 which would furnish books to rural communities and villages too small to support libraries. There would be no charge for these libraries except transportation. Literature bearing upon state questions would be col lected to form legislative reference collection for the use of the legisla- ture state officials and any investiga- tor who wishes information upon the laws and customs of other states. The commission would offer to collect and loan material bearing upon any public question of interest to Arizona citizens. Collections of books, clip pings. and pamphlets would be loaned to debating societies. A commission could do wonderful things for the de- velopment of public libraries in the state and with it's help and supervision these new libraries would be organized according to modern methods. The commission would aid in organizing old libraries. 1t would visit the small libraries and give advice and instruc- tion. When the state library comms- sion was started in Oregon in 1905 there had been practically no library development outside of Portland, now there is scarcely d town in the state nit ftu r.raNIfr nd I.a been through the commission that the work has been accomplished. Special study libraries, with outlines for study would be made up and loaned to clubs and classes And perhaps some of the most valuable work of the commis- sion would be for schools. There would be a special collection of books on education for the use of teachers package libraries could be supplied fol debates. themes and commencement

 good library service they will have it. Some day there must be strong pub lie library with branches and deposit stations doing work along all the lines outlined libraries in every grade school in the city and a splendid high school library.
 -ln reply tO a letter I wrote to the secretary of the American Library As sociation recently I received this re- ply touching Phoenix: Now in re- gard to what Phoenix ought to do in a library way. I note that the popula- tion in 1910 was II 900 and so ! sup pose. judging from the way that other western towns have grown, the pres ent pOpclation may be between fif- teen and twenty thousand. A town which does not provide B cents per capita for it's library is not doing it's duty. Sc I should judge that Phoenix ought to provide 5000 as minimum. This. of course. means the amount from taxation. Fifty or sixty cents per capita would be far more in line with what other towns are doing. Some cities in fact are furnishing over dollar per capita for their libraries
 Arizona has d weak place in it's educational scheme. IL has provided no central library to which any citizen of the state may write for information of any kind or from which he may bor- row books. We have come to think more and more of how education may be so popularized that it can be brought within the reach of every in- dividual in the state. In this educa- uonal campaign it has been felt that rural communities and small villages should be able to have the use of good books for study and recreation and should have a central bureau of in. formation to which they may write fol help. The function of the state in Ii. brary extension work is generally recognized as shown by the fact thai this work is being carried on now b, all but ten of the states This worl IS generally carried on by state Ii. brary commission. If Arizona would appropriate sl0O00 for a library com mission and put the right person q the head of it I believe the commission could accomplish more in an educa tonal way for the state than could bt accomplished in any other possibl, way and more people could be reached by its work than can be reached bl any other institution in the state.
 This is some of the extension worl we could accomplish through d stat, library commission A state lendinl library would be maintained in Phoe nix from which books would be loaned to any responsible person in the state
