Some of the pupils, who at the commencement of the term could not distinguish the numerator from the denominator, could by the end of the term do quite passable work; while in making and correcting sen- tences, letter-writing and language work generally the progress was more marked and encouraging still. Considering the disadvantages and difficulties that re- strict our labors, the advancement generally for the season has been all that could reasonably be expected.
Practically all of the evening school pupils are confined in the various mills and workshops all day long, and are consequently not in the best possible condition of mind or body for mental application so near the close of the day. In fact it has occasionally happened that some little fellow, tired by his day's work in the mill, would actually fall asleep at his desk and, like tffe poor seamstress in Hood's "Song of a shirt," would do up his work "in a dream."
Again, each pupil has only three sessions a week with one and a half hours at each session, thus really giving to each one four and a half hours, or, in other words, barely half a day's instruction and study per week. This is for a term of not more than fourteen weeks, which is as long as the evening schools can continue with the prosent annual appropriation o
174
REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
$650. This appropriation includes, in addition to the salaries of the teachers engaged in the work, rental of rooms, fuel, light, janitor's services at both schools, special police duty and regular school supplies, such as books, stationery, pens, ink, pencils, etc.
I, however, would not suggest a longer session of school, as one and a half hours' steady application is as much as a boy or a girl can do with good results after a hard day's work at their regular vocation. The term, however, might possibly be extended farther into the winter months with decided advantage, as the nine months' recess after three months of school gives an excellent opportunity for most of the pupils to for- get what little they have learned.
Nevertheless, the results of the past term's work, notwithstanding the inevitable drawbacks and disad- vantages, have been decidedly helpful and uplifting to the pupils and encouraging in their results to both principal and teachers.
In conclusion I would add that the frequent visits of the Superintendent of Schools and his keen interest andevar apparent willingness to help in any way pos- sible, were decidedly encouraging and helpful to teach- ers and pupils, alike, and were no small items in the amount of good accomplished, and as such were grate- fully appreciated.

LIBRARIAN'S REPORT.
The library continues to show a steady increase in the number of volumes circulated ; 25,205 volumes have been circulated during the past year, while
185
REPORT OF LIBRARY COMMITTEE.
during the year previous 23,813 volumes had
been circulated. There have been only slight changes in the proportion of books circulated in the various classes; the percentage of fiction continues to decrease, that of the French books continues to increase.
395 volumes have been added to the library. 31 worn out volumes have been replaced by new cnes, these included the works in French of the Comtesse de Ségur, in 21 volumes. 161 volumes have been re- bound. Among the more valuable additions to the li- brary are 7 volumes (all that have been published to date) of the supplement to the Encyclopedia Britannica, additional volumes of Murray's English Dictionary and of the "Nouveau Larousse illustre," Lockwood's Colonial furniture in America, Jordan and Evermann's American food and game fishes, Stone and Cram's American animals.
426 names have been added to the registration list; an unusually large number.
A catalogue of books for boys and girls has been published and the finding list of books of religion will soon be ready for distribution.
We have had the usual exhibitions of pictures from the Library art club and the Woman's education- al association, some of especial interest, i. e .: pictures of Rome and of Munich; also of German festoons. Ex- hibitions of the art work of the public schools have been well attended.
The library has added Amateur Work, American Machinist, World's Work, and Success to its subscrip- tion list and through the kindness of Mr. Newhall, the
186
REPORT OF LIBRARY COMMITTEE.
Open Court, Mental Advocate, Mayflower Descendant, American Institute of Civics, and Manual and Register have been added to the reading room. Mr. Newhall has also presented to the library an interesting collec- tion of old newspapers.
The usual statistics follow this report.
