To School Officials and Teachers : The Legislature of 1911 enacted a rural school library law which was to become operative when, in the opinion of the Governor, the condition of the State Treasury might warrant. The appropriation was fixed at $6,700 annually, or $100 for each county. The Gov- ernor, on January 15th, made the appropriation available March loth, 1912. The annotated library list was soon thereafter widely distributed, and the system went into operation. The respons-e was almost immediate, and the results have been exceedingly gratifying. In the preparation of the original book-list as well as this revi- sion, I have had the heartiest co-operation of Dr. Thomas M. Owen, the director of the department of archives and history. In fact, each edition was prepared under his personal direction. He and his office force labored untiringly to the end that Alabama might offer a large list of books, selected with the greatest pos- sible care and yet so helpfully classified by subjects and by grades, as to be a complete guide in the hands of book buyers. It is believed that the many advantageous features noticeable in the preparation of this book-list will cause it to compare favorably with the best publications of a similar nature in any state in the union. The prices were obtained through competitive bids and they in- clude transportation charges to the purchaser. These prices will be found considerably lower than actual net prices from publishers. The book-case recommended for purchase by all libraries represents a good value for the price and ought to be included with the first order. The cordial thanks of Dr. Owen and myself are extended to the many publishers who donated, free of charge, the hundreds of sample books from which selections have been made. I sincerely hope that every community in Alabama not already supplied will soon provide itself with a good library in order that all people, both old and young, but especially school children, may secure for themselves the rich blessings to be obtained through the reading of good books.

T HIS publication is the annotated list of books contemplated by Section 4 of the act of April 13, 1911, establishing and providing a system of school libraries for the rural, town, and village schools of Alabama. It is a revision and an enlargement of the list first prepared and published under date of January 1, 1912. It is believed that the directions of the law have been fully met. The list is representative, just as nearly as consistent with space, of the whole field of literature. Great care has been taken in the compilation, and no pains have been spared to secure the very best selections. No unwholesome or vicious books have been included. In the selections it will be noted that many books are admitted to the list, which cannot be properly classed as grade books for rural schools. This course, resulting in a much larger selection, is altogether justified because the list is intended not only to meet immediate conditions, but to anticipate the growing aspiration of the several communities which will avail themselves of the pro- visions of the law, as well as to afford a list for teachers, high school libraries, small public libraries, and others wishing the ad- vantage of a classed collection of good books. So considered, the list will be found of constantly increasing value to all who are in need of its reference help. Annotations have been provided, carefully bringing out details concerning the contents, scope and character of the books included in the list. Grade numbers, as accurate as possible, have also been appended. With each title are given an order number, the retail price, and the library price secured by the Committee. The latter has been fixed in accordance with the provision of the law, which says that “maximum prices for purchase shall be indicated.” Par- ticulars for making selections, orders, and all other necessary de- tails, will be found within. In addition to the compilation of the list it is provided that the commission “shall also adopt and publish rules and regulations for the choice of books, their use, preservation and circulation, the erection of book shelves or book cases, and the equipment of library rooms or buildings, and the training of librarians or custodians for the libraries.” In the pages which follow will be found the rules and regulations adopted, to which the attention of all trustees,, patrons and teachers is very earnestly urged. ( 5 ) 6 ALABAMA LIBRARY LIST. I. ALABAMA RURAL SCHOOL LIBRARY LAW. The law which follows is the first effort in Alabama looking to the establishment of libraries in the schools of the State from public funds. While general in its operation, it is confined to a limited class of such schools, namely, “rural, town and village schools,” but it is not to “apply to any school located in a town or city of more than one thousand inhabitants.” Having as a purpose the grant of State library aid to these smaller educational groups, the act of establishment presents a carefully worked out “system.” Existing educational administra- tive machinery for carrying out its provisions is employed through- out — the State Superintendent of Education, the County Superin- tendent of Education, the County Treasurer of school funds, dis- trict trustees, the teachers and school patrons. State aid is granted only after community effort in rasing a fixed sum of ten dollars has been successfully met, which amount is to be duplicated by the County in which located, to which from the State treasury is added ten dollars, making a total of thirty dollars. There is here a happy conjunction of effort, the results of which in a general way are sure to prove wholesome and helpful to every community acting under the law. Annotated lists of books suitable for the schools are provided and from these the libraries can only be purchased. Library Law. To provide for the establishment of libraries in the rural town and village schools of Alabama, to make an appropriation therefor, to provide for their maintenance and for their improvement, to authorize the com- missioners’ court or the board of revenue of the several counties to make an appropriation for the establishment and support of said libraries, and to provide rules and regulations under which said li- braries shall be established and maintained. Rural School Library System Established , and appropriation made , for maintenance in part, from State Treasury. Be it enacted by the Legis- lature of Alabama : Section 1. That the sum of one hundred dollars ($100.00) for each county, in all sixty-seven hundred dollars ($6,700.00) be and the same is hereby appropriated annually out of any moneys not otherwise appro- priated for the purpose of establishing and maintaining libraries in the public schools of Alabama ; provided that the provisions of this act shall not apply to any school located in a town or city of more than one thou- sand inhabitants. Courts of County Commissioners or Boards of Revenue Empowered to make appropriations for school libraries supplementing local and State aid : Sec. 2. That any commissioners’ court or board of revenue, or other similar court in any county of this State be and the same is hereby au- LIBRARY LAW. 7 thorized to appropriate not less than ten ($10.00) dollars, to each district public school in the county in any one year for the purpose of establish- ing, maintaining, enlarging, or improving public libraries in rural, village, or town schools; provided, that no appropriation shall be made to any school located in a town of more than one thousand inhabitants. School District s, Counties and the State, cooperate equally in providing library fund of $30.00. Procedure for obtaining the benefit of the law — raising of funds by school district, duplication by county, and payment of State appropriation : Sec. 3. That in order to obtain the benefits of the provisions of this act, the patrons or friends of any district school shall first raise a sum of not less than ten ($10.00) dollars, and deposit the said amount with the county superintendent of education. He shall within ten days, certify to the fact of the said deposit, and request action thereon. Thereupon the said court or board shall at once, or at the first term following the receipt of the notice, consider the application, and shall either dismiss the same or make an appropriation of not less than ten ($10.00) dollars. If the ap- propriation shall be made, the probate judge or other presiding officer of the court or board shall on the same date certify the fact to the county superintendent of education, who shall immediately thereafter, transmit the same to the State superintendent of education. On receipt of notice the State superintendent shall make a requisition upon the State auditor for the sum of ten ($10.00) dollars, in order to meet such donation and ap- propriation. The said warrant shall be drawn in favor of the county treasurer of school funds, to whom shall also be at once paid over by the county superintendent of education the amount first collected by volun- tary subscription, and the sum appropriated by the county. An account of the said sums so received shall be kept separate ; and they shall be paid by him as hereinafter directed. Representative lists of books for purchase to be compiled. Character of books to be selected. Prices to be fixed. Rules and regulations adopted : Sec. 4. That the State superintendent of education, with the assist- ance of the director of the department of archives and history, shall com- pile and publish a carefully selected and annotated list of" books from wiiick the libraries herein provided shall be chosen, and they shall also adopt and publish rules and regulations for the choice of books, their use. preservation and circulation, the erection of book shelves or book cases, and the equipment of library rooms or buildings, and the training of librarians or custodians for the libraries. The selections shall be as nearly as possible representative of the whole field of literature, and maxi- mum prices for purchase shall be indicated. The Library, library board, librarian, equipment, regulations : Sec. 5. That the local board of trustees of the district in which the school is located, and to which a library is granted, shall constitute a library board charged with the administration of the library as other school property, and they are hereby charged with the same care and attention in connection therewith as of the school grounds, the school building or buildings, and the school equipment. They shall select the librarian or custodian, who shall be the teacher, if he or she will consent to act, and they shall see that the rules prescribed herein are carried out, but if the librarian is other than the teacher, such person shall be under the direction of the teacher as the representative of the district board of trustees. They shall provide a suitable book-case, or book-cases, with lock and key, for the preservation of the library. 8 ALABAMA LIBRARY LIST.

Provided this act shall take effect when in the opinion of the governor the condition of the State treasury will justify the appropriation herein provided for. Approved April 13, 1911. II. ALABAMA TEACHERS’ AND YOUNG PEOPLE’S READING CIRCLE. While the act of April 13, 1911, is the first expression of State aid in behalf of libraries, books and reading, for years the teachers themselves have been working in that behalf. Several brief lists of selected books have been issued under the direction of the joint committee of the Alabama Education Association and the Alabama Library Association. This joint committee also assembled and placed, from time to time, hundreds of books in many smaller schools. In April, 1909, the Alabama Teachers’ Reading Circle was organ- ized, having as its object the encouragement of both general and professional reading and study among the teachers of the State. It was a success from the beginning. In 1910 its scope was en- larged, with a change of the title, so as to give the children and young people also an opportunity for systematic reading. At the end of the business year in 1911, the promoters were able to report a still further increase of interest. In 1913 the directors, after careful consideration, adopted, with minor modifications, Recom- mended Libraries Nos. 4, 5 and 6, previously adopted by this Com- LIBRARY LAW. 9 mittee, and at the same time added three additional libraries, as Nos. 7, 8 and 9, making nine in all, each valued at ten dollars, and recommended as suitable for purchase. The Circle work is in such condition that the Committee feels that the further development of the State library law ought to go hand in hand with it; and inasmuch as the courses of reading, the adopted books of the Circle, and the regulations therefor all lead to certain rewards in the form of certificates and diplomas, the real value of such affiliation is the more apparent. Therefore, the Committee has placed the books of the Alabama Teachers’ and Young People’s Reading Circle on its selected list, and at the same time recommends the Elementary Libraries, Nos. 1 to 9 inclusive, for first selection and purchase under the law. While such recommendation is not obligatory, but advisory merely, at least one of the libraries should by all means be secured, irre- spective of what other books may be bought. III. SUGGESTIONS AND PLANS FOR ESTABLISHING LIBRARIES. Under the law ten libraries may be established each year in each of the several counties of the State. This number will be slightly increased after the first two or three years, because of the failure of many of the school districts to take advantage of the opportunity afforded them. The moneys appropriated for libraries do not return at the end of the fiscal year to the State Treasury, but “all un- expended balances on the first day of October each year shall be reapportioned equally among all counties of the State”' — Section 7. While teachers are expected to take the initiative in arousing local interest in the establishment of libraries, through State and county aid, in large numbers of the school districts the members of women’s clubs and of the women’s patriotic societies will be found ready either to lead in such movement, or else to co-operate cor- dially. It is confidently expected that there will be a generous rivalry throughout the several counties in the matter of applica- tions for libraries. In any movement looking to the establishment of the library here- under, two things should be kept constantly in mind, namely, the matter of arousing general local interest, that is, interest on the part of every man, women and child in the school district, and the raising of the preliminary fund of ten dollars, required as a con- dition precedent for county and State aid. Before attempting to raise funds there should be a campaign of education on the subject of libraries, books and reading. The teacher should first of all visit 10 ALABAMA LIBRARY LIST. the local board of trustees, and explain to them the great advantages which will result to the community in the establishment of a library in the school, and that up-to-date teaching methods, as well as cul- ture forces demand this addition to the equipment of every well- regulated school. The leading men and women of the community or districts should also be visited. Daily talks should be made to the school children, in which they should be asked to speak to their parents and friends of the library plans. The teacher might also write occasional articles to the county newspapers presenting the advantages schools with libraries enjoy over those without such aids. While this campaign is going on, plans should be forming at the same time for raising the money required. Such campaign should not be limited to the ten dollars required by law, but as large a sum as possible should be collected, in order that the selection of books may be larger and more representative. After the money has been raised the selections should be made by the local board of trustees, the books ordered, and the library opened. Some of the ways suggested for raising money are as follows : 1. Appeal to your local district school board to provide the funds. 2. Appeal to some philanthropic citizen to assist the school in raising the funds. 3. Arrange with the school board to make such a proposition to the school. 4. Interest the whole community in the library plans, and have the children canvass every citizen for subscriptions for a library. 5. Let a school entertainment, or a series of entertainments, be given, for which charge a small admission fee. 6. Arrange a series of spelling matches with other districts, to which a small admission fee should be charged. 7. Engage an attractive public lecturer, from whose address you can clear some money on the sale of tickets. 8. Get all pupils to contribute a penny each week during the term. 9. Let the women of the district give a tea or supper, with charge for admittance. 10. Arrange celebrations of national holidays, and commemorate birthdays of notable men, charging a small admission fee. 11. Plan a market day; get contributions of edibles, fruits, vege- tables, confections, pastry, etc., etc., and have a market day for pupils and patrons. SELECTION OF BOOKS. 11 IV. SELECTION OF BOOKS— RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FIRST PURCHASE. Below will be found lists of books recommended for first pur- chase. The books so named have been selected after the most care- ful scrutiny, or for other reasons as given. Certain general sug- gestions, however, are deemed necessary, governing selections fall- ing outside of the recommended collection, as well as for future purchases or additions. Although the Committee has made up the libraries, deemed ap- propriate for first “consideration and purchase, the duty of actual selection is placed elsewhere. The law provides “That the selection and purchase of the books from the authorized list shall be made by the district board of trustees, upon the recommendations of the teacher or of any patron or friend of the school.” It is to be noted, therefore, that the agency for the selection is the board of trustees of the school district, that the selection can only be made from the authorized list, and that in such selection the recommendations of the teacher, or of patrons or friends of the school may be considered. Through these provisions it is believed that a more general local interest will be aroused than if the teacher alone were charged with the actual selection. After a lib- rary is assured, a meeting of the trustees should be held, to which the teacher and all patrons should be invited. Some one should fully explain the law, how the selections are to be made, the recom- mended lists should be examined, and a decision reached. It would be well for the teacher to be thoroughly acquainted with the lists, so as to be able to assist the trustees by suggestions, or otherwise, and at the same time to actually prepare the order for the books, to be forwarded through the county superintendent of education. As indicated above the Committee recommends for first purchase, both by the schools and by the teachers, at least one of the sets of books comprising the libraries of the Alabama Teachers’ and Young People’s Reading Circle. There are nine of these libraries for elementary or rural schools, each valued at ten ($10.00) dollars. Within the amount provided by law, namely, thirty dollars, any three of these libraries could be secured. This course would enable the school to obtain Circle membership and at the same time it would afford the pupils an opportunity to obtain the benefits of the rewards offered for the Circle course. These selected lists represent the joint efforts of the State Com- mittee and of the Board of Directors of the Reading Circle. The list of the teachers’ course is included herein because pre- pared and used by the Circle. The Committee, charged only with 12 ALABAMA LIBRARY LIST. the duty of recommendations for rural school libraries, makes no recommendations in reference thereto. Book Cask. The Committee, after careful examination of the subject, has arranged with Loveman, Joseph and Loeb, Birmingham, Ala., for the manufacture of a very attractive oak book case, with lock and key, suited to the needs of small school libraries. The price agreed upon is ten ($10.00) dollars, delivered. While it is not imperative that this case should be used, nevertheless, in order to secure the benefits of the library law, some fofm of book case is positively required to be provided by the local board of trustees. Where desired the trustees can order a book case from a local furni- ture dealer. (See rule 6 in Chapter VI hereinafter.) Rkcord Books. The Committee has adopted forms for a register of books pur- chased, and a register of loans and circulation. These books are made necessary, in order that an adequate record may be kept. Arrangements have been made with Loveman, Joseph and Loeb, Birmingham, Ala., to supply them, neatly bound, at fifty cents each. They must be ordered with the first library. (See rule 7 in Chapter VI hereinafter.) The following practical points should be kept constantly in view in general selections outside of the recommended libraries : 1. Well selected story books should have first consideration, but they should not be added to the exclusion of a well-balanced addi- tion of other classes of literature. 2. Do not buy books for adults or for the teacher to the neglect of the children and young people. 3. Some good reference book or books, suitable to local needs particularly, should be added as soon as funds will admit. 4. Some good books of biography and historical fiction should be purchased with every order. 5. Full sets of an author’s works, or all of the volumes of a given collection, are not necessary. As the library grows these sets may be completed if really desirable. Books should not neces- sarily be bought in series for the same reason. 6. Do not buy books from agents, even with outside funds. The prices for such books, even if for other reasons they are desirable, are usually very unreasonable. For the same amount very many and infinitely more valuable books can be had. If the school has any patron or friend desiring to make a book donation, let the selection come from the Alabama Library List. 7. Consult the critical notes or annotations in making selections from the list. RECOMMENDED LIBRARIES. 13 Recommended Libraries. Special libraries should be ordered by No. only.

Details for the selection of books are set forth with considerable fullness in the law, the provisions of which are mandatory. Section 6 provides, “That the selection and purchase of the books from the authorized list shall be made by the district board of trustees, upon the recommendation of the teacher or any patron or friend of the school. “After the order therefor shall be placed, on receipt of notice of the delivery of the books, the county treasurer of school funds shall draw a warrant or check to cover the charges, including the freight. “Vouchers or bills in duplicate shall be made out, one copy for the county treasurer of school funds, and one copy to be sent by the bookseller or dealer to the State Superintendent of Education.” It will be seen that a careful system is provided, which is self- explanatory. It is to be noted, however, that all details connected with the foregoing are to be performed by the representative of the school district ( usually the teacher ) and by the county superintend- ent of education. The county treasurer of school funds is to be called upon to perform no other detail work than the payment for the books. A further important fact to be noted specially is that on the re- ceipt of duplicate statement, with bill of lading or express receipt attached, the county superintendent of education is directed to re- gard this as such delivery as to authorize him to immediately cause a warrant or check to be drawn by the county treasurer of school funds to cover, which is to be forwarded by him to the book dealer. The Committee has designated Loveman, Joseph and Eoeb, Bir- mingham, Ala., as the successful bidders for the contract to supply all the books contained in the adopted lists. “Maximum prices for purchase” have been agreed upon as re- quired by law, and the retail price has also been indicated. An order form has been provided, and it should be followed care- fully in every detail in making orders. 26 ALABAMA LIBRARY LIST. Order Form. (Post Office.) (Date.)

LIBRARY RULES AND REGULATIONS. For the organization and management of the libraries the Com- mittee has fixed sundry rules and regulations, the observance of which is made obligatory. These rules and regulations are simple and present an orderly series of steps involving the library, the library board, librarian, equipment, circulation of books, charges and fines, care of books, and reports. All persons whatever connected in any way with the management or the use of the libraries are charged with strict attention thereto. Such course will not only be a compliance with the letter of the law, but will also be productive of the best results. Library. 1. The library shall consist of the books, book-case, registers and other equipment, which may be had or secured under the provisions of the rural school library law, or which may from time to time be added thereto; it is the property of the school district, and as such it is in all respects subject to the same protection from loss, mutila- tion or destruction ; and it shall during the term be kept and housed in the school building. In the vacation period, if the local board of trustees so direct, it may be retained in the school house and opened at stated periods, or it may be placed at such other place as will best serve the interests of the school district. Library Board. 2. “The local board of trustees of the district in which the school is located, and to which a library is granted, shall constitute a li- brary board charged with the administration of the library as other school property, and they are hereby charged wi-th the same care and attention in connection therewith as of the school grounds, the school building or buildings, and the school equipment.”— Sec. 5. They are also charged with the duty of seeing that the rules herein provided are carried out, and to that end they may specially require the co-operation of the teacher. Librarian. 3. “They [the local board of trustees] shall select the librarian or custodian, who shall be the teacher, if he or she will consent to act, and they shall see that the rules prescribed herein are carried out, but if the. librarian is other than the teacher, such person shall be under the direction of the teacher as the representative of the dis- trict board of trustees.” — Sec. 5. 28 ALABAMA LIBRARY LIST. All records are to be kept in ink. 4. In the event the teacher consents to act as librarian, he or she shall have authority to appoint an assistant or assistants, whose duty it shall be to aid in the performance of the duties of librarian. 5. The duties of the librarian are the care and custody of the books, their entry in the register of books purchased, the note of proper record in the register of loans and circulation, the assess- ment of fines, the careful repair of worn, torn or mutilated books, the making of all reports which may be required, and the diligent effort to make the library a vital and constructive force in the school and the school district. Book-Case and Record Books. 6. “They [the local board of trustees] shall provide a suitable book-case, or book-cases, with lock and key, for the preservation of the library.” — Sec. 5. (The case figured and described elsewhere herein has been adopted and is recommended as most suitable and economical, at least at the inception of the library.) 7. They shall provide a register of books purchased, and a regis- ter of loans and circulation. (Forms for these books have been adopted, and they can be had from the dealers supplying the library books, at fifty cents each.) Circulation. 8. As soon as received the books shall be listed by the librarian in the Register of books purchased, particular care being taken that all blanks shall be filled. 9. After being listed, in each book shall be entered, on the in- side cover and in, the following order, the name of the County, the name and number of the school district, the local name of the school, if any, the cost of the book, the date of the purchase, cata- logue number (from this book list), and the number as listed in the register of books purchased. Instead of writing the foregoing an inexpensive blank book plate or label may be printed and pasted on the inside cover. 10. All pupils of the school and patrons of the school district are entitled to the free privileges of the library. Parents or guar- dians are responsible for the care of the books while in the hands of their children or wards, and for the fines which may be imposed hereunder. Books taken out by pupils are to be charged to their parents or guardians. 11. One book only at one time shall be allowed to any pupil or patron. . LIBRARY RULES AND REGULATIONS. 29 12. A book may be retained as a loan for one week, with a privilege of renewal for one week and no longer. 13. No borrower shall have the privilege of lending, outside of his own home, a book drawn from the library. 14. Every book loaned, at the time taken out, shall be entered by the librarian in a register of loans and circulation, with the date, the number, the title, to whom delivered, to whom charged ; and when returned, upon the same record must be noted the date, the condition, and the fines assessed for over-time, or for injury, if any, with the fact of payment or non-payment. 15. On the return of books to the library, they shall be carefully examined by the librarian who shall assess and note on the register the fines hereinafter fixed, and collection thereof. Charges and Fines. 16. The use of the library is free. 17. For failure to return books on time, for loss or injury, or other violation of the rules and regulations, fines are fixed as fol- lows : a. One cent for each day after the date for return, unless re- newed. b. For loss of a volume, the cost thereof ; and if one of a set, a sum sufficient to replace it, or to purchase a new set. c. For a leaf or leaves torn out, or for soiling the book, or any of the leaves, so as to render it unsuitable for circulation, to be judged by the librarian, the cost of the book. d. For any injury beyond ordinary wear, a sum adjusted to the damage, to be estimated by the librarian. e. Should a book be retained four weeks by a borrower and not returned, it shall be deemed to be lost, and the cost of the book shall be assessed as a fine; but such fine may be readjusted on the basis of one cent a day, if the book be later returned in good condition. f. Any pupil or patron in arrears for fines shall be denied the privilege of the library until the same shall be paid in full. 18. All fines collected are to be applied to replacing lost volumes, and to keeping in repair worn or mutilated books. Reports. 19. On request the teacher as librarian shall make a written report to the local board of trustees on any matters connected with the condition or administration of the library. 20. Once each year, or within ten days after the close of the school term, the teacher as librarian shall make a report in writing to the State Department of Education in which he shall give : 30 ALABAMA LIBRARY LIST. a. Name and Number of the school district, County and P. O. address. b. Date originally opened. c. Number of volumes at date of opening of school term, and number added during the year. d. Number of volumes at date of report. e. Number of volumes and amount paid therefor from other than the State library fund. f. Number of volumes secured by gift. g. Number of loans during the school year (counting each volume once for each time loaned.) h. Amount of fines assessed. i. Amount of fines collected. j. Such other items as the Superintendent of Education may require. VII. CLASSIFICATION. (Dewey Decimal System of Classification slightly modified and adapted.) An examination of the annotated list will show an arrangement in certain classes or groups. This has been done in order that all the books on a given subject, or of the same general character, may be brought together, thus the better to afford an opportunity for the more satisfactory location of subjects, and at the same time to in- dicate the relative strength of the several departments represented. The arrangement follows the standard classification, now almost universally adopted in the public and school libraries of the country. The numbers assigned are those given the several classes in ac- cordance with the Dewey decimal system of classification. To illus- trate, all books on animals are given the class number 590 , books on hygiene, 613 , the history of literature, 810 , and the history of ancient times, 930 . The use of this standard classification, and the assignment of class numbers, are not intended to confuse, but to serve as aids in the arrangement of the list, and at the same time to acquaint teachers, pupils and other users of the list, with some phases of library technical rules. Should any one of the libraries grow to such proportion as to re- quire oi ganization or classification on the shelves other than alpha- betically, by authors, full particulars can be had as to the best pro- cedure by addressing the Director, Alabama State Department of Archives and History, Montgomery. The classification as adopted, and under which all of the books listed are represented, is here given in outline. CLASSIFICATION OF BOOKS. 31 Classification. General Works Class No. 030 Cyclopedias.

The list which follows contains the titles in detail of the several books recommended by the Committee as suitable for library use. It is the “annotated list” required by law to be compiled. Particulars as to the compilation will be found in the Introduction. The entire collection is arranged or grouped in classes or subjects ac- cording to a simplified form of the Dewey decimal system of classification, which will be found more fully explained in Chapter VII hereof. All titles are arranged alphabetically by authors in each class. Order numbers are given consecutively on the left. To the right are noted the publisher’s price and the special library price. The library price governs in making orders, and includes delivery. Grades have been assigned, following publishers grading as far as possible. The elementary and grammar school grades range from 1 to 7. “Advanced grade” is an arbitrary phrase used to indicate that the book is above grade 7 ; “Educational” indicates that the book is suitable for the use of teachers; and “Reference” is employed to show that the book is a reference work of the class where noted. The annotations or notes follow the title, and are in small type. They are not in any sense exhaustive, but are only intended to very briefly point out the character, extent or literary value of the book in question. The name of the publisher is given in a single word, following the pagination. In Chapter VIII will be found a full list of the publishers represented in the list, with the local addresses. Inasmuch as dates of publication of different editions of books vary, the pagination is given in order there may be no substitution of one edition, where another is listed. No books in paper binding are included in the list. The prices given are for hooks, either in cloth or hoards, never in paper. The prices noted represent the bids made by Loveman, Joseph and Loeb, Birmingham. Books ordered from the publishers, unless prices are spe- cially agreed upon by them, are not to be had at the library list price here noted. Before ordering, the several directions in reference thereto should be fully observed. 36 ALABAMA LIBRARY LIST. MODEL LIBRARY. The entire collection of recommended books has been brought together, and is on display in the Alabama State Department of Archives and History, State Capitol, care- fully classed as herein indicated. It is open to consultation and examination by any teachers, students or others who may desire to personally inspect the books before making orders. In such examination or consultation the members of the Department staff will render all possible assistance. 030. Cyclopedias. Book List Lib’ry No. price price 1. Champlin, John Denison.

It is not used in the destructive sense. It does not seek out a new base for school conduct, nor does it run counter to established laws of life and growth. On the contrary, it is constructive in its use. It aims at fundamental harmony by facing the rural school away from the many artificial interests which have hampered the usefulness of this institution in the past. Indeed, the new movement strives to place the school where the school inherently belongs — in the midst of natural in- terests where it can prepare the youth for sane, wholesome lives on the farm — the only normal American life of our day.” — Preface. 124.

(Educational.) .75 .72 “The cotton industry is probably the greatest single industry in the world if the cultivation, manufacture, commerce, and the uses of the cotton products are considered. The influence of the cotton plant on the history of America is especially interesting. The commerce of the Middle Ages, Columbus’ discovery of Amer- ica. the trade between England and her American colonies, the revolution of the colonies, the War of 1812, the building of the nation, the institution of slavery, the tariff question, the exten- sion of the nation beyond the Mississippi, the Civil War, and the rebuilding of the South were all deeply affected by the cotton in- dustry ; and the world’s commerce for more than a century has been affected largely by it. For nearly a century the industrial life of the South has been either directly or indirectly related to the cotton industry, and this industry controlled for many years the politics of this country and influenced in no small measure the politics of Europe. “Therefore this great economic force has more than ordinary interest for all students of America and especially for students of the South, whose history is affected so vitally by it. Pupils in our public schools have been taught almost exclusively the polit- ical history of our country. They have had told to them over and over again the story of political upheavals and military op- erations, although these crises are probably the results of certain economic forces working in the life of the people. It should be one of the chief aims of the schools, therefore, to acquaint the student with the leading economic forces of his neighborhood, his state, and his country, in order that he may better understand the politics of the country. “ ‘The Story of Cotton’ treats of one of the greatest industries of the world and its relation to the life of the people. As a text- book it may be studied profitably in connection with the history of America. It will naturally find a place, therefore, in the grammar schools wherever American history is studied.” — Pref- ace. 494. Buffum, David. The horse. His breeding, care and use.

The civilization of the Old South — the reforming into a New South upon the ba- sis of a large inheritance — these two civilizations, different from their neighbors in temperament, in certain problems of vital mo- ment, in the structure of their social fabric, have produced an unmistakable literature, duly reflecting the mental, moral, and emotional viewpoints of time and place. “In the following pages an attempt has been made to indicate this close connection existing between the Southern life and its literature. Only those dominant figures are dwelt upon who had it within them to sound a sustained note — if they were poets ; to stem or to encourage the tide of public or sectional feeling — if they were public men ; to create or to reflect the true atmosphere of locality — if they were novelists. To apply a rigorous critical standard is the only just way of approaching an extensive sub- ject. And there is no denying that the field of Southern litera- ture is a large one.” — Foreword. 830.

"He was for a long time so well beloved by the people of his section that he was known as ‘the poet laureate of the South’ ; and there is some reason for the expression. His poetry is dis- tinctly Southern in tone and in background. The product of all that was best in the Old South — heir of its chivalry and romance — he brought to the New South sound standards of criticism, faithful devotion to art, and a spirit of high courage and hopeful- ness. He is the connecting link between Sims and Lanier. As he received inspiration from the former, so he was among the first to recognize the genius of the latter. He is the representative of the small banJ of Southern writers who before the war bore aloft the torch of literature ; he kept it lighted during the dark days of Reconstruction ; and passed it on to Lanier on the awakening of the section to national consciousness.” — Mims. 843.

He combined in one nature the impulsiveness of the Celt and the warm-hearted- ness of the Southerner, and when he died he was mourned by all, irrespective of creed. A Roman Catholic, he was honored by Protestants ; an Irishman, he was loved and admired by native Americans.

The author says in the concluding paragraph of the introduction: “It is the figure of his [Light Horse Harry Lee] youngest son that comes before us as the great Lee when mention is made of the family name. In the heart of the Southerner his name occu- pies a place that no other name can ever occupy. But the pride in his military career belongs to the whole nation and to no sin- gle section of the country.” This book is erroneously entered in this place. It belongs in Class 921.

To include, however, only those aspects of life in which the influence of physical environment is clearly apparent would be to present only a part of the story and to omit many interesting and important details which children ought to know about the people of Asia. Since the volume, in its character of a supplement to an ordinary textbook of general ge- ography, is intended primarily to give children a picture of the life of the inhabitants of Asia, the author has deliberately in- cluded many details in which the causal relation between life and its geographic surroundings cannot easily be shown. The chief emphasis, however, has been given to habits and customs which show the causal relation, for the purpose of the book is to in- struct as well as interest.” — Preface. 1361. Krout, Mary H.

In the course of his travel Mr. Post crossed the Andes and shot down swift rivers portaging around rapids and falls, to the Madeira, which is one of the principal sources of the Amazon. On the way he dealt with loose-fingered gentry in the highlands of Ecuador and followed a devious trail through places where the most savage tribes of South America have their hunting grounds. Most of the time his companions were natives, save where now and again he stumbled upon a rubber camp hidden in the depths of the jungle.

(5 grade.) “The primary aim of this book is to acquaint the children of the South with the goodness and grandeur of the lives of two of her noblest sons. “The suggestion for the work came from a report of the Libra- ry Committee of the School Officials of Georgia, who urged that some one write the life of Jefferson Davis for use in the South- ern schools. Not only was Davis a leading figure in the South- ern Confederacy, but he played an important part in his time in our national life. He was a man of high ideals and of lofty am- bitions. Of the goodness and purity of General Lee there can be no question. It seems, therefore, especially fitting that the sto- ries of the President of the Confederacy and of his Commander in Chief should be given together. “All points of controversy and sectional feeling have been avoided. It is a time when the whole nation is laying aside dis- cussion of such topics, a time when North and South are each realizing and acknowledging that in the Great Trial each was faithful to duty.” — Preface. 1470.

Through such work as his, in one generation of grim purpose and intellectual audacity, the South has lost its economic distinct- ness, and has become a part of American life and American des- tiny. Men may forget the oratory, the diplomacy, the intellec- tual vigor, the gracious, compelling charm of Curry, the man, but they will not forget the zeal, the self-surrender of Curry, the so- cial reformer and civic patriot ; and when the final roll shall be called of the great sons of the South, and of the nation, who served society well when service was most needed, it may well be believed that no answer will ring out clearer and higher and sweeter in that larger air than the ‘Adsum’ of J.

The first two, Miss Keller’s sto- ry and the extracts from her letters, form a complete account of her life as far as she can give it. Much of her education she cannot explain herself, and since a knowledge of that is neces- sary to an understanding of what she has written, it was thought best to supplement her autobiography with the reports and letters of her teacher. Miss Anne Mansfield Sullivan. The addition of a further account of Miss Keller’s personality and achievements may be unnecessary ; yet it will help to make clear some of the traits of her character and the nature of the work which she and her teacher have done.” — Editor’s Preface.

In truth the more rigidly accurate and scientific a statement is, the more easily it is for a child to take it in. . . . “I have, I hope, shown that it is perfectly easy to teach chil- dren from the very first, to distinguish true history alike from legend and from willful invention, and also to understand the nature of historical authorities and to weigh one statement against another.” 1562.

For some of our American beginnings we are indebted to the Greeks, for some to the Romans, for others to the men of the Middle Ages, and for others still to the peoples of more recent eras.

It is foreign from my plan to write of the military achievements and the splendid services of the army, lessening daily in numbers from sickness and battle, as this is a matter of military rather than of political history. Many volumes have l’ecorded these glo- rious deeds. The skill of captains, the endurance and gallantry of those who, amid ‘the weary waiting for help which never came,’ accomplished marvels of manhood and patriotism, are now slowly acknowledged, but the underlying principles and motives of se- cession still lack understanding and approval. If this little vol- ume shall remove any prejudice or throw any clearer light on historical and constitutional truth the author will receive ample remuneration for the time and labor he has given to its prepara- tion. ’ ’ — Preface. 1671.

As the field opened it seemed to me that an account of ante-bellum conditions, social, economic, and political, and of the effect of the Civil War upon ante-bellum in- stitutions would be indispensable to any just and comprehensive treatment of the later period. Consequently I have endeavored to describe briefly the society and the institutions that went down during Civil War and Reconstruction. Internal conditions in Alabama during the war period are discussed at length ; they are important, because they influenced seriously the course of Recon- struction. Throughout the work I have sought to emphasize the social and economic problems in the general situation, and ac- cordingly in addition to a sketch of the politics I have dwelt at some length upon the educational, religious, and industrial as- pects of the period.” — Preface. 1691.

(1859 — ) Colonial Mobile; an historical study largely from original sources, of the Alabama-Tombigbee Basin and the old South- west, from the discovery of the Spiritu Santo in 1519 until the demolition of Fort Charlotte in 1821, by Peter J. Hamilton, pp. 594. Rev. and enl. ed. (Educational.) 3.50 “The vast region, draining from the Tennessee watershed to the Gulf, and here fii'st characterized as the Alabama-Tombigbee Basin, rich in natural features and historic interest, tinds in this volume an exhaustive and appreciative presentation of its his- tory. While the work is called Colonial Mobile, it concerns not alone the town of that name, but the settlement and expansion of population in the whole basin, while under the rule of foreign powers, and during the early years of American control. The pe- riod covered, 1519-1821, is divided into six parts, with an appendix of documents and collateral matter. Within these three centuries come the discovery and exploration by the Spanish, 1519-1670; the settlement and growth of the French, 1670-1763 ; the domi- nation of the British, 1763-1780 ; and the occupation of the Span- ish, 1780-1813. In none of the general histories of Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida, or Alabama, indeed in no work, has emphasis been placed on the fact that the Mobile Basin has been the cen- ter of an important influence and history from the early explora- tions of the sixteenth down to the present century. Failing to appreciate this importance the treatment of its history has here- tofore been subordinate and meagre. The author finds the ex- planation in the fact that Spain, France and England lost the territory so long ago as to have lost likewise interest in its his- tory. It has, too, so long been severed from the Mississippi val- ley, which was colonized from its shores, that the historians of modern Louisiana have known personally but little of this, the original seat of that great empire, and have devoted their atten- tion mainly to the later growth which centered on the lower Mis- sissippi.” — Thomas M.

A good book is the precious life-blood of a master-spirit, em- balmed and treasured up on purpose to a life beyond Vrft.—Milton. In books lies the soul of the whole Past Time ; the articulate audi- ble voice of the Past, when the body and material substance; of it has altogether vanished like a dream .—Carlyle. \>\' r v', *. y We owe to books those general benefits which come from high intellectual action. Thus, I think, we often owe to ; then! the per ception of immortality. They impart sympathetic activity to the moral power: . .... In the highest civilization. the book is still the highest delight .-— Waldo Emerson. Free corn in old Rome bribed a mob and kept it passive. i By free books and what goes with them in modern America we mean to erase, the mob from existence. There lies the cardinal difference between a civilization which perished and a civilization that will endure. — Lamed. r 1 V: . - :■ ' ■■ O for a booke and a shady nooke Eyther in door or out, With the greene leaves whispering overhead.
