5. Do any use the library as a meeting place, or kind of club?

This also depends largely on the district.

6. Do they come in such numbers that they over-run the library

and keep the older people away because of the consequent

confusion, noise, and lack of room?

No, excepting under conditions produced by bad planning of

buildings.

7. Do you ever ask for help in the discipline--from the trustees,

police, or others?

The branches which have guards have less difficulty in

discipline, otherwise in some of the crowded districts the

janitors and police are occasionally called in.

8. Do the teachers help by talking to the scholars on the

necessity of behavior in public places?

As far as our knowledge goes, only occasionally.
