In order to accomplish this purpose most efâ€" fectively, to assure as far as possiâ€" ble that the books soâ€"circulated shall be read with most profit and that HICHLAND PARK PUBLIC LIBRARY ulfill the purpose as the is paid in advance. The school is crowded. The district is short of funds and a rigid economy program has been outlined by the school board, whereby they will be able to remain in session for nine months. Board members are E. L. Vinyard, M. O. Hopkins and Roy Clavey. No pupils who live outside the district will be admitted this year, unless the full amount of the tuition, $50.00, ($15.00 for each semester) is paid in advance. The school is The Wilmot school at the corner of Deerfleld avenue and Wilmot road, will open Monday, Sept. 12, with the same teachers as on last year‘s staff.

Productive The primary purpose of the pubâ€" lie library is to aid citizens in carâ€" _rying on their education till the end of life â€" to make and keep citiâ€" zens enlightened. It is hard to measure the dollars and cents value of library education, but I have known of hundreds of cases where pecple of all ages have fitted themâ€" seives for better jobs, have secured information of fundamental imporâ€" tance to them in their businesses and professions through the use of pubâ€" licâ€"library facilities.~ I believe it could be shown that there is less juvenile delinquency and adult crime (requiring unproductive expendiâ€") tures) where libriaries are well supâ€" ported, and well administered, since they turn the thoughts of library users from idle, low,, often vicious, unproductive channels to those that are more wholesome, stimulating, and productive. Libraries help to produce saner and more successful room use to any teacher. If the list of needs is supplied a few days in advance, the books can be made ready for class room use. Further information may be had from the children‘s librarian. â€"George F. Bowerman, Librariah; ‘ashington, D. C. Phone H.
