At the nDraFy lnStlItle dI EoUOITS Saturday morning, Miss fIadley gave instruction in cataloging.
 H. B. Hunttiqg Speaks.
 At the afternoon session H. B. Hunting of Springfield spoke on Book -bpying for Libraries He said that this matter is often neglected. Libraries dwell rather on arrange ment of books on the shelves and the methods of cataloging than on the books themselves.
 Much depends on the librarian. In some libraries a good class of books is read. Good books are purchased and their circulation is surprisingly large. In other libraries. the cry is that it is of no use to buy such books because patrons will not read them. The people of the United States have the reputation of reading as much as any people in the world, but they are not reading such a hign class of books as readers in England and Germany. In the latter country the workingmep read many books of high character, which are published at low prices. MT. Hunting said that he believed in libraries, but had to confess that few of them are doing educational work They are not teaching people what are the best books.
 For purposes of selection, books may be divided into two classes, standard bOOfAS dI1Q lN1tA C41I OOChSs He cL<AAASA- ard books have already been chosen by readers, and selecting them for a library is not difficult. Care must be taken in the selection of current books to get not only books, but good books for the particular library.
 The purchases of libraries average probably at least TO per cent. of cur rent fiction, much of which is not lit erature, Is low ip moral tone. and which there is no reason for purchas- ing except that the patrons demand them. In tax-supported libraries, this argument must hove some weight bus the smaller libraries should not be over-influenced by this consideration. When funds are small. the library cannot buy every thing; it must select, must buy tfRhe best and exclude the poor and mediocre.
 Librarians should bear in mind that once they are able to convince the public that good reading Is worth while, immediately the library rises as an influence in the town, and the position of librarian becomes a dig nifieds and respected one, with opper- tunities for doing good second to none in the community.
 This IMopday9 afternoon Miss Alice Shepard, assistant librarian, of Spring field, Mass, will lecture on The Li- brartanis Outlook.

SUMMER SCHOOL LECTURES.
Speakers and Their Topics at storr'
 During Saturdays Sessions.


 Payson Smith, state superintendent of schools in Maine, delivered a most interesting and profitable lecture Sat prday to the superintendents attend ing the summer normal school at StorFs, His subject was Some Essen tials of School Supervision. He said: For many years the schools got along without supervision. It is only re- gently that the need of supervision has been felt, and even now the status of sHpeFfnteRdents of schools is not yet fixed in some localities of New England.
 The superintendent of schools is @ ness functions for the board. The of- ace Is now beginning to crystailize Into something definite. There are many functions which a superinten- dent has to perform. Those interest cd in the reform of school systems have centered thetr hopes in super ytsion more than tn anything else. peRds. upon school supervision.
 School super1ntendeRts sometimes fail. There are some men who are net fitted for the efflee. They may lack good, sound business sensa The common practice of school commit tees Is to place business responsibility upon the superintendent. The snpeF- iptepdent in his expenditures must consider the appropriations.
 Sometimes a superintepdents is not 2 school man. He may fail to keep in touch with educational progress There may be inability on his part to meet the local situation, He may be unable to take and make a def- mite study of the school system with which he -fs4 concerned.
 There are various types of super intendents. Some are inclined to be autocratic. Then there is the super. intendert, who is merely the agent of the school board. Another type (contlnued on Page -Eisht).

 Hand Brakes Meant.
 President the Erie Railway,
 Clerhng was too tame for Frederick Douglass Underwood. He could see his finish as weigher of sugar and counter of eggs if he stuck to the country store so he applied for a job as brakeman and got 1t.
 He made good as a brakeman, as conductor, as trainmaster, division superintendent and again as general manager of a big system.
 When the Erie needed a level headed, quick-thinldng president the directors made oyertures to Under wood-the man who had worked his way up from freight cars with hand brakes.
 What MT. Underwood has done for { the Erie in a few years is simply an exempiifcation on a greater scale of what he has done since boyhood He has saved money, has made every dol lar invested count and has given the public the best there was in the box.
