The popular magazine will attract to the library many who have already become accustomed to magazine reading but who seldom read any books other than the most trashy fiction. Even though the chief attraction of the average magazine is its short story or its serial fiction, there are few magazines which lay claim even to respectability that do not contain articles on poli- tics, science and other subjects of general importance so attractively presented and illustrated as to hold the atten- tion of even the careless reader. In the smaller libraries this use for general reading will be the chief argument for subscribing to magazines. In addition to this usually temporary use the perma- nent value of the magazine as reference material must be considered. In a considerable number of cases the magazine which is popular for general reading will also be a valuable reference aid, especially for club papers and debates on current topics." In other cases the maga- zine may very properly be purchased chiefly for its refer- ence value. Magazines which are used primarily for general read- ing should be circulated. Most libraries circulate all un- bound numbers, except the current one, for a limited period (usually from three to seven days). All current numbers should be placed on tables or open cases in the reading room so as to be readily accessible to readers and the unbound numbers of the current volume should 1 The compiler of this list is under great obligation to Mrs. Katha- rine MacDonald Jones' Magazines for the small library (1909) for the general plan and much of the matter which appears here. The fact that Mrs. Jones' list is out of print is the chief reason for the appearance of the present one. 270602 4 PERIODICALS FOR THE SMALL LIBRARY be filed nearby. Duplicate copies of the most popular magazines cost much less than the newest books and often supply the demand for "something new" quite as well as a new book. Magazines which are much used for reference purposes in the library, particularly bound volumes, should not be circulated except for very short periods. If there is much demand for them for home reading, recent bound volumes of the more popular ones should be purchased for circulating purposes. In many cases the magazines can be obtained as donations from patrons of the library and the duplicate bound volumes in this way obtained for the mere cost of binding. Binding. All magazines which are circulated and all which are much used in the reading room should be put into temporary binders. There are numerous binders, each with its advocates. Information concerning bind- ers which have been satisfactory, with prices, may be obtained from Cedric Chivers, 911 Atlantic avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y. ; Gaylord Bros., Syracuse, N. Y. ; The American Library Bindery, Philadelphia, Pa., and W. M. Banner, 105 Raymond street, Cambridge, Mass. Inex- pensive home-made binders may be made from "red ma- nila rope" paper or thin cardboard covered or lined with chintz or cambric. The magazines may be fastened into these covers by means of "Ballard clips" (address H. H. Ballard, Berkshire Athenaeum, Pittsfield, Mass., for in- formation concerning them) or by perforating cover and magazine with an awl and lacing the magazine into the cover with tape or shoe string. This latter method is cheap and convenient and is used in many binders now on the market, but perforating prevents the magazine from opening well and injures it for binding purposes. Whenever possible, magazines which prove useful in reference work should be bound. Prices will vary with different binders, but a good durable cloth binding should be obtained at from 60 to 75 cents a volume. If the library income is too small to permit binding, back numbers may be preserved and conveniently con- sulted for reference purposes by putting them into pam- phlet boxes or by putting around them a wrapper of PERIODICALS FOR THE SMALL LIBRARY 5 stout manila paper. Satisfactory pamphlet boxes may be obtained at from 15 to 60 cents each (with discounts for larger quantities), according to the size and material (heavy pasteboard or wood) desired. Prices and sizes may be obtained from the Democrat Printing Co., Mad- ison, Wis. ; Gaylord Bros., Syracuse, N. Y. ; Globe- Wer- nicke Co., Cincinnati, O. ; Library Bureau, Boston, Chi- cago, New York City, San Francisco, etc. The Demo- crat Printing Co. will furnish a manila case at $5 per hundred and Simpson, Morehead & Co., Albany, N. Y., will furnish a larger, stiffer case of stout pasteboard at the same price. Both of these are fairly satisfactory for periodicals and pamphlets which are comparatively little used but neither is strong enough for continued hard use. Each box or wrapper should be plainly labeled with the name of the magazine, the volume number and the inclusive dates. It is necessary to obtain from the publishers title pages and indexes for each volume as soon as possible after its completion, as many publishers print only small editions of indexes and send them only on application. Missing numbers of the cheaper or most popular magazines may often be obtained as gifts from users of the library. Subscriptions to magazines. In subscribing to maga- zines it is important to remember that the subscription price is an annual expense and every subscription pre- vents just that much money from being available for other purposes. It is not ordinarily advisable to subscribe for a magazine which is not to be continued. For this reason the list of magazines taken should be carefully planned with reference to the needs of the individual library and none should be subscribed to which have not already proved useful or which promise to be so. Con- siderable money can be saved by purchasing all period- icals through one agent and, as far as possible, by having all subscriptions begin and end at the same time. Better rates are sometimes given for subscriptions which begin on the first of January. The discounts vary, but from 5 to 20 per cent, depending on the dealer, the periodicals de- sired, and the size of the order, may usually be obtained. 6 PERIODICALS FOR THE SMALL LIBRARY On large orders it is often profitable to submit the list of periodicals desired to several dealers for competitive bids. Most booksellers will act as magazine agents and regu- lar magazines agencies may usually be used with satis- factory reults. A few of the dealers and agencies who have proved satisfactory are listed below: Franklin Square Subscription Agency, Franklin Square. New York City. Herman Goldberger, 250 Devonshire street, Boston, Mass. J. W. Grumiaux, Le Roy, N. Y. J. M. Hanson, Lexington, Ky. Lemcke & Biichner, 30 West Twenty-seventh street, New York City. A. C. McClurg & Co., 218 South Wabash avenue, Chicago, 111. Henry Malkan, 18 Broadway, New York City. G. E. Stechert & Co., 151-55 West Twenty-fifth street, New York City. H. W. Wilson Co., Minneapolis, Minn. Wisconsin News Co., Milwaukee, Wis. Periodical sets. In any but the very smallest libraries it is desirable to get full sets or at least a considerable number of consecutive volumes of the most used maga- zines. If enough money is available, it is well to buy full sets at once, especially if the magazine has been established rather recently and the total number of vol- umes is not large, but, as the small library can not afford many full sets, it is often better to begin with the last complete volume and work backward or to buy con- secutive volumes from about 1900 to date. In this way the library will have the later and, presumably, the most useful material, while the missing volumes will be the older ones with a large percentage of out-of-date matter. Sets should usually be purchased for their reference value, though many like St. Nicholas for children or the Century, Harper's and similar magazines circulate very readily for general reading. Odd volumes are often quite as useful as sets for general circulation and sets which are much used for reference should not be circu- lated if there is danger of losing or wearing out volumes which can not easily be replaced. PERIODICALS FOR THE SMALL LIBRARY 7 Broken sets should seldom be purchased unless cer- tain to be needed and obtainable at decidedly low prices, as the missing volumes may prove to be the very ones that the library would use most. Odd volumes can usu- ally be purchased very cheaply from second-hand dealers, but it is seldom easy to fill up sets satisfactorily in this manner. Both complete and partial sets should be pur- chased from reputable dealers. Private owners almost always overestimate the value of sets or portions of sets they own and the ordinary bookseller will seldom take either the time or the trouble to make up complete sets. It is usually better to get estimates from more than one dealer. Among the dealers who specialize in general periodicals are : American Magazine Exchange, 3815 Franklin avenue, St. Louis, Mo. Boston Book Co., 83-91 Francis street, Fenway, Boston, Mass. Hub Magazine Co., Boston, Mass. Philadelphia Magazine Depot, 326 North Tenth street, Phila- delphia, Pa. H. W. Wilson Co., Minneapolis, Minn. Much valuable material may often be obtained as gifts from users of the library and from the reading rooms of social clubs. All such gifts should be accepted with the distinct understanding that their final disposal shall be entirely in the hands of the librarian. Odd volumes and incomplete sets may often be obtained as gifts or ex- changes from the duplicate collections of larger libraries. PERIODICALS FOR THE SMALL LIBRARY SUGGESTED LIST OF MAGAZINES FOR THE SMALL LIBRARY It is quite as impossible to prepare a list of magazines that will be best for all libraries as to prepare a list of books that will suit all localities. The aim should be to provide the best material the patrons will read along the different lines in which they are most interested. When a choice must be made it is usually better to take a good magazine which readers would not otherwise see than to duplicate those which a large part of the commu- nity already have in their homes. It is generally better to confine subscriptions largely to such magazines as are indexed in one or more of the general periodical indexes. Unindexed volumes or sets lose most of their value be- cause their contents are not readily accessible. Small libraries are often advised to make their selec- tions from the periodicals indexed in the Readers' Guide Abridged if less than twenty magazines are taken; if more than twenty are taken, to select them from the larger list in the Readers' Guide ; and, if a periodical col- lection of considerable size is to be established, to pur- chase first the sets indexed in the abridged Poole and its Supplement. (See pages 26-28.) Generally speaking, this is a safe plan to follow, though numerous exceptions must be made to suit individual cases. The following list is merely suggestive and is based largely on selected lists published elsewhere as well as on a comparison of lists of periodicals taken by various libraries throughout the country and on the opinions of a number of librarians and commission workers. The arrangement is alphabetical. Suggested lists of the best for the small library to get first are given on pages 29-30. Volume numbers and dates have been corrected to Feb- ruary, 1913. Many excellent periodicals are not listed PERIODICALS FOR THE SMALL LIBRARY 9 here because they cover much the same ground as those which are included or because their special character makes them better suited to large than to small libraries. Library periodicals are not included, as their use is largely confined to the library staff. The relatively large number of periodicals for teachers is due to a demand on the part of librarians for such periodicals quite as much as to their inclusion in the general periodical in- dexes. A very few of the best magazines for smaller children have been included at the request of commission work- ers and librarians in villages and small towns. Before subscribing to any of this class, it is well to remember that many of the most prominent children's librarians do not consider such periodicals desirable, both on account of the almost inevitable mediocrity of their contents and because it is more than questionable whether the maga- zine reading habit should be prematurely developed. Illustrated magazines for adults are often popular with children able to enjoy St. Nicholas and the Youth's Com- panion and picture books and well selected stories of per- manent value will usually more than satisfy those who are too young to enjoy the better magazines. Several libraries report that the magazines for small children are used so little that further subscription to them has proved quite unnecessary. American City (monthly). New York, 1909-13. v. 1-8. $2. Indexed in Reader's Guide. "A monthly review of municipal improvement and civic ad- vance." Deals with civic problems of all kinds. Numerous fairly good half-tone illustrations. More popular in treatment than the Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science and less radical in tone than the Survey. With January, 1913, begins a department "Town and village," which will treat municipal and civic problems in communities of less than 5,000 poulation. American Magazine (monthly). New York, 1905-1913. v. 60-75. $1.50. Indexed in Poole, Library Index, Readers' Guide and Readers' Guide Abridged. Continuation of Leslie's Magazine. Pays especial atten- 10 PERIODICALS FOR THE SMALL LIBRARY tion to political reform movements, sociological matters and biography, but also contains good short stories and at least one serial of merit. Generally considered by librarians to be one of the best of the cheaper magazines. The change to quarto form with the December, 1912, number (v. 75, no. 2) makes the magazine less convenient to handle and more expensive to bind. Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science (bi-monthly). Philadelphia, 1890-1913. v. 1-41. $6. Indexed in Poole, Library Index and Readers' Guide. Full, detailed discussions of economic, sociological and polit- ical subjects by leading authorities. In the later volumes each number is confined to a series of articles, by different writers, on a single subject. Among recent subjects treated are Country life, Child labor laws, Wages of women workers, Efficiency in city government, Commission government, Initiative, referen- dum and recall. Excellent for debate work and frequently not too difficult either in language or treatment for the average third or fourth year high school student. Single numbers can be obtained at $1 each by libraries which can not afford to sub- scribe regularly. This affords an excellent way of getting high grade material of current interest at low cost. Supplementary numbers, each dealing with a special subject, are issued from time to time. Atlantic Monthly. Boston, 1857-1912. v. 1-111. $4. Indexed in Poole, abridged Poole, Library Index, Readers' Guide and Readers' Guide abridged. Probably the most uniformly excellent from a literary stand- point of any American magazine. Contains unusually good fiction and poetry, excellent literary criticism and is one of the few American magazines which deliberately encourages the gen- eral essay. Much attention given also to political, sociological, economic and philosophical subjects treated in a scholarly but semi-popular manner. Excellent paper and typography, but no illustrations and few advertisements. Of rather limited circula- tion, but widely known and useful in almost any library for reference purposes and usually read by at least the more thoughtful people in any community. Boston Cooking School Magazine (monthly, except July and September). Boston, 1896-1913. v. 1-17. $1. Not indexed in the general periodical indexes. Pays particular attention to food and cooking, though many PERIODICALS FOR THE SMALL LIBRARY 11 articles on general domestic economy are included. Less of a general magazine than Good Housekeeping, which it supple- ments very well and for which it is sometimes substituted. Cassier's Magazine (monthly). New York, 1891-1912. v. 1-43. $3. Indexed in Poole, Library Index, Readers' Guide and Engineering Index. Deals with technology and applied science generally. Authori- tative but not unduly technical articles. The numerous half- tone illustrations add to its popularity, especially in industrial centers. Century Illustrated Monthly Magazine. New York, 1881- 1912. v. 23-84. $4. Continuation of Scribner's Monthly. Indexed in Poole, Abridged Poole, Library Index, Read- ers' Guide and Readers' Guide Abridged. A thoroughly high grade general magazine. History, art and travel receive much attention, while the fiction is almost always well written and interesting. The illustrations are particu- larly good. Wood cuts, engraved half-tones and color plates are features. The fiction makes it popular for reading room use or circulation and the non-fiction is generally of marked refer- ence value. It should be noted that vol. 1 of the Century (new ser.) succeeds vol. 22 of Scribner's Monthly and is consequently listed in Poole and elsewhere as vol. 23 of the entire series. Chautauquan (monthly). Chautauqua, N. Y., 1880-1913. v. 1-69. $2. Indexed in Poole, Abridged Poole, Library Index, Read- ers' Guide and Readers' Guide Abridged. The official organ of the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle. Lists of required reading with questions and review out- lines and suggested programs for local circles are regular fea- tures. Includes most subjects treated in general magazines with the exception of fiction. The intentionally simple treat- ment of topics makes it particularly useful to readers of but little formal education. The varying size makes a set difficult to bind and shelve. A convenient starting place for the small library is vol. 44 (1907) when the magazine changed from a quarto to its present 12mo size. 12 PERIODICALS FOR THE SMALL LIBRARY Children's Magazine (monthly). Salem, Mass., 1903-13. v. 1-16. $1. Not indexed in the general periodical indexes. Especially intended for smaller children. Contains stories, serials, poetry, riddles, etc., similar in character to the sections of St. Nicholas and the Youth's Companion devoted to the smaller children. The general tone is wholesome but mediocre. Collier's National Weekly. New York, 1887-1912. v. 1-50. $5.50. Indexed in Readers' Guide (since January, 1909). An aggressive illustrated weekly devoted to current events. Includes also short stories of varying merit. Decidedly radical, but attempts to give opponents' point of view also. Very popu- lar in reading rooms. Its large size makes it expensive to bind and shelve and small libraries may well omit it from their bound files. Serves as a foil to Harper's Weekly (p. 16). Both of these weeklies are popular among the older boys and girls who frequent children's rooms. Country Life in America (monthly). New York, 1901- 13. v. 1-23. $4. Indexed in Library Index and Readers' Guide. A beautifully illustrated and printed magazine dealing with all phases of life on a country estate. Although the point of view is that of the wealthy land-owner and not of the farmer, the very attractive illustrations and the occasional practical hints on house furnishing, stock breeding and landscape garden- ing make it popular in reading rooms. Small libraries will seldom need to bind it. Craftsman (monthly). Syracuse, N. Y., 1901-1913. v. 1-23. $3. Indexed in Readers' Guide (since January, 1909) and in Library Index. Deals particularly with the arts and crafts and, incidentally, with arts in general. In the later volumes, poetry, fiction and sociological articles are more in evidence. Plans of houses of low and moderate price with detailed working drawings are a very valuable feature. PERIODICALS FOR THE SMALL LIBRARY 13 Current Opinion (monthly). New York, 1888-1912. v. 1-53. $3. Indexed in Readers' Guide and Readers' Guide Abridged. Formerly Current Literature. The sub-title, "a review of the times" indicates the general character of the magazine. Includes as general divisions Review of the world, Persons in the fore- ground, Finance and industry, Science and discovery, Religion and ethics, Music and drama, Literature and art, Recent poetry, Recent fiction and the critics." Frequent condensed or sum- marized articles from recent books or periodicals. Extended criticism, with frequent quotations from recent drama. In plan and scope resembles both the Literary Digest and the Review of Reviews. Good half-tone illustrations. January, 1913, the size was changed to quarto like the Literary Digest and the name changed to Current Opinion. Delineator (monthly). New York, 1873-1913. v. 1-80. $1.50. Indexed in Readers' Guide since January, 1909. "Similar to Harper's Bazaar in scope and subjects. Fashions are simpler and better adapted to use in home dressmaking. Butterick patterns may be obtained for all costumes illustrated." Jones. Dial (semi-monthly). Chicago, 1880-1913. v. 1-54. $2. Indexed in Poole, Library Index and Readers' Guide. Chiefly devoted to detailed book reviews, which are usually signed, with numerous briefer comments on books of less im- portance. Articles on general literary subjects and authors are also included, as well as frequent brief discussions of library matters. The reviews are readable and reliable and cover many of the books of value to the small library. Includes also a monthly title catchword list of "topics in leading periodicals." Education (monthly). Boston, 1880-1913. v. 1-33. $3. Indexed in Poole, Abridged Poole, Library Index and Readers' Guide. "Devoted to the science, art, philosophy and literature of edu- cation." The articles are written by able teachers and are prac- tical in character and well "adapted to the use of teachers in small cities and towns," with special emphasis on secondary school matters. 14 PERIODICALS FOR THE SMALL LIBRARY Educational Review (monthly). New York, 1891-1913. v. 1-45. $3. Indexed in Readers' Guide. Indexed in Poole, abridged Poole, Library Index, Readers 1 Guide and Readers? Guide Abridged. There is also an Analytical Index to vols. 1-25 (1891- 1903), $3. "On the whole the best educational journal now published, but deals only with methods of teaching in high schools and col- leges and offers little or nothing to the grade teacher. The con- tributors are for the most part recognized authorities on their respective subjects. Treatment of subjects generally aims to be scholarly and not technical, but both subject and treatment are beyond the average teacher in the small city and town." Jones. Elementary School Teacher (monthly, except July and August). Chicago, 1900-12. v. 1-13. $1.50. Indexed in Readers 1 Guide. "The leading periodical devoted to elementary education." Deals with principles rather than with detailed methods or ready-made schoolroom devices. Good signed reviews of cur- rent educational books. Engineering Magazine (monthly). New York, 1891-1913. v. 1-44. $3. Indexed in Poole, Abridged Poole, Library Index, Read- ers' Guide and Engineering Index. Covers engineering in general in articles written for engineers or well-informed general readers. Includes index to about 200 technical periodicals, mainly English, French and German. Not necessary in libraries in non-industrial centers, but of great reading room and reference use in the vicinity of any large industrial establishment. Back volumes are even more valuable for reference, as most engineers subscribe regularly and hence have the current volumes. Articles in the "Engineering index" may be rented from the publishers of the magazine. Everybody's Magazine (monthly). New York, 1899- 1913. v. 1-48. $1.50. Indexed in Abridged Poole, Library Index and Readers' Guide (since January, 1909). Ranks with the American and McC lure's as one of the better cheap magazines and like them devotes much space to move- ments for social and political reform. PERIODICALS FOR THE SMALL LIBRARY 15 Forum (monthly). New York, 1886-1913. v. 1-49. $2.50. Published as a quarterly, July, 1902- July, 1908 (v. 34-39) v. 33 includes only March-June, 1902. Indexed in Poole, Abridged Poole, Library Index and Readers' Guide. The earlier volumes (1-33) are very useful in reference and debate work on political, economic, and sociological topics. The quarterly volumes (34-39) are summaries of financial, political, artistic and other activities of the period with a few literary and other general articles. The latest volumes have more of the features of a general magazine with special emphasis on social tendencies and movements and are less important for reference purposes. Garden Magazine and Farming (monthly). New York, 1905-12. v. 1-16. $1. Indexed in Readers' Guide since Jan., 1913. "Better suited to the small library than Country Life in America, because less expensive, and more practical in subject and treatment for the uses of the ordinary householder." Jones. The scope has recently been enlarged to include agriculture in general as well as its original field of indoor and outdoor horticulture, landscape gardening and building plans. Good Housekeeping (monthly). New York, 1885-1913. v. 1-56. $1.50. Indexed in Magazine Subject-Index (1907-08), Readers' Guide (Jan., 1909-date). Covers all phases of domestic economy, including cooking, entertaining, suggested household budgets, a few fashion plates, short stories and usually a serial. Takes the point of view of the intelligent housekeeper of limited or moderate income. Since 1911 the general magazine features have increased in prominence and it shows a tendency toward social crusading and fiction of a rather hectic type. Has same office address as Cosmopolitan and Hearst's Magazine. Wider in scope than the Boston Cooking School Magazine. Harper's Bazaar (monthly). 1867-1913. v. 1-48. $1.25. Indexed in Readers' Guide and Library Index. "Originally devoted to fashions, but now nas broadened its field and includes articles on every phase of woman's work in the home, and both short and serial fiction." Jones. Dressmaking and general fashions are still prominent and, 16 PERIODICALS FOR THE SMALL LIBRARY like the Delineator, patterns for any of the garments illustrated may be purchased. Harper's Monthly Magazine. New York, 1850-1912. v. 1-126. $4.. Indexed in Poole, Abridged Poole, Library Index, Read- ers' Guide and Readers' Guide Abridged. Ranks with the Century and Scribner's as an excellent general magazine, and has about the same general scope, dealing more with travel and popular science and rather less with history, biography and general literary criticism than the Century. The short stories are good and the serials usually appear later in book form. The illustrations are very good. The color plates have improved greatly in the past few years. Complete bound sets of Harper's are common and cheap, but a full set is seldom necessary and requires at least an Abridged Poole's index to make its contents accessible. Harper's Weekly. New York, 1857-1913. v. 1-57. $4. Indexed in Readers' Guide and Library Index. One of the best known and for many years the most influ- ential illustrated weekly in America. Formerly staunchly Re- publican and interested in political reforms. The cartoons have always been noteworthy. The Civil War volumes are very popular with G. A. R. men and are of much historic interest. In later years the paper became first independent, then Demo- cratic and is now generally considered the defender of con- servatism and of the corporation interests ofr the country.. Its attitude in general is opposite that of Collier's (see p. 12), and both papers may well be taken for reading room use and for debate material on contemporary matters. The criticisms on current drama are of interest and value. House Beautiful (monthly). Chicago, 1896-1913. v. 1-33. $2. Indexed in Magazine Subject-Index (1907-08) and in Readers' Guide (Jan., 1909-date). The earlier volumes were rather closely confined to interior and exterior house decoration and to landscape gardening from the viewpoint of the well-to-do or moderately wealthy. The later volumes include articles on the artistic handicrafts, with occasional discussions of general art matters, while the estates described and illustrated are more like those in Country Liff in America. Well illustrated by half-tones, usually from pho tographs. PERIODICALS FOR THE SMALL LIBRARY 17 Independent (weekly). New York, 1848-1913. v. 1-74. $3. Originally a religious weekly but now a weekly magazine with a distinctly ethical tendency but no sectarian bias. Current events and important world movements are discussed in signed articles by prominent men and women. Both sfdes of important questions are usually represented. Literature and the drama receive considerable attention and there are numerous unsigned book reviews of varying length. The scope has been widened to include nearly all important social activities, and the reference value, particularly of the last ten or twelve volumes, is high. The editorials are candid and fairly impartial. International Studio (monthly). New York, 1897-1913. v. 1-48. $5. American edition of Studio (Lond.) Indexed in Poole, Library Index and Readers' Guide. Articles on the fine arts in general. Most attention is given to painting and other illustrative processes but there are numerous articles on architecture, the arts and crafts, and in- terior and exterior decoration. The typography is good and the illustrations in black and white and in color are excellent. An excellent source of material for papers on art and of con- siderable reading-room value on account of Its illustrations. $,. Ladies' Home Journal (monthly). Philadelphia, 1883- 1912. v. 1-30. $1.50. Indexed in Readers' Guide, Library Index and Readers' Guide Abridged. The most widely read and widely imitated of any woman's magazine and always popular for reading-room use. Serials and short stories of undoubted moral tone but of varying literary merit, and frequent articles on biography and current social movements. Much addicted to reform articles of all kinds from hints on etiquette for young girls to reform of educational institutions from primary school to college. All phases of domestic economy are treated from cooking and fashions to plans of moderate-priced houses. Distinctly popular in appeal and sometimes so obvious in its advice as to irritate people of broad training and culture, but on the whole it exerts a very wholesome influence. Life (weekly). New York, 1883-1912. v. 1-60. $5. Decidedly the best American humorous periodical and a prime favorite in reading rooms. The literary tone is unusually good for a magazine of its kind. The humor occasionally oversteps 18 PERIODICALS FOR THE SMALL LIBRARY the bounds of good taste and a marked cynical tone is often in evidence. The illustrations are cleverly drawn and for the most part are real commentaries on passing events. The editorials are brief but keen and usually fair comments on men and movements. The dramatic criticisms are unusually candid, while the book notes are brief, accurate, and up to date and are used by several large libraries as guides to the purchase of new books. The whole tone of the paper is fair with the exception of a few easily ascertained subjects (for example, vivisection, divorce and certain forms of race prejudice). Literary Digest (weekly). New York, 1890-1913, v. 1-46. $3. Indexed in Readers' Guide since Jan., 1913. As its name implies, a digest of articles from current news- papers and periodicals, American and foreign, covering current events, foreign affairs, pure and applied science, religion, art, literature and miscellaneous items. Impartial, with no editorials Its wide scope and brief articles make it useful to business men and other busy people. The brevity of its articles somewhat lessens its value for permanent reference use. Littell's Living Age (weekly). Boston, 1844-1912. v. 1-276. $6. In 7 series of 36, 20, 32, 27, 84, 19, and 58 volumes (to date) respectively. Indexed in Poole, Abridged Poole, Library Index and Readers' Guide. A collection of reprints from the best English periodicals, sometimes entire and sometimes extracts or abridgements. Covers a wide field. Not popular in appeal but gives the cultivated reader access to the best material in a large number of periodicals which are too expensive for and of comparatively little use in the small library. The bound volumes are valuable reference aids, espe- cially along literary lines. Little Folks' Magazine (monthly). Salem, Mass., 1897- 1913. v. 1-16. $1. Not indexed in the general periodical indexes. "The best of the babyish magazines." Stories, serials and poems in the simplest language for boys and girls from three to twelve years of age. Similar in contents to the Children's Magazine but belter for most libraries which want only one of the kind. Includes paper dolls and other colored illustra- tions for cutting out, hence requires watching to avoid muti- lation. PERIODICALS FOR THE SMALL LIBRARY 19 McClure's Magazine (monthly). New York, 1893-1913. v. 1-40. $1.50. Indexed in Poole, Abridged Poole, Library Index, Read- ers' Guide and Readers' Guide Abridged. Considered by many the best of the cheaper magazines for library use. Similar in scope and general character to the American Magazine and Everybody's. Biography and history have been prominent, especially in the earlier volumes. In later years the magazine has become more aggressive in reform move- ments but, while often partisan, it is seldom hysterical or morbid. Its articles on political and social affairs are often useful in reference work. The fiction maintains a good average of interest as well as of literary merit. Nation (weekly). New York, 1865-1913. v. 1-94. $3. Indexed in Poole, Abridged Poole, Library Index and Readers' Guide. The sub-title reads "A weekly journal devoted to politics, literature, science and art." The long editorial articles, which also appear on the editorial pages of the New York Evening Post, are carefully written and usually based on sound knowl- edge and adequate research, and are for the most part of more than temporary value. There are also numerous communica- tions on various subjects by people of prominence. The book reviews are unsigned and often somewhat belated but are written by authorities on the subjects treated, and are much relied upon by librarians. Both the Nation and the Dial are free from suspicion of publishers' influence in their criticisms of books. The whole tone of the paper is fearless independence, sometimes tinged with scepticism of popular judgments, but always on a high moral plane. National Geographic Magazine (monthly) . Washington, 1888-1913. v. 1-24. $2.50. Indexed in Poole, Library Index, Readers' Guide (since Jan., 1909), and Readers' Guide Abridged. Published by the National Geographic Society and sent free to members. Deals with manners and customs of different people, travel and description, natural resources and commercial activities in a broad sense. Reliable and scientific but interest- ing and non-technical. Numerous half-tone illustrations from photographs. A great aid in teaching geography and com- mercial geography and of interest to general readers. A magazine of the same general type but with more general magazine features is the Travel Magazine (N. Y., monthly, $3) 20 PERIODICALS FOR THE SMALL LIBRARY which has in a number of cases proved attractive to older boys and girls. New York Times Review of Books (weekly). New York, 1890-1912. $1. Not indexed in the general periodical indexes. Formerly The New York Times Saturday Review. A regular supplement to the Sunday edition of the New York Times. Book reviews of varying length, mostly unsigned and a large number of "Answers to correspondents." The longer re- views are occasionally fairly authoritative criticisms, but the briefer ones are more frequently descriptive or mere analyses of contents. Its chief use is to enable a library to supply new books promptly as the notes and reviews nearly always closely follow the publication of the book reviewed. The small library which buys but few books will usually find it advantageous to wait for more mature judgment on recent publications. North American Review (monthly). New York, 1815- 1912. v. 1-197. $4. Indexed in Poole, Abridged Poole, Library Index, Read- ers' Guide and Readers' Guide Abridged. Semi-monthly from September, 1906-August, 1907 (v. 183-186). An admirable review of topics of current importance by recognized authorities, political and social matters receiving the most prominence. The occasional book-reviews are excellent. The whole set is in constant use by debaters and students of economics and sociology. In recent years it has been under the same general editorship as Harper's Weekly and reflects something of the same general editorial policy. Outing Magazine (monthly). New York, 1882-1913. v. 1-61. $3. Indexed in Poole, Abridged Poole, Library Index and Readers' Guide. As its name indicates, devoted chiefly to outdoor sports and vacation travel. Even the fiction is influenced t>y the general outdoor tone of the magazine. Of no particular reference value but a favorite for general reading among men and boys interested in outdoor life and athletics of all kinds. Stands con- sistently for clean sport. PERIODICALS FOR THE SMALL LIBRARY 21 Outlook (weekly). New York, 1893-1913. v. 48-103. $3. Continuation of Christian Union, which comprises vols. 1-47 of the series. Indexed in Poole, Abridged Poole, Library Index, Read- ers' Guide and Readers' Guide Abridged. One of the best-known weeklies dealing with current events. Still maintains a distinctly religious tone though it is prac- tically free from sectarian or theological bias. The regular numbers are chiefly devoted to discussions of social and political matters, with one or two literary articles; the monthly "maga- zine numbers" contain more illustrations, fiction, and more matter of a general literary character. The book reviews are generally fair but rather colorless, especially the briefer ones. The editorials are always worthy of attention but within the last four or five years have become known as the expression of the personalities of the leading editors rather than strictly impartial discussions. Shares with the Independent and Literary Digest the distinction of being one of the most timely reference aids on current events. Popular Electricity (monthly). Chicago, 1908-13. v. 1-5. $1.50. Not indexed in the general periodical indexes. Similar, within its special field, to Popular Mechanics. Treat.: all phases of the application of electricity to the sciences and arts and includes many hints for the amateur or even the pro- fessional electrician. Has proved popular in many children's rooms for boys of grammar school age and is much used in adult reading-rooms. Popular Mechanics Magazine (monthly). Chicago, 1902- 1913. v. 1-19. $1.50. Not indexed in the general periodical indexes. Treats briefly all kinds of mechanical devices and processes "written so you can understand it." Brief descriptions and out- line sketches of "interesting patents" are given. The section on "Amateur mechanics" makes it a favorite with the older boys. The "Shop notes" are in considerable favor with practical workmen and may also be obtained separately. Probably the best of its class at present and useful alike in the reading-room and on the reference shelves. The lack of a general index somewhat impairs its usefulness and its general appearance is not attractive. 22 PERIODICALS FOR THE SMALL LIBRARY Review of Reviews, American (monthly). 1890-1913. v. 1-47. $3. Indexed in Poole, Abridged Poole, Library Index, Read- ers' Guide and Readers' Guide Abridged. Original and condensed or digested articles on current move- ments. Particular attention to politics and sociology but litera- ture, drama and art also included. The "Progress of the world" section is a good summary of events of the month, American and foreign. The "Cartoons of the month" make it popular in reading-rooms. Articles are too brief for students but useful for information too recent to be presented in more formal articles or books. St. Nicholas (monthly). New York, 1873-1913. v. 1-40. $3. Indexed in "Readers' Guide, Library Index and Readers' Guide Abridged. A first-class, popular, well-illustrated magazine for young people. Short stories, serials, articles on history, biography, travel and nature study. Special pages for small children. The articles are almost without exception well written, wholesome and interesting. Back volumes are well worth getting, but as many of the older volumes are rare and expensive, only the more recent volumes should be generally circulated. There is a general index to vols. 1-36 (2 v. $4 each. H. W. Wilson Co., Minneapolis). Saturday Evening Post (weekly). Philadelphia, 1728- 1913. v. 1-185. $1.50. Not indexed in the general periodical indexes. A .very popular paper in reading-rooms. All present day activities receive attention; business and finance, inventions, engineering, public and personal hygiene, social conditions and politics. Inclined to be independent and progressive. The editorials are fair, keen and concise summaries of current con- ditions. The fiction (which varies from very good to very poor) and the biographies of men of present importance are popular features. Frequently useful in debate work on politics and sociology but a reflector rather than a critic of public opinion, hence of less reference use than Review of Reviews or World's Work. School Arts Magazine. Boston, 1901-12. v. 1-12. $2. Not indexed in the general periodical indexes, but a general index to vols. 1-11 has just been published (1912, $2). Formerly the School Arts Book. "Published every month except July and August. Devoted to the service of those who PERIODICALS FOR THE SMALL LIBRARY 23 teach drawing and the allied arts in the schools. Practical, suggestive, stimulative of higher ideals of art distinctly dis- couraging to the mere prettiness and trivialities which have crept into the teaching in some of our public schools, and have been encouraged by the 'art departments' of some school jour- nals. Illustrations suggestive, good in subject and execution." Jones. Of rather wide use among grade teachers generally. School Review (monthly, except July and August). Chi- cago, 1883-1912. v. 1-21, $1.50. Indexed in Library Index and Readers' Guide. Devoted to the principles and problems of secondary educa- tion. General methods rather than devices are discussed. News notes, a few extended book reviews (signed), and notices of new books are regular features. Scientific American (weekly). New York, Series 1, 1845- 1859. v. 1-12; Series 2, 1859-1913. v. 1-107. $3. Indexed in Engineering Index, Library Index, Readers' Guide and Readers' Guide Abridged. "The purpose of this journal is to record accurately, simply and interestingly the world's progress in scientific knowledge and industrial achievement." Includes also articles on anthro- pology and archaeology. Brief descriptions, with some illustra- tions, of "recently patented inventions" and reviews of new scientific books. As a scientific newspaper it is much read by men and older boys. Scientific American Supplement (weekly). New York, 1876-1913. vol. 1-75. $5. Indexed in Readers' Guide, Library Index and Engineer- ing Index. Covers much the same ground as the Scientific American, with longer and usually more technical articles, and fewer "news" features. Includes also digests of important articles in European periodicals and books. Both are valuable for any library at all frequented by men. The Supplement is often the more useful in reference work. Scribner's Magazine (monthly). New York, 1887-1913. v. 1-53. $3. Indexed in Poole, Abridged Poole, Library Index, Read- ers' Guide and Readers' Guide Abridged. Somewhat smaller and cheaper than the Century and Harper's 24 PERIODICALS FOR THE SMALL LIBRARY Magazine with which it ranks in quality, general scope and illustrations. Many of the articles, particularly on art and general literature, are of permanent reference value. Should not be confused with Scribner's Monthly, the predecessor of the Century. Survey (weekly). New York, 1897-1913. v. 1-29. $2. Formerly the Charities Review and Charities and the Commons. Indexed in Poole, Readers' Guide and Readers' Guide Abridged. "A journal of constructive philanthropy" dealing with all movements, public and private, which aim at social improve- ment. Earnest, aggressive, optimistic but practical, inclined to favor labor as against capital but fair in its presentations. Much used by high-school debaters and extensively read, par- ticularly in cities and the large towns. Technical World Magazine (monthly). Chicago, 1904-13. v. 1-18. $1.50. Indexed in Magazine Subject-Index and in Readers' Guide since Jan., 1913. Primarily for men and older boys. Covers same general ground as Popular Mechanics with less of the practical "shop notes" features and more attention to the news side of engineer- ing and invention. Woman's Home Companion (monthly). Springfield, O., and New York, 1873-1913. v. 1-40. $1.50. Indexed in Readers' Guide since February, 1913. In contents and general scope closely resembles the Delineator and the Ladies' Home Journal, but heretofore less useful for preservation because unindexed. Useful for reading-rooms chief- ly frequented by women and larger girls. The quality has greatly improved in the last few years. World's Chronicle (weekly). Chicago, 1900-1912. $1.50. Not indexed in the general periodical indexes. Devoted chiefly to current events, but also contains articles on travel, stories, etc. Intended for school use and becoming very popular for that purpose. Of value in the children's room of the library if not accessible in the school reading-room. The PERIODICALS FOR THE SMALL LIBRARY 25 style is concise and simple and the general tone of the paper is good, though the appearance is not very attractive. World's Work (monthly). New York, 1900-1913. v. 1-25. $3. Indexed in Poole, Abridged Poole, Library Index, Read- ers' Guide and Readers' Guide Abridged. Made up of comments and papers on current events and current movements. "The march of events" is composed of brief well-written editorials on persons and occurrences of present prominence. The general articles are fresh and inter- esting and touch on the moral and intellectual welfare of the country as well as on its material prosperity. Excellent half- tone portraits and other illustrations. Covers, without duplicat- ing or imitating, much the same general ground as the Review of Re-views. Youth's Companion (weekly). Boston, 1827-1913. v. 1-86. $2. Not indexed in the general periodical indexes. One of the oldest and most popular papers for young people. The serials and short stories are interesting and wholesome and usually above the average juvenile book in literary merit. In addition to the fiction there are regularly included articles on current events, sciences and invention, industries, travel, his- tory and biography, anecdotes. In later volumes there is a special page for girls which includes arts and crafts, household economics, etc. A page of stories, pictures, jingles and puzzles for the smaller children is also a regular feature. Very com- monly found on the reading tables of schools and much used as a family magazine. The back numbers and volumes are popular for general reading but are expensive to bind on account of the size and of the poor quality of the paper. Would be of much reference use in children's rooms if indexed in a general index. 26 PERIODICALS FOR THE SMALL LIBRARY PERIODICAL INDEXES AND THE REFERENCE USE OF MAGAZINES. Much of the current use and nearly all of the reference use of periodicals is due to the general periodical indexes and many magazines which would otherwise be of only temporary value are made permanently useful by the inclusion of their material in these indexes. Periodical material is of value in reference work along many different lines. Practically the only satisfactory source of information on most current topics is the mag- azine and many valuable magazine articles are never re- printed. On the other hand, much that later appears in book form is first published in the magazine. This in- cludes poetry, fiction, biography, history, science and practically every field of knowledge. If this material is made available through the periodical index the library will be saved the expense of duplicating it in book form. On account of its popular appeal, the magazine article is more likely to be suited to the general reader than the more formal treatise in the form of a book or pamphlet. In most cases the briefer indexes are not only less expensive than the fuller ones, but are more useful to the small library. It is difficult to persuade the average reader that the general index is not an index to the pe- riodicals owned by the library and he is likely to be more or less annoyed when told that the most of the refer- ences he selects are not in the volumes owned by the library. Only the large libraries own even a fair per- centage of the periodical sets listed in the large indexes and the use of these indexes in the small library is chiefly to furnish the reader with a list of specific references to consult in the larger library. For this reason only the indexes likely to be useful to smaller libraries are in- cluded in the following list. PERIODICALS FOR THE SMALL LIBRARY 27 Poole's Index to Periodical Literature. Abridged edition. Boston, Houghton, Mifflin Co. $12 net. Indexes 37 of the most used periodicals from their beginning through 1899 (see pages 30-31). The entries are arranged by subject and title and give volume number and page but no date. This, with the Supplement (see below) is the best guide for a library which desires to build up a moderate-sized periodical collection of complete or fairly complete sets. Supplement. 1900-1904 (inclusive). Boston: Houghton, Mifflin Co. 1905. $5 net. Readers' Guide to Periodical Literature. 1900-1904 (in- clusive). Minneapolis, H. W. Wilson Co. 1905. $16. Indexes 67 English and American periodicals by author and subject. Title entries given when helpful as in the case of fiction. Portraits, maps and important book reviews are in- cluded. . Vol. 2, 1905-1909 (inclusive). Minneapolis, H. W. Wilson Co. 1910. $24. Co. 1910. $24. Indexes 99 periodicals, including all indexed in first volume except the few which have suspended publication. "Also an index in the same alphabet to several hundred composite books, reports of learned societies, etc., published since 1900." Fur- nishes a good basis for the library which is necessarily limited to partial sets of the more recent material. Readers' Guide to Periodical Literature (monthly). Min- neapolis, H. W. Wilson Co. $4 upward. (Con- sult publishers for subscription price.) Supplements the above with current entries to from 80 to 100 periodicals. Cumulated at the end of each quarter the Decem- ber number forming an annual index for the current year. In Jan. 1913 a number of the more special periodicals were omitted for later inclusion in a bi-monthly Supplement (first issue to appear March, 1913) intended chiefly^ for the larger libraries and a few popular but previously unindexed periodicals were included. Other minor changes in inclusion during the year are probable. (See pages 31-32.) In recent years also includes in each number an index to a selected list of books dealing with a variety of subjects. 28 PERIODICALS FOR THE SMALL LIBRARY Readers* Guide to Periodical Literature, Abridged (quar- terly). Minneapolis, H. W. Wilson Co. 1908- 12. $4. Continuation of the Eclectic Library Catalog. Cumulates. Indexes 22 periodicals and public documents par- ticularly useful to the small library and selected by vote of a large number of libraries. Entries identical with those in Readers' Guide. Includes list of government documents and other material useful to the small library and obtainable free or at little cost. The annual numbers of the Eclectic Library Catalog index about 20 periodicals of 1908-1911 inclusive, and are obtainable at $3 each net. (1908-10 bound together, $3 net"). These with the current numbers of the Readers' Guide are a good guide for a small library just beginning a periodical collection. Beginning with 1913 the H. W. Wilson Co. propose to discontinue the Readers' Guide Abridged and to offer in its stead to small libraries taking no more than twenty of the periodicals listed in the Readers' Guide the quarterly cumulated numbers of the Readers' Guide at $4 a year. Other general periodical indexes useful in larger li- braries are listed below : Poole's Index to Periodical Literature, 1802-81. Rev. ed. Boston, Houghton, Mifflin Co. 1891. 2 v. $16. Supplements 1882-1907 Boston, Houghton, Mifflin Co. 1887-1908. Sv. $46. The most comprehensive of any index to periodicals. Includes many now discontinued and many useful only in the large or special library. The supplements (now discontinued) were pub- lished at five year intervals. Indexed by significant subject- word of title. Annual Library Index. 1892-1910. New York, Publish- ers' Weekly. 1893-1911. 19 v. $3.50 each. Continues Poole's Index and indexes nearly 100 periodicals each year. Numerous essays, parts of books, etc., are also in- dexed and there are valuable appendixes. Volumes for 1892- 1904 bear the title Annual Literary Index. Discontinued with 1910 volume. Magazine Subject-Index. 1907-1911. Boston, Boston Book Co., 1908-12. 5v. $5.50 each. Indexes between 70 and 80 periodicals, some of them in rather common use, but not indexed in other general indexes. Libraries which can afford only a very few magazines PERIODICALS FOR THE SMALL LIBRARY 29 can rent for a limited period any article indexed in the Readers' Guide or Readers' Guide Abridged from H. W. Wilson Co., Minneapolis, Minn. Beginning March, 1913, the H. W. Wilson Co. also issue an Industrial Arts Index, which indexes a consider- able number of technical periodicals dealing with a great variety of industries. THE FIRST MAGAZINES TO SELECT FOR A SMALL LIBRARY. Local conditions play so important a part in determin- ing what magazines a library shall take that no definite standard for first selection can be established. The fol- lowing conditions among others should be fulfilled by each magazine taken : (1) It should be one the patrons will read ; (2) it should be of as high quality as they will read; (3) it should directly meet some need of the com- munity, i. e., it should be useful as well as entertaining; (4) it should offend no part of the community by its un- fairness ; (5) it should, if possible, be of permanent value ; (6) it should be within the means of the library. The following list of the first dozen recommended for a small library was suggested by Mr. J. I. Wyer, Jr., in New York Libraries, for January, 1908 : Atlantic Monthly $ 4.00 Century Magazine , 4.00 / Collier's National Weekly or 5.20 \ I Harper's Weekly 4.00 J Harper's Magazine 4.00 McClure's Magazine 1.50 Outing 3.00 Outlook 3.00 Review of Reviews 3.00 St. Nicholas 3.00 Scientific American and Supplement 5.00 World's Work 3.00 $38.70 $37.50 Mrs. Katharine MacDonald Jones in her Magazines for the Small Library suggests the following for the first ten : 1st Five Harper's Monthly . .$ 4.00 Collier's National Weekly 5.20 30 PERIODICALS FOR THE SMALL LIBRARY Youth's Companion (weekly) 2.00 Ladies Home Journal (monthly) 1.50 Outlook (weekly) 3.00 $15.70 2nd Five Popular Mechanics $ 1.50 McClure's Magazine 1.50 World's Work* 3.00 St. Nicholas 3.00 Life 5.00 $13.50 Total cost of 1st ten $29.20 Others may be added from those listed in the Readers' Guide Abridged. Occasionally one not included in the general lists on pages 9-25 and 30-31 will prove of value; for example, one or two good agricultural papers in a farming community or some special magazine relating to a local industry.
