But our enterprising and progressive

neighbors are not satisiied that the great cities, the towns and villages shall have abundance of the best books. State

governments and legislatures have ftaken thoughtfthat in the settlements and school districts of the back country the

same intellectual hunger exists and has a like claim to',be gratified. This, has

given rise to the scheme of travelling

libraries, under which, at a moderate cost toths state, hundreds of localities obtain the loan for a few months of books

audi other States of the Union -have adopted the travelling library system. 8-D4 it has worked so well and met with so

much popular approval, that the system is beingllbroadened and extended from year tolyear. In New York in 1893 there were 540 rural districts which availed

themselves of the privileges offered, each receiving 100 volumes for six months. The

cost to the State for the purchase of new volumes and the management and dis- tribution of the 40,000 volumes forthe

year mentioned was less than 10,003 dollars. '

In no community of the world :perhaps

is the Government more liberal in its an-

nual grant for education than here in Prince Edward Island. Let this be

spoken in our praise. But it is equally true that in few communities where the

English language is spoken has less been done te help the reading public to obtain access to books. Our ways have not

been equal in this regard. We haveilost the sense of proportion. The education supplied in our schools and colleges, if it is worth anything Iatfall, [must create a

desire for reading, an intellectual hunger, which no provision is made to satisfy: This creates discontent and fosters the

where books are abundant and accessible

ltoan. _

We have seen what is done for 10,00) dol-

lars a year in the great State of NewYork--- a State more populous than om' entire Do- minion. Think of what might be done, even with one fiftieth part of _that sum annually expended on travelling libraries in Prince Edward Island l We have here

a small, compact, thickly settled commun- ity, cvery district in which is easily acces- sibie to an enterprise 'of this sort. We hope to see the day when Charlottetown will have a creditable public library. All honor to Summersidc for having led the way! But we hope also to see the time in the not distant future when abundance of

the best books will be made available by the travelling library plan to every school district in Prince Edward Island. We know how *scant are the funds that the provincial authoities have `at their dis- posal and how many are the demands, but for so great an object it would be permis- sible even to shorten the liberal provincial grunt for schools and throw a little more

of the burden upon the school district. The total educative results upon the com- munity with schools and libraries wm- bined would be far greater than underthe

present plan of schools without books.

boats which have been largely 'em- ployed, like»the Monterey, in the con- veyance of animals. Five hundred stalls _ for horses are to be fixed at Halifax, where also all other arrangements for accommodation are to be carried out, including an elaborate extension of the saloon for odléers. < -
