Downey, state library secretary and organiser, meet with the success in Emery county that her untiring seal merits, the more - in progressive towns of Emery county will have Carnegie libraries In their midst before ma or , months. Bishop S. H. Larsen last week received a letter from Mrs. Downey, urging Castle Dale to take action In the matter at once, and we presume that other towns have received similar letters. In states, counties, cities, and towns the country over the Interest of the hour is concentrated in the erecUon of suitable memorials to the valiant work of our boys in the world war. We don't have much regard for the marble shaft and similar monuments which many communities are considering, but what could be more ennotling than a fine library which would benefit all? Mrs. Downey's letter follows: You are no doubt fully Informed on the rapid progress the library movement is making in Utah and of the cooperation which the church, town councils and school people all over the state are giving to this cause. We now have thirty-si- x towns which have levied library tax and twenty of them already have Carnegie buildings. Many more towns have libraries and are about ready to levy the tax for maintenance support. Now that the war is over Carnegie gifts of buildings will be resumed and the number of Utah towns greatly increased. It Is safe to say that 1920 will see at least fifty towns in Utah with free public libraries. Your town should be one of them. We would like the ward of your town to consider this matter seriously and to let us know what the prospect may be. If there Js interest in your town to progress in this direction, I shall be pleased to make a visit and do everything possible to forward the movement. The expense is met by State provision. The library laws of the state provide that ten per cent of the voters of a municipality sign a petition asking the town council to call a special election to vote a library tax. Only taxpayers vote at the electron, but any voter may sign the petition. If the election carries the council immediately appoints a library board of seven members, including the mayor. The petition to the town council , to call the election Is often signed at the church services where people are assembled and it can be done at once. J with-$30.0- 0 ARE OUR SCHOOLS TO OPEN? Popular opinion in Emery county;' once strongly opthe of schools because of the influenza scare, is now even more strongly in favor of the idea and something must be done. Emery county cannot afford to be looked upon as the only section in the state so hidebound as to neglect the welfare of her children while dances, shows, and everything of an amusement nature is running rampant. "What's the use," is the argument advanced by a few, we understand,-thword coming to us very indirectly, however, and luckily too, for we should dislike to think for a moment that perany parent or son could a that the day entertain single' thought seriously spent in the schoolroom was useless! That thought might be expected from a denizen of the African wildnesses or the darkest ages but not from any citizen of Utah, the state that prides itself on its schools! Even a few weeks of school will help, but why not keep step with our neighbor counties and give the youngsters a full term, eliminating he and putting a little pep into the scheme? It can be done and will partially at least redeem us from the unfortunate" fame we are daily stacking up for our county by our slowness.- - We are going to have a mighty bard time getting competent teachers for our schools in the future as it is. 4 Huntington's eleven grades started up last Monday with excellent attendance recorded, and Castle Dale would most bkely have been prepared to start this coming Monday but for the cold water thrown on the idea by our school board member, who declared that Huntington couldn't have started and had no right to start under a ruling of the board. They did have a right to start, though, according to another member of the school board whom we interviewed on his return from last month's meeting, and their wideawakeness ves them a lead of at the rest of the last two weeks over towns.
