OF the main library in Boston, was told
that the library cooperates with tho other
social organizations Of the district in evsrv
possible way. The following instance viii
illustrate my point, though it ia less var1
now than before the war shut of the great
tide of European immigration: It has been
the custom OF one Hebrew organization in
the district to provide the librarian Of this
branch regularly with the name Of every
new immigrant from Europe who has CONS
to reside in the district. Every informal
effort was then made TO inform this resi-
dent, who rarely could speak English, that
there was q national library IN his own
language entirely at his disposal, and that
it wished TO cooperate with him in every
possible way TO make him acquainted with
his new environment and to assist his me-
terial success. IN this manner, the library
has been able to come into personal rela-
lions with practically every immigrant 3
few days after ne has landed, to counsel
him wisely, and to integrate him into tho
social life Of his neighborhood. This pre-
vents him from making wrong start,
while, on the other hand, no attentions are
impressed upon him in such a way as to
make them unwelcome to him. The library
staff feels that it has more to learn than to
teach and is keenly aware Of the vulgarity
Of condescenson.

staff to that it's use is not abused
had welcome opportunity to visit the
stacks Of the central building, and was COM
PEELED to admire their wise arrangement
with regard to quick service, lighting and
accurate book arrangement.
When the building in Forty-second Street
was first planned the New York Public Lii
brary was able to take advantage of the
lessons learned by other architects mis-
takes. It was decided to place the main
reading room on the top floor, on the as
sumption that the reader who was in ear
nest would be willing to go as far as pos
sible from the street, and in the hope, which
has been borne out admirably by events,
that the mere idler and foot warmer, who
crowds out serious readers in most Libraries,
would be discouraged before he got there
For the same reason much smaller appro-
prlation is awarded annually for the pur-
chase of newspapers, as experience has
shown that the newspaper room of a large
library tends to degenerate into trarnps'
shelter. Furthermore, the newspaper room
has been thoughtfully placed on the ground
floor.

IN giving what is often service prompted by
an unreasonable demand
was afforded an opportunity to examine
large number of call slips, the books Of
which had been delivered, and found that
the average time of delivery was from
eleven to sixteen minutes. An admirable
innovation of the New York Library is the
use Of time clocks, which stamp on each slip
the exact moment when it is filed and tho
exact moment when the book is ready for
delivery to the reader.
AS the books in the reference collection
of the New York Public Library do not,
under any circumstances, circulate outside
the building, the chances of delivery to
the reader are very much greater than in
most large libraries serving great metro
politan population. Before book is re-
ported to n reader as absolutely not avail
able very good reason must be given to
the officer in charge by those who have
searched for it. If the book is definitely
and apparently irremediably missing, which
does not happen often, the fact is noted,
and after a brief period Of precautionary
waiting its catalogue card is removed
Mention should be made Of the facilities
for reserving books afforded to students.
Any reader may have reserved for him
from day to day reasonable number Of
books necessary for continuous study, sub
ject to the needs and convenience of other
readers. Such books are held in the main
reading room, and if called for by other
readers in the absence of the student re-
serving them, are issued to those readers
on the understanding that they be returned
to the desk when the original reservation
slips are put in them again. This is in
pleasant contrast to the system at the Bos-
ton Public Library, where such books, IL
called for by another reader, are lost to
the original reader.
OF the photostat service I have already
spoken. SO far I know, this service Is
unique in American Libraries. Its prompt
ness and scientific accuracy are noteworthy,
and the fact that the service is being used
widely and is indispensable is attested by
the many orders which come to the library
from all over the country by letter and tele-
gram. 1t is fair restriction which provides
that the library will not undertake ordinary
commercial work. Fhe photographs arc

THE Electric Carrier
L. System

The stacks which occupy the main por-
ton Of the central library building are ar
ranged in tiers directly under the main
reading room, and brightly illuminated by
natural light. system of electric book
carriers descends from the central desk In
the main reading room to each stack, and
books are directly loaded and unloaded from,
dumbWalters running to and fro between
the main reading room and each stack.
Each stack is in charge Of separate SUPER
lntendent, assisted by a corps Of ladies'. who
procure the books directly from the shelves
and transfer them to the appropriate cleo
URIC carrier. One of the most veyatious
features of the Boston Public Library and
many other libraries is the distance from
the stacks to the main reading room and the
excessive number of hands necessary IN
handle the complicated machinery required
to find a book and deliver it to the reader.
These complications are reduced to mini
mum in the New York Public Iibrarv
through the excellence of its administrative
system In each stack there is a special
shelf list showing the arrangement of books
on this shelf, and this is an added pre
caution against the misplacing of books.

u enehts of Scientific
~ Arrangement

before entering the general reading
room, where all these treasures are placed
immediately at the readers disposal, one
enters the spacious catalogue room, and,
If he is Bostonian, is at once amazed at
the service which is placed at his disposal.
Not only does he find complete card
catalogue under one alphabet of the New
York Public Library's reference collection.
but on the opposite wall he discovers an
equally complete catalogue of the resources
of the Library of Congress. This catalogue
has photographed Importance greater
than at first appears. When it is remem-
bered that as a condition of American
copyright, one copy of each book published
IN this country must be deposited in the
Library of Congress, the tremendous bibli
ographical value Of this catalogue will be
at once perceived
But to return to the catalogue of your
own Public Library. A Bostonian at once
recognizes several startling features in
which your catalogue is superior Not only
does 1t contain complete record by author
and title of every book in the library. but
II indexes by subject under the same alpha-
bet every magazine article in the library's
vast files, and this magazine index is SO
recent that it Includes last months peri
odlcais. Moreover, the special subject divi-
slons are extensively catalogued and
grouped much more fully under main divi-
slons than in our Boston Library For ex-
ample, the reader who wishes to know tn.
precise resources Of the New York Public
Library in French fiction, Spanish poetry or
Gaelic folk lore will find all the individual
works on these subjects separately grouped
as unit of the main catalogue. The ad-
vantage of this thoughtfulness to the reader
who is not already an expert in the SUBJ
ject which he is looking up will be at once
apparent The scholar may also discover
at once by quickly running over the cards
what special resources the New York
Public Library has to offer which his own
library in Boston, Chicago or Brooklyn
does not offer him.
Having selected the books which he needs,
he writes out on call slips furnished to
him the shelf mark, author and title of the
book, and signs the slip with his name
and address. If the library has several edi-
tions Of the book and he has special
preference for one of them he may indi-
cate this fact on the slip.
When he has filled out the slips, he takes
them to a desk in the same room, where
they carefully examined by the at
tendant in charge, who is specially trained
for this purpose, and if there are any OBJ
vlous errors on slip they are pointed out
to him for correction. Such forethought as
this in the Boston Public Library would
save much time and friction not only to
the reader, but to the library staff
If no obvious errors appear on the call
slips, they are filed and sent at once by
pneumatic tube to the correct book stack,
and the reader is given a card with num-
Der on it. Half of these cards have even
numbers, and half have odd numbers These
numbers bear no relation to seat numbers

~ Of Library Merits

mere are many more points which !
should like to take up, but as q pilgrim
from Boston | must not begin TO preach.
and I think the best thing I can do in
closing is to summarize briefly some Of the
many advantages which New York enjoys
over other cities Tin this respect, and par
elcularly over Boston. Your library has
no amateur reading committee of unculti-
waited ladies who serve without paw for the
privilege of seeing the new books q fort
night before you do you have reference
collection on open shelves in your main
reading room beside which the Bates Hall
collection in the Boston Public Library is
MEDIEVAL; you have access to a much
larger collection Of current periodicals:
you may the important new books i'm
mediately, and have them delivered to you
IN half the time taken by other Libraries:
you have good ventilation, restful lights
and scholarly atmosphere; your books
are seldom reported as not available for
use; you have q much larger purchasing
fund for new books than most libraries;
you have expert advisers to guide you and
no censorship to hinder your intellectual
development, and thu spirit of service is
strong IN the staff which administers to
your wants. Your library represents the
best standards of the American Library AS
ISOLATION, to which the rank and hle Of
the staff in Boston Public Library ss
actively hostile; you have no highly de-
veloped library union to commercialize the
standards OF your service, and to trail
them in the mud of city politics; and, best
OF all, the director of your library is as
sumed by his trustees to be a competent
executive with freedom TO act as he thinks
best and TO develop the utmost potential
ties Of library service. Such as it is to
day, the administration of the New YORK
Public Library is the norm of excellence
for the United States. if not for the world
That is. proud distinction which Bos-
tonian can only envy and seek to emulsbs
by comparison which is surely not in-
vidious.

special fields watch this collection from
day to day and are quick to add to it the
latest contributions to knowledge in every
branch of human activity. 1t is in refresh
ing contrast to the reference collection in
the Boston Public Library, which was Sc
lected more than twenty-five years ago and
is now largely obsolete
But there are also many special libraries
in the building freely open to the public,
and in these, Mr.. Anderson pointed out
to me, it has been "a point of honor TO see
that the librarians in charge have at least
the same standing in their particular fields

slty as Columbia or Harvard. | know OF no
other library in the United States of which

dition of the British Museum, whose de-

Did space permit | should like TO enlarge
on the unique special collections Of the
New York Public Library, but I must con-
tent myself with calling attention to the
fact that in the central building the
scholar will find the largest and richest
collection of Americana in the world

But he decided that the adventure would
not end here. He wanted to. know why
such wonderful things should happen to
him, and he decided to stay over in New
York two days longer to find out. And he
found strangely enough the library was
still glad to help him. He saw everything
but the boiler plant, and he compared it
with Boston. AS q result he has almost
decided to move to New York
Before going further l wish to express
my gratitude to Mr. Anderson, the director;
Mr.. Gutenberg, chief of the reference de-
partment; Mr. Harper, acting chief OF the
Abranch library department and the circula-
3tion department, and to Mr.. McComb, chief
Of the reference reading room, for their

made at cost, and by means OF it many Of
the lbrary's treasures are rendered access
sible to libraries and scholars at great dis
lance from New York, with a great saving
Of travelling expenses and laborious re-
search
AS the library is one of the largest book
buyers in the world, its method of selecting
books should prove of interest. Contrary to
the practice Of the Boston Public Library,
all books are selected by noted experts in
their field. The purchase of books pub
ished in America is not limited to one book
seller or jobber, but distributed equally
throughout the New York book trade The
library has an arrangement with the chief
booksellers by which one copy Of every book
published in America, when procurable
through ordinary channels, is automatically
submitted to the library for approval on tho
date Of publication. These books are in,
stantly classified by subject and allotted to
experts in the library service for quick de-
cision. Such decisions are usually made
within couple Of days and are final.
