HINSDALE.
Americas First Library in Dublin.


Dublin. the home of Americas first
free public library, celebrated its first
century mark Oct. - with DIR. Henry
w Piper. a native of the town now
living in Boston as the speaker. Dub
Inns library was founded in 1922 by Rev.
Levi w Leonard, pastor of the towns
most important church, and grandfather
of Frederick Leonard of this town and
w. jackson Leonard of Accord Mass.
1t may be truly said that no episode
in the history of education has been more
important than the founding of the
Dublin library except the starting of the
first school.
Rev. Leonard realized. in his prosper
GUS community, the need of more books
There were only two private libraries
with n few hundred volumes, one owned
| by a society of men and the other by n
society of women. 1t was finally agreed
that these and some collected later
should be merged and the first library,
called the Dublin Juvenile library, was
| started.
Rev. Leonard held the Office of school
committee more than 30 years and
worked untiringly for the education of
the children.
W. jackson Leonard was able to sup
ply evidence that the library was first
opened in his grandfather's study. Here
+ the grown-ups and children from all
parts of the town came TO borrow books
/ from a library with no strings attached
/ For two decades or more previous to
! the Civil war. DIR. Piper said, the books
We're lodged in the house now occupied
| in the summer by Mrs. persis F. Rice. on
shelves placed against the whole rear
wall of the front hall. lie said the old
residents of Dublin still recall the an.
| pearance of the books so accommodated
| before they were removed at the close OF
| the Civil war to the vestry of the church
| DIR. Piper declared that that move was
the best of all, as the vestry was the one
| meeting place. the one public hall put tc
every variety of use for the village and
for the larger portion of the town. To
day the town has beautiful library con.
structed of stone.
In 1888 Peterboro. the sister town
| started library which bears the distinc.
| ton of being the first free public library
| to be maintained by taxation.
| Remarks were made by w. j. Leona nd
and f. S. Leonard.
In memory of the occasion Frederick
| ): Leonard has presented TO the publ,
| library a portrait of his grandfather

DRINKING 0F LIQUOR DROPS
 BY RATI0NINC
Consumption of Intoxicants Reduced In Sweden
 Under New System.

STOCKHOLM, Feb. 22-The con- sumption of intoxicating liquors in Sweden has been reduced nelrly 50
 per cent since the beginning of 1911, when Swedens liquor rltioning sys-
 tenn went into effect. This is shown
 by the latest official reports which
 state that the reduction took place
 without absolutely excluding anyone
 from the use of alcoholic stimulants
 except those who abused the law by drinking to excess.
 Under the Swedish rationing sys- tenn individuals are given cards upon which they can obtain given amount of distilled liquor or wines The maximum amount allowed to any individual is about seven and one half pints per month and this is al lowed to married men. Married wo- men receive no allowance except from their husbands cards while un married women receive as low as one and one-half pints per month On special occasions such as weddings or festivities these allowances arc increased if requested.
 The rationfng cards are revoked in the case of individuals convicted of drunkenness. The official report states that the number of inebriates whose licenses have been taken away have decreased enormously In 1915 the number of inebriates who lost their licenses to buy intoxicants was 50.42 persons per thousand, while in 1921 only 1855 persons per thousand were found guilty of drunkenness.
 The consumption of distilled liquors in Sweden in 1913 amounted to S,541,048 liters, a liter being a trifle less than two pints. In 1921 the Swedish people used 4,920, 400 liters.
 Meantime the population has in creased from 5,750000 to 6,000000.
