Partial Truth.
This story is sold of a Bmall scion of a
Presbyterian household, who had been
drilled in the shorter catechism until it
came from hie lips as glibly as the al
phabet or "two times one."
One sad and lonesome day he had
tried his mother's patience until it gave
way under the strain, and, with a decid
ed access of temper, she administered
corporal punishment to her naughty
son.
He bore his lot with such resignation
as he could muster, but that night
when his father, the minister, inquired
as to the misdemeanors of the day, his
memory seemed cloudy.
"But mother tells me she.had to pun
ish you, Harold," said the father if
you can't remember that you have been
naughty, why did she punish you?
"I think 'twas 'for her own glory,'
father," replied the sleepy little trans
gressor, and he was questioned no fur
ther that night, as the mother had a
feeling that he might not be so far
wrong in his quotation after all.
How the People Pay for "Prosperity."
While the truBts have here and there
slightly increased the wages of their
employes, they have in every instance
added several times aB much to their
own protttB, and made the people foot
the entire bill. The Emporia Times
has taken the trouble to obtain from
the merchants of that city the increase
in price of articles of necessity as com
pared with the selling price of one year
ago.
Stoves have increased 30 per cent.
Wagons have increased from four to
Qve dollars.
Copper has doubled in price.
Fourteen-inch plows that sold for $10
now sell for 814.
Hopes that sold for 5 cents a pound
now sell for 12 cents.
A common stove pipe sold for 10 cents
npw it goes at 20 cents.
Bolts and rodB have gone up 75 per

Tin has increased from $1.50 to 32 a

Cultivators have increased from three
to four dollars.
Hoes, forkB, rakes, shovels, spades
and all such articles have gone up to
the consumer 45 per cent.
Nails per keg, from $2.20 to 94,10.
Barbed wire, galvanized,' from $2.40

REPORT OF PROCEEDINGS
Of the Annual Ueeting of The Iowa
State Library Association, Held
at Cedar Bapids, Novem
ber 8 and 9, 1890.
The following report by Mrs. M. M,
Carr was voted by the Library Board
to be printed by the city papers.
For the tenth time the Iowa Library
Association has met and discussed the
great subject of Free Public libraries.
The increasing interest manifested by
the attendance of librarians and trus
tees at these meetings is an indication
that the people feel more and more the
necessity and need of a free source
from which to draw their mental food.
This state now is proud to possess
many cities and towns with these pub
lic libraries, yet they are not all free.
Our state has but about forty two free
public libraries and of one of these
Manchester is justly proud.. In 1878,
the Legislature enacted a law giving
cities the privilege of establishing free
libraries. Independence was the only
plaoeto avail its«lf of the benefit of
the law the first year. In 1873 the law
was amended making it necessary for
the electors to vote upon the question.
Many of those who came to attend
those state meetings, came eager to
learn how to proceed in order to obtain
tbe coveted free library.
Miss Stearns, of tbe Wisconsin Li
brary Commission, and Miss Ahearn,
publisher of the library magazine called
"Public Libraries", were again in at
tendance. Miss Stearns gave us many
inspiring ideas upon establishing libra
ries in small places and she demonstrat
ed how great things may come from
small beginnings. She advocated tbe
Library Commission, a committee
Belected by tbe legislature whose busi
ness it Is to assist in establishing libra
ries all over the State, and teach people
how to best promote their growth.
This commission must have at its dis
posal a certain sum of money Bet aside
by the Legislature to use in their work,
but no salary is paid to its members.
There are, at present fourteen states
having library commissions. The sub'
ject created much interest and finally a
resolution, prepared by T. S. Parvln,
who for fifty-six years has been librarian
of the Masonic Library, was adopted.
The following is the resolution:
Resolved, that a committee consist
ing of the state librarian, Mr. Johnson
Brigham, the president of the librarian
association, Mr. W. H. Johnston, and
Miss L. Stearns, of Wisconsin, whose
aid we earnestly invite, be constituted
to prepare a paper setting forth the
views of tbe Iowa State Library Asso
ciation, of its public librarians and
earnest library workers as to the impor
tance and necessity of the constituting
a library commission, after the plan of
Wisconsin, New York, and a dozen or
more Btates where the plan has been
adopted and proved a moBt valuable aid
in the management of our growing pub
lic libraries and the bringing home to
the people the value and necessity of
such library commission for the general
diffusion or knowledge among tne peo
ple old and young.
That the secretary and treasurer of
the association forward a copy of such
paper to each and every member-elect
of the general assembly with a request
that they lend their aid to secure the
passage of a law creating such' a com
mission.
The effort to induce tbe legislature
to secure such a law four years ago
failed, but tbe interest is livelier than
ever now. Indeed, it may be said that
the strongest purpose of those who at
tended the Cedar Bapids meeting was
the desire to create a greater interest in
favor of procuring this Library Com
mission. It is doubtless the thing that
would promote the greatest good in
library work and that the free publio
library is a great public educator all in
telligent thinking people will not deny,
We bad the pleasure of meeting
President McLain, of Iowa State Uni
versity, wjio spoke very urgently in
favor of good reading and tbe promo
tion and establishment of libraries. In
closing he spoke of the work to be done
for tbe people at the coming session of
the legislature.
We were proud to report the fact
that Manchester was receiving the
benefit of the traveling library which
like increase in cost to the consumer, stands for a high degree of intelligence,

Fleming and JMra. (Howe were elected
an executive committee. Sioux City
invited the association to meet there
next time, also Council Bluffs and
Davenport. It was left to the executive
cotrimittee to decide upon the next
place of meeting.
The guests were delighted to meet
the-oldest of library workers in our
state, T. 'S. Parvln, wbo has done so
mueh for the pride of hiB life, the
Maionio Library. There are very few
people who spend a day in Cedar
Bapjds who do not visit this wonder
ful building, full of ancient and won
derful curiosities and workb of art.
presume all of our library board has
visited this beautiful place so I will not
take time to go Into details.
Miss McCrary, librarian of the Cedar
Rapids library, read a very excellent
paper setting forth the work of their li
brary. While they possess a beautiful
library it has been but a short time that
the city has enjoyed a free public li
brary. It is well equipped with ma
terial as well as help, and they are do
ing muoh to interest and educate the
public, especially the children, One
feature that was much admired ts what
•a called a bulletin board upon which is
placed the Interesting topics of the day,
also piotures from publications.
Amateur photography is also exhibited.
A "nature board" upon which appears
the flowers, leaves, seeds, and every
thing whioh the season or month pro
duces, etc. Then they have a continuous
exhibit of copies of the best works of
art and the loaning of them as books
are loaned. The frames are made ad
justable so that new pictures may be
inserted frequently. They provide low
tables and chairs for the children, and
take speoial pains to teach them how
to read and care for books and papers,
and then even take the time to question
them upon what they read to help them
remember it better. It almost amounts
to kindergartln work, and is doing
much good. She spoke of the good a
town library could do to people in the
country,-it they could reach out a help
lag teiid If only to suggest and help a
school distrust to get the use of the
travelling library.
Tbe question has been asked how
much good will come of all this great
library spirit that is waviug its mag.u
wand all over this country. No one
can tell the extent of the influence of
these gatherings. We have reason to
believe that it will tend to develop a
better and nobler class of men and
women with larger sympathies, broader
minds, and a deeper insight into all
that is good. As Hamilton Mabie
says, "An unfolding and enriching of
the human spirit by conforming to the
laws of its own growth and the result
of abroad and rich human life. The
man of culture is he who has so ab
sorbed what he knows that it has be
come apart of himself. The personal
enriobment is the very highest and
finest result of intimacy with books. It
is this highest culture that these li
brarians and trustees are seeking to
develop in the readers who oome to the
libraries for aid. They can only be a
sort of literary guide post, as Miss Mc
Crary Bald, but even guide posts have
their uses if their hands are pointed in
the right direction.

Tbe Cedar Bapjds people exerted
themselves to entertain the fifty-two
visitors. A pleasant reception was

evening we were there, and Mayor lled

Ayoid air friction and criticism.
It is important to consult librarian in
selecting books, her views muBt be
heard with consideration.
Mr. Parvin told how hfty-six years
ago he founded his Masonic library up
on one book, the only one of its kind in
this sountry, and declared he would be
the means of building up a great libra
ry and with undying perseverance and
love for his work he has now one of tho
most wonderful libraries in existence.
His words of wisdom and encourage
ment were gratefully received by an
attentive audience, by whom they will
be long remembered. 7

In closing I will give briefly a few of
the most Important suggestions that
w*re made by the older and more ex
perienced of the library workers pres
ent upon subjects that have seemed to
them of the greatest weight to promote
the best results.
It is not the most important thing to
know things, but to know how to do
things.
The librarian and trustee must not
forget that it is their duty to use the
public money to fnrnish good reading
to the largest number at the least cost
Trustees shenld be modest In making
rules for the librarian, provided the li
brarian is well qualified. Librarians
should be left to manage library details
Whoever is his own lawyer has a fool
for a client
The board should take time to con
sult together often, and if they have no
time to devote to the library interests
refuse to accept a position as trustee.
An instance was given ot a vice presi
dent as being the only one interested
who finally appropriated the funds,
president who did not preside a direct
or who did not direct, but a vice presi
dent who viced with ail his might.
It is recommended that librarians
should be present at least apart of each
meeting of the board, as the board and
librarian should consult each other fre
quently.
One thing was particularly empha
sized, that great oare should bo exer
cised in placing members on the board,
They should be competent, scholars,
conservative, unselfish, capable of
broad judgment, and above all congen
ial to the membership's harmony is es
sential. A person not willing to make
a sacrifice for his work can not sue
ceed.
To suit everyone, librarians should be
angels and trustees Solomons.
Scientific American should be upon
the table.
It is not wise to discuss matters out
side the board.
No age limit was reeommended. that
is, let people of any age be entitled to
