IN FIVE YEARS.
Some of the more important things that have happened in connection with the schools during the past five years are briefly mentioned Delow.
The average membership has increased from 552 for the school year ending in February, 1898, to 702 for the school year ending in June, 1903.
The number of regular teachers employed has increased from nineteen to twenty-three.
The number of college graduates employed as teachers has increased from one to four.
A supervisor of music has been engaged.
A course of study has been printed.
Four years of instruction are now offered in both high schools.
Students are passing from the schools of Chelmsford directly into institutions of collegiate rank.
The graduates of the Centre High School have organized an Alumni Association.
Two new school houses have been opened, one at North Chelmsford, and one at East Chelmsford.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
In thinking over the needs of the schools, I wish to make the following recommendations, hoping that they may receive favorable consideration.
1. The increase in the length of the school year to thirty- eight weeks, thus making it of the same length as that of other towns contiguous to Lowell.
2. The employment of a supervisor of drawing.
3. The relieving of the crowded condition at West Chelmsford.
4. Liberal appropriations for all school purposes.
CONCLUSION.
In concluding this, my fifth annual report, I desire to thank all with whom my official duties have brought me in contact for their continued courtesy.

ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
TRUSTEES OF THE ADAMS LIBRARY
OF THE
TOWN OF CHELMSFORD, MASS.
FOR THE
Year Ending February 29, 1904.
COURIER-CITIZEN PRINT. LOWELL : 1904.
Report of the Trustees of the Adams Library.
-
The Board of Trustees of the Adams Library herewith submits its annual report.
The Board of Trustees organized for the year by electing Mr. J. Adams Bartlett chairman, Mr. Albert H. D'avis secre- tary, and Rev. Wilson Waters treasurer. Mr. Chas. H. Green- leaf was appointed librarian.
The usual committees were appointed for the different needs of the Library.
By the death of Mrs. Harriet M. Bartlett early in the year, the Board lost one of its most efficient members, whose active interest in the Library had from the beginning been exerted for its welfare. To fill the vacancy thus occasioned, the Board of Trustees in joint session with the Board of Selectmen elected Miss Frances Clark.
The Library is indebted to Miss Mary T. Biden for a gift of twenty-five dollars for the purchase of books. The Town could scarcely be better served by its friends than by thus putting the best literature within the reach of its people.
Thanks are also extended to the various other donors.
A large and handsome mural tablet of bronze has been placed in the reading room by the Loyal Legion to the memory of Capt. Charles E. A. Bartlett, a prominent citizen of the Town, and a benefactor of the Library.
The Librarian reports to the Trustees that the circulation during the past year has been 11,393 volumes; the number of borrowers, 440.
The character of the circulation has been: fiction, 69 per cent .; general work, 13; travels and description, 3; literature, 1; biography, 3; natural science, 3; useful arts. 1; fine arts, 1; religion and philosophy, 1; sociology, 1; history, 4.
3
The Library has been open to the public 199 sessions, or 813 hours.
Number of volumes purchased and added to the Library, 236; number of volumes at present in the Library, 7,197; pur- chased to replace worn-out books, 7 volumes; withdrawn from circulation, 1 volume; destroyed on account of contagion, 2 volumes.
In the future a finding list will be printed with every pur- chase of books, and this can be inserted in the catalogues.
The Trustees again express their appreciation of the excellent work done by the Librarian, much of which is gratuitous.
In view of the approaching 250th anniversary of the incor- poration of the Town, they would call the attention of individuals who may have old documents, papers, or other relics of early times, to the cases in the Library for the care and preservation of such articles, which if left in the cupboards and attics of private houses are almost certain, in time, to be lost or destroyed.
The thanks of all concerned are due to Emerson and Co. of South Chelmsford, for taking charge of and distributing books in that part of the Town.
The Treasurer's report will be found herewith. No money has been drawn from the Joseph Warren fund, which amounted to $667.26, or from the Adams-Emerson fund, which amounted to $84.33, at the making up of the last quarter of the City Institution for Savings.

President, for one year . Luther H. Sargent
Vice-President, for one year Arthur H. Sheldon

The number of volumes added during the year:
By purchase from town appropriation 130

4
By donation from U. S. Government 15
By donation other sources. 2
Making a total addition of 151
Volumes withdrawn. 1
Net gain to the Library 150
Whole number now in Library 4425
7
Borrowers have been supplied with printed lists of volumes added during the year.
All the books are in excellent condition.
The shelves are becoming so crowded, and there is such need of additional floor space, that the Library is greatly hampered in its work.
During the Librarians absence, patrons have been served most acceptably by Mrs. Onie M. Dolloff and her assistant, Miss Gertrude Jones.
The Library is again indebted to Mr. Marcus H. Winship and his daughter for the care and distribution of the books sent to the West Village.
During the past year the Association has suffered a great loss in the decease of its President, Mr. Luther H. Sargent, who has been connected with the Library continuously since it was organized, January 19, 1872. Being a great lover of books, and also a persistent reader of them, his service for the Library in aiding in the selection and cataloguing of new books has been invaluable.
The financial transactions of the year are shown in the Treasurer's report which follows.
