Advocates More Libraries.

An earnest plea for more public libra
ries in the United States, especially in the
rural sections of the country. was made
by Dr. P. P. ClaXton United States COM
missioner of education, in an address on
Libraries for Rural Communities.
He declared that in spite of the develop
ment of libraries in this country in the
past twenty-five years, two-thirds of the
population are denied adequate access to
real collection of books. He said the
best equipped libraries are where they do
the least good "A library should be in
stalled in every county boastlng of a
good sized town. and it should be accessi-
BILE to every man. woman and child in
the county, upon whom a tax should be
imposed to maintain it

Mr.. Matthews, in his paper on THE

published by the Boy Scout movement, is
the most popular juvenile of the day. He
declared that in the last four years more
than 100000 copies have been sold. and
that the demand continues. SO that it is
significant that from the very beginning
the scout movement has been influential
in directing the reading of boys.

plans for such a building, but no money
was appropriated for making plans. He

and more varied experience in archive

Work for Good Reading.

Toward the first end librarians have
already established Christmas exhibits
of best books for children, have published
recommended lists of books and have
seized every opportunity to talk to moth
ers' clubs and teachers associations
These activities should be continued and
broadened in the future. That every chill
dren's book department in the land shall
be supervised by some one who knows
good books and loves them is unqueston-
ably an end to be worked for.
In regard to lowering book prices il
does lot appear that mucn has yet been
done ty the libraries. The Boy Scout
organization is working upon that very
problem. and in this as in all their activ-
tiles it should have the hearty co-opera-
ton of every children's librarian.

brary, with all the new inducements and
attractions, and interested American
readers. though German still far outdis-
tances all other foreign languages in the
circulation of books, the annual increase
for this last year barely exceeds one-half
of 1 per cent.
There can be no question of danger to
our English from these foreign languages.
The menace Is their disappearance and
the loss to US in practical and pleasant
knowledge of many forms. The use of
foreign languages could now easily be
made a national accomplishment. as it is
in many countries OF the continent. But
In indifference We are letting the oppor-
tunity pass, forgetting that our nation,
for all the races of it's origin. will never

Trash Is Eliminated.

He said the leaders of the movement
with the cooperation of several of the
leading magazines have done notable
work in eliminating, in considerable
measure. the vicious dime and nickel
novel. He said that at the present time
this effort is continuing against the type
of stories which have been found mount
ed in the disguise of good binding on
the shelves of many book stores-the
same vicious nickel novel secreted
within an attractive cover.
The Boy Scout movement has also had
considerable work to do to protect Itself
from the so-called Boy Scout books, SO
it has been necessary to organize lib
rary commission within the movement to
censor questionable books" he declared.
This commission has gone further and
gives its approval to books issued under
the heading Every Boys Library
The speaker said that in June. 1912,
the National Boy Scout Organization pur-
chased the Boys Life Magazine be-
cause it was deemed necessary to prevent
the exploitation of the boys Of America
by individuals using the name of the or
ganization to the incalculable harm Of
the movement.

"Gang" Spirit Recognized.

The Boy Scout movement has recog-
nized and built upon the gang spirit. In
stories, the gang makes an irresistible
appeal" he declared. Good authors
have not been SO quick to sense this point
of contact with the boy mind as have
the authors of mediocre and distinctly in
ferior stories. Through the Boy Scout
movement, opportunity is presented to
make very good use of this value in writ
ing stories about Boy Scout troops; show
ing how they under the influence of the
scout oath and law do things which are
best for boys to do, and how much fun
they have in doing them Mr.. Matthews
described the work of the magazine Boys
Life by showing how it presents stimu-
lating and encouraging messages to boys
from living great men,"
Mr.. Matthews concluded by giving sew
eral illustrations of the enormous output
of certain so-called authors of nickel
novels, mentioning one instance of an
author" who wrote under twelve names
and of another who employed a staff of
writer's, the latter in the last year pro-
ducing forty-one books.

Children's Books Bad.

That the children's librarians find
themselves today facing a serious situa-
ton in the ever-increasing output of
worse than worthless childrens books,
the extent to which these books are ad-
vertised and the numbers in which they
are sold, was the statement of Mary
Ely, head of the children's department,
Public Library, Dayton, Ohio.
''The situation not only faces the
librarians. but presses itself upon them,
she declared. The time is past when
they can feel that they have fulfilled
their whole duty when they have main

it is a school of American life. Through

helping him to learn English, that will
improve his working skill and wages, and
reduce by one-half as English does. his
liability to serious industrial accident
This is the truth of the practice as well
as of theory"
The speaker said that Providence r. L..
reports that the hunger for books among
our immigrants is keen and universal.
Boston, welcoming the unskilled laborer
as well as the cultured student of classics,
has made striking progress in these new
efforts the last three or four years, and

Foreign Customs Disappear.

THE community life of our foreign col

lation has fallen OF over 100000 within
