BOOKS FOR CHILDREN
In connection with Children's Book Week in Scotland, an exhibition of 3000 books was recently opened in Glasgow, and a committee of booksellers established a competition on somewhat unusual lines. A bookcase was with fifty children's books, and the children were iilvited to suggest twolve books suitable to their own respective sex and age which were missing from the fifty shown. Lists graded separately for boys and for girls up to eleven, from twelve to fourteen, and for fifteen and over, were made up by Hugh Walpole, and in each section there were three prizes for the children who got nearest to this list. Competitions upon th 6 same lines were held in Ipswich and other towns.
