Library \ Work Intereating :
Variety and. interest characterize the
work of the professional librarian, accord-

York Public Library, who spoke in Pem-

She said that democratic and. widespread
in its influence, the librafy served men
without regard to their creed or race... Ref-
erence work, cataloguing, executive or chil-
dren’s work are some of the branches of
the profession. A stall library calls for
all these things. “The great advantage of
.the -work,” she declared, “is the compan-
ionship of books; it’s drawback, until recent

ever, things have been improving ‘and the
salaries now compare favor owen with those
of other professions.” s a work devel-

surgeon makes them reveal the positions. of the bones of the
body. Moseley proved that all atoms are built up of the
same kind of matter. He saw, too, just why an atom of
copper is different fromi an atom of gold.
