To  His  Honor  Patrick  A.  Collins, 

Mayor  of  the    City  of  Boston  : 

The  Trustees  of  the  Public  Library  of  the  City  of  Boston 
present  the  following  report  of  its  condition  and  activities 
for  the  year  ending  January  31,  190-1,  being  the  fifty-second 
annual  report. 

Dr.  Thomas  D wight,  whose  term  expired  on  April  30, 
1908,  oas  reappointed  a  Trustee  for  five  years,  from  May  1, 
1903.  The  Board  was  organized  in  jNIay,  1903,  by  the 
election  of  Mr.  Solomon  Lincoln  as  President  and  James 
De  Normandie,  D.D.,  as  Vice-President.  Miss  Delia  Jean 
Deery  was  re-elected  Clerk  of  the  Corporation. 

In  accordance  with  the  ordinance  of  the  city  directing  that 
an  Examining  Committee  shall  be  appointed  annually  by  the 
Trustees  to  examine  the  Library  and  make  report  of  its  con- 
dition, the  Trustees  appointed  the  follownig  persons  for  the 
present  year : 


Charles  S.  Hamlin,

and  their  report  which  is  herewith  submitted  has  received 
tlie  careful  consideration  of  the  Trustees.  It  represents  the 
views  and  suggestions  of  a  large  committee  who  reside  in  all 
parts  of  the  city,  who  look  at  the  Library  from  a  different 
standpoint  from  those  who  are  daily  engaged  in  its  adminis- 
tration, and  whose  recommendations  may  be  of  real  value  to 
the  Trustees. 

The  reports  of  all  the  departments  of  the  Library  will  be 
found  joined  to  this  report,  giving  a  full  account  of  the  regu- 
lar operations  of  the  Library  during  the  present  year,  with 
all  the  information  the  public  can  desire  to  have  in  regard  to 
the  practical  results  and  the  needs  of  the  Library,  and  it  is 
only  b}^  a  careful  examination  of  these  that  the  public  can 
understand  the  varied  interests  and  the  large  and  increasing 
place  the  Library  fills  in  the  literary  and  educational  interests 
of  the  city. 

The  Trustees  invite  special  attention  to  the  valuable  and 
interesting  report  mIucIi  the  Librarian  makes  of  the  first  year 
of  his  charge  of  the  Library,  and  to  the  careful  and  wise 
views  he  presents  in  regard  to  each  department,  to  fiction,  to 
the  Branches  and  Stations,  to  the  work  with  the  schools,  and 
the  information  about  purchase,  circulation,  and  home  use  of 
books,  newspapers,  and  manuscripts,  the  bulletins,  the  lec- 
tures, the  examinations,  and  the  gifts  the  library  has 
received. 

The  following  figures  exhibit  the  receipts  and  expendi- 
tures during  the  past  year  :

There  lias  been,  during  the  year,  a  large  increase  in  the 
stations  and  delivery  agencies  of  the  Library.  There  are 
now  one  hundred  and  eighty-five  in  place  of  one  hundred 
and  fifty-six  last  year,  largely  due,  as  w^ill  be  seen  by  the 
Librarian's  report,  to  the  work  in  the  schools;  but  it  is  evi- 
dent that  the  very  generous  appropriation  of  the  city  cannot 
be  equal  to  these  multiplying  demands  to  have  stations  so 
near  together.  It  is  not  always  an  unminglecl  literary  interest 
which  makes  these  petitions,  and  the  early  enthusiasm  often 
dies  away,  while  the  expenses  steadily  grow.  When  a  station 
does  not  maintain  nor  increase  its  usefulness  it  becomes  a 
serious  question  whether  it  should  not  be  merged  with  some 
neighboring  one,  where  the  rooms  for  children  and  for 
adult  readers  may  be  larger,  the  light  better,  the  air  purer, 
with  a  larger  supply  of  books  and  journals  and  papers, 
making  the  whole  much  ampler  in  its  Library  accommoda- 
tions ;  in  other  words,  whether  the  number  of  small  stations 
is  not  out  of  proportion  to  their  usefulness. 

The  number  of  volumes  added  to  the  Library  during  the 
year  was  39,280,  and  the  year  before  34,635.  The  number 
of  volumes  in  the  Library  at  the  end  of  the  year  was  848,884, 
so  that  we  are  now  rapidly  approaching  the  v^st  total  of  one 
million  volumes. 

Tlie  Trustees  have  to  record  with  great  gratitude  the 
receipt  during  the  year  of  the  legacy  of  one  hundred  thou- 
sand dollars  from  the  estate  of  Mr.  Robert  C.  Billings,  an 
estimable  Boston  merchant,  and  also  in  addition  the  sum 
of  eight  thousand  nine  hundred  and  two  dollars  from  his 
executor  for  the  medallion  bust  of  Mr.  Billings  by  Mr.  St. 
Gaudens,  which  is  now  in  the  court  of  the  Library.  The 
Trustees  also  record  with  gratitude  the  gift  of  five  thousand 

*Thi8  balance  is  composed  of  certain  items  of  trust  fund  income,  accrued  interest 
on  deposit,  etc.,  as  shown  in  the  Auditor's  detailed  statement,  Appendix  I.,  page  63.

dollars  from  Mrs.  Elizabeth  Lewis  of  Boston,  and  they  have 
established  the  same  as  a  fund  to  be  designated  the  Mrs. 
John  A.  Lewis  Fund,  the  income  of  which  shall  be  used  to 
increase  the  collection  known  as  the  John  A.  Lewis  Library. 
The  Library  needs  these  gifts  to  supplement  the  generosity  of 
the  city,  and  the  Trustees  would  appeal  to  its  friends  to 
remember  that  the  appropriation  of  the  city  can  never  be 
entirely  equal  to  its  effective  w^ork.  It  needs,  and  will 
always  need,  other  funds  to  procure  at  rare  opportunities 
and  without  delay  valuable  collections  of  books,  libraries  of 
special  students,  works  of  historical  or  literary  or  artistic 
merit,  which  give  to  a  Library  great  distinction. 

The  Trustees  feel  that  one  purpose  of  the  Library  is  to  aid 
our  rapidly  increasing  foreign  population  to  find  here  good 
reading  in  the  English  language,  which  they  are  all  so  eager 
to  understand,  and  that  older  persons,  who  can  never  become 
quite  familiar  with  it,  should  have  a  fair  proportion  of  l)ooks 
in  their  mother  tongues. 

In  the  early  days.  Public  Libraries  were  looked  upon  with 
much  favor  as  helping  young  persons  in  every  literary  way 
after  they  had  finished  their  school  years.  The  aid  the 
Library  might  give  in  all  the  work  of  the  schools,  or  the 
encouragement  and  enjoyment  it  might  afford  almost  before 
the  school  life  begins,  was  not  realized.  The  Trustees  look 
with  interest  and  satisfaction  upon  the  opportunities  the 
Library  is  offering  to  children  —  a  field  wliich  is  capable  of 
great  expansion  and  usefulness. 

While  the  Trustees  would  offer  proper  opportunity  for 
entertainment  and  information  to  the  superficial  inquirer, 
they  also  regard  it  as  of  the  greatest  importance  that  stuJents 
in  every  branch  of  investigation, —  scientific,  pliiloso[)hical, 
historical,  artistic,  geographical,  or  in  the  dep;ntments  of 
travel  and  biography  —  not  provided  for  in  other  special 
libraries,  should  here  have  ample  opportunities  to  pursue 
their  work.  Nature  5<ometimes  bestows  the  rarest  gifts  upon 
children  in  the  humblest  homes,  in  even  the  lowest  haunts  of 
city  life,  and  tlie  Public  Library  should  be  a  place  where  any 
such  children  may  have  developed  those  springs  of  genius 
which  shall  one  day  be  the  city's  greatest  {)ride  and  homu'; 
and  this  is  the  reason  for  buying  books  which  the  general 
public  may  never  want,  nor  know  of  tiie  beneficent  opportunity 
they  afford  in  making  careful  and  valuable  investigation. 

The  Trustees  also  mark  with  much  satisfaction  the  com- 
paratively few  complaints  —  although  these  are  constantly 
invited  —  made  about  the  Library  service.  .V  large  amount 
of  the  work   of  the   Librarv   is  carried  on  in  rooms  where.

quietly  and  ploddingly,  faithful  men  and  women  pursue  their 
tasks  co)i  amove,  while  others  have  to  deal  immediately  with 
the  public,  meeting  those  who  are  sometimes  exacting  and 
impatient.  Occasionally,  no  doubt,  incidents  occur,  not 
without  provocation  upoi;i  each  side,  which  are  very  trying 
even  to  the  most  saintly  natures  ;  but  we  desire  and  are 
determined  that  each  year  the  entire  service  of  the  Library 
shall  improve. 

The  rapid  increase  in  the  number  of  libraries,  and  of  the 
new  fields  opening  to  their  usefulness,  make  them  assume 
each  j-ear  the  character  of  a  profession,  and  of  a  very  imjjor- 
tant  profession,  which  in  all  its  higher  departments  calls  for 
better  preparation  to  meet  the  constantly  increasing  demands 
of  the  public  for  information  and  guidance. 

The  Trustees  beg  leave  to  return  their  grateful  acknowl- 
edgment to  the  City  Government  for  its  liberal  support  of 
the  Library,  and  yet  it  is  plain  that  year  by  year  the  appro- 
priation must  be  increased  in  order  to  carrj^  on  to  advantage 
the  work  expected  of  so  great  an  institution,  and  the  City 
may  reasonably  require  renewed  efforts  to  make  it  worthy  of 
such  constant  generosity.  We  are  confident  it  will  receive 
the  intelligent  and  ungrudging  support  which  has  carried  it 
on  thus  far,  and  the  popular  assurance  will  deepen  that  no 
part  of  the  City's  expenditure  will  give  a  richer  return  to 
the  public,  and  the  I^ibrarj^  will  be  accepted  as  a  necessary 
instrument  in  the  beginning  and  completion  of  our  whole 
system  of  public  education,  and  more  and  more  justify  the 
mottoes:  "The  Public  Library  of  the  City  of  Boston.  Built 
by  the  People  and  dedicated  to  the  Advancement  of  Learn- 
ing.'" "  The  Commonwealth  requires  the  Education  of  the 
People  as  the  Safeguard  of  Order  and  Liberty."

found  in  the  statement  of  the  Library  Auditor  (Appendix  I.). 

BUILDINGS,  EQlll'MENT,   AND    GENERAL 
ADMLXISTRATION. 

At  the  central  building  tlie  boilers  have  been  in  daily 
operation,  and  tiie  service  has  been  found  satisfactory.  The 
motors  have  been  operated  regularly  throughout  the  year,  and 
are  in  good  condition.  The  piping  throughout  is  in  proper 
order,  but  repairs  will  be  required  during  the  summer  upon 
the  four-inch  main  connected  with  the  heating  service. 
iNlinor  repairs  upon' boilers,  air  compressor,  feed  pumps,  ele- 
vators, and  elevator  pumps  have  been  made  as  needed,  with- 
out materially  interfering  with  the  service. 

The  refitting  of  the  room  and  galleries  occupied  by  the 
Statistical  Department  required  the  installation  of  sixty  addi- 
tional electric  lamps,  and  forty  others  have  been  placed  else- 
where in  the  buildino;. 

No  important  changes  in  construction  or  in  equi}mient 
have  been  found  necessary.     The  ordinary  routine  repairs  on

the  central  building  have  been  carried  out  and  the  branch 
buildings  put  in  good  order,  as  detailed  hereinafter. 

The  consumption  of  soft  coal,  necessary  while  the  coal 
strike  continued,  was  abandoned  April  1.  The  deface- 
ment of  the  building  externally  from  smoke  was  apparent, 
and  the  deposits  of  soot  internally  required  much  unusual 
cleaning.  Although  we  are  now  using  hard  coal,  neverthe- 
less the  increasing  amount  of  soft  coal  smoke  in  the  city  is  a 
constant  menace  to  the  valuable  collections  in  the  possession 
of  the  Library.  At  times,  e.speciall}^  when  the  windows  are 
open  communicating  with  the  stacks  and  Special  Libraries, 
great  care  is  required  to  prevent  damage  from  this  source. 

The  severe  winter  has  entailed  much  greater  expense  than 
is  usual  for  removing  snow  and  ice  at  the  central  building 
and  branches,  and  the  roof  gutters  have  required  constant 
attention  to  prevent  leaks.  During  the  coming  season 
repairs  should  be  made  upon  the  roof  tiling  at  Copley 
square,  and  additional  steam  pipe  provided  through  the 
gutters  to  prevent  accumulations  of  ice  therein. 

Works  of  Art. 

In  April  the  Library  received  from  the  estate  of  the  late 
Robert. Charles  Billings  of  Boston  the  sum  of  $100,000  as  a 
permanent  fund  for  the  purchase  of  books,  and  the  additional 
sum  of  •?'8,902  to  be  used  for  the  purchase  of  a  bas-relief  of 
Mr.  Billings,  Under  the  conditions  attached  to  this  gift  a 
bronze  bas-relief  by  Augustus  St.  Gaudens  has  been  placed 
in  the  wall  of  the  building  on  the  north  corridor  of  the 
court  yard. 

The  Library  has  accepted  from  donors  representing  ten 
States  a  portrait  bust  of  the  late  Lucy  Stone,  in  marble,  by 
Anne  Whitney.  This  has  been  placed  opposite  the  alcove 
occupied  by  the  Galatea  Collection. 

Books  Received. 

The  total  accessions  for  the  3-ear  1903-04  from  all  sources 
amount  to  39,280  volumes  as  against  34,635  volumes  for  the 
year  preceding. 

The  work  of  selection  for  purchase  has  required  the  regu- 
lar examination  of  numerous  periodicals  and  catalogues,  the 
personal  inspection  of  the  more  important  current  publica- 
tions in  the  English  language,  sent  to  the  Library  on  approval 
as  they  come  from  the  press,  and  the  systematic  reading  of 
nearly  GOO  English  and  American  sales  catalogues.  In  this 
work  the  Librarian  has  had  the  continued  assistance  of  Mr. 


8  City  Document  No.  24. 

James  L.  Whitney,  as  well  as  that  of  certain  chiefs  of  depart- 
ments and  members  of  the  staff  who  devote  particular  atten- 
tion to  specialties.  Mr.  Thomas  S.  Perry  has  been  entrusted 
with  the  examination  of  current  European  Continental  pub- 
lication lists  and  catalogues.  The  plan  of  submitting  current 
fiction  as  received  for  examination,  to  be  read  by  a  volunteer 
committee  not  connected  with  the  official  staff,  has  been 
continued  as  usual. 

The  conservative  policy  which  the  Library  is  now  pursuing 
with  respect  to  the  purcliases  of  current  fiction  has  restricted 
recent  accessions  in  that  class  to  works  by  authors  of  estab- 
lished reputation,  or  to  volumes  which  have  been  before  the 
public  long  enough  to  have  demonstrated  their  merit.  It 
should  be  borne  in  mind,  however,  that  the  Library  already 
contains  an  extensive  collection  of  English  and  foreign  fiction, 
and  selections  for  home  reading  have  been  facilitated  by  con- 
tinuing the  open  fiction  desk  in  the  Delivery  Room,  supplied 
with  representative  works,  constantly  changed.  The  publi- 
cation of  a  new  finding  list  of  English  prose  fiction  has  also 
been  found  very  useful.  A  similar  list  of  German  fiction 
and  a  special  list  of  historical  fiction  are  in  preparation. 
There  is  therefore  no  dearth  of  fiction  in  the  Libraiy.  easily 
accessible,  much  of  which  is  superior,  not  only  as  literature 
but  in  general  interest  to  the  average  reader,  to  the  larger 
part  of  that  recently  published. 

It  is  not  intended  to  underestimate  the  value  of  fiction  as 
a  department  of  literature,  or  the  place  of  the  novel  in 
modern  literary  development.  There  are  doubtless  wiiters  of 
fiction  in  our  day  who  are  worthy  to  rank  with  the  recognized 
masters.  It  may  be  conceded,  also,  that  it  is  one  of  the  func- 
tions of  literature  to  afford  pure  amusement  to  the  reader,  or, 
through  the  pathway  of  romance,  to  open  to  him  a  world 
apart  from  our  strenuous  modem  life,  and  that  this  may  be 
done  by  means  of  the  novel  as  in  no  other  way.  Neverthe- 
less it  remains  tiue  that  out  of  a  thousand  volumes  of  fiction, 
more  or  less,  that  came  from  the  press  last  year,  there  were 
few  which  were  of  more  than  ordinary  merit. 

The  demand  for  these  books  is  stimulated  by  persistent 
advertising,  and  with  few  exceptions  they  are  out  of  vogue 
within  a  short  time  after  imblication.  The  Library  should 
serve  all  classes  of  readers,  but,  although  the  demand  for 
current  fiction  is  insistent,  due  jn-oportion  must  be  observed 
in  tlie  various  classes,  of  which  fiction  is  but  one. 

The  practical  considerations,  if  there  were  no  other — of 
providing  for  accessions  upon  our  shelves,  of  keeping  the 
catalogue   within  reasonable  limits,  financial  limitations,  the 


Library  Department.  9 

constant  increase  in  our  fixed  charges  due  to  the  natural 
growth  and  expansion  of  our  work,  —  these  necessarily  restrict 
purchases  within  somewhat  conservative  limits. 

In  the  aggregate,  680  volumes  of  current  fiction  passed 
under  consideration  during  the  year.  Of  the  entire  num- 
ber not  more  than  200  were  by  authors  who  are  at  all 
widely  known.  Authors  whose  reputation  is  more  than  local 
represented  a  much  smaller  number.  Unless  much  restricted, 
purchases  in  duplicate  sufficient  to  supply  the  Central  Library 
and  branches,  to  say  nothing  of  deposit  work,  would  liave 
gone  far  toward  exhausting  our  available  funds.  Out  of  the 
whole,  135  titles  were  accepted,  many  of  which  should  be 
classed  as  fiction  for  young  re'aders. 

Naturally  the  restriction  of  purchases  of  curient  fiction 
has  somewhat  diminished  the  aggregate  circulation,  but, 
excluding  English  fiction  drawn  by  adults,  the  circulation 
_  shows  a  slight  gain. 

For  example,  in  the  direct  circulation  for  home  use  from 
the  Central  Library  there  was  a  decline  of  2.98  per  cent  in 
1903-0-i  as  compared  with  the  preceding  year,  and  the  circula- 
tion of  English  fiction  drawn  by  adults  declined  11.51  per 
cent.  On  the  other  hand,  the  circulation  of  books  other  than 
English  fiction  drawn  by  adults  increased  2.42  per  cent,  or 
nearly  as  much  as  the  aggregate  circulation  declined. 

It  is  impossible  to  make  a  similar  comparison  with  regard 
to  the  circulation  through  all  of  the  agencies  of  the  Library, 
since  the  recording  system  employed  at  the  stations  and  at 
two  of  the  branches  does  not  permit  the  separation  of  adult 
fiction  from  the  total.  It  may  be  done  for  eight  of  the 
branches,  however,  and  at  these  the  total  circulation  for  home 
use  declined  3.49  per  cent  in  1903-04  as  compared  with 
1902-03;  the  direct  circulation  of  English  fiction  drawn 
by  adults  declined  9.22  percent,  and,  excluding  English  fic- 
tion drawn  by  adults,  the  circulation  remained  practically 
unchanged,  increasing  slightly,  or  from  359,101  to  359,703 
volumes. 

In  combination,  these  statistics  of  direct  circulation  for  home 
use  from  the  Central  Library  and  eight  imj^ortant  branches, 
covering  in  the  aggregate  872,873  volumes  in  1903-04  and 
902,785  in  1902-03," show  a  decline  of  3.31  per  cent  in  the 
total  circulation  in  the  later  as  compared  with  the  former 
year;  a  decline  of  10.01  per  cent  in  the  circulation  of 
English  fiction  drawn  by  adults ;  and  a  gain  of  nearly  one 
per  cent  (0.95)  in  the  circulation  excluding  English  fiction 
drawn  by  adults.

data  relative  to  circulation,  and  especially  relating  to  the 
use  of  fiction. 

A  report  prepared  by  Miss  Theodosia  E.  Macurdy,  Chief

The  number  of  volumes  added  by  purchase  (24, -36 6) 
exceeds  by  2,846  the  number  purchased  in  1902-08.  The 
increase  is  principally  in  the  books  for  the  branches,  namely, 
2,519  volumes  ;  the  net  increase  at  the  Central  Library  aggre- 
gating but  o27  volumes. 

The  number  of  volumes  added  bv  gift  (^11,120)  exceeds 
by  2,768  the  number  added  in  1902-03. 

The  number  added  by  gifts  to  the  Statistical  Department 
is  924  as  against  1,611  in  1902-03.

REVIEW    OF    PURCHASES. 

In  reviewing  the  accessions,  the  most  noteworth}'  purchases 
appear  to  be  those  of  early  American  newspapers,  together 
with  broadsides  and  manuscripts  of  the  same  general  period, 
i.e.,  the  Eighteenth  Century.  Closely  allied  to  these  in 
importance  and  also  in  cost  are  works  relating  to  the  fine  and 
industrial  arts,  while  subjects  especially  strengtliened  are 
psychology  and  philosophy,  genealogy,  electricity,  the  Shake- 
speare collection,  the  Artz  collection  of  first  editions,  and 
the  history  and  literature  of  the  Philippine  Islands. 

No  very  large  collection  of  books  on  any  one  subject  has 
been  bought,  with  the  exception  perhaps  of  genealogy,  and  first 
editions  of  Nineteenth  Century  writers,  but  an  unusually  large 
quantity  of  rare  tracts,  published  in  New  England  and  else- 
where, has  been  secured,  some  valuable  sets  of  periodicals 
obtained,  and  a  number  of  first  and  good  editions  of  non- 
current  books  culled  from  the  sales  catalogues  of  book 
dealers.  The  selections  from  these  lists  of  the  older  books 
gradually  supply  the  missing  volumes  needed  to  complete 
our  collection ;  they  are  bought  in  most  cases  at  a  low  price, 
and  are  the  "  aftermath  "  for  which  the  Library  could  afford 
to  wait. 

The  general,  or  what  may  be  called  the  routine  accessions, 
consisting  of  books  in  all  classes  of  literature  currently  issued 


12  City  Document  No.  2-4. 

in  this  country  and  abroad  (the  direct  result  of  the  regular 
bibliographical  research  by  the  J>.ibrary  staff)  have  no,t  dif- 
fered materially  from  those  of  last  year. 

Some  of  the  most  significant  accessions  referred  to  are  here 
given  in  detail,  -since  there  is  no  other  grouping  of  the  addi- 
tions of  the  year, 

NEWSPAPERS. 

About  800  numbers  of  the  Pennsylvania  Gazette,  par- 
tially covering  the  years  1739  to  1784  have  been  secured. 
Of  these,  nearly  500  numbers  are  for  the  years  1789-69, 
the  j)eriod  during  which  the  Gazette  was  published  by 
Franklin,  and  contain  Washington's  Embass}-  to  the  Indians, 
Notes  on  the  Expedition  against  Cape  Breton,  and  notice 
of  the  paper's  discontinuance  on  account  of  the  Stamp  Act; 
also  204  numbers  of  the  Pennsylvania  Chronicle  and  Uni- 
versal Advertiser,  1708-1770.  (Bought  at  the  Proud  sale, 
Philadelphia.) 

Large  additions  were  also  made  to  the  files  of  the  follow- 
ing  Boston  newspapers  for  the  years  1733-64  :  The  Boston 
Gazette,  The  Boston  Evening  Post,  The  Boston  Post  Boy 
and  Advertiser,  The  Boston  Weekly  Newsletter,  The  Inde- 
pendent Advertiser,  The  New  England  Weekly  Journal, 
The  Weekly  Rehearsal,  and  the  Massachusetts  Gazette  for 
1770  and  1771.      (Bought  at  auction  and  jjrivate  sale.) 

BROADSIDES. 

Among  the  more  interesting  of  the  fifty  or  moie  broadsides 
purchased  at  auctions  and  private  sales,  is  the  rare  "  Account 
of  a  late  Military  Massacre  at  Boston,  or  the  Consequences 
of  Quartering  Troo])S  in  a  Populous  Town.  Boston,  March 
12,  1770."  This  broadside  was  published  by  Holt  of  New 
York,  and  contains  a  detailed  account  of  the  Massacre.  On 
the  reverse  side  is  the  cut  of  five  coffins,  with  the  skull  and 
crossbones.      (Bought  at  the  Proud  sale.) 

Another  is  the  '•  Articles  of  Convention  between  Lieuten- 
ant-General  Burgoyne  and  JNIajor-General  Gates,  Boston, 
October  23,  1777,"  in  which  (leneral  Gates  records  that 
"  Lieutenant-General  Burgoyne  surrendered  himself  and  his 
whole  Army,  on  the  17th  instant  into  my  hands :  they  are 
now  on  their  march  towai'ds  Boston."  (Bought  at  the  Bart- 
lett  sale.) 

Still  another  is  a  poster,  signed  by  Governor  'I'homas 
Hutchinson,  proclaiming  a  General  Fast  for  April  15,  1773. 
Boston,  1773  (bought  at  a  New  York  sale),  and  a  number 
of  pioclamations   signed   l)y    (iovernors   Shirley   and    Phips

relating  to  the  mustering  of  troops  for  tlie  expedition  against

FINE   ARTS. 

To  the  Fine  Arts  collection  the  accessions  have  been 
numerous  and  varied,  and  include,  besides  current  publica- 
tions, many  works  of  older  date  bought  considerably  under 
the  published  price. 

Since  this  resumd  cannot  be  exhaustive,  the  following 
titles  (23)  are  selected  as  showing  the  general  character  of

aggregated  4,245,400. 

The  body  of  the  Monthly  Bulletin  consists  as  usual  of  the 
list  of  newly  added  books  and  of  items  of  general  library 
interest.  Besides  this  have  been  published  a  description  of 
Sargent's  latest  decoration  (The  Dogma  of  the  Redemption), 
written  by  Sylvester  Baxter,  and  reprinted  from  the  "Boston 
Herald"  (March,  1908);  a  Special  Summer  Finding  List 
(June,  1903),  which  was  reprinted  in  an  edition  of  1600  ; 
the  Programme  of  Exhibition  of  Fine  Arts  at  the  Central 
Library  and  branches  for  1903-04  (October,  1903)  ;  Titles

under  the  auspices  of  the  Circolo  Italiano  (October,  1903)  ; 
and  a  List  of  Books  in  the  English  Language  on  the  Fine 
and  Decorative  Arts,  suitable  for  small  libraries,  with  prices 
added  (December,  1903).  The  following  lists  of  books  for 
reading  in  connection  with  lectures  before  the  Lowell  Listi- 
tute,  in  each  case  suggested  by  the  lecturer,  and  edited  with- 
out cost  to  the  Library,  have  also  appeared :

The  Bindery. 

During  the  year  35,874  volumes  have  been  bound  in  the 
Bindery  Department,  3,187  volumes  repaired,  1,L58  maps 
mounted  on  cloth,  2,344  photographs  mounted,  and  a  large 
amount  of  miscellaneous  work  performed,  against  which  at

least  one-ninth  of  the  total  expense  of  the  Bindery  should  be 
charged.  Although  the  work  performed  in  this  department 
shows  a  constant  increase  from  year  to  year,  its  standard  of 
efficiency  has  not  been  lowered.

in  type  by  the  Printing  Department,  have  been  mentioned 
in  connection  with  the  report  of  the  Editor  of  Library 
publications. 


Distribution  of  Documents  and  Supplies. 

The  Stock  Department,  in  charge  of  Mr.  George  V. 
jNIooney,  Custodian,  has  distributed  78,064  Library  publica- 
tions during  the  year.  The  number  of  blank  forms  distrib- 
uted aggregates  2,142,339,  including  1,748,400  call  slips  of 
various  kinds. 

Registration. 

The  total  number  of  borrowers'  cards  outstanding  and 
available  for  use,  i.e.,  "live  cards,"  so-called,  on  January  31, 
1904,  was  70,138,  as  against  72,815  at  the  corresponding 
date  in  1903.  This  shows  a  loss  of  2,677,  which  may  be 
proportionally  distributed  through  the  Central  Library  and 
branches  and  the  delivery  stations.     This  loss  is  partly  due 


24 


City  Document  No.  24. 


to  the  failure  to  renew  a  considerable  number  of  cards 
issued  to  children  under  12  years  of  age  in  1901.  The 
amount  of  material  handled  by  the  Registration  Department, 
and  the  number  of  persons  whose  needs  have  been  attended 
to  therein,  have  increased  approximately  fifteen  per  cent  as 
compared  with  the  preceding  year,  notwithstanding  the  loss 
in  the  aggregate  number  of  cards  outstanding. 

The  usual  tables  prepared  b}'  Mr.  John  J.  Keenan,  Chief 
of  the  Registration  Department,  showing  in  detail  the 
statistics  of  registration,  may  be  found  in  Appendix  VI.

The  English  fiction  drawn  by  adults  coming  to  the  Central 
Library,  not  applying  through  the  branches  or  stations,  for 
the  year  1903-04,  comprised  107,882  volumes,  as  against 
121,914  volumes,  for  the  year  1902-03. 

The  total  number  of  volumes  recorded  as  issued  for  hall 
use,  chiefly  in  Bates  Hall,  1903-04,  is  3,007,006.* 

LOSS    OF    FICTION    FROM' OPEN    SHELVES. 

Owing  to  the  unusual  loSs  of  novels  from  the  open  shelves 
in  1902-03,  a  closer  supervision  was  provided  this  year. 
During  the  months  of  June,  July,  and  August,  novels  were 
kept  on  the  screen  near  the  desk  of  the  Custodian  of  Bates 
Hall.  Formerly  they  have  been  left  in  the  case  in  the 
Delivery  Room. 

The  loss  of  fiction,  according  to  Shelf  Department  records, 
is  this  year,  221,  as  against  349  volumes  in  1902-03. 

SUMMER    READING. 

During  the  summer  the  experiment  was  made  of  allowing 
certain  books  (not  in  active  demand  and  not  fiction)  to  be 
drawn  and  held  for  three  months  without  incurring  fines. 

A  printed  list  of  nearly  a  thousand  titles  of  biographies, 
histories,  travels,  etc.,  was  issued,  but  in  the  haste  of  com- 
pilation it  was  not  feasible  to  make  a  carefully  selected  list. 
It  may  have  been  due  to  the  fact  that  it  lacked  balance  that 
it  was  not  as  largely  used  as  might  have  been  expected. 
INIore  than  one-half  of  the  number  of  borrowers  who  availed 
themselves  of  the  extended  time  preferred  to  make  requests 

*Thls  does  not  include  the  use  of  books  from  open  shelves  in  Bates  Hall,  the  num- 
ber of  volumes  so  used  being  unrecorded. 


26  City  Document  No.  24. 

for  other  books  than  those  included  in  the  list.  Each  re- 
quest was  examined  to  see  if  the  volume  was  available 
for  issue,  and  then  submitted  to  the  Librarian  for  approval. 
The  issue  was  confined  to  books  in  the  Central  Library.  The 
total  number  of  volumes  issued  under  this  privilege  was  364. 

The  .Children's  Rooms. 

The  Children's  Department  at  the  Central  Library  has 
become  one  of  the  important  agencies  of  our  work.  A  report 
prepared  by  INIiss  Alice  M.  Jordan,  Custodian,  presents  the 
following  statistics  and  other  details  covering  the  operations 
of  the  year : 

ISSUE. 

The  number  of  books  issued  to  applicants  in  the  Children's 
Department  during  the  past  year  was  57,727  as  against 
63,993  for  the  year  previous.  The  number  of  books  issued 
through  the  branches  from  the  Children's  Department  has 
increased  from  12,797  in  1902  to  13,889,  the  highest  figure 
yet  reached  by  daily  issue  to  the  branches.  It  is  interesting 
to  note  that  during  the  months  of  July  and  August  no  fall- 
ing off  is  apparent  from  year  to  year. 

BRANCH    REQUESTS. 

The  decrease  in  the  personal  applications  here  is  undoubt- 
edly due  to  the  expansion  of  the  Branch  and  deposit  system. 
The  Children's  Department  at  the  Central  Library  is  no 
longer  unique  in  providing  accommodations  for  children  —  a 
fact  which  in  tlie  early  days  swelled  tl)e  circulation  and 
crowded  the  rooms.  It  is,  so  far  as  provision  of  books  is 
concerned,  only  one  in  a  large  number  of  agencies  for  juvenile 
supply. 

DEPOSITS. 

So  long  as  books  of  all  kinds  are  provided  by  deposit  to 
schools,  especially  to  those  schools  which  are  near  the 
Librar}^  from  which  the  latter  naturally  draws  its  youthful 
clientele,  there  is  an  additional  cause  for  decrease  in  circula- 
tion from  the  Children's  Department.  Cooperation  between 
the  Branch  and  Children's  Departments  exists,  however,  and 
is  to  be  desired. 

Four  collections  have  this  3'ear  been  sent  from  the  Chil- 
dren's Room  to  Home  Library  groups  under  the  supervision 
of  the  Children's  Aid  Society.  A  new  experiment  is  here 
involved  —  one  for  which  this  department  is  responsible  and 


Library  Department.  27 

which  is  possible  only  to  a  limited  degree  and  under  certain 
definite  conditions.  Requests  for  these  deposits  were  re- 
ceived from  the  older  circles  which  had  read  and  outgrown 
the  extremely  juvenile  books  furnished  by  the  Children's 
Aid  Society.  Three  clubs  of  girls  were  supplied  twenty 
books  each,  the  collection  to  be  kept  at  the  home  of  one  of 
the  members  and  opened  only  by  the  visitor,  once  a  week. 
The  other  group  to  which  books  were  sent  is  a  self-govern- 
ing club  of  boys  —  drivers,  messengers,  etc.,  working  during 
the  day  and  meeting  nightly  in  their  own  club  rooms.  By 
no  other  method  would  the  Library  reach  them. 

Another  established  practice,  easier  to  comply  with  since 
its  employment  is  required  only  in  the  dull  summer  season, 
is  that  of  sending  books  to  the  vacation  schools  and  play- 
grounds. Last  year  eight  collections  of  twenty  books  each 
were  thus  sent. 

WORK    OF     THE    CHILDREN'S    DEPARTMENT     IN    CONNECTION 
WITH    SCHOOLS. 

In  the  face  of  these  problems  of  circulation  it  is  a  gratifica- 
tion to  feel  that  never  has  the  Library  touched  a  greater 
number  of  children  than  during  the*  past  year  —  touched  in 
a  way  that  is  likely  to  make  a  more  lasting,  impression  than 
the  mere  drawing  of  books  from  the  Children's  Rooms. 
Twelve  hundred  and  fifty  pupils  have  listened  to  instruction 
upon  the  Library  and  its  use  in  1903.  These  lessons  have 
taken  the  form  of  a  teaching  exercise,  lasting  forty  or  fifty 
minutes,  and  at  different  times  the  following  subjects  were 
considered  :  Arrangement  of  the  Library  ;  How  to  take  out 
books ;  Use  and  peculiarities  of  the  card  catalogues ;  Ele- 
mentary reference  books  and  how  to  use  them.  One  class, 
which  by  previous  visits  here,  had  already  received  this 
instruction  was  given  simple  advice  on  what  and  how  to 
read . 

Of  the  classes  which  have  thus  visited  this  building,  the 
larger  numbers  have  come  from  the  two  upper  grades 
of  tlie  grammar  schools  in  different  parts  of  the  city. 
Two  classes  from  the  normal  school  have  also  been  present, 
and  from  these  lessons  to  future  teachers  far-reaching 
consequences  may  reasonably  be  expected,  since  much  of 
the  guidance  in  the  use  of  books  belongs  properly  to  the 
teacher.  Occasionally  a  difficulty  arises  because  of  the  great 
distance  from  which  certain  schools  must  come  in  order  to 
reach  the  Library.  In  one  case  this  was  met  by  going  to  the 
school  in  Dorchester  and  giving  practically  the  same  exercise 


28  City  Document  No.  24. 

to  a  class  of  120.  Such  an  arrangement  would  be  gladly- 
accepted  by  not  a  few  others,  but  would  destroy  one  of  the 
prime  objects  in  the  whole  plan,  that  of  bringing  children  to 
the  Library  itself.  Progress  has  been  noticed  not  only  by^  a 
batter  unclerstanding  of  the  use  of  books  and  catalogue  by 
the  children,  but  by  a  wider  knowledge  of  the  children  on 
the  part  of  the  Custodian,  and  an  added  power  to  compre- 
hend their  needs  and  to  help  in  their  school  work. 

FINDING    LIST    OF    CHILDREN'S    BOOKS. 

In  1901  a  reprint  of  the  selected  list  of  juvenile  books 
was  made  to  supply  a  demand  for  a  printed  catalogue  of 
children's  books.  This  list  is  now  rendered  valueless  by  the 
changes  and  additions  of  recent  years.  Work  on  a  new  list 
has  been  confined  to  the  Children's  Department,  and  has  been 
subject  to  unavoidable  delays.  It  is,  however,  now  ready  for 
the  Editor. 

GIFTS    TO    THE    CHILDREN'S    ROOMS. 

It  has  been  a  pleasure  during  the  year  to  see  the  interest 
felt  in  this  department  as  evinced  by  the  gifts  which  it  has 
received  from  v.arious  friends.  In  February  two  casts  were 
given  by^  Miss  Elizabeth  Thacher  of  Roxbury,  figures  from 
the  Luca  della  Robbia  Singing  Gallery.  Miss  Thacher  was 
one  of  the  ladies  who  kept  the  room  bright  with  flowering 
plants  last  winter,  and  wlio  has  given  others  this  year.  We 
are  also  indebted  for  plants  to  Mrs.  John  E.  Hudson,  Miss 
Emily  Osgood,  Mrs.  Francis  Greene  and  ^liss  lieal. 

PICTURE    BULLETINS. 

No  large  exhibits  have  been  held,  but  the  display  of 
picture  bulletins  has  continued.  While  comparatively  little 
labor  has  been  thns  expended,  it  has  been  possible  to  provide 
a  sufficient  number  of  these  bulletins  to  loan  to  stations 
when  wanted. 

Bates  Hall. 

It  is  impossible  to  indicate  the  amount  and  character  of  the 
work  performed  in  Bates  Hall  by  anv  presentation  of 
statistics.  It  is  the  principal  reading  and  reference  room  of 
the  Library  and  large  numbers  are  daily  supplied  there  with 
books  from  the  stacks  or  from  the  open  shelves  in  the  hall 
itself.     The  number  of  volumes  directly  accessible  to  readers 


Library  Department.  29 

from  the  open  shelves  increases  constantly,  and  these  are 
extensively  used.  A  selected  collection  of  the  new  accessions 
is  each  week  placed  upon  the  screen  in  the  catalogue  room. 
The  reference  shelves  have  suffered  a  loss  of  49  volumes 
during  the  year,  while  but  43  volumes  have  disappeared  from 
the  screen.  This  shows  a  considerable  diminution  in  losses 
as  compared  with  previous  years. 

Mr.  Oscar  A.  Bierstadt,  the  Custodian,  reports  as  follows 
upon  certain  phases  of  his  work  that  are  not  perhaps  so 
obvious,  as  that  relating  to  the  distribution  of  books  to 
readers : 

The  attendants  in  the  catalogue  room  devote  part  of  every 
morning  to  looking  up  shelf  numbers  for  readers'  requests 
from  the  branch  libiaries  *  *  *  Man}'  letters  asking 
for  information  have  been  referred  to  this  department.  All 
large  libraries  receive  such  inquiries  in  abundance  *  *  * 
The  re-arrangement  of  the  reference  books  in  Bates  Hall 
may  be  regarded  as  virtually  finished.  One  or  two  sections 
need  some  slight  replenishment,  and  as  new  reference  works 
are  bought  they  must  be  given  a  place  on.  these  shelves  so 
that  individual  changes  will  never  end.  The  reference 
collection  is  believed  now  to  be  second  to  none  in  the 
country. 

Special  Libraries. 

The  following  statements  are  taken  from  the  report  of 
Mr.  Otto  Fleischner,  in  charge  of  the  Special  Libraries : 

ACCESSIONS. 

During  the  year,  3,564  volumes  were  added,  distributed 
as  follows : 

Vols. 

Fine  Arts ,         .  924 

Industrial  Arts 583 

Music,  General  Collection 472 

Music,  Brown  Library 309 

Special  Libraries 992 

U.  S.  Documents 190 

British  Documents 94 

Total 3,564 

There  are  now  located  on  the  Special  Libraries  floor, 
111,428  volumes.  This  number  includes  all  the  State  and 
City  documents  which  were  transferred  during  the  year  to 
relieve  the  stacks,  but  does  not  include  the  collection  of 
maps  and  the  Tosti  engravings. 


30  City  Document  No.  24. 


PHOTOGRAPHS. 

The  sum  of  ^258.44  has  been  expended  for  the  purchase 
of  647  photographs.  There  are  now  in  the  collection  15,818 
photographs,  424  colored  photographs,  and  6,250  process 
pictures. 

The  catalogue  of  the  photographs,  by  artists,  is  kept  up  to 
date,  but  as  yet  no  time  has  been  found  to  make  a  catalogue 
by  subjects. 

The  shelf  and  accession  list  of  photographs  on  cards  has 
been  completed  during  the  year,  and  that  for  the  process 
pictures  is  about  half  completed. 

CIRCULATION. 

There  were  13,820  volumes  issued  for  home  use  from  the 
Fine  Arts  Department  during  the  year.  The  recorded  hall 
use  is  37,800  volumes.  This  does  not  show  the  complete 
use  of  the  books  in  this  department :  for  example,  the 
system  of  laying  out  collections  for  classes  from  the  different 
art  schools  cannot  be  represented  by  statistics.  Such  collec- 
tions remain  on  the  tables  for  days  and  sometimes  for  weeks 
and  frequently  the  same  volume  is  used  by  a  hundred  pupils 
in  succession  while  only  a  single  entry  of  use  may  be 
recorded.  The  custom  of  laying  out  books  for  special  occa- 
sions has  been  continued. 

BOOKS    FOR    THE    BLIND. 

The  collection  of  books  and  curient  periodicals  has  been 
kept  on  the  shelves  and  tables  in  the  south  gallery  for  two 
years  for  the  accommodation  of  the  adult  blind ;  but  there  is 
practically  no  use  made  of  this  collection. 

THE    BARTON-TICKNOR    ROOM. 

During  the  past  year  the  card  catalogues  in  the  Barton- 
Ticknor  Room  have  been  re-arranged.  The  main  catalogue 
was  in  four  sections  formerly ;  these  have  been  combined  so 
that  the  cards  are  now  arranged  under  one  alphabet.  The 
new  case  doubles  the  numlier  of  drawers,  and  gives  room  for 
the  future  growth  of  the  catalogutj.  The  map  catalogue  has 
been  put  into  a  larger  case,  and  brought  out  into  the  desk 
room.  The  cards  have  been  punched  and  fastened  with 
rods. 

The  number  of  books  issued  for  hall  use  during  the  year 
was  12,053  ;  the  number  of  maps,  943. 


Library  Department.  31 

The  use  of  stack  books  in  the  Barton-Ticknor  Room  is 
increasing.  A  record  for  fifty  weeks  gives  a  total  of  7,945, 
with  a  weekly  average  of  158.  Many  of  these  books  are 
reserved  on  the  tables  for  readers  who  come  in  day  after  day. 
According  to  a  record  taken  twice  each  week  the  average 
number  of  books  reserved  has  been  195,  the  smallest  number 
reserved  at  any  one  time  being  20  (June  20,  1908),  the 
largest  342  (March  7,  1903). 

ALLEN    A.    BIIOWN    LIBRARY. 

The  statistics  for  the  Music  Room  are  briefly  as  follows  : 

Volumes  added 309 

Headings  written  on  878  packages  (about  35,000  cards). 

Cards  filed 17,680 

Volumes  catalogued  in  the  Music  Room   ....  112 

A  slight  decrease  in  the  number  of  books  issued  is  probably 
due  to  the  improvement  in  the  catalogue,  which  makes  it 
possible  for  applicants  to  find  exactly  what  they  want  much 
more  readily.  The  effort  to  push  the  catalogue  still  nearer 
com.pletion  has  occupied  the  greater  part  of  the  year's  time, 
and  a  month  or  two  more  will  bring  it  to  an  end.  In  addi- 
tion, the  entire  index  to  Mr.  Brown's  collection  of  magazine 
articles  (about  2,500  cards)  has  been  copied  on  large  cards 
and  revised  so  as  to  be  uniform  with  the  index  to  the  current 
periodicals.  Indexes  have  been  supplied  to  four  volumes  of 
clippings  and  programmes. 

The  additions  during  the  year  have  been  chiefly  prompted 
by  a  desire  to  keep  the  Library  abreast  of  musical  progress 
here  and  in  Europe.  Two  scores  by  American  composers — 
Converse's  "  Festival  of  Pan"  and  Parker's  "  Hora  Novis- 
sima  "  —  and  Dohnany's  Symphony  in  D  minor,  Debressy's 
"•  La  demoiselle  elue,"  and  Elgar's  "  Dream  of  Gerontius " 
are  worthy  of  mention.  The  addition  of  a  volume  of  pro- 
grammes of  concerts  given  by  Theodore  Thomas  in  Boston, 
practically  completes  a  series  of  programmes  of  orchestral 
concerts  in  this  city  from  1833  to  the  present  time.

Department  of  Documents  and  Statistics. 

The  space  allotted  to  this  Department  has  been  much  in- 
creased by  the  opening  of  the  new  Patent  Room,  noted  in  the 
report  last  year.  Under  the  restrictions  which  formerly 
existed,  order,  system,  and  effective  management  were  im- 
possible. Since  the  change,  however,  it  has  been  possible  to 
more  fully  meet  the  needs  of  those  wiio,  in  constantly  increas- 
ing numbers,  use  this  special  collection.  Students  and 
writers  on  subjects  connected  with  economics  and  sociology, 
persons  seeking  commercial,  financial,  and  historical  data, 
attendants  at  colleges  and  schools  who  have  in  preparation 
theses  or  essays,  find  here  material  assistance  in  their  work. 

The  report  of  Mr.  James  L.  Wliitney,  the  Chief  of  this 
Department,  contains  the  following: 

During  the  year  1,080  volumes  have  been  added  as  new 
accessions  or  by  transfer  from  other  departn)ents  of  the 
Library.  The  gifts  through  the  American  Statistical  Asso- 
ciation (whose  library,  placed  in  our  custody,  formed  part  of 
the  original  collection)  numbered  924  volumes  and  about 
2,000  parts.  The  entire  collection,  exclusive  of  the  Con- 
gressional documents  of  the  United  States,  and  the  Parlia- 
mentary documents  of  Great  Britain,  now  numbers  nearly 
11,000  volumes.  To  bring  the  collection  into  order,  and 
make  it  in  its  new  setting  as  accessible  and  helpful  as 
possible,  has  been  the  desire  of  those  in  charge.

Manuscripts. 

The  Chief  of  the  Department  of  Documents  and  Statistics, 
Mr.  Whitney,  has  custody  of  the  general  collection  of  manu 
scripts.  As  to  the  more  important  documents  received  dur" 
ing  the  year,  he  reports  as  follows : 

Prominent  among  the  historical  documents  received  is  a 
collection  of  manuscripts,  once  in  -the  possession  of  the 
Hancock  family,  presented  to  this  Library  by  the  executors 
of  the  will  of  the  late  Alfred  T.  Turner.  These  papers 
number  about  seventy-five,  and  include  letters  written  by 
John  Hancock,  or  to  him,  and  other  contemporary  papers. 
With  these  may  be  mentioned  numerous  letters  from  Gov- 
ernor Shirley,  and  other  prominent  persons  in  the  early 
history  of  New  England,  including  a  letter  from  Governor 
Bellomont  to  Captain  Kidd,  inviting  him  to  come  to  Boston, 
and  promising  to  intercede  with  the  King  for  his  pardon. 

In  the  "Life  and  correspondence  of  Henry  Ingersoll 
Bowditch,  by  his  son,"  is  an  account  of  George  Latimer,  who 
was  held  in  Leverett-street  jail  in  Boston,  as  an  alleged  fugitive 
slave,  and  of  the  efforts  of  Dr.  Bowditch  and  others  in  his 
behalf.  The  documents  issued  at  this  time,  in  manuscript 
and  in  print,  were  preserved  by  Dr.  l^owditch,  and  regarded 
by  him  as  very  significant.  His  son.  Dr.  Vincent  Y.  Bow- 
ditch, has  given  them  to  this  Library. 

From  Miss  Louise  Imogen  Guiney  have  been  received 
copies,  made  from  the  Hardwicke  manuscripts,  of  unpub- 
lished papers  of  Robert  Emmet,  in  regard  to  the  insurrection 
planned  at  Dublin,  July  23,  1803. 

A  brief  list  of  the  manuscript  accessions  acquired  by  pur- 
chase is  as  follows : 

Six  manuscript  journals,  of  some  175  pages  each,  kept  by 
William  Russell  while  a  prisoner  of  war  in  Mill  Prison, 
Plymouth,  England,  1779  to  1782.  (Russell  was  Sergeant- 
Major  of  the  Massachusetts  State  Train  of  Artillery,  raised  for 
the  defence  of  Boston,  under  the  command  of  Col.  Thomas 
Crafts  and  Paul  Revere  in  1777.) 

Lieutenant-Governor  Hutchinson's  Reply  to  the  Committee 
of  fifteen  gentlemen  chosen  in  Town  Meeting  the  morning 
after  the  Massacre,  to  request  him  to  issue  his  orders  for 
the  immediate  withdrawal  of  the  troops.  Manuscript  letter 
signed  by  T.  Hutchinson,  dated  Council  Chamber,  6  March, 
1770. 

Letter  from  Richard  Gridley  to  General  Washington,  dated 
Boston,  December,  1776,  on  the  subject  of  the  fortifications 
around  Boston. 


34  City  Document  No.  24. 

Twenty-four  official  letters,  dated  1774  to  1776,  signed  by 
Governor  Shirley. 

Autograph  letter,  signed,  of  Barlow  Trecothick  to  the

Manuscript  note-book  kept  by  William  Russell  at  the 
home  of  Mr.  Easterbrook  in  Ashburton,  County  of  Devon- 
shire, in  England.  Begun  May  2,  1813.  Contains  also 
"  Account  of  provisions  expended  on  board  the  Cartel-Brig 
Ann  Maria  on  her  passage  from  Dartmouth  to  America  with 
51   prisoners." 

The  orderly  book  of  Nathan  Alden  of  Roxbury,  1776. 

Journals  and  records  of  the  monthly  meetings  of  the  Bos- 
ton Artists'  Association  from  the  beginning  in  1841  to  1851. 
2  vols. 

Original  manuscript  instructions  from  the  Department  of 
State  of  the  Confederacy  to  Wm.  L.  Yancey,  Pierce  A.  Ross 
and  A.  Dudley  iSIann,  Commissioners  to  Great  Britain, 
France,  Russia  and  lielgium.     Signed  by  Robt.  Toombs. 

Letters  of  ^Margaret  Fuller  to  James  Nathan,  1844-46, 
for  the  Galatea  Collection. 

It  may  be  well  to  point  out  that  the  Library  now  contains 
the  following  manuscrij)ts : 

I.  The  Prince  Collection,  which  was  bequeathed  by  the 
Rev.  Thomas  Prince  to  the  Old  South  Church,  and  is  now 
deposited  in  this  T^ibrary.  An  analysis  of  these  manusciipts 
is  in  the  published  Catalogue  of  the  Prince  Library. 

IL  The  Chamberlain  Collection,  bequeathed  to  this  Li- 
brary by  the  Honorable  ]\Iellen  Chamberlain,  its  former  Libra- 
rian. A  description  of  these  manuscripts  has  been  published, 
and  there  is  also  an  author  index  to  a  part  of  them  and  fuller 
descriptions  of  the  remainder.. 

IIL  In  the  Allen  A.  Brown  I^ibrary  of  Music  are  tran- 
scripts of  many  manuscript  orchestral  scores  of  the  great 
composers.     The  catalogue  of  these  is  nearl}^  complete. 

IV.  Most  of  the  manuscripts  added  to  the  general  collec- 
tions of  the  Library  are  enteied  in  the  card  catalogue  in 
Bates  Hall,  under  the  name  of  the  author,  the  subject,  and 
the  heading  "Manuscripts  in  this  Libraiy."  Certain  special 
collections,  more  recently  received,  such  as  the  anti-slavery 
manuscripts,  given  by  the  Garrison  family  and  others,  are 
being  arranged  and  bound. 

The  manuscripts  in  the  Library  can  l)e  consulted  for 
serious  study  under  necessary  restrictions.

The  Patent  Room. 

The  convenience  of  the  new  Patent  Room  is  manifest,  and 
apparently  appreciated  by  those  who  use  it.  The  lighting  is 
excellent,  and  the  location  of  the  room  apart  from  the  more 
frequented  parts  of  the  building  insures  quiet. 

The  catalogue  of  the  patent  collection  is  in  process,  and,  it 
is  expected,  will  be  entirely  revised  and  rewritten  within  the 
coming  j^ear.  Trade  catalogues,  which  are  found  of  use  in 
connection  with  the  patent  collection,  of  which  we  have  but 
few  at  present,  have  been  arranged  and  temporarily  cata- 
logued. It  is  proposed  to  increase  the  number  gradually, 
and  to  index  them  regula^l3^ 

The  number  of  volumes  in  the  Patent  Room  February  1, 
1904,  was  9,740.  During  the  year  the  number  of  books  con- 
sulted was  47,659,  the  number  of  visitors  being  2,937. 

Periodicals. 

No  part  of  the  Library  is  more  constantly  used  than  the 
Periodical  Room,  and  the  attendance  increases  from  year  to 
year.  The  following  statement  permits  a  comparison  between 
the  two  latest  years :

The  number  of  bound  volumes  consulted  during  the  day 
for  each  of  the  two  years  compared  was,  1903-04,  25,651; 
1902-03,  23,557.  The  number  consulted  during  the  even- 
ing and  Sunday,  1903-04,  6,769  ;  1902-03,  6,921.-  The  use 
of  newly  published,  i.e.,  current  periodicals  is  not  registered. 
The  number  of  unbound  back  numbers  consulted  during  the 
day  aggregates  17,796  for  the  year,  and  the  number  con- 
sulted in  the  evening  and  upon  Sunday  10,269. 

Newspapers. 

As  in  the  Periodical  Room,  a  large  attendance  is  usual  in 
the  Newspaper  Reading  Room,  and  on  Sundays  this  room  is 
frequently  too  crowded.  To  a  certain  extent  the  adjacent 
Periodical  Room  is  used  on  such  occasions.  The  number  of 
papers  represented  in   the  room  February  1,  1903,  was  323.

The  Branch  System. 

The  report  of  j\Ir.  Langdon  L.  Ward,  the  Supervisor  of 
Branches  and  Stations,  contains  the  following  statement  as 
to  the  activities  of  the  Branch  system : 

The  total  recorded  circulation  of  the  branch  system,  includ- 
ing the  branch  libraries  and  the  stations,  is  1,158,588 
volumes.  This  represents  a  loss  as  compared  with  the  pre- 
ceding year  of  one  and  four-tenths  per  cent. 

BRANCH    libraries. 

The  total  recorded  circulation  of  the  branch  libraries  this 
year,  742,262  volumes,  is  one  and  tliree-tentlis  per  cent  less 
than  shown  in  the  year  preceding.  The  East  Boston,  South 
Boston,  and  West  End  Branches,  however,  have  gained.  The 
loss  has  been  chiefl}^  in  the  circulation  of  fiction  for  adults, 
where  we  should  expect  to  find  it.  The  following  compari- 
son of  the  average  percentages  of  fiction  and  non-fiction  cir- 
culated from  eight  branches  in  two  successive  years  is  inter- 
esting : 

i;i03-04.  190-2-03. 

Fiction  for  adults 38.0  41.8 

Non-fiction  for  adults 20.3  19.3 

Fiction  for  juvenile  readers         ....      29.2  27.6 

Non-fution  for  juvenile  readers  .         .         .11.6  11.3 

Total  circulation 100.0  100.0 

The  average  percentage  of  fiction,  as  a  whole,  is  68^^  as 
against  69^'^  a  year  ago ;  and  the  percentage  of  fiction 
for  adults  only  is  38^^^  as  against  41^*'^^  a  year  ago. 

It  is  a  matter  of  encouragement  that  the  loss  in  the  recorded 
home  use  of  the  branches  has  been  so  slight.  The  attempt 
to  furnish  adult  readers  witli  standard  fiction  and  as  much 
attractive  non-fiction  as  possible  seems  to  have  had  some 
success.  The  attention  given  to  the  school  children,  also,  is 
a  factor  in  increasing  the  use  of  the  branches. 


Library  Department.  37 

But,  on  the  other  hand,  the  probable  influence  of  deposits 
at  the  schools  in  decreasing  the  total  circulation  should  be 
noted.  For  while  such  deposits  call  attention  to  the  Library 
and  bring  children  to  it,  the  fact  must  be  taken  into  account 
that  the  books  themselves  would  have  had  a  much  greater 
recorded  use  if  they  had  remained  on  the  shelves  of  the 
branch  than  they  receive  under  the  conservative  method  of 
computing  the  school  use.  Thus,  one  custodian,  by  careful 
experiment  in  the  case  of  certain  popular  books  of  which 
there  were  copies  both  at  the  schools  and  at  the  branch,  found 
that  there  was  a  recorded  use  of  such  books  at  the  branch 
of  1,500  for  a  definite  period,  as  against  318  at  the  schools. 

DEPOSIT    WORK. 

To  distribute  collections  of  books  to  the  institutions  of 
their  districts,  chiefly  to  the  schools,  is  now  as  legitimate  a 
function  of  the  branches  as  to  distribute  books  to  individ- 
uals. Eighty-one  different  places  have  been  supplied  this 
year.  Fifty-seven  schools  are  regularly  provided  for  by  the 
branches  as  against  40  last  year.  The  total  number  of  vol- 
umes sent  on  deposit  for  the  year  is  15,187  as  against 
11,107  in  the  year  1902. 

Several  schools  which  were  once  supplied  from  the  Cen- 
tral Library  have  been  assigned  to  branches,  leaving  the 
former  more  free  to  supply  schools  in  the  heart  of  the  city 
and  those  situated  near  reading  rooms,  and  to  meet  the  calls 
for  special  deposits  which  the  branches  cannot  farnish. 
There  are  now  several  districts  in  the  city  in  which  every 
grammar  and  high  school  is  supplied  by  the  branch. 

BRANCH    QUESTIONS. 

The  method  of  instruction  of  employees  by  means  of 
papers  of  questions  on  library  science  as  applied  to  the 
branches  of  this  Library  was  fully  described  in  the  last  annual 
report  of  the  department.  Several  additional  lists  of  questions 
and  answers  have  been  issued  during  the  year.  When  an 
examination  in  Grade  B  for  employees  was  recently  given,  a 
part  of  the  paper  was  based  on  the  branch  questions  which 
had  been  issued  up  tp  that  time.  The  result  in  most  cases 
showed  that  the  questions  had  been  thoroughly  studied. 

PICTURE    BULLETINS    AND    PICTURES. 

The  making  of  picture  bulletins  and  collections  of 
mounted  pictures  has  gone  on  steadily  at  certain  branches, 


38  City  Docujment  Xo.  24. 

and  there  has  been  established  this  year  a  system  for  lending- 
these  bulletins  and  pictures  among  the  branches  and  stations, 
by  which  the  reading  rooms  particularly  will  profit. 

The  monthly  exhibits  of  pictures  from  the  Special  Libra- 
ries have  continued  to  be  of  great  use  at  the  branches  and 
reading  rooms.  The  colored  photographs  are  especially 
popular. 

One  hundred  and  fifty -nine  portfolios  of  pictures  have 
been  sent  to  public  schools,  most  of  them  in  response  to 
applications  through  the  branches  and  stations. 

BOOKS. 

The  new  books  purchased  for  the  branches  number  6,007 
volumes  as  against  4,559  volumes  in  1902.  There  were 
3,513  volumes  of  replacements,  and  in  the  previous  year 
only  2,719  volumes.  The  number  of  volumes  of  current 
fiction  bought  was  972,  representing  90  titles,  as  compared 
with  711  volumes,  with  63  titles,  in  1902-1903. 

HOURS. 

The  branches  were  closed  at  6  P.M.  this  year  from  July 
15  to  August  31  only,  instead  of  from  July  1  to  September 
14.  The  use  from  6  to  8  P.M.  was  good  in  June,  and, 
though  not  large  in  July  and  August,  seemed  sufficient  to 
justify  the  extension  of  hours,  and  perhaps  further  extension. 

Seven  branches  were  opened  on  Sunday  for  the  winter, 
beginning  with  November  as  usual.  The  hours  are  from 
2  to  9  P.M.  instead  of  from  2  to  10  P.M.  as  in  former  years. 
The  Sunday  use  of  the  branches  has  been  more  satisfactory 
during  the  last  three  months  of  the  year  than  during  the 
first  three.  But  while  the  number  of  books  issued  has 
everywhere  increased,  the  percentage  of  adults  who  attend 
shows  a  substantial  decrease  at  four  branches.  In  conse- 
quence of  this,  and  in  order  to  encourage  the  Sunday  use  of 
the  branches  by  adults,  children  under  twelve  years  of  age 
are  hereafter  to  be  entirely  excluded  on  Sundays. 

By  a  recent  decision,  children  under  twelve  years  of  age 
are  also  excluded  after  7  P.]\I.  every  day  from  the  branches 
and  stations. 

REPAIRS    AND    I]\rPROVEMENTS. 

The  interior  of  the  Brighton  Branch  has  been  repainted 
above  the  basement,  tlie  tin  roof  repKaced  by  a  new  one,  the 
brick  and  stone  work  repointed,  and  the  external  wood  work 


Library  Department.  39 

repainted.  At  the  West  End  Branch  the  ceih'ng  has  been 
whitened  and  the  paint  and  woodwork  cleaned  throughout 
the  interior.  The  external  woodwork  also  has  been  repainted 
and  the  roof  thoroughly  repaired.  The  building  of  the  West 
Roxbury  Branch  has  been  repainted  by  the  Public  Buildings 
Department,  and  outside  shutters  placed  on  the  windows  as 
a  protection  against  fire.  The  same  department  has  also 
laid  a  granolithic  walk  from  the  street  to  the  entrance  of 
Curtis  Hall,  where  the  Jamaica  Plain  Branch  has  its 
quarters. 

Ventilators  of  uniform  pattern  have  been  placed  in  several 
branches,  and  have  proved  to  be  of  great  service. 

The  Children's  Room  at  the  South  Boston  Branch  has 
been  enlarged  and  surrounded  by  a  higher  fence.  A  lunch 
room  for  the  employees  has  been  made  by  means  of 
partitions. 

At  the  Dorchester  and  East  Boston  Branches  the  gas 
fixtures  have  been  largely  replaced  by  new  ones,  and  addi- 
tions made.  Additions  have  been  made  to  the  steam- 
heating  apparatus  at  East  Boston. 

MISCELLANEOUS    ACTIVITIES. 

The  registrations  at  the  branches  this  year  are  naturally 
fewer,  since  the  thorough  visitations  to  the  schools  during 
the  past'  two  years. 

Reference  work  with  children  increases  in  importance  at 
the  branches,  with  a  better  supply  of  juvenile  books  and 
greater  interest  in  the  Library  on  the  part  of  the  teachers. 

THE    BRANCH    DEPARTMENT    AND   THE    SCHOOLS. 

The  work  of  the  branch  department  with  the  schools  has 
been  so  fully  described  in  previous  reports  that  there  remains 
little  to  note  this  year  except  its  greatly  increased  volume. 
All  the  former  activities  have  been  continued. 

There  have  been  sent  on  deposit  to  the  public  schools 
during  the  past  year  from  the  Central  Library  and  the 
branches  18,082  volumes,  as  against  12,261  volumes  in 
1902.  There  is,  therefore,  an  increase  of  4:1  per  cent,  which 
represents  not  only  a  much  larger  number  of  teachers  who 
have  been  supplied  but  a  greater  frequency  of  exchange. 

Though  some  questions  remain  to  be  settled,  and  many 
improvements  to  be  made,  the  present  system  seems  satisfac- 
tory to  the  teachers.  Under  it  they  receive  freely,  so  far  as 
the  resources  of  the  Library  permit,  just  what  they  need  for 
their  classes,  with  only  so  much  formality  as  the  safety  of 


40  City  Document  No.  24. 

the  books  requires.  When,  as  is  often  the  case,  the  request 
from  a  teacher  is  general  in  its  nature,  the  books  are  chosen 
by  the  custodian.  To  avoid  burdening  the  teachers  the  use 
of  the  books  is  estimated,  but  well  within  the  limit  of  actual 
use  as  determined  by  various  tests. 

STATIONS. 

The  total  circulation  of  the  stations,  schools,  and  institu- 
tions is  419,523  volumes,  which  is  one  and  six-tenths  per 
cent  less  than  the  number  of  volumes  circulated  in  1902. 
The  reading  rooms  A,  B,  C,  F,  and  U,  and  the  shop  stations 
M  and  Q  show  a  gain.  No  change  has  taken  place  during 
the  year  in  the  number  or  location  of  the  shop  stations. 

SERVICE    STATIONS. 

A  new  reading  room.  Station  22,  the  North  Street  Reading 
Room,  was  opened  on  June  9  at  the  North  End,  in  a  large 
room  of  the  Guild  House  of  St.  Charles  Borromeo.  The 
use  of  the  room,  together  with  light,  heat,  and  service,  was 
given,  through  the  agency  of  the  Rev.  Roberto  Biasotti, 
rector  of  the  Italian  Church  of  the  Sacred  Heart,  by  the 
Society  of  St.  ^Nlark.  The  placards  announcing  the  opening 
were  printed  in  Italian  as  well  as  English.  The  reading 
room  has  a  small  permanent  collection  of  Italian  books  and  a 
considerable  deposit  of  Italian  fiction,  as  well  as  books  in 
English.  Besides  the  usual  periodicals,  four  Italian  maga- 
zines and  two  Italian  newspapers  are  received  regularly. 
The  station  is  open  every  day  from  1  P.M.  to  6  P.M.,  and 
on  Tuesdays,  Thursdays,  and  Saturdays  from  7  P.M.  to  9 
P.M.  With  the  establishment  of  this  reading  room  the 
number  of  service  stations  becomes  fourteen.  It  should  also 
be  noted  that  Station  22  is  the  sixth  cooperative  station  of 
the  Library,  the  others  being  Stations  C,  N,  S,  U,  and  W. 
The  use  of  the  station  by  adults,  though  not  so  great  as 
could  be  wished,  seems  to  be  increasing.  The  total  circula- 
tion for  the  month  of  January  was  1,120  volumes,  which 
was  more  than  that  of  Stations  A,  D,  H,  L,  ]\I,  Y,  and  Z 
for  the  same  month. 

The  increase  of  the  service  stations  in  numbers,  equip- 
ment, and  functions  has  been  fully  noticed  in  the  recent 
annual  reports  of  this  department.  Since  1897,  no  shop 
station  has  been  established,  while  two  shop  stations  have 
been  converted  into  reading  rooms  and  one  abolished.  But  it 
is  noteworthy  that  no  new  station  since  1897  has  been  estab- 


Library  Departivient.  41 

lished,  nor  any  station  changed  in  essential  character,  with- 
out either  municipal  or  private  cooperation  with  the  Library 
in  the  matter  of  expense. 

It  is  with  municipal  aid  that  the  next  reading  room  is 
likely  to  be  opened,  at  Upham's  Corner,  where  the  city  has 
provided  a  large  room  for  the  Library  in  the  new  municipal 
building  on  Columbia  road.  The  furniture  asked  for  has 
been  already  installed,  but  a  considerable  collection  of  books 
will  be  needed. 

Plans  have  been  drawn  for  a  city  building  at  Codman 
square,  Dorchester,  for  which  an  appropriation  of  $35,000  is 
available,  and  in  which  rooms  are  to  be  provided  for  the 
Library.  The  books  of  the  permanent  collection  of  Station  B, 
the  Roslindale  Reading  Room,  now  number  nearly  3,000 
volumes.  Its  circulation  for  the  year  is  over  43,000  volumes. 
The  reading  room  has  had  a  considerable  amount  of  new 
shelving  this  year.  A  regular  assistant  has  been  appointed. 
The  hours  have  been  extended,  so  that  the  station  is  open 
continuously  from  2  to  9  P.M.  The  charging  system  which 
is  in  use  in  the  branches  has  been  installed. 

At  the  other  large  reading  rooms,  Mt.  Bowdoin,  Broadway 
Extension,  and  Roxbury  Crossing,  conditions  in  general  are 
excellent. 

At  Station  W,  by  meetings  held  under  the  auspices  of  the 
Industrial  School,  and  by  a  deposit  of  books  on  sociological 
subjects,  placed  in  the  reading  room  for  adults,  the  interest 
of  the  teachers  and  educators  of  the  district  has  been  much 
increased.  The  Library  sent  a  deposit  of  books  to  be  used 
in  connection  with  Mr.  Copeland's  lectures  on  English  litera- 
ture at  the  Hancock  School.  Several  Italian  newspapers 
have  been  sent  regularly  of  late  from  the  Central  Library. 
A  continued  effort  has  been  made  to  attract  adults,  and  with 
some  success. 

Owing  to  the  pressing  needs  of  the  branches  and  of  the 
deposit  collection,  the  service  stations  have  received  as  addi- 
tions to  their  permanent  collections  only  1,519  volumes  this 
year  as  against  1,890  volumes  in  1902.  But  Stations  B  and 
P  have  had  more  than  last  year,  and  Station  F  has  had  94 
volumes.  The  smaller  reading  rooms  have  already,  however, 
very  serviceable  collections  of  reference  books,  though  these 
need  to  be  enlarged. 

There  are  missing  from  the  permanent  collections  of  the 
service  stations  109  volumes,  as  against  59  in  1902  ;  from 
the  deposit  books,  Central  and  branch,  101  volumes,  as 
against  173  volumes  in  1902.  A  large  number  of  the 
missino:  books  are  from  Stations  F  and  P. 


42  City.  Document  No.  24. 

The  monthly  meetings  of  custodians,  useful  as  a  means  of 
instruction,  have  been  continued.  The  Branch  Questions 
and  Answers  are  sent  to  all  custodians  of  service  stations. 

Records  of  the  property  of  the  Library  at  each  service  sta- 
tion have  been  made  by  the  custodians  and  verified  by  the 
Central  Library  records. 

In  the  course  of  a  fire,  the  walls  and  ceilings  of  Station  D 
were  damaged  by  water.  They  have  since  been  re-tinted  by 
the  trustees  of  the  building.  The  work  of  the  station  was 
only  partially  interrupted  for  two  or  three  days. 

OTHER    AGENCIES. 

The  Franklin  Park  Reading  Room  has  a  recorded  circula- 
tion for  the  year  of  nearly  5,000  volumes,  if  the  home  use  of 
the  periodicals  furnished  by  the  Park  Commissioners  be 
included  with  that  of  the  books  of  the  Library.  This  is 
about  two-thirds  of  the  circulation  of  the  smallest  station  of 
the  Library  system,  yet  the  use  of  the  -reading  room  may  be 
estimated  to  be  about  double  what  it  was  in  the  first  months. 
The  lack  of  artificial  light,  which  compels  early  closing  in 
winter,  is  a  drawback.  It  is  chiefly  adults  who  use  the  read- 
ing room.  The  deposit  of  Library  books  has  been  increased 
to  500  volumes,  and  includes  a  small  set  of  reference  books 
which  were  bought  specially  for  this  purpose  in  February 
last.  The  reading  room  was  rearranged  and  made  more  con- 
venient last  June  by  the  Park  Commissioners,  in  consulta- 
tion with  the  Library.  They  still  provide  the  means  for  a 
delivery  from  the  Central  Library  three  times  a  week. 

Two  engine-houses  have  been  added  to  our  list,  and  two 
Home  Libraries,  on  account  of  exceptional  conditions,  are 
being  supplied  for  the  first  time. 

The  Anna  Ticknor  Library  furnishes,  in  part  at  least,  the 
books  for  several  institutions,  among  them  tlie  A\''ells  Memo- 
rial Institute  and  the  People's  Institute. 

A  deposit  of  500  volumes  has  been  sent  to  the  Plant  Shoe 
Factory,  and  they  have  circulated  well  among  the  2,700  em- 
ployees. Mr.  Plant  has  bought  duplicate  copies  of  many  of 
the  books.  The  manager  aims  to  apply  commercial  methods 
to  the  circulation  of  books,  and  advertises  them  in  various 
ingenious  ways.  To  the  Social  Club  for  the  employees  at 
Messrs.  Filene's  store,  the  Library  has  sent  125  volumes. 
At  the  last  exchange  the  social  secretary  reported  that  con- 
siderable interest  had  been  shown  in  tlie  books.  Both  the 
above  deposits  are  experiments.  In  each  case  the  conditions 
are  unusual  and  very  interesting.

DEPOSIT    WORK. 


There  have  been  sent  out  on  deposit  from  the  Central 
Library  through  this  department  during  the  past  year,  35,727 
volumes,  as  against  31,382  volumes  in  1902,  the  gain 
being  14  per  cent.  Forty-five  per  cent  of  these  books 
were  fiction,  while  last  year  the  percentage  was  46.  The 
additions  to  the  deposit  collection  number  4,346  volumes,  as 
against  5,618  last  year.  But  as  the  Anna  Ticknor  Collection 
is  included  in  the  latter  number,  the  additions  for  specific 
needs  are  much  greater  this  year.  The  net  gain  of  the 
deposit  collection  is  3,200  volumes,  1,146  volumes  having 
been  condemned.  Books  devoted  to  such  uses  as  these 
naturally  wear  out  very  fast.  The  collection  now  consists 
of  24,421  volumes,  but  is  not  yet  adequate  to  the  work 
which  it  performs.  All  but  two  volumes  were  accounted  for 
at  the  shelf  reading,  and  one  of  these  this  department  has  no 
record  of  having  received.  The  shelf  reading  of  the  Anna 
Ticknor  Collection  has  not  yet  taken  place.  This  collection 
has  proved  valuable  and  has  a  moderate  use.  Probably 
from  800  to  1,000  of  its  volumes  are  out  on  deposit  at 
present. 

The  deposit  work  responds  more  readily  to  initiative  and 
guidance  than  the  daily  issue,  and  hence  steadily  progresses. 
It  is  more  satisfactory  than  last  year,  both  in  the  frequency 
and  nature  of  the  requests  received  and  in  our  ability  to 
meet  them.  The  reference  work  done  by  some  of  the  assist- 
ants is  of  a  high  order. 

THE   DAILY   ISSUE. 

The  daily  issue  to  the  branches  and  stations  from  the 
Central  Library  amounts  this  year  to  100,538  volumes,  and 
represents  a  loss  of  seven  and  three-tenths  per  cent.  For 
the  last  four  months,  however,  the  issue  shows  an  average 
increase  of  four  per  cent  a  month.  The  percentage  of  un- 
successful cards  is  forty-six  and  six  tenths,  the  same  as  that 
of  last  year.  The  loss  has  been  due,  therefore,  to  decreased 
applications. 

The  decrease  aggregates  8,016  volumes,  classified  as 
follows : 

Fiction  for  juvenile  readers 3,250 

Non-fiction  for  juvenile  readers 2,439 

Fiction  for  adults 737 

Non-fiction  for  adults 1,590 

The  proportions  of  fiction  and  non-fiction  in  the  books 
issued  are  as  follows  :

Total  circulation 100.0  100.0 

The  decrease  is  therefore  chiefly  in  the  books  for  juvenile 
readers,  both  fiction  and  non-fiction.  The  deposits  at  the 
schools  may  partly  account  for  this,  and  the  lack  of  a  printed 
uvenile  list  has  had  an  important  influence.  But  the  disap- 
pointments caused  by  lack  of  sufficient  copies  at  the  Central 
Library  must  not  be  overlooked.  It  should  not  l)e  forgotten 
that  the  branches  play  a  very  small  part  in  the  daily  issue,  the 
overwhelming  majority  of  applications  coming  from  stations 
where  there  is  a  very  small  supply  of  books  of  any  class. 
This  makes  the  claim  of  borrowers  upon  the  Central  Library 
a  strong  one. 

A  systematic  examination  into  the  unsuccessful  applica- 
tions was  begun  last  May  and  continued  from  month  to 
month,  with  the  purpose  of  supplying  deficiencies  by  recom- 
mending duplicates,  at  least  of  the  non-fiction,  of  good  qual- 
ity which  was  most  in  demand.  Many  additional  copies  of 
such  books,  including  juveniles,  were  recommended  and 
bought.  Possibly  this  action  may  have  had  a  small  part  in 
the  recent  increase  of  the  issue.  It  is  almost  certain  that 
the  new  English  Prose  Fiction  List  has  had  an  influence  by 
encouraging  accurate  applications  for  books  which  could  be 
furnished. 

It  is  interesting  to  note  that  while  the  circulation  of 
fiction  for  adults  has  declined  both  absolutely  and  relatively 
at  the  branches,  in  the  issue  from  the  large  Central  collec- 
tion, by  means  of  written  applications,  it  has  gained  relatively, 
and  declined  very  little  absolutely.

DISTRIBUTION    OF    PERIODICALS. 

Twenty-one  thousand  and  twenty-five  copies  of  periodicals 
have  been  distributed  as  usual  to  city  institutions  as  against 
20,325  copies  in  1902. 

COST    OF    BRANCHES    AND    STATIONS. 

The   aggregate  expense   of  the  branches   for  the  year  is 

1,745.30,  an  increase  of  $5,266.52  as  compared  with  the 
preceding  year.  The  principal  items  of  increase  are  :  Admin- 
istration, $1,134.53  ;  books  and  periodicals,  $2,106.21 ;  fuel, 
$2,992.09  ;  repairs,  $2,434.61.  The  increase  in  expense  of 
administration,  comprising  the  amount  paid  for  services,  is 
unavoidable  with  the  increase  in  the  demands  of  the  service ; 
and  the  expenditure  for  books  and  periodicals  justifies  itself 
in  the  legitimate  enlargement  of  the  collection  and  in  fact 
is  not  greatly  larger  than  in  1901.  The  unprecedented 
increase  in  the  amount  spent  for  fuel  is  due  not  only  to  the 
high  price  of  coal  but  to  the  fact  that  no  large  purchases 
were  made  in  the  preceding  year.  The  increase  in  the  expen- 
diture for  repairs  is  due  largely  to  extensive  repairs  carried 
out  at  the  Brighton  and  West  End  Branches.  The  amount 
expended  for  furniture  shows  a  decrease  of  $1,119.54  as 
compared  with  the  preceding  year. 

The  cost  of  the  stations  for  the  year  was  $21,567.11,  or 
$256.68  less  than  for  the  preceding  year.  This  does  not 
include  the  cost  of  distribution  to  the  schools  and  engine- 
houses  which  was  $355.34  as  against  $251.15  in  1902;  these 
small  amounts  representing  chiefly  the  proportional  shares  of 
the  expense  of  the  delivery  wagons. 

There  has  been  an  expenditure  of  $1,043.13  for  the  new 
North  Street  Reading  Room,  but  no  other  important  new  item.

Sunday  and  Evening  Service. 

The  usual  evening  service  has  continued  throughout  the 
year.  The  Sunday  attendance  contuiues  large,  the  circula- 
tion gaining  from  year  to  year.  Following  the  practice  of 
recent  years  the  Library  has  been  opened  in  the  afternoon 
and  evening  on  two  holidays  (Washington's  Birthday  and 
Patriot's  Day),  with  a  slight  increase  in  circulation  on 
each.  ]Mr.  Frank  C.  Blaisdell,  Chief  of  the  Sunday  and  Eve- 
ning Service,  has  prepared  the  tables  which  follow,  showing 
comparisons  of  circulation  upon  Sundays  and  holidays  for  the 
years  1903-04  and  1002-03.

REPORT     OF     THE    EXAMINING    COMMITTEE 
FOR     1903-1904. 


The  Chairman  of  the  Examinms;  Committee  for  1903-04,  Hon. 
Charles  S.  HamUn,  has  transmitted  to  the  Trustees  the  reports  of 
the  sub-committees,  from  which  the  following  are  taken,  embody- 
ing the  suggestions  or  conclusions  based  upon  the  examination  of 
the  Library. 

1.  Administration  (Rev.  James  N.  Supple,  Chairman). — 
Your  committee  visited  the  Central  Library  in  all  its  departments. 
Our  examination  was  necessarily  superficial  and  somewhat  hast}', 
yet  we  could  not  fail  to  see  the  great  machinery  of  this  institution 
working  in  its  quiet  and  systematic  manner  as  one  body.  Good 
order,  discipline,  and  attention  to  duty  are  very  noticeable.  The 
public  is  well  served,  and  the  wants  of  all  supplied.  We  appre- 
ciate the  magnitude  of  the  work,  and  conse(iuently  give  i)raise, 
well  merited,  to  those  who  have  brought  it  to  the  perfection  it  has 
now  attained. 

2.  .  Branches  and  N'ew  Modes  of  Distribution  (Rev.  James 
A.  Walsh,  Chainnan). — This  committee  recommends:  a.  A 
larger  supply  of  standard  fiction,  b.  Greater  dui)lication  of  copies 
of  books  in  active  demand.  c.  Prompt  replacement  of  books 
reported  as  missing  from  the  shelves,  d.  An  enlarged  appropri- 
ation for  salaries  at  the  branches,  e.  A  new  reading-room  in 
Ward  19.  /".  AVidcr  advertising  of  the  advantages  presented  by 
the  branches  and  stations. 

General  Hazard  Stevens  of  the  connnittee  presented  an  inili- 
vidual  report  embodying  the  result  of  his  personal  visits  to 
various  branches,  and  suggesting  various  improvements,  especially 
the  more  extended  use  of  plants  and  i)ictures  at  the  reading 
rooms  to  make  them  more  attractive,  larger  jiurchases  of  books 
for  certain  statiuns  ;  and  remedial  measures  to  diminish  the  pro- 
portion of  unsuccessful  card  applications  for  books  from  the 
Central  Library  from  ai)plicants  through  the  branches  and  stations. 

3.  Catalogues.,  JiuUetins,  and  I^^inding  Lists  (Hon.  John 
Lathroi",  C/iairinan). —  The  sub-connuittee  finds  this  dei)artment 
of  the  Library  in  good  condition,  and  the  work  satisfactorily 
done. 

4.  T^tnance  (Mr.  J.  Montgomery  Sears,  Chairman).  —  The 
present  Library  building  covers  an  area,  approximately,  of  51,000 
square  feet.  The  old  Library  building  on  Boylston  street  covered 
about  12,000  square  feet.  The  area  in  scjuare  feet,  therefore,  of  the 
new  Library,  is  over  four  times  greater  tlian  tliat  of  the  old 
Boylston  street  building.  The  yearly  a])]noiiriation  of  the  city 
when  the    Library  Avas    in    the    old    building  (1894),  was  about. 


Library  Department.  49 

S180,000.  The  appropriation  for  the  j^ear  1902-03  was  $300,000, 
not  twice  the  amount  appropriated  in  1894.  When  the  Library 
occupied,  the  old  building  in  1894  there  were  employed  in  all 
its  branches  185  persons.  There  were  employed  in  1902-03 
in  all  branches  about  378  persons.  To  sustain  the  branch 
libraries  and  stations,  which  have  increased  greatly,  new  books 
are  constantly  needed ;  there  is  also  the  extra  expense  of  rent, 
binding,  cataloguing,  and  transportation  of  books  between 
the  Central  Library  and  its  branches  and  delivery  stations. 
The  repair  items  have  increased  from  about  $3,600  in  1895  to 
$15,400  in  1902-03.  Salaries  have  increased  from  $94,139.34 
in  1894  to  about  $191,350.44.  The  character  of  the  office  in  the 
Library  should  determine  the  amount  of  the  salary,  and  not  the 
person  holding  the  office.  This  increase  in  salaries  is  largely  due 
to  increased  help,  both  in  the  Central  Library  and  the  new 
branches.  With  all  this  increase  in  expense,  the  increase  in 
yearly  appropriations  has  not  been  proiwrtionate.  The  Board  of 
Trustees  give  their  ser\dces,  and  their  task  is  not  a  light  one. 
They  do  their  work  well ;  and  as  the  Library  is  for  the  City  of 
Boston,  the  City  of  Boston  can  ill  afford  to  be  other  than  very 
liberal  in  carrying  on  this  good  work. 

5.  Printing  and  Binding  (Mk.  D.  O.  S.  Lowell,  Chair- 
man). —  The  Committee  on  Printing  and  Binding  finds  that  the 
new  linotype  machine  has  done  excellent  work,  but  that  it  should 
he  supplemented  by  the  purchase  of  a  new  press,  in  order  to 
prevent  the  congestion  of  work.  As  arrangements  can  be  made 
so  that  an  automatic  rotary  press  may  be  bought  on  the  instalment 
plan,  the  committee  repeats  its  recommendation  of  last  year,  that 
such  a  press  be  bought  as  soon  as  possible. 

The  work  in  the  Bindery  is  in  a  thoroughly  satisfactory  condi- 
tion. 

6.  Fine  Arts  (Mr.  Frederic  P.  Vinton,  Chairman). — The 
committee  suggested  the  addition  of  certain  Fine  Art  periodicals ; 
more  extended  advertising  of  the  resources  of  the  Art  Depart- 
ment, and  the  purchase  of  the  larger  carbon  reproductions  of  the 
works  of  the  masters,  to  be  systematically  arranged  under  the 
advice  of  artists  to  be  appointed  by  the  Trustees. 

7.  Books  (Mr.  John  C.  Gray,  Chairman.) — The  com- 
mittee has  examined  especially  the  selection  of  new  books  placed 
in  Bates  Hall,  and  has  been  much  pleased  with  the  wide  variety 
and  judicious  choice. 

The  committee  has  but  one  suggestion  to  make.  The  practice 
of  bookbinding,  not  merely  as  a  useful  but  as  a  fine  art,  is 
ra})idly  increasing  in  this  city,  and  in  no  art  are  good  examples 
more  instructive.  The  committee  is  aware  how  expensive  good 
specimens  of  binding  by  the  great  masters,  either  ancient  or 
modern,  have  l)ecome.  The  Library,  although  it  has  some 
remarkable  pieces  of  bookbinding,  is,  upon  the  whole,  not  rich  in 
this  respect.  We  think  the  acquisition  of  beautiful  bindings,  so 
far  as  a  moderate  expenditure  will  permit,  would  answer  to  a  real 
need.

APPENDIX   VIII. 


TRUSTEES    FOR    FIFTY-TWO    YEARS. 

The  Hou.  Edward  Everett  was  President  of  the  Board  of 
Trustees  from  1852  to  1864;  George  Tickuor  in  1865;  William 
W.  Greenough,  from  1866  to  April,  1888;  from  May  7,  1888, 
to  May  12,  1888,  Prof.  Henry  AV.  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  councilmen,  and  six  citizens 
at  large,  two  of  w^hom  retired,  unless  reelected,  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 
Maj^or.
