THE CHILD ON THE FARM

The following is from the pen of
Prof. Powers:
Ii has been urged that to provide
country people with travelling libraries
is superflous; for, if the farmer want
ed to read, in this day when maya
zines and books too, are cheap, he
would supply himself. This way of
thinking in the light of experience it
Is almost blasphemous to call argu-
say that one who sets it forth is dis
honest. 1t is the specious defence
made through all the ages for every
ubiquitous inequality and endured pri-
walton. Endurance in such cases, as
of the slave, is largely a matter of
habit, habit which has SO dulled the
sensibilities that the deprivation is
less keenly felt. The proof Of the cor
rectness of this explanation is found
in the eagerness with which the privi-
lege when once extended is made the
most of. But even it were not true
that the farmer when he had the op-
p~ortunity made use of the travelling
library, that fact would be no argu-
ment against it. For the state can't
afford to have farmers who are dead
to the printed page, al d in very self
defence against such farmers, if
there are such, should insist on bring
ing books to the farmers door. The
children are not hardened in Hitter
acy and eagerly devour the books
from the travelling library. There is
nothing easier to cultivate than the
reading habit, and like other habits,
once established, it sticks. A genera
ton of travelling libraries would
therefore mean a transformation from
bookless country, if that is the pres
ent condition of u farm homes, to a
book-loving country. 1t would mean
for a meager, dwindled, unresponsive
intellectually, the substitution of an
eager, informed, and initiating leader
ship.

BUSINESS Of
LEGISLATURE
SESSION TO OPEN NEXT WEEK
HAS IMPORTANT MATTERS
TO CONSIDER
GOOD ROADS ARE TO RECEIVE ATTENTION
Educators of the State Are ing for
Legislation to Assist Cou p Dis
tricts-BIue-Sky Law V = ed.

An adequate workmen's Q mpensa.
ton act, which will p 3 IDLY be
modelled along the lines O e Wash
ington law; a "blue sky" d modelled
upon the Kansas act b . ng upon
that subject; efforts tow securing
prison labor for road work in the
state, or at least a change from the
present contract system and along
with that as far as possible material
changes in road laws, to allow the
state to aid in road construction,
from which it is barred at the pres
ent time by the constitutional provis-
ion which prohibits the state from en-
gaging in internal improvements OF
any class, are matters to come before
the legislature, says a Pierre dis
patch. A state civil service bill will
also be given consideration, and
something may be worked out along
that ne.
The educational interests of the
state will push their pet theories, the
leading one at the present time APP
parently being state aid for central
lied high schools in country districts
and a general library act.
The game interests of the state
will demand a material change in the
present laws, the main issue appar-
emily being the disposal of the $30S
900 which has accumulated in the
game fund.
Outside this schedule the output
will be largely detail unless some i'm
portant issue is sprung which is not
yet appearing in the quesries which
are coming. The question of an act
of some kind allowing greater spread
for irrigation projects proposed in
the state will be asked, and an effort
is being made to frame a law which
will avoid the pit into which such an
act fell last session, that of the con-
stitutional prohibition against town
ships or counties loaning their credit
for internal improvements, This line
of endeavor will be largely on the
part Of the members from west of the
river.
There will be the usual contentious
over the appropriations and there
may be a fight over the ~senatorship,
but it does not appear to be likely at
the present time.
