Sport v. Books.

" Tynesider " writes to T.P.s Weekly as follows ■ — " I work in a factory on the banks of the Tyne, employing, I should say, about 2,000 men and boys. In my own department there are 200 working. Out of that 200 I only know two who have the slightest love for books. The remainder can go on for hours discussing football or horse-racing, but as to literature, never a word."
