LIBRARIANS END MEETING.
Addresses Mt Final Session by Miss
Hunt and DR.. Abernethy.

One Of the most successful annual
meetings Of the Vermont Library associa-
tion and Of the Vermont Free Public
Library commission came to close Fri
day noon, after a day and halls
session at the Billings library Fri
days meeting was under the auspices OF
the Vermont Free Public Library com
mission and was presided over by
Professor 8. + Emerson of the Uni
versty Of Vermont. chairman Of thu
commission. Mss Clara Hunt OF the
Brooklyn Public library gave delight
full and insprational address on Library
Work for Children" Miss Hunt has had
many years experience In this work and
her address proved most interesting TO
her listeners and contained many valuable
suggestions for the better development
of this phase of library work. DR.. j. W.
Abernethy delivered an address on Com
parative Value Of Classical and Current
Literature for School and Library In
scholarly discussion of his subject, Dr.
Aberncthy said ITO attempt to establish
an equation of values between classical
end current literature is to reverse th3
processes of thinking about literature
that have been habitual for thousand
| years. The contrast Of Shakespeare anu
Bernard Shaw. the speaker said, was \
contrast between the incalculable rich
ness Of classic literature and the reckless.
| uprto-date sensational smartness OF cur
rent literature DIR. Abernethy scored
severely the use of current literature in
the schools to-day, and said that when we
make n young person acquainted with a
great classic, we shed over his spirit the
| glow of n rare and beautiful intelligence.
After the adoption of set of resolu-
lions, presented by Miss r. r. Fletcher
OF Proctorsville, the meeting took final
adjournment. The place of next years
meeting will be decided by the executive
committee later in the year, several
towns and cities having extended invita-.
lions to the association.

LINERS CAPTAIN
PARTLY TO BLAME
ZigZag Course For Lusitania
Would Probably Have
Avoided Horror.

LONDON. June 1S.-The public in.
quiry into the sinking Of the steamship
Lusitania by a German submarine was
ended yesterday. A short session in
camera will be held today to take fur.
Their evidence as to whether Captain
Turner observed fully the admiralty's
warnings, but none of this will be
made public.
When the attorneys connected with
the case were asked for their opinions
this afternoon, A. C. Edwards, N. P,
representing the Seamen's Union, said
1t was obvious that il a ZigZagging
course was an element Of safety, as an
admiralty expert had testified, then
the captain and owners OF the steam
er showed grave culpabiIity."
Had it anything to do with the ca.
lamtty?" asked Baron Mersey.
Mr.. Edwards replied that the evi.
dence disclosed the company was econ
omizing in the consumption Of coal.
As Captain Turner was holding the
ship to a straight course at a speed
Of IS knots. he said, it was easy for a
submarine to take its proper position,
whereas If the vessel had been zigzag.
ging it would have been difficult, if
not impossible, to tell where the ship
would pass.

Money is Needed

Der Of Commerce, Mr.. Tusca Morris
and Mr.. Thos. l. Brett and your peo-
pie as a whole for the courtesy ex-
tended while viewing your county
roads. l want to congratulate you
and your county court and all persons
interested in your road movement.
Il want to say further that ! think
your movement to raise an additional
100000 to complete the roads under
contemplation and TO widen them to
the necessary width to take care Of
the traffic is a wise decision. 1t
would be fales economy to construct
narrow roads within your district, and
within what will o o be a part OF
your city. I personally favor in
sparsely settled and rural districts a
narrow road because it will serve the
purpose and give more miles for the
money, but in your district your de.
mands will be such that the narrow
roads will be inadequate in many in
stances. Therefore. I think it, after
having carefully investigated your
proposition, it would be a wise move
to make the roads Of proper width.
Il feel that the widths proposed by
your city engineer in ase the bond
issue carries on the 21st, will be able
to take are Of your needs for a good
many years.
y also wish to call your attention
