The Clinton Nerd Era PHONE 1 to provide a sum to carry out the terms of the contract, The library rate was originally fixed at a fraction of a mill on the dollar of taxable assessment. The variations in per capita assessment throughout the Province is very great, and as Libraries serve people and. not -property, the cost of service, if based logically and on the best principle, should be according to population. The per capita .library income that obtained recently under the old Act varied from twelve cents to sixty cents per capita. A study of the table showing the population and the results of the old Act should convince one of the superiority of the per capita idea. The rate -clause in the new Act is the adoption of a new principle. It should meet the library pro- blem, and is in. every sense fair to the libraries and their supporters. The new Act. gives all communities regardless of size equal opportun- ities. Very snnall.comnnunities might require a higher rate than would be. required in larger places. At present,, however, the smaller com- munities are a long way from enjoying privileges such as those grant- ed in the new Act and it is likely to be several years before they would.be ready to make use of the higher rate. All libraries will not • use the rate -clause to its full extent for some time at. least, but the privilege is given to all for securing good library service. After a careful study of the whole situation the Department of Education was convinced that fifty cents per capita furnished a reason- ably good income for a public library for ordinary expenditure. There will probably be some instances where library patronage will reach an extraordinarily high standard. In such cases a higher rate than fifty cents might be required. Very large patronage should serve as an indication that public opinion is strongly behind a library, and no council would be likely to refuse an increased rate when public opin- ion is strongly in favour of the library. No important changes have been made in Part II of the Act •svbich relates to what are known as "association libraries," the suc- cessors of the old mechanics' institutes, except that more generous treatiaaen:t may be garnted to these institutions out of the legislative appropriation for public libraries. The Public Libraries Act from the beginning' has given the Government wide powers for encouraging library progress. No government in the world has been more gener- ous with its public libraries. Cash grants have been given from the beginning'and at one time as much as $400 was given to a single library, although for a number of years the maximum grant has been $260. In future grants will be defined by regulation, as it is felt that there are considerations entering into the making of these grants which can best be dealt with in that way. - The Act provides the Minister with money and other means of assisting libraries, including professional advice, the conducting of schools for librarians and the making of special arrangements for en- couraging libraries for the conducting of library institutes, for publish- rng useful information on matters pertaining to libraries, for the es- tablishment of a board of home study for widening the scope of travellitn libraries, including assistance that may be. given to schools and other educational institutions, and giving to lilirarias, regardless of the size of the community, facilities for giving full and adequate service. Ontario has at present the largest number of libraries of any coent>:y, province sr state in the world. It is of interest to note tinat some six million books were borrowed from the public libraries of tine Province during the last twelve months. The Act has created a remarkable amount of interest ottlside the Province of Ontario and has been highly commended by the Amer- , loan Library A%ociation and also the Library Association of Great Britain.

Wood & Tyner rt• BISHOP'S PASTORAL LEITER WAS READ See In Helpless Human Child The Lord of all Creation Only they enter into the full meaning of .the Christmas festival who see in the helpless hurnan child the Lord of All creation, Is the ]message In the annual Christ- mas pastoral, issued by Rev, David Williams, Bishop of Huron, to Oleanglliean brethren. The . pastoral, as read in the local Anglican church Sunday, follows: "Dear Brethren—Once again we are approaching the Joyous festival, of Christmas, "The Church recognizes the im- portance of the festival by having a special season, pracfiea ly a whole uednth to prepare for id --the season of Advent, of whleil Christ- mas Day is the climax; by staving a speciaq day apart from the Sundays, reserved for Its calebratton; and by' ]saving special servicers alpproprlate to it distinct from the Sunday ser- vices. "The festival Is unsurpassedy any other in both Its religious and human interest. "Religiously, the central fact of Christmas is, of course,, the incar- nation of God the Son—the birth of the Eternal Son of God of a human mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary. This is indeed ,1 the central fact of all human history. The glory of it stands alone, illuminating the past history; present condition and future destiny of our race. No cele- bration of Chistnias is true unless that central fact is recognized as the background and warrant of all our Icelebattons, which, without that backgound, are too apt to de- generate into mere feasting and riotousness, "The festival also has a human interest all it own unsliared by any other. For the central fact occured in a way that cannot fall to appeal td bur human instincts—through the " birth of a child, of a human mother, into a human family, where He was nourished and brought up as an ordinary , human child, where He "increased to wis- dom and stature and in favor with God and ratan." And so long as people live together in fautilies and children are born and brought tip, the festival will not cease to have an interest for old and young in addition to its religious. significance. 'But only they enter into the full meaning of the festival who see in the helpless human child, born in Bethlehem as on this day the Lord of all Creation,'. "by whom all things were made, Who for us men and for our Salvation carte down from Heaven and was made man." "Therefore on the special day re- served for the celebration of so great an event, let us all appear in God's House to praise Him and magnify Him for His Goodness. "God so loved the world that He pave Plis only begotten Son, that whosoever believet'h In Him shoud not perish, but have everlasting Life." —John 3-46, -1'ff "Unto you is born this day in the 'City of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord."—Luke "0 Come Let us adore Him."— Hyaan 72. Believe me, your faithfully, (Signed) DAVID HURON "P. S.—As usual in the diocese the offertory on Christmas Day will be given to the clergy."—D. H. Kidneys Troubled Her. BACK ACHE SO BAD COULD NOT SLEEP. The epidemic of "Flu"•has a great deal to bo responsible fer. In nearly every ease it has left some bad after effects, and in a great many oases it is the kidneys that have suffered. When the kidneys have been left in a weakened state, very often some serious kidney trouble will follow if not attended to. Doan's Kidney Pills will prove to be lust the remedy you require to strength- en them. Miss Florence Earnshaw Apsley, Ont., writes:—"Last .winter, after I had the "Flu" I was troubled with my kidneys. My back ached so I could not sleep and my ankles were so swelled I could not walk. A neighbor' told me about Doan's Kidney Pills. I got two boxes, and before I had the first ono taken I felt a change. I cannot recommend your medicine enough." Be sure and get Doan's Kidney Pills when you ask for them. An oblong gray' box; a maple leaf the trade mark; price 50c, a box at all dealers, or mailed direct on receipt of price by The T.
