Approximately 1,600,000 readers use Illinois libraries. Nearly 2,000,â€" 000 people in the state are without public library service. Ten counâ€" ties have no public libraries within their borders. One aim of the Liâ€" brary Extension Division in making the survey is to obtain information upon which to base a state program for library development which will more nearly equalize the educational opportunities which public libraries offer to Illinois readers. .Pronounce Them + Cohnâ€"endeared comedian, farce writer, song writerâ€"sound the h: Coâ€"Han. ; The survey will cover the 277 free public librariés and 54 association libraries of the state, and will be particularly concerned with the edâ€" ucational resources now offered and the relation of the public libraries to other educational agencies. Educating . themselves â€" through reading and discussion is an inâ€" creagingly popular occupation among men and women throughout the country,, Miss Price reports, and libraries in Illinois,: like those in other states, have been heavily overâ€" taxed . by the demands ;made upon them. Community programs of eduâ€" cation in many cities are also throwâ€" ing a burden upon library resources which librarians are finding it alâ€" most impossible to meet with their present reduced resources. â€"â€" Library Survey Better book service for Illincis readers is the object of a state surâ€" vey of public libraries, being started this week with the aid of twenty librarians employed under the Civil Works administration, according to an announcement: received by Miss Cora Hendee from Miss Anna May Price, superintendent of the State Library Extension Division at Springfield. i SEND RALPH CHURCH TO C HE BELONGS THER PAGE TWELVE An Open Letter | James Simpson ..

Should be of interest especially to in the early nineteenth centuiry opens i with the ‘taking of a véry rich‘prize by a privateer in Southâ€" ern waters. The booty is divided among the men, and the influence of unaccustomed wealth on the individâ€" ual lives and the suspicion of piracy which hangs over the whole affair make an interesting novel.
