auswer was disappointing. Sanderson is not satisfied with what the libraries up and down the country are doing for the children. "If we are not doing our beat for the children, if we starve them raentally," he said, "We are gulity of callous and criminal neglect. As librarians, we are in a position to say to them, 'Come to us for your reading, but taking the country broadly, what do they get? A few few juggling tricks with books and a certain amount of shop-window dressing. Are those libraries doing their job?"
For the specialist reader, Mr. San- derson said, almost anything could be obtained in London, but the average student who was trying to make his way through, a special subject, had a great struggle to books he needed.

Because it uses the words 'Christ' and 'bloody," it has been put out of library after library."
Mr. Sanderson's point was that when a man was arriving at a solu tion of very difficult problems, he only reached it by reading about hundreds of things that were miles away from his problem. His mind needed the strimulus that came from contact with sincere and liv- ing minds, working on their own proble.as of life. ・・・
The speaker did not wish to dis- euss the censorship, but he suggest- ed that the Library Association should have a definite opinion about it. They should not shirk it because of its difficulty. Were they facing up to other problems? Were they writing on prejudices or on ideals? "When I ask, Are the libraries doing their job?" Mr. Sanderson concluded, "I mean also; Are the librarians duing their job?"
