Like other libraries, public and otherwise, the distribution of read- ing no longer desired by its original owners, forms a part of the work of this institution.
One of the members, as stated in the "Manual" for 1900, "dis- tributes regularly in families, endeavoring to counteract the taste for the cheap, trashy stuff" found in so many homes. "Some of our school-teachers", also, it is stated, "in the more outlying distriets have

been of assistance in indicating localities where our gifts of reading matter are proving helpful auxiliaries to right living".
The work of the "Boys' Room", opened December 3, 1870, has recently been merged in one of larger scope, established by the National Boys' Club Association. The "Boys' Club" is now installed in separate quarters, in the building directly opposite, on the south corner of Weybosset and Eddy streets; and the Board of Control includes several members of the Union.
The work of the Union for Christian Work throughout all its dif- ferent channels is characterized by an enlightened sympathy which is beyond praise. The librarians, from the beginning, have included the following: Miss Juliet E. Graves, 1869-79; Mrs. Martha W. Greene, 1879-80; Mrs. Eliza J. Lee, 1880-88; Miss Mary C. Lee, 1888-92; Miss L. Sophia Tingley, 1892; and Mrs. Anna M. Arnold, from 1892 to the present time.
The other officers of the Union at present are as follows: President, Zephaniah Brown; secretary, Miss C. K. Clarke; treasurer, William T. Crandell. Miss Katharine H. Austin has rendered invaluable ser- vice from the beginning, as did also the late William M. Bailey, Jr.
