The man who would mistreat book,
Is fit for treason, stratagems and spofls
as Shakespeare said.
He varies from the purely malicious
or conscious maltreater of things ol
beauty through various stages Of In
difference and carelessness, in many
cases quite unconscious.
No hard and fast line can be drawn
for this malefactor. since little chill
dren often abuse books out Of sheer
| ignorance Of their value.
The book itself is the thing injured
after all, so perhaps 1t makes no diff
ference who is the perpetrator Of the
evil deed.
Yet there must remain a vast differ
ence between the Ill handiwork Of 9
youngster and an adult.
A grown man who would deliberately
plunge pair Of scissors into the back
OF good book is a pathological case
He Is well known to lending libraries
the world over.
Special funds are maintained In every
public library to fight this constant
| evil. The ways of mistreating books
are legion; many of them are known
only to those who must cope with such
situations; such devices as crop uI
would never be dreamed OF by persons
who respect books.

The child often mistreats books be-
cause he has not been trained either
IN their value or their proper handling
Little hands, clutching a pencil, can
scrawl over the margins Of a big book
In almost no time at all.
Subsequent use of large gum eraser
even when carefully handled, fails to
leave the volume in its pristine con-
dition.
If the book is soiled from any
smudge such an eraser is the book
mans best friend. but still it leaves a
great deal to be desired, as every one
knows who has ever handled one on
title page or margin.
Often the best-printed volumes show
smudges here and there. where per
haps printers assistant, in handling
the patches Of sheets, left a thumb i'm
print.
Sometimes these occur In the most
expensive volumes, where they look
even more out Of place OF an other
wise fair page, than In the cheap
volume.

Proper use of the gum eraser will
do much to restore the sheet to a bet
ter condition. but certain cautions must
be taken by the person who handles it
He must remember. above all. that
paper. even the best. is liable to crum-
pie if rubbed too hard.
Now such crumpling Of a sheet OF
paper, especially at the margins, is a
worse offense to book. in a sense
than smudging it. The blackest mark
Will not be seen, except when the pre-
else page is turned, but a crumpled
margin makes itself apparent when
ever the volume is held in the hand
The proper way to apply an eraser
to a soiled place in book is to hold
the particular page with the thumb
and first finger of the left hand, the
two about two inches apart, so that
the eraser. in the thumb and index
finger Of the right hand, may be ap-
Piled in an up-and-down motion par
allel with the edges of the sheet.

To rub from the type toward the
margin is natural. but almost sure to
result in crumpled page.
This happens, in any event, when
the left fingers are not holding the
page firmly, as advocated, but it is
sure to take place If the rubbing is
across, not up and down.
This Is small discovery, perhaps

One important feature Of the new
