Milam, secretary of the Public Library Commission of Indiana, whose progressive ideas about public libraries ar.: creating a deep impression over the state. In a special article prepared for tlie United Press, Secretary Milam said: “Some people still think of a library as a place where women go to get the ’atest novels and books about Greek irt and where children go to get Sunlay school stories. "What f. shock they would get if i they strolled innocently into the railroad news reading room of the Huntington public library, for the room would be filled with men, some of ’hem with hats on and feet on the tables, not a few of them puffing away at pipes, stogies and cigars. And it he stranger looked at. the books and magazines they were reading he would find men’s books and men’s maga-: fines on engineering and railroading and how to fit one's self for a better job. “In a few places librarians are not so afraid they will do something undignified, so afraid they will do some-1 thing that will offend somebody, that’, they are not willing to do anything i differently from the wty it has always | been done. Such a librarian ought to I be fired. “Public librarians nowadays must I be progressive. They must knov their field of operations, the popula - tion of their town or city, as well as | know their books, and they must find ways of making the library serve all j of the citizens. "The men can be reached by the establishment of a ■ pecial men's room to which the men can come freely, di root from the shops or store in work I ing clothes if they wish, bringing along their pipes, also, it they choose, ; and where the men will find books and magazines that thev like. Library boards and librarians are awake to the fact thaj the library has something for everybody, and that it I has only to let down the bars of con-, vention and make people sec that they are welcome, to get the people to come and make use of the looks and magazines that are waiting o THE INDIANAPOLIS STRIKE. - (United Press service) Indianapolis, Ind..
