The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1916-08-09

New York. Aug. 9.-Whether
the threatened strike Of the 4oo,-
600 railroad employees will be
avoided through federal media
ton, depends this afternoon upon
whether the brotherhoods will ac-
cept the services of the Federal
Mediation Board.
The railroad managers, after
announcing the. rejection Of the
mems demands, proposed federal
mediation. The brotherhoods re-
fused to join the appeal to the
board, saying that they believed
that more satisfactory settle
ment would be reached by dealing
directly with the roads.
The railroads then appealed In
dividuaIly to the federal board
now sitting here.
The board has offered us serv-
ices to the brotherhoods, and is
awaiting reply. Indications are
that the brotherhoods will accept
although they are not joining u
the appeal for mediation.

The Library and the Schools.

The Public Library was established as
supplement to the local educational
system. and il is especially desirable
that the closest relationship be estab-
iished between it and the public schools.
1t is to this end that recommendation
has been made by Librarian Bowerman
to the board of education that provision
be made in the school buildings for
branch libraries, especially in the de
signing of new buildings. Up to re-
cent period the public school buildings
have been designed with the view OF ac
comm odating the largest possible NUM-
Der of children. Every available square
foot of space has been turned into the
classroom. Experience has shown. how
ever. that the ideal school building
should be more literally planned, and
that rooms should be provided for other
than mere classroom work. Every school
building, no matter what the grade.
should have library room, a place
where the children can read if they
wish, but certainly where they can OBJ
tain with the greatest facility books
from the general stock of the Public
Library.
The board OF education takes the mat
ter under adyisement. There will be
no legal obstacle in the way Of de
votion of part of the school space to
this use if the law creating the Public
Library as a branch of the public edu-
cational system is taken into account,
This matter has been referred to the
corporation counsel for an opinion.
Meanwhile, the board should consider the
great advantage Of having the library
brought to the pupils instead of requr-
ing the pupils TO go to the library. Chill
dren who live at q distance from the
central library have little chance ever
to reach it. Obviously in the interest
of time economy and more efficient dis
tribution of books the maintenance Of
branches in the schools is required. The
value Of the library 20 the District
through its service OF the children viii
be greatly increased by the adoption Of
this policy OF devoting rooms i'll the
school buildings for book distribution.
