"HE IDEAL attitude of the public library toward fiction should
be Of severity tempered by liberation. public library
should buy all the good novels and buy them large numbers
The bad novels it should not buy at all All public library
hn has do the NATTER reference novel, discover
whether it is good or bad.
This simple thing to state but wengh impossible thing
do There eaygong readers who think there good all
novels and there mpacabe haters modern fiction who sy
tain that at present. good novels written at all From
mee made the mpaabs the and intermediate types
critics the public librarian should varied estimates Of all the novels
published and from these varied estimates draw his conclusions
These conclusions will frequently wrong but he will have lived
the best light he has He will probably find good novels To
deny that good novels written today to make too sweeping inn
peachment literary output Let the librarian do his best to find
these good novels and then duplicate and rae them many times

than the librarian that there large number of
readers who read anything but fiction They have lost the

Aside from all ethical reasons why
capital punishment should be forever abol-
ished l beg to mention more potent one.
! make my appeal now in the name Of
economy.
We all know that in most cases the e1-
pense in the prosecution is in direct ratio
to the financial rating of the accused, but
even where four men are sentenced to be
hanged within two months of the date Of
their crime there is a certain amount Of
money spent by the state. It seems hardly
fair that the public should be taxed for
this purpose needlessly.
