a welcome in EVERY county of Oregon.
In 1828, the school board of Lancaster, Ohio, adopted a
resolution permitting a society of civil engineers to use the
public schoolhouse. That resolution contained the following
paragraph;
"You are welcome to use the schoolhouse to debate all
proper questions in. But such things as railroads and tele
graphs are impossible and rank infidelity. There is nothing
in the word of God about them. It is a device of Satan to
carry the souls of the faithful down to hell."
Lest some one rise to point out that the reference to
telegraphs is absurd because Morse had not yet invented it,
it is recalled that methods of signaling by means other than
his had been, in use under that name for years before he
perfected the electric telegraph.
-Men of small' minds' have 'ever been ready to detect in
material discoveries threats to their spiritual beliefs ,
t ; Everybody is familiar with the witch burning history
made in New England. Scientists and inventors have been
jailed for declaring, newly, discovered truths.

state of the twobyf our men who passed the resolution refer
red to above, could they come back and experience the rail
road ' and the telegraph of the present, not to mention
telephones, electric lights, flying machines, radios and all the
thousand and one things now a part of every day life, but
deemed impossibilities orv undreamed of ninety-seven ;years
ago or, some of them, twenty and less years ago.

For what seems truth today may "be proved a mistaken
notion tomorrow. Take the "science" of chemistry for ex

elementa of the world were four: earth, air, fire and water.
The next chemists (alchemists) thought there were only
, seven metals; gold, silve, quicksilver, copper, tin,' iron and
lead. Modern chemists have been discovering new "elements,'
until, ud to a short time ago, 83 were listed but the brilliant
minds in that sphere are on the trail of several more
" When along comes Madame Curie and discovers radium,
and puts doubt into the minds of thinkers as, to what is el

of eighty and it gives off light, heat and power and finally
reduces itself to lead. J '
': Now the leading thinkers among the chemists, the reveal
ers of nature's secrets, believe all matter may be reduced to
w one element that' only one is elemental ;
For Madame Curie's discovery gave a key to the fact

OREGON A LEADER
- Oregon with less than a million inhabitants and covering
a tremendous expanse of territory over many isolated coun
ties has the fine distinction of fifth place among the . forty
cih t states of the Union in providing county .library service
for its citizens.. , ' , . , , i:'
; Eleven of the thirty-odd counties of the state are how
rendering this type of service: They are Deschutes, Hood
River, Josephine Jackson, -Klamath, Malheur, : Multnomah,
Polk, Union, matilla and Wasco. - ' ' . "
The county library is an educational problem of first
importance in this .state owing to so many sparsely popu
lated counties whose citizens cannot draw on large, city libra
ries for reading matter of greatest value to them. The state
library belongs to all, the people of the state. -It is exception
ally fortunate in having a librarian and assistants efficient
ani sincere in their desire to serve through the county, organ
ization residents of the entire state. The deepest regrets
exprcc J fit tha state institution are. that citizens do .not
make kr-cr, more general use of the great state library ani
that there f.ra cr.ly eleven cut cf the thirty-five counties of
the state ha:nr local libraries. Tha state library distributes
