President Wilson explicitly

killed American citizens, and
mutilated them in September,
1918. Yet on October 18th, 1912
less than month later, this
same President Wilson, through
his same Secretary OF state,
formally announced to Carran-
za's agent that it was his pleas
ure" to take the opportunity "or
extending recognition to the de
facto government of Mexico, OF
which General Venustiano Car
rama il the chief executive.
President Wilson thus recog-
nized the government which, his
own Secretary of State declares,
had been less than a month pre-
viously engaged in repeated
assaults upon Americans, and i'll

the government at whose head
was General CarranZa, who, less
than two months previously, on
August 2nd, 1915, had contempt

to any representations OF Presi-
dent Wilson on behalf of media

consideration would l permit in

SCHOOL LIBRARIAN
FILES HER REPORT
Has Had Busy Season Getting
Books In Shape---Money
Affairs

Cora NJ. Case, Salem public school IL
brarian, states in her report for the
last quarter that during the summer
she was busy returning books from the
grade schools to their places in the ed
ucational room at the public library,
taking an inventory for missing books,
and making needed repairs on all the
books. The last task she says occupied
the most of the time as it included a
of every book in the collection. She
washed seriously soiled books with soap
and water, erased pencil and ink marks
and removed large number from their
eases and recased them. Those of more
value and better condition that were
worn in the binding were sent to the
bindery
The first weeks of September, she
says were devoted to the preparation
of the seven hundred new books. This
process includes the opening of the
book, stamping, marking, and varnish-
ing the covers. The classroom libra
ries were selected, listed, and sent to
the schools by the first Tuesday the
schools were open for work.
In her record for the high school she
finds that 392 books were circulated
for home reading, the average in daily
circulation being So. The total attend
ance in the library was $50 and the av-
erage daily attendance l3S. The num-
Der of books borrowed from the IL
brary was 26, and from the state Ii
brary 80.
For the junior high schools she re-
cords that 40 books were placed in
the Washington junior high, 327 in the
Lincoln junior high, 302 in the Grant
junior high.
For the grade schools, the number of
books added and catalogued was CTS;
the total number of books sent out in
class room libraries 1922; number of
books issued from the public library
on teacher S cards was 81, and number
of pictures issued 26.
Her financial statement is as follows:
Balance on hand June /, 1916, $3.50;
received from the board of education
5000 and from fines $ll, making to-
tai of $36S.50 received. OF this fund,
$29l 03 was spent up to October ! for
salary, supplies, postage, expressage and
periodicals.
