To His Honor John F. Fitzgerald,
Mayor of the City of Boston :
Sir, — The Trustees of the Boston Public Library present the following report for the period extending from the end of January, 1906, to the end of January, 1907. This is the fifty-fifth annual report.
Mr. Solomon Lincoln was reappointed a Trustee for five years from May 1, 1906. The Board organized by electing Mr. Solomon Lincoln President, Rev. Dr. James De Nor- mandie Vice President, and Miss Delia Jean Deery Clerk.
The following tables exhibit the receipts and expenditures for the year covered by this report :

While it may seem (or rather while it is) unsatisfactory that but 14i per cent, has been devoted to the purchase of new publications of all kinds, we have to accept the fact that the running expenses can be reduced only by a radical departure from the system to which the public has become accustomed, and which, we believe, it would be sorry to lose. After all, as the following table makes clear, the percentage which we spend for publications does not compare unfavorably with such other large public libraries as we could easily use for comparison, being, in fact, larger than in any of the others except one.
Boston . Brooklyn Chicago . Cleveland Pittsburgh
Unfortunately comparisons with New York and Philadel- phia are not possible, since figures are not at hand from those cities.
The share devoted to general maintenance — 23.27 per cent. — is not unduly large in consideration of the various ways in which the library serves the public, apart from the ordinary giving out of books at the desks of the various libraries and reading rooms. For instance, the sending of books from the Central Library to the various branches and stations, instead of forcing borrowers to go to the Central, the maintenance of many small deposits for the convenience of isolated groups of citizens, and the co-operation with the schools necessarily involve a heavy expense.
One new reading room has been opened at City Point. Its circulation of 17,835 volumes in a little more than six months places it, as the Librarian remarks, among the larger reading rooms. While this would seem to fully justify its establisliment, it is to be remembered that, as shown in, the Librarian's report, very nearly seventy per cent, of the circu- lation for home use from the ten branches during the past two years has been fiction, and that the percentage of fiction taken for home use from the reading rooms is even a little greater. This includes juvenile books classed as fiction, the percentage of fiction for adults issued from the branches being 36.40. This can hardly be considered a satisfactory condi-

tion. Nevertheless it should be borne in mind that it leaves out of account the extensive use of books within the build- ings, which is constantly increasing, and which, except, per- haps, in the case of children, is mainly for more serious purposes than the reading of fiction usually indicates. Still the time will come when the question will be raised whether so large an expense for fiction is justified. Thinking people have lost faith in the shibboleth, much in vogue a generation ago, that the habit of reading poor, not to say trashy, books will breed a longing for something better. The Trustees are able to say that great care has been given to the choosing of books, and that of late years the average merit of those taken by the Library has risen decidedly. The list of additions to the Library in the Librarian's report deserves special atten- tion. It is very gratifying to note that the total number of accessions exceeds that of the preceding year by 3,901 vol- umes. This increase is due chieflj^ to purchase, the number of books bought exceeding that of the year before by 3,883.
The Library has suffered a great loss by the sudden death on February 9, 1906, of Mr. Edward B. Hunt, who became head of the Catalogue Department in 1899. He was most efficient and respected in his department, of which he became the head after a long apprenticeship. Although they regret his loss, the Trustees are glad to feel that his place has been satisfactorily filled by the promotion of Mr. S. A. Chevalier, formerly the first assistant. Indeed, the Trustees can con- gratulate the public as wxU as themselves on the efficiency of the several heads of departments.
During the year many repairs have been made both in the central and the branch library buildings which have been needed to preserve and to increase their usefulness.
Among the various efforts made by the Library to co-operate with educational forces, that in connection with the Lowell Lectures should be alluded to, since more time and thought is given to it year by year ; principally by facilitating the circulation of suitable books of reference.
As more fully referred to in our last Annual Report, the transfer of medical books from the Central Library to the Boston Medical Library (which in as far as these books are concerned is to be looked upon as a station of the Public Library) is progressing, but is by no means completed. The question of determining just what constitutes a medical book is not always easy. It is the policy of the Trustees to ransfer such books as are in the special province of those practising and studying medicine, and to retain in the Cen-
4 City Document No. 25.
tral Library works on hygiene, sanitation, hospital construc- tion and science which, though valuable to the physician, should be kept for the use of those of other professions.
For detailed information as to the operation of the Library the Trustees recommend the study of the Librarian's report.
The Examining Committee for 1906-07 was composed as follows :
Kev. Daniel Merriman, D. D.
Chairman^ Mrs. Henry S. King,
Secretary^ Mr. Thomas H. Austin, Mr. John D. Berran, Mr. James B. Connolly, Mr. Lam-ence Curtis, Mrs. P. O'Meara Edson, Rev. F. J. Halloran, Mrs. Pinckney Holbrook, Mr. Henry Lewis Johnson,
Rev. Alexander Mann, D. D., Miss Caroline Matthews, Hon. Arthur Maxwell, Mr. Thomas Minns, Mr. Robert Lincoln O'Brien, Mrs. William Parmelee, Dr. WilUam H. Ruddick, Mrs. Walter Shaw, Rev. Eugene R. Shippen, Mr. Frederic E. Snow, Rev. Joseph V. Tracy, D. D. Rev. Elwood Worcester, D. D.
The membership of the sub-committees into which the body was divided apj)ears in the report of the committee, which as usual is published hereinafter. The Trustees cor- dially recommend tlie study of this interesting document. The committee complains that " a large proportion of its members had paid no attention to their appointment, had attended none of the meetings, either of the general or sub- committees, and had done no work whatever." The report says that " several suggestions were made at various times that some steps should be taken in the future by the Trus- tees to secure a better attendance to their duties on the part of the members of the Examining Committee." It is the custom of the Trustees to reappoint for a second year mem- bers who have served but once. Thus the committee is composed of two classes, those who are serving for the first time and those who are serving for the second. This year no member of the committee wlio has not attended a single meeting has been reappointed for 1907-8. This is as far as this Board can go.
It has sometimes been thought that the suggestions of the Examining Committee have not received from the Trustees the consideration they deserved. Nothing could be more natural than such an idea. It is to be remembered, however, that of the recommendations of examining committees some relate to questions of policy in library management concerning which, there may be diverse opinions, and if the opinion of the Board
Library Department. 5
is not that of the Examining Committee, it is both just and proper that the Board should adhere to the course it believes to be right. Again, it is to be expected that a committee should make various recommendations which are not acted upon because of expense, or because the change would inter- fere with important considerations, or because the Board may believe that other reforms should take precedence. Finally, a committee which is not charged with the carrying out of its recommendations may very easily underestimate the disturb- ance of existing conditions that some changes might occasion. For these and other reasons it is not surprising that many recommendations, some of them of much merit, come to naught. Probably it always will be so; but the Trustees would take this opportunity to express their high apprecia- tion of the spirit which induces so many very busy men and women to serve their fellow citizens by devoting their time to the interests of the Libi'ary.
A very important event occurred in June, 1906, when the American Medical Association met in Boston for the first time in thirty years, bringing together many thousand intelli- gent and progressive men and women from all parts of the country. Recognizing that the Public Library of Boston is one of the first institutions such a gathering would wish to see, the Trustees made every effort to do justice to the occa- sion. For several days guides conducted parties of visitors over the building every hour daring the day. There was an exhibition of a very interesting and valuable collection of engravings and photographs of distinguished physicians and surgeons and of pictures of medical scenes. Many of these were loaned for the occasion. On the evening of June 5, a reception was given by the Trustees to the members of the Association and to their families to meet his Honor the Mayor. The reception was most agreeable. The attendance surpassed that of any previous gathering in the Libraiy. The guests seemed more than pleased. The Trustees were very cordially and efficiently supported in this undertaking by Mayor Fitzgerald.

LIBRARIAN'S REPORT.
To the Board of Trustees :
The report of tlie Librarian for the year ending January 31, 1907, is hereby submitted :
The Library System.
The library system includes :
The Central Lijarary on Copley Square.
Ten branch libraries with permanent collections of books.
Seventeen delivery stations (all but one of which are reading rooms), and also as places of deposit or delivery, forty-four engine houses, twenty-seven institutions and ninety-six public and parochial schools. The total number of agencies through which the circulation of books is provided is, as will be seen, one hundred and ninety-four, as compared with one hundred and ninety-nine in 1905-06. The decrease is entirely in the list of subsidiary agencies (places of dei30sit, etc.), which vary in number from year to year.
One important new reading room has been established during the year, namely, the City Point Reading Room, located at 617 Broadway, opened for service July 18.
Finance.
A record of the receipts and payments for the year is to be found in the statement of the Library Auditor (Appendix I.)
Buildings, Equipment and General Administration.
The usual routine repairs have been made as required to maintain in good order the extensive engineering plant at the Central Library. There have been no accidents or breaks interfering with the permanent and effective operation of the engines and dynamos. The boilers and motors are in good order. A five-horse power motor has been installed in the carpenter shop, replacing one of two-horse power, a change made necessary by an increase in the capacity of the wood- working machinery employed.
LiBEARY Department. 7
Repairs have been made as needed upon the system of piping, in general, and additional piping has been put in to extend the vacuum cleaning apparatus to parts of the build- ing not covered by the original installation. The electric and hydraulic elevators have been maintained in good order, and are regularly inspected. The consumption of fuel at the Central building has been substantially the same as for the preceding year ; 1,600 tons of coal were burned, as against 1,650 tons received.
Improvements in Lighting.
During the year 50 additional electric lamps have been installed at the Central Library ; and various improvements effected by means of refjectors put in place. In the Cata- logue Department, increased light has been provided by means of lamps encircling the five columns in the centre of the room.
General Repairs.
The following general repairs have been carried out at the Central building :
The Periodical Room (No. 1) has been repainted, and a book elevator installed ; the tile roofing of the building has been extensively repaired, including the replacement of 246 tiles which were broken or cracked ; and repairs have been made to obviate leaks on the roof of the courtyard arcade.
Repairs and Improvements at Branches.
A considerable amount of new furniture has been pur- chased for the branches and reading rooms, including new bookcases at the Brighton and West Roxbury Branches and at Upham's Corner. Entirely new plumbing has been installed by the Public Buildings Department at the East Boston and Jamaica Plain Branches, and this Department has also made repairs upon the roof and upon the plumbing, and has repainted the interior at Station A (Dorchester Lower Mills), and painted the interior at Dorchester Branch. We have uncased and reset the radiators at the West End Branch, a needed improvement, and have installed a low pressure heating boiler, and a large hot water supply boiler, with other plumbing improvements at the South End Branch. At Station F (Mount Bowdoin), our landlord has made cer- tain necessary repairs and provided a new sidewalk and fence. Ventilators and a glass screen to shut out draughts have been provided at Station G (Allston). Extensive repairs have been made at the Roxbury Branch by the Trustees of the
8 City Document No. 25.
Fellowes Athenaeum. Several additional fire extinguishers have been placed at branches and stations. Wooden tablets of uniform design and lettering have been placed outside the reading rooms, displaying the hours of opening and closing.
Lost and Missing Books.
At the Central Library during the year 907 books have been recorded as missing. Of these, 221 were missing from or through the Children's Room, and 228 from or through the collection used for the deposit stations. From the general stacks, apart from fiction, only 143 were missing. Of the fiction collection at the Central Library 139 volumes were missing, from the open shelves of new books exposed in Bates Hall 42, and the Bates Hall open-shelf reference collection showed a loss of 67. On the other hand, of the stack books drawn for hall use in Bates Hall only 16 were reported as missing.
At the branches and reading rooms 719 volumes were recorded as missing from the open shelves and only 53 from closed shelves. The number missing from the open shelves at the branches was less by 124 than for the preceding year.' But the number missing at the reading rooms showed an increase, there being 196 volumes lost from the permanent collections, as against 103 missed during the preceding year, and 225 volumes were lost from books deposited at these rooms, as against 210 for the year 1905-1906. As will be seen, 1,140 volumes, in the aggregate, were reported as miss- ing .through the branches and reading rooms outside the Central Library.
Each year a considerable number of the books reported as missing in a previous year re-appear at the Central Library or at one of the branches or reading rooms. They are usually returned as surreptitiously as they were taken away. For example, of books previously missed at the Central Library, 240 were returned in 1902; 389 in 1903 ; 336 in 1904 ; 304 in 1905 ; and 251 in 1906, At the branches, where the open shelf privileges are more general, the results are not nearly so favorable, only a small part of the missing books ever being found.
FrOx-n what has been said it will be plain that the exposure of books upon the oj)en shelves, and their use without much restriction, results in a considerable loss, part of which is temporary, in a. library used by the mixed population of a great city. Careful examination of the figures cited indicates also that the books taken are principally of the cheaper sort.
Library Department. 9
that many of them are books taken by children, and that in numerous instances they are taken not primarily by tlieft, but through informal or irregular borrowing, in disregard of the proper rules relating to charging upon a library card. It is also clear, from our experience, that many books taken from the open shelves, no doubt with the intention of returning them, never are returned ; probably being thrown aside or for- gotten by the irresponsible persons who took them.
There seems to be no reason for modifying the opinion expressed in previous reports. Unquestionably the open- shelf system, toward which public libraries have moved dur- ing the last ten years, is of great public benefit and convenience. That it promotes the use of books no one can doubt. It must be admitted, however, that there are serious evils attending it unless it is carefully guarded. If the missing books involved merely pecuniaiy loss the matter would not be of much importance. The expense might be charged to profit and loss, and considered justifiable in view of the advantages derived. But if books may be taken without observance of rules, made for the benefit of the Library patrons no less than for the convenience of adminis- tration, and returned or not, as those who take them may decide, a tendency towards demoralization is at once estab- lished, affecting particularly the young. This is far more serious than the money loss involved.
Recently we have put in operation at certain branches and reading rooms a system which contemplates the continu- ance of reasonable open-shelf privileges, guarded, however, so as to supervise and control more closely the young persons who use them. The essential points in this system are the following: A library card or other ticket of identifi- cation must be presented at the custodian's desk before access to the children's shelves is granted ; persons under eighteen years of age must conform to the same requirement before being admitted to the shelves containing non-fiction for adults ; no one under eighteen years of age is permitted to have free access to shelves containing fiction for adults.
Obviously, these rules put the younger patrons of the Library under certain restraint as to the open-shelf privi- leges. But the restraint is of a kind that invoh^es no great hardship, while at least permitting the custodians to scan more closely those who are admitted to the shelves. It is expected that the slight formality required in the presenta- tion of a card at the desk will operate as a deterrent to the irresponsible visitor. The plan remains an experiment at present, but, so far as tried, it promises improvement. An ,
10 City Document No. 25.
incidental result is the maintenance of better order than formerly in some of the more crowded children's rooms. Where the plan has been tried for a considerable period the custodians report that this is a result, and that the serious use of the books is promoted ; also that tlie library card has apparently acquired an increased value. The card holders feel their responsibility more deeply. The invasion of tlie rooms by irresponsible groups, who come for mischief only, has ceased.* A change in the rules relating to children's fines, hereafter mentioned, also bears upon the matter of loss of books from the cldldren's open shelves.
Modification of Rules Relating to Children's
Fines.
Under the rules heretofore in force, the non-payment of fines levied whenever books were not returned withici the prescribed time deprived the delinquent of library privileges. As to adults, this rule, which is usual in all public libraries, does not seem unreasonable. With respect to children, how- ever, who generally depend upon others for the payment of the fines, in many instances thoughtlessly incurred, condi- tions appeared which it was desirable to remedy.
Since no limit was set to the deprivation of privileges, except by the payment of the fine, large numbers of children became permanently debarred from the use of the Library. The difficulty was increased on account of the fact that fines, small in amount at first, due from children who were not able themselves to pay and who were often ujiwilling to ask their parents for the money, or who did not fully appre- ciate the state of the case or the effect of the rule, would run to amounts so large that payment involved a burden greater than the parents were willing to assume.
The Library has in recent years made a determined effort to attract children within its influence. The work it is doing and hopes to do with children is of the largest importance. Manifestly a rule that operated to discourage or prevent the use of the Library by children required modification. The purpose of the fine was to secure prompt return of books taken by one borrower in order that others might enjoy the privilege of using them. In the majority of cases the knowl- edge that a fine will otherwise be incurred is sufficient to secure regular observance of a rule, without which equal privileges cannot be extended to. all.
In order to establish a penalty which children can under- stand, and which is expected to secure the result aimed at in
Library Department. 11
the fining system, without permanently excluding children from the Library, the rule as to fines has been modified so that all fines incurred by persons who are under sixteen years of age at the time the fine begins to run shall be cancelled at the end of six months. This, in the case of childj-en under sixteen years of age, substitutes deprivation of the use of a library card, during a fixed term of six months, for the pay- ment of a fine in money. If the delinquent prefers, the fine can be paid in money, as before, at any time within the six months, and the card will then be at once returned to the person in whose name it is issued.
This change in the rule as to children's fines is expected to have an indirect effect in diminishing the loss of books from the open shelves. Under the old rule, a boy or girl who had incurred a fine which remained unpaid, and thereby lost the use of a library card, could easily abstract a book from the open shelves without the formality of having it charged. The fact that the library card was permanently withheld unless the fine was paid put before the delinquent a strong temptation to secure a book in an unauthorized way. If obtained once without detection, the act was repeated, dis- regard of rule became chronic, and the scheme was easily communicated to others. Since it is now known that after an interval the card will be returned, the temptation is weak- ened, and it is probable that fewer books will be taken with- out having them charged.
Since the change in the rule, many children who had lost the use of cards through the non-payment of fines have- reclaimed them. At one large Branch, 115 cards were thus re-issued within a single month. The unpaid fines on these amounted to $36.09, but much of this would probably never have been paid. In this one instance there were 116 young persons deprived of the home use of books without limit, unless they yielded to the temptation to obtain them irregu- larly from the open shelves.
Books Received.
In continuation of our regular routine, all important American, English and Continental catalogues and publish- ers' lists ha,ve been carefully scanned, and the Library has been represented at the leading auction sales of the year. Accessions from these sources and by gift include many important works, apart from current publications, which properly find a place in a Library like ours, and which materially enhance the value of our collections to scholars as well as to the general reader.
12 City Document No. 25.
The work of catalogue examination must be performed with discrimination, and with knowledge not only of the departments of literature covered, but of what this Library already contains. In making selections for purchase a shrewd knowledge of values is frequently needed, especially as relates to rare books and early imprints. The routine work involves much drudgery, and the care with which it has been performed by the various members of the staff to whom it is entrusted deserves appreciative acknowledgment here.
Mr. James L. Whitney has continued his esj^ecial oversight of the current American and English lists. Auction sale catalogues of rare books, and those covering certain special departments of literature, have been examined by Mr. Fleischner, the Assistant Librarian ; Dr. Muss-Arnolt has devoted particular attention to foreign lists and reviews; Mr. Murdoch has covered the catalogues, lists and reviews of scientific books ; Mr. Bierstadt of the Reference Department, Mr. Ward of the Branch Department, Mr. Maiers of the Ordering Department, and others of the regular force have been of great assistance ; and the experience and knowledge ot Miss Macurdy, Chief of the Ordering Department, have lu no slight degree aided the administration in the important work of selection and purchase.
As in previous years, all important books currently pub- lished in this country have been submitted to the Library for direct examination as they have come from the press. These, as well as the results of the preliminary examination of cata- logues by members of the staff, have passed under the review of the Librarian, and, as usual, the selections have finally been submitted to a voluntary committee of the Trustees, the perfected lists coming for approval or rejection, in whole or in part, to the full Board each week.
The results for the year of this careful system of selection and purchase are shown in the following statistical statement, which also shows the accessions by gift and exchange :

The total accessions as exhibited in the foregoing state- ment aggregate 37,452 volumes, as against 33,551 in 1905-06.
ENGLISH PROSE FICTION.
Continuing the policy established in previous years, the purchase of fiction has been restricted within conservative lines. Substantially all new publications in fiction have been carefully examined, however, and selections made up to the limit permitted by the established standard.
The total number of new books considered was 715. Of these, 167 titles were selected for purchase, and 1,662 copies bought. Replacements of fiction already on our catalogue, and the supplying of additional copies, have required the purchase of 4,810 volumes.
Expressed in terms of percentage, the expenditure for fie-" tion, including new purchases, replacements and additional copies, amounted to 14.48 per cent, of all book expenditure, as against 18.65 per cent, in 1905-06 and 20.21 per cent, in 1904-05. The somewhat smaller relative expenditure for fiction, shown in this comparison, is due to the fact that much of the larger aggregate expenditure for the year was neces- sarily devoted to the standard reference books required in the newer reading rooms.
The following detailed account of the accessions of [the year is from the report of Miss Theodosia E. Macurdy, Chief of the Ordering Department :

REVIEW OF PURCHASES, 1906-07.
There have been bought this year 23,494 volumes, ex- ceeding by 3,901 the number bought in 1905-06. From the wide range of subjects covered by these accessions some of the more important will be noted.
AMERICANA.
No very striking collections of Americana have been sold at auction, and much of the material obtained, relating to colonial and revolutionary affairs, has been found in the catalogues of foreign booksellers.
The Department of Colonial History has been strengthened by a few works of high importance, rather than numerically ; among the accessions being Bullock's Virginia Impartially examined and left to publick view . . . London, 1649, " a guide for prospective settlers and abounding with details of the Colony of the highest value and interest," and Durell's A particular account of the taking of Cape Breton from the French, by Admiral Warren and Sir William Pepperell, the 17th of June;" 1745 . . . London, 1745,
t As against $42,194.57 in 1905-06.
Library Department. 15
From the sale of the Library of Sir John Bourinot were obtained a number of works relating to the Campaigns of the French and Indian Wars, the Hudson Bay Claims and the Huguenots in Canada, including Du Calvet, P. Appel a la Justice . . . London, 1784 ; Massie, J. An historical account of the naval power of France ... to which is added a narra- tive of the French at New Foundland from the reign of King Charles . . . London, 1762; and a complete set of the Collection des Manuscripts du Mardschal de L^vis, in 12 volumes. Quebec, 1885-95.
NEWSPAPERS.
The Eighteenth Century newspapers have not received as •many accessions as usual, doubtless owing in part to the fact that great gains have been made on our deficiencies since 1900. About 350 numbers in all were added, of which 62 were to the file of the Boston Weekly Post Bo}^ 93 to the Boston Evening Post, 1 to the Boston Gazette (the number, containing the Boston Port Bill, May 14, 1774), 26 to the Boston Weekly News Letter (of which 20 were published before 1750), 1 to the New England Chronicle and 80 to the Pennsylvania Gazette, including the postscript issue of De- cember 24, 1773, containing the account of the Boston Tea Party, the first news of that event published in Philadelphia.
PERIODICALS.
On the other hand, a larger number than usual of periodi- cals published in the United States from 1793-1850 have been secured, including many complete sets of short-lived serials, of which The Thespian Oracle, Philadelphia, 1798, the first American theatrical magazine, may serve as an example.
The file of the Massachusetts Magazine has been completed with the exception of four numbers, 3, 9, 11 and 12 of Volume 8, 1796, and the files of the early Almanacs are also beginning to show the result of persistent* attention. Low's, for instance, now lacks but two years, 1766 and the last issue for 1827. In this connection, the earliest Almanac acquired was John Tulley's, published in Boston, for the year 1698.
BROADSIDES.
Two of the more important Broadsides, selected from the 35 purchased, are noted as follows : (1) Massachusetts. In the House of Representatives, September 17, 1776. Whereas doubts may arise in the minds of some of the good people of this State, who are willing to go out at this important junc-

Whereas the hostile forces of Great Britain . . . exerted their powers in the destruction of the town of Charlestown . . . and has rendered them unable to build a House for the public worship of God . . . Boston, 1782. John Hancock.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Prominent among the purchases of interest was the acquisition of 39 volumes of material relating to the Boston Fire Department and fires in Boston from 1824-28, 1864-87, including 5 volumes of manuscript records kept by the late John S. Damrell ; 14 volumes of the International Library of Technology ; 41 volumes of the Zeitschrift fiir Mathematik u. Physik, for the Bowditch Library, completing the set ; 10 volumes of the Ashbee facsimile reprints of the Shakespeare quartos, and 23 volumes of early editions of the separate plays; 82 volumes (complete sets) of the Abhandlungen unci Berichte d. Konig-Sachsischen Gesellschaft der Wissen- schaften. Mathematisch-physische Klasse; 45 volumes of the Publications de L';:^cole d. langues orientales vivantes ; the complete works.of Thoreau in the " manuscript edition " in 20 volumes (for the Artz Collection) ; the complete works of Poe in 17 volumes ; the complete works of Disraeli in 20 volumes ; of Besant and Rice in 18 volumes ; the History of Science by H. S. and E. H. Williams in 5 volumes, and the History of Nations, edited by H. C. Lodge, in 26 volumes.
Among the examples of superior book production acquired by the Library during the year has been the Ashendene Press edition of Dante's Divina Commedia, in 3 volumes, London, 1902-5, perhaps the most beautiful edition of this work ever printed. The text is in old faced type, printed on pure vellum throughout and illustrated with wood engravings, copied by W. Hooper and C. Keates from the Venice edition of 1491, with illuminated initials. Bound in imp green vellum.
Other examples are the Song of Roland, translated from the French by Isabel Butler, Boston, 1906, a folio edition with colored illustrations taken from Charlemagne's window in Chartres Cathedral ; The Triumph of Petrarch, translated by Henry Boyd with an introduction by Guido Biagi, Boston, 1906, folio edition with plates in facsimile of 15th century
Library Department. 17
engravings in the British Museum, printed in humanistic type ; and the volumes, as far as issued, published by the Merrymount Press in the Humanists' Library, a series of books "each one . . . characteristic of some aspect of the culture which flourished in Western Europe during the period of the Renaissance."
Additions of note have also been made to the Civil War literature in the 20th Regiment Collection ; to the collection of Chapbooks, and to the history and literature of the Nether- lands. To the collection of fine arts the accessions have been mainly current publications of which a partial list is. given. A list is also given of a number of single works on various subjects to which more than ordinary interest attaches.

PHOTOGRAPHS.
There were purchased 1,717 photographs, including 167 color prints of buildings and scenery in the LTnited States. In the collection were 241 photographs of historic houses, principally in Massachusetts, 62 of Alaskan scenery, and 21 of the newly discovered petrified forests of Arizona.
The gifts of photographs numbered 513, and the largest and most important collection given was that presented by the Woman's Education Association of 216 mounted pictures of New Zealand and Australia.
AUCTION SALES.
The records of auctions show 80 sales in which the Library placed bids, or 26 more than in 1905-6. The amount of money authorized to be expended was $6,788.39; the amount actually expended was $2,973.28. The number of titles bid for was 956 ; the number secured was 666, or 69 per cent., comprising 1,777 volumes. In nearly all of the Boston sales the Library was personally represented.
ACCESSIONS AT BRANCHES AND STATIONS.
To the Branches and Stations a total of 9,981 volumes was added. Eliminating certain special purchases for reading rooms hereafter mentioned, the branch accessions fall behind their last year's total by 169 volumes, due in great part to the reduction of replacements of fiction, which reached an aggregate of 1,978 volumes (120 additional copies, 1,858 replacements) as against 3,676 last year. There were also added 901 volumes of current fiction, making in all 2,882 volumes.
Eight hundred and seventy-five volumes of carefully selected works of popular interest, including some necessary books of reference, 281 volumes of fiction, also 14 periodi-
22 City Document No. 25.
cals, were placed in the new reading room in South Boston.
There was also a special purchase made of encyclopaedias, dictionaries, histories, etc., for other reading rooms. Another special outlay was $150 for new books for Station Q at Upham's Corner, and Station J at Codman Square. These accessions made the station collections approach more nearly to uniformity, and will doubtless tend largely to increase their usefulness.
The newspaper list has been enlarged by 30 new subscrip- tions, 19 of which were for papers published in the United States and 11 foreign.
Gifts for 1906-07.
The number of givers was 3,861. For the preceding yearr 1905-06, the number was 3,570, or 291 less than this year- The gifts comprise 12,486 volumes, 20,182 serials, 83 news- paper subsciptions, 513 photographs, 296 broadsides, 38 manu- scripts, 605 maps, 35 posters, 1 medal, and 7 miscellaneous items. It is a pleasure to record a larger number than usual of genealogies presented to the Library, also that requests for gifts of books have met with generous response.
A selected list of the more important gifts is given as follows :

The Catalogue Department.
J\Ir. Edward B. Hunt, Chief of the Catalogue Department since February 1, 1900, died suddenly February 9, 1906.
Mr. Hunt entered the Library service June 1, 1883, as an assistant in the Catalogue Department. By successive pro- motions he served in important positions in the Department, finally becoming its Chief on February 1, 1900. His entire service covered 22 years 8 months and 9 daj^s.
His natural qualifications for the important work entrusted to him, his literary attainments, and his exact and scholarl}^ methods, developed through years of experience, made him one of the most valuable members of our staff.
Mr. Hunt was born in Sudbury, Massachusetts, on Feb- ruary 19, 1855. After passing through the public schools of that town he entered tlie Boston Latin School, and later Harvard College, graduating thence in the Class of 1878, with the degree of A. B., and honors in the classics.
On account of trouble with his eyes, he lost his annual examinations in his sophomore year, and in consequence was forced to pass them all during his junior year. This fact prevented his being chosen for Phi Beta Kappa. During the last two years of his course liis rank was in the first third of the class.

After graduating, from 1878 to 1881, he was an instructor in the classics, mathematics and English at a private school in Newburyport, Massachusetts. Later he became tutor to the son of Hon. R. J. C. Walker, of Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and afterward served Mr. Walker as his private secretary in Washington.
He married, 1899, Miss Alice Browne, of Dedham, wha survives him.
Mr. S. A. Chevalier, first assistant, succeeded Mr. Hunt as Chief, and other service changes and readjastments of work were required. From a report presented by the Chief, the following statistical and textual summary is condensed :

continuously carried forward until completed. New cabinets containing 312 trays have been placed in position in the Bates Hall Catalogue room, and the entire catalogue re-arranged and the trays re-labelled.
The re-cataloguing and re-classifying of our entire col- lection of Massachusetts laws and legislative documents, alluded to last year, has been completed, except as to a few volumes temporarily inaccessible.
The sets of Colonial laws have been collated and pre- pared for the bindery. This collection of Colonial laws was at the same time catalogued, and is now for the first time represented b}^ printed catalogue cards giving accurate descriptions of the volumes.
The increasing use of the card catalogue demands an enlarged amount of work to replace soiled and damaged cards. During the year, as this replacement has gone for- ward, some of the catalogue headings have been revised and reprinted. ]\Iany new guide cards have been made for the convenience of the public, and many subjects which had become over-grown in respect to the number of titles repre- sented have been more minutely classified.
A list of books in modern Greek contained in the Library has been prepared for printing ; and also a manuscript list of the Hebrew and Judai'o-German works.

Children's Department. — Central Library.
Miss Alice M. Jordan, Custodian of the Children's Depart- ment, has presented a report from which the following extracts are taken :
The work in this department has followed the usual lines of direction of reading, assistance in looking up school sub- jects, lessons to classes, visiting schools, and advisory counsel in the choice of books for schools, small libraries and homes. The aim of all these activities is to place good books within the reach of children.
ISSUE.
The issue of books to borrowers applying in the rooms at the Central Library was not so large as in the years imme- diately preceding, but this has permitted a better opportunity to be personally helpful to individuals. Direct issue for the year was 51,373 ; the year previous it was 58,583. Through the Branch Department 17,262 books have been sent b\^ the daily delivery to boiTowers, making a total circulation of 75,795 from the children's rooms at the Central Library, as compared with 73,737 in 1905-06. In addition about 500 volumes were sent by the Branch Department to vacation schools, home libraries, and to supplement the ordinary school deposits.
REFERENCE WORK.
There has been a satisfactory increase in the use of the reference collection. Although the text-book collection requiies, and will ultimately receive new editions to replace old ones, it is much used by teachers and pupils. A better quality of reference work is noticeable, due in part, perhaps, to the instruction given classes from the schools, which has now continued for five years. During 1906 about 800 pupils have been instructed in this manner. This number includes some students, not children, who expect to become teachers later. Such pupils are the more appreciative because their need to use the Library in their future work as teachers makes the knowledge of its resources of obvious import- ance.
SCHOOLS.
The relations of the Children's Department and the pub- lic schools are cordial, and co-operation is promoted by visit- ing and meeting teachers and pupils in the school room. It
32 City Document No. 25.
has also been possible for the custodian to meet with two of the new associations of parents connected with certain school districts and bring to their notice the provision made for chil- dren by the Library.
As productive of a closer union of interests an exhibition of pupils' work in hand-loom weaving was shown in the Chil- dren's Room in June. Eight schools contributed examples of this handiwork, which for the first time had formed a part of the course in manual training. The exhibition was stimu- lating to the children and attracted equally the attention of adult visitors.
LISTS.
A new departure has been made this year in the prepara- tion by this Deparment of book lists on special subjects for publication in the Monthly Bulletin. Two sucli lists were completed, one of books on gardening, the other containing titles of educational books. The first one was also printed in separate leaflet form in the spring. It was designed to fur- nish children who had started home gardens with the names of simple books giving practical instruction to amateurs. It has been used to advantage by clubs and settlements and vacation schools. The preparation of the second list was undertaken with the help of teachers in different kinder- garten training schools, who for several years have made ac- tive use of the reference collection of books on education and child study. This list is proving a great convenience to the many students of kindergarten subjects who use the Library. Two short lists of books for school use, on Washington and Lincoln , were also made and duplicated for distribution in branches and reading rooms.
PICTURES.
In connection with the gardening lists, pictures were pre- pared and supplied to clubs and social centres. There has also been a continuation of the practice of providing teachers with pictures illustrating industries and trades, or material to be used in teaching history and geography. Requests for such pictures are in excess of the supply.
Bates Hall.
The number of readers who during the year use the reading tables in Bates Hall has not diminished. During the month of January, when the severest weather conditions prevailed, a count of call slips showed that 27,257 volumes were brought from the stacks to the Hall, and the unrecorded use of refer-
Library Department. 33
ence books taken from the open shelves undoubtedly increased the number of volumes in use to fully 50,000. The enlarged freedom of access to the shelves makes it impossible to give a complete statement of the books consulted, but an indica- tion of the extensive use of the Bates Hall facilities is shown in the fact that 730,000 call slips have been required during the year, 440,000 for hall use and the others for home use. The maximum attendance at any one time was recorded at four o'clock P.M., December 16, at which hour 325 readers were present. In one month only has the maximum attend- ance fallen below 100, namely during August.
The Special Libraries.
THE FINE arts DEPARTMENT.
Photographs.
The following additions have been made to the photograph collections, in the Fine Arts Department: 498 photographs; 109 process pictures; 834 colored photographs.
Of the photographs, 331 are of pictures in the Berlin Pic- ture Gallery, so that we have now a very good representation of that collection.
A large addition has been made to the collection of colored photographs. These are in great demand for circulation among schools, and the very large increase in circulation of pictures is undoubtedly due to this addition to our resources. Among the pictures added are nearly 200 photographs of types of people and a very full set of views of Austria-Hun- gary. The total number of photographs now shelf-listed is 18,274; of process pictures 7,420; colored photographs 1,854.
The figures above given do not include 849 photographs which have not been added to the regular collections, but which are to be kept in portfolios and located on shelf numbers. Among these are 246 photographs of Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand, given by the Woman's Education Association ; 97 pictures of Japan and China ; 242 pictures of Historic Houses in New England ; 102 views of Alaska, New Mexico, Arizona and California. Fifty-one portraits have been added to the portrait collection.
Lantern Slides.
During the year 820 lantern slides were added, making the entire collection now number 1,830. In the summer a large number of slides of Italian p'aintings were purchased. The others were made to illustrate the public lectures.
34 City Document No. 25.
Circulation of Boohs.
The total number of books issued for home use from the Fine Arts Department for the year was 15,785. Of these 10,005 were issued from the desk in the Fine Arts Depart- ment, the remainder through other departments.
The largest number of books were issued in January, when 1,891 were charged ; the smallest number in June, when there were 814 issued.
The Use of Books in the Department.
No record has been kept of the number of books issued for hall use, but tlie attendance has been laige and the tables reserved for the Art schools have been well filled and their students have made a large use of books.
Catalogues, Etc.
A very large number of new catalogue cards has been filed, and the entire catalogue has been shifted so that all the empty drawers which had been reserved for growth are now in use. The indexing of important articles in the current magazines has been continued as last year.
The cataloguing of photographs and process pictures of sculpture has been completed by artists and subjects, and a beginning has been made of cataloguing the sculpture plates in illustrated books and portfolios, as has already been done in the case of painting.
As last year, there was a thorough reading of the shelf list of photographs and process pictures during the summer.
Circulation of Portfolios.
The comparative tables of the circulation of pictures show that there has been a gain of 77 per cent, over all previous years in the total circulation.
Of pictures in portfolios loaned to public schools there was a gain of 229, as compared with tliose sent out in 1905-06, which was at that time the largest number ever issued.
Portfolios were borrowed by 77 public schools, as against 57 in 1905-06. Certain schools have received a large num- ber of portfolios, it appearing that of the 493 issued more than half were sent to 14 schools. Sixteen schools have received portfolios which never requested Any before. On the other hand, 25 schools which borrowed portfolios in
Library Department. 35
previous years have not done so this year. There has also been a large increase over all other years in the number of portfolios issued to clubs.
Visits of Classes.
As in past years the lecture hall and the west gallery in the Fine Arts Department have been used by schools, clubs and classes for regularly appointed meetings. A record of the visits has been kept, and in the attendance of schools there has been an increase of 572 persons over the preced- ing year, of clubs an increase of 214, and in the attendance of private classes a decrease of 542.
Besides these, regular study tables have been reserved throughout the year for the Massachusetts Normal Art School, the Museum School of Design and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and for certain periods of time for the Evening Drawing School, classes from Wellesley College, Simmons College, Miss Sacker's School and the Emeison School of Oratory.

36 City Document No. 25.
illumination of books was held in the Barton-Ticknor in February, 1906. IVIanuscripts, excluding those illuminated, have been transferred to the MSS. Room. The Barton cata- logue has been supplied with approximately 3,000 guide cards.
Cabinets kept in the Barton have been heretofore cata- logued in the Fine Arts catalogue only, an arrangement causing much inconvenience to Barton readers. Such cards as are already in the Fine Arts catalogue are being copied for the Barton, and new sets are now regularly sent here by the Catalogue Department.
ALLEN A. BROWN MUSIC ROOM.
Of the volumes added to this collection 194 were given by Mr. Brown, and 11 came from other sources.
Among the important orchestral scores received may be noted Nicorde's Gloria, Loeffler's Villanelle de Diable, Mahler's Sixth Symphony and Debussy's La Mer ; among the operatic scores, Bizet's Don Procopio, Humperdinck's Heirat wider Willen, Jacques-Dalcroze's Bonhomme Jadis and Massenet's Ariane.
The work of comparing the Fine Arts catalogue with the Brown catalogue has been continued from "Music" through " Songs with Music, T." Cards in the Fine Arts catalogue not previously entered in the Brown catalogue have been copied and filed in the latter. Cards in the Brown catalogue with Fine Arts numbers, but not entered in the Fine Arts catalogue, have been copied and filed in the latter as far as " Songs with Music, A."

circulation.
The total circulation for the branch system, including that through the Central Library and from schools and institu- tions, is 1,188,856 volumes, as against 1,210,498 volumes in the year preceding. There is a loss, therefore, of one and seven-tenths per cent. The branches show a loss of three per cent., but the stations, schools and institutions the slight gain of three-tenths of one per cent. Every branch but West End has lost in circulation. The loss of over 10,000

volumes at the South Boston Branch is to some extent accounted for by the establishment of the City Point Read- ing Room. The combined circulation of the South Boston Branch and the new reading room is, however, many thou- sands of volumes greater than the circulation of the branch alone for the preceding year.
The classified circulation of ten branches for two years is as follows :

While there is a loss in all classes, the greatest decrease is in fiction, both juvenile and adult. Fiction forms 69 per cent, of the total.
The proportion of juvenile books of all kinds to the whole issue is 45 per cent.; at the two large reading rooms it is 40 per cent. Now that the Chief of the Registration Depart- ment has for two whole years classified card holders with a dividing line of sixteen years instead of eighteen, as formerly, it is interesting to note that the children who hold cards are a little less than 39 per cent, of the total in both years. Neither the juvenile circulation, however, nor the number of juvenile card holders shows accurately the proportion of chil- dren who draw books from the Library, since children read many books not strictly juvenile, many adults, especially those who are foreign-born, read juvenile books, and many children use a parent's card. But it is probable that the children who take books from the Library number from 40 to 45 per cent, of its constituency.
Only four stations have gained in circulation during the year. These are the new reading rooms, G, Q, R and T. The other new reading room, station J, has nearly held its own, with a circulation of 45,020 volumes.
Since it was only for part of the year 1905-06 that Stations G, J, R and T were maintained as reading rooms, under direct control of the Library staff, the following comparison of the present circujation with that of the year 1904-05 may be interesting :

The circulation of the new City Point Reading Room has been 17,835 volumes for a little over six months. This in- dicates an issue of over 30,000 volumes per year and puts it in the class of large reading rooms.
The percentage of fiction in the issue from the reading rooms is 71.
In individual cases the reason for a loss in circulation is often easily found in a change in the character of the popula- tion. The Custodian of Station S (1151 Tremont street) reports that the most intelligent readers and frequenters of the reading room have moved to better portions of the city, and their places have been filled by uncultured people, some of whom cannot read. In many cases, as has been pointed out before, circulation is affected by the large deposits at the schools. That it is also diminished by a more generous sup- ply of reference books at the reading room is asserted by the Custodian of Station N, who says in her report : " The larger the supply of reference books, the greater is the ten- dency to do the work at the library rather than take the books home."
There is also a close connection between the circulation and the supply of new books. P'or example, the Custodian of the East Boston Branch remarks : " A large portion of the loss in circulation during the year lies in the first nine months, when the accessions averaged 38 a month and the record of direct home use was 7,033 less than for the same period last year. For the last three months the accessions averaged 159 a month and the record of home use was only 76 less than for the same period last year. Thus it will be seen that an increase in the supply of new books (including replacements, which circulate as well as new titles) affects the daily issue immediately."
The Custodian of the South Boston Branch gave the fol- lowing statistics in her report for April last to illustrate the same point : *

At most branches and reading rooms the week day attend- ance either increases or continues good.
The Sunday attendance and circulation of books have been in general satisfactory, though Station G, R and T are used principally for reading, and the issue of books is very small. The City Point Reading Room has been open on Sunday with a large attendance and issue of books.
DEPOSIT WORK.
The total number of volumes sent on deposit from the branches and two reading rooms was 16,792, as against 15,370 the preceding year. This includes deposits from certain branches to neighboring reading rooms and to three institu- tions, but 12,074 volumes, more than two-thirds of the whole, were supplied to the schools. These were sent for the most part in small lots, and their selection and return to the shelves, and the making of the necessary records, involve a very large amount of labor. And this, like some other things, is a comparatively recent addition to the function of the branches, dating only from the year 1899, when six schools were supplied with deposits from branches for the first time. Meanwhile the number of assistants is very little larger.
REFERENCE WORK.
Reference work steadily increases in amount and quality at most of the branches and reading rooms. Though the ordinary adult public ask for comparatively little help of this kind, yet many adults who are studying in the evening schools and at home are glad of assistance, as well as members of study clubs. Many of these clubs use the neighboring branch or reading room to great advantage. Their wants are kept in view when books are bought, and books are sent frequently from the Central Library for their use in response to requests. The largest proportion of reference work, how- ever, is done for the pupils of the grammar and high schools. All through the annual reports for this year of the Custodians of branches and reading rooms are scattered allusions to the increase of this part of the work. As examples I give the following extracts : " We made an especial effort to interest teachers, visiting the school often to see what was needed and to be prepared for topics to be taken up. Our reference department is flourishing ; it seems to be busy most of the time. We have spent much time in helping groups of pupils in the use of reference books, teaching them how to use them to the best advantage." (From the report of the Custodian, Station F.)
44 City Document No. 25.
" Two tables are filled every day after school, from four until six, with pupils requiring help with their lessons." (From the report of the Custodian, Station J.)
" Both afternoon and evening the rooms have been crowded, and much time needs to be spent in keeping order and assisting reference workers. The station is much used for reference and school work." (From the report of the Custodian, Station Z.)
We keep it steadily in mind that the reference work of the branches and reading rooms is perhaps their most im- portant function.
PICTURES.
The lending of pictures from the branch collections to the reading rooms, schools and clubs shows an increase of 101 per cent., 9,749 pictures having been sent out, as against 4,849 the preceding year. These collections of pictures and picture bulletins, which were described at some length in the last annual report of this department, are steadily growing.
Five hundred and eight portfolios of pictures have been sent from the Fine Arts Department this year through the branches and stations to schools, clubs and classes, as com- pared with 194 sent during the preceding year, an increase of 161 per cent.
The monthly exhibitions at the branches and reading rooms of pictures from the Central Library have been appreciated more than ever, as several Custodians report.
The branches and some reading rooms have had also fre- quent exhibitions of their own pictures and picture bulletins. Other reading rooms have exhibited pictures borrowed from branches, from -the Children's Department at the Central Library or from the small deposit collection of pictures, from which 525 were lent this year.
BOOKS.
There have been added to tlie ten branches 2,966 volumes of new books, as against 3,291 in the year preceding and 5,799 in 1904-05. The replacements number only 2,168 volumes, as against 3,456 the year before.
EXPENDITURES.
The cost of the branches and stations, exclusive of sta- tionerv and other supplies, was 191,719.74, an increase of $2,018.30 over 1905-06. The branches, however, have cost only 161,882.70, a decrease of $1,819.13 from the
Library Department. 45
amount spent in 1905-06. The expense for salaries has increased a little, but the cost of nearly all other items, including repairs and furniture, has decreased. Books have cost -11,406.43 less than in 1905-06.
The stations have cost $29,300.69, as against $25,534.62 last year. Nearly $3,000 of this, however, Avas spent on the new City Point Reading Room. The cost of books for the permanent collections of the stations, and of periodicals, was $5,622.42, as compared with $3,854.63 for the preceding year.
The Schools and the Branch Department.
There have been sent on deposit to the schools during the past year from the Central Library and the branches 19,546 volumes, as against 19,092 in 1905.
The number of teachers supplied during the year by the branches and reading rooms was 326, as against only 270 in the preceding year.
Books have been reserved at the branches and reading rooms for the use of schools, on 131 different occasions, the total number of volumes being 1,941.
Circulation in schools, from deposit collections, is estimated to be 75,939 volumes.
The new High School of Commerce is now regularly sup- plied with books from the Roxbury Branch.
The great increase in the number of pictures sent to the schools has been already noted.
The work with evening schools has been systematized as a result of conferences with Mr. Lamprey, the Director of Evening Schools. Registrations for library cards are to. be taken at all such schools, as they have been already taken at some. Deposits of books will be sent as freely as to the day schools, though not for home use. Library books are less essential, however, at the evening schools, and may not be asked for by all masters.
A list of the evening schools has been sent to all the cus- todians, and schools have been assigned to certain branches and reading rooms, as the da}' schools are.
CENTRAL LIBRARY ACTIVITIES BRANCH DEPARTMENT.
Deposit Work. The number of volumes sent on deposit from the Central Library was 34,049, as against 35,262 volumes the preceding year. The decrease is not absolute, however, since the fig- ures for 1905 include a large number of volumes which were
46
City Document No. 25.
returned from certain shop stations that were discontinued, and which were sent out again ahnost immediately to reading rooms newly established in the same districts. With five less stations to supply, the deposit work has been actually larger even with a very small supply of books. On the other hand the daily issue, which can be controlled only indi- rectly by this department, steadily loses.
The percentage of fiction in the books sent on deposit was only 40.7.
Among the new places of deposit are: Civic League House, High School of Commerce, St. John's Seminary, St. John's Parochial School, and four engine houses.
The deposits of seven reading rooms have been enlarged during the year. Many further increases are desirable.
Though for the larger part of the year the deposit collection received few books, and for nearly two years had had very few replacements of books worn out, yet the net gain for the year is 2,290 volumes. This is due to the fact that in November last a large part of the replacements which had been held for consideration were approved and ordered. They will be a factor in the work of the coming year.
The estimated circulation for the year of the books of the deposit collection is 87,337 volumes.
At the annual shelf reading all the volumes but two were accounted for.
Daily Issue.
Only 79,268 volumes have been issued this year from the Central Library on cards, through the Branch Department, as against 89,121 in the preceding year. The classified issue for two vears is as follows :

Since the loss is entirely in fiction, and the issue of non- fiction shows a positive gain, the result is not surprising and not much to be regretted. The percentage of unsuccessful caids is necessarily high, 47.6, and the percentage of fiction in the issue, 63.2, very moderate. The latter percentage was 68.9 in the preceding year.
Library Department. 47
As was the case last year, there is a much greater decline in the issue of books for adults than in juveniles.
A delivery of books to the garrison of Fort Warren, every two weeks, has been established.
Binding. The number of volumes bound for the Branch Depart- ment, including the fiction and juveniles of the Central Library, is as follows :
1906-07. 1905-06.
Books bound in art canvas or half-duck (fiction and juveniles) :

Books bound in Bates Hall style : Branch and station books . . . .2,102 2,127
Of the 5,736 volumes of Central books, 3,352 were from the deposit collection.
For some time past nearly all the branch books in the so-called Bates Hall style have been bound with marbled paper sides instead of full canvas. The canvas, though durable, is unpleasant to handle and absorbs dirt readily. The art can- vas, in which the fiction is bound, is a very unsatisfactory material. As an experiment, books were bound a year ago in linen buckram, in cowhide and in keratol. These books have now been brought together, and we find that either the linen buckram or the cowhide back with keratol sides would be satisfactory.

In this important department we now receive, through arrangements effected with agents in London during the year, the English specifications and drawings, separately, a

soon as issued, instead of waiting until bound volumes are made up. Thus we are now able to supply early information from the English Patent Office. The German patents have for some time been received in this way.
During the year there has been hung in the Patent Room a framed copy of the specification of an English patent, with seal attached, issued to John James Greenough, of Wash- ington, D. C., dated May 3, 1851, for an invention for apply- ing electricity as a motive power for the first time.
The records for the year show that 57,868 books were consulted in the Patent Room, as against 63,078 in 1905-06. The number of persons consulting the books was 2,856, an increase of 619 as compared with the prcAdous year. Of these 1,780 were residents and 1,076 non-residents.

The number of different papers now represented by issues regularly filed is 357, the number added during the year being 49, as against 8 discontinuations. The room is extensively used, especially on Sundays.
The newspaper files were consulted by 2,380 persons during the year, of whom 902 were non-residents. The number of bound volumes consulted was 9,489, as against 6,223 in 1905-06. Additional shelf room has been provided in the Newspaper Filing Room, sufficient to accommodate about 1,500 bound volumes.
We are constantly adding to our files of early Boston papers, such as the News Letter, Boston Gazette, Columbian Sentinel, etc., and thus perfecting our sets as opportunity permits. Several volumes of newspaper clippings relating to Boston fires, collected by the late John S. Damrell, have been received during the year, and may now be found in the News- paper Department.

These figures require explanation in order that the condi- tions reflected by them may not be misunderstood. It is not to be inferred that the use of the Library as a whole is decreasing. The table relates to circulation for home use only, and this constitutes but one element in the activities of the Library. The circulation in Bates Hall, in the Fine Arts Department, the Patent Room, the Children's Rooms, and other reading rooms of the Central Library and at the read- ing tables of the several Branches and Stations, much of it from open shelves, without the filing of call slips, is not recorded, and therefore cannot be shown in figures. This unrecorded circulation is largely for the purpose of study and mental improvement. In making this statement there is no intention of ranking one kind of circulation above another; or of assuming that reading for recreation is to be dis- couraged or that the use of books in the reading rooms is necessarily more important than their use at home. The reading room" circulation is extremely important, however, and is constantly increasing as tlie facilities for it are enlarged. If it could be represented statistically and combined with the 'figures respecting home use, it would no doubt be seen that the use of books in the aggregate is continually gaining.
By reference to the preceding table it will be noted that the circulation through schools and institutions shows an increase, principally due to the enlargement of that valuable part of our work which depends upon co-operation with the educational institutions of the city, public and private ; and, incidentally, although the figures do not appear in the table, it may be stated that, as shown on page 31 ante, the issue from the Children's Rooms at Central, including both direct circula- tion and that through applications received from the branches, has risen from 73,737 to 75,795.
The circulation for home use, which this year shows a decline, is variable, and appears to be affected by factors some of which we may control, others being entirely beyond the influence of the Library administration. We have found that weather conditions affect it. As pointed out in tiie report for 1905—06, protracted inclement weather in- creases the home use of books, but weather such as prevailed during the months of January, February and March, 1906, permitting out-of-door sports and freedom of movement, reduces the number of books drawn from the Library for home reading. This statement applies to the circulation for the first three months of the year covered by the present report.
Library Department.
51
General business activity no doubt affects this circulation. If persons are continuously employed they find less time for reading. This perhaps accounts for part of the decrease of the year, especially as it is found that the attendance re- corded at certain specified hours in the periodical room at the Central Library shows a decline as compared with the preced- ing year.* The same statement applies to the Newspaper Room at Central. On the other hand, the use of the Patent Room, which is principally reference use resting on the demands of business, has increased.
The constant increase of refeience works at the Central Building, and also at the branches and stations, accom- panied by larger deposits at the schools, is another factor tending to diminish the circulation for home use ; and the diminution in the supply of new books made available for circulation during the early months of the year, due in part to the necessaiy diversion of a part of our funds to the fitting up of new reading rooms in this and the preceding year, also accounts for part of the loss.f
Lideed, a decline in circulation for home use follows a decline in the number of new books, and we have found that, up to a certain point, it makes little difference whether the accessions are entirely new books or new copies of old books replacing copies worn out or lost. The bright, fresh covers have an influence in bringing the books into circulation, especially when displaj^ed'upon the open shelves. This is most graphically brought out in the following table showing the number of accessions, including replacements as well as new titles, for the first seven and last five months of two successive years, in comparison with the circulation for home use during the same periods :

If the circulation for the present year is analyzed by means of this table, it is at once apparent that, as compared with the preceding year, the decline during the first seven months from 949,282 to 891,170 followed a decline in the number of. volumes acquired from 10,300 to 7,550. During the last five months of 1906-07 as compared with the last five months of 1905-06 the number of volumes acquired increased from 5,401 to 8,222, and the circulation increased from 559,210 to 570,233. It is also clear, from this table, that although the circulation for the year declined from 1,508,492 to 1,461,403, the months in which the decline is shown were those in which the number of volumes acquired also show a decline ; the cir- culation as compared with the preceding year showing an in- crease after the first of September, and continuing to increase during rest of the year, following an increase as compared with the preceding year in the number of volumes acquired. The total nymber of volumes acquired in each year did not greath^ differ.
It may be added, although the statement passes beyond the period covered by this report, that the upper movement in circulation shown in the last five months of 1906-07 as compared with the corresponding months of 1905-06 has continued into the subsequent months.

REPORT OF THE EXAMINING COMMITTEE FOR 1906-1907.
To the Trustees of the Boston Public Library :
The first meeting of the Examining Commiftee for 1906- 1907 was held at 8.30 P.M. Friday, May 18, 1900, in the Lecture Room of the Libraiy.
According to custom, Rev. Di-. DeNormandie received the Committee on behalf of the Trustees, called the meeting to order, and explained the duties of the Committee. Twelve members of the Committee were present, jNlr. Curtis and i\lrs. Edson arriving after the close of the meeting.
After the withdrawal of Dr. DeNormandie, Thomas Minns, Esq., was chosen temporary Chairman. By a subsequent vote. Rev. Daniel Merriman, D.D., then absent, was elected permanent Chairman, Dr. William H. Ruddick Vice-Chair- man, and Mrs. Henry S. King Secretary.
It was voted that each member present be requested to choose three sub-committees on which he preferred to serve, and that, with these preferences in mind, the Chairman be authorized to appoint the various sub-committees.
It was voted to request Mr. Fleischner of the Library staff to address the Committee and answer any questions that might be asked. The Committee then adjourned to make an inspection of the various departments of the Library.
The Examining Committee met again at 3.30, May 23, in the Trustees' Room, when the various sub-committees were announced as follows :

This list of the several committees was sent to each mem- ber of the general committee, and each chairman was re- quested to call his committee together for the discharge of their special duties, and to be ready to make a report of their action later.
Every opportunity was given to these various committees to visit and inspect the different departments of the Library and its branches during the following months.
The third and final meeting of the general committee was held in the Lecture Room of the Library at 3 P.M. Tuesday, January 22, 1907, to receive and take action upon the reports of the sub-conniiittees and to consider any general suggestions that miglit be made. The chairmen of all the sub-committees were present and made reports in detail. While most of these committees had held more than one meeting during the year, giving considerable attention to the
56 City Document No. 25.
subjects with which they were entrusted ; and while many of them, both as chairmen and individual members, had devoted a great deal of time and labor to their special work, much regret was expressed by the Committee that a large proportion of its members had paid no attention to their appointment, had attended none of the meetings, either of the general or sub-committees, and had done no work what- ever. Several suggestions were made at various times that some steps should be taken in the future by the Trustees to secure a better attendance to their duties on the part of members of the Examining Committee.
After hearing and discussing the reports of the sub-com- mittees, it was voted that all these reports be referred to the Chairman, and that he be requested to make the report of the Committee to the Trustees, appending thereto each of the sub- committees' reports in full, that the Trustees might see the details if they should desire. The Committee then adjourned si7ie die.
The Chairman herewith submits an abstract of these reports :
Administration. — The Library is well organized. The heads of departments are well equipped, the assistants alert and courteous. The Library has a rapidly increasing use, and the city is urged to make large appropriations for it, while wealthy citizens are asked to add to its permanent funds.
Better artificial lighting and more advertising of the Library are urged. A permanent attendant in the Women's lavatory in the Central Library is recommended, with a charge for soap and towels.
It is also suggested that arrangements should be made by which books may be ordered by mail or telephone to be held at the Central Library until a fixed hour for patrons.
The extension of the Vacuum Cleaning System is com- mended, and also the gieat advantages which the Library affords to foreigners.
Books. — It is suggested that the collection of German books is behind the times. In English there seems to be too much room taken up by stories that are harmless, to the exclusion of those that have real distinction. It is thought that too much emphasis may be laid, in the selection of fiction, upon " the average uncultivated reader," since such readers may be able to appreciate better literature. A com- mittee to submit lists of books in which they have personally found satisfaction is suggested.
Branches. — The work of this Committee has been so exceptionally diligent and thorough, and their report is so minute and complete, that it is herewith submitted in full.
Library Department. 57
Branches.
The Sub-committee on Branches has visited all branches and stations and reports tlie following conditions :
Administration. — Strong, economical, just.
Examination and Test Paiyers. — Admirable in every respect.
Salaries. — Generous, barring the -fS wage. This the committee believes to be too low. It therefore recommends that it be raised in all instances where the week's work means morning as well as afternoon hours.
Charging System. — Not sufficiently simple. Computations should be by days of the 3'ear rather than by days of the month, and library cards should be either done away with (see Boston Athenceum) or else held by the staff (see South End Branch).
3fethod of Fining. — Imperfect, in so far as it relates to the child. Fines should be retained, lest all responsibility to the parent cease, yet an option might Avell be offered the child as to the method of payment, whether it shall be in money or in service (for suggestions as to service, errands, etc., see Station W). Were this done there would be smaller likelihood of past records standing against children. Also class distinction, as between the well-to-do and the poor, would vanish.
Circulation. — Over-emphasized. Competition is too keen. Were the total circulation only of all branches and stations, as against the circulation of individual branches and stations, given out by the Library authorities, either to the puljlic or to custodians, one incentive at least to too active a competi- tion would be removed.
Repetition. — Care should be taken not to repeat work already a successful part of the work of another city department, or indeed of any institution. The Story Hour at Brighton illustrates this point. The hour is for younger children only, and the story is the story pure and simple of the kindergarten, told, however, less skilfully than in the kindergarten. Such being the case, the kindergarten work already forming a successful feature of the School Depart- ment's work, there seems little real necessity for the Library's attempting to duplicate it, even in part. In its place, there- fore, the committee recommends the substitution of short talks on books and authors to small groups of older children.
The South End Story Hour (Thursday evening) is more satisfactory, in that it is broader in scope, offers laiger oppor- tunity, touches the older child only, is more skilfully handled,
58 City Document No. 25.
and is in no sense repetition. Its work is not that of the School Department. Neither is it that of the Settlement. It is strong, experimental work, illustrating active and intelli- gent co-operation on the part of three institutions, the Library, the Museum and the Settlement.
Service Rendered Library hy Staff. — Loyal, intelligent.
Condition of Books. — Excellent.
Ventilation. — Cbarlestown and East Boston Branches and Stations P and R excepted, fair ventilation is everywhere possible. Rarely, however, is it found. In three tests of heat registration made in six branches and stations, only one thermometer registered as low as 78°, whilst several touched 84°. Windows are too rarely opened, air is not kept circu- lating and radiators are on full power.
Heating. — Extravagant. Fires are too large and too quick. Slower firing would mean a smaller purchase of coal.
Lighting. — Good, except for those rooms using electricity. For these the committee recommends that the arms of the electric standards be reversed, that is, placed at right angles to the tables rather than lengthwise. A reader could then sit back in his chair, keep his book in his hand, and have the light from over his shoulder.
School Registration. — Eminently satisfactory.
Concerniyig Books. — A higher degree of literary excel- lence should be sought for in the selection of all Catholic books other than the standard Catholic works.
Books in foreign languages. — More should be purchased, not only for the sake of the older people who can read but their mother tongue, but also for the sake of the child, to whom the knowledge of two languages will mean, in after life, an advantage in commercial and industrial competition.
Books in general. — The crying need of the department is an immediate addition to its general deposit.
Juvenile books. — Fewer should be purchased. There are too many, and too large a proportion are of a trivial character. The committee recommends a reduction, in titles, of 50 per cent., believing this to be none too sweeping.
The Children's Side of the Work. — Too much is done for the child, not enough for the adult. This over-emphasis affects the proper balance of the work as a whole. Young men are daily demanding technical works relating to profes- sions and trades, and more reading space is needed for grown people. Until these two wants are supplied, nothing further should be done for the child.
Age Limits. — Tlie committee favors the raising of the age limit from 12 to 18 (evening hours only) for all branches
Library Department. 59
and stations where the attendance of children crowds out that of adults ; and the lowering of the age limit from 16 to 12 in the use by the child of the adult library in those branches having children's rooms. The committee knows that custodians are permitted to use, and do use, discretion- ary power in regard to this matter ; still, it feels that a wrong is done the child who, at the age of 12, 13, 14, 15, is not allowed freedom of access to the open shelves of an adult library. Were the standard works on English litera- ture kept in duplicate copy in the children's rooms the present age limit (16) might not be unjust.
Children's Booms. — " Adult " literature is needed. The books in the children's room at the South End Branch (to cite but one instance) number 2,400 volumes, every one of which, barring certain histories, reference works, and the Cambridge edition of the poets, is listed in the finding list as "juvenile" liteiature (Y). Cooper, Dickens, Washing- ton Irving, George Eliot, Shakespeare are totally without representation. Thackeray and Scott have but one volume each, Hawthorne but two, and even Miss Yonge but her simplest stories. The collection should at once be broadened in scope, not by increasing the number of books, for 2,000 to 3,000 volumes is a thoroughly workable library, but by drop- ping present titles and substituting new ones (adult ones). It is quite possible, too, that reading rooms for grown people might solve more successfully, and at less cost than children's rooms, the vexed problem of overcrowded branches and sta- tions. If, for example, further growth becomes at any time possible at Upham's Corner, the committee hopes it may be in this direction.
School Affiliation. — Not as close as it should be. It is suggested, and tlie committee approves the suggestion, that a higher standard of co-operation be secured by asking the School Committee to designate some one master to act for the schools.
Transportatioyi of School Deposits. — The committee has studied existing conditions and tabulated results. But 58 per cent, of the total number of schools served are found to have Library delivery, with a still lower percentage, Central excluded. It is also noted that a marked unevenness exists in service : — certain sections of the city (Brighton, Dor- chestei'. Central) receiving full delivery, other sections (South End, Roxbury, West Roxbury) but partial delivery; and still others (East Boston, South Boston [one school excepted], Jamaica Plain) no delivery whatever. Again, that the 42 per cent, of schools furnishing their own trans-
(30 City Document No. 25.
poitation suffer because of the extra burden to the teacher, necessitated by pupil service, in the wrapping and tying into parcels of thousands of books yearly (7,000 volumes for four branches) ; because of the necessity of taking boys from their classes to fetch and carry; because of the establish- ment of a point of possible friction between teacher and custodian. The committee therefore condemns the present system as not only unsatisfactory, but as scarcely creditable to a large city. It believes that all sections of the city should receive equality of service, and that delivery, whether by auto, wagon, hand or express, should be wholly by one agent, and that agent the Library.
Concerning Circular of Superintendent of Schools, No. 6, 1901. — Interpreting " any losses of books " (see paragraph 2) to mean " all losses of books," the committee feels that the Library's practice of at times allowing the teachers to pay for such losses themselves is a breaking in spirit, if not in fact, of the school agreement. Teachers should undoubtedly have the right to protect themselves against an unjust repri- mand by a school authority, but this protection would come more naturally and with greater dignity from the School Committee than from the Library. Again, as loiig as the present practice continues, it might be well to recognize it in the Annual Report, for the reason that not to do so is misleading in that the omission conveys the impression that " the bill for missing books for the year . . . paid for by the School Committee . . ." (p. 49, Annual Report 1905-06) is the bill for the total loss, whilst in leality there is a further loss unaccounted for.
Portable Reading Rooms. — The committee desires to see portable reading rooms introduced, l)elieving that they would prove serviceable in out-lying and in tenement dis- tricts. It favors the experiment of erecting one on the Ath- letic Field, Field's Corner, and believes that another might solve the problem of where to move to, for Station P, could ground be leased for the purpose from the Female Asylum.
Branches. — Two branches, Dorchester and Jamaica Plain, are no longer located at centres of population. Were both closed, and reading rooms substituted, the public would gain.
Stations. — The raising of Station Q into a branch, in view of the excellent work it is doing as a reading room, would, in the opinion of the committee, be a retrogressive act. It would also be an extravagance, for it would mean extra expense with no corresponding gain in service.
Library Department. 61
In the discussion in the general committee of this report on branches the great need of larger and better quarters for the Dorchester Branch was emphasized, where the accommo- dations are inadequate for the growing district. One member of the Committee on Branches strongly expressed the opinion that no reading room should be placed within 400 feet of a liquor saloon, and deplored the bad conditions surrounding one or two such rooms where there was much disturbance. This opinion was controverted by the Chairman of the Com- mittee, who urged that such places were just those where reading rooms were most needed to counteract the saloon.
Especial attention was called to the condition of North Brighton, as needing better facilities, and regret was expressed that the room there had been closed.
Catalogues.
The Cataloguing Department is in excellent condition. The need of better lighting of the Bates Hall catalogue and of more cabinets has been met. It is suggested that valuable space is taken up by the co-operative catalogue, which appears, to be little used. Clean cards aie being supplied as rapidly 'as possible. The catalogue room is better lighted. The new label on the drawers of the Bates Hall catalogue is com- mended. A useful work is the entering under distinct titles of valuable monographs, and this is being continued. Cata- logues in Branch Libraries are in excellent condition. The faithfulness and efficiency of the workers in the Catalogue Department are commended.
Fhiance.
The Auditor's Report recently issued is a very complete statement and does not call for special examination at this time. The funds of the Corporation are by law invested l)y the Treasurer of the City of Boston. The expenditure of the income of said funds is made by requisition upon the City Treasurer under a strict system of supervision and responsibility by the Trustees.
Printing and Binding.
The Binding Department appears to be well equipped and to produce work of excellent character. Colors and mate- rials chosen make for durability. The Printing Department should be one of the most important in the conduct of the Library. At present its limitations in equipment and scope are such that it is not fulfilling its opportunity for usefulness.
62 City Document No. 25.
The making of card catalogues has been developed to a high standard.
It is suggested that the department is not adequate to the needs of the Library. There is a small job press for the card catalogues ; all of the other press work is done on a small old style cylinder which is not well adapted to its work. It is recommended that a small rotary press be provided. Under present conditions various kinds of printing have to wait their turn in press work, so that only one order can go on at one time.
It is recommended that the routine of the office be changed so as to relieve the Superintendent of proofreading.
It is also recommended that there be co-operation between the various departments, so that the demands upon the printing office can be determined in advance. In this way it is thought that the output may be doubled at small cost.
It is strongly urged that, as the printing and binding are carried on in a manufacturing budding, where there are auto- mobile establishments, the danger from fire is great ; and the risk of loss of valuable books, being rej)aired or bound in the bindery, is too serious to be incurred.
Fine Arts.
The committee made two careful examinations of, this department, They commend the facilities afforded teachers, students, classes and groups, from public and private schools, to copy, study and receive lessons on works of art. The arrangements for putting pictures on special subjects into the hands of teachers in the public schools through the branch libraries seem to be excellent.
It is suggested that, in addition to other timely exhibitions of pictures and photographs, it might be well if a series of pictures of the Madonna could be placed on view at Christmas time.
It is also suggested that there is need of a special guide board to the Fine Arts Department, to be placed at the foot of the stairway leading thereto.
In conclusion, the committee trusts that its work may be of some slight advantage to the Trustees in their arduous responsibilities in the administration of a great public insti- tution.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the committee.

APPENDIX VIII.
TRUSTEES FOR FIFTY-FIVE YEARS.
The Hon. Edward Everett was President of the Board of Trustees from 1852 to 1864; George Ticknor in 1805; WilHam W. Greenough, from 1866 to April, 1888; from May 7, 1888, to May 12, 1888, Prof. Henry W. Haynes ; Samuel A. B. Abbott, May 12, 1888, to April 30, 1895; Hon. F. O. Prince, October 8, 1895, to May 8, 1899 ; Hon. Solomon Lincoln has served since May 12, 1899.
The Board for 1852 was a preliminary organization ; that for 1853 made what is called the first annual report. At first it con- sisted of one alderman and one common councilman and five citizens at large until 1867, when a revised ordinance made it to consist of one alderman, two common couucilmen and six citizens at lai'ge, two of whom retired, unless re-elected, each year, while the members from the City Council were elected yearly. In 1878 the organization of the Board was changed to include one alder- man, one councilman and five citizens at large, as before 1867; and in 1885, by the provisions of the amended city charter, the representation of the City Government upon the Board by an alderman and a councilman was abolished, leaving the Board as at present, consisting of five citizens at large, appointed by the Mayor.
