Présentation de l'éditeur

In the following chapters an attempt is made to set forth the various ways in which children are being sup Iplied with books through the instrumentality of libraries. The subject falls naturally into well-marked divisions. The first five chapters deal with the work of the public library for children, first, as public school pupils, and, secondly, as children. The remainder of the book treats of the efforts of the state to provide books for the young through school libraries. Since both movements began in the United States, and since that nation stands out so prominently in its advanced educational methods and liberal expenditures for both library and school purposes, a considerable part of the book refers to United States conditions. The Province of Ontario also receives a large share of attention, educational affairs in this province being of great interest to the writer. The various topics are dealt with, first, historically, then in their present-day relations, an effort having been made to bring the facts as nearly up-to-date as possible. The greater part of the material for this thesis was obtained from the files of various library and educational journals, from reports and pamphlets, and from personal correspondence.
