Important work along reconstruc-
ton lines is waiting to be done by the
Public Library Of district Of Co
lumbia, which institution is. in eff
feet, al part of the educational system
of the District, carrying forward, am
plifying and supplementing the re-
suits of the work of the schools and
high schools. But unless there shall
be- a change in the appropriation policy
of Congress toward the District in gen.
eral this important agency must nee
essari1y pass up this great oppor-
tunity, much as it would like to en-
brace 1t.
This fact becomes apparent after a
brief survey of conditions in the IL
brary's training class work. The
whole matter in nutshell is this:
Low and inadequate salaries paid the
assistants in the library. following
the completion of their training
course work. have brought this work
practically to a standstill. The head

Salary Did Not Appeal.

One prospective applicant who ad-
mitted she had only high school ed
ucatfon, appeared much interested.
When told that the salary paid be-
ginners was $3.50, she replied:
That doesn't hold out much induce
ment. I am getting $1,000 now"
One of the welfare workers through
whom the hoped-for class was given
publicity, and who came into contact
with a large number of woman war
workers about to be demobilized. said
she had talked with a good many Of
the latter. but that she herself could
not see how they were going to live
on the salary even II. by any means,
they could tide themselves through
the period Of training.
Here is the result Of another inter-
view, and in the interviews effort
and time were given unstintedly to
bring out all the advantages Of IL
brary work. Of the desirabi1ity of res
idence in Washington. of the fact
that the course was FREQ and was q
good Investment against the time
when the opportunities for work for
women without special training
would not be as great as at present.
This young woman, after all the mat
ter had been placed before her, said:
well. I am getting $1,000 now. and
if I stay three months moro I will
get $500. It doesn't look to me as

Reduced to Matter Of Finance.

I'm each case 1t reduced itself to
matter of financial consideration. All
the enthusiasm in the world for pro-
fession which has very much to offer
in the way of interest and in the sat
isfaction of doing something worth
doing will not pay board bills. and
$3.50 cannot be stretched to cover liv-
ing expenses in washington at this

DR.. Bowerman ard those associated
with him think it ought not to be
really necessary to have these train
ing classes at all Libraries in other
municipalities are enabled to hire help
already thoroughly trained elsewhere:

employees in shoals a. their I period .S OF

Effort to Enroll Glass Fails.

Here are the results of the recent
attempt to enroll class to start in
the first day of 1919: 1t was adver-
tised in every possible way. A large
advertisement ran five times in one OF
the newspapers. News items were used
by all local papers. Notices were posted
on the library bulletin boards. Circular
letters, containing full information were
sent to nineteen government welfare
workers. Appointment clerks and the
employment bureau Of the Department
of Labor were interviewed and in
terested. Talks were given to three
different clubs of woman war workers.
All this seemed enough publicity to
recruit a class of from twelve to
fifteen, which was the number want
ed.
Row for results: Questions asked
at the library have ELECTED the in
formation that inquirers f1ocked into
the Office, sometimes from twenty to
thirty waiting for information at one
time. By actual count 249 persons
took away circulars giving details.
Twelve filed applications.
Eight took the examination.
One qualified.
What's the answer? The salary
scale. a
This was ascertained by interviews
with many Of those who. after all,
found it impossible to take the course.
It wasn't the hours or the character
Of the labor. It was altogether mat
ter that, after the six months OF nee
essary training should have been COM
pleted, the salaries were inadequate
to live on.

selves by the thought that it was. the
war and the attendant high pay of
war workers that was temporarily
initiating against successful classes.
or. in fact. any sort of classes at all.
Now the war is over. War workers
with library training see an oppor-
tunity to re-enter their chosen work
and to do it here. where general ad-
vantages are SO manifold. But the
other cities, those whose libraries are
SO situated financially that they can
pay them adequately, are getting
them and will, l fear, continue to get
them.
"a young woman recently looked
over the circular Of information and
returned it to me, with the comment:
for higher qualifications. have sitter
examinations, require more training
and offer less in the way of returns
than anything I know of, except,
perhaps, rural school teaching. The
library pay is not more than half
that of any other place in Washing
ton
"a person connected with the fed
eral employment bureau" continued
DIR. Bowerman, showed me the ap-
plication of a person apparently well
qualified by education and natural
endowments for library work, all
though she had not had any actual
training. She stated the minimum
salary she could accept was $1.400.
Would it be possible for you to offer
her 81 1000? I was asked.
Now, of the fifty-five persons on
the professional staff of this library.
only nine are receiving $1,000 or
more. and those only after several
years training and experience. An
other girl said she had small prf-
waite income and would. therefore.
take 5000, but was told that thirty
nine members of our professional and
clerical staff, or nearly three-fourths
of the entire number, received less
than 5000 each.
Another young woman. who had a
college education. said: I have al
ways wanted to take up library work.

opportunity for civic service during
the reconstruction period makes "a
