To the School Committee of Yarmouth: This report, which is the second I have -had the honor to make, and which is the nineteenth in the series of the district superintendent's reports, has these ends in view: To briefly record progress made in improving the 'school sys- tem and school property. - To point out ways in which the school department may minis- ter yet more efficiently to the needs of our children. And to discuss at some length a few questions of importance in school administration. Changes in the High School... Early last spring the .position of assistant was created and filled by the election of Miss Maud P. Thayer, a graduate of Boston University and a teacher of some experience. This long needed addition to the teaching force resulted immediately in an improvement in the industry and scholarship of the school. While there is yet much to be desired in these particulars, the longer recitation periods, the closer personal oversight of the pupils, and the larger opportunity for the instructors to specialize upon their subjects now possible will result, I believe, in.. continued improvement. Principal Lane having resigned early in the spring term, he was succeeded by Mr. Howard W. Howes,'wbo came to us after a successful experience as principal of the Harwich high school. Upon authority being granted by your board, the teacher of cooking and sewing has' been employed one day more each week, the extra service being given to the high school. It is our hope that we may now develop a course in dressmaking,, milli- 6 eery, and advanced cooking, that shall have these aims: first, to make girls more capable home -makers, able not only to do plain sewing, but also to make their own dresses, trim their own Bats, to cook food wholesomely with an eye to its economy, nutri- trive and digestive values, and to be intelligent with regard to household sanitation; second, to afford those girls who are desirous of learning the trade of dressmaker or milliner an op- portunity to do so; third, to prepare those girls who wish to become domestic science teachers, professional matrons or house- keepers for institutions like Simmons College and Pratt Insti- tute, just as we now fit them for the classical and scientific courses of colleges and for normal schools. During the year there was arranged for the school a series of addresses by sonic of our own citizens. The talks were given during the last period on Friday afternoons and were every one of value and interest. Representative Ellis spoke upon State Government, Judge Swift upon County Government, and Select- man Bassett upon Town Government; Postmaster Hallett upon Practical Postal 'Matters; Mr. T. C. Thacher upon Business Op- portunities on Cape Cod and Elsewhere; Mr. W. A. Schwab upon Building the Panama Canal. byarranging debates In the English course we are trying, the power upon questions of interest to cultivate in the pupil to express himself clearly and correctly upon his feet and to give him a knowledge thru practice of elementary parliamentary law. As to other phases of high school work, 1 quote from the report of the principal: "Another side of school life which we hope to modify and strengthen is the social and athletic. Under normal conditions these arouse a healthy school spirit and thus create interest and enthusiasm. Each class is to tender a reception to teachers and students during the year. We hope later to in- vite the parents, thus getting those interested in school in close touch with pupils and teachers socially. Athletics is to occupy a place such as it occupies in other high schools'of the Cape, 1 yes of the country. One cannot overestimate the importance of physical training at this period of adolescence. "The teachers solicit the hearty co-operation of parents and friends, especially.of parents, in keeping their children at school unless reasonably detained. We would like to have more par- ents visit their children in their workshops and judge for thein - selves the kind of work being done. Our purpose is to bring • the greatest good to the greatest number, having each student realize responsibility as a member of the entire school. Only so far as he does realize 'this position will he work for the best in- terests of himself and the school" - I would add to the words of Prineipal Bowes by asking the co- operation of parents, particularly in helping their boys and girls in high school to devote regular hours tohonie study. I am forced, by the poor quality of work done by some pupils, to believe that their fathers and mothers fail to realize that the average high school student should study at least two hours at home in order to meet average requirements. Pupils that are slow to grasp principles and ideas need to put even more time outside upon their daily tasks. Right here the home can be of - great assistance. Just as a mother, who is interested in her child's progress in instrumental music, sees to it that a definite number of hours each day are devoted to practice, so a mother, who is interested in her son's or daughter's scholarship, should., take it upon herself to provide the place and -the quiet for study every afternoon and evening, and should hold the pupil to faith- ful observance of these hours. Attendance at high school is seri- ous business and ought to be so regarded by teachers, scholars, and parents. Physical exercise and social recreation are neces- sary, but should be kept in their proper and relative places.. To-. permit lessons to be slighted either at home or at. school, to allow any sort of mental dawdling or loafing is a • crime against the pupil, himself. He had better be out in the world receiving its - ` hard, but usually wholesome, hard knocks learning self reliance - and self support. • 9 Improvements in Buildings and Grounds. A heating and ventilating plant, for waxen provision all dlm the North was gen- -erously made at the last town meeting, Side school building during the summer vacation, and it is now working perfectly. It is a satisfaction to notice, on visiting the class rooms, the pure air, the good distribution of heat, and the absence of drafts. Moreover, the removal of the stoves with their long lines of pipe has made the rooms much more neat and commodious in appearance. A recitation room has beeeen walls between the grammar and high school rooms. All have been freshly calcimined and where portions of the old painted blackboards had to be torn down for the heating apparat- us they have been replaced by good slate boards. At South Yarmouth, a neat, substantial iron fence • has re- placed the worn-out wooden one on the north side of the front -school yard. Large lamps have been hung in the grammar room, and it is now possible for the regular tasks of pupils to be carried on during the dark afternoons of late fall and early winter without excessive eye strain. A large circular bed with cement botton and sides to keep out roots of nearby trees has been made for the front lawn and its flowers blooming there in 'the summer have added much to the attractiveness a betweef the n the grounds. Young maple -trees have been p .silver poplars that border the walks on' either side.. Compared with many other shade trees poplars .are but shortol ved. By planting the maples, which are of slow growth, long life, the one will be replaced -by the other in due time. At West Yarmouth, the school house roof has been newly -shingled. The grounds in front have been graded, and a semi- circular driveway and a central walk laid out. C Carolinae poplarlotees age improvement society gave eight young which were set nut by the pupils last -spring. These improve- ments have been much appreciated by the community. 9 Gifts. Upon the completion of repairs in the . North Side building, . Mrs. Agassiz gave further evidence of her interest in the school by presenting it with ten large Caproni casts for wall decora- tion. - In the high school room have been hung two companion pieces, each called the Chariot Race, the originals being in the collection of the Duc de Louie, Lisbon; Victory, from Trajan's Column, Rome; and Orpheus, Eurydice and Hermes, in the Naples -Muse- um. In the grammar room are the Bacchic Dance, in the Na- ples Museum, and -a slab from the Northern Frieze of the •Parthe- non; in the intermediate room are a slab from the 'Western Frieze of the Parthenon and a slab from the Triumphal Entry of Alexander into .Babylon; in the primary room a panel from the Cantoria Frieze by Luca Della Robia, Boys Playing Drums, and a relief by Maiano, Madonna and Child. " . •Educators, and thoughtful people not connected with the schools, have long ago been convinced of the quiet, unconscious, influence of good pictures and s tatuary upon the mind, especially the young mind whose tastes are in process of formation. Good examples of painting and sculpture are- a -refining or esthetic in- fluenee in the home, just as much as stoves and chairs are aid to its comfort. Therefore the introduction �f reproductions of masterpieces of art into our clas s rooms is a gratifying event. I wish that other citizens, intere sted in the cultural influence of the schools,, might gradually extend this movement. The build- ings in Smith Yarmouth and We st Yarmouth are practically des- titute in this particular. Recommendations. The length of a standard high school year is forty weeks. This is prescribed by statute here in Massachusetts, as is shown by. the following extract from Section 2, of Chapter 42: "One or . 1 111 . more courses of study, at least four years in length, shall be main— tained in each such high school and it shall be kept open•for the - benefit of all the inhabitants of the city or town for at least forty weeks, exclusive of vacations, in each year." While the - population of Yarmouth is not numerous enough for it to be obliged, by law, to maintain a hi gh school of its own, it would seem wise, so long as one IS maintained, to try to raise it to the proper level of efficiency. Now that an assistant is employed, making possible a genuine four years course of study, the next step to be taken is to thus increase the number of weeks of session. It is too much . to expect our pupils to accomplish in thirty-six weeks what neighboring' schools accomplish in four weeks more of time. I, accordingly recommend that beginning with next September, the high school be kept open forty weeks in the year. The increased .cost of high school maintenance(?) together - with a higher salary scale, will necessitate a considerably larger appropriation for the schools, but I believe our townspeople are ready to grant it freely. - There is need of new wall maps thruout the schools of the town. If new ones are bought, it will add a considerable item of ex- pense to the books and supplies account. I recommend, there- fore that fifty dollars be added this year to this account, making it three hundred twenty-five dollars. In order to make the grading at West Yarmouth permanent, gutters of stone or concrete should be put along the drive and walk, and the ground made ready for seeding. Following the suggestion made in last year's report,. of doing something each year that contributes to a unified plan, it is recommended that - an appropriation be made for the above mentioned purposes this year. The present transportation arrangements in West Yarmouth have been outgrown. As the great majority of pupils come from that portion of the village that adjoins Hyannis, the number of those entitled to transportation has been too great for some time 11 :for the small one-horse barge now used. In order to have ade- quate accommodations a new contract will have to be made at t increased cost. Medical Inspection. - • • In his report of 1907 the superintendent called attention to. the. law passed by the state in ]906 requiring the appointment of school physicians and prescribing their duties. In 1908 he re- ported the appointment of medical inspectors, but ` remarked that. "the inspection has hardly been carried to the . extent in- tended by the law." Upon occasion, when the teacher has been suspicious -of head lice or an incipient contagious disease, the doctor has been called to the school; but until this year no thoro examination of every pupil at regular intervals had been attempt- ed. "Clear distinction should he made between medical inspec- speetion solely for the detection of communicable disease and that physical examination which aims to discover defects, diseases, and physical condition. The one relates primarily to the immediate protection of the community, while the other looks to securing and maintining the health and vitality of the individual." It is in this latter aspect that there lie. great possibilities for good to children. Free public schools, together with compulsory attend- ance, are justified upon the principle that the education _ of its citizens is necessary for the preservation of a free state. "But the well-being of a state is as much dependent upon the strength, health, and productive capacity of its members as it is upon their knowledge and intelligence." Then, too, the physical condition of the child has a direct influence upon his mental work at school: "Children are not dullards or defectives by the will of an inscrutable Providence, but rather by the law . of cause and effect." Defective vision may result in- headaches and failure at study. Adenoids or enlarged tonsils may bring about deafness and apparent stupidity at lessons. Decayed teeth rby aching frequently cause absence from school or a disturbed 1 • 12 mental state while in school, they interfere with . the proper mastication of food thus laying the foundation for future stom-: aeh troubles, and they always are lodging places for disease germs which can pass on to the lungs and stomach. Our pupils have been examined lately by the school physi- . clans as to (1) heart and lungs, (2) throat and nose, (3) skin, (4) bones and joints,' (5) teeth, (6) vaccination,. (7) general ap- pearance. . Teachers have tested sight and hearing. The .re- sults are as follows: Pupils examined by. the doctor 199, cases of asthma 1, nervous affection of the heart 1, enlarged heart 3, chron- ic tonsilitis 11, enlarged or ulcerated tonsils 65, adenoids 2, aene or eruptive skin 20, eczema 1, spinal curvature 2, deformed hip 1, rachitic hones 1, undeveloped bones 1, decayed teeth 108, not Vac- cinated 82. Pupils examined by teachers 209, cases of defective eyesight 52, defective hearing 10. The prevalence of bad tonsils, decayed teeth, and eruptive skins, and the Large number of un- vaccinated pupils are the remarkable and very serious facts re- vealed. • As matters stand now the school has done all it can by discov- ering the physical troubles of the pupil and notifying the parent .of the "needs of his child, of which he would otherwise have -been. in ignorance. It leaves it to the parent to meet those needs. It leaves hint with a larger responsibility than before.' The school doctor does not treat eases, as some people have supposed. His function is limited to examination. 'In some .places free eye glasses are furnished pupils whose parents are unable to pur- chase then and free dental service provided upon the same con- ditions. This seems to nie only an extension of the principle al- ready acted upon by most towns with regard to regular attend- ance. If a .boy cannot go to school because of lack of shoes .or clothing. the overseers of the poor supply the need. A parent should be held responsible, within reason, for the good physical condition of his child while at school, as well as for his constant attendance between seven and fourteen years of . age. But if the parent is unable, thru poverty, to have his child's enlarged • 13 tonsils or adenoids removed, decayed teeth filled, or ,eyes fitted with glasses, the town should do it as "a matter of self preserva- tion." 3 , • 'The importance of this subject 'is so great, in its bearings upon the efficiency of our future. citizens, that it should challenge the earnest attention of our townspeople. - To : be merely' aware. of conditions will avail us little if we do. act upon the knowledge. Some way of following .up. each ease, of.physical defect should be devised and in the end the' home, or the school depattment if the home's inability is' well established, should be held responsible for .all 'reasonable efforts .for. cure.... . -. Music. • The supervisor'reports that this part of school work has ben steadily advancing, that much attention . has been • given to sight reading in all the grades, and that -good results have been accomplished in the third, fourth, fifth and sixth grades. "The higher grades, showing a lack of interest, have not 'progressed so rapidly." The standard of the upper grades should be raised. I think it will be raised when. the older boys and girls realize, as ire shall strive to .have them, that this subject of study 'is not' less important than others and that it must. receive a concentra- -tion of mind and a regularity of application equal to that given to any other subject in the course of. study. "Ear training has' been carefully followed and writing jnusiial phrases froin . menn- .ory and dictation has been done in all grades.." The ;work in rhythm has been continued and an improvement noted. "Two • musicales, consisting of choruses, quartettes, trios, and solos, have 'been given, in which .pupils of the high and grammar schools took part. These served to arouse an interest in and. an appreciation of music. At the first musicale an orchestral selection, rendered .on the piano ,violin, cornet, and drum, by four members of the school, indicates the possibility of a.: high .school orchestra." . 14 The Manual and Domestic Arta. This term includes drawing, constructive work in all materials, whether of clay, paper, raffia or wood, sewing, and cooking. Work in these branches, under the direction of special teachers,. has been going on for so long, and the nature of such instruction has been so clearly set forth in former reports by the supervis- ors, that there seems little need of treating this topic atthe pres- ent time. There are certain modifications, now under weigh in the high school courses looking toward the . vocational end, that may be sufficiently matured by another year to warrant discus- sion then. It is enough to say that the teachers are trying to hold fast to the principle that efficiency in life depends upon the power to think together with the power to do, upon the ability to plan sensibly and. execute accurately and neatly. Along this line there is much room for ourboys and girls to improve. Subjects of General Interest. There are two matters lying outside the regular sphere of school concern that are nevertheless of sufficient general educa- tional interest to merit mention at this time. Believing that as a rule too discouraged an attitude is taken by our young people with regard to the possibilities of gardening on the Cape, an attempt was made last spring to interest older boys in planting a crop of some kind. It was hoped that out of the venture there would come to theboys some agricultural experi- ence and knowledge and a little profit financially. To give stim- ulus to the project Mrs. Agassiz generously volunteered to place at the disposial of the superintendent a sum of money for prizes. It was decided to try to raise potatoes, as they seemed to be a vegetable easily salable, each boy planting one quarter of an acre. The prizes were made large enough to be a strong inducement for boys to enter the contest, the first being fifteen dollars, the sec- ond ten. While the experiment cannot he considered a success so far as the number of contestants was concerned, it taught a valuable lesson in patient and persistent effort to those who did 1 15 enter. Harold Weeks won the first prize and Merrill Baker the second, the former raising 271/4 bushels or over 100 bushels to the acre, the latter about 80 bushels to the acre. Potatoes may not be the most desirable crop to grow, but it is easily possible that boys, who would plant a small plot to vegetables or fruits matur- ing for the summer trade, could make a tidy bit of . money each season. String beans, sweet corn, strawberries, and blackberries ought to pay, if intensive rather than extensive cultivation is followed. Some thoughtful minds have felt that while the country is the better place in which to rear young children, the city is a better environment for boys and girls in their teens. If this is true in any measure it is owing in good part to the fact that the city pro- vides more opportunities for wholesome diversion for the boy when his school, shop, or store work is done. In cities_ and___ larger towns are clubs, reading rooms, athletic associations, the cadets, and the Y. M. C. A. In the country village these are lacking in most instances. There is no place where boys can - gather and, under appropriate supervision, play games, box, wrestle, or sing. As a result, their physical and social activi- ties are too often misdirected to the detriment of the individual and the community. It is interesting to note that a year ago last fall a movement was inaugurated to supply the boys of South Yarmouth with some means of evening recreation. The use of • the upper floor of a building was granted them. ` The boys or- ganized under the charge of the grammar school master. In- terested citizens helped to equip the rooms in a modest way and to maintain the supervision of the club. The boys by assess- ments bore the expense of lighting and heating, and during the winter gave a play to raise a little money. Upon the whole, the club may he said to be successful so far. Its future depends upon the boys themselves and the quality of leadership available. If this movement, which might be considered a rural extension of the Y. M. C. C. in its spirit and purposes, proves permanent, its influence cannot fail to go beyond its own borders and will help, 16 -_ in a degree at least, to make -the country village more wholesome for its young people. In conclusion I wish to thank you, gentlemen, for your ready support in all matters of school administration, and to express my appreciation of all those teachers who • are working loyally for better standards in their class rooms. • • ' C.

The office of the Board is well equipped, and compares favorably with any in the county. It is a pleasure to call attention of the citizens to the Town Dock and Landing Park which with Gray's Beach bas been made possible by the Thacher family. The thanks of all the peo- ple are due this family for this important addition to our Town. We recommend for the coming year that appro- priations be made to protect the Town macadam roads with oil preparation. The adopting of precinct voting for Town elections, by proper amendments to the By-laws of the Town. That this Board be authorized to revise the Fish regula- tions as now existing between this Town and the Town of Dennis. That this Board he authorized to submit revised and additional By-laws at some future meeting. That this Board be authorized to take the first steps in the matter of a water supply. In the event that the Selectmen are authorized to draft new and suitable By -Laws proper Police Regulations will be given consideration, and submitted for adoption. 8. There'has been considerable neglect in promptly return- ing receipted bills, in many cases it has cost from six to eight cents to have the paid bills returned. It is necessary for this Board to have a receipted voucher covering every order' drawn on the Town Treasurer, and unless bills are promptly returned it will be necessary to pay bilk to such persons by other means than mail.

The Assessors have the honor to report important changes in the administration of this Department. A modern card system has been installed which will aid in the work of this important branch of the town govern- ment. During the past year the 'Board gave considerable atten- tion to a section of shore property on the South side with the result of several thousand dollars increase in valuation and a uniform rate of same. Considerable property was assessed to "John Doe," the owners being unknown, and that such property will be sold by the Tax Collector unless proper owner be found. We respectfully recommend for the consideration of the tax payer the necessity of the Board. receiving the com- pensation as provided in Chapter 12, section 99, of the Revised Laws, in order that a proper re -valuation of town property be made with a uniform rate of such re -valuation.

The building has not been sold and is at present under consideration to be used with this town jointly with ad- joining towns to comply_ with the law for the establishment and maintenance for a hospital for contagious diseases. This law makes such a hospital obligatory on the part of the town,and we recommend that some action be taken to authorize the Selectmen, who are also Board of Health, to take some action in this matter. The number of our outside poor is increasing and the calls front poor who are living outside the limits of the town are also increasing. - We believe that the poor of this town are given care and attention which will compare favorably with the care and attention given by any town in the Commonwealth.

Under the statutes of the Commonwealth the town must expend if necessary the sum of $942.A3 before the town can be reimbursed for the full amonntexpended in excess of this Rum. The work. however, thus far has only cost an average of between three and four hundred dollars. - I respectfully urge upon all property owners the import- ance of clearing all lands owned by them in compliance with - the notice issued annually. 1 note that during the past year little attention has been given this notice, which makes the work more difficult and costly. in addition to increasing this pest. It is also a pleasure to note that the State Forester has complimented this town to the -exert manner in which this work has been done and because of the fact that there was located in three instances isolated nests of the gypsy moth, and because of this fact the town has been -Saved from this destructive insect. If these nests Lad not been found and the gypsy moth gained a foothold, the State would, without doubt, have required the town to expend the amount fixed, namely, $942.63. CHARLES R.

MaSs., DCO. 30, 1911 To the School Cooeioittee of Yarmouth, Gentlemen :-1 have the honor to present herewith my third annual report, which is the twentieth in the:series of the district superintendent's reports. IMPROVEMENTS IN BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS At South Yarmouth a steel ceiling has been put up in the intermediate room in place of the old plastering that was fast becoming unsafe. The recitation .room in this building, long unused except for supplies, has been fitted up so that it is now suitable for holding teachers' and com- mittee meetings. AtsWest Yarmouth the school grounds have been fur- ther improved by planting a semi -circular row of maple trees in front. OTHER IMPROVEMENTS SUGGESTED At the Yarmouthport building there is need of slate blackboards. Those now in use are of plaster and unless they receive frequent repainting are unsatisfactory. Even in the best of condition they are less serviceable than the 6 slate boards. The yard in front of this building should be improved. When compared with the neat lawns that line the main street, this bare patch of ground does not make a creditable appearance. Thus it takes away from the gen- eral attractiveness of the village. With provision made for broad walks and the necessary' drive at the side, there would still be a fair amount of space that could be sown to grass. There is ample room•for play grounds elsewhere so that the front could be kept in good condition once it reached that state. The work upon the grounds in front of the West Yar- mouth building, which has been definitely advanced during the last two years, should be pushed on. In all the schools there should be set bowls or basins which purils could use. A large majority of our pupils do not go home noons and after eating and playing during the noon recess, hands are hardly in condition to perform neat- ly much of the school work. • Besides, if the schools can further habits of personal cleanliness in this way; they should - be quick todo so. CONVEYANCE OF PUPILS To provide for the transportation of scholars from home to school seems to be necessary in rural communities where the distances to be travelled are two or more miles. It is only carrying out, as far as possible, the democratic prin- ciple that all children, no :natter in what section of the town they live, are entitled to equal educational opportuni- ties. To the child of average good health it is no hardship to take the daily ride. ' The one serious objection to the practice has been that boys and girls, at an age when social 1 7 and moral standards are flexible, have been associated with one another without sufficient oversight, with the conse- quence that a few, with lax and undesirable ideals of con- duct, have at times had free occasion to influence others of their companions. An attempt has been made this last fall to overcome this possible objection, so far as the con- veyance of the greater number of our high school pupils is concerned. The assistant teacher lodges in South Yar- mouth and rides in the barge to and from the high school at Yarmouthport. Thus the constant presence of a person of authority in the barge ensures a correct tone of behavior. THE HIGH SCHOOL. The work here has been reorganized to a considerable extent this last year. As the particulars of this reorgan- ization will heaven fully in a catalog of the school, now being printed, copies of which will be sent to each house- hold in town, it is unnecessary to do more in this report than to make this mention of the matter, in passing. It does seem necessary, however, to call attention again to the fact that in too many instances the work of pupils in the school is not characterized by that seriousness of purpose and that degree of application and industry essen- tial to satisfactory results. I am constrained to believe that some parents feel that if their children attend school with fair regularity for a definite number of years, the granting of diplomas ought to follow naturally. The amount, or the character, of the work done by the pupil does not seem to these parents to be a vital element. Under our new arrangetnents it should be less easy for students to be promoted without having accomplished a cer- ri 5 8 tain amount of real work. When a pupil leaves the elementary school at fourteen or fifteen years of age, he has finished the compulsory part of his education. In a sense he is no longer a child but a youth nearing manhood. More serious things are expected of him. A larger responsibility faces him. Without going to extremes, or changing too abruptly, his hours of labor should become longer and his hours of play shorter. In other words, the time has come for him to begin to "make a business of work," either at some industry for wages or at the high, or other secondary school; for more education. It seems to me as much of an econo- mic wrong for a boy attending high school to fail to work up to his normal.capacity as it is for an employer of a boy to pay wages far short of the boy's real worth. Both parents and pupils, therefore, are urged to regard attendance at high school as a business that requires the_ bulk of t_ he student time and energy. THE MANUAL ARTS In spite of discussions of this topic in former reports, I yet come in contact, at times, with citizens who think that sloyd and other forms of manual, or industrial, work in the schools are fads and of comparative newness. I, also, meet people who think that our course in wood working should turn out carpenters. Because 1 wish to try per- sistently to correct these erroneous impressions, I desire to give some space in this report to further discussion of this • subject. The_manual_-training movement cannot be said to be new, since it "had its beginning in this country in 1831 when there was founded in New York City a Society for the i 9 Promotion of Manual Labor in Schools and Literary In- stitutes." "The purpose of the movement was to introduce into a course of instruction wholly mental, a collateral training in working with the hands. It cannot be insisted too strongly that its primary object was not the production of carpen- ters, metal -workers, ',r electricians; it aimed merely to impart that mental training which comes of having executed with the hands that which was conceived in the brain, and of having overcome in a material way difficulties which are unreal in theory." It has been hard for some people to realize that education does not consist solely of "hook learning." This manual training "movement, languishing for many years, at last struck firm roots into the ground and has spread throughout the country." It is now "the - Most important feature of the modern educational program." "It means a restoration of a lost balance to our educational system—a training of the hand not apart from, but to- gether with. the mind, as co-workers to the same end." Our forefathers recognized the unwisdom of training but one-half of the pian. "In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, when the trade guilds were at their height, both in England and on the Continent, the boy was apprenticed to a trade. He passed four, five, or six years under the eye of the master -workman. His education was designed to fit him to be a useful, self -dependent member of society ; it did not lack in mental training, but it gave him along_ with that a skill at some form of useful labor." To go back to more ancient times, it was required of the Jews that each should teach his son a trade or craft, whatever was to be his station in life. St. Paul, it will be recalled, 011rlb 10 • was taught tent -making, altho he was trained for the law and studied at the feet of the great Jewish doctor, Gamalicl. A generationortwo ago, the New England farm and the sea -faring life common to the Cape furnished for boys " some of the best manual training that has ever been given." For girls, the old-time hones with their large families and varied household activities gave an admirable domestic training. Under these former conditions there was no necessity for the schools to attempt industrial education. To -day, however, we face a different situation. The changed industrial and social conditions have left the modern home, as a rule, unable to provide necessary ex- ercise in manual dexterity. Hence there came about "the one-sidedness of our customary education." Now that the intimate connection between hand and brain, between thought and execution is being more widely recognized, we are adjusting our training so that one of .these vital ele- ments is being no longer neglected. In short, a school system that is awake to present day needs has drawing, manual training, sewing, cooking, and gardening in its courses of instruction. These subjects do not crowd out, but correlate with and re -enforce the work in the "three r's." In sewing and cooking our instruction aims to follow broad, sensible lines and good results are being obtained. I am informed that a former pupil of ours won a first prize in an exhibition of school sewing, in Essex county, with a piece of work done while under our training. As Essex is a county with a large school population, competition was keen and therefore the result was complimentary to both the pupil and her Yarmouth instructora 1 11 The teaching of cooking, I believe, could be wisely ex- tended to the upper grammar grade girls. Under a new supervisor. the work in drawing and aloyd last year was to sonic extent experimental, corrective, and preparatory. Some of the results were not tangible, but they were none the less real and worth while. This year the work is well organized and the pupils more ready. Good, concrete results are confidently expected. Those who are interested to gain not only an intelligent, but fairly comprehensive, idea of the aims and methods of our course in manual arts are advised to read the plan of work which appears as one of the appendices of this report. At the close of the school year an exhibition of pupils' work in these branches will be held. TEACHERS. Compared with other public responsibilities, those of the school committee are of supreme importance. Necessary as the obligations of other town offices are, none is so deep- rooted and far-reaching in its influence upon the welfare of the community as that of the general care of the education of the young. That our legislators from the -beginning have recognized this truth, is shown by the fact that to no other board of officers is there delegated so liberal a measure of power as that given to the school committee. Among these powers there is none so vital as the election of teachers. There may be commodious buildings ade- quately equipped, the best of text books, a sound course of study, skillful supervision ; yet these advantages while very desirable, will be of little avail if there are not able teachers to make use of them. After the children themselves, the 1 s , 12 whole soul of the school is the teacher; and the committee that uses all the means in its power to secure the services of the best teachers is most wisely serving the interests of the town. Ability to engage instructors of requisite training and successful experience depends almost entirely upon the salary to be paid. Naturally, a better selection can be made if a salary of $500 to $600 per year can be offered, than if the scale of wages is from $400 to $450. School officials cannot go into the market now and hire for $45 per month, for a nine -months' year, the same order of teaching skill that could have been hired ten, or even five, years ago at that price. The causes of this state of affairs are well known. The one following _fact is both illuminating and typical. Some of our women teachers are paying today $6 per week for board that not so many years ago cost only $4, with washing sometimes included. An increaxe of 50 per cent. If the schools of our town are not to serve as train- ing grounds for inexperienced teachers who leave us just at the time their services become valuable, our salary scale must be materially raised. It is gratifying to record that this last year substantial increases iiAVE been made in some well deserving instances, and I earnestly recommend that this enlightened policy be continued and extended. It should be our aim, h believe, to pay enough at the star[to get teachers whose worth, both in the community and the school- room, has been proved. Then it should be our endeavor to pay them enough from time to time to keep them for several years at least. The value of an excellent teacher's.continu- ous administration is incalculable. To EXTEND this policy which, I repeat, bas already been 18 inaugurated, will mean a larger school budget than ' in former years, but I feel confident that all thoughtful citizens will concede that it will be money sensibly expended. In conclusion, I wish to express my hearty appreciation of the ready co-operation of the School Committee and of the faithful services of the teaching corps. Respectfully submitted, C. R.

"Art and the appreciation of the beautiful is by no means a mere luxury, but a necessity for our most effective social and personal development." "There can he no great school of art unless artistic tastes are developed in every walk of life, and this only can be obtained by fostering the taste for the artistic decoration of the home." "Art embraces the whole of life, being nothing more nor less than a steady aspiration after what is best in con- duct and environment." "The best art training conies from learning to do the ordinary and necessary things of life exceedingly well." "Be frank with the children. Require only that which seems likely to yield the richest returns to the children. Allow the use of only the evidently appropriate means. Lead the children to work as directly and. perfectly as possible. Help them to rzee why, as well as how; and therefore to rejoice in their successes." HENRY TURNER BAILEY. ••'Art" is dere used to its broadest sense and includes the crafts. 15 PURPOSE OF ART EDUCATION. Purpose of Art Education in the Public Schools. I.

Art. 16 A brief description of the• aim and° content of Graphic Expression, Constriction and Aesthetics as adapted to the Public Schools. A. Graphic Expression (drawing) by means of pictorial drawing, constrnctive drawing and decorative drawing. 1. Aim. (1) Cultivation of eye and hand and reason. (2) Ability to use pencil and the common drawing instruments with facility and accuracy in the expression of ideas. 2. Content. • (1) Pictorial drawing lends to ability to sketch readily and adequately common natural and 'made objects. It involves a working know- ledge of form and color, of proportion and perspective.. It is carried on by means of the free hand use of crayon and pencil. (2) Constructive drawing leads to ability to both read and make working drawings. It in- volves a working knowledge of geometric terms and forms, of plans and elevations. It is carried on by means of the pencil, ruler, drawing board, T square, triangles and com- passes. - Decorative drawing leads to the ability to de- sign patterns adapted to a given space, material and function. It involves a working knowledge of form, color and arrangement. It is carried on by means of the pencil, crayon, brush and the instruments used in Constructive drawing. (3) 17 13. Construction (making) in materials suited to the needs and ability of the children and which can be used by the pupils sensibly and adequately in the school -room; in wood; in textiles. 1. Aim. (1) Cultivation of eye, hand and reason. (2) Ability to make a workmanlike attack upon a problem. (3) Ability to sustain effort for the 'sake of good workmanship. - 2. Content. (1) The need for construction shcmld Le real • rather than imaginary; a natural one, reco;- nizedby the child rather than an artificial one imposed by the teacher. The child should be considered in his three fold development of physical, mental and moral power. Those materials and tools should first be given which call for the use of the larger muscles, finer work and more deli- cate manipulation being reserved until later. IIe should he trained to forethought and re- sourcefulness, should acquire habits of ac- curacy and perseverance and should gain a sense of individual responsibility. The product should be because of its care- ful planning and excellent construction an object well adapted to its purpose, and beau- tiful in its form, proportion and decoration. Wood. (See course of Wood work.) Textiles. (See course of.Sewing.) (2) (3) Y s-2 70, 18 C. Aesthetics (choosing) applied to the pleasure de- rived from nature, civic improvement, household furnish- ings and personal attire. 1. Aim. (1) Cultivation of a feeling for the beautiful. (2) Ability to select beautiful, appropriate and well wrought articles and to arrange them in a pleasing manner. 2. Content. (1) An appreciation of nature leads to a desire to preserve and increase its beauties. It may be cultivated by observation of the changing aspects of the sky, the water and the earth. (2) An appreciation of the cleanliness, order and beautiful surroundings of the school building will lead to a desire for civic improvement. This may be cultivated by attending to the schoolrooms, the school -house and the school grounds. These two subjects can be dealt with to the greatest advantage in the High School where the pupils because older have more oppor- tunity to improve home conditions.

In' the primary grades the emphasis is placed upon. pic- torial drawing; decorative and constructive drawing being used incidentally as the need for them may arise. The object of the work in these grades is the cultivation, through picture making, of the observation and imagination. Wholes are dealt with rather than parts, and general charac- teristics rather than details. Drawing is here used simply as another language and a vocabulary is gradually built up by the teaching and repeated use of symbols representative of familiar objects. Fruits. Sky. (On pleasant and cloudy days, day, night, sunset, clear and with clouds.) Ground. (Fall, winter, spring.) Sea. Trees. (Teach the one most common in vicinity—in its autumn, winter and spring appearance., Evergreen trees.) House, Fence. (Teach front and side views—use terms vertical and horizontal—emphasize strength.-)---= Boys and Girls. (Use Augsburg's action -cards and teach typical actions—walking, running, stooping -incidentally show how to dress the figures:) Flowers. Teach other symbols as they are needed for picture expression. 21 A suggestive outline for the year's work in the Inter- mediate Grades. (General aim is accuracy of expression.) I.

(3) Trees—shapes of the typical ones, 'with and without foliage. 2. Beauty in the Schoolhouse and Grounds. (1) Walks, entries, halls, rooms. (2) Walks, playgrounds, plants, shrubs, trees., NOTES In the intermediate grades the emphasis is placed upon constructive drawing. Pictorial drawing is continued, more attention being given to individual characteristics of objects than in the primary. grades.. Decorative drawing is used when the need arises, but as in the primary grades is guided by suggestion of the teacher. • . The object of the work is to cultivate a keener observation. and imagination (the latter developed by constructive draw- ing). This leads naturally to greater accuracy which . is induced by the use of drawing instruments in the construc- tion of objects from paper. Working drawings are taught as the convenient manner of expressing ideas of construc- tion, and should be for the most part free-hand.. These should always be made use of, either for infortnation.regard- ing location, etc., or in actual construction. The construc- tion of simple objects from paper or cardboard gives an opportunity to use the drawing instruments. A suggestive outline for the year's work in the Grammar Grades.

We have the honor and the pleasure to submit herewith - the annual report of the Board of, Selectmen for the year 1912. WO again desire to call attention to the continued excellent financial standing of the town. In spite of the large expenditures made at the last annual and special meetings, the finances of the town have been conducted without a raise in the rate of taxation, and without carrying over into the present year any tax notes incurred during the current year. We would urge upon the voters the necessity of carefully guard- ing against large and unnecessary appropriations of money, which unavoidably lead to increased rates of tax. Especially is this needed in view of the rapidly increasing cost of the maintenance of our schools and roads. The fishery regulations have been revised by this board, and are now in the hands of the Selectmen of the town of Dennis for their approval. These, together with the revised by-laws of the town, now under preparation, will be submitted to the town at a later date. A bill his been introduced in the present legislaturc asking for as amendment to the existing shell -fish statutes, which will place the control of razor -fish under the regulation of the city and town authorities, as other shell -fish now are. The razor -fish industry 'was quite an item upon the North shore some thirty years ago, and from present indications, under proper control, may again be made of great benefit to our fishermen upon this large area of now barren flats. A bill has also been introduced, asking for authority to construct and for the future maintenance of a new bridge across Bass River at the South Dennis location. The old bridge has bacome danger- 8 ous, and is thought to be beyond repair. Under the provisions of this bill the county will pay for fifty per cent. of the cost and future maintenance, whereas at present the county is liable for only four -fourteenths of same. Acting under authority of vote of the town at the last town meeting. whereby this board was instructed to represent the town in the matter of the bill of the Barnstable Water company then pending in the. legislature, the Selectmen opposed the enactment of this bill, and the company was granted leave to withdraw their bill. The Selectmen took this position because they believed the pro- visions of the bill were not favorable to the interests of tho town. The report of the Committee on Water Supply appointed by the town, of which this board were members, will be presented at the annual meeting. In the investigations of this board, actino as a sub -committee of the Water Supply Committee, considerable attention was given to the feasibility of electric lights being introduced into this town from the plant of the Buzzards Bay Electric Light company located at Falmouth and now in operation in Falmouth and parts of the town of Barnstable. We believe this matter should receive the earnest consideration of the voters at an early date. Last Year we took occasion to call attention to the necessity of a prompt return of receipted bills to this office, and we have been pleased to note that there has been a marked improvement in this matter, and we desire to thank all those who have complied so promptly. We desire to call attention of all our citizens, and through them to our summer visitors, to the improvements at Grey's Beach upon the North shore, which has been brought about, through the gener- osity of the Thacher family. A new extension to the 850 feet of' walk at the town dock of some 1000 more feet leading. to Gray's Beach ,,,mv makes it possible to walk to that place at all times of the tides, and the erection of a siring of bathhouses and suitable benches makes this a delightful place for bathing and all shore recreations. t 9 We desire to state that because of numerous new town appoint- ments in different departments, made obligatory by recent acts of the legislature, and because of la.•ger and more numerous appro- priations and consequent expenditures of money by the town during the last few years, all of which necessitates more office work, to- gether with a more complete system of records now kept under several card systems, the duties of this board have largely increased, but we believe the business of the town is now conducted upon a basis that will give better satisfaction to our citiiens and to others doing business with the authorities of this town, and will compare favorably with the system of any of the larger towns of the Commonwealth. We take pleasure in calling attention to the absence of crime throughout the town the past year. Very few complaints have been received during the year by this board, by the town constables or by the courts direct. The insurance of town buildings and property has been put .upon a three year basis, which has made a larger expenditure for the present year, but will by the lower rates obtained be a saving in the end. It will be noted that because the School Committee have been able to provide for the support of our schools upon the amounts appropriated by the town, the .Selectmen have been pleased to ap- portioe the annual dog fund to the benefit of the three libraries of the town. The Ancient cemetery at Yarmouth during the past year has been surveyed and plans of same draw., giving each existing lot and owner of same, together with a list of names and dates of all in- terments in the. ancient part which is not regularly laid out in lots. The ,unoccupied land has been plotted into regular lots marked and numbered by permanent markers and : modern cemetery record book provided. This has been a tedious anu pairstaking work, requiring much time and detail, but was greatly needed for future reference regarding past interments ar,d for future use upon some systematic 10 basis. Much credit is due Mr. Charles M. Bray for the great in- terest taken and the care he has given to this cemetery. We desire to recommend that the town elect a board of Cemetery Commissioners who will take charge of this cemetery and will be empowered to make regulations governing the use and care of same, and who will keep the plans and records as provided, and we recom- mend that Mr. Bray be chairman of this board of commissioners. Mr. William A. Schwab, a member of this board, has, because of a call to duty elsewhere, resigned during the year, and we desire to here record our regret at the loss of his membership to our board. Mr Schwab took a great interest in the affairs of the town, and our relations, while associated together as town officials, both per- sonal and official, were very .pleasant.

Report of the Board of Assessors. The Assessors have the honor to submit herewith' 'their annual report for the year 1912. Acting under authority of a vote of thetown at the annual meet- ing, they have during the, latter part of the year, personally, by going upon each piece of land and viewing the property as a full board, made figures for a proportionable re -valuation of each build-. ing and piece of land throughout the resident sections of the town, and these valuations have been incorporated upon a card system, for the consideration of the Board of Assessors for the year 1913, and we trust, except where changes may occur in property before April first, they will be a guide and assistance to the assessors at that time in deciding upon assessment values. We note with considerable satisfaction that the shore properties known as Great Island and Englewood Beach are growing from year to year, and from present indications will 'receive quite a boom during the present year. The continued growth of these places means lower rates of taxation and should be encouraged. We call attention to the fact that our rate of taxation has been kept down to a low figure as compared with other towns through- out the- Commonwealth, and this should be a matter of satisfaction to all. We submit herewith statistics of this department for the current year. • Respectfully, CHARLES R. BASSETT, LUTHER R. BROWN, WILLIAM A. SCHWAB, Assessors.

BASSETT, R, BROWN, A. SCHWAB, Assessors of Yarmouth. Report of Overseers of Poor. We submit hereWilli the report of this department for the current year. The outside poor, located in other towns, have increased during the past year, and the disposition of this class of charges is a mat. ter of .fome uneasiness to this Board, because of the largo expen- flditure ,;ranted by other town authorities in such cases, ospooially those requiring continued medical care and treatment. We aro somo- ' Oat handicapped in our handling of these cases, because we have no faciiities in the town to provide for same if removal from other places is desirable. We recommend that the town vote to dispose by sale of the pres- ent almshouse property. The location for permanent support of the ar"eo and infirm -is very poor, and the property itself Is too large and e.>errsive to maintain. We further recommend that the. town provide some suitable property in a 'desirable location for the we of this department as may develop from time to time. We do 'not find the method of boarding those in need of aid to work' sat.- isfaccri?y.-to any of the parties concerned. From our observation, we believe those who have been in need of public aid in the past in this town, either in the case of neces- saries or for medical .treatment, have been fully as well provided for as have thos.e of any of the towns of the Commonwealth.- We ommonwealth:We submit herewith the financial and statistical report of this depar.meni for the current year. - Re_spectfully submitted, CHARLES R.

I have the honor to submit the following report for the year 1912. The brown tail mothsduring the past year have been more plen-, tiful than the previous year, in spite . f tae fact that the whole town has been carefully cleaned annually for the past six years. In consequence of this fact, and acting under the advice of the state superintendent, during the coming year only the residential portions and the town highways will be covered, and in woodlands and swamps badly infested the state method of killing in the cat- erpillar form by planting of the insect disease will be followed. Under the law the town must if neci'ssary or if so instructed by the state authorities, expend from its own treasury the sum of ff989.19, after which the state reimburses the town 100 per cent. I urge upon all property owners the necessity of complying with the annual Notice issued to them by the Selectmen. Because of the failure of such compliance, and the magnitude of the work put upon the moth department by such neglect, it has been found necessary to assess such exi;euse incurred upon private property, under the moth tax provisions of the law. In regard to the gypsy moth, it has been found that the main street in Yarmouthport was infected last year; and forceful meas- ures as could be taken were at once put in operation. The prob- lem for the coming season of this pest is looked upon with some anxiety, and the help of the state forester will early be called upon. F[NANCLAL STATEMENT.

At the' town meeting in February last, it was unanimously voted that it was the sense of the town that your Park Commissioners ac- quire a strip of land, 100 yards wide, along the beach from the "Run Bridge," so called, to Parker's river. In order to work on this matter intelligently we had the property carefully surveyed,_ and this plan is now in your hands. We interviewed the principal owners, and without exception we were unable to come to any reasonable agree- ment with them as to the price to be paid for this 100 yard strip. We also found that the cost of building a bridge and a proper road across the Run would be so expensive that we felt the town would 62 not be willing to assume any such burden, and therefore the whole matter was deemed impractical. During the year we had a letter from Mr. Daniel Wing, a former resident of this town, saying that he would like to present the town with a piece of about 2'4 acres of land on the shores of Long pond, known as the "Picnic Grove," together with a strip of land 40 feet wide, extending from the Indian monument to Wood road, so as to give a better access to the Picnic grove, but that he did not feel able to contribute the whole of it, and if the people were willing to subscribe one-half its valuation, he would gladly give the other half. A number of public spirited citizens at once subscribed for one- half the value, and the deed is now in our hands, and at the coming town meeting the town will be asked to take action on accepting this gift. A little lot of an acre and a quarter, of small value, adjoining the Picnic grove lot., formerly owned by Mrs. Farris, has been bought and deeded to the town by one of your Commissioners, thinking that at some time it might be useful in connection with the Picnic grove. There is no expense to the town attending either of these two transfers. THACHER T. HALLET, Chairman, CHESTER R. STACY, WILLIAM A. DONALD, Park Commissioners. Report of Town Treasurer.

Under Article 13, Mr. C. R. Bassett, in prefacing his motion, said: "This Article was put in the Warrant by the Selectmen at the sug- gestion of many of the citizens of the Town of Yarmouth. As you all know, it is called the Ancient Cemetery of the Town. There bas never been a survey made of this property and the parties who have this in charge keep no official record. It seems very proper to ns that in view of the existing circumstances and associations connected with the cemetery, a survey and p' -an should be made of this and one copy of the same be placed in charge of the caretaker of the cemetery and one given to the Town Clerk, and one placed in the Town Vault, and that in future some sort of regulation should be assumed by the Town and the proper records kept for the future generations. One of the Selectmen consulted an engineer, who estimated the expense of il 1 70 preparing such plans and survey would be $400, and would number these lots and the unoccupied lots and "give the names of those interred." As a result of -Mr. Bassett's motion, 1t was unanimously voted by • hand vote that the sum of $500 be raised and appropriated for the purpose of surveying and preparing plans of the Ancient Cemetery 1* Yarmouth, the property. of the Town. It w then voted unanimously to take up jointly Articles 30 and 31. Mr. Henry A. Ellis moved, and it was unanimously voted under Article 30, that the Selectmen be authorized to appear before legisla- tive committees for the purpose of protecting the Town's interest In the matter of the bili now pending in the Legislature concerning a water supply for the Town of Yarmouth, which has been presented by the Barnstable Water Company. In connection with these Articles, Mr. Thacher said: "The first Article is very plain. It gives direct authority to the Selectmen to appear at the State House and take such action as they think necessary. Article 31, as I understand, is to look into the ques- tion of water, and_ to get an estimate of the coat of the water supply ender different systems, also the revenue. I quite agree that the Town of Yarmouth should own the plant. I presume they want to have the thing covered and have asked for estimates by experts in order to get exact information." Mr. John H. Clark then prefaced his motion as follows: "It is a very important matter—a matter that is apt to involve the Town in some expense but I believe that a • proper committee can go to different places that are situated the way we are, and get practical information as to what .it will cost each householder. If it costs too much, we do not want it, and if It does not, we do." Mr. Clark then submitted the following written motion: That a com- mitteeof three be appointed by the Moderator to retire and bring in a list of four names for the consideration of this meeting to act in conjunction with the Board of Selectmen as a committee to obtain practical information in regard to a water supply for the Town, and report at a future meeting, said committee to serve without pay, but that a sum not exceeding $500 be appropriated for their travelling and other expenses in connection there with. This motion was adopted by the following hand vote: 46 affirmative and 11 negative. The Moderator then, in compliance with the above vote, appointed the following committee to render report at the adjourned meeting: 71 Mr. John H. Clark, Judge Fre' C. Swift, Mr. Chester R. Stacy.

West Yarmouth. Mass., December 31, 11.)12. To the School Committee of Yarmouth, .Gentlemen: I Present herewith my fourth annual report, which is the twenty-first in the series of the district snrerintende,nt's reports. BETTER SALARIES. BETTER TE,'ACIIE'RS. I am glad to state that, in my opinion the work in the schools at present is more, efficient, than it has been since the beginning of my connection with their administration. This increased efficiency is almost wholly due to a teaching corps' that. is stronger, on the whole thrn ever breore; and the employ- ment ofable instructors has 1-een made possible by a higher salary scale. Out of seven new appointments, this last season, five of the appointees were teachers of at least a year's successful experience, the other two being normal. school graduates of more than usual promise. So that instead of employing untried teachers, or teach- ers.of little promise. or "left -overs" of any sort. as compelled to when the salary scale was low. we can command, with even a mod- erate increase in pay, a noticeably better grade of teachers. I feel very strongly that, eount..y children are entitled to teach- ers of fine character and established professional sk..71 fully as - much as city children; and that with due allowance for any exist- ing differences in the cost of living in city and in country, the differences in the salaries of rural and of urban teachersshould be steadily lessened and soon abolished. I believe Yarmouth. as a country town. is unusually able to pro- vide itself with well-trained and highly competent teachers. There-. fore, I recommend, again. the most liberal policy in regard to wage. So long as we are:setting "our money's worth" from the viewnoint- of market conditions,, the more iiberal the outlay, the sounder an& better the results of our work of educating our children are sure - to be. 116 _ ..- PROMOTION OF HEALTH. Many people who have thought about the work of the schools are of the opinion that the aims of administration have centered Loo much upon the mental or intellectual side of the pupil's develop- ment and, until very recently, Loo little upon the physical welfare of the child. "Health," says Mr. Stratton D. Brooks, former superin- tendent of schools in Boston, "is more important than education. The school must avoid doing anything harmful to the health of its pupils, must remedy all conditions detrimental to their physical con- dition, and must instruct all pupils in regard to the importance of physical vigor and the means by which disease may be prevented." We have already done a few things with these ends in view. We oil floors to allay dust dangers; the common drinking cup has been abolished by law; as has the common towel; set howls are proposed for washing purposes and paper towels are on hand; we have medical inspection that reveals the physical defects of pupils and informs the parents of the same. But at present' we have no way of insuring remedial attention to these defects. The law, good as far as it goes, falls short. Lack of interest or of a sense of responsibility, ignorance, or poverty may, and in most cases does, result in no efforts on the part of parents to cure abnormal con- ditions. The dependence of mental vigor upon physical vigor is too well recognized to permit a doubt as to the consequences of such failure. The child's efficiency is lowered, he does not get all that is possible to him out of his school life and in a corzesponding degree he is hampered in adult life. I am convinced that the school• is not performing its full duty to the children of the com- munity, whom it aims to make into citizens of all-around soundness, until it insures upon the already established system of INSPEC- TION as a basis, a system of medical and dental TREATMENT. Whenever possible the expense of treatment, should he borne by parents, but when it is clearly shown that parents are unable to bear the expense the town acting thru either the school department or overseers of the poor should assure the responsibility. The examinations by the school physician have shown that there ex.st among our pupil two common troubles, bad tonsils and de- cayed teeth. To help remedy the first there should be well organized instruction in the care of the throat and nose. Such instruction could be given by the school doctor directly to the children,. or indirectly by him thru the teachers. To remedy the second trouble 1 117 more practical and continuous instruction should be given in the care of the teeth, particularly to the younger children. In view of the fact that parents in our scatteredrural villages are confronted with what is often a prohibitory inconvenience in reaching a den- tist, I recommend the following: That arrangements be made by which a dentist shall visit each school twice a year, prepared to fill decayed teeth and render other usual dental service, and that by agreement with the home the expenses of filling, which should be made as moderate as possible, be borne by the parents. THE SCHOOLS AND LOCAL INDUSTRIES. The supreme problem that has been facing our Cape towns for the last two generatio.is is what can our boys do after leaving school. With the decline of seafaring life, there seemed to be no local industry sufficiently inviting to our young men and year after year there has been an exodus to the city. Instead of new fam- ilies being founded to replace the old there has been a steady shrinkage of population. The business created by summer resi- dents and visitors lasts hut for a short season and so affords only a partial livelihood for a comparatively few people.. The only occupations that holdout promise are fishing. (particu- larly the shell fisheries) and farming. It. is believed that both of these industries are capable of much development. For instance, the raising. of "little necks" has attrac- tive possibilities, if restrictive and antiquated legislation could be repealed and quahaug farming permitted. In the Massachusetts Fish and Game Commission's report on "The Mollusk Fisheries" of the state, submitted in 1909, it is stated that a conservative estimate of the revenue from a "little neck" quahaug farm of an acre would be in gross receipts about 51800. The seed quahaugs would cost F.600, leaving the net proceeds 51200. In our own town there are, it is estimated, 1000 acres of quahaug grounds. If under a fair system of grants these acres could be successfully "farmed" th,n- could fur- nish a good living for a score of families. It is not outside the function of the highest grammar grade and the high school grades to attempt to open the minds of our boys to the industrial possibilities of a shore town such as ours. Such effort. would be clearly vocational in tendency and therefore more practical than many of the lines of traditional high school work. Just as courses in agriculture are being established in many schools, 118 so a course in "shellfish farming" is 'possible of development not far in the future. • Agriculture on the Cape, aside frim cranberry growing, has never awakened -much enthusiasm and yet there used to be a considerable amount of small farming carried on with fair profit, and today there are examples here and there of farmers who are making a decided success. Chanted conditions, such as the tremendous growth of cities in eastern New England, creating great markets, and the rapid rise in the cost of living make farming, even on the Cape, a • business increasingly worthy of consideration. The policy of the state is now to aid in the introduction of agricultural education thru- out its different -sections t:y establishing special schools, or depart- ments, for this purpose. There was established last spring at, Har- N.icu one of. these agricultural high school departments. Since industrial and soil conditions in -Yarmouth are similar to those in Harwich, and since this special department is open to our boys free of tuition (the state and town being required by law to pay the tuition under present circumstances) I wish to have our citizens gain an idea of the -work that this agricultural department aims to do. I. therefore, quote freely from the report of the instructor of this school, Mr. David Elder. "We have had a total enrollment of 17 pupils distributed by t.or'ns as follows: Harwich 11, Chatham 2, Orleans 2. Brewster 1, and Truro 1. In our text hook work the topics covered include the following: The nature, scope and importance of agriculture as an industry. and as a science; the relation 'Of the farmer to the com- munity. and to his environment; the improvement of plants and animals, including the principles of breeding,- heredity -and -selection as illustrated in the breeding of cattle, poultry, corn, potatoes, as- paragus and fruit; the propagation of plants, including a brief study of grafting, budding, cuttings, layers, seed germination and tests; plant food, its composition and sources; soils, their origin, compo- sition, formation, physical and chemical properties, relation to air, water, bacteria and plant, food; causes of decreased productivity; means of in:prove.nent, including a brief study of tillage, drainage, irrigation, increase of humus, use of lime and commercial fer- tilizers." "During the present term We will take some text book work on poultry and small . fruit, more on soils and •include considerable laboratory work on soils and fertilizers, and wire basket tests. •for fertilizer requirements of soil from pupils' home farms." • 1 1 119 "Each pupil has made a study of home gardening and bas had an opportunity to put his knowledge into practice on his own garden. Tied study has included such topics as preparation of the land, measuring. fertilizing, choice of varieties, planting, cultivation, Con- trol of insects and diseases." - "Each pupil who was registered during the first term made a home garden, harvested and marketed the products or used them at home. Accounts were kept of all receipts and expenses.. The ex- penses included cost of seeds, manure. supplies, rent of land, and man and horse labor, whether actually paid out or obtained free of charge." "Nearly all the boys were handicapped by a lack of horsepower and tools. This deficiency is a vital one and is evident with many Cape farmers. Ordinarily it is scarcely any more profitable to raise farm products by hand than to mike shoes by hand. When we con- sider that several of the boys n ever made a garden before and did all the work except plowing and harrowing by hand, their financial showing is excellent. The fact that they can pay expenses • with hand labor is pretty good evidence that they could do a very profitable business when properly equipped and more experienced. The boys are convinced of the value of horse work and thorough cultivation and will use more horses and better equipment next. year." Mr. Elder's report contains much additional interesting informa- tion regarding the advantages of our sandy soil, our climate, the kinds of crops, fruit, vegetable, and borage, best adapted to our con- ditions; soil improvement, crop rotations, poultry and dairying, and i markets. HELPFUL AGENCIES. - We who are close to the schools realize as few others do how big and difficult is the work of training for citizenship. We welcome with satisfaction, therefore, any promise of help in this direction. There has been effected a county organization of the Y. M. C. A.,. with a secretary who is to give his whole time to advancing the work among the boys of. our Cape towns. Progress will necessarily be slow, but this rural work of a great, association is bound to 'con- tribute considerably to the solution of some of our social problems. Side by side with the Y. M. C. A. organization is the Boy Scout movement. Its American originator, Mr. Ernest Thompson Seton, explains its purpose in the introduction to his "Boy Scouts of • 120 America" as follows: "Every American boy, n hundred years ago, lived either -on a farm or in such close touch with form life that he reaped its benefits. He had all the practical knowledge that conies from country surroundings: that, is, he could ride, shoot„ skate, run, swim: he was handy with tools: he knew the woods; he was physically strong. self-reliant, resourceful. well-develnped in body and brain. In addition he .lad good moral training at home. He was respectful 'to his superio'es, obedient to his parents. and • altogether the hest. material of which a nation could be made. "\\'e have lived to see an unfortunate change. Partly thru the de- cay of small farming, for each mixed form was a college of handi- craft., and partly thru the stereotyped forms of religion losing their hold. we see a diffcre,.t type of youth in the country today. It is the exception when we see a boy respectful to his superiors and obedient to his parents. It is the rare exception now when we see a boy who is handy with tools and capable of taking care of himself under all circumstances. It is the very, very rare exception when we see a boy whose life is absolutely governed by the safe old moral standards." It was in the hope of building up a great army of well-develnned, self-reliant boys thru this nrovement towards woodcraft and scouting that. the Boy Scouts came into being. The plans and methods in- volved are so interesting and pract'cal that I hope to be able another time to give an extended account of them. The beginnings of this movement have already been noted in one section of our town. It is a movement that teachers, parents and citizens generally should eueuurage and help. SCHOOL GROUNDS AND BUILDINGS. The grounds in front of the South Yarmouth building are in good condition and of attractive appearance, with the exception that, some of the division fencing on the south side needs renewing. A neat. iron fence similar to that which was put on the north side two years ago would be a marked improvement. The front yard at \Vest Ya!mouth is steadily, if slowly, being made better. This last seeson it was sown down and dressed. A new fence encloses the entire back end of the grounds and here the trees have been trimmed end under -brush removed, giving ample play room. . The front yard of the Yarrnouthport school remain_, the same and 121 1 renew my recommendation that a play, of improvement be adopted and carried out little by little each year Until the desired transfor- mation is effected. Tho different buildings are in. fair condition inside and out. Our greatest need is better lighting in both the Yarmouthport end South Yarmouth buildings and until some improvements in this respect are made these school rooms will not measure up to a modern standard. Some new blackboards, the need of which was spoken of in my last report, are beirig installed in the Yarmouthport building. 1n closing 1 wish to propose a change . in the date of this report. In view of the fact that the school year ends the last of June and not at the close of the calendar year in December, and in view, also, of the fact that our statistical returns are now made to the state board of Education in July, I recommend that your committee pass a rule requiring that "the superintendent shall prepare. and 'submit to the school committee his report upon the conditions of the schools during the month of July of each year and that said report shall be receivers and passed upon by the committee at either a regular or special meeting before Aucnrst first." This arrangement,, I am confident, would work for the conveni- ence of all concerned. Respectfully submitted, C. R. STACY. 122 PRESENT CARPS (1I' tNs'I'Ilt' TO18. Howard \V. Howes.

We respectfully submit herewith the annual report of the board ii of selectmen for the year 1913. We desire to call attention to the large amounts appropriated during the past year, which exceeded any appropriations of former years, and which, notwithstanding the fact of an increased valua- tion, made a raise of two dollars and fifty cents per thousand in the rate necessary, in order to secure the amount. required. { This result, was foreseen by this board when we urged in our report of 1912 that large appropriations be carefully guarded against. We again urge upon the voters that a like caution be exercised for expenditures of the present year, as the town has a larger amount of notes coming due this year than in any previous year, or that will be due in any future year so far as yet incurred. The total debt is as follows. Notes due in 1914, Notes due in 1915, Notes due in 1916, Notes due in 1917, Total debt in notes, $12 250 00 4 000 00 4 000 00 2 000 00- $22 250 00 It will be seen by this statement that more than one-half of the total debt of the town will have to be raised this year to meet these notes. The Fishery Regulations have been completed and approved by the boards of selectmen of Dennis and Yarmouth, and have been published and posted as required, and are now in force; as will be noted by reference to them, our shell fisheries are protected from inhabitants of other towns. The amendments and additions to the By -Laws of the town, as reco►nmended by this board, after a careful consideration, are in- cluded in the warrant for the annual meeting, and, we solicit your careful consideration of same before voting thereon... The new concrete . bridge over Bass river at South Dennis has been completed and the warrant calls for authority to pay for Yarmouth's share of the cost., which is twenty-five per cent. of 8 the whole. This structure is a permanent one so far as future maintenance is concerned in so far as it can be made, and reflects credit upon the builders, and the county and towns concerned in the safety of the travelling public, are to be congratulated. File desire to call attention to the improvements carried out under the town authorities at the Yarmouthport pier. There has been constructed a substantial walk above the tide for a distance of 65 feet from the upland to a large and commodious wharf, and also extending to a pier for bathing facilities at a very favorable location, together with a large building containing 23 bathhouses and store room below with. an open air pavilion above for those desiring to lunch and view the sea. This complete outfit, com- bining privileges of piers for boats and bathing facilities, has been made possible for all time to the inhabitants by the purchase of a part of the property and by the liberality of the Simpkins family, who donated the more valuable part of -the shore and water privilege. A roadway has also been filled•leading to the wharf, which makes it possible for teams to transport ice and fish to and from the pier to the public highway, a privilege heretofore impossible and one which should be of great value and convenience to our fishermen. The selectmen have called for an appropriation of 81,000.00 to pay town debts in the list of estimates for the current year. This sum is needed to pay bills as follows, so far as yet received: Poor department: December bilis for poor in town and annual bill for out of town poor, , Miscellaneous Bills:. December ills:- December bills received after Jan. 1, Suppression crime, by order First District court, Roads: Expended over amount raised in 1912, Nest Yar- mouth department, • Bridges: - - 25 per cent. repairs R. R. Lower bridge, 1912, Estimated: Bilis not yet received, Total, 8349 99 82 12 13 19 265 44 143 55 145 71 SI 000 00 It is because bills like aho..e are not received until after the books for the year are closed, that the appropriation for town debts • A 9 is necessary. The balance in the town treasury, January 1 is de- ducted from the amount of the annual appropriation. 4 - The selectmen understand that there are unpaid bills in the school department to the arnount of several hundred dollars, which represents the amount expended over the amount raised for the ` year, excepting such amounts as have been drawn over the appro..' priat.ions. These bills have not been included in our estimate for town debt appropriation, because being in the hands of the school committee, we presume they will be paid from the regular appro- priation for 1914. The selectmen desire to thank all town officers and committees who have so cordially worked with them during the past year for the interests of the town. Respectfully submitted, CHARLES R.

The assessors submit herewith their annual report: We call attention to the fact that the valuation of the town bas exceeded by considerable the 82 500 000 00 nark for the first time, and although the rate was higher the past year, on account of larger expenditures authorized by the Voters, yet we apprehend this is only a temporary rise, and that after the present year we can see no reason why the rate will not again be as low as in the past. We recommend an economical year for appropriations in so far as possible. Respectfully submitted, CHARLES R. BASSETT, LUTHER R. BROWN, EDWARD T.

We submit herewith the report of the Poor department for 1913: The number of cases requiring aid has somewhat increased during_ the past year, and on account of the higher prices of the necessaries of life and the cost of boarding out, the expenses of this department have been somewhat advanced. Acting under authority granted us at the last town meeting t0 dispose of the old almshouse property, and with the funds ob- tained therefrom to establish a new home for the poor, every effort has been made to obtain a purchaser, but up to the present writing none has been found. The number of poor requiring to be boarded out and the cost of same under these conditions, where it is absolutely necessary that a home be found for those in need, has been necessarily in- creased. In cases of sickness it is almost impossible to provide locations for wards at any price. • Respectfully submitted, CHARLES R. BASSETT, LUTHER R. BROWN, EDWARD T. CHASE, Overseers of Poor.

The Board of Health submit herewith their report for the year 1913: The only contagious disease prevalent in town during the past year has been measles. This disease has been quite general. throughout the town, but of a very light nature. There have been no fatal cases. No strict, quarantine was maintained, simply a placarding of the house, which gives notice to all persons of the existence of the infectious disease therein, and they can thus avoid entering if they so desire.-- • The list, of diseases which was printed in our report of last year has been unchanged, and under the laws all HOUSEHOLDERS and PHYSICIANS are required to give IMMEDIATE notice to this BOARD. Respectfully, CHARLES R. BASSETT, . LUTHER R. BROWN, EDWARD T. CHASE, Board of Health- REPORT OF MOTH SUPERINTENDENT.. I submit herewith my report for the year :1943: The brown tail moth pest has become so general throughout the commonwealth that I have received instructions to remove their nests only from the highways and from the residential portions of the town, which has been thoroughly done. The gypsy moth pest has been found , in many locations within the town during the past season, the locality in Yarmouthport ex- tending from Railroad avenue to the schoolhouse is quite generally infested, also two colonies have been located in the lower part of the village of Yarmouth, and several in the village of South Yar- mouth. Three large woodland colonies covering several acres each have been located upon the road leading from South Yarmouth to Yarmouth, and one colony, in the woodland at Hockanom. All of these have been thoroughly treated with creosote, and at the proper time will be sprayed and the underbrush burned. It seems certain that we shall have to carry on a continual fight against the gypsy pest- for some years to come, as the state author- ities are very insistent that this pestshall be destroyed to the full. The financial statement of this department will be found itemized in the selectmen's financial report. Respectfully submitted, CHARLES R. BASSETT, Superintendent. REPORT OF INSPECTORS OF SLAUGHTERING. AND REPORT OF INSPECTORS OF ANIMALS. Attention is called to the fact that under these two departments the selectmen have made appointments so that really they are con- solidated as one, so far as the inspectors are one and the same. Attention is again called to the fact that no person shall slaughter any animal intended to be used as human food, without notice to and in the presence of an inspector, in order that the animal may be inspected and branded at that time. The law provides a severe penalty for any person having in their possession the carcass of any animal not so branded. " Respectfully submitted, • P. E. HANNAN, F. F. COLLINS, J. F. NICKERSON, Inspectors of Animals and Slaughtering. REPORT OF TRUSTEES SEARS FUND.

SWIFT, PUBLISHER AND PRINTER, THE "REGISTER" PRESS, 1914. SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT. To the School Committee of Yarmouth, Massachusetts. Gentlemen: In compliance with the rule, recently passed by your board, requiring the superintendent to submit his report covering the school year ending the last of June some time during the month of July, I herewith present my� fifth report, which is the twenty-second in the series of the district superintendent's reports. The object of such reports, in the main, is to inform the com- munity of the condition, aims and needs of the schools. CONDITIONS. For the past four years there has been a consistent effort on the part of the school officials to increase the efficiency of the teach-- ing corps. The familiar assertion that the teacher is the school will bear many repetitions. This year, as last, it can be asserted that the • corps, as a whole, has gained in professional strength. There are two ways in which this result is attained. First, by paying higher salaries than formerly and second, as a result of paying more, by selecting carefully young teachers of strong per— sonality who give promise of developing good teaching ability, or by securing teachers already of experience and proven ability. There is still room, however, for further advance in this direction._ We are at present paying our high school assistant too small a. salary to get, as a rule, an instructor of skill and force. Only by a fortunate circumstance have we been able to have this past year the services of a capable and experienced teacher in the person • of Miss White. Again, if the policy of' having a man teacher in the South Yarmouth grammar school is to be continued, a larger maximum salary should go with that position. We have been pay- ing an average salary of $80 per month, or $720 a year. At the present time r. live, well-equipped young man is likely to coin- mand 8900 or $1000 a year. I feel it is a misfortune for a child, particularly a boy, to completehis elementary school course with- out having come into contact with a man instructor. Not that thea man is necessarily a better teacher than the woman but that both the masculine and feminine elements should be represented in the elementary • school experience of the pupil as well as in the high school. Consequently, I am adverse to recommending a return- to - the practise of employing a woman principal in this school which 4 has been served by a man for the last several years, even tho the cost per pupil is considerably greater. In this mention of teachers and salaries, it is well to record the fact that the last legislative year witnessed the passage of a state teachers' pension law which will go into operation in the summer of 1914. This statute is a well deserved recognition of the merits of a hard working, generally poorly paid profession. It will ac- complish much personal good and at the same time will safeguard the efficiency of the profession from the deterioration likely to occur thru physical incapacity and old age. But this law imposes a burden, even if not a very heavy one, upon the teacher in the shape of an assessment of from three to five per cent. of her yearly salary. This will make present salaries, already none too ample, a little more scanty for application to current living ex- penses. Yarmouth has always kept its school buildings in good repair. When a few improvements are made in the lighting of the school rooms and in the out -buildings at Yarmouthport and at South Yar- mouth, and in the heating at South Yarmouth and West Yarmouth, all buildings will be in excellent shape. Attention has been called in previous reports to the yards in front of the buildings. These should be .the most attractive spots in the villages in which they are located. The South Yarmouth front is already well cared for. Marked improvement has been made at West Yarmouth. The one at Yarmouthport is without attention up to this date. AIMS. Yarmouth because of its financial strength can afford to have one of the best school systems in the state. This should be the general aim. In many important particulars it is already in the forefront. Among country towns it has been a pioneer in the transportation of pupils, the supervised teaching of music and drawing, and the introduction of the manual and domestic arts. It has received great help along these lines from progressive -minded, private beneficence. It has only to go on gradually, but steadily, adjusitng the system to the changing social and industrial con- ditions of the Cape. The specific aims included within this general aim are fairly definite so far as the elementary school (the primary grades and grammar grades) is concerned. ' They are to - give the child possession of the tools .ofeducation= reading; writing, -spelling, the fundamental number operations, the "High point" geographical facts, an outline of the history of our country, some appreciation of music, of art so far as it is revealed in simple terms of form and color, and a little experience (little when compared to craftsman- ship) in the use of common tools and utensils of the home and - shop. Also, the child needs to be trained in the substantial: virtues of punctuality, regularity, orderliness, truthfulness, obedience, and it readiness to co-operate with others in groups and for the com- mon .good. In the accomplishment of these moral and social aims the assistance of the home is of vital importance. When we come to the high or secondary, school the situation is not so clear. The old conception of the high. school as a prepara- tory or fitting school for the higher institutions, a place in which it was the case of the survival of the intellectually fittest. with the falling out. of the "non -book -minded" is rapidly . passing away. - The training of girls as home -makers, of boys in such mechanical and manual activities as fit for intelligent vocational choice, and of both boys and girls in commercial branches- are all of recognized value. In this direction Yarmouth has made commendable advance, 1 especially when the limitations of the small country high school • are kept in mind. It still remains, however, for agriculture to find a practical place in the curriculum. This field has scarcely' been touched on the Cape as yet. • The avenue leading to. the colleges and normal schools must be held open to. all those with the ambition, ability, or means to follow this road. But the high school must fit more and • more helpfully other boys and girls for beginning life, a "bread and but- ter existence, when they leave school." 1 NEEDS. The discussion of the previous topics—conditions and aims— hao uncovered the needs. These may be briefly summarized as fol- lows: Larger wages in two specific eases, together with the con- tinuance of a very liberal attitude towards this matter of salaries as a whole; further improvements in lighting and heating of build- ings and in the condition of yards; and the greatest possible broad- ening of the high school courses of studies in order to train for practical life. - 6 In closing this report, which is the last r shall have the honor to make in my present capacity, I wish to express my keen appre- ciation of the unswerving loyalty of the teaching force, the uniform and cordial support of the school committee, and the in- telligent and generous interest of the community that have char- acterized my experience while serving the schools of the town. Moreover, I bespeak for my successor the valuable aid• of these same forces as he goes on with the work. Respectfully submitted, C. R. STACY, Superintendent of Schools. West. Yarmouth, Maas. duly• 15, 1919. REPORT ON LIGHT AND SANITARY CONDITIONS. To the School Committee of Yarmouth, Massachusetts, Gentlemen: --. - - -- - - In response to your request that I make some report as to the lighting condition of the school rooms of the town, I hereby sub- mit ubmit the following: Last year the legislature passed an act giving the state police the power to regulate concerning the amount of light necessary for school rooms. In compliance with their duty the state police issued an order to take effect November 1, 1913, which stated that the light ratio must be one to five, or, in other words, that for every five square feet of floor space there must be one square foot of light space. I have made a careful investigation to determine how near the school rooms of Yarmouth meet the provisions of the state law with the following results: School. High, Yarmouth Grammar, Yarmouth Intermediate, Yarmouth Primary, South Yarmouth Grammar, South Yarmouth Intermediate, South Yarmouth Primary, West Yarmouth Grammar, West Yarmouth Primary, Ratio. 1 to 15. 1 to 13. 1 to 10. 1 to 10. 1 to 20. 1 to 11. 1 to 11. 1 to 7. Ito 7. These figures show that something must be done to improve light conditions. I recommend the following: That five windows, each having a glass area of twenty-five square feet, be placed in the west end of the Yarmouth High and Intermediate rooms. These windows should have their sills at • least four feet from the floor and should extend as near the ceiling as possible. This will tend to keep . the direct rays from the lower glass out of the pupils' eyes and cause a larger amount of light to be reflected from the ceiling. They should be placed as near as possible in order to prevent the light from entering in bands with deadly effect upon the children's .eyes. The seats in both 8 of the above rooms would then have to be changed to . face the north in order to admit the light over the. left shoulder and prevent half shadows on the •desks. The old windows on the north would have to be removed or covered in some way to keep the scholars from facing the light. In as much as these rooms have a width of thirty-three feet, eight feet more than the distance light .will ordinarily carry effectively t'.lrough a plane glass, it iuiaybe necessary to equip the upper sashes with prism glass. Shades should be so arranged as to pull up from the bottom as the upper fourth of a window ad:nits one-third of the light and should not be covered. The Yarmouth Grammar and Primary rooms should have the same number of windows of the same size placed in the east end of the building. Tle seats should then be changed to face the south, the windows on that side being removed and the windows on the north remaining as they are at present. The building at South Yarmouth would need a total of nineteen windows of • the "same size as those already there in order to bring the light ratio in the three class rooms and. the shop up to the state requirement. The blackboards in the Grammar school would have to be removed from the wall on the outside. of the building, in order to make room for the windows, and placed on the opposite side of the room. The upper sashes would in all probably have to be equipped with prism glass in order to diffuse the light properly. The Rest Yarmouth rooms are not badly lighted at the present time owing to the fact that they are very narrow. -They would need, however, two windows placed on the side of each room to • make their ratio one to five. . I take the liberty of calling attention to the fact that the out- buildings at Yarmouth were recently condemned by the state in- spector of buildings, who ordered that urinals and •more seats be provided for the boys, that some arrangement be made to. separate the lower grade children from the grammar and high school pupils, and that the outbuildings be removed farther away from the schoolhouse in order to prevent odors from entering the class rooms. As something must be done to improve the sanitary con- ditions, it seems to nye that a far better investment would be to secure a gasolene engine with a pressure or gravity system tank and have running water throughout the building with proper. lava - 9 tories in the basement. I am sure that this ' would meet with the approval of the inspector. In closing this report, I wish to express my appreciation of the Loyalty and co-operation rendered to me by the teachers and com- mittee since entering this new work. • Respectfully .submitted, January i0, 1914.
