In his introduction ttja rceont book,
Mr. Carnegie save: most impera
tive duty of the state the universal
education of tho No money
which can be usefully int for this in
dispensable end Bbould be denied. Pub
lic sentiment should, oi the contrary,
' approve the doctrine tkit tho more that
can be judiciously ipe
the country. There is io insurance of
nations so cheap as tM enlightenment
of the people." I .
Now there is no inrtitution so inti
mately, so universally, so constantly
connected with the life of the whole
people as the free public library-no
instrumentality that rso do so much
to civilize society. TM public schools
alone cannot accomplish the task of
elevating mankind to even the most
modest ideal of a wellfrdered society.
Our public schools been the chief
source of the greater general intelli
gence and hence the industrial super
iority of our citizens over those of other
countries. "The Initiative, alertness
and fertility of resource which the

impossibilities. They ate not to blame
for the fact that they) can reach the
great majority during ly ! or
vears, or that only o.e and one-half
per cent of the children ,n the United
State, so through taegb school. But
wherever there is a Pbl.c library the,
teacher, arc to blame. f they do not
graduate all their pupils, at whatever
age they may leave school, into the
People's university.
General intelligence is the necessary
foundation of prosperity and social or-
dTh. m,l.lic libra i "oo' the chief
agencies, if not the most potent ana
breaching agency, for promoting
general intelligence.
Therefore, money devoted to the
maintenance of a pabhc library

Begin the New Year
IN THE RIGHT WAY
By Building
A good start means much to you. Get off on the right
foot and keep going. Don't continue to throw money
away by paying rent, when you can own your own home.
How much did you pay out for rent during 1907? Stop
and figure it out. What have you got to show for it?
Nothing but a bunch of receipts. Suppose you had put
this money into building a home and buying a lot? You'd
have something to show for your coin, wouldn't you? The
same thing holds true in the coming year. Are you going
to waste your mazuma all year, and have 1908 net you noth
ing but a living? Ask your wife about it, and see what
she says.
Building is going to be cheaper this year than ever.
You can buy practically at your own terms. We sell all
kinds of lumber everything needed in any kind of a
house from a small cabin to a palatial mansion. We also
sell Booth-Kelly lumber.
