 Considerable hard work has been done in the past to bring the library associ- ation to its present condition and,as usu- al in such cases, large portion of the work has been done by few. It would seem as if so impol tant an institution as a public library and reading room would receive more earnest support from our people. If some of the money which is sent out of town for so called charitable purposes was devoted to the support of missionary institution right here in our midst. we should see results which, ill the other case, we have to exercise our faith to believe accomplished. A we'll stocked library and reading room are as important and effective means of good in community as anything that can be de- vised and, to accomplish the greatest amount of good, should be free. There was never better opportunity for some of our wealthy citizens to perpetuate their names than by donating a sufficient sum for the erection of a building suit able for the purpose and for adding, to the stock of books we now have, all the current literature of the day.
