During my general inspection of the children this year, I was ably assisted by the Public Health Nurse, Miss Eva May Lord. The follow-up work at the children's homes has helped to hasten the parents in correcting any and all defects which the children may have and has induced a more speedy recovery of the children's health.
We made a very careful general examination of the pupils, and any and all defects recorded, and advised methods of relieving such ailments.
The general hygienic and physical aspect of the pupils throughout the schools have shown improvement from year to year, and also the willingness and co-operation of the parents with the school physician and nurse in their endeavor to better the children's welfare.
Respectfully submitted,
DR. CYRIL A. BLANEY, School Physician.

Report of Librarian.
January 1, 1922.
To the Trustees of the J. V. Fletcher Library :
The report of the Library for the year ending December 31, 1921, is herewith presented.
This year marks the close of the twenty-fifth year of the occupancy of the present building. During this time the number of volumes has in- creased from 8,564 to 17,683. The magazine list has been enlarged to sixty, with a greatly extended use due to the privilege of borrowing for home reading. A new system of classification was installed in 1901, making better and quicker service possible. The rules concerning the circulation of books have been simplified to make it as easy as possible for all to obtain the books they need. The stack-room which seemed so ample at the time, is now overcrowded and will need more shelf room soon. Judicious weeding out of the old and unused books is recommended as a first step to relieve the congestion.
It is with pleasure that we announce the establishing of another deposit station this year in the rapidly growing community of Brookside. The books have been placed in the Community Hall. Mrs. Healey, the caretaker, has done efficient work as librarian and reports that the books are much appreciated.
Again we are much indebted to the American Library Association. for the gift of 24 books of non-fiction which were no longer needed in the army.
Mr. Julian A. Cameron has increased our fiction list by a gift of 89 volumes which are much enjoyed.
Miss Ida L. Prescott presented to the Library an unbound set of "The World's Famous Events Portrayed in Word and Picture." It is a valuable collection of. pictures which has already been very useful to the history teacher in presenting her subject to her classes. -
A collection of 65 pictures on Belgium was loaned to the Library for a month by the Woman's Education Association and was much enjoyed. A portfolio of pictures of the Parthenon of Greece was borrowed for use at the Academy.
In June the prize posters made by the school children in the Public Health contest were on exhibition at the Library.
The Library has borrowed from the Division of Public Libraries some books in the Spanish language at the request of one of its readers. They are lent for six months.
This year being the three hundredth anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrims, a collection of books connected with Pilgrim history and customs was placed on the table in the reading room for several months. A large collection of pictures were displayed on the bulletin boards. In the children's room an exhibit representing some of the children captured in the Deerfield raid, the parsonage at that time and an Indian tent attracted much interest.
5
An effort has been made to keep the public informed of the new books and other items of interest by means of notices in the papers.
The picture collection which was started two years ago has increased faster in use than in size. About 250 pictures were loaned to the teachers during the year. Aside from the sets of National Geographic pictures which were purchased, the collection consists principally of pictures from magazines which the Library does not keep on file, advertising pamphlets and post cards. Old magazines with pictures of historical events, travel, well-known men and women, artistic value, etc., which are no longer of use to their owners, will be much appreciated and put to good use if given to the Library.
The Library went through an unusual experience the first three weeks in December when it was necessary to illuminate the building with one borrowed kerosene lamp and a flashlight. At the end of two weeks a second lamp was borrowed. Previous to this experience the electric lights have not failed on library days, since the present librarian was in charge, except two other evenings this fall, when it was necessary to close for lack of a lamp. Warned by this, a lamp was borrowed for the winter from the Misses Atwood.
The third annual Children's Book Week, Nov. 13-19, was observed at the Library. An attractive collection of worth-while children's books was on exhibition till Christmas. A short talk on the purpose of the week, "More books in the home," was given before the Tadmuck Club. Cards illustrated by Jessie Willcox Smith were mailed to mothers inviting them to the Library. Lists entitled "Children's Books for Christmas Presents" were distributed.
During the past year the Librarian has had the privilege of attending several meetings which were of especial value. In June the American Library Association held its annual meeting at Swampscott for a week, at which librarians from the whole country met to talk over their work. In July, she attended the institute for small libraries in charge of the Division of Public Libraries of Massachusetts, and also the three- week summer course in "Library Work With Children," given at Simmons. In this course much emphasis was laid on choosing the right book for the child at the right time.
Again the magazine circulation has increased, passing the three thou- sand mark this year. A few changes have been made in the list of maga- zines. All except current numbers may be borrowed and the list for the coming year is as follows :
