...collection during the past week hopes that the books will continue to come in, as they will be needed as long as the war lasts, and the supply must be constantly replenished. All collection stations will be kept open indefinitely and the public is urged to form the habit of turning in their new books as soon as they have read them. More than a half-million volumes are needed at once in France and space has already been reserved in transports and freighters to send over thousands of books to Europe every month...

The people concerned do not always see the connection between the change which is required of them and the winning of the war. Therefore they are sometimes impatient of the necessary discipline or restraint. Again, this redirection...
