Some  especially  clever  ideas  wei-e 
used  last  fall  by  county  librarians  in 
their  exhibits  at  county  fairs.  Pictures 
of  three  of  the  most  unusual  are  shown 
here  and  pictures  of  several  others  are 
on  file  at  the  State  Library,  from  which 
they  may  be  borrowed. 

Kern  County  Free  Library  used  the 
idea  of  the  library  as  "The  gateway  to 


Inside  the  fence,  the  booth  had  a 
floor  covering-  of  brown  burlap  and  a 
large  rug.  On  the  rear  wall  is  the  Kern 
County  Library  map  showing-  the  dis- 
tributing- points  in  the  county.  One  of 
the  glass  door  book  cases  contains 
books  for  boys  and  girls,  the  other 
books  for  adults.  There  are  two  library 
tables,    numerous    chairs,    and    on    the

knowledge."  The  space  was  16  feet 
square.  Pacific  Board  of  a  soft  ecru 
color  unpainted  was  used  for  three 
walls  and  the  ceiling.  The  illustration 
shows  the  fence  of  white  pickets,  the 
archwaj'  with  the  county  library  sign 
above  the  keystone,  "The  gateway  to

books,  "Business  and  technical,"  "Na- 
ture studies,"  "Animal  life,"  et  cetera. 
On  the  tables  below  the  posters  are  the 
books  themselves.  A  rack,  containing 
the  magazines  recommended  for  chil- 
dren's use,  completes  the  equipment.

latest  on  home  building  and  interior 
decoration,  and  the  new  children's 
books ;  but  the  feature  of  the  booth  was 
the  "log  of  the  county  library,"  repro- 
duced herewith.  The  Assistant  Farm 
Adviser  brought  in  a  real  log  from  the 
woods.  The  County  Librarian  and  her 
assistants  worked  out  and  mounted  on 
a  circular  board  a  graph  representing  a 
cross  section  of  a  tree  with  a  ring  for 


Stanislaus  County  Free  Library  used 
for  its  exhibit  a  little  house  4  by  8  feet 
with  a  high  pitched  roof  rising  about 
14  feet  from  the  ground.  The  outside 
walls  were  gaily  plastered  with  bright 
paper  book  jackets  and  the  roof  shingled 
with  discarded  book  covers.  It  was'  set 
off  by  a  lawn  within  a  green  fence,  with 
bright   flowers  and  sawdust  walks.

each  year  of  the  library's  life,  showing 
the  growth  of  the  library  from  the 
beginning,  giving  the  various  statistics 
in  circular  form.  The  real  log  was 
placed  across  the  end  of  a  table  with 
the  graph  leaning  against  it.  A  large 
magnifying  glass  was  placed  conveni- 
ently near.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  the 
glass  itself  aroused  the  first  interest 
and  drew  the  visitors  in  to  examine 
the  exhibit  at  close  range. 


plays  of  books  and  other  library  mate- 
rial could  be  seen  arranged  on  a  floor 
a  little  below  the  level  of  the  eyes.  The 
groups  of  books  bore  such  legends  as 
'•Big  books,"  "Little  books,"  "Rare  old 
books,"  "Local  authors,"  "Farm  books, ' 
"Business  books,"  et  cetera.  In  one 
window  was  shown  a  county  map  with 
branches  marked.  In  another,  books  for 
the  blind.  There  was  no  door  in  the 
house,    and    there    was    much    speculation 


vol.  22,  no.  1]  LIBRARY    EXHIBITS    AT    COUNTY    FAIRS. 


as  to  how  the  books  were  put  in.  The 
familiar  county  library  sign  identified 
the  building  as  well  as  a  sign  over  the 
window  facing  the  Plaza. 

The  paper  book  covers  were  supplied 
through  the  kindness  of  several  book 
stores,  the  book  covers  for  the  roof  by 
a  library  binder.  The  house  was  con- 
structed by  the   library's  substitute  jani- 


tor and  the  decoration  was  the  joint 
work  of  the  members  of  the  library  staff.

has  been  carried  on  this  year  in  a 
slightly  different  manner  than  in  the 
past.  The  usual  custom  of  buying  texts 
for  the  schools  belonging  to  the  county 
library  during  the  summer  vacation  to 
be  ready  for  the  fall  term  was  not  fol- 
lowed out.  Instead  the  buying  was 
deferred  until  after  the  institutes  which 
were  held  throughout  the  county  the  last 
week  of  September. 

These  institutes  were  planned  by  the 
County  Superintendent  of  Schools  and 
members  of  his  ofiice.  The  County  Li- 
brarian and  Head  of  the  School  Depart- 
ment were  invited  to  attend  these  meet- 
ings in  order  to  confer  and  advise  with 
the  teachers  at  that  time.  Each  Supervisor 
from  the  county  office  outlined  his  work

for  the  coming-  year  making  it  clear  to 
the  teachers  the  texts  to  be  used  by  the 
pupils  and  those  to  be  in  the  hands-  of 
the    teachers. 

The  three  assistant  Superiutendeuts  of 
the  county  office  are  carrying  on  experi- 
ments in  their  respective  districts  with 
three  different  methods  in  silent  reading. 
After  visiting  the  schools  and  ascer- 
taining the  method  best  adapted  to  a  par- 
ticular school  a  list  of  books  desired  for 
their  use  is  give  to  the  county  library. 
These  books  are  then  purchased  and  sent 
to  the  school.  Purchase  of  books-  has 
been  on  request  only,  this  year. 

The  annual  Custodians'  Meeting  was 
held  on  October  27th.  The  morning  ses- 
sion was  held  at  the  main  library  and 
was  taken  up  with  several  talks  by  mem- 
bers of  the  staff,  one  on  adult  education 
and  one  on  the  use  of  the  reference  books 
which  are  to  be  found  in  even  the  small- 
est branch.  Luncheon  was  served  in  one 
of  the  private  dining  rooms  at  the  Blue 
Lantern,  with  fifty  at  the  table.  After 
luncheon  the  meeting  was  continued  in 
one  of  the  other  rooms  in  the  Y.  W.  C.  A. 
building.  The  opening  number  was  a 
resume  of  the  most  worthwhile  books  of 
the  year  by  Mrs  W.  P.  Miller.  This 
was  followed  bj'  a  talk  by  one  of  the 
custodians  on  her  work  with  her  com- 
munity and  one  on  children's  books  by 
Miss   Hurlbut,   Children's   Librarian. 

A  number  of  the  branches  have  been 
undergoing  repairs  and  general  freshen- 
ing up.  Among-  these  are  the  Sanger  and 
Clovis  buildings,  both  of  which  were 
closed  for  some  time  while  the  work  was 
done.  The  building  at  Selma  has  been 
condemned  and  the  Cit.v  Trustees  and 
Board  of  Supervisors  are  looking  to  hav- 
ing the  old  building  torn  down  and  build- 
ing a  new  one.  The  Mexican  Mission 
branch  has  been  closed,  the  building 
being  wrecked  to  make  room  for  another. 
For  the  present  we  will  have  no  branch 
in  that  quarter.

Seven  students  assist  in  the  library  dur- 
ing the  day  and  the  plan  of  having  this 
help,  though  not  entirely  satisfactory,  is 
the  only  way  we  can  manage  when  we 
have  no  librarian  who  devotes  all  her 
time    to    it. 

We  have  some  fine  new  covers  for  our

with  a  presentable  appearance.

A  few  changes  have  been  made  in  the 
personnel  of  the  library  staff.  At  head- 
quarters. Miss  Yelma  Vaniman  resigned 
Nov.  1  and  ^Nliss  Demice  Parker  was  added 
to  the  staff  to  do  clerical  work. 

Mr  Spencer,  custodian  of  Seeley 
Branch,  was  transferred  to  Kern  County. 
As  yet  no  definite  appointment  has  been 
made,  bit  Mrs  Heatley  is  taking  charge 
temporarily. 

Miss  Fannie  Douden  was  appointed 
librarian  of  Brawley  Branch.  She  comes 
from  the  Los  Angeles  Public  Library  and 
is  paid  by  the  city  and  county.  The 
library  is  now  under  the  supervision  of  a 
trained  librarian  with  the  library  open 
seven  hours  a  day. 

Two  essay  contests  were  put  on  during 
Children's  Book  Week,  one  at  Holtville 
and  the  other  at  Mulberr3^  Lists  were 
made  up  by  the  librarian  and  prizes  offered 
by  different  organizations. 

We  took  note  of  the  interest  shown  in 
the  little  library  branch  at  Ogilby.  This 
is  a  section  station  on  the  railroad.  The 
only  people  there  are  the  ones  who  work 
for  the  Southern  Pacific.  Some  have 
taken  their  families  with  them.  Last 
year  th?y  used  only  a  few  books,  but  this 
year  we  have  observed  the  tremendous 
growth  in  the  circulation  and  a  keen  inter- 
est.

The  most  important  event  of  the  fall, 
in  the  eyes  of  the  county  lilirariau  ;inil 
her  loyal  helpers,  was  the  custodians' 
meeting  held  at  Independence,  Dec.  6. 
It  v.as  very  successful  in  every  respect 
except  that  of  attendance.  The  librarian 
has  come  to  the  conclusion  that  Inyo 
County  is  not  adapted  by  nature  to  carry 
out  such  meetings.  When  th*^  super- 
visors cheerfully  accepted  the  task  of 
bringing  the  custodians  from  the  distant 
points',  and  when  almost  every  custodian 
expressed  an  intention  of  being  present, 
the  chief  diflSculty  seemed  to  be  overcome. 
But  this  was  early  ;  when  the  actual  date 
arrived,  illness,  extra  duties,  absence 
from  the  county,  a  resignation — all 
played  havoc  with  the  attendance,  and 
we  felt  that  we  had  induced  Mr  Fer- 
guson and  Mrs  Babcork  to  visit  us  under 
false  pretenses.  However,  they  came, 
and  we  greatly  enjoyed  them,  Mrs  Fer- 
guson was  prevented  by  a  very  sore 
throat  from  taking  much  pleasure  in 
travel,  but  we  hope  she  too  will  com? 
again  when  our  weather  behaves  better 
and  it  is  open  season  on  trout  instead 
of  on   custodians. 

The  plan  of  the  meeting  called  for 
an  introduction  to  the  county  library's 
central  office  and  the  methods  of  carry- 
ing on  the  work  there :  talks  by  the  \is- 
iting  librarians-  and  by  two  of  the  cus- 
todians, relieved  by  a  visit  to  Mt.  Whit- 
ney Trout  Hatchery  and  by  a  social  hour 
in  the  evening.  The  very  small  group 
assembled  made  it  seem  pleasanter  just 
to  talk  over  things  informally ;  we  talked 
out  what  we  had  to  say  rather  than 
made  even  informal  speeches.  This  was 
both  pleasant   and  helpful. 

Letters'  from  the  custodians  present. 
after  the  meeting,  showed  that  they  had 
both  appreciated  and  been  helped  by  it. 
They  and  the  librarian  heartily  thank 
Mrs  Babcock  and  Mr  Ferguson  for  their 
help  and  the  inspiration  they  brought. 
Please   come   again.

ten  years,  has  added  to  her  labors  this

The  library  started  work  this  year  in 
the  small  room  used  formerly  for  a 
sewing  room,  but  was  soon  moved  to 
the  large  room  originally  intended  for  a 
library.  Mrs  Howland  spent  several 
weeks  rearranging  the  catalog  after  the 
books  were  properly  placed  on  the 
shelves.  All  catalog  cards  were  dis- 
carded for  which  there  were  no  books, 
and  new  ones  written  when  needed. 

Two  hundred  seventy-three  new  books 
have  been  added  to  the  library  to  date 
(.January)  of  which  about  one  hundred 
twenty-five  are  fiction.  Catalog  cards 
are  sent  from  headquarters  at  Bakers- 
field  for  all  books  sent  in. 

Of  two  hundred  seventy-nine  pupils 
registered  in  school  in  January,  two  hun- 
dred thirty-five  have  cards  in  the  library. 

New  oilcloth  has  been  put  on  the  tops 
of  the  tables  where  forty  can  be  seated, 
and  nineteen  student  chairs  are  arranged 
for  extra  seating. 

The  library  is  in  no  sense  a  study  hall, 
being  used  for  library  purposes  only, 
with  the  exception  that  students  with 
low  grades  are  sent  in  at  specified  periods 
to  study. 

The  teachers  have  the  privilege  of  tak- 
ing out  as  many  books  as  they  desire  for 
class  use  for  the  term  and  are  personally 
responsible  for  all  books  so  charged  out.

was  made  at  each  branch.  This  was  the 
first  time  that  a  special  feature  had  been 
made  of  this  week  in  the  county  branches, 
but  it  seemed  to  us  that  it  was  very  suc-

represents  one  of  the  finest  gifts  to  this 
department  in  several  years.  The  col- 
lections consist  of  1800  reproductions  in 
photograph  and  color  facsimiles  of  the 
greatest  work  in  architecture,  sculpture 
and  painting ;  fifty  original  prints  rep-

and  designs  characteristic  of  different 
races ;  and  two  hundred  books  on  the  art 
of  every  period  and  people.  The  books 
are  in  French  and  German  as  well  as

Between  300  and  400  persons  attended 
the  formal  opening  of  the  new  home  of

the  installation  of  additional  new  furni-

Our  library  has  made  quite  a  stride  for- 
ward during  the  past  three  months.  We 
have  organized  a  students'  course  in  Li- 
brary Methods  and  interested  a  larger 
number  of  students  in  learning  to  use  the 
library  facilities  which  are  on  hand.  We 
think  this  student  interest  is  one  of  the 
most  important  steps  in  the  progress  of 
building  a  school  library. 

We  have  subscribed  to  a  number  of  new 
magazines  and  papers  for  I'efei'ence  use. 
We  also  have  ordered  over  two  hundred 
ftad  fifty  new  books  fdr  our  shelves —

We  feel  that  oul'  library  is  becoming  a 
i*eal  help  to  the  community,  as  parents 
make  use  of  our  available  books. 

The  Ijos  Angeles  County  Library  is  an 
invaluable  aid  to  us  in  cataloging  our 
books  and  buying  them  for  us.

A  year  ago  our  enrollment  was  larger

have  two  high  school  districts  in  Long

The  last  three  months  tiave  witnessed  d 
rapid  increase  in  the  use  of  the  tiew  li- 
brary, a  growing  appreciation  of  the 
building,  and  the  services  it  offers  through 
its  many  departments — a  natural  reaction 
upon  the  part  of  the  public  to  the  in- 
creased effort  of  the  library  staff,  to  rend- 
der  service  worthy  of  the  new  home. 

November  27  recorded  the  largest  circu- 
lation in  the  history  of  the  library — -9941 
books  checked  out,  and  almost  every  one 
of  the  1200  chaii's  in  the  I'eading  rooms 
occupied  by  students  and  readers.  Octo- 
ber and  November  wei*e  record  months  in 
registration,  each  with  8000  new  borrow- 
ers recorded; 

Many  city  groups  and  classes  from  day 
and  night  schools  have  been  taken  on 
tour  through  the  building  and  given  an 
explanation  of  the  features  and  Sendee 
offered.  Among  the  distinguished  visitors 
to  the  library  during  the  quarter,  was  Dr 
Henry  Guppy,  President  of  the  Library 
Association  of  England,  and  Librarian  of 
.John  Rylands  Library  of  Manchester,  who 
addressed  the  staff  and  the  Library  School 
in  an  inspiring  talk  on  personality,  and 
talked  with  the  Library  Board  on  inter- 
esting discoveries  in  rare  books. 

The  Lecture  and  Exhibit  Room,  in 
charge,  since  October  1,  of  Mrs  Eleanor 
Brodie  Jones,  formerly  Librarian  of  the 
Hollywood  Branch,  is  proving  a  popular 
and  interesting  feature  of  service.  Ex- 
hibits have  brought  many  friends  to  the 
library,  and  lectures  are  helping  to  make 
the  bock  collection  of  public  interest, 
especially  the  courses  of  book  talks  by 
Miss  Helen  Haines,  recent  book  reviews 
by  Miss  Gertrrde  Darlow,  and  a  series  on 
economics  by  Dr  Frederick  Roman. 

The  Patents  Room,  in  charge  of  Mr 
George  Chase,  under  the  Science  and 
Industry  Department,  is  proving  of 
much  benefit  to  patent  attorneys,  in- 
ventors, and  investors  who  ai'e  grateful

for  copies  of  specifications  and  patents. 
In  one  corner  of  tlie  Patents  Room  is 
shelved  a  small  collection  of  books  for 
the  blind,  some  of  which  are  a  loan  from 
the  State  Library,  and  others  gifts  from 
local  organizations. 

Branches  Department  reports  twelve 
new  branch  buildings  under  construction, 
or  in  prospect,  two  of  which  have  been 
completed  this  quarter.  Alessandro  Branch 
opened  in  its  attractive  little  frame 
building  on  October  13,  with  Mrs  Saidie 
King  as  Librarian,  and  the  Washington 
Irving  Bi'anch,  a  more  pretentious  brick 
and  cement  building  in  a  thickly  settled 
part  of  the  city,  opened  on  Decemljer  13. 
The  staff  at  the  new  branch  (a  branch 
differing  from  the  others  in  that  it  sprung 
to  life  in  a  building  of  its  own)  consists 
of  Mrs  Emilie  Jackson,  Mrs  Caroline 
Johnston,  formerly  of  the  staff  of  the 
Los  Angeles  County  Free  Library,  and 
Miss  Frances  Kenyon,  formerly  of  Roch- 
ester Public  Library. 

From  the  Work  with  Children  Depart- 
ment comes  the  announcement  of  the  resig- 
nation of  Mrs  Gladys  Case,  Principal  of 
Work  with  Children,  and  her  marriage  to 
Dr  Glenn  Miller  of  Los  Angeles,  and  the 
appointment  on  January  1  of  Miss  Eva 
G.  Leslie,  formerly  of  Cleveland  and  St. 
Louis  Public  Libraries,  and  at  one  time 
instructor  in  children's  work  in  the  West- 
ern Reserve  University.  Book  Week 
plans  developed  by  this  department  re- 
volved about  the  choosing  of  favorite 
"book  chums"  by  children  in  elementary 
grades,  and  the  making  of  lists  resulting 
from  the  choice  of  chums,  later  to  be 
printed  and  used  as  a  basis  of  selection 
by  schools,  libraries,  parents  and  book 
stores. 

The  Ivanhoe  Room  for  Boys  and  Girls, 
under  Miss  Rosemary  Livsey,  held  a  for- 
mal opening  for  the  school  children  of  Los 
Angeles,  inviting  representatives  from  two 
hundred  city  schools  November  8.  Chil- 
dren came  in  costume  of  their  book  chums 
and  it  was  a  gay  procession  of  Heidis, 
Tom  Sawyers.  Little  Women.  Huckle- 
lierry  Finns  and  Dr  Dolittles,  that  trooped 
through  the  building  and  were  made  ac-

The  uutstandiug  event  in  the  history  of 
this  library  since  our  last  report  in  JYews 
^ijtes  of  California  Lihraries  is  the  rent- 
ing of  a  small  building  adjoining  the  li- 
brary for  use  in  tiling  duplicate  books 
and  especially  journals.  The  building 
was  made  fire-proof  as  far  as  possible, 
and  was  supplied  with  shelves  by  a  loan 
from  the  Public  Library  of  material, 
which,  fortunately  for  us.  was  left  over 
when  the  city  took  possession  of  its  beauti- 
ful new  building.  In  our  new  building 
we  have  have  now  about  21,000  duplicate 
journals,  unbound,  besides  about  2.30  books 
and  bound  volumes  of  journals  not  ac- 
cessioned. The  task  of  moving  these 
journals  was  most  strenuous,  as  most  of 
them  were  in  an  attic  store  room,  where 
they  filled  not  only  the  stacks  and  shelves 
but  covered  much  of  the  floor  as  well. 
The  shelves  in  the  store  room  are  again 
filled  with  little  used  journal  files  and 
reports,  etc.,  and  the  main  library  has 
room  to  breathe.  The  duplicate  journals 
are  easily  accessible  in  the  annex,  and  it 
is  our  policy  to  issue  these  to  members  as 
loans,  keeping  the  bound  volumes  in  the 
library  for  reference  use,  as  far  as  pos- 
sible. 

A  number  of  new  reference  books  have 
recently  been  placed  upon  the  shelves  by 
gift,  purchase  or  loan,  and  eleven  interest- 
ing old  books  ranging  in  date  from  1538 
to  1834. 

The  library  is  now  open  all  week  days 
and  minor  holidays  from  9  a.m.  to  5  p.m. 
Opening  the  library  on  Saturday  after- 
noons is  an  innovation  which   has  proved

The  completion  of  a  new  study  hall  in 
January  has  relieved  the  crowded  con- 
dition of  the  library. 

Teachers,    librarians,    and   students   are 

,  all   working   on    the   problem   of   the   loss 

of    books.      We    believe    the    trouble    can 

be  met  only  by  enlightened  public  opinion. 

The  Library  Club  has  had  a  picnic 
this  term  and  programs  on  St.  Francis  of 
Assisi.  Selma  Lagerlof,  and  Tolstoi.  At 
the  last  meeting  Miss  Macgowan  gave  an 
interesting  account  of  life  iu  Moscow 
during  the  war. 

The  exhibit  case  has  held  exhibits  of 
stamps,  toy  furniture,  millinery,  cathe- 
dral pictures,  Christmas  cards  of  espe- 
cial beauty  or  interest,  and  rare  books, 
including  a  17th  century  Odyssey,  trans- 
lated by  Ogilvy.

Of  particular  interest  is  the  recent 
acquisition  (the  early  volumes  are  still 
on  the  way)  of  a  practically  complete 
set  of  "Biometrika"  (Vol.  4,  No.  4,  only, 
is  missing).  If  there  is  another  set  of 
this  journal  in  southern  California,  we 
have  yet  to  find  it.  Since  access  to  this 
series  is  almost  indispensable  to  persons 
engaged  in  every  variety  of  statistical 
research,  we  will  be  glad  to  make  our 
set   generally    available    for    consultation. 

Other  recent  accessions  include  a 
large  series  of  publications  on  fishery 
investigations,  kindly  donated  by  the 
Dutch    government.      The    generosity    of

some  of  the  foreign  government  depart- 
ments and  marine  stations  is  most  grati- 
fying. We  are  frequently  able  to  obtain 
from  them  valuable  documents,  which  it 
would  otherwise  be  almost  impossible  to 
secure,  in  quantities  far  exceeding  what 
we  are  at  present  prepared  to  send  in 
exchange.  The  "Foreign  Exchange 
Agencies''  listed  by  the  Smithsonian 
Institution  in  its  annuaL  "Report  on  the 
International  Exchange  Service,''  with 
many  of  which  we  have  been  correspond- 
ing, are  very  helpful.  In  addition,  the 
U.  S.  S.  R.  Society  for  Cultural  Rela- 
tions with  Foreign  Countries.  6  Malaya 
Nikitskaya,  Moscow  G9,  U.  S.  S.  R., 
has  served  us  with  such  admirable  effi- 
ciency, that  we  may  unhesitatingly  say 
that  it  is  less  trouble  for  us  to  get  in 
touch  with  the  organizations  issuing 
marine  biological  publications  in  Russia 
than  in  any  other  European  country. 
Even  when  we  can  furnish  only  the  most 
meager  data,  such  as  the  abbreviated 
name  of  a  journal  or  institution,  return 
mail  often  brings  the  publications  them- 
selves. 

To  find  translators  who  combine  zoo- 
logical training  with  the  requisite  linguis- 
tic knowledge,  is  very  difficult  for  such 
languages  as  Japanese.  Esthonian.  Rus- 
sian, Dutch,  and  the  Scandinavian 
tongues.

the  first  year  of  its  existence.  Most  of 
the  books  that  had  served  pupils  at  the

The  art  collection  has  been  enriched 
by  the  addition  of  four  fine  old  Japanese 
prints.  A  special  display  of  reproduc- 
tions of  good  pictures  was  made  at  the 
Ebell  Club  during  December.  These  re- 
production.s  were  all  from  the  Library, 
and  with  the  .Japanese  prints  gave  a  very 
fair  idea  of  the  chief  styles   of  painting. 

The  Children's  Room  has  insLalled  a 
simple,  inexpensive  device  to  keep  much-

with  the  rest  of  the  library  world,  the 
shelves  of  "Potter  books''  and  of  "Easy 
books"  were  our  perpetual  care.  They 
now  need  very  little  attention,  and  pre- 
sent  a    delightfully   tidy   appearance.

and  conducting  a  small  lending  library 
on  his  own  account  with  them.  We 
think  that  some  of  the  publicity  given, 
this  case  bj'  the  newspapers  has  caused 
the  appearance  on  our  tables  of  a  num- 
ber of  books  long  missing. 

There  has  been  no  blanket  increase  of 
salaries  this  year,  but  four  of  the  staff 
have  received  small  increases  for  special

school  system.  Miss  Ross,  librarian  of 
the  Santa  Monica  High  School,  arranged 
for  the  meeting.  Every  once  in  a  while 
we  hope  to  have  an  hour  together,  thus 
solving   service   problems. 

The  collection  of  beautiful  art  books 
and  books  of  costume  has  created  much 
interest.  Many  artists  who  are  inter- 
ested in  work  in  Los  Angeles  and  Holly-

joy  and  practical  help.

Plans  drawn  by  E.  J.  Baume,  Santa 
Monica  architect,  for  remodeling  the  li- 
brary building  were  accepted  this  week 
by  the  city  planning  commission,  which 
has  recommended  that  the  city  approve 
the  plans.  Six  other  Los  Angeles  and 
Santa  Monica  architects  submitted 
sketches  for  the  library  rebuilding.  The 
approved  plans  provide  a  maximum  of 
operating  space  and  permit  the  library 
to  function  during  alterations.  Approxi- 
mately .$50,000  will  be  spent  for  this 
work. — Los  Angeles  Journal  of  Com-

Two  changes  were  made  in  the  loca-

October  6,  the  Elverta  Branch  was  moved 
from  the  store  of  Mr  L.  Chaffin,  to  the 
store  of  Anderson  Brothers,  as  Mr 
Chaffin,  who  has  given  the  County  Li- 
brary such  long  service,  was  no  longer 
in  a  position  to  care  for  the  branch.  The 
Sylvan  Branch,  which  had  been  housed 
in  the  library  room  of  the  Sylvan  School, 
had  long  outgrown  its  quarters,  so  the 
women  of  the  Sylvan  Mothers  Club 
erected  a  suitable  building  upon  a  loca- 
tion adjacent  to  the  school,  the  County 
Library  supplied  tasteful  and  substan- 
tial furnishings,  all  of  the  books  from  the 
old  branch  were  returned  and  replaced 
by  a  new  collection,  and  on  November  16, 
a  public  opening  was  held,  which  was 
attended  by  many  residents  of  the  dis- 
trict, all  of  whom  expressed  themselves 
as  greatly  pleased  with  the  larger  scope 
and  greater  comfort  and  convenience  of 
the  new  library  room  and  its  facilities.

The  second  series  of  art  exhibits  in  the 
library  began  with  paintings  in  oil 
by  Mrs  George  Briggs,  a  local  artist.  Her 
work  covered  a  variety  of  subjects — por- 
traits and  landscapes.  The  latter  were 
versatile  in  treatment.  Two  studies  of 
eucalyptus  trees  attracted  considerable 
attention.  Sand  dunes  contrasted  with 
a  mountain  trail  in  all  the  freshness  of 
spring,  while  a  fruit  stand  and  building 
in  the  Chinese  quarter  added  a  gay  note 
of  color. 

This  was  followed  by  the  annual  exhibit 
of  the  Print  Makers  Association  of  Cali- 
fornia, which  brought  many  visitors  to  the 
library.  There  were  a  number  of  ex- 
quisite block  prints  in  color  which,  min- 
gled with  the  delicate  etchings,  made  one 
of  the  most  beautiful  displays  we  have 
had. 

Two  unique  touches  were  given  to 
Children's  Book  Week.  Louise  Tessin, 
who  illustrated  Bunny  Bearskin,  one  of 
the  fall  publications,  brought  some  of  her 
original  panels  for  the  book,  together  with 
examples  of  color  design  done  by  her 
pupils,  to  place  on  display  in  the  Chil- 
dren's Room.  The  Camp  Fire  girls  made 
out  of  cardboard  a  miniature  scene  from 
the  Sleeping  Princess,  that  gave  a  touch 
of  fairyland  to  the  room.  Tiny  dolls,  ex- 
quisitely dressed,  lay  sleeping  on  the 
throne.  A  small  reproduction  of  the  fatal 
spinning  wheel  was  perfect.  These  two 
displays  brought  more  parents  and  chil- 
dren to  see  the  new  books  tlian  anything 
we  have  done  before  and  cost  very  little 
effort  on  our  part.  The  pasteboard  set 
fired  the  ambition  of  a  little  Portuguese 
boy  who  had  always  been  the  despair  of 
his  teachers  and  he  made  a  small  model 
of  the  huge  engine  No.  5000,  recently 
manufactured  for  the  Southern  Pacific. 
He  used  odds  and  ends  of  wood — -cigar 
boxes  and  spools — painting  the  finished 
product  black  with  silver  for  the  steel. 
As  it  was  the  first  time  he  has  shown  any 
interest  of  any  kind,  his  teacher  asked  if

A  drive  on  "The  care  of  books"  was 
conducted  by  the  school  department  of 
the  Stockton  Public  Library  at  the  open- 
ing of  the  fall  term  1920.  with  very  gi'ati- 
fying  results. 

As  a  means  of  teaching  the  right  use  of 
books  and  at  the  same  time  encouraging 
the  readiiig,  teachers  were  asked  to  require 
of  each  child  an  essay  to  be  written  on 
"The  care  of  books."  The  best  essays 
were  selected  and  special  prominence 
given  them  during  Good  Book  Week,  and 
to  those  schools  producing  the  best  essays 
choice  selections  of  new  books  were  sent 
by  the  librarian.  By  this  means  we  have 
been  able,  through  the  cooperation  of  the 
Superintendent  of  Schools,  to  place  on  the 
child's  monthly  report  card  "The  care  of 
books"  on  which  he  is  graded. 

As  a  means  of  establishing  contact  with 
children  and  stimulating  interest  in  books, 
the  school  librarian  has  recently  visited 
the  schools  and  shown  to  the  children  pic- 
tures that  represent  prominent  characters 
in  books.  The  children  were  asked  to  give 
the  title  of  the  book  which  the  picture 
represents.  As  a  reward  the  librarian 
offered  to  send  to  the  one  guessing  the 
highest  number,  any  book  that  he  would 
like  most  to  read. 

During  the  quarter  great  interest  has 
been  shown  in  the  weekly  story-hours  con- 
ducted at  the  M  a  n  t  e  c  a  and  Tracy 
Branches.  At  Manteca.  Miss  Mary  Cola- 
lian  gave  the  initial  story-hour,  and  since 
Ihen  tlie  custodian  in  charge  has  arranged 
weekly  programs.  There  are  two  weekly 
story-hours  at  Tracy.  One  is  held  at  the 
Soutiiside  School,  where  there  is  a  mixed 
licpulation  of  children,  and  the  other  is 
lield  at  the  West  Park  Scliool.  Mrs  R.  A.

The  publicity  given  the  "Heading  With 
a  I'urpose"  series,  published  by  the  Ameri- 
can Library  Association  has  caused  quite 
an  interest  in  the  subjects  presented. 
Prominent  educational  people  in  the  com- 
munity have  cooperated  with  us  in  writing 
special  articles  on   the  different  booklets. 

The  Roosevelt  Circle  of  the  G.  A.  R. 
presented  two  flags  to  the  library,  one  of 
which  was  presented  to  the  Juvenile  De- 
partment and  the  other  for  the  main  read- 
ing room.  Appropriate  exercises  were 
conducted  at  both  presentations. 

During  Good  Book  Week,  .jOO  lists  of 
the  children's  liooks  on  display  were 
given  to  the  visitors  of  the  .Juvenile  De- 
partment. A  prize  essay  contest  was 
held  previous  to  Good  Book  ATeek  in 
which  all  the  children  of  the  city  schools 
in  the  sixth  grade  wrote  an  essay  on 
poetry.  Twenty-.six  honor  badges  were 
presented  the  Saturday  of  Good  Book 
Week  to  the  children  who  had  written 
the  l>esr  and  most  original  essaj'.  Two

by  members  of  the  staff  at  a  meeting  of 
unusual  interest  on  Thursday,  December 
23,  at  8.15  a.m.  Each  member  was 
requested  to  bring  a  "Woolworth  gift." 
These  were  placed  around  the  Christmas 
tree  in  the  main  reading  room  of  the 
library.  A  lo^-ely  fountain  pen  was  pre- 
sented to  ]\Iiss  Condit  by  the  library  staff. 
The  "gifts"  wert^  then  exchanged  caus- 
ing much  merriment,  which  only  sali- 
sided  on  the  stroke  of  nine.

case,  special  display  case  and  pamphlet 
file,  is  now  quite  complete.  The  I'oom 
in  which  we  are  now  housed  has  seating 
space  for  one  hundred  readers.  This  is 
over  double  the  space  we  formerly  had, 
and  the  room  has  already  been  filled  to 
its  full  capacity.  A  work  room  opens 
off  the  reading  room,  where  there  will 
be  space  for  stacks,  as  the  shelves 
become  too  crowded.  Besides  student 
lielp,  a  paid  part-time  assistant  has  been 
added  to  the  library.  Twelve  new  peri- 
odicals have  been  added,  making  thirty- 
five  for  use  in  the  library,  besides  others 
used  in  departments. 

Due  to  a  delay  in  the  shipment  of  the 
furniture,  the  library  reading  room  was 
not  opened  until  the  last  of  October. 
Books  were  loaned  over  a  table  through 
the  door  to  the  students  for  two  months. 
The  students  as  well  as  the  librarian 
are  enjoying  the  new  surroundings.

At  the  request  of  the  Librarian  the  book 
stores  had  very  good  window  displays  of 
books  for  children,  and  press  notices  were 
also  used.  As  a  result  much  interest  has

The  November  observance  of  Children's 
Book  Week  proved  to  be  the  most  success- 
ful of  all,  not  alone  in  number  of  beauti- 
ful new  books,  but  in  attendance  and  co- 
operation with  schools  and  book  stores. 
Decorations  in  poster-like  orange  and 
black  were  so  unique  and  attractive  that, 
in  response  to  many  requests  they  are  still 
making  gay  and  glad  the  big  room  which 
is  the  children's  own.  Bigger  plans  for 
next  November  are  already  under  way. 

-4t  the  close  of  the  fiscal  year.  Novem- 
ber 30,  1926,  the  figures  showed  a  total 
circulation  of  197,633,  an  increase  over 
the  previous  year  of  25,734.  Non-fiction 
increase  (adult)  was  18  per  cent;  juve- 
nile 11  per  cent.  The  very  large  fiction 
increase  told  the  story  of  a  satisfied 
public,  library  patrons  having  been 
granted  the  vacation  privilege  of  taking 
fiction  on  non-fiction  cards.  The  response 
to  this  offer  was  "immense."  November, 
in  the  juvenile  department,  proved  beyond 
a  doubt  that  children  can  be  led  to  read 
good  books.  With  a  circulation  for  the 
month  of  3683,  the  non-fiction  books 
totaled  1036.  In  this  department  all  non- 
fiction  volumes  are  called  "Green  Card 
Books,"  owing  to  their  circulation  on 
cards  of  that  color,  and  the  name  is  much 
less  formidable  than  "non-fiction." 

The  library  purchased,  and  is  now  dis- 
tributing. 500  lists  of  the  "100  Worth- 
while Books."  The  books  listed  are  dis- 
played on  a  table  near  the  main  circula- 
tion desk  ;  lists  are  made  easily  available  ;

SANTA  CLARA  CO.— Continued. 
San  Jose — Continued, 
and  publicity  is  getting  results.  Not  many 
volumes  are  left  on  the  table — even  the 
weary-looking  and  worn  old  volumes  doing 
one  more  circulation  of  their  educational 
"bit." 

The  Juvenile  "Green  Card  Club"  is 
organizing  for  another  nine  weeks'  course 
of  "Green  Card  Book"  reading,  actual 
start  to  be  made  February  1.  One  book 
each  week,  of  a  designated  classification, 
must  be  read  and  a  written  review  of  the 
book  handed  to  the  librarian.  This  course 
is  to  be  "Travel  in  Bookland  with  Stop- 
over in  Fairyland."  The  "stop-over"  may 
be  made  at  any  time  during  the  nine 
weeks,  and  either  Fairj'land  or  the  Land 
of  Folklore  may  be  the  pleasant  place 
chosen — thus  adding  a  tenth  book.  Regu- 
lar printed  tickets  are  issued,  to  be 
"punched"  for  each  book-stop.  Each 
traveler  must  have  a  traveling  companion, 
and  a  very  special  "something"  is  prom- 
ised to  all  w^ho  journey  to  the  end  with 
the  same  companion.  The  juveniles  are 
eagerly  enrolling  and  taking  great  joy  in 
seeing  their  names — with  chosen  compan- 
ions^appear  on  the  big  "Travel  Bulletin 
Board." 

Librarian  Edith  Daley  has  been  hon- 
ored by  Edwun  Markham  in  his  "Book  of 
Poetry,"  two  of  her  poems  having  been 
included.  They  are  "Miracles"  and  "The 
Little  Words." 

The  resignation  of  Alice  King  was  ac- 
cepted by  the  Board,  and  Miss  Leona 
Spitzer  is  substituting  to  fill  the  vacancy. 
Mrs  King  has  left  library  work. 

Many  periodicals  have  been  added  to 
the  library's  regular  subscription  list, 
and  at  this  time  an  intensive  effort  is 
being  made,  by  means  of  attractive  dis- 
plays, to  increase  the  circulation  of  peri- 
odical literature.  One  corner  of  the 
library  is  made  to  approximate  a  "news 
stand" — and  with  good  results.

In  the  fall  the  Anderson  Union  High 
School  received  a  gift  of  about  85  books. 
These  books  have  been  examined  and  the 
very  old  and  unsuitable  ones  discarded. 
The  others,  which  were  mostly  fiction  and 
textbooks,  were  accessioned,  cataloged 
and  put  on  the  shelves  ready  for  use. 

During  the  National  Education  Week 
our  school  gave  a  program  and  the 
buildings  were  open  for  inspection.  The 
library  class  made  suitable  posters  con- 
cerning library  usage.  We  also  cut  out 
the  pictures  on  the  front  covers  of  all  of 
the  Literary  Digests.  In  most  cases 
these  are  reproductions  of  paintings  of 
old  masters.  These  we  pasted  on  heavy 
rey  paper  and  drew  black  margins  around 
them.  We  tacked  them  up  for  exhibition 
and  now  any  department  may  use  them 
upon  request. 

Heretofore  the  textbook  collection  has 
been  in  charge  of  a  different  person  every 
year  or  two.  It  has  now  definitely  been 
made  a  part  of  the  librarian's  duties  and 
it  seems  to  be  fitting  in  well  with  the 
regular  routine  of  the  school  library.  The 
library  class  can  now  be  called  on  to 
repair  used  books  and  barco  the  new  ones.

of  the  Reading  Habit"  was  made  before 
the  Parent  Teacher  Association  of  Yuba 
City.  "Children's  Books  as  Christmas 
Gifts"  was  given  before  the  Home  Depart- 
ments at  Rio  Oso  and  Nuestro.  Exhibits 
of  the  new  books  for  children  were  shown 
at  the  various  meetings.  An  exhibit  of 
late  editions  was  maintained  in  the  main 
library  and  was  most  popular  with  the 
mothers.  A.  L.  A.  lists;  of  books  were  dis- 
tributed throughout  the  county.  The  par- 
ents have  manifested  such  keen  interest  in 
better  books  for  their  children  and  the 
reports  show  that  so  many  new  and  de- 
lightful books  Avere  added  to  the  children's 
libraries  in  Sutter  County  homes,  that  we 
feo]  that  this  was  the  best  week  we  have 
ever  "put  over." 

The  first  meeting  of  the  Sutter  County 
c-i  stodians  was  held  at  headquarters,  No- 
vember 4.  Although  the  attendance  was 
small,  the  enthusiasm  was  splendid.  Mat- 
ters pprtaijiing  tu  l)rauch  work — with  pub- 
licity as  the  main  subject — were  discussed. 
The  work  of  the  scliool  department  was 
explained  by  Miss  Stevenson  and  a  resume 
of  the  advancement  of  libraries  over  the 
past  TiO  years  with  plans  for  our  own 
advancement  during  the  coming  year  was 
given  by  the  county  librarian.  The  meet- 
ing adjourned  to  meet  again  in  six  months, 
the  unanimous  request  of  the  custodians 
present. 

On  December  24,  a  Christmas  Fairy 
(Mi?s  Brockman  of  the  library  staff)  told 
Cbr'stmas  stories  to  twenty-five  enchanted 
tots.  The  school  department  was  trans- 
formed into  a  fitting  place  for  a  fairy  by 
the  use  of  greenery  and  a  Christmas  tree 
and  shaded  lights.  This  was  one  of  tht 
most  successful  story  hours  ever  held  here. 

The  County  Library  was  instrumental 
in  obtaining  Miss  Victoria  Powell  tc 
sjieak  before  the  Marysville  Art  Club  and 
the  Yuba  City  Woman's  Club  December 
V).  This  lecture  was  largely  responsible 
for  the  interest  taken  in  The  Miracle  and 
I  he  great  numbers  attending  the  drama

The  outstanding  feature  of  the  quarter 
was  the  joint  meeting  of  the  8th  and  9th 
.districts  of  the  C.  L.  A,  To  add  to  a 
very  attractive  program  prepared  by  the 
presidents  of  these  districts  the  weather 
man  ordered  a  fine  day  which  enhanced 
the  genial  atmosphere  that  pervaded  the 
whole  meeting.  Many  of  the  visitors 
availed  themselves  of  the  opportunity  to 
■  isit  both  the  county  and  the  city  libraries, 
which  kept  open  house,  and  all  enjoyed 
the  time  for  leisurely  visiting  and  exchange 
of  ideas  so  valuable  in  all  gatherings. 

On  October  16  the  teachers  of  the 
county  organized  a  "Reading  Club,"  which 
is  to  meet  about  once  in  two  months. 
iBooks  of  professional  interest  are  dis- 
cussed and  reviewed  and  these  reviews 
form  the  basis  of  a  bulletin  sent  out  by 
;the  county  library  once  a  month,  listing 
'teachers'  books  as  well  as  juvenile  books 
of  worth  that  teachers  should  be  ac- 
<iuainted  with. 

;  During  Children's  Book  Week  the 
[schools  used  a  story  written  by  a  member 
of  the  Milwaukee  Public  Library  Staff, 
jn  which  were  the  hidden  titles  of  75 
;books.  The  reaction  to  this  story  is  evi- 
dent even  yet  in  the  requests  for  the  books 
named  in  the  story.  A  display  of  books 
jabout  children's  books  and  lists  of  books 
for  parents  comprised  the  exhibit  at  the 
main  office  of  the  library.

held    for    an    increase    in    circulation    the 
coming  year. 

On  October  2.  the  librarian  was  prin- 
cipal speaker  at  "Ladies'  Night"  of  the 
Achaean  Club,  another  of  those  "Business 
Men's  Eating  Clubs"  so  scorned  by  Sin- 
clair Lewis  and  others  ;  the  subject  chosen 
as  fitting  for  the  evening  was  "Some  Hu- 
morous Lights  on  Matrimony."  Later  in 
October  the  librarian  spoke  at  the  Boy 
Scouts'  "Mother  and  Son"  banquet  on 
"Your  Boy  and  Scouting."  On  November 
12,  during  American  Education  Week,  the 
subject  "Know  Tour  School"  was  treated 
before  the  P.  T.  A.  On  November  17. 
"Thunder  on  the  Left"  was  reviewed  for 
the  literary  section  of  the  Women's  Im- 
provement Club  of  Red  Bluff.  And  judg- 
ing from  the  response  by  the  audience  to 
excerpts  from  Stewart's  "Perfect  Behav- 
ior," chosen  for  the  Thanksgiving  Day 
program  at  the  High  School,  the  librarian 
was  "well  received"  November  24.  The 
oratorical  career  ended  with  a  talk  before 
the  Corning  Farm  Center  the  evening  of 
December  7.

Perhaps  the  greatest  item  of  interest  in 
connection  with  the  Visalia  High  School

that  we  just  came  into  being  about  the

present  school  year  the  High  School  re- 
ceived some  service  from  the  County 
Library.  This  relationship  was  dissolved 
this  year  and  as  a  result  the  library  was 
completely  reorganized  with  a  trained 
librarian  in  charge.  The  library  was 
greatly  enlarged,  thus  making  the  library 
occupy  one  whole  wing  of  the  building. 
The  room  is  now  fairly  large,  with  plenty 
of  windows,  light  and  air.  Tlie  library  is 
by  no  means  a  study  hall.  The  study 
hall  itself  is  directly  across  the  hall  from 
the  library.  Each  period  books  are 
checked  out  for  study  hall  use.  While  we 
have  tables  and  chairs  in  the  library,  these 
are  for  the  use  of  the  Junior  College 
students  and  for  reference  work  by  the 
High  School  pupils.  At  the  present  time 
we  have  some  2000  books.  This  is  not  a 
bad  beginning,  but  the  demand  is  far 
greater  than  the  supply.  There  are  many 
things  to  be  desired  and  many  problems 
still  to  be  solved,  but  we  have  three  out- 
standing points  to  be  grateful  for,  namely  : 
trained  librarian,  full  time ;  separate 
study  hall ;  distribution  of  textbooks  not 
in  connection  with  the  library. 

This  is  only  a  birds-eye  view  of  what 
we  are  doing.  There  are  a  great  many 
possibilities  for  the  making  of  a  fine  li- 
brary. With  the  beginning  of  the  Junior 
College  and  the  rapidly  increasing  attend- 
ance of  the  High  School,  we  are  looking 
forward  to  a  larger  and  better  library  in 
the  future.

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 
liranch  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  wishes 
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.

fornia, on  December  22,  1926,  provides 
for  college  and  university  libraries  to 
become  depositories  for  U.  S.  documents. 
The  college  librarians  will  appreciate  the 
assistance  of  any  librarians  of  the  state, 
who  will  write  to  their  representatives 
in  Congress  urging  the  passage  of  this 
bill.

'Gaiitt,  Librarian  Plumas  County  Free 
Library,  as  alternate.  A  discussion  of 
methods  was  led  by  Miss  Blanche  Chal- 
fant.  Librarian  Butte  County  Free 
Library.  Mrs  Alex  McCullagh,  of  Oak 
Park  District,  Tehama  County,  reviewed 
some  recent  books  and  described  a  course 
of  reading  in  her  community  Avhich  finally 
covered  the  period  of  Jefferson  and  Ham- 
ilton in  both  England  and  America.  Miss 
Edith  Gantt  told  of  the  establishment  of 
a  county  free  library  in  Sierra  County 
and  of  the  organization  of  the  work  under 
the  contract  for  service  from  Plumas 
County  Free  Library. 

Milton  J.  Ferguson,  State  Librarian,

parations which  made  pleasant  the  stay 
of  the  Association  members. 

Ellen  B.  Fbink,  Secretary,  pro  tern. 

THE  1927  MEETING. 
After  years  of  consideration — as  it  were, 
crying  of  the  banns — the  California  Li- 
brary Association  goes  to  the  Pacific 
Northwest,  June  13-15,  to  meet  with  our 
professional — and  personal — ^friends  of 
that  great  section.  On  the  recommenda- 
tion of  President  Anne  M.  Mixlheron  and 
her    board,    Gearhart,    Oregon,    has    been 


selected  as  the  meeting  place.  In  one  of 
her  letters  she  writes  that  "the  hotel  is 
most  attractive  and  comfortable.  The 
meals  are  good  and  the  appointments  are 
splendid."  With  a  full  appreciation  of  the 
ijifluence  of  good  meals  and  splendid  ap- 
pointments upon  the  life  of  a  party  of 
this  kind  we  can  go  to  Oregon  Avith  an 
easy  conscience  as  to  the  joy  and  profit 
the  convention  will  produce.  The  hotel 
rates  are  .$4.50  to  .$6.00  per  day. 

Perhaps  you  would  know  where  Gear- 
hart is  to  be  found.  It  is  on  the  Pacific 
Ocean,  about  120  miles  from  Portland  at 
the  mouth  of  the  Columbia  River.  Appar- 
ently it  is  the  easiest  place  to  reach  in 
the  state.  The  wonderful  Columbia  River 
highway  takes  one  to  its  door,  four  trains 
daily  run  the  year  round,  fast  boats  on 
the  Columbia  River  enable  one  to  vary  his 
journey,  and  the  ocean  steamers  from 
California  points  to  Astoria — a  few  miles 
away — offer  the  delights,  et  cetera,  of 
travel  upon  the  salty  sea. 

Exact  fares  by  rail  are  not  at  this 
moment  available,  but  will  be  announced 
in  a  later  Bulletin.  They  are,  however, 
approximately  one  and  a  half  times  the 
one  way  rate  for  the  round  trip.  Two 
steamship  lines  are  available  and  will 
laud  passengers  very  conveniently  in  point 
both  of  time  and  place  for  the  meeting. 
The  McCormick  Steamship  Company  has 
a  vessel  leaving  Los  Angeles  on  June  9  at 

5  p.m.,  allowing  a  day  in  San  Francisco, 
from  which   sailing  is  made  June  11   at 

6  p.m.,  arriving  in  Astoria  June  13  at  7 
a.m.  The  Pacific  Steamship  Company  has 
a  boat  which  puts  in  at  Astoria  on  Sun- 
day the  twelfth.  The  fare  by  steamer 
varies  according  to  berth  and  line  :  from 
Los  Angeles  the  round  trip  may  be  made 
from  $60  to  $68 ;  from  San  Francisco, 
from  $40  to  $45.  And  finally,  the  high- 
ways are  open  ;  and  all  Fords,  given  the 
customary  daily  ration  of  gas  and  oil,  will 
make  the  grade  on  schedule  time. 

The  program  is  being  worked  upon  with 
enthusiasm  and  confidence  by  the  com- 
bined talent  of  the  great  Pacific  Coast. 
AVe  believe  at  this  date  we  can  with  all 
assurance  promise  those  interested  that  it 
will  be  compact  of  information  and  inspir- 
ation in  palatable  and  digestible  propor- 
tions.    The  human  side  of  librarians  will 


54 


NEWS   NOTES    OF    CALIFORNIA    LIBRARIES.  [Jan.,    1927 


not  be  overlooked  ;  so  there  will  be  oppor- 
tunity for  a  reasonable  amount  of  fun — 
a  party  on  the  beach,  a  round  of  golf,  and 
a  high  jinks  after  or  before  the  serious 
business  of  the  day.  Opportunity  for 
better  acquaintance  and  friendly  converse 
among  the  members  of  the  two  associa- 
tions will  not  be  forgotten.  Sessions  of 
the  several  sections  devoted  to  special 
fields  will,  of  course,  be  scheduled.  Em- 
phasis upon  the  book  from  its  inspira- 
tional viewpoint,  it  is  hoped,  may  be  made 
the  theme  of  the  conference. 

The   meeting  will  close  in   ample   time 
for  those  who  plan  to  attend  the  A.  L.  A., 


to  arrive  in  Toronto  at  the  appointed 
hour.  For  those  who  do  not  intend  to 
journey  eastward,  the  Pacific  Northwest 
offers  many  attractions ;  and  the  people 
of  that  section  will  be  greatly  pleased  to 
show  us  about. 

May  I  stress  this  one  point?  This  con- 
vention is  the  big  meeting  of  librarians 
of  the  West  this  year.  It  is  highly  im- 
portant that  we  go  to  Gearhart  with  a 
.rowd  truly  representative  of  California, 
both  in  variety  of  positions  held  and  in 
numbers.  Today  is  not  too  early  to  begin 
to  make  your  plans  to  be  there.

SOME   NEW   BLANKS. 

The  San  Bernardino  County  Free  Li- 
brary has  recently  had  two  new  blanks 
printed  by  the  Library  Bureau.  They  are 
similar  to  the  former  blanks  for  recording 
accessions  of  books  and  of  other  material, 


but  some  changes  have  been  made  both  in 
ontent  and  in  arrangement.  Miss  Waters 
had  to  buy  more  than  she  needed  of  the 
sheets  for  recording  "size  and  growth  of 
other  material,"  and  would  be  glad  to 
dispo.'ie  of  some  of  them  to  other  county 
librarians  needing  them.  The  State  Li- 
brary has  a  sample  it  could  lend  or  any- 
one interested  could  communicate  with 
^liss  Waters. 

A  SUGGESTION  FOR  PUBLICITY. 

The  Tulare  County  Free  Library  has 
found  that  most  of  the  ministers  in  the 
-mailer  communities  receive  syndicated 
material  on  small  folders  which  they  add 
ro  and  pass  out  each  week.  Miss  Flower 
used  this  fact  to  good  advantage  before 
Children's  Book  Week  when  she  supplied 
■'fillers"  advertising  the  celebration.  A 
minister  in  her  county  suggested  that 
tiiousands  throughout  the  state  could  be 
icachod  if  similar  material  were  supplied 
I  he  Western  Newspaper  Union  of  San 
Francisco,  which  sends  out  this  material 
to  the  many  churches  in  the  state.  Even 
if  nothing  is  done  in  a  state-wide  way, 
county  librarians  might  make  use  of  the 
idea  in  their  own  communities.

COLLEGE  AND  UNIVERSITY 
LIBRARIANS'  CONFERENCE  OF 
SOUTHERN   CALIFORNIA. 

Tlie  ninth  meeting  of  the  College  and 
University  Librarians'  Conference  of 
Southern  California  was  held  Saturday, 
November  sixth,  at  the  University  of 
Southern  California.  Over  sixty  were 
present.  The  morning  session  was  held 
in  Parlor  C  of  the  Administration  build- 
ing. Miss  Charlotte  M.  Brown,  president 
of   the    Conference,    presiding. 

President  R.  B.  von  Klein  Smid  gave 
a  delightful  welcome  to  the  members  and 
guests,  among  whom  were  members  of  the 
Special  Libraries  Association  of  Los 
Angeles.  Much  interest  was  shown  in 
the  discussion  of  the  proposed  bill  to  be 
introduced  at  the  next  session  of  Congress 
in  regard  to  a  more  liberal  distribution 
of  public  documents.  Mr  .John  Parke 
Young,  of  Occidental  College,  told  of  the 
progress  of  this  bill  and  stated  that  Sen-

expressed  his  willingness  to  shape  the 
bill  and  urge  its  passage.

Pacific  Library  Binding  Company  of  Los 
Angeles,  led  an  interesting  and  profitable 
discussion  in  regard  to  his  classification 
of  bindery  material  in  relation  to  prices. 
The  policy  followed  by  his  company  in 
differentiating  between  public  library 
binding  and  college  binding  was  explained 
and  he  stated  that  this  classification  was 
necessary    from    the   binder's    view    point.

LIBRARY    CLUBS,    ETC. 


57 


A  delectable  luncheon  was  served  at 
the  Woman's  Residence  Hall.  A  slight 
innovation  was  made  ,in  regard  to  the 
afternoon  meeting.  A  few  short  ad- 
dresses were  given  at  the  end  of  the 
luncheon  instead  of  a  regular  afternoon 
session. 

Mrs  Mary  E.  Irish.  President  of  the 
Special  Libraries  Association,  expressed 
the  pleasure  of  the  members  present  in 
being  invited  to  the  conference.  Presi- 
dent von  KleinSmid  gave  an  inspiring 
short  talk  on  the  ideal  library.  Dr 
Owen  C.  Coy,  Chairman  of  the  Histori- 
cal Society  Committee  on  the  celebration 
in  honor  of  the  Jedediah  Strong  Smith 
centennial,  gave  an  interesting  account 
of  this  pioneer  fur-trader's  entry  into 
California  one  hundred  years  ago  this 
month. 

Mr  Willis  H.  Kerr,  Librarian  of 
Pomona  College,  gave  a  brief  report  of 
the  A.  L.  A.  sessions  which  he  attended 
at  Atlantic  City.  He  stated  that  his 
chief  pleasure  was  greeting  old  friends 
who  attended  these  conferences  each  year. 

At  the  close  of  the  meeting  the  li- 
braries on  the  University  Campus  were 
visited. 

Charlotte   M.    Brown. 

PASADENA   LIBRARY   CLUB. 

The  first  meeting  of  the  1920-27  sea- 
son of  the  Pasadena  Library  Club  w;-s 
an  informal  dinner  held  at  the  Vista  di-1 
Arroyo  Hotel  on  Wednesday,  Novemb(>r 
17,  192(J.  It  was  the  occasion  for  one 
of  the  largest  gatherings  in  tlie  history 
of  the  club.  Miss  Lu  Littlejohn.  presi- 
dent, introduced  the  speakers.  Mi^s 
Helen  Vogles'on,  librarian  of  the  Los 
Angeles  County  Free  Library,  gave  a 
brief  resume  of  the  activities  of  the 
A.  L.  A.  Convention  in  Atlantic  City, 
laying  stress  on  the  foreign  delegates 
present. 

Alma  Whitaker  of  the  IjOs  Angeles 
Times  was  tlie  chief  speaker  of  the 
evening,  and  she  talked  in  a  witty  and 
entertaining  fashion  of  her  experiences 
in  interviewing  and  her  impres'sious  of 
various  celebrities   in   the   literary  world. 

Miss  Littlejohn  closed  the  meeting 
with   a   few   brief   remarks   of  a   business 


nature  and  expressed  the  hope  that  the 
next  meeting  of  the  Club  in  February 
would  be  held  in  the  beautiful  new  build- 
ing of  the  Pasadena  Public  Library. 

SPECIAL  LIBRARIES  ASSOCIATION 
OF   SOUTHERN    CALIFORNIA. 

The  first  meeting  of  the  season,  1926- 
1927,  was  held  in  the  new  Public  Library 
n  September  10,  at  7.30  p.m.,  jointly  with 
the  Sierra  Club,  by  special  arrangement. 

Addresses  were  made  by  Miss  Althea 
Warren,  Assistant  Librarian  ;  Mrs  Faith 
Holmes  Hyers,  Publicity  Director,  and  Mr 
Julian  Garnsey,  who  designed  the  interior 
decoration  of  the  new  building. 

These  talks  were  extremely  interesting 
and  enlightening  as  to  the  plan  and  con- 
ception of  the  new  library,  a  building 
totally  original  in  design  and  construction 
and  the  explanation  of  the  meaning  of 
the  decoration  and  ornament  added 
greatly  to  our  understanding  and  enjoy- 
ment of  its  architectural  features. 

After  the  speeches,  the  Sierra  Club 
members  were  escorted  through  the  li- 
brary in  small  groups  and  the  Special 
Libraries  remained  in  the  lecture  room  to 
hold  their  business  session. 

The  chief  topic  of  the  evening  was  the 
California  number  of  "Special  Libraries," 
which  is  out  at  last  and  proves  to  be  a 
very    satisfactory    and   worth-while   issue. 

Mr  Edwards  read  a  letter  from  Mr 
Worthington,  President  of  the  San  Fran- 
cisco Association  of  Special  Libraries,  ex- 
pressing his  appreciation  of  the  California 
number  and  the  work  our  Association  had 
put  into  it. 

Mr  Edwards  also  made  a  motion  that 
Mr  Marion.  Mr  Vandergrift  and  the  com- 
mittee who  collected  and  organized  the 
material  for  the  number  be  given  a  special 
vote  of  thanks. 

Mr  Marion  brought  up  the  question  as 
to  a  permanent  exhibit,  and  various  ma- 
terial was  pledged,  but  no  definite  plans 
were  formulated.  All  discussion  was  hur- 
ried, as  10  o'clock  was  fast  approaching 
and  it  was  desired  to  make  a  short  tour 
of  the  library  before  the  lights  went  out. 
This  tour  of  inspection  ended  in  the  cafe- 
teria, where  a  delicious  and  refreshing 
fruit  punch  was  served. 

The  whole  evening  was  most  interesting 
and  enjoyable.

NEWS   NOTES    OF    CALIFORNIA   LIBRARIES.  [Jail.,    1927 


The  second  luonthly  meeting  was  held 
at  the  Barlow  Medical  Library,  742  North 
Broadway,  Los  Angeles. 

Eleven  members  and  four  guests  were 
present  and  gathex'ed  round  the  festive 
board  shortly  after  6  o'clock.  The  cir- 
cular reading  tables  fairly  groaned  with 
the  good  "eats"  provided  by  both  hostesses 
and  guests — salads,  cakes,  coffee,  "Eskimo 
pies,"  sandwiches,  nuts,  fruit  and  other 
things,  too  numerous  to  mention. 

The  programme  was  opened  by  Miss 
Hollingsworth,  who  discussed  methods  of 
bringing  attention  to  magazine  material 
before  the  general  indexes  arrive.  Mrs 
Irish's  famous  "Black  Books"  were  par- 
ticularly featured.  The  Barlow  Medical 
Library  makes  it  a  practice  to  index  the 
principal  articles  in  all  journals  as  soon 
as  they  arrive,  in  loose-leaf  notebooks,  un- 
der subjects.  There  is  one  book  for  miscel- 
laneous articles,  one  for  drugs,  one  for 
poisons,  etc. 

Mrs  Irish  then  gave  a  brief  report  of 
the  eight  medical  libraries  visited  last 
summer  when  she  attended  the  conven- 
tion of  medical  librarians.  Her  talk  gave 
further    proof    of    how    stimulating    such 


experiences  are,  giving  us  a  criterion  of 
standards  and  opportunity  for  compari- 
son, occasionally  permitting  us  to  pat  our- 
selves on  the  back 'when  we  discover  that 
some  pet  scheme  of  our  own  works  to  bet- 
ter advantage  than  those  devised  by 
others. 

Then  followed  Mrs  Townsend"s  delight- 
ful paper  on  "Quacks  and  Nostrums,"  a 
most  entertaining  account  of  the  credulity 
of  mankind  in  the  weird  remedies  devised 
for  all  our  ills,  from  the  time  of 
Hippocrates  down  to  Galen  and  to  the 
present  day. 

At  the  close  of  the  programme  a  social 
half-hour  was  enjoyed  and  the  library  was 
visited  in  all  its  nooks  and  crannies,  even 
to  the  attic. 

The  November  meeting  of  our  Associa- 
tion was  again  a  joint  affair,  being  com- 
bined with  the  Conference  of  the  Southern 
California  College  and  University  Li- 
brarians, at  the  University  of  Southern 
California,  by  special  invitation.

CALIFORNIA    DEPARTMENT, 

EuDORA  Garoutte,  in  charge. 

'J"he  California  Department  aims  to 
have  a  thoroughly  good  collection  of 
books  on  the  history  and  description, 

resources  and  industries  of  the  State,  as 
well  as  the  works  of  California  authors 
in  all  departments  of  literature.  These 
are  made  accessible  by  means  of  a  card 
catalog.  Full  names  and  biographical 
sketches  of  California  authors,  artists, 
musicians,  pioueers  and  early  settlers  are 
l;eiu^'  secured,  together  with  their  photo- 
graphs. The  collection  of  bound  peri- 
odicals is  quite  large.  The  Department 
also  contains  about  10,000  bound  volumes 
of  newspapers,  a  file  of  which  is  being 
indexed  with  reference  to  the  history  of 
the  State.  Students  will  be  assisted  in 
tlieir  work. 

Pioneers  and   Early  Settlers. 

Only  two  cards  of  49ers  have  been 
received,  both  of  whom  were  physicians. 
Dr  Berryman  Bryant  arrived  June  12, 
1849    bringing   Avith    him    five    trunks    of 


medicine.  He  went  to  Sacramento  and 
put  up  a  canvas  hospital  with  eighteen 
beds,  a  sign  "Home  for  the  Sick"  was 
put  in  place  and  very  quickly  the  hos- 
pital was  full  of  patients.  Later  Dr 
Bryant  moved  to  San  Jose  and  was 
appointed  a  trustee  of  the  Normal  School. 
His  death  occurred  in  1898. 

Dr  E.  A.  Kunkler,  a  native  of  Swit- 
zerland, reached  California,  overland,  in 
1849.  He  settled  in  Placerville  where 
he  remained  until  his  death  in  1881.  A 
prominent  physician  of  the  present  day 
writes  of  him  as  follows :  "A  persisting 
scholar  on  the  Mother  Lode.  His  writ- 
ings on  medicine,  philosophy  and  educa- 
tion from  1859  to  1880  appeared  in 
the  medical  periodicals  of  that  time.  He 
was  an  unassimilated  Swiss  scholar, 
never  having  been  naturalized." 

Another  physician  who  arrived  in  1852 
was  Dr  William  E.  Eichelroth,  a  note- 
worthy example  of  the  trained  European 
medical  man  who  was  quickly  and  thor- 
oughly assimilated  on  the  Mother  Lode. 
He  became  a  staunch  American,  was  a 
member  of  the  Legislature  and  gained 
prominence  in  many  waj's.  After  going 
from  place  to  place  he  finally  settled  in 
Sonora  where  he  became  a  leader.  He 
died  in  Stockton  in  1890. 

Robert  Coombs  Carter,  probably  the 
last  survivor  of  the  San  Francisco  Vigi- 
lance Committee  at  the  time  his  card 
was  filled  out  in  December,  passed  on 
a  short  time  thereafter.  Mr  Carter  re- 
sided at  Rio  Vista  from  1858  until  the 
time  of  his  death  aud  was  a  much  honored 
citizen.

THE  SCHOOL  LIBRARY  SYSTEM  OF  A  CITY. 

By  Elizabeth  Madison^  Director  of  School  Libraries,  Oalvland,  Cal. 


"The  school  library  system  of  a  large 
city"  is  a  fascinating  theme  upon  which 
to  write.  I  am  so  rejoiced  that  the  re- 
quest came  to  write  upon  our  "school 
library  system,"  and  not  upon  our  "school 
library  department,"  for  the  two  things 
seem  to  make  quite  distinct  and  different 
implications.  The  school  libraries  in 
Oakland  are  in  nowise  a  "department" 
unto  themselves,  but  they  do  attempt  to 
be  a  "system"  in  the  same  way  that  the 
veins  on  a  leaf  are  a  system,  or  a  network 
of  waterways  for  carrying  to  the  outmost 
leaf-points  the  precious  cargo  of  life- 
giving  materials  upon  which  the  whole 
leaf  develops. 

Libraries  are  never  an  end  in  them- 
selves. We  should  stop  sometimes  in 
our  days  of  busy  detail — should  we  not? 
— and  remember  this?  Rich  and  fine  liv- 
ing is  an  end  in  itself.  To  this  end 
libraries  justify  themselves,  and  only  to 
this  end.  Libraries  are  truly  measured 
by  the  results  seen  in  people. 

In  school  work  especially  this  truth  is 
brought  home  to  us.  It  is  the  lives  of 
the  young  people  in  the  schools  which 
matter.  If  libraries  can  help  them,  we 
are  for  libraries.  If  some  change  must 
be  made  in  our  libraries  so  that  they  may 
help  the  young  people  better,  then  we 
are  for  that  change.  Change  is  perhaps 
the  most  sacred  thing  in  the  world,  for 
in  it  lies  the  possibility  of  growth. 

We  began  in  1912  to  study  our  young 
people  and  their  needs,  and  at  that,  time 
it  seemed  that  their  greatest  need  was 
book  material  in  high  schools.  Oakland 
High  School  Librax-y  was  the  largest  in 
the  system  then,  containing  about  5,000 
volumes,  catalogued  and  circulated  by 
busy  teachers  in  their  after-school  hours. 
When  a  professional  librarian  was  ap- 
pointed to  that  school,  the  catalog  pre- 
sented many  surprises  to  her.  And  then, 
when  she  looked  around  at  the  splendid 
work  accomplished  for  the  yeoving  peo- 
ple, that  presented  many  surprises,  too. 
We  tried  then  to  change  the  catalog  to 
greater  uniformity,  and  to  change  the 
professional  librarian  to  greater  breadth 
of  view.  I  can  speak  feelingly,  for  I 
was  the  person  who  had  both  these 
changings  to  accomplish.  My  years  in 
Oakland  High  School  were  rich  in  what 
they  had  to  teach. 

At  present  there  are  seven  high  school 
libraries    in    Oakland,   including   a  part- 
time  high  school,   with-  a   total  book   ae- 
51527 


cession  of  70,136.  Between  them,  these 
libraries  take  502  magazines  for  library 
use,  and  about  half  as  many  for  class- 
room instruction,  or  textbook  purposes. 
The  combined  daily  circulation  over  a 
six-months'  period  was  153,129.  Today 
the  average  daily  reference  use  of  the 
combined  libraries  is  about  4,000  in  ad- 
dition. 

Reading  of  high  school  students  is 
on  the  increase.  Five  years  ago  the 
high  school  students,  according  to  the 
circulation  statistics,  read  about  IG  books 
per  student  in  a  year ;  today  they  read 
approximately  234  books.  It  is  interest- 
ing to  speculate  as  to  whether  this  in- 
crease is  due  to  a  general  speeding  up 
of  the  young  people's  facility  in  handling 
books,  owing  to  long  use  of  the  libraries 
in  the  high  schools,  and  the  cumulative 
effect  of  library  instruction ;  or  whether 
it  depends  upon  our  growing  book  col- 
lections ;  or  upon  more  teacher  emphasis 
upon  individual  research  in  the  library ; 
or  upon  our  wiser  selection  of  material 
more  closely  correlated  with  the  courses 
of  study.  But  whatever  the  cause,  we 
note  the  change  with  some  amazement,  in 
face  of  the  counter  attractions  of  danc- 
ing, automobiling,  radio,  the  theater,  and 
the  picture  show  which  are  so  alluring  to 
young  people  in  a  city  the  size  of  Oak- 
land. Also,  it  should  be  noted  that  these 
years  of  increased  reading  are  also  the 
years  in  which  more  and  more  children 
have  come  to  high  schools  who  were  form- 
erly thought  to  belong  to  the  "hand- 
minded"  group.  We  have  in  our  indus- 
trial city,  also,  large  groups  of  young 
people  whose  parents  were  foreign  bom, 
so  that  the  increase  of  English  reading  in 
high  schools  under  these  conditions  is 
doubly  interesting. 

Each  of  the  high  school  libraries,  with 
the  exception  of  part-time,  has  a  pro- 
fessional librarian  in  charge,  who  is  also 
a  college  graduate. 

Book  selection  and  ordering  is  based 
upon  the  course  of  study.  The  day  has 
gone  past  when  the  anxious  high  school 
librarian  consulted  all  the  other  cities' 
library  lists  to  ascertain  just  how  many 
other  libraries  had  ordered  so-and-so. 
Each  high  school  librarian,  with  the  ap- 
proval of  her  principal  and  faculty,  makes 
up  her  library  budget,  apportioning  to 
each  department  in  the  school  its  allow- 
ance from  the  general  library  money 
assigned  to  that  school.     This  allotment

takes  into  consideration  first,  the  num- 
ber of  students  enrolled  in  the  various 
subjects ;  second  the  book  demand  or 
nonbook  demand  in  that  subject  (for 
instance,  mathematics  is  the  antithesis 
of  English  in  book  demand)  ;  third,  the 
wealthy  or  impoverished  nature  of  the 
present  book  collection  in  that  subject ; 
the  relative  cost  of  the  material  in  that 
field ;  the  probable  future  strength  of  the 
subject  in  the  course  of  study  develop- 
ment. These  apportionments  are  arrived 
at  after  very  careful  use  of  pencil,  paper, 
tables,  enrollments,  cost  analyses  and 
brains.  The  resulting  apportionment  is 
often  presented  to  the  faculty  as  a  whole 
at  faculty  meeting ;  and  is  always  pre- 
sented to  the  principal  for  approval.  Aft- 
er it  is  accepted,  each  department  abides 
by  the  division  of  moneys.  The  librarian 
distributes  order  slips  to  the  department 
heads,  who  in  turn  consult  with  their 
teachers.  The  librarian  receives  the 
order  slips  back  from  the  department 
heads,  and  adds  her  own  portion  of  titles, 
sending  the  completed  list  to  the  purchas- 
ing department.  In  this  way  each  de- 
partment fights  out  its  own  battles  for 
preferential  titles,  and  the  order  list, 
when  submitted  to  the  librarian,  repre- 
sents the  department  as  a  whole,  with 
the  approval  of  the  department  head. 

The  librarian  anywhere  along  the  line 
consults  with  the  director  of  any  special 
subject,  or  knows  that  the  department 
head  has  done  so,  with  the  result  that 
the  completed  book  list  is  as  securely 
married  to  the  course  of  study  as  the 
canon  and  the  law  will  allow.  After 
the  local  requisitions  are  completed  they 
pass  over  the  desk  of  the  director  of  the 
course  of  studying  development  in  the 
central  office,  who  consults  with  the  direc- 
tor of  libraries  upon  occasion.  The  plan 
is  to  enrich  the  work  of  the  classroom 
by  the  best  material  of  the  book  markets ; 
to  allow  for  breadth  and  expansion  of 
reading  interests ;  to  furnish  material 
that  shall  be  suitable  for  the  curiosities 
aroused  by  the  teaching ;  to  function 
truly  as  the  leaf  veins  carrying  to  each 
point  the  material  demanded  for  growth. 

Later  in  our  development,  the  teachers 
pi'ofessional  library,  instead  of  a  high 
school  library,  became  the  office  of  the 
library  director,  and  here  a  wonderful 
new  field  of  vision  developed.  In  the 
teachers  library  began  to  accumulate  the 
questions,  needs,  and  forward-looking 
plans  of  progressive  teachers.  The  direct- 
ing librarian  was  privileged  to  know  not 
only  what  the  schools  were  demanding 
but  also  what  the  teachers  were  reading, 


and  were  hoping  to  accomplish.  The 
teachers  professional  library  serves  also 
the  chief  school  executives,  so  that  the 
long  sweep  of  the  educational  plan  from 
kindergarten  through  high  school,  and 
up  to  the  course  of  study  committees 
and  the  executives'  busy  offices  correlates 
more  and  more  closely  with  the  library's 
contribution. 

The  junior  high  school  development 
marked  a  new  era  for  expansion  of  the 
school  library  system.  In  Oakland  six- 
teen junior  high  schools  made  their  ap- 
pearance within  a  few  years.  They  had 
scarcely  come  into  being  before  their 
book  demand  formed  one  of  the  x-eally 
weighty  problems  of  administration.  This 
is  not  to  be  wondered  at  when  we  re- 
member Dr  Lewis  Terman's  warning  in 
his  book  on  Children's  Reading,  that  the 
peak  of  the  reading  age  is  during  the 
junior  high  school  period.  Any  junior 
high  school  should  receive  along  with 
its  corner  stone,  an  apportionment  of 
$500  for  each  1,000  pupils  to  be  enrolled 
as  a  flat  budget  for  mere  reference  ma- 
terial, and  one  dollar  per  pupil  for  its 
circulation  needs.  The  equipment  as  set 
up  in  the  C.  C.  Certain  report  is  none 
too  high,  although,  alas,  few  have  been 
able  to  fully  realize  it.  If  retrenchment 
must  be  made  somewhere,  I  would  rather 
see  it  dealt  out  in  reasonable  measure 
along  the  equipment  side,  and  the  money 
saved  for  books,  books,  books  and  more' 
books, — all  of  them  well  chosen,  related 
to  the  interests  aroused  by  the  teaching, 
beautiful  as  possible  in  printing  and  illus- 
trating, and  well  administered  in  the 
matter  of  cataloguing  and  circulating. 
The  present  Oakland  program  of  a  half- 
day  library  service  in  every  junior  high 
school  is  eagerly  awaiting  expansion  to  a 
full  day  program. 

In  every  high  school  and  junior  high 
school  in  California  we  have  with  us 
the  problem  of  the  textbook.  These  run 
about  17  for  every  high  school  student 
and  10  for  every  junior  high  school  stu- 
dent, by  actual  circulation.  In  Oakland 
they  are  administered  by  textbook  clerks 
in  the  high  schools,  who  Avork  under  ^he 
direction  of  the  librarians.  This  enables 
the  librarians  to  supervise  the  compli- 
cated reports  that  close  the  term's  work, 
and  to  make  calculations  as  to  the  next 
year's  demands  of  new  titles.  Some 
librarians  say  that  the  supervisorial 
knowledge  which  they  gain  of  the  pos- 
sibilities of  the  textbook  room  compen- 
sates for  the  extra  labor  of  supervision. 

In  the  junior  high  schools  the  text- 
book situation  should  be  considered  very

NEWS  NOTES   OF   CALIFORNIA  LIBRARIES.        -    [April,  1927 


The  "study  center"  or  library  at  Lafayette  School  contains  a  section  devoted  to 
real  travel  folders.  Geography  vitalized  this  way  becomes  a  research  problem 
for  pupils   according  to   Miss  Emma    Gelinas,  teacher-librarian  at  Lafayette. 


At  Lafayette  School  Library  a  study  group  using  visual  aid  material  has  paused 
to  consult  the  librarian  on  a  knotty  point  in  geography.  Mr  Leo  Taylor  is 
principal    of    this    sixth-grade    school.

seriously.  A  good  textbook  clerk  will 
solve  the  problem  of  overwork  and  over- 
expenditure  of  money  in  many  cases. 
But  to  waste  the  precious  time  of  a 
teacher-librarian  upon  checldng  in  and 
checking  out  great  masses  of  textbooks 
without  clerical  help  is  a  condition  which 
distresses  any  good  library  administrator. 
A  half-time  book  clerk  and  a  half-time 
librarian  is  better  than  a  full-time  libra- 
rian trying  to  do  true  library  guidance 
work,  but  overburdened  with  textbook 
service.  A  textbook  clerk  relieves  all 
this  and  gives  the  librarian  a  chance  to 
function  in  her  real  field. 

In  junior  high  school  the  contribution 
of  a  true  lover  of  children  and  of  books 
finds  a  most  rich  and  grateful  reception. 
Sometimes  this  contribution  is  made  by 
a  splendid  teacher  who  has  taken  over 
library  work,  and  sometimes  by  a  libra- 
rian who  has  the  teaching  heart,  and 
teaching  knowledge.  It  should  not  be 
attempted  by  a  novice  in  either  field. 

The  junior  high  school  libi*arian  must 
know  first :  the  child's  purpose  in  the 
book  request  which  he  makes ;  second : 
the  alignment  or  nonalignment  of  his 
purpose  with  the  purpose  of  the  teacher 
and  grade  in  which  he  is  working ;  third : 
the  child's  reading  ability,  which  quite 
often  varies  widely  from  his  chronological 
age,  or  his  grade ;  fourth :  the  child's 
social  age,  or  the  age  of  book  which  he 
thinks  he  needs ;  fifth :  where  the  ma- 
terial can  be  found  that  can  fit  the 
child's  purpose,  his  teacher's  purpose, 
the  child's  reading  age,  his  interest,  or 
social  age ;  and  sixth :  what  use  is  the 
child  making  of  the  material  given  to 
him ;  does  he  need  further  guidance  ? 
Should  that  guidance  be  encouragement? 
Or  stimulation  of  a  more  critical  nature? 
In  other  words,  is  the  right  book  func- 
tioning in  right  reactions  on  the  part  of 
the  child?  All  of  this  is  the  junior 
high  school  librarian's  job,  and  it  is  her 
job  on  each  request  that  comes  to  her 
out  of  the  300  or  so  in  the  day.  When 
she  has  accomplished  this  task,  she  is 
ready  to  begin  on  the  problem  of  start- 
ing up  new  interests,  what  is  sometimes 
called  "original  inspiration"  work. 

Any  junior  high  school  librarian  should 
be  thoroughly  familiar  with  the  course  of 
study,  and  with  the  teaching  techniques 
in  her  school.  The  library  is  the  supply 
system  for  accomplishing  the  work  of 
that  school.  It  is  not  a  separate  depart- 
ment. It  is  a  supply  system.  It  is  the 
librarian's  business  to  know  and  under- 
stand teachers.    Their  interests  and  aims 


become  her  interests  and  aims.  Some- 
times she  has  the  pleasure  and  privilege 
of  enriching  and  widening  their  material 
and  contributing  to  their  outlook.  But 
first  of  all  she  must  grasp  their  purpose 
sympathetically,  and  combine  it  with  the 
child's  purpose,  just  as  the  good  teacher 
makes  the  same  combination. 

Among  the  books  which  the  junior 
high  school  librarian  should  know  with  a 
sort  of  Biblical  familiarity  are  Terman 
and  Lima  on  Children's  Reading ;  Wash- 
burne  and  Vogel  in  Winnetka  Graded 
Book  List ;  Huber,  Bruner  and  Curry 
in  Children's  Interests  in  Poetry ;  Huey 
in  The  Psychology  and  Pedagogy  of 
Reading ;  Judd,  on  Reading :  Its  Nature 
and  Development,  or  a  more  recent  book 
in  an  equivalent  field ;  Uhl  in  The 
Materials  of  Reading ;  Department  of 
Superintendence  Fourth  Yearbook  (Na- 
tional Education  Association)  in  the  Na- 
tion at  Work  on  the  Public  School  Cur- 
riculum ;  Terman's  Intelligence  of  School 
Children ;  Goddard's  Human  Efficiency 
and  Levels  of  Intelligence ;  and  books 
like  the  three  following :  Freeland,  Mod- 
ern Elementary  School  Practice ;  Free- 
man, Psychology  of  the  Common 
Branches ;  Douglass,  Secondary  Educa- 
tion. A  school  librarian  who  has  special- 
ized upon  sources  of  book  purchase,  the 
names  of  illustrators  and  writers  and 
methods  of  making  subject  cards,  but  has, 
not  studied  the  children  who  are  to  read 
the  books,  nor  the  aims  of  the  teaching 
system  which  is  arousing  their  reading 
interests,  is  like  a  person  who  would  be 
a  physician,  but  knows  only  drug  ma- 
terials, but  not  the  people  who  are  to  be 
affected  by  them,  nor  the  reasons  nor 
conditions  which  should  determine  their 
application. 

In  Oakland  we  are  fortunate  in  hav- 
ing a  group  of  teacher-librarians  who 
have  both  this  professional  point  of  view, 
and  the  training  to  make  it  effective.  In 
one  of  our  junior  high  schools  the  libra- 
rian is  working  with  the  research  depart- 
ment in  a  test  of  book  materials  for 
C- Section  pupils.  At  the  end  of  a  year 
or  two  this  piece  of  work  will  be  a  real 
contribution  in  a  very  puzzling  field. 

Librarians  of  this  type  become  study 
leaders  in  their  schools.  But  such  a 
position  cannot  be  attained  unless  the 
librarian  holds  the  same  teaching  creden- 
tial and  pedagog  background  that  assures 
the  respect  and  following  of  the  teachers. 

The  elementary  school  libraries  pre- 
sent the  most  alluring  possibilities.  Here 
are  gathered  the  children  in  their  early

habit-forming  period.  Achievement  tests 
in  later  grades,  together  with  case  study 
work,  such  as  that  conducted  by  Terman, 
shows  the  great  value  of  early  exposure 
of  children  to  books  that  interest,  stimu- 
late and  familiarize  the  child  with  the 
technique  of  the  printed  and  pictured 
page.  Here  again  the  librarian's  duty 
is  that  of  understanding  different  read- 
ing levels ;  vocabulary  suitability ;  size 
of  printing  suitable  for  different  ages ; 
individual  differences  in  reading  children ; 
teachers'  purposes  in  assignments. 

In  Oakland  the  elementary  libraries 
are  developing  carefully,  sometimes  so 
carefully  that  we  feel  the  word  should 
be  "slowly."  They  are  taking  form,  how- 
ever. One  sixth  grade  school  has  a 
library  room  about  one  hundred  feet  by 
fifty,  with  a  half-time  teacher-librarian 
in  charge  who  teaches  the  rest  of  the 
day  and  is  thoroughly  familiar  with  the 
objectives  of  the  school. 

The  room  is  divided  into  -two  parts 
by  folding  doors.  In  one  end  are  the 
reading  tables  and  most  of  the  fiction, 
magazines  and  individual  reading  ma- 
terial. In  the  other  end  of  the  room 
are  collected  the  stereopticon,  with  its 
screen  always  in  place,  and  the  collec- 
tion of  pictures,  slides,  globes  and  maps 
that  represent  the  visual  instruction  ma- 
terial of  the  school.  In  this  room  also 
are  the  reference  books,  so  that  the  book, 
the  picture  and  the  actual  objects  of 
study,  such  as  models,  real  cotton,  real 
flowers,  or  other  exhibit  matei'ial,  may 
be  assembled  for  student  use.  Two  large 
work  tables  covered  with  bright  linoleum 
corresponding  with  the  decorative  color 
of  the  room,  offer  a  work-space  for  stu- 
dents who  wish  to  paste  note  books,  cut 
pictures  to  size,  work  on  small  models 
or  do  any  of  the  hundred  and  one  tasks 
that  make  the  project  method  of  teaching 
a  lovely  snare  for  learning. 

Students  in  this  room  move  freely  to 
the  picture  files,  the  slide  collection,  the 
books,  the  tables,  and  wiU  turn  on  the  elec- 
tricity and  try  out  slides  which  they  wish 
to  rehearse  before  giving  some  class  demon- 
stration. The  pupils  of  this  school  are 
so  familiar  with  the  group  method  of 
working,  that  they  each  go  about  their 
tasks  quite  undisturbed  by  the  fact  that 
some  other  group  nearby  is  engaged  upon 
quite'  another  matter.  The  pupils  in 
the  opposite  end  of  the  room  read  on 
quietly,  without  thinking  of  the  activity 
in  the  adjacent  and  open  room  as  dis- 
tracting at  all.  To  attain  a  result  like 
this  it  is  necessary  first  of  all  to  have 
the  guiding  librarian  of  the  right  calibre, 


thoroughly  familiar  with  school  object- 
ives and  methods ;  entirely  capable  of 
handling  group  work  in  quantity ;  or- 
derly ;  sympathetic ;  controlful ;  then  the 
room  must  be  large  enough,  well  lighted, 
attractive  and  harmonious ;  well  equip- 
ped ;  happiness,  encouragement,  success 
must  be  spelt  in  each  visible  activity. 

In  elementary  schools  of  course  there 
are  no  free  study  periods  like  those  in 
high  school,  so  it  is  necessary  to  schedule 
each  class  to  the  library  as  often  as 
possible,  and  to  keep  the  schedule  free 
from  complications.  The  teacher  usually 
comes  to  the  library  room  (which,  by 
the  way,  we  like  to  call  the  "study  ac- 
tivities room")  with  her  class,  and  works 
with  the  librarian,  giving  and  exchanging 
ideas  about  the  work,  and  the  available 
material.  The  fact  that  the  librarian 
is  a  teacher,  sympathetic  with  teachers' 
aims,  is  a  gi'eat  help  here. 

The  correlation  between  visual  educa- 
tion material  and  book  material  becomes 
very  obvious  as  we  go  along.  Both  these 
kinds  of  materials  are  merely  ideas  or 
tools  in  learning.  They  very  naturally 
require  the  same  kind  of  assembling, 
cataloging,  distributing,  collecting,  and 
further,  correlating  with  the  courses  of 
instruction.  The  visual  aids  material 
becomes  naturally  a  part  of  the  librarian's 
responsibilities.  They  are  used  by  the 
same  groups  in  preparing  the  same  sub- 
jects, and  are  most  useful  when  found  in 
the  same  place. 

The  new  courses  of  study  list  the 
visual  material  available,  or  refer  to 
it  sufiiciently  to  furnish  the  needed  sug- 
gestion for  further  investigation.  The 
constant  references  to  the  school  libra- 
ries in  teachers'  and  directors'  notices 
and  courses  is  one  of  the  most  encourag- 
ing signs  of  the  real  affiliation  of  the 
libraries  and  the  school  rooms. 

Mr  Gillis  of  the  State  Library  used 
to  remind  us  that  "a  library  used  to  be 
a  place  to  keep  books  in,  but  under  the 
modem  interpretation  it  is  a  place  to 
keep  books  out."  Many  and  many  a  time 
in  school  work  have  I  remembered  his 
wisdom  in  this  saying.  The  school 
library,  especially  in  an  elementary 
school,  should  be  the  central  pool,  the 
big  collecting  and  redistributing  part  of 
the  irrigation  system,  but  the  class  room 
itself  should  be  the  place  where  the 
material  is  finally  carried.  In  judging 
the  efiiciency  of  a  school  library  system  in 
any  given  school  the  library  director 
comes  to  cast  a  quick  eye  over  any  school 
room    she    enters   to   see   if   the   reading

107 


table  and  the  beauty  corner  in  the  room 
are  well  supplied  with  books,  magazines, 
pictures,  small  objects  of  interest  or 
beauty,  well  selected  from  the  central 
library  collection  in  the  school.  If  there 
is  no  local  reading  table,  or  if  it  is  poorly 
furnished,  something  is  wrong  with  the 
system,  no  matter  how  opulent  and  at- 
tractive the  main  school  library  may  be. 
A  main  school  library  is  a  place  to  keep 
books  out.  Good  books  in  the  class 
rooms,  interesting  books,  pictureful  books, 
books  properly  suited  in  vocabulary, 
printing,  illustration,  subject  content  and 
general  attractiveness  to  the  grade  and 
its  pupils  should  be  the  best  proof  that 
the  central  collection  is  fulfilling  its  func- 
tion, and  is  lending  freely,  generously 
and  wisely  to  each  teacher  according  to 
her  needs.  When  conditions  like  this 
are  not  evident  the  trouble  is  either  with 
a  misunderstanding  of  the  out-spreading 
function  of  the  central  library,  or  there 
is  poverty  in  the  allotment  of  book 
money.  This  latter  is  the  usual  cause. 
More  books,  more  material,  more  enrich- 
ment of  tools  is  the  need  in  the  elemen- 
tary libraries,  as  in  the  junior  high 
schools. 

The  school  library  becomes  a  wonder- 
working place  for  teaching  cooperation 
and  socialization  among  students,  helpful- 
ness among  teachers,  and  social  service 
of  a  high  order.  A  whole  chapter  could 
be  written  upon  library  clubs  and  their 
contribution  to  school  life.  Methods  for 
getting  children  to  read  spread  out  into 
home  and  social  relationships  that  are 
amazing  in  their  possibilities.  Some  of 
the  accomplisments  in  securing  student 
service  and  student  planning  furnish  a 
sort  of  delightful  fairy  story  to  the 
enthusiastic  librarian.  In  one  of  our  six- 
year  schools  the  large  library  on  the  first 
floor  was  considered  delightful,  but  awe- 
inspiring,    so    the    junior    high    division 


established  a  library  in  their  class  room, 
so  that  they  could  manage  it  themselves, 
and  learn  as  they  went.  They  have 
turned  their  class  room  over  completely 
into  a  small  library,  and  here  all  their 
work  is  accomplished.  They  borrow  from 
the  main  school  library,  and  report  their 
reactions  with  delightful  frankness,  mak- 
ing a  contribution  which  the  directing 
librarian  of  the  school  treasures  like  a 
first  edition. 

An  interesting  development  is  the  class 
of  thirty  junior  high  and  elementary 
school  teacher-librarians  who  meet  to  dis- 
cuss their  problems,  and  work  out  meth- 
ods. They  are  applying  the  same  sys- 
tem of  investigation  to  their  work  and 
its  needs  that  any  research  department 
would  do. 

In  the  elementary  and  junior  high 
school  fields  lie  the  big  promises  for  the 
young,  well  trained  and  enthusiastic 
workers.  Here  the  ground  has  barely 
been  planted,  yet  it  springs  into  bud  and 
blossom,  almost  over  night. 

A  guiding  principle  which  appears 
again  and  again  is  the  purpose  to  make 
the  child  happy  and  successful  in  his 
present  needs  and  desires,  and  yet  to 
make  those  present  fulfilments  contribute 
to  his  future  (and  as  yet  little  com- 
prehended) objectives.  In  such  a  pur- 
pose must  be  united  the  child's  wishes 
of  today,  and  the  teacher's  knowledge  ^ 
of  tomorrow,  and  the  union  must  be 
brought  about  in  contentment  and  joy. 
Here  is  a  real  profession  for  a  real 
librarian,  a  life  contribution  for  a  real 
person.  Who  can  doubt  that  it  will 
challenge  the  best  types  of  people  that 
our  profession  prepares?

Alameda  Co.  Free  Library,  Oakland. 
Miss  Mary  Barmby,  Lib'n. 

On  January  15  a  branch  library  was 
opened  at  Ashland,  a  small  community  not 
served  directly  by  any  other  branch. 
.Highland  Branch  was  opened  in  March. 

There  was  a  meeting  on  March  18  of  the 
county  branch  library  attendants.  Twenty- 
two  attended  and  gave  interesting  items 
about  their  branches  in  answer  to  roll 
call.  The  books  included  in  the  Reading 
With  a  Purpose  series  had  been  sent  out 
to  the  various  branches  a  few  days  before. 
The  publicity  in  connection  with  them 
was  discussed.  Each  attendant  was  given 
material  to  make  a  poster  pertinent  to 
the  group  of  books  she  had  received.  The 
poster  will  be  displayed  with  the  books. 
Each  group  of  books  will  be  changed  the 
fifteenth  of  each  month  until  every  branch 
has  had  the  entire  list.  Any  of  the  books 
that  are  requested  by  a  branch  as  a  per- 
manent loan  will  be  sent  to  that  branch 
when  the  books  have  been  the  round  of  the 
branches. 

March  29,  twenty-six  members  of  the 
University  of  California  library  class  and 
three  from  the  MUls  College  library  staff 
were  taken  on  the  annual  trip  through 
Alameda  County  to  see  the  different  types 
of  library  service.  Miss  Barmby,  with 
three  members  of  her  staff  and  Miss  Stella 
Huntington  and  Miss  Ann  Kennedy 
accompanied  the  party  to  act  as  hostesses 
and  guides. 

The  picture  collection  has  been  worked 
over  and  put  into  much  more  attractive

shape.  Many  of  the  teachers  have  availed 
themselves  of  it  since  the  first  of  the  year. 
On  March  31,  Miss  Barmby,  with  Miss 
Baird  and  Mrs  Mitcheltree  went  to  Sacra- 
mento to  visit  the  State  Library,  the  Sac- 
ramento County  Library  and  the  Sacra-

Librarian  Joeckel  announced  Feb.  26 
that  the  new  South  Berkeley  branch  build- 
ing was  practically  completed.  Furniture 
and  shelving  are  now  on  the  way  from  the 
East.  The  building  includes  two  large 
reading  rooms,  a  story-hour  room  and  a 
clubroom.  Each  reading  room  has  a  seat- 
ing capacity  of  100. — Oakland  Times,

(Embossed  Book)  Library.  E,.  S. 
French,   Prin. 

The  new  school  building  will  be  occupied 
about  the  end  of  May  and  regular  school 
work  will  be  taken  up  in  this  building  at 
the  beginning  of  the  new  school  year, 
August  29,  1927.  Provision  is  made  for 
one  large  stack  room  for  embossed  books 
with  shelf  space  for  about  five  thousand 
volumes.  Purchases  of  the  last  three  years 
make  the  library  of  the  California  School 
for  the  Blind  one  of  the  largest  school 
libraries  in  the  country.  Practically  all  of 
the  recent  publications  in  Revised  Braille, 
grade  one  and  one-half,  and  a  large  pro- 
portion of  publications  in  grade  two,  will 
be  available  for  our  readers  in  the  new 
stack  room.  Of  the  more  important  works, 
a  number  of  copies  have  been  purchased, 
the  ideal  of  the  school  being  to  have  one 
copy  available  of  each  text  or  important 
reference  work  for  each  pupil  of  any 
given  class. 

The  assembly  room  immediately  adjoin- 
ing the  stack  room  will  be  used  as  a  gen- 
eral reading  room  for  students.  Borrow- 
ing by  readers  outside  of  the  school  will 
not  be  encouraged  except  in  extraordinary 
cases  ;  exchanges,  however,  will  be  possible

U.   S.   Feench,  Priu. 

Garfield  Junior  High  School  Li- 
brary. D.  L.  Hennessey,  Prin.  Eliza- 
beth I.  Patton,  Lib'n. 

Pages  of  literature,  history,  and  fiction 
came  to  life  on  February  21  when  the 
annual  "Library  Day"  was  observed  by 
the  Garfield  Junior  High  School.  Follow- 
ing a  custom  of  six  years  standing,  pupUs 
and  teachers  impersonated  for  the  day, 
books  and  characters  from  history  and 
literature.  This  was  pronounced  the  most 
successful  thus  far,  both  from  a  literary 
and  artistic  standpoint. 

"The  Vision  of  Young  America,"  written 
and  directed  by  Elizabeth  Patton,  the 
school  librarian,  was  portrayed  by  two 
hundred  children.  "The  Vision  of  Young 
America"  is  a  play  in  which  Billy,  a  boy 
who  hates  to  go  to  school  and  doesn't  care 
for  books  but  longs  to  be  a  pirate,  falls 
asleep  and  sees  in  his  dream  the  various 
subjects  taught  in  school  dramatized  before 
him.  Mathematics,  English,  history,  sci- 
ence, foreign  languages,  geography,  art 
and  library  books  appear  before  him  in  a 
colorful  pageant  dramatized  by  groups  of 
boys  and  girls.  So  attractive  is  the  pres- 
entation that  Billy  decides  not  to  be  a 
pirate,  after  all.  Two  programs  were  pre- 
sented, the  auditorium  being  crowded  with 
parents  and  friends. 

Following  the  afternoon  progi'am  the 
twelve  hundred  in  costume  paraded 
through  the  corridors  and  across  the  stage. 
The  judges  were  Miss  Mai*y  Barmby,  Ala- 
meda County  librarian ;  Mrs  Alice  Whit- 
beck,  Contra  Costa  County  librarian  ;  Miss 
Mabelle  Wilson  and  Miss  Horatio  Ailing. 
From  the  great  number  of  beautifully  pre- 
sented books  and  characters,  they  selected 
the  following : 

Class  groups :  First  prize.  Classic 
Myths.  Second  prize.  United  States  His- 
toi-y.  Third  prize,  "Characters  from 
Dickens."  Honorable  mention,  "Ben  Hur." 

Smaller  groups :  First  prize,  "The 
Standard  Bearer."  Second  prize,  "East

The  gift  of  the  private  library  of  D.  M. 
Conner,  an  old-time  Livermorean,  now  of 
Modesto,  was  accepted  by  the  Livermore 
Library  trustees  at  their  meeting  Jan.  31, 
and  the  books  will  be  placed  in  a  special 
section  to  be  known  as  "The  Judge  D.  M.

ner has  been  an  Odd  Fellow  for  fifty  years, 
and  for  this  reason  is  giving  the  library 
in  the  name  of  that  fraternity  as  well  as 
making  it  a  personal  gift.  He  is  also 
inspired  in  this  by  the  fact  that  the  local 
library  was  originally  started  through 
purchase  of  the  Odd  Fellows  Library  of 
Oakland.  Included  in  the  gift  is  Mr  Con-

FRESNO  CO. — Continued. 

The  four  Parent-Teacher  Associations 
in  the  Sierra  Vista  tract,  a  suburb  of 
Fresno,  asked  for  a  branch  that  would 
serve  their  district,  as  it  is  too  far  for  the 
children  to  use  the  main  library.  On 
January  6  the  branch  was  opened  and  has 
steadily  grown  until  it  will  be  necessary  to 
open  three  days  a  week.  As  was  foreseen, 
the  patrons  are  largely  children,  though  a 
number  of  adults  are  also  using  it. 

The  custodian  of  the  Auberry  Branch 
had  to  resign  on  account  of  ill  health  and 
the  branch  was  moved  from  her  home  up 
to  New  Auberry,  several  miles  away, 
where  there  is  a  larger  population.  The 
move  has  proved  to  be  a  good  one  as  the 
registi'ation  and  circulation  have  grown 
very  much  in  the  three  months  since  the 
change.  The  Southern  California  Edison 
Company  gave  us  the  use  of  a  small  room 
in  the  general  building  and  Mrs  Mae 
Lodge  was  appointed  custodian. 

In  February  the  Chamber  of  Commerce 
of  Sanger  had  a  housewarming  in  the 
library  so  that  the  people  of  the  town 
could  see  the  improvements  which  had 
just  been  made  in  the  building.  An  inter- 
esting program  was  given,  consisting  of 
music  and  addresses  by  the  Mayor,  the 
Chairman  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors 
and  the  County  Librarian.  During  the 
evening  the  Chamber  of  Commerce  pre- 
sented the  library  with  a  very  handsome 
painting  of  the  General  Grant  big  tree, 
which  will  be  hung  in  the  main  reading 
room. 

Our  staff  meetings  this  winter  have 
been  in  the  hands  of  the  staff  themselves 
and  they  have  arranged  some  very  inter- 
esting meetings,  with  outside  speakers. 
Two  of  these  told  us  of  their  European 
experiences,  one  from  the  viewpoint  of  the 
tourist  and  the  other  from  that  of  the 
student.  The  Home  Demonstration  Agent 
of  Fresno  County  talked  one  day,  telling 
of  the  work  of  her  department.  We  have 
been  glad  to  hear  the  experiences  of  people 
in  other  lines  of  work. 

Mrs  Henshall  paid  us  a  visit  in  Febru- 
ary, spending  a  couple  of  days.  She  visited 
the  town  branches  one  day  and  that  after- 
noon had  tea  with  us  and  told  the  staff 
some  of  the  interesting  things  other  coun- 
ties are  doing.  On  the  second  day  she 
visited  some  of  the  branches  out  in  the 
county  and  was  kind  enough  to  express 


FRESNO  CO.— Continued. 

herself  as  well  pleased  with  what  she  saw. 

We  lost  something  over  three  hundred 
books  in  the  snow  slide  which  swept  away 
so  much  of  Camp  72  of  the  Southern  Cali- 
fornia Edison  Company.  They  were 
housed  in  the  recreation  building,  one  of 
the  first  to  go.  It  is  hardly  possible  that 
any  will  be  recovered  in  usable  shape, 
though  a  few  which  were  in  circulation 
will  be  returned. 

Miss  Hurlbut,  Children's  Librarian,  has 
been  visiting  the  town  and  county  schools, 
telling  stories  and  interesting  the  children 
in  the  library.  These  visits  always  result 
in  increased  registration  and  circulation 
in  the  branches  near  the  schools.

The  morning  session  was  held  in  the

talking  about  Glenn  County  Library 
methods  and  with  introduction  of  the 
custodians  one  to  the  other.  Twelve  cus- 
todians were  present.  Luncheon  was 
served  at  the  Barton  Hotel  with  the 
library  folks  as  guests  of  the  Willows 
Kiwanis  Club.  Mr  Ferguson  was  the  inter- 
esting speaker  of  the  hour.  The  custodians 
enjoyed  the  "fun  stunt"  of  the  men.  The 
club  was  surprised  to  learn  that  so  many 
people  in  Glenn  County  were  doing  library 
work.  Miss  N.  C.  Laugenour,  of  Yolo

During  this  quarter  a  new  branch  was 
established  in  the  Hoopa  Valley  Indian 
Reservation.  Until  very  recently  all  the 
land  in  the  valley  was  owned  and  con- 
trolled by  the  United  States  Government 
and  was  not  subject  to  taxation  for  county 
purposes.  Within  the  last  few  years  the 
government  has  been  giving  titles  to  the 
residents  there  for  the  land  they  have 
occupied  for  many  years.  They  are  there- 
fore taxpayers  in  the  county  and  privi- 
leged to  ask  for  the  benefits  to  be  derived 
from  such  taxation.  A  library  is  one  of 
the  privileges  they  requested  first  and  we 
started  them  off  with  a  consignment  of 
350  books.  Miss  Virginia  Thoruhill,  a 
teacher  in  the  school,  will  have  charge  of 
the  branch.

The  past  three  months  have  been  very 
busy  ones  for  us.  During  this  period  the 
librarian  and  her  first  assistant  have  given 
talks  on  the  development  and  the  aims  of 
the  county  library  system  in  California. 
These  talks  were  given  along  with  show- 
ing the  fifty  slides  which  wei"e  talken  all 
over  the  state,  clearly  showing  the  dif- 
ferent departments  and  activities.  The 
Farm  Bureau  Department  loaned  us  their 
machine  and  it  was  at  their  largest  center 
meetings  that  the  talks  were  given.  It 
made  an  ideal  way  of  covering  the  county. 

In  January  Miss  Douden,  librarian  at 
Brawley,  held  a  doll  day  story  hour. 
Nearly  every  girl  brought  a  doll.  She  told 
one  story  and  then  the  girls  gave  reviews 
of  doll  stories.  "Memoirs  of  a  London 
Doll,"  "Dolls  of  Many  Lands"  and  "Story 
of  the  Little  Wooden  Doll"  were  all  used. 
Another  little  girl  recited  "The  Lost  Doll" 
by  Aldrich.  Inexpensive  prizes  were  given 
to  the  little  girl  with  the  prettiest  doll  and 
the  most  unique.  There  were  forty-two 
[present  and  they  all  had  lots  of  fun  over  it. 

Several  librarians  attended  the  Sixth 
District  meeting  held  at  Ontario.  It  was 
a  fine  meeting  and  it  was  good  to  be  there.

The  second  wildflower  show  to  be  given 
in  Delano  proved  as  splendid  a  success  as 
the  iirst  one  several  years  ago.  Mrs  Lillian 
Howland,  local  librarian,  sponsored  the 
show,  which  was  held  at  the  Delano 
Branch  Library.  A  small  prize,  offered 
to  school  children  for  the  largest  variety 
of  wildflower  specimens  brought  in,  cre- 
ated enthusiasm  among  high  school  and 
grammar  school  students.  Two  girls  tied 
for  the  pz-ize,  each  girl  having  41  speci- 
mens of  floral  life  from  the  mountain  and 
valley  districts  in  this  vicinity.  The

The  Garden  Club  of  Claremont,  which 
last  year  had  but  a  small  show,  this  year, 
on  March  28  and  29,  had  a  fine  and  widely 
representative  exhibition  well  worth  any- 
one's going  a  long  distance  to  see.  There 
were  wild  flowers  from  desert  and  beach, 
from  wash  and  mountain — plants  from  as 
far  off  as  the  San  Joaquin  Valley  and  all 
admirably  arranged  as  to  family,  carefully 
labeled  with  habitat,  noted  so  that  folk 
might  see  the  difference  in  color  and  habit 
of  the  same  plant  growing  under  different 
conditions.  There  wei'e  lovely  arrange- 
ments in  basket  and  vase,  charming  little 
groups  of  a  single  species  in  exactly  the 
right  v-ase  or  jar  or  basket.  Also  there 
was  information  as  to  which  could  be 
domesticated  easily. 

It  is  a  delightful  use  of  a  library — this 
to  which  the  little  library  at  Claremont 
lends  itself.  And  if  the  spirits  of  authors 
are  ever  about  their  books,  how  the  poets 
would  enjoy  this  occasion ! — Los  Angeles

On  January  12,  Miss  Mildred  Berrier, 
assistant  librarian  of  the  Jefferson  High 
School,  Los  Angeles,  accompanied  30  stu- 
dents, who  have  elected  the  high  school 
course  in  library  work,  on  a  visit  to  the 
Los  Angeles  County  Library. 

The  County  Library  has  published  the 
first  and  second  numbers  of  a  quarterly 
bulletin  to  be  called  "Books  and  Notes  of 
the  Los  Angeles  County  Free  Libx-ai-y." 
The  October  number  contains  the  annual 
report  for  the  year  1925-1926.  An  account 
of  the  Los  Angeles  County  Free  Library 
giving  its  history  from  the  organization 
in  1912  up  to  the  date  of  the  first  bulletin, 
will  appear  as  a  special  feature  of  some 
future  number. 

The  purpose  of  the  bulletin  is  to  pro- 
vide for  the  use  of  patrons,  a  more  acces- 
sible list  of  the  books  added  to  the  library 
from  time  to  time,  also  to  make  the  work 
of  the  libi'aiT  more  generally  known  to

The  annual  report  covering  the  fiscal 
year  ending  June  30,  1926,  is  in  print.  The 
seven  mill  tax  provided  an  income  of 
$1,027,280.  The  volumes  in  the  library 
number  643,977,  and  the  total  circulation 
for  the  year  was  5,521,889.  Library  serv- 
ice was  extended  throughout  the  city  by 
means  of  43  branches  and  86  stations. 
The  total  number  of  people  holding  cards 
was  231,799. 

A  beautiful  handbook  has  been  printed —

Another  department  was  found  to  be 
desirable  and  has  been  authorized  by  the 
board,  that  of  Philosophy  and  Religion, 
to  be  organized  for  service  in  the  fall. 

One  hundred  and  fifty  members  of  the 
staff  have  paid  their  annual  dues  to  the 
California  Library  Association. 

Visitors  during  the  past  three  months, 
whose  talks  were  enjoyed  by  the  staff, 
were  Mr  Melcher  and  Dr  Hill. 

The  Lecture  and  Exhibits  Room  has 
beeu  in  constant  use  for  meetings,  lectures 
and  exhibits,  some  thirty  organizations 
using  the  room  regularly.  Two  chamber 
music  concerts,  sponsored  by  Mrs  Eliza- 
beth Sprague  Coolidge  were  much  enjoyed. 

Changes  in  the  staff  include  the  coming 
of  Miss  Eva  G.  Leslie  as  Supervisor  of 
Children's  work,  and  the  appointment  of 
Miss  Hollingsworth,  Principal  of  the  new 
Municipal  Reference  branch  to  be  estab- 
lished in  the  new  City  Hall  within  a 
year,  and  Miss  Livsey  as  Principal  of  the 
School  and  Teachers  Department  and  the 
Juvenile  Room  in  the  Central  Library. 

The  work  for  the  blind  is  a  new 
development  slowly  and  satisfactorily 
making  itself  known.  Books  for  the  blind 
are  shelved  in  the  Patents  Room,  and  free 
reading  sessions  have  been  given  here  each 
Saturday  afternoon,  from  two  to  five, 
when  volunteer  readers  read  aloud  from 
current  magazines  and  recent  books. 

The  occasion  of  the  presentation  to  the 
library  of  a  bust  of  Franklin  by  the 
Master  Printers  of  Los  Angeles  on  Janu- 
ai'y  26,  was  accompanied  by  a  fine  pro- 
gram, the  keynote  to  which  was  a  sincere 
appreciation  of  Benjamin  Franklin's 
greatness. 

A  junior  attendant  class  of  twenty-nine 
young  women  selected  from  one  hundred 
fifty  applicants  of  unusual  worth  began 
its  two  months  course  of  study  March  1. 

A  "Guide  to  Periodicals,"  an  alphabeti- 
cal list  of  all  the  periodicals  and  serials  on 
file  in  the  library  was  compiled  by  the 
Periodical  Department.  One  hundred  sets 
were  printed  and  bound  by  the  library 
staff  so  each  department  and  larger  branch 
might  have  a  copy. 

An  unusual  and  most  acceptable  gift 
was  that  of  2000  volumes  of  bound  news-

papers  which  the  Los  Angeles  Examiner 

had   brought  together  from   half  a  dozen 

larger  cities  of  the  United  States. 

Because  of  the  great  need  for  more 
branch  library  buildings,  the  Board  of 
Library  Commissioners  sent  a  letter  to 
the  City  Council,  asking  that  a  bond  issue 
of  $1,000,000  be  placed  on  the  ballot  for 
the  spring  election. 

New  branches  are  being  opened  in  such 
rapid  succession  that  it  is  difiicult  to  keep 
up  with  them !  Out  of  the  .$.500,000  bonds 
voted  in  June,  1925,  the  following  new 
buildings  were  erected  and  furnished : 
Washington  Irving  Branch  at  Eighteenth 
and  Arlington  sts.,  formally  opened  to  the 
public  March  8 ;  Robert  Louis  Stevenson 
Branch  at  Spence  and  Percy  sts.,  Febm- 
ary  1 ;  Van  Nuys  Branch,  Sylvan  Way 
and  Vesper  street  in  Van  Nuys,  March  1 ; 
Owensmouth  Branch  on  Owensmouth  ave. 
and  Wyandotte  st.,  March  3 ;  Wilming- 
ton Branch  at  Fries  and  J  sts.,  Wilming- 
ton, March  18. 

Out  of  the  same  funds  an  additional  lot 
was  purchased  for  the  Angeles  Mesa 
Branch,  at  5305  Fifth  avenue,  and  a  lot  on 
Hobart  boulevard  near  Santa  Barbara  and 
Western,  for  a  new  branch  to  be  called 
Henry  David  Thoreau.  Two  sites  for 
ranches  have  been  provided  through  other 
sources,  one  an  acre  of  ground  in  Lanker- 
shim  secured  by  voting  bonds  for  a  Li- 
rary  Park,  and  the  other  a  part  of  Memo- 
rial Park,  belonging  to  Los  Angeles  High 
School,  where  the  Ralph  Waldo  Emerson 
Branch  will  be  built.

A  new  plan  of  library  lessons  for  the 
students  was  followed  this  last  semester : 
Social  Science  and  all  History  classes 
were  scheduled  for  different  periods  for 
the  week  for  instruction  in  the  library. 
The  classes  came  to  the  library  and 
received  the  regular  45  minute  lecture. 
During  the  week  one  end  of  the  library 
was  reserved  for  display.  Each  table 
represented  a  grade  and  on  the  table  were 
displayed  the  books  of  history,  travel, 
geography,  social  science  and  industries 
useful  to  these  students.  Also  we  had  a 
display  of  mounted  pictures  on  all  these 
subjects.  So  popular  were  these  display 
tables  that  since  that  we  have  kept  two 
tables  near  the  entrance  door  for  different 
displays  which  have  increased  our  circu- 
lation as  students  see  books  displayed 
that  they  would  not  have  looked  for. 

"The  whole  week,"  as  the  history 
teachers  expressed  it,  was  "a  revelation 
to  them  as  well  as  to  the  students."  We 
will  follow  this  plan  every  year. 

The  "Map  of  Adventure"  has  attracted 
a   great   deal   of   attention   and   is   being 
used  in  connection  with  history  classes.

On  the  morning  of  February  19,  the 
first  story  hour  to  be  enjoyed  by  the  boys 
and  girls  of  Pasadena  in  the  beautiful 
new  Public  Library  was  given  by  Grace

and  Carl  Moon,  authors  of  Indian  stories. 
The  Lecture  and  Exhibit  Hall  of  the 
library  accommodates  about  300  chairs 
and  it  was  not  only  filled  to  this  capacity 
but  the  floor  had  to  serve  as  a  substitute 
for  seats  when  all  the  chairs  were  filled. 

Mrs  Moon  told  how  she  met  the  real 
Chi-wee,  the  little  Indian  girl  of  whom 
her  books  by  that  name  were  written.  She 
spoke,  too,  of  her  new  book,  "Nadita," 
which  will  be  published  in  the  summer  by 
Doubleday,  Page  &  Co.  Mr  Moon  told 
Indian  stories,  giving  some  of  his  experi- 
ences among  Indian  children  on  the  reser- 
vations. He  read  from  the  manuscripts 
some  of  his  humorous  poems  written  for 
children  and  told  something  of  his  new 
book,  "The  Flaming  Arrow,"  which  will 
be  published  by  Frederick  A.  Stokes  Co. 
in  the  fall. 

It  could  readily  be  seen,  by  the  very 
close  attention  given  to  Mr  and  Mrs 
Moon,  that  the  children  were  delighted 
with  their  talk.  At  the  end  of  the  story 
hour  they  gathered  about  the  authors 
with  recluests  for  autographs  and  ex- 
pressed their  enjoyment  of  the  books  they 
have   written.

With  appropriate  ceremony,  the  first  of 
a  civic  group  of  buildings  in  Pasadena,  the 
Municipal  Librai-y,  was  thrown  open 
February  12.  Embracing  unusual  fea- 
tures, the  new  library  has  outdoor  read- 
ing rooms,  one  for  children,  the  other  for 
adults.  The  building  was  completed 
within  the  budget,  of  $580,000  and  has  a 
main  entrance  hall  thirty-three  feet  wide, 
forty-five  feet  high  and  two  hundred  four 
feet  long,  back  of  which  is  the  stack  and 
from  which  radiate  the  other  departments 
of  the  building.  It  is  a  one-story  build-

Angeles  County  Free  Library  more  appre- 
ciated than  the  Whittier  State  School 
Branch.  Most  of  our  boys  are  veritable 
book  worms.  We  have  a  new  library  room 
and  each  teacher  gives  a  45-minute  period 
of  her  free  time  on  a  certain  day  of  each 
week  to  issuing  library  books.  We  also 
have  some  very  able  assistants  among  the 
boys.  Miss  Dale  and  Mr  Bryant  of  the 
main  office  are  among  our  most  welcome 
visitors.

An  exhibit  of  wild  flowers  was  held  at 
the  library  March  28  to  April  2.  A  wild 
flower  book  was  given  to  the  boy  and  girl 
bringing  in  the  greatest  variety  of  wild 
flowers. 

During  the  Lenten  season  the  various 
churches  of  the  community  exhibited  a 
collection  of  recent  religious  books  on 
successive  Sundays,  and  gave  out  the 
miniatures  of  the  religious  book  week

books  recommended  by  the  ministerial 
union.  A  representative  from  the  library 
was  present  to  talk  about  the  books  after 
the  service. 

A  new  branch  was  established  March 
17,  at  South  Fork,  with  Mrs  Elizabeth 
Thornburg  as  custodian.  Alamo  Branch 
was  discontinued  and  Ashview  Branch,

On  February  8  the  staff  greatly  enjoyed 
Mrs  May  Dexter  Henshall's  visit  to  the 
library  and  were  especially  grateful  for 
the  inspiration  she  left  behind  her. 

Miss  Stoddard  attended  the  joint  meet- 
ing of  the  First,  Second,  and  Third  Dis- 
tricts in  San  Francisco,  Februax-y  19,  and 
has  been  busy  visiting  in  the  county  and 
talking  about  and  displaying  to  clubs  the 
book  flowers  in  the  spring  library  garden. 

We  are  enthusiastic  over  the  enthusi- 
asm displayed  in  Mariposa  County  with 
the  library  service.  Mariposa  Branch 
opened  January  17  in  the  old  Red  Cross 
room,  with  many  happy  children  in  atten- 
dance the  first  day.  Branches  have  now 
been  established  in  four  communities,  24 
schools  are  being  served,  and  mailing  serv- 
ice has  been  supplied  to  some  borrowers 
who  do  not  as  yet  have  access  to  branches. 

Miss  Frances  Stoekebrand  has  filled 
the  vacancy  in  the  Branch  Department. 
Miss  Rosalie  Barksdale  has  become  Mrs

Monterey  Co.  Free  Library,  Salinas. 
Miss  Anne  Hadden,  Lib'n. 

The  greatest  pleasures  of  the  quarter 
were  the  two  visits  of  Miss  Jessie  Gay 
■N'an  Cleve,  children's  editor  of  the  A.L.A. 
Booklist,  Chicago,  who  had  been  lecturing 
at  the  University  of  California  School  of 
Librarianship.  She  visited  the  Monterey 
Peninsula  and  drove  south  as  far  as  Sole- 
dad,  with  members  of  the  library  staff. 
One  of  the  party  on  Miss  Van  Cleve's 
visit  was  Miss  Ella  Young,  an  Irish  liter- 
ary vi'oman  and  Celtic  scholar,  whose  new 
book,  "The  Wonder  Smith  and  His  Son," 
is  just  off  the  press.  Miss  Van  Cleve  was 
also  entertained  by  Miss  Emma  Wald- 
vogel,  whose  studio  is  at  Monterey,  at  her 
little  new  house,  "So  Big"  near  Asilomar. 
A  visit  was  made  to  the  Robley  Ranch  at 
Corral  de  Tierra.  There  is  a  branch  of 
the  County  Library  there  and  the  hospi- 
tality of  the  Robley  home  is  proverbial 
amongst  the  librai-y  workers  of  this  dis- 
trict. On  Miss  Van  Cleve's  second  visit, 
she  was  guest  of  honor  and  gave  a  most 
interesting  talk  on  children's  books  at  the 
dinner  meeting  (March  7,  1927)  of  the 
Salinas  Business  and  Professional  Wom- 
en's Club. 

On  January  10,  1927,  word  was  received 
that  the  Lucia  post  office  burned  Decem- 
ber 12,  1926.  In  the  post  office  at  the 
time  were  books  on  the  way  to  the  County 
Library  from  the  Redwood  School,  and 
these  were  lost.  Lucia  is  on  the  coast 
beyond  the  roads,  and  before  the  Harlan 
home  can  be  rebuilt  a  sawmill  will  have 
to  be  erected  and  lumber  made. 

The  Milpitas  home  deposit  station  has 
been  closed.  Mrs  E.  A.  Plaskett  at  whose 
home  the  books  were,  has  moved  from  Mil- 
pitas  to  the  Bernabe  District. 

The  Pfeiffer  School  district  was  re- 
established by  the  Supervisors,  December, 
1926,  and  school  opened  Febmary  7,  1927. 

The  California  Library  Association 
district  meeting  in  San  Francisco  was 
attended  by  Anne  Hadden  and  Marjorie 
Frink.  Miss  Ruth  Porter  came  for  the 
evening  session.

Estella  DeFord,  Lib'n. 

Our  efforts  for  Children's  Book  Week 
consumed  so  much  energy  that  none  was 
left  with  which  to  report  the  results  in 
the  last  issue  of  Neivs  Notes  of  California 
Libraries.  Two  windows  were  loaned,  one 
in  St.  Helena  and  one  in  Napa,  by  mer- 
chants and  these  were  made  most  atti-ac- 
tive  with  posters  and  children's  books.  In 
October  the  County  Librarian  and  Mr 
H.  O.  Parkinson  spoke  before  the  St. 
Helena  Rotary  Club  on  the  advantages  of 
cooperation  between  libraries. 

During  the  past  quarter  visits  were 
made  to  branches  and  schools  in  Monti- 
cello,  Berryessa  and  Pope  Valleys.  A  new 
branch  was  established  at  Bennet,  a  fai"m- 
ing  district  east  of  Calistoga  with  Miss 


NAPA  CO.— Continued. 

Alta  Lincoln  in  charge.  The  Browns  Val- 
ley Branch  was  moved  to  the  Farm  Center 
hall  at  the  request  of  patrons  of  the 
libraiy.  An  additional  branch  was  opened 
n  Wooden  Valley  with  Mr  Manuel  Texeira 
as  custodian.  Additional  service  was  begun 
for  the  St.  Helena  Grammar  School.  A 
large  collection  of  children's  books  was 
taken  to  the  school  and  Thursday  is 
librai-y  day.  Miss  Hartley,  the  teacher  in 
charge,  reports  a  ciix-ulation  of  about  300 
per  month. 

Three  bulletins,  one  on  books  for  Sixth 
Grade  pupils  compiled  from  the  Win- 
netka  list,  one  on  books  of  non-fiction  and 
a  third  a  letter  from  Polynesia,  Doctor 
Dolittle's  parrot,  to  the  children  of  the 
rural  schools,  were  sent  out.  The  latter 
caused  such  a  flood  of  letters  from  the 
children  that  it  looked  as  if  Polynesia 
would  be  in  need  of  a  secretary. 

A  notice  in  the  local  newspapers  that 
the  library  could  supply  books  in  foreign 
languages  brought  in  an  unexpected  num- 
ber of  requests,  principally  for  novels  in 
German.  We  would  appreciate  hearing 
from  county  libraries  having  books  in 
foreign  languages  and  will  be  glad  to  lend 
our  recent  German  accessions.

State  LibraiT  as  set  forth  by  Miss  Gillis

next  day  Miss  Gillis  visited  two  branches 
of  the  County  Library.

The   work   of   organization,    handicapped

the   end   of   the   year  to  have   a   catalog 
worthy  of  the  name,  and  a  pamphlet  and 
picture  collection  started  at  least.    Since 
the  library  is  used  as  a  study  hall,   the

The  main  speaker  of  the  day  was  State

Placentia  the  honor  of  being  present  on 
this  occasion.  Mr  Ferguson  spoke  very 
strongly  on  what  this  beautiful  library 
meant  to  the  community  and  the  ideals 
and  needs  it  will  care  for.  He  spoke  of 
the  beauty  and  completeness  of  the  struc-

Sacramento — Continued. 

The  rapid  increase  in  circulation,  when 
on  a  number  of  days  the  mark  reached 
1300  and  1400,  wiped  out  our  current 
iiction  shelf.  Our  budget  could  not  keep 
pace  with  the  mounting  cost  of  fiction  and 
the  increase  in  circulation.  A  statement 
presented  to  the  City  Council,  favoring 
the  establishment  of  a  Duplicate  Pay 
Collection,  was  adopted  and  $300  was 
allowed  the  library  from  the  general  fund 
as  a  loan. 

On  January  15  the  Duplicate  Pay  Col- 
lection was  started  with  a  charge  of  five 
cents  a  week  and  was  an  immediate  suc- 
cess. As  long  as  the  books  circulate  they 
will  be  kept  on  the  shelves  to  pay  for 
themselves  and  add  enough  surplus  to  pay 
back  the  loan.  The  first  report  made  to 
the  City  Manager  on  the  venture  at  the 
end  of  March  was  as  follows :  302  books 
purchased  at  an  expenditure  of  $401.40; 
2410  books  circulated;   $120.50  collected. 

As  borrowers  are  allowed  to  reserve  the 
Duplicate  Pay  books,  the  plan  has  proved 
popular  and  to  date  not  one  objection  has 
been  registered  against  it  at  the  Loan 
Desk.

With  two-thirds  of  the  school  year  over 
our  statistics  show  some  interesting 
figures.  Home  loans  total  3797  and  period 
loans  25,700.  Both  figures  show  gains 
over  last  year. 

Eighteen  students  enrolled  in  the  librai-y 
class  and  with  their  help  much  of  the 
routine  work  is  carried  on.  Three  stu- 
dents come  in  each  period  and  these  issue 
and  check  off  all  the  period  loans  and  send 
overdue  notices  for  them  so  that  we  have 
lost  hardly  any  books  this  year. 

An  inventory  was  taken  at  the  begin- 
ning of  school  in  which  we  found  some  400 
odd  volumes  on  the  library  shelves  which 
had  never  been   added   to  the   collection.

Work  on  these  snags  has  occupied  much 
of  the  librarian's  time. 

Tlie  condition  of  the  old  shelflist  was 
such  that  it  seemed  simpler  to  make  a  new 
one  than  to  revise  the  old  one  and  this 
has  now  been  completed. 

Some  new  shelving  has  been  received

improved.  We  hope  to  add  to  this  equip- 
ment next  year.

During  the  February  floods  the  people 
of  the  back  country  showed  remarkable 
appreciation  of  the  books  furnished  by 
the  County  Library.  In  some  neighbor- 
hoods where  the  roads  were  impassable 
and  bridges  out,  borrowers  came  to  the 
branch  libraries  on  horseback  to  get  books 
for  themselves  and  the  families  near  them. 
As  we  have  made  our  rounds  since  the 
rains  we  have  been  greeted  everywhei^e 
with  expressions  of  gratitude  for  the  books 
that  helped  pass  the  long  rainy  days  and 
evenings  and  with  reports  of  increased 
circulation.

Accessions  during  1926  numbered  2541 
items,  of  which  about  1300  were  pamph- 
lets, 131  were  maps,  and  1118  were  com- 
plete volumes.  These  accessions  cover 
subjects  in  the  special  field  of  natural 
history  and  therefore  represent  an  impor- 
tant addition  to  the  library  resources  of 
the  state. 

Mr  Edward  P.  Van  Duzee,  Assistant 
Librarian,  in  charge  of  the  library  since 
1916,  resigned  on  account  of  other  duties, 
and  Mr  Ignatius  McGuire  was  appointed 
in  his  place.  Mr  McGuire  has  sei"ved  in 
various  capacities  in  the  Academy  library 
previous  to  his  present  appointment,  and

for  many  years  connected  with  the  two  li- 
braries in  one  capacity  and  another,  some- 
times Children's  librarian,  sometimes  the 
only  librarian,  was  married  in  June  to 
Mr  Ernest  C.  Woods.  As  they  are  making 
their  home  in  San  Francisco,  it  was  pos- 
sible for  Mrs  Woods  to  keep  on  with  her 
work  for  some  time,  and  her  assistance 
was  very  much  needed  in  the  Children's 
Library,  which  had  suffered  from  neglect 
and  low  funds.  With  the  opening  of  the 
fall  term,  Mrs  Woods  was  transferred  to 
that  librai-y,  and  was  in  charge  until 
Christmas.  With  the  opening  of  the  new 
year,  Miss  Dorothy  Ellis,  formerly  in  the 
Monterey  County  Free  Library,  came  to 
us  to  be  Children's  Librarian. 

Last  July  Miss  Harriet  Dunphy  was 
added  to  the  staff  as  a  general  assistant  in 
the  College  Library.  Miss  Dunphy  came

visiting  librarians,  including  Mr  Milton

the  libraiT  between  sessions.  Whether 
local  publicity  of  this  meeting  was  the 
cause  or  not  we  can  not  say,  but  for  some 
reason  circulation  figures  took  a  decided

brief  address  and  distributed  lists  of  mate- 
rial on  this  subject  available  at  the  Public

use  of  books  on  the  art  of  home  making. 

The  month  of  March  proved  to  be  the 
best  in  the  history  of  the  library.  Large 
increase  in  circulation  along  all  lines,  as 
well  as  unprecedented  use  of  reading

Miss  Frances  D.  Patterson,  Lib'n. 

The  Library  School  Class  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  California  visited  Palo  Alto 
March  15.  They  spent  the  morning  at  the 
Public  Library,  lunching  at  the  Stanford 
"Union,  and  the  afternoon  at  the  Stanford 
Library.  The  class  this  year  seems  to  be 
an  unusually  enthusiastic  and  interested 
group. 

We  have  had  two  rather  unique  exhibits 
among  the  many  which  have  been  shown 
in  our  Art  Room  during  the  winter.  One 
a  collection  of  beautiful  oriental  rugs  was 
supplemented  with  a  lecture  by  an  Arme- 
nian rug  dealer.  The  other  an  exhibit  of 
photography  was  the  first  to  be  shown  in 
our  exhibit  room.  Many  excellent  pieces 
of  work  were  displayed,  all  original,  done 
by  members  of  our  local  Art  Club.  In 
connection  a  lecture  was  given  by  one  of 
our  photograph  enthusiasts  illustrated  by 
motion  pictures  taken  on  a  recent  trip  to 
Europe.    This  talk  was  repeated  by  popu-

We  are  still  trying  the  experiment  of 
closed  shelves  that  we  began  in  the  fall. 
Thirty-four  student  assistants  work  with 
the  librarian.  They  are  recruited  from 
the  student  body  and  are  students  who 
can  afford  to  give  one  study  period  a  day 
from  their  regulaj.-  school  w&rk  to  help  in 
every  phase  of  the  library's  work. 

The  librarian  of  one  of  our  junior  high 
schools  was  forced,  because  of  sickness,  to 
give  up  her  position  temporarily.  We  feel 
a  great  pride  in  the  fact  that  one  of  our 
former  library  assistants  was  given  the 
opportunity  to  take  full  charge  from  her 
graduation  from  the  high  school  in  Febru- 
ary until  about  two  weeks  ago.  From 
several  sources  the  news  came  that  she 
was  very  satisfactory.  She  and  another 
former  assistant  have  about  completed 
their  apprenticeship  for  a  place  on  the 
waiting  list  of  the  City  Library.

In  its  newly-formed  division  of  rare

Santa  Clara  exhibits  a  collection  which 
includes  a  pigskin-bound  three-volume  first 
edition  of  the  famous  "Noticia  de  la  Cali-

Winterbothani's  "Historical,  Geographi- 
cal, Commercial  and  Philosophical  View 
of  the  American  United  States,"  in  four 
volumes,  printed  in  London  in  1795,  dur- 
ing the  second  term  of  President  George 
Washington  and  containing  as  a  frontis- 
piece an  etching  of  "The  Father  of  his 
Country,"  showing  him  endowed  with  fea- 
tures nobler  and  stronger  than  he  is 
pictured  in  most  of  our  modern  publica- 
tions ;  a  book  of  Latin  and  Spanish  hymns 
used  by  the  Padres  in  the  Mission  era,  the 
cover  being  of  bronze,  of  sixteenth-century 
Spanish  manufacture,  and  the  132  folio 
leaves  being  of  genuine  parchment  pre- 
,  pared  for  writing  under  the  supervision 
of  the  Padres.  The  beautifully  hand- 
written music  and  words  are  in  black  and 
red  ink,  the  indelibility  of  which  has 
been  fairly  well  demonstrated  in  the  test 
of  ages.

rubricated  capitals,  a  quarto  in  original 
oaken  boards  covered  with  stamped  leather 
(1481)  ;  and  a  huge  pedagogical  text-book 
in  Latin  by  Duns  Scotus,  published  at 
Venice,  1490,  provided  with  an  index,  and 
adorned  with  illuminated  capitals.

SOLANO   CO.— Continued. 

Several  dolls  were  loaned  to  the  Napa 
County  Free  Library  to  be  used  in  the 
wonderful  display  of  dolls  which  that  li- 
brary collected  for  the  Napa  County  Wild 
Flower  show. 

The  Librarian  and  Airs  Dorothy  Wor- 
den  attended  the  Marin  County  Federa- 
tion meeting  recently  when  the  women  of 
that  county  so  cordially  welcomed  the 
newly  appointed  County  Librarian  into 
their  midst.  Solano  County  was  asked  to 
show  its  collection  of  wild  flower  slides 
and  exhibited  the  beaiatiful  colored  photo- 
graphs loaned  it  for  a  flower  show  in 
Solano  County. 

The  Solano  County  Library  again  par- 
ticipated in  a  wild  flower  show  at  home. 
Several  tables  of  books  and  a  beautiful 
picture  display  were  part  of  its  contri- 
bution, also  the  renting  of  a  portion  of 
the  wild  flowers  as  shown  in  the  film  made 
by  Mr  Pillsbury.  This  film  was  procured 
from  the  Pathe  Exchange.  The  Japanese 
table  with  books  pertaining  to  the  sim- 
plicity and  artistic  arrangement  of  flowers 
by  our  Oriental  neighbors  caused  some 
comment  and  drew  attention  to  the  face 
that  a  few  blossoms  well  placed  were 
more  effective  than  masses  of  them  poorly 
placed.

opened  at  the  Vallejo  Public  Library  by 
Miss  Doyle,  with  the  permission  of  the

place  where  they  may  hold  meetings  and 
informal  gatherings  of  any  nature.  The 
idea  of  the  room  developed  following  the 
closing  of  the  Industrial  Y.  M.  C.  A.,

The  awakening  of  spring  has  inspired 
the  County  Librarian  to  visit  all  of  the 
branches  and  schools  of  the  county  before 
the  close  of  the  school  term  in  May.  Heavy 
snows,  deep  mud  or  washed  out  roads  have 
made  visits  somewhat  precarious  under- 
takings during  the  winter,  so  the  wild 
flowers  and  budding  trees  are  not  the  only 
incentive  to  trips  into  the  mountain  dis- 
tricts. 

El  Camino  Branch  was  changed  March 
1  from  the  home  of  Mrs  Drendel  to  that

the  home  of  Mrs  E.  A.  Drake  to  that  of 
Mrs  L.  Spiker,  with  the  same  post  office 
address.  In  February  the  Librarian  visited 
the  County  Librarian  of  Glenn  County  at 
which  time  a  plan  was  agreed  upon  for 
combining  the  Capay  branches  of  thi'  twu 
counties.  At  present  the  two  branches 
are  but  two  miles  apart,  so  for  economy's 
sake  it  seems  better  to  serve  the  people 
from  one  point.  Tehama  County  Libriu'y 
will  contribute  certain  material  in  ex- 
change for  service  from  Glenn  County. 
The  Savercool  Deposit  Station  is  active 
once  more. 

On  March  1  the  Librarian  met  with 
the  Corning  Farm  Center  to  give  a  talk 
on  the  service  to  residents  of  the  county 
immediately  outside  of  incorporated  towns. 

On  March  21  a  talk  was  given  at  the 
Proberta  Farm  Center  on  the  "County 
Library  Service"  in  general,  for  the  people 
of  this  commmunity  are  new  not  only  to 
the  county  but  to  the  state.  The  meeting 
was  a  lively  one,  the  questions  and  dis- 
cussion threatening  to  continue  well  into 
the  night,  but  the  smell  of  coffee  dampened 
the  agricultural  and  litex'ary  ardor  eaidy 
enough  to  enable  the  Farm  Adviser  and 
the  Librarian  to  get  away  a  little  before 
midnight.  Considerable  merriment  was 
enjoyed  at  the  expense  of  the  Farm  Ad- 
viser who  is  notoriously  absent  minded. 
When  he  appeared  early  in  the  evening 
%yithout  "the  speaker  of  the  evening"  (the 
Librarian)  he  was  dispatched  in  haste 
to  rectify  his  mistake.  In  the  meantime 
the  Librarian,  having  previously  experi- 
enced his  forgetfulness,  cranked  her  own 
car  and  traveled  alone  to  the  meeting, 
passing  the  anxious  Adviser  on  the  way. 
Upon  his  •  return  little  opportunity  was 
given  him  to  forget  his  "forgetfulness." 

The  goodwill  and  friendly  spirit  mani- 
fest in  the  Farm  Center  meeting  is  one 
that  might  well  be  emulated  by  other 
organizations.  A  Farm  Center  meeting 
or  Home  Department  meeting  in  Tehama 
County  is  always  one  of  wholesome  enjoy- 
ment from  beginning  to  end.

Since  the  County  Library  car  must  be

a  mileage  of  eight  cents  when  it  is  neces- 
sary to  use  her  own  car  on  library

approval  of  the  County  Librarian's  pro- 
posed attendance  at  the  California  Li- 
brary Association  convention  in  Gearhart, 
Oregon,  June  13  to  15,  with  the  under- 
standing that  her  traveling  expense 
should  be  paid  provided  such  expense 
could,  in  the  opinion  of  the  District  At- 
torney of  the  county,  properly  be  borne 
by  the  county.  The  District  Attorney 
expressed  his  opinion  that  such  expense 
might  be  paid  out  of  the  County  Library 
fund.

a  delightful  afternoon  February  22,  in  the 
foothill  home  of  Monica  Shannon,  author

Miss  Hyde  has  been  working  odd  mo- 
ments during  the  year  on  our  serial  files. 
We  thought  the  routine  of  her  work  might 
be  of  interest  to  others.  Published  in 
News  Notes  of  California  Libraries,  the 
article  might  bring  us  some  assistance  in 
filling  in  our  files.

YOLO  CO. — Continued.

Frequently  we  see  references  to  the 
problem  of  duplicate  experiment  station 
material.  What  is  to  be  done  with  publi- 
cations that  are  not  needed  and  yet  are 
too  valuable  to  destroy?  This  library  has 
spent  a  lot  of  time  in  arranging  and  weed- 
ing out  such  material  and  what  we  have 
done  may  be  of  interest  to  other  libraries. 

For  many  years  our  library  was  main- 
tained under  the  open  shelf  system.  Peri- 
odicals, U.  S.  Department  of  Agriculture 
and  experiment  station  publications  were 
left  unbound.  Consequently,  when  the 
need  of  the  closed  shelf  system  was  realized 
and  there  was  money  available  for  binding 
this  material,  the  files  were  found  almost 
hopelessly  incomplete.  Many  of  the  earlier 
volumes  of  the  experiment  station  and  U. 
S.  Department  of  Agriculture  bulletins 
were  bound  incomplete.  Later,  a  notice 
was  sent  to  each  member  of  the  faculty 
asking  that  any  experiment  station  publi- 
cations not  wanted  be  sent  to  the  library 
instead  of  thrown  into  the  waste  basket. 
In  this  way  a  mass  of  material  Avas 
accumulated,  some  of  which  proved  most 
valuable  in  completing  our  files.  Much  of 
it,  of  course,  was  duplicate  material  which 
had  to  be  stored  until  it  was  decided  just 
what  was  to  be  done  with  it. 

In  January  of  this  year  approximately 
12,000  duplicate  publications  were  returned 
to  the  state  experiment  stations  from 
which  they  were  published.  Before  this 
was  done  the  file  was  carefully  checked  for 
numbers  missing  from  the  main  file  and 
for  numbers  to  make  as  complete  a  dupli- 
cate file  as  possible.  A  letter  was  then 
written  to  the  Director  of  each  station  in 
an  effort  to  obtain  the  still  missing  num- 
bers. Of  2137  publications  requested  only 
731  were  received.  This  was  probably  due 
to  the  fact  that  our  requests  were  largely 
for  the  early  out  of  print  u'.mbers.  At 
the  same  time  that  these  were  requested,

we  offered  to  send  in  exchange,  any  dupli- 
cates we  might  have  for  completing  their 
file  of  experiment  station  or  of  U.  S.  De- 
partment of  Agriculture  material.  We 
also  stated  that  we  had  a  number  of  dupli- 
cates of  their  own  publications  and  asked 
if  they  would  care  to  have  them  returned. 
Of  the  49  stations  addressed  27  replied, 
only  4  asked  for  exchanges  and  only  18 
expressed  a  desire  to  have  the  duplicate 
material  returned  to  them.  AH  duplicates 
were  returned,  however.  (1)  Because  we 
discovered  that  experiment  station  and  U. 
S.  Department  of  Agriculture  material 
could  be  forwarded  under  our  own  station 
frank.  The  law  is  quoted  in  U.  S.  Depart- 
ment of  Agriculture  Circular  251,  page  24, 
paragraph  4.  (2)  Because  we  were 
greatly  in  need  of  the  space  they  were 
occupying  and  felt  that  they  wei'e  too 
valuable  to  destroy.  (3)  Because  we  feel 
that  if  all  duplicate  material  were  returned 
to  the  station  from  which  it  was  pub- 
lished, libraries  having  incomplete  files 
would  be  greatly  aided  in  completing  them.

lecturer  in  the  School  of  Librarianship, 
University  of  California,  spoke  on  the 
plan  and  methods  used  in  the  compila- 
tion of  the  recent  edition  of  the  A.  L.  A. 
catalog,  of  which  she  was  editor.  She 
was  followed  by  Miss  Jessie  G.  Van 
Cleve,  specialist  in  children's  literature 
at  the  headquarters  of  the  American 
Library  Association.  Miss  Vaia  Cleve 
spoke  of  the  organization  and  personnel 
of  the  staff  at  headquarters.  The  asso- 
ciation was  fortunate  in  having  these  two 
speakers  who  are  identified  with  the 
national   association. 

The  evening  session  was  addressed  by 
Dr.  Benjamin  Lehman  of  the  University 
of  California  on  the  subject  of  Instruction 
through  books.  Dr.  Lehman  gave  a 
stimulatiug  talk,  suggesting  a  program  for 
the  encouragement  of  good  reading.

Third  District  Meeting. 

The  Third  District  of  the  California 
Library  Association  met  with  the  First 
and  Second  Districts  at  the  Fairmont 
Hotel,  San  Francisco,  February  19,  1927. 
This  is  the  first  time  that  this  district 
has  officially  convened  with  the  Bay 
Districts, 


A  fine  representation  from  the  Third 
District  attended,  as  well  as  a  number 
of  visitors.  Among  them  were  Mrs 
Julia  G.  Babcock  of  Kern  County  Free 
Library,  Miss  Bessie  B.  Silverthorn  of 
Stanislaus  County  Free  Library,  Miss 
Olive  Ryder  of  the  Public  Library,  Ames, 
Iowa.  Miss  Muriel  Wright,  newly 
appointed  librarian  of  Marin  County  Free 
Library,  was  welcomed  into  the  District. 

The  members  of  the  Third  District 
wish  to  thank  the  First  and  Second  Dis- 
tricts for  inviting  them  to  join  in  the 
meetings  this  year. 

Leta  Hutchinson,  Secretary. 

Fifth   District   Meeting. 

The  annual  meeting  of  the  Fifth  Dis- 
trict of  the  California  Librai"y  Associa- 
tion was  held  Saturday,  March  12,  1927, 
at  the  Woman's  Club  House  in  Lodi. 

The  morning  session  was  called  to  order 
at  eleven  o'clock  by  Miss  Bertha  S. 
Taylor,  President  of  the  Fifth  District. 
W.  H.  Thompson,  President  of  the  Board 
of  Trustees  of  the  Lodi  Public  Library, 
was  introduced  and  gave  a  brief  address 
of  welcome. 

Dr.  Tully  C.  Knoles,  President  of  the 
College  of  the  Pacific,  was  the  speaker  of 
the  morning,  taking  as  his  subject, 
"Whither  Russia."  He  stated  that  Russia 
is  a  country  of  contradictions  and 
illustrated  his  i)oint  by  many  startling 
and  interesting  situations  of  which  he 
learned  first  hand  during  his  recent  tour 
of  Russia.  There  are  thirteen  times  as 
many  peasants  as  industrial  workers  in 
lussia,  and  although  these  peasants  do  not 
own  the  land,  they  bear  the  burden  of 
taxation  by  paying  high  prices  for  the 
products  of  the  industrial  workers.  Prices 
of  exports  and  imports  are  fixed  by  the 
government,  and  eighty-nine  per  cent  of 
the  industries  of  the  country  are  carried 
on  by  the  government.  In  this  way  the 
government  is  able  to  fix  the  value  of 
money  and  keep  it  at  par.  Russia  is  in 
a  period  of  political  transition  and  it  is 
difficult  to  determine  what  the  outcome 
may  be.  There  are  one  hundred  thirty 
million  sons  of  peasants  being  taught  to 
read  and  being  given  military  training 
and,  according  to  Dr  Knoles,  the  future 
of  Russia  is  largely  in  their  hands.

NEWS  NOTES  OP   CALIFORNIA  LIBRARIES.  [April,  1927 


One  o'clock  luncheon  was  served  at 
the  Hotel  Lodi.  During  the  meal,  music 
was  furnished  by  an  orchestra  under  the 
leadership  of  Mrs  Helen  A.  Botts  of  the 
Lodi  Public  Library  Staff. 

The  afternoon  meeting  opened  with  a 
brief  business  session  at  which  Miss  Ber- 
tha S.  Taylor,  Librarian  of  Amador 
County  Free  Library,  was  unanimously 
elected  to  represent  the  Fifth  District 
on  the  nominating  committee  of  the  Cali- 
fornia Library  Association.  Miss  Amy  L. 
Boynton,  Librarian  of  Lodi  Public 
Library,  was  elected  alternate. 

Milton  J.  Ferguson,  State  Librarian 
and  President  of  the  California  Library 
Association,  called  attention  to  the  joint 
meeting  of  the  California  Library  Associa- 
tion and  the  Pacific  Northwest  Library 
Association  to  be  held  at  Gearhart,  Ore- 
gon, in  June.  He  said  that  the  inspi- 
rational rather  than  the  mechanical  side 
of  library  work  would  be  stressed  at  this 
meeting.  The  plan  of  the  two  organiza- 
tions is  to  meet  in  the  Northwest  this 
year  and  at  some  time  in  the  near  future 
hold  another  joint  meeting  somewhere  in 
California.  Mr  Ferguson  expressed  a 
belief  that  we  are  entering  a  golden  era 
of  library  work.  Public  appreciation  is 
shown  as  never  before  by  beautiful  new 
buildings  now  being  erected. 

Mi--3  Helen  A.  Botts,  Assistant  Libra- 
rian of  the  Lodi  Public  Library,  sang  a 
group  of  songs,  "The  Flower  Song," 
"Trees,"  and  "The  Swallows." 

The  remainder  of  the  afternoon  was 
devoted  to  the  topic,  "The  Mother  Lode," 
under  the  leadership  of  Miss  Eudora 
Garoutte,  head  of  the  California  Depart- 
ment of  the  State  Library.  Miss  Garoutte 
sketched  the  early  history  of  mining 
along  the  Mother  Lode,  showing  the  devel- 
opment from  the  first  crude  form  of  min- 
ing, each  miner  panning  by  himself, 
through  the  cradle  and  rocker  stage,  to 
sluice  and  flume  mining.  She  showed 
how  these  changes  had  a  direct  bearing 
on  the  social  development  of  the  miner's 
life  from  a  lonely  existence,  with  occa- 
sional sprees  at  the  neai'est  settlement,  to 
the  formation  of  permanent  camps  with 
some  semblance  of  law  and  order.  She 
told  of  the  wonderful  friendships  which 
grew  up  between  "pardners"  of  those 
early  days.  At  her  request  Miss  Cor- 
nelia  D.    Provines   read   the   poem,    "My 


New  Tear's  Guest,"  by  Rollin  M.  Dag- 
get,  which  carried  the  audience  back  to 
the  atmosphere  of  the  mining  camp. 

Miss  Garoutte  completed  her  story  by 
telling  how  more  than  fifty  thousand 
miners  swarmed  over  the  Sierras,  px'os- 
pecting  here  and  there,  resisting  all  hard- 
ships, until  it  was  finally  proved  that  the 
whole  western  slope  of  the  Sierra  Nevada 
Mountains  was  gold  bearing.  The  quartz 
vein  later  named  the  Mother  Lode  was 
discovered  in  1850.  This  quartz  is  to  be 
found  in  an  auriferous  slate  belt  extend- 
ing from  Mariposa  to  the  northern  bound- 
ary of  Plumas  County.  The  Mother 
Lode  is  about  one  hundred  miles  long 
and  is  not  only  rich  in  relics  of  the  past, 
but  has  many  natural  wonders  such  as 
caves,  natural  bridges  and  big  tree  groves. 
In  conclusion  Miss  Garoutte  told  in  a 
very  charming  manner  Bret  Harte's 
story,  "How  Santa  Claus  Came  to  Simp- 
son's Bar." 

Mrs  J.  L.  Sargent  of  Jackson,  who  is 
writing  a  history  of  Amador  County,  gave 
an  interesting  talk  on  place  names  of 
Amador  and  Calaveras  Counties.  She 
told  how  the  town  of  Freezeout  was 
renamed  lone  by  a  Bulwer-Lytton  enthu- 
siast who  was  reading,  "The  Last  Days 
of  Pompeii."  Calaveras,  according  to 
Mrs  Sargent,  means  place  of  skulls, 
Amador  means  lover  of  gold,  Lancha 
Plana — flat  boat  and  Buena  Vista — 
beautiful  view.  Pokerville  was  so  named 
on  account  of  numerous  poker  games 
played  there,  and  Fiddletown  derived  its 
name  from  the  many  fiddlers  from  Mis- 
souri who  settled  there.  The  dogs  of 
Dogtown  gave  it  a  name.  Sutter  Creek 
was  named  for  Sutter ;  Volcano  for  an 
extinct  volcano  in  that  vicinity ;  Butte 
City  for  a  mountain  and  Murphys  after 
a  member  of  the  Donner  party.  Dry- 
town  was  so  named  because  pay  dirt  had 
to  be  carried  so  far  by  pack  mule  before 
there  was  water  enough  to  wash  it. 

Hillard  E.  Welch,  Grand  President  of 
the  Native  Sons  of  the  Golden  West, 
told  of  the  inspiration  of  that  organi- 
zation in  July,  1875,  and  of  its  efforts 
to  preserve  the  old  traditions  and  early 
history  of  California.  He  tstressed  the 
great  need  of  an  authentic  California 
history  covering  the  early  mining  activi- 
ties.    He  suggested  as  representatives  of 


vol.  22,  no.  2]  califorinia  library  association.

California    in    Statuary    Hall,    Junipero 
SeiTa  and  Bret  Harte. 

Mrs  Henry  Warrington  of  Sutter  Creek 
told  in  an  entertaining  way  the  histories 
of  some  of  the  large  quartz  mines  from 
which  millions  of  dollars  worth  of  gold 
has  been  taken.  She  sketched  the  history 
of  the  Lincoln  Mine,  telling  how  Leland 
Stanford  reluctantly  invested  in  the  ven- 
ture which  eventually  made  him  a  million- 
aire. The  interesting  story  of  the  Central 
Eureka,  or  Hetty  Green  Mine,  was  also 
told  and  an  amusing  incident  of  how 
Madame  Pantaloon  saved  her  claim  from 
claim  jumpers  with  pistols  and  black 
pepper. 

At  the  close  of  the  session  maps  of  the 
Bret  Harte  Country  showing  the  old 
place  names  and  maps  of  the  Mother  Lode 
Highway  were  distributed.  These  were 
furnished  by  the  Stockton  Chamber  of 
Commerce  and  the  Jackson  Chamber  of 
Commerce  respectively. 

An  interesting  display  of  relics  of  the 
early  days  of  California  was  arranged  in 
the  foyer  of  the  clubhouse  and  attracted 
much   attention. 

Amy  L.  Boynton,  Secretary. 

Sixth  District   Meeting. 

The  Sixth  District  of  the  California 
Library  Association  held  its  annual  meet- 
ing in  the  auditorium  of  Chaffey  Union 
High  School  and  Junior  College,  Ontario, 
March  5,  1927.  Over  500  people  were  in 
the  morning  audience. 

The  meeting  was  called  to  order  by  the 
President,  "Willis  H.  Kerr,  Librarian  of 
Pomona  College,  Claremont.  Miss  Vinal 
Palmer,  of  the  Chaffey  Union  High 
School  faculty  played  an  organ  solo.  This 
was  followed  by  two  songs  by  a  student 
of  the  school. 

The  President  appointed  the  following 
Committee  on  resolutions :  Mrs  Mabel 
Faulkner,  Mrs  Minnie  Maxwell  Windle, 
Mrs  Margaret  Scott.  Miss  Jacobus  spoke 
in  behalf  of  membership  in  the  C.  L.  A., 
and  Miss  Althea  Warren  presented  mem- 
bership in  the  A.  L.  A.  as  probably  the 
one  and  only  opportunity  of  helping  to 
spend   four   and  one-half   million   dollars. 

Mr  Kerr  introduced  Milton  J.  Fergu- 
son, State  Librarian  and  President  of  the 
C.  L.  A.,  who  expressed  his  appreciation 
of  being  able  to  attend  this  meeting  and 
of   hearing   William    Allen   White   speak. 


Mr  Ferguson  urged  the  members  to  save 
their  money  to  go  to  the  annual  meeting 
of  the  Association  to  be  held  with  the 
Pacific  Northwest  Library  Association  at 
Gearhart,  Oregon,  in  June. 

Mrs  F.  H.  Manker,  Librarian  Upland 
Public  Library,  introduced  Mrs  W.  H. 
Kerr  who  talked  delightfully  on  "The 
spirit  of  the  fiftieth  anniversary  con- 
ference of  the  A.  L.  A." 

Mr  Kerr  introduced  William  Allen 
White  by  telling  the  story  of  the  time 
when  Mr  White  asked  for  an  invitation 
for  dinner  through  his  Emporia  paper, 
and  how  he  was  fortunate  enough  to  get 
to  the  telephone  first  and  so  had  the 
pleasure  of  having  Mr  White  as  his  guest 
for  dinner. 

Mr  White  in  his  talk  "The  librarian, 
a  community  engineer"  spoke  of  the 
librarian's  duty  to  be  a  directive  force  in 
his  community.  {See  "Libraries,"  April, 
1927,  p.  183-4,  for  a  report  of  Mr  White's 
address. ) 

The  Resolutions  Committee  presented 
the  ■  following  which  were  unanimously 
adopted : 

We,  the  members  of  the  Sixth  District 
of  the  California  Library  Association 
assembled  in  convention  in  the  city  of 
Ontario,  appreciating  the  fine  hospitality 
and  enthusiastic  welcome  prepared  for  us 
by  the  people  of  Ontario  do  hereby 
resolve : 

That  an  expression  of  our  gratitude  be 
extended  to  the  faculty  of  Chaffey  Union 
High  School  and  Junior  College  for  the 
use  and  accommodation  of  their  spacious 
auditorium  ; 

That  we  extend  our  thanks  to  the  mem- 
bers of  the  San  Antonio  Library  Club 
for  their  gracious  hospitality  and  to  Miss 
Lillian  Graves  of  the  Home  Economics 
Department  for  the  delicious  and  bounti- 
ful luncheon ; 

That  we  express  our  appreciation  to 
the  President  of  the  Sixth  District  and 
his  officers  who  were  resiwnsible  for  the 
unusual  and  splendid  program,  to  the 
State  Librarian  for  his  loyal  cooperation 
and  interest,  and  to  those  other  mem- 
bers and  guests  who  are  contributing  to 
the  day's  enjoyment  and  satisfaction. 
Especially  do  we  wish  to  mention  our 
illustrious  guest,  William  Allen  White, 
of  Emporia,  Kansas ;  Leslie  Hood  of 
Pasadena  who  is  responsible  for  giving 
us  the  opportunity  to  hear  our  visiting 
authors  ;  Earle  B.  Blakeslee,  for  arrang- 
ing the  music ;  and  J.  S.  Armstrong  of 
the  Ontario  Library  B'Oard  for  beautiful 
flowers. 

The  luncheon,  served  to  342  guests,  was 
a  most  delightful  affair.     Mr  Kerr,   act- 


148 


NEWS   NOTES   OF   CALIFORNIA  LIBRARIES.  [April,  1927 


ing  as  toast-master,  called  upon  Leslie 
Hood,  of  Yroman's  Book  Store  in  Pasa- 
dena, to  introduce  bis  galaxy  of  authors. 
In  a  very  witty  speech,  Earl  Derr  Big- 
gers,  best  known  as  author  of  "Seven 
Keys  to  Baldpate,"  in  defense  of  mystery 
and  detective  stories  referred  to  Shakes- 
peare and  other  classic  writers  who  used 
murder  and  sudden  death  in  their  writ- 
ings. Mrs  Grace  Purdie  Moon,  author  of 
"Chi  Wee"  and  other  stories  for  children, 
spoke  in  a  charming  manner  of  her  belief 
in  giving  the  children  of  today  a  better 
understanding  and  sympathy  with  the 
Indians  and  of  the  influence  of  books 
upon  children.  Carl  Moon  reminded  his 
readers  that  such  writers  as  Stevenson 
and  Kipling  had  made  their  reputations 
on  their  books  for  juveniles.  He  recom- 
mended to  librarians  that  they  urge  par- 
ents to  read  aloud  to  their  children  as  the 
most  effective  method  of  weeding  out  and 
eliminating  the  unsuitable  and  medioci'e 
in  children's  books,  as  well  as  giving 
children  the  correct  pronunciation  of 
words. 

The  four  round-table  discussions 
groups  that  gathered  in  the  various  rooms 
and  buildings  of  Chaff ey  Union  High 
School  were  well  attended  and  created 
much  interest.  The  College  and  Refer- 
ence Section  under  the  leadership  of  Miss 
Charlotte  Brown,  Librarian  of  University 


of  Southern  California,  devoted  its  time 
to  the  subject  of  how,  where  and  when 
to  get  reference  material.  The  slogan, 
"Catch  your  history  on  the  hoof"  pre- 
sented by  Miss  Laura  C.  Cooley  of  the 
California  Historical  Department  of  the 
Los  Angeles  Public  Library,  and  "One 
jump  ahead  of  the  public"  as  presented 
by  Miss  Irma  Walker,  Reference  Libra- 
rian of  the  Long  Beach  Public  Library, 
will  be  remembered  gratefully  by  refer- 
ence librarians. 

Miss  Minnie  A.  Lewis,  Head  of  the 
Catalog  Department  of  the  Riverside 
Public  Library,  conducted  the  section 
on  Catalog  problems  where  methods  of 
simplifying   cataloging   were   discussed. 

Miss  Fay  Tunison,  Head  of  the  Circula- 
tion Department  of  the  Long  Beach  Pub- 
lic Library,  was  the  leader  in  the  section 
on  Circulation  Department  problems.  The 
best  methods  of  bringing  the  best  reading 
material  to  the  attention  of  the  public 
were  discussed  and  many  helpful  sugges- 
tions given. 

Under  the  leadership  of  Miss  Eva 
Leslie,  Head  of  the  Department  of  Chil- 
dren's Work  of  the  Los  Angeles  Public 
Library,  school  and  children's  librarians 
discussed  the  selection  of  children's  books 
arid  also  the  problems  of  school  libraries.

CONVENTION. 

The  next  County  Librarians  Conven-

Northwest  Library  Association — Gear- 
hart,   Oregon,   June  13-15,   1927. 

The  special  county  librai"y  program 
will  be  given  Monday  night,  June  13, 
when  the  California  County  Librarians 
will  conduct  the  general  session  of  the 
joint  meeting.  The  program  will  be  as 
follows : 

The  California  County  Library  system 
as  exemplified  in : 

1.  A  big  county  library 

Mrs  Julia  G.  Babcock,  Kern  County 

2.  A  middle  sized  county   library Miss

A  MANUAL  FOR  CUSTODIANS. 

The  Tulare  County  Free  Library  has 
issued  an  interesting  document — a  manual 
for  its  branch  custodians.  It  gives  careful 
and  definite  instructions  to  meet  all  situ- 
ations.    While   the   procedure   would   not 


be  the  same  in  all  counties,  this  manual 
would  be  valuable  to  anyone  wishing  to 
compile  a  set  of  rules  or  suggestions  to 
her  own  custodians.  The  copy  on  file  at 
the  State  Library  will  be  lent  on  appli- 
cation. 

LIBRARY   REVIEW. 

Library  Review,  a  popular  magazine 
on  libraries  and  literature,  has  just 
appeared  in  England.  It  is  edited  by 
Robert  D.  Macleod  whose  book.  County 
rural  libraries,  issued  in  1923,  gives  such 
a  clear  view  of  county  library  work  in 
Great  Britain. 

In  his  editorial  notes  Mr  Macleod  says, 
"It  (Library  Review)  will  view  library 
work  as  social  educational  work  of  the 
highest  importance  and  will  endeavour 
to  express  its  spirit  and  aims  to  all  inter- 
ested in  books  and  their  message.  Its 
concern  will  be  with  county  libraries, 
which  have  some  ten  thousand  centres, 
and  with  libraries  working  in  coopera- 
tion with  them.     The  field  is  a  wide  one." 

The  first  number  contains  the  following 
special  articles,  besides  book  lists  and 
brief  notes  of  recent  happenings :  The  , 
boy  in  the  library,  by  George  Blake; 
Blazing  trails,  by  Milton  J.  Ferguson ; 
A  national  book  pool,  by  Luxmoore 
Newcombe ;  Interest  at  a  local  centre,  by 
a  country  teacher ;  The  county  library 
circle,  by  Alfred  Ogilvie. 

I  believe  that  this  periodical,  covering 
as  it  does  county  library  work  in  many 
ways  similar  to  our  own,  will  be  of  inter- 
est and  value  to  all  California  county 
libraries  and  many  municipal  libraries  as 
well. 

Library  Review  will  be  issued  quarterly 
and  the  annual  subscription  is  4s  post 
free  at  home  or  abroad.  The  address  is 
47  Pitcairn  street,  Brucefield,  Dunferm- 
line, Scotland.

LIBRARY  CLUBS,  ETC. 


Under  this  heading  will  be  given 
accounts  of  meetings  of  the  various 
library  clubs  and  similar  organizations 
throughout  the  state.  News  items  of 
the  various  clubs  are   solicited. 

CALIFORNIA    SCHOOL    LIBRARY 
ASSOCIATION, 

NORTHERN   SECTION. 

The  Northern  Section  of  the  Cali- 
fornia School  Library  Association  met 
with  the  Library  Section  of  the  Cali- 
fornia Teachers'  Association,  Bay  Sec- 
tion, December  14,  1926,  in  the  attrac- 
tive new  library  of  the  San  Francisco 
High  School  of  Commerce,  Miss  Eliza- 
beth Patton  presiding. 

The  first  part  of  the  business  meeting 
was  devoted  to  finishing  the  details  of 
the  previous  year's  work.  The  amend- 
ments to  the  constitution  as  suggested  by 
the  Southern  Section  were  discussed  and 
a  committee  was  appointed  to  consider  the 
advisability  of  adopting  these  amend- 
ments. The  following  officers  were  elected 
for  the  ensuing  year :  Miss  Elizabeth 
Patton,  Garfield  Junior  High  School, 
Berkeley,  President,  and  Miss  Margaret 
Girdner,  tligh  School  of  Commerce,  San 
Francisco,    Secretary-Treasurer. 

Following  the  business  meeting,  Mrs 
Elizabeth  Madison,  Director  of  School 
Libraries,  Oakland,  whose  leadership 
has  long  been  the  inspiration  for  the 
work  of  the  Northern  Section,  gave  an 
interesting  history  of  the  Association  and 
outlined  possible  avenues  of  usefulness  for 
the  future. 

Professor  Willard  Smith  of  Mills  Col- 
lege, the  speaker  of  the  morning,  deliv- 
ered a  valuable  and  stimulating  address 
on  the  "Old  and  the  New  in  Recent 
Fiction." 

The  group  met  at  the  Hotel  Whitcomb 
for  luncheon.  The  afternoon  session 
was  devoted  to  a  round  table  discussion 
of  "Problems  the  School  Librarians  must 
Solve,"  ably  led  by  Miss  Girdner.  The 
aims  as  presented  by  Miss  Gii"dner  were 
adopted  by  vote  of  the  membership  for 
the  program  of  the  coming  year.  The  fol- 
lowing committees  were  appointed :  Com- 


mittee on  Standards  of  library  instruction. 
Professional  Study  committee,  commit- 
tee on  the  Junior  College,  and  a  com- 
mittee "to  study  the  aims  and  objectives 
of  the  school  library  in  terms  of  the  new 
pedagogy."  These  committees  are  to 
report  on  the  progress  of  their  work  at 
the  next  meeting. 

The  meeting  adjourned  after  an  enthu- 
siastic discussion  of  many  problems  with 
a  vote  to  hold  a  meeting  in  the  spring.

session. 

Miss  Elizabeth  Calnon,  chairman  of  the

SPECIAL  LIBRARIES  ASSOCIATION 
OF   SOUTHERN    CALIFORNIA. 

The  program  for  the  meeting  of  Decem- 
ber 10  consisted  of  a  visit  to  the  Hunting- 
ton Library,  by  the  invitation  of  the 
Librarian,  Mr  Leslie  Edgar  Bliss.  Our 
a'ssociation  turned  out  in  full  force  to 
get  a  glimpse  of  some  of  the  treasures  of 
this  far-famed  and  most  exclusive  librai^y. 
Between  30  and  3.5  of  us  reached  the 
Huntington  estate  promptly  at  8  o'clock, 
the  appointed  hour,  some  of  us  after  a 
little  involuntary  meandering  through  the 
grounds  of  other  private  residences  in 
the  neighborhood.  After  being  kindly 
received  by  Mr  Bliss  and  some  of  his 
staff,  we  were  escorted  through  some  of 
the  book  stacks,  where  we  peered  long- 
ingly through  glass  doors  at  the  backs 
or  cases  of  serried  rows  of  treasures. 
Then,  returning  to  the  main  hall  or  read- 
ing-room, we  spent  a  fascinating  and 
delightful  hour  examining  the  incunabula 
displayed  in  glass  cases — the  Gutenberg 
Bible,  Caxton's  earliest  printed  book  and 
many  others  equally  interesting,  besides 
manuscripts  and  illuminations.  There 
were  also  wonderful  old  globes  and  maps, 
historical  American  portraits  and  framed 
newspapers  and  broadsides  of  interesting 
Americans.  The  view  from  the  ten-ace 
and  the  vista  of  the  snoAV  mountains 
through  the  broad  avenue  of  trees  as  we 
left  the  building  are  also  features  of  the 
visit  long  to  be  remembered. 

After  a  short  ride  in  the  dusk  through 
various  parts  of  Pasadena,  25  of  us  met 
for  dinner  at  the  Rose  Tree  Tea  House, 
where  we  enjoyed  a  delicious  meal  in  most 
attractive  surroundings.  When  ice  cream 
and  coffee  were  finally  disposed  of,  our 
President  called  us  to  order  and  a  short 
business  meeting  was  held. 

The  advisability  of  paying  dues  to  the 
national  organization,  instead  of  to  our 
local  association,  and  having  them  take 
care  of  our  expenses  was  discussed.  It 
was  thought  this  might  be  done,  provided 
they  guaranteed  us  one  dollar  per  mem- 
ber, thus  equalling  our  present  assets, 
but   no    definite   conclusion    was    reached. 


Miss  Carrick  gave  an  interesting  sketch 
of  the  work  done  by  the  bindery  depart- 
ment of  the  Los  Angeles  Public  Library 
and  gave  us  a  cordial  invitation  to  visit 
it  at  any  time.  A  letter  was  read  from 
Mr  Worthington  of  the  Special  Library 
Association  of  San  Francisco  asking 
many  questions  in  regard  to  the  Union 
List  of  Periodicals,  in  order  to  get  useful 
information  to  help  in  the  proposed  Union 
List  of  San  Francisco  and  vicinity.  Mr 
Marion  proposed  that  we  plan  for  a 
future  meeting  with  some  of  the  local 
statistical   organizations. 

On  Friday,  January  14,  fifteen  mem- 
bers of  the  Special  Libraries  Association 
of  Southern  California  met  at  the 
Chateau  Cafe  at  six  o'clock  for  dinner, 
afterwards  proceeding,  by  Miss  Frey's 
invitation,  to  the  offices  of  the  Western 
Precipitation  Co.  for  their  regular  meet- 
ing, where  an  exceptionally  interesting 
evening  was  passed. 

The  visit  began  with  a  tour  of  inspec- 
tion through  the  offices,  workshops  and 
laboratories  which  surround  a  charming 
little  Japanese  garden,  with  pools,  shrub- 
bery and  palms — a  most  delightful  spot. 
The  ateliers,  with  all  their  complicated 
apparatus,  looked  very  mysterious  to  the 
eyes  of  the  ignorant  and  uninitiated,  but 
gave  the  first  inkling  of  the  importance 
and  magnitude  of  the  unusual  work  done 
by   this   interesting   corporation. 

Next  came  our  usual  business  meeting 
with  about  20  members  present.  The 
topic  for  discussion  was  membership  in 
the  national  Special  Libraries  Association. 
It  was  moved  that  we  unite  with  the 
national  body  and  a  vote  was  taken 
approving  this  consolidation,  "with  reser- 
vations." 

A  letter  from  Miss  Vormelker,  Secre- 
tary of  the  Special  Libraries  Association, 
asked  that  a  member  of  our  organization 
be  appointed  to  their  membership  commit- 
tee and  it  was  moved  that  our  president 
make  this   appointment. 

These  matters  being  settled,  Mrs 
Thompson,  Chairman  of  the  Committee 
on  Methods,  introduced  the  subject  of 
translations  and  translators  in  the  local 
field.  It  was  brought  out  that  lists  of 
translators  with  their  specialties  in  lan- 
guages and  'Subjects  were  available  in 
various  departments  of  the  Los  Angeles 
Public   Library   and   in    the   Chamber   of

NEWS  NOTES  OF   CALIFORNIA  LIBEAEIES.  [April,  1927 


Commerce  Research  Department.  It  was 
suggested  that  it  would  be  a  useful  piece 
of  work  to  combine  these  various  lists  and 
Mr  Marion  and  Miss  Hollingsworth  are 
to  take  action  in  the  matter  and  see  that 
the  revised  lists  are  made  available  in  both 
places. 

Mr  Vandegrift  was  instructed  to  send  a 
telegram  with  Miss  Greene's  signature 
to  Senator  Johnson,  regarding  distribu- 
tion of  public  documents  to  libraries. 

Miss  Frey  then  introduced  Mr  Schmidt 
of  the  Western  Precipitation  Co.,  who 
gave  us  a  delightfully  informal  talk  on 
the  work  they  are  doing,  explaining  the 
Cottrell  Process  and  showing  us  photo- 
gx-aphs  of  the  different  apparatus  and 
installations  and  exhibiting  jars  and  tubes 
containing  the  precipitations  obtained 
from  smoke  and  dust — all  sorts  of  ele- 
ments in  vinbelievable  quantities — ^lead, 
copper,  acids,  tons  of  which  were  lost 
in  the  smoke  from  mills  and  smelters, 
causing  great  economic  loss  and  doing 
great  injury  to  the  surrounding  country, 
before  the  perfecting  of  this  wonderful 
process. 

Mr  Vandegrift  then  gave  us  an  inter- 
esting account  of  his  recent  visit  to  Phila- 
delphia and  New  York  and  the  special 
libraries  there,  dwelling  particularly  on 
the  methods  employed  by  the  National 
Industrial  Conference  Board  in  New 
York.

SAN   ANTONIO   LITERARY   CLUB. 

Upland  Public  Library  was  chosen  as 
the  meeting  place  of  San  Antonio  Library 
Club  in  January,  with  Willis  H.  Kerr, 
Librarian  of  Pomona  College  Library, 
Claremont,  in  the  chair.  Dr  F.  H. 
Pritchard,   of   Colton,   who  owns   a   most 


wonderful  private  library,  gave  a  most 
instructive  talk  on  old  books.  He 
brought  with  him  many  valuable  volumes 
which  the  club  members  were  allowed  to 
handle.  Dr  Pritchard  is  in  reality  a 
linguist,  having  taken  up  the  study  of 
languages  in  his  young  manhood  while 
waiting  for  patients.  He  said  there  were 
no  picture  shows  in  the  early  days,  no 
automobiles,  or  places  of  amusement,  in 
which  to  kill  time  as  there  are  now,  and 
so  in  self  defense  he  took  up  the  study 
of  languages. 

Prior  to  Dr  Pritchard's  talk,  each 
librarian  was  given  an  opportunity  to  tell 
of  any  important  happening,  or  thing,  at 
her  library.  Splendid  sets  of  books,  or 
valuable  single  volumes,  were  told  of ; 
the  effort  of  Chaffey,  Ontario  and  Upland 
Libraries,  to  work  out  a  plan  of  coopera- 
tion, which  was  to  have  a  copy  of  the 
shelf  cards  in  each  other's  libraries ;  a 
new  building  for  Claremont  Branch  of 
Los  Angeles  County  Free  Library ;  con- 
viction of  a  boy  for  stealing  books  in 
Pomona ;  Athey  shades  at  all  windows, 
covering  the  floor  with  linoleum,  metal 
book  truck,  and  adjustable  metal  type- 
writer stand,  at  the  Upland  Public; 
Misses  Thelma  and  Elma  Clarke  told  of 
their  first  years'  experience  with  the 
Pomona  Junior  High  School  Library ; 
Wolcott's  second  volume  of  flowers,  recent- 
ly added  to  Pomona  College  Library  and 
a  map  of  California  as  an  island. 

The  coming  Sixth  District  meeting  of 
the  California  Library  Association  at 
Chaffey  Library,  Ontario,  was  the  subject 
of  discussion,  as  San  Antonio  Library 
Club  will  act  as  host  at  that  meeting, 
the  date  having  been  set  for  March  5, 
at  10  o'clock.

LAW    AND    LEGISLATIVE    REFER- 
ENCE  DEPARTMENT. 

Herbert  V.  Clayton,  in  charge. 

The  Law  and  Legislative  Reference 
Department  is  fully  equipped  with  the 
latest  reports,  digests,  encyclopedias  and 
textbooks,  the  statutes  of  other  states, 
the  United  States.  Great  Britain.  Can- 
ada, Australia  and  certain  other  foreign 
countries,  and  briefs  of  counsel  in  cases 
decided  in  the  California  Supreme  and 
Appellate  courts.  State  officers  are  en- 
titled to  borrow  books,  and  private  indi- 
viduals are  accorded  the  same  privilege 
upon  presentation  of  a  request  signed  by 
a  Supreme,  Appellate  or  Superior  Judge, 
or  other  state  officer.  Books  may  be  kept 
three  weeks,  and  will  be  once  renewed 
for  two  weeks.  All  books  are  subject  to 
recall,  if  required  by  a  state  officer,  or  if. 
in  the  opinion  of  the  Librarian,  a  recall 
is  fair  and  expedient. 

In  addition  to  special  service  to  mem- 
bers of  the  Legislature,  information  on 
the  laws  of  California  and  other  states 
and  countries  is  given  on  inquiry  from

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  on  request  of  its  presi- 
ident,  secretary  or  librarian.  In  counties 
having  county  free  libraries,  all  requests 
must  be  made  through  the  county  free 
library. 

Since  the  close  of  the  legislative  ses- 
sion has  made  magazines  again  available 
for  circulation  there  are  a  few  suggestions 
to  be  made  in  regard  to  requests/tt  should 
be  an  unfailing  practice  when  asking  for 
a  magazine  to  give  the  complete  reference 
— author  and  title  of  the  article,  and 
volume  number,  date  and  paging  of  the 
magazine. 

There  are  several  reasons  for  this  rul- 
ing.     Unfortunately    one    reason   is    that 


very  frequently  there  is  a  mistake  in  some 
part  of  the  reference.  With  the  complete 
information  given,  the  exact  reference  can 
be  located  through  the  periodical  guides. 
Another  reason  is  that  the  desired  article 
may  have  been  included  in  our  camera- 
graph  collection.  Sometimes  in  case  of  a 
■series  of  articles,  the  exact  matter  has 
been  published  in  book  form.  If  the  arti- 
cle is  very  short,  a  typed  copy  may  be 
sent  instead  of  the  volume. 

It  is  needless  to  say  that  it  is  unde- 
sirable to  send  out  a  bound  volume  if  the 
need  can  be  filled  another  way.  The 
volume  might  be  needed  here  for  a  number 
of  items  ;  transportation  is  hard  on  heavy 
volumes,  and  it  is  difficult  to  replace  old 
magazines  in  case  of  loss.  It  is  urged, 
therefore,  that  in  addition  to  giving  the 
full  and  exact  reference,  you  allow  us, 
whenever  possible,  to  substitute  other 
material.  -^

EuDORA  Garoutte,  in  charge. 

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  10,000  bound  volumes 
of  newspapers',  a  file  of  which  is  being 
indexed  with  reference  to  the  history  of 
the  State.  Students  will  be  assisted  in

"ON  TO  OREGON." 


By  Edith  GantTj  Librarian,  Plumas  County  Free  Library,  Quincy,  California. 


The  First  Joint  Meeting  of  the  Cali- 
fornia Library  Association  (32d  annual 
conference),  the  California  County  Libra- 
rians' (ISth  annual  conference)  and  the 
Pacific  Northwest  Library  Association 
(18th  annual  conference)  was  held  at 
Gearhart-by-the-Sea,  Oregon,  June  13  to 
15,  1927. 

With  Mr  Ferguson  and  Miss  Mulheron, 
graciously  presiding  and  the  two  secre- 
tary-treasurers. Miss  Gibson  and  Miss 
Johns  recording,  the  meeting  got  under 
way  promptly  at  2  p.m.  on  Monday.  The 
reports  of  committees  of  both  Associations 
were  read  and  necessary  business  trans- 
acted. Mr  Ferguson  read  telegrams  from 
Mayor  Rolph,  the  Tourist  Bureaus  and 
the  Chamber  of  Commerce  of  San  Fran- 
cisco inviting  the  C.  L.  A.  to  hold 
their  next  annual  conference  in  that 
city.  To  maintain  a  perfect  balance, 
Mr  Woods  promptly  issued  an  invita- 
tion in  behalf  of  Riverside.  Miss 
Overbury,  the  County  Librarian  of  York- 
shire County,  England,  our  visitor  from 
farthest  away,  was  introduced  to  the  meet- 
ing by  Miss  Mulheron.  Miss  Overbury, 
in  visiting  California  County  Libraries 
had  visited  Miss  Stoddard's  joint  counties, 
Merced  and  Mariposa.  She  was  still 
marveling  over  the  distances  traveled  for 
she  had  hesitated  about  going  to  a  distant 
Yorkshire  Branch  Library,  all  of  eight 
miles  away. 

At  this  first  session  Miss  Barker,  in  the 
name  of  the  Astoria  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce, invited  the  whole  assemblage  on  a 
trip  around  historic  Astoria.  Then  Miss 
Mulheron  invited  the  C.  L.  A.  to  view  the 
Rose  Festival  Parade  from  the  Multnomah 
County  Library  lawn,  followed  by  a  tour 
of  the  library  and  tea  in  the  Staff  Room 
and  to  attend  Rosaria,  the  beautiful  Port- 
land Pageant  of  the  Rose,  as  the  guests 
of  the  P.  N.  L.  A.  The  charming  hospi- 
tality of  Miss  Mulheron  and  her  P.  N. 
L.  A.  throughout  the  whole  meeting  was  a 
constant  joy  to  their  C.  L.  A.  guests  and 
assured  the  great  success  of  the  meeting 
from  the  start.  Those  who  were  fortunate 
enough  to  be  able  to  stay  over  in  Portland 
for  the  Rose  Festival  Parade  and  Rosaria, 
Thursday  evening,  felt  that  the  exquisite 
beauty  and  colorfulness  of  it  all  was  the 
perfect  climax  for  the  very  enjoyable 
First  Joint  Meeting. 

Then  at  three  o'clock  began  the  thrice 
welcoming  of  the  C.  L.  A.  by  the  P.  N. 
L.  A.  under  Miss  Mulheron's  guidance. 
Miss  Marvin  felicitously  surveyed  the 
growth  of  the  Northwest  and  California, 

53132 


the  P.  N.  L.  A.  and  the  libraries.  Her 
welcome  was  captivating  and  was  cer- 
tainly most  sincere  to  survive  the  rigor- 
ous censorship  to  which  she  touchingly 
referred. 

Mr  Jennings,  the  second  of  the  wel- 
coming triumvirate,  spoke  of  the  advan- 
tages of  the  western  libraries  where  the 
collections  might  lack  the  old  mss  but 
they  also  lacked  the  old  timber  on  the 
shelves.  He  spoke  of  the  contributions 
of  the  western  libraries  to  the  library 
world.  The  county  libraries  of  California 
are  now  recognized  in  literature,  by  the 
A.  L.  A.,  the  Carnegie  Corporation  and 
the  British  Library  Association  through 
its  invitation  to  Mr  Ferguson,  to  address 
their  convention  this  Fall.  The  P.  N. 
L.  A.  has  contributed  the  idea  of  the 
Subscription  Book  Committee,  which  the 
A.  L.  A.  is  now  taking  over  and  also  the 
Committee  for  Work  with  the  Blind 
which  was  a  forerunner  of  the  idea  of 
regional  libraries  now  advocated  by  the 
Library  of  Congress. 

Mr  Ridington,  to  be  sure  that  no  one 
felt  uncertain  at  this  point,  extended  the 
welcome  north  to  the  Dominion  of  Can- 
ada, which  by  the  way  is  celebrating  its 
60th  anniversary  of  confederation  this 
year.  Mr  Ridington  spoke  of  the  need  , 
and  desire  for  mutual  helpfulness  and 
rejoiced  in  the  accomplished  fact  of  our 
First  Joint  Meeting. 

Mr  Ferguson  responded  to  all  this  wel- 
coming very  appreciatively  and  the  meet- 
ing then  adjourned  to  have  tea  in  the 
hotel  lobby. 

Monday  evening  the  California  County 
Librarians  held  sway  with  Mr  Ferguson 
presiding.  A  telegram  from  Miss  Culver 
and  Miss  Harris  brought  greetings  from 
Louisiana  where  they  are  still  carrying 
on  in  spite  of  the  flood.  Miss  Waters 
also  wired  her  greetings  and  regret  that 
she  could  not  attend  the  meeting. 

Mrs  Babcock  with  the  third  largest 
county  spoke  for  the  large  county  library. 
Her  County  of  Kern  with  the  area  of 
Massachusetts,  with  its  mountains  and 
deserts  and  fertile  fields,  its  mines  and 
orchards,  cities,  towns  and  country,  offers 
every  variety  of  library  problem.  Mrs 
Babcock  surveyed  her  whole  field  of  work 
interestingly  and  with  marvelous  clarity. 
Her  building  program  certainly  thrilled 
envious  listeners.  Eight  librai-y  buildings 
outside  of  Bakersfield !  Mrs  Babcock 
mentioned  that  the  A.  L.  A.  Survey  gave 
two  California  County  Libraries  credit  for 
doing  reference  work  by  mail.     That  is

[July,  1927 


taken  for  granted  in  every  county  library. 
The  problem  of  keeping  m  touch  with  the 
Custodians  is  solved  in  various  ways, 
meetings,  visits  to  branches,  and  in  Con- 
tra Costa  County,  Mrs  Whitbeck  pub- 
lishes her  "Library  Link."  From  the 
staff,  the  budget  and  P.  T.  A.  lists,  Mrs 
Babcock  proceeded  to  the  need  and  now  a 
possibility  of  having  a  new  Headquarters 
Building  for  Kern  County  Free  Library. 
We  will  indeed  rejoice  with  her  when  it 
is   an  accomplished   fact. 

Miss  Minette  Stoddard,  of  Merced  and 
the  newly  annexed  Yosemite,  spoke  for 
the  middle  sized  county  library.  Her 
harrowing  tale  of  a  trip  into  Mariposa 
County,  going  up  hill  with  just  her 
emergency  brake  to  rely  upon,  emerging 
into  the  midst  of  a  band  of  sheep,  running 
over  a  rattler  and  having  a  puncture  all 
at  the  same  time,  commanded  breathless 
attention.  It  was  very  interesting  to  hear 
about  Mariposa  County  contracting  for 
library  service.  The  Parent  Teachers' 
Association  demanded  library  service  for 
their  childi'en  so  strongly  that  the  Super- 
visors turned  over  their  road  implement 
fund  to  the  library.  Her  schools  were 
the  first  consideration  and  then  the  com- 
munity branches. 

Miss  Lenala  Martin,  of  Lassen  Countj% 
spoke  for  the  small  county  library.  There 
are  eleven  in  the  state,  out  of  a  total  of 
seventeen,  which  have  to  cope  with  heavy 
snow  and  cold.  A  branch  that  is  S5  miles 
away  by  stage  and  train  will  be  125  or 
more  in  the  winter.  The  small  county 
has  long  distances  to  be  covered  but  the 
scarcity  of  people  makes  it  possible  for 
the  Librarian  to  know  them  well.  The 
Librarian  knows  hardship)  but  also  com- 
pensations. In  many  communities  the 
library  furnishes  the  only  diversion. 
Groups  are  organized  for  art  classes  in 
one  county  and  as  friends  of  reading  for 
book  talks  in  another. 

Miss  Eleanor  Hitt,  of  San  Diego 
County,  came  right  up  the  state  binding 
the  parts  together.  She  surveyed  the 
types  of  County  Libraries  from  sea-level 
to  the  Sierra  Mts  and  down  again  to 
Death  Valley,  below  sea-level,  counties 
without  a  railroad  like  Trinity  to  those 
with  a  network  of  roads  like  Los  Angeles 
Countj'.  Regardless  of  these  differences 
the  counties  are  all  bound  together  by  the 
County  Free  Library  Law.  While  Ihe 
Supervisors  of  a  county  appoint  the 
Librarian,  she  must  be  au  accredited 
County  Librarian.  The  State  Library 
calls  the  meeting  of  the  County  Libra- 
rians and  the  law  makes  it  obligatory  to 
attend.  In  fact  the  State  Library 
begins    where    the    law    leaves    off.      The 


County  Library  Organizer  from  the  State 
Library,  who  helps  establish  the  county 
library  makes  the  connection  with  the 
State  Library  in  the  minds  of  the  people, 
at  the  very  start.  Then  through  the 
books  and  pictures  borrowed  for  them, 
from  the  State  Library,  they  never  lose 
it.  She  spoke  of  the  spirit  of  the  County 
Librarians'  Meetings  as  that  of  adventure, 
friendliness  and  enthusiasm.  Indeed  Mr 
Gillis,  the  kindly  guide,  philosopher  and 
friend  of  the  first  county  libraries  and 
librarians,  held  the  first  meetings  at  a 
separate  time  and  place  to  protect  others 
from  this  enthusiasm.  Altogether  the 
California  idea  was  most  adequately  pre- 
sented to  our  friends  to  the  north.  Mr 
Ferguson  added  that  this  was  not  given 
as  a  pattern,  but  simply  to  show  how  the 
California  System  worked. 

Tuesday  morning  there  was  a  five- 
ringed  circus  of  round  tables,  each  with  a 
splendid  program  and  judging  by  the  one 
attended  and  another  looked  in  upon, 
they  were  full  of  pithy  discussion  and 
comment.  In  "Circulation"  the  meeting 
became  almost  hilarious  when  Miss  Sue 
Smith  undertook  to  reply  to  Professor 
Collins  and  explain  just  why  she  for  one 
did  not  encourage  greater  cordiality  be- 
hind the  desk.  In  her  library  with  some- 
thing like  ten  weddings  among  the  staff 
and  having  to  call  in  the  police  to  fend 
off  too  attentive  borrowers,  the  strain  was 
great  enough  as  it  was  on  the  Head 
Librarian. 

That  afternoon  Mr  Ferguson,  before 
opening  the  discussion,  read  a  telegram 
from  Leslie  I.  Hood  and  one  from  Mr 
Henry,  the  beloved  first  president  of  the 
P.  N.  L.  A.,  now  slowly  recuperating  from 
a  long  illness.  There  was  real  regret 
that  Mr  Henry  could  not  be  at  this  first 
joint  meeting,  which  he  would  have  en- 
joj-ed  so  much. 

Miss  Lewis'  paper  on  modern  tendencies 
in  humor  was  read  by  Miss  Porter. 
Humor  might  well  be  put  on  the  curricu- 
lum for  library  schools  for  librarians  need 
an  inexhaustible  store  of  it.  Mr  Dooley 
on  diplomacy  and  prayers  for  victory 
sounded  like  something  that  must  be  ac- 
quired  at  once. 

"To  outline"  by  Miss  Althea  Warren  be- 
came the  tale  of  a  fad  that  has  swept  the 
country  like  a  prairie  fire.  Wells'  immortal 
Outline  held  firet  place  as  a  non-fiction 
best  seller  for  23  months  and  is  still 
among  the  six  best  sellers.  Intelligence 
tests  and  the  war  are  blamed  for  this 
sudden  demand  for  all  knowledge  in  brief. 
Miss  Warren  did  not  miss  a  single  di- 
vision in  the  Dewey  Decimal ;  in  fact,  she 
had  from  one  to  several  outlines  on  every 


vol.  22,  no.  3] 


ON   TO   OREGON.

subject.  Her  paper  in  the  Proceedings 
will  be  valuable  for  reference  in  case  you 
have  accidentally  missed  any.  Did  Miss 
Warren  say  that  ,the  outlines  had  started 
the  adult  education  movement?  At  any 
rate  the  new  tendency  is  shown  plainly 
in  the  new  A.  L.  A.  Catalog,  in  the  in- 
creased entries  under  informational 
reading. 

Mrs  Virginia  Bacon  of  Portland,  dealt 
with  modern  fiction.  There  is  a  question 
in  her  mind  whether  the  tendency  is  so 
modern  when  you  compare  Hamlet  with 
Sous  and  Lovers,  for  example.  The 
mother  who  did  not  want  a  novel  for  her 
young  daughter,  but  rather  a  story  with 
no  physiology  in  it  was  reasonable  enough, 
even  though  she  meant  psychology.  Many 
modern  novels  must  be  written  by  special- 
ists, those  men  who  know  more  and  more 
about  less  and  less,  as  Mrs  Bacon  defined 
them. 

In  biography,  Miss  Blanche  Galloway 
of  Madera,  very  happily  noted  the  changes 
from  Plutarch,  who  wrote  of  man  in  his 
relation  to  his  environment,  to  Bradford, 
who  with  his  psychography,  has  the  living 
man  walk  through  the  pages.  Boswell's 
Johnson  still  remains,  however,  the  most 
perfect  picture  of  one  man.  One  tendency 
today  is  toward  the  seamy  side  with 
characters  like  Anthony  Comstock  and 
John  L.  Sullivan  for  subject  matter. 

An  unexpected  treat  for  which  thanks 
are  due  Mr  Friedman  of  Macmillan  Com- 
pany was  a  talk  by  Mr  Lewis  Browne, 
author  of  This  Believing  World  and 
Stranger  than  Fiction.  Mr  Browne  is  a 
most  delightful  speaker  and  a  marvelous 
story  teller  as  we  discovered  when  he 
appeared  as  part  of'  the  Jinks,  in  the 
evening.  He  felt  it  necessary  to  provide 
an  alibi  or  rather  several  for  having  writ- 
ten a  best-seller.  As  he  said,  Leonardo 
da  Vinci  knew  everything  of  his  time, 
but  that  is  impossible  for  any  human 
being  today  and  so  people  crave  a  glimpse 
of  everything.  His  comments  on  the 
rhythm,  drama  and  movement  of  prose 
writings  were  most  interesting,  with 
Porgy  as  an  excellent  example. 

Jinks  night  is  always  splendid  fun. 
Mrs  Watch  and  Mrs  Ward  were  certainly 
the  ideal  book  committee  for  Boston. 
Very  little  escaped  them  but  a  little  mil- 
linery like  green  hats,  certainly  not  in- 
siduous  Bolshevist  propaganda  like  Little 
Red  Riding  Hood.  Their  costumes  were 
so  charmingly  appropriate  too.  An  ani- 
mated cartoon,  or  was  it  an  illustrated 
monologue,  was  delightful  and  the  chil- 
dren's story  hour,  made  up  of  those 
lovely  appreciative  children,  who  make 
one  feel  that  drowning  is  really  too  good 


for  them.  It  was  an  all  star  cast,  as 
were  the  people  in  "Six  books  in  search 
of  a  Library."  The  audience  called  for 
Author  and  Mrs  Virginia  Bacon  must 
needs  make  her  bow.  It  was  a  matter  for 
regret  that  Boston's  Uplift  group  could 
not  be  there.  Mr  Lewis  Browne  enter- 
tained with  stories  that  one  longed  to 
remember  just  so,  long  enough  to  try  them 
out,  regardless  of  the  loss  they  would 
inevitably  suifer.     He  is  a  rare  raconteur. 

While  the  rest  of  the  people  went  up- 
stairs to  the  dining-room,  now  converted 
into  a  dance  hall,  with  a  good  orchestra, 
who  had  played  for  many  dinner  parties 
earlier  in  the  evening,  the  County  Li- 
brarians gathered  in  one  of  the  small 
assembly  rooms  entirely  devoid  of  furni- 
ture, for  a  little  meeting.  This  was  brief 
and  held  standing,  both  necessarily.  The 
business  which  never  takes  long,  com- 
pleted, Mr  Bea  gracefully  complimented 
the  group.  Mr  Ferguson  paid  a  beautiful 
tribute  to  Miss  Julia  Steffa,  who  has 
passed  away  since  our  last  meeting. 

Throughout  the  meeting  there  were 
pleasant  luncheons  and  dinner  parties, 
and  the  Library  Schools  had  their  usual 
get-together  parties,  all  of  which  add  so 
much  to  the  pleasure  of  everyone.  The 
management  were  so  solicitous  for  the 
comfort  and  pleasure  of  the  guests  that  it 
added  much  to  the  general  cheer.  The 
view  from  the  dining-room  windows  out 
over  the  water  would  have  helped  any 
jaded    appetite   if   there   had   been   such. 

Jinks  night,  always  noisy  and  jolly  had 
balloon  contests  between  the  dances  which 
added  a  good  deal  to  the  hilarity. 

Wednesday,  the  last  day  of  the  meeting 
began  with  a  symposium  on  The  Libra- 
rian and  laer  Reading,  conducted  by  Mrs 
Linn,  our  charming  in-coming  president. 
Mr  Peri'y  read  a  clever  paper  called  The 
Lost  Librarian,  by  Miss  Katherine  Ken- 
dig,  which  opened  the  discussion  and  there 
were  many  intriguing  book  reviews.  Mr 
Graves  spoke  of  his  exijeriment  in  the 
recreational  reading  of  the  students  of 
Humboldt  State  Teachers'  College  and 
read  two  letters  from  child  poets,  Helen 
Douglas  Adams,  author  of  Elfin  Pedler 
and  other  poems  and  Nathalie  Crane  of 
Red-headed  Janitor  boy  fame.  The  charm- 
ing girlish  letter  of  the  English  child  and 
the  rather  sophisticated  letter  of  the 
American  city  child  gave  excellent  pictures 
of  contra.sting  environments.  Mrs  AVhit- 
beck  spoke  of  a  delightful  hobby,  that  of 
extra  illustrating  books,  adding  water 
color  to  such  books  as  the  woodblock 
edition  of  The  Shropshire  Lad.  This  was 
followed  by  a  talk  on  broadcasting  book 
chats  over  the  radio,  by  Mr  Richard  G.

NEWS  NOTES  OF   CALIFORNIA  LIBRARIES. 


[July,  1927 


Montgomery  of  the  J.  K.  Gill  Company 
of  Portland.  Mr  Montgomery  said  that 
the  book  stores  benefited  and  the  public 
libraries  as  well,  but  he  thought  that  it 
was  a  good  advertising  medium. 

That  afternoon  there  was  a  short  busi- 
ness session  with  the  installing  of  the  new 
officers,  Mrs  Frances  B.  Linn,  of  Santa 
Barbara,  President  of  the  C.  L.  A. ,  Miss 
Minette  Stoddard,  of  Merced  and  Mari- 
posa counties,  Vice  President,  and  Miss 
Hazel  Gibson,  Secretary  and  Treasurer, 
amid  smiles  and  speeches.  The  P.  N. 
L.  A.  officers  are  Miss  Sprague,  of  Salt 
Lake,  President,  Miss  Rockwood,  Vice 
President,  and  Miss  Johns  of  Longview, 
Secretary-treasurer.  Miss  Sprague  was 
unfortunately  absent  from  the  meeting 
and  so  could  not  be  personally  installed. 
P.  N.  L.  A.  was  invited  to  hold  its  next 
meeting  at  Spokane.  The  reports  of 
committees  completed  the  session  and 
everyone  was  off  to  visit  Astoria  as  guests 
of  the  Astoria  Chamber  of  Commerce. 
We  were  told  of  the  frightfully  disastrous 
fire  of  a  very  few  years  ago  when  the 
whole  city  was  nearly  wiped  out.  It 
has  been  splendidly  rebuilt  and  in  such 
a  way  that  it  is  hoped  another  such  dis- 
aster will  be  impossible.  The  country  is 
very  beautiful  and  the  view  from  the  hill 
of  the  monument  is  indeed  wonderful. 
This  monument,  erected  by  Vincent  Astor 
to  the  memory  of  John  Jacob  Astor  and 
the  Oregon  pioneers,  is  a  pictorial  his- 
tory from  the  time  of  Lewis  and  Clark 
up   toward   modern   time.      Courage   and 


hospitality  seem  to  be  well  established 
traditions  of  Astoria  that  are  ably  car- 
ried on  by  the  present  generation. 

After  more  pleasant  dinner  parties  in 
the  Gearhart  dining  room  with  even  a 
marvelous  sunset  over  the  water  for  full 
measure,  everyone  gathered  in  the  lobby 
to  enjoy  the  reading  of  The  Chinese 
Nightingale  and  other  poems  by  Vachel 
Lindsay.  Typewritten  copies  of  The 
Blacksmith's  Serenade  were  given  out  so 
that  everyone  could  chant  the  choruses 
with  Mr  Lindsay.  Mr  Ferguson  and  the 
front  row,  generally  became  quite  profes- 
sional with  "Do  you  hear  me,  Polly  Ann, 
Polly  Ann?"  and  other  choruses. 

This  was  the  last  night  of  the  conven- 
tion and  people  lingered  long  in  the  lobby 
for  that  last  minute's  talk,  hating  to  say 
the  inevitable  Goodby  for  another  year. 
The  next  morning  was  one  of  hurried 
early  starts  back  to  Portland.  In  the 
afternoon  a  fragment  of  the  convention 
met  at  the  Library  to  enjoy  the  Rose 
Festival  Parade  from  chairs  on  the 
Library  side  lawn,  then  a  tour  of  Miss 
Mulheron's  splendid  library  ending  with 
tea  with  our  delightful  Portland  hostesses 
in  their  staff-room.  That  night  the  C. 
L.  A.  was  reduced  to  scattered  twos  and 
threes  who  regretted  the  fact  that  the 
others  were  missing  that  beautiful  pag- 
eant so  ably  staged  in  that  great  stadium 
with  the  dark  sky  sprinkled  with  stars, 
showing  above  the  stage  drops.  So  the 
First  Joint  Meeting  came  to  an  end. 


vol.  22,  no.  3]       1927  legislation  affecting  libraries. 


209 


1927  LEGISLATION  AFFECTING  LIBRARIES. 


state    Library. 

A.  B.  500,  chap.  142,  the  state  budget 
bill,  carries  an  appropriation  of  $302,350 
for  the  biennium  beginning  July  1,  1927. 
$5,000  of  this  is  to  be  used  for  two 
statues  to  be  placed  in  the  Hall  of  Fame 
in  Washington — a  new  commission  (S. 
B.  652,  chap.  681)  composed  of  the  State 
Librarian  and  four  other  members  having 
been  authorized  by  the  Legislature  to 
take  charge  of  this  matter.  (The  persons 
whose  statues  are  to  be  placed  in  the 
Hall  of  Fame  are  designated  in  S.  C.  R. 
17,  resolution  chap.  62.) 

A.  B.  1079.  chap.  788,  appropriates 
any  unencumbered  balance  remaining  in 
the  State  Library  fund  on  June  30,  1927, 
"for  use  in  the  payment  of  expenses  in 
connection  with  the  removal  of  the  State 
Library  to  new  quarters,  and  for  the 
repairs  or  remodeling  of  the  new  or  old 
library  quarters."  The  provision  for  a 
separate   state   library   fund   is   repealed. 

A.  B.  1207,  chap.  579,  makes  the  State 
Librai-y  a  division  of  libraries  in  the 
state  department  of  education.  The  state 
librarian  becomes  an  appointee  of  the 
governor. 

Among  the  measures  adopted  at  the 
general  election  held  Nov.  2,  1926,  the 
one  of  special  interest  to  librarians  was 
Proposition  No.  10  (adding  section  4  to 
article  16  of  the  Constitution)  which 
provided  for  the  issuance  of  $8,500,000 
of  state  bonds,  of  which  $1,250,000  wUl 
be  used  to  complete  the  state  library  and 
courts  building  and  the  new  state  oflBce 
building. 

County   Libraries. 

A.  B.  1092,  chap.  592,  provides  that 
"Whenever  any  of  the  territory  being 
served  by  a  county  free  library  shall  be 
annexed  to,  or  otherwise  included  within 
any  municipal  corporation  not  served  by 
such  county  free  library,  the  board  of 
supervisors  of  such  county  shall  order  the 
county  free  library  to  continue  to  serve 
such  territory  so  annexed  to,  or  otherwise 
included  within  said  municipality,  until 
the  end  of  the  fiscal  year  or  years  for 
which  a  tax  has  been  levied  upon  the 
property  of  such  annexed  territory  for  the 
support  of  said  county  free  library." 

A.  B.  419,  chap.  890,  raises  the  salai-y 
of  the  County  Librarian  of  Contra  Costa 
County  from  $2400  to  $2700.  (Amend 
ment  to  sec.  9  of  the  county  library  law.) 

A.  B.  1075,  chap.  872,  the  Contra  Costa 
County  Government  act,  carries  the  same 
provision  as  the  act  above. 


A.  B.  585,  chap.  892,  raises  the  salary 
of  the  County  Librarian  of  Inyo  County 
from  $1500  to  $1800. 

A.  B.  716,  chap.  780,  raises  the  salary 
of  the  County  Librarian  of  Kern  County 
from  $2400  to  $3000. 

A.  B.  287,  chap.  1-59,  raises  the  salary 
of  the  County  Librarian  of  Orange 
County  from  $1800  to  $2100. 

A.  B.  253,  chap.  .549,  raises  the  salai-y 
of  the  County  Librarian  of  Plumas 
County  from  $1800  to  $2100. 

A.  B.  316,  chap.  .550,  provides  for  the 
payment  of  custodians  in'  San  Mateo 
County. 

County   Law   Libraries. 

A.  B.  1033,  chap.  54,  provides  for  the 
establishment  and  maintenance  of  branch 
county  law  libraries. 

A.  B.  &44,  chap.  231,  provides  for  the 
filing  of  the  annual  reports  of  county  law 
library  boards  in  July  instead  of  in 
December. 

School    Libraries. 

A.  B.  468,  chap.  420,  removes  the 
maximum  limit  of  eighty  cents  for  school 
library  funds  in  cities.  (There  has  been 
no  minimum.)  The  further  provision  is 
made  that  in  each  city  and  county  com- 
prising a  single  district  (San  Francisco)' 
the  amount  shall  not  be  less  than  forty 
cents  for  each  pupil  of  average  daily 
attendance  nor  more  than  one  dollar. 

A.  B.  921,  chap.  728,  amends  the  para- 
graph concerning  high  school  librarians

S.  B.  884,  chap.  722,  relates  to  the 
formation  of  corporations  to  establish 
libraries  and  to  receive  and  administer 
bequests,  gifts  and  donations  for  same. 

Other  acts  of  interest  to  libraries,  some 
indirectly  affecting  them,  are  the  fol- 
lowing : 

A.  B.  163,  chap.  ISO,  amending  the 
law  regarding  absence  of  county  officers 
from  the  state  to  read  :

of  the  governor  of  the  state,  and  in  no 
case  shall  such  absence  continue  for  a 
period  exceeding  six  months  in  any  one 
year." 

S.  B.  298,  chap.  435,  provides  that  each 
county  official  shall  file  with  the  county 
auditor  on  or  before  the  twentieth  of  July 
in  each  year,  a  detailed  and  itemized  esti- 
mate showing  all  probable  revenues  from 
sources  other  than  taxation  that  will 
accrue  to  his  department  during  the  en- 
suing fiscal  year  and  all  expenditures 
required  for  the  same  period.  This  act 
takes  effect  Jan.  1,  1928. 

A.  B.  1230,  chap.  581,  empowers  the 
state  board  of  education  to  investigate 
the  entire  subject  of  supplementary  books 
"which  are  now  available  for  use  in  the 
public  schools  through  the  county  library 
system  and  other  sources  which  are  a 
direct  expense  on  the  county  govern- 
ments." The  findings  are  to  be  reported 
to  the  state  board  of  control  on  or  before 
July  1,  1928. 

A.  B.  819,  chap.  219,  provides  for  the 
cooperative  purchase  of  standard  school 
supplies  and  equipment.  The  county 
board  of  education  "shall  list  as  standard 
school  supplies  and  equipment  such  sup- 
plies and  equipment  as  can  be  advan- 
tageously purchased  in  quantity."

school  text  books. 

A.  B.  1120,  chap.  453,  and  S.  C.  R. 
26,  resolution  chap.  61,  deal  with  changes 
in  the  office  of  ithe  superintendent  of 
public  instruction  and  the  state  board  of 
education.  These  are  of  special  interest, 
since  the  State  Library  is  now  a  division 
of  the  department  of  education. 

A.  B.  38,  chap.  431,  provides  for  a 
commission  on  pensions  of  state  em-

fornia historical  survey  commission  is 
vested  in  the  State  of  California  to  be 
administered  through  the  state  board  of 
education.  Ten  thousand  dollars  are

Miss  Mary  Barmby,  Lib'n. 

The  Alameda  County  Library  arranged 
two  exhibits  for  the  National  Congress  of 
Parents  and  Teachers  held  in  Oakland 
May  21  to  28.  One  of  these  exhibits  was 
placed  in  the  general  exhibit  room  of 
the  convention  and  children's  work  and 
rural  work  were  stressed  especially  in  it. 
The  other  one  was  arranged  in  the  down- 
stairs corridor  of  the  convention  hall. 
California  library  work  was  emphasized 
in  this  exhibit.  Librarians  and  book 
people  of  the  district  Avere  most  generous 
with  their  time  and  material  in  helping 
to  make  the  exhibits  of  interest  to  the 
delegates. 

The  Alameda  County  Board  of  Edu- 
cation has  adopted  the  Beacon,  Elson 
and  Pathway  to  Reading  as  the  method 
readers  for  the  county  schools.  A  teacher 
may  select  any  one  of  these  systems. 
Mary  Barmby,  Lib'n. 

A  $20,000  concrete  building  will  re- 
place the  old  library  structure  in  Niles 
and  will  be  a  gift  to  the  community  by 
W.  H.  Ford  of  that  town.  The  present 
old  wooden  building  has  served  the  pub- 
lic for  the  past  twenty-five  years.  Work 
on  the  new  building,  which  is  to  be  75

The  new  South  Berkeley  Branch  Li- 
brary, the  third  branch  of  the  Berkeley 
Public  Library  system  to  be  housed  in 
its  own  building,  was  opened  for  service 
May  4,  1927.  It  is  located  on  the  corner 
of  Grove  and  Woolsey  streets.  The  build- 
ing is  of  Spanish  type  with  stucco  ex- 
terior and  tile  roof,  and  oak  beams  within. 
The  book  capacity  is  about  10,000  vol- 
umes, with  space  for  extension.  The 
seating  capacity  is  90.  There  is  a  story 
hour  room  for  children  and  a  club  rooni 
for  adults.  These  adjoining  rooms  may 
be  combined  into  one  auditorium  when 
occasion  requires.  The  branch  combines 
in  one  central  and  attractive  unit  the  two 
branches  formerly  known  as  the  South 
Berkeley  and  the  Ashby  Branch  libraries, 
both  of  which  were  in  rented  quarters. 

Mr  Carleton  B.  Joeckel,  Librarian, 
was  granted  a  leave  of  absence  for  one 
year,  effective  July  1,  1927,  for  the  pur- 
pose of  accepting  a  position  as  Associate 
Professor  of  Library  Science  in  the  Li- 
brary School  of  the  University  of  Michi- 
gan. Mr  Joeckel  left  Berkeley  to  attend 
the  American  Library  Association  meet- 
ing at  Toronto.  He  will  then  go  to  Ann 
Arbor,  where  he  will  attend  the  summer 
session  at  the  University  of  Michigan 
before  beginning  his  new  work  at  the  Li- 
brary School.  Miss  Olive  Burroughs, 
Assistant  Librarian,  has  been  appointed 
Acting  Librarian  during  the  absence  of 
Mr  Joeckel. 

The  Berkeley  Public  Library  has  re- 
cently changed  the  system  of  charging 
books,  from  the  inverted  Browne  to  the 
modified  Newark  system.  The  change 
was  made  May  9,  1927.  Details  were 
carefully  studied  and  worked  out  before 
this  date,  and  the  new  system  is  now  in 
good  running  order  and  proving  very  satis- 
factory. The  change  necessitated  a  com- 
plete reregistration  of  all  library  borrow- 
ers, and  all  the  borrowers'  cards  in  effect 
on   May   9th   were   surrendered.      In   the

six  weeks  the  new  charging  system  has 
been  in  force,  15,000  borrowers  have  been 
given  new  cards.  The  process  of  charg- 
ing has  been  simplified  one  step  further 
by  following  the  procedure  used  at  Stock- 
ton Public  Library,  and  not  dating  the 
book  card.

were  still  charged  to  the  school.  The

going  on  to  General  Grant  Park  for  the

Department  of  the  American  Library 
Association  spent  a  day  in  Fresno,  visit- 
ing some  of  the  representative  branches  of 
our  library.  In  the  afternoon  she  had 
tea  with  the  staff  and  told  us  some  of 
the  interesting  things  in  connection  with 
her  work  at  headquarters. 

Seamen's  Book  Week  was  observed  as 
usual  throughout  the  county  and  while 
not  a  great  number  of  books  were  donated 
they  were  in  very  good  condition  and  of 
a  better  type  than  are  sometimes  given 
by  the  public. 

The  summer  branches  at  Bretz  Mill 
and  Sierra  Chautauqua  have  been  opened. 
We  will  not  have  a  branch  at  Huntington 
Lake  this  year  as  it  was  impossible  to 
find  a  suitable  location  for  it.  The  sum- 
mer school  of  the  Fresno  State  Teachers 
College  at  Lakeshore  has  a  large  collec- 
tion of  books  from  the  main  library  but 
these  are  for  the  use  of  the  students  only.

taken  temporarily  by  Miss  Violet  Maddux. 
Miss  Parker  left  the  first  of  July  for  Los 
Angeles,  and  will  not  return. 

We  have  had  a  number  of  different 
girls  working  on  the  school  books,  getting 
them  in  shape  for  the  fall  requisitions. 
We  have  also  had  Mr  Wilson  doing  a 
great  deal  of  rebinding  at  this  time. 

Mrs  Cooper  has  moved  to  Riverside, 
leaving  her  Mulberry  Branch  Library  in 
the  care  of  Mrs  Knights.  Seeley  Branch 
is  now  under  the  efficient  care  of  Mrs

Several  changes  have  taken  place 
among  the  branches.  At  Cartago,  on  the 
marriage  of  Miss  Rosella  Merrick  to  Mr 
John  Marshall,  Mrs  A.  B.  Blackman  took 
charge,  and  the  branch  has  been  moved 
to  the  community  center.  The  continued 
illness  of  Mrs  Garity  compelled  her  resig- 
nation as  custodian  of  Death  Valley 
Branch,  and  Mrs  A.  B.  Jones  was  ap- 
pointed, while  at  Tecopa  the  branch  has 
"gone  back  home"  to  the  house  and  heart 
of  Mrs  V.  V.  Davis.  Although  Mrs 
Davis  lives  at  some  distance  from  Tecopa, 
her  home  is  such  a  real  oasis  in  the  desert 
that  the  people  in  general  make  it  a 
center — her  lawn  an  outdoor  reading  rooni 
in  summer  and  her  fireplace  the  focus  of 
delightful  winter  evenings.  Magazines  of 
greatest  interest  to  miners  have  been 
added  to  the  branch. 

The  Shoshone  Branch,  destroyed  by 
fire  last  fall,  was  re-established  late  in 
March  with  Mrs  Charles  Brown  again  in 
charge. 

Leadfield  Branch  was  discontinued  in 
May,  as  this  boom  mining  town  was  then 
practically  deserted.  A  year  previous, 
when  the  branch  was  established,  about 
2500  inhabitants  were  claimed.  During 
the  year,  with  all  this  shifting  population, 
and  with  four  different  persons  in  charge, 
not  a  book  was  lost,  although  instructions 
to  custodians  had  been  given  only  by 
letter.  Anne  Margrave,  Lib'n.

Miss  Helen  E.  Haines  concluded  in 
May  a  series  of  five  monthly  book  talks, 
open  to  patrons  of  the  library.  Attrac- 
tive lists  of  books  were  distributed  with 
each  talk.  These  book  lectures  are  a  fea- 
ture of  each  winter  season  in  the  library. 

The  first  year  of  specialization  in  read- 
ing for  boys  and  girls  of  high  school  age 
has  proven  the  value  of  this  work.  The 
assistant  in  charge  of  intermediate  work 
is  on  duty  at  the  Readers'  Aid  desk,  where 
she  is  available  for  consultation  about 
books.  A  good  many  lists  of  books  for 
high  school  age  have  been  prepared  for 
general  distribution ;  contacts  have  been 
made  with  the  high  school  English  depart- 
ment and  with  the  Part-Time  school.  One 
of  the  most  important  activities  of  the 
assistant  for  intermediate  work  has  been 
the  preparation  of  a  list  of  books  for  high 
school  English  leisure  time  reading.  This 
list  was  prepared  to  supplement  and  bring 
up  to  date  an  older  list.  A  number  of 
group  meetings  were  held  to  discuss  the 
books  selected  and  many  books  wei'e  read 
and  reported  on. 

The  library  has  recently  conducted  a 
book  drive.  This  was  somewhat  in  the 
nature  of  an  experiment.  Fiction  in  par- 
ticular was  requested  and  a  good  deal  of 
publicity  was  given  to  the  library's  need 
for  books,  emphasizing  the  tremendous 
fiction  turnover  and  the  consequent  wear- 
ing out.  The  drive  resulted  in  about  500 
usable  novels,  and  good  books  have  been

The  gift  of  a  site  for  a  branch  library 
building  for  Gardena  was  made  by  Mrs 
Lizzie  K.  Coltrin  and  accepted  by  the 
Board  of  Library  Commissioners.  The 
lot  is  on  Palm  Avenue,  between  Gardena 
and  Main  Street. 

The  Chamber  Music  Concerts  given  in 
the  Lecture  Room,  through  the  generosity 
of  Mrs  Elizabeth  Sprague  Coolidge  on 
April  23,  24  and  25,  were  greatly  enjoyed 
and  appreciated  by  the  music  lovers  of 
Los  Angeles. 

Provision  has  been  made  for  the  pur- 
chase of  books  with  which  to  provide  ser- 
vice on  and  after  July  1  to  Barnes  City 
and  Mar  Vista,  two  small  communities 
which  have  voted  themselves  into  the 
city.  Plans  also  have  been  made  for 
moving  the  Los  Feliz  Branch  and  the 
Lankershim  Branch  to  better  locations 
and  changing  Atwater  from  a  station  to  a 
suburban  branch. 

Work  is  proceeding  on  the  sculpture 
designs  of  Lee  Lawrie  over  the  various 
entrance  doors,  the  carving  at  the  Fifth 
Street  entrance  and  the  entrance  to  the 
Boys  and  Girls  Room  being  now  practi- 
cally completed. 

Approximately  1500  books  from  the 
library  of  the  late  Dr  Norman  Bridge 
were  bequeathed  to  the  Public  Library  by 
Mrs  Bridge.  The  gift  is  distinctive  not 
only  for  its  valuable  sets  but  because 
every  individual  title  will  be  useful. 

The  Book  Plate  Association  Interna- 
tional has  presented  the  Library  with  a 
collection  of  226  book  plates  which  were 
on  exhibit  in  the  Lecture  Room  at  one 
time  during  the  year. 

During  May  and  June,  three  new 
branch  library  buildings  were  completed 
and  opened  for  public  use — Richard  Henry 
Dana,  Malabar  and  John  C.  Fremont. 

A  beautiful  sepia  copy  of  one  of  Gil- 
bert Stuart's  famous  portraits  of  George 
Washington,    appropriately    framed,    has

been    presented    to    the    Library    by    the 
Daughters  of  the  American  Colonists. 

The  decorative  scheme  of  Dean  Corn- 
well  for  completing  the  walls  of  the  ro- 
tunda was  accepted  by  the  Board  of 
Library  Commissioners.  The  decoration 
of  the  walls  of  the  first  floor  lobby  and 
the  Hope  Street  entrance  was  awarded  to 
Alfred  Herter.  The  Cornwell  plan  por- 
trays the  early  history  of  California  and 
will  require  some  three  years  for  execu- 
tion. 

Mrs  Madelene  Marshall,  formerly  of 
Detroit  Public  Library,  has  been  ap- 
pointed librarian  of  Wilmington  Branch. 
Miss  Faith  Smith,  now  of  the  Lange 
Library  at  Berkeley,  will  return  to  Los 
Angeles  on  the  first  of  September  to  take 
charge  of  the  new  department  of  Philos- 
ophy and  Religion,  which  will  be  ready 
for  service  October  1. 

Mr  Orra  E.  Monnette,  President  of  the 
Board  of  Library  Commissioners,  at- 
tended the  meeting  of  the  A.  L.  A.  in 
Toronto,  and  addressed  the  Trustee  sec- 
tion. Mr  Read,  head  of  the  Order  De- 
partment, was  given  time  to  visit  libra- 
ries in  the  East  before  and  after  the 
A.  L.  A.  meeting,  and  Miss  Horton  was

Miss  Sarah  M.  Jacobus,  Lib'n. 

The  Tenth  Street  Branch  was  discon- 
tinued in  May.  The  Library  had  had  the 
use  of  an  unoccupied  school  room,  but 
with  time  this  became  required  for  school 
purposes,  and  proper  supervision  and 
care  of  library  property  was  impossible. 
Most  of  the  library  patrons  have  trans- 
ferred themselves  to  the  main  library. 

After  much  experimentation  with  var- 
ious kinds  of  guides  for  the  slip  tray,  we 
have  adopted  lacquered  zinc  strips.  These 
are  thin,  smooth,  neat  and  durable,  and 
less  expensive  than  the  commercial  guides. 

Miss  Ermine  Groves  has  resigned,  to 
take  a  position  in  the  Whittier  Public 
Library.  Miss  Rebecca  Burdorf  has  re- 
signed on  account  of  ill  health.  Mrs 
Howard  Payne  and  Miss  Helen  Schwindt,

It  gives  me  pleasure  to  say  that  on 
July  2  the  Library  Board  voted  an  in- 
crease of  $10  to  each  staff  member  who 
had  had  technical  training,  and  of  $5  to

work  was  done  under  the  direction  of  the 
County  Library. 

Mr  and  Mrs  Henry  Foletta,  in  charge 
at  San  Ardo,  sold  out  their  business  in 
April,  and  the  branch  has  been  tempor- 
arily suspended  until  a  new  location  can 
be  found. 

Parkfield  Branch  is  now  in  operation 
again,  having  been  closed  about  two 
months  on  account  of  the  illness  of  the 
custodian.  During  this  period  books  were 
mailed  to  individuals  upon  request. 

The  branch  at  Asilomar  reopened  for 
the  summer  June  23.  Rainbow  Lodge 
Branch  opened  for  the  summer  June  24. 

The  Library  had  a  welcome  visit  from 
Mrs  M.  D.  Henshall  of  the  State  Library 
May  4.  Miss  Isabella  Cooper,  Editor  of 
the  A.  L.  A.  Catalogue,  spent  several  days 
in  Monterey  County  the  latter  part  of 
May,  and  we  had  the  pleasure  of  taking 
her  into  the  Big  Sur  country. 

The  County  Librarian  attended  the 
Conference  of  Boys  and  Girls  Agricultural 
Clubs  at  Asilomar  May  7  and  8,  and  went 
for  a  walk  with  the  girls  on  Sunday 
morning.  Five  members  of  the  staff  of

Avenue,  Modesto.  We  found  many  inter- 
esting old  dolls  here  in  Napa  that  people 
were  glad  to  exhibit,  the  oldest  being  Abi- 
gail Windsor  of  Plymouth,  a  doll  one 
hundred  and  twenty-five  years  old.  Rosie, 
a  belle  of  1875,  sporting  a  seal  skin  muff 
and  stole  has  since  burned  with  the  home 
of  her  owner,  Mrs  D.  L.  Beard.  We  had 
expected  to  entertain  the  children,  but 
found  that  men  and  women  were  equally 
interested,  in  fact  a  crowd  two  deep  was 
around  the  table  aU  afternoon.  The 
exhibit  was  also  shown  at  the  St.  Helena 
grammar  school  to  the  delight  of  the 
children.  The  success  was  so  much  more 
than  we  hoped  for  that  we  have  been 
gradually  adding  to  our  collection,  friends 
who  have  been  traveling  abroad  respond- 
ing to  our  demands  generously,  and  we 
now  have  some  twenty  interesting  speci- 
mens. We  shall  be  very  glad  to  lend  our 
collection  at  any  time  to  any  librarj 
planning  an  exhibit.  Miss  Clara  Dills  of 
the  Solano  County  Library  was  a  visitor 
the  day  of  the  doll  show. 

An  exhibit  of  the  Reading  with  a  Pur- 
pose books  was  on  display  in  the  window 
of  the  First  National  Bank  for  one  week. 
On  one  side  was  the  Read  with  a  Pur- 
pose poster,  on  the  other  Save  with  a 
Purpose. 

The  County  Librarian  was  the  guest  of 
Mr  Pollard,  Librarian  of  the  Veterans 
Home  Library,  on  April  20.  Mr  PoUard 
is  brimful  of  ideas  and  seems  to  have  no 
trouble  in  getting  them  carried  out.  His 
is  a  most  attractive  library.  The  whole 
library,  including  the  new  smoking  room 
for  "his  boys,"  is  equipped  with  library 
bureau  furniture.  The  shelves  are  filled 
with  a  good  selection  of  up-to-date  books 
and  all  the  good  magazines.  And  the 
whole  place  fairly  shines,  it  is  so  clean. 
Mr  Pollard  returned  our  caU  but  finds  our 
quarters  quite  crowded  when  compared 
with  his  spacious  rooms.  On  leaving  this 
library  the  county  librarian  drove  up  onto 
Howell  Mountain,  where  she  spoke  to  the 
students  of  the  Pacific  Union  College  on 
the  resources  of  the  State  Library  and  the 
California  Library  system. 

New  shelving  was  installed  at  the  Oak 
Knoll  Branch  and  a  complete  check-up 
given  the  branch.

ramento. Miss  Cornelia  D.  Provines, 
Lib'n. 

The  closing  quarter  of  the  year  was  a 
busy  one  for  the  Sacramento  County 
Free  Library. 

On  May  7  a  very  successful  custodians' 
meeting  was  held  at  the  Hotel  Sacra- 
mento. During  the  morning  session, 
various  problems  relating  to  the  work  of 
the  branches  were  presented  and  dis- 
cussed. A  luncheon  was  served  in  the 
private  dining  room  adjoining  the  room  in 
which  the  meeting  was  held  and  the  after- 
noon session  was  devoted  to  the  subject 
of  Books  and  Reading.  Mr  Milton  J. 
Ferguson,  our  State  Librarian,  gave  a 
most  interesting  and  illuminating  talk 
upon  the  Inspiration  of  Literature,  using 
as  his  theme  a  quotation  from  Eizabeth 
Robert's  Time  of  Man,  in  which  the  long- 
ing of  the  child  of  the  soil  finds  expx-es- 
sion  in  his  wistful  words — "Ther's  more'n 
a  million  books  in  the  world,  an'  I  aint 
read  ary  one  on  'em  yit,  but  I  aim  to 
read  'em  all  'fore  I'm  through."  Mr 
Samuel  Levinson,  of  Levinson's  Book 
Store,  gave  a  review  of  some  of  the  later 
books  of  general  literature,  infusing  into 
his  talk  his  own  keen  literary  apprecia- 
tion and  sense  of  true  values.  Miss 
Provines  spoke  of  some  of  the  more 
notable  amongst  the  new  books  of  fiction. 

The  quarter  was  especially  notable  for 
the  expansion  and  improvement  in  branch 
facilities  and  equipment.  During  the 
month  of  April,  the  Del  Paso  Branch  was 
moved  into  a  much  larger  and  pleasanter 
room  in  the  same  building  in  which  it 
has  been  for  so  long.  The  North  Sacra- 
mento Branch  had  so  far  outgrown  its 
quarters  that  it  became  necessary  to 
build  an  addition  doubling  both  floor 
space  and  shelving  facilities.  The  branch 
was  completely  refurnished,  and  the  stock 
of  books  greatly  increased.  It  now  pre- 
sents a  most  attractive  appearance,  and 
was  reopened  May  14,  having  been  closed 
for  less  than  two  weeks.  The  Fairoaks 
Library  Association,  owners  of  the  build- 
ing which  houses  the  Fairoaks  Branch, 
had  the  interior  of  the  building  completely 
retinted   and   repainted,    and   added   book

shelving  and  a  magazine  rack.  The 
county  completely  refurnished  the  room, 
and  added  many  new  books.  The  Folsom 
Branch  was  also  improved  with  new  floor 
covering  and  window  draperies,  and  the 
addition  of  new  shelving  to  meet  the  de- 
mand for  more  books. 

On  May  31,  we  were  happy  to  receive 
a  visit  from  Miss  Overbury,  of  West 
Riding,  Yorkshire,  England,  and  had  the 
pleasure  of  renewing  our  acquaintance 
with  her  at  Hotel  Gearhart,  Oregon. 

On  May  28,  Granite  School  District 
canceled  their  contract  with  the  Sacra- 
mento County  Free  Library,  as  they  pre- 
fer to  purchase  their  own  books.  On 
June  1,  Sherman  Island  District  joined 
the  County  Library  for  service  during  the 
coming   school   year. 

Miss  C.  D.  Provines  and  Miss  Hazel 
Gibson  attended  the  joint  meeting  of  the 
C.  L.  A.  and  the  P.  N.  L.  A.  at  Hotel 
Gearhart,  Oregon,  and  following  the  meet- 
ing. Miss  Provines  and  Miss  Bessie  B. 
Silverthorn  made  a  trip  to  Skagway, 
Alaska,  visiting  en  route  at  Tacoma, 
Seattle,  Victoria  and  Vancouver,  B.  C, 
besides  viewing  a  part  of  the  Floral 
Parade  of  the  Rose  Festival  at  Portland, 
Oregon.  The  trip  was  altogether  wonder- 
ful and  delightful,  a  happy  ending  to  a 
splendid  meeting.

During  the  convention  of  the  State 
Federation  of  Women's  Clubs  in  Sacra- 
mento, the  City  Library  with  the  coop- 
eration of  the  State  Library  and  two 
local  book  stores  (Levinson's  and  Pur- 
nell's)  put  in  a  very  interesting  book 
exhibit  at  the  Municipal  Auditorium.  It 
supplemented  a  literary  map  of  Cali- 
fornia prepared  by  the  chaii-man  of  liter- 
ature and  also  called  attention  to  child- 
ren's books,  old  and  new,  some  of  the 
best  of  the  current  publications  and  fine 
bindings.

of  absence.  It  is  rumored  that  matrimony 
will  be  her  next  venture. 

The  librarian  attended  the  joint  li- 
brary convention  in  Gearhart  early  in 
June. 

The  following  notice  in  the  local  "Bee" 
proved  effective  for  several  weeks. 

Cross-Word  Puzzle  "Oaf"  is   Sought 
BY  Librarian. 

A  cross-word  puzzle  thief  offered  a  new 
problem  in  crime  for  local  police  authori- 
ties to  solve  today. 

The  hunt  was  launched  on  complaint 
of  Susan  Smith,  city  librarian.  For  more 
than  a  week  the  thief  has  slipped  into  the 
reading  room  daily  and  clipped  the  cross- 
word puzzle  out  of  one  of  the  newspapers 
on  the  file. 

Miss  Smith  has  asked  that  a  plain 
clothes  man  be  stationed  at  the  library  to 
catch  the  thief.  She  figures  him  nothing 
short  of  an  "oaf"  and  a  "caitiff." 

City  Manager  Bottorff  warned  today 
that  mutilation  of  city  property  is  a  jail 
offense  and  that  no  mercy  will  be  shown 
the  violator  if  he  is  caught.

As  the  new  county  court  house  was 
officially  dedicated  on  Saturday,  April  30, 
and  open  house  kept  by  every  department, 
the  new  quarters  of  the  County  Free  Li-

visitors  on  that  day,  the  entire  library 
staff  receiving  the  visitors  from  9.00  a.m. 
to  5.00  p.m.,  with  the  exception  of  from 
2.00  to  4.00  p.m.  when  the  building  was

being  held  in  the  front  of  the  building. 
United  States  Senator  Hiram  W.  John-

One  of  the  things  in  the  library  quar- 
ters in  which  all  visitors  seemed  to  be 
most  interested  was  the  display  case, 
Avhich  contained  the  original  manuscript 
deed,  dated  February  15,  1858,  to  por- 
tions of  the  Rancho  of  San  Bernardino, 
on  which  the  new  court  house  now  stands, 
and  an  old  abstract  of  title  which  gave 
an  account  of  the  deeding  of  this  same 
land  from  the  Lugos.  Another  noted 
manuscript  was  the  bill  presented  before 
the  Congress  of  the  United  States  in 
about  1870  by  Dr  O.  M.  Wozencraft,  the 
originator  of  the  idea,  for  the  reclamation 
of  the  Colorado  desert  lands,  and  by  the 
side  of  it  Senator  Johnson's  more  recent 
bill  on  the  Boulder  Dam  Project,  for  the 
same  purpose.

A  pleasing  program  to  advance  the  love 
and  care  of  books  among  school  children 
was  given  by  a  7th  grade  teacher  in

chosen.  The  children  learned  and  gave 
the  play,  first  to  the  grown  folk  at  the 
Woman's  Club  House,  then  repeated  it 
at  the  Grade  School,  where  the  audience 
was  made  up  of  school  children  only.  In 
addition  to  the  play,  were  talks  on  books 
by  children.  A  child  explained  each  part 
of  a  book,  representing  himself  to  be  the 
cover,  the  body,  the  title  page,  etc.  Book- 
marks were  distributed,   and  the   history

in  books  seemed  to  pervade  the  air.  The

of  which  were  composed  by  two  of  the

Gone  is  my  binding,  and  my  title — 

that's  gone  too ; 
Now  in   the   trash   can   in  loneliness 

I  sit. 
And  the  children  do  not  seem  to  care 

One  single  bit.

I'm  going,  I'm  going. 
And  I  do  not  know  just  where, 
And  all  because  you  did  not  give  me

A  book  club  sponsored  by  the  San  Diego 
Public  Library,  held  a  dinner  meeting 
on  the  evening  of  .Tune  4,  1927  at  the 
Golden  Lion  Inn.  More  than  eighty  per- 
sons were  present  and  listened  to  Miss 
Cornelia  D.  Plaister  outline  the  plans 
of  the  new  organization  whose  member- 
ship is  to  be  open  to  all  who  "care  for 
books."  Mr  Julius  Wagenheim  then 
showed  some  rare  and  beautiful  books 
from  his  noteworthy  collection  and  ex- 
plained many  interesting  details  of  the 
book-maker's  art  as  well  as  discussing 
the  amenities  of  book  collecting.  The 
next  meeting  will  be  held  early  in  October.

Miss  Ruth  Fleming,  Lib'n. 

The  College  mourns  the  loss  of  its 
president,  Mr  A.  B.  Anderson,  who  died 
June  9  after  an  illness  of  several  months. 
Mr  Anderson  had  long  been  connected 
with  the  College,  having  been  dean  for 
many  years  under  the  presidency  of  Dr 
Frederic  Burk.  Mr  Anderson  took  a 
keen  personal  interest  in  all  the  activities 
of  the  College  and  the  Training  School. 
In  fact,  he  allowed  himself  to  become  so 
absorbed  that  his  health  suffered  in  con- 
sequence, and  his  illness  was  the  result. 
He  gave  much  of  himself  to  this  school. 
Indeed,  he  gave  all. 

An  event  in  the  Library  was  the  open- 
ing, at  the  beginning  of  the  summer  ses- 
sion, of  an  additional  room  on  the  floor 
below,  with  access  from  the  main  floor 
by  way  of  an  outside,  closed-in  stairway, 
built  on.  Viewed  from  the  outside,  the 
stairway  makes  another  wart  on  our 
funny  old  building ;  but  from  the  inside 
it  has  all  the  aspects  of  a  perfectly  good 
stairway,  with  landings  and  everything. 
The  room  added  was  formerly  the  kinder- 
garten room,  and  was  released,  to  be  made 
ready  for  its  new  use,  when  the  kinder- 
garten-primary building  was  occupied  last 
fall.  Many  suggestions  were  made  by  vari- 
ous faculty  members  to  Mr  Anderson, 
as  to  how  the  space  might  be  utilized ;  but 
he  realized  how  much  the  library  needed 
additional  room,  and  kept  it  for  us  in 
spite  of  all  the  covetous  ones.  Shelved 
on  all  sides,  with  new  lighting  fixtures 
and  new  radiators,  and  study  tables  made 
to  order,  it  makes  a  very  welcome  new 
addition,  with  seats  for  about  forty 
students.

Miss  Kate  M.  Foley,  teacher  of  the 
blind,  visited  our  library  during  the 
quarter,  and  made  many  calls  on  both 
city  and  county  patrons. 

A  story-hour  was  given  for  the  children 
of  the  Calla  and  Summer  Home  dis- 
tricts, June  29,  at  the  home  of  the  cus- 
todian, Mrs  E.  E.  Vest.  This  was  the 
second  story-hour  to  be  held  in  this  dis- 
trict during  the  year.  Many  children 
and  their  parents  attended,  and  Miss 
Mary  Colahan  delightfully  entertained 
the  audience  with  a  variety  of  stories.

Many  new  books  were  added  during 
the  quarter,  special  attention  being  given 
to  triavel  books  which  were  attractively 
displayed,  gaining  a  wide  circulation. 
Vacation  privileges  were  stressed  and 
many  availed  themselves  of  the  oppor- 
tunity   thus    afforded. 

The  work  in  the  Reference  Department 
has  been  unusually  active  owing  to  the 
summer  session  of  the  College  of  the 
Pacific. 

The  Children's  Department  received  a 
selection  of  new  books  especially  adapted 
for  summer  reading,  which  have  proven 
attractive  to  both  the  older  and  younger 
children.  In  order  to  enlist  their  interest 
in  the  non-fiction  books,  the  members  of 
the  Reading  Club  were  asked  to  submit  a 
list  of  ten  books  which  they  considered 
most  interesting,  from  which  a  list  will 
be  compiled  and  posted  in  the  Juvenile 
Room. 

The  Children's  Reading  Club  of  the 
Public  Library  held  its  annual  picnic 
June  23,  under  the  trees  at  Oak  Park. 
Officers  were  elected  and  presented  with 
their  oflScial  badges,  and  special  interest 
was  shown  in  a  "Book  Questions"  con- 
test, the  winners  being  awarded  attrac- 
tive prizes  of  books.

Variety  is  verily  the  spice  of  the  li- 
brarian's life  and  she  has  plenty  of  it. 
Monotony  is  a  word  unknown  in  the  vo- 
cabulary of  a  county  librarian.  Variety 
in  help  seems  to  be  the  strongest  bit  of 
spice  in  most  librarians'  lives  and  Tehama 
County  has  its  share.  On  June  15  Miss 
Neva  Reno,  first  assistant,  left  the  staff 
to  become  librarian  of  the  Herbert  Kraft 
Memorial  Library  of  Red  Bluff  and  on 
July  1  Miss  Idella  Mendenhall  slipped

visit  with  Miss  Frink  which  demonstrated 
again  what  benefit  one  derives  from  fre- 
quent contact  with  one's  colleagues. 

The  library  was  visited  by  several  of 
the  travelers  on  their  way  to  and  from 
Gearhart. 

Gerber  Branch  Library  was  suspended 
in  April  until  such  time  as  some  satis- 
factory arrangement  can  be  made  for  a 
room  to  be  used  exclusively  for  the  library 
and  with  a  paid  librarian  ill  charge.  A 
committee  from  the  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce was  appointed  to  look  into  the 
matter  and  it  is  hoped  that  something 
may  develop  during  1927-28.  On  June 
30  Capay  Branch  was  closed  and  the 
borrowers  directed  to  use  Capay  Branch 
of  the  Glenn  County  Library,  an  agree- 
ment having  been  made  between  the  two 
libraries  for  a  joint  service. 

235  library  certificates  were  issued  to 
the  children  in  the  schools  this  year  for 
reading  five  or  more  books.  This  is  a 
gratifying  increase  over  last  year's  record, 
due  in  part  to  the  interest  of  the  Rural 
Supervisor  and  to  stimulation  through 
talks  by  the  county  librarian  on  her  visits 
to   the   schools. 

Camp  Forward,  the  children's  summer 
camp  maintained  by  the  American  Tuber- 
culosis Association,  opened  in  June  at 
which  time  a  shipment  of  200  books  was 
sent  from  the  county  library.  The  li- 
brary is  a  very  important  part  of  the 
camp  activities.  Books  are  issued  each 
morning  and  checked  in  each  night.  This 
year  one  of  the  little  boys  spent  a  morn- 
ing in  the  library  rooms  and  "Oh  Boy !" 
(to  use  his  expression)  he  was  allowed  to 
pick  out  all  the  books  he  wanted  to  read, 
to  be  sent  to  the  camp.  As  a  result  there 
is  probably  a  predominance  of  books  for 
boys  of  ten  in  that  two  hundred,  but  the 
enthusiasm  of  our  missionary  will  doubt- 
less cause  most  of  them  to  be  read  by 
the  rest  of  the  boys  in  camp.

it  will  be  glad  to  know  of  libraries  that 
want  head  librarians  or  assistants  in  any 
branch  of  their  work.  In  writing  for

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

DISTRICT  MEETINGS. 

First,    Second    and    Third    Districts 
Meeting. 

A  joint  meeting  of  the  First,  Second 
and  Third  Districts  of  the  California  Li- 
brary Association  was  held  at  Asilomar, 
April  22-24,  1927.  It  was  planned  to 
combine  a  week-end  of  recreation  with  the 
informal  discussion  of  library  problems. 
Accordingly  a  series  of  round  tables  was 
arranged. 

Miss  Mary  Barmby,  president  of  the 
First  and  Second  Districts,  called  the 
conference  together  at  9.30  Saturday 
morning.  Miss  Stanton,  director  of  Asilo- 
mar, welcomed  the  guests  and  spoke  of 
the  history  and  purpose  of  the  resort. 

Mrs  Elizabeth  S.  Madison,  supervisor 
of  school  libraries,  Oakland,  presided  at 
the  round  table  on  school  libraries.  She 
presented  as  an  introduction  to  the  sub- 
ject the  "relation  of  new  methods  in 
education  to  school  libraries."  Miss  Pat- 
ton,  librarian  of  the  Garfield  Junior  High 
School,  Berkeley,  spoke  of  the  organiza- 
tion of  the  school  librarians  of  Northern 
California.  Miss  Margaret  V.  Girdner,  li- 
brarian of  the  High  School  of  Commerce, 
San  Francisco,  outlined  a  program  of 
study  and  investigation  undertaken  by 
the  school  librarians  of  this  section.  Miss 
Faith  E.  Smith  called  attention  to  the 
data  on  high  school  libraries  that  is  being 


compiled  from  the  returns  of  question- 
naires sent  out  from  the  ofiice  of  the 
State  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruc- 
tion. 

The  second  round  table  on  "'personnel 
problems"  was  led  by  Miss  Edith  M. 
Coulter,  who  reviewed  the  report  on  the 
"Proposed  Classification  and  Compensa- 
tion Plans  for  Library  Positions."  Miss 
Mabel  R.  Gillis,  Miss  Mabel  Thomas, 
Miss  Margaret  Greene,  Miss  Florence  M. 
Craig  and  Mrs  E.  S.  Singletary  partici- 
pated in  the  discussion. 

Two  round  tables  were  held  simul- 
taneously in  the  afternoon.  Miss  Frances 
Patterson,  of  Palo  Alto  Public  Library 
was  chairman  of  the  circulation  work 
section,  at  which  Miss  Susan  T.  Smith, 
of  Sacramento  Public  Library  led  the 
discussion.  At  the  round  table  on  library 
service  to  schools  Miss  Jean  D.  Baird  of 
Alameda  County  Free  Library  was  chair- 
man and  the  speakers  were  Miss  Greene, 
Miss  Florence  J.  Wheaton  of  San  Benito 
County,  Mrs  L.  R.  Frisby  of  Santa  Clara 
County,  and  Miss  Ruth  Porter  of  Mon- 
terey County. 

Mrs  Amy  Stafford,  music  supervisor 
at  the  Monterey  High  School,  sang  several 
children's  wild  flower  songs  in  a  delight- 
ful manner. 

A  costume  party  featuring  the  librar- 
ian of  the  "gay  nineties,"  was  held 
Saturday  evening  in  the  Social  Hall. 
Sunday  morning  Dr  Harold  Heath  of 
Hopkins  Marine  Station  spoke  informally 
on  the  many  interesting  scientific  facts 
connected  with  the  Monterey  Bay  region.

Fourth     District    Meeting. 

The  convention  of  tlie  Fourth  District 
of  the  California  Library  Association  was 
called  to  order  by  the  President,  Miss 
Gretchen  Flower,  at  10.4.5  o'clock  on  the 
morning  of  May  20,  1927,  in  the  Munici-

tion  as  comity  represeutative.  He  was 
followed  by  E.  F.  Lambert,  •  Mayor  of 
Tisalia,  who  extended  greetings  from  the 
city,  and  took  the  opportunity  of  stress- 
ing the  vital  importance  of  libraries  to 
progressive   communities. 

The  business  part  of  the  meeting  was 
disposed  of  after  these  speeches.  Mrs 
Julia  G.  Babcock,  Librarian  of  Kern 
County  Free  Library  was  unanimously 
elected  nominator  for  this  district  at  the 
California  Library  Association  conven- 
tion, since  Miss  Flower  was  unable  to 
serve,  and  Miss  Blanche  Galloway  of 
Madera  County  Free  Librarj'  was  made 
alternate. 

Milton  J.  Ferguson,  State  Librarian, 
was  next  on  the  program,  and  gave  im- 
portant points  about  the  developing  li- 
brary system  in  Louisiana,  and  the  splen- 
did work  which  Miss  Culver,  and  her 
assistant,  Miss  Harris,  are  doing  there. 
In  spite  of  damage  and  loss  occasioned 
by  the  flood,  the  work  is  going  forward, 
and  an  intensive  library  program  is  being 
put  through  in  the  Jefferson  Davis 
Parish. 

Mr  Ferguson  ui-ged  that  all  who  pos- 
sibly could  attend  the  joint  convention 
at  Gearhart,  Oregon,  and  mentioned  the 
fact  that  California  may  be  the  choice 
for  the  American  Library  Association  in 
1929.  As  a  closing  word  Mr  Ferguson 
brought  the  assurance  that  California  li- 
brary work  is  being  recognized,  even  inter- 
nationally, and  spoke  of  the  invitation 
which  he  had  received  to  speak  at  the 
meeting  of  the  British  Library  Associa- 
tion in  Edinbui'gh.  in  September,  1927, 
his  subject  to  be  Rural  Libraries. 

Mrs  Julia  G.  Babcock  made  a  brief 
speech,  urging  members  to  join  the  Ameri- 
can Library  Association,  reminding  us 
that  this  was  the  central  national  organi- 
zation, and  constantly  working  for  better 
salaries,  better  buildings,  better  equip- 
ment, and  the  general  advance  of  the  li- 
brary profession. 

Miss  Sarah  F.  McCardle,  Librarian  of 
the  Fre.sno  County  Free  Library,  made  an 
announcement  concerning  the  adult  edu- 
cation courses  at  Mills  College,  to  be 
given  there  in  August.  This  is  a  project 
which  is  receiving  the  support  of  the 
California  Library  Association. 

The  convention  was  then  addressed  by 


^Monica  Shannon  (Mrs  Elbert  Wing) 
who  gave  some  practical  and  illuminating 
suggestions  about  library  publicity 
through  the  newspapers,  and  then  told 
her  interested  audience  about  her  experi- 
ences when  her  book,  California  Fairy 
Tales  Avas  accepted  for  publication.  Miss 
Shannon  very  generously  read  one  of  her 
unpublished  fairy  tales,  a  surprise  for 
which  we  were  all  most  grateful,  and 
which  brought  enthusiastic  applause. 

The  morning  program  ended  with  the 
g!nging  of  three  fine  songs  by  Mr  Josephs 
of  Visalia. 

Luncheon  was  served  at  the  Hotel 
Johnson,  with  round  table  discussions  for 
those  engaged  in  the  various  branches 
of  library  work. 

The  first  number  on  the  afternoon  pro- 
gram was  a  reading  of  "The  Jazz  Singer" 
by  Professor  G.  H.  Hunting  of  the  Fresno 
State  Teachers'  College.  Professor  Hunt- 
ing gave  a  memorable  reading  of  this  very 
dramatic  and  striking  modern  play. 

This  was  followed  by  three  songs 
sung  by  Reverend  H.  S.  Cushing,  which 
were  very  much  enjoyed. 

The  closing  address  of  the  day  was 
made  by  Col.  George  W.  Stewart,  and  his 
subject  was  the  "Indians  of  the  San 
Joaquin  Valley."  Col.  Stewart's  stories 
from  Indian  folklore,  his  explanation  of 
their  use  of  the  sign  language,  and  his 
description  of  their  primitive  customs  and 
methods  of  living  were  most  interesting 
to  us,  who  are  living  here  now. 

At  the  close  of  this  program,  more  than 
35  members  who  had  planned  to  take 
advantage  of  Miss  Flower's  thoughtful 
arrangements  for  a  trip  to  Giant  Forest, 
left  for  that  resort.  Miss  Flower  had 
scheduled  a  most  attractive  evening  pro- 
gram, and  a  splendid  outing  was  assured 
them. 

Makiox  L.  Gregoet,   Secretary. 

Seventh   District  Meeting. 

A  meeting  of  the  Seventh  District  of 
the  California  Library  Association  was 
held  in  Eureka,  Saturday,  April  30,  1927. 
A  luncheon  served  at  the  Eureka  Inn, 
preceded  the  meeting,  twenty-eight  being 
present. 

Mrs  R.  W.  Swetman,  of  the  Areata 
Reading  Club,  gave  a  talk,  telling  of  the

aims  of  their  club  and  also  gave  short 
reviews  of  the  books  the  club  had  studied 
during  the  winter. 

Mr  C.  Edward  Graves  of  the  Humboldt 
State  Teachers  College  spoke  about  his 
course  in  Recreational  Reading  and  also 
of  his  experiment  in  sending  out  "Liter- 
ary Merit"  and  "Personal  Enjoyment" 
ballots  to  various  library  staffs.  "The 
object  of  this  experiment  is  to  find  out 
whether  there  is  a  Central  'tendency' 
in  estimating  the  degree  of  personal  en- 


joyment and  literary  merit  obtained  from 
the  reading  of  any  given  book." 

For  the  first  time  since  the  organiza- 
tion of  the  Seventh  District,  Del  Norte 
County  was  represented,  Miss  Mildred 
Duffy,  the  Librarian  at  Crescent  City 
and  Miss  McLaughlin,  being  present. 

At  the  business  meeting,  Mr  C.  Edward 
Graves  was  elected  member  of  the  Nomi- 
nation Committee  from  the  Seventh  Dis- 
trict and  Miss  Ida  M.  Reagan  was  elected 
Alternate.

A  MANUAL  FOR  CUSTODIANS. 

Lagt  quarter  we  reported  a  Manual 
for  Custodians  sent  in  by  the  Tulare 
County  Free  Library.  This  quarter  v?e 
have  received  another — this  time  from 
the  Los  Angeles  County  Free  Library. 
This  is  also  clear  and  detailed  and  out- 
lines the  practices  in  a  very  large  county 
library. 

SOME    PUBLICATIONS. 

The  Los  Angeles  County  Free  Library 
is  issuing  a  quarterly,  "Books  and  Notes." 
The  first  number,  dated  October,  1926, 
gives  a  general  statement  regarding  the 
publication  and  the  county  library,  a  de- 
scription of  the  departments  at  head- 
quarters and  lists  the  recent  accessions. 
The  next  number  is  devoted  mainly  to 
service  to  teachers  and  schools,  and  the 
April  issue  to  books  for  boys  and  girls. 
The  quarterly  is  attractive  in  make-up 
and  appearance,  being  illusti-ated  and 
well  printed. 

There  are  several  other  county  library 
publications,  although  the  Quarterly  Bul- 
letin, issued  by  the  Kern  County  Free 
Library,  is  the  only  other  printed  bulletin.

The  Plumas  County  Free  Library  has 
issued  for  several   years  past  a  Monthly 


Letter  to  Custodians  and  irregular  ones 
to  teachers.  These  are  mimeographed 
and  contain  suggestions,  news  items,  etc. 
The  Contra  Costa  County  Free  Library 
has  its  Library  Link,  a  mimeographed 
folder  with  the  county  library  sign  on 
the  outside.  Sutter  County  Free  Li- 
brary recently  started  County  Library 
Chat,  a  mimeographed  sheet.  Tehama 
County  has  issued  thi-ee  numbers  of  The 
Slate,  "upon  which  is  recorded,  now  and 
then,  suggestions  for  teachers'  profes- 
sional reading  and  occasionally  books  to 
be  recommended  to  the  children."  Napa 
County  has  a  gay  yellow  mimeographed 
Library  Bulletin,  issued  irregularly. 
Fresno  County  has  sent  out  some  num- 
bers of  typed  or  mimeographed  County 
Library  Notes,  as  has  Inyo  County.  The 
latter    is    called    Inyo    Library    Workers. 

There  may  be  other  county  library 
bulletins  but  these  are  the  only  ones  on 
file  in  the  State  Library.  Some  of 
these  are  somewhat  difficult  to  check 
because  not  dated.  The  date  will  add  to 
the  value  of  any  publication,  no  matter 
how  infoi-mal. 

All  library  bulletins  of  this  sort  should 
be  sent  regularly  to  the  State  Library. 
You  are  asked  to  put  the  State  Library

LIBRARY  CLUBS,  ETC. 


Under  this  heading  will  be  given 
accounts  of  meetings  of  the  various 
library  clubs  and  similar  organizations 
throughout  the  state.  News  items  of 
the  various  clubs  are  solicited. 

COLLEGE  AND  UNIVERSITY 
LIBRARIANS'  CONFERENCE  OF 
SOUTHERN    CALIFORNIA. 

The  spring  meeting  of  the  College  and 
University  Library  Conference  was  held 
at  the  University  of  California  at  Los 
Angeles,  AprU  23,  1927. 

The  President,  Miss  Charlotte  Brown, 
Librarian  of  the  University  of  SouLhern 
California,  conducted  a  short  informil 
discussion  in  the  forenoon,  followed  by  a 
most  interesting  and  delightfully  informal 
talk  by  Mr  Arthur  M.  Ellis,  President 
of  the  Historical  Society  of  Southern 
California,  who  spoke  of  the  colorful  and 
significant  early  history  of  California,  and 
the  possibility  of  still  gathering  important 
material  and  data  in  our  immediate  vicin- 
ity. He  told  of  the  possibility  of  certain 
fascinating  fields  for  investigation,  such 
as  the  early  intimate  histories  of  the  li- 
braries, and  the  drifting  back  to  the 
Spanish  regime  after  the  early  American 
occupation.  He  touched  also  upon  the 
analogy  between  the  early  events  in  Cali- 
fornia history  and  the  basic  principles  of 
development  in  the  national  government, 
speaking  of  the  independent  states  which 
were  established.  His  talk  was  rich  in 
historical  allusion  and  interest. 

After  a  pleasant  luncheon  hour,  the 
President  turned  the  meeting  over  to  Mr 
Goodwin,  Librarian  of  the  University  of 
California  at  Los  Angeles,  who  intro- 
duced Dr  Malcolm  W.  Graham,  assist- 
ant professor  of  Political  Science  of  the 
University,  who  addressed  us  on  "Some 
Aspects  of  International  Organization."' 
Dr  Graham  was  a  member  of  the  profes- 
sional commission  sent  to  Europe  last 
year  under  the  Carnegie  Foundation  for 
International  Peace,  for  the  purpose  of 
making  a  clinical  study  of  international 
and  constitutional  law.  The  liberal  con- 
ditions, or  rather  the  lack  of  restrictions 
imposed  upon  them  enabled  them  to  ol)- 


serve  independently,  and  allowed  them  un- 
precedented opportunities  of  seeing  ch" 
actual  making  of  international  affnirs 
as  they  are  conducted  by  the  govern- 
ments. 

The  entire  commission  was  admitted  to 
the  Library  of  the  French  Foreign  office, 
where  the  click  of  a  typewriter  is  never 
heard.  In  the  archival  room  they  were 
shown  the  original  treaty  of  the  recogni- 
tion by  France  of  the  new  American  na- 
tion, and  the  original  Treaty  of  Versailles. 

Throughout  his  address  Dr  Graham 
emphasized  the  part  which  libraries 
play  in  national  and  international  affairs. 
The  collection  of  material  so  that  the 
whole  mass  of  facts  may  be  obtained  is 
of  inestimable  value,  and  the  modern 
nethods  now  being  inaugurated  are  chang- 
ing the  medieval  idea  of  mere  collecting 
to  .  availability.  The  Library  Training 
School  at  Paris  is  increasingly  signifi- 
cant, as  other  countries  are  sending  rep- 
resentatives to  the  school,  and  the 
American  library  practice  is  being  spread 
over   Europe. 

Dr  Graham  spoke  specifically  of  The 
Hague,  the  work  of  the  Permanent  Court 
of  Arbitration  and  of  the  Permanent 
Court  of  International  Justice,  and  also 
of  the  minor  courts,  of  which  we  hear 
nothing.  He  mentioned  the  friendship 
and  understanding  existing  between  the 
judges. 

Geneva  is  the  Mecca  for  travelers,  for 
there  the  Commission  found  the  geniality 
and  liberality  of  atmosphere  conducive 
to  the  work  of  the  League  of  Nations, 
which  is  becoming  a  center  for  all  inter- 
national affairs,  over  two  hundred  organi- 
zations already  having  their  headquarters 
there. 

The.v  found  the  Internatiojial  Labor 
Office  housed  in  a  fine  building,  the  most 
dynamic  organization  at  Geneva.  They 
are  scientifically  and  skilfully  trying  to 
prevent  the,  economic  causes  of  wjir.  Dr 
Graham  stressed  the  work  of  Florence 
Wilson,  the  Librarian  of  the  International 
Labor  Library,  in  her  ambition  to  m.ake 
the  library  a  kind  of  super-Congressional 
library.

NEWS  NOTES  OF   CALIFORNIA   LIBRARIES.  [Julj,  1927 


The  impression  of  Geneva  stnleanien 
given  was  that  they  were  not  there  for 
oratory  but  for  a  quiet,  patient  getting 
at  facts  in  order  that  the  nations  of  the 
world  may  understand  each  other  and 
live  in   peace. 

After  Dr  Graham's  address,  Mr  Good- 
win spoke  of  the  prospective  library  bniid- 
ing,  soon  to  be  erected  on  the  new  campus, 
showing  the  preliminary  plans.  This 
closed  a  most  delightful  day. 

Winifred  E.  Skin-ner,  Secretary. 

Miss  Frances  H.  Spining,  Librarian 
of  the  California  Institute  of  Technology, 
Pasadena,  was  elected  president  and  Mrs 
Ethelene  Kitching,  Librarian  of  Fuller- 
ton  Junior  College,  Secretary  for  the  en- 
suing year. — Los  Angeles   Times,  Ap  24 

ORANGE  COUNTY   LIBRARY  CLUB. 

The  Orange  County  Library  Club  met 
Saturday,  May  14,  with  Mrs  Olive  Bailey 
in  the  delightful  new  library  at  Placentia. 

The  meeting  was  called  to  order  at 
10.30  by  the  newly  elected  President,  Miss 
Margaret  Livingston.  Attention  was 
called  to  the  fact  that  the  nominating 
committee  had  not  completed  its  work  at 
the  last  meeting,  so  had  carried  over  the 
business  of  nominating  a  vice  president. 
They  were  now  ready  with  their  report 
and  nominated  Mrs  Frank  Dowling  for 
the  office  of  vice  president.  She  was 
accordingly  voted  into  office. 

Miss  Livingston  spoke  of  the  California 
Library  Association  meeting  to  be  held 
at  Gearhart,  Oregon,  in  June,  and  urged 
all  librarians  to  attend,  if  possible. 

Mrs  Margaret  Scott,  chairman  of  the 
program  committee,  then  took  charge  of 
the  meeting  and  introduced  Mr  Richard 
Warner  Borst,  of  the  FuUerton  Junior 
College.  Mr  Borst  gave  a  most  interest- 
ing review  of  Arnold  Bennett's  "Old 
Wives  Tales."  Next  on  the  program  was 
a  question  box.  Discussions  were  given 
on  library  floor  coverings  and  how  to 
interest  business  people  in  the  technical 
books  to  be  found  in  public  libraries. 

The  meeting  then  adjourned  for  the 
summer. 

A  tasty  luncheon  was  spread  at  the 
Round  Table  Club.  It  was  followed  by  a 
vote  of  thanks  to  Mrs  Bailey  and  to  the 
ones  who  prepared  the  feast.  Miss 
Livingston  then  suggested  that  Mr  Borst 


and  Mrs  Borst  become  associate  members 
of  the  club.  This  was  moved  and  sec- 
onded, and  the  vote  was  carried,  for  the 
O.  C.  L.  C.  wants  to  hear  more  of  Mr 
Borst's  splendid  reviews. 

Dr  Frank  Dowling  was  called  upon 
for  an  after-dinner  speech,  which  was 
given  in  his  usual  droll  manner. 

No  definite  plans  have  been  made  as 
yet  for  the  next  meeting,  which  will  be 
held  sometime  in  September. 

Helen    G.    Nelson,    Secretary.

SPECIAL  LIBRARIES  ASSOCIATION 
OF   SOUTHERN   CALIFORNIA. 

The  Special  Libraries  Association  of 
Southern  California  held  its  April  meet- 
ing in  Riverside  Saturday,  April  9,  as 
guests  of  Miss  Bernice  Loveland,  Li- 
brarian of  the  Southern  Sierras  Power 
Company. 

Twenty-five  members  of  the  associa- 
tion came  to  the  city  from  Los  Angeles 
and  vicinity,  meeting  at  the  Mission  Inn 
for  luncheon.  After  luncheon  and  a  tour 
of  the  Inn,  the  company  adjourned  to 
the  library  of  the  Southern  Sierras  Power 
Company  Avhere  a  short  and  informal 
meeting  was  held.  Herbert  Dewes  wel- 
comed the  guests  in  the  name  of  the 
power  company  and  Miss  Loveland  gave 
a  short  talk  on  the  work  of  her  library 
and  some  of  the  special  problems  of  the 
technical  library.  Later  the  party  was 
taken  for  a  drive  through  the  orange 
groves,  making  a  stop  at  the  Library  of 
the  Citrus  Experiment  Station,  where 
Miss  Poteet,  librarian,  explained  some  of 
the  interesting  features  of  this  type  of 
special  library.  She  also  showed  some 
very  interesting  old  books  on  citrus  cul- 
ture. The  visiting  librarians  expressed 
themselves  as  charmed  with  Riverside 
and  delighted  at  the  opportunity  to  enjoy 
a  day  here  when  the  flowers  are  at  their 
loveliest.

The  June  meeting,  the  last  of  the  sea- 
son, was  held  in  the  library  of  the 
Southern  California  Edison  Company, 
June  7,  at  Miss  Purcell's  invitation. 
About  15  members  were  present. 

Mrs  Irish  called  the  meeting  to  order 
promptly  and  requested  the  seci-etary  to 
read  the  minutes  of  the  last  meeting  and 
the  annual  report,  which  were  accepted  as 
read.  This  was  followed  by  the  reports 
of  the  chairman  of  the  Program  Com- 
mittee, the  Directory  Committee  and  the 
Custodian  of  the  Union  List. 

Mrs  Irish  then  brought  up  for  discus- 
sion the  rules  of  our  constitution  x-egard- 
ing  the  procedure  to  be  followed  after  the 
annual  election  of  officers,  and  the  con- 
trary practice  which  has  hitherto  been 
observed.  A  motion  was  made  to  have 
the  constitution  revised,  in  order  to  have 
it  in  conformity  with  present  practices 
and  conditions,  since  our  amalgamation 
with  the  national  association.  Miss  Frey, 
Mrs  Townsend  and  Miss  Greene  were  ap- 
pointed a  committee  to  revise  the  constitu- 
tion. 

We  then  proceeded  to  the  election  of 
officers  for  the  coming  season.     Nomina- 


tions were  made  from  the  floor  and  a  vote 
was  taken.  Miss  Josephine  B.  HoUings- 
worth.  Science  and  Industry  Department, 
Los  Angeles  Public  Library  was  elected 
president  by  unanimous  vote. 

Miss  Rose  Marie  Purcell,  of  the  South- 
ern California  Edison  Company  and  Miss 
E.  Ruth  Jones  of  the  Security  Trust  and 
Savings  Bank  were  nominated  for  Vice 
President,  and  the  former  was  elected. 

The  nominations  for  Secretary-Trea- 
surer were  Mrs  Helen  D.  Townsend  of  the 
Barlow  Medical  Library,  Miss  Anna  F. 
Frey  of  the  Western  Precipitation  Co.  and 
Miss  Gladys  M.  Crowe  of  the  Moneta 
Branch  Library.  Mrs  Townsend  was 
elected. 

Miss  Lenore  Greene  of  the  Los  Angeles 
Museum  was  elected  a  member  of  the 
Executive  Board. 

Mr  Marion,  Chairman  of  the  Publicity 
Committee,  arrived  somewhat  late  and 
proceeded  to  read  his  report,  making  vari- 
ous recommendations  and  suggestions. 

The  general  consensus  of  opinion  was 
that  the  past  season  has  been  one  of  good 
progress  and  great  enjoyment.

News  Items. 

Blanche  Chalfant,  '14,  was  married  on 
June  1  to  Mr  De  Forest  Nathaniel 
Wheeler.  After  a  four  months'  trip 
through  the  east,  they  can  be  reached  at 
Box  865,  San  Jose,  until  their  home  near 
Belmont  is  completed. 

Agnes  Brown  '15,  has  resigned  her 
position  in  the  San  Diego  High  School 
Library. 

Marion  Morse  '17,  has  written  as  fol- 
lows about  her  new  position — librarian 
of  the  Honolulu  Academy  of  Art : 

"This  is  a  great  change  from  county 
library  work.  We  have  here  a  very  valu- 
able collection  of  books  on  art.  The  em- 
phasis is  on  oriental  art,  which  is  quite 
natural  considering  our  position.  Al- 
together we  have  some  six  hundred  vol- 
umes in  all  different  languages.  I  had  to 
have  assistance  with  the  Chinese  and 
Japanese.  We  also  have  all  the  leading 
art  magazines  of  the  world.  I  have  the 
books  all  cataloged  and  am  now  trying 
to  catch  up  with  indexing  the  magazines. 

Besides  this  the  collection  of  loan 
pictures  is  in  my  care.  This  collection 
was  begun  by  the  Honolulu  Art  Society 
and  consists  of  about  two  thousand 
mounted  pictures,  and  a  hundred  or  more 
framed  pictures.  My  summer  work  is  to 
catalog  these  so  they  will  be  ready  for 
use  when  school  begins.  The  Academy 
employs  Mrs  Schenck  to  give  classes  in 
art  appreciation  in  the  schools  so  the 
pictures  are  really  used.  This  summer 
they  have  sent  her  on  a  museum  trip  to 
Europe. 

The  staff  here  is  not  large.  Mrs  Cox 
is  the  director  and  has  charge  of  the 
Oriental  wing.  Mrs  Poole  has  charge  of 
the  Occidental  wing,  Mrs  Schenck  does 
the  school  work,  someone  is  to  come  soon 
to  help  with  other  outside  activities,  and 
then  there  is  the  stenographer  and  the 
librarian.  When  Mrs  Cox  is  busy  I  have 
to  help,  taking  the  school  classes  through 
the  Oriental  side.  I  may  end  up  by 
becoming  an  expert  in  Oriental  art,  but 
the  hope  is  slight. 

I  have  received  my  notice  of  the  joint 
meeting  of  the  C.  L.  A.   and  the  P.   N. 


L.  A.,  but  it  will  be  impossible  for  me 
to  attend,  much  as  I  would  enjoy  it. 
In  spite  of  my  long  absence  I  still  have 
a  great  aloha  for  California  and  would 
love  to  see  you  all  again."

KEWS   NOTES    OF    CALIFORNIA   LIBRARIES. 


[Oct.,  1927 


CALIFORNIA    LIBRARIES— ANNUAL    STATISTICS    AND 
QUARTERLY  NEWS  ITEMS. 


In  June  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, 
1926,  to  June  30,  1927. 

Branch  library  statistics  are  omitted  under  the  names  of  the  various 
branches.  They  are  included,  however,  in  the  general  figures  given 
under  the  main  library. ,  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  by  quarterly  news  items  covering 
the  period  July  to  October,  1927.  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  Education,  we  have  counted  all  districts 
in  a  union  district  as  separate  districts  in  "number  of  active  school 
districts  that  have  joined  county  libraries." 


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 
the  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  Library  of  Congress  card 
depositories.  This  information  was  re- 
vised in  October,  1926. 

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 : 


January  Ja 
February  F 
March  Mr 
April  Ap 
May  My 
June  Je 


July  Jl 
August  Ag 
September  S 
October  O 
November  N 
December  D 


In  order  that  the  figures  for  circulation 
may  be  uniform,  current  magazines  are 
included  in  the  total  whether  reported 
that  way  or  not. 

An  effort  is  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 
cla.ssrooms,  if  service  is  given  directly  to 
each  classroom  separately,  each  room 
served  is  counted  as  a  branch.  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  46  county  fi"ee 
libraries ;    5   library   district  libraries ;    4

Electric  Co.  The  books  are  shelved  in 
the  Girls'  Recreation  room  and  are  super- 
vised by  the  young  woman  who  is  in 
charge  of  the  welfare  work  among  the 
girls.  It  is  called  the  Industrial  Branch. 
Another  new  branch  was  opened  July  15. 
This  one  is  located  in  Broadmoor  and  is 
on  the  veranda  of  the  home  of  Mrs  Lan- 
sing. It  is  proving  very  popular  in  the 
neighborhood.  In  August,  a  new  branch 
was  opened  in  Castro  Valley  which  is 
called  the  Valley  Branch.  It  is  placed  in 
the  tank  house  of  the  home  of  Mrs  Booth 
and  Mrs  Booth  will  have  charge  of  the 
books.  At  the  opening  much  interest  was 
shown  by  the  community  and  many  bor- 
rowers signed  up  for  membership  cards.

Blind  commenced  its  fall  term  in  Septem- 
ber, it  housed  its  librai-y  under  one  roof 
for  the  first  time  in  the  history  of  the 
school.  Up  to  that  time  the  regular  library 
space  was  entirely  inadequate  to  hold  the 
books,  and  they  were  scattered  through 
all  the  buildings,  wherever  space  was 
available.  The  resultant  confusion  is  not 
difiicult  to  imagine.  But  times  have 
changed.  The  splendid  new  school  build- 
ing boasts  well-equipped,  as  well  as  very 
pleasant  library  quarters,  with  an  in- 
creased circulation  of  books  among  the 
students  as  a  gratifying  result. 

At  the  date  of  writing,  the  library  com- 
prises 1500  American  and  3752  Revised 
Braille  volumes,  making  a  total  of  5252 
volumes.

Edison  Junior  High  is  to  have  a  new 
library  room  as  part  of  the  two-story  ad- 
dition to  the  school  now  under  construc- 
tion. We  are  planning  to  organize  it  in 
accordance  with  the  niost  modern  thought 
in  school  library  practice,  as  to  use,  ar- 
rangement and  equipment.  Seating  ac- 
commodation for  sixty  pupils,  with 
specially  consti-ucted  desks,  is  to  be  pro- 
vided ;  as  well  as  ample  shelf  room  for 
books,  and  special  racks  for  magazines, 
encyclopedias,    reserve   volumes,    etc. 

Edison  Library  contains  approximately 
3000   volumes,   about   half  of  which   are

works  of  fiction  suited  to  the  junior  high 
school  age.  We  are  enthusiastic  about 
our  collections  of  American  and  Euro- 
pean history,  which  are  growing  con- 
stantly. We  have  also  started  collections 
of  works  of  biography,  geography,  science, 
as  well  as  such  practical  subjects  as  cook- 
ing, drawing,  and  mechanical  projects. 

Our  librai-y  is  a  busy  place.  Last  year 
we  had  a  circulation  of  almost  10,000 
volumes,  besides  those  used  in  the  room 
for  reference  work.  It  is  truly  a  school 
library  in  that  we  endeavor  not  only  to 
encourage  pupUs  to  use  it,  but  also  to 
teach  them  how  to  use  it.

QUAKTERLY   NEWS  ITEMS. 

A  class  of  42  teacher-librarians  is 
taking  a  course  of  15  lectures  on  school 
library  technique  from  the  Director  of 
School  Libraries  in  Oakland.  All  of  these 
students  are  in  charge  of  some  Oakland 
school  library  project.  The  15  lectures 
cover  the  main  large  topics  of  library 
technique.  Special  attention  is  given  to  a 
study  of  reading  levels,  vocabulaiT  con- 
tents, correlation  with  child  interest  and 
other  pedagogical  problems  arising  in  the 
school  library,  and  to  selected  book  lists. 

Plans  are  under  way  for  the  new  ad- 
ministration building  of  the  Oakland 
Board  of  Education,  in  which  a  Teachers 
Professional  Library  occupies  a  large 
suite  on  the  second  floor,  adjacent  to  the 
quarters  of  the  directors  of  special  sub- 
jects. The  main  reading  room  is  60  by  40 
feet,  with  4  additional  rooms  in  the  suite : 
the  librarian's  office,  a  consultation 
room,  a  sample  text  book  display  room 
and  a  work  room.  This  library  is  used 
by  the  Executives,  Directors  and  Teachers 
of  the  Oakland  schools.  Mrs  Elizabeth 
Madison  is  librarian.  A  Visual  Education 
Suite  is  under  consideration,  as  an  affili- 
ated activity. 

Prescott  Junior  High  School  held  an 
Opening  Day  for  its  new  library  quarters 
on  October  10  and  11,  every  pupil  in  the 
school  visiting  the  new  library,  together 
with  many  visitors  from  the  neighborhood 
and  executives  of  the  schools.  The  new 
library  is  fitted  to  accommodate  84  stu- 
dents at  one  time  and  is  finished  in  two 
tones  of  warm  grey,  with  a  high  keyed 
green-blue  trim  on  the  outer  edges  of  the 
shelves,  which  is  repeated  in  the  window 
decorations,  and  in  the  color  scheme  of 
the  pictures.  Large  eastern  windows 
admit  the  morning  sunlight,  and  ac- 
centuate the  touches  of  gold  and  mari- 
gold color  which  is  a  part  of  the  color 
scheme.  The  library  is  a  joint  effort  of 
the  art  directors,  the  directing  librarian 
and  the  principal  and  faculty  of  the 
school,  working  with  Miss  Hazel  Batche- 
lor,  the  librarian.  The  unusual  color 
scheme  is  being  tried  out  in  Oakland  to 
see  if  lightness,  cheerfulness  and  colorful 
beauty  can  be  combined  with  the  school 
library  activities.     Standard  library  fur-

niture  is  used.  Upon  one  of  the  opening 
days  the  faculty  of  the  school  presented 
Miss  Batchelor  with  a  book.  When  she 
opened  it,  a  dollar  bill  was  found  between 
each  leaf,  making  a  sum  of  $50.  This  was 
used  for  the  window  decorations.  Mr 
Mortensen,  principal  of  the  school,  says : 
"Our  library  is  one  of  our  most  popular 
social  centers." 

Two  new  school  libraries  are  just  opened 
in  Oakland  schools  under  the  new  stand- 
ards of  construction,  one  in  the  Wood- 
row  Wilson  Junior  High  School,  of  which 
Miss  Lulu  Shelton  is  librarian,  and  one 
in  the  new  Prick  Junior  High  School,  of 
which  Mrs  Mary  Morrison  is  librarian. 
Both  of  these  charming  libraries  are 
finished  in  antique  Gothic,  with  dark 
wood,  and  large  sunny  windows,  to  modify 
the  sombre  coloring.  These  are  the  first 
libraries  to  appear  under  the  new  build- 
ing standards.  Hereafter  no  Junior  High 
School  or  Elementary  School  will  be  built 
in  Oakland  without  a  standard  library. 
The  high  schools  have  long  had  libraries. 
Standard  furniture  gives  generous  equip- 
ment. The  libraries  each  accommodate 
about  65  students. 

During  American  Education  Week,  2 
large  windows  in  one  of  our  principal 
stores  on  the  main  street  of  the  city  will 
be  equipped  as  a  school  library,  showing 
types  of  furniture  used,  new  books  dis- 
played, students  at  catalog,  at  new  book 
rack,  at  travel-folder  case  and  at  charge- 
out  table.  Posters  explain  the  working 
of  the  school  libraries.

QUARTERLY  NEWS  ITEMS. 
Our  new  Principal  rearranged  the  Li- 
brary and  Study  Hall  so  that  the  Library 
opens  off  the  Study  Room,  which  we  call 
a  Reading  Room  now.  Then  the  English 
Teacher  was  appointed  the  Faculty  Libra- 
rian, and  she  organized  a  gi-oup  of  Seniors 
who  have  charge  of  the  Library  work 
during  the  entire  day.  They  are  given 
instructions  regarding  Library  work  and 
are  becoming  good  assistants.  The  shop 
boys,  under  the  direction  of  their  teacher, 
built  in  shelves  for  all  the  books,  so  that 
now  our  Library  resembles  a  real  county 
system.  Miss  Taylor,  County  Librarian, 
gave  some  valuable  assistance  and  sug- 
gested several  changes  which  have  made 
the  Library  function  better.  This  work 
has  been  one  of  the  outstanding  accom- 
plishments of  the  school  term,  and  we  are 
justly  proud  of  the  pupils'  efforts,  because 
their  interest  in  reading  has  grown,  and

QUAETEELY  NEWS  ITEMS. 

Contra  Costa  County  had  an  exhibit  in 
the  State  Fair  and  Mrs  Whitbeck  was 
in  attendance  for  a  few  days. 

For  the  past  two  months  Mrs  Whitbeck 
has  been  running  a  LIBRARY  CORNER 
in  the  Martinez  Gazette,  not  necessarily 
book  reviews  but  bits  of  library  news,  and 
"what-nots,"  to  quote  a  radio  reviewer. 

Quite  extensive  preparations  are  being 
made  for  BOOK  WEEK,  notices  having 
been  sent  to  all  custodians,  all  club  presi- 
dents and  P.  T.  A.  Associations,  and  the 
principals  of  all  schools.  Great  interest 
is  being  shown. 

The  Sunshine  Preventorium  has  been 
opened  on  the  slope  of  Mt.  Diablo  and 
books,  pictures  and  whatever  necessary  for 
school  use  have  been  sent  there. 

The  tax  rate  for  1927-28  is  .7  m.  on  the 
dollar,    which   will   raise   about   $48,812. 
This  is  a  raise  of  .Im.  on  the  tax  rate.

The  branch  at  Easton  which  was  closed 
some  time  ago  because  of  inadequate 
quarters  has  been  reopened  in  a  room 
rented  for  the  purpose.  Mrs  Sarah  L. 
Pilegard  has  been  appointed  custodian  and 
the  work  is  going  forward  nicely.  The 
people  of  that  locality  have  been  without 
library  privileges  long  enough  to  appre- 
ciate them  thoroughly  now  that  they  have 
them  again.  The  Dickey  Branch  has 
been  moved  from  the  club  house  of  the 
Dickey  Playground  to  a  rented  room 
further  out  on  the  same  street.  This  has 
been  fitted  up  attractively  and  is  much 
better  suited  for  our  purposes  than  the 
old  location.  We  find  that  the  adults  do 
not  use  a  playground  branch  as  much  as 
they  will  one  outside. 

Miss  Roberta  Meredith,  for  seven  years 
Head  of  the  Loan  Desk  has  resigned  to 
take  charge  of  the  University  Branch  of 
the  Seattle  Public  Library.  Miss  Frances 
Mathis,  who  has  been  Head  of  the  Catalog 
Department  for  eight  yeai'S,  has  also  re- 
signed to  become  librarian  of  a  Junior 
High  School  Library  in  Los  Angeles.  We 
are  sorry  to  lose  both  of  these  assistants, 
as  they  have  done  fine  work  in  their  de- 
partments and  have  been  valued  members 
of  the  staff  personally. 

There  has  been  an  epidemic  of  mar- 
riages in  the  staff  lately,  Miss  Lois  Mos- 
grove,  assistant  in  the  Children's  Room, 
Miss  Virginia  Wright  of  the  Loan  Desk 
and  Miss  Emily  Heath  of  the  Repair  De- 
partment having  been  married.  The  two 
former  have  left  the  library,  but  Miss 
Heath  will  continue  her  work  for  the 
present. 

Miss  Evelyn  Ross,  formerly  in  charge 
of  the  children's  work  in  the  South 
Branch  of  the  Brooklyn  Library,  has  been 
appointed  Children's  Librarian  in  place  of 
Miss  Anne  Hurlbut.  Miss  Hurlbut  re- 
signed to  take  a  position  at  Berea  College. 

The  library  had  its  booth  at  the  Dis- 
trict Fair  this  year  as  usual.  The 
Branch  Department  had  it  in  charge  and 
planned  and  carried  out  their  ideas,  mak- 
ing one  of  the  most  attractive  displays  we 
have  ever  had.  The  work  with  the  chil- 
dren was  emphasized  and  the  booth  was 
decorated  to  attract  them.  A  house 
covered  with  book  jackets,  the  library  sign 
fastened  on  the  front,  vied  in  popularity

with  the  small  tables  at  which  were  seated 
dolls,  reading.  A  frieze  of  Mother  Goose 
posters  was  put  at  the  top  of  the  walls 
and  long  narrow  posters  illustrating  the 
adventures  of  Toppelty  Tilts  were  used 
on  the  walls.  An  excellent  collection  of 
children's  books  was  placed  on  shelves 
within  easy  reach  and  lists  of  books  suit- 
able for  the  grades  from  the  third  to  the 
eighth  were  given  out.  A  very  large  num- 
ber of  children  visited  the  booth  as  well 
as  the  older  people.  We  have  been  asked 
to  send  the  display  to  the  Caruthers  Fair 
in  October  and  we  will  send  at  least  a 
part  of  it. 

The  School  Department  has  had  a  busy 
time  since  the  county  schools  opened. 
There  have  been  over  9600  books  sent 
out  as  well  as  maps,  globes,  records,  etc. 
The  teachers  have  learned  to  come  to  the 
library  to  select  their  books  and  over 
.300  teacher  visits  have  been  made  to  the 
department  since  the  first  of  September. 

The  tax  rate  for  1927-28  is  .8  m.  on  the 
dollar,  which  will  raise  about  $116,.598.

The  library  class  started  the  term  v^ith 
four  new  members  enrolled,  namely :  Ber- 
nice  Stine,  Lucile  Witten,  Doroth  Milnes, 
and  Lela  Milnes.  Splendid  cooperation 
has  been  shown  in  the  library  this  year. 

The  library  circulation  reached  a  total 
of  557  books  during  the  first  three  weeks 
divided  among  the  different  classes  thus : 
general  work  2 ;  philosophy  0 ;  religion  0 ; 
sociology  22 ;  language  42 ;  science  46 ; 
usefxil  arts  74  ;  fine  arts  3  ;  literature  51 ;

2,  and  magazines  220.  This  is  a  fairly 
good  report  for  the  beginning  of  the  school 
year.  We  expect  the  use  of  books  to  in- 
crease rapidly  now  that  the  classes  have 
settled  down  and  started  to  do  reference 
work. 

112  new  books  have  been  added  to  the 
library  this  month,  85  by  purchase  and 
27  as  gifts.  Most  of  these  books  are  in 
science.  Our  science  department  is  the 
most  up-to-date  in  the  county.  We  now 
have  a  better  chemistry  reference  shelf 
than  the  county  library  itself.  Due  to 
the  crowded  condition  of  our  library  these 
books  have  been  moved  to  Mr  Masten's

QUAETERLY  NEWS  ITEMS. 

The  County  Library  now  occupies  the 
entire  building  in  which  we  have  had  our 
quarters  for  a  number  of  years.  The 
quarters  formerly  occupied  by  the  welfare 
department  were  taken  over  by  us  in 
August.  We  now  have  one  whole  room 
for  the  school  department  and  we  also 
boast  a  catalog  room.  With  shelving  to 
the  ceiling  all  over  the  building  we  are 
taking  care  of  our  work  fairly  com- 
fortably. 

During  the  summer  months  there  have 
been  the  usual  changes  with  help  inci- 
dent to  the  season.  We  are  now  settled 
to  normal  conditions  with  Harold  Hunter, 
a  student  at  the  State  Teachers  College, 
doing  our  janitor  work.  Clarence  Mose- 
ley,  a  part-time  student  at  the  High 
School,  does  our  packing,  shipping  and 
mending  and  repair  of  books.  During 
July  and  August  Miss  Marie  Cumming  of 
Ferndale,  this  county,  did  apprentice  work 
in  the  library.  She  has  now  entered  Stan- 
ford University  as  a  freshman. 

In  September  McKees  MUl  School  Dis- 
trict joined  the  County  Library.  There 
are  only  two  districts  in  the  county  that 
have  not  become  a  part  of  the  system. 

The  tax  rate  for  1927-28  is  .4  m.  on  the 
dollar,  which  will  raise  about  $15,000.

QUARTERLY   NEWS  ITEMS. 

In  August  the  Manzanar  Branch  was 
re-established,  with  Mrs  Desty  Brown  as 
custodian.  The  library  is  located  in  the 
small  front  room  of  the  Manzanar  Hall, 
and  will  be  open  once  a  week  on  Wednes- 
day evenings.  It  will  serve  a  small  farm- 
ing community  of  30  to  40  families,  and 
since  they  rather  lack  facilities  and  oppor- 
tunity for  getting  together  generally,  it 
occurred  to  Mrs  Brown  to  have  an  "open- 
ing" for  the  little  branch.  In  the  large 
room  of  the  hall,  which  is  used  as  a 
packing  house,  some  of  the  equipment  was 
moved  back,  and  the  apple  boxes  were 
piled  up  as  a  partition,  maliing  space  for 
quite  a  company.  Everyone  was  invited 
to  come  and  spend  a  social  evening,  start- 
ing early  to  get'  acquainted  with  the 
library. 

It  was  a  family  affair ;  the  little  babies 
were  parked  outside  in  the  cars,  and  the 
small  boys  and  gii'ls  turned  to  on  the 
library  with  enthusiasm.  The  custodian 
ran  out  of  borrowers'  applications  and  not 
quite  out  of  books,  before  the  youngsters 
and  their  elders  were  satisfied.    "Eats"  of 


INYO  CO.— Continued. 

a  delicious  home-grown  variety  were 
served  by  a  group  of  the  neighborhood 
women,  and  at  the  end  of  the  evening  the 
County  Librarian  spoke  briefly  on  the  re- 
sources and  purposes  of  the  library. 
Whether  or  not  the  branch  continues  to  be 
so  fully  patronized,  certainly  all  of  Man- 
zanar knows  that  it  is  there. 

The  tax  rate  for  1927-28  is  .5  m.  on  the

were  established. 

The  Lancaster  Branch  building  was 
built  and  is  owned  jointly  by  Los  Angeles 
Co.  Free  Library  and  the  Justice  Court 
of  Lancaster.  The  Compton  Branch 
building  was  built  by  a  $10,000  bond  issue 
voted  by  the  citizens  of  Compton  ;  it  was 
furnished  by  the  County  Free  Library. 

During  the  year  the  Los  Angeles 
Public  Library  School  announced  its  dis- 
continuance of  giving  any  special  atten- 
tion to  county  library  work,  and  the  usual 
visits  of  the  training  class  to  the  County 
Library  were  not  made  this  year.

the  reference  feature  of  requests  coming 
from  branches  and  individuals  all  over 
the  county  and  the  librarian  will  also 
direct  the  work  done  over  the  circulating 
desk  at  the  Central  Library,  the  greater 
part  of  which  is  for  teachers  and  county 
employees.  Miss  Olive  Ryder,  a  graduate 
of  the  Pratt  Library  School,  has  been 
appointed  Acting  Reference  Librarian 
pending  examination. 

At  the  July  monthly  staff  meeting, 
Miss  Eleanor  Stephens,  Assistant  Libra- 
rian, gave  a  very  interesting  report  of 
her  attendance  at  the  annual  meetings 
of  C.  L.  A.  and  A.  L.  A.  On  the  same 
occasion  Miss  Ann  Johnson,  sister  of 
Jeanne  Johnson,  Head  of  the  Catalog 
Department,  gave  in  a  most  delightful 
way  a  brief  survey  of  her  trip  with  the 
much  talked-of  "floating  university" 
which  went  around  the  world  last  year. 
Miss  Johnson  was  a  member  of  the 
faculty  and  taught  Spanish. 

"Books  and  Notes"  completed  its  first 
volume  in  July,  and  the  fifteen  years' 
history  story  of  the  library  will  be  in- 
cluded in  No.  I,  Vol.  II.  It  has  been 
found  that  the  library  has,  in  this  period 
of  time,  delivered  over  62.5,000  volumes 
to  community  branches  and  that  the  total 
issue  of  books  for  home  use  has  been 
11,431,886. 

On  May  17,  Claremont  voted  favor- 
ably on  a  $25,000  bond  issue  for  a  library 
building.  The  lot  had  already  been  given 
by  a  public  spirited  citizen.  The  branch 
library  at  Hermosa  Beach  has  exchanged 
quarters  with  the  chamber  of  commerce 
and  has  thereby  doubled  its  floor  space. 
This  branch  is  very  attractively  located 
on  a  city  pier. 

On  May  18,  a  second  group  of  branch 
librarians  representing  the  middle  size 
branches,  was  called  together  for  a  con- 
ference at  the  Main  Ofiice.  There  were 
38  in  attendance  and  they  came  from 
small  towns,  industrial  centers,  ranch 
homes,  lonely  canyons  and  desert  places. 
The  principal  topic  was  the  subject  of 
suitable  books  for  boys  and  girls  and 
ways  of  using  the  stock  provided  in 
branch  libraries.  Miss  Claire  Nolte,  who 
has  been  appointed  supervisor  of  work 
with  children,  spoke  on  "The  Child  and 
the  Book."  Miss  Nolte  illustrated  char- 
acter   building    books    by    quoting    most

It  was  an  enthusiastic  group  and  a  former 
Wisconsiner  compared  the  meeting  most 
favorably  with  even  larger  gatherings. 

The  tax  rate  for  1927-28  is  .3  m.  on  the

May,  1927. 

Book  talks  were  given  in  the  schools, 
at  various  women's  clubs  and  the  P.  T.  A. 
groups.  The  eighth,  grades  were  given 
instruction  in  the  use  of  the  catalog  and 
library. 


QTJAHTEELY   NEWS   ITEMS. 

September,  with  its  rush  of  new  school 
work,  the  closing  exercises  of  the  Vaca- 
tion Reading  Club  and  the  numerous 
reading  and  study  lists  to  be  prepared  for 
large  clubs  and  individual  groups,  kept 
the  staff  so  busy  that  items  for  News 
Notes  were  neglected. 

The  idea  for  the  Vacation  Reading  Club 
this  year  was  Journeys  in  Bookland,  and 
printed  lists  were  used  as  tickets,  from 
which  travellers  might  choose  their  routes. 
Fiction  counted  10  miles,  non-fiction  15, 
and  there  were  three  classes  of  tickets, 
one  for  the  smallest  children,  one  for  the 
middle-sized,  and  one  for  the  boys  and 
girls  of  the  seventh  and  eighth  grades 
and  high  school.  A  conductor's  punch 
was  kept  at  the  desk,  and  each  traveller 
punched  the  title  read. 

Those  who  made  "side-trips"  through 
books  not  on  the  list,  but  worthy  to  be 
there,  had  the  titles  typed  on  the  back  of 
their  tickets  and  were  given  credit  for  the 
proper  number  of  miles.  This  kept  read- 
ers from  being  too  limited  in  choice. 

One  hundred  miles  was  the  minimum 
for  the  youngest  group,  called  third  class, 
120  for  the  second  and  140  for  the  first. 


LOS  ANGELES  CO.— Continued. 
Alhambra — Continued. 

The  maximum  mileage  was  210,  made  by 
a  girl  just  entering  high  school,  and  the 
second  best  was  an  eighth-grade  boy 
whose  mileage  was  185. 

The  club  opened  for  registration  on  the 
1st  of  July  and  closed  October  1st,  with 
a  "literary"  party  and  story-hour  for  the 
holders  of  third-class  tickets,  all  small 
travellers  being  invited,  whether  winners 
of  diplomas  or  not.  28  were  entered  in 
this  class  and  only  7  i-eceived  diplomas. 
In  the  second  class  21  finished  the  re- 
quired mileage,  and  in  the  first,  14.  The 
total  registration  for  the  club  was  276. 

Diplomas  were  presented  to  the  other 
groups  on  the  8th  and  15th  of  October, 
with  games  planned  to  test  the  readers' 
knowledge  of  books  and  authors,  followed 
by  a  story-hour. 

The  library  welcomes  the  return  of 
Miss  Feme  McCleery,  assistant  librarian, 
who  has  been  away  in  Europe,  on  a  six 
months'  leave  of  absence,  since  last  April. 
New  members  of  the  staff  are  Mrs  Laura 
Oi'ouse  and  Miss  Lillian  Baker,  both  from 
New  York  City.  Miss  Jean  Thomson, 
children's  librarian  for  the  past  three 
years,  resigned  to  return  to  her  home  in 
Titusville,  Pennsylvania.

W.  H.  Kerr,  Pomona  College  Librarian, 
and  Mrs  Kerr  have  recently  announced 
their  resignation  from  the  faculty  of  the 
floating  university  "Aurania."  Mrs  Kerr 
had  been  appointed  Dean  of  Women  while 
Mr  Kerr  was  to  have  charge  of  the 
library.  Slow  registration  for  the  floating 
university  caused  delays  not  only  in  the 
sailing  date  but  also  in  definite  arrange- 
ments for  the  faculty.  In  view  of  these 
postponements,  Mr  and  Mrs  Kerr  decided 
to  remain  in  Claremont.  Mr  Kerr  is 
busy  completing  plans  for  the  library  of 
Scripps  College ;  the  Committee  on  Ad- 
missions for  the  new  college  is  claiming 
a  large  portion  of  Mrs  Kerr's  time.

on  the  Central  Library  site  and  the 
acquisition  of  branch  library  sites,  build- 
ings, furniture  and  equipment. 

Mr  Lee  Lawrie,  sculptor  for  the  Cen- 
tral Library  building,  visited  Los  Angeles 
in  September,  to  examine  the  carving  of 
the  exterior  sculpture  which  had  just 
been  completed. 

Plans  have  been  completed  for  opening 
to  the  public  October  1  the  new  Depart- 
ment of  Philosophy  and  Religion.  Miss 
Faith  E.  Smith,  formerly  with  the  Los 
Angeles  Public  Library,  but  who  has 
been  for  the  past  three  years  librarian  of 
the  Lange  Library  of  Education,  Univer- 
sity of  California,  Berkeley,  will  be  in 
charge.  In  thus  segregating  the  books  on 
philosophy  and  religion,  other  depart- 
ments wiU  naturally  be  affected.  The 
Reference  Department  will  hereafter  be 
known  as  the  History  Department,  and 
the  General  Literature  Department  will 
become  the  Literature  and  Philology 
Department. 

In  preparation  for  the  Municipal  Refer- 
ence. Department,  which  will  be  opened 
in  the  new  City  HaU  about  January  1, 
Miss  Josephine  B.  HoUingsworth,  for- 
merly first  assistant  in  the  Science  and 
Industry  Department,  has  been  given  an 
appointment  as  principal. 

Miss  Annabel  Learned,  who  has  been 
in  charge  of  the  deposit  stations  for 
some  years,  was  promoted  to  the  grade  of 
principal  July  1.  There  are  now  eighty 
of  these  stations  and  they  now  supply 
library  service  to  many  hospitals  through- 
out the  city. 

Upon  the  resignation  of  Mr  Wm.  A. 
Lindauer,  formerly  principal  of  the 
Accounting  Depai'tment,  the  appointment 
was  given  to  Mr  Robert  B.  Forsyth  to  fill 
the  vacancy. 

The  Library  Board  has  created  a  Pur- 
chasing Department,  and  promoted  Mr 
Bernard  P.  Grasshoff  to  the  grade  of 
principal,  to  take  charge  of  this  work. 

The  Board  of  Library  Commissioners 
has  authorized  the  forming  of  a  collection 
of  prints  containing  etchings,  lithographs 
and  mezzotints,  either  by  California  art- 
ists or  relating  to  California. 

The  Eagle  Rock  Branch  was  entirely 
rebuilt   and   enlarged,   and   was  formally

opened  on  July  25 ;  the  new  Wiishire 
Branch  was  completed  and  formally 
opened  on  the  evening  of  August  1. 

Two  of  the  smaller  branches  have  been 
moved  into  better  locations,  the  Los  Feliz 
Branch  on  Vermont  avenue,  and  the 
branch  in  Lankershim,  to  be  known  here- 
after as  the  "Sidney  Lanier  Branch." 
The  Atwater  Station  has  grown  to  such 
an  extent  that  it  will  be  moved  to  a  store 
building,  and  wiU  be  known  as  the  "Henry 
Adams  Branch." 

The  general  contract  for  the  erection 
of  a  new  Gardena  Branch  has  been 
awarded  ;  plans  for  a  new  Angeles  Mesa 
Branch  are  nearing  completion  by  the 
architect. 

Resignations  have  been  received  from 
Mrs  Ruth  M.  Moore  and  Mrs  Anne 
Voyer,  branch  principals.  On  September 
1.5,  Miss  E.  Marguerite  Eldridge  became 
principal  of  the  San  Pedro  Branch,  and 
Miss  Reba  Dwight  has  been  given  an 
appointment  as  principal  to  take  charge 
of  the  new  Robert  Louis  Stevenson 
Branch,  beginning  October  1.  Miss 
Eldridge  has  held  library  positions  in 
New  York  City,  East  Cleveland,  and 
Binghamton,  N.  Y.  Miss  Dwight,  who 
is  a  graduate  of  the  Los  Angeles  Library 
School,  has  since  been  connected  with  the 
HUo  Library,  Library  of  Hawaii,  and 
more  recently  with  McKee  &  Wentworth, 
representatives  of  the  Library  Bureau,

QUARTERLY'    NEWS    ITEMS. 

What's  in  the  Paper? 

I  do  not  believe  anyone  can  have  any 
conception  of  how  much  goes  into  the 
daily  paper  until  they  start  indexing  it 
and  filing  away  the  pictures,  cuts  and 
negatives  required  in  its  production. 
This  is  the  job  of  the  Library  Department 
of  the  Los  Angeles  Times.  It  is  an  inter- 
esting job  and  a  very  worthwhile  job, 
both  in  point  of  service  to  editorial  staff 
and  to  the  general  public  that  builds  good 
will  for  the  paper. 

A  typewritten  digest  is  now  made  by 
this  library  of  the  outstanding  facts  of 
every  story  in  the  paper.  This  means  in 
the  course  of  a  w^eek  the  extracting  of  the 
"who,  what,  where,  and  when"  of  around 
1800  stories  and  typewriting  it  in  concise 
English  on  master  cards  with  a  ditto  or 
copying  ribbon.  These  master  cards  are 
then  duplicated  as  many  times  as  there 
are  references  in  the  story.  For  every 
name  mentioned  a  white  card  is  made ; 
for  every  place  mentioned  a  salmon  card 
is  made ;  for  every  subject,  according  to 
a  subject  index  especially  prepared  for 
the  Times,  a  yellow  card  is  made.  These 
cards  are  filed  separately  in  the  who, 
what,  and  where  files. 

During  our  test  week  from  May  1  to 
May  7,  1796  master  digests  were  made, 
from  which  were  reproduced  on  the 
ditto  machine  1593  white  biographical 
cards,  418  salmon  geographical  cards,  and 
1399  yellow  subject  cards— a  total  of  3400

Los    Angeles — Continued. 

cards  filed  to  cover  the  stories  appearing 
in  one  week's  issue  of  the  paper. 

To  do  this  work  it  took  three  indexers 
121  hours  and  30  minutes  in  the  making 
of  the  master  digests,  and  a  boy  29  hours 
and  30  minutes  to  make  the  duplicate 
cards.  This,  of  course,  was  during  the 
first  week  of  establishing  the  new  system 
before  we  had  reached  our  maximum 
speed. 

In  addition  to  the  card  index,  the 
Times  Library  maintains  photogi'aph, 
negative,  clipping  and  cut  files  where  half 
column,  one  and  two  column  cuts  of 
important  people  are  saved,  thus  making 
a  saving  to  the  paper  of  many  dollars  in 
the  course  of  the  year.

Excavation  for  two  of  the  major  univer- 
sity buildings  to  go  up  on  the  new  campus 
is  now  in  progress.  They  are  the  library 
building  and  the  classroom  and  audi- 
torium. Contracts  for  their  construction 
were  recently  awarded  by  the  University 
of  California  regents  to  Bannister  and 
Gow.  The  two  buildings,  together  with 
the  plumbing,  electrical  and  boiler  equip- 
ment and  funnels,  will  cost  in  excess  of 
?1,900,000.  It  is  expected  that  they  will 
be  completed  for  the  opening  of  the  fall 
term  at  the  University  next  September. —

Just  before  school  closed  in  June,  one 
of  the  fourth  grade  teachers  caused  each 
of  her  class  to  write  a  letter  to  the  libra- 
rian, telling  the  books  most  enjoyed  from 
among  the  loans  to  the  school,  and  ex- 
pressing thanks  for  the  use  of  the  books. 
Each  of  these  letters  was  answered  by  a 
personal  letter,  inclosing  a  bookmark, 
and  inviting  further  use  of  the  library. 
Without  counting  those  who  had  library 
cards  already,  half  of  the  recipients  of 
these  letters  joined  the  library  and  have 
used  it. 

The  Vacation  Reading  Club  has  func- 
tioned very  successfully.  The  club  meet- 
ings, at  which  members  reviewed  books, 
presented  little  plays,  and  played  catalog 
games,  were  well  attended,  and  appa- 
rently beneficial.  The  diplomas  were 
presented  September  15. 

Miss  Ruth  Morgan  and  Miss  Effie 
Stewart  resigned  in  September,  the  first 
to  enter  Scripps  College,  the  second  to 
marry  Mr  Paul  Peters.  Miss  Lucy 
Bonnet,  Miss  Marjorie  Dicmas,  and  Miss 
Bertha  Potter  (Wisconsin  Library 
School;  Phoenix  High  School  Library 
assistant)  have  been  appointed  to  the

QUARTERLY    NEWS    ITEMS. 

At  one  of  our  earliest  faculty  meetings 
of  the  year,  the  librarians  displayed  to 
the  faculty  some  of  the  recent  additions 
to  the  library,  and  called  the  attention  of 
the  various  departments  to  our  growing 
picture  file.  This  file  was  started  two 
years  ago  and  has  been  built  up  from 
magazine  material  mostly,  mounted  on 
uniform  size  manila  tag.  It  is  in  con- 
stant use  by  the  history  department  now 
and  by  some  of  the  others,  and  the  rest 
of  the  teachers  are  becoming  acquainted 
with  it.  When  the  school  put  on  a 
"paper  drive"  last  spring,  the  students 
saw  to  it  that  we  got  all  the  pictures  from 
the  pile  that  we  wanted. 

During  the  summer  two  new  Library 
Bureau  tables  and  a  stack  were  bought 
for  the  library.  Eight  of  our  twelve 
tables  are  now  Library  Bureau.

Yesterday  the  librarian  and  her  first 
assistant  were  entertained  at  dinner  by 
the  Lions  Club.  A  beautiful  flag  was 
presented  to  the  librarian  for  the  flag- 
staff. The  gift  will  carry  on.  When  the 
flag  is  worn  it  will  be  replaced  by  a  new

QUARTEELT    ?;EWS   ITEMS. 

For  the  first  time  in  five  years  Napa 
County  held  a  County  Fair.  Mrs  Carrie 
Baade.  wife  of  the  Xapa  County  Farm 
Adviser,  put  on  a  most  successful  his- 
torical pageant  in  connection  with  the 
Fair.  Miss  Schultz,  first  assistant  in  the 
County  Library,  was  director  of  dancing 
in  the  pageant.  The  County  Library  built 
a  book-house  copied  after  that  designed 
by  Miss  Silverthbrn.  Unfortunately  we 
had  no  substitute  janitor  as  she  did  to  do 
the  work  for  us  and  though  we  shingled 
the  roof  ourselves  and  covered  the  sides 
with  house  lining  and  book  jackets  the 
frame  cost  us  $50.  However,  the  book- 
house  was  the  most  unique  display  at  the 
Fair  and  attracted  much  attention.  Inside 
^^'e  had  a  display  of  our  dolls  of  many 
lands,  a  Spanish  galleon  made  by  a  boy 
scout  from  a  county  library  book,  and 
also  children's  books.  A  large  map 
showing  our  school  and  community 
bi-anches  completed  our  display.  Six  hand 
made  rugs  of  different  types  and  a  selec- 
tion of  books  on  rug  making  were  dis- 
played by  the  County  Library  in  the  Farm 
Home  Demonstration  Booth.     The  walk-

Miss  Dills  and  Mvs  Worden  of  the  Solano 
County  Library  were  visitors  during  the 
Fair.  Miss  Muriel  Wright,  county  libra- 
rian from  Marin  County,  with  Mrs 
Steinmetz  of  the  Los  Angeles  Public  Li- 
brary, called  on  us  July  27.  We  visited 
several  County  Library  branches  and  the 
Library  at  the  Veterans'  Home  and  ended 
our  trip  with  tea  at  Stag's  Leap.

QUARTERLY    NEWS    ITEMS. 

Saeramentans  reveled  in  a  cool  summer 
and  as  a  consequence,  the  library  had  the 
busiest  vacation  period  in  its  history. 
Collections  of  books  were  sent  to  the 
Municipal  Camp,  Boy  Scouts  Camp  and 
Camp  Fire  Girls  Lodge.  Vacation  -privi- 
leges were  taken  advantage  of  as  never 
before.  "So  you  are  going  to  Paris,"  was 
interpreted  literally  by  the  boiTOwer,  and 
the  book  came  back  none  the  worse  for 
the  trip. 

It  was  decided  that  the  William  Land 
Branch,  located  in  the  school  by  that 
name,  would  serve  the  community  to 
better  advantage  if  moved  into  its  own 
quarters  farther  removed  from  the  Main 
Library.  It  was  closed  July  1.  The  cir- 
culation statistics  for  this  Branch  had  to

be  counted  as  a  loss,  and  still  our  figures 
mounted.  In  July  there  was  a  total  gain 
of  1274,  with  522  new  borrowers  regis- 
tered. In  August,  the  total  gain  was 
6513,  the  increase  for  the  Juvenile  De- 
partment alone  being  1343. 

Frances  Dutcher,  head  of  the  Circula- 
tion Department,  was  called  east  early  in 
July  by  the  fatal  illness  of  her  mother, 
and  will  not  return  to  the  Library. 

As  we  go  to  press,  the  tragic  news  has, 
been  received  of  the  death  of  Mrs  Olive 
Tremble,  the  Reference  Librarian,  who 
was  thrown  from  her  horse  on  October 
18,  never  regaining  consciousness.  Mrs 
Tremble  was  a  graduate  of  the  Wisconsin 
Library  School  and  before  coming  to 
Sacramento  had  a  year's  experience  in 
the  New  York  Public  Library.  Her  loss 
will  be  felt  keenly  by  the  community  and 
her  fellow  workers.

Barstow  held  by  the  school  supervisor 
for  the  desert  schools.  These  meetings  of

while  the  County  Librarian  was  in

A  systematic  effort  for  publicity  that 
will  actually  reach  our  own  people  has 
been  made  this  year.  This  has  been  done 
through  the  half  dozen  or  more  weekly 
newspapers  that  are  published  in  as  many 
different  localities  in  the  county.  "Li- 
brary Notes"  written  by  the  County  Li- 
brarian are  printed  at  irregular  intervals 
in  these  papers.  The  effort  is  to  create 
interest  in  the  local  branch  and  stimulate 
the  use  of  the  books  and  magazines  that 
are  there,  with  due  attention  of  course 
to  the  larger  resources  available  through 
the  branch.

.  It  is  rather  difficult  to  give  an  account 
of  our  library,  for  it  is  in  a  state  of 
upheaval.  The  school  has  undergone 
radical  changes,  and  consequently  our 
room  was  changed,  which  necessitated  a 
great  deal  of  work  and  which  is  barely 
started. 

I  have  undertaken  for  my  project  this 
year  the  recataloging.  Both  accessioning 
and  cataloging  have  been  started  at 
various  times  but  they  have  never  been 
completed,  so  until  those  two  are  finished 
there  will  be  little  else  to  report.  I  might 
add,  however,  that  we  have  obtained  a 
number  of  new  books,  through  our  Eng- 
lish and  History  departments,  which  have 
attracted  the  attention  of  the  majority  of 
pupils.

QUARTERLY    NEWS    ITEMS. 

We  are  to  open  our  library  at  the  Los 
Angeles  Main  Office,  November  14.  Miss 
Mar.iorie  Robertson,  who  has  been  assist- 
ant librarian  at  the  Head  Office  Library 
in  San  Francisco,  will  be  in  charge. 

This  Library  will  not  only  serve  the 
Los  Angeles  branches,  but  it  will  give  to 
the  180  branches  of  the  Bank  of  Italy 
located  in  the  Southern  Division  the 
same,  service  as  we  have  been  giving  from 
our  San  Francisco  Library.  Only  now 
the  service  will  be  much  prompter  and 
much  more  complete. 

The  collection  in  the  Los  Angeles  Li- 
brary will  be  in  some  respects  a  duplica- 
tion of  our  Library  here,  with  this  differ- 
ence, that  the  Head  Office  Library  will 
always  house  the  historical  material  and 
the  collection  of  bank  reports  and  direc- 
tories. 

The  staff  of  our  Southern  Division  is 
eagerly  awaiting  the  organizing  of  this 
library,  and  upon  my  recent  visit  to 
Los  Angeles  I  was  assured  that  a  most 
cordial  cooperation  would  be  given  Miss 
Robertson  in  all  her  undertakings. 

Miss  Isabel  Hooper  Jackson,  Univer- 
sity of  California  Library  School,  1926, 
will  take  Miss  Robertson's  place  as  assist-

NEWS    NOTES   OF    CALIFORNIA   LIBRARIES. 


[Oct.,  1927 


SAN    JOAQUIN    CO.— Continued. 

Lod  i — Continued. 

Preparations  for  book  week  were  made 
by  practically  all  of  the  students  in  their 
English  classes.  A  first  prize,  a  book  to 
be  selected  by  the  winner,  was  offered  by 
the  Faculty  Book  Club  to  the  student 
submitting  the  best  poem  or  essay  on 
books.  Horace  Plibbard  submitted  the 
prize  poem  "Books,"  a  very  charming 
piece  of  work,  and  it  might  be  interesting 
to  know  that  he  chose  a  book  on  aero- 
nautics. A  second  prize,  a  box  of  book 
plates,  was  awarded  to  Hugh  Steacy  for 
an  essay  on  "The  Part  Good  Books  Take 
in  World  Advancement."  Each  day  dur- 
ing the  week,  there  was  a  short  program 
comprising  stunts,  pantomimes  and  serious 
talks,  all  dealing  with  books  and  well 
known  book  characters. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  second  semester 
a  library  class  was  organized,  composed 
of  six  girls  and  one  boy.  Besides  their 
regular  assignments  and  duties,  they 
made  attractive  books  (original  problems) 
and  mended,  sewed  and  rebound  fifty-one 
books. 

The  week-end  of  the  Book  Fair  at 
the  Mark  Hopkins  Hotel  proved  to  be  an 
incentive  for  a  field  trip  to  the  Bay.  "We 
enjoyed  a  Saturday  of  inspiration,  rang- 
ing from  au  exhaustive  study  of  San 
Francisco  Public  Library  and  the  Book 
Fail",  Avith  its  delightful  program,  to  a 
dinner  at  the  Women's  City  Club.  Sun- 
day morning  afforded  us  an  excellent  op- 
portunity to  explore  the  library  at  the 
University  of  California. 

Perhaps  the  nicest  thing  to  happen  in 
connection  with  our  library  for  the  past 
year  was  an  exhibition  of  water  colors  by 
Miss  Lucille  Hinkle,  head  of  the  art  de- 
partment in  FuUerton  Junior  College  and 
High  School.  Through  the  kindness  of 
Miss  Hinkle  and  Miss  Harvey,  head  of 
our  English  department,  we  brought  the 
collection  from  Stanford  University, 
where  it  had  been  on  exhibition  for  the 
preceding  two  months.

During  the  month  of  September,  Miss 
Agnes  McGee  tendered  her  resignation,  to 
enter  newspaper  work  with  the  Stockton 
Daily  Independent.  A  handkerchief 
shower  was  given  her  by  the  members  of 
the  staff  at  an  informal  luncheon  held 
at  The  Wave.

of  the  library  staff,  has  returned  from  an 
extended  visit  through  Canada  and  the 
Eastern  States,  and  has  resumed  her 
work  at  the  library. 

The  Story-Telling  Class  of  the  College 
of  Pacific  has  assisted  in  several  programs 
at  the  Main  Library  and  the  Municipal 
Baths  Branch.  The  two  young  ladies  in 
charge  of  this  branch  are  members  of  the 
class.

By  the  will  of  the  late  Arlo  B.  Cross, 
the  Stockton  Free  Public  Library  was 
bequeathed  a  4  per  cent  .$1000  bond,  the 
income  from  which  is  to  be  used  to  pur- 
chase books,  periodicals  and  articles 
treating  of  health,  sickness,  sanitation, 
tuberculosis  and  personal  hygiene  in  a 
manner  suitable  to  the  understanding  of 
the  layman.  The  bulk  of  the  estate  is 
given  to  the  city  of  Stockton  for  the

QUARTERLY    NEWS    ITEMS. 

The  Campbell  Branch  of  the  Santa 
Clara  County  Library  is  now  giving  six 
additional  hours  of  library  service  a  week 
to  the  community.  The  Library  is  now 
open  Tuesday  evening,  and  from  noon  to 
4  on  Fridays  for  the  benefit  of  grammar 
and  high  school  students  who  come  in  on 
the  busses,  and  would  not  otherwise  be 
able  to  use  the  library.

Eighty-four  temporary  cards  were  taken 
out  last  summer  in  this  branch  by  can- 
nery workers.  One  family  paid  $8  in 
deposits  for  the  use  of  the  library.  Most 
of  the  borrowers,  however,  had  their  cards 
endorsed  by  guarantors.  Every  book 
taken  by  a  cannery  worker  was  promptly 
returned.  "The  Blue  Castle"  by  Mont- 
gomery, and  "A  Corner  in  William"  by 
Kilbourne  were  evidently  passed  from  girl 
to  girl  and  read  till  they  dropped  from 
their  covers.  The  workers  also  read  psy- 
chology, economies,  Edward  Bellamy, 
Conrad  and  Tagore.

QXJABTEELY  NEWS  ITEMS. 

Pondosa,  the  woods  town  of  the  Mc- 
Cloud  Lumber  Company  which  has  both 
school  and  community  branches  of  the 
County  Library,  was  being  moved  October 
21  when  the  Librarian  and  Miss  DeWitt 
paid  an  inspection  visit.  The  visit  doubt- 
less lacked  in  the  acquiring  of  formal  in- 
formation but  was  most  informing  as 
regards  conditions  of  living  in  a  lumber 
town. 

CecUville  to  which  the  State  Library 
Organizer  and  members  of  this  staif  paid 
an  unforgettable  visit  some  years  ago,  now 
has  a  road  and  is,  in  good  weather,  only 
about  sis  hours  from  the  county  seat. 

The  tax  rate  for  1927-28  is  .4  m.  on  the 
dollar,  which  will  raise  about  $8500.

QUAETERLY  NEWS  ITEMS. 

The  Solano  County  Library  is  now  a 
unit  in  school  service  since  the  Dover 
School  has  joined. 

During  the  quarter  Miss  Josephine 
Ramage  was  placed  on  the  staff  at  head- 
quarters to  take  the  place  of  Miss  Ber- 
nice  Hayes,  who  joined  the  Stanford  Uni- 
versity Library  Reference  Department. 

A  model,  miniature  in  form  and  elec- 
trically lighted,  was  placed  in  the  Solano 
County  booth  of  the  State  Fair,  repre- 
senting the  px'oposed  Solano  County 
Library  Building,  which  will  house  the 
Farm  Adviser,  Home  Demonstration 
Agent  and  the  Horticultural  Commis- 
sioner. Need  of  larger  and  permanent 
housing  has  been  agitated  for  several 
years,  and  the  model  drew  the  attention  of 
many  of  the  Solano  County  Supervisors, 
and  other  visitors  at  the  Fair.  The  in- 
terest in  a  new  building  was  further 
advanced  by  the  fact  that  the  Supervisors 
of  this  county  added  a  one  cent  tax  to  the 
county  rate  this  year  for  investigation 
purposes,  in  order  to  consult  architects 
and  to  obtain  ideas  for  the  best  archi- 
tectural form  suitable  for  housing  these 
offices.  A  small  contour  map  was  also 
placed  on  exhibition,  which  gave  a  graphic 
idea  of  the  widespread  service,  the  tiny 
little  schools  and  libraries  fascinating  the 
children  who  visited  the  booth  as  well  as 
the  grownups. 

The  County  Library  is  directing  the 
department  of  art  in  the  Suisun  Wednes- 
day Club.  Newspaper  publicity  has  been 
used  to  attract  attention  to  the  A.  L.  A. 
Reading  With  a  Purpose  series  of  outlines 
and  has  met  with  success  in  aiding  in  a 
number  of  adult  education  endeavors. 

The  County  Librarian  attended  the 
annual  meeting  of  the  California  Library 
Association  at  Gearhart  and  then  made  a 
hurried  trip  to  Alaska. 

Calls  from  Miss  Jean  Baird,  Miss  Mary 
Barmby  and  Mrs  Alice  G.  Whitbeck  have 
been  much  appreciated. 

Plans  are  being  consummated  to  enlarge 
the  Cordelia  Branch  and  to  open  a  new 
one  at  the  Annex — a  part  of  the  town  of 
Vallejo  that  is  outside  the  limits  of  the 
city  boundary. 

The  name  of  the  McBumey  Branch  has 
been  changed  to  Lock  Padden,  and  that 
of  Patten  Branch  to  P.  G.  E.  Branch.  Mrs

written  by  the  staff  or  by  some  of  our 
patrons  who  are  interested  in  the  library. 
This  has  stimulated  interest  among  the 
members  of  the  staff  and  has  been  instru- 
mental in  creating  a  call  for  books  not 
"best  sellers." 

The  last  two  high  schools  in  Sutter 
County  joined  the  county  library  this 
month.  They  are  Sutter  Union  and  East 
Nicolaus,  which  until  recently  has  been 
a  branch  of  Sutter  Union  High  School. 
At  an  assembly  held  at  the  Sutter  High 
School,  the  county  librarian  gave  a  talk 
on  the  relationship  existing  between  the 
school  and  library  under  this  system.  We 
are  proud  to  think  that  now  every  high 
school  as  well  as  every  elementary  school 
in  the  county  is  cooperating  with  the 
library. 

The  tax  rate  for  1927-28  is  .5  m.  on  the

QUARTERLY  NEWS  ITEMS. 

The  infantile  paralysis  epidemic  put  a 
crimp  in  the  circulation  of  the  books, 
from  which  the  library  is  slowly  recover- 
ing, but  the  opportunity  thus  gained  for 
"inside  work"  at  the  main  office  was  ap- 
preciated. 

The  staff  had  scarcely  settled  down  to 
routine  with  the  new  assistants  appointed 
in  June  when  one  was  abruptly  taken 
from  us.  Miss  Katheiine  Ebenhack  died 
in  August,  after  several  weeks  of  illness. 
Miss  Marie  Buszdicker  of  Manton  was 
appointed  to  fill  the  vacancy  September 
15. 

Most  of  the  schools  opened  late  but  a 
meeting  in  lieu  of  the  "local"  institute, 
which  was  to  be  held  during  the  institute 
in  Sacramento  in  October,  was  called  on 
the  Saturday  preceding  the  opening  of  the 
schools,  which  gave  the  librarian  an  op- 
portunity to  talk  to  all  of  the  teachers  and 
to  meet  those  who  are  new  in  the  county.

TEHAMA    CO.— Continued. 

Floyd  (a  joint  school  district),  which 
has  formerly  been  served  by  Glenn  County, 
is  being  served  by  Tehama  County  this 
year.  This  fills  the  gap  left  by  the  sus- 
pending of  Burr  District,  so  our  work 
will  not  be  increased. 

The  County  Fair,  scheduled  for  the 
latter  part  of  September,  was  not  held. 

The  tax  rate  for  1927-28  is  .3  m.  on  the 
dollar,  which  will  raise  about  $4800.

QUARTERLY  NEWS  ITEMS. 

Tourists  often  visit  the  Trinity  County 
Library,  and  their  favorable  comments  are 
always  a  joy  to  the  librarian,  but  until 
this  summer,  visits  from  library  workers 
have  been  very  few.  We  have  greatly 
enjoyed  Mrs  Henshall's  visits,  and  she 
was  our  first  visitor  this  summer.  Since 
then  we  have  seen  Mrs  Jackson,  a  branch 
librarian  from  Los  Angeles,  who  was 
touring  with  relatives.  This  was  a  joint 
surprise  and  while  the  visit  was  very 
brief,  it  was  brimful  of  information.  Then 
one  Saturday  evening  Miss  Anne  Bell 
Bailey,  Tehama  County  librarian,  spent 
a  few  minutes  with  us.  Mrs  Mary  Car- 
mody,  of  the  Mechanics  Library,  of  San 
Francisco,  visited  us  while  waiting  for 
transportation  to  Trinity  Alps  for  her 
vacation. 

Institute  week  was  very  busy  for  the 
library,  for  it  is  the  one  time  during  the 
ypar  when  the  teachers  have  opportunity 
to  visit  headquarters.  The  librarian  had 
a  chance  to  work  with  teachers  and  books, 
after  having  fully  explained  the  coopera- 
tion and  service  available  through  the 
County  Library. 

Following  to  some  extent  the  plan  out- 
lined by  Tehama  County  Library,  our  ex- 
hibit at  the  County  Fair  has  caused  a 
good  deal  of  comment.  Instead  of  the 
printed  signs,  however,  we  were  fortunate 
in  having  an  artist  paint  figures  showing 
home,  school,  business  man,  better  health 
(children  with  proper  things  to  eat), 
better  citizenship  (ballot  box,  showing 
both  woman  and  man),  girl  reading  "right 
book,"  and  education  (college  graduate 
with  the  "world"  and  his  diploma).  We 
will  gladly  loan  these  figures  at  any  time. 

A  schapirograph  has  been  added  to  the 
equipment  of  the  library,  and  we  hope  for 
closer  contact  with  our  custodians  and 
teachers  this  next  year. 

Mrs  Irl  Stedman  has  taken  charge  of 
the  branch  at  Hayfork,  and  is  a  really 
interested   custodian.      We   are   receiving

QUAEXERLY  NEWS  ITEilS. 

Mr  John  Brady,  custodian  of  Columbia 
Branch  since  the  library  was  started  in 
1917,  resigned  in  July.  Mrs  Grant,  the 
new  postmistress,  was  appointed  custo- 
dian and  the  library  was  moved  to  the 
new  postoffice. 

The  library  at  headquarters  has  had 
several  interesting  visitors  this  summer, 
drawn  here  by  the  historical  interest  of 
Sonora. 

An   instructor   from   the  L'niversity   of 


TUOLUMNE   CO.— Continued. 

Washington  came  in  for  material  about 
Mark  Twain  and  Bret  Harte.  Miss 
Elizabeth  Goss,  head  cataloger  of  the 
L^niversity  of  Minnesota,  was  in  Sonora 
for  several  weeks.  Her  father  was  one 
of  the  gold  seekers  in  1850  and  she  showed 
us  some  of  the  best  descriptive  letters  we 
have  ever  read  of  those  pioneer  times. 
Miss  Constance  Rourke,  author  of  "Trum- 
pets of  Jubilee"  made  us  a  delightful  visit. 
Her  search  was  for  material  on  the  early 
theatrical  troupes  which  toured  the  min- 
ing camps,  and  she  declared  that  she 
mined  much  literary  gold  on  our  trips  to 
Columbia,  Springfield,  Tuttletown  and 
Jackass  Hill. 

At  the  request  of  the  Board  of  Educa- 
tion, the  librarian  made  some  graded  home 
reading  lists  for  the  new  County  Manual. 
These  lists  will  also  be  run  off  separately 
at  the  printers  for  children's  book  marks. 

The  tax  rate  for  1927-28  is  .6  m.  on  the

to  the  library's  apportionment  of  twelve 
cents  to  be  used  for  the  purpose  of  con-

The  State  Library  registers  a  11 
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  wishes 
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

GREETINGS    FROiVI   THE 
PRESIDENT. 

To  the  California  Library  Association — 
Greetings : 

I  am  grateful  that  it  is  my  privilege 
to  be  closely  allied  with  the  endeavors  of 
your  library  year  and  I  extend  to  you  my 
best  \^-ishes. 

The  thought  which  fills  my  mind  since 
the  last  meeting,  when  the  program 
stressed  enthusiasm  for  books,  is  the 
importance  of  our  having  real  possession 
of  the  treasures  that  are  committed  to  our 
charge.  Gerald  Stanley  Lee  in  his  Lost 
Art  of  Reading  says,  "It  is  impossible 
to  like  any  one  thing  deeply  without  dis- 
covering a  hundred  other  things  to  like 
with  it.  One  is  infallibly  led  out.  If  one 
touches  the  universe  vitally  at  one  point 
all  the  rest  of  the  universe  flocks  to  it. 
It  is  the  way  a  universe  is  made."  It  is 
the  way  our  library  world  is  made.  The 
book  is  the  medium  of  a  peculiar  and 
vital  contact  with  people  whose  every 
interest  has  its  literature.  The  strength 
of  this  contact  depends  on  our  own  par-

ticipation  in  the  life  and  joy  derived  from 
boolis.  By  the  exchange  of  comment  and 
opinion  about  books  we,  in  the  library, 
have  a  unique  opportunity  to  cultivate 
taste  and  judgment  with  breadth  and 
sympathy.  Let  us  then  realize  how  large 
a  part  our  own  individual  reading  bears 
to  our  qualifications  as  librarians. 

I  suggest  that  our  reading  be  one  item 
against    which    we    check    our    personal 


progress  for  the  year.  "What  books  have 
I  read  which  have  made  me  happier, 
broader,  wiser,  and  a  greater  asset  to  my 
library"  ?

President.

STATE   FAIR   EXHIBITS. 

Contra  Costa  and  Solano  County  Free 
Libraries  had  exhibits  at  the  State  Fair 
at  Sacramento,  September  3-10,  1927, 
in  their  respective  county  booths. 

Contra  Costa  showed  its  108  distribut- 
ing points  on  a  large  map,  the  community 
branches  marked  with  blue  stars,  school 
branches  with  red  stars  and  the  branches 
for  Americanization  classes  with  the 
American  eagle.  In  the  booth  also, 
adjacent  to  the  map,  was  a  collection  of 
excellent  photographs  showing  the  hous- 
ing of  the  community  branches. 

Solano  County  Free  Library  showed  a 
miniature  model  of  a  proposed  building  to 
accommodate  the  county  library  head- 
quarters, the  farm  advisei',  horticultural 
commissioner,  home  demonstration  agent 
and  music  supervisor.     Also  a  small  but 


excellent  relief  map  dotted  with  tiny 
buildings  illustrated  the  distribution  of 
community  and  school  branches  through- 
out the  county. 

The  State  Library  secured  space  at  the 
north  end  of  the  main  exhibit  building 
for  the  large  electx-ically  lighted  sign 
that  had  been  used  at  the  Sesquicenten- 
nial  Exposition  in  Philadelphia  during 
1926.  This  sign,  18x48  feet,  shows  a 
map  of  California  at  one  end  with  the 
counties  giving  county  library  service 
painted  yellow.  Electric  lights  going  off 
and  on  indicate  county  library  headquar- 
ters, white  dots  show  branches  and  lines 
from  branches  to  county  headquarters 
and  from  headquarters  to  the  State  Li- 
brary indicate  routes  of  service. 

At  the  other  end  of  the  sign  is  a  map 
of  Sacramento  County  with  flashing  lights 
of  various  colors  to  indicate  the  different 
kinds  of  branches.  Between  these  two 
maps  are  concise  statistics  and  facts 
about  the  library  service  of  California, 
state,  county  and  city. 

The  State  Library  also  maintained  a 
booth  in  the  same  building,  with  two 
cases  of  fine  examples  of  printing  from 
California  presses,  a  general  collection  of 
books,  some  books  for  the  blind  and  a 
few  examples  of  reproductions  of  famous 
paintings  to  show  the  picture  service 
given  by  the  library. 


LIBRARY  CLUBS,  ETC. 


Under  this  heading  will  be  given 
accounts  of  meetings  of  the  various 
library  clubs  and  similar  organizations 
throughout  the  state.  News  items  of

CALIFORNIA    DEPARTMENT. 

EuDOEA  Gaboutte,  in  charge. 

The  California  Department  aims  to 
have  a  thoroughly  good  collection  of 
books  on  the  history  and  description, 
resouBces  and  industries  of  the  State,  as 
well  as  the  works  of  California  authors 
in  all  departments  of  literature.  These 
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  10,000  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. 

The  Cameron  family.  John  M.  Cam- 
eron, his  wife  Mary  (Orendorff)  Cam- 
eron, their  son  Thomas  Porter  Cameron 
and  his  wife  Cynthia  arrived  Overland, 
October,  1849.  John  M.  Cameron  with 
James  Rutledge  founded  the  town  of  New 
Salem,  Illinois,  in  1828,  and  built  the 
famous  saw  and  grist  mill  in  which  Abra- 
ham Lincoln  worked  for  some  time.  Anne 
Rutledge  was  a  relative  of  the  Camerons 
and  it  was  in  their  home  that  Mr  Lincoln 
met  her  while  boarding  with  the  family. 
When  Anne  Rutledge  passed  on  Mr  Cam- 
eron, who  was  a  minister,  officiated  at 
her  funeral. 

Mrs  Cameron  was  affectionately  called 
"Aunt  Polly"  by  the  great  emancipator 
and  in  a  letter  to  her  he  promises  to 
come  to  California  and  visit  her  as  soon 
as  he  is  through  being  President,  "just  as 
fast  as  these  long  legs  will  carry  me" — 
to  quote  from  the  letter.  California  re- 
grets that  he  did  not  live  to  keep  his 
promise. 

John  Cameron  and  his  family  settled  in 
Green  Valley,  Sonoma  County. 

The  above  facts  are  gleaned  from  the 
cards  filled  out  by  a  granddaughter  of 
Thomas    Porter    Cameron. 

Louis  Montgomery  Booth  arived  Sep- 
tember, 1849.  He  lived  for  many  years 
in  Stanislaus  County  where  he  died  in 
1892. 

Other  cards  received  are  those  of  John 
Hillhouse,  Sr.,  John  Hillhouse,  Jr.,  and 
Mr  and  Mrs  Joseph  Camillio  Steffani.

Home  Teaching. 

Kate  M.  Foley,  home  teacher  of  the 
blind,  is  at  the  Argyle  Apartmente,  146 
^McAllister  street,  San  Francisco,  every 
Thursday  from  9  a.m.  to  5  p.m.  Her 
telephone  number  is  Market  690.  She 
gives  lessons  regularly  in  the  bay  region 
and  the  Santa  Clara  Valley,  with  occa- 
sional trips  to  other  parts  of  the  state. 
Catharine  J.  Morrison,  home  teacher  of 
the  blind,  is  at  the  Los  Angeles  County 
Free  Library,  Broadway  Annex,  Hall  of 
Records,  every  Wednesday.  Her  home 
address  is  951  S.  Kenmore  ave.,  Los  An-

geles.  Her  telephone  number  is  Drexel 
5339.  She  gives  lessons  regularly  in  Los 
Angeles  and  vicinity  and  makes  occa- 
sional trips  to  San  Diego. 

From  July  1  to  October  31,  the  home 
teachers  gave  542  lessons  in  the  homes  of 
the  blind  and  31  lessons  at  libraries. 
They  made  131  visits  and  calls  in  con- 
nection with  the  work  for  purposes  other 
than  giving  lessons,  and  have  received  26 
visits  in  connection  with  the  work. 

During  the  quarter  Miss  Foley  and 
Miss  Morrison  spent  244  hours  on  corres- 
pondence and  preparing  lessons.  They 
wrote  388  letters  and  174  postals  and 
received  305  letters  and  45  postals.  They 
also  answered  and  made  544  telephone 
calls.  They  made  4  addresses.  Miss 
Foley  teaches  regularly  in  Oakland,  in 
Alameda  and  in  San  Francisco  classes  of 
seeing  people  to  write  Braille.  She  spent 
27  hours  in  proofreading  hand-copied 
books.  The  various  other  activities  in 
connection  with  the  work  of  the  home 
teachers  can  not  be  easily  tabulated. 

Home  Teaching    Report  for  San    Fran- 
cisco and   Vicinity 

July  1,  1926— Jitne  30,  1927 
During  the  past  twelve  months  the 
work  has  proceeded  as  in  other  years,  the 
service  widening  in  scope  and  increasing 
in  value,  enriched  with  the  wisdom  of 
fuller  experience. 

The  major  part  of  the  time  has  been 
given  to  the  blind  of  the  bay  region,  fre- 
quent trips  being  made  to  San  Mateo  and 
San  .Jose.  One  trip  was  made  to  Modesto 
and  Fresno,  and  two  to  Stockton.  I  have 
supplemented  the  lessons  given  in  these 
places  by  frequent  letters,  the  first  per- 
sonal visit  establishing  a  friendly  contact 
between  pupil  and  teacher  more  effectively 
than  years  of  correspondence.  The  num- 
ber of  correspondence  pupils  has  in- 
creased, and  I  am  now  helping  blind 
people  in  twenty-eight  counties  of  the 
State.  In  addition,  I  have  correspondence 
pupils  in  Washington,  Oregon,  Idaho, 
Arizona  and  South  Dakota,  as  these 
states  have  no  home  teachers  or  libraries 
for  the  blind.  I  feel  gratified  that  I  have 
been  able  to  teach  two  of  the  elderly  cor- 
respondence pupils  to  use  the  typewriter. 
This  takes  time,  as  the  exercises  and  in- 
structions must  be  written  out  in  Braille, 
but  it  proves  that  Samuel  Johnson   was 


right  when  he  said,  "nothing  is  impossible 
to  intelligence  and  skill."  Among  the 
correspondence  pupils  is  a  boy  of  twelve, 
an  invalid,  and  his  mother  helps  with  the 
lessons  I  send.  The  boy  writes  weekly 
letters  in  Braille  to  his  sister  who  lives 
at  a  distance,  thus  giving  him  practice 
in  composition  and  spelling. 

This  year  I  have  prepared  four  children 
to  enter  the  sc;hool  at  Berkeley,  and  the 
principal.  Dr.  R.  S.  French,  is  most  ap- 
preciative of  this  service.  One  of  the 
children  is  a  gii'l  of  fifteen  who,  until  I 
saw  her  last  December,  had  never  been 
to  school  and  could  not  spell  the  simplest 
words.  Her  progress  has  been  most  re- 
markable. She  is  now  in  the  third  reader, 
reads  and  writes  Braille  unusually  well, 
and  has  a  working  knowledge  of  simple 
arithmetic.  I  found  this  child  through 
the  efforts  of  one  of  the  school  nurses  of 
San  Mateo  County.  The  family  had  pre- 
viously refused  to  send  the  child  away  to 
school  as  some  oculist  had  assured  them 
he  could  restore  her  eyesight.  After  my 
first  visit,  permission  to  teach  the  child 
was  gladly  given,  and  regret  expressed 
that  the  family  had  not  known  of  the 
blind  instructor  before.  I  am  helping 
another  child  in  the  San  Mateo  County 
Hospital.  She  is  nine  years  old,  and  has 
a  very  rapid  heart  action,  so  can  not  be 
sent  to  school.  One  of  the  busy  nurses 
helps  the  little  girl  and  she  is  making 
fine  progress. 

I  am  still  looking  after  the  blind  baby. 
She  is  now  two  and  a  half  years  old,  and 
walks  and  talks  just  like  any  other 
normal  child.  I  find  her  a  very  interest- 
ing psychological  study. 

I  still  make  frequent  visits  to  the  sight 
conservation  class  in  San  Francisco, 
doing  all  I  can  to  extend  this  most  needed, 
but  little  known,  service.  I  spoke  on 
this  subject  at  the  conference  on  the 
handicapped  child  called  by  Mr  Will  C. 
Wood  last  September.  I  am  in  confer- 
ence with  other  cities  in  the  State  whose 
boards  of  education  hope  to  establish 
sight-saving  classes. 

I  still  spend  one  afternoon  each  week 
at  the  State  Industrial  Home  for  the 
Adult  Blind  in  Oakland,  where  I  teach 
reading,  Braille  writing,  typing  and 
spelling.  I  also  select  books  for  many 
of  the  men  and  women,  do  shopping  for 
them,    and    help    in    many    other    ways.

NEWS    NOTES   OE    CALIFORNIA   LIBRARIES. 


[Oct.,  1927 


The  Superintendent,  Mr  Douglas  Keith, 
is  very  cordial,  and  I  am  sure  appreciates 
this  branch  of  the  service. 

I  make  frequent  visits  to  the  San  Fran- 
cisco Relief  Home,  select  books  for  the 
blind  inmates,  interest  outsiders  in  their 
welfare  and  do  everything  possible  to 
brighten  their  lives  and  broaden  their 
outlook.  I  recently  found  there  a  deaf- 
blind  woman  forty-four  years  old,  deaf 
from  childhood,  but  blind  only  twelve 
years.  I  hope  to  teach  her  the  Moon 
type,  and  as  I  know  the  manual  alphabet, 
it  will  be  easier  to  help  her.  One  of  the 
men,  an  old  sailor  past  sixty,  crochets 
beanies  for  the  tubercular  men  at  Liver- 
more.  The  wool  is  furnished  by  Mrs 
Emelie  Sussman,  and  the  man  is  glad  to 
be  able  to  do  something  for  those  less  foi-- 
tunate  than  himself. 

The  radio  is  a  great  help  in  readjusting 
the  blind  adult,  and  I  sometimes  wonder 
how  we  ever  got  on  without  its  curative 
ministrations.  Many  of  the  pupils  read 
while  listening  to  the  programs,  and  their 
lives  are  ordered  by  the  schedule  of  their 
favorite  broadcasting  station,  and  I 
always  apologize  when  I  find  it  necessary 
to  give  a  lesson  during  a  baseball  game. 

I  trained  a  class  of  five  Braille  tran- 
scribers for  the  San  Joaquin  Chapter  of 
the  American  Red  Cross  at  Stockton.  I 
gave  two  oral  lessons,  and  continued  the 
work  by  correspondence.  Through  the 
transcribing  of  Braille,  the  class  became 
interested  in  the  blind  of  Stockton  and 
vicinity,  and  much  good  has  resulted. 

I  trained  the  seventh  class  of  transcrib- 
ers for  the  San  Francisco  Chapter  of  the 
Red  Cross.  This  class  was  made  up  of 
members  of  the  San  Francisco  Council  of 
Jewish  Women.  Most  of  the  books  tran- 
scribed here  go  to  the  State  Library,  and 
this  stimulates  the  interest  of  the  women, 
who  are  eager  to  increase  the  literature 
for  the  blind  of  their  own  State. 

The  service  of  our  Women  Volunteers 
of  Oakland,  California,  has  never  abated, 
and  this  is  now  their  eighth  year  in  this 
field.  They  still  continue  to  furnish 
weekly  news  budgets  to  our  deaf-blind. 
One  of  these  wonderful  women  tran- 
scribed a  book  on  business  English  for  a 
blind  dictaphone  operator  who  was  taking 
one  of  the  University  Extension  courses. 
We  have  other  volunteers  in  San  Fran- 
cisco,   Oakland    and    Berkeley    who    do 


splendid  work,  transcribing  special 
articles,  poems  and  stories.  One  woman 
sends  several  pages  of  Braille  to  the  blind 
prisoner  at  San  Quentin,  and  he  always 
knows  on  what  day  to  expect  it. 

Miss  Estelle  Miller  of  Los  Angeles,  a 
talented  blind  woman,  proof  reads  much 
of  the  work  of  the  volunteers.  This  is  a 
valuable  contribution  to  the  service,  as 
it  requires  unlimited  time,  patience,  tact 
and  skill.  This  is  her  contribution  to  the 
blind  of  her  State. 

I  have  a  very  long  list  of  acknowledg- 
ments this  year,  showing  an  increased 
interest  and  fuller  understanding  of  the 
needs  of  the  blind,  and  a  desire  to  add  to 
their  comfort.  I  take  great  pleasure, 
therefore,  in  extending  a  word  of  appre- 
ciation to  the  following  organizations  and 
individuals : 

To  the  Widows  Pension  Bureau  of 
San  Francisco  for  its  continued  courteous 
treatment  of  the  blind,  and  its  fair  and 
humane  administration  of  aid.  To  the 
San  Francisco  Council  of  Jewish  Women 
for  providing  volunteer  readers  for  the 
blind  shutins,  and  furnishing  entertain- 
ment to  groups  of  blind  people.  To  the 
San  Francisco  Optimist  Club  for  pro- 
viding crystal  radio  sets  upon  request, 
and  sending  Christmas  cheer  to  fifteen 
blind  shutins.  To  the  members  of  the 
Denman  Alumnae  for  contributing  clothes 
and  pieces  of  cotton  and  wool  to  our 
blind  men  and  women  who  are  making 
hook  rugs  and  crocheting  mats  of  old 
silk  stockings.  To  the  Fresno  County 
Library  for  its  many  courtesies  and  the 
use  of  its  automobile.  ,  The  County  Li- 
braries of  Santa  Clara  and  San  Joaquin 
are  also  deserving  of  mention  in  this  list. 
To  Mrs  Emelie  Sussman  for  her  con- 
tinued acts  of  kindness,  especially  in  look- 
ing after  the  needs  of  four  blind  men 
who  keep  house  together,  and  her  gen- 
erous provision  for  a  number  of  our  in- 
valids. To  Mr  Edgar  F.  Bissinger  for 
his  gift  of  a  fine  vlctrola  and  splendid 
records  to  the  blind  men  at  the  Relief 
Home.  To  Miss  Louise  De  Voe  Brickell 
for  her  donation  of  a  beautiful  Ansonia 
clock  to  the  blind  men's  ward  at  the 
Relief  Home. 

I  wish  especially  to  acknowledge  the 
monetary  help  received  from  a  very 
generous  man  who  does  not  wish  his 
name  given.     He  provides  many  comforts 


vol.  22,  no.  4] 


CALIFORNIA   STATE   LIBRARY.

for  a  number  of  invalids,  and  through 
his  generosity  I  am  able  to  meet  emer- 
gencies that  are  sure  to  arise  in  a  work 
whose  nature  is  so  largely  social  service. 
In  conclusion,  I  wish  to  say  an  appre- 
ciative word  to  all  who  have  contributed 
in  any  way  toward  the  comfort  and  well- 
being  of  the  blind,  whether  in  institutions 
or  private  homes,  at  the  holiday  season  or 
throughout  the  year.  Their  interest  and 
cooperation  have  lightened  my  labor, 
gladdened  my  heart,  and  given  me  re- 
newed courage  to  go  forward  in  the 
service  of  the  people  I  love.

Home  Teaching  Report  for  Los  Angeles 
and  Vicinity 

July  1,  1926— June  30,  1927 
A  report  of  another  year's  work  of 
Home  Teaching  for  the  Blind  must  of 
necessity  be  similar  to  those  which  have 
gone  before,  and  yet  with  each  year 
come  new  and  encouraging  evidences  of 
growth,  and  also  individual  accomplish- 
ment on  the  part  of  blind  people. 

The  same  territory  has  been  covered 
as  in  previous  years,  except  that  two  new 
towns,  Owensmouth  and  Van  Nuys,  have 
been    visited,    and    more    frequent    trips 


made  to  certain  places  according  to  the 
number  and  need  of  the  pupils.  San 
Diego  has  been  visited  twice  this  year, 
in  September  and  March,  and  these  visits 
have  resulted  in  a  few  new  readers.  The 
calls  there  upon  the  borrowers,  as  in 
the  case  of  all  calls  made  upon  readers, 
are  designed  to  be  as  helpfid  as  possible, 
by  aiding  in  the  selection  of  books,  by 
encouraging  the  continuance  of  the  read- 
ing, and  by  bringing  about  a  better  under- 
standing of  library  service. 

During  the  year  an  average  of  eight 
pupils  has  begun  work  each  month,  the 
majority  of  whom  have  become  good 
readers,  or  are  on  the  way.  The  larger 
number  of  these  pupils  continue  to  be 
elderly  people,  and  their  progress  is, 
therefore,  necessarily  slow ;  but  in  a 
few  instances  the  touch  reading  has  been 
acquired  in  a  remarkably  short  time.  A 
number  of  Moon  pupils  have  learned  the 
BraiUe  this  year,  one  pupU  learning  both 
types  easUy  within  the  year. 

The  publication  of  two  new  current 
event  magazines  in  the  Braille  is  an  in- 
ducement to  many  to  learn  the  type.  One 
of  these  magazines.  The  Braille  Mirror,  is 
printed  in  Los  Angeles  at  the  Universal 
Braille  Press.  This  press  has  published 
several  books,  and  the  monthly  Christian 
Science  Bible  Lessons  are  now  available 
to  readers  through  its  activity.  The 
American  Brotherhood  of  Free  Reading 
Matter  for  the  Blind  is  at  work  upon  a 
series  of  nature  books  which  are  most 
acceptable  to  readers. 

The  Los  Angeles  Red  Cross  has  a 
Braille  Chapter  at  work,  and  a  lady  in 
the  city  is  learning  to  become  an  inde- 
pendent transcriber,  while  another  con- 
tinues her  excellent  work  begun  two 
years  ago.  The  Braille  Chapter  of  the 
Pasadena  Red  Cross  is  working,  too,  and 
The  Braille  Bible  Society  of  Los  Angeles, 
whose  object  is  the  publication  and  dis- 
tribution of  the  Bible  in  the  Revised 
BraUle,  is  working  toward  the  accom- 
plishment of  this  end. 

The  Home  Teacher  has  kept  in  touch 
with  the  activities  of  the  three  BraiUe 
clubs  of  Southern  California.  The  Pasa- 
dena club  continues  the  transcribing  and 
circulating,  through  the  State  Library, 
of  readable  short  stories.  The  San  Diego 
club  has  issued  and  circulated  through 
its  members  a  business  directory  of  those 


486 


NEWS   NOTES    OF    CALIFORNIA   LIBRARIES. 


[Oct.,  1927 


in  the  club  who  are  engaged  in  any  line 
of  work,  and  is  also  maintaining  a  tele- 
phone for  one  of  its  members.  The  Los 
Angeles  club  has  helped  in  the  mainte- 
nance of  a  radio  for  one  of  its  members, 
and  has  helped  a  blind  singer  by  paying 
for  musical  services  rendered  at  the  meet- 
ings. These  clubs  continue  to  be  a  vital 
part  of  our  work,  for  through  them  it  is 
possible  to  bring  many  blind  people  to- 
gether and  thereby  exchange  ideas  in 
regard  to  the  welfare  of  the  blind. 

The  room  for  the  blind  in  the  new  City 
Library,  which  was  mentioned  in  last 
year's  report,  was  opened  in  October. 
Besides  aifording  a  reading  room  where 
blind  people  may  come  to  read  at  any 
time  during  the  week,  every  Saturday 
afternoon  has  been  devoted  to  loud  read- 
ing. Through  the  untiring  efforts  of  Mr 
Geo.  E.  Chase,  who  is  in  charge  of  the 
Braille  Section  at  the  Public  Library, 
these  readings  have  grown  both  in  num- 
bers and  enjoyment,  and  are  becoming  a 
factor  for  great  good.  The  volunteer 
readers  are  most  efficient  and  interested. 
Toward  the  close  of  the  year  Mr  Chase 
had  a  library  picnic  at  his  home. 

The  same  friendly  cooperation  with 
the  Los  Angeles  County  Charities  and 
the  Rehabilitation  Division  of  the  State 
Board  of  Education  has  continued.  Miss 
Kelsey,  the  teacher  of  hand  work  em- 
ployed by  the  Industrial  Home  for  Adult 
Blind,  has  worked  with  me  through  the 
year,  and  as  we  cover  very  much  the 
same  territory  we  can  be  of  mutual  bene- 
fit. Two  successful  sales  of  articles  made 
by  the  blind  were  held  at  Christmas  and 
Easter,  and  although  not  strictly  a  part 
of  library  work,  time  and  labor  was  given 
toward  making  them  a  success. 

Two  children  have  come  regularly  to 
the  library  for  lessons,  and  two  entered 
school  last  fall  after  some  instruction. 
Efforts  are  being  made  now  to  enter  a 
girl  this  fall.  It  has  been  and  always  will 
be  a  part  of  Home  Teaching  work  to  help 
blind  children  to  obtain  an  education,  for 
they  have  their  lives  before  them.  Lois 
Mason,  the  little  girl  at  the  General  Hos- 
pital, continues  to  read  the  BraiUe  slips. 
Arrangements  have  been  made  for  a 
young  blind  girl  to  read  to  her,  and  both 
girls    thoroughly    enjoy    the    reading   and 


the  contact.  The  General  Hospital 
shoAved  its  interest  and  cooperation  by 
allowing  the  reader  to  come  in  at  any 
time  convenient  to  her. 

Grateful  acknowledgment  is  again  due 
Miss  Vogleson  and  the  County  Library 
Staff  for  the  use  of  the  oflSce  for  the 
ninth  j^ear  of  our  work.  Also  to  Miss 
Jacobus  and  her  staff  at  the  Pomona  Li- 
brary for  their  cordial  interest  and  assist- 
ance in  our  work  there.  To  Mr  Geo.  E. 
Chase  of  the  Braille  Section  of  the  Los 
Angeles  Public  Library  for  his  untiring 
efforts  in  behalf  of  the  blind.  To  Miss 
Plaister  of  the  San  Diego  Library  for  her 
cooperation  there.  To  the  First  Metho- 
dist Church  of  Los  Angeles  and  the 
Y.  W.  C.  A.  of  Pasadena  for  donating 
rooms  for  the  meetings  of  the  Braille 
clubs.  We  have  occasion  to  feel  grate- 
ful every  year  to  Mrs  Edna  B.  Whitting- 
ham  for  her  continued  interest  in  the 
Christmas  fund,  and  to  Mr  Bullock  and 
Mr  Letts  for  their  donations  to  that  fund 
in  Mr  Aldritt's  memory. 

As  this  service  grows  in  years  its  use- 
fulness increases  as  well,  not  only  in  the 
numbers  reached,  but  in  its  ever  widen- 
ing opportunities  for  service  to  the  blind.
