This wveek man cenitres. throughiout Canada will be observ- ing atinal lbrry eek in an effort Po place m-ore importance cv iichinlMtuti ons. The importance of reading and the supply of -, talebok is possibly one of the elhief sources of knowledge 'lha', we have. Prof essor W. J. Eccles of the University of Alberta lu making - Wrcettst of first year studeuts in knowleýdge of history claimed zhem tIo be 'appallingly ignorant'. 0Df course hlIs solution is that of miore reading ýwith botter reading habits. The few students, hie damrhat did wel in the test fell into twvo categories: those Who hiad excoptionally goodl teachers and those who owed their high acheveentto their home environment, A reading specialist, Dr. Cocil J. Wilkins, of Ontario, lias fP,ýnmd throug-h an extensive survey that lu Toronto at least one iu fivýe and possibly one in three of the students entering grade 9 are such poor readers that they will neyer graduate. Many of ilhemi are reading at only grade five level. Iu today's fast moving age one eaui only keep abreast of fievelopmeuts through the use of books lu which information may be obtainod. Knowledge of a reluctant reader must certainly be impaired and lacking. Poor roading ablity is linked with poor vo- cabulary, poi' spelling and inabilty to locate, select and organize. It also means that ones ability to absorb ideas and to express his own ideas is seiously hampered. To promote btter readlng we must equip our schools with i-oýre books, our libraries with I-ore and bette-r books and also there miust be a g-reater entphasis placed by those within the home on the use of good and more books. Mucli eau be doue from withlu the home to improve this reluctance to read. Locally, throughi lack of interest of the citizens wve have little f0 off or and to encourage more use of books. Our lcal library is flot usecdtof extont that it should be nr does it re- cýeive any great support f rom the public. Flnancially it operates on a shoe-string and thus is hampored in providing a 'wvder variety of books. In must other centres :the local Library ,vould bo support- ,ed f0 a great extent throug~h a loical levy. This is so in the Village of Newcastle. Prasduring this week more considexlation could be given to the use of gooil books and a membership would certainly be wel- comned at t:he locl lbrary.
