At this time much is done for the bene.

Leagues are organized in many cities to
promote the care for and reading of good
books. The librarian is informed as to
the course of study in the public schools,
and part of the buying of books is directed
to meet the needs OF both teacher and
pupil for collateral reading. The library
also supplies the needs Of the various
clubs for literary work.
Another important phase of library ex-
tension is the work of Library Comissions
in giving advice and active help to librar.

travelling libraries which often leads to
the establishment OF permanent libraries.
Libraries, like schools, are educational
institutions whose work tends 20 make

for their public support.

States has been studied with success and
We have school OF librarians whose in.
teligence and fitness is beyond praises.
The usefulness Of library depends solely
on the benefit the readers derive from the
books they nee. This may be better when
few books are taken than when many are
taken. A libsary is an immense encyclope-
dia of all knowledge, and a great library
to be ideally complete, should contain
every book that may be called for by q
student, but of course there is no such
library in existance.
The first public library law in Ameica
was that which was passed in New York
in 1885 From the beginning we have
had the college aud other special libraries
for The scholar. Then came the subscrip-
ton library ofthe ty pc of the Philadelphia
Library, founded in 1882, aud later the
library free 10 all of which the oldest is
the Boston Public Librbxy, founded in
1852. Tins the collega library is as old
az the college itself. the first being that OF
Harvard, 1886; the subscription library is
well along in its second century; and the
pnI library is about hall century old.
Tie first general statistics of libraries in
Amtrica were published by the Commits
sioner Of Education in 1876. At that time
there we're $4,000, 600 volumes in 250O
libraries, and in 1900, there were about
40, ,000 600 in the libraries in the country.
Tie growth of libraries has been much
promoted by many bensfactiona. Notable
among the givers are john Grerar and W.
n. New berry OF Chicago, George Peabody
aud Enoch Pratt Of Baltimore and Ben-
i4min Rush of Philade1phia, each OF
whom gave more than 100000. Far
exceeding these donations are the many
gifts Of Andrew Carnegie Of Pitssburg,
who has given millions 10 libraries. On
his last birthday, November % b, he gave
$1,000, 900 to Carnegie Institute. I6deed.

PUBLIC LIBRARIES OF U. $.

TIE TRANSCRIPT takes great pleasure IL
giving TO it's readers an unusually fine
| paper on the history Of the public libraries
10 the United States, read before the New
Century Club on last Tuesday by Mrs. G.
A. Hofecker.
It has been said there is nothing new
under the sun. and all things are as old as
the hills. While some OF us may think
libraries are modern institution. II we
will read the Apocry pha, we will find in
in Second Maccabees, chapter Il, verses
1916, that "the brethren, the Jews that
are in Jerusalem and they that are in the
country of Judea, sent greeting to the
brethren, the Jews that are throughout
Egypt" informing them that Nehemiah
founding library, gathered together the
books ebout the kings and prophets and
the books of David" ana "in like manner
Judah also gathered for Us all those writ
ings that had been scattered by reason of
the war that befell and they are still with
us.n
Then We read in Plutarch, writing of
LuculIus, "He got together great mum.
books for the libraries were
open to ali and the reading
were accessible to the Greeks, without
restriction" The Alexandrian library,
which it is said fell prey in whole or
part, to the torch OF the Caliph Omar in
$40 A. D., was until recently the earliest
known great collection of books. It con-
tanned 700, 600 volumes in all languages.
Among its other treasures was the septua-
gint translation of the old Testament.
But the worlds oldest library, the true
primal Bodlein of horary antiquity is that
which modern explorations Of ancient city
sites have discovered at Nippur, south of
Babylon, buried beneath the debris of at
least four earlier cities aud civilizations.
The ''books' are clay tablets inscribed
with cuneiform characters and number
many hundreds OF thousands. The library
probably dates from about 5000 B. G.
In the middle ages, Martin Luther, in
a writing of 1924, urged that no money or
industry should be spared in forming IL
braries especially in prosperous large
town..
Josiah H. Benton, president of the
trustees of the Boston Public Library, says
''Ghe public library is, in itself, system
oil education for all aud free to all. Il
places tie highest special knowledge at
the services of our citizens without charge
and without Unnecessary formality."

HOUSEHOLD LETTER
Great strides are being made 10 The

Great strides are being made in the furn'
ishing and decorating Of average homes,
Fitness is the keynote to good furnishing,
80 the kitchen Of the average home, where
the fittings are chosen solely for utility, of
ten measures up more satisfactorily from
from the standpoint of taste, than the
parlor or drawing room where display has
been the prime motive OF selection, The
living room is superseding the more for
NAL, and comparatively useless, company
apartments, and even the casual guest has
share of the hospitality that turks only
where the household assemblies. Sub
stantiality replaces the fussy fimsiness Of
the old time reception room, and homi-
ness rather than would be elegance
characterizes the new type of household
furnishing. Fittings are carefully chosen
to not only please the eye and accord with
one another in color and style, but to
stand wear, aud minister to the comfort
and ease Of home living.
The Entrance Hall
The entrance hall should give the motif
for the decoration of the rooms on the
FIRST floor and indeed should accord with
all the rooms, since the hall decorations
are supposed to continue uniformly
throughout the house. Floor coverings
should also be uniform on halls and stairs
where a hard wood finish does not
supply this evenhpss OF col1r: A few sub
stantial rather strongly colored rugs in
runner or other shapes to suit the space
will offer enough diversity OF coloring, and
can be added to from time to time. 1t is
always mistake to finish up the furnish.
ing Of house all at once. Buy only the
necessities and take time for selecting,
the other things If you want your house
to possess character and attractiveness.
New Wall Hangings
There is little that is new in wall de-
corations except the wood veneers, but
ali known hangings come in new coloringa
and patterns in the soft neutral grays and
browns and .tans that are so much liked
just now. The washable wall hanging
Sanitas comes in Jasper stripes" and 10
all the chintz and other fashionable pat
terms with a soft mat finish, as well as in
limitations OF title, burlaps and leather
This costs little more than wall paper
but as it never fades and damp sponge
freshens it indefinitely, it is an economical
choice for the owner of the house. Bord-
ers are either in wide picture friezes, or
are very narrow and in the latter case are
placed below the picture mouidings.

ginning of 1910 this library contained
265, ,000 books and was administered by
95 officers and employees of whom IS are
women. They have collection OF stan.
dard works in all the literary European

derry work. Much interest is shown in
the lists of Catholic books in this library,
the lists being prepared by Rev. John F.
O'Donovan in 1900. The branch library
on Sc. Paul street is of great service TO the
Woman's College. One of the college
students who was especially helped last
year was blind girl who says she can't
tell just how much it meant to her to be
able to use the library.
The free library of Philadelphia's nj es
teen branches of which ten we're erected
by Mr.. Carnegie. By the will of Mr..
Robert NJ. Ryers, part of his farm near
Fox Chase was devised to the city Of
Philadelphia, the house TO be fitted up
and used as library, reading room and
museum, to be free to the public. The
widow Of Mr.. Ryers also gave to the city
various books, pictures and curiosities
which are considered valuable. The
''StoTy Hour" of which you have proba-
bly, heard, is in its seventh year Of very
successful work, and every year adds
something to the improvement of the
generous plan and purpose OF this weekly
event in sixteen libraries where children
gather after school hours to listen to some
of the worlds greatest stories. The "Lib.
rary League" is made up of boys from "A
to 18 years of age who work in the mills.
At their meetings some member of the
staff gives her time to direct the attention
of the League members to well-known
authors by reading aloud famous stories
of travel, romance and adventure.
] The special field of this library may be
defined as that of the natural, physical
and social sciences and their applications,
The books are devided into general works,
social sciences, natural sciences, medical
sciences and applied sciences.
On account of the peculiar demands Of
a scientific library, the Board win not
consider applications for positions from
persons not having a reading knowledge
of French and German aud nearly all ths
employees are graduates of library schools
or have entered the service from other
libraries.
A special purchase made by this lib.
rary was the private library Of the late
Mr.. G. V. Gerritsen Of Amsterdam, HoI-
land. 1t consists of $4,000 volumes and
10, 900 pamphlets on social and economic
subiqcts. An important gift was received
from DIR. Nichols Sem in 1905, 10 the val-

COULD NOT STAND SUFFERING
FROM SKIN ERUPTION

Il have been using Cuticura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment for the past
three months and l am glad to say
that they cured me of a most annoy
ing skin eruption. 1t began by my no
ticing red blotches appearing on my
face and scalp. Although they were
rather dis1guring, did not think any
thing Of them until they began to get
scaly and dry and to itch and burn
until I could not stand the suffering
Then I began to use a different soap,
thinking that my old kind might be
hurting me, but that didn't seem to do
any good. I went to two different doc
tors but neither seemed to relieve me
any. lost many nights sleep in con-
tinual scratching, sometimes scratch
ing till I drew the blood on my face
and head. Then I started in to use
the Cuticura Remedies and in two
months was entirely relieved of that
awful pest. I am so delighted over
my cure by Cuticura Remedies that
shall be glad to tell anybody about
it." (Signed) G.. M. Macfarland, 221

by a disappointed supporter for never
opening his mouth in the house, repu-
dated the accusation with indignation.
Not a. day passed, he declared, but
that he said something; and 1t was
reported in the papers, too. In con-

duced the report of the last debate,
and pointed triumphantly to the
