The state board of educational exam
iners will have meeting next Monday,
May 81. for the purpose of completing
the details Of the administration of the
school library law. State Superintend-
,ent Barrett has been studying the sub
iectsvery thoroughly in the light OF the
experience Of other states and has pre-
pared rules and regulations for the
government of school boards under the
new law. The principal question that
the state board is What sort
of list to present from which district
boards are to make their selections OF
books. A small list. has been advised
ltby many Of the friends of the law. be-
cause it would be more simple and the
school boards in districts starting new
1 libraries would be less apt to go astray
| and would be more certain to get books
jiadapted to- their needs. On the ether
hand, so many districts already have II
! braries that small list would practi-
TcallS prohibit them from adding to
I their libraries. The state superintend-
tents report shows that $4,000 was
/ spent by school districts in Iowa for
\ books during the past year. During
the previous year the expenditure for
4 this purpose was $4,000. Several years
ago n small list of 900 hooks was pre-
L pared by State superintendent Sabln.
4 1t was an ideal list. Many school dis
ltricts already have nearly every volume
Ion this list. and if they We're restricted
