At Weymouth Heights the book circulation has increased 18% in 1938. At Nash's Corner, open for one day a week, 1,727 books have been borrowed since the station started on July 5th. At Lovell Corner, where the station was only opened the middle of October, there has been a circulation of 1,476. In both cases the service has far exceeded that of the basket de- livery of books and it is rapidly growing.


Today the library is reaching almost all parts of the town. It is serving Weymouth through


Service For All


The Children's Room


The Main Library The Children's Room Two Branches Three Deposit Stations One Delivery Station Twelve Schools


1938 marks the tenth anniversary of the opening of the Children's Room. The boys and girls who thronged to that opening to listen to our first story hour, are young men and women today. Today the room is central in the life of the library. How far its influence may spread, we cannot know. We do know that the sunny room, with its book lined walls, its low tables and chairs, its lovely pictures and ever changing exhibits, belongs to the children. They have made it their own. They have read its books, 26,908 of them in the past year. They have gathered for story hours, they have traveled to far lands and followed gypsy trails, all within its walls and through the pages of its books.

Work With Schools


And the Children's Room has reached out to the schools. Books have been loaned to the High School and class room deposits have been placed in eleven elementary schools, including the two parochial schools. 2,105 books have been borrowed 8,931 times through these school stations. The teachers have wel- comed these books and used them with the children, and the library has awarded 538 state certificates and 49 honor certificates for library books read and re- ported on from the graded lists issued by our Massa- achusetts Library Division.


Visits have been made to class rooms by the. children's librarian, with book talks for the older grades and stories for the small children, as follows:

Exhibits


The library' is grateful for the loan of many in- teresting and valuable exhibits. These are of educa- tional value and stimulate wholesome interests in the boys and girls. The trustees acknowledge the fol- lowing loans with sincere appreciation.


Compositions and drawings of


book covers. Grade 7 Sacred Heart School.


Model airplanes, locomotive and ship. Kenneth Chubbuck, Grade 7, Hunt School.


Ivory Soap Sculptures. Proctor & Gamble Co. Campfire handicraft exhibit. Tayanita Camp Fire Girls.


Girl Scout handicraft exhibit. Girl Scouts Troop 2. Mural of Snow White and the seven dwarfs. Grade 8 Adams School.


Mural of Mother Goose. Milton Public Library.


Jewelry, leather work, weaving, cloisonne, and other crafts. Craft Center School.


A model log cabin. Grade 7 Nevin School.


The library is especially pleased to have so many exhibits that are made by the children themselves.


The trustees wish to express their appreciation for the help given through the W.P.A. in 1938 toward the up-keep of the library property. A painting pro- ject brightened and freshened, and changed the as- pect of the library building. It was greatly needed.


Mainte- nance


Other maintenance of the building includes a thorough overhauling of the heating system and a


189


connection of the water supply with the heater, so that hot water has been made available in the library. The floor of the main room has been re- finished, and a small amount of new shelving added in the Children's Room and at the East Weymouth Branch. Several leaks have had to be repaired in the plumbing, and the time is not distant when much of the old lead piping will have to be replaced with brass pipes.


Personnel


There has been one resignation from the staff of the library in 1938, that of Ruth B. Litchfield on October first. Miss Barbara Pearson and Miss Mar- jorie Bentley joined the staff as summer workers. Miss Pearson has started the four year course in Library Science at Simmons College and Miss Bentley is a student at Bridgewater Normal School.


The library cooperated with the High School again during the spring by taking one of the seniors in the business course for a week of practice work.


Professional Contacts


The librarian has given several book talks in various sections of the town during 1938, and both she and some of the assistants have attended and participated in professional library meetings. This year the librarian is president of the Old Colony Library Club, a group comprising the libraries in our own section of the state.


The Boston Herald Book Fair, which occurred in November during Good Book Week, offered unusual opportunities to hear and see outstanding authors and book exhibits. As far as possible the members of the staff took advantage of these opportunities.


In Memoriam


On July 16th Miss Martha J. Hawes, librarian of the East Weymouth Branch from its founding in 1924 to May 1936, died. This was the close of a lifetime of devoted and happy service in the town of Wey- mouth. Miss Hawes' kindly spirit was reflected in the atmosphere of the library, which was like a second home to her. During her active years she embodied the spirit of community service which is the ideal of the public library. In her honor the branch was closed during the hour of her funeral.


As the year drew to its close another former worker in the Tufts Library passed from our circle. Mrs. Edwin R. Senior helped at the library desk from 1924 to 1930, and those who worked with her enjoyed her companionship and appreciated her cooperation. It is with sorrow that we record her passing.


190


Gifts


The library has received a unique gift this past. year. An old Civil War flag, with the original thirteen stars, is the gift of Mrs. Harriet Baker Batchelder. Such a gift has historical significance for Weymouth and we wish that we had better facilities for dis- playing it.


The trustees are grateful for the many books- which have been given to the library, especially for the large collections given by Mr. Thomas Allen of North Weymouth, and from the estate of Miss Mar- tha J. Hawes. These and other gifts of books are- listed at the close of this report and are gratefully acknowledged.


A Forward Look


The Tufts Library stands at the sixth of its ten year mile posts. It has taken account of stock and it looks forward to the future. Today the whole- world stands at a crossroad. Grave problems con- front us upon all sides and affect the lives and for- tunes of all our citizens. We need the wisdom of past experience and the knowledge of present hap- penings. We need information to help us interpret. the issues of today, and our young people need knowl- edge to help them find their places in the economic life of tomorrow. The treasure house of books is a vast reservoir of such information. Its pages lie open. to the public through the services of the library. Public libraries have never been luxuries. They are more necessary to the economic well-being of the people today than ever before. It is the earnest purpose of the Trustees of the Tufts Library to make increasingly available to the people of Weymouth the recreational and educational facilities that lie within the world of books.


Respectfully submitted,


CLARANCE P. WHITTLE, President.


By order and in behalf of the Trustees.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE


To the Citizens of Weymouth:


The School Committee herewith submits its report for the year 1938, together with the report of the Superintendent of Schools, and reports of the several departments, all of which are made a part hereof.


A year ago we were compelled to record the death of Frederick W. Hilton, who had served as principal of the High School for twenty-six years; and at the same time we announced the appointment of Wallace L. Whittle as principal of the High School to fill the resulting vacancy. Mr. Whittle has now for more than a year filled such position, and the Committee wishes here to affirm that our confidence in him has been justified.


During the past year a new course was added to the Vocational School through the means provided by the George-Deen Fund, so-called. This course embraces various types of sheet metal work, together with the related subjects of drafting and blueprint reading: The printing de- partment also was enlarged at the same time. To fulfill the requirements for enlarging these courses, considerable new equipment was purchased.


It became necessary to make room for these enlarged courses; and for increased attendance at the High and Vocational Schools, new classrooms were needed. One new classroom was created in the basement of the Jefferson School; and a new manual training room, in the location of the old lunch room in the High School. Other emergency work consisted of repairing damage done by the hurricane, which was considerable.


School attendance seems to be increasing in a slight degree, but this increase is confirmed almost entirely to the High School. Attendance in the grades has been and is practically stationary. No substantial de- crease in school attendance is expected, and the probability is that there will be a slow but steady increase.


203


Last year's appropriation did not permit the regular increases in the salaries of those teachers who were under the established maximum rates on September 1, although the budget as presented in the annual report did provide for these increases. In fairness to the younger teachers we be- lieve that the appropriation to be made in March should make such al- lowance. The amount of money involved, as and from September next, will amount to $5,920.00. There are now one hundred and eighty-nine regularly employed teachers, of whom eighty-seven are below the maximum salary rate.


There is a present opportunity for enlarging the premises of the Edward B. Nevin School by securing nearly an acre and a half in the rear of the school yard bordering on Nevin Road. This land will be needed in years to come, and we recommend that it be now purchased.


Herewith follow our estimates of expenses for the coming year with comparative expenditures for last year:

4. Bicknell School


(a) Re-grading of the entire ball field together with fence and retaining wall to enclose same.


(b) Leveling of the depression in front of the building, with pro- vision for four tennis courts, to be asphalted in such a manner that the area may be used for a skating rink in winter. This work may also be done under the W.P.A. Plans have al- ready been prepared and presented for the approval of government officials at Washington.
