Sm: T suhinit liorowitli for printing si Circular of Information con- taininj;' tiic most recent statistics regarding the public libraries in the ITnitfHl States contai?iing 1,000 volumes and upward. These statistics lia\e been collected under the supervision of Mr. Flint, the statistician of this Otlice, who has carefully digested the returns. In the introduc- ti(m to the cii'cular he has given a series of diagrams showing the com- ])ariitive condition of older and newer States in regard to libraries, together with an exhibit of the growth in the six years since the last report on libraries was printed. A comparison of libraries by size, amount of library property, method of supi)ort, method of issuing books, (classes of books in the collections, nund)er of volumes issued to readers, ratio of number of books to the population, and other items, is given, illustrated with graphic views. In the year 1870 (ien. Eaton, then Commissioner of Education, collected statistics giving information concerning 3,047 public libraries in the United States. This list included all public libraries containing .'501) volumes and upward that could be heard from. Ten years later (18S4-'8r)), undertaking to revise this list, he succeeded in obtaining returns I'rom 0,338 libraries — thus increasing the former list by 1,691, or nearly 50 per cent. Tiie expression "publiclibrary" in this list included school, college, and college society libraries; medical, theological, law libraries; his- torical, scientitic, and sanitary libraries, social libraries, society libraries, 'nduding those of the Young Men's Christian Associations, those of Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and learned societies; general libraries, including free libraries supported by taxation, subscription libiaries, government libraries, and in l)ricf all libraries for the use of the public at large or for institutions, societies, or special classes of people. The aggregate of volumes of these 5,338 libraries was 20,022,070, giving an average of nearly 4,000 volumes to each. Preeminent among States was the showing of Massachusetts, Avith its 5601 ibraries and 3,560,085 volumes. Next came New York, with 2,168,508 volumes in 780 libraries. ^ ^a^^^mmm VI LETTER OF TIlANf^MITTAL. i ' ■ r • Tli(> list of librai'ios heirwiHi i)i'e.sentod includes only sucli iis coiitain 1,0(K) v.iliiiiH'.s and ov list, ol' 1885 all libraries of loss than 1,(K)(> volumes, tlie number reported was L',987.

In sec- tions where publiit libiaries are authorized by law for each town many •lonations from ])rivate sour(!es have been made to furnish elegant and convenicMit buildings to hold the books. The past 11 ((ecu years ibrm an era of unparalleled activity on the i)art of the professional librarians of the country. It is interesting to note that the American Library Association was formed at the time of the publication of the first rei)ort by this Inireauof the statistics of libra- ries in the United States. That rejiort contained a notice of the first convention of librarians in 185.'i and a call for the first meeting of the Library Association in Philadelphia in LS70. The activity of the Library Association there founded has been a wise one, because it has been a concerted activity. It has organized beneficent movements, in the Avay of classilication and methods of keeping lil)rary records; in useful devices for shelving, for issuing, for taking inventories, for establish- ' ing bramdi libraries in convenient places, for making the library useful to special classes, for printed catalogues, card and other catalogues. Much has been done in the way of cataloguing the contents of serial publications and reports of institutions and systems. The library is the most x)owerful of all the tools of thought, and to the American Library Association is due the gratitude of scholars for numerous devices which tend to the perfection of this instrument. All persiuis interested in the subject of educatiim will note with sat- isfaction the progress of the libiary. Next after the school and the daily newspaiier comes the library in educative power. These three institu- tions are the great secular means which our peo])le have to prepare themselves for their singular destiny. The school, for the most part, finds its function in teaching how to read. The newspaper and library furnish what to read. It is clear that one of the most important interests in education is to be found in connecting closely the common school with the public library. It is common to call a person educated who knows the rudi- mentary branches — reading, writing, arithmetic, geography, history, grammar, etc;. By these he is enabled to help himself to the informa- tion and wisdom stored u]) in the library. He is prepared to begin the work of educating himself To be educated in any true sense of the word he must use the library and master the experience of man- kind. The school gives the preliminary i)reparatiou for education, and LETTER OF TUANSMITTAf..

I have often j)()inted out tliat the Aineri(!au H(^hool lias soiiu». sort of justilicatiou for its much blanuMl atlliereneo to the text book in((thod of instruction. The i)edago;;'uos of other nations, and(!S[>e('ia]]y those of (lennauy, condemn our system for its Avor.st features — the slavish use of the book ami tiie trequent aecei»tanc,e by our teacheis of parrot-like rejjetition of tlui text in the place of an intelligent understanding' of what is set down in the book and a critical investiyatiou of the subject at lirst hand. This is doubtless tlie weakest side of our Siihool education. But it has, J repeat, this great good thing to counterbalaniie in sonu.' measure its evil. It has by a ha])i>y sort of instinct been guided towards a newei' and higher method than that which our critics would i)ut in its l>lace, For they would substitute the oral method, and thereby make the schoolboy still more deperdenr on th(^ living voice of his teacher for wliat he gets from mankind. The boy who is taught to use the ]>rinted page proi)erly — how to weigh its statenu'uts aud criti(!ally test them by such experiments as he can make, or compare them with other authorities by aidof thelibrary — is a far more shifty boy than the one who has merely received his instruction orally. For it is n(»t usual to receive from the living teacher his words in a critical ami (pu'stioniug attitude. Few teachers are able to encourage in their ]»ui)ils the spirit of inquiry and indepemlent verification to the extent of letting their own teachings submit to thistreatm<'nt. There isaome- thiug too personal in this exclusively oral method, this lecturing method, aud it has its \veak sides, as weak as those it condemns In the Ameri- can school. For if there are pupils in every school aud whole classes in exceptiomil schools that nuunorize the words of the book without comprehending their meauing, on theother hand there are those taught by the oral method who write out thewordsof their teacher and piously re])eat what has been dictated to them. Moreover, not having before them the fidl and well-balanced discussion of the text-book, they get a one-sided, distorted view of the subjei't-matter. They can not, if they come to a point where they lose the thread of the discourse, go back and pick it uj) — they are dragged from point to point by the necessity of keeping up with the lecturer and lose entirely what they fail to grasj) on first hearing. Such pui)ils, too, grow up with a tend- ency to recpiire oral exi)lauation made to them and a reluctauce to go to the scientific treatise and dig out the whole subject for themselves. What there is good in our American system points toward this preparation of the pupil for independent study of the book by himself. It points toward acquiring the ability of self-education by means of the library. Instead of parrot-like repetition of what is in the text-book, our model school requires the pupil to restate in his own language the ideas VIII LE'ITKR OF TRANSMITTAL. i of (lie l)(M)k. Iiiil even this is ii small ]y,ivt of wliiil it rso for iirillimcfk', iiiid otlu'r hiiiiiclics of iiiatliciiiatics; uiiotlu'r lor j^co^^rapliy and his irlatioiis to tli(> earth ami its inhabitants; suiothor Cor history and his relations to his I'ellow- eitizens, his nation, his race, and the stream of j^cnerations down which Im' and his contemporaries Imve descended, lie learns 1o recofjni/e in the institutions oi' society the oipmized forms of ids lii<;her selves that have been unfolded and realized tor him in tiiose institutions. A special vo(!abulary has to bo learned for these thinjjs and also for the study of lanj;na{;e in grammar and pliilology. Lanfiuaj:*' is the tirst revelation of hunuvn nature, its structure being an embodiment of the logical laws of the miml. Every special science has its own special vocabulary, larger or smaller, of new words. The schoolboy must learn their external forms and their internal meanings. But there is a more important aii . more in-actical language of read- ing than science, and this is literature or what l;as been called the "literary bibles" of the nations. The content of liteiat; re is the revelation of human life in its aspirations and actions, in i.: victories and i's defeuts. Homer, Dante, Shakespeare, ami ( Joethe are the great leaders of the sacred army of men who hii . e made and are making this revelation of human life. Every literary writer has a style of his own, which his readers must learn to master. The school teaches a hundred or more of tlujse styles by choice extra(;ts in the higher school readers, the selections being intense and in)i)assioned pieces of prose and poetry calculated to arouse the inuvgination, refine the taste, and kindle the aspiration of the youth, as well as give him some acquaintance with the special vocabulary and peculiarities of style that he uses. For this purpose a book of selections like the typical school reader is far better than any other device that can be thought of. But it should be supplemented by other retuling which deals with entire works of literary art. I come now to mention a practical devicie by which the common school can especially lit its pupils for the use of the library, and a device, too, that any library can aid indefinitely in carrying out in its neighborhood. The regular reading lesson in the school docs not and can not occupy much time on the daily programme. Not many pages can be read over, because the pupil nmst be questioned and cross-questioned on the meaning and use of the words and on the power and effect of the style used and on the near and remote thoughts suggested. No pupil after a good drill on a literary piece ever reads a similar piece in book or periodical without looking consciously or uncon- sciously for some of the points that have been brought out in his lesson. He is now of a capacity to get more from his reading than was before possible to him. His vocabulary has been increased, but not so much as his power to increase it. If he would only take home X LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL. with liiin a book from tin; library and read a whole story written by the author whosi^ literary f^'eia he has carefully studied in school, he would be able to increase his higher vocabulary far more rapidly than he will do otherwise. ILe will, moreover, fix and assimilate this higher vo(!abulary in such a way tiiat it will always remain his own. Still better, he will become a home reader anower to some purpose, to master the fields of human learning. I have spoken of the eminent value of works of literary art for giving the pupil a higher vocabulary of thought and feeling, and for making him acquainted with himself. By this knowledge one does not, of course, mean a knowledge of his own ])etty idiosyncrasies and peculiar- ities, but a knowledge of human iiature at large; a knowledge of what is substantial in character and profound in human thought. Literature is the best, but it should not by any means be the exclusive course of reading. For the supplementary reading to be done at home there should be intermingled books of history, books of travel, popular expositions of the different sciences. Some people would have these books and no others, and would call them alone the "solid" books, while the pure literary works they would denominate "trash." In my opinion they could not commit a more serious error. I have known many parents possessed of the science craze who tried to educate their children on science to the exclusion of literature, but their results were intiful. Their children were deprived of an insight into human life — into the springs of human character and the motives that prevail among the people with whom they must live. This knowledge of human life LETTER OF TllANSMITTAL. XI obtainod tlirou;^'h the wvitiiijis of jjenins should occni)y tlie first ]»hico oil tli(^ list of studies essi'utiiil to direct self i)resevvatiou, usiu<>' tlie expressiou of JMr. Herbert Speueer aud pointing out, by the way, that his own selieme of studies is very far from correspouding to thcrequire- nieuts of the principles that he lays dowu. On the other hand, one must be careful not to commit the opposite mistakf^s of excluding science and liislory or of slighting these studies for literature. They are all necessary. It must not be forgotten that this work in supidemeutary reading ia a work of self-help on the part of the pu])il and is of very great value from this point of view, it assists very much to neutralize the effects of bad school uiethods where they happen to exist. Another great point is that the books are taken lioine by the pupils into families who have no accumulation ')f books, or, at best, only of such books as lack i)opular interest. Tlicsii books taken home are jucked u]) by the parents aiul older brothers and sisters and read by them. This makes the supple- mentary leading system an educator of the people as people — an exten- sion of the school that is of vital importance. The library should get hold of this pliase of school extension and so manage it that all who begin it are drawn into the use of the library. Fiction is the bait by which \ve create a love for reading, and it should lead out to other reading, especially in the line of science, and history, and philosophy. JJut 1 have tried to show that it is not a hopeless case if it does not lead into these fields to any great extent, for the reading of fiction has tlie substantial benefits which I have stated. But there is fiction and fiction. Fiction written by an author who has deeply lived, deeply felt, and deeply thought is of value to all men whether simple or learned. But the weak and shallow w^'iter who has not sounded the depths of life, not seen its ethical substructure, such a writer is immoral and misleading in his views of life even though he supposes himself to be very religious, and be, in fiu!t, engaged in writing Sunday-school books. In another circular of information published by this Bureau is given a list of the 5,(K)l) books to be purchased as the most useful foundation for a new library. Tluise books are classified alphabetically by authors and titles, by two separate schemes of classification. Another cir(!ular, "(hitter's Kules,"of which tw^o editions have already been printed and circulated, relates to the minute details of the professional librarian's "work. It is a circular prepared by Mr. Cutter, of the Boston A thenieuni, and has been widely called for and used. I can not forbear calling attention again and again to the cosmopolitan significance of the three educational instrumentalities of our time. The school teaches how to read — how to use the printed page to get out of it all that it contains. The library furnishes the what to read; it opens the storehouse of all human learning. Tliese two are comple- mentary functions in the great work of education. But the third great lil xri LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL. < '4 odiicational appliaiico of oiiv time is the periodi«!al, and especially tlio daily uewspaiicv. In fact, we are in our ti:iie acquiriug a sort of new consciousness by aid of this instrument, for it is a spiritual process of mauufacturiny public opinion out of private observation and rcilec- tion. Every niorniny it is customary for the dweller in the city to take a survey of the entire life of the j^lobe — a brief glance at the nations most remote, a fuller view of those more nearly related to him, and a com])lete survey of Avhat is in his neighborhood. The coiTclation of the near and tiie remote, the cnstom of carrying in his mind the world afiairs, develops a sort of epic consciousness vastly more educative than the former village gossip that i)revailed in the tavern or in the shop. It elevates the individual into a higher plane of thinking, sub- stituting the universal for the particular. Itwoidd seem as though tlio world as a whole is bound to grow into this newspaper civilization and that it is a ne(;essity of all newspai)er civilizations to be democratic in their form of government. But it is evident that this newspaper spe- cies of education needs the cooperation and periecting intluence of the library. The school is essential to the newspaper reader to give him that knowledge of a printed vocabnlary of Avords and that smattering of geography, history, grannnar and science required to understand and follow the newspaper articles. The apparatus for higher investigaticm is to be tbund in the biblio- graphic lists in various lields of human learning. The librarians have constructed indexes to periodical literature, subclassiticd under such heads as the several spei ial sciences, the special de )artments of his- tory, localities, biographies, etc. A ''Critical History of America" in eight volumes has bee"; prepared by a distinguished librarian. Here is a held in which tlu> librarian jirepares the mass of human learning for the use of his less persistent or less i)lodding fellow-citizen, the newspaper reader, or at best the popidar book reader. The learned librarian leads him to original sources and oft'ers these sources in a compendious form for his use. Indexes and collections of original sources do wonders to deepen and make accurate the s(;holarship of a nation. Those familiar with Clernuiu scholarship need oidy to bo reminded of the vast number of works of this order which facilitate the complete survey of si)ecial subjects. The school and the newspaper and the library, working together, may be each heli)ed by the other, and all maybe united into one very potent instrumentality of education for the universal elevation of the people that is on its procession in diiferent parts of the world. The community, locally self- governed, is likely to be interested with a truly cosmoi)olitau spirit (and shall I not say with a missionary spirit?) in all other pe()i)le8 around the globe. In this line we see infinite i)ossibilities of gi"owth in l)erfection, inliuite possibilities of that education which adds to the individual life vicariously the life and life's experience of all bis fellow- men. LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL. XIII This aspect of tlic question suggests a '■till broader one: The s(;hool and the newspaper and the library, working together in mutual help- fulness, form the very potent means of education which is necessary for the universal elevation of the ])eople that characterizes the history of the world in the present century. Intercommunication by steamships, railroads, telegraphs, telephones, and an omnipresent postal system, generates a cosmopolitan sj)irit, or what is better called the missionary si)irit. Feelings of hostility toward ibreign nations or distant sections of one's own country give place to feelings of humane i)ersonal interest- As each section becomes locally self-governed it uses its directive i)ower more and more in view of the net result of the experience of the entire human race. This threefold means of education increases, with greater and greater rapidity, the diffusion of local self-govern m.ent. There 'S a brain for each pair of hands. Each brain avails itself by means of the printed page of the labors of all other brains. Life becomes vicarious. Each human being lives his life not only for himself but as a lesson for all his fellowmen. Others may use his successful experiments and avoid repeating his unsuccessful ones. All of which is respectfully submitted. W. T. Harris, Commissioner, Hon. Hoke Smith, Secretary of the Interior, STATISTICS OF LIBRARIES IN THE UNITED STATES. From the ostiiblislmiont of a Dei)iirtinent of Education in 18G7, and its convt'isioii into a Bureau in 18()0, tlie iiiiportance of libraries as a factor in educational work lias been recogni/ed in its raports and other imblications. The extended work of the Bureau on this subject be- gan in 1S70, when tlie collection of statistics and the preparation of the matter for a special report on luiblic libraries was undertaken. The report was issued in 1876. This was before any regular library jour- nal was printed in this country, and what has been done during the penod since 1S7() by the Bureau contains no small portion of the his- tory of the progress of libraries in this country. This special report, after giving a short history of the first (,'onvention of librarians in 185.'i, contains the notice of a call for the first meeting of the American Library Association in Philadelphia in 1870, thus showing at the very beginning its interest in library management as a very prominent part in the educational interests of the country. The JUireau of I'klucation at that time, in considering the importance of libraries in connecition with education, undertook four distinct tilings: (1) To trace the history of public libraries in the United States; (2) to show their present condition and extent; [3) to discTiss the various ques- tions of library economy and management; and (4) to present complete statistical information of public libraries of all classes. At that early date these four points mentioned covered a large field in the matter of library economy and management, .and the publications of the Bureau since that date have given no small portion of their pages to these questions. As to the early statistics of libraries in this coun- try but little can bo found. Prof. Jewett, in his "Notices of Public Libraries," published by the Smithsonian Institution in 1850, gave a summary of public libraries, amounting to 094 and containing at that time 2,201,032 volumes. In the census of 1850 an attempt was made to give the number of libraries and the number of volumes they con- tained, exclusive of school and Sunday school libraries. This number was 1,500; the number of volumes, 2,447,080. In 1856 Mr. Edwards in his summary of libraries gave a much smaller number of libraries, being only ;}41, but the number of volumes was nearly the same, being 2,371,887, and was also based upon the census of 1850. Mr. William J. Khees, in his " Manual of Public Libraries," Avliich was printed iu 1859, gave a list of 2,902 libraries, but of all this number PUBLIC LIBRARIES IN THL UNITED STATK.'^. only 1,312 luul any report whatever of llie imiuber of volmues they eoiitiiined. From tliese iiieiij;er statistics it is seen tliat tlie rejMtrts do not vary \ ery much, giving about the same number of libraries and nund)i'r of vol- umes in them, taking account of the changes that would (»ccnr from the dilVerent classih<'ations as to -what was excei)ted or omitted as a library. The annual reports of the Bureau from 1870 to 1S71 (jontained limited statistics of only a few hundred libraries, and little more is sliown than the tV.ct that there were about L*,()00 public libraries of all kinds in the United States. About five years of labor was exi)ended in collecting material for the si)ecial report of the Bureau upon public libraries, which was printed in 187G, ami this gave a listof .'5, 04'.l libraries of over .'5()0 volumes, and the total number of volumes was lU,L'790,y99. 20 15 6 50,000 to 99,999. 1 i T'liited Stairs ' 3 | Xortli Atlantic Division ' 2 I Sontli .\tlantic DivLsiiJU 1 South Central ])i\ ision North ('i)Mtial Division Western Division Sorth Atlanlic hivition. • I Maine New Hampshiro I Vermont ' llassaehiisetts '- ! 4i Klidde Island ; Connecticut 1 | New York I 7 ] New Jersiiv 68 9 4 13 G 25,000 to 49,999. 128 IVnnsylv Sotith AHantic IHoiiion.

The South Atlantic.

A study of this table by States gives very interest- ing details of the location of the larger libraries, as well as tlie larger uumber of libraries in those portions of the country where the system of free public libraries has been longest in existence. Of all these classes, the State of Xew York has 511 libraries and Massachusetts 508, decreasing down to 3, which is the lowest uumber, as will be found in Table IV, on pp. 9-10. • f riJBMC L1HUAK1E8 IN THK UNITED STATES.

Tin; library Journal for 1885 contained a table giving the number of books to each person, according to the report of libraries of .'iOO volumes or over for ISS"), published by the Bureau; but that table was based upon the population of 1880, which was five years eailier than the report from the lil>raries, and hence was not an exact comparison as to population and libraries, etc. Table V has been corrected as to population by taking either the State census of 1885 or estimates for that year. The numl)er of libraries for 1885 has been made upon the basis of those containing 1,000 volumes by subtracting all tliose under 1,000 volumes from the list. The number of volumes also includes only those of libraries containing 1,000 volumes, which makes it correspond to the table of 1891. Thus it will be seen that Tables IV and \' are made n])on the same basis as far as possible. By C(»mparing these two tables it will be seen that the increase in the nnm- licr of libraries has been (piite a large percentage in the six years mentioned, as well as the increase in the nund)er of volumes in the libraries. An examination of the ligures for the different States will show the exact increase for each one, ami makes a very interesting study. In order to show more clearly to the eye this increase, in both libraries and number of volumes in the whole United States and in the dilferent divisions, Diagram 2 has been prei)ared.

These figures show that, comparatively, the hirgest increase iu the number of libraries was in tiie Western Division, and of the number of volumes the {ireatest increase was iu the 2s'orth Central Division. Tht; percentafie of increase in the whole country was 66.3 for six years, or an averaji-e of over 11 i)er cent each year, which at this rate would double the number of volumes and libraries every nine years. From the foregoing tables. Diagram 3, p. 15, has been prepared to show the increase in the average si/e of the libraries in tlie country and in the •several divisions. This shows that iu the United States in 1885 the average size of the libraries of over 1,000 Aolumes was 6.381 volumes, and in 1801, 8,194, an average iucrejijse of 1,813 volumes to each library, or 28.4 per cent. In the Xorth Atlantic Division the growth was from 6,084 to 8,680 volumes, an increase of 2,586, or 42.7 percent; in the Soutii Atlantic, from 9,675 to 12,670 volumes, au increase of 2,945, or 30.3 per cent; in the South Central, from 4,200 to 5,257 volumes, an increase of 1,057, or 25 per cent; in the Xorth Central, from 5,020 to 6,668 volumes, an increase of 1,648, or 33 ])er cent, and iu the Western, from 6,737 to 8,046 volumes, an increase of 1,309, or 19.5 per cent. The libraries f)f the largest average size are found in the South Atlantic Division; but this is explained by the fa(;t of the largo average size of libraries iu thci District of Columbia, notably increased by the rapid growth of the Library of Congress during the last few years.
