Not the effeminacy of a brain struggling under a load of learning, not the machine which runs in grooves or beaten
176
tracks impelled by an outward motive power, but the mind which contains within itself the sources of power and the faculty of developing it and making it effective in the solution of such questions as it meets is the end for which we plead in the management of our schools.
RECOMMENDATION.
We have made as careful estimate as we could to cover the expenses of another year, and for the general school fund we recommend the same sum as last year, sixteen thousand two hundred dollars; for school contingent fund the sum of fifteen hundred dollars; for concreting the yards and walks about the school-houses the sum of five hundred dollars ; and for the purchase and distribution of books and supplies the sum of twelve hundred dollars.
If the needs of the North Ward should compel the organi- zation of another school, then a special appropriation to cover the expense of same, and the repairing and furnishing of a school-room will be necessary.
COMMITTEE.
The terms of Mr. Upton, Mr. Tyler and Dr. Colby expire with this year, and the town will be called upon to elect two members to serve on this Board three years, and one member one year.
The foregoing, together with the usual statistics hereto appended, we respectfully submit as our annual report.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES.
In presenting the 29th annual report of the Beebe Town Library, and its new annex, the Reading Room, we find an unalloyed pleasure in assuring our citizens that they have no reason to withdraw their favor from these cherished institu- tions ; and the close of the year brings to the Trustees the grateful sense that in their supervision of our Library and Reading Room they are accomplishing some beneficial ser- vice in behalf of our good old town, in the work of general education and the cultivation of the nobler part, and that the Library still continues, deservedly, to retain its hold upon the confidence and support of our citizens, who will, doubtless, as the years come, make greater efforts still to enlarge its means of usefulness.
The Library was never working with greater facility. Our Librarian, whose acquaintance with its contents goes back many years, becomes more valuable in her resources as the years roll on, and embodies in herself one of the most ser- viccable catalogues of the treasures upon our shelves, and in this she is well supported by her lady assistants. By a refer- ence to her report (annexed), the minute details of interest will be found.
The Library now contains 8,089 books, being 261 in excess of last year. .
182
The financial statement of the Treasurer on another page will show receipts and expenditure for the year, and that the financial condition is good.
For the support of the Library for the ensuing year, the Trustees ask an appropriation of $500, and the amount of the dog tax.
PUBLIC READING ROOM.
The Reading Room has been most thoroughly appreciated and its opportunities improved by a very large number of visitors during the year. The convenient situation of the room, its ample accommodations, and the quiet and studious air pervading it, have proved powerful attractions to all who desired to spend a quiet hour in reading, or in looking over the varied latest periodical and pictorial literature of the day, a full list of which appears upon another page.
Its best eulogy is the fact that from twelve to fourteen hundred visits monthly are made by our citizens to this quiet home of literature, and is the greatest tribute to its intrinsic worth.
Its patrons have been a fair average as to age, sex and condition, with a preponderance towards the youth of both sexes. Its success has been very measurably assisted by the efforts of the faithful and worthy Janitor, Mr. Henry C. Hall. A portion of last year's literature was by the Trustees selected from the tables of the Reading Room, and has been bound, resulting in thirty-five volumes, which are now upon the Library shelves for general distribution. In addition, certain kinds too much defaced, or otherwise unfit for bind- ing or permanent keeping, and also of last year's issue, were by vote of the Trustees sent to the Soldiers' Home in Chelsea. The great success of the Reading Room for the year last past appeals to our citizens for its continued exist- ence, and for this purpose the Trustees would ask an appropriation of $325.
183
IN MEMORIAM.
Since the date of our last report, our ranks have been broken by the death of Lucius Beebe, who, at the time of his decease and for many years prior thereto, was the honored and respected Chairman of this Board. The sudden demise of such an honored associate seems to emphasize the saying, "Death loves a shining mark." Through the thoughtful liberality of his family, a crayon portrait of the late Lucius Beebe now adorns the walls of the Library room. This life-like portrait brings vividly before us the genial face and manly form of our late associate, and we can- not refrain from saying, "He, being dead, yet speakcth."
The Library has lost another substantial friend by the death of Dr. Francis P. Hurd. Although his innate modesty prevented him from taking an active part in town affairs, he has expressed in a tangible form his interest in the town by a liberal bequest in his will for the benefit of the Library. For this munificent gift we are sure that the town and the patrons of the Library will ever hold him and his name in grateful remembrance.
THE LIBRARY, AN EDUCATOR.
We cannot refrain at this time from calling the attention of our community to the recognition of the fact that a free public Library and a free public Reading Room are essential parts of the system of free public education, and that these two stand in our midst for the wholesome truth- that education is never finished, and should not stop when one stops going to school.
Ere they came at the command of their Creator, the worlds that gem space must have existed within the thought of the Infinite, cach atom bearing the impress of His original designs. In the realm of Force, then, Thought stands highest. Education organizes and Labor embodies it. Man,
184
therefore, in humble imitation, to be a success, must be these two,-a thinker and a worker. All the worthy successes of life are organized, and the result of an intelligent plan, with a thinker and worker behind the plan. Education is a necessity of life, and every well-organized life will find time for it.
The subject has national importance, for Education is the cheapest defence of the. nation. It has individual import- ance, also, for it promotes industry and lessens idleness ; it awakens and intensifies desires, and thus incites man to effort to secure the means of gratification; it touches both factors in the great law for the creation of wealth, for ignorance dwells in a hovel, which intelligence exchanges for the cottage and the palace.
School life teaches us how to originate and express thought. Public Libraries stand for education after school life ends, and we enter the larger school of life.
Education comes through reading and observation to all mankind ; to the dull chiefly by what they see ; to the bright both by what they see and by what book's help them to see.
There are hundreds of bright boys and girls in this town who are being educated by both methods to become the teachers and leaders of the next generation, and the question comes up in countless homes, both where books are and are not plenty, " What shall we read ?" and how shall the cager, mental hunger be gratified? The boys and girls who have gone along far enough to leave the story for the history, or to make the book of thought the rival of the history, have began to touch bottom, and sooner or later may be expected to walk alone.
There is a period of vegetation in young people's reading when anything will do, but when the selective instinct comes, and one book is chosen in preference to another because it feeds one's restless desire to know some one thing especially well, the work of self-education has then really began. So much,
185
therefore, depends upon reading, so much of the best educa- tion we can get depends upon reading the book that sets the mind on fire, as it were, that too much care cannot be exercised in the choice of books, and the leisure hours of young people cannot be too carefully sequestered for that purpose.
From the ages of 12 to that of 18 years it may be said that boys and girls are miniature men and women. They are going through the motions of thought like their elders, and querying in their young minds what they are to do and to be ; and this thing tells along the line of the future. Now, there is no royal way of being famous (at least we know it not ), and every one who obtains influence over others is lifted into position chiefly by working hard to obtain knowledge, and to see into things in the growing years before active life in the world at large commences ; then is when close companionship with your town Library and a wise selection of its books tell.
It is the silent intercourse with books in our leisure hours, an intercourse in which the invisible mind of another enters into the closest companionship with our own, that seed is sown, which germinates into principles and makes the very bone and sinew of conduct. No one can afford to give the go-by to the long winter evenings in the careful use of his time in reading the best books, and in thinking over what he reads.
It is harder and harder each year, with the increase of social and industrial activity, to make one's way to first-class positions, or to even hold them after obtaining them, with an casy mastery, and in most cases it will be the man who as boy got the right set of mind by faithful reading or study who wins in the race.
24
186
Books are numerous ; social engagements in the town many ; concerts, parties, balls, the amenities of life, are always in order, so that there are ample opportunities for those who would otherwise grow strong and wise by reading the best books, to miss the chance.
The young people who work in our manufacturing estab- lishments, and the clerks in our stores, are by necessity of occupation, limited in their opportunities. If they ever hope to be more than servants to others, they must learn the les- sons of personal nobleness that come through the reading of the best books.
We realize that it is not easy to keep the book when one is weary, not easy to stay in when the street is inviting, not easy to conquer our own stubborn will ; but the example of Amos Lawrence, who educated himself by the use of his evenings for wisely-chosen reading to be one of the first citizens of this Commonwealth, is a beacon light which may well steady any young man in his purpose of self-culture. Try one hour's study and reading per day, winter and sum- mer, and mark the result in one year's time.
As the chosen servants of the town to look after the in- terest of one great Educational centre, perhaps our duty as Trustees ends not with the supervision of the Library books and their appurtenances, and we may be pardoned if we do urge strongly upon parents and teachers to hold out every inducement to the young to make a friend both of Library and Librarian after school life ends, so that education may go on as long as time can be found. What is life ? A wondrous school, where Nature, through her organic law and educational processes, transforms the transmitted in- stincts of the lower creations into the God-like attributes of the perfected human, reaching in one everlasting chain that
· 187
binds created things to the Mighty Heart of all. By our firesides, by precept and example, by wisely-chosen books, let us endeavor to instil into the growing mind of youth, those standard-bearers of the future, the desire to be them- selves all that God has made them capable of becoming.
In behalf of the Trustees,
OTIS V. WATERMAN,
Secretary.
