Public Library Today.
Tbe publie library today like other
institutions, ia tbe result of a long evo
lution. Since tbe invention of char;
alters to express ideaa and things there
have been eolletions of books brought
together, but before tb 18tb century
these collections were simply store
houses of books, an instrument not for
the' diffusion of knowledge, but for
Its conservation. A store boose to
preserve these Sae red volumes from
destruction, not to make them, avail
able for tbe student; not a public li
brary, as we understand the word,
people, for tb people, of the people,
Today, a collection of books of tbe
people, by the people, for the people",
but established in court and palace as
part of the royal poscssions; such were
the tnseribefl t,ncjcs, round in rows ana
tiers of shelves unler t lie sands of the,
Assyrian desert, the royal library of
Astcrbanipal and his succeHsora; such
were the rolls and tablets of Greece
and Rome. Then came tbe- collections
clustering about an educational insti
tution as the dome what mythological
one at Alyexendria, the collections of
the monasteries, and of the ancient uni
versities of tbe continent and tbe Brit
ish Isles. ' -
Franklin tbe Pioneer.
The idea of a library for tbe people,
not for one clans alone, but for nil, for
the rich andthe poor alike, was due to a
a man of Pennsylvania, Benjamin Fran
lia. In bis philosophic brain was con
ceived tbe thought of a public library
for tbe diffusion of knowledge, a li
brary wher men at large might gather
for study, for research, for comparison,
so that they might become capable of
elf direction and better fitted for
civil and political independence. Frank
lin was as ready to execute as sagacious
to plan, and in 1732 was established th-3

Franklin called it; the mother of all
subscription libraries. f
It is usual to look upon the late
movement by which libraries came to be
supported by taxation as marking the
beginning of the modern public library.
In one sense this is correct, but when
one considers ' tit truly democratic
spirit in which this first subscription
Jbrary was organii?It that .people for
the many, not for , the few, to provide
.books, not for those of comparative
leisure and ease of circumstance, but
for those, who, in ordor to obtain books
to any extent, must associate them
selves together, that : one' recognizes

PUBLIC LIBRARY
lin's library has grown into tbe public
library of today.
The library Company. .
2 The Library Company, of Philadel
phia was the precurser of similar li
braries in the eastern cities. Tbe
Lyceum Lecture System which bad its
bt-ydey during the '40 's and '50 'a Ud
directly in many places to the organi
zation of library associations on a pop
ular basis with fees so small that they
seemed to exclude none. This diffus
sion of culture engendered "a desire
among the educated classes to see tbe
means of culture placed, at tbe com
mand of all alike.
It was borr.e ia upon the mind of
thoughtful men that the means of edu
cation must be within th$ grasp of all
or the body! politic would suffer, for, If
one,., member of the : body suffers, all
rr era bersv suffer with it, to borrow a
phrase. Tbey recognized that in the
education of the citizen was tbe safe
ty of the state, and so the publie li
brary, as a1 state supported institution,
was added to th? publie sebool. It was
supposed at first that a small fee
would deter no one from membership
but the experience of the library r.s-so.-iations
proved the fallacy of that
opinion; they did not secure as mem
bers those tbey most wish?d to see. with
in their doors, and it was soon evident
that a library, to do its bestwork in
the coiumunity, must be as free to all
as any oth-r publie institution as free
as the city park, a the publie bath, as
the eleetri lighting system which il
luminate the darkest night for rich
and ir, cultivated and ignorant,
alike. !
First Public Library. 1
The first public library, according to
the modern sen.", was established in
the city of Boston in 1847.
The Legislature agreed during that
winter that Boston might lay a 'tax up
on her citizens to establish and main
tain a public library. This was prob
ably the first library legislation the
world bad ever seed. In 1851 other
cities and towns demanded like permis
sion, and tbe law was made general.
Thirty years after this first legisla
tion in Massachusetts nearly every
Northern state had taken similar ac
tion, and it is not too much to say that
library, progress since that time has
been ,greater than any other, except
scientific discovery and mechanical
invention.
In 18." there were in tbe United
Htates Mi libraries, agregating some
thing ovr 2.000,000 volumes; in 1901
there were M00 libraries, aggregating
over 4G.UOO.000 volumes, and owning
property valued at more than $60,000,
000, anil th. growth continues.
The Boston Library.
The Boston library has been from the
first an object lesson which other com
munities were glad to study. Conceiv
ed on the broadest lines, it took its
place at once as an essential factor in
tbe civic life. Let me quote from a
letter of Mr. George Tiekner, written
to Edward Kverett in 1851, both men to
whose judgment and far seeing policy
1VP Large stcrcs la P
us a fev yecks mere.
the sneeesa of the library waa largely
dne: ; - ' - ' T .
I would establish, a literary wbieh
differs from all f res libraries yet at
tempted; I mean one ia whieh ay
popular books tending to moral and in;
telleetnal improvement ball be fur
nished rn soeb numbers of eopies that
many persons ean be reading tbe same
book at the same time; in short, that
not only the best book of all aorta, bat
tbe pleasant literature of tbe day, shall
be made aeeessible to the whole people
when tbey most eare for it; that is,
when it ia fresh, and new. . I would
thus, by following the popular taste
unless it should demand sometning in
jurious create a real appetite for
healthy : reading, f Thia appetite, onee
formed, wiU take eare of itself.' It
will, in a great majority of eases, de
mand better and better bookSL"
- M.r Everett and J other ' equally
l thoughtful and puble spirited men,
doubted the wisdom of this principle,
but, fortunately, it prevailed, and fs
the basis of the free library of ' today,
Today,' too, we can see more clearly its
wisdom, and the publie library grow-
ing upon these lines has becone an m
jstitution wbieh every community onee
enjoying its advantages has been will-
ing to support as cheerfully and with
as much pride m it nu toe puDiie
sebbol. ;
I Id Addition in this state snrnort. no
other publie object baa attracted tbe
gifts and bequest of the wealthy aa
ihas this., Boston has been constantly
aided by private munificence, in tbe
erection of its magnificent building adn
in the purchase of books, and in nearly
all our towns and cities the fund from
taxation has been augmented by similar
gf ts, sometimes eovering the entire
eost of the building, making tbe library
a free gift to the people; sometimes by
the purchase of special classes of books,
sometimes by aid in undertaking plans
for the furtherance of library useful
ness. " All this brings it about that the
publie library in an intelligent am
bitious community becomes the eenter
of educational effort, maintained by
the collaboration of tbe rich and poor,
the educated and the uncultured. In
pursuit of the highest ends, can it be
that the solution of some of the vexed
social questions of the day may b
found within its walls!
State Library Iws.
' The next step in tbe public library
movement was tbe passage of state
library laws. In 1835 laws for the
establishment of district : school librar
ies were passed in Sew York state,
a scheme which promised well, bat
proved unfortunate, the school district
proving a small unit for library work.
This legislation hampered New Tork,
and kept her behind tbe other states
in literary development for many
year.
The next experiment took the town
as a unit and tbe passing of law en
abling towns to establish and main
tain libraries by taxation. In 1847
New Hampshire passed a law of this
character, Massachussets followed in
151, Fains in 1854, Vermont in 1865,
Ohio in 1M7, and after 170 the move
ment beeams general.
Illinois has tbe best law of this
kind on a sliding scale,' permitting
towns to tax themselves two mills on a
dollar, cities over ten thousand one mill
and the largest cities one-fifth of a
mill. Tbe Oregon law I before amend
ment allowing in all communities only
one-fifth of a mill made tbe maintain
anee of libraries in small towns utterly
prohibitive. In Portland we found all
development stopped by lack of money
to cany out our plans, until the in
creased tax from the county added to
our fond. Tbe library law also us
ually provides for the appointment of
the board of directors, terms of ser
vice, rendering of tbe annual report,
ana matters of like detail.
This state law is a permissive law
merely.
.The next step was tbe passing of
laws looking to direct eneouragment
and assistance of libraries by tbe state.
This kind of a law prevails in some
twenty-two or twenty-three states.
Tbe first law of this kind" was passed
oy AiassachunKets in J8JH).
Tbe first annual report of the com
mittee contained a history of all the
publie libraries in tbe state, with illus
trations of the library buildngs. Every
town was listed in alphabetical order,
and after those having no public li
brary was tbe crisp announcement:
"Thh town has no public library."
Ureat ; interest was excited through
out the state by this report. Cfcrie
pride was aroused, and the next year
saw the founding of thirty-six libraries.
In :182 only fifty-three of tbe 352
towns of Massaebtumet. were without
public libraries, and today there is not
one. ..:
Libraries differ in the various states
widely in methods, but their common
aim is to inspire communities with a de
sire for library service, to foster and
encourage libraries already established,
to simplify methods of administration.
and to act as an agency for tbe appli
cation or public spirit and private
bounty in the direction of library in
terest, '..'t;'. j
It'is rather interesting to note that in
! spite of this state aid few libraries owe
tbeir existence to deliberate adoption
of it. Most of tbem have grown up
from humble beginnings. An associa
tion is formed; a small fee b charged,
books will be criven and tbe librarian
Kyill be a volunteer servitor. In a few
years, tb library baa become a power
in tbe community, demanding better
quarters and better service. The coun
cil is petitioned, and tb books are pre
sented to;tbe town, provided it will as
sume control and future expenses. Such
a proposition baa seldom been rejected
by an intelligent community. If tbe li
brary has won its way into tbe hearts
of the people they will be ready to un
dertake its support on condition of 'its
becoming pnblie propertr. .
I never bear of a small beginning of
this kind without thinking of that win
try day many, many years ago, when
few Connecticut clergymen, clad in
meagre black, eaeb with a, well worn
volume under hi arm, met together and
solemnly laid the foundation of Yale
College library,, now one of the best
and largest of New England libraries.
No state aid is an excellent thing,
but don't wait for state aid. ' If ron
want a library, start it.
Small Beginning, y -It
was not long after publie libraries
were under way that the need mi felt
for co-operation aad the help that ex
change of thought and discussion of
plans misrbt give., ; I H33 the first
meeting far this purpose was held in
New York City. Fifty three person
were in attendance as though one re
sponded for each year f tbe century.
Tbe meeting was so interesting and so
successful that it seems incredible that
Is committee appointed for tbe pur
pose should not have called a meeting
for tbe following year, dh so Hap
pened and the project was not devel
oped for manv year later.
In 1876 the Centennial Exposition
gave an impetus to all good works and
largely through tbe effort of Mr. TJre-
loit Dewey, then librarian at Amenerst
College, tbe- national association of li
brarians bad its birth. Tbe first meet
ing was held in Philadelphia during the
summer of 1876. Justin Winsor was its
first president and Mr. Ureloit Dewey
acted as secretary for the first .year.
Since that time the conference baa met
yearly- ia different part of the coun
try. In 1877, twenty-one 'librarians
went to England and thir visit result
ed in the organization of the L. A.
U. K. ln 1897 a second conference was
held in England. C i '
In the meetings of the A. I. A.. oa
object is constantly kept ia view, the
co-operation among libraries n the in
terest of better and more economical
administration, looking to a. more effic
ient and satisfactory service of tbe
public, ; -
Subjects Diacnaaed.
Among tbe subjects usually discuss
ed are; Th best library legislation;
how to further the establishment f
libraries in every community; library
buildings; tbe wise selecton of books;
the best methods of cataloguing . . and
classification; library records and book
keeping, and, above all, the education
al and missionary features of library
work, the reading the young people
through the schools and the older peo
ple by means of traveling libraries,
branches and - delivery stations. Per
haps Its work may be sammed up in its
motto: "The best reading for the
least eost". You ean readily ee what
an inspiration it is to a community to
have thia body of earnest and experi
enced men and women meeting witbra
its boundaries.
Practical Value.
I have had the privilege, since 1
have been in library work of attending
three of these .conferences, and 1 can
speak for their' practical value as well
as the stimulus to enthusiasm and en
ergies. Wherever the A. I. A. goes
great interest is excited, people inter
sted in good citizenship wake up to
tbeir opportunities, feel tbe foree of
example and argument, act upon it and
libraries naturally follow; Boon tbe des
ert blossom like. the rose.
Conditions in Portland.
We are very fortunate here in the
Northwest that tbis national body of
librarians is to visit us next 'summer.
and I can promise that yon will none
of you regret it if yon set aside now
those few days next July for a visit to
Portland. 1 want every man and wo
man interested in the library work, ev
ery man and woman interested in tbe
educational growth ef our state, to be
present at those meetings. lie cannot
fail to retarn home inspired, strengthen
ed in his conviction and filled with an
Indomitable purpose to give to Oregon
tbe advantages whiih other states are
blessed witn.
Need of Libraries.
We -do so need libraries in Oregon.
Think of tbis vast country with its
scattered population; think of the need
for books; there should be a library in
every town in Oregon and every li
brary should be a center: should have
under its care tbe surrounding' eoun
try, so that every small, settlement
should have its box of good books
books to relieve thte deadly dullness of
a treadmill life in the pursuit of bread
and butter and sometmes of little else;
books to inspire, to warn, to encourage;
book to provide this reading crele and
that wth material for the winter's
work and thought; books to help tbe
young people n tbe schools, to put a
little life and color into their text
books, to illuminate tbe pages of his
tory and geography; books that will
arouse tbe ambition of tbe restless boy
and discover .for him that be has a
turn for meehanes or electricity; books
that wll broaden the 1 thought of tbe
minister and the ; teacher; books that
will so add to tbe culture of the com
munity that the work of the minister
and teacher will be lightened seven
fold, for we all' know how bard it ia to
pont the Way, tbe Truth, the Life, both
in spirtnal and mental tbings'to those
whose opportunte have been so re
st ricted.
Tho! of na who have been reared in
a world of books, have no conception,
I snppose, except as our sympathies
help us, of how dreary life must be
without them. People are pouring into
Oregon. Tbey are building up the
towns, tbey are opening up tbe coun
try; it is a long, expensve journey,
many are bringing little with them;
they are comng without books and thy
are finding no books here. Their
children are the coming citizens of our
state, many of tbem are far from
schools, very few of them will ever go
beyond the grades in their studies; few
er yet beond the high school. We
must -depend upon borne education, it
is after all the foundation of all edu
cation. : Our strong- urea have always
come from the country, ; With a few
good book in tbe home of each fam
ily we need not fear for the future.
Horns Field Work.
Hut while we are thinking of these
lonely ramblers, these distant i mining
settlements, we must not forget that it
is the wisdom of charity to begin at
home. I hope tbe next time I tone
to Salem I may congratulate you upon
your model public- library. ; Never
mind if you haven't a building -a
building is a useful adjunct, but yo
ean have a library without it; books,
and the right handling of tbem con
stitute a library. I,
A library cannot fail of support if it
bears tbe welfare of tbe people in mind.
Buy tbe books tbe people need, select
such children's literature that a care
ful mother may send her small daught
er down to the children's corner, freely,
without fear. Buy live books of ad
venture for the boys. You must com
pete with the shocking staff sold at
newsstands, for boys will read. "Boy a
few up to- date books that win help
along tbe ambitious workman; lie will
come and use tbem and your town will
be the gainer for it.

The line of prosecution has changed.;
The old, dry story of geography, thati

has given way to a story of the busi

life of the defendants; where tbey have
been together, what they have done and
what relation each bears to the other in
business and private life will be the

Tbe effort of the defense today was'
directed towards easting a cloud of

little was accomplished in the way of
breaking down testimony. '

Andrew Carnegie said recently at a

"I think tbe free public library main
tained by the people is fruitful in the
extreme, because it gives nothing f i
nothing, because it help only those
who help themselves, because it does
not sap tbe foundation of manly inde

because it stretches a band to tbe aspir
