In December, 1959, the Town voted to appropriate $5, 500 for repair and waterproofing of roofs and walls of the original building. Based on contractors' estimates,
113
LIBRARY
t was expected that this sum would accomplish only part of the job. However, roofs, gutters and spouts have been thoroughly checked and repaired, the brick and stone work pointed, and the shaky southwest chimney rebuilt, all within the appropriation. There remain some jobs of re- pair and redecoration, but on the whole the building is in good condition.
The appearance of the grounds was greatly helped this year not only by planting suggestions made by the Town Landscape Committee but by gifts from the Garden Club and other interested friends. The plants and flowers which add so much to the interior of the building have also been gifts.
The Trustees wish to express appreciation for the interest and assistance of the Selectmen. In such opera- tions as the widening of Library Lane and the repairs to the building, as well as in financial and other matters, their advice and help have eased operations and saved un- necessary expense.
Again this year the Library has turned back to the Town a part of its appropriation. This does not mean that unnecessary funds were provided, but only that in planning and carrying out expenditures in a rigid 12-month period it is seldom possible to make time and money come out even. We prefer if possible to run out of time.
The Library's published budget reflects all the money available to the Library except for outright gifts. The income from Library trust funds (about $300), the dog tax applied toward the Library (lately about $850), the book fines collected by the Library ($1289 in 1960), and any amount that may be received from the State as library aid, all are paid to the Town treasury. Thus the Library does not have sources of income other than the amount voted by the Town each year.
Figures published in the Town Reports indicate that over the past twenty years the Library's operating ex- penses (not counting the cost of the 1958 building addi- tion and the 1960 major roof and wall overhaul) have ranged from 1.2% to 1.9% of the Town's total annual expenditures. In proposing a budget for each coming year we aim to assure not merely adequacy but a measure of progress. Both the Librarian and the Trustees continue to welcome suggestions as to books, facilities and services the Library should provide for the Town.

LIBRARIAN
Maryalice Thoma
In 1960 the circulation of the Lincoln Library con- tinued to grow. 44,746 books were borrowed from the Library: 24,608 juvenile and 20,138 adult. These figures show an increase of 457 books per month over 1959.
We added 1,945 books to the library collection this year, of which 622 were gifts. During this same period, 845 books were withdrawn from the collection. Withdrawals consisted mainly of out-of-date science books, both juven- ile and adult, and old novels which had not circulated for two years or more. Our total book collection now numbers 16,890 volumes.
With the growing circulation the need for volunteers has increased. A total of 52 hours a week is given by volunteers who come regularly to process books, shelf-read, take charge of the circulation desks, type and repair books . in bad condition. Without the help of these "regulars", the Library services to the Town would be seriously im- paired.
In addition to the volunteers we have had a group of seven pages. High school students, boys and girls, have been paid 75ยข an hour to put books back on the shelves, to move books on over-crowded shelves, to arrange in proper order magazines in the downstairs reading room, and to assist at the circulation desks.
We were gratified with the response to the question- naire mailed to the townspeople in April. Of the people who replied, less than 15% could not find the books they most wanted in the Library. About 50% of the Library users read mainly for pleasure; 25% for study, and 25% for research. We found 50% of the regular Library users are over 16 years old, 30% are from 10 to 15 years old, and 20% under 10.
In order to get more ideas on how best to serve the needs of Lincoln, there were three meetings at the Library this year. In the spring, the Library trustees and li- brarians met with Mrs.Jones, Librarian of the Lincoln schools, Mr. Filbin and Mr. Burke, principals of the Lin- coln schools, and Miss Stoneham, Librarian of the Lincoln
115
LIBRARY
Sudbury Regional High School. At this meeting we dis- cussed methods of coordinating the facilities of the three libraries to best assist students in their outside re- search. As a direct result of this meeting, Mr. Burke and all the teachers of the Smith School met at the Library in October to look over the Library's collection of books in their special fields and to offer suggestions for titles to be bought in the future. A similar meeting with High School teachers was postponed until the Spring of 1961; however, several High School teachers have visited the Library and offered suggestions for future purchases.
On October 11 the fall meeting of the Lincoln Parents League was held in the Library. Mr. Frank Hays of the English Department of the Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School gave an extremely interesting and timely talk about censorship of books for young adults. Mrs. Thoma spoke briefly on the facilities of the Reference Room and how to use them.
On November 15, Mr. Henry B. Kane was guest of honor at a reception opening a two-week display of his drawings, photographs and books.
On December 19 the Library again held an outdoor Christmas carol program with playing by the Church of Chris Guild of Bell Ringers of Bedford, selections by the Smith School choir, and singing by all.
For helping to publicize Library events and covering its news, Mrs. Nathaniel C. Gerson, Lincoln Editor of the Fence Viewer, deserves the thanks of the Library and all who are interested in it.
One of the most thoughtful gifts of this year was given by the Sioux Patrol of Boy Scouts. The resignation of Mr. Frank Hancock, our custodian, because of illness, left the Library without a person to mop, sweep and dust, and the dirt piled up. Promptly, the Sioux Patrol offered their services and came armed with brooms, mops and dusters When they left, the Library was clean as the proverbial whistle. Truly a very "Good Deed".

J. Bertram Kessel, Chairman
The purpose of the Recreation Committee is to pro- mote and supervise wholesome and enriching leisure time activities for the children and adults of Lincoln. Its major program is the five-week summer playground session. Other programs occurring in fall, winter and spring are: adult tennis tournaments; Saturday touch football, soccer, and basketball for boys; and evening basketball for men.
The summer playground program was staffed by: Albert Reed, Diane Furber, Winifred Wightman, Judy Sherman, Nicholas Charney, Marsha Belanger, Diane Powers and Robert DeCilio. Roger Bergen, Michael Ciraso and Oscar DeConto maintained the tennis courts and playfields. Major acti- vities: tennis (120), swimming (200), arts and crafts, gymnastics, games and sports, campcraft, dramatics, story- telling, and music. Special events centered around a Circus Week, Frontier Day, Indian Day and Doll Show.
The Boston Children's Theatre Stagemobile came to Lincoln to present two plays: Jack and the Beanstalk and The Land of the Jesters. Two trips were made: one to Weston for a baseball game, the other to visit Drumlin Farm. Wednesday noon was set aside for cook-outs. Atten- dance on the playground fluctuated from 275 to 70.
In addition to the regular tennis instruction program Lincoln participated in the New England Junior Tennis League (boys) for the second year and in the New England Junior Tennis Wightman Cup (girls).
Future plans of the Committee are centered around two of its sub-committees: one to study the aquatic needs of the Town and the other to study the need for the acqui- sition of playfield space in the north and south sections of the Town. The Committee is also considering the pro- motion of activities desired by girls such as tap dancing and roller skating.

SCHOOLS, LIBRARY AND RECREATION
TRUSTEES OF BEMIS FUND FOR FREE PUBLIC LECTURES
Paul Brooks Margaret Wood Thomas Winship, Chairman
The Bemis Lectures had a vigorous 67th year of pre- senting a series of free lectures for citizens of Lincoln. The season opened on October 10, 1960, with an evening many Lincolnians will long remember. Robert Frost read his poems and told stories -- salted down by smatterings of choice New England philosophy -- to an audience that overflowed into the balcony, the stage and the downstairs hearing room.
The 1960-61 program was varied, as usual. The Frost visit was followed by a Tom Keith illustrated talk on the last around-the-world voyage of the Yankee sailing ship. Next came a delightful talk on Lincoln's past and present by the Town's own Roland Robbins, a nationally- recognized archaeologist and restoration expert. Julien Bryan, with an illustrated journey through Siberia, closed the year.
The trustees invite suggestions for another dis- tinguished lecturer for next Fall another Robert Frost.

MUSEUM
DE CORDOVA AND DANA MUSEUM AND PARK
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
J. Quincy Adams, President George Wells, Vice President Paul W. Cook, Jr., Treasurer Elizabeth J. Snelling, Clerk A. Bradlee Emmons Stanley Heck William N. Swift
The various operations of the De Cordova Museum during the past year have met with success, including ex- hibitions, flower show, spring festival, and the several school programs, of which the summer session for children was received with particular enthusiasm.
As in past years, some classes have been severely limited and in certain fields completely curtailed by lack of space. The Museum has also to contend with a parking and traffic problem which on occasion has spilled beyond the confines of the Museum property to the great embarrass- ment of the personnel and Board of Directors, and, we are afraid, to the inconvenience of many citizens of the Town of Lincoln. We have set aside funds to mitigate this situation, and plan with the coming of spring to construct an auxiliary parking area in an undeveloped area in the northeast corner of the Park. In planning this area special attention will be given to attractiveness, appro- priate landscaping and harmony with the site.
Classes in ceramics, sculpture, pottery, weaving, etc., have had to be eliminated, and in classes given many applications have had to be turned down each term, all for lack of space within the Museum building.
The DeCordova Museum depends for its operation upon the income from the De Cordova Trusts, from the contribu- tions of Associates of the Museum, and from school tuition fees. Tuition fees barely cover the routine costs of school operation, and the remaining sources of income are in no way sufficient to supply the capital funds required for Museum expansion. Therefore, after a long period of research and discussion, the Directors concluded that if the De Cordova Museum is to properly fulfill the needs of the community in one of its prime functions, the school, and if the school is not to encroach upon exhibition space,
122
SCHOOLS, LIBRARY AND RECREATION
it must expand. It was consequently voted to embark upon a building fund drive in this, the eleventh year of Museum operation, with the hope that before another year we will be able to more adequately provide for the demands of the community and fulfill our obligations.
We, the Directors of the Museum, wish to extend our appreciation to the Town Fathers for giving recognition to the Museum on the cover of the Town Report. We wish to give special thanks to all those citizens of this Town whose hard work has made the building fund possible. We wish particularly to mention the police of the Town of Lincoln, who have so willingly and so efficiently stepped into the breach to unravel such traffic complications along Sandy Pond Road as have been caused by the Museum.
A. Bradlee Emmons, who has been a Director of the Museum since 1955 and Treasurer in 1958 and 1959, is re- tiring from the Board in March of this year. Mr. Emmons' counsel and support have always been highly valued by the Board, and on behalf of the townspeople and the Museum, we salute him now for his major contribution to the progress of this institution over the past six years.
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Frederick P. Walkey
The Museum's second decade of operation began with the announcement of a building fund drive -- a decision which the Directors arrived at after several years of deliberation. Many factors were considered in detail before this ambitious step was undertaken. There were two major issues which concerned the Board -- the first centered on the function of the Museum for the years to come, and the second had to do with the effect which this decision would have on the town. The latter issue will be discussed later in this report.
First I wish to set forth the aims of the Museum, for although they have been stated in previous reports, they bear repeating since they are the basis of the decision to undertake expansion.
"Small but choice" was a phrase one former Director used in describing his attitude toward the Museum; it
123
MUSEUM
governed his thinking on policy decisions. The same attitude is shared by virtually every member of the board; in deciding on the future course, the Board is guided by its intent to develop a physical plant and a program of reasonable size and top quality. The De Cordova Museum has never been a museum in the traditional sense of the word; rather, it has always tried to be an art center - a concept which implies equal emphasis on exhibitions and classes. For ten years we have had adequate galleries for exhibitions, but the classroom space has never been really adequate. The expansion program is addressed to adjusting the balance so we can truly be an art center. To justify the name, certain minimum facilities are re- quired: painting and drawing studios, sculpture and pottery studios, specialized rooms for jewelry and silversmithing, a graphic arts (print-making) room, and, hopefully, faci- lities for wood-working and weaving. The lively arts -- dance, drama, and music -- which have been a part of the program for ten years also require some special facilities.
When the new classroom wing is completed, we will have the minimum facilities to operate as an art center. In other words, the proposed expansion will enable us to serve a wider range of interests; it is not designed simply to enable us to do more of what we have been doing. The decision to expand serves two purposes: it fulfills our own long-held wish to become a complete art center, and it meets the ever-mounting demands for more classes. The expanded art center will be equipped to serve the region adequately for a number of years to come. When the popu- lation growth is such that the proposed facilities cannot cope with the demand, it is our currently held view that other centers should be created elsewhere to serve in- creased demands.
I have already mentioned the Directors' concern with the effect that Museum expansion might have on the town. It was decided that the benefits which all the citizens would derive from expanded facilities would far outweigh any inconvenience that might be imposed by a slight in- crease of automobile traffic.
To be certain that the Board's opinions on the traffic situation were valid, many of the Museum's neighbors on Sandy Pond Road who would be most affected were consulted and no serious objections were raised, especially when it was pointed out that the increased traffic would be spread
124
SCHOOLS, LIBRARY AND RECREATION
over the entire week and its effects would be negligible.
Thus the decision was made; it was then not difficult to draw the architectural plans and to outline a campaign to solicit funds.
The first solicitors' meeting gave the board an opportunity to test the reactions of a group of towns- people. The response was positive and enthusiastic. The results of the campaign to date are very encouraging and we are confident that our three year 2nd Decade Build- ing Fund campaign will be successful.
Again this year I wish to thank the Board of Directors and the members of the staff for their continued loyal support throughout 1960. As always, we are indebted to a large number of townspeople who participated during the past year in a variety of activities on the Museum's behalf. Some of these people are listed below, and on behalf of the Museum, I extend sincere thanks to them and to the members of their committees. And, finally, I wish to thank the local press for its fine coverage of Museum ex- hibits and events in 1960.

EXHIBITIONS AND EVENTS, 1960
Our "Second Decade Fund" brochure states that "the search for quality and diversity will continue to deter- mine the selection of Museum exhibitions covering the art spectrum - crafts, photography, architecture, painting, prints and sculpture."
Diversity characterized the 1960 exhibition schedule - included were British watercolors, arts from Germany, New England crafts, distinguished French and American artists in the McGinnis Collection, and five centuries of Near Eastern Miniatures. The Eastern Miniatures exhibit was particularly significant because it contained a large num- ber of Indian paintings representing one of the world's finest and most comprehensive collections. Throughout 1960 established artists and new talents were presented, continuing the Museum's ten-year policy of encouraging the artists of our time.
