Need In Richmond For Free Public Library

been set forth This Is the only per-
tion vet presented.
Necessity for Library.
First The. necessity Of a public
library is conclusively esta blished by
the fact that the average schooling OF
the average citizen Of this town Is
between four and Ave years. After
that he has to obtain livelihood and
cannot obtain further education ex-
cept al night school or at a free pub
lie library.
Second. In short, we instruct our
children until they are old enough
10 be educated When they have got
ten 10 this point and lave to leave
school. we give them little or no ia
cilities for continuing their education.
II is this want that public library
will fill. The boy or girl deprived
of an education will thus he enabled
TO overcome the want Of early train
ing and instruction. The only We
hic1e by which this can be accomplish
ed is a public free library. In this
way the hoy or girl will obtain the
best education. For. after all the bet
ter part of every mans education Is
that which he gives himself 1t II
this that free public library should
furnish the opportunity and the means
for.
Third Such public library will
be an adult school furnishing books
and periodicals for the technical in
formation and training OF mechanics.
clerks. engineers. artisans and OF 9TH
ers whose work requires technical
knowledge.
Fourth The free public library
alone can furnish the material for
reading and study for each individ-
ntt he

the problem of supplying a demand
for pleasing entertainment and for
mental training at the least. cost to
the individual II is not a luxury
for the cultivated few or for an ex-
elusive literary set. 1t is great.
broad, useful public benefaction.
Fifth, The absence Of such IL
brary is not the mere absence OF
handsome building and the books con-
tanned therein. The absence of such
library means much more than this.
y means that the community which
Is without such an institution has q

from several cities were invited TO
address the public. an organization
known as the Richmond Library as
ISOLATION was organized and the
movement was formally inaugurated
at a luncheon at the Richmond hotel
attended by the mayor and nufner-
Gus public spirited citizens. Previous
to this a number OF organizations IN
the city had endorsed the movement.
but IL received renewed impetus when
the business Mems club decided IT,
push the campaign The chamber of
commerce heartily approved ii, and
this was followed by the enthusiastic
vote of the Rotary club 10 hack the
movement All these bodies gave
their cordial approval TO the propo-
sition, already unanimously recon- =
mended by the council committee on
buildings and public utilities and twice
presented to the finance committee,
to purchase from Richmond college

present campus fronting ON Franklin

agreed TO donate 10 the city. provided
that from two hundred to two hun

The steps taken by the Richmond

ceptfon of the movement may ha
summa rixed as follows: First. To
accept rCarnegies offer To the city
of Richmond of 100000 to erect a
library building on lot furnished by
the city. with the usual provision of
an appropriation of % per cent of
the Carnegie Gift for maintenance.
This plan was actually presented to a
committee of the council, but when it
was learned that certain labor organ
zations OF the city would oppose it.
the plan was abandoned.
Second. The next move was to-
wards finding centrally situated lot
for sale at reasonable price. ON
which library building might be
erected by the city The committee
of the library association recognized
the desirability of central location.
Such a lot did not seem availa BILE,
and even il it were what prospect is
there of getting an additional appro-
priation OF from $4,000 to $500
