It is, of course. quite right that the dubious novel should be cxcmded from our public libraries. but there are pienty of tales that are at once amusing and instructive.

There are several other curses which the average man «would incline to consider more fearful than the libraries. but this is a free coun- try» and Mr. Hobbs is not to be cen- sured for his statement that the good books stand idly on the shelves. while the novels are devoured. _It is not cer- tain, though. that novels "corrupt and paralyze the mental faculties.” They may not domuch in the way of stimulating those faculties. for mo-t folk read to be amused.
