Tho report of the public library
for 1924 shows a gratifying inn

funds have been sufficient to per-
NIT OF many activities hitherto
denied and neither business depres-

our work in any marHed degree.
Adult education occupies an Inn

Juveniles of
TodayRead
Fewer Books
Publication Is Failing Off
In Country, Figures
Show

j. is said that the publication Of
Juvenile fiction has fallen off great
ly during the last decade. II this is
so. what is the reason for til And
the answer given-the most prob
able reason-is the moving pictures
have pushed boys and girls books
out OF the field.
This may very likely be true. The
moving picture does what the Ju-
venne book did. only does It better.
Neither OF these literary outputs
goes deeply into any analysis of hui
man character. but relies mainly up
on action, action. action.
And hat is where the screen has
great advantage over the printed
page. Readers whot are possessed OF
strong visual fancy can picture,
with their inner eye the doings OF
the hero, heroine and villain with a
vlvidness-if the story is clearly
told-almost equal TO that of the
screen. but a large percentage of the
public lack this intellectual faculty.
And they are the ones who miss half
the appeal Of the printed page, In
historical and biographical works
and in fiction rs well.
The screen gets both these classes
OF readers. and the printed page OF
the book OF juvenile fiction gets only
ono Of them. Thus the number of
fiction readers falls off. the demand
for boys and girls books falls off
also. and the watchful publishers re
duce their output of such publica-
lions.
1t is again the case OF the sur
vival Of the fittest" and the "%fittest"
in this instance is the juvenile book
that speeds up action and throws
in the highest colors possible.
