The question Of the selection Of books
enters largely into the success of the
travelling library. It is the opinion Of
most library commissions that these
collections should be as flexible as
possible to meet individual needs. The
privilege Of choosing the books one
wants to read is as old as the free
library. A patron al q central library
goes TO the desk and asks for what
he wants, and so far as possible the
travelling libraries try TO permit the
same thing.
The travelling library movement owes
much TO the Federated WOman's clubs
in the various states. For ten years
the kentucS Federation Of Woman's
clubs maintained a travelling library
system IN the mountain regions of that
state Since the organization Of the
state library commission over a hun
dred Of these travelling Libraries have
been turned over to the commission.
In Pennsylvania the development Of
the travelling library system is due
almost entirely to the activity Of the
club women.
Every War Vessel Has Library.
Inc war and navy departments Of the
United states government now operate
extensive travelling library systems.
Every ship flying the American flag
now carries a well selected library. The
religious books and fiction which or
iginally composed the ships's library,
have been supplemented by modern
books on popular scientific subjects.
These books are proving influential in
developing a desire for self improve

lately freed from serfdom still hesitate

they wiz take books If they are placed

obituary-Mrs. Rebecka P;sg.

Mrs. Rebecka Pigg died at her
home near Thurman, Ste. Genevieve
county, August %, 1912, aged n
years, 10 months and IA days. Her
maiden name was Wilborn, and she
was born October 10, 1884. She was
married to Thomas Cunningham In
1853, to which union were born seven
sons, four OF whom survive her.
Her first husband died In 1870, and I'm
1877 she was married to VIM. &.
Pigg. To this union two children
were born, one Of whom, Mrs. Dilla
Byington, survives her. She pro-
iessed religion at old Pendleton
Church near Doe Run over fifty
years ago, since when she has lived
a devoted Christian life.
Many who knew her best will re-
member her for her faithful devo-
ton to the Master, ever looking for
ward for the crown that is promised
to the finally faithful. She leaves a
host OF relatives and friends to
mourn her loss, but their loss is her
eternal gain. We would say to he-
children, weep not but strive to meet
her where parting is no more.
Her funeral was preached by Rev.
j. NJ. Baugh Mt her home TO a large
concourse of relatives and neigh
bors, and her remains were laid at
