More Books Than Ever Before.

The past fiscal year showed the great
est production of copyrighted books in
the history of the United States. The
total number copyrighted and printed in
the United States was approximately
27,5O0, as compared with 26, 500 the year
before This is three times as many as
were copyrighted only eleven years ago.
The other copyright business of the
year. including pamphlets, music. drama,
periodicals. engravings. paintings and
the like, brought the total number OF
copyrights registered up to about 125 600.
The United States has become the
worlds foremost producer Of literature,
In quantity if not in quality. The records
of no European copyright office compare
with the 1913 record of the American
office.
The copyright Office is one of the few
institutions OF the American government
that are supporting. 1t annually
earns from $1,000 to So, 600 more than
1t expends, and this comes out of the
pockets of those who produce the coun-
trys literature.
