LIBRARY OF THE HIGH SEAS
Reading Material for Seamen Will Be Collected by Association
In Campaign Next Month.

The men who go down to the sea
in ships have other things to do than
sing chanteys, climb onto yardarms
and furl billowing sails. When they are
of watch they have considerable leis-
ure time. Some study Bowditch on
navigation, but many others lean
toward fiction, adventure tales and light
reading to while away the time be.
tween watches and sleep.
For many years the men who serve
the ships depended on magazines pick
ed up hurriedly at a seaport before
they showed of for foreign port, or
much thumbed tome passed from
back in 1918 the American Library
Association stepped in with construc-
tive idea to furnish reading matter for
sailors. Mrs. Henry Howard, chief OF
the social service bureau of the Ship
ping Board, had an idea that systematic
furnishing of reading material for the
thousands Of men who manned Ameri-
can vessels during the war would fill
a great need by way of keeping the
men OF the merchant marine occupied
on their off-duty hours. With the
help OF the association the work be-
gan with shipment of q load of mis-
cellaneous books to the East Boston
Training Station for merchant seamen
By the close Of the war the association
had rendered a magnificent service to
merchant Seamen, extending 1t to all
the important ports of the country.
Organization Formed in 1921.
In 1921 came the organization of the
American Merchant Marine Library
Association, an organization founded to
furnish reading material for sailors,
literally. as its slogan implies, THE
public library Of the high seas This
organization carries on the work started
during the war, with its contributions
coming from voluntary sources, and
even from the men who are the bene-
flciaries of its service.
The 12-day period from January 10
to January Is has been designated by
the association as book week." during
zines and general reading material will
be received. Mrs. Gibson Fahnestock
is chairman of the Washington commit
tee Of the Library of the sea-" which
also serves lighthouses scattered along
the lonely coast line Of the United
States, and Coast Guard stations and
ships.
The American Merchant Marine Lie
brary Association depends on voluntary
contributions. To show the extent of
its work during 1928, the annual report
declares that 1,738 ships received IL
braries of books and other reading
material, 225 life saving stations re-

chosen books, comprising fiction and

Every effort is made by the association
to fill the large numbers of special re-
quests which are received. Books are
packed in strong wooden boxes of uni

tied in packages and delivered with the
libraries with instructions that they
need not be returned.

the great popularity Of such magazines
as the National Geographic, and we
know from experience that many sea-
men often learn their first English
