WOULD BUILD RAILROAD
TO MT. BLANC'S SUMMIT
sneoIal cabIo 10 ma IIerald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
GENEVA, oct. 20.--A serious scheme
to build a railway almost to the sum
init Of the Mont Blanc range has been
prepared by a Swiss syndicate and has
received the approval OF the French
government The projected railway Will
provide the greatest thrill on earth"
taking passengers TO the roof OF Eu-
rope.
The syndicate which has obtained
the concession is at present completing
an aerial line TO the summit Of the
Matterhorn. 1t now proposes to build
a similar line from the valley Of Cha
monk to the summit Of the Alguille
du Midi, peak nearly 10000 feet high,
in the center of the Mont Blanc range.
According to the contract an ordl-
nary funlcular railway will join the
existing system at Chamonix. The
double aerial cables will begin at the
first Alpine station near the Glacier
des Blossoms at a height Of over 5000
feet.
The cost Is estimated at about s1,0OO-
600, and II Is believed that the project
will take four years to carry out The
first and easiest half will take only a
year, and tourists may be able to as
cend TO the Glacier dos Blossoms at the
end of next summer.

ciers. dozens of crevasses and unfath-
omable preciplces, and will give those
who do not care for climbing the, Alps
on foot an idea of the dangers and the
pleasures of mountaineering.
To ride on this railway will give
the passenger a series of thrills which
no other line in the world can afford
1t is believed, further, that 1t will be
a bsolutey safe, for the engineers have
examined and studied every yard Of
the route and have taken every pre-
caution in preparing the estimates In
several places It will pass over blue
ish crevasses, giving the passenger the
sensation OF riding over blue water.
The electricity which will work the
line will be generated by the River
Arve. The coaches will be specially
to withstand the great
changes of cold and heat.
The engineers are very hopeful OF
the success OF the project, but they
that the. nearer the line APP
proaches the summit the more difficult
will be the work of construction owing
to the difficulties Of the glaciers and
the deep snow and the danger of
p avalanches. In the known tracks Of
the avalanches tunnels will be con-
structed to avoid all danger, but four
fifths Of the line will be in the open air.

FIRST FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY.

Peterboro, N. H., Claims the Honor for the
 Pioneer Home of Books.
 Boston Globe.
 The little town of Peterboro, N. H., un- der the shadow of grand old Monadnock, boast the first free public library support ed by municipal tax in the world.
 The outgrowth of a semi-free social h- brary established in Peterboro in 1799, the present institution is said to be the pioneer exponent of the free puplic library system
 Until the year ls49 no law existed in New Hampshire under which money could pc legally raised by public tax or appro- priated from any public fund, for the sup port of public libraries otheE than rum 'As library fund.
 This fund which was a tax on the cap ital stock of banks./ was created by act or the Legislature of 1921, ana was orlslhaliS intended for the endowment or state uh- iversity. But in 1928 an act was passeo pIo- y,ding that if should be divided annually among the several towns and applied to the maintenance of common sehoois or to other purposes of education.
 In Peterboro on April 9, 1885, 1t was .Voted, that out of the money to pc Faiseo the present year from the state treasury on account of the literary fund' so nhuch oe added to the literary fund of the town as to make the principal thereof amount 10 s7b0 to remain a permanent fund.
 sixteen years later. in 1S49, the State or New Hampshire passed law authorizing towns to grant money to estaDllsh anu ih"ih Jain public libraries This was the Ilrst sta- t',,a af tbe kind. The English public libra ries act followed in 1850, and the Mass achusetts law in 1851 .
 The first printed catalogue or the Feter- boro library was published in lsS'' ana was A 1-2x6 inch, 16-page pamphlet anu cat aIogued 579 volumes ,-,. .-,..,

 We have reform schools for wayward children, which doubtless do the best they can. But if there could be reform schools for parents there would be llt- tie or no need of reform schools for children. Delinquent parents are to blame for delinquent children-in nine cases out of len. If parents would do their duty If they could be forced by State, church, society, press. public opinion or the whips and scorns of the time, to realize their responsi- bility for the children they havc brought into the world-then there would be no need of the State reform school. The parents would keep that school. Its course of instruction would be admonitory and preventive. It is seldom that a child brought up in the right way by the parents will after ward take the wrong way.

CHURCH BOYCOTT, TOO.


A report comes from Chinf TO the
effect that the Christian natives of
China have decided 20 form an inde-
pendent church. The object OF this
would be to get rid OF the foreign mis-
sionaries. II is said that this move
ment Is headed By a Chinese clergy
man who has already collected $4,000
with which 70 carry on the campaign.
This would indicate thai the anti
foreign sentiment In China has spread
to the converts, and that they win aid
In ousting their teachers, even IL they
retain the doctrines taught. The truth
seems to be that the Chinese have ar
rived at the conclusion that they need
no further aid from abroad They
seem to believe that they can get along
very we'll without foreign goods. both
the spiritual and the temporal, and per-
haps they can. Perhahps they can
manufacture Chinese brand OF Chris
tianity just as good" as the imported
article.
In the meantime, the talk anout the
possibility of a military expedition to
China continues. It may be Just as
well to be prepared for emergencies.
but we hope no occidental power will
commit the mistake Of compelling
China by force Of arms to keep the
foreign missionaries and their re-
ligions. Opium was forced upon the
Chinese, against the protests of reform
ers who hoped to be able TO rid the
country OF a curse, Christianity should
not be forced upon the people in the
same manner even II it we're possible
to do so, The anti-foreign sentiment
must be pretty strong. when It extends
to the churches and turns the converts
against their pastors. But, whose is
the fault?
