Excerpt from Papers and Proceedings of the Twenty-Seventh General Meeting of the American Library Association: Held at Portland, Ore., July 4-7, 1905 The smaller your town the larger the au dicace, relatively, that you will get. You have prepared for absences of speakers, you have arranged for some to speak on call on the subject that you select, you leave nothing to spontaneous, unconsidered utterance for though you hope there may be free discussion you do not depend on it for any points you wish to make. You prepare the report for the paper yourself. If the nearest available one is small and can only print a brief report, you abstract the speeches, enlarge on the purpose of the movement, and name the names of those most interested.

The cost of arrangement and editing would be out of all proportion to the increase of titles. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Papers and Proceedings of the Twenty-Sixth General Meeting of the American Library Association: Held at St. Louis, Mo., October 17-22, 1904 But 15 it worth while to consider a uni versity without a library? Can there be such an institution? In higher education, then, the library is a necessity. In elementary and secondary edu cation it is no less essential, if the most is to be made of the few years that the average child spends in school and if he is to be started on a path of self-culture. On this point Stanley Jevons says. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Papers and Proceedings of the Twenty-Third General Meeting of the American Library Association: Held at Waukesha, Wisconsin, July 4-10, 1901 Turning now to another side of our subject; and considering the relation of the individual librarians rather than of the profession as a class, a few words upon personal actions may not be out of place. A librarian's position is usually of a public or semi-public nature; ability for its duties is implied; and the com pensation received is for present services as a rule, rather than as a reward of merit. In order that the library shall perform all that is expected of it, not only in being to some ex tent an ever-running machine but equally in respect to its recognized higher functions, there must be the application of watchful care, constant attention, foresight, and un remitting work. The direction of all of which, and perhaps much of its actual execution, must depend upon the person placed in charge of the institution as its librarian. It is true that, having a well trained body of assistants, a library may be able to run on for a time in the prolonged absence oi, or when lacking, a chief because impetus and the effects of past direction are not lost at once, provided that no demoralization has taken place. But it is not a safe policy to allow a library, or other working institution that de pends largely upon the work of trained em ployees for its effectiveness, to so long at a time without the presence and oversight of an actual and capable head.

Excerpt from Papers and Proceedings of the Twenty-Fourth General Meeting of the American Library Association: Held at Boston and Magnolia, Mass., June 14-20, 1902 Before going further I would like to have understood clearly the force of the term co extensive as just applied to the university library. Of course I do not mean that it is the university, nor that it does. Or can do, the work of the university, nor that it is greater than the university, nor that it is equal to the university. But I do mean that it is an integral part of the university, without which the university cannot exist; that it is as long and as broad though not as deep as the uni versity, and that the university contains no other department save itself which has these attributes. Then t/ze government of the university library reproduces in miniature the main feat ures of Me government of Me university itself. This statement may be taken as a basic princi ple. Upon it is built the structure I submit. The library has an external and an internal administration and each of these has a breadth corresponding to its proper functions.
