CHILDREN'S BOOK WEEK
ENDS WITH SUCCESS

The shelves in the children's de-
partment of the public library tell
the story this morning of the success
of Children's Book Week which, un-
der the supervision of Miss Edith
Myers, children's librarian. was car
ried on here as part of the nation
wide movement. OF. the hundreds
of books that belong in this depart
ment. there are not two dozen re-
naming, which condition is the re-
suit of the numerous new member
ships that have poured in as the re-
suit of the book week activities.
Since last Monday 175 new names
have been added to the list in the
children's department and between
1.500 and 1000 children have visited
the exhibition which was given in
the auditorium of the building.
One of the features of book week
was the book den" which was erect
ed in the auditorium where were dis
played the choicest books in the
child world of literature. In here
the children from four years of age
up through the grammar grade ages
found at least a few books after their
own hearts and were able to seclude
themselves and read to their content
Here, too. Miss Myers read to the
younger children, while outside the
"den" groups of books on chairs and
tables were surrounded by the
youngsters who were not fortunate
enough to have gained access to the
den"
The presence of the host of chill
dren at the library last week lends
evidence that there are numerous
youngsters in the city who need no
coaxing to use the library if only
the proper books are availa BILE. Sew
eral of the parents accompanied the
children and obtained i'm short
time very fine idea of what kind
of books should be used. and there
is no doubt but what the purpose
of the activity to bring more and
better books into the home. was
fulfilled

LITTLE MOTHERS LEAGUE
TO BE GIVEN PARTY

The Little Mothers League will be
given a party tomorrow afternoon
at 3.45 o'clock in the public library
by Miss Ethel Roberts. the nurse in
charge of their educational work.
well known in this city because OF
her preventative work under the
Bureau of Child Hygiene of New
Jersey.
Under the direction of DR.. Julius
Levy. director of the bureau of child
hygiene in the state of New Jersey.
these little mothers leagues have or
ganized throughout the state along
with seventy baby keep-well sta
tions. These leagues were first
brought into existence because 1t
was found that the big sisters often
brought the babies to the stations
where mothers were too busy. and
very often. too. the sister had to act
in the capacity of interpreter for the
mother when a foreign born parent
called on the nurse for instruction
in the proper care and feeding of
her baby. Besides this the school
child is more apt to take up new
suggestions and introduce changes
in the home whereas the mother will
never accept these suggestions. \
great many babies are cared for by
their older sisters, and consequently
it is an effort we'll spent to instruct
them properly.
Lectures on the care of the baby
are given in the public schools and
here little mothers leagues are
formed among girls over twelve
years Of age to take up the study of
child care. In New York the men,
bership in these leagues is as high
as 1900 girls.
The work is very valuable. not
only in guiding the little mother in
her daily tasks but also in preparing
her for the time when she will be-
come a real mother.
