ROSTON'S EXAMPLE.

The librarian Of the Boston Public Library
has lust issued in his annual report summary
Of the civilizing work of that famous institu-
ton. and a statement that shows clearly the
high degree of efficiency to which ii has been
brought in serving the people. II Is docu-
mcnt that the New-Yorkcr may examine with
n largo degree Of envy. He will perhaps envy
first of all the cty's possession Of magnificent
library building that IS not only working
place for the users and keepers of the books II
contains. but a source Of pride and intellectual
refreshment to the citizens OF Boston, in that IL
"a itself n work Of art and enriched as such
with n llberality worthy OF an Italian city
during the Renaissance. He will envy the far
SIGHTED polcy that studies TO make the books IN
tho library as accessible as possible to every
citizen. and the highly organized system with
,ts elaborate and widely extended network OF
AGENCIES for placing its books within reach OF
all citizens. in suburbs however remote. lie
will envy too the civic spirit OF city whose
attitude toward great municipal library Is SO
en,,ohtened and shows so full a consciousness
Of what the possession Of such thing means.
Most of all, perhaps, he will envy the present
course. aud the long record OF the city govern
mept in Boston toward the Public Library that
has resulted In building up one OF the greatest
institutions OF the kind in the country and OPP
crates to keep II at the highest point Of eff
cheney.
