EDUCATIONAL UNITY* 

By Walter L. Brown 
Librarian Buffalo Public Library 

The increasing practice of urging a large institutions 
number of citizens to analyze intelligently 
the city budget is bound to make, not only 
for economy but for the good of the mu- 
nicipal service. 

It will, without doubt, raise many ques- 
tions as to the need of the different appro- 
priations, as to whether each brings full 
value in return, and as to whether 
the same result might not be obtained by 
more economical means. It is well that 
such questions should be raised, as few 
years go by without placing in the city 
budget an appropriation for the establish- 
ment of some new and worthy means for 
the education or for the pleasure of its citi- 
zens. If this new venture proves success- 
ful, it remains a fixed, or more likely an 
increasing, charge for future years. 

We believe that there are few cities, if 
any, whose budget will not show economic 
waste in the conduct of schemes of this 
character, but we wish to call attention 
only to a single group made up of the items 
appropriated for educational institutions 
which are available for the use of adult 
residents. Many such appropriations go to

A. L. A. Council, Chicago, January 5th, 1912, 
and printed at request of the Council. 



or activities established by 
private societies, the management of which, 
together with their plants and collections, 
have been turned over wholly, or in part, 
to the ctiy for the use of the general pub- 
lic. These varied means of education, 
therefore, have not been established 
through the initiative of the city as a part 
of a definite plan, but have been brought 
about by the enthusiasm of some individual 
or some small group of citizens who real- 
ized a need in the city's social life. 

Each institution carries on its work, 
for the most part, in an independent way, 
without connection or affiliation with any 
other. The only thing in common with 
them all is that their support, or a part of 
it, comes from the city's treasury. This is 
not only quite apt, but almost certain to 
mean a considerable amount of waste 
through duplication of labor, waste of ma- 
terial and of administrative effort, to say 
nothing of the possible loss of influence 
and of force. 

Buffalo is, doubtless, in this respect a 
typical city. Appropriations are made an- 
nually in its budget for the support, or the 
partial support, of a public circulating li- 
brary and its branches, a reference library, 
night schools, a natural science museum. 



AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION BULLETIN 



an historical society, an art gallery, organ 
recitals In Its Convention Hall, band con- 
certs In its parks, a botanical garden and 
a zoological garden. It Is probably true in 
this group of educational schemes, as it is 
probably true of a like group in any city, 
that each Individual institution is active 
and progressive, finding that its work is 
growing and its field extending year after 
year and in constant need of larger ap- 
propriations. 

Such an Institution left by Itself becomes 
a working center, and when It finds new 
work, which needs to be done that is more 
or less akin to its own, it opens a new de- 
partment without knowing or inquiring as 
to whether that field is not already cared 
for. The board of control of each of these 
activities is a law unto itself so far as its 
field of work is concerned, and for the most 
part each does its work with little definite 
knowledge of what other boards are doing 
or planning. 

To continue to use Buffalo as an illustra- 
tion, three of its Institutions have lecture 
courses without any affiliation or coopera- 
tion; the circulating library is called upon 
to collect material for doing a large share 
of reference work, with the reference li- 
brary but a short distance away; the 
natural science museum collects, among 
other things, the implements and pottery 
of the Indian tribes which occupied the 
Niagara frontier, while another collection 
of the same material is being made by the 
historical society, and there are probably 
many more such duplications of work. 

We, of course, do not mean to say that 
any two of the institutions duplicate any 
great amount of effort, but the lines of 
their work do often cross, and each 
probably at times ignores the work of the 
other. 

In these days of organization and co- 
operation for the purpose of Increasing 
efficiency, It would seem that this lack of 
the spirit of getting together among educa- 
tional institutions was behind the times, 
and that we who are interested In them 
were culpable In allowing this condition to 
exist. I think that we all know that it 



does exist to a greater or less extent in 
most cities. So far as our own work is con- 
cerned, we could all cite public libraries, 
even if It be not true of our own, which 
devote a part of their appropriation for 
most worthy educational effort that is 
rather far from their designated work of 
collecting books and placing them in the 
hands of readers. It Is probably true that 
much of this work that lies outside of the 
definite purposes of the public library 
would be put upon other existing Institu- 
tions In the city if such institutions 
happened to exist as departments of the 
library, or if all were definite parts of 
a single institution. 

It is difficult to bring about a closer 
cooperation with the present lack of any 
central authority to exercise control. We 
believe that the time has come to ask at 
least if some means to this end cannot 
be found, so far as it concerns the various 
institutions which receive support from 
the municipalities. It might, perhaps, be 
brought about through the forming of an 
educational commission, which should at 
least advise the scope and direction of the 
efforts of such institutions. Such a com- 
mission might be made up of representa- 
tives from the governing boards of the 
different institutions, or the executive 
officers, or of both, and in addition to 
formulating the lines of work, it might be 
a clearing house of suggestions for co- 
operation and extension. 

We believe that such a body might, per- 
haps, formulate plans for some systematic 
work by correlating the advantages offered 
by the different institutions in such a way 
that the whole might be very effective. 
You can readily see, for example, that 
definitely educational courses might be de- 
vised by using them in this way; the li- 
braries might supply the books, the science 
and art museums their lectures and collec- 
tions for study; the music, botanical gar- 
dens and other institutions might also be 
utilized In this way, making the whole 
something like a people's university in a 
broader sense than we think this phrase 
has been used. 



AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION BULLETIN 



ft 



Some systematic work of this kind need 
not interfere in any way with the general 
work now carried on by the different in- 
stitutions, and such possible definite 
courses would appeal to a large number of 
our readers who need guidance and help, 
the want of which it is now difficult to 
make known, and, perhaps, quite as dif- 
ficult adequately to provide for. 

We believe that work of this kind would 
appeal to many of us who often question 
how much of the seed now sown broad- 
cast and at random ever falls upon fruitful 
ground. 

In introducing this topic for discussion 
by the Council of the American Library 
Association, unity in effort by only those 
educational institutions supported or In 
part supported by the municipality has 
been considered as a means of economy, as 
well as of greater efficiency by the munici- 
pal corporation. 

There is no question that the idea 
could be enlarged and made much more 
valuable by obtaining the cooperation of 
other educational institutions of the city 
with those of the municipality in much the 
same way as the small Buffalo pamphlet, 
"Means of education and culture offered 
to day workers by the City of Buffalo" 
(1909) was vastly bettered by the Council 
for Library and Museum Extension by 
Chicago In its hand-book, "Educational op- 
portunities of Chicago" (1911). 

EXECUTIVE BOARD 

Chicago, January 3, 1912. 

Meeting called to order by the president, 

Mrs. H. L. Elmendorf. Other members 

present: Henry E. Legler, Mary W. Plum- 

mer, Alice S. Tyler, Herbert Putnam, Purd 

B. Wright, C. W. Andrews and Linda A. 

Eastman. Carl B. Roden, treasurer, and 

George B. Utley, secretary, were also 

present. 

The Executive Board having learned of 
the death, since its last session, of Fred- 
erick Morgan Crunden, senior ex-president 
of the American Library Asoclation, it was 
Voted, that Dr. Andrews prepare and trans- 
mit to the trustees of the St. Louis 



public library a suitable minute, in be- 
half of the Executive Board, of regret at 
the death of Frederick M. Crunden, the 
senior ex-president of the American 
Library Association. Dr. Andrews ac- 
cordingly prepared and presented the 
following minute: 

At their meeting of January third, 1912, 
the Executive Board of the American Li- 
brary Association voted to express to the 
Board of Directors of the Public library of 
St. Louis, their deep sympathy in the sor- 
row which all must feel because of the 
recent death of the first librarian, Fred- 
erick M. Crunden. Its occurrence so 
shortly before the opening of the new 
central building makes it impossible for 
them to wait for the more formal action 
which the Association will take at its 
meeting next summer. Moreover, while 
the members in general honor his memory 
as that of their senior ex-president and 
hold in the highest esteem his services to 
the Association and to his community, the 
members of the Executive Board and the 
older members of the Association mourn 
his loss as a friend and companion, and 
know well that this feeling is shared by all 
who knew him. 

Voted, that Dr. Andrews be appointed spe- 
cial delegate of the Board to the opening 
exercises of the St. Louis public library, 
and that he be authorized to draft and 
present to the St. Louis public library 
board a suitable resolution of congratula- 
tions. Dr. Andrews prepared and 
presented the following minute: 

The Executive Board of the American 
Library Asociation at their meeting on 
January third, 1912, voted to extend to the 
Board of Directors of the Public library of 
St. Louis the cordial congratulations of the 
Association on the opening of the central 
buldlng. They offer their best wishes for 
the future welfare of the institution with 
confidence in the continuance of the wise 
direction and adminstration which have se- 
cured for it the confidence of the 
community, and with gratitude for the 
many valued services which its librarians 
have rendered to the Association and to 
the library interests in general. 

An Invitation was read from the Library 
Association of the United Kingdom, ex- 
tending to American librarians a hearty 
invitation to attend Its next annual meet-

ing, to be held In Liverpool, the first 

week in September, 1912. On motion of Dr. 

Putnam, it was 

Voted, that the secretary acknowledge this 
invitation with thanks and express the 
hope that a number of American li- 
brarians may be able to attend this 
meeting. 



On motion of Miss Plummer It was 
Voted, that the secretary extend a cordial 
invitation to members of the Library 
Association of the United Kingdom, to 
attend the next annual conference of the 
American Library Association. 
Carl B. Roden submitted his report as 
treasurer, as follows:

The committee are prepared to approve 
appropriations to the amount of $19,450, 
and also the appropriation to the use of the 
Publishing Board of any excess of sales 
over the amount estimated. 

The chairman has been designated by 
the committee to audit the accounts of the 
secretary and treasurer and has performed 
this duty. He finds that the receipts as 
stated by the treasurer agree with the 
transfer checks from the secretary and 
with the cash accounts of the latter. The 
expenditures as stated are all accounted 
for by properly approved and receipted 
vouchers and the bank balances as stated 
agree with the bank statements. 

The accounts of the secretary have been 
examined and found correct as cash 
accounts. 

The committee have designated Mr. E. 
H. Anderson to audit the accounts of the 
Trustees of the endowment funds and ex- 
pect that the Trustees will be ready to 
submit these accounts later in the current 
month. The results of this audit and the 
final approval of the budget, as adopted, 
will be made a part of the formal report 
of the Finance committee to the Associa- 
tion at its annual meeting. 
Respectfully,

Chairman. 

On motion of Dr. Putnam it was 
Voted, to adopt the report of the Finance 

committee.

Dr. Andrews moved and it was 
Voted, that there be appropriated for the 
use of the Publishing Board the income 
of the Carnegie fund and the proceeds of 
the sales of publications estimated at 
$13,450 for 1912 and any excess in these 
sales excepting the amount of $2,000 
agreed upon by the Publishing Board 
as its appropriation towards the support 
of the Executive office of the Association. 
J. I. Wyer, Jr., presented by letter the 
following report in behalf of the committee 
on the A. L. A. Manual to which was re- 
ferred the resolution of the Executive 
Board at Pasadena, relating to a code of 
practice for the use of library classifiers: 

"... The proposition, with the state- 
ment from Mr. William Stetson Merrill as 
to just what he meant by it, has been 
submitted to every member of the com- 
mittee who are unanimous in the belief 
that it does not properly claim a place in 
our proposed chapter on classification for 
the Manual. The members of the com- 
mittee were in some doubt as to just 
what Mr. Merrill had in mind, and we had 
not only some correspondence with him, 
but our Mr. Windsor has had a conference 
with him in Chicago. It is now perfectly 
clear to the committee what he means, and 
it is after this correspondence and inter- 
view that we have reached our decision. 

This should not be taken to prejudice 
Mr. Merrill's project. It may be possible 
to formulate and codify rules for classify- 
ing in the same way that cataloging rules 
have been done. The Manual committee 
thinks it will be more difficult, but is 
not ready to say that It is Impossible. Mr. 
Windsor indeed writes, 'I am inclined to 
believe that there is something in it and 
encouraged him to continue his work. 
However, both Mr. Merril and I agreed that 
it was not the sort of material that should 
form a chapter of the Manual.' " 

On motion of Mr. Legler it was 
Voted, that the report be adopted and the

subject referred to the Publishing Board. 
Voted, that In accordance with the pro- 
visions of Sec. 2 of the By-laws, the Com- 
mittee on nominations for 1912 be 
constituted as follows: Chalmers Hadley, 
chairman, C. H. Gould, Edith Tobitt, G. 
T. Little, Jessie Welles. 
C. H. Gould conferred with the Board 
at the request of the president regarding 
plans for the 1912 conference. From the 
most reliable and authoritative informa- 
tion available it appeared most probable 
that the Chateau Laurier at Ottawa would 
be completed in time to accommodate the 
1912 conference in that city. It was taken 
by consent after discussion that according 
to present plans the conference begin 
either June 26 or 27. 

Voted, that the bonds of the treasurer and 

secretary be held in the custody of the 

chairman of the Finance committee. 

The secretary having reported that the 

Association had received as a gift from A. 

Hastings Grant, the papers and letters of 

his father, S. Hastings Grant, who was an 

honorary member of the Association, which 

relate to the library conference in New 

York in 1853, it was 

Voted, that the hearty thanks of the 
Executive Board be given to A. Hastings 



Grant, for this appreciated donation, 
which it is believed will prove of great 
historic value, and that proper steps be 
taken to place the papers in condition to 
assure their safety and make them easy 
of reference. 
On motion of Mr. Wright it was 

Voted, that the appropriation for the ex- 
penses of the 1912 conference be in- 
creased from $400 to $500, $100 assigned 
to contingencies being transferred for 
this purpose. 

Voted, that the president appoint a com- 
mittee to draft a by-law stating definitely 
what person or persons are entitled to 
cast vote for institutional members. The 
president appointed Henry E. Legler, 
Purd B. Wright and Linda A. Eastman. 
A petition having been received from the 

'chairman of the committee on library 

training, for an appropriation of $500 for 

year 1912 for the purpose of inspecting 

library schools, it was 

Voted, that $200 for this stated purpose be 
appropriated to the use of the committee 
on library training, from the amount set 
apart for the use of committees, and 
that appropriations of other committees 
be apportionately reduced. 
Adjourned.

fire insurance on the stereotype plates 
and 983 copies of "Subject headings" 
stored with the printers. 
Voted, that complimentary copies of Sub- 
ject headings, third edition, be sent to 
the members of the advisory committee, 
Gardner M. Jones, Harriet B. Prescott, 
A. G. S. Josephson, Margaret Mann, 
Linda M. Clatworthy, J. C. M. Hanson 
and Nina E. Browne. 
Dr. Andrews reported that, as special 
committee on periodical printed cards, he 
had for over a year been in correspondence 
with the card distribution section of the 
Library of Congress, but that no under- 
standing had yet been reached as to which 
periodicals the Library of Congress would 



take over. He stated that the offer of the 
Royal Library at Berlin to supply printed 
cards would, without doubt, affect the 
card publications of the Board, and that he 
had already written to the Royal Library 
asking further particulars regarding the 
service that could be rendered American 
libraries. 

Voted, that the matter be referred back 
to Dr. Andrews with power to act. 
By common consent the Board agreed to 
continue the policy of printing chapters of 
the A. L. A. Manual of library economy as 
separate chapters, but were of the opinion 
that the finances of the Board would not 
permit the printing of further chapters for 
some months. 

Voted, that the Library of Congress be 
granted permission to reprint Chapter 2 
of the Manual of library economy, in 
accordance with their request. 
Voted, to defer printing annual supple- 
ments to the Subject index to the A. L. A. 
Booklist until further action. 
Voted, that the printing of the Index to

AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION BULLETIN 



library reports be postponed until 1913. 
A letter was read from Dr. A. E. Bost- 
wick in which he recommended the 
publication of some kind of professional 
record of working librarians. This should 
give the date of birth, education, and 
positions held, with dates, instead of mere- 
ly the present position as now given in the 
Handbook. Each entry should be very 
short. The general form of "Who's who 
in America" might be followed, making it 
strictly a working record of those mem- 
bers of the A. L. A. who are in the work, 
intended especially for the information 
of those who are compelled each year to 
fill a large number of positions on the 
staff. Dr. Bostwick stated that should the 
preparation of such a list be too much for 
the present office force at headquarters he 
thought he could safely promise the 
necessary assistance in the St. Louis pub- 
lic library. 

Voted, that the secretary secure more 
definite information as to the nature of 
the assistance which Dr. Bostwick be- 
lieved could be rendered in the St. Louis 
public library. 

Voted, that the question of printing a 1911 
supplement to Kroeger's Guide to ref- 
erence books be postponed until next 
meeting. 

Dr. Andrews reported that A. G. S. 
Josephson no longer wished to contribute 
titles for printed cards in the bibliographi- 
cal series, which he has done in the past 
at ten cents per title. Dr. Andrews was 
requested to ascertain how many libraries 
wish to subscribe for this series, the dis- 
position of the matter being referred to him 
with power. 
Adjourned. 

LIVERPOOL CONFERENCE OF THE 
L. A. U. K. 

The secretary of the A. L. A. has re- 
ceived the following letter from the secre- 
tary of the Library Association of the 
United Kingdom, inviting American libra- 



rians to attend the Liverpool conference in 
September, 1912. 

December 13, 1911. 
Secretary, American Library Association, 

Chicago, 111. 
Sir: 

The next annual meeting of the Library 
Association (of the United Kingdom) will 
be held in the city of Liverpool, during the 
first week of September, 1912. 

The situation of Liverpool and its inti- 
mate connections with America would 
seem naturally to point to this meeting as 
an Anglo-American one. 

On behalf of the members of the Library 
Association, as well as on behalf of the Re- 
ception Committee of the City of Liverpool, 
we beg to offer a most hearty invitation to 
American librarians to be present at this 
meeting. 

It is hardly necessary to dilate upon the 
advantages of Liverpool for a meeting of 
this kind, nor to refer to the many places 
of interest in and near the city. If any 
American librarian contemplating attend- 
ing this meeting will notify both the under- 
signed we will see that he is supplied with 
full information as to the program of pa- 
pers and as to the local arrangements. 
We are 

Yours faithfully, 

(signed) L. STANLEY JAST, 

Honorary Secretary, 
Library Association, 
24, Bloomsbury Square, 

London, W. C. 

(signed) G. T. SHAW, 

Local Honorary Secretary, 

Public Library, 

Liverpool. 

By vote of the Executive Board the 
secretary has acknowledged this kind in- 
vitation with hearty thanks, expressing the 
hope that some of our American librarians 
may find it possible to be present. Those 
who have had the pleasure of attending an 
English library conference remember with 
abiding pleasure the cordiality and hospi- 
tality extended to visitors from across the 
water. The Executive Board has extended 
a warm invitation to English librarians to 
attend our 1912 conference at Ottawa, and 
we sincerely hope that some of them will 
find it possible to be present.

THE OTTAWA CONFERENCE 

Ottawa, Canada, will In all probability be 
the meeting place for the 1912 conference 
of the A. L. A., and the date will probably 
be the last week in June. The Chateau 
Laurier, the new hotel, on the completion 
of which depends our meeting in Ottawa, 
is making satisfactory progress and the au- 
thorities have given the officers of the As- 
sociation every possible assurance that it 
will be ready in time. The Saguenay River 
seems to be the unanimous choice for 
a post-conference trip, and a three or four 
days journey by special chartered steamer 
to the head of navigation, with a day at 
Montreal and another at Quebec, with 
shorter stops at other points of interest, 
will undoubtedly be arranged. The secre- 



tary and the travel committee are fortunate 
to have the co-operation of Mr. C. H. Gould, 
who, by virtue of his location at Montreal 
and his successful conduct of a similar out- 
ing following the Montreal conference of 
1900, is in a peculiarly fortunate position to 
render exceedingly valuable service. More 
extended plans and detailed information 
may be looked for in the March Bulletin. 

COLLEGE LIBRARIANS AT A. L. A. CON- 
FERENCE OF 1912 

The secretary of the A, L. A. recently 
sent a circular letter to the librarians of 135 
of the leading college and university libra- 
ries in the United States and Canada re- 
specting the A. L. A. conference of 1912. 
The letter stated that this conference 
would probably be held at Ottawa, Canada, 
and that the Executive Board desired to ar- 
range a date ttyat would be convenient for 
the librarians and assistants of the college 
and university libraries. Information was 
requested on the following points: 

1. Date college closes for summer of 
1912. 

2. State your preference for date of con- 
ference (6 days). 

3. Will librarian probably attend if date 
is convenient? 

4. How many other members of staff 
will probably attend if date is convenient? 

Librarians may be interested to see the 
result of this questionnaire.

We regret that of the 135 librarians ad- 
dressed only 62 per cent have found it con- 
venient to reply, but from the returns re- 
ceived it is clear that the last of June or 
first of July are the most popular dates for 



10 



AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION BULLETIN 



the conference from the college librarian's 
point of view. Most of those who express 
no preference are those who do not expect 
to attend. From these returns it appears 
that the college libraries are going to be 
well represented at the next conference. 

A. L. A. COUNCIL 

Two sessions of the Council were held 
during the recent mid-winter library meet- 
ings in Chicago, the first on Thursday after- 
noon, January 4th, and the second on Fri- 
day morning, the 5th. The president, Mrs. 
H. L. Elmendorf, was in the chair. The 
following 30 members were present: Mrs. 
H. L. Elmendorf, Henry E. Legler, Mary W. 
Plummer, W. C. Lane, Alice S. Tyler, Her- 
bert Putnam, P. B. Wright, C. W. Andrews, 
Linda A. Eastman, H. M. Utley, W. H. 
Brett, F. P. Hill, C. H. Gould, Cornelia Mar- 
vin, Mary Eileen Ahern, W. F. Yust, S. H. 
Ranck, Edith Tobitt, H. W. Graver, C. B. 
Roden, L. J. Burpee, A. S. Root, Mary E. 
Hazeltlne, Mary E. Robbins, P. L. Windsor, 
G. F. Bowennan, W. N. C. Carlton, G. H. 
Locke, Grace D. Rose, Clara F. Baldwin. 

January 4th 

The first subject considered was the ad- 
visability for the A. L. A. to open negotia- 
tions with certain national organizations 
with a view to greater mutual service 
through membership or otherwise. It was 
felt that the officers and members in these 
various societies are not sufficiently in- 
formed of the nature and extent of the 
work of the public and institutional libra- 
ries in this country and Canada, and that 
they do not properly realize what far-reach- 
ing and efficient agencies libraries are for 
public education along their lines of special 
Interest The following is a suggested list 
of organizations to which it might be ad- 
vantageous for the A. L. A. to belong: 
American association for the advancement 

of science. 

American civic association. 
American economic association. 
American historical association. 
American philological association. 
American political science association. 



American society for the extension of uni- 
versity teaching. 
American sociological society. 
Bibliographical society of America. 
Child conference for research and welfare. 
International kindergarten union. 
Modern language association of America. 
National conference of charities and cor- 
rection. 

National education association. 
National geographic society. 
National municipal league. 
National prison association. 
National society for the scientific study of 

education. 

North American civic league for immi- 
grants. 
Playground association of America. 

It was believed that it might be advan- 
tageous both to the A. L. A. and to certain 
of the proposed organizations for specially 
appointed delegates from the A. L. A. to 
attend the conferences of these organiza- 
tions; take such part in the discussion as 
might be possible; and report to the A. L. 
A. on the scope and importance of the 
meetings from the library point of view. 
Dr. Putnam pointed out that the nature of 
the society would largely influence the 
value that such a delegate could give or 
receive; that a delegate to some of the or- 
ganizations suggested would probably 
serve a good purpose, but that in certain 
other conferences there would be little op- 
portunity for a delegate to secure or impart 
much of service to others. Mr. Ranck 
thought that such a delegate should be 
either an officer or member of the Execu- 
tive board. Miss Ahern believed that this 
was not necessary, and that a suitable dele- 
gate could always be found in some libra- 
rian geographically near to the place of 
conference. Dr. Putnam raised the ques- 
tion whether a national association should 
be entitled to any greater consideration or 
dignity than a library which should become 
an institutional member, the general opin- 
ion being that all institutional members 
would be much on the same footing. It 
was 
Voted, that the president be authorized

to ascertain by appointment of a com- 
mittee or otherwise whether it would be 
possible and advisable for the A. L. A. 
to open negotiations with certain nation- 
al educational and other societies and 
organizations with a view to mutual 
service. 

Mr. George F. Bowerman, as chairman 
of a committee, presented a letter from the 
District of Columbia library association. 
The letter reminded the association that 
only once in its 35 years of life had it met 
in Washington; that the lack of invitation 
on the part of the librarians of Washington 
had not been occasioned by any lack of ap- 
preciation on their part of the entire ap- 
propriateness of Washington as a recurrent 
meeting place ; that it had not been deemed 
requisite, but to a certain extent preposter- 
ous, to invite the national association to 
meet in the national capital where both the 
city itself and the libraries (for the most 
part) are national, rather than local, pos- 
sessions and interests. The letter called 
attention to the advantages of Washington 
as a meeting place and expressed the belief 
that the Washington conferences would be 
among the most largely attended of all its 
meetings. In conclusion the District of 
Columbia library asociation, even though 
for the foregoing reasons it did not deem it 
appropriate to extend a formal invitation 
to the American library association to hold 
any special meeting in Washington, wished 
to offer assurances that it would be highly 
gratified should the American library as- 
sociation adopt a policy that would include 
frequent meetings in Washington. 

The suggestion of a fixed location for re- 
current meetings at stated periods was re- 
ceived with considerable favor, but no 
unanimity of opinion was reached regard- 
ing the best available place. Some be- 
lieved that a place with fewer social attrac- 
tions and greater quiet should be selected 
for recurrent meetings. It was 
Voted, that the secretary express to the 
District of Columbia library association 
the hearty thanks of the Council for its 
communication. 
Further action -was deferred. 



The secretary read a letter from the sec- 
retary of the New Jersey library associa- 
tion extending the invitation of the execu- 
tive committee in charge of the forth- 
coming Atlantic City meeting to the A. L. 
A. and all affiliated bodies to hold as many 
of the A. L. A. mid-winter meetings as pos- 
sible at Atlantic City, feeling that the time 
of year and the general popularity of At- 
lantic City as a resort, as well as the long 
standing of the conference there, make the 
suggestion appropriate. Mr. Hill moved 
that it be considered desirable for the mid- 
winter meeting of the Council to be held 
one year in Chicago and the next year in 
Atlantic City, or some place farther east. 
On vote being taken the motion was lost. 

In the attendant discussion Dr. Andrews 
called attention to the fact that there was 
nothing to prevent Council meetings being 
held in both places each year if desired and 
that this might prove a very popular course 
to pursue. He pointed out, however, that 
it was important for the Executive Board 
and the Publishing Board to meet at the 
beginning of the fiscal year, preferably at 
headquarters, for action on the financial 
reports and budgets for the coming year. 
Dr. Andrews and other members of the 
Council expressed warm appreciation of 
the invitation from the New Jersey library 
association. 

Dr. Putnam, in behalf of the special com- 
mittee appointed at the Pasadena confer- 
ence to formulate conditions of affiliation 
for all except local, state and provincial 
associations, reported that some progress 
had been made but that no specific report 
could be made at this time. 

Dr. Putnam, as chairman of the commit- 
tee on international relations, also reported 
progress on the subject of exchange of 
Canadian and American public documents. 

A letter was read from Dr. Bernard C. 
Steiner, chairman of the committee on fed- 
eral and state relations, in which he made 
the following report: 

"After consultation among its members, 
and interviews with some of the congress- 
men on the Committee on Post Office and 
Post Roads, your committee has decided 
to recommend that the movement looking 



12 



AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION BULLETIN 



toward the establishment of a parcels post 
be supported by our Association, and that 
no attempt be made to secure a library 
post. The third choice, the establishment 
of a special book post, seems impracticable 
at this time. We have corresponded with 
representatives of the publishers, and feel 
that nothing can be done on that line. We 
therefore recommend the support of the 
proposed parcels post." 
Voted, that the president appoint a com- 
mittee of three to draft a resolution rela- 
tive to the establishment of a parcels 
post and report to the Council at its next 
session (on the following day), which 
resolution should then be referred to the 
committee on federal and state relations. 
The president appointed on this commit- 
tee C. W. Andrews, W. C. Lane and Cor- 
nelia Marvin. 

Voted, that a committee from the Council 
be appointed by the president to con- 
sider the government of American libra- 
ries and their relation to the municipal 
authorities, and to report its action to 
the Council at the earliest possible date. 
The president appointed on this commit- 
tee Arthur E. Bostwick, with power to 
complete the committee. 
Miss Marvin spoke of plans for library 
buildings, expressing a hearty desire for co- 
operation between the new Carnegie Cor- 
poration and the A. L. A. 
Voted, that a committee be appointed 
by the president to consider the question 
of library architecture and of co-operation 
between the A. L. A. and the Carnegie 
Corporation, and to report to the Coun 
ell at its next meeting. The president 
appointed on this committee, Cornelia 
Marvin, W. H. Brett and H. C. Wellman. 
Council adjourned. 

January 5th 

At the second meeting of the Council, 
held Friday morning, January 5th, the first 
subject for discussion was educational 
unity in cities. Mr. W. L. Brown had pre- 
pared a paper* on this subject, which, in 
his absence, was read by the secretary. It 
was 



See p. 1. 



Voted, that the library periodicals be re- 
quested to print Mr. Brown's paper and 
other statements supplementing it, and 
that the secretary bring it to the atten- 
tion of the press and give it as much 
other desirable publicity as possible. 
Dr. Andrews felt it important to learn 
what other cities were doing along this line, 
and explained briefly the work of the Coun- 
cil for library and museum extension in 
Chicago, illustrating with several of their 
publications. The president called atten- 
tion to similar work done in Buffalo. Mr. 
Lane spoke of the work done in Boston. 
Miss Ahern reminded the Council that the 
initial step in this work in Chicago was 
taken by the Chicago library club. Mr. 
Ranck felt that there was a tendency to 
create new boards and institutions to un- 
dertake new activities, when these could 
be handled equally well by existing organi- 
zations. 

The following report was presented by 
the 

Committee on Relation of the A. L. A. and 
State Library Associations 

The committee on the relation of the 
A. L. A. and state library associations is 
able to report gratifying progress, and that 
the communication sent to meetings of the 
various state associations this fall and win- 
ten have been most favorably considered. 
The specific questions were: 

How may a state library association be 
formally or officially connected with the 
A. L. A. on a basis which will be advan- 
tageous to both organizations? 

1. By the payment of a per capita as- 
sessment into the treasury of the A. L. A. 
on a basis of probably 10 cents per capita? 

2. Should this entitle the state associa- 
tion to name a representative from the 
state as a member of the A. L. A. Council? 

3. Should there not be a minimum re- 
quirement as to the number of members 
in a state association before it would be 
eligible for connection with the A. L. A. 
upon the basis suggested? (1. e. a state as- 
sociation should have at least 25 members 
before It would be eligible for state repre- 
sentation in the Council). 

4. In the larger state associations might 
it not be advisable to allow more than one 
representative on the Council, e. g. one 
representative for every 100 state mem- 
bers, or fraction thereof? 

5. Should the individual members of the 



AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION BULLETIN 



13 



state association be considered associate 
members of the A. L. A. under this arrange- 
ment? (without receiving the publications 
of the A. L. A., the cost of which is con- 
siderable). 

6. Should those already members of 
state associations who desire to join the 
A. L. A. individually be given some conces- 
sion, such as the waiving of the initiation 
fee in the A. L. A.? 

7. Is there a probability of strengthen- 
ing your state library association by this 
official recognition and by the reports that 
would come back to the state meetings 
from the state representatives to the Coun- 
cil? 

The committee feels that the preliminary 
investigations have been sufficiently thor- 
ough to assure them of a general desire 
that there shall be such changes made in 
the Constitution of the A. L. A. as will 
make possible a formal federation of the 
state associations with the A. L. A. 

The committee requests that the secre- 
tary of the A. L. A. obtain from each state, 
district and provincial association a list of 
its members, or in some way, ascertain 
how many A. L. A. members are now mem- 
bers of each of these associations. Until 
this data is available no conclusions can 
be safely drawn as to the effect such affili- 
ation might have on the A. L. A. member- 
ship. 

The following recommendations are 
made to the Council for consideration re- 
garding certain amendments to the Consti- 
tution: 

1. That provision be made for state, dis- 
trict and provincial membership in the 
Council by amending Section 14 of the Con- 
stitution, substituting for the clause "twen- 
ty-five elected by the Council itself" the fol- 
lowing: "one member from each state and 
provincial library association which com- 
plies with the conditions for state and pro- 
vincial representation set forth by the By- 
laws." 

2. That Section 3 of the Bylaws be 
amended by striking out the entire section 
and substituting the following therefor: 

"Each state and provincial library asso- 
ciation having a membership of not less 

than members may be represented 

in the Council by the president of such 
association, or by an alternate elected at 
the annual meeting of the association. 
The annual dues shall be $5.00 for each as- 
sociation having a membership of 50 or less 
and 10 cents per capita additional where 
membership is above that number." 

All members of the associations so affili- 
ating shall be considered associate mem- 
bers of the A. L. A. without receiving pub- 
lications, and should such members desire 



to become individual members of the A. L. 
A. the payment of an initiation fee will be 
waived. 

Alice S. Tyler, Chairman. 

Samuel H. Ranck. 

The third member of the committee, Mr. 
Frank P. Hill, dissented from the recom- 
mendations, but agreed with the report 
which precedes the recommendations. 

The report and the general subject of 
affiliation were discussed by the three mem- 
bers of the committee and by several other 
members of the Council, the following 
points being raised: 

Would a fee of 10 cents per capita paid to 
the American library association by state 
associations having more than 50 members 
be interpreted as a penalty for increasing 
the state membership, or would it be wiser 
to have a uniform fee of $5.00 for all state 
associations which affiliate, regardless of 
size of membership? 

Are the American library association 
members who join one year and lapse the 
next influenced solely by the proximity of 
the conference for that year, or are there 
other elements, which affiliation might as- 
sist in overcoming? 

Would the lack of continuity of service 
by Council members who were elected by 
affiliating associations tend to disarrange 
continued policies of the Council, or would 
a larger number of new members coming 
and old members leaving help to spread 
more rapidly the work of the American li- 
brary association? 

If there were more than one state library 
organization in a state would each organi- 
zation be entitled to elect a member to the 
Council, or should the state as a whole only 
be entitled to one representative? The 
latter plan seemed to be the more favorably 
received. 

Should twenty-five members of Council 
continue to be elected by the Council itself, 
or should state representation be substi- 
tuted therefor, as recommended by a ma- 
jority of the committee? 

Should a greater or less concession be 
given to members of state associations 
when Joining the American library associa- 
tion than a waiving of initiation fee? 



14 



AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION BULLETIN 



Would accepting members of state asso- 
ciations as associate members of the 
American library association and giving 
associate members travel and hotel privi- 
leges at the conference tend to discourage 
active membership in the American library 
association? 

After discussion it was 
Voted, that the report be received and be 
referred back to the committee; that it 
be printed in the American library asso- 
ciation Bulletin, together with an ab- 
stract of the attendant discussion; and 
that that portion of the report be 
adopted which requests the secretary of 
the American library association to ob- 
tain from each state and provincial asso- 
ciation a list of its members so as to 
ascertain how many are members of the 
American library association. 
A report of progress was made for the 
committee on international printed cards 
by the chairman, W. C. Lane. The plan for 
printing cards at the Royal Library at Ber- 
lin was briefly outlined and librarians were 
recommended to avail themselves of these 
cards as far as possible. It was suggested 
that American libraries might place orders 
for these Berlin cards with the headquar- 
ters office of the A. L. A., and that the 
cards when received be distributed from 
headquarters. In many cases libraries can 
probably arrange for ordering of cards 
through their foreign book agents. The 
chairman read a letter from Dr. Aksel 
Andersson, librarian of the University of 
Upsala, giving a report of progress in 
Sweden. 

A letter from George S. Godard, chair- 
man of the committee on public documents, 
was read by Mr. Ranck, member of the 
committee, in which Miss Hasse suggested 
the publication of a bibliography or check- 
list of Canadian documents, made on the 
same plan as the Wisconsin check-list pub- 
lished in 1903 by the Wisconsin free library 
commission. 

On motion of Dr. Andrews it was 
Voted, that this recommendation be re- 
fered to the Publishing Board. 
The committee to secure information rel- 



ative to a scientific and satisfactory stand- 
ard for lighting and ventilation of library 
buildings made the following report 
through the chairman, Samuel H. Ranck. 
To the Council of the American library as- 
sociation: 

Your special committee on the ventilation 
and lighting of library buildings can report 
at this time nothing more than progress 
in its work. The subjects it is dealing with 
are large ones and in many respects most 
difficult. It would seem, however, that 
there is urgent need for the bringing to- 
gether in convenient form for the use of 
all interested in libraries the best scientific 
thought, the most exact data, and the ac- 
cumulated experience of librarians and 
others on these two subjects that mean so 
much to library workers and library users. 
As an evidence of this need it may be men- 
tioned that the committee has already re- 
ceived requests for information and opin- 
ions on these subjects from librarians, from 
library trustees, and from architects. 

Your committee has held one meeting, 
has had a very large correspondence, and is 
getting, or expects to get, more or less co- 
operation from about a dozen other organi- 
zations or institutions that are interested 
in or are studying one or both of these sub- 
jects. 

The work of the committee thus far has 
been chiefly devoted to making a schedule 
of the questions our report should answer 
and the subjects it should discuss. A read- 
ing of this schedule will convince anyone 
that the work of the committee is exceed- 
ingly complicated and that much time will 
be required to complete it. 

It is the purpose of the committee to an- 
swer these problems, so far as possible, 
first, by the use of abstracts from books 
and writers of recognized authority and 
standing; second, to check up these an- 
swers by the experience of librarians from 
a series of libraries; and thirdly, and final- 
ly, on all doubtful points or on points not 
previously considered in discussions of this 
subject, to have made a number of experi- 
ments and scientific tests especially for this 
report. 

Respectfully submitted, 

Samuel H. Ranck, 

Chairman. 

The committee appointed at the pre- 
ceding session to draft a resolution regard- 
ing the attitude of the association to a 
parcels post presented the following, which 
was unanimously adopted: 
Resolved, That the Council of the Ameri- 
can library association respectfully 



AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION BULLETIN

express to Congress their belief that the 
library interests of the country demand 
greater and less expensive facilities for 
the transportation of books, so that li- 
braries may be able to extend their bene- 
fits to persons living away from the 
centers of population, and so that the 
smalled libraries may more freely borrow 
from the larger. 

While a special library post would ap- 
pear to them a most desirable measure, 
they believe that the proposed parcels 
post would materially improve the pres- 
ent conditons, and therefore they respect- 
fully urge its establishment. 
Mr. Wright desired the Council to ap- 
point a committee to define the term "cir- 
culation of books" as used by libraries. On 
motion it was voted that this matter be 
referred to the committee on library ad- 
ministration. 

On motion by Miss Robbins the following 
resolution was unanimously adopted: 
Resolved, That the Council of the A L. A. 
express to the directors of the Chicago 
public library, to the directors of the Art 
Institute, and to the members of the Chi- 
cago library club its appreciation and 
thanks for the hospitality and thoughtful 
courtesy extended to it during this meet- 
ing. 
Council adjourned. 

COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY LIBRARI- 
ANS OF THE MIDDLE WEST 

The third annual meeting of the college 
and university librarians of the middle 
west was held in the Chicago public 
library, Friday afternoon and Saturday 
forenoon, January 5 and 6, 1912. The 
attendance, sixty at the first session and 
forty at the second, was larger than hereto- 
fore, partly because more institutions were 
represented and partly because of the 
presence of a larger number of other li- 
brarians who were in Chicago to attend 
the meetings of the week. Nineteen col- 
lege and university libraries of this section 
of the country were represented by from 
one to six members of their respective 
staffs; and representatives from eastern 
libraries, Harvard, Columbia, Simmons, 
and Syracuse, from one southern library, 
the University of Georgia, from one 



Canadian library, McGill University, and 
from the John Crerar library and the 
Library of Congress were all welcome 
visitors and participants in the discussions. 

Dr. Walter Lichtenstein, who has re- 
cently returned from a six months 
expedition to European book centers in the 
interest of several American libraries, told 
his plan of work and some of his ex- 
periences in filling book orders entrusted 
to him. Mr. Lane, Dr. Andrews, and Mr. 
Hanson gave very favorable reports con- 
cerning his work for Harvard, Chicago 
University, and the John Crerar libraries. 
Mr. Newman Miller, of the University of 
Chicago Press, presented a statement con- 
cerning the work of the cooperative 
forwarding agent from European book 
centers. Weekly shipment of books has 
proven a very satisfactory, though a some- 
what expensive, arrangement, and the 
suggestion was made that perhaps a bi- 
weekly shipment would reduce the cost and 
provide sufficiently frequent shipments to 
satisfy most needs. Mr. G. W. Sheldon, 
whose firm has acted as the shipping agent, 
was present and took part in the general 
discussion. Professor A. S. Root presented 
a statement of "some perplexities in the 
use of printed catalog cards," in which 
he called attention to some shortcomings of 
this service which everyone recognizes and 
which can hardly be remedied, and to other 
shortcomings or inconsistencies which 
might, perhaps, be eliminated. Dr. Andrews 
of the A. L. A. publishing board, Dr. Put- 
nam of the Library of Congress, Mr. 
Hanson, of the University of Chicago, and 
others participated in the very active dis- 
cussion which followed. Mr. H. O. 
Severance gave a description of a charg- 
ing system which has recently been in- 
augurated at the University of Missouri 
library. 

At the second session Mr. P. L. Windsor 
presented statistics tending to show the 
extent of the dependence of western li- 
braries on the large eastern libraries in the 
matter of inter-library loans. The bulk of 
loans to institutions of the middle west 
appeared to come from Harvard, Library

AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION BULLETIN 



of Congress, John Crerar library, and the 
University of Chicago library. Greater 
publicity in regard to the contents of our 
own libraries would probably decrease the 
number of requests sent to eastern li- 
braries. Mr. Lane presented the proposition 
to make a charge for such loans, not for 
the use of the book but to pay for a part 
of the service involved in making the loan. 
Mr. Jacob Hodnefleld presented a full ac- 
count of his work with "exchange and 
gifts," in the Universtiy of Illinois library. 

Mr. J. T. Gerould opened the discussion 
of -"pensions for college librarians," and 
emphasized the desirability of an academic 
rank being accorded the principal members 
of our staffs. At the close of the general 
discussion of this question, a motion was 
passed that the committee in charge of the 
meeting be directed to take what action 
seemed possible, in order to lead to a more 
general granting of this academic rank. 

The committee to make arrangements for 
next year's meeting consists of Mr. J. 'C. 
M. Hanson, Dr. A. S. Root, and Mr. J. T. 
Gerould.

CONFERENCE OF LIBRARY SCHOOL 
FACULTIES 

Chicago, January 3, 1912. 

The meeting was called to order at 2:30 
p. m., by Mr. Windsor. In the absence of 
Miss Whittlesey, Miss Bessie Sargeant 
Smith was made secretary. Twelve library 
schools were represented, and twenty- 
seven persons were present. A report was 
read on the use of lantern slides by library 
schools. This report was based on inform- 
ation obtained by Miss Whittlesey from 
letters seat out by her to library schools, 
libraries, and library commissions. A brief 
discussion followed in which the opinions 
expressed showed the value and use of 
such slides, and that it was a matter which 
should be developed further. 

The subject of uniformity in the teaching 
of simplified catalog rules was next pre- 
sented by Miss Rathbone, who said that 
uniformity in teaching forms of cards in 
simplified cataloging would aid in produc- 



ing general uniformity in cataloging. Miss 
Rathbone suggested that if a set of rules 
should be formulated and printed they 
would no doubt be followed sufficiently by 
schools to result in fewer variations in 
forms taught than are now found. Each 
school has practices which it does not con- 
sider of vital importance. Others could be 
substituted to gain the advantage of send- 
ing out from all schools catalogers with 
uniformity in details of simplified catalog- 
ing who would tend to produce like 
methods in libraries. It is not intended 
to alter the A. L. A. rules, but to show how 
cards are to be made when brevity and 
simplicity are desired. The points are 
those of detail and of lesser importance, 
but those concerning which uniformity in 
a catalog is desired. The usages of the 
various library schools in the teaching of 
cataloging were then brought out. Wis- 
consin does not use the A. L. A. rules, but 
has its rules printed on galley, and distrib- 
uted to each student; Illinois uses full A, 
L. A- rules and directs attention to desir- 
able simplifications; New York has not yet 
found any definite simplified rules which It 
feels are infallible. A motion was passed 
that a committee be appointed to confer 
with Miss Hitchler regarding her forth- 
coming book on cataloging. The Chair 
appointed Miss Turvill, chairman of such 
committee, and Misses Gooch and Van 
Valkenburgh as members. Mr. Walter sug- 
gested that such rules be sent to the 
National Education Association as an ex- 
hibit. 

Miss Hazeltine presented for discussion 
the subject of "Efficiency of administration 
in library schools," bringing out in detail 
the conditions in the schools regarding 
registration, number of instructors and lec- 
turers, amount of revising of student work 
by instructors, amount of time allowed in- 
structors for study and preparation of lec- 
tures, number of class appointments per 
instructor, per week, length of instructors' 
vacation, etc. 

The next subject of discussion was the 
"Cost of library schools" presented by Mr. 
Windsor, who had obtained data on this 



17 



question from the various schools. It was 
evident that not only is there no uniform 
system of accounting in the various institu- 
tions, but not even a general statement of 
the real cost of the schools can always be 
made. In many cases the business accounts 
of the library school are so involved with 
other departments of the institution, as to 
make it quite impossible to learn the real 
cost. From rough estimates it seems, how- 
ever, that the annual cost per library school 
student varies in these institutions from 
about $165.00 to $450.00. The amount of 
floor space given over chiefly to school use 
varies from less than one thousand to ten 
thousand square feet. The general dis- 
cussion brought out many interesting 
differences and similarities in the business 
practice. 

There followed some discussion as to the 
conferences of library instructors, when 
and where such conferences should be held, 
etc. There were various suggestions made, 
that these conferences should meet alter- 
nately at Chicago during the mid-winter 
and at Atlantic City during the tri-state 
meeting, at the various library schools, at 
the New York state meeting, etc., but it 
was finally decided that the arrangements 
as to future meetings be left to a com- 
mittee to be appointed by the Chair. The 
Chair then appointed Miss Plummer, Chair- 
man, and Misses Hazeltine and Donnelly. 
BESSIE SARGEANT SMITH, 
Secretary. 

LEAGUE OF LIBRARY COMMISSIONS 

Meeting of the Middle-west Section 

Chicago, Jan. 2-4, 1912. 
The middle-west section of the League of 
library commissions held a meeting in the 
directors room of the Chicago public li- 
brary, January 2-4. Representatives were 
in attendance from Alabama, Illinois, 
Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Min- 
nesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Oregon, 
and Wisconsin. The president of the 
League, Miss Cornelia Marvin, of Oregon, 
acted as chairman. The sessions were all 
given over to informal dicussions of the 
topics outlined by the program committee. 



On Tuesday morning the question of 
state school library systems was con- 
sidered, the session being conducted by 
Miss Martha Wilson, librarian of the state 
department of education of Minnesota. 
Desirable points of a school library law, 
and the connection of school libraries with 
library commissions were the chief topics 
of discussion. 

On Tuesday afternoon, Miss Wales, of 
the Missouri library commission, took 
charge of the discussion on the library bud- 
get for the small library and presented 
the results of a questionnaire sent out to 
all the library commissions. The possibility 
of standardizing the budget for the very 
small library and simplification of methods 
of organizing such libraries were con 
sidered. 

Mr. Milam, of the Indiana commission, 
presided at the session of Wednesday 
morning. The best methods of placing the 
work of library commissions before the 
people, uniform financial accounts and sup- 
plementing the fixed group traveling 
library from open shelves were some of 
the problems discussed. 

The first topic taken up on Thursday 
morning was the publication of an annual 
report of the League, giving comparative 
statistics of the various commissions, in 
order that the commissions might have 
data to use with legislative committees. 

Miss Marvin presented the subject of 
a library post and read a letter from an 
Oregon congressman inquiring just what 
librarians wanted in the way of a library 
post rate. On the motion of Mrs. Earl, the 
president of the League was requested to 
prepare a statement for the committee on 
Post office and Post roads, setting forth the 
wishes of the library commissions for a 
library parcels post. 

The reduction of the membership fee to 
the League was suggested, but no official 
expression of opinion was taken. 

On the request of Miss Wilson, of Min- 
nesota, that a committee be appointed to 
draw up a satisfactory school library law, 
Miss Marvin asked Miss Wilson to prepare 
a statement of the desirable points of such 



18 



AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION BULLETIN 



a law and present the result at the annual 
meeting of the League next summer. 

In view of the general movement toward 
home rule in city government, it was sug- 
gested by Miss Tyler, of Iowa, that 
commissions look after the public library 
provisions in city charters, and it was 
further suggested that the League might 
profitably print a statement containing 
desirable provisions for library control, 
which commissions could send out to char- 
ter committees in their states. 

Miss Brown, of Iowa, presented a report 
of the League committee on study outlines, 
recommending an outline based on a single 
text with a small group of books for col- 
lateral reading, covering from 16 to 26 
meetings, and taking up the work on the 
question of topical method. 

The question of plans of library buildings 
was discussed, and it was voted that the 
president of the League recommend to the 
Council of the A. L. A. that an effort be 
made to secure co-operation between the 
A. L. A. and the Carnegie corporation in 
the interest of progress in library archi- 
tecture. 

The meeting then adjourned. 

CHARLOTTE TEMPLETON, 
Secretary. 

COMMITTEE ON LIBRARY ADMINIS- 
TRATION 

Dr. Arthur E. Bostwick has been 
appointed chairman of the committee on 
library administration in place of Mr. Har- 
rison W. Graver, who was obliged to resign 
owing to the pressure of other duties. The 
other members of the committee are Mr. 
H. M. Lydenberg, of the New York public 
library, and Miss Ethel McCullough, of the 
Wisconsin library school. 

AN EXPERIMENT IN CO-OPERATIVE 

PRINTING 

Another illustration of co-operation in the 
printing of book lists has been furnished in 
the recent experiment of the Louisville free 
public library. It compiled a list entitled 
"Children's Books for Christmas Gifts" con- 
taining about 250 titles broadly classified 
under nine heads, giving author, title, pub- 
lisher and price of each book. The aim of 



the list was not only to furnish suggestions 
for suitable Christmas gifts but also to pro- 
vide a brief list of books which could be 
recommended for children at any time. 

After the printer had filled the order of 
this library the type was held and a special 
rate of $7.00 a thousand plus postage was 
made to any library wishing copies of the 
list, with its own imprint. Notice to that 
effect together with a sample copy was sent 
to the libraries on our mailing list, with 
the result that 30 other libraries and six 
state library commissions ordered 28,500 
copies. 

This is four times as many as were or- 
dered two years ago, when the same plan 
was followed with a similar list. 

The saving which can be effected in this 
way should commend the plan to all libra- 
ries. To compile the list, look after the 
printing, notify other libraries and fill the 
orders means of course no small amount of 
work for the library having it in charge. 
But if other libraries would do likewise 
with lists of their own compilation, the net 
result would be a distinct gain to all con- 
cerned. 

In this library the books on the list were 
on exhibition from November 15th to De- 
cember 25th in the Teachers' Room, which 
is on the second floor adjoining the Chil- 
dren's Room. There is no doubt that the 
exhibit would be more useful if placed on 
the first floor, where it would naturally 
come to the notice of all who enter the 
building. Nevertheless the evidences of its 
use for the immediate purpose intended 
were more numerous this season than last 
and the demand for a short, handy and re- 
liable list of this kind for general purposes 
is continuous. WILLIAM F. YUST.

LIBRARY OF CONGRESS PUBLICA- 
TIONS 

The Library of Congress has for free 
distribution a List of its publications is- 
sued from 1897 to January, 1911, and also 
a supplementary List, January, 1912. These 
Lists give the prices at which publications 
are sold by the Superintendent of Docu- 
ments and will be sent upon request.

NOTES AND NEWS. 

The mid-winter meetings in Chicago 
were attended by 121 library workers rep- 
resenting 19 states, the District of Co- 
lumbia and two provinces of Canada. 

The Toledo public library has printed at 
the top of its stationery: "Institutional 
member of the American Library Associa- 
tion." We recommend this practice to 
other institutional members of the A. L. A. 

Due to a mistake which the editor re- 
grets, the "Expenses per capita" of the St. 
Louis public library were recorded as 35 
cents, instead of 30 cents, in the table of 
comparative library statistics in the No- 
vember Bulletin. 

Mrs. H. L. Elmendorf, president of the A. 
L. A., was the Association's official delegate 
to the Keystone state library association 
meeting at Saegertown, Pa., Oct. 19-21; at 
the District of Columbia library association 
conference at Washington November 8; 
and at the New York state teachers' as- 
sociation meeting at Albany, Nov. 27-29. 
At each of these meetings Mrs. Elmendorf 
delivered an address. 

Martinus Nijhoff, of The Hague, an- 



nounces the publication of a new monthly 
magazine, entitled "Het Boek," which will 
be devoted to matters connected with 
books, and will contain articles on sub- 
jects of bibliographic and typographic 
interest and on library economy. The 
editors are Dr. C. P. Burger, Jr., librarian 
of the Amsterdam university library, and 
V. A. de la Montague, bibliophile, of Brus- 
sels.

OTTAWA CONFERENCE 



The annual conference of the American 
Library Association will be held this year 
at Ottawa, Canada, June 26 to July 2. The 
first and thus far only Canadian meeting 
of the A. L. A. was held at Montreal in 
1900. The past twelve years have seen 
notable progress to the library profession 
both in the United States and Canada and 
those who attended the Montreal confer- 
ence will doubtless find their minds re- 
verting from Ottawa to the library situa- 
tion when last we met with, our northern 
members. Indications point to a large at- 
tendance. The local committee is already 
at work arranging for our comfort and ac- 
commodation; the program committees of 
the A. L. A., and the various, affiliated as- 
sociations and sections are already en- 
gaged In framing the Ottawa program and 
are determined that with the assistance 
of contributing librarians and specialists it 
shall be no whit behind that of previous 
conferences; and the travel committee 
have travel plans sufficiently formulated 
to give all necessary preliminary informa- 
tion. Complete details may be expected in 
the May Bulletin. 

PRELIMINARY TRAVEL ANNOUNCE- 
MENT 

While application for a special reduced 
rate on account of the A. L. A. Conference 



has been made, it seems doubtful if such 
rate will fall much below the regular sum- 
mer excursion round trip which will be in 
force to Ottawa from most points in east- 
ern and central United States. This rate 
varies greatly from different points in com- 
parison with the one-way fare. We ad- 
vise all to consult their home railway 
agents regarding it, and regarding possi- 
bilities of a variable rate going and return- 
ing. 

If the going trip does not pass through 
Montreal and you desire to take the post- 
conference trip, tickets should be bought 
if possible to Montreal, via Ottawa with 
stop-over privilege at Ottawa for the con- 
ference, and at Montreal for the post-con- 
ference trip. 

From eastern Canadian points a round- 
trip rate on the certificate plan will prob- 
ably be granted us, on basis of one and 
three-fifths fares, or possibly one and a 
third provided fifty or more certificates 
are presented at the meeting. 

Party Travel Plans 

To accommodate those desiring to travel 
together and have all arrangements for 
their comfort made, the Travel Committee 
will operate three special excursions to 



22 



AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION BULLETIN 



Ottawa, one from Boston, one from New 
York, and one from Chicago. 

Boston Party 

(Includes Eastern and Central New 
England.) 

Special sleepers will leave Boston early 
on the evening of June 25th, running prob- 
ably via Boston & Maine, Central Ver- 
mont and Grand Trunk railways, due to 
arrive in Ottawa about noon June 26th, the 
opening day of conference. 

The round trip fare Boston to Ottawa 
will probably be $19.40 and lower berth 
|2.50 one way. 

Reservations for this party should be 
made with Frederick W. Faxon, 83 Francis 
St., Boston, and deposit covering Pullman 
will later be required. 

New York Party 
(Including Eastern Atlantic States.) 

This party will leave New York on the 
evening of June 25th by Albany night boat, 
thus ensuring a restful night journey. 
From Albany special parlor cars will be 
used, the party reaching Ottawa about sup- 
per-time, June 26th, thus giving a pleasant 
daylight trip through the Eastern Adiron- 
dack mountains. 

The round trip excursion rate will be 
about $22.00 from New York City, which 
includes stateroom berth on boat and par- 
lor-car seat going. 

Tickets will be good returning all rail. 

Rate from Philadelphia will be $4.50 in 
addition to the above. 

This party will be in charge of C. H. 
Brown, Brooklyn public library, and deposit 
covering stateroom berth and parlor car 
seat for going trip will be required later. 

Chicago Party 

(Including the Middle West.) 
A special Pullman train will be run from 
Chicago to Ottawa without change, leaving 
Chicago the afternoon of June 25th, arriv- 
ing at Ottawa on the afternoon of the next 
day. Round trip fare from Chicago to 
Ottawa will be $20.00, lower berth $5.00 one 
way. Reservations for this party should 
be made with John F. Phelan, Chicago pub- 



lic library, and deposit covering Pullman 
will be required later. 

Attractive return trips with low rates by 
way of Boston, New York, Niagara Falls, 
Washington, Norfolk, etc., will be an- 
nounced in the May Bulletin. Special rates 
from points west of Chicago will be made, 
based on the round trip fare from Chicago 
to Ottawa. 

Those returning by way of Niagara Falls 
will have choice either of all rail to Chi- 
cago, or boat from Buffalo to Detroit, with- 
out extra charge. 

Complete information regarding routes 
and rates will be announced in the May 
Bulletin. 

POST-CONFERENCE TRIP 
(July 3rd to July 9th.) 

A post-conference trip is planned on the 
St. Lawrence and Saguenay rivers, ending 
at Montreal on the morning of July 9th. 
The cost of this week-long river trip will 
be well within $40 including stateroom 
(holding two persons), meals and side ex- 
cursions. An outline of this trip follows: 

The party will leave Ottawa on Wednes- 
day morning July 3rd, arriving in Montreal 
for lunch and will spend the afternoon and 
evening in seeing the city, visiting McGill 
University and the Westmount public lib- 
rary. On Wednesday evening, July 3rd, 
the party takes special steamer and pro- 
ceeds down the river, passing Quebec the 
next morning, calling in the afternoon at 
the little French village of Les Eboule- 
ments, and later at Tadousac at the mouth 
of the Saguenay. Between Tadousac and 
Capes Eternity and Trinity occurs the very 
finest scenery on the Saguenay; and this 
part of the route will be traversed while 
the sun is setting and the late moon ris- 
ing, so that the Capes themselves may be 
seen by moonlight. Early next morning 
the steamer will be at Ha Ha Bay, near 
Chicoutimi, and chosen instead of the latter 
as the turning-point of the excursion. Hav- 
ing ascended the Saguenay by night the 
descent will be made by day with a long 
stop at the Capes, and at Tadousac. 
Thence the steamer will cross the St. Law- 
rence, here 18 to 20 miles wide, in order 



AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION BULLETIN 



23 



to give the party an additional taste of 
salt water and also to get the effect of the 
sunset on the northern cliffs. The next 
day will be spent at Murray Bay; the next 
(Sunday) at Quebec. Three Rivers at the 
mouth of the St. Maurice river will be 
reached on Monday morning, and there a 
landing will be made for a day's excursion 
to Shawinigan Falls. On Tuesday morning 
at 6 o'clock the post-conference trip will 
end at Montreal in time for all home-bound 
trains. 

C. H. Gould, McGill University library, 
Montreal, will make all arrangements for 
this trip.

OTTAWA HOTELS 

Headquarters will be at the Chateau Laur- 
ier, the new hotel which has been in course 
of construction for the past three or four 
years and which the management is plan- 
ning to open Empire Day, the 24th of May. 
Rooms (without meals) will be from $1.25 
up to |3.50. Table d'hote dinner will be 
served for $1.00; other meals will be on 
European plan. 

The New Russell Hotel, at present the 
best in Ottawa, is about a minute's walk 
from the Chateau Laurier. Rooms (without 
meals) from $1.00 up to $3.50. Meals on 
European plan. 

Grand Union Hotel, about five minutes'

BIBLIOGRAPHY OF FOREIGN 
BOOKLISTS 

Every now and then the executive office 
has a request for a list of books in some 
specified foreign language, suitable for pub- 
lic libraries. These requests come prin- 
cipally from libraries which have a large 
percentage of foreign born population to 
cater to. A good many libraries have 
compiled reading lists of books in various 
languages which have either been printed, 
multigraphed or typewritten and which 
they would be willing to furnish to other 
libraries at a reasonable price. The Am- 
erican Library Association will be willing 
to compile a list of such material, which 
list when prepared will be printed either 
in the A. L. A. Bulletin or in the other 
library periodicals. Any public library 
which has lists of books in foreign lang- 
uages which it has found serviceable for 
Its own use, and which is in a position to 
give, loan or sell these lists to those de- 
siring them is requested to send one copy 
each of all such lists to the secretary of 
the A. L. A. Please mark conspicuously 
the price or conditions on which each list 
may be secured, both for single copies and 
for 25 or more to the same address. 

We wish to include In such a biblio- 
graphy good reading lists in all the fol- 
lowing languages, or any others in which 
lists may have been compiled: Bohemian, 
Chinese, Danish and Norwegian, Dutch, 
Finnish, French, German, Greek (modern), 
Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Lettish, Lith- 
uanian, Polish, Roumanian, Russian, Ser- 
vian, Spanish, Swedish, Syriac, Turkish, 
Yiddish. 

COMMITTEE ON RELATION OF PUBLIC

Dr. Arthur E. Bostwlck, chairman of the 
Council committee to consider the rela-

ing Samuel H. Ranck, librarian of the

T. Jennings, librarian of the Seattle pub-

NEWBERRY LIBRARY DRAMA LIST 

The Newberry Library, of Chicago, has 
just issued "Materials for the study of the 
English drama (excluding Shakespeare)," 
89 pages. This is a selected list of the 
material in the library. References to pe- 
riodicals are not given as these can readily 
be secured through the regular periodical 
indexes. The Newberry Library will send 
this list free (except for 4 cents postage) 
to any library which would find it of serv- 
ice, until the available number are ex- 
hausted. 

CARDS FOR WARNER LIBRARY 

There is an earnest desire on the part 
of some libraries that cards should be re- 
printed for Warner's Library of the world's 
best literature. The Publishing Board 
printed analytical cards several years ago 
but the stock has long since been com- 
pletely exhausted. Owing to the expense 
of reprinting it has been doubted whether 
a reprint could be made without entailing 
loss. The Board, however, are very will- 
ing to undertake the work if enough sets 
are subscribed for to guarantee there will 
be no loss. The set consists of 949 cards. 
Will those who wish to subscribe for a set 
at a price not to exceed $8, which is less 
than a cent a title, place order at once 
with the A. L. A. Publishing Board, 78 E. 



Washington St., Chicago. It goes without 
saying that the value of the Warner Li- 
brary is many fold increased by a set of 
analytical cards in the card catalog. 

FILES OF A. L. A. BOOKLIST , 
With the help of the numbers of the A. 
L. A. Booklist secured through our "Wants" 
notice in the January Bulletin the head- 
quarters office has succeeded in making 
up six complete sets of the A. L. A. Book- 
list. This file dates from January, 1905, to 
June, 1911, being volumes 1 to 7 inclusive. 
The price per set, complete with title-pages 
and indexes is $10.25. Some of the early 
numbers are becoming very scarce and 
these may be the last complete sets which 
the office will be able to make up. Libra- 
ries which wish to secure a complete file 
should without fail avail themselves of this 
opportunity. 

COMPARATIVE STATISTICS 

Some reprints have been made of the 
table of comparative library statistics in 
the A. L. A. Bulletin of November, 1911. 
These may be had from the executive office 
for 5 cents each. Several librarians have 
reported these statistics of service as a 
part of their statement to the budget com- 
mitte of their city council.

The secretary of the A. L. A. wishes to 
thank most heartily those members who, 
in response to our request, mailed with 
the 1912 membership bills, have secured 
new members for the A. L. A. He would 
be glad to thank each one through a per- 
sonal note if opportunity permitted. These 
members have performed a real service 
to the association and a no less material 
service to those persons whom they have 
thus introduced to the national associa- 
tion. 

Fewer members of the A. L. A. are send- 
ing personal checks without exchange in 
payment of dues this year than ever be- 
fore, and the secretary appreciates this 
heartily, as this expense has heretofore 
been very heavy. Chicago banks charge 
for exchange on personal checks of all 



cities except New York and Chicago. This 
means we are obliged to pay exchange on 
checks of Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, 
Cleveland, Cincinnati, St. Louis and Wash- 
ington, as well as on smaller and more re- 
mote places of the country. Exchange on 
personal checks cost the A. L. A. and the 
Publishing Board combined over $100 for 
the year 1911.

OTTAWA TRAVEL ANNOUNCEMENTS 



A special rate on certificate plan, for the 
meeting at Ottawa, has been granted by 
the Eastern Canadian Passenger Associa- 
tion, by the Trunk Line Passenger Asso- 
ciation, and by the New England Passen- 
ger Association. (These territories cover 
eastern Canadian and United States points 
east of and including Buffalo and Pitts- 
burgh, and north of the Potomac River.) 
This allows, from Canadian points, of a 
free return if 300 or more are in attend- 
ance, and of a fare and one-third for the 
round trip if from 50 to 299 are in attend- 
ance. In the United States, however, from 
Trunk Line and New England territories, 
the rate is full fare going, and if 100 or 
more are in attendance, three-fifths fare 
returning. No reduction whatever will be 
made returning if less than 100 are in at- 
tendance. It will not be necessary that 
the full number of persons mentioned in 
the foregoing should be in attendance 
from each territory, but that the total 
number in attendance from Canadian and 
United States points equals these figures 
both certificates and return portions of 
round-trip tickets to be counted. 

From other points in the United States 
the regular summer excursion rates, with 
thirty days limit in some cases, in others 
an all-summer limit returning. will be 



found to be the most advantageous tickets 
to purchase. 

For those intending to take the post- 
conference trip, certificate plan tickets 
will not be satisfactory, as such require 
return to Ottawa before starting home, 
whereas the post-conference party will 
want to return from Montreal. The sum- 
mer tourist tickets for Ottawa passing 
through Montreal, will allow stopover for 
the post-conference at Montreal on the re- 
turn trip. Persons from the west intend- 
ing to take the post-conference trip should 
purchase round-trip summer tourist tickets 
to Montreal and return, which tickets, if 
via the Canadian Pacific Railway, will per- 
mit passengers to go by way of Ottawa 
with a ten-days stopover for the confer- 
ence, or if via the Grand Trunk Railway 
system, will allow of a free trip from Co- 
teau Junction to Ottawa and return, with 
stopover at Ottawa for the convention. 
The destination of these tickets being 
Montreal, time for the post-conference trip 
will thus be provided. 

To purchase tickets on the certificate 
plan, purchase one-way ticket at regular 
first class fare, and at the time of pur- 
chase ask for certificate for attendance at 
the meeting of the American Library As- 
sociation at Ottawa. This certificate, 



38 



AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION BULLETIN 



when presented to the secretary of the 
Association at the meeting, with 25c for 
validation, will entitle holder to the re- 
duced fare returning as noted above re- 
turning by the same route as the going 
journey, and without stopover. 

Tickets on certificate plan are on sale 
in eastern Canada and eastern United 
States from June 22 to June 28, and are 
good returning until July 11. It will be 
noticed that persons from border points 
in the United States, such as Detroit and 
Buffalo, can, by going over to the Cana- 
dian side, buy certificate plan tickets for 
one-way fare, and will thus be entitled to 
free return home, whereas from United 
States points it will cost more. Find out 
in advance if the station from which cer- 
tificates are desired has them on hand. 

For the benefit of those wishing to 
travel together, three special parties will 
be run to Ottawa as follows: 

A. NEW ENGLAND PARTY 

(Send Pullman fare to F. W. Faxon, 83 
Francis St., Fenway, Boston, Mass., before 
June 15) 

Leave Boston, North Station, via Boston 
& Maine and Grand Trunk Railroads, June 
25, 8 p. m., passing through 

Lowell, Mass, about 8:35 p. m. 

Nashua, N. H., about 8:55 

Manchester, N. H., about 9:30 

Concord, N. H., about 10:10 

Franklin, N. H., about 10:40 

White River Junction, about 12:40 a. m. 

(See summer time schedule for exact 
figures.) 

There will be a special train, if num- 
bers warrant it, of Pullman sleepers, 
otherwise special Pullman sleepers at- 
tached to the regular Montreal express. 
The party is due to arrive at Montreal at 
7:30 a. m., when a breakfast at an ex- 
pense of 75c will be provided at Queen's 
Hotel, near the Grand Trunk station. Af- 
ter breakfast our train will run special to 
Ottawa, due there shortly before noon. 
Send to F. W. Faxon, before June 15, 
amount to secure Pullman accommodation 
desired. Pullman rates from Boston, Low- 
ell, Nashua or Manchester, $2.50 lower 
berth; $2.00 upper berth; drawing-room 
holding three, $9.00. Those from Provi- 
dence, Lynn, Salem, and other nearby 
points will join the party at Boston; those 
from Worcester and Fitchburg, at Nashua, 



N. H.; those from Lawrence, Mass., Ports- 
mouth and Dover, N. H., at Manchester, 
N. H. 

Persons from the Connecticut Valley 
will find it to their advantage to take the 
Springfield-to-Montreal sleeper, due about 
8 a. m., joining the special New England 
party at Montreal at breakfast. Persons 
from main points would take the regular 
Montreal sleeper from Portland, joining 
the party at Montreal. Such persons wil] 
buy their own Pullman reservations to 
Montreal only, and will be provided with 
seat on the Library Special thence to Ot- 
tawa, but should notify Mr. Faxon in ad- 
vance. 

Regular round-trip summer excursion 
rates, Boston to Ottawa, $20.15; one-way 
fare being $11.90. If certificate plan is 
used (by those not desiring post-confer- 
ence or any stopover returning) a saving 
of 85c can be made. 

B. NEW YORK, AND MIDDLE ATLAN- 

TIC STATES PARTY 

(Send Pullman and stateroom fare to 

C. H. Brown, Public Library, Brooklyn, be- 
fore June 15) 

The trip to Ottawa promises to be an 
unusually pleasant one for the members 
from New York, western New England and 
the southeastern states. The regular party 
will leave New York via Albany night boat 
(People's Line), Pier 32, North River, foot 
of Canal street, at 6 p. m., Tuesday, June 
25th, reaching Albany early Wednesday 
morning and leaving Albany at 7 a. m. via 
the Delaware and Hudson. Special parlor 
cars will be reserved for the party at the 
dock at Albany and will run direct to Ot- 
tawa without change, reaching there in 
time for dinner Wednesday night. Din- 
ner Tuesday night and breakfast Wednes- 
day morning can be obtained on the boat 
(service a la carte). A dining car will be 
attached to the train at Albany for those 
who prefer a later breakfast. The dining 
car will be carried to Rouses' Point in or- 
der to provide for the noon meal. The 
early hour of leaving of the boat (6 p. m.) 
will make it possible to see the skyline of 
New York and the palisades before sun- 
set. Fortunately the moon will be almost 
full at this time, and will add to the charm 
of the lower Hudson, which is the most 
scenic part of the river. The day trip 
from Albany takes us in sight of the 
Adirondacks and along the shores of Lake 
Champlain. 

Members are advised to purchase sum- 
mer tourists' tickets, which should read, 
New York to Albany via People's Line, 
Albany to Rouses' Point via D. & H., 



39 



Rouses' Point to Ottawa via Montreal. 
Summer excursion tickets are not sold via 
the People's Line from Philadelphia, Bal- 
timore, Washington and points south of 
New York. Members from these points 
should buy one way or round-trip tickets 
to New York and purchase at New York 
summer tourists tickets to Ottawa and re- 
turn. The summer tourist rates are given 
below. These rates are good for return 
within 3 months limit and permit a stop- 
over at any point on the return trip. 

Albany to Ottawa and return $15.30 

New York to Ottawa and return 18.30 

Round Trip, 
One (10 

Way Days) 

Philadelphia to New York S2.25 

Baltimore " " " 4.65 8.00 

Washington " " " 5.65 10.00 

Summer excursion tickets via the Peo- 
ples' Line are good returning via the day 
line upon payment of 50 cents additional. 
They are also good returning all rail by 
exchanging the tickets at Albany (N. Y. 
Central ticket office), and by payment of 
11.60. 

The rate for parlor car seat from Albany 
to Ottawa is $1.65. The price for steamer 
staterooms, which accommodate 2 persons, 
are $1.00 for inside rooms, $2.00 and up for 
outside rooms. Members who expect to 
join the special party at Albany should 
send their names with deposit of $1.65 for 
parlor car seat to the undersigned by June 
15. Members from New York and points 
south should send by same date a deposit 
of $2.65 (parlor car seat and whole inside 
stateroom), or $3.65 (parlor car seat and 
whole outside stateroom). If members ex- 
pect to share a stateroom, please state 
with whom and deduct from above price 
50 cents for inside room and $1.00 from 
outside room per person. All rooms are 
well ventilated and comfortable, with up- 
per and lower berths. 

If there are 10 or more members from 
New York or Albany, who desire one way 
tickets, it is possible a considerable sav- 
ing may be obtained, if they will notify the 
undersigned by June 10. 

The time table of the special party is as 
follows: 

Leave New York (People's Line) 6 p. m., 
June 25th. 

Leave Albany (People's Line Dock) 7

Leave Saratoga, *8 a. m. 

Leave Montreal, *3 p. m. 

Arrive Ottawa, *7 p. m. 

*Subject to slight change on account of 
summer schedule not yet published. It is 
hoped and expected that a sufficient num- 
ber will join the party to enable us to run 



a special train from Albany, reaching Ot- 
tawa by 6 p. m. 

Inquiries and deposits should be sent 
to CHARLES H. BROWN, 

Brooklyn Public Library.

Stopover at Toronto 

The Trustees of the Toronto public li-

tended a cordial invitation through Mr. 
George H. Locke, librarian of the Toronto 
public library, to spend a half day in To- 
ronto while en route to Ottawa. The A. 
L. A. special train will reach Toronto at 
11:00 a. m., Tuesday, and leave at 10:00 
o'clock that night, arriving at Ottawa on 
the morning of June 26. At Toronto, dele- 
gates will be entertained with a garden 
party at the university, a tour around the 
city, and visit to the public library and its 
branches. This stop-over will be one of 
the most enjoyable features of conference 
week, and all librarians will be glad of 
these few hours in Toronto. This will 
offer a special inducement for persons to 
travel with the A. L. A. party. No extra 
charge for stop-over.

POST-CONFERENCE TRIP 

Montreal, Saguenay and St. Lawrence 
Rivers, and Quebec. 

(Deposit of $5.00, by express or money or- 
der, from each person to be sent Thom- 
as Henry, Richelieu and Ontario 
Navigation Co., Montreal at 
once.) 

As announced in the March Bulletin, 
the Post-Conference trip will consist of a 
six days' excursion on the St. Lawrence 
and Saguenay Rivers, beginning at Mon- 
treal on Wednesday evening July 3rd and 
ending at the same place Tuesday morn- 
ing, July 9th. In addition, the best part 
of Wednesday, July 3rd, will be spent in 
Montreal. The entire cost of the trip will 
not exceed $38.50, including stay in Mon- 
treal, meals, berths and all side excur- 
sions. The itinerary published in the 
March Bulletin will be adhered to except 
that the excursion to Three Rivers and 
Shawinigan Falls will be omitted while an 
extra day will be given to Quebec and its 
environs. On Wednesday evening, July 
3rd, the party takes special steamer and 
proceeds down the river, passing Quebec 
the next morning, calling in the afternoon 
at the little French village of Les Eboule- 
ments, and later at Tadousac at the mouth 
of the Saguenay. Between Tadousac and 
Capes Eternity and Trinity occurs the 
very finest scenery on the Saguenay; and 
this part of the route will be traversed 
while the sun is setting and the late moon 
rising, so that the Capes themselves may 
be seen by moonlight. Early next morn- 
Ing the steamer will be at Ha Ha Bay, 
near Chicoutimi, and chosen instead of the 
latter as a turning-point of the excursion. 
Having ascended the Saguenay by night 
the descent will be made by day with a 
long stop at the Capes, and at Tadousac. 
Thence the steamer will cross the St. Law- 
rence, here 18 to 20 miles wide, in order 
to give the party an additional taste of 
salt water and also to get the effect of the

sunset on the northern cliffs. The next 
day will be spent at Murray Bay. Here 
headquarters will be at the Manoir Riche- 
lieu, and there will be a beautiful drive 
to one of the Falls in the vicinity, while 
for those who prefer it there will be golf. 
Sunday the seventh, and Monday the 
eighth of July will be the days spent in 
Quebec. On Sunday there will, of course, 
be an opportunity of attending services at 
the Basilica and on Monday various points 
of interest, including "La Bonne Sainte 
Anne," and the Falls of Montmorency, 
will be visited. While at Quebec lunch- 
eon will be taken at the Chateau Fronte- 
nac. Les Eboulements has been selected 
as a type of a French village, and Ta- 
dousac, at the mouth of the Saguenay, is 
beautiful, and at the same time full of 
historical associations. The whole route 
from Montreal to Ha Ha Bay is, of course, 
noted for its fine scenery. 

Replies to the circular sent out on 
March llth have not warranted the Travel 
Committee in chartering two steamers. 
The steamer, "Saguenay" has therefore, 
been chartered. She is a fine new steel 
vessel with roomy staterooms, and is com- 
fortable in every respect. Her capacity 
is two hundred and thirty, two in a room. 

Those who intend to take the Post-Con- 
ference trip will please remember that 
the post-cards they have already sent to 
the Chairman of the Travel Committee 
did not secure reservations on the steam- 
boat. 

Applications for staterooms and berths 
should be made now direct to Thomas 
Henry, Traffic Manager, Richelieu & On- 
tario Navigation Company, Montreal, with 
a deposit of $5.00 to secure reservation. 
Choice of room-mate, if any, should be 
stated when applying, because it will not 
be practicable to allot a whole room to 
one person. Applications will be booked 
in order of receipt. 

In assigning staterooms, members of the 
Association and affiliated bodies will be 
given first consideration, and applications 
of those who may join the Association 
after June 1 will not be filled until all 
members in regular standing who may 
wish to take the trip shall have been ac- 
commodated. Accordingly, new members 
who desire to go should at once join the 
Association, sending name and address, 
with $3.00, to the American Library Asso- 
ciation, 78 East Washington Street, Chi- 
cago. 

OTTAWA HOTELS 

Headquarters will be at the new Cha- 
teau Laurier. As a special favor the man- 



ager has consented to conduct the hotel 
on American plan for the conference. 
Rates will be as follows: 

1 in a room without bath... $5.00 per day 

2 in a room without bath, ea. 3.50 per day 

1 in a room with bath 6.00 per day 

2 in a room with bath, each. 4.50 per day 
Applications for room should be made 

direct to F. W. Bergman, manager, Cha- 
teau Laurier, Ottawa, Canada. Reserva- 
tions will be considered in order of re- 
ceipt and accommodations requested will 
be assigned until there shall be no more 
at price and kind desired. Those who ap- 
ply for reservation at the Chateau Laurier 
after supply is exhausted will be assigned 
rooms of as nearly same quality as pos- 
sible at the New Russell Hotel, nearly 
across the street. 

In making reservation state definitely 
accommodations desired, price per day, 
time of arrival, and wishes or arrange- 
ment as to room-mate. Baggage should 
be plainly marked with name of owner, 
followed by "American Library Associa- 
tion, (name of hotel,) Ottawa, Canada." 

New Russell Hotel, until the present the 
best in Ottawa, is about a minute's walk 
from the Chateau Laurier. Rooms (with- 
out meals) from $1.00 up to $3.50. Meals 
on European plan. Apply to manager for 
reservation. 

Grand Union Hotel, about five minutes' 
walk from Chateau Laurier, offers rate 
of $2.50 a day, American plan. Apply to 
manager for reservation. 

There are numerous restaurants and tea 
houses in close proximity for those not 
caring to take meals at hotel. 

OTTAWA 

Nearly three hundred years ago Samuel 
Champlain paddled up the Ottawa, drawn 
by the fairy tales of Nicolas de Vignau, 
whom he afterwards comprehensively de- 
scribed as "the most impudent liar that 
has been seen for many a day." Parkman, 
in words that grasp the imagination, re- 
veals the explorer as he made his way 
into the heart of the wilderness. To-day, 
as one drifts lazily in mid-stream, there 
are still long stretches of the great river 



AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION BULLETIN 



that bring vividly to mind the picture of 
1613; the little flotilla creeping along in 
the shadow of banks clothed to the verge 
in sombre firs. Champlain and his men 
bivouaced on the shore, and were off again 
each morning at dawn. 

"The east glowed with tranquil fire, that 
pierced, with eyes of flame, the fir trees 
whose jagged tops stood drawn in black 
against the burning heaven. Beneath, the 
glossy river slept in shadow, or spread 
far and wide in sheets of burnished 
bronze; and the white moon, paling in 
the face of day, hung like a disk of silver 
in the western sky. Now, a fervid light 
touched the dead top of the hemlock, and, 
creeping down, bathed the mossy beard 
of the patriarchal cedar, unstirred in the 
breathless air. Now, a fiercer spark 
beamed from the east; and now, half risen 
on the sight, a dome of crimson fire, the 
sun blazed with floods of radiance across 
the awakened wilderness. 

"The canoes were launched again, and 
the voyagers held their course. Soon the 
still surface was flecked with spots of 
foam; islets of froth floated by, tokens of 
some great convulsion. Then, on their 
left, the falling curtain of the Rideau 
shone like silver betwixt its bordering 
woods, and in front, white as a snow- 
drift, the cataracts of the Chaudi&re 
barred their way. They saw the unbridled 
river careering down its sheeted rocks, 
foaming in unfathomed chasms, wearying 
the solitude with the hoarse outcry of its 
agony and rage. 

"On the brink of the rocky basin where 
the plunging torrent boiled like a caldron, 
and puffs of spray sprang out from its 
concussion like smoke from the throat of 
a cannon, Champlain's two Indians took 
their stand, and, with a loud invocation, 
threw tobacco into the foam, an offering 
to the local spirit, the Manitou of the 
cataract." 

Had Champlain visions of the future, as 
he turned about and gazed at the lofty 
cliffs of the southern shore? He may have 
seen there a city of the days to be; but 
his wildest dreams never peopled it with 
men of a rival race of that same race 



whose sturdy pioneers were even then 
fighting for a foothold in far-off Virginia. 

In the years that followed, these hills 
looked down upon many a wayfarer, red, 
white and nondescript. Here came the 
Jesuit Fathers, on their way to martyrdom 
among the Hurons; up these waters pad- 
dled Etienne Brul<, Daniel Duluth, Pierre 
Radisson, and many another wild adven- 
turer, half enthusiast, half scamp, drawn 
by the lure of the west, seeking they knew 
not what, but finding half a continent. 
Here, too, came LaVe>endrye, most un- 
selfish and devoted of explorers, on his 
way toward the ever-receding Western 
Sea; and before and after him, to the 
close of the French regime, and far into 
the days of British rule, the army of the 
fur-traders, carrying the gaudy merchan- 
dise of the white man to the utmost con- 
fines of the Indian country, and bringing 
down to Montreal and Quebec rich cargoes 
of peltries. Here, finally, came one Phile- 
mon Wright, a sturdy New Englander, to 
carve the first home in this wilderness, 
within sound of the roar of the Chaudiere, 
and within sight of the hills of future 
Ottawa. 

The visitor of to-day, standing on Par- 
liament Hill, sees the Chaudiere harnessed 
to many industries. On the farther bank 
of the river stands the town of Hull, 
founded by Philemon Wright. Beyond 
Nepean Point, the river named by Champ- 
lain drops its curtain-like falls into the 
Ottawa; on the Quebec shore the Gatineau 
rushes down turbulently from the far 
north; and in the background lie the 
green-clad summits of the Laurentian 
Hills. He stands on the boundary of the 
Province of Ontario, and looks across the 
river to the French province of Quebec. 

With the Chateau Laurier as his head- 
quarters, he may find many points of in- 
terest within easy reach. Crossing the 
bridge built by the Royal Engineers over 
eighty years ago, he finds himself on Par- 
liament Square, with the Eastern and 
Western Blocks on either side, and the 
Houses of Parliament crowning the sum- 
mit of the hill. Entering the Parliament 
Buildings, whose corner-stone was laid by

in 1860, he may find it worth while to 
glance at the House and Senate Chambers, 
and visit the Library of Parliament. In 
the lobbies of the Senate are portraits of 
all the Speakers since confederation, and 
in the Senate Chamber are portraits of 
George III and Queen Charlotte, by Rey- 
nolds. The Speaker's Chambers, on the 
House side, may have some interest as the 
birthplace of Margaret Anglin. In the 
Reading Room, and the Parliamentary 
Restaurant, will be found portraits of most 
of the Governors, and of the Canadian 
statesmen Sir John Macdonald and Alex- 
ander Mackenzie; also an interesting 
portrait of Jacques Cartier. 

On Parliament Hill he will find statues 
of several well-known Canadian states- 
men, and a monument to Queen Victoria, 
the work of the Canadian sculptor Her- 
bert. Passing the Western Block, he 
comes to the Supreme Court building; 
and if he has an eye for the picturesque, 
and some remnant of sentiment, he will 
climb down to the Lover's Walk, and make 
his way around the cliff to his starting- 
point at the bridge. 

Again, he may leave the Chateau and 
walk through Major's Hill Park, to Nepean 
Point, where a monument to Champlain is 
to be unveiled next year, on the three- 
hundredth anniversary of his discovery of 
the upper Ottawa. Below the park, the 
locks of the Rideau Canal drop to the 
Ottawa. The canal was built by Colonel 
By, under instructions of the Duke of 
Wellington, and the corner-stone was laid 
by Sir John Franklin in 1827, on his return 
from the Arctic. From Nepean Point, a 
walk across the park brings him to the 
Archives Building, and the Royal Mint; 
and after visiting these, he can take a car 
down Sussex Street, passing Earnscliffe, 
once the home of Sir John Macdonald, and 
Rideau Hall, the official home of the pres- 
ent Governor General, the Duke of Con- 
naught. He crosses the Rideau River im- 
mediately above the falls, and beyond 
Rideau Hall, enters Rockliffe Park, a mile 
of woodland lying along the banks of the 
river. 



From the Chateau again, he may take a 
Rideau Street car around Sandy Hill, to 
Strathcona Park, on the banks of the 
Rideau, passing the homes of Sir Wilfrid 
Laurier, Mr. Borden, the present Prime 
Minister, Sir Sandford Fleming, the father 
of the Pacific cable, and other notable 
Canadians. Returning along Laurier 
Avenue, he passes the University of Ot- 
tawa. 

A few minutes' walk from the Chateau, 
over the two bridges, and down Metcalfe 
Street, will bring him to the Public Li- 
brary, and at the foot of the same street, 
the Victoria Museum and Art Gallery. 

Boarding a Somerset Street car, a half 
hour's run brings him to the Central Ex- 
perimental Farm, and the Dominion Ob- 
servatory; and another half hour's ride 
takes him to Britannia-on-the-Bay. 

Starting again from the Chateau, he 
may take a Chaudiere car to the Falls, 
visit the lumber slides, pulp and match 
factories, and paper mills, and by crossing 
the bridges to Hull, he can board a Hull 
car and return to the Chateau over the 
Interprovincial Bridge. 

At the Chateau, again, he may take an 
Aylmer car. re-cross the Interprovincial 
Bridge to Hull, and reach the Ottawa Golf 
links in about twenty minutes. Another 
ten minutes brings him to the River- 
mead Golf Club; with the Country Club 
midway between. Passing through the 
French-Canadian town of Aylmer, he 
reaches Victoria Park, the run from Ot- 
tawa being something under an hour. Or 
he may leave the car at the Hull end of 
the Interprovincial Bridge, walk along the 
north bank of the Ottawa to the Gatineau 
River, and cross over to the picturesque 
French village of Gatineau Point. From 
here an old-fashioned ferry (a picture of 
which will be found in Miss Plummer's 
"Roy and Ray in Canada") takes him over 
the Ottawa to Rockliffe Park, and a Sus- 
sex Street car brings him home again to 
the Chateau. 

From the Union Station, C. P. R. trains 
may be taken up the Gatineau Valley, to 
Chelsea, Kirk's Ferry, Wakefield, Kaza- 
bazua and Blue Sea Lake, returning either

INTRODUCTORY TO PROGRAM 

A program's "prosperity lies in the ear of 
him that hears it;" never in the pen of 
him that makes it. Still more surely 
does a program prosper by the tongue of 
him that discusses it. 

For this cause, that the program might 
have every chance to be well discussed, 
the President wished to present to the 
Association, somewhat in advance of the 
conference, a summary of the ideas on 
which the program for the Ottawa confer- 
ence has been based. The responsibility of 
the remainder of the program committee 
for this breach of precedent may be fully 
summed up by saying that they consented 
to indulge the President. 

As the great experiments in democratic 
government are scarcely a century old it 
is not wonderful if many lacks and disap- 
pointments are felt in their results, nor 
that many doubts of their permanence are 
expressed. 

One general agreement seems to prevail 
among critics and doubters: that is, that 
one absolute requisite to possible survival 
of democratic government lies in some 
form of education for every citizen, that 
is, in universal education. 



AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION BULLETIN 



But universal education is a new de- 
mand on civilization and the ever-increas- 
ing immensity and the complexity of the 
undertaking are straining earlier concep- 
tions and methods to the breaking point. 

Two prime necessities in the education 
of the citizens of a safe and fortunate 
democracy are clearly recognized: first, 
the development of intelligence to the 
point that all the enfranchized may be fit 
to vote with at least tolerable wisdom 
education for citizenship; second, that 
each citizen shall acquire skill to render 
such service, to community or to individu- 
als, that its proper reward shall enable 
him to live in comfort education for self- 
support. 

Writers on democracy recognize the 
school's responsibility for giving education 
to equip citizens in these two ways. The 
knowledge which is the foundation of such 
education can be imparted by teachers, 
can be taught in classes. 

There is a third need which has not 
been, perhaps, so clearly recognized as of 
vital moment to the state, but an idea is 
astir in the educational air which shows 
that the wind sets toward it. 

If the state has such need for universal 
education that it must be provided at pub- 
lic expense, it follows that education must 
be so derived and so adjusted that some 
form of it is adapted and acceptable to 
every type and grade of intelligence. This 
idea recurs in educational thought. 

The allied thought is this. Most human 
beings live, or at least earn their bread, 
in submission to environment rather than 
in harmonious response to it. But, in de- 
cent conditions, most human beings have 
an overplus of capacity and energy beyond 
that absorbed by the vocation and, from 
the instinct to live to the full, they break 
over into voluntary activities. 

Now the fact that these activities are 
voluntary implies that they are led by 
taste, and taste is a mysterious thing. It 
is the active agent of that inborn, indwell- 
ing, often largely unconscious "power to 
become" with which heredity endows 
every human being. 

To awake, to stimulate, to develop the 



power of taste is to develop the indi- 
vidual, the distinguishing endowment of 
the human being. When we do what we 
choose to do, because to choose gives joy, 
and the choices recur in a never-ending 
series, the process becomes one of the 
most potent causes, if not the most potent, 
in that unfolding of personality which is 
the end, the true end, of education. 

It will be a long day before the indi- 
vidual taste or aptitude of each child can 
be discovered, stimulated and fed in the 
schools which a democratic government 
can support As each man's rainbow is 
his own, so each man's lure of joy is his 
own, and he starts on the quest led by 
a gleam, never driven by a command. 
Taste is jealous of authority and shrinks 
like a very mimosa from its touch. 

In the meantime, while the school strug- 
gles to see its way, perhaps to point that 
way, there stands a public institution the 
very cornerstone of whose existence is 
ministration to awakened interest, is sat- 
isfaction of individual choice the public 
library. 

In this third need, the need of every 
soul to find and to follow the interests and 
activities which bring joy to his soul, be- 
cause literature is the universal art, 
with gates giving outward upon all life, 
the library, the reservoir of all literature, 
may be the universal, the unfailing re- 
source. 

This, then, was the point of departure 
for the program: should not the library, 
neglecting no other known service, make 
very certain that it fulfills its own unique 
task, that is, to provide and to make 
known the sources of joy? 

If this responsibility were accepted, if 
this task were consciously undertaken, 
would it not alter the spirit and the 
method of some library policies? 

The topics of the program were selected 
with this thought in mind. There has 
been no wish expressed that those invited 
to discuss them should treat them in a 
sympathetic mood. 

Respectfully submitted, 

THERESA ELMENDORF.

ADVANCE REGISTER 

Those who expect to attend the Ottawa 
conference and wish to have their names 
in the advance register should notify the 
Secretary of the A. L. A., 78 E. Washing- 
ton St, Chicago, 111., before June 10th. 

POST CARDS OF LIBRARY BUILDINGS 
The executive office of the A. L. A. 
wishes to form a collection of picture post 
cards of library buildings in the United 
States and Canada. The small collection 
owned by the secretary has been of con- 
siderable service to librarians and trus- 
tees who are planning new buildings, al- 
though, of course, the collection of archi- 
tect's plans is of still greater service. In 
a general way, however, the architectural 



AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION BULLETIN 



53 



appearance of a building may be judged 
from a post card, and a larger and more 
representative collection would be useful. 
We wish central buildings and branches, 
public libraries, college and university li- 
braries, and special libraries. Interior as 
well as exterior views are desired. On the 
card please give the following information: 

1. Cost of buildings shown. 

2. Date of erection. 

3. Book storage capacity (estimated). 

4. State whether erected by city appro- 
priation or by gift of an individual, and if 
the latter case, by whom. 

5. Name of present librarian. 

The collection will be classified accord- 
ing to cost of the building; branches will 
be separated from central buildings; and 
college and university libraries will be 
grouped by themselves. We hope the col- 
lection may be of service to those who 
contribute to it. Address cards to Ameri- 
can Library Association, 78 East Washing- 
ton St., Chicago. 

ANTI-TUBERCULOSIS LITERATURE 

A recent letter from the Secretary of 
the National association for the study and 
prevention of tuberculosis, 105 E. 22d St., 
New York City, contains the following of- 
fer which may interest librarians: 

"The National association for the study 
and prevention of tuberculosis is endeav- 
oring to dispose of a limited number of 
complete sets of the Transactions of the 
Sixth International Congress at Washing- 
ton, and the annual volumes of Transac- 
tions of the National association itself, 
six in all. We are making a special in- 
ducement for those who become new mem- 
bers of the Association, and are offering 
the eight volumes of the International 
Congress Transactions, together with the 
six volumes of the National association's 
transactions, complete from the organiza- 
tion of this Association up to 1910, to- 
gether with a year's subscription to the 
Journal of the Outdoor Life, our anti- 
tuberculosis magazine, all for $5.00 plus 
the membership dues in the Association, 



or $10.00 in all. These books in them- 
selves are a library on tuberculosis, ana 
this offer should appeal to a great many 
of the libraries in your association."

(Signed) Secretary of the Commonwealth. 



AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION 

Organized Oct. 6, 1876; Incorporated Dec. 10, 1879 

This national body was organized in Philadelphia, October 6, 1876, as the immediate result 
of a three days' library conference held in connection with the Centennial exhibition. 

Its purposes are the promotion of library interests, the interchange of experience and opinion, 
the obtaining of larger results from library labor and expenditure, and the advancement of the 
profession of librarianship. 

In addition to advancing library interests generally, the Association aims: 

1. By organization and force of numbers to effect needed reforms and improvements, most 
of which could not be brought about by individual effort. 

2. By co-operation, to lessen labor and expense of library administration. 

3. By discussion and comparison, to utilize the combined experiments and experience of 
the profession in perfecting plans and methods, and in solving difficulties. 

4. By meetings and correspondence, to promote acquaintance and esprit de corps. 

Offices of the Association 

The executive and publishing offices of the Association are at 78 East Washington St., 
Chicago, on the fifth floor of the Chicago public library building. They are open daily from 
nine to five and members visiting Chicago may have mail sent here ana are cordially invited 
to use the rooms. Any changes of address or position should be reported promptly to the exec- 
utive office so that the membership list in the Handbook may be up-to-date and all publications 
may reach members promptly. 

Membership and Dues 

Any person or institution engaged in library work may become a member. The annual 
dues are Two dollars for individuals and Five dollars for institutions, payable in advance on Janu- 
ary 1st. An entrance fee of One dollar must be paid by individuals upon joining or rejoining if 
membership has lapsed. Any individual member may become a hfe member exempt from 
dues on payment of Twenty-five dollars. 

All applications for membership and remittances for dues should be made to the American 
Library Association, 78 East Washington St., Chicago, by money orders or drafts on New York 
or Chicago. If local checks are sent, 10 cents exchange should be added. 

Benefits of Membership 

Individual members receive the Bulletin of the American Library Association published 
bi-monthly and forming an annual volume of over 400 pages, one number of which is the official 
Handbook and another the Proceedings of the annual meeting; they enjoy special travel and 
hotel rates, all conference privileges and hospitalities, and are entitled to vote for officers of the 
Association. Every library worker whose name is on the membership list and who pays the 
annual fee, helps thereby to more effective work by the Association, which in turn will accrue 
to the benefit of the individual member. 

Institutional (Library) members, in addition to the Bulletin, will receive the A. L. A. Book- 
list (10 issues a year), an annotated buying list of current books suitable for large and small 
libraries. Every library member may send one delegate to all meetings of the Association, who 
shall be entitled to all privileges of an individual member. 

Libraries may ask Headquarters for information on any library subject.

ENDOWMENT FUNDS 

Following the meeting of 1890 and 
through the efforts of the Trustees section 
to collect a permanent fund "for publish- 
ing the proceedings of the association," 
the Endowment fund (see sec. 5 of Consti- 
tution) was established. It amounts now 
to $7,286.84. To this fund was added in 
1902 the Carnegie Fund of $100,000 given 
by Andrew Carnegie as a special fund, the 
income of which shall be applied to the 
preparation and publication of such read- 
ing lists, indexes and other bibliographic 
and literary aids as would be specially 
useful in the circulating libraries of this 
country. By vote of the Council, the Car- 
negie fund has been placed in charge of 
the trustees of the Endowment fund. Full 
information as to the investment and con- 
dition of these funds will be found on 
pages 47-49 of the "Bulletin" for May, 1909. 

A. L. A. Pin. Price $2.50. 

The design is a combination of the let- 
ters "A. L. A." in gold and enamel. Send 
money with the order to the Secretary, 78 
East Washington St., Chicago, and the 
pin will be sent from the factory. 



A. L. A. PUBLISHING BOARD 



History. The Publishing Section of the 
American Library Association was organ- 
ized in 1886 to further co-operation among 
libraries in preparing and publishing bib- 
liographies, indexes and special catalogs. 
In 1900 the organization was changed and 
the work placed in charge of a Publishing 
Board of five members, appointed by the 
executive committee of the Association. 
In 1902 Mr. Andrew Carnegie gave a fund 
of $100,000, the income from which is to 
be applied to the preparation and publi- 
cation of desirable library aids. 

Publications. On the following pages is 
a list of the books already issued or in 



preparation. A special feature of the bib- 
liographic work is the annotations made 
by specialists.

tions.

SECTIONS OF THE ASSOCIATION 



By means of a system of sections the 
practical usefulness of the A. L. A. meet- 
ings has been considerably enlarged. The 
section meetings, while open to all, pro- 
vide especially for the needs of each 
class of workers, and afford more oppor- 
tunity for the discussion of details. The 
regular, or undivided, sessions are thus 
left free for subjects of general interest 
and the consideration of routine matter 
concerning the entire association. 

Six of these sections maintain a formal 
organization from year to year, and take 
under consideration questions relating 
more particularly to their own province. 
They are as follows: 

COLLEGE AND REFERENCE SECTION 

which dates from a first meeting of the 
college librarians held in 1889. Since 
then, meetings have been held regularly. 

The committee on arrangements for the 
1913 program and meeting are: Andrew 
Keogh, Yale university library; N. L. Good- 
rich, Dartmouth college library, and Miss 
Sarah B. Askew, organizer of the New 
Jersey public library commission, Trenton. 

TRUSTEES SECTION 

has had a permanent organization since 
the meeting of 1890. 
More boards of trustees are each year 



recognizing the practical value of having 
their librarians attend the meetings, allow- 
ing them not only the time, but also neces- 
sary expenses in many cases. Equally 
significant is the increasing number of 
trustees who find that it pays to attend 
the A. L. A. meeting each year. By com- 
paring views, and advising with each 
other on their peculiar duties, mutual aid 
is rendered toward the efficient discharge 
of the public trust committed to them. 
Some of the meetings of trustees are held 
jointly with the librarians interested in 
supervisory problems; others with trus- 
tees only present, thus favoring the joint 
and separate discussion of salaries, laws, 
vacations, rules for the staff, and other 
questions in which librarians have a per- 
sonal interest that modifies their judg- 
ment. 

Officers for 1912-13 are: Chairman, W. T. 
Porter, Cincinnati; secretary, T. L. Mont- 
gomery, State library, Harrisburg, Pa. 

CATALOG SECTION 

was established by action of the Council 
in 1900 and has met at each conference 
since the Waukesha meeting in 1901, ex- 
cepting at St. Louis in 1904, when no sec- 
tion meetings were held. 

At the Mackinac Island conference the 
Catalog section completed its organization

by the adoption of a constitution and by- 
laws. Officers for 1912-13 are: Chairman, 
Miss Harriet B. Gooch, Pratt Institute, 
Brooklyn, N. Y.; Secretary, Margaret S. 
Mackay, McGill university library, Mon- 
treal. 

LIBRARY WORK WITH CHILDREN 

At the Montreal conference in 1900 an 
informal meeting was held for the purpose 
of personal acquaintance and co-operation 
among those actively engaged in library 
work with children. As a result of this 
meeting the Club of children's librarians 
was formed, and, in recognition of this 
movement for closer organization and 
wider discussion in this field than was af- 
forded at the general sessions of the 
A. L. A., the executive board, in November, 
1900, established this section, which held 
its first meeting at Waukesha in 1901. 

Officers for 1912-13 are: Chairman, Effie 
L. Power, Public library, St. Louis, Mo.; 
Vice-chairman, Alice Goddard, Washington 
county free library, Hagerstown, Md.; 
Secretary, Hannah M. Lawrence, Wash- 
ington county free library, Hagerstown, 
Md. 



PROFESSIONAL TRAINING 

This section was established by vote of 
the Council of A. L. A. on June 26, 1909, 
upon petition signed by the members of 
the Committee on library training. Its 
first meeting was held at the Bretton 
Woods conference and its second meeting 
took place at the Mackinac Island con- 
ference when constitution and by-laws 
were adopted. 

Officers for 1912-13 are: Chairman, 
Frank K. Walter, New York state library 
school, Albany, N. Y.; Secretary, Agnes 
Van Valkenburgh, New York public library 
school, New York. 

AGRICULTURAL LIBRARIES SECTION 

At the Mackinac Island conference a 
round table of librarians of agricultural li- 
braries was held, at which it was voted 
to request the Council of the A. L. A. to 
create an agricultural libraries section. 
Conditions having been complied with, this 
was done at the Pasadena conference in 
1911. The chairman of the section for 
1912-13 is Claribel R. Barnett, Dep't of 
Agriculture library, Washington, D. C. 



AFFILIATED ORGANIZATIONS 



Acting under section 16 of the constitu- 
tion and upon applications formally made 
by the proper officers, the Council has reg- 
ularly affiliated with the American Library 
Association the following national organ- 
izations of kindred purpose. These socie- 
ties meet annually at the time and place 
of meeting of the A. L. A., their members 
enjoy all privileges of members of the 
larger body as to railroad and hotel rates 
and conference hospitalities, their proceed- 
ings are included in the A. L. A. confer- 
ence volume and they are often formally 
represented by designated delegates upon 
the program of the Association.

A REVIEW OF THE YEAR 



As the calendar year, which is also the 
Association fiscal year, draws near its close, 
it may be well to review briefly some of the 
items of progress that the A. L. A. has made 
during 1912. 

It is particularly gratifying to note that 
membership in the A. L. A. has materially 
increased. During the past year 411 new 
members have been added, 27 of which were 
institutional members; making the present 
net membership in the Association 2,365. 
The Canadian membership was naturally 
considerably increased, due to holding our 
1912 conference in the Dominion, 94 Cana- 
dians now being enrolled as against 19 for 
the previous year. We hope these will all 
retain their membership and interest, even 
though the conference may be held in some 
other part of the Association territory. 
There are 7 members in the U. S. dependen- 
cies and 26 in foreign countries, leaving a 
balance of 2,238 members in the United 
States. These are so thoroughly distributed 
that there are members in all of the 48 
states and the District of Columbia. In the 
coming year it is hoped that the member- 
ship will pass the 2,500 mark. This in- 
crease in the number of members has nat- 
urally increased the aggregate amount re- 
ceived from dues, so that receipts have In- 



creased from $5,325.46 for 1911 to about 
$6,225 for 1912. 

Those who attended the Ottawa confer- 
ence are well nigh unanimous in pronounc- 
ing it one of the best in the history of the 
Association. In point of attendance it 
ranked third, being only exceeded by the 
meetings of 1902 and 1906. The excellence 
of the program was such as to make it 
worthy of mention among the features of 
the Association year. Several of the papers 
have been reprinted and may be secured 
in pamphlet form, as noted elsewhere in 
these pages. 

A number of committees have done work 
this year that spells progress. After several 
years of effort and failure, the Committee 
on co-operation with the N. E. A. succeeded 
in securing on the main program of the 
N. E. A. conference a place for an accred- 
ited delegate from the A. L. A. Dr. Arthur 
E. Bostwick, librarian of the St. Louis pub- 
lic library and ex-president of the A. L. A., 
was our official representative and gave an 
address at the Chicago meeting of the 
N. E. A. in July. A special committee ap- 
pointed to investigate the relations which 
should exist between a tax-supported public 
library and the municipal authorities made 
its first report at the Ottawa conference.

AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION BULLETIN 



This was of such importance and far reach- 
ing consequence that the report has been 
reprinted in pamphlet form and the Asso- 
ciation is endeavoring to give it wide pub- 
licity. The committee appointed two years 
ago to investigate the deterioration of news- 
paper paper has also made progress during 
the year and has made careful studies 
based on chemical experiments which give 
promise of affording some practical help to 
a serious problem. The other standing and 
special committees have also rendered serv- 
ice and made helpful reports. 

A number of state library associations 
have as usual had A. L. A. representatives 
this fall at their annual meetings. The 
president of the A. L. A. attended the meet- 
ing in Ohio, the Illinois-Missouri joint meet- 
ing, and the joint meeting in South Dakota 
of the state library association and the 
state education association. The secretary 
attended the New York meeting and the 
Illinois-Missouri meeting. Dr. Bostwick, ex- 
president of the A. L. A., delivered ad- 
dresses at the Minnesota and North Dakota 
meetings; Mr. T. W. Koch, member of the 
Executive Board, was the official A. L. A. 
delegate at the Indiana meeting, and in Feb- 
ruary, Mr. Roden, treasurer of the A. L. A., 
was the Association's representative at the 
Wisconsin meeting. 

The A. L. A. Publishing Board has had a 
remarkably successful year. The most 
noteworthy publication has been the A. L. 
A. Catalog, 1904-11, which appeared in July, 
and of which 3,410 copies have already been 
sold, proving conclusively that it filled a 
well-defined need and also evidencing the 
value of the 1904 edition of the Catalog as 
shown by the demand for the continuation 
volume. The sales have been the heaviest 
of any year in the history of the Board, ris- 
ing from about $8,500 in 1911 to what will 
probably be nearly $15,000 by the end of 
December, 1912. The headquarters office 
has made a special effort to reach all li- 
braries of the United States and Canada 
and the important ones of Great Britain 
with information regarding the publications 
of the Association. During the year 20,005 
pieces of first-class mall, and about 20,000 



pieces of circular matter have been sent out 
from the executive office. 

The importance of the headquarters of- 
fice, as shown by the nature and bulk of its 
correspondence, has materially increased 
during the year. The office is more or less 
of a clearing house for all kinds of library 
information, a place where information 
either may be secured or else where the in- 
quirer may be directed to the proper source 
from which it may be obtained. In this 
way particularly a headquarters office 
seems to be justifying its existence. 

CHICAGO MID-WINTER MEETINGS 

The mid-winter meetings in Chicago will 
be held this year, Wednesday to Saturday, 
January 1st to 4th, 1913. Headquarters will 
again be at the Hotel Sherman, corner of 
Randolph and Clark streets, four blocks 
west of the Chicago public library. Rates 
are as follows: Single rooms with bath, 
$2.00 per day up; double rooms with bath 
(two in room), $3.00 per day up. Every room 
has a bath. Requests for reservations 
should be made direct to the Hotel Sher- 
man. Meeting rooms and committee rooms 
will be provided free, request for which 
should be addressed to the hotel. The di- 
rectors of the Chicago public library have, 
however, as usual placed at our disposal the 
directors' room on the fifth floor of the li- 
brary building, and directly adjoining A. L. 
A. headquarters, and unless otherwise 
stated meetings will be held there. Hours 
for meetings will be 9:30 a. m. and 2:30 
p. m. 

The League of Library Commissions will 
meet Wednesday, January 1st, both morn- 
ing and afternoon, and on Thursday morn- 
ing, January 2d. The meetings will be in 
charge of the president, Mr. Carl H. Milam, 
secretary of the Indiana library com- 
mission. Sessions will be held at the Hotel 
Sherman. 

The college and university librarians of 
the middle west will meet in Chicago on 
Friday and Saturday, January 3d and 4th. 
The first session will be held in the Assem- 
bly Room of the Harper memorial library 
of the University of Chicago at 2 p. m. Fri-

day, January 3d; the second session in the 
directors' room of the Chicago public li- 
brary on Saturday, January 4th, at 9:30 
a. in. 

The sessions will be of the same informal 
character as in preceding years. The topics 
for discussion will be selected chiefly from 
the following: 

Classification of literature, particularly 
modifications of the D. C. as worked out in 
various university libraries. 

It is expected that representatives from 
several libraries will report. 

Report on recent library buildings, par- 
ticularly the Harper memorial library and 
the University of California library. 

Specialization in college libraries. 

Co-operation between college libraries. 

List of American doctoral dissertations. 

Inter-library loans. Report to cover 1912. 

Cameragraph. 

Collection and preservation of news- 
papers in college libraries. 

Standing of the college library in the uni- 
versity. 

University library reports and statistics. 

Methods of securing symmetry and 
growth of the different departments of a 
college library. 

Open shelves.

board at the Chateau Laurier, has been lost.

LIBRARY PLANS 

Thanks to the courtesy of the respective 
librarians and architects, the A. L. A. head- 
quarters has secured the plans of several 
important new library buildings, including 
those of Springfield, Mass., Somerville, 
Mass, (building now in process of erection), 
Elizabeth, N. J., Sioux City, Iowa, and 
Youngstown, Ohio. Plans of several other 
buildings have been promised. These add 
very greatly to the value of the already ex- 
cellent and valuable collection of library 



plans at the executive office. We hope all 
members of the Association are aware that 
any of these plans may be borrowed, and 
retained for three weeks, the only expense 
incident being expressage both ways. The 
collection is frequently drawn on by library 
boards and trustees in all parts of the coun- 
try and also in Canada. 

LIBRARY FORMS AND BLANKS 

The executive office wishes to secure cop- 
ies of all new and important blanks and 
forms in use by various libraries, especially 
those which contain important modifica- 
tions over previous practice. Without doubt 
many librarians use certain forms and 
blanks in their work that have proved help- 
ful and which may not be generally known 
among other libraries. The headquarters 
office would like to have copies of all such 
items for the purpose of making a file which 
will be of service to all members of the As- 
sociation. It may also be feasible to men- 
tion briefly in the Bulletin from time to time 
particularly suggestive and helpful forms, 
in order that they may become known to a 
larger number of persons. 

LIBRARY DEDICATION PROGRAMS 

The executive office would like to make a 
collection of library dedication programs, 
and would very much appreciate receipt of 
two copies of all such programs from all li- 
braries, large or small, which have held ded- 
ication or opening exercises in the past ten 
years or so. 

NEW A. L. A. PUBLICATIONS 

Several new publications have been is- 
sued by the A. L. A. Publishing Board dur- 
ing the past six months. 

A. L. A. Catalog, 1904-1911. This of 
course is the chief publication of the year, 
and one of the most important for several 
years. It contains an annotated list of about 
3,000 of the best books published since the 
A. L. A. Catalog of 1904 was printed. The 
books are classed according to the decimal 
classification, with thorough author and 
subject indexes. Children's books are listed

separately. Appendices list those books in 
the 1904 catalog which are now out of print, 
and those which are now issued in new edi- 
tions. This is unquestionably the most val- 
uable guide for the purchase of recent 
books which can be had. Certainly any li- 
brary which has not yet purchased a copy 
should do so at once. Price is $1.50, post- 
paid. 

How to Choose Editions, by Wiliam E. 
Foster, librarian of the Providence public 
library. "At no time," says Miss Martha T. 
Wheeler, of the New York state library, in 
the introduction, "does the young librarian 
feel his limitations more than when sud- 
denly called upon to decide which among 
many editors of a famous classic he 
should order." Mr. Foster considers that 
the six points of selection are (1) text 
(whether unabridged or not), (2) editor, 
(3) size, (4) type, (5) paper and ink, 
(6) binding. This pamphlet is issued as 
Handbook No. 8, and is well worth a care- 
ful reading by any librarian or member of a 
book committee. Price, 15 cents. 

Notes From the Art Section of a Library, 
with hints on selection and buying, by 
Charles A. Cutter. This tract, printed by 
the Board in 1905, has long been out of 
print, and has now been reprinted by special 
request. The material consists of lectures 
delivered before the New York library 
school in 1903, but the advice is still timely 
and valuable. Price, 5 cents. 

Aids in Library Work with Foreigners, 
compiled by Marguerite Reid, of the Provi- 
dence public library and John G. Moulton, of 
the Haverhill public library. Reprinted 
from the Massachusetts Library Club Bulle- 
tin. It contains lists of books for learning 
English for non-English speaking people, 
grammars and handbooks in foreign lan- 
guages; books about the United States for 
foreigners; and aids in selecting foreign 
books. It contains also an article by Miss 
Reid on "Our New Americans," which will 
help librarians to understand better the 
point of view of foreigners who come, or 
whom we try to get to come to our libraries. 
Price, 10 cents. 

Two new chapters of the A. L. A. Manual 



of Library Economy are in the press as this 
Bulletin goes to press, and will be ready by 
the time these notes are read. The follow- 
ing are the titles: 

Chapter 5. Proprietary and Subscription 
Libraries, by Charles K. Bolton. Price, 10 
cents. 

Chapter 10. The Library Building, by 
W. R. Eastman. Price, 10 cents. 

Several papers read at the Ottawa con- 
ference have been reprinted in pamphlet 
form from the Proceedings Number of the 
A. L. A. Bulletin. These are for sale at 10
