STAKE RACES
PUBLIC LIBRARY NEWS

Twenty-one new books, thirteen for
adults and eight for children, were ad-
ded to the library the past week. A
list of the authors and titles is posted
in the library.
One of the new books is about base
ball. This is what the Chicago Eve
ming Post has to say of it: Baseball
literature can be as real as any other
kind of literature. 1t can be written
in slap-dash and get-it-over-quick fash
ion by some anonymous hack and pre-
scented to the world over the signature
of some complaisant star of the dia-
mond. Or it can be written by a COM
petent and conscientious student of the
game in actual collaboration with
man who holds first rank as a player.
In the latter class of baseball literature
is Touching Second" the work of
Mr.. Hugh S. Fullerton, whose reputa-
ton as brilliant writer upon the nat
ional pastime has justly grown from
local to national, in collaboration with
Mr.. John j. Evers, "the greatest sec
ond baseman of his day." Any man
who reads Touching Second" ought
to know the game better and like it
better"
Some new screen doors have been
placed at the library. They were much
needed and are great improvement.
The Summer Library Conference con-
Quoted by the Wisconsin Free Library
Commission, at Madison, from July u
to 26th, was very helpful and enjoy
able one for library workers of our own
state as well as for those of many other
states. The Conference was held in
the quarters of the Wisconsin Library
School, and its equipment, books ana
supplies were available for inspection
and study. The program was arranged
under the following heads, each occupy.
ing three or four days: l problems OF
administration, 2 Extension and publi-
city, Children's work, 4 Book select
ion. The first appointment each morn
ing at eight O'Clock was devoted to an
assembly, at which sociological and
practical subjects were discuss q.
Among those who addressed these as
semblies were the following: Prof.
John r. Commons, who spoke on Labor
Legislation; Prof Stephen w. Gilman,
who gave an excellent lecture on Bust
ness Efficiency; Hon. W. H. Hatton on
The Meaning of Social Service; Mr.. F.
A. Hutchins on Extension Work; Mr..
I. {. Richmond on Our Debt to Soci-
ETY.; Hon. H. l.. Eckern on Initiative
and Referendum; Mr.. Herbert Quick
on Civic Problems, Civic Literature,
ETC.; and Rev. R. H. Edwards on the
Librarian as a Social Worker.
Besides those already mentioned
many others prominent in library work
addressed the conference. Among them
Henry E. Legler, former secretary of
the Wisconsin Library Commission and
now librarian of the Chicago Public Lii
brary, gave some fine illustrated lee
lures on the social significance of the
modern library movement.
Mrs. Gudrum Thorne-T Thompson, the
successful story teller and teacher of
children's literature from the School of
Education, Chicago, led the discussion
during the three days devoted to chill
dren's work. She gave course of lee
lures on the selection of stories and the
principles of story telling, giving prae-
teal demonstrations. C.

The Circus and the Newspaper.

1t is not unnatural that there should
exist bond of good feeling, il not, in
deed good fellowship, between the Cir
Gus and the newspaper. There Is 4
peculiarly wonderful similarity in
many respects III the two avocations.
Both are mirrors rejecting that which
appeals 10 popular thought. Both a-e
built on the exhibition plan. Both
are made up of features de
signed to interest and instruct. Each
in its own field must be backed by ell
teTprise and pluck if il would succeed.
Both are fascinating occupations, filed
with the thrill and sentiment that
makes life worth living.
But most important of all, the Cir
Gus and the newspaper. are the only
TWO institutions in all the ramihcatioBs
of the worlds endeavor which build
the structure from the ground up ey-
cry day. AT night all that represents
a days hard work and real druggery
must be torn down, and in the morning
the foundation is laid again and an
other structure arises only 10 be Ge.
stroyed with the close of the day.
And so il goes day in and day out.
There is just one difference and it is
important In the circus pretty
much the same routine is pursued
timed to the minute day after day. and
the same wondrous beauty, the same
feats and accomplishments go before
the public only in different places. But
in the newspaper what was here today
is dead tomorrow. The world moves
and news feTments more rapidly than
ripe Strawberries beneath the sun :
blazing rays. What was of interest to-
day is OF no concern TO the public To-
morrow. The people thirst for news.
The dead whose graves are wateTed
with tears today are forgotten tomor-
row and names that were sweet to tire
ear are lost TO memory-that is, TO the
public memory. 1t is mad race. The
public is eager TO see. TO hear, TO know.
II is the desire that he who runs may
read, but be must have the news in
front of him while he runs.
And so the public must be entertain
ed as we'll as interested while it runs.
Thus it is with the circus which s
here today and away tomorrow. And
so with the newspaper which is before
you al this moment only TO be destroy !
ed ere the curtains fall TO make way
for the events OF the morrow in which |
you viii be more interested.
1t is merry grind. but the human |
family must be satisfied II must be /
aud 1t must be interested. |
IL must Anow
