Public Library
To the Citizens of Randolph :
Pursuant to the provisions of Article 3 of the by-laws of the Turner Free Library, this, the thirty-third annual report, is submitted, showing the condition of the trust, consisting of the building, library and funds, together with the report of the Librarian and Treasurer, and so much of the reports sub- mitted to the Trustees by the various committees, as seem of general interest.
The Library Committee (consisting of Mr. John V. Beal, Mrs. Alice M. T. Beach, Mrs. Clara A. Wales, Mrs. Ellen J. T. Rountree and Mr. John E. Bradley) with the assistance of the Librarian, have found the books, charts and furnishings in good condition. All books belonging to the library were accounted for by the Librarian.
The Committee on Building (consisting of Messrs. Henry A. Belcher, Winthrop B. Atherton, Patrick H. Mclaughlin, N. Irving Tolman and John E. McDonald) through their chairman, report that the walls and ceilings of the corridor and rooms used for library purposes have been renovated. A few repairs and furnishings are still needed. To meet the expense of these the committee recommend that the town ap- propriate the sum of one hundred dollars.

The committee, through its chairman, has audited the accounts of the Treasurer for the year 1909, and found them correct.

TOWN OF RANDOLPH
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN
To the Trustees of the Turner Library,
Ladies and Gentlemen:
My annual report of the work of the Library for the year ending December 31, 1909, is submitted for your consideration.
It gives me pleasure to assure you that the year just closed has not only been one of continued activity and usefulness, and that the duties in each department have been discharged efficiently, but that our circulation has reached the highest record in our history of thirty-four years, exceeding the record breaker of 1908 by a margin of 1,258 volumes.
The accompanying table of statistics will inform you as far as figures can do so concerning what has been attempted and accomplished; but it can scarcely be expected in a town whose population does not increase in number that the public library records will materially differ from year to year, and while the circulation for home use, the attendance in the refer- ence department, and the work in other departments for 1909 exhibits but little improvement over that of former years, still we are gratified that the character and demeanor of those who visit the library give encouraging evidence of an interest on the part of young and old, which should prove gratifying to those who cherish wise ideals concerning the results which a public library should accomplish in a community like ours.
Miss Belcher is giving excellent satisfaction as Assistant Librarian, being pleasant, patient and painstaking, three most excellent qualities for the service required.
. 51
SEVENTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
Mr. Restaurick, as custodian of the Reading Room, con- tinues to preserve excellent decorum while retaining pleasant relations with all attendants; he seems peculiarly qualified to fill, in a happy way, a somewhat difficult position.
Circulating Department
The library has been open to the public 270 days and during that time the number of books issued has been 26,298; a daily average of 97 +.
The largest daily circulation was on February 15 496
The smallest daily circulation was on September 15. . 15
The largest monthly circulation was in February 2,966 The smallest monthly circulation was in August 462
Accession Department
The number of volumes in the library, December 31, 1908, was 21,791.
The number of volumes in the library December 31, 1909, is 22,277.
Showing an accessional increase of 486. Of this number there were acquired by purchase, 270; by individual donation, 45; by Government and State donations, 141.
Reference Department
The work in this department with its many details has gone on much as in 1908, no unusual requirements being exacted and no very important purchases made.
52
TOWN OF RANDOLPH
Reading Room
This department is fairly well furnished with papers and periodicals, yet it is possible that the purchase of two or three publications like the "Harper's Bazaar" could profitably be added to gratify the ladies who frequent the room. The quiet in this room is excellent even with a large and increasing at- tendance. The report of the Custodian can be found in the general statistical table.
Art Department
The Library has received from the Massachusetts Art Club sixteen collections of choice pictures, all of which have been placed on exhibition in the Reading Room. The exhibits have been : Rise of Sculpture, No. 2; Italian Art, No. 1; Italian Art, No. 2; Shakespeare, No. 2; Yellowstone, No. 1; Concord; Amiens; American Sculpture; Southern coast of England ; Pompeii; Walter Crane, No. 2; Scotland, No. 1; Florence, No. 3; Famous Pictures, No. 4; Norway, No. 2; Historic dress in America.
These several exhibits have been worthy of a larger patron- age, and the people of the town could gain much valued infor- mation from a careful study of these copies of works of art.
1 have been making a careful estimate of the number of volumes which the patrons of the Library have borrowed from the Library during the nearly completed thirty-four years of its service. These figures do not include the Reading Room or Reference Department, and I find the grand total to be 694,131.
53
SEVENTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
Redecorating and Cleaning
It seems very nice after more than thirty years of hard usage to have the old and sadly soiled frescoing give place to a nice clean coat of oil paint and to enjoy the quiet of a rubber and cork protector upon the floor.
In Conclusion
I have only to thank you ladies and gentlemen of the Board for kindness shown to me in the past, and I trust with continued mutual helpfulness that future years may bring to the Library abundant success.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES C. FARNHAM, Librarian.

TOWN OF RANDOLPH
Report of School Committee
To the Citizens of Randolph:
The School Committee make and submit for your consider- ation their annual report for the year ending December 31, 1909.
At the close of the winter term the Stetson High School vacated the rooms in the Stetson Hall building, which for seventy years had been devoted to school purposes.
The change was one that caused little or no regret; on the contrary it had been looked forward to with feelings of pleasant anticipation.
In the new building would be found more pleasing environ- ments that would make school life and school work more in- teresting and attractive.
This has been proven by the present enrollment, the largest in the history of the school.
Extensive repairs were made on the old furniture, sufficient to equip three classrooms.
New furniture was purchased for the assembly Hall, the laboratory and one classroom.
The teachers and pupils have aided much in providing for- nishings, where the board were without funds to procure them.
63
SEVENTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
Among others a handsome new piano and a reading desk for the Assembly Hall.
A magnificent roll top desk for the principal's room, also largely the furnishings in the assistant teachers' room.
While anticipating the needs of Memorial Day, we learned the school were to receive a flag and flag pole, the gift of Miss Abby Turner, Mrs. Alice W. Beach and Mrs, H. H. Rountree. The committee take this opportunity to duly acknowledge this generous contribution to the school, and to express in behalf of the pupils and townspeople their thanks and appreciation of this beautiful gift.
On the occasion of the formal presentation, appropriate exercises were held on the school grounds, followed by a very interesting and instructive programme in the Assembly Hall.
A pleasing feature of the day was an address by Admiral Wilde, one of the heroes of Manila Bay. This was surely flag day at the Stetson High School, as a flag for classroom exercises was presented by the Grand Army of the Republic, also a beautiful silk flag adorns the stage of the Assembly Hall, through the liberality of the Women's Relief Corps. We ex- tend our thanks also to the Ladies' Library Association for the handsome allegorical picture which hangs in the lower hall.
Through the efforts of the principal and a committee of the graduates the contributions to the clock fund by the gradu- ates and former pupils of the school yielded a sum sufficient to place electric clocks throughout the building.
Telephone service, for which the building is wired, is yet to be provided.
Just before the close of the school year, we were directed by
64
TOWN OF RANDOLPH
the State Board of Health to provide better ventilation at the North Grammar building.
Ventilators were placed in the rooms as directed, which we trust will meet the requirements of the district inspector.
These rooms were thoroughly renovated during the summer vacation.
Needed repairs were made in two rooms at the Prescott building.
A new ceiling was put in the Tower Hill School; beyond some repairs on the chimney this property is otherwise in good condition.
General repairs will include shingling of the West Corner Schoolhouse; the Prescott Primary should have a new fence on all sides of the property. The building should be provided with something in the nature of a storm porch or other entrance to afford protection to these young children. Repairs must also be made on the fence enclosing the Prescott Grammar property.
At the unoccupied No. 1 School a new fence will also be needed.
For fuel and care of rooms a larger appropriation will be required.
The school census taken in September, 1909, shows the number of children between the ages of 5 and 15 to be 747, a gain of 26 over 1908, and an increase during the past five years of 118. This increase in numbers has resulted in an overcrowded condition, especially in the lower grades, which will necessitate the opening of another room should this con- dition continue.
65
SEVENTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT
A detailed statement of receipts and expenditures in this department for the year ending December 31, 1909, 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, 1910:

We sold ten shares of New England National Bank for $1,000, and bought five shares of Peoples' National Bank for $690, and two shares of Lawrence Gas Company for $380.
For some years Stetson Hall has been in need of better seating accommodations.
On Memorial Day, at Graduation and other times during the year, we have been obliged to borrow seats.
The trustees believe that part of the income this year should be used to provide for this urgent need.
The balance on hand, as shown by the secretary's report, is held for this purpose.
The fund is invested now as follows, the valuation being at par:
7 Northern Pacific & Great Northern 4% bonds $7,000 00 2 American Telephone & Telegraph 4% bonds. . 2,000 00
