NEWSPAPER DIRECTORY.—We
have just received a copy of McKim's
Canadian Newspaper Directory end
within its covers much valuable in-
fcrmation is contained, A census of
the newspapers listed and described
in the 1915 Directory shows nearly
150 Dailies 7 tri -Weeklies, .45 .emi-
Weeklies over 1065 Weeklies, about
40 bi-weeklies or semi -Monthlies, 250
elonthlies 3 bi-Monthlies arid 18
Quarterlies—a total of over 1575 pub-
lications. This means approximately
one Daily to every 10,000 families, and
one Weekly to every 1,500 families.
Fron. this one would infer that for a
comparatively new country, Canada is
well-read.
