cheaper frothy kind which is so oft
en- forced upon towns like this and
vulgarlzes the public taste since it is
all they have to attend. A Library
would make such advantages per-
perpetual instead of occasional.
1t is needed from the standpoint
OF the schools. No competent teach
er doing High School work or even
the upper grade work of the Prim-
airy School can rightly do the work
without constant use in the class
room and in the pupils private study
hours of standard works of reference
and books which are literary class
les of the different periods. The
local Schools have absolutely moth
ing OF the sort with which to do the
work they are expected to do.
have investigated the conditions
prevailing at the High School and
estimate that an outlay on the part
of the part on the directors adequate
to give that institution a working
beginning in the way of library
would have to be close to $500. If
your Schools are to have their stand
ing, sooner or later some such
amount will have to come from the
taxpayers of the district, the best
teachers on earth would be handi-
capped if denied material to teach
with and that is about the situation
presented to the efficient and hard
working staff of this district. Why
not add a few extra mills to the tax
levy, as Auburn did when they
laid the foundation for that choice
city library of theirs, and make be-
ginning on the project.
The same library might easily
serve the case of pupils and citizens
at large. The Seattle Public Library
has been of untold usefulness to the
Schools of the metropolis. Private
contributions of course will be large
ly needed for the inception and
maintenance Of the plan, but the
school district ought and easily
could help the idea and make no
better investment Of its funds in all
the range of possibilities.
| have recently heard suggestions
from the members of an influential
Club in town concerning the in
stitution of a reading room. The
only chance for successful read
ing room in small town is in con-
nection with a Public Library and
there a reading room where current
periodicals and magazines are to be
had, is necessary part of the in
stitutiOn.
Though | have only opened dis
cussion of this plan | have already
transgressed my rights to the Couri-
er's space and must leave essential
matters of detail to another article.

A PUBLIC LIBRARY

The subject of a Public Library
has recently been presented to the
Commercial Club of this city and
may now fairly be regarded as be-
longing to the possible things in the
future Of this city. | am aware
that such a proposition may nor at
the first be popular with a large
class of our citizens and wish to set
forth some advantages which it
might be instituted and maintained
without becoming burden.
We have submitted to us in this
city, for public consideration, a
large number of building projects
intended to have a public utility in
a commercial sense and the sue
cesful completion of these is regard
ed as a guarantee Of the future great
hess OF our town. We would well
come the largest possible number Of
these enterprises, for new industries
are essential. They mean new peo-
pie and new people mean new hom-
es, new customers for our merchants
larger constituency for our schools,
with consequent improvement in
their plant, and general strengthen
ing OF all our institutions. The OBJ
lect ought not simply to he more
people but people of the very best
class. No new town can make a
mistake in providing means of re-
hnement and an attractive atmos-
phere for the people who come to
make their homes there. 1t is on
The other band, a mistake of incal-
cullb.e dlm}ge to commercialize
the entire life Of the place, and that
Is a danger very easily fallen into.
There is a human side to life any
where, which it is fatal to ignore.
The future Of this vicinity will not
be decided by the number who
come here because they can find

Seniors and facultu Entertained.

Miss Anna Lederer, principal of
the Ceredo High School, gave an
cat home" to the Seniors and
Faculty at the homo of DR.. and
Mrs. Brurs, Friday evening, May
81.
Effective draperies of yellow and
white decorated every place avail
able IN the rooms where the guests
were entertained. Each Senior had
touch of the colors on. Yellow
aud white brick cream and angel
food and sunshine cake were the
refreshments. All the Seniors sat
at one table and each was given a
pearl lose, the class flower. The
other guests were given white
roses. Quite bit of originality
and skill displayed itself in the
manner CT entertainment. Books
and magazines had been searched
for pictures and quotations; these
were posed on squares of card
board In such a manner as to sug-
gest the name of each person pres.
ent and five out Of the High School
in general. The game was played
with partners, who found each
other by pitting together a puzzle
card. Miss Cere Grothe and Miss
Mary Cox guessed all the names
correctly and drew straws for the
prize which was tall, strong, bios
soming, white geranium, potted
and wrapped IN yellow paper and
tied with yellow ribbon. Miss
Grothe won it. There was no
''booby" prize but Miss Lederer
warned the Seniors by saying that
If any of them guessed the least
number they would have TO take a
terrible English exam. This spur
red the SIS 10 supcrhuman efforts.
The evening was enthusiastical-
ly enjoyed by each and every one,
and when they at last left, one of
the Seniors suggested that the
company was leaving because they
were sure Miss Lederer "couldn't
tolerate them any longer"
The guests were: Mr.. and Mrs.
Grady, Miss Cere Grothe, Miss
Ruth Miller of the Faculty; Misses

The deceased was born at Gin

about two years of age his father

Thousand dollars or more.
William Wright was united in
the holy bonds of matrimouy to
Miss Louisa Allen on tie gath day
Of October, 1878. To this union
were born four children, all of
whom preceded the father to the

sixteen years old last March. Be-
sides this son the deceased leaves a
wife and many other relatives TO
mourn his death.
Mr.. Wright was a consistent
member of the Congregational

William Wright was a man who
had many friends who sincerely
mourn his death. IT'S sad, indeed,
for one to toll and economize and
when just getting ready to live, as
it were, TO be called away. But
the one who knowest what is best
and doeth all things for our good

passed the prime of life, and we
buInbly submit to His will.
