But we shall suffer sadly without co-operation in some form, and the thing to do now is to secure it, and secure it, if we can in a better form than that which has just proved itself at fault...

Such a building will also be very convenient for the storage of the present library of the school. Fifteen or twenty thousand dollars is considered a sufficient sum for a small library building, which could be erected in the vicinity of the school. This would be very convenient for the members of the school and would be thoroughly appreciated by those interested. Such a plan would not be dissimilar to that in operation...
