FORMER NORWICH MAN
ADDRESSED STUDENTS.
George 3. UtIey Spoke on Library
Work as q Vocation.

George B. Utley. formerly of Nor
wich, now OF Chicago, secretary of the
American Library association, address,
ed the students at Connecticut college
Tuesday morning ON the subject OF the
choice OF library work as a vocation.
Mr.. Utley recounted details of his per-
sonal experiences in selecting library
work as a vocation and went on to de-
scribe the tremendous force which
public libraries in the United States
have become within comparatively few
years. Public library equipment in the
United States now aggregates about
100000. 900, but the services of library
workers has never been estimated The
work Is growing and changing con-
tinually and within the past 20 years
Mr.. Utley said, so that librarians find
difficulty in keeping up with the es-
sential new phases.
Mr.. Utley briefly described the diff
ferent branches of library work. such
as that of the reference librarian. who
must have some particular aptitude
for searching out material on given
subjects. and that of the municipal or
Legislative librarian, who obtains in
formation for lawmakers, municipal,
state and federal. The work Of the
circulation department is more, he said
than simply charging books and pass
ing them over the desk. but carried
the responsibility of influencing the
minds OF the readers and diverting
them into channels of helpful reading.
Mr.. Utley then told about the prom
inent part which women are playing in
library work. In 1853. when the first
convention Of librarians was held, not
one woman was present. Twenty
three years later, at the next conven-
ton, 90 women were present. Today
women form two-tilirds OF the library
workers of the United States. Fred
erick Edgerton, librarian OF the New
London public library. was present
and made a few remarks concerning
the willing cooperation which the IL
brary wished to extend to the college

shifted to the outside and have a shed
built over it, the cost of which is es-
tmated at $500.
1t is figured that the cost of remov-
ing the present boilers would be ap-
proximately $500 and the foundation
for the new boilers would cost about
$500.
The working pressure Of the old
boilers is 1876 pounds. That of the new
boilers is $50 pounds which means
that new steam line will be neces-
sary, and while the change is being
made it is considered advisable to put
in a duplicate line so that either OF

mean about $3.50.

condition it has been necessary to re-

The intention was to replace them

nearest size to that which the Heiney
company which submitted the lowest

The question naturally rose about
Christianity at the front and this
priest told The Sun correspondent
that he has been surprised beyond
words how widespread and sincere is
the religious spirit among the men.
AT first thought" he said, ut struck
me that in this horrible war Of daily
killing the mems religious sense would
be blunted, that constant familiarity
with death would not only rob them
of it's terrors, but also eliminate their
religiosity.
Il was gratified to find the true con-
dition different. Their religious fibre
has broadened. Men who for years
have been Catholics only il name take
every opportunity of hearing mass and
going to confession and communion.

THE IRISH RACE CONVEN,
TON.


We are anxious to see just what
will be the result of the so-called
Irish Race Convention to be held
in New York on March 4 and 5.
According to the published list
we are told that there are about
500 signatories. The object of
the convention seems to be the de-
mand that when peace terms are
being discussed at the end Of the
war, ireland be given Il place in
the sun. Other objects of the
convention are to consider first,
how best the Irish Race should
act i'll America, so that the teach
ing and practices of Washington,
Jefferson, jackson and Lincoln
may continue to prevail in this
country; second, how best to pre-
serve for Ireland the remnant of
her manhood; third, how best to
combat the influences which mis-
represent America to Ireland and
Ireland to America.
While these objects are vast
and important, and whilst the
last three may be fit subjects
for public discussion, we think it
entirely out Of place and incon-
sistent with our so-called neutral
ity to inject into the European
discussion any claims arising in
this country and not directly
connected with this country. We
do not think it the part Of Irish
Americans or German-Americans
or Americans of any other for
eign descent to make use of the
Aegis of American liberty as a
shield against or a provocative
of foreign complications. Whilst
this opinion may be personal we
notice from our Catholic ex-
changes throughout the country
that a large number Of prominent
men whose names appear on the
list of the 500 have deprecated
the ideas embodied in the call,
and i'll a sense have repudiated
the whole affair. Thus for ex-
ample, Very Reverend DIR. Cavan-
augh, President Of Notre Dame
University, wrote that he had
signed the call under q misappre-
hension of it's real nature, adding,
81 never intended to commit my
self to that document or any part
of it." Likewise former Con
gresham Michael Donohue of
Philadelphia, and others have
written at length expressing the
opinion that such a convention at
this time is 'unwarranted, i'll.

NOTRE DAME Library
NOW UNDER WAY
BEDFORD CONSTRUCTION CON-
PANY OF INDIANAPOLIS GIVEN
CONTRACT FOR ERECTION OF
THE NEW UNIVERSITY BUILD.
ING.

With the excavation completed and
the contracts for the construction
work, totaling in all over 100000, let
this week, work will begin in the next
few days on the actual erection of
the new quarter of a million dollar
Notre Dame Library. The contract
for the erection of the building was
awarded to the Bedford Stone and
Construction Company, of Indianapo-
lis.
The new library, which will be one
of the finest and largest college Ii
braries in the country, will have a
capacity of over 100000 volumes.
Some idea of it's size may be gained
from the fact that it's book stacks
alone when completed will cost over
q hundred thousand dollars. All of
these will not be installed at first, how
ever. University, electrical engineer
ing students will assist in the work
of installing the wonderful lighting
system, which will be one of the most
important features of the new build
ing.
Architect e. L. TiltOn of New York,
will have charge of the construction
of the building. Although he has
planned and built over sixty of the
finest libraries in the country, Mr. Til
ton declares that the local library is
one of his best jobs.
