VISITORS PRAISE the older people a spirit` of` youth and` to theyoung a sense of re- spons-ibility. The library is thor- oughly democratic. It buys books the public could not allord, is a. guide to good books and gives everyone a cha.nce to read them. Truly it is a work worthwhile, a work worthy of every support from all thinking citizens. ` Inspector Carson After extending to the audi_' ence the congratulaions of the Hon. Dr. Pyne upon the attain- ment of this beautiful new Ii- hrary, Mr. Carson added his own congratulations. He was de- lighted with the library, it being the finest building of its kind he had seen in any town in Ontario. Barrie has good reason to be proud of it and_he hoped the cit- izens would appreciate it as one of` the town s educational instit- utions.

It began-as a debating club, for- med in 1854, and afterwards a library was procured. The iirst oll'iccrs were:--- Pres., D'Arcy Boulton; v.ice-pres., Wm. Boys; sec.-trcas., John Hogg. These have all passed away. Mr. Boys, afterwards Judge Boys, was for many years a `useful member of the Board of Directors. D Alton Mctjai-thy was a member of the debating club. Among the sub. '.jects debated were the Union of, the Provinces and Imperial I*`el-| `en-ation. The society was incor-j -porated as the Barrie Mechanics i Institute in 1862 and ten years' ilater a public reading room was: :opened in connection with it. The Ehuilding on Owen St. now occup- ,ied by the Collegiate liistitute classes, was built by voluntary subscriptions in 1891. In this undertaking the late J. M. Hun- ter, then president, and the chief mover, was actively assisted by ll. J. .T<`le_tcher and F. Marr. Mr. Fletehei- s peculiar qualifications and work as librarian were re- ferred to, ' as also the valuable assistance rendered `by A; F. Hunter in connection with the li- brary, - 'I`I._ _'A_`,_ A,,l__] lL1_ A 1`,_.- The citizexxs voted this a free lihrmgv inTI9I/1.
