aeofo4y.
Hon. Victor A. Lewis, West Virginia
state librarian and historian, speaks
Interestingly OF the progress made in
the department Of archives.
The department is growing rapid
W" said Mr.. Lewis, there being over
10000 volumes of pamphlets, all of
value to the state. People have little
idea, generally speaking, of the vast
amount of history and other material
relating to them and to those who
have gone on before, collected and
brought into this department. The
books cover wide range of literature,
the rarely of them being an important
feature, many hundred of them being
out of print for half a century and
more.
Especially have we been active in
securing the works of all West Vir-
ginia authors, and of all others who
have written about West Virginia. In
the department we have sections de-
voted to the various religious denomi.
nations and fraternal organizations
BY way OF. explanation, Mr.. Lewis
continued, by archives we mean all
papers and documents that relate to
the administration of the state govern
ment and to social, moral and religious
life of the people. In the department
the history and archives of every
American state are represented This
may be said or the nations as well.
E"The museum section is rare col
lection of archaeology, geology, relies
and curios. There are 65 large chow
cases containing about $4,000 archae-
logical specimens, including many OF
the stone age, while there are 900
geological specimens and several hun
bred curios, relics, utensils, and i'm
plements which were in use by gen
erations now extinct, including the
moundbuilders and various tribes OF
Indians.
While the work in the department
is constantly growing, it is neverthe
less to be enjoyed, for the reason that
it is always intensely interesting and
inspiring"
Asked in regard to the military rec
ords of the state, Mr. Lewis stated
that they had never been published
but that he vas at present putting
them in form and all are undergoing
careful research and editing, to the
end that these published volumes will
add greatly to the library section.

HOW TO FIGHT THE BEETLE.
