Must bear in mind that personal
appearance has much to do with
the acconllflishments of his goal•
The cost will amount to little as
compared with the satisfaction of
ing wonderful lies. Both were ed-
ucational institutions for me in the
way of the writer.
A PRIME WINTER it was for
a free and footloose lad of six-
teen. I had been out alone and
making my own living for three
'years. The writing of books had
been but a daydream all the while.:
The dream found substance in the
Boise library, and it found sub-i
stance in the tall tales heard in,
the Silver Bell Saloon. The com-
bination was---not .bad. It un-
locked my particular door of
American opportunity•
The library, of course, was the
real thing, an American glory.
In 1909 the name of Jack Lon-
dou was famous among hobo
workers of the West. At that time
I trod only read his "Call of the
Wild•" In the Boise library Z
looked up his works and found a
new novel by hlm--"Martin Eden."
It was autobiographical. The nov-
el was read as a book of revela-
tion•
Like Jack London himself, "Mar-
tin Eden" was child laborer, hobo,
social rebel, in the era of the 72-
hour week and the going wage of
15 cents per hour. In the gray
and grimy depths of this life he
miraculously harbored the gem-
like flame of the creative spirit.
At the public library he fed it.
There he received education that
was simple and genuinethe kind
of education that produced a Whit-
man, a Mark Twain, a Dreiser, a
Sandburg, a Sherwood Anderson,
a Mencken, a Holbrook, all non-
university men.
JACK LONDON was a fighter.

art in him and set him burning
with a fighting desire for money.
So he wrote for money, except in
"Martin Eden" and a few other
books and short stories. He came
to a tragic end--tragic in its dis-
illusionment and despair.

Authorities have been arguing lold paper to prevent spread of
for a long time that the university,
as an American educational insti-
tution, has grown tO be too
weighty and bulky. At the same
time, the free public library is
underfed, under- housed, under-
everything that makes for the
educational services needed by ran-
bilious young people who are com-
pelled by circumstances to remain
in the woods, on farms, or in small
towns.
ONE AUTHORITY has termed
the typical American university a
"rolling mill of learning•" He sees
much of their output as junk un-
alloyed. The university, he sug-
gests, is a stronghold of the caste
system in America. He calls much
of the education it offers waste•
I' do not disagree. Journalism and
abort-story writing, for example,
are taught in all universities and
colleges --- why only the Lord
knows. The majority of the en-
during American novels and short
stories were written without bene-
fit of "college education"by the

odor and the dust.
As an aid to fly control the
health office suggests spraying the
,aaz'bage can add cover at least
once a week with a liberal amount
of an ordinary household fly spray
that contains at least a four pet'-
cent concentration of DDT.
The sheet of directions con-
cludes that if Shelton residents
will follow these suggestions they
will eliminate odorous fly-breed-
ing places and will assist the
garbage department in collecting
garbage more readily.
