Mississippi
Private, federal, and state organiza-
tions for the dissemination of useful
information" cover SO wide a field Of
subject matter that reference material
in the form of bulletins and circulars
on many subjects of current discus
sion is easily available upon request,
fee of charge, or at nominal cost
ranging from 5 cents to Is cents for
each bulletin.
So widespread has been the stimuli
taaeous interest in question of public
concern, that there is unnecessary
duplication of printed matter. At the
same time the availability of much
disable material is unknown to large
numbers of persons who could use it
to advantage. The Importance of
giving publicity to what is already in
print, at certain stages in the progress
of discussion equals the value of Civ
ing out more Information fresh with
printers ink.
This directory to sources of avail
able reference material by no means
exhaustive, is designed to be of gen.
eral assistance to those schools or
persons who feel the need of accumul-
ating package libraries on many sub
jects or of direct assistance to those
who need definite information on
some specific subject.
Much of the material is made avail
able by the Government of the United
States. "The Government has a
wealth of material, mine of informa-
ton, which should be brought to the
attention of the American publicT"
State organizations, financed through
Legislative enactment, with or without
Federal cooperation, furnish valu-
able material as results Of their re-
search and experience. Private agen-
cies, also, have given to the public at
small cost much of value Voluntary
organizations of men and women in
terested in civic and economic ques-
tons are in position to keep in touch
with developments in directions in
which each is concerned and to give
out information within the scope of
their interest.
