A.  L.  A.  CONFERENCE— 1922 


DETROIT,    MICHIGAN,  JUNE   26-JULY   1 

The  FOBTY-FOURTH  ANNUAL  CONFERENCE 
of  the  American  Library  Association  will  be 
held  at  the  Hotel  Statler,  Detroit,  Michi- 
gan, June  26-July  1,  1922. 

The  tentative  plans  provide  for  a  gen- 
eral session  on  Monday  evening,  June  26. 
Other  general  sessions  will  probably  be 
held  on  the  mornings  of  Tuesday,  Wednes- 
day, Friday  and  Saturday.  Thursday  is  to 
be  a  day  of  recreation  but  those  who  wish 
to  make  the  most  of  their  time  will  find  on 
that  day  many  opportunities  for  library 
visiting  and  for  serious  private  confer- 
ences. 

A  special  train  will  probably  be  run  from 
Detroit  to  Ann  Arbor,  leaving  Detroit  be- 
tween ten. and  eleven  in  the  morning  and 
reaching  Ann  Arbor  an  hour  later,  in  time 
for  an  early  lunch  at  the  University  Union 
on  the  campus.  The  luncheon  will  prob- 
ably be  followed  by  one  or  two  talks  by 
representatives  of  the  University  and  after 
that  the  A.  L.  A.  delegates  will  be  at  lib- 
erty to  visit  the  library  of  the  University 
in  its  new  building  or  to  roam  about  the 
campus  at  their  leisure.  The  return  trip 
will  probably  start  about  four  thirty. 

Thursday  evening  is  tentatively  set  aside 
for  the  groups  which  wish  to  arrange  for 
dinner  meetings — library  schools  and  oth- 
ers. Any  groups  which  wish  to  hold  meet- 
ings without  dinner  on  that  evening  can 


probably  be  provided  for  in  meeting  rooms 
outside  the  Statler  Hotel. 

A  boat  ride  on  the  Detroit  River  and 
Lake  St.  Clair  is  tentatively  scheduled 
for  Friday  evening  at  eight.  The  'boat  used 
will  probably  be  a  large  ferry  boat  capable 
of  accommodating  two  thousand  people. 
Assuming  that  somewhere  between  a  thou- 
sand and  fifteen  hundred  people  are  in  our 
party,  there  will  be  ample  room  for  danc- 
ing or  one-act  plays  or  any  other  enter- 
tainment which  the  local  or  entertainment 
committees  may  see  fit  to  provide. 

The  afternoons  of  Tuesday,  Wednesday, 
Friday  and  Saturday  and  the  evenings  of 
Tuesday,  Wednesday  and  Saturday  are 
available  for  meetings  of  affiliated  soci- 
eties, sections  and  other  groups. 

Most  of  the  meetings,  general  sessions 
and  others,  can  be  held  on  the  mezzanine 
floor  of  the  Hotel  Statler,  which  is  given 
over  almost  entirely  to  the  ball  room,  ban- 
quet halls  and  private  dining  rooms.  There 
is  ample  room  on  this  floor  also  for  a  reg- 
istration desk  and  for  the  official  exhibits. 
Arrangements  are  being  made  for  commer- 
cial exhibits  in  sample  rooms  on  the  thir- 
teenth or  fourteenth  floors.  Commercial 
exhibitors  should  write  to  the  manager  of 
the  Hotel  Statler  and  make  arrangements 
for  desired  space.  Committees  of  the 
A.  L.  A.  or  affiliated  groups  desiring  to 
make  official  exhibits  should  communicate 


with  the  secretary  of  the  A.  L:  A.  until 
some  member  of  the  local  committee  has 
been  designated  to  have  charge  of  the  ex- 
hibits. 

In  the  vicinity  of  the  Hotel  Statler  are 
numerous  other  hotels  and  it  will  be  pos- 
sible for  persons  attending  the  conference 
to  find  the  accommodations  they  want,  pro- 
vided the  reservations  are  made  well  in 
advance.  A  list  of  some  of  the  hotels  with 
rates  follows  and  reservations  may  be  made 
at  once.  We  are  asking  the  hotels  to  con- 
sider reservations  received  before  Febru- 
ary fifteenth  as  arriving  on  the  fifteenth. 
Although  several  hundred  rooms  have 
been  tentatively  set  aside  for  members  of 
the  American  Library  Association,  it  is 
very  important  that  the  people  who  are 
expecting  to  attend  this  conference  make 
their  reservations  several  weeks  or,  per- 
haps, several  months  in  advance,  in  order 
that  the  Statler  and  other  hotels  near  by 
may  make  their  plans  to  accommodate  as 
many  as  possible  of  our  delegates. 

Reservations  of  rooms  should  be  made 
directly  with  the  hotel  in  which  you  wish 
to  stay.  If  the  hotel  cannot  give  you  what 
you  ask  for,  the  letter  will  be  referred  to 
the  local  committee  of  which  Adam 
Strohm,  of  the  Detroit  Public  Library,  is 
secretary.

CHICAGO  MID-WINTER  MEETINGS 


The  Mid-Winter  Library  Meetings  at 
the  Hotel  Sherman,  Chicago,  Illinois,  were 
attended  by  275  persons. 

The  A.  L.  A.  Council  held  three  ses- 
sions; the  League  of  Library  Commissions, 
two  sessions;  the  Bibliographical  Society 
of  America,  one  session;  there  were  also 
meetings  of  the  Executive  Board,  the  Edi- 
torial Committee,  the  Committee  on  Edu- 
cation and  informal  conferences  of  uni- 
versity librarians,  college  librarians  and 
normal  school  librarians. 

COUNCIL    MEETINGS 

December  29-30,  1921 

First  Session 

A  meeting  of  the  American  Library  As- 
sociation was  held  in  the  Hotel  Sherman, 
Chicago,  Illinois,  Thursday,  December  29, 
1921,  10  a.  m. 
Azariah  S.  Root,  President,   presided. 

State  Chapters 

A  committee  consisting  of  Edward  D. 
Tweedell,  Carl  B.  Roden  and  George  B. 
Utley  reported  that  the  applications  for 
chapter  affiliation  had  been  examined  and 
recommended  that  the  following  state  li- 
brary associations  be  formally  affiliated 
with  the  A.  L.  A.  as  state  chapters: 

Colorado  Library  Association. 

Connecticut  Library  Association. 


Illinois  Library  Association. 
Indiana   Library  Association. 
Indiana  Library  Trustees  Association. 
Iowa  Library  Association. 
Kansas   Library  Association. 
Maine  Library  Association. 
Michigan  Library  Association. 
Minnesota   Library    Association. 
Montana  Library  Association. 
Nebraska  Library  Association. 
New  Hampshire  Library  Association. 
North  Carolina  Library  Association. 
Ohio  Library  Association. 
Pacific    Northwest    Library    Association. 
Pennsylvania,    Keystone    State    Library 
Association. 

South  Dakota  Library  Association. 

The  committee  suggested  that  the 
phrase  "Chapter  of  the  American  Library 
Association"  be  used  following  the  name 
,of  the  state  association  on  letterheads 
and  other  printed  material. 

Henry  N.  Sanborn  stated  that  it  had 
not  been  the  intention  of  the  Committee 
on  Constitution  and  By-Laws  to  make  pos- 
sible the  establishment  of  two  chapters 
in  one  state.  Mr.  Tweedell  answered  that 
the  constitution  and  by-laws  do  not  seem 
to  prohibit  the  establishment  of  two  chap- 
ters in  one  state. 

It  was 

Toted,  That  the  report  of  the  committee 
be  approved  and  the  chapters  be  estab- 
lished as  recommended. 


BULLETIN 


Library    Revenue* 

Samuel  H.  Ranck,  as  chairman  of  the 
Council  Committee  on  this  subject  pre- 
sented the  following  resolution: 

The  American  Library  Association  de- 
clares that  $1  per  capita,  of  the  popula- 
tion of  the  community  served,  Is  a  rea- 
sonable minimum  revenue  for  the  library 
in  communities  desiring  to  maintain  a 
good  modern  public  library  with  trained 
librarians.  This  sum  should  cover  a 
main  library  with  reading  room  facilities, 
branch  libraries  and  reading  rooms  within 
easy  reach  of  all  the  people  in  the  larger 
communities,  a  registration  of  card  hold- 
ers equal  to  thirty  per  cent  of  the  popu- 
lation, and  a  considerable  collection  of 
the  more  expensive  books  of  reference, 
with  a  home  use  of  about  five  volumes 
per  capita.  Communities  desiring  their 
libraries  to  supply  these  needs  exten- 
sively, will  need  to  provide  support  be- 
yond the  minimum  of  $1  per  capita,  and 
for  the  highest  grade  of  service  $2  per 
capita  would  be  a  reasonable  sum.  This 
would  include  extension  work  sufficient  to 
bring  home  to  the  children,  the  foreign 
speaking  people,  business  men,  artisans, 
advanced  students,  public  officials,  and  in 
general  all  classes  of  the  people,  the  op- 
portunities that  such  a  library  Is  not  only 
ready  but  is  able  to  afford,  with  a  serv- 
ice that  is  administered  by  trained  libra- 
rians having  special  knowledge  in  their 
particular  departments.  Such  a  service 
should  lead  to  a  registration  of  card  hold- 
ers equal  to  fifty  per  cent  of  the  popula- 
tion and  a  reading  room  attendance  equal 
to  or  greater  than  the  number  of  books 
issued  for  home  use. 

The  Committee  recommends  that  fur- 
ther study  be  given  to  the  whole  subject 
of  adequate  support  for  high  school  and 
grade  school  libraries,  and  for  college  and 
university  libraries,  to  be  based  on  a 
knowledge  of  the  existing  situation  with 
reference  to  such  libraries. 

JUIJA  A.  ROBINSON:  I  wish  that  the  reso- 
lution recognized  the  fact  that  the  smaller 
communities  need  a  larger  per  capita  in- 
come than  the  larger  communities. 

C.  W.  ANDREWS:  I  cannot  believe  that 
New  York  needs  an  income  of  nine  mil- 
lion dollars  a  year  to  do  its  work. 

Mr.  RANCK:  Some  of  the  cities  do  not 
have  the  necessary  service.  I  think  we 
ought  to  stand  for  more  service  in  the 
large  cities  than  is  now  given. 

E.  H.  Anderson  said  that  the  situation 
was  much  complicated  in  New  York  be- 
cause the  Reference  Department  of  the 


New  York  Public  Library  is  not  main- 
tained by  the  city  and  because  there  are 
many  other  libraries  in  the  city. 

W.  W.  BISHOP:  All  of  us  have  been  asked 
to  give  out  statements  of  what  is  a  reason- 
able amount  to  maintain  a  library  or  a 
department  in  a  library.  One  of  the  dif- 
ficulties under  which  we  are  laboring  is 
the  absence  of  any  statement  by  an  author- 
itative body. 

E.  C.  Richardson  spoke  in  approval  of 
the  resolution  and  expressed  the  hope  that 
the  committee  would  continue  its  inves- 
tigation in  the  field  of  college  and  univer- 
sity library  expenditures. 

Mary  E.  Downey  urged  state  support 
and  the  development  of  a  sentiment  for 
equal  library  privileges  for  everybody. 

M.  S.  Dudgeon,  George  H.  Locke,  Wil- 
liam R.  Watson,  Henry  N.  Sanborn,  George 
T.  Settle  and  Joseph  L.  Wheeler  took  part 
in  the  discussion. 

At  the  suggestion  of  Mr.  Ranck  the  mat- 
ter was  referred  back  to  the  committee 
in  order  that  some  of  the  suggestions 
might  be  Incorporated  in  the  resolution. 
(See  page  11.) 

The  Secretary  read  a  letter  from  the 
National  Association  of  Book  Publishers 
on  the  subject  of  book  buying  funds  of 
American  libraries. 

Copyright  Legislation 
M.  L.  Raney,  chairman  of  the  Book  Buy- 
ing Committee,  presented  a  detailed  re- 
view of  American  Copyright  Legislation, 
concluding  with  specific  resolutions.  The 
following  is  a  summary  prepared  by  Dr. 
Raney. 

In  America  copyright  legislation  is 
older  than  the  Republic.  It  is  specifically 
authorized  in  the  federal  Constitution  of 
1787,  as  follows: 

"ART.  I,  SEC.  8 — The  Congress  shall 
have  power:  To  promote  the  progress  of 
science  and  useful  arts,  by  securing,  for 
limited  times,  to  authors  and  inventors, 
the  exclusive  right  to  their  respective  writ- 
ings and  discoveries." 

Before  that,  all  of  the  thirteen  original 
States,  except  Delaware,  had  enacted  a 
copyright  law,  between  1783  and  1786.  Since 
then  there  has  been  a  steady  stream  of 
bills  and  acts,  from  the  First  Congress 


AMERICAN    LIBRARY    ASSOCIATION 


down.  Their  scope  has  ever  broadened 
and  the  author  been  more  and  more 
fortified  in  his  right. 

Yet  there  remains  a  question,  and  a 
grave  one,  for  it  involves  the  nation's  good 
name.  We  have  protected  our  own  writ- 
ers, but  have  been  slow  to  recognize  the 
foreigner.  For  a  century,  he  could  not 
secure  United  States  copyright  at  all,  un- 
less he  came  here  to  reside.  Even  now 
there  are  such  barriers  that  it  is  rarely 
sought.  Under  this  stigma,  high-minded 
men  in  and  out  of  Congress  have  always 
smarted,  and  from  Henry  Clay  to  Grover 
Cleveland  diligently  sought  its  effacement. 
More  than  a  half  century,  however,  had 
to  pass  before  the  scoring  of  even  partial 
success. 

It  was  always  the  printers  who  blocked 
the  way. 

At  length  in  1891,  a  so-called  Interna- 
tional Copyright  Act  did  pass,  but,  while 
ostensibly  removing  the  restrictions 
against  foreigners,  it  provided  that  the 
typesetting  and  lithography  must  be  done 
in  the  United  States.  And  in  the  revision 
of  1909  the  same  manufacturing  clause, 
with  binding  added,  was  retained,  except 
that  books  in  languages  other  than  Eng- 
lish were  exempted.  This  discrimination 
bars  143  from  the  International  Copyright 
Union,  founded  at  Berne  in  1886.  Its 
basic  principle  is  that  a  single  grant  of 
copyright  has  validity,  without  further 
formality,  throughout  the  Union. 

But  a  new  situation  has  now  arisen. 
Since  less  than  one  per  cent  of  the  Eng- 
lish books  published  are  also  copyrighted 
in  the  United  States,  the  Typothetae  have 
announced  their  consent  to  the  repeal  of 
the  obnoxious  clause  (though  at  the  same 
time  they  demand  a  higher  tariff). 

The  Authors'  League  of  America  set  at 
once  about  preparing  the  necessary  amend- 
ments for  clearing  the  way  to  Berne.  But 
at  the  moment  of  consummation  the  pub- 
lishers passed  official  resolutions  that  their 
approval  would  be  given  only  on  condi- 
tion, 

"That  during  the  existence  of  the  Ameri- 
can copyright  in  any  book,  work  of  art, 
or  musical  composition,  the  importation 
into  the  United  States  shall  be  prohibited, 
unless  such  importation  is  made  with  the 


consent  of  the  proprietor  of  the  American 
copyright." 

Since  then  their  position  has  been 
somewhat  modified,  according  to  Mr.  R. 
R.  Bowker,  who  reports  now  their  will- 
ingness to  have  institutions  and  individ- 
uals import,  for  use  and  not  for  sale,  sin- 
gle copies  of 

"any  book  as  published  in  the  country 
of  origin  with  the  authorization  of  the 
author,  or  copyright  proprietor  .  .  .pro- 
vided the  publisher  of  the  American  edi- 
tion of  such  book  has  (within  ten  days 
after  written  demand)  declined  or  ne- 
glected to  agree  to  supply  such  copy." 

The  effect  of  either  text  would  be  that 
the  order  for  such  a  book  must  be  given 
to  the  American  publisher.  To  qualify  as 
American  publisher  he  need  not  have  had 
the  remotest  connection  with  the  actual 
issue  of  the  work.  He  may  merely  en- 
gage a  territory,  then  register  and  deposit 
a  copy  in  Washington.  In  such  instance 
he  is  in  reality  only  a  jobber,  but  one  with 
a  monopoly,  and  the  libraries  must  pay 
"his  price. 

What  that  price  (sans  competition) 
might  be,  past  experience  has  taught  us 
only  too  well,  since,  despite  the  fair 
charges  of  many  dealers  for  their  English 
stocks,  certain  important  international 
publishers  (rnaugre  competition)  have 
been  found  to  list  such  books  of  theirs  at 
prices  60°/°  to  165°/°  advance  over  Lon- 
don's. How  many  of  these  contracts  be- 
tween European  publishers  and  American 
dealers  would  be  struck,  one  person's 
guess  is  as  good  as  another's.  So  far  as 
the  proposed  law  is  concerned,  all  foreign 
publications  might  be  so  handled.  Cer- 
tainly the  books  of  assured  sale  would  be 
shining  marks  for  profiteering,  because  of 
the  depreciation  of  foreign  currency. 

This  is  not  the  publishers'  first  attempt. 
They  tried  it  in  1909.  A  strenuous  cam- 
paign, in  Congressional  hearings  and  out, 
was  conducted  for  five  years,  but  they  lost. 
In  1891,  they  came  near  taking  the  libra- 
ries in  their  sleep,  and  might  have  suc- 
ceeded but  for  the  Senate's  timely  awaken- 
ing. Senator  Sherman  sounded  the  alarm 
in  a  speech  delivered  February  9,  and 
others  followed,  with  the  result  that  when 
:he  bill  came  to  conference  March  3,  it  was 


BULLETIN 


amended   so  as   to   insure  to  libraries  the 
continuance  of  unhampered  importation. 

The  publishers'  account  of  this  momen-- 
tous  decision  is  that  thereby  the  United 
States  swerved  from  its  own,  and  the 
world's,  consistent  copyright  practice;  that 
Congress,  while  then  granting  the  right 
as  usual,  introduced  at  the  same  time 
such  exceptions  as  to  vitiate  its  value  and 
so  to  violate  its  principle.  This  calls  for 
an  examination  of  (1)  American  practice, 
(2)  European  practice,  (3)  the  nature  of 
copyright. 

American  Practice 

Prior  to  1891,  our  enactments,  in  the 
respect  here  considered,  all  followed  that 
of  1790.  The  ultimate  bill  whence  sprang 
this  Act  was  introduced  by  a  Representa- 
tive from  Connecticut.  Connecticut  was 
the  first  of  the  original  States  to  legislate 
on  copyright.  Here  is  the  way  this  parent 
Act  of  January  1783  defined  infringement: 

"If  any  person  or  persons  within  the 
said  term  of  fourteen  years  as  aforesaid, 
shall  presume  to  print  or  reprint  any  such 
book,  pamphlet,  map,  or  chart  within  this 
State,  or  to  import  or  introduce  into  this 
State  for  sale,  any  copies  thereof,  re- 
printed beyond  the  limits  of  this  State, 
01  shall  knowingly  publish,  vend  and  ut- 
ter, or  distribute  the  same  without  the  con- 
sent of  the  proprietor  thereof  in  writing, 
signed  in  the  presence  of  two  credible  wit- 
nesses, every  such  person  or  persons  shall 
forfeit"  etc. 

The  prohibition  is  against  importation 
for  sale.  Similarly  spoke  eight  more  of 
the  twelve  colonies  legislating. 

Of  the  other  three,  the  Maryland  Act  of 
April  21,  1783  is  typical: 

"If  any  other  person  .  .  .  shall  print, 
reprint,  import  or  bring  into  the  State,  or 
cause  to  be  printed,  reprinted,  imported  or 
brought  into  the  State,  any  such  book 
.  .  .  without  the  consent  of  the  proprietor 
.  .  .  or  knowing  the  same  to  be  so 
printed,  reprinted,  imported  or  brought 
into  the  State,  without  the  consent  of  the 
proprietors,  shall  sell,  publish,  or  expose 
to  sale,  any  such  book  .  .  .  without  .  .  . 
consent  .  .  .  such  offender  .  .  .  shall 
forfeit"  etc. 

The  first  Federal  Act,  May  31,  1790,  fol- 
lows the  second  or  more  general  form.  In 
all  cases,  it  is  to  be  remembered,  these 
pronouncements  concern  only  works  by 
authors  resident  in  the  United  States. 


Now  that  the  Connecticut  and  Maryland 
forms  were  not  regarded  by  Congress  as 
contradictory  is  clearly  indicated  in  the 
text  of  the  second  Federal  Act  on  copy- 
right, April  29,  1802,  supplementary  to  the 
first,  "and  extending  the  benefits  thereof  to 
the  arts  of  designing,  engraving,  and  etch- 
ing historical  and  other  prints,"  as  stated 
in  the  title.  Now  these  benefits  are  se- 
cured by  calling  it  an  infringement 

"if  any  print-seller  or  other  person  .  .  . 
shall  engrave,  etch  or  work  ...  or  copy 
or  sell,  or  cause  to  be  engraved,  etched, 
copied  or  sold  ...  or  shall  print,  re- 
print, or  import  for  sale,  or  cause  to  be 
printed,  reprinted,  or  imported  for  sale, 
any  such  print  .  .  .  without  .  .  .  con- 
sent" etc. 

The  founders  of  American  practice  for- 
bade the  importation  of  an  American 
author's  book,  if  for  sale,  and  freely  al- 
lowed the  importation  of  a  foreign  au- 
thor's works  (unless  here  resident),  even 
going  so  far  as  to  deny  him  copyright. 
By  implication,  they  allowed  importation 
of  any  book,  if  for  use,  but  this  has  never 
been  tested  in  court. 

Foreign  Practice 

Nor  abroad  does  this  point  appear  ever 
to  have  been  under  judicial  review,  accord- 
ing to  the  statement  of  foreign  statute  law 
(and  commentaries)  presented  by  request 
at  the  joint  session  of  the  Senate  and 
House  Committees  on  Patents,  March  29, 
1908,  by  the  Librarian  of  Congress. 

The  British  law  of  1911  provides  that 

"Copyright  in  a  work  shall  also  be 
deemed  to  be  infringed  by  any  person 
who  .  .  .  (d)  imports  for  sale  or  Jiire 
into  any  part  of  His  Majesty's  dominions 
to  which  this  Act  extends,  any  work  which 
to  his  knowledge  infringes  copyright  or 
would  infringe  copyright  if  it  had  been 
made  in  His  Majesty's  dominions." 

If  it  be  claimed  that  this  is  not  specific, 
we  then  must  fall  back  upon  the  Acts  of 
1842  and  1844.  The  former  prohibited  im- 
portation for  sale  or  hire  of  foreign  re- 
prints of  British  works.  The  latter  (not 
repealing  this)  prohibited  all  importation 
save  from  country  of  origin.  In  both  in- 
stances, of  course,  we  are  here  dealing  with 
prints  authorized,  but  imported  without 
consent.  These  Acts  came  to  court  in 
1896,  and  while  importation  of  foreign 


AMERICAN    LIBRARY    ASSOCIATION 


books  /or  use  was  not  in  issue,  it  was  re- 
marked upon  and  apparently  by  all  four 
judges  in  the  two  courts  regarded  as  Im- 
plicit in  both  Acts. 

Canada  allows  libraries  etc.  to  import 
the  English  original.  The  individual  must 
get  his  through  the  Canadian  licensee, 
who,  however,  must  charge  at  the  English 
price. 

Belgium  penalizes  only  the  importation 
of  the  illicit  edition  for  a  commercial  pur- 
pose, not  one  for  private  use. 

So  Germany,  by  the  law  of  1870,  though 
the  present  statutes  omit  the  limitation. 
The  best  commentators,  however,  regard 
the  privilege  as  still  existent. 

The  law  of  other  countries  is  not  ex- 
plicit, and  the  authorities  are,  accordingly, 
divided,  or  uncertain. 

For  us,  British  practice  outweighs  all 
else.  As  to  whether  an  Englishman  can 
import  an  American  author's  book  copy- 
righted on  both  sides,  here  is  the  opinion 
of  the  long-time  Secretary  of  the  English 
Author's  League: 

"In  answer  to  your  questions,  there  is 
nothing  whatever,  so  far  as  I  can  see,  to 
prevent  the  importation  into  England  of 
copies  of  the  American  edition,  whatever 
price  the  American  edition  may  have  been 
published  at.  ...  The  remedy  would 
be,  of  course,  a  remedy  under  the  contract 
in  the  courts,  and  not  under  any  statute." 

The  Nature  of  Copyright 
Copyright  is  not  an  inherent,  but  a  con- 
ferred right.  Its  terms  are  fixed  by  the 
law.  There  are  other  rights,  with  which 
it  must  dovetail.  Its  boundaries  are  sub- 
ject to  adjustment  from  time  to  time,  from 
country  to  country.  The  Legislature  may 
restrict  in  any  direction.  The  restriction, 
if  placed,  is  imposed  with  the  Idea  of  a 
larger  good  to  be  gained.  The  assign,  the 
publisher,  buys  the  author's  product  with 
full  knowledge  of  these  restrictions,  and 
barters  accordingly. 

Copyright,  as  any  other  investiture,  has 
a  purpose.  That  purpose,  in  the  words  of 
the  Constitution  is  "to  promote  the  prog- 
ress of  science  and  useful  arts."  To  such 
promotion,  the  restriction  on  the  right  may 
be  as.  potent  as  the  exercise  of  its  residue. 
Thus,  Congress  has  never  allowed  Ameri- 
can publishers  to  corner  European  publica- 
tions as  against  educational  foundations, 


though  to  the  author,  whom  alone  the  Con- 
stitution would  reward,  such  importation 
is  not  a  lost  sale,  and,  since  for  use,  it 
breaks  no  seller's  sealed  area.  Similarly, 
when  Education  returns  to  port,  no  duty 
is  laid;  at  home,  her  domicile  is  free  of 
tax.  She  comes  to  the  author's  market 
and  pays  his  price,  but  she  will  not  pay 
a  publisher-jobber,  no  matter  what  his 
livery,  for  admittance  at  her  own  gates. 
We  offer,  therefore,  the  following 

Resolutions 

Whereas,  The  Authors'  League  of  Amer- 
ica proposes  national  legislation,  includ- 
ing repeal  of  the  so-called  "manufactur- 
ing clause"  in  the  present  copyright  law, 
in  order  to  pave  the  way  for  the  United 
States'  entry  Into  the  International  Copy- 
right Union;  and 

Whereas,  The  American  Publishers' 
Copyright  League  (now  the  Bureau  of 
Copyright  of  the  National  Association  of 
Book  Publishers)  went  on  official  record 
at  its  last  session  as  supporting  such  leg- 
islation only  on  condition  that  libraries 
and  persons  be  prohibited  by  law  from  im- 
porting the  foreign  (tho  authorized)  edi- 
tions of  works  copyrighted  also  in  the 
United  States,  except  by  permission  of 
the  American  copyright  owners; 

Be  it  resolved,  That  the  Council  of  the 
American  Library  Association  records  its 
pleasure  at  the  prospect  of  authors'  se- 
curing, without  expense  or  formality,  the 
international  protection  that  is  their  ad- 
mitted right; 

Resolved,  further,  That  the  Council  re- 
affirm, however,  the  Association's  wonted 
disapproval  of  any  measure  that  would 
curtail  or  cancel  the  existing  privileges 
of  importation,  supported,  as  they  are,  by 
American  precedent  and  violative  neither 
of  the  Federal  Constitution  nor  of  for- 
eign practice; 

Resolved,  That  the  Committee  on  Book 
Buying  and  that  on  Federal  and  State  Re- 
lations be  and  are  hereby  instructed  to 
take  every  proper  and  feasible  measure 
toward  rendering  these  resolutions  as  ef- 
fective as  possible. 

The  meeting  adjourned. 

SECOND   SESSION 

The    Second   Session  was   held   in    the 
Hotel    Sherman    at    2:30    p.m.,    December 
29,   1921,   President  Root  presiding. 
Copyright   Law 

The  president  announced  that  the  dis- 
cussion of  the  copyright  law  would  be  con- 
tinued. 


BULLETIN 


Frederic  G.  Melcher  spoke  in  part,  as 
follows: 

The  bill  to  amend  the  American  copy- 
right law,  which  is  to  be  presented  to 
Congress  in  January,  has  the  approval  of 
the  authors,  the  printers,  the  publishers, 
and  of  independent  authorities  on  copy- 
right. It  has  not  been  agreed  upon  by  rea- 
son of  any  "bargain  driven,"  (but  because 
they  believe  in  its  soundness  and  justice. 
It  has  had  the  advantage  in  its  drafting  of 
the  wisdom  and  experience  of  Eric  Schuler, 
Secretary  of  the  Authors'  League,  of  R.  R. 
Bowker,  the  deepest  student  of  copyright 
in  this  country,  of  George  Haven  Putnam, 
Secretary  of  the  Bureau  of  Copyright,  of 
Thorvald  Solberg,  Register  of  Copyright 
a'!  Washington. 

Except  as  to  one  feature,  it  seems  to 
have  the  approval  of  those  librarians  who 
have  studied  it,  and,  as  this  feature  has 
already  had  the  approval  of  Dr.  Rothlis- 
berger  of  Berne,  the  leading  authority  in 
the  world  on  copyright,  it  may  be  assumed 
that  it  is  not  out  of  accord  with  good  prin- 
ciples of  copyright  and  of  abstract  jus- 
tice. 

The  bill  provides  that  copyright  pro- 
tection in  the  United  States  shall  be 
granted  to  authors  of  all  countries  within 
the  Berne  Convention  from  the  moment 
their  books  are  published  in  their  own 
countries.  American  'books  must  be  de- 
posited and  registered  at  Washington 
after  publication,  and  books  from  foreign 
countries  do  not  have  to  be  deposited.  If 
any  American  house  arranges  to  publish 
in  this  country  a  book  of  foreign  origin, 
he  deposits  and  registers  as  for  an  Ameri- 
can book.  Foreign  editions  of  books  by 
American  authors  can  only  be  brought 
into  this  country  with  the  consent  of 
the  American  owner  of  copyright.  Books 
of  foreign  authorship  for  which  there  is 
an  American  publisher  can  only  be 
brought  in  by  library  or  by  individual 
through  the  agency  of  the  owner  of  the 
American  copyright,  though  probably 
ninety  per  cent  of  the  books  of  foreign 
origin  are  never  published  in  this  coun- 
try and  would  be  ordered  direct. 

The  libraries  have  not  objected  to  the 
provision  that  keeps  foreign  editions  of 


the  six  or  seven  thousand  American  books 
completely  out  of  this  market,  but  object 
only  to  the  provision  which,  while  not 
keeping  out  the  competitive  editions  of 
the  six  or  seven  hundred  English  books 
for  which  American  market  has  been  ar- 
ranged, does  make  it  necessary  to  order 
these  through  the  American  publisher  who 
has  contracted  for  this  market.  The  au- 
thors believe  that  such  provision  is  just, 
as  it  is  decidedly  to  their  advantage  to  be 
able  to  sell  their  rights  territorially  di- 
vided just  as  they  have  the  right  to  sell 
dramatic,  movie  and  serial  rights  sep- 
arately; the  printers  think  this  provision 
just,  because  they  are  foregoing  a  good 
deal  in  withdrawing  their  opposition  to 
the  manufacturing  clause,  and  tariff  gives 
them  no  protection  in  the  case  of  libra- 
ries; the  American  publishers  believe  it 
just,  because,  having  undertaken  by  con- 
tract with  the  foreign  authors  to  promote 
their  books  here,  and  having  invested  time 
and  money  to  do  their  part,  they  believe 
they  should  have  the  full  responsibility 
for  the  field,  or  at  least  have  the  courtesy 
of  having  their  very  obvious  property 
rights  admitted  by  having  orders  for  the 
foreign  editions  placed  through  their 
houses.  It  seems  equally  probable  that  the 
American  public  will  gain  by  such  a  policy, 
as  the  book  of  foreign  origin,  English, 
Canadian,  Continental  or  what  not,  which 
has  a  real  value  will  get  a  better  hearing 
in  this  country  backed  by  an  American 
publisher  who  has  been  able  to  contract 
for  the  same  full  American  rights  as  he 
would  be  able  to  get  for  a  book  of  Ameri- 
can authorship. 

Dr.  Raney  has  said  that  this  measure  is 
"a  distinctly  selfish  proposal,"  that  "the 
publisher  is  trying  to  reap  where  he  has 
not  sown,"  and  yet  the  most  competent 
and  unbiased  of  all  authorities  on  copy- 
right, Dr.  Rothlisberger,  Secretary  of  the 
Berne  Convention,  said  in  November,  as 
was  indicated  above: 

"When  an  American  publisher  becomes 
owner  of  the  copyright  (under  the  present 
American  law)  he  does  not  in  consequence 
possess  an  exclusive  right  to  the  home 
market.  But  importations  can  be  made 
behind  his  back  and  against  his  wishes 
of  copies  of  the  European  edition.

AMERICAN    LIBRARY    ASSOCIATION 


"Now,  the  American  publishers  who 
have  been  complaining  for  a  long  time  of 
these  importation  privileges  have  no  inten- 
tion of  asking  that  there  be  an  absolute 
stop  put  to  them,  if  anyone  wants  to  own 
the  overseas  editions  rather  than  theirs, 
but  they  realize  that  they  should  have  con- 
trol of  this  traffic  and  that  it  should  pass 
through  their  hands.  In  this  they  do  not 
feel  they  are  demanding  anything  unfair  or 
unreasonable,  since  the  English  publish- 
ers having  the  rights  to  a  work  are  in- 
vested with  the  exclusive  right  to  that 
publication  in  their  own  territory  and  can 
also  prevent  the  entrance  into  their  coun- 
try of  foreign  editions  of  the  work,  for 
instance,  continental  editions  of  Tauchnitz. 

"The  claim  of  the  American  publishers 
amounts  to  this,  that  they  demand  the  ef- 
fective exercise  of  'the  right  of  publica- 
tion territorially  shared.'  We  have  sug- 
gested the  same  solution  to  the  Canadian 
legislature  in  our  comment  on  the  new 
Canadian  law,  as  the  best  means  of  safe- 
guarding the  Colonial  edition  against  the 
importation  of  concurrent  editions,  and 
what  would  be  just  in  this  case  must  be 
conceded  equally  when  it  is  a  matter  of 
the  American  publishers,  namely,  the  su- 
pervision by  them  of  their  own  market 
whenever  they  have  obtained  from  the 
author  the  right  to  publish  an  edition  from 
overseas." 

The  following  communication  from  R.  R. 
Bowker  was  read: 

I  regret  that  I  may  not  be  present  at 
the  Council  meeting  to  throw  any  light 
that  I  can  on  the  proposed  measure  to  per- 
mit entrance  of  our  country  into  the  Inter- 
rational  Copyright  Union.  For  more  than 
thirty  years  I  have  tried  to  do  my  part  to 
bring  about  this  result,  but  it  has  been 
possible  to  do  only  partial  justice  to  for- 
eign authors  so  long  as  the  typographers 
insisted  on  "the  manufacturing  clause."  The 
International  Typographical  Union  has 
now  withdrawn  objection  to  its  repeal,  but 
success  is  not  possible  unless  others  spe- 
cially concerned  are  willing  to  waive  sim- 
ilar "reservations." 

The  present  more  serious  contention  is 
between  the  two  classes  of  publishers  and 
librarians.  Publishers  point  out  that  they 
cannot  negotiate  "for  the  American  mar- 
ket" unless  they  can  make  fair  estimate  of 
the  number  demanded,  which,  in  the  case 
of  certain  classes  of  books,  may  be  largely 


a  library  demand,  and  that  under  the  ac- 
cepted theory  that  copyright  can  be  sold 
for  a  specified  territory,  as  well  as  for  a 
specified  time  or  specified  use,  they  may 
Justly  claim  the  exclusive  right  to  import 
books  for  which  they  arrange  with  the 
foreign  author  either  directly  or  through 
his  original  publishing  representative 
abroad.  This  view  is  supported  by  most 
of  the  copyright  authorities,  notably  by 
Prof.  Rothlisberger,  director  of  the  Inter- 
national Copyright  Union,  and  Justice 
Lindley  in  the  leading  English  case,  deal- 
ing directly  with  books  imported  for  sale, 
pointed  out  that  the  exclusive  right  of  im- 
portation is  most  in  accordance  with  legal 
principles  and  good  sense,  and  that  pro- 
tection by  covenant  with  the  original  pro- 
prietor is  by  no  means  adequate.  The 
British  practice  absolutely  consigns  to  "the 
King's  tobacco  pipe"  works  published  in 
the  Tauchnitz  edition,  though  these  are 
not  piratical  but  reprinted  by  arrangement 
in  Germany,  and  I  recall  from  rny  London 
experience  obtaining  written  consent  from 
English  authors  for  the  importation  for 
their  own  use  of  American  reprints, 
though  in  those  days  these  were  piratical. 
It  Is  naturally  pointed  out  on  behalf  of 
librarians  that  the  present  privilege  of  im- 
portation under  the  Copyright  Act  recog- 
nizes the  right  of  the  foreign  author,  and 
by  prohibiting  importation  of  piratical 
copies  incidentally  protects  his  pecuniary 
rights. 

The  substitute  for  the  present  impor- 
tation clause  permits  copies  of  a  foreign 
work,  copyrighted  without  formalities  un- 
der the  terms  of  the  International  Copy- 
right Union,  to  be  imported  without  ques- 
tion until  American  publication  is  regis- 
tered and  copies  deposited  here,  after 
•which  a  library  or  an  individual  may  im- 
port for  use  and  not  for  sale,  provided  the 
American  publisher  within  ten  days  after 
written  demand  declines  or  neglects  to 
agree  to  supply  the  copy  of  the  original 
edition  demanded.  The  period  of  ten  days 
thus  defined  has  been  accepted  in  place  of 
the  thirty  days  originally  proposed  to  pro- 
tect libraries  and  other  purchasers  against 
unnecessary  delay.  This  would  seem  to 
be  a  fair  compromise  between  two  inter- 
ests incidentally  in  conflict  though  in  gen- 
eral having  the  same  purpose  of  promot- 
ing the  distribution  of  books. 

Question  has  been  raised  whether 
there  should  not  be  some  limitation  as  to 
the  price  at  which  foreign  editions  when 
demanded  should  be  sold  by  the  American 
publisher,  but  it  was  found  impracticable 
to  make  any  definition  of  price.  The 
phrase  "at  a  reasonable  price"  which  had 
been  proposed  is  so  vague  that  similar 
phraseology  has  sent  such  questions  to  the 
courts  for  difficult  decision,  and,  of  course,

no  rate  per  shilling  or  per  franc,  especial- 
ly under  present  conditions  of  exchange, 
could  be  stated.  There  is  every  indication, 
however,  that  there  would  be  fair  play  in 
this  relation  and  that  American  publishers 
would  not  seek  to  take  advantage  of  libra- 
ries in  this  respect. 

The  instruction  to  the  A.  L.  A.  com- 
mittees proposed  by  Dr.  Raney  seems  to 
require  the  committees  to  insist  upon  the 
privileges  of  importation  by  libraries  in 
the  present  form,  and  I  fear  that  this 
course,  pressed  in  a  spirit  that  would  lead 
to  acrimonious  dissension,  would  prove 
the  most  serious  obstacle  in  enabling  us, 
after  a  generation's  endeavor,  to  join  the 
International  Copyright  Union.  I  hope, 
therefore,  that  the  Council  may  decide  to 
give  the  A.  L.  A.  committees  such  general 
instruction  as  would  enable  them  to  accept 
reasonable  compromise  and  thus  keep  the 
A.  L.  A.  in  line  with  the  other  classes  con- 
cerned, which  are  each,  from  their  own 
point  of  view,  making  reasonable  conces- 
sions. 

Dr.  Anderson  moved  the  adoption  of  the 
resolutions  and  the  motion  was  seconded. 
There  was  much  discussion.  The  motion 
carried  unanimously. 

Functions  of  A.  L.  A.  Committees 
Carl  B.  Roden,  chairman  of  the  Commit- 
tee on  Committees,  presented  the  follow- 
ing resolutions:. 

Resolved,  That  the  Council  transmit  to 
the  Executive  Board  the  accompanying  re- 
port of  the  Committee  on  Committees,  to- 
gether with  the  following  recommenda- 
tions: 

1.  That   the   observations   and   conclu- 
sions  concerning  the   several  committees, 
embodied  in  the  report,  be  considered  in 
detail    with    a    view    to    determining    the 
proper   status   of  each   as   a   standing   or 
specific  committee. 

2.  That  a  by-law  be  formulated  and  sub- 
mitted   to    the    Association    for    adoption, 
creating  and  enumerating  the  several  com- 
mittees to  be  known  as  standing  commit- 
tees of  the   A.   L.  A.   and   defining   their 
powers,  duties  and  jurisdiction. 

3.  That  the  committees  heretofore  ap- 
pointed  by   the   Council,  or  by  the   Presi- 
dent upon  request  of  the   Council,   which 
are  listed  among  committees  of  the  Asso- 
ciation and  are  performing  duties   or  ex- 
ercising powers  for  and  in  behalf  of  the 
Association,   be   reconstituted,  reorganized 
or   reappointed    by    the    Executive    Board, 
either  as  standing  or  special  committees, 
or  that  they  be  merged  with  other  exist- 
ing   committees    or    discontinued,    as    the 
Executive  Board  may  determine.     And  be 
it  further 


Resolved,  That  committees  created  by 
the  Council,  or  toy  its  presiding  officer 
upon  request  of  the  Council,  are  limited, 
as  to  functions,  to  consideration  of,  or 
assistance  in,  the  business  of  the  Council; 
and,  as  to  membership,  to  persons  who 
are  members  of  the  Council. 

Mr.  Roden  moved  the  adoption  of  the 
resolution  and  the  motion  was  seconded. 

In  the  discussion  of  the  resolution  Mr. 
Roden  quoted  from  the  report  of  the  com- 
mittee which  was  submitted  at  the 
Swampscott  conference. 

C.  W.  Andrews  moved  to  strike  out  the 
last  clause:  "and  as  to  membership  to 
persons  who  are  members  of  the  Council." 
This  amendment  was  accepted. 

Those  who  took  part  in  the  discussion 
were:  Henry  N.  Sanborn,  E.  C.  Richard- 
son, Margaret  Mann  and  M.  L.  Raney. 

The  resolution  as  amended  was  adopted. 

The  meeting  adjourned. 

THIRD    SESSION 

An  open  meeting  of  the  Council  was 
held  in  the  Hotel  Sherman  at  10:00  a.m., 
December  30,  1921. 

Library  Revenues 

Samuel  H.  Ranck  presented  the  follow- 
ing revised  resolution: 

The  American  Library  Association  be- 
lieves that  $1  per  capita  of  the  population 
of  the  community  served  is  a  reasonable 
minimum  annual  revenue  for  the  library 
in  a  community  desiring  to  maintain  a 
good  modern  public  library  system  with 
trained  librarians. 

This  sum  should  cover  a  main  library 
with  reading  room  facilities,  branch  libra- 
ries and  reading  rooms  within  easy  reach 
of  all  the  people,  a  registration  of  card 
holders  equal  to  at  least  thirty  per  cent 
of  the  population,  and  a  considerable  col- 
lection of  the  more  expensive  books  of 
reference,  with  a  home  use  of  about  five 
volumes  per  capita  per  year. 

This  allowance  of  per  capita  revenue 
may  need  modification  in  the  case  of  very 
small  or  very  large  communities,  or  com- 
munities which  are  otherwise  exceptional. 
Small  communities  may  often  obtain  in- 
creased library  service  for  the  same  ex- 
penditure per  capita  by  enlarging  the  area 
of  administration.  The  situation  in  large 
communities  is  often  modified  by  the  pres- 
ence of  good  endowed  libraries  free  for 
public  use. 

Communities  desiring  their  libraries  to 
supply  these  needs  extensively  and  with 
I  ho  highest  grade  of  trained  service,  will 


AMERICAN    LIBRARY    ASSOCIATION 


find  it  necessary  to  provide  a  support 
much  larger  than  the  minimum  of  $1  per 
capita.  This  should  cover  extension  work 
sufficient  to  bring  home  to  the  children, 
the  foreign  speaking  people,  business  men, 
artisans,  advanced  students,  public  offi- 
cials, and  in  general  all  classes  of  the 
people,  the  opportunities  that  such  a  li- 
brary is  not  only  ready  but  able  to  afford, 
with  a  service  that  is  administered  by 
trained  librarians  having  special  knowl- 
edge in  their  particular  departments. 

The  Committee  recommends  that  fur- 
ther study  be  given  to  the  whole  subject 
of  adequate  support  for  high  school  and 
grade  school  libraries,  and  for  college  and 
university  libraries,  to  be  based  on  a 
knowledge  of  the  existing  situation  with 
reference  to  such  libraries. 

Mr.  Ranck  moved  the  adoption  of  the 
resolution  and  the  motion  was  seconded 
and  carried. 

National    Certification 
In    the    absence    of    C.    C.    Williamson, 
chairman   of  the  Committee  on  National 
Certification,  P.  L.  Windsor  presented  the 
following  resolutions: 

Whereas,  Special  committees  of  the 
American  Library  Association  appointed 
for  the  purpose  of  studying  and  reporting 
on  the  proposal  for  a  system  of  national 
certification  for  librarians  have  at  two 
successive  annual  conferences  reported 
unanimously  in  favor  of  the  establishment 
of  some  such  voluntary  certification  plan 
as  has  been  presented  in  considerable  de- 
tail in  their  successive  reports,  and 

WJiereas,  In  the  system  of  national  cer- 
tification as  projected,  the  A.  L.  A.,  as  the 
principal  body  of  professional  librarians 
in  the  country,  will  naturally  have  a  pre- 
ponderant influence,  and 

Whereas,  It  is  desirable  that  such  a  cer- 
tification authority,  in  order  to  maintain  a 
consistent  policy  and  program  over  a  long 
period  of  years,  should  possess  the  high- 
est degree  of  independence  of  thought  and 
action  consistent  with  amenability  to  the 
matured  judgment  of  the  members  of  the 
library  profession,  and 

Whereas,  No  practicable  means  of  financ- 
ing the  activities  of  a  voluntary  certifica- 
tion board  are  yet  in  sight,  and  it  is  there- 
fore inexpedient  to  organize  such  a  board 
at  once. 

Therefore  "be  it  resolved,  That  the  A.L.A. 

1.  Approves  in  principle  the  plan  and 
purpose  of  voluntary  certification  of  libra- 
rians, as  set  forth  in  the  report  of  the 
special  committee  on  national  certification 
presented  to  the  Council  of  the  A.  L.  A. 
at  Swampscott,  Mass.,  and  printed  in  the 


volume    of   Annual   Reports   of    1920-1921, 
pp,  78-88,  and 

2.  Empowers  and  directs  the  Executive 
Board  of  the  Association  to  appoint  forth- 
with a  special  committee,  which  commit- 
tee, in  co-operation  with  representatives  of 
other  bodies  interested  in  standards  of 
library  service,  shall  be  charged  with  the 
following  specific  duties  and  be  required 
to  report  at  the  next  annual  conference 
of  the  Association,  to  wit: 

a.  To  prepare,  with  the  aid  of  compe- 
tent legal  advice,  articles  of  incorporation 
for  state  or  federal  charter  for  a  national 
certification  board  for  librarians,  in  which 
board  the  A.  L.  A.  shall  always  have  the 
power  to  appoint  a  majority  of  the  mem- 
bers; and, 

b.  To   report   on   ways   and   means    of 
financing  the  activities  of  such  a  certifica- 
tion board. 

Mr.  Windsor  moved  the  adoption  of 
these  resolutions  and  the  motion  was  sec- 
onded. 

Mr.  Windsor  explained  that  personally 
he  did  not  approve  any  national  scheme 
of  certification  but  that  if  any  national 
scheme  were  to  be  endorsed  by  the  A.L.A. 
he  would  recommend  the  scheme  proposed 
by  the  committee.  His  objection  was  not 
to  the  scheme  itself  but  to  the  idea  of  hav- 
ing local  educational  affairs  supervised  in 
any  degree  from  outside  the  state. 

Paul  M.  Paine  had  been  invited  to  dis- 
cuss the  resolution  but  was  not  present. 
In  his  absence  Mr.  Paine's  statement  was 
read  by  A.  H.  Shearer. 

After  referring  to  the  Lockwood  Law, 
now  in  effect,  providing  for  the  establish- 
ment of  standards  of  library  service  in 
New  York  State,  Mr.  Paine  said  that  now 
is  the  time  to  guard  certification  against 
the  confusion  already  existing  in  so  many 
departments  of  law  and  public  service  be- 
cause of  the  conflicts  of  the  standards  of 
the  separate  states  and  a  lack  of  uniform 
standards  established  under  federal  aus- 
pices. 

He  emphasized  strongly  the  importance 
of  the  national  plan  for  certification  and 
the  value  of  consideration  of  the  state 
plans  by  the  American  Library  Associa- 
tion Committee.  He  considered  the  tenta- 
tive scheme  proposed  by  Dr.  Williamson's 
committee  a  wise  and  just  one  particularly 
after  the  clarifying  of  certain  wording. 


BULLETIN 


He  discussed  the  difficulty  of  applying 
broad  and  generous  standards  to  certifica- 
tion but  he  considered  this  no  argument 
against  adopting  such  standards.  The 
temptation  to  make  iron  clad  rules  and 
create  an  artificial  distinction,  a  privileged 
and  exclusive  professional  class,  is  a  thing 
tc  be  guarded  against. 

Mr.  Paine  considered  that  the  place  for 
national  certification  should  make  it  clear 
that  not  only  now  but  in  the  future  the 
"equivalent"  of  the  normal  mode  of  en- 
trance into  the  profession  is  always  going 
to  be  attainable  by  the  persons  who  are 
needed  in  the  profession.  He  said  that 
certification  would  fall  far  from  its  ideal 
if  It  failed  to  provide  for  young  workers 
in  training  class  and  apprentice  courses, 
and  those  who  are  actively  and  accept- 
ably practicing  their  profession. 

The  president  called  attention  to  the 
fact  that  the  resolution  does  not  involve 
the  approval  of  the  details  of  the  plan  of 
certification  worked  out  by  the  committee 
"but  commits  the  Association  in  principle 
to  the  plan  in  general  and  purpose  of  vol- 
untary certification." 

DB.  SHEAKEB:  For  most  professions  there 
is  only  one  grade.  A  man  having  been  ad- 
mitted to  practice  medicine,  or  dentistry, 
or  law,  practices  medicine,  or  dentistry,  or 
law.  The  people  as  a  whole  pick  out  the 
good  ones  without  any  further  certifica- 
tion. On  the  other  hand  we  have  here  pro- 
posed several  different  grades. 

W.  R.  WATSON:  The  New  York  state 
law  gives  the  regents  power  to  establish 
standards  of  service.  It  is  our  hope  in 
any  plan  which  may  be  evolved  to  make 
a  provision  for  advancement  from  the 
lower  grades  to  the  upper  grades.  In 
other  words,  the  plan  which  we  have  out- 
lined requires  people  without  technical 
training  and  experience,  to  take  examina- 
tion to  reach  the  higher  grades;  but  it  in 
no  wise  deprives  anyone  of  that  advance- 
ment. 

H.  O.  SEVERANCE:  It  seems  to  me  the  im- 
portant thing  for  us  to  do  is  to  establish 
standards  which  can  be  made  into  laws  in 
the  different  states. 

M.  S.  Dudgeon  agreed  with  Mr.  Windsor 
and  Mr.  Severance  that  the  state  is  the 
logical  unit  for  certification  and  pointed 


out  the  difficulties  in  any  voluntary 
scheme. 

C.  W.  ANDREWS:  I  am  opposed  in  prin- 
ciple to  the  policy  of  certification.  I  be- 
lieve the  grading  of  people  by  the  persons 
in  immediate  contact  will  be  of  much  bet- 
ter service  than  under  any  national 
scheme  of  fixed  requirements. 

Adam  Strohm,  referring  to  the  resolu- 
tion previously  passed  on  library  revenues, 
spoke  of  the  necessity  of  establishing 
higher  standards  of  service  to  keep  pace 
with  increased  income.  He  thought  cer- 
tification would  provide  effective  legal 
means  of  excluding  from  library  work 
those  who  are  incapable  of  rendering  good 
service. 

Frank  K.  Walter  advocated  an  examina- 
tion for  everybody  whether  library  school 
graduate  or  not.  He  said:  "I  am  not  so 
much  afraid  of  certification  as  to  think 
that  as  soon  as  certificates  are  issued  the 
head  librarians  will  immediately  lose 
their  initiative  and  their  power  of  individ- 
ual judgment." 

MR.  DUDGEON:  A  certificate  will  elimin- 
ate the  absolutely  ignorant  person  and 
will  give  the  trustees  a  dignified  reason 
for  refusing  to  deal  with  those  who  are 
not  qualified. 

HENBT  N.  SANBORN:  There  should  be 
some  national  board  for  the  certifying  or 
grading  of  library  schools  and  training 
classes  and  we  should  have  the  distinc- 
tion drawn  between  professional  and  cler- 
ical workers. 

O.  S.  RICE:  State  aid  to  public  libraries 
based  on  the  qualifications  of  the  staff 
would  help  very  much  to  make  the  cer- 
tification plan  a  success.  I  am  heartily  in 
favor  of  the  certification  of  librarians  by 
state  authorities,  but  I  believe  the  work 
of  the  A.  L.  A.  -should  be  advisory.  They 
should  formulate  standards  which  will 
help  states  in  securing  the  right  kind  of 
legislation. 

Mr.  Severance  moved 

To  recommit  the  resolution  to  the  exist- 
ing committee  with  direction  that  it  form- 
ulate standards  of  certification  and  provi- 
sions which  are  to  be  recommended  for  in- 
corporation into  state  laws  and  to  suggest 
methods  by  which  the  Association  can  co- 
operate in  securing  the  proper  legislation. 

The  motion  was  seconded.

AMERICAN    LIBRARY    ASSOCIATION 


Mr.  Windsor,  on  behalf  of  Dr.  William- 
son, called  attention  to  the  fact  that  the 
national  scheme  would  make  it  easier  to 
find  financial  support  for  a  certification 
board  and  said  that  under  a  national 
scheme  there  would  be  an  easier  inter- 
change of  librarians  between  the  different 
states. 

Others  who  took  part  in  the  discussion 
were  Mary  E.  Downey  and  Mary  S.  Saxe. 

The  motion  by  Mr.  Severance  was  car- 
ried. 
Resolution  on  the  Death  of  Mrs.  Fairchild 

The  following  minute  was  presented  by 
June  R.  Donnelly,  at  the  request  of  the 
president,  and  was  unanimously  adopted 
by  a  rising  vote: 

The  Council  today  joins  with  all  who  be- 
lieve in  the  high  mission  of  the  book,  in 
grateful  recognition  of  the  work  of  one 
who  was  an  ardent  apostle  of  this  belief, 
Mary  Salome  Cutler  Fairchild,  whose  life 
of  devoted  service  to  library  ideals  ended 
on  December  20th,  in  Baltimore. 

From  1892-98,  and  again  in  1909-14  Mrs. 
Fairchild  was  an  honored  member  of  this 
body,  giving  wise  counsel  and  taking  her 
share  of  responsibility  as  conscientiously 
as  she  did  every  professional  duty. 

There  are  few  of  us  who  did  not  have 
reason  to  thank  her  for  inspiration  and 
stimulus,  and  many  of  us  know  her  to 
have  been  more  than  we  guessed  at  the 
time  the  one  who  set  our  ambitions  for 
library  work  in  the  mould  they  have  taken. 

Though  the  condition  of  her  health  made 
it  imperative  for  her  to  lay  down  in  1905 
the  vice-directorship  of  the  New  York 
State  Library  School,  which  she  had  held 
since  1889,  the  tradition  which  she  estab- 
lished of  what  library  training  should 
stand  for  is  still  one  of  the  most  potent 
influences  in  every  institution  which  trains 
librarians.  Though  curricula  may  change 
with  the  times,  if  the  spirit  should  change 
greatly  from  that  which  she  believed 
should  animate  library  service  it  would 
be  a  loss. 

"The  right  book  for  the  right  person" 
still  sums  up  the  essence  of  most  of  our 
most  advanced  library  thinking  and  it  was 
something  she  never  lost  sight  of. 

She  was  born  June  21,  1855,  in  Dalton, 
Massachusetts,  the  daughter  of  Artemas 
Hubbard  and  Lydia  Wakefleld  Cutler,  and 
though  much  of  her  life  was  spent  beyond 
its  borders,  she  showed  throughout  many 
of  the  best  characteristics  of  her  native 
state,  and  of  ier  college,  then  Mt.  Holyoke 
Seminary. 

Miss  Cutler  taught  at  Mt.  Holyoke  1876- 
78,  but  later  turned  to  library  work  and 


was  the  head  cataloger  at  the  Columbia 
University  Library,  1885-89.  Inevitably 
she  was  one  of  the  leading  spirits  of  the 
first  library  school,  being  instructor  in 
cataloging  at  the  Columbia  Library  School, 
1887-89. 

In  all  professional  activities  she  took  an 
active  part.  She  was  a  life  member  of  the 
A.  L.  A.  and  from  1889-92  was  assistant 
secretary  of  the  A.  L.  A.  In  1894-95  she 
was  second  vice-president  of  the  A.  L.  A. 
and  in  1888-89  was  vice-president  of  the 
:New  York  Library  Club. 

One  of  her  most  important  services  was 
as  chairman  of  the  A.  L.  A.  Committee  in 
charge  of  the  library  exhibit  of  the  World's 
Columbian  Exposition  in  Chicago,  1893. 

Not  only  by  her  teaching  but  through 
frequent   contributions   to   library   publica- 
tions she  spread  her  influence. 
She  was  also  the  author  of 
Children's  home  libraries,  1894, 
Scientific  study  of  philanthropy,  1894, 
Function  of  the  library,  1901. 
Mrs.    Fairchild's    interest    always    went 
put  to  children  and  to  those  handicapped 
in    any    way,    and    especially    toward    the 
blind.     From  1899-1905  she  was  librarian 
of   the   New   York   State   Library   for   the 
blind. 

Though  after  1905  Mrs.  Fairchild  did 
not  again  accept  a  permanent  position,  her 
health  later  permitted  her  for  a  few  years 
to  renew  her  active  participation  in  some 
library  work. 

On  the  death  of  Miss  Kroeger  in  No- 
vember, 1909,  Mrs.  Fairchild  was  prevailed 
upon  to  act  as  interim  Director  of  the 
Drexel  Institute  Library  School  and  take 
charge  of  the  negotiations  for  a  permanent 
director. 

Her  months  there  were  few,  only  from 
November  to  January,  but  even  in  that 
short  time  she  impressed  the  class  in  resi- 
dence with  her  own  high  spirit. 

In  July,  1897,  she  was  married  to  the 
Rev.  Edward  Milton  Fairchild,  and  her 
happiness  in  her  home  life  was  a  source 
of  strength  to  her  while  in  her  profes- 
sional career  as  well  as  after  her  retire- 
ment. 

To  her  husband  and  to  all  who  knew 
her,  the  Council  sends  its  sympathy,  but 
for  her  rejoices  that  she  has  entered  upon 
a  happy  holiday  from  pain  this  Christmas- 
tide.

At  the  request  of  J.  I.  Wyer  the  follow- 
ing resolution  was  presented: 

Resolved,  That  the  American  Library  As- 
sociation again  urge  upon  the  Postmaster 
General  the  imperative  need  of  such  mod-

two  sessions  presided  over  by  the  chair- 
roan,  Arthur  Cunningham,  who  stated  the 
aims  of  the  meetings  to  be:  1)  to  discuss 
the  question  whether  school  libraries 
should  be  developed  directly  by  the  school 
or  by  the  public  library;  2)  to  inform  our- 
selves as  to  what  is  actually  being  done 
in  regard  to  the  supervision  and  standard1- 
ization  of  school  libraries  in  the  various 
states. 

O.  S.  Rice  made  a  strong  plea  for  the

cess, and  for  the  qualified  teacher-libra- 
rian as  essential  to  pupils'  development.

H.  Kerr.  Discussion  followed  regarding 
the  academic  degree  which  should  be  a 


requirement  for  school  librarians;  and 
also  on  the  relationship  between  public 
and  school  libraries.  The  discussion  was 
participated  in  by  many  of  those  present. 
The  second  session  was  given  over  to 
the  consideration  of  children's  literature 
and  library  science.  C.  M.  Curry  of  the

JThe  assumption  is  that  we  can  get  enough 
new  members  to  balance  off  the  losses  of  old 
members  (There  was  a  net  gain  this  year 


of  843)  and  that  3,000  members  out  of  ap- 
proximately 5,250  will  accept  the  $4.00  basis. 
But  we  should  protect  ourselves  on  this  esti- 
mate by  keeping  a  large  contingent  fund  in 
the  budget.  No  estimate  is  made  of  the  pos- 
sible income  from  contributing  and  sustain- 
ing members,  although  undoubtedly  some 
such  members  can  be  secured. 

2  The  amount  paid  from  the  Publishing 
Funds  to  the  General  Funds  for  editorial, 
selling,  mailing  and  bookkeeping  expenses 
on  publications  has  averaged  about  20%  of 
the  amount  received  from  the  sale  of  publi- 
cations— up  to  1921.  The  635  free  Booklist 
subscriptions  furnished  to  institutional  mem- 
bers make  an  additional  payment  of  more 
than  6%  of  the  sales  of  publications. 

It  is  now  proposed  that  the  payment  be 
25%  of  the  amount  received  from  the  sale 
of  publications,  thus  providing  a  varying 
amount  for  a  service  which  varies  with  the 
number  of  publications  issued  and  sold.

(5)  To    promote    the    extension    of    li- 
brary  facilities   to    children   in    rural    dis- 
tricts. 

(6)  To    encourage    in    head    librarians 
their  responsibility  for  library   service  to 
children. 

Some  excerpts  are  given  herewith  which 
are  of  interest. 

"We  *  *  *  think  that  there  is  today 
more  progress  toward  making  the  use  and 
love  of  good  books  influential  among  boys 
and  girls  than  there  has  ever  been  be- 
fore." This  is  evident  "in  the  fact  that 
the  library  is  given  the  place  it  holds  in 
public  school  work  whether  in  city  or 
state  systems."  Is  it  not  "significant  that 
the  children's  librarians  can  run  a  book 
store  for  children,  or  that  the  Booksellers' 
Association  and  the  Boy  Scouts  of  Amer- 
ica give  country-wide  publicity  to  book 
lists  made  by  children's  librarians?" 

"Fifteen  or  twenty  years  ago  when  chil- 
dren's library  work  was  new  and  every- 
one was  interested  in  even  the  smallest 
details  of  the  work,  children's  librarians 
talked  and  wrote  a  great  deal  about  what 
they  were  doing,  and  there  was  perhaps 
some  little  striving  for  spectacular  effects. 
Then  children's  work  sort  of  dropped  from 
the  lime  light  and  was  followed  by  high 
school  library  work,  special  libraries,  etc. 

"Children's  library  work  took  its  first 
step  forward  at  that  time,  for  out  of  all 
this  discussion  a  sane,  constructive  pro- 
gram emerged,  which  has  been  and  is  still 
being  carried  out  by  a  great  many  chil- 
dren's librarians  throughout  the  country, 
and  which  can  be  made  more  effective  and 
far-reaching  when  we  have  more  well- 
trained  children's  librarians  and  more 
money  for  books  and  salaries."

NOTE   ON    NOMINATING   COMMITTEE'S 
REPORT 

Members  of  the  Association  in  reading 
the  report  of  the  Nominating  Committee 
found  on  pages  3  and  4  of  this  Bulletin 
should  refer  to  the  new  constitution,  Sec- 
tions 11,  12,  18,  19  and  21,  and  to  the  new 
by-laws,  Section  8,  in  the  Handbook  for 
1921,  pages  264-267. 

It  will  be  observed  that  the  constitution 
provides  in  Section  11  that  "at  each  an- 
nual meeting  two  members  shall  be  elected 
to  the  Executive  Board  to  serve  for  four 
years."  This  calls  for  the  nomination  of 
six  persons. 

The  vacancy  created  by  the  election  of 
Mr.  Root  to  the  preseidency,  was  filled 
by  the  Executive  Board  for  one  year  only, 
in  accordance  with  Section  12  of  the  con- 
stitution; hence  the  nomination  of  three 
additional  persons,  or  nine  in  all,  three  of 
whom  are  to  be  elected. 

The  by-laws  provide  for  a  vote  by  mail. 
In  accordance  with  this  provision,  official 
ballots  will  be  mailed  to  each  member  of 
the  Association  about  the  first  of  May. 


An  Oregon  state  law  became  effective 
on  May  25th,  which  provides,  along  with 
several  other  things,  "that  it  shall  be  un- 
lawful for  a  library  board  of  a  library 
having  an  income  not  in  excess  of  $2,500 
a  year,  to  purchase  or  to  make  accessible 
to  the  public  any  books  except  as  recom- 
mended in  the  Booklist  issued  by  the 
American  Library  Association,  or  any 
state  library  or  school  department."

U.  S.  Depart,  of  Agriculture  Library. 

Treasurer — Edward  D.  Tweedell,  The  John 
Crerar  Library,  Chicago.

Secretary — Carl  H.  Milam,  78  E.  Washing- 
ton St.,  Chicago. 

Executive  offices — 78  E.  Washington  St., 
Chicago. 


IN  THE  first  twenty-five  days  of  1922,  110 
new  members  joined  the  A.  L.  A. — 14 
institutional    members    and    96    individual 
members. 

The  membership  on  January  1st  was 
5,307.  How  soon  can  we  make  it  6,000? 

AN  INFORMAL  statement  of  work  done 
by  the  A.  L.  A.  (and  especially  by  the 
headquarters  office)  in  1921  is  printed  in 
this  number  of  the  Bulletin.  Members  are 
urged  to  read  it  and  to  make  such  criti- 
cisms and  suggestions  as  may  grow  out  of 
the  reading. 

MANY  positions  are  being  filled  each 
month  through  the  employment  service. 
These  are  in  almost  every  field  of  library 
endeavor.  Registrants  and  the  A.  L.  A. 
would  be  saved  embarrassment  and  em- 
ployers much  trouble,  if  those  registered 
would  notify  the  Assistant  Secretary  who 
is  in  charge  of  employment  when  they 
have  accepted  a  position  or  are  not  avail- 
able for  one. 

It  would  be  helpful  also  if  geographical 
limitations  were  clearly  defined  at  the 
time  of  placing  registrations. 


The  noticeable  openings  at  the  time  of 
writing  are  for  general  assistants,  catalog- 
ers,  children's  librarians  and  librarians  to 
take  charge  of  small  libraries.  Of  course, 
the  opportunity  for  specialized  work  oc- 
curs frequently. 

No  inflation  in  salaries  is  evident  but 
neither  is  a  decrease  noticeable.  Many 
small  libraries  are  offering  better  salaries 
than  a  year  ago. 

EVERY  librarian,  who  is  interested  in 
making  the  library  meet  the  needs  of 
the  laboring  man,  should  read  "Workers 
Education  in  the  United  States,"  which  is 
the  report  of  the  proceedings  of  the  first 
national  conference  on  workers  education 
in  the  United  States.  It  is  published  by 
the  Workers  Education  Bureau  of  Amer- 
ica, 465  West  Twenty-third  Street,  New 
York  City.  More  than  forty  speeches  have 
been  reported,  on  such  subjects  as  "The 
Education  the  Workers  Want,"  "Obstacles 
in  the  Way  of  Labor  Education,"  and  "The 
United  Labor  Education  Committee." 

The  secretary  of  the  Workers  Educa- 
tion Bureau,  Spencer  Miller,  Jr.,  is  much 
interested  in  the  educational  opportuni- 
ties offered  by  public  libraries  to  laboring 
men.  It  is  suggested  that  librarians,  who 
have  assembled  concrete  instances  show- 
ing the  service  of  the  library  in  the  field 
of  adult  education,  might  well  communi- 
cate some  of  these  facts  to  Mr.  Miller. 

The  Adult  Education  movement  is  one 
in  which  librarians  are  naturally  inter- 
ested. Many  will  be  pleased  to  know  that 
Albert  Mansbridge,  author  of  "An  Adven- 
ture in  Working  Class  Education"  (pub- 
lished by  Longmans,  Green  &  Co.,  London, 
1920),  chairman  of  the  World  Association 
for  Adult  Education,  13  John  Street,  Adel- 
phi,  London,  W.  C.  2,  is  to  deliver  the 
Lowell  Institute  Lectures  in  March,  1922, 
in  Boston. 

LIBRARIANS  who  have  observed  Chil- 
dren's Book  Week  will  welcome  the  op- 
portunities which  are  being  offered  hi 
1922  for  further  book  publicity  in  co-op- 
eration with  booksellers  and  publishers. 
The  "Calendar  for  Booksellers"  for  the 
first  six  months  in  1922  lists  many

special  features  which  librarians  will  'be 
glad  to  emphasize. 

The  features  for  February  to  June  are 
as  follows: 

February — "America's  Making  told  in 
Books." 

March — "Find  it  in  Books,"  with  special 
emphasis  on  useful  books  for  business  and 
useful  books  for  the  home. 

April— Religious  Book  Week,  April  2-8. 
"Back  to  Nature"  books  are  also  to  be  em- 
phasized. 

May — Books  as  graduation  gifts  and  re- 
wards for  school  children. 

June — Books  for  vacation  reading  and 
books  for  wedding  presents. 

Detailed  announcements  and  sugges- 
tions have  been  sent  to  booksellers  by  the 
National  Association  of  Book  Publishers, 
334  Fifth  Avenue,  New  York,  in  a  bulletin 
entitled,  "Year-Round  Bookselling  News." 
This  bulletin  will  be  sent  to  libraries  on 
request, 

A  five-color  lithographed  poster  for  use 
in  February  is  'being  prepared  by  the  Na- 
tional Association  of  Book  Publishers. 
Single  copies  will  be  sent  to  libraries  on 


request.  A  colored  poster  is  also  being 
prepared  for  use  in  March  and  will  be  sent 
by  the  National  Association  of  Booksellers 
on  request. 

Libraries  will  naturally  wish  to  have 
reading  lists  for  free  distribution  as  a 
part  of  their  contribution  to  the  book  pub- 
licity. For  February  "The  United  States" 
list,  compiled  by  Mrs.  Elniendorf  for  the 
Buffalo  Public  Library  and  reprinted  by 
the  A.  L.  A.,  is  most  appropriate. 

For  March  we  are  expecting  to  compile 
and  publish  two  short  reading  lists  on 
"Useful  Books  for  Business"  and  "Useful 
Books  for  the  Home." 

A  short  reading  course  on  religious  edu- 
cation and  Sunday  school  work  is  being 
prepared  by  the  A.  L.  A.  for  use  in  April. 

Some  of  these  lists  may  also  appear  in 
The  Booklist  from  time  to  time  and  the 
library  periodicals  will,  no  doubt,  an- 
nounce material  which  will  be  of  value  to 
libraries  in  their  efforts  to  work  with 
others  who  are  engaged  in  promoting  the 
use  of  books. 


FACTS  FOR  TRUSTEES 


LIBRARY  TRUSTEESHIP* 
By  M.  F.  Gallagher 
library  trustees  have  an  impor- 
1  tant  responsibility.  The  duties  and  func- 
tions of  government  include  the  education 
no  less  than  the  protection  of  citizens. 
The  fundamental  need  of  America  is  more 
thorough  and  general  education.  Public 
libraries  constitute  one  of  the  most  ef- 
fective means  of  education,  not  second 
in  importance  to  the  schools  and  colleges 
but  equal  and  supplementary.  Libraries 
are  for  young  and  old  alike.  The  library 
ideal  is  essentially  democratic;  it  is,  as 
Mr.  Carnegie  once  remarked,  "pure  com- 
munism in  the  riches  of  the  printed  page." 
The  war  has  left  us  with  the  huge  prob- 
lem of  reconstruction,  and  fortunately 
with  a  greater  hunger  for  knowledge  than 
ever  before.  The  public  library  never  had 
a  greater  usefulness  or  a  greater  work  to 
do.  There  are  now  ten  readers  of  a  good 


book  to  one  before  the  war.  There  never 
before  was  such  an  interest  in  science, 
history,  geography  or  economics.  The 
war  has  also  made  us  realize  the  problem 
of  illiteracy  and  the  need  of  the  very  ele- 
mentals  of  education  by  7.7%  of  our  popu- 
lation. 

Ample  funds  are  the  prerequisite  for 
meeting  the  new  demand  for  library  serv- 
ice. With  governmental  activities  multi- 
plying rapidly  there  is  danger  that  gen- 
eral education  may  be  neglected  for  other 
public  work  less  salutary  and  essential.  It 
is  up  to  the  trustees  of  public  libraries  to 
secure  adequate  funds  not  only  for  main- 
tenance but  for  growth;  they  must  see 
that  library  revenues  are  not  curtailed  in 
the  present  movement  for  economy.  When 
favorable  legislation  is  secured  as  in  Illi- 
nois recently  where  the  taxation  rate  was 
increased  to  a  point  assuring  subsistence,

Association.  Indianapolis,  November,  1921.

the  enactment  was  largely  due  to  the  tire- 
less efforts  of  the  library  trustees. 

Beside  the  devising  of  ways  and  means, 
it  is  one  of  duties  of  the  trustees  to  bring 
home  to  the  people  and  to  government 
officials  the  importance  of  the  library;  to 
awaken  a  common  realization  of  the  edu- 
cational value  of  a  book  service  in  every 
community. 

Libraries  are  playing  a  large  part  in 
Americanization  and  general  education, 
and  they  have  a  larger  part  to  play.  They 
have  never  had  adequate  facilities  for 
covering  their  field.  There  are  6,000,000 
foreign  born  in  this  country  who  do  not 
speak  English,  most  of  whom  are  eager  to 
become  competent  citizens.  There  are 
60,000,000  people  without  reasonable  libra- 
ry facilities;  farmers  are  in  need  of  li- 
brary extension  service  not  only  for  tech- 
nical information  but  for  recreation.  The 
fact  that  even  in  cities  equipped  with 
libraries  comparatively  few  people  use 
them,  shows  the  need  of  library  publicity 
— of  making  known  the  resources  of  the 
library  to  the  community. 

The  world's  resources  for  reconstruc- 
tion lie  within  the  library,  and  there  is  no 
greater  task  than  to  make  them  available 
to,  and  realized  by,  all  the  people.  Trus- 
teeship of  a  library  is  an  opportunity  for 
the  highest  public  service. 

THE  American  Library  Association  be- 
lieves that  one  dollar  per  capita  of  the 
population  of  the  community  served  is  a 
reasonable  minimum  annual  revenue  for 
the  library  in  a  community  desiring  to 
maintain  a  good  modern  public  library  sys- 
tem with  trained  librarians. 

This  is  the  first  paragraph  of  a  signi- 
ficant resolution  adopted  by  the  American 
Library  Association  Council  in  Chicago. 
See  page  11  for  the  resolution  in  full. 


A  NEWSPAPER  recently  printed  the  fol- 
t\  lowing  note: 

"The  secretary  of  the  Library 

Association  keeps  reiterating  the  sugges- 
tion that  our  citizens  remember  the  libra- 
ry in  their  wills  with  gifts  of  money — $50, 
$100,  $500,  $5,000,  according  to  your  cir- 
cumstances. Where  could  you  possibly 
leave  it  to  better  advantage  to  your  fel- 
low citizens?" 

And  the  secretary  wrote  to  A.  L.  A. 
headquarters  that  "the  next  day  after  pub- 
lication of  the  library  note  a  woman  met 
me  and  said  she  had  just  made  a  new  will 

and  remembered  the  Library  in 

it." 

CCA  VERSION  on  the  part  of  taxpayers  to 
f\  meeting  liberal  levies  for  library 
purposes  is  generally  caused  by  the  popular 
belief  that  the  main  purpose  of  the  library  is 
to  provide  recreation  for  those  who  can  find 
it  in  reading  fiction.  This  is  only  one  func- 
tion of  a  library  and  in  many  libraries  it 
is  a  minor  function.  The  principal  educa- 
tional service  of  a  library  should  be  in 
providing  ready  access  to  books  that  will 
enable  persons  to  improve  their  ability  as 
workers.  No  library  can  approach  this 
service  without  the  money  to  spend  for 
technical  and  reference  works  and  this  is 
where  most  inadequately  equipped  libra- 
ries show  the  greatest  weakness. 

"The  public  library  will  reach  its  sphere 
of  greatest  usefulness  when  it  takes  on 
some  of  the  attributes  of  a  university 
without  formal  classroom  instruction.  The 
knowledge  should  be  there  for  those  who 
have  the  energy  and  patience  to  dig  it  out; 
and  the  staff  should  be  equal  to  the  duty 
of  making  the  knowledge  available.  Pro- 
gressive librarians  have  this  ideal  in 
mind.  They  are  working  toward  it,  but 
they  are  hampered  by  inadequate  funds 
and  the  money  will  be  forthcoming  only 
when  the  people  realize  that  the  library 
can  be  made  to  pay  dividends  upon  a  fair 
investment." — Indianapolis  News  Editori- 
al. 


AMERICAN    LIBRARY    ASSOCIATION 


THE  A.  L.  A.— 1921 


This  is  an  informal  statement  of  some 
of  the  work  done  by  the  American  Library 
Association  in  1921,  especially  during  the 
last  few  months  of  the  year.  The  formal 
reports  of  the  Secretary  and  of  the  vari- 
ous committees  are  made  at  the  time  of 
the  annual  conference,  usually  in  June, 
and  the  annual  financial  reports  will  be 
found  in  the  January  Bulletin  each  year 

Membership.  We  have  passed  the  five 
thousand  mark.  The  1921  Handbook  shows 
a  membership  of  5,307.  One  thousand  one 
hundred  and  seventy-eight  new  names  were 
added  and  335  members  were  lost  by  death 
or  failure  to  renew  their  membership.  The 
net  gain  was  843.  This  is  a  slightly  larger 
net  gain  than  that  of  the  year  1919,  when 
a  special  membership  campaign  was  made. 
I  have  no  doubt  that  some  of  the  success 
of  the  1921  efforts  resulted  from  the  pre- 
liminary work  done  in  1919. 

The  number  of  library  workers  in  the 
United  States  and  Canada  who  are  not 
members  of  the  American  Library  Asso- 
ciation is  probably  somewhere  between 
ten  and  twenty  thousand,  and  we  have 
among  our  members  considerably  less  than 
one  per  cent  of  all  the  library  trustees.  It 
would  seem,  therefore,  that  the  Associa- 
tion may  look  forward  to  a  continuing  in- 
crease in  A.  L.  A.  membership  limited  only 
by  the  ability  of  the  present  members  to 
interest  others  in  the  Association's  work. 

The  Annual  Conference  of  1921  in  the 
New  Ocean  House  at  Swampscott  set  a 
standard  in  size,  local  entertainment  and 
in  other  ways  which  will  be  difficult  to 
equal  in  1922. 

Committee  Reports.  The  Annual  Reports 
printed  for  the  conference  in  1921  required 
112  pages  as  compared  with  32  pages  used 
for  this  purpose  at  the  Colorado  Springs 
conference,  and  the  activities  of  the  com- 
mittees were  fairly  Indicated,  I  think,  oy 
the  reports. 

Employment  Service.  The  requests  for 
recommendations  for  all  sorts  of  positions 
were  heavy  until  about  the  middle  of  Oc- 
tober. Since  that  time  the  requests  have 
decreased  somewhat,  although  they  con- 
tinue to  come  in  considerable  numbers. 


Children's  librarians  are  as  much  in  de- 
mand as  at  any  time  at  salaries  which  are 
slightly  higher  than  a  year  ago.  Other 
demands  are  for  people  with  general 
training,  especially  for  small  public  libra- 
ries, at  salaries  averaging  from  $1,500  to 
$1,800.  Requests  for  librarians  and  as- 
sistants for  business  and  other  special  li- 
braries are  less  frequent.  The  number 
of  "live"  registrations  continues  to  run 
from  150  to  250.  Personal  visits  to  thfe 
Headquarters'  office  for  the  discussion  of 
employment  problems  are  frequent. 

Recruiting  for  Librarianship.  The  work 
done  by  A.  L.  A.  Headquarters  and  the 
A.  L.  A.  Committee  last  spring  continues. 
There  are  constant  requests  for  the  leaf- 
lets and  placards  and  many  personal  let- 
ters of  inquiry  and  personal  visits  from 
people  who  are  considering  library  work 
as  a  vocation.  A  renewal  of  the  more  ac- 
tive efforts  in  this  field  is  contemplated 
early  in  1922. 

New  Library  Buildings.  A  gratifying  in- 
terest in  the  erection  of  library  buildings 
is  Indicated  by  the  correspondence.  Fre- 
quent requests  are  now  received  for  blue 
prints  and  pictures  and  for  suggestions 
about  library  .buildings.  An  investigation 
made  through  the  library  commissions  of 
the  various  states,  at  the  request  of  the 
President's  Conference  on  Unemployment, 
shows  a  rather  surprising  amount  of  ac- 
tivity in  this  field.  Our  collection  of  build- 
ing plans  and  pictures  is  being  brought  up 
to  date  and  duplicate  copies  of  some  of 
the  best  plans  are  being  made  to  meet  the 
needs. 

Library  Establishment.  Communications 
are  received  every  few  days  from  some 
community  desiring  to  establish  a  library. 
Sometimes  these  requests  come  from 
states  in  which  there  are  library  commis- 
sions and  need  only  a  courteous  answer 
and  reference  to  their  commission.  More 
frequently,  however,  they  come  from 
states  in  which  there  are  no  library  com- 
missions and  require  the  sending  of  free 
publications  and  a  careful,  detailed  letter 
of  advice.  There  is  a  noteworthy  and  ap- 
parently spontaneous  interest  in  library

establishment  now  in -the  State  of  West 
Virginia. 

Requests  for  Books.  Requests  for  books 
from  communities  in  the  South  and  South- 
west, and  not  infrequently  from  colleges 
and  universities  in  foreign  countries,  are 
received  occasionally  and  with  a  frequency 
that  is  depressing  in  view  of  the  fact  that 
absolutely  nothing  can  be  done  to  meet 
the  requests.  The  Headquarters  staff  fre- 
quently wonders  whether  there  are  not 
libraries  in  the  country  which  would  wel- 
come an  opportunity  to  get  in  touch  with 
such  communities  and  perhaps  assume  a 
more  or  less  definite  responsibility  to  send 
occasional  gifts  of  books  which  would  be 
collected  for  the  purpose  from  the  libra- 
ry's patrons  or  drawn  from  the  library's 
collection  of  duplicates. 

A.  L.  A.  Representation  at  Meetings. 
The  Association  has  been  represented  in 
the  last  few  months  at  the  following  con- 
ferences : 

Congress   of   Education,   Honolulu,   T. 

H. 

American  Prison  Association,  Jackson- 
ville, Fla. 
American    Country    Life    Association, 

New  Orleans,  La. 

Southern  Co-operative  League,  Chatta- 
nooga, Tenn. 

Conference  for  the  discussion  of  the 
Towner-Sterling  Bill  at  Washington, 
D.  C. 

Ceremonies  attending  the  burial  of  the 
Unknown  Dead  in  Washington, 
D.  C. 

The  Association  has  been  represented 
at  the  following  state  library  meetings  by 
the  President:  Michigan,  Ohio,  Indiana, 
New  York;  and  by  the  Secretary  or  Miss 
Bogle  or  Miss  Massee  at  the  following: 

N.  E.  A.,  Des  Moines,  Iowa. 

Wisconsin  Library  Association,  Mil- 
waukee, Wis. 

Illinois  Library  Association,  Urbana, 
111. 

Iowa  Library  Association,  Ames,  Iowa. 

The  A.  L.  A.  has  also  co-operated  in 
Children's  Book  Week,  is  working  with 
other  organizations  in  the  preparation  for 
Thrift  Week  in  January,  and  had  some 
part  in  American  Education  Week  in  De- 
cember. 

There  seems  to  be  an  increasing  corre- 
spondence about  library  work  from  other 


national  organizations,  and  there  have 
been  a  few  requests  within  the  last  few 
months  for  facts  about  library  work  for 
use  in  books  on  civics  and  citizenship  and 
books  of  statistics. 

War  Service.  Although  the  Executive 
Board  voted  in  July,  1920,  instructing  a 
committee  to  bring  in  detailed  recommend- 
ations "looking  to  the  termination  of  the 
Library  War  Service  on  January  1,  li;21," 
the  committee  and  the  Board  have  not 
even  yet  found  it  possible  to  terminate 
all  of  this  work. 

Coblenz.  In  response  to  a  communica- 
tion from  Ex-President  Bishop,  indicating 
a  very  great  need  for  up-to-date  books  in 
Coblenz,  $1,000  was  spent  on  the  author- 
ity of  the  Committee  on  the  Transfer  of 
Library  War  Service  Activities.  The  li- 
brary equipment  and  responsibility  for 
service  had  been  formally  transferred  to 
the  United  States  Government  several 
months  before  that  time. 

Merchant  Marine.  The  books,  equip- 
ment and  responsibility  for  service  to  the 
Merchant  Marine  vessels  were  formally 
transferred  to  the  American  Merchant  Ma- 
rine Library  Association  in  August.  Word 
has  been  received  that  Herbert  Hoover  has 
accepted  the  honorary  vice-presidency  of 
the  new  organization.  Mrs.  Henry  How- 
ard is  the  active  president. 

Paris.  The  constitution  and  by-laws  of 
the  American  Library  in  Paris,  Inc.,  as- 
sure a  continuing  connection  through  the 
provisions  which  require  nomination  of 
the  librarian  by  the  A.  L.  A.  and  the  ap- 
pointment of  five  trustees  annually  by  the 
A.  L.  A.;  and  the  A.  L.  A.'s  gift  of  $25,000 
for  endowment  was  made  with  the  under- 
standing that  the  appointee  who  is  to  be 
paid  from  the  income  from  that  fund  must 
be  selected  with  the  approval  of  the  Amer- 
ican Library  Association. 

Hospital  Service.  Most  of  the  work  has 
been  transferred  to  the  Government,  al- 
though the  A.  L.  A.  is  continuing  two 
salaries  and  still  pays  a  few  of  the  inci- 
dental expenses.  But  some  of  the  men 
who  are  not  directly  under  the  Public 
Health  Service  must  be  served  by  the 
A.  L.  A.  for  a  time.

AMERICAN    LIBRARY    ASSOCIATION 


Library  War  Service  Historical  Records. 
An  effort  is  being  made  to  assemble  and 
put  into  permanent  and  accessible  form 
the  more  valuable  printed,  mimeographed 
and  multigraphed  War  Service  lists,  cir- 
culars, posters,  photographs  and  other  mis- 
cellaneous material. 

Publications.  During  the  year  1921 
forty-three  publications  have  been  issued, 
counting  separately  the  individual  num- 
bers of  the  periodical  publications.  They 
range  in  size  from  four-page  leaflets  to 
bound  volumes,  and  they  comprise  reading 
lists,  programs,  bibliographies,  proceed- 
ings and  pamphlets  about  various  phases 
of  library  work  for  librarians  and  for  the 
public. 

A  cartoon  poster,  a  book  mark,  a  placard 
and  seventy-eight  sets  of  two  rather  elabo- 
rate exhibits  were  included  in  the  year's 
publication  and  publicity  work. 

Nine  publications  were  reprinted,  some 
of  them  thoroughly  revised. 

There  have  also  been  numerous  printed 
circulars  about  these  publications  not 
counted  in  the  above  figures. 

Of  the  43  publications  first  mentioned, 
29  were  prepared  by  the  A.  L.  A.  Head- 
quarters and  Booklist  staffs,  or  under 
their  direct  supervision.  The  exhibits 
were  also  prepared  by  the  Headquarters 
staff. 

Several  of  the  small  publications  were 
prepared  to  meet  what  seemed  to  be  time- 
ly needs.  The  sales  and  the  frequency 
with  which  these  publications  are  used  at 
Headquarters  to  answer  direct  inquiries 
show  that  they  are  serving  a  useful  pur- 
pose. 

The    total    distribution    of    publications 
during  1921  is  estimated  at  276,000.

in  the  following  table:

Total    4,813         5,031 

The  gain  in  paid  subscriptions  is  only 
127,  but  perhaps  we  should  be  grateful  not 
to  have  shown  a  loss  in  view  of  the  one- 
third  increase  in  price  and  the  resulting 
loss  of  about  500  bulk  subscriptions  which 
had  to  be  made  up  in  individual  subscrip- 
tions. 

Publicity.  It  will  be  observed  that  some 
of  the  publications  issued  during  the  year 
are  primarily  for  distribution  to  the  pub- 
lic. It  may  be  assumed  that  the  copies  of 
these  publications  which  were  sold  to  libra- 
rians and  book  stores  have  largely  reached 
the  public  by  this  time. 

Some  of  them,  including  the  posters,  the 
exhibits  and  certain  of  the  leaflets  and 
book  lists,  were  made  possible  by  the  Books 
for  Everybody  Fund,  and  it  was  because 
they  were  prepared  at  the  expense  of  this 
Fund  that  they  were  sold  at  prices  which 
resulted  in  a  fairly  wide  distribution.  This 
Fund  was  also  drawn  upon  for  the  expense 
of  distributing  free  of  charge  several  thou- 
sand copies  of  the  reading  lists,  posters, 
county  library  and  other  leaflets  and  for

the  loan  sets  of  the  exhibits  which  are  be- 
ing used  largely  at  meetings  of  other  na- 
tional organizations. 

The  character  of  the  free  distribution 
will  be  indicated  by  the  following  exam- 
ples: 

The  Chairman  of  the  Library  Extension 
Committee  of  the  General  Federation  of 
Women's  Clubs  has  been  kept  supplied 
with  such  things  as 

A  county  library 

Book   wagons 

The  new  voter 

The  United   States 

and  many  others  for  use  in  her  correspond- 
ence with  club  women  throughout  the 
United  States;  and  we  sent 

A  county  library 

Children's  books   for   Christmas   pres- 
ents 

Library  work — an  opportunity  for  col- 
lege women 

Libraries  in  education   (received  from 

the  N.  E.  A.) 

to  the  presidents  and  the  library  extension 
committee  chairmen  of  the  various  state 
federations. 

Two  hundred  copies  of  A  county  library 
were  given  to  the  Central  Division  of  the 
American  Red  Cross  for  the  use  of  the  In- 
formation Service  Department. 

Five  hundred  copies  were  distributed  to 
the  Southern  Co-operative  League,  Chat- 
tanooga, Tennessee. 

Three  hundred  and  ten  copies  were 
mailed  to  the  members  of  all  committees 
of  the  American  Country  Life  Association 
or  distributed  at  the  conference. 

Two  hundred  and  three  copies  were  sent 
to  farm  papers  with  a  circular  letter. 

Several  hundred  were  sent  dfrectly  or 
indirectly  to  the  county  superintendents  of 
schools  in  the  states  without  library  com- 
missions. 

Several  hundred  copies  of  the  Book 
Wagon  pamphlet  have  been  distributed  /in 
similar  ways. 

The  list  of  Children's  books  for  Christ- 
mas  presents  has  for  the  most  part  been 
sold,  but  several  thousand  copies  were  dis- 
tributed free  of  charge  to  the  faculties  of 


normal  schools  and  private  schools,  and  to 
several  national  organizations  interested 
in  child  welfare. 

Nearly  500  copies  of  Workshops  for  as- 
sembling business  facts  have  been  distrib- 
uted to  the  members  of  the  National  Fed- 
eration of  Business  and  Professional  Wom- 
en's Clubs,  to  commercial  clubs  and  cham- 
bers of  commerce,  to  business  and  trade 
magazines. 

A  few  hundred  copies  of  the  United 
States  list  have  been  distributed  to  people 
interested  in  Americanization. 

Sets  of  the  exhibit  on  children's  reading 
were  sent  free  of  charge  to  the  U.  S.  Chil- 
dren's Bureau  and  the  Children's  Book 
Week  Committee. 

Pictures.  The  picture  collection  which 
is  maintained  primarily  for  publicity  pur- 
poses has  been  augmented  during  the  year 
and  the  pictures  have  been  used  for  ex- 
hibition, for  reproduction  in  books,  maga- 
zines and  newspapers  and  in  various  other 
ways. 

Lantern  Slides.  More  than  one  hundred 
lantern  slides  have  been  made  or  collected 
for  use  wherever  they  are  needed.  At  the 
time  of  this  writing  the  slides  illustrating 
library  publicity  methods  are  being  used 
in  a  series  of  lectures  at  the  New  York 
State  Library  School,  and  the  slides  on 
children's  reading,  children's  library  work 
and  on  public  library  work  in  general  are 
being  used  by  a  commercial  club  which  is 
making  a  campaign  for  the  establishment 
of  a  library. 

Magazine  and  Newspaper  Publicity.  In 
this  field  the  following  items  are  men- 
tioned as  typical: 

Information  furnished  to  Country  Gen- 
tleman for  an  article  on  county  libraries, 
in  response  to  a  request.  Similar  informa- 
tion sent  to  several  other  farm  papers. 

Large  number  of  college  papers  supplied 
with  copy  on  librarianship  as  a  vocation. 

Notes  sent  frequently  to  school  and  li- 
brary periodicals. 

Article  on  hospital  libraries  furnished 
to  The  Nation's  Health,  in  response  to  a 
request;  also,  a  list  of  suggested  articles 
by  other  librarians  which  is  being  used  by 
the  editor  of  The  Modern  Hospital.

AMERICAN    LIBRARY    ASSOCIATION 


Arrangements  made  with  School  Life, 
issued  by  the  U.  S.  Bureau  of  Education, 
to  use  some  library  material  in  every  is- 
sue and  to  publish  a  special  library  num- 
ber in  March.  Articles  for  these  purposes 
are  being  assembled  by  A.  L.  A.  Headquar- 
ters with  the  co-operation  of  the  Commit- 
tee on  Education,  the  Publicity  Commit- 
tee and  the  School  Libraries  Section. 

Article  on  the  library  as  a  community 
center  has  been  sent  to  The  Community 
Center  in  response  to  a  request,  with  a 
suggested  list  of  articles  on  similar  sub- 
jects by  other  librarians. 

Circularized  entire  mailing  list  of  house 
organs  in  the  United  States  with  sugges- 
tions for  a  special  book  and  library  num- 
ber. Later  sent  articles  to  some  in  re- 
sponse to  specific  requests. 

Co-operated  with  state  librarian  of  Cali- 
fornia in  editing  a  special  county  library 
number  of  the  Sierra  Educational  News. 

Arranged  for  the  publication  of  A.  L.  A. 
lists  and  other  book  and  library  publicity 
material  and  of  many  conference  papers 
in  various  magazines. 

Worked  with  the  Publicity  Committee 
for  more  extensive  conference  publicity. 

All  of  the  above  in  close  co-operation 
with  the  chairman  of  the  Publicity  Com- 
mittee and  with  others  interested. 

Books  for  the  Blind.  The  Booklist  of 
Revised  Braille,  the  fifth  number  of  which 
has  been  issued,  lists  64  books  which  have 
been  brailled  through  the  instrumentality 
of  the  American  Library  Association  since 
the  work  began.  Others  are  in  press.  This 
work  is  handled  by  the  Committee  on 
Work  with  the  Blind,  of  which  Mrs.  Rider 
is  Chairman. 

Office  Library  and  the  Storage  Room. 
Some  of  the  War  Service  files  and  much 
other  War  Service  material  which  has  been 
in  storage  for  several  months,  have  been 
moved  to  the  basement  of  the  Newberry 
Library,  through  the  courtesy  of  the  libra- 
rian and  trustees  of  that  library.  We  have 
also  stored  there  a  considerable  number 
of  publications,  reserving  at  the  A.  L.  A. 
Headquarters  office  a  small  working  sup- 
ply. 


This  has  made  possible  the  devoting  of 
a  larger  space  to  the  office  library  which 
has  been,  in  part,  tentatively  organized  and 
which  we  hope  eventually  to  build  up  on 
a  scale  that  will  be  somewhat  adequate  to 
meet  the  everyday  requests  for  informa- 
tion on  all  phases  of  library  work. 

Financial  Situation.  The  receipts  in  the 
General  Funds  and  the  Publishing  Funds 
have  been  larger  in  1921  than  in  any  pre- 
vious year,  due  to  increased  income  from 
sales  of  publications  and  increased  mem- 
bership. The  net  gain  in  receipts  from  the 
sale  of  A.  L.  A.  publications  for  1921  over 
1920  is  $7,665.42  or  49  per  cent.  The  gain  in 
receipts  from  membership  dues  is  $2,638.25 
or  nearly  23  per  cent.  But  the  needs  out- 
run the  income.  In  spite  of  the  reduction 
in  the  size  of  the  Proceedings  and  of  other 
economies,  and  of  the  unstinted  energy 
and  extra  time  put  in  by  the  staff,  we 
have  still  been  unable  to  do  in  a  satisfac- 
tory way  all  the  work  which  seems  to  be 
expected  of  the  A.  L.  A.  Headquarters 
Office. 

The  employment  work,  the  recruiting 
for  librarianship,  the  growing  activities  of 
the  committees,  the  increased  sale  of  pub- 
lications all  result  in  increased  work. 

The  growing  interest  in  the  establish- 
ment of  libraries,  especially  county  and 
school  libraries,  and  in  the  erection  of 
library  buildings  brings  increased  requests 
for  information  from  other  associations 
and  from  interested  individuals  who  are 
not  members  of  the  A.  L.  A.

OFFERED 

Denver  Public  Library,  Denver,  Colorado, 
has  four  complete  duplicate  sets  of  the 
Western  History  of  Hubert  Howe  Ban-

good  condition  and  bear  no  library  marks. 
Libraries  wishing  the  gift  must  pay  ex- 
pense of  cartage  and  transportation  and

The  report  of  the  United  War  Work 
Campaign,  Inc.,  September  30,  1921,  will 
be  of  interest  in  some  libraries.  Copies 
may  be  obtained  from  J.  I.  Wyer,  libra- 
rian, New  York  State  Library,  Albany. 


The  President  of  the  Library  Depart- 
ment of  the  National  Education  Associa- 
tion, Dr.  Sherman  Williams,  has  issued  a 
stirring  letter  to  State  Superintendents  of 
Public  Instruction  regarding  the  meeting 
at  Boston  next  July.  In  it  he  says: 

"It  is  hoped  that  a  campaign  will  be 
undertaken  that  will  not  cease  until  every 
one  in  our  country  has  ready  access  to  a 
free  library. 

"Our  country  like  all  democracies  is  in 
the  long  run  controlled  by  public  opinion, 
and  it  is  all-important  that  it  be  an  in- 
telligent public  opinion.  The  great  ma- 
jority of  our  people  have  to  leave  school 
young,  far  too  young,  and  they  must  rely 
very  largely  upon  the  use  of  libraries  for 
their  after  school  education.  What  under 
such  conditions  is  of  greater  importance 
than  numerous  and  well-supported  public 
libraries!" 


The  new  by-laws  provide  that  life  mem- 
bership dues  shall  hereafter  be  $50.00. 
Some  of  the  persons  who  became  life 
members  on  the  $25.00  basis  are  volun- 
tarily paying  an  additional  $25.00  as  a 
contribution  to  the  general  endowment 
fund  of  the  A.  L.  A.

THE  DETROIT  CONFERENCE,  JUNE  26-JULY 

r^LANS  are  being  made  for  a  big  con- 
F    ference    in    Detroit,    June    26    to    July 


1922 


in 

1,  with  headquarters  at  the  Hotel  Statler. 
There  will  be  five  general  sessions  and 
more  than  forty-five  meetings  of  sections, 
round  table  groups  and  of  affiliated  and 
other  national  organizations.  It  is  ex- 
pected that  the  conference  will  begin  with 
an  Executive  Board  meeting  on  Monday 
morning  followed  by  a  Council  meeting  in 
the  afternoon  and  the  first  general  ses- 
sion on  Monday  evening,  June  26,  and 
will  close  with  section  and  other  meetings 
on  Saturday  afternoon. 

GENERAL  SESSIONS 

At  the  first  general  session  on  Monday 
evening  it  is  expected  that  there  will  be 
greetings  from  Mayor  James  Couzens  of 
Detroit  and  John  C.  Lodge,  president  of 
the  Common  Council.  Dr.  M.  L.  Burton, 
president  of  the  University  of  Michigan, 
has  accepted  the  invitation  of  the  Pro- 
gram Committee  to  deliver  an  address  and 
this  will  be  followed  by  the  presidential 
address  of  Azariah  S.  Root.  After  the 
meeting  a  general  reception  will  be  held. 

The  second  general  session  will  follow 
on  Tuesday  morning,  the  general  theme 
of  the  meeting  being  A.  L.  A.  PUBLICATIONS. 
The  plan  is  to  have  a  talk  on  THE  POLICY 

OF  THE  A.  L.  A.  IN  THE  FIELD  OF  PUBLICA- 
TION followed  by  short  talks  and  informal 
discussion  on  what  needs  to  be  published 
and  the  usefulness  of  A.  L.  A.  publications 
from  the  standpoint  of  libraries  of  every 
sort. 

The  subject  for  discussion  at  the  third 


general  session  which  will  be  held  Wednes- 
day morning  will  be  BECBUITING  FOB  LI- 
BBABY  SERVICE.  Here  again  the  plan  is  te 
have  several  short  talks  by  people  who 
can  represent  every  kind  of  library  and 
almost  every  kind  of  work  In  a  library,  fol- 
lowed by  informal  discussion  of  the  need 
for  more  and  better  people  and  a  discus- 
sion of  the  methods  by  which  people  of 
ability  can  be  attracted  to  the  library  pro- 
fession. 

The  fourth  general  session  will  be  held 
on  Friday  morning.  Annual  reports  will 
be  presented  at  this  meeting  and  these 
will  be  followed  by  informal  discussion  of 
some  subject  based  probably  on  some  im- 
portant committee  report. 

The  fifth  general  session,  Saturday 
morning,  will  be  one  of  the  most  interest- 
ing and  important  of  the  week.  The  sub- 
ject is  THE  INDIVIDUAL'S  BESPONSIBILITY  TO 
HIS  PBOFESSION.  The  program  committee 
hopes  to  begin  this  meeting  with  an  ad- 
dress by  some  distinguished  speaker,  to 
have  it  followed  by  brief  talks  by  promi- 
nent librarians,  and  those  followed  again 
by  informal  discussion. 

COUNCIL  MEETINGS 
There  is  now  a  Council  Program  Com- 
mittee which  has  under  consideration  the 
subjects  for  discussion  at  the  two  Council 
meetings  which  are  planned  for  Monday 
afternoon  and  Wednesday  evening.  It  is 
probable  that  these  meetings  will  be  de- 
voted to  discussion  of  the  most  important 
of  the  committee  reports.  A  vote  of  the 
Executive  Board  provides  that  all  commit- 


BULLETIN 


35 


tee  reports  must  be  submitted  in  sufficient 
time  to  allow  for  their  distribution  to 
Council  members  well  in  advance  of  the 
first  Council  meeting  at  the  Annual  Con- 
ference. This  is  at  the  request  of  the 
Council  itself  and  in  order  that  the  Coun- 
cil may  intelligently  and  seriously  con- 
sider the  committee  recommendations  and 
so  prevent  filing  them  away  without  ac- 
tion when  they  call  for  action. 
AFFILIATED  ORGANIZATIONS,  SEC- 
TIONS, ROUND  TABLE  GROUPS 
American  Association  of  Law  Libraries 

The  annual  conference  of  the  American 
Association  of  Law  Libraries  for  1922  will 
be  held,  as  usual,  in  conjunction  with  the 
annual  meeting  of  the  A.  L.  A. 

The  committee  in  charge  hopes  to  pre- 
sent an  interesting  and  instructive  pro- 
gram. More  detailed  information  will  be 
given  in  the  next  issue  of  the  Law  Library 
Journal  and  the  A.  L.  A.  Bulletin. 

Suggestions  for  the  program  will  be  wel- 
comed by  the  President,  Gilson  G.  Glasier, 
State  Library,  Madison,  Wis. 

Important  business  matters  will  come  up 
for  solution  and  a  full  attendance  is  de- 
sired. It  is  especially  urged  that  mem- 
bers give  serious  consideration  to  the  prob- 
lems that  have  arisen  with  regard  to  the 
publication  of  the  Index  to  Legal  Periodi- 
cals as  outlined  by  the  committee  on  the 
Index,  particularly  on  pp.  79-80  of  the  Oc- 
tober issue  of  the  Law  Library  Journal; 
and  that  this  committee  may  have  the 
helpful  co-operation  of  the  members  in  at- 
tempting to  solve  such  difficulties. 

Agricultural  Libraries  Section 
In  accordance  with  instructions  given 
by  the  section  to  the  officers  last  year  two 
meetings  are  being  planned  which  are  ten- 
tatively scheduled  for  Tuesday  evening  and 
Friday  afternoon. 

Bibliographical   Society   of   America 

The  program  this  year  will  be  of  more 
general  interest  than  has  frequently  been 
the  case,  for  the  Society  will  discuss  the 
general  topic  of  THE  LIBRABY  RESOUBCES 

FOR  THE  HISTORY  OF  THE  GREAT  LAKES  RE- 
GION. All  librarians  know  something  of 
the  fascinating  history  of  this  region  and 
will  welcome  an  opportunity  to  learn  more 
about  that  history  and  about  the  historical 


resources  of  the  libraries  in  Michigan  and 
in  the  neighboring  states  and  provinces. 

Catalog  Section 

Two  meetings  are  to  be  held,  one  some 
time  Tuesday,  the  other  Friday  afternoon.

Children's    Librarians   Section 

Two  meetings  are  scheduled,  one  for 
Tuesday  afternoon,  the  other  for  Wednes- 
day afternoon. 

This  section  has  been  unusually  active 
since  the  meeting  at  Swampscott  and  the 
program  will  undoubtedly  reflect  some  of 
this  activity.  The  section  is  planning  a 
very  carefully  selected  exhibit  of  chil- 
dren's books,  a  list  of  which  will  be  avail- 
able for  distribution  to  those  who  attend 
the  conference. 

College  and  Reference  Section 

This  section  will  hold  one  meeting,  the 
time  of  which  has  not  been  definitely  de- 
termined. One  of  the  topics  for  discus- 
sion and  probably  the  main  topic  will  De 

THE     RANKING     OF     LIBRARIANS     AND     ASSIST- 
ANTS IN  COLLEGES  AND  UNIVERSITIES. 

League    of    Library    Commissions 

One  meeting  is  scheduled  for  Tuesday 
evening.  Another  meeting  of  the  members 
or  governors  of  commissions,  correspond- 
ing to  trustees  of  public  libraries,  will  be

Lending   Section 

Two  meetings  will  be  held,  which  at 
present  are  scheduled  for  Friday  afternoon 
and  Saturday  afternoon. 

Library  Buildings  Round  Table 
It  is  expected  that  another  meeting  of 
this  group  will  be  held  in  1922,  probably 
on  Wednesday  evening.  Willis  K.  Stetson 
of  the  New  Haven,  Connecticut,  Public  Li- 
brary is  in  charge. 

Librarians  of  Religion  and  Theology 
A   meeting   is    scheduled   for   Thursday

Omaha  presiding.  It  will  be  devoted  to 
papers  by  school  librarians  on  the  rela- 
tionship of  the  library  to  different  depart- 
ments of  the  school.  On  Wednesday  eve- 
ning there  will  be  some  special  speakers, 
including  Arthur  Pound,  the  Atlantic  con- 
tributor from  Flint,  Michigan.  The  third 
session  on  Friday  afternoon  will  be  a  round 
table  for  normal  and  elementary  school 
librarians,  with  Bertha  Hatch  of  Cleveland 
presiding. 

Small  Libraries  Round  Table 
A    meeting   is   announced    for    Tuesday 
evening. 

Special    Libraries  Association

not  yet  been  determined. 

Training  Class  Instructors

ning.

versity of  Michigan  Library,  Ann  Arbor. 
Persons  interested  in  this  conference  will 
leave  Detroit  early  Thursday  morning 
(ahead  of  the  special  train)  and  the  meet- 
ing will  adjourn  in  time  for  luncheon  at 
the  University  Union  with  the  A.  L.  A. 
party. 

Three  twenty  minute  papers  are  sched- 
uled, which  will  be  followed  by  informal 


discussion.  Arrangements  are  being  made 
by  Edith  Thomas,  in  charge  of  the  Library 
Extension  Service  at  the  University  of 
Michigan. 

Work  With  the  Foreign   Born 

In  response  to  numerous  requests,  ar- 
rangements have  been  made  for  a  round 
table  on  this  subject  under  the  direction 
of  the  A.  L.  A.  Committee  on  Work  with 
the  Foreign  Born,  Eleanor  E.  Ledbetter, 
chairman.  This  round  table  will  be  de- 
voted to  live  discussion  of  practical  prob- 
lems, and  the  committee  requests  inter- 
ested librarians  to  send  suggestions  as  to 
topics  to  the  chairman  immediately,  so 
that  those  of  most  general  interest  may  be 
chosen  for  presentation.  Address  Mrs. 
Eleanor  E.  Ledbetter,  Broadway  Branch, 
Public  Library,  Cleveland,  Ohio. 

HOTEL,  TRAVEL  AND  LOCAL 
ANNOUNCEMENTS 

In  addition  to  the  hotels  listed  in  the 
January  Bulletin,  the  following  are  rec- 
ommended to  members  of  the  Association. 
They  are  within  easy  walking  distance  of 
the  Hotel  Statler  which  has  been  chosen 
for  headquarters.  At  the  Statler  approxi- 
mately eight  hundred  delegates  will  be  pro- 
vided for. 

The  Madison-Lenox,  at  the  corner  of 
Madison  and  East  Grand  River  Avenues, 
state  that  they  will  reserve  rooms  for  100 
people  for  the  A.  L.  A.  The  rates  they 
quote  are  as  follows: 

Single  room  without  bath    $2.00 

Single  room  with  bath  $3.00,    3.50 

Suite  of  living  room,  bath  and  bed 

room $5.00,  $6.00  and    8.00 

Above  rates  are  for  single  persons;  for 
double  add  $1.00.  Reservations  must  be 
made  two  weeks  before  time  of  meeting  of 
conference. 

How  to  Make  Reservations 

Write  at  once  to  the  hotel  of  your  choice 
stating  the  kind  of  room  you  want,  and 
if  you  have  chosen  a  roommate,  indicate 
that  fact  giving  name  and  address. 

It  is  highly  important  that  reservations 
be  made  early  as  the  Detroit  hotels  are 
very  likely  to  be  crowded  during  the  time 
o£  the  conference.  If  the  hotel  to  which 
you  write  cannot  give  you  the  accommo- 
dations you  request,  the  hotel  manager 
will  turn  your  letter  over  to  Adam  Strohm, 


BULLETIN 


37 


secretary  of  the  local  committee,  or  to  his 
representative.  If  you  do  not  hear  from 
your  letter  within  a  reasonable  length  of 
time,  write  again. 

Travel    Notice 

The  Central  Passenger  Association  has 
authorized  fare  and  one-half  for  round 
trip  to  Detroit.  Other  passenger  associa- 
tions will  probably  follow  this  lead. 

There  will  probably  be  low  summer  ex- 
cursion rates  this  year  from  western 
cities  to  New  York,  Boston,  and  eastern 
seaboard  points.  These  rates  would  allow 
a  stop-over  in  Detroit  for  the  conference, 
and  tickets  could  be  routed  east  via  To- 
ronto and  Montreal.  (See  post  conference 
note  below.) 

There  is  no  longer  any  war  tax  on  either 
railroad  tickets  or  Pullman  berths. 

One-way  railroad  fares  and  lower  Pull- 
man rates,  from  principal  points  to  De-

New  England  Party.  From  Boston  an 
interesting  route,  for  those  not  caring  to 
go  direct,  is  via  Montreal  and  Toronto  — 
the  railroad  fare  is  the  same  but  the  trip 
takes  longer.  The  convention  rate  of  a 


fare  and  a  half  for  round  trip  would  prob- 
ably be  good  this  way,  provided  the  re- 
turn was  made  over  the  same  route.  From 
Buffalo  It  is  probable  that  the  steamer 
through  Lake  Erie  to  Detroit  may  be  sub- 
stituted for  the  train  Journey  if  desired, 
thus  making  a  cool  and  restful  night's 
trip  available  for  delegates  from  Washing- 
ton, Philadelphia,  New  York  State  and 
New  England  points.  The  question  of 
granting  convention  rates  this  way,  includ- 
ing steamer  trip,  is  now  being  considered 
by  the  railroads. 

It  is  proposed  to  run  personally  con- 
ducted parties  from  New  England  and  the 
North  Atlantic  states  to  Buffalo,  leaving 
Saturday  afternoon  or  evening,  June  24th, 
reaching  Buffalo  Sunday  morning,  June 
25th,  where  the  day  would  be  spent,  includ- 
ing a  visit  to  Niagara  Falls.  Leave  Buf- 
falo Sunday  evening,  either  by  steamer, 
or  by  rail,  due  in  Detroit  Monday  morning, 
June  26th. 

North  Atlantic  Party.  A  special  party 
will  be  organized  from  New  York,  Phila- 
delphia, Washington  and  Buffalo.  Arrange- 
ments for  special  Pullmans,  steamer  ac- 
commodations on  the  boat  from  Buffalo 
to  Detroit  will  be  announced  later. 
Charles  H.  Brown,  Bureau  of  Navigation, 
Navy  Department,  Washington,  D.  C.,  will 
be  glad  to  answer  any  inquiries  which  may 
be  received. 

The  following  are  the  round  trip  rates 
at  present  via  Buffalo  and  boat  to  Detroit, 
returning  all  rail.  These  round  trip  rates 
will  probably  be  greatly  reduced  by  sum- 
mer excursion  tickets. 
Washington  to  Detroit  via  Buffalo, 

returning  all  rail  $48.66 

Philadelphia  to  Detroit,  returning  all 

rail    50.31 

New  York  to  Detroit  via  Buffalo,  re- 
turning all  rail 50.51 

Middle  West  Party.  A  daylight  special 
train  is  planned,  leaving  Chicago  about  9 
a.  m.  on  Monday,  June  26th,  arriving  in 
Detroit  at  4:00  o'clock  p.  m.  in  time  to 
prepare  for  the  first  general  session  and 
reception  in  the  evening.  This  plan  ought 
to  be  attractive  for  middle  west  delegates 
and  the  Chicago  party.  Members  of  the 
Council  will  have  to  go  on  an  earlier  train 
if  they  are  to  reach  Detroit  in  time  for 
the  Council  meeting  on  Monday  afternoon.

AMERICAN  LIBRARY  ASSOCIATION 


It  has  been  suggested  that  a  boat  be 
chartered  by  the  Chicago,  Milwaukee  and 
other  middle  western  librarians  who  may 
wish  to  go  to  Detroit  by  the  water  route. 
A  boat  leaving  Chicago  in  the  late  after- 
noon of  Friday,  the  23rd,  stopping  at 
Milwaukee  Friday  evening,  would  arrive 
in  Detroit  in  time  for  the  Monday  meet- 
ings. This  would  give  an  opportunity  to 
spend  three  nights  and  two  days  on  Lakes 
Michigan  and  Huron.  Any  persons  inter- 
ested in  joining  such  a  party  should  com- 
municate at  once  with  John  F.  Phelan, 
Chicago  Public  Library,  member  of  the 
Travel  Committee  for  the  Middle  West. 

Post  Conference.  The  Travel  Commit- 
tee is  planning  a  post  conference  trip, 
personally  conducted,  leaving  Detroit  by 
sleeper  Saturday  night,  July  1st,  for  To- 
ronto, where  Sunday  would  be  spent  and 
Monday  until  4  p.  m.,  when  steamer  on

Recreation 

The  Board  of  Regents  of  the  University 
of  Michigan  has  extended  an  invitation 
to  the  American  Library  Association  to 
spend  one  day  of  the  week  in  Ann  Arbor, 
adding,  "The  University  will  be  delighted 
to  have  the  members  of  the  Association 
as  its  guests  at  luncheon  on  that  day." 
The  president  of  the  A.  L.  A.  has  accepted 
this  invitation  and  plans  are  being  made 
to  spend  most  of  Thursday,  June  29th,  in 
Ann  Arbor. 

It  is  expected  that  a  special  train  will 
be  run  from  Detroit  late  Thursday  morn- 
ing arriving  at  Ann  Arbor  in  time  for  a 
lunch  at  the  University  Union.  Follow- 
ing the  lunch  there  will  be  several  short 
talks  by  University  representatives,  after 
which  the  delegates  will  be  free  to  visit  the 
university  and  public  libraries  on  the  Uni- 
versity campus.  The  train  will  return  to 
Detroit  in  the  afternoon  starting  probably 
about  four-thirty. 

Dinner  Meetings 

Thursday  evening  is  set  aside  especially 
for  dinner  meetings,  although  some  other 
meetings  are  being  scheduled.  All  library 
schools,  alumni  associations  or  other

groups  wishing  to  arrange  dinner  meet- 
ings are  asked  to  communicate  at  once 
with  the  manager  of  the  Statler. 

Friday  evening  is  set  aside  for  a  boat 
ride  on  the  Detroit  River  and  Lake  St. 
Glair.  The  boat  will  be  big  enough  to  ac- 
commodate everybody  attending  the  con- 
vention and  a  variety  of  entertainment 
will  be  offered  on  board  by  the  local  and 
entertainment  committees. 

The  Society  of  Arts  and  Crafts  of  De- 
troit has  extended  an  invitation  to  those 
who  attended  the  A.  L.  A.  conference  to 
visit  the  building  of  the  society  while  in 
the  city  and  has  expressed  the  hope  that 
the  A.  L.  A.  will  permit  the  Society  to 
tender  a  reception  and  afternoon  tea  in 
the  auditorium  some  day  during  the  con- 
vention. 

"Beautiful  and  dynamic  Detroit"  is  the 
title  of  a  forty  page  booklet  issued  by  the 
Detroit  Convention  and  Tourists'  Bureau. 
It  tells  about  Detroit's  history,  industry, 
hotels,  parks,  roads,  rivers,  lakes,  libra- 
ries and  department  stores,  and  illustrates 
most  everything.  It  includes  a  map  of 
the  business  section  of  Detroit,  and  one 
of  most  of  the  State  of  Michigan. 

NEW  NOMINATIONS 

Some  persons  for  very  good  reasons  have 
declined  nomination  for  office  in  the 
A.  L.  A.  The  Nominating  Committee  has

NEW  COMMITTEES 

The  Committee  on  Union  List  of  Se-

port: 


At  a  meeting  of  Western  University  Li- 
brarians held  in  Chicago,  December  30th, 
Mr.  H.  W.  Wilson  presented  a  plan  for  a 
national  union  list  of  periodicals  to  be 
issued  in  part  on  a  subscription  basis 
similar  to  that  of  periodicals.  This  plan 
your  Committee  thinks  so  worthy  of  con- 
sideration that  we  endorse  the  recommen- 
dation of  the  librarians'  conference  that 
the  Executive  Board  appoint  a  committee 
to  advise  with  Messrs.  Wilson  and  Com- 
pany and  supervise  the  execution  of  the 
plan.  We  further  ask  to  be  discharged 
from  our  duties. 

CLEMENT  W.  ANDREWS,

READING  LISTS  AND  COURSES 


Reading  lists  are  little  catalogs.  Like 
the  special  catalogs  on  groceries  and 
ready-cut  garages  issued  by  mail  order 
houses,  they  give  special  information  to 
those  who  want  it,  and  in  convenient  form. 

But  they  are  more  than  catalogs.  They 
are  advertising  circulars,  so  planned  and 
printed  (usually)  that  they  will  serve  as 
invitations  to  the  folks  who  do  not  use  the 
library. 

As  catalogs,  given  out  to  people  who 
ask  for  them,  or  put  out  in  the  library 
where  readers  can  pick  them  up,  they  are 
useful,  for  they  give  more  information 
and,  if  well  prepared,  better  information 
than  the  library  assistant  can  take  time 
to  give  in  conversation;  but  their  usefulness 
is  much  increased  by  those  librarians  who 
can  get  most  of  the  copies  into  the  hands 
and  pockets  of  those  who  do  not  come  reg- 
ularly to  the  library. 

Business  books  for  profit  and  pleasure. 
just  issued  by  the  A.  L.  A.,  is  an  excel- 
lent list  for  outside  publicity.  It  lists  40 
books  which  are  suited  to  any  business 
and  any  locality,  compiled  by  Ethel  Cle- 
land,  Business  Branch,  Indianapolis  Pub- 
lic Library.  It  is  attractively  printed,  gen- 
erously spaced  and  easy  to  read.  A  fetch- 
ing little  cut  on  the  title  page  will  tempt 
any  business  man  or  woman  to  pick  it 
up  and  have  a  look  at  the  inside. 

Why  not  mail  copies  to  every  member 
of  the  largest  business  club  in  the  city; 
and  put  copies  beside  the  plates  at  the 
next  weekly  luncheon  of  the  Rotary,  Ki- 
wanis,  and  Lions  clubs,  or  mail  copies  to 
all  the  employees  of  the  biggest  business 
concern  in  town,  just  as  an  experiment? 

Useful  books  for  the  home  is  a  choice 
little  list  selected  by  The  Booklist  staff 
for  similar  use  among  women  whose  chief 
business  is  home-making.  It  includes  24 
titles,  interestingly  annotated,  and  might 
well  be  sent  to  every  woman  in  town 
who  is  not  on  the  library's  registration 
list — but  not  to  all  at  once. 

The  business  list  has  12  pages,  the  home 
list  8  pages.  Both  are  envelope  insert 
size.  Prices  on  Business  books  are  $3.00 
per  hundred,  $20.00  per  thousand.  Use- 


ful books  for  the  home  is  priced  at  $2.50 
per  hundred  and  $18.00  per  thousand. 

Booklist  books,  1921,  is  more  expensive 
but  is  being  bought  by  some  libraries  in 
quantities  for  free  distribution  or  sale  to 
borrowers.  Other  libraries  are  purchasing 
several  copies  for  circulation  and  for  the 
use  of  the  library  staff.  Prices  on  this  are 
reduced  this  year  to  25  cents  a  copy,  with 
very  generous  discounts  in  quantity 
orders. 

The  library  revenue  resolution  adopted 
by  the  A.  L.  A.  Council  at  the  mid-win- 
ter meeting  has  been  printed  in  large  type 
under  the  caption  What  is  a  reasonable  in- 
come for  your  library  f  Some  commis- 
sions are  buying  it  for  distribution 
throughout  the  state.  Prices  are  $6.00  a 
thousand,  $1.00  for  one  hundred  and  fifty 
copies. 

For  limited  free  distribution  as  an  aid 
in  recruiting,  the  A.  L.  A.  has  just  reprint- 
ed from  the  New  York  Evening  Post  an  in- 
terview with  John  Cotton  Dana.  The  title 
is  Library  work  for  young  men. 

Viewpoints  in  essays  (uniform  with 
Viewpoints  in  travel  and  View-points  in 
biography)  should  be  ready  shortly  after 
the  Bulletin  reaches  the  members.  The 
compiler  is  Marion  Horton  of  Los  Angeles. 

A  new  edition  of  the  A.  L.  A.  Manual 
chapter  on  Book  selection  has  recently 
gone  to  the  printer.  In  the  printer's  hand 
also  is  a  Graded  list  for  children,  compiled 
by  an  N.  E.  A.  committee  of  librarians  and 
teachers.  It  will  be  published  in  book 
form  at  perhaps  $1.25,  but  will  not  be 
ready  for  several  weeks. 

Short   Reading   Courses 

The  following  courses  have  been  issued 
by  the  U.  S.  Bureau  of  Education,  Wash-

of  any  character  so  long  as  the  courses 
are  brief,  will  confer  a  favor  on  the  edi- 
tors of  this  Bulletin  if  they  will  communi- 
cate with  A.  L.  A.  Headquarters  about 
such  courses.

IN  JANUARY  and  February  this  year, 
192  members  joined  the  A.  L.  A.  In 
the  same  months  of  last  year  the  number 
was  316.  If  we  are  to  equal  in  1922  the 
record  made  last  year — 629  new  members 
in  the  first  four  months — we  must  have 
437  applications  between  now  and  April 
30th.  And  why  not?  Are  there  not  thou- 
sands of  librarians  and  trustees  who  will 
join  when  they  have  a  personal  invitation? 


4  4  T  TSEFUL  books  for  business"  and  "use- 
LJ  ful  books  for  the  home"  are  the 
slogans  for  March  of  the  booksellers  and 
publishers.  Travel  week  is  to  be  observed 
in  New  York,  March  25-April  1.  Religious 
book  week  is  scheduled  again  this  year 
for  April  2-8,  and  back-to-nature  books  are 
to  be  emphasized  during  all  of  that  month. 

READING  lists  issued  by  the  Amercan 
Library  Association  within  the  last 
few  months  have  had  relatively  good  dis- 
tribution. Only  Children's  books  for 
Christmas  presents  has  sold  to  the  extent 
of  65,000  copies  but  others  have  run  into 
rather  large  editions.  The  advance  orders 
for  Business  books  for  profit  and  pleasure 


justify  a  first  printing  of  15,000  copies,  and 
the  orders  for  Useful  books  for  the  home 
have  led  us  to  print  10,000  on  the  first 
run. 

But  these  figures  are  pitifully  small 
when  one  remembers  that  there  are  more 
than  4,000  public  libraries  in  America 
which  might  use  these  co-operative  lists. 
The  Editorial  Committee  and  the  Execu- 
tive Board  believe  that  it  is  only  a  mat- 
ter of  a  few  months  until  such  lists  will 
sell  in  editions  of  fifty,  seventy-five  or  a 
hundred  thousand. 

The  lists  are  prepared  by  people  who 
know  the  subjects  and  know  the  needs  of 
libraries.  They  are  offered  to  libraries 
with  special  imprints  so  that  they  look 
like  a  home-town  product,  or  with  the  A. 
L.  A.  imprint  to  give  them  that  authorita- 
tive character,  if  it  is  desired.  They  are 
attractively  printed  and  sold  at  less  than 
it  would  cost  the  library  to  reprint  them 
in  similar  form. 

MANY  libraries  and  some  individuals 
have  placed  standing  orders  for  all  A. 
L.  A.  publicatiens.  In  that  way  they  get 
one  copy  of  everything  as  soon  as  it  is 
printed  and  can  make  prompt  and  intel- 
ligent decision  as  to  the  number  of  addi- 
tional copies  needed  for  the  staff  or  for 
public  distribution. 

A  CALIFORNIA  librarian  asks  whether 
f\  subscribing  libraries  are  entitled  to 
appropriate  The  Booklist  notes  for  public- 
ity purposes  in  local  newspapers  without 
quotations.  The  answer  is  yes;  the  notes 
are  not  copyrighted  and  should  be  used 
as  much  as  possible.  We  are  pleased  when 
a  footnote  is  added  to  the  effect  that  the 
notes  are  taken  from  The  Booklist  of  the

The  January  Bulletin  in  its  report  of 
the  mid-winter  meeting  of  the  League  of 
Library  Commissions  announced  E.  Kath- 
leen Jones  as  one  of  the  members  of  the 
committee  appointed  to  interest  members 
of  the  state  commissions  in  the  Detroit 
conference.  The  name  announced  should

FACTS  FOR  TRUSTEES 

LIBRARY    EXTRAVAGANCE* 

IS  NOT  the  average  human  being  worthy 
of  as  much  as  one  dollar  and  sixty-five 
cents'  worth  of  book  privileges  a  year? 
Is  that  too  much  to  be  paid  for  all  the 
wealth  of  mind  and  heart  that  has  been 
stored  up  for  him  in  books?  A  waste  of 
public  money  to  spend  as  much  as  that,  in 
giving  each  person  this  essential  means 
of  continuing  a  life-long  education?  Can 
it  be  called  eccentric  for  any  community, 
which  spends  as  much  as  $40  or  $50  a  year 
for  the  elementary  education  of  each  of 
its  children,  to  spend  one-thirtieth  of  that 
amount  in  providing  the  means  of  utiliz- 
ing and  developing  that  education? 

What  other  institution  that  can  at  all 
compare  with  the  library  in  range  of  serv- 
ice can  fce  maintained  on  any  such  sum 
as  $1.65  a  year  for  each  of  its  possible 
beneficiaries?  A  church,  open  only  one  or 
two  days  a  week,  requires  and  receives 
an  average  of  from  $15  to  $20  a  year  for 
its  support.  More  than  $10  a  year  is 
spent  by  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  for  each  of  its 
members.  The  Boy  Scout  organization  re- 
quires $10  a  year  for  each  boy  benefited 
and  the  Girl  Scouts  about  $7.  Clubs,  fra- 
ternities, Masonic  bodies  spend  without 
thought  of  extravagance  from  $10  to  $50 
a  year  for  each  of  their  beneficiaries.  And 
yet  the  public  library,  providing  all  the 
conveniences  and  facilities  for  reading 
that  the  best  clubs  can  offer  and  vastly 
more  in  range  and  quality,  open  for  use 
every  day  and  evening,  offering  an  expert 
knowledge  and  service  in  the  adaptation 
of  books  to  human  need  that  the  most 
costly  club  and  the  most  costly  private  li- 
brary can  not  give — the  public  library,  of- 
fering all  this  to  each  reader  in  the 
community,  is  called  extravagant  in  spend- 
ing as  much  as  $1.65  a  year  for  each  of 
its  possible  users! 

Just  suppose  that  the  community, 
charged  with  this  extravagance,  should  ac- 
cept this  judgment,  tiring  of  this  waste, 
and  should  close  the  library,  leaving  or 
putting  in  each  man's  pocket  the  $1.65  a 
year  that  the  library  had  cost,  to  be  spent 
on  books  for  himself.  He  could  then  for 
this  amount  have  just  one  book  a  year, 


and  in  the  course  of  a  lifetime  of  expendi- 
ture at  this  rate,  he  might  have  forty  or 
fifty  of  his  own.  It  would  take  five  or 
ten  years  to  secure  the  benefit  of  a  good 
dictionary  and  more  than  a  whole  lifetime 
to  secure  a  first-class  cyclopedia.  To  have 
what  he  now  has  in  the  public  library 
would  cost  him  more  than  a  thousand 
times  the  $1.65  that  is  now  being  paid  on 
his  account;  or  in  other  words,  the  pub- 
lic library  is  multiplying  a  thousand  fold 
the  value  of  his  proportion  of  cost. 

Instead  of  being  an  extravagance,  it  rep- 
resents the  most  astonishing  bit  of  econ- 
omy to  be  found  in  the  entire  range  of 
his  expenditures  or  investments.  In  real- 
ity, the  city  which  is  truly  guilty  of  ex- 
travagance in  the  compulsion  it  puts  upon 
its  citizens  is  the  one  that  inadequately 
supports  its  library,  compelling  vast  num- 
bers of  its  people  either  to  go  without  the 
benefits  of  desired  reading  or  to  pay  for 
that  reading  ten  to  fifty  times  what  it 
would  cost  them  if  provided  in  their  li- 
brary.

Let  Him  Who  Readeth  Heed 

I 

The  purpose  of  the  AMERICAN  LIBRARY  ASSOCIATION — to 
foster  the  development  of  libraries  and  promote  the  use  of 
books — can  only  be  fully  accomplished  by  the  loyal  support 
of  all  members  of  the  library  profession  and  by  the  participa- 
tion of  all  in  the  affairs  of  this  our  own  organization. 

i 

Each  library  and  each  librarian  should  make  such  con- 
tribution to  the  Association  as  is  consistent  with  the  oppor- 
tunities afforded  to  each  for  receiving  from  the  Association 
the  assistance  adapted  to  professional  needs. 

The  American  Library  Association  includes  in  one  all- 
American  professional  fellowship  many  associations,  institu- 
tions, organizations  and  individuals  interested  and  engaged  in 
every  phase  of  library  work. 

Through  this  community  of  interest  the  A.  L.  A.  brings  to 
its  members  the  strength  which  results  from  united  effort,  the 
power  which  arises  from  consensus  of  opinion,  and  the  knowl- 
edge which  comes  from  interchange  of  thought. 

Every  new  member  makes  the  Association  richer  in  this 
strength,  power  and  knowledge.  Every  new  member  interested 
in  the  same  phases  of  library  service  as  yourself  adds  vitally 
to  the  help  which  the  A.  L.  A.  can  give  you  individually.  Urge 
your  colleagues,  friends  and  assistants  to  join.

A.  L.  A.  FORTY-FOURTH  ANNUAL  CONFERENCE 

DETROIT 


JUNE    26— JULY    1,    1922 
GENERAL    ANNOUNCEMENT 


THE  conference  at  Detroit  will  be  a 
large  one.  More  than  1100  persons 
have  already  made  hotel  reservations  as 
against  375  at  this  time  last  year.  Yet  last 
year's  conference  was  more  largely  at- 
tended than  any  in  the  history  of  the  As- 
sociation. 

President  Burton  of  the  University  of 
Michigan  is  to  be  the  guest  of  honor  at 
the  opening  meeting  and  reception  Monday 
evening,  June  26.  The  other  principal 
speaker  that  evening  will  be  President 
Root  of  the  A.  L.  A.  Mayor  James  Couzens 
of  Detroit  and  Honorable  John  C.  Lodge, 
president  of  the  Common  Council,  will  also 
be  present  to  greet  the  delegates.  Mr. 
Harold  H.  Emmons,  president  of  the  De- 
troit Board  of  Commerce,  has  accepted  the 
invitation  to  take  part  in  the  conference 
program  and  will  speak  Saturday  on  the 
individual's  duties  to  his  profession. 

Detroit's  central  location  and  the  re- 
duced railway  rates  offered  this  season  to 
A.L.A.  members  will  make  attendance 
practicable  for  many;  and  the  opportunity 
of  reaching  Detroit  by  water  either  from 
the  East  or  West  will  make  the  trip  as  well 
as  the  objective  desirable.  The  city's  hotel 
facilities  are  exceptional.  The  conference 
committees  are  making  every  effort  for  the 
success  of  the  conference  and  for  the  con- 
venience and  pleasure  for  those  who  attend. 

The  week's  program  includes,  besides  the 
first  general  sessions,  some  40  meetings  of 
sections,  affiliated  organizations  and  round 
table  groups,  which  will  touch  nearly  every 
phase  and  detail  of  library  work.  The 
schedule  of  meetings  appears  on  p.  48. 
Time  for  recreation  will  also  be  well  taken 
care  of.  The  Entertainment  Committee 


plans  among  other  things,  an  evening  boat 
ride  on  Lake  St.  Clair.  All  day  Thursday 
will  be  set  aside  for  a  trip  to  Ann  Arbor 
where  the  visiting  librarians  will  be  guests 
of  the  University  of  Michigan.  The  day's 
program  will  include  luncheon  at  the  Uni- 
versity Union,  followed  by  short  addresses, 
a  visit  to  the  new  university  library  and 
other  university  buildings,  and  an  organ 
recital. 

The  new  Public  Library  is  one  of  De- 
troit's attractions.  The  building,  erected 
at  a  cost  of  two  million  dollars,  is  beauti- 
ful and  appropriate  architecturally  and  its 
interior  is  made  unique  by  mural  decora- 
tions of  Gari  Melchers,  and  Edwin  H. 
Blashfield.  The  building  was  dedicated 
less  than  a  year  ago  and  the  staff  is  very 
glad  to  offer  its  hospitality  to  visiting  li- 
brarians at  the  conference. 

The  Travel  Committee  has  planned  two 
post  conference  excursions,  one  through 
the  Soo  to  Duluth,  the  other  to  Toronto, 
the  Thousand  Islands  and  Montreal,  which 
will  round  out  a  vacation  trip  to  any  one's 
satisfaction. 


Richard  F.  Bach,  extension  secretary  of 
the  American  Federation  of  Arts  (address 
Metropolitan  Museum,  New  York)  sug- 
gests the  following  topics  for  considera- 
tion at  some  section  or  round  table 
meetings:  The  relation  of  the  library  to 
industrial  art  production,  and  The  im- 
portance of  the  exhibition  room  as  a  part 
of  the  library  in  small  communities. 

He  hopes  that  some  groups  will  think  it 
desirable  to  include  these  topics  on  their 
Detroit  program.

Monday  afternoon,  June  26  and  Wednesday  evening,  June  28 


Josephine  A.  Rathbone,  of  Pratt  Insti-

one  of  the  sessions  on  the  standardiza-

be  considered  final,  the  Committee  dis- 
charged and  the  central  office  of  the  Amer- 
ican Library  Association  take  measures 
necessary  to  officialize  sponsorships  to  at 
least  a  hundred  in  number,  during  the  year 
beginning  July  1,  1922." 

The  Committee  on  Library  Training 
urges  discussion  and,  if  possible,  action  on 
its  recommendations: 

That  the  regular  library  school  offer 
summer  school  courses  in  special  subjects, 
for  which  the  same  credit  be  given  as  for 
equivalent  courses  in  the  regular  schools; 

That  correspondence  courses  be  offered 
in  certain  branches  by  some  schools,  with 
credit; 

That  the  various  schools  adopt  a  uniform 
system  of  credits. 

The  Committee  on  Work  with  the  For- 
eign Born  has  presented  some  "general 
conclusions"  which  might  well  be  consid- 
ered as  a  basis  for  an  A.L.A.  platform  on 
work  with  the  foreign  born. 

The  Committee  on  Salaries  suggests 
that  the  Council  discuss  the  advisability  of 
setting  up  an  A.L.A.  standard  for  a  mini- 
mum beginning  salary  for  trained  library 
assistants. 

The  Committee  on  Reciprocal  Relations 
recommends  (1)  That  the  A.L.A.  co-operate 
to  the  fullest  possible  extent  with  the 


American  Press  Association,  made  up  of 
representatives  of  weekly  newspapers  in 
the  United  States  in  order  to  further  the 
county  library  movement;  (2)  That  the 
A.L.A.  seek  reciprocal  relations  with  the 
American  Farm  Bureau  Federation  and  se- 
cure the  active  aid  and  support  of  this 
strong  organization  in  the  interest  of 
furthering  the  movement  of  the  county 
library;  (3)  That  the  A.L.A.  establish  close 
alliance  with  the  Booksellers'  Association 
and  the  National  Association  of  Book  Pub- 
lishers and  provide  A.L.A.  speakers  for 
their  programs  from  time  to  time.  It  also 
believes  that  the  importance  of  a  public 
library  as  a  function  of  municipal  govern- 
ment still  needs  to  be  impressed  on  muni- 
cipal executives  and  suggests  that  a  show- 
ing at  a  conference  of  mayors  would  be 
valuable. 

Recommendations  for  the  consideration 
of  the  'Council  are  also  being  made  by  the 
committee  on  membership. 

(These  and  other  committee  reports  will 
be  in  print  by  May  26th,  and  will  be 
mailed  to  members  of  the  Council.  Copies 
will  be  available  for  distribution  to  mem- 
bers of  the  Association  at  the  Detroit  Con- 
ference and  the  reports  will  be  reprinted 
with  the  Proceedings.) 


The  County  Library  Committee  is  ar- 
ranging for  a  talk  on  national  county  li- 
braries to  be  broadcasted  by  the  Detroit 
News  radio  and  to  be  received  at  the  Con- 
ference auditorium  one  evening  of  the 
week.

TRAVEL  ANNOUNCEMENTS 


SPECIAL   RATES 

A  special  convention  rate  of  a  fare  and 
one-half  for  round  trip  to  Detroit  has  been 
granted  by  all  railroads  east  of  the  Rocky 
Mountains  in  the  United  States  and  east 
of  Fort  William  in  Canada. 

To  secure  this  rate  delegates  must  plan 
to  return  home  over  the  same  lines  by 
which  they  go,  and  must  reach  destination 
returning  before  midnight  of  July  llth  (ex- 
cept those  from  points  in  Colorado,  Idaho, 
Montana,  Utah,  New  Mexico  and  Wyoming, 
who  will  have  a  return  limit  of  midnight, 
July  12th). 

This  reduced  round  trip  convention  rate 
can  only  be  secured  by  presenting  to  ticket 
agent  an  "identification  certificate"  which 
will  be  mailed  to  any  member  planning  to 
attend  the  meeting  if  request  is  made  for 
it  to  A.L.A.  Headquarters,  78  E.  Wash- 
ington St.,  Chicago.  Get  this  identification 
certificate  at  once,  it  costs  you  nothing. 
The  convention  round  trip  tickets  go  on 
sale  June  22nd  at  all  ticket  oflaces. 

As  there  may  be  various  reduced  fare 
trips  and  excursions  offered  by  railroads 
in  June,  we  advise  consultation  with  local 
ticket  agent  before  purchase  of  tickets.  Be- 
tween Buffalo  and  Detroit,  railroad  tickets 
reading  via  Michigan  Central,  Wabash  or 
Grand  Trunk  Railway  will  be  accepted  in 
either  direction  on  the  steamers  of  the 
Detroit  and  Cleveland  Navigation  Co.  (See 
details  below,  under  Special  Party  Travel 
and  make  reservation  of  stateroom  berth 
before  June  1  with  F.  W.  Faxon,  Boston 
17,  Mass.). 

Detroit  is  run  on  eastern  standard  time. 
Central  standard  time  is  given  by  the  rail- 
roads for  Detroit  and  West,  and  eastern 
standard  time,  which  is  one  hour  faster  for 
Windsor  and  all  points  east.

For  those  who  may  wish  to  proceed 
East  after  the  conference  from  Chicago 
and  other  middle  western  points  we  call 
especial  attention  to  the  possibility  of  a 
round  trip  rate  between  Chicago  and  New 
York  City  with  stop-over  at  Detroit,  and 
at  a  reduction  from  the  regular  fare.  There 
may  also  be  in  force  by  June  "circle 
tours"  east,  which  may  allow  a  route  via 
Toronto  and  Montreal  with  the  post  con- 
ference party,  and  return  direct.  Watch 
for  such  rates  either  to  Montreal  or  to 
some  eastern  resort  points  such  as  As- 
bury  Park,  Atlantic  City,  etc.  (For  route 
see  under  Post  Conference  Trip  below).

sending  him  the  amount  mentioned  be- 
low. Special  Pullmans  and  probably  a 
special  train  will  be  run  leaving  New  York 
City,  via  Lehigh  Valley  R.  R.,  from  Pennsyl- 
vania Station  at  8:10  p.  m.  standard  time 
(9:10  daylight  time),  Saturday,  June  24. 
From  Philadelphia,  Reading  Terminal,  8:40 
p.  m.  standard  time.  From  Washington, 
via  Baltimore  and  Ohio  R.  R.,  5:00  p.  m. 
From  Baltimore,  Camden  Station  5 : 55  p.  m. 
The  party  will  arrive  at  Niagara  Falls 
Sunday  morning,  June  25,  joining  the  Bos- 
ton party  after  breakfast,  visit  the  falls, 
take  the  wonderful  Gorge  trollep  trip  and 
sail  from  Buffalo  at  6  p.  m.  (7  p.  m.  day- 
light saving  time),  arriving  at  Detroit 
June  26,  9  a.  m.  eastern  time. 

The  Niagara  Falls  side  trip  will  add  but 
little  to  the  expense  and  it  is  believed 
that  the  members  will  be  glad  of  the  op- 
portunity. The  steamer  trip  from  Buffalo 
will  give  a  pleasant  variation  to  the  cus- 
tomary all  rail  travel,  as  the  steamers  are 
large  and  well  arranged. 

Members  of  this  party  from  New  York, 
Philadelphia  and  points  in  the  vicinity  of 
these  two  cities  are  advised  to  buy  the 
convention  round  trip  tickets  reading  Le- 
high Valley  Railroad — Michigan  Central 
Railroad.  (A.L.A,  identification  certifi- 
cate required.)  These  rail  tickets  are 
good  on  the  boat  and  may  be  used  re- 
turning either  by  boat  or  all  rail.  Those, 
however,  who  do  not  wish  to  return  to 
point  of  departure  by  July  11  or  who  wish 
to  return  by  some  southern  route  to  New 
York  or  take  post  conference  trip  are  ad- 
vised to  buy  one  way  tickets  to  Buffalo  or 
summer  excursion  tickets  to  Niagara  Falls 
and  return  via  desired  route.  Mr.  Brown 
will  arrange  party  boat  tickets  for  such 
members. 

Members  from  Washington  and  Balti- 
more are  advised  to  buy  summer  ex- 
cursion tickets  to  Niagara  Falls,  arranging 
with  Mr.  Brown  for  tickets  on  the  steamer 
from  Buffalo  to  Detroit.  From  Washington 
the  additional  charge  for  travel  to  Detroit 
via  Niagara  Falls,  Buffalo  and  the  boat  is 
about  $7.00  over  the  all  rail  route.  It  will 
give,  however,  a  pleasant  variation  with 
opportunities  for  sight  seeing  and  visiting 
en  route. 


Those  who  do  not  wish  to  spend  all  day 
Sunday  at  the  Falls  can  visit  in  Buffalo 
during  the  afternoon.  The  Public  Library 
and  the  Grosvenor  Library  will  be  glad 
to  welcome  all  members. 

Hand  baggage  will  be  delivered  directly 
to  the  boat  at  Buffalo  and  placed  in  the 
state  rooms  of  the  members.  Tags  will  be 
furnished  for  the  identification  of  such 
baggage.  The  Pullmans  are  switched  off 
at  Depew  and  run  directly  to  Niagara 
Falls  Sunday  morning  without  going  to 
Buffalo.  The  payment  includes  Pullman 
berth  to  Niagara  Falls,  breakfast  and  lunch 
at  Niagara  Falls,  the  Gorge  trip,  special 
trolleys  to  Buffalo  and  state  room  berth 
Buffalo  to  Detroit,  with  table  d'hote  dinner 
on  the  steamer  June  25th.  In  registering 
please  state  with  whom  you  wish  to  room 
or  if  you  prefer  that  some  one  be  assigned 
to  you.  The  state  rooms  on  the  steamer 
accomodate  two  people. 

New  York   and    Philadelphia 

Those  who  buy  through  rail  tickets 
will  send  Mr.  Brown  by  June  12th, 

including  lower  berth  on  train $11.10 

Including  upper  berth  on  train 10.35 

Those  who  buy  excursion  tickets  to 
Niagara  Falls,  or  one-way  tickets 
to  Niagara  Falls,  or  one  way  tick- 
ets to  Buffalo  and  desire  party 
ticket  on  the  boat  should  send  in- 
cluding lower  berth  on  train 17.10 

For  upper  berth  on  train 16.35 

If  trip  on  boat  Buffalo  to  Detroit  and  re- 
turn with  special  party  July  1  is  desired, 
send  $24.70,  or  $23.95  which  will  include 
steamer  transportation  and  berths  back  to 
Buffalo. 

Washington    and    Baltimore 
Members  from  Washington  or  Balti- 
more should  send  including  lower 
berth  on  train  on  through  Pullman 
Washington  to  Niagara  Falls. ...  .$11.85 
For  upper  berth  on  train 10.95 

The  above  amounts  include  all  meals  on 
Sunday,  Pullman  on  train,  one-half  state- 
room on  boat,  Gorge  trip,  trolley  from 
Niagara  Falls  to  Buffalo,  storage  and 
transfer  of  hand  baggage  at  Buffalo.  If 


BULLETIN 


59 


rail  tickets  are  bought  only  to  Niagara 
Falls  or  Buffalo  and  boat  tickets  are  de- 
sired from  Buffalo  to  Detroit  $6.00  should 
be  added  to  above  amounts  for  one  way 
boat  ticket  or  $11.50  for  round  trip  boat 
ticket. 

The  Lehigh  Valley  has  arranged  for  a 
buffet  lounge  car  from  New  York.  Special 
Pullmans  from  Philadelphia  and  Washing- 
ton will  be  transferred  to  the  special  train 
at  Bethlehem,  Pa.  at  10:36  p.  m.  The  cost  of 
the  day  at  Niagara  Falls,  including  meals, 
Gorge  trip,  etc.,  with  the  boat  trip  from 
Buffalo  to  Detroit  is  only  $5.00  more  than 
the  through  Pullman  would  cost  all  rail 
from  New  York  to  Detroit.  It  is  believed 
that  the  Niagara  Falls  trip  is  easily  worth 
this  small  difference.  It  is  hoped  that  as 
many  as  possible  will  take  advantage  of 
this  pre-conference  trip  arranged  by  the 
travel  committee.  It  is  very  important, 
however,  that  Mr.  Brown  be  informed  as 
early  as  possible  of  those  who  intend  to 
go  with  this  party.  Accommodations  on 
the  boat  will  be  sold  early  and  those  who 
leave  registration  until  the  last  week  will 
probably  be  unable  to  be  accommodated. 

NOTE:  Members  of  this  party  wish- 
ing to  take  the  post  conference  trip 
should  purchase  round  trip  tickets  to  Nia- 
gara Falls  and  specify  via  Toronto  and 
Montreal,  over  route  outlined  below,  or 
should  buy  one-way  ticket  to  Buffalo  only. 
(See  Post  Conference  Party). 

Alternative  route  from  Washington  and 
Baltimore:  Arrangements  will  also  be 
made  for  members  from  Washington  and 
Baltimore  who  wish  to  go  all  rail.  Special 
Pullmans  will  be  attached  to  the  12:18  p. 
m.  B.  &  O.  train  Sunday,  June  25,  from 
Baltimore,  1:22  p.  m.  from  Washington, 
arriving  Detroit  7:15  a.  m.,  Monday.  Res- 
ervation for  this  train  should  be  accom- 
panied with  check  for  $6.38  for  lower  berth 
or  $5.11  for  upper  berth  and  mailed  to 
Charles  H.  Brown,  Bureau  of  Navigation,

room  without  bath  at  hotels. 

Those  desiring  to  take  a  trunk  will  have 
the  use  of  it  at  all  hotels  en  route,  but 
transfers  of  a  trunk  between  Buffalo  and 
Montreal  will  add  $2.75  to  the  cost  of

From  Montreal  such  a  choice  of  routes 
is  presented  that  it  seemed  best  to  end 
our  party  trip  there. 

Many  will  desire  to  visit  Quebec,  and 
others  to  go  by  rail  direct  to  Boston  or 
New  York  City.  The  most  attractive  re- 
turn to  New  York  City  is  via  Lake  George 
to  Albany,  and  Hudson  River  Dayline  to 
New  York  City.  This  would  mean  a  night 
at  a  hotel  in  Albany. 

If  several  wish  this  return  excursion 
from  Montreal  to  New  York  Mr.  Brown 
will  conduct  it.

At  the  organization  meeting  of  the  A. 
L.A.  Unit,  Women's  Overseas  Service 
League,  a  resolution  was  passed  commend- 
ing highly  the  accomplishment  of  Miss 
Caroline  Webster,  library  specialist,  U.  S. 
Public  Health  Service,  in  directing  the  li- 
brary work  in  hospitals  during  and  after 
the  war.  A  letter  from  the  chairman  of 
the  unit  conveying  the  resolution  also  car- 
ried with  it  an  expression  of  interest  in 
the  work  now  and  of  desire  to  be  of  service 
at  any  time. 


It  is  suggested  that  members  attending 
the  Detroit  Conference  arrange  to  have 
letters  and  telegrams  sent  to  them  at  their 
Detroit  hotels,  and  not  simply  "care  A.L. 
A.,  Hotel  Statler,  Detroit."  Hotels  handle 
promptly  the  mail  and  messages  which 
come  for  their  registered  guests,  but  it  is 
always  difficult  for  the  members  of  the 
A.L.A.  Headquarters  staff  to  deliver 
promptly  the  communications  turned  over 
to  them  for  members  of  the  Association.

HOTELS  AND  OUTSIDE   ROOMS 

Hotel  announcements  were  made  in  de- 
tail in  the  January  and  March.  Bulletins. 
The  hotels  recommended  by  the  local 
committee  are: — Stabler  (Headquarters), 
Wolverine,  Tuller,  Charlevoix,  Addison, 
Cadillac,  Norton,  Madison-Lenox.  The 
rates,  European  plan,  are  from  $2.00  up. 

For  rooms  outside  the  hotels,  applica- 
tion should  be  made  to  William  Webb, 
Public  Library,  Detroit,  Michigan. 


DETROIT 

Detroit  is  a  city  which  has  clinging  to 
it  more  traces  of  an  historic  and  adven- 
turous past  than  is  usually  known.  Its 
French  origin  is  stamped  on  its  name  De- 
troit, the  Strait,  as  well  as  on  other  place 
names  in  the  vicinity — Grosse  He,  Grosse 
Pointe,  River  Rouge,  Bois  Blanc,  Beaubien 
St.,  St.  Antoine  St.,  etc. 

Though  it  is  known  most  widely  today 
as  the  center  of  the  automobile  industry, 
it  is  still  important  as  the  City  of  the 
Straits,  holding  a  'strategic  position  on  the 
important  waterways  of  the  Great  Lakes, 
for  which  the  French  and  Indians  and  the 
English  fought  bloody  battles  in  the  past. 
Through  this  strait  went  the  canoes  and 
sailing  vessels  of  voyageur  and  explorer, 
where  now  pass  the  heavily  loaded  freight- 
ers which  carry  raw  materials  and  finished 
products  from  West  to  East,  and  from  East 
to  West.  The  Strait,  now  the  Detroit 
River,  presents  a  busy  scene  in  the  sum- 
mer— a  changing  panorama  of  ferry  boats, 
freight  boats  and  passenger  boats.  The 
Great  Lakes  voyages  on  comfortable 
steamers  through  the  Detroit  River,  the 
St.  Glair  Flats  and  the  Soo  to  Duluth  at- 
tract many  travelers. 

To  the  visitor  with  the  tourist's  eye, 
Detroit  affords  the  spectacle  of  a  rapidly 
grown  city,  with  a  population  that  more 
than  doubled  in  the  last  decade,  bringing  it 
up  to  the  fourth  city  in  size — busy  streets 
crowded  with  motors,  huge  and  diversified 
industries,  beautiful  residences,  parks  and 
waterways. 

Besides  its  internationally  known  motor 
factories,  it  has  its  adding  machine  works, 


LOCAL  INFORMATION 

its  stove  works,  its  important  chemical  and 
drug  industries. 

It  stands  at  the  gateway  to  vacation 
resorts  in  the  Great  Lakes  states  and 
Canada  which  may  be  reached  by  boat  or 
train  from  Detroit.  The  shores  of  the 
lakes  are  fringed  by  well-known  summer- 
ing places,  such  as  Charlevoix,  Petoskey, 
Mackinac  Island,  St.  Ignace,  Les  Cheneaux 
Islands  and  others.  A  variety  is  accessible, 
ranging  from  the  well-appointed  summer 
resort  to  the  camp  or  hunting  lodge  in  the 
woods  for  roughing  it.

The  Local  Committee  has  been  at  work 
for  some  time  arranging  for  the  pleasure

arranged  with  the  Studebaker  Corporation 
for  cars  to  meet  the  9  o'clock  boat  from 
Buffalo  on  Monday  morning  on  which  the 
conducted  party  from  the  East  will  arrive. 
This  is  the  courtesy  of  the  Studebaker 
Corporation  to  the  conference.  This 
committee  will  maintain  a  booth  at  the 
Michigan  Central  Station  to  assist  those 
arriving  by  train. 

Rates  from  D.  &  C.  boats  or  Union 
Depot  to  downtown  hotels  are  3'5c  to  46c 
per  person  and  20c  for  each  additional

desk  on  the  ball  room  floor  of  the  Hotel 
Statler.  From  8  o'clock  in  the  morning 
until  11  o'clock  at  night  some  one  will  be 
in  charge  to  dispense  information  about 
the  city  and  the  conference.  They  will 
take  charge  of  appointments  for  meetings 
for  members  of  the  conference.  It  is 
hoped  that  members  will  avail  themselves 
of  this  service  to  arrange  interviews  with 
other  members  or  visitors. 

Excursions 

During  the  convention  week,  the  local 
committee  has  arranged  for  excursions  to 
points  of  interest  in  the  city — the  Ford 
factories  and  other  industrial  centers  and 
the  more  beautiful  residential  suburbs. 
Boy  'Scouts  will  assist  the  Information 
committee  in  directing  and  guiding  vis- 
itors. A  number  of  automobile  convey- 
ances will  be  available  for  drives  around 
the  boulevards  and  parks. 

Ferry  boats  ply  between  Detroit  and  the 
old  Canadian  city  of  Windsor,  Ontario. 
Tourists  to  Detroit  usually  take  advantage 
of  the  fact  that  they  can  take  a  "trip 
abroad"  for  ten  cents.  In  a  few  minutes 
time,  one  can  step  upon  foreign  soil.

the  round  trip,  and  tickets  will  be  good  re-

BULLETIN 


A.  L.  A.  CONSTITUTION  AND  BY-LAWS 

Statement  by  the  Committee 


The  committee  urgently  recommends 
consideration  by  the  Association  of  its 
proposed  amendments  to  the  present  con- 
stitution as  presented  in  its  report  of  1921. 
On  account  of  lack  of  time,  these  recom- 
mendations were  not  considered  at  the 
Swampscott  meeting.  Some  of  the  present 
By-Laws  were  framed  with  a  view  to  the 
adoption  of  these  amendments,  and  the 
committee  believes  they  would  operate  more 
satisfactorily  with  a  revised  constitution. 

The  committee  recommends  one  change 
in  the  present  By-Laws;  namely,  the  omis- 
sion of  the  second  sentence  of  paragraph 
three  of  section  11.  This  paragraph  would 
then  read:  "Chapters  may  admit  members 
who  are  not  members  of  the  A.L.A."  The 
omitted  sentence,  "These  members  shall 
not  be  counted  in  determining  the  appoint- 
ment of  delegates  to  the  A.L.A.  Council" 
was  drafted  to  fit  a  provision  for  propor- 
tional representation  in  the  Council  in  the 
amendment  to  the  constitution  recom- 
mended by  the  former  report  of  the  com- 
mittee. It  can  be  restored  to  the  By-Laws 
at  any  time  when  the  amendment  shall  be 
adopted. 

Two  important  changes  in  the  By-Laws 
have  been  suggested  to  the  committee.  The 
Secretary  of  the  A.L.A.  reports  that  sev- 
eral members  of  the  Association  have  ex- 
pressed preference  for  a  flat  $3.00  individ- 
ual membership  fee  for  annual  dues.  The 
number  making  the  suggestion  is  so  small 
— probably  not  more  than  one-half  of  one 
per  cent  of  the  total  membership — that  the 
committee  does  not  feel  justified  in  recom- 
mending this  change.  Upon  review  of  the 
discussion  of  the  matter  of  annual  dues  at 
Swampscott,  one  will  recall  that  this  fee 
of  $3.00  was  carefully  considered  by  the 
Association,  and  by  a  considerable  majority 
voted  down.  In  view  of  the  Secretary's 
report  to  the  committee  that  about  one- 
third  of  the  members  are  voluntarily  pay- 
ing the  $4.00  fee,  and  that  the  present  scale 
of  dues  has  probably  increased  the  receipts 
for  the  Association,  the  committee  recom- 
mends that  no  change  at  present  be  made 
in  the  dues  for  individual  members. 

At  the  last  mid-winter  meeting  of  the 


Council  there  was  adopted  on  the  motion 
of  Carl  B.  Roden,  chairman  of  the  Com- 
mittee on  Committees,  the  following  reso- 
lutions: 

Resolved,  That  the  Council  transmit  to 
the  Executive  Board  the  accompanying  re- 
port of  the  Committee  on  Committees,  to- 
gether with  the  following  recommendations: 

1.  That    the    observations    and    conclu- 
sions  concerning  the   several   committees, 
embodied   in  the  report,  be  considered  in 
detail    with    a    view    to    determining    the 
proper    status    of   each   as   a   standing   or 
specific  committee. 

2.  That  a  by-law  be  formulated  and  sub- 
mitted   to    the    Association    for   adoption, 
creating  and  enumerating  the  several  com- 
mittees to  be  known  as  standing  commit- 
tees   of    the    A.L.A.    and    defining    their 
powers,  duties  and  jurisdiction. 

3.  That   the   committees   heretofore  ap- 
pointed by  the  Council,  or  by  the  Presi- 
dent upon  request  of  the  Council,  which 
are  listed  among  committees  of  the  Asso- 
ciation and  are  performing  duties  or  ex- 
ercising powers  for  and  in  behalf  of  the 
Association,   be   reconstituted,   reorganized 
or    reappointed    by    the   Executive    Board, 
either  as  standing  or  special  committees, 
or  that  they  be  merged  with  other  exist- 
ing   committees    or    discontinued,    as    the 
Executive  Board  may  determine.     And  be 
it  further 

Resolved,  That  committees  created  by 
the  Council,  or  by  its  presiding  officer  upon 
request  of  the  Council,  are  limited,  as  to 
functions,  to  consideration  of,  or  assistance 
in,  the  business  of  the  Council. 

The  purpose  of  the  resolutions  was  to 
make  provision  in  the  By-Laws  for  clearer 
definition  of  the  A.L.A.  committees,  and 
to  prevent  duplication  of  the  work  of  com- 
mittees, and  especially  of  committees  of 
the  Association  and  the  Council. 

In  the  discussion  of  this  resolution  Mr. 
Roden  stated  that  he  was  not  present  at 
the  Swampscott  meeting,  and  that  he  had 
not  sudied  carefully  the  new  By-Laws.  Sec- 
tion 18  of  the  By-Laws  was  drawn  with 
great  care  after  consultation  with  Miss 
Tyler,  then  President,  to  remedy  confusion 
that  Mr.  Roden  found  existing.  As  a 
matter  of  fact,  it  was  Miss  Tyler  who  ap- 
pointed the  Committee  on  Committees  of 
which  Mr.  Roden  is  chairman.  Instead  of 
naming  standing  committees  and  defining 
their  duties,  it  was  considered  better  to 
let  the  Executive  Board  and  the  Committee 


66 


AMERICAN    LIBRARY    ASSOCIATION 


on  Committees  do  this.  Conditions  are 
likely  to  change  so  that  a  change  in  stand- 
ing committees  will  be  desirable.  If  com- 
mittees are  named  and  defined  in  the  By- 
Laws,  each  change  in  a  committee  will 
necessitate  a  revision  of  the  By-Laws.  The 
committee  feels  that  the  desired  reform 
has  been  better  provided  for  in  the  present 
By-Laws,  and  recommends  that  it  stand. 

The  second  resolution;  viz.: 

Resolved.  That  committees  created  by 
the  Council,  or  by  its  presiding  officer  upon 
the  request  of  the  Council,  are  limited,  as 
to  functions,  to  consideration  of,  or  assist- 
ance in,  the  business  of  the  Council, 
has  not  been  so  clearly  covered  by  the 
By-Laws.  The  sense  of  the  resolution  that 
there  should  not  be,  for  example,  a  commit- 
tee of  the  Association  and  another  of  the 
Council  at  the  same  time  to  investigate  and 
consider  library  revenues  seems  reasonable. 
As  the  reports  of  all  Association  commit- 
tees are  presented  to  the  Council  for  con- 
sideration, and  since  the  Council  may  re- 
quest the  Executive  Board  to  appoint  any 
new  committee,  there  need  not  be  commit- 
tees of  the  Council  to  conduct  investigation. 
According  to  the  Constitution  the  Executive 
Board  appoints  all  committees.  For  the 
sake  of  clearer  definition,  therefore,  it 
seems  wise  to  the  committee  to  recommend 
the  adoption  of  this  resolution  as  an  addi- 
tional paragraph  to  Section  18  of  the  By- 
Laws. 

One  member  of  the  Association  has  sug- 
gested that  all  chairmen  of  standing  com- 
mittees of  the  Association  shall  be  ex-officio 
members  of  the  Council,  on  the  ground  that 
since  the  Council  is  the  policy  making  body 
of  the  Association,  committee  chairmen 
should  have  the  benefit  of  close  association 
with  the  Council  and  a  voice  in  its  execu- 
tive sessions.  Although  the  committee 
admits  the  advantages  of  the  suggestion, 
it  hesitates  on  account  of  increasing  the 
size  of  the  Council,  to  recommend  this 
change.  It  prefers  to  let  the  suggestion 
come  from  the  membership  of  the  Asso- 
ciation at  large. 

Respectfully  submitted, 
HENBY  N.  SANBORX,  Chairman, 
MALCOLM  G.  WYEB, 
M.  S.  DUDGEON.

A.  L.  A.  READING  COURSES 

Why    Courses    Are    Needed 


We  believe  that  in  every  community 
there  are  men  and  women  who  would  like 
to  undertake  definite  courses  of  reading; 
that  the  individual  who  goes  to  the  library 
for  advice  on  a  course  of  reading  fre- 
quently fails  to  get  all  the  advice  and  help 
he  wants,  because  the  assistant  is  not  an 
expert  on  the  subject  in  which  he  is  in- 
terested, or  because  she  cannot  give  suffi- 
cient time  to  any  one  inquirer  to  do  the 
subject  justice.  Yet  we  believe  that  per- 
sons making  inquiries  of  this  sort  deserve 
more  help  than  any  other  class  of  readers. 

To  enable  even  the  smallest  library  and 
the  least  experienced  assistant  to  give  the 
best  advice,  we  have  begun  the  publication 
of  a  series  of  reading  courses.  Please  note 
that  these  are  more  than  reading  lists. 

It  is  our  plan  to  have  each  of  the  courses 
in  this  series  prepared  by  an  expert.  When 
you  put  a  copy  of  the  course  into  the  hands 
of  an  Inquirer  in  your  library,  you  will 
know  that  you  are  giving  that  inquirer  the 
very  best  advice  obtainable  anywhere.  Be- 
fore publication  all  courses  will  be  edited 
from  the  library  standpoint. 

The  courses  will  be  short,  limited  usually 
to  six  or  eight  books  when  such  limitation 
is  feasible.  They  will  be  revised  from  time 
to  time,  but  only  when  new  publications  in 
the  field  make  revision  necessary.  Each 
course  will  have  an  attractive  cover  design 
and  will  be  well  printed  on  good  paper. 

How    to    Use    the    Courses 

Keep  a  supply  at  the  delivery  and  refer- 
ence desks,  and  instruct  the  assistants  to 
give  them  out  to  persons  who  ask  for  in- 
formation on  the  subjects  covered  and  to 
others  who  may  be  interested.  Have  the 
courses  reprinted  in  full  in  the  newspapers. 
Advertise  the  fact  that  the  library  has 
these  courses  and  will  gladly  give  them  to 
anyone  on  request. 

Mail  copies  to  persons  In  your  com- 
munity who  are  known  to  be  interested  in 
the  subjects  (preferably  to  only  a  few  at 


a  time  unless  you  have  many  copies  of  the 
books).  Distribute  copies  at  meetings 
where  one  of  the  reading  course  subjects 
is  being  discussed.  Put  copies  into  the 
hands  of  students  who  are  interested  in  the 
vocational  and  other  subjects  covered. 

It  is  thought  that  the  above  uses  will 
be  as  appropriate  for  university,  college 
and  high  school  libraries  as  for  public  li- 
braries. The  distribution  of  the  courses 
is  in  itself  a  service,  even  if  the  books  can 
not  always  be  supplied  by  the  distributing 
agency. 

Some  library  commission  secretaries 
have  already  indicated  that  they  expect  to 
use  the  courses  as  publicity  for  traveling 
library  collections  as  well  as  for  the  guid- 
ance of  readers.  It  is  hoped  also  that  the 
courses  will  be  acceptable  to  bookstores, 
university  extension  departments  and  to 
trade  and  professional  organizations. 

What  better  thing  can  you  hope  to  do 
for  your  community  than  to  help  ambitious 
men  and  women  along  the  way  of  a  con- 
tinuing self-education?

AMERICAN    LIBRARY    ASSOCIATION 


TWO-FOOT  SHELF  FOR  A  COUNTRY  SCHOOL 


A  voting  contest  on  the  best  25  books 
for  a  two-foot  shelf  for  a  one-room  country 
school  will  be  held  at  the  A.  L.  A.  Detroit 
conference  in  June  and  at  the  N.  E.  A. 
meeting  in  Boston  in  July.  Miss  Marion 
Horton,  chairman  of  the  School  Libraries 
Section  of  the  A.  L.  A.,  is  in  charge  of  the 
contest  at  Detroit  and  Dr.  Sherman  Wil- 
liams, chairman  of  the  Library  Department 
of  the  N.  E.  A.,  will  direct  the  contest  at 
Boston. 

At  Detroit  ballots  will  be  distributed  the 
first  day  of  the  conference.  The  ballot 
will  consist  of  a  printed  list  of  probably 
100  selected  titles,  making  it  easy  for  the 
voter  to  check  the  25  he  prefers.  There 
will  also  be  extra  blank  spaces  in  which 
titles  not  printed  may  be  added.  All  books 
for  general  and  supplementary  reading  for 
children  in  grades  1  to  8  may  be  voted 
upon.  Encyclopedias  and  textbooks  are 
excluded  from  the  contest,  and  it  is  as- 
sumed that  every  school  possesses  a  Bible, 
and  a  dictionary,  so  that  these  also  will 
not  be  eligible  for  selection. 

The  winning  titles  will  be  announced 
after  the  conferences  in  order  that  people 
everywhere  may  know  what  books  are  con- 
sidered by  librarians  and  teachers  as  most 
interesting  and  useful  for  children  in  the 
elementary  grades.  If  possible  a  prelim- 
inary announcement  of  the  result  will  be 
made  before  the  conclusion  of  the  Con- 
ference. 

The  contest  is  planned  as  propaganda 
for  school  libraries.  Its  effectiveness  de- 
pends on  its  reaching  small  and  remote 
communities.  Librarians  can  do  a  great 
deal  for  the  success  of  the  scheme  by  giving 
it.  as  much  advance  publicity  as  possible 
in  their  own  towns.  A  good  way  to  do  this 
is  to  get  people  locally  prominent  in  edu- 
cational affairs  to  make  their  selection  of 


the  25  most  valuable  books  for  a  small 
school  library  and  publish  these  lists  in 
the  newspapers.  The  results  of  the  voting 
contests  at  Detroit  and  Boston  will  then 
be  of  much  greater  interest  and  news  value 
when  the  community  has  already  been  in- 
terested and  informed  on  the  subject.  The 
contests  will  thus  have  served  to  stimulate 
popular  interest  in  good  books  for  general 
reading  and  encourage  the  establishment 
and  development  of  school  libraries.

OPENINGS  IN  PUBLIC  HEALTH  SERVICE  AND  NAVAL  ES- 
TABLISHMENT 


tt  is  expected  that  a  new  civil  service 
register  will  be  established  in  May  for  va- 
cancies in  the  Naval  Establishment  and 
Public  Health  Service.  Written  examina- 
tion will  probably  be  waived,  applicants 
being  required  to  write  a  short  thesis  and 
fill  out  an  application  blank.  Positions  to 
be  filled  are  those  of  librarians  in  the 
Public  Health  Service,  naval  hospitals  and 
naval  and  marine  stations. 

Requirements  for  both  services  are  prac- 
tically identical  and  one  list  will  be  estab- 
lished to  fill  vacancies  in  either  service. 

Although  the  undersigned  cannot  speak 
with  any  official  sanction,  yet  we  person, 
ally  believe  that  library  service  as  estab- 
lished in  the  Public  Health  Service  and  the 
Navy  will  prove  permanent.  The  positions 


offer  opportunity  for  administrative  work, 
requiring  handling  of  personnel,  tact  and 
judgment  as  well  as  knowledge  of  library 
routine. 

The  undersigned  will  be  glad  to  answer 
any  questions  as  to  details.  Copies  of  the 
civil  service  announcement  of  examination 
will  be  forwarded  upon  request.  Copies 
may  also  be  obtained  when  printed  from 
the  oflices  of  the  Civil  Service  Commission 
in  the  various  cities.

LIBRARIANS  who  give  one  of  the  new 
A.L.A.  reading  courses  to  a  reader 
will  have  the  satisfaction  of  knowing  that 
they  are  giving  to  that  reader  the  same 
advice  he  would  get  in  a  half  hour's  per- 
sonal conference  with  one  of  the  leading 
specialists  in  that  subject.  It  will  be  ob- 
served that  these  courses  are  not  simply 
annotated  lists;  they  tell  the  students 
which  book  to  read  first  and  in  what  or- 
der the  others  should  follow — they  are 
real  courses  of  reading  for  men  and 
women  who  want  to  educate  themselves. 

MORE  newspaper  publicity  has  been 
given  during  the  last  few  months  to 
the  dollar-per-capita  statement  adopted  by 
the  A.L.A.  Council  in  December  than  to 
anything  done  by  the  Association  in  many 
months.  Thousands  of  copies  of  the  state- 
ment have  also  been  distributed  by  li- 
brary commissions,  especially  to  library 
trustees.  For  the  use  of  the  commissions 
and  of  libraries  the  statement  has  been 
printed  as  a  broadside  with  the  caption, 


What  Is  a  Reasonable  Income  for  Your 
Library?  The  printer  did  an  unusually 
good  job  and  used  a  good  paper.  The  re- 
sult is  an  attractive  broadside  which  will 
get  attention  in  anybody's  mail.  Copies 
will  be  supplied  at  a  nominal  cost:  $6.0(1 
per  thousand,  $1.00  for  150;  or  20  cents 
(in  stamps)  for  12.  Why  not  ask  the 
staff  and  the  trustees  to  make  up  a  mail 
ing  list  of  a  hundred  and  fifty  persons  in 
your  community  who  ought  to  be  told 
what  is  a  reasonable  income  for  youi 
library,  and  then  send. each  one  a  copy  ol 
this  statement? 

FOR  all  members  of  the  Association 
attending  any  regular  conference,  ex 
cept  those  members  who  have  paid  an  in 
itiation  fee  in  the  current  year,  there  shall 
be  a  registration  fee  of  one  dollar. — By 
Laws,  Section  1.  This  fee  will  be  col 
lected  at  the  registration  desk  where 
badges,  programs,  and  attendance  regis 
ters  are  given  out. 

Each  conference  costs  the  Associatior 
from  $1,000  to  $2,000.  The  purpose  of  th( 
registration  fee  is  to  place  the  burden  ol 
this  expense  on  those  who  attend  the  con 
ference  and  share  in  its  privileges  rathei 
than  on  all  members,  including  many  whc 
have  found  it  impossible  to  attend. 


THE  Annual  Reports  of  committees  are 
to  be  printed  and  distributed  to  mem 
bers  of  the  Council  before  the  end  of  May 
Copies  will  be  distributed  at  the  Confer 
ence  and  then  reprinted  with  the  Proceed 
ings. 

THE  best  25  books  for  a  two-foot  shell 
for  a  country  school  will  be  voted  upor 
by  those  who  attend  the  Detroit  Conferenc< 
and  at  the  N.  E.  A.  meeting  at  Boston  th( 
first  week  in  July.  Results  of  the  two  vot 
ing  contests  will  be  published  in  librarj 
and  educational  periodicals  and  in  th« 
press.  The  contest  will  be  valuable  ir 
helping  to  bring  the  school  library  idea  ef 
fectively  before  school  boards,  trustees 
public  oflicials  and  the  public  generally 
and  in  leading  country  school  teachers  tc 
demand  more  adequate  library  facilities.

BOYS'  BOOKS,  the  newest  A.L.A.  read- 
ing list,  is  in  great  demand  by  Rotary 
clubs  and  libraries  for  distribution  during 
Boys'  Week,  and  promises  to  have  a  steady 
year-round  popularity  also.  Sales  will  prob- 
ably have  passed  the  150,000  mark  before 
this  number  of  the  Bulletin  is  issued.  Boys' 
Books  was  compiled  by  Jessie  Gay  Van 
Cleave,  a  new  member  of  the  A.L.A.  head- 
quarters staff,  a  graduate  of  Pittsburgh  Li- 
brary School,  and  engaged  until  recently 
in  children's  work  at  the  Rosenberg  Li- 
brary, Galveston,  Texas.  Libraries  which 
place  standing  orders  for  all  A.L.A.  pub- 
lications will  receive  free  sample  copies  of 
new  short  reading  lists  as  they  appear. 

FIVE  thousand,  six  hundred  and  ninety- 
three    persons    and    institutions    were 
members    of    the    A.L.A.    on    April    30th, 
1922,  as  compared  with  5,093  on  April  30th, 
1921. 

OALES  of  A.L.A.  publications  in  the 
O  first  four  months  of  1922  have  been 
47.5%  greater  than  in  the  corresponding 
months  of  1921.  Receipts  from  member- 
ship dues  show  an  increase  of  20.6%. 

TEN  per  cent  discount  is  allowed  to  in- 
stitutional members  on  all  orders  for 
A.  L.  A.  publications  amounting  to  one

For  some  libraries  this  discount  more  than

fee. 


printed  this  year  in  some  number  of  the 
Bulletin.  It  is  probable  that  statistics 
will  be  printed  only  for  those  libraries 
which  are  institutional  members  of  the  A. 
L.  A.  Copies  of  the  blanks  will  be  sent 
on  request,  however,  to  any  library.  The 
Nebraska  State  Library  Association  has 
taken  over  a  few  hundred  copies  of  the 
blanks  for  distribution  to  every  library  in 
the  state.  All  libraries  are  urged  to  use 
this  standard  form  for  their  printed  re- 
ports in  order  that  statistics  of  various 
libraries  may  be  easily  compared. 

A  LETTER  came  to  A.  L.  A.  Headquar- 
r\  ters  recently  from  a  corporal  in  the 
U.  S.  Marine  Corps  stating  that  books  were 
not  available  to  the  men  in  his  station.  The 
matter  was  brought  to  the  attention  of  the 
proper  authorities  and  we  have  learned 
that  in  addition  to  a  smtell  deposit  collec- 
tion of  500  volumes  for  the  use  of  the 
men  in  that  particular  field  there  is  a  post 
library  of  10,000  volumes  about  one  mile 
away  with  trained  library  service.  From 
all  accounts  the  service  from  that  library 
is  maintained  on  a  much  more  adequate 
basis  than  in  the  average  town  with  a 
population  similar  to  that  of  the  camp. 

A  query  came  from  a  Marine  Corps  man 
in  the  Dominican  Republic  asking  where 
books  could  be  obtained,  and  we  have  been 
informed  that  four  books  per  capita  have 
been  provided  for  the  men  there  and  that 
shipments  of  250  new  books  are  made 
quarterly  by  the  Bureau  of  Navigation. 


MEMBERS  of  the  A.  L.  A.  are  urgently 
requested  to  report  changes  of  address 
to  A.  L.  A.  Headquarters  promptly.  This 
office  is  looked  to  for  correct  and  up-to- 
date  information  of  this  sort.  Obviously, 
we  cannot  give  out  up-to-date  information 
unless  the  members  themselves  keep  us  in- 
formed. 

T^WO  forms  of  statistical  blanks  have 
1  been  recommended  by  the  Committee 
on  Administration  and  have  been  printed 
for  distribution.  Duplicate  copies  have 
been  sent  to  all  institutional  members, 
which  are  asked  to  report  to  us  by  April  1st.

From  a  report  of  a  speech  by  Hugh  Wai- 
pole,  to  a  group  of  librarians  in  England: 

"He  instanced  the  attitude  of  the  Amer- 
ican public.  No  matter  how  small  the  town 
to  which  he  went  he  was  always  taken  first 
to  the  public  library,  which  seemed  to  be 
regarded  by  the  townsfolk  as  the  hub  of 
the  universe.  In  the  library  there  was  in- 
variably a  hall  with  flowers  and  pictures, 
and  a  screen  on  which  was  posted  all  the 
available  information  as  to  the  celebrity 
of  the  moment."

AMERICAN  LIBRARY  ASSOCIATION 

FACTS  FOR  TRUSTEES 


THE  Trustees  Section  of  the  American 
Library  Association  is  planning  a 
meeting  for  Tuesday  afternoon,  June  27th, 
at  Detroit.  F.  H.  Pettingill  of  Los  An- 
geles is  president.  Last  year  at  Swamp- 
Scott  the  meeting  was  attended  by  nearly 
a  hundred  library  trustees.  The  League 
of  Library  Commissions  is  arranging  for 
a  meeting  of  members  of  state  library  com- 
missions and  state  library  boards  on 
Wednesday  evening,  June  28th. 

INDIANA  has  just  completed  a  most  suc- 
1  cessful  library  publicity  week.  Almost 
every  known  method  of  advertising  and 
publicity  has  been  used  and  every  phase 
of  library  work  emphasized,  from  popular- 
izing reading  to  creating  a  public  senti- 
ment which  will  favor  increased  library 
support. 

The  idea  of  Indiana  Library  Week  orig- 
inated not  with  librarians,  but  with 
trustees.  The  suggestion  came  from  Ed- 
mund L.  Craig  of  the  Evansville  Public 
Library  Board  when  he  was  president  of 
the  Indiana  Library  Trustees  Association, 
and  has  been  carried  out  under  the  active 
leadership  of  that  Association.  Indiana  is 
looked  upon  as  one  of  the  best  library 
states  in  the  country,  and  there  is  no  doubt 
but  that  much  of  the  library  development 
in  that  state  is  due  to  the  Indiana  Library 
Trustees  Association  which  for  several 
years  has  been  holding  annual  meetings 
and  carrying  on  its  propaganda  and  Its 
activities  through  the  usual  channels. 

The  Trustees  Section  of  the  American 
Library  Association  was  organized  in  1890 
to  afford  an  opportunity  to  library  trustees 
in  the  United  States  and  Canada  to  do  a 
similar  work.  Meetings  are  held  annually 
in  connection  with  the  conference  of  the 
American  Library  Association  and  increas- 
ing numbers  of  trustees  are  taking  advan- 
tage of  the  opportunities  offered  by  these 
meetings  to  talk  things  over  with  other 
trustees.  The  meetings  of  the  Trustees 
Section  at  Detroit  the  last  week  in  June, 
this  year,  will  be  devoted  primarily  to  the 
discussion  of  library  financing.  Frank 


Hervey  Pettingell  of  the  Los  Angeles  L 
brary  Board  is  arranging  the  program.  Al 
trustees  are  invited  to  attend  the  meetinf 
and  it  is  suggested  that  more  librar 
boards  might  well  do  what  some  are  doin 
— that  is,  send  as  official  delegate  not  onl 
one  or  more  members  of  the  staff,  but  a 
least  one  member  of  the  board  of  trustee! 


WT.  J.  LEE,  of  the  Public  Librar 
•  Board  of  Toronto,  Canada,  speakin 
last  year  on  the  duties  of  a  library  truste 
urged  that  all  trustees  join  the  A.L.-d 
and  that  every  board  of  trustees  send 
delegate  to  every  annual  conference. 


THE  American  Merchant  Marine  Librar; 
Association,  with  headquarters  at  8 
Beaver  Street,  New  York,  is  gradually  re 
opening  the  library  service  for  merchan 
seamen.  Carl  Shattuck,  formerly  repr< 
sentative  in  Boston  for  the  A.  L.  A.,  ha 
been  engaged  to  handle  the  work  again  i: 
that  port.  Word  that  the  service  was  t 
be  resumed  in  Boston  was  sent  to  the  ship 
at  sea  by  wireless  and  many  men  were  01 
the  lookout  for  "the  book  man"  when  the; 
reached  port.  Mr.  Shattuck  writes  a  mos 
enthusiastic  account  of  the  work  and  say 
that  the  men  are  more  eager  for  books  tha 
ever  before. 

Committees  are  being  organized  in  th 
large  port  cities  and  subscriptions  are  IK 
ing  solicited  especially  from  the  steamshi; 
owners. 

Speaking  of  the  need  for  books  on  th 
vessels,  the  president  of  one  Steamshi] 
line  says: 

On  the  passenger  boats  operated  by  u 
the  crew  even  take  books  from  the  steam 
er's  library  without  permission,  and  i 
strict  watch  of  these  books  has  to  be  kep 
in  order  to  prevent  their  being  taken  a 
times  when  wanted  by  the  passengers 
Also  care  has  to  be  taken  to  keep  mei 
from  appropriating  the  books  left  along 
side  steamer  chairs  or  around  the  deck 
from  time  to  time.  The  men  are  so  keei 
to  read  and  so  anxious  to  secure  goo< 
books  that  they  will  run  the  risk  of  dis 
missal  in  order  to  get  them.

THE  statistics  given  herewith  were  sent 
to  A.  L.  A.  Headquarters  by  their  com- 
piler who  thought  the  information  would 
be  of  value  to  libraries  of  similar  sizes. 


The  geographical  distribution  of  the  cities 
represented  is  wide,  and  many  types  of 
libraries  are  included  in  the  tabulation.

TO  CALL  attention  to  the  possibility  of 
having  library  books  delivered  to 
residences  by  parcel  post  the  St.  Louis 
Public  Library  Monthly  Bulletin  for  Feb- 
ruary, 1922  reproduces  a  photograph  of  a 
postman  delivering  a  book  at  the  front 
door.  The  following  caption  appears  be- 
low the  picture:  "Uncle  Sam  as  a  library 
messenger.  Telephone  your  wants  to  the 
library  and  get  your  books  by  parcel  post. 
Leave  a  small  sum  previously  to  cover 
postage.  You  will  get  your  book  when 
your  turn  comes." 


A  LIBRARY  board  "should  concern  itself 
t\  generally  with  results;  seldom  with 
methods.  Having  selected  a  competent  li- 
brarian, who  stands  to  the  board  in  the  re- 
lation of  both  executive  officer  and  expert 
adviser,  it  leaves  him  free  to  carry  out 
the  policy  of  the  library  in  whatever  way 


may  seem  to  him  best." — Bostwick.  Ameri- 
can Public  Library. 

DR.  WILLIAM  ORR,  who  has  been  travel- 
ing in  Europe  for  several  months,  says 
In  a  recent  letter  to  Dr.  Putnam:  "I  have  so 
far  found  no  place  in  my  journeyings,  and 
they  have  been  somewhat  extensive,  where 
there  are  not  books  bearing  the  imprint  of 
the.  American  Library  Association  War 
Service.  This  seed  scattered  so  widely 
will,  I  am  sure,  bear  a  rich  harvest  in  the 
development  of  libraries  in  these  coun- 
tries." 

RADIO  boardcasting  service  was  the 
means  of  circulating  a  library  speech 
made  by  A.  E.  Bostwick,  during  April.  The 
speech  was  made  at  the  invitation  of  the 
St.  Louis  Post  Dispatch  for  their  radio 
service,  and  it  was  heard  at  all  receiving 
stations  within  200  miles.

AMERICAN    LIBRARY    ASSOCIATION 


THE  AMERICAN  LEGION  AND  THE  AMERICAN  LIBRARY 

IN  PARIS 


The  Paris  Post  No.  1,  American  Legion, 
at  a  general  meeting  recently  heartily  en- 
dorsed and  approved  the  work  of  the 
American  Library  in  Paris,  Inc.  The  reso- 
lutions were  transmitted  to  headquarters 
in  Indianapolis  and  word  has  now  been  re- 
ceived that  the  need  of  the  Paris  Library 
for  books  has  been  called  to  the  attention 
of  each  department.  This  information  will 
probably  be  passed  on  to  the  several  Legion 
posts  and  the  hope  is  expressed  that  the 
result  will  be  the  donation  of  a  great 
number  of  books. 

Good  resolutions  not  being  enough,  the 
Paris  Post  has  recently  sent  out  to  each 
of  its  seven  hundred  members  in  Paris, 
the  following  notice: 

KEEP  YOUR  BOOKS  EMPLOYED 

In  view  of  the  increased  demands  upon 
the  American  Library  for  American  and 
English  books,  the  trustees  ask  all  who 
have  books  which  they  are  no  longer  using 
to  present  them  to  the  Library. 

Any  book  which  has  been  of  use  to  you 
can  be  made  of  use  to  many  others,  either 
in  the  library  here  or  in  the  other  libraries 
of  Europe  where  such  books  are  needed. 
1'filysee,  or  write  the  librarian  asking  him 
leave  them  at  the  library,  10,  due  de 
filys6e,  or  write  the  librarian  asking  him 
to  send  for  them,  or  telephone  (l-blyse'e 
58-84  or  53-90). 

THE    LIBRARY   A    MEMORIAL 

W.  Dawson  Johnston  says: 

"This  interest  in  the  Library  I  may  ex- 
plain, is  due  not  merely  to  its  direct  use  to 
members  of  the  Paris  Post,  but  also  to  their 
desire  to  see  the  library  made  a  memorial 
to  the  American  soldiers  who  died  in  France, 
one  which  may  carry  on  the  'work  which 
they  began.  The  Alan  Seeger  Fund,  the  first 
contribution  made  toward  the  endowment 
of  the  library,  was  given  with  this  in  view. 
It  is  the  hope  and  expectation  of  the 
trustees  that  other  memorial  funds  of  this 
character  will  be  presented. 

"But  they  hope  even  more  strongly  that 
communities  may  be  interested  in  the  in- 
stitution, that  as  every  man  has  two  coun- 
tries, his  own  and  France,  even  so  it  may 
come  to  pass  that  every  one  interested  in 


popular  education,  in  making  the  world 
ready  for  democracy  may  feel  he  has  two 
libraries,  his  local  public  library  and  this 
library  in  France. 

"And  they  will  have  reason  also  to  expect 
it  wherever  library  officials  and  Legior 
officials  are  able  to  co-operate  in  the  col- 
lection of  funds  and  books  for  this  purpose, 
It  may  not  be  possible  at  this  time  to  se- 
cure funds,  but  it  is  always  possible  tc 
secure  books  which  will  be  more  useful  in 
a  public  library  than  in  a  private  one,  and 
more  useful  in  Europe  than  in  America." 

This  is  Americanization  work  on  a  large 
scale.  America  is  sending  its  authors  tc 
Europe  to  give  expression  to  America! 
ideals  and  tell  about  American  achieve 
ments.

To    the    Members  of  the 
American    Library  Association: 


In  planning  the  program  for  the  coming  meeting 
at  Detroit  it  has  been  our  endeavor  to  confine  the 
topics  to  those  problems  which  particularly  present 
themselves  for  discussion  at  the  present  time.  The 
program  has  been  planned,  as  far  as  possible,  to  have 
representatives  of  the  varied  clientele  of  the  A.  L.  A. 
and  much  time  has  been  provided  for  general  discus- 
sion. It  is,  of  course,  difficult  in  an  association  which 
is  now  so  large  to  give  representation  to  every  group. 
We  have  tried,  however,  to  provide  representation  of 
several  groups  and  to  leave  plenty  of  opportunity  for 
others  to  speak  in  the  general  discussions. 

Such  a  program  depends  for  its  success  upon  the 
hearty  co-operation  of  the  members  of  the  Associa- 
tion. Three  things  we  particularly  ask  of  every  mem- 
ber. First,  attendance  at  the  convention.  Second, 
prompt  attendance  at  the  hour  assigned  for  the  begin- 
ning of  each  session.  Third,  perfect  freedom  to  dis- 
cuss, suggest  or  criticize.  If  the  members  meet  these 
conditions  I  am  sure  we  shall  have  an  interesting  and 
a  very  profitable  conference. 

AZARIAH  S.  ROOT, 
President.

SECRETARY'vS  REPORT-PUBLICATIONS- 
AMERICAN  LIBRARY  IN  PARIS 


SECRETARY'S  REPORT 


Some   of   the   outstanding   features   of   the 
year  ending  May  20,  1922,  are : 
A   constantly   increasing   membership, 
The  largest  conference  in  the  history  of  the 

Association, 
A  much  enlarged   distribution   of   A.   L.   A. 

publications, 

Increased  emphasis  on  the  co-operative  print- 
ing of  reading  lists  and  other  material  to 
promote  reading  and  the  use  of  books, 
The  beginning  of  a  series  of  A.  L.  A.  read- 
ing courses  for  use  by  libraries  in  promot- 
ing adult  education, 
Further    development     of     the     Employment 

Service, 

The  continuation  of  the  recruiting-for-li- 
brary-service  campaign  and  the  resultant 
interest  aroused  in  library  training, 
An  apparent  increase  in  requests  (in  per- 
sonal visits  and  by  mail)  for  information 
on  book  selection,  budgets,  library  public- 
ity, library  establishment  and  organiza- 
tion, the  educational  value  of  libraries,  li- 
brary training,  traveling  libraries,  county  li- 
braries, school  libraries,  library  buildings, 
etc., 

The  assembling  and  preparation  of  typical 
publicity  material  comprising  not  only  ar- 
ticles, but  pictures,  slides  and  exhibits; 
also  scrapbooks,  showing  actual  financial, 
book  and  library  establishment  campaigns, 
and 

The    establishment   of   closer    relations    with 
other    organizations    and    agencies    which 
are  in  a  position  to  help  in  the  promotion 
of    library    interest    and    in    the    extension 
and  development  of  libraries. 
Membership.      Our    records    show    5735 
on  May  20,  a  gain  of  12%  since  May  1,  1921. 
Thousands    of    personal    and     form     letters, 
printed   leaflets   and   circulars,    and    member- 
ship application  blanks  have  been  distributed 


to  the  library  profession  to  encourage  mem- 
bership in  the  A.  L.  A.  The  Membership 
Committee,  the  officers  of  the  Association 
and  the  Headquarters  staff  have  worked  to- 
gether in  this  campaign  for  new  members, 
and  other  members  of  the  Association  have 
extended  numerous  personal  invitations  to 
join. 

The  U.  S.  Census  Bulletin  on  Occupations, 
according  to  the  1920  census,  indicates  that 
there  were  15,297  librarians  in  the  United 
States  in  1920  as  compared  with  7,423  in 
1910.  The  membership  of  the  A.  L.  A.  in 
1920  was  4,464  as  compared  with  2,005  in 
1910. 

The  geographical  distribution  of  the  A.  L. 
A.  membership,  as  listed  in  the  1921  Hand- 
book, is  as  follows: 

North    Atlantic    division 2026 

North    Central    division 1975 

South  Atlantic  division 348 

South    Central   division 255 

Western    division    560 

All  other   143 

Total,   1921    5307 

A  beginning  has  been  made  in  the  recruit- 
ing of  sustaining  and  contributing  members 
in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  the  new 
Constitution  and  By-Laws. 

Employment  Service.  More  and  more 
libraries  are  turning  to  the  A.  L.  A.  Employ- 
ment Service  for  recommendations.  Requests 
during  the  year  have  covered  nearly  every 
conceivable  kind  of  position,  with  salaries 
ranging  up  to  four  or  five  thousand  dollars ; 
and  almost  limitless  geographical  distribution 
— not  by  any  means  comprised  within  the 
boundaries  of  the  United  States.  The  heavi- 
est demand  is  for  library  school  graduates, 
but  registrants  who  have  had  apprentice  train- 
ing or  satisfactory  library  experience  are  be- 


ANNUAL    REPORTS 


ing  placed  also.  There  have  been  many  in- 
quiries for  part  time  positions  which  would 
allow  opportunity  for  some  college  or  library 
school  work,  and  these  have  received  spe- 
cial attention. 

Recruiting  for  Librarianship.  John  Cot- 
ton Dana's  interview  in  the  New  York  Even- 
ing Post  on  Library  work  for  young  men 
has  been  reprinted  by  the  A.  L.  A.  for  dis- 
tribution. A  little  statement  by  Christopher 
Morley  is  in  the  printer's  hands  as  this  re- 
port is  being  prepared.  It  will  be  entitled 
The  child  and  the  book.  Requests  for 
the  recruiting  placard,  for  Library  work  an 
opportunity  for  college  women,  reprinted 
last  year,  and  for  Books  and  a  vocation  have 
continued.  Through  the  courtesy  of  the  H. 
W.  Wilson  Co.,  1,000  reprints  of  M.  E.  Ha- 
zeltine's  Recruiting  for  librarianship  have 
been  added  to  the  material  available  at  Head- 
quarters. A  limited  number  of  reprints  were 
made  from  Public  Libraries  of  F.  K.  W. 
Drury's  The  library  as  a  detective  agency. 
Several  thousand  copies  of  these  pamphlets 
and  leaflets  suggesting  the  profession  of  li- 
brarianship have  been  placed  in  the  hands  of 
young  men  and  women  as  the  result  of  the 
work  of  the  Recruiting  Committee,  the  Head- 
quarters office  and  co-operating  librarians. 
Some  requests  for  these  items  in  large  quan- 
tities have  necessitated  putting  prices  on  them 
for  quantity  distribution,  although  they  are 
still  distributed  in  small  lots  free  of  charge. 

Suggested  articles  and  editorials  on  libra- 
rianship have  been  sent  to  hundreds  of  peri- 
odicals and  the  clippings  show  that  in  some 
cases,  at  least,  the  material  has  been  printed. 
One  of  the  most  important  contributions  was 
C.  H.  Compton's  article  written  at  our  request 
and  published  in  The  Open  Road  May,  1922. 
A  few  copies  are  available  for  distribution. 

Thousands  of  letters  have  been  sent  to  vo- 
cational advisors,  librarians  and  others. 

The  Committee  on  Recruiting,  and  the 
Headquarters  office  have  continued  to  work 
together.  Further  details  will  be  found  in 
the  report  of  the  Recruiting  Committee. 

State  Chapters.  Seventeen  state  associa- 
tions were  affiliated  with  the  American  Li- 
brary Association  by  Council  action  on  De- 


cember 29,  1921,  on  the  new  basis.  Several 
other  state  associations  and  one  local  club 
have  made  application  for  affiliation  since 
then,  and  their  requests  will  presumably  be 
acted  upon  at  the  Detroit  meeting.  When 
all  of  the  state  associations  have  become  chap- 
ters of  the  A.  L.  A.  a  very  considerable  num- 
ber of  the  Council  members  will  be  the  state 
representatives. 

The  object  of  this  affiliation  is  to  strength- 
en and  unify  library  organization  throughout 
the  country.  The  state  or  local  association 
ought  to  gain  influence  by  becoming  a  mem- 
ber of  an  international  organization  just  as  a 
local  Rotary  club  is  stronger  because  it  is  a 
part  of  International  Rotary;  and  the  A. 
L.  A.  itself  gains  strength  by  having  state  rep- 
resentatives on  its  Council  and  by  having  an 
official  connection  with  practically  everybody 
in  the  library  profession.  From  time  to  time 
the  A.  L.  A.  goes  on  record  for  certain  things. 
If  its  statements  to  congressmen  on  tariff, 
copyright  and  government  documents,  and  its 
statements  to  the  general  public  on  library 
revenues  can  be  made  in  the  name  not  only 
of  a  membership  of  five  or  six  thousand  li- 
brarians, but  also  in  some  measure,  at  least, 
in  the  name  of  all  the  members  of  all  of  the 
state  and  local  associations,  the  A.  L.  A.  is 
much  more  likely  to  gain  its  point. 

A.  L.  A.  Representation  at  Meetings. 
The  Association  has  been  officially  represented 
by  officers,  specially  appointed  delegates  or 
members  of  the  Headquarters  staff  at  meet- 
ings of  six  national  associations,  five  national 
or  sectional  conferences,  eight  meetings  of 
state  library  associations ;  and  members  of 
the  Headquarters  staff  have  made  twenty- 
five  or  thirty  talks  to  library  school  students, 
members  of  library  staffs  and  other  groups. 
Exhibits  have  been  made  at  some  of  the 
general  meetings  and  conferences,  and  at  most 
of  the  meetings  formal  or  informal  talks 
have  been  made  by  the  A.  L.  A.  representa- 
tives. Further  details  are  given  in  the  report 
of  the  Committee  on  Reciprocal  Relations 
with  Other  National  Organizations,  and  in 
the  January  Bulletin,  page  27. 

Library  Establishment.  The  growing 
popular  demand  for  the  establishment  of  pub- 


SECRETARY'S    REPORT 


lie  libraries  where  they  do  not  now  exist 
is  clearly  indicated  in  the  requests  for  help 
which  come  from  various  towns  and  cities,  es- 
pecially in  the  states  without  active  library 
commissions.  Opportunities  have  come  to  the 
A.  L.  A.  during  the  last  year  which  have 
enabled  it  to  be  of  service  in  promoting  the 
library  cause  in  some  of  the  largest  cities  in 
the  country  which  are  still  without  library 
service.  In  such  cases  the  Headquarters  of- 
fice frequently  outlines  in  brief  a  whole  cam- 
paign of  publicity  and  propaganda  to  stimu- 
late and  organize  the  local  interest.  A  few 
publications  are  sent,  and  our  miscellaneous 
publicity  material  is  offered,  with  the  result 
that  there  is  usually  a  continuing  correspond- 
ence until  definite  action  has  been  taken.  Al- 
ways, however,  the  things  which  might  be 
done  in  such  cases  and  which  might  help  in 
the  development  of  libraries  for  many  thou- 
sands of  people  are  limited  by  many  routine 
things  which  must  be  done  by  the  Headquar- 
ters office  staff.  It  is  largely  because  of  this 
general  library  promotional  work  which  is  not 
the  direct  responsibility  of  individual  mem- 
bers, that  the  Association  welcomes  the  an- 
nual dues  of  sustaining  and  contributing  mem- 
bers and  gifts  from  various  sources. 

Not  infrequently  libraries,  and  library  agen- 
cies turn  to  the  A.  L.  A.  Headquarters  for 
comprehensive  suggestions  for  reorganization 
and  extension  or  submit  reorganization  and 
extension  plans  for  criticism.  During  the 
last  year  a  few  libraries  and  library  agencies  » 
in  widely  separated  parts  of  the  country  have 
profited  by  this  service.  Others  desiring  sim- 
ilar help  have  failed  to  receive  it  because  of 
the  many  demands  on  the  Headquarters  staff. 

County  libraries.  The  publicity  for  the 
county  library  movement  and  especially  for 
that  more  spectacular  phase  of  the  county  li- 
brary movement — book  wagons — has  resulted 
in  a  continual  flow  of  correspondence  from 
small  towns  and  country  districts.  People 
want  to  know  how  library  service  can  be 
brought  to  them.  In  the  great  majority  of 
cases  the  requests  come  from  states  and 
provinces  in  which  there  are  active  library 
extension  agencies  and  from  persons  who,  ap- 
parently, have  somehow  been  missed  by  the 


traveling  library  system  which  would  be  able 
to  meet  their  needs  in  some  respects.  In  not 
a  few  cases,  however,  the  requests  come  from 
states  or  provinces  in  which  there  are  no 
agencies  equipped  to  meet  the  needs.  Some- 
times the  state  laws  have  not  authorized  the 
development  of  any  such  agencies.  In  those 
cases  the  Headquarters  office  endeavors  to 
put  the  inquirer  into  touch  with  the  other 
people  in  the  state  interested  in  developing 
the  necessary  library  departments,  and  to  en- 
courage local  efforts  toward  the  establish- 
ment of  a  community  library  on  a  temporary 
basis.  Such  inquiries  serve  to  keep  in  our 
minds  the  fact  that  there  are  still  many  peo- 
ple in  North  America  who  are  wholly  beyond 
or  without  the  influence  of  libraries;  and 
that  there  is  no  other  national  or  internation- 
al agency  than  the  American  Library  Asso- 
ciation to  which  they  can  turn  for  help. 

School  Libraries.  The  school  library 
movement  is  getting  into  full  swing.  Teach- 
ers' associations  are  adopting  library  plat- 
forms. State  laws  and  regulations  are  be- 
ing made  which  require  the  maintenance  of 
adequate  libraries  in  schools  and  the  teach- 
ing of  the  use  of  books  and  libraries  as  part 
of  the  curriculum.  All  this  is  reflected  in 
the  requests  received  at  Headquarters  for 
school  library  plans,  outlines  of  organization, 
information  on  courses  in  the  use  of  books 
and  libraries,  information  as  to  library 
schools  offering  courses  in  school  library 
work,  qualifications  for  school  librarians  and 
recommendations  for  positions.  The  most 
frequently  recurring  request  is  for  the  out- 
line of  a  plan  which  will  enable  the  public  li- 
brary and  the  school  to  work  together  in 
meeting  these  growing  and  changing  demands 
for  an  adequate  library  service  for  the  school 
system  in  all  its  branches. 

Library  War  Service.  The  American 
Library  Association  continues  to  provide  for 
some  of  the  ex-service  men  in  hospitals.  Oc- 
casional requests  for  books  and  magazines 
come  from  hospitals  which  are  not  yet  be- 
ing served  through  government  channels.  Sub- 
scriptions have  been  entered  for  this  purpose 
to  275  magazines  since  January  1,  1922.  The 
Association  is  also  providing  two  regular  em- 


ANNUAL    REPORTS 


ployees  for  advisory  service  in  connection 
with  the  hospital  library  work  for  the  men 
in  what  were  until  recently  Public  Health 
Service  hospitals  (recently  transfered  to  the 
Veterans'  Bureau).  Newly  appointed  hospital 
librarians  and  assistants  are  also  usually  paid 
for  one  or  more  months  from  A.  L.  A.  funds 
in  order  to  avoid  the  delay  which  would  re- 
sult if  forced  to  wait  for  government  appoint- 
ment. Some  incidental  expenses  are  paid  by 
the  A.  L.  A.  as  necessary.  In  this  way  the 
hospital  library  service  is  being  transferred 
gradually  to  the  government  with  the  pros- 
pect of  a  complete  transfer  not  many  months 
off. 

The  A.  L.  A.  continues  to  pay  a  small 
portion  of  the  salary  of  the  librarian  of 
the  American  Library  in  Paris  who  is  also 
the  European  representative  of  the  American 
Library  Association. 

During  the  last  few  months  the  more  im- 
portant War  Service  printed  reports,  lists, 
bulletins  and  miscellaneous  leaflets  and  post- 
ers, together  with  mimeographed  material, 
photographs,  slides,  clippings,  etc.,  have  been 
assembled  and  prepared  for  binding  or  some 
other  means  of  preservation  for  historical 
purposes.  This  material  is  at  present  stored 
in  a  vault  at  the  Headquarters  office  in  Chi- 
cago. Members  who  served  on  the  War  Serv- 
ice Committee  and  those  who  worked  in 
camps,  hospitals,  dispatch  offices  or  at  Head- 
quarters are  urged  to  visit  the  A.  L.  A.  Head- 
quarters office  and  examine  this  material  or  to 
communicate  with  us  if  there  is  any  possibil- 
ity that  additional  items  may  be  found  to  be 
added  to  this  file. 

Requests  for  information  which  have  grown 
out  of  the  war  service  work  continue  to  come 
to  the  A.  L.  A.  office  from  men  who  were  in 
the  service,  secretaries  of  welfare  organiza- 
tions who  came  in  touch  with  the  A.  L.  A. 
during  the  war,  and  from  men  and  women 
throughout  the  world  who  look  to  the  A.  L. 
A.  for  suggestions,  and  not  infrequently  (but 
usually  in  vain)  for  books. 

More  detailed  statements  will  be  found  in 
the  report  of  the  Committee  on  the  Transfer 
of  Library  War  Service  Activities,  and  in 
the  statement  of  the  librarian  of  the  Ameri- 


can Library  in  Paris,  appended  to  this  report 
of  the  Secretary. 

Books  for  the  Blind.  The  Booklist  of 
Revised  Braille  issued  two  or  three  times  a 
year  for  the  Committee  on  Work  with  the 
Blind,  records  ten  books  done  into  braille 
this  year  through  the  instrumentality  of  the 
American  Library  Association.  That  there 
is  a  continuing  and  growing  interest  in  this 
work  is  evidenced  by  the  Committee's  report 
and  the  Headquarters  correspondence. 

Publications.  It  is  estimated  that  297,- 
000  copies  of  publications  issued  by  the  Amer- 
ican Library  Association  have  been  distributed 
during  the  year  ended  March  31,  1922.  A 
large  portion  of  this  distribution  has  been 
of  small  reading  lists  compiled  and  published 
usually  because  of  the  timeliness  of  the  sub- 
jects. 

Reading  courses  are  another  important  feat- 
ure of  the  year's  work.  Two  of  the  courses 
have  been  issued,  one  on  Journalism  by  a 
Dean  of  a  university  school  of  journalism, 
and  one  on  Accounting  by  a  professor  of 
that  subject  in  a  university  school  of  com- 
merce. The  plan  is  to  have  a  series  of 
courses  on  vocational  and  other  subjects  which 
will  represent  the  best  possible  advice  on 
these  subjects,  prepared  by  men  or  women 
who  are  specialists  in  their  fields,  and  checked 
up  by  librarians  in  order  that  they  may  be 
usable  in  all  libraries.  The  number  of 
books  selected  will  be  kept  down  to  six  or 
,  eight  whenever  that  is  feasible.  The  courses 
are  to  be  prepared  for  the  man  or  woman 
who  wants  to  read  several  books  to  a  definite 
end,  not  for  the  man  or  woman  who  wants  to 
read  simply  one  book.  It  is  hoped  that  li- 
braries will  find  these  a  useful  means  of  put- 
ting into  the  hands  of  inquirers  expert  ad- 
vice instead  of  the  necessarily  limited  advice 
which  must  often  be  given  out  by  assistants 
at  the  lending  desk  or  even  the  reference 
desk.  It  is  also  hoped  that  libraries  will  find 
it  possible  to  distribute  these  courses,  per- 
haps by  mail,  to  people  who  ought  to  be  inter- 
ested in  reading  on  the  subjects,  and  so  may 
eventually  be  able  to  report  to  the  public 
that  hundreds,  perhaps  thousands  of  persons 
are  pursuing  definite  courses  of  reading 


SECRETARY'S   REPORT 


through  the  instrumentality  of  the  libraries — 
which  ought  to  help  libraries  to  convince  the 
public  that  they  are  helping  in  the  movement 
for  adult  and  universal  education. 

The  Graded  list  of  books  for  children 
is  probably  the  most  important  item  pub- 
lished during  the  year.  It  was  compiled  by 
a  committee  of  school  librarians  and  school 
teachers  appointed  by  the  Library  Department 
of  the  National  Education  Association.  Com- 
prehensive indexes  have  been  prepared  by  the 
editorial  staff  at  A.  L.  A.  Headquarters  and 
the  book  should  be  ready  for  distribution  by 
the  time  of  the  A.  L.  A.  conference. 

The  number  of  new  publications  issued 
during  the  year  ended  May  20,  1922,  counting 
separately  the  individual  numbers  of  periodical 
publications,  is  SO.  Thirty  of  them  were  pre- 
pared wholly  or  in  large  part  at  Head- 
quarters. Nine  publications  were  reprinted, 
some  of  them  thoroughly  revised.  Numerous 
printed  circulars  about  these  publications 
have  been  issued  and  distributed,  many  of 
them  in  large  quantities.

"The  Booklist  completes  the  seventeenth 
year  of  its  existence  more  firmly  established 
than  ever  as  a  necessary  factor  of  the  work

ANNUAL    REPORTS 


of  the  American  Library  Association.  This 
is  shown  by  the  gradual  but  steady  increase  of 
circulation,  all  of  which  is  now  on  an  indi- 
vidual and  paid  basis  and  by  the  steady  in- 
crease in  the  number  of  contributing  librari- 
ans and  in  the  quality  of  their  contributions. 

"The  influence  of  The  Booklist  on  the  trade 
is  shown  in  the  remark  of  a  salesman,  'Well 
I  doubled  my  order  on  that  today  when  I 
told  the  buyer  that  it  was  a  Booklist  small 
library  book.'  Buyers  recognize  the  fact  that 
Booklist  titles  are  those  which  people  want. 
This  must  be  true  as  they  are  chosen  from 
the  consensus  of  expert  opinion  which  is  con- 
stantly being  tested  and  proved  by  actual  con- 
tact with  the  reading  public. 

"The  addition  of  a  children's  librarian  to 
the  editorial  staff  of  the  Association  strength- 
ens this  feature  of  The  Booklist  and  enables 
the  staff  to  give  more  assistance  in  the  prep- 
aration of  the  special  lists.  More  of  such 
lists  have  been  prepared  and  are  being  pre- 
pared by  the  editorial  staff  than  at  any  time 
in  the  history  of  the  Association.  Inquiries 
about  books  are  increasing  in  number  and  all 
of  them  are  referred  to  The  Booklist  staff. 

"The  editor  of  The  Booklist  wishes  to 
thank  personally  and  officially  all  contribut- 
ing librarians  and  all  the  headquarters  staff 
whose  work  makes  The  Booklist." 

Subscriptions  in  May  1920,  May  1921,  and 

May  1922,  are  shown  in  the  following  table:

Library  members  and  affiliated  state  asso- 
ciations formerly  received  The  Booklist  as 
part  of  their  membership  perquisites.  This 
meant  about  650  copies  distributed  each  month 
without  charge.  On  January  1,  1922,  in  ac- 
cordance with  Executive  Board  action,  there 
was  a  change  in  practice,  and  The  Booklist 
is  now  issued  on  a  regular  subscription  basis 


at  $2.00  per  year.     About  400  of  the  institu- 
tional members  have  become  subscribers. 

Publicity.  Of  the  total  distribution  of 
A.  L.  A.  publications  in  the  year  ended  March 
31,  estimated  at  297,000,  more  than  half 
(about  170,000)  have  gone  directly  or  indi- 
rectly to  the  public.  Reading  lists  and  reading 
courses  by  the  thousands  have  been  put  into 
the  hands  of  possible  readers  and  buyers  of 
books.  In  one  city  fifty  thousand  copies  of 
an  A.  L.  A.  list  were  distributed  in  one  day. 
In  all  of  the  A.  L.  A.  publicity  to  libraries 
about  the  reading  lists  and  other  book  pub- 
.  licity  material  the  emphasis  has  been  placed  on 
distribution  outside  the  library.  Some  of 
the  reading  lists,  reading  courses  and  other 
similar  materials  have  been  sent  to  hun- 
dreds of  house  organs,  trade  periodicals  and 
other  magazines  as  well  as  to  press  associa- 
tions and  newspapers ;  and  in  some  cases  the 
material  and  lists  have  been  reprinted  and 
thus  made  available  to  many  thousands  of 
persons,  stimulating,  we  hope,  the  development 
and  use  of  libraries  and  an  increased  distribu- 
tion of  books. 

Library  establishment.  The  pamphlets  How 
to  start  a  library  and  Why  do  we  need  a  pub- 
lic library  are  used  almost  daily  in  answer- 
ing questions  on  these  subjects.  Many  copies 
are  distributed  free  of  charge  each  year  to 
communities  attempting  to  establish  libraries 
without  the  aid  of  library  commissions,  and 
many  more  hundreds  are  distributed  by  the 
library  commissions  and  other  similar  agen- 
cies. 

County  libraries.  The  pamphlets  A  comi- 
ty library  and  Book  wagons  continue  to  be 
popular  with  library  commissions  and  are 
used  frequently  in  answering  questions  from 
communities  in  states  without  commissions.  A 
few  thousand  copies  have  been  distributed  to 
rural  welfare  workers,  rural  school  officials, 
farm  papers,  club  women  and  other  persons 
and  agencies  interested  in  country  life  de- 
velopment. The  County  library  exhibit 
through  the  25  sets  sold  and  through  sets 
exhibited  by  the  A.  L.  A.  at  other  than  li- 
brary conferences  has  reached  many  thous- 
ands of  persons,  with  the  county  library  idea 


SECRETARY'S   REPORT 


and  with  the  suggestion   that   the  people   in 
the  country  want  books. 

Business  libraries.  Workshops  for  assem- 
bling business  facts,  by  Dorsey  W.  Hyde,  jr., 
president  of  the  Special  Libraries  Associa- 
tion, was  written  at  our  request  and  has  been 
distributed  by  both  the  A.  L.  A.  and  the  S. 
L.  A.  to  large  numbers  of  people.  Copies 
have  gone  from  the  A.  L.  A.  office  to  the 
members  of  the  National  Federation  of  Busi- 
ness and  Professional  Women's  Clubs,  to  com- 
mercial clubs,  chambers  of  commerce,  house 
organs,  business  and  trade  magazines.  It  has 
been  used  successfully  in  answering  questions 
from  business  men  about  the  establishment 
and  development  of  libraries  for  their  officers 
and  employees. 

School  libraries.  Several  thousand  copies  of 
a  little  leaflet,  entitled  Constructive  aids  in 
school  library  work,  were  distributed  to 
teachers,  principals,  superintendents  and  li- 
brarians in  grade  schools,  high  schools  and 
normal  colleges.  The  purpose  was :  first,  to 
create  an  interest  in  school  libraries,  or  to 
stimulate  that  interest  where  it  already  existed ; 
and  second,  to  promote  the  sale  of  some  of 
the  A.  L.  A.  publications  which  are  of  value 
to  school  libraries.  During  the  year  several 
hundred  copies  of  the  Certain  pamphlet  Stand- 
ard library  organisation  and  equipment  for 
secondary  schools  have  been  distributed  to 
school  officials.  Plans  have  been  made  with 
the  co-operation  of  the  chairmen  of  the  School 
Libraries  Section  of  the  A.  L.  A.  and  of  the 
Library  Department  of  the  N.  E.  A.  to  con- 
duct voting  contests  at  the  Detroit  confer- 
ence of  the  American  Library  Association 
and  the  Boston  conference  of  the  N.  E.  A. 
on  the  best  25  books  for  a  "Two- foot  shelf 
for  a  one-room  country  school."  The  purpose 
is  to  stimulate  discussion  of  school  libraries 
in  rural  districts,  and  the  clippings  which  have 
come  from  different  parts  of  the  country  as 
the  result  of  the  first  announcement  through 
the  Associated  Press  indicates  that  the  results 
will  be  gratifying. 

Library  support.  Nothing  issued  by  the 
American  Library  Association  in  many  years 
has  been  so  widely  reprinted  as  the  library 


revenue  resolution,  adopted  by  the  A.  L.  A. 
Council  in  December,  1921,  and  reprinted  by 
the  A.  L.  A.  as  a  broadside  under  the  head- 
ing What  is  a  reasonable  income  for  your 
library?  Several  thousand  copies  have  been 
sold  to  library  commissions  for  distribution  to 
trustees,  public  officials,  newspapers  and  oth- 
ers, and  some  copies  have  been  distributed  by 
the  Headquarters  office.  The  use  of  this 
statement  in  the  newspapers  of  the  country 
and  the  comment  given  it  in  editorial  columns 
lead  us  to  believe  it  commanded  general  at- 
tention. Surely  all  this  will  help  to  create  a 
public  sentiment  which  will  demand  better 
support  for  libraries.  Scrapbooks  illustrating 
the  financial  campaigns  in  two  or  three  cities, 
either  for  library  buildings  or  increased  appro- 
priations, have  been  prepared  by  the  Head- 
quarters office  and  have  been  used  almost 
constantly  in  other  communities  as  suggestions 
for  similar  campaigns. 

General  book  publicity.  Reading  lists  issued 
during  the  year  covered  the  following  sub- 
jects: 

Home  planning. 

Useful  books  for  the  home. 

Business  books  for  profit  and  pleasure. 

The  United   States. 

Books  and  thrift. 

Wanderlust  book  shelf. 

Others  are  mentioned  under  Children's 
reading. 

Reading  courses  were  published  on  Account- 
ing and  Journalism.  In  addition  to  the  dis- 
tribution which  these  obtained  through  libra- 
ries a  few  thousand  copies  have  been  distribut- 
ed directly  to  persons  and  agencies  where 
they  would  receive  special  attention  and  where 
they  might  be  brought  to  the  attention  of 
many  others.  There  has  also  been  a  good 
distribution  through  libraries  and  otherwise  of 
the  McCutcheon  cartoon  poster  and  book 
mark,  reprinted  from  the  Chicago  Tribune. 

Effort  has  been  made  to  encourage  libraries 
to  have  a  part  in  every  public  movement. 
Nearly  every  week  is  now  assigned  to  some 
cause  or  some  movement,  and  the  publicity 
which  grows  out  of  the  observance  of  these 
"weeks"  and  "days"  offers  librarians  ready- 
made  opportunities  to  stimulate  book  distrib-

ANNUAL    REPORTS 


ution.  In  a  few  cases  relations  have  been  es- 
tablished also  between  the  A.  L.  A.  Head- 
quarters and  the  headquarters  »f  other  organi- 
zations interested  in  these  movements,  in  or- 
der that  books  might  be  given  their  place  in 
the  official  program. 

Children's  reading.  Four  important  con- 
tributions to  book  publicity  in  this  field  have 
been  made  by  the  A.  L.  A.  during  the  year : 
The  Children's  reading  exhibit,  Children's 
books  for  Christmas  presents,  Boys' books,and 
Books  for  vacation  which  is  in  the  printer's 
hands  as  this  report  is  being  written.  The 
45  sets  of  the  exhibit  which  were  sold  and 
others  lent  by  the  A.  L.  A.,  have  been  shown 
to  scores  of  large  groups  of  people  by  libra- 
ries and  library  commissions,  and  the  book 
lists  have  been  distributed  in  large  quantities, 
so  that  the  first  three  items  mentioned,  the 
exhibit,  the  Christmas  list  and  the  boys'  list, 
may  presumably  have  brought  the  book  idea 
to  the  attention  of  several  hundred  thousand 
people.  An  important  fact  is  that  the  gen- 
eral reading  lists  and  the  children's  reading 
lists  are  usually  reprinted  by  one  or  more 
periodicals,  so  that  the  distribution  is  much 
in  excess  of  the  number  of  copies  printed  by 
the  A.  L.  A. 

Recruiting  for  librarianship.  This  is  large- 
ly publicity  work  but  is  reported  in  another 
paragraph. 

Library  publicity.  The  growing  recognition 
on  the  part  of  libraries  of  the  importance  of 
keeping  the  book  idea  and  the  library  idea  be- 
fore the  public  has  resulted  in  the  assembling 
at  Headquarters  of  a  considerable  amount 
of  material  illustrating  library  and  book  pub- 
licity. This  consists  of  scrapbooks  showing 
how  some  libraries  advertise,  of  pictures,  re- 
ports, etc. — all  of  which  are  available  for 
loans  to  libraries. 

Nezvspapcr  and  'magazine  articles.  The  time 
which  could  be  devoted  to  publicity  during 
the  past  year  has  for  the  most  part  been  given 
to  the  development  of  the  reading  lists  and 
reading  courses  and  their  adequate  distribu- 
tion through  libraries  and  otherwise  as  stated 
above.  Some  dozens  of  articles  have,  how- 
ever, been  written  at  our  suggestion  for  the 
general  magazines,  and  many  newspaper 


stories  have  been  given  to  the  press  associa- 
tions as  well  as  to  individual  newspapers.  Ma- 
terial for  newspaper  and  magazine  articles  is 
being  collected  and  organized  at  the  Head- 
quarters office  constantly  and  is  being  used 
by  all  sorts  of  reporters  and  writers.  There 
would  be  much  greater  use  if  we  were  able 
to  assemble  more  material. 

Photographs  and  slides.  The  collection  of 
photographs  available  for  exhibits  and  for 
reproduction  in  newspapers  and  magazines  has 
now  increased  to  several  hundred  and  many 
of  the  best  pictures  have  been  reproduced  in 
the  form  of  lantern  slides.  The  slides  have 
been  used  during  the  year  for  lectures  to 
library  school  students,  for  public  addresses  in 
communities  conducting  library  campaigns, 
for  library  development  and  in  other  similar 
ways. 

A.  L.  A.  Finances.  The  increased  mem- 
bership and  the  increased  dues  have  combined 
to  produce  an  income  for  the  General  Fund 
somewhat  larger  than  it  has  been  in  the  past. 
The  conference  registration  fee  required  by 
the  new  By-Laws  should  provide  $1500  or 
$2000  more.  To  a  large  extent  the  additional 
funds  will  be  absorbed  by  the  increased  ex- 
penses of  a  larger  association  and  larger  con- 
ferences and  by  minor  increases  such  as  those 
growing  out  of  the  new  method  of  voting, 
etc. 

The  Publishing  Funds  are  much  increased 
because  of  the  increased  sales  of  publications. 
The  net  gain  in  this  item  for  1921  over  1920 
was  $7,665.42,  or  49%.  The  gain  in  the  twelve 
months  ending  April  30,  1922,  over  the  twelve 
months  ending  April  30,  1921,  was  $9,056.64, 
or  50.9%.  But  the  gain  does  not  represent 
profit.  The  prices  on  A.  L.  A.  publications 
are  kept  at  a  .figure  which  is  meant  to  cover 
overhead,  but  not  to  provide  a  surplus. 

The  fiscal  year  of  the  Association  ends  on 
December  31.  The  Treasurer's  annual  reports 
are  found  each  year  in  the  January  Bulletin. 
Financial  statements  are  also  published  in 
the  various  numbers  of  the  Bulletin  through- 
out the  year,  and  a  summary  for  January  1 
to  April  30,  1922,  is  printed  at  the  time  of 
the  conference. 

In    the   committee    reports    this   year,     and

perhaps  every  year,  will  be  found  recommen- 
dations which  would  involve  additional  expen- 
ditures by  the  committees  or  by  the  Headquar- 
ters office,  frequently  by  both.  Unquestion- 
ably many  of  these  recommendations  would 
meet  with  the  approval  of  members  of  the 
Association  in  general,  and,  if  carried  out, 
would  help  in  the  development  of  librarianship 
and  of  libraries.  One  committee  recommends 
that  Headquarters  office  be  instructed  to 
undertake  a  piece  of  work  which  was  under- 
taken several  years  ago  and  which  failed 
then  as  it  will  fail  again  unless  the  Headquar- 
ters office  can  put  time  and  money  into  that 
work.  Another  committee  is  trying  to  do  on  a 
volunteer  basis  what  would  normally  cost 
some  $20,000  a  year.  And  still  another  com- 
mittee specifically  recommends  that  the  A.  L. 
A.  employ  an  additional  Headquarters  assist- 
ant who  shall  be  a  specialist  in  a  given  field. 
The  Headquarters  office  correspondence  would 
disclose  the  need  for  similar  specialists  in 
other  fields  as  well  as  many  opportunities  for 
service  which  the  Association  must  now  fore- 
go because  of  a  lack  of  adequate  resources. 
Our  Chicago  Host.  The  Association 


continues  to  be  under  obligations  to  the  Chi- 
cago Public  Library  for  tti e  Headquarters  of- 
fices. This  courtesy  is  the  more  appreciated 
when  it  is  understood  that  the  Library  itself 
is  in  need  of  space  to  meet  the  demands  of  its 
rapidly  expanding  work.  The  activities  of 
the  A.  L.  A.  are  growing  rapidly  also  and 
the  necessity  for  more  space  is  a  matter  for 
early  consideration. 

In  General.  The  year's  work  of  the 
American  Library  Association  is  told  in  the 
reports  of  committees  and  officers,  in  the  A. 
L.  A.  Bulletin  (including  the  Handbook  and 
Proceedings),  The  Booklist,  the  other  A.  L. 
A.  publications  and  in  the  library  periodicals. 
Nowhere  are  all  the  facts,  or  even  the  out- 
standing facts,  assembled.  This  report  reviews 
simply  the  work  of  the  Headquarters  office 
with  suggestions  here  and  there  of  the  work 
of  others. 

Grateful  acknowledgement  is  made  to  staff, 
officers,  committees  and  other  members  whose 
combined  efforts  have  made  this  a  year  of  un- 
usual accomplishment. 

Respectfully   submitted, 

CARL  H.  MILAM,  Secretary.

AMERICAN   LIBRARY   IN    PARIS

AMERICAN  LIBRARY  IN  PARIS 

The  plans  of  my  predecessor,  Dr.  Carlton, 
for  the  organization  of  the  Library  are  de- 
scribed by  him  in  an  article  in  the  Library 
Journal,  October  IS,  1921,  entitled  "The 
American  Library  in  Paris,  Inc."  The  his- 
tory of  the  Library  during  the  year  1921  is 
contained  in  the  Year-book  of  the  Library 
just  published. 

The  immediate  problems  of  the  Libraryare: 
(1)  The  establishment  of  closer  relations 
with  other  organizations  interested  in  inter- 
national service,  particularly  the  Carnegie  en- 
dowment for  international  peace,  and  the 
Comite  France-Amerique,  both  of  which  are 
especially  concerned  with  a  closer  rapproche- 
ment between  France  and  the  United  States, 
and  also  the  establishment  of  closer  relations 
with  the  University  of  Paris,  the  American 
University  Union,  and  other  institutions  and 
societies  interested  in  American  thought  and 
in  American  achievement.  The  most  impor- 
tant action  taken  by  any  organization  having 
international  affiliations  was  the  passage  of  a 
resolution  by  the  Paris  Post  of  the  American 
Legion,  recommending  recognition  of  the  Li- 
brary by  the  general  organization. 

(2)  The  organization  of  national  commit- 
tees to  advise  and  assist  in  the  development 
of  the  Library.    With  this  in  view,  the  Trus- 
tees   at    their    meeting,    December    13    last, 
passed  an  amendment  to  the  constitution  pro- 
viding  for  the   appointment   of   an   advisory 
committee,  to  be  chosen  from  among  the  most 
distinguished   French  men  of   letters,   states- 
men and  publicists,  an  American  committee, 
empowered  to  solicit  endowments,  donations 
and  additions  to  the  list  of  patrons  and  life 
members,  and  a  British  committee  with  sim- 
ilar powers. 

(3)  The  establishment  of   closer  relations 
with  other  libraries  in  Paris.    The  aim  of  the 
Library  is  to  supplement  rather  than  duplicate 
other  libraries  in  the  community,  and  to  trans- 
fer to  them  any  material  which  may  be  of 
greater  use  as  parts  of  their  collections. 

(4)  Establishment  of  such  departments  of 
service  in  the  Library  and  of  such  branches 
of  the  Library  in  other  parts  of  the  city  as 
will  enable  it  to  secure  the  largest  circulation 


of  its  book  collections  and  at  the  same  time 
carry  on  its  research  work  effectively  and 
economically. 

Additional  Resources  and  Publicity 

The  most  important  addition  to  the  finan- 
cial resources  of  the  Library  during  the 
year  was  the  gift  of  $25,000  from  the  Ameri- 
can Library  Association  to  be  added  to  the 
endowment  fund.  The  largest  and  most  im- 
portant contributions  to  the  book  collections 
were  received  from  the  Confederated  South- 
ern Memorial  Association,  from  the  Univer- 
sity of  California,  and  from  the  Aero  Club 
of  America  Foreign  Service  committee.  The 
first  consisted  of  Southern  history  and  litera- 
ture, the  second  included  a  complete  set  of 
the  University's  semi-centennial  publications, 
and  the  third  a  carefully  chosen  library  on 
aeronautics. 

Beginning  January  23,  the  director  has  un- 
dertaken the  editorial  management  of  a  week- 
ly book  column  in  the  Chicago  Tribune,  Eu- 
ropean edition,  and  beginning  April  3,  weekly 
contributions  to  the  New  York  Herald,  Eu- 
ropean edition,  relating  to  the  literature  of 
subjects  of  current  interest.  Periodical  notes 
on  the  contents  of  the  current  English  reviews 
have  been  sent  to  the  Daily  Mail,  Continental 
edition. 

Because  of  the  inadequacy  of  the  collec- 
tions, the  limited  staff,  and  the  crowded  con- 
ditions of  the  Library  rooms,  there  has  been 
no  special  publicity  either  among  British  or 
French  readers. 

Use  of  the   Library 

There  are  now  3075  registered  card  holders. 
Of  these,  44  per  cent  are  American,  25  per 
cent  British,  and  22  per  cent  French.  In  the 
use  of  the  reference  room  also  Americans  lead, 
the  French  here  coming  second,  and  the  Eng- 
lish third.  The  exact  figures  are  Americans 
36  per  cent,  French  33  per  cent,  British  18  per 
cent  The  most  interesting  thing  about  these 
figures  is  that  Americans  do  not  form  a  ma- 
jority, and  that  compared  with  last  year's 
figures  they  show  an  increase  in  the  number 
of  French  card  holders  greater  than  that  of 
either  Americans  or  British.

With  the  small  staff  it  has  been  possible 
to  do  little  research  work,  except  as  generous 
individuals  have  been  found  to  do  it  for  us. 
Still  some  service  of  importance  has  been 
rendered  both  to  libraries,  to  government 
bureaus,  to  institutions  and  to  societies,  as 
well  as  to  individual  inquirers. 

International  Service 

Important  as  this  local  service  is,  and  im- 
portant as  the  service  may  become,  particu- 
larly to  the  people  of  France,  a  much  more 
important  service  may  be  rendered  by  assist- 
ing in  building  up  American  collections  in 
French  and  other  libraries  in  Europe,  and  by 
building  up  French  collections  in  American 
libraries.  With  this  in  view,  some  studies 
have  been  made  of  the  subject  of  internation- 
al exchange  of  scientific  publications  and  of 
library  duplicates  of  value  in  University  and 
other  reference  libraries,  and  the  assistance 
of  the  officers  of  the  Cercle  de  la  Librairie 
and  the  Maison  du  Livre,  has  been  sought 
in  working  out  a  plan  for  the  selection  of 
current  French  publications  most  suitable  for 
purchase  by  American  public  libraries. 

Books  have  been  loaned  to  other  libraries 
in  different  parts  of  Europe.  The  most  note- 
worthy among  these  was  a  collection  of  con- 
temporary American  poetry  which  made  pos- 
sible a  course  in  contemporary  American 
poetry  in  the  University  of  Strasbourg. 

Information  has  also  been  given  to  inquirers 
both  European  and  American  in  regard  to  the 


publishers  of  individual  books  and  the  litera- 
ture of  specific  subjects. 

It  is,  however,  out  of  the  question  for  the 
library  to  supply  either  the  books  or  the  in- 
formation which  it  should  until  both  its  book 
collections  and  its  staff  are  much  enlarged. 

Members  of  the  American  Library  Asso- 
ciation can  probably  do  more  than  any  one 
else  to  supply  the  need  for  books  and  maga- 
zines,— particularly  sets  in  bound  form. 

A  Library  School 

More  important  even  than  its  direct  service 
to  readers,  either  in  France  or  other  countries 
is  its  potential  service  to  other  libraries.  The 
director  has  been  elected  a  member  of  the  As- 
sociation des  Bibliothecaires  frangais,  and  ex- 
pects to  publish  in  its  Bulletin  an  annual  list 
of  American  library  literature.  He  expects 
also  to  have  exhibits  of  this  literature,  and 
of  photographs  and  other  material  illustrative 
of  American  library  methods. 

The  Comite  Frangais  de  la  Bibliotheque 
Moderne,  organized  largely  through  the  efforts 
of  Miss  Carson  and  members  of  the  Ameri- 
can Committee  for  Devastated  France,  plan 
the  establishment  of  training  courses  for 
those  looking  forward  to  work  in  the  newer 
type  of  public  library  in  which  the  members 
of  the  Comite  are  interested.  It  is  their  hope 
that  with  the  assistance  of  the  leaders  in  this 
progressive  movement  these  courses  may  be 
given  in  the  American  Library.

COMMITTEE  REPORTS,  1921-22 


BOOKBINDING 

The  activities  of  the  A.  L.  A.  Committee 
on  Bookbinding  for  the  year  1921-22  have 
consisted  in  part  in  the  continuation  of  work 
included  in  the  programs  of  previous  years, 
with  some  new  undertakings  which  have  been 
developed  in  response  to  recognized  needs  in 
the  course  of  our  regular  work. 

The  bookbinding  exhibits  have  been  used 
with  apparently  no  lessening  of  interest,  in 
ten  library  schools,  summer  schools  and  li- 
brary institutes,  in  two  state  meetings,  five 
public  and  three  high  school  libraries,  at  the 
N.  E.  A.  in  Des  Moines,  and  at  the  Iowa 
State  Fair  in  connection  with  the  exhibit  of 
the  Iowa  Library  Commission,  twenty-two 
places  in  all. 

In  response  to  inquiries  from  several  of 
the  smaller  publishers,  the  binding  specifica- 
tions for  strong  edition  work,  intended  for 
the  larger  books  of  the  reference  type,  which 
were  prepared  some  years  ago  by  the  Book- 
binding Committee,  have  been  revised,  the  re- 
vision being  included  in  this  report.  The  co- 
operation of  ten  or  more  practical  library 
binders  of  high  standing  and  of  supervisors 
of  binding  in  large  libraries  in  the  prepara- 
tion of  details,  has  resulted  in  a  set  of  work- 
able specifications  which  are  being  brought 
to  the  attention  of  publishers  in  general 
through  the  National  Association  of  Book 
Publishers.  The  cordial  co-operation  of  for- 
mer chairmen  of  the  Bookbinding  Committee 
in  this  work  is  gratefully  acknowledged. 

As  the  result  of  an  apparent  need,  a  set  of 
general  instructions  for  library  binders  has 
been  compiled,  covering  many  details  of  prep- 
aration for  binding  which  some  binders  over- 
look, but  which  are  important  from  the  li- 
brary standpoint.  These  were  submitted  to 
the  same  binders  and  supervisors  as  were  the 
specifications  for  strong  edition  work,  re- 
fered  to  above,  and  were  approved  in  the  main 
by  all. 

The  question  of  inferior  paper  and  bind- 


ings in  the  books  of  recent  years  is  calling 
protests  from  various  quarters.  Complaints 
have  been  sent  to  several  publishers  concern- 
ing the  conspicuous  defects  in  certain  books, 
the  replies  being  varied  in  character  and 
rather  unsatisfactory.  The  Bookbinding  Com- 
mittee in  co-operation  with  the  Bookbuying 
Committee  is  taking  the  matter  up  in  a  more 
comprehensive  way,  with  a  view  to  securing 
the  sentiment  of  a  large  number  of  librarians 
with  specific  examples  of  books  whose  lack 
of  durability  has  attracted  attention.  With 
these  specific  examples  as  the  basis  of  our 
appeal,  it  is  planned  to  approach  the  publishers 
through  the  Secretary  of  the  National  As- 
sociation of  Book  Publishers  in  the  interest 
of  improved  durability  in  forthcoming  books. 

It  must  be  recognized  that,  although  the 
library  trade  may  be  a  comparatively  small 
item  in  book  sales,  libraries  do  introduce  to 
large  numbers  of  people  and  thus  popularize 
the  best  books  published,  thereby  indirectly 
increasing  the  sales  through  the  regular  book 
agencies  to  an  incalculable  extent.  And  we 
are  confident  that  the  publishers,  knowing 
something  of  the  value  of  the  library  trade, 
will  give  due  consideration  to  our  appeal  for 
more  serviceable  books. 

The  rapid  introduction  of  the  oversewing 
machine  into  library  binderies  indicates  its 
general  acceptance  as  a  necessary  part  of  up- 
to-date  binding  equipment,  notwithstanding  its 
expense,  which  with  the  scoring  machine  (an 
indispensable  adjunct  which  insures  a  flat 
opening  for  books  made  from  the  heavier 
papers)  is  a  little  more  than  $4,000. 

The  prices  of  binding  supplies  and  the 
binders'  wage  scales  show  a  considerable  re- 
duction as  compared  with  those  of  sixteen 
months  ago,  which  is  reflected  in  occasional 
revisions  downward  in  binders'  price  lists.

Appendix 

Binding  Specifications  for  Strong  Edition 
Work  for  Books  of  the  Reference  Type 

Compiled    by   the    A.    L.    A.    Committee    on 
Bookbinding,  March,  1922 

Paper.  The  quality  of  paper  for  reference 
books  or  other  large  volumes  is  of  first 
importance,  satisfactory  binding  being 
largely  dependent  on  suitable  paper.  A  de- 
sirable paper  for  such  books  is  a  light 
weight  stock  of  firm,  yet  flexible  quality, 
not  highly  calendered,  but  which  takes  il- 
lustrations well  if  illustrations  are  to  be 
used.  Inner  margins  should  be  not  less 
than  three-fourths  of  an  inch  in  depth,  and 
outer  margins  not  less  than  five-eighths  of 
an  inch. 

Sewing.  Signatures  should  be  composed 
of  eight  leaves,  sixteen  pages.  The  Smythe 
machine  is  commonly  employed  for  sewing 
books  of  the  type  under  consideration.  At- 
tention is  directed,  however,  to  the  feasi- 
bility of  the  use  of  the  oversewing  machine, 
rapidly  coming  into  use  among  binders  do- 
ing work  for  libraries,  and  which  produces 
an  ideal  sewing  for  large  books  having 
constant  use.  W.  Elmo  Reavis,  210  East 
Washington  St.,  Los  Angeles,  Cal.,  will  be 
able  to  furnish  names  of  owners  of  over- 
sewing machines  in  different  cities. 

A  first-class  grade  of  cotton  thread 
should  be  used.  The  Intrinsic,  Lock's  and 
Myer's  are  three  good  makes.  For  the 
average  sized  book  a  No.  16  for  the  upper 
thread  and  No.  20  for  the  lower  are  com- 
monly used. 

A  good  length  for  stitches  when  the 
Smythe  machine  is  used  is  one  inch  to 
one-and-a-half  inches  with  space  of  five- 
eighths  of  an  inch  between  stitches. 

Lining,  Rounding  and  Backing.  A  good 
lining  is  made  from  a  rather  light  grade  of 
canton  flannel,  cut  to  cover  the  back  of 
the  book  to  within  one-fourth  inch  of  top 
and  bottom,  and  extending  over  on  each 
side  one-and-a-half  inches.  After  rounding 
and  backing,  the  backs  of  the  books  are 
given  a  thin  coat  of  flexible  glue,  and  the 


strips  of  canton  flannel  are  pasted  and  ap- 
plied with  the  nap  side  to  the  backs  while 
the  glue  is  fresh.  A  soft,  though  strong 
grade  of  sateen  or  muslin  may  be  used 
for  lining  instead  of  canton  flannel.  Super 
is  entirely  inadequate. 

Joints.  The  lining  thus  adheres  firmly  to 
the  back  of  the  book;  the  part  extending 
one-and-a-half  inches  on  each  side  is 
pasted  to  the  continuous  end  paper  of  some 
subdued  tint, — a  tan  kraft  or  soft  gray, — 
which  has  been  stripped  along  the  fold  with 
a  strong,  although  never  stiff  nor  heavy 
muslin,  thus  making  a  double  cloth  joint 
which  is  entirely  concealed  when  the  book 
is  finished.  The  cover  is  fastened  to  the 
book  by  means  of  the  end  papers,  which 
are  securely  pasted  in  place  with  special 
care  as  to  joints. 

Boards.  The  best  quality  of  cloth  board 
should  be  used,  suited  in  weight  to  the 
size  and  weight  of  the  book. 

Cover  Cloth.  Serviceable  shades  of  buck- 
ram are  the  Holliston  No.  91  (dark  blue), 
and  No.  92  (dark  green)  ;  and  the  Inter- 
laken  No.  305  (maroon),  No.  307  (dark 
blue),  No.  309  (dark  green),  and  No.  320 
(green). 

Pressing.  Books  should  remain  in  press 
not  less  than  twelve  hours, — twenty-four 
hours  is  better, — or  until  thoroughly  dry. 

Finishing.  All  finishing  should  be  done  in 
XXD  gold  leaf. 

To  summarize :  The  requisites  for  edi- 
tion work  of  a  well  made  book  of  what- 
ever size  are  a  fair  grade  of  paper,  with 
type  of  size  and  spacing  so  arranged  as 
to  be  easily  readable,  good  machine  sewing, 
careful  rounding,  backing  and  lining,  joints 
adequate  to  the  size  and  weight  of  the 
volume,  suitable  boards  and  cover  material, 
proper  pressing,  and  tasteful  and  durable 
lettering. 

BOOK  BUYING 

At  the  threshold  of  this  year's  work,  the 
Association  was  handed  two  challenges — one 
by  the  new  tariff  makers,  the  other  by  the 
Publishers'  Copyright  League.  Each  proposed 


BOOK   BUYING

to  resurrect  a  corpse  buried  these  thirty  years. 
To  both  of  these  menacing  proposals  our 
committees  have  given  emphatic  denial. 

On  July  21  the  House  passed,  virtually 
without  debate,  the  so-called  Fordney  Tariff 
Bill.  In  reference  to  books,  this  bill  reversed 
the  leading  features  of  the  McKinley  Act  of 
1890,  though  of  the  same  political  origin. 
Under  that  Act,  books  in  foreign  languages 
had  been  put  upon  the  free  list,  as  also  those 
for  the  blind.  It  had  continued  the  policy,  in- 
augurated in  1870,  of  freeing  twenty-year  old 
books ;  that,  started  in  1816,  of  exempting 
institutions ;  and  finally  the  one  of  1790,  which 
lifted  the  duty  from  an  immigrant's  books 
and  necessary  household  effects. 

In  the  four  tariff  enactments  since  that 
date,  equally  divided  between  the  two  Parties, 
there  was  further  advance  in  liberalism,  cul- 
minating in  the  Underwood-Simmons  Act  of 
1913,  which  reduced  the  rate  (on  English 
books  under  twenty  years  of  age,  not  ordered 
by  institutions)  to  15%  from  the  25%  pre- 
vailing since  1864,  and  removed  textbooks 
from  the  dutiable  list. 

The  new  measure  raised  the  rate  to  20%, 
on  American  valuation — the  estimated  equiv- 
alent of  25%,  on  the  accustomed  foreign  val- 
uation— that  is,  restored  the  Civil  War  rate ; 
and  closed  the  free  list  to  all  save  institu- 
tions and  the  blind,  even  limiting  the  former 
to  two  copies. 

As  this  reversed  our  own  national  policy, 
which  in  turn  falls  short  of  the  free  trade 
in  books  general  abroad,  the  Committee  on 
Book  Buying  joined  that  on  Federal  and 
State  Relations  in  protest  to  the  Senate  Com- 
mittee on  Finance.  Their  statement  was  wide- 
ly seconded,  with  the  result  that  in  the  Hear- 
ing of  December  21,  the  Association's  rep- 
resentative spoke  in  the  name  of  the  Ameri- 
can Council  on  Education  and  bore  the  written 
endorsement  of  the  American  Association  for 
the  Advancement  of  Science,  American  Asso- 
ciation of  University  Professors,  American 
Chemical  Society,  American  Economic  As- 
sociation, American  Historical  Association, 
American  Philological  Association,  American 
Physical  Society,  American  Political  Science 
Association,  Association  of  American  Col- 


leges, Association  of  Urban  Universities, 
College  Art  Association,  Conference  of  East- 
ern College  Librarians,  Conference  of  West- 
ern University  and  College  Librarians,  Geolog- 
ical Society  of  America,  Modern  Language 
Association,  National  Education  Association, 
as  well  as  scores  of  educational  institutions. 

In  co-ordination  with  this  Washington 
address,  nation  wide  publicity  was  maintained 
through  newspapers  and  in  correspondence 
with  persons  prominent  in  the  field  of  edu- 
cation, science,  art  and  scholarship.  Partic- 
ularly effective  was  the  alliance  with  the 
American  Council  on  Education,  which  ar- 
ranged for  the  Hearing  and  then  printed  and 
broadcast  our  brief  in  Congress,  and  with 
the  American  Association  of  University  Pro- 
fessors, through  which  Faculty  petitions, 
especially  in  pivotal  States,  were  arranged. 
All  the  while,  steady  contact  with  the  Capitol 
was  maintained  by  conferences  and  corre- 
spondence. In  fact  the  rate  compromise  was 
effected  after  the  Bill  had  gone  to  press. 

These  efforts  have  been  gratifyingly  suc- 
cessful. In  the  Senate  Committee's  revision, 
presented  April  11,  the  rate  is  kept  at  15%, 
on  foreign  valuation  (25%  if  of  American 
authorship),  the  limit  on  number  of  copies 
allowed  free  importation  is  removed,  while 
the  following  are  restored  to  the  free  list : 

1.  Foreign  language  books. 

2.  Books    printed    and    bound    more    than 
twenty  years. 

3.  The  immigrant's   books    (and   necessary 
household  effects). 

Duty-free  textbooks  are  missed,  but  on  this 
point  reconsideration  is  probable,  and  it  is 
but  fair  to  add  that  the  concession  of  un- 
limited importation  was  intended  to  meet  this 
need. 

In  contrast  with  the  publishers  and  book- 
sellers, whose  proposals,  except  where  identi- 
cal with  ours,  did  not  gain  the  Committee's 
favor,  the  manufacturers  (printers,  litho- 
graphers, binders)  teft  distinct  impression. 
Hence  the  rate  compromise,  the  requirement 
also  that  the  old  book  must  not  be  in  a  new 
binding  to  escape  duty,  and  the  provision  of 
a  45%  duty  on  books  the  chief  value  of  which 
lies  in  the  leather  binding.  The  Committee 


20 


ANNUAL    REPORTS 


did  not  feel  justified  in  jeopardizing  the  re- 
lief to  serious  readers  by  offering  spirited 
advocacy  of  luxury  items.  The  recognition 
accorded  and  the  respect  it  seems  to  hold  at 
the  end  confirm  the  wisdom  of  this  initial 
decision. 

This  tariff  measure  proved  to  have  a  hidden 
connection  with  the  copyright  proposal  which 
has  required  an  equal  share  of  our  attention. 
The  Unions  offered  to  concur  in  a  movement 
to  repeal  an  obnoxious  clause  of  their  author- 
ship in  the  Copyright  Act  if  they  could  secure 
a  higher  and  longer  tariff  wall.  Under  this 
clause,  contrary  to  usage  elsewhere,  a  for- 
eigner writing  in  English  cannot  secure 
United  States  copyright  unless  his  work  is 
manufactured  here.  As  universal  validity  of 
an  author's  property  right  is  a  matter  of  ele- 
mentary justice,  the  American  Library  As- 
sociation is  naturally  interested  to  see  that 
he  gets  it  in  America.  There  is  satisfaction, 
therefore,  that  its  tariff  rate  proposed,  ac- 
cepted at  the  last  moment  by  the  Senate 
Committee,  apparently  paves  the  way  to  such 
result,  without  sacrificing  the  public  interest, 
for,  in  imposing  a  higher  rate  on  incoming 
books  of  American  authorship  than  on  bona 
fide  foreign  books  it  meets  the  Unions'  fear 
that  American  publishers  may  send  domestic 
work  abroad  to  be  done. 

The  repeal  of  the  manufacturing  clause  in 
the'  copyright  law  would  remove  the  major 
difficulty  from  the  path  of  American  entry 
into  the  International  Copyright  Union.  To 
this  end  a  bill  was  drawn  by  the  Authors 
League  of  America,  but  at  the  moment  of 
consummation  the  Publishers'  Copyright 
League,  at  its  final  session,  October  4th,  be- 
fore reorganization  as  the  Copyright  Bureau 
of  the  newly  formed  National  Association  of 
Book  Publishers,  passed  resolutions  which 
threw  the  entire  situation  into  confusion,  and 
forced  the  League's  acceptance  of  a  proviso 
fraught  with  the  greatest  peril  to  American 
libraries  and  the  users  of  foreign  books. 

To  this  situation  the  Council  gave  consid- 
eration December  30  in  executive  session,  and, 
after  hearing  publisher  and  committee  spokes- 
men, voted  unanimous  condemnation  of  the 


former's  proposal,  while  commending  Amer- 
ican membership  in  the  Union. 

In  the  language  of  the  October  4th  resolu- 
tions, the  proposal  was 

"That  during  the  existence  of  the 
American  copyright  in  any  book,  work  of 
art,  or  musical  composition,  the  impor- 
tation into  the  United  States  shall  be  pro- 
hibited, unless  such  importation  is  made 
with  the  consent  of  the  proprietor  of  the 
American  copyright." 

Under  criticism  the  proposal  was  softened 
in  form  though  not  altered  in  substance,  so 
as  to  allow  institutions  and  individuals  to  im- 
port, for  use  and  not  for  sale,  single  copies  of 

"any  book  as  published  in  the  country  of 
origin  with  the  authorization  of  the  au- 
thor, or  copyright  proprietor  .  .  .  pro- 
vided the  publisher  of  the  American  edi- 
tion of  such  book  has  (within  ten  days 
after  written  demand)  declined  or  neg- 
lected to  agree  to  supply  such  copy." 

Stripped  of  its  sanctimonious  garb,  this 
proviso  simply  means  to  place  in  the  hands 
of  American  publisher-jobbers  the  oppor- 
tunity of  monopolizing  the  country's  book 
importations  and  of  selling  all  foreign  books 
on  their  own  terms.  This  follows  irrespective 
of  whether  the  United  States  enters  the 
Union  or  stops  at  repeal  of  the  manufactur- 
ing clause.  Inside,  (virtually)  all  European 
books  would  enjoy  American  copyright.  Out- 
side, such  right  would  be  established  by 
mere  compliance  with  the  formality  of  notice, 
deposit,  and  registration.  Without  cost  or 
for  a  dollar  and  a  copy,  according  as  we 
were  in  or  out  of  the  Union,  the  price  of 
an  edition  would  in  a  twinkling  shift  from 
the  foreign  price  to  the  American.  The  de- 
preciation of  foreign  money  would  make  sole 
agencies  mutually  alluring.  What  the  inter- 
national publisher  would  do  is  not  a  matter 
of  conjecture.  His  catalogs  are  already  in 
print.  It  is  an  odd  fact  that,  while  in  London 
he  lists  American  books  at  American  prices 
or  less,  he  finds  it  necessary  here  to  charge 
thirty  to  forty  cents  or  more  a  shilling  for 
his  English  books.  Under  the  existing  law, 
we  can  escape  by  buying  abroad,  but  with 
his  deadly  proviso  enacted,  we  must  come  to

whom  copyright  law  was  called  into  existence, 
he  is  lost  in  the  shuffle. 

The  bill  was  introduced  April  28  by  Rep. 
J.  N.  Tincher,  of  Kansas,  but  hearings  are 
not  expected  till  the  tariff  situation  clears 
for  the  Unions.  Every  library  organization 
in  the  United  States  will  do  well  to  im- 
prove the  interval  by  earnest  study  of  this 
subject,  so  as  to  be  ready  at  call  for  in- 
telligent pressure  on  Congress. 

Upon  these  two  topics  of  tariff  and  copy- 
right, the  Committee  has  issued  six  bulletins 
in  the  library  periodicals  of  September,  De- 
cember, January  and  February,  while  the 
tariff  argument  before  the  Senate  Committee 
appeared  also  in  the  Educational  Record 
vol.  3,  no.  1,  as  well  as  in  the  Revised  Hear- 
ings on  Schedule  15. 

Four  other  bulletins,  similarly  published, 
carried  advice  in  other  directions.  That  of 
August,  entitled  "Plain  English — and  Amer- 
ican," reported  the  revised  terms  of  certain 
New  York  houses  and  presented  a  typical 
cost  sheet.  In  October  a  fair  price  list  for 
"Foreign  periodicals  of  1922"  was  presented ; 
also,  the  case  of  the  Catholic  encyclopaedia- 
supplement's  paper.  In  November  detailed 
directions,  "How  to  import,"  were  given, 
including  an  exhibit  of  twenty-five  recent 
English  titles,  with  London  and  New  York 
prices  in  parallel  columns  (as  kindly  fur- 
nished by  a  western  librarian).  Finally,  in 
April  the  new  German  export  scheme,  effec- 
tive April  first,  and  generally  trebling  do- 
mestic prices  to  the  United  States,  was  ex- 
pounded, with  approval. 

The  year  has  been  one  of  teamwork.  This 
Committee  has  been  intimately  associated 
with  that  on  Federal  and  State  Relations  in 
the  legislation  above  discussed  and  wishes 
to  record  its  keen  appreciation  of  the  friend- 
ly co-operation  established  by  Dr.  Wyer  and 
his  associates. 

And  we  have  had  cause  in  common  with 
the  Committee  on  Bookbinding.  Miss  Whee- 
lock  will  present  important  data,  which  we 
trust  may  result  in  improved  standards  of 
workmanship  and  materials. 

Of  the  Committee's  private  labors  in  cor- 
respondence, no  report  need  be  given.  It  is 


sensible  of  the  confidence  reposed,  and  can 
only  regret  that  this  work  is,  after  all,  an 
aside,  and,  however  devoted,  remains  in  char- 
acter circumscribed.

The  Committee  has  not  been  able  to  have 
a  meeting  during  the  past  year,  but  has  done 
much  work  by  correspondence.  A  Sub-Com- 
mittee on  the  Cataloging  of  Incunabula  met 
at  Chicago  in  December  and  formulated  ten- 
tative rules  for  the  cataloging  of  incunabula. 
These  rules  have  been  presented  not  only  to 
the  members  of  the  Committee,  but  to  various 
other  persons  interested.  So  much  diversity 
of  opinion  has  been  encountered  that  it  seems 
unwise  to  print  the  rules,  even  in  their  tenta- 
tive form,  until  further  discussion  and  con- 
ference can  be  had  at  the  Detroit  meeting. 

The  Committee,  therefore,  submits  this  as 
a  report  of  progress.  It  is  hoped  to  publish 
rules  for  the  cataloging  of  incunabula  in 
agreement  with  the  Committee  of  the  [Brit- 
ish] Library  Association  early  in  the  autumn. 

For  the  Committee, 
WM.   W.    BISHOP,    Chairman. 

CIVIL  SERVICE  RELATIONS 

The  removal  to  Paris  during  the  course  of 
the  year  of  W.  Dawson  Johnston,  Chair- 
man and  most  active  member,  has  resulted 
in  comparatively  little  activity  on  the  part 
of  the  Committee  and  few  results. 

Before  he  left  the  country  Dr.  Johnston 
wrote  an  article  on  "Standardization  of  the 
Federal  Library  Service"  which  well  sum- 
marizes the  efforts  to  improve  the  federal  li- 
brary service.  (Library  Journal  46:  897-900, 
1  November,  1921).  The  pending  reclassifi- 
cation  legislation  is  not  yet  law  at  this  writ- 
ing (May  1)  but  the  bill  has  passed  the 
House  overwhelmingly,  has  been  reported  to 
the  Senate,  and  is  included  in  the  Republican 
program  of  major  items  of  legislation,  so

that  prospects  seem  fairly  good  for  its  enact- 
ment. 

Efforts  to  get  the  case  for  exempting  or 
excepting  libraries  from  the  strict  and  formal 
operation  of  civil  service  laws  or  for  a  more 
sympathetic  administration  of  civil  service 
laws  as  applied  to  libraries  before  the  Na- 
tional Assembly  of  Civil  Service  Commis- 
sions have  not  been  successful.  At  the  com- 
ing meeting  of  that  body  at  San  Francisco 
permission  has  been  given  to  present  a  brief 
in  print,  but  without  opportunity  for  discus- 
sion. It  is  thought  that  presentation  of  the 
case  in  that  form  would  not  be  very  helpful. 

Contacts  have  been  established  with  the 
Institute  for  Government  Research,  Washing- 
ton, D.  C.  There  is  a  possibility  that  that  or- 
ganization will  shortly  make  a  comprehensive 
and  detailed  study  of  civil  service  relations, 
federal,  state  and  municipal.  In  case  this  is 
undertaken  assurances  have  been  given  that 
library  civil  service  relations  will  be  studied 
and  reported  upon.  This  prospect  seems  one 
of  the  most  hopeful  that  the  Committee  has 
to  offer.

COMMITTEE  ON  COMMITTEES 

This  committee  is  waiting  for  definite  ac- 
tion by  the  Association  on  the  resolution 
adopted  by  the  Council  at  the  mid-winter 
meeting. 

CONSTITUTION  AND  BY-LAWS 

This  committee's  report  was  printed  in  the 
May  Bulletin. 

DECIMAL      CLASSIFICATION      AD- 
VISORY COMMITTEE 
As  Chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Decimal 
Classification,    I   report   that   the    Committee 
held   a   meeting  at    Swampscott,   having  the 
advantage   of   the   presence   of    Mr.    Dewey, 
and  considered  plans   for  the  reorganization 
of  the  work  made  necessary  by  the  death  of 
Miss  Seymour.     It  was  decided  to  ask  for  a 


more  representative  membership,  and  this  has 
been  secured  by  the  addition  of  C.  W.  Per- 
ley,  of  the  Library  of  Congress,  and  Mary 
Baker,  of  the  Carnegie  Library  of  Pittsburgh. 
It  is  hoped  to  secure  in  addition  one  other 
member  to  represent  a  large  public  library 
not  using  the  system. 

Miss  Fellows  has  been  engaged  as  editor 
by  Mr.  Dewey  to  attend  to  Miss  Seymour's 
work. 

Some  matters  which  require  the  attention 
of  the  Committee  will  be  taken  up  in  the 
near  future. 

Yours  respectfully, 

C.  W.  ANDREWS,  Chairman. 

EDITORIAL  COMMITTEE 

This  Committee  has  held  one  meeting  dur- 
ing the  year,  at  which  time  it  voted  numerous 
recommendations  which  were  approved  by  the 
Executive  Board.  A  list  of  those  recommen- 
dations was  printed  in  the  January  Bulletin, 
page  18. 

The  members  of  the  Editorial  Committee 
have  been  kept  in  touch  with  the  publication 
activities  by  correspondence  and  have  con- 
sidered many  questions  which  will  result  in 
recommendations  later. 

The  formal  report  on  publications  will  be 
found  in  the  Secretary's  report  and  supple- 
ments thereto. 

Respectfully  submitted, 
HILLER  C.  WELLMAN,  Chairman. 

EDUCATION 

The  Committee  on  Education  had  its  in- 
ception in  a  desire  to  bring  the  two  public 
educational  systems,  the  schools  (including 
state  universities,  colleges,  normal  schools, 
high  schools,  elementary  schools,  night 
schools  and  continuation  schools)  represented 
by  the  National  Education  Association  and 
the  libraries  represented  by  the  American  Li- 
brary Association  into  satisfactory  working 
relations  in  supplying  suitable  reading  ma- 
terial to  students  and  in  teaching  them  how 
to  use  and  to  appreciate  books  and  libraries. 

Primary  emphasis  can  be  laid  upon  co-op- 
eration between  public  schools  of  all  kinds 
and  public  libraries  of  all  kinds  because  both 
are  supported  by  taxation.  But  account  must 


EDUCATION 


23 


be  taken  of  the  fact  that  the  N.  E.  A.  and 
the  A.  L.  A.  have  private  educational  insti- 
tutions in  their  membership  which  have  an 
important  bearing  upon  the  problem. 

As  the  chief  objective  of  the  Committee's 
program,  "Teaching  the  use  and  appreciation 
of  books  and  libraries"  will  inevitably  create 
heavy  demands  upon  library  resources  and 
service  and  as  library  standards  should  be 
maintained,  it  is  highly  desirable  that  the  li- 
brary and  school  educational  leaders,  both 
national  and  local,  arrive  at  a  common  un- 
derstanding upon  general  policies.  That  the 
two  national  organizations  are  already  mov- 
ing in  the  same  direction  is  indicated  in  the 
statement  addressed  by  Sherman  Williams 
to  the  N.  E.  A.  Library  Advisory  Board. 

"We  need  to  keep  clearly  in  mind  that  ours 
is  not  primarily  a  department  of  school  li- 
brarians or  public  librarians,  but  an  organiza- 
tion that  is  devoted  to  the  task  of  making  it 
possible  for  every  one  in  our  land  to  have 
easy  access  to  a  free  library. 

"Whether  this  is  done  through  school  li- 
braries, public  libraries,  state  libraries,  county 
libraries,  traveling  libraries,  or  any  combina- 
tion of  such  libraries  is  for  each  state,  county 
or  locality  to  determine  for  itself. 

"We  should  hold  tenaciously  to  the  general 
proposition  that  some  provision  should  be 
made  whereby  every  one  may  have  easy  ac- 
cess to  books,  leaving  each  state  or  locality 
to  determine  the  methods  best  adapted  to  its 
conditions." 

Your  Committee  on  Education  has  tried 
to  give  publicity  to  the  program  of  the  Li- 
brary Section  of  the  N.  E.  A.  (appended  to 
the  report)  and  to  encourage  the  appoint- 
ment of  a  Committee  on  Education  in  each 
State  Library  Association. 

Questionnaires  were  sent  to  State  Commit- 
tees on  Education  so  that  they  could  make  a 
survey  of  the  relations  of  public  libraries, 
universities,  colleges  and  normal  schools ; 
state  library  commissions  and  state  depart- 
ments of  education  to  the  school  library  prob- 
lem. No  questionnaires  were  sent  to  local 
school  boards  because  the  N.  E.  A.  Library 
Section  has  been  working  directly  with 
school  authorities  with  most  excellent  re- 
sults. Therefore  it  was  thought  best  to  at- 
tack the  problem  at  other  angles. 

These   questionnaires    differed    according  to 


institutions,     but     covered     substantially    the 
following  points : 

(1)  Is  a  supervisor  of  school  libraries  em- 
ployed   with    education,    professional    library 
training,  status  and  salary  equal  to  a  teacher 
in  a  corresponding  position? 

(2)  Are   adequate    facilities   provided     for 
training  school  librarians? 

(3)  Are  students  taught  to  use  and  appre- 
ciate books  and  libraries? 

(4)  What  is  the  attitude  of  your  board  or 
president  on  school  library  work? 

(5)  What  assistance  can  the  state  and  A. 
L.  A.  Committees  on  Education  give  in  this 
work? 

Reports  on  the  questionnaires  were  re- 
ceived from  twelve  states  and  one  Canadian 
province,  scattered  geographically  and  va- 
ried in  conditions. 

The  questionnaires  for  State  Library  Com- 
missions and  State  Departments  of  Educa- 
tion covered  similar  ground  so  that  the  re- 
plies have  been  combined.  Six  states  em- 
ploy Supervisors  of  School  Libraries  either 
attached  to  the  staff  of  the  State  Library 
Commission  or  the  State  Department  of  Ed- 
ucation— Indiana,  Minnesota,  New  Jersey, 
New  York,  Pennsylvania  and  Wisconsin.  The 
Indiana  position  includes  work  in  state  in- 
stitutions. Massachusetts  has  asked  the  leg- 
islature to  establish  this  position.  British  Co- 
lumbia may  have  such  a  worker  within  a 
year.  These  and  several  other  states,  notably 
California  and  Oregon,  where  the  county 
library  is  such  a  factor,  are  carrying  out  a 
purposeful  school  library  program. 

Vermont  states :  "It  has  been  the  policy  of 
this  Commission  that  in  a  state  like  Vermont 
with  scattered  population  and  scanty  means 
it  is  a  mistake  to  try  to  build  up  two  sys- 
tems, one  of  school  and  one  of  public  li- 
braries ;  that  the  public  library  system  in 
each  town  supplemented  by  such  help  as  may 
be  necessary  can  best  serve  both  schools  and 
public." 

The  status  of  the  Supervisor  of  School 
Libraries  is  on  a  par  with  other  supervisory 
positions  but  the  salary  is  usually  lower.  The 
duties  of  this  position  are:  "Visiting  high 
school  libraries  and  stimulating  organization;

ultimately  raising  standards.  Approving 
purchases  of  books  made  by  schools,  instruct- 
ing in  library  methods,  aiding  in  re-organiza- 
tion, inspecting  school  libraries. 

"Duties  divided  into  supervisory,  advisory, 
bibliographical,  training  and  conference.  Su- 
pervise school  libraries ;  assign  state  aid, 
measure  libraries  by  state  standards,  plan 
library  rooms  and  administration,  secure 
school  librarians.  Advise  public  libraries  on 
work  with  schools,  including  contract  and 
county  plans.  Compile  state  aid  lists,  courses 
on  the  use  of  the  library  for  all  schools,  lo- 
cal report  forms  and  biennial  report.  Teach 
in  Library  Institutes  and  County  Teachers' 
Institutes  and  outline  course  for  Rural 
Teacher  Training  Classes.  Confer  with  Di- 
visions of  State  Department  of  Education : 
Rural,  Graded  elementary,  High,  Teacher- 
employment,  Certification,  Teacher-training, 
Buildings,  Agriculture,  Industrial,  Home 
economics,  Re-education ;  and  other  state  ed- 
ucational workers :  Library  and  Education 
Associations,  university,  colleges,  teachers' 
colleges,  social  workers." 

The  question:  "Where  there  is  no  super- 
visor how  is  the  work  cared  for?"  was  an- 
swered as  follows : 

"Work  is  not  cared  for." 

"Through  town  and  city  libraries." 

"By  sending  traveling  libraries  and  ma- 
terial in  answer  to  all  requests." 

"Field  librarian  divides  time  between  out- 
side and  library,  visits  schools  when  possible, 
school  organizer  needed." 

"All  we  can  do  is  to  write  letters  of  ad- 
vice and  lend  material." 

"By  our  regular  staff,  the  secretary  or- 
ganizes school  libraries  on  request,  traveling 
library  department  supplies  special  books  to 
schools  on  request.  This  latter  is  a  large 
part  of  our  work." 

"State  Reading  Circle  Board  recommends 
lists  of  books  for  school  libraries." 

"Approved  list  selected  by  Department  of 
Public  Instruction." 

"Our  high  school  inspector  gives  some  at- 
tention to  high  school  libraries." 

"Left  to  local  control." 


"Supervisor  of  rural  and  high  schools, 
very  poorly  done." 

"We  make  certain  requirements  as  to  li- 
braries of  all  classified  schools." 

The  state  boards  seem  to  consider  school 
libraries  as  vital  according  to  the  following 
replies : 

"Strengthening  of  school  library  service 
means  ultimate  benefit  to  public  library." 

"They  want  a  school  librarian  attached  to 
this  .staff." 

"Feel  we  are  doing  all  we  can  financially 
by  sending  traveling  libraries  and  the  mate- 
rial." 

"Anxious  to  promote  work  but  realizes 
impossibility  of  securing  school  librarian  for 
a  few  years." 

"It  is  one  of  the  highly  desirable  things 
which  we  hope  will  be  reached  some  day." 

"Consider  it  of  prime  importance." 

"We  are  strongly  for  them." 

"State  superintendent  seems  favorable." 

"That  the  great  majority  are  very  poorly 
cared  for." 

"They  should  be  brought  to  the  highest 
degree  of  efficiency." 

"We  need  a  state  supervisor." 

"Our  state  superintendent  may  change  and 
often  does  every  two  years." 

The  questions,  "W hat  could  State  and  A, 
L.  A.  Committees  on  Education  do  to  help 
in  this  work?"  brought  these  suggestions: 

"Send  printed  lists  for  school  libraries." 

"Get  appropriate  legislation." 

"Help  create  the  proper  public  sentiment." 

"Encourage  summer  courses.  Secure  in- 
terest of  superintendent  and  principals." 

"Collect  data  from  city  superintendents  re- 
garding the  care  of  their  libraries,  publish 
it,  and  distribute  it  to  school  boards  and 
city  superintendents." 

"Acquaint  state  superintendent  with  work 
done  in  other  states." 

"Emphasize  the  benefits  derived  from  a 
good  school  library." 

"Endorse  plan  of  state  supervisor  and 
work  for  it  with  the  legislature." 

"A.  L.  A.  Committee  can  do  nothing  ex- 
cept to  spread  propaganda  for  it." 


EDUCATION 


25 


"Educate  teachers  to  use  books  and  li- 
braries." 

"Send  us  any  statistics  about  passage  of 
similar  bills  in  other  states." 

"Continue  to  agitate." 

"Work  up  small  exhibits  for  educational 
meetings,  that  will  cost  little  for  transporta- 
tion but  will  be  effective." 

"Urge   county   libraries." 

"Emphasize  the  school  library  as  service 
department  of  entire  school  system,  also  as 
training  center  in  'How  to  study.'  Educate 
educators  and  general  public." 

The  replies  from  public  libraries  were 
chiefly  from  the  medium  sized  and  small  li- 
braries. Virtually  all  report  much  time  de- 
voted to  students  often  at  the  sacrifice  of 
other  phases  of  library  work.  The  general 
practice  is  for  the  children's  and  the  ex- 
tension departments  to  work  with  the 
grades  and  the  reference  and  circulation 
departments  with  the  high  schools.  One 
librarian  says,  "It  seems  useless  to  try  to 
answer  most  of  the  questions  when  there 
is  so  much  needed  before  a  school  librarian 
could  even  be  considered  in  most  places  in 
this  state."  An  increasing  number  of  li- 
braries, however,  have  school  librarians 
either  as  assistants  to  the  children's  librarian 
or  as  heads  of  school  divisions  or  school  de- 
partments. As  yet  there  are  comparatively 
few  definitely  planned  school  library  pro- 
grams adequately  financed. 

The  children's  librarians  having  set  very 
high  standards  of  service,  books,  methods 
and  equipment,  it  remains  to  bring  every 
school  into  touch  with  these  standards. 

In  an  encouraging  number  of  cases  the 
librarians  are  equal  in  education  and  train- 
ing with  teachers  in  the  community,  but 
their  salaries  as  a  rule  are  lower.  The  zeal 
of  these  librarians  is  all  out  of  proportion  to 
their  physical  strength,  their  staff  and  gen- 
eral financial  support.  They  appeal  for  bet- 
ter conditions,  for  a  better  understanding  of 
their  work  and  for  school  librarians  especial- 
ly trained  to  care  for  the  inevitably  increas- 
ing demands. 

The  question,  "What  is  your  local  pro- 
gram?" brought  the  following  responses: 


"None." 

"Watchful  waiting." 

"Teaching  the  use  of  the  library." 

"Supervision  of  home  reading." 

"The  school  board  has  a  contract  with 
public  library  for  service  and  pays  half  of 
expense." 

"A  high  school  librarian  on  the  staff  to 
give  all  of  her  time  to  high  school  work 
subject  to  call  for  work  in  the  central  li- 
brary. The  grade  work  done  by  the  chil- 
dren's librarian." 

"School  librarians  employed  by  school 
board  but  appointed  by  library  board." 

"Appointment  of  member  of  staff  as  school 
librarian." 

"Specialization   of  school  work." 

"Have  none.  City  superintendent  wants 
high  school  library  separate.  Board  opposed, 
feel  that  school  should  use  public  library, 
paying  salary  of  assistant  who  would  have 
position  of  high  school  teacher ;  and  buy  all 
reference  books  used  by  schools." 

"A  supervisor  of  work  with  children  and 
schools,  a  thoroughly  trained  person  to  take 
charge  of  work  in  main  library,  all  branches, 
all  primary  and  grammar  grades,  etc." 

"More  school   branches." 

"As  yet  no  financial  help  has  been  asked 
from  schools." 

"Shall  try  to  get  more  money  and  raise 
salaries." 

"Work  for  salaries." 

"School  superintendent  and  library  work- 
ing together." 

"Financing  of  school  library  by  school 
system  because  it  has  the  money." 

This  detailed  statement  from  a  burdened 
librarian  is  illuminating:  "We  gave  half  a 
day  each  week  to  the  grades  and  I  personal- 
ly conducted  two  library  classes  at  the  high 
school  each  morning.  I  have  long  felt  the 
need  of  a  high  school  librarian.  Only  upon 
repeated  requests  from  the  school  and 
school  board  did  1  give  my  consent  to  carry 
on  this  work  this  year.  It  means  in  ad- 
dition to  my  regular  work  a  pretty  heavy 
diet  to  continue.  However,  I  was  glad  to 
do  it  this  year.  My  compensation  was  $30 
per  month  estimated  on  one-fourth  of  the 


26 


ANNUAL    REPORTS 


minimum  high  school  wage.  I  am  very 
much  interested  in  the  close  co-operation  of 
school  and  library  and  should  like  to  see  a 
school  librarian  secured  for  this  town  either 
giving  half  time  to  teaching  and  half  to 
library  work  or  as  my  assistant  giving  me 
half  time  and  half  to  school  work." 

The  replies  to  the  questions :  'What  could 
thf  State  and  A.  L.  A.  Committees  on  Edu- 
cation do  to  promote  this  phase  of  your 
work?"  were  so  similar  that  they  have  been 
combined : 

"Agitate." 

"Recruit   for   school   librarians." 

"Standardize :  training,  qualifications,  sal- 
aries." 

"Draw  up  standards  for  public  library 
work  with  schools." 

"Raise  salaries." 

"Publicity,  particularly  getting  the  stand- 
ards before  school  people,  boards,  superin- 
tendents, principals  and  teachers." 

"Library  speakers  at  educational  meetings." 

"Consider  separate  school  department  for 
public  library." 

"Urge  school  board  to  contribute  same 
amount  as  library  board  for  school  work." 

"Increased    facilities    for   training." 

"Urge  legislation  for  larger  appropria- 
tions." 

"Work  with  State  Education  Commission 
to  get  school  libraries  into  the  scheme." 

"See  that  librarian  has  a  hand  in  selecting 
books  for  pupils,  reading  circles  and  school 
libraries." 

"Publish  lists  and  authoritative  works  on 
present  day  development." 

The  question,  "Would  you  favor  increas- 
ing the  state  facilities  for  the  training  of 
school  librarians?"  brought  favorable  an- 
swers for  the  most  part. 

"No;  help  our  neighboring  state  do  it." 

"Yes ;  one  state  normal  could  do  this." 

"I  believe  in  increasing  any  facilities  for 
training  but  I  think  care  should  be  exercised 
in  planning  training  of  teacher-librarians  so- 
called.  The  library  part  of  the  training  is 
apt  to  be  inadequate  and  superficial  and  to 
give  false  impressions." 

"Not  informed." 


"Not  prepared  to  assert." 

"Am  not  posted  as  to  what  is  being  done." 

"Indifferent." 

"Need  to  change  present  attitude  of  'don't 
care.'  University  Library  course  never 
taken  by  more  than  four  or  six  teachers." 

"I  think  I  should  prefer  state  legislation 
making  mandatory  larger  appropriations  for 
public  libraries,  leave  training  to  libraries 
and  library  schools." 

"Working  for  a  general  library  school  at 
the  university.  Have  library  training  for 
rural  teachers  at  normal  summer  school." 

The  question,  "What  is  the  attitude  of 
the  library  board!"'  revealed  a  disquieting 
lack  of  information  and  concern  regarding 
school  libraries  especially  when  the  large 
number  of  libraries  making  no  reply  is  con- 
sidered : 

"Liberal  as  far  as  a  small  library  can  be." 

"Indifference,  save  as  to  cost,  which  it  is 
insisted  could  be  borne  by  the  Board  of 
Education." 

"Our  board  favors  extending  work  with 
schools." 

"Both  library  and  school  board  most  gen- 
erous." 

"Favorable." 

"Meets  the  school  board  two-thirds  of  the 
way." 

"Library  board  is  in  favor  of  most  earn- 
est co-operation  with  schools." 

"Library  board  interested  in  children's 
school  work." 

"Board  interested  but  lack  of  funds  pro- 
hibits proper  extension  work." 

"Board  is  progressing  in  everything  look- 
ing forward  to  greater  efficiency." 

"Subject  has  never  been  presented  to  them." 

"Proposition  has  never  been  considered  as 
yet." 

"It  has  never  been  discussed." 

"I  do  not  know." 

"My  trustees  have  asked  school  board  for 
small  sums  to  be  used  for  extra  help  during 
school  year." 

"Our  staff  is  so  inadequate  and  financial 
condition  so  "stringent  that  we  have  not  con- 
sidered the  question."

"Willing  to  back  up  librarian  but  she  must 
take  the  initiative." 

''Library  board  not  especially  interested, 
possibly  because  members  of  board  have 
never  had  their  attention  drawn  to  the  need 
and  value  of  this  kind  of  work.  An  active 
campaign  along  extension  lines  would  surely 
be  helpful  and  stimulating." 

"Attitude  favorable  but  lack  necessary 
funds." 

"No  telling." 

"Interested." 

"Open  to  suggestion." 

"Simply  an  attitude  of  helpfulness  to- 
ward the  local  schools.  No  policy  discussed 
or  formulated  on  the  general  question.  All 
actual  practice  left  to  librarian." 

"The  library  board  acted  favorably  upon 
the  librarian's  recommendations  which  were 
based  on  the  Certain  Report." 

General  statement  from  a  member  of  a 
state  committee : 

"I  can  see  that  many  libraries  consider 
their  scope  in  this  respect  to  be  of  little  in- 
terest to  the  state,  much  less  the  American 
Library  Association. 

"There  is  a  lamentable  lack  of  co-opera- 
tion with  schools  through  inability  to  do  so 
on  account  of  meager  funds.  The  desire  is 
present  but  the  wherewithal  is  lacking. 

"When  the  question  of  salaries  is  men- 
tioned, a  note  of  bitterness  is  betrayed  and 
it  develops  that  this  great  state  is  a  fertile 
field  for  the  committee  to  organize  a  vigorous 
campaign,  first  to  increase  the  finances  of 
the  state,  and  better  the  material  condition  of 
librarians  which  will  mean  extension  and 
better  service  for  the  school  children.  It 
would  seem  that  all  librarians,  their  friends 
and  supporters  are  ready  to  put  their  shoul- 
ders to  the  wheel  and  push  the  venture  to  a 
realization. 

"It  will  not  be  a  difficult  task  if  prop- 
erly organized,  to  rally  to  our  support  the 
many  influential  civic  organizations  through- 
out the  state — plus  the  thousands  of  soldiers 
who  returned  from  the  war  who  were  shown 
what  a  value  and  comfort  books  were  to 
them. 

"I   trust  your  committee  will  derive   from 


this  compilation  sufficient  inspiration  to 
launch  the  campaign  for  better  libraries,  in- 
creased salaries  and  closer  co-operation  with 
schools  in  every  city  and  hamlet  in  the 
state." 

The  returns  from  universities,  colleges 
and  normal  schools  are  combined  as  follows : 
The  normal  school  replies  have  been  given 
to  Willis  H.  Kerr,  who  is  working  on  a 
"measuring  stick  for  normal  school  libraries." 

Typical  answers  to  the  question :  "Have 
members  of  your  staff  faculty. rank  and  sal- 
aries?" were: 

"No.  Librarian  has  department  head 
rank,  staff  classed  as  assistants  in  administra- 
tion." 

"Yes;  one  librarian  only." 

"Only  the  librarian." 

"Yes;  the  librarian  professor;  assistant, 
assistant  professor;  others,  instructors." 

"Yes." 

"Librarian  and  associate  librarian  only." 

The  question :  "Is  there  a  member  whose 
special  work  it  is  to  teach  all  of  the  students 
the  minimum  essentials  of  the  use  of  books 
and  libraries  in  a  regular  credit  course  f" 
called  forth  the  following: 

"We  are  praying  for  staff  to  enable  us  to 
do  it." 

"Instruction   without   credit." 

"Elective  course  offered  with  credit." 

"Expect  to  give  five  lectures  to  seniors 
expecting  to  teach  this  year  or  next." 

"Not  yet ;  we  have  asked  for  one." 

"Yes." 

"No." 

"Course  well  established.  Work  is  given 
by  librarian,  reference  librarian  and  con- 
tinuations librarian.  One  credit.  Required  of 
freshmen  of  all  schools  except  pharmacy  and 
mines ;  is  elective  in  those  schools." 

"Have  been  asking  for  two  years  for  ap- 
pointment to  our  staff  of  some  one  to  be 
assigned  for  work  of  instruction.  This 
would  include  work  with  freshmen ;  regular 
courses  in  the  administration  of  high  school 
libraries,  special  lectures  to  prospective 
teachers.  This  same  person  would  at  the 
outset  also  have  supervision  of  university 
high  school  library.  Have  a  person  in  mind

but  no  appointment  because  of  lack  of  funds." 

"Required  course  in  library  methods  given 
to  freshmen  each  semester  by  librarian  and 
three  trained  assistants  for  regular  college 
credit." 

"We  do  not  give  such  instruction." 

Questions  relating  to  the  employment  of 
librarians  for  colleges  of  education,  and 
model  schools  and  the  training  of  teacher- 
librarians  showed  the  following  conditions : 

"Yes ;  courses  throughout  year  in  regular 
university  library  school  and  in  the  summer. 
All  normal  schools  giving  courses." 

"We  are  hoping  for  a  librarian." 

"We  are  hoping  for  staff  to  enable  us  to 
do  it." 

"Have  discussed  with  the  dean  the  desir- 
ability of  special  instruction  but  so  far  have 
not  succeeded.  When  funds  are  sufficient." 

The  attitude  of  presidents  is  reported  as : 
"Favorable,"  "Not  antagonistic,"  "Unfavor- 
able." 

"How  could  State  Library  Association 
assist?" 

"By  asking   for  such   courses." 

"By  urging  universities  to  undertake  such 
work." 

"Send  recommendations  to  deans  and  pres- 
idents." 

"Start  library  training  propaganda  outside 
university  for  students  to  take  course." 

The  committee  at  its  midwinter  meeting 
decided  to  ask  the  North  Central  Association 
of  Colleges  and  Secondary  Schools  to  require 
trained  school  library  service  in  their 
"Standards  for  Accrediting  Secondary 
Schools."  It  also  voted  to  ask  the  universities 
to  put  library  subjects  on  their  list  of  topics 
for  these. 

It  desires  to  thank  the  state  presidents  and 
chairmen  and  all  who  contributed  to  this  sur- 
vey, and  bespeaks  their  continued  interest  in 
school  library  work. 

In  view  of  the  conditions  brought  out  in 
this  report  and  because  a  sound  school  li- 
brary program  is  fundamental  to  the  maxi- 
mum use  of  all  kinds  of  libraries  both  now 
and  in  the  future,  your  Committee  submits 
the  following  School  Library  Objectives  for 
consideration  and  adoption  by  the  A.  L.  A.

Appendix 
A  Library  Program 

1.  The  library  is  an  educational  institution 
made  up  of  various  agencies,  the  two  most 
important   being  the  school  library  and   the 
public   library. 

2.  The  school  library  should  be  the  heart 
and  center  of  the  school  work. 

3.  It  should  be  so  used  as  to  train  pupils 
to  use  a  public  library  intelligently. 

4.  Pupils    Should   be   so   instructed   as   to 
want  to  read  books  that  are  worth  while. 

5.  There   should  be  a  collection  of   books 
in   each  schoolroom  suitable  to  the  age  and 
purposes  of  the  pupils. 

6.  Teaching   children  \o   read   is   of    little 
value  unless  they  are  taught  what  to  read, 
and   are    provided    with    the    right   kind   of 
books. 

7.  The   public   library   should   serve  as   a 
continuation  school   for  those  who  have  fin- 
ished  their  school   life. 

8.  Public  libraries  should  be  supported  by 
public  tax  as  are  the  public  schools. 

9.  Librarians  should  be  as  specially  trained 
for  their  work  as  are  teachers  for  theirs. 

10.  All  people  should  have  easy  access  to 
libraries. 

The  above  unit  be  submitted  to  the  Library 
Department  of  the  National  Education  Asso- 
ciation at  its  Boston  meeting  for  action.

ANNUAL  REPORTS 


FEDERAL  AND  STATE  RELATIONS 

In  the  report  of  the  1920-1921  Committee 
on  Federal  and  State  Relations,  submitted  at 
the  Swampscott  conference,  it  was  noted  that 
any  official  statements  suggesting  the  con- 
stitutional functions  of  the  Committee  make 
no  provision  for  outright  decision  and  action, 
although  in  practice  the  Committee  has  ad- 
vocated or  opposed  legislation  and  taken  a 
decided  stand  upon  matters  of  federal  ruling 
or  practice.  The  question  was  therefore 
asked,  "How  far  is  a  single  committee  au- 
thorized to  put  the  Association  on  record  or 
commit  it  to  a  policy  or  line  of  action" 
and  it  was  urged  that  consideration  be  given 
to  this  point  and  some  official  statement  be 
made  in  regard  to  it.  When  the  Committee 
was  reappointed  to  serve  for  1921-1922  the 
Chairman  again  put  this  question  and  at  the 
Chicago  meeting,  on  December  31,  the  Execu- 
tive Board  took  the  following  action : 

Voted,  That  the  Secretary  be  in- 
structed to  inform  the  chairmen  of  com- 
mittees who  are  in  doubt  as  to  what 
action  they  ought  to  take  when  con- 
fronted by  a  change  of  situation  that 
they  should  refer  matters  in  question  back 
to  the  President  to  be  laid  before  the 
Executive  Board  for  advice  before  tak- 
ing action. 

This  vote  of  the  Executive  Board  has  giv- 
en a  much  desired  definiteness  to  the  powers 
and  work  of  the  Committee. 

The  Committee  has  been  very  actively  at 
work  during  the  past  year  on  various  mat- 
ters relating  to  library  interests  in  connection 
with  the  federal  gbvernmenit.  The  most 
important  of  these  are  the  following: 

Fordney  tariff  on  books.  Shortly  after 
the  Swampscott  conference,  the  A.  L.  A. 
Committee  on  Book  Buying,  M.  L.  Raney, 
chairman,  took  a  vigorous  stand  against  the 
provisions  of  the  Fordney  tariff  legislation 
in  regard  to  the  importation  of  books,  and 
the  Committee  on  Federal  and  State  Rela- 
tions has  actively  co-operated  with  Dr. 
Raney's  Committee,  H.  H.  B.  Meyer,  having 
been  assigned  by  the  Chairman  as  its  Wash- 
ington representative. 

The  Fordney  bill,  briefly,  provides  that 
any  library  can  import,  free  of  duty,  not 


over  two  copies  of  any  book,  as  against  two 
in  any  one  invoice  as  at  present  allowed,  and 
omits  the  present  provision  for  the  general 
free  importation  of  books  in  foreign  lan- 
guages, which  would  make  it  necessary  for 
libraries  to  furnish  affidavits  for  these  books 
such  as  are  required  now  for  the  free  entry 
of  books  in  the  English  language.  It  also 
raises  the  duty,  for  individual  purchasers, 
from  15%  to  20%.  These  restrictions  con- 
stitute a  tax  on  knowledge  and  are  entirely 
unnecessary  from  a  protectionist  standpoint. 
Early  in  the  year,  therefore,  the  Executive 
Board  of  the  Association  approved  a  "State- 
ment as  to  Tariff  on  Books  in  the  Fordney 
Bill,"  with  suggested  amendments  to  the  bill, 
prepared  by  the  chairmen  of  the  two  com- 
mittees. This  was  forwarded  to  Senator 
Boies  Penrose,  Chairman  of  the  Senate  Com- 
mittee on  Finance,  by  the  central  office  of 
the  Association,  and  later  was  given  wide 
publicity  throughout  congressional,  educa- 
tional and  library  circles.  It  was  published  in 
the  Library  Journal  of  September  15,  with 
a  request  that  librarians  all  over  the  country 
write  to  their  representatives  and  senators 
urging  them  to  support  the  amendments  to 
the  bill,  and  later  appeared  in  other  library 
periodicals.  One  immediate  result  was  the 
adopting  by  various  influential  library  boards 
of  strong  resolutions  against  the  proposed 
changes  in  the  tariff  on  books.  Similar  reso- 
lutions were  adopted  by  the  conference  of 
Eastern  College  Librarians  held  at  Columbia 
University  at  Thanksgiving  time,  and,  at  the 
instance  of  our  Committee,  by  such  educa- 
tional bodies  as  the  Regents  of  the  University 
of  the  State  of  New  York.  Copies  of  the 
resolutions  were  in  all  cases  placed  before 
the  Committee  on  Finance  of  the  Senate,  and 
were  printed  in  library  publications  and  in 
the  daily  press.  Extended  articles  were  pub- 
lished in  leading  journals,  as  the  Educational 
Review,  all  with  the  suggestion  that  personal 
and  institutional  protests  be  sent  to  members 
of  Congress.  At  the  hearing  on  the  tariff 
on  December  21,  Dr.  Raney  appeared  as 
chief  spokesman  for  the  A.  L.  A.,  with  Mr. 
Meyer  in  attendance  also.  Copies  of  the  ar- 
gument presented  at  this  hearing  were  pub-

lished  in  the  hearings  themselves,  in  the  Edu- 
cational Record,  in  the  Library  Journal,  and, 
abridged,  in  Public  Libraries.  Reprints  were 
sent  broadcast  wherever  they  could  be  of  use. 

The  gratifying  result  of  all  this  endeavor 
was  announced  just  as  our  report  was  ready 
to  be  submitted  to  the  Association.  On  April 
10  Dr.  Raney  advised  the  members  of  his 
committee  and  the  Committee  on  Federal 
and  State  Relations  that  the  Senate  Commit- 
tee on  Finance  has  made  radical  revision  in 
the  tariff  bill,  to  the  effect  that  the  duty  has 
been  restored  to  15%,  the  limit  in  the  num- 
ber of  copies  a  library  may  import  free  en- 
tirely removed,  and  books  in  foreign  lan- 
guages to  continue  to  come  in  free. 

Copyright  legislation.  Our  committee  has 
also  co-operated  with  the  Committee  on  Book 
Buying  in  regard  to  impending  copyright  leg- 
islation detrimental  to  the  interest  of  libraries, 
in  that  American  publishers  are  seeking  to 
amend  the  existing  copyright  law  by  cancell- 
ing the  privilege,  enjoyed  by  institutions  and 
individuals,  of  importing  the  original  editions 
of  English  books  if  for  them  copyright  has 
also  been  secured.  Through  Dr.  Raney's 
efforts  the  A.  L.  A.  Council  at  the  Chicago 
meeting  gave  unanimous  rising  vote  in  favor 
of  a  copyright  resolution,  in  brief  reaffirm- 
ing the  Associati6n's  disapproval  of  any  meas- 
ure that  would  curtail  or  cancel  the  existing 
privileges  of  importation.  The  copyright  bill 
was  introduced  into  Congress  on  April  28. 
No  hearings  have  been  set,  but  both  Dr. 
Raney's  Committee  and  the  Committee  on 
Federal  and  State  Relations  are  prepared  to 
make  strong  opposing  representation. 

War  Department  library  budget.  When 
it  was  learned  that  the  current  War  De- 
partment estimates  included  not  one  dollar 
for  welfare  work  or  education,  the  Federal 
and  State  Relations  Committee  got  into  im- 
mediate touch  with  L.  L.  Dickerson,  De- 
velopment Specialist  for  Army  Libraries,  and 
proceeded  to  take  active  measures  looking 
toward  restoration  of  such  an  item.  The 
first  step  was  a  letter  to  the  Secretary  of 
War,  advocating  strong  effort,  through  a 
supplemental  budget,  to  have  reasonably  ade- 
quate provision  arranged  for  Army  library 


service.  Subsequent  information  from  both 
Mr.  Dickerson  and  the  Secretary  of  War  ad- 
vised us  that  such  a  supplemental  budget, 
carrying  $60,000  for  library  books  and  per- 
sonnel, was  sent  to  Congress,  with  the  Sec- 
retary's endorsement.  Mr.  Dickerson  ex- 
pressed his  satisfaction  with  the  amount  pro- 
vided, which  with  $20,000  in  the  Military 
Post  Exchange  item  for  periodicals,  made  the 
library  budget  actually  $80,000.  The  action 
next  in  order  was  preparation  for  the  hear- 
ings on  the  budget  before  Congress,  and  an 
effort  was  made  actively  to  interest  every 
congressman  on  the  Military  Affairs  Appro- 
priations Committee,  both  House  and  Senate, 
as  well  as  other  influential  congressmen. 
Members  of  our  Committee  were  advised  by 
the  chairman  to  see  that  letters  were  sent 
from  as  many  libraries  and  individuals  in 
their  districts  as  possible,  and  the  chairman 
himself  addressed  some  fifty  libraries  in  New 
York  State  and  certain  influential  librarians 
not  to  be  reached  by  other  members  of  the 
Committee,  urging  them  to  write  to  their 
congressmen  and  the  senators  from  New 
York  State  in  behalf  of  the  continuance  of 
library  work  by  the  War  Department.  Re- 
sponse both  from  members  of  the  Committee 
and  the  libraries  addressed  was  very  encour- 
aging and  indicated  a  keen  interest  in  and  ap- 
preciation of  this  peace  time  service  for  our 
soldiers.  In  the  face  of  all  this  representa- 
tion, however,  the  House  Sub-Committee 
struck  out  the  $60,000  item  and  even  re- 
duced the  Military  Post  Exchange  item  from 
$20,000  to  $15,000,  which  would  simply  buy 
books  without  providing  for  any  kind  of  li- 
brary service  and  put  an  end  altogether  to 
proper  library  administration.  But  the  Com- 
mittee and  friends  of  library  work  are  now 
hard  at  work  with  the  Senate  Committee  on 
Military  Affairs  in  the  hope  that  its  mem- 
bers will  replace  in  the  bill  the  $60,000  asked 
for  by  the  Secretary  of  War,  and  stand  firm 
in  conference  for  this  provision. 

United  States  Patent  Office  specifications. 
The  chairman  has  in  hand  letters  from  six 
or  seven  libraries  complaining  about  service 
from  the  United  States  Patent  Office  in  fur- 
nishing specifications  and  drawings  on  an-

ANNUAL    REPORTS 


nual  subscription  at  $50  each.  A  question- 
naire to  members  of  the  Committee  brought 
out  the  fact  that  there  are  fewer  than  twenty 
libraries  now  subscribing  at  $50  per  year,  and 
that  none  of  these  is  at  all  satisfied  with 
present  arrangements.  This  general  dissatis- 
faction results  from 

(1)  discontinuance   in    1912   of   binding  by 
the  Patent  Office  and  the  consequent  confu- 
sion   introduced    by    shipment    in    pamphlet 
form ; 

(2)  the  fact  that  separate  numbers  are  sent 
in   packages  at  irregular  intervals,   the  time 
of  arrival  bearing  no  discernible  relation  to 
the  weekly  date  of  issue  and  no  invoice  being 
sent  with  each  package ; 

(3)  the  number  of  missing  parts  and  the 
fact  that  even  after  advice  of  these  missing 
parts  has  been  sent  to  the  Patent  Office  they 
are  supplied  slowly  and  often  not  at  all,  one 
library  reporting  that  after  careful  checking 
5201  items  were  found  missing  in  three  and  a 
half  years  and  that  of  this  total  a  very  small 
portion  has  been  supplied  in  answer  to  claims ; 

(4)  discontinuance  of   the  useful  monthly 
index. 

The  trouble  seems  to  be  with  poor  and  in- 
sufficient help  at  the  Patent  Office.  Mr. 
Meyer,  our  Washington  member,  feels  that 
there  is  little  to  be  gained  by  adding  to  the 
burdens  of  this  office  and  that  the  most  effect 
can  be  had  through  representing  conditions  to 
those  committees  of  Congress  which  are  con- 
cerned with  appropriations  for  the  Patent 
Office.  Results  from  such  procedure  seem 
rather  hopeless  and  your  Committee  leaves 
the  matter  with  this  statement  of  fact. 

In  addition  to  the  foregoing,  several  im- 
portant matters  that  formed  part  of  the  Com- 
mittee's work  and  report  for  1920-1921  were 
carried  over  into  the  present  year.  These  in- 
clude the  following : 

The  Sterling-Towner  education  bill.  Af- 
ter submission  of  the  1920-1921  report,  but 
before  the  Swampscott  conference,  the  chair- 
man sent  out  a  circular  letter  to  the  mem- 
bers urging  them  to  strike  hard  and  imme- 
diately for  the  furtherance  of  the  Sterling- 
Towner  bill,  and  especially  for  adequate  li- 
brary representation  therein.  Each  member 


of  the  Committee  was  made  responsible  for 
a  certain  section  of  the  country  and  it  was 
suggested  that  a  strong  letter  or  telegram  go 
from  every  important  library  in  the  district 
to  Senator  Sterling  or  Judge  Towner.  This 
letter  of  the  chairman  was  further  enforced 
by  a  circular  letter  from  Joy  E.  Morgan 
of  the  National  Education  Association,  sug- 
gesting that  letters  be  sent  to  members  of 
the  committees  on  education  other  than  Judge 
Towner  and  Senator  Sterling.  Returns  from 
seven  members  of  the  Committee  indicate 
that  over  five  hundred  letters  were  sent  to 
Washington.  To  these  in  most  instances  very 
encouraging  replies  were  received  from  the 
congressmen  addressed.  At  the  National  Ed- 
ucation Association  conference  in  Washington 
in  support  of  the  bill,  the  Committee  was 
represented  by  Claribel  R.  Barnett,  and  at 
the  meeting  of  the  legislative  commission  of 
the  N.  E.  A.  in  Washington,  on  January  7, 
by  Joy  E.  Morgan. 

Bureau  of  education  statistical  report  on 
libraries.  The  chairman  and  members  of 
the  Committee  have  again  addressed  the 
United  States  Commissioner  of  Education  in 
behalf  of  an  early  edition  of  the  bulletin  on 
library  statistics  but  the  chairman,  at  least, 
has  had  no  reply  to  his  communication.  The 
Library  Journal  for  February  15,  however, 
carries  the  following  notice: 

"The  Library  of  the  United  States  Bureau 
of  Education  has  made  preliminary  plans  for 
a  new  edition  of  Bulletin  1915,  No.  25,  Statis- 
tics of  Public,  Society  and  School  Libraries, 
with  the  advice  and  co-operation  of  the  Com- 
mittee on  Federal  and  State  Relations  of  the 
American  Library  Association." 

Federal  salary  classifications.  This  mat- 
ter has  been  on  the  docket  of  the  Committee 
and  the  chairman  has  brought  copies  of  the 
1921  reclassification  bill  and  the  report  there- 
on informally  to  the  attention  of  those  who 
might  be  interested  and  influential  in  this 
connection.  Dr.  Bowerman  continues  in 
close  touch  with  the  Committee,  which  stands 
ready  to  meet  his  wishes  in  any  respect. 

Cheaper  library  book  post.  The  Com- 
mittee has  been  steadily  co-operating  with 
A.  L,  Spencer  of  Greenwood,  New  York, 


FOREIGN    PERIODICALS    OF  THE   WAR  PERIOD

in  an  effort  to  bring  about  a  reduction 
in  the  fourth  class  (parcel  post)  book  rate 
on  rural  delivery  routes  for  books  sent  to  or 
from  free  public  libraries.  At  the  Chicago 
meeting  the  A.  L.  A.  Council  adopted  the  fol- 
lowing resolution  in  this  connection: 

Resolved,  That  the  American  Li- 
brary Association  again  urge  upon  the 
Postmaster  General  the  imperative  need 
of  such  modification  of  the  initial  pound 
parcel  post  rate  on  books  passing  be- 
tween any  properly  defined  public  li- 
brary and  its  rural  population  adjacent, 
as  is  clearly  possible  within  the  limit  of 
a  desired  self-paying  character  of  the 
postal  service. 

In  furtherance  of  this  resolution,  the  Sec- 
retary of  the  A.  L.  A.  addressed  the  Post- 
master-General and  was  advised  that  the  mat- 
ter is  still  under  consideration.  The  chair- 
man and  members  of  the  Committee  stand 
ready  to  take  every  opportunity  to  write  a 
strong  letter  or  put  in  a  good  word  for  a 
cheaper  parcel  post  book  rate. 

The  activities  thus  set  forth  somewhat  in 
detail  have  involved  a  large  amount  of  cor- 
respondence, some  conference,  much  thought 
and  planning.  They  have  kept  the  Commit- 
tee very  fully  occupied  during  the  past  year. 
Partly  because  of  this,  it  has  not  been  pos- 
sible to  develop  to  any  considerable,  extent 
the  conception  of  the  function  of  the  Com- 
mittee suggested  over  a  year  ago  by  Secre- 
tary Milam  and  stated  in  our  last  report, 
that  the  Committee  "accept  as  its  field  the 
whole  province  of  government  service  to  li- 
braries." Moreover,  the  time  has  not  seemed 
ripe  for  furtherance  of  the  work  involved  in 
such  a  conception  of  the  Committee's  pur- 
pose. But  the  Committee  has  not  lost  sight 
of  this  ideal  and  stands  ready  to  do  all  in 
its  power  to  advance  an  enlarged  program 
for  library  development  in  this  country. 

The  foregoing  is  respectfully  submitted.

FOREIGN    PERIODICALS    OF    THE 
WAR  PERIOD 

The  Committee  on  Completing  the  Files  of 
German  Periodicals  offers  the  following  re- 
port of  its  activities  for  the  period  of  1921- 
1922: 

In  accordance  with  the  recommendations 
submitted  at  the  Swampscott  Conference 
and  through  the  courtesy  of  the  Institute 
of  International  Education  and  the  interest  of 
its  Director,  Stephen  P.  Duggan,  the  Com- 
mittee succeeded  in  compiling  a  joint  list 
of  desiderata  in  German  periodicals  for  the 
war  period,  which  list  was  sent  to  the  Not- 
gemeinschaft  der  Deutschen  Wissenschaft  for 
such  assistance  as  the  members  of  the  organi- 
zation can  supply.  Our  recommendation  sug- 
gested that  the  lists  be  in  the  hands  of  the 
Institute  of  International  Education  not  later 
than  July  15,  1921 ;  from  the  lists  submitted 
on  that  date  the  Committee  compiled  a  joint 
list  indicating  titles  and  the  number  of  each 
copy  or  issue  called  for.  After  work  began 
on  the  compilation  of  the  joint  list,  other 
lists  were  submitted.  These  lists  as  submitted 
by  individual  libraries,  together  with  the  joint 
list  as  submitted  by  the  Columbia  University 
Library,  the  New  York  Public  Library,  the 
New  York  State  Library,  the  Princeton  Uni- 
versity Library,  the  Yale  University  Library, 
the  U.  S.  Department  of  Agriculture  Library 
and  the  Eastman  Kodak  Company,  of  Roches- 
ter, New  York,  were  forwarded  to  the  Not- 
gemeinschaft. 

As  a  result  of  this  list  we  were  informed 
by  the  Notgemeinschaft  in  letters  dated 
March  3  and  April  10,  of  this  year,  that 
four  large  packages  are  ready  for  ship- 
ment through  the  Smithsonian  Institution 
Bureau  of  International  Exchanges.  At  the 
date  of  submission  of  this  report  nothing  fur- 
ther has  been  heard  on  this  point. 

We  received  also  from  the  Notgemein- 
schaft on  December  19,  1921,  and  on  Feb- 
ruary 4,  1922,  lists  of  their  desiderata  in 
the  field  of  American  periodicals  for  this  pe- 
riod. These  lists  were  sent  to  various  li- 
braries that  had  submitted  lists  of  their  dupli- 
cates in  German  periodicals  for  the  war  pe- 
riod. With  the  lists  went  a  letter  asking 


34 


ANNUAL    REPORTS 


each  institution  to  make  speedy  examination 
of  its  files  of  American  periodicals  for  this 
period,  noting  on  the  list  such  as  could  be 
forwarded  to  the  Notgemeinschaft  through 
the  Bureau  of  International  Exchanges  of  the 
Smithsonian  Institution  and  when  this  was 
done  forward  the  list  to  the  library  next  in 
order.  The  libraries  so  chosen  were  ar- 
ranged primarily  with  reference  to  the  num- 
ber of  duplicates  of  German  periodicals  for 
the  war  period  reported  by  them  as  available 
for  exchange.  These  lists  have  not  completed 
their  rounds.  At  the  date  of  this  report  we 
have  received  returns  from  eight  libraries 
showing  that  they  have  shipped  2,811  items 
for  this  purpose. 

As  a  result  of  our  recommendation  that 
libraries  submit  lists  of  German  periodicals 
held  by  them  in  duplicate  many  of  the  copies 
in  our  files  have  been  completed  by  sale  or 
exchange  among  co-operating  libraries. 

We  now  feel  that  once  the  duplicates  from 
the  Notgemeinschaft  have  been  received,  the 
opportunities  for  securing  by  gift  or  exchange 
the  periodicals  needed  for  completing  our 
files  are  practically  exhausted.  We  therefore 
recommend  that  at  a  date  to  be  determined 
later  and  to  be  fixed  within  a  reasonable  time 
after  receipt  of  the  shipment  from  the  Not- 
gemeinschaft, the  libraries  wishing  to  co-op- 
erate send  to  Otto  Harrassowitz,  14  Quer- 
strasse,  Leipzig,  Germany,  their  revised  list 
of  desiderata.  The  Committee  has  written  to 
Harrassowitz  explaining  the  situation  to  him 
and  has  learned  that  he  will  be  willing  to  act 
as  our  agent  in  buying  these  periodicals  in 
the  open  market.  We  are  convinced  that 
they  can  be  secured  in  no  other  way  and,  as 
set  forth  in  our  previous  reports,  we  are  like- 
wise convinced  that  the  best  interests  of  all 
will  be  served  by  co-operation.  Experience 
shows  us  that  little  more  can  be  hoped  for 
from  American  agents.  Our  recommendation 
is  that  notice  of  the  date  on  which  reports 
should  be  submitted  to  Harrassowitz  be 
given  through  the  Library  Journal  and  Pub* 
lie  Libraries. 

It  is  probable  that  cases  may  arise  where 
Harrassowitz  cannot  secure  a  sufficient  num- 
ber of  periodkals  to  supply  the  needs  of  all 


co-operating  libraries.  Our  recommendation 
in  such  an  event  is  that,  if  possible,  he  ar- 
range for  reprinting  a  quantity  large  enough 
to  supply  all,  pro-rating  the  cost  among  the 
institutions  that  need  this  particular  title.  Of 
course  we  must  ask  the  agent  in  case  of 
doubt  to  report  to  us  for  approval,  and  we 
must  assure  ourselves  that  the  cost  in  such 
cases  is  to  be  reasonable. 

Respectfully  submitted,

INSTITUTIONAL  LIBRARIES 
The  Committee  on  Institutional  Libraries 
has  been  particularly  interested  this  season 
in  two  movements:  (1)  The  preparation  of 
the  new  edition  of  A  thousand  books  for 
the  hospital  library  and  (2)  The  appeal  of 
the  American  Prison  Association  to  the 
American  Library  Association  in  behalf  of 
libraries  in  prisons. 

(1)  It  was  early  decided  to  rewrite  entirely 
the  original  list  and  to  add  to  it  lists  of  books 
for  children,  for  nurses'  training-schools,  and 
lists  of  periodicals ;  a  bibliography  of  litera- 
ture   on    hospital    libraries;    chapters    on   or- 
ganization, administration  and  book  selection, 
and  to   change  the  title   to    The  hospital   li- 
brary.    Because  the   members   of   the   Com- 
mittee are  so  widely  separated  geographically 
it  was  extremely  difficult  to  consult  them  upon 
the  countless  questions  which  were  continually 
arising  and  therefore  Miss  Jones  was  made 
editor  with  full  authority  and  responsibility. 

(2)  At  the  meeting  of  the  American  Prison 
Association  in  Jacksonville,  Florida,  last  fall, 
a  resolution  was  adopted  asking  the  A.  L.  A. 
to  provide  libraries  in  prisons  throughout  the 
United   States.     This  resolution  after    being 
presented  to  the  secretary  of  the  A.  L.  A.  was 
referred  to  the  committee  on  institutional  li- 
braries.    From  this  a  correspondence  resulted 
which  may  develop  into  a  discussion  of  the 
whole  question  of  prison  libraries  at  the  next 
annual  meeting  of  the  American  Prison  Asso- 
ciation.   The  Committee  hopes  to  have  defi- 
nite information  to  present  at  the  meeting  of 
the  A.  L.  A.  in  Detroit.

INTERNATIONAL  RELATIONS

INTERNATIONAL  RELATIONS 

The  Committee  on  International  Relations 
has,  during  the  past  year,  had  to  consider 
only  two  projects  referred  to  it: — one,  the 
matter  of  the  Book  Fair  at  Florence,  Italy, 
beginning  in  May,  1922;  and  the  other,  a  sug- 
gestion as  to  representation  of  the  A.  L.  A. 
in  a  Conference  upon  the  International  Cata- 
logue of  Scientific  Literature,  to  be  held  at 
Brussels  later  in  the  summer. 

There  was  also  referred  to  it  a  prospectus 
of  an  international  conference  on  education 
proposed  for  1923,  the  project  for  which  is 
still  too  inchoate  to  be  dealt  with  practically. 

E.  C.  Richardson,  a  member  of  the  Com- 
mittee, has  been  designated  as  represen- 
tative of  the  Association  to  attend  the  confer- 
ence at  Brussels. 

An  A.  L.  A.  exhibit  at  Florence  was,  after 
inquiry  and  consideration,  deemed  quite  im- 
practicable on  account  of  the  brief  period 
available  for  preparation,  the  lack  of  material 
on  hand,  and  the  expense  involved  in  the  as- 
semblage, transmittal,-  installation  and  admin- 
istration of  an  exhibit.  The  omission  of  an  ex- 
hibit seemed  to  the  Committee  perhaps 
less  to  be  regretted  from  the  fact 
that  while,  according  to  the  prospec- 
tus, the  Book  Fair  would  include  exhibits  by 
libraries  and  in  exposition  of  their  methods 
and  appliances,  it  was  to  be  primarily  a 
Book  Fair  for  the  promotion  of  commercial 
interests.

INVESTIGATION    OF    MANNER    IN 

WHICH  MUNICIPALITIES  ARE 

MEETING  OBLIGATIONS 

TO  DONORS 

Since  the  problem  given  this  Committee 
to  solve  had  been  carefully  outlined  in  its 
report  of  last  year,  the  next  step,  that  of 
beginning  active  work,  seemed  a  simple  one. 

Finding  the  Carnegie  Corporation  had  no 
later  statistics  than  were  available  last  year, 
the  following  plan  has  been  evolved: 

That  there  be  submitted  to  the  A.  L.  A. 
the  recommendation  that  it  approve  and  act 


on  Sections  2  and  3  of  last  year's  report 
through  a  form  letter  and  a  form  newspaper 
story. 

(Suggestions  referred  to  in  sections  2  and 
3  of  last  year's  report  are  as  follows :  2,  To 
appeal  through  state  library  commission  di- 
rectly to  delinquent  libraries  (a)  to  library 
boards,  (b)  to  mayors ;  3,To  send  letters  to 
state  authorities,  as  commissions,  governors). 
After  this  had  been  done  and  all  possible 
effort  been  made  to  secure  the  present  stand- 
ing of  delinquent  Carnegie  Libraries  and  to 
bring  them  up  to  the  required  standards, 
that  a  list  of  all  those  still  found  delinquent 
be  published  as  was  suggested  in  Section  4 
of  last  year's  report;  but  wholly  upon  the  re- 
sponsibility of  the  A.  L.  A.  or  State  De- 
partments and  with  no  implication  of  the 
Carnegie  Corporation  in  such  publication. 

And  to  offset  this  list  that  an  honor  list 
of  all  libraries  which  had  increased  their 
appropriations  more  than  15%  or  20%  be 
also  published. 

The  latest  statistics  from  the  Carnegie 
Corporation  have  been  secured  and  are  being 
sent  with  this  report.  The  Committee  re- 
spectfully tenders  this  as  their  final  report 
and  asks  to  be  released.

JOINT   COMMITTEE   OF   SEVEN 

No   matters    for   the  consideration   of   the 
Joint   Committee  of   Seven,   representing  the 
American  Library  Association    and  the    Spe- 
cial  Libraries   Association,  were  referred  to 
the  Committee  this  past  year,  and  for  that 
reason  the  Committee  has   been  inactive.

Library  Legislation  in  1922 

Eleven  states  held  legislative  sessions  this 
year.  Library  laws  were  passed  in  Kentucky, 
Maryland,  Massachusetts,  New  Jersey,  New 
York  and  Virginia.  No  library  legislation 
was  enacted  in  Colorado  (special  session),

Georgia,     Louisiana,    Mississippi  and   Rhode 
Island. 

This  report  includes  also  last  year's  spe- 
cial session  in  Missouri  and  the  regular  ses- 
sion of  California,  which  ended  too  late  for 
full  inclusion  in  last  year's  report. 

Establishment   and   Tax 

New  York  state  passed  a  number  of  minor 
amendments  to  the  general  education  law 
relative  to  libraries. 

A  New  Jersey  act  permits  a  municipality 
to  appropriate  in  the  current  budget  for  its 
library  a  sum  equal  •  to  that  paid  into  the 
general  treasury  by  the  library  the  proceeding 
year.  Such  sum  shall  be  in  addition  to  the 
regular  appropriation.  This  refers  to  the 
fines  and  other  money  earned  by  the  library, 
which  had  been  taken  away  from  libraries 
by  the  budget  act. 

Missouri  at  the  extra  session  last  year 
amended  the  regular  library  law,  providing 
that  in  case  of  an  increase  in  valuation  of 
the  taxable  property  within  an  incorporated 
city  the  common  council  may  reduce  the  levy 
provided  by  law  for  library  maintenance  to 
an  amount  which  the  council  deems  suffi- 
cient, but  not  over  ten  percent  more  than 
was  levied  the  previous  year.  ''Similar  amend- 
ments were  adopted  by  the  legislature  with 
regard  to  practically  all  local  expenditures  on 
account  of  the  great  increase  in  property 
valuation  in  this  state  which  has  been  taking 
place  last  year  and  this." 

In  Virginia  "a  bill  providing  for  the  for- 
mation of  local  memorial  libraries  by  means 
of  funds  raised  by  taxation,  if  the  localities 
elected  to  tax  themselves,  and  providing  state 
aid,  failed  to  pass." 

State  Agencies 

California  last  year  in  the  general  amend- 
ment of  the  political  code  abolished  the 
board  of  trustees  of  the  state  library  and 
transferred  their  powers  and  duties  to  the 
state  department  of  finance.  "The  statutes 
and  laws  under  which  they  existed  and  all 
laws  prescribing  their  duties,  powers,  pur- 
poses and  responsibilities  and  jurisdiction  to- 
gether with  all  lawful  rules  and  regulations 


established  thereunder  are  hereby  expressly 
continued  in  force."  "The  division  of  li- 
braries" becomes  one  of  the  six  divisions  of 
the  department  of  finance.  While  the  logic 
of  this  arrangement  is  not  clear  to  one  at  a 
distance,  it  is  evidently  much  more  tolerable 
to  the  state  librarian  than  "the  ghost  of 
school  control  of  the  library,"  which  he  dis- 
cusses with  decided  force  and  fullness  in  the 
January  1921  number  of  News  Notes  of 
California  Libraries.  The  change  makes 
practically  no  difference  in  the  operation  of 
the  state  library. 

The  Kentucky  library  commission  law  was 
amended  by  omitting  four  words  limiting  the 
secretary's  salary,  which  is  now  properly  at 
the  discretion  of  the  commission. 

Another  state  library  commission  has  been 
absorbed  by  a  state  department  of  education. 
This  time  it  happened  in  Maryland  as  a  re- 
sult of  the  governor's  "comprehensive  plan 
of  re-organization  of  the  entire  state  govern- 
ment with  a  comparatively  small  number  of 
departments.  In  that  re-organization  the 
library  commission  had  to  be  placed  some- 
where and  obviously  the  department  of  edu- 
cation was  the  proper  one  in  which  to  place 
it."  The  functions  of  the  commission  de- 
volve upon  the  state  superintendent  of 
schools.  The  governor  is  to  appoint  five  per- 
sons, who  with  the  state  librarian  and  the 
librarian  of  the  Enoch  Pratt  Free  Library 
shall  constitute  the  Maryland  Public  Library 
Advisory  Commission,  which  shall  advise  and 
counsel  with  the  superintendent  with  respect 
to  his  library  duties. 

In  Massachusetts  a  movement  to  abolish 
its  work  among  aliens  in  libraries  was  fore- 
stalled by  securing  an  amendment  to  the 
law  defining  the  functions  of  the  Board  of 
Free  Public  Library  Commissioners. 

County  Libraries 

A  1921  California  law  amended  the  po- 
litical code  relative  to  county  officers  by  add- 
ing "a  county  librarian"  to  the  list  of  sixteen 
enumerated  county  officers.  The  state  li- 
brarian writes :  "This  is  part  of  the  move- 
ment to  incorporate  the  county  library  as  an 
integral  part  of  the  county  government  and 


LEGISLATION 


37 


to  give  to  the  county  librarian  a  legal  status 
equal  to  that  of  other  county  officers."  One 
of  the  results  is  that  "most  of  the  county  li- 
brary salaries  were  increased  by  amendment 
to  the  county  government  act  rather  than 
by  amendment  to  the  county  library  law." 
Hitherto  these  salaries  were  prescribed  in 
the  county  library  law ;  now  they  come  up 
for  consideration  in  the  general  salary  bill 
passed  by  the  legislature  for  each  county. 
The  increases  made  last  year  affected  the 
county  librarians  in  30  counties,  increases 
ranging  from  $200  to  $600  per  person,  so 
that  present  salaries  range  from  $1000  to 
$3000,  the  largest  number  being  between 
$1800  and  $2400. 

A  New  Jersey  amendment  specifies  the 
power  of  the  county  library  commission  to 
purchase  supplies  and  equipment  and  limits 
such  purchases  to  the  amount  appropriated. 
Another  New  Jersey  law  relating  to  county 
libraries  is  given  under  school  district  li- 
braries. 

The  members  of  the  Mississippi  Library 
Association  "have  been  trying  for  a  number 
of  years  to  get  a  liberal  county  library  law 
passed  but  have  failed  thus  far."  They  had 
their  usual  experience  this  year.  Two  years 
ago  a  law  was  passed  permitting  counties 
with  an  assessed  valuation  over  eighteen  mil- 
lion dollars  to  appropriate  not  over  $3000  an- 
nually toward  the  support  of  one  or  more 
public  libraries  in  the  county.  Only  nine 
counties  in  the  state  could  qualify  under  this 
law  and  of  these  only  three  are  contributing 
to  the  support  of  libraries.  In  some  of  the 
other  counties  there  are  no  public  libraries, 
negroes  outnumbering  the  whites  by  several 
hundred  percent.  The  state  library  associa- 
tion will  continue  its  efforts  for  library  leg- 
islation. 

School  District  Libraries 

In  California  apportionment  of  the  fund 
for  school  district  libraries  is  to  be  "such 
sum  as  may  be  requested  by  the  school  trus- 
tees of  such  district,"  but  not  less  than  $25 
for  each  teacher ;  if  the  trustees  fail  to  file 
request  the  county  superintendent  shall 
make  apportionment  not  exceeding  $50  per 


teacher.  Formerly  this  was  on  a  percentage 
basis,  five  to  ten  percent  of  the  school  fund, 
but  not  to  exceed  $50  per  district  except  in 
districts  having  five  or  more  teachers,  where 
it  was  to  be  not  under  $10  or  over  $15  per 
teacher. 

New  Jersey  amended  her  law  authorizing 
state  duplication  of  money  raised  by  any 
school  district  for  library  purposes,  $20  for 
establishment  and  $10  annually.  The  amend- 
ment provides  for  these  amounts  to  be  paid 
by  the  state  through  the  county  library  com- 
mission of  any  county  where  a  co-operative 
agreement  has  been  made  between  the  county 
library  and  the  local  school. 

Special  Legislation 

Laws  applying  to  special  places  are  not 
generally  included.  Note  is  here  made,  how- 
ever, of  a  few  in  New  York  state  on  account 
of  their  possible  suggestiveness  to  those  in- 
terested. Of  three  laws  passed  for  the  bene- 
fit of  law  libraries  in  Catskill,  Plattsburgh 
and  Albany,  the  latter  provides  for  consoli- 
dating the  Albany  county  law  library  with 
the  appellate  division  library,  third  depart- 
ment, and  makes  an  appropriation  for  the  li- 
brarian's salary  at  not  exceeding  $3500. 

An  amendment  to  the  Oneonta  city  charter 
changes  the  name  of  the  Oneonta  Public  Li- 
brary to  "The  Huntington  Memorial  Li- 
brary" pursuant  to  the  request  of  Mr.  Henry 
E.  Huntington,  who  has  already  made  valu- 
able gifts  to  the  city  for  library  and  park 
purposes  and  who  proposes  to  endow  the 
same  in  memory  of  his  parents. 

An  amendment  to  the  greater  New  York 
charter  permits  the  sale  of  corporate  stock 
for  the  erection  and  equipment  of  the  central 
library  in  the  borough  of  Brooklyn.  The 
next  step  will  be  for  the  board  of  estimate 
and  apportionment  to  authorize  the  sale  of 
the  stock. 

A  law  which  passed  the  legislature  but 
was  not  approved  by  the  mayor  amended  the 
greater  New  York  charter  giving  public  li- 
brary trustees  power  to  select  library  sites 
subject  to  the  approval  of  the  board  of  esti- 
mate and  apportionment,  prepare  plans, 
award  contracts  and  supervise  construction 


38 


ANNUAL   REPORTS 


of  new  library  buildings.  In  the  acquisition 
of  such  sites  the  library  board  was  to  have 
all  the  powers  of  the  board  of  education  and 
contracts  for  the  construction  of  new  li- 
brary buildings  were  to  be  let  in  the  same 
manner  as  contracts  for  new  school  build- 
ings. 

Appropriations 

Reports  were  not  available  from  all  of  the 
states  mentioned.  Amounts  given  are  for 
two  years  unless  otherwise  stated. 

Kentucky:  State  library  commission  $15,- 
000,  state  library  $13,824,  state  historical  so- 
ciety $10,000. 

Maryland:  Public  library  commission 
$11,982,  state  library  $11,600,  legislative  refer- 
ence bureau  $3725  for  1923  and  $7550  the 
next  year. 

Massachusetts:  Department  of  education, 
division  of  public  libraries  $24,100  for  one 
year. 

Missouri :  State  library  commission  $1200 
in  addition  to  previous  $25,500  for  two  years, 
1921-22. 

New  Jersey  for  one  year :  Public  library 
commission  $47,980;  state  library  $19,900; 
record  bureau,  which  takes  place  of  histori- 
cal society,  $10,500.  The  following  amounts 
are  appropriated  to  the  departments  named 
but  spent  under  supervision  of  the  public 
library  commission :  Agricultural  extension 
department  $3000,  for  books  on  agriculture 
for  their  farm  demonstrators ;  department 
of  institutions  and  agencies  $5000,  for  li- 
braries in  institutions ;  department  of  educa- 
tion $1000  for  teachers'  libraries. 

Virginia:  State  library  $41,142.50  for  year 
ending  Feb.,  1923,  and  $41,067.50  the  next 
year;  state  law  library  $7250  each  year;  leg- 
islative reference' bureau  $8851  and  $9451; 
world  war  history  commission  $7500  each 
year;  aid  to  local  school  libraries  each  year 
$3000.  Work  done  by  a  library  commission 
in  other  states  "will  be  more  thoroughly  done 
hereafter  because  the  general  assembly  made 
an  appropriation  sufficient  to  enable  the  state 
library  board  to  secure  the  services  of  a  li- 
brary organizer." 


Contemplated  Legislation 

These  contemplations  vary  in  definiteness 
from  vague  hopes  to  formulated  bills,  some 
of  which  were  drawn  but  not  introduced, 
others  were  introduced  but  defeated,  still 
others  have  been  passed  but  are  admittedly 
defective  and  should  and  will  be  improved. 

A  report  of  the  Michigan  Library  Associa- 
tion in  October,  1921,  says  "So  far  as  legisla- 
tion is  concerned,  the  last  session  of  the  leg- 
islature made  conditions  for  getting  adequate 
library  service  to  the  largest  half  of  the  peo- 
ple of  the  state  worse  than  they  were  be- 
fore." The  Association  has  pledged  its  re- 
sources in  a  vigorous  effort  to  "secure  the 
library  legislation  which  Michigan  so  sorely 
*  needs."  Among  the  items  on  the  legislative 
program  of  the  Association  are  (1)  a  general 
revision  of  the  library  legislation  of  the 
state,  with  a  view  to  combine  all  general  li- 
brary laws  into  one  act  under  the  education 
clause  of  the  constitution;  (2)  a  law  making 
officials  of  libraries  competent  to  certify  to 
printed  or  manuscript  material  in  their  pos- 
session, so  that  such  certified  copies  will  be 
legal  evidence  in  court;  (3)  provision  for  a 
retirement  fund  for  librarians;  (4)  "adequate 
organization  and  means  to  carry  out  system- 
atic, centralized  and  state  wide  library 
work." 

The  last  legislature  abolished  the  state  li- 
brary commission  and  transferred  its  duties 
to  the  state  library  without  adequate  appro- 
priation. The  association  memorialized  the 
governor  and  the  administrative  board  of  the 
state  on  this  subject.  It  also  passed  a  resolu- 
tion opposing  the  effort  to  repeal  the  law  di- 
recting the  use  of  penal  fines  for  library  pur- 
poses without  concurrent  adequate  substitute 
for  library  support. 

Certification.  In  Minnesota,  where  the 
certification  feature  was  partly  responsible 
for  the  defeat  last  year  of  amendments  to 
the  county  library  law,  the  state  education 
department,  which  has  absorbed  the  state 
library  commission,  has  as  a  part  of  its  pro- 
gram "to  bring  library  service  to  a  higher 
degree  of  proficiency  by  setting  up  profes- 
sional standards  for  librarians  to  correspond 


LEGISLATION 


39 


with  those  set  for  teachers  in  the  same  com- 
munities and  to  provide  for  their  attainment." 

At  the  October  meeting  of  the  Missouri 
Library  Association  a  report  on  certification 
was  presented  which  will  probably  be  incor- 
porated in  a  bill  to  be  introduced  in  the  legis- 
lature next  year. 

Township  Libraries.  "In  Indiana  town 
library  boards  and  county  library  boards 
have  the  right  to  fix  their  own  tax  levy  with- 
in a  ten  percent  limit.  About  150  of  our  207 
tax  supported  libraries  obtain  in  addition  a 
tax  from  one  or  more  townships,  but  our 
township  support  act  does  not  give  the  library 
board  the  right  to  fix  the  township  library 
levy,  but  this  is  fixed  by  the  governing  body 
of  the  civil  township."  At  the  next  session 
of  the  legislature  an  effort  will  probably  be 
made  to  give  library  boards  in  townships  the 
same  right  in  regard  to  the  tax  levy  as  they 
have  in  towns  and  cities. 

County  Libraries.  In  Colorado,  where 
the  county  library  has  been  defeated  in  two 
different  sessions,  "The  Colorado  Library  As- 
sociation is  contemplating  the  wisdom  of  re- 
introducing  next  year  the  proposed  county 
library  bill." 

The  Indiana  county  library  law  provides 
for  a  city  library  to  extend  its  service  to 
townships  outside  the  city  and  for  a  tax  to  be 
levied  on  all  such  parts  of  the  county.  An 
amendment  last  year  provided  that  "Said  tax 
shall  be  continued  so  long  as  ten  percent  of 
the  inhabitants  of  the  districts  [plural]  so 
taxed  outside  the  limits  of  said  city  or  town 
are  found  to  be  users  of  said  library."  This 
year  in  one  county  enough  card  holders  with- 
drew in  one  district  to  bring  the  number  of 
users  in  that  district  below  the  ten  percent 
requirement,  and  so  the  county  commissioners 
dropped  the  tax.  By  changing  the  word 
'"districts"  to  "district,"  that  is,  by  making  it 
singular  instead  of  plural,  it  will  be  impos- 
sible for  a  single  district  to  cause  a  discon- 
tinuation of  the  tax  in  all  of  the  townships 
so  long  as  the  combined  use  of  several  dis- 
tricts is  up  to  the  ten  percent  limit. 

In  Minnesota  the  state  commissioner  of 
education  says :  "We  hope  for  an  amend- 
ment to  our  county  library  laws  to  facilitate 


the  establishment  of  county  libraries  through- 
out the  state." 

Missouri  worked  six  years  for  a  county  li- 
brary law,  which  was  passed  on  the  last  day 
of  last  year's  session.  "No  such  library  has 
as  yet  been  organized  under  this  law ;  in  fact 
it  seems  nearly  impossible  at  present  on  ac- 
count of  the  tax  situation  in  general  and 
because  most  counties  have  already  reached 
the  limit  of  taxation  allowed  under  the  con- 
stitution. In  a  month  or  two  the  constitu- 
tional convention  will  convene  and  it  has  been 
suggested  that  library  interests  try  to  secure 
an  amendment  which  will  allow  a  county  li- 
brary tax  to  be  levied  in  addition  to  the  maxi- 
mum fixed  for  general  purposes — a  provision 
which  is  already  in  force  for  school  pur- 
poses." 

The  state  library  commission  of  North 
Dakota  is  carrying  on  a  campaign  of  public- 
ity in  favor  of  a  county  library  law  which 
it  is  confident  will  be  enacted  at  the  next  ses- 
sion of  the  legislature. 

In  many  cases  in  Pennsylvania  where  the 
county  library  proposition  is  considered, 
"there  is  a  fear  that  the  county  seat  or  some 
other  town  will  get  the  lion's  share  of  the 
books  and  the  work,  and  the  rest  of  the 
county  will  be  left  out  in  the  cold."  For  this 
reason  the  question  has  been  raised  "whether 
it  would  be  advisable  to  provide  that  libraries 
already  existing  could  come  into  the  county 
system  and  retain  control  and  title  to  what- 
ever property  they  may  have  gathered  and 
that  county  library  books  should  be  distrib- 
uted in  the  different  communities  pro  rata 
to  the  population." 

Washington  will  try  again  at  the  next  ses- 
sion for  a  county  library  law,  which  failed 
last  year. 

State  Agencies.  The  Massachusetts  board 
of  free  public  library  commissioners  failed  in 
an  attempt  to  enlarge  the  scope  of  its  work 
to  include  aid  to  libraries  in  state  and  county 
institutions.  The  bill  "was  referred  to  the 
next  legislature  because  of  the  very  strong 
feeling  just  at  present  throughout  the  state 
that  the  state  is  trying  to  assume  too  many 
responsibilities." 

"For  several  years  the  South  Carolina  Li- 


40 


ANNUAL   REPORTS 


brary  Association  and  the  federation  of  wom- 
en's clubs  have  been  conducting  a  campaign 
to  secure  a  library  commission.  The  bill  has 
been  killed  twice  owing  to  the  appropriation 
asked.  This  year  the  financial  situation  was 
such  that  we  determined  not  even  to  introduce 
a  bill.  Next  year  we  hope  to  get  favorable 
action." 

Tennessee  "librarians  have  visions  of  a 
state  library  department  on  a  par  with  the 
education  department,  but  the  time  is  not 
yet  ripe  for  this." 

In  Virginia,  "Two  years  ago  the  general 
assembly  made  an  appropriation  for  the  erec- 
tion of  a  memorial  library  to  commemorate 
the  services  of  Virginia  troops  in  the  world 
war.  The  1922  assembly  finding  that  no  prog- 
ress had  been  made  on  the  work  of  erecting 
a  building,  not  only  refused  a  further  appro- 
priation but  also  took  away  the  amount  ap- 
propriated two  years  ago.  This  leaves  the 
library  board  and  the  war  memorial  com- 
mission, the  two  bodies  designated  by  law  to 
erect  the  building,  without  any  funds,  but 
with  a  site  on  which  to  erect  the  building. 
It  is  hoped  that  the  legislature  of  1924  will 
provide  the  funds." 

WILLIAM  F.  YUST,  Chairman. 

LIBRARY   ADMINISTRATION 

During  the  year  1920-21,  the  Committee  on 
Library  Administration  at  the  request  of  the 
President  made  a  tentative  revision  of  the 
uniform  form  for  library  statistics  originally 
adopted  by  the  Association  in  1914.  There 
was  insufficient  time  to  make  the  revision 
as  carefully  as  was  desirable,  but  the  tenta- 
tive revision  was  printed  and  distributed  to 
several  hundred  libraries  of  the  country  by 
the  Secretary  of  the  Association.  This  form 
was  designed  for  use  by  public  libraries,  not 
by  college  and  reference  libraries.  As  was 
hoped,  the  use  of  the  form  brought  forth  a 
number  of  criticisms  and  suggestions,  which 
enabled  the  Committee  during  the  year  1921- 
22  still  further  to  revise  it.  This  later  re- 
vision has  now  been  printed  and  distributed 
by  the  Secretary  of  the  Association. 

At  the  Swampscott  meeting,  the  chair- 
man of  the  Committee  presented  to  the  Col- 


lege and  Reference  Section  the  need  for  a 
similar  form  of  statistics  for  use  by  the  col- 
lege and  reference  libraries  of  the  country. 
A  special  committee  was  appointed  by  the 
College  and  Reference  Section  with  Mr. 
Gerould  of  Princeton  as  chairman,  this  com- 
mittee to  co-operate  with  the  Committee  on 
Library  Administration.  The  two  commit- 
tees working  together  during  the  year  1921- 
22  have  devised  a  form  of  report  for  college 
and  reference  libraries.  This  form  is  similar 
to  the  one  in  use  by  public  libraries.  Un- 
doubtedly, criticisms  and  suggestions  will  be 
made  by  the  libraries  using  the  form  this 
first  year  and  thus  next  year  the  form  may  be 
revised  to  advantage. 

Respectfully  submitted, 
FRANKLIN  F.  HOPPER,  Chairman. 

LIBRARY    CO-OPERATION    WITH 
OTHER   COUNTRIES 

The  Committee  was  not  appointed  until 
late  in  1921.  The  Chairman  was  absent  in 
Europe  at  the  time  he  was  appointed.  There 
has  been  no  opportunity  to  hold  a  meeting  of 
the  Committee  during  the  year. 

Much,  work  has,  however,  been  done  by 
correspondence,  and  certain  sub-committees 
have  been  very  active  in  gathering  material 
and  in  answering  letters  addressed  to  the 
Committee.  The  chief  function  of  the  Com- 
mittee has  been  that  of  answering  inquiries 
received  from  abroad  either  directly  by  the 
Committee  or  by  the  Headquarters  of  the 
American  Library  Association,  and  referred 
tc  the  Committee  by  the  Secretary  or  by  the 
President.  In  many  instances  the  Chairman 
has  answered  an  inquiry  without  referring  it 
directly  to  another  member  of  the  Commit- 
tee. Most  of  these  requests  have  been  for 
information  which  could  be  supplied  from 
material  easily  accessible  in  print.  They  have 
involved  letters  frequently  of  some  length. 
The  replies  appear  to  have  been  helpful  in  a 
number  of  instances  where  librarians  abroad 
have  inquired  about  American  practice  and 
have  sought  the  addresses  of  specialists  in 
various  lines  of  library  work  in  the  United 
States,  etc. 

The  Chairman  of  the  Committee  visited  the 


LIBRARY    CO-OPERATION    WITH    OTHER    COUNTRIES 


41 


Institut  International  de  Bibliographic  at 
Brussels  in  October,  and  received  later  from 
Monsieur  Otlet,  the  Director  of  the  Insti- 
tute, an  extremely  interesting  plea  and  plan 
for  co-operation  between  American  libraries 
and  the  Institute.  This  communication  is 
printed  as  an  appendix  to  this  report. 

The  Committee  has  not  had  an  opportunity 
to  confer  upon  this  matter  and  refrains  from 
recommendation  in  consequence.  Of  course, 
this  and  other  matters  involving  considerable 
outlays  of  money  can  be  considered  at  pres- 
ent only  as  interesting  and  valuable  problems 
whose  consummation  would  unquestionably  be 
of  incalculable  aid  to  the  progress  of  knowl- 
edge. 

The  Chairman,  at  the  instance  of  the 
President  of  the  American  Library  Associa- 
tion, visited  the  Army  and  Y.  M.  C.  A.  Li- 
braries in  the  "Occupied  Area"  in  charge  of 
the  American  Forces  in  Germany.  He  was 
given  every  opportunity  to  inspect  the  work 
which  was  begun  by  the  American  Library 
Association,  and  which  has  been  so  well  car- 
ried on  under  the  direction  of  Elizabeth  B. 
Steere,  by  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  and  the  Army 
working  in  conjunction.  As  a  result  of  this 
visit  cables  were  sent  to  various  libraries  in 
America  and  individual  contributions  of  books 
were  made  in  large  numbers,  in  addition  to 
books  purchased  with  the  sum  of  $1000  voted 
by  the  Executive  Board  of  the  American  Li- 
brary Association. 

One  of  the  members  of  the  Committee, 
Jessie  M.  Carson  of  the  New  York  Pub- 
lic Library,  has  been  resident  in  France  for 
some  years  now  in  charge  of  the  library  work 
carried  on  by  the  American  Committee  for 
Devastated  France.  Miss  Carson  has  served 
as  a  connecting  link  between  the  American 
Library  Association  and  this  Committee  and 
libraries  in  France  and  Brussels.  It  has  been 
possible  to  refer  inquirers  to  her,  thus  saving 
much  time,  which  because  of  the  long  distance 
between  Europe  and  the  United  States,  would 
have  been  wasted  in  the  mails.  Parentheti- 
cally, it  may  be  observed  that  Miss  Carson's 
effective  presentation  of  the  work  of  herself 
and  her  colleagues  in  the  devastated  region 


of  France  was  one  of  the  notable  features 
of  the  Manchester  meeting  of  the  British  Li- 
brary Association. 

The  Committee  has  had  much  correspond- 
ence with  the  director  of  the  American 
Library  in  Paris,  W.  Dawson  Johnston, 
who  is  endeavoring  with  great  success  to 
serve  as  a  medium  of  communication  be- 
tween French  and  American  libraries.  Some 
of  the  matters  inaugurated  by  Mr.  Johnston 
are  almost  certain  to  have  far-reaching  results 
in  the  future. 

The  Sub-Committee,  headed  by  Cor- 
nelia Marvin,  has  continued  its  work  in  gath- 
ering information  as  to  library  activities  in 
Eastern  Asia,  and  as  to  collections  of  books 
in  East  Asiatic  languages  in  the  United 
States.  A  summary  of  the  report  of  this 
committee  is  given  as  an  appendix. 

One  of  the  difficulties  facing  the  Commit- 
tee was  a  definition  of  its  functions.  There 
was  no  wish  on  the  part  of  any  member  of 
this  Committee  to  trespass  on  the  field  of  the 
Committee  on  International  Relations.  The 
distinction  between  the  work  of  the  two  Com- 
mittees was  so  well  defined  by  Herbert 
Putnam,  of  the  Library  of  Congress,  in  a 
letter  to  the  Chairman  of  the  Committee,  that 
it  is  printed  herewith. 

December  27,  1921. 
Dear  Mr.  Bishop: 

.  .  .  As  to  the  two  Committees :  The 
reason  for  the  creation  of  the  one  on  Co- 
operation was  that  the  one  on  International 
Relations  deemed  itself  concerned  only  with 
matters  of  larger  policy  in  which  the  A.  L. 
A.,  as  such,  might  have  relations  of  an  inter- 
national character. 

It  did  not,  for  instance,  feel  that  it  could 
deal  with  the  projects  for  practical  co-opera- 
tive work  such  as  were  involved  in  various 
appeals  or  suggestions  that  come  from  abroad 
— as  for  children's  libraries  in  Belgium,  etc., 
etc.,  the  most  of  which  involve,  if  not  actual 
supply  of  material,  at  least  advice,  sugges- 
tion and  counsel  from  this  side. 

Hence  the  establishment  of  the  new  Com- 
mittee. 

There  need,  I  think,  be  no  conflict  of 
jurisdiction,  as  our  Committee  would  have 
concern  with  matters  dealt  with  by  yours  only 
in  case  they  should  reach  a  point  where  the 
Association  is  called  upon,  as  an  Association, 
to  enter  into  a  relation  of  international  char- 
acter. In  any  such  case  our  Committee 


42 


ANNUAL    REPORTS 


might  be  drawn  into  consultation  with  yours 
as  to  questions  of  policy  involved.     .     . 
Faithfully  yours, 
HERBERT  PUTNAM, 

Librarian. 

All  the  work  of  the  year  has  been  done 
in  accordance  with  the  spirit  of  the  fore- 
going letter,  which  seems  to  mark  off  very 
definite  fields  for  the  work  of  the  two  com- 
mittees. 

The  Committee  believes  that  there  is  a 
reasonable  amount  of  current  work  which 
can  best  be  done  through  a  committee  of 
the  American  Library  Association.  It,  there- 
fore, suggests  that  the  Committee  be  made 
a  standing  committee  and  that  its  activities 
be  restricted  to  matters  which  do  not  in- 
volve action  by  the  Association  as  a  whole 
in  the  field  of  international  relations. 
Respectfully  submitted, 
WM.  W.  BISHOP,  Chairman. 

Appendix  A 

Report  of  the  Sub-Committee  on  the 
Far  East 

The  Sub-Committee  on  the  Far  East  has 
been  occupied  during  the  year  with  answer- 
ing individual  requests  for  aid  and  with 
gathering  data  on  library  activities  in  China, 
Japan,  and  the  Philippines.  This  material 
is  so  extensive  that  it  can  only  be  summar- 
ized for  purposes  of  this  report.  The  chair- 
man of  the  Sub-Committee  is  engaged  in 
compiling  a  more  elaborate  report  which  will 
doubtless  appear  in  the  library  press  in  the 
course  of  a  few  months. 

The  Committee  calls  the  attention  of  the 
Association  to  the  suggestion  made  in  the 
New  Republic  of  the  fifteenth  of  March, 
1922.  All  the  money  comprising  the  Boxer 
Indemnity  Fund  has  not  been  returned  to 
China.  The  House  of  Representatives  has 
passed  a  bill  authorizing  the  return  of  the 
residue,  the  income  of  which  will  doubtless 
yield  about  $500,000  annually.  The  Senate 
has  not  up  to  this  date  acted  on  this  bill. 
The  New  Republic  suggests  that  the  in- 
come be  used  for  libraries  and  popular  edu- 
cation in  China,  rather  than  in  the  form  of 
fellowships  for  Chinese  students,  which  is 
the  purpose  to  which  the  original  fund  has 


been  devoted  by  the  Chinese  Government. 
The  suggestion  is  a  notable  one  and  the  Com- 
mittee feels  that  the  officers  of  the  American 
Library  Association  should  take  cognizance 
of  it,  and  should,  if  possible,  bring  influence 
to  bear  in  Washington  to  see  that  the  matter 
is  fully  considered  by  Congress  and  the  De- 
partment of  State.  This  matter  comes  with- 
in the  province  of  the  Committee  on  Inter- 
national Relations  rather  than  in  that  of  the 
Committee  reporting. 

The  Sub-Committee  proposes  further  that 
it  should  be  authorized  and  directed  to  make 
a  list  of  students  from  the  Orient  who  have 
attended  library  schools  or  other  training 
agencies  in  the  United  States  with  the  idea 
of  keeping  in  touch  with  their  work  upon 
their  return,  to  the  possible  mutual  advantage 
of  libraries  in  both  countries. 

The  Committee  calls  to  the  attention  of 
the  Association  a  recently  published  work 
entitled  The  Christian  occupation  of  China; 
a  report  of  the  general  missionary  survey 
1919-21,  published  in  Shanghai  in  the  spring 
of  this  year.  Portions  of  this  report  are  de- 
voted to  the  education  including  libraries,  and 
should  be  of  extreme  interest  to  American 
librarians  in  the  way  of  information  as  to 
what  has  been  done  by  missionary  effort  in 
China. 

The  Committee  has  received  appeals  for 
help  from  Shanghai  from  the  American 
School  and  from  the  American  Women's 
Club,  and  has  endeavored  to  meet  these  ap- 
peals to  the  best  of  its  ability. 

A  contribution  to  the  discussion  of  the 
Asiatic  collections  in  American  libraries  was 
an  article  by  John  L.  Bramhall,  East  Asiatic 
works  in  the  Newberry  Library,  which  ap- 
peared in  the  Open  Court  for  December,  1921. 

The  Committee  feels  that  a  more  complete 
report  than  the  exceedingly  fragmentary  one 
published  as  an  appendix  to  its  report  of 
last  year  should  be  made  either  by  this  Sub- 
Committee  or  by  a  special  committee  of  the 
American  Library  Association.  It  recom- 
mends that  the  Council  take  the  matter  under 
consideration,  and  requests  that  if  favorable 
action  is  taken  on  the  suggestion  a  small  ap- 
propriation be  made  from  the  treasury  of  the 


LIBRARY    CO-OPERATION    WITH    OTHER    COUNTRIES 


43 


Association  to  cover  clerical  expenses  in- 
volved in  the  preparation  of  copy  to  be  sub- 
mitted to  the  Editorial  Committee  of  the  As- 
sociation. Such  a  survey  as  the  Committee 
has  in  mind  should  prove  useful  to  reference 
librarians  the  country  over  and  to  certain 
students  of  Oriental  languages  scattered 
throughout  the  United  States  and  Canada. 
It  should  facilitate  interlibrary  loan  and  the 
use  of  the  photostat  in  copying  important 
articles  in  a  field  which  necessarily  appeals 
to  a  very  small  number  of  persons.  Such 
a  survey  in  printed  form  cannot  fail  to  be 
of  great  value  and  interest. 

One  of  the  members  of  the  Committee, 
Katharine  H.  Wead,  has  been  spending  a 
year  at  the  University  of  Nanking  and  re- 
ports (Appendix  B)  her  impressions  of 
Chinese  libraries.  The  Committee  hopes  to 
have  her  report  reprinted  in  the  library  press. 
The  Committee  learns  from  Jessie  Douglas, 
librarian  of  the  Canton  Christian  College, 
that  there  is  much  interest  in  Canton  in 
establishing  a  public  library,  and  a  commis- 
sion has  been  appointed  to  study  the  possi- 
bilities of  such  a  library  by  visiting  the  li- 
braries in  the  Philippines  and  elsewhere. 

Very  interesting  reports  have  come  to  the 
Committee  from  Mary  Polk,  librarian  of 
the  Bureau  of  Science  of  the  Philippine 
Islands.  Miss  Polk  has  sent  us  not  only  an 
extremely  interesting  letter  giving  details  of 
the  courses  in  Library  Science  being  offered 
in  the  University  of  the  Philippines,  but  also 
an  important  collection  of  material  on  the 
legal  status  of  libraries  in  the  Philippines.  It 
is  interesting  to  note  that  the  Library  of  the 
Bureau  of  Science  has  already  passed  40,000 
volumes,  is  cataloged  and  classified  in  ac- 
cordance with  our  best  American  standards, 
is  aiding  the  University  of  the  Philippines  to 
give  instruction  in  Library  Science,  and  in 
general  is  serving  as  a  means  of  furthering 
co-operation  in  library  matters  in  Manila  and 
elsewhere.  Attention  should  be  called  to  the 
possibilities  of  exchange  between  American 
and  Philippine  libraries  offered  by  the  or- 
ganization of  the  Library  of  the  Philippine 
Bureau  of  Science.  Librarians  are  urged  to 
communicate  directly  with  Mary  Polk,  li- 


brarian of  the  Bureau  of  Science,  at  Manila. 

This  report  would  be  incomplete  did  it 
fail  to  note  the  large  number  of  Oriental 
students  in  American  colleges  and  univer- 
sities, the  greater  part  of  them  being  Chi- 
nese. It  is  highly  important  that  American 
libraries  should  not  neglect  the  opportunity 
offered  them  by  the  presence  in  all  our  large 
cities  and  in  our  universities  and  colleges  of 
great  numbers  of  highly  intelligent  Oriental 
students.  The  impressions  which  they  take 
back  with  them  will  influence  greatly  the  re- 
lations of  Eastern  Asia  with  America  in  the 
next  thirty  years.  Many  of  them  are  anxious 
to  learn  the  administrative  details  of  our 
libraries,  and  the  Committee  suggests  that 
they  be  offered  every  facility,  whenever  they 
make  inquiries,  by  public  and  university 
libraries. 

In  conclusion,  the   Sub-Committee  begs  to 
report    its    willingness    at    all    times    to    aid 
libraries   in   America   desiring   to   secure   in- 
formation about  Oriental  libraries,  and  libra- 
ries in  Eastern  Asia  wishing  information  con- 
cerning  conditions   in   America.     When    any 
member  of  the  Committee  is  not  possessed  of 
the    information    desired,    inquiries    can    gen- 
erally be  referred  to  a  competent  person. 
Respectfully  submitted, 
CORNELIA  MARVIN,  Chairman, 
Sub-Committee  on  the  Far  East. 

Appendix   B 
Impressions  of  Chinese  Libraries 

On  actually  writing  a  report  on  Chinese 
libraries  I  find  that  I  have  impressions  rather 
than  facts.  For  facts  I  would  refer  you  to 
Mr.  Tai's  excellent  report  in  the  A.  L.  A. 
Annual  Report  1920-1921,  p.  58-63.  But  you 
may  be  interested  in  pen  pictures  of  the  li- 
braries which  I  have  seen  since  they  are  fairly 
representative  of  the  old  and  new  types  in 
northern  China. 

Of  the  strictly  Chinese  libraries  there  are 
two  kinds,  the  provincial  libraries  and  the 
public  libraries.  The  former  are  supported 
by  provincial  funds,  are  primarily  for  the 
use  of  the  officials  of  the  province  and  con- 
tain chiefly  books  relating  to  the  particular 
province.  These  more  nearly  accord  with 


44 


ANNUAL    REPORTS 


the  definition  of  libraries  given  in  the  Chinese 
name — hiding  places  for  books — for  admis- 
sion is  only  to  the  few  privileged  persons  on 
payment  of  a  small  admission  fee.  The  two 
libraries  of  this  type  which  I  have  seen,  at 
Nanking  and  at  Hangchow,  have  many  rare 
books  and  manuscripts,  some  dating  back 
two  thousand  years. 

The  Nanking  library  building  was  formerly 
a  fine  old  residence  and  has  only  within  a 
few  years  been  occupied  by  the  library.  A 
visitor  passes,  in  Chinese  fashion,  through  a 
gateway  in  a  high  wall,  into  a  courtyard  and 
into  a  guest  room  where  a  servant  offers  tea 
while  one  awaits  the  arrival  of  the  librarian. 
He  is  then  conducted  into  a  small  room 
where  the  catalog  is  kept,  then  into  a  room 
where  an  attendant  sits  expectantly  awaiting 
the  request  slips,  across  another  court  into 
the  stack  and  reading  room  and  upstairs 
where  the  more  valuable  books  are  stored. 
The  curved  tiled  roof,  the  carved  eaves,  the 
latticed  windows,  the  high  thresholds,  all  add 
beauty  to  the  building  but  the  thought  of  fire 
and  all  the  destruction  that  would  ensue  is 
ever  in  the  mind  of  the  westerner,  used  to 
fire-proof  buildings.  Even  the  more  modern 
stucco  buildings  are  not  immune  to  fire  and 
I  have  been  in  many  places  where  there  are 
priceless  treasures  insufficiently  protected.  In 
the  Nanking  library  the  books  are  arranged 
in  wooden  cases,  some  of  them  inside  locked 
glass  doors,  each  case  bearing  the  name  of 
the  class.  Each  thin,  paper  bound  book  car- 
ries a  tag  with  its  name  and  the  name  of 
the  class  but  there  are  no  such  minute  subdivi- 
sions .as  book  numbers.  At  Hangchow  inter- 
est is  added  to  the  provincial  library,  now 
housed  in  a  modern  two  story  white  stucco 
building,  by  knowing  that  it  was  once  the 
imperial  library  of  Chien  Lung  who  had  his 
summer  palace  on  the  famously  beautiful 
West  Lake. 

The  public  library,  as  its  name  implies,  5s 
supported  by  the  municipality  and  is  open  to 
all  though  in  some  cases  a  fee  of  a  few  cop- 
pers is  required.  At  Peking  the  fee  varies 
with  the  type  of  reader  and  what  kind  of 
books  are  wanted — newspapers,  modern  books, 
ancient  books.  Books  may  not  be  taken  from 


the  building.  To  the  foreigner,  the  cold,  dark 
whitewashed  reading  rooms  with  the  straight 
hard  chairs  seem  very  unattractive  but  the 
Chinese  ideas  of  comfort  differ  from  ours  and 
the  rooms  are  generally  well  patronized.  Sep- 
arate reading  rooms  are  provided  for  women. 
These  public  libraries  are  often  connected 
with  public  recreation  centers  where  mu- 
seums educational  exhibits,  lecture  halls,  play- 
ground, etc.,  may  be  enjoyed.  Extension  work 
is  becoming  more  and  more  general  and  is 
carried  on  in  the  form  of  traveling  libraries 
which  go  to  educational  centers  in  the  dis- 
trict. The  public  library  does  not  attempt  to 
hoard  old  books  but  provides  the  modern 
popular  books  of  which  there  are  only  too 
few,  and  translations  of  foreign  books.  There 
is  much  interest  in  children's  books  but  the 
supply  of  these  books  is  yet  small  and  they 
are  largely  translations  of  foreign  stories  for 
children. 

In  the  public  libraries  which  I  have  visited 
at  Peking,  Wusih  and  Nanking  I  have  seen 
three  distinct  types  of  catalogs.  The  kind 
generally  found  in  Chinese  libraries  is  in  book 
form.  The  old  system  of  classification  con- 
sists of  four  classes : — classics,  history,  phi- 
losophy and  belles  lettres  to  which  are  some- 
times added  collected  works  and  gazetteers. 
Each  of  these  classes  is  again  sub-divided  un- 
til there  are  some  forty  classes.  In  the  book 
form  catalog  there  is  usually  a  volume  for 
the  four  main  classes  and  the  titles  are  en- 
tered as  received  under  the  proper  sub-class. 
Sometimes  additional  information  such  as  au- 
thor, date,  previous  owner,  or  price  is  also 
given.  Almost  invariably  the  author  is  giv- 
en a  secondary  place.  At  Wusih,  the  li- 
brary has  the  distinction  of  being  the  only 
truly  Chinese  library  using  a  card  catalog. 
It  is  a  subject  catalog  in  two  sections,  one 
contains  the  titles  of  the  old  books  arranged 
according  to  the  method  just  described;  the 
other  contains  new  and  foreign  books  and  is 
divided  into  the  following  four  groups — 
political  science,  social  science,  natural  science 
and  literature.  The  entries  are  first  by  sub- 
ject and  then  by  title  but  there  is  no  accurate 
filing.  The  question  of  a  systematic  and 
accurate  way  of  filing  Chinese  characters  is 


LIBRARY    CO-OPERATION    WITH    OTHER    COUNTRIES 


45 


a  difficult  one  and  is  only  recently  receiving 
the  attention  of  students.  The  third  system, 
seen  in  a  Nanking  library,  is  a  curious  one 
but  has  some  points  to  recommend  it. 
Around  the  walls  of  a  small  room  are  three 
tiers  of  wooden  blocks,  about  4  inches  by 
1  inch  and  very  thin,  inserted  into  a  moulding. 
Each  peg  bears  the  name  of  a  book  and  its 
price — probably  to  frighten  prospective 
thieves — and  at  intervals  there  is  a  red  peg 
indicating  the  class.  A  reader  runs  his  eye 
along  the  rows  until  he  finds  the  title  which 
he  wants,  fills  out  a  request  slip  and  gives  it 
to  an  attendant  who  procures  the  book  and 
turns  the  peg  around  to  show  that  the  book 
is  in  use. 

The  Commercial  Press  has  an  excellent 
library  in  its  offices  at  Shanghai,  containing 
many  rare  old  books  as  well  as  modern  ones. 
Some  volumes  of  the  almost  extinct  15th 
century  encyclopedia,  Yung  Lo  Ta  Tien,  may 
be  found  there.  The  old  Chinese  books  are 
classified  according  to  the  old  four  class 
system.  Modern  ones,  including  foreign 
ones,  are  classified  according  to  a  system 
originated  by  the  firm,  and  comprising  four- 
teen classes  : — philosophy,  education,  litera- 
ture, history  and  geography,  political  science, 
natural  science,  mathematics,  industry,  medi- 
cine, military  affairs,  fine  arts,  domestic  arts, 
reprints  and  collected  works.  The  company 
is  doing  a  great  deal  towards  arousing  an 
interest  in  reading,  by  reprinting  in  an  in- 
expensive form  the  best  of  Chinese  litera- 
ture much  of  which  is  now  out  of  print.  It 
has  also  translated  and  printed  many  of  the 
foreign  books  on  science  since  China  has 
produced  few  of  her  own,  and  the  majority 
of  the  children's  books  which  have  been 
printed  are  from  that  press.  I  quote  from 
a  letter  from  Fong  F.  Sec,  the  head  of  the 
editorial  department : — 

"Generally  speaking,  I  think  that  the  books 
most  read  by  the  Chinese  now  are  along  the 
lines  of  social  science,  such  as  history,  edu- 
cation, philosophy,  ethics,  etc.,  but  not  much 
in  the  way  of  natural  science.  The  new 
thought  movement  is  influencing  the  reading 
of  our  people  during  the  last  two  or  three 
years  and  there  seems  to  be  a  great  deal  of 


interest  in  books  along  the  lines  of  social, 
industrial  and  economic  improvements.  How- 
ever, the  leading  Chinese  educators  are  tak- 
ing to  heart  the  findings  and  recommendations 
of  Prof.  Monroe  regarding  education  in  this 
country  and  are  taking  steps  to  strengthen  the 
science  teachings  in  the  schools  of  China.  .  ." 

In  this  connection  it  is  interesting  to  note 
the  library  of  the  Science  Society  of  China 
which  has  its  headquarters  at  Nanking.  It 
has  two  or  three  thousand  books  chiefly  in 
European  languages,  on  scientific  subjects  and 
a  card  catalog.  This  society  also  publishes 
a  magazine  entitled  Science.  To  quote  Dr. 
Sec  again : — 

"Outside  of  the  college  libraries  there  are 
so  few  libraries  in  China  we  do  not  think 
that  the  libraries  are  meeting  the  demand  for 
books  in  China.  Therefore  persons  who  de- 
sire to  read  are  forced  to  buy  their  own 
books.  We  understand  that  in  Peking  and 
the  provinces  of  Shanci  some  new  libraries 
have  been  opened  but  are  comparatively  few 
and  the  library  movement  is  altogether  new 
in  this  country." 

Enough  for  the  truly  Chinese  library. 
Picturesqueness  is  giving  way  to  up-to-date 
efficiency  with  its  steel  stacks,  foreignized 
catalogs,  American  trained  librarians  and 
the  library  movement  is  developing  fast. 
There  are  now  several  men  who  have  been 
in  American  library  schools  and  others  are 
studying  in  America  or  planning  to  go  in 
the  near  future.  Those  who  can  not  go  to 
America  are  being  trained  well  in  the  Boone 
University  Library  School  under  the  guid- 
ance of  Elizabeth  Wood  and  her  Chinese 
assistants  who  have  been  to  American  li- 
brary schools.  The  Peking  National  Uni- 
versity has  a  large  library  where  they  are 
doing  good  work  in  the  indexing  of  books. 
They  are  the  only  depository  library  in  China 
for  the  Library  of  Congress  cards.  This 
University  inaugurated  the  movement  for 
popularizing  reading  by  issuing  literature  in 
what  is  known  as  "be  hua,"  the  spoken  style 
rather  than  the  complicated  literary  classical 
style.  Southeastern  University  at  Nanking 
has  a  large  library  of  foreign  and  Chinese 
books  under  the  supervision  of  an  Albany 


46 


graduate  and  is  erecting  a  new  building  for 
it.  Probably  the  finest  library  building  in 
China  is  at  Tsing  Hua  College  just  outside 
of  Peking  where  another  Albany  graduate 
administers  a  large  staff  and  an  excellent 
collection  of  books  and  is  also  one  of  the 
prime  movers  in  the  library  movement. 

The  various  mission  colleges  have  libraries 
where  foreign  methods  are  used.  The  Dewey 
classification  is  generally  used  for  the  for- 
eign books  and  in  some  cases  for  the  Chinese 
books  though  the  best  treatment  for  Chinese 
books  is  yet  to  be  decided  upon.  Some 
libraries  put  their  Chinese  classics  in  one 
class,  modern  Chinese  books  in  another  and 
foreign  books  in  another,  which  is  anything 
but  convenient.  The  mission  schools  where 
much  of  the  class  work  is  done  in  English 
have  an  opportunity  to  put  modern  library 
methods  in  practice  in  a  way  that  has  not 
been  done  in  the  older  Chinese  libraries. 
Here  at  the  University  of  Nanking  for  in- 
stance a  guide  to  Chinese  periodical  litera- 
ture is  being  made.  The  title  cards  are  filed 
according  to  the  Chinese  characters  but  the 
subject  cards  give  the  subjects  in  both  Eng- 
lish and  Chinese  and  are  filed  alphabetically 
by  the  English.  A  bi-lingual  index  to  agri- 
cultural literature  is  also  being  made.  As 
far  as  I  know  nothing  of  the  sort  is  being 
done  elsewhere  except  possibly  in  Chinese  at 
Peking  National  University,  although  the 
need  of  making  Chinese  literature  available 
is  very  great.  The  University  of  Nanking  has 
a  branch  library  in  its  Middle  School  where 
there  are  perhaps  a  hundred  books  especially 
for  children,  largely  chosen  from  the  pub- 
lications of  the  Commercial  Press. 

The  Boone  University  Library  is  the  cen- 
ter of  the  library  movement  for  the  upper 
Yangtse  Valley.  It  encourages  the  use  of 
libraries  by  its  library  schools  where  nineteen 
students  have  received  training;  by  travelling 
libraries  to  mission  and  government  schools 
and  other  organizations ;  by  its  branch  li- 
braries in  the  city  of  Wuchang;  by  the  clas- 
sification system  which  it  has  worked  out 
and  lately  published,  based  on  Dewey.  In 
answer  to  the  question — "In  what  way  can 
the  A.  L.  A.  co-operate  with  the  libraries  in 


China?" — Miss  Wood  replied  with  three  def- 
inite answers: — 

"I.  The  A.  L.  A.  can  furnish  literature 
in  the  lines  of  helps  and  aids  of  all  kinds 
that  can  be  translated  into  Chinese.  Gifts 
of  catalogs  of  large  libraries  would  be  most 
acceptable. 

II.  Library   films   and  lantern   slides   that 
would  help  to  popularize  the  library  move- 
ment in  China. 

III.  Scholarships  in  library  schools  in  the 
U.  S.     Scholarships  given  to  the  Boone  Uni- 
versity  Library  Training    School   in    China." 

I  have  written  to  several  libraries  asking 
for  information  and  suggestions  but  I  must 
send  this  much  of  my  report  before  I  can 
hear  from  them.  If  anything  of  interest  is 
reported  I  will  forward  it  as  soon  as  possible.

LIBRARY    CO-OPERATION    WITH 
THE    HISPANIC   PEOPLES 

In  the  first  report  of  the  Committee,  sub- 
mitted to  the  conference  of  the  Association 
held  at  Swampscott  in  1921  (report  of  Sub- 
Committee  on  Latin  America  of  the  Com- 
mittee on  Library  Co-operation  with  other 
Countries),  it  was  proposed  that  the  com- 
mittee serve: 

1.  As  a  medium  for  the  exchange  of  thought 
between  the  libraries  and  library  organizations 
in  the  respective  countries. 

2.  To  inform  librarians  of  the  United  States 
and  of  the  Hispanic  countries  of  the  develop- 
ment of  publications  in  the  other  countries. 

3.  To  communicate  the  names  of  new  pub- 
lishers and  booksellers. 

4.  To  give  advice  to  librarians  of  the  United 
States  and  Canada  regarding  books  and  peri- 
odicals  published  in   the   Hispanic   countries, 
and  to  those  of  the  Hispanic  countries  regard- 
ing   books    or    magazines    published    in    the 
United  States  and  Canada. 

5.  To  assist  libraries  to  acquire  by  subscrip- 
tion reviews  and  magazines  published  in  the 
American  countries. 

6.  As  a  link  between  the  Association  and 
other  organizations  with  which  it  might  co- 
operate in  the  same  field. 

In  furtherance  of  this  purpose,  the  Com- 
mittee has  secured  the  co-operation  of  the 
Inter-American  Division  of  the  American 


LIBRARY    REVENUES 


47 


Association  for  International  Conciliation  and 
its  magazine  Inter-America.  Arrangements 
have  been  made  by  which  Inter-America  may 
become  a  medium  for  disseminating  informa- 
tion among  the  libraries  of  the  United  States, 
Canada  and  the  Hispanic  countries,  and  the 
following  steps  have  already  been  taken : 

1.  Eight  pages  of   the  English  edition    of 
Inter-America  will  be  devoted  to  the  listing 
of  current  magazines,  newspapers  and  books 
(including  the  lowest  rates  and  prices  given 
by  publishers  to  foreign  institutions),  to  the 
analysis  of  magazines  and  to  book  criticism. 

2.  Through    English    Inter- America,   with- 
out any  charge  whatsoever  for  service,  sub- 
scriptions may  be  taken  by  the  libraries  of 
the   United    States   and   Canada   to  Hispanic 
and  Hispanic-American  magazines  and  news- 
papers, and  through  it  current  books  may  be 
bought. 

3.  At   the   same  time   eight   pages   of   the 
Spanish  edition  of  Inter-America  will  be  de- 
voted to  a  similar  announcement  of  current 
publications  of  the  United  States  and  Canada 
for  the   benefit   of   Hispanic  and   Hispanic- 
American   libraries,   to   which   Inter-America 
also  offers  its  services. 

4.  Attention  is  called  to  the  following  de- 
tails of  the  plan  proposed  by  Inter-America, 
which  is  being  communicated  in  a  letter    to 
many  of  the  leading  libraries  and  publishers 
of  the  United  States,  Canada  and  the  Hispanic 
countries  of  America  and  Europe: 

a.  Inter-America   will    give   the   names    of 
current    newspapers,    magazines    and    books, 
frequency  of  issue  and  subscription  rates;  in 
the  case    of  the    first    two;    publishers    and 
prices,  in  the  case  of  the  last;  the  titles  and 
authors  of  leading  magazine  articles,  and  a 
brief  notice  of  books  and  pamphlets. 

b.  It  offers  to  act  as  intermediary  to  se- 
cure   for   libraries    and   individuals,    without 
commission,  any  of  the  publications  listed,  or 
any  other  publications  solicited  of  it,  provided 
such  be  obtainable,  payment  to  be  made  in 
advance  by  individuals  and  libraries,   except 
by  special  agreement,  in  cases  in  which  such 
payment  may  be  impracticable. 

The  Committee  reports  that  the  collection 
of   "material   illustrative  of   Hispanic-Amer- 


ican periodicals,"  which  was  exhibited  at  the 
conference  at  Swampscott,  has  since  been  ex- 
hibited at  the  following  places :  Columbia 
University,  during  the  summer  school  of 
1921 ;  Honolulu,  during  the  meeting  of  the 
World  Press  Congress,  October  4-14,  1921. 

Library  Conditions  in  Spain  and  Portu- 
gal. Conditions  that  were  found  to  exist  in  the 
Hispanic  countries  of  America  and  that  were 
described  in  our  annual  report  of  1921  seem 
to  be  a  prolongation  of  similar  conditions  in 
the  mother  countries,  Spain  and  Portugal.  In 
these  countries  libraries  serve  as  archives  and 
deposits,  rather  than  as  vital,  growing,  re- 
sponsive centers  of  public  interest  and  initia- 
tive. While  there  are  priceless  collections 
of  books  and  manuscripts,  such  as  those  of 
the  Real  Academia  Espanola,  the  Biblioteca 
Nacional  and  similar  institutions  in  Madrid, 
the  Archivo  de  Simancas  and  the  Archivo  de 
Indias  in  Sevilla,  and  the  Universidade  de 
Coimbra  in  Portugal,  libraries,  as  living  en- 
tities that  send  their  arteries  forth  into  their 
surroundings,  that  continue  the  process  of 
disseminating  knowledge,  begun  in  the 
schools ;  libraries,  as  we  understand  them  in 
the  United  States,  do  not  exist.  If  circulat- 
ing libraries  are  to  be  found,  they  are  in- 
significant private  enterprises  of  slight  extent 
and  value. 

The  Committee  will  endeavor,  if  continued 
during  the  coming  year,  to  acquaint  itself  in- 
timately with  the  publishing  houses  and  sup- 
ply conditions  in  the  library  centers  of  the 
Hispanic  countries  of  Europe,  and  it  hopes 
to  bring  them  into  closer  relation  with  the 
Association,  for  the  reciprocal  exchange  of 
information,  for  the  securing  of  books  and 
periodicals  and  for  co-operation  in  the  fu- 
ture.

LIBRARY  REVENUES 

Your  Committee  on  Library  Revenues  sub- 
mitted a  report  with  reference  to  revenues  for 
public  libraries,  in  the  form  of  a  resolution 
which  was  adopted  at  the  meeting  of  the 
Council  in  Chicago  last  December.  At  that 
time  it  was  voted  to  enlarge  the  Committee

ANNUAL    REPORTS 


with  a  view  to  its  continuing  the  study,  and 
reporting  on  revenues  for  college  and  univer- 
sity, normal  school,  high  school,  and  elemen- 
tary school  libraries.  The  Committee  has  had 
considerable  correspondence  on  this  subject, 
and  has  had  the  benefit  of  some  recent  data  on 
certain  phases  of  this  subject  from  the  United 
States  Bureau  of  Education. 

The  investigations  of  the  Committee  thus 
far  have  demonstrated  that  a  great  deal  of 
work  will  be  necessary  to  get  the  information 
to  draft  a  report  that  will  adequately  meet  the 
situation  with  reference  to  all  kinds  of  librar- 
ies. The  Committee  is  planning  to  hold  meet- 
ings at  Detroit  to  get  this  matter  into  shape. 
In  the  meantime  we  can  simply  report  prog- 
ress.

LIBRARY     SERVICE     (COMMITTEE 
OF  FIVE) 

This  Committee  has  been  and  still  is  en- 
deavoring to  do  what  may  prove  to  be  an 
impossibility  under  present  conditions,  namely, 
to  collect  a  voluminous  amount  of  information 
through  voluntary  workers.  Complete  in- 
formation in  detail  on  the  plant,  customs,  and 
methods  of  service  of  American  public  li- 
braries is  much  needed  and  is  still  no  where 
available  in  one  place  and  in  usable  form. 

To  collect,  assemble,  and  discuss  complete 
data  of  this  kind,  two  general  methods  pre- 
sent themselves.  First,  to  employ  a  small 
number  of  experts,  each  of  whom  must 
necessarily  do  a  large  amount  of  work,  and 
secondly,  to  use  a  very  large  number  of  co- 
operators,  not  one  of  whom  will  be  called 
upon  for  more  than  a  small  amount  of  time, 
energy  and  thought. 

The  first  method  evidently  requires  a  sal- 
aried staff,  since  each  one  of  the  workers 
would  have  to  give  to  the  task  his  or  her 
entire  time  for  a  considerable  period.  It  is 


still  not  impossible  that  some  way  may  be 
found  to  finance  the  survey  on  this  basis. 
The  tentative  budget  made  out  by  this  Com- 
mittee when  it  was  first  constituted  called 
for  an  annual  expenditure  of  $23,200  for  two 
years,  and  although  it  is  possible  that  the 
work  might  be  done  for  less  than  this,  it 
would  probably  not  be  safe  to  begin  it  on  a 
paid  basis  without  something  like  this  amount 
in  sight,  but  up  to  this  time  none  of  the 
bodies  that  have  funds  for  financing  scholarly 
enterprises  has  been  able  or  willing  to  give 
us  a  grant  even  while  acknowledging  the 
necessity  and  value  of  the  projected  work. 

As  there  seemed  therefore  to  be  no  imme- 
diate possibility  of  using  the  first  method,  the 
Committee  at  the  outset  proceeded  with  plans 
for  employing  the  second,  namely,  to  secure 
the  consent  of  a  large  number  of  librarians  to 
do  each  a  small  part  of  the  work.  The  field 
cf  inquiry  was  divided  and  distributed  among 
members  of  the  Committee  as  indicated  in 
previous  reports  and  we  have  now  for  three 
years  devoted  what  time  we  could  give  to  the 
work  of  securing  the  consent  of  others  to  co- 
operate, to  securing  results  from  those  who 
have  consented  but  whose  lack  of  available 
time  has  necessitated  delay,  and  to  the  neces- 
sary work  of  adjusting  and  assembling  these 
results.  At  the  present  writing,  May  1,  the 
end  of  this  work  is  in  sight,  although  not  yet 
attained.  Three  years  may  seem  an  uncon- 
scionable time  to  prepare  a  mere  question- 
naire, but  it  must  be  remembered  that  this 
body  of  questions  is  intended  to  cover  in  de- 
tail the  minutiae  of  everything  done  by  libra- 
ries or  connected  in  any  way  with  their  work, 
that  the  questions  on  each  small  division  of 
the  subject  have  been  entrusted  to  some  one 
having  special  knowledge  of  that  division  or 
interested  in  it,  and  that  each  person  who  has 
consented  to  co-operate  is  a  busy  librarian 
with  barely  enough  time  to  give  to  his  own 
duties  for  which  he  is  responsible  to  his  su- 
periors and  to  the  public. 

So  long  as  we  are  making  any  progress  at 
all  and  so  long  as  the  Association  sees  fit  to 
continue  us  in  this  work,  we  shall  believe  that 
the  time  given  to  it  is  not  wasted  and  that 
it  must  ultimately  produce  worthy  results. 


LIBRARY   TRAINING 


49 


Of  course,  in  case  we  should  succeed  in  so 
financing  the  work  as  to  justify  the  appoint- 
ment of  a  paid  director  with  an  office  staff  of 
experts  and  compilers,  the  work  done  volun- 
tarily up  to  the  present  time  will  by  no  means 
be  wasted,  but  would  save  a  definite  propor- 
tion of  the  labor  that  would  otherwise  have 
to  be  paid  for  from  our  funds.

LIBRARY  TRAINING 

The  Committee  on  Library  Training  did 
not  hold  a  meeting  during  the  year.  The 
chairman  was  not  present  at  the  mid-winter 
meeting,  and  the  three  members  who  did  at- 
tend were  not  able  to  arrange  a  conference. 

The  Alumni  Committee  of  the  Drexel  In- 
stitute Library  School  requested  a  statement 
from  this  committee  on  the  question  of  re- 
establishing that  school.  After  correspond- 
ence with  members  of  the  committee,  the 
chairman  formulated  a  statement  and  sub- 
mitted it  to  the  Drexel  Institute  Alumni  Com- 
mittee. 

The  Committee  expected  to  have  ready  a 
thorough  study  of  training  offered  for 
teacher-librarian  work  with  recommendations 
for  the  Association.  The  School  Libraries 
Section  has  been  giving  attention  to  this  sub- 
ject, working  especially  at  the  desirable  con- 
tent of  a  course  preparing  for  school  library 
positions.  The  section  made  a  survey  of 
school  library  courses  offered  by  the  estab- 
lished library  schools  and  to  avoid  duplica- 
tion, turned  over  to  our  Committee  the  in- 
formation thus  gathered  and  the  following 
conclusions  based  on  this  survey: 

1.  School  librarian  should  be 

an  executive, 
an  educator, 
an  inspirer. 

2.  Courses  in  library  schools  preparing  for 
these  functions  may  be  divided  into  sim- 
ilar classes. 

Technical  and  administrative,  pedagog- 


ical (history,  methods,  school  library 
movement),  books  (selection,  refer- 
ence) . 

3.  While  technical-administrative  and  book 
courses  are  adequate,  most  schools  are 
lacking  in  satisfactory  educational  and 
pedagogical  courses. 

With  this  information  at  hand,  the  purpose 
of  our  Committee  is  to  give  particular  study 
to  the  courses  offered  outside  of  the  estab- 
lished library  schools.  It  has  not  been  pos- 
sible to  complete  this  investigation,  however, 
and  it  will  be  carried  over  into  the  work  of 
the  coming  year.  The  Committee  presents 
the  following  preliminary  statement,  and  sub- 
mits a  thesis  on  this  subject,  listing  the 
courses  offered  on  school  library  work,  and 
including  a  bibliography  of  the  teacher-li- 
brarian movement : 

The  rapid  growth  of  school  libraries  in  re- 
cent years,  the  stimulus  given  to  trained  su- 
pervision of  these  libraries  by  N.  E.  A.  offi- 
cial reports  and  by  legislation  in  various 
states,  have  created  a  real  problem — the  sup- 
ply of  persons  adequately  trained  to  take 
charge  of  these  libraries. 

In  the  case  of  the  large  high  schools,  where 
trained  librarians  can  be  employed,  the  diffi- 
culty is  not  so  great  from  the  library  train- 
ing point  of  view,  as  in  the  far  more  nu- 
merous smaller  schools,  where  the  library 
must  be  cared  for  by  a  teacher  or  school  ex- 
ecutive devoting  part  time  to  it  regularly. 
To  meet  the  demand  for  giving  some  library 
training  to  these  "teacher-librarians,"  courses 
on  school  library  work  have  sprung  up  in 
all  parts  of  the  country.  These  courses  range 
from  a  total  of  15  lessons  to  a  full  year's 
work.  Much  of  this  training  must  be  super- 
ficial and  it  is  plain  that  this  Committee 
should  study  carefully  the  character  of  the 
instruction  covered  by  these  courses — should 
examine  the  requirements  of  a  teacher-li- 
brarian's equipment  and  should  formulate 
some  standards  for  such  training  as  a  rec- 
ommendation. To  quote  from  the  prelim- 
inary report  of  the  Sub-Committee.

ican  Library  Schools,  raising  on  this  as  a 
superstructure, 

(1)  The  recognized  training  classes  in  large 
public  libraries. 

(2)  The  summer  sessions  conducted  by  the 
regular  library  schools. 

(3)  Summer    sessions    conducted    by    Com-

on    a    stable    departmental    background, 
and    a   continuity   of    organization    that 
has   extended  over  a  number  of  years. 

(4)  Courses  offered  in  normal  schools  and 
other     institutions    conducting    summer

(5)  The   extra-courses   that  are  offered   in 
colleges,  normal  schools,  and  many  other

library    work    on    part    time — such    as 
teacher-librarians. 

Just  now  this  is  the  apex  of  the  pyramid,  and 
very  attenuated  in  many  instances.  As  it  has 
had  less  attention  than  the  others,  it  seems 
the  place  where  a  special  study  should  be 
made  and  recommendations  offered  to  the 
Association." 

The  Committee  wishes  to  emphasize,  for 
the  purpose  of  securing  further  consideration 
or  discussion,  some  points  brought  out  in  the 
report  of  last  year. 

We  included  several  recommendations,  re- 
peated below,  looking  forward  to  the  develop- 
ment of  a  more  uniform  system  of  library 
training  by  bringing  the  various  agencies 
into  a  closer  co-operation  and  correlation  of 
work. 

1.  That    the    regular    library    schools    offer 
summer  school  courses  in  special  subjects 
for  which  the  same  credit  be  given  as  for 
equivalent  courses  in  the  regular  school. 

2.  That  there  is  a  place  in  our  system  of 
library   training    for   thorough,    carefully 
prepared  and  properly  supervised    corre- 
spondence courses  in  certain  branches  of 
library  work,   especially  if   sponsored   by 
our  library  schools  and  if  regular  school 
credit   could   be  granted   for   such  work. 
It  would  not  be  practicable  for  all  schools 
to  offer  correspondence  work,  but  certain 
schools  could  give  such  extension  courses 
in    subjects     in     which    they    are    fitted 
through  specialization  or  through  skilled 
instructors  to  do  successful  work.    These 
courses  should  be  developed  on  the  best 
methods  of  instruction — with  careful  fol- 
low-up work  and  with  practice. 


3.  That  the  various  library  schools  adopt  a 
uniform   system   of  evaluating  the   credit 
for  courses.     A  unit  of  credit  similar  to 
the  "semester  hour"  of  the  standard  col- 
leges and  universities,  would  allow  a  more 
accurate  comparison  of  courses  in  the  dif- 
ferent schools,  and  also  provide  a  definite 
basis  for  granting  credit  by  colleges  and 
for  interchange  of  credit  between  library 
schools. 

4.  A  comparison  of  instructional  courses  in 
library  science  given  by   training  classes 
and  by  summer  schools,  with  data  to  as- 
sist  in   evaluating   and   correlating   these 
courses  so  that  there  may  be  a  uniformity 
in   standards  to  be  used   as  a  basis   for 
learning  the  relative  value  of  these  agen- 
cies in  library  instruction. 

If  these  recommendations  could  be  carried 
out  the  opportunity  for  securing  library  train- 
ing would  be  broadened.  Students,  who  are 
unable  to  take  an  entire  year  off  for  a  library 
school  course,  could  take  extension  work  by 
correspondence,  standard  courses  in  sum- 
mer schools — possibly  registering  at  two  or 
more  summer  schools,  and  all  of  this  work 
would  be  progressing  regularly  towards  a 
library  school  degree.  Of  course  a  fixed 
amount  of  residence  work  and  the  regular 
personality  requirements  should  still  be  en- 
forced. 

The  need  of  more  properly  qualified  libra- 
rians is  unquestionable.  Practically  no 
library  school  has  a  capacity  number  of  stu- 
dents. The  A.  L.  A.  recruiting  campaign 
should  have  a  beneficial  effect.  At  the  same 
time  it  must  not  be  forgotten  that  librarian- 
ship,  like  other  professions,  needs  more  real 
leaders.  The  need  is  not  so  much  more 
library  workers  as  more  good  ones.  Dis- 
couraging the  unsuitable  candidate  is  as  much 
service  to  the  library  as  encouraging  those 
who  are  fitted  for  it  to  engage  in  library 
work.  Minimizing  the  demands  which  the 
library  makes  upon  its  staff  will  tend  to  lower 
ideals  of  library  service  and  to  encourage 
unduly  the  unfit. 

The  recommendations  made  last  year  by  the 
Sub-Committee  on  cataloging  created  some 
discussion  but  no  action.  • 


51 


The  Catalog  Section  has  been  working  along 
the  same  lines  and  it  is  understood  will  con- 
tinue the  discussion  at  the  Detroit  conference. 
This  Committee  believes  that  cataloging  is 
one  of  the  subjects  which  could  be  satisfac- 
torily taught  by  correspondence.  By  the  use 
of  photo-prints  and  a  traveling  library  of 
books  the  proper  equipment  could  be  easily 
accumulated. 

The  situation  as  to  the  dearth  of  catalogers 
remains  about  the  same  and  the  Committee 
urges  most  earnestly  that  the  proper  emphasis 
be  given  to  the  importance  of  this  subject  in 
the  hope  of  remedying  this  condition. 

The  Association  probably  does  not  realize 
the  amount  of  work  embodied  in  many  of  the 
special  sub-committee  investigations  submitted 
in  the  reports  of  this  Committee  during  the 
past  few  years.  Definite  and  specific  recom- 
mendations based  on  the  highest  professional 
experience  and  thorough  study  are  made  to 
the  Association  to  no  apparent  purpose.  Un- 
der these  conditions  the  chairman  is  loath 
to  request  members  of  the  Committee  to  un- 
dertake work  which  will  require  a  great  deal 
of  time.  Careful  and  intelligent  considera- 
tion should  be  given  to  committee  reports  so 
that  recommendations  made  would  be  either 
rejected  or  acknowledged  through  some  fa- 
vorable action.

MEMBERSHIP   COMMITTEE 

The  present  Committee  was  appointed  Sep- 
tember 23,  1921,  and  the  first  letter  of  the 
Chairman  to  the  members,  a  charge  of  spe- 
cial responsibility  for  membership  campaigns 
in  states  represented  by  Committeemen,  was 


sent  out  October  6.  The  Committee  has 
had  but  one  change  in  membership,  Alice  L. 
Rose  of  New  York  City  being  unable  to 
serve  because  of  ill  health.  Donald  K.  Camp- 
bell of  Haverhill  was  appointed  in  her  place 

A  special  effort  has  been  made  to  have  the 
matter  of.  membership  in  our  international 
organization  taken  up  in  every  state  and 
province  of  the  United  States  and  Canada. 
Where  possible  state  association  meetings 
were  addressed,  district  meetings  and  insti- 
tutes also,  and  the  state  and  provincial  li- 
brary organizations  were  used  where  avail- 
able, as  well  as  the  special  or  local  library 
club.  The  library  schools  were  reached, 
groups  of  library  workers  in  a  specific  field 
as  children's  workers,  high  school  librarians, 
medical  librarians,  etc.,  the  Public  Library 
Commission  and  state  library  bulletins  were 
used,  and  finally  personal  letters  were  sent 
to  librarians  already  members  asking  help 
and  to  librarians  not  yet  members  urging 
consideration. 

Each  of  these  methods  has  had  results, 
and  each  member  of  the  Committee  has  cov- 
ered his  own  community  in  the  way  which 
seemed  wisest  with  varying  results.  In  pre- 
vious campaigns  the  large  libraries  of  the 
United  States  and  Canada  had  been  pretty 
well  reached  by  membership  appeals,  so  this 
year  the  Committee  made  a  special  effort  to 
reach  the  smaller  libraries  and  communities. 
The  total  results  show  494  new  members  up 
to  May  20. 

To  the  Association  Headquarters  the  Com- 
mittee must  give  a  large  share  of  the  credit 
for  the  successful  year.  They  have  sent  out 
most  of  the  form  letter  material,  as  well  as 
circulars  and  bulletin  material,  and  have  been 
fertile  with  suggestions  of  value.  On  the 
recommendation  of  the  Membership  Com- 
mittee, Headquarters  has  installed  an  ad- 
ditional office  list  of  members  arranged  by 
geographical  location.  This  will  be  of  great 
assistance  to  future  committees,  as  the  names 
of  members  in  each  state  will  be  available, 
preventing  either  vexatious  double-canvassing, 
or  missing  some  one. 

Special  mention  must  be  made  also  of 
Miss  Hunt's  contribution  of  550  letters 


52 


ANNUAL   REPORTS 


to  the  children's  librarians  of  the  coun- 
try; the  volunteer  aid  of  Czarina  Hall 
of  Omaha,  in  writing  to  all  Nebraska  li- 
brarians, and  of  Mr.  Kerr  in  Kansas;  as 
well  as  a  similar  letter  to  all  Alabama  li- 
brarians sent  by  Miss  Chapman.  A  double 
effort  to  reach  a  large  number  of  Ontario 
and  Middle  West  librarians  was  made  be- 
cause of  the  interest  which  the  Detroit  con- 
ference might  be  expected  to  stimulate.  In 
covering  this  field  special  material  was  pre- 
pared for  state  bulletins  and  the  membership 
lists  of  state  and  provincial  library  associa- 
tions were  checked  for  individual  letters. 

In  the  course  of  the  year's  work  various 
queries  have  arisen. 

From  the  Atlantic  coast,  from  the  south- 
ern States  and  from  the  Pacific  Northwest 
has  come  the  common  plaint  that  the  A.  L. 
A.  "lives  and  moves  and  has  its  'being  for 
other  parts  of  the  country  but  neglects  mine. 
Sometimes  we  feel  that  all  you  care  about  us 
is  our  membership  fee." 

Suggestion  1.  It  is  not  possible  to  plan 
for  sectional  meetings  which  will  tie  all  dis- 
tricts together  rather  than  cut  them  apart. 
The  district  meetings  of  state  associations 
strengthen  rather  than  disrupt  the  main  or- 
ganization. Cannot  a  southeastern  meeting, 
a  southwestern,  a  central  Atlantic  and  a 
north  Pacific  be  so  engineered,  attended  and 
managed  by  Association  officers  biennially 
that  a  loyalty  to  the  general  Association  may 
be  strengthened,  instead  of  strengthening  the 
separatist  spirit  towards  which  the  present 
independent  sectional  movement  tends?  The 
membership  committee  feels  that  this  can 
and  should  be  done.  Against  the  increased 
expense  of  such  a  proposal  must  be  consid- 
ered the  loss  in  dues  which  follows  the  de- 
velopment of  local  dissatisfaction. 

Our  second  problem  is  that  connected  with 
the  payment  of  membership  dues.  The  chair- 
man of  the  Committee  admits  having  strong- 
ly favored  the  present  plan  of  a  $2.00  fee  for 
those  dispensing  with  the  Proceedings  and 
Handbook,  and  $4.00  for  those  desiring  them. 
More  than  one-half  of  old  and  new  mem- 
bers are  paying  dues  on  the  $2.00  plan.  This 
plan  (which,  we  believe,  was  first  broached  by 


a  Pacific  Coast  librarian)  would,  it  was 
thought,  result  in  a  larger  membership  from 
assistants  than  a  higher  uniform  fee.  Most 
assistants  it  was  stated  have  access  to  the 
library  copy  of  the  Handbook  and  Proceed- 
ings when  they  were  needed.  However,  the 
plan  has  not  given  the  general  satisfaction 
that  was  anticipated.  The  bitterest  criticism 
has  come  from  the  $4.00  members  who  say 
that  their  junior  assistants  and  the  librarians 
of  tiny  libraries,  to  whom  the  $2.00  fee  might 
be  expected  to  appeal,  do  not  join  now  be- 
cause "they  get  nothing  at  all  in  return  for 
their  fee  beyond  having  their  names  printed 
in  a  handbook  which  they  do  not  see."  Even 
the  institutional  membership  no  longer  brings 
to  the  small  library  the  Booklist  which  for- 
merly made  such  membership  appeal. 

Suggestion  2.  The  Committee  therefore 
recommends  A.  that  the  Executive  Board 
obtain  a  general  expression  of  opinion  from 
all  members  as  to  whether  the  present  plan 
should  continue  or  whether  the  rates  should 
be  raised  to  permit  every  member  receiving 
the  Handbook  and  the  Proceedings.  The 
Committee  feels  that  the  Handbook  should  go 
to  all  members,  regardless  of  rate.  B.  that 
a  special  rate  on  the  Booklist  be  made  to 
libraries  which  are  institutional  members  of 
the  Association.  One  committeeman  suggests 
that  this  class  of  members  be  allowed  to 
choose  between  receiving  the  Proceedings  or 
the  Booklist. 

The  membership  lists  of  a  number  of  State 
Library  Associations  were  this  year  checked 
for  circularization  in  the  interests  of  A.  L. 
A.  membership.  It  will  be  interesting  to 
learn  the  proportion  of  A.  L.  A.  members 
already  on  the  state  lists. 

Suggestion  3.  Cannot  such  checking  be 
done  for  all  state  library  organizations  which 
are  chapters  of  the  A.  L.  A.?  The  Commit- 
tee here  raises  the  question  for  discussion  : 
"Would  a  joint  fee  for  chapter  and  national 
membership  be  desirable?" 

Suggestion  4.  It  is  recommended  that 
the  incoming  Membership  Committee  be  ap- 
pointed early  enough  in  the  summer  so  that 
they  can  get  in  touch  with  earlier  state  meet- 
ings which  the  present  Committee  was  un-

New  York,  Pennsylvania,  South  Dakota, 
Utah  and  Wisconsin.  There  are  a  large  num- 
ber of  such  meetings  in  September  and  early 
October.  Especial  attention  is  also  called  to 
the  larger  southeastern  conference  which  will 
be  held  in  Chattanooga  about  the  middle  of 
October,  and  to  the  projected  south  central 
Conference  at  Austin  in  October.  A  Canadi- 
an member  should  also  be  added  to  the  Com- 
mittee. Respectfully  submitted,

NOMINATING  COMMITTEE 

The  report  of  this  committee  has  been  pre- 
sented in  the  Bulletin  and  on  the  official 
ballot. 

PREPARATION    OF    A    BIBLIOGRA- 
PHY    OF     HUMANISTIC 
LITERATURE 

The  Committee  is  unable  to  report  any 
progress  during  the  year  on  the  project  for 
the  publication  of  an  international  biblio- 
graphy of  humanistic  studies.  The  Commit- 
tee of  the  American  Association  of  Univer- 
sity Professors  appears  to  have  made  no 
progress  either  in  the  plans  for  the  project 


or  in  finding  the  means   for  carrying  it  into 
effect. 

The  Committee,  therefore,  recommends 
that  it  be  discharged. 

The  Committee  begs  to  place  on  record  its 
deep  conviction  of  the  usefulness  and  im- 
portance of  such  a  bibliography  as  that  pro- 
posed by  Professor  Teggart,  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  California,  in  his  address  before 
the  Association  at  the  Asbury  Park  confer- 
ence. The  present  chaotic  state  of  numerous 
bibliographic  enterprises  seems  to  point  to  a 
need  for  some  unifying  and  directing  body. 
The  Committee  does  not  feel  that  the  Amer- 
ican Library  Association  should  necessarily 
be  the  agency  for  such  direction  and  unifica- 
tion, but  it  does  feel  that  the  Association 
necessarily  has  a  profound  interest  in  any 
plans  leading  to  the  production  of  co-op- 
erative bibliographical  work  on  a  large  scale. 
Further,  it  is  the  conviction  of  all  the  mem- 
bers of  the  Committee  that  the  experience 
of  librarians  extending  over  a  period  of  many 
years  has  prepared  the  Association  to  render 
effective  aid  in  devising  and  carrying  on  any 
bibliographic  scheme  of  wide  extent  and 
range.  The  Association  should,  therefore, 
stand  ready  to  proffer  its  aid  when  it  is  re- 
quested, either  through  the  Council  or 
through  a  special  committee  appointed  for 
that  purpose.

PUBLIC  DOCUMENTS 

It  was  hoped  that  this  session  of  Congress 
would  see  enacted  the  Printing  Bill  which 
would  embody  as  far  as  possible  provisions 
desired  by  librarians  concerning  their  distribu- 
tion, format,  etc.,  but  the  very  important 
measures  which  have  been  under  considera- 
tion in  this  Congress  have  crowded  the 
Printing  Bill  to  one  side  and  it  is  not  likely 
that  it  will  be  reported  from  the  Committee. 

On  the  other  hand,  Public  Law  No.  171, 
67th  Congress,  approved  March  20,  1922,  car- 
ries a  provision  on  page  17  of  the  greatest  in- 


54 


ANNUAL    REPORTS 


terest  to  depository  libraries.  This  provision 
reads : 

"for  supplying  books  to  depository  libra- 
ries, $75,000;  equipment,  material,  and  sup- 
plies for  distribution  of  public  documents, 
$35,000;  .  .  .  Provided,  That  no  part  of 
this  sum  shall  be  used  to  supply  to  deposi- 
tory libraries  any  documents,  books,  or 
other  printed  matter  not  requested  by  such 
libraries." 

and  really  enacts  the  principle  of  selection. 
In  plain  English  it  prohibits  sending  any 
documents  that  have  not  been  requested. 

The  Superintendent  of  Documents  will 
send  to  the  librarians  of  depository  libraries 
very  shortly  a  circular  bringing  this  mat- 
ter to  their  attention  with  lists  from  which 
selections  are  to  be  made.  Probably  these 
will  be  in  the  hands  of  depository  librarians 
by  the  time  this  report  is  read. 

At  the  last  meeting  of  the  Documents 
Round  Table  at  Swampscott  a  number  of 
librarians  who  desired  immediate  delivery  of 
documents  gave  their  names  to  Miss  Hart- 
well,  one  of  the  staff  of  the  Superintendent 
of  Documents.  The  Superintendent  at  once 
tried  the  experiment  of  making  immediate 
shipments  of  documents  to  these  libraries  and 
after  an  interval  directed  a  letter  to  them 
asking  for  an  expression  of  opinion  on  im- 
mediate shipments.  Every  response  received 
was  favorable  to  its  continuation,  and  the 
Superintendent  of  Documents  then  prepared 
to  circularize  all  libraries  concerning  imme- 
diate deliveries.  This  plan  however  was 
interrupted  by  the  hearings  on,  and  the  pass- 
age of  the  law  mentioned  above.  Under  this 
law  immediate  deliveries  will  be  made,  but  li- 
brarians should  note  especially  that  selection 
is  now  mandatory,  and  no  documents  will 
be  sent  to  any  library  unless  they  have  been 
requested,  and  once  requested,  if  publication 
is  continuous,  they  will  continue  to  be  sent, 
until  the  law  is  changed,  or  the  librarian  re- 
quests their  discontinuance.  It  was  the  ex- 
press wish  of  Congress,  through  its  Com- 
mittee, that  watseful  distribution  be  absolutely 
discontinued.  Libraries  failing  to  make  a 
selection  after  due  notice  will  not  receive 
any  documents.  Those  that  make  a  blanket 
request  for  all  will  have  to  satisfy  the  Su- 
perintendent of  Documents  that  they  can 


take  care  of  them  properly,  so  far  as  shelving, 
cataloging,   and   circulation  are  concerned. 

At  present  we  can  only  report  progress  on 
the  pamphlet  which  we  hope  to  prepare  on 
the  handling  and  circulation  of  documents  in 
public  libraries.  It  is  hoped  that  something 
more  definite  can  be  said  at  the  Detroit  con- 
ference. 

H.  H.  B.  MEYER,  Chairman. 

PUBLICITY 

The  Publicity  Committee  reports  progress 
as  follows : 

1.  An  effort  was  made  to  obtain  material 
for  a  new  handbook,   for  general  use  in  li- 
brary campaigns,  on  Why  we  need  a  public 
library.    It  is  recommended  that  the  A.  L.  A. 
headquarters  office  prepare  and  publish  this 
handbook. 

2.  A  conference  of  state  library  commis- 
sion and  state  library  association  officers  was 
held  at  Chicago  during  the  mid-winter  meet- 
ings, to  consider  methods  of  obtaining  library 
publicity   in   the   newspapers   of   the   various 
states.    The  Chicago  office  of  the  Associated 
Press  co-operated  in  this  conference  and  sent 
to  its  state  correspondents  a  circular  urging 
co-operation   with   state   library  officials. 

3.  The  idea  of  a  daily  publicity  breakfast 
at  the  Detroit   Conference  grew  out  of  the 
discussion  at  the  meeting  mentioned  above. 

4.  A  comprehensive  outline  with  series  of 
recommendations  regarding  A.  L.  A.  confer- 
ence  publicity   was    submitted   to   the   head- 
quarters office  and  the  president. 

5.  The  Committee  held  a  special  meeting 
at  Chicago  for  the  consideration  of  National 
Library  Week,   suggested  by  the  success  of 
Children's  Book  Week,  National  Thrift  Week, 
and  by  the  preparations  made   for  the  Mis- 
souri  Book  Week  and  the   Indiana   Library 
Week.    The  Committee  recommends  that  Na- 
tional   Library    Week   be    celebrated    in    the 
spring  of  1923;  and  the  Committee  will  co- 
operate heartily  with  the  Association  and  the 
headquarters  office  in  preparing  and  execut- 
ing the  plans. 

Respectfully  submitted  on  behalf  of  the 
committee,

RECIPROCAL    RELATIONS

RECIPROCAL  RELATIONS  WITH 
OTHER    NATIONAL    OR- 
GANIZATIONS 

The  work  of  this  committee  has  been  car- 
ried out  as  far  as  possible  bearing  in  mind 
the  point  of  view  of  the  Committee  on 
Committees.  The  larger  part  of  the  work  of 
the  committee  such  as  appointing  A.  L.  A. 
representatives  for  various  national  meetings 
and  arranging  exhibits,  etc.,  has  therefore 
been  handled  through  the  Secretary's  office. 

Among  other  meetings  at  which  the  A.  L. 
A.  has  been  represented  are  the  following: 
Emily  Van  Dorn  Miller  represented  the 
A.  L.  A.  at  the  meeting  of  the  Country  Life 
Association  at  New  Orleans ;  Edna  I. 
Allyn,  of  Honolulu  (appointed  by  the  Execu- 
tive Board  of  the  A.  L.  A.)  represented  the 
A.  L.  A.  at  the  Educational  Conference  held 
in  Hawaii ;  Margaret  Dunlap  represented 
the  A.  L.  A.  at  the  Southern  Co-operative 
League  meeting;  Mr.  Marron,  the  American 
Prison  Association  meeting;  Claribel  R.  Bar- 
nett  of  Washington  represented  the  A.  L. 
A.  at  the  conference  in  Washington  for  the 
discussion  of  the  Towner-Sterling  Education- 
al Bill ;  the  A.  L.  A.  co-operated  with  the  N. 
E.  A.  on  American  Education  Week,  De- 
cember 4-10;  with  the  Booksellers,  Publish- 
ers and  Boy  Scouts  of  America  on  Children's 
Book  Week;  with  the  President's  Unemploy- 
ment Conference  Committees  by  obtaining  in- 
formation about  library  buildings  in  course 
of  construction ;  with  National  Thrift  Week 
organization;  Dr.  Putnam,  Mr.  Wyer  and 
others  represented  the  A.  L.  A.  at  the  burial 
of  the  unknown  soldier  at  Washington  on 
November  llth. 

Your  committee  recommends  to  the  Coun- 
cil: 

(1)  That  the  A.  L.   A.  co-operate  to  the 
fullest    possible    extent    with    the    American 
Press  Association,  made  up  of  representatives 
of  weekly  newspapers  in  the  United  States  in 
order  to  further  the  county  library  move- 
ment. 

(2)  That  the  A.  L.  A.  seek  reciprocal  rela- 
tions with  the  American  Farm  Bureau  Federa- 
tion and  secure  the  active  aid  and  support  of 
this  strong  organization  in  the  interest  of  fur- 
thering the  movement  of  the  county  library. 

(3)  That  the  A.  L.  A.  establish  close  alli- 


ance with  the  Booksellers'  Association  and 
the  National  Association  of  Book  Publishers 
and  provide  A.  L.  A.  speakers  for  their  pro- 
grams from  time  to  time. 

(4)  Believing  that  the  importance  of  a 
public  library  as  a  function  of  municipal  gov- 
ernment still  needs  to  be  impressed  on  mu- 
nicipal executives  your  committee  suggests 
that  a  showing  at  conferences  of  mayors 
would  be  valuable.

RECRUITING 

Your  Committee  on  Recruiting  for  Li- 
brarianship,  consisting  of  the  twelve  members 
whose  names  are  given  at  the  end  of  this 
report,  was  appointed  in  November  1920  by 
the  Executive  Board  of  the  A.  L.  A.  Our 
first  report,  submitted  at  the  Swampscott 
meeting,  may  be  found  on  pp.  92-96  of  the 
American  Library  Association  Annual  Re- 
ports, 1920-21. 

The  work  of  the  committee  this  second 
year  has  been  conducted  on  much  the  same 
lines  as  the  work  during  the  first  year.  Let- 
ters* have  been  sent  to  the  librarians  in  604 
colleges  and  universities  asking  their  help 
again  this  year  in  persuading  college  men  and 
women  of  suitable  personality  to  consider 
librarianship  as  a  desirable  profession  and 
suggesting  that  this  help  can  be  given : 

1.  By   attractively   written   articles    in   their 
student  publications. 

2.  Through  talks  by  competent  speakers  at 
student  assemblies. 

The  speaker  might  well  be  the  librarian 
of  the  college  or  an  alumnus  who  is  a 
librarian. 

3.  By    personal    interviews    with    individual 
students. 

4.  By    the    distribution    of    printed    matter 
about  library  work. 

Write  to  A.  L.  A.  Headquarters  for 
samples  of  such  printed  matter. 

5.  By   sending   personal    letters    to    selected 
students,  as  was  done  last  year  by  Wil- 


•Copies  of  the  circular  letters,  pamphlets, 
placards  and  other  recruiting  material  men- 
tioned in  this  report  are  available  at  A.  L..  A. 
Headquarters.

6.  By  securing  the  co-operation  of  your 
college  vocational  adviser,  who  should  be 
supplied  with  printed  matter  concerning 
librarianship. 

Sample  letters  have  also  been  supplied  to 
these  same  librarians,  to  be  sent  by  them  to 
individual  students,  in  which  it  is  stated  that 
the  supply  of  trained  librarians  is  limited 
and  the  demand  for  them  is  increasing  and 
that  library  work  offers : 

1.  The  chance  for  individual  development. 

2.  Congenial  surroundings  and  social  contact. 

3.  A  choice  of  work  not  limited  geograph- 
ically. ..  . 

4.  Opportunity  for  advancement  for  proved 
ability. 

5.  A   range  of  subject  interest   as  wide  as 
human  knowledge. 

Posters  printed  by  the  A.  L.  A.  have  been 
supplied  to  college  librarians  and  others  to 
be  used  as  an  aid  in  recruiting;  letters  were 
sent  to  supervisors,  or  leaders  of  high  school 
library  work  in  25  different  states,  requesting 
them  to  bring  before  the  high  school  librari- 
ans of  the  state  the  desirability  of  encour- 
aging "a  selected  few  among  their  students 
who  seem  especially  adapted  to  library  work 
to  shape  their  course  in  high  school  and 
college  so  that  they  will  be  well  prepared  to 
undertake  it." 

Circular  letters  have  been  sent  to  the  di- 
rectors of  approximately  100  private  schools 
for  girls,  enclosing  copies  of  "Books  and  a 
vocation"  and  stating  briefly  the  requirements 
and  attractions  of  the  profession.  From 
A.  L.  A.  Headquarters  suggested  articles  for 
use  in  college  magazines  were  sent  to  a  se- 
lected list  of  21  women's  colleges  and  to 
164  co-educational  colleges.  A  considerable 
correspondence  on  recruiting  has  been  con- 
ducted by  the  Committee  and  by  A.  L.  A. 
Headquarters. 

Recruiting  material  printed  by  the  A.  L.  A., 
or  supplied  in  the  form  of  reprints  from 
articles  printed  elsewhere,  has  been  accumu- 
lated at  A.  L.  A.  Headquarters  in  consider- 
able quantities.  This  is  being  distributed  to 


advantage,  is  bringing  results  and  will  con- 
tinue  to  bring   results.     Some  of   the   more 
important  of  these  articles  are  the  following:

Library  Commission  bulletin,  April  1922. 

Article   in    Minnesota   Library   Notes   and 

News,  April  1922. 

The  committee  feels  that  a  larger  fund 
should  be  provided  for  the  publication  and 
distribution  of  recruiting  material.  Our  most 
effective  work  is  done  through  publicity,  and 
appropriate  printed  matter  in  large  quantities 
will  be  needed.  In  this  connection  the  chair- 
man feels  that  a  recruiting  manual  should 
be  prepared  and  published  for  distribution  to 
A.  L.  A.  members,  to  members  of  all  re- 
cruiting committees,  to  college  librarians, 
high  school  librarians,  and  vocational  ad- 
visers. Such  a  manual  would  give  definite 
suggestions  as  to  how  to  proceed  in  the 
actual  work  of  recruiting  and  would  list 
available  material  with  its  price  and  where 
it  could  be  obtained. 

At  the  urgent  request  of  the  A.  L.  A.  Re- 
cruiting Committee,  local  recruiting  commit- 
tees have  been  appointed  by  various  organi- 
zations. Twelve  library  schools  have  ap- 
pointed such  committees  from  among  their 
alumni.  Ten  state  library  associations  have 
appointed  recruiting  committees  and  several 
more  state  associations  have  indicated  that 
the  appointment  of  such  a  committee  will  be 
considered. 

Members   of   these   state  committees   have

addressed  college  and  high  school  students  in 
Wisconsin,  Michigan,  Alabama,  North  Caro- 
lina and  at  Wellesley  college.  Similar  work 
has  doubtless  been  done  in  other  states  and 
in  other  colleges. 

Letters  were  sent  to  25  supervisors  of 
high  school  libraries  requesting  that  they 
bring  the  subject  of  recruiting  for  librarian- 
ship  to  the  attention  of  the  high  school  li- 
brarians in  their  states.  Replies  from  Cali- 
fornia, Kentucky,  Indiana,  Rhode  Island,  Con- 
necticut, New  Jersey,  Texas,  New  York,  Illi- 
nois, Iowa  and  Oregon,  indicate  that  such 
work  has  either  been  done  or  will  be  done. 

Your  committee  has  promoted  the  idea 
that  the  subject  of  recruiting  be  included  in 
programs  for  library  meetings.  This  sug- 
gestion has  been  acted  upon  in  many  cases 
that  have  come  to  the  attention  of  the  Com- 
mittee. 

The  Committee  heartily  appreciates  the 
splendid  help  and  support  given  it  by  the 
A.  L.  A.  Headquarters.  Miss  Bogle  and  Mr. 
Milam  have  made  many  valuable  suggestions 
and  have  taken  care  of  the  bulk  of  the  work 
and  correspondence. 

The  committee  would  make  four  recom- 
mendations for  the  coming  year: 

1.  Provide   and    distribute    printed   material 
and  posters  in  larger  quantities. 

2.  Prepare,  publish  and  distribute  a  recruit- 
ing manual. 

3.  Work  out  a  plan  for  presenting  the  sub- 
ject  to   students   in   colleges,   universities 
and  high  schools,  with  a  selected  list  of 
speakers  having  definite  assignments,  for 
the  more  important  institutions. 

4.  Endeavor  to  interest  college  presidents  in 
adding  a  course  in  library  science  to  the 
college     curriculum     in     sections     where 
schools  seem  to  be  needed.

RESOURCES      OF     AMERICAN     LI- 
BRARIES 

I  beg  to  submit  the  following  preliminary 
report  of  the  Committee  on  Resources  of 
American  Libraries : 

The  initial  work  of  the  Committee  was  in- 
augurated in  consequence  of  a  resolution 
passed  at  a  meeting  of  the  Conference  of 
Eastern  College  Librarians  in  November,  1920. 
At  that  meeting  a  committee,  consisting  of 
the  librarians  of  Harvard,  Yale,  Columbia, 
Cornell  and  Princeton,  was  appointed  to  in- 
itiate a  movement  looking  toward  a  better  dif- 
ferentiation in  the  field  of  purchase  of  the 
larger  university  libraries. 

The  Committee  met  in  New  York  in  Jan- 
uary, 1921,  and  following  the  meeting  letters 
were  written  to  the  following  national  scien- 
tific societies : 

The  American  Historical  Association, 
The  Modern  Language  Association, 
The  American  Philosophical  Association, 
The  American  Psychological  Association, 
The  American  Political  Science  Association, 
suggesting,    first,   that   they   should   institute, 
each  within  its  own  field,  a  study  of  existing 
resources  for  investigation ;  second,  that  they 
should  attempt  to  work  out  a  program  of  col- 
lection  which   would  result  in   the   purchase 
of   material   in   lines   not  now   covered    and 
in  the  elimination  of  unwise  duplication. 

The  replies  received  from  these  societies  in- 
dicated great  interest  in  the  plan  but  an  inabil- 
ity to  finance  the  study  of  library  resources. 
In  every  case,  however,  committees  have  been 
appointed,  and  it  is  hoped  that  during  the 
coming  year  and  before  the  next  annual  meet- 
ings of  the  societies  a  definite  plan  can  be 
worked  out. 

The  work  done  by  this  preliminary  com- 
mittee was  discussed  at  the  meeting  of  the 
Western  College  Librarians  at  Chicago  in 
December,  1921,  and  it  was  the  judgment  of 
that  conference  that  the  committee  should  be 
placed  on  a  national  basis  and  should  have 
behind  it  the  prestige  of  the  American  Li- 
brary Association.  As  a  consequence  the

ANNUAL    REPORTS 


Executive  Board  authorized  the  appointment 
of  a  committee  consisting  of  the  following: 
J.  T.  GEROULD,  Chairman. 
WILLARD  AUSTEN, 
W.  W.  BISHOP, 
F.  C.  HICKS, 
ANDREW  KEOGH,

A.  H.  SHEARER, 
P.  L.  WINDSOR. 

Negotiations  will  be  undertaken  immediate- 
ly with  others  of  the  major  national  societies, 
and  within  another  year  we  shall  hope  to 
be  able  to  make  a  more  definite  report. 

The  above  is  submitted  purely  as  a  report 
of  progress. 

Very  truly  yours, 
JAMES  THAYER  GEROULD,  Chairman. 

REVISION     OF     ADAMS'     MANUAL 
OF  HISTORICAL  LITERATURE 

The  Committee  on  the  Revision  of  Adams' 
Manual  of  Historical  Literature  has  been  in 
co-operation  with  the  Committee  of  the  Amer- 
ican History  Association  which  is  prepar- 
ing the  work.  It  has  ceased  to  be  a  Revision 
of  Adams'  and  has  become  a  new  Manual. 
Publication  arrangements  have  been  made 
with  the  MacMillan  Co.  and  editorial  work 
has  continued  with  interruptions.  Of  the 
thirty  chapters,  four  are  ready  for  the  print- 
er, the  others  are  in  various  stages  of  prog- 
ress. The  hope  of  publishing  in  1922  is,  how- 
ever, not  to  be  justified  but  the  book  may  go 
to  press  before  the  end  of  the  year. 

AUGUSTUS  H.  SHEARER,  Chairman. 

SALARIES 

The  Salaries  Committee  was  not  appointed 
until  January,  1922.  Accordingly,  this  report 
will  largely  be  of  work  begun  and  recom- 
mendations for  future  work,  rather  than  of 
things  actually  accomplished.  The  Committee 
early  agreed  upon  the  following  as  an  initial 
program : 

1.  That    certain    salary    statistics    should    be 
printed   annually   such   as  : 

a.  Salary  statistics  of  30  large    public 
libraries. 

b.  Salary  statistics  of  30  medium  sized 
public  libraries. 


c.  Salary  statistics  of  30  selected  college 
and  university  libraries. 

2.  That    State    Library    Commissions    be    re- 

quested to  publish  salary  statistics  along 
with  other  statistics  of  libraries  in  their 
respective  states,  general  distribution  to 
be  made  to  libraries  within  each  state. 

3.  That    a   comparison   of    salaries    paid    to 

teachers   and    librarians   in    10   cities    be 
made.      That    the   cities    be    selected    by 
the  Committee  and  the  librarian  of  each 
be    asked    to    report    on    librarians'   and 
teachers'    salaries,    showing   in    the    case 
of  both  librarians  and  teachers  the  train- 
ing  and   experience    required. 
It  is  planned  later  to  collect  salary  statistics 
also  of  state,  federal  and  endowed  libraries. 

Questionnaires  have  already  been  sent  out 
from  A.  L.  A.  Headquarters  covering  the  pub- 
lic and  college  libraries  as  recommended  in 
No.  1.  The  schedule  of  positions  in  the  A. 
L.  A.  Revised  Form  for  Library  Statistics  has 
been  used  but  grades  have  been  so  defined 
that  it  should  be  possible  for  librarians  to 
make  more  exact  comparisons  of  salaries  paid 
in  different  libraries.  The  results  of  these 
questionnaires  will  be  printed  in  the  A.  L.  A. 
Bulletin  and  perhaps  in  separate  form  so 
that  they  may  be  available  for  use  with  li- 
brary trustees  and  tax  levying  bodies  for  it  is 
with  them  that  library  salaries  largely  have 
to  do,  not  with  the  public  in  general.  The 
Committee  believes  that  the  first  thing  for  the 
A.  L.  A.  to  do  is  to  print  annually  such  facts 
regarding  library  salaries.  Librarians  then 
can  use  these  facts  as  they  see  fit. 

The  printing  of  salary  statistics  by  library 
commissions  should  be  of  special  value  to 
small  libraries.  At  tfie  suggestion  of  the 
Salaries  Committee,  the  Library  Extension 
Division  of  the  New  York  State  Department 
of  Education  has  sent  out  a  circular  letter  to 
all  libraries  within  the  state  in  an  effort  to 
secure  comprehensive  salary  statistics  in  New 
York.  If  this  Division  can  compile  the  data 
received  from  this  questionnaire  it  may  well 
prove  very  helpful  to  other  state  library 
commissions  in  gathering  similar  data  within 
their  states. 
The  Committee  will  endeavor  to  have  a 


SALARIES 


59 


resolution  submitted  to  the  League  of  Library 
Commissions  at  its  meeting  in  Detroit  with 
the  purpose  of  having  the  League  endorse  the 
collecting  and  printing  of  salary  statistics  by 
library  commissions. 

The  Committee  would  especially  recommend 
that  every  state  library  association  have  a 
standing  committee  on  salaries.  The  value  of 
such  committees  is  well  illustrated  by  the  ex- 
ceedingly good  reports  on  library  salaries  pub- 
lished by  the  Committee  on  Salaries  of  the 
California  Library  Association  and  the  Pa- 
cific Northwest  Library  Association. 

Adequate  library  appropriations  as  a  whole 
invariably  result  in  better  salaries  and  the  Com- 
mittee is  glad  to  know  of  the  attention  which 
the  Trustees  Section  plans  to  give  to  this 
topic  at  Detroit.  In  this  respect  the  Com- 
mittee would  point  to  the  fact  brought  out 
in  the  report  of  the  Committee  on  Salaries  of 
the  Pacific  Northwest  Library  Association 
that  county  libraries  generally  pay  higher  sal- 
aries than  other  libraries  and  accordingly  an 
important  aid  in  the  solution  of  the  salary 
problem  would  be  the  further  extension  of 
the  county  library  system, 

In  order  to  ascertain  the  present  status 
of  the  salary  situation,  the  Committee  wrote 
to  a  number  of  representative  libraries  in  dif- 
ferent parts  of  the  country.  The  purpose  of 
this  letter  was  to  find  out  whether  appropria- 
tions were  being  decreased  and  whether  sal- 
aries had  been  decreased.  No  library  had 
decreased  salaries  but  a  number  had  been  un- 
able to  make  their  usual  increases.  This  is  in 
spite  of  the  fact  that  some  of  the  same  cities 
have  reduced  the  salaries  of  other  city  em- 
ployees. Half  of  the  libraries  had  received 
larger  appropriation  for  1922  than  1921;  the 
other  half  had  received  less.  A  number  of  li- 
braries had  used  other  funds  and  special  book 
funds  in  order  to  make  salary  increases.  One 
of  the  methods  of  economy  was  the  employing 
of  more  untrained  assistants.  The  Committee 
thinks  that  it  is  rather  remarkable  considering 
the  widespread  present  tendency  to  reduce 
taxes,  that  libraries  have  not  been  more  seri- 
ously affected.  In  a  number  of  cities,  in  spite 
of  this  tendency,  increased  appropriations  had 
been  secured  but  there  is  no  doubt  that  libra- 


ries generally  will  be  affected  more  or  less  by 
this  demand  for  lower  taxation.  Much  was 
done  during  the  war  toward  increasing  li- 
brary salaries,  and  the  salaries  proposed  for 
librarians  in  the  bill  in  Congress  for  reclas- 
sification  of  civil  service  employees  is  encour- 
aging. However,  they  are  far  from  being  at 
the  level  which  they  should  be  in  most  com- 
munities. It  is  the  opinion  of  the  Committee 
that  comparatively  little  can  ever  be  accom- 
plished toward  the  recruiting  of  high  grade 
library  school  students  or  of  making  certifi- 
cation practical  until  library  salaries  are 
more  generally  and  widely  increased. 

The  Committee  recommends  that  A.  L.  A. 
Headquarters  with  the  aid  of  the  Salaries 
Committee  should,  as  far  as  time  will  allow, 
be  constantly  making  studies  and  printing 
them,  of  various  phases  of  the  library  salary 
problem.  For  example,  a  study  should  be 
made  of  the  practice  of  libraries  regarding 
the  giving  of  stated  salary  increases  within 
grades ;  on  what  basis  they  are  made ;  whether 
they  are  made  annually  on  the  recommenda- 
tion of  the  librarian  with  the  approval  of  the 
Board  or  automatically ;  what  methods  are 
used  to  prevent  employees  receiving  increases 
without  merit. 

Other  subjects  for  special  studies  might 
be  Budgets  of  individual  librarians  selected  at 
random;  Study  of  the  effect  on  library  sal- 
aries of  employees  living  at  home.  The  Com- 
mittee is  certain  that  much  can  be  learned 
from  the  fight  for  higher  salaries  which  has 
been  and  is  being  made  by  teachers  especially 
through  the  N.  E.  A.  Every  number  of  the 
Journal  of  the  National  Education  Association 
includes  data  on  teachers'  salaries  and  the 
N.  E.  A.  also  is  publishing  compilations  on 
teachers'  salaries  of  which  the  January  bulle- 
tin is  an  exceedingly  good  example. 

There  is  a  difference  of  opinion  on  the 
part  of  the  various  members  of  the  Commit- 
tee regarding  the  setting  up  of  a  standard 
by  the  A.  L.  A.  for  a  minimum  beginning 
salary  for  trained  library  assistants.  Mr. 
Perry,  formerly  chairman  of  the  A.  L.  A. 
Salaries  Committee,  and  Mr.  Jennings,  chair- 
man of  the  Pacific-Northwest  Library  Asso- 
ciation Salaries  Committee,  are  both  of  the 


60 


ANNUAL    REPORTS 


opinion  that  this  would  be  desirable,  but  there 
are,  undoubtedly,  others  who  would  not  agree 
with  them.  The  Committee,  however,  would 
suggest  that  this  would  be  an  interesting  ques- 
tion to  be  considered  at  a  meeting  of  the 
A.  L.  A.  .Council. 

There  is  no  more  important  question  before 
American  libraries  than  library  salaries  and 
the  best  efforts  of  the  Association  officially  and 
of  librarians  individually  should  be  put  forth 
to  raise  the  standard  of  salaries.  Publicity 
that  can  be  obtained  on  library  salaries  in 
general  magazines  and  elsewhere  should  be  of 
benefit  to  all  libraries  but  the  raising  of  sal- 
aries will  depend  almost  entirely  upon  the 
efforts  of  the  individual  librarian  and  his 
board.  Evenden's  comprehensive  report  on 
teachers'  salaries  demonstrates  through  con- 
vincing statistics  that  there  is  little  if  any 
connection  between  the  wealth  or  prosperity 
of  a  city  and  the  scale  of  salaries  paid  to 
teachers.  It  says,  "The  above  study  would 
conclusively  indicate  that  this  question  of  in- 
creases to  teachers'  salaries  is  largely  a  mat- 
ter of  local  progress,  and  depends  more  upon 
the  development  of  a  favorable  community 
attitude  or  upon  the  aggressive  work  of  a  su- 
perintendent or  teachers'  organization  than 
upon  any  economic  development  of  the  com- 
munity. Such  a  study  is  evidence  of  the  oft 
repeated  statement  that  a  community  will  find 
the  means  of  supporting  schools  when  con- 
vinced that  it  is  a  desirable  thing  to  do." 

The  Salaries  Committee's  primary  object 
should  be  to  supply  ammunition  to  the  libra- 
rian in  his  fight  for  the  development  of  a 
favorable  community  attitude  toward  better  li- 
brary salaries.  The  Committee,  it  would  seem, 
can  best  do  this  by  making  available  such 
facts  bearing  on  salaries  as  have  been  indi- 
cated in  this  report.

SPONSORSHIP    FOR    KNOWLEDGE 

The  members  of  the  Committee  on  Sponsor- 
ship for  Knowledge  believe  the  time  has  ar- 


rived when  the  American  Library  Association 
should  consider  seriously  the  formal  adoption 
of  a  system  of  "Sponsors  for  Knowledge." 
This  belief  is  based  chiefly  on  what  seems  the 
obvious  need  for  making  known  sources  of  in- 
formation on  many  questions  that  are  fre- 
quently asked  but  unsatisfactorily  or  provis- 
ionally answered — particularly  in  the  library 
field.  Business  houses  are  more  and  more 
establishing  their  special  libraries,  in  connec- 
tion with  which  they  ask  "What  is  the  best 
system  of  classification  to  adopt?"  Therefore 
there  is  need  of  a  sponsor,  by  appealing  to 
whom  this  question  will  become  more  and 
more  satisfactorily  answered  each  time  it  is 
asked.  There  is  much  talk  about  "business 
English,"  and  the  American  mind  looks  for 
authority  on  many  questions  that  are  not  an- 
swered or  not  finally  answered  through  the 
usual  dictionaries  or  books  on  English,  and 
would  therefore  appreciate  a  source  of  appeal. 
Hence  the  need  of  a  sponsor  for  "business 
English,"  who  will  bring  enthusiasm  to  the 
problem  of  giving  satisfaction  when  the 
usual  channels  fail.  The  community  center 
movement  is  active  and  meets  with  varying 
success  in  different  places.  Its  literature  is  be- 
coming vast  and  there  is  need  of  an  unbiased 
opinion  on  the  many  questions  that  according- 
ly arise  in  connection  with  this  movement. 
Of  course,  there  are  many  authorities  on 
community  centers  in  this  country,  but  will 
not  a  single  library  or  librarian  accept  re- 
sponsibility for  "who's  who  and  where-to- 
look"  for  information  regarding  community 
centers?  Again,  always  a  difficulty  with  li- 
braries and  such  business  houses  as  have 
many  yearly  publications  to  send  for  is  the 
method  of  follow-up,  the  reminder,  or  "tick- 
ler" that  will  prevent  oversight  and  conse- 
quent failure  to  obtain  some  annual  publica- 
tion that  is  much  needed.  There  has  been  a 
committee  of  the  Special  Libraries  Associa- 
tion of  Boston  looking  into  this  subject,  and 
its  report  will  probably  have  been  published 
by  the  time  of  the  library  conference  at 
Detroit.  Hence  the  chairman  of  the  above 
committee  would  be  a  natural  sponsor  for  the 
"method  of  follow-up." 

'The   Committee  might   mention   dozens   of

subjects,  but  to  do  so  would  make  this  report 
too  lengthy.  Suffice  to  say  that,  with  the 
courage  of  its  convictions,  the  Committee  of- 
fers the  following  local  sponsorships,  includ- 
ed in  which  are  members  of  the  Library  Ex- 
tension Service  Committee  which  meets  at  the 
Boston  Public  Library  every  Tuesday  after- 
noon. 

Business  English :    Lee. 

Classification  systems  for  business  libraries :

Community  centers :    Tripp.

Educational    extensions :     Moyer. 

Factory   libraries :     Whitmore. 

Information    bureaus:      Gibbs. 

Reference  desk  methods  :    Chase. 

Stamps  and  coins  :     Wellman. 

Trusteeship  of  libraries:     Belden. 

By  way  of  bringing  matters  to  a  head  the 
following  resolution  is  offered :  "That  this 
report  be  considered  final,  the  Committee  dis- 
charged and  the  central  office  of  the  Ameri- 
can Library  Association  take  measures  neces- 
sary to  officialize  sponsorships  to  at  least  a 
hundred  in  number,  during  the  year  begin- 
ning July  1,  1922." 

The  Committee  would  emphasize  the  need 
for  publicity  as  a  feature  of  prime  importance, 
as  it  has  proved  easy  to  secure  sponsors,  but 
difficult  to  make  the  public  know  or  librarians 
realize  that  the  system  exists.

STANDARDIZATION  OF  LIBRARIES 

No  report. 


During  the  past  year  two  branches  of  the 
former  Library  war  service  continued  in  ac- 
tive operation,  and  conditions  arose  that  made 
it  necessary  for  the  A.  L.  A.  to  continue  its 
interest  in  them,  and  in  fact  take  an  active 
part  in  their  operation.  These  were  the  Li- 


brary service  at  Coblenz,  and  the  Hospital  Li- 
brary Service  throughout  the  United  States. 
Both  of  these  activities  had  been  transferred 
to  the  United  States  government,  the  Li- 
brary service  at  Coblenz  on  January  1st,  1921, 
and  the  Hospital  Library  Service,  July  1st, 

1921.  The  transfer  of  the  Library  service  at 
Coblenz   occurred  at  a  time   when   the  War 
service  funds  were  at  a  low  ebb,  and  it  seemed 
advisable  to  concentrate  expenditures  on  the 
Hospital  Library  Service  where  the  need  was 
greater,  and  no  government  funds  were  avail- 
able. 

Immediately  after  the  transfer  of  the  Cob- 
lenz library  it  appeared  that  owing  to  many 
unusual  demands  there  were  no  government 
funds  available  to  carry  on  the  library  serv- 
ice, with  the  result  that  it  was  transferred  to 
the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  and  that  organization  has 
carried  it  on  up  to  the  present  time.  But 
the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  funds  also  proved  inadequate, 
as  was  disclosed  by  the  visit  of  Win.  W. 
Bishop,  in  October,  1921,  which  resulted  in 
the  expenditure  of  $1000  of  the  Library  War 
fund,  which  had  been  augmented  since  the  be- 
ginning of  the  year.  This  money  was  ex- 
pended in  New  York  under  the  direct  super- 
vision of  Mr.  Hopper,  of  the  New  York 
Public  Library  staff,  who  looked  after  all 
details  and  sent  the  books  in  the  most  ex- 
peditious way  possible,  so  that  they  reached 
Miss  Steere  at  Coblenz  in  time  to  save  the 
situation. 

A  letter  from  the  Acting  Adjutant  General, 
dated  Washington,  Apr.  27,  1922,  referring 
to  the  work  of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  states  that  "li- 
brary books  amounting  to  $500.00  were  pur- 
chased during  the  latter  months  of  1921  by 
that  organization  and  additional  provision 
was  made  for  the  purchase  of  books  amount- 
ing to  $100.00  per  month  during  the  year 

1922,  such  books  to  be  placed  in  the  library 
but   to   remain   the   property   of   the   Young 
Men's    Christian    Association. 

"In  view  of  the  generous  contribution 
made  by  the  American  Library  Association 
during  November,  1921,  and  the  provisions 
made  by  the  Young  Men's  Christian  Associa- 
tion, it  would  appear  that  a  reasonable  quan- 
tity of  new  books  has  been  supplied  to  the 


62 


ANNUAL    REPORTS 


American  Forces  in  Germany  during  the 
recent  months." 

At  present  the  Committee  has  under  advise- 
ment the  re-transfer  of  the  books  sent  by 
the  A.  L.  A.  to  Coblenz.  Their  distribution 
will  probably  be  in  part  to  the  American  Li- 
brary in  Paris,  and  in  part  to  the  Y.  M.  C.  A. 
in  Europe  for  their  international  welfare 
work. 

The  Hospital  Library  Service  has  present- 
ed a  far  more  difficult  problem.  On  the 
first  of  July,  1921,  the  formal  transfer  of 
the  whole  service  to  the  United  States  gov- 
ernment was  completed,  and  both  personnel 
and  books  were  taken  over.  Funds  were  as- 
sured by  the  appropriation  of  $100,000  for 
the  purchase  of  books,  etc.,  in  the  Act  mak- 
ing appropriations  for  the  War  Risk  Insur- 
ance. This  peculiar  arrangement  made  it  some- 
what difficult  for  the  Public  Health  Service, 
under  whose  jurisdiction  most  of  the  hospitals 
for  the  ex-service  men  were  being  carried 
on,  to  conduct  the  library  service. 

The  first  difficulty  arose  in  connection  with 
the  position  of  the  director  of  the  service. 
It  seemed  to  the  government  officials  adminis- 
tering the  fund  of  $100,000  that  this  salary 
could  be  saved,  by  turning  the  work  over  to 
some  one  already  in  the  government  service, 
and  this  was  done  about  the  end  of  Septem- 
ber. On  the  other  hand  to  the  Committee 
and  to  the  Public  Health  Service  authorities, 
it  appeared  best  to  have  some  expert  librarian 
continue  to  act  in  connection  with  the  service, 
and  Miss  Webster  was  retained  in  an  advisory 
capacity,  her  salary  being  paid  by  the  A.  L.  A. 
out  of  Library  War  Service  funds.  There 
can  be  no  question  that  this  arrangement 
worked  for  the  great  advantage  of  all  con- 
cerned. 

On  May  1st,  1922,  a  final  transfer  of  the 
service  to  the  newly  created  Veterans'  Bu- 
reau was  made  in  pursuance  of  an  executive 
order  of  the  President.  This  order  placed  the 
management  and  control  of  all  the  hospitals 
previously  operated  by  the  Public  Health 
Service  for  veterans  of  the  World  War  in 
the  United  States  Veterans'  Bureau  and  of 
course  included  the  Hospital  Library  Service. 
What  the  status  of  the  Director  of  the 


service  will  be  under  the  new  arrangement,  it 
will  be  impossible  to  say,  but  the  matter  is 
under  consideration. 

At  this  point  it  may  not  be  amiss  to  quote 
from  a  letter  sent  by  the  Surgeon  General, 
H.  S.  Gumming,  under  date  of  May  5th, 
1922,  to  Mr.  Root  concerning  "the  library 
service  as  now  operated  under  the  supervision 
of  Miss  Caroline  Webster  of  the  American 
Library  Association." 

"This  separation  of  the  Public  Health 
Service  from  a  large  share  of  this  work  gives 
appropriate  occasion  for  me  to  express  to 
you,  as  the  head  of  the  American  Library 
Association,  the  very  keen  appreciation  of 
the  Public  Health  Service  for  the  most  ex- 
cellent co-operation  of  your  organization  in 
carrying  on  satisfactory  work  in  the  hos- 
pitals of  this  Service. 

"I  wish  to  assure  you  that  this  work 
throughout,  both  before  and  after  its  transfer 
to  the  Public  Health  Service,  has  not  only 
been  satisfactorily  done,  but  has  shown  itself 
to  be  a  factor  of  essential  importance  in  the 
operation  of  our  hospitals.  We  have  all  been 
so  much  impressed  with  the  value  of  this 
service  as  to  consider  it  an  essential  part  of 
the  successful  operation  of  our  hospitals. 

"I  also  take  this  occasion  to  express  my 
gratitude  that  the  American  Library  Asso- 
ciation should  have  found  it  feasible  to 
lend  us  the  services  of  Caroline  Webster, 
under  whom  this  work  has  been  developed, 
organized  and  managed.  Miss  Webster  has 
shown  a  fine  spirit  of  co-operation  and  with- 
out her  services  this  organization  would  never 
have  functioned  with  such  satisfaction." 

A  second  difficulty  in  connection  with  the 
transfer  of  the  Hospital  Library  Service 
arose  from  the  slowness  with  which  govern- 
ment funds  became  available  and  govern- 
ment purchases  are  made,  and  toward  the 
end  of  1921,  it  became  necessary  for  the  A. 
L.  A.  to  purchase  books  and  place  subscrip- 
tions for  magazines  to  be  used  in  the  library 
hospitals. 

While  the  original  instructions  to  the  Com- 
mittee were  to  wind  up  the  Library  War 
Service  in  all  its  branches  as  rapidly  as  pos- 
sible it  has  not  been  found  advisable  to  do

so  in  the  case  of  the  Hospital  Library  Serv- 
ice. There  can  be  no  question  that  if  the  A. 
L.  A.  had  withdrawn  absolutely,  the  men  in 
the  hospitals  would  have  suffered  greatly  for 
lack  of  proper  library  service.  It  is  the  plain 
duty  of  the  A.  L.  A.  to  use  what  funds  of  the 
War  service  remain,  to  supplement  the  work 
of  the  government,  as  far  as  its  limited 
funds  permit  to  secure  the  best  possible  li- 
brary service  to  the  men  in  the  hospitals. 
H.  H.  B.  MEYER,  Chairman. 

UNION   LIST   OF   PERIODICALS 

The  Committee  on  a  Union  List  of  Periodi- 
cals reports  progress  but  has  no  definite  re- 
sults to  offer  at  present.  Several  conferences 
have  been  held  between  the  Chairman  and 
the  President  of  the  H.  W.  Wilson  Com- 
pany. A  tentative  scheme  has  been  worked 
out  and  at  a  later  date  it  is  hoped  that  this 
scheme  will  be  brought  forward  for  dis- 
cussion at  the  Detroit  meeting.  In  the  mean- 
time a  preliminary  examination  will  be  af- 
forded at  the  meeting  of  the  American  Li- 
brary Institute  in  Atlantic  City  on  the  af- 
ternoon of  Friday,  April  28.

VENTILATION  AND  LIGHTING  OF 
LIBRARY  BUILDINGS 

Your  Committee  on  Ventilation  and  Light- 
ing of  Library  Buildings  had  expected  to  sub- 
mit its  final  report  at  the  meeting  of  the 
Council  in  Chicago  last  December.  However, 
the  work  of  the  Committee  on  Library  Rev- 
enues, of  which  the  undersigned  is  also 
chairman,  was  deemed  of  such  importance 
that  all  available  time  was  given  to  that 
subject;  in  other  words,  the  report  was  not 
drafted  for  that  meeting. 

The  scientific  data  which  has  been  gathered 
by  the  Committee  makes  this  report  a  volum- 
inous one,  and  a  draft  of  this  will  be  sub- 
mitted to  the  other  members  of  the  com- 


mittee at  Detroit  preliminary  to  handing  in 
the  final  report. 

Respectfully  submitted, 
SAMUEL  H.  RANCK,  Chairman. 

WORK  WITH   THE  BLIND 

From  a  total  of  about  $12,200  given  for 
books  for  the  blind,  there  have  been  embossed 
83  titles,  comprising  108  volumes  of  Revised 
Braille,  and  one  title  in  five  volumes  of  Moon 
Type.  Fifty-five  percent  of  these  books  are 
fiction. 

Selected  papers  on  philosophy  by  William 
James,  Caleb  West  master  diver  by  F.  Hop- 
kinson  Smith,  and  Heyday  of  the  blood  by 
Dorothy  Canfield  Fisher  have  just  been 
brailled. 

Florence  Nightingale  and  The  end  of  Gen- 
eral Gordon,  from  Eminent  Victorians  by  Lyt- 
ton  Strachey,  and  The  age  of  innocence  by 
Edith  Wharton  are  in  press.  After  this  work 
has  been  paid  for,  the  balance  on  hand  will 
be  sufficient  to  braille  another  book. 

Although  for  a  year  and  a  half  no  funds 
have  been  solicited,  gifts  totaling  more  than 
$2000  have  been  received,  and  two  organiza- 
tions indicate  their  intention  to  make  further 
gifts. 

Mention  of  the  following  authors  and  or- 
ganizations contributing  to  this  work  show 
wide-spread  interest  and  co-operation: — 
Henry  Van  Dyke,  Ida  M.  Tarbell,  Edith 
Wharton,  Thomas  Nelson  Page,  Mrs.  Jack 
London,  Mary  Roberts  Rinehart,  Mary  Ray- 
mond Shipman  Andrews,  Irvin  S.  Cobb,  Ed- 
ward E.  Peple,  Montague  Glass,  Jack  Lait, 
Frank  Crane,  Holworthy  Hall,  Anne  Sedg- 
wick,  Herbert  Adams  Gibbons,  Ida  M.  Leupp, 
Grace  S.  Richmond,  Albert  Payson  Terhune, 
Eleanor  Porter,  Helen  Mackay,  Stewart  Ed- 
ward White,  Will  Payne,  Booth  Tarkington, 
The  National  W.  C.  T.  U.,  Red  Cross  Insti- 
tute for  the  Blind,  Drexel  Library  School, 
Daughters  of  Ohio  in  New  York,  Braille  So- 
ciety of  Pittsburgh,  etc.,  etc. 

One  donor  desired  a  book  put  into  Moon 
Type,  which  is  not  embossed  in  this  coun- 
try. The  work  was  done  in  England  by  the 
National  Institute  for  the  Blind  which  agreed 
to  provide  copies  of  the  work  to  American

ANNUAL   REPORTS 


purchasers  at  3s  6d  per  volume.  Contrary  to 
expectation  a  number  of  libraries  were  re- 
quired to  pay  the  general  increased  price  of 
16s  per  volume  charged  all  American  purchas- 
ers of  N.  I.  B.  publications. 

This  Committee,  meeting  at  the  Library  of 
Congress  on  February  18,  passed  the  follow- 
ing resolutions,  "Our  Committee  expresses 
its  thanks  to  Cornelia  Rhoades  who,  rela- 
tive to  the  raising  of  a  fund  to  be  used  by 
the  English  as  a  memorial  to  the  late  Sir  Ar- 
thur Pearson,  set  forth  in  an  able  letter  which 
appeared  in  the  New  York  Times,  The  Trib- 
une and  The  Sun,  the  great  need  for  embossed 
books  here  in  America.  The  Committee  heart- 
ily endorses  the  appeal  made  by  Miss  Rhoades 
that  in  view  of  the  high  prices  which  the 
American  purchaser  must  pay  for  the  em- 
bossed English  publications,  some  of  those 
in  this  country  who  intend  contributing  toward 
the  fund  may  be  willing  to  help  the  Ameri- 
can blind  as  well." 

The  Committee  also  addressed  the  Ameri- 
can Foundation  for  the  Blind,  expressing  a 
hope  that  that  organization  .would  issue  a 
statement  of  the  need  for  funds  for  emboss- 
ing in  America. 

It  was  the  sense  of  Committee  members 
that  we  should  urge  the  Chicago  and  Cleve- 
land Public  Libraries  to  serve  grade  one  and 
a  half  braille  books  to  readers  throughout  the 
Middle  West. 

In  response  to  a  request  from  the  Georgia 
Library  Commission  for  aid  in  establishing  a 
circulating  library  in  Georgia,  loans  were  of- 
fered by  the  Cincinnati  Library  Society  for 
the  Blind  and  the  Library  for  the  Blind,  New 
York  Public  Library.  A  loan  from  the  form- 
er source  has  been  effected,  and  the  Georgia 
Library  Commission  is  prepared  to  circulate 
this  small  group  of  books  which  will  be 
changed  from  time  to  time.  The  Commission 
hopes  also  to  act  as  a  clearing  house  of  in- 
formation on  library  facilities  (outside  the 
state)  available  for  the  blind  of  Georgia;  to 
compile  a  mailing  list  of  the  blind  of  the 
state  with  a  notation  of  the  types  read  by 
each ;  and  to  send  out  circular  letters  of  in- 
formation from  time  to  time  to  all  persons 
listed. 


Our  definite  interest  follows  the  proposed 
publication  by  the  A.  L.  A.  of  a  list  of 
books  in  12  point  or  larger  type.  The  real 
need  for  such  a  list  is  indicated  by  inquiries 
from  readers  needing  to  be  relieved  of  eye 
strain,  persons  with  defective  vision  whose 
eyes  are  likely  to  improve  under  favorable 
conditions,  and  old  people  no  longer  able  to 
read  ordinary  print. 

The  American  Foundation  for  the  Blind, 
incorporated  and  organized  in  the  past  year, 
is  the  possible  realization  of  many  ideals  and 
efforts  to  unify  the  work  for  the  blind.  It  is 
hoped  and  believed  it  will  do  great  things  for 
the  blind  of  America,  and  that  its  reflex  in- 
fluence will  be  helpful  to  the  blind  of  other 
countries.  The  objects  of  the  Foundation  are 
briefly  these:  (1)  To  co-operate  with  exist- 
ing agencies  or  such  agencies  as  may  hereaf- 
ter be  established  in  promoting  all  and  every 
interest  of  the  blind  in  America  and  to  initiate 
movements  for  such  purpose;  (2)  To  en- 
deavor to  secure  local,  state  and  federal  legis- 
lation for  the  welfare  of  the  blind  and  the 
partially  blind;  (3)  To  establish  and  maintain, 
with  the  necessary  personnel  and  equipment, 
such  bureaus  and  departments  as  may  be  re- 
quired for  its  work,  such  as  (a)  Bureau  of 
information  and  publicity  to  assemble,  sys- 
tematize and  disseminate  all  available  data  in 
any  way  relating  to  work  for  the  blind,  (b) 
Bureau  of  research  to  ascertain,  develop  and 
standardize,  by  comparison,  experimentation, 
and  otherwise,  the  best  methods  'of  instruc- 
tion, kinds  of  apparatus  and  appliances,  or- 
ganizations, procedures,  etc.,  for  the  various 
lines  of  work  for  the  blind  and  the  partially 
blind,  (c)  Bureau  of  education  to  improve 
every  facility  for  preparing  the  blind  and  the 
partially  blind  for  the  greatest  possible  par- 
ticipation in  the  activities  and  enjoyments  of 
life. 

Again  this  year  an  extension  half-course  on 
The  Education  of  the  Blind  was  given  by 
the  Graduate  School  of  Education  of  Harvard 
University. 

Thirty  lectures  were  given  by  eight  speak- 
ers on  the  following  subjects :  The  education 
of  the  blind  historically  to  date;  The  gen- 
eral situation  of  public  work  for  the  blind

in  Massachusetts,  i.  e.,  provision  for  the 
adult,  prevention,  relief;  Placement;  What 
a  teacher  of  sight-saving  classes  should 
know  of  the  eye  and  its  diseases;  The  atti- 
tude of  the  seeing  toward  the  blind ;  How 
to  get  up  public  demonstrations ;  Home 
teaching;  The  story  of  the  Royal  Normal 
College  for  the  Blind,  London ;  The  psychol- 
ogy of  blindness  and  the  blind. 

Eleven  students  were  registered,  of  whom 
five  were  blind. 

"Last  year's  summer  course  for  teachers  of 
the  blind,  given  at  Peabody  College,  Nashville, 
Tennessee,  will  be  extended  and  repeated  this 
summer. 

A  course  of  instruction  for  home  teachers 
of  the  blind  was  given  at  Columbia  University 
the  summer  of  1921. 

The  National  American  Red  Cross  is  organ- 
izing and  training  groups  of  volunteer  braille 
transcribers  in  Chapters  throughout  the 
country.  A  pamphlet  giving  self  taught  braille 
lessons  has  been  published,  and  is  distributed 
with  other  necessary  information  about  the 
work.  Braille  books  are  copied  primarily  for 
the  American  war-blind,  but  they  will  ulti- 
mately go  to  the  blind  of  the  country. 

The  Red  Cross  nurse  is  a  well-known  fig- 
ure the  world  over.  The  woman  who  sits 
at  her  braille  writer  or  slate  copying  books 
for  the  blinded  soldier  to  read  is  a  new  picture 
in  Red  Cross  work,  yet  she  has  had  a  vital 
part  in  the  rehabilitation  of  the  war-blind. 
What  the  volunteer  is  now  doing  for  the 
war-blind  will  be  done  also  for  the  civilian 
blind.  Many  readers  long  for  more  popular 
and  up-to-date  books.  Unless  a  vast  endow- 
ment is  forthcoming,  their  wants  will  never 
be  met  save  by  the  volunteer  copyist,  as 
braille  printing  is  not  a  commercial  propo- 
sition. 

In  England  where  braille  printing  is  en- 
dowed by  the  Carnegie  Trust  Fund,  hand- 
copying  has  long  been  in  vogue.  A  hand- 
copied  book  will  last  for  years  if  well  done  on 
suitable  paper  and  properly  shellacked. 

In  the  past  three  months  9506  pages  of 
braille  manuscript  have  been  received,  proof- 
read and  bound  into  109  volumes.  Among  the 
longer  books  are,  Thomas  Alva  Edison  by  F. 


A.  Jones,  Seventeen  by  Booth  Tarkington,  Age 
of  innocence  by  Edith  Wharton,  and  Mary- 
'Gusta  by  Joseph  Lincoln. 

"Up  to  April  1,  1922,  510  ex-service  men 
have  been  referred  to  the  United  States  Veter- 
ans' Bureau  on  account  of  blindness  or  seri- 
ously defective  vision.  Of  this  number  390 
have  been  given  training  to  overcome  their 
handicap,  260  of  them  having  been  at  Ever- 
green School  for  the  Blind ;  277  are  in  train- 
ing at  the  present  time,  85  at  Evergreen,  130 
in  other  institutions,  and  62  in  training  on 
the  job,  or  in  project  training  on  their  own 
farm  or  in  their  own  business. 

"The  Red  Cross  Institute  for  the  Blind, 
popularly  known  as  'Evergreen,'  located  at 
Baltimore,  Maryland,  was  an  outgrowth  of 
U.  S.  General  Hospital  No.  7,  which  was 
established  to  care  for  the  United  States 
blinded  soldiers  and  sailors  upon  their  return 
from  France.  In  May,  1919,  the  hospital  was 
taken  over  by  the  American  Red  Cross  as  a 
school  for  the  training  of  blind  ex-service 
men  under  contract  first  with  the  Federal 
Board  for  Vocational  Education  and  later 
with  the  U.  S.  Veterans'  Bureau.  On  Jan- 
uary 1,  1922,  the  school  was  taken  over  by 
the  U.  S.  Veterans'  Bureau,  the  name  being 
changed  to  Evergreen  School  for  the  Blind. 

"There  exists  in  the  United  States  no  other 
institution  for  the  training  of  the  adult  blind, 
other  than  a  few  workshops  and  industrial 
homes,  which  with  one  or  two  exceptions,  are 
not  equipped  for  the  training  of  our  ex-service 
men.  Evergreen  School  for  the  Blind  is  to 
give  the  pre-vocational  or  fundamental  train- 
ing necessary  for  the  blind  to  all  ex-service 
men  blind  or  with  seriously  defective  vision 
who  are  eligible  for  training  under  the  law, 
and  certain  special  courses  of  vocational  train- 
ing particularly  adapted  for  the  blind. 

"The  pre-vocational  training  consists  of 
courses  in  the  reading  and  writing  of  braille, 
touch  typewriting,  various  kinds  of  hand 
training  such  as  basketry,  wood  working, 
hammock  making,  etc.,  to  teach  the  newly 
blinded  adult  to  use  his  hands  in  place  of  his 
eyes.  Music  instruction  is  also  given. 

"The  vocational  training  consists  of  courses 
in  massage,  store  keeping,  dictaphone  operat-

giving  us  these  books,  every  week  they  put

Evergreen  School  for  the  Blind,  Baltimore. 
>— The  Braille  library  at  Evergreen  School  for 
the  Blind,  although  small,  contains  more  books 
in  revised  braille,  grade  one  and  a  half, 
than  any  other  library  in  the  country.  Its 


chief  interest,  however,  lies  in  the  fact  that 
out  of  the  1395  volumes  in  the  library,  822 
are  hand^copied  books,  transcribed  by  volun- 
teer workers  throughout  the  country,  under 
the  direction  of  Mrs.  Gertrude  T.  Rider,  of 
the  Library  of  Congress.  One  can  see  from 
these  figures  the  great  value  of  the  volunteer 
work  since  the  press  made  volumes  amount 
only  to  573  in  number  and  include  many  dupli- 
cates. 

The  monthly  circulation  varies  from  104 
to  178  volumes.  One  important  feature  of 
the  library  is  the  reading  room,  where  the 
men  go  during  their  spare  time  to  read  and 
smoke  in  quiet. 

To  those  who  have  been  engaged  in  this 
work  from  the  beginning  and  remember  the 
hard  struggle  these  newly-blinded  men  had 
in  acquiring  braille,  and  how  much  they  dis- 
liked it,  it  is  a  source  of  much  gratification 
to  see  what  happiness  and  comfort  it  is  now 
bringing  to  many  of  them.  Many  instances 
could  be  cited  showing  the  present  popularity 
of  the  once  much  despised  subject;  if  a  book 
is  read  and  liked  by  one  reader,  the  news 
soon  spreads,  and  in  a  short  time  we  have 
a  waiting  list  for  the  book.  When  at  the 
hospital,  the  men  send  to  us  for  braille  books 
as  soon  as  they  are  able  to  read.  One  man 
who  had  been  having  a  book  read  aloud  to 
him,  was  delighted  to  find  that  he  could 
finish  the  story  himself  in  braille.  This 
serves  to  give  a  slight  idea  of  the  important 
place  which  braille  is  now  filling  in  the  lives 
of  our  students.

Library  of  the  Perkins  Institution,  Water- 
town. — The  circulation  of  our  embossed 
books  among  the  blind  is  constantly  increas- 
ing. There  is  more  and  more  demand  by  our 
readers  for  the  books  embossed  in  the  braille 
system,  grade  one  and  a  half.  We  have  now 
255  different  books  in  this  type,  making  480 
volumes.  The  books  in  Line  type  and  New 
York  point  are  gradually  being  diminished 
through  discarding  worn  out  copies.  The 
American  braille  we  replenish  for  use  in  our

ANNUAL    REPORTS 


class  rooms  and  for  many  of  our  readers. 
We  accessioned  995  volumes  last  year  in  the 
different  types. 

Our  total  circulation  was  increased  by 
1,996.  We  registered  958  active  readers  in  the 
school  and  outside.  We  sent  through  the  post 
office  to  different  parts  of  the  United  States 
and  to  Canada  8.922  volumes.  This  with  the 
5,981  volumes  circulated  in  the  school  made 
a  total  circulation  of  14,903.  We  are  supply- 
ing reading  matter  to  the  blind  of  New  Eng- 
land, but  also  send  books  anywhere  if  read- 
ers are  not  able  to  obtain  them  nearer  home. 

We  have  standing  orders  for  copies  of  each 
new  publication  in  grade  one  and  a  half  at 
the  Howe  Publishing  House :  the  Clover- 
nook  Printing  House  and  for  Moon  books 
at  the  Moon  Society,  London,  England.  We 
also  order  two  or  more  copies  of  all  the 
books  printed  in  grade  one  and  a  half  by 
the  American  Printing  House  for  the  Blind. 
The  American  Brotherhood  of  Free  Reading 
for  the  Blind  presents  us  with  two  copies  each 
of  its  publications.  We  hope  to  have  at  least 
one  copy  of  everything  printed  in  grade  one 
and  a  half. 

Our  special  reference  library  on  blindness 
and  the  blind  for  the  use  of  all  students  of 
the  subject  has  been  increased  by  books  in 
English,  French  and  German.  We  have  also 
purchased  from  Dr.  Mell  of  Vienna  many 
German  war  posters  connected  with  the 
blinded  soldiers.  This  collection  of  blindiana 
was  much  used  from  October  to  February  by 
the  students  in  the  Graduate  School  of  Edu- 
cation at  Harvard  University  who  were  tak- 
ing the  course  on  the  education  of  the  blind 
conducted  by  Mr.  Allen.  The  lectures  were 
given  at  Harvard  and  the  Saturday  morning 
talks  and  demonstrations  were  given  in  the 
Library  at  Perkins  Institution.  The  students 
in  this  course  were  most  enthusiastic  and  all 
who  took  the  final  examination  passed  with 
credit. 

As  last  year,  two  of  our  teachers  will  go 
again  to  the  George  Peabody  Normal  College, 
Tennessee,  in  June  to  teach  classes  for  teach- 
ers of  the  blind.  An  additional  teacher  in 
manual  training  goes  with  them  this  year. 
One  part  of  this  course  includes  libraries  for 


the  blind,  giving  all  information  as  to  where 
libraries  are  and  how  they  may  be  used.  In 
this  way  many  learn  how  the  blind  in  out-of- 
the-way  places  may  obtain  reading  matter. 
We  are  now  referring  readers  to  our  newer 
centers  in  Alabama,  St.  Louis  and  Texas.

Because  of  the  very  high  cost  of  the  print- 
ing and  of  the  binding  of  embossed  type  books 
and  because  of  a  decided  reduction  in  the 
appropriation  for  buying  and  printing  books 
for  this  Library,  but  one  publication,  and 
that  the  generous  gift  of  Nina  Rhoades, 
was  printed  this  year.  It  was  Mrs.  Mary 
Raymond  Shipman  Andrews'  story,  His  soul 
goes  marching  on,  written  for  President 
Roosevelt's  birthday.  The  Roman  Catholic 
women  of  Albany  and  Troy  have  been  much 
interested  in  copying  books  in  Grade  \l/t 
and  have  given  several  titles  to  the  Library 
which  were  printed  by  the  Xavier  Free  Pub- 
lication Society  for  the  Blind  of  New  York

The  past  two  years  of  the  Cincinnati  Li- 
brary Society  for  the  Blind  have  been  busy 
and  interesting  ones.  The  four  weekly  meet- 
ings of  the  blind  held  at  the  Public  Library 
are  eagerly  looked  forward  to,  not  only  by 
the  blind,  but  by  the  volunteer  workers  who 
conduct  them.  At  three  of  these  meetings 
the  new  books  and  current  events  are  read. 
The  fourth  meeting  is  held  for  the  purpose  of 
teaching  the  embossed  type,  pencil  writing, 
sewing,  knitting,  etc. 

New  books  are  added  in  revised  braille 
and  New  York  point  as  rapidly  as  they  are 
published.  Mr.  Charles  Boldt  very  kindly 
gave  five  hundred  corrugated  boxes  to  be  used 
in  sending  these  books  through  the  mail  to 
blind  readers  in  many  states.  The  catalogs 
printed  in  New  York  point  and  revised 
braille  have  proved  to  be  the  greatest  help 


to  borrowers,  as  some  are  deaf  as  well  as 
blind,  and  some  live  alone,  it  would  be  very 
hard  to  have  an  ink  print  catalog  read  to 
them.

Though  our  braille  sections  were  not 
opened  till  the  Library  had  been  in  existence 
for  several  years,  our  English  braille  titles 
are  approximately  300  greater  than  those  in 
New  York  point.  English  braille  volumes 
are  only  200  odd  in  excess  of  New  York  point. 
The  reason  is  that  for  convenience  in  mailing, 
as  well  as  lasting  quality,  we  had  the  majority 


of  our  New  York  point  books  bound  in  small 
volumes  or  pamphlets.  We  found  that  the  bul- 
ky volumes  usually  supplied  in  the  case  of  New 
York  point  soon  became  racked  and  broken- 
backed  in  traveling  all  over  the  country.  The 
smaller  volumes,  however,  seem  to  last  almost 
indefinitely. 

New  York  point,  even  though  it  had  not 
been  formally  voted  out  of  existence  would 
have  been  doomed  in  this  country  to  gradual 
extinction,  because  braille  books  (I  here  have 
particular  reference  to  British  publications) 
contain  more  reading  matter  per  volume,  cov- 
er a  greater  range  of  subjects  and  offer  a 
much  greater  choice  of  that  class  of  some- 
what light  fiction  demanded  by  the  majority 
of  blind  readers,  just  as  is  the  case  with 
sighted  library  patrons.  Classics  are  all  right 
and  should  be  provided  in  proper  doses,  but 
the  average  readers  ask  for  excitement,  action, 
emotion,  love,  hate,  and  all  the  gamut  of  the 
vaudeville  and  melodramatic  class  of  litera- 
ture. 

Until  a  year  ago  the  British  presses  were 
running  full  time  on  light  fiction  and  this 
library  at  least  could  not  keep  pace  with 
the  demand  of  its  patrons  for  work  of 
the  kind  referred  to.  For  the  past  twelve 
months,  the  National  Institute  for  the  Blind 
has  been  paying  more  attention  to  text  books 
for  school  purposes  than  to  general  library 
needs.  We,  therefore,  are  hard  put  to  it,  to 
get  sufficient  new  stuff  for  our  readers.  The 
American  Library  Association  could  do  no 
better  in  my  estimation  at  least,  than  confine 
its  assistance  to  American  embossers,  to  the 
field  of  fiction,  and  fiction  of  a  quick,  thrill- 
ing, emotional  type. 

Our  total  circulation  for  1921  was  12,296,  an 
increase  of  800  odd  over  the  circulation  of  the 
previous  year.  By  far  the  greatest  amount  of 
this  circulation  must  be  accredited  to  braille. 
Our  publishing  department  was  concerned 
mostly  with  the  production  of  text  books  for 
the  Ontario  School  for  the  Blind,  but  we 
managed  to  print  George  H.  Locke's  splen- 
did little  historical  work  When  Canada  was 
New  France.  We  are  now,  by  the  way,  about 
to  braille  Louis  Hemon's  Maria  Chapdelaine,

WORK  WITH  THE  FOREIGN  BORN 

The  principal  activities  of  the  Committee 
this  year  have  been  in  two  lines :  in  corre- 
spondence with  librarians  seeking  advice  and 
information,  particularly  in  problems  of  book- 
buying;  and  in  the  preparation  of  the  series 
of  articles  on  library  relations  with  various 
immigrant  groups,  the  first  numbers  of  which 
have  appeared  in  the  Library  Journal  as  fol- 
lows: 

Yiddish  literature,  in  the  number  of  De- 
cember 15,  1921 ;  the  Polish  immigrant  and 
the  library,  part  1,  January  15,  1922;  the 
Library  and  the  Japanese,  February  15,  1922. 
The  Roumanian  immigrant  and  the  library, 
May  1,  1922. 

Part  2  of  The  Polish  Immigrant  and  the 
library  is  in  the  hands  of  the  editor.  An  ar- 
ticle on  library  work  with  Greek  immigrants 
is  about  ready  and  other  topics  are  in  prep- 
aration. 

It  has  been  the  aim  of  these  articles  to  fur- 
nish such  practical  information  as  will  be  of 
use  to  librarians  generally.  They  have  found 
much  appreciation  also  on  the  part  of  the 
immigrant  groups  discussed.  The  Polish  im- 
migrant and  the  library  was  reviewed  editor- 
ially at  considerable  length  in  the  Polish  press 
and  has  produced  real  interest  among  the 
Polish  public  in  the  work  of  libraries.  The 
chairman  of  the  Committee  has  been  asked 
to  take  charge  of  weekly  library  columns  in 
two  important  Polish  newspapers.  This  could 
be  made  a  work  of  much  value  in  the  exten- 
sion of  library  interest  and  influence,  and 
in  the  Americanization  through  the  library 
of  the  Polish  people. 

The  chairman  represented  the  Committee 
at  the  National  Conference  of  Social  Work 
in  Milwaukee  in  June,  1921,  and  at  the  Con- 
ference of  the  Department  of  Work  with 
Foreign  Born  Americans  of  the  Episcopal 
church  at  the  same  time.  From  Milwaukee 
she  went  at  her  own  expense  to  Stevens 


Point,  Wisconsin,  to  the  Mother  House  of 
the  Polish  Sisters  of  St.  Joseph,  where  she 
addressed  the  Order  on  How  the  library 
can  help  the  Sisters  in  their  teaching.  This 
was  an  important  piece  of  work;  not  only  be- 
cause the  Sisters  addressed  teach  225,000  chil- 
dren in  parochial  schools  in  7  states ;  but  also 
because  it  marked  the  beginning  of  great  pos- 
sibilities in  parochial  school  relations.  People 
who  regard  the  public  school  as  the  universal 
melting-pot  are  apparently  not  aware  that 
hundreds  of  thousands  of  children  of  foreign 
parents  attend  parochial  schools  where  they 
are  segregated  by  race.  The  library  is  the 
only  agency  so  situated  as  to  be  able  to  estab- 
lish helpful  and  effective  contacts  with  these 
children  and  their  teachers  and  the  importance 
of  so  doing  cannot  be  overestimated. 

The  Committee  are  in  a  position  to  promote 
this  work  by  visiting  other  teaching  orders, 
having  invitations  to  other  Mother-Houses, 
but  it  is  felt  that  the  Association  ought  to 
meet  the  necessary  expenses  of  travel;  and 
it  is  perhaps  not  amiss  to  say  that  there  should 
be  assurance  that  the  Sisters  will  be  received 
at  the  libraries  they  find  it  convenient  to  use 
with  the  responsiveness  and  interest  they  have 
been  promised. 

A  round  table  on  work  with  the  foreign  born 
is  in  preparation  for  the  Detroit  conference, 
and  it  is  designed  to  make  the  program  one 
of  practical  helpfulness. 

The  following  suggestions  are  made  to 
the  Association  as  the  general  conclusions  of 
the  year,  and  it  is  recommended  that  they  be 
adopted  by  the  Council  as  an  A.  L.  A.  plat- 
form on  library  work  with  the  foreign  born : 

1st.  The  public  library  should  be  absolutely 
democratic  in  regimen  and  administration,  giv- 
ing equal  service  to  the  whole  public  regard- 
less of  the  place  of  nativity.  Where  funds 
are  insufficient,  preference  should  be  given  to 
those  portions  of  the  community  having  least 
opportunity  at  their  own  command. 

2nd  In  order  to  provide  the  service  which 
is  the  just  due  of  all  taxpayers,  and  which 
is  an  essential  part  of  the  educational  and 
recreational  functions  of  the  public  library,  the 
immigrant  people  should  be  provided  with 
reading  matter  which  they  can  use,  both  in 


72 


ANNUAL    REPORTS 


easy  English  books  and  in  books  and  periodi- 
cals in  the  native  tongue. 

3rd.  Assistants  should  be  trained  for  work 
with  immigrants  as  a  special  field  of  library 
work,  and  encouraged  in  the  study  of  racial 
understanding  and  of  immigrant  literatures 
and  of  the  characteristics  of  immigrant  cul- 
tures. Library  schools  should  incorporate 
work  along  this  line  into  their  regular  courses. 

4th.  In  communities  having  considerable  im- 
migrant population,  the  library  should  be 
given  prominence  as  a  social  institution,  and 
should  be  made  in  actual  fact  a  community 
center.  We  recommend  in  this  connection 
the  free  use  of  library  rooms  for  clubs,  public 
meetings  and  the  like;  formal  invitations  to 
organizations  such  as  societies,  lodges  and 
study-classes  for  carefully  planned  visits ;  and 
also  that  libraries  take  the  initiative  in  the 
public  introduction  of  official  representatives 
of  European  countries,  such  as  consuls  and 
visiting  members  of  legations,  and  of  dis- 
tinguished European  visitors  of  races  locally 
represented.  The  public  library  is  admirably 
situated  as  a  place  for  informal  public  recep- 
tions which,  in  the  entertainment  of  distin- 
guished guests,  may  naturally  bring  together 
native  and  foreign  born  elements  of  the 


population,   to  the  great  increase  of   mutual 
respect  and  appreciation. 

In  conclusion,  the  Committee  call  the  atten- 
tion of  the  Association  to  the  fact  that  no 
work  worth  doing  can  be  accomplished  with- 
out an  expenditure  of  money  on  the  part 
of  some  one.  We  as  individuals  and  the  li- 
braries with  which  we  are  connected  have 
met  all  the  expenses  of  the  work  of  the 
last  two  years,  but  our  limit  is  about  reached. 
For  the  editorial  work  which  is  open  to  us, 
and  for  the  correspondence  which  comes  to 
us,  stenographic  help  is  necessary,  and  we 
should  have  a  fund  with  which  to  provide 
it.  The  Committee  are  willing  to  give  their 
time  for  constructive  thought  and  careful 
planning,  and  for  the  establishment  of  con- 
tacts and  the  accomplishment  of  work,  but 
they  feel  that  they  should  be  relieved  of  the 
need  for  doing  themselves  those  mechanical 
processes  which  might  be  taken  care  of  at 
the  expenditure  of  a  small  amount  of  money. 
Respectfully  submitted,

FINANCIAL  REPORTS,  1921-22 


FINANCE  COMMITTEE 

In  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  Sec- 
tion 15  of  the  Constitution  as  adopted  in  1921, 
your  Finance  Committee  submits  the  follow- 
ing report: 

The  probable  income  of  the  Association  for 
1922  from  its  various  funds  has  been  estimated 
by  the  Committee  and  the  Executive  Board 
has  made  appropriations  within  these  amounts. 
These  budgets  setting  forth  the  incomes  as 
estimated,  have  been  printed  in  the  Bulletin 
for  January  (pp.  20-21)  and  it  is,  therefore, 
unnecessary  to  report  their  details  herewith. 

The  Committee  thought  it  desirable  to  con- 
tinue the  practice  instituted  last  year  of  having 
the  various  accounts  of  the  Association  audit- 
ed by  a  certified  public  accountant  instead  of 
by  the  members  of  the  Committee,  and  again 
engaged  for  this  work  the  firm  of  Marwick, 
Mitchell  &  Company.  This  firm  has,  under 
the  Committee's  instructions,  audited  the  fol- 
lowing funds  of  the  Association  for  the  year 
1921: 

American  Library  Association  General 
Funds. 

James  L.  Whitney  Fund. 

American  Library  Association  Publishing 
Funds. 

American  Library  Association  War  Funds. 

American  Library  Association  Books  for 
Everybody  Fund. 

The  disbursements  made  from  these  various 
funds  were  verified  by  reference  to  the  sup- 
porting vouchers  and  cancelled  checks,  and 
the  various  cash  balances  and  securities  held 
by  the  Association,  deposited  in  bank,  or  in 
the  hands  of  the  Trustees  of  the  Endowment 
Fund,  were  also  found  to  agree  with  the  bal- 
ances reported  by  the  Treasurer  of  the  Asso- 
ciation and  by  the  Trustees. 

The  afore-mentioned  audits  have  been  ex- 
amined and  approved  by  the  Finance  Com- 
mittee and  will  be  laid  before  the  Executive 
Board  at  its  next  meeting  with  the  recom- 
mendation that  they  be  adopted  by  that  body, 
according  to  the  practice  of  recent  years. 


The  securities  in  the  custody  of  the  Trus- 
tees of  the  Endowment  Funds  have  been  ex- 
amined as  hereinbefore  intimated,  and  checked 
by  the  certified  public  accountant,  and  the 
Committee  finds  that  this  audit  agrees  with 
the  annual  report  of  the  Trustees  for  the 
period  of  January  15  to  December  31,  1921. 

The   accounts   of    the   James    L.    Whitney 
Fund,  which  are  in  the  hands  of  the  Treasur- 
er, have  been  examined  and  found  to  be  as 
stated  by  him  in  his  annual  report. 
Respectfully   submitted, 
GEORGE   B.   UTLEY,   Chairman.

TRUSTEES    OF   THE   ENDOWMENT 
FUND 

The  Trustees  of  the  Endowment  Fund  beg 
leave  to  submit  the  following  statement  of  the 
account  of  their  trust  for  the  period  from 
January  15,  1921,  to  December  31,  1921.  The 
fiscal  year  heretofore  adopted  by  the  Trustees 
has  been  from  January  15th  to  the  following 
January  15th,  but  at  the  request  of  the  Sec- 
retary of  the  American  Library  Association 
we  have  changed  our  fiscal  year  to  the  calen- 
dar year,  which  has  been  adopted  to  conform 
to  the  reports  of  the  Association. 

In  April,  1921,  we  suffered  a  great  loss  in 
the  death  of  M.  Taylor  Pyne,  who  for 
several  years  had  been  associated  with  us. 
By  election  of  the  Association,  J.  Ran- 
dolph Coolidge,  jr.,  of  Boston,  succeeded 
Mr.  Pyne. 

During  the  past  year  we  have  received  from 
the  Treasurer  of  the  Association  the  sum 
of  $19,447.21  in  cash,  and  Liberty  Bonds  to 
the  amount  of  $1,000.  The  cash  has  been  in- 
vested in  Liberty  Bonds  of  the  second  and 
fourth  issues,  which  the  Trustees  felt  was  for 
the  best  interests  of  the  trust  fund. 

One  bond  of  the  United  States  Steel  Cor- 
poration was  paid  May  1,  1921,  and  this 
amount,  together  with  the  premium  of  $100,

was  invested  in   Liberty  Bonds.     All  of  the 

above  investments  were  to  the  credit  of  the 
Endowment  Fund. 

The  Trustees  have  made  no  change  in  in- 
vestments during  the  past  year. 

The   usual    audit   of    the   investments  and 

accounts    of    the    fund    was    made   by  the 


Messrs.    Marwick,    Mitchell   &   Co.,   certified 

public  accountants.    Respectfully  submitted,

AMERICAN  LIBRARY  ASSOCIATION 

Organized  Oct.  6,  1876;  Incorporated  Dec.  10,  1879 

The  American  Library  Association  is  an  organization  of  librarians,  library  trustees 
and  others  interested  in  libraries.  It  was  founded  in  1876  as  the  immediate  result  of  a 
three  days'  conference  held  in  connection  with  the  Centennial  exhibition. 

Its  Purpose 

To  foster  the  development  of  libraries  and  promote  the  use  of  books. 

To  give  through  its  Headquarters  and  committees  advisory  assistance  to  all  who 
are  interested  in  library  establishment,  extension  and  development. 

To  maintain  an  Employment  Bureau  which  will  serve  librarians  seeking  positions, 
and  libraries  which  need  librarians  and  assistants. 

To  attract  promising  young  men  and  women  who  have  the  necessary  personal  and 
educational  qualifications,  to  library  work  as  a  profession. 

To  hold  conferences  for  the  discussion  of  library  topics,  and  to  publish  the  confer- 
ence Papers  and  proceedings  for  members  of  the  Association. 

To  publish  books,  periodicals  and  pamphlets  which  will  aid  in  the  establishment  of 
libraries,  and  which  will  aid  trustees  and  librarians  in  rendering  library  service. 

To  raise  the  professional  standards,  dignify  library  service,  and  improve  library 
salaries.  i 

To  assist  in  making  books  a  vital,  working,  educational  force  in  American  life,  and 
in  making  libraries  easily  accessible  to  all  the  people. 

Headquarters  Office 

The  executive  and  publishing  offices  of  the  Association  are  at  78  East  Washington 
Street,  Chicago,  on  the  second  floor  of  the  Chicago  Public  Library  building.  Members 
visiting  Chicago  may  have  their  mail  sent  to  this  address  and  are  cordially  invited  to 
use  the  office  as  headquarters. 

Change  of  Address 

Any  change  of  address  or  position  should  be  reported  promptly  to  the  Headquarters 
Office. 

Membership  and  Dues

ENDOWMENT  FUNDS 


Following  the  meeting  of  1890  and 
through  the  efforts  of  the  Trustees  Section 
to  collect  a  permanent  fund  "for  publish- 
ing the  proceedings  of  the  association," 
the  Endowment  Fund  (see  sec.  25  of  Con- 
stitution) was  established.  It  amounted 
to  $30,667.80  January  1,  1922. 

The  Carnegie  Endowment  Fund  was 
created  in  1902  by  a  gift  of  $100,000  from 
Andrew  Carnegie.  The  income  is  used 
"for  the  preparation  and  publication  of 
reading  lists,  indexes  and  other  biblio- 
graphical aids"  which  are  thought  to  be 
"specially  useful  in  the  circulating  li- 
braries." 

The  James  L.  Whitney  Fund  amounted 
to  $664.21  January  1,  1922.  It  is  being 


increased  slowly  by  the  terms  of  the  will 
and  the  interest  is  being  added  to  the 
principal.  It  is  hoped  that  the  fund  may 
increase  so  that  it  will  eventually  yield  an 
income  which  will  be  of  some  slight  as- 
sistance in  the  preparation  of  bibliographi- 
cal aids  for  research  workers. 

Special  mention  should  be  made  of  the 
benefactions  of  George  lies  in  financing 
several  publications  which  the  Association 
would  not  have  been  able  to  have  pub- 
lished without  such  financial  aid. 

Full  information  as  to  the  investment 
and  condition  of  these  funds  will  be  found 
in  the  reports  of  the  Trustees  as  printed 
each  year.

plied to  the  preparation  and  publication  of

READING  COURSES 

To  enable  even  the  least  experienced  assistant  in 
library  or  book  store  to  give  good  advice,  we  have 
begun  the  publication  of  a  series  of  reading 
courses.  Each  is  prepared  by  a  specialist.  The 
courses  are  short,  limited  usually  to  six  or  eight 
pages.  They  are  attractively  printed,  each  with 
its  own  cover  design.

SECTIONS  OF  THE  ASSOCIATION 


By  means  of  a  system  of  sections  the 
practical  usefulness  of  the  A.  L.  A.  meet- 
ings has  been  considerably  enlarged.  The 
section  meetings,  while  open  to  all,  pro- 
vide especially  for  the  needs  of  each  class 
of  workers,  and  afford  more  opportunity 
for  the  discussion  of  details.  The  general, 
or  undivided,  sessions  are  thus  left  free 
for  subjects  of  general  interest  and  the 
consideration  of  routine  matter  concern- 
ing the  entire  association. 

Eight  of  these  sections  maintain  a  for- 
mal organization  from  year  to  year,  and 
take  under  consideration  questions  relat- 
ing more  particularly  to  their  own  prov- 
ince. They  are  as  follows: 

COLLEGE    AND    REFERENCE 
SECTION 

which  dates  from  a  first  meeting  of  the 
college  librarians  held  in  1889.  Since  then, 
meetings  have  been  held  regularly. 

The  members  of  the  committee  on  ar- 
rangements are:  Chairman,  W.  E.  Henry, 
University  of  Washington  Library,  Seattle 
(term  expires  1923);  E.  D.  Tweedell,  The 
John  Crerar  Library,  Chicago,  111.,  (term 
expires  1924) ;  Willard  Austen,  Cornell 
University  Library,  Ithaca,  N.  Y.,  (term 
expires  1925). 

TRUSTEES  SECTION 

has  had  a  permanent  organization  since 
the  meeting  of  1890. 

More  boards  of  trustees  are  each  year 
recognizing  the  practical  value  of  having 
their  librarians  attend  the  meetings  al- 
lowing them  not  only  the  time,  but  also 
necessary  expenses  in  many  cases.  Equal- 
ly significant  is  the  increasing  number  of 
trustees  who  find  that  it  pays  to  attend 
the  A.  L.  A.  meetings  each  year.  By  com- 
paring views,  and  advising  with  each  other 
on  their  peculiar  duties,  mutual  aid  is  ren- 
dered toward  the  efficient  discharge  of  the 
public  trust  committed  to  them.  Some  of 
the  meetings  of  trustees  are  held  jointly 
with  the  librarians  interested  in  supervi- 
sory problems;  others  with  trustees  only 


present;  thus  favoring  the  joint  and  sep- 
arate discussion  of  salaries,  laws,  vaca- 
tions, rules  for  the  staff,  and  other  ques- 
tions in  which  librarians  have  a  personal 
interest  that  modifies  their  judgment. 

Officers  for  1922-23  are:  President,  Mrs. 
Elizabeth  Claypool  Earl,  Muncie,  Ind.; 
vice-president,  W.  L.  Jenks,  Port  Huron, 
Mich.;  secretary,  Mrs.  Dwight  Peterson, 
14  The  Lincoln  Apartment,  Toledo,  Ohio. 

CATALOG   SECTION 

was  established  by  action  of  the  Council 
in  1900  and  has  met  at  each  conference 
since  the  Waukesha  meeting  in  1901,  ex- 
cepting at  St.  Louis  in  1904,  when  no  sec- 
tion meetings  were  held. 

At  the  Mackinac  Island  conference 
(1910)  the  Catalog  Section  completed  its 
organization  by  the  adoption  of  a  consti- 
tution and  by-laws. 

Officers  for  1922-23  are:  Chairman, 
Helen  B.  Sutliff,  Stanford  University  Li- 
brary, Stanford  University,  Calif.;  secre- 
tary, Ruth  Wallace,  Public  Library,  Indi- 
anapolis, Ind. 

CHILDREN'S  LIBRARIANS  SECTION 

At  the  Montreal  conference  in  1900  an 
informal  meeting  was  held  for  the  purpose 
of  personal  acquaintance  and  co-operation 
among  those  actively  engaged  in  library 
work  with  children.  As  a  result  of  this 
meeting  the  Club  of  Children's  Librarians 
was  formed,  and,  in  recognition  of  this 
movement  for  closer  organization  and 
wider  discussion  in  this  field  than  was 
afforded  at  the  general  sessions  of  the  A. 
L.  A.,  the  Executive  Board,  in  November, 
1900,  established  this  section,  which  held 
its  first  meeting  at  Waukesha  in  1901. 

Officers  for  1922-23  are:  Chairman,  Elva 
S.  Smith,  Carnegie  Library,  Pittsburgh, 
Pa.;  vice-chairman,  Delia  McGregor,  Pub- 
lic Library,  St.  Paul,  Minn.;  secretary, 
Avis  Meigs,  Edison  Junior  High  School 
Library,  Long  Beach,  Calif.;  treasurer, 
Grace  L.  Aldrich,  Public  Library,  Madi- 
son, Wis.

normal  school  librarians,  then  holding 
round  table  meetings,  made  a  formal  peti-

ing was  held  at  the  Berkeley  conference.

information  regarding  libraries  in  ele- 
mentary, secondary  and  normal  schools,

brarians. Its  purpose  is  to  discuss  meth- 
od's, formulate  policies,  establish  stand- 
ards and  maintain  relations  with  the  Li- 
brary Department  of  the  N.  E.  A.  and

compiler  has  spent  uncounted  hours  proof 
reading,  and  indexing  the  nearly  two  hun- 
dred fifty  closely  printed  pages.  This  might 
have  been  called  the  fourth  edition  of 
Kroeger's  Guide,  but  the  new  title-page  has 
been  prepared  with  a  view  to  giving  full 
credit  to  the  present  as  well  as  to  the  original 
compiler.  The  book  has  been  thoroughly  re- 
vised.

in  the  series  of  reading  courses  issued  for  free 
distribution  by  libraries  to  serious  readers. 
It  prescribes  approximately  forty  books.  The 
subjects  and  the  titles  were  chosen  largely  on 


the  recommendations  of  the  commercial  de- 
partments of  the  leading  universities.  The 
editor  is  librarian  of  the  Business  Branch  of 
the  Indianapolis  Public  Library.  This  course 
will  appeal  to  the  man  or  woman  who  is 
attracted  by  correspondence  courses  on  busi- 
ness. The  titles  are  printed  as  marginal 
notes,  an  arrangement  which  gives  due  prom- 
inence to  the  books  and  at  the  same  time  per- 
mits the  presentation  of  the  text  in  readable 
form.

THE  NEXT  ANNUAL  CONFERENCE,   1923 


The  45th  Annual  Conference  of  the  Ameri- 
can Library  Association  will  be  held  in  Hot 
Springs,  Arkansas,  April  23  to  28,  1923.  The 
Eastman  Hotel  will  be  headquarters,  and  the 
meetings  will  be  held  in  this  hotel  and  in 
other  buildings  nearby.  General  sessions  will 
be  held  in  a  theatre  which  is  a  short  block 
from  the  Eastman  Hotel. 

The  Eastman  Hotel  can  accommodate 
seven  or  eight  hundred  librarians,  as  all,  or 
nearly  all  other  guests  will  have  departed 
before  our  conference  begins.  (The  hotel 
closes  on  May  1st.)  The  Arlington,  about 
three  blocks  away,  is  under  the  same  man- 
agement as  the  Eastman,  and  will  be  able  to 
take  care  of  perhaps  two  or  three  hundred 
delegates.  Other  hotels  are  available  within 
easy  walking  distance  of  the  Eastman — sev- 
eral within  two  or  three  blocks. 


The  Eastman,  Arlington  and  most  of  the 
other  hotels  are  operated  on  the  European 
plan.  Rates  will  be  attractive,  and  meals 
served  in  the  hotel  or  in  restaurants  nearby 
will  be  at  reasonable  prices. 

Hot  Springs  is  reached  by  way  of  Memphis 
and  St.  Louis  from  the  east,  southeast  and 
northeast;  by  way  of  Kansas  City  from  the 
northwest;  by  way  of  Oklahoma  City  from 
the  west;  and  there  are  direct  lines  from 
south  and  southwestern  points. 

The  Hot  Springs  National  Park  in  which 
the  city  is  situated  is  an  attractive  place  at 
any  time  of  the  year.  It  is  said  to  be  par- 
ticularly attractive  about  the  time  that  our 
meeting  is  scheduled.  The  Eastman  Hotel  has 
large  lobbies,  spacious  verandas  and  a  beau- 
tiful lawn.  Although  it  is  situated  in  the 


A8 


AMERICAN  LIBRARY  ASSOCIATION 


heart  of  Hot  Springs,  it  is  distinctly  a  resort 
hotel  and  will  appeal  to  many  people  who  dis- 
like a  city  conference. 


Further  announcements  will  be  made  in 
the  January  Bulletin.  No  reservations  will 
be  accepted  by  the  hotel  until  February  1. 


A.  L.  A.  EXECUTIVE  BOARD  ACTION 


The  following  is  a  brief  summary  of  some 
of  the  important  business  transacted  by  the 
Executive  Board  at  its  Detroit  meeting  and 
by  correspondence  since  that  time: 

June  26.  It  was  decided  that  the 
James  L.  Whitney  Fund  is  an  endowment 
fund,  and  the  treasurer  was  asked  to  trans- 
fer the  money  to  the  trustees  of  the  endow- 
ment fund,  with  instructions  to  allow  the 
interest  to  accumulate  until  the  Executive 
Board  calls  for  it. 

On  the  recommendation  of  the  Finance 
Committee  the  following  audits  made  by  Mar- 
wick,  Mitchell  &  Company  were  formally  ap- 
proved :  General  Funds,  James  L.  Whitney 
Fund,  Publishing  Funds,  War  Funds,  Books 
for  Everybody  Fund. 

J.  I.  Wyer  was  called  in  to  report  on 
a  friendly  suit  brought  by  the  attorneys  for 
United  War  Campaign,  Inc.,  against  the  sev- 
eral welfare  organizations.  Dr.  Wyer  stated 
that  George  W.  Martin,  of  Emmet,  Marvin 
and  Roosevelt,  had  been  asked  (with  the  ap- 
proval of  President  Root)  to  ''represent  the 
American  Library  Association.  The  Board 
approved  Dr.  Wyer's  action. 

The  Executive  Board  had  received  at  a 
previous  meeting  a  request  of  the  Children's 
Librarians  Section,  that  the  American  Library 
Association  provide  if  possible,  from  its  War 
Service  Funds,  a  sum  of  money  sufficient 
to  establish  a  children's  room  in  the  Ameri- 
can Library  in  Paris.  "The  Board  gave  sym- 
pathetic consideration  to  this  request,  but  felt 
compelled  to  refrain  from  taking  action  there- 
on. When  the  appropriation  of  $25,000  was 
made  from  the  War  Service  Funds  to  the 
endowment  of  the  Paris  Library,  the  Board 
definitely  and  distinctly  agreed  that  this  sum 
was  all  that  could  with  propriety  be  appro- 
priated to  the  institution  from  the  War  Serv- 
ice Funds  and  that,  therefore,  that  grant 
would  necessarily  be  the  final  one  to  the 
Paris  Library.  Surely  nothing  could  be  a 
finer  library  act  or  a  worthier  contribution 
than  the  establishment  of  a  children's  library 


in  Paris,  but  the  Board  does  not  feel  that 
this  is  a  war  service  undertaking  and  that 
it  can  therefore  be  legitimately  financed  with 
War  Service  Funds." 

The  secretary  was  instructed  to  carry  out 
the  suggestions  of  the  Committee  on  Munici- 
pal Obligations  to  Donors,  as  printed  in  the 
Annual  Reports  of  1922,  page  35,  with  the 
understanding  however  that  no  list  of  de- 
linquents should  be  published  without  further 
instruction  from  the  Board. 

July  1.  It  was  determined  by  lot  that 
Mr.  Hadley  should  serve  for  one  year  suc- 
ceeding Miss  Mann,  who  had  been  appointed 
at  the  Swampscott  conference. 

Julia  Ideson  of  Houston,  Texas,  was 
appointed  to  fill  the  vacancy  on  the  Execu- 
tive Board  created  by  the  election  of  Mr. 
Utley  to  the  presidency.  The  appointment 
was  made  for  one  year. 

Carl  B.  Roden,  Harrison  W.  Craver,  and 
Louise  B.  Krause,  were  appointed  as  the 
Finance  Committee,  for  1922-23. 

E.  C.  Richardson  was  asked  to  attend 
certain  meetings  in  Europe  during  the  sum- 
mer as  a  representative  of  the  A.L.A. 

The  secretary  was  instructed  to  co-operate 
with  the  Library  of  Congress  in  providing 
an  exhibit  for  the  Brazil  Centennial  Expo- 
sition. 

The  president  was  authorized  to  appoint  a 
Ways  and  Means  Committee  "to  consider  and 
propose  to  the  Executive  Board  from  time 
to  time  suggestions  for  increasing  the  income 
and  endowment  of  the  American  Library  As- 
sociation." 

A  further  appropriation  of  $6,000.00  from 
the  War  Funds  was  made  to  the  Navy  for 
the  year  ending  June  30,  1923,  for  navy  library 
service.  The  secretary  was  instructed  to  in- 
form the  Navy  that  the  Executive  Board 
cannot  continue  such  appropriations  after  this 
year. 

By  correspondence  the  Executive  Board 
voted  that  the  annual  conference  should  be 
held  in  Hot  Springs,  Arkansas,  the  last  week

SEVERAL  hundred  of  the  more  than  1800 
persons  who  attended  the  Detroit  con- 
ference were  new  members.  Only  a  few  score 
may  be  expected  to  step  in  and  take  the  places 
of  these  new  members  at  the  1923  conference 
in  Hot  Springs ;  for  there  are  fewer  librarians 
in  the  whole  state  of  Arkansas  than  in  half 
a  dozen  cities  that  were  within  a  few  hours 
ride  of  Detroit.  The  chairman  of  the  mem- 
bership committee  is  a  southern  woman,  Miss 
Ideson  of  Houston,  and  she  may  be  counted 
upon  to  rally  every  possible  library  assistant 
and  trustee,  for  attendance  at  the  conference 
and  for  membership  in  the  A.  L.  A.;  but  she 
must  have  every  member's  help  if  she  is  to 
make  even  a  fair  showing  under  adverse  cir- 
cumstances. Will  not  all  of  those  who  have 
joined  for  the  first  time  in  1922  renew  again 
for  1923 — not  for  the  sake  of  numbers,  not 
primarily  for  what  they  will  get  out  of  it, 
but  through  a  sense  of  duty  to  the  profession  ? 
Will  not  librarians  of  large  libraries  make  a 
special  effort  to  persuade  the  members  of 


their  staffs  and  their  trustees  that  they  ought 
to  continue — or  to  join  if  they  are  not  already 
members  ? 

THAT  the  Story  of  mankind,  by  Hendrik 
Van  Loon,  was  the  most  important  book 
published  in  1921,  is  the  verdict  of  members 
of  the  Children's  Librarians  Section  of  the 
American  Library  Association.  Out  of  two 
hundred  and  twelve  ballots  received  by  the 
chairman  of  that  section,  one  hundred  and 
sixty-three  were  for  this  book;  and  no  other 
book  received  more  than  twenty-two  votes. 
In  accordance  with  this  vote,  the  Children's 
Librarians  Section  at  Detroit,  awarded  the 
John  Newbery  Medal  to  Mr.  Van  Loon.  The 
medal  was  awarded  and  presumably  will  be 
awarded  annually  in  the  future,  not  by  the 
American  Library  Association,  but  by  the 
Children's  Librarians  Section  of  the  A.L.A., 
thus  representing  the  library  specialists  in 
this  field.  The  medal  is  the  gift  of  Frederic 
G.  Melcher. 

THE  Papers  and  Proceedings  of  the  De- 
troit Conference  will  probably  reach 
members  who  have  paid  the  $4.00  member- 
ship dues  in  1922  a  few  days  after  this 
November  Bulletin.  Other  members  may  ob- 
tain copies  at  $1.25.  The  price  to  non-mem- 
bers is  $2.00.  The  Proceedings  for  the  con- 
ference of  1921  were  cut  down  to  168  pages. 
This  year  the  committee  reports  and  nearly  all 
papers  (most  of  them  abstracted)  are  in- 
cluded, with  the  result  that  the  volume  will 
have  about  400  pages.  There  have  been 
some  important  changes  in  arrangement  this 
year.  The  proceedings  of  the  general  ses- 
sions come  first;  followed  by  addresses  and 
papers  presented  at  those  sessions.  Council 
proceedings  come  next;  then  the  annual  re- 
ports. After  those  the  proceedings  of  sec- 
tions and  round  table  groups  are  arranged 
alphabetically,  the  papers  being  incorporated 
in  the  report,  thus  keeping  a  paper  and  its 


BULLETIN 


All 


discussion  together.  In  the  future  it  is  planned 
to  offer  a  definite  amount  of  space  to  each 
group  and  to  make  the  secretary  of  that  group 
responsible  for  editing  and  abstracting  the 
papers  to  be  included.  Many  of  the  papers 
are  highly  technical  in  character  and  can  be 
intelligently  abstracted  only  by  some  one 
who  is  trained  in  that  special  field. 

THE  A.L.A.  Handbook  is  in  the  printer's

time   in   December.     Copies   will  be  sent  to 
members  who  have  paid  the  $4.00  dues  for 
1922.    The  price  is  75c  per  copy  to  others. 

THE  American  Library  Association  has 
been  represented  by  the  President,  sec- 
retary or  assistant  secretary  at  the  following 
meetings  during  the  last  few  months:  A.L.A. 
regional  conference  at  St.  Joseph,  Missouri 
(called  by  state  library  associations  of  Kan- 
sas, Missouri  and  Nebraska) ;  Southeastern 
library  meeting  at  Chattanooga ;  Illinois  State 
Library  Association,  Chicago;  Ohio  State  Li- 
brary Association,  Van  Wert;  Pennsylvania 
State  Library  Association,  Altoona;  Wiscon- 
sin State  Library  Association,  Madison; 
American  Legion  Women's  Auxiliary,  New 
Orleans ;  American  Prison  Association,  De- 
troit. 

RUSSIAN  librarians  have  appealed  for 
help  to  American  librarians  through  the 
A.L.A.  A  letter  from  the  American  Relief 
Administration  says  this  kind  of  appeal  comes 
"from  all  classes  of  intellectuals  in  Russia. 
They  are  hungry  .  .  .  and  we  believe  that 
economic  conditions  will  not  materially  im- 
prove for  them  for  a  long  time.  .  .  .  Various 
groups  in  this  country  have  already  sent  re- 
lief to  similar  groups  in  Russia";  and  the 
hope  is  expressed  that  the  librarians  of  Amer- 
ica will  help  the  Russian  librarians.  It  is  sug- 
gested that  every  library  staff  collect  from 
its  own  members  and  perhaps  from  the  li- 


brary trustees,  a  dollar,  a  half  dollar,  or  a 
quarter  each,  for  this  cause.  Checks  should 
be  made  payable  to  Edward  D.  Tweedell, 
treasurer,  and  sent  to  A.L.A.  Headquarters. 
The  money  will  then  be  forwarded  through 
the  Hoover  organization,  the  American  Re- 
lief Administration. 

THE  time  seems  to  be  rapidly  approach- 
ing when  every  week  of  the  year  will 
be  devoted  to  some  "movement"  or  propagan- 
da. Children's  Book  Week  probably  gets 
more  consideration  from  libraries  than  any 
of  the  other  weeks,  but  all  of  these  occasions 
offer  opportunities  to  the  librarian  and  trus- 
tee to  bring  his  institution  and  its  service  to 
the  attention  of  new  groups. 

A  MERICAN  Education  Week  which  will 
JL\.  be  observed  from  December  3  to  9,  1922, 
is  a  ready  made  occasion  for  emphasizing  the 
distinctly  educational  service  of  libraries.  The 
separate  slogans  and  topics  for  each  of  the 
seven  days  will  make  it  possible  for  the  li- 
brary to  write  two  or  three  short  appropriate 
newspaper  articles  each  day.  Short  lists  of 
books  printed  in  the  newspapers  or  distributed 
in  leaflet  form  will  be  in  order.  Special  let- 
ters might  well  be  sent  to  the  ministers  and 
others  who  are  to  speak  on  Sunday,  Decem- 
ber 3,  asking  them  to  mention  in  their  talks 
the  library  as  an  agency  for  Americaniza- 
tion, citizenship  and  education.  A  reception 
to  foreign-born  groups  might  be  held  on  Mon- 
day which  is  citizenship  day.  An  exhibit  of 
flags  borrowed  from  individuals  and  organi- 
zations in  the  community  would  be  appro- 
priate on  Tuesday  which  is  patriotism  day. 
Wednesday  is  school  and  teacher  day,  an  ap- 
propriate occasion  for  sending  communica- 
tions to  the  teachers  about  the  importance  of 
training  children  to  use  libraries.  The  Na- 
tional Education  Association,  1201  16th  St., 
N.  W.,  Washington,  D.  C,  and  the  U.  S. 
Bureau  of  Education  are  supplying  printed

suggestions.  The  superintendent  of  schools 
and  the  officers  of  the  local  American  Legion 
Chapter,  may  be  a'ssumed  to  be  interested. 

NATIONAL  Thrift  Week  is  scheduled 
for  January  17  to  23.  It  will  be  noted 
that  the  celebration  or  observance  of  this  week 
begins  on  the  anniversary  of  Benjamin  Frank- 
lin's birthday  and  it  will  be  recalled  by  those 
who  attended  the  Detroit  meeting,  that  the  as- 
sociation adopted  the  following  resolution: 
"That  this  association  joins  in  the  effort  of 
other  organizations  for  a  nation-wide  recog- 
nition of  the  birthday  of  Benjamin  Franklin, 
January  17  of  each  year,  though  no  public 
holiday  is  desirable,  and  recommends  that 
the  two  hundredth  anniversary  of  the  begin- 
ning of  his  career  as  a  publisher  be  given 
special  attention  in  1923."  For  the  special 
use  of  libraries  during  Thrift  Week  the 
A.L.A.  is  issuing  about  December  1  a  new 
edition  of  its  little  reading  list,  Books  and 
Thrift.  The  list  is  being  printed  this  year 
without  the  name  of  the  compiler,  Ruth  G. 
Nichols  of  the  Chicago  Federal  Reserve 
Bank,  because  some  banks  objected  last  year 


to  the  distribution  of  a  list  carrying  the  name 
of  another  bank.  In  this  connection  attention 
is  called  to  the  letter  in  this  Bulletin  from 
the  president  of  the  American  Bankers'  Asso- 
ciation. It  may  be  assumed  that  bankers  will 
be  especially  willing  to  distribute  copies  of  a 
list  of  books  on  thrift.  The  address  of  the 
National  Thrift  Committee  is  347  Madison 
Ave.,  New  York  City. 

NATIONAL  Drama  Week,  sponsored  by 
the  Drama  League  of  America,  is  sched- 
uled for  January  21-26  inclusive.  Tuesday, 
January  23,  is  set  aside  as  library  day.  Some 
of  the  slogans  for  the  day  are  "Drama  books 
in  every  library,"  "Read  a  play  before  you 
see  it,"  "Special  drama  shelves  in  every  li- 
brary," "Talks  on  drama  in  the  libraries  and 
bookstores,"  "Drama  bulletin  boards  in  every 
library  and  book  shop."  Every  librarian  will 
think  of  ways  of  capitalizing  this  week  for 
the  library,  and  of  making  the  library  con- 
tribute to  the  cause  of  better  plays.  Write 
to  Drama  League  of  America,  59  E.  Van 
Buren  St.,  Chicago,  for  information  and  sug- 
gestions. 


FACTS  FOR  TRUSTEES 


AN  enterprising  life  insurance  man  has 
been  trying  to  sell  to  a  library  board 
group  life  insurance  for  the  library  staff.  The 
library  board  in  question  is  interested  to 
know  whether  any  other  board  has  studied 
this  question  and  reached  a  conclusion.  The 
Secretary  of  the  A.L.A.  will  be  glad  to  re- 
ceive communications  on  the  subject. 

IN  many  libraries  more  than  50%  of  the 
annual  income  is  paid  out  for  salaries. 
For  this  reason  and  for  many  other  reasons 
salary  statistics  are  always  interesting  to  trus- 
tees. The  tables  which  are  printed  in  this 
Bulletin  were  compiled  by  the  Salaries  Com- 
mittee of  the  A.L.A.  The  Committee  expects 
to  furnish  salary  statistics  for  libraries  of 
other  sizes  and  kinds  from  time  to  time  for 
publication  in  the  Bulletin.  Trustees  inter- 


ested in  these  reports  are  asked  to  communi- 
cate with  the  chairman  of  the  Committee  or 
with  A.L.A.  Headquarters  if  the  facts  they 
need  are  not  available  in  the  statistics  printed. 

DR.  GEORGE  T.  ETTINGER,  dean  of 
Muhlenberg  College  and  trustee  of  the 
Allentown  Free  Library,  speaking  before  the 
Pennsylvania    State    Library    Association    at 
Altoona  in  October  said,  in  part: 

"As  long  as  communities  spend  for  library 
purposes  from  twenty-one  cents  a  year  for 
each  citizen,  as  does  my  native  city  of  Allen- 
town,  to  one  dollar  and  four  cents  per  capita, 
as  does  the  community  of  Warren,  or  an 
average  of  thirty-nine  cents  per  capita  a  year 
for  each  citizen  in  the  twenty  communities 
from  which  these  figures  have  been  received. 


BULLETIN

we  can  hardly  say  that  any  of  our  libraries 
are  receiving  extravagant  support. 

"The  average  citizen  is  willing  to  spend 
thousands  of  dollars  a  year  for  paving,  light- 
ing and  police  protection,  while  he  utterly 
fails  to  see  the  value  or  the  necessity  of  a 
public  library.  And  yet  the  public  library 
may  smooth  the  road  of  life  for  real  success 
and  usefulness  much  more  effectively  than 
the  paved  streets  of  your  city.  The  church, 
the  school,  the  library  and  the  press  constitute 
the  great  quadruple  alliance  for  the  spread  of 
intelligence  among  men. 

"If,  then,  the  library  in  most  cities  is  a 
neglected  asset,  can  the  library  idea  be  sold? 
The  library  idea  can  most  certainly  be  sold, 
if  by  this  we  mean  that  with  proper  efforts, 


communities  can  be  induced  to  establish  and 
maintain  libraries  and  individuals  can  be  in- 
duced to  patronize  them.  But  to  do  this  we 
must  follow  the  principles  underlying  the 
psychology  of  salesmanship.  In  order  to  get 
people  to  buy  his  wares  the  salesman  must 
be  enthusiastic,  must  know  the  virtues  of 
his  wares,  the  nature  of  his  customers  and 
often  must  even  talk  them  into  buying.  If 
the  community  has  no  library,  someone  must 
see  and  appreciate  the  need  and  must  simply 
continue  to  stir  up  public  sentiment  until 
enough  of  a  demand  has  been  created  so  that 
a  library  is  established,  whether  by  private 
means  or  by  public  support  and  effort.  In 
selling  the  library  idea  trustees  can  and  ought 
to  be  of  great  help." 


SALARY    STATISTICS 

LARGE   PUBLIC  LIBRARIES 


In  collecting  salary  statistics  as  shown  in 
the  table  on  the  following  pages,  librarians 
were  requested  to  give  actual  minimum  and 
maximum  salaries  paid  at  the  time  under 
positions  specified.  It  should  be  noted  that  in 
a  number  of  libraries  on  this  list  salary  sched- 
ules have  been  adopted  which  provide  for 
maximum  salaries  above  those  shown  here. 
Maximums  in  these  libraries  have  not  as  yet 
been  reached  but  will  be  as  increases  are  made 
according  to  schedules.  All  positions  listed, 
with  the  exception  of  junior  assistants,  are 
presumably  for  employees  with  library  train- 
ing or  sufficient  years  of  experience  as  an 
equivalent.  In  such  a  comparison  of  salaries 
necessarily  there  are  certain  inconsistencies 
due  to  varying  requirements  in  different  li- 
braries. In  the  questionnaire  sent  to  librarians 
an  attempt  was  made  so  to  define  positions 
that  comparisons  might  be  approximately 
correct. 

Librarians  when  making  use  of  the  salary 
statistics  given  here  should  carefully  take  note 
of  the  definitions  of  the  following  positions, 
such  definitions  having  been  used  in  the  ques- 
tionnaire sent  out : 

Children's  Librarians:  Only  those  should 
be  included  as  children's  librarians  who  have 
had  special  training  or  sufficient  experience  to 
qualify  them  for  this  classification.  Usually 
limited  to  those  in  charge  of  children's  rooms 


or  of  children's  work  in  extension  depart- 
ments. 

Catalogers:  Under  this  head  should  be  in- 
cluded only  those  fitted  for  and  actually  do- 
ing expert  cataloging  and  not  including  typ- 
ists or  others  doing  clerical  or  routine  work 
in  the  catalog  department. 

Library  assistants:  A  minimum  of  six 
months  training  or  such  a  number  of  years 
successful  experience  as  actually  would  be 
equal  to  such  training.  This  would  not  mean 
that  all  assistants  without  training  but  with 
a  number  of  years  experience  should  be  in- 
cluded in  this  class.  Only  those  holding  po- 
sitions of  equal  standing  and  importance  with 
those  having  had  training. 

Junior  Library  Assistants:  Sub-profes- 
sional. The  incumbents  of  this  grade  per- 
form under  supervision  prescribed  details  of 
simple  routine  library  work.  Many  have  had 
brief  elementary  training  or  have  qualified 
through  satisfactory  substitute  or  other  ex- 
perience for  this  class.  No  assistants  without 
high  school  preparation  should  be  included. 

Salary  statistics  have  also  been  collected 
for  a  group  of  medium  sized  public  libraries 
and  it  is  planned  to  print  these  soon  in  the 
Bulletin.  Salary  statistics  for  a  group  of 
university  and  college  libraries  are  being  com- 
piled by  Sidney  B.  Mitchell  of  the  Salaries 
Committee.  In  its  last  report  the  Salaries 
Committee  recommended  that  such  salary 
statistics  be  printed  annually  by  the  A.L.A. 
C.  H.  COMPTON,  Chairman.

AMERICAN  LIBRARY  ASSOCIATION 


CAN  THE  BANKER  HELP  THE  LIBRARIAN? 

By  J.  H.   PUELICHER,  President,  American   Bankers  Association. 


The  intelligence  test  which  accompanied 
the  draft  brought  a  shock  to  America.  Justly 
proud  of  her  fine  schools,  it  was  difficult  to 
understand  the  illiteracy  prevalent  among  her 
people.  It  aroused  many  to  serious  thought. 
It  made  many  feel  that  they  had  not  properly 
supported  our  systems  of  education.  The  ills 
of  America  were  largely  economic.  The  in- 
telligence test  showed  plainly  the  reason. 

The  teacher  and  the  banker  had  so  often 
co-operated,  the  teacher  on  the  platform  of 
bankers'  conventions  and  the  banker  in  serv- 
ice on  school  boards,  that  the  thought  fol- 
lowing this  revelation  was  a  natural  one — 
possibly  the  banker  could  further  aid  the 
teacher. 

The  Committee  on  Public  Education  of  the 
American  Bankers  Association  considered 
with  educators  the  feasibility  of  lectures  by 
the  banker  based  on  his  experience  in  the 
banking  and  economic  field.  Ten  lectures 
were  prepared  to  be  delivered  before  the  pu- 
pils of  the  seventh  and  eighth  grades  of  the 
grammar  school,  the  high  school,  the  college 
and  the  university. 

It  was  argued  that  the  bank  is  a  quasi- 
public  institution  supervised  by  bank  super- 
visors representing  the  public,  on  the  theory 
that  it  should  efficiently  serve  the  public.  That 
being  the  fact,  it  was  but  natural  that  the 
banker  should  be  pressed  into  any  additional 
service  where  knowledge  of  banks,  banking 
and  elementary  economics  was  concerned. 

Libraries,  like  schools,  are  public  institu- 
tions. If  the  service  of  the  bank  may  be 
beneficially  commanded  on  behalf  of  the 
schoolgoing  student,  it  should  likewise  be 
commanded,  if  there  are  possibilities  of  serv- 
ice on  behalf  of  the  adult  student.  This  seems 
altogether  possible  through  the  public  library, 
another  public  educational  institution. 

There  is  hardly  a  home  today  that  does 
not  send  one  or  more  of  its  members  with 
frequent  regularity  to  some  bank.  If  each 


month  short  lists  of  books  could  be  compiled 
by  the  librarian  and  left  with  the  bank,  the 
bank  might  distribute  these  among  its  de- 
positors. A  list  of  the  best  books  on  na- 
tional and  international  affairs  might  be 
placed  in  the  pass  book  of  the  advanced  busi- 
ness man.  A  list  of  books  concerning  modern 
accountancy,  business  law  and  practice  could 
be  placed  in  the  pass  book  of  the  accountant. 
A  list  of  books  dealing  with  composition  and 
letter  writing  might  be  handed  to  the 
stenographer  who  makes  the  deposit  for  her 
firm ;  and  at  the  savings  window,  where  all 
types  come  to  make  their  deposits,  lists  of 
books  on  literature  could  be  distributed.  At 
the  end  of  each  month  lists  of  miscellaneous 
books  might  be  enclosed  with  the  monthly 
statement. 

This  would  cost  the  bank  little  effort.  It 
would  simply  be  extending  one  step  further 
its  service  to  the  public.  The  slips  would  con- 
tain no  mention  of  the  bank.  They  would 
simply  be  a  portion  of  the  catalog  of  the 
public  library,  bearing  the  name  and  address 
of  the  library  and  its  branches. 

By  this  method  there  could  readily  be 
brought  to  the  attention  of  people  generally 
the  desirability  of  reading  good  books  and  the 
pleasure  and  profit  to  be  gained  from  read- 
ing good  books. 


It  is  hard  to  overestimate  the  value  to 
American  life  of  this  act  of  Franklin's  in 
instituting  the  subscription  library.  Other 
libraries  came  into  being  all  over  the  coun- 
try and  general  reading  became  quite  the 
fashion.  The  common  people,  who  in  many 
countries  were  ill-informed  if  not  actually  il- 
literate, were  in  America  well-read  and  widely 
informed  on  many  topics.  .  .  .  All  who  use 
libraries  must  ever  hold  Franklin's  name  in 
most  grateful  esteem. — Ward  Macauley  in 
the  Detroit  Saturday  Night  as  reprinted  in 
Publisher's  Weekly,  August  12,  1922.

TENTATIVE  RULES   FOR   CATALOGING 
INCUNABULA 

PROPOSED  BY  THE  A.  L.  A.  COMMITTEE  ON  CATALOGING 


The  Committee  on  Cataloging  invites  cor- 
respondence and  criticism  of  these  tentative 
rules.  Address  the  chairman,  W.  W.  Bishop, 
University  of  Michigan,  Ann  Arbor. 

1.  Entries  for  incunabula  which  have  al- 
ready been  adequately  described  in  a  catalog 
or  bibliography  are  to  contain  the  following 
items : 

1)  Statement,  consisting  of  author's  name, 
conventional  title,  and  imprint. 

2)  Collation,  consisting  of  pagination,  sig- 
natures,   folding   symbol    and   size   in    centi- 
meters. 

3)  Additional  authors,  editor,  translator. 

4)  Notes  on  scope,  contents,  etc. 

5)  References  to  bibliographies  giving  full 
description. 

6)  Notes  on  copy:  former  owners,  binding, 
marginal  ms.  notes,  rubrication,  details  about 
incompleteness,  etc. 

Notes 

1)  Statement:    If  a  book  is  known  by  a 
conventional   title,  although  this  title   is  not 
used  exactly  in  the  edition  in  hand,  the  con- 
ventional title  is  to  be  used  in  the  heading; 
in  the  imprint,  use  the  form  of  the  name  of 
the  place  as  in  the  book ;  give  as  a  rule  the 
name  of  the  printer  (publisher)  in  the  form 
adopted  by  the  British  Museum,  and  the  date 
in  Arabic  numerals:  if  a  book  is  not  dated, 
give  a  conjectural  date,  as  near  as  possible, 
and  always  month  and  day,  if  known  or  con- 
jectured;  explain  all  conjectures  in  a  note; 
use  brackets   in  the  statement  only   for  en- 
closing  information   as    to    imprint   supplied 
from  sources  other  than  the  book. 

2)  Collation:    If  a  book  is   unpaged,  give 
the  foliation  rather  than  the  pagination,  men- 
tioning incompleteness,  viz.:  320  leaves   (leaf 
20  wanting)  ;  when  many  leaves  are  wanting 
give  exact  number  of  leaves;  320  leaves  (in- 
complete) ;  in  the  latter  case  mention  in  note 
(no.  6)  the  missing  leaves. 

3)  Give  additional  authors,  if  not  in  con- 
tents note. 


4)  Note  on  scope,  contents,  etc.:     Efforts 
should  be  made,  by  use  of  reference  works, 
to  state  the  full  and  real  scope  of  the  book 
in  hand;  contents  should  be  given  in  prefer- 
ence to  a  note. 

5)  References    to    bibliographies:     These 
should  be  given  in  the  following  order :   The 
one  giving  the  best  and   fullest   description, 
then   Hain    (with    Copinger   and   Reichling), 
British  Museum,  others. 

In  4  the  special  typographical  forms  used 
should  be  reproduced.  If  any  part  quoted  be 
in  capital  letters,  use  small  capitals  for  con- 
tractions, etc.,  not  lower  case. 

6)  Significant   variations    from   copies   de- 
scribed to  be  noted.

ficers of  the  new  association  for  an  A.  L.  A. 
representative  on  that  Committee. 


We  need  not  be  apologetic  about  our  in- 
stitution. No  cause  can  be  greater  than  that 
which  seeks  to  raise  America's  manhood  and 
womanhood  to  the  highest  power  of  true  citi- 
zenship. Hence,  let  us  fight  valiantly  for  a 
financial  support  of  public  libraries  so  that 
their  future  may  not  become  imperiled;  so 
that  good  libraries  will  abound;  so  that  li- 
brarians will  be  properly  compensated. — W.  L.

ment," A.L.A.  Proceedings  1922,  p.  347.

Is  Your  Library 
Organized  for  Education  ? 

THE  American  Library  Association  believes  that 
every  student  from  the  elementary  school 
through  the  university  should  learn  to  use  and  ap- 
preciate books  and  libraries,  not  only  that  he  may 
study  to  advantage  in  school,  but  also  that  he  may 
continue  through  adult  life  to  benefit  from  the  re- 
sources of  libraries. 

To  accomplish  this  there  should  be  a  supervisor  of 
school  libraries  in  every  state  and  province,  and  a 
school  librarian  or  supervisor  for  every  school  sys- 
tem— city,  county,  township  or  district. 

We  therefore  recommend  as  a  minimum  standard 
that  there  be  at  least  one  full-time  school  librarian 
for  an  enrollment  of  1000  elementary  and  high 
school  pupils. 

Whether  the  school  library  supervisor  or  librarian 
shall  be  employed  by  school  or  library  authorities, 
separately  or  jointly,  is  a  matter  to  be  determined 
by  state  or  local  conditions.

This  resolution  was  adopted  by  the  A.L.A.  Council,  1922,  and  approved  by  the  Library  De- 
partment of  the  National  Education  Association. 


A20  AMERICAN  LIBRARY  ASSOCIATION 


A  Message  from  the  President 


To  the  Members  of  the  American  Library  Association: 

The  sessions  of  the  A.  L.  A.  Council  in  Chicago  the  last  week 
of  December  give  promise  of  particular  significance  and  far-reach- 
ing effect  in  the  topics  under  consideration,  provided  clean-cut  dis- 
cussion paves  the  way  for  definite  action.  This  fortunate  result 
will  be  reached  if  every  member  of  the  Council  feels  individual 
responsibility  not  only  to  be  present  but  also  to  participate  in  the 
discussion.  Particularly  we  urge  official  delegates  of  regional  as- 
sociations— chapters  of  the  A.  L.  A. — to  exercise  their  rights  as 
representatives  of  their  state  and  provincial  organizations,  and  to 
be  present  to  set  forth  the  views  of  the  library  workers  in  their  re- 
spective districts.  We  have  in  mind  as  of  special  importance  the 
question  of  the  functions  of  the  Council,  which  will  be  discussed  in 
the  report  of  the  Committee  on  Constitution,  and  the  reports  rela- 
tive to  the  standardization  of  libraries  and  the  certification  of  li- 
brarians. These  are  not  new  problems,  but  they  will  stay  with  us 
until  they  are  settled  definitely  and  in  the  right  way. 

There  will  be  three  sessions  of  the  Council,  all  of  them  open 
to  all  members  of  the  Association.  Those  not  members  of  the 
Council  are  urged  to  express  their  views  on  matters  to  be  consid- 
ered, to  their  local  or  nearby  Council  members,  thus  making  the 
latter  truly  representative.  Let  us  not  be  content  merely  to  discuss, 
but  let  us  see  that  through  wise  action  definite  progress  is  made  in 
the  subjects  we  are  to  consider,  and  so  make  this  Council  meeting 
one  of  the  best  in  the  history  of  the  Association. 

May  also  the  other  groups  holding  sessions  at  Chicago  succeed 
in  accomplishing  the  things  which  shall  make  for  the  progress  of
