SOCIETY
(Continued from Page Two)
A document of moro than common
interest for Its kind Is the biennial
purl to tho 'h'-hdature of the
state Hbr.irian of Oiom'U. In spite of
risinKs and an appropriation which
has not. grown .as lat as Us needs,
the- library b;:s carried on'an ever
incieatilug amount ot work. Nearly
half tho report is taken up with ex
tracts from letters showing Hie keen
est appreciation of Oregon's system
of loading books freely and serving
li 1 1 who suek or tin m. To uuoto
from tho report: '"Most statistics
are of little alue .xcf pt to the :;nee
iallst, but 'bo record of increasing
uip of i he library is jrral tfyiiiK, es
priiilly so, when, the library ibies
uot own nor circulate mere 'tivsh,'
and whoa the borrowers must write
lor bocks and pay the transportation
barbed on thoni."
The letters are toa loan to quote
here, but read with tho knowledge
that TlIa.HOU xolum-'s were circulated
during the blcnnium, they bring to
the mind a picture of isolated home
steads, men, wuincu and children
whose lives would bo son bare in
deed without tho 'hooks which they
can ob'ain 30 freely from tho state
library. The letters inuko the read
er realize that the state library is
one of the institutions which m iko

j.doreer conditions of undeveloped
