The functional theory of library generally mean function of communication and educational function. The former is able to decide the general function of library existing beyond the frames of nation, society, and age, but there is a negative action which shut out the function artificialy. This is phenomenon of burning, inhibition, censorship of books.
This report aimo to discuss meaning, emerging form of the burning, inhibition, censorship of books not only from the bibliographical point of view but from the political and sociological point of view, and will point out how the action of anti-communication disturbs the function of library, how it damages the completness of service action to readers, how the innocence of it checks the liberty of reading for reader.

A farm-village is usealy isolated in the distance and inclosed, in addition it is separated from a city life, retaded and cut off from a city, therefore it is little effective to try to make the populance of a farm-village user of a library. It needs force of organization to overcome the unbalance and the low efficiency of library users. And we are obliged to organize the custom to use a reading club. The organization of users of library in a farm-village is left behinded. In a farm-village there is minor group between library and users.

Though many studies of such a technic as classification and cataloging have been published, the most of its contents are to interpretate the traditional technic made by M. Dewey and Cutter or try to discuss it in detail.
With the development of technic industry world we need the different service in quality and quantity, in addition considering the rapid rise of publications, we can not expect the result by dint of the traditional technic.
From this point of view I analysed how the traditional technic had the speciality about the character and method. In the result of this analysis traditional technic have three problems in respect of following three points.
1. The traditional technic is studied from the point of view of library activity =technic.
2. The attitude for study of the traditional technic is proceeding unconcious of the methotology.
3. The location of arrangement process and science of working (classification and cataloging) is ambiguious. And yet the minuteness of the science is discussed.

We regard all the materials that are used and preserved not as the a simple accumulation but the group differentiated from materials which is not used and preserved.
We call the simple and basical crowd a group. The group of patrons is a social group, and the group of the preserved is a collection as the form of materials.
In order to transform the crowd of people who don’t use the library to the group who uses it needs not only to form the group of patrons but to try to organize the collection of books rich in contents, corresponding the group of patrons.
The combination of the group of patrons and then the group of collection is considered nucleus of the activity for public library to carry out.

Reflecting the conventional education of library science, I compared it with documentation, management of information and management of documents similar to library science. We find that the core of library science is Retrieval system or Secondary communication of which functions are communication and memory. In addition Retrieval system is analyzed in three functions; search of information, storage of information, organization of information, and through them there is identification of information. On the basis of the above view, I settle the required subjects; (1) Communication (2) Search of Information (3) Prepareation of Materials (4) organization of Materials (5) Management of Information activities (6) Practice.

We can think three aspects which are approached by psychology. First point is the problem of a librarian as a proffession, second point is the problem of “labor efficiency in library business”, third point is the problem of reading psychology.
(1) Here we must consider the differences of views of occupation between Japan and America. But a librarian has been considered as sinecure or chores. Especially it is important in Japan that we see characters of autism in applicants of librarian. In addition we should consider the librarianship, philosophy of librarian and moral.
(2) In our country it is first consideration to promote efficiency of business, but we must not make light of the human element, and not loss the meaningful relationship, then librarianship will turn to a vocation from a profession.
(3) While reading search is a extensive approach, the reading background of individual and personality formation are intensive research, for this purpose, we must rely upon psychology, general semantics, clinical psychology, pathography and bibliotheraphy.

Much doubts arise in the Nippon Cataloguing Rules, 1952, concerning with the collections and series on practice. It has the rules that the main entry is made under the first mentioned author even when there are more than four authors, while it has also other rules which permits that a compiler or an editor can also be entered under the main entry same as the author. As a result, at present, these rules are left in confusion.
At the IFLA International Conference on Cataloging Principles which was held at Paris in 1961, the rules relating to the works of the joint authorship were revised: the authorship was established and it was differentiated from an editor and a compiler. Subjecting to the idea of the statement of the Paris Conference, JLA Committee on Cataloging is making a draft of the revised cataloging rules.

The purpose of this Survey is to make clear the real state of housewives' life and reading in Danchi. Housewives in Danchi are relatively young (26-30 years), have a high educational career and time to spare. But they are not remarkable about the concerning of reading, compared with the concern about mass-media, in addition contents of reading are related to house life. But their volition to read is strong, the chief reason why they don't use a library is that they have little time to read, there is no library at hand and yet filled the volition to read with borrowing them from neighbourings. On this point it seems that they become good users of library.

This is a part of the study in the application of techniques of business analysis to the appraisal of library contribution to the operational results of its mother institution.
A special library, in the modern economic society, should be worth investing department for its mother institution or business organization, apart from its cultural value as a library for the community or the society in general. It has been impossible, however, or at least very difficult to make the value of its contributions clearly expressed by merely presenting, comparing or scrutinizing the conventionarily prepared library statistics. Series of processing on those statistics are required for such evaluation to be convincing.
In this paper, suggestions are put forth for preparation of balance sheets for library operations analysis with special reference to the operations results of the research, experimental, business or administrative institutions.
