.STROKM DEFENDS
LIBRARY CHANGES
New Methods Have Proven Sat.
isfactory In Other Cities,
He Says

Adam Strohm, librarian OF the De-
troit public library. was able TO pre-
pare a defense. Friday to criticisms
OF his administration.
Mr. Strohm denies that there has
been decrease in the circulation of
the library system The official in
crease for 1913 was l34,357, he says.
The apparent decrease in the circu-
lation of the main library is due, he
says. TO a different system of book
keeping.
He says that changes in methods
that have taken place have not been
novelties, but have been in prac.
tice in other libraries until their value
had been proven.
He praises the library staff highly,
and says that II is loyal harmonious
and eager to put the library in the
front rank. The removal OF Miss
Hurst, from the reference depart
ment was necessitated, he said, by
the freedom she permitted with the
regulations, which had a demoraliz-
ing effect. He expresses surprise
that the contemplated removal OF
Miss Poray has occasioned unfavor-
able comment. The removal OF Miss
Ganley from the cataloguing depart
ment he says. is caused by the install.
