motif of red and green. In the
reception room, and tho dining

smilax was used, which hung in
thick clusters over the doorways

also shaded in red which cast a
soft glow over the entire scene.
In the dining room, the decora

T11E HKilt SCHOOL library to
OPENED TO THE PCRI.IO.
We are very glad indeed to nn*
iiounce that the faculty of the
High School, after considering
the matter, have decided to give
the citizens of our town access to
their library for the small fee of
$1.00 for the nine months tprm .
Or, by paying $2.00, the library
can he kept open through the
summer months when school is
not in session and the salary of a
librarian can he paid. We should
appreciate this very excellent and
liberal offer, and, all who possi
bly can, should take advantage
of it. It means a great deal to
the school and also to our people,
who do not have the advantages
of the very best libraries.
Good reading awakens within
us high ideals and lofty senti
ments, and unconciously has a
great deal to do with shaping and
moulding our characters.
It is the purpose of those who
have this matter in charge to
keep adding new hooks from time
to time with this library fund,
hooks that will he of general in
terest.
Here already we find some of
the very best hooks. Dickens’

wer’s works, George Elliot, Hall
Cain, and Frances Crawford, His

School library, hut as I stated be
fore, the latest popular hooks will
be added with this library fund.
