TO say:
''To tell a good book from a bad one
is, then, a troublesome job. demand
ing. first. Il strong understanding;
second, knowledge. the result Of study
and comparison; third. a delicate SEN

If YOU have some measure Of these
gifts, which, though in part the gift
of the gods, may also be acquired,
and "a always be improved, and can
avoid prcjudice-political prejudice,
social prejudice, religious prejudice,
irreligious prejudice, the prejudice Of

be right nine times out Of ten in your

viction last winter OF the person who

placed at tho disposal of all readers
and with very lew exceptions the
trust is not abused. The members
of the library staff are too busy
with other duties to exercise that

necessary to invoke the arm Of the

may be said. however, that in case

covered, the library authorities will
strive TO have the tull penalty Of
