We can only report the continued prosperity and success of the library and reading room. The income from the dog fund was reduced by $76.92 this year from the amount received the previous year, which compelled a curtailment in the purchase of books, and is to be regretted. A new supply of books has been ordered and will soon be on the shelves, but payment for this lot will deplete the surplus shown as on hand in the above report.


The ordinary electric lights were replaced with the new tungsten lamps, this winter, which not only effected quite a saving in the cost of lighting the library, but at the same time, produced much higher candle power, lighting the rooms as never before.


The library is being used more and more as a valuable adjunct to our school system.

TREE WARDEN'S REPORT


For Year 1909.


I sprayed the elm trees of the town carefully once during the months of May and June, and in July went over a few trees the second time. Apparently the spraying so effectually checked the elm-leaf beetle that most of the trees retained their leaves in a healthy condition until fall, and in all probability this year's spray- ing will give even better results.

Report of School Committee.


The School Committee submit the following report for the year ending March 1, 1910.


CHANGES IN TEACHING FORCE


Resignations-Miss Miriam Harris, High school; Miss Marjorie Doherity, grades VII and VIII ; Miss Oda Ware, grade I ; Miss Belle Brown, Old Douglas ; Miss Elinor M. Shaw, South Douglas ; Miss Addie Sweet, Music Instructor.


Elections-Miss Aimee Currier, High school ; Miss Lucile Blanchard, grades VII and VIII; Miss Elizabeth Poole, Grade I ; Miss Gertrude Smith, Old Douglas; Miss Alma Quintal, South Douglas. Since the resignation of Miss Sweet we have had no special instructor in music, the work having been handled by the regular teachers.


The committee believe our superintendent and teachers have been conscientiously endeavoring to keep our schools in a progres- sive state. We have been especially pleased with the method and activity shown by them in taking up Manual Training. The girls in some of the grades have been making "individual" towels for use in the schools.


7


Our repairs for the year were somewhat heavier than usual. At East Douglas, in March, in each of the eight rooms, picture molding was added to make the finish of the rooms more complete. We were influenced to this improvement by the success of our teachers in their efforts to secure good pictures to add to the at- tractiveness of the rooms. The buildings at East Douglas and Old Douglas were given a coat of paint in the summer vacation. The inside walls of the West Douglas school were tinted and those at South Douglas were papered. Other minor repairs were made at East Douglas and Old Douglas.
