SiDONIE MATSNER GRUENBERG Chairman Mrs. Emanuel Pilpel Mrs. S. S. GwtWaler Mrs. A. B. Goodldnd Price Forty Five Cents FEDERATION FOR CHILD STUDY ^ Wa^l Sixty-Fourth Sir eel, N e ir Yorh 19 2 seA«**- i/l U C Introduction ^tttttLEN this committee lirst began its wurk of selecting i'ov J^m the benefit of those who buy children's books, the most desirable of the ''recent"' publications, it felt that in spite of the occasional appearance of a Ijook of real merit, the general run of publications represented rather low standards, or no standards at all. It also found that the I)est of the new books were in many respects better than most of the older ones that had been acceptable to children and approved by adult« for- a generation or more. The marked superiority of certain of the new books w«' attributed at the time to a better understanding of child psy- cholog}^ on the part of the writers; and the improvement is to be observed in an increasing number of books intended for young people. This effect is no doubt a part of the general tendency of the recent past to apply scientific methods to the solution of all kinds of problems, and this tendency is further indicated in the notable improvement in a class of books that are concerned with introducing the young reader to the world of nature and of man's control over his environment. The point of view in these books is not, to be sure, as "new" as that of the advanced scholars in the various fields of research, but it is in decided advance of the books that the adults of the present generation had in their own childhood. ^loreover, the wonderful inventions and appliances of our times inevitably find their way not only into the machine-made tales of adventure, but into the more serious and more reliable books of interesting and readable information. The economic and social developments of the past genera- tion have also influenced children's books, not so much, how- ever, in the fiction as in the books frankly designed to get reliable information about the world of work and occupations, in contrast to the "'inspirationar' — and frequently forced — stimulations to ambition and effort. It is possible for young folks to learn something of the actual conditions in various fields of human activity instead of being misled into plans for careers m a make-believe world that no longer exists, if it ever did, such as an earlier generation of children had as perhaps tlieir sole guide, so far as reading is concerned. ^148425 Selected Books for Children We are again called upon to deplore the fact that really excellent books are allowed to go out of print and to make way for less valuable books with a view to meeting a supposed demand for novelt}\ In making the present cumulative selec- tion it has been necessary to omit some of the very best books from each of the earlier lists, because they are reported by the publishers as being "out of print/' although in a few cases we have repeated the titles in the expectation that single copies might be still available in various book stocks, and in the hope, perhaps rather faint, that an "effective demand'' might induce the publishers to reprint some of them. During the war there was at first a decline and then almost a cessation in the issuing of high class books for children. But after the armistice there seemed to be a rapid development of energy on the part of the writers and publishers, so that in 1919 the proportion as well as the actual number of books of merit was unusually large. But this condition appears to have re- sulted from the enforced curtailment of publication during the war and from the corresponding accumulation of excellent books — for the high average of last year has not been maintained. Nevertheless, there are indications of new forces at work in the gathering of material and its organization for the young reader. The few excellent books of the season are of very high quality and the promise is for a steady improvement of available reading for children. The application of psychology, previously mentioned, seems for the most part to be limited to the making of books for younger children, for the fiction available for boys and girls in their teens does not show the same relative improvement. On the other hand, there are increasing efforts in utilizing the lives of notable men and women as material for children's books, with every indication of success. Biography is gradually work- ing its way down toward the nursery. It is impossible to judge of the desirability or suitableness of a book from its appearance, or its price, or even from the stand- ing of its publishers. If it is not feasible for the purchaser to examine carefully each offering that he would consider, it is necessary to make use of annotated lists, or to seek competent counsel in some other form. It is not to be expected that any list of books could serve as a standard for all children. While it is desirable to encourage as Selected Books for Children far as possible the use of books of the higliest literary quality, we must not overlook the fact that there are many children who can never acquire a liking for the best. Rather than discourage familiarity with books altogether in such cases, it is wiser to select such as would i)e the most profitable under the circum- stances. But even here it is not sufficient to say of a book that it is harmless ; we must demand that every book have a positive value. Even if it is intended primarily to entertain, it may at the same time broaden the child's vision and refine his taste. The descriptions and age-limits given must be used with ref- erence to individual needs. Many a ten-year-old child can make profitable use of a book that is ordinarily appreciated by children of fourteen years or more. Relative maturity in general, and also special maturity in a particular field must be considered. Thus one child is capable of using rather advanced books in his- tory, w^hile being at the same time backward in nature lore. The list herewith submitted is a cumulative one, containing the books listed by the committee in 1910, 1912, 1913, 1914, 1916 and 1917. It is not a complete list. It is merely a selec- tion from among the books published within the last few years. We did not have access to all the new books ; in the course of the last twelve years (since the committee began its work) we ex- amined carefully some 3,000 volumes which were sent us by various publishers. The list is, therefore, a fairly representative one and will, we trust, be found helpful as a guide in the selec- tion of recent books for the young folks. The selection represents not merely the tastes and opinions of the few members of the committee, but also of a number of women and men who very kindly assisted wath their reading and criticism of the books ; and we here take the opportunity of thank- ing them for their valuable help. To those publishers who were kind enough to submit their books for review in this report, the committee wishes to express its thanks.
