IL library keeps a city moral and
self respecting and decent. Men,
women and children OF all classes
patronIze such place and the ben
ciits derived are varied and many.
Not to read, to my way Of think
ing, places one In a dreary sphere
of existence, robbed Of a vast
amount OF the joys Of life. The
reading habit is one We should
never neglect, for many are the
roads to adventure leading from
the magazine and book. The man
or woman who has been accustom-
ed to a library. making use Of it
several hours a week, is at this
time missing that library more than
any OF US realize And a city which
doesn't try hard to have a library
because OF Its many paying advan-
tages to the Individual, is woefuIly
lacking In both imagination and ap-
probation OF moral structure.
