The subject of a Heading itoom, nnd tlio at tendant necessity of books, mngnzincs nnd news papers has recently been discussed m tlieso columns, hut tho movement will ptobnbly fall for want of public support, In discussing tlio subject of rending supplies, Dr. Holland in December's "Scribuer" pertinently sniss "Tho great want experienced by cultured men nnd women in a smalltown is of books, periodicals, etc, which, Iniliiidunlly, tbey are not nhlo to buy. Thero aro very few circulat ing libraries in American towns of n popula tion less than ten thousand. This want can ho obviated in a measure by n fiiendly combiun. lion between cerlniu families or indmdunls, in which each contributes a given number of books ton common slock; these books nre loaned to the members' in turn. A more form nVand much better way Is tho formation of a book - club, such aswero common in Kngland before tho establishment of Mudie, nt whicl each member tmys in the beginning a certain sum, with which as many hooks are purchased as there aro members, each one choosing a book ! these pass iu regular rotation from band to band, remaining a fortnight with each ri-ud-er twenty books may thus be read for the cost of one. When the books bao passed around the circle they ate sold lo members for the benefit of Iho club. Fines for detention and nbuso of books also keep up the funds. No of- beer is required in this association but a treas urer. Another advantago in tho plan is that books can bo bought by the quantity at lower rates than singly. -The same rule applies to subscriptions for magazines, newspapers, etc. Tho Young Men's Christian Association will hold its first annual anniversary in thu M.
