Seymour Lacy, ‘was introduced as the principal speak- er of the evening and gave a very in- terest. nf talk. All of you men and boys here to- | night, ‘he -sald, are members of the most magnificent organization ever in- stituted in many ways. For those who are willing to take advantage of the opportunities for development which it offers it gi three times the value of the money investgd. The Y. M. ‘A. has been a great power in promot- ing the cause of Jesus Christ and has had a marked impression on the busi- ness world. Mr. Lacy spoke of muca which has been accomplished by the +| organization and said the value of the He | Y. M. C. A. is realized by the big con- cerns, by the raliroads, for instance, to such an extent that in many cases in the regular annual appropriations is a mn:zbémon for the support of the e il 'S Enthusiasm is a big thing in fight- ing this battle for new members. We must present the facts, point out the good work which is being accomplish- ed. In other words, e must adver- tise, we must shoy the people that they ‘are really redelving three times the value of their money. The Y. M. C, A. takes a hand in building up the three parts of the man. The gymna- sium is devoted to the huilding up of the physical bod§.

General Secretary Starkey, President Case and the other officers have, like generals, clrel’ull{ planned the line of action. Only one thing more re- mains necessary for the success of this campaign. That is that each one of the team members do his part. Mr. Lacy was loudly cheered and applaud- ed at the close. The meeting was then adjourned.

The Need of More Room. Mr. Trumbull reports: Fewer books have been purchased this year, partly on account of the continued high prices but as usual the books we have been able to buy have been those which to the best of our belief add to the use- fulness of the library and contribute to the wants of our patronms, The reading room on Sundays con- tinues to attract many readers. One crying need is more room. Notwith- standing the many books worn out and discarded, our shelves are still un- comfortably crowded and must soon be weeded out to make room for new ones. Helpful Co-operation. The literary clubs, debating clubs, ang similar organizations, make gen- eral use of the library with seemingly increased interest each year, and it rarely happens that some book cannot be found to give them the information they require. The Free Academy, the normal school and the common schools use the before. One table is given up entirely to reference books for scholars, and every afternoon finds a dozen or more pupils in the reading room studying tdhe subjects for recitation the next ay. We extend a cordial hand to the superintendent of the schools and trust that under the new regime the schools and library will be. even more closely united in the future, Officers and Staff. The trustees of the Otis libratry are William A. Alken, president; John C. Averill, treasurer; Adams P. Carroll, Frank L. Woodard, Henry A. Tirrell, Oliver [. Johnson, Arehibald Mitchell.
