> THE SMALL PRIVATE =
= LIBRARY .e ~ " -
BY E.: J. Erwin,
University Of Mississippi

The real center of every university
is its library. For four years the stu
dent has had access to a great store
house Of information along scholarly
lines. He has possibly done a great
deal of research work in his various
courses, and has spent his spare hours
browsing among the great writer's of
the past and present. He has formed,
, no doubt, a genuine love for books and
| reading, which will remain as source
of pleasure when the more formal
work of the university shall have been
forgotten.
How shall the university student
carry on his reading after he leaves
the university? In the larger cities
the great public libraries offer to the
man of scholarly instincts the means
of reading along any lines he wishes
There is no need for a large private
library when the books may be Sc
cured from a much larger public col
lection just around the corner. In our
small towns and country districts the
reader is absolutely dependent upon
his own resources. Too often a gen.
uine love of literature is suffered to
/ die for the lack of books. The schol-
arly young principal Of the country
school gradually loses touch with the
broad field of knowledge, and narrows
into rut of arithmetic and grammar.
The young lawyer with genuine liter
airy tastes has nothing to fill his leis-
ure moments; and when tired of law
books, he has no resource but the
newspapers and magazines. The uni
versity graduate on his farm misses
for time the wealth of the literature
of the college, and gradually loses al
together his literary tastes.
The only solution for this isthe &C
emulation of small, but carefully
Iselected, collection of books. If the
university graduate could add to his
monthly budget the purchase of one
or two volumes, his library in short
time would reach satisfactory proper
!, tons. Although his shelves might no
groan under the calf-bound volumes
which composed the library of his
grandfather, he would still be the pos
, SCISSOR of the great works of literature
in good. servicable editions. Only {
small outlay would be necessary, TO
, there has never been a time when thu
best of books could be bought at 81
little expense. Any bookseller cal
