No doubt the Catholic Congress will have something to say in expressing the convictions of the laity concerning the spread of good literature; and it might not be out of place to mention the utility of preparing suitable lists of the best books, to be circulated through some central organization. When a publisher displays enterprise in getting out a fine book or when an author displays genius in writing one, Catholic reading should make a prompt response and show that such efforts are fully appreciated. This is one of the most obvious results which will be produced by an organization such as the Columbian Reading Mission. A bond of contact may thus be established among reading circles, libraries and individual scholars, and demands may be formulated to increase the supply of good books by Catholic writers. Father McMillan hopes this matter will not be overlooked, feeling as he does very keenly that there is a need for a movement of this kind. :: III-3-c A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
