Public Library.
In accordance with the requirements of Article 3 of the By-Laws of the Turner Free Library, the twenty-ninth an- nual report is herewith submitted, showing the condition of the trust, the building, library and funds, with reports of different committees and of the librarian presented to the trustees, for the year ending December 31, 1905.
TRUST.
The trust remains the same as in previous years, and con- sists of the library building, library, funds invested and the income arising therefrom. The present condition of the funds will be found in the report of the finance committee herewith submitted.
BUILDING.
The committee on building (consisting of Henry A. Belch- er, N. Irving Tolman, Winthrop B. Atherton, Charles H. Thayer and John E. McDonald) report that the exterior of the building, with the exception of a short piece of finial on top, and some paint needed on the window sashes, etc., is in good repair. The interior of the Library room and its approaches are sadly in need of new paint. as in its pres- ent condition it is not in as good condition as it should be to carry out the wishes of the donors.
50
LIBRARY.
The annual examination of the library was made in August by the library committee (consisting of J. White Belcher, Asa P. French, Mrs. Clara A. Wales, Mrs. Ellen J. T. Rountree and William H. Leavitt) and the books, charts and furnishings of the library were found as usual in good condition; all books belonging to the library were accounted for by the librarian.
FUNDS.
The committee on finance (consisting of John V. Beal, Winthrop B. Atherton, John E. Bradley, Alice M. T. Beach and Frank C. Granger) report as follows :
"To the Trustees of the Turner Free Library :
"In compliance with the requirements of Article Tenth of By-Laws of the Turner Free Library, the committee on finance herewith present a report of the receipts and ex- penditures thereof for the financial year commencing Janu- ary 1, 1905, and ending December 31, 1905; also the result of their examination of the treasurer's accounts and of such estimates and recommendations for the ensuing year as in their judgment seem requisite for the prosperity of the library.
"The receipts for the treasury during this period of time as per accounts of N. Irving Tolman, treasurer, including the balance $693.65 of last year, were $3,193.10.
"The payments from the treasury during the same period were $2,594.64, making an excess of receipts over expendi- tures of $598.46.
"Having examined the accounts of the treasury, the com- mittee find that all bills and orders for expenditures which
51
have been presented for payment have been paid by the treasurer upon the approval of the proper committee of the library, and proper vouchers therefor by him retained and placed on file, and that his accounts are in all respects true and accurate; that a cash balance of $598.46, as above shown, is now in the treasury and remains on deposit in the State National Bank, Boston.
"The committee further find that all the rents and inter- ests and all the revenues from whatever source have been duly collected and properly secured.
"The remaining funds of the library, exclusive of the above mentioned balance, consist of five thousand (5000) dollars invested in a promissory note of the town of Ran- dolph, bearing interest at the rate of four per centum per annum, and the sum of ten thousand (10,000) dollars as the 'Turner Fund' invested as follows :
"One bond of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad of $1000.
"Two bonds of the Detroit, Grand Rapids & Western Rail- road of $500 each.
"One bond of the Old Colony Railroad Company of $1000.
"One bond of the Western Telephone & Telegraph Com- pany of $1000.
"Two bonds of the Chicago & West Michigan Railroad Company of $1000 each.
"Three bonds of the Union Pacific Railroad Company of $500 each.
"Thirty-three shares of the preferred stock of the Union Pacific Railroad Company.
"One bond of the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad Company of $1000.
"The Royal W. Turner bequest is invested as follows :
"Ten Old Colony Railroad bonds, $1000 each.
"Ten Wayne County, Michigan, bonds, $1000 each.
"The Committee consider that the income of the funds will
52
be sufficient to meet the current expenses of the ensuing year. and. therefore. recommend that no appropriation be solicited from the town.
"Randolph, December 31, 1903."
A detailed statement of the receipts and expenditures for the year ending December 31, 1905. will be found in the re- port of the treasurer hereto annexed.
The following annual report of the Librarian. Dr. Charles C. Farnham. to the trustees, contains a condensed statement of the present condition and uses of the library :
"To the Board of Trustees of the Turner Free Library:
"Ladies and Gentlemen .- I have the honor to present here- with my twenty-ninth annual report covering the operations of the year 1905.
"While the circulation of the Library in the home depart- ment has been slightly smaller than for the previous year. the improvement in other departments has been phenomenal.
"The rooms have been open to the public 275 days. The Reading room has been well filled each evening. and the de- portment has been exceptionally good.
"The Reference room has had its throng of boys and girls both afternoon and evening, earnestly seeking information on subjects assigned them at school. the number in almost constant attendance varying from half a dozen to fifty. Very busy students they are. and in the main quite orderly.
"The several literary societies of the town have patronized the Library well. and every possible aid has been cheorfully extended to them.
"The Library has been highly favored the last year in the department of art. Indeed. so indulgent has Miss Chandler been to us, that we have had for the entire winter two sets of Greek art pictures (100 each). riches galore, and al: freely furnished for public service.
53
"In regular exhibits we have had :
"French Art in Paris."
"Nuremburg."
"Rome No. 2," part 2d.
"Plymouth and the Pilgrims."
"Evangeline Country."
"Up the Rhine."
"English Lake Country."
"Passion Play."
"Florence No. 4."
"Old Boston."
"Ten in all. It is a pleasure to note an increasing inter- est in these valuable and instructive exhibits.
"During the year there have been accessioned 1741 books and pamphlets. By purchase 434, by periodicals bound 136, and the balance by gift. chiefly United States and Massa- chusetts documents ; making our present total of catalogued books and documents 20,035.
"In the home department on regular cards there have been borrowed 17.443 books.
"In the school department upon special cards for teach- ers, and for school purposes only, there have been issued 2191 books.
"In connection with school work in the reference depart- ment no accurate record of the volumes used can be made, as the students in this room are permitted free access to the shelves. The number is certainly very large, often rivalling the home department. This increasing use of the Library by the schools is very gratifying, and is fully in accord with a circular issued by the National Educational Association. which states that 'There should be most cordial relations between the school and the library. The community should be led to regard the library as a necessary part of a system of public education. just as essential as the common school. Pupils should know what a library is, what it contains. and
54
how to use it. A child can no more be wisely left to get his knowledge and taste for literature by himself than to get mathematical or scientific training in the same way. Chil- dren must be trained to use the library as they are trained to do other things.
"Much of the increased efficiency and consequent useful- ness of the Library this year is due to the extensive changes made last spring in the several departments. The equipping and occupying of the upper room for governmental pub- lications, and the devoting of the entire annex to the refer- ence work; the thorough cleansing and re-arranging of the books in the main hall, have each and all conduced to good order and improved service.
"The number of patrons registered at the present time is 1434.
"Of fines there has been collected and paid to the Treas- urer $42.00.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
CHARLES C. FARNHAM. Librarian.
Randolph. Dec. 31. 1905.
At the close of another year the trustees again desire to express their satisfaction with the excellent condition of the library under the care and management of the present ef- ficient librarian and his assistant.

Report of the School Committee.
To the Citizens of Randolph :
The School Committee hereby make and submit for your consideration their annual report for the year ending Dec. 31, 1905. The committee have made many small repairs on school buildings the past year. We will mention some of the larger ones. During the summer vacation two rooms in ! the Prescott school building were refurnished with new ad- justable seats and desks at an expense of $310. The old desks were double and seats were worn out by constant use for many years. One room in the Prescott primary was painted and ceiling frescoed; one room in the Tower Hill school building was painted and renovated throughout. The north side of the roof of the North grammar school building leaked badly, not having been shingled for thirty years, and was reshingled in the month of August. We believe these improvements were thoroughly needed and are worth all they cost.
The School Committee for several years have thought that there was urgent need for a change in the system of heating and sanitary arrangements of the Prescott school building. The heating is by six stoves and is expensive, requiring thirty tons of coal to heat the building comfortably during the winter. The outbuildings are old, constantly need repair- ing and are unfit for use, besides being unsightly. We be- lieve these should be removed, therefore your Committee recommend that this building be heated throughout by steam and that the town purchase a steam heating plant for that
60
purpose, and that sanitary closets be erected in the basement ; also that the building be painted outside. An article for these purposes will be inserted in the warrant for the annual town meeting. The salt marsh situated in Quincy, which was a part of the Coddington donation to the town, the in- come of which is to be used toward the support of the public schools, has been sold by the town for $300. This money has been invested by the Town Treasurer and will increase the income of that fund $12 annually, making the income of the Coddington Fund $76 yearly.
School census taken September, 1905; shows the number of children between the ages of five and fifteen to be 629.
The report of the Superintendent of Schools is subjoined. giving a detailed account of the conditions and work of the schools for the past year.
A detailed statement of the expenditures and receipts in this department for the year ending Dec. 31. 1905. is annexed to this report.
The committee ask the town to raise and appropriate the following sums of money to meet the expenses of the schools for the year ending December 31. 1906.

The Trustees call the attention of the voters of the town to the urgent need of the High School for the new building which the town voted to build at the last annual town meet- ing, and hope that the town will make a selection of a suit- able location for this building at the coming annual town meeting.
The Stetson Hall building has not been painted for many years. There is great need for the preservation of the build- ing, that it be painted outside two coats. The Trustees recommend that it be painted this year.
Relative to the work of the High School for the past year. see report of the Superintendent of Schools.
The report of the secretary, Fred M. French, Esq., is here- unto annexed.
Respectfully submitted.
