Members of the Concord public library committee have drawn the line on literature, and pronounced MARK TWAIN'S "Huckleberry Finn" too "coarse" for a place among the classic tomes that educate and edify the people. They do not pick out any particular passage, but just sit on the book in general. When MARK writes another book he should think of the Concord School of Philosophy and put a little more whenceness of the hereafter among his nowness of the here.
