III can De uOne. HOW WOulu
you do it?'' Nobody reads around
this place" These were some of the
discouTssing responses met with
when the interested mother suggest
ed starting a public library in the
tiny western town in which she lived.
But there were others who were eag-
er to have IT,
We'll, II won't hurt to try" was
the determined and CHEEKY response
which answered the objections.
There were several things to be
considered. Granted she could gain
the general cooperation of the town,
there were books to be secured. a
suitable library station found, and IL
brarians located to take charge. 1t
was decided to divide the town up in
to districts. and have these districts
canvassed by some OF the town peo-
pie. A meeting was called of all the
people who we're willing to help, and
the enthusiastic response was crafty
ing
Prior to the actual canvass for do
nations of books and magazines, sew
eral attractive posters announcing the
project were displayed in churches
and the village postoffice. One of
these read:
Lend the book you like to your
neighbor. Help start library for
Woodville."
One hundred and eighty-seven
books rewarded the solicitors And
these were collected by generous au-
tomobile owners, and taken to the
home of the interested mother who
throuph previous knowledge of Ii
brary work was able to catalogue
them simply and get them ready for
circulation.
Meanwhile plans were being made
to secure an empty store in build
ing of central location. A warm little
note appealing to the owners civic
spirit secured the use of the place,
rent free, for a month while the pro-
ject was being started. After that a
very nominal rental was to be charg-
ed which could be easily raised ly an
occasional entertainment
1t was great day when the little
band of workers opened the library.
The shelves once used for dry goods
displayed the 1877 cherished books.
One large table did for a librarians
desk. A few chairs and several shelves
of magazines, all in good condition,
comprised the furnishings. The en-
thusiastic book canvassers became Ii
brarians. giving an afternoon a week
of their time, and enabling neat lit
tie sign on the door to say:
"Woodville Public Library. Open
Monday. Wednesday, Friday and Sat
urday. p. m. to 5 p. m"
At present the children of the com
munity are the most frequent bor-
rowers and it is a source of pleasure
to those in charge TO place good juve-
nile reading in their hands
Plans are on foot for a picnic for
the library's benefit. By this and sim
liar affairs the library board, compos-
ed of other interested mothers and
some of the towns business men, ex-
poets to add new books and defray
the very nominal expense of running
the library.-Mary Collins Terry.

Among other things Mr.. Stottrup
said that the ideas Of the teach
er and the home should coipcide.
The pulse Of the people can be
felt through the school as well
as through the press and best
through the school. Some critics
say that the school is conducted
too much along factory lines in
fact so similar that a whistle
might as well replace the bell on
the school. The finer soul quail
ties are forgotten too much and
the goal Of the diploma is too
apparent. The developing of the
brain a'one does not make a
balanced ration. Many evils of
the day are caused by this un-
balance and the finer soul qrali-
ties should be priced more. It is
very well to hold up Washington,
Lincoln, Roosevelt and others as
examples but the good examples
must also be set fer the child in
his daily life. He must mingle
with the right kind. The speak
er also said he had come to the
conclusion that big salaries would
not be the cure to get thebest
kind Of teachers those with
higher ideals and something
more than a diplomas big sal.
aries would attract the other
kind as we'll.
After Mr.. Stottrup's talk q
lively discussion was entered in.
to on the advisability OF having
an agricultural department in
the local high school and also the
hot lunches in which many took
part. Arthur Ellingson. the high
school principal. also spoke in
favor Of getting piano for the

In the recent General Election
there was only one vote to every
Ave Of population including
men. women and children---in
Pine county, but in the state the
average was one vote to every
three Of population. This would
demonstrate that the interest in
the election here was a little lax
and that Pine county citizens did
not exercise their suffrage rights
generally as much as over the
state.
