The Kansas City Public Library is an outgrowth of a patriotic desire on the part of the ladies of the city to see the Gate City represented at the Centennial Exposition. This project abandoned, the disposition of the funds thus collected became a subject of discussion. Finally, after a bloodless but not wordless warfare of several weeks between two factions, and with some assistance from the legal fraternity, the matter was arbitrated, and the apple of discord placed in the hands of the Board of Education. A library of 25,000 volumes and a fine building in the near future are the result.
