SMALL PER CENT OF NEVADA
USE FREE PUBLIC LIBRARIES

Only 1872 per cent of the population
of Nevada has acess to free public Ii
braries, leaving more than $4,000 per-
sons not provided with free library
service. according to the estimate of
the United States bureau of education,
made public today
American library Association Off
cials declare that this lack. as reveal
ed by statistics of public library de-
velopment recently compiled by P. P.
Claxton. commissioner of education.
will give residents of Nevada a con-
ception of the benefit to be derived
from the" Books for Everybody" move
ment launched by the association. To
devote to the task of making public
library service a vital influence in
every American community, the A
l.. A. is gathering a Books for Every
body" fund of s2,00O,000. Ernest II.
Damon librarian of the free public Ii
brary of Reno, is state director for
Nevada.
The report for Nevada shows only
three libraries that are classed as free
public Libraries. containing 15,301 vol
umes and serving a population of 15,-
712 persons, leaving 66,163 persons
without access to Libraries. In the
judgement of the bureau of education
the smallest library that can usually
be depended on to render an adequate
service is one 5000 volumes. Only
cne library in the state measured by
this standard can be termed uni
versity of the people" 1t serves 10,
S67 persons. with 71,00S persons prac-
tically deprived of the help on an in
stitution which. more than any other
promotes adult self-education. In fif-
teen counties there is no library with
as many as 5000 volumes. One county
has library of this size. which might
serve as a nucleus for a county library
system.
| The county library is advocated by
the American Library Association as
/ the best method of reaching the rural
districts. This form of library ser.
vice recently was endorsed by Com.
missioner Claxton.

FIRST INTERSCH0LASTIC DEBATE
HELD BY HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENTS

The pupils of the Douglas County
high school scored complete victory
over the debating teams of the Carson
high school Friday evening.
At Gardnerville Louise Jones. Oliver
Swanson, and Blanche Haugner were
on the affirmative side, while Leona
Patterson, Katherine Schaffer and Le-
roy Fothergill upheld the negative
side. The debaters put forth splendid
arguments which were interesting to
those present. The Judges. composed

and Rev F. II. Menzel of Gardnerville.
The Douglas team was given a COM

Lloyd Springmeyer and Frances
Brockliss went to Carson where they
took the negative side of the same
question, Carson being in the affirma-
tive The judges of the debate held
in Carson, also gave the Douglas stud
ents a complete victory.
While the student of the Douglas
high school must be given much credit
for the exceedingly creditable show
ing made by them in the first debate
held between the two schools, we also
must not overlook, the fact that their
victory is only reflection of complete
coaching and high educational train
ing received at the hands of the in
struetors of the local high school.
