each district, at the beginning of the current year a sub- committee was appointed to take charge of all the houses ; and the result has been that many things which, under the old system, were overlooked, have received attention and correction.
ADDITIONAL SCHOOL ACCOMMODATIONS.
The crowded condition of the primary school on Franklin street compelled the Committee to procure another apart- ment, and establish during the summer months a branch school, which was put under the charge of Miss M. Clara Sweetser, and afterward of Miss M. A. Wiley. With the return of cold weather the number of scholars decreased, and the two schools were reunited, but being very large two teachers were still employed. It has now been several years since this school began to be overrun with «pupils, and the evil has continued without abatement. Various methods of relief have presented themselves to the Committee. There is a question of locality connected with the matter. Many of the pupils come from that portion of the town lying west of the Boston & Maine Railroad, and the inquiry has been raised whether the interests of the people living there do not require a school building in their own neighborhood.
The reasons in favor of the plan are :
1. The crowded condition of the schools on Franklin street, and the primary schools in the Centre and the West Ward, making it necessary that additional accommodations should be provided somewhere.
2. The steadily increasing population of that portion of the town.
3. The distance of those families from the public school houses.
4. The danger to which the children are exposed in having to cross three railroad tracks, over which there are not less than fifty trains daily -a danger so great as to lead some families to keep their children at home.
The chief objection to the plan, and the only one that has suggested itself to the Committee, exists in the burden of expense it would impose.
89
With the desire of ascertaining all the facts in the case, a sub-committee was appointed last year to examine the whole subject, and report. That service was performed ; and the committee would then have presented the report to the town, but for their disinclination to advise any farther expenditure of money for school accommodations. The subject, however, has again forced itself upon us, and another sub-committee has been instructed to re-examine it, and their report has been made. The committee desire to refer the whole matter to the town, and having done this their own responsibility will be discharged.
The facts obtained by both the committees above named are condensed, and stated below in brief form :
The whole number of dwelling houses included in the following limits-to wit. : Boston & Maine Railroad on the east, Broadway on the south, Town line on the west, and West Chestnut street on the north, is one hundred and five. These houses average 'two tenements in each, capable of holding, on an average, four people each - eight hundred and forty inhabitants,-representing one hundred and fifty scholars, one-fifth of whom are already provided for in the High and Grammar schools, leaving one hundred and twenty scholars. By actual count, the number of children between four and twelve in the section described is eighty-five.
The discrepancy in the two results is owing, doubtless, to the fact that some dwellings are vacant, as well as to the fact that all computations from the number of dwellings must be inexact. Yet in the prosperity all are looking for, the dwellings will doubtless be filled. Putting the number, however, at the lowest figure, it will not fall below seventy- five, and that seems quite too large a number to crowd into the different schools, or to send across railroad tracks. The attention of the town is invited to the subject.
EXPENSES.
Mindful of the expressed wish of the town, and fully perceiving its wisdom, it has been the aim of the Committee during the past year to keep expenditures at as low a point as was consistent with efficiency in the schools. In most respects we have been successful.
90
Owing to circumstances over which we had no control, and chiefly the sickness of Mrs. Grover, we were not able to manage the matter of the musical exhibition in such a way as to pay as much as we hoped towards the expense of the new singing books introduced into the schools.
On the whole, however, it was deemed no loss that some of the books should be made the property of the schools ; and the benefit of them to the pupils has, probably; com- pensated for their cost to the town, or certainly will do so.
In one other respect the plans of retrenchment laid last year were not fully met. It was proposed to the Committee, before the last annual meeting, that the school year should be thirty-eight, instead of forty weeks in length. They assented to the proposal; but after thoroughly considering all the reasons for and against the plan, its wisdom secmed to be doubtful, and they returned to the former arrangement. It has been found possible, however, to dismiss besides the Music teacher, two assistant teachers, and one teacher in the Training School, and, without diminishing salaries, to bring expenses within the limits prescribed.
The Committee desire to call the attention of the town to the fact that the schools with two or three exceptions are large ; and that only teachers that are above the average in point of ability can be safely intrusted with them. A few hundred dollars saved by such reduced appropriations as would result in the loss of four or five of our best teachers would be money thrown away. A little misplaced economy of this sort would turn the pride we may now justly feel in our schools into shame ..
Inasmuch as a Committee has been appointed by the town in part to determine what amount of money will be needed for the schools the coming year, we forbear to make any recommendations.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
OF THE
BEEBE TOWN LIBRARY.
Twenty years ago a number of gentlemen of liberal culture, and actuated by true public spirit, caused to be inserted in the town warrant an article for an appropriation for the establishment and maintenance of a Public Library in South Reading, and at the annual meeting advocated the measure with strong argument and convincing eloquence ; and five hundred dollars were granted by the Town for the beneficent purpose. About the same time the resources of the new Library were largely increased by generous donations of books and money from individuals and organizations.
Our argosy thus fairly launched, entered at once upon a voyage of usefulness and glory, and richly freighted with the additions of successive years, not only flaunted its flag of Freedom and Intelligence on the breezes of general pros- perity, but through billows of bankruptcy, the squalls of panics, and the unwholesome calms of business stagnation, its worth amid prevailing fear and disaster becoming even more conspicuous, with ensign " still full high advanced," has unloaded its precious stores of knowledge and enter- tainment to a hungry and appreciative population.
1
May our good Ship of Books, wafted by soft zephyrs, or blown by prosperous gales, still sail on and on through seas of popular favor, until in the world's Millenium it shall furl its sails by an Elysian shore, "whose waters are amber and whose sands are gold."
Twenty years is not a long period of time, but it has proved long enough to bring a generation of shouting school- boys forward into the front ranks of "men the workers,"- long enough to increase the number of books in our Library six-fold,-long enough to cover from sight, though not from memory, the form of many a good and trusted friend of the Beebe Town Library. The survivors of that carlier company,
94
who in eighteen hundred and fifty-six stood sponsors for the infant institution, with no lack of ready recruits from another generation, must close up the ranks and occupy, though they may not fill, the vacant places, until the summons comes to follow.
No events of special significance affecting the Public Library, have occurred during the past year, but it has continued to be a centre of good influences, radiating to every part of the town.
The sage remark of old Polonius, "Neither a borrower nor a lender be," is not highly esteemed among the friends and patrons of the Library. We prefer the remark of Burke, "He that borrows the aid of an equal understanding, doubles his own ; he that uses that of a superior, elevates his own to the stature of that he contemplates."
To borrow still further, "Books are the true levellers. They give to all who will faithfully use them the society, the spiritual presence, of the best and greatest of our race. No matter how poor I am, no matter though the prosperous of my own time will not enter my obscure dwelling, if the Sacred Writers will enter and take up their abode under my roof, if Milton will cross my threshold to sing to me of Para- dise, and Shakespeare to open to me the worlds of imagina- tion, and the workings of the human heart, and Franklin to enrich me with his practical wisdom, I shall not pine for want of intellectual companionship, and I may become a cultivated man, though excluded from what is called the best society in the place where I live."
We quote once more, and this time it shall be from the English Fox: "Nothing is more delightful than to lie under a trec, in the summer, with a book, except to lie under a tree, in the summer, without a book."
A brilliant writer has lately printed a volume and devoted one chapter to the "Abuse of Reading," wherein is much wisdom, and given up another chapter to abusing Town Libraries, intimating that their shelves contain a small pro- portion of valuable and useful books, and that the youth of towns, to a large extent, weaken and debase their minds by exclusive reading of such books as "Mrs. Fanny Firefly's
95
1 highly seasoned love stories for girls, and Mr. Samuel Sensa- tion's boy-novels, and spiced preparations of boned history, which are got up, like the port-wine drops of the confec- tioners, to tempt and to sell."
In behalf of our Library, and in behalf of our people, we resent and repel an insinuation so unfounded. While freely admitting the great popularity of the story-tellers, and regretting that our taste is not more cultivated and refined, we are sure our purchasers and borrowers have exercised a much better and wiser discrimination than the author above quoted would have his readers believe.
The Trustees recommend that two hundred dollars, in addi- tion to the dog-taxes, be appropriated for the maintenance of the Library the ensuing year.
"And here, to-day, the dead look down, The kings of mind again we crown ; We hear the sage's word : we trace The foot-prints of our human race.
Here Greek and Roman find themselves
Alive along these crowded shelves ;
And Shakespeare treads again his stage,
And Chaucer paints anew his age.
As if some Pantheon's marbles broke
Their stony trance, and lived and spoke,
Life thrills around the alcoved hall, The lords of thought await our call."
