Explanatary comment is sametimes pravided ta place thte situa- tian in cantext. April 1913 On account af want of room in tbe infant department af the public scbool, instructions were isaued some time ago tbaî no pupils less tban six years of age abould be accepîed, but tbe age limit fails ta meet presenit conditions. Every seat in the infant depariment is naw occupiet and, wiîbin a sbort time at least 12 cbildren bave been turned away, some of tbem over seven years aId. Last Monda>' two cbildren, new- comers wbo bave been attending seboal elsewbere, were rejected. One ai îhem* is over seven years aId. There are 120 pupils in tbe depart- ment, tao many for anc teacher. A considerable increase in population is expected this year and prompt action to meet tbe situation is neces- sar>' it is suggested tIsai a new build- ing for tbe infant classes be erected and tbat its site be central, so tbat tbe youngsters of tbe'south end will not bave ta walk as far as tbey do now Yesterday Miss Spearman comn- pleted tbe wark ai cataloguing tbe books ai tIse public librar'. Sbe is tbe official cataloguer sent out by the Ontario governimenî. Sbe bas intra- duced the new card system desired in aIl libraries for uniformit>' and ta facilitate full and correct returns ta thç governmrrent, wbicb pays balf of the expense. Out ai tbe 417 libraries in tbe province Miss Speannan bas done tbe cataloguing, in about 100 and there are applications for ber services fmom 66. Under tbe card sys- tetu aIl books are an classified and arranged that an>' book desired and on tbe shelves can be banded out at once. Tbe card system had a great Mtiton ime capsules advantage over the printed catalogue, inasmuch as it is always completel>' up to date. Miss Spearman says that our library compares ver>' favorably witb tbose of most of the towns that she bas visited, the books being par- ticularly well selected. Few, she says, have anytbing like our supply of the best of reference works. She was sur- prised ta hear that tbougb the ratepayers of tbe town bad carnied a vote for a Carnegie librar>' more than two years ago, notbing bad been done towards carrymng oui their man- date. Miss Spearman's work was great>' expediîed b>' volunteer help kindl>' given ber b>' ladies, wbo bave still somne work to do, so thatit ais flot likel>' that the librar>' will bc reopened before Saturda>' l9th. As the work of tbe librarian in giving out books will be greal>' expediîed under tbe new sysiero and as there are many enîries ta, make after it bas been finisbed, tbe directors bave shortened tbe open hours. in future tbey wilt be from 3 ta 5:30 p.m. on Tuesdays, Tbursdays and Saturdays and from 7:30 to, 8:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Wardens of counties bave been asked in a circular issued from Ottawa ta say wbetber or flot tbey approve of old-age pensions, said pensions ta be given ta thse deserving aged and poor onl>', flot ta the inîem- perate or immoral, or ta ibose wbo bave criminal convictions recorded against tbem.
