Abstract
In the summer of 1962, the Boston Public Library
agreed to sponsor the study which is described in this
dissertation. The author is deeply grateful to Director
Hilton E. Lord and the other officers and staff of the
Boston Public Library for their generous support. Special
thanks are due Assistant Directors John J. Connolly, John
M. Carroll, and Ervin J. Gaines (who has recently been
serving as Chief Librarian of the Minneapolis Public
Library) for their invaluable assistance and boundless
patience.
For their fine cooperation, the author wishes to
thank the librarians of the Cary Memorial Library in
Lexington, Massachusetts, the Fremingham (Massachusetts)
Town Library, the Free Public Library in Hew Bedford,
Massachusetts, the Maiden (Massachusetts) Public Library,
the Girls Lstin School in Boston, and the Newton South
High School in Newton, Massachusetts.
Words cannot adequately express the author's
gratitude to Dr. Ralph R. Shaw for the motivation and
direction that he was able to provide; without his
encouragement, this study might not have been initiated
and brought to completion. Dean Heal Harlow and Professors
Mary V. Gaver, Ralph Blasingace, Jr., and Margaret E.
Monroe (who has recently been serving as Director of the
Library School at the University of Wisconsin) also supplied
extremely helpful guidance. To all of his advisors,
the author is very grateful.
Finally, thanks are due Mrs. Joseph B. McCartney
for her conscientious proofreading and typing.
