PREFACE This reading list has been compiled with special reference to the needs of librarians who undertake without the benefit of pedagogic training the responsible task of influencing young readers at the most impressionable time of their lives. It is constantly becoming more generally acknowledged that their profession requires an acquaintance, not only with the most approved methods of library administration, but also with the elementary principles of psychology, ethics, sociology and education. Most of the books selected are popular in style, though a few more scholarly works are given under each head. Arrangement leads from the simpler to the more profound, where such a distinction can be profitably made, and a star singles out a few works as of particular value. Critical notes show the fitness of the books for the special purpose of this list, rather than their interest to the general reader. Unsigned notes are by the compilers; sources of other notes are given whether condensed or quoted exactly. Exact citation is made whenever possible. References following the notes are to more extended reviews and notices.
