SALOONS BECOME LIBRARIES.
American Library Association Wants
100000 to Carry on Work.

Cupboards and shelves behind the
glittering mahogany bars, which once
housed rows of varlegated bottles, now
shelter rows. of books Of all sorts The
former saloon has become, in many in
stances, the corner library for the serv-
ice of the neighborhood.
In many places, former saloons have
been turned into stores in which have
been installed collections of the best
sort of reading matter as branches OF
the main public library or, as in com
munities which have lacked library
service, adjuncts to the library OF the
nearest city. This extension of service
is encouraged by the American Library
association, in its Books for Every
body" movement, now under way
throughout the nation and it has met
general approval The enlarged pro
gram of the association purposes to
spread the doctrine OF self education
through libraries by opening avenues OF
opportunity heretofore closed to large
percentage of the people. 1t is esti-
mated that 60,000,000 persons in the
United States to-day have inadequate
library service and to remedy this,
withthe aid of other library agencies,
the association aims to bring the best
of reading matter within easy access
of every man, woman and child IN the
country.
Those in charge Of the collections es-
tablished in those places which were
once saloons report large demand Tor
books, both fiction and on technical
subjects. Persons who have never had
much acquaintance with books are be-
coming regular patrons and the cir
culation is constantly growing. Promo
ton of this phase of spreading Ameri-
can ideals through self-instruction is
one of the principal aims of the Amer
lean Library association To carry on
the work, librarians, library trustees
and friends Of libraries are obtaining
fund of 100000 in May and June,
1920. Barre's quota is S434.49.

The School Issue.
Isl. Adams Messenger. J


The school question: is really the nor
NAL school question-still holds the center
of the stage so far as all speculation on
developments at the coming session of the
legislature is concerned. Mr.. Stearns Of
johnson is developing his program in adj
vance of the session and his propaganda
is promoting discussion.
Many of the STATE papers are warning
representatives, and senatOrs-elect not to
commit themselves to any plan previous
10 their going to Montpelier. The advice
is good even if, as one hopes, it is not
needed There is no man in position TO
give a pledge on such an important mat
ter.
The legislature should approach the
question with an open mind. Members
should hear the discussions pro and con,
should wait until the plot develops it
self and then act in accordance with their
best Judgment in the circumstances. 1t
has been practically n One-sided discussion
up until this time. 1t has been impossible
to obtain an even. balanced view of the
whole question. The men who are to be
in the 1921 legislature are going to repre-
sent free people and they should keep
themselves free to represent them
which they can't do if they give a pledge
in advance
