Library journal j official organ of the American librax^ association., under title. '< rM>£«iY^/KS.

Beowulf, Nibelungenlicd, Roland, Arabian nights' enter- tainments. S. C. 13, 56. The following is a list of the most common of these headings: Anglo-Saxon chronicle Domesday book Arabian nights' entertainments Federalist Avesta Fridthjofs saga fraekna Beowulf Gesta Romanorum Cid, Poem of the Gudrun Simplified Card Catalog Rules 15 Heliaiul Merlin Ilitopadcsa Nibelungenlied Kabala Ronarti the fox Kalevala Roland Koran Talmud Mal>inoKiiin Upanishads Malu'iliharata Special classes of people 2n Married women.

Enter a nobleman under his highest title with refer- ence from lamily name; e. g. Romney, Henry Sidney, earl of. S. C. 7. If family name, or a lower title, is decidedly better known, enter under that with reference from title; e. g. Bacon, Francis, viscount St Albans, making reference from St Albans. 2p Ecclesiastical dignitaries. Enter an ecclesiastical dignitary, unless a pope or sovereign, under his surname; e. g. Newman, John Henry, card. ; Butler, Joseph, bp. Make reference from title when surname does not appear on title-page; e. g. enter under Sherlock. Thomas, bp , and since Sherlock does not appear on title-page, make reference from Salisbury, Thomas, bp. of. 2q Persons entered under forenames. Enter a person known gen- erally by a forename under that name; e. g. sovereign Napoleon 1, S. C. 33 ruling prince Mu.xitnilian 1, elector of Bavaria many oriental writers Omar Khayydra pope Leo 13 friar Hyacinthe, Pcre, Charles Loyson person canonized Augustine, St Refer, if necessary, from other forms; e. g. Bonaparte. Napoleon, see Napoleon I; Khayydm, Omar, see Omar KhayyAra ; Loyson, Charles, see Hyacinthe, Pcre, Charles Loyson. Use arable figures after the names of rulers, popes, etc. Added entries and references 2r Editor, translator, etc. Make added entries for editors, translators, etc. only when book is well-known under those names; e. g.

Make added entries under titles of all anonymous and pseu- donymous books, or books enterd under initials, all novels, single poems and plays publisht separately, and all other striking titles; also under specially noticeable words in titles, unless these are provided for, in a dictionary catalog, by subject entries. S. C. 2, 18, 29, 41. If a book is well known by any title (e. g. running, half, or binder's title) differing from title-page make added entry under this other title. l6 Simplified Library School Rules In case of such works as the Iliad, Shakspere's plays, etc. where the library has many editions, a title reference instead of a title entry may be made; e, g. Iliad, see Homer. S. C. 14. In fiction where there are several copies of the same book (see 4h-i) a single title card may be made for all, omitting date. 2t Analytic. Make analytics for distinct, important parts of books, specially when the parts have been publisht separately orwhen the_ subjects are not otherwise represented in the library. For form of im- print, see 5k. S. C. 39-46, 66, 71. These analytics may be for an author (S. C. 40, 43), subject (S. C. 44-46, (6. 71), or title (S. C. 41.) Author analytics should not be made for parts of an author's collected works. The writer of part of a book who also edits the whole work, has no author analytic, if editor card is made (2r) unless the part has been publisht separately. On the back of every author analytic which has a corresponding sub- ject card write its subject heading, or in a clast catalog, its subject number. This often saves reference to main card, when for example, all the cards for an author must be removed from the catalog for correction, etc. 2U Series. Enter series usually under title (S. C. 34); or under editor if the series is better known by his name (S. C. 36). In the former case make reference from editor only when series is also well known by his name; e. g. enter English men of letters ; ed. by John Morky, under title with reference from Morley. S. C. 35. If series is enterd under editor, always make reference from title; e. g. enter Arber, Edward, English reprints, under Arber, with reference from English reprints. S. C. 36-37. Make series card only for more important series, but in all cases make series note in curves ( ) following date on main card. Give series number if important. S. C. 32-33, 38. Give two lines to each item of contents on series card beginning with series number between red lines, thus allowing space for both class and book numbers. S. C. 34. 36. For fulness of author's name on series card, follow rule for subject headings, 3b. When extra cards are used give author and title briefly on back of card, to identify if misplaced.

Give contents of volumes, when necessary properly to describe the work. It is usually best to give contents only on one card. In literature and polygrafy they are more useful on author card, in other classes, generally on subject card. Contents should be written in smaller letters. Begin on .second line after imprint ; see also 8i. S. C. 5. 6b Notes. Notes, as a rule, are given in English, and in smaller letters, indenting like title. S. C. 21, 47, 53, 79. Proper use of a terse, clear note is one mark of a good cataloger. Any fact should be noted which is necessary for adequate description n( the book, either as 4 publication or as a particular copy ; e. g. explanations of misleading or ambigu- ous titles, imperfectionsjetc. If the title-page dbes not show it, state language of book, in a note; ^ e. g. ' In French.' Inclusiv dates for period coverd in history and travel are very useful and may be given in a note, or as part of the subject heading. 7 Subject entries 7a Main entry. Make a subject entry for main subject of each book.X S. C. 3, 16. 19, 33, 64, 69. Certain classes of books usually have no subject entry in a dictionary catalog; e. g. ficiLin, poetry and drama b y a single author, general periodicals, autobiografy, etc. Sec Cutter, Rules. §92, 122. In both dictionary and clast catalogs, make added entries for all other important subjects in which the book as a whole may be useful.^ S. C. 65, 70. 7b Analytic. Make subject analytics for distinct, important parts of ^ books, 2t. For form of imprint see 5k. S. C. 44-46, 66, 71. 7c Pamflets. Independent books or pamtlets are often bound in one volume. Catalog each independently; i. e. make subject and author cards, and added entries if necessary for each book or pamflet. Put accession number on back of main card for first panillet. To both author and subject cards for all pamllets add note; e. g. 'Bound with other pamtlets,' 'Bound with Shairp, J: C. Robert Burns.' To trace entries, write on back of main author card the number of other seta of cards in the book, giving number of sets under each different author; e. g. 2 sets under Gray, T: I •• White, H; K. On back of author card for each secondary pamllet write subject headings (dictionary catalog) or class numbers (clast catalog) relating to that pamtlet. 24 Simplified Library School Rules 8 Indention, spacing, call numbers Indention 8a Author.

Arrange cards in name catalog as follows : 1 bibliografy 2 biografy 3 general criticism of an author 4 complete works 5 partial works 6 single works Two or more works under the title of the first should be arranged with single works. Arrange translations and criticisms^f an mdividual work directly after the original. 7 work as joint author 8 work as editor, translator, etc. Instead of white cards for biografy, bibliografy and criticism, colord cards may be used. See 12. 12 Colord cards To make certain class of entries more prominent, either in a dictionary or a clast catalog, distinctiv colors may be used. In accordance with Simplified Card Catalog Rules 29 this principle, green may be used for the biografy card described in lie; blue for the bibliografy card in the name catalog, iif; and canary for the criticism card, i ig-h. For greater convenience they are prepared with printed headings, ' For biography of, ' ' For bibliography of,' ' I'or criticism of, ' and when so used, the word 'see' should be written in black ink, i cm after red ink heading.

First of all records to be Hid, and by no means last in importance, is the accession book, the history of the growth of the library. To this the librarian turns for final reference in doubtful cases. Here is the complete story of each volume, fully told, but in the most compact form. It is the official indicator for the whole collection, the most permanent of library records. Each line is a separate pigeonhole, in which, if not exactly the book, all the condenst facts about the book are placed. Thence they are never removed, they are not stolen, or lent, or condemd, or withdrawn, or sent to the binder, or lost. The card is never misplaced, the entry does not mysteriously disappear, a new edition never supersedes, the entry never needs to be rewritten. The librarian may turn to his accession book to learn what, and u'here, and when, and whence, and hmv much, and feel sure of his answer. A well made accession book has an element of mathematical exactness unknown to the card catalog or shelf list. It is the editio priitceps. By this complete, unchangeable record the additions for every day, week, month, and year are shown at a glance; also the total number of volumes which the library has had, and its present number by subtract- ing the total withdrawn and lost. 20b Form. For this essential book many forms have been used, but the best features of all were finally combined in the A L. A. standard acces- sion book made by a committee of experts who compared thuroly all the various forms collected, made and tested samples, and finally agreed on all details of materials, ruling, printing and binding. To save expanse, however, smaller libraries prefer the Condensed accession book described below and illustrated by the sample sheet facing p. 52. On the left page of the Condensed accession book are acces- sion number, author and title. On the right page are the regular imprint entries: place, publisher, year, pages and size followd by the description of the special co[iy, i. e. binding, source and cost. Next is given the call number composed of class, book ami volume numbers, and finally a column for remarks, in which are ailded notes of changes, loss, rebinding, sale, etc. By the rule of a line to a number, anil dates in the left margin, every page has exactly 25 entries, and the eye is greatly helpt in quick refer- ence. The red lines help the eye in passing across the page, following one or two above or below, and thus avoiding the danger of getting off the line in crossing the fold. 48 Simplified Library School Rules 21 Reception 2ia Bill. Arrange books in order of bill and check each item that is correct. Verify prices and footings of bill and certify bill with initials. 2lb Order slip. Compare books with order slips taken from order index. Record date of receipt and cost price on order slips, and put each order slip in the corresponding book. After accession numbers have been stampt on order slips (see 22f) file order slips in receipt index alfabeticly. 2IC Book. Pencil date, source and price in cents on inner margin of first recto after the title page ; e. g. i Je 98 Put. 167. See 22b. 2ld Private mark. Put in private mark when entry is made in acces- sion book. Each library selects its own private mark. Some libraries use a pin hole always on the same page; e. g. 49 or 33 or 65. This should be a page in the first 100. that it may apply to thin books. Others choose a more complicated rule, less easily dis- coverd; e. g. the highest page made all of 3's, i. e. 3, 33, or 333, or the highest page in I, 2, 3 order, i. e. 12, 123 or 1234. This perforation is a safe private mark, as it can hardly be found by accident or removed, if known, so as not to be detected by an expert. 22 Entry 22a Order. Enter on accession book in order of bill. The official business record of additions should be kept as strictly up to date as a cash account. If more books come in than can be written up at once, and some are wanted in special haste, they may be enterd first, but under no circumstances should leave the library till properly added. Once bearing the accession number, other facts are readily found ; but a book without this guide is easily lost or confused with books from other sources or coming in on other dates. The accession book corresponds to the invoice book of a business house. J22b Abbreviations, etc. Use the library abbreviations in all entries. See 52. These include dates, authors' forenames, place, size, binding, etc. So many facts are given in so little space, that it is important to save room by using abbrevia- tions; and as only those familiar with them use this book, the objection against the use of abbreviations in public catalogs does not hold good. All obvious contractions may be used in this book, specially in titles. Each user should, before making the first entry, read these rules thru carefully and add neatly in manuscript any added rules that seem desira- ble, and a ' List of special abbreviations,' which will show names of agents, funds, etc. local in character, but occurring so often as to need contraction. This done, a glance will show what rule was decided on and explain any abbreviations not on the printed list. 22c Date of reception. Give day, month, and year in upper left margin of each left-hand page, and day and month (521) before the first entry of each day. The running date at the top is used in turnmg to find books by dates. It applies to all entries till a new date is prefixt to the accession number. If a whole page or more are receivd the same day, the date m top margin is enough. Some- Simplified Accession Rules 49 times only a single book is aililed, but its date must tic K'ven as carefully as for a pageful, for dates, like other liguies, are almost worthless if not exact. This date shows when the book came into the library, and, if the accessions were written up daily, it would also be the date of entry. A large number coming at once should be entered under the same date, to show that they came together, even if the entry takes several days. If books accumulate they sliouhl be kept in orilcr of receptioti, which is shown by date on inner margin of first recto, 21c; and if any are specially wanted before the others, the lines may be counted off so as to accession in proper order. 22d Accession number. Give to each volume the next consecutiv num- ber on the first blank line ot the accession book, and enter this number on the lower margin of the first recto, after the title page of each volume receivd. Never assign the same number to another volume, even if the original is lost, sold, exchanged, or condemnd and an exact duplicate obtaind. An accession number is given to each separate volume, and not to works, sets, lots, series, or collections. Numbering worAs, in however many volumes they may chance to be, always leads to confusion. The last number should show how many volumes the library has receivd from the beginning. The entries, if the same, are dittoed with labor too trilling for mention. One I ditto mark serves for the who le line, instead of dittoing each word; and even this is | done only once in the life of the book. The Cottdenseil accession book has from 1000 to 5000 lines or pigeon-holes for as many distinct volumes. Trial of various plans proves it best to assign one of these pigion-holes or lines across the book to each volume. There is then no trouble in recording titles, imprint, cost, source, binding, etc., for the different volumes of a set. If any volume is lost, or rebound, or requires any note or comment to preserve its history and the record of its present state, the way is perfectly simple. 22e Number on book. As soon as assignd, stamp or write the acces- sion number near the bottom of first recto after the title-page. When the book is rebound, the number is thus preservd lor immediate reference or identification. 22f Number on card, order slip and bill. Stamp or write the accession number on the back of nyiiii ^mtln.r ^;:.ir(l, cro sswise of the back on the reverse of the upper left corner of the front (see Simplifitd card catalog rules, if S. C. 67) also on the order slip under ' Library no.' and after the first and last items on the bill. This number on the card gives easy reference to the accession book. A card with an accession number on the back is recognized at a glance as a main card In ease of sets, give only first and last accession number when consecutive ; e. g. 7523-4 2V. The numbering stam|5, tho costly at first, is a real economy in a library, where it saves its cost in time of assistants, besides giving compact printed numbers of the greatest legibility. 22g Pamflets. Pamflets not previously accessioned, when bound, are ^ entered the same as new books, on the date when they come in from the ^ bindery, which is the time of their reception as books. In the source 50 Simplified Library School Rules column the abbreviation ' pam. bd.' meaning 'pamflet bouiui,' in place of the agent's name, shows that the pamflets had been in the library, but not enterd. For a full discussion of pamflets see A L. A. Papers prepared for tlie World' s library congress, 1896. p. 826-35. 22h Author. Write author's surname in the form used in the card catalog (Simplified card catalog rules 3a) and give only initials or colon abbreviations of forenames (52a) e. g. Fiske, J:; Barrie, J. M. Give only surnames of joint authors; e. g. Huxley & Youmans. See sample accession sheet facing p. 52. The form used in the author column must correspond with the entry on the main card for the catalog, hence a careless heading should not be written here at the risk of error. If in doubt, leave the author column blank, and fill in after the heading is decided for the catalog. The line separating author and title is faint, so as to be seen only when lookt for, to guide in making the titles line accurately one under the other. When author's name or the title is very long, this line is simply disregarded, but in most entries there will be a little space between the author and the beginning of the title. If the work is anonymous, leave the author column blank, to be fild when authorship is discovered. A volume of pamtlets is enterd under the heading used on the main card for the first pamflet (Simplified card catalog rules, 7c) with a note in title column; e. g. ' & 9 other pam.' 22i Title. Give only a brief title. " Other facts are given with so much fulness that the book is readily identified. 22j Imprint. Give place, date and size, in accordance with Simplified card catalog rules (5a, f, h-j), except that more abbreviations may safely be used. See also 22b, k-n, 52. 22k Place and publisher. If several places or publishers are printed, give only the hist named on title-page, or the most important, if main publisher is given in large type with fine type names preceding. Leave space between abbreviation for place and publisher, so entry will not look like a name and initials; e. g. L. Macmillan, not L. Macmillan. 22I Year. Give date of publication in arable figures. Use copyright ilate only when there is no date on title-page, '("f*^ — ^^0^, 22m Pages. Usually give main paging. If two groups of paging are about ecjual give both; if minor group contains more than 100 pages, give both. For parts of books separately bound, give first and last pages; e. g. p. 613-1 120. In case of pamflet volumes give paging of first pamflet only. 22n Size. Except in rare books, the size letter is sufficient. See 52f. 220 Binding.

In case of foreign books convenience requires thot cost be given in ordinary dunoinination.s. so that a moment suffices to tell an inquirer the cost of any book. When several volumes of a set are bought at once, give cost of series opposit the first volume enterd, preceded by number of volumes included ; e g. v. 4, 5, and 6 of some work come in together, ai\d cost together $13.34. Instead of dividing this up, and entering $4.4^ against each volume, make the entry against the first (v. 4); e. g. 3 v. $13.44 Give items of cost carefully, thus making the accession book for all practical purposes the invoice book. Mark gifts 'g' in cost column , 22r Call number, luurt- class, book ami volume mimliUfitd card catalog rules, 8m 22s Volume number. Give number of volume if more than one. If in only one volume, leave this column blank as i indicates that it is the first of a set of two or more. In the volume cf)lumii, enter two volumes bound in one i— j, 3 -4, etc. Enter one volume bound in two parts i ', i', etc. each |)art on a separate line. Make all entries of facts [wrfectly definit. 22t Second copy. When two or more copies of a book are preservd write 'cop. i' and 'cop. 2' in volume column. If a volume number is in volume column, write 'cop. 1 ' or 'cop. 1 ' abor than at first appears, and saves more than it costs. When books come in from the bindery, it is u very brief matter to open to their numbers, and note the new binding with its cost. 52 Simplified Library School Rules Then if the volume is lost and the reader is required to pay for it, there is a means of knowing whether it was in paper as at first bought for 2; cents, or in half morocco as rebound, at an added cost of $1. The accession book is the book of final reference for these technical facts that do not appear in the catalog or shelf list. The efficient librarian must be able somewhere to refer to everything of the kind, and for this no other record offers so great advantages. 22V Pictures, statuary, maps, etc. Enter on a separate accession book, pictures, statuary, maps, and all articles, other than books, added to the library. Record date, source, cost, and any other items of interest. To distinguish works of art and their numbers from books, prefix A, marking the first work of art Ai, and so on, the last number showing the extent of the collec- tion. If wisht. a similar list for scientific specimens can be made under Si. for maps under Mi, etc. Maps, charts, etc. not in book form, should be stampt in lower right corner, or near title. In size column, give length and breadth in centimeters; e. g 41 x 52 cm. 23 Stamping, plating, pocketing and labeling See also Catalog of 'A. L. A' library, iSgj, pref p. 17- ig 23a Stamping. Stamp each full title page in every book on upper right corner. Stamp the first page of text proper (i. e. matter after preface or int oduction) in upper right corner. Stamp all plates and maps not included in paging. Do not stamp illustrations included in text. On plates, portraits, etc. stamp margin and a little of picture, but take great care not to disfigure picture by stamping on an important part. e. g. face of a portrait. When an embossing stamp is used and there are several plates, maps, etc. in a volume, fmboss at diflferent distances from t'>p of page to avoid spreading the book. If plates are so numerous that emliossin.g will swell the book materially, or if plates are on too heavy paper for perforating or embossing stamps, use ink stamp (small typr) on face of plate. 23b Plating. Paste bookplate in center of inside of front cover. If this space is occupied by another bookplate, autograf or matter of value, place plate above or below, as there ma)"^ be room. If there is not blank space enough for plate, paste its edge on inside edge of cover. 23c Pocketing. If book pockets are used, paste them in center of inside of back cover, with opening toward the inner edge. 23d Labeling or gilding.

The following rules assume iliat the books in a library have been separated into classes in some form of relativ location and that a distinguishing mark or number has been given to each book to designate its class. For convenience, the class numbers of the Abruii^ed decimal chiisification are used in illustration. For definition of class number see p. 7. For fiction, which is the largest class in most popular libraries, the class number should be omitted altogether. Thus absence of any class number shows that the book belongs to the class fiction. After books have been separated into their various classes, there may be in some cases two, in others 200 or more volumes, all bearing the same class number. If there is no arrangement in the class, much time is wasted in finding books. In small classes a particular book may be pickt out at a glance, but in large classes all the titles may have to be read in succession till the one wanted is reacht. It is very important, therefore, that the various books of each class be arranged in some definit order. For popular libraries, an alfabetic arrangement, usually by authors, is best. 31 Book numbers For definition of book number see p. 7. 31a Purpose. In order that books may be quickly and accurately placed, calld for, found and charged there should be given to each book, except fiction (see 30), both a class number and a book number. The book number distinguishes each book from every other in the same class, and in combination with the class and volume number distinguishes each volume from every other in the library. Without book numbers, it takes longer both to find and replace books, and there is great danger of putting them in wrong places, as publishers' bintlings can not be depended on as a guide. Books in each class should be placed on the shelves in the exact alfabetic and numeric order of the book numbers. The call number (the combination of the class and book number, see definition p. 7) should be placed both on the back of the book and on the btHjkplate inside the front cover. See Simplified accession rules. 23b, d. No book should be lent till plainly markt with its call number. 31b Principles. Three tests to be applied to any system of book num- bers are, simplicity, brevity and utility (i. e. capacity to serve some purpose beside that of an arbitrary mark). Book numbers should be so simple as to be readily written without mistakes by readers ignorant of the library system and easily understood by unskild assistants who must get and replace the books. Pages I Size Bind'g Source Cost Class Book Vol. REMARKS Simplified Book Numbers 53 SIMPLIFIED BOOK NUMBERS For a full liiscussion ith three figures by Kate E. Sanborn, the numbers are carried to three figures. The later edition has been used in the following rules. 32b Author arrangement. Usually assign book number from author. For treatment of individual biografy see 3Sa-d. See also 34C-d, 36a. 32c Length of number. Use initial of author and first figure of number except in fiction and individual biografy when two figures from the tables should be used ; e. g. Dickens, Charles. Child's history of England 942 DS " Barnaby Rudge Ds4 " Collection of letters 92 D54 See also 32d-e, 34b, 35b. 32d Extra figure. Add a figure from the tables to the book number, when necessary to distinguish different authors in the same class; e. g. Aldrich, A. R. 811 A3 Aldrich, T : B. 811 A36 Simplified Book Numbers 55 32e Large book. l''or books larger than octavo in all classes, use initial only, unless an added figure is needed to distinguish, in which case the tables should be used. Prefix size mark to the book number. Use q for books between 25 and 35 cm in bight, and f for books 35-50 cm, x for 50-70 cm, y for 70-90 cm and z for all books over 90 cm ; e. g. Child. Spanish-American republics. Q 918 qC In small libraries having very few books above q size, the bonks markt f, x. y and z may be kept together. 33 Title marks 33a Arrangement of titles. Arrange all titles of an author, in any given class, m alfabelic order as far as possible. For the first book add no mark for title unless there are likely to be many more books by the same author, in which case add a lower case letter for the first title. For subsequent books or for different editions add lower case initial of catch title; e. g. Lowell, J. R. Biglow papers. 1892 817 L9 " Meliboeus-Hipponax ; the Biglow 817 papers. 184S L9b " Fable for critics 817 L9f Fnr treatment of second copy see 33d. 33b Titles with same initial. If two or more titles begin with the same initial, the second letter of the title may be added to distinguish all titles after the first; e. g. , Scott, Sir Walter. Abbot S43 " Betrothed S43b Black dwarf S43bl " Bride of Lammermoor S43br 33c Titles beginning with same two letters. If two or more titles begin with the same two Idlers the atKletl letter may be selected from each title so as to secure alfabetic order; e. g. Barr, A. E. Last of the Macallisters B26I " Lone house B26I0 " Lost silver B26IS " Love for an hour B26IV Arbitrary letters may also be used for this puqxiso. 33d Second copy. Distinguish different copies of the same book by callmg the first book cop. i, the second, cop. 2, etc. In fiction treat dilTerent editions as different copies unless the edition is considerably alterd or abridged, in which case follow 33a; e. g. t "K cT^'^^^' \^ i^^c-*>-^«- i^^ec^^zz^x^ 56 Simplified Library School Rules Defoe. [Life and adventures ofj Robinson Crusoe. 1868 JD3T cop. I 1890 JD31 cop. 2 " " adapted for use of schools jD3ir For treatment of different editions aside from fiction, see 33a. 34 Special classes 34a Juvenil books. Prefix j to call number of books which are >C specially suitable for young people ; e. g. Knox. Boy travellers in South America. O 3918 . qK Scudder. Children's book. Q jqS 34b Large classes. If a class in a library, e. g. poetry, is specially large, it may be wise to use in the book number, an initial and two figures from the tables, instead of one. 34c Local history and genealogy. If a library has many books on local history, the numbers may be given from the name of the place, or in genealogy from the name of the family; e. g. Oilman. Story of Boston 974-4 B7 Kimball. Samuel Ames family 929 As The rule should be uniform in any given library. 34d Books about an author. All books about an author may be placed in a single group with a book number from name of person written about, followd by z ; e. g. Clarke. Familiar studies in Homer 883 H7Z Nettleship. Essays on Robert Browning's poetry 821 B8z 4 35 Individual biografy 35a General arrangement. To keep lives of same person together, assign book numbers from name of person written about and not from author of book. 35b Length of number. Use initial of person written about and two figures from tables. J~ Add a third figure from tables when necessary to distinguish; e. g. Ingram. Elizabeth Barrett Browning 92 B88 Gosse. Robert Browning personalia 92 B885 Simplified Book Numbers 57 35c Several lives of same person. Arrange lives of same person alfabeticiy by authors, adding author's initial to book number o( all after the first; e. g. Adams. Christopher Columbus 92 C72 Elton. Career of Columbus 92 C72e Seelye. Story of Columbus J92 C72S Winsor. Christopher Columbus 92 C72W When there are many lives of a iierson, a lower case letter may be added to the number for first book. 35d Authors having same initial. To distinguish authors with same initial, follow analogy nf rules for title marks (33b-c) ; e. g. Hale. Life of Washington 92 VV3ih Hayden. Washington 92 W3iha Headley. Life of Washington 92 W3ihe Henley. " 92 W3ihn 36 Special schemes 36a Shakspere and other classics. In case of Shakspere, if the library has a large collection, it may be well to adopt a simple special scheme using; e. g. X Collected works. y Concordances, dictionaries, grammars, etc. z Books about the author, biografy, criticism, disputed author- ship, etc. This plan may be followd for other classics; e. g. Homer, Dante, etc. or for any author in case the number of books makes a special arrange- ment desirable. The following schemes will guide in assigning book numbers for many books by the same author in the same class. 36b Shakspere scheme. Use S5 followed by lower case initial of plays, arranged alfabeticiy, according to 33a-c. Distinguish two editions of the same play by adding initial of editor or publisher to second edition. In the following scheme, where two or more titles begin with the same letter, two letters are as.signd to each, in order that the addition of another letter to dis- tinguish the edition may not separate books which should stand together; e. g. Rolfe's edition of .4 //'j w^// //»(»/ j"«»/x «'<•// coming in Liter would be raarkt Ssalr which would place it next another edition of the .sjime play; if the first edition receivd had been markt S5 or Ssa the .-nldition of the r for Rolfe would have made the book number Ssr or Ssar and have placed the book after Antony anU Cleopatra. 58 Simplified Library Scliooi Rules Individual works Ssal All's well that ends well Ssmr Ssan Antony and Cleopatra Ssms Ssas As you like it Ssmu S5C0 Comedy of errors S50 Sscr Coriolanus Sspe Sscy Cymbeline Sspo Sshi Hamlet Ssrz Ssh4 Henry 4 S5r3 Sshs " 5 S5r4 Ssh6 6 Ssta Ssh8 8 Sste SSJ Julius Caesar Ssti Sskj King John Sstn Sskl King Lear Sstr S51 Love's labor lost Sstt Ssma Macbeth Sstw Ssme Measure for measure S5W Ssmh Merchant of Venice Merry wives of Windsor Midsummer night's dream Much ado about nothing Othello Pericles Poems, including sonnets Richard 2 Richard 3 Romeo and Juliet Taming of the shrew Tempest Timon of Athens Titus Andronicus Troilus and Cressida Twelfth night Two gentlemen of Verona Winter's tale General works S5X Collected works S5y Concordances, dictionaries, grammar, etc. S5Z Books about Shakspere, biografy, criticism, disputed author- ship, etc. If a more elaborate scheme is desired, add to S5 the numbers from Sliaksperu table given in Library notes, 2:16. 36c James Fenimore Cooper C77 Afloat and ashore C770 Oak openings C77a Autobiography of a pocket- C77P Pathfinder handkerchief C77pi Pilot C77b Bravo C77po Pioneers C77C Chainbearer C77pr Prairie C77cr Crater C77pu Precaution C77d Deerslayer C77r Red rover C77h Headsman C77re Redskins C77he Heidenmauer C77S Satanstoe C77ho Home as found C77se Sea lions C77hw Homeward bound C77SP Spy C77J Jack Tier C77t Two admirals C77I Last of the Mohicans C77W Water-witch C77li Lionel Lincoln C77wa Ways of the hour C77m Mercedes of Castile C77we Wept of Wish-ton- •wish C77mi Miles Wallingford C77wi Wing and wing C77mc ) Monikins C77wy Wyandotte C77n Ned Myers Siniplified Book Numbers 59 36d Sir Walter Scott S43 Abbot S43I 8433 Anne of Geierstein S43m S43an Antiquary S43my S43b Betrothed S430 S43bl Black Dwarf S43P S43br Bride of Lammermoor S43Pi S43C Castle Dangerous S43q S43ch Chronicles of the Canongate S43r S43CO Count Robert of Paris S43ro S43d Death of the Laird's Jock S43S S43f Fair maid of Perth S43SU S43fo Fortunes of Nigel S43t S43g Guy Mannering S43ta S43h Heart of Mid-Lothian S43tw S43I" Highland widow S43W S43i Ivanhoe S43WO S43k Kenilworth Legend of Montrose Monastery My Aunt Margaret's mirror Old Mortality Peveril of the peak Pirate Ouentin Durward Rcdgauntlet Rob Roy St Ronan's well Surgeon's daughter Talisman Tapestried chamber Two drovers Waverley Woodstock 37 Arrangement without use of tables This is recommended only for a small, slowly growing library of less than 1000 volumes, where exact alfabetic order is unimportant. Under each class keep together names beginning with the same letter by marking books by the first author under any letter with the initial of the author's surname (for exceptions see 34C-d, 353) ; books by the second or third author under that letter with the author's initial followd by I, 2, 3, etc. ; e. g. if in class 942, history of England, the first books under G were Green's History of the English peopU, Gardiner's Outline' of English history, and Guizot's History of England, and they were receivd in the order named, the book number of Green's History would be G, Gardiner's 6>K///// binders, each holding about 100 sheets. Only one subject is written on a sheet so that new sheets can be inserted wherever necessary, the numeric order being maintaind and unneces- sary copying avoided. 62 Simplified Library School Rules 40e Cards. Some libraries prefer a card shelf list to one on sheets. New entries can be inserted in their exact place and it is consequently never necessary to rewrite. Great care should be taken that cards are not lost or misplaced. A shelf list on cards is open to the same objection as a card catalog — only one entry can be read at a time, while on the sheets several entries can be read at a glance. The card list is much less safe against removal of entries in case of theft of books and therefore less adapted to an inventory. 41 Shelf list on sheets General Rules 4ia-r are for a shelf list on 10 x 25 cm sheets. For variations necessary for a shelf list on cards see 423-]. 41a Arrangement of entries. Arrange entries as books are arranged on the shelves; first, by class number, treated decimally; second, by book number, arranged, i) alfabeticly by the capital letter, 2) numericly by numbers following the capital, treated decimally. 41b Number of entries. Enter only one subject on a sheet, thus allow- ing for additions, but leave no lines between book entries. In classes where there are many entries, e. g. individual biografy (4iq) it is best to begin each letter on a new sheet, thus avoiding large mixt alfabets and frequent rewriting. 4IC Date. Put in the middle of upper margin of recto of each sheet the date when first entry is made; e. g. 13 Je 94, see sample shelf sheet 1-2. When the sheet is withdrawn add after a dash the date of rewrit- ing; e. g. 13 Je 94-17 Ap 98. 4ld Class number. Write class number in prominent figures on top line of sheet after the word ' Class '. 4ie Book number. Write book number in its column making the figures very clear and distinct. For use of printed form of letters in call numbers see Simplified card catalog rules, 8m. 4if Accession number. Write accession number in its column with dash between inclusive figures; e. g. 3342-7. Give a separate line to all accession numbers not consecutiv; e. g. 2134 v. i 2180 V. 2 In case of sets having many accession numbers not consecutiv, the numbers may be arranged in four columns in order to save space. Sample shelf sheet i. 4lg Volume number. Put number of volumes, if more than one, in volume column; if the library contains part of a set, write; e. g. v. i, or, V. 2-6; write also 2 in i ; 6 in 3 ; v. 9', v. 9^. Sample shelf sheet 1-2. In case of annuals where there is no vohime number, use the year in volume column. On bookplates instead of v.i, v.9', v.o', etc. write i, gj, Oj, etc. 4lh Author. Write author's surname in its column, using no punctua- tion. In case of two joint authors write surname of each; if more than two, write surname of first and '& others.' Sample shelf sheet 1. Simplified Shelf List Rules 63 In fiction anil when necessary to distinguish different authors having same surname, give initials of forenames, using colon abbreviations wlit-re applicable. 411 Title. Write brief title in its column witli no punctuation. If the shelf list is to be used chiefly as a stock-taking book, use binder's title. If used mainly as a subject catalog, use a short or well-known title- taking great care in shortening title that it may be at once clear, and comprehensiv. Use library abbreviations in all entries, see 52. Other obvious contractions may also be used if necessary. Add in curves, in briefest form, the name of series if well-known; e. g. (Am. men of let.) 41J Unalfabeted entries. In adding to a shelf list leave one line vacant after the continuous alfabet and add new entries as they come, with no attempt at alfabeting. .Whenever a new book number is assignd, pencil it in its proper place in the continuous alfabet; otherwise the whole of the mi.xt alfabet must be lookt thru to ascertain whether a given book number has been assignd. Rewrite the sheet and combine into one alfabet when the unalfabeted entries become so numerous as to be inconvenient. 41k Old sheets. When the new shelf sheets have been written, arrange withdrawn shelf sheets in order of class numbers and save for reference. Special cases 41I Second copy. When there is more than one copy of a book, write accession numbers the same as for several volumes (4if) indicating the number of the copy in volume column. If the work has more than one volume, write number of copy in volume column above volume number; e. g. cop. 2 3'45 V. I 41m Edition. In case of two editions of the same book, add date of each, or number or name of edition, or editor's surname after title. Sample shelf sheet i. In the classics add editor's surname. In fiction treat different editions as different copies, unless the edition is considerably alterd or abridged. See Simplified card catalog rules, ^\\. 4in Special location. When necessary to indicate the location of a book in the reference library or other special collection write or stamp in upper right corner of book number column ' R ' or number of room, or other needed designation Sample shelf sheet i. 410 Changed number. If the class number or any part of it is changed after the book is shelflisted, do not erase entry, but draw a red line thru it, and write in red ink in author column the new class and book number, and enter like a new book in its new place, changing the numbers on book, accession book, and on all catalog entries. If book 64 Simplified Library School Rules number alone is changed, draw red line thru it, and write the new number above the old in red ink. Special classes 4ip Serials. In case of periodicals and transactions of societies, etc. still being publisht, put one entry on a sheet and arrange accession numbers in four columns leaving room for missing volumes. Sample shelf sheet 2. Place an index volume, if unnumberd in the regular series, at the beginning of a set, and mark it with volume number o (zero). If more than one, mark them thus, o', 0°, o^ Above the volume write the years or vol- umes coverd by the index; e. g. 1840-50 sheet 2. See also 4ig. ^- o 1 V. I-JO. V. o' Sample shelf 4iq Individual biografy. In individual biografy begin each letter on a new sheet, alfabeting by the name of the biografee. Write the word ' Biografee ' as the heading of the first half of title column and under this arrange the names of the biografees giving the initials of their fore- names. Omit book title unless it is striking. See below. 22 Je Class <)2 Book no. Accession no. Vol. Author Biografee Title G76g G76h G79 4673-4 489 1056 2 Grant Headley Greene, F. V. Grant, V. S. " Hero boy (Gt. commanders) Greene, Gen. N. 4ir Genealogy. If the library contains many genealogies of special families, classify them under 929.2 and arrange by the name of the family. Make the entry for genealogy in the same form as for individ- ual biografy, writing the word ' Family ' as the heading of the first half of title column instead of the word 'Biografee'. Omit book title except when striking. See below. 23 Je g8 Class 929.2 Book no Accession no.

Capitalize first word of every sentence and of every line of poetry. 50b Book titles. Capitalize first word of every title, or alternativ title, of books or periodicals; but not 'laws,' 'acts,' 'statutes,' and similar general terms ; e. g., 'provided in laws of 1S92, ch. 378.' This rule allows capitals for Bible, Scriptures, Book of Mormon, etc. Write also Holy Bible, la Sainte Bible, Holy Scriptures of the Old and New testaments. In quoting book titles omit initial article when not essential to mean- ing, as it hides the leading word, which should stand out clearly to catch the eye, and treat the word following the article as the first word; e. g. History of David Grieve not The history of David Grieve. Write also, for example, the Times, the Nation. See also Simplified card catalog rules, 4a, c. 5CC Proper names. Capitalize names of persons, places, and distinctiv but not generic parts of names of political divisions, geografic features (rivers, lakes, mountains, etc.) streets, churches, institutions, organiza- tions, railways, banks, hotels, theaters, halls, business blocks, etc. unless the generic precedes the distinctiv name, or is so far a misnomer as to become distinctiv; e. g. Donaldson's Neiv Cratylus, Hudson river, Seneca lake, Plymouth church. Harvard university. Skull and Bones society, Park av. , Park avenue hotels (hotels in Park av.) but Park Avenue hotel (distinguishing name of a particular hotel) Hotel Vendome, Lake Michi- gan, Bracebridge Hall. 50d Proper adjectivs. Capitalize such adjectivs from names of persons or places as reputable usage does not justify in lower case ; e. g. American, Italian, but galvanic, boycotted, quixotic, Indian (aboriginal American) arable (in ' arable figures, ' 'gum arabic') etc. Adjectivs, common nouns, etc, derived from names of persons and places and at first capitalized are constantly losing this distinction as they come into more common use and their origin is forgotten. 50e I and O. Capitalize pronoun I and interjection O. 50f Months, days, etc. Capitalize months, days of week and distinctiv but not generic parts of names of holidays, feast and fast days; e. g. Thanksgiving day, Lincoln's birthday. Punctuation 69 50g Epithets. Capitalize epithets: a Standing as substitntes for proper names; e. g. tlie Pretender, the Union, the Empire state; b Used as affixes to names of persons, e. g. Richard the Lion- hearted, Louis le Grand, Friedrich der Grosse. 50h Titles. Capitalize titles immediately prefixt to names of persons or in direct address, e. g. Chancellor Curtis, but chancellor of the University; Secretary OIney, but secretary of state, Mr President, your Honor. But do not capitalize if separated from name by preposition; c. g. earl of Derby, but Earl Spencer; bishop of Albany, but Bishop Uoane. Also do not capitalize designations not generally used as titles in direct address; e. g. librarian Smith, instructor Brown, roundsman Rowe. See also 5 3h. 50i Names of Deity. Capitalize names and titles of the Deity, of Jesus Christ, of the Trinity and of the Virgin Mary, and pronouns referring to God or Christ when used in direct address or whenever the meaning might otherwise be mistaken ; e. g. Creator, Almighty, Messiah, Savior, Holy Virgin, In His name. 50J Abbreviations. Do not capitalize abbreviations for which reputable usage justifies lower case; e. g. write a.m., p.m., no. 50k Government departments, etc. Do not capitalize government and state departments, legislative bodies, courts, political parties, committees, conventions, conferences, political districts, and public or commercial boards; e. g. U. S. bureau of education, Pennsylvania legislature, bill pending in congress, rules of the court of appeals. 50I Events, etc. Do not capitalize historical events, epochs, documents; e. g. reformation, renaissance, bill of rights, declaration of independence. 50m Race. Do not capitalize gypsy, negro, quadroon, creole, indian meaning an American aborigine; but capitalize Indian meaning a native of India. 51 Punctuation There is still much uncertainty and arbitrariness in punctuation, but its chief ofiice is now generally understood to be that of facilitating a clear comprehension of the sense. Close punctuation, characterized especially by the use of many commas, was common in English in the iSth century and is the rule in present French usage; but of>fn punctuation, characterireil !>>• the avoidance of all pointing not clearly required by the construction, now prevails in the best English usage. In soTie cases, as in certain legal papers, title-pages, etc. punctuation is wholly omitted. — Century dictionary 51a Open punctuation. Follow general rules for punctuation in con- formity with the principles of open punctuation. Note particularly the following specified cases. 70 Simplified Library School Rules 51b Title-pages. Punctuation on title-pages must sometimes be changed on account of omissions, or to reduce the title to a single sentence, while omitted punctuation necessary to clearness must be supplied. See Cutter, Rules^ § 207-10. 51C Redundancy. Avoid as far as practicable doubling punctuation marks; i. e. comma and dash, comma and curves, period and comma. 5td Omission of period. Omit period: 1 After Mr, Mrs, Dr, St (meaning Saint; but st. street), Mt, jr, sr, pro tern, viz, vs. 2 After abbreviations in which an apostrofe indicates omitted letters; e. g. sup't, dep't, not sup't., dep't. 3 After marginal references and paragraf numbers. 4 After letters which are used as names but are not abbreviations ; e. g. Company A marcht thru K st. ; poionaise in A major ; the L of a building. 5 After nicknames; e. g. Fred Smith. But distinguish carefully between abbreviations and nicknames; e. g. as an abbreviation for Frederic, write Fred. Smith. 5ie Use of period. Use a period before a decimal fraction and between figures denoting hours and minutes; e. g. 86.3, 10.15 P- ^i. 5lf Comma. Distinguish carefully between explanatory or descriptiv, and restrictiv relativ clauses. An explanatory relativ clause must be set off by commas; but a restrictiv clause forming an essential part of its antecedent should not be so separated unless the relativ pronoun refers to each of a series of nouns; e. g. (Explanatory) Sailors, who are gener- ally superstitious, say it is unlucky to embark on Friday. (Restrictiv) The books which help you most are those which make you think most. Point off numbers of six or more figures with commas, but omit commas in numbers of five figures or less. When several words are dittoed, use inverted commas under each distinct group of words, not under each word ; e. g. List of 43 volumes on U. S. history " 20 " " 25 " economics not List of 43 volumes on U. S. history 11 11 2Q 11 11 11 11 " " 25 " " economics 5Ig Apostrofe. Omit apostrofe in plural possessivs of much-used terms when the modifying noun can properly be regarded as an adiectiv; e. g. public libraries act, regents office, regents credentials, etc. Form the possessiv singular of nouns ending in s, x, or z by adding the apostrofe alone, not 's; e. g. Jones' Grammar of ornament, not Jones s. 5lh Dash. A dash is sufficient by itself. Do not use with it a comma or other point, except when it follows an abbreviation or a complete sentence. Library Abbreviations 7x 511 Curves. I'sc curves to inclose closely connected but unessential matter; i. e. explanatory phrases, translations, definitions. 52 Library abbreviations On catalog cards use only the abbreviations in 52a, c-h. On other otficial records, in addition to abbreviations in 52, those given in standard dictionaries may be used, preferring the shortest form con- sistent with clearness. Do not add s or double a symbol for plural of abbreviations (except mss for manuscripts) ; e. g. use p. for page or pages, pt. for part or parts. 52a Colon abbreviations compiled by C: A. Cutter. Use the following abbreviations when only initials would otherwise be used: A.. Anna L.. Louisa A: Augustus M: Mark B.. Beatrice M.. Mary B: Benjamin N.. Nancy C: Charles N: Nicholas C. Charlotte 0.. Olivia D: David O: Otto D.. Delia P.. Pauline E: Edward P: Peter E.. Elizabeth,. Elisabeth R.. Rebecca F.. Fanny, Fannie R: Richard F: Frederick, Frederic S: Samuel G: George S.. Sarah G.. Grace T..

Zenobia 52b Other name abbreviations. Where great compactness is desired the following name abbreviations may be used in official records not intended for the public. Semicolons ; and ., are used after the single initial (sja) to indicate the German forms corresponding to the colon abbreviations; e. g. J: 72 Simplified' Library School Rules John, J ; Johann. Inverted semicolons are used in the same way for the corresponding French form; e. g. J! Jean, J,. Jeanne. Ab. Abraham Alex, Alexander, Alexandre Alf. Alfred And. Andrew, Andreas, Andr^ Ant.

Handbook ii of the Uni- versity of the State of New York, i8g8, revized from Library notes, March 1SS7, i: 273-82. 60 Requirements 60a Legibility, speed. Nothing pays better for the time it costs the candidate for a library position than to be able to write a satisfactory library hand. In this, legibility is the main consideration. The catalog hand can not be written as fast as a running business hand, but skilful writers acquire reasonable speed without sacrificing legibility. The time of the writer is, however, of small importance compared with that of the reader. 60b Uniformity. Uniformity is vital to a neat appearance, and has much to do with legibility. Tho every letter is perfectly formd, unless it is uniform with the other letters, the effect is like print in which perfect letters from different fonts are used in the same word. Uniformity is essential among the various catalogers in the same library, as well as in individual practise. A style should be carefully adopted by a library and all assistants required to follow it. 61 Materials 6ia Ink. Use only standard library ink and let it dry without blotting. Ink should flow freely and neither corrode the pen nor mold ; it should be permanent and of a uniform color. The New York state library uses Carter's record ink, Stafford's blue writing ink and carmine ink and finds them very satisfactory. Carter's record ink is the standard adopted by Massachusetts for all its recording offices. 6lb Inkstands. Good work demands that ink be protected from dust and too free evaporation. The best stand is the ' Perfect ' which is of costly construction A good cheap substitute is a bottle with a ground glass stopper and £. throat only large enough to allow the pen to reach the ink. The essential requirement is a reservoir of ink shut away from dust, light and air, and feeding easily into a tiny dipping cup for immedi- ate use. 61C Pens. The best work has usually been done with steel pens, but gold fountain pens with short stiff nibs are now made that give equally good results and the fountain is of the greatest practical value. Cata- logers uniformly find L. E. Waterman's Ideal fountain pens most satis- factory. Heath's Volpenna B makes a uniform line and wears well. King's no. 5, no. 9 or some equivalent stub pen gives a heavier, blacker line. Library Handwriting: 79 Trial will prove which suits the hand best. Fine pens" arc to be avoided as the lines are trying to weak eyes and on dark days. The ideal library hand should have a clear, strong line which gives maximum legibility. 6ld Penholders. Too small holders are apt to cramp the hand in long continued writing. Large hard rubb-r, wood or cork holders are best. Avoid holders with metal next the fingers 6ie Erasers. A good steel eraser kept sharp is essential. Do not remove more of the surface of the paper than necessary. Before attempt- ing to rewrite, rub the erased surface carefully with an ivory paper cutter or some other hard, rounded, polisht surface. Have a good rubber ink eraser and a brush for removing the crumbs without soiling the paper by brushing off with moist fingers. Circular or obliquely cut bar erasers are best as their sharp edge admits applica- tion to a smaller portion of the paper. The ability to erase ink and rewrite on the same surface without leaving a noticeable scar is the best test of the neatness and mechanical skill of a good cataloger. 62 Alfabets Joind and disjoind hands. Extended experiments indicate that the ideal hand for catalofi;ing is the disjoind. Most persons acquire it more quickly than the connected form and after practise can write it almost as fas', while the result being much more like print is more legible. In fact it is often calld the printing hand. For shelf list, accession books and other official records however, the joind hand may be used, if it can be written much faster. When speed is compared, the printing hand is usually a novelty and the joind the habit of a life time; if con- stantly used the printing hand is usually found about equal in speed when it has become equally familiar. Librarians should be able to write both hands. Specimens of both alfabets are given 011 p. Si-82. 63 Brief rules Joind hand Rules 63a-i are for joind hand. Variations for disjoind hand are given in 63J. 63a Position. Sit squarely at the desk and as nearly erect as possible. 63b Form. Follow the library hand forms of all letters, avoiding any ornament, flourish or lines not essential to the letter. 63c Size. Small letters, taking m as the unit, are one space or 1 milli- meters high; i. e. one-third the distance between the rulings of the standard catalog card. Capitals and extended letters are two spaces high above the base line or run one space below; p, t, &, and ligures are one and one half spaces high. So Simplified Library School Rules 63d Slant. Make letters upright with as little slant as possible, and uniformly the same, preferring a trifle backward rather than forward slant. 636 Spacing. Separate words by space of one m and sentences by two m's. Leave uniform space between letters of a word. Each word should be a unit, and form to the eye a distinct word picture. 63f Shading. Make a uniform black line with no shading. Avoid hair line strokes. 63g Uniformity. Take great pains to have all writing uniform in size, slant, spacing, blackness of lines and forms of letters. 63h Special letters. Dot i and cross t accurately to avoid confusion ; e. g. Giulio carelessly dotted has been arranged under Guilio in the catalog. Dot i and j one and one half spaces from line. In foreign languages special care is es>ential. Avoid slanting r and s differently from other letters. They should be a trifle over oae space in hight. 631 Figures. Make the upper part of 3 and 8 a trifle smaller than the lower part. 8 is best made by beginning in the middle. Disjoind hand In disjoind hand use the following variations from the rules for the joind hand. 63J Special letters. Avoid all unnecessar)' curves. The principal down strokes in b, d, f, h, i, j, k, 1, m, n, p, q, r, t, u and the first line in e should be straight. Make g and O in one stroke moving from left to right like the hands of a watch. Begin on the line. Take special pains with r, as, carelessly made, it is easily mistaken for V or y. Make r and s one space high Make the upper part of B, R, S a trifle smaller than the lower part. Make first and last strokes in M and N vertical, connecting lines oblique. All strokes in W are oblique.
