After the church and the school, the library Is the most effective influence for good in America. The school and the library are the two legs upon which the world stands. If either leg is weak the world must wobble as it walks Both institutions are maintained by public funds to develop . more competent citizenship. The library is America’s con tinuation school. If the schools will only teach the reading habit, the library will educate the world It is free to everyone. It is a the Kentuci Lorenzo $turkey Student At The University Of Ky. en and women ship; it provides a common meet ing place for all groups of people, thus helps to do away with class distinctions The future of America depends upon the intelligence of the com munity and the librarian through his or her work can safeguard that future by helping to mould and develop the intelligent citizen. A librarian can do nothing better than cultivate in boys and girls a taste for good literature. The books that a child reads for pleasure do more to determine its ideals and mould its character than the text books studied in schools. We must train our chil dren that our adults are library minded for good literature and that the library consciousness is nation-wide. As a rule the r most successful man in life is the man who has the most information. Therefore we must read if we want to be a success. Abraham Lincoln walked twenty miles to get a/book. There is a three fold function of a library—to educate, to furnish mental recreation, and to inspire A library means beauty, happiness intelligence, and well being, the prosperity and thrift of its com munity. It is a community infor mation service station. A Library often is a place where the spirit finds rest and refuge from the weariness of the workaday world but it is more than that if proper- y used. It is a place of menta) recreation, a healthful playground, a sanctuary where the living may commune with the choicest thought of those whose memories will never die. A community with out a library is a community whose soul is asleep. txt Home Agent’s Sched ule Oct. 31-Nov. 5 Lexington, Ky., Oct. 21.—An all- time high of 3,604 students were enrolled at the University of Ken tucky, Lexington, for the fall ten*, of the 1938-39 school year at the close of registration Monday, Sep tember 26.
