Has Your Town a Library ?

Next to schools, churches and newspa-

educational value in a town and no mat
ter how small town in Vermont may be
it can secure public library. The state
library beard has just renewed its annual
offer as fellows:
The state is willing to give 500 worth
of books fer that purpose il your town

qulred by law, which are as follows:--
First see that these articles are inserted in
the warning for the coming town meet
ing:
/. To see IL the town will elect a
board OF five library trustees and instruct
such board to make application to the
Slate Board of Library commissioners for
state aid.
2. To see what sum, if any, the town
will appropriate fer the maintenance of a
free public library.
II the grand list of your town is less
than $4,000, tie sum must be not less
than S15.
If the grand list OF your town is more
than s25oo, yet less than SO. 1000, the sum
to be appropriated must be not less than
S25.
Ifrhe grand list is s10,0 900 or moro, the
sum TO be ralsed must De not less tnan
$50. Many towns show their desire for
civic Improvement by raising much high
er sums than the state requires of them.
The state of Vermont recognizes that a
free public library is necessary to the ed
ucation of its children and the develop
ment of its people in the same manner as
the free school.
A free public library owned and con-
trolled by the town has a fixed income,
and is not dependent upon spasmcdic at
tempts to increase its funds. 1t can be
made of practical use in connection with
the schools, or in the education of those
who have been unable to have a full
school course, and pleasure, profit and
aid to the entire community.
In many of our larger tow ms and cities,
private enterprises and benevolences have
supplied advantages and opportunities
which have tempted ambitious and in
telIigent scholars from towns and
homes which could i'll afford to spare
them. No town in Vermont can afford
to have the name of depriving its boys
and girls of the culture and inspira-
ton to be found in free library. No
town can afford to be reported to the
state and country rs too niggardly to
cooperate with the state for the benefit
of its own children. Z
If further information is desired, any
member of the library commission or its
secretary will be glad to furnish it.

The Hughes movement in New York,
which started out so auspiciously, seems
to have fallen into bad way, At its be-
ginning, it was frowned on by the ma
chine in power, especially in New York
city, whose Republican committee twice
refused to endorse Hughes, and only did
so at last under compulsion. The strong
popular demand in the state for Hughes
gave bunch of disgruntled politicians
their chance to get chunk" with the ma
chine, and they took it. OF the two
crowds, it must be admitted that the one
which has taken up Hughes is little, if
any, improvement over the Parsons
Woodruff machine. Both are now osten.
sibly behind Hughes, but the Odell-Brack-
EFT combination suspects, or rretends to
suspect, the other lot, and proposes to
fight to keep them off the state delega-
tion, claiming that Hughes prospects
cannot safely be entrusted to them. A
wise way would be to divide the delegates
between the two factions and let each
watch the other. The whole proceeding
must disgust Hughes and his sincere adj
mirers.
