Libraries for the Masses

Tn view of the campaign for $50,000 to be inaugurated in few days by the library board in behalf of the Bir- mingham public library system" said q well known library enthusiast yester- day, q was interested today in notic- ing in a book an excerpt from an ad- dress by Andrew Carnegie giving the great philanthropist's reasons for es- tablishing libraries.
 "Carnegie's fame has probably spread throughout the civilized world as a
 founder of libraries. There are few cities of any size in this country which cannot boast Carnegie library or a library which MT. Carnegie very ma terially helped to build. The great steel magnet has invested millions of doi-
 lars, it is said. in these institutions. Or rather he has not invested it, for he hopes for no material returns from the expenditure. Therefore when l saw the reasons of a man of Carnegie's sa- gacity, business sense and general abil- |ity for placing so much of his money and giving so much of his time to founding and endowing public library systems I considered them of great inn portance and I'd like to submit this much of his statement to the people of Birmingham. MT. Carnegie says:
 CT choose free libraries as the best agencies for improving the masses of the people, because they give nothing for nothing. They only help those who help themselves. They never .pauperize. They reach the aspiring, and open to these the chief treasures of the world those stored up in books. A taste for reading drives out lower tastes
 Besides this. I believe good fiction one of the most beneficial reliefs to the lmonotonous lives of the poor. For these and other reasons l prefer the free

OHIO PICKED TO WIN MEET.

COLUMBUS, May, 23.-The annual
Big Six track meet among the Ohio
colleges was held this afternoon, with
greater number of entries than ever
before. Preliminiaries in several OF
the events were run Friday and this
morning on Ohio field.
Ohio State is generally conceded
first place in the Big Six, but other
coaches predicted that the men under
Coach Castleman will not roll up as
high score as last year. A number
of stars who probably will scatter the
points are entered from smaller
schools, and these men are expected
to win a number of places that last
year went to the Ohio State team.
o. S. U. team expects to take first
place in the pole vault, the shot put,
the hammer throw, the discus and the
long distance events. The State relay
team is also expected by Coach Castle
man to win that event. Miami, Denni-
son, Oberlin and Cincinnati teams are
expected to spring some surprises, and
several records are threatened.

LONDON, May 23.-Empire Day, the

falling on a Sunday this year, British
ers generally celebrated the anniver-

numerous patriotic gatherings arrang-
ed. In Hyde Park there was mon
ster parade Of Boy Scouts, cadets and
boys brigades. Field Marshall Earl
Roberts taking the salute while num-
erous famous soldiers and politicians
were present.
This year the organising committee
of the League of the Empire was start
led to receive an ultimatum from the
boys hrigades that they could not at
tend if the various girls societies
were invited, and despite efforts to
smoothe over the difficulty, the boys
remained firm and the girls had to
hold separate parade.
The boys leaders were of the opin-
ion that the presence of girl SEQ
and other girl corps laid the move
ment open to redicule Jealous
said the girls, but to no
avail.
