The spirit of the New Zealand pioneers, withits stress on cultural development should not beallowed to lapse, and it need not if New Zealanders will only renew the faith in British idealswhich their pioneer fathers respected so much.
Mr G. B. Shaw in his recent visit to Christchurch gave utterance to this thought when hesaid that the old traditions of! public action andspirit must be retained, and the country mustensure that the level of culture does not dropand that the son and grandson of the settler aremore cultured than their. ancestor.

SOME EW NOVELS
The Hills Sleep On. By Joanna Cannan. Onaccount of his knowledge of the country JamesRaeburn, an ardent mountaineer, is sent on asecret service mission to Tibet, and how hecarried it out is graphically described by MissCannan. The book is full of life, intrigue andadventure, whilst the descriptions of the sceneryshould appeal especially to all mountaineers. Itis interesting from beginning to end.
Blow Desert Winds. William Corcoran. Agood "western" story told of the earlier days ofthe small grazier settlers and their struggleagainst unscrupulous companies. Lovers ofwestern tales will find plenty of excitement following the hero, a nominal killer, through hisadventures from the time he breaks gaol to thetime he is granted a pardon and settles downwith the mate of his choice.
The Eunuch of StambuI. Denis Wheatley.A secret service romance with modern Turkeyunder Kernel Pasha as a background. Readersof Mr Wheatley's "Forbidden Territory" will findthis novel equally as thrilling and interesting.
Understudy to Sylvia. By Marjorie Warby.Diana Dean, with a crippled brother dependenton her, works as confidential secretary to JohnTempest and falls in love with her employer wholooks upon her as no more than a necessary pieceof office furniture. How does she overcome thesituation? It is a delightful story of love outside office hours, and is told with delicate charm,pathos and wit.
resulting from those long hours dampenedmy passion for reading-which still endures. Its gratification has been the mostcontinuously satisfying of all pleasures.
But enough of these personal recollections, for, in accordance with my undertaking, I must say something, howeverlittle, about the ostensible purpose of thisarticle. All right, let me say it if I cando so without incurring the criticism oftrying to climb up on to some pedestal ofexcellence, loftier than that of the ordinary reader. It is this: that the pleasurederived from the reading of the best bookson serious subjects surpasses the mostintoxicating joys of the confirmed novelreader, when one has really acquired thehabit and developed a genuine interest inthe subjects about which he reads. Thesubsidiary advantages should be obviousto all. One's interests, knowledge, andvocabulary are enormously widened. Lifebecomes more expansive. The range ofcommon interest uniting one to his fellowmen is gr-eatly extended. Increase incapacity for friendship; improved mentalculture; increased self-respect, shouldautomatically follow.
One other thing. The best way tolearn to read in a way most calculated toyield good results, is to select the hardest book you know of-provided you havesome interest in the subject-and readthat one book slowly, line by line, until youhave got the author's full meaning. Allother reading. will thereafter becomeeasy.
This do and thou shalt become a reader in the true meaning of the word, andthe non-fiction section of your Library willbecome to you of the greatest importance.
In the meantime, may I congratulatethe promoters of this magazine on theirenterprise. It is a great idea, and, if itis intended to include a book-review page,it will be eagerly looked for by the patronsof the Library, and prove a valuable helpto the devoted and energetic committeewhich controls the Library.
