Excerpt from Indicators Versus Card-Charging With Some Reference to the Intercourse Between Librarian and Reader

IN a previous issue of the library, an article appeared entitled A Card-charging System for Lending Libraries, and had the author rested content with an explanation of the mode of work and an enumeration of the merits claimed for that system, I should not have considered it necessary to trespass upon your valuable time with any comments of mine. As, however, he took occasion to make remarks respecting another system, not altogether compli mentary to those who advocate its use, and also likely to mislead the uninformed, I trust I may be permitted to give expression to other views, which are slightly different to those he represents.

My remarks about indicators will apply only to those best known in this country.

In the first place it should be borne in mind that the main question in making a comparison such as Mr. Quinn has attempted, is not what is good or bad about this or that system, but which is the best one taking it all round; in other words, which will accomplish the most with the least labour, worry, and loss of time.
