CHANGE OF POLICY. LIBRARY GIFTS TO CEASE. LAND SETTLEMENT INSTEAD. (United Press Association. —By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (British Official Wireless.) Received May 4, 11.0 a.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. Tho trustees are of the opinion that in this field and some others they have helped to set up a standard which should able 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 no possibility of treating land settlement; as a cure for unemployment on an indefinitely large scale, investigations have convinced the trustees that there is room for experiment on carefully planned lines in co-operative small holding schemes of 30 to 40 families, each holding being of three to ten acres of land.
