Seats.
But one schoolhouse, Myricks, is fitted up with modern ad- justable seats that can be raised or lowered in accordance with the height of the individual pupil. When we compel the at- tendance of children at school for five and one-half hours each day, it is our duty to make conditions as good as possible so that such troubles as near sightedness, round shoulders, etc., can be avoided. I sincerely hope that at least a few of these seats can be purchased each year and in a few years the whole town will be supplied.
Tests of Sight and Hearing.
In accordance with the law an examination of each child has been made for defective sight and hearing, and a report sent to parents of cases needing medical attention. This has

resulted in several cases being referred to specialists, glasses furnished, and defects corrected as far as possible.

Library.
A closer relation should be established in some way be- tween the public schools and the library. It is of great importance that a taste for good reading be encouraged in young children, and the public school teachers can exercise a powerful influence for good in this way. There is a great amount of excellent historical fiction that could be made available for the pupils through the public library and to create and stimulate an interest in this direction would do much to make the subject of History interesting and attrac- tive. I intend to prepare in the near future a list of some of the best books showing the historical period treated, and I hope some arrangements may be made to make at least some of these books accessable to every pupil in the town.
I desire to repeat in this report the excellent list of books for teachers which is in the town library, at least one of which each teacher will be requested to read during the winter term:
Froebel's Educational Laws-Hughes. Educational Reformers-Quick. Leonard and Gertrude-Pestalozzi. Briefer Course in Psychology-James. Elements of Pedagogy-White.
Method of Recitation-McMurry. Psychology of Number-McClellan and Dewey.

Annual Report
Music and Drawing.
I notice from the last town report that the recommendation was made that a special teacher be employed for these branches. I desire to repeat the recommendation. Berkley is one of the very few towns not providing for special in- struction in these subjects and I sincerely hope that some way may be found before long so that our pupils may have these advantages. The value of training in these subjects is often underestimated. Besides acquiring a knowledge of music and drawing, it aids in the other work of the school and creates an interest and enthusiam on the part of both teacher and pupil. It has passed the experimental stage and is now universally acknowledged to be an essential part of elementary education. Let us not omit it any longer than is absolutely necessary.
Gifts to the Schools.
Acknowledgment is hereby made to Mr. Thomas P. Paull for his kind gifts of beautiful and appropriate pictures and books to the schools.
Teachers' Meetings.
The records show that teachers' meetings have been held once each term during the year with a district meeting in Rehoboth in February. The program of the district meeting will be found in this report. I wish that we might have more frequent meetings for a study of methods and a dis- cussion of their application but hesitate to take the time from regular school work. We are planning one teachers' meeting each term and arrangements are under way for a district meeting in Dighton in February with an exhibition of school work. We shall try to make this meeting interesting to the public as well as teachers and sincerely hope that all who can will attend.

For the financial part we would refer you to the Treas- urer's Report. There are 1660 volumes in the library besides . a number of vital records, reports, etc., received from the State.
We have added to the library by purchase 44 vols. also two years Harper's Magazines which were presented by Mr. A. E. Dean, and bound from the library fund, for which we owe him thanks, as they give us a large amount of very good reading.
The Librarian has paid for the " Christian Herald " from the fines collected and given it to some one each week.
About 20 vols. have been rebound. The Librarian has issued during the year 2680 vols. which is an increase over the previous year.
We would ask for an appropriation of $100, for the coming year.

Annual Report
Report of Selectmen.
To the Citizens of the Town of Berkley :
At our annual meeting the town voted to have our accounts audited for the last ten years. Agreeable to that vote, your board secured the services of Mr. Charles F. Kellogg of Boston, who is considered one of the best public accountants in the State. While he could not make a complete audit, owing to the fact that many of the old bills and vouchers had been destroyed, he examined our accounts as far as was neces- sary to satisfy us that the general results would not change. We are pleased to publish the auditor's report, it shows the duties of the treusurer to have been thoroughly and faithfully performed, and also that the town's auditors have done their work well. The following is an exact copy :
BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, Dec. 2, 1909.
To the Selectmen of the
Town of Berkley, Mass.
DEAR SIRS : -
Agreeable to the request of May 21, 1909, of your Chair- man, Mr. Charles H. Macomber, that it was the vote of the Town of Berkley, Massachusetts, that I audit the Treasurer's transactions from January 1st, 1898, up to date, I have made an examination of all of the Town Receipts and Payments with the State of Massachusetts from 1898 to 1909, by mak- ing a transcript of the Town Accounts from the Treasurer's Office at the State House, Boston, and comparing them with your books, representing the Town Treasurer's record, and find they agree in every detail.
Noah H. Strange was both Treasurer and Collector in 1898 and down to 1907.
8
Annual Report
Have verified many of the Commitments of Taxes of the Collector with the Cash Account of the Treasurer, particu- larly that of 1902, to determine if the vote of the Town appro- priating one hundred dollars for Improvement of Cemetery had been carried out. It appeared on the bank account of the Cemetery that they had received the amount, but the cash book of the Town Treasurer did not show that the sum had been charged and paid the Cemetery Trustees.
By an examination of the Commitment of the Tax of 1902 the amount to be collected appears as
$5553 64
The Treasurer charges himself
Received from Feb. 15 to Dec. 15, 1902 5020 67 66 " Jan. 1, 1904 to Dec. 31, '04 432 97 $5453 64 leaving the sum of $100.00 retained by him to be and was paid to the Trustees of Cemetery for improvement.

I would suggest that a statement be made on the books of the town in 1902 referring to my examination, showing that this amount should have appeared by the full tax being en- tered and the payment for the improvement of cemetery, $100.00, being entered as a payment,so that Noah H. Strange as Treasurer have his Collector account for 1902 agree with the commitment.
My examination went no farther than this comparison with the State of Massachusetts Treasurer and this Cemetery ap- propriation, except to verify the form of tax entries.

Annual Report
I would suggest that at the end of each year the total pay- ment for the various departments, now made in pencil, be put in ink and ruled, and then the summary of receipts and pay- ments be entered on the cash book in the same concise manner as it appears in the town reports.
It would properly be the duty of the Auditor to have the Treasurer do it under his direction.
As far as my examination went, it would appear that the books were correctly represented in the annual reports.
Herewith I hand you a transcript of transaction with the State.
Respectfully submitted, CHARLES F. KELLOGG,
Public Accountant.
We also have a transcript, covering several pages, showing all our transactions with the State during the last ten years.
Berkley Bridge has got to be repaired this spring ; it needs painting, the road-bed replanked, and some new piles driven. We would recommend an appropriation of $500.00 to cover our portion of the expense.
By the Treasurer's report the cash on hand is a little more than last year, but the amount of uncollected taxes is about $560.00 less.
There have been only three cases of contagious disease reported to the board of health during the year.
