The Committee on Building (consisting of Messrs. Henry A. Belcher, Winthrop B. Atherton, N. Irving Tolman, John E. McDonald and James H. Dunphy) through its chairman, reports that the building is in fairly good condition, but that a building which is nearly forty years old needs repairing each year in order to meet the requirements of its occupancy.

SEVENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT
As the appropriation which was asked for last year was over- looked by not inserting an article therefor in the town meeting warrant, the Treasurer was obliged to advance it from the library fund income, much to the inconvenience of the regular expenses of the library. To be in conformity with the terms of the donation, this advancement should be refunded, which with the estimated cost of repairs for the ensuing year would require two hundred and fifty dollars to be raised and appro- priated by the town. It is earnestly desired that this request be complied with, and that a custom of appropriating a small sum each year for repairs be established.
The Committee on Finance (consisting of Messrs. Asa P. French, Frank C. Granger, William H. Leavitt, Herbert W. Pratt and Jeremiah J. Desmond) report as follows:
RANDOLPH, MASS., January 1, 1912.
To the Trustees of the Turner Free Library:
Your Committee on Finance submits the following report:
The Committee, through its Chairman, has audited the accounts of the Treasurer for the year 1911, and found them correct. All moneys received have been duly accounted for and no money has been paid out except upon vouchers prop- erly approved. The Committee has also examined the se- curities representing the investment of the Library funds, and has found them intact and as shown by the schedule contained in the Treasurer's report. There has been no change in these securities during the past year.
ASA P. FRENCH,
Chairman.

TOWN OF RANDOLPH
The report of the Librarian statistically showing in detail the doings, management and results of the various depart- ments of the library, and the report of the Treasurer showing the investment of the funds and the receipts and expenditures of the library are hereto subjoined.
The vacancy in the membership of the Board of Trustees caused by the resignation of Mrs. Clara A. Wales, has been filled by the election of Seth Turner Crawford, whom, being a grandson of one of the donors of the library and well qualified for the position, it was considered very appropriate to elect.
Respectfully submitted, JOHN V. BEAL, President of the Board of Trustees.

SEVENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN
To the Trustees of the Turner Library,
Randolph, Mass.
Ladies and Gentlemen: Permit me to present for your consideration my thirty-sixth annual report, covering the library record for 1911.
During the year the library has been open for the borrowing of books 274 days, and for all purposes 288 days-the additional 14 days being required for the return of such books as are already in circulation.
The largest number charged in a single day was 486 on February 18. The smallest, 13, on February 7, and the total issue for the 274 days was 25,653-a daily average of 93. This record shows a slight decrease from that of 1910 which was 25,852, a daily average of 94.
I attribute the falling off largely to the very frequent occupancy of our public halls for entertainments of various kinds.
The accessions to the library from various sources have been: By purchase, 431; donation, 13; magazines bound, 25; Government publications, 184; making a total of 653. These added to the 22,870 reported in 1910 places our present number of accessioned books at 23,523.
Reference
As the use of the volumes in this department for examina- tion or study is wholly unrestricted, it is of course impracti-
58
TOWN OF RANDOLPH
cable to attempt to record their use statistically. Sufficient to say, that very excellent and satisfactory work has been accomplished in this room.
Bulletins
It is the purpose of the Librarian to print and have freely distributed semi-annual lists, giving authors and titles of all recent additions. The present bulletin will be ready for the public on January 1, 1912. Our special bulletin, known as the "Nature Study" list, designed especially for teachers and students, has been recently prepared and circulated.
Schools
It is the constant purpose of the officers of the library to co-operate in the higher educational work of the schools, as far as possible, and to accomplish this there have been loaned to the teachers for the benefit of their pupils 1,575 volumes, and it is my pleasure to gratefully acknowledge such assistance from the Superintendent of Schools and instructors as to make the success in this department especially gratifying.
Reading Room
While many librarians are noting more or less of disorder in this room, it is with gratitude to our Board of Trustees, and justice to our custodian, that such annoyances are with us unknown. Mr. Restarick not only secures the friendship and good will of patrons, but is able to maintain excellent discipline in and about the building. His annual report to
59
SEVENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT
the librarian appears with the general statistical tables. Total attendance being 8,287, a daily average of 29.
Fines
The sum of forty-six dollars has been collected and paid to the Treasurer for fines incurred by patrons during the year.
Art Exhibits
The library has received from the Massachusetts Art Club 12 exhibits: Japan No. 1, Transportation, Japan No. 2, Indians, Egypt No. 2, Eighteenth Century Color Prints, Local No. 2, Rulers of Italy, Walter Crane No. 1, Wells' Cathedral, Cotton and Silk, Unger's etchings. These several exhibits constitute an important part of an extensive educa- tional system, and each merits careful and critical study.
Gifts
Besides the 13 volumes and government publications mentioned under "Accessions" the library has received from the collection of the late Nelson Mann a generous supply of Memorial Day music. This supply would make a good beginning for a Musical department in our Library. I have no doubt that the people of the town have in their possession a considerable number of unused copies of standard musical works, such as oratorios, operas, masses, Jubilee "68" and "72," and kindred publications of merit, which they would gladly donate to the library for public service.
60
TOWN OF RANDOLPH
There have been no changes in the employees at the library during the past year. Miss Belcher is proving almost in- valuable in her position as assistant. In fact, our present staff can all be classed as experienced workers, and I am glad to express my thanks to each and all for loyal and efficient service, as well as to the Trustees for constant helpfulness and encouragement.
Very respectfully,
CHARLES C. FARNHAM, Librarian.
Randolph, Mass., December 30, 1911.

TOWN OF RANDOLPH
Report of School Committee
RANDOLPH, MASS., December 30, 1911.
To the Citizens of Randolph:
' Complying with the statutes of the Commonwealth the School Committee submits its annual report for the year ending December 30, 1911.
An account of the progress of the schools together with the usual school statistics will be found in the report of the Superintendent.
At the annual meeting in March the town appropriated $1,800 for the purpose of placing a steam heating plant and sanitary closets in the Prescott Primary building.
During the summer vacation this important work was completed, making conditions in this building all that could be reasonably desired.
Four buildings, viz .: Stetson High School, Prescott Grammar, Prescott Primary and North Grammar are now provided with steam heating plants and sanitary closets.
In addition to repairs of minor importance, the following improvements have been made during the year. A new
71
SEVENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT
fence enclosing the Prescott Primary playground, refinishing the desks in grades I and II in the Prescott Primary School, one of the class rooms in the Prescott Grammar has been entirely renovated, and at the West Corners School the chimney was partially rebuilt.
At the North Grammar School the overcrowded condition already referred to in previous reports increases.
The matter has been thoroughly gone over by the Com- mittee, Superintendent and Principal, and they have decided that the only permanent relief will be the erection of a new eight-room building in the near future.
For the present, it is thought that by making a limited number of transfers some relief will be afforded, or one of the unoccupied rooms in the Prescott Primary could be utilized.
In April, Mr. Watson C. Lea tendered his resignation to take effect at the close of the school year. The joint com- mittee of the district held several meetings in the town of Holbrook and from a large number of applicants elected Mr. Fordyce T. Reynolds, whose work since coming to us has been most satisfactory.
The school census of 1911 shows the number of children between the ages of five and fifteen to be 766, a loss of 6 over 1910.
A detailed statement of receipts and expenditures in this department for the year ending December 30, 1911, is an- nexed to this report.
The Committee asks the town to raise and appropriate the following sums of money to meet the school expenses for the year ending December 31, 1912:

REPORT OF TRUSTEES
To the Citizens of Randolph:
There has been no change in the investment of this fund since our last report. During the year the State Inspector of Buildings gave orders to provide better means of egress in the rear of Stetson Hall.
The expense of this work as well as the rewiring was much greater than we anticipated. We hope, however, that the increased revenue from this outlay will in a short time repay the expenditure.
The fund is now invested as follows, the valuation being at par.
7 Northern Pacific & Great Northern 4% bonds $7,000 00
