Shortly before the end of the year the Wollaston Women's Club organized a well-planned campaign to raise, by popular subscription, the sum of $3,500, to purchase land on the northerly side of Beale street, nearly opposite the Masonic Building, to present to the Trustees as a site for a new branch building. The location is ideal and will make the Library accessible to a large population. Under such auspices the campaign was, of course, a success, and on January 17th, a deed of the land was delivered to the Trustees. Plans of the new building which had tentatively

been prepared, are now being completed, and, as soon as weather conditions permit, work will begin. The Crane Memorial Fund will be drawn upon to defray the cost, and, incidentally, a saving will be effected from the annual city appropriation of about $1,000, now paid for rent.
The phenomenal and increasing circulation of the Library under our very capable Librarian, Mr. Temple, far surpasses that of many cities and towns having a much larger number of books. It is certainly an achievement of which we may well be proud to have seen the circulation of 167,000 in 1918, the year before he came to the Library, in- crease last year to 372,000. Lack of books alone prevented an even greater increase.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE W. ABELE, Chairman, ELIZABETH H. ALDEN, Secretary.

REPORT OF LIBRARIAN
To the Trustees of the Thomas Crane Public Library:
I submit below the Librarian's report for the year end- ing December 31, 1921.
In common with public libraries throughout the coun- try we have enjoyed an increased activity during the past year. The circulation of books which reached a total of 372,437, represents an increase of 123 per cent. during the past three years. In spite of the fact that seven branches have been required to reach the scattered portions of this city of less than fifty thousand residents we find that, dis- regarding fractions, we have circulated each of our books eight times; that we have loaned eight books to each in- habitant, and that we have done it at a cost to the city of eight cents per volume circulated. Libraries are few and far between that have done any one of these three things. I do not wish to appear self-complacent about what the library has accomplished. No one can be as sensible as I anı myself of the many things that the library has failed to do. It is especially discouraging to try to develop reference work among a scattered population ; and we have failed to do as much bibliographical work as we could wish. But, given the appropriation at our disposal and our unusual geographical problems, we have rendered the limit of possible service. We have come to the end of our expansion unless we can obtain more money for books. The fact that we have turned over each book in the library an average of eight times in spite of the unused books that have accumulated in our fifty years of existence, while the general average for libraries is probably less than four, is only another way of stating that we have not books enough to meet our needs. It would take considerable search to find a library that is circulating as many books that does
328
329
REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF PUBLIC LIBRARY
not have a collection from two to three times as large as our own. We are wearing out books at present faster than we are adding them. A constant chorus of complaint goes up from the borrowers served through the branches to the effect that their particular branch is neglected in the book purchases; and the shelves of many of them present an appearance suggesting that of trees denuded of their leaves in winter. Every effort is made Ito meet requests by a thrice a week exchange of books between the central build- ing and the branches. But this comes far short of ade- quately meeting the situation. Unless we can supply these needs we must cease growing, just at a time when interest in our institution is obviously deepening.
The work with Miss Perry's Americanization classes has progressed along the lines laid down last year. Our methods of welcoming the various classes at 'the nearest branch and making them feel that the library belongs to them in a true sense has been commented upon by the State authorities in charge of Americanization work as "quite unique"; and it has met with their warm com- mendation on more than one occasion. The interest and enthusiasm developed at times becomes thrilling. Probably half of the classes become permanent borrowers. They are encouraged to read English books as far as possible but over 3,000 books in ten foreign languages have been loaned during the year.
Owing to the opening of new branches the work with four of the schools has been discontinued, leaving only four buildings to be served by deposits. It has been im- possible to buy many new titles for these collections and the use of them has fallen off perceptibly. The work done in the library with the pupils from the Coddington school makes it a matter of regret that the other grade schools are not near enough to enable their pupils to enjoy the same instruction. It is also unfortunate that the High School pupils can no longer be spared from their study periods to make the visits to the library as in the past. These visits
330
CITY OF QUINCY
have helped in no small measure to create the sense of being at home in the library that will be an asset in all later years.
Our staff has suffered many changes. Miss Kivioja and Miss Murphy left in May to be married. Our good wishes were mingled with regrets at the termination of several years of faithful service. Miss Hyland was mar- ried in June. We count it great good fortune that she has consented to continue her work as cataloger on half time. The last week in December, Miss Vickery left us, after a year's service, to accept a better paying position in the Newton Public Library. In the same week Miss Reed an- nounced her decision to resign and take up library work among children in the Boston City Hospital. The work has long attracted her ; and we can do no less than wish her success in the new field, at the same time being grateful for the five years of her signally useful service in the Children's Room. In spite of all these changes we have at no time been seriously embarrassed for help. Younger assistants trained in the library have been ready to take places as soon as vacated. One member of the staff has come to us from the outside during the year. Miss Isabelle King began work here in August as cataloger and general assistant. She graduated from the Pratt Institute School of Library Science in the class of 1921, after three years' experience in the library of her home town, Lake Forrest, Illinois.
We live in a city that shows itself eager for books. During the past two and one-half years we have enrolled as borrowers, 37 per cent. of the population. We have a well equipped central library building of unusual beauty. We have a loyal and harmonious staff. Before this is set in type we shall have the city covered with eight branches. We lack nothing for our ends but the one thing that pri- marily constitutes a good library-an adequate supply of books.
Respectfully submitted,
TRUMAN R. TEMPLE, Librarian.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF WOODWARD INSTITUTE
Gentlemen: I herewith submit the annual report of Woodward Institute.
The work of the year has proceeded in a quiet, orderly manner without anything occurring to interrupt the gen- eral harmony and uniform progress. The feeling of unrest and the inability to return rapidly to stable conditions, which have been so noticeable everywhere, could not fail to be reflected in the young people, since they cannot be expected to display greater power of self control than do their elders. This instability of purpose and lack of appli- cation are gradually disappearing, and should soon give place to increased effort and greater ambition to improve the school work.
The enrollment of the school is a little larger than that of last year, notwithstanding the fact that an unusually large class was graduated in June. Without doubt the membership would be much larger, if conditions permitted us to follow the system in use in the public schools of the city, and admit a class in the middle of the year.
The teaching force remains the same as last year, with one exception. Miss Margaret F. Evans, a graduate of Wellesley College, has been appointed to the Mathematics position left vacant by the resignation of Miss Sally Steele last June.
Preparation for college has become a very serious problem in the high schools. Owing to the crowded con- dition of the colleges, only a limited number of the most promising and best prepared applicants can hope to be admitted. To take pupils from the grammar schools and prepare them in four years to pass the rigid college en- trance examinations is practically impossible, except in the
338
339
REPORT OF WOODWARD INSTITUTE
case of a very brilliant pupil who is physically and men- tally able, and also willing, to do the necessary work. Reg- ular college preparatory schools either maintain a five, or even six, year course, or require one or more years in a high school as a condition of admission. It should be noted that the school year, nominally of forty weeks' dura- tion, is reduced to barely thirty-seven weeks, after the numerous holidays and off days have been deducted.
Good teaching, of course, is essential in the class room, and fairness to the pupil requires that it be furnished him. It is equally true that the best of teaching alone does not produce the scholar. In our effort to make school life attractive to our pupils, we are in danger of placing too much emphasis upon the teaching of the lesson, and too little upon the mastery of it by the pupil himself. For the teacher to explain away all difficulties is admittedly more agreeable, both to teacher and class, but it does not pro- mote the mental growth of the pupil; on the contrary, it tends to make him incapable of serious effort and initiative, and creates an inability to retain in memory the funda- mental facts of a subject, without which progress is im- possible. Interest in school work depends primarily upon a conscious ability to master its difficulties as they appear. To develop this feeling of power, to promote the desire to personally overcome the difficulties of a subject, to substi- tute the desire to work in place of a desire for amusement is the greatest service we can render to our pupils, since this is exactly what they will be obliged to do, if they hope for success after they leave school.
The cost of maintenance during the year has slightly exceeded that of last year, owing to the necessary increase in salaries that was made at the beginning of the year. In other respects conditions are a little more favorable than those of the last two or three years.
The annual prize given by the Alumnae Association for the best essay upon an assigned subject written by a
340
CITY OF QUINCY
member of the senior class was awarded to Barbara M. McTear, of the class of 1921.
As a parting gift, the class of 1921 presented to the school a silver cup as a trophy to be competed for annually in the interclass basketball games.
Acknowledgment should also be made of the gift of a piano by Mrs. James Slade for use in the gymnasium to take the place of the old one long since past use.
