The word community is sometimes defined as a body of people having common rights, privileges, or • inter - eons, or living in the same place un- der the same laws and regulations. The model community Is a cohesive, active. Interested and public Spirited one. The character, of the community is a compoofite of the characters of the individuals who make it up. The ex- perience of ages is enunciated in the divine word and truth \By their fruit shall ye know them.\ By the 'Works that we are now accoMplishing we are not only exhibiting to the 'world the character of our community, but we are bequeathing to, posterity the fruits of our high minded . action. *One of- the things upon which we are at liberty to flatter ourselvet is that this has alwaYst been a progressive,. Intelligent, all& falv''abidIng . Communi- ty. Our'icools would' be a•matter of pride to any community . of - equal size In the world. The Splendid business blOckis all around us speak voldines for our twenty-four years of existence. The lofty spires Piercing the HeaveAs on every side bespeak the earnest Christian character of our 'People, The splendid conditions apparent in our civic life are largely due to the class . of citizens who first settled here, An earnest, - moral, progressive, cul- tured and ,practical people, in all things involving the public weal they builded - more wisely than they knew, and have bequeathed to those who will 'come after,.a standard of public action which they will do well to emulate: Few of those who were the early corners to Lewistown were blessed with plethora of worldly treasures. We were, all young people depending` upon the vigor of youth to develop the splendid but virgin resources of this new country. Every public enterprise had to be fostered by isubscrintion, and the drain was often felt by the Struggling sub- scriber, but the community was al- ways liberal as well as progressive. , -Among 'the' most laudable of our public undertakings-. was' the estab- lishing of a library. A word concerning its history can- not be out of place at this time and I will give it briefly. The first impetus given the project was upon the occasion of your speak- er giving a lecture in the Presbyterte an church, on the evening of the 12th day. of January, 1897, on the 'subject, \Self Made men.\ The Fergus County Argus of Janu- ary 14th, 1897, in commenting upon the lecture',. Concluded at follows: \The speaker deviated from his subject, so - far as to plead for the establishment of a public library, and showed how easy it would - be to establigth such If even thirty Of our citizens wohld take ,the matter in hand.' This is a 'wise suggestion and it is hoped wi:1 be acted upon in the near future.\ After several preliminary meetings held for that purpose the organiza- tion of the Lewistown Public Library Association was perfected February 12th, 1897. A constitution was adopt- ed and seven trustees elected as fol- lows. F. E. Smith, E. K. Cheadle, Rev. Albert Pfaus, Rev. Joel . Vigus, Mrs. F. E. Wright, Mrs. G. J. Wiede- man and Mrs. F. C. Stiles. The trustees elected as officers for the first year, F. E. Smith, president; Mrs. F. E. Wright, vice president; E. K. Cheadle, secretary; Halsey R. Watson, treasurer and Mrs. M. L. Hanson, librarian. A contribution_of 83.00 in cash, or of six good substantially bound books entitled to membership. The use of the books was free to the members. and to others vouched for by two members of the association. chibstan- daily the same organization W11.4 con- tinued until April 24th, 1901, wnen library vas turned over 'to the corpo- ration 6? the City of Lewistown and thereafter became a city institution. The first trudges ,apnointe.1 undo, the city government, April .24th. 1901, were as follows: W. M. fillackfori, Mrs. R. von Tebel, Mrs. A. W Warr, Mrs. - 0. J. Bach. Mrs. G. Wideman, and -F. E. Smith. F. E. Smith was elected chairman and „Mrs. A. W. Warr, secretary. . The board of trustees 'has had but one presiding officer since Ita institu- tion. \ At the regular city electior in April, 1901, a proposition was sqbmitted to the electors as to whether or not a tax of one per cent per annum, should be levied for the support of the City Library, and _it is worthy of special notice that more than three -fourths of the electors of the city voted in fa- vor thereof, Since that time substan-. Willy the same organization hes con - .trolled the library, and the, list of 'books hail steadily inCreased until hoe , there are more than two thousand subirtantially bound and well selected volumes upon our shelves. ' After, the removal from this com- munity of Mrs. V. L. Hanson, In the fall of 1899, Miss Elisabeth S. Peebles, (now Mrs. Albert Pfaus), became the librarian and continued as such until the library was turned over to the city. Mrs. Mary Sloahe then became librarian and continued as such until 1904, since which Mrs. Albert Pfaus has .filled that position. During all of the years since the or- gaaization of the library it has been hain.pered for room- and has been circulating library only. lip until the fail of 1889, it was located in the milli- nery store of\ Mrs. M. L. Hanson, on the corner of Fifth avenue and Main street. It was then removed to the office of the county superintendent of sehOols, (Miss Peebles), where it con- tinued until it was turned over to the city when a room was giv,en it M the Public school building on Corcoran street, where it remained until the fall of 1904 when It waS moved into,. the city hall on Watson street. - • ' It has always been the desire of the trustees, and of those particularly in- terested In the library, to have larger and more convenient quarters, so that In addition to the circulation of the books a reading room might be main- tained. This has always heretofore been impossible on account of lack -of funds with which to maintain it. When the philanthropic instinct of Mr. 'Carnegie led him .to devote a con.- siderable portion of his great fortune to the establishment of public librar- ies, it occurred to us to appeal to him to do something for our own commun- ity. After considerable correspond- ence our hearts were gladdened by receiving a letter from him, through his private secretary. dated January. 19, 1905, in which he said: \Respond- ing to. your appeal on behalf of Lew- istown, if the city agrees by resolution of councils to maintain a free public library at a cost of not less than one thousand dollars a year, and provide a suitable site for the building, Mr. *Carnegie will be glad - to give Ten Thousand Dollars to erect a,,,free pub- lic library for Lewistown.\ After briefly reviewing the condi- tions imposed by Mr/ Carnegie, the doner of the library, and the prompt manner in Which these conditions were met by the citizens of Lewistown, Mr. Smith continued' To few, indeed, haa Heaven granted the splendid opportunity to lay up such a stupendous fortune as Mr.. Carnegie has accumulated, and of that road superintendent, 'and at 'last to the head of the greatest corporation in the world, he has come into contact with, every condition of' life, and has partaken of all life's labors, asplia-. tions, success and disappointments. Guided thus by experience he has given practical direction 'to his splen- did benefactions, founding colleges, helping needy educational institutions, establishing hospitals, and donating libraries. For these purposes he has already given away more than $50,000,- 000. Today, al we, by these exercilles, give impression to our thankfulness and appreciation of thelavor of Heat - en Which has given us this splendid II- ,brary building, let us give .to Andrew Carnegie that meed of honor to which his splendidly wise philanthropy, his brain, grit and energy so justly En- titles\ him. And with this expression of appreciation let 'us couple the wish that his years may be many and filled witn,ever increasing opportunities for usefulness and multiplying opportuni- ties to meet them. And as the years go by and as we continue to enjoy. this building, the fruits of his beneficence. may we ever keep in mind the fact that to Andrew' Carnegie alone is dve the credit of this institution. At this poinc,the speaker spoke et some length, on the \g-eat Idegu,ngerr., few none has made so wise, so gener- ous a use. , Himself, born in the humblest ranks of society, with little of school educe- tioa,, early assuming the duties of self- support, toiling from one position to another of ever increasing usefulness. from telegraph messenger boy to rati- fying the founding of libraries and de- scribed a number of the libraries, both past and present. Referring to the value of libraries in, our educational system, he said: To many a college education is in- accessible; the institutions of higher education' are beyond their reach.
