On July 2, 1908, 150 adult beetles (Calosoma sycophants) were liberated near the Wellesley Farms station. At the end of the season this colony was scouted over and three or four hundred second molt skins of the beetle larvæ were found under the burlaps. These were only a small part of those in other parts of the trees and among the leaves on the ground.
There were also four or five molt skins found about half a mile from where the beetles were liberated.

MR. E. R. FARRAR,
LOCAL SUPERINTENDENT, LINCOLN, MASS
Dear Sir :-
In reply to your request of even date concerning the parasite work I wish to state that the work of importing and colonizing the various foreign insects, parasitic upon the gypsy and brown-tail moths, has been continued throughout the year, and the material imported while in actual amount not greatly in excess of that of previous
114
years since the work was begun, has been generally re- ceived in better condition, and has been more diverse in character. The actual number of beneficial insects lib- erated was far in excess of that of 1906 or 1907, and the list includes several of great importance and promise which have never before been received at the laboratory in a living condition or at all. The increase is due to several causes. The improved condition of the foreign material upon receipt and its great diversity in character are in part responsible ; also, better facilities are to be had at the laboratory, and the force there employed are more ex- perienced than in the past. Importations have been re- ceived from all of the central European countries as here- tofore, and in addition a large amount of material was se- cured from Japan through the efforts of Professor Trevor Kincaid of the University of Washington, Seattle, Wash- ington, who spent the entire season in Japan as an agent of the Commonwealth .. It was through him that the enormous numbers of cocoons of the Glyptapanteles were received. This insect has long been known as one of the most important of the natural enemies of the gypsy moth in Japan, and each year since the parasite work was begun attempts have been made to secure it, but invariably the parasites have been dead upon receipt; it therefore became necessary to employ especial care in the collection and packing of the material, shipping them in cold storage before success could be expected. This was ably con- ducted by Professor Kincaid.
From one shipment of the cocoons from Japan between 40,000 and 50,000 adults of the most important parasites of the genus Glyptapanteles were reared and liberated directly in the open. During the year nearly 200,000 of the most active enemies of the gypsy and brown-tail moths were liberated under the most favorable conditions, and we feel very well satisfied with the work as a whole.
The work upon predaceous beetles has been in some respects most satisfactory of any done at the laboratory.
115
In 1906 and again in 1907 considerable numbers of the most promising of these, Calosoma sycophanta, were im- ported as adults, and liberated in several localities in the infested district. In 1907 the beetles were found in nearly all of the localities where liberations were made the previ- ous season, and in 1908 they were again found in these colonies, and also in the colonies established in 1907. In most instances they were present in numbers sufficient to denote a most satisfactory rate of increase.
At this time it is not possible to give any definite in- formation as to what results will be obtained by the par- asites; but we feel that they are going to aid us very materially in the future.
Yours very truly, L. H. WORTHLEY, Acting Superintendent.
116
The following extracts are from the Report of the Entomologist of the United States Department of Agri- culture, Prof. L. O. Howard, for the year 1908 :-
"The main work in importing useful insects has been the continuation of the very large-scale efforts to introduce and acclimatize the foreign parasites of the gipsy moth and the brown-tail moth. The third innova- tion has been an attempt to secure Japanese parasites of the gipsy moth.
A very large amount of parasitic material has been received in good condition at Boston, and very many parasites from Japan have been colonized in the woodlands of New England.
The colonization work has been going on rapidly during the summer of 1908. Thus making nearly 200,000 of the most active enemies of the gipsy moth and brown-tail moth liberated under the most favorable conditions during the year. . This makes a total of 57 beneficial species, enemies of gipsy moth or brown-tail moth, or both, that have been brought over in the course of this work. The outlook is more favorable than at any period during the progress of the work. Success seems an ultimate certainty, but the time at which perfectly obvious results will be apparent is as yet uncertain."

Report of the School Building Committee.
The new schoolhouse was completed and opened for the inspection of the citizen on Saturday afternoon, January 2, 1909. On the following Monday morning. which was the beginning of the winter term, the building was turned over to the use of the School Committee.
All of the work has been finished with the exception of a portion of the grading. which is being done by Cunning- ham Bros., and this will be started as early in the Spring - as the weather will permit. It is proposed to set out shrubs and vines about the building and also a few trees. Through the kindness of Mr. John H. Pierce, who has permitted us to remove a large amount of gravel and filling from his land adjoining the schoolhouse lot, we have been able to make a substantial reduction in the cost of the. grading.
The original contract included the completion of only one room in the second story. After the building had been commenced the School Committee requested ad- ditional room for teaching cooking and sewing and the middle portion of the building was finished off. At the beginning of the fall term, finding it necessary to provide accommodations for an additional class the Building Com- mittee decided that it would be advisable to equip the unfinished room on the east end of the second story and thus have a completed building.
The Committee wish to publicly express their thanks to Mr. George S. Baldwin for the handsome clock, which was presented by him to the Town and has been placed on the front of the building, and also to Miss Bemis for the drinking fountain which is to be set up in the first floor corridor.
119
Thanks are due Mr. Robert D. Donaldson, the con- tractor for the building, for the splendid flag pole which he has caused to be erected. We are also indebted to in- terested friends for the beautiful pictures and plaster bas reliefs, and to the school children for a large flag.

Report of the Trustees of the Lincoln Public Library
The Trustees respectfully submit their annual report for the year closing February 1, 1909 :-
The accompanying statistical exhibit of the Librarian sets forth clearly and in sufficient detail the present size and condition of the Library, the additions to it during the year, and the degree of use made of it. The figures indi- cate no material change calling for comment or explana- tion. The growth both of the collection, and of the read- ing habit of the borrowers from it, has been only normal. It is much to be desired that some intelligent direction should be given to the use made of the library, especially by the school children and those of the younger generation, the books borrowed and read, and the lines of amusement, instruction and study followed by the borrowers. As the case now stands, it is greatly to be feared that in Lincoln, as in all other towns everywhere, the reading done by the borrowers is, as a whole, of a most casual and some- what resultless character. On any correct theory of its use the Public Library should supplement the Public School,-so rounding out a well-considered system of education. In practice, this is so to a very limited extent only; and yet the lack is one difficult to supply. To sup- ply it, indeed, calls for a knowledge in some one both of literature and of human nature in its more immature period, not easy to find, especially when accompanied by an unselfish and thoroughly public spirited devotion to an always unremunerative, and often ungrateful and dis- appointing task. In the hands of such a laborer the Lincoln Public Library would speedily make its influence felt as a great educational factor in the Town; but at present there are no apparent indications of such a de- velopment. The Town and the Trustees have done all in their power to do; the material is provided and on hand
121
ready for the workman; that he or she will, however, soon appear is not probable. In the mean time, in the immedi- ate future as in the recent pass, the present condition of affairs will continue with little prospect of any considerable change. That condition is by no means all it should be, or all that the Trustees would like to have it; but it is a distinct improvement on what was in the more remote past, and it will compare sufficiently well with conditions in neighboring cities and towns. From this point of view Lincoln has nothing to complain of.
The material condition of the Library building is excel- lent. It calls for no further immediate repairs or outlay.
The report of the Treasurer is also herewith submitted. From this report it appears that, during the year, all the expenses of the Library have been met out of the income available therefor, and it enters upon the new Town year with a balance of $300.39 to the good, as compared with a similar balance of $196.14 at the beginning of the year just closed. From this statement it would also appear that the aggregate cost of each book borrowed from the Library during the year has been .1633 cents, a somewhat large amount. In making this estimate, however, the use made of the Library building by readers and as an attractive place of improving resort is not taken into account. They are none the less important factors in its usefulness.
The usual appropriation ($500 and the dog-tax) on behalf of the institution is asked for.
By order of the Board of Trustees.
