Necessary, especially because dur
ing all the coolest days of the past
winter, the Assistant Librarian, Mrs.
A Smitherman has been up against
the problem of trying to keep warm
enough to feel she was still alive.
The problem of stoves and heating
is matter that confronts the Ii
brarian, and no one else and must
come out Of the pitiful allowance
made to maintain this institution.
And that is not all, there is the
salary of the Assistant Librarian and
many incidental expenses gas, light
ing, cleaning and the like, which
must be met by the Librarian, and
on top of that he is furnishing his
own building as quarters for the
library for the use of the Colorcd
People of Tulsa. Surely that is a
burden for one man to assume and
carry on successfully.
Many other Sinbad, carrying such
a load, would quite naturally devote
considerable time urging a greater
allowance. through which he per
sOnally might realize relief and
benefit. But not SO, through the eff
forts of Mr.. Az. Smithcrman, Ii
brarian, the local authorities have
been made wise to the primitive
conditions found at the Colored
Library, as compared with those
proviled for the whites at the mag
niiiCCnt public library down town
aud as the result of his efforts a
greater degree of interest is to be
shown and the Colored Library
made more attractive, interesting
and suitable as a place for young
people to go and read. Among other
things in anticipation, ii is planned
to place on the shelves a full line
of the works of Negro authors and
popular magazines. There is every
reason to believe when the ColorcC
People of Tulsa themselves show
wider interest in this institution
that il will soon become one of Sucf
character and usefulness, that one
and all will take pride in it.
In addition, il may be said Mr.
Smiiherman, Librarian, has Offered
the use of the library room free o
charge for night meeting purposes b!
any Tulsa organization interested

Herbert Hoover has placed his
stamp OF approval on the "books-for-

tension of public libraries, declared
the standard Of the nations ciyiliza-
ton can be measured by the learn
ing of its average citizen.
Il am entirely in sympathy with the
work OF the American Library Assoc
cation and have the deepest respect
: Tor what 1t has done In the past" Mr..
Hoover said. During the war the
association performed a most con-
splcuous service to the four and one
half odd millions of men and women
who were engaged in the military or
naval forces of the United States.
rms association Is now planning to
tons. and the program which n has
in mind deserves the warm supporf
of every citizen. The standard OF the
nations civilization can be measured
by the learning of its average citi-
zen. Any effort to supply facilities to
assist in the educa ton Of our youth
marks real step In the educaf;onaI
progress of the entire nation"
' The educational program indorse6
by Mr.. Hoover is to be supported bv
a bookstore fund Of 80 :.
oee,oO0, now being raised by friends OF
Libraries throughout the country. Less
than 80 per cent of the population of
the United States has access to free
public libraries. The American Ii
brary Association will work to GRE
ate public sentiment that will ade-
quately support existing public Ii
braries and cause libraries to be es-
tablished where they do not now exist.
