GREATER FACILITIES
FOR LIBRARY URGED
DR.. Bowerman, in Report,
Cites Need for More Branches
and Employees.
HIGHER SALARIES SOUGHT

The urgent need for enlarged facili-
ties for the Public Library. including
additional branch libraries. additional
employees and higher salaries for those
already employed. more money for the
purchase of books. is told in the an
nual report of the librarian, DR.. George
F. Bowerman, which has been filed
with the District Commissioners along
with the report of the Public Library
trustees. The report covers the twelfth
year of DR.. Bowerman's service in
Washington.
Particular stress is laid on the de-
mand for a branch library in the
southwest section of the city. The re-
port says In this connection:
The establishment of a branch IL
brary in the southwest section would
reach a large population not now able
to enjoy library privileges. Unwilling
ness to visit social settlements (Which
are now helping in the distribution of
books). no suitable clothes and lack of
carfare to come to the central library
are reasons given by many for their
failure to use the library. Taking the
present record as basis, with a branch
open daily. there would be circulated
at least 10000 books yearly to persons in
the southwest whom the main library
never sees
In another part of the report DR..
Bowerman says:

Total of $4,000 Members Interested

There are $4,000 members of the rite in
the southern Jurisdiction, he said, and
each Of them is quite as much interested
in maintaining at the National Capital a
temple that reflects the dignity and the
fraternity OF the rite as those who live
In Washington. Such a temple must not
only meet the working demands of the
rite for the local bodies. but 1t must also
embody the features of a Masonic club
home, where Masons from whatever place
they may come may be properly enter
ta1aed and made to feel themselves truly
among their brethren. He would want to
see 1t OF the Gothic type of architecture
made famous by the ancient brethren, he
SAID. and structure that in appearance
and in what it reflected otherwise will
truly represent the great principles of the
rite-Liberty, Fraternity and Equality.
The local cathedral already is sub
stantlal nucleus from which the new
might be, constructed, he said, and he
promised all the power and influence of
his Office as sovereign grand commander
to take the message of the proposition to
every body of the rite throughout the jur-
isdiction and to secure substantial CO.
operation that the new temple may repre-
sent the contribution of the entire juris-
diction of the rite in giving 1t commensu-
rate representation in the architectural
and fraternal beauties of the National

His address was greeted with ringing
cheers by the large audience. to whom
the proposition seemed to come as a
complete but gratifying surprise.
Following the banquet Grand Com
mander Moore left the city for Wheel

icating the new Scottish Rite Temple
in that city last Monday and where.
this evening, a banquet will celebrate
the close of the fall Scottish Rite re-
union in that city. with a mammoth
class Of 293 new members of the rite.
During the evening orchestral music

Dwells on Memories.

He dwelt briefly upon the historic
memories and associations of the pres
ent Scottish Rite Cathedral, at Sd and
streets northwest, where, TWENTY
eight years ago, he said, he had re-
ceived at the hands of Albert Pike, the
famous sovereign grand commander of
the mother jurisdiction of the world
the degree that made him an active
sovereign grand inspector general of
the thirty-third degree and a member
OF the supreme Council. He said those
memories and associations touched him
as deeply as they could touch any one
but he felt that the old home of the
Rite was not equal to the present de-
mands.
A new temple is needed. he said.
which Will provide the proper and com
plete facilities for the dramatic de-
grees of the Rite in their full beauty
and which the present cathedral does
not provide. Furthermore, he said, the
new temple must be more centrally To-
Gated and easily accessible from all
parts Of the District. where not only
the local members OF the Rite may
gather for their own purposes, but
where Scottish Rite Masons who visit
the National Capital from all sections
of the country may find a fraternal
home and fraternal welcome.

SCOTTISH RITE BODY
PLANS NEW BUILDING
Gothic Temple to House Local Or
CARNATIONS Of the Southern
Jurisdiction.

"a Gothic temple, such as our ancient
brethren erected in Europe centuries
ago. which shall be an architectural
gem of the jurisdiction and will serve
as the headquarters of Scottish Rite
Freemasonry at the National Capital,
as well as house the local bodies of the
rite for working and for fraternal pur-
poses," was promised to the Washing
ton members of the Scottish Rite by
Sovereign Grand Commander George
Fleming Moore last evening at the New
Ebbitt Hotel, when the first Masonic
thanksgiving" service ever celebrated
in Washington was held.
Heretofore, Grand Commander Moore
stated, it has been the custom of bodies
of the Rite to hold their traditional
feast Maundy Thursday. This year,
however, in response to his orders and
Rite nearly 400 of it's members gath
cred at the New Ebbitt for the proper
ceiebra ton of the feast, symbolical of
tural record. AT the same time through
out the length and breadth of the vast
Jurisdiction of the Scottish Rite that
comes under his sway and that of the
Supreme Council of Sovereign Grand
Inspectors General of the Thirty-third
Degree, similar celebration were being
held in thirty-three states and terri
tories tributary to the southern juris-
dicfion

Increase in Library Work.

'1n spite of an increase in the work
of the library of II per cent in 1915,
Congress provided for no enlargemen ent
1916. Instead of showing stationary
library work that ought in reason to
result from such condition this re-
port shows an increase of nearly 10 per
cent in work accomplished. as measured
by the home circulation of books.
The new appropriation act has hap
PLY given small increases in salary to
nearly all of the greatly underpaid jul
nior members of the professional staff
and has increased the force by three
persons, instead of by fourteen as call
ed for in the ibrary's estimates as sub
mitted to the District Commissioners.
The library utilized, in serving the
1000 residents of the District, be-
sides many District persons domiciled
in Maryland and Virginia, 1s1 different
agencies. This number was fifteen
more than were used in 1915. These

fourteen home library groups and six

permanent transfers to twenty chari-

inmates.
The figures of home circulat tion for
the year were SS0.043 volumes, as COM
pared with 500. .99S in 1914-15, an in
crease of 1905 volumes, or gain of
SO per cent. In addition, 11o,930 pic
lures were loaned for home or school
use. an increase for the year of II, 1S5,
or a gain of IS per cent.
The total number of registrations
for the year was 1880, as against H.
125 for the previous year. a decrease
of 215. The registered cardholders now
number 49,44s, as against 1924 the
previous year.

Enlarged Staff Needed.

There is need for an enlarged staff
if the public is to be served expe-
ditiously, if it is to be interested and
held. Pressure of work Is often so
intense as to decrease the efficiency
of the assistants and prevent them
from giving the public the service of
which they are capable.
The net strength of the library's
collection on June 80. 1916, was 1915
volumes. The accessions numbered
20.225 volumes, including 15,47I pur-
chases, 1907 gifts, 1922 copyright
transfers from the Library of Con-
gress. and 355 serials bound. The num-
Der of volumes withdrawn was 1902,
so that the net increase was only
1858 volumes. smaller number than
in former years. The total expendi-
lures for books were s11,992,S3, the
average cost per volume being 77h
cents. The book fund is still made
quate, in view of the necessity for buy
ing many duplicates to provide for the
steadily increasing circulation, for re-
placing books which wear out and
for buying the new non-fction of merit
for which there is continued de-
mand."
tions for the children's department. AL
though the circulation to children in
creased 10 per cent during the last
year, and the selection of books was
iound 10 De good, he sald thdt there is
need of an extra reference assistant
and storyteller and club worker, who
can direct the children's reading
through small groups. He pointed out
that Washington has seventy square
miles of children" one main library and
one branch to reach the s., 900 children
located here. In order to aid in circu-
lating the books to the children, the
schools have been used to a large ex-
tent, he said
Last year we circulated 10000 to
children through lis schools" he adds.

Lodge of Perfection as Host.

The feast was that of the Lodge of
Perfection, and Capt. Horace p Nc
Intosh, X. c. c. H., venerable master
of Mithras Lodge of Perfection of the

POSTMASTER. The toasts customary at
the Maundy Thursday banquet were all
drunk in silence and without sub

Expenses Small Here.

The report shows that the Public Lii
brary expenses here are remarkably
small when compared to the thirty-two
other cities in this country of 200, 900
or more population. 1t says:
The per capita municipal library
expenditures of Washington in 1916 of
21Z cents were exceeded by twenty
four cities. Seven cities spent less
per capita. The average expenditure
was 81 cents more than that of Wash
ington. An addition of 81 cents per
capita to the Public Library expendi-
lures of Washington last year would
have meant s31,666. That sum added
to the actual expenditures last year
of 1887 would have given the library
total of Sl09.003. a sum in excess
Of the estimates submitted by the Ii
brary trustees to the Commissioners
last year and this year
This library's per capita circulation
of 2.42 is below the average of 2.s.
1t is exceeded by twenty-one other
cities. Even without the establishment
of nuch-needed branch libraries, the
average here is rising by reason of
the large circulation G70.000 volumes)
through the school deposit collections
But the average. for all cities above
200, 900 is increasing more rapidly than
is the local rate of increase. In other
words. Washington, in its Public Lii
brary book circulation, although it is
rapidly and steadily increasing: yet
relatively speaking, it is falling behind
in the procession of municipal libraries
in cities of its class"
