material available on the Oregon
Trail, for speech. His staff had
little time in which to work and there was
some uncertainty where to turn, considering
that great part Of the material on the Ore
gon trail is in great detail, and rather pom
derous.
But the Presidents aide had happy thought.
He communicated with one of the few sources
in Washington where the information he de-
sired could be furnished in authentic form, ac~
curate, interesting, but not too comprehensive.
He called upon Miss Louise p. Latimer, dt-
rector of children's work in the Public Library,
and from her shelves a brightly covered book
for young folk furnished the matter the Pres
ident wanted.
Brightly covered books from Miss Latimers
shelves have an ever-increasng influence for
good on the Washington community. In the
1O-year period ending June 80, last, her de-
partment grew from 26l, 082 volumes circulated
in 1888, to 814 ,989 volumes, while the
agencies of her work increased from three 10
nine.
Although Miss Latiner'S professional inter-
est is centered In the young persons world, the
activities of her department are by no means
limited to the juvenile. just as President
found her Office helpful, so other grown-ups
turn to her continuously for advice about their
children's reading and their own

have similar culture.
The Department Of Agriculture asked the de-
partment to prepare for the Society of Nature

nile books containing, in story form, the
great value and duty Of farm work. The ma

THE Library last year furnished books to Ia
public schools, to 20 Catholic schools and
to private schools So successful Is the work
that DR.. George F. Bowerman, the librarian,
receives numerous visiting school principals,
teachers and librarians who come to study the
work.
The extensive work with Catholic schools Is
one of the unique features. It was planned at
the suggestion Of Miss Iatimer several years
ago. when she was supervisor of the school
activity, and assisting her in carrying the sug-
geStion into effect were officers of the Catho-
lie Women's Literary Guild, Rev. A. J. Daarte.
S. J., vice president Of Gonzaga College and
moderator of the Guild; Miss Winifred Cos
tigan president, and Miss Helen Duffy, chair
man Of the Library committee.
The Guild selected Catholic review COM
mittee from the Catholic sisters and teachers
in the public schools, and this committee was
asked to review the books used in the schools
division with the question in mind: els this
Aok acceptable for Catholic children?" The
books acceptable to the committee were made
available to the Catholic schools in the FAN
Of 1917 with the understanding that no book
disapproved by the committee would be sent.
From that time permanent Catholic conn
mittee under direction OF the Catholic Woman's
Literary Guild, has reviewed annually the til
ties added to the collection. Fewer than so
titles have been disapproyed out of more than
1900 passed on.
In various parts Of the city. seven children's
rooms are maintained In addition TO q central
children's room in the Library building Chill
dren's librarians are busy persons. They must
know the books and be able to interest the
young folk in them. 1t does little good to tell
a 14-year-old boy, "this is q good book" and
printed reviews and book notes are of little
value
As the children read, their parents read. In
the school work last year, 340737 volumes
were circulated. and the greater number of
adults who found their way to Miss Latirner,s
Office attested to the fact that the books were
being thumbed by adult fingers. Parents find
the department helpful In selecting titles for
children's individual libraries for suggestion
OF book gifts: for advice on books to help in
overcoming faults In the child's makeup.
TO carry on this work with adults, two
rooms and two special collections have been
set apart in the Central Library
