REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON COMPILATION OF LIST OF SOLDIERS SERVING IN WORLD WAR
To the Board of Selectmen :
The committee appointed by the Town at its last annual meeting to compile a list of the soldiers from the Town of Palmer serving in the World War submits the following report :
Your committee has carefully gone over the records and lists of men reported as serving in the army, navy, marine corps, and as nurses in the World War, who are or should be credited to the Town of Palmer, and has placed its records in the hands of the Adjutant General's Department for the completion of the history of each individual. The department has not yet completed its work. On its completion a card index record of each person will be placed in the custody of the Town Clerk, where it will be available for future reference. It will be necessary that the appropriation of $300 previously made for this Committee be held in reserve to meet the charge of the Commonwealth, and other expenses.
Respectfully submitted, ROBERT W. BODFISH, Chairman, R. LEWIS THAYER, JR., JOHN F. FOLEY, 2nd,

Report of Chief of Police
Palmer, Mass., January 1, 1924.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen :
In the year 1923, 208 cases, not including cases against juvenile offenders, were prosecuted in the local district court against 170 persons for offenses committed within the limits of the Town of Palmer. Of the persons brought before the court in these cases 97 were residents and 73 were non-residents; 163 were males and 7 were females. A list of the cases follows :

There have been no changes in the personnel of the police during the year. The officers have attended to
Their duties faithfully in the several villages of the town and good public order has been maintained.
In my judgment the time has come when the services of a day patrolman are required in the Depot Village. It has been my endeavor to keep a watchful eye upon the streets at all times. However, I am called upon to make so many investigations, especially with reference to auto- mobile cases, which require my presence in remote sec- tions of the town, that at many times, particularly on busy Saturdays and Sundays, the streets are without police protection that is required. Then, too, my presence is required very frequently at the criminal sittings of the Superior Court, and in the committal of prisoners from the court to the various prisons in the Commonwealth. This work which I am obliged to do also leaves the town in the day time without the police protection that is ·desirable. I therefore suggest to you and to the voters of the town that proper action be taken which will pro- vide for the presence of a uniformed police officer upon the streets of the Depot Village at all necessary hours of the day.
TIMOTHY J. CRIMMINS,
Chief of Police.
Report of the Young Men's Library Association
1
REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN Year Ending December 31, 1923 To the Members of the Young Men's Library Association :
I herewith submit my thirteenth annual report as Librarian of your Association. The report will be brief :
CIRCULATION
The total circulation for the year was 65,167, divided as follows : Main Library, 36,382; Three Rivers Branch, 18,246; Thorndike Branch, 7,449; Bondsville Branch. 2,823; School Deposits, 267.
This year's circulation, compared with that of last year, shows a decrease of 204. The decrease is small. Instead of a decrease, there should have been, at least, 2 slight increase.
Several factors have entered into the slight loss in circulation, such as change in personnel of attendants and failure to take full advantage of the possibilities of the State Reading Plan. This State Reading Plan offers unusual opportunities for increasing circulation. This year a special effort will be made, if possible, to have the State Reading Plan thoroughly understood. It has won- derful possibilities in creating potential library patrons. The entire idea underlying the Plan is to take advantage of the habit-forming period of youth and inculcate during this period the habit of reading the right kind of liter- ature.
81
Personally, your Librarian will not be satisfied until the circulation of your library has reached 75,000 per year-a circulation well within reasonable expectations, if our institution can be made to function as fully as it should.
STATE READING PLAN
Mention has been made under "Circulation" of the State Reading Plan, a method of procedure which was somewhat fully elaborated in last year's report. Further comment seems advisable. This scheme comprises a well- graded list of reading for the various grades in the schools, together with certain certificates which are to be presented to pupils who have read a certain number of the required books and have given to the Librarian satis- factory evidence of having done so. These books-sev- eral hundred in number-have been purchased by us and have been placed in our Main Library, the Thorndike Branch, the Three Rivers Branch, and in the school building at Bondsville. Several certificates have been already earned by the pupils in the schools.
A plan is to be devised whereby some sort of a re- ward will be offered to the room or rooms in the various schools which secure the largest number of certificates within a definite period of time. The trophy probably will be a silk flag, the same to be held by the winning room until the expiration of the next time period of the contest. If such a plan can be put into operation and if someone can be given the task of checking up on the plan from time to time, there is no reason why a large increase in interest cannot be secured.
This State Reading Plan not only teaches the child the habit of reading, but gives him excellent training in reading and interpreting what he reads. If the one who does the testing knows thoroughly the books read, she can develop in the child great facility in the telling of what has been read. After all, the chief end sought in
82
all reading is the securance by the reader of the thought conveyed in the written or printed word. In other places, where they are successfully carrying out this State Read- ing Plan, these results have been secured. A vast im- provement in the child's power to tell what he has read has been noticed.
This is particularly true in Ware, where the one who hears the reports rendered by the children is the ex- superintendent of schools in that town. He is particu- larly well fitted for this sort of work, as he understands children and their ability to reproduce what they have read. The teachers in the schools note marked improve- ment in the child's ability to interpret what he reads in such studies as History, Geography, etc. Whereas we may not equal the success attained in Ware, there is no reason why, with proper attention given, we cannot ap- proach similar attainment.
APPRECIATION
The purpose of the Young Men's Library Associa- tion is the same as has been often reiterated in this report during the past thirteen years. The Association is the servant of the people, supported in the main by their money, and very mindful of this fact. The Association recognizes fully the generous support which the Town has accorded it. Full appreciation of the many things which the Town has done for the Association is ever present in the minds of those who are directing the affairs of the Library. The Association desires to meet every need felt by the community in the matter of reading and will gladly welcome at any time any suggestions which any have to offer. Those directing the Library have no interest other than making the Library a distinct contribution to the well-being of the community of Palmer.
