Work with the Children.

Instruction at the summer library
school, which is being held at the jul
dietary rooms at the State House. was
continued, Thursday, in the subjects
of cataloguing and reference work. In
the latter subject, dictionaries and en-
cyclopedias were discussed and ques-
tions We're given out for research
work.
Mrs. Belle Holcomb Johnson of
Hartford, Conn. the Instructor, lee
tured in the afternoon on library work
with the children and with schools.
She said in part: Library workers
with children need first of all to real
ize that children live in a different
world from grownups, they look at
the same things in different way.
To be successful then, in this work,
one must get the child's point of
view. The three problems in work
with the children are. administration,
connection with the schools and con-
nection with the community.

ing in consideration of the rights of
others. The lesson of the care of
books must also be taught. and this
will lead to better care of public prop
erty in general
Mrs. Johnson recommended the
closest possible relations between Ii
brarians and school superintendent
and teachers. She urged giving teach
ers increased liberty privileges, send
ing collections of books to schools re-
mote from the library, encouraging
school children to use the library for
reference work in connection with
school studies inviting teachers and
pupils to visit the library and in
structing school classes in book maxi
ing, care of books, use of the eat
alogue and use of reference books.
In closing, Mrs. Johnson said that
the librarian who can see that the
books, the library and the librarian
herself are touching the lives of the
boys and girls, and helping them. es
pecially those who are not reached by
other influences for good may feel
that her work is worth while.
Mrs. Johnson will discuss, at $3.50 P.
NJ, Friday the subject of "Ghildrens
Books" This subject should interest
all who are in any way connected
with children and who have to select
children's reading.
