We shall be lazy every mo- ment that we can before a tang in the air stirs up ambition. Last Saturday and Sunday were the perfect expression of the clasing days of summer. The sun was beautifully hot, yet the breeze blew pleasantly cool off the great blue waters of Lake Ontario. Save for the butterfiies drifting and the crickets singing one could have thought oneseif back at the, be- ginning af summer. Yet there wvas in the air that suggestion of blue haze which speaks of autumn here. We always think when we walk or drive along this tre- mendous lake, that most people who live beside it do flot haif appreciate its beauties or its usefulness. Mrs. Anna Jamne- son whose 'Winter Studies and Summer Rambles"' published in 1838 is well known, tells in that interesting book about 'Up- per Canada, how her dislike of Toronto was changed when nav- igation apened an the lake. She would sit by the hour on the pier and watch the sloops and schooners and the changing Col- ours of the water as light and shadow swept across it. We know quite well that the damp- ness from the lake makes us shiver in winter, but that does, not prevent us enjoying its1 beauty ini summer and Fail. THE LAST GOLDEN HOURS "Now hath the summer reach- her golden close," wrote the Canadian poet Archibald Lamp- mnan in the llaem titled "Sep- tember." This is the perîod of transition from summer into Fail and sa the warmth of the days is more ta be treasured, the stillness of the air more ta be savaured and haarded than when summer stretched befare This is the turning paint, when schools open and societies gird themselves for a teri- rponth periad of ceaseless activ- ity - why we shall neyer un- derstand. One of these days we ghall list ail the societies, clubs and arganzatians in town and let you wander alang with as ,whether Canadians are flot pro:- eeeding alang the p ath of insan- ity in this respect, for Bow- manvifle is typical we fear rather than abnormal.

Guille quotes in bis "Early Life ii Upper Canada." Writing in 183, she said, "An attempt bas bei made te found -a mechanics institute and a llterary club but as yet they. create littli interest, and are very iii sup. pcrted." Though Upper Canada hai few bocks at that period, it dit have around 40 newspapers oi periodicals which had' wide . cir- culatian. "There is a commner. chal news-roem in the city ol Toronto," Mrs. Jameson wrate, "and this is absolutely the only place of *assembly or amuse. ment, except the taverns and low drinking houses." The centennial booklet cf the town cf Milton in giving the history of their Mechanies' Ini. stitute and library, tells thal the founder of these institutes in England in 1776 was George Birbeck, a physician and phil- anthropist. The movement be- came very popular there, spur- red by the changes brought about by the Industriel Revo- lution, and was brought ta Canada by those emigrating here., Milton's Institute was farm- ed in 1855 and in its first year had 52 members. To-day Mil- ton's free library bas over 1000 tnembers and around 11,000 books. Bawmanville please take note - Miltan's popula- tion is only 4,525 and it became a fre iibrary in 1922. Surely Bowmanvilie Library can look for a great soaring of member- ship naw that it is at lest to have the advantages of the free libra ry system -and largh quarters. thifi LA.
