This morning will be opened at No. ~,
Center street-middle store of Pierpont's
block-what has long been needed In Rut-
land-a free reading room. The object
and benefits of such an institution are too
well known, and we have too often called
attention thereto, to require, at this time,
anything further upon the subject. For
this reading room, the people of Rutland
are indebted to one Of their citizens, a
young man, not by any means one of our
wealthy men, one who has no axes to grind,
who neither asks or seeks political favors,
but one who knows and appreciates the
value of newspapers and magazines and
whose ambition 10 to do the greatest good
to the greatest number in quiet, unosten-
tatious way.
We rejoice that we have such young
man for fellow townsmap, and only re-
greet that his rare modesty forbids the men
ton of bis name. We rejoice that he has
taken this method of beneftting his fellow
citizens for, as we have said, reading
room has long been a need of Rutland.
The room will be open, free of charge, to
all, and all, especially ladies, are invited
to make full use of its advantages. AS a
promoter of the cause of temperance, its
importance cannot be overestimated, as 1t
furnishes constant and healthy source of
recreation and instruction, and affords a
place where all can congregate and amuse
and educate themselves when the days
labor is oyer. 1t is important and timely,
too, as giving us sure test of the question
whether reading room or library will be
patronized in Rutland. Should this enter
prise receive hearty support and patron
age, then we may expect its continuance
and, also, the establishment, at no distant
day, of public library.
