"IN UNION THERE IS STRENGTH.
The time seems about ripe for the various, improvement associations scattered throughout Baltimore County to form a parent organization, or in other words, to consolidate so that questions affecting the County as a whole may be vigorously and systematically pushed.
"In Union There Is Strength." The neighborhood improvement Association can accomplish a great amount of good, when it comes to things needed in its own section, but for civic betterments for the County as an entirety, the individual effort will have but little effect, therefore to make the power of every single organization felt, there must be a combined force to buck a scheme which will be a detriment to the County as a whole or to back a proposition that will be a betterment.
The Jeffersonian suggests that each of the various improvement associations take up the (matter M their next meeting and immediately "start the ball to rolling," toward an amalgamated body.
reading of their children, will not go amiss. Buy the boy or girl books, not magazines, and encourage them to read; not the "bestsellers" of the season, but the bestsellers of many seasons. Like many of the modern fads is the craze to read the latest book. Any new author, especially if his name is un-pronouncable, is held as a shining light in the literary firmament and declared to be immortal, however, a little time is all that is needed to dull the light and finally fade it from view. There is no value to a book until it has stood the test of at least ten years.
Strange as it may seem, a recent statement of authority declared that the three authors whose books were selling beyond any other, and even beyond the "best-sellers," were Charles Dickens, Robert Louis Stevenson and Mark Twain. This speaks well for the soundness of American reading—yea, we would not give the shadowy companionship of Tom Sawyer on a summer's day, or Sydney Carton in our deeper hours for a thousand new books.
The Jeffersonian earnestly hopes that those who created the idea of a public library for Towson, if the project is dead, will resurrect it and work vigorously to the end that some day in the near future we may be able to point to it with pride.
THE BEST POLICY.
REMEMBER, THE BOYS AND
GIRLS OF TODAY ARE THE
MEN AND WOMEN OP
TOMORROW.
HAS THE MOVEMENT TO ESTABLISH A PUBLIC LIBRARY AT THE COUNTY SEAT DIED A NATURAL DEATH?
We wish Towson had a library, with a librarian who would inspire good reading among our young people as well as the older folks, and assist them in finding the material they need best, for such an institution would be an asset to the County-seat.
Some few years ago there was a great "hub-bub" here concerning the securing of a public library, and for a time it looked as though one would become a reality, but lo, the matter has been evidently forgotten in the mass of other things outlined for the benefit of the town.
Folks will read, especially the youngsters at a certain period in their school life, and if they are not directed and encouraged by having books placed within their reach, they soon develop the "magazine habit.'% The Jeffersonian does not wish to condemn all magazine reading, but it does feel that magazines, if read too frequently, destroy the real love for books.
What is more attractive than the picture cover of a current monthly, the "catchy" illustrations to the alluring short stories, or half-baked articles on most any subject under the sun—the general make-up, a little library in itself and all for 25 cents. Placed by the side of a 500-page book, unadorned by picture cover or illustrations, how attractive the monthly seems, it is like a piece of frosted cake by the side of an ordinary slice of bread.
Magazines are many times cake with frosty icing—books are more like the well baked loaf.
A bit of discretion on the part of parents in the interest of the
Why is it that when our schools become over-crowded and the plea goes out from the authorities for1 funds with which to build additional buildings to house our youngsters, that there is "a wailing and gnashing of teeth"?
The majority of taxpayers' fail to recognize the fact that the boys and girls of today are the men and women of tomorrow, and unless we "train them in the way they should go" the community will suffer greatly.
Public School conditions in this County are deplorable, according to the Board of Education, and from what it says John M. Dennis, Samuel M. Shoemaker, Isaac E. Emerson and a number of others have far better quarters for their cattle than those provided for our children in some localities.
Out of the one million dollar bond issue for Schools, sanctioned by the voters a short time ago, but $250,-000 a year can be expended for new construction, and in the thickly populated areas, this amount will be eaten up in a "jiffy", leaving the outlying districts in the same old rut.
While the congestion is not noticeable in the rural sections of the County, it is quite apparent that some ways and means must be found to care for the overflow in those sections adjacent to the City line, for developments are springing up here and there "over night." Take, for instance, right here in Towson, at least seventy-five new homes have been erected during the past year and with Anneslie, on the York road, just South of the town, looming up with a hundred or more homes, and Stoneleigh being rapidly developed, it means at least one hundred more children for the Towson High School and right now that building is taxed to its capacity, and its overflow crammed into "make-shift" portables, which are not only unsightly, but poorly heated and poorly ventilated; however, the condition existing at Towson is typical of numerous other communities.
The Jeffersonian fully appreciates that the Board of Education has "a hard nut to crack," but the people should not lose sight of the fact that if we want to encourage home-seekers to locate within our borders, we must offer them the advantages of other up-to-date communities.
Speaking of Ben Franklin, we were reminded the other day of the vast army of scrubwomen who take possession of the business quarters of New York, or any other great City, between five and seven every evening. Ben Franklin, if we are not mistaken, was the author of the deathless motto, "honesty is the best policy," and there is no class of people in the world more honest, in. the sense in which he meant it, than these poor drudges. In a great many instances they are about the only honest persons who enter the offices they clean. Careless proprietors leave documents of importance about, sporty ones trust quarts of Scotch to unlocked drawers, absent-minded ones forget their umbrellas or other personal effects, and all, of course, leave their office furnishings unattached. Yet, notwithstanding the temptation or provocation, one rarely hears of even a minor loss at the hands of these scrubwomen.
And how happy and prosperous and comfortable their lives are in consequence! But possibly Ben meant his motto to be more of a threat than a promise.
When there is taxpayers perish.
