Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalog of Literature for Advisers of Young Women and Girls: An Annotated List of About Two Thousand Titles of the Most Representative and Useful Books and Periodical Articles Literature is also included on dormitory arrangement and equipment, cafeteria management, etc., for the use of those having the management of residence halls or where student or other housing movements are being considered or are in progress. Deans and Advisers of Women and other users of the catalog who are called upon to address young women frequently will find many books and periodical articles listed for this special purpose, some of which are included because of their richness in effective illustrations and some because of the author's reputation for expressing things incisively and effectively. Although great pains have been taken to include all the desirable material in this collection, the compiler feels reasonably certain that some excellent material has not been discovered. Users of the catalog are therefore urged to forward to her suggestions of other pertinent material which can be incorporated in a later edition. The following sources among others have been consulted - the catalogs of the Library of Congress, of the New York Public Library, of the New York State Library, of the American Library Association, and of many publishers; the Cumulative Book Index, the Book Review Digest, the Readers' Guide to Periodical Literature; and wherever available, special bibliographies bearing upon the subjects treated. The prices have been taken in the main from the Publisher's Trade List Annual of 1920. A few out-of-print books have been listed and those have been marked o. p. Under present conditions prices of books fluctuate in common with the prices of other commodities. Acknowledgment is made for the help rendered by the members of the 1919 and the 1920 Advisers Club of Teachers College, Columbia University, Summer Sessions, who sent in book lists and otherwise assisted in the preparation of the catalog; also for the cooperation and help of Miss Grace A. England, Chief of Civics Division, Public Library, Detroit, Michigan, who compiled a classified list of excellent references; of Mrs. Katherine Sisson McLean Phillips, formerly President of the National Council of Deans of Women, and of Miss Mina Kerr, Dean of Milwaukee-Downer College and President of the National Council of Deans of Women, both of whom read the entire proof, making many practical suggestions from the standpoint of experienced Deans of Women; of Dr. Anna L. Brown, Director of the Bureau of Social Education, National Board of the Y. W. C. A., Dr. Josephine Hemmenway Kenyon, Associate Director, Bureau of Social Education, National Board of the Y. W. C. A., Lecturer, Teachers College, Columbia University, and Miss Marguerite P. Williams, of the Recreation Department of the Russell Sage Foundation, the three having shared the work of checking up the sections of health, recreations, etc.; of Dr. Willystine Goodsell, Associate Professor of Education, Teachers College, Columbia University, who read the section on Education making many helpful suggestions; of Miss Corinne Bacon, former librarian of Drexel Institute and Director of its library school, now lecturer on book selection in various library schools and compiler of the Standard Catalog, published by The H. W. Wilson Co., who made some valuable suggestions; of Miss Alice L. Jewett, Editor of the Public Affairs Information Service, who assisted in classifying and indexing the material; of Miss Mertice James, Associate Editor of the Agricultural Index, who assisted in preparing the material for printing and to whose technical knowledge and experience is largely due the uniformity and consistency in matters of form and arrangement; of Miss Helen Tompkins, Classifier of the New York State Library, who gave helpful corrections on the classification of material.
