The value of the present sys
tem of circulating certain books
is questioned by the student, re
cently rebuffed by a reply from
the clerk, "It is out," when the
said student summons sufficient
optimism to call for a piece of
.popular fiction at the general li
brary. This system has long been a
; standing grievance among read
ers who wish to peruse a novel,
biography or non-fiction work
within a reasonable time after
its release from the publishers.
Lucky is he who gets a popu
lar work within six months af
ter it has been received by the
library ! With the library get
ting only a limited number , of
copies of such books, one, sel
dom gets a chance at these while
discussion of that certain work
is going its rounds. Why?
Stating just above that only
a limited number of copies of
popular work are obtained by
the library when such books are
released we move on to observe
that another cause of inability
to secure Elmer Gantry, Sir Gal
ahad, "We" and' others is that
the library has a peculiar con
venient two-weeks rule for a
lending period. The word
peculiar is used because it is pe
culiar convenient for the care
less, thoughtless reader to car
ry a book of much demand to
his or her home or room, leave
it there two weeks and reading
it sometime during that length
of time.
The average reader can peruse
a book in ten or fifteen hours.
Now there are exactly 346 hours
in two Weeks. Allowing the max
imum time for reading a book,
the books, for which everyone
may be clamoring, are either idle
or in other hands than those that
the books are issued to, for 331
hours.' We grant that this is
putting the case in the extreme.
However, it is often the case
that a borrower of a book keeps
the work over two weeks.
This situation could be reliev-
ed in the main, books could be
circulated with tremendous
more facility, and interest in
reading popular works would be
stimulated greatly if the library
officials'' would change the pres
ent two-weeks' period rule to,
say, three days. , Under this ar
rangement a reader would be
given sufficient time to read the
book taken from the library The
evil of books lying idle on one's
desk would be obviated and
many more would get a chance
to read the book. .
To paraphrase our columnist,
Chapel Hill is due an abatement
of the intense hot weather to the
extent of several degrees next
week.
North Carolina has not only
fully recovered from the ravages
of the Civil War but. has pro
gressed to a point abreast of the
leading states of the Union,, E.B.
House, Executive Secretary of
the University,, told a University
Summer School audience Friday
night in his second lecture on the
history of the state. v
Mr. House revealed a number
of interesting facts relative to
North Carolina's part in the war
between 'the states. "This state,"
he said, "gave all she had. Her
voting population was 118,000 ;
her soldiers numbered 127,000
a far greater number of soldiers
than any southern state sent in
to the war, and in proportion to
ler population far greater. than
any state on either side sent into
tho war. Her economic contri-
butfon was equally a great.
Though the battlefield was Vir
ginia, along the Mississippi, and
in Tennessee and Georgia, the
economic backbone of the Con
federacy was North Carolina.
Every fifth man killed or wound
ed in Virginia was a North Car
olinian, and Lee did not sur
render until at last North Caro
lina was broken."
"There were three major ele
ments of human worth in this
war," he continued. "The states
manship of Lincoln, the leader
ship of Lee, and the fortitude of
the Southern soldier. North
Carolina's greatest glory is that
her soldiers defined the type of
this Southern soldier."
The progress of North Caro
lina, according to Mr. House, il
lustrates the "definition of the
kind of people we are, the kind
of ideals we hold, and the des
tiny we are making for our
selves. We know enough -of our
past to feel that human welfare
is confirmed in the policy of
North Carolina. We know
enough afcput our 'present to feel
the inspiration of the life about
us. And from this knowledge
and inspiration we face the fu
ture with joy and eagerness."
The processes of American
history," he concluded, "are "by
no means at an end. America is
really in the first flush of a mag
nificent youth." -
First U. N. C. Librarian
Visits Chapel Hill
Two University alumni, Silas
M. Wetmore of the class of 1899
and F. L. Willcox of the class of
1892, , were in Chapel Hill re
cently. One has a son in the

deB. MacNider, Mr; Wilcox told

versity librarian. In the year
