I would recommend also that a large cupboard be built in the corridor of the Center schoolhouse for storing text- books, supplies, dinner baskets, janitor's equipment. This would be a great convenience and would not be very ex- pensive to construct.
At East Brimfield last spring the pupils under the di- rection of the superintendent set out a row of eight maple trees along the road in front of the schoolhouse. These all lived and should in future years add to the attractiveness of the place. I would recommend that the committee plan to spend a small sum on grading the yard at this school- house this season.

The following is a statement in regard to a portion of the bequest to the Town of Brimfield for the benefit of the Library by the Will of the late Ursula J. Shaw.
In addition to the cash received by the Will was a bond of the Central Loan and Land Co., of Emporia, Kansas, this bond was held in trust by Ralph W. Ellis Esq. of Springfield and was $500.00 in amount, and was divided equally between the Town of Brimfield and the Springfield Home for Aged Women.

The concern went in to the hands of receivers who gradually sold off the property and liquidated the indebted- ness. Whenever a dividend was declared the Trustee collected the amount and remitted it to the Town Treasurer and it was deposited by the Treasurer of the Library as addition to the principal of the Ursula J. Shaw fund in the following named Savings Banks, viz :

Librarian's Report
The progress of the library the past year is especially notable in two ways. An unusual number of exceptionally valuable books have been added by purchase and gifts, and the hospitality of the library as a place of gathering has been enjoyed by the women of the town for many conferences in the interests of home-making.
ADDITIONS OF BOOKS.
When the library was kept in the Town hall it received a bequest from Miss Ursula Shaw consisting of money she had acquired in teaching whose income should be devoted to the purchase of good books. Probably there has been no year when the additions of books would have appealed more to Miss Shaw's interest and met her approval to a greater degree than those that have been recently placed on the shelves, from her fund and other sources. Especially im- portant are the works on Religion, Ethics, Philosophy, So- ciology and Education in their relation especially to the de- velopment of children and the welfare of women, Civics and Biography.
CONFERENCES ON HOME-MAKING.
Visitors on entering the reading-room, which has often been compared to a living-room, always exclaim, "What a homelike place!" So it is appropriate that home-making conferences conducted by women of the town should be held about the big fire-place called the "Village hearthstone." It was largely due to the possession of such a spot with its spirit of hospitality that Brimfield was the town selected by the United States Department of Agriculture co-operating with Massachusetts Agricultural Colleges for the inaugura-
113
tion of a pioneer movement to assist women in rural homes by furnishing the services of an expert in home economics, to act as a home-making adviser. A group of women called together by the Brimfield Community Council met in the library in March and formally accepted the government's offer, and about 30 women were present at the first con- ference held with the adviser, Mrs. Horatio W. Dresser of Brookline the first day of April. Such conferences were held on alternate weeks for about three months, the subjects considered being those of kitchen-planning, kitchen-furnish- ing, the home laundry, food values, menus and balanced meals, food for children, school lunches and the moral train- ing of children. Mrs. Dresser accompanied her lectures with illustrative charts and syllabi of the subjects presented. The largest meeting was attended by about 40 women, and in the intervals between her lectures Mrs. Dresser visited, upon invitation, 40 homes to consider with the housewives their individual problems relating to the subjects of the con- ferences. After the discussion which followed each lecture, there was a social hour and light refreshments were served. The resources of the library on home economics and child- training consisting of bulletins from the United States De- partment of Agriculture and of books owned by the library, supplemented by a set borrowed from Massachusetts Agri- cultural College were drawn upon by women attending the conferences. In addition to their special purpose these meetings were valuable in calling together women from all parts of the town in a common interest.
Later in the summer, meetings were held with Miss Minnie Price who was appointed to take the position in July of home-making adviser of the Hampden County Improve- ment League. At these meetings the subjects of rural dis- trict nursing and an organized plan for having a hot dish with school lunches were taken up.
Upon the establishment of a "home committee" of the Brimfield Community Council, this committee organized in the library, and planned for monthly meetings on subjects relating to the home.
114
During July and August classes in basketry attended by women and girls were held in the library, most of the women in attendence being those who had been especially interested in the home-economics conferences.
GIFTS.
Mrs. Mary Knight Hyde of Ware has given a sum of money to be used in the construction of a suitable approach to the library of field stone to correspond with the material of which the library is built. Mr. Charles W. Stoughton of New York has generously contributed this architect's draw- ing for the approach whose plan includes a paved walk from the highway to the building to be supplemented by stone benches near the road and stone pedestals for larger flower jars near the porch. Mr. Stoughton has also given much time in supervision of the work. An approach of this kind will not only provide a substantial walk to replace the path of loose sand, but will combine with the building to form an artertic and unified structure. Mrs. Hyde has been bene- factor of the library by frequent gifts of money in addition to her permanent endowment fund and it is gratifying that there should be a permanent visible memorial of her interest and generosity.
Volumes have been given to the circulating department by Mr. George A. Bacon, Mr. Melven Booth, Mr. Horatio W. Dresser, Mrs. George W. Earle, Mrs. George M. Hitch. cock, Mrs. Joseph Lee, Mr. Charles E. Lombard, Massa- chusetts (through the Public Library Commission), Massa- chusetts Equal Suffrage Association, Miss Julia Perry, Mr. Charles W. Stoughton, Miss Grace W. Stoughton, United States, F. W. Whitridge and Miss E. H. Wood. The gift at different times of a large number of books, most of which are for children and young people, though the good offices of the Massachusetts Free Public Library Commission have formed very important additions to our resources. The gift from the author, Horatio W. Dresser, of volumes of his writings is highly appreciated as meeting a need of the library.
115
Subscriptions for periodicals have been received as fol- lows :
From Miss Laura Boorman, "The Craftsman;" Brim- field Equal Suffrage League, "The Woman's Journal ;" Miss A. E. Fisher, "Our Four Footed Friends ;" Miss Florence Harding, "American Forestry" and "National Geographic Magazine:" Mrs. F. Lincoln Peirce, "The Ladies' Home Journal." We have received "Our Dumb Animals" from the Society publishing it and the "Christian Science Senti- nel" and "Journal" for a part of the year.
Monthly bulletins of new books have been received from the Springfield City Library Association, the Chicopee Public Library, Westfield Atheneum, and Worcester Public Library. Lists of recommended books sent twice a year by the Woman's Education Association have been of great as- sistance in our selections as in previous years.
STATISTICS.
There have been added to the circulating department aside from the bound volumes of magazines, 272 volumes, of which 65 have been presented. Sixteen periodicals have been subscribed for, and nine presented.
The number of readers outside the library including vi- sitors, teachers and pupils whose homes are elsewhere is approximately 410.
The number of books read is approximately 6300, and of magazines 1200. These figures probably fall below those that would represent the actual use of the library as exact re- ports of the circulation of books exchanged among families living at a distance cannot be given, nor of the collection loaned to the agricultural department of the Academy.
HISTORICAL COLLECTION.
Valuable additions have been made by gifts to our col- lections of ancient books and local history material. Miss Julia T. Brown has given many old books collected by her father, the late Henry F. Brown, who contributed so much
116
to the Brimfield town history, and also photographs, draw- ings, documents, and other relics pertaining to the Brimfield of the past. An epaulet worn by a member of the Brimfield Rifle Company organized in 1828 is included in these relics. Miss Sarah Barrows of Sunderland, whose father, Eli Bar- rows a tailor in Brimfield made the uniforms for this com- pany, has given pieces of their materials. She has also given a beautiful, decorated pair of ancient bellows.
Letters have been received from W. T. Welles of Elm- wood, Ill., enclosing interesting documents pertaining to Brimfield's part in the Revolution, and other papers relating to local history. In one of these letters, Mr. Welles says that his grandfather, W. W. Thompson, moved to Illinois in 1837, and founded there the town of Brimfield, and that the town was settled by a good many people from the mother town and Northampton. One of the enclosed documents is a "declaration of independence" of Great Britain with Brim- field signatures affixed. Another is an auction bill advertis- ing the sale of the, "old fort romantically situated about a mile south of the meeting-house."
Frank H. Coolbroth has given a very rare old book printed in 1803, which is a narrative of a shipwreck in the "Gulph of Florida."
Marcus H. Rogers of Mill River has given a document pertaining to the church which was once in South Warren, when that district was the business center of the town of Weston, now Warren.
Henry S. Howe of Warren has given a paper pertaining to the affairs of the church in Brimfield over 100 years ago.
All of these relics are not merely interesting as curiosi- ties but valuable in throwing light upon the past life of our community.
Miss Julia E. Perry of Southbridge has presented Hin- ton's "History and Topography of the United States" in two volumes published in
117
OUTLYING DISTRICTS.
Mr. Merritt S. Dunham has continued to destribute books from his home in East Brimfield until his recent re- moval from town. Mr. Dunham's generous services in mak- ing special trips to the library, selecting books for all ages and opening his home for their distribution have extended over a good many years and there is much indebtedness to him for his successful efforts.
Mrs. Chaffee who distributed books from her home in West Brimfield in 1914 was obliged to discontinue her ser- vice after February of last year. It is desirable that per- manent arrangements be made for giving both these sec- tions of the town the benefits of the public library.
