LIBRARY ANNEX IN
capitol DOME AREA

If you Lave the least doubt of the
imperative need of more room for the
Maine State library and if you doubt
that Library building or new and
adequate quarters are needed. just
visit that important and growing par!
of the State organization at the Stat 2
Capitol and see how every nook and
corner is being utilized for it's wants.
The latest make shift" devised by
State Library Henry E. Dunnack and
Supt. Of Buildings G. S. Brown is to
find quarters for part of the library
away up in the air. in the area be-
tween the outer ard inner walls Of
the dome. 1t is out of the way, ac-
cessible only by narrow and winding
stairs, but is the only place left in the
State House and the ingenious man
ner in which the space is being used
will please you.
When the location was decided on,
Supt. Brown and Librarian Dunnack
enlisted the services of Assistant En-
gineer VIM. NJ. Black of the Public
Utilities Commission. who drew plans
for the Library annex. That he did
good job is apparent when you see
how practically waste space is now
flied with bookracks and cases, which
will soon be filled to overlooking,
without much diminishing the huge
number sill in the way in the library
proper.
The work is being done by Supt.
Browns force, in charge Of the State
House carpenter. Clarence NJ. Pierce,
and done without extra time or extra
help.
Going Up one fight Of the circular
stairs, the first landing will show you

wall that no fat man need attempt
passage around it. They stand Is

shelves. with the room about 20 feet
high. Books here are as thick as the
shelves will hold.
Proceed another fight. to the level
Of the first gallery of the dome and
you enter the newspaper room. Tha
bound files of Maine newspapers have
never had decent quarters. but this is
a very respectable place. The floor
space is about 100 feet long and II
feet high. Eleven stacks are being
erected now, with room for many
more. Each stack contains s. shelves
and each shelf is designed for two
bound volumes of a newspaper. so

Mothers Aid

Commenting upon the law providing
aid from the State for mothers with
dependent children. Secretary James +.
Baxley of the State Board Of Mothers
Aid says:
"Only two changes Of any importance
are necessary.
First, the maximum age Of the chill
dren should be Is instead Of II years.
Aid must not cease. il needed, until the
child reaches the age when 1t cap,
under the child labor and compulsory
education law. be allowed to 60 to
work. This Is self-evident.
Second, the amount Of aid per child
or to any one family should not be lin
tied by law. The need Of the family is
paramount, then the ability and gen
eral standards of the community must
be considered. Some families require
much, some little, depending altogether
upon the age and health Of the children
and the mother, the earning powers OF
the family and the other available
sources Of income and assistance and
the community in which the family
must live.
Many cases cannot live on the pres
emit allowance. 1t is so small as to
seem absurd under some circumstances.
In addition they must have 'pauper"
supplies in order to live. Clearly the
intent of the law, which says :list
neither the mother nor her children
shall be deemed paupers by receiving
this aid, was to keep them off the pad
per list as we'll as to keep the family
together The combined judgment Of
the State board and the municipal
board concerned in given case,
coupled with the amount Of money aD-
propriated by the Legislature. can
surely be depended upon to keep within
reasonable bounds the aid allowed IN
every case.
The appropriations for the ensuing
two years must necessarily be IN
creased under the present statutes 10
cases. The removal of the limit will
also increase the amount Of money re-
quired to a certain extent. The prob
able result will be to make necessary
an appropriation of 100000 instead If
SIS. 10000 per annum.
New Assistant Supervisor
Miss Elizabeth Leslie of Dexter has
been elected by the state Board Ct
Charities and Corrections AS assistant
supervisor of Mothers Aid and chill
dren's work and will assume her new
duties on Dec. l. Miss Leslie is at
present agent for the protection Of
children in Penobscot county. Her e.
ficient work in that poSition reSulteJ in

ant supervisor. Her resignation as

cepted by the Governor and Council as
