PUBLIC LIBRARIES.
INSTRUCTION IN THEIR USE. (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, April 8. One of the latest acts of Mr James Norrie, public librarian, late of Auckland, is the institution of a series of classes for college boys and girls at the library, with the object of training school children in the use of the public library. To know how to attain certain knowledge in the least space of time is one of the chief things in life. To that end the classes will he shown at the library how books are classified at first into big sections, or divisions, and then into smaller sub-sections, until one- used to the system is able to go almost straight to th.e- volume required, and so turn up the required reference. The first class was one from Rongotai College, which visited the library to-dav. Other colleges will be taken in rotation.
