Non-F'ictiOn Increases

all the thousands of books of special
interest which evade classification.
Non-Fiction Increases
This proportion, according. to l.
brarians, shows non-fiction books to
have increased in circulation far be-
yond previous records. The reason
for it is one Tor conjecture. The de-
sire for knowledge, expanding Of indi-
vidual interests and the diffusion of
knowledge among persons of average
intellectual equipment might be cited
as causes.
Children readers are using non-fic-
ton books more than ever before.
Stimulation of interest in special SUBJ
jects in the schools due to progress
in educational methods might be the
cause of this increase.
More than 1851 requests for spe-
cfaI information were made in De
cember. Information within the scope
of each book department is combined
into a clearing house for questions
and answers OF which the pubic Is
apparently taking advantage.
