work of the school,and also becauseof its excellent advice on the practical details of school libraryplanning,the American Library Association has reprintedthis article,on the recommendation of the chairman of itsEducation Committee.  \nMr.Hill is an architect with an unusual grasp of theschool man's and the school librarian's problems,and his treat-ment will be of especial significance to those planning largesenior high school or junior college libraries.On only onepoint is it likely that the opinion of many librarians will be atvariance with his,and that is in his statement of the im-possibility of running a separate library and study hall.Somelibrarians,at least,believe that because of personnel.func-tion,and organization these rooms should be separate.Thecase is clearly set forth by Lucile Fargo in her book,Thc library in thc school  \n# The Modern High School andIts Library\n\nFor those progressive educators who recognize the potentialitiesof the library in the
