To-night we are being. graunated from the highest in ing in Cape May. Where shall we find a place in this city, which will help us to further increase car in tellectual powers? ome of gs will probably seek ingtruction in a higher school or college of well-known repute, others will take up some commercial line following out the course of training given in our schools, but where shall those of us who stay in Cape May and who have as great a desire to keep on with the intellectuel struc ture upon which we have but just begun to build, find material for our mental advancement? Natura‘ly, association . with | wellbred people tends to broaden one‘ outlook upon life in general, but good books are practically the only soure a well ordered and useful life as true citizen. Unquestionably, Cape May afford the best possible advantages for ou physical pleasure. Look, for instance, gt this beautiful, spacious hall, which by the combined efforts of our people has grown from a dream to a reality. As we look back, I am sure we car all recall many pleasurable as well Other leisure hours may be spent in sailing on the deep waters of Cape ing along the country roads, lined ¢ «ither side with well kept farms and orchards. — But there is one important thing Cape May lacks and that is a plac for mental recreation, . What could be more helpful than a Ubrary whic but to every person within the bounds of our beautiful city" Every progressive town has one in: stitution of this kind. sign that the citizen gent, thinking and cultured people Cape May too shouid have a libra and further than that I feel justifiec in raving Cape May will have one But it will require the co-operation a every person, old and young alike. We need a library here in orde that our citizens may grow intellect mall. We need a place where t reading public, as well as the schoo children, can find all the standar books of reference, art, science anc the best literature, ancient, mediev and modern. Many times during th course of our school work a sub; comes up which must be studied fro a buck of reference. But where are such books to be found? They mot within reach of every one. haps many have such books in thei homes but why not place them in 1 Mbrary where everyone may have ac cess to them? Then, too, reading. should play wery important part in our lives an For never before hs education been such an essential frc tor in the world as during the las fifty years and as it will be in t «oming years. A library would tend to increase the mpirit of neighborliness and socia bility among the people. Our city i known to be very reserved and strang ers often have difficulty In meeting ur best people. Would not a librar radinte the spirit of friendliness an furnish a place where strangers migh make desirable acquaintances? would, mlso be a fit-place for youn people to gather and discurs the cu rent events and books of the thereby deriving much benefit, con bining pleasurable hours with th gaining of knowledge which will mak them better and more Intelligent cit

The money involved belongs to the | people of Cape May and to nobody else, because it was earned by the use of the city‘s property and certainly there is no better way of disposing of it. If we all put our shoulder to the wheel, this thing can surely be accomplished, for, Real towns are not made by men afraid, laid some one else: gets ahead.

And if while you make your personal * stake, your neighbor can make one too, Your town will be what you want to baad It isn‘t your town-it‘s you. ~s94amCOMMUNICATION.
