to look into the library site matter"
That committee had Mrs. Frederick b.
CHM as its chairman. And II looked
indeed. As 10 the happy nomination that
resulted I'm Mrs. Ginn's being selected for
the committee that inserted the first
made. for all Oakland knows OF the sue
cessful plans-from site details 10 press
suggestions-that made an suspicious be-
ginning. J o cooperate with Mrs. CHM
four other ladies OF recognized ability
were selected, DIR. Bucket, DR. Knox, Mrs.
John Russ and Mrs. r. Z. Gleason. presi-
dent OF Ebell.
That afternoon late the committee came
together, only for a few moments, how
ever, and named an early hour next day
for meeting and the unfolding Of plans.
The Following morning, November 10, the
committee met again, each having al
ready inquired as TO sites. prices and the
like, and laid out mentally, Napoleon like,
the campaign.
The first thing to decide upon seemed
very properly the site. With none in view
the best work could not be done. The
ladies saw this and secured an option on
the lot at Fourteenth and Grove streets
at once-an agreeing proposition IL not in
every respect and to every one an agree
able one. BY the following Monday night
the Ebell Society knew what it's commit
tee deemed best, concurred, and the fight
began. With this sketch of the beginning
must be considered the shortness of time.
10 realize with what perfectness and dis
patch the matter was handled.
Then the little committee resolved itself
into a committee that included the board
and later a committee of one hundred.
This was done Monday and hastily in or
der that a request to the Council asking
that body TO defer decision as TO parks
might have as much weight as need be.
Then the committee embraced the Ebelrs
four hundred members. and with a gen.
eral feeling in their favor against the
using Of a park for a site the ladies set
10 work.
The option. definitely settled upon Tues
day, November y, seemed satisfactory
and the work went on with no noticeable
or noteworthy dissension. Indeed. with
no dissension whatever within the society.
The proposition as put forward by the
committee of gentlemen who had some
time before made move in the direction
Of site had been Of this character: The
money was TO be subscribed toward a
$50 900 site (unselected), no one 10 make q
payment until all of the $50 900 had been
subscribed. This had not met with pop
ular favor.
The advantage Of organization must
first be considered in reviewing the
Ebells success. Then came the freedom
from political jealousies and ambitions
Not a part OF the constituency, the ladies
were able TO solicit voluntary subscrip-
lions where the men could not. And with
a named. located. definite lot in view do
nations began to come in steadily and en-
couragingly.

and housing OF the Carnegie Library. To
have the library property located and
secured for the city Is. OF course. great
feat but IL Is not the greater. The
greater is the exhibition to the people OF
Oakland Of what can be accomplished 10y
unity of purpose and harmony Of effort.
There have been many propositions ad-
Vanced in Oakland, but they have failed
because OF a lack of unity. The gentle
men have tried time ana again To ac-
complish something. but they have never
been able 10 agree. Hereafter l shall
advocate putting everything IN the hands
Of the ladics. Ii Is we'll ana fitting that
this should have been accomplished by
the women Of Oakland. II Il we'll that
some Of the donations should have been
small and come from the wOrkingman
and the mechanic. Particularly is this
latter a good indication. for II means that
every donation given from this class rep
resents a desire on the part OF some
father TO give his child better advantages
than ne had himself. And all that has
been given 10 this fund, from the small
est. even 10 the greatest, Of which YOU
Will hear later. has been given 10 make
the future generation better than the one
TO which we belong"
Mrs. Gleason read the telegram from c.
p Huntington making a 5000 donation.
which was received with applause. We
are particularly grateful TO the gentle
man. who has lifted all anxiety from our
shoulders. and who. despite the many
calls that are made upon him every day,
has found II in his heart TO make so ltb-
eral and generous a donation at the mo-
ment when IL was needed. For the Ebeu
Society / can hardly express how grateful
we are. This donation has made IL pos
slble for us TO do something that we very
much wanted TO do. IL will give US a sur
plus over and above the amount needed
for the site, and Mr.. Huntington's gen.
crosby will enable us TO carry out our
idea for a children's room in the library.
We have always wanted TO build room
for the little ones. where they can have
little chairs and tables and pleasant sur
roundings. We have a fund OF Sl27 IL
raised by the children I'm dimes and quar-
tiers. and even in one case penny. II rep
resents a great many little gifts. This
fund the ladies Of the Ebell viii duplicate,
making IL S254 50 for this room. The pro-
ceeds Of the baseball game on Saturday
will also go TO that room, and all the sur
plus that is created by this last generous
fund. And would only like 10 say
for the members Of the Ebell Society that
they have donated about $500 without
the work OF the ladies them
selves"

pledge. This was the signal for many
other payments and new pledges and
gifts from old and young. until, IL will be
remembered. that Thanksgiving day. a
short time only after the start. the ladies'
were rejoicing with Oakland in the pos
session of almost $4,000.
Much OF the readiness of Oaklaa nd resi-
dents 10 sign their names for amounts
arose from the opposition to taking one of
the parks and In view of the fact that
Mr. Carnegie has in the past considered
IL quite.as charitable TO add to the parks
of city as 20 its library accommodations:
The history of the days of work and
waiting that the Ebell has experienced
is too well known and appreciated to need
reviewing. Praise from all sides is given
the society collectively and individually.
But IL may be properly added that the
ladies are as eager TO disclaim a super
abundance OF praise as Oakland is 10 give
II. They do not feel that they have done
something that the men could not do. For,
they argue. what could have been done
without the men? And they eagerly dl.
vide the honors showered upon them.
