POLICY OF CARNEGIE TRUST.
TERMINATION OF GRANTS. LAND SETTLEMENT A NEW FEATURE. (United Press Association—Copyright.) (Received This Dav, 10.30 a.m.) LONDON, May 3. The Carnegie United Kingdom Trust announces the approaching termination of grants for public libraries, which have been noted as a feature of irs policy in past years. The trustees are of opinion, in this field and in spine others, that they helped to set up a standard which should enable others to carry on and develop the work. The most important allocation in the programme of the trustees for the next five years, representing a new departure, is for land settlement, for which a provisional amount of £150,000 has been made. While there is no possibility of treating land settlement as a cure for unemployment on an indefinitely largo scale, investigations convinced the Trustees that there uas room for experiment, on carefullyplanned lines, in co-operative small holding schemes of 30 to 40 families, each holding three to ten acres of land, and in co-operative part-time sustenance holdings.
