63 Annual Report of Librarian Calls Attention to Weed of Larger Staff of Employes Washington patromzers of the Public Xjlbrary aire raytagrnore attention to the standard jauthors and are reading fewer best sellers at the present time than ever befoj Die annual report of George IV Bowerjnan librarian supplemented by a statement from Theodore Noyes president iof the board of trustees of the library submitted to the commissioners yesterday shows that the percentage that fiction of the modern type has borne to the total circulation of the library has been reduced from for the years W03 and 1904 jto 63 Moreover it is safe to say that the novels circulated have been of increasingly better literary character Mr Bower man adds by way of explanation On the one hand there has been a constant effort to furnish an abundant supply of standard fiction in attractive editions and on the other hand the standards exacted of new fiction purchased have been progressively raised Plenty of copies of alL the new hovels purchased are supplied and the total number ofnovels circulated Increases from year to year The proportion however is constantly falling due to the increased reading of books in otner classes Open Shelf Plan Works Well The largest single Influence In this direction is the work of the useful arts department but the extension of the open shelves the continuance of the plan ot bringing out classes of nonfiction in rota tion thus encouraging the browsing haDit have had their effect For example an open shelf case containing 350 volumes of biography was maintained throughout the year From It 4176 volumes circulated or 42 per cent of the entire circulation of the class of biography containing In all about 6000 volumes Mr Bowerman says that the six best sellers class is being given something of a blow so far as the extent of clr jcuiation ig concerned by the book reviewing club This Club meets once each week and its members not only discuss the older and standard books but the more up to date novels Opinions and criticism are exchanged and the members accordingly devote more of their reading time to the standard authors Mr Bowerman stated that it had been found necessary to discontinue the circulation of music rolls during the last year because it was impossible to handle the rapidly growing book circulation with the present force of employes The music roll employes were transferred to the book department Larger Staff Needed It is feared he said that unless there is some means found for increasing the staff that action must soon be typical of the policy of the library that is it must perforce become one of simply trying to hold its own rather than one of expansion and extension of service Suchja policy no more harmonizes with progressive ideas of library administration than it does wlth progressive nesg in journalism or banking or commercial life generally Mr Noyes In1 his letter to the com rnlssTpnerskhlc accompanied the ie port of

consideration the doctors explain and reductions must be made for the man of ordinary income So uncertain is the plan of a doctors exactions for his work and so extensively must he look for his earnings to those afflicted that it is emphatically described as a non money making profession As proof of this the doctors ask one to name ten doctors in Wash ington who have grown wealthy out of their professional work The physl clan who Is earning only a fair livelihood will tell you he has no complaint to make however If I save a mans life I achieve something that fills me with elation whether I get a cent of pay or not said a leading practitioner yesterfisy These feelings of joy over preventing suffering and in triumphing over affliction are ample reward for my work I have not entered upon the practice of my profession with any big ideas of fortune making said Dr Reich elderfer one of the younger practitioners of Washington and secretary of the District Medical Association We need but to look around us and see that doctors are not men of affluence Those that have riches did not gain them In professional work Either a man must be in love with his job in our profession or he would better be doing something else Paris Plan Not Feasible Here I have been following the dlscusson of the fee subject as appearing In The Post While the good of the profession would of course be gratifying to me yet I dont believe It would he practicable to attempt any system In fee exactions The ability of patients to pay for services varies too greatly The physician has to differentiate and there is no way of giving him a schedule to fit Individual cases To try to increase the money making power of the profession would not succeed To establish any uniformity of charges would be Impossible Dr Monte Sriffith likewise regarded the new plan of uniform fees being tried In Paris as impossible They have things better systematized In Europe than we have over here he said The classes among the people are quite sharply defined and thsre Is much uniformity in their incomes A uniform method of charging for medical treatment may work out there Incomes Vary Too Widely We are a new country here witn somewhat slim lines of caste The poor man heroymay easily be resentful of charity or classification as unable to pay a fair fee Incomes differ widely and a physician has utterly no standard to go by I am sure that practitioners are not making too much money Yet on the whole I would say that they are being paid well enough considering the abilities of people to pay Money is not the only desider atum anyway Restoring the ey sight of a enrson who has long been blind has a reward of satisfaction to which money ia only incidental Most physicians do a great deal of work for nothing and they ought to do It The profession cannot be put on a commercial bafels arid It Is best that It shall not be Dr Joseph Heller declared that the present systern of having a minimum and maximum schedule of a very large range and of which the maximum is the only one that is observed In the practical workings of a doctors office is satisfactory both to practitioners and patlentsr The money equation between doctor and patron cannot be regulated for circumstances and conditions are beyond It The good name and pride or the profession Is the best available safeguard against a patients being Imposed on Public opinion plays a wholesome part lh curbing any tendency of a physician to be too aggressive for money rewards Not a Money Making Profession We are not In a money making business arid we understand that when enter It The public would be surprised if it knew the number ot doctors in Washington who were not doing more than earning a livelihood and at best layln up a little cornpetence for themselves and families Suppose an office charge is a visit If the patient cant pay that amount the doctor will not charge hirn at all In some cases The first thing the practitioner thinks of Is to help the person to recovery and thought of pay comes afterward Some physicians may reduce the charge to say 50 cents They have families to support and they must do the best they can to manage thlngs There Is more of the principle of mutual help In the doctors levying of his charges than is generally understood A doctor In need of money maytbe giving much of his tlmd gratis Generally speaking he will do this uncomplainingly On the other hand come the patients Head of A Fof Addresses Repfe sentatiyes of 760000 Craitsmert He Advocates Higher DuestoBe Used as a Beneficial or Defense

Mass several years ago Mr Gompers declared that that contest had taught the employers In the textile trades that It was cheaper to pay the living wages demanded by the union than It was to bear the

Department will maker every effort to have the next Congres pass the bill submitted at the last session providing for an Increase In the number of officers of the army to fill vacancies created by details provided for by law according to Capt Johnson Hagood aid to Gen Franklin Bell A strong recommendation to this effect will be embodied both in the report of Gen Bell to the Secretary of War and In the latters annual report to the President The bill In question was Introduced during the last session of Congress by Senator Francis Warren of Wyoni lng cbalrriian of the committee on military affairs It passed the Senate but failed to come out of committee In the lower branch It Is believed that the additional number of officers desired will promote efficiency in the national guard regiments by Increasing the number of officers active and retired detailed to each State organization With the present scarcity of officers said Capt Hagood it Is necessary jo detail a large number of retired officers who can be called upon only on their own request to give instruction to State militia The passage of the bill would mean too an increase in the number of civic schools allowed an army officer for Instruction In military science arid tactics At present using alL theretlredofflcers who desire to be so employed together with such active officers as we areau thorlzed by Congress to detail for the pur pose there are many schools desiring a military lnstructof that cannot be accommodated It is the most important legis latlon this departments Wants I and we expect to make aibir fight before Con gress to put It through In his report recently published In spector ueneraviiAtuariington lays special stress on the need of additional fficers saying that the service ls ta a
