The Sleeping Porch Fad

TT II quite true that the American
people have been and are at times
subject to the craziest fads ever heard
of, but among the many useless fads
adopted in u country there occur
occasionally one or two which prove
OF general benefit to mankind. One
which has become very popular in the
past i've years and Is Of especial value
Ia tho sleeping porch.
Until recently nc one ever heard Of
sleeping n the open except in the case
of ,consumptives or campers. Then q
short while ago some one had a fash
Of genius and asked IL sleeping In the
open were good for co~nsumptives why
was 1t not good for persons in normal
health.
Gradually as the craze was accept.
cd and slowly spread men and women
all over he country began to utilize
the tops Of their verandas and all odd
little porches for sleeping purposes.
After awhile the Weather followers
Of the tad started to build sleeping
porches to their homes. These were
constructed more or less like ordinary
rooms. with heavy roofs and walls. but
the upper half Of these walls was left
open. The fittings in some Of these
outdoor rooms are as beautiful as those
in any of the indoor rooms.
Tho beneft Of this fad Is 30 patent
that II. seems almost unnecessary to
explain wherein It lies. To breathe the
free, unadulterated air ali night long

and 1t Is safe to assert that no child
brought up in q sleeping porch will
ever have a tendency to weak lungs.
Young children who are unaccustom-
ed to sleeping In the open should be
started. o n their sleeping porch careers
in the hottest weather and gradually
worked up to the winter weather. In
this way they become accustomed to
the gradually increasing cold, and, far
from being dangerous for them to
sleep In the open. 1t is highly healthful,
but only under tho above mentioned
conditions. To put a young babyxout

mother should form the sleeping porch

which can be utilized for this purpose.

"MAKE THE PUNISHMENT FIT
THE CRIME"

>
WHATEVER reproach or privation

clearly connected with the offense. The

the punishment should not be SO long

MONEY WANTED FOR
MISSISSIPPI NORMAL

jackson, Miss, January 19-(Speciall |
Dr.. Joe Cook, president of the State
Normal college at Hattiesburgi has been
in jackson the past two or three days
in the interest of his institution. and will
go before the appropriations committee
before he gets out of town. The college
is asking for a good. big sum of money
this time, but in view of the fact that
the state has never spent cent on build
ings for that college, it is believed they
will get about what they want.
The college was built and established on
money voted by Hattesburg and the
county in which the college is located
some 100000 and is well under way,
However, there is not enough room and
more dormitories are demanded by the
faculty and the trustees. DIR. Cook states
tbat he has more than 60 applications on
file now, and which have been turned
down for the simple reason that he cannot
house any more than are now on hand
The capacity of the college has been taxed
ever since it was opened, and even now
buildings are being leased for the accom-
modation of students.

WHAT TO EXPECT
OF YOUR LIBRARY
BY CARL II. MILAN

Director birmingham Public Library
The student likes to find in one place
on the shelves of a library all the books
and pamphlets on a given subject. The
object of classification is to make that
possible. However, there sre-single books
that deal with several different subjects.
These books cannot be separated into
their different parts and so must be
placed in division that is probably cor
rect for only one chapter.
1t thus becomes necessary to have a
catalog that will lead the student to the
material on his subject not found with
the whole books on that subject.
There are times also when a student
wants to see all the books by a given
author These may be on a dozen diff
ferent subjects and scattered in a dozen
different places on the shelves. The
catalog must enable the man to find
them all.
Or, it may be that a man has been
told that lone Way Out" is good book
that he ought to read. But he doesn t
know the author and doesn't know wheth-
er it is fiction. religion or sociology. This
man, too, must be able to find his book
by use of the cataog.
People may expect, then. to find at
the public library an accurate catalog
of all the material in the library by
which they can find book if they know
author title or subject and by which they
can locate all the material on one subject
and all the books by one author.
The Birmingham public library catalog
is what is called a dictionary catalog.
all entries. authors, titles and subjects
being arranged in one alphabet just as
words are arranged in dictionary.
