Report of Committee
APPOINTED TO PURCHASE AND LOCATE MARKERS FOR THE GRAVES OF THE SOLDIERS OF THE COLONIAL WARS, THE WAR OF THE REVOLUTION AND THE WAR OF 1812.
The committee appointed to purchase and locate markers for the soldiers of the wars above mentioned would report the purchase of markers for the soldiers of the Colonial Wars and the location of those with the Revolutionary markers bought last year, at the graves of all known soldiers of these wars. The occasion was observed with appropriate exercises at Palmer Center. These were to have been held on the historic old Common but because of inclement weather were held in the schoolhouse, Dr. O. P. Allen, Superintendent of Schools Clifton H. Hobson, Prof. Rufus W. Stimson and others participating. The list of participants in the War of 1812 the committee could not obtain, and consequently no action was taken.

Report of Committee
APPOINTED TO PROCURE A WATER SUPPLY FOR THE TOWN FARM.
The committee appointed by the town to procure a water supply for the town farm would report that springs were located on land owned by the town at an elevation of about 50 feet higher than the farm buildings.
The contract for building the reservoir and digging and laying the pipe was let to John Sullivan of Bondsville. Connections have been made with all parts of the house and farm buildings.
The committee believe that an ample supply of water of excellent quality has been secured.

Report of Board of Health.
The Board of Health of the Town of Palmer respectfully sub- mits the following report :
There has been a gratifying decrease in the number of cases of contagious disease in the town the past year, 46 as compared with 102 for 1910. We feel that in a measure this reflects credit on the policy of the Board in its method of isolation of cases. We would call attention to the fact that we have been more lenient in some ways, such as allowing the wage earner of the family to work and at the same time enjoy his home life, insisting only that he keep away from the patient sick with contagious disease. The decrease is the more gratifying in that it has not worked harm to the public. We feel that medical inspection of schools, the District Nurse and the assistance of the Inspector of the State Board of Health and the usual method of diagnosing diphtheria by cultures all have had a hand in decreasing the contagious diseases.
The building of sewers as recommended in our report of last year is an accomplished fact and will eliminate some nuisances long in our midst.
The regulation of the board relating to the keeping of pigs within certain limits of the town has had a fair trial and we are sure many people are pleased at the result. We urge voters to acquaint themselves with this regulation. The chief difficulty the board found in its enforcement was due to the fact that owners of pigs did not understand the regulation.
There seems to be some misunderstanding also in regard to reporting nuisance to this board. Many such reported are not nuisances dangerous to public health but to the public eye. These our board has no control over and other departments of the town are
88
to be notified. Any nuisance liable to affect public health will always meet with prompt action on our part if properly reported to us and we find little trouble in quietly arranging for the relief of the same.
For the appropriation for the coming year we ask for $1000.
Following is the report of contagious diseases :

Board of Health, Palmer, Mass.
Gentlemen :
Enclosed I hand you my report of the work!submitted to"me during the year ending February 29, 1912.
A large number of cases of inflammation of the throat have been submitted during the past year, almost all of which have been submitted at the beginning of the illness, namely for diagnosis.
A total of sixty-three cases have been tested, fifty-nine of which were for diagnosis, and of these, thirty-two showed diphtheria bacilli, while twenty-seven were negative.
The total number of cultures examined from these sixty-three cases has been large, namely one hundred and fifty-three, owing to the regularity with which positive cases have been tested for release. It is a matter of gratification that your Board follows out so well the method of not discharging a case of diphtheria from isolation until two consecutive negative cultures have been obtained.
The following table shows the work done month by month :

Young Men's Library Association.
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN FOR THE YEAR ENDING MARCH 1, 1912.
To the members of the Young Men's Library Association :
I herewith submit my first annual report as librarian of your association. My duties as such have only extended over a period of a few weeks ; consequently, there are serious limitations to my ability to report upon the past year's work or make many definite suggestions for the work of the coming year. Nevertheless, there are several matters of importance, which are already under way or have been done, that can be spoken of ; also, there are several sug- gestions for the increased efficiency of the library that I wish to offer.
In the first place, allow me to tell something regarding what has been done the past year. During this last year, the circulation has increased materially. The year previous the circulation was 18,112 ; this year it was 20,044. This is an increase of 1,932, or a little more than 10%. The number of books purchased in the year 1910-11 was 152; in 1911-12, the number purchased was 549, an increase of 261%. The number of people who used the reading room in 1910-11 was 6,773; in 1911-12, the number was 8,032, an increase of 20%. The only decrease was in the number of non- fiction books taken out. In 1910-11, 3,616 books of this nature. were taken out; in 1911-12, only 3,429 were in use. This was a decrease of 187, or 5%. This brief review of the statistics clearly indicated that the library has been meeting the wants of its patrons.
The directors decided to renovate the library completely, and this work is now in progress. It is believed that this work of reno- vation will be finished by the first of April. The work done and the

work to be done included the following :-- the cleaning of cellar and the installation of electric lights therein ; the repairing of library furniture ; the calcimining of the walls in the reading, reference, and stack room ; the shellacking of the floors in the same rooms ; the re- finishing of the window-stools and outside doors ; the cutting down of the book stacks and the re-arranging of the stack room ; the lay- ing of linoleum on the stack room floor ; the purchasing of a desk and filing cabinet for the librarian. These repairs were absolutely necessary. It was not a matter of economy to postpone them any longer, as the need was such that further delay would allow an almost irreparable condition to arise. The cellar was so filled with paper and waste material that it readily invited a serious conflagra- tion. The wood work around the windows, the outside doors, and the floors would soon wear away. Consequently, the directors, fortunately having the money, decided to make these repairs at once. The total cost will be some $300. It seems only just that the town should add this amount, for this year only, to the annual appropria- tion for the library, for I believe the town is financially responsible for keeping the building in good working order. I would suggest that an additional appropriation of $300 be asked from the town this year.
When these repairs are completed, the stack room will be thrown open to public for its use. The books will be so arranged that everyone can enter the stack room, select his own book. bring it to the librarian on duty for charging, and thus be at liberty to find and select any book that he wishes. This is a privilege that the pub- lic should appreciate fully and use in such a manner as to merit its continuance. A reserve list will be kept, and the name of anyone wishing a book that is out, if he will give his name to the librarian on duty, will be entered in order of his application upon the waiting list. Our aim is, as is evident, to place everyone on the same foot- ing, showing partiality to none, except it be to him who first comes. "First come, first serve," is our motto from now on.
We also have some suggestion slips, to which we call the pat- rons' particular attention. If some book that you wish is not owned by the library, or if, in your judgment, it does not own a sufficient number of the same book, kindly ask the librarian for a suggestion slip and write thereon your desire. The library stands ready to meet any reasonable suggestion ; but, if it does not know that it is

failing to provide what you wish, it surely cannot meet it. Kindly "register your kicks" with us.
Some years ago a catalogue of books for school children was published. In this, the books were graded so as to be suitable for children from grades 3 to 9, inclusive. This list has been carefully inspected, worn out books are being replaced, and a strong effort will be made to have the library and the school work together in ed- ucating the children of the town.
"Reading maketh a full man," says Bacon. What more valuable habit can be formed than that of reading good books? What better companionship can be secured than that of a good book ? Friends may forsake you ; but a good book will never fail you. The time to form this habit is in early youth and childhood. Then the mind is plastic and habits can be readily formed. This habit, like all habits, once formed, is not easily broken. Then, again, the kind of reading depends upon the material furnished, the extent of supervision given it, and the amount of encouragement offered. The children in your public schools are the future patrons of your library and citizens of your town. Why not start them right now ?
With this in mind, library books, some 40 to 60 in number, are to be placed in the schools in the villages and districts, where they will be within easy access of the children. These books will be good books. Plenty of encouragement will be given the children to read, and the result carefully noted. If this does not bring about the desired effect, still further inducements to read will be furnished by the establishment of a reading circle, as advocated in the report of the Superintendent of Schools. The establishment of reading centers in the schools will undoubtedly increase the circulation to a large extent. It is planned to give each center a fresh supply every five or six weeks. Personally I know of no service of greater need, magnitude, or timeliness that the library can render this town than this library extension work in the schools. It will cost some money, but the outlay will be small when compared with the results that will accrue from such an expenditure.
We anticipate a busy, useful year. We expect to meet the de- mands of the public. We hope to be open to suggestions. We ardently desire to merit the continued confidence of the town. We can do all of this only by dint of hard work.
Permit me to call your careful attention to the Treasurer's re-
94
port. Note the fixed expenses, such as assistant librarian's and janitor's salaries, and the cost of fuel and light. You will see that it amounts to some $800. This does not leave a very large amount to be invested in books. Careful, discriminate judgment must be used to meet such demands with so small an available amount of money. I trust that the amount expended for repairs will be given you this year.
