There IS no more charming, or cultured woman in the South, than Mrs. With erspoon. DANCE AND BANQUET. The Kappa Sigma banquet, Satur day night, and dance, Friday night, are the events of interest in fraterni- tw circles this week. Both affairs “The Work of Public Libraries in Civic Campaigns” was the subject of an address by Purd B. Wright, libra rian public library of Los Angeles, Cal. Said Mr. Wright: “Public libraries conducted along progressive lines may In all sincer ity be said to endeavor to live up to what might be termed a very broad motto, expressed In words paraphras ing the advice of a judicial fiiend to a law class, ‘To do something of everything, and everything of some thing.’ “With such a broad foundation claim, it naturally follows that the modern up-to-date library should de vote more or less of its energy and income in furthering any movement looking to a betterment of civic con ditions. Primarily, the library was founded as an educational center. This is its real business still, and the hope is expressed that it will continue in definitely. But it should be m-ade plain in passing that it has broaden ed the definition of the word educa tion far beyond the confines of the school, or recitation or lecture room. The public library has become, if you will pardon the term, the storage battery from which practical help as well as cultural inspiration may be drawn. The power or energy In these bat teries is not stored in a dav. nor is it drawn upon daily or w-eekly or even monthly, for any considerable part of it. But the storage goes steadily on, so that when the de mand Is made the library responds with more or less promptness and to a degree depending entirely upon governing conditions. Sream is not generated instantane ously, nor without expenditure of heat. Electricity is not harnessed for man’s use without cost. False econ omy in the fuel room is instantly ap parent in the steam chest or the dy namo. Carrying the analogy to the present question, it is plain that the community which deals niggard'y with its library can expect at best but a liwe service in return. If the support given beb road and liberal its supporters have the riirhi to ex pect and to demand of its library an enlightened administration, one of ad- eqt:a*e responses when the call comes. And the call of today is decidedly more urgent than the call of yester day, more complex, more diversified. In civic matters, it is for progressive city charters* and suggestions by sti:- dents and experts for better laws for the betterment of city govern ment: for playground plans, ideas for educating attendants, games for developing thee hlld mentally and physically; for outlines, plans and suggestions for parks and boulevards —otherwise the city beautiful; for house and grotxnd plans for the hous ing commission, its organization, methods for geting the most effective results: comprehensive plans for civic and educational centres, museums and art galleries; statistical and ex pert advice for those interested in the study, development and control of public utilities; for methods for the health proteciion organizations— and cn and on through- a long list known to every comm-uni'y of high- minded, helpful people. As a matter of fact, the demand of today is but partially expressed by the questions raised at this meeting, voiced by the papers, addresses and discussions. What It will be tomorrow' or next year. It would be folly to attempt to say. The world is moving fast in these early days of the 20th century, and the 'W'ants of the people imnjeasurably faster. Whatever these may be. the sort of library i like to think of, and the kind I hope all of you would like to have, will be partially prepared for the emergen cy—and ready fully to prepare itself. Remember, please, this is the Ideal library in all its perfection, which we will have just as soon as we have a perfect people and perfect cities. The millenium It is worth striving for, even If we know it cannot be reached in our day and generation—if ever. The careful book committee or the painstaking librarian may not know it, but the storing of the battery with the thing or things sure to be need ed in the future is going steadily on, printed page by printed page, from leaflet to pamphlet, from pamph let to magazine, from magazine to book. For this charging of the bat tery is merely the keeping in touch with the trend of events, the watch- inar of the formation of moments. “Foot-Fftters.** OXFORDS 800 Pair Ladies’ New 191i Oxfords $2.00 the pair These Come in Patent Colt, Gun Metal and Vici—Ail New Styles for Street and General Wear. THOMPSONS gather that it is conceded, nay, ad mitted, with all thep ride of the profession, that one has the right to go to the library for help on any civic question in which the public, or any considerable number of citizens are interested, with the full expecta tion of receiving such help—that it is a duty of that library to meet such calls as a matter of course. But mark you, it must be borne in mind that there is another side to the question, one which should be of as much importance and of as keeu interest to the citizen as to those in charge of the library, and that is, briefly as it may be put, that thep ublic library should be placed in position by its own own- er^; to meet any legitimate demands made upon it. Not until this has 1)6511 to 1*10 v^rv Isst of inanagement, equipment and hous- ing is it a^ubject for criticism from those who should be its friends, de fenders and users. For the public library everywhere, in your home city, in my home city, may I not make a personal plea for a broad and helpful interest in its affairs so that it may show a wide and comprehensive interest in your public affairs? In helping it you merely help j'ourselves. It is yoiirs, and I know you will pardon the en thusiast In a work he believes in for thinking an dsaying of the gener al public library that it is as fully entitled to a movement for its bet terment, for an improvement of its condition, no matter how admirably they may already be, as .any advocat ed by any person on this floor. ^ittle-Long Co^ “GET IT AT HAWLEY’S.” SERVICE Goes to Buy Goods For Gibson-Woolley Co.
