lation the table shows that in ali but

ceeded and that the average expenditure
per volume of home circulation was Is
cents.
Each year as these annual reports are
being written. material is being
prepared for presentation to appropria-
ton committees, the hope is indulged that
now, at length, these arguments will have
the desired effect and will secure the
long-needed increased resources. Each
year the argument grows stronger for d
change. Instead, however, of any pro-
portionate increase, as there has been in
most other American cities. the Washing
ton figures show decrease in per capita
expenditures from 20 cents in 1910 to IL
cents in 1928. and in cost per volume
circulated from II cents in 1910 to I'D
cents in 1912-13. IL the library admins
tration had been inefficient and the serv-
ice had been deteriorating, such lack of
support might be expected. But in spite
of handicapS 1t is believed that the serv-
ice is each year more nearly adequate
than ever before. Present appropriatiG@ g
methods are comparable with a reduc-
ton of the capital of commercial bust
ness progressively as the dividends in

cannot but again wonder whether the
time will soon arrive when this library
will be put fairly on it's feet. so that ii

other municipal public libraries of the

APPROVE NEED Of HOME

District Commissioners May
Take Up Matter at Hear
ings on Budget.

Consideration given by the Monday
Evening Club to the need of the establish
ment here of an institution for the adult
feeble-minded may bear fruit much
earlier than members of that body have
anticipated.
The District Commissioners, it is
learned. are much interested in the mat
ter, and while their estimates do not pro-
vide for an institution, there is a posi-
bility. it is said, that the Question may
be taken up in the course of the hear
ings on the budget by the District sub
committee of the House appropriations
committee.
Need of an institution of this character
was discussed at meeting of the Mon
day Evening Club last Monday in con-
nection with the clubs study Of the So
cial needs of the capital.
May Be 800 in the District.
Alexander Johnson Of the Vineland, n.
j.. Training School for Mentally Deficient
Persons, who addressed the meeting, esti-
mated that there may be as many AS 800
feeble minded persons in the District of
Columbia. 1t was stated by George S.
Wilson, secretary OF the board OF char
tiles, who introduced Mr.. Johnson, that
only about sixty or seventy of these are
cared for in outside institutions. as the
District is entirely without facilities of its
own for such service.
Mr.. Johnson suggested that an institu-
ton for the feeble-minded should be built
along the lines of the so-called cottage
plan adopted for the workhouse at Oc-
cOquan.
Commissioner Newman said today that
he considers the establishment Of an in
stitution for the feeble-minded one of
the important needs of the District, and
that it is not unlikely the matter will be
considered during the course of the hear
