Excerpt from Standard Library Organization and Equipment for Secondary Schools, 1920: Report of a Committee of the National Education Association on Library Organization and Equipment The library committee of the department of secondary education of the National Education Association was organized in 1915 at the annual meeting in Oakland, Cal. The members of the committee at that time decided that two purposes should be carried out during the year: first, to investigate actual conditions in high school libraries throughout the United States; and second, to make these conditions known to school administrators and to secure their aid in bettering existing conditions. The first purpose was accomplished through a series of surveys, including the states of the South, of the Middle West, of the West, and of the East. A report based upon these surveys was presented to the secondary department at the New York City meeting in 1916 and published in the Proceedings of that year. Gathered together at that meeting were high school principals, teachers, librarians, and state and city superintendents, who, in discussing the problems relating to high school libraries, gave a new conception of the status of the library in the high school. It was through this program that the committee accomplished its second purpose. Taking part in the discussions at the meeting were such men as Doctor Davidson, of Pittsburgh, Pa.; Mr Jesse B. Davis, of Grand Rapids, Mich., and Prof. Charles Hughes Johnston, of Urbana, Ill. A full account of the meeting, with papers contributed by the speakers, is published in the National Education Association Proceedings for 1916. It was the sense of the department at that time that the library committee should be continued and that it should work out a constructive program of library development acceptable to the secondary department. Professor Johnston consented to take the leadership in this movement. He was also chairman of the commission on unit courses and curriculums of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. As chairman of this commission he organized a library committee with the purpose of preparing, under the guidance of the members of the commission, a much more detailed report than seemed possible in the National Education Association. It was my great pleasure to act as chairman of this library committee of the commission and to work under the leadership of Professor Johnston. He planned to secure the adoption of the projected report by the North Central Association and then to present it to the secondary department of the National Education Association for similar action.
