REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN FOR THE YEAR ENDING MARCH 1, 1911.
I herewith submit my fourth annual report as librarian of your association.
During the year 1910-11, more books both of fiction and of non-fiction have circulated than ever before ; 6,773 people have patronized the reading room ; and many valuable books have been added to the library. The year, therefore, has been marked by progress along some lines.
Changes are contemplated that will improve the service of the library, such as a reserve list, free access to the books on the shelves, and the establishment of a library center in each one of the school buildings at Thorndike. Bondsville, Three Rivers, Forest Lake, Palmer Center, Shorley District and Wire Mill.
Many people go to the library for a certain book only to be told that the book is out. Possibly many later calls for the same book are met with a like answer. The result is discouragement, criticism of the library, and sometimes doubt as to whether or not the book was really out when called for.
To insure just treatment to all patrons of the library I recommend the inauguration of a reserve system so that a person who calls for a book that is out may have his name and the title of the book placed on a reserve slip, and then notified, when the book has been returned, that it will be kept for him twenty-four hours. If he has not sufficient interest in the book to call for it within that time the person who is second on the list is notified in like manner, and so on. By such method everybody is sure of getting the book he wants sooner or later.
97
Frequently from six to ten persons are obliged to wait before the counter in the library until they can be served in turn by the assistant librarian.
This method has resulted in much inconvenience to patrons and in some cases has developed disuse of the library.
It is proposed to allow and to encourage free access to the books on the shelves by making it possible for users of the library to pass directly into the stack room where the books are so classified that one can find in a short time all the books that are available on the subject in mind. After a book has been selected it will then be taken to the desk to be charged.
It is believed that this method of getting at the books will be appreciated and will increase the number of patrons of the library. .
The establishment of the schools as library centers is in line with the policy of library extension all over the country. By this means the library is brought to the door of those who on account of distance do not come to the library.
The aim is to supply the class of books that each center demands in order to serve its patrons. That will make it necessary to have seven or eight copies of some books, but the needs will thereby be met.
Each center will contain books that are adapted to the vocational needs of its constituency and it is thought that this service will be appreciated and will be of value.
ยท It will require all of our appropriation of fifteen hundred dollars to equip these various centers with books and fit them to be of service. I believe, however, that even more money would be readily raised and appropriated for the use of the library association if a distinct service could be rendered to the people in the various parts of the town through the establishment and equipment of these centers.

Report of the School Committee.
To the citizens of Palmer :
The School Committee submits for your consideration its annual report for the year ending March 1st, 1911. The report is made in compliance with the Statutes of the Commonwealth and is the sixty-first in this series.
It is usually customary to say that our schools are steadily and uniformly improving and the impression is given that if we could pay larger salaries, our schools would immediately reach a standard of excellence not surpassed by any in the State. During the year we have found occasion to realize that no matter how capable a teacher may be, or how large a salary is paid, the .work must be conducted and continually supervised on a detailed and systematic plan with a definite object in view, if the best results are to be obtained.
With the idea in mind that the citizens of the town ought to know fully what the situation is as the Committee sees it, a short resume of the year's work may not be inappropriate. Our efforts to introduce in our schools the Manual Training Course, consisting of wood-working for the boys and sewing for the girls above the Seventh Grade, developed the fact that the Drawing Course was conducted on the inspirational method without a satisfactorily detailed and systematic plan. A plan for this work having been arranged in accordance with the views of the Committee, it resulted in the resignation of the teacher. This work is now conducted on a carefully detailed plan with a definite object in view, and it is hoped that the character of the work obtained both in the Manual Training and the Drawing will demonstrate the wisdom of the plan and the efficiency of the teacher now in charge of this work. (We invite
104
your attention to this work, especially to the exhibition of it at the close of the school year. )
The character of the penmanship as shown by the work of the pupils throughout the schools has been unsatisfactory, and an attempt has been made to improve this condition by securing for a limited number of lessons to the teachers, the services of an acknowledged practical expert in this line. The same expert has been giving a series of lessons in penmanship to the teachers of the City of Springfield, and it is hoped that our teachers will be able to incorporate in their daily lessons the principles advocated with a corresponding increase in the quality of the pupil's work.
It has appeared to your Committee that oral expression in the daily work of the schools has not been what it ought to be either in quantity or quality. Failure to give more attention to this line of work has borne the natural fruit when it is found almost impossible to get students in the High School to take part in declamatory exer- cises or in those devoted to self expression, unless it is for an enter- tainment to aid in defraying the expense of the Washington trip, or some other social or personal pleasure. Your Committee believes that declamatory exercises with self expression in debate among the pupils of the High School on the subject of the current events of the day or on subjects connected with the history of our country will be an educational factor of great value and enable the students to utilize more fully than they could otherwise do, the knowledge they possess. It is not intended to aim at the production of trained and eloquent speakers, but it is intended that more attention shall be given to oral expression through the grades and that the High School pupils shall have an opportunity of giving a practical demonstration of their effi- ciency in the use of our language. With this thought in mind the Committee are considering the question of making work of this character a part of the English course and one of its absolute requirements.
Any attempt to correct only in the High School the evils mentioned will do very little good, for it does not touch the root of the difficulty which it is believed exists in our Grammar Schools. The attempt to remedy evils of the nature mentioned when the pupils enter the High School reminds one of the action of a farmer who might, when his apple trees were in blossom, sprinkle the branches with fertilizer with the expectation of increasing the quality of the
105
crop, without having paid very much attention to the character and tillage of the soil where the seed was planted.
Another difficulty in improving the condition of the work is that a number of teachers continue to leave our Grammar Schools for larger salaries elsewhere, and in this way not only break up the con- tinuity of the work, but remove from the ranks of our teachers the spirit of ambition and emulation that is inspired by exceptionally good work. We have no thought that salaries should be raised to the extent of preventing this entirely, but if we could pay one dollar per week additional to our Grammar School teachers it would be a long step in the direction of placing the salaries of these teachers more nearly in line with what is being paid in towns of our size throughout the state, and would be a just recognition of the faithful service of a body of hard-working and conscientious public servants. In our financial report we have asked you for the funds necessary to do this.
The dual position of Principal of the High School and Superin- tendent of Schools develops a condition which results in either the High School or the Grammar Schools being neglected, and it is usually the Grammar Schools. The Committee feels that each child in the Grammar School is an American citizen, and is as much en- titled to have his work systematically planned and efficiently super- vised as any child in the High School.
Our Superintendent has devoted more time than usual during the past year to the Grammar School work in an effort to remedy existing evils, but naturally with a corresponding neglect of the High School work. It is a physical impossibility for any man to do justice either to his ability and reputation as a teacher, or to the general character of his work, under this system of teaching and supervising in the High School and superintending the Grammar School work. It is but fair to say that the Superintendent has met the Committee in the discussion of these matters in an open-minded manner, and has made a strong effort to carry into effect their views and requirements with as good results as can probably be obtained under this system. While the work in our schools is not deteriorat- ing and is not stationary, but on the contrary it is being slowly im- proved and is supplying the needs of this community in an educa- tional line more fully than ever before, as is shown by the apprecia- tion and advantage taken of the Manual Training Course, and of the
106
Commercial Course, which has twice the number of students that had been expected, your Committee, however, believes that you cannot obtain for the money you are spending the full benefit in the quality and efficiency of the product that ought to be obtained until you separate the position of the Principal of the High School from that of Superintendent of Schools. We have, therefore, in our financial report asked you for the necessary funds to enable us to separate the position of Principal of the High School from that of Superintendent of Schools.
During the past year the assembly hall in the Three Rivers school has been divided into two school rooms with a small hall between them at an expense of two hundred fifty dollars ($250) taken from the regular repair account. The grading and the side- walks at the High School building have been completed with the exception of the seeding of the lot which will be done in the Spring, and the special appropriation of three hundred dollars ($300) has been used for this purpose.
The increased demand for more room at the High School makes it necessary to partition the assembly hall into two regular school rooms. Some equipment will also be necessary for this building as well as for some of the District Schools and in our financial report we have asked you for a special appropriation for carrying out this work.
We call your attention to the report of the Superintendent of Schools which is made a part of this report.
