Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of the Thirty-Fourth Annual Meeting, Held at New York, January 8, 9 and 10, 1899 State Superintendent, or the Secretary of State as ex-oficzo Superin tendent of Common Schools, in his reports adverted again and again to the subject, and said that the libraries were in danger from the purchase of indifferent and positively vicious literature, yet we did nothing to save them; all the legislation of succeeding years was of a character which would break down the library work rather than meet the condition and provide a remedy. In 1872 this State passed a Public Library Act, and like a great many other acts, the last that was ever heard of it was when the public printer got his pay for printing it in the statutes.' It made no provision for organization; it made 'no provision for administration. It simply authorized cities and towns and villages to raise money for library purposes; and practical experience shows that municipalities do not do things unless there is a practical way of enabling them and inspiring them to do it. At the recent meetin g of the Associated Principals at Syracuse my attention was called to the fact that the present school register was not well adapted to the union schools, and a committee was appointed at that meeting for the purpose of conferring with a like committee which it was hoped would be appointed here, looking to a revision of the register, or perhaps to the making of a new register for the special use of union schools. I commend this subject to your consideration. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
