THE RALEIGH PUBLIC LIBRARY.
Yesterdays Biblical Recorder speak
ing of the agitation in Raleigh to Sc
cure a public library, said:
"What has within a few weeks been
done in Raleigh towards establishing
a public library can be done in every
community in the State, according to
its size. Books are cheap, aud there is
a variety to select from with no chance
Of making a serious mistake. The State
Library being at Raleigh has long OPP
Grated against a public movement for
free literature in reach Of all the citi-
zens. But the State Library, though
valuable and comprehensive, is by or
der of the State so conducted that but
few Of the working people may enjoy
it's advantages. This is very well; for
State library is designated for the
most part to be Of use in reference and
special study. It would be unwise to
allow books to be taken out and scat
tered throughout the State. 1T would
also be unwise to build up State
library along the lines of public town
library. Their purposes are different"

Many people believed that Columbus
was 3 mere visionary crank wher, he
announced his intention to discover
the great Western Continent When
Franklin began to fish in the air with
a common kite, no one believed that he
would ever capture and bring into use
electricity, the most wonderful reserve
force of nature. Watt, Fulton, ani
other early settlers had to put up with
a good deal of ridicule while they were
boiling water in teakettIes, hoping To
utilize the power of steam. Perhaps
there are people to-day who imagine
that
