CORRESPONDENCE
THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.
TO THB EDITOR. Sir, —To use the barricade of a nom do plume to attack a person who is debarred from publicly justifying ■ his opinions is not in accordance with the principles of British sportsmanship and justice. If your correspondents, “A Mere Borrower,” “ Mere Borrower No. 2,” and “Another Borrower,’' have any workable schemes for a better routine at the library they should approach Mr Dunninghnm. They will be most courteously received, and if the ideas are really an improvement ou (ho existing one 1 feel sure they would be put into use with the least delay possible. To mo the library is a great privilege, one 1 greatly appreciate and make full use of it over a very wide range (which includes fiction), ami your correspondents should think ot the great benefits the library confers for the very small amount paid by way of tbo rates for its upkeep. The old saying about “ cutting the coat according to the cloth ” applies to the library. When more finance is avail able the librarian will no doubt use it wisely and well lor the benefit of the greatest possible number of borrowers.— I am, etc., September 25. Harold Kiddle.
