As a method of understanding the quantitative determination of library phenomena, there is a method of estimating the published stasistic date about libraries.
“Nippon no Toshokan, 1956” was used asa material for comparison of the policy of library management. The Index was classified as follows: A) Outside Condition, B) Scales of Library, C) Kinds of Policy, and D) Number of Users. The author must decide by means of the operative object of materials, of which the above-mentioned four kinds of indices are selected as characteristics. So D was decided as characteristics to get utilization of library and A, B, and C were operated as cause groups to D. Thus “ralation” and “mutual dependance” among the indices of groups classified by cause groups were pointed out and similarity and distinction among them were studied, that is to say, a scale of library and characteristics were used as two variables, and were grouped into two by the policy of the library management and then their “Rectilinear Equation” based on “Method of Least Squares” compared. (This model is the case in Tokyo.)
