The report is interesting. It follows: To the President and Directors 0 the South Norwalk Public Library and Reading Room. Gentlemen: TheI thirty-fourth an- nual report of the South Nor-walk Public Library and Reading Room, ending May 31, 1924.13 here pre- sented. In the 803 days composing the Library year 38.530 books have been recorded as circulated. an ln-. crease of over 600 in 1923. state. If to this record could be added requests for books in circula- tion,_astonishing results could be given. - The public may be assured that every book purchased by the library. or donated to it. is placed on the shelves as soon as catalogued, and is then at the service of its patrons. Many requests of unusual books have been filled it being a. policy of the Directors, that is followed in many libraries and recommended by the American Library Association, that all tastes should be gratified. Any book that is criticised is re- stricted in circulation. but any adult can have it on request. The best fiction obtainable is add- ed every month. but the large Iib- raries’are finding a choice so diffi- cult. that the axe placing lists of "one-time favorities" to entice the public. Of one hundred recom- mended their library has eighty-two. The shelves in-the Children's room are no longer without books. Many books formerly with-held from cir- culation on account of their beauty are now given freely to the child- ren. It is the hope of the librarian that this beauty will appeal to the care- taking instincts of the child. Required reading my pupils in the low grades in rnslng the standard of the books taken by the children, but many of those are entirely be- yond the comprehension of the small child. The system of “credits" given these mits. is responsible for this condition. Many and beautiful gifts have been placed in this room: a new set of the “Book of Knowledge" in twenty volumes. the gift made possi- ble by the Rowan fund: "The World its cities and people." presented by Mrs. Jacob Layton, in ten volumes, and “Standard Library of Natural History" given by Mrs. I. Mortimer Hoyt. Other gifts of books that may be circulted are more than welcome for the life of books in this room is short. The Reading room has received from the Price 8: Lee company, a. loan of 60 up-to-date directors. and there are others of use although not the test. Mr. Charles Miller New york Telephone directory, that is much appreciated. The total number at the service of the public is 110. Conn. Public Documents. Gen- eral Statutes of Conn.. officials Ga.- zctte of U. U. Patent office, Con- gressional Record, U. 8. Civil Ser- vice Examinations. Trade Record, and others of like nature are in this room. . 77 peroidlcale are at the service of the public. It is necessary to keep the fashion magazine and popular periodicale on call at the desk to curb in come degree mutilations and defacements. - The State Board of Education has sent out requests to librarians and teachers .to ecu-operate with it in an attempt to stop this practice. Lists. of books, notices. proclama- tions and bulletins, are posted on the "bulletin board" from time to time. The reference room has added to its treasures “ A hlbtory of Painting by "Haldane MacFall in eight vol- umes, illustrated with 200 plates in Colour?" Pratt's "New encyclopedia. of music." “Ediquette” by Emily Post, “The New International Year Book 1923" and others of less im- portance. The usefulness of this room is increasing every year. If a. holder for the large. bulky atlases could be provided it would save much wear of the books. and be a. great cnveniencs to patrons. The stock room is well filled with desirable books. This is the time of the year when many misiaid and forgotten books suddenly appear. A Western library has adopted an ingenious plan to bring about the return of lost books. A barrel is placed. in the entrance hall labelled "le Your Forgotten Books Here. No questions asked. snd no fines re- quired." It met with gratifying suc- cess. A selection of books of unusual in- terest in the non-fiction section in- cludes Charles W. Eliot's “A Lats Harvest." "Life and Letters of Emi- ly Dickinson." by M- 13- 1318.116111- "Tho Tomb of Tut-nnléh-smen." by Howard Carter and A. . Mace.

Saltzgnber, leader of the Grand Army during the present war. referred to the resolution against war adopted recently at the Methodist conference in Springfield. and said that its worth depended on the way it is interpreted. "It is all right to denounce wars in general," he said, “but none of the wars in which the United States has engaged were unrlghteous. as this country it,would be right to disarm, but. we cannot make the United States the prey of the na- tions. Some would eventearrdown the 'Bunker Hill monument or that at Washington . so anxious are they to be rid of the memories of the put." Commander Saltzgaber strongly condemned the use of government funds in the erection of a monument to Jefferson Davis, the President of the Confederacy and appealed to the present generation to recall the injunction of Abraham Lincoln to care for the soldier and his widow. Corporal James Tanner. past com- mander in chief, was carried to the pulpit. He. too. upheld the necessity cf adequate national prcpuedneu and praised President Coolidge for calling the National Defense Day. In plain words the old warrior condemn ed “hooded and veiled organizations" for which he said “there is not room under the stars." “Iatthezn go to some place where they can mod; in duknsss and dots upon the time they can dwell in eternal darkness." he cried. ‘ The church filled rapidly to capes. it: to tho thundering of the old civil war battle hymns played by the or- ganist.
