Parliament Opens, BuiIdinus searehe


King George opened the seventh
session of the second parliament OF
his reign, Feb. z. His beefeaters
searched all the cellars, vaults, and
secret places at Westminster 10 make
sure there We're no innitators of Guy
Fawkes conspiring in 'gunpowder,
treason, and plot"
This search took place at a. m.
just as II has been done for more than
800 years. A squad of gray-hearded
veterans, clad in picturesque scarlet
and gold costumes OF the times OF
Elizabeth, armed with ancient halberds
and lanterns, nosed about with very
solemn look. For the king and queen
could not come to parliament till the
place had been secure against lurking
assassins, spies. bomb artists, suffra-
gettes, or experts with poison gas
tanks.
When the yeomen Of the guard bad
reported to the sergeant-at-arms Of
search had failed to find any perilS,
this information was sent with cere-
mony to Buckingham palace and the
king and queen prepared for their
journey. ~ .rrr a4
The king did not wear his gorgeous
field marshaps dress uniform, but ap-
peared in khaki. They rode in the
state coach as usual. but 1T was drawn
by six black horses instead of the
eight cream colored Hanoverians
King George, in his speech from the
throne, said that England and her
allies are still unanimous to secure
PREPARATION and restitution for the past.
and no threats Of further outrages"
can alter their minds. He claimed
that Germany's recent peace offer
had in 1t no possible peace basis and
that the war must go on to the finish"
No very important law making is
expected before Easter. as at the last
session gave new vote of credit for
400.000,000 pounds $4,000, 900, 000).
But after Easter the government will
present the new tax budget in which
rev devices for raising money will be
presented.
One large matter for this session is
the general election bill. Under an
ancient statute no parliament can live
longer than seven years. Unless this
is changed general election must
be held next fall. Army officers do
not wish the soldiers to be asked to
neglect the war to take part In the
election. So another precedent may
be broken and the present parliament
allowed to live till the end of the
war.

LIBRARY PUBLICITY

That library publicity is an essential
part Of library work is the declaration
of DR.. ]. d. wolcott. librarian of the
Bureau of Education Of the Depart
ment OF the Interior. 'Tn order to
bring the reader and the book to-
gether,' declares DR.. Wolcott, ut Is
necessary to make known to the COM
nunity the resources of the library
and the services which 1t Is prepared
to render as a public institution. The
American Library association has
given official attention to the subject
of library publicity since 1905, when a
committee on library publicity APP
pointed by the association outlined a.
program for action. The committee
has been renewed from time to time
since that year, and has continued to
study the problem. To the commit
tee on publicity for 1916 the executive
board of the American Library aGso-
citation referred all previous American
Library association reports on the
subject of publicity, and also instruct
ed the committee to study out and re-
port a comprehensive publicity plan
for the American Library association,
the State Library associations and
commissions. and local Libraries.
"A number of libraries have been
conspicuous for effective publicity work
during the past year. The library
committee of the Toledo (Ohio) Com
mercial club designated the period Of
seven days beginning; March /, 1916,
as a library publicity week, during
which the uses of the public library
should be brought in every practicable
way to the, general notice of the citi-
zens. The undertaking was officially
recognized by proclamation OF the
mayor of Toledo. During the week
articles and advertisements about the
library appeared each day in the local
newspapers. Appropriate cards and
other library material were displayed
in show windows in various parts of
the city, and the street cars carried
posters relating to the library. Similar

HOW WOULD WASHINGTON THINK ToDAYY

George Washngons warning in his famous farewell address,
against ntangng alliances for the United States has
brought forward Of the chief arguments against
President Wilson unite with other
grand alliance for the of ending method of
settling international disputes
This argument brings up the old question:
in applying the wisdom Of the past, the problems Of the
present?
George Washington laying unaterable and
everlasting dctum for the guidance of the nation he did much
establish when he made that statement He modest
but above all he of the keens intelligence and he him
self did hesitate to break loose from the wisdom and precedent
of the past.
The nation respects the memory Of the fathers who
built wisely and well the foundations upon which this mighty
nation has been reared But the fathers themselves would be the
last to hold the nation to foundation which has been out
grown.
United of become wealthiest
the greatest nation of the globe live longer it's spe
did isolation and George Washington whose natal day being
celebrated today would the future develop
Of that nation merely for preconceved notion if he
alive today and could voice his opinion.

posters were placed in many Of the
large factories. Other methods Of
advertising employed were the
distribution of folders and the in
closure of slips regarding the library
in 10000 laundry packages. After
listening to library talks at the
schools, the pupils were taken on
visits to the public library and its re-
sources explained to them. A result
increase in the number OF registered
borrowers and of books lent from the
public library.
"A similar campaign for the es-
Enlistment of business department
in the public library was carried on in
st. Paul in June, 1915, by the Town
Criers, an association of local
advertising men. On June IL, which
was recognized by proclamation of the
mayor as Town Criers' library day, a
special library edition Of The St. Paul
Daily News was issued and circulated
In July a business mems library CEN
trally located in q store was opened
to the public by the city library, and
means have since been taken by the
Town Criers and other organisations
Of business men to bring the services
Of this library to the attention OF those
interested.

public library books were frequently
advertised through window displays.
This method of publicity was first
tried by the larger libraries of the
state and is now being adopted by
those Of the smaller communities. For
the most part, merchants windows on
the main streets are borrowed for this
purpose, since few libraries have suit
able windows in their own buildings.
It is reported that these window dis
plays bring good results when made
by libraries"
