46" 100 SCIENCE BOOKS PUTON EXHBITION Popular Works Chosen With Care by Special Committee at Public Library. One hundred popular books on sci- entific subjects, reliable and readable from the public point of view, were placed on exhibition at & meeting of the Washingfon Agademy of Sclence last night in the Public Library by Dr. George F. Bowerman, librarian. In addition to the’ select 100 the ex- hibit included a large number of books that just escaped being chosen for the exclusive shelf, as well as a few shelves of manuals and reference books that are useful to the scien- tific worker. Books Chosen by Experts. The list of 100 select books was compiled by a committee of the acad- emy at the request of Dr. Bowerman, who desired to obtain for the public the scientific books that the general reader can tackle without fear of too much_ technicality. This list, it was stated at the meeting, is strictly ten- tative, and “neither the committee of the whole nor any one member of it can assert that the books named are the very best for the purpos Explaining, why he asked the acad- emy to compile a list of such books, Dr Bowerman declared that he is de- s of interesting the people in sci- !ntl lc matfers. He indicated that the average reader would not pursue the ;\;:kcl if frightened off by . the first Dr. Bowerman cited figures showing that the circulation of books at the Peblic Library last year was 985,000 000 of which were fiction, 32,000 natural science and 34,000 useful arts. “Fictfon has its appeal,” he said, “but we want to interest the readers in science. People In despair take to fic- tion.” Scientific Books Neglected. Dr. Bowerman said he beJieved cvery public library needed such a list of sei- entific books as compiled by the com- mittee of the Academy of Science. He said_that ‘since he has been librarian of the Washington Public Library he ‘has made an effort to increase the num- ber of sclentific books on the shelves. Dr. Bowerman says thers are many people in Washington and clsewhere who believe public libraries have only fiction “Some of these peo- ple,” he said, “are now finding out the various flelds of books in the public ¥ libraries.” Other speakers at the meeting were Robert B. Sosman, W. J. Humphreys. E. T. Wherry, Paul Bartsch and H. L. Shantz. Dr. A. H. Brooks, presided. NOTE ISSUE AUTHORIZED. ‘Washington Gas Light Company to Sell $370,000 Worth.
