COMMERCIAL. CLUB
 HAS BIG MEETING
Build Arch-Fine Painting of Railroad Routes

The Valdez Commercial Association held rousing meeting last night at the chambers of the city council The work of publicity was mapped out and reports of the work of the board of trustees and of the special |, committees.
 Secretary James Fish demonstrat- ed to the members of the club that he has spent many hours in inves- tigating the reports of the railroad commission and of the other gov ernment agencies working in Alaska The motto of Valdez hereafter will be: Valdez, the Golden Key to the Golden Heart of Alaska" Stickers to be pasted on envelopes have been ordered by the club for distribution. big sign with the same motto will be placed on the Valdez dock so that as the strangers come up the ap- proach they will pass through an arch, the keystone of (which will be a large gold heart with a gold key, sig nifying the golden key to to the gold en heart of the interior of Alaska
 The painting by Sidney Lawrence, the artist, which was painted by or der of the publicity committee, was greatly admired by the members of the association. The picture clearly shows the superiority of the Valdez route over that from any other port on the Gulf of Alaska. and at a glance proves conclusively that road from Valdez would be through the storm belt prevalent along the coast in a distance of 25 miles, whereas all oth- CT lines are in the same belt for more than 100 miles. This is because Valdez bay is many miles north or any other possible coast port.
 Government maps were used to get the necessary data to secure the rel ative distances.

LACK Of LIBRARIES
CONTINUED from Saturday,

I'm social matters, even to a great
er degree than in those of finding
satisfaction in living in the country,
is far behind the corresponding
grades OF city life. In one sense
this dearth is due 10 lack of intel
lectual stimulus and ferment. Read
ing hasn't been cultivated as source
of pleasure and means of large in
formation. Social intercourse OF
larger general nature is likely TO be
empty where an intellectual circulat-
ing medium is absent. A grasp and
discussion of the more important So
ciaI matters awaits the development
OF information.
Miss Stears of the Wisconsin free
library commission. in paper on
The Woman On the Farm" quotes
from letters she had received from
two farmers wives. One said:

rows of books and its influence was

Its Mission to Fulfill
A travelling library as its name
indicates, is sent from place TO place, |
being loaned to each community, or
station for. say. two or three
months, with the privilege Of renew
al for another similar period. There
are usually several kinds Of libraries
of about so volumes each-fOr in
stance an assorted collection for gem
eral use; special collection for de-
batting, agricultural or other kind of
society; school collection with
books suitable to each grade; a coll
lection gotten up to fit some need of
the hour. political or social, or of
some particular locality. Any one of
them may be had on application,
filed usually with the secretary Of
the state library commission, about
which | shall speak presently, in con-
clusion. The North Carolina law re-
quires that this application be sign
ed ''by the president and secretary
of the library association, by the Of
ficers of a farmers union local, or
| NV in,
many states pay transportation
charges both ways.
To look after its library interests
| in general, but especially it's rural
extension work, nearly every state
now has a library commission. The
law creating the commission in
North Carolina in 1909 states very
briefly, but clearly, the general scope
of the work for the commission:
4. To encourage and aid in the
establishment of new libraries, and
to improve and strengthen those al
ready established.
-. : To serve as a center for the
collection and distribution of infor-
nation. relating to books and IL
braries
80. To supply the rural popula-
ton with library facilities by means
of travelling libraries
The Commission
|. AS a general rule, there are, say
five members of the commission
elected by the legislature or appoint
ed by the governor and receiving
only actual expenses in attendance
upon meetings.
They elect a secretary, not one o.

and really does the work outlined b!
the commission. His headquarters
are usually in the state house. II

TO KEEP
UP C|TY'S Properly
Robbins and County CON-
missioners Agree on Use of
Men in Jail.

For the use of county prisoners for
work under the direction of city street
and park department., Mayor Robbins
and the county commissioners today
entered into disagreement which is to
be effective Immediately.
Mayor Robbins says that he intends
to have prisoners used in keeping city
property in good condition. Weeds
will be cut from city lots. Grass
which grows in alleys and on side
walks will be removed. The parks
will receive help at times from the
prisoners.
The commissioners recently refused
to permit the use of prisoners in the
city because they believed the board
Of works desired to have them cut
weeds from vacant lots. The board OF
commissioners at that time advised
the board of works to place the law
In operation and make property own
ers pay for removing weeds.
Mayor Robbins gave the commits
sioners his assurance that the prison
ers will not be used for that pur-
pose. Only city work will be done. A
written agreement is being drawn up
by City Attorney Bond and County
Attorney Hoelscher. This will be
signed by the commissioners, the may.
or and board of works.

twentieth Century Education" was
the subject OF Pro. Maynard Lee Dag
gy's address at the chautauQua yester-
day afternoon, at 1880. Prot. Daggy
has been a college professor of long
experience and spoke with authority
on the problems of modern education.
'Ye shall know the truth and the
truth shall make you free must be the
motto OF twentieth century education"
he asserted. That this has been the
guiding principle in the progress of
civilization was proved by the expert
ence of the great nations In their rise
from primitive savagery and barbar-
ism.
1.-The greatest aim of twentieth
cetury education Is to teach the boys
and girls to think themselves. That is
revolutionary doctrine. Up to this
point we have been trying to cram our
children full of facts. thinking that
memory training is the whole of edu-
cation, but we are learning that the all
important thing is to teach our chill
dren the universal principles of which
the mere facts are but illustrations.
Literature Shows Trend.

ate knows the difference between

PLEADS DR.. ELLIS
Institute Speaker Says Too

tanned.

In his address on sLiterature" given
at the Teachers Institute today DR..
Charles Calvert Ellis urged the teach
ers not to teach literature as II it were
a matter ct dates and names but to
teach it as life and to lead the pupils
to enter into the spirit rather than the
letter of great books.
We used to think that the idea of
literature, he said, consisted in
learning the titles and dates of an au-
thor's books and visiting his birth
place, and In gathering autographs.
We dissected his poems and tore his
masterpieces into shreds in order to
see how they were put together. In
doing that, the life went out of them.
"This is the bane of our method OF
teaching literature in the grades. Our
first readers are full of inane stuff.
True reading involves feeling and
Imagination. The book that is read
with the mind only is merely skinned
If we would read at all, we should
read with the soul. We intellectualize
our literature too much.
Nothing finer was ever said In re-
gard to the study of literature than
that uttered by President Wilson at
Princeton University: Literature in
it's essence is power and spirit. 1t is
experienced rather than analysed toe
formally. If this free people is to keeI
it's fine spirit, amid all it's practical
affairs, it must continue often to
drink of the wells of English unde

There never was time in the his
tory of American schools when they
had a better opportunity or greater
need to put into the minds of our pu
pills civilizations great ideas of peace
A thing that is being shot to pieces
on the battlefield of Europe is the
principle that great standing armies
are guarantee of peace. One battle
ship costs more than Hampton and
Tuskegee Institutes put together
The boys of today should be taught
the lessons of humanity rather thar
the lessons of butchery and nothing Is
better for that purpose than much Of
tho splendid literature which is oul
American heritage"
