The last issue of the Austral Light (writes a Melbourne corre Bpondent) completes its first year under its new management and as the reoogniaed ecclesiastical organ of the archdiocese. During that twelve months its circulation has risen from a shade over 1000 to 3500 copies per month. The index for the year reveals the names of distinguished ecclesiastical and lay writers from every province of Australia and New Zealand. In the last number Archbishop Can suggests that the Catholic Record, of Sydney, and the Auttral Light should invite lints of the best 100 books for the young from laymen and ecclesiastics. It might not be a bad idea for a weekly Catholic paper to invite lists of favorite books from its young readers — not by any means 100 each each, any number from one to twelve would do — to see what the taste of young Catholic Australia really is, and how the combined information might be usefully assorted.
