One of the larg est switchboards ever constructed for a single Institution Is employed to transact the telephone business of this store with Its customers. The average number of calls handled per day Is in the neighborhood of 36,000. In extra busy times the number of calls has ex ceeded 50,000 in a single day.

But do not grow excited. We find uo indication at all that this will ever come to pass in the United States. To witness such a system of libraries it possibly would be necessary seven years hence to make a trip to Czecho slovakia, which has a law making es tablishment of such institutions com pulsory. The act w as passed in 1919, and w e are told thut Its provisions are being obediently and even enthusiasti cally carried out by the people. Many of the towns have exceeded the legal requirements.

Czechoslovakia Iiluns to have a public library within reach of every person in the land. I This Is what you might call a form of compulsory progressiveness, but name It what you will, it is a long step ahead from the standpoint of na tlonul education. It would he Interest ing to know how many towns of 5,000 and less In the United States have no public libraries. We venture a count would show more withont them than thus provided. Czechoslovakia's library system doubtless will be a great force In furthering national en lightenment.—New Orleans Times- Picayune.
