Some of the best things in life are so . inexpensive that we fail to appreciate them at their true value. This failure almost leads one to believe that Our Public in order to get people to appreciate t h e g o o d Libraries things of life it \\'Otdd be well to attach a 'high n1oney price to them . Our free schools and free libraries would perhaps be more highly prized were they not free. There must he many places in the \\·orld where one cannot get books for love or money. In many out-of-the-way districts a good hook is worth more than its weight in gold. l\fany a man marooned miles away from a public library \\·ould think himself fortunate indeed if he had the privileges that an vone in our north shore towns thinks li.ghtly of. ~ttmmer library pri\'ileges are bountiful. One ma v borrow and retain for the entire vacatiot; period ten or a dozen hooks. thus securing- fo.r himself a fair -s ized Yacation library. Entirelv free of cost to himself a rea;ler may eas!ly complete in his four to eig-ht \\'eeks of recreation the careful perusal of the masterpieces of any period.

I ·don't want you to be deprived of t~e pleasure of se paratin g yourself from about stx m o nths' hard earned cocoanuts. Of course, I had the whole Plug family along, " ·hich didn 't help any in keeping down expenses. The Miss us and the t\\·o high school Plugs seem to haYe the idea that dough flows out of tl~e Old Plug's pocket a s freely as the water over Ntagara Falls.
