Miss Gladys Sutterby was in charge and led in the devotional period. Dr. Noyes was the guest speaker and his address was on “Some outstanding Chinese young people I have known.” Dr. Noyes was taken to China by his parents when he was 15 months old and spent the greater part of his life in China and can speak the language very fluently. A solo was rendered by Mr. Thomas. A social half hour followed the meeting. There was a very splendid representation of young ‘people but not many older ones‘ac- ‘cepted the invitation to this;m-eeting. The attendance since the New Year has been very gratifying indeed.

Yet unfamiliarity with any but a few libraries makes me quite incapable of appreciating them to the extent that I otherwise might. At this time I merely wish to point out some of the practical facilities of library service at our disposal. l To the lover of books no library can hold the same position as that which is gathered as the personal possession of the members. of the home. Like the family table or one’s clothes some mystic attachment exists between people and books which they treasure. There may be only a few worn volumes and in some families the Holy Bible alone has presented a library. Seen as a col- lection of varied books presenting the history and ideology of a. great people to reach its highest expression in Nazareth; therein may be found a library indeed. A splendid meeting of the St. John’s W.A. was held at the home of Mrs. John Chatterly, Aurora, on Wednesday last. Aflout thirty-five were present.

Simple expositions on history, geography and elementary science may arouse interest at an early age. Nature should be adequately repre- sented.

In some cases this may be fairly extensive and quite suitably stocked. In others it is non- existant or composed of a dozen musty volumes of no particular worth. Ten dollars each year would never be missed by any schoolâ€"section and in competent hands it could be made to contribute much to the building and maintenance of such a service. A good school library is a credit to any community. Let no one feel that time spent in Wholesome individual reading is wasted even if it be at the cost of less emphasis on the three “I like the public library With its cloistered hushed repose, I like to browse among the books In varicolored rows; To mingle with those loyal friends And have them speak to me In captivating English prose 01- whispered melody."

The play “Mamie’s Li’l Wild Rose” was presented in Edgeley Hall on Monday, Feb. 11th, by Vellore Junior Farmers, under the auspices of Edge- ley Women’s Institute. The play was a huge success and enjoyed by every- one present. The soIos rendered be- tween,acts by Miss Janey Nattress of Elders Mills with Mrs. Alf. Bagg‘ ac- companist were equally enjoyed. The February meeting of the Edgelvey Women’s Institute was held at the home of Mrs. E. Stung on Thursday, Feb. 7th. Pickering College has for some time placed its library at the disposal of the public. Anyone is welcome to visit the College library to browse and borrow at his leisure. A select list includes many that may not be found in smaller libraries. Especially is this so in the sections devoted to Political Science, World Peace and Education. A postal service is carried on at cost. Most of the suggestions here have dealt with the requirements of the average reader. For the inquis’tive juvenile scholar I suggest “The Story of Mankind” by Hendrick Van Loon. For the more mature student Will Durante’s “Story of Philosophy” and H. G. Wells’ trilogy “The Outline of History,” “The Science of Life” and “The Work, Wealth and Happiness of Mankind.” I have found a critical study of all four most enlightening.
