With a view of encouraging a taste for a better quality of fiction a supply of the list of the thousand best novels was obtained. This list was prepared with great care by the public library of Newark, New Jersey. Copies were suspended in the fiction stacks of the main building and in the branches. Other copies were placed on sale at the desks at a nominal sum. With the exception of a few titles recently out of print all the titles listed were pur- chased if not already on our shelves. The experiment has proved successful and a decided interest on the part of the public is reported by all the assistants.
The branches established in Wollaston and at Quincy Point in the closing months of 1919 have shown a healthy development. The former has assumed an importance equal to that of either of the older branches. The Quincy Point branch, while doing some-
285

what less work, has been decidedly useful in meeting the needs of the men working in the Fore River shipyard. Technical works of a great variety have been provided and are freely used. Both branches are greatly appreciated by the communities which they serve.
At various times requests have come from South Quincy for a collection of books in that section. In April a small branch was opened in Malnati's hall, under the care of Miss Baxter. It has been open to the public three afternoons and three evenings each week. Judging by the figures it is less than half as important as the other branches. Viewed in the light of the complete lack of recreational facilities of the neighborhood it assumes more import- ance. The chairs are filled each evening with readers and the present quarters are entirely inadequate.
Toward the end of December a few shelves were installed in a room of the Francis Parker school at Norfolk Downs, and a few juvenile books were loaned. Full book service was not started owing to the delay in the arrival of shelving. With the opening of this branch the last large centre of population in the city will be within one-half mile of a branch.
We have kept in close contact with Miss Shanahan and later with Miss Perry in their Americanization work for the Quincy public schools. Needed books have been provided upon their recommendation. Classes have been brought to the library and its resources explained. We may mention in this connection that the use of books in Italian, French and Syrian have been in especial demand. These collections have been enlarged when possible, and a few volumes in Polish and Yiddish have been added for the first time as an experiment. We have also books in three or four other foreign languages which are more or less active. I am con- vinced that the library does much toward making the foreign- born citizen feel at home when he is quietly made to feel welcome to the use of its resources. As in previous years we have been greatly assisted in the work by Miss Maud J. Campbell, Director of Work with Foreigners for the Free Public Library Commission.
I wish to quote two remarks recently made to me in person. A gentleman said, "I make my living investigating offices and pointing out where time and energy may be saved. I dropped into
287
REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF PUBLIC LIBRARY
one of your branches the other night and the thing that struck me was the easy way I could pick out a book, get it charged and get out." Again a lady on returning a book said: "That book is a day or two overdue and I am sorry. You have so few rules that I regret to break one of them." Librarians are nearly enough human to be pleased with praise. But the remarks pleased for a deeper reason. They gave assurance that in a measure at least the library is attaining one of its definite aims,- to make it as easy as possible for the people of the community to obtain the books which they need. Every effort has been made to make books accessible. Any book that is circulated at the Central building will be carried to any branch on request on any of the thrice-a-week deliveries. A bor- rower's card is equally good in any part of the system. The purchase of a small car in March has greatly helped in making possible this more extended service.
It is a matter of pride to me that we have again circulated more books among the children than among the adults. The twelve per cent difference is still greater than that of 1919. Miss Reed in the Children's Room has constantly aimed to keep the standard of book selections high and we believe that permanent tastes for better reading are being formed. Three new schools have received collections, Montclair, Daniel Webster and Francis Parker. Com- bined, the eight schools now served make a larger use of books than does any single one of our branches. Additional light is thrown upon our relations with the schools by the following extracts.
Miss Bishop of the Government School at Quincy Point in a talk recently given before the Pickwick Club on "New Methods in Education" said: "In the application of the problem-project method which, up to the present time, has probably been more generally used throughout the schools of Quincy than in any other city of the state, many books of reference are necessary and our public library has promoted the development of this method by placing special collections in the rooms as needed."
In an address to the Framingham Normal School last month, Miss Dellicker, Grammar Supervisor of the Quincy Schools, referring to the relation between the schools and the local library, said: "I feel that the best piece of work done for the schools by the Public Library during the past year was the devising of a sys-
288
CITY OF QUINCY
tem of cards countersigned by the pupil's teacher and admitting children of the grades to the reference department heretofore reserved for adults."
The Public Library of Boston has laid us under heavy obliga- tion during the past year. Scarcely a week has passed in which we have not received one or more volumes especially requested by our borrowers. The loans are usually in line with some special interest of the reader and represents a service value out of all proportion to the mere figures in which they would be expressed. We are sadly limited in the size of our collection having less than fifty thousand volumes. If denied the generosity of our richly equipped neighbor our work would distinctly suffer.
The relations with the Staff have been uninterruptedly pleas- ant. The Staff meetings which have been held twice each month except when pressure of work prevented have continued to develop harmony and to unify effort. The general good health of the assist- ants has been a matter for rejoicing. The total absence for illness has been less than the twelve days allowed each. There have been few changes. In April, Miss Whittemore left to accept a position in the Business Administration Department of the Widener Library. In November, Miss Cochrane resigned after a service of twenty- five years to go to the same institution. November first, Miss Kathleen Ainey came to us from the Public Library of Waterbury, Connecticut, to fill the position, of Executive Assistant. Her previous training and experience have enabled her to relieve me of many of the duties which have been added by our rapidly enlarging system. In November, Miss Files came to the Delivery Desk of the Central building from the Wollaston branch and Miss Vickery assumed the duties of the latter place.
There is much of promise in the year ahead. I believe that the members of the Staff as well as myself look forward to it with enthusiasm.
Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF WOODWARD INSTITUTE
Gentlemen: I herewith submit the annual report of Woodward Institute.
Since the last report a change has taken place in the manage- ment of the school. In June Superintendent Barbour felt obliged to give up the supervision of this school, owing to pressure of duties connected with the administration of the public schools of the city, and his resignation was accepted with regret by the Board of Direc- tors. The management of the school was then placed in the hands of the Principal under the control of a supervisory committee consisting of three members of the Board of Directors.
At a joint meeting of the Board of Directors and the Board of Trustees it was decided to paint the buildings located on the school lot, and to make such other repairs as were immediately necessary, the cost of the same to be defrayed out of the surplus fund. These repairs were made during the summer vacation under the direction of the Principal. Repairs within the building will be required in the near future, in order to keep the plant in a condition suitable for use.
In June four teachers resigned for various reasons. Their positions were filled only after a diligent search. It was judged expedient to condense the Physical Training course into two days a week. A skillful and experienced teacher was secured for this position, under whose guidance the plan is working very success- fully. Without exception the new teachers are fully meeting expec- tations, and the entire corps is rendering faithful and efficient service. A general increase of salaries was necessarily made, but they are still below what is being paid by schools of similar standing, in order to secure and retain experienced teachers of the desired grade.
The present condition of the school is generally satisfactory. A spirit of harmony and cooperation prevails among teachers and
298
299
REPORT OF WOODWARD INSTITUTE
pupils. Two factors are essential to progress in every good school. First, a well trained, earnest student body willing to work for itself, as well as to be taught; and second, an efficient, skillful, and enthusiastic corps of teachers possessed of that indefinable, but indispensable, human quality called aptitude for teaching. When these two essentials are present, each serving as an inspiration to the other, improvement in grade of scholarship, and more constant and punctual attendance, which are the ends in view, can be con- fidently expected.
The system of mid-year promotions, which is in use in the Quincy public schools, automatically shuts out from this school some who would otherwise attend. Since it is inexpedient for us with our limited teaching force to form new classes in the middle of the year, our pupils must be drawn from those who graduate from the grammar schools in June. Notwithstanding this handi- cap, the enrollment is a little larger than it has been for the past year or two, and is about as large as the building can comfortably accommodate. Scholarship is more desirable in a school of this character than a large enrollment.
The prize offered annually by the Alumnae Association to the senior class for the best essay upon an assigned subject was awarded to Myrtle A. Parker of the class of 1920.
Respectfully submitted,
HORACE W. RICE.

DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH
LITERATURE
The first two years of the course in literature are spent in reading carefully, but without attempting detailed analysis and criticism, as much of the world's best literature as the time will allow. The books are selected because they are adapted to the minds of the readers and are worth reading. They include not only English classics, but good translations from the literature of various nations, and cover many subjects. There are three distinct aims in the course: (1) To teach the students to read intelligently and enjoyably; (2) to develop in them a taste for good literature; (3) to lay a broad foundation for the subsequent study and appreciation of the English classics selected for the third and fourth years. An outline history of English literature, supplemented by a study of English poets, completes the four years' course.
COMPOSITION
The work in composition is correlated with the course in literature - narration, description, exposition, and argument, each taken in turn. The course is designed to aid pupils in ex- pressing themselves clearly and logically in oral as well as in written form. Fortnightly themes are required during all four years. These formal compositions are supplemented by frequent classroom exercises in dictation, letter-writing and outlining. During the fourth year, formal argument is studied, together with preparation and practice in debating.
The pupils are urged to write from their own experience, to write often, and to acquire the habit of using simple, correct, idiomatic English.
