Washington, January 20.-(Special)- Every inhabtant of the United States, no matter how far from the centers of population. will have practically as good library facilities as are now enjoyed by the average city dweller, if plans for the establishment of a new type of book dis tributing agency work out according to the anticipations of the United States commissioner of education, Dr. P. P. ClaX- ton. who is personally interested in their development. As the rural population of the United States numbers about 55 per cent of the total population, the new li- brary plan may have the effect of dou- bling the effectiveness of libraries. and of raising the standard of culture in this country to a corresponding degree.
 The basis of the new scheme of book distribution is the establishment of li- braries supported not by the state, city, or town, as at present, but by the county, with a central clearing house and branches at every postoffice, town hall, school, or ether center of community life. Under this plan, many sections of the country which at present have no libraries will be  county has no community large enough to support d library unaided. the county H. brary plan will enable all the eommuni- ties to club their resources by levying a county tax for library purposes. q free use of the books so obtained being insured by a system of branches maintained at com mon meeting places. Thus every time a rural resident goes to the nearest store, or every time his child goes to school, he will find well equipped library at his elbow.
 Like the travelling libraries maintained by number of states the county li- hrary aims to find "a book for every man, end a man for every book, Although the two institutions have much in com mon. the more restricted territory covered by the county library allows it to adapt itself more closely to local needs than is possible for the state book distributing agency.
 The county library plan has already been put into successful operation in Wan Vert county, Ohio, where a main depository and 15 branches are maintained at an expenditure of between S6000 and s7O0O a year, this sum being raised by levying half mill county tax. The same appropriation also covered the cost last year of placing S9 additional branch libraries fin the public schools. Fourtee- counties in Wisconsin are now enjoying similar facilities.
 The city library of Nashville, Tenn, has already adopted some of the features of the county library plan, while num- Der of Carnegie libraries all over the country are also considering the same

OUR SQUIRREL-lIkE AN
CESToRS.

There Is now ample evidence
for drawing up pedigree for
man as far back as a million
years or so. The steady develop
ment of the brain must give
fundamental reason for mans as
cent from the ape, the ancestor
of which was a small. land grub
bling. insectivorous animal, whose
sense OF smell was more service
able than all its other senses
and which took to life In the
trees. becoming a squirrel-like
creature. This step marked the
birth OF the primates-i. e.. high
est order OF mammals. including
man. apes and monkeys-and the
definite branching OF from other
mammals of the line OF mans an
cestry. The squirrel-like crea-
ture gradually developed into an
ape, with more highly developed
senses and greater muscular &C.
ton and skilled movements. A
mechanism was evolved which
regulated its muscular actions
and brought its sum total Of con-
seriousness to bear on the per-
formance of n given act. Thus
were developed the germs Of all
psychical greatness. which in the
million years or so that followed
eliminated in the human mind

THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE
RACE.

THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE
RACE.
Natural evolution and the evo-
luton OF the art and science of
medicine run on different lines.
Nature is lavish in the produc-
ton OF life and prodigal in its
destruc ton. Her efforts are di-
rected TO the improvement of the
species. She cares nothing for
the individuals except to adapt
them to the environment. This
spells elimination OF the unfit,
and thus we get the survival of
those best suited TO their sur
roundings. producing vigorous,
intellectual and self reliant race.
Medicine, on the other hand, has
been evolved for the benefit of
individuals. 1t does not deal
with the unborn, but devotes at
tention TO the living. Medical
men exist for the benefit of the
public, not the public for the ad-
vantage of the profession. The
interests of the public and of the
profession run on parallel lines;
hence both are apt TO take a mar
row view of mans position I'm
nature. We have successfully in
terfered with the selective death
rate which nature employs in
eliminating the unit. but we
have made no serious attempt to
establish a selective birth rate or
TO prevent the race from being
continued by the least worthy
citizens. The same maudlin SEN
timentality which often pervades
the public not infrequently af
fleets the medical profession. We
have often joined forces with the
self constituted horalists in de-
nouncing the falling birth rate
and have called out for quantity
regardless of quality.-Sir James
Barr. President British Medical
Association.

MARRIAGE VERSUS A CAREER.

Should a woman choose mar
rage or success? What we have
to get into our heads is that love
is the great central fact of mar Z
riage. The tendency has been to
confuse the nonessentials with
the essential. But there is no
conflict between love and a wo-
mans work. even II 1t is the
work of a genius. The struggle
E when II exists comes between
two different sorts Of labor--her
chosen field and Homework. But
a woman can love a man aud
make him an excellent wife
without wishing to be bis cook
