ladies, of boys and girls, in the city of Cleveland who have no realiza-
tion of the immense stores of happiness and knowledge which are on the
shelves of the Library Association. . Not knowing the advantages to be
derived from the Library, they give themselves up to the pleasure, and . .
vanities with which a city is always filled. No better advantages can
be offered than are found in the Clcveland Library." - (8)
