club had present at their
Searl S. 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

of this week. The derrick has been
completed several days and since
that time, the men have been labor

ployed at the work, four who are
employed by the oil companies and
with those owning the machinery and
two from Xehawka, James Blake and
