ty library laws throughout the
country are doing more to cstab-
ilsh Libraries on the same basis as
The public schools system than amp
other means. The California
county Library Law has been used
rs model for the Arizona bin.
1t has worked amazingly we'll in
that state, practically every coun.
~ using it.
The bill provides that in coun-
tjrs where there are libraries a.
leady established in cities, but
which are not giving book service
to the county, no new library need
tc established if the supervisors
wish to enter in a contract with
the library and appoint a member
to the board of directors o4 tAA
institution, so that service may bc
given free to the county.
The Arizona Library Associa-
t;on is asking all persons in the
state to write or speak to their
representatives at the legislature
about the bill so that they may be
informed of the opinion Of che
nublc on the issue.

STATE PREPARES BILL WHICH
GIVES BOOKS TO ALL COUNTIES

A county library law which will
make possible the serving Of any
person in Arizona with books will
Ee introduced as bill during the
present session of the Arizona
legislature. :.
The bill has been drafted by
Con P. Cronin, state librarian, and
has been read and approved by
the State Library Association
formed a few weeks ago in Phoe-
nix.
The bill is not a mandatory and
does. not specify any specific sum
fr,m the state funds for library
purposes, but leaves the amounts
to be appropriated from each
coanty to the supervisors of. the
district. In the past, counties in
eluding Pima, have refused sup
port to already established. libra
yies so that persons in the county
might receive books on the ground
that no law permitted such an
appropriation. The present law
would remove such a hindrance.
According to. the American
Library Association, which has
teen cooperating with the state
g. Cup in preparing the bill as well
rs the minds Of the legislators and
the public, declares that the coun-

"Of course, Nogales has to unite
in strength in order to prepare
itself and be ready when the
time comes to take care of this
new business. Great effort
Should be devoted by everybody
interested in the welfare of the
community, to civic improvements
such as paving, etc., which will
render the city attractive, to the

pe cted to locate here permanent

FUTURE LOOKS BRIGHT
SAYS SPIRO PROTO

THE future OF Nogales could
Lot loom any brighter for 1927
and the succeeding years, con-
siGe ring everything that is in store
from the beginning of 1927 for
the development of Nogales and
Ito vicinity, "says Spiro Proto,
Pa esident of the Southern Ariz-
ona Power Company" While
there are numerous elements and
sources that will contribute to
this anticipated development, the
two foremost elements are, first
the completion of the line of
the Southern Pacific Co. Of Mex
ico which in time will increase
tie population of Nogales to a
very appreciable degree and, sec
ond-the development of the
Patagonia Mining Region which,
with its recent rich strikes as, for
instance that Of the Big Jim
Mines, has attracted some of the
lal gest operators in the United
profession, the nation, the world
but its supreme purpose is the
welfare of the childhood of Am
erica.
Very sincerely yours,

1t would appear then that one
wav to eliminate these bad gangs
o. boys, who later become crimin-
ais, is to bring the entire gang un-
Ger better surroundings. The gang
;dsa will not hurt, providing it is
the right kind Of a gang. The en-
vlronment is the thing; the infiu-
ences which control. We will ven
trle the statement that nine out
OF ten boys, lifted from the worst
kind of a gang, will become use
fui citizens. What does all TINS
mean? Simply this: That We
are neglecting our opportunities
ard are d'relict in our duty to the
future manhood, when we DO no'
see to it that these gangs o.
Youngsters are given the r1Sn'
kind of influence, and brought W
uncer more healthy surroundings
The boy deserves a better deal
H. should have chance. We cal
do much to help him.
Nogales international., 1927-01-23
LINE Or TWO

An interesting book has just
been written about gangs of boys.
The author discusses the question
from the standpoint of environ
mtnt. He does not believe boys
arc naturally bad, but become 30
TN ough association. He takes
tho position that if boys were CIV
en- the right sort of training there
would follow a marked reduction
IL the amount Of crime.
Nogales international., 1927-01-23

The disposition of the boy to
join a gang is natural. He wants
to meet with the boys in the neigh
borhood, and unless properly di-
rected such association is most
likely to have serious consequent
ces. Many gangs Of boys do not
view crime with any degree Of
seriousness. They usually begin
their doing of evil in a spirit OF
dev:lishness. The thought o.
crime itself, is given little
thought. However, the punish
m.cnt which follows their wrong
doing makes Of many Of them
hardened criminals The gangs
organized first for diversion, are
soon formed into hardened gangs
of criminals. They then look up
On crime as business. The boy
is calloused, morally, and his re-
formation becomes difficult.
Nogales international., 1927-01-23

We know that many lads 1iavo
bctn saved. and have become use-
full citizens. hecause of proper in
fluences. We may assume that
there are two boys of the same en-
vironment, one that is not whole
some. One Of the two boys is re-
moved into more wholesome at
mosphere, where he first learns
that his future is before him, and
in his hands, and where he under
stands that men are willing TO
trust him, providing his conduct
is such as to deserve It It is
TO difficult matter TO determine
which of the two boys will sue
ceed. Nine times out OF ten the
led who Is given a chance, and re-
moved from the unhealthy sur
round'ngs. will find himself. The
LAD who grows up under the un-
fortunate conditions described VIII
baxe little chance.
Nogales international., 1927-01-23

There is a time, however, when
the boys chances are not 30 hax-
ardous. That is in the very begin
ming. The essential thing is to sur
round him with the proper influ-
enc es. Organizationh like the
Scouts, and Y. M. C. A. do much
to help him.
We have often watched a Boy
Scout troop with admiration. Here
We have often reflected, Is the
very thing for the boy. It makes
pu y Of work. The lad learns how
to do many things, but the teach
ing is done in such a way that ev-
cry minute Of the time is de-
light. There is the first aid
wc1k; how many men Of today
can take care of an emergency
case like a Boy Scout? We must
admit that we have watched the
laos with envy, and with the re-
eret for the lack Of such oppor-
tI.nities in our boyhood.
