which has only about one half more popu-

erecting zu library buildingto cost 150,000
dollars. -
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
suitable to their wants,1by m¢l'¢lY  -_ -., mm-|u,_1’ 759,  indicated’

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.

Halifax, where also all other arrangements
