The library was not created for the few, but for the many, therefore to give a card to a new patron is a pleasure, extending as it does library privileges in another direction. During the year cards were issued to 428 people, thus opening many channels for amuse- ment or instruction; 73 of the number registered at East Rochester; 39 at Gonic and 316 at the library.


The demand for books not only shows the trend of modern thought but to a great extent follows the newest and most interesting publications. The great demand, in non-fiction, has been during the year for books con- cerning the European situation, but in spite of this great crisis in the world's affairs and in spite of the flood of interesting literature and the current news which must be read, the great hue and cry still goes forth for fiction. The number of books given out was 68,761, an increase of 11,263 over last year. The children's room shows a circulation of 18,263, an in- crease of 5,504. The agency reports give a circulation of 33 more at East Rochester, a total of 2,651; an increase of 606 at Gonic and a total of 3,739.


The privilege of using the library for fortnightly meetings has been granted two of the local clubs, one the Nature Study Club, the other, the Half Hour Read- ing Circle. This not only broadens its usefulness but helps to make of the library a center from which may radiate much of good to the community.


The reading and reference room records show a


168


ANNUAL REPORT OF


decided increase in readers and students, the total number 19,049 is 4,979 more than last year. The readers in the children's room numbered 9,542. This room as well as the reference room is often crowded to its utmost capacity. Several times during the year it has been necessary to send groups of High School stu- dents to one of the rooms upstairs on account of the crowded condition of the reference room. The Sunday readers numbered 651, for the most part men or boys. The largest number any one Sunday, 62.


As heretofore, a very large proportion of the refer- ence work has been done with the pupils of our schools. So large a part of each school day is devoted to their varied needs, that, in spite of the advice of Mr. Ward the library has been in great danger of becoming a school or being swallowed entirely by the schools. You will get some idea of this part of the work, if you notice in the statistics, that 86 library books were in different school rooms at one time and that, in all 401 have been given out to teachers for use in the school rooms; that, 1,090 books have been held in reserve at the library for pupils and teachers and that, there have been as many as 75 pupils in a single day, looking up subjects assigned. While this proves that the library willingly does what it can to assist in the educational system of Rochester, it likewise proves that it must hold an im- portant place in that system, that while saving many dollars of the school appropriation it cripples its own finances to some extent as, in order to provide the assistance required, time and money has to be diverted from some other legitimate branch of the work.


During the ten years which the library has occu- pied its present building, it has grown from 10,004 volumes to a library, with all lost and worn out books


169


CITY OF ROCHESTER


discounted, of 17,741 volumes. From an annual cir- culation of 30,571 to one of 68,761. From the 4,715 readers of 1906 to 19,049 during 1915. During the present year it has attained a phenomenal growth in out-put and in use. It almost seems as if the highest possible point had been reached unless the people can do more for it. It has been said that "no institution touches the lives of so many of its people," that, "it deals not merely with students preparing for life but with men and women leading lives." It would there- fore seem to be not only a duty but a privilege for the citizens to do what they can for the library.


The year as far as the inside working is concerned, has been one of rush, of wear and tear, of care and worry, in order that the material on hand might satisfy the insistent demands. The book appropriation has been by far inadequate, supplementing as the library must, every grade in our schools from the first to the senior class in High School; providing for more ad- vanced students as well as the general reader ; supply- ing the demand whether it be for history or philosophy, fiction or the material for the workers in every art, trade, profession or walk in life. Reference and reading rooms on the first floor are oftimes inadequate to accommodate those who come for a legitimate use of the library. Salaries are inadequate. As the staff has to supplement the work of the schools as well as to competently meet the various needs of the library pat- ronage, salaries should be placed on a par with the teachers, with a suitable ratio of increase according to the years of service, in order that a library employee, when well used to and reasonably proficient in her line of work shall not find it necessary to take up more lucrative employment in order to gain a living. The


170


ANNUAL REPORT OF


work of a library, from its highest position to its lowest is not play work, but earnest, painstaking, thoughtful, hard work, by no means limited to the time which the doors are open to the public. Work to which only the willing, the patient, and the studious are eligi- ble.


I wish at this time to thank the trustees for their kindness and encouragement and to express my grati- tude to the assistants for their faithful service and wil- ling co-operation in the work of the year. I would also express thanks to any and all who have in any way, by word, by deed, or by gift shown their appre- ciation of the library.


Respectfully submitted,


LILLIAN E. PARSHLEY,

Report of the Superintendent of Schools


To the School Board of Rochester:


I submit herein my first annual report as superin- tendent of schools, it being the twenty-fourth in the series of such reports. I shall attempt only a brief statement, based upon the experience of the past half- year. The report is brought down to March first of the present year.


I was elected superintendent June 18, for the year beginning August 1. Between these dates I was able to command from one to three days a week, which I spent in Rochester, acquainting myself with the needs of the school system.


I should like here to acknowledge the very great kindness and courtesy of my predecessor in office, Mr. Everett A. Pugsley, who during this time, spared no pains to assist me in becoming familiar with the details of the administration of Rochester schools, and who, even after the expiration of his term of office, gave much time to the work of completing and arranging a system of records recently installed.


The duties of superintendent of schools are two- fold, administrative and educational. During the six months covered by this report I have found so many matters claiming my attention as the executive officer of the board that I have made only a beginning of the


197


CITY OF ROCHESTER


work of inspecting and assisting to make more efficient the work of the teachers in the classroom.


My first task was the search for new teachers, to fill vacancies already existing, and those which re- peatedly occurred during the summer. The following list shows the changes which have occurred since the last report.

During the summer supplies were purchased for the fall term, competitive bids being first called for from several of the supply houses, and the supplies were delivered directly to the various schoolhouses. By the same methods supplies for the calendar year have been purchased during the month of January, out of the appropriation for this year.


During the summer vacation cement walks were laid at the School street and Maple street schools, greatly improving the buildings and grounds, and pre- venting the washing of the soil by rain from the roofs. New floors were laid at East Rochester, grade I, and at

ANNUAL REPORT OF


Meaderboro. The boilers at the Gonic, Allen, and High school, were re-lined with fire-brick. At Gonic the return pipes and flues to the chimney were changed, increasing the efficiency of the heating plant. At School street four sections were replaced in the large boiler, and one in the small boiler. At both the Gonic and High schools new grates were installed. In sev- eral rooms seats were changed so that pupils would not have light coming over the right shoulder. One new room in the Allen building was fitted up for the occu- pancy of the overflow of the fifth and sixth grades, partly by the purchase of new seats and desks, and partly by transfers of furniture from other rooms. During the Christmas holidays new desks and seats were placed in the High school room formerly occupied by the seventh grade, and the furniture removed was used to furnish the small room in the School street school now occupied by the eighth grade.


Some progress has been made in the adequate equipment of the schools with reference and text books. Classes are now furnished with music books and pen- manship manuals, and fairly well equipped with read- ing material. Arithmetics, geographies, histories and grammars are in very poor condition and inadequate in quantity. We shall be able, with the recent appro- priations, to make progress in supplying the deficiences here in the near future. Two new typewriters were purchased for the commercial department during the summer in exchange for out-of-date machines.


I have spent much time, acting as secretary of the committee on new rules and regulations, in collecting and arranging material, and putting it in such shape that it could be discussed by the committee. This work is nearly completed, and the rules and regulations ready for submission to the board.

CITY OF ROCHESTER


Following the demand of the state board of health upon the local board for the strict enforcement of the law relating to vaccination, the requirement has been made that every pupil be either vaccinated or present a certificate from a physician saying that he is an unfit subject for vaccination. By direction of the board of health, the few pupils who failed to comply with these requirements were excluded from school. I am able to report at the present time, that compliance with the law has been practicably complete.


We have made provision for the health and com- fort of pupils who remain at the school buildings dur- ing the noon hour by furnishing in some of the build- ings a warm dish to accompany their lunch. Through the generosity of friends of the schools, the Allen, and School street schools have been furnished with simple outfits consisting of oil stove and dish washing and cooking utensils, and a similar outfit has been promised for the East Rochester school. The children co-operate by bringing the dishes needed for their own use and in contributing their share of the food. Such dishes as hot cocoa, soups, and potatoes and eggs cooked in va- rious ways, are prepared to accompany the cold lunch brought by the children. The plan offers an oppor- tunity for instruction in good housekeeping, cooking, care of food and utensils, table manners, and the habit of co-operation.
