The Iowa School Library Law.

The State of Iowa has just in
stituted school library law,
which provides that every school
district must lay aside annually a
sum of from 5 to Is cents for each
child of school age, the money to
go for the purchase of books for
library. During the school
year the books are to be shelved
in the school house, but during
vacation time they are to be kept
for the use of the pupils in the
house or Office of some person Sc
lected by the School Board. AS
the books may be loaned to per-
sons who are not pupils, it is sug-
gested that during vacation the
school libraries be kept in the
village store, where people are
apt to congregate.
In this State we have no such
law, and there are many districts
that are woefully in need of such
provision. Of course, in the large
cities and the towns of important
size there are public libraries in
plenty. But that is not where
the need or rather the use of
such law as the Iowa statute
would be most felt. 1t is in those
country districts where facilities
for acquiring an education are
extremely limited and where OPP
portunities for securing books
are practically non-existent. We
spend millions to give the public
chance to educate itself, and
then we turn the pupils loose
without providing them with any
chance to continue their self-im-
provement by reading and learn
ing the use of books.
In the sparsely settled portions
of counties of this State the value
of small and well selected libra
ries would be instantly feltleaners

SUNDAY ON THE vELDT.

Every man on entering the
army is asked his religion, and
according to his declaration he is
marched to a place of worship
every Sunday. The war Office
recognizes four denominations;
Church of England, Presbyterian,
Wesleyan and Roman Catholic.
Chaplains Of each denomination
are maintained during peace and
accompany forces on active SER
vice. Moreover, the government
supplies every soldier with a Bi-
BILE. Divine service is held every
Sunday on campaign whenever
possible. 1t is, of course, in the
open air, and in hot countries the
service is held in the early morn
ing. AT the appointed hour the
bugle sounds, the men fall in
arms with rifles, side arms and
carrying ammunition. They are
inspected by their officer, and pa
rade off, according to their de-
clared religion, to the various
places appointed for each denom-
nation, the Anglicans to one
place, the Wesleyans to another,
and so on.
AT each place the men form up
in three sides of a square. On
the fourth side a small desk is
erected by placing a big drum on
three kettledrums. Over the
top a red circular cloth, provided
by the government for the pur-
pose, is thrown.
Here the service is held. In
the Anglican service a shortened
form of morning prayer is read,
and a five-minute address given.
Owing to the absence of hymn
books singing is rarely possible.
The whole service hardly lasts
more than twenty minutes.
