Report on Library Conditions h
Schools.
CT. w. Taylor)

(J. w. Taylor)
The library has a highly important
place in the school. For the elemen.
tary school it must satisfy the cray.
ings of the child mind for hero-wor-
ship, adventure and fancy flights. For
the high school it is a work shop,
laboratory. a recreation center. IL
brary of a hundred or more we'll chos-
en- books with provision for regular in
crease is as important to the rural
school as the textbooks themselves.
High school education is incomplete
unless every boy and girl is made alive
to the resources at their command In
the libraries.
] have been asked to report for the
State on the school libraries There
are very few elementary schools out
side few large centers which have
Libraries adequate to their needs. How
ever. considerable number have
made beginnings through the school
improvement and other organized ef-
fort. The State superintendent has
issued brief list of books for rural
school libraries. This list is sufficient
to serve as a nucleus. There has been
a considerable call for these lists and
it is probable that they have been
used quite extensively.
In connection with the inspection Of
high schools attention has been given
to the library. An examination of our
records show that 40 high schools have
libraries which may be regarded as
adequate to their present needs. Twen-
ty-f1ve more have made fair begin
nings. There remain 1873 high schools
which have no library worthy name
The libraries for the high schools are
fairly we'll selected. They show. how
ever, the lack of trained supervision
in matters of purchase. Only few
schools have special supervision for
the library. In several cases teachers
give considerable time to this work and
are able to assist greatly in library
development.
Between the State Library and the
Department Of Education there exist
most cordial relations. The travelline
libraries for high schools are beine
prepared through joint effort. Fac

the library problems of the schools.
