In another school, a visitor reported that some interest was
caused among the pupils by the announcement that for the first time,
one of the children was “willing to read” before the school. It
was not customary in that school to make them read before the
others until they voluntarily chose to do so. The idea seemed to be
to make the work purely voluntary. If there were rules, they must
have been very few.
Many modern educators feel that to get the best work out of
children, the element of compulsion must be taken away, and they
must be so appealed to with other motives that they will do good
work of their own accord.
Considering how many children there are who can be roused
from their indifierence only with great dimculty, it seems doubtful
if such methods would work with the average child. In an ordinary
school run on that basis, there would probably be a great deal of
irregularity. Some ambitious children would go ahead fast. But
a lot of others would drag along behind. Apparently there would
be a good deal of disorder, interfering with the efiorts of those who
wanted to work.
Ordinary children need some restraint to make them attend to
business, also a regular task laid out to be done each day. As they
are not yet grown men and women, a touch of discipline “fill be

Public Libraries
Only 11,000,000 of the 110,000,000 people in this country are
borrowers of books from public libraries, according to reports to be
delivered before the annual meeting of the American Library
Association this month. This will surprise many people. They had
looked at the United States as a country where the people were
being educated by a magnificent system of free libraries, and yet
only one person out of ten is able or willing to take advantage of
these opportunities.
This failure of the libraries to reach more than a small pro-
portion of the people is not due to the fault of library Workers.
Formerly it used to be considered the prnicipal business of a librarian
to guard his books, and see that they were not lost. But under the
modern view-point of the profession, it is his principal business to
induce the public to read and use his books, and he is not satisfied
to have them lying idle and unread on big shelves.
Every citizen and every boy and girl Blight to be taking books
from some library with a view to mental development.
Every community in the United States ought to have free
library privileges. Each village should have its little nest egg of
books. Even if it starts with only a dozen volumes, once a public
collection starts, it grows easily. People give it books with which
hey are finished, and a small appropriation from public funds will
make a regular addition of new volumes. I
The people who have acquired the library book habit find that.

The Old Homested
Americans will understand the sentiment that moved President
Harding to the purchase of the farm in North Bloomfield township,
Ohio, on which he was born. The old home tugs at all heart strings,
but particularly at those of the farm boy who has gone townward .
or cityward. The memories of a country boyhood are more nearly
perfect than the‘ boyhood itself; the night that Bossie refused to
come to the pasture bars, the cold winter mornings and the patch
of icy oilcloth by the bed, the inferno like best of the haymow to al
boy stowing away—time wipes these out, makes them vague and dim.
What stands out sharply of the barefoot past is the host of days
when the world was pleasant, when the brook sang through the
meadow, when swimming was just across the back lot, when there
was a woodchuck to stalk across the kitchen garden.
Some who realize their ambition as the President has done often
are vaguely disappointed. They are unable to reenthrone the past
completely, and they are equally unwilling to reconcile the past and
the present. I
In this respect President Harding is wise. He will not hesitate
_ to make changes, even perhaps to installing a golf course. The
best of the past will be just as surely around for his having made
the best of the present.
