We believe the Nurse Association's work deserves the support of everyone in the town and that everyone should be a member. Surely, the annual dues of 25c per person ought to be no bar to membership.
We hope you will all be ready to join this year when the volunteer solicitors make their annual canvas.
The Association regrets to announce the resignation of its President Mrs. Albert L. Sylvester, who has given so liberally of her time and thought to the work of the Associ- ation.
In conclusion would say, that it is doubtful if there is a more important activity than that which has to do with the Public Health. This association is not only earnestly striving to assist the adults in their illness, but it also hopes to anticipate by preventive measures possible sickness in the young; and in as much as the field is very broad, we are only limited in our activities by the means at our disposal.
This is a necessary work and we urge your co-operation.
LENORE C. CRONIN, President

Our total circulation for the year was 1541, 1170 fiction and 371 non-fiction.
We are indebted to the State Library Commission and several individuals for gifts of books and to the James Library for generous loans. We have added about 90 vol- umes during the year, 50 by purchase and 40 by gift.
By the will of the late Mrs. Annabel Wakefield our library has received a bequest of $100, which may serve as an incentive to other generous friends to add to this gift so that we may eventually have a sufficient fund to provide an adequate building.

Plymouth County Aid to Agriculture
LOUIS H. OGDEN, NORWELL DIRECTOR
Short winter courses for Homemakers are given at the Massachusetts Agricultural College each year, starting in January and ending in March. In this winter course, the women may study as they like. The entire time may be devoted to practical courses in home-making; to cooking, canning, and other subjects; to raising poultry, vegetables, flowers, or to combine one or two courses in home-making with courses in agriculture and horticulture. In addition to class room and laboratory work, there will be opportunity to attend college meetings, athletic games, and to take part in college activities. Expenses run from $120 to $140. This includes room, board, and text books. Send to Director of Short Courses, M. A. C., Amherst, for cata- logue and special announcement of School for Home-makers.
Junior Club work has been organized throughout the United States and aims to help country boys and girls to improve rural farm and home practices and the social life of their own communities; to show them the possibilities of rural life; to aid those who so desire to become efficient farmers and home-makers, and to teach country boys and girls how to make themselves public-spirited, useful citizens, and leaders in rural affairs. We have a County Club Agent for this work if your children are interested in forming a club.
As an incentive to our boys and girls to join this club movement and avail themselves of the splendid opportunities
