Number of volumes in library 1703 . Number of volumes taken<br />
out for the year ending March 1, 1891, 3575. Largest number of<br />
books issued any one evening, 81 . Least number, 30. Average,<br />
50. The books may be classified as follows : History, 287 volumes<br />
; Travels and adventures, 181 ; Biography, 182 Fiction,<br />
582 ; Poetry, 61 ; Natural History, 41 ; Science, 37 ; Agriculture,<br />
28 ; Moral and religious, 49 ; Miscellaneous.<br />
While there has been a decrease in the number of volumes circulated,<br />
it is gratifying to notice an increasing interest in works of
15<br />
history and travels . This result is partly due to the course adopted<br />
by your committee in purchasing works of fiction, based on or<br />
illustrating some fact or incident in history, and the reader thus<br />
becoming interested and wishing to know more of the subject,<br />
has procured and read historical works he otherwise would not<br />
have become interested in.<br />
It also has been the earnest endeavor of your committee to exclude<br />
every book not of a strictly moral tone, or that would be apt<br />
to leave a harmful impression on the mind of a youthful reader.<br />
And while we regard with pride our fine schools, and the opportunities<br />
they offer to the young for obtaining an education, every<br />
citizen should be just as interested in having a good library in our<br />
midst, for it is second only to the common schools as a means for<br />
creating a greater degree of intelligence in a community, and in a<br />
certain measure is more far-reaching than even the public school.<br />

For High School Board.
School Report.<br />
Our school system aims not so much to aid the coming man and<br />
woman to earn their living, as to promote the intelligence, good<br />
order, happiness and prosperity, of communities. The many need<br />
the habits of systematic industry and quick observation, the ready<br />
subordination to wholesome law, the democratic spirit, which regular<br />
and judicious training in the common school tends to foster.<br />
We would urge parents to personally inspect our schools<br />
frequently to see that they are answering the end for which they have been<br />
established, to call the attention of the proper officials to discoverable<br />
defects and to encourage and stimulate pupils and teachers<br />
whenever found worthy of praise.<br />
This year has been one of change in our school system ; the<br />
introduction of the free text book . In regard to the wisdom<br />
of the change and its success, we can give it our approval<br />
and speak in the highest terms of its workings . The year has<br />
proved that it can be improved to the best advantage of our schools.<br />
Many needful books and other needful supplies have been<br />
furnished, that would not have been, under the old system, and in consequence<br />
better work and more of it has been done by the scholars<br />
and teachers.<br />
All pupils stand on an equal footing. Your committee desire to<br />
improve the condition of our schools by providing everything that<br />
shall aid our scholars to keep pace with the age . Books in the<br />
schools have been well taken care of, and supplies have not been<br />
wasted.<br />
We regret that so many changes in our teachers have been necessary<br />
during the year. No teacher can do her best work the first<br />
term, thorough acquaintance is essential on the part of scholar and<br />
teacher and takes time, therefore if equally good are secured it is a<br />
disadvantage.<br />
The winter term has again been unfavorable for a full attendance,<br />
not on account of illness among pupils, but from the fear of a contagious<br />
disease and a severe winter. Notwithstanding this, the attendance<br />
has been fair at the High School with resident pupils .

We consider our schools are in a comparatively prosperous condition<br />
and are generally under the direction of earnest, faithful,<br />
competent teachers ; and are composed of obedient, intelligent and<br />
happy pupils, and that they maintain an honorable name in comparison<br />
with other schools and constitute one of the most valuable<br />
blessings of our community . Let us regard them with pride and<br />
cherish them with paternal care.<br />
