library SERVICE

The Public Library OF one OF the large
cities reports that 1t has for so years
maintained a unique record-it Is tax
supported institution which has always
,,v.d within It's income. While keeping
successfully TO its budget II has given
service 12Is hours day. with sia hours
or Sundays. II is open every day IN
the year except the Fourth OF July.
The casual visitor sometimes thinks
the public library is useful mainly as
a source OF supply for fiction readers.
The library In question announces that
ths adult fiction Issued last year
amounted TO only 81 per cent OF the
total circulation. and the Juvenile fiction
Is per cent The non-f!ction books
t..usd covered such subjects as philo-
sophy, religion, sociology. science. tech
noloxy, nne arts. literature. history.
travel. biography and books In foreign
languages.
This library also took active part IN
community affairs. It's club rooms were
used for 1926 meetings with total at
tendance OF 1881. Its branch library
audi,oriums were used ESQ times. with
a total audienc. OF 2o.Iss. Its story
hours reached 1857 groups OF children.
totaIling SI.542 Individual youngsters.
Members Of It's stan spoke TO 1.4Ss
classes and audiences numbering 6A27s
people.
other libraries in smaller communities
are doing equally vital work in proper
ton to the public support given them
and the need FOR their service. In any
summary OF the fine. constructive In
fiuences FOR progress and happiness In
American life the public library will
take It's place along with church home
and school.

THE AMERICAN RACE

Or. Ales Hrdlioka. OF the Smithsonian
Institution. addressing body OF scient-
lists recently, called the American race
the infant Of the human family. Physi-
cally there Is yet no specifically defined
American type. There are many types,
each representing the European racial
group from which II came.
Mentally however. there Is an Ameri-
can race. as clearly marked TO the
psychologist as the Scandinavian or
Greek or Chinese would be to the ethno-
lcgist.
The American possesses an unmistak-
able alertness, 4 nervous energy. an at
nosphere Of intelligence and independ-
ence which are peculiarly his own.
II there Is any one inclined to feel
badly because there are no physical race
characteristics. ne should cheer up
There is more cause for pride In these
mental and spiritual qualities which
speak so plainly OF the nations achieve
ments. ideals and opportunities.
