IV. THE TEACHERS' COUNCIL
Although the solution of the grading problem is the most important advance step in the School Depart- ment this year, the organization of the Teachers' Council promises to result in great professional help to the schools. The membership is composed of one repre- sentative from each school of less than sixteen teachers and two from each school of sixteen or more teachers. The Council is organized for the purpose of assisting the Superintendent and advising with him in the study of school problems. It also becomes a medium by which the teachers may approach the School Committee. Al- ready real service has been performed by the Council on several school problems, chief of which is the new uni- form course of study.
In closing, I wish to commend the teachers for their loyalty and devotion to their work, to thank the parents for their helpful interest and co-operation, and to express my gratitude to the members of the School Committee for the great assistance and hearty support given me in my work as Superintendent of Schools.
Respectfully submitted, CHESTER A. MOODY, Superintendent of Schools.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE ROBBINS LIBRARY
To the Town of Arlington :
The trustees of the Robbins Library submit their annual report.
The combined circulation for 1924 from the Central Library and Branches is 86,797 books and periodicals, showing a gain of 13,222 over the circulation in 1923. The above figures represent the entire circulation which previously has been itemized under the separate headings of books, periodicals and books loaned from the Branches and not included in the complete circulation. The cir- culation increase has been over a thousand a month, which shows there are great possibilities for further extending library service.
The attendance in reading room was 32,391, show- ing a gain on week days of 7,301-30,976 as against 23,675 in 1923, and a loss on Sundays of 185-1,415 as against 1,600 in 1923. The fact that the library was closed on Sunday for five months accounts for this loss.
Not only has the attendance in the reading room in- creased, but work with the pupils has grown and by next year we hope to make direct contact with the schools by having classes come to the library for instruction in the use of the library and reference books.
We have also co-operated with the Women's Clubs.
The attendance in Children's Room shows a gain on week days of 1,636-13,583 as against 11,947 in 1923, and a loss on Sundays of 455-843 as against 1,298 in 1923. It is in this room that many children make their first real contact with books and it is doubly important to have a good book collection. This necessity for new books and new copies of old books is felt in the juvenile department as well as in the adult.

REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF THE ROBBINS LIBRARY
An exhibition of children's books was held in the library during Children's Book Week, November 13th to 19th. Many beautifully illustrated books were shown, as well as the old favorites in new dress. There were also on view many interesting old juvenile books kindly loaned by townspeople. The exhibition was well attended, 626 in all. Many teachers sent their pupils to see the exhibition.
There has been a gain of 9,164 in books taken from the Stack Room-52,195 as against 43,031 in 1923. The use of periodicals shows a gain of 650-2,641 as against 1,991 in 1923.
The Postal Reserve shows a loss of 326-1,219 as against 1,545 in 1923. More new books are now avail- able, which accounts for the above loss.
There was a gain of 1,000 in books and periodicals loaned from the Arlington Heights Branch-5,139 as against 4,139 in 1923.
There was a loss of 195 in books and periodicals sent from the Central Library to the Heights-257 in 1924 as against 452 in 1923.
There was a gain of 1,690 in books and periodicals loaned from the East Branch-9,098 as against 7,408 in 1923.
There was a loss of 5 in books and periodicals sent from the Central Library to the East Branch-163 in 1924 as against 168 in 1923.
Visitors and readers at the East Branch were 3,436 as against 2,317, a gain in attendance of 1,119.
The registration of new borrowers for the Central Library and branches was 1,324 as against 1,023 in 1923, a gain of 301.
Through the Inter-Library loan system there were borrowed from the Boston Public Library in 1924, 56 books, and 1 from the Cambridge Public Library.

REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF THE ROBBINS LIBRARY
Among the donors to the library during the year were Dr. George W. Cutter, Mr. John A. Dadekian, Miss Grace E. Fettretch, Mr. Charles H. Gannett, Miss Mary C. Hardy, Mrs. H. Turner Hodgdon, Mr. H. G. Porter, Mrs. Harold Rice, Mrs. Peter Schwamb, Mr. John A. Squire, Miss L. Frances Tucker, Mrs. J. Arthur Tufts, Mrs. E. C. Turner and Mrs. E. P. Turner.
We are indebted to the editors of the Arlington Advocate and the Arlington Independent for printing without charge our lists of New Books. Mr. C. S. Parker has given us also a complete file of the Advocate for 1924. These files are found to be very valuable for reference.
As it had been decided during the previous year to recatalogue and reclassify the library books, a technical cataloguer was secured and the work was commenced in February. Great progress has been made, but many more months will be necessary before the work is com- pleted.
There has been a re-registration of readers using the library, and our records show an active list of 4,722 borrowers. This is not a large number in comparison with the population of Arlington, but a much more ade- quate supply of books will be needed before we can further extend our library service.
In March, the Newark Charging System was adopted and until the recataloguing has been completed, it will be necessary to use both the old and the new systems.
The period of transition is a difficult one, but with the splendid co-operation of the library staff the work is rapidly progressing and soon we hope to have the library functioning under normal conditions.
To obtain shelving space for the new books, many old ones have been discarded and others rarely used have been put in the basement, where they are easily obtained when requested.
348
ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
One of the greatest needs of the library is books- new books and new copies to replace worn out volumes of standard authors. There is great need of building up the collection of nonfiction by bringing various subjects such as psychology, science, etc., up to date. The Central Library feels its lack of an adequate supply of books and the branches can in no way meet the demands put upon them on account of their meagre collections.
No inventory of books will be taken until the recat- aloguing is complete.
Miss Emily Bucknam, who has served the library as card cataloguer for forty-one years, resigned in December. Her knowledge of books and ability to class- ify them, together with her finely written catalogue cards, made her a valuable assistant.
Two assistants have been added to the staff: Miss Velma J. Moore, who was appointed Reference Librarian, and Miss Katharine J. Middleton, who is on the staff temporarily to recatalogue the library.
