transpired to interfere with the favorable progress of the school, its advancement has been very satisfactory to the Trustees, and fully justifies their expectations, based upon the well-known competency of our long-tried and faithful principal, and the excellent reputation of his accomplished assistant.
The school closed with a highly satisfactory public examination on Thursday, March 14, 1878. The next term will commence on Tuesday, April 2d next, at 9 o'clock, A. M., when applicants for admission will be examined.

PUBLIC LIBRARY.
In behalf of the Trustees, the subscriber presents the Second Annual Report, as provided by the by-laws. The books and accounts of the Library being confined to the calendar year, this report will in the main be limited to the operations of 1877, although some of its features may refer to .a portion of the present year, especially those of a personal nature. Rev. James E. O'Brien, after an attentive service in the interests of the Library, removed from town, resigning his position as Trustee in July last. In January of the current year, Mr. John B. Thayer was elected to fill the vacancy. In February, Mr. John L. French, an original and es- teemed Trustee, died, his decease being appropriately noticed by his surviving associates.
The by-laws call for a report to the town, of the condition of the Trust, - the Building, Library, and Funds, - with suggestions and estimates, at discretion of the President.
Attention is first called to the -
TRUST,
Which embraces all of the property in the care of the various com- mittees of the Board, and properly noticed under various heads. The money portion of the Trust remains, as stated in the last report, invested in a note of the town of Randolph for $5,000, bearing interest at the rate of six per centum per annum, and is in the hands of the Treasurer.
THE BUILDING.
The Committee report to the Trustees its general good condition, comparatively few repairs having been required ; the expenditures,
62
as will be seen by the Treasurer's account, falling short of one hun- dred dollars. Warned by the experience of our neighboring town of Holbrook, $2,000 additional insurance has been placed upon the building, and two " Champion " fire extinguishers purchased for use in an emergency. The Trustees know of no heavy requirements for the present year under this head.
LIBRARY.
In illustration of the use of the Library, extracts from the Libra- rian's Report to the Trustees are given, as best showing practical matters.

At the date of this report, the whole number of books upon the shelves is 5,478, to which will be very shortly added several recent purchases. While the composition of the Library is such as to com- mand the approbation of the frequent visits of librarians and others from different towns, the Trustees regret that they cannot attest a greater change in the class of books sought by takers, fiction still taking its disproportionate lead, but somewhat less than the three- fourths reported in the annual report of last year. History claims about two-thirds of the remainder; all other books making the aggregate.
Since the opening of 1878, the highest daily issue has been 360 books, being nearly 100 in excess of any previous delivery. From the best information obtained, the Trustees are convinced that our distribution of books is not far different from that of most American
1
63
libraries, established in other than collegiate and academic locali- ties. It is gratifying, however, to be able to state, that from reports of conventions of librarians and others interested, an advance has been made on previous years in the character of books required by the reading public.
In comparison with the Library, the reading-room has not been as well patronized as it seems to deserve, supplied as it is with news- papers and periodicals. The order observed in the public rooms is to be commended ; while, thus far, the entire establishment dis- covers little evidence of serious abuse, although some lessons in neatness, if properly heeded, would not be amiss.
The Library Committee have, from time to time, in connection with the Librarian's suggestions, given additional facilities to refer- ence-readers and applicants for books.
The Trustees do not propose to add many words in advocacy of the usefulness of the Library, for figures given in this report, as fur- nished by the Librarian, make patent to every reader, as well as visitors, the extent to which books are taken and used. All tastes cannot be perfectly suited ; but the Library Committee, in the execu- tion of their difficult task of selection, strive to present a good variety of subjects, and avail, to the extent of the means at hand, of new publications as they appear, intending to carefully avoid what shall be radically objectionable in any respect, or distasteful to any considerable portion of the community. The Committee, as also the Librarian, are always happy to receive suggestions from the public touching additions to the Library. The annual examination of the Library was made as required in January, and the condition of the books found quite satisfactory, when the constant use of the most popular volumes is taken into consideration. The repairing of books requires no small amount of labor, and is attended with considerable expense annually.
FUNDS.
The Treasurer's account, accompanying, will present this division, so far as actual transactions of 1877 are concerned. The balance on hand, it will be seen, is somewhat larger than anticipated, it
64
having been increased by the unexpended balance of the appropria- tion for a portrait of Col. Turner, which was placed in the Library Hall the past summer. The expenditures, since the accounts were closed, have been quite large for the extinguishers, fire policy, and current expenses. It is quite impossible to state what may be necessary, in the way of funds, for the current year ; and the Trustees. do not forget that taxes should be made as light as possible, in view of the depressed condition of business. Taking into consideration the popular use of books, as shown under the head of "Library," and the unavoidable expenses in its conduct, the Trustees respect- fully request of the town, an appropriation of the same sum as voted a year since ; viz., $500, and also what is termed the " dog-money." On this basis, the receipts may be estimated as follows : -
From rents, .
$600 00
interest,
300 00
dog tax (estimate),
300 00
appropriation, ·
500 00
In all,
. $1,700 00
The President ventures to assure the town, that whatever moneys may come into the hands of the Trustees, they will endeavor to expend faithfully and economically, with earnest efforts to promote the great objects for which the Library was established. The Treasurer's report, omitting details, follows, under appropriate heads of "Receipts" and "Expenditures," showing the actual transactions of the year 1877, as given by his books : -
