Randolph, Mass., January 20, 1913. To the Trustees of the Turner Free Library :
The Committee on Finances, through its Chairman, has audited the accounts of the Treasurer for the year 1912, and found them correct. All moneys received have been duly accounted for and no money has been paid out except upon vouchers properly approved. The Committee has also examined the securities representing the investment of the Library funds, and has found them intact and as shown in the schedule contained in the Treasurer's report. There has been no change in these securities during the past year.
ASA P. FRENCH, Chairman.
The report of the Librarian statistically showing in de- tail the doings, management and results of the various de- partments 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.
During the past year the Trustees have experienced the loss by death of Mr. John E. Bradley and Mr. Herbert

W. Pratt. Their past interest and efficiency in the wel- fare of the Library was much appreciated and their pres- ence at the meetings of the Board is greatly missed. The vacancies have been filled by the election of Mr. Herbert F. French and Mr. John W. Crawford.
George V. Higgins, M. D. has been appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. Fred M. French as Secretary of the Stetson School Fund.
Respectfully submitted, JOHN V. BEAL,

TOWN OF RANDOLPH
Report of the Librarian
To the Trustees of the Turner Library, Randolph, Mass .:
Ladies and Gentlemen: I have the honor to present for your consideration my thirty-seventh annual report, covering the library record for 1912.
Circulation
The library has been open to the public 276 days, and during this time 28,235 books have been issued for public service-a daily average of 102 plus. The largest number in any one day being 440 on May 6, and the smallest 6 on March 14th.
Additions
The entire number of volumes added during the year, has been 629. By purchase, 429; by donation, includ- ing Federal and State Documents, 164; by magazines bound, 36; bringing the total of accessioned books to date 24,152.
Bulletins
Semi-annual slips of recent editions have been regularly prepared and freely distributed. The regular winter bulletin, now in preparation, will be ready for the public about Feb. 1.
Schools
The teachers of the public schools have borrowed for the use of students in their several grades 1918 vol- umes. In addition to these a considerable number of
55
SEVENTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT
books have been issued directly, to such scholars as are included in the special reading course requested by the Superintendent of Schools.
Reading Room
Excellent dicipline is maintained not only in this room, but in all departments of the library. The Custodian's report appears in the general statistical table.
Fines
The sum of $38.21 has been collected and paid to the Treasurer for fines incurred during the year.
Art Exhibits
Thirteen valuable exhibits for educational purposes and critical study have been received from the Massachu- setts Art Club; Classic French Art; Days near Rome No. 2; Old Hollandish Interiors; Corot Part 1; Japanese Color Prints; Audabon; Venice No. 5; Despots of Italy ; Whistler's Works; Coal and Coke; Unger's Etchings; Modern English Photogravures; Fishes; and in this con- nection, I would recommend that at no distant day, an effort be made to secure a collection of Art Pictures, as the permanent property of the library, and which may be at the service of the public.
Music Department
Last year an invitation was extended to such friends of the library, as had in their possession, unused copies of such standard musical works as Oratorios, Operas,
56
TOWN OF RANDOLPH
Masses, Jubilee Music of '68 and '72, and kindred publications, to donate these to the library for public service.
I am happy to report as having given generously and gladly for this purpose, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Flynn, Mrs. Nelson Mann, and by Mrs. Carroll Thayer, the great- er portion of the extensive musical library of the late John B. Thayer.
During the past year extensive and expensive changes and improvements have been made at the library. The main Hall which with the constant accessions of recent years had become overcrowded, has been quite relieved by the removal of all magazines to the upper south room, where upon new shelves and in fresh stacks, this valuable department has been thoroughly rearranged and reclass- ified.
The large number of Government publications stored in the north upper room, has been made of ready ser- vice by the purchase of 12 large volumes of Indexes, covering all documents printed at the Government offices.
There has been no change in the library staff during the year. As I said in my last report, all can be classed as efficient and experienced workers in their several depart- ments.
The librarian feels most keenly the sudden death of Dr. John E. Bradley. He was not only a personal friend but an able and discreet counselor. His frequent visits
57
SEVENTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT
to the library and his genial personality are greatly missed.
And now in closing this annual report, your librarian desires to express to the Board of Trustees his apprecia- tion of their deep and abiding interest in the problems and work of the library.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES C. FARNHAM, Librarian.
Randolph, Mass., Dec. 31, 1912.

TOWN OF RANDOLPH
Report of School Committee
Randolph, Mass., Dec. 30, '12 To the Citizens of Randolph :
In compliance with the statutes of the Commonwealth the School Committee submits its annual report for the year ending December 31, 1912.
Last Spring the Committee received instructions from the inspector of Public Buildings to make changes in some of our school buildings to comply with the law re- lating to exits from public buildings.
All the doors, of the Prescott Primary, leading to stair- ways and to the street, were changed to open outward. At the Prescott Grammar, new and up-to-date locks were substituted for the worn out ones on the outside doors. Similar changes were ordered in the Tower High School as well to provide a fire escape which was done.
Stetson High School opened the fall term with 160 pupils. 25 new desks and chairs were purchased to ac- commodate the increased attendance.
New desks were also placed in the Belcher School to meet the demand for more seats.
65
SEVENTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT
These expenses were unlooked for and consequently not included in the school appropriation for 1912 and will explain in part the overdrawn accounts.
The town valuation is now over two and one half mil- lions dollars, hence we are no longer entitled to a share of the State School Fund, although the usual amount was counted upon in the appropriations as submitted this year (1912).
For a second time within a few years complaint has been made to the inspector at the State House of the urgent need of better ventilation at the Belcher School, and the school board have received orders that the matter must be attended to at once.
An article will be placed in the warrant when the whole question of what would be most advisable will be decided by the voters of the town.
The board will also recommend the sale of the No. 1 School property.
Several changes have been made in our teaching force at Stetson High School. Miss Mabel M. Cassidy and Miss Margaret M. Noland resigned to accept positions in Lowell and Everett respectively.
These teachers rendered very faithful and efficient work during their term of service.
The vacancies have been filled by Miss Alice M. Rhin- halter and Miss Mildred Allen as Commercial teacher.
In the grades Miss Fannie Devine has been replaced by Miss Mae Lundergan of Brockton. Miss Devine re-
66
TOWN OF RANDOLPH
signed to accept a position in Brockton at an increased salary.
Miss Elizabeth Dean has been appointed to take charge of the overflow attendance at the Belcher School in a newly equipped room in the Prescott Primary.
A detailed statement of the receipts and expenditures of this department for the year ending Dec. 31, 1912, is annexed 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 Dec. 31, 1913.

To the Citizens of Randolph :
I have the honor of submitting to you the report of the school physician for the year 1912.
During the past year all pupils have been examined in relation to enlarged tonsils, care of hair and teeth, and to general physical condition.
During the year we were fortunate in not having an epidemic of any kind in our schools.
A sporadic case of varicella, a case of measles and one of scarlet fever appeared, but those were isolated as far as possible.
During the summer vacation many pupils had their tonsils and adenoids removed and good results followed upon their return to school.
We are still handicapped by poor ventilation at the Belcher School and some system must be installed at the earliest possible date.
Thanking our Superintendent, our teachers and Com- mittee for their co-operation in this work, I am
Respectfully yours,
G. V. HIGGINS, M. D.
