CHINESE PREFER GREEK BOOKS

 Foreign Literary Tastes.

What seemingly cast iron ties bind the literary tastes of oriental and Greek Or, in other words, why does Chinaman crave the old.Greek works when thousands of other books, an- cient and modern, in all languages, are his for the asking
 For the Chinese do prefer to read Greek, according to a statement by Everett R. Perry, city librarian, in his report to the city council.
 Despite the we'll stocked shelves of the Jefferson street branch, there are some that are always empty. "It is the Greek section" says Perry, "all the time, and it is because the orient als in the Jefferson district demand the ancient works and will accept nothing else"
 In line with this observance, the re- port reveals, the librarian has made an exhaustive study of foreigners who accept the city's hospitality in the matter of reading material.
 A Russian girl of IS, he says, who gave her time to library classics in- stead of attending high school is find ing publishers who can use her English poetry. A young man of the same nationality is said to have mastered the use of English from four months study in public libraries.
 An entire Hawaiian family visits the library to study American history French war brides are learning Eng. fish by reading Easy Readers fol Foreigners" and girl from Holland is searching for works on a literary course in screen talent"

 He denounced the attitude of the commission and charged it with at tempting to 'pass the buck" much to the delight of the assembled farm CTS who cheered him when he had con cluded
