Some Desirable Extensions.

Further desirable extensions Of public
library work urged by the speaker includ-
ed the circulation of books through all
public. private and parochial schools,
Sunday schools, government offices,
through field houses built the municipal
Fairgrounds, through large system of
home libraries placed in homes not other
wise reached. and by means of cheap
parcel post, which would take books TO the
rural parts of the District
Mr. Bowerman advocated instruction to
children in the intelligent and profitable
schools or by the library, and to adults
by means of lectures, study clubs and
reading courses conducted by the library.
Present Work of the Library.
In outlining the present work of the
library the speaker stated that in the
matter of book purchases, as in all
other points of library administration,
the touchstone is the maximum of eff
ficient service to the individual, and
that the essential function of the
library is to be literary institution for
adults, furnishing, as it can, and often
does, the chief source of information and
inspiI alton to clergymen, teachers, jour
nalists, authors and literary and study
clubs. The chldren's department., COM
plete library in miniature, gives counsel
to teachers and parents in the reading
Of the young. The industrial department
has large patronage on the part of ambi-
tious engineers mechanics and business
men, SO that the library directly aids
the commercial development OF the city
and the earning power of it's citizens.
In closing his address, Mr.. Bowerman
said: II trust that my remarks have not
lacked indications that the public library
as conducted in Washington is an active,
aggressive, social agent: not simply stat
ic, but dynamic, with all of its forces
directed toward moral and civic enlight-
eminent and social uplift."

SPORTING NEWS AND LIVE GOSSIP FROM EVERYWHERE

After an investigation into conditions, it appears that the athletic situation at the University of Alabama is in as healthy State as ever before. and considerably healthier than last season.
 The alumni have been given considera- tionaand there will be no longer taxation without representation. Hugo Friedman of Tuscaloosa holds membership on the athletie committee of the university. The students are represented by Baumgard- ner and Moody; the faculty by Dr. Smith and Dr. sanold.
 As a result. college spirit at Tuscaloosa is as fine as ever before, Coach Graves Is popular with the students and with the players He has demonstrated to the sat isfaetion of those who saw his game against Howard Saturday that he is cap able of handling a team, and of directing its fight against an adversary. There have been times at the university when the coach did not understand the art of tackling and falling on the ball.
 Ano1ner factor in favor of the university this season is the weight of the men. It is said that Alabama will average 16O pounds this year. While this would not argue the player giants, it does argue that the yare heavier than in recent seasons
 The schedule this year is an average one

ALABAMA AND AUBURN WILL
 PROBABLY MEET NEXT YEAR

1 and fine sport is promised. Since the change in conditions, the faculty is heartily in favor of football, and will en- courage it's moderate indulgence.
 So. everything considered, Alabama looks we'll like a convalescent typhoid patient, in fact, with appetite, new strength, and ambition to recover lost ground. The age of the politician in Ala bama athletics has passed, it Is hoped.
 Next season, it is confidently believed that relations between Alabama and Au- made the advances toward reconciliation, and but for technicalities, the two would have met this fall. However, there is nothing to interfere with plans for next season. The old spirit of fight has about died away, and both sides seem to realize that they were acting like a bunch of old women at foot washing. To both col leges, it is fair that the 1912 programme provides for baseball and football. So the suggestion is made that the two institu- tions confer at the conclusion of the cur rent season in order that no hitch might occur in 1912.
 If they enter the conference in the proper frame of mind. and that they will, is sincerely believed generally, next spring. Alabama and Auburn will meet on the diamond, and in the fall the two will clash on the gridiron. If such arrange ments are not concluded it will be the result of the tampering with the pie on the part of a number of disgruntled poli- ticians. H. w. R'
