plans for a public library for Hatties-

the earnest desire Of those who are
moving in this very important civic
matter that there shall be large at

meeting for suggestions, and 1t is
hoped that a permanent association
will be arranged for. In this connec-
ton the suggestion has been made that
public library is not a luxury; 1t Is
not for the cultivated few; it is not for
any intellectual club or exclusive lit
erary set. It is a great, broad, uni
versal public benefaction, 1t lifts the
entire community; it is the right arm
of the intellectual development OF the
people, ministering to the wants OF
those already educated and spreading
