Last year 96 institutes had Beading rooms, supplying 1,114 peri- odicals and 1,155 papers. In 89 institutes, evening classes were eon - ducted and 967 students were in at- tendance, taking courses in English, < oinmercial subjects, drawing and mechanics. But two institutes were dosed last year, whilst seven were opened since May last. There were donated to all $597 worth of books during the year. To the free libraries were given $1,017 worth of books, Those institutes and libraries have assets of $276,000 • and liabilities of $0,050. The cities or towns sup- porting free libraries were : Berlin, Brantford, Guelph, St Thomas, Tor- onto and Waterloo.
