Interesting Addresses in Library Insti-
tute-Frank c. Wilcox the Speaker
Wednesday Afternoon.

At the Tuesday morning session of
the library institute at Storrs, Mrs.
B. II. johnson gave instruction in
classification. The afternoon lecture
was given by Miss Hadiey on the sub
ject Reference Work and Reference
Books. She spoke first of two uses of
BOOKS consecutive reading, which
covers cultural and recreative reading,
and the use of books for definite in
formation, that is, reference work. She
quoted Mr.. Bostwick's definition of the
conventional reference book as a book
not for consecutive reading but for
consultation.
Reference work may be encouraged.
call for reference work in the small
library, the librarian may promote the
use of the library in this direction.
There are three points to consider in
the wor. the material, the public and
the librarian In considering the ma
rians should know thoroughly the
books on their shelves. In buying,
consider the industries Of the COM
nunity and the groups of people whom
the library should serve. Before pur-
chasing conventional works Of refer
ence. which are usually expensive, the
librarian of the small library should
consult some authority as to the value
of the work and its value for that par
ticular community.
The librarian should not do too
much Of the reference work for the
patrons. but should tudiciously help
them to help themselves. In Judging
reference books, consider editorship,
date, bibliographies, fuIIness Of entries
and indexing and cross references
Books which the local library does not
own may often be secured through
fnter-Hbrary loans. Much reference
work may be done with clippings from
newspapers and periodicals, II such
material is preserved.
The successful reference librarian
much know people and be able to Judge
quickly the character of the inquirers,
to distinguish at once the serious
reader from the superficial type. Bust
ness men should be encouraged to use
| the library and its resources should be
made known to them. Special en-
enlargement should be given to the
| Intellectually ambitious. and among
| this class may be found many OF our

1t is to be hoped that the movement
in favor of a state armory for Mt
Vernon under the guise of public
park and Fairgrounds will call atten-
ton of the community to the con-
stantly growing needs of public play
grounds and that they will be realized
Sin truth and in fact" Out Of the agi-
tation and effort expended in behalf
of the armory great good may re-
suit in calling attention to the condi-
.tion that exists in Mt. Vernon Of a
woeful lack of adequate parks or
grounds for the use of the children to
exercise their natural proclivities for
play and derive the benefit that
comes from such an exercise in the
making OF healthy children as fore
runner OF good citizens. Time was
when there were many vacant tracts
of land in every section Of Mt. Vernon
on which children were permitted to
disport themselves, but with the build
ing up of the city no such grounds
.. are now available. 1t Is true that the
west side of town has adequate
grounds for the children of that sec
ttion in Riverside park. but in the
north section, the east section and the
middle section vacant lots are no
longer available for the Riddles" 1t
is a deplorable condition and must
needs receive attention and be RENE
died. The streets at best are poor
places for children TO play and the
advent of the motor vehicles in such
large numbers in recent years has
rendered the streets dangerous for
children even In the sections of the
city in which traffic is light. In many
cities it is becoming the practice to
throw open the school yards. under
proper supervision. all the year
round for Fairgrounds, but they are
generally 80 small as to largely de-
feat the object of Fairgrounds. but
still they are better than none. The
time is ripe for steps being taken to
, establish adequate Fairgrounds In
convenient locations in Mt. Vernon,
and 1t is sincerely to be hoped that
the subterfuge employed TO secure
state armory will not in the future
operate against the establishment of
the much-needed playground for the
children, the interests and welfare of
whom should be in the hearts of az
citizens.

Child Life In Africa.

Child life in Africa has few pleasures

the time Of boys birth until he has
gone through the devil BUSH he is
little thought of, but as soon as he has
passed through Its terrible ordeals and
practices he Is regarded as man and

With girl It is different. 1t Is very
hard to procure girls for the mission
stations because they are considered
specially valuable as workers and pos
siblo money bringers until the period
arrives for them to enter and pass
through the "gree-gree" bush ordeal
Then they are regarded as women and
eligible for marriage, and their indus
trial value decreases. Still, II they
rear large families, their market value
keeps up in measure, for in certain
sections of Africa tribal custom per-

A prominent literary man would ac-

on the theory that war is too huge a
phenomenon to be exploited In a book.
That to cover big war adequately
with the methods of literary art IL a
4big contract must be admitted Mag
ara battles the painter because its
grandeur Is thing Of motion and

are Isolated from the general move

E trayed with satisfaction. but when the
sensation OF seeing It or reading about
II Is over there remains the question
-'"What was 1t all aboutf" and the an
swer Is difficult to convey by art.
Many writers have written ably on
war themes. using great persOnages to
keep up the interest. The idea which
the lay mind gets Of war Is Of some
thing always dramatic and terrible.
This Ii an error. War Is exceedingly
commonplace In the main. The strong.
dramatic spots are comparatively few.
SO. while 1t Is difficult TO build up mas
aterpieces on war material, II IL posi-.
