LIBRARY BOOKS IN SCHOOLS
Nearly Seven Thousand Volumes in
Branches for Pupils.
DEMAND FOR THEM ENORMOUS
I'.arh Hook tion Oat Once m Week,
lilt Ins; Total Ircolntlon for
(be School Vear of
21U.3JO.
; A irrrat rampaltcn of education combined
pleasantly with entertainment Is going on
in Omaha. It is a campaign llttlo known,
but one which la brimming undreamed of
pleasure) and profit to the hearts of thou
sands of children and their parents. The
Kent of this work la the city library and
the medium through which much of it Is
. being done Is the public school and the pub
lic school children.
1 1. eighteen of the school buildings of th
city a branch library Is maintained by the
city library with an average of fifty books
I each grade. The total number of books
tn these branches Is 6,780.
TIm S.7S0 books circulated among the
ulieol children and their families by this
method are of these classes: fiction, (stand
ard authors Ilka Scott. Dickens, Dumas. 314;
Juventla fiction, S.S70; poetry and drama, 238;
essays and miscellaneous, 40; ancient clas
sics, 82; biology, S16; history, 634; travels,
494; natural history, SO"; natural science, 76
useful arts, 196; fine arts, 42; medicine and
hyglne, 4; ethics, 2; language and edu
cation, 62; polittkul and social science, IS;
religion and theology, 103; periodicals, 23.
Nothing "trashy" Is allowed to creep upon
the shelves of these branches. Thus tha
tastes of the children are moulded along
the highest lines, And yet the books are
such that they "are easily understood by
the children. Many of them are classics
told In simple language.
Demand Is Knormoos.
The demand for the books Is enormous.
It Is estimated that each volume goes out
once a week at least. This means a circu
lation of 27,040 books from the school libra
les each month. In the eight months of
the school year 216.320 volumes are taken
out.
The readers are by no means restricted to
the children. Especially Is this true among
the poorer class of people or those who
were compelled to leave the school early
In their childhood to earn their livelihood,
and to whom the delights of literature were
denied. Many touching stories come from
the schools Indicating the thirst of these
people for literature which la classic. In
many an humble home the evening is spent
In reuding aloud and It seems that this an
cient art is being revived jy reason of
twentieth century editions. The father
worn out with his day's toil, the mother
weary with her burdens, sisters and broth
ers and others alt about In the evening
while the young son or daughter who is
getting the advantages of which the others
have been denied reads aloud an Interesting
story from Dickens or Dumas or unfolds
the beauties of the legends of King Arthur
WE thank our patrons each and every one for their
part in making the past year the best we have had.
AVe wish them all

absorbing plots of Shakespeare's plays.
Most Advantageous System.
"It Is by far t.le most adVHntngeous
system we have yet devised," l;uld Mibs
Edith Tobitt, city librarian. "We tried the
branch library plan and the plan o( hav
ing branches In some of the drug stores.
But in each case the central library wat
sapped of some of Its strength in the
growth of the branches. The plan of hav
ing these books circulating from the public
schools does not take vigor from the cen
tral institution, but adds strength to It.
Moreover the system costs nothing and
the good accomplished Is evidently tha
maximum amount possible."
The report of the city library for 1"7
shows an Increase of 29,0110 in the book
circulation. The greater part of this is in
the school branches which have leaped for
ward in popularity.
Hut there are other directions In which
the city library circulation has expanded.
One of these Is In the medical depariment.
The library now has a large number of
medical hooks. Another is the branch
established recently at the Union 1'acltlc
shops. The night school there Is attended
by ninety men and boys. The books In the
shop blanch ure selected especially for
these students and bear on mechanical
subjects.
Fanorr Branch Popular.
A branch has also been established In
one of the factories of the city and more
factory branches will be started. The ex
tension secretary of the Young Women's
Christian association is co-operating with
the library in this work and will provide
for the maintenance of branches for fac
tory girls.
Miss Tobitt has stimulated the Interest
In the library in various ways. One Is a
class which sho has organized for teachers
In which instruction is given how to use
the books of the library and systematic
readings' are outlined for adults and f r
children. Another was a series of stereoptl
can lectures entitled "l-lfe In Many Iands. '
These Were begun last fall and were given
each afternoon and twice on Saturday.
They were for seventh and eight grade
children.
Another department of the library of
which the public is not generally cognizant
is the picture department. More than 9n0
pictures are circulating among the schools
of the city. Many of these are copies of
famous paintings. Others are photographs
Illustrating the manufacture of ankles,
of which cloth, for example, from the
time the cotton Is taken from the plant un
til the fabiic couu-s finished from the loom.

BROWN TELLS OF THAT VISIT
Gives Ills Version In Rrslr tn Mayor
Jliu on Washington In
terview, Elmer K. Brown, who was with Mayor
Dahlman on the occasion of his visit to the
president In Washington recently, has just
returned to Omaha, and today dictated
this statement regarding the facts In
the famous Interview:
"I was In Washington at the time of the
meeting of the national democratic com
mittee, and while there I visited the Ar
lington hotel, where I met Mayor Duhl
lnan. He Introduced me to a number of
prominent democrats and seemed to be on
as friendly relations with me as have ex
isted for the last three years.
"On Frlduy morning I called at the Ar
Ington, where I met James J. Hill, and
while talking to him Mr. Dahlman came
up and I introduced him and another man
to Mr. Illll.
"In a little while I met Mr. Dahlman
again In the rotunda and he said: 'It
us go over and see the president,' and
without any further conversation we
started out. We waited a few moments i
In the reception room and then were both
ushered in and met the president.
"The president talked a few moments,
possibly tlvo minutes. After Mr. Dahlman
and I left we visited other parts of the
White House, and from there went to my
room, after first visiting the liar, at the
Wlllard hotel. We sat in my room tifteen
minutes talking over political matters,
when we decided to visit a place known as
Shoemaker's, a saloon near the Times of
fice. While at Shoemaker's I suggested
that we call on a friend of mine, a news
paper man. We proceeded to the Times
oflice, took the elevator and went to the
editorial room, where I Introduced Mr.
Dahlman to my newspaper friends.
"Mr. Dahlman and I mentioned the mat
ter of islliiig the president, not even
thinking It was of great Importance, as
other people were In the room when Mr.
ftoosevell talked to us, and this conversa
tion with the newspaper men is where the
famous story regarding the president's at
titude on the panic originated. When wa
gave the reporter an extract of what the
president said the reporter wrote It down
In long hand, afterward reading It to us
and asking If it was correct. Mr. Duhl
uaa and I both agreed that II wan aub-
stantiai'y correct. The photographer took
a snapshot of the mayor while at the office
and we left and were together consider
ably during the day.
"Mr. Dahlman left the following day for
Omaha and I left for New York on Sun
day afternoon. Someone In Washington
had notified tho New York World that I
was to arrlvo at the Park Avenue hotel,
and upon my arrival a reporter was there
to meet me and he Informed me for the
first time that someone at the White House
had repudiated the Interview with the
president as given out by Mayor Dahlman
and myself. 1 told the reporter that the
Interview was substantially correct, also
that us thero were others In the room as
the president was talking to us, we did
not consider It a breach of confidence In
giving it out. I wired Mayor Dahlman at
Omaha that the Interview was repudiated
and that 1 would protect him In an Inter
view In the World, which I did."
Disturbed the Congregation.
The person who disturbed the congre
gation last Sunday by continually coughing
Is requested to buy a bottle of Foley's
Honey and Tar. Ail druggists.
