JOHN COTTON DANA

Who dares to teach must never cease to learn.

The library should be a commonplace to every one. To use it should be as natural when one needs news or knowledge, fiction or fact, as it is to use the trolley when one needs transportation.

A great department store, easily reached, open at all hours, is more like a good museum of art than any of the museums we have yet established.

The public library is a center of public happiness first, of public education next.
