Library A Public
Benefaction
(An Editorial)
A library Is not n luxury; It Is not for tho cultured few; It Is not
merely for the ecleiillfloj It Is not for nny intellectual cult or evcliiblvo
literary m'I. It is great broad universal publle Itenofnctlon. IE
lifts tho fiifiitj community; it is the right ami ot tho Intellectual
Jeveloiimeut of the peojde mliilstcrlug to tho wants of Ihoso who am
llrcmly educated mid Hiirendliig n universal dcslio for education. It
Is tho upper story of the public fcIioo! system while It U n broad
'lold wherein rlpo scholars may find fxiller training for their already
Jlghly developed faculties. It Is nbovo nil n iipleudlil Instrument for
the education and culture of those inst massevi of boys and girls that
aro denied tho high privileges of tho aystcnmtlc training of tho schools.
Tho function of tho library as nn institution of society is tho de-
rolopment nnd enrichment of human life In tho ontiro community by
bringing to all tho pooplo tho books that belong to them.
