LACK OF VOTES CITED Declares Institution Must Be Re- garded as Integral Part of Education. Speial Dispateh to The Star. CHICAGO, December 28.—The vote- less condition of the residents of Washington, D. C., was explained to ociation today by Dr. George Bowerman, librarian of the Puplic Li- brary of the National Capital. The council began a three-day session to- jay. with public librarians of the country in attendance. Dr. Bowerman opened the discus- sion on the day's topic, the question of library support. Mentioning two handicaps not encountered by other librarians, Dr. Bowerman said that not only have the people of Wash- ington no votes of any sort whatever, no representatives in Congress, but that the people there are not even | permitted to use their own tax money for school and library support until fCongress votes to appropriate it. No Direct Personal Interest in Library ongressmen, their w children and clerks and their families get all of their books from the Library of Congress, and that, too, delivered at their doors, and so have no direct personal interestin the Public Li- brary,” Dr. Bowerman said. “In this respect the Public Library is worse off than the schools, for some con- gressmen and their clerks have chil- dren in the schools, and to that extent are personally interested in seeing that Washington has good schools. “Obviously we in the District of Columbia should have the right to vote for President and Vice President, and should, at the very least. have in Congress voting representatives and one senator. I ask my professional colleagues to help in securing the constitutional amendment required to give us these fundamental rights.” Proceeding to the psychological handicaps fairly common to most communities, the speaker stated that public libraries are rather gererally iregarded as gift propositions, because early libraries had rich endowments and because it is not generally un- derstood that Carnegie benefa(‘tluns do not cover maintenance. Renults Less Tangible. “Most legislators and aldermen have made successes without library ad- vantages. Older teachers do not ap- preciate need of library facllities,” he said. “The results of library educa- tion are less tangible than school edu- cation. which leads directly to gain- ful occupations. Librarians do not al- insist on training standards, often do not discriminate be- tween professional and clerical em- ployes. Librarianship is still often regarded as a congenial, sheltered oc- cupation, and that compensation ques- tions should be disregarded. ‘Mechanical features are too much evidence and holders of purse istrings are not made to understand the educational service rendered. Librarians and trustees lack courage and are too apologetic in asking for funds and too often go ahead and do work without necessary funds. There is too great a lack of defined stand- ards of library service, costs and ap- propriate salari “As remedies,” " the speaker said, “librarians and trustees must first themselves correctly conceive of the public library as an integral part of education, just as essential to public welfare as the schools, must have courage to demand as a right the ample” support required to do the library’s large work.

FOR MOTHERS' AID Seven Christmas Opportuni- ties Still Only Partly Pro- vided for Report Shows. $3,017.07 IS NEEDED Contributions to Be Received Ui: to New Year in Order to Care for All Needy. A sum of $10,000 iy reported as in hand to be used during 1923 in pro- viding all-the-year-around Christmas cheer for the fourteen families which the Associated Charities has been seeking to care for by “mothers’ al- lowances.” While this amount leaves seven of the families represented by opportunities 2, 4, 7, 9, 11. 12 and 13 still only partly previded for, the; society is determined to keep up its efforts to obtain the necessary funds, 80 these seven shall not be treated differently from the others, whose good fortune it is to be fully sub- seribed. 1 The morning mail brought a gift of $100, to be divided equally among | opportunities 9. 10, 11 and 12, or, if any one of these is closed, its por- tion to be transferred to one of the others that is_still open. As No. 10 is one of the f@rtunate ones to have been taken care of, its share is assigned to No. 4, which now needs only $95 to see it through. Yester- day's acknowledgments of 4.43 are swelled to a total of §10,038. returns received at the Associated _— to the basic support from the public treasury, exactly like the schools. “The public must be more fully in- doctrinated in correct thinking gbout the library. Shift emphasis from recreational reading to literature for culture, citizenship and economic progress for individuals and the com- munity. Demand & more complete | recognition of trained librarianship as a profession, to be as well re- warded as are teachers and other nical experts in city government. ‘The best remedy of all is the wide insistence on the American Library Assoclation's standard of $1 per capita for simply good public library maintenance, with much more than $1 for the best results. This should everywhere be implanted in the com munity consciousness. This should be reinforced by defined standards of qualifications and salaries, service to be rendered and necessary costs, thus making the arguments for better sup- port definite and convincing.
