The Public Library's record, handi- caps and hopes are outlined in the annual report of the chief librarian of that institution, which as a part of the twenty-fifth report of the board of library trustees was filed {with the Commissioners yesterday. The library Is characterized by Dr. Bowerman as “millionaire In use, poverty stricken In funds, forward looking, with prospects bright for the { ! development of its service.” | Dr. Bowerman says that expansion {of the library gystem lies close uhead. “This cxpanslon consists in the {promised opening of a new south- castern branch library in December ! nd the expected opening of the new tern High School. branch library | {in February. 1923. with the prospect | fof two other branches in the Mac- | farland and Langley Junior high schools when erected. The Carnegie | Corporation has given $100,000 for a building In the Mount Pleasant sec- tion, a desirable site has been found and prospects of securing the appro- priation from Congress for its pur- chase seem good.” Growth at Main Library. Over a million volumes were loaned for home usc through the central lib- rary and Takoma Park branch, to which the lending of nearly 75,000 pie- tures should b: added, so that the total circulation was 1.093,091 piéces. That the amount of information serv- ice available has a definite reaction upon both quality and quantity of read- ing is shown by the fact, it is pointed out, that the placing of one -highly trained assistant at a strategic point of contact with readers during rush hours resulted in ancingreased use of over %000 volumes of non-fiction. Assist- whce in the selection of books in their own langunges was given to many for- eigners, to whom were loaned during the vear over 15,600 volumes. Neariy a_ half-million books were issued to Washington children; a quarter of a millign having been made accessible to thent through collections of books loaned t0 the schools. Large Use of Business Books. “During the winter,” it is stated, “the use of the industrial division was so large that often the shelves were left bare of books on account- ing, cgst finding, salesmanship, sales managément, finance, bankin keting and business letter writing. “The reference room.” according to the report, “has been kept busy with inquiries from students in_colleges, high schools and summer schools and teachers, Bible students, government officials, club women, newspaper men, authors and general readers. During this difficult period of reconstruction the marked interest shown by the public in questions of the day is en- couraging. During the conference on limitation of armament all phases of the questions involved were studied.” Demands for Plctures. “Teachers numbering 845 from 158 public. and private schools and 27 Sunday schools supplied their classes| with material from the library's pic- ture collection.” Representatives of 11 clubs used the library regularly for illustrations on art and literature topics. The picture collection sup- plied material also for newspaper and commercial artists. Instruction in the use of books and the library was given the seventh and_eighth prades of the Takoma Park School by the librarfan of the Takoma branch. Credits for reading along special lines were given by the education department of Woodward & Lothrop and Lansburgh & Bro., where the library has loaned collec- tions of books for the use of the em- ployes. From 11 such deposit sta- tions and 14 high schools and colleges over 85,000 volumes were loaned. The Library's Handieags. “All of this constantly growing work was accomplished,” Dr. Bowerman states, “not only without a cent of in- creased appropriations, but with an actual decrease in annual expenditures | of nearly $5,000. The staff is insuffi- cient in numbers and grossly under- i paid; the funds for the purchase of books and rebinding become less and less adequate as use and demands in- |-crease; the equipment in such essentials as typewriters, filing cases and delivery trucks falls more and more into a con- dition of disrepair, often to the extent of seriously blocking the work of the library. The situation of closing the central building of the Public Library every Wednesday at 3 p.m. and in the summer months every Saturday at 1 p.m. has now unfortunately become a habit, but none the less is-discreditable and an increasing occasion of annoy- ance to the public, who cannot accus- tom themselves to the idea that the National Capital’s central library should not be open all day and every day.” The statutory staff of the library bas remained stationary for several years in spite of steady increases in the use of the library. For the com- {ing year, Dr. Bowerman says, ‘“not only” was ‘there no enlargement of staff to meet the present crushing burden of work, but the appropriation for substitutes was actually reduced by $500. To prevent a collapse of the work of the libracy, the trustees au- thorized still larger drafts on the desk fund /for employment: of addi- tional assistants, so that often as many as ten persons were so em- ployed. Even o the staff was insuf- ficient in numbers and the desk fund was so badly depleted as to leave little for use in supplementing book- purchasing and bookbinding funds.” The Library’s Hopes. “A branch for the Mount Pleasant section has long been assigned the next place after the southeastern in the! plan of library development,” Dr. Bowerman says.. With the $100,000 allotted by the Carnegle. Corporation and prospects of securing the site good, this branch should be completed in the near fu- “Such a branch” he points “would serve a populatiom of 75,000 to 90,000 persons, most of whom live two and one-half or mare miles from the central library. The branch, if well stocked with books and well staffed, would be expected to show a use approximating that of the main library. Much of this would be new business, but enough of it would represent a transfer to relleve some of the congestion from the main library.” Dr. Bowerman says that it is Jm- portant to pu: orward as rapidly a8 possible the building of the entire ‘n most other large and progressive American cities of the size of Wash- Gluvas WiANS -6 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON Suburban Heights.

HE HAS BEEN in the Eastern High School, and in the Macfarland and Langley Junior high” schools are the expected first frults of the comprehensive plan for co-operation between the board of education and the board of lbrary trustees toward which the two boards have long been working. A report outlining policies and procedure in the establishment, maintenance and administration of branch libraries in public school buildings was drafted by the superintendent of schools and the public librarian and adopted by the two hoards as a working agree- ment. The librarian points out that | if this plan s followed, and branch librarles are included wherever need- ed, in new suburban school buildings and especially in Junior high schools, | | it should meet most of the library de- mands of the outlying districts. Dr. Bowerman gives special credit to Dr. Hallou, the superintendent of ools, for his sympathy and helpful- | ness both in working.out the broad plans for the development of the sys- | tem of branch libraries in the schools and in the allotment to the Public Li- brary of rooms in the three school build- ings _now under construction.

Pierpont Morgan's statement that it doesn’t pay to sell the United States short.” . The advertisement showed that in 1833 a piece of land was sold in the then upper distant part of New York city for $935808." That sum was deposited in the Chemical Bank. That happens to be the picce of land on which the bankers in the Com- modore Hotel are now holding their convention. It is now assessed by the city for $9,500,000. just a little more than one thousand times what it sold for in 1833, eighty-nine years ago.
