We are justlv proud of our lil)rary. Although if it is compared with many hhraries we could hardlv call it large, yet it. is of ample size for our school and serves its purpose very efficiently. We have close to five thousand ])ound yolunics on the shelves besides several thousand magazines and pamphlets. Thirty-five of the better class of magazines and periodicals are subscribed for. r ll books are cataloged according to the universally used A. L. A. rules and classified under the Dewey Decimal Svstem. The library is under the supervision of Professor Schmale as chief librarian. The detailed management is under three Seniors who superintend all the various phases of cataloging, classifying, circulation, etc. Sev- eral students are chosen each vear from the lower classes as permanent librarians and these systematically carry on all work connected with the library and in the course of a few vears become very proficient librarians. This system affords a number the opportunity of becoming more closely ac(|nainted with books and library administration. During this school year the watchword has been greater efficiency and as a result the library has served its i)uri)ose admirabl). . notber large book stack has been added to accommodate the raj.idlv increasing shell list, over eight hundred books being ad.led this past year. A lu-u magazine rack aim file and also a museum case have been added to the e(|mpnieiit. The following are the librarians : Head librarians: Kaney, I ' aschen, Langhorsl. Librarians: Albrecht, I ' .loesch, Mnnstermann, Aleck. I ' d. Koch, S.blnndt, Richardt, llrnsekros.
