pie as whole are yearning to share
in the world of ideas" and instances
as proof the crowding of schools. the
thousands visiting museums and the
immense circulation of books from
our public libraries. The author says
that small city whose public library

ideal of the city beautiful than one in

The author concludes that "genteel" Is
not a hereditary caste, but that "it
represents those in any generation
with gentle tastes. They may have
horny hands, they may five in tene.

they are interested in the things of
