Both in England and in America, two orders of librarians and library assistants are tending to become clearly differentiated, on the analogy of the two orders in the Civil Service. On the one hand are those who enjoyed a liberal education and have supplemented this with a first-class technical training; on the other, those who had a poor start educationally. The latter may by intelligence and perseverance catch the former up; there will be no watertight partitions between the classes. But the difference between them will become more and more accentuated as library activities become more complex and more specialized. In one way, a school of librarianship forms a medium between the two grades; it may enable an energetic man or woman to overcome the disadvantages of a poor start in life; in another way, it helps to differentiate the classes, those persons who proceed successfully through the courses and win diplomas going automatically into the higher class, and those who fail to attain more than a few odd certificates, into the lower grade. The main determining factor is to have enjoyed or to have missed a good preliminary education, comprising a knowledge of languages and fair general culture. The present curriculum of the School of Librarianship is as follows:-- (i.) English Composition. (ii.) *Latin _or_ Greek _or_ Sanskrit _or_ Classical Arabic. (iii.) *A Modern Language other than English. (iv.) Bibliography. (v.) Library Organization (including Public Library Law). (vi.) Library Routine. (vii.) Cataloguing and Indexing. (viii.) Literary History and Book Selection. (ix.) Classification. (x.) Palæography and Archives.
