From this huge engine of public
instruction, which is far larger and
far more active and far more wide
reaching in its work than is the
like institution of any other coun-
try in the world, comes learning
for all the world.
SIN this public press, must,
of course, be included all printed
journals of every kind, though first
and foremost in extent and power
are the daily papers. BY and
through this vast outpouring of
print, brought daily to the doors
of almost every one of our 49,
600 coo who has the power to
read, come facts, news, information
of every kind.
'"That we are being taught by
daily papers is an astonishing state
ment; ignored for the most part
by students of education and even
by librarians chiefly because it
is so omnipresent as to have be-
come commonplace, unseen because
always seen, and partly because
the news of the world is pre-
scented by the press in a manner
which makes it, to the unthinking,
quite overshadow the news of the
worlds thought, research, explor
alton, literature and social and
national changes and advances. :"

LaValle Church
so Years Old

The st. Paul's Lutheran church
near La Vale will celebrate it's
fiftieth anniversary next Sunday,
July 10. -
The congregation was organized
in 1875 and its first pastor was
the Rev. A. e. Winter of L4o-
ganville, who made periodic trips
to serve the new church. Later
Rev. ]. BIumenkranz took charge
of the church as the first resident
pastor.
During the fifty years $50 chill
dren have been baptized, and 220
persons have been confirmed. The
congregation has also, from its
beginning, taken a lively interest
in mission work. It's present pastor,
the Rev. o. C. Thusius, former
missionary in northwestern AL
berta, Canada, has been with the
church for the past two years.
Herman Lucht, ST., is the only
surviving charter member of the
church. For about forty five years

STORE-DOOR DELIVERY BY
AN EASTERN ROAD

Since trucks on the highways
are eating up some of the freight
business which formerly went to
the railroads, an eastern line is
attempting to turn the tables by
inaugurating a truck service to
stimulate the freight business.
Concerning the tack taken by the
Boston and Maine, Bradstreet says:
Merchandise will be collected at
the door of the shipper and deposit
ed at the door of the consignee,
such merchandise, of course, be-
ing in less than carload lots, and
this service will involve both use
of railroad and motor trucks. The
company is also considering the
employment of motor trucks to
transport less than carload ship
ments between Boston and Law
renee. This system will include,
also the handling by trucks of
merchandise to and from the rail-
road terminals at intermediate
points, and may eventually dis
place the present local freight
trains on the Boston and Maine
between the stations served. The
bulk of the shipments between Bos-
ton and the cities mentioned will
continue to move, however, by rail,
with the direct collection and de-
livery by motor trucks expenditing
the movements at terminals. The
company says that it intends to
contract with existing truck COM
panies for the service wherever
practicable, rather than to engage
in wasteful competition.
