Thus the desideratum is an appropriate blend of general and special accomplishments, and there is no question as to which should be acquired first. Entrants to the School of Librarianship are expected to have matriculated beforehand: if they aim at academic honours, they should take their degree before they specialize in professional subjects. Many of the present students are pursuing librarianship as a postgraduate course: this may become a general rule as the programme of studies is enlarged. The University has recently allowed the course to be taken as the final stage in a degree course, under certain regulations. Some American library schools have highly specialized curricula; the Carnegie Library School of Pittsburg, for instance, has courses in Library Work with Children and School Library Work; and at Washington, in association with the School for Secretaries, there is a Training School for Business Librarians. High school or college graduation is usually required for admission, and in the library schools at Syracuse University and the University of Wisconsin there are courses leading to a degree. Too much specialization in the library school itself is not desirable. The best librarian for a technical, scientific, historical, or other special library is one who has taken the B.Sc., B.Eng., or honours Schools, and then followed a course in Librarianship. Librarianship is not a science, notwithstanding the fact that a number of the American library schools call themselves schools of library science, and that a baccalaureate is granted in this, but an art. It is the application of knowledge, knowledge which must be attained first; education must have preceded training. That is a rough-and-ready way of putting it; but such is the main principle that should guide us in drawing up a course in librarianship.
