ltt Cmufaiau pews. Friday, February 8, 1918 SCHOOL LIBRARIES. The reception accorded to the Carnegie Trust scheme for school Libraries has been most encouraging, and those who have the work in hand have expressed their appreciation of the way the country districts-and Car- diganshire in particular—have re- sponded. The suggestions placed before the County Education Com- mittees have been practically all on the same broad principles, and the .financial provision has been most generous. Briefly, the idea is to set up a central depot in the county town with a head librarian, and to add to the school libraries by boxes of books which re- rttaiii in use for a period and are then changed for a new set. The scheme has everything' to commend it, for boxes can be made up on special sub- jects similar to those arranged by the National Library for the W.E.A. i classes, and all the accumulated know- I ledge of the ages will be at the disposal of the humblest village school. There will of necessity be a certain amount of outlay and later there will be the upkeep, but the Committees must see that their foundation is well and truly laid So that the structure may stand when time has carried the first workers from out the bourne of time and sense." The greatest care will be needed in the appointment of the Librarian, for that individlll-man or woman-will make or mar the scheme. A book-lover possessed of sound com- mon sense, and above all with a know- ledge of children's literature as well as abstract subjects must be chosen. There are still well-meaning persons who choose children's books by titles rather than by knowledge. It may be that the Committee, itself, will make the choice, and this would be infinitely better. Even then. the librarian must be an enthusiast and not a time-server. It may be termed a minor appointment, but it is one that means much to- the young life of the country. The hearty co-operation of the teachers is, happily, assured. It will relieve them of a burden which has long been felt by all who work in the rural schools, and it will enable them personally to tap the most recent literature and strengthen their teaching in a manner hitherto impossible. To village life the coming of the school libraries means much. There is a terrible tendency in every small com- munity for the standard of talent in all directions to decline or to be measured by that of a neighbouring district.

trt £ HOUSUHiG fBOHl FHf
trt £ HOUSUHiG fBOHl FHf iiie recent comeieace on housing in, Cardiganshire exemplified the maniiola ditlicuities presented_by this intricate problem. inere was unanimity as to the need of doing something, and of doing that something without delay but when the question of.what steps should be taken was considered it uas realised how many and divergent the proposals were. A section of the con- ference was in favour of grouping houses in model villages, with spacea between each in urban districts of not more than twelve houses to the acre,, and eight in rural areas. Others were equally positive that the houses must be scattered over the rural districts and; that land should be attached for- gardening as well as for the keeping of cows and pigs. Other aspects of the problem were whether the co-opeiv ative or civic principle should be adopted whether the houses should be freehold or leasehold whether the tenants should be encouraged to pur- chase their houses, or to purchase a share in the co-operative building ven- ture whether the State or the County Council should take the initiative 7 what proportion of public money should be furnished.. and on what terms Those and other questions came up for discussion but the conference ended as .many others will end, without any clear lead being given. One thing only was made manifest-that a large num- ber of houses are needed if the process of killing off the manhood and woman- hood of the country prematurely is not to continue indefinitely. It is reported that Tregaron and Cardigan Rurat Councils are quite satisfied with things as they are. That will surprise no one, much less those conversant with the conditions of those districts. They are easily satisfied, as the leaders have un. fortunately found a low estimate of the value of human life, and a correspond- ingly high estimate of the value of money, as expressed in rates. It is regrettable that Tregaron and Cardtgam rural councillors do not take the trouble to read their own medical officers' re- ports, or to act on the recommendations of their sanitary inspectors. If they did so, they might reconsider their present attitude of complacency. Every thought- ful observer of rural and urban con- ditions in Cardiganshire, and indeed in every district in Wales, is convinced- that sweeping changes must be made if the ravages of the white plague and other diseases which sap the vitality of the peopl e are to be combated. A Ministry of Health with adequate powers must be established to save those who decline to save themselves. The Government must make up its mind to do more than contribute more than- the difference between pre-war and post-war cost of building. This is not a party or sectional question, but a question of vital national import, far transcending in importance the aims of parties and sects that men quarrel and fight over. Happily for the country there are men now in authority, and likely to remain there, who are thoroughly convinced that present con- ditions must cease and that bold measures must be taken to remedy thi$- glaring national defect.

specimens whose efforts are nothW when .compared with the world outside but who expect-and often demand^ the praise of their fellows. The trouble lies in the ignorance of all concerned. The chmpion. soloist is champion only tor the immediate area, and it is for his that ^°?d tthT • hC shou,d u"derstand that i\o task is so difficult as to bririe about that realization without offence. It applies in every walk of life, to men and women, rich and poor. The hurnbkr the man the wideVhis know! dge. the more arrogant the more ignorant. yet how shall they learn without the opportunity? Teachers and preachers may do their utmost, but only through books can the wide range be secured; only by reading can the boys and girls and not the boys and girls- alone -be made to realize that other boys and girls, other men and, women, have fought similar battles and over- come similar difficulties to those being met by many for the first time. Good books show the way out. They arouse the intellect, broaden the vision, and draw out the best in all who read them. The new school libraries will bring to, the rising generation an opportunity for advancement and development hitherto unobtainable. The reading will require careful guidance and the work of the teachers will be increased-certainly not minimised. To a. lover of learning, the helping of others along the .great highway is a labour of love rather than a task, and it is to this labour of love that the teachers of rural Wales are- being calIect-nor will the call be irt vain.
