CONFERENCE, 1921 Swampscott, Massachusetts, June 20-27 THE FORTY-THIBD ANNUAL CONFERENCE Of the American Library Association will be held at the New Ocean House, Swampscott, Massachusetts, June 20-27, 1921. Swampscott is twelve miles from Bos- ton and is one of the "finest among the many summer resorts along the beautiful North Shore. Here, facing the wide ex- panse of Massachusetts Bay, and fronting upon a broad curving sandy bathing beach, stands the New Ocean House, a long es- tablished, well-known and widely popular resort hotel. During the past two years it has been greatly enlarged, re-arranged and beautified, its capacity much increased. With expanded facilities, its attractive en- vironment makes it an ideal spot for a restful summer sojourn by the sea." "The New Ocean House consists of two distinct portions: the Main Hotel, and the Annex, a splendid seven-story building. The Main Hotel has 160 rooms and 80 bath- rooms, the Annex 68 rooms and 66 bath- rooms. For the accommodation of patrons who prefer the privacy of cottage life, there are upon the grounds of the hotel, and in close proximity to it, four cottages of from eight to twelve rooms each." Mr. Faxon, chairman of the A. L. A. Travel Committee, reports that "the hotel can accommodate, in its main house, seven- story fire proof annex, and four private cottages, 705 people provided there are two in all rooms, and, in the larger rooms, with the aid of cots, three, four, five and six young ladies are quartered." "I feel sure," Mr. Faxon says, "that with the size of the rooms and the facilities, there will be no kick about thus doubling up in the few big rooms." Other hotels and boarding houses within reasonable distance will accommodate per- haps 600 more. The dates, June 20-27, were selected by the Executive Board because they will not interfere with most college commencement exercises. Special railroad rates may be available; it is too early yet for definite information. In any case Swampscott is included among the New England summer resorts to which regular summer tourist rates are some- times available after the first of June. The program is in the making. Only one thing is certain, namely, that a confer- ence near Boston will inevitably have a distinctly "literary" flavor. It may per- haps be not too much to hope that libra- rians this year will have an opportunity to be entertained by some of New England's most distinguished men of letters. In selecting the meeting place for 1921 the Executive Board considered numerous hotels and cities. An invitation from Southern librarians to meet somewhere in the South was given special attention. Richmond and Asheville were both able to offer satisfactory accom- modations, but the Board, remembering Washington and Louisville, thought a Southern meeting must necessarily be an early meeting. This seemed particularly undesirable in 1921, in view of the fact that the meeting in 1920 was so early as to be a great inconvenience to college libra- rians. The Board also took into account the fact that the President this year is con- nected with a University, and must, in spite of her presidency, conform to univer- sity schedules. Mr. M. S. Dudgeon states that those who go to A. L. A. and other meetings at the expense of cities or states or at the ex- pense of the federal government are en- titled to get railroad tickets without tax. BULLETIN CHICAGO MID-WINTER MEETINGS The Mid-winter meetings at Chicago were attended by 238 persons. The A. L. A. Council held two sessions one of which was a joint meeting with the League of Library Commissions. The League of Library Commissions held two other meet- ings and there were one or more confer- ences of the University Librarians, the College Librarians and the Normal School Librarians. Meetings were also held 'by the Executive Board, the Publishing Board and the Committee on Education. JOINT MEETING OF COUNCIL AND LEAGUE OF LIBRARY COMMISSIONS December 28, 1920 An open meeting of the Council and League of Library Commissions was held at the I^tSalle Hotel, December 28, 1920. Miss Alice S. Tyler, president, presided. Library Support and Library Revenues Mr. S. H. Ranck of Grand Rapids, Mich., read a paper on "Sources and Responsi- bilities of Library Revenues." This was followed by a paper on the same subject by Judge Ora L. Wildermuth of Gary, Ind. It is expected that both of these papers, in part at least, and some report of the discussion which followed, will appear in the library periodicals. The following persons took part in the discussion: Dr. A. E. Bostwick, Miss Linda A. Eastman, Henry N. San born, Miss Grace D. Rose, Miss Mary Eileen Ahern, Adam Strohm, Mrs. Elizabeth Claypool Earl, M. S. Dudgeon, Wm. J. Hamilton, Wm. F. Yust, J. L. Wheeler, Dr. Frank P. Hill, Miss Anna MacDonald, Miss Julia A. Robinson. The President announced that the A. L. A. Conference in 1921 will be held at Swampscott, Mass., June 20-27. COUNCIL MEETING December 29, 1920 An open meeting of the Council and League of Library Commissions was held at the LaSalle Hotel, December 28, 1920. Miss Alice S. Tyler, president, presided. Field and Function of a National Pro- fessional Organization. Mr. Henry N. San- born, Bridgeport, Conn., read a paper on this subject. (This paper has been printed in Library Journal for Jan. 15th, and a summary of it is being printed in February Public Libraries.) Mr. H. H. B. Meyer, in discussing Mr. Sanborn's paper, said that in his opinion nothing would so advance the interest of library affairs in the vicinity of Washing- ton as a regional association which would take in the states of Virginia, West Vir- ginia, Maryland and the District. Miss Ahern said "There is no question but that the Regional Association is com- ing. I had a strong letter this week from a librarian in the state of Nebraska who points out the fallacy of their belonging to a state association and belonging also to the A. L. A. with nothing in between. My own preference had been for one strong national association; and I may say, when I read this letter from the Nebraska libra- rian, I had a complete reversion to the other point of view." "Indiana is very anxious to become a part of the A. L. A.," said Mr. William J. Hamilton, of Indianapolis. "We are not satisfied at all to have 350 or 400 members of our Indiana Library Association and only 100 or 125 members of the A. L. A. We want to see some arrangement by which every single member of the I. L. A. can become automatically a member of the A. L. A. I am very certain that any plan presented by the A. L. A. for a federation with state associations will have the hearty approval of the librarians of Indi- ana. We want to be a part of the national organization. We are not content with our state association alone." The President asked whether the addi- tion of regional meetings to the annual conferences, the mid-winter meetings and the various state meetings would not per- haps make too many library meetings, and AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION suggested a discussion of biennial meet- ings versus annual meetings. Miss Julia A. Robinson, of Iowa, thought the Iowa Library Association would be heartily in favor of group and regional meetings. Mr. Meyer expressed the hope that regional meetings would rather re- duce the total number of meetings than increase the number. His opinion was that many states might eliminate at least some of their state meetings because they would be satisfied with their regional meeting. Serious objection to any proposed aban- donment of state meetings was voiced by Miss Anna MacDonald of Pennsylvania and by others. Mrs. Elizabeth C. Earl, of Indiana, stated that the General Federation of Women's Clubs holds national and state meetings biennially. St. Louis Will Form Local Group "My idea about regional organizations," said Dr. Bostwick, of St. Louis, "is that we should encourage the formation of lo- cal groups of members of the A. L. A. in small localities wherever we possibly can. Those groups can be formed without any authority from the A. L. A. For instance we have in mind the formation of one in St. Louis at a very early date, probably within a few weeks, and we shall do it whether we are authorized to do so by the A. L. A. or not. The people who were born in Ohio can get together in St. Louis and form an association in St. Louis and the people with red hair and blue eyes can get together and form an organization, and I can see no objection to people belonging to the American Library Association get- ting together and saying that they will further the interests of the A. L. A. in that locality. "But I can see the wisdom of our laying down a few brief suggestions for their work and the way in which the organiza- tion is to be carried on." Dr. Bostwick said that instead of hav- ing members of the Library Staff ask, "What is there in it for us to join the A. L. A.?" they would ask, "How can I get into it?" For if they want to belong to the local organization they must first join the A. L. A. Membership Dues Several persons discussed the question of whether the A. L. A. and the various regional or state groups could have one annual membership fee, which would cover membership in all the organizations. It was suggested that it might be advisable to have one membership which includes the Proceedings in the Handbook and an- other membership which does not include these publications. The amount would be perhaps $5.00 and $2.00. The question having been raised, the President asked how many favored an in- crease in the annual dues. Nearly all raised their hands but no count was taken. Discussing the proposed plan of electing officers by mail, Mr. Ranck called attention to the fact that this sometimes results in the election of people who are well known but who will not give any attention to the business in hand. "It seems to me," said Mr. Carl B. Roden of the Chicago Public Library, "that we might pause a moment and consider whether we are so very certain that we want to draw this straight and sharp line between a welfare organization and a pro- fessional organization. It doesn't seem to me that we are at the crossroads, the point of departure, where we have to de- cide whether we shall be either one or the other." He urged that no steps be taken which will prevent the A. L. A. from "trying to preach its gospel over the country in the places where it is not the function of any- one else to preach that gospel." Mr. Sanborn stated that Mr. Roden had misunderstood what he (Mr. Sanborn) had said in his paper, that there was nothing whatever in the suggestions made that would prevent the A. L. A. from doing what Mr. Roden had in mind. In addition to those mentioned above, the following persons took part in the dis- BULLETIN cussion: P. L. Windsor, F. P. Hill, J. L. Wheeler, C. E. Rush, J. C. M. Hanson, O. S. Rice. Ex-President Hadley's Suggestions The following suggestions from Mr. Had- ley based on his presidential address at Colorado Springs, were read by the Sec- retary. Some preliminary suggestions for a con- sideration of ways and means of bringing the American Library Association and li- brary workers into closer relation and co- operation for their mutual benefit and for promoting the welfare of libraries in America, particularly through promoting the welfare of library employees. It is suggested: First: That Section 14 of the A. L. A. constitution be amended to read: "The Council shall consist of the Executive Board, all ex-presidents of the Associa- tion who continue members thereof, all presidents of affiliated societies who are members of the Association, and repre- sentatives from state, provincial and ter- ritorial library associations to be elected at the annual meetings of such associa- tions, on the "basis of one representative from the association having a membership of fifty or less, and one additional rep- resentative for each additional one hun- dred members, the representative in all cases to hold personal membership in the American Library Association." "Members of such state, provincial or territorial association who belong to the American Library Association shall con- stitute a state chapter of the American Li- brary Association if such is approved by vote of such Association, and local groups of American Library Association members within such state or geographical division desiring to organize may become a local chapter of the American Library Associa- tion registered under the state chapter." Second: It is suggested that the Amer- ican Library Association issue charters for the organization of these state, provincial, or territorial associations as integral parts of the American Library Association and in those charters it shall define the proper and improper activities of these working units of the American Library Association. Third: It is suggested that the American Library Association, through and with the cooperation of these state, provincial or territorial associations, endeavor to stabil- ize and secure fair and just salaries for employees in the various grades of library ' service, and endeavor also to secure for all library employees proper hours of work per week, vacation and sick leave time. It is suggested also that recommenda- tions made by the American Library Asso- ciation on salaries, hours of work, sick leave time, etc., be made available for lo- cal use 'by A. L. A. chapters, and that cir- cular letters advocating proper salaries and working conditions be sent by the American Library Association to the in- dividual library trustees of such library institutions as may be designated from time to time by the state or local chapters of the A. L. A. It is also recommended that the Amer- ican Library Association give personal as- sistance when possible and when request- ed to do so, to its state and local chapters when questions affecting salaries, hours of work and the general welfare of library employees are being considered by these chapters, and that the A. L. A. assist in every possible way to advance and stabil- ize library salaries as the means to do so present themselves in the proposed closer relations between the American Library Association and its members. In discussing Mr. Hadley's suggestions, Dr. Bostwick said he thought the plan was too elaborate; that what we wanted was something very simple. "It sems to me," said Dr. Bostwick, "that state chapters of the A. L. A. are a great mistake. They conflict with state organizations. The as- sociations I propose would be in towns where there are no associations." Mr. Hamilton of Indiana expressed the opinion that a large number of state asso- ciations would be perfectly willing to merge themselves with the A. L. A. and to lose their identity as state associations. Others who took part in the discussion on this subject were Dr. C. W. Andrews, Henry N. Sanborn, Miss Mary Eileen Ahern, S. H. Ranck, W. M. Smith, O. S. Rice, Adam Strohm, Miss Linda A. East- man and F. W. Schenck. Committee on Publications The following report was presented: The committee appointed to report to the Council on the constitutionality or advis- G AMERICAN LJBRARY ASSOCIATION ability of the employment of a publisher by the Executive Board, begs to report its recommendation that this matter 'be re- ferred to the Publishing Board for such disposition as in its judgment may seem proper. ARTHUR E. BOSTWICK, Chairman. The other members of the Committee were Messrs. A. S. Root and M. G. Wyer. The report was approved by a vote of 19-1. Statement by Treasurer Mr. Tweedell presented a report on the status of War Service, Enlarged Program Campaign and Books for Everybody Funds. (See pages 12-13.) There was some discussion of the War Service Continuation work. Committee on Committees At the suggestion of the president it was Voted: That the President appoint a Committee on Committees, to report to the Council. It was understood that the purpose of this Committee is to draft a 'brief state- ment showing what is the work of each Committee, and also to make recommenda- tions as to the Committees which should be created or discontinued. LEAGUE OF LIBRARY COMMISSIONS The annual meeting was held on De- cember 28-29th. Thirteen states were rep- resented. The discussion covered, "Entrance re- quirements for summer schools," "Library buildings for small towns," "Branch libra- ries in schools," "Uniform traveling li- brary record blanks," "Proposed legisla- tion" (see page 16), and "Indiana mini- mums." The officers elected were: President, Wm. C. Watson, New York; first vice-president, Wm. J. Hamilton, In- diana, for 1 year; second vice-president, Mary P. Palmer, North Carolina, for 1 year; member at large, Milton J. Fergu- son, California, term to expire January, 1924; secretary and treasurer, Anna May Price; members at large, terms holding over, Elizabeth Wales, Grace E. Kings- land. A joint session was held with the A. L. A. Council on the afternoon of the 28th. (More detailed reports will undoubted ly be found in the library periodicals.) COLLEGE LIBRARIANS The Conference of College Librarians oi the Middle West was held as usual at the Hotel LaSalle, Chicago, on Monday, De- cember 27th. Various topics dealing with college li- brary problems were introduced by the different members and informal discus- sions followed. Special mention should be given an interesting paper read by Mr. J. C. M. Hanson of the University of Chi- cago on the "Library of Congress Classifi- cation." Miss Ada M. Nelson, Knox College, Galesburg, Illinois, was elected chairman for the next meeting. NORMAL SCHOOL LIBRARIANS Reading Lists and Exhibits Over twenty Normal school librarians met Monday, December 27, 1920, at the La Salle Hotel to discuss the topics previous- ly suggested. Most of those present agreed that in- stead of preparing reference lists, a bet- ter way is to obtain lists prepared by larger libraries and check them. Some li- brarians had prepared special card indexes of fairy tales, material on picture study and stories in readers. While most of the li- braries represented owned picture collec- tions usage was about evenly divided be- tween classification by the Decimal class- ification and alphabetical arrangement by subject. In many instances industrial ex- hibits and slides are housed in the libra- ry and it was suggested that specimens of common minerals and mounted specimens of common birds used in the elementary school also be made available through the library. Teaching the Teachers In the afternoon the time was spent dis- cussing teaching the use of the library and similar topics. Only one librarian taught the children in grades 1-6, but more taught simple reference books to the pupils in BULLETIN the Junior high school and some course was quite generally taught in the Normal schools; either the use of reference books and catalog or some simple technical work. Practice varied in teaching chil- dren's literature, some of the courses being taught by the teachers of English and some by the librarians. The demand for teacher-librarians seems to be centralized in one or two states and in these states the course is popular. In other states where there is no demand it was not taught. Mr. Arthur Cunningham, librarian of the state Normal school at Terre Haute, Ind., was appointed chairman for next year. COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION A meeting of the A. L. A. Committee on Education was held at the Hotel LaSalle, Dec. 27-28. It was decided to ask each State Libra- ry Association to appoint a Committee on Education to cooperate with the A. L. A. Committee on Education in developing public opinion in each state with regard to library standards. The desire Is to set up standards for school library and public library cooperation to be met in each state. State aid is desirable because it gives a basis of control. Without it commissions are advisory only. To set up the standards a survey will be taken through a brief questionnaire as to the requirements needed for educa- tion, training and experience, emphasis being placed upon equal rank with the teachers in the various communities. The standards decided upon must be backed by the A. L. A. Certification Board. The question of the degree which should stand for graduate library work was taken up. It was decided to confer with the Association of American Library Schools. It seems advisable in view of the present urgent call for library workers to establish regional Library Schools at various state universities. Discussion of Dr. Sherman Williams' proposed points of activity for the N. E. A. Library Section brought out the fol- lowing suggestions: 1 Substituting for "library in every school," "books in every school." It was felt that the word library would in many cases be a misnomer. 2 The salary of the school librarian to be the same as that of a teacher of equal education and professional training. 3 The training of school librarians in Nor- mal School Libraries was questioned as lacking the view point of the Public Li- brary work. This difficulty, however, could be obviated and the value of nor- mal training for school librarians re- tained by requiring a stated amount of practice during the training period in public library work particularly in refer- ence work and with children. The combination of the State Depart- ments .of Education and of the library commissions seems open to danger from political influence and office holding by persons without library knowledge. When such combinations are contemplated by a state the preliminary steps should be that the State Board of Education be removed from politics and that the Commissioner of Education be thoroughly interested in library affairs. The earnest promotion of the plans of the various education sections of the A. L. A. and of the Library Section of the N. E. A. should form a large part of the committee's work. Finally: 1. The committee wishes to urge that each community take immediate steps to place its public librarians and its school librarians upon an equal footing with the teaching force in the community. 2. That each public library be related to the school library service. At the request of the Chairman, Mr. Kerr sent a communication giving exten- sive suggestions for the future activities of the committee. MARTHA C. PRITCHARD, Secretary. HARRIET A. WOOD, Chairman. AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION EXECUTIVE BOARD MEETINGS Cleveland, Ohio, December 18. 1920 The meeting of the Executive Board was held in the Cleveland Public Library, Cleveland, Ohio, December 18, 1920. Present: Miss Tyler, president; Misses Tobitt, Eastman and Krause, Messrs, Utley, Strohm, Root and Meyer and Mr. Milam, secretary. Secretary's Report: The Secretary pre- sented a written report on the work done since the last Board meeting, including also monthly financial reports on all funds. Transfer of Library War Service Activi- ties: Mr. Meyer presented a supplement- ary report. Voted: That the Board approve the rec- ommendations of the Committee in regard to the library service at Coblenz, and that the services of Miss Wyeth be retained for six months longer at $175 per month. Voted: That the Secretary and Chairman of the Committee be authorized to accept the informal verbal offer of the Red Cross to pay the salaries for hospital library work after January first, pending transfer to the Public Health Service when this offer is made in writing; that it be under- stood that the A. L. A. obligates itself to refund the amount expended only in case it receives the anticipated sum from the United War Work Campaign Fund. Voted: That the Secretary be instructed to lay before the welfare organizations the matter of magazine subscriptions for the hospital service for the coming year, ask- ing them to provide the necessary money; and that the Secretary report at the next meeting of the Executive Board. Voted: That the recommendation of the Committee regarding the Merchant Marine as embodied in this supplementary report be approved and adopted. Mrs. Henry Howard of Cleveland was invited in to discuss with the Board the problems connected with the continuance of the Merchant Marine Library Service. Mrs. Howard informed the Board that she expected to go to New York about the first of January to urge the co-operation of the shipping interests in the formation of a United States Mercantile Marine Library Association. She suggested the need of publicity about the Merchant Marine Li- brary Service and asked to be supplied with all available information as to ship- ping men who had been solicited for dona- tions. Voted: That a sum not to exceed $500.00 be appropriated to advance the proposed transfer of the Merchant Marine Library Service, such sum to be subject to the recommendation and control of the Chair- man of the Committee on the transfer of Library War Service activities. Voted: That the Executive Board author- ize Mrs. Howard, as a representative of the A. L. A., to present this matter before the ship owners and the other interests that may be concerned, with a view to the organization of a Marine Library Associa- tion. Upon invitation Mr. G. A. Marr, secre- tary-treasurer of the Lake Carriers Asso- ciation, was present for a brief time to consult with the Board concerning the plans for transferring the Merchant Ma- rine Library Service on the Great Lakes to some other organization. Mr. Marr was asked whether the Lake Carriers Associa- tion would be likely to co-operate in the maintenance of Library service with a Marine Library Association, if such an As- sociation should be formed. He replied that his organization is much interested in the service and would undoubtedly like to see it- continued but that he could not state whether the Association would be willing to co-operate in maintaining a Ma- rine Library Association. He thought they might prefer, if they undertook the work at all, to carry it on through their own machinery. Mr. Marr left the meeting with the un- derstanding that the situation stands as it had formerly been presented by the Sec- retary to the Lake Carriers Association; that if any modifications were to be made in our proposals they were to be made in writing and preferably before the Janu- ary meeting of his Board. Enlarged Program Campaign: On the recommendation of the Committee or BULLETIN 9 Ways and Means (Mr. Strohm, Miss Krause and Mr. Root) , it was Voted: That in view of the necessity of presenting a final report of the A. L. A. Enlarged Program Campaign at the Mid- winter meeting in Chicago, the Secretary be requested (1) To prepare a final statement of same as of date December 24. (2) That moneys and new pledges re- ceived after that date, December 24, shall not be credited as part of contributions for the Enlarged Program, but will be accept- ed as gifts to the A. L. A. (3) That the Executive Board will not countenance any further appeals for En- larged Program funds for the A. L..A. after this date, December 18. (4) That the Secretary inform all re- gional directors that those who fail to re- port by December 24 as to moneys col- lected and pledges received, including re- mitting of unexpended balances of their respective campaign funds, must necessar- ily be reported as delinquent. Voted: That in interpreting the recom- mendation of the Committee on Ways and Means in the following resolution* con- cerning Enlarged Program funds, passed at the last meeting of the Board, the reso- lution shall not apply in cases where con- tributions were given for specific purposes. Finance Committee: Mr. Utley reported on behalf of the Finance Committee, rec- ommending the approval of the following audits: American Library Association, Report on Examination of Accounts for the year end- ed June 30, 1920. Report on Examination of Accounts of Publishing Board for the year ended June 30, 1920. Report on the accounts of all activities of the Association, June 30, 1920. Voted: That the audits submitted in the Finance Committee's report be accepted. Mr. Utley, as chairman of the Finance Committee, reported that officers and em- ployees were being bonded as follows: Treasurer, $10,000.00; secretary, Miss Ford and Miss Ames, $2,000.00 each. Voted: That bonds required of A. L. A. (The resolution referred to is as follows: Voted: That if when the campaign returns are all received the total amount does not approximate the goal, an opportunity be of- fered to community chests and large givers, . K. $100.00 and upwards, to revise their sub- scriptions in proportion to the total amount received.) officers and employees as recommended by the Finance Committee be approved. Transfer of Funds: Voted: That the Treasurer is authorized and directed to transfer the sum of $1,037.20 from the American Library Asso- ciation Books for Everybody Fund to the American Library Association War Funds, to reimburse the latter fund for bills paid for the publication of certain books for the blind. Voted: That $20,000.00 of the balance now in the American Library Association Campaign Fund be transferred to the American Library Association War Funds. A note from the Treasurer explained that the James L. Whitney Fund, amount- ing to $562.46, is now deposited as a sav- ings account in the Union Trusi Company, drawing three per cent interest, and that Liberty Bonds may now be purchased at a price to yield much greater return. It was, therefore Voted: That the Treasurer is hereby au- thorized and directed to withdraw the bal- ance, or such an amount as may be deemed necessary, of the James L. Whitney Fund, and he is hereby directed to invest such amount in Liberty Bonds, the interest cou- pons to be deposited in the savings ac- count. 1921 A. L. A. Conference: The Secretary presented information about the possibil- ity of holding the Conference at Asbury Park, Asheville, Boston, Richmond and West Baden. The following resolution passed by the Southeastern Librarians' Conference was read by the Secretary: "RESOLVED: That the librarians of the Southeastern states in conference at Chat- tanooga, November 12, 1920, urge the American Library Association to hold its 1921 conference in the South. The great and rapidly expanding interest in libraries in the South would be greatly stimulated by the inspiration of the American Library Association sessions. No conference has been held in the Southeast since 1907 and the A. L. A. members in this section are eager for the opportunity to enjoy an A. L. A. meeting in their own Southland." After discussion of the places named, Asheville and Richmond received unfavor- able votes. Meeting adjourned. 10 AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION Chicago, Illinois, December 28, 1920 The meeting of the Executive Board was held at the Hotel LaSalle, Chicago, 111., December 28, 1920. Present: Miss Tyler, president; Misses Krause and Eastman, Messrs. Meyer, Strohm, 'Utley and Root, Mr. Milam, sec- retary, and Miss Bogle, assistant secretary. Financial Reports: Dr. Frank P.

Until these become available, the Finance Committee recom- mends that expenditures be confined to the other income of the Association. The Committee, therefore, approves the budgeting of the following amounts for ex- penditure for 1921: General Funds $19,159.02 Publishing Board 25,395.03 War Funds 40,150.00 $84,704.05 GENERAI, FUNDS Estimated Income Balance, Jan. 1, 1921 Union Trust Company. .$7,129,02 National Bank of Re- public 250.00 '$7,379.02 Membership Dues Annual dues 11,000.00 Life memberships 300.00 11,300.00 1,800.00 '2,800.00 400.00 4,000.00 3 8,300.00 80.00 Due from Publishing Board, 1920.

It is sufficient to protect the 14 Board against a failure to receive during the year the $2,800 due from the Publishing Board for 1921. 8 No A. TJ. A. War Service Headquarters will be maintained in 1921. All of the fin- ishing up work will be done (so far as it can be done by Headquarters) from the Chicago office. The amount of hold-over work is con- siderable, enough apparently to occupy a very large part of the time and energy of the Headquarters staff. The sum set aside for the Headquarters Service is the same as that paid in 1920.

To the Executive Board: The Finance Committee finds that the estimated receipts for the Books for Every- body Fund, on March 1st, were as follows: Books for Everybody Fund Estimated Receipts, March 1-December 31, 1921 Total cash, February 28th $59,166.16 Refunds To War Funds for loan $15,074.31 Immigrant Publication Society 2,000.00 Campaign Fund 1,197.43 18,271.74 $40,894.42 BULLETIN 73 Refund to War Funds for Books for Blind. 1,037,20 $39,857.20 Unpaid pledges 21,206.69 Although one-half of this should be collected in 1921, none of it is included in the proposed expenditures for this year. The amount of cash available (March 1) is 39,857.20 From this should be set aside as an Endowment Fund, one-half of $40,894,42, namely 20,447.21 Leaving a balance available for appropriation of $19,409.99 The cash contributions for special purposes amount to $12,095.55, less $1,037.20 al- ready spent for books for the blind; net $11,058.35. It seems desirable to spend first the donations for special purposes in order that those purposes which were in the minds of the donors may be accomplished as soon as possible. It is desirable also to reserve some of the general funds for further addition to the endowment fund when the pledges (which are chiefly for special purposes) have been paid. (The Committee recommends that, if possible, only funds given for general purposes be put into the endowment fund.)

The amount included in the budget must cover some other work now in process. It is proposed that the $12,057.75, if appropriated for the above purposes, be used as follows (in co-operation with appropriate committees) : Salaries (general assistant giving special attention to printing and publicity; stenographer, extra help) Publication of books for the blind (under the supervision of the Committee on work with the blind) Appropriation to Committees Survey (Committee of five) $500.00 National certification 500.00 Recruiting 100.00 1,100.00 3,000.00 2,062.25 Printing and publications 2,600.00 Supplies, postage, travel, miscellaneous 1,550.00 Transfers for merchant marine, hospital and coast guard service 1,745.50 $12,057.75 74 AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION The Finance Committee approves an expenditure of $12,057.75 in 1921 and the trans- fer of $20,447.21 to the Endowment Fond. Although it makes the foregoing suggestions for the expenditure of this amount, $12,057.75, it feels that the Executive Board should have a free hand to make such ap- propriation of it as it deems proper, and feel under no obligation to adopt this sug- gested schedule of expenditures.

Accountants and Auditors Carl H. Milam, Secretary, American Library Association, Chicago, Illinois. Dear Sir: In accordance with your instructions, we have prepared and now submit in the following statement a summary of receipts and disbursements of the First and Second War Service Funds from the date of in- ception, August 1, 1917 to December 31, 1920. This summary was compiled from the data submitted in our previous reports and includes the amounts expended by the war finance committee in conducting the First and Second campaigns, and the amounts expended by the committee on en- larged program, from sums advanced by the War Service Funds at various times amounting in all to $202,340.00. By action of the Board it was voted that certain of the advances made amount- ing to $137,265.69, be cancelled leaving a bal- ance of $65,074.31. Of this balance the sum of $45,000.00 had been returned by the committee prior to December 31, 1920 and the remainder during January, 1921. Yours truly, MARWICK, MITCHELL & Co.

A. conferences in recent years have offered more attractions then the Swampscott meeting in June. Several men and women of national prominence will be on the program, to talk about public questions of special in- terest to librarians. Some of America's foremost authors will be there to read from their works or to talk intimately about them. The points of local interest are unsurpassed anywhere in America. All the affiliated national organizations and some which are not affiliated, all the sections and some groups which are not sections, will hold meetings. Those who usually attend the national library meetings will not think of missing this one, and many who have not before attended such a meeting, or who attend infrequently, will be attracted to this con- ference. MANY library positions are filled as a result of meetings and recommenda- tions made at the annual conferences. Those persons who desire to take advan- tage of the A. L. A. Headquarters Employ- ment Service in securing librarians or as- sistants or in securing positions, are re- quested to notify A. L. A. Headquarters be- fore the time of the conference. The for- warding in advance of full information re- garding positions to be filled or a clear statement of the applicant's qualifications and the kind of position desired will greatly facilitate the handling of these matters at Swampscott. During the conference, the assistant secretary, Miss Bogle, will be glad to meet librarians and discuss their employ- ment needs. Definite hours for such meet- ings will be announced. PROMPTNESS in being present at the hour named for beginning the sessions of the coming Conference is of the utmost importance and will be of great assistance to the presiding officer. Every member can be of help in this simple matter and thus enable the programs to move prompt- ly and begin and end on time. At the business sessions it is essential that enough members meet promptly in order that necessary business can be cared for expeditiously; and courtesy certainly de- mands our presence when speakers are scheduled for a certain hour. npHERE are now (April 30) 5,093 mem- J_ hers of the A. L. A. On December 31, 1920, there. were 4,464. This is a gain in four months of 629 or 14.1%. But there are hundreds, perhaps thou- sands, of other persons library workers and library trustees who ought to be in- vited and urged to join the American Li- brary Association. Every member of the Association who is willing to assume, with the Membership Committee and the of- ficers, a part of the responsibility of ex- tending the membership is making a con- tribution to the library movement. 78 AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION The Minneapolis Public Library now has a 100% A. L. A. membership, not counting the nonprofessional workers in the library. Pratt Institute Library School, Class 1921, shows a 100% membership in the A. L. A. Unfortunately, the full list of names was received too late for inclu- sion in the May Bulletin. With four exceptions the staff of the Omaha Public Library is 100% A. L. A. The exceptions are apprentices or other persons who have been in the library service less than one year. All the members of the Western Re- serve Library School class have joined the A. L. A. All the members of the senior class of the New York State Library School are members of the A. L. A. Four trustees of the new public library at Roanoke, Virginia, have joined the A. L. A. Don't let your membership lapse. Mem- bers whose dues are in arrears after the annual conference must be dropped from the membership list. THE educational bill now before Con- gress (H. R. 7, the so-called Smith- Towner bill) deserves careful considera- tion by all librarians. It offers an opportun- ity to all those interested in library promo- tion and progress to consider the place of the library movement in national educa- tion. The time has come for us to decide what we think the government should do for the library as an educational agency. Should a Department of Education be created? If so, should there be a Bureau of Libraries in that department? Should libraries share in the provision made for "studies and investigations in the field of education?" Should libraries share in the proposed federal grants for extension (as provided for in section 9) ? If a national Council of Education is created, should there be library representatives on it? For years the claim has been made that the public library is an integral part of public education. How should provision be made for Federal recognition of it? Although the educational bill is receiv- ing the careful attention of an active A. L. A. Committee on Federal and State Re- lations, and although the Association has by formal vote approved the bill in its original form, the questions involved are too far-reaching and too important to be neglected by any member of the library profession. Special attention is called to sections 3, 4, 5, 9 and 17 of the bill in its present form. EVERY few days A. L. A. Headquarters receives a request for material for a magazine article on some phase of library work. To meet this demand our supply of pic- tures, "stories" and facts from libraries all over the country should be constantly renewed. Articles actually written or partly written are especially useful. There are never enough good pictures with action. Subjects of special interest now are: Salary schedules and compilations (not so much for publicity use as for use In correspondence.) County Libraries. Library buildings, plans and pictures. Samples of library publicity (especially publicity for support.) Children's work. Work with the foreign born. /T^HE publication of "Plays for Chil- J. dren" by Miss Alice I. Hazeltine, has been delayed because of the critical illness and death of Miss Hazeltine's mother. It will probably be ready in May. For full an- nouncement, see the March Bulletin. The second title in the "Viewpoint Se- ries" is in the printers hands. It is "Viewpoints in Biography," by Katherine Tappert. Price 60 cents. A short Christmas Jist of books for Children by May Massee and Sarah C. N. Bogle is in preparation. Suggestions and suggestive lists will be welcomed. BULLETIN FACTS FOR TRUSTEES THOSE interested in popular education look largely to library trustees to lead the way in the development of the library movement as distinct from library prac- tice. Trustees are interested, not in the library as a library, but in its results. Because they are not handicapped by familiarity with details of practice they have an opportunity to get and keep a vision which will 'be a constant challenge to library workers. They will be the first to recognize the need for compulsory library legislation, the first to dream of the possibility of state support on a large scale. They are the people who think in the biggest terms, whether it be of service or of funds. May we not expect of trustees who have accepted these large responsibilities a close and active affiliation with the na- tional and international library organiza- tion? May we not hope to draw from them and from their meetings at the na- tional conferences something which will lift these conferences above the common- place discussion of everyday library prac- tice? The A. L. A. has had for years the nucleus of a Trustees Section. Large num- bers and new enthusiasm can make of that Section an important agency in the promotion of education in America. It is to be hoped that this year's con- ference, held within easy reach of hun- dreds of library trustees, will be attended by a larger number than ever before. A note about the program of the Trustees Section will be found on page 9. THE salaries range from $12,500 to $2,- 500 per year. The average salary is $6,647, the median salary $6,000, the most frequent salary $6,000. These are facts about salaries of 77 presidents and chan- cellors in universities and colleges which are maintained by states and municipal- ities. In 1916 95% of Milwaukee's grade teachers were paid less than $1,200. To- day 100% receive no less than $1,200 and many receive $2,400. (From Milwau- kee Teachers' Salary Campaign.) From 1913-14 to 1919-20 salaries, of school librarians including assistants have increased 47.8%, school nurses 54.3%. (from "Know and help your schools.") Teachers' salaries in American cities 1914-20 showed an increase of 61%. (Strayer, American City, November, 1920.) By the budget formally adopted by the Detroit Board of Education, January 12. 1920, the average increase for the entire group of teachers was 92.4%. (Detroil Educational Bulletin, No. 1, 1920.) The table below shows the amount given in 1920 by 11 representative states to public education. Do you know how much the same states give to public li- braries? Public school cost paid State by State New York $14,091,800 Minnesota 6,073,063 Iowa 411,500 Missouri 2,887,622 Wisconsin 3,853,817 Pennsylvania 10,973,537 New Jersey 11,500,000 California 8,973,127 Massachusetts 4,070,000 Ohio 2,761,106 Texas 12,000,000 The president has appointed Miss Kath- arine M. Wead, librarian of the Univer- sity of Nanking, as a member of the Sub- committee on library work in the Far East of the A. L. A. Committee on library co-operation with other countries. Miss Cornelia Marvin is chairman of the sub- committee, Miss Mary E. Ahern, chairman of the general committee. Any group of people interested in a spe- cial subject and desiring to hold a round table meeting should notify the secretary immediately so that a room may be as- signed and appropriate mention made in the program. 80 AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION TABLE SHOWING GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION OF OLD AND NEW MEMBERS Alabama Dec. 31, 1920 38 New, Jan.l- Apr. 30, 1921 15 Total Apr. 30, 1921 53 8 1 9 Arkansas 10 1 11 California 208 26 234 Colorado 75 4 79 Connecticut 112 10 122 Delaware 13 1 14 District of Columbia Florida 132 15 15 1 147 16 Georgia 41 12 53 Idaho 13 13 Illinois 378 37 415 Indiana 182 30 212 Iowa 93 11 104 Kansas 45 9 54 Kentucky 38 1 39 Louisiana 11 .0 11 Maine 29 1 30 Maryland 43 6 49 Massachusetts 335 44 379 Michigan 226 23 249 Minnesota 134 46 180 Mississippi e 6 Missouri 101 56 157 Montana 19 5 24 Nebraska 42 15 57 Nevada ... 1 o 1 New Hampshire 42 6 48 New Jersey 149 10 159 New Mexico 5 o 5 New York 678 66 744 North Carolina 23 2 25 North Dakota 24 1 25 Ohio 254 65 319 Oklahoma 26 4 30 Oregon 78 11 89 Pennsylvania 259 23 282 Rhode Island 42 14 56 South Carolina 13 13 South Dakota 21 3 24 Tennessee 30 3 33 Texas 62 g 70 Utah 13 1 14 Vermont , 22 3 25 Virginia Dec. 31, 1920 20 New, Jan.l- Apr. 30, 1921 6 Total Apr. 30, 1921 26 Washington 100 12 112 West Virginia 7 1 8 Wisconsin 124 9 133 Wyoming 11 11 Canada: Alberta 5 1 6 British Columbia. . . .

"Yet, though man grows in truth from more to more, Old forces through our mystic being sweep ; The soul remembereth its holy lore; Some moods habitual to mankind we keep; We believe; though time forever on the scroll Buries the early writing of the soul." GEOBGB EDWARD WOODBEBRY. AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION LIBRARIES IN EDUCATION 1. All pupils in both elementary and secondary schools should have ready ac- cess to books to the end that they may be trained: (a) to love to read that which is worth while (b) to supplement their school studies by the use of books other than textbooks (c) to use reference books easily and effectively (d) to use intelligently both the school library and the public library. 2. Every secondary school should have a trained librarian, and every elementary school should have trained library serv- ice. 3. Trained librarians should have the same status as teachers or heads of de- partments of equal training and exper- ience. 4. Every school that provides training for teachers should require a course in the use of books and libraries, and a course on the best literature for children. 5. Every state should provide for the supervision of school libraries and for the certification of school librarians. 6. The public library should be recog- nized as a necessary part of public in- struction, and should be as liberally sup- ported by tax, as are the public schools, and for the same reasons. 7. The school system that does not make liberal provision for training in the use of libraries, fails to do its full duty in the way of revealing to all future cit- izens the opportunity to know and to use the resources of the public library as a means of education. The above statement is recommended by the following committee for adoption by the Library Department of the N. E. A.: J. I. Wyer, Walter Brown, Annie S. Cut- ter, Lucile F. Fargo, H. A. Hollister, Flo- rence M. Hopkins, Willis H. Kerr, C. G. Leland, O. S. Rice, Mary C. Richardson, Alice Tyler, Harriet A. Wood, Adeline E. Zachert. CLASSIFICATION OF NAVAL LIBRARIANS E United States Civil Service Com- . mission has classified naval librarians under the professional, scientific, and tech- nical service. This recognition should in- sure a proper maintenance of standards. It will make possible the retension of many of the able men and women who have already done such excellent work in naval libraries and also will attract strong people to apply for positions as vacancies occur. The announcement of examination, open to men and women, for station librarian May 11, 1921, contains the following: Subjects and Weights Competitors will be rated on the following subjects, whick will have the relative weights indicated: Weights 1. Library economy, cataloging, classification, and bibliography. 25 2. Thesis (to be submitted to the examiner on the day of the ex- amination) 25 3. Education, experience, and fit- ness . 50 Total 100 Thesis Under the second subject appli- cants must submit to the examiner on the day of the examination a thesis, prefer- ably typewritten, of not less than 1,000 words, on one of the following subjects: 1. Methods of organizing, building up, and arranging a library at a military or naval station with a complement of 10,- 000 men. 2. The enlarged program of the Amer- ican Library Association. 3. Methods of guiding and encouraging reading by men of military age. 4. Significant lines of recent develop- ment of American libraries as applied to Army and Navy work. 5. Outline what you conceive to be the duties of a librarian in a naval 01 military community of 10,000 men. BULLETIN 89 THE STORY OF LIBRARY WAR SERV- ICE PUBLISHED IN FRENCH* TT^DOUARD CHAMPION has just pub- tv lished a French- edition of Theodore Wesley Koch's "Books in the War," trans- lated by Abel Doysie" under the title "Les Livres & la Guerre." The book is a large oc- tavo of 428pages in addition to 147 full page illustrations, many of which are not found in the English edition. The charming in- troduction by Burton E. Stevenson, giv- ing his resume" of Library War Service, is not available in any other form. There is also a brief preface by Marshal Foch, which (in the words of the publisher) is "like a salutation of the sword." There is a new chapter on the American Li- brary in Paris. The book is therefore much more than a mere translation of the English edition and many American li- braries will be interested in securing a copy. The translation is being well received in France. M. G. Remon, who is in- terested in a special library for the furni- ture makers and wood carvers of Paris, has reviewed the French edition in the Radical, March 26, 1921. He characterizes the work as one of the "livres bienfais- ants" (welfare books) "those which spur us on to useful actions." On every page we find, says M. Remon, helpful and in- spiring accounts of the admirable cam- paign undertaken by the Americans to supply the combatants with good books. It is no exaggeration, says he, to speak of a vertible "mobilization of books." He feels that the organization of these war time circulating libraries has a bearing on peace time problems. And that is why, he says in conclusion, "the reading of this fine work, filled with anecdotes and with technical information, profusely and ingeniously illustrated, will appear singularly attractive to all those in France who are interested in the means for de- veloping up-to-date public library serv- ice." M. Georges Girard devotes consider- able space in L'Opinion of March 18, 1921 to a summary of the book. He speaks of the "admirable work" of the A. L. A. "which has had the happiest results." The A. L. A., says he, had the honor to furnish free books to the four and a half million men who made up the American army. "Happy Sammies who found books even in their guard houses!" "How can you help smiling when you compare such a work with the feeble at- tempts which were made by the French," is Mr. Girard's comment. "No doubt there was some uneasiness as to the intellectual needs of the army and dreams about sat- isfying them. The realization was how- ever very imperfect, and all that was ac- complished in any satisfactory manner was due to private enterprises." Gen- eral Lyautey's order of October 27, 1917 is cited as indicative of an interest in the matter, but unfortunately this was more or less a personal concern and an isolated case, and consequently unfruit- ful. Lyautey had hoped for recreation halls with a varied selection of good lit- erature including books on economics and practical subjects. Books and maps on Morocco, for example, should be readily accessible to the troops who were to be sent out there. Moreover, in Lautey's opinion, these recreation halls or assembly rooms should be among the first to be set up in a new camp, for they furnish protection against the army blues which is the first of the enemies to be fought in an isolated army post.

AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION COLORADO SPRINGS CONFERENCE* FOURTH GENERAL SESSION (Friday afternoon, June 4) President Hndley presided. The Secretary read the report of the War Service Committee for the year end- ing June 1, 1920. Thereupon the motion that the report be adopted was made, seconded and carried. Dr. Montgomery then moved that the various committee reports of which printed copies had been distributed be of- ficially received and filed. The motion was carried. Dr. Andrews read the report of the Finance Committee. He stated that the formal report covered the accounts of the American Library Association for the last year, and the Budget for 1920. A supple- mental report covers the accounts up to the transfer of the funds from the cus- tody of the former treasurer, Mr. Roden, to the new treasurer, Mr. Tweedell. Dr. Andrews stated that the accounts of Mr. Roden had been found correct and that the balances shown at the date of transfer had been transferred to Mr. Tweedell, and acknowledged by him. Dr. Andrews ex- plained that the Executive Board had taken possession of the War Service Fund and that in justice to himself and the Finance Committee he wanted it under- stood that the supplementary report cov- ering the activities carried on with that Fund was not the work of the Finance Committee. A motion that the report be received and filed was made, seconded and carried. The President then introduced Dr. Bishop, chairman of the Committee on revision of the constitution, who said: "A special meeting of the American Library Association was called at Chicago in January of this year to consider the revi- sion of the constitution. That meeting de- *This report was unintentionally and re- grettably omitted from the published pro- ceedings. Separates of this report are avail- able for those who wish them. voted two sessions to the matter, and a transcript of the proceedings was pub- lished in the January Bulletin. At Chi- cago the Association went into the com- mittee of the whole for the purpose of discussing informally the draft presented at that meeting by the Committee on re- vision. It spent two full sessions in dis- cussing this revision informally. That committee did not report to the Associa- tion. The situation is simply this. The proposed revision has been discussed in- formally and certain expressions of the sense of the Association sitting as a com- mittee of the whole have been made on many of these provisions. The Commit- tee on revision has been governed by the wishes of the Chicago meeting. There are only two points in which the Com- mittee felt it due to itself to express dis- sent from the Chicago action. These are noted in the printed report which is now before the Association for action. In order to be carried, any of these changes must receive a three-fourths vote of the members present and voting." The proposed draft of the constitution was then read, discussed, and voted on section by section. The following mod- ifications were made in the constitution proposed by the Committee on revision. (Bulletin 14: 120-26.) A motion to substitute "interested" for "engaged" and to strike out "and others after election by the Executive Board" in Section 3 carried by a vote of 103 to 23. Voted that Section 9 be adopted as rec- ommended by the Committee excepting that "executive officer" be substituted for "librarian" in line 7. Voted that "vice-president" in line 8 of section 11 be made "vice-presidents;" that "1920" in line 10 read "1921;" that "three years later" be substituted for "in 1923" in line 16, and that "four years later" be substituted for "in 1924" in line 17. BULLETIN 91 Voted that there shall be added to Sec- tion 12 the sentence, "The election of a member of the Executive Board to the office of President, Vice-President, or Treasurer shall create a vacancy in the Board." Voted to add the word "rank Ing" before the word "vice-president" in line 8 of Section 12. Voted 77 in favor and 55 against adopt- ing section 15 as printed. Voted to amend Section 16 by substi- tuting the word "Council" for "Execu- tive Board" in lines 4 and 5 and by substituting "Council" for "Board" in lines 6 and 7. In Section 19 the word "vice-president" in lines 2 and 3 was made "vice-presi- dents." In Section 20 line three the phrase "of the Association" was inserted before the word "and." In line 4 of Section 23 "meetings" was changed to "meeting." In line B )f Section 23 the words "may be called t>y the President" and were added after the word "meetings." Voted to add to Sec lion 23, "Twenty members shall con- ititute a quorum of the Council." Voted to add to Section 24, "and no such resolutions other than votes of hanks shall be adopted without such ref- erence." Voted to add after the word "for" in ine 2 of Section 25 the word "gen- >ral." Voted to add after "inviolate" In ine five the sentence "Gifts for special mrposes accepted by the Association shall >e kept in separate funds which shall be nvested and kept inviolate." Voted to idd after 'he word "direct" in line six he words "in accordance with any condi- .ions made by the donors and in con- (onance with the approved policy of the \ssociation." On recommendation of the committee Section 26 was adopted as follows: The Council may by vote affiliate with he American Library Association any na- ional society having purposes similar to hose of the American Library Association. The dues of affiliated societies shall be based upon the number of its members who are not also members of the Amer- ican Library Association as specified in the by-laws. Voted to add the words "or Council" at the end of line 3 of Section 27. Voted to insert the word "annual" after the word "successive" in line 3 of Sec- tion 28. The constitution was unanimously ap- proved as amended. The meeting then adjourned. WANTS Long Beach (Cal.) Public Library. U. S. Department of agriculture. De- partment bulletins. No. 396.

A. meet together to review the accomplishments of the year and renew the hopes and ideals for future work. This year we are to meet amidst unusual surroundings. The origins of American librarianship were rooted in New Eng- land. The literary traditions and associations of the locality are stimulating and inspiring. Amidst such surroundings, the Association should courageously face its new problems and possibilities and plan for larger and greater things. We have passed through a period of tests, the test of amazing and resultful effort, crowned with success in the effective library service rendered during the war; and the test of dis- couragement which followed the effort for increased finance and enlarged activities. Trials of both success and failure have, without doubt, clarified our vision and strengthened our confidence that the realities of library service are stable and enlarging. Out of these experiences, we should enter upon the next stage of library growth and development with courage, and with con- fidence in each other and in our work. The program of the Swampscott Conference will, we trust, be of interest and profit and contribute to this end. Let all plan to come with the spirit of cooperation and fellowship and with the expecta- tion of a good time among the surroundings and traditions of New England. Meantime, the intervening weeks between now and June 20th, will afford opportunity to roll up a long list of new members for the Association, if each member adds at least one new member. Gratifying as the growth has been since January 1st, all members should determine to have a part in bringing about an increase of not less than 25 per cent from the beginning of the year. Let this be our goal before June 20th. AJI ardent belief in library service and a sincere endeavor to enlist all librarians in united effort in advancing it, means greater personal satisfaction in the day's work, as well as a strong and effective national organization. This is a joyous task for all. Faithfully yours, ALICE S. TYLER, President. BULLETIN OF THE AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION VOL. 15, No. 5 CHICAGO, ILL.

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 Con- stitution) was established. It amounts now to $9,261.84. 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 foe especially useful in the circulating libraries of the country. By a vote of the Council, the Carnegie fund has been placed in charge of the trustees of the Endowment fund. Special mention should be made of the benefactions of George lies in financing several publications which the Association would not have been able to have pub- lished without such financial aid. Full in- formation as to the investment and con- dition of these funds will be found in the reports of the Trustees as printed each year.

Washington St., Chicago, III. SECTIONS OF THE ASSOCIATION By means of a system of sections the practical usefulness of the A. L. A. meet- ings has been considerably enlarged. The section meetings, while open to all, pro- vide especially for the needs of each class of workers, and afford more opportunity for the discussion of details. The general, or undivided, sessions are thus left free for subjects of general interest and the consideration of routine matter concern- ing the entire association. Seven of these sections maintain a for- mal organization from year to year, and take under consideration questions relat- ing more particularly to their own prov- ince. They are as follows: COLLEGE AND REFERENCE SECTION which dates from a first meeting of the college librarians held in 1889. Since then, meetings have been held regularly. The members of the committee on ar- rangements are: Chairman, Charles J. Barr, Yale University Library, New Haven, Conn.; W. E. Henry, University of Wash- ington Library, Seattle (term expires 1923); E. D. Tweedell, The John Crerar Library, Chicago, 111., (term expires 1924). TRUSTEES SECTION has had a permanent organization since the meeting of 1890. More boards of trustees are each year recognizing the practical value of having their librarians attend the meetings al- lowing them not only the time, but also necessary expenses in many cases. Equal- ly significant is the increasing number of trustees who find that it pays to attend the A. L. A. meetings each year. By com- paring views, and advising with each other on their peculiar duties, mutual aid is ren- dered toward the efficient discharge of the public trust committed to them. Some of the meetings of trustees are held jointly with the librarians interested in supervi- sory problems; others with trustees only present; thus favoring the joint and sep- arate discussion of salaries, laws, vaca- tions, rules for the staff, and other ques- tions in which librarians have a personal interest that modifies their judgment. Officers for 1921-22 are: Chairman, F. H. Pettingill, Public Library, Los Angeles, Calif.; secretary, Mrs. Ora Thompson Ross, Rensselaer, Ind. CATALOG SECTION was established by action of the Council in 1900 and has met at each conference since the Waukesha meeting in 1901, ex- cepting at St. Louis in 1904, when no sec- tion meetings were held. At the Mackinac Island conference (1910) the Catalog Section completed its organization by the adoption of a consti- tution and by-laws. Officers for 1921-22 are: Chairman, Mrs. Jennie Thornburg Jennings, Public Library, St. Paul, Minn.; secretary, Ruth Rosholt, Public Library, Minneapolis, Minn. CHILDREN'S LIBRARIANS SECTION At the Montreal conference in 1900 an informal meeting was held for the purpose of personal acquaintance and co-operation among those actively engaged in library work with children. As a result of this meeting the Club of Children's Librarians was formed, and, in recognition of this movement for closer organization and wider discussion in this field than was afforded at the general sessions of the A. L. A., the Executive Board, in Novem- ber, 1900, established this section, which held its first meeting at Waukesha in 1901. Officers for 1921-22 are: Chairman, Clara W. Hunt, Public Library, Brooklyn, N. Y.; vice-chairman, E. Gertrude Avey, Public Library, Cincinnati, Ohio; secre- tary, Lenore Power, Public Library, New York City. PROFESSIONAL TRAINING SECTION 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 290 AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION first meeting was held at the Bretton Woods conference and its second meet- ing took place at the Mackinac Island con- ference, when constitution and by-laws were adopted. Officers for 1921-22 are: Chairman, Sidney B. Mitchell, University of Cali- fornia Library, Berkeley, Calif.; vice-chair- man, Lucy Morgan, Public Library, De- troit, Mich.; secretary, Edna M. Hull, East Junior High School Library," Warren, Ohio. AGRICULTURAL LIBRARIES SECTION At the Mackinac Island Conference a round table of librarians of agricultural libraries 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. Officers for 1921-22 are: Chairman, Lucy E. Fay, University of Tennessee Li- brary, Knoxville, Tenn.; secretary, Mary G. Lacy, Scripps Economic Bureau, Wash- ington, D. C. SCHOOL LIBRARIES SECTION At the 1914 conference the high and normal school librarians, then holding round table meetings, made a formal peti- tion to the Council that a section for school libraries be established. The Coun- cil in January, 1915, authorized the organi- zation of the section, and the first meet- ing was held at the Berkeley Conference. The School Libraries Section seeks to serve as a clearing house for professional information regarding libraries in ele- mentary, secondary and normal schools, and to compile a directory of school li- brarians. Its purpose is to discuss meth- ods, formulate policies, establish stand- ards and maintain relations with the Li-' brary Department of the N. E. A. and other educational organizations. Officers for 1921-1922 are: Chairman, Marion Horton, Public Library, Los An- geles, Calif.; vice-chairman, Jessie E. Tompkins, Public Library, Detroit, Mich.; secretary-treasurer, Frances H. Kelly, Car- negie Library, Pittsburgh, Pa. LENDING SECTION This section held its first meeting as a section June 5, 1920. Officers for 1921-22 are: Chairman, John A. Lowe, Public Library, Brooklyn, N. Y.; vice-chairman, Edith F. Vermeule, Yesler Br., Public Library, Seattle, Wash.; secre- tary-treasurer, Mary U. Rothrock, Lawson McGhee Library, Knoxville, Tenn. AFFILIATED NATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS Acting under Section 16 of the Consti- tution and upon applications formally made by the proper officers, the Council has regularly affiliated with the American Library Association the following na- tional organizations of kindred purpose. These societies meet annually, usually at the time and place of meeting of the A. L. A. Their members enjoy all priv- ileges of members of the larger body as to railroad and hotel rates and conference hospitalities. Their proceedings are includ- ed in the A. L. A. conference volume and they are often formally represented by designated delegates upon the program of the Association. NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF STATE LIBRARIES Officers for 1921-22 are: President, John M. Hitt, State Library, Olympia, Wash.; vice-president, Mrs. Jessie P. Weber, Illinois State Historical Society Library, Springfield; secretary-treasurer. Herbert O. Brigham, Rhode Island State Library, Providence, R. I.; member Ex- ecutive Board, Edward H. Redstone, Mass- achusetts State Library, Boston, Mass. LEAGUE OF LIBRARY COMMISSIONS Officers for 1921 are as follows: Presi- dent, W. R. Watson, State Dept. of Edu- cation, Library Extension Division, Al- bany, N. Y.; first vice-president, William J.

The first form of help is in the way of suggestions. No group of men and women, themselves busily engaged at an occupation which brings them their support, can consider every angle of the professional field. They need the suggestions of all the men and women in the pro- fession and such suggestions are certainly cordially invited by the pres- ent executive board. But it must be remembered that the finances of the American Library Association are so limited that only an insignifi- cant part of these suggestions can possibly be acted on, and the execu- tive board will have to choose among them those that in their judgment seem more immediately important. The other thing needed by the exec- utive board is intelligent, constructive criticism. If they attempt some- thing which should not be attempted, or if they perform in an inade- quate way something that ought to be performed well the board must expect and should receive criticism. Such criticism is certainly invited by the present executive board. It must be remembered, however, that criticism which simply says something else might have been done or that the thing done might have been done in some other way is not very constructive because it only indicates that the judgment of the critic is different from that of the executive board. It may well be that the members of the executive board have not selected the best thing or done that thing in the best way since they are only human; but inasmuch as the association has impowered them to take such decisions they have to accept the responsibility and do the best they can. Sugges- tions and constructive criticism therefore will be welcome. Let us have plenty of each. AZARIAH S. ROOT, President. j AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION ANNUAL REPORTS, 1920-21 SWAMPSCOTT CONFERENCE, JUNE 20-27, 1921 SECRETARY'S REPORT The effort to "return to normalcy" at A. L. A. Headquarters has been an effort to establish a normal post-war status, not an effort to return to the pre-war status. At the beginning of the year we were still operating several departments of the war service organization. During the year the library service for American farces in Germany, and for the American troops outside continental United States, was turned over to the War Department. The library service for tha lighthouses and light ships, which the A. L. A. had helped to reorganize was turned over to the Light- house Bureau. The Coast Guar,d library service, for which the A. L. A. had pro- vided some books and magazines, was released entirely to the library commis- sions of the various states. The merchant marine library service, which had been established on a large scale in ocean-going vessels and lake carriers, was discon- tinued. The New York Dispatch Office, and all other dispatch offices, were closed. All books not in use were distributed (mostly through State Library Commis- sions) except those which are being held for the possible use of the merchant ma- rine service if it is reopened by some other organization. At the end of the year we are still find- ing it necessary to operate the very con- siderable hospital library service in spite of the active efforts of the Executive Board, of the Committee on the Transfer of War Service Activities and of the head of the hospital department, to transfer it to the Federal Government. The work for the blind has been merged with the en- larged activities of the Association. At the beginning of the year we were in a very uncertain status as regards the Enlarged Program campaign. During the year the campaign was brought to an end. The Enlarged Program campaign account was closed in February, 1921. The end of the year finds the A. L. A. Headquarters administering some "enlarged activities" on a small scale. These unusual perhaps we may call them extra-normal activities have thrown an extraordinarily heavy burden on the Executive Board and on the A. L. A. Head- quarters organization. What may be called the purely secretarial work of the Chicago office, that is the work which is the natural esult of increased activities of the Execu- tive Board and the A. L. A. in general, has increased very largely over that of other years. There has been also a very con- siderable increase in the use of the Chi- cago office as a bureau of information, a clearing house for library ideas and in- formation of all sorts. The A. L. A. Headquarters is being called upon to carry on very greatly enlarged activities with as usual an entirely in- adequate income and staff. The result is that it has been impossible for the office to do its work well. Requests from com- munities in states without library com- missions for advice on the establishment of libraries ; requests for information about library buildings, library legislation, sal- aries must perforce be answered off-hand and on the spur of the moment because uSlVRSiTir OF ILLINOIS JUL15 1921 AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION there is not enough time to make an in- vestigation and there is almost never suffi- cient time or money to enable the members of the Headquarters staff to visit com- munities needing and wanting the Asso- ciation's professional advice. Much of the correspondence is answered weeks after it arrives. One or two official publications have been months late in reaching the members of the Association. Some way should be found which will enable the Headquarters office to do the work which seems now to be expected of it. An effort has been made in the follow- ing paragraphs to state as concretely as possible some of the outstanding features of the year's work of the A. L. A. Head- quarters staff. In many cases the work has been done in close cooperation with an A. L. A, committee. Membership. The President and other officers of the Association, the Member- ship Committee, a large number of other members of the Association and the Head- quarters staff have given special atten- tion to increasing the membership without actually making a membership campaign and without spending much money. Be- tween aJnuary 1st and June 13th 850 new members have been enrolled. This is a gain of 19 per cent over the total mem- bership (of 4,464) on December 31, 1920. The total number of members on June 13th was 5,314. But this number Includes the total mem- bership of 1920. It may be somewhat reduced unless we are able to avoid the losing of the two or three hundred mem- bers who may be expected annually to al- low their membership to lapse. A more detailed statement will be found in the report of the Membership Committee. Employment Service. The placement work, always one of the important activ- ities of A, L. A. Headquarters, has grown very much during the year. An average of 150 people are currently registered. Notwithstanding this many more vacancies are listed than there are people available. The demand for graduates of library schools has increased. At the beginning of the year registrants without formal training were outnumbered by those who had it. The contrary is true at present. The demand for catalogers and children's librarians has been far in excess of the supply. Increasing opportunities for ref- erence librarians are noticeably evident. Salaries, taken all in all, are higher than a year ago. There are fewer large salaries offered but the general scale has moved up. Recommendations have been requested for positions ranging from $1020 to $5000 a year. In April provision was made by the Executive Board for a full time clerical assistant for employment work. This has resulted in a more organized employment service, and the establishment of better records. It has also made possible a more prompt answering of employment correspondence. The employment service is in no sense a department but it is a growing work carried on as well as the limited Headquarters' facilities permit. Recruiting for Librarianship. Advan- tage has been taken of the many oppor- tunities for recruiting in connection with the employment work, both by letter and personal interview. Constant inqiries as to "how to become a librarian" are received at Headquarters. These have been greatly augmented by the active and effective work of the Re- cruiting Committee. The reprinting of "Books and a voca- tion" for free distribution supplied a need as did also the printing of the second edition of "Training for librarianship." The courtesy of the library periodicals in printing notes and bibliographies at op- portune times furthered the work. A circular letter with material for a news story or editorial was sent to 209 American colleges, with satisfactory results. The committee on recruiting has worked rather more largely than other commit- tees through the Headquarters' office. Several circular letters have been sent to SECRETARY'S REPORT, 1920-21 3 large mailing lists including college and university librarians and vocational writers and directors; several thousand publications have been distributed and two new publications and a placard are in the printer's hands as this report is being pre- pared. Some of this work has been paid for out of the Books for Everybody Fund. The report of the Recruiting Committee gives detailed information. Publications. The Chicago Headquarters is the executive office for the Publishing Board as well as for the Executive Board and the Association in general. Since the last conference the Headquarters' and Booklist staff have edited and seen through the press forty-four separate pub- lications. Those which were issued under the supervision of the Publishing Board have been listed in the Publishing Board's report. The following is a list of new publications not under the supervision of the Publishing Board: The Bulletin six numbers, including Papers and Proceedings for 1920, and the Handbook for 1920. Annual reports for the Conference. Program for Conference. Advance attendance register. The Booklist of Revised Braille two numbers. Program for Mid-Winter Meeting. Why join the A. L. A.? McCutcheon cartoon poster. Recruiting placard. Library Work An Opportunity for Col- lege Women. The Child and the Book, by Christopher Morley. A recruiting leaflet (in printer's hands). Also lists of A. L. A. publications. There has been also a large amount of direct-by-mail advertising, necessitating many thousands of printed forms and circulars. All of these publications and the eleven numbers of The Booklist (counting the Index) are distributed by the A. L. A. Headquarters. It is estimated that 150,000 copies of the various publications have been sent out from A. L. A. Headquarters, some of them in large quantities but per- haps at least 50 per cent of them as single copies. Most of the publications are sold and a very large percentage of the sales are on charge accounts. The amount of work done by the office in filling these orders and handling the accounts will be indicated by the following list of steps which must be taken to complete a transaction: Receipt of order. Rubber stamped to show orders filled Address label. Bill figure discount if for library school or institutional member. Enter on shipping book. Wrap. Mail, or if express, write express label. Enter on stock records. Enter on ledger. File duplicate bill. File order. Send statement quarterly. When money is received, enter on cash book and ledger. Two or three of these processes are un- necessary in the case of a cash order. Uniform Library Statistics. At the suggestion of A. L. A. Headquarters the Committee on Administration prepared a Revised Form for Library Statistics. Copies of this form have been sent to all institutional members of the A. L. A. and many reports have been received from these libraries. The information has been of use in answering inquiries from various libraries, especially about salaries and income. It is doubtful whether the reports can be published this year on account of the high cost of printing and the shortage of funds. Addresses, Lectures and Library Meet- ings. The Secretary, the Assistant Secre- tary, Miss Bogle, and the editor of The Booklist have represented A. L. A. Head- quarters at ten state library association meetings; four library schools; two sum- AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION mer schools; one state educational asso- ciation meeting; the American Booksel- ler's Convention and at several other con- ventions. More than a score of talks and lectures have been given. The Association has also been formally represented at several meetings of national associations and has definitely affiliated with the Conference on Coordination of National Social Work and with the National Council of Agencies Engaged in Social Work. War Service. The report of the Com- mittee on the Transfer of Library War Service Activities covers most of this ground. Only the facts and figures which are considered of outstanding importance and which concern the administration of the work itself rather than its transfer or discontinuance, are included here. Hospital Department. A report by the head of this department is appended to this report of the secretary. Merchant Marine Department: When the A. L. A. brought its service to the American Merchant Marine to a close on November 30, 1920, it had distributed about 450,000 books and approximately 150,000 magazines. It had rendered ser- vice to vessels 6,710 times, serving 2,892 different vessels. Of the total number of books used approximately 31,000 were for the Great Lakes Service. Ninety-two thousand volumes which had been set aside for merchant marine service were reported on hand in November in twenty-two American ports, at Sault Ste. Marie and in the hands of American Con- suls and other representatives at foreign ports. It was estimated that probably 158,000 volumes were still in good condi- tion and in use on the vessels. Most of the books which remained in the ports have been stored for use in the merchant marine service if it is reopened by an- other organization. Coast Guard. 11,951 books were supplied to Coast Guard stations from the begin- ning of the service to November, 1920. Six hundred and sixty-three magazine subscriptions were entered. Light Houses and Light Ships. 11,314 books were supplied and some help was given to the Light House Bureau in the reorganization of a service which is likely to be continuous. Coblenz. Library War Service for the American Forces in Germany was organ- ized shortly after the armistice. A central library was maintained with branches and stations scattered throughout the area cov- ered by American troops. The War Depart- ment took over this service Dec. 31, 1920, but was unable to appropriate the large sum which the Commanding Officer of the American Forces in Germany estimated would be necessary. The result is that the work is being carried on under army su- pervision by Y. M. C. A. funds. Miss Eliza- beth B. Steere, one of the A. L. A. representatives, has been continued in the service by the Y. M. C. A. The number of books transferred to the army was estimated at 33,482. Library War Service for Army Outside of Continental United States. The books, miscellaneous equipment, and the respon- sibility for service to the army in the Canal Zone, Hawaii, Philippine Islands and Alaska were formally transferred to the War Department during the year. American Library in Paris, Inc. The A. L. A. Executive Board appointed the following persons as representatives of the A, L. A. on the Board of Directors of the American Library in Paris, Inc.: Laurence V. Bene"t. Walter V. R. Berry. Rev. A. S. V. Blunt. Prof. Charles Cestre. Charles L. Seeger. A formal release of all books, equipment and responsibility for service, signed by the President and the Secretary of the A. L. A., was sent to the Board of Di- rectors of the American Library in Paris, Inc., In August, 1920. A report of the librarian together with much other infor- SECRETARY'S REPORT, 1920-21 mation about the activities of the library will be found in the Year Book for 1921, which is being distributed from Paris. The financial responsibility of the A. L. A. will end with Mr. Carlton's service in July, 1921, but the Executive Board has voted to "contribute from the War Funds to the American Library in Paris, Inc., a sum of $25,000 as an endowment fund, the income to be used in paying in part the salary in that library of an assistant trained in an American library school. This gift is made subject to the condition that the selection of such assistant shall be approved by the Executive Board of the American Library Association. The exact form of the bequest is subject to legal formalities and to the approval of the Board of Directors of the American Library in Paris, Inc." Books for the Blind: Nineteen titles, comprising thirty-five volumes, have been put into Braille Grade One and One-Half by the A. L. A. during the last year. The Association also had a part in putting one title of five volumes into Moon type at the special request of the donor. There are now three books in press. The work is under the voluntary supervision of Mrs. Gertrude T. Rider, Library of Congress, in close cooperation with the Committee on Work with the Blind and the A. L. A. Headquarters. A. L. A. Headquarters has printed and aided in the distribution of two numbers of the Booklist of Revised Braille prepared by a sub-committee of the Committee on Work with the Blind. This work is being continued as a part of the enlarged activities of the A. L. A. Enlarged Activities. On April 2, 1921, the Executive Board approved a Books for Everybody Budget of $12,057.75, after voting $20,447.21 into the Endowment Fund. The budget included (1) Library extension, (2) Booklists, reading courses, book publicity, (3) Library publicity, (4) Books and work for the blind, (5) Survey (Committee of Five on Library Service), (6) Certification, (7) Recruiting, (8) Mer- chant Marine, (9) Hospitals, (10) Coast guard. The budget was, for the most part, based on gifts for specific purposes. The small amount for the Coast guard was spent in the purchase of books for a Coast Guard Station. That given for hospitals was transferred to the War Funds for the use of the hospital de- partment. The money given for the Mer- chant Marine is being held for that ser- vice when it is re-established. The money for the survey and for cer- tification has been set aside for the use of two committees. The work for the blind is going forward as reported above. The amount for recruiting is being used by Headquarters and the recruiting com- mittee. What has been accomplished so far is stated above and in the committee's report. In addition we have reprinted several thousand copies of the leaflet "A County Library," for limited distribution in states without library commissions and at national meetings, as for example, of the N. E. A. and the National Conference of Social Work. Copies have been distributed to county school superintendents who at- tended the meeting of the Department of Superintendents at Atlantic City, to presi- dents and chairmen of the State Federa- tions of Women's Clubs, to county school superintendents in five states which are without library commissions. In some cases they were sent directly from this office with circular letters. An edition of a few hundred copies of "Book Wagons, the County Library with Rural Book Delivery," have been taken over from the Publishing Board for sim- ilar distribution. Copies of the County Library leaflet and Book Wagon pamphlet have been mailed to the officers of the various Country Life Associations through- out the country, and to professors of rural economics and rural sociology in many colleges and universities. Pictures and material for a series of articles on "The Use of Books," have been AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION prepared for a boys' magazine with a large national circulation. Material for articles on the use of books and the de- velopment of libraries has been sent to several periodicals, especially those that circulate to rural readers. The secretary has served as associate editor of a special County Library Number of the Sierra Educational News. We are sending a personal letter to edi- tors of practically all the house organs whose addresses could be obtained, sug- gesting the publication of a special book and library number. The letter also offers some help from A. L. A. Headquarters, if such help is desired. A few hundred copies of a pamphlet, "Workshops for Assembling Business Facts," by Dorsey W. Hyde, Jr., with an intoductory note by Herbert Hoover, have been taken over from the Publishing Board for use in encouraging the develop- ment of business libraries. Copies are for sale to libraries by the Publishing Board, but will be sent free of charge to business men making inquiries about the etsablish- ment of business libraries. Heaquarters has acted in an advisory capacity to the National Director of the Junior Red Cross relative to the value of the Junior Red Cross News in children's reading rooms. An article intended to stimulate reading and the use of books by children is being prepared for the News. Much publicity material is being col- lected for use in the general field of library publicity and in the special field of book publicity. The material is for possible use in magazine articles and exhibits and for lecture slides. Book notes are being furnished regu- larly by The Booklist staff to a news agency which supplies these notes to news- papers throughout the country for use on the children's page. Preliminary steps have been taken which we hope will result in the issuing, by other organizations in cooperation with the A. L. A., of reading courses on impor- tant subjects. Correspondence. This report would be incomplete without some mention of the vast quantity of letters coming daily to Headquarters' office. These cover prac- tically every library subject from book selection to duties of staff, from how to apply for a Carnegie grant to minute de- tails of building, from how to put on a local library campaign to how to procure the establishment of a state library commission. From many directions come evidences of an awakened library consciousness which, if careful attention is given them, offer to the Association opportunities to fulfill its purpose "to foster the develop- ment of libraries and promote the use of books." Many of the inquiries can be answered by available printed material or by reference to committees but others re- quire individual replies often necessitating research which is hampered by inadequate facilities at Headquarters. An organized library, such as the Association advocates for other organizations and corporations, would greatly advance its own work. A New Accounting System. With the approval of the Executive Board and the Finance Committee a new simplified and unified system of bookkeeping and a new method of paying bills are being installed under the supervision' of Marwick, Mitchell & Co., accountants. Headquarters. At the beginning of the year it was assumed that the A. L. A. would find it necessary during the year to rent offices for its Headquarters' use. The end of the year, however, finds us still enjoying the hospitality of the Chi- cago Public Library. The Newberry Li- brary has recently set aside a large space for the storage of A. L. A. material. The Association is under obligation to various libraries and other agencies in different parts of the country which are storing material, especially war service corre- spondence and books for merchant marine service, without expense to the Association. The Staff. The A. L. A. Headquarters staff consists of secretary, two assistant SECRETARY'S REPORT, 1920-21 secretaries, a general assistant who serves as private secretary and has charge also of the sale of publications, a book- keeper, two stenographers, a typist, an editorial assistant, an office girl and an office boy, the last three being on part time. The Booklist staff at present in- cludes an editor, two assistants, a stenog- rapher and a temporary assistant engaged in work on the A. L. A. catalog supple- ment. The office is not highly organized. The staff has expanded naturally and some- what rapidly. Gradually definite functions are being assigned to certain persons to the end that the work may be done more systematically but the office is still small enough to enable each person to know about and do several things. Although this is called the secretary's report it could be more accurately desig- nated as the report of the Headquarters' staff. The work done in Chicago is not that of one individual but of all the per- sons who make up the Headquarters or- ganization. They have all given their best service to forward the interests of the American Library Association and the American library profession. CARL H. MILAM, Secretary. HOSPITAL DEPARTMENT With a Congressional appropriation pro- viding for the continuation of libraries for ex-service men in hospitals, the final stage of the Hospital Library Service of the American Library Association has been reached. Hospital library work, begun in Febru- ary, 1917, as an adjunct to Camp Library Work, had by June 1918 developed into a separate department of the Library War Service with twenty-four librarians and two supervisors carrying on the work. By June 1919 there were in America in this branch of the service one hundred and forty-five librarians and six supervisors, and reading matter had been supplied to all hospitals and transcontinental hos- pital trains. In France between Novem- ber, 1918, and April, 1919, libraries were organized in one hundred and twenty-one hospitals and trained workers were placed in a number of base centers. On November 1, 1919, the contents of the libraries in this country and the neces- sary personnel to administer them were turned over to the War and Navy De- partments. This left the sick and wounded ex-service men without library service; so the same season that saw the Ameri- can Library Association service trans- ferred to these departments saw plans un- der way for taking care of the library needs of the ex-service men in hospitals. These plans included service to the men in Public Health Service and Contract Hos- pitals and in National Soldiers' Homes caring for War Risk beneficiaries. Organization: The original plans for these libraries included for the large hos- pitals the appointment of a librarian for every three hundred patients and an as- sistant for every three hundred additional; a small carefully selected library, a cen- trally located room to be set aside by the hospital authorities for the use of the am- bulate patients, and hospital personnel, and delivery of books and periodicals to the wards. For the smaller hospitals the plans included the purchase of books and magazines and newspapers. The distribu- tion of this material to be in the hands of the Red Cross or some volunteer who would act under the supervision of a field supervisor or a representative from a nearby public library. Owing to lack of funds and the uncer- tainty of future action of the Government these plans have never been fully de- veloped. Books and periodicals have been purchased for all hospitals caring for ex- service men when some one could be found to supervise this distribution, but prac- tically no new personnel has been ap- pointed since November 1920, although several hospitals have been opened since this date. 8 AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION We are today (June, 1921) giving service to 59 Public Health Service Hospitals, 95 Contract Hospitals, and 3 National Sol- diers Homes. There are in the American Library Association employ three super- visors, sixteen librarians and six assist- ants. In addition to these there is, in every hospital served, some one who has pledged to check the periodicals and see that the men receive the books and maga- zines supplied. This volunteer service, while much appreciated, has the advan- tages and limitations of volunteer service in any library. Of our own representatives too much cannot be said for the spirit with which they have worked. They have not known from month to month whether the work v:as to be continued, they have had no recognized place in the hospital or- ganization, and in some cases have had active opposition on the part of the au- thorities to overcome, but in spite of this they have gone forward quietly and steadily, and have made a place for the li- brary in every hospital with which they have been connected. It is due to their work that library service today has a recognized place in Government hospitals. Books, Magazines, Newspapers: To all hospitals with a librarian an initial collec- tion of books, numbering from 500 to 2,000 volumes has been sent. This collection has been added to by purchase of books se- lected by headquarters and in response to demands from hospital librarians. The number of volumes in the hospitals where there were librarians in April, 1921, was 55,000. The circulation of books in these hospitals for a year was approximately 200,000. During March, 1921, the books cir- culated amounted to 21,708. The circula- tion of books at one hospital during that month was 2,520 volumes. At the majority of hospitals without a librarian collections of books (based upon the number of men in the hospitals) have been sent to the Red Cross representatives who have distributed the books through the wards. No record has been kept of this circulation, and no effort has been made to conduct a library or to see that any except recreational needs were cared for. At some hospitals the Educational Di- rector of the Vocational Board has taken charge of the books. This has meant the emphasis has been put upon books re- lated to subjects taught to the exclusion of all other subjects. Standard lists of periodicals have been prepared and magazine subscriptions placed for all Public Health and many Con- tract Hospitals caring for ex-soldiers. The number of subscriptions placed has been based upon the number of men in the hos- pitals. The purchase of newspapers has varied according to locality. In the hospitals located in larger cities, New York, Chi- cago, etc., where newsboys are allowed on the wards only three or four of the morn- ing and evening dailies are purchased for reading room use; while at the hospitals removed from large centers, Fort Bayard, Fort Stanton, Greenville, etc., through the co-operation of the Red Cross, and the American Legion, not only metropolitan dailies, but "hometown" newspapers are subscribed for. Probably no feature of the work has proved more popular with the men than this. To many men the next best thing to the home letter has been the paper from the hometown. Character of Reading: The variety of calls upon the library in a hospital is as great as that of a city library, ranging from the man who is just learning to read English to one who wants the last word in auto mechanics, poultry raising, car- tooning, etc. The men love to fight over again the battles in which they took part, and will pore for hours over maps and plans of battles. At one hospital the librarian writes that she has been able to interest the townspeople to purchase recre- ational books and magazines needed; so that she would like the money to be ex- pended by the American Library Associa- tion to be used for Divisional Histories. The greatest demand of course is for fie- SECRETARY'S REPORT, 1920-21 9 tion. The librarian at one of the Tuber- culosis Hospitals writes: "While the greatest proportions of books going out are fiction and the most popular taste is for western and detective stories, there are enough demands for more 'meaty' reading to show a quite prevalent desire for good literature. James' 'Talks on Psychology' has found a number of ap- preciative readers one man re-reading parts for the third time, so impressed was he with the thought; Emerson's Essays have been much read, even to the extent of being used by one patient as a standard of comparison for subsequent reading, much of which he found trivial when measured against Emerson! In the same was Kipling's 'Light that Failed,' read in close proximity to a 'wild west' story made the latter seem purposeless to another patient. These are just a few in- stances of the discrimination which the patients are constantly disclosing in their reading. "To look over a list of their requests for the month is enough to justify the ex- clamation of an assistant in the public li- brary when confronted with, a sample 'My what heavy reading those men do!' Here are a few of the month's special wants Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass, Brown's Religio Medici, Gibbs People of Destiny, Wilde's De Profundis, Dante's Di- vine Comedy, Ingersoll's Works, Margot Asquith's Diary, Poor Richards' Almanac, Yale Talks by Dean Brown (Brown's Mix- ture one man calls them) Italy's Part in the War, Ancient History, How to Look at Pictures, etc. "So much for the 'culural' wants! Here are some of their technical ones, Books on Cartooning, Commercial Art, Farm An- imals, Poultry, Fur-Bearing Animals, Short- hand, Photography, Agriculture in Kan- sas, Shoe and Leather Trade, the Tele- phone and Forestry." Co-operation With Public Libraries: The effectiveness of the hospital service has been very much enhanced by the whole- hearted co-operation of the public libraries throughout the country. Not strictly library co-operation, and yet the sort of thing which makes for friend- liness and good feeling was that shown by Miss Cornelia Marvin, librarian of the Oregon State Library, who interested the Salem War Mothers and the American Legion of Salem, Ore., in sending Christ- mas presents of jams to the boys in the Fort Bayard hospital. The librarians of the public libraries of Cleveland, Detroit, Evansville, Pitts- burgh, and Kansas City have sent assist- ants from time to time to small Public Health Service Hospitals in their cities to distribute books and magazines sent by the American Library Association and to take books from their own libraries, in response to demands on the part of the patients and staff. Practically all the libraries and library commissions when called upon have been most liberal with loans to the hospitals. Co-operation with Other Agencies: The library co-operation was to be expected but the co-operation with other agencies has been equally disinterested and generous. The Assistant Surgeon General in charge of hospitals in the Public Health Service has supported our work to the utmost and many of the Commanding Officers have given space for our libraries at the ex- pense of other branches of the service. The Red Cross has stood by us in this work as in all our hospital experience. In November when it appeared that the work must be abandoned because of the lack of American Library Association War Funds to continue it, Miss Ruth V. Emerson, in charge of the Bureau of Medical Social Service of the American Red Cross, said: "This is one of the most important parts of the Medical Social Service and it must be continued" and it was upon her very earnest recommendation that the Red Cross took over the salaries of the hos- pital department in December (the money covering this item has since been returned to the Red Cross). The Red Cross also sent word to a num- ber of the hospitals asking their workers to get from the men statements concern- ing the value of the work, and what it would mean if this work was discontinued. There were literally hundreds of letters sent in 'by the men, many of them pathetic, some humorous. A patient in one of the hospitals wrote: 10 "I have been a patient in this hospital for nearly a year and will say that the use of the books in this library with the help- ful suggestions of the librarian, has really opened up a new world to me. For several months I was a bed patient and reading was the only thing I could do. At that time I read several books a week besides the papers and magazines. I am now well on the road to recovery and can say with- out exaggeration that books have been an important factor in the overcoming of the diseases. I know many patients here now, who are confined to their beds and whose only occupation is in reading. It is rest and contentment of mind which overcomes tuberculosis and in my mind the hospital could do away with most anything but its books." Another wrote: "As this library has been of so much use and comfort to me and my fellow pa- tients during our long sojourn in this place, I feel moved to write you a personal letter in behalf of the patients of Ward 16. As you may know, this is a sick ward, and the only way that the majority of us have to pass away the long hours of the day, is through reading the books and magazines that the librarian brings us. I am sure that we feel that we might more easily give up our doctors rather than our books. As I passed through the ward this after- noon, I took note of the boys who had books or magazines lying on their stands. Out of the 40 patients in this ward only one or two had no reading material on hand, one, because he had never learned to read, and another because he was too ill to do so." Hospitals Served: Attached is a list of hospitals served. The majority of these hospitals have been visited by a field sup- ervisor, a librarian from a public health service hospital, or a representative from a nearby public library. This has meant that the men have had access not only to books donated and purchased for their par- ticular needs, but that they have had the book collections of large city libraries to draw upon, and that collections in the pub- lic health service hospitals have been available to men in nearby contract hos- pitals. On the list of hospitals served the word ".Librarian" indicates that there is a full time librarian on duty at the hospital, in some cases a librarian and an assistant. "Public Library" indicates that a repre- sentative from the public library visits the hospital at regular intervals, and reports to headquarters any book and magazine needs that cannot 'be supplied by the pub- lic library or some local agency. "Super- visor" indicates that the hospital is under the supervision and receives visits from the field supervisor of the hospital depart- ment. Transfer of Service: While the details of the transfer of the service and its con- duct by the government have not been agreed upon sufficient funds have been ap- propriated to assure adequate library serv- ice to the sick and wounded ex-service men. One hundred thousand dollars has been provided by Congress for the pur- chase of tooks and magazines for the beneficiaries of the War Risk, and the Comptroller of the Treasury has ruled that funds may be expended for per- sonnel to select these books and admin- ister the libraries in hospitals. This means that when these libraries are trans- ferred to the government assurance is given that they will be continued along lines laid down by the American Library Association, that professional service, the employment of trained librarians to super- vise the work will be considered an essen- tial part of every public health service hospital conducting a library. The active responsibility of the Ameri- can Library Association for the conduct of these libraries will probably be brought to a close during the summer, but until the work is firmly established as a government activity it is the wish of the Bureau of War Risk and the Public Health authori- ties that the American Library Associa- tion continue its service in an advisory capacity. The care of the ex-soldiers is one of the greatest problems facing our country to- day. The number of ex-service men in hospitals is still increasing at about the rate of one thousand a month, and will continue at this rate for three or four SECRETARY'S REPORT, 1920-21 1\ years. Library service in these hospitals is a problem worthy of thoughtful consid- eration by the best minds of the profes- sion. Hospital library service should mean service to patients, doctors, and nurses, and this many sided service has still to be adequately developed. This branch of the service is in its infancy and the standards established in government hospitals should serve as a model for all hospitals. The American Library Association has begun the work; may it be a matter of pride with the association to foster its growth and lend its best advise to establishing and maintaining proper library standards in government hospitals.

Greenville, d corre- spondence between members of the Com- mittee, the following questions were on February 24, presented to the Committee of the Assembly for their consideration: 1. If the Library Association will ar- range for the compilation of a bibliography of civil service in the United States, and annual supplements thereto, will the As- sembly arrange for its publication? 2. Will the Assembly unite with the As- sociation in asking the Institute for gov- ernment research or other similar organ- ization to investigate the subject of civil service administration, especially in its relation to the professional branches of service, federal, state, and municipal? 3. If the Library Association will agree upon standards of service, can the Assem- bly of civil service commissioners recom- mend either the establishment of a gen- eral examination board, the recognition of the results of examinations given by such a board, or the recognition of the results of examinations by other civil service com- missions adopting the same standards of service? These questions the Committee of the Assembly still have under consideration. The president of the National Associa- tion of State Libraries, at the request of the chairman of the Committee, appointed the following committee December 6 to draft preliminary specifications for posi- tions in state libraries: Mr. M. J. Fergu- son, Mr. G. G. Glasier, and Mr. G. S. God- ard. The assistance of Mr. Miles O. Price of the University of Illinois was also secured in the investigation of local conditions in the State of Illinois. W. DAWSON JOHNSTON, Chairman. C. B. RODEN, G. F. BOWERMAN, P. L. WINDSOR, M. J.

COMMITTEE ON COMMITTEES A letter from the Secretary, under date of January 24, 1921, advised the under- signed of their appointment by the Presi- 26 AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION dent as a Committee on Committees. The same letter stated that: "It was understood that the purpose of this Committee was to draft a brief state- ment showing what is the work of each Committee and also to make recommenda- tions as to the Committees to be created or discontinued." The President, writing under date of January 29, 1921, repeated and confirmed this statement of specifications and added: "It would also seem to be within the scope of this Committee's duties to suggest to the Revision Committee what should be properly included in the By-laws regarding committees." It should be noted that this Committee was appointed by the President upon the following vote of the Council at the Mid- winter Meeting in Chicago on December 29, 1920: "Voted: That the President appoint a Committee on Committees to report to the Council." This vote, and the action taken by au- thority thereof, afford a convenient exam- ple of the complexities of organization un- der the present constitution of the A. L. A. Three questions that we consider ger- mane to the duties of the Committee on Committees as above outlined, suggest themselves at the very beginning of our investigations. They are: 1. Has the Council the constitutional right to create committees, or to request or instruct the President of the American Li- brary Association to appoint committees? 2. Assuming this right, should commit- tees so created or appointed be made up of persons who are not members of the Coun- cil, and have they any authority, jurisdic- tion or power whatsoever, except in such matters as are expressly delegated to the Council in Section 16 of the present Con- stitution? 3. Are the examination of and report upon the functions and performances of the standing or special committees of the American Library Association itself among the matters so delegated to the Council in Section 16? The Constitution throws little light upon these questions. Section 14, entitled . "Council" begins with an enumeration of the persons who shall constitute the Coun- cil, but no provision occurs anywhere for the creation of a body that shall be known as a (or the) Council. It is not an essen- tial part of the administrative machinery of the Association, whose existence might be implied as necessary to give effect to the Constitution or the business of the As- sociation. In fact, Section 16, setting out the "Duties" of this autochthonous body quite clearly excludes all possible infer- ences or implications of any administra- tive or executive functions whatsoever. Neither is it anywhere provided or im- plied that the President of the Association is ex officio the chairman of the Council or that that body has not the right to elect its presiding officer from its membership at large. It should be observed, however, that the President is always a member of the Council. It seems to have been taken for granted that he is therefore its chair- man, and subject to its will. All deliberative bodies, of course, have the right to create and appoint committees or to direct their presiding officers to ap- point committees so created. The mem- bership of such committees is, however, by all rules of reason and parliamentary practice, limited to persons holding mem- bership in the body creating the commit- tee, and naturally terminates with the termination of their tenure as members of the creating body. In the present instance the undersigned constitute a Committee on Committees, created by vote of the Council, to examine into, and report back to the latter upon matters that by no stretch of interpreta- tion can be read into the category of sub- jects that the Council, under Section 16, "may consider," namely: "questions of public and professional interest. . . matters of library policy or practice... the policy of the Association." It is composed of three persons, only one of whom is a Coun- cil member; it is appointed by the Presi- dent of the A. L. A. under instructions from a body which has no express right to instruct anybody save its own properly chosen officers or sub-committees, and the President of the A. L. A. is neither a chosen nor a designated officer of the Coun- COMMITTEE REPORTS, 1920-21 27 cil. Its report will be received by the same body, without any authority over most of the committees reported upon, since most of them were not appointed by it; nor any power of initiative or revision in the premises, unless the Committees of the A. L. A. as a whole, their creation, their duties or the manner of performance of the latter, be assumed as comprehended among "questions of public and profes- sional interest, matters of library policy or practice, or the policy of the Association." Unquestionably the report, proceedings or researches of one or more of the Commit- tees might come, or be brought, to the at- tention of the Council as within the scope pf its chartered liberties, set out in Sec- tion 16. But this should be brought about by order of the Association or reference from the Executive Board, and it is at least not equally unquestionable whether a survey of the entire committee machin- ery of the A. L. A. can be ordered by the Council, save for its own academic inter- est and information, such survey to be made by a sub-committee of its own mem- bers. The foregoing is written in no spirit of frivolity or hyper-technicality. As was said in the beginning, the case of the Com- mittee on Committees itself presented a clear illustration of the vague and ill-de- fined organization set up by the Constitu- tion. We have Committees, both standing and special, appointed by the Executive Board under its undoubted authority both expressed and Implied in Section 11 of the Constitution. We have other Committees appointed by the Council (i.e. presumably by the President of the A. L. A. under vote of the Council, although the Handbook simply says "appointed by the Council") which are in effect and from the nature of their duties quite as much standing committees as those created as such by the Executive Board; whose membership com- prises persons not members of the Council ; which continue indefinitely and are en- gaged in work not within the authority of the Council (save through sub-committees for its own information), and which as- sume to represent and speak for the Asso- ciation itself without the properly dele- gated power so to do. We have also committees appointed by the Publishing Board and by the various sections. They were not regarded as fall- ing within the purview of the Committee on Committees. The common definition of a standing committee is: One appointed for the con- sideration of an entire group or class of subjects, as against a single or special topic or problem. It is often vested with authority to originate business within its jurisdiction and is usually continued in- definitely until its whole field has been covered or exhausted. The Council itself, if it be anything else than a voluntary association, is a standing committee and nothing more. As such its committee appointments should be limited to the creation of sub-committees of its own membership. On the other hand it has, of course, the right to recommend to the Association and the Executive Board that committees of larger scope and wider membership be created. It has not the au- thority to vote such creations, and the par- liamentary amenities as well as the co- ordination of our committee activities would be materially served if this view of its powers were accepted and the commit- tee appointing power for the A. L. A. were centralized, say, in the Executive Board. Several of our standing committees are in reality Commissions of experts, with full power to act, to make rulings, deci- sions and dispositions and to commit the Association to such decisions or to poli- cies of national or even international im- port without the necessity of reference or confirmation. Their reports are simply re- ports of progress and their activities are apparently and properly subject to no sort of revision or supervision whatever, unless they themselves choose to submit them to conference or discussion. An example of this sort of a Commission is the Commit- tee on Cataloging), formerly styled the Committee on Cataloging Rules. This body, although called a Special Commit- 28 AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION tee, is vested with full and absolute pow- ers to formulate rules for cataloging and to speak for and represent the Association in this department. Other Committees with a similar plenitude of authority are those on Bookbinding, Federal and State Rela- tions, Library Administration (this com- mittee and those on Library Training, Pro- gram and Resolutions, are created and have their duties defined in the By-Laws), and, perhaps, Book Buying and Decimal Classification. This complete delegation of power in special fields is, of course, entirely wise and proper, and these Committees are in- variably made up of persons possessing special qualifications, whom the A. L. A. is proud to designate as its plenipoten- tiaries. It is suggested, however, that the creation of such Committees, and the defi- nition of their jurisdiction, be made the subject of a special group of by-laws under the head of Standing Committees, direct- ing the source and manner of their ap- pointment, and specifying their functions and authority, and that, as new ones are created, new by-laws be added. Mr. J. I. Wyer, jr., in his letter to this Committee as Chairman of the Committee on State and Federal Relations, points out a dilemma which must frequently con- front the committee chairmen by reason of the want of definition of powers and jurisdiction that prevails generally among our committees. He says: "There is one matter which has not been perfectly clear to me. How far is a single committee entitled to put the Asso- ciation on record or commit it to a matter of policy in favoring or opposing legisla- tion? There are two opinions in this coun- try about the Smith-Towner bill and before our committee made active efforts to ad- vance it this winter I preferred to have the Executive Board reaffirm the Coun- cil's Asbury Park approval of two years ago. . . . The A. L. A. membership is not wholly uncritical and how is the Commit- tee on Federal and State Relations to know whether the action which may be its best judgment will be backed up by the Association?" This just criticism exactly points the moral that we have endeavored to impress in our preceding remarks namely: That it is imperative that our Committees should not only know the source of their authority and be able to trace their title back to the Association itself as the only real fountain of authority, but also the extent thereof; that they are entitled to a specific written statement, such as a clause in the by-laws or a positive enactment by the Executive Board, framed at the time of their creation, to serve as a charter or warrant for their activities. It is just be- cause this has never been systematically done that the present inquiry (or inquest) was instituted, to discover, if possible, through such evidence as could be ad- duced, direct, indirect, collateral and sometimes psychoanalytic, what was in the minds of the numerous and divers commit- tee creators when the various committees were called into being. The results of our labors, herewith sub- mitted, are no more satisfactory to us than they can be to the Council and, in any event, cannot be final. They should be referred for further discussion and re- vision, either to the Council, the Execu- tive Board, the Committee on Constitu- tional Revision, or, possibly, to the com- mittee here reporting, with a grant of fur- ther time. The sources of our information were, first, replies to inquiries addressed to the chairmen of most of the committees of the A. L. A. and Council as found in the Handbook for 1920, occasionally supple- mented by similar statements from chair- men of previous years. Such replies, ex- haustive, painstaking, and instructive, were received from all the committees to whom our letter was sent. Some commit- tees, such as Program, Travel, Finance, whose names clearly connote their pur- pose, were not asked for statements. Sec- ondly, the Proceedings and Bulletins were searched (but not prior to 1915) for com- mittee reports or discussions. In this connection we note as an apparent de- fect in our committee system the custom of submitting reports in writing, to be printed in advance of the annual or mid- COMMITTEE REPORTS, 1920-21 29 winter meetings, and dispensing with oral presentation except by special arrange- ment or for specially important subjects. A recommendation seems warranted that all committee reports save those dealing with mere business routine travel, pro- gram, etc., be accorded a fixed place on the program either of the Association or the Council. Among the duties allotted to the latter body the receipt and consid- eration of all important committee re- ports might well be included as a profit- able and appropriate function. In addition to the above mentioned sources of information we have also had the benefit of consultation with the Sec- retary and of several valuable letters from the President, which cast ample light upon the intent of the Council and President in the creation of this committee as well as upon the involved and perplexing condi- tion of our committee organization. We can hardly hope that this report will prove to be a material contribution either to- ward fulfilling that intent or improving that condition. One task that the Secretary particularly urged this Committee to undertake re- mains to a large extent unaccomplished. This is to "prepare a very brief statement showing what is the work of each commit- tee, which could be printed in the Hand- book so that new committee members might know what their functions are." The following annotations will be found far from brief, and will need much con- densation and revision before they can serve this purpose. To do this properly will require more time than was at our disposal, and the collaboration of persons commanding a more intimate and more ex- tensive acquaintance with the work of the committees than the undersigned have been able to acquire through the sources of information available to them. The Sec- retary himself should be constantly con- sulted in this final compilation. With this lengthy preamble, and con- scious of a title to authority more or less beclouded, your committee proceeds to sub- mit the following budget of notes con- cerning the separate committees of the A. L. A. and Council. It will be seen that we have made few recommendations as to the discontinuance or merger of commit- tees, and have found a surprisingly small amount of overlapping or duplication of authority. Considerable misunderstanding, however, exists among the committees as to the extent and limitations of their func- tions and authority. It is our hope that the present report may prove to be a con- tribution toward the abatement of these perplexities. Committee activity, in a large organization holding but one general meeting each year, is both necessary and desirable. To promote and usefully to employ it, without friction and with ample provisions for its fullest development, should constitute one of the chief pre- occupations of the Central authority, and should not be divided. Unfortunately there has not been time to submit these notes to the chairmen of the several committees before inclusion in this report. They are based in every instance upon the letters received in answer to our questionnaire, but the deduc- tions and conclusions are the sole responsi- bility of the committee here reporting. It should -also be observed that we have adhered to the classification into Standing and Special Committees formerly followed in the official list, but discontinued in the Handbook for 1920. Standing Committees Bookbinding. Created by the Executive Board, 1905. A commission of experts to act in an advisory capacity to the membership at large on all matters pertaining to binding, rebinding, magazine and pamphlet binding and book papers. Maintains collections of specimens and materials of binding and repair processes which are circulated as exhibits. Has formulated specifications for library bindings, e. g., of the llth ed. of the Encyclopedia Britannica, reference books, and for re-enforcements; also for book cloths, all of which have found general 30 AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION acceptance among binders, publishers and manufacturers. Compiled several booklets published by the A. L. A. Publishing Board. Makes an annual report of progress, and on the state of the industry as related to libraries. Book Buying. Created 1903, by the Ev- ecutive Board. To keep in touch with and report to the membership at large upon prices and dis- counts to libraries of American and foreign publications. Issues bulletins of news and advice on matters arising in its field. Ap- parently empowered to represent the A. L. A. in negotiations with the book trade and before legislative bodies in contro- versies relating to price maintenance, terms, and kindred questions. As at pres- ent constituted and conducted, this is rather a Committee on Book Prices than on Book Buying. In any event, this is an important standing committee which should be vested with ample and well defined powers. Cataloging. Created, 1917, as a Special Committee on Cataloging Rules primarily to act with the committee of the British Library Association to formulate additional rules for cataloging and such changes in the existing code as might seem desirable from the standpoint of maintaining or securing uniform practice in British and American libraries. Changed to its pres- ent form of name in 1920, and is now: A commission of experts to advise the membership at large on the practice of cataloging, and to act as a tribunal with final jurisdiction in interpreting and revis- ing old rules and formulating new ones. Has recently issued rules for cataloging music, and is now at work, through sub- committees, on rules for incunabula and prints. An important standing committee with plenary powers. Makes an annual report of progress but is apparently vested with independent authority, not subject to confirmation. Reference of its annual report to the Catalog Section, or to the Council, for discussion and, possibly, for approval or acceptance might prove useful. Education. Successor to the Committee on Co-operation with Educational Associ- ations. To promote and direct relations between the two tax-supported educational agencies, the public library and the public school, and advance the cause of library service in educational institutions, i. e., grade schools, high schools, night and continu- ation schools, normal schools, colleges and universities, primarily but not exclusively those under public control and supported by taxation. To this end the committee is arranging for the creation of state committees on education by the state library associations, and announces the following program: To give publicity and encouragement to the library program of the National Edu- cation Association. To give publicity and encouragement to the school library program of the school and college library sections of the A. L. A. To give publicity and encouragement to the library program of each State Com- mittee on Education. To formulate and to give publicity to certain fundamental principles that must underlie a normal, forward moving develop- ment of school libraries. This does not mean the laying down of certain definite methods of procedure. Each state will have its own convictions as to practice. (a) The establishment of library courses for the training of school librarians ade- quate to care for the needs of the state. (b) The establishment of equal stand- ards of preparation and compensation for librarians and teachers in the same com- munity or institution. (c) The establishment of instruction in the use of books and libraries in every school according to the age and needs of the students from the elementary school through the university. Federal and State Relations. To con- sider all matters involving legislative or governmental action affecting libraries, and to represent the Association in hear- ings or negotiations before legislative or governmental authorities. As a com- COMMITTEE REPORTS, 1920-21 31 mittee of a national organization its activities are almost wholly applied to federal relations, there being no instance on record of its intervention in state affairs. Since questions of legal or execu- tive action affecting interests of other committees frequently arise, e. g. federal price regulations, government printing, etc., the powers and functions of the pres- ent committee should be clearly stated. Interlocking memberships, as suggested elsewhere, might be a wise expedient. International Relations. To consider questions involving international relations of the Association as such, and to repre- sent it, or advise the Executive Board as to representation or participation, in affairs of international import, such as co-opera- tion with foreign governments, associa- tions or institutions. Cognizance, initiation or supervision of separate library enter- prises abroad are not included among its duties. Occasions for committee activity are therefore infrequent and are limited to international affairs affecting or enlist- ing the corporate interests of the Associa- tion only as a whole. Library Administration. Created in By- laws, Section 7, viz.: "The Executive board shall appoint an- nually a committee of three on library administration to consider and report im- provements in any department of library economy, and make recommendations look- ing to harmony, uniformity and co-opera- tion, with a view of economical adminis- tration." The existence and activities of other committees on special branches of library administration, e. g. cataloging, book buy- ing, bookbinding and library training, and tho.se on library work with special classes, have somewhat blurred the functional out- lines of this committee, so that it now describes its scope as comprehending "ad- ministrative problems not specifically assigned to other committees." 'Latterly it has concerned itself with report forms and other purely executive phases of library administration. Its excellent report on labor-saving devices and on economies as developed in our war experiences, how- ever, show that there is still a place for a committee to follow the general trend of administrative methods. Possibly a change in name, from Administration to Methods, would be useful. Library Training. Section 6 of the By- laws creates this Committee in the follow- ing words: "The Executive board shall appoint a committee of eight on library training, which shall from time to time investigate the whole subject of library schools and courses of study, and report the results of the investigations, with its recommenda- tions. The membership of this committee shall be as follows: one member of a state library commission, one librarian of a free public library of at least 50,000 vol- umes, one librarian of a college or refer- ence library, one library trustee, four library school graduates, including one from the faculty of a library school; one school graduate and one other member to retire each year." This committee, and the Committee on Library Administration, are the only two standing committees provided for in the By-laws (except those on nominations, resolutions and finance, the latter being created by Sec. 12 of the constitution). Its duties are clearly set out and the clause stipulating qualifications for mem- bership is interesting though it might prove embarrassing as a precedent. On the other hand, it is not clear why mem- bership on this committee alone should be surrounded by such specifications. One of our most important committees, with definite powers usefully employed. Public Documents. The present chair- man of this committee defines its func- tions as being: "To take cognizance of all matters relating to public documents issued in the United States, whether federal, state or municipal." The recommendation is made that Canada be included, and the observa- tion is added that the committee does not seem at any time to have "concerned itself with foreign documents." 32 AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION Since the primary duty of the committee seems to be to promote knowledge and use of public documents in American libraries, and to facilitate their acquisition, there does not seem to be any good reason why foreign documents should not be included. Secondarily, the committee intervenes as the representative of the Association in matters pertaining to, or affecting, the issue and distribution of federal docu- ments, as in the case of the printing bill now 'before Congress. This representative function seems clearly within the neces- sary powers of the committee, but should not be left to implication. There are possi- bilities here of conflict or overlapping with the Committee on Federal and State Rela- tions. Interlocking memberships in these two committees at present render this pos> sibility remote. This device might be use- fully kept in mind to forestall such con- flicts in other directions. Publicity. Created as a special commit- tee by the Executive Board, 1917, changed to a standing committee in connection with the Enlarged Program. By an oversight, discovered too late for correction, the pres- ent chairman was not asked for a state- ment. Publicity for the Association is so obvi- ously a branch of the administrative func- tions of the Secretary's office that it is difficult to see how it can be successfully covered by a committee of volunteers how- ever expert in practice or generous in their expenditure of time and energy. As a matter of fact neither Association nor library publicity is a proper subject for the activities of a committee which can only plan, advise and urge, without the means or authority to make its efforts effective. Conference publicity, extending over a period of a few weeks each year might conceivably be thus accomplished, indeed, has been accomplished with re- markable success in the past. Probably the present Publicity Committee would agree with these conclusions. We can only add that it is most unfortu- nate that the headquarters office must con- tinue without the resources and machinery to undertake so important an activity upon an adequate scale. In these circumstances the Association is fortunate in being able to command the devotion and enterprise displayed by this committee, past and present. Work with the Blind. Reports on con- ditions and accomplishments of libraries for the blind and encourages the establish- ment of such libraries. At present handles matters in connection with service to the war blind and the printing of embossed books for this service. Special Committees Affiliation with the Library Workers' Association. A Council Committee, creat- ed 1920, whose duties are sufficiently ex- plained by its name. Expects to render a final report at the current Conference, and to be discharged. Civil Service Relations. "Appointed by the Council," 1917. Four of its six mem- bers are present members of the Council. Created under authority bf a Council resolution: "That the President be authorized and requested to appoint a Committee on Civil Service Relations to confer with the National Assembly of Civil Service Com- missions and the Council of the National Civil Service Reform League and to report, if practicable, at the mid-winter meeting of the Council or at the ensuing conference. The Committee has made but one report (Asbury Park, 1919) since its creation. It is not clear whether this report was made to the Association or to the Council but it was probably made to the former. It is recommended that the statement of the functions of this Committee be enlarged to include the assumption of general cognizance of civil service rela- tions and legislation as they affect libraries, analogous to the duties of the Committee on Federal and State Relations, and that it be taken over by the Executive Board as a Standing Committee of the A. L. A. COMMITTEE REPORTS, 1920-21 33 Decimal Classification Advisory Commit- tee. Appointed by the Executive Board, 1916. To confer with the editors of the Dewey Decimal Classification, offer advice as to the inclusion and location of new subjects and schedules, and, in general, to repre- seat American library interests in the development and application of the Deci- mal and other standard book classifica- tions. Similar in scope and authority to the Committee on Cataloging, and, like the latter, should be changed to a Standing Committee of the Association. Committee of Five on Library Service. Appointed by the Executive Board, 1919, to prepare a survey of the present work of American libraries. Under the enlarged program the committee expected to receive a large appropriation enabling it to organ- ize the survey on a professional scale. Failing this, it expects to proceed with the survey by volunteer work, hoping to enlist the aid of a large number of workers. A very important special committee, con- fronted by a stupendous task which, in less capable hands, might be defeated by its own magnitude. Foreign Publications. Originated at the Mid-winter Meeting of the Middle Western University Librarians, 1919-20, for the pur- pose of securing better service for libraries in the completion of files of periodicals is- sued in Germany and Austria during the war period. On recommendation of the section the committee was appointed by the Executive Board in December, 1920, and is listed among the committees of the A. L. A. This committee presents the only clear case of duplication we have encountered, since the problems with which it deals are fully comprehended within the scope of the Book Buying Committee. It should be returned to its rightful parents, the Uni- versity Librarians. Institutional Libraries. Created by the Executive Board, 1915; formerly called Committee on Library Work in Hospitals and Charitable and Correctional Institu- tions. To promote the cause of organized library service in institutions and to ren- der all possible aid in bringing this about. This is one of a group of committees on library work with special classes which should be represented at headquarters by a paid extension officer to whom they might act as advisors. Meanwhile they are undertaking to carry on extension work in their respective fields through volunteer and leisure time efforts of their self-sacrificing members, a doubtful ex- pedient, justified only by the necessities of the Association. Others of this type are the committees on work with the foreign born and with the blind. They are really executive committees and make annual re- ports of work done similar to the report of an executive officer. They should at least be given the status of standing committees. International Bibliography of Humanistic Literature. Created by the Association 1919. To assist in the preparation, especially by advice as to methods, of an international bibliography of humanistic subjects, similar in extent and scope to the International Catalog of Scientific Litera- ture. This project originated with the American Association of University Pro- fessors, and was presented to the A. L. A. by Prof. P. J. Teggart as chairman of a special committee of that body. Progress depends upon financial support. Investigation of Manner in which Munici- palities are Meeting Obligations to Donors. Created, 1916, by the Executive Board. 'A. committee whose task, fully described in its title, involves the application of much industry and considerable diplomacy. The committee, which does not seem to have reported before, expects to report at this conference recommending that the work be done by headquarters. Joint Committee of Seven with Special Libraries Association. This committee was created by action of the Executive Board following the discharge of a preced- ing committee. The duties of this commit- tee are to confer as to appropriate activi- ties which might be jointly undertaken by the American Library Association and the 34 Special Libraries Association. Three mem- bers are apointed by the President of each Association and the seventh by these six. Legislation. Created by the Council, 1917. To keep itself and the Association informed on current American library legislation, federal and state, and to pre- pare a digest of all library laws, of more than local import, enacted during the year. Has drafted a model commission law and is now engaged upon a model county library law. It seems proper to recommend that, unless or until the Secretary's office can cover the field, this committee should con- tinue as a standing committee of the A. L. A. An alternative would be to assign its duties to the Committee on Federal and State Relations or the Committee on Library Administration. Library Co-operation with other Coun- tries. Created by the Executive Board, 19'21. To respond to cals from abroad, i. e., from municipalities and other official bodies, for assistance and advice in the application of American library methods. If this important activity must be cov- ered by a committee instead of being con- trolled from headquarters, the authority of the committee should be explicit and ample. Apparently it has power to desig- nate or invite members of the A. 'L. A. to contribute their services or to execute special commissions. This should either be clearly specified or reserved to the Executive Board or its officers. National Certification and Training. Ap- pointed by the Executive Board7~1920, as the result of recommendations included in the report of the Special Committee on Cer- tification, Standardization and Library Training, printed in the Proceedings, 1920, p. 311 et seq. Its object is to promote the project of a National Board of Certification. The report mentioned urges the creation of a Board of nine members, with a compe- tent executive staff and ample funds, to investigate and evaluate all agencies for library training, correlate their methods, and provide for an authoritative system of credentials or certification for librarians in various grades. This report was made with a view to inclusion in the Enlarged Program and looked forward to the provision of funds for the employment of experts and the maintenance of a central office. Section 4 of the "specific recommenda- tions" in the report reads: "That, pending constitutional provisions for such a board, the Executive Board of the American Library Association be in- structed to appoint a committee of nine members to be constituted substantially as outlined in the foregoing report." No conflict of function or jurisdiction exists between this and other Committees. The -action regarding, and the considera- tion of, certification by the several states emphasizes the importance of up-to-date reports on the subject. Reciprocal Relations with Other Nation- al Organizations. To advance the possibil- ity and arrange for the establishment of co-operation 'between public libraries and various activities and interests represented in national organizations; also to arrange for A. L. A. representation at meetings of such organizations where feasible. The committee notifies libraries of conventions to be held in their localities and urges them to offer their resources to the visit- ors as well as to the officials of the con- vention and local committee. This seems to be a secretarial function of a more or less clerical nature rather than a piece of work to occupy the atten- tion of a special group of members acting as a committee. Should be transferred to the Secretary's office as soon as provision can be made for it. Meanwhile the Asso- ciation is fortunate in having it covered by the volunteer activities of this special ccmmittee. Recruiting for Library Service. A spe- cial committee born of the necessities of the times and to be discharged when the emergency shall have passed. Occupies a field entirely its own, namely: To present the claims of librarianship as a vocation for young people. The com- COMMITTEE REPORTS, 1920-21 35 mittee is preparing a vocational exhibit, on view at this Conference. Revision of Adams' Manual of Historical Literature. To co-operate with a similar committee of the American Historical As- sociation in preparing a revised edition of the Manual of Historical Literature, by Charles Kendall Adams, first published in 1882. The bibliographical and editorial work is chiefly in the hands of the com- mittee of the American Historical Associa- tion, the function of the A. L. A. commit- tee being more of an advisory nature as to form, etc. The chairman of the latter com- mittee is a member of the committee of expected in 1922. Service to Traveling Salesmen. To con- fer with the National Council of the Trav- the Historical Association. Publication is eling Men's Association to devise a method of enabling its members to borrow books of any public library and return them to any other public library. This would seem to be largely a local problem. If it has national or Associa- tion aspects, it should be referred to the Standing Committee on Library Adminis- tration. Sponsorship for Knowledge. A special committee of the Council, created January, 1919, to develop a plan for Sponsorships for Knowledge on a national scale. At present the committee is devoting its at- tention to Boston only, expecting to sub- mit the arrangements to be there per- fected as a model or illustration for an undertaking on national lines. Standardization of Libraries. Appointed by the Council, Mid-winter Meeting, 1916-17. To take up the question of stand- ardization of libraries and librarians, the certifications of librarians, the definition of library personnel terminology. The interesting proviso is added that this committee, appointed by the Presi- dent upon instruction of the Council, "shall report to the whole Association " Transfer of Library War Service. Created by the Executive Board, 1920. A special committee with a definite task which it expects to complete in the near future. Union List. A committee of the Council, serves chiefly as a Committee for informa- tion to endeavor to secure action by other bodies rather than to do any work itself. One of its functions is to arrange for the compilation of a national joint list of serials available in the public, institutional and society libraries of the entire country. Ventilation and Lighting. A special committee of the Council for investigating progress and development in the field of lighting and ventilation for libraries. Ex- pects to complete its work at the present session. Work with the Foreign Born. Created by the Executive Bard, 1917. To extend the knowledge and use of libraries among the foreign born, especially the unassimi- lated foreign born. To assemble a body of information and practice relating to work in this field. Should be a standing committee. In addition to these there are the Com- mittees on Constitution and By-laws; Fi- nance; Membership, and Program, which did not seem to call for description or dis- cussion. All of which is respectfully submitted, C. B. RODEN, Chairman. CHALMERS HADLEY. T. W. KOCH. Chicago, May 21st, 1921. CONSTITUTION AND BY-LAWS This report was printed in the May Bul- letin. Separates are available. DECIMAL CLASSIFICATION ADVISORY Decimal Classification Advisory Commit- tee respectfully reports that their work has been seriously hindered by the death of the Secretary, and the absorption of their Chairman in other duties, but they are considering a most important exten- sion of the classification in 651 and 658. CLEMENT W. ANDREWS, Chairman. 36 AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION EDUCATION. Report of Progress June, 1921. The Committee held one meeting in Chi- cago at midyear. Three members besides the chairman were present but others in- terested joined in the discussions. The following general statement of the duties and functions of the committee, based upon this conference was prepared in April for the A. L. A. Committee on Com- mittees: The Committee on Education seems to have had its inception in a desire to co- operate with the N. E. A. for the purpose of bringing the public library systems and the public systems of the country into satisfactory working relations. The public schools systems we are defining as consist- ing of the state universities, normal schools, high schools, elementary schools, night schools and continuation schools, namely those schools, supported by taxa- tion, for the training of the school age population and adults. Our committee believes that it would be well to limit our efforts to the library work of and with organized public schools in this largest sense of the term. As pub- lic schools are controlled and directed by separate state and local communities, the A. L. A. Committee on Education believes that its chief duty is to act as a clearing house tor the ideas evolved in the several states. Therefore, it has suggested to each state association the appointment of a State Committee on Education. The duties of this committee would be to strengthen the library work in and with schools. Twenty-five states have already appointed such committees. The objective is co-operation between the two educational systems supported by the public as training centers for the school age population. Duties. (1) To give publicity and encourage- ment to the library program of the Na- tional Education Association. (2) To give publicity and encourage- ment to the school library program of the school and college library sections of the A. L. A. (3) To give publicity and encourage- ment to the library program of each State Committee on Education. (4) To formulate and to give public- ity to certain fundamental principles that must under-lie a forward moving, normal development of school libraries. This does not mean the laying down of certain defi- nite methods of procedure. Each state will have its own convictions as to prac- tice. (a) The establishment of library courses for the training of school libra- rians adequate to care for the needs of the state. (b) The establishment of equal stand- ards of preparation and compensation for librarians and teachers in the same com- munity or institution. (c) The establishment of instruction in the use of books and libraries in every school according to the age and needs of the students from the elementary school through the university. While special emphasis should be laid upon .work in publicly supported institu- tions, private institutions, especially those training teachers, should be included. A letter was sent to the president of each state library association suggesting the ap- pointment of a state committee on educa- tion. Twenty-six committees have been or- ganized. Five questionnaires were prepared, em- phasizing four points: State and City Supervision of School li- braries. The status and salary of school libra- rians. The state's facilities for training school librarians. Instruction of students in the use of books and libraries. These questionnaires have been distrib- uted and the state chairmen are co-operat- ing with the A. L. A. Committee in every way. We hope that this plan may help to relate the work of the state associations to the national association and that strong state programs may also result. The final report based on returns from the questionnaires will be made later. Very truly yours, HARRIET A. WOOD, Chairman. Note. Supplementary and illustrative material submitted with this report is on COMMITTEE REPORTS, 1920-21 37 file at A. L. A. Headquarters and may be seen by anyone interested. FEDERAL AND STATE RELATIONS Your present Committee on Federal and State Relations was notified of its appoint- ment and personnel on December 15, 1920, and its report, which was required on May 20, 1921, for publication in advance of the annual meeting, is therefore concerned with but five months' work. A Committee on Federal and State Rela- tions was first appointed at the annual meeting at Asheville, May 24-29, 1907, with the following statement of purpose: "The above committee will consider questions of library post, copyright, and all matters in- volving legislation or action affecting li- braries not within the province of other committees of the Association, or which may be referred to it by other committees." To this may be added the following statement made to the Executive Board in 1914, designed to outline the chief purpose of several of the Association's committees: "To provide for the proper conduct of ne- gotiations and the maintenance of official relations between the Association and other organizations or administrative bodies. Examples: The committees on (1) In- ternational Relations; (2) Federal and State Relations; (3) Co-operation with the National Education Association; (4) Resolutions. These two brief, rather vague expres- sions form the sole official statement of anything suggesting the constitutional or even the traditional functions ascribed to this committee in the past. It will be noted that they provide for "considera- tion, " for "conduct of negotiations" and ''maintenance of official relations" but no- where for outright decisions and action. In practice, however, as appears from its annual reports to the Association, the Com- mittee has in writing and orally in hear- ings and interviews advocated or opposed legislation and taken a decided stand upon matters of federal ruling or practice. This raises the question "How far is a sin- gle committee authorized to put the Asso- ciation on record or commit it to a policy or line of action? The constitution lodges with the Council the determination of poli- cies. The active advocacy of the Towner bill to establish a department of educa- tion or of one or more of the several meas- ures seeking to standardize and classify the federal civil service would seem clearly to be a matter of policy yet such action on these and a variety of similar matters appears to be expected from this committee and to have been taken by it in past years. There are certain matters which in the past few months have seemed to your committee so obviously wise and appropriate for active favoring effort as to raise no misgiving in the minds of its members. Yet we are conscious that the Council might not always take the same view of them and the membership at large, certainly a responsive and not un- critical one, might easily and quite prop- erly object to or repudiate such action by a committee. Your present committee, and especially its chairman, feels that cither 1. The Council should cede a measure of its authority or policy-determining re- sponsibility to this committee (and this - may not be at all wise or even legal) if it is expected to act promptly for the As- sociation in matters of pending or needed legislation; or 2. Without such warrant the Commit- tee should confine its work to accumulat- ing information regarding matters within its pretty well defined field and to present- ing such facts with suitable comment or recommendation to the Council or Associa- tion and act thereafter only on specific in- structions. This aspect, and it is a fundamental one, of the Committee's activities is earnestly commended to the Association for consid- eration. Such consideration will not over- look the fact that the need and the best time for effective action with congressional committees, state legislatures and public officers can seldom be determined accur- ately in advance and that sometimes need 38 AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION will arise suddenly for immediate action in a matter which can scarcely have been foreseen or anticipated by the Council. The Committee's membership represents seven states and the District of Columbia, purposely a wide geographical distribution a condition which has made meetings im- possible. An active correspondence has, however, been carried on by the chairman with all members and attention has been given to many matters referred to the Committee from officers, other comittees of the Association and from a few individual members. The most important of these matters are the following. The Towner education bill. As intro- duced in the present Congress, April 11, 1921, this measure is H. R. 7. Its title is "A bill to create a department of educa- tion, to authorize appropriations for the conduct of said department, to authorize the appropriation of money to encourage the states in the promotion and support of education, and for other purposes." This bill was first brought to the no- tice of the American Library Association at the Asbury Park meeting, 1919, when the Council approved its then form, as fol- lows: The Council of the American Library Association endorses the Educational Bill (H. R. 7) introduced into the House of Representatives by the Hon. Horace M. Towner, and urges upon the Congress of the United States the early consideration and adoption of this measure. In December, 1920, the National Educa- tion Association requested A. L. A. support of this measure and the matter was re- ferred to the Committee on Federal and State Relations. Since the bill approved at Asbury Park, the Towner bill had been pretty much rewritten and greatly changed. It seemed to your committee that in so important a matter and in view of the fact that there was, and is, con- siderable opposition to the Towner bill, it should have an expression from the Council or Executive Board before at- tempting to commit the Association to un- qualified approval of the bill or even to those parts of it of library interest. Ac- cordingly, at the request of the Committee, the Executive Board took the following ac- tino at its Mid-winter Meeting in Chicago, December 29, 1920: Voted: That it is the sense of the Board that the Association intended to endorse the idea of a Department of Education, and that the Executive Board is quite will- ing to leave to the Committee its decision as to what action it shall take in regard to the specific features of the bill which is now before Congress. As there seemed little chance for pas- sage of the bill, in the last session of the 66th Congress, the N. E. A. officials with whom your committee worked deemed it best to reserve A. L. A. effort until the present session. In its latest form (H. R. 7) the bill con- tains the following provision of interest to libraries. In section 9, among the pur- poses for which is to be spent the sum of $50,000,000 "to encourage the states to equalize educational opportunities" is the following: "for the extension and adapta- tion of public libraries for educational pur- poses." This is the only mention of libra- ries in the bill. In section 5 there are enumerated six subjects in the field of education for study and investigation by the Department of Education and report thereon. Your com- mittee has requested Judge Towner to add to this section as "(g)" public libraries, and Judge Towner has written that this amendment will be made. There are some who think that the bill should provide for a separate library divi- sion or bureau in the proposed Depart- ment of Education. This seems in every way desirable and your committee recom- mends that the A. L. A. go on record at its approaching annual meeting as favor- ing or urging (in the event of the pas- sage of the bill) the establishment of such a library division which could assume all library functions devolving upon the De- partment. Section 17 provides for a National Coun- cil on Education of about fifty members representing the different educational in- COMMITTEE REPORTS, 1920-21 39 terests. These Interests are not enumer- ated. While library interests might be so recognized by the secretary of education who makes the Council appointments, it would be well for the A. L. A. to take definite action looking toward library rep- resentation on this National Council. Judge Towner is to be at the meeting and it should be easy to discuss, and perhaps to reach an understanding on, this point. The members of the committee have re- quested numerous letters from influential librarians in the various parts of the coun- try. No effort has been made to secure a general support from all libraries, but rather to get letters from a few who may be thought to count strongly. Bureau of Education statistical report on libraries. Using as a basis the re- vised form for library statistics recently prepared by the Committee on Library Ad- ministration, your Committee is in corre- spondence with the U. S. Bureau of Edu- cation relating to a much needed new edi- tion of the statistical report on American libraries which for some time has been is- sued at intervals of from five to eight years. Dr. Claxton, then Commissioner of Education, recently reported his purpose to issue a new edition in 1922, revised to include figures for 1921. Your committee has suggested changes in grouping, in the size of libraries included, and in the cap- tions for which statistical information is to be given. "The director of library extension of the Bureau of Education agrees to the advis- ability of including full data for libraries of three thousand volumes or over (pres- ent minimum limit five thousand volumes). He also agrees that libraries of all types should be listed in one series. "It is not anticipated that Dr. Claxton's recent retirement will cause any material change or delay in the plan to issue a new library statistics bulletin." Federal salary classifications. There are three or four bills on this subject now before Congress. The Library Advisory Wage Committee of the District of Colum- bia is unable to decide between the Sterl- ing and Smoot bill, either of which would appear to be reasonably satisfactory to library interests. Your committee is in close touch with Dr. Bowerman, who is in charge of the matter in the District of Columbia, and its members hold them- selves in readiness to support these meas- ures by personal appearance, by letter or by formal statement for the Association whenever such action shall seem most ef- fective. Congressional Record. It appears from information reaching your committee that in order to receive the Congressional Rec- ord currently in unbound form, it is nec- essary to renew library requests to con- gressmen at the beginning of each session. The members of your committee have asked libraries in their state or regions to address their congressmen suggesting joint action providing for the distribution of the daily unbound edition of the Con- gressional Record to depository libraries without specific request renewed each year or session. There are probably many non-depository libraries that want to have the Record from day to day during the sessions. A request to include them in this distribu- tion might be successful. The objection has been urged against it, however, that it would be creating a depository list with- out legal warrant. And yet if many li- braries should advise your committee of their interest in the current Congressional Record it might be possible now, or at the passage of some other bill governing the printing laws, to get such a provision inserted. Post Office Department price ruling. Under ruling interpreting the postal act of October 3, 1917, the Post Office Depart- ment has for some years forbidden the mention of the price of a book in any book- list, bulletin or review printed and circu- lated as secondclass matter. This has been strongly objected to by publishers and booksellers interested in the matter com- mercially. It has also affected libraries, particularly those state libraries and li- brary commissions which print lists of 40 AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION books recommended for purchase. It has proved impossible under the Burleson ad- ministration to secure any modification of this ruling or even to get a satisfactory hearing on the subject. Your committee has taken up promptly with the new pos- tal administration such modification of this ruling as will permit prices in library publications. It has not seemed wise to attempt to speak for publishers, whose interests are commercial and in this re- spect differ from the library interests. "On May 25 the following order No. 5857 was received from the Postmaster General. While it is designed particularly for publishers, it yet seems to make per- fectly clear the fact that printed library lists are hereafter exempt from the an- noying ruling to which objection has been made." What Is and What Is Not Advertising in Publications Entered as Second-Class Matter Whose Advertising Portion Is Subject to Zone Rates. OFFICE OF THE POSTMASTER GENERAL, 'Washington, May 23, 1921. ORDER No. 5857. Hereafter, with respect to publications entered as second-class matter, the ques- tion as to whether, under the law of Oc- tober 3, 1917, requiring a higher rate of postage on the portion devoted to adver- tisements than on the portion devoted to matter other than advertisements, edi- torial and other reading matter is adver- tising will be decided by whether or not the publisher has been, or is to be, directly or indirectly compensated, either by money or other valuable consideration, for Its insertion. In all cases where the publisher has not been, and is not to be, compen- sated such matter will take the rate of postage for other than advertising. In all cases where the publisher has been or is to be compensated in any form whatever the advertising rate of postage will be charged. Articles, items and notices in the form of reading matter inserted in accord- ance with a custom or understanding, ex- plicit or tacit, that a "reader" is to be given the advertiser or his products in the publication in which the display ad- vertisement appears are advertising within the meaning of the law. Display advertising is obvious in its character and must pay the advertising mailing rate. Attention is specifically called to the law of 1912, which requires that editorial or other reading matter for which the pub- lisher is compensated, directly or indi- rectly, must be plainly marked with the word "Advertisement." The Postmaster General desires it to be thoroughly understood by all publishers that this law of 1912 is most earnestly called to their attention and will be most vigorously enforced by his department. This ruling puts it up squarely to each publisher to label all matter, other than display advertisements, for the publica- tion of which money or other valuable consideration is paid, accepted, or prom- ised, with the word "Advertisement" printed in full. Finally, in this connection attention is called to the fact that when a newspaper or periodical advertises its own services or issues, or any other business of the pub- lisher, in the form of either display ad- vertisements, or editorial or reading mat- ter, this is advertising within the mean- ing of the law and the publisher must ex- pect to pay the advertising mailing rate therefor. WILL H. HAYS, Postmaster General. 26741 (Ed. 2,000) The Weekly Review for May 14 has the following editorial on this head: We venture to hope that Postmaster General Hays will give his attention to another feature of the postal regulations which is not only silly but inflicts a seri- ous injury on the reading public. The excellent custom of mentioning the prices of books in connection with reviews of them has been penalized by classifying any such review as an advertisement. The consequence is that thousands of readers who would be inclined to order a book in which they had become interested through reading an account of it are debarred from doing so by ignorance of its price. This obstruction to the diffusion of knowl- edge and the enjoyment of literature is so stupid, and so utterly useless from any possible point of view, that it ought to reluire but a moment's independent thought to decide that it shall be brought to an end. (The Weekly Review, vol. 4, p. 450, May 14, 1921) COMMITTEE REPORTS, 1920-21 41 State legislation. There have been brought to the notice of your committee two or three items of state legislation. This has usually been done by individuals. The committee has uniformly replied that while it is always ready to advance de- sirable state legislation or to oppose sug- gested laws which seem to be adverse to library interests, it will not act in matters of state legislation except upon the ini- tiative of those having charge of state li- braries or state library commissions. Ex- ceptions to this policy will naturally be those states which are without any or ac- tive library commissions and where those in charge of the state library show no in- terest in library extension and develop- ment. An enlarged program Jor the commit- tee. Secretary Milam has made the fol- lowing suggestions. "I should like to see the Committee accept as its field the whole province of government service to Libraries. (I re- fer to the Federal government.) I should like to see it work up a plan of govern- ment aid to the library movement which could be submitted to the Association for its approval; then made the basis for our action in that field for a long time to come. "A great many librarians have said that many features of the Enlarged Program should be carried on, not by the American Library Association, but by the govern- ment. Perhaps the Committee could begin with the items in the Enlarged Program and could make recommendations as to which of these features should logically be carried on by the government, and how the Association can convince the gov- ernment that it should do the work." There are significant and hopeful pos sibilities in such a conception of the func tion of this committee. It has not seemed practicable this year to develop or prose- cute such an ambitious plan. The time has been too short and, a more potent reason still, the Executive Board and other com- mittees have been, and still are, actively at work arranging for government contin- uation of several forms of the Associa- tion's war work. Your committee has been kept fully informed as to their action and when, or if, arrangements are completed for the government to take over the hos- pital work and the merchant marine serv- ice, in addition to library work with the Army and Navy which it is now carrying, the Committee on Federal and State Re- lations may perhaps be the best agency through which the Association may keep a close watch on legislation, conference, in- terview, action and suggestions looking toward the fullest success of library work in government hands. The committee has done its bit of this work during the past six months by urg- ing with proper congressional committees the importance of and appropriations for the Army and Navy library work and by supporting A. L. A. proposals and plans for transfer of the hospital work to tea- eral authorities. Besides the particular matters treated above, attention has been given to a large correspondence and to other matters look- ing toward present or prospective federal action or legislation in behalf of libraries, such as, for example, a cheaper library book post, and a bill now before Congress, S. 61, "To provide for a library informa- tion service in the Bureau of Education." All of which is respectfully submitted. J. I. WYER, Chairman. ELIZABETH H. WEST. EDITH GUERRIER. CLARIBEL R. BARNETT. M. S. DUDGEON. JOHNSON BBIGHAM. H. H. B. MEYEB. MARTHA WILSOX. C. S. THOMPSON. FINANCE COMMITTEE See page 106 for report of this com- mittee. FOREIGN PUBLICATIONS This Committee was appointed inform- ally at the Round Table of University li- braries held in Chicago on December 31, 1919, and was formally appointed by the Executive Board on December 28, 1920. It now presents its first formal report of ac- tivities. 42 AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION Much to its regret, it is unable to pre- sent an easy and satisfactory solution of the problems of broken files of German periodicals during the war period. This lack of tangible result should, to a cer- tain extent, be charged to circumstances over which the Committee had no control, rather than to lack of interest or activity of the Committee. This statement is sub- mitted in explanation, and not as an ex- cuse. We found our first difficulty in the lack of information as to what was going on in Germany and the indefiniteness of the answers to our questions as to when the visible sources of supply of periodicals during the war period would be exhausted. Both of the importing houses in New York, which fill the greater part of the subscriptions for periodicals, assured us they were doing everything in their power to get full and satisfactory replies from their agents in Germany. These assur- ances, we believe, were given in good faith. Independent investigation convince us that on the part of German publishers there was, to put it mildly, a lack of interest in seeing that the files of American subscrib- ers were completed. Except in a few cases, we found no evidence of positive opposi- tion, though we did find evidence of de- cided indifference. We secured from the firms of G. E. Stechert & Company and Lemcke & Buech- ner two lists showing the German titles for which they had given up hopes of com- pleting the gaps on May 1, 1921. These titles are submitted as an appendix to this report. The firm of G. E. Stechert & Company stated, in submitting the list, that it had begun to reprint certain titles in Germany and that certain publishers in Germany had refused their consent to have re- prints made. At the date of this report we have not succeeded in learning which titles are being reprinted, nor can we learn how many publishers have refused consent, nor have we evidence that a sys- tematic or comprehensive attempt has been made to secure consent or refusal from all .publishers of periodicals with broken files. The same indefiniteness of information that has dogged our steps from the beginning, still clings close to the trail. If we have fuller information at the time of the meeting, it will give us pleasure to present it. As we understand the situation, the Stechert house has promised to secure by purchase in the open market, or by facsimile reprinting, all missing numbers for the war period. It is probable that this is a legal and valid obligation on the agent if he has been paid the sub- scription price for these periodicals. It is likewise probable that if this obligation should be insisted upon the agent would be forced into bankruptcy. In a printed circular letter, dated July 11, 1919, G. E. Stechert & Company made the following statement: "It seems to me that the libraries should not act individually to secure the lost periodicals. Many of the periodicals will have to be reprinted and the cost of reprinting them will have to be borne by the subscribers; the more subscribers the cheaper will be the cost of the re- print for each. It would seem poor busi- ness for a few libraries to pay an in- creased price for duplicates of lost period- icals if a reprint has to be made anyhow. "I now wish to propose and do make the 'following proposition to my custom- ers: I desire to refund the loss, for which I do not consider myself legally liable, un- der the circumstances, and I propose to do so as follows: "To all Libraries who may subscribe through me, as I hope my old customers all will, I will allow a deduction of 20 per cent of the loss from the next bill for Ger- man periodicals which the Libraries may order for 1919, or beginning with the next volume or number as far as periodicals are concerned that are issued irregularly and not by the year. "The remaining 80 per cent to be re- funded within the following five years by deduction from subscription bills for Ger- man periodicals. The loss would have to be figured only for the number actually not delivered at a pro rata rate. "After delivery of the periodicals just received fom Rotterdam and after further delivery, perhaps within two or three months, of the numbers which have been saved from the fire in Leipzig, the libra- COMMITTEE REPORTS, 1920-21 43 rians should send me a list of the period- icals, figuring the loss of the numbers at the proper rate according to the bills for subscriptions 1916 and 1917." So far as we can learn, no libraries have availed themselves of this offer. It is a question proper for discussion at the conference whether subscribing libraries had better insist upon this arrangement or suggest another. The Committee has not been content with dealing through the recognized agents, but has in addition sought other possible sources of assistance. Several conferences have been held with Prof. Franz Boas of Columbia University, who spoke on behalf of the Notgemeinschaft de deutsche Wissenschaft. This emer- gency organization of German University libraries, learned societies, etc., seeks primarily to secure foreign publications for the use of the co-operating institutions. The suggestion was made that if American libraries would care to exchange their du- plicates of American scientific periodicals and learned society publications, for du- plicates of similar publications in the Ger- man language in possession of the mem- bers of this Notgemeinschaft, material progress would T>e made in completing the files in both countries. To be sure, we do not know how much help the Not- gemeinschaft can give, but we can, at least, undertake to exchange with them on a piece for piece, or on a priced ex- change basis, the former if we have a satisfactory supply of American periodi- cals to offer them, the latter if we have no such supply. The- American libraries are now holding a certain number of duplicate German periodicals for the war period. We do not know the number so held, nor do we know how far they will go towards filling gaps, but if lists of these periodicals can be as- sembled, we shall be able to reduce some- what the list we shall later send to the Notgemeinschaft. In this connection Dr. Stephen P. Duggan, of the Institute of International Education, offered to supply the clerical help necessary to make a joint list of Ger- man periodicals for the war period needed to complete the files in American libraries and to compile a list of the duplicates held here. If this offer should be accepted, it will be necessary for the individual libra- ries to deliver to the Institute of Inter- national Education, 419 West 117th Street, New York City, their lists of wants ar- ranged in uniform shape. It will be neces- sary for the co-operating libraries to fur- nish in addition the editorial supervision necessary to combine these lists. The clerical expense of transcribing and com- bining these notes will, as stated above, be borne by the Institute if this offer is accepted. The Committee learns, after various con- ferences with men acquainted with the Ger- man book trade, that in the opinion of these men reprinting will not be necessary except in rare instances and that in some respects the best and surest method of fill- ing these gaps will be to turn the commis- sion over to some dealer in Germany, like Paul Gottschalk, of Berlin, or Otto Har- rassowitz, of Leipzig. Dealers such as these have a decided advantage compared with an agent for a New York house. In the first place they are German firms and are not the representative of a foreign house; in the second place they have a more constant and more comprehensive acquaintance with the sources of supply for second-hand periodicals than has the agent for a subscription house. If American libraries decide to take advantage of some such concern as Gottschalk of Harrasso- witz, they must recognize that the cost of replacement cannot be borne out of their payments already made to Stechert or Lemcke and Buechner. These new agents will, of course, have to be paid for their services and an equitable arrangement for sharing the cost would have to be worked out by the co-operating American libraries. The Committee feels emphatically that whatever action is taken should be in the form of union and co-operation. If all col- lege and reference libraries get together, the certainty of completing the files is in- creased. If we act individually, the in- 44 AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION evitable result will be that by bidding against one another, we raise the cost for all, and reduce for some, the possibility of completion -of files. As a basis for discussion at the Confer- ence we recommend: 1. That we take advantage of the oppor- tunity for exchange offered through the Notgemeinschaft and the Institute of Inter- national Education. 2. That we urge all libraries wishing to enter into this arrangement, to send to the Institute, not later than July 15th. (a) A list (in duplicate), of their de- siderata of German periodicals for the war period. (b) A list (in duplicate), of their dupli- cates of such periodicals for this period as they may have available for exchange with American libra- ries. These lists should be typewritten on sheets of uniform size, (Sy 2 inches wide by 11 inches long) ; under the titles of the periodicals the desiderata or duplicates should be listed with a new line for each volume or year; the name of the library and "lacks" or "has in duplicate" should be written in connection with each title. A suggested form of entry is given below. Akademie fur graphische Kunste and Buch- gewerbe. Mitteilungen. Leipzig. N. Y. P. L. lacks: 1915: no. 5 and all later issues to date. Electrotechnische Rundschau. Berlin. N. Y. P. L. lacks: 1914: Jg. 31, nos. 27 to 42 inclusive, 44 to end of year. 1916: Jg. 33, nos. 1 to 4 inclusive. 1919: Jg. 36, no. 24 to end of year. 3. That if after a reasonable time it ap- pears the limits of successful exchange have been reached, the remainder of the list of desiderata be placed in the hands of some reliable German agent and that he be instructed to secure the necessary numbers. 4. That libraries dealing with G. E. Stechert and Company accept the offer of repayment for numbers not furnished, as set forth earlier in the report. Respectfully submitted, H. M. LYDENBERG, Chairman. JAMES THAYER GEBOULD, WILLAHD AUSTEN. 19th May, 1921. INSTITUTIONAL LIBRARIES The A. L. A. Committee on libraries in Hospitals and charitable and correctional institutions wish to state, in lieu of any re- port, that it has given all its attention this year to publications on and for institu- tional libraries. We have especially consid- ered the preparation of a new edition of the pamphlet entitled "A thousand books for the hospital library" and have sent a recommendation to the A. L. A. Publishing Board asking them to consider the issuing of this new edition. The committee have agreed to co-operate under the editor-ship of Edith Kathleen Jones, as formerly, and to make the list larger and better adapted to the needs of general hospitals. They suggest that the name be changed to "Two thousand books for a hospital library." Respectfully submitfed, MIRIAM E. CAREY, Chairman. INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS Upon receiving the (customary) request of the Secretary for an early (advance) submission of "the annual report" of our Committee, I canvassed the members of the Committee for suggestions. Only one has responded with any. This may seem strange in view of the numerous evidences of library activities abroad, the several projects there which have sought counsel or co-operation or even specific aid from the United States, and the one particular enterprise (the American Library in Paris) which is still an active concern and obligation of the Association itself. The obvious inference is that in the opinion of all save one of the Committee COMMITTEE REPORTS, 1920-21 45 none of the above are exactly of the nature to require consideration by our Committee. The appeals from Europe e.g., that of the University of Louvain for funds and books in replenishment of its library, that of the American Library in Rome, also for books, that of Czechoslovakia for expert counsel in the organization of popular lending libraries, that of a group in Belgium, for counsel and material for children's libra- ries, that of a group of British scholars for an organized provision of literature for the impoverished faculties of the Central Powers these appeals are being dealt with specifically by agencies outside of the Asso- ciation, by other Committees within the Association, by A. L. A. Headquarters (in Chicago or in Paris) in the course of ordi- nary administration, or by individual libra- ries or librarians. The American Library in Paris is under the direct responsibility of our Executive Board itself. It is of course conceivable that our Com- mittee should watch, take note of, and re- port to the Association each new activity or phase of development abroad which may have interest for us either as an Associa- tion or as individuals. This is, I think, the idea of our member who suggests refer- ence to "the League resolution on the Inter- national Organization of intellectual work, the Paris work, the Louvain work, the libraries of the American schools at Rome and at Paris, the Library of the Labor Bureau at Geneva" and to the other evi- dences that the present is "an age of inter- nationalism and of co-operation." My impression of the functions of our Committee, however, an impression evi- dently shared by its members in general is that they are limited to the consideration of projects in which the Assoeiation as such can take part, or with which it should initiate an active relation. Unless, there- fore, the resources of the Association as- sure a possibility of such a participation or a relation be proposed for it involving it, or its policy, as an Association the con- sideration of it by our Committee would be premature, recommendations futile, and the mere presentation of facts or opportu- nities confusing. The one outstanding enterprise which does concern us, through which our Euro- pean relations of information and of service can most effectively be rendered, and upon which, therefore, all of our available re- sources should be concentrated, is the Library and Headquarters in Paris. But this, as remarked above, is now a care of the Executive Board itself, and has passed beyond the need of consideration by our Committee. Very respectfully, HERBERT PUTNAM, Chairman. Washington, D. C., May llth, 1921. INVESTIGATION OF MANNER IN WHICH MUNICIPALITIES ARE MEETING OBLIGATIONS TO DONORS. JUNE, 1921 It seemed best to your committee to first find out what the former committees had done before any fresh investigation was made in order to take up the work where it had stopped, if this was possible, and so avoid needless duplication and the possible annoyance of a second questionnaire with- in a comparatively short time upon the same subject. This preliminary investigation disclosed the fact that a committee had been ap- pointed in 1917 and a second in 1918. The previous correspondence was made avail- able to the present committee as there was no printed report by either. But a good deal of work had been accomplished. They had been in touch with the Carnegie Cor- poration of New York, and had the co- operation of Mr. Bertram who gave them the results of the questionnaires sent out by this Corporation reporting on the Car- negie libraries of the United States. This report showed that many towns having se- cured Carnegie Libraries were not fulfill- ing their pledges in supporting them. Six states having in all 55 Carnegie buildings (Ala.-2, Kan.-5, Ky.-4, I11.-15, Ohio-17, and Texas-11) had been "suspended" in 1914, i.e., no new Carnegie buildings would be 46 AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION given to those states until those towns had redeemed themselves. And the following aggressive program was planned by the earlier committee: 1. To send letters to libraries having sus- pended applications. 2. To appeal through State Library Com- mission directly to delinquent libra- ries, (a) to library boards, (b) to Mayors. 3. To send letters to state authorities as Commissions, Governors. 4. To send letters to State Library Associa- tions in states where Library Commis- sions do not exist or are weak. 5. To send advance warning to states near- ing the danger mark. 6. To reach delinquents: (a) Directly, (b) Through Commission, (c) State Associations. In carrying out this program letters were written to all the delinquents so re- ported by this Corporation, to see if these towns could not be persuaded to redeem themselves; also letters were written to places wanting buildings asking them to write to delinquents urging them to make good so other towns in that state would be in line to secure help from the Carnegie fund. But unfortunately, the further car- rying out of this program had to be put aside for war work. So your present committee, building on what has been done by their predecessors, planned to work on the following lines: 1. To secure a later report from the Car- negie Corporation to include (a) Delinquents in support of Car- negie buildings. (b) Delinquents in reporting only. (c) What the Carnegie Corporation had done to get delinquents to fulfill their obligations. A later report based on the 1920 ques- tionnaire was secured from the Carnegie Corporation, which showed much good had evidently been accomplished by the former agitation, for this report credits 16 states as having a perfect record Me., Vt, R.I., Conn., N. Y., Del., N. J., Md., W. Va., Miss., Iowa, S. Dak., Mont., Nev., Ariz., Cal.) ; 9 states with from l%-5% below (Mass., Ind., Ga., Mich., Wis., Minn., Kan., Ore., Wash.) ; 8 states with from 6%-10% below (Penn., Ala., 111., Mo., Neb., Wyo., Col., Utah) ; 7 states with from 11%-15% below (N. Hamp., Ohio, Ky., Tenn., La., Okla., Idaho) ; 5 states with from 16%-25% below (Va., N. Car., S. Car., Fla., N. Dak.) ; and 3 states with 25% below (Ark., Texas, N. Mex.). Only one of the states which in 1914 had been "sus- pended" was in the "black list" of 1920, and one had so far redeemed itself as to be in the second group from the top. And much of the trouble seems to come from "boom towns" slipping back with too great a burden left on their hands, or other deteri- oration in population or property values; often an indifference to the real meaning of the questionnaire, or the fact that accounts were not kept in a form to make the answering of questionnaire an easy matter, was responsible. The Carnegie Corporation stated that all it could logically do to change this senti- ment was to send to the various state libra- ry departments or library associations, a tabulated list of the libraries showing the records each state has made, leaving it to these bodies to take the matter up with the delinquent libraries. The shortness of time between the ap- pointment of the committee and the date for making a report has made it impossible to carry out any further investigation be- yond summarizing the figures received from the Carnegie Corporation. So that all your committee can do is to call your at- tention to the seriousness of the situa- tion as reflecting the attitude of mind of some communities towards the library and its support; the result as affecting further gifts for library buildings from the Car- negie Corporation; and the disastrous re- sults in communities which are doing with- out the library service they should have. And your committee would like to urge the A. L. A. to have this matter further considered by a subsequent committee which should be appointed at an early date so that an investigation and a report may COMMITTEE REPORTS, 1920-21 47 be made to the A. L. A. and that this report take into account: 1. The results of the questionnaires as furnished by the Carnegie Corpora- tion. 2. The legal status of local promise. 3. Statement as to what action each state library department or associa- tion has taken to remedy conditions and problems met. 4. That only somebody in closer rela- tions with the various towns such as a state library department or state library association, is in a position to carry on such an investigation intelli- gently and can make a report which will be fairer to both sides than a questionnaire sent out by the A. L. A. committee can possibly be. And suggests that the following action be taken : 1. That the Carnegie Corporation be re- quested to furnish the A. L. A. with a list of delinquents as often as an in- vestigation is made. 2. That the A. L. A. state the serious- ness of the situation to a state in hav- ing delinquent library support, unless there is some unusual reason for the same. 3. That the A. L. A. request each State Library Department, or where there are no such departments, the state library associations, or where there are no such associations, the Gov- ernor, local library boards, municipal officers, or other civic associations to make a thorough investigation of any town where Carnegie library build- ings are reported by the Carnegie Cor- poration as not being supported as per contract, and render a report to the A. L. A. 4. That either the A. L. A. or the various state departments or organizations publish a list of the delinquents. 5. That libraries giving the required 10% of the Carnegie Corporation are not living up to the spirit of the con- tract even if they are living up to the letter of it; that a larger requirement be set by the Carnegie Corporation of a per capita support of .50 and a popu- lation of 5,000, and that the contract contain a promise to answer the ques- tionnaires sent out by the Corpora- tion. 6. That in the future an effort be made to create the right spirit towards a library and its upkeep when the ques- tion of securing a building is con- sidered and at the same time suggest to the Carnegie Corporation that they get in touch with the various State Library Commissions before they make such grants. 7. That in recognition and appreciation of the interest Mr. Carnegie always took in establishing libraries and the manner in which the Carnegie Cor- poration has endeavored to continue to express this wish, that a copy of this report be sent to the Carnegie Corporation with a statement of what the A. L. A. plans to do to endeavor to remedy the trouble. And also call attention to the many places which have been giving a continual advance over the guaranteed amount to meet the growing needs of the library. Respectfully submitted, ANNA A. MACDONALD, Chairman. WM. J. HAMILTON, JOSEPH L. WHEELEB. JOINT COMMITTEE OF SEVEN The Joint Committee of Seven of the A. L. A. and the Special Libraries Associa- tion, held an informal meeting at Colorado Springs in connection with the A. L. A. annual meeting there, and another meeting in Detroit on September 25. A full report of the Detroit meeting was submitted to the Executive Board at the time and action taken thereon. This led to a reorganiza- tion of the committee. Since then there has been considerable correspondence, but no definite action has been taken by the Committee as a whole. It is expected to hold one or more meetings of this com- mittee at Swampcott. SAMUEL H. RANCK, Chairman. Grand Rapids, May 19, 1921. 48 AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION LEGISLATION A number of bills have just arrived from Wisconsin. No report has been received from Illinois where important bills were pending. The California legislature is still in session. I am still waiting for infor- mation from several other states. Our report will be not merely a sum- mary by states but a review of legislation by subject. For this reason it would not be feasible to print a partial report. There will probably be some details still lacking at the time of the A. L. A. Conference, but I intend to have a report ready at that time. WM. F. YUST, Chairman. LIBRARY ADMINISTRATION A uniform form for library statistics was adopted by the Association in 1914. This form was distributed to some six or seven hundred libraries by the Secretary of the American Library Association and was used for reporting the work of those libra- ries to headquarters. The Association urged that all libraries use that form in preparing their own annual reports for publication as well as for submitting data annually to the headquarters of the Amer- ican Library Association. During the war the form went out of print and the reports from the libraries to headquarters were discontinued. The President of the Association felt in the fall of 1920 that the old form should be leprinted, or revised and printed, in order that the Secretary's office might have on file as much data as possible on the public libraries of the country submitted in a form that was easily comparable. She, therefore, asked the Committee on Library Administration to consider a revision of the old form. There was insufficient time to work it over as carefully as was desir- able, but a tentative revision was devised by the Committee and was distributed by the Secretary to the libraries of the coun- try in March. A considerable number of items were added to the old form and a few eliminations made. It seemed desir- able that the reports without being too long be as complete as possible, partly in order to reduce to a minimum the necessity of questionnaires. A brief outline of salary schedules and a number of additional items under the heading "Finance" were in- cluded. The form as revised is merely tentative and it is expected that the criti- cisms and suggestions which may be brought forth by its use will make it pos- sible to improve the form for a larger printing during the coming year. It was not possible in the short time available to make a careful investigation as to the applicability of the form to college and reference libraries. It is hoped that data may be obtained by this Committee at the meeting of College and Reference Sec- tion at Swampscott. In January the Director of Library Ex- tension of the Bureau of Education took up with the Secretary of the Association the question of the Bureau of Education and the Association co-operating in the plans for a new edition of "Public, Society, and School Libraries." The Secretary referred the matter to the Committee on Library Administration and the Chairman began a correspondence with the Bureau of Educa- tion in regard to the matter. However, after consultation with the Committee on Federal and State Relations it seemed best to have that committee take over the negotiations with the Bureau of Educa- tion, and that course was adopted. FRANKLIN F. HOPPER, Chairman. LIBRARY CO-OPERATION WITH OTHER COUNTRIES The object of this committee is not new in library endeavor but it is the first ef- fort of the national body to organize a definite scheme of co-operation, general enough in its plan to be useful to any library or group of libraries that might wish to enter into relations for mutual benefit. There have been several objects kept in view in the minds of the committee which it would like to present to the members of the association, asking them to give similar heed in the matter. COMMITTEE REPORTS, 1920-21 49 The Smithsonian Institute for 40 years has been a medium of exchange and an agent for forwarding publications from the United States to foreign institutions and receiving for the United States libraries in return, publications from foreign collections so that in a way, there is nothing new in the relations which the committee hopes will grow from this small beginning of the new endeavor. But the relations heretofore have been personal, since the University of Berlin, the University of Oxford and the University of Bombay have been able to send to Princeton, Harvard, Stanford and Chicago through the kind offices of the Smithson- ian Institute any printed material which they wish to reach these institutions. These latter in return have sent to th.eir correspondents through the kind offices of the Smithsonian Institute such of their material as it has been their pleasure to present to these foreign universities. A general examination of the subject has revealed the fact that there is a lamentable lack of collections of modern books from foreign countries even in the collections in our best universities. It is hoped that one of the results of the activities of the committee of this year will be to draw out notices of collections that may be in the country which may have escaped attention in the survey which has been made by the sub-committees on the subject and this is particularly true as it relates to material from the Far East. As the chairman of the sub-committee on that division points out, it is imperative that the university libraries, the reference libraries and the great scholarly collections of this country do much more than they have done to add books from China, Japan, India and material from countries that have lately changed their form and extent of government but which are old in civil- ization and in literature, some of which forms the basis of other writings and are necessarily included in any collection that attempts to deserve the name scholarly. If these collections of books in America are to furnish knowledge, understanding and information, not only of conditions and people, their customs and govern- mental and social relations, but also if they are to understand as they should the points of view, the mental attitude and the intellectual contributions which emi- grants from those countries are bringing with them as contributions to the develop- ment of our American life, it is the opinion of the committee that it is impossible to build up collections that will really be of value and service by going into the mar- kets in those countries and buying what- ever these markets may have to offer but that the collection should be made in co- operation with the understanding and ap- preciation of the book people of the two countries and that this can be brought about through the good offices and by the sincere effort of the American Library Association and by no other means. It has been estimated that there are in the neighborhood of 3,000 foreign stu- dents in the universities of the United States today who have come to study and to learn of American standards and ideas on every subject in the curricula, but espe- cially in the social, economic and political sciences. One need not enter into a discussion of the value of having in our American li- braries printed materal obtained from the native countries of these students for use in comparison and judgments if the stu- dents are to obtain that for which they have come. It seemed to the members of the com- mittee that a survey of the field that might be interested, in view of the factors in the matter, was of prime importance before any organized work could be economically started and that has been the chief aim in all that the committee so far has done. There were by-products of the activity in this direction, such as requests for in- formation relating to material, as to where and how it could be obtained, offers of exchange both of material and service and 50 AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION always an interest in and desire for the proposed co-operation which, in view of the tentative ideas in relation to the scope and extent of the committee's activities, were sometimes embarrassing. Your Handbook has given you the divi- sion of the labors assumed by the com- mittee and the chairman must say in re- porting for the sub-committees that her part has only been to hold the basket while very conscientious groups of sub-commit- tees have poured in their finds in the terri- tories assigned to them. Reports from the Far East are given herewith as a result of commendable work on the part of Miss Marvin and Mr. Bishop. Miss Moore and Miss Carson report on France and Belgium. Mr. Hicks and Dr. Goldsmith present their report on the Latin-American countries. The chairman has made connection with a number of other countries reports on which will ap- pear in full in the proceedings. The Library for American Studies in Italy which was organized in Rome in 1920 under the patronage of Ambrose Johnson and other Americans, is intended to supply the great lack of authentic, in- formative literature on American subjects in Italian libraries and to supply data on Italy to American libraries. The purpose of the institution is to enlighten each of the two nations upon the true character and supreme purpose of the other. The collection of material for this li- brary was begun in 1918 and at present con- sists of 6,000 carefully selected volumes and pamphlets covering every phase of American activity. These have been classi- fied and cataloged and are freely available for use. A handsome reading-room was fitted up in honor of William H. Cheney, the first American aviator to lose his life in Italy. The library is open for reference to the public and books are loaned to university students, men in public life and journal- ists. There is the greatest enthusiasm over the library, both in the Italian circle which is interested and in the American colony. While it has been only indirectly due to the influence of the A. L. A. and not at all to this committee, it may be men- tioned here that for a number of years groups of Scandinavian college graduates interested in library service as a career have attended selected library schools in America and there has grown to be a com- pany of not inconsiderable size and in- fluence of such librarians, particularly in Norway and Denmark. A very considerable portion of the An- nual Report of the Director of the Divi- sion of Intercourse in Education, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, March 16, 1921, is devoted to library matters. The belief is expressed in that report sev- eral times that a library is the most fit- ting expression of the hope which the Carnegie Endowment entertains of power- ful bonds of friendships and understanding between the United States and other coun- tres. Each gift is appropriately act out with expressions of good will as follows: Two hundred thousand for erecting and equipping library building in the city of Rheims. (pp. 3-6.) One hundred thousand for the building and equipping of an appropriate library for the University of Belgrade, (pp. 6-9.) Collections of books consisting of about 2,000 volumes each on American history and institutions, were sent to libraries in London, Paris, Peking, Rome, Tokio, and Zurich, (pp. 15-19.) Similar collections of books are being assembled for the University of Strassburg, France, and for the University of Bel- grade, Servia. (p. 19.) Suhventions were made by the European Bureau to the Frederick Passy library, frs. 4,000 to the Bibliotheque Americaine de la Sorbonne, frs. 1,000. The committee wishes to commend to li- brarians the example of the public library, Newark, N. J., in preparing, printing and distributing lists of books relating to the Far East. These were sent to importers and business concerns likely to be in- terested in New Jersey and also sent to COMMITTEE REPORTS, 1920-21 61 certain centers of influence in the coun- tries abroad interested. Libraries can help in developing larger international friend- liness which depends almost entirely on greater mutual understanding. There have coine to the committee sev- eral inquiries from European librarians with well-rounded academic education but without systematized library training as to the assistance that might be offered for them to come to America for the study of library service approved by the A. L. A. To obtain a fitting answer for these prob- lems has given the committee considerable concern and it is with the deepest regret that we are not able to report at this time that any satisfactory arrangements have been made toward the accepting of such a worthy activity. It is able to re- port, however, that two of the standard library schools have offered free tuition to any librarian recommended by the com- mittee for its services. The committee has not given up hope, however, that this en- larged program of usefulness for libraries may contribute to better understanding and consequent international friendliness. An example has been set by the Ameri- can Home Economics Association which has sent one of the expert members to or- ganize and develop a department of Home Economics in the American College for Girls in Constantinople and for which the American Home Economics Association with only 1,300 members raised $6,000 for the support of the department for three years. The raison d' etre of this committee is the fact that there is a stream of corres- pondence relating to American library serv- ice flowing to and from the libraries in foreign countries, between individual li- braries on both sides, between individuals interested in libraries and sometimes be- tween official or semi-official representatives of foreign countries and private citizens personally but not professionally interested in collections of books and not acquainted with library service. The committee has given its sincere at- tention to the subject of relations with foreign libraries, believing fully in the power for good to all concerned by a strong, certain and sane international relation in library service. MART EILEEN AHEBN, Chairman. Preliminary Report of Sub-Committee on Libraries in the Far East By Cornelia Marvin, State Librarian of Oregon, Chairman The chairman asked Mr. William Warner Bishop to collect, for the committee, data on East Asiatic Collections in American Libraries, reserving for herself the inter- esting duty of collecting data on "Libraries of the Orient." Miss Wead was in process or removing from Washington to Nanking; so her services for this year were not avail- able. Requests for statements were made of Mr. Tse Chien Tai, librarian of Tsing Hua Collection in Peking, China; and of Miss Mary Polk, of the Bureau of Science in Manila, Phillipine Islands. Reports have been received from Mr. T. Sasaoka of Japan and Mr. Tai of China and are presented herewith. There is much to be added to these re- ports, in order to inform American li- brarians in regard to library conditions and opportunities in the Orient, and, what is of more value, the opportunity and pos- sibility of making for their own libraries, collections of material about the Orient and of books in the English language printed in the Orient. Collections of books written in the languages of Eastern Asia will be confined to the few great libraries, but all librarians will be interested in knowing about these collections, and more especially about the character of the literature in them; this latter subject to be covered by a later report. The chairman of the sub-committee re- grets that it is impossible to report fully at this time and suggests that a committee be continued for the purpose of collecting information and of making known to the public the library and research opportuni- ties open to students and scholars on both 52 AMERICAN LIBRARY ASSOCIATION sides of the Pacific, and more especially to create a feeling of friendship and cordial relations between the librarians of the two countries. East Asiatic Collections in American Libraries Preliminary Report by William Warner Bishop, 'Librarian University of Michigan 1. Definition: This report has to do merely with collections of books written in the languages of Eastern Asia which are found in American libraries. It takes no account of books about either the countries, the life, or the literature of Eastern Asia, but confines itself entirely to books in Chinese, Manchu, Japanese, Korean, Tibe- tan, Siamese and other languages spoken in Eastern Asia. 2. Scope: The report in this prelimi- nary stage lists merely the larger and well- known collections found in a few large li- braries. No attempt is here made at more than a mere general statement about each collection, with occasio
