The land around the Jackman ravine, belonging to the late H. M. Jackman, containing about twenty-nine acres, being for sale, an effort was made to purchase the rights of the different heirs, but owing to our inability to come to any agreement as to price. except with three of them, we took the land according to the right granted the city in the acts of 1893, chapter 471, the city solicitor filing the necessary papers. Since then, from time to time, we have bought the rights of the other heirs without the necessity of any action in court.

ANNUAL REPORTS
The total amount paid for this land was $3,600, and it gives control of the entire watershed of the Jackman springs.
A careful survey of all the land owned by the city at the pumping station has been made by Mr. Percy M. Blake, and a large map of the same is on file at our office. Some preliminary surveys have also been made in the Jackman ravine, looking toward an increase in our water supply; a step which your commissioners recognize as a coming necessity.
Our offer to the poor department of the privilege to cut wood from land at the pumping station for use of that department has been accepted, and this work is now being done by them under our direction ; this will be a benefit to us as well as them, and ought to be the means of saving the city considerable money.
Needed repairs have been made to the pumping station, and a new condenser installed. The grounds have been kept in the usual careful manner, and every- thing in this department of the work is in good condi- tion. The following is the pumping report for the year.

DIRECTORS' REPORT.
NEWBURYPORT, December 29, 1902.
To His Honor the Mayor and City Council :
The directors of the public library are gratified to be able to report that the library is in a condition as to funds for the purchase of books far more prosperous than could have been expected in its early days. The number of books on its shelves is largely increased every year, and, what is more to the credit of its manage- ment, the public is more and more using the library for the profit and delight of readers. The number of books taken out increases in greater proportion than the in- crease of population. It has been our aim, and the effort of the librarian, to make the library an efficient and useful supplement to our public school system, and the co-operation of the school committee and of the teachers is desired in aid of this endeavor. We commend to your attention the report of the librarian which is offered herewith, as a part of our report, in
302
ANNUAL REPORTS
which we are heartily acquiescent, and which more fully discusses matters in relation to the condition and effects of the library.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN.
GENTLEMEN : The year ending November 30, 1902, with which this the forty-seventh annual report of the ibrary deals, finds 38,232 volumes in stock, besides thousands of pamphlets which have not been classified and arranged. A year ago at this date the number of volumes was 36,884. There were added, during the year, 1,382, and withdrawn from circulation, as defect- ive or unfit for further use, 205. Subsequently, 171 of this number were replaced by new copies, thus making the total of 38,232.
The circulation of books for home use during this time shows a gratifying increase, and is evidence that the public is continually growing in appreciation of the facilities which the library furnishes for instruction or entertainment. The total number of books withdrawn was 43,315, an increase of 3,908 for the year. The per- centage of increase for 1901 over the preceding year was about four, but the percentage over 1901 is but a little less than ten. By comparing the annual circula- tion with that of ten years ago, it is found that over 27 per cent more books were withdrawn the past year
304
ANNUAL REPORTS
than in 1892. It is inevitable, of course, in a free general library, that the call for books of fiction should by far exceed that for those of a more substantial nature. While it has been so low as 73 and a fraction at this library, it has also been above 79 per cent; still it is interesting to note that while about double the number of novels as formerly are being annually added, the proportion to other books called for keeps at about the same ratio, year by year. As you are well aware, judgment and care are used to add to the library what seems to be the best in this class of literature. Curtail- ment would result in a decrease of the number who now use the library, as a comparison of the figures just men- tioned indicates, and out of so many some must procure lasting good and improvement, though primarily at- tracted to the library because it furnishes so freely books merely of entertainment and light reading.
There are now 2,946 registered borrowers, who hold cards allowing them to draw any book not retained for reference use only, and of this number 431 have green cards, so called, in addition, which exclude fiction. Thirty-two public school teachers are allowed each ten special cards, making the total number of cards out 3,697, an increase from 2,075 a year ago.
The library has been open for the delivery of books every day, Sundays and legal holidays excepted, 305 in all, and the daily circulation of books has averaged 142, ranging from 31, on February 17, to 316, on Jan- uary 18.
Among the books which have been added to the per- manent stock of the library since the last report, the
305
PUBLIC LIBRARY
attention of parents, school teachers, and others inter- ested in education, is called to the large proportion especially adapted to or prepared for young readers. Under the head " fiction," of the 459 new volumes, 143, or practically one-third, have the letter "j" prefixed to the call numbers in the catalogue, thus denoting that they are "juveniles." Our young folks' recreative reading is not selected at hap-hazard or by ordering from the publishers' catalogues, to be put into circula- tion without further examination, and while of course the reputation of author and publisher go a long way as an initiative, the final decision is made only after an inspection of the book. To faithfully perform this duty is no easy task. The youngster of today is a keen critic, and he or she is discriminating in a certain way, partic- ularly in separating the dull and stupid from the bright and interesting. Few outside those directly interested realize what a wide and varied literature for the young has grown up within recent years. But little which under ordinary circumstances would get by the doors of a public library is harmful; the larger portion may be set down as neutral - a factor for neither good nor ill; and the balance is positively beneficial. The quickest way in which to make a child balk or shy is to try and drive home a moral truth with a club, as it were. For this reason the children's books of a generation ago, with very few exceptions, are dead. Of course this applies to all story books, more or less, but there are few authors of juveniles, or better, few juvenile books of the past now read to set off against the stories of Scott, Dickens, Thackeray, Dumas, and others of fifty
306
ANNUAL REPORTS
years ago or more. To select a book which will be of advantage to the receptive mind of the child, and which at the same time will arouse his attention and hold his interest, is a problem. The bad and the poor book we do not want under any circumstances, and the book which will not be read by the class it is designed for, because it fails to interest, is absolutely valueless as an investment, no matter how lofty its ideals and purposes. Aside from works of fiction, we have added many vol- umes for the young in science, art, and general liter- ature, prepared on their level of intelligence, even down to the lowest public school grades.
The library is also stronger than ever in books dealing with the teacher's science and art. It should be the aim, as it is clearly the function and duty, of the public library to provide every assistance in this line which the teacher can reasonably ask for, and such is the policy of our library. We are willing to keep up with the demand ; we are trying to keep ahead of and help create it. During this and the preceding year there have also been added many volumes on the fine arts and biograph- ical works on the masters, special impetus being given to this class of study by the art class of the Women's club.
In addition to books, the library has received since the last report three fine oil portraits. The first, a likeness of the late Colonel Samuel Swett, one of the original patrons of the library, is from the brush of the famous Gilbert Stuart, painted in 1806, and donated by a lady who requested that her name shall not appear in con- nection with the gift.
307
PUBLIC LIBRARY
The second is a portrait of the late Edward Strong Moseley, a director of the library for forty years, pre- sented by Charles W. and Frederick S. Moseley. The third is a portrait of William Cleaves Todd, founder of the reading room, the gift of a number of ladies and gentlemen who associated for the purpose, the names signed to the letter transmitted being those of F. S. Moseley, John N. Cushing, Julia M. Moseley, William H. Swasey, L. B. Cushing, Charles W. Moseley, F. A. Howe, Alice L. Atkinson, Henry B. Little, Elisha P. Dodge. These two portraits are the work of Robert Gordon Hardie.
The usefulness of the reading room continues to increase in value to the public, thanks to Mr. Todd, whose successive donations yield an income of $600 yearly, devoted to this purpose. There are now kept on file 38 daily publications, 38 weekly newspapers, 39 weekly publications of a literary, technical, or otherwise special nature, 67 domestic monthly publications of a general literary or specific class, and 24 foreign; in all 206 newspapers, class journals, monthly magazines, or quarterlies.

JOHN D. PARSONS, Librarian.
