 FOREWORD 
 
 This number of the Kearney State Normal School 
 Bulletin is in the interest of library work for the elemen- 
 tary schools, especially for Rural Schools. It has been 
 X^ prepared by our librarian, Miss Anna V. Jennings, as- 
 "\ sisted by Miss Ethol M. Langdon, Assistant Librarian, 
 and the Departments of Rural Education, Music, and Art. 
 We trust that it may render helpful service. 
 
 A copy is in the office of each County Superintend- 
 ent of the State. A copy may be had free by writing for 
 V it.

 INTRODUCTION 
 
 The object of this bulletin is to give the rural teacher 
 some help in the selection and care of a school library, 
 and also to give sources where information and material 
 on various school activities may be secured. There has 
 been no attempt at completeness in any of the work. As 
 there is no published standard for the rural school library 
 in Nebraska, a suggested list of books has been given, 
 with the simplest plan possible for the organization and 
 care of the library. The scheme, if adopted, will not in- 
 terfere with classification later. Without some instruc- 
 tion in library science, it is impossible to classify and cat- 
 alog the books. Until the library has reached 500 vol- 
 umes, no difficulty will be found in the arrangement sug- 
 gested. Grateful acknowledgment is made for ideas in 
 the publications from the departments of education in 
 Minnesota, Wisconsin and Idaho, and for valuable sug- 
 gestions from the State Department of Education of Ne- 
 braska, and also from the Rural Department of the 
 Kearney State Normal School. The material on music is 
 furnished by Mrs. Grace E. Steadman, Supervisor of 
 Music, Kearney State Normal School; the picture list by 
 Miss Marion Smith, head of the Art Department of the 
 Kearney State Normal School.

 School Library Law 
 
 Revised Statutes 1913 
 
 Chapter 71. Article 5. 
 
 Sec. 96. School District Library. The school board 
 or school trustees of every school district within this 
 state may, at its discretion, set aside annually from the 
 general funds collected for the use of the district the 
 sum of ten cents per pupil as shown by the total number 
 of pupils within the school district at the last annual 
 school census. The amount so set aside shall be known 
 as the district library funds and shall be, by the school 
 board or school trustees of such district, annually in- 
 vested in books other than the regular text-books, which 
 books so provided shall be suitable for the district school 
 library. 
 
 Sec. 97. Same Care Rules. The school boards*or 
 school trustees shall provide for the care of such library 
 at the school-house and shall prescribe the rules and 
 regulations under which it shall be used by the district. 
 
 Sec. 98. Support of School Library. By direction 
 of the school board or board of trustees of any school dis- 
 trict in which a free public library is maintained and to 
 the support and extension of which a sum of not less than 
 three hundred dollars is expended annually, the two 
 next preceding sections shall be inoperative.
 
 Selection of Books 
 
 The library is rapidly becoming an important part 
 in the equipment of every standard public school. Every 
 rural school should plan to spend at least $25 a year for 
 keeping up the library. 
 
 The rural school library is primarily for the children 
 and the first purchases after a dictionary, and World Al- 
 manac, should be for them, beginning with the primary. 
 Cyclopaedias are not as essential as separate books on 
 particular subjects. When buying a cyclopaedia, see 
 that it is up-to-date. Champlin's cyclopaedia is best 
 adapted to the needs of the average rural school. 
 
 Select good editions. Avoid poorly printed and 
 paper bound books, and books in sets. It is better to buy 
 a few books by several authors, than a complete set by 
 one author. Quality and not number makes the library 
 valuable. Make no effort to buy current fiction. Do 
 not buy subscription books or whole libraries from travel- 
 ing agents. If you need assistance in choosing books, 
 consult your County Superintendent, the State Depart- 
 ment of Public Instruction, or the Library Commission at 
 Lincoln. The U. S. Bureau of Education, Washington, 
 D. C., will also give suggestions on request. Marion Hum- 
 ble 's "Children's books recommended for first pur- 
 chase," Wisconsin Library Commission, Madison, Wis., 
 25c is a valuable aid. 
 
 In the suggested list, it will be necessary to select, to 
 meet the needs of the school. There should be at least 
 six books for each grade, aside from the supplementary 
 texts which should be supplied as text-books, beginning 
 with the lower grades. Additional helps in history, geo- 
 graphy and nature study should be in the first order. 
 
 Books for neighborhood use should be the last to be 
 considered, as the public library in the nearest town will 
 furnish these. A traveling library may be secured from

 tlu> State Library Commission, Lincoln, Nebr., which 
 will supplement the school library. 
 
 Kvery library should contain material on "how to 
 teach" that will supplement the teacher's private collec- 
 tion. 
 
 HOW TO ORDER 
 
 All publishing houses give a good discount on Li- 
 brary orders. Usually it is cheaper to pay freight than to 
 buy through the local dealer. A. C. McClurg and Co.. 
 Chicago, and the St. Paul Book and Stationery Co., St. 
 Paul, Minn., are reliable firms. 
 
 0. G. Waffle, Marion, Iowa and The H. R. Huntthig 
 Co., Springfield, Mass., make a specialty of standard re- 
 ference and general library books. 
 
 In ordering, mention publisher and price of books 
 
 in order to get the right edition.

 PREPARATION OF BOOK 
 
 Check the bill with the order then check bill with 
 books, and write the date, of whom bought, and price on 
 first page after title page on the inside margin, e. g: 7 
 My '16 Me 4.00 2v. or, 7 My '16 Me .27. 
 
 Stamp each book in the middle of inside front cover. 
 If writing cannot be read on the cover, paste a sheet of 
 white paper on the inside of the front cover and stamp, 
 or use the margin of the title page. 
 
 RURAL LIBRARY 
 STATE NORMAL SCHOOL

 Book No. . 
 
 Open the books and arrange those on the same sub- 
 ject together on the shelf. 
 
 SHELVING 
 
 Have open shelves if possible, with all books in view 
 and within reach. Shelving should be built around the 
 walls and under the windows. Shelves should be eight 
 inches deep and not more than thirty-six inches wide, 
 with ten inches space between and a twelve inch space 
 for the bottom shelf to allow for large books. 
 
 If books must be kept in a cupboard, secure one with 
 glass doors. A table for the use of dictionary, cyclopaed- 
 ias and magazines would be useful; if this cannot be se- 
 cured, have the top shelf of the case under the window 
 made 9 inches deep for this purpose.

 QUARTERLY BULLETIN OP 
 
 CARE OF BOOKS 
 
 The life of a book may be prolonged by teaching the 
 children to respect its physical side and to observe the 
 following directions: 
 
 How to open books. Lay the book, back downward, 
 on a table or smooth surface. Press the front cover 
 down until it touches the table, then the back cover, hold- 
 ing the leaves in one hand while you open a few at the 
 back, then at the front, alternately, pressing them down 
 gently until you reach the center of the volume. Never 
 open the book violently nor bend back the covers; it is 
 liable to break the back and to loosen the leaves. 
 
 Never mark a libr&ryvbdok.. 
 
 Do not use a thick book mark. 
 
 Do not turn down the corners of the book. 
 
 Never handle with soiled or moist hands. 
 
 Do not lay a book face downward, or place one book 
 on top of another when they are open. 
 
 Keep books upright on the shelves and do not crowd 
 them. If a book is too large to stand upright, lay it 
 on its side 
 
 Book supports may be secured from the Library 
 Bureau, Chicago, 111., at ten cents each, or ordinary 
 bricks may be covered with paper and used. 
 
 Teach the children to mend the tears in pages, and to 
 fasten loose illustrations and pages. Never use needle 
 and thread. 
 
 ee that all books are repaired after they have been 
 loaned before they are returned to the shelves. Sawyer, 
 "How to care for books in a library" may be secured 
 from the Democrat Printing Co., Madison, Wis. Price 
 lOc. 
 
 Never use mucilage or glue. Homemade flour paste 
 or library paste should be used. Mending materials may 
 
 (14)
 
 THE KEARNEY STATE NORMAL SCHOOL 
 
 be secured from Gaylord Brothers, Syracuse, New York, 
 or Democrat Printing Co., Madison, Wis. Send for cata- 
 logs. 
 
 If a book which costs more than 75 cents comes out 
 of the cover, it will pay to have it rebound. Waldorf 
 Bindery Co., St. Paul, Minn., does satisfactory binding. 
 
 RECORDS 
 
 (See Form for Accession Book on Page 16) 
 
 The accession record is a chronological list of the 
 books added to the library and is the most important rec- 
 ord for the school. 
 
 The most important items are the author's name, 
 title, publisher, year and price. 
 
 Enter all books in the accession book, one volume to 
 the line and assign to each a number taken .from the num- 
 ber of the line on which it is entered. This is the acces- 
 sion number of the 15ook which should be written on the 
 first right hand page following the title, and on the 
 stamped book plate inside the front cover. 
 
 Enter only one book to the line, whether a single 
 book or a volume in a set. 
 
 Do not use an accession number a second time. If 
 the book is lost or withdrawn, make a note in the remarks 
 column. 
 
 Do not accession books in bad condition, or unbound 
 pamphlets. 
 
 An accession book for 1000 volumes may be secured 
 from the Demqcrat Printing Co., Madison, Wis., for $1.00. 
 
 BORROWER'S RECORD 
 
 (See Form for Borrower's Record on Page 16) 
 
 A boiTower's record for each pupil of all books used, 
 including library and text-books, may be kept. If a 
 loose leaf record is desired, take heavy manila paper 6x9 
 using a sheet for each pupil. Punch the upper end of 
 sheet and fasten complete file with note-book rings. An 
 ordinary note book or ledger may be used. 
 
 Rule each page or sheet and write in the items .

 USE OF THE LIBRARY 
 
 Every child should be taught the physical make-up 
 of the book and should know the use of title pages, pre- 
 face, contents and index. Suggestions for teaching the 
 use of the dictionary are given in the Dictionary leaflets 
 (free) from Merriam Co., Springfield, Mass. Aside from 
 the required supplementary reading, each child should 
 become interested in general reading. The teacher must 
 know the books before she can arouse interest in the 
 library. Encourage the children to keep a personal record 
 of the books read during the year, supervise the selec- 
 tion, and set aside a library hour for book reports. These 
 reports will serve to increase the pleasure in reading, and 
 will teach the children how to read intelligently.

 MUSIC 
 
 Music is quite as important for the rural child as for 
 his city cousin, and in the near future it will be a re- 
 quired subject in every school. Sight singing is easily 
 taught and the note picture becomes an interesting song 
 story. Coupled with the regular sight reading is the 
 idea of music appreciation, taught by means of the talk- 
 ing machine. Culture comes from understanding and 
 knowing as well as doing. The records of great orches- 
 tras, operas, oratorios and singers open up a new world 
 to the average child, and the addition of a few records 
 each year is now a necessity in every up-to-date school. 
 The best machine is the Victrola, adapted for school and 
 outdoor exercises, having a large horn. It costs $67.50, but 
 a fair machine may be secured for $25. 
 
 The first list of records should contain those which 
 present the four principles of music; nationality, poetic 
 thought, musical form and story telling. (Program 
 music). One record each day, carefully explained by the 
 teacher, will cultivate a taste and love for the best music. 
 Eecords of national and folk songs will give an added in- 
 terest to geography and history. 
 
 Music is one of the great social forces in rural com- 
 munity life. Real community music means participation 
 by everyone. Boys and girls singing .with their fathers 
 and mothers will establish a common bond and lessen the 
 lure of city life. 
 
 The music of the civil war period includes many 
 beautiful songs which are now classed as American folk 
 'songs. Some of these are "Old Folks at Home," "Old 
 Black Joe," and "Kentucky Home." 
 
 Our patriotic songs should mean more to us than 
 mere singable melodies. Their words must be thor- 
 oughly learned and their stories made familiar. 
 
 The backbone of any rural community is its social 
 life. Music is the most social of all the arts and promotes 
 friendliness and co-operation. At these evening "sings" 
 the records which the children have studied may be used 
 for the adults with pleasure and profit. A system may 
 
 (19)

 be worked out whereby several schools owning talking 
 machines may exchange records. The following lists 
 have been carefully selected. Many of these have expla- 
 nations and stories of interest which the purchaser may 
 secure by writing to Mrs. Grace E. Steadman, Kearney 
 State Normal School.

 PICTURES 
 
 No school library is complete without a collection of 
 pictures, neither is a school room well furnished without 
 one or two well selected and well framed pictures. Avoid 
 covering the walls with calendars or small prints. ' 
 
 Pictures are invaluable for illustrative work not only 
 in picture study, but in geography, history, language and 
 nature study. Such pictures may be clipped from mag- 
 azines, railroad guides and real estate advertising. The 
 Perry Pictures Co. and the Elson Picture Co., have very 
 inexpensive prints ; write for a catalog. 
 
 Pictures should be classified according to subject 
 and arranged in large manila folders or envelopes. 
 Mounted pictures are more easily used and more service- 
 able. Heavy manila paper or a card board (gray or light 
 brown) 11 by 14 inches, or some uniform size, is most 
 convenient. Do not cover the back of the picture with 
 
 (23)

 An added interest in pictures may be obtained 
 through a picture exhibit. Write the Lincoln Fine Arts 
 Shop, Lincoln, Nebr., for information.

 will require no ruling. Arrange all books under the 
 same subject together; i. e. put all* of the arithmetics on 
 consecutive pages, and after all the books are recorded, 
 make out the index, e. g. 
 
 Arithmetic, Milne Page 1. 
 
 Arithmetic, mental. Stone Page 3.
