| 33494 | Then why do we have free libraries and free schools? |

| 45756 | Are you not in the valley of the Loire? |
| 45756 | At A. L. A. headquarters? |
| 45756 | At some library center like Boston, New York, Philadelphia or St. Louis? |
| 45756 | At the Library of Congress or under the auspices of some active state library commission? |
| 45756 | But could a course be planned that would fit candidates for such positions? |
| 45756 | But creating the reading habit-- well, is that quite the same thing? |
| 45756 | But do they always go the whole distance? |
| 45756 | But has he learned how to use the library? |
| 45756 | But has not the heaping of instruction upon enforced passivity led to an atrophy of the love of constructive creative labor? |
| 45756 | But is not this going far enough? |
| 45756 | But the wail of the professor provokes the question: Where do all the scholars and thinkers of the world come from? |
| 45756 | But when we pause to ask,"What do they read?" |
| 45756 | But who can frame a code of rules or formulate principles through which consistency in subject headings may be attained? |
| 45756 | Ca n''t you see the frowning front of Chinon, the gracious facade of Asay- le- Rideau, the lacelike stairway of Blois, the massive turrets of Amboise? |
| 45756 | Can it be that the library profession is the only one in which a systematic progression is not generally demanded? |
| 45756 | Can not the courses be simplified somewhat to permit this? |
| 45756 | Can they not co- operate with the American library association in presenting the claims and rewards of librarianship to young men in the universities? |
| 45756 | Catalog in loose- leaf form on something the same principle as Nelson''s Cyclopedia? |
| 45756 | Collation To include paging? |
| 45756 | Could it not be done that way? |
| 45756 | Debates also are an important feature of the history recitation:"Which contributed most to civilization, the Greeks or the Romans?" |
| 45756 | Detective or amorous? |
| 45756 | Did he talk about grammar? |
| 45756 | Do we get our bankers from business colleges, or the managers and presidents of our railroads from schools of engineering? |
| 45756 | Do we need an index? |
| 45756 | Do we perchance throw them into one great group and call them the public as distinguished from librarians? |
| 45756 | Do you doubt it? |
| 45756 | Do you remember that Miss Kelso said that we should be able to produce evidence in the way of results for the value of our work? |
| 45756 | Do you think the same kind of pictures come into the mind of the Frenchman as come into the mind of the German? |
| 45756 | Do you think the same sort of pictures are in the mind of the Englishman as are in the mind of the American? |
| 45756 | Do your clothes represent your individual taste? |
| 45756 | Does he not miss it now? |
| 45756 | Does it not rest with the library to teach persistently, systematically, and by every practicable means, how and where to find what to read? |
| 45756 | Does the community anywhere concern itself to give such opportunities? |
| 45756 | Dr. BOSTWICK: May I say just a word from the standpoint of one who is interested in the product of the library school, as making use of that product? |
| 45756 | Dreams? |
| 45756 | Drury, F. K. W.,"Do we need a short story index?" |
| 45756 | Finally, how are the library and business to co- operate for their mutual advantage? |
| 45756 | For book selection, a well nigh perfect technique has been established, but is technique enough? |
| 45756 | For if this is the day of the index, is it any less that of the short story? |
| 45756 | For these is not the library responsible? |
| 45756 | Had you thought about that? |
| 45756 | Handy, D. N.,"Library as a business asset; when and how?" |
| 45756 | Handy, to put your suggestion in the form of a motion now or later? |
| 45756 | Have books any compelling power over those who merely come into their presence, unless such people love the books or at least wish to read them? |
| 45756 | Have we any right to expect a library school to provide more than a small part of that experience and environment? |
| 45756 | Have we looked well to his necessary book qualifications and to his continued opportunities for improvement while serving the library? |
| 45756 | Have we not then three distinct classes of publications which can be indexed with profit? |
| 45756 | Have you any way of knowing? |
| 45756 | Have you ever been disappointed in reading a story? |
| 45756 | Have you ever seen a short story reviewed? |
| 45756 | Have you not often wished to know if it were a"good"one or"worth while"before you began it? |
| 45756 | Here we have the citizen at our mercy, why not see what we can do with him to help the cause of universal education? |
| 45756 | How and under what conditions did the early collegiate and monastic bodies part with these? |
| 45756 | How are they determined? |
| 45756 | How are we doing this? |
| 45756 | How are we to determine who is destined for administrative work and who for work of another sort? |
| 45756 | How can that co- operation be brought about? |
| 45756 | How can we share our treasures with a public that too often fails to appreciate its need for them? |
| 45756 | How can we tell about these short stories? |
| 45756 | How conserve their strength, well- being and joy? |
| 45756 | How could you have done it? |
| 45756 | How create the"leaven''d and preparà © d choice?" |
| 45756 | How do you find in which volume of Kipling is printed"Thrawn Janet"or his"Man who would be king?" |
| 45756 | How does he go about it? |
| 45756 | How far does any of this machinery go in advertising books as to their subject and scope, as the program has it? |
| 45756 | How inclusive shall our list be made? |
| 45756 | How leave him free to choose in a wide field? |
| 45756 | How many Americans of native stock? |
| 45756 | How many children of foreign born parents? |
| 45756 | How many copies of"The necklace"can you supply? |
| 45756 | How many library assistants really do read books for the joy of it? |
| 45756 | How many of the news- stand best sellers shall be admitted? |
| 45756 | How many of these are occupied with the actual writing of the titles? |
| 45756 | How many persons between the grades of head of department and clerical attendants are connected with your cataloging force? |
| 45756 | How many residents of foreign birth? |
| 45756 | How may the public library best meet the needs of these people, so many and so diverse? |
| 45756 | How may we coöperate in all this work by supplying the necessary books? |
| 45756 | How may we give others the practical knowledge that is needed by them in their varied occupations and activities? |
| 45756 | How much of that mental imagery have you secured as a result of your own first hand experience? |
| 45756 | How much of that mental imagery represents original thinking? |
| 45756 | How much of that psychic panorama have you received ready- made from the society to which you belong? |
| 45756 | How recent then shall we make our list? |
| 45756 | How shall such publicity as will give this knowledge of it be given? |
| 45756 | How shall we bring to the knowledge of the people information relating to this great work? |
| 45756 | How show, how make known the attraction and stored power of books? |
| 45756 | How would lawyers get on but for their monopoly of archaic forms of speech? |
| 45756 | If a central reference bureau is to be established, what form shall it take? |
| 45756 | If it is, then why have we not profited more by what we already know? |
| 45756 | If the colleges claim that there are few among their students who have any real knowledge of books, should not we count the failure partly ours? |
| 45756 | If the library commanded respect would it not receive funds? |
| 45756 | Imprint? |
| 45756 | In face of all this, where does the library of today stand? |
| 45756 | In how many grades are these divided? |
| 45756 | In how many has this joy been killed; in how many has it never been created? |
| 45756 | Indeed, have you not often refrained from reading one for fear of wasting your time? |
| 45756 | Is he not better that he finds for himself in the book what feeds his mind? |
| 45756 | Is it better to enter under Chemistry, Physiological, or Physiological chemistry? |
| 45756 | Is it enough to turn a man loose in a roomful of books, all beckoning to him and standing in rows expectant to be chosen, like children in a game? |
| 45756 | Is it not needed? |
| 45756 | Is it not possible, in a small way at least, to cultivate their taste and give them some desire to read what is worth while? |
| 45756 | Is n''t it as good a story as ever Anthony Hope or as ever George Barr McCutcheon wrote? |
| 45756 | Is not the value of Granger immensely increased by the topical index? |
| 45756 | Is not this the day of the index? |
| 45756 | Is the library, then, a business asset? |
| 45756 | Is the library, too, becoming materialized? |
| 45756 | Is the stream going steadily on, or is it rather like a babbling brook, making a pleasant murmur but with little power? |
| 45756 | Is there a science of administration which can be taught? |
| 45756 | Is there any relation between this dearth of idealism and the reading habits of the nation? |
| 45756 | It might be more soul- satisfying to me to hand out to my chicken boy books that minister to more attenuated needs-- but what about the boy? |
| 45756 | It runs--"... Have you laid the foundation of a great public library in California? |
| 45756 | May I ask Mr. R. R. Bowker, whom I see in the box, to reply for the audience? |
| 45756 | May I tell you what my thinking has been? |
| 45756 | May not the library expect good measure of publicity from the reputation it has for real accomplishment? |
| 45756 | Moreover, what is the use of cramming them down his throat when you can squirt them into him with a psychological hypodermic? |
| 45756 | Most of them have been written about for librarians; why ca n''t we have them written about now for the general public? |
| 45756 | Mr HANDY: Will it be in order now to take up the matter of special education for the special training of library assistants? |
| 45756 | Must we read every one to find out? |
| 45756 | My problem is the much more practical: What part of the work of a library staff is meant when cataloging is spoken of in an annual report? |
| 45756 | Newspapers, periodicals, novels, the popular books of the hour-- yes, but how many of the books of all time? |
| 45756 | Next on the program was Mr. A. G. S. JOSEPHSON''S query WHAT IS CATALOGING? |
| 45756 | Not books? |
| 45756 | Now of what value will this course be in providing teaching experience to the normal student? |
| 45756 | Now what will the earning power of this special reference library be? |
| 45756 | Now, does the need exist for librarians who are trained to teach? |
| 45756 | Now, how does the librarian advertise? |
| 45756 | Of course Canadian wood means the wood of the maple and how does that wonderful close fiber come into being? |
| 45756 | Or because Botany, Structural, is preferable to Structural botany, should we use Physics, Agricultural, instead of Agricultural physics? |
| 45756 | Or shall they be aliens and only admitted when really anglicized? |
| 45756 | Or shall we stay within the circle of the Readers''Guide and the Magazine subject index? |
| 45756 | Precisely what significance do you give to''life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?''" |
| 45756 | Psychological or mysterious? |
| 45756 | Shall it be attached to some institution already in operation or exist independently? |
| 45756 | Shall the Saturday Evening Post and the two Sunday magazines be indexed? |
| 45756 | Shall the short stories in foreign tongues fraternize with their English cousins? |
| 45756 | Shall we anticipate the Get- rich- quick Wallingford tale announced for next month? |
| 45756 | Shall we double star the 100 best and star the 500 next? |
| 45756 | Shall we then describe what we have in mind when we speak of the library that may become a business asset? |
| 45756 | Shaw, R. K.,"Is the establishment of a central reference bureau desirable?" |
| 45756 | Should we not expect the schools to supply more men? |
| 45756 | Supplied information to be bracketed? |
| 45756 | THE LIBRARY AS A BUSINESS ASSET; WHEN AND HOW? |
| 45756 | The PRESIDENT: What is your pleasure, Ladies and Gentlemen? |
| 45756 | The PRESIDENT: What is your pleasure? |
| 45756 | The VICE- PRESIDENT: Do you wish the committee to be continued? |
| 45756 | The governors of sovereign states come together, for what? |
| 45756 | The question is, can the schools go further than this? |
| 45756 | The question may be raised,"How shall we secure the money for this great work?" |
| 45756 | The questions remaining are: What kind of co- operation is most effective? |
| 45756 | The topic has been changed by the speaker so, that it reads,"The library as a business asset; when and how?" |
| 45756 | Then the question comes, are you helping, yourself, to make up these bibliographies? |
| 45756 | Under Negro suffrage or Negroes-- Suffrage? |
| 45756 | Under Psychology, Educational, or Educational psychology? |
| 45756 | WHAT DO THE PEOPLE WANT? |
| 45756 | Was there ever a time when pictorial imagery was presented to the public as in these days? |
| 45756 | We are to get the answer to the question,"What do the people want?" |
| 45756 | We may now ask ourselves: What would be the scope of the entries? |
| 45756 | Welles, Jessie,"What do the people want?" |
| 45756 | What Granger is to poetry, may we not compile for the short story? |
| 45756 | What are some of the revelations which have been made to those of us who reluctantly undertook this work some eight or ten years ago? |
| 45756 | What are the pictures that come into your minds as librarians? |
| 45756 | What are the races represented-- English speaking, Germanic, Slavic, Latin, etc.? |
| 45756 | What are the social and economic conditions? |
| 45756 | What are the things that matter in training? |
| 45756 | What are their occupations? |

| 45756 | What does it mean when a librarian states that a certain number of assistants have during a certain period cataloged a certain number of books? |
| 45756 | What does"public"signify in Canada and the United States? |
| 45756 | What has occupation to do with conservation? |

| 45756 | What manufacturing is done, and what raw materials are used? |
| 45756 | What means the present commotion which bursts through conventional conventions of polite speech? |
| 45756 | What of its markets? |
| 45756 | What of its transportation? |
| 45756 | What of their education and à ¦ sthetic development? |
| 45756 | What shall I do?" |
| 45756 | What shall be done that this"light of human achievement"shall penetrate the cloud of ignorance and cause the lamp of wisdom to burn in every home? |
| 45756 | What shall be the principles of buying? |
| 45756 | What shall the tests of fitness for such service be? |
| 45756 | What sort of a stream of consciousness have I? |
| 45756 | When that picture comes on the screen of your mind the spectator within you shrinks and says:"Why must we look at that? |
| 45756 | When we have to make conversation, what do we do? |
| 45756 | When you look at the turrets of that beautiful Chateau Laurier, what do you see? |
| 45756 | Where shall we draw our line? |
| 45756 | Where shall we draw this line? |
| 45756 | Where should such an agency be established? |
| 45756 | Who are the people whom we are to serve? |
| 45756 | Who are we but"the public"to the actor, the artist, the man in the railway office? |
| 45756 | Who is the original person? |
| 45756 | Who knows it? |
| 45756 | Why did you choose the last book you read? |
| 45756 | Why do so many men give up reading when they leave college? |
| 45756 | Why do the pleasant little informal chats in the Chicago book bulletin about the troubles of the reference department meet with so wide a response? |
| 45756 | Why do we not give them something more than a bare list of accessions? |
| 45756 | Why do you dress as you do? |
| 45756 | Why do your people flock over to those prairies? |
| 45756 | Why does he not try to do a little of that which the merchant spends millions in trying to do-- transmit that confidence to his patron? |
| 45756 | Why is Mr. Wellman''s charming booklet about"Some modern verse"still kept in every librarian''s little private file of things really worth keeping? |
| 45756 | Why is it that when we receive the St. Louis bulletin, we turn first to the page of"Books I like and why I like them?" |
| 45756 | Why not also the short story? |
| 45756 | Why should I have cloth in my house because it is cheap-- when it is transfused by the blood of women in Leeds? |
| 45756 | Why should I want a coat on my back that carries with it the stain of tears from children who have had no chance? |
| 45756 | Why should a public library put an expensive assistant into a high school, where, after all, the actual numbers affected are small? |
| 45756 | Why should there have been? |
| 45756 | Why to Chest and not to Lungs? |
| 45756 | Why try to say it again when the philosopher has said it so exactly? |
| 45756 | Why, when his business is book selection, and he knows he prosecutes it faithfully, is he so afraid of being caught at it? |
| 45756 | Why? |
| 45756 | Why? |
| 45756 | Will not some library make trial of this method? |
| 45756 | Will the secretary please read once more the recommendations from the report of the Executive board? |
| 45756 | With definite assignments, under an editor- in- chief, is not this index possible? |
| 45756 | Without the subject characterization one man could do it, but would not one of the most valuable features be omitted? |
| 45756 | Would not such an index show that this story appeared in the Century for January, 1902, under the title"The gentleman of the plush rocker"? |
| 45756 | You laugh at that, but how about"Harry Richmond?" |
| 45756 | and,"Which can pay the higher salary-- public library or high school?" |
| 45756 | free public library, spoke on the subject IS THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A CENTRAL REFERENCE BUREAU DESIRABLE? |

| 45756 | to investigate cost and method of cataloging, 193;"What is cataloging?" |
| 44406 | ''Can we help the thing forward at all?'' 44406 Do you want a special flower?" |
| 44406 | Nasty, yourself,ejaculated the nettle sharply,"why do you come shoving against me?" |
| 44406 | Plants and her childrenis a valuable book, but would not its merits be greatly enhanced if the scientific facts were told in simple language? |
| 44406 | Well, what other books of Kipling''s on_ agriculture_ have you? |
| 44406 | Why did you take up library work? |
| 44406 | Will the public buy the book and pay for it? |
| 44406 | ''Well,''said I,''is it not an inspiration to live in the era of the placard; and what do you mean to do for the Great American Bill Board Trust?'' |
| 44406 | A MEMBER: Does this recommendation say_ Journal_ or journals? |
| 44406 | A MEMBER: I would like to ask Mr. Hutchins if he has forgotten that we have something besides the readers in our Wisconsin schools? |
| 44406 | A MEMBER: Or Andrew Lang? |
| 44406 | Along what lines? |
| 44406 | And how amid the volume and variety of the accumulated literature of the ages shall we proceed? |
| 44406 | And how much encouragement have they to read in most factories? |
| 44406 | And why, if we can help it, should public money ever be spent for aught but the public good? |
| 44406 | Are bulletins sufficiently useful and effective to pay for the outlay of time and money? |
| 44406 | Are class rooms needed as in a college library? |
| 44406 | Are special rooms needed for high school students? |
| 44406 | Art gallery? |
| 44406 | As Mr. Galbreath asks, if a community is anxious to read, will you supply that, or will you stir somebody up that does not want your supplies? |
| 44406 | Assume for a moment that his forecast is sound, and that it applies beyond the immediate bounds of science, what does it mean for librarianship? |
| 44406 | At just what age do girls and boys cease to be children? |
| 44406 | Average yearly increase? |
| 44406 | BOOK REVIEWS, BOOK LISTS, AND ARTICLES ON CHILDREN''S READING: ARE THEY OF PRACTICAL VALUE TO THE CHILDREN''S LIBRARIAN? |
| 44406 | Beautiful? |
| 44406 | But how about the books themselves? |
| 44406 | But how after all their training and preparation are librarians, library workers or students of library science to keep abreast of the time? |
| 44406 | But how shall the blind lead the blind? |
| 44406 | By what class will library be chiefly used? |
| 44406 | By whom? |
| 44406 | CHAIRMAN: Before we have the show of hands, may I say one thing more? |
| 44406 | CHAIRMAN: Is there any further discussion on this topic? |
| 44406 | CHAIRMAN: Is there anything more to say on this subject? |
| 44406 | CHAIRMAN: Possibly that it so; but if we gain a truth, what then? |
| 44406 | Can anything new be said, or old ideas placed in a new light, so as to be worthy of hearing and attention at this time? |
| 44406 | Can state commissions provide travelling libraries for hamlets which furnish the money, and make such hamlets travelling library stations? |
| 44406 | Can the librarian take his place and send the orders in to the publishers? |
| 44406 | Club rooms? |
| 44406 | Correct? |
| 44406 | Could we have a copyright note by which each author should furnish the desired facts? |
| 44406 | Do not the methods for realizing this end seem to be as deserving of systematic study as the details of classification and of cataloging? |
| 44406 | Do the arguments which have induced the public librarian to establish branches and delivery stations apply in the case of the university library? |
| 44406 | Does anybody want to move that the Council be asked to support this bill? |
| 44406 | Does it possess the characteristics that make it such; and is that work more nearly professional than otherwise, which lies at its hands to be done? |
| 44406 | Elevators? |
| 44406 | Essential purpose of the book: Recreative? |
| 44406 | First of all, is librarianship a profession? |
| 44406 | For children or adults? |
| 44406 | For example, Pittsburgh Carnegie Library and Atlanta Carnegie Library-- introducing the word Carnegie right after the city? |
| 44406 | For example, will you always say"Fürst von"instead of the English form, and"Graf von,"etc.? |
| 44406 | Foreigners would not buy our books under the same circumstances and why should we buy theirs? |
| 44406 | Has any one any objection to this Jenkins bill, which, on its face, promises to be so useful to us? |
| 44406 | Has anybody anything to say? |
| 44406 | Has anybody succeeded in getting from the railroads or express companies special concessions for the transportation of library books? |
| 44406 | Has the maker of the list read them? |
| 44406 | Have we not all of us at times felt oppressed and confused by the seemingly endless array of pictures at a large art exhibit? |
| 44406 | Have we not yet to learn by just what lessons and what practice work the reference use of the public library can best be taught to children? |
| 44406 | Have we such a body? |
| 44406 | Heat? |
| 44406 | How are we to know whether a book is good or poor? |
| 44406 | How are we to make a choice? |
| 44406 | How are you going to do it? |
| 44406 | How can I reach the foreign people that hardly have the English language in their homes, and scarcely in the schools? |
| 44406 | How can she do it? |
| 44406 | How can you give the people the best reading for the least amount of money? |
| 44406 | How many assistants? |
| 44406 | How many square feet for each of the above rooms? |
| 44406 | How many stories? |
| 44406 | How shall the teacher who herself never has learned to know, to enjoy, and to choose good books guide others to do so? |
| 44406 | How should a sixth grade pupil make a selection from the 60 painters in Mrs. Jameson''s book? |
| 44406 | How so? |
| 44406 | How would that apply to books not in the condition in which they were published? |
| 44406 | How, then, can we expect to teach it; to urge a thing in regard to which we are not yet free of all doubts? |
| 44406 | I am asked"How to secure a state library commission?" |
| 44406 | If a story, What is the strongest character in it? |
| 44406 | If for children, of what age? |
| 44406 | If instructors can not use the books, how can the student be expected to do so? |
| 44406 | If it is so, why separate the contents note from the title by other relatively unimportant matter? |
| 44406 | If it were not, would it not be nonsense to print the contents note? |
| 44406 | If that is what we want to accomplish, can we do it best with the book store or with the library? |
| 44406 | If the National Library is to_ be_ the national library----? |
| 44406 | If the library is large will there be an open shelf room separate from the main book room? |
| 44406 | If they do not think it likely that ultimately they will use the 33 card why should they take all that trouble? |
| 44406 | In one case in 10 where they would have to transcribe on the second card, is there any reason why it could not be done? |
| 44406 | In other words, if there is a field that is rather poor, will you cultivate that at the expense of another field that yields a good crop? |
| 44406 | In the remote parts of the state, where the population is small, wo n''t the tendency be to have one great library dominate the whole state? |
| 44406 | Instructive? |
| 44406 | Is a stack needed? |
| 44406 | Is a work room needed? |
| 44406 | Is it an aid to the pupils? |
| 44406 | Is it going to pay to introduce a new ganglion-- that is, the county library? |
| 44406 | Is it in the nature of things possible that we should have such a body? |
| 44406 | Is it not actually, in almost nine cases out of ten, more important than the title itself? |
| 44406 | Is it not better to pay for what we get? |
| 44406 | Is it not then fitting that we spend time and effort to educate young people to the use of the public library? |
| 44406 | Is it proposed to invert the name of the bureau or office so as to bring the distinctive name to the fore or let it read in its natural way? |
| 44406 | Is it true to life? |
| 44406 | Is it wise to do this work by the county unit or the state unit? |
| 44406 | Is n''t every branch of the Episcopal church a part of the general Episcopal church? |
| 44406 | Is n''t it a mistake to put the library in the position of a beggar? |
| 44406 | Is not the Y. M. C. A. a good case to make an exception? |
| 44406 | Is that clear? |
| 44406 | Is the book a creator of ideals? |
| 44406 | Is the departmental library to be a permanent feature of the university library? |
| 44406 | Is the highest effectiveness of a library to be secured by a policy of decentralization? |
| 44406 | Is the librarian or the professor best qualified to direct the growth and watch over the interests of the different departments of the library? |
| 44406 | Is the library for free reference? |
| 44406 | Is the recreation afforded wholesome? |
| 44406 | Is the university library of the future to be housed in a single building, or is it to be scattered about in class rooms and laboratories? |
| 44406 | Is there any discussion? |
| 44406 | Is there any motion before the meeting? |
| 44406 | It concluded with an"imaginary conversation"between a librarian and a reader, as follows:"''A fellow- librarian?'' |
| 44406 | It dealt with BOOK REVIEWS, LISTS AND ARTICLES ON CHILDREN''S READING: ARE THEY OF PRACTICAL VALUE TO THE CHILDREN''S LIBRARIAN? |
| 44406 | Ladies? |
| 44406 | Lecture rooms? |
| 44406 | Light? |
| 44406 | Location and surroundings? |
| 44406 | Mechanics? |
| 44406 | Miss AMBROSE: Have those cards a distinct purpose, as of assisting the catalogers aside from the public? |
| 44406 | Miss AMBROSE: Would you follow the same reasoning for entries under Methodist Episcopal church, or would you put them under the place? |
| 44406 | Miss CRAWFORD: Was any argument brought forth to substantiate that statement that nine- tenths of the people would look under the local name? |
| 44406 | Miss CRAWFORD: Would that override the other rule of entering under the best known form? |
| 44406 | Miss CRAWFORD: Would you make that same application to mercantile libraries? |
| 44406 | Miss KROEGER: Has anything been said about entering sovereigns and popes in the vernacular or English form? |
| 44406 | Miss STEARNS: Do they always have to pay it? |
| 44406 | Miss STEARNS: How much of the county is embraced outside of the city of Cincinnati? |
| 44406 | Miss STEARNS: If you found a community too poor to pay, what would you do? |
| 44406 | Miss STEARNS: Then it is a small county that you supply? |
| 44406 | Miss STEARNS: Would it not be better to have a central library? |
| 44406 | Miss WAGNER: How would they classify William Morris? |
| 44406 | Miss WAGNER: Is the Y. M. C. A. question proper for discussion? |
| 44406 | Money annually for maintenance? |
| 44406 | Moral? |
| 44406 | Mr. BISCOE: If there is no table of contents the alphabetical index is to go after the title- page? |
| 44406 | Mr. BISCOE: Is it the purpose of the author arrangement to show what the library has on Y. M. C. A.? |
| 44406 | Mr. BISCOE: Why is n''t it the same thing to expect to find out everything about the Episcopal church under"Episcopal church"? |
| 44406 | Mr. BOWERMAN: The Seaboard Air Line runs a free travelling library system, and I presume they send their books over that system free? |
| 44406 | Mr. BOWERMAN: Why can not the legislation adopting the rural mail delivery also include this matter of the pound rates? |
| 44406 | Mr. BOWKER: Ca n''t we have a word from Mr. Thwaites on this question? |
| 44406 | Mr. BOWKER: Does anybody know why? |
| 44406 | Mr. BOWKER: Does n''t that mean that the dates should be used where the authors are not of the same names? |
| 44406 | Mr. BOWKER: In the case of living authors, is it intended to give date of birth if possible? |
| 44406 | Mr. BOWKER: May I add a word which Dr. Billings said to me? |
| 44406 | Mr. BRETT: Would n''t it be more valuable to the small library than to the larger library? |
| 44406 | Mr. BRIGHAM: What difference does it make if the library is a side issue, so long as it gets in its work? |
| 44406 | Mr. BRIGHAM: Would you make it optional with the carrier? |
| 44406 | Mr. DEWEY: Are there no remarks to be made on the use of annotated finding lists in travelling library work? |
| 44406 | Mr. DEWEY: Did you go personally to the grangers, write to them, or send printed matter? |
| 44406 | Mr. DEWEY: Has any one else tried the use of a wagon, as described by Miss Stearns-- going right to the people and reaching the homes? |
| 44406 | Mr. DEWEY: How do you support the schools? |
| 44406 | Mr. DEWEY: Is the motion seconded? |
| 44406 | Mr. DEWEY: Our question is not whether such libraries should exist or can exist, but are they desirable? |
| 44406 | Mr. DEWEY: Then you would put it in a private house? |
| 44406 | Mr. DEWEY: What shall be the unit of circulation-- the cataloged library or the single book or combination? |
| 44406 | Mr. DEWEY: Where would you put it? |
| 44406 | Mr. DEWEY: Which one is that? |
| 44406 | Mr. DEWEY: You say that the carriers can not take packages under four pounds without stamps? |
| 44406 | Mr. GALBREATH: Mr. Hutchins, how often do the communities raise that fifty dollars? |
| 44406 | Mr. GALBREATH: What communities, as a rule, are first served in Wisconsin? |
| 44406 | Mr. HANSON: Yes, that is the 21st exception, is it not, under the rule? |
| 44406 | Mr. HOSTETTER: Does the gentleman mean to put the travelling libraries into school houses? |
| 44406 | Mr. HUSE: What is the use of asking questions that must be governed entirely by local conditions? |
| 44406 | Mr. HUTCHINS: Do the people pay anything for the libraries? |
| 44406 | Mr. Hutchins, will you state it briefly? |
| 44406 | Mr. MONTGOMERY: How about books that are transferred to another point? |
| 44406 | Museum? |
| 44406 | Must not the child possess some scientific knowledge before he will be able to understand the author''s meaning? |
| 44406 | Must the use of this great collection be limited to Washington? |
| 44406 | Now how is he to learn all this? |
| 44406 | Now what at Washington might be useful to these libraries? |
| 44406 | Now what do we want? |
| 44406 | Now, how is it going to dispose of the other five hundred? |
| 44406 | Number of volumes in 20 years? |
| 44406 | Number of volumes to go in children''s room? |
| 44406 | Number of volumes to go in main book room? |
| 44406 | Number of volumes to go in other departments? |
| 44406 | Number of volumes to go in reference room? |
| 44406 | One inquiry was,"What eastern plant is sometimes sold for its weight in gold?" |
| 44406 | One little girl exclaimed in doleful tones,"Oh, have n''t you the Elsie books? |
| 44406 | Or would you advise putting the word Carnegie for all of these libraries? |
| 44406 | Or, if in both, where will the division of labor be placed? |
| 44406 | Other departments? |
| 44406 | Population? |
| 44406 | R. R. BOWKER: Is not this a matter which should come under the jurisdiction of the Publishing Board? |
| 44406 | R. R. BOWKER: May I take a moment from my own paper to say just a word on this subject? |
| 44406 | Reading circles? |
| 44406 | School children? |
| 44406 | Shall the facilities of the library be enlarged by building or shall the books be transferred to the various departmental libraries? |
| 44406 | Should not we be setting ourselves up in opposition to other catalogers if we put the collation after the contents? |
| 44406 | Should they always be entered under the first word of their title, or would it be better to enter under the name of the place? |
| 44406 | Size of building lot? |
| 44406 | Some periodical in New York had an article on motive power for the canals, and in the index it appeared under"Mule, Must the Canal Go?" |
| 44406 | Some tests of a library or school list are: Are the books in it chosen for their permanent value? |
| 44406 | Students? |
| 44406 | Style: Is it clear? |
| 44406 | Suitable? |
| 44406 | Suppose he does not"want"to carry it? |
| 44406 | Suppose it should supply them with a copy of every card which it prints, getting in return a copy of every card which they print? |
| 44406 | Suppose you take a rural community and establish a county library there? |
| 44406 | Take your popular libraries, and they deserve to be considered, how many readers are going to look for that note? |
| 44406 | The first consideration is, therefore, What is to be understood by the term"book"as thus used? |
| 44406 | The first topic is,"What is the best method of getting travelling libraries before the people?" |
| 44406 | The first,"Why do we need a public library?" |
| 44406 | The instruction reliable? |
| 44406 | The moral lessons sound? |
| 44406 | The most effective passage? |
| 44406 | The question is asked us,"For what does the children''s room stand, what is its real purpose?" |
| 44406 | The question is, Should there be an intermediary point between a state library and the local library? |
| 44406 | The question may be asked:"Shall I read Adam Smith''s''Wealth of nations?'' |
| 44406 | Then why did he employ this method? |
| 44406 | They also pay expenses, but would they open those privileges to other people? |
| 44406 | To found and endow such a bureau would undoubtedly cost a great deal, and where is the money to come from? |
| 44406 | Ventilation? |
| 44406 | W. S. BISCOE: One other suggestion: Do I understand from Mr. Fletcher, if there is a table of contents, that the index be put after the title- page? |
| 44406 | We turn to the books themselves, but, having no standard of values, how shall we judge? |
| 44406 | What are we going to do about it? |
| 44406 | What are we now aiming to do for the child? |
| 44406 | What does the section wish to do in this matter? |
| 44406 | What does this mean? |
| 44406 | What effect has it had thus far on the progress of your pupils in their studies? |
| 44406 | What if the boy''s father does read the_ New York Journal_ and the girl''s mother, when she reads anything, Laura Jean Libbey? |
| 44406 | What is the alternative, in case we have no guide? |
| 44406 | What is the judgment of the committee upon newspapers? |
| 44406 | What is the librarian for, if not to know things? |
| 44406 | What is the opinion? |
| 44406 | What is the practical method of going out into the state after the neglected communities? |
| 44406 | What is the use of sending the entire library? |
| 44406 | What may be demanded of these? |
| 44406 | What renaissance has failed to find literature and architecture quickened alike? |
| 44406 | What would Dr. Ely offer us? |
| 44406 | What, then, has the teacher to do? |
| 44406 | Where should we draw our line? |
| 44406 | Who has any experience or suggestion to offer on that point-- either of difficulties or successes? |
| 44406 | Why does he undergo fatigues so severe? |
| 44406 | Why not have both provisions in one bill? |
| 44406 | Why not make it compulsory? |
| 44406 | Why not send the Coleridge books to the one, and the Wordsworth books to the other? |
| 44406 | Why not try co- operation? |
| 44406 | Why should he, more than the librarian? |
| 44406 | Why should not a book from a free library be sent free? |
| 44406 | Why should they be taxed to maintain the roads? |
| 44406 | Why should we cling to the old when a book can be obtained that will more nearly satisfy our needs? |
| 44406 | Why should we not follow the old practice and let the cataloger and the public continue to use the usual thing? |
| 44406 | Why, you have a regular kindergarten here, have n''t you?" |
| 44406 | Will public access to the shelves be allowed? |
| 44406 | Will that leave sufficient space for taking away from top and bottom? |
| 44406 | Will you keep the title in the vernacular in all cases? |
| 44406 | Will you talk for 15 or 20 minutes on this topic before the Lincoln meeting?" |
| 44406 | With such evidence as this before us why should we fret ourselves to provide a 32 card when the change to the 33 can be so easily and so cheaply made? |
| 44406 | Wo n''t this measure tend to hamper the work of establishing libraries in the small places? |
| 44406 | Would that include new editions or simply new books? |
| 44406 | Would the institution entry override the principle of entering under best known form? |
| 44406 | Written when? |
| 44406 | _ Administration._ Is library to be in charge of one person? |
| 44406 | _ Books._ Number of volumes in library? |
| 44406 | _ Community._ In city or country? |
| 44406 | _ Departments._ Is the library for free circulation? |

| 44406 | ladies? |
| 44406 | librarian''s office? |
| 44406 | magazine readers? |
| 44406 | newspaper readers? |
| 44406 | or rather, what_ may_ this mean? |
| 44406 | or, in other words, What is a"book,"as that designation is employed in the copyright law? |
| 44406 | trustees''room? |
| 44406 | unpacking room? |
| 47134 | Can public libraries legitimately attempt amusement as well as instruction of the people? |
| 47134 | Could not our need for it be met by borrowing from another library? |
| 47134 | Do you care more for your stock than for your children? |
| 47134 | Have you in your library,I might ask individually of the majority,"have you an aggregation of books on this subject?" |
| 47134 | If we had to stay in a reading room, how much idea of library organization should we have? |
| 47134 | Is its usefulness to be more or less permanent, or merely temporary? |
| 47134 | Is the fiction circulated by our public libraries helping to enlighten the people on social and economic problems? |
| 47134 | What of the black and yellow races? |
| 47134 | Who''s the greatest woman in history? |
| 47134 | Why guess about things? 47134 Yes,"said I,"but, do you yourself know what those books contain? |
| 47134 | ( 1) When do you accession, before or after cataloging? |
| 47134 | ( 10) How do you indicate the branch or department to which a book is assigned? |
| 47134 | ( 12) Do you note in the accession record when a book is withdrawn, or do you keep a withdrawal book? |

| 47134 | ( 8) Where do you place accession number? |
| 47134 | ( b) The slums? |
| 47134 | ( c) Social settlements? |
| 47134 | ( d) Public charities? |
| 47134 | ( e) The church? |
| 47134 | ( e) What real objection can there be to simplifying the cards you write yourselves? |
| 47134 | ( f) Social service? |
| 47134 | 2. Who drew the law? |
| 47134 | : How is it possible to raise to a higher average the lowest, without reducing to a dead level of mediocrity the citizens of superior possibilities? |
| 47134 | = Second=, What shall we do with the single- room school? |
| 47134 | A trained assistant should be stationed here, and who are better qualified for this service than the members of the cataloging staff? |
| 47134 | Accession Record Now let us go on to the accession book and ask how many use the regular or the condensed book and why? |
| 47134 | Affirmative, 11; negative, 14. r. Do you renew books issued for 7 days? |
| 47134 | Affirmative, 14; negative, 12. h. Do you keep your file of collections loaned as deposits separate from ordinary circulation? |
| 47134 | Affirmative, 14; negative, 4; no circulation of magazines, 4. h. How many books are issued on privilege or teachers''cards? |
| 47134 | Affirmative, 16; negative, 1. d. Do you issue receipts for books without cards? |
| 47134 | Affirmative, 16; negative, 5. c. Do you retain at the library a borrower''s card on which there is a fine? |
| 47134 | Affirmative, 18; negative, 8. k. Is this inspection made when books are discharged or when shelved? |
| 47134 | Affirmative, 19; negative, 2. t. Do you renew books issued for four weeks? |
| 47134 | Affirmative, 1; negative, 24. m. Is the assistant at the charging desk required to use a mark or initial of identification on the book card? |

| 47134 | Affirmative, 9; negative, 7. e. How many 2-week books of fiction are charged on one card? |
| 47134 | After all, what else can you talk to a popular audience in politics but nonsense? |
| 47134 | An inquiring Newarker once said to me"Why should a public library advertise itself? |
| 47134 | And finally, to Lawrence the portrait painter:"Have we exchanged a word about Thackeray since his death? |
| 47134 | And his whimsical reply to"Who are the greatest preachers in England?" |
| 47134 | And then-- is it not possible that we might be better librarians if we refused to be librarians every hour in the day and half the night as well? |
| 47134 | And to whom do you suppose the judges awarded the palm? |
| 47134 | And why do I insist that all the truth you know about the immigrant shall be brought out? |
| 47134 | And, as Mr. Macy asks, are they worth the labor they have cost-- are they worth it to= anybody=? |
| 47134 | Apart from these what are the functions of the college library? |
| 47134 | Are books discharged near your return desk or away from it? |
| 47134 | Are fiction and non- fiction cards separated under the day''s issue? |
| 47134 | Are grapes more nutritious than plums? |
| 47134 | Are n''t they the standard thing? |
| 47134 | Are our libraries helping to make better citizens of those from over- seas? |
| 47134 | Are our public libraries making returns in service adequate to funds appropriated? |
| 47134 | Are our public libraries succeeding in their effort to bring to men and women the"life more abundant?" |
| 47134 | Are some of the so- called scholarly editions really scholarly, or are they simply gigantic"stunts?" |
| 47134 | Are the art departments of our public libraries quickening the love for the beautiful? |
| 47134 | Are the class numbers of non- fiction written on a teacher''s or privilege card? |
| 47134 | Are the subjects now in our curricula properly balanced? |
| 47134 | Are there to be no changes, merely additions of new captions? |
| 47134 | Are we going to stop the immigrant by temporarily locking the door, while we have possession of the key? |
| 47134 | Are we really afraid that the immigrant is going to take the bread from our mouths? |
| 47134 | Are we sometimes acclaiming as great scholars men who are really doing nothing but a tremendous amount of grubbing? |
| 47134 | Are you ready for the question? |
| 47134 | As an example of skillful motivation in teaching may I describe a case which is also an object- lesson to librarians in correlating people and books? |
| 47134 | As recently as 1889 the writer of an article in the North American Review labeled his attack:"Are public libraries public blessings?" |
| 47134 | Because of this lack of concern on the part of parents in children''s reading, are we not justified in our hitherto condemned paternalism? |
| 47134 | Book entry? |
| 47134 | Borrower''s card? |
| 47134 | But are they red, white, or blue stockings? |
| 47134 | But how can we afford to travel, or even to see a play or to buy a book, on the salaries many of us get? |
| 47134 | But how long, then, should a classification endure-- or rather, be endurable? |
| 47134 | But is it reasonable to expect such knowledge? |
| 47134 | But there is one man whose authority I would not want to dispute; you''ll surely treat me fairly, wo n''t you?" |
| 47134 | But what about the towns that are without Boards of Trade or whose Boards of Trade are not equipped to give this information? |
| 47134 | But what is one more disappointment in the history of the Jews? |
| 47134 | But what is the game worth? |
| 47134 | But what shall we do? |
| 47134 | But where is the children''s room? |
| 47134 | But will not the cost be prohibitive to many libraries, even in this day of printed cards and multigraph? |
| 47134 | Call slip? |
| 47134 | Can books not teach children to honor their father and mother, and"that the head and the hoof of the Law, and the haunch and the hump is obey"? |
| 47134 | Can not this be done in other cities? |
| 47134 | Can you not start a Junior League Drama Circle to read and act little children''s plays, just as you have your story hour? |
| 47134 | Classification Have you ever thought how much it costs your library to have it classified by a college and library school bred person? |
| 47134 | Date flap? |
| 47134 | Dear Mr. President: You ask"what do you consider the most valuable accomplishment of the public library movement in the past decade?" |
| 47134 | Department or branches? |
| 47134 | Department or branches? |
| 47134 | Did your reference people ever report any need of it in serving the public? |
| 47134 | Discharging and stamping off done at the same time, 9. g. If not do you look up book cards overdue before you stamp off borrower''s card? |
| 47134 | Do hoops still gallop in the East wind?" |
| 47134 | Do n''t we ask too many questions as to personality from those whose answers often carry little weight? |
| 47134 | Do the custodians of these places furnish circulation figures? |
| 47134 | Do the library people emphasize the necessity of close, personal contact, as far as possible, with the individuals and with the people? |
| 47134 | Do the library school trained workers prove in actual experience that their training has been of the right sort? |
| 47134 | Do they approve of straight fronts? |
| 47134 | Do they, as libraries, get special discounts on their building, their shelving, light, heat, electricity and supplies, etc., etc.? |
| 47134 | Do we fill out an elaborate order slip with all sorts of bibliographical data needed for comparatively few books only? |
| 47134 | Do we know the conditions under which the children of our own neighborhood live? |
| 47134 | Do we lecture too much, and give too few quizzes, conferences and reviews? |
| 47134 | Do we understand their interests, and are we sanely sympathetic? |
| 47134 | Do we use cabalistic signs in our books so that the public may not by any chance discover the price of them? |
