The written word is among our most precious heritages of antiquity. Homer, Plato, Vilgil, Dante, Shakespeare-age has dimmed all but the living power of tbe messages from those great minds.

But men are engrossed by the cor[plexity of modern living. And few indeed wor.rld find the time to listen to the past, were not the wisdom of the ancients brought to their attention. Noble indeed is the task of the country's libraries- faithful guardians of a precious heritage !

Library Bureau, whose cornerstone was laid in answer to a demand for service to librarians the country over, deems it an honor that sioce 1876 librarians turn to it whenever experienced assistance in the sokrtioD of library problems is needed.
