the northern hilly section. In the seeord

of our State, the coasted plain, The re

the next speaker. Her subject was ssTrav-

nays men made safe storehouses where
BOOKS were Kept in state and people made
pilgrimage to these as to a shrine. in
faith or in curiosity, according to the
spirit of the pilgrim.
Let me present my subject to YOU in
Two estlons:-What are travelling libra

go from the capitol of a State to every
ciay, toWn, village or community which
asks FOR them. They are circulating libra
RES with this distinction, that an entire
library circulates instead of a SINCE
BOOK. They are Libraries supplied ny the
state, from funds set apart for that pur-
pose: They are under the care and au-
thority of the State. and are sent in ac-
cordance with the State rules governing
ting loan of such libraries. There are IL
braries on every now topic of our day
or any day. Best of all, the expense is
merely nominal.
I'm regard to the value. There are
country villages and sentiments where
people are longing for books and good
reading. There are places with libraries
which some cannot afford to Join and
there are no funds for new books, and
no one who can really keep the libraries
up to date.
Travelling libraries would create a
taste for the best reading, would culti-
vate further a taste already formed and
correct a faulty taste in reading. They
would teach courteous consideration Of
the claims of ones neighbor. Here comes
a third question, what steps must we take

slasac and make others believe, and
then we must convince the Governor
