GOOD BOOKS AT ALL CROSSROADS American Library Association Urges Adoption of County
 Library System. IDEA PROVES SUCCESSFUL. California, the Pioneer-0ther
 States Adopting the Plan.
IDEA PROVES SUCCESSFUL.

The American Library Association, in announcing its Books for Every body" moveme ent, which is to be nation wide in its scope, advises and urges the extension of the county library system as a solution of the problem of supply ing good literature 70 the rural dis tricts. Its intention is to persist in advocating the nationwide adoption of the idea as successfully applied in California, Ohio and Maryland until every one of the 2,964 counties in the nation have adopted the system and regular shipments of good books are being made from the central point in the county to the designated outposts. California stands out as the highpofnt in the successful application of the idea. Of the 58 counties in the. state 42 have adopted and are supporting the system at a trifiing cost. This 1t urges as part of its enlarged program which aims to promote better citizenship and to combat the social and industrial unrest through the teaching of Ameri- can ideals and traditions to the foreign born.
 The book needs of the sixty million or more Americans who live outside of the big cities will be called to the at- tention of those in a position to serve them.
 County Libraries Urged.
 The county library system provides for establishing one central library at the county seat or in the largest town ;n fu ThiC necessarily the erecting of library building and the stocking of its shelves. In many cases the tools already exist. From this central station books will be loaned to designated outpost sta tions. The books will be delivered by trucks, parcel post or whatever method may be adopted in any given county to the country stores, tollgates, post of- fees, schoolhouSes and private homes. When one shipment has been circulat- | ed and returned another will be sent out. Also, in communities of any size in the county, branch libraries will be maintained.
 The American Library Association, with its 4,O00 active librarian mem- bers and its 40 years of practical func- tioning, is in a position to know the needs of the country and in the fight for wider knowledge is a force to be reckoned with.
 The Enlarged Program calls for an expenditure of $2,OOO,OOO. There will be no drive or intensive campaign. The money will be raised by the libra rians, library trustees and friends of libraries. The movement for better citizens and a well read population is on and the slogan is Books for Every body"
