Again, why have any pictures that don't 'amount to much'? Your wall-paper, which is not intolerably ugly, is better than a bad print." This is what I thought.

...well as during the day. That this has been accomplished successfully in the Boston Public Library is well known, and should satisfy the Library Council that the experiment might be made here with similar beneficial results. Heretofore, the principal objection to so doing has been based on the great danger there would be of fire; but we see no reason why this danger should apply to our Library more than to that in Boston.
