Where Few Can Read and Books Are
Scarce, American Develops Library
William Alanson Borden Tells of
Unique Experience in Task
Called Upon to Accomplish
in India.
Yiaharajah of Baroda, Benevo
lent Despot, Aids Lift His
People Into Higher Mental
Attitude by His Reforms.
Establishing an extensive library
vstem in a land where few could
read and where books were scarce,
was the unique task set for Will'
1am Alanson Borden.
Mr. Borden was a center of in
'erest at the meetings of the Ameri
can Library Association here be
cause of his unusual experiences
in Baroda, India, where he was en
gaged by the ruler of that country
for this work.
In this interview, Mr. Borden
joints out many of the Western
misconceptions of the Indian civil-
zation, besides giving interesting
sidelights on his unusual task.
By J. R. HILDEBRAND.
Americana frequently have Iwen called
pun to exrloro now lands, to Chris-i.-inlze
them, to govern them, to do
t-lop their commercial possibilities. But
Villlam Alanson Borden is the first man
n record who was told to so into a
tracge country, where literacy was
itiht ?nd books were lew, and develop
omj)lete circulating library system.
Looks -usually are largely read before
lie librarian is called into service at
fc Incidentally, that is one of the
omplalnts of the librarians, for they
ways have to dovetail their theories
to inconvenient, existing facts.
One fine morning live years ago there
ac laid before Mr. Borden this pros
ed to go to Baroda. India, where
hire was not the semblance of a book
Election, and there establish a com
(to chain of circulating freo libraries,
-lording to the most recent suggestions
of library experts. Mr. Borden rubbed
Is eves, and wondered whether it would
ot all turn out to be a sort of librar
ies Welsh rarebit dream.
Hut the Maharajah of Baroda meant
every word 01 it- Likewise he was
icady to produce the cash for the en-
U-rprise. Interest In this unique ex
periment will not lag one bit by
trending a few paragraphs with the
Maharajah, His Royal Highest Savnja
ao Gaekwar.
Ruler Is a Reformer.
iHome rule in about one third of In-
ia is almost oil that Ireland could
ask for. In this third Ilea Baroda, a
rinclpallty about the sire of Massachu
etts and with about two thirds of the
ay State's population. Its outside re
aliens are jeaously resricted by Great
m-ttam, out its internal auairs are con
ducted without any semblance of inter
rence. Internally the maharajah,
ke Loui XIV, could say (if he knew
-i-crich) Letat est mor , ivmcn UDer
Hlv translated, signifies ' I am the
hole works" and accurately describes
h position of the miharajali within
" borders of Boroda.
caja Rao Gaekwar Is different
crt of maharajah from any that India
er saw before. His life storv would
Mnse the strange Indian stories that
rtlon writers concoct amid wreaths
' turklsh tobacco smoke In their cosy
New York apartments But the par-
rular point In his history which af
e ts this true tory about the Baroda
brarles is that he did not succeed to
he Baroda czardom by heredity. He

was adopted by the reigning family
and thus escaped, in his very early life
the srchophantlc Influences that 6haje,
the lives of predestined rulers.
Thus it comes about that the present
ruler of Barodi Is a reformer, and a
highly practical sort of reformer, at
that. He made ono trip around ths
world in 1906. and spent most of Lis
time, while in .ho L'nlted States, in
studying American public schools. He
went back and rstounded his country
men by establishing free rchools
throughout Baroda. and by making ed
ucation compulsory. The result of thaj.
reform already has been the increase
of lltreacv in Baroda to ten pr cent
of the population, a ratio double that
of India as a whole.
Highly Intelligent Race.
"But literacy must not be confounded
with mentality." Mr. Borden warned.
"And it should be remembered that the
Hindu Is a man of high potential men
tality. The Hindu race is highly intel
ligent, as is shown by their philosophy
and their religion.
"It was a wonderful and a rar op
portunity afforded me when I was in
vited by the maharajah to introduce a
library system that should extend
throughout his state. The- offer came
alter his second visit to the United
Slates in 1510. during which he save
special attention to Horary problems.
This effer was especially significant to
a librarian, because it offered a free
field for the introduction of methods
which could not r.o St. successully ork
eid out where many libraries, under
various managements, and with various
localized methods, already existed.
"You may know that the present
tcudencv of the library Is toward cen
tralization of the book collections, with
circulating branches. This effc-cts an
-eonomv in books, and also in Hie pav
ing of "the large buildings hitherto
thought necessary for everv community
"That was the p'an on whicli I work
ed in Baroda. A large central bonk col
lection was established in the capital,
the Citv of BartMia. and In each of the
thirty-eight townships there are branch
collections. Each of these ihlrty-oignt
collections is th center of smaller li
braries still, established In every vll
lage of the principality. Of these there
are iV).
"Baroda lends itself to this sort of a
system because its people invariably as
semble in groups. Though W per cent
of the Inhabitants are engaged irf agri-
. culture, there are no isolated farm
houses. Kverj where groups of farmers
gather in groups that they may protect
! themselves against wild animaU and
wild men as well."
! Benovolent Despotism.
I Iron these innovations it may be
gathered that the present maharajah
is a wise and beneficent monarch.
"Siyaja Rao Gaekwar Is a widely
educated man, and a much traveled
man. I had a chance to know him
well, and to observe the working of his
mind. I 'have found that always, when
a matter comes before him for settle
ment, his question Is. 'How will thU
thins 'affect my people.'
"His rule is absolute. He is assisted
In administering his government by a
council of six. and by about thirty
heads of departments. He may consult
thete or not. Just as he chooses. The
present monarch frequently does con
sult them. but. after all. it is his .'cr
dict tht is effective."
This ruler's administration has been a
jieriod of marked advance in Baroda.
Child marriages are prevalent In most
eastern countries, and the American
may srrtile when he Is told that raisiiK
the legal marriageable age to twel'e
vcars meant a great advance In Ba-
roda't social life , I
Within the past decade women lave
Attained a more honoreii position in the
principality. Higher class women still
po about veiled, when they leave their
houses at all. A woman thus veiled Is
sai.: to be "in purdah " The maharani.
or quten, set the example, about two
cars ago. of "breaking purdah," and
going about much as do American
women. She frequently Is seen thuflat
Harden parties and social functions.
Many of the women of the governing
class have followed her example.
The division of Baroda's population
Into two classes, as is the case in yie
Orient, was ono handiqap Mr. Borden
hud to contend with In his library work.
This division is bo absolute that the
Marataha, of governing class, speak a
different language from that of the
Gujerata, or common people Then, too,
English is widely spoken In the towns
where English high schools have been
established, while in some villages other
tongues are common. Books are pro
vided in all these languages. A liberal
appropriation makes It possible to buy
almost anv book asked for. If It already
is not in the great central library s col
lection. Thero have been only abcut
B,(i00 books In Gujeratl. and about the
same number printed in Marataha. An
ot these have been procured, and the
rest of the collection Is in English or
In other oriental tongues.
"Eastern people often fall to realize
that the more enlightened Oriental peo
ple, such as those of Baroda, possess a
high degree of intelligence, and well de
fined moral standards. I never have
known of a case of bigamy In Baroda,
unless one custom might be so regarded.
That Is the practice occa'lonally of a
husband, who has no boys by his first
wife w ithin a reasonable period, of tak
ing a second wife. But the first wife
alwajs remains mistress of his house
hold, and the two wives live in har
mony. They appreciate the situation,
and "there is no Jealousy.
"Then. too. the Occidental is apt to
conceive of the Indian people as a sort
of heathen race. Missionaries Tent to
them often fail, or refuse, to under
stand their religion. In India thre are
rCO.non.OOl Hindus, about G1.MW.WW Mo
hammedans, about 10.000.000 Puddhlsts.
and about 3.000.000 each of Christians
and Sikhs, about 1.000.CX) Jains, and
100 ooo Parsees.
Kneli or these relicions ha nn eh-
cal basis cxactiv the same as that of
the Christian religion. Far-eeism is a
peculiarly beautiful religion These were
the folk known of old as fire worship
ers. They still believe fire symbolizes
the Deltv
"Moreover, everv ono of thes? re
ligions primarily Is monotheistic. Be
hind the veneration of ancestors, and of
lesser beingsk that bear an anology to
our saints and angels, there invariably
Is the worship of a single God."

White House chauffeurs, was running
at the rate of thirty-five miles an hour.
Johnson offered no excuse for exceed

and the name of the other occupants
of the machine, after which the ruto
