A magazine Index has recently been
added to the library. This index is
a quarterly publication. Indexing in
one number the magazines of three
preceding months. The December
number, 1909, an accumulation for the
year, indexes all articles in twenty of
the most important magazines.
The usefulness of such an Index
cannot be over emphasized. Such a
vast amount of interesting and use-ful
material Is published in our per-iodicals.
As the current literature ol
the day. they are a record of the
thought and progress of the present
age in every branch of activity. The
greatest scientists, the greatest stu-dents,
as well as the greatest story-tellers
are first made known to us
through the newspaper and magazine.
And every person who wishes to be
well informed In the doing of the
world must keep in touch with some or
the besl magazines.
To meet the demand the library has
made arrangements by which its
magazines may be made a pleasure to
a larger number of readers. Tney
have been placed In temporary bind-ers,
which are durable and yet do not
add to the weight of the magazine.
The current numbers must remain
on the reading tables until the new
number has been Issued, which is
usually about the twenty,fourth of
the month. One magazine may be
taken with a book of fiction, and may
be kept for one week. This will not
interfere with the privilege of taking
a non-fiction work with a fiction.
On the bulletin board, which has
been placed In the hallway of the
library, will be posted lists of the most
Interesting articles and stories to be
found in the magazines.
The magazine index, known as "The
Eclectic Review," can be round on
the magazine rack, at the front of
the main room, and is free to all.
The following is a list of the maga-zines
received at the library:
"World's Work," "Outlook," •■Scien-tific
American." .McClures Magazine,
Harper's Magazine, Everybody's Maga-zine,
"Cosmopolitan," "National Geo-graphic
Magazine," "Ladies Home
Journal." "Woman's Home Compan-ion,"

of the .National Congress of Mothers.
"Youth's Companion," "St Nicholas."

themselves the •'*nlf-we«*er,s,'' the
cardinal pednt of their doctrine being
that three days and a ualf out of a
week are quite enough to give up to
labor; tin other moiety is to ee spent
In recreation and rocaperation from

maintain, as is idleness. And they
live up to their teachings. Prophet

organize them and get thein to pro-fess

Perhaps after they get going the 'half-weokers"
can drop another day of la-bor
and be the "two-days-and a-halfers,"
and so on, by degrees, until
they become the "nc-work-at-allers."
