TEN of measurement that developed by chance.
The United States certainly will be using the met

will force us to adopt it, We are concerned about

we are concerned about these things, surely
will adopt the metric system.
The questions are when and how.
These are important questions. They can be
answered only by serious study such as that now
being considered by Congress.
Three soft steps
1t is obvious, however, that the United States
cannot adopt the metric system overnight. Ii will

especially because his department of public libraries
just had its ninth birthday. His department has had
to work hard to catch up to reading needs during
those years and by 1865, hopes to have one-and-a-
half books for every county resident
The county owns 331 900 books now They line
shelves in Is libraries and three bookmobles. That
the county government is eager to have its citizens
wel-read is Illustrated by the fact that last years
library budget request of $660000 was pared only to
$652000.
Moreland compared the budget ALLEGATION to the
1960-61 budget request of nearby Baltimore County
libraries They asked for 100000 and got $58OOOO,
Moreland said
Moreand has SO ful-time positions with which to
his library system Some of these full-time jobs
broken in two in order that part-tme help can be
hired.
The county has two kinds of libraries: class "a"
and 3D." A class "a" library stays open GO hours a
week and class B" libraries are open fewer hours.
Examples of "a" and ''B" libraries are Bethesda
(A) and Garrett Park OBJ. Bethesda's hours are 9
until pm. weekdays and until 5 pm. Satur-
days. Garrett Park and other class 'B" libraries have
varying morning and evening hours averaging around
% hours week.
Before the county took over administration of
public libraries they financed by special taxes
in political subdivisions by contributions The only
private public library left is in Takoma Park. 1t is
financed by tax money from both Montgomery and
Prince Georges residents of the bi-county city.

was finished by the technical staff of the Park and

Montgomery County residents may read more
books than residents of any community of comparable
size.
This belief, held by George B. Moreland, director
of public libraries in the county, could be confirmed by
the 1860 census.
Moreland has some strong arguments in favor of
his contention. For instance, just branch library
the one in Bethesda-crculated 511 ,599 books last
year. It's the countys busiest.
This is twice many books circulated by any
branch library in Baltimore and just about as many
books circulated last year by the very large
Central Library for the District of Columbia, More
land said. S
Furthermore Moreland said, Montgomery Coun-
ty libraries circulated combined total of q $4,000
books last year, whereas the District of Columbia
circulated about 100000.
The difference between the two totals energies
in sharp focus when you compare populations of the
two communities: D. C. has $4,000 and the estimated
1860 Montgomery County population is 365000.
In other words, there are more than twice as
many people living in Washington, but Montgomery
COuntians read nearly many books as do Washing
tons teeming thousands.
The county's high rate of literacy can be ex-
planned largely by other census figures obtained in
1850. 1t was found at that time that Montgomery
County had the second highest national level of edu
cation in the 25yearand-over age group. Arlington
County, Va. was first.
Moreland thinks Montgomery County has good
chance of coming out top this year. thanks to the
continuing population boom and increasing science
industry whose workers live in the county.
National figures prove, Moreland said, that the
average Montgomery County resident rs years old
has had IL years of schooling including year
i'm college.
Moreland points to these statistics with pride,

Mystery In Failure
DR.. SilverStein said the reason
for the Atlas failure was still
a mystery.
But we recovered 95 per
cent Of the capsule-from so

information on It," he said.
"The telemetry (radio and

I'VE recovered all the in

A top space agency official
said today that the Project

gram is essentially ION the

italy planned.
Despite some published re-
ports of serious lags in the pro-
gram mo major problems"

is director Of space flight pro-

DR.. Silverstein also reported
that everything inside the
Mercury capsule fired from
Cape Canaveral, Fla, July 20
worked properly even though
the Atlas launching vehicle
failed.
Seven Being Trained
The agency still plans to
launch Mercury astronauts into
suborbital flights this year and
into orbits around the earth
next year, as nearly on sched-
ule as is possible in any am

Seven men are being trained
for orbital flights of 1850
miles an hour. three or more

titudes of 20 miles. These full.
scale Atlas-launched missions
will be preceded by suborbita
