American people are using their H.
braries as home universities for self
education instead of for amusement,
according to Carl H. Milan, secretary
of the American Library association.
who points to the employment OF
education advisers in the largest
cities as proof of his assertion.
"'People are intent these days on
gathering useful information" said
Mr.. Milan "At Detroit, Milwaukee
and Cleveland the demand for in
structive and international books
has become so great that superinten-
dents of adult education have been
appointed to care for the ambitious.
what makes adult Americans so
eager for technical information? The
same thing that fills our universities
and colleges to overhowing. The IL
braries are meeting the increased de-
mand by drawing up reading courses
in various fields for the use OF be-
ginners-business, science, politics
and journalism.
"One woman in Cleveland, nearly
70 wears old. uses the library to learn
how to do needlework which she sells
for a living. A man in the same city
lost his job and studied in the library
until he knew enough to apply for
another. He got it. and held 1t. A
laboring man became chief in his de-
partment of a factory by study at
night. r..
"Some people. too, read just for
general information. But naturally
the greatest interest of library
patrons is to equip themselves for
technical work.
