HIGHER CLASS BOOKS READ TOItOVTO MIIKAIMAN HMH IlIUdKK IlKMAMI !OK IMiTTKB TYPK OF MTKHATI Hi; TORONTO. Jan. 3 (By Canadian Press). Commenting recently on Canadian public statistics for the past year. Dr. George Locke, rhlef librarian of the Toronto library, remarked that the figures proved conclusively that the automobile, the moving pictures and ttie radio are not presenting the serious competition to reading which many people feared they would. "Canadlens are reading mora aaeidu-ously than ever before, and they are reading better books," said Dr. Locks. "While, of course, the demand for the cheaper popular fiction continues to be heavy, reoorta from all the) libraries ahow a steadily Increasing demand for blcgraphlea and books of travel. People are demonstrating an evtw -growing curiosity concerning those few ftetta of the world which are not ywt fully known: and such books a awranoe Rfevait In Arabia" are being" ageriyi). sought after." iirttkk miAiti) rou nooks The t vxecnslve nroducts of the the cheaper editions. Of course a oar-titin number of volumes are lost, stolen, or mutilated each year; but -It la clear that the pupil's irtard for books la on the Increase. "We may lose 20 books out of a quarter of a million In circulation, ' Continued Dr. Locke, "but book vandalism la dying out. The reader who Insists upon writing comments such as 'rotten' or 'great stuff In the margins of borrowed volumes is no longer so constant a source of annoyance. "The child particularly gives a beautiful book the care which it deserves. He quickly learns to realise the part which artistic binding and printing, ood paper, and fine Illustrating play In the worth of s volume. We can feet -nore secure in trusting children with expensive editions than adult." jrVBMI.BK IMI'ROVK Juvenile readers also display better taste In the reading matter which they prefer, according to the librarian.
