LITERATURE FOR CHILDREN
At the monthly meeting of the College Street School Parent-Teacher Association, Miss M. Watson, librarian of the children’s section of the Palmerston North Municipal Library, delivered an address on “Some Aspects of Modern Literature.” The main source of children’s literature in New Zealand in recent years had been America, she said, interested people in that country having produced some splendid material. England had, of course, had other things on her mind. blit was again on the way to producing an excellent range of books, while New Zealand had done very little towards publishing original work. From a selection of books Miss Watson gave her audience an idea of the class of literature which her library had and hoped to have more of in the near future, and at the conclusion of her talk -;swered a number of questions. Mr S. F. Prosser presided, and a vote of appreciation of the services which the library was rendering to the children of the city and district was moved by Mrs W. J. Hall.
