Reading Room.

The Bryan Pilot contain a
long communication setting
forth the necessity of a public
library. Theprobability is that
a majority OF the people fully
agree with the writer and this is
the end of the matter. About
eighteen months ago Brennan
took the public library fever and
went so far as to establish a
reading room; it was duly open
ed and appropriately written up
in the BANNER at the time. Hav-
ing succeeded in establishing a
public reading room the inter-.
est in it began to wane. There
were a few books and a consid-
able number of superannuated
newspapers and old maya
zines; the room was regu-
larly kept open of evenings,
for several months, but for
some reason readers did not
come and after awhile the pub
lie reading room was closed and
is now well nigh forgotten. Its
failure is not due to want of en-
terprise on the part of the foun-
ders, but to the apathy of the
people themselves; the boys and
young men for whose benefit it
was chiefly intended found more
pleasure and a more congenial
occupation in loafing on the
street corners or in playing bill
lizards, pool and pigeon-hole,
than in reading, unless they got
hold of a police gazette or some
'::moral" book of a similar char
acter. The real trouble is in
the education ofthe boys. We
do not despair of yet having a
public library.
