One Reader's Card
A change from two readers cards to one has met with general approval. When two books only were issued to a reader two cards were furnished him, one for fiction, the other for non-fiction, so that if the cards were left undisturbed they came back to the library in the proper volumes. When, however, borrowers' privileges were increased to include any reas- onable number of books, the simple, " card to each volume," ceased to be practicable and it was deemed best, after careful consideration and extended consultation with readers, to use but one card, distinguishing the three broad classes of loans from one another by varying on the card the positions of the dates charging the three classes. So that now the date charging a volume of fiction is stamped in the most natural place, the upper left part of the card; the date for non-fiction is turned upside down ; and that for current periodicals is placed in the lower right hand corner, successive charges working upward.
The number of 3volumes issued was 46,614 making the largest circu- lation for nine years excepting 1903. The largest day was Jan. 30, 252 volumes; the smallest July 4th, 51. The issues on Thanksgiving and Christmas were 123 and 85 respectively, and on Sundays exceeded as a rule all days but Saturdays and Mondays. The average daily circulation was 127 ; and 4per capita 12.4.
Small collections on such subjects as " Old days in the colonies," " Patriotism and civic ideals" and " Books for home lovers" have been exhibited on the ends of the loan desk. They have taken the place in a smaller way of the broader collections in the rotation case for which other demands were imperative.
Shelf Numbers
Experiments covering more than a year have shown the superiority of lettering applied directly to the binding. On light bindings Higgins' black waterproof ink is used, and David's white letterine on dark. When thoroughly dried, the lettering is protected by a thin coat of white shellac, with which bindings in any way delicate are entirely coated. All recent accessions and several thousand older books have been thus treated to our complete satisfaction.
Publications
Three full bulletins including all additions have been issued, and three small select reading-lists on Cookery, The flower garden, and Birds ; and a set of So subjects for summer reading.
Book and Picture Exhibits
Ten of the Library art club exhibits have pictured Japan, the Grand Canyon of Arizona, French art, the Evangeline country, Paris, Egypt, Orvieto, and Venice.

During the two weeks preceding Christmas some 80 new books suit- able for gifts were on exhibition.
A. L. A. Catalog
During the year the Library of Congress in Washington has printed a catalog of Sooo volumes selected by members of the American Library Association as those which form the best rounded small library. Seven- tenths of these books The Millicent Library owns and the purchase of the remainder it will be glad to consider. The selection is a very careful one and the character of a majority of the books is made clear by descrip- tive and critical notes. These features combined make the A. L. A. Catalog as it is called, a most trustworthy guide to one's reading, and numerous copies of the complete volume of 900 pages have been put in circulation. It is hoped that the section of literature including 1,200 volumes of fiction may shortly be distributed free to readers as annotated catalogs of books always to be had in the library.
Card Catalog
The card catalog is and can be the only complete and up-to-date catalog and must be consulted by anyone wishing to know exactly what the library contains. Most of the cards now being added are clearly and beautifully printed in Washington and bought from the Library of Con- gress for less than they can be typewritten, 1,712 having been purchased for $15.27. Since the fall of 1901 when this library was the 14th to sub- scribe for these cards, 425 other libraries have added their names to the list, and all are finding their patrons much pleased with their neat appear- ance and accuracy. 5,820 Cleveland-Pittsburgh cards analyzing selected books for young people have been received to complete the set, which is a most valuable key to juvenile literature.
Changes in Staff
On Jan. 4, 1905, Miss Frances H. Fuller resigned the position of children's librarian which for two years she had occupied with marked success, to accept a similar office in The City Library of Springfield, Mass. Miss Fuller came to Fairhaven to give particular attention to work with the young people and to build up the apparatus of catalogs and the collection of books for its effective continuance; for which her earnestness, broad experience and ready sympathy admirably fitted her.
And on February 21, Miss Eda M. Perry of the Pratt Institute Free Library, Brooklyn, took up this work. Miss Perry whose home is in the nearby town of Monument Beach, completed partial courses in the Bridge- water normal school, taught for several years, graduated from the Pratt Institute library school, and for two years past has been on the staff of the free public library connected with the institution.
7
In general, the work of the library has gone on progressively. It is filling the place it should better than a year ago. Its staff has steadily in- creased in efficiency, and its collections of books in value and range, both for general and reference use ; many questions can be answered now, and many subjects set forth which a year ago were unprovided for. The card- holders are more numerous, and while the circulation has fallen off, the fact that the number of volumes in circulation at any one moment and the average number of days a volume is held have both increased, show that actually more hours are spent in reading the library's books and probably more thought given to what is read. In short, the community's reading seems to be in a healthier condition.
To the Board I have to express my sincere appreciation of their con- tinued courtesy and support, and to the staff hearty thanks for their coop- eration and assistance.
Respectfully submitted,
DREW B. HALL,
Librarian.

NEW OXFORD SCHOOL
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of Fairhaven :
Emerson has said, "I praise New England; because it is the country in the world where is the freest expendi- ture for education. The poor man, whom the law does not allow to take an ear of corn when starving, nor a pair of shoes for his freezing feet, is allowed to put his hand into the pocket of the rich, and say, you shall educate me, not as you will but as I will; not alone in the elements, but by further provision, in the languages, in science, in the use- ful and in elegant arts. The child shall be taken up by the state, and taught, at the public cost, the rudiments of knowledge, and at last, the ripest results of art and science." This terse and complete statement by one of New England's greatest thinkers was made many years ago, since then Massachusetts' laws have made school attendance compul- sory. These sentiments then expressed have become an article of faith on the part of the people all through the more intelligent part of our nation.
Again the same author says : "We are apt to teach boys to be such men as we are. We do not teach them to aspire to be all they can. We do not give them training as if we believed in their noble nature. We scarce educate their bodies, we do not train the eye and the hand. We exercise their understandings to the apprehension and com- parison of some facts, to a skill in numbers, in words; we aim to make accountants, attorneys, engineers ; but not to make able, earnest, great-hearted men. The great object of education should be commensurate with the object of life. It should be a moral one ; to teach self-trust ; to inspire the
4
youthful man with an interest in himself; with a curiosity touching his own nature ; to acquaint him with the resources of his mind, and to teach him that there is all his strength, and to inflame him with a piety towards the Grand Mind in which he lives."
We believe that all those who have to do with the edu- cation of our young people cannot but feel inspired by this grand portrayal of true education. Probably at no time since its utterance has there been such a general desire for its adoption in our schools as at the present time.
We have no sympathy with that system of education which turns out graduates from our schools like the manu- factured products from some machine.
Nature in her workshop abhors duplicates. Infinite variety is the great, natural law in both animal and vegetable life. Search the world of mankind over and no two people can be found who are alike in appearance, disposition or mind, or whose mission in life is precisely the same. The wise Creator has apparently provided a work or duty for each one to do in his own way. Is it not the mission of all educational forces to develop the powers of the boy and girl in order that their peculiar and better qualities may become dominant forces by the aid of which their better selves shall be brought to the front; thus making them- selves important and useful factors in the life of the com- munity ?
In relation to the common saying, "give us principles, not men," the late Rev. Phillips Brooks says, that men can- not so easily be brushed one side, for principles are of little or no value unless made alive by their embodiment in the minds and hearts of men who thereby become a powerful force in the nation's life.
Your committee believe that our schools under the care of our efficient superintendent and teachers are gradually
5
working in the direction indicated in the foregoing, and that the education of the hand and eye by the establishment of the manual training and cooking schools and the school gardens has not only proved of great value in and of itself, but it has also given an impetus to a greater interest in other studies found in the curriculum of the schools.
We feel that all our citizens may have a pardonable pride, when among all the school gardens in Massachusetts, the Fairhaven school garden takes the first prize for beauty, arrangement and neatness.
A writer on finance, in speaking of the importance of our own country among the other nations of the world, says, that "the wealth of this nation amounts to $150,000,000,000, a sum too vast for any mind to conceive of, but the success- ful education of the children in our country so that they may become worthy and useful citizens of this great republic would be a matter of far greater importance than the country's wealth, and the means of this nation's attainment to a more exalted position among the other nations of the world."
Your committee recommend for school purposes for the ensuing year an appropriation, the same as last year, of $16,750.

COMPARATIVE FINANCIAL STATEMENT
A glance at the figures below shows that the total expen- ditures for 1904 fell but little short of the total estimate, though the two items of books and supplies, and repairs together, exceeded their estimates by about $300, which amount was borrowed from the estimate for teachers' salaries. This involved the carrying over to next year's account the amount of a teachers' pay roll ($272) of one week. This amount together with the salary of an additional teacher for next year makes a larger estimate for salaries necessary.
