Only public libraries now are needed to make tbe camps complete cities. And now the necessary library s 3 rstems for the men in the army ■and navy service are about to be provided. This will be done by the iAmerican Libraiy' Association which has been asked by the Commis- io n on Training.Camp Activities on b ^ f of the War Department to •finder take this patriotic work. At a recent meeting of many leading members of the American %ibrary Association. Raymond B. Fordick, Chairman of the Commis- kon on Training Camp Activities of the War Department, said in \On the Mexican border last summer I can remember that in some of these lonely camps as the train stopped at the watering tank the soldiers would come through asking if we had anything to read—a book, a magazine or even a newspaper. They were absolutely without any thing: to read and often had nothing to do. \A situation like that must never occur again, and I do not believe it will occur a gain; I believe the old days T l ^ u g T a Com mittee on Camp Libraries and a Liberty War Council of w h ich F r a n k A. Vanderlip, President of the National City B a n k of New Y o rk is Chairm an, the American Library Association has started to raise one million dollars with which to construct, equip and uoiieeu two oi ms cmcxens maintain the camp libraries. Each camp will thus have a chain of roosting on the radiator. Well, the main a n d branch libraries proportlomtely equal in size and variety of ‘ ’ literature to those of many great cities. Ever^x^EYsan the land being asked to contribute an amount equal to five perCEDfc«Cits population. This movement will appeal to every man, wamarEaodxdiild whether he has relatives or friends in the army or not. jjetteaSiiaineady received by the Committee on Camp Libraries show tfet^ie^mea actually crave good books.

As each cantomiKnt''will have a population of nearly fifty thousand men, braiKhes of the main library will have to be distributed around^ in •various parts of leach cantonment. Through the hearty co-operation o f the Young Men’s Christian Association, the Young Men’s Hebrew ’Association and the Knights, of Colmnbus, all of which have endorsed (fhis great m o v em ent, provision has been made to utilize their huts as ■hraiiches.
