LIBRARIES FOR SCHOOLS
LESS PUBLIC MONEY,
PUBLISHER VOICES REGRET
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, June 12,
The managing director of one of the largest publishing houses in England, Mr George G. Harrap, is a passenger to San Francisco by the Makura, which arrived to-day, en route to England from Sydney. Interviewed, he commented on the fact that public money was no longer being spent In some places on the provision of school libraries, which he noted with regret, as such libraries -were among the most valuable school adjuncts. He was of the opinion that the public censorship of books should be avoided and that books should be left to find a level in public estimation. This usually meant that poor and salacious books were quickly forgotten. He described as erroneous the idea that London publishers did not welcome manuscripts from New Zealand.
