When Hie traveling library shall havo

I'Iio law provides that the commission
shall obtain each year from alt libraries
In the state reports showing the conditions,
Krowth, development and manner of con-
liictlni? said libraries, tiwther with such
other facts and statistics as may be deemed
public Interest.
' The cointulsHlon shall, when asked, Klve
advice and Instruction to all libraries or
Individuals ami to all communities which
may propose to establish libraries, as to
Hid best means for establlshini' and or-
Kani.itiK and ailmlnlstertiiK Hiich libraries,
IcclltiK and eatalnuuliiK books, and other
lutloH of library tunnnKcn.cnt.

pense members of olllcers to aid In ort?an

It will be seen from this that the com
mission Is Int-Miili'd to be a central clearing
house for all kinds of library Information:
fountain fr un which library Inspiration

iHtratlVD uncut which shall be elm reed

Hold of work can save Hid various library
Interests In the state more In the iiKKre-
Kiile durltiK a terms of years than the
utlre cost of the eotninlsRlon. The time
la comliiK, nnd soon, too, when tho fnlr
state of Nebraska will be dotted over with
public libraries. It Is a phase In tho ovnltt-
tlon of Hie educational foundations upon
which this republic must rest, which will
ultimately Include Nebraska, as It Is now
spreading so rapidly over all the eastern
nml ccul nil stales.

busy men, who ennnnt rIvo more of their
time nitil strctmth than will be needed
to direct nnd supervise.
The law provides that Hie commission
may employ a secretary, nnd. If Nebraska
follows the example of other states, upon
Hint portion devolves the oarrylim out of
this work under the direct RUldanco of the
onimlsf Ion. And tmturnllv. therefore, upon
the personality of this secretary much
