Soci ai Librarie:4
Allow me, Fellow citizens, to offer for your con
sideration; a few ideas on the utility of social lib%
reties Land here May I be permitted to say, that'll
my opinion, based upon eiperience,there is nothimi
more conducive to moral and intelletual improve
moot, ourreligions institutions excepted; than they
are, whenever and wherever established. Ours is
called a reading community, and as far as news
papers and flishionable periodicals and journals are
conceded it is unquestionably so. lids of impor
tance that we have our newspapers, by Winell We
obtsCn the current intelligence of the day; and the
light reading and novelty of fahcy Magazine! and
pamphlets ton certain extent. is of unquestionable
utility. But surely it must be acknowledged:gen
erally, that this Is not enough—that something
More Fetid and endurinf,eught to be induced . lrl
form correct morals and habits, and to fit the mind
forusefulnes4. To balance this defect, 'mini mixing
us have, at consid.;rable expense, made an approx. :
heath] towards a library and realized . the benefit
thereof to ouraelreq and families, while we behold
our means too liinited to 'coruplete the enterprise;
an eliferprke which no:4g but social libraries
eninple!e: Eeery township 'ought becattise its mor
al and intellectual intore4s, demends it; have its
wail a:sorted and hell regulated library.. And-it
should be regarded, nourished, eherishedjiistet'ed,
p rpet,la teal and enlarged, with all' that,*ztah anti
care that a kind and proVident father would en
caurnge schools and the ; education of his family,'
since educatiiin, on a more extensive stele may be
derived-from the. same.
Allow me tollmw a picture for your contempla :.
tion. Suppose one hundred persons should each
pay the moderate sum tif three dollars makingliai
round sum' of 5300; with this suns from 150. to
200 volumes might be obtained. Let each pro
prietor make - a draft for the specified •tim; and
when the volume is introduced into his family, let
'him make it a - rule inviolable, to spend one hour at
/east out of every t wentsdhur, in reading that vol.
nme. Yes, let The labors;of the day, without doors
and within, be so arranged, that the family circle
may be formed at !m t. oue hour before retirement
to rest, and let the volume be read by * some.one of
the family, or by several in turns; while thecotheri
hear. And I would propose that the hearers should
at the samerime r net as cmttii isaeuraor prompter,
to-correct the readers for nay defect or fault, that
may be committed, either irrOcentuation, pronun:
cation, emphasis, cadence orienunciatten ; togeth
er with the freedom of remark and commentary on
the subject, at the close of the exercise.
If any one perchance to doubt the utilityel:lye
'; hitt-AM:6m of:. the above, or 'itricadiar
hint, try it for a fcw weeks, acid experience will re-*
i naive every doubt. lle will Seen find that a taste
fur reading will generally be sOperinduced ; that the
'exereiki, so far from becoming a task and irksome,
will beamusing, itnimatiog and entertaining as well
as in , tructive;:mtl the beauties andsweet .enjoy
meats of the ticimestin fire=side and bright family
circle, will withhold the feet of incautious youth
fru% the bewildering and -ruinous paths of vice,
rhvelrynnd dissipation. . •
Having myself seen the utility of social libraries
and having heard some .desire expressed by Spina
of our citizens, 'that they might be establi.:Od
among us, hare induced Inc to offer these ternarks,
at the same thee cherishing a hope that thsey may
subierVe some benefit to our community. Will you
ruminate upon the subject, and give it lull. investi
