WORK IS REVEALED
Rev. Paul Sperry, Library
Head, Addresses North
Cleveland Park Citizens.

An intimate view of the work being
accomplished In braille transcription

Sper'y, director and vice president of
the library. in an address before men,
bers of the North Cleveland Park Cit
liens Association.
Statistics presented by Rev. Sperry
showed that of an average annual
budget of approximately S16,000,0o0,
sought for the coming year, at least 76
per cent will be paid directly in COM
pensation to blind staff members and
transcribers. OF the total sum of the
budget, $4,000 is paid annually by the
Federal Government. He added, how
ever, that present indications were
the Federal appropriation might not
be forthcoming this year.
Circulation of material for the blind
last year included the loaning of
1928 volumes, LAOS periodicals, 149
music copies and 2,168 talking books,
it was disclosed. A majority of this
material has been made at the library
since its founding in 1911, it was
pointed out. Wages paid at the library
here average s55.83 as the monthly
compensation for blind staff members,
Rev Mr.. Sperry stated. On a piece
work scale. cents is paid for each
braille page transcription and cents
per page for proofreading, he said.
In a short business meeting follow
ing Rev Mr.. Sperry's talk, the asso-

and less of mental attentiveness. That is an
inconsistency and contradiction, but it is a
fact.
In my youth, in every community there
were private citizens who were encyclopedias
of political information. have often talked
about them with Mr.. Cordell Hull, our present
Secretary of State. In his native Tennessee,
whenever he was seeking reelection to public
Office in his young days, he would find in every
hamlet, however remote, at least two or three
citizens who could competently cross examine
him on every roll-call that had happened in
the previous session of the Federal Congress.
Those men and their like have pretty well
died out. We no longer wish to read the Con-
gressional Record. We no longer wish to read
the speeches of statesmen in full. We are
in nsuch matters easily fatigued, easily bored.
We hate the grinding toll of studying issues"
We want - indeed - column after column
of gossip" about political personalities"
But as for politics itself, we want, say, one
minute of it in fifteen-minute radio news
talk devoted otherwise to train wrecks and
strike-riots and Hollywood romances. In men,
tai attentiveness to the problems of the Re-
public we have become largely minute
people.
This development so contradictory to
our development in music and in the other
arts - has a consequence which illustrates
the third change have noted in our national
character: the change toward changeableness
In the period from the Civil War to the end
of the nineteenth century our national cleo
tons tended to be very close between the two
great political parties. During this twentieth
century they have tended toward being land
slides, one way or the other.
This is said to show greater "independ-
ence."I wonder l wonder if it really shows
greater independence" and ''non-partisan-
ship" or if it really shows simply greater in
attentiveness and instability Let us look for
moment not at parties but at issues, spe-
ciically.

HE American people have
changed a great deal, l
think, in the course of the
thirtyyearsduringwhiCh,
as a journalist, have been try
ing - rather unavailingfy
to keep up with them.
Every country, of course,
cherishes the high and proud
idea that it has a permanent
fixed national character. The
Italians, for rinstance, have what
they call "Italianita." 1t ex-
presses their conviction of an
abiding. unchanging italian
ism."
However, when | first made
their acquaintance, they used
to enjoy throwing old glass
bottles promiscuously and an
realistically out of windows
onto public streets on New
Years Eve. They were care
freely Indifferent to rules and
regulations laid down by NUM-
cipal bureauuats. They parked
their motorcars on the side
walks if they pleased; and if
they pleased, they lay on their
backs in the midst of negli-
gently tended olive-trees and
stared with contemplative spir-
itual satisfaction at the blue of
the sky.
Now they are keen for the
arduous materialistic labor of
growing two bushels of wheat
where one grew before; and
they enjoy standing in massed
with a forest of arms stretched un
upwards and outwards at a presC
regulated angle of apparently ale
forty-five degrees.
To me they are the same likea|
in both cases. But my point is thu
ought to say that they are the
able tW0 peoples. Certainly in tive
they have changed enormously.
And so have we Americans change
