the beautifully bound wellillustrated volumes A questionnaire recently- cir culated throughout northern York county on childrens ing by the Home arid School echoed this concern over the price of childrens books Most of the questionnaires admitted that the price of these books af fected the number they purch ased each year that their school board allotted each class room in that school

of Home and School council which was held in the attractively renovated Aurora public school Wells St had childrens reading as its theme Mrs Browning was convener At this latter meeting a lively discussion was held on many phases concerning child reading The guest speak er Charles author of the current juvenile stressed the need for providing good books for our children He said that poor paper poor illus trations and an inferior publi cation would not satisfy a childs love of beauty We must buy a book which will interest the youngster It must be one which he is proud to own his interest and pride of possession he will enjoy and treasure his new book The same thoughts were echo ed by the radio skit headed by Mrs Sheik with Rev Kent and Walter Sanders as sisting Under Mrs Sherks di rection the discussion period brought forth many suggestions One of these presented by Mrs Myrtle Newmarket was that the publishers be asked 16 make reprints of good childrens hooks which could compete with comic books suggestion was that beside each pile of comic books in the stores would bo placed another of books reprints of many fine juveniles now available only iri much more expensive editions These reprints would sell for some where around Mrs argued that if such a project was undertaken it would not he too long before children would select Hie better books in preference

to become avid readers We want them to know and enjoy the world that awaits them in good books Can we make a library service avail able to them within the class rooms of Newmarket schools Can we
