NEW CARNEGIE PLAN. Library Grants to Cease in Britain. ALLEVIATE UNEMPLOYMENT. British Official Wireless. (Received 1.30 p.m.) RUGBY, May 3. The Carnegie United Kingdom Trust announces the approaching termination of grants for public libraries, which have been so noted a feature in its policy in past years. The trustees, are of the opinion that in this field and some others they have 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. The provisional amount is £150,000.
While there is 110 possibility of treating land settlement as a cure for unemployment 011 an indefinitely large scale, investigations have convinced the trustees that there is room for experiment on carefully-planned lines in cooperative small-holding schemes of from 30 to 40 families, each holding three to ten acres of land, and in co-operative part-time sustenance holdings.
