Davis, president of the Chamber of Commerce, who spoke on the library from the standpoint of the average citizen and its general helpfulness in the community, and E. II.- Wescott, who spoke on the li-; brnry in its relation to the public schools. j Mr. Davis briefly covered the his tory of the library from its start is the Y. L. R. R. A. in one of ti e rooms in the downtown section of the city where a number of the ener getic young women of the commun- . ity had gathered a number of books together an 1 placed them on the shelves for circulation among their, friends, and it was from this orga nization that, the library movement spread until a few years later a small j appropriation from the city helped : along the struggle and finally thei donation by T. E. Parmele and Mrs.; C. II. Parmele gave the library a real! home in the building at Fourth and ! Vine streets now occupied as the J. V. Hatt residence and where the li brary, fast growing, had cramped, quarters until the donation from thej srrcnt ironmaster gave it the present; fine building and the city pledged; the upkeep of the library in a fitting j manner and since which time it has be; n a great factor in the city life.) In January there were 1,631 persons j holding cards for books, in the li brary ar.d these books were read on; the average by two perrons so that; almost eighty per cent of the city was responsive to. the good work of the library. I Mr. Wescott in taking- up the school and library gave some figures that wore really surprising as show-' ing the extent to which the school depends on the library for its refer-1 enca and stuuy work. .Mr. i;ampneii,i the principal of the school, hsd tak-' 3ii a check of the high school jester-: day rnd of the attendance of 226 had found that 95 per cent were I using the library at some time of the' ser.ool year. iims represented hours a month or 3.400 hours a year that the students were using the li brary. This largely represents sup plemental reference reading. The law governing the conduct cf the public schools requires the stu dents to-do a certain, amount of ref erence, work and literary study each school year that is r.ecured through the library where otherwise the school district would have to supply the books needed at a great cost to them. In the Junior High school the at tendance as reported by Miss Anna j Ileisel, was 14 0 and of these sixty-j four per cent were miking use of the; library on an average of over five! hours per week for each pupil in the , library. I In the lowr grades the contact with the library was largely through; the loaning of books from the li brary in the lig and story books as well as the story hour, the weekly gathering of the little folks and at the last two oft which the attendance had been fromi .
