We draw attention te this because we believe

that here is a contest. which, as a stimulus te young
minds, has everything. The prizes for the various

grades will not go necessarily to those who have a

on far more than these.

As we see it, the student who will seriously
contend for a prize is the student whose good spell-
ing is employed on words that show comprehension
and originality, and whose good grammar has
omething to say that is clear and discerning.

A competent book review requires that much at
It calls for insight into what the author is
trying to express, and judgment as to whether it is
expressed well. It should be an appraisal of the
whole context, not a summary of the plot.

The contest merits attention not only because
it promotes youthful power of expression, but also
because it furthers interest in good literature among
the young.

least.

“A generation ago, books were the most popular
form of entertainment; but for some years now,
books have been only one of many things that com-
pete for the child’s interest,” Rt. Hon. Vincent
Massey, the Governor-General, has said in a mes-
sage. “But it is still true that books are vital to the
business of education.

“To be well educated is to be well read; reading
makes us familiar with our literature, and our his-
tory, responsive to the beauty and power of words,
and able to use them well. The taste for good read-
ing is formed in childhood. It is important that
Young Canada should read.”

In sponsoring Young Canada’s Book Week, the
Canadian Library Association is performing a val-
uable service to schoolehildren who, without an
additional ineentive to read, could easily form an
indifference to books that would last through adult
years and deprive them of that much companion-

hip and pleasure.

Simultaneously, the Association is awakening
public appreciation of the work being done by our
publie libraries. If recognition of this work were
even half as extensive as the work itself, there
would be no problem.

In Prince Rupert, for example, the public
library last year had a total cireulation of approxi-
mately 22,300, of which 7,200 was in the juvenile
and young people’s category. This is a notable
achievement, but with more public encouragement
this essential service could be expanded immeas-
urably.

If Young Canada’s Book Week lives up to its
present promise, it may be that we will have to take
a lesson from the children in this respect.
