A study based on the list of public and society libraries contained in the Educational directory for 1915-16 of the Bureau of education. The writer finds that public library facilities are provided more abundantly in New England than in any other part of the United States, and points out that this section also shows the greatest fecundity in community leaders. Dr. Nearing's method and conclusions in this study are criticized by W. H. Powers in School and society, January 13, 1917, p. 49. 191. Paul, H. G. Books for high-school English.
