LIBRARY SECTION ON
CENTRAL south america

An innovation has been started at
the Institute Free Library by the IL
brarian. Arthur l. Bailey. in an effort
TO stimulate interest in works on
South and Central America. More than
forty selected books on the far South
have been placed at the northeast
corner OF the central distributing
desk. These books are not histories
but travelogues, and are chosen as
being among the best and most in
terestlng written in regard to the
southern countries. Such volumes
are included as THE Lower Amazon,
by LANCE; 1.-THE Continent Of Oppor-
tunity," by Clark; 1.-THE Panama
Gateway" by Bishop, and others
equally absorbing.
AS the books are placed they at
tract the notice Of nearly all visitors
to the library. Many persons like
such books but they do not know just
where TO look for them, nor do they
inquire. This reluctance about max
ing inquiries IS one that greatly wor-

Much routine work must be done, and

Suffrage for the noble women,

The suffrage that the men enjoy,
They only ask to share.

WASHINGTON HEIGHTS

Material Wants Numerous;

ASKS FOR CIVIC
AWAKENING THERE

IN Hanover Presbyterian Church
last evening the Rev. r. l.. Jackson
spoke upon Our Greatest Needs on
Washington Heights"
Among other things Mr. Jackson
said:
"Our greatest material need is a new
bridge on Washington street. The
present structure is inadequate to the
demands made upon it. II should be
either rebuilt or replaced and that as
soon as possible. Other needs, such
as paving. street crossings, illumina-
ton, increased school accOmmoda-
lions should not be lost sight of. They
are also imperative.
The people of Washington Heights
need to get back the civic spirit they
possessed a few years ago. They are
getting just like the other sections Of
the city. what some one has called
too fat to fight" Many OF US are
more interested in cashing dividends
and running automobiles than IN max
! ing the part of the town we live in
wholesome and handsome. The COM
munity is sadly suffering on account
of our Indifference to all interests
save our own.
"Religiously. many OF us are also
| greatly derelict. We are in the same
class with the society girl who said
| she attended church regularly-every

! the house killing time without qu6lm
/ OF conscience, when we should be in
] the house of God. BY our religious
Indifference we are conspiring to keep
the moral tone of the community well
toward the zero OOinf
The people of Washington Heights
are no more irreligious than the peo-
pie of any other part of the city, but
there Is plenty of room for improve
ment."
