[Jan., 1924
A CHILDREN'S BOOK WEEK PARTY.
By Frances Burkbt, Librarian
"Fools rush in where angels fear to
tread." During the days preceding
Children's Book Week, my assistant and
I felt that these words had been written
expressly for us. The book party grew
out of a desire to do something for the
children that would increase their inter-
est in books and at the same time be a
bit out of the ordinary. We have had
book talks, essays and book displays
every year, and while the results have
always been gratifying, we longed to do
something different. We did.
In a moment of mental aberration we
decided on a party, the guests to be the
children from all parts of the county. I
explained my plans — Avhich were very
meager at this stage — to the general
supervisor and asked her cooperation.
Her report after visiting several schools
was terrifying, for we thought that if we
could interest sixty or seventy children
in the plan, we would do well. We issued
invitations to every elementary school,
whether or not it was cooperating with
the county library. Every child was re-
quested to come dressed to represent some
character from a book he had read, and
was to be prepared to tell the story.
As the library was too small to accom-
modate our guests, we asked permission
to use the Woman's Club Room, thinking
this would be large enough. As our
acceptances poured in, we were driven to
hunt still larger quarters. My assistant
came to the rescue with the idea of hold-
ing the party in the open, which would
be ideal providing the weather was fine.
The spot selected was in an oak grove at
the edge of town and afforded plenty of
space for games and contests. There was
only one drawback and that was the
weather. It was cold and looked like
'■ain, but the Fates were on our side for
November 11th proved one of the most
delightful days of the Fall.
Our invitations read "from two to
four in the afternoon" but when we
arrived at the clubroom before one
o'clock of the eventful day, we were
greeted by a witch, the queen of hearts
and several other celebrities. They en-
tertained themselves by looking at the
Kook Week posters we had arranged in
, Amador County Free Library.
the room. These had been made by the
children in the rural schools and were
most attractive. By two o'clock over a
hundred and twenty-five children, be-
sides teachers, mothers and fathers, had
arrived.
I had pressed the Boy Scouts into
service and they were all present in full
uniform. We wished to observe Armis-
tice Day in .some manner, so the patrol
leader gave a short talk on the meaning
of the holiday and led the audience in
the salute to the flag. After this each
child in turn walked to the center of the
room and the rest guessed the character
represented. Only one from each school
told his story for the time wa.s limited.
It was splendid to see how the children
entered into the spirit of the affair and
without a great amount of trouble had
made costumes which could be easily
recognized as belonging to some well
known book character.
They were all there from the elaborate
Ozma of Oz — in trailing white and glit-
tering tinsel — to the little Austrian girl
(her father was one of the victims of
the Argonaut disaster) who came dressed
in a clean gingham dress, but told me she
was "the little white rabbit." The Old-
Fashioned Girl, Rebecca of Sunnybrook
Farm, Helen's Babies, Jack the Giant
Killer, the Gingerbread Boy, a Signer of
the Declaration of Independence, Dr.
Doolittle and dozens of other favorites
made their bow to the audience.
At the request of the business men and
other grown-ups, we formed a procession
and marched through Main street out to
the grove. The formation was unique.
At the head of the procession rode the
Knight of the X Bar B. Following him
came the drum corps, next the Boy
Scouts, then by twos the rest of the com-
pany. We gathered more children as we
went through the streets, so that by the
time we arrived at our destination, we
had a much larger crowd than when we
started.
For an hour, games were played and
later refreshments of ice-cream cones,
cookies and candy were served. It was
after four o'clock when the first guests
left, and by five the hostesses had gathered
vol. 19, no. 1] A children's book week party.
up the remains of the feast and departed
for their homes.
Apart from the social side of the
affair, which alone was worth the trouble,
the book party accomplished the very
thing we had hoped for. Increased inter-
est in reading more and better books was
noticeable in the towns, hut the results
were more gratifying in some of the
rural districts. One teacher brought four
of her pupils in a Ford over many miles
of rough roads. This was the fir.st time
these children had been outside their com-
munity. They visited the library before
they went home and chose the books they
wanted from the shelves. Prior to this
there had been practically no home
reading done in that school, but since
that time we have sent them several
shipments. This is but one of several
instances.
It seemed a big undertaking, but i;
really proved a success from every stand-
point, and the next one — for there will
be another as the children have asked for
one next year — will not be such an effort,
for we have a basis on which to work.

During the quarter the principal item
of interest was the book review contest
held as a feature of Children's Book
Week. The Board of Library Trustees
offered three prizes, each a beautiful
book, one to the sixth, one to tlie seventh,
and one to the eighth grade pupils for the
best book re^^ews submitted.
The school department, under the direc-
tion of Superintendent of Schools C. J.
Du Four, assisted in every possible way.
On the Friday evening of Book Week, an
entertainment yras held at the Main Li-
brary with about 300 children in attend-
ance. The successful competitors read
their reviews after which the prizes were
awarded. The contest did so much to
stimulate interest m children's reading
that it will probably become a yearly
feature of our work.

Miss Mary Barmby, County Librarian,
has adopted the library as a sort of step-
child and has been very helpful with
advice and assistance. The library is
maintained by the Public Health Center,
which is a county institution, but as a
part of the Health Education Depart-
ment it receives assistance from the
Community Chest.
As to the services rendered : The library
contains at present 362 books on public
health topics, as General Public Health,
Child and Maternal Hygiene, Personal
Hygiene, Mental Hygiene, Communicable
Diseases, Poods and Nutrition, etc. In
purchasing the books the bibliography on
public health issued last spring by the
National Health Council was used as a
basis for selection and all the books
recommended were purchased with the
exception of a few technical volumes. To
this nucleus have been and are being
added books which are carefully chosen
on authoritative recommendations. In
addition to the books we have about 1000
pamphlets arranged in two files, a sub-
ject file and a source and information file.
The collections are designed to give in-
formation in recent pamphlet form on
public health topics and to show what
material can be obtained from the various
health and welfare organizations, national
and local. On the magazine table are
displayed current numbers of all the
leading public health and welfare maga-
zines and bulletins, some forty coming
to the library each month. Books,
pamphlets and magazines all circulate.
In addition to these usual library ser-
vices the Public Health Librai-y has a
portable motion picture machine and
three films, a balopticon and a collection
of lantern slides, a set of food models, a
collection of anatomical models and
charts, and a collection of nearly 200
posters. All of this material is loaned
for lectures, exhibits and classroom use.
The library is open to any interested
resident of Alameda County. School
teachers, school nurses, visiting nurses,

social workers, mothers, university and

teacher associations and mothers' clubs

The library is being used more and more
each month as the public health workers
discover what very real help we can give
them, and it is the hope of the Public
Health Center that the Public Health
Library may be an influence for better
public health in Alameda County.

open discussions on each. Luncheon was
served at the library by the staff, all re-
maining to meet the visitors and get in

were many essays sent in and the prizes
of illustrated books have been awarded
to three children and honorable mention
to three others. The week was observed
in different ways in the branches, b,y
book displays in conspicuous places,
visits to the schools, story hours, etc.
Christmas was celebrated in several of
the larger branches. Fresno had a large
tree in the main reading room, the gift
of one of the lumber companies. At
Sanger Branch there was a tree for the
story hour children in the children's
room on the Saturday before Christmas.
Christmas stories were told and each
child received a gift. Reedley Branch
also had a tree donated and decorated by
some of the interested people of the town.
At the main library the staff enjoyed a
tree of their own. The party was held
in the big room downstairs and each one
received a gift, generally a joke on the
recipient. After the distribution of the
gifts the staff had luncheon together.
Hopewell School District and Butler

The Glenn County Library this year
held during- Children's Book Week attrac-
tive exhibits of new juvenile books, in
Bayliss, Hamilton City and Orland
branches and at the Main Office in Wil-
lows. A story hour was held for the
children in each of these branches by
Martha June Coleman, of the County
Library Staff. At Bayliss and Hamilton
City the children came to the library
during school hours with their teachers.
At Orland a general invitation was ex-
tended to the children of the 3d, 4th, 5th
and Gth grades. At the hours appointed
the Library was filled to the brim with
eager boys and girls. To judge from the
enthusiasm of children and custodians
these story hours were a great success.
December 3d the Librarian read a
paper on some of the new books of the
season before the Monday Afternoon
Club of Willows.
The County Library Branch at Artois
has been reopened in an attractive library
room at the grammar school, with Mr
Stanley Thompson as custodian. Mrs
W. W. Koehler is the new custodian at
Ord Branch.
The staff of the Library is each week
arranging an attractive window display
for the main office in Willows ; Miss
Coleman supplies the newspapers of the
county with reviews, etc., of the books
thus displayed. The many requests re-
ceived for these books prove again that
■'it pays to advertise."

"We borrowed the pictures, of course,
especially for the art class as a treat.

We have never had less than seven in

We feel very much encouraged because
the members are not only very much in-
terested but also are studious. We have
been growing gradually and so far no
member has withdrawn. We have been
holding the class regularly since October
1. and have finished the artists on the
H. W. Wilson Study Outline on Italian
Art, through the loth century.
The pictures have been a great help
and inspiration to the class, especially
during the two lessons in which we
studied them intensively. The members
have come in also during the week to
study the pictures, as well as the gen-
eral public. The most interesting people
who came to see them were twenty high
school girls and their teacher. Only four
of them did not seem to be interested.
The pupils came in small numbers dur-
ing their study periods. To the pupils
interested, we gave a short sketch of each
picture. Some of these pupils came a

Council, the Park Commission and the
Library Board which it is hoped will
result in a satisfactory adjustment of all
conditions so that the citizens of Los
Angeles will be in full enjoyment of Miss
Barnsdall's splendid gift not later than
this summer.
Through the generosity and public
spirit of Mr F. W. Braun the Public

Seven beautiful bronze tablets have re-

of appreciation of seven very valuable
collections of books and manuscripts, that
have been placed with the Society during
the past few years. The gifts are the
following :
In 1910 Gen. John Green Ballance,
U. S. A., of Los Angeles, gift of Army
records.
In 1915 Capt. Joseph Davis, of Holly-
wood, gift of New England and other
historical records.
In 1918, a large number of members of
the various chapters of the Daughters of
the American Revolution, not only of
California, but in many parts of the
United States, began to give valuable
historical and genealogical records to the
library of the California Society. This
has since been regularly added to.
In 1920, the heirs of the late Hon.
WUliam Matthew Marine of Baltimore,
Maryland, gave a valuable collection of
historical and reference works on the
southern states and on the civil war.
In 1921, Warren Chamberlain Tudbury,
of Berkeley, California, his entire collec-
tion of valuable genealogical and his-
torical manuscripts and reference works.

The Library of the Research Depart-

Commerce is classifying all of the studies,
surveys, and compilations which it makes
for the members of the Chamber as well
as for outside inquirers in accordance
with the best library practise.
This will make the finding of all data
an easy matter when the cataloging of
all the literature in the Chamber's files is
brought into one uniform system. The
library contains statistical data of every
sort, covered by books, pamphlets, trade
literature, clippings, maps, charts, etc.

Our efforts during November were con-
centrated on Children's Book Week and
Education Week which we combined in
our posters and publicity. We had the
usual exhibits of books for parents and
children to look over until after Christmas
and many gifts were selected in this way.
A parade of the "Best sellers of long
ago" was put on at the weekly luncheon
of the Ad Club, girls from the county,
state and city, libraries participating. In
choosing the characters which each was
to represent, their likeness to the originals
was used as the basis of selection. As
each book was taken from the shelf by
the Juvenile Librarian of the City Li-
brary, it needed no printed caption for
the audience to recognize old favorites,
so excellent was the makeup of each one.
An entirely voluntary contribution was
made to the week's activities by the David
Lubin School. Under the direction of the
teachers, a book pageant was presented
in which over 200 children participated.
Characters from Mother Goose, history
and literature, legendary heroes and hero-
ines, fascinating fairies and horrible gob-
lins, in a series of four reels, stepped
through the pages of an enormous book,
forming a colorful picture not soon to be
forgotten.
These two events gave more widespread
publicity to the purpose of the week than
anything we have done, and developed a
fine spirit of civic consciousness, since
they brought into close cooperation the
business world, the home, the school and
the library.

During Children's Book Week, Novem-

of recommended books. An essay contest
was held in the 4th,' 5th audi 0th grades
of the city, the children submitting com-
positions on the subject "My favorite
book and why." A winner from all the
4th grades, from all the 5th and all the
6th was chosen and to each was given an
illustrated copy of the book about which
he or she wrote. On Saturday morning
of this week a special matinee was held
at one of the local theaters and the pic-
ture Huckleberry Finn was shown. About
400 children attended. Talks on chil-
dren's books were given at some of the
clubs. Special emphasis has been placed
on the purchase of children's books and
the result has been an increased interest
in the children's department. There have
been between eighty and one hundred
children present at story-hour each Satur-
day ; it has been held out in the park
every Saturday but two this winter.
Much interest, has also been shown in
the work with the grade schools in teach-
ing the children the use of the library.
For two months three grades a week have
been coming to the library and have
received instniction under Miss Pew, the
Children's Librarian. A new deposit sta-
tion was established at the Lincoln Gram-
mar School, making a total of four schools
served ja this way.

The San Diego Public Library has been
allowed by the city council a budget of
7A cents on each $100 worth of property
valuation for 1924. This amounts to
$75,000. Of it $50,000 is to be spent for
salaries. The book fund, which is partly
made up of fines, approximates $12,000.
The periodical fund, including magazines
for nine branches and stations as well as
the main circulating and reference collec-
tions, is $2000, and the bindery cTiarges
are $6000.
Our annual report for 1923 which has

an annual circulation of 919,104 books.
This is a per capita average of 17.5 books
a year for each registered boiTower. As
our increase in 1923 was nearly 10 per
cent over the total circulation of 1922,
we expect to reach the million mark in
the present year.
To compare our records today with
those of a decade ago shows that in 1913
each book issued cost the taxpayer 12i
cents, while last year the cost per volume
circulated was less than S cents, an espe-
cially encouraging decrease in view of the
fact that the government reports an aver-
age rise of 5tt per cent in the cost of all
commodities in the last ten years.
The overcrowded conditions in the main
libraiy are to be partially relieved the
first of March when the reading-room,
children's department and catalog depart-
ment are to be moved to a new annex.
They will occupy the entire second floor
of the Streicher Building, diagonally
across E street from the main library at
the southwest corner of Eighth and E
streets. They have been secured on a
three years' lease. At the end of that
time we optimistically believe that bonds
for a new main building will have been
achieved. An attempt is to be made to
put the library bonds on the ballot at the
next general election, in March, 1925.

The library has replaced its former
make-shift cases with two pei'manent
weather-proof sidewalk showcases de-
signed in keeping with the facade of the
building itself and producing a miniature
effect. (Picture on file at State Library
for lending.) The cases, which are
located on either side of the main entrance
to the library, have three exi>osures, fac-
ing respectively the street, the west side-
walk approach and the east sidewalk
approach. The miniature character of
the structures themselves proves an
attraction.
The contents are automatically re-
newed, each book, when called for, being
replaced by another at the time. This
keeps the display continuously fresh, as
no one book ever remains long in the case
before requested.

On December 31 the San Luis Chamber
of Commerce staged a library luncheon.
A delightful program of music and recita-
tion was given, after which Miss Flo
Gantz told of library service in the county
and Mrs E. L. Kellogg gave a talk on the
service rendered by the city library. It
was an excellent opportunity for the best
kind of library publicity — ^talking library
before the business men of the community
— and good results have been noted.
The twelve-hour service inaugurated
recently is proving very popular and is
bringing to the library patrons who for-
merly found it inconvenient or impossible
to avail themselves of library privileges.
Just before Thanksgiving the librarian
told a group of stories appropriate to the
holiday to a large audience of children
at the Weekly Bible School of the Presby-
terian Church. The Saturday after
Thanksgiving a story hour was held at
the library for children of the first,
second, and third grades. Stories were
told by the librarian and first assistant
and were greatly enjoyed by a good sized
audience.

In order to furnish framed pictures to
each of the many elementary schoolrooms
in the county, the help of manual training-
classes of various schools was enlisted.
The first set of twenty-five frames, made
by the McCloud High School, has reached
the library. The Yreka High School also
is making twenty-five, and the Weed
Grammar school thirty-seven. The frames
now ready are of oak, very well made, at
a cost to the library of only 40 cents a
frame. Thus the cooperation of the
schools is a great aid in stretching funds.
The county librarian in December had
an opportunity to drive to San Francisco
with the county nurse. En route she had
the pleasure of visiting the Tehama and
Glenn County libraries, and the State

DISTRICT MEETINGS.
First District Meeting.
The meeting of the First District of the
California Library Association in Oak-
land, on November 17, 1923, was of a
"progressive" nature, the guests assem-
bling at the Public Museum at 10 o'clock,
proceeding from there to the Snow
Museum, and then to the Hotel Oakland
for luncheon and the afternoon's session.
After a welcome from the Mayor's
Secretary, the moving pictures of the
H. A. Snow African Expedition were
shown at the museum, Mr Snow himself
being present and contributing greatly to
the enjoyment of the guests by his
explanations and reminiscences. With
interest whetted by the pictures, the dele-
gates journeyed to the Snow Museum,
where Mr Snow's trophies are displaj-ed

in a most attractivo maniipr, from the
skins and habitat gronps inside the build-
ing:, to tlie animals and birds wliich dwell
in the spacious grounds, presided over by
the two lion cubs who roared a greeting
in the most approved fashion.
A short walk brought the company to
the Hotel Oakland, where, after luncheon,
the afternoon session was held in the south
room. "Art in the Library" was the gen-
eral sub.iect of the meeting, and the audi-
ence was again treated to a visual exposi-
tion of the topic by the display of two
beautiful pictui'es painted by Miss Calthea
Vivian, an artist of note, who was the
first speaker. After a brief talk on mod-
ern art, which she has recently studied in
Europe, Miss Vivian gave the audience a
bibliography of the subject, her scholarly
reviews and keen comments proving so
interesting that everyone present must
have resolved not only to purchase all of
the books for his or her library, but to
read them as soon as possible. A second
bibliography covered general books on art
appreciation, especially some of the more
recently published titles.
Miss Florence Browne, formerly Chil-
dren's Librarian of the Oakland Free
Library, led the discussion of the next
topic, "The circulation of art books and
pictures in the library." Miss Browne
gave a histoi'y and description of the Oak-
land Library's picture collection, which
now totals more than 70,000 pieces and
consists of mounted pictures, clippings,
stereographs, post cards and posters. Miss
lone Tucker, Children's Librarian of the
Berkeley Public Library, described the
picture collection on file there, and spoke
of its growth and rapidly increasing use-
fulness. The San Francisco Public Li-
brary, Miss E. J. Sturges reported, does
not have a picture collection at present,
but books and magazines are indexed by
the Reference Department, and pictures
on many subjects thus made avaiilable.
The Alameda Public Librai-y has just
started a picture collection.
Two groups of songs sung by Miss
Beulah Masterson of the Fruitvale Branch
of the Oakland Library were most appro-
priate additions to a program with this
subject, being beautiful selections, artisti-
cally rendered.
Reports on recent and interesting events
in First District libraries were given by
representatives from each library, after
which the meeting adjourned.
Lucie C. Nye, Secretary.
Second District Meeting.
The Second District meeting of the
California Library Association was held
at Santa Cruz at Casa del Rey Hotel,
November 17, 1923. Upon arrival lunch-
eon was served in the dining room or the
hotel. The guests found at their places
charming photographs of scenery in and
about Santa Cruz, autographed by the
artist. The tables were most artistically
decorated with baskets of zinnias and
autumn foliage. Mr Samuel Leask made
a few remarks of welcome.
After the luncheon the meeting was
called to order by Miss Norah McNeill,
the president of the district. Chairs were
grouped around the piano in the lobby of
the hotel. Mr Kunitz delighted the audi-
tors with a solo, very graciously respond-
ing to an encore.
Karl x^dams. Superintendent of Schools
of Santa Ciiiz, took for the subject of his
address, "Books and a child," in which he
gave some pleasant reminiscences of his
own reading as a child. His talk covered
a wide range, dealing with the child's
reading, the work with the schools, the
advantages that teachers may have in
what is offered the schools by the library,
and the desirability of closer cooperation
between the library workers and teachers
as many of their problems are basically
the same.
Mrs Coates of Santa Cruz gave two
readings — a humorous monologue and a
poem, "Home," by Edgar Guest.
The subject of Children's Book Week in
rural communities was taken up, Mrs A.
G. AVhitbeck, of Contra Costa County
Free Libiary, leading. Miss Mary Barmby,
of Alameda County Free Library, reported
that with the cooperation of the Superin-
tendent of Schools the teachers were
directed to have the childreia make posters
for each of their branch libraries to be
sent later to the county office for judging
and public notice. Books were shown in
nine branches and story hours held in five
and book lists sent to each branch.
Miss Stella Huntington, of Santa Clara
County Free Library, reported that they
sent out collections of books to four large
branches, a copy of the "Bookshelf" to all
branches and schools and maintained in

tlae main library an exhibit of books,
featuring the moderately priced book.
Miss Anne Hadden, of Monterey County
Free LibraiT, reported through Miss
Esther R. Ross that they celebrated the
week rather early at Santa Oruz at the
Teacher's Institute. They showed both
the old classics and the newer and cheaper
editions. Miss McNeill explained the
book-week contest as conducted by iie
library and the schools in Richmond.
Mrs Whitbeck told of her program which
was extended over the entire month of
November and in which she visited as
many clubs and P. T. A. meetings as she
could, speaking sometimes both afternoon
and evening. She carried about 200 books,
showing the vei-y lovely new editions as
well as the moderately priced book. In
addition copies of the '"Bookshelf" were
distributed to parents and teachers.
H. O. Parkinson, of Stockton Public
Library, talked of his many novel ways
of advertising. Among them were the pay-
ing of a man ($3.00) to distribute leaflets
not only to houses but to lodges, lunch
rooms, etc., placing them in hat bands
and pockets when possible. How he adver-
tised by mail, by collecting lists of pros-
pects from school, chamber of commerce
lists, etc. ; checking these with the bor-
rower's file and then sending only to non-
borrowers. Practically 10 i)er cent re-
sponded to their mail list. He advocated
the use of the book plate as a source of
information instead of for the printing of
rules. Tliey have a column in the news-
paper under the caption, "Under the read-
ing lamp." Telephoning to children proved
very effective. They did this for t^vo
hours each Saturday for ten weeks and
reached 237 children. About 70 per cent
responded. A home reading scene was
staged at the county fair. There seems
to be no end to the novel and original ways
of advertising that Mr Parkinson has
devised. In each case he was able to show
results.
A few of the librarians who waited for
a later train were treated to a wonderful
drive with Miss Doeltz over the residen-
tial district. The views at many points
were marvelous and left a very lovely
impression of the town and its setting.

LETTER FROM SOUTH CAROLINA.
The praise in the following letter
belongs to the county libi'ariaus, to whom
it is here passed on :
WiNTHROP College
The South Cabolixa College foe
WoMEx, Rock Hill, South Carolina.
D.vviD Bancroft Johnson, President.
January 21, 1924.
Hon. Mu.ton J. Fergu.son.
State Librarian,
Sacramento, California.
My Deak Mr Ferguson :
I have sent out many an inquiry and
questionnaire, but in all my life I have
never had such a generous resiwnse as the
response that has come from the librarians
from the county libraries of California.
It is a remarkable illustration of the
generous largeness of California, which
means the generous largeness of your
people. The librarians have not only
sent printed materials in great abundance,
but they have taken the pains to write
letters giving minute details regarding
their work.
In my career it is all unexampled. \\"e
are grateful to you for your good letter
and for the materials you send.
We are organizing Study Centers for
teachers in the counties throughout the
state. The movement is marvelous. The
Study Center, of course, is the first step
toward a covinty library. California's
example will be of incalculable service.
We are grateful to you, to your libra-
rians and to the great people you rep-
resent.
Ever with best wishes,
Sincerely yours,
(Signed) A. P. Bourland.

FORMER TRUSTEES.
During the past few months two former
members of the Board of Trustees of the
State Library have died. Judge W. C.
Van Fleet, who passed aAvay on Septem-
ber 3, 192.3, found time iu a very busy
life to serve the state as trustee from 1900
to 1912. Mr R. M. Richardson, who died
on November IS, 1923, became a member
of the board iu 1910 and continued to
serve until the board was abolished by
legislative action in 1921. These two
men gave unsparingly to the state of the
high judicial and economic qualities which
marked their life-work on the bench and
in the counting-house. Even after they
had retired as officers of the State Library,
their interest in its development remained
unabated, and their counsel might freely be
had.

Miss Angelina Grant and' Miss Alice Miller
of the State Librai"y, put on a program
in celebration of Children's Book Week
before the Sacramento Ad Club on Novem-
ber 13. The g'irls in appropriate costume
took part in a "Parade of the best sellers
of years ago." This was repeated later
for the Soroptomist Club and on Novem-
ber 23 it was given for the State Library
staff meeting.
The staff had a Christmas party on
December 19. A vaudeville perfoi*mance,
with an old-fashioued minstrel parade and
setting, furnished the entertainment, while
a beautifully decorated tree and refresh-
ments appropriate to the season gave the
Christmas touches.
It becomes necessary to record that the
State Library has had the experience of
having to bring charges of insubordination
against a member of its staff, before the
State Civil Service Commission, of going
through a trial, ami, in the end, of drop-
ping the defendant from its roster. This
sort of thing is not common in the library
profession, because, no doubt, of the high
ethical standards of library assistants,
which would ordinarily move them either
to work in harmony with their chief, or
else decently to resign.
When Mrs Suggett was dropped from
the staff of the State Library June 1,
1923, Miss Ruth McLaughliu, who for
several years had been a member of our
Sutro Brancli staff, was made assistant
in charge. It became evident, after a
little while, that she was more responsive
to the former branch iibrarian than she
was to the State Librarian. As a matter
of protection of the interests of both the
State Librai-y and also of Miss McLaugh-
lin hei'self — 'though quite obviously she
did not appreciate the thought given to
her welfare — she was directed to report,
on October 1, 1923, for duty in Sacra-
mento. This order she at first attempted
to ignore ; she sought to involve her ch'ef
in a letter writing contest ; and through it
all persisted in remaining on duty in San
Francisco. It finally became necessary to
file charges of insubordination against her
on two counts : failure to appear in Sac-
vol. 19,110. 1]

raraenttv, and persistence in appearing in
San Francisco.
On Novembur -5 the case came to trial.
Miss McLanglilJn was represented by an
attorney. The State Librarian app?ared
both as appellant and as attorney in his
case. Mnch testimony that was quite
irrelevant was introduced by the defense.
The appellant was content to present
documentary evidence which conclusively
proved his contention.
At the end of the hearing the Civil
Service Commission direored the parties
to submit briefs. And after due delibera-
tion thereon it Avas decided by the Com-
mission that Miss McLaughlin was guilty
of insubordination on the two counts
charged ; and she was dismissed from the
service. Milton J. Ferguson,

NEWS NOTES OF CALIFORNIA LIBRARIES.
[Jan., 1924
As a means of securing the most efficient
sei'viee we suggest that a prompt notifica-
tion be sent in of all changes in the address
of branches. We find that we are some-
times sending packages to the wrong place,
because we have not been notified of the
change of location of the branch. This
infoi'mation should be given on a "new
branch" slip. When given on the request
slip it is liable to be overlooked by the
shipping department. "New branch"
slips will be fui'nished on request.

The California Department aims to

resources and industries of the State, as
well as the works of California authors

are made accessible by means of a card
catalog. Full names' and biographical
sketches of California authors, artists,
musicians, pioneers and early settlers are
being secured, together with their photo-
graphs. The collection of bound peri-
odicals is quite large. The Department
also contains about 90OO bound volumes
of newspapers', a file of which is being
indexed with reference to the history of
the State. Students will be assisted in
their work.
Pioneers and Early Settlers.
Royal H. Waller was born in Vermont
and came to California in 1849, making
the trip around the Horn. Mr Waller
settled in San Francisco and in 1854 was
elected City Recorder, which office at that
time was the same as police judge. He
was later School Director, U. S. Land
Receiver and Pension Agent in the U. S.
Army with rank of Major. He was an
active and honored citizen of San Fran-
cisco up to the time of his death in 1866.
Joseph Curtis Bufifum arrived in '49,
making the trip across the plains. Mr
Buffum's diary of the events of this trip
and of his early life in San Francisco is
a most valuable document. After making
several trips back East he finally returned
to California in 1897, where he perma-
nently remained until his death which
occurred in 1904.
Henry Hovey Hyde also arrived in
1849. The cards of those who reached

THE MECHANICS'-MERCANTILE LIBRARY.*
By Byron Mauzt, President Mechanics' Institute, San Francisco.
You have asked me to, present a pic-
turesque history of the Mechanics'-Mer-
cantile Library.
It is not difficult to picture in words
the history of the Mechanics' Institute
with its various activities from its incep-
tion to the present day, if one had the
artistic literary ability to portray it.
Material is indeed abundant and even our
English language is full enough to paint
a picture of glowing colors that would win
the approval of the most critical among
you, if one could so blend them together.
As a business man and not an artist in
words, I am obliged to present you, in-
deed, only a very salient picture which I
have secured through the courtesy of our
able Secretary and our very efficient
Librarian.
lam quite sure that what your program
committee reallj' expected was an account
of tlie Mechanics' Institute, and of the
Mercantile Library Association, eacli of
which, in the early days of San Francisco,
established and maintained a separate
library under its own management, there-
being no connection whatever between
them until January, 190'6, when the
Mercantile Library Association went out
of existence and, under an agreement with
its Diembers, its books were taken over by
the Mechanics' Institute ; the libraries
were combined and thereafter operated
undci the name of the Mechanics'-Mer-
cantile Library until April, 1906, when
the San Francisco fire wiped both collec-
tions out of existence.
Inasmuch as I represent the Mechanics'
Institute as its president, but more par-
ticularly because its history is of a dis-
tinctly different type from that of the
Mercantile Library Association, I shall
begin with its organization, progressing
as far as the amalgamation of the two
associations. in 1006, when we will go back
over the years and review the story of
the Mercantile Library.
To begin, as its name implies, the
Mechanics' Institute was established as
an aid in the advancement of the
mechanic arts and science ; its organizers
were mechanics who felt the need of self-
improvement and who were willing to put
their shoulders to the wheel to get this
advancement for themselves and to pro-
vide it for others. These men met in the
office of the then tax collector on Decem-
ber 11, 1854, completed their organization,
and devised a plan of operation. Several
subsequent meetings were held at which
the plan was further worked out ; on
March 6, 1855, a constitution was pre-
sented and adopted \^■hich set forth that
the designs and objects of the association
were to cultivate a social feeling of friend-
ship and an educational improvement
among its members ; the dissemination of
information and useful knowledge by the
establishment of a library of circulation
and reference, a museum and reading
room, the formation of classes and delivery
of lectures for tuition, the collection of
cabinets, scientific apparatus, works of
art, the purchase of property and the
erection of buildings for the requirements
of the Institute, or for any scientific,
mechanical or literary purpose ; and it
was further provided that no individual
right in its property should exist or be
acquired, and that the property should be
held in trust for the association and
never be diverted from the purposes and
intention for which it was acquired.
Its library opened on April 5, 1855,
with the gift of the following four books :
the "Constitution of the United States,"
an "Encyclopaedia of Architecture,"
"Curtis on Conveyancing," and a copy
of the Bible. Within a few months a
room was rented on the fourth floor of
the Express Building, at California and
Montgomery streets, where the Kohl
Building now stands, where, with varying
ups and downs, it remained until 1858,
when, with a libary of 900 volumes, it
moved to larger quarters on Montgomery
street, between Pine and California.
During this time its members were not
unmindful of the objects for which they
had organized and after much considera-
tion it was decided that, in addition to its
other activities, it should further the city's
interests by the holding of an exhibition
of the manufactures and industries, not
only of the city but of the entire state.
At this time there was no structure of
sufficient size to house the proposed ex-
hibit, so, in addition to arranging for the

ciation, March 1, 1924.

exhibit itself, it became necessary to
provide a building therefor. The avail-
able funds of the Institute Avere limited to
a few hundred dollars but, due to the
courage and enterprise of its founders,
the use of the James Lick lot, on Mont-
gomery street, was secured without pay-
ment of rental, and a building covering
20,000 square feet, and costing some
$7000, was erected. From this beginning
grew the annual so-called Mechanics'
Fair, for which other and larger buildings
were from time to time erected, and which
speedily became the leading feature in
the city's educational and social life.
These faii-s were discontinued in 1899, it
having become apparent that they had
served their pui-pose in bringing to the
attention of the world the resources and
manufactures of the state.
The management of the Institute was
in the hands of a board of trustees
elected from its membership, and the suc-
cess and popularity of the fairs were not
allowed to interfere with the progress of
the other work provided for in the con-
stitution. Additions were constantly
made to the rapidly growing library, and
in I860 the Institute purchased its first
real estate, a lot on California street,
between Kearny and Montgomery, upon
which a Jiuildiug Avas erected and into
which it moved its .5000 volumes. The
library remained here some three years,
and in 18GG the Post street lot (the site
of our present building) was purchased
and a building erected thereon which Avas
occupied by the library until destroyed by
the fire of April, 3906..
During all of this time the educational
aims of the Institute were featured to the
fullest extent which its funds Avould
permit. Lectures upon technical, scien-
tific, and other subjects, by the best men
in their respective lines, Avere provided,
and classes in mechanical and free-hand
drawing, and allied subjects were main-
tained where the apprentice or mechanic
could, at a minimum of expense, provide
himself Avith the knoAvledge necessai'y for
his Avork. This feature of the Institute's
activities placed it faA'orably and pi-omi-
nently hefore the public as an educational
institution and it Avas, no doubt, respon-
sible to a great extent for the section in
the charter of the University of Cali-
fornia, providing that the President of the
Mechanics' Institute should be ex officio
a regent of the State University.
Perhaps the outstanding feature in the
Institute's history, in the light of its
relation to its finances, was the purchase
in ISSl of the block of land bounded by
Larkin, Playes, Polk and Grove streets
for $175,000. For some years previous
to this time the Institute had been holding
its industrial exhibitions in its pavilion
at Eighth and Mission streets (where noAV
stands the Crystal Market), the land for
which it had leased at one dollar per year
and the payment of the taxes thereon.
The building on this lot was moved to the
uew site and I'emained there until de-
stroyed in the conflagration of 1906. In
1913 this land was sold to the city and
county of San Francisco for the purpose
of erecting thereon the present Municipal
Auditorium, the purchase price being
$700,000.
The library in its Post street quarters
continued to hold its place in the public
esteem, and in the early part of 1906 it
had upon its shelves considerably over
100',000 volumes, comprising a general
library Avith an exceptionally fine scien-
tific and technical collection. At this
time came the consolidation Avith the
Mercantile Library and the taking over
of its collection of books Avhich brought
the number of volumes, in the combined
libraries, to over 200,000, many of them
rare, priceless volumes.
At this point, as I said earlier, let us
go back over the years and review the
story of the Mercantile Library. This
association was organized by the mer-
chants of San Francisco in December,
1S52, and after considerable discussion as
to the need of such an association the
committee reported a pledged sum of
$n0O0. With this encouragement it was
thought advisable to commence operations,
and on the tAventy-fifth. of January, 1853,
a meeting Avas called for the election of
oHiccrs. The Library began with the
l)ur(l)ase of a private collection of about
2.""i'nO Ijooks and pamphlets. Rooms were
secured in the California Exchange Build-
ing at the northeast corner of Clay and
Kearn.A' streets, and opened to readers
early in February, 1853.
The early history of this library shows
that while there was a constant growth
in the number of volumes, there Avas

alwa.As the woriy about finances. In
1805 the association decided to erect its
own building and a lot was purchased on
Bush street, between Montgomery and
Sansome streets, at a cost of $50,000. A
loan of $100,000 was then negotiated, the
lot and proposed building given as security
therefor, and additional loans to the
amount of $100,000 were effected. The
buildiug was completed and dedicated on
the eighteenth of June, 1868, at which
time the total indebtedness was $240,000.
Various means to raise the amount were
tried but with very little success. To
quote from an annual report of that
period : "the prospects were most gloomy ;
it was impossible to obtain a supply even
of the cheap current literature ; and the
mortgagee had commenced a suit of fore-
closure." Temporary relief was had,
liowever, from a musical festival which
])rovided the association with nearly
$20.(100.
A bill, which became a law February
20, 1870, was passed by the legislature
authorizing the association to hold three
gift concerts. These were in reality
lottery drawings, known as the "Mercan-
tile Library Lottery," which netted a
profit of $310,120 with which the entire
indebtedness of the association was paid,
leaving a balance of $20,(KX>. The con-
certs were given at the California Theatre
and the drawings of the lottery were held
in the Mechanics' Institute pavilion, then
located on the present Union Square.
In time its collection of books became
known as one rich in treasures of art,
literature, and rare editions, but its
financial condition did not prosper, and
seveial attempts were made to consolidate
the association with the Mechanics' Insti-
tute but without avail. It was finally
decided to purchase a lot on the northeast
corner of Van Ness and Golden Gate
avenues and to erect a new library build-
iug thereon ; the cornerstone was laid on
March 28, ISO'l. The library remained
in this location until 1901 when it w^as
moved back to the business center, into
quarters secTired on Sutter street between
Kearn.v street and Grant avenue. Its
consolidation with the Mechanics' Insti-
tute was effected early in 1908 but its
usefulness was not fated to last long, for
on April 18, 1906, the city was destroyed
by the greatest fire in the world's history
and' with it the combined library contain-
ing a ])riceless collection of books.
The Mechanics' Institute trustees im-
mediately started the collection of
another library and by August, 1900, a
temporary building bad been erected on
the former JNIechanics' Fa\ilion lot at
Grove and Polk streets and over 5000
volumes installed therein. Early in 1909
a contract was entered into for the erec-
tion of the present Post street building
and by July, 1910, the library was back
to the location it had occupied prior to
lOOiG since 1866.
Early in its existence the Institute
established a chess center at which gath-
ered all of the more prominent playere
of the day. Chess is, as you know, more
than an ordinary game — ^very much in
the nature of a mathematical calculation
— and its practice makes for the develop-
menl of a keen intellect. This feature
has steadily grown, and today the
Mechanics' Institute's Chess Club is known
in every part of the world where chess is
discussed. Practically all of the world's
best known players have at one time or
anotiier made visits to this club and
pitted their skill against that of players
whose training was had in our chess
club. I am proud to say that the science
of our local players was, in a great many
instaiices, superior to that of our visitors
and that the Mechanics' Institute's Chess
CIu'o liolds many records for skillful and
daring playing.
The sale of the pavilion lot to the city
in 3913 provided the Institute with a
handsome endowment which has enabled
the trustees to carry out more fully the
aim of the founders of the Institute to
disseminate information and useful knowl-
edge at the least possible effort to the
seeker and to advance the Mechanics'
Institute as an educational center.
I trust that this paper may prove of
interest to you and that you will gather
from it this fact, that the progress of the
Mechanics' Institute and of the Mercantile
Libra r.v Association from nothing to
something important was due to the
indomitable will and determination of
those early-day workers and to the con-
scientious labor of those who followed
them. Without this spirit there would
have been no Mechanics'-Mercantile
Library.

ing of the new things she is doing and all
taking part in the discussion of problems.
We have opened several new branches
during the quarter. One is at the Cheney
Pumping Station on the West Side and
is in charge of Mrs D. C. Keyser in her
home. We have had a small collection in
the school near here and this has been
moved to the regular branch. Another
interesting branch is in the contagious
ward at the General Hospital and is in
charge of the head nurse of the ward.
We send only discards, which are kept at
the hospital. The rest of the branches
are at the Southeru California Edison
Company's camps and at Power House
No. 8 of the same compaiay. We have
visited these branches, with the exception
of Camp 5 which is at the top of the
incline and can only be reached by train.
The branch at Power House No. 8 is
called Schewanikee and will be a perma-
nent branch. It is located in the power
house until the club house is built, the
club holding themselves responsible for
the books.
Miss Kate Foley, State Teacher of the
Blind, visited Fresno in January and met
a number of the blind in this vicinity,
teaching some to read and inspiring others
to keep up their studies. She spoke to
sevei-al of the luncheon clubs and the
Rotary Club joined the California Society
for the Blind in a body. She also spoke
at St. Paul's Church and at the State
College. We had the pleasure of having
her talk to the staff and meeting her
afterwards.
The County Superintendent of Schools
and his supervisors held sectional insti-
tute? all during the month of February
and we had a representative at each to
tell the teachers about our work with the
schools. Seventeen sessions were held and
we feel that much will be gained by this
personal contact with the teachers.
I\[is3 Bailey and Miss Yager have started
their class in School and Library Cooper-
ation at the State College. This course is
given to the normal students who wish
to take it and credits are given them
for their work. The course includes
general library administration, selection
of children's books and County Library
law with special reference to the service
to the schools. A good deal of time

is spent in the study of the county
manual also. We think that this class is
most important as it gives the new teach-
ers a right understanding of our work
with the schools and simplifies our rela-
tions with them when they go into the
county schools which belong to the library.
We find that the teachers who take this
course have a much more intelligent idea
of the County Library scheme than those
who have not.
Miss McCardle and a number of the
staff attended the meeting of the Fourth
District at Merced on the 27th of Feb-
ruary. The meeting was most interesting
and a very pleasant and profitable day
was spent.
On the 19th of March we held a district
institute for custodians at Reedley. The
custodians from Fowler, Selma, Kings-
burg, Clovis, Sanger, Del Rey, Parlier,
Xavelencia. Orange Cove and Reedley
were in attendance. We left Fresno
with two machines and took along
a number of assistants from the main
library to take the places of the custo-
dians whom we took on to the meeting.
They took charge of the branches for the
day and on their return made a written
report of the conditions which they found,
thus giving us a better understanding of
how the work is being carried on. We
took our luncheons and spent the day in
the Reedlej' library, which is a model for
arrangement and neatness. The work of
a branch library was taken up point by
point, filing, children's work, work with
the schools, etc. We expect to hold two
other institutes in the near future, group-
ing the branches which are close together.

Miss Sarali M. Jacobus, Lib'n.
The series of talks about books given in
tlio fall at the Y. W. C. A. by the libra-
rian was so well attended that a second
series was asked for. This is weekly
through February, March, and April.
Instead of being given by the librarian
alone, the senior members of the staff are
each giving one talk. This alteration has
proved to be popular with the class. It
is good policy, too, for it makes very
evident to the community how capable
are all their library workers.
Several rather notable musical events
have occurred in Pomona this winter. In
preparation for these the library has
advertised that anyone might have the
records of the concert numbers played
for them at any time. This is to meet the
necessities of those who can not come to
a stated phonograph concert. The re-
sponse to this invitation was quite good.
At a Board meeting held January 19,
it was voted that the staff be classified
into three groups, with graded salaries
in each group and no advancement from
group to group except upon further train-
ing. Miss Beryl Lewis (Riverside 1022)
was made head of the Circulation Depart-
ment. The salaries of department heads
were increased ten and fifteen dollars per
month, according to the schedule of
salaries adopted at the same meeting.
These increases took eft'ect as from Janu-
ary first.
The local historical collection has re-
ceived from Mrs Mel Campbell of Pomona
a coujplete history of the Pomona Woman's
duo with a file of its programs and
certain of the earlier record books.

was chairman of the Board of Super-

established, is now managing the hospital
and has taken charge of the books de-
posited there. These books will not be
returned to the main library but will be

books requested by Mr Scandreth and the
nurses will be kept in a separate case
and returned when no longer in use.
A branch library has also been estab-
lished at El Nido and is in charge of Mrs

A Monday morning staff meeting has
been inaugurated at the main library for
the purpose of reviewing books and maga-
zines and for the discussion of problems
of service. The first three meetings
were devoted to reports on critical maga-
zines and their value as aids in book
selection and in evaluating books for the
public. One of the outstanding modern
dramas will be reviewed at the next
meeting.
The foot and mouth disease has de-
scended upon the county with very
disastrous effects and strict quarantine
is now being enforced. This means that
no visits can be made by the librarian to
branches or by custodians to the main
office without violating the spirit of the
quarantine. Some branch librarians re-
port their circulation is seriously affected
because people can not get to the library
and others that people have more time to
read and are therefore using the library
more than ever and that the guards on
duty are asking for many books.

the results were extremely gratifying.
We are glad to be able to report that

mean the combining of the two libraries,
we are hoping for larger quarters in the

lished in the hospital building, but was
soon moved to a building of its own,
where a reading room has been estab-
lished. Thirteen magazines have been sub-
scribed for, and many of the men have
private donations of books and maga-
zines, and the patronage, both of the
books and of the reading I'oom facilities,
has been heavy. One of the men acts as
custodian, freely giving of his spare time
for the benefit of his fellows. It is the
one library in our county system which
has neither "rules nor locks," and from
which nothing has been lost ! i^''iction
is at a discount, and the demand is for
books in every line of general literature,
with science and history predominating.
A branch was established at Point
Pleasant on January 23, in the home of
Mrs F. G. Sprock, who acts as custodian.
As this is not a heavily populated com-
munity, it was not expected that the de-
mand would be heavy, but the original
shipment of 50 books proved all too
small, and four additional shipments
have been sent. On February 15, a
branch was established in the County
Jail, for the use of the prisoners. This
has not been as largely served as it
should be, but it is expected that better
service will be established in the near
future.

grown the quarters which it so long

Since the union of other school districts
with ChafEey, making the greater Chaffey
district, a demand has arisen for books
of quality adapted to younger readers. To
meet this demand some four hundred
volumes have been placed in the Chaffey
Library and are now being used by the
boys and girls of the outer districts.
These books are sent out in numbers of
twenty-five, in special containers designed
for the purpose. The books are placed
under the care of the teachers of the
schools, who are responsible for them.
They are then issued to the pupils, in a
manner similar to the way books are
handled in any library. Each consignment
of books is returned in four weeks and
others are then taken our. In this way
from fifty to one hundred volumes are
continually in circulation.
This plan of getting good books into
the hands of boys and girls who may not
have the opportunity of coming in touch
with them has been adopted by the
Chaffey Library. It is believed in this
way that the young people of our schools
will be helped in the acquirement of the
reading habit and will learn some of the
essential lessons of life.
The books designed for this class of
readers will be covered by the following
heads : Mechanics for boys, Outdoor
sports, Hero stories, Stories of industries,
Stories of other lands, Stories of ad-
venture. Animal stories, Nature stories,
Stories of real people. Stories of the sea.
Games for young people. Poetry for
young people.

"To each of the first fifteen individuals
requesting information from the library
(in compliance with the conditions herein
stated) who fails to receive said infor-

1. Any resident of San .Joaquin Count.v
IS yeai-s of age or over is invited to par-
ticipate.
2. Any individual may submit any num-
ber of inquiries, but not more than one
forfeit will be conceded to any one
individual.
3. Requests for information are always
welcome, but only those received on or
before Friday, March 21, will be con-
sidered in this demonstration.
4. Queries may be communicated by
phone, mail or in person to the Library
but must be clearly and explicitly stated
and accompanied by name and address of
inquirer.
5. Inquiries must be sincere and the
information requested of some positive or
recognized value to the applicant.
6. No questions of a personal or private
nature will be considered.
7. Legal and medical information, while
noinnally supplied to a limited extent, will
not be considered in this procedure,
S. Requests for specific books will not
be regarded within the scope of this
experiment.
9. The Library, which is a cooperating
unit of the California County Library
system, reserves the right to utilize this
.system, in which the State Library
functions as a cleai'ing house, supplying
supplementary printed matter or specify-
ing in what libraries it is obtainable.
10. The applicant is to be his own judge
as to whether the information supplied
reasonably answers his inquiry.
Lists of questions and sources of
replies were printed from time to time
in the newspaper, but the announcement
of the first nnan.swered question, "What
is the origin of the phrase 'Curiosity killed
a cat'?" appeared to excite far more
attention than all the other items com-
bined.
Out of some five hundred questions, the
library failed to answer four, three of
which were quotations while the fourth
was a graphical representation of certain
technical data.

is divided into two parts — the main li-
brary with new heavy oak tables, chairs,
and attendant's desk ; and the text book
room which is simply the store room for
the school text books. A number of
reference books for all departments have
been added this year to increase the 1753
volumes already in the library.
Also we have succeeded this year in
organizing a library science class of ten

twice a week during the activities period
and receive instruction and practice in the
workings of a library. One unit credit

The decorative fealiire of carved vrood
for the main entrance of the Public
Library, which has been awaited since
the building was erected in 1917, has
been completed. Last year a friend of
the library save half the fund necessary
and the City Council appropriated the
other half.
Tli^ overdoor is of wood, carved, gilded
and painted in color. The design is in a
restrained Spanish baroque to harmonize
with the building in general. The theme
is that of the coat-of-arms of the city of
Santa Barbara, surrounded by the devices
of four famous and ancient libraries of
the old world, and with idealized statues
of Plato and Aristotle placed at either
side of the central coat-of-arms as sup-
porters. At the extreme bottom is a
sacramental symbol to represent the
religious purpose which inspired the
Mission Fathers, flanked by the castles
of Spain. The cockleshells appearing in
several places are the symbol of the
Apostle, Saint James the Great, the
patron saint of Spain and of the Spanish
colonies. Plato at the left and Aristotle
at the right typify philosophy and science
and represent the source of modern litera-
tur-.^. The shields above are the heraldic
devices of the University of Bologna, the
Bibliotheque Nationale, the University of
Salamanca and the Bodleian Library.

Benito County Library. We left San Jose
at four o'clock Thursday afternoon. While
we were waiting at Xiles for the Sacra-
mento train we visited the branch there
of the Alameda County Library. A
splendid collection of books and a charm-
ing custodian who kept the library open
an extra half hour for the visitors sus-
tained our pride in the county library
system.
Friday morning we spent in the State
Library, meeting various members of the
staff, visiting the cataloging, documents,
newspaper, reference, and circulation
departments, and discovering Santa C^ara
Coimty cards in the union catalog. In
the afternoon we saw the Sacramento
County, Yolo County, and Woodland
Public Libraries. Miss Laugenour and
her staff gave us a very nice tea in the
Yolo County Library. In the evening
we called on Mr and Mrs Ferguson in
their delightful new home. Saturday
morning, after Miss Susan Smith had
taken us over the beautiful Sacramento
City Library, we returned to the State
Library to "do" the law, blind, shipping,
and California departments. Each de-
partment seemed more interesting than
the last and if it had not been for the
prospect of luncheon with Miss Gillis we
should probably still be bombarding the
staff with questions and receiving very
wise and helpful answers.
This account may sound a bit like the
society notes of the local newspaper, but
Miss Huntington's tour not only gave a
great deal of pleasure to its members bat
quite equaled a whole course at a library
school in educational value. It gave to
us new ideas for our own library and
greater professional interest in library
work through the contacts with other
libraries and librarians. It also helped
us to a more intelligent understanding
and appreciation of the splendid system
and wonderful work of the California
State Library, and of the share of the
county library in that system and work.

Accordingly the supervisors took action to
establish a library under the state law
providing for county law libraries. The

The Fillmore Branch Library has
moved into a larger room next door to the
old building. The labor of moving was
volunteered without request and much
appreciated.
The Santa Susana Branch has moved
from a store where it had a corner into
an entire room that has direct access to
the street. The room will be furnished
with reading table and chairs.
Holy Cross Branch (P. O. and express
Ventura) and Thousand Oaks Branch (P.'

February 4, 1924.

For the past two years statistics for
shipments from the Ventura County Free
Library have been given incorrectly in
News Notes of California Libraries. The
first year it was from mLsinterpi-etation of
the figures given ; the second year it
seems to have been a plain mistake. To
rectify this as much as possible, the
following correct figures are given :
Shipments to branches (including schools)
1021-22, 1292 (17,993 items: books
16,649 ; periodicals 86 ; other material
1258). Special reque.sts 12,0.58. Ship-

which gutted the whole building. We
saved perhaps 80 volumes wihich students
happened to have drawn out. However,
we have begun to build anew and have
accumulated 303 volumes of fiction and
reference. We have just carried a
$250,000 bond issue for rebuilding and
are guaranteed funds for books to replace,
in part, anyway, our loss.
We have fitted up a small room as a
library, putting therein our 303 volumes,
a New International Encyclopedia, fifteen
current magazines, atlas, dictionaries,
year books, etc. The County Library has
been very helpful so we are getting on
well.
We hope to have some additions to
report next time.

EMPLOYMENT BUREAU.
The State Library registers all
library workers in California who are
looking for positions and all from outside
the state who wish to come here. Also
it will be glad to know of libraries' that
want head librarians or assistants in any
branch of their work. In writing for
recommendations, libraries are urged to
be as specific as possible, especially in
regard to time position must be filled and
salary offered. A librarian who wishe-s
to be dropped from the Employment
Bureau list and a library that fills a posi-
tion for which it has asked a recom-
mendation will help the work greatly by
notifying the State Library at once. For
further information, write to the State
Library, Sacramento, California.

McNeill, librarian of the Richmond Public

Mauzy, i^resident of the Mechanics Insti-
tute, who gave a history of the Mechanics'
Mercantile Librai-j'. (»S'ee p. ^5.)
Mrs Elizabeth Gray Potter, librarian of
Mills College, who recently returned from
Frarce, spoke on the American Library in
Paris. . She gave a very illuminating idea
of the work as carried on by the staff
of librarians.
Harry Xoyes Pratt, editor of the Over-
land Monthly, reviewed briefly the history
of the magazine and voiced the hope that
he might be able to restore its old-time
literaiy flavor.
Milton J. Ferguson. State Librarian,
spoke briefly of the change in the loca-
tion of the Sutro Branch of the State Li-
brary from the Lane Medical Library
Building to its present quarters in the
San Francisco Public Library, Civic
Center.
Miss Mary Barmby, Chairman of Com-
mittee on Seaman's Library, announced
that in April a plea, for books for sailors
would be made and asked the help of all
librarians pre.sent.
The question of personal and institu-
tional membership was discussed by Miss
Stella Huntington and a member from the
First District.
Cliarles S. Greene was elected nomina-
tor for the First District, with Miss Edith
Coulter, as alternate.
Luncheon was served to about one
hundred and twenty guests. Miss Carol
Donnan favored the assembly with two
violin solos and Miss Melva Farwell with
two flute solos. Miss Farwell explained
that the music of her second number, a
phantasy, was obtained from the music
department of the San Francisco Public
Library and was the only place from
which she could obtain it.
Oharles S. Greene, librarian of the
Oakland Free Librairy and president of
the First District presided at the after-
noon ses'sion. He introduced Mrs Mary
Roberts Coolidge who spoke on "The
author and his audience." Mrs Coolidge
said in part that all the arts had one
thing in common, that they must have
an audience.
A letter of regret that illness would
prevent his attendance was read from
Charles G. Yale, librarian of the Bohe-
mian Club, who was to have talked on
Bohemian authors. Dane Coolidge very
kindly took his place on the program and
talked on Western authors and writers
of western stories.
Charles Caldwell Dobie, author and
short story writer, related humorously
his early experiences as a writer ; he
closed his remarks by saying that he had
talked uix)n all subjects except that
assigTied him, his novel, "The blood red
dawn."
Frederick O'Brien told how he wrote
his "\STiite shadows in the South Seas"
and recounted many humorous incidents
connected with his sojourn there.
Present day poets and poetry was the
theme of Mrs Edwin Markham of New
York. Mrs Markham has been the presi-
dent of the Poetry Society of New York
for many years and was able to give
freely of her wide experience.
Miss Edith Hibberd of the Oakland
Public Library sang two groups of songs
in her very delightful way. The musical
program for the day was arranged by Miss
Fredericks, head of the music department
of the San Francisco Public Librai"j'.
The meeting was well attended, both dis-
tricts being represented.
AxicE G. Whitbeck, Secretary.
Third District Meeting.
The annual meeting of the Third Dis-
trict of the California Library Association
was held on Saturday, March 8, 1924.
at the Vallejo Public Librai"y. Miss
Estella De Ford, president of the district,
presided, and in the absence of Miss Clara
B. Dills, Miss Marjorie Chilberg acted as
secretary.
A word of welcome was given by S. A.
Copper, president of the Board of Trustees
of Yallejo Public Librarj'. and also by A.
H. Draughon, Mayor of the City of
Yallejo.
A short business meeting was held at
which Miss Leta Hutchinson was elected
nominator for the district, with Miss
Clara B. Dills as alternate. Following,

lems was held, and each member present

book lie had read recently aud tell in a
few words something about the book.
The meeting then adjourned till after-
noon.
Those present were taken to ^Nlare
Island where, through the courtesy of the
Commandant, they were guests of the
Vallejo Public Library at a luncheon
served in the yard cafeteria.
Lunch over, the party was escorted
about the island by Chaplain Hayes. This
proved most interesting inasmuch as
very few had visited the island before.
The Rodman Naval Club Library and
U. S. Hospital Library and recreation
rooms were of special interest. The party
then returned to Vallejo where the meet-
ing was continued.
Mrs Zoe D. Moore of the Seven Ai'iS
Reading Room in the Palace of Fine
Arts in Sian Francisco talked briefly
regarding the work of the organization
and extended a welcome to the use of the
valuable material housed there.
A most delightful talk was then given
by Mrs Elizabeth Gray Potter, of Mills
College, on the work in the American Li-
brary in Paris. The library was estab-
lished by the American Librai-j- Associa-
tion during the war for the use of the
men in service. With the end of the war
it was to have been discontinued, but so
many requests were made to keep it open
that various means are now being taken
to make it a war memorial. All nationali-
ties and classes of people are using the
library and it is felt that America and
American literature will be better under-
stood as the library continues.
Christopher Nixon of Stag's Leap. Napa
County, then spoke on "Tbe library from
the borrower's view-point." A graduate
of Oxford, ^Ir Nixon has had access to
the British Museum, the B'odleian Li-
brary and other large libraries of Europe.
He said, however, that nowhere was he
able to get better service than in the
State of California.
An interesting day was concluded by
Miss Hastings of Sather Gate Book Shop.
She told of her work with children, and in
her charming manner told one of the old
Persian hero tales, "The Birth of Rustam."
The meeting was the largest ever held
in this district, 52 being present, and
much credit for the success of the meet-
ing should go to the Vallejo library and
its trustees for their cooperation aud
hospitality. Marjopje Ciiilberg,
Acting Secretary.
Fourth District Meeting.
On Wednesday, February 27, 1924, the
annual meeting of the Fourth District of
the California Library Association con-
vened in Merced with eighty-five li-
brarians from the ten San Joaquin Valley
counties comprising the district in attend-
ance.
The morning session, which was held at
the County Library, opened at 10.30 with
the greetings to the visiting librarians,
followed by a brief business session at
which the nominator and alternate were
elected, to serve at the annual election
of officers of the association. Miss Essae
M. Culver and Miss Gretcheu Flower
were unanimously elected.
The first speaker on the program was
Miss Julia Steffa, Librarian of Kings
County Free Library, who described
some of the literary shrines visited on a
recent trip through Eui'ope. Beginning
with the librai*y carried on shipboard she
'od us on to the Americau Library in
Paris : the Vatican ; the burial place of
Michael Angelo and the monument of
Dante in Florence ; the British Museum ;
Uni\"ersity of Oxford : Shakespeare's birth-
place : to Scotland and the home of Burus,
then hack through ^lontreal to the United
States and home. All of her beai'ei-s
cherish a hope of visiting the shrines of
which so attractive a glimpse was given.
Miss Ida Huntington, of the Stanislaus
County Library staff, gave an allegorical
presentation of "The sad and merry tale
of a county library assistant." In a
humorous and whimsical way she pre-
sented for consideration many ideas and
ideals of library service, and her paper
was original and greatly appreciated.
A round table discussion on library
problems under the direction of Miss
Mary Harris, of Fresno County, was next
carried on. ]Mi.>--s Pauline Yager, of
Fresno County, spoke on children's li-
braries, and contrasted the advantage of
a small library with a larger one. Miss
Martha Johnson, of the Taft Library,
spoke on "How to interest the public in
ucufiction books" and ^Irs Lucile Isak-
.son of Madera led a discussion on special
requests.

mento City Library gave an intei'esting
talk on "The attitude of the library
worker toward his work." Miss Pearl
Blurdell of the San .Toaquin County Free
Library told of the "Information contest"
which the library held. Four hundred and
eighty questions were received during two
weeks, one hundred and fifteen of this
number required some research, two could
not be answered and two were doubtful.
A few minutes were given to informal
diiscussion on questions of general interest
to librarians, after which the meeting

prestnt. that being 100 more than last

by an invocation by Rev. S. J. Kennedy,
a member of the Alhambra Library Board.
.T. L. Davidson gave the address of wel-
come. He said, "In books lies the soul

stitution applying to the election of a

"Lantern Lists," and greetings from
Charles S. Greene, president of the First
District.
Miss Jeannette M. Drake, president of
the California Library Association, gave
the plans for the annual meeting in April.
Miss Marion J. Ewing, assistant libra-
rian, Pomona College Library, gave a
very illuminating talk on libraries and
other things in China. She said in part :
"Although China is a very dirty place, the
tourists look in vain on the streets for
scraps of paper bearing Chinese charac-
ters. T'here is great reverence for printed
words even among illiterates, and papers
are taken to nearby shrines to be rever-
ently burned. The story of libraries
begins with Confucius, who lived about
250 years before the Alexandrian Library
was built. For two hundred years after
Confucius, literature flourished. Then
Prince Chen wished to abolish feudalism,
and in order to do this he commanded
that all books be destroyed, and that the

scliohirs be boheadod ; but some of the
sciiolars mauasod to conceal a large
quautity of Ooufiician literature in a Avell,
so that this was savetl. Literature flour-
isheil aaain iu the Ilan dynasty about
200 years A. D. when the emperor ordered
the Chinese classics to be engraved on
stone tablets, or pillars, so that they
never could be destroyed. Real libraries
were established. About 1773 Emperor
Chun Ijiing decided that literature was
not appreciated. He ordered that his
subjects should turn in all manuscripts
of any value. He appointed a director
who read thousands of these and from
them chose 3.500 works. One thousand
five hundred clerks were employed for ten
year.j to make seven copies of each of
these. Only three of these are left, and
the Chinese are very eager to have them
copied, but it would cost $10,000 for 100
copies. No Chinese publishing house is
willing to undertake this. One collection
occupies one-fifth of a mile, and is classi-
fied by a scheme made 60O years before.
The same classification is used in libraries
now. but the Chinese are not satisfied Avith
the scheme. At the present time libraries
may be divided into tliree cla.'^ses : Old
libraries ; libraries connected with foreign
inissions ; and government and municipal
librai-ies influenced by foreigners.
Among the old libraries are 30 Buddhist
libraries, exact duplicates of one another.
Priests are allowed to take one book at a
time from rheso collections. Once a year
the public may look at these books under
the supervision of the priests. The books
are in old Chinese characters seldom used
now. There is a public library in Nan-
king in an old building, with glass cases,
used only by scholars. One must give
notice a day in advance when one wishes
to use certain books. Scholars have their
own private libraries of Chinese classics
of great age. An outgrowth of the libra-
ries of the missions was a library school
started by Miss Elizabeth Wood at Han-
kow, which is the Chi(;ago of China. Miss
Wood's graduates lect'ire on library work.
She is trying to have some of the in-
demnity money spent on a natioml
libra; y. A governmenv: library is situated
at Nanking where Mr Hung is librarian.
He is a graduate of the New York State
Library School and his library is like an
American library. An imposing new
library building is in course of erection.
A very impressive library building may
be seen at Soochow where a charming
lilirarian shows one through the different
rooms, but not a book is to be seen.
China is in the imitative stage of library
work and educational work. They will
accept the best and eliminate the worth-
less, and will surely create something that
will be a real contribution to the world of
letters."
J. E. C4oodwin, librarian of the Southern
Branch of the University of Califom'a,
spoke on some of the problems in his
library. He said : "I left my membership
in the California Library Association in
1912 and went to Texas. I returned to
library work in California this year.
When asked to speak at this meeting I
\-isualized an informal gathering of one-
third the number here. In Texas a meet-
ing of the whole state is attended by about
seventy-five. Because I have come from
there so recently, I bring you greetings
from that small association. I deeply
appreciate the very cordial welcome re-
ceiA'ed from Miss Fargo and other members
of the staff of the University Library.
Our problems are paralleled in any sizable
college or university in the country, and
they are the same as those in the in-
structional departments. Our physical
plant is inadequate and not susceptible to
extension. The university has announced
that instruction shall be maintained on
the same high standard as at Berkeley,
therefore the library must be first class.
The Southern Branch is borrowing very
generously from Berkeley, far more than
we could from any other librarJ^ In
making purchases we must consider what
shall be excluded. In accepting gifts we
must determine whether the same stand-
ards shall be applied as we apply to pur-
chases. The responsibility of selection
lies in large measure with college faculties.
The library buys largely for non-labora-
toi-y departments, but producing scientific
men are those who insist upon first class
laboratory equipment and first class maga-
zines and books."
Miss Helen T. Kennedy, assistant libra-
rian of the Los Angeles Public Library,
conducted a very lively symposium on the
modern novel.
The afternoon program consisted of
music by local artists, stories told by

Seventh District Meeting.
The Seventh District of the California
Library Association held its annual meet-
in°- Saturday, April 12, 1924, at the
Humboldt County Free Library, Eureka.
The meeting was preceded by an informal
luncheon.
Those in attendance were : Mrs Florence

Davis, Miss Georgia Davis. Humboldt
County Free Library ; H. A. Kendall,
Mrs' Helen Bartlett, Eureka City Library ;
Miss Eva Manning, Eureka High School :
and Miss Ruth Larimer, Humboldt State

iliss Ida M. Reagan was elected nomi-
nator and H. A. Kendall, alternate, to
attend the annual meeting at Pasadena.
After the business session there fol-
lowed a rouuid table discussion of the
program of the annual meeting of the
association which had arrived that morn-
ing. The members present were inter-
ested in the program numbers and ex-
pressed themselves as wishing it were
possible for them to attend.
Georgia A. Davis, Secretary.
Ninth District Meeting,
The members of the Ninth District of
the California Library Association attend-
ing the meeting, which was held in Yreka
February 1 and 2, 1924, arrived! there
late Friday afternoon, and were met at
the train by Miss Thelma Braekett, presi-
dent of the district, who had made
arraagements for the entertainment of
the members in private homes. Later all
gathered and again were grateful to Miss
Braekett for her thoughtfulness when as
her guests they partook of a turkey
dinner.
At S p.m. the meeting was formally
called to order in the public librai"y. Miss
Braekett presiding. After a cordial wel-
come to the members and friends, the
president introduced Milton J. FergTison,
State Librarian, who made a few general
remarks, and then delighted his listeners
by reading a clever satire on Geoi'ge
Washington, Mary Queen of Scots, and
U. S. Grant, from Tom Masson's Annual
for 1923'.
"The door in the wall" was the subject
chosen by a "far-away" borrower, Mrs
Clarence Soule, for her inspiring talk.
The "door" proved to be the county
library and the books that had been made
available to her and her family through
the agency of that institution. She de-
scribed in a delightful manner the syste-
matic way she had read and studied for
years.
At 10 a.m. February 2, the second ses-
sion was called to order. J. W. Millei-,
Superintendent of Schools, who had lived
and taught in Siskiyou before the era of
the county library, spoke most apprecia-
tively of what had been accomplished
througih the library service to schools.
Mrs Lila G. Adams was the speaker on
children's books. Her experiment of per-
sonally sending postals to all the school
children in Trinity County during Chil-
dren's Book Week and asking them to
write descriptions of their favorite books
was most interesting and the audience
was certainly entertained by the reading
of a few of the cards she received in reply.
In the absence of Miss Edna Hewitt,
Librarian of Sutter County, who was to
have led the round table. Miss BlancOie
Chalfant opened the discussion. Problems
that are always present in every library
were discussed to the advantage of all
present.
Mrs Lila Adams was elected nominator
for the district, with Miss Chalfant as
alternate.
Several custodians of Siskiyou County
were in attendance, also a number of
local people. Yreka being rather far from
the center of population, made it difficult
for some members to attend. The meet-
ing, however, made up in enthusiasm wliat
it lacked in attendance.

SARATOGA SPRINGS AGAIN.
By Milton J. Ferguson, Librarian, California State Library.
Do .voii remember ]!I18 at Saratoga
Springs? War. World swayiug projects.
Growing onthusinsm for tlie tasks be-
queathed by Louisyille in 1917. Uni-
formed librarians \ylio someho\y had
acquired, ahuost, a martial stride. The
book, a fulcrum on which to elevate a
nation to a higher plane of virtue and
wisdom, (xreed began the great conflict ;
knowledge, the printed word should end it.
The records of the A. L. A. set out
that (>20 persons attended that 191S con-
ference. But in that year there was a
largeness, of ideas, of ideals, if not of
numbers, which filled the old political
convention hall, and made a grand com-
Ijany of those who thrice daily passed
beneath the crystal chandeliers and on
irito that oc-ean of a dining room. Some-
tliing was at stake. Tomorrow might see
a great victory — for none could contem-
plate defeat — 'and each must he ready to
d() or die.
Is it, I wonder, that quality, or trait,
or knack of the imagination which subtle-
transforms the yesterdays into perfect
(lays, or was it fact which makes me be-
lieve today that in li'n.S librarians regis-
terefl at Saratoga Springs went to meet-
ings with puritanical regularity and
Ijunctuality? I can not recall whether at
that war conference golf had not yet
broken out in the ranks, or whether the
task in hand was so all absorbing that
sticks had been forgotten in the cloak
closet back home. Certainly I have no recol-
liction of hearing anyone boast that he
had a perfect score in session attendance :
ever.v meeting avoided.
B.v 1!>24, war, in libi-arv circles, had
l)ecome a memory. Enthusiasms were in
leash. Attendance had doubled over six
years earlier but the convention hall had
become a reechoing barn, which towards
the end of the conference President Jen-
nings showed good judgment in abandon-
ing. Uniforms had taken refuge among
the moth balls. Golf had become a pas-
sion. Section meetings were more
numerous than ever, and perhaps more
scantily attended. Bookmen, book-
binders, caterers to library needs were in
force, and really had much of excellent
\ alue to show, if one had time and energj-
to see. Five o'clock tea was substituted
for war-like feiTor. And the book itself
had taken the military feather out of its
cap, and become a genial old friend,
(h»l)endable, safe and sane, but incapable
of leading the charge in the face of big
l)erthas and mustard gas,
Saratoga Springs is a nice old town,
set down in the fold of gentle rolling
hills, made green with tine trees. Some
33352
of its residences reflect the glory of an
amititious past. Without any wish to be
unfair, one might deduce that it rather
slumbered during a greater part of the
year, and awoke on our national birthday
to gather in the fruits of July and August.
Then the summer visitor comes, bringing
with him the babel of tongues spoken on
the sidewalks of New York and in its
foreign quarters but strangely old world
sounding to western ears. The race tra<k
becomes alive again. Crowds throng and
hope, and hope again : ponies are variable
stars. The springs still bubble; and
visitors quaff the waters from open faucet
or from prettily labeled bottle, according
to their economic philosophy : now, in
solemn belief that it will reduce an out of
bounds girth line, or take the limp out of
;i rlieitmatic foot : then, as a stunt on a
summer picnic, just to feel the rising
carbonated bubbles tickle the nose.
The old (irand Union Hotel is worth
one visit to the little cit.v, where I suppose
a certain potato dish got its name, and
where histor.v tells ns Benedict Arnold
showed himself a dashing hero ; I should
not care to argue the affirmative for a
second visit. It seems to date Itack a
century or longer to Israel Putnam whose
v.olf-capturing episode pictured on an old
swinging sign board told the traveler
where to alight. This board is still to be
found on the back veranda of the old
hostelry : one can puzzle over the serious-
ness of that adventure in which, if the
iirtist be not at fault, the General all but
lost his pants but not through the
ferocity of the wolf. Those endless
\erandas speak of a day before the auto-
mobile came, of a day when the rocking
chair had not escaped from domesticity.
The high ceilings and spacious bedrooms
'■emind us that once building was cheaj) :
but the absence of private baths makes us
know that there was a time when the
Saturday ])ath was an institution and not
a vaudeville joke. And were it not for
the fact that it became a sort of prison in
which one served an indeterminate sen-
tence thrice daily, the dining room would
have been an interesting place : if for no
other reason that that it harbored a larger
numlier of negro captains, waiters, and
Inis boys of greater diversity of color,
iige, figure and gait than can probably be
found, in a single body, elsewhere in con-
tinental America. I can shut m.v eyes
now and see that endless room fading
away towards a far distant kitchen,
whence it were sometimes doubtful
whether a colored man would ever return.
Reason alone argued that he would, in
hope, no houbt, that the diner like a
certain traveler of old might have buried
186

a talent, more or less, beneath his napkin.
But if food came slowly, talk \yas abun-
dant : bass and treble, laughter, solemn
declaration, chatter, shop talk and talk, so
intermingled, such a hash of sound that
one coming into the room unaware could
not have told race, business, or belief of
the assembled diners.
That old convention hall, I wonder
w'hat stories it could tell. It must have
peen men and sights to furnish material
for a dozen political novels. With up state
and down crowded into its five thousand
seats, it was probably a satisfactory place
to speak in ; but with a thousand librar-
ians sprinkled over its ground floor it was
anything but inspirational to the speaker.
Somehow his Avords seemed inclined to
come tumbling back at him. The first
part of a sentence hopefully launched
reached the further walls and rolled back
in a fairly successful attempt to choke
.the period down the orator's throat.
There was something pathetic in our effort
to use that giant's reading stand. One
questioned whether Tammany tigers were
tall enough to read from it in comfort, or
wbether their stuff was all extempo-
raneous. The paper covering which once
concealed roof beams had yawning holes,
here and there ; and these ragged
streamers murmured of ghosts of bygone
days, and men, and customs. It was
like, to speak in modern terms, a bottle
of ginger ale the next morning, tepid, the
fizz all gone.
As a sort of echo of the year's activi-
ties of the Temporary Library Training
Board, the first general session was de-
voted to the subject of education for li-
Inarianship. W^hile the speakers differed
in the handling of their topics, there was
unanimity in the conviction that training
is essential. One could not tell, however,
Avhether that session's doings would be
the powder train leading to the dynamite
of the evening's council meeting which
should blow the works to that same far
region, the graveyard of the enlarged
program. At New York in April some of
the library school people were in bullish
mood : they wanted to toss the Avhole
business. But when the council gathered,
the rules of the game Avere stated — who
could A'ote and avIio niitst simply listen — •
Avhen the report of the temporary board
Avas read, and its recommendations, not
a voice was raised in opposition. Some,
seemingly, were armed with formidable
antagonistic documents ; and word had
gone the rounds that the fight would be to
the finish. But quietly, soberly, motion
Avas made accepting the recommenda-
tions and thanking the committee for its
excellent Avork. When the vote was taken
the uo&s Avere unanimously absent, or
speechless. Thus did the A. L. A. in its
somewhat ponderous fashion take another
definite step towards the library of
tomorrow.
Henceforth training for librarianship
becomes the business of associated li-
brarians. It is easily to be seen that the
success of the profession, in its primary
intent to give book service to a nation,
will be gaged very largely by the results
of tliis combined effort to secure a better
trained personnel. What may become of
the Association of Library Schools, which,
Avhile no doubt it has accomplished much,
has seemingly been deeply interested in
building a high barricade about its own
corporate body, rQmains yet to be deter-
mined. Business men, note the action of
the Carnegie Corporation on this subject,
agree that in any field the first considera-
tion must be given to the man on the job.
Good as has been the product of the li-
brary schools of the past, it must be made
better. We may now reasonably hope
that the makeshifts and scrimpings of the
schools may be replaced by modern
machinery. Poverty is after all not one
of the cai'dinal virtues.
President Jennings deserves high praise
for his restraint in framing general ses-
sions. He kept them down to four ; and
even then one Avas a joint affair with the
College and Reference Section, and the
Special Libraries Association. Further-
more, this executive whom Ave of the west
claim as our own had a presidential mes-
sage of excellent merit. In a spirit of
kindly humor, he pointed out some of the
pitfalls Avhich yawn before the library
world so eager to undertake community
tasks of all kinds Avhether by any stretch
of authority they rightfully come within
the library field. Flaws are easily noted :
the other fellow's mote becomes a granite
Ijoulder. But Mr. Jennings went further :
in logical, understandable manner, he set
doAvn some of the things which libraries
should undertake Avith renewed vigor and
enthusiasm. Adult education took such
Ijrominence that it may be designated as
the keynote of the convention — that, with
training for librarianship as a harmonious
minor. No doubt this fine presidential
message Avill soon find Avide circulation in
one of the library publications ; as I hope,
too. may the able confirming words of Dr.
Alexander Meiklejohn who so splendidly
rounded out the program on the evening
of July 4.
But if general sessions were fewer, the
average Avas kept up by the multiplicity
of meetings of round tables, sections and
allied organizations. What i*ecourse is
there for a poor librarian with but a

sins:li' sot of brains when he sees such
teiuptius food simultaueoiisly disphiyed
ou tables so far apart? If he goes one
phice he may not be in another ; and as
yet it is scarcely the custom to drop in,
say, at the Children's Librarian's Section
for a mental cocktail, pass on to Catalog
Section for an inspiring entree, hurry for-
ward for the roast l>eef served by the Law
Librarian, and settle cosily down for
dessert and demi-tasse with the vSpecial
Librarians. We may come to such a pass.
On no half day, excepting, of course,
when general sessions wei'e held, were
there fewer than seven meetings in prog-
ress ; the maximum was ten. We were
put to it in our childhood to get our
money's worth at a three ring circus : at
the A. L. A. we cash in on that early
training.
Personally, I took pleasure in finding
f ut what people are reading in Boston :
find count the effort on that evening worth
while in that it gave me opportunity- to
know Frank Chase, a sort of fellow con-
sj^irator, who made out a good case for
iIk^sh people of the great cod fish center.
Hooks speak a language intelligible to
nil sections of our great commonwealth.
And if we have acquired the monotony of
uniformity in dress, habits and thought,
we at the same time profit by the strength
inherent in national homogeneity.
But I would be insincere if I did not
confess particular satisfaction in the meet-
ing of the League of Library Commissions.
Tlie program was brief and pointed. It
had certain Gallic qualities : it was
divided into three parts. There was pro-
pounded the query what is the respon-
sibility of the League for the machinery
of our library system, its personnel, and
its return to the stockholders in the cor-
poration, the people. The new state li-
brarian of Pennsylvania, Miss Anna A.
ISIacDonald, responded to part one,
Charles E. Ru.sh of Indianapolis took
the second, and Sydney B. Mitchell of
the L^niversity of California concluded.
When these three excellent papers appear
in print I earnestly recommend that they
be given the study and attention to which
they are entitled.
The A. L. A. is busily engaged planning
for its fiftieth birthday in 1020. It is
thinkin? of a permanent home which shall
become an informational and inspirational
library center for America. It is looking
forward and working toward a member-
ship of 10,000 persons. It is planning
surveys, catalogs and exhibits, all of which
may reasonably l>e considered a part of
the semi-centennial festival. Every item
in this program will repay the profession
for the pains and labor necessary in its
accomplishment. But in this well doing
let us not forget that complete success
will only come to the library forces when
every American is potentially served with
information and books. Not every citizen
ol this nation will care to become a book
worm for profit or for pleasure ; but the
system must nevertheless be completed.
As the count stands today half of our
population has no book service ; and it is
probably the part which stands in great-
est need. ^len, women, and children in
scattered rural sections, out on the great
plains of the west, in the hills of the
southern states, in forest and back
country, in hamlet and small town, those
who lack the inspirational influences of
bigness in the cities, and have lost touch
with the fresh charm of a new land : to
these millions of our population the li-
brary must minister. Can not the A. L.
A. evolve a plan by which such sections
of our country may be enabled to help
themselves? It will require money, per-
haps in no small sums, it will take hard
work on the part of fai"-seeing executives,
it may involve extensive demonstrations
of a nature so removed from the habits of
the past as to appear revolutionary : but
the task must be grappled with. The A.
L. A. alone is in position to act : singly or
in smaller groups fair results ma.v not be
readily won. In certain favored states the
library and the child are arriving at an
understandable basis : adult education will
develop and flower with increasing vigor.
What we need now is to make the move-
ment more or less uniformly national.
This year entertainment was not
stressed : some comparatively few stole
away now and then for a round of golf :
the children's librarians served a cup of
tea as a sort of stimulant to renewed talk
on library i>roblems : and after tea for an
hour or two a group tried the charms of a
syncopated orchestra for that stiffness
contracted from long sitting on wooden
chairs. Yaddo opened its hospitable doors,
and the members in utmost freedom en-
joyed its art treasures, its books, its wide
flung lawns and magnificent views ;
though they were probably saddened at
the stor.y of the burden of calamity
heaped upon its builder, the Trask family.
Lake George called the early risers for a
pleasant motor trip over rolling hills. The
view from Mount MacGregor. where
President Grant passed his last days,
repaid the spin to its crest. But other-
wise it was a business meeting, working
smoothly because of the growing efficiency
and wisdom of the headquarters .staff, a
business meeting of quality, with lots of
unprosrammed talk mornin?, noon and
night.
NEWS NOTES OP CALIFORNIA LIBRARIES.
[July, 1924
THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE CALIFORNIA LIBRARY ASSOCIATION
AND OF THE CALIFORNIA COUNTY LIBRARIANS.
By Stella Huntington, Librarian, Santa Clara County Free Library.
The twenty-ninth annual meeting of the
California Library Association was held
at the Hotel Huntington, Pasadena, April
28-30, 1D24. The California County Li-
brarian.s' joined their fifteenth annual con-
vention with the C. L. A., but had a
special county program on May 1st.
The sessions opened at 10.00 a.m. on
Monday in the lovely ballroom of the
hotel. Miss Jeanette M. Drake, president,
presided. As the maj^or was out of town,
Mr J. W. Wood, chairman of the advisory
library board, welcomed the visitors to
I'asadena. There wa.s a short business
meeting. The members present voted to
have a "Convention registration fee"' of
.$1.00 for each annual meeting, to be paid
by each meml>er in attendance so that the
increased expense of the meetings may be
])aid by the members that attend the
meetings and get the benefit and pleasure
from them. Miss Ethel Richardson, assist-
ant state superintendent of public instruc-
tion of California, gave a most interesting
talk on "Adult education : the significant
factor in American life." Dr. Archibald
Ronton, Dean of College of Arts and
I'ure Science, New York L'niversity, gave
a scholarly and interesting paper on
"The function of literature."
On Monday afternoon Miss Junia M.
"Wolff, music supervisor of the Pasadena
Public Schools, led the librarians in a
community sing. The favorite song seemed
to be "Marcheta." This was followed by
an address, "River of life," by Miss Madge
.Tension, of "Sunwise turn" fame. After
this general session the "Municipal libra-
ries'" section met, presided over by Miss
Ethel Carroll, president for the past year
of the section and librarian of the Oxnard
Public Librai"j'. Rook mutilation was dis-
cussed by Harvej- J. Addams, special
investigator of the Los Angeles Public
Library. Decreasing the temptation for
l)ook thefts and mutilation was the i-emedy
offered for this perplexing problem by Mr
Addams. He asserted that persons often
take books on very slight pretext and
might not do so if the opportunity did not
present itself. As concrete remedies for
this problem he recommended closer super-
vision of stacks and reading rooms ; verifi-
cation of applicants for cards ; the inter-
ception of fraudulent cardholders ; closer
scrutiny of satchels, hand bags, etc. He
gave several examples of curious places in
which missing books were found. One
book, reported lost for seven months, was
found doing duty for a missing caster
under the leg of an office desk. Mr Greene
of the Oakland Library thought that the
association should protest to the school
authorities against the making of scrap
books for the schools. He said that chil-
dren have been known to cut pictures out
rf valuable books, encyclopedias and maga-
zines for this purpose and that the prac-
tice tended to make vandals of the chil-
dren. Miss Althea AVarren of the San
Diego Public Library gave an interesting
talk on entertainment material. Patrons
crowd to the library to know how to cele-
brate some holiday fittingly and the libra-
rian is often puzzled to make her material
go around. Miss Warren gave sources for
l)lays. games, recitations, etc. "In this
branch of library work," she said, "it is
sometimes necessary to lower our stand-
ards somewhat, for when a patron wants
'The face on the bar-room floor,' that's
\\hat he wants, not some classical poem."
]\Iiss Eleanor Hague, an authority on folk-
lore, presenied valuable material on folk
songs, and Miss Maryette O. Mackey of
the Los Angeles Public Library discussed
the work with foreigners. In closing. Miss
Mackey made a plea for the laying aside
of an attitude of sui>eriority when dealing
with foreign pati'ons of libraries, for they
honestly believe that their nation and their
literature outranks or equals that of any
other nation.
Two round tables were also held on
^Monday afternoon, one on school libraries
and the part that they can play in the
building of Citizenship and Americaniza-
tion was discussed by Dr. Frederick
Woellner of the University of California,
Southern Rx-anch. Miss Winifred F.
Skinner of the Pasadena High School
Library presided at this meeting. Miss
Helen E. Haines gave one of her delight-
ful talks before this group on "Interesting
new books for High School libraries."

U. 8. Veterans' Hospital No. 24, at Palo
Alto, pres-ided over the Plospital Libraries
liouud Table, and the principal speaker
was Dr. Josephine Jackson, famous nerve
specialist of Pasadena. Hospital libraiy
work, iirs Gravett reported, is a result
'.;f the war when interest was stimulated
in supplying hospitals with books. Libra-
ries are now assisting in the work and it
is spreading to private hospitals and
l)romises to be a very important phase of
library work.
Mouda.v evening a marionette show was
given, ' ■ S n o w - w h i t e and the seven
dwarfs," by the municipal players of the
Los Angeles playground department. It
was very well put on and much enjoyed.
This was followed by an Italian carnival
which was a great success. Some were
masked and some were hard to recognize
even without masks. The dignified State
Librarian was finally found in the role of
an Italian organ grinder. He was assisted
in his labors by a well-known bookbindex*.
Mr H. O. Parkinson presided at the
I bird general session on Tuesday morning.
Miss Helen E. Haines of the Los Angeles
library school read a most interesting
luiper on "Modern fiction and the public
library." "Librarians seldom regard fic-
lion with si-renity," .Miss Haines said,
and many of the librarians smiled. She
told of one very excited lady who returned
to the library a copy of Fabre's "Social
life in the insect world" and demanded
that it be withdrawn from circulation be-
cause it contained "One very passionate
chapter" ! "Selection and not censorship
is the i)roblem confronting the librarian
and the public library should disclaim cen-
sorship and practice selection" ^liss
Haines continued. It was a very sane
and practical paper on the question that
is always upiiennost in every library.
I'dlowing comiuunity singing, led by Miss
Wolff, interesting book symposiums were
given by noted authorities on varied sub-
j'cts. Sydney B. Mitchell, associate li-
brarian of the University of California,
spoke on architecture applicable to Cali-
fornia. "California history and desciip-
ti'On" was the subject of Laura C. Cooley,
assistant reference librarian of th(> Los
Angeles I'ublic Library. Francis ]M.
FultJC, author of the "Elfin forest," spoke
on "California out-of-doors.'" Each of
these last three speakers had short printed
lists of books on their special subjects
which were much appreciated when they
were distributed to the librarians. At the
m'srning business session the delegates
endorsed a resolution favoring the adop-
tion of a uniform system of lettering on
bound magtizines.
Miss Jasmine Britton of the city
school library of Los Angeles spoke on
the restoration of the library of the
T'niversity of Louvain. Money is much
needed to complete buildings to house the
books already collected. Pledges were dis-
tributed which members were asked to
fill out and send in.
The general session on Tuesday after-
noon was omitted because of the fact that
Benjamin F. Pearson of the Southern
California Edison Company, who was to
luavt* spoken, was unable to be present
on account of illness. The afternoon
was devoted to the round table meet-
ings beginning at three o'clock. All
those who attended the "Children's
round tal)le" considered themsel\-es
very fortunate to hear the .splendid
discussions on nature study material,
books for the intermediate grades, children
and poetry, and esiwcially Miss Frances
Clarke's delightful account of her exjieri-
ences in the children's room of the New
York Public Library. The other rountl
tables for the afternoon were the "Cata-
loging and reference round table," pre-
sided over by E. Louise Pec-k of the San
Diego Public Library ; and "Buildings and
equipment." in charge of Miss Helen T.
Kennedy of the Los Angeles P u b 1 i c
Library.
Tuesday evening there were many li-
brary school and group dinners, a jolly
crowd that filled the big dining room to
overflowing. Miss Madge Jenison gave an

adjourned to the ballroom where Mr Don-

us how he took the pictures of wild
animals in their native haunts and it made
a thrilling and most interesting evening.
On AVednesday Ma- H. J. Stonier, Ex-
ecutive Secretary, T"nivei"sity of Southern
California, talked on the "Literature of
a changing government." "America needs
less law and more law enforcement. We
have reached the saturation point in law,"

Mr Stonier said. "The superabundance of
laws in America today leads to a feeling
among the so-called criminal class that
the law does not mean what it says. Li-
brarians have a place in eliminating this
condition by aiding in satisfying the in-
creasing inquisitiveness of American peo-
ple in regard to forms and functions of
government."' Committee reports followed.
Mr Sydney B. Mitchell was elected as a
delegate from the C. L. A. to the meeting
of the A. L. A. The Nominating Com-
mittee presented its report and the new
ofEjcei-s for the year 1924-25 unani-
mously elected were : Mr H. O. Parkinson,
librarian Stockton Public Library, pres-
ident ; Miss Helen T. Kennedj% assistant
libi'arian Los Angeles Public Library, vice
president; Miss Hazel G. Gibson, Sacra-
mento County Library, secretary-treas-
urer. Resolutions were also adopted prais-
ing the work of Miss Drake, the retiring
president. "Wednesday morning there
were three round tables. "University-
College Round Table," presided over by
Mr J. E. Goodwin, Librarian of the Uni-
versity of California, Southern Branch.
A "I^ending round table," in charge of
lUanche I'nterkirc-her of the Los Angeles
I'ublic Library, which discussed the pur-
pose the library should serve to the pub-
lic ; and the obligations of the librarian to
the public. Miss Littlejohn in her short
talk on "fatigue study" emphasized the
importance of the librarian keeping physi-
cally fit in order best to meet these obliga-
tions. Miss Van "Waters of the Juvenile
Court of Los Angeles County told vei"y
effectively in what ways the librarian
can assist with the work of the Juvenile
Court. At the "Publicity round table"
Mr Joeckel of the Bei-keley Public Library
demonstrated the use of graphs as vivid
means of showing the development of a
librarj'. Newspaper and other types of
publicity were also discussed.
The members of the Association had
the privilege in the afternoon of visiting
the Henry E. Huntington Library at San
Marino. Arrangements were made by the
Chamber of Commerce for the transporta-
tion of the visitors from the hotel to the
San Marino estate of Mr Huntington
where the world-famous library is located.
Dr. George "^^'^atson Cole, librarian of the
Huntington LibraiT, was host to the
large group of visitors during the after-
noon. The Gutenberg Bible was one of
the very special treasures on view. After
leaving the Huntington Library the visit-
ore had a drive around Pasadena and tea
was served at the Spanish room of the
Yroman bookstore. The trip was a de-
lightful ending to a very interesting meet-
ing. There was a record attendance, about
480 librarians and friends being present
during the meeting. The thanks of the
members are due the officers of 1923^1924,
Miss Drake, Mr Parkinson, and Miss Gib-
son, for such as successful meeting.
On Thursday, May 1st, the County
Librarians met for a special session on
county library work, Mr Ferguson pre-
siding.
The county librarians responded to roll
call with a two-minute statement of
"something accomplished, something
done." but as the present writer is not a
shorthand reporter it is imiwssible to
give a full account of all the interesting
things that they are doing.
Mrs Linn reported for the sign commit-
tee that the county library signs may
again be obtained. The price is .$4.7r)
each in lots of ten or more, or .$.").!. ") in
smaller numbers.
Miss Provines, the treasurer, reported
•f'.jT.SiO in the treasury and reminded us
that the convention fee of one dollar was
now due and payable.
After luncheon there was a discussion
of several interesting library questions.
Most interesting of all, to judge from the
discussion, was the question of a visiting
instructor in book mending, the general
opinion being that if it were possible to
have such an instructor, it would be
most useful.
Miss McCardle read a paper on "The
best new books for the teachei-s' library,"
which she informed us was written by
Anne Bell Bailey of her staff. She also
agreed to send to any librarian a copy of
the list of books recommended which will
be very useful to all of us.
Miss JNIargaret W. Smith of the Santa
Clara County Library told of "A new
assistant's experience with school work,"
telling of her work with the schools this
past year.
^Nliss Provines told in a delightful way
of her work with the State Prison.

Mrs Babcock read the report of the
resohitious committee on the resignation
of Miss' Celia Gleason as county librarian
of Los Angeles County, as follows :
"We, the County Librarians of Califor-
nia in convention assembled, desire to
express to Miss Celia Gleason our profound
appreciation of her years of faithful and
efficient service as Librarian of the Los
Angeles County Free Library, our un-
shaken and unsliakable confidence in her
integrity, lienor, and ability as a woman,
as an executive, and as a public official.
"We desire to assure her of our love,
our loyalty, and our profound regret and
sorrow over her resignation as Librarian
of the Los Angeles County Free Librarj',
whicli under her skillful and efficient man-
agement has developed into tlie largest
and most effective institution of its kind,
not only in California, but in the United
States, and in which we, as County Li-
brarians, feel a deep professional pride
and appreciation, because of its remarka-
ble development and snlendid achieve-
ment."
The county librarians and their assist-
ants had dinner together on Wednesday
night, followed by Miss Hadden's Mon-
terey County Library film, a moving pic-
ture taken by Miss Hadden's brother of a
trip over Monterey County, visiting
branches and schools. It made some of
the librarians who do not ride horseback
feel that Miss Hadden has some special
problems in her county.
There is one really dreadful thing
about a County Library meeting and that
is the saying good-bye for another year,
but it had to be done and the fifteenth
annual California County Librarians' con-
vention was over.
HOW THE CALIFORNIA STATE LIBRARY CAN BE OF ASSISTANCE
TO LOCAL LAW LIBRARIES, COURTS AND ATTORNEYS.
By Herbert Y. Clayton, Law and Legislative Reference Librarian,
California State Library.
The local law libraries of California —
county, bar association, and private law
Iil>raries — vary greatly in the extent and
variety of their contents, from those con-
taining possibly nothing but a fairly re-
cent edition of our codes, and maybe also
one or more of our recent statutes, up to
the county law library containing some
fifty thousand or more volumes.
As is said by Frederick C. Hicks, li-
brarian of the Columbia University Law
Library, in his recent book entitled
"Materials and Methods of Legal Re-
search," on pages 283 and 284 :
"Few lawyer's are able to possess all of
the law books that they would like to
have. The young lawyer especially must
limit himself to a selection of books.
Often he can not own what he considers
to be the desirable minimum ; such as the
reports of the highest court of his state,
the latest revision of laws, the codes, local
practice books, and a few treatises. Many
can add to the above only a set of anno-
tated reports covering a wide I'ange of
cases and containing useful comments on
other cases, or the National Reporter cov-
ering their own and adjoining states.
Others possess also a comprehensive di-
gest, or an alphabetically arranged text ;
such as Ruling Case Law, or Corpus
Juris. But whatever the scope of one's
personal collection, the time usually comes
when it will not suffice. The needs of
legal research are often very extensive, so
that recoui"se must be had to large law
libraries."
What ]Mr Hicks says iu regard to pri-
vate law libraries is also just as true of
the smaller county law libraries, and even
the largest of them are at times unable
to supply all of the books and other
material that their patrons need. When
liiis situation arises, why shouldn't they
call upon other law libraries in their vicin-
ity for the desired publications, and if
they are not available locally, Avhy not
then check the matter up to the State
Library? That is in the main the system
now followed in the county free libraries;
and should not the local law libraries,
upon which the average well trained judge
and lawyer place so much reliance for
material upon which to base their opinions
or arguments, follow a somewhat similar
procwlure? The local law library can not
ordinarily afford to own all of the law
books that its patrons need, even if it
were possible for it to procure them.
Many law books are out of print, or rare,
and costly and their purchase even when
available is not advisable for any but the
larger law libraries. The books that
should be purchased by the attorney, or
192
NEWS NOTES OF CALIFORNIA LIBRARIES.
[July, 1924
the local law library, are those that he,
or its patrons, need most ; and those
that he or it can not afford to own should
be borrowed from other law libraries as
the need for them arises.
The county law library should know
what books are possessed by the other
law libraries of that particular county.
This can be accomplished by means of a
union card catalog- maintained in the
county law library. This catalog should
contain at least one card for each law
book (not each coi>y of ^ai book) to be
found in th^ various law libraries in the
county. Upon this card (either upon its
face or back, or upon a supplemental
card) should be stamped or written the
names of tlie libraries containing that par-
ticular book (or edition thereof). The
patrons of all of the law libraries in the
county would soon come to realize the
extreme value of the union catalog and
would insist on its always being kept right
up to date. The woi'k of preparing and
maintaining such a catalog Avould be com-
paratively light, and even in the more
heavily populated counties should not
prove burdensome.
Besides the resources of all the law
libraries in the county, there should be
availalile to the courts and • attorneys
thereof, through the county law library,
the resources of the county free library
and also of the various independent cit.y
libraries of the county. It is frequently
necessary for an attorney to use scientific
treatis'es in the preparation and argu-
ment of his cases, political and economic
works and general literature in the prep-
aration of addresses for special occasions,
and a wide variety of material with wlaich
to keep abreast of the times. Wliy should
he not obtain these through the one li-
brary in the county with which he has
almost daily contact? Such a system of
ihterlibrary book loans within the coun-
ties themselves is certainly both feasible
and practicable. Even with such an
arrangement there would frequently be
times when it would be advisable to call
upon the State Library for assistance.
In the law department of the California
State Library are to be found a practi-
cally complete collection of the reports of
the decisions of the courts', digests of deci-
sions, the codes, statutes, and session laws,
and the legal periodicals, not only of this
country but of all the countries of which
English is the official language. General
digests and legal encyclopedias of the
United States and of England are also
available. A large number of the text-
books published in this country, and a
good selection from those pu^blished in
Canada and England are there also. Most
of the printed proceedings of the bar asso-
ciation of the various states are on its
shelves, as is also a collection of legal
miscellany covering trial tactics, legal
history, legal essays, etc. It also has a
very good collection of trials. Last, but
not least in value to courts and attorneys,
it has a bound collection of the printed
records and briefs filed in the California
Supreme Court and in the California Dis-
trict Courts of Appeal dating back to the
early clays of those courts and coming
right down to the last published volumes
of the reports of decisions thereof. There
are some sixty thousand books all told in
the law department of the California
State Library.
The general reference department of
that librai*y with its extensive resources
in all fields of literature, useful arts,
sciences, engineering, history, etc., is a
veritable mine of valuable information on
almost any subject that is liable to engage
tlie attention of any of our law library
patrons. The constitutional histories,
biographies and speeches of eminent
.iudges, lawyers and statesTaen of all ages,
books on handwriting, forgery, inks,
poisons, chemistry, medicine, debating, and
surveying are all books that lawyers fre-
quently need to consult, and are there
waiting to serve them.
Tlie documents department, as is re-
peatedly stated in News Notes of Cali-
fornia Libraries, "aims to collect, arrange
and make available government publica-
tions, federal, state, city and foreign."
Of its collection those probably of most
interest to judges and lawyers are : Inter-
state commerce commission reports, Treas-
ur,v decisions. Public land decisions. Court
of claims reports. Patent decisions, Deci-
sions of the Comptroller of the Treasury.
Treasury decisions under internal revenue
laws of the U. S., Opinions of the Attor-
neys General of the LT. S., Opinions of the
.Judge Advocates General of the Army,
reports of the various oflicers, boards,
commissions, departments, etc., of this

statr, of tha several states in the Union
and of the United States government, the
Congressional Record, and the legislative
bills and resolutions of our own state
Ic.aislature and of Congress.
The California department, to quote
again from Netcs Notes of Galifornm
Libraries, "aims to have a thoroughly
good collection of books on the history and
description, resources and industries of the
slate, as well as the works of CaJifomia
authors in all departments of literature.
These are made acces'sible by means of a
card catalog. Full names and biographical
sketches of California authors, artists,
musicians, pioneers and early settlers are
being secured, together with their photo-
graphs. The collection of bound periodi-
cals is qnitv^ large. The department also
contains aliout 7000 bound volumes of
newspapers, a file of which is being in-
dexed with reference to the histoid of the
state." The newspapers are to the lawyer
undoubtedly the most valuable material in
the department. They may not be with-
drawn from the library, l)ut cameragraph
copies of legal notices and other matter
therein will he furnished by the library
at cost.
The Books for tlie Blind dei)artmenl
contains some fifteen thousand books em-
bossed in the various types in common use
among blind readei-s. While none of the
books is of a legal nature still many of
them would undoubtedly be a welcome
addition to the reading of the attorneys
of this state wlio are afflicted with
blindness.
The great hulk of the material in the
State Library is subject to loan at any
time. The material not Loaned consists of
encyclopedias, digests, dictionaries, in-
dexes to periodicals, and other reference
material, much of which will be found in
almost any library. It also includes news-
papers, rare books, some government pub-
lications, and some unbound material.
However, the court reports, statutes,
codes, session laws, legal textbooks,
periodicals, bound court records, and legal
miscellany, belonging to the law depart-
ment, and most of the material in the
other depai'tments of the library that law-
yers would be liable to have occasion to
use, are available for circulation.
Material to be used away from Sacra-
mento should be requested through the
county free library in counties having such
a library, otherwise through the nearest
city library. The request may be filed
with the county law library, or with the
local city library, which will foi-ward it
to the county free library. In cas'e it has
the requested material on its shelves, or
at one of its branches not too distantly
removed, the request will if possible be
filled therefrom ; otherwise the request
will be forwarded to the State Library.
The local library will forward the request
direct to the State Library in case there
is no county free library in that county.
In forwarding the request to the State
Library the county free library may desig-
nate that the material is to be sent direct
to the library originally requesting it, the
county fi-ee library in any case guarantee-
ing the return of the material. Transpor-
tation on books is paid by the borrowing-
library. Books are Loaned for a period
of five weeks, subject to renewal for an
additional period of two weeks, with the
understanding, however, that they may be
recalled by the State Library in case they
are needed by a state officer, or if in the
opinion of the state librarian a recall is
fair and expedient. State officers (judges
of .superior courts included) are entitled
to borrow books direct from the State Li-
brary, and attorneys are accorded the
same privilege upon the presentation of a
request signed l)y a supreme, appellate
or superior judge, or other state oflSicer.
The State Library maintains a free
employment bureau that helps to bring in
touch with each other librarians and li-
brary assistants desiring employment or a
change of location and libraries having
vacancies on their staffs to fill. This
service is for law librarians and law
libi'aries and other special libraries as well
as for general libraries and those trained
for that line of library work. It is a
service that should be taken advantage of
by all kinds of libi'aries and librarians.
The State Library will at any time be
pleased to give advice to other law libra-
ries of the state regarding the purchase
of additional books. Libraries desiring
to avail themselves of this service should
indicate in a general way just what their
present collection consists of, what books
they have calls for and do not have, and
an estimate of the amount of money that
they will haA'e available for additions.

NEWS NOTES OF CALIFORNIA LIBRARIES.
[ Juljr, 1924
Funds should ordinarily be invested: (1)
in boolis that will be of permanent value ;
(2) in books of reference that may in the
course of a fev^r years become more or
less out of date but that will in the mean-
time be used sufficiently to justify their
purchase, and (3) in standard textbooks.
Most textbooks, codes and statutes of
other states and countries, foreign reports,
and American side reports (reports other
than those containing the decisions of the
courts of last resort of the various states)
can be borrowed from the State Library
whenever needed, and their purchase by
the smaller library is ordinarily a waste
of funds.
The State Library has citators for the
United States reports. National Reporter
System, and most of the state reports,
and Rose's Notes on United States Re-
ports and similar sets covering the reports
of some of the states. Some of these pub-
lications include constitutional and statu-
tory citations; and the library also has
exten.sively annotated sets of codes and
compiled statutes of other states.
If anyone wants to know where a con-
stitutional or statutory provision has been
cited or construed, or a case has been
cited, affiirmed, reversed, modified, or dis-
tinguished, he may write to the State Li-
brary, and the desired information will be
immediately forwarded to him.
The California Law Review should be
in every law library in the state that con-
tains more than five hundred volumes.
Other legal periodicals may be borrowed
from the State Library or consulted at it
or at one of the other large law libraries.
Every law library that contains more
than one thousand volumes should own
a set of the indexes to legal periodicals,
the current volumes of which are pub-
lished by the American Association of
Law Libraries. They are a set of keys
that will unlock for the lawyer an ex-
tremely valuable mine of information, and
that will help him to keep abreast of the
current developments of the law. These
indexes ai"e issued quarterly and then
cumulated each year into annual volumes.
They index practically all of the leading
legal periodicals of the United States and
of the British Empire, as well as the pro-
ceedings of the various bar associations of
the United States and Canada. Some ai'ti-
cles of a semilegal nature published in
other periodicals are also covered.
If a library does not contain a set of
these indexes and' it wishes to know what
has been published in the legal periodicals
along any particular line, a request may
be sent to the State Library the same as
for a book, the request stowing the
specific subject to be looked up, the period
of time to be covered, whether merely a
list of the articles published is desired or
a list and one or more of the leading
articles.
Every law library of more than one
thousand volumes should contain at least
one legal directory of comparatively re-
cent publication. The two leading ones
(Hubbell's and Martindale's) contain not
only lists of attorneys practicing in the
various cities of this and other states and
the Canadian provinces, but also excellent
summaries of the laws of those states and
provinces, of the outlying possessions of
the United States, and of Mexico and a
few other 'foreign jurisdictions. The State
Library will be pleased to furnish any of
the information contained in these publi-
cations, except that relating to the stand-
ing of the various attorneys listed therein
— which information the library agrees
with the publishers not to circulate.
The State Library also maintains in
connection with its law department a
legislative reference service whose pur-
pose is to supply members of the legisla-
ture with information relative to past,
current, and prospective legislation. While
this service is primarily for the members
of the legislature the law libraries and
attorneys of the state are also urged to
make use of it.
The State Library maintains a "Union
Catalog" in which are to be found cards,
alphabetically arranged, covering practi-
cally all of the books to be found in the
county free libraries of the state, in some
of the city libraries, and many in the gen-
eral librai'ies of the University of Cali-
fornia, Leland Stanford University, and
the University of Southern California.
When the State Library receives a request
for a book that it does not have in its
own collection this Union Catalog is con-
sulted and the library or individual re-
questing the book is notified as to where
it may be found. So far it contains but
few cards for law books as only a conj-

STATE AND LOCAI. LAW LIBRARIES.

Ijaratively few law books are to be found
iu the general libraries of the state, and
to date only a very few of the law li-
braries of the state have sent in cards
covering their collections.
It is not necessary that one have a
highly developed imaginative faculty in
order to be able to visualize the general
benefit to the law libraries of the state
of having in one place a catalog covering
all of the law books to be found in all
of the public libraries of the state. The
larger law libraries contain many law
books the use of which is infrequent and
the cost of which is prohibitive to the
smaller libraries. These boojfs would be
just as valuable to the libraries that own
them, and of more value to the courts and
the lawyers of the state in general, if
they were all listed in the Union Catalog
at the State Library, from which they
could be readily located for anyone in
any part of the state.
A short time ago the State Library
received a request for the laws of the
Republic of Honduras relating to aliens
and their property. The library did not
l)ossess the desired book or books and the
Fnion Catalog contained no cards for
Honduras statutes or codes. It imme-
diately wrote to four of the larger law
libraries of the state to ascertain if they
])ossessed a book or books giving the de-
sired information, but by the time that it
had received a favorable response from
one of them the party for whom the in-
formation was desired had referred the
matter to an attorney in a large eastern
city. If cards for the desired books had
been in the Union Catalog one California
attorney would have earned a fee that, as
it was, went to an eastern attorney.
The main things that the public law
libraries of the state lack at the present
time are: (1) a vision of a more exten-
sive as well as' a more intensive service
in their own communities, and (2) a
spirit of cooperation that will link them
up with the other public — general as well
as law — libraries of the state. They
buy books and hoard them up, apparently
for no other puii)Ose than their use right
in the local library itself. Most of the
county law libraries, however, do permit
attorneys to withdraw books for use be-
fore courts in session in the court house,
but at least one such librarj' is reported
as charging a fee for the privilege. Most
of them not only will not loan books to
other libraries but they seem to consider
it to be entirely beyond their sphere to
supplement their own collections with
books borrowed from other libraries.
Why should not a county law library
freely loan its books to any and all of the
judges, lawyers, law students, and county
officials and enuijloyees of the countj',
whether located at the county seat or
elsewhere? The books therein are public
property and undoubtedly the general pub-
lic would be better served by the above
mentioned classes were they allowed a
wide latitude in the use of such books.
Those people have ordinarily to be at
their own places of business during li-
brary hours and can frequently make
better use of the books away from the
library than they can at it. W(ho is
there in the state today among the
patrons of the county free libraries who
would advocate that those libraries should
discontinue the loaning of books? As a
nratter of fact, why should not the books
in the county law libraries circulate just
as freely as' the books in the county free
libraries? Are the books in the county
law libraries any the less public property
than the books in the county free libra-
ries?
If a young man or a young wom'an in
a remote part of a county desires to study
law, why should not he or she be allowed
to borrow the necessary books through the
local branch of the county free library?
We have no law prohibiting county law
libraries from loaning their books through
the county free libi'aries and their
branches. Would it not be better for the
books to be worn out than for them to
stand idle on the shelves of the libraries
week after week and month after month?
Undoubtedly the librarians and library
boai'ds that are unwilling to cooperate with
other libraries do not realize the value of
cooperation. This is an age of coopera-
tion and nowhere is it more extensively
practiced on a large scale than in this
state. We hear it discus&ed on every
hand. The county free library system of
the state is a cooperative scheme, and
the county free libraries hare certainly
prospered. Why should not the county
law libraries of the state fall into line and
196

render a service that will be comparable
to that I'endered by their sister libraries V
In the county free library law there is
a section making possible a close connec-
tion between the county law library and
the county fi'ee library. It provides that
the board of supervisors may enter into
a contract or agreement with the board of
law library trustees, whereby the law li-
brary may be conducted by the county
librarian and her staff for a compensation
to be named therein. Such an arrange-
ment assures the county law library of
expert library service. Some of the coun-
ties are now working under this plan,
Fresno and Kern counties being striking
examples of the practical utility thereof.
ilodern appliances and modern methods
should be installed in the public law
libraries of th« state just as they have
been in the majority of the other public
libraries thereof. They are certainlj
Ijroving their value in the libraries that
have adopted them.
Every law library of any size should
have a good card catalog covering all of
the books in its collection ; and the books
should lie cataloged according to approved
library methods. The writer recommends
that textbooks, casebooks, and series of
rep'Orts on special subjects be classified
according to the Dewey decimal classifica-
tion scheme. This was done in the Kern
County Law Library when Mrs Julia G.
Babcock, librarian of the Kern C'Ounty
Free Library, took it under her supervi-
sion ; and a year's experience in that li-
brary converted the writer from an advo-
cate of the author arrangement of text-
books and legal miscellany to that of an
advocate of the arrangement thereof
according to the decimal classification.
While that classification is not as satis-
factory for law books as it might be, yet
his experience is that it is a big improve-
ment over the commonly accepted author
arrangement.
In regard to the subject headings to be
used in your card catalog the writer sug-
gests that you procure from the Library
of Congress its Tentative Headings and
Cr0iss-R?feren'ces for a Subject Cata-
logue of American and English Law, and
that it be your guide. You will most
likely find it necessary to add subject
headings and cross-references from time
to time, but do not substitute other head-
ings for those used therein unless you
are firmly convinced that it will help to
make your catalog more usable. Always
bear in mind that a subject heading suit-
able for use in general catalogs may when
used in a law catalog, on account of a
difference between the popular and the
egal meaning thereof, apply to an entirely
different •ov more limited class of books.
On L. C. cards you will find that the
subject headings to be used in law cata-
logs are enclosed by brackets. A law
dictionary is also one of the necessary
tools of a cataloger of law books.
Every public law library should also
have in operation a good modern system
of charging books to borrowers, and of
notifying borrowers when books are over-
due.
It pays to advertise in a law library as
well as elsewhere. New books should be
displayed in a conspicuous place in the
library for a few weeks. It would be well
to post above or near them a label calling
particular attention to the fact that they
are new books. One or more bulletin
boards should also occupy conspicuous
places in the liljrary. One of them might
well bear the heading: Books Recently
Ordered ov Received. The other might lie
headed : Books That Will Be Borrowed
From State Library Upou Request. Be-
low the respective headings can be dis-
played publishers" circulars regarding new
or forthcoming books that may be of
interest to patrons of the library.
Do not be afraid to stimulate a desire
for publications that your library does
not possess and has not the money to
purchase — the books in your State Li-
brary are at your service. Also please
feel perfectly free to check up to the
State Library at any time any and all of
your vexatious library problems.
As law librarians, do not neglect, to
read the current literature relating to
library work in genei'al as well as that
devoted specifically to law libraries and
other special libraries. Library problems
are pretty much the same in law libraries
and in other special libraries as they are
in general libraries ; and methods and
practices successfully applied in one li-
brary can ordinarily be readily adapted so
as to accomplish the same end in almost
any other library. You can test this out
for yourself by borrowing from the State

Library, and reading', any i>iii' ui" more of
a uuinlnT of t-urrout books aud iiamphlet.s
on library economy. In addition you
should by all meau.s own. study, and use
a copy of Hicks' Materials and ^lethods
of Tjegal Research. It treats of law li-
braries, and of law books and their use,
and contains an excellent bibliographical
nTanual. It is a guide that law librarians
have long needed.
The librarians of the county free li-
braries of the state meet in convention
each year, usually at the same place as.
and immediately preceding or following
the sessions of, the California Library
Association. There they discuss their
work and learn to know each other better.
A\1!iy would it not be a fine thing for the
law librarians of the state to hold a con-
vention each year at the same place and
time as the convention 'of the librarians
III" the county free libraries? There is a
iinlional organization of law librarians
known as the American Association of
Law Libraries. It holds its annual con-
\-entions at the same time and place as
the American Library Association. ]Many
of the leading law librarians of the coun-
try attend these sessions. It is due to its
efforts and encouragement that the in-
dexes to legal periodicals covering the
period of from 1S98 to date have been
iniblished. It was also responsible for
the recent issuance of a check list of the
bar a.ssociation proceedings of the L^nited
States and Canada. The problems dis-
cussed at its meetings are those of the
smaller law libraries as well as the lai'ger.
Its proceedings, including the papers read
at its various sessions, have been pub-
lished in the Law Library .Tournal which
is issued as a supplement to the numbers
of the Index to Legal Periodicals, and
Mhich is also now being issued separately.
A perusal of its pages will be a help to
.uiy law iibrarian in llic way of inspira-
tion aud new ideas of value in his daily
work. A state association of law libra-
rians would necessarily be more limited in
its sphere of action, but the law libra-
rians of this state certainly have prob-
lems enough confronting them to devote
two days each year to their discussion in
a convention where there would be a free
interchange of ideas and plans. Not only
that, but they would become acquainted
with each other, and cooperation would
follow just as naturally as night follows
day.
A library organizer from the State Li-
brary goes out over the state to assist in
the organization of new county free li-
braries, and to help all of them to do
better and more effective work. She
discusses their problems with them, tells
them what other libraries are doing and
how they are doing it, and helps them
in any and eveiy way that slie can.
When advisable she talks to the memljers
of their boards, to clubs, to societies, and
to others that are or may be interested
in the work that the county library is
doing or should be doing in their com-
munities. At the presient time there is
not sufficient demand to warrant a similar
service to county law libraries. But if
the time should come when such a work
could profitably be taken up, the State
Library will make every effort to provide
such service. Whatever we do to build
up our local law libraries and cause them
to render better service to the courts and
attorneys of the state will be a helji
toward the better and more efficient ad-
ministration of justice therein. May the
day speedily come when all of the law
liliraries of the state will be working har-
moniously together on the problems that
confront them.

The School Dei>artment has had a

of the schools and the opening of those
in the mountains. It has been necessary,
on account of lack of room at the main
library, to leave mojt of the books at the
school-house through the summer. The
books have been checked up and this has
taken a great deal of time.
There has been excellent co-operation
from the teachers and most of the school
libraries were in good condition.
The new district of Pinedale has joined
the library. This was formerly served as
a part of the Lincoln District.

Several trips have been made to the

found in good condition. Mrs Lofberg,
who has charge of the camp libraries for
the Southern California Edison Company,
is doing a fine work and the men appre-
ciate the books very much. They read a

On April 23 Mr Bertram Grosvenor
Goodhue, Architect of the Central Library
building, died suddenly in New York City
of heart failure. His. death was a severe
loss to 'the architectural profession in
general and was a grievous shock to his
friends in Los Angeles and to the members
of the Library Board. Fortunately plans
for the Central Library building were
practically completed, which simplified the
situation arising after his death. After
conferences with the legal representatives
of all parties concerned, an agreement has
been reached, in accordance with which
the Associate Architect, Mr Carleton J\I.
Winslow, will complete the contract with
the Library Board and will furnish
detailed drawings and the necessary super-
vision during construction. In fact the
plans and specifications have ah'eady been
completed and bids have been advertised
for and August 13 set as the day on
which they should be received.
Early in June ihe contract for th<^
rough grading of the Central Library site
and excavation for foundations was com-
pleted, about 75,000 cubic yards having
been removed at a cost of approximately
$56,000.
The City Council has sold the balance
of the bonds of the 1921 issue, amounting
to $1,333,000, and also the entire issue
of 1023, amounting to $.500,000, which

was voted for the purpose of acquiring
rlie Flower .street frontage of the Central
I-.ibrary site.
Owing to certain conditions attached,
Ihe City Council saw fit to reject the
pi'oposed gift of Miss Arline Barnsdall.
This was eight acres of ground surround-
ing her residence on Olive Hill, and the
residence itself which she intended for a
branch library.
On May Gth, by an overwhelming
majority, the voters of Los Angeles, ap-
itrovcd a new City Charter. In this
charter the library tax rate is increased
tive cents to seven cents on every one hun-
dred dollars worth of assessed valuation.
On .June 10th the last of the branch
libraries to be constructed from funds
appropriated from the 1921 bond issue
was opened. This was the branch at 10th
and Gaffey Streets in San Pedro. The
total cost was approximately .$75,000, of
which .$10,000 was spent for the site.
During this quarter two branches have
been removed to larger quarters, the El
Sereno Branch to -5022 Huntington Drive
and the Gardena Branch to 827^ Palms
Street, Gardena. In these new locations
it is expected that they will enter upon a
new period of usefulness.
On the first of .Tune the library suffered
a great loss in the resignation of Miss M.
Grace Smitli, principal of the fiction de-
partment, who was forced to give up her
work on account of poor health. In her
place Miss Katharine D. Kendig was ap-
IKjiuted. Miss Kendig had been acting as
principal of the Cahuenga Branch Li-

In May we displayed in our sliowcase
some books which had been subjected to
improper handling. On each was a ticket,
to explain its presence. On top of the

life had been shortened by abuse, not by
legitimate wear. The newspapers gave

was given permission to partition off one
half of a bungalow on the Coloma School
grounds, making a distinct room for the
Library. The walls were covered with
gray beaver board, new shelving and fur-
niture added, which, with the bright col-
ured posters and pictures, have made the
room most attractive, A corner was set
apart for a special collection of children's

May 20th our library suffered a great
affliction in the sudden death of Mr H. E.
Swan, who had been a member of the Li-

president for the last fourteen years. His
place can never be filled.
Our basement having been finished for
the purpose, the juvenile department was
moved there and opened April 24th. The
change seems to be a success and popular.

periud than the last three months inas-
niiich as the apportionment for the year
is .i^lOlMJ more than last year and part of
it was received in February. However,
eveiyone will no doubt rejoice with those
benefited even though the news be late.
Contrary to wihat mig:ht be expected iwssi-
bly, no advance in salaries was made
because those in authority, at the sugges-
tion of the librarian, thought the ^^-iser
tliinjr to do was to tint the interior and
\nrnish the woodwork and on the outside
paint all wood. As nothing had been doue
txcept vairnish the floors three or four
limes since the building was opened to the
public in Aiugust, 1913, it seemed that
much good would be the result. Block
lettei-s have been placed on the building
notifying the public that this is the
'■UPLAND PUBLIC LIBRARY," a
great addition and really adding to the
beauty of the building as it looks as
though it had always been there. Awn-
ings also have been placed on the
^^ est side over the three groups of win-
dows and ventilators, making the room
cooler for readers and making a softer
light alsfl. Since the city ti'ustees and
city engineer have moved down town, the
room formerly used by tlie city engineer
has been transformed into a Baby Con-
ference room, beautifully decorated and
furnished by the Red Cross Chapter.
This is open every Tuesday for the benefit
of the babies of this vicinity and is in
charge of the city nurse, Mrs Lottie Fuller,
and Dr. Mary Craig "Williamson. A long
closet used formerly by the city engineer
has had a door cut through one end and
shelving put up and in there are kept
magazines that may not be kept in filing
cases as their value may be only tempo-
raiy.
The first inventory ever taken of the
library was in January, 1924, and to the
eredit of all concerned may it be said that
but 87 books were missing that could not
be accounted for in some way.
^liss Aurelia Ilarwood made a gift of
a $100 check to the library fund for books
and R. R. Harrington one of $50 for the

East San Diego, the largest incorpora-

last fall voted to become a part of San
Diego. The election was contested, how-
ever, and annexation can only be assured
by decision of the supreme court. As a
temporary expedient the San Diego
County Free Librai-y has agreed to run
the East San Diego Library, under con-
tract with the city of San Diego, until
January, 1925. Tlie San Diego city
council has by special ordinance appro-
priated funds to remunerate the county
for current expenses. By next year it is
expected that the controversy will be set-
tled by a court decision.

the library by the Parent Teachers Asso-
ciation. In the Spanish quarter, known as
Old Town, the P. T. A. of the Fremont
School secured the use of a room in a dis-
used school building from the Board of
Education, fitted it with book cases and
reading tables, and for a year paid one of
the women of the neighborhood to issue
books to children and grown-ups two
afternoons a week. The books- were sup-
plied by our stations department. Their
use has justified the library trustees in
taking over, from July 1, 1924, all ex-
penses of the little branch. Tlie Parent
Teachers Association of the Florence
School is, as part of a vacation play-
ground in one of the richer sections of the
city, making the same experiment this

the public library will establish a commu-
nity branch, with a trained librarian at

Through the cooperation of the State

tried out whereby the employees of the

We are anxious to know whether the
results will justify the work this has en-
tailed. It did seem as if this scheme
might bring a number of young business

that coming for professional books they
might learn of the number of other treas-
ures that every library holds for those who
know how to use it.

CONFERENCE OF SOME CO-OPER-
ATING AGENCIES CONCERNING
METHODS IN A NUTRITION
PROGRAM FOR CALIFORNIA.
Tlie County Libraries' representative
sat in conference with the Co-operating
Agencies at Agriculture Hall, June 11,
1024.
The purpose of the meeting, as stated
l>y the chairman, was to become more
familiar with the plan of work of each
representative ; to know how it is being
(lone and to see if opportunity offers to
correlate the work at any point better
than it is at present.
In order to cover the program a short
talk was given by each organization's
representative answering three suggested
questions :
1. Purpose or goal of the organization
as regards rural life in California.
2. In what way it touches nutrition
Avork.
3. Facilities of your organization for
accomplishing this work.
Contra Costa County was asked to
demonstrate its progress in nutrition work
in its different departments, this county
having been used by the Agricultural
Department as a demonstration unit for
nutrition work. Miss Helen Burling,
Home Demonstration Agent, acted as
chairman of this discussion. Mrs M. M.
Garrett, representing the Farm Bureau
Centers ; Mrs Mabel Tikiob, a project
leader, and Mrs Alice G. "\^^litbeck, the
County Librarian, all gave interesting
notes on nutrition as they saw it. Mrs
AYhitbeck siK»ke of their library buying
health posters and books for the use of
their Home Demonstration Agent and
County Nurse, an interesting work and
one that no doubt most of the county
librarians are doing.
Some very interesting agencies were
represented there and all reported on
their interest and connection with nutri-
tion work. The American Red Cross was
reported on by William Carl Hunt, man-
ager Pacific Division. Avho gave a very
enlightening talk on their connection with
nutrition work in California, The Cali-
fornia Federation of Women's Clubs'
interest was given by Mrs Sarah Rails-
back. California Tuberculosis Associa-
tion's important work was told by Mrs
Ethel D. Watts, Mrs Grace Stanley,
Commissioner of Elementary Schools,
presented the interest of that department
in nutrition. The State Board of Health
was represented by Ellen E. Stadtmuller,
M.D., Director of Child Hygiene. A
very definite connection with nutrition
work was presented by her. The State
Library's facilities and willingness to
help in this nutrition, as well as every
other good woik for California, was well
presented by Helen M, Bruner, Sutro
Branch of the State Library. The State
Farm Bureau Federation was represented
by F. L. Selleck. The Dairy Council
work was given by S. H. Greene. Mrs
Hugh Bradford, State President of tho
Parent-Teachers' Associations, gave a
very interesting outline of the close con-
nection of their clubs" interest in nutri-
tion, especially in the schools. The county
library's purpose and goal were presented
by County Librarian Mary Barmby. She
emphasized the fact that the county libra-
ries are the channels through which much
of interest and value is constantly being
sent to all parts of the state and that if
county libraries could send cases of bees
or a skeleton on call they would no doubt
gladly help to send nutrition in the form
of books, charts, posters and lists.

County Libraries' Representative.

SPECIAL LIBRARIES ASSOCIATION
OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
The annual business meeting of the
Special Libraries Association of Southern
California wa.s held on June 24, 1924, in
the Library of the First National Bank
with Miss Alice Scheck as hostess. The
meeting was called to order at seven
o'clock by the President, Mr Marion.
The election of officers' resulted as
follows :
President, Miss Alice Scheck, Fii-st Na-
tional Bank, Vice-Pres., Mr B. E. EM-
warAs, Standard Oil Company ; Sec-
Treas., Miss Rose Marie Purcell, Southern
California Edison Co. ; Executive Commit-
tee, OflBcers and Mr Guy E. Marion and
Miss Mary Ramona Bean.
A letter from Mr Redstone, President of
the Special Libraries Association, was re-
ported by Mr Marion, who gave the sub-
stance of it as concerning the vote of this
Association on the change of the Consti-
tution to be acted upon at the Annual
Meeting of the Special Libraries Associa-
tion and asking that we request affiliation
if the change was adopted. This brought
about much discussion as to the intent of
the law and how it would affect this
organization. Miss Scheck moved that
Mr Marion write for specific information
on the subject. The motion was carried
and the following suggestions were made
as to points to be submitted : Proportion
of dues to be refunded, what proportion of
members must pay, how would institu-
tional membership be handled, if member-
ship by institutions were taken might it
not be arranged for more than one to be
member, etc.
Committee Reports: Miss Fossler re-
ported for the Committee on the Union
List. Miss Fossler said that more assist-
ance would be needed soon to put lists
together. She asked for instinictions on
symbols, etc. Miss O'Toole reiwrted for
the Membership Committee, in the absence
of Miss Bean, Chairman. She told of
letters sent out to the various libraries
and gave list of names of those becoming
members. Miss Scheck, Chairman of the
Methods Committee, reported the trial of
a plan for each meeting of a short discus-
sion of methods and spoke of the work
planned for the committee if we affiliate
with the Special Libraries Association.
Mr Marion, chairman of the Directory
Committee, reported that one meeting had
been held, a questionnaire prepared which
would soon be ready for distribution. Miss
Scheck reported for the Special Commit-
tee appointed to act at the meeting of the
California Libraries Association. There
was no Special Libi-aries Section and the
failure to have meeting was not the fault
of Miss Drake, President, as program had
to be printed before arrangements had
been made.
Mr Marion closed his term of office
with a few words of thanks for co-oi)era-
tion during his tej."m, introduced the new

officers and gave the meeting into the
hands of the incoming President, Miss
Alice Scheck.
^liss Scheck thanked the members for
the honor given her and pledged her wil-
lingness to carry out the wishes of the
society and serve to the best of her
ability.
There being no other business the meet-
ing was adjourned until fall.

REFERENCE DEPARTMENT.
Beulah Mumm, in charge.
The Reference Department furnishes
information to any inquirer. It furnishes
books to public libraries on request of
the librarian, and to any other educa-
tional institution on request of its official
head or its librarian ; to individuals
through the signature of a state officer,
of the Librarian of the local library or
of the official head of any other educa-
tional institution or on receipt of a $5.00
deposit : to a club or grange on request
of its president, secretary or librarian.
In counties having county free libraries,
all requests must be made through the
county free library.
The questionnaire sent out in May
dealing with the use of the two copies
of the reprint of recent accessions
from Xeics Xotes of California Libraries
showed conditions that seem worth dis-
cussion. A few libraries reiwrt that the
two copies are clipped and mounted
according to the plan adopted long ago.
Several libraries report that this is not
done on account of lack of time — a situa-
tion easily imagiued. Answers from
many of the libraries, however, show that
the purpose of sending out two copies has
not been understood.
The plan is that the two copies should
be clipped and mounted and the items
filed alphabetically. This would provide
for each librai-j' an author catalog, with
call numbers, of the accessions to the
State Library. Such a file should prove
useful along many lines. Primarily it
would save time. In making requests the
librarian would be saved looking up
author's full name and injpriut, and the
State Library would be saved looking up
the call number. As an aid in book selec-
tion it should be of value. The positive
assurance that a certain title is in the
State Library might often be sufficient
reason for not purchasing. Since the
author's full name and the cla.ssification
number are given, the list would help in
cataloging and classifying. To the pub-
lic eye it would Ix' an crt'ectivc deuion-
stration of cooperation Ijelwccn state and
local libraries.
While the reprints of recent accessions
were first made at the request of some of
the county librarians, they will gladly
be sent to any of the city libraries also,
that care to clip, mount and file them for
the uses suggested.
In ^•iew of the fact that the plan in
regard to recent accession reprints was
not entirely understood by all librarians
the State Library has decided to prepare
a letter to send out to all new county
librarians upon taking office. The letter
will attempt to cover in full all the points
of State Library service. Any sugges-
tion as to details that .should be included
in such a letter will be gladly considered.

Among the gifts of the last quarter
have been over a hundred volumes in
French and a few in English from the
I'ermanent Blind Relief War Fund, and
Ihe first few titles of the sixty-eight to
be donated by the U. S. Veterans'
Bureau. Both these collections are in-
tended primarily for blinded war vet-
erans, but their use is also for blind
civilians as soon as the demand from
veterans has been filled. As there are
but few blinded veterans in California,
the use of these two fine donations is
])raetically at once available for all the
blind of the state.
Home Teaching.
Owing to a decrease in the appropria-
tion for the Library during the present
two years home teaching for the blind was
discontinued by the Liljrary on June 30,
1923.
On December 1, 1923, home teaching
was officially reinstated under the State
Board of Control. Persons knowing of
I>ossible pupils may communicate with the
State Library, or, if in the bay district,

'Includes elementary and high. Formerly number of "high schools" was given in county siiperintendents' reports

[;80 NEWS NOTES OF CALIFORNIA LIBRARIES. [Oct., 1924
CALIFORNIA LIBRARIES— ANNUAL STATISTICS AND
QUARTERLY NEWS ITEMS.
Before Octoiber 1 annual report blanks were sent to all California
libraries listed. Statistics from these annual reports are printed in
this issue. Except when otherwise noted, statistics are for the period
from July 1, 1923, to June 30, 1924.
According to the plan adopted last year, branch library statistics
are omitted under the names of the various branches. They are
included, however, in the general figures given under the main librar3^
On account of the above, high school, public and other libraries,
which are affiliated with a county free library, show, as a rule, statistics
for their own books only and not for county service.
The annual statistics are followed hy quarterly news items covering
the periled July to October, 1924. News items from the annual reports
are given at the end of the statistics, except those that have already
been given in quarterly issues.
In order to keep statistics given herein consistent with figures given
by the State Department of Elducation, and in order that there may not
appear to be a great unexplained drop in the number of school districts
belonging to the county libraries (due to the formation of union dis-
tricts), we have counted all districts in a union district as separate
districts in "number of active school districts that have joined county
libraries." There will in some counties, however, appear to be a
decrease on account of the fact that high school districts this .year
represent the exact number of "districts," while in former years the
County Superintendents' reports have listed number of high schools
rather than districts. Under County Teachers' Libraries number of
districts and number of high schools are both given.
All libraries are listed except elemen-
tary public school and church libraries
and those which belong to private indi-
viduals. They are arranged alphabetically
by place under counties and counties are
arranged alphabetically. To determine
Uie county in which any place is located
see list following these introductory para-
graphs. This list includes locations of
branch libraries, although the branches
are listed only under the main library.
Those libraries are marked with an
asterisk (*) which are not free to the
public for either loan or reference pur-
poses.
Libraries marked with $ are United
States depository libraries ; those marked
with § are depositories for the Official
Gazette of the Patent Office ; those
marked with || are geological depositories ;
those marked with Jf are Library of Con-
gress card depositories.. This information
was rcA-ised in October, 1920.
When a branch has a reading room, it
is indicated by r. r. in the list of branches
under county free library.
The months after newspaper clippings
are abbreviated as follows :

In order that the figures for circulation
may be uniform, current magazines are
Included iu the total whether reported
that way or not.
An effort is being made to have the
statistics uniform in reference to number
of branches. Any distributing point
through which service is given directly
from headquarters is counted as a branch.
For example, in a school with several
classrooms, if ser\ace is given directly to
each classroom separately, each room
served is counted as a branch. But, on
the other hand, if a school district has
joined and both school and community
service are given from one location, such
service is counted as two branches.
There are in California 42 county free
libraries : 4 library district libraries ; 4
union high school district libraries ; 13S
libraries supported by city taxation ; .59
towns or districts with free public
libraries that are included in county free
library service (3.3 under Sec. 3, 2 under
Sec. 4. 12 under Sec. 16,' 12 under Pol. C.
Sec. 4041 ) : 08 law libraries, of which 56
are county law libraries: .58 county
teachers" lihrai'ies: .378 libraries in edu-
cational institution.'*, of which 6 are uui-
xcrsitios, 7 colleges, 7 state teachers col-
leges, 301 jiublic high schools, 57 private
schools and other institutions ; 01 mis-
cellaneous institution libraries : 00 asso-
ciation or .society libraries and 26 sub-
scription libraries. In connection with
the above libraries are 4483 branches
and deposit stations.
There are 246 library buildings, of
which 174 were gifts, and of these gifts
144 are from Andrew Carnegie.
As the libraries are listed under coun-
ties, the following alphabetical list by
