AUDITOR'S REPORT.


The bonds of various town officers are on file with the Select- men.


The books of the Treasurer, Water Commissioners, Tax Collec- tor, Overseers of Poor, are correctly kept.


Vouchers are on file for money expended.


I find that the interest on town notes belonging to the library fund, has not been paid for two years, owing to the fact that the notes cannot be found, they never having reached the hands of the present treasurer or his immediate predecessor.

ANNUAL REPORT


OF THE


SCHOOL COMMITTEE


OF THE


TOWN OF WAYLAND


FOR THE YEAR 1894-95.


The day is past when it is at all necessary for any arguments to be made to have people admit that education is a great necessity. It is clear to every thoughtful person, as a general thing, that a good education is of far greater value than wealth and a richer inheritance than the best fortune that could be put into the hands of any young person.


While the State makes it obligatory upon our towns to provide educational training for our children, it should be looked upon by every intelligent person as the wisest possible outlay of money and care.


One of the most urgent needs at the present time is a greater annual per centage of graduates from our schools. It is very de- plorable that so many fail to finish the course of studies in our grammar schools. There is no correspondence between the mem- bers of those who enter our schools and those who complete their course.


While there are fifty or sixty enter every year, it is seldom that more than ten graduate. The High School graduates are even smaller. Now, if ever, do young men and women need as broad an education as they can get. With every passing decade com- petition is growing more and more keen. And with that growth it is becoming more certain that the person who is best equipped mentally and physically will win. To be thoroughly fitted for life's


58


duties in the better openings which now come to our young people, it is necessary that our children at least pass through the grammar school, and if possible, the high. Here comes before us the ne- cessity of parental influence. Until human nature is re-made children will not see the necessity of their attendance at school. And, therefore, parents must be held responsible if it be cut short. So parents we ask the question, why cut it short ? You feel solicitous for the proper physical development of your child. This is as it should be, but you ought to feel equally con- cerned about the progress in all lines of mental culture.


Look around and you will see that these are days of mental conflict. As muscle used to decide supremacy, so now does mind. The world at the present time is one vast battlefield, on which single individuals are taking captive multitudes who have not been trained to think for themselves. Under these circum- stances the permanency of our republic calls for an educated citizenship.


Opportunities were never so good as now, since the legislature has made it compulsitory for towns to furnish text-books as well as teachers ; education is brought within the reach of all families. With these advantages it becomes imperative on the part of par- ents to demand their childred's careful attendance at school. It is needful that the town provide the very best skilled teachers that can be procured.


If the town furnish advantages for the best education and the parent enforces the attendance and careful work of the child it may naturally be expected that on the part of the child there will be a search after principles, the following of which will give the nation men and women of power.


Days more favorable for the accomplishment of these results were never known. Never was there in our state a better class of thoroughly trained teachers than now. School studies were never made so interesting and attractive to the child. The system of teaching is conducted on the best methods for the rapid mental improvement and if taken advantage of will produce a class of citizens that will be an honor to the nation.


At the commencement of the fall term 1894, we found that we had to commence with several new teachers ; and we can congratu- late the town upon our obtaining so good teachers, considering the


59


salaries we have to pay. And here let it be said, that money can- not be better expended than in paying fair salaries for good teach- ers, and when obtained be able to retain them. It is detrimental to any school to be compelled to change teachers, as each generally has a different system and by the time one is started and fairly under way a new teacher steps in to start a new system thereby delaying the schools in their studies.


From our knowledge of our schools we are able to judge that so far as our teachers are concerned our schools are in a good condi- tion and rank well, we believe, with schools of the same grade in other towns.


The committee has kept the expenses as close as possible, and we recommend for the pay of teachers, fuel, care of buildings, etc., the same as last year, $5,700. For supplies, $500. For re- pairs, $200.


We recommend that the school buildings at Cochituate be painted and that a sufficient sum be appropriated for the same. For finan- cial statement of the receipts and expenditures of the school fund see treasurer's and auditor's report.


Respectfully submitted,


C. H. BOODY, L. ANNA DUDLEY, L. E. MITCHELL,


School Committee.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARY TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDING FEB. 28, 1895.


After making an inspection of the Library during the first week in January, the Trustees are happy to report the books and other property there in fairly good condition. After the constant use to which the original portion of the Library has been subjected for nearly half a century, age and constant service will assert themselves in the general appearance of the books.


If we could have an appropriation for the maintenance of the Library sufficient to enable us to open the Library rooms two days in the week to the public, we are confident the benefits derived would more than compensate for the additional expense, the cir- culation of books would be increased, and the advantage of its valuable reference books to the teachers and scholars of the schools better appreciated.


One of the indispensable aids to a community in promoting the circulation and usefulness of a library is a good catalogue of its books. It is not only a guide in the selection of books, but in the record of titles made, an incentive is given to readers to avail themselves of the opportunity to use them.


We have upon our Library shelves the accessions of seven years uncatalogued, and it must be clear to the mind of every one that the greater part of the town's people are deprived of the benefit to be derived from those books.


Carlisle once said : "A library is not worth anything without a catalogue. It is a Polyphemus without an eye in his head, and you must front the difficulties whatever they may be of making proper catalogues."


As a residential town Wayland is being looked upon with in- creasing favor, and we have strong faith and hope with its present advantages it will continue to be so considered.


Our Library of twelve thousand and more volumes will be an attraction to persons who may be considering a permanent resi- dence, and it should be maintained and cared for now, with its


61


larger number of volumes and more expanded growth, as in for- mer years it was during its infancy. As a necessary adjunct to its enlargement is a greater expense in its support. A larger sum is needed each year in keeping the old books in proper repair aud in purchasing new ones of a character to keep the Library at its previous high standard. This expense should be met by a larger appropriation. We have been reminded during the last year of how much we are indebted to our venerable townsman and former librarian, Mr. James S. Draper, by his munificent gift to increase the fund for the benefit of the Library. After his long and faith- ful service as librarian this generous endowment for the Library is highly appreciated.


We wish to call the attention of the town to the manner in which the librarian has discharged her duties. Having gained by several years experience a thorough familiarity with the Library, she has been able to discharge her duties faithfully and with satisfaction to the Trustees, which is thoroughly appreciated.


Our librarian's report contains the necessary details and statistics for your consideration.

Fifteen "Public Library Reports " have been sent as follows : Brookline. Brooklyn, Boston Public, Cleveland, Concord, Fall River, Harvard College, Hopedale, Lawrence, Newton, Salem, State Library, Taunton ; also University of Pennsylvania and Har- vard University reports with one from the Children's Hospital in Boston.


In the issue of books during the year ending Dec. 31st, 1894, will be noted a slight increase in numbers, and the percentage of instructive reading is commendable. The choice of books seems to move in waves, like the weather, attributable, it may be pre- sumed, to criticisms or suggestions which are so plentifully brought to public notice: The young people have therein sustained inter- est and the books have received more careful use than in previous years. The time may come when a borrowed book will be treated as well as one's own. The selection of books compares favorably with other years, but there have been many much needed publica- tions of which we have been deprived through lack of funds. Among our purchases is a new edition of Scott, one of Balyae of twenty-eight volumes, and a selection of the choicest from the new books. For further particulars see tablets.


The Reading Room has been rendered more attractive by the addition of current magazines, and has been appreciated. We

have received numbers of miscellaneous books, magazines, agri- cultural papers and pamphlets on various subjects, as follows : - one curious Bible, The American Academy, Science, Twentieth Century, and The Land of Sunshine, illustrating Southern Califor- nia in an attractive form, Harper's Monthly and Century Maga- zines, have been sent regularly by a friend.


It is almost impossible that the library can render any amount of service, to the schools, in the present condition of its opening, but once in a week. The teachers are too pressed for time in their routine duties to make out extended lists, yet there are many vol- umes in the library, which would be of great assistance to both teacher and scholars if they could be more readily obtained.


The gift to the library from its venerable past librarian, is an- other evidence of the deep and lasting interest he has felt in the institution, with which he was so long and so ably connected.


A book wrongly accredited to Mrs. E. A. Atwood, in last year's report, should have read Mr. E. H. Atwood, who gave a History of the 22d Massachusetts Infantry in the Civil War. Appended to to this statement is a list of books, in numerical order, added to the library this year : -
