Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
The Primer was first issued as a University Bulletin in the Library Series. The demand for the work was so great that the first edition of 1000 copies was soon exhausted. The purpose of the Primer is to furnish a guide for teachers who wish to organize high school libraries. It will be found serviceable also to the librarians of small public libraries. The importance of the modern high school library is being stressed by educators at the present time. They are insisting upon the organization, equipment and the efficient administration of such libraries. The committee on accredited schools of the University of Missouri insists upon adequate library facilities as a condition of accrediting high schools. The college library also must reach the standard in size and quality and efficiency before it is given the rank of a Junior College. The present method of teaching the laboratory method presupposes adequate library facilities. In fact, no really good high school is possible without good library facilities. In preparation of this Library Primer, I have made use of similar publications, and am indebted to Mary E. Baker and Emma K. Parsons, members of my own staff and to Elizabeth B. Wales, Secretary of the Missouri Library Commission, for their criticisms and suggestions. HENRY O. SEVERANCE, Columbia, Missouri. March 1, 1917. Librarian.

Présentation de l'éditeur
Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
