One of the Greatest Libraries of the World ALHEAIY one of the greatest of the libraries t the world and the largvst and most important In the western hemisphere. It is apparent that the library of congress is to become national In the bro.dest and most inclusive erise It is that already, but not t

he degree that will be true of it after awhile. The policy with regard to he library of con eres is briefly yet fuilv stated by .Mr Herbert Putnam librarian aince 1 S!. m these words In each country then '...; be ne library a. nearly as possible comprehensive. This m.-ans indefinite ac emulation and preservation. In the I'uited States that library is the National library at the national capital

Its possession of the unusual bcok. or file little-used book, may enable the local libr.uie M to get along without them A book here is available to the entire .ountry. and this means a great saving; fo the country as a whole." Mr. Putnam points out that the word c omprehensive. - as used by him. does not mean the purchase of everything in prim If congress each year were to give the library all the funds for w hlcli it asks, there would still bexerclsed In the purcha of books that selection which has been the poll. of the past. The work of selection is eveD carried Into the copyright deposit-, only a portion of which are placed in the library proper. "Mere bookstacks cost little, adds Mr Putnam 1 A B against the cost of he wain establishment the cost of hi. using th accessories is a relatively small one. At the present rate of Increase, which is about eighty to ninety thousand volumes a year, it would not exceed one per cent of the coat of the tvilldinK "So far as the library building is for the reader, for exhibition purpos-s. and for the purposes of ordinary administration. It will be good for an Indefinite length of time. In spite of our annual additions- In the age of volumes and pamphlets."

"It Is remarkable that so few persons in Washington realize the wealth of historic Interest that surrounds them within a radius of -'OO miles.
