INFANT READERS
BOOKS IN SHORT SUPPLY It may be two years before the demand for reading materials for infant classes in New Zealand schools is met, according to information received from the printers by a deputation from the Canterbury School Committees’ Association. ft was reported to a meeting recently that controls on paper supplies outside the Dominion, an increased demand from the larger school population, and labour difficulties, were the chief restrictions. The printers were producing more infant readers than ever before; but supplies were being absorbed as quickly as they were produced. The deputation suggested that x the only means of easing the situation was to keep books in good order and arrange for them to be retailed to succeeding pupils. Infant mistress of the Women Teachers’ Association advised that the supply was “thoroughly unsatisfactory” and that grave difficulties in teaching reading would be encountered next year. It was agreed to make all efforts to keep available books in circulation.
