Excerpt from Papers and Proceedings of the General Meeting of the American Library Association: Held at Buffalo, August 14 to 17, 1883 Our sixth annual meeting finds us for the first time on the frontiers of our country, whence we can easily extend a hand of welcome to our neighbors of the Dominion. We are glad to find that later in the session some of our Canadian brothers win accept it. However tariffs and fealty may separate us, there is nothing alien in libraries; and why may not American, in a bibliothecal sense at least, include the whole brotherhood of the New World? We need attrition. Nothing has so much improved the standard of library management as this very commingling of librarians every year. Those who are familiar with the history of libraries in this country know that the advance in all that makes our work a system, and gives our calling an influence, has been vastly greater since librarians have acquired a neighborly habit. The inquiry is sometimes made, "What do you find to do and say at these meetings of librarians? Don't you get talked out?" - "Yes," we reply. "but we can go home and recuperate for another bout; and we take home with us, too, a kindly interest in one another; a tincture of other ideas than our own, wider sympathies, broader views, and deeper meanings than are deducible from the experiences of our tile autonomies. Such are the uses, such the fruits of these annual gathering." As I look over the topics of reports and papers in the programme before us, and recall the discussions which these topics have elicited at previous meetings, I am sensible of the varied points of view which our isolation from one another at home and the circle of our separate experiences have given us. It is an argument in itself for an occasional segregation. Nor must we expect that this social and mental contact is going to unify all our ways. It would be a pity if it did. Our national motto touches us as deeply as librarians as it does as patriot, for we are one in our diversities, - none the less united because each finds hit own way the best. We need to be taught that there is a multiplicity of bests. The ideal rule or system does not imply bondage to an idea. As long as mental action is various and experience is different, that system is best which we best assimilate. Time and locality, and more particularly that element which it a the fashion to term our personal equation, establish variety in our ideals. The folly of dogmatism is one that these meetings make us the better to understand. Custom has defined the scope of your president's address to be the recognition of what is important in the shaping of the general library interests of the year gone by. First in that respect is the established fact of your cooperative labor brought to a definite result. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
