Regarding the Library.

There is an idea abroad that public
libraries, including the one at Randolph,
should be open Sundays for the benefit OF
those busy people who cannot patronize a
library weekdays and in order to provide
for the idle, and consequently mischley-
Gus, an attractive lounging place with a
more elevating atmosphere than the
haunts where they most frequently con-
gregate.
The library OF congress, which is now
opened on Sunday, is cited as an example
OF the beneficial results that follow the
adoption OF the scheme. The first Sunday
the attendance was 1900, double the aver
age of any other day in the year, though
the rooms were open only eight hours, and
only rs per cent of the books called for
were fiction.
While in Washington, New York, Chi
cago and the other large cities life Tor
thousands may be such an unending
slavery that they can only avail them
selves Sunday OF the privileges of the
public libraries, il is no such strenuous
affair in Randolph or places several sizes
larger 1t would be hard to find a person
in these smaller towns who does not have
some time out OF every twenty-four hours,
in which to indulge an inclination for
reading. Their period of leisure is usually
in the evening, and in order to accommo-
date these workers, who are by no means
small part OF the population, library
ought to be open one or two evenings
every week
The churches are open Sunday for the
rendering of praise and Thanksgiving to
the Giver OF All Good Gifts, including
books and chance to read them, and the
atmosphere OF these places Of worship
busy people will find upon trial TO be
fully as conducive to mental growth and
higher living as the best equipped OF
libraries.
As for the idle who lounge about from
one place to another, seeking distraction,
with no regard for the real significance OF
the day, the object of its institution and
the uses to which it should be put, they
are not book worms as general rule and
would not be missing in large numbers
from their present corners il there were a
dozen libraries open Sunday. Trying to
raise the general average OF community
by lowering the highest standards to the
level of the worst element is always a
favorite philanthropical device and is like
reducing the mountains to the level OF
MOLE hills to increase the altitude of the
mole hills.

Made owners rich.
