...library, an index to the subject catalogue. This is bound to prove a great help to men in looking up subjects. Anyone wishing to look up the sublect of "Rivers" for example, has but to turn to "Rivers" in this index, read the number opposite (for instance 1506.2) and find the drawer in the card catalogue of subjects which contains this number (say the drawer numbered 1500.1 - 160).
