"This bequest will enable the library
to buy all the scientific books it needs
for years to come, II the amount ap-
proaches $4,000 as you say. Sociol-
ogy Is one branch of science, Of
course.
THE will is drawn with rare judg-
ment by Dr. Gramm, in that 1t does
not require the principal to be spent
/ for books, but only the income is to
be used for that purpose Ten thous-
and dollars worth of scientific books
would be worth about nine hundred
dollars in about five years-you know
science of all kinds is advancing SO
fast now that book five years old is
like map Of the Mississippi valley
dated 1872, it Is so far behind the
times and the up-to-date knowledge.
But the income from the invested
bequest will be available every year
and at FIVE per cent on $4,000 will
yield $500 year fer book buying
That is just about the right amount tc
spend for scientific books for the Keo
kuk library to keep it's shelves vel
balanced as to the different subjects
available for reading. | know nothins
but what you say about what the be
quest will amount to, but If 1t Is owe
$4,000 1t will still be the best thin!
that has ever happened to the librar.

arge amount Of scientific reading in

large amount of scientific reading in
the public library will be permanent,
because of, the tremendous develop
ment about to start here. Machinists
and all factory workmen are great
readers along the scientific lines con-
nected with their work. We are going
to have an immense number of them
here permanently. Therefore we will
have to keep the. Keokuk library well
supplied with the books they want, II
the library is to fulfill its public mis-
sion.
There seems to be nothing in the
idea that the will may be invalid be-
cause the executor, Mr.. Hollingsworth
is library trustee-he did not be-
come a trustee until July 1, 1908. LONG
after the will was drawn, as am In
formed it is dated the previous Jan
uary. Previous to his appointment
Mr.. Hollingsworth had nothing what
ever to do with the library, and had
nothing to do with it In January

opportunity will be given him to tell
of the work being done by men and

of the visit of DR.. Partridge.
On December Bishop Johnson,

kota, to be bishop coadjutor and as
sistant of Bishop futile of Missouri,

All of these meetings will be oper

The rector of st. Johns church, the
Rev. John G. Sage, has been fortunate
in securing a number of eminent
bishops and clergy of the Episcopal
church to visit Keokuk during the
coming fall and winter. Through
these visits Mr.. Sage expects to give
the parishioners of st. Johns and their
friends glimpses of the activities of
the church in this country and through
out the world, for the men who are
coming are leaders in many of the
larger extension movements of the
Episcopal church.
Among those who will speak at
early dates are, the Very Rev Dean
Sumner of Chicago, whose work as
the head of the Chicago Vice Commis-
sion has done more, perhaps, to bring
to the attention of Chicago people the
Immoral conditions OF the city than
any other public man. Dean Sumner
on his visit is. through the courtesy
of Mr.. Sage, to address the Cosmopoli

The BIGGEST Thing ever.

4 ne 6lS9eSt Inih9 GVST.
DR. G. Walter Barr, chairman of the
donations committee and member of
the book committee of the library trus-
tees, talked about the Gramm bequest
in answer to an enquiry from The Gate
City. DR.. Barr was an active scien-
| fist for fifteen years before he became
literatuer He said:
This bequest of DR.. Sara Gramm is
by far the most important the Keokuk
library ever had. The Rice bequest
with the string to it has made it i'm
possible for us to get Carnegie IL
brary and in fact any adequate library
building in a proper location, and per-
sonally | wish it could be abrogated.
But this gift of DR.. Gramm is made
in a remarkably efficient way.
Scientific books are especially cost
ly, and the library working as it is
/ with too little income, has not been
able to keep that part of the shelves
up SO well as it would like to do. You
know this Keokuk library has the
largest circulation of books per capita
and the least income, of any public
library in the state of Iowa. Incident
ally 1t is already one of the largest
in number of volumes, notwithstand
ing it's lack of income. The chic
credit for all these things belongs tt
,, Ben. B. Jewell, by the way.
