BabsOn Discusses Public Libraries

BabSon Park, Mass. Aug g. l am
a great believer in public Libraries
l believe every city should support
a good one. l am especially inter
eSted in the work my friend Thomas
Drier is doing to encourage such
libraries. Andrew Carnegie showed
wisdom in selecting public libraries
for his gifts Whether. however. he
would make the same choice today
we do not know. Certainly. public
libraries now have great compe-
tition from radio. television, and
paper back books
Radio and TelevisiOn
l would not object to these new
developments if they were putting
out better material. The librarian
can urge readers to take out good
books: but listeners to radio and
television get too much Of the stuff
which is thrown out on the air
whether good or bad. Is such ma
terial making our people softer, or
harder?
l wish that cities would support
their public libraries through paid
advertisements in local papers.
Working with the librarian, they
could do much to improve their
citizenry, Just think. one can get

Furthermore while these expert
mental missiles and ant-missiles
are being sent UP every hour of the
day. comparatively few churches
are open each day. The Roman
Catholics set a good example in
keeping their churches open: but Of
the 275, 900 Protestant churches,
only about $500 are registered as
open every day. Those desiring de-
tailed free information on keeping

America was built by church
people New England was settled
by the Pilgrims and Puritans;
Pennsylvania by the Quakers; Vir-
ginia by people from the Church Of
England. The first thing built in
each community was church. and
the next a schoolhouse. Academies
and small colleges followed.
Khrushchev hopes that we will kick
down this ladder by which we
climbed but let us be careful not
to do this.
Conclusion
Churches, schools. and govern
ments must realize that we are liv-
ing in critical period. We must
not let these organizations become
social clubs. We must all work to
make harder citizens. anxious to
render service rather than to get
profits or security. We must not let
our children become 'ssofties." If
they can no longer work in the
cornfield or at the woodpile or kneel
at the church altar, we must give
them something to take the place
Of these great fundamental edu-
Gators.
