Finally,-without going further into detail, I object to the Pollard System, as laid out, for the following reasons :
1. It exaggerates the importance of pronunciation.
2. It largely neglects all other elements of good reading.
3. It demands too much time on the part of both pupil and teacher.
191
SCHOOL COMMITTEE'S REPORT.
4. It crowds out or seriously interferes with all other school exercises.
5. It is ill adapted to children of tender years, and therefore misplaced.
6. It recognizes little or no supplementary reading, and thus denies access to that fund of beautiful and uplifting literature, so well adapted to child nature.
7. It gives little or no attention to the meaning of words or to the thought expressed.
8. It wastes valuable time and labor on non-essentials.
9. It adds little to the child's vocabulary, and is exceed- ingly barren in the use of words already known.
10. It falsely teaches children that reading is pronounc- ing words.
11. It violates nature's method ; for children, at first, should learn to read as they learn to speak, i. e., grasp the word as a whole.
12. It restrains the freedom and cramps the individual- ity of the teacher.
13. The consensus of opinion among educated bodies is to the effect that it is of little or no educational value.
14. It reduces to a minimum oral and written language work.
15. The judgment of teachers when given without reser- vation and when they are protected in an honest expression of opinion is generally against the system.
16. It burdens the child mind with complicated and somewhat contradictory rules and attempted application at an unreasonable age.
17. The good effects whatever they may be are so large- ly overbalanced by the ill effects, that if the former can- not be carried on without the latter, the whole should be dropped.
18. Monopolizing both time and labor, it prevents
192

further enrichment of school course, by subjects demanded by the times,-such as Nature study, etc.
19. Finally, because better reading can be secured by other methods, without such an extravagant waste of time and energy and without detracting from other school work.

MRS. JOHN .I. PEATFIELD.
Music and Drawing.
The Music in our schools continues under the supervision of Miss Blanche E. Heard and the results are excellent. Miss Emma K. Parker, Supervisor of Drawing, tendered her resignation, to take effect Jan. 1, 1897, A successor to Miss Parker will probably be appointed soon.
The Sub-Committee on this subject have under considera- tion plans which we hope will make Drawing of much more value to our schools than it has been.
Manual Training and Sewing.
In view of the success achieved and the growing interest manifested in these departments, the advantages have been extended to the pupils of the seventh grade.
In order to accommodate these new scholars in manual training it has been necessary to put in fifty new drawers or lockers, and purchase tools for two additional benches.
Kindergarten.
The Committee are of the opinion that a Public Kinder- garten would be of great benefit to the children in the town.
In both the Russell and Crosby school houses there is room for such a school, but the crowded conditions in the Cutter and Locke districts render it impossible to accommo- date those sections of the town, therefore, we have no recommendation to offer in this matter at present.
193
SCHOOL COMMITTEE'S REPORT.
Decoration of School Rooms.
We are pleased to note that a movement emanating from the Woman's Club, with a view toward the beautifying of our school rooms, has taken form and gained considerable progress.
Buildings and Repairs.
Aside from the customary minor repairs to the school houses and grounds, a new boiler has been placed in Russell School, the old boiler has been reset on a lower foundation, and much of the piping has been changed, making it possi- ble to thoroughly heat the whole building. Considerable work has been done in pointing up the outside walls.
The walks and that portion of the grounds which is con- creted have received a top-dressing of rock asphalt. On the Medford street side the grounds have been re-graded and seeded down. A line of curbstone has been set on the outer edge of the Medford street sidewalk.
Cutter School.
The grounds here were given a coat of gravel during the summer vacation. No other repairs have been necessary except recoating the blackboards.
Locke School.
A new furnace has been put in to replace the old one which was worn out.
Crosby School.
Here, as soon as the newly graded grounds froze and thawed a little it was found necessary to gravel a space for a small playground for the children.
No provision having been otherwise made for fencing the grounds here, it has been paid for from our appropriation.
Respectfully submitted. HERBERT H. CEILEY, JOSEPH C. HOLMES, J. HOWELL CROSBY, For the Committee.

STATISTICS.
The table at the end of this report indicates 1341 pupils en- rolled during the year. 1176 average membership, 1092 average attendance, and 94 per cent. attendance. In 1895 the record was 1259 enrolled, 1035 average membership, 996 average attend- ance, and 94 per cent. attendance. The number of different pupils attending school in town during the year 1896 appears to be 82 more than in 1895, and 138 more than in 1894. The difference shows considerable increase in school population and further growth on the part of the town.
At the end of the year, December 23, 1896, there were 1128 pupils divided as follows :
HIGH SCHOOL, 109 ; Grade IX, 62,- making 171 in the High School Building. A year ago it was 181.
RUSSELL SCHOOL, 420. A year ago it was 433. The Crosby School, when the new building was completed, took about 80 pupils from the Russell district :- notwithstanding this, the in- crease at the Russell has nearly made up the loss.
CROSBY SCHOOL, 203. A year ago 112.
CUTTER SCHOOL, 169. A year ago 162.
LOCKE SCHOOL, 185.
A year ago 147.
The Crosby and the Locke appear to have quite an increase while the Cutter a little more than holds its own.
The per cent. of attendance for the year is the same as for the year before, i. e., 94 per cent.

REPORT
OF THE
TRUSTEES OF THE ROBBINS LIBRARY.
To the Town of Arlington :
The Trustees of the Robbins Library submit their annual report :
There has been a gratifying increase in the use of the Li- brary during the past year : the number of books and magazines taken out being 42,348. In 1895 it was 38,579. This number, it should be remembered, does not include the books and periodicals examined in the Reading Room and not taken from the Library.
Since April 1, 1896, the Reading Room has been open on Sunday afternoons from 2.30 to 5.30 o'clock, and on the forenoons of week days from 10 to 12 o'clock. The number of Sunday readers, especially during the colder months, has been sufficient to show the existence of a real demand for opening the room. Furthermore, many visitors from other towns have found Sunday a convenient day on which to see the Library, The attendance in the forenoon has naturally been small, as few people have leisure to visit the Library at that time of the day. Those who are able so to do, apparently, much appreciate the opportunity.
The Library, since April 1, has been opened in the after- noon for the delivery of books at one o'clock instead of at
197
REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF ROBBINS LIBRARY.
three, as formerly. This change has proved convenient to those who prefer to visit the Library during the earlier part of the afternoon, particularly to scholars in the High and Russell Schools, and relieves to some extent the demand and consequent delays at later hours. There appeared to be a considerable desire for the foregoing changes as was mani- fested by discussion in the Improvement Society and by vote of the Woman's Club, and we believe the results have fully justified them.
In a Library like ours, in the absence of means for the purchase of a large number of volumes, it is especially desir- able that the books which we have should be made as useful as possible. To this end, the plan has been adopted of re- serving books for special purposes, and placing them in the Reading Room where they may be freely consulted, but may not be taken away. As the reservation, ordinarily, con- tinues for not more than two or three weeks, no particular inconvenience is caused by such temporary withdrawals of books from circulation. When new books are put into the Library they are kept in the Reading Room for a short time before they are placed on the shelves, in order that the pub- . lic may examine them, and so keep well informed as to addi- tions. Another application of the plan is in connection with two debating clubs. Notice of the proposed question for debate is sent to the Library. The books that can be found relating to the topic are gathered together and the members of the club may, and do, consult them. Books on subjects of more general interest are reserved for several weeks and placed on a table in the Reading Room. Some of these sub- jects have been " Kindergarten," " Thanksgiving Day," " The Money Question," " Columbus," " Washington." It has been found that many people are much interested in looking over the collection, and often note down titles and numbers so as to take out the books when they again go into circulation.

REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF ROBBINS LIBRARY.
Apart from this more general work much assistance is given to individuals who are investigating special topics. This function of the Library is peculiarly interesting and im- portant, and its extension and improvement are always to be sought.
In the fall it was decided to limit the time of retaining new novels to one week without the right to renew. Books of this class are in especial demand for the first few months after their issue, and by restricting the time more people have an opportunity to read them.
At the beginning of the year the plan was introduced of issuing to any person already holding a card a second card permitting him to take out books not of fiction. This two-card system enables the holder to take out two books at a time provided that both books are not novels. Five hundred and twenty-one of these cards have been issued during the year. At first some cards were applied for by persons who made little use of them, but as the system has become better understood there is a steady growth in the number of applications from those who properly appreciate the privilege. It will readily be seen that to any one using · the Library for purposes of study the right to take out two volumes at a time is often valuable. Others find it con- venient to use the ordinary card to take out works of fiction and reserve the extra card for more serious reading. The privilege is evidently becoming more and more appreciated, and we hope that the use of the second cards may continue to increase.
An intelligent use of this system has been made by one of the teachers in the Russell School, who has encouraged her pupils to obtain extra cards and to use them in taking out books of history, biography, etc., connected with their studies. As this does not interfere with the children's use of their ordinary cards it is regarded by them as a privilege and not as a burden. It is to be hoped that other teachers
199
REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF ROBBINS LIBRARY.
will make more systematic use of this means of bringing the resources of the. Library into connection with the work of the schools.
We are indebted to Mr. Winfield Robbins for the gift of five large pictures to adorn the Reading Room. These are copied from paintings by distinguished French artists. The subjects are " At the Fountain," " Alexander and Porus," " Columbus Received by the Sovereigns of Spain on His Return from the Discovery of America," " Washington at the Siege of Yorktown," "Napoleon after the Battle of Eylau." At Christmas two other very interesting gifts were received from Mr. Robbins,-a miniature of Franklin painted during his residence in France, by Mme. LeBrun, and a series of pictures on vellum, dating from the fifteenth century, representing the parable of the Prodigal Son.
Books have been given during the year by Mr. Winfield Robbins, Mr. R. C. Winthrop, Hon. S. W. McCall, Wo- men's Relief Corps No. 43 and others. Messrs. C. S. Parker and Son have continued their gifts of the Arlington Advocate, so that the Library now has a complete file of the paper from its establishment. With the recently issued " Souvenir " to serve as an index, this record of the town's history during the last twenty-five years has become much more accessible than heretofore
The walls of the building have been carefully examined and the joints between the stones have been pointed in many places. More work of this nature should be done during the coming year to put the outside into thoroughly good condition. The concrete walk between the first and second flights of steps in front of the Library has been re- laid. The lighting of the Reading Room and Catalogue Room has been much improved by the introduction of several Welsbach burners. A bulletin frame has been placed in the vestibule. Other small repairs have been made as needed.
Miss Angie Adams, one of the assistants, resigned in

September and was succeeded by Miss Helen H. Learned. Otherwise, the Library staff remains as before and continues to do excellent work.
The Reading Room and the system of delivery of books at the Heights have been continued with good results as shown by an increase in attendance and number of books delivered.
In the appended Statement of the Librarian will be found the statistics for 1896, a list of periodicals now taken, and a statement of the hours during which the Library and Reading Room are open.
