CARNEGIE TRUST
WORK IN UNITED KINGDOM
TERMINATION OF GRANTS
(British Official Wireless.) (Received May 4, 2 p.m.)
RUGBY, May 2.
The Carnegie United Kingdom Trust announces the approaching termination of grants for public libraries which have been so noted a feature of its policy in past years.
The trustees are of opinion that in this field and in 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 ko possibility of treating land settle-ment-as a cure of unemployment on an indefinitely large scale, investigations have convinced the trustees that there is room for experiment on carefullyplanned lines in co-operative smallholding schemes of 30 to 40 families, each holding three.to ten acres.of.land, and in co-operati\».> part-time sustenance holdings..
