SALARIES OF TEACHERS.


Although the expenses of the School Department have overrun the appropriations, two facts are to be remembered. First, that the Board was not consulted in making the estimate for the present year, and second that the reduction which could be made would only show for about one-quarter until the next year. Such a reduction was made in salaries to the amount of $1720, making a diminution in the amount of sala- ries paid of more than $3000 within three years. The apportionment of the reduction was more equal and generally satisfactory than that made in 1875, although it was larger in amount. It was as great as


24


was deemed best, our present corps of teachers being such as it would be hard to replace. At all events, it was as much as could or ought to have been done in one year.


IN CONCLUSION.


In the schools of Newburyport there is noticeable the medium in the matter of salaries and in the methods of supervision and conduct. We neither pay the great salaries which are paid in some cities, ' nor are they so low that we cannot secure the servi- ces of competent and efficient teachers. In the con- duct of the schools the same happy mean is observed. We have no superintendent, and leave much to the individual taste, capacity and methods of the several teachers. At the same time there is not the loose- ness of management which is observed in many of the country district schools. We do not prescribe the disposition of every hour and minute of the day dur- ing the hours of instruction, nor make every pupil the equal of every other pupil without regard to char- acter or capacity, nor do we leave the course of in- struction or its methods without supervision from the school board, and requirement of faithful work on the part of both teachers and pupils. The less import- ant matters are given the least time and attention, and the more important are more attended to. We believe that so far as fitting the youth of this city for the active duties of life, our school course will com- pare favorably with the best managed schools of the commonwealth, and that they are very much above the average. This we can say in no spirit of boasting,


25


since their present standing is the result of the labors of a long succession of teachers and school boards, whose work we have continued and endeavored, so far as in us lay, to improve. No great and violent changes are made, and such are inexpedient in a sys- tem which is working well, not only in our own opin- ion, but as appears in the published reports of the State Board of Education. In both economy and ef- ficiency we have confidence to commend the manage- ment of the school department of our city.

TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT


OF THE


DIRECTORS OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY


OF THE


CITY OF NEWBURYPORT.


CITY OF NEWBURYPORT


MARIQUE MDCCCLI


NEWBURYPORT : WILLIAM H. HUSE & CO., PRINTERS, 42 STATE STREET, 1879.


PUBLIC LIBRARY.


IN BOARD OF DIRECTORS, Nov. 25th, 1878.


ORDERED, That the Report of the Committee on Library be accepted and the names of the members of this board be appended thereto, and the same be transmitted to the City Council, agreeably to the requirements of section 5th of the Ordinance concerning the Public Library.


Attest,


H. A. TENNEY, Secretary.


DIRECTORS' REPORT.


The Directors of the Public Library, in making their annual report at this time, have but little to add to the report of the Librarian, which is herewith presented. No donations, excepting a few books, have been re- ceived during the past year, and the usefulness of the Library cannot be materially increased until a larger amount of funds is at the disposal of the Directors.


The Trustees of the Peabody Fund, with the means at their disposal, are enabled to place a goodly num- ber of useful and valuable books in their department of the Library, but the income of the Sawyer and Bradbury funds, which is all that is within the control of the Directors, is wholly insufficient to meet the de- mand for the popular literature of the times. It is really not more than sufficient to furnish and renew those popular works which maintain their reputation for a succession of years and are soon worn out by constant use.


Experience proves that this is the class of reading which enters most extensively into all ranks of socie- ty, and even among the best educated and the most active business people. The cause of this is to be


4


found in the fact that the great majority read more for entertainment and pleasure than for instruction; and generally the time which they devote to reading, they do not desire to spend in laborious thought and careful, critical investigation. It becomes of the ut- most importance, therefore, that this department of lit- erature should be the subject of special attention in filling the shelves of a library, and that a judicious discrimination should be exercised in blending instruc- tion with amusement. By a proper guidance and su- perintendence, the walks of literature and amusement may be extended into usefulness.


There are some who are disposed to prohibit atten- tion to light literature, but the history of all civiliza- tion proves this to be a vain effort. It is called for by the necessities of human nature, and is a field which, as was said by an old divine, if not occupied in ad- vance by good men, will soon be cultivated by the devil.


Works of imagination have always played a most important part in the life and education of the people. Witness the dramatists and poets of Greece. Like- wise the Bible makes constant appeal to the imagina- tion in the lighter Songs of Solomon, the Book of Proverbs, the sometimes terrible but generally beauti- ful Psalms, the sublime imagery of Job, and the lofty visions of the Prophets. Later on, the Founder of Christianity appeals to it, in the parables, in inculcat- ing the best religion the world has ever known, with its self-denial and its glorious hopes of the future.


It will be well, whenever the funds of the Library are sufficient, to place this department in the hands


5


of some wise and discriminating mind, who will have time to examine the publications of the day, so as to separate the wheat from the chaff.


The fund which was set apart for the purpose of printing a full and revised catalogue having reached an amount which, it was supposed, would warrant the beginning of the work, it was commenced a few months ago, and will probably be completed before the close of the year. In conformity to the fashion of the times, the catalogue has been somewhat extend- ed in regard to names and titles, for the supposed more convenient reference of readers; and, in conse- quence, the size of the volume and its cost will be somewhat greater than was contemplated when the work was begun.


The catalogue will, without doubt, greatly increase the value of the Library to readers, and the Directors hope it will save them from numerous enquiries which have been made of them heretofore, why certain books were not placed in the Library, when not unfrequent- ly these books have for years been slumbering, un- called for, on the shelves.

LIBRARIAN'S REPORT.


TO THE COMMITTEE ON LIBRARY :


GENTLEMEN-In compliance with the requirements of the rules and regu- lations of the library, I herewith present a report of "its condition and in- crease" for the year which has just drawn to a close.


At the commencement of the year the library contained 17,387 volumes, and 441 have been added since that time, which makes the whole number now in the library 17,828 volumes. The additions have been as follows, viz :


From the Sawyer Fund 205 vols. .


" Peabody Fund


142


43 4


By Donations


51


66


441


Fifty-six volumes are to be deducted from those purchased, which have been used to replace as many worn out books on the shelves.


Little needs to be said in relation to the working operations of the library, as it is believed that, having been so long accustomed to its adopted routine, our citizens do not fail to find that the treasures of thought and mental re- creation, contained within the alcoves, have been made as available to their wants as can reasonably be desired. Especially will such an assurance be felt, when the new and revised edition of the catalogue of the entire library, which is now nearly completed, is placed before them.


From an examination of the shelves it is found that eight volumes are not returned to their places, but having been sent for, it is expected that most, if not all of them, will yet be recovered.


The circulation of books of the library has been quite as extensive during the past year as in any previous year, and it can also be said that as large a share of the higher class of reading has been selected, and that the books have been quite as thoroughly perused as has been the case heretofore.


Four hundred and twenty names of new applicants for the privileges of the library have been added to the rules and regulations during the past year.


Respectfully submitted,


H. A. TENNEY, LIBRARIAN.
