The Brooklyn Citizen from Brooklyn, New York • 7

the the HE 111 A THE BROOKLYN CITIZEN, THURSDAY, JUNE 6. 1912. IS BROKEN FOR PUBLIC LIBRARY Mayor Gaynor in His Address Takes a Whack at Roosevelt---Steers Starts the Shovel. Mayor William J. Gaynor W08 the guest of honor yesterday afternoon at the breaking of ground for the new Central Building of Brooklyn Public Library, at Park Plaza, Eastern Parkway and Flatbush avenue.

Mayor Gaynor, as the principal speaker of the occasion, made a short but eloquent address. He made Roosevelt a momentary target at the close of his speech. The Mayor did not mention the former President's name, but there was no mistaking the object of the very pointed remarks. Mayor Gaynor was dwelling upon government by the people. "I know there are some people," said the Mayor, "that have very little faith in it.

and I am sorry to say there are a great many people who are prone to run to idols and! demagogues, as though they did not have faith in their own intelligence. We don't want any 'strong this country. We don't want any men who think they are the only ones fit to rule. The people would better keep the rulership of the government in their own hands, and 11N a rule, pick out from among themselves very humble and very honest, and at the same time very competent people to carry on their government for them, and some one who will fly away with their liberties." The and representative audience of over one thousand people no doubt clearly understood the meaning of the Mayor's remarks. Long applause followed.

A few words more and the Major closed speech. The band struck up "The Star Spangled Banner," and the large assemblage of men and women arose, cheered and waved flags and handkerchiefs. Insists This Still Is Government by the People. "Our government is a government of the people. You perceive that no gOvernment by the people can be successful one unless the people are educated.

If only a few people are educated then only that few will govern, and ought to govern. But our system is government by the people through manhood suffrage. Everybody has the right to vote. We are bound, therefore, in order to get a good result, to educate everybody. Otherwise government becomes corrupt and degradlack of education and moral sense.

that purpose we establish a splendid system of schools. Everybody is ed free. Even the books are furnished to the children free. addition to that we establish libraries. here in this city of New York we are greatly blessed in that respect.

We have many libraries. And you are now dedicating 11 Central Library to this part of the city. "I never make anything 11 mere borough affair. I don't believe in it. believe in a whole city and not merely in some particular part of the city.

We have grand Central Library on the other side of the river, and now to-day I you commence the building of one which will be equally grand. Mr. Boody has alluded to the fact that al great battle of the War of the Revolution was fought right here where you people now are. And ret there is no monument erected yet to celebrate that battle. In New Engiand at very place where they had a little tight.

even. they have put a monument up, and everybody inquires what. it means. And they learn all about it. Here in this part of the country we neglected that very largely, although this.

battlefield is is important as any in New England. We have neglected to put up the monuments and the shafts which invite public attention to them, and educate people in respect of them. But in lien of monument, or until that monument erected here, or in this vicinity, we put up this monument, this great public library great, attest what we struggled for at the time of that battle, and what we hope we have permaDently attained since. "We have permanently attained it, not by the favor of any statesmen, or of any statesman. They have helped to lead.

We have attained by the intelligence of the people. And that intelligence, by our schools and by our libraries, we intend to carry on1 forever and forever, until popular government is found to be a failure and is no more, if that time ever is to come." President Boody Reviews History of the Library Project. The exercises, which began about 4 o'clock, were conducted on a large grandstand especially erected for the purpose, on the parkway side. Seated on the grandstand were the trustees of the library, members of their families, and friends, and the invited guests, including the librarians and their assistants. Kwan-ichi Imai, director of the Osaka Library, Japan, who is now traveling in this country studying the management of our public libraries, was an interested spectator.

Following an opening prayer by the Rev. James M. Farrar, D. ex-Mayor David A. Boody, president of the Brooklyn Public Library, who presided.

delivered the opening address. He said: "I think I should make this salutation broader, broad as our country, for the event which we celebrate to-day has a significance beyond borough limits and beyond municipal limits, even though that municipality is the great City of New York, Our purpose in coming here is indissolubly connected with the character and genius of our national citizenship. This event is but a repetition of the old story or an evolution of the old faith which first had expression at the beginning of our national life in the old country schoolhouse. We believe, as our fathers before us believed, the wisdom and in the saving power of education as applied to our national life. so the library of to-day, the modern library, which differs as much from the library of thirty years ago as electric power differs from horse power, the library that enters every home, the library that reaches all the people, is rapidly becoming the people's university.

In this great college of the people there are on these bright June days no graduations. no degrees, no rolls of alumni and alumnae, but if we could see the armies which are constantly going forth from these library privileges better prepared in so many ways for the duties and the contests and the trials of life, we should all declare in unison, greater strength and life without limit to the modern library." Mr. Boody then briefly, reviewed the history of the library, concluding: we are circulating over four millions of volumes annually and we hare an enroilment of those who use the libraries of over 250.000, and this does not include those who use the reference departments. We have up to the present time about 750.000 rolumes and are spending nearly $100,000 a year in making ndditions to this number. "It is with pleasure and gratitude that mention the interest and help which the library has received from all the city administrations which have existed since it commenced its work.

In this respect, the understanding that existed when we merged our municipal rights in a larger municipality, that our compensation should be found in the belp CLASS OF TWELVE GIVEN DIPLOMAS B'klyn Heights Seminary Commencement.

Attempts to harmonize the warring Republican factions of the Fifteenth AssemMy District failed Tuesday night. There had been some talk in Greenpoint that the opposition, led by Edgar H.

Or swiftly glide through the vale, To dizzy heights, over clouds arise Till the earth grew dim and pale.

Many Candidates for Nomination for Congress. Great interest is being shown in the new Tenth Congressional District in the race for Cougressional honors there. The district has no member of the House of Representatires living within its borders. It consists of parts of the Seventeenth. Eighteenth.

Twenty-second and Twentythird Assembly Districts. along the eastern boundary of Kings County. It is pected to prove a very close district, with the chances slightly favoring the Democrats. Owing to division in Republican party and the elation of the Democrats there are many Democratic candidates. Among them are James M.

Power. secretary to the Public Works Commissioner: former Alderman Alexander S. Dreseber, Alfred A. Schlickermann and Frank Was. serman.

There is also talk that Congressman William C. Redfield may more into the district and become a candidate if he fails to get the Vice-Presidential nomination.
