In compliance with the act this com- pilation has been prepared by Miss Mabel C. True. The books included are suitable for high schools, though not obligatory. This list supplements the Preferred List of Books for District Schools. It has seemed best to repeat a few of the titles found in the former list. Basis of Selection. In selecting these books three things have been taken into consideration: the contents of the book and its suitability; the literary- value of the treatment; and the mechanical make-up of the book. This last point has influenced in the choice of editions. Prices. The prices are strictly net that being the discount price for which the book may be bought. If possible purchases shoukl be made from local dealers. If they cannot meet the prices the following booksellers have agreed to furnish them at the prices quoted in the catalogue: Macauley Brothers Detroit J. V. Sheehan Co Detroit George Wahr Ann Arbor The prices do not, however, include shipping charges which are paid by the purchaser from the point from which the books are purchased. Parcel Post. Packages of books weighing not more than twenty pounds may be sent through the mail; full information on this subject may be obtained from the postmaster. Supplies for a Library. The Library Bureau publishes a catalog entitled Card Catalog and Administrative Outfits for Small Libraries. This presents suggestive lists at outfit prices considerably lower than the individual prices of the several articles. Address Library Bureau, Detroit, Mich., for a catalog. Special List of Books. At the end of the general list of books, there is a list of references helpful to those interested in the present war crisis. It has been reprinted through the kindness of the Review of Reviews Co. MARY C. SPENCER, State Librarian. FRED L. KEELER, Supt. of Public Instruction. BOOKS FOR REFERENCE AND TEACHERS' LIBRARIES The teacher may secure many public documents for the asking. These include national, state and city publications and often help out the work in geography, history, geology, natural history, physics, chemistry, biology and education. U. S. Goverment documents in small libraries, by Wyer, published by the A. L. A. for lOc will be of great value in selecting them. The Encyclopedia Brittanica, the New international encyclopedia and the Century dictionary and encyclopedia have not been included on account of cost. A new edition of the International is announced for 1915 and the llth ed. of the Brittanica was published in 1911. Further information will be furnished upon request to the State library.

PERIODICALS H9 SELECTED LIST OF PERIODICALS Price American magazine, (monthly) N. Y $1 . 50 Contains timely articles on subjects of current interest and men of the hour. Has good short stories and usually one serial. Atlantic monthly, (monthly) Boston 4 . 00 Very excellent literary magazine, not illustrated and not popular in makeup. Bird-lore, (bi-monthly) N. Y 1 .00 The official organ of the Audubon societies. Devoted to the study and protection of birds. Well illustrated. Current events, (weekly) Springfield, Mass .40 A periodical for high school students, giving a weekly resume of the current events. One of the best little magazines of its kind. Everybody's magazine, (monthly) N. Y 1 . 50 One of the most popular of the cheap magazines. Contains articles on the present day problems, drama and fiction. - * Garden magazine, (monthly) N. Y. 1 . 50 Contains suggestions for house building and decoration as well as articles on gardens and gardening. Good housekeeping, (monthly) Springfield, Mass 1 . 50 Of interest and value to housewives. Contains practical sugges- tions and household recipes. Devotes considerable space to cooking and serving food. Harper's monthly magazine. N. Y 4 . 00 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 com- mon 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, (weekly) N. Y. 5.00 Independent magazine, which discusses topics of current interest, political, sociological, scientific and literary. Ladies home journal, (monthly) N. Y 1 . 50 The most popular magazine for women in the field. Besides serials and short stories, often sentimental and trivial but always wholesome, contains brief articles on subjects of current interest, biographical and literary sketches, and regularly maintains de- partments devoted to fashions, fancy needlework, house furnishing and decoration, the preparation and serving of food, the care of children and the sick, and manners and morals usually in the form of confidential letters to young men and women. Illustra- tions are not particularly valuable except those of fashions. MACDONALD. Literary digest, (weekly) N. Y 3.00 Digests articles from American and foreign magazines and news- papers which give a composite of public opinion. Also covers 120 LIST OF BOOKS FOR TOWNSHIP LIBRARIES Price topics of interest in science and invention, the religious world, letters and art, miscellaneous.

National geographic magazine, (monthly) Washington 2 . 50 Contains well written and readable articles on travel and explora- tion all over the world. Admirably illustrated. As it is published by the National geographic society it is reliable and scientific in information. VOUGHT. Outing, (monthly) N. Y ! 3.00 Well illustrated periodical of outdoor life. Outlook, (weekly) N. Y. . . . . , 3.00 One of the best known weeklies dealing with current events. Still maintains a distinctly religious tone though it is practically 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 "magazine 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 impartial discussions. Shares with the In- dependent the distinction of being one of the most timely reference aids on current questions. Popular electricity and modern mechanics, (monthly) Chicago . . 1 . 50 Popular magazine and widely read by men and boys.

Contains articles on a broad range of subjects, also short stories and serials. There are so few magazines for young people that a good, wholesome paper like this should not be overlooked.
