The following is the report of Ii
brarian b. B. Il. Kent of the Vermont
Historical society for the year 1919;
| To the Hon. William w. Stickney
President of the Vermont Histor-
zeal Society
Sir 1t is my good fortune once again
| to deliver for your Consideration my
report as your librarian for the year
ending in January, 1920, the first en-
tire year spent in our new quarters.
During the II months just passed
have had two assistants.
Miss Bishop, who came into our EN-
ploy in January, 1918, left us on Sept.

Atlanta, Ga | cannot speak too highly
of her hard and conscientious work
during the period when we were pre-
pairing to move, when we were moving,
and the even more difficult months of
settling.
While. of course, had supervision of
it all | had but too little time to give
to the long weeks of detail work, and
it certainly constantly required the in
telligence Of some such person as was
she, even to undertake the task.
was fortunate enough within a
fortnight following Miss Bishops going
away to secure the services of Miss Re
becca w. Wright of Montpelier, a WON
an thoroughly informed as to library
work and, as well, eonversant to some
considerable extent with Vermontiana.
She is most excellent person for our
needs. She has, however, mainly trained
herself for organizing" library work;
and, that part of her calling appealing
more strongly to her, we engaged her

Our belongings are now excellently
arranged. There remains some consid-
cradle cataloguing and more or less
wedding out" TO be done. BY the lat
ter, mean that we find, as do all Ii
braTies Of our size, sources and age,
that good many duplicate books and
pamphlets accumulate; and at some
early date ! strongly recommend a
proper and legal disposal of this matter.
Situated as we are, in pretentious

summer callers are many. Our posi-
ton in the building is a most happy
one also. To the stranger and others,
the first thing that greets the eye as
one enters the building is the large oil
painting of Washington in the far dis
lance, which picture hangs on the far
Their wall OF our room and could almost
be seen from the street. While it may
be unethical to use the immortal George
for advertising purposes, ! still feel that
his likeness, hanging where il does, IS
one Of our very best assets.
Fifty people visit this room, where
one did in the state Capitol. Miss
Wright. from the first day she came,
has kept an account of the number OF
visitors. and we learn that in four even
800 men. women and children
have entered our doors. This Is an
average of 1919 annually. The count

Italian army, he was enabled to gather
and leave here some things when II
might be difficult TO secure elsewhere
We have also been fortunate enough to
have had a temporary loan of war rel
les from the wife of Col. Ira A. Reeves
which he secured and which, of course
were loaned to us with his knowledge
and consent. These, after being on ex-
hibition for six months, we have within
the week returned TO Mrs. Reeves.
have been approached within three
weeks with the proposition OF the loan
of large amount of Russian material
and relics, all of which must be OF in
tense interest and value, as il was
gathered by an American citizen who
has been in Russia until November, last.

secure this collection, but our available
space seems inadequate.

the librarian and custodian OF the be-
longings of our society. The work has
ever been and ever would be of intense
and increasing interest to me. For
some six years had no assistant, and
every detail of the work was done nee
essarily alone; and evenings, Sundays
and holidays had largely to be given up
to this place Since Jan. 81, 1918, there
has been an assistant, but as my work
