EVENING BEADING ROOMS. 



These Reading Rooms, open from 6 to 9-30 p.m., are four in number, 

 and are located in various school-rooms. Their establishment was the

 classes facilities for reading within easy distance from their homes. 

 Books are not supplied ; but, instead, the principal London and local 

 papers and a large selection of useful and entertaining magazines
