In closing we will quote a criticism of an eastern librarian, as a thought on which we all need to dwell: "From the artistic point of view such bulletins as I have seen are commonly too scrappy, ill arranged and given too much to detail.

In bulletins, as in many other things, the rule to follow first of all is simplicity."英文原著 · 《Library Work with Children》
