Excerpt from Notes From the Art Section of a Library: With Hints on Selection and Buying
General principles. The president of the New York State Library School Association has asked me to talk to you on the selection of books and pictures for a library. The vice director of the school has suggested that I state the principles of selection. The phrases, principles of selection, rules for selection, would, however, be entirely out of place. They imply too much that is sure and definite. I can only give you my own experience and some practical hints drawn from it.
