It Is one of the greatest Mwtia . educational. Institutions of v. nmntrv and Is tmrely American. It h.imi the. foreigner to become American; tt directs the reading of the child., it furnishes rooms for community meetings n A lMtunk. mort than 2000 club meet ings and lectures being given during the past year with an approximate attend ance of 14.834. It has been supplying books to the spruce camps and to hos pitals and sent 6000 Volumes to France. It has supplied, since the signing of the armistice, 3? troop vessels with books, and has been sending magazines to the ervlce men uo until the last month. It applies 63 county schools with books ; It has managed campaigns for the sol Iters' books, the- Bed Cross, War Sav- lrurs s stamps. Liberty loans, food con ervatlon and other patrlotlo activities.

It otters a training school for prospective librarians. . It , reaches out Into the community and Is oae of the greatest 'servicer agencies in the city. 'An& ; that' doesn't half ;tell . it.. Space regulations never could permit the tell ing of the real work of the library. It a too voluminous. v . t c Some of the new fields in t which the library, may, extend if. It ever gets the ', money, fields opened up since the war :and which the institution must enter If It is to compare favorably with other ' cities, have been enumerated by 'Miss Mary Frances Isom, librarian, recently returned from France. ? -? ;: ! -TtftTST PAT BETTEB SALARIES -'i W should have a sufficient number -isf persons who are trained In this par ticular line and educated, to be of as sistance to everybody, said she, "to look r;up reference questions and to give ad 'jTice upon courses of reading, and help Broun g people, even to planning their reading for pleasure.;. To do this we rnust have money to- pay the salaries. . fWe have fallen behind and we must pay , better salaries, not only to hold the people we have,, but to fill the vacancies "'created by those who have left for bet ter paying positions, with competent successors. "We must " have ' more books, f From I1Z000 to 115,000 a year looks large to the unitiated, but it does not go far in buying books for a constituency of our size, we nave a circulation of. more than 1,000.000 and should have ; twice that number. -Circulation fell off some what during the war, but it Is beginning to grow again, and next winter we feel it will swell to peace proportions and that 'there wUl I be more study, than ever. MAT CLOSE BBAXCHES ' "W should buy thousands of dollars' worth of the classics; Our books are becoming, shabby and are losing their backs. It is discouraging to our young people In school ' to have their Interest aroused hv , reading good things and when they, apply for them to be told they are out. ? The: chances' are. the boy or girl will lose their Interest. - We may have to-close our smaller branches unless we can get more books. In places where the community Is small, the books have, simply been read to pieces. BOOM TOO SMALL' The children's room is" too small. There must be some, way to enlarge it. for the children cannot be neglected, as they are the readers of the future. We need a branch In South Portland where the foreign population is so large. We have carried on much Americaniaa- tion work there: in the little room the library now occupies on the site of the old Failing school. We send letters to those who have taken out- their first papers, i. asking them to come to the library.' Then we have had parties for the Italian, Yiddish and Swedish copula Uons, bringing them together in friendly iasnion. we don't know each other well enough and - must ; break the - barriers dOWn. '. . : . "We are earer to have more. lectures of all Borts andt kinds and to have our rooms filled every nieht. The University of Oregon and Reed college furnish most or the lectures now given In the library rooms, out I hope to see the day when the library will jive a lecture course in connection with its work. f"We could do more at the different homes and institutions and want to get Into more of the factories and hospitals, so t that the time may come when the liorary - will be represented in every uuiuo la we community."

Several Innovations will mark the opening of the Portland schools next September. First of all. Superin tendent D, A. Grout expects to lay a great deal of stress upon 1 founda tional work, feeling that the funda mentals are of the highest import ance to. the student in his later life. An extensive physical education pro gram will be inaugurated ! in all the schools, accompanied . by; more outdoor exercise than has ever been given 'here tofore. : - This Is partially in compliance with the new state law, which makes physical education compulsory.' The new part time school law will also work con eiderable change- in the school program, providing fu it does that every child between 18 and 18 years, employed, must spend at least five hours weekly in the school room. This part time workiwill be i either carried on in special .classes in the day schools or In night school classes. MORE TEACHERS SEEDED "A About SO additional teachers will be employed to handle the increased school population which will be housed in sev eral colonies of .portables, in 'accordance with - Superintendent .Grout's policy : of limiting the number of -children in each room to 35. In the High School of Commerce the unit system Is to , be adopted for the first time, thus fitting a boy who can not afford to spend more than one year in school at one time, for a certain kind of job at the end Of a year. With each succeeding year he spends in the school he will receive other units of training that will fit him for a better paid posi tion. This, system has received the ap proval of J.
