Some Ways of Introducing Our Literature to the Public

THE following letter from Addington is self-explanatory and indicates in a degree the influence the public library is wielding and the interest manifest in it outside of Waurika:—
"FEB. 16, 1914.
"Mrs. Frank Beauman, "Public Library, "Waurika, Okla.
"DEAR MADAM: We have ordered a club of six magazines to be sent to the library at Waurika. The names of these periodicals are Christian Education, Protestant Magazine, Life and Health, Liberty, Signs of the Times, and the Watchman. These are all live monthly visitors, dealing with subjects full of interest to every person, no matter what his station in life may be.
"As an institution for the uplifting of humanity, both for this time and for the time to come, we appreciate the good efforts you ladies of Waurika are putting forth in this work. We are glad to have the privilege of making this donation to your library, and trust that we may be counted among your wide circle of readers.
"Who can estimate the value of a good public library? The answer to this may be had by noting the advance of this great nation of ours, 'the land of the free and the home of the brave.'
"Yours truly, "ADDINGTON INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL, "O. P. Wilson, Principal."
