THE COUNTY LIBRARY .

That the comfy library is growing

Of states that have adopted q county
liorary law. Under such Law tho
county is made the unit for library
service and the voters have the priyl-
legs of voting to establish such .
library to serve the entire county.
The county library means good books

ter than depending upon collection
OF books. to be. sent from the state
capital to all parts Of the state at
long intervals. Instead of having
one agency to serve the whole state
there would be ss many agencies as
there were counties that bad estab.
lished county libraries. It's 3 mis-,
taken ideas that individuals shouN
have to buy their own books. We
might as well say that the state
should not educate but rather leave
the individual TO teach himself.
Someone has. said that it is almost
criminal to teach. q child TO read and
then not provide wholesome books
for him to read.
The. county library reaches the
people through branch libraries
established in schools, villages.
towns, post-offices, country stores
often by book-truck carrying the
books to the homes throughout the
county. With q county library
established the schools would have
access to many more books than
they could afford to buy.

are plans for the bringing of both Ger
MANY and Russia into the conference The
United States has been asked to attend.
The drift here has been toward partici
patton but the extent of Americas inter-
est in these coming conferences is a mat
ter for the American executive to deter
mine If the French plan to spend their
money for the building of submarines, air
craft and cruisers and intend to maintain
a large standing army, they can hardly
hope for. the support of the American
representative at the supreme council
meetings or in the larger conferences in
which Russia and Germany are to parti-'
cipate.
In a nutshell. the attitude of the
French at the Washington conference
must be interpreted in the light of broader
events i'm world diplomacy. The effect of
her obstructive tactics will long be felt
in the Washington administration in the
years Immediately ahead of us. France
has given an impression of cratic tactics
and discord which so nearly squares with
the difficulties President Wilson had at
Paris that there is good ground for be-
lieying that the Washington administra-
ton may tend to draw further and further
away from European questions Of an
economic as well as political character
until the Europeans themselves particu-
lariy France. give evidence of a better
spirit toward the maintenance of peace
on the continent.
