Twentieth Report of the Free Public Library Commission of Massachusetts (1909)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Sixteen of the traveling libraries are known as " special libraries," and consist of collections of books on Elorence, Borne, Venice and Egypt; French, Spanish, Dutch, German, Italian and Greek art; English architecture, Shakespeare, travel in French, religion, arts and crafts, and health.There have been several calls for books on the English poets, and a small library on Browning is now in preparation, to be followed, if the demand continues, by others of similar character.There are fourteen juvenile libraries, which meet with con tinued popularity.One at Knightville, a little village of Hunt ington, had a circulation of 342.The four Audubon libraries have been to Essex, Monterey, North Beading, Bockport, Spencer, Wales and Webster, with a circulation, of 308, which, as usual, does not represent their real value, as they were often used in schools.The traveling libraries have proved of great service to study clubs and other organizations, especially when supplemented, as they often are, by reading, or lectures by competent scholars or by those who have had the privilege of foreign travel.Twenty-four sets of pictures have been in use during the year, and have made 133 visits to 95 places.These sets com prise " Eastern and Western Switzerland," " From Naples to Paestum," " Queer Things seen across the Sea," " Grand Can yon of Colorado," " Yosemite Valley," " Fishes and Birds," " Woman in Art in All Ages," " Canadian Pacific Bailroad," " Japan," " Alaska," " Glimpses of Europe," " New England Birds," " Hawaii," " Across the Continent," " Birds and Beasts," " Venetian Art," " Grand Canyon of Arizona," " India," " Art Museum Copies," " Gardens of Italy," " Borne," " English Water-colors" and " Walter Crane's Fairy Tales."The two Swiss sets are very popular.A letter from Heath says.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
