(. f) THE EVENING LBRARIANS T0D NEMORAL'S VALLE Hagedorn and Charles Moore, Authors. Biographers _and historians of the future would find it extremely difficult to damage or distort the public's con- ception of its gfeat men, including the | Presidents of the United States, if there | were more memorials similar to the one in New York City, where printed and pictured material pertaining to the life | and work of Theodore Roosevelt is pre- | served for posterity. 13 This was & point made this morning | by Hermann Hagedorn, author of “A | Boy's Life of Theodore Roosevelt,” in his eddress to the third general session of the American Library Association at the Washington Auditorium. His speech was one of two dealing with famous Presidents. Mr. Hagedorn went into de- taiis concerning the Roosevelt Memorial, which houses a huge collection of books, newspaper and magazine _articles, photographs and countless other pic- tures and documents having a bearing on the life of the famous President. The memorial was founded eight or nine years ago and offers the public an exhaustive. record of . Roosevelt's activities, as viewed by his enemies, as well as his friends. The reading matter also includes Roosevelt's own' literary works. Policy Is Defended. Mr. Hagedorn defended the policy of the memorial management, which gives shelter alike to criticism and praise of the President. He said that the real figure of Roosevelt was too heroic to be damaged by such disparagements as have developed, and that writers who have taken Roosevelt to task have found that_their reputations suffered more than did that of the President. The first ‘President of the Uhited States and detalls of his private life were discussed before the meeting by Charles Moore, author of “The Family Life of George Washington.” Mr. Moore read a hitherto unpublished let- ter from George Washington to an acquaintance designated as a “Mr. Armstrong,” in which the President ad- vised his friend regarding a_medical school for the latter's son. President Washington deplored the fact that a iarge number of young men were “so MATERIAL New Material at Low Prices and Quick Delivery 3—Branches—3 MAIN OFFICE-6™ & C.Sts, S.W. CAMB MEIGS-5 & Fla.

George Washington, Mr. ‘Moore said, cautioned his friend against a hasty choice, but declined to recommend any specific college for the young man in question. Urges 1932 Observance. Referring to the wisdom and fore- | sight, which had guided the first Presi- dent in counseling those around him, both in public and private life, Mr. Moore called attention to the coming 200th anniversary celebration of Wash- ington's birth, and urged his listeners to be present at the observance to be held here in February, 1932. Mr. Moore praised the initiative and ability of the commission which has the celebration in charge and expressed confidence that it would be one of the most successful in_the history of the country.. Returning to the early family life of Washington, as gathered from a study of every possible record, Mr. Moore said he believed implicitly in the truth of the cherry tree episode, so popular with succeeding generations of Americans. Mr. Moore said there was a close bond of understanding between young Washington and his father and that it would have been a natural act on the part of the son to make a full and frank confession of his misdeeds, be- cause he knew he would find a sym- pathetic confessor. Eric Kelly Speaks. Another spcaker at this morning's session was Eric Kelly, a Dartmouth College professor, and winner of the as- sociation’s award for the best book for children. ‘The highlight of yesterday’s meeting was a conference of the association's committee on library co-operation with the Hispanic peoples. The principal address was made by Ambassador Da- vila of Chile, who expressed the hope that by arranging for a constant and scientific change of data on our printed output, our countries may get to know FURNITURE | for 63 years We Furnished Your Grand- father's Home Let Us Fur- nish a Home for You 817-823 Scventh St N.W. “Homefurnishers Since 1866 Seventh Street S oMETHING always happens | each other beter tn the field in which we know each other the least. Another South American diplomat to address the meeting was Dr. Enrique Olaya, Minister of Colombia. “A ' better knowledge of divergent opinions would be of better importance | |to continental ~ understanding and | peace,” Dr. Olaya declared. He ‘advocated closer relations between the United States and Latin America and cited as one of the best means of effecting this a free interchange of good books between thé countries. |~ The anuual three-day convention of the special library association closed last night at the National Press Club | With a program of speeches led by Sen- | ator Capper of Kansas and Frederic J. Haskin, Washington newspaper man. Senator Capper defended the Senate against its public critics and suggested that the librarians could do mufch <o | foster respect for the lawmaking bodies | of the United States. Modern Facilities Shown. Contrasting the meager facilities of- fered by libraries in the small public schools of 20 years ago with those now enjoyed by modern institutions, Edith A. Lathrop, assistant specialist in rural education, the United Sates Bureau of Education, this afternoon related to the school libraries section the gist of her long observation relative to the devleop- | ment of school libraries over the country. | The speaker cited the instance of a | school where she was a teacher 20 years ago, which was then thought to pro- vide adequate educational advantages for 250 pupils. “In one corner of the principal's of- fice,” the educator continued, “was a bookcase which held the school's éntire library, although this was suplemented slightly through a small public library in"the town. Yet this school was ac— credited by the North Central Associa- tion of Colleges and Secondary Schools, and its library facilities met the stand- ard of the association at that time. “Last Fall I visited a typical high school of the smaller class and found it equipped with a large, well-lit library quarters centrally located in the main building. The students at this school had the advantage of doing their read- ing under a competent librarian and the books and periodicals were adequate for their needs.” The speaker stressed the fact that librarles are as important as labora- tories and gymnasiums and that li- brarians are as helpful in guiding the students as instructors in other branches of school work. She said that the library standards for small high schools have been raised steadily for 20 years, although limited building funds was hampering this growth in many communities. Speaker From California. Other speakers before the school library section which met at the Wil- lard Hotel included Marjorie Van Dusen of the Belmont High School, Los Angeles, Calif., chairman; Edith L. Cook, School of Library Science of the Western Reserve University of Cleve~ land, and Harriet A. Wood, library division, State department of education, Minnesota. Other meetings which occupied the 2,700 delegates after the morning’s gen- eral session were a group of conferences of the American Association of Law Libraries at the Washington Hotel and the college and reference section at the Library of Congress and the Music Auditorium. The committee on library extension was to meet at the audito- rium also the trustee section of the American Library Association. ‘Several other group meetings will be held tonight in various Washington ho- tels. The final general session of the convention is set for 10 otlock Satur- day morning at the Auditorium, with F. P." Keppel, president of the Carnegie Corporation of New York, New York City, leading the speaking program. Others who will address the meeting in- clude Everett Dean Martin, the People's Institute, New York City. At this time the committee on resolutions and the committee on elections will present their reports to the convention. Substitute for ;fin Can Wanted. Efficiency engineers view with alarnt the great amount of valuable material which is wasted in the tin cans which primarily contain food products of one kind or another and which find their way to the dump. The amount of tin represented is very considerable and should be put to better use. Conse- Qquently there is a call for something which will be a substitute for the tin can. The requirements are that the understudy should be light and of cheap production. 'HE man or woman who buyr low-priced articles is always Truck Delivery to all points within 100 miles MAYER & CO.
