of talk. No brick walls with turret
capped have demonstrated to the world
that the hope of Derby's earnest wish
ers for higher education of the masses
has materialized Everybody has been
hoping for a library Ito come some day.
1t may be that the day now dawneth
and. free books are soon to be enjoyed
by all who love them. The chapter of
the Daughters of the Revolution has
revived this old theme and it is their
prayer and aim that this time the lib
rary shall be realized. The beginning
may be small, but their two hundred
volumes are a better start in the right
direction than preceding ventures. The
daughters have collected in the neigh
borhood of three hundred books and the
| Allings, who have done more to build
| up or advance the material interests of
this place than any other concern have
| donated rooms in their new Elizabeth
street block for the library. 1t was the
| hope that THE Derby East Side Book
club who own four hundred volumes,
would join hands and be partners in
| this grand public boon. The Book club
| thinks otherwise The members, who
number sixty, are satisfied with their
| lot and do not care to sell out for the
| big public's veal. ut looks now as
though the Revolutionists would have
to carry the project, and if the spirit
and courage of those who are tanning
| the flame are not extinguished too early
/ in the history of the endeavor, there
will yet be in our midst a new attrac-
ton and a most valuable acquisition--a
| free lyceum and book house for those
hungry for lore.
