LIBRARY REPORT.
We feel that the library which contains so many good books and such an amount of reading matter is appreciated and enjoyed more and more each year.
155 new books have been purchased from the money ap- propriated at the last annual town meeting. Much care and thought have been exercised in selecting books to provide suitable reading for all classes from the school children to adults who are eagerly seeking for knowledge to be derived from books. In addition to this number 10 books have been contributed by friends of the library. Mrs. Oscar Pittman gave one, Mrs. Elliott W. Whitney one, Everett Clark eight volumes of Abraham Lincoln's writings. These were all grate- fully received. It is hoped that people will continue to use the library and its treasures feeling assured that a good book will gladden the heart, relieve the dullness of a long winter's night and serve to brighten the home life of any family. The library will be open Tuesday and Saturday afternoons from
35
2 until 5 o'clock and Saturday evenings from 7 until 9 except holidays.
Respectfully submitted, MRS. JOHN GEORGE, Librarian GEORGE H. HAWLEY, M. D. HANSON H. YOUNG. ISAAC E. HARRIMAN, Library Trustees.
We, the undersigned certify that we have examined the accounts of the selectmen, town clerk, collector, library trustees, road agents, joint fund accounts, fire wardens, trustees of the trust fund for the year ending January 31st, 1920, and find them correctly cast and properly vouched.

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS.
To the School Board of Barnstead:
I herein submit my third report as superintendent of schools, it being the third in the series of such reports.
Repairs.
At the Parade extensive repairs, some alterations and re- construction work has been done viz. the outhouses trans- fered to opposite side of shed and placed on fly tight cement vaults, a cement floor and steps laid in the shed, seating arrangement reversed in school room, additional windows installed on left of pupils to give required light. To fully meet the requirements of a model school room, there is need of ventilating flues, adjustable seats and a jacketed stove.
Under orders of the State Board of Education, a survey of all school buildings in the district has been made,giving data wherein the school houses meet and do not meet the state requirements. Since the standard school, according to the new state law, must be"in a suitable andsanitary building' "equipped with approved furniture, books, maps and other necessary appliances, " it is highly essential that the district adopt a construction policy and plan to put all usable school houses in suitable condition. In this matter, Barnstead faces a particularly difficult proposition. One that calls for unselfishness forbearance with one another, disretion and a virile determination to sacrifice all personal ambitions and conveniences to the highest welfare of the community and state. Some consolidation of your schools must be made or you will bankrupt your town in meeting the requirements of the state.
Teacher Shortage.
It seems almost needless for me to take time and space to impress on you the fact that the greatest and farthest reaching crisis to American democracy is the teacher problem, when every paper and magazine is teeming with data confirming this statement.
The Bulletin of the National Education Association for
41
November states: "Over 100,000 positions in the public schools today are vacant or filled by teachers who cannot pass the minimum tests for teachers' certificates. Strong teachers are leaving the profession because of inadequate pay. Positions are being filled by immature and untrained teachers."
On December 6, Governor Runyon, of New Jersey,stated among other things in a proclamation to his people: "If our children are to be taught by incompetent teachers or are not taught at all, the end of American democracy, as we know it, is in sight."
State superintendent of Maine, Mr. Thomas, stated on Dec. 28: "That eighty schools of Maine were closed because of teacher shortage, and that the number will soon be great- ly augmented. If present emergencies are not met at the coming town meetings, there will be 500 schools closed next autumn.
Out of 650,000 teachers in the United States, 143,000 left the profession last year."
Gen. Frank S. Streeter stated on Dec. 31, in regard to the problem in New Hampshire:
Fifty of our schools are closed because of a lack of teachers, and probably eighty or more will be closed within a few weeks.
From' statistical experience, we may expect there will be withdrawals of between400 and 450 teachers at the end of the present year. Our two normal schools will graduate less than 100.''
To this situation there is but one answer and that is our teachers are underpaid in everytown and state of our nation.
According to latest statistics living expenses have advanced 86%, wages in the ordinary pursuits of life 112%, while our increase in teacher wages is much less. Under these circum- stances, do you wonder that we as a nation face the greatest crisis of our national history? that Bolshevism is gaining a foot hold on American soil?
It is no time to preach financial retrenchment in educa- tional matters. To do so would express a flavor of unpatriotic devotion and a low sense of loyal duty to public welfare. Do
42
you realize that of the boys who stopped and turned back the hordes of autocratic vandals at Chateau Thierry 60% were college graduates, the highest products of the free school system of America? that the chief assets that won the war were brains?that the same aspiratons for autocratic power or no government at all are in the world today? that there is a lull in the struggle? that there is a training in the generation in our schools today that may be called to finish the fight?
Indeed, we should rejoice in the privilege of paying an in- crease in taxation when we realize that had the outcome of the struggle been otherwise our property, and homes would have been confiscated, our sons and daughters torn from our embrace, and perhaps we ourselves led out to face a firing squad.
The teachers of Barnstead have been faithful in their work and loyal to the district and I trust the citizens of Barnstead will feel it their patriotic duty to make as large and liberal appropriations for the year beginning Sept. 1st as is com- parably to and compatible with the vital interests of free government.
In conclusion, I wish to express my appreciation to the A 3 Add Barnstead Report
teachers for their willingness to work faithfully and for their hearty co-operation in all matters pertaining to the welfare of the schools, to the members of the school board for their unfailing assistance, support and encouragement. These con- ditions and the congenial attitude of parents, citizens and pupils have indeed helped to make the past year a success- ful and pleasant one.
Respectfully submitted, FREDERICK T. JOHNSON. Superintendent of Schools.
