Assume Duties On
February Is

Mr.. and Mrs. w. L. Kuser of
Eldora, Iowa, will take charge as
superintendent and matron,
respectively, of the Oregon State
Training school for boys here on
February Is, according to an
nouncement by the board of con-
troll this morning.
At meeting of the board this
morning r. b. Goodin, secretary
to the board, was instructed to
notify Mr.. and Mrs. L. M. Gilbert,
present superintendent and ma
tron, to be prepared to turn over
the institution to the new officials
on that date.
The Kusers, who are at present
in charge of the Iowa school for
boys at Eldora, were employed to
take charge of the Oregon school
several months ago with the un-
derstanding that they would come
to Oregon early this year. The
action of the board of control to-
day was based ON information to
the effect that the new officials
would be here ready to assume
their new duties on February is.
The Gilberts have been in
charge of the school for the past
four years, Mr.. Gilbert being en-
ployed as an instructor in the
institution for a year prior to his
elevation to the superintendency.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kuser have each
had long experience in institu-
tional and training school work,
according to a statement issued

OF MvNEY
$500 Isn't Enough
to Run Institution
This Year, Opinion;
Board to Meet

With more than 7400 registered
patrons approximately 40 per
cent of the population of Salem
looking to the public library for
reading matter, with the library's
business showing 80 per cent in
crease over that of year ago, and
with but $7500-$200 less shan
was spent last year-with which
to meet ever increasing expenses,
the Salem public library problem
will loom unusually large when
its directors meet tonight to dis
cuss ways and means of properly
financing it's operations.
Last year the library board
spent $7700. This year it asked
the city council for $4,000 with
which to work in 1922. The $4,000
was requested with the library
board believing that that amount
would be the minimum on which
it might work. Its budget, it is
said, had been trimmed, re-trim-
med, and then trimmed again. But
the council, in making up the
city's budget, felt that no more
than $500 could be granted.
This was $4O0 more than was al
lowed in 1920.
Nav Close Doors.
Closing of tbs library during
certain hours of the day has been
the only solution thus far ad-
vanced by members of the board.
Having spent years in building up
its patronage, the library board
now feels reluctant to close the
doors in the hope of having few
dollars in salaries.
Records kept during the last
week show that there are no less
than 20 persons in the library
during every hour that it is open,
Miss Flora M. Case, librarian, said
this morning. "This includes the
early morning hours and the meal
hours. An average of 40 persons
an hour would be fair in consid-
ering all hours of the day. Dur
ing the o'clock hours we serve
an average of perhaps so per-
sons" That the library this year
will perhaps show another in
crease of 80 per cent in business,
was the belief expressed by Miss
Case.
About $500 was realized by the
librarian in fines and book rentals
last year, Miss Case said. No less
than this amount will probably be
taken in during the next IL
months. Between 500 and 1000
books are handled at the library
each day, and this business is
handled by three persons working
full time as librarians.
Members of the library board
who will seek to solve the library
problem tonight are D. w. Eyre,
president; Mrs. ]. w. HARRISON,
vice-president; William Burg
hardt Jr.. secretary; and Mrs. F.
H. Spears, A. A. Lee, DR.. II. H.
olinger. H. w. Meyers, F. K. Low
