In making the selections.)
By MISS HELEN WEBSTER
Medford Librarian
More than 50 pieces of mail
were placed on the librarian's
desk the morning of this writ
ing: 29 of these were book no
tices, either publishers' catalogs,
book club bulletins, book deal
ers' announcements, or book re
view Journals.
More book notices will arrive
in troiorrow's mail, and in every
mail, every day. Every title
listed in every one of these will
be carefully checked as a mat
ter of regular library routine
before publication leaves the li
brarian's desk (which gets stack
ed pretty high upon occason)
as a possible purchase for the
Medford Public Library.
Different Weight Giren
Different weights are given
: these various types of publica
tion, as authorities for library
cook selection. Publishers' cat
alogs, book club bulletins, and
(booksellers' announcements, on
the one hand, are intended to
sell books. Their writers are ad
vertisers, paid to accentuate the
positive, to make every one of
their wares sound irresistible.
Book review journals, on the
other hand, especially those pub
lished specifically for public li
braries, are more likely to offer
a critical estimate of the book
and suggest the Worth it may
have for the public library col
lection. Strange as it seems, a
best-seller is not always a best
book, or even a desirable book
for public library purchase.
brary'g "consideration file." This
file usually contains more than
a thousand titles. From this,
since a library of moderate size
and limited budget cannot use
every desirable book, and can
not even purchase every book it
could use, the librarian must
select those that seem absolutely
indispensable.
Those that are transferred
from the consideration file to
the outstanding order file are
the books which it seems will
do the following things: fill ex
isting subject needs, meet a wide
reader interest, provide lasting
usefulness in the collection, and,
in short, supply "the best read
ing for the most people at the
lowest cost."
Balance in Collection
The individual book is con
sidered not only on its own
merits, but for its place in the
entire collection and against the
background of the community
which the library serves.
Books for a library are select
ed in much the same way as
garments for an all-occasion
wardrobe or ingredients for a
recipe. Some of our readers
would like more flour, others
ask us to be a little more gen
erous with the sugar, while still
others would like a great deal
more spice. We do our best to
please them all without throw
ing the "recipe" out of balance.
This is the briefest possible
resume of the principles of li
brary book selection, which fill
a shelf of fat textbooks and pro
vide content for year - long
courses at any library school.

Superseded in Magnitude
In spite of its superior size
and kindly name, Juipter is
definitely superseded in magni
tude by one of the so-called
minor or smaller planets.
Venus, not quite so large as
the earth, is completely en
veloped in clouds of high reflect
ing power and to earth-dwellera
is more brilliant than Jupiter,
whose cloud-covering reflects
less sunlight. The namesake of
the goddess of love and beauty
is the third brightest object in
the heavens with mighty Jupi
ter ranking a close fourth.
However, at the present time.
Venus has reached the place in
its orbital journey where its
light is submerged in the power
ful rays of the sun. So for the
next few weeks, Jupiter will
hold the position of thiwi bright
est object in the sky. Only the
sun and moon will be more bril
liant. Interesting Subject
This king of planets is a most
interesting subject for study
with even a small telescope. It
was towards Jupiter that Gali
leo, first to use the "optick tube"
directed this instrument of his
own construction.
The disc of that great world
was visible in his three-power
telescope and also what appear
ed to be three tiny, very faint
stars near to, and in line witn
the planet. The next night he
saw that the little stars had
changed their positions but were
apparently the same distance
from Jupiter.
A few nights later he could
tell that these minature heaven
ly bodies were moving around
the giant world, and there were
four instead of three. He had dis
covered the four largest of
Jupiter's twelve moons! These
satellites are now called the
Galilean Moons.
Hidden From Viaw
While sky-gazing through our
telescope recently, my husband
and I viewed these same "tiny
stars" arrayed in a straight line
of three by the side of this royal

other side of Jupiter was an
other minute dot of light, A few
evenings later only three mooni
were visible as the planet was
hiding one from view.
Anyone with binocular or
field glasses magnifying eight or
nine times can find these Gali
lean Moons easily, given a clear,
moonless night. Due to the
changing positions of these satel
lites the king of planets is al
ways an interesting telescopic
study.
Jupiter appears low in the
eastern sky just after sunset. Its
yellow non-twinkling beams

light is submerged in the mighty
