REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
OF
THE BEEBE TOWN LIBRARY.
THE cycle of the year brings us to another of those noting points of our progress, our condition and our needs, at which we may both pleasantly and profitably consider what has been done and what there still exists for us to accomplish in the special trust confided to us.
The nature of the trust itself, the altogether pleasant asso- ciations with which it is rife, and the dignity of the work of which it is a most noble and efficient auxiliary-the elevation of character and the increase of usefulness,-all contribute to render the reflection alike gratifying and encouraging.
The First Napoleon, bent on a concentrate dynasty, once bade his Marshals "Beware ! when bayonets shall learn to think !" His ambition could find no room for the com- mon mind to develop thought and the power which thought alone can bring. To him, for the common people to hold the sovereignty of thought betokened the growth of an intelli- gence fatal to the despotism it was his glory to wield. " The stone which he rejected has become the head of the corner" in the Republic of which we are part, and it is to the largeness of thought, to its universal extension and the observance of its teachings that we confidently look for our rise, progress and perpetuity.
In a nation whose every citizen is a sovereign, where pow- er resides with each one, where the united intelligence of the people must determine the laws, the relations, the policy and the very composition of the State, it is evident that every-
96
thing depends upon the character and extent of the general intelligence.
Just as the human body and its forces are built up of, and and become like, the food upon which they depend, so the mind feeds upon, builds itself out of, and becomes the type of, what it absorbs. The higher the character of its pabu- lum, the more ample its supply, and the easier its assimila- tion, the better, richer and wider will be the cast of mind and its reach.
Books are most largely our mental purveyors. Good books, -those best embodiments of the best thoughts of men-so bring to us the delights of high companionship, over-riding time, distance and social barriers to pour their wealth into our laps, that they are fast moulding into broader lines the lives and aspirations of men and communities.
To read is to think ; to think is to purpose, and purposes are the embryos of acts.
The rule of Socrates most aptly applies to books. "You say," said he, " the thing is good. Good for what ?" It is impossible in this day not to recognize the fact that much reading matter often condemned, and not of the highest or even perhaps of the medium class, actually performs a valua- ble service in the stimulus alone, that it gives for reading, so opening the road to higher and better levels of thought. No man ever began at the top of the ladder, and the heights of knowledge, noble thinking and nobler living are only scal- ed step by step, and slowly.
It is said that Sir Isaac Newton, finding the son of his gar- dener familiar with his "Principia," demanded to know how he had reached so advanced knowledge, to which the youth admirably responded, "I have always believed one may learn anything who has once mastered the twenty-six letters of the alphabet."
If a book is not actually pernicious, it has a power for good. Good for what? To open the outer door to the whole range of the galleries of thought of all men, of all times, in all lands, and there is an approbation that belongs to the lower forms of literary effort, so long as they avoid
·
97
absolute evil, as the lower rounds of the ladder leading to better things,-the twenty-six letters of the alphabet of thought which daily unfolds brighter and better pages.
A few facts furnished by public reports and by the Libra- rian, are worthy the thoughtful attention of all.
From 70 to 80 per cent. of the books taken from public libraries are works of fiction.
The foreign population, as a rule, take a better class of books than others.
The demand for scientific books is on the increase, and the books purchased the last year have been largely of the better order, scientific and religious works, biography and travels.
We believe that these facts indicate much.
First. That the imaginative, that most cheering and helpful of mental phases, is doing its normal work of relieving the dull and often depressing monotony of "the daily round, the common task," and it becomes only desirable to direct it along such lines as blend it with truth :- the scientific, as in the fascinating works of Jules Verne ; the historical, as in the novels of Miss Muhlback ; the geographical or zoological, as in those of Maryatt, Fennimore Cooper, Goulding, or Mayne Reid.
Second. It would seem to be indicated, by the fact that a better class of books is taken by the foreign population than by others, that the Public Library is accomplishing its intend- ed work. That those to whom the need and the advantage are greatest, most fully appreciate its opportunities, and profit thereby. The fact is further suggestive and deserves thought.
Third. The larger demand for scientific and kindred books may be held to indicate an increased demand of the day for more thorough foundation knowledge, and a recognition that the lines of life and thought, with the greater age of the country, are being more sharply drawn, and run more in special grooves. The Trustees have endeavored to keep fully abreast of this demand, and earnestly desire to stimu- late and encourage it by all aids in their power.
It is believed that a most happy and useful adjunct of the
7
98
Library would be the furnishing and opening of Memorial Hall as a Reading Room. That there is need of such an institution for a large class in all communities, perhaps specially in ours, there can be little doubt. Such a reading- room, well warmed and lighted, supplied with the current periodicals and newspapers, home and foreign, would unfail- ingly be a nursery of that broader intelligence which marks the thinker and the helpful citizen. A more philanthropic gift than the means to this end, it would hardly be possible for any friend or friends of the town to bestow.
The suggestions of the year's experiences are few. We invoke a thoughtfulness of parents and guardians for the careful use of books in their households, not less from con- siderations of proper regard for public property, in itself so worthy of good treatment, than from the fact that not a few of the volumes are either expensive or rare, and become in- creasingly so as they pass out of print.
The inculcation of quiet and courteous behavior on the part of juvenile frequenters of the library, will recommend itself to those who have influence in this direction. The delightful quiet, order and precision which greet one on entering the public libraries of our great cities, is so fittingly associated with the presence of so much of the best thought of the greatest minds, that we naturally desire it for the realm of books, wherever found.
Upon one point the Trustees desire to earnestly and united- ly bespeak the consideration of the town at its approaching annual meeting, viz. : the need of a new catalogue.
Like a great compendium of facts without an index, like a treasure-vault without a key, like a well without a bucket to draw with, is a library without an available record of its contents. Its cost need not be large, it being found that an appropriation of three hundred dollars will cover it, and its necessity is so obvious that it cannot be counted wise economy to longer defer its publication.
To a larger and better life, to the fields of knowledge untrodden by mortal feet, to the wisdom of other realms and the presence of the great Author, one from our number has
99
gone out in the year that draws to a close. Inseparably associated in our thought with him whose hand reared the walls of our literary storehouse, and stamped his name and fame on our town, herself respected and esteemed by all, her departure could not fail to be of moment, her loss of general concern.
Mrs. Eliza A. Wakefield, by whose aid and consent our chief public edifice, the gift of her late husband, became the property of the town, will long have place in the memory of her associates and towns-people, and the noble gift in which she so freely joined, will keep alive in other years the recol- lection of the life gone from us.
The Trustees recommend for the coming year an appropri- ation of two hundred dollars in addition to the proceeds of the Dog Tax for the Library, and an appropriation of three hundred dollars for the publication of a new catalogue.
