QUEST OF KNOWLEDGE.
USE OF PUBLIC LIBRARIES. CLASSES IN WELLINGTON. COLLEGE BOYS AND GIRLS. (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) WELLINGTON, this day. 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 Wellington Library, with the object of training school children in the use of the Public Library. Mr. Norrie believes that to know how to attain certain knowledge in the least space of time is one of the chief things in life, and to that end classes will be held at the library to show the children how books are classifiedj at first into big sections or divisoins, and then into smaller sub-sections until one used to the system is able to go almost straight to the volume required and so turn up the required reference. The first class was one from Rongotai College, which visited the library to-day. Other colleges will be taken in rotation.
