William G. Todd Of Atkinson, N. H.,
Is philanthropist wise In his giving.
The Boston Public Library 10 CSC, 900 rich
er for his generosity, and his largess is
to be invested SO as to secure q perma-
nent annual income Of $4,000 to be ex-
pended in maintaining newspaper read
ing room In which papers from every
large city in the world will be found. If
1t did not require struggle to overcome
the temptation to found some weak in
stitution bearing his name instead OF
burying his gift in great organization
already established, Mr.. Todd is man
of less than averagevanity. 1t would be
hard to find an investment In the direc-
ton of popular education likely to be
more beneficial than this one. A read
ing room makes little show. 1t is infiu-
entail nevertheless. New York Tribune.
