1959 REPORT OF LIBRARY TRUSTEES
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Carver, Massachusetts Gentlemen:
The increase in circulation indicates that the usefulness of the library has grown during the past year. In July and August the library was open Thursday afternoons, an additional three hours, to accommodate the summer patrons especially. Aside from the more usual books, we purchased three "books about books" to help the serious reader: A Parents' Guide to Child- ren's Reading, Historical Fiction and Book Bait, as well as a few "beginning - to - read" books for young children. Several young patrons won their State Certificate Reading awards.
The Cub Scouts, Brownies and the two First Grades visited the library, and the art classes exhibited their drawings and paintings.
We wish to express our appreciation to the donors of books, magazines, flower arrangements and to all who helped in any way to make the library more attractive and useful.

CLOSING OF SCHOOLS
It is the policy of the School Committee to close school only under the severest weather conditions or on such occas- ions when it is dangerous to operate school buses. At other times, parents are expected to use their own judgment in sending children to school. When a decision to close schools has been made, this information will be broadcast through the courtesy of radio stations WBZ and WNBH. The no- school signal will also be given on the local fire warning appa- ratus. This signal is two short blasts sounded three times. From records of the School Committee: February 1, 1960 VOTED: That the report of the Superintendent of Schools and other officers of the school system be hereby adopted as the report of the School Committee for 1959.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the Members of the Carver School Committee:
I herewith submit the report of the Superintendent of Schools for the calendar year 1959 and with it the reports and tables customarily included in the annual report of the school committee.
From the principal's report you will note the average attendance at the close of school in June to be 303 and from October 1 census report it will be noted there have been 320 children enrolled then. This represents a small increase in the total but one which makes no significant difference at the school. Any problems which we may have are not of numbers but rather in the fact that the numbers in some grade groups are too large for one section, yet scarcely large enough for two such sections. Mr. Shaw's report discusses this matter in some detail and we are pleased with the way in which the problem has been met.
Continuing further on the matter of enrollment, the figures for high and vocational school enrollment show 84 pupils in such outside schools. The comparable figure for the year previous was 96 indicating a decrease by twelve. We are currently in the process of re-entering Middleboro High School after an absence of eighteen years. When I first entered the service of Union 34 (then 47) in 1941, we were in the process of changing to Plymouth High School. Since then we have been from Plymouth to Silver Lake, and now, because Silver Lake needs the space for its own pupils, we are once again entering Middleboro and thus completing the cycle in twenty years.
