James B. Ford Library
The Committee of "Friends of the Library": An informal Committee has been gathered from among well-known friends of the Indian: Dr. George Bird Grinnell, Dr. John Cooper, Rt. Rev. Hugh L. Burleson, Dr. Harlow Brooks, John Spargo, Buffalo Child Long Lance, Dr. Charles Eastman, Dr. Samuel A. Eliot, Dr. Erl Bates, Mr. Leo Crane, and others. At the time of writing, the Chairman of the Division of Indian Welfare of the General Federation of Women's Clubs seems disposed to offer the support of that organization.
The object in forming the Committee is not to secure immediate financial support, but an intelligent interest in our aims.
Readers: There has been an increase of outside readers. Recently there have been from one to four each day, each with a research problem. Telephone inquiries also show that the public is becoming aware that the library of the Museum is specializing in the field of the Indian.
Notable Gifts: Donors of rear books have been Mrs. James B. clemens, Mrs. Thomas Huckerby, and Mr. Joseph Keppler. Dr. Frederick Starr, Dr. F. G. Speck, and Mr. Ernest Ingersoll have been among our most generous donors. Our Government and that of Canada have continued their generous contributions.
