If errors or omissions are discovered in the list of births, mar- riages and deaths, report them to the town clerk, that the record may be corrected. Section 6 of Chapter 29 of the Revised Laws requires that "Parents within forty days after the birth of a child, and every householder, within forty days after a birth in his house, shall cause notice thereof to be given to the clerk of the city or town in which such child is born. Every householder in whose house a death occurs, shall, within five days thereafter cause notice thereof to be given to the board of health, or, if the selectmen constitute such board, to the town clerk." Section 29 of Chapter 151 of the Revised Laws reads as follows: "If a marriage is solemnized in another state between parties living in this common- wealth, who return to dwell here, they shall, within seven days after their return, file with the clerk or registrar of the city or town in which either of them lived at the time of their marriage a certificate or declaration of their marriage, including the facts relative to marriages which are required by law, and for neglect thereof shall forfeit ten dollars."
Blanks for the return of all vital records can be obtained from the town clerk.

THE THIRTY-SIXTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF TAFT PUBLIC LIBRARY.
It is a pleasure to report another year of pleasant and profit- able work at the library. There seems to be a constantly increas- ing appreciation of its advantages on the part of both young and old. This is as it should be, for we certainly are living in a reading age.
The new lighting system is a marked improvement. Electric lights are not only cleaner and more convenient, but they are more easily cared for. They give more and better light and it is more uniformly distributed, all of which tends to reduce eye-strain and makes it easy to read in any part of the building.
The State Library Commission has contributed an unusually large number of books during the past year, books of a solid and substantial character. Many of them are reference books includ- ing a Webster's International Dictionary. We are truly grateful to the Library Commission as well as to citizens and others who have contributed reading matter to the library during the year.
In a room so well lighted and heated it is perfectly practicable to do reference work if one wishes to do so. While the reference department is not large at present, doubtless more works of refer- ence would be added if the demands were sufficient to warrant it.
The co-operation between the library and the schools is cor- dial, but not so extensive as it might be. The librarian is always glad to assist pupils in finding books and material bearing upon their work, also in making a selection of books to send to the various schools.
A collection of library books should be found in every school- room, and they should be freely and liberally used to supplement the regular text-books. Library books thus used would stimulate
31
an interest in reading, illuminate the subjects being studied, and tend to make real students of the boys and girls.
Here is a splendid opportunity for the teachers of the public schools, and the success of the enterprise depends almost entirely upon them. In those rooms only where the teacher is interested and enthusiastic will very much reading be done outside of the pre- scribed text-books. If the teacher realizes the importance to the child of living in an atmosphere of books, the efficiency of her work will be doubled.
Respectfully submitted,
EDWIN L. WILSON, SMITH A. STEERE, LYMAN COOK, F. G. ATWELL,
Trustees of Taft Public Library.
