sixty six, sixteen are provided with

removed from institutions which give a
distinct educational advantage, and they

Of the books which GO to make up a

should take immediate steps to secure
Libraries through the assistance Of the
state To such towns as apply under
the usual condition, the state furnishes
one hundred dollars worth Of books at
the outset and aid each year thereafter
If the library does good work That is
a modest start, but generous enough to
encourage the founding of many more
libraries in Vermont. The mistaken mo-
tion sometimes prevails that library is
not worth while unless It is housed in
fine structure devoted exclusively TO
the work; but the library building Is
only the she'll. The books are the real
library, and they can do as much good
If distributed from private house as
