A Pointer to Parents.

" r SEEMS to us that a word of
pointed warning should be spoli-
A en- to some of the parents in this
town. We are having, amongst
the young ones in the public schools,
the usual and perhaps more than the
average run of contagious diseases.
notably scarlet fever and diphtheria.
Every day or two some pupil drops
out of the line and the next information
on the subject is that he or she Is
abed with n fierce disease.
A certain amount of this kind Of thing
Is perhaps an inevitable vicissitude
of life; at least it will do no harm to
think so. But there is one phase OF
this prevalent sickness which arouses
Indignation and that is the carelessness
manifested by some parents in exposing
unnecessarily to the cOntagon in their
own family circle the children of their
neighbors and friends. Every little
while we hear OF scarlet fever patients
released prematurely from quarantine
and sent back to school to spread the
terror there. Not infrequently parents
pass directly from the SICK room lnlO
the presence of others without taking
the smallest precaution to prevent the
transmission by them of the germs or
seeds of disease. In a hundred ways,
of course without evil intent, the well
fare of the community is menaced and
if the matter is not properly called to
the public's attention the consequences
may some day be serious.
The local physicians, we are persuad-
ed, do in most instances their full duty
in instructing parents into whose
homes they are called. If they do not.
they should henceforth do so. But the
trouble is most likely to begin after
the doctors back is turned and if in
each community where a careless par
ent or nurse exposes to peril unneces-
sarily the children of the neighborhood
some determined man or woman would
volunteer to do a little missionary work
in behalf of common sense, the prob
abilities are that We should soon detect
the result in a declining death rate.

beyond abrldgement; but over all this
freedom Is the one qualifying clause:
The man possessing this freedom must
respect the rights Of his fellow-man and
render to the laws that are enacted by
the majority honest obedience while he
elects to live under them. The law says
that a man shall not live with three
wives. He cannot escape that law by
saying that his conscience tells him to
live with three wives. lie cannot es-
cape by alleging that it Is his religion
to practice polygamy. II such n rule
were established, religions would soon
spring up and promptings of conscience
be alleged for the purpose of sanction
ing every form of vice. The law takes
note of acts. 1t says what shall ana
what shall not be done. If Roberts has
done what the law says he should not
do, the admission of him to congress
would be a mistake, intensified by the
special prominence of his transgress-
ion and the invitation which congress
slonal sanction of it would extend to its
widespread imitation.

and many conveniences are absent
which in other large libraries are con"
sidered indispensable. He asks au-
thorlty to take up this necessary work
and IL is self-evdent that he should
have it. one important addition which
he announces will be made within
two months is a reading room, open
public use files of all the current
newspapers and periodicals.
The general public touches the Ii
brary most frequently through the
copyright department, and this, owing
to inadequate appropriations, is in bad
shape. The law at present authorizes
the employment in this department of
only thirty persons and they are un-
able to keep up with current business,
much less clean UP arrears. Six per-
sons have been lent from other de-
partments, yet these thirty-six, al
though they have contributed with
out charge 9,7S9 hours of overtime
work, are behind in the business of
the departme mt, while the volume Of
that business goes on increasing at
the rate Of ten per cent. yearly. The
department as now constituted returns
to the government a profit of over
$4,000 a year, and Mr.. Putnam thinks
that the government can we'll afford
to let him take $4,000 of this profit
and apply it to bringing the immense
work of the department up to date.
The congressional library is a grand
institution, but like most Institutions
run by congress it needs for it's pre-
servation continual battling against
congressional misinformation or in
difference. The library is now in su-
perior hands; it is becoming year by
year more efficient in organization and
more satisfactory in results; and the
present congress should indicate sub
stantial appreciation and encourage
ment.

IL beautiful building in w Which tc'n
the congressional library is
located or had opportunity to study
the merits Of this superb institution
will, we are sure, be interested in
some facts concerning the library ex-
tractcd from Librarian Putnam's first
annual report.
To run the library for the last fiscal
year cost $lS5,COO. The amount dis
bursed en- account of the maintenance
of the library building and grounds
was 100000, on June 80 last the lib-
rary contained 957,O56 pamphlets and
books, 26500 manuscripts, 52,1S1 maps
and charts, roses prints, 277.i65 COM
positions of music and 5O,33O bound
volumes of periodicals and newspa-
pers. There are 1S23S files of news
papers ard the library is now pre-
serving files of every considerable
publication in the United States. In
its reading room the library during
the year entertained 1920 readers,
while in the reading room for the
blind, new feature, 81 900 visitors
were registered.
Mr., Putnam urges strongly upon
congress the re-classihcatlon Of the
library, saying tnat the present classl-
fication is but a slight expansion of
that adopted by Thomas jefferson in
1915 for his library of 600 volumes.
There is no shelf list for the more
than a million books and pamphlets
in the library, the catalogue now ex-
isting is insufficient and antiquated

take kindly to the proposition oil
extending the tax limits OF cities
to the corporate lines. Already
a howl has gone up and will no
doubt continue as long as this plan
is followed. The people in Provo
precinct are among the latest to
kick. Those living north OF the
city have taken steps to have that
district separated from Provo so
they will be exempt from city
taxes. The people of other cities
will watch the progress OF this
move and if it is successful other
districts will soon follow suit.

from 10 to IA hours day, be-
grudging him day off and depri-
wing him of an opportunity to
make little money and have a
little fun on his own account and
then expect he will stay on the

foster their development and the
