wrought among the most ignorant
and the poorest; change which, be
ginning in the child, is soon percep-
tible in the family, and in their asso-
ciates. No suggestions from teachers
or parents will have the influence
that one child who has learned to use
the library will have over his com
panions.
1t is not unusual to see one little
reader bringing several companions
all eager to get one of the wonderful
books that has opened new world
to him. 1t is safe to say, that once
bitten with the desire for knowledge,
they will not remain in ignorance
and poverty. "No entertainment is
so cheap as reading, nor any pleasure
so lasting" A good library accessible
to the young will be one means of
combating the constant attendance
upon the movies which is not the most
desirable entertainment for young
people.
The club women of the town are
endeavoring to continue the library
in its present quarters until Septem-
Der; if the town will then assume its
support for a year, we will get the
grant from the Carnegie Foundation
with which to erect and furnish a
suitable building The vision of
commodious, dignified building on the
fill ON Court Street, opposite the
Lake which the Kiwanians have in
view, with perhaps community
building adjoining, with play grounds
near for the children is to me pleas
ing picture, the realization Of which
will not be difficult if we will all
work together. Of course there may
be other convenient locations that
may be secured but this site raised
to the level of Court Street, it seems
to me, is conveniently near the bust
ness part of the town, yet withdrawn
sufficiently for the necessary quiet.
The town is fortunate indeed in the
librarian now in charge of our library
a woman of broad culture, atistic
taste and of public spirit. She is ca
pable of interesting and instructing
everyone from the youngest to the
eldest. Let's get behind our library
and boost until it becomes our boast.
Books are years,
Within whose silent chambers
treasure lies
Preserved from age to age; more
precious far
Than that accumulated store of
gold
And Orient gems, which fer a day
of need
The Sultan hides deep in ancestral
tombs;
These boards of truth you can un-
lock at will. VIM. Wordsworth.
Mrs. Montgomery May

awakening civic pride which is voic-
ing itself through the Kiwanians and
Board of Commerce, demanding
parks and Fairgrounds, and broad
avenues for our growing commercial
activities, should likewise demand a
public library with a building ade-
quate for the accommodation of the
reading public.
Indeed, should not the library have
precedence, as the culture of the
children and young people of our
community would seem to be TIE i'm
perative call of the hour, and has
been too long neglected. The College
library as we'll as the libraries in the
public schools are not available for
the general reading public. The effect
of a library in a community is soon
nerceptible in the changed attitude
of the children toward education.
When they are permitted access to
books and have their choice, they be
gin with avidity to read and it is in
teresting, and sometimes remarkable
to note the transformation that is

AMERICAS GIFT
TO FRANCE

Gov. Roberts, who has accepted the
honorary Craftsmanship for Tennessee
in the national project of Americas
Gift to France" a colossal statue to
be erected in France in commemora-
ton of the heroism of the French
armies under Gen. Joffre in the first
battle of the Marine, is arousing in
terest in the movement. Mrs. Keith
Follettee has received communication
from the headquarters stating that
Tennessee's share of the $250,000. 90
popular subscription is 100000. Sub
scriptions from one cent up will be
received. 1t is considered that this is
a vote of appreciation and it is hope
that Blount will do her share. 1t is
expected the campaign will be large

THE PUBLIC LIBRARY
OF MARYVILLE

How many Of our citizens are really
interested in, and informed concern
ing the public library of our city?
1t can be truly said, without fear of
refutation that no town or city, that
claims to be alive or up to date can
long maintain that claim without a
properly equipped public library. The

will be aggressive and to the point,
at Nambe precinct on Monday. 1t
was a local feast day and there was

advantage OF the occasion and held
meetings in the afternoon. The

by Col. Pr richard, Senator Catron,
Geo. ". ArmiJo and Mrs. y ma Ole
ro-\Farren.
Col. Frichard spoke on State and
National issues and his speech was
one OF the best made by him this
campaign. Senator Catron as usual
gave the voters something to tn nix
about. Geo. Armijo confined him
self pr ncipaIly to local politics, and
his speech was well received.
1t was left to Mrs. Nina Otero-
Warren TO create enough enthusiasm
foi W or three meetings.
There was also a Democratic
meeting going on at the same time
in another hall, but it was a tame
affair. -Four prominent Democrats
W tn their families came over to the
Republican party during the Rspub-
lcan meeting and as there were
more than 800 people present, there
was great enthusiasm when these
recruits to the party were received
During the proceedings the Dem
ocrats were challenged to joint de-
bate on the issues Of the campaign
but Democrats are not discussing IS
sues this year, and hence tn y de
ciined the challenge.

tine by The Democrats is a scold. NO

hate Of curse is not what they
