Excerpt from Library Extension in Ontario: Reading Camps and Club Houses, With Second Annual Report of Canadian Reading Camp Movement, 1901-02
Venerable to me is the hard Hand; rmoked, coarse; wherein notwithstanding lies a cunning virtue, indefensibly royal, as of the Scepter (n this Planet. Venerable too is the rugged face, all weather-tanned, besoiled, with its rude intelligence: for it is the face of a Man living manlike. 0, but the more venerable for thy rudeness, and even because we must pity as well as love thee! Hardly entreated Brother! For us was thy back so bent, for us were thy straight limbs and fingers so deform ed; thou wert our Conscript, on whom the lot fell, and fighting our battles wert so marred. For in thee too lay a God-created Form, but it was not to be unfolded; incrusted must it stand with the thick adhesions and defacements of Labor; and thy body, like they soul, was not to know freedom. Yet toil on, toll on; thou art in thy duty, be out of it who may; then toilest for the altogether indispensible, for daily bread.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book discusses the importance of free education for all members of society, including the working class, lumberjacks, and miners. The author highlights the unfairness of having a system that only allows the wealthy to receive an education. They argue that this inequality creates a divide in society and prevents the working class from reaching their full potential. The author proposes several solutions to this problem, including the establishment of public libraries and the provision of free education for all children. They also discuss the importance of creating a culture of reading and learning in order to improve the lives of the working class. This book is a valuable contribution to the discussion of educational equality and provides insights into the challenges faced by the working class in the early 20th century.
