installed an efficient system of
learning and has made music a
major part of the curriculum, rath-

has had all of the school work at
his fingertips, and his activities in
community service have been given
cheerfully and have resulted in no
small measure of community i'm

cepted this new work because he
believes it offers better opportun-

ion, and truly hope that he may
remain here. The resignation
was presented to the president of

Members of the Junior class in
the cast of the annual class play
outdid themselves in the presenta-

the Junior High auditorium Friday
night. This play was under the
sole direction of Miss Marjorie

did splendid job Of training the
young people.
Attendance at this play was not
as great as similar performances of

This cast, well selected, present
ed in "Foot-Loose" the problems of
young people when they are sud-

the parents leave the care of the
home to them and they can live
their lives as they wish. The sit

just in the natural course Of young

Under Program Byrant
Library Has Reached
Into Two Counties

With "a rural district schools en-
tered in the library's rural service
distributions peak entry since the
beginning of the service in 1886
the long arm Of the Bryant Library
reached out into schools of two
counties, an estimated 250 students
and perhaps double that number of
adults in the rural community sur
rounding, it was learned this week.
For nine months, with a yearly
volume circulation of 500, each
school will get a monthly book box
Of some so volumes to correlate
class room study with background
reading.
Fruits of this three-year-old
program to aid the rural COM
munities Is expressed In the ex-
pansion of the program to "A

ly in Todd county, two are both
in Stearns and Todd.
A circulation peak that Is expect
ed to hit the highest in the history
Is anticipated this year, librarian
Miss Bernice Finnegan forecast.
Even a nominal circulation of each
volume would net a circulation Of
80, ,0O0-nearly equalling the peak
circulation of 1888 for the city Of
10000.
To provide for this service the
library keeps a rotating stock of
some 1000 volumes, used for moth

Gandrud's
Burglarized
Monday
Approximately $700
Worth of Merchandise
And Cash Was Taken
ENTERED THRU REAR
Evidence Indicates Burg
lars Made Complete
Survey Before Robbery

A burglary at the Gandrud Fed
Grated Store in this city early Mon
day morning resusod in the loss
of approximately $700 worth Of
merchandise and between $40 and
SIS in money from the cash reg
lister.
Investigation of the robbery is
now being made by Sheriff Art Nc
Intee and his deputies, who are
seeking clues to identify the burg
lars.
Entrance to the building was
gained by breaking window in
the toilet at the rear of the store
and both rear doors were then un-
locked. A large amount of mer-
chandise was then loaded into a
truck and hauled away. No part
Of the building was neglected in
this methodical piece Of work, for
the burglars took merchandise from
every part of the store and also
worked in the basement.
Most of the merchandise taken
was that purchased for the holi-
day trade, and it consisted of silk
dresses, ladies' coats, skirts, house
coats, bathrobes, mems gloves,
shirts, ties, blankets, billfolds and
a radio.
Although it is impossible to de-
termine the time Of the robbery,
it is thought that it occurred early
Monday morning, sometime after
the lights in the alley were turned
off. Officer Schlichte made his
regular rounds that night, and
there was no indication Of a rob-
berry when he made his last trip
through the alley. The officer per-
formed his duties in his usual ef-
ficient manner.
The burglars worked so smooth
ly that indications point to the fact
that they had made a complete
investigation and plan Of the store
some days before the robbery.
Evidence indicates that a large
truck was used to haul the mer-
chandise away. An attempt to get
fingerprints was unsuccessful as it
it believed the men wore gloves
in their work. Other clues were
discovered which may lead to tang
ible evidence later.

7zvemU-Fomr Rural Districts
Entered In Library Service

Books are purchased from the state
aid list.
Besides the $50 pupils of the
schools registered, farmers and res.
idents of the school district have
access to the books. In addition
each school is allowed to draw ten
adult books from the shelves of
the local collection. Excepted only
are rental and recent fiction books.
Teachers of the rural schools
have expressed their opinion on the
service. For the most part they
concur that it's a great service to
the school; that to be without it is
a definite handicap.
1.-THE greatest future of it is,'
Miss Finnegan believes, that it
gives pupils in rural districts at
least a part of the advantages for
background work that pupils in the
school right next to the library are
afforded" The finding Is that the
difference between pupils without
any form of library service is def
initely lower than those who have
it. That's not universally true,'
she said. But it does afford them
an advantage"
The system has grown to be a big
part Of the library's work. It's cir
culation alone is nearly as large,
and it may top, that of the city
that nearly doubled from 1887 to
1888, has risen steadily since 1885.
It's added another 1000 Of volumes
to the shelves, it's reached into
more rural homes than ever before.
II feel that this rural service is
a vital force in helping the library
to become a real part of the COM
