Pram The Workshop
Latest encountered experience
guaranteed to bring one to the grave
in full age with grey hairs is this '
matter pi classifying a book accortf
ing to Mr. Dfewey's numerical system.
. v
The fiction Is no problem. It's the
reading matter which is not fiction
that baffles. In theory and generally
the classification looks to be one j
of those, fitting arrangements for a '
mass of hooks. In practice enough ex
captions (according to the guide
hook) ari?> nn'illaoomant ac tn
i raise questions as to suitability and
| provoke a desire to design a system
* ot one's own to fit the situation. Itj
you have a library i which has j
grown with you through the years, |
you probably have the books arranged
according to personal preference.
(No one hut you could find a
book indt, but what does that mat- !
ter. They're placed the way you feel
about them.) If you do, this decimal
system, if you've never met it I
before, will impress you not at all,'
especially when it comes'to draw-j
. ing the finer distinctions.
Here aye some .bird books. They'll
come under pure science which will 1
be in the five hundreds somewhere
and all wHl be together. Music Is a i
fine aft and in the seven hundreds j
(780 to 790 to be exact.) Sacred mu- i
aic Is 783, but if it is a hymn with- I
put music, look under 245 (the 240s
cover devotional literature). That
works out smoothly enough.
The useful arts are in the six
hundreds which means cookbooks
and agricultural books are cousins
-?the cookbooks in 640, the agricuuuta,
ones in 630. And here develops
twp little inconsistencies to
an unconvinced mind. M. F. K.

f NOTES
It Is a philosophy on the art of living.
Phineae Beck's Clementine in
the Kitchen includes Chamberlain
etchings and family history in addition
to recipes. < Yet both numbers
will rub shoulders with Miss Farmer's
invaluable manual which is def
initely a text-book. To a decimalsrlan
there is no distinction between
the belles-lettres and the utilitarian
in the field of gastronomy.
It seems slightly raw to number
flower arranging with the agriculturally
practical floriculture when
it would seem it is really a fine art
and ought to be along with sculpture,.
painting, and landscaping.
Folklore, fairy tales, and legends
do not merit a place in the more sedate
social science division unless of
value to the student. "Mere stories
for children" unless useful for study
go in fiction. So don't look for the
Grimms and Anderson fairy tales
ih a numerical location.
.Quite the oddest assignment to
come to sight is that done by one
authority (there are several and
they do not agree) to Saint-Exupery's
Wind, Sand, and Stars. It gets
marked'629.138, That according to
our guide means it is in the useful
arts (6), under engineering (2), in
other branches of engineering (9),
and aeronautics to be exact C.l).
The book is abouft as Useful aeronau.
tlcally as a clod of earth gastronomically.
Here! Enough of this grousing.
We must turn to more immediate
matters. More, anon ? perhaps ??
if provocation'atises. But, till then,
muse on this. The life of a librarian
is not all-taking in and handing out
books while meantime exchanging
the pleasantries of the day and the
book.
CNot all the 'x>oks mentioned above
are in the library.)
Glimpses Of Growth
As time passes the library begins
to take on the appearance of being
a real collection of books and/ not
just a place which houses around
two yards of Grace Livingston Hill
books and so on.
Very gratifying it is to have on
hand a few volumes which might
satisfy the curious inquirer looking
for more literature on a subject in
which he might be interested. Ol
course, the quantity is limited, the
fields covered very, very small. Bui
at least there is some growth.
There is something very attractive
about Cecilia Rudlh's book ol
hymns. Just why hag. not yet been
decided after a casual thumbing
through. H Just might have been
one of those items written as ,a
''labor of love." It suggests the Idea,
anyhow, and will be helpful to the
worker in the field of religious education.
A dip here and there through the
Rockwell and Grayson book on flower
arranging was adventure for an
undisciplined mind which can't resiSt
exploring greener pastures when
ever they present themselves. If
you have a cpllecter-mania, think
of the fun there would be in acquiring
containers In which to arrange
flowers ? not an indiscriminate accumulation
but an artistic assemblage.
Why the arranger who delights
in miniature creations would
have the time of her life obtaining
small objects. Which'brings to mind
the small replica of a round brandy
bottle recently pressed into service
for some star of Bethlehem. * You
never know what you will stumble
upon nor where. All you need is an
open mind.
Do you know that hew copper
screening should always be "coated
with clear lacquer, otherwise the
first rain will cause .coloring from
the screen to run down on the sash

Toynbee's abridged History of
History is not recommended for
1 bed-time reading unless you are fired
with the zeal to know what has
macic civilization tick and proof of
the underlying forces which determine
direction. But it would be certainly
easier to wander through
than the original six volumes.
It is nice having on hand the
Webster Biographical Dictionary.
Simplifies finding the main facts on
current figures and learning the
pronunciation of their names, if a
difficult one.
Caught In Passing

that one about the new location given
