PACKAGE LIBRARIES NOW
II. U. Promotes Current Topic study
With Clipping Service.

Lawrence. Kan. Sept. 5.-Discus-
sion and study of vital subjects of cur
rent interest are being promoted by
the package library plan of the ex-
tension division of the University of
Kansas. During the last year 6,167
package libraries were sent out in an
swer to inquiries, and club outlines
were sent to 610 persons or organiza-
tons.
Obtaining the necessary information
is the greatest obstacle to study of
current topics. 1t was to supply this
need that the library plan was started
Current literature is clipped and
made up into packages on all subjects
of timely interest. These packages
may be borrowed by citizens of the
state for a period of two weeks, free
OF charge except for postage. High
school students and debating societies
have found this service of especial ad-
vantage, altho 1t is by no means lin
tied to them, according to the an
nouncement.
More than 1880 different subjects
are shown in the list of those for
which package libraries have been
made up.
Clubs desiring to make a more ex-
tended study along certain lines are
also furnished with comprehensive
outlines. Altho these outlines have
been prepared for more than 1875 sub
1ects. the extension division will make
up other outlines for any subject re-
uuested
