HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY
A few considerations respecting the active acquisition of materials suggest themselves.
(A) Hearty co-operation and co-ordination in aim and method are desirable. Groups of individuals organ- ized locally can often secure the loan or donation of articles which owners are loathe to let go out of their immediate neighborhoods. Valley Forge for Revolution- ary history, the Schwenkfelder Historical Library for history of the Perkiomen Region, Conshohocken for its special field, as well as others, will doubtless achieve what the county society could accomplish only with difficulty, if at all. In the same way, the county society may be able to attain ends beyond the power of the His- torical Society of Pennsylvania or the Pennsylvania State Library. The county historical library, ought, however, to be a clearing-house with regard to county history for these local and state libraries, in order that the student may learn at a glance what the other collections can offer.
(B) There are men who do not hesitate to go into historic communities, pry data from their setting, and, for love of money, sell them into strange communities where their historic value is almost, if not totally, de- stroyed. Deeds, even unrecorded deeds, have become merchandise to be scattered-an inexcusable vandalism. Each member of the society ought to be a magnet to draw for the society data within his or her sphere of influence, and counteract this baneful commercialism by promoting the historic sense.
(C) Where possible, originals ought to be secured. Where originals cannot be had, transcripts or photostats should be made.
Where these are impracticable, the sources should at least be catalogued.
So much has been lost, destroyed, or seques- tered, that it ought to be the maxim of the

A FEW THOUGHTS AND QUESTIONS
society, "Everything is grist for our mill." To collect under any selective rule may defeat its own purpose. The museum committee can determine what may be serviceable for ex- hibition purposes, and the rest can be pre- served for research purposes. The danger of the historical rooms becoming mere dumping- ground is not very serious. Fine museums are very instructive and are a good hunting- ground for historians, but a conscientious his- torian deeply delights, also, in rolling up his sleeves, delving into chests and trunks, gently lifting dust-begrimed packages of papers, tattered and torn, earmarked with the un- mistakable evidences of age and originality, tenderly smoothing out the folds and creases, and mentally pigeon-holing the facts estab- ished by these. While building up fine display collections, historical societies cannot afford to ignore original data and material, however dusty, begrimed or uninviting.
In addition, there are probably county records in some of the county offices that could be entrusted to the historical society as loans, without any prejudice to the operation of the offices themselves. Officials are not always historians, and may not feel called upon to give time gratuitously for such work. Tax lists and abandoned indexes suggest themselves as ex- amples.
The purpose of the Society, "the promotion of the study of history, local, national and universal," is broad, elastic, inclusive, and makes one think of being hitched to a star. This society does not belong to the class called "mutual admiration societies," members meeting to amuse and admire one another; it can have no time for these things if it lives up to its ideal.

HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY
Among the ways of furthering our purpose are:
(A) Being enthusiastic historians ourselves. Painted fires will not make a pot boil; nor will artificial peaches satisfy hunger. To think and talk history will cause others to think and talk the same way.
(B) Collecting data for the Society at all times at all places of all people.
(C) Helping local papers to secure for publication interesting historical articles.
(D) Raising money to be spent in improving library equipment.
(E) Bringing friends to the library, and teaching them how to use the library.
(F) Helping to make card catalogues of what the library contains.
(G) A specfic way would be to do what has been done in other places-enter into arrangements with the school authorities of Norristown so that students can do certain work in the library for which credit will be given in their courses. This would be laboratory work like that in physics or chemistry or botany, and would bene- fit the student and increase the value of the library.
The subject of preservation of the materials of history is a very important one and in the case of our society, a very serious one. The society rooms are not fireproof, cannot economically be made fireproof, and are not, as a whole, so well adapted to their purpose as they might be. The Bucks County society exemplies by its building what this society ought to be thinking about. If the society is to grow, not merely exist, and to approximate more nearly its avowed purpose, it should provide fire- proof quarters, including fire-proof cases and shelves, a good swivel chair with a live wire in it, a larger audience room, improved working facilities for students, better

A FEW THOUGHTS AND QUESTIONS
janitor service for the rooms, more detailed classifica- tion, cataloguing and organization of its materials.
The foregoing considerations seem to warrant a few ques- tions as a suggestion towards a special society program for the season :
(1) Would it be in place to make the necessary prepara- tions during the coming winter to put up the society fireproof building next summer?
(2) Would it be worthwhile to enter upon a campaign to add one thousand names to the list of active members before April 1, 1923 ?
(3) Would it be a wise step to begin a county-wide canvass at once, for the loan or donation of historical materials to the library, after completion of the fireproof build- ing ?
(4) Would it be timely to take up with the proper school authorities the question of entering into arrangements between the school authorities and the society, so that certain designated pupils could do work in the library for which credit could be given on the required courses for graduation ?
(5) Should not the society, through its delegation, raise the question at the annual meeting of the Federation of Historical Societies in January, whether regulations have been formulated determining the special fields of activities of the various societies, and if no action has been taken, respectfully request that the subject receive the consideration of the Federation ?
