Considerable attention was also devoted to letter- writing, both of a social and business nature. These exercises were, of course, necessarily simplified as much as possible so that the pupils could grasp and make use of the ideas intended to be conveyed.
Arithmetic also came in for a full share of atten- tion, a certain part of each evening being devoted en- tirely to this work for the whole school. This work included simple addition, subtraction and multiplica- tion, short and long division, fractions, decimals, United States money and the making up of bills of sale and common invoicing.
In addition to these studies there was also an ad- vanced class where regular 7th and 8th grade work was

taught including algebra and advanced arithmetic and history. The general progess made by the majority of the pupils was fully up to the standard of previous years, and in some instances the marked improvement made in language work, letter-writing and arithmitic was such as to be decidedly encouraging to the teachers and principals. In addition to the regular routine work with its necessary blackboard exercises and ex- planation of subjects to the different classes, the teachers and principals were always ready and cheer- fully willing to give personal attention to any of the pupils whenever called upon.
The Superintendent of schools also in is frequent visits invariably went through the various rows of desks giving personal aid and encouragement here and there whenever and wherever there was oppor- tunity to do so. The general deportment and disci- pline of the schools was fully as good as could be ex- pected, particularly when one takes into consideration the many different nationalties and the various and somewhat conflicting elements that we had to contend with.
The respect and attention of the pupils was dili- gently and patiently sought and often won by the evi- dent willingness of the teachers to give individual help and encouragement whenever possible and whenever called upon; and although perfect discipline was stead- ily insisted upon the firmness of the teachers aud prin- cipals was we hope, at all times tempered with fair ness and impartiality to all.
156
REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
As previously mentioned the attendance was fully up to the usual standard, until interfered with by the distraction of labor troubles and agitation, and the consequent large number of men and boys thus neces- sarily but unfortunately thrown out of employment.
Owing to the greatly increased number of pupils it became necessary to add two more teachers to the force than have been required in previous years, con- sequently the term had to be shortened about two weeks in order to keep strictly within the limits of the usual annual appropriation.
Respectfully submitted,
E. I. KNOWLES, Principal.

REPORT OF LIBRARY COMMITTEE.
LIBRARIAN'S REPORT.
During the past four years there has been a steady increase in the number of books circulated by the library. until during this last year 26,727 volumes have been taken out, more than one-third more vol- umes than were circulatsd four years ago. As for the kind of books circulated there has been a decrease in the number of volumes of fiction circulated with an increase in the circulation of children's and French books. Since the books for girls and boys have been separated into fiction and non-fiction there has been constant increase in the circulation of children's books of an educational nature As the French population of the town has increased, the circulation of French books has naturally increased.
Four hundred and twenty-one volumes have been added to the library during the year. Thirty-three new copies of books already in the library have been pur- chased to replace worn-out volumes. These include the complete works of Charles Reade. Among the technical and practical books purchased are the follow- ing: Modern engineering practice in 10 volumes, published by the Armour institute of technology; Woodworth's Hardening, tempering and forging of steel; Ellis Modern practical joinery; Woodworth's Dies, their construction und use: James' Indian brisketry; Bennett's Flower garden; Ely's Woman's hardy garden. The book committee es- pecially welcomes recommendations of books of a practical nature.

REPORT OF LIBRARY COMMITTEE.
The registration list of the library having been be- gun over thirty years ago and never having been re- vised, had become obsolete, many of the numbers were no longer used, many addresses were incorrect as the patrons of the library had failed to notify the library of changes in address. It was therefore thought ad- visable to begin a new registration. From August 1 to March 1, 1170 names were newly registered.
A catalogue of books of religion was published during the year. All the copies of the fiction catalogue were exhausted more than two years ago and there has been a wide demand for a new fiction catalogue. The library committee decided to print a fiction cata- logue and this catalogue is now in press. It will be paid for with the balance of receipts for 1903-1904. It will be ready for distribution during the latter part of March or the first part of April. During the coming year we hope to print reading lists for the use of pupils in the public schools.
We are obtaining shelf room by pushing the book shelves closer together and putting in extra shelves. On the third floor we are beginning to pile government documents on the floor, a condition of things having disadvantages.
The library art club has sent us pictures from time to time, among them pictures of Paris, of Sicily, of Munich, of Perugia, of Russia, of Venice, of Amster- dam and North Holland, Birds of New England, Har- per's black and white prints, and pictures illustrating the development of art in Italy.
The Strand has been substituted for the English

illustrated magazine and Two states, a Y. M. C. A. mag- azine, has been presented to the reading-room.
The Commercial Gazette and the Post of Pitts- burg, Pa., were presented to the newspaper room for the year. The Webster Times was discontinued when it became a daily. Thanks are due to the local news- paper offices for copies of their papers which have been given to the library, also for printing lists of ne w books.
