INSPECT SCALES
Another duty somewhat foreign to

nothing is so important as an efficient
of scales. Official scale in
spectors have tester hundreds of coun-
ter, platform and wagon scales and
fully SO per cent of the scales inspect
ed have been found inaccurate and
many OF them condemned. It Is a
deplorable fact that the legislature
made no appropriation for carrying on
this most important work. The bu-
reau is limited in its activities along
this line and although as much a. pos
sible will be done to make weights
and measures honest the public will
have to be content with limited SER
vice until the meeting of another legis-
lature. at which date an appropria-
ton will no doubt be made which will
make it possible to raise the standard
of Idaho weights and measures and
make it possible for everyone to re-
ceive a proper weight and measure
when buying or selling.

TRAVELLING. LIBRARY J.
NOW 20 YEARS OLD;
SHOWS BIG GROWTH
WORK OF THE STATE
TRAVELLING LIBRARY
BY MARGARET $. ROBERTS
State Travelling Librarian


Almost 20 years ago the advance
guard of higher education in Idaho
the women of the Columbian club
brought into existence the travelling
library system, which has been from
the beginning and continues To be q
boon to the citizens of Idaho.
This was some time before the trav-
cling library was maintained by an
appropriation from the state, and this
was the time when mining companies
and public spirited citizens gave their
checks to make these libraries aces
sible to every citizen in our young COM
monwealth.
Many OF those interested i'm the trav-
cling library at this time will no doubt
enjoy CHANGING over some of the early
history of this state institution.
HISTORY OF SYSTEM
Following is the first announcement
that was sent out to all the towns in
the state:
The Columbian club has number
of free travelling libraries which IL can
send to library associations in towns
and smaller communities where no
books are in circulation Each library
contains between 40 and 80 volumes.
1t will remain in a community three
months and will then be replaced by
another. To secure the visits OF these
libraries, the people Of the community
must first organize a library associa-
ton, which will include at least three
taxpayers. They must choose a secre-
tary who shall act as their agent with
the undersigned club committee, who
shall be authorized to receive the L.
braries and at the end of three months
either forward them to the next library
station or return them to Boise, as this
committee shall reuueSt.
will probably have more APP
plications than libraries In the begin
ming. In this case the communities
which make the strongest efforts to
deserve the preference shall have IL, 80
much depends upon cooperation the
collectors can only promise to fulfill
their part OF the contract as fast as
funds are provided. The club stands
committed to this work and aims to
extend these library privileges sooner
or later to every community making
in dine form. No amount Of
on the part Of collectors
can outweigh Indifference ON the mart
of those to whom these books are sent
In view Of this fact the commitfee
would urge the Importance Of choosinr
the right people a. local officers /.

! cleaning and rendering sanitary of
every book before 1t Is sent to another
station, makes great amount OF work
which machines cannot perform, and
/ will require an increase of staff to
keep up with demands from the field.
/ ! here is at this time 24.127 books
/ in The libracy: 200 cases, which are
sent out upon application to any town
or community in the state. This APP
/ plication must be signed by six tax
payers and be on file in the office be-
/ fore cases are sent. These cases are
sent freight prepaid.
There are at this time 24,127 books
contain so books each, 10 fiction, Is
juvenile, 20 miscellaneous; II special
cases, three art. economies, music, ag-
! ricultural. and number of other spec
ial cases
Four years ago single loan shelf
was created by which any citizen of
the state can, by writing or calling in
person borrow any book for period
of two weeks, with the privilege Of re-
newing, and paying the postage both
ways. This single loan shelf has grown
so rapidly that it has become depart
ment of its own. Daily there are a
number of books ,sent out on various
subjects and 1t Is almost impossible to
answer letters asking for information
In the last six months small room
has been made into a reference room
for everyone especially teachers. and
many times this room is filled to it's
capacity with children and grownups.
NO TRAVELLING MONEY
Unfortunately the legislature failed
TO make an appropriation for travelling
expenses. This has greatly hampered
and hurt the work of the library, as
there are SO many calls from small
towns for assistance along library lines
and experience has demonstrated that
aside from the Importance of the prac-
teal assistance, personal contact means
much, and cooperation means growth
and development. DEVELOPMENT and
growth In any state means better cit
liens.
1t - Interesting to note that in three
months there have been about 500 vis-
itors. not to mention the regular bor-
rowers. Which average about Is or 20
day. ytsitors from nix states ha1aD

Mrs. j. III. Barton, Mrs. George +. Red :
way. Mrs. E. J. Dockery, Mrs. d. M.
Steen. The rules governing the travel
ing library were so clearly and concise
ly written and covered the ground so
thoroughly that there has been but lit
tie change in them in the 20 years OF
the library's existence.
One of the first library cases was the
gift of the Trade Dollar" Consolidated
company of Silver City. A letter dat
ed Aug. 1. 1900 from Joseph Hutchin-
son. manager of the company, to Mrs
5. II. Hays. at that time president OF
the Columbian club. expresses his ap-
probation in the following words:
Please express my delight and ap-
probation of Library No y. The men
are well pleased with the books, and
1t is certainly very kind to advertise
1t as the gift of the Trade Dollar
STILL AT WORK
This case is still doing service over
the state. sc
Among the stations that applied as
early as 1899 were Salubria, Weiser.
Payette, Star, Haley. Middleton, AL
bion, Mountain Home, Malad, Council.
Salmon. Shoshone and a number of
others.
The educational committee of the
Columbian club continued in this great
work until IT was thought advisable to
ask the legislature to create a library
commission, and to secure an appro-
priation for Its maintenance. As a re-
suit of their efforts the commission
was created In 1909. the Columbian
club presenting to the commission 500
volumes.
EXPENSE SMALL
Idaho from that time has witnessed
large expansion of library activities
In all fields, for In no way can good
reading be furnished to the citizens of
= state with SO little expense as through
libraries. as the sole aim and
object of the library commission Is to
reach every book needy individual In
the boundaries Of the state
Unfortunately for the advancement
Of the travelling library the appropria-
ton has remained practically the same |
for over 10 years. For six years, the
work was carried on by one librarian
and In the past eight years by the ~
brarian and one assistant, while the
work has been tremendous
