Educational Reports

Traditionally, Americans have
been known as people who read
few books. AS recently as 1857,
when asked if they were cur
rently reading a book, only IL
per cent of adults who were poll
ed in this country said they were.
BY contrast, 55 per cent of
English adults who were queried
said yes, as did "a per cent of
West German adults, 80 per cent
of Australians, and 81 per cent
of Canadians.
For years this bOok-ignoring ha-
bit of most US citizens has been
a source of embarrassment to
the United States - a country
which has more people who can
read, with more money and more
leisure time than any other West
ern democracy. 1t has also been
long a source of Encouragement
to authors, publishers, and es-
pecially to librarians.
Is this situation changing? Are
more Americans discovering
books, and the wealth Of informa-
ton, entertainment, and relaxa-
ton they contain?
Robert L. Talmadge, director Of
the Tulane University library, be-
lieves they are. And he has some
impressive facts to support his
opinion.
Il may be optimistic, but
think this country's book-reading
profile is changing" Talmadge
says. II think we hit the bot
tom, from the standpoint of our
people ignoring books, and that
now the pendulum has begun to
swing back in the opposite direc-
ton. In short, / think American
readers are reading more books
than ever before, and many for
mer non-readers are now read
ing"
He cited some recent statistics
on the subject:
'sBook manufacturing activity
has been reported as showing a
1874 per cent increase for the first
seven months of this year, COM
pared to the same period last
year.

tremendous Job remains 30 be
done.
The stimulation of what we
call the lifetime reading habit
is probably the most important
subject in the world to ibrari-
ans" Talmadge said. Much has
been done and is being done"
Public libraries have long been
practicing SaleSmanship techni-
ques to encourage borrowing. Cir
culating lists of new books, ar
ranging and changing special
book exhibits designed to whet
the readers appetite, and giving
ever-improving service TO read
ers are just a few ways in which
public libraries have campaigned
to stimulate the book-reading
habit.
university libraries, too, which
once felt they had captive au-
dience, are directing more and
more effort into putting more
books into the hands of more stu
dents," Talmadge said.
A recent report by Elizabeth
o. Stone of the Southern Illinois
University library supports Tai
madge's opinion, and shows that
colleges and universities through
out the country are campaigning
for the cause of the lifetime read
ing habit.
Mills College, for example.
sponsors weekly reading-aloud
hours. Stanford University places
paperback collections in residence
halls. Oberlin College has a rent
al collection to make available
books not ordinarily purchased.
Tulane and other institutions plan
special exhibits of books by camp
us visitors, books by faculty
members, and books-made-into-
movies.
There may also be book collec-
ton contests, book reviews in
alumni magazines and school
newspapers, and student book
sales.
Do such efforts show results?
In 196O-61 Tulane students
checked out $4,000 more books
from the main library than a
student body of about the same
size had borrowed the year be-
fore.

Reading habits improving

Last year, Americans spent
S12 billion for books of all kinds.
This was 13 per cent more than
the year before, and twice as
much as was spent in 1855.
"Sales Of fiction and nonfiction
books in hard covers rose 60 per
cent in 1860, over 1856. Sales of
juvenile books doubled. Sales of
paperback books nearly doubled.
And textbook sales rose 20 per
cent from the 1855 volume"
In addition to this encouraging
increase in book-buying, Tai
madge said, reports indicate the
book-borrowing from both pub
lie and university libraries is
steadily increasing.
A survey made by the US Of
flee of Education shows that i'm
one recent six-year period, the
number of books borrowed by the
average person increased by
about 20 per cent. A University
of Illinois sample survey of 3S
public libraries throughout the
United States showed a gain of
Is per cent in book circulation
between 1855 and 1860.
The advent of the paperback
book in recent years has in itself
resulted in publications explo-
sion," Talmadge said. 'Tlhe en-
couraging aspect of this is that
these books, now found in great
numbers in such once-unlikely
places as drug stores, airports and
supermarkets, include many volu-
mes of real merit.
1T is true, of course, that on
the paperback shelves you'll find
many books of dubious value. But
on the other hand you will also
find Shakespeare, Mark Twain,
Dickens, Faulkner, Hemingway,
and books on many scientific
topics written by recognized au-
thorities in their fields"

at one American college spent

of his trial.
The pneumonia developed
after throat surgery this morn
ing to ease his breathing.
Unaware Of Conviction
Ward was unaware that a
jury in Old Bailey Court had
convicted him on two counts
of living off prostitution.
The 50-year-old Ward was
being drip-fed through a vein
with a nutrient solution con-
tanning a heart stimulant.
The throat surgery-a trach-
eotomy to insert a breathing
tube in a hole in Wards wind
pipe-was performed this morn
ing at st. Stephens Hospital
where he has been unconscious
since 8 am. yesterday.
The afternoon medical bulle-
tin said:
"Dr. Wards condition has de-
Perforated and he has had to
be returned to mechanically
controlled breathing"
w. Mayne Butcher, a hos
pital official who issued the
bulletin, said Ward has been
attached to a Boyle'S machine
which breathes air in and out
of his lungs"
Such machines are a kind Of
iron lung.
Ward was briefly treated
with one upon his admission to
the hospital, but had since been
breathing naturally.
Later Mr.. Butcher said the

machine being used was a

The throat operation lasted
an hour and a half. Even then,
before the afternoon deteriora-
ton, Wards condition was de-
scribed as grave.
A medical bulletin issued by
st. Stephens Hospital said:
"Dr. Stephen Wards condi-
ton remains comparatively I'M
changed.
THAT is to say, he is still
grievously or critically i'll and
still deeply unconscious.
Ward was taken to the hos
pital yesterday after swallow
ing a massive dose of a bar
biturate.
Saw Political Revenge
A few hours earlier he had
told friends he believed his
trial was an act of political
revenge for trlggering the Pro-

House of Commons and as
Secretary Of State for War in
