CHILDREN’S BOOK WEEK
Sir,—Once upon a time a certain student had . covered the walls of his room with a crowd of rubbishy pictures, some of them hardly decent. One day a friend sent him a really good and beautiful picture. When he “ ad found a place for it on his walls he felt that most of the others must go they did. s g°°d to learn of the Children’s Book Week. That’s the way to tackle the problem—posi- * xL no r ne ®ative, the expulsive power of the better. Switching on the light is far better than cursing the darkness. Most of our young people and their elders are just as capable of appreciating the better things if they are well presented. All thoughtful people must surely welcome this movement. Incidentally, this positive method is good Christianity as well as good psychology.—Yours, etc., A . . p - B. HAGGITT. August 19, 1952.
