PUBLIC LIBRARY.
The sixth annual report of the Trustees of the
Mansfield Public Library is Herewith submitted:
At the annual meeting in March, 1359, Mr. W. A.
Copeland was re-elected a member of the Board of
Trustees, and Mr. James O. Hodges was elected to
succeed Mr. Lucas, whose term bad ezpired,and whose
return from California was uncertain. The Board or-
ganized at the regular meeting in March by choice of
Rev. Jacob Ide for President and W. A. Copeland,
Esq., for Secretary.
The Standing Committees were chosen as follows
On Library and Librarian, Messrs. Ide, Robinson
and Copeland.
On Library Room, ?Messrs. Borden and Rogerson.
On Finance and Accounts, Messrs. Rogerson and
Hodges.
-The Librarian, _Hiss Hattie M. Shepard, and the
Assistant Librarian, Miss Grace M. Cobb, were both
re-elected and have served very acceptably as hereto-
fore.
There have been added during the year by gift
and purchase 164 volumes, making the total number
46
of 2,198 volumes in the Library at the present time,
besides numerous duplicates which are provided in
cases where there is great demand for the book.
A leaflet containing a list of the books added since
January, 1889, has just been issued, and copies can be
obtained at the Library. The additions are classified
!` as follows: Fiction, 87 ; Miscellaneous, 67 ; Juve-
nile, 7; History, 2 ; Star (Reference Books), 1.
Through the generosity of Hon. Elijah A. Morse,
' our Representative in Congress at Washington from
this district, the Library receives the Congressional
Record, a government daily publication containing the
proceedings of Congress in frill. As we have no
reading -room connected with the Library, nor accom-
modations for one at present, these papers are placed
on the Library shelves, and any one desiring to con-
sult the Record can do so upon application to the Li-
brarian. Although we do not subscribe regularly for
any magazines or papers, yet there are frequent dona-
tions of interesting papers and periodicals which are
of comparatively little present value to the public on
account of the lack of reading -room accommodations.
(mite a number of government books have also been
received during the year from the various departments
at Washington.
The total circulation for the year has been 10,927
volumes, an average of 46 for Tuesday evenings and
177 for Saturdays. The class of books taken out has
the following average: Fiction, 102; Juvenile, 42;
47
Miscellaneous, 21 ; Biography, 10; History, 1 ; Poe-
try, 1.
Ninety-six new names have been added to the list
of borrowers. Eighty-nine volumes have been re-
bound and quite a number which were entirely worn
out have been replaced by new ones.
The receipts from sale of Catalogues and from
fines amount to $25.
The Trustees recommend the same appropriation
as granted last year, $400.

I SCHOOL COMMITTEE'S REPORT.
Of our schools the past year it may be said, there has been
a growing interest on the part of pupils as well as teachers,
and generally the work has been very satisfactory.

school work as it should be today, and is in most of our Massa-

Think of one teacher's having to crowd between sixty and
seventy scholars into one room. President Elliot once remark-
ed that it required a teacher with saint -like attributes to get
on with and attend to the wants of forty, and the saying can
be appreciated by those who have bad the experience.
In order to accommodate the scholars in the neighborhood
of No. 4 we need two good rooms; and we would recommend
either an addition to the old house of two such rooms, or the
building in that vicinity of a good two -roomed schoolhouse

"The power granted by the thirtieth section is absolute. It

wise public policy would avoid a disclosure of them. Experi-

mittees are reluctant to take upon themselves the responsibility
of dismissing a teacher, except in extreme casea."
