sociation, spoke on the value Of CO.
operation and the necessity for real,
whole-hearted merging of interests.
Miss Charlotte Templeton of Lin
coin, secretary of the state library
commission, told of the war work Of
the American Library association. The
necessity for recreation books for
soldiers on transports, in camps and
in hospitals is only part of the work,
she said. The government has
found" said Miss Templeton, that
the efficiency OF the army is greatly
increased by supplying good text and
reference books so that ambitious
men can study the profession OF war,
including aerial work, navigation,
wireless telegraphy and kindred sub
lects, and it is on these reference
books and on quiet places in which
the men may study them that the
money asked for will be spent"

Wisconsin Library association, who
has been loaned to the government
as camp library Inspector and who
was in Omaha inspecting Libraries in
Fort Omaha and Fort Crook, gave a
short talk on the work the library
commission has been doing. Mr..

reference libraries have been estab-
lished besides 400 small libraries,
such as those at Fort Omaha and
Fort Crook.
