STETSON SCHOOL FUND.
To the Selectmen of Randolph:
The Trustees of the Stetson School Fund respectfully submit their annual report. Our investments remaining as heretofore, we give the list as repeated for several years.

$10,600
The receipts and disbursements are shown by financial account annexed. The decrease in income from our stocks and the rent of Stetson Hall, together with the amount rendered necessary for put- ting the Hall in repair, added to the deficit with which we commenced the year (although the expenses of carrying on the school have not been increased), leave our treasury again in debt to our Secretary in the sum of two hundred sixty-three dollars and 100) 150%, to be met the coming year.
As the exact condition is so apparent upon the statement ren- dered, we can see nothing necessary but to name the least amount that will be required from the town to enable the Trustees to faith-
7
50
fully carry on the work entrusted to their Board; they therefore respectfully ask that the sum of twelve hundred and fifty dollars be appropriated for the further support of the school the ensuing year.
STETSON HIGH SCHOOL.
At the opening of the school April 1st, 1878, under the charge of Mr. V. II. Deane, principal, and Miss Harriet B. Stetson, assistant, there were forty applicants examined, ten of whom - eight girls and two boys - passed a satisfactory examination and were admit- ted ; making the whole number of pupils at the commencement, six- ty-six. At the opening of the fall term, September 2d, the services of Miss Augusta Bunker, of Nantucket, a graduate of the Bridge- water Normal School, with high recommendations, which her subse- quent labor justified, were secured as assistant in place of Miss Alice IIanson, who occupied the position for a few days, previously made vacant by the resignation of Miss Stetson, who left on account of greater inducements in the way of salary, to accept a position in a school in Nashua, N. II.
The average number of pupils is fifty-five, and the school has been in session thirty-eight weeks.
The disproportion apparent between the number of applicants and the number of admissions is very largely due to the fact that many pupils from other than the graduating class in the grammar schools, apply at every commencement, whom the Trustees feel constrained to admit to an examination under the condition of the Stetson donation, though neither, as is sometimes the case, the pupils them- selves, the teachers below, the School Committee or the Trustees, have reason to expect them to be found qualified to enter upon a course of high school study.
This habit of sending pupils, known not to be qualified for admission, to this or any other school, is a bad one, and could only be injurious to the pupil, even should he by any mistake be admitted, as no good can come from membership in a school where the course of study pursued is based upon the presumption that the pupil is in possession of knowledge of which he is deficient.
The school maintains the high position which it has for some
51
time occupied under competent instructors, this being rendered very clear by the highly satisfactory examination passed generally, and the great excellence of the exercises of the graduating class at the close of the year, March 8, 1879, in the presence of the Trustees, the School Committee, the clergy of the town, and a very large number of the friends and patrons of the school.
The graduating class consisted of thirteen pupils, and was as follows :-

PUBLIC LIBRARY.
In conformity with the by-laws of the "Turner Free Library," the President, representing the Trustees, offers to the town, the Third Annual Report. As before, it covers only the " calendar" year of 1878 in its financial features, book operations, and general matters ; al- though incidental allusions may be made to current matters which have transpired to the present date in 1879. Mr. J. Winsor Pratt has been elected a Trustee to fill the vacancy in the Board, occasioned by the death of Mr. John L. French. The first element required in the report relates to the
TRUST.
This covers all the property held and more particularly under the care of the respective committees, which are made accountable to the Board. The Finance Committee reports to the Trustees, that the cash portion of the fund remains in its original condition, and consists of a note of the Town of Randolph for $5,000, bearing in- terest at six per centum, and which is in the custody of the Treasurer.
THE BUILDING.
The proper committee reports but small outlay on this head, and has no real reason to anticipate any unusual expenditures the current year. During the year, the Reading Room has been con- nected with the Library, Hall by a convenient door, which, in its use, fully justifies the change ; giving as it does to the Librarian a care for proper order in the first-named room. The Trustees make no recommendations of extraordinary expenditures in this connection.

Number of cards in use for six months to July 1, 1878, 1,693
Jan. 1, 1879, 1,754
The issues of the year are in excess of 1877, . 3,601
All other figures above exceed the corresponding statistics of 1877, excepting in one particular,-the highest daily issue,-which on one day in 1877 reached 360, or 20 beyond the largest of 1878, easily explained by attending circumstances. With the very satisfactory increased use of the Library, the Trustees are gratified in being able to report a commendable improvement in the character of the books called for ; a much larger percentage of History, Travel, Biog- raphy, and kindred works, being used, while Fiction of the more objectionable character, has not maintained the lead taken in former years. It is well known and fully confessed, that there are many books classed as Fiction, which all highly appreciate, and which will
8
58
always take a front rank in every well conducted Library, and be read with profit, as instructive-tending to the promotion of a culti- vated taste in the use of books. It is equally true, that many publi- cations are issued from the press, whose influence upon the minds of the readers, to say the least, is not productive of good, but quite the reverse ; that please only for the time being, and are rarely called for after a first perusal ; never worth a second reading.
In the last report it was asserted, on good authority, that the pat- ronage of Public Libraries was in marked and favorable contrast with the use of preceding years, in the nature of the books read, and our experience of the year 1878 fully confirms that position.
The Library Committee has endeavored to meet, as far as possible, the wants of the community, in their selections, never forgetting the popularity of Fiction, and the eagerness with which a really good " Novel" is sought, and constantly appreciated.
The Committee is at all times desirous and happy to receive sug- gestions from the community in the selection of books, and will en- deavor to exercise an impartial discrimination in the additions.
The annual examination of the Library was made in December, the Committee finding every book, with one exception, in its place (the diligence of the Librarian having since discovered the missing volume). The good order and condition of the Library were highly commended, and are very creditable to the Librarian and Miss Boyd, his assistant.
At the same time, the examination of the books indicated a some- what hard usage of a portion, which has given the Trustees the rep- utation of conducting a library requiring more " repairs " or re-bind- ing than (with one exception) any other under the notice of the publishers who furnish a large proportion of our volumes. The con- stant care of the Librarian and assistant has been essential in order to show to friends, visitors, and patrons the good exhibit presented. It should be remembered by all users that the item of repairs for each year is no inconsiderable element in annual expenditures, and every dollar so used diminishes the supply of reading matter. Re- newed reference is made to this subject in order to impress upon all the importance of treating Library books as if they are the property
59
of readers, and should be so preserved. A better patronage of the Reading Room would be gratifying, as the Trustees have endeavored to give a good supply of newspapers and magazines, while several reference volumes have been added and new facilities given for con- venient use. Our neighboring towns are well supplied with Public Libraries, which are increasing in number, and although our means are largely exceeded by some in operation and by others initiated, the Trustees pledge their best efforts to make the Randolph Library merit the reputation they are happy to know it enjoys.
FUNDS.
The Treasurer's account, annexed, exhibits in a condensed form the financial operations of the year, and requires little explanation. The balance of cash on hand is about the same as at the close of 1877, and shows quite liberally ; but it should be remembered that the receipts accrue largely in the latter months of the year, swelling at that period the cash of the fund, while the earlier months give only a sufficient amount to meet current expenses. The Board aims at promptness in payments, and to make its patronage desirable to booksellers. The by-laws require the President to present to the town estimates for expenditures and probable income. The ex- penses it is thought will vary little from those of 1878, anticipating no extraordinary ones, though such may at any time occur.
To meet them we place our rents at $600 00 Interest on permanent fund (town note $5,000), . 300 00
And ask the " dog money " (by estimation), 300 00
