Young Generation Reads Everything Heartening News To Worrying Adults By GAY PAULEY United Press Women’s Editor NEW YORK (UP)—One authority on children’s books says tod a y's young generation reads everything in reach. Which should be heartening news to all us adults who have been fretting about the demands of television on a child’s free hours or on reasons why “Johnny can’t read.” This being the 39th annual Children’s Book Week, I visited Mrs. Frances Spain, an affable, Geor-gia-born woman who has worked with youngsters in library and classroom for 25 years. She at present is head of the children’s section •of the New York Public Library, where some three and one-half million children’s books are checked out yearly. Classics to Comics "What are they reading? Mercy me, everything in all fields," said Mrs. Spain, They'er going through the books grandma grew up on ..the classics as well as the comics. I must say, though, we don’t Include the latter in bur library listings." “A bunch of us worried when television came along, fearing it would cut into a child’s reading time,” she recalled. “But then, so does dancing school. "Circulation did drop a bit at first, but not as we had feared. Television stimulates a certain amount of reading. The classic example was a few seasons ago when we had the Davy Crockett craze in everything. Well, we couldn’t keep his biography, or that of any other western hero on the shelves." . Statistics from the Children’s Book Council support Mrs. Spain’s ‘observations. Lucy Tompkins, the executive secretary, said that in 1921 there was one children's book editor Now, the council has 69 member publishers. Non-mem-ber publishers of juveniles bring the total to 105, she said. Children’s Books Triple In 1900, there were 527 children’s book titles published. Last year, 1,495. The American Book Publishers Council. Inc., reported a 38 per cent increase from 1954 through 1956 in die number of volumes sold, in the $1 and up category. The under $1 retail showed a 12 per cent increase. AU told iatt year, ‘ either the - kids or doting relatives bought nearly 145 million books. . Mrs. Spain said children’s tastes in reading have changed little ... with the y»OT. “We have noticed,” she said, "that there is more demand for books 61 factNot done in a fictional mjAaner, but . straight - forward. And • the children seem to be reading more biography and history. Right at the moment, our books on space, flying and science fiction are ‘best sellers’.” "But the children never tire of Black Beauty, Tom Sawyer, Hans Christian Anderson. Grimmjl Fairy Tales, Arabian Nights, Robinson Crusoe, Little Women, in Wonderland...”
