The law makes it your duty to see that
the reports of the district clerks are proper
ly made. In the past my report has been
greatly DELAYED every year from ron me the 1 not
been full and accurate. In most cases THIS
has been caused from lack of Information
in the reports Of the district CLERKS, and one
of the purposes of this pamphlet has been
to furnish such information to the olstrlCt
officers as will enable them to furnish re-
ports that are correct and tull. IN the ~
ture when incomplete and inaccurate re-
ports are received from district clerks do
not incorporate them in your report to me
before having them corrected.
Before making selections of Ii br airy books
for this year would respectfully request
that you read and consider the remarks
made in my last report to the county board
under head of school libraries. Blanks for
the purpose indicated will be sent you about
April 18TH. apdI would add the suggestion
that where convenient the town clerk might
appoint some Saturday On which to meet
the teachers Of the town for the purpose Of
considering selections.
