THE LIBRARY The Library of the Washington Slate Normal School Is a success or a failure in direct proportion to the part it plays in stimulating the students of the school to mental activity. The library may gather, sort, and preserve much material; it may make provisions through reserved shelves for the required reading assigned by in¬ structors; it may add a certain number of books to the shelves each year; tt may help individual students solve problems connected with class work; but If it does not do more than this, it can be counted something of a failure. The library through selection of books, the organization of material, and personal service, should challenge the respect of the student and gain from him at least as much individual attention as he gives the most important course he takes. Seen in this aspect, the library becomes a great field of instruction with the student his own instructor. A normal school, or college course, of two or four years becomes the beginning of a more liberal educa¬ tion which the student is enabled to carry on because of his appreciation of the library, and his ability to use It. So that the students of this school may in some measure get this conception of this library, and of all libraries, we try to do certain things. The library purchases each year as many bonks of general Interest as possible. These need have no direct connection with the formal courses of¬ fered by the school. The library is more than glad to cooperate with individuals or organiza¬ tions having a hobby or special field of interest. A course in library science ia given, the aim of which Is to familiarize the student with the li¬ brary, and give him some conception of the place of the library in the school. These activi¬ ties and others are only means to an end: that of making the library a dynamic force in the life of the school. It is the one department of the school that reaches every student. The more points of contact it can make with the stu¬ dent body, the more successful it will tie. JOHN H. RICHARDS. I ' agc 2 ' i
