dict that in the near future the prob
lem of irrigation will be as pressing in
New England as it now is in the arid
regions of the West. The forestry ex-

their theories as to the reckless cutting
away of the great forests. Some peo-
pie lay if to the moon and others to the
sun. and one or two Democrats have
been found who declare that it is
easily traced to the Roosevelt admins
tration. But whatever the cause, the
long drouth is a grim reality and has
given the farmers abundant cause to
worry. 1t may be that irrigation will
yet have to be resorted to in this sec
ton.

A Southern Educational Movement.

1t isn't often that the South is looked
to as furnishing anything original and
progressive along educational lines, but
North Carolina is winning wide atten-
ton by the working Of it's rural school
library system. That state, which has
been the leader in the southern move
mont for better educational facilities
passed in 1901 law permitting the es-
wherever the patrons or friends of Il
free public school raised the sum of $40
of that purpose. The county board of
education was authorized to add $40 to
the gift, and the state board of cduca-
ton 80 more. The act provided that
not more than $4,000 should be expend
ed FOR this purpose, and that the num-
Der of Libraries should not exceed six
in any county. Within one year, ac-
cording to Southern Education, 1855 Ii
braries were established in rs of the 96
counties. by total state and county
was the experiment that the Legisla-
ture of 1903 appropriated $4,000 more for
six additional libraries in each county,
and added $500 for books for the Ii
braries already established Each IL
brary is conducted under rules and
regulations prescribed by the state
superintendent of public instruction
The North Carolina Literary and His
torical Society has done much to Sc
cure the passage of the laws The re-
suits have more than justified the ex-
renditure. and. in fact, the experiment
has attracted very considerable atten-
ton in other states. One small public
school. that of Locke Township, for in
stance. has a school term of only fou,
months. Yet during this period $50
books were read by the patrons, anC
pupils of the school. The peculiar value
of the school library lies in the fact
that it educates the older generation as
well as the younger.
