塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《节俭》· Thrift · 投资
But this was not all. Two and a half per cent. was appropriated from the net profits to support the news-rooms and library; and there are now eleven news and reading rooms at different places in or near the town where the society carries on its business; the sum devoted to this object amounting to over seven hundred pounds per annum. The members play at chess and draughts, and use the stereoscopic views, microscopes, and telescopes placed in the libraries. No special arrangements have been made to promote temperance; but the news-rooms and library exercise a powerful and beneficial influence in promoting sobriety. It has been said that the society has done more to remove drunkenness from Rochdale than all that the advocates of temperance have been able to effect.

但这还不是全部。从净利润中拨出百分之二点五用于支持新闻室和图书馆;现在在城镇内或附近有十一个新闻和阅览室,用于此目的的资金每年超过七百英镑。成员们下棋、玩跳棋,使用图书馆里的立体视图、显微镜和望远镜。没有特别安排促进戒酒,但新闻室和图书馆在促进清醒方面发挥了强大而有益的影响。有人说,这个社团在消除罗奇代尔醉酒现象方面所做的,比所有戒酒倡导者能做的还要多。
