Word went out and all the girls and boys col
lectabIe from lake and playing field crowded
into the building, filling alcoves and reading
desks, while the committee from the State
Capitol took a look at the crowded condi-
tions"-and in the end voted the new library.
HERBERT PUTNAM, in his relations to Con-
gress, is very much in the same position as
President Adams. But that he is not put to
such devices for obtaining the appropriations
he desires speaks of different age.
As O matter of fact he holds record not
duplicated, so far as I know, by any public
official in Washington. Congress this year has
actually gone beyond the appropriation he
asked for certain purpose and trebled the
sum.
Yet it is not alone to a changing sense Of
values among public men that this and similar
facts are to be attributed, but to the tempera-
ment Of the librarian himself q temperament
at once subtle, graceful, objective and some
what obstinate.
That man such as he, finished to the fin
gernail, of great New York and New England
family and Harvard to the nth degree, should,
at the end of 80 years of service to the Gov
ernment command not only the respect OF
scholars and literati straight around the world,

It was significant that he began In this
manner. For throughout his life the keynote
has been cooperation Beginning, then, with
the interests of a municipality, it went on to
winning the interests of a Nation. And it held
then, as it holds today, in his relationships with
his staff. He is true director. He is like an
orchestra leader who turns and waves to his

house. When, after the war, he was voted o

work he had done in bringing books to our men
under arms he tactfully refused the honor.
saying that it belonged to others more than to
himself.
Today he carries on the same policy in the
constant conferences with his staff, in whose
learning and adjustment to their work he
seems to take thoroughly selfesS pride.
When, in 1892, he left Minneapolis for the
beautiful new library in Boston, besides the
many private expressions of regret, there was
a resolution of the City Council which spoke Of
those qualities which "have commanded the
admiration of the board and have endeared
him to the people of our city"
When recently, on the completion Of his
thirtieth year as librarian Of Congress, his
admirers contributed scores Of articles to form

Among the first if not the first of libra
rians to envisage the thought that books
are dead without readers, just as song is
dead without hearers, Putnam has in
fused into the institution the breath of life.

Herbert Putnam is the youngest Of the
five sons of George Palmer Putnam.

the father of Brenda Putnam, the famous

a legal career, studying at Columbia and
entering a law firm in Minneapolis.

old, already had been recognized for his
broad cultivation and known for an in
