PUBLIO talatAatIES.
1. UnOr the Act passed at the
last 'Session of the Legislative
Assembly every FreeLibrary and
every Library known as a, "Mechanics'
institute 1' will be known by the.
name of " Pablie Library. " It is
expected from this change of name
that the public generally will
,consicler a public Library under its
slew designation as something in
'Mitch they have a right of use that
,elid not pertain to a Mechanics'
InStitate,
2. The Act consists of three parts;
Part I. refers to Public Libraries
that have been or may be establish-
ed ander a by -Jaw of the munici-
pality by which provision has been
made for suitable buildings, and for
,aninual rate of taxation for the
maintenance of the Library, In .
this part of the Act there has been
no ehange.
1. Part II of the Aet provides for
the transfer of the Public Library
(foemerly Mechanics' Institute) to a
Manicipal Council with a board of
atanagernent, composed as in the -
ease of'a Public Library (Section 3, •
Part 1). This transfer is optional
with the Board of Management of
the Public Library (formerly)
hanks' Institute) and the Municipal
Connell concerned. If both parties
are .agreed, the change can be effect.
ed, the Library would then be •
open to the public free of charge..
It is +expected that many Public Li-
braries (formerly Mechanics' Insti-
tutes) will make tbe transfer, in the
hope that by placing the Library
under the • control of a Board
appointed by the Muni-
eipal Council, the Municipal
Council will give substantial aid for
its support. So long as a Library is
open to members only., and these
very often few in number, a Munici-
pal Council can hardly be expected
to give aid to the extent it would, if
the Library were open to the whole
at the +people of a Municipality.
4, Section 12 provides for Municia
pal .aael. to Public Libraries which
slave been established by the transfer!
of Mechanics' Institutes. It is not!
necessary to levy a special rate, but
it is lawful to pay an amount equal!
to tbe Government Grant, or any:
ems which the Municipal Councils
raay deem expedient, as part of the!
.geaeraa:expences of the municipality
for the support of the Library.
.5. Section 14 provides for the
amalgamation of Teachers' Institute
Libraries with Public Libraries,
which will no doabt greatly increase;
the educational advantages to be de-
rived by the public from Public;
Libraries.
6, Section 15 allows Farmers*!
Institutes to affiliate withPublic Li-
braries tam providing means for
obtaining an increased knowledge of
all the Sciences relating to Agricul-
ture.
7. Part 111 of the Act deals with
Pablie Libraries that prefer to main-
tain their own organization and to
limit the use of the' Library to
membership. The officers formerly
known as a Board of Management—
uniformity of nomenclature being
desirable. The President of the
Board is to be sleeted as is usual on
all 13oaxds of Management; the other
officers, viz., Secretary, Treasurer.
and Librarian, may be appointed by
the Board. These last mentioned
officers need not be menibers of the
Board of management. Full power
is given to the Board to make all
necessary regulations for the ma.n;
agetnent of the Libeary, Reading
Room and Evening Classes (Section
18.)
8. Greater liberty is allowed in
regard to membership. By Section
17 (8) young persons twelve years of
age may enroll theinselves as
members of the Library; but no
Public Library having mem-
bers shall be entitled to a share
of the Legislative grant which does
not possess a membership of one
. hundred persons of whom fifty shall
be over twenty-one years of age.
In the election of a Board of Manage.
mem the word "member" shall mean
only such persons as are twerity-one
years of age.' It is expected that by
allowing young persons twelve years
of age to become members of the Li-
beary, that a greater interest will be
developed in the 'use of the Library,
while the limitation of the voting
power to thosaover twenty -One years.
of age will .seenre the efficient mana
agement of the Taiwan. Boards are
allowed to fix. the fees for mambo -
ship, or to dispense with fees
altogether as they may deem expo -
dint.
0. A. change has been made in the
TIIE WINUTIAMA :
M.
'basis on which the Government LISTOWEL.
Grant is hereafter to be paid. See -
tion 10 (1) provides tbat the sum of
one dollar will be allowed for every
•dollar expended on the purchase of
books, but so as not to exceed $200
in the case of macs, $150 in the ease
of towns, and in all other cases $100
—not more than twenty per cent,
thereof shall be expended for works
of fiction. (2) A further stun of one
dollar will be allowed for every
dollar expended on newspapers and
magazines for the purpose of a Bead-
ing Room, but so as not to exceed
$50 for each Reading Room. There
Is no ehauge in tho Ant in regard to
Reading Rooms. (3) Tbe sum of $3
will be allowed for every pupil where
evening classes have been established
under the Act for classes of twenty-
five pupils and under, with an
additional allowance of $1 per pupil
over the number of twenty-five, but
80 as not to exceed $100 for evening
classes.
10. Evening classes are hereafter
to be limited to teelmical subjects as
set forth in the Regulations. As the
Education Department now gives an
annual grant for evening classes in
the subjects of the Public School
Course, it was not deemed necessary
to duplicate this work. •
11. The new Regulations require
the Board of every Public Library
receiving Government aid to place'
over the, door of the Library, or ia
some other conspicuous place, a sign
with the words "Public Library" in
letters sufficiently large to be readily
seen by the public.
12. .At the next annual meeting
to be held on the first Monday in +
May, (1) Members should elect a
President (who must be a member
of the Board) and. appoint officers, (3).
The Board should instruct the
Librarian to keep a record of the
names, ages and employments of the
members in a book to be sapplied
gratis by the Education Department.
Books specially imported for the
bona fide use of incorporated Me-
chanics' • Institutes are free of duty
(see Canada Customs Tariff {clause
5181 1804).

I would ask that anyone wanting to get the very lowest prices, and the

ISome people think that in order to get value for their money in Furniture
they must send to Toronto. This is a great mistake, in my opinion, for a
great deal of the Furniture that is advertised in Toronto is manufactured
right here in Wingliam, and I think you can buy just as cheap at home and
have the goods delivered and. set up in your homes free of extra cost, You
must remember that Furniture has changed a great deal in price during the
last year or two, and for proof, note the following reductions, You can
