REPORT OF LIBRARY COMMITTEE.
solutely no method of heating, wretched ventilation in all parts of the library. We have about reached the height of what may be done with the present quarters. If there is not an immediate prospect of a new library building, it will be necssary in the near future to make some arrangement for additional room, or the library will have to cease buying books, which latter may not be done under the terms by which the pres- ent library quarters were given to the town. It cer- tainly seems unfortunate that Southbridge should not have a library building worthy of the collection of books of which the town may be justly proud.
During the year unusually many books have been bought to replace wornout volumes. It is just as necessary to have whole and reasonably clean copies of the standard and popular books already in the library as to buy the new books that are coming out. Among the new books purchased have been a goodly number of practical books, such as farming and gardening books, mechanical books, books about furniture and house furnishings. We could especially call your attention to these books in the appended list of new books. Brady's "American fights and fighters" are five volumes of American history in what is practically story form. These books are very popular with men and boys. Most men would be interested in Peary's "North Pole," Whitney's "Hunting with the Eskimos," Roosevelt's "African game trails" and Tjader's "Big game of Africa." 96 French books have been bought during the year. Of these 41 volumes were new titles and the other 55 volumes replaced wornout books.
228 volumes have been rebound, 93 volumes of periodicals have beeen bound.
Through the library art club we have exhibited the following pictures : Jamaica ; Florence ; Shakespeare ;
186
REPORT OF LIBRARY COMMITTEE.
Pompeii ; Greece ; Whistler ; Famous pictures ; Rise of sculpture ; Dr. Nutting's New England views ; Egypt ; Audobon's birds.
The Woman's education association kindly sent us a collection of Yosemite pictures in February.
During 1911 we shall have two copies of the "Ladies' home journal," one of which may be taken from the library for home use. The "World of to-day" has been added to the reading-room.
During the Librarian's three months leave of absence, Miss Elizabeth Frost, a graduate of the New York state library school, carried on the work of the library very efficiently.
The newspapers have kindly printed lists of new books from time to time as well as notices concerning the library.
ELLA E. MIERSCH,
Librarian.

ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
OVERSEERS OF POOR
FOR THE YEAR ENDING FEBRUARY 1, 1911
It is with pleasure and satisfaction that we sub- mit the following report of our department for the year ending February 1, 1911.
Mr. and Mrs. Honore Dorval, warden and matron. who have had the management of the almshouse. the overseers have secured their services for the ensuing year ; the southwest end of building has been remod- eled making it more convenient for the inmates : a piazza has been also added to same part, so that the in- mates or sick persons may take the fresh air and be under cover. There have been 32 rooms painted and white washed ; at present the almshouse is in the best of condition. We invite the public to pay a visit to the almshouse and see for themselves. We have been told that some prominent men have received letters from inmates complaining about food and clothing ; we would be pleased if some one would investigate the matter and see whether the inmates are right or wrong. On January 17, 1911 we investigated, while at almshouse, with the appraiser, and a report was made to the board by the town physician and the Chairman of the Overseers of Poor.
