VOTES TO PICK BEST
RURAL SCHOOL BOOKS
Twenty-four to Be Selected at
Library Convention.

CHICAGO. May 6.-The best twenty
five books for a one room country school
will be selected by the votes OF several
thousand librarians and teachers at the
annual conferences OF the American
Library Association in Detroit June 26-
July l and OF the National Education
Association In Boston early in July.
The winning titles will be announced
after the conferences 'in order thet
people everywhere may know what
books are considered by librarians and
teachers as most interesting and useful
to children In the elementary grades.
Il was stated by Carl II. Milan. secre-
tary of the American Library Associa-
tioh. M
"a recent study of children's read
ing in one state showed that sometimes
scores of children in given district
do not read anything but the textbooks /:
and that not infrequently there are no
readable books in either the schools or
the homes" Mr.. Milan said. "In other
districts school libraries are made up
Of disca rded books from dusty attics or
of large sets of books, in near-leather
binding. which nobody ever reads.
'It is the hope OF the two associations
conducting the contest that the selec-
ton of his list will serve to stimulate
interest in good books for general read
ing and to encourage the establishment
and development of small school library
collections. The desine OF the organ
ization is to interest not only the teach
ers and librarians but also the school
boards. trustees. public officials, parents
and the children themselves"

500 SHIPPING DUE
TO SHOW INCREASE
Locks Prepare for Heavy Car
goes on Great Lakes This
Season.

SAULr STE. MARIE, Mich. May g.
With the opening OF navigation for the
1922 season this city, at which is located
the 500 locks, has become a scene of
great activity. Indications point ship
ping men say, to decided increase in
marine activity over that of last year,
dull season due to business depression.
Although no such condition is ex-
pected as resulted during the war period,
when the tonnage passing through the
locks broke all records. a decided in
crease over last season is predicted.
The freight tonnage on vessels locking
through in 1921 aggregated but 4S,25S,-
254 short tons. against 79.2s2,496 short
tons for the preceding year. The 1921
total was the smallest in more than a
decade.
The season of 1916 established a
record in freight shipments, 91,sss.219
short tons passing through the locks.
All figures include the traffic for both
Sault Ste. Marie. Mich, and Sault Ste
Marie. Ont. locks being built on either
side of the border
The Michigan locks enable lake vessels
to pass the rapids in st. Mary's River
here and to proceed with but slight de-
lay from the lower lakes to Lake Su-
perior or the reverse. One hundred
steamers pass through the locks eacf
day during a normal season.
The State of Michigan built the frs
ship canal here. completing the projec
in 1853 1t consisted of two locks. ar
ranged tandem, each with lift OF nine
feet. Then came the Weitzel lock. 81
feet long. completed by the unitet
States Government in 1881. In the same
year the Government assumed contro
of the entire project
At that time engineers visiting the Soc
declared the Weitzel lock would be large
enough to handle the greatest boats ever
built on the lakes. Now the Weitzel Is
too small for 80 per cent. of the traffic
and is used as a repair basin or drydock
The Poe lock, 800 feet long and lOC
feet wide, was completed i'm 1896. This
was followed by the Davis lock. 1,35e
feet long and 80 feet wide, md the Sa-
bin lock. of the same dimensions.
The lock across the river in Ontario
is of about the same size as the Poe
Vessels may be locked through the Soc
IN twenty-five minutes.
The American locks are surrounded oy
beautiful government park, largely
designed by l.. c. Sabin, reslden. en-
gineer in charge. who built the Saoin
and Davis locks.
The traffic through the locks in 1920
was three times the amount passing the
Suez canal. More freight passed hero
in october, 1920. than went through the
Panama Canal for the entire year.
The cost of operating and caring for
the st. Mary's canal and locks in 1896
was sf64,oO0, which amounts to less than
three mills on each ton of freight. No
charge is made by the government for
the locking privilege.
