Books on evolution prove popular at Ellwood City library
Ellwood City readers increasingly seek evolution texts after the Dayton Scopes trial. Darwinism works circulate less than expected while reference Bible volumes wear out from use. A new J Arthur Thompson title arrives for locals, with Bryan’s In His Image also popular. Other titles include Ascent of Man, Man's Place in Nature, Meaning of Evolution, Darwinism and Human Life, Evolution and Religion, Christianity and Progress, and Fundamentals of Christianity.
