The field practice is one of the distinctive features of the School.
During February and March of every year the academic schedule is sus-
pended and the students assigned for actual work in the libraries of the
state, under the supervision of the librarians and the members of the faculty
of the School.

This actual work seeks to cover not only the various phases of library
technique and library administration, but also the larger service to the
public through extension methods, library publicity, book selection, codper-
ation of libraries with schools, and story telling.
