Of the generality of publi§ library pa- frons, it is doubtful if it has ever occurred to more than a small minority that the presence of the young women in the libra- rles who so carefully, promptly and courte- ously serve them is due to something mor than good fortune or influence, or that the Fequirements of their positions exceed those possible to the average young woman; that there 1s something more to their work than & famillarity with the location and classifi- cation of the books and the system of Keeping track of them, or that thelr gen- eral information concerning the various authors and their works is anything more than one might acquire from dally handling the books.

BRANDEIS & SON of a library assistant, the prime essential being a liking for people and a willingness and desire to serve and please them. Also to have some idea of the real meaning of library work and to look upon a library as an educational institution. The time has been, and not so very long ago, elther, that these qualifications, to- gether with a falr education, would have sufficed. It was only the librarian who had need of any special education or train- ing, the assistants needing chiefly to be familiar with the system in use in the particular library, for, in the main, each institution was governed by a system of its own. Even the training advantages of the librarians were limited, for previous to the establishment of the library schools their chlef help was gained from confer- ences, at which library matters were di cussed and by which they profited accord- that may wish them, they being equally us tul to all. In most of these schools chief attention is given to tralning for free circulating Iibrary work, as such institutions far ex- ceed all others in number. Special atten- tion has always been given to cataloguing and classifying, as they were among the fow things so formulated that they can be taught; and, being the most technical work, are considered the most important, but with experience a change is takls place and there is a growing tendency to place greater stress upon the development of those qualities which enable the work- ers to meet and deal with the public, these positions promising in the mear future to be of most importance. Supply and Demand. Naturally the question arises whether with the establishment of training schools ing to their abllity to absorb and carry beck the discussion to their own staffs. ‘Within the last few years the prepara- tion for library work has been entirely revolutionized; the growth of the work has created new demands and the schools that have resulted have, in turn, established a common system and raised the standard for its maintenance, until the requirements of the present day library employe are so manifold that but a small per cent of the aspirants attain them. College Training Essentin The first essential and the basis of all preparation must be the ability to meet and sorve the public pleasingly and to this must be added a thorough education. John O. ‘Dana, librarian of the Newark (N. J.) Pub- lic lbrary, has sald: “The chief thing needed to raise library work to a real pro- fesslonal standard is insistence on sound scholastic tralning as necessary to admis- sion to library and school allke.” And it promises’ to be but a short ti until col- lege training will be a requisite prelim- inary to entrance to a library school or any other preparatory course for library work. Among the best known schools for I- brary tralning are the New York State Li. brary echool at Albany, the Illinols State Library school at Champaign, Ill.; Pratt in- stitute at Brooklyn, Drexel institute at Philadelphia and the summer schools at Madison and Iowa Oity. College training is necessary to entrance at the Albany school, while out of about 110 applicants to which the entrance examina- tion of Pratt and Drexel institutes 1s open only twenty are selected and permitted to take the two. years' training which comsti- tutes the course. The Illinois school also gives a two years' course, but requires two years' college tralning and an entrance ex- amination. There are also tralning classes fn many of the large libraries, where from three to six apprentices are given training in prac- tical library work without compensation, aside from the experience they gain. The summer schools, while not so par- ticular regarding the previous edueation of students, admit only those Who have had some library training, and, while, of course, thelr summer courses do mot prepare fin- ished librarians, the experlence gained from their six weeks' work, added to previous ex- perience, is of great value. Work Closely Systematized. 80 systematized has the library work be- como that the various schools inctude prac- tically the s training courses wn cata- loguing, reference work, children’s work and bibliography and in addition to these Ii- |braries are visited that the studemws may Lecome famillar with their general, pre tical work. This has resulted in tablishment of a common system among the larger and best libraries, so that what bene- fits one benefits all. This is illustrated in the fact that the Congressional Ibrary in issuing its catalogue cards prints them in sufficient numbers 10 supply other Hbraries | and the increase in their attendance the supply of trained library workers will mot soon exceed the demand. There promises to be little danger of this, however, at least for some time to come, owing to the extension of library work through the Carnegle benefactions and the stimulus that they have been to others. At present the supply is quite inadequate to meet the demand and the constantly increasing re- quirements of those who enter the schools will have a tendency to keep thelr number small, The majority of the employes of the Omaha Public Ifbrary have had training in some of the summer schools and so far this bas been sufficient, but with the work constantly increasing there is a demand in the city for & library training class to sup- ply workers for the. Omaha library and those that are increasing out in the state. This will probably be considered during the coming year, with & view'of establish- ing such & clase, —_— PRATTLE OF THE YOUNGSTERS.

TRICKS TRIED BY POLICY HOLDERS Vain Endeavors to Realise on the Promise of the Company Pay Cash in Certain Contingenel Long ago & wise man said that very tew tell the truth about their owu @llments, and that those who can, won't, Representatives of that modern institu- tion, the accident insurance company, are inclined to accept the declaration one of absolute truth. They have learned that it takes a very honorable man, indeed, to consider him- self no sicker or no worse hurt than he really is when such imagining means dol- lars to him, and they have made the fur- ther unpleasant discovery that the ills of the flesh, or the bruises thereof, are not infrequently abetted by a merve that is better developed than the conscience. If this conclusion seems too harsh, let the doubting reader quiz some of these representatives concerning instances in point, and he will learn that the com- panies are constantly besleged by con- sclenceless individuals who need money, sometimes for good and sometimes for bad purposes, and that it is only the old rule that “mmrder will out,” together with Sherlock Holmes' scrutiny of details, that keep insurers from being imposed upon daily and hourly, Surprised, too, will this doubter be when he is shown the extent to which some persons will go in order to secure money by fraudulent method. Ruse that Fail For instance: At Lincoln, mot so many months ago, & man deliberately thrust his left foot beneath a moving freight train and had his toes crushed. When the doc- tors announced that they could save the foot, except its toes, he gtrenuously ob- jected and begged them to amputate the member above the ankle. Thi roused some suspicion, and when it w found that his policy entitled him to nothing it the entire foot was not lost, the com- pany began inquiry, with the result that the fireman was discovered to have seen the man deliberately approach the train and stick his foot under the wheels. The fyeman's testimony was all that saved the insurance company that time, but ordinarily it is the conspirator's own omis- sipn that betrays him. A man with many clothes that were not paid for and consid- erable property that was under mortgai went riding one evening on Military avenue. His horse took fright at a white sign on o fence and leaped to one side. The saddle turned and the gentleman was thrown off onto his shoulder, injuring it =0 badly that he had scarcely strength to walk to a dairy- man’s barn and send for his doctor. That’ what he told, but when he presented his bill the company informed him that both the owner of the barp and the doctor had testi- fled that the saddle had been straight on the animal's back when they first saw it and he found it so difficult to explain, on short notice, bow a saddle could turn suffi- clently to dismount a rider and still be up- right on the horse's back that he abruptly withdrew the claim. Another man with more horses than ready money reported that one of his animals had tramped on him while he was moving through the berd in & pasture rented from & tarmer. He showed & bad looking foot and the claim might have been allowed ecau de soie, 69¢ a yard. ‘‘Haskell” peau de cygne, 79¢ a yard, One lot of h goes Monday One lot of ful bargain for, The lot in- 280 round thread, dozen, go at, 75c¢c with napkins cheap at $5.00, o at, set ....

The man had hammered his foot with a fence post, wielded as in tamp- ing earth. Trick with Twine in It. Honest Hezekiah and Upright Urlah are neighbors out in Fremont county. About two months before Honest Hezeklah's accl- dent policy (the gift of a man who didn't know him, and therefore liked him), ex- pired, Honest Hezekiah was shot in the leg by a trap gun set on Upright Urlah's prem- isee. The insurance company’s agent, who is resident in Omaha now, took the stout cord that had attached to the trigger and asked for some like it at Upright Uriah's house. The unsuspecting hired man said there had never been any such twine on the place. But the agent found a ball of it in Honest Hezeklah's own barn, and it didn't take much talking to get a confession from Honest Hezekiah and Upright Urlah that they had planned the thing together, Urlah to have a small part of the policy payment for setting the gun on his premises where Hezekiah could fall as its victim when con- ventent. It was perhaps a relative of these bung- lers who drove a nall a short way into his hand from the back and then from the palm, asserting that it accidentally had been driven’ clear through. The doctor probed and discovered that the bones were unpunc- tured. The company gave the claimant a derisive laugh and & warning to be more painstaking hereafter. Rather Transparent Effort. But & more amusing experience than this was one In which a German dairyman lv- ing near Davenport, Ia., figured. It is re- ported and vouched for by the mgent who handled the case there, but who is now in Omaha. He said: “In Davenport everybody and everybody" ocousin drinks beer, so that Fritz found his cows' article of manufacture not much in demand. He determined to get money by an easier route and took out accident in- eurance. A month afterward I was sent out to his place in response to notification that he had fallen from a boat into the river and disappeared. When I got there his hat was belng shown in evidence as the only relic. But on it was pinned a note saying: ‘I di acidentle, Fritz H—.' Then I remembered that he had been particular to inquire about the clause that stipulated that death must be accidental or the policy could mot be collected onm, and I thought 1 saw what Fritz was up to. Nor was I wrong in my surmise, for within an hour I traced him to his own haymow, where he was hiding until his wite could collect.” But attempts to felgn destruction are, agents say, very rare because In these days of coromers and electric lights it is s0 hard to dispose of a body, either quick | or dead. And attempts at actual sulcide under guise of accldental death are still rarer. Whenever they are made they are by the polson or the drowning route and both are so terrifying to contemplate that he is only a crazed man who can bring himself to them—and a crazed man fsn't considering insurance. Fire Works a Miracle. Sprains are the favorite complaints of persans who hold accldent insurance policies, but no jobs. The fal and the true are sometimes separated by making emergency tests. For instance, an idle man had injured himself sadly by attempt- ing to lift too much and he was in bed unable to ‘stir. The Insurance company's agent called and managed to drop a lighteq cigar into a-basket of waste paper in the front room as he p an excited maid rushed into the room where without guestioning bad not the doctor dls- | the sufferer lay and announced that the | house was on fire. The poor, crippled ta- | valta was out of bed instantly and dancing about with buckets of water in his hands. | The agent smiled and withdrew, saying: | “You are so completely and suddenly re- covered, Mr. H., that to longer talk of in- surance s obviously unnecessary.” Mr. H. never pressed his claim. Accldent insurance Is somewhat fad- dish, too. After the papers printed the stories of the heavy insurance that Pad- erewski carried on his fingers whilo tour- ing this country, the lesser musical lights made a rush to do the same and theatrical performers fell in line, too, to & certain extent. A danseuse on the Orpheum clr- cult called at the local office of a New York company and wished to take out a policy on her dancing extremities. A singer of note got $1,000 when she bit her tongue, because, for & month, she was un- ble to sing. Classification of Ris Such losses as these are, of course, on special contract policles. There are a dozen different classes of accident insur- ance policies issued by each of several different companies and the grouping un- der each head is somewhat heterogenous. For instance, the Select risks include apothecaries and architects, retired army officers and studio painters, assessors and attorneys-at-law, bank clerks and book agents not traveling in the country, conm- cert singers and newspaper writers. A boarding house keeper is a Preferred risk and an auctioneer is a Special Preferred. Physiclans in asylums or practicing in the country are Extra Preferred. Army o cers In camp or barracks are Ordinary risks, but on campalgn are not insurable at all. Nelther are professional base ball players nor racing cyclists insurable in most companies. A farm boss not work- ing 18 classed as an Extra Ordinary risk. The Medium class {s very broad and In- cludes everybody from jallers, dairymen, constables and cofin makers to cab driv- ers, bar tenders and attendants of insane. Chimney sweeps and circular, sawyers are Extra Medium. Electric wire linemen are Hasardous; buzs sawyers and moulding machine operatives are Extra Hazardous; tower light carbon trimmers are Special Hazardous, switchmen and yardmen are insured by special contract. Afd a most unfortunate feature of it all is that the men who take the greatest risks and who, therefore, have to pay most for thelr insurance, are those whose sal- ary, in the majority of c is the small- est. For instance, a raliroad man must pay as much as three doctors to be insured at all and cannot carry so high a policy even if able to pay for it. Men in real danger seldom felgn hurts and the frauds are largely perpetrated by people in much better circumstances. The “loading up” trick which was on such an annoyance is much abated since the insurance companies established thetr clearing houses, where all names are reg- istered when insured and all companles thus kept informed.
