At recent inspections made by the American La France and Maxim Companies, the apparatus was found to be in good mechanical condition. The paint on the pump is in very poor condition and we recom- mend that it be painted this year.
The fire alarm system is in good condition. We find that it is money well spent to patrol the system every month and we have had this done this past year. New elements have been installed in the batteries and it will not be necessary to replace them again for at least four years.
158
TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.
As our fire alarm boxes are of a very old type it would be advisable to start to replace them this year with a modern box built to withstand the high voltage that is used on the Electric Light Company lines. The old boxes could be used to fill in on the streets where the boxes are spaced a long distance apart.
A new line will have to be built from the junction of Fowler and West Streets across Fowler Street to Warren, or the town will have to build and maintain a pole line along the present location on West Street.
As we carry twenty-eight hundred feet of hose on the trucks and as we have only twenty-nine hundred and fifty feet, it can readily be seen that in order to reload our trucks with dry hose after a fire we must have not less than a thousand feet more.
It should not be necessary to take the hose off of one truck to load the other in the event of two fires oc- curring within a day or two of each other, which has happened several times this year thus leaving one truck out of service for the time being.
Several times we have been seriously handicapped this year by not having ladders long enough to reach, it being necessary on one occasion to chop a hole through the roof for the man to get down, due to the ice and the ladder not reaching. As the pump is now paid for we feel that the town should buy a Ladder Truck fully equipped, and appoint a man to run the same.
We wish to express our appreciation for the quick response to our call for aid on April 6, 1928, to the Chief and men of the City of Brockton and the towns of Avon, Braintree and Holbrook.

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 fifty-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 submitted to the Trustees by the various committees as seems of general interest.
The Library Committee reports that the books, charts and furnishings are in good condition. All books be-

NINETY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT
longing to the library were accounted for by the Libra- rian.
The Building Committee reports that the building is in need of both interior and exterior repairs and an apropriation of $450 is requested.
The Ethelwyn M. C. Cox Fund given by Mr. Erskine H. Cox is proving a very usefuly addition to the re- sources of the library, the income being used for special purposes in accordance with Mr. Cox's instructions.
The Trustees believe that the use of the library by the public has increased during the past year, and the report of the Librarian indicates that this is true, at any rate, in the case of the pupils of the various schools. The Trustees feel, however, that the opportunities offered might be availed of to a much greater extent and again urge a fuller use of the facilities. There is a wide field of material to select from, both books and magazines.
The Trustees desire to express their appreciation of the faithful and efficient services of Miss Sarah C. Belcher, the Librarian, and Miss Eunice L. Belcher, the Assistant Librarian.
The report of the Librarian showing in detail the doings, management and results of the various depart- ments of the Library, the report of the Treasurer show- ing the investment of the funds and the receipts and expenditures of the Library, and the report of the Finance Committee are hereunto subjoined.

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN
To the Trustees of the Turner Free Library :
I have the honor to submit the annual report of the Turner Free Library for the year ending December 31, 1928.
The Library has been open to the public 303 days. 25,654 books have been loaned, also 239 unbound magazines.
305 books have been added to the Library during the year, making a total of 30,362 accessioned volumes.
294 books were added by purchase and 11 received as gifts. Among the latter one "Moon Moths and Wind Flowers" was donated by the author, Mrs. Ernest Bullock, a former resident of Randolph. It was appre- ciated and duly acknowledged.
The number of pupils, of our town and normal schools, using the reference room, increases each year. We need to purchase more reference books for their use. The reading room is not as much used by the adults as we wish, although we have the daily papers and current magazines on the table. The book-case in the room has many books of travel and adventure to be loaned or read in the reading room.
ยท The younger children are much pleased with the few new books purchased this year. We wish we might have many more for their use the coming year.
The Librarian wishes to express her thanks to her assistant and to the Trustees for their interest and co- operation.
Respectfully submitted, SARAH C. BELCHER, Librarian

NINETY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT
Report of the School Committee, 1928
To the Citizens of Randolph :
The annual report of the School Committee of the Town of Randolph for the year 1928 is herewith sub- mitted. We wish, at this time, to extend our thanks to the citizens for the increased interest they have taken this year in the education of our children.
The School Committee recommends that the follow- ing sums be appropriated for school expenses for the year-1929:
Stetson High School teaching $16,750.00
Teaching Grammar Schools 36,500.00
General school purposes 28,600.00
School Committee's Salary 300.00
-$82,150.00
During the year a few changes have been made in our teaching staff, and at the present time we feel that our organization is working very faithfully and harmoniously.
We desire at this time to call the attention of the citizens to the rapidly increasing enrollment in our schools, more especially in the north part of the town. It will be necessary to provide larger accommodations at North Randolph in the very near future, as the pres- ent building was taxed beyond capacity when school opened in September.
170
TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.
During the summer months several changes and re- pairs were made in some of the school buildings. At the Prescott School four rooms were newly painted, and ceilings whitened. In two of these rooms new floors were laid and new curtains supplied, and in one of these rooms new furniture was installed, putting the building in first-class condition except in the corridors. We hope it will be possible to repair these during the summer vacation.
At the Belcher School, the entire building was refin- ished new metal ceilings installed throughout all the rooms and corridors, new floors were laid in the old part of the building, all the rooms painted and the en- tire roof shingled, all of this work being paid for out of the fire insurance money except $500.00 appropri- ated by the town, placing this building in better con- dition than it has been for many years.
The installation of a heating and sanitation system at the Tower Hill School has placed that building in very good condition, except the floor in the upper class room, which we hope to replace this next summer. We hope to be able to paint the interior throughout.
We desire at this time to openly thank former Se- lectman Erskine H. Cox for his generosity in presenting our High School with a Lange Tellurian Globe for the Science Department.
In closing we again wish to thank the citizens for their past support, and invite the parents to visit the
171

schools, get acquainted with the teachers, and co-op- erate with them in the great work of educating the children.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the School Committee of Randolph :
Mr. Chairman and Members:
I present herewith my eighth annual report of the public schools of Randolph.
Public Schools were once considered objects of charity. This is not so today. The thinking public has made the public schools what they are today and it is the thinking public today who is wisely shaping the schools of the future. To such a public the support of schools ceases to be a tax and takes on the self-imposed obligation forever due our children.
Great as this cost of education has been and greater still the faith of the people in an ever-expanding public institution, yet all responsibility of training youth can- not be surrendered or placed in the hands of public servants. Education is fundamental, yet never com- plete, save as its truth and beauty is sweetened and tempered by the influence of the home and the church to the end that it shall find its highest expression in char- acter and service.

SCHOOL ACCOMMODATIONS
It is not always a pleasant task to remind the town's people of the ever-increasing needs of our schools.
A glance at the enrollment for this year will con- vince one that our building problem is not over. There is a net increase of one hundred eleven pupils over last year. The fall enrollment is the senior high school will be in the neighborhood of three hundred twenty pupils if our present registration is an index. That will call for
