THE CARXEGIE LIBRARY (This column for the next few weeks will be devoted to the interests of a free public library for Grants Pass. The purpose Is to make this a medium for a free expression of opinions on this Important subject. Address contributions to the . Library Column.) The traveler in New England is often astonished and greatly impress ed by the large number of free pub lie libraries scattered throughout the country. Every city, every town of a few thousand inhabitants, and In many places even the village of less than a thousand souls has Its free public library and the value of the entertainment and Instruction the people of this favored locality derive from these Institutions can scarcely be estimated. The publls library means more to the people of the small town In the way of entertain ment than it does to the dwellers in a large city. In the small towns there Is a lack of entertainment and they turn to the books of the library to while away the long winter even ings. W?e are a nation of readers; whether We read for pastime and amusement or for enlightenment and Instruction, It Is safe to say that eighty per cent of the American peo ple spend at least one hour a day In reading. The public library, with Its extensive collection of books of every nature, Its reading rooms with countless magazines and newspapers, Is a potent factor In the education of the nation. Thousands of hoys and girls, especially In the densely populated manufacturing districts of the Atlantic Btates, are compelled at an early age to leave school and go out Into the world to earn their own living and help to support others. Through the medium of the free pub lic library they are enabled to com plete their education and become well Informed men and women, cap able of taking their place In the af fairs of the world. What a treasure the free public library would have been to such men as Lincoln, Grant and many other men of their age, who fought their way to the highest places over every obstacle In the way of securing an education. The Boston free public, library, founded In 1852, was the pioneer In the United States of free public libraries supported by general taxa tion. Next to the Congressional li brary In Washington, it Is the larg- Af nn J aA I important collection of books In America and it Is fitting- ly housed In one of the most beautl- rui library structures in the world. The state, by giving part of the land which forms its site, and manv pub lic spirited citizens by contribution nnd bequests, have united with the city In the effort to make this library representative of all that Is worthiest In American Institutions tv, t public library Is now known In count less cities nnd towns. Traveling li braries are carrying Instruction and entertainment to many a lonely farm house or humble work shop Slowly, l,t Rlirolv, nn apprerlntlon for the best In art and literature Is permeating the masses and In all this work for the bettering of hu manity Boston has been a pathfinder and nn Inspiring power. The cen tral library of noston contained a few years ago nhot SOO.flOO vol mnos, and besides this, there nre teu or twelve branch libraries, each with an extensive nnd permanent coller Ion of books.

Fenimore Cooper, Mark Twain, Oliver Optic, Horatio Alger, Jr. books of travel and adventure were to be had for the asking. Some of these volumes were near ly worn out through long years of handling by youthful hands, and the tattered condition of the book gen erally attested its popularity. On Wednesday and Saturday afternoons, which were school holidays, the children of the wealthy, the middle classes and the rag-tag of the city met on common ground In the wait ing room of the library. A newsboy from the "Newsboys Home" went away with smiling face and a copy of "Ragged Dick," "Rough and Ready" or some other story from the pen of Horatio Alger, Jr., under his arm. No doubt the story of his own life, poor little waif of a hustling city, was as full of adventure and romance as the tale he so eagerly de voured. Some of these little fel lows from the Newsboys' Home were studious and ambitious, filled with a desire to learn, and carried home with them books of history and trav el. The lihrary was a boon to all, high and low, rich and poor, and a wonderful help to thousands of stud ents who filled the many Institutions of education for which that city Is noted. The libraries of the country towns are generally endowed In a spirit of philanthropy by some wealthy cltl zen and the benefit to the little com munlty can not be calculated In dol lars and cents. Under the Carnegie endowment system It Is not hard for a town to secure the foundation of a fine library that will always be a great benefit to the town that takes advantage of the opportunity. The burden it inflicts upon the people Is a trifling one and unless one has had the opportunity to observe the bene fits of the free public library to the dwellers of a community, they can not realize the value of such an in stitution and the Influence for bet ter Ideals It exerts. Nearly all the progressive and up-to-date towns of the United States that nre eligible are striving to secure a Carnegie li brary, and any town that can by a little effort secure such a gift and fails to do so, is working a hardship on the majority of its citizens. There Is no Institution from which the pub He ran derive such valuable and per manent benefit. TOE WHARTON. Mr. Fanner: We have Just re ceived a stock of Kami levels.
