The Rural Library
The following extracts were TAX
en- from an article in the Journal
Of Rural Education by Allen HUI
itzer:
"One of the important provis-
ions for an adequate rural school
is an ample library. There must
be an opportunity for vicarious
experience through wide reading,
not simply reading in order to
prepare for leisure time to come,
but reading that will present what
Babbitt has called "a clear win
dow through which one can look
out on existance."
IF rural education is to be eff
ficient, there must be wider, rich
er sources to form and inform
rural children. Books, magazines
and pictures must serve to give
him glimpses Of these history
makers. This lack of social con-
facts in the rural districts. which
must be supplemented by hbrar-
les, is but one of the inherent
weaknesses of the rural school"
The Carnival Library contest is
one of the big pieces of work
backed by the Wolf Point bust
ness men. Children of the winning
schools are going to be grateful
to these men for years to come.
Good books are good friends. Pat
rons of District As should vote for
Victory, Volt or Roosevelt as the
district has been divided into
three sections for the contest.
