SHORTAGE OF SCHOOL BOOKS
Sir, —A new school year is almost here. What does it hold in store? Surely not the sad “Carry-on-as-best-you-can” style of the last few years. For instance, the “Live Readers’’ still used in many schools are unprocurable. For the last two years infant teachers have worked hard after school making little books and booklets for their classes. But no teacher, unless gifted like the monks of old, can make a book as interesting to the child’s eye as the printing machine. Couldn’t the Government take over the printing of all school books and put a stop to this shortage?—Yours, etc.. CITY TEACHER. January 27, 1947.
