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. , He fought his way into the Uni- PANTORIUM CLEANERS & TAILO RS I VfEassociationS:00ui00:l:f°::00athe::r:ehio:with people with ( ' EVERYM kN ' t / ( ( ( <1 ( ( feeling that a good appearance is ( Success insurance.

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.

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 like of Mark Twain and Edgar 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.
