The Portland daily press., 1871-11-20

OF the Library Association, nine members only
oe'os present, 1t vas decided to box up the
oeoRs composing the library, and remove them
from the room in the High School Building,
winch was expressly fitted for its reception and
use at the time the building was constructed
Ihls was done, for more than year past have
The books laid boxed up, nc possible use to
any one so far as is known.
Aud now, on the 18th day Of November 1871,
at meeting of this association, nineteen nom
bcrs, forgetting or ignoring their allegiance to
their Alma Mailer favored by the force of aa an
tensely stormy dag, disdaining to entertain mo
tons properly made and seconded, and by vlr-
tue of being the majority of an unavoidabiy
small meeting, voted to give this valuable
library away stipulating for only some small
advantages in favor of present and lite-mem-
hers The High School thus left utterly with
out books-and its usefulness materially Grip
pied.
Did Mr.. Woolson, the real originator and
founder of this library, "who then, and AFTER
wards, added no small share of his own library"
thereto, think, or ever dream it possible that
such an ending OF his efforts could happen?
Did Hon. VIM. Willis, who added by gener-
ols gift, many volumes for the use and benefit
of the High Schoo,-not the Library Associa-
tion-ever suspect that such high banded ac-
ton would ever be resorted to by mere hand
ful of graduates belonging TO this Library As
ISOLATION, compared with the whole number
about 500-who enjoy that high homer? Ger
tainly never. Were any scholars, when con-
tributing books or money either during their
schoo-day or at their graduation, ever haunted
with the thought that possible action CT the
Library Association might deprive the school
of the benefit they then sought to confer?
Not for a moment, and their sense of justice is
now wounded il proportion as their confidence
was implicitly given. Had the books of mis-
cellaneous character been selected out and
given away no one would have complai ned,
but there are many hundreds of books of
reference, History, Travels, Biosrapl y, Litera-
ture, &C., bearing upon the studies taught in |
the High School, that absolutely cannot be
spared, except at the expense of the education
non. attainabIe in that school.
1t is believed that really this action of the
Library Association is illegal, and that action
at law would prove it go, but to this resort we
be forced; it is one demanded only |
where great pecuniary interests are involved.
II honor and fair dealing have taken their
goodbye of those few who in this instance
happened to possess the power, we may find it
advisable to appeal to a generous public to re-
p .ir the inflicted evil. and lay the foundation
Of library that shall be the property of the
school, to be under its sole management and |
control. Suppose, however, the action taken,
is technically right, is it SO morally? II not,
then the faint is fatal. No sophistry can hide
it, and soon or late, the just recompense OF
wrong doing will be meted out.
