There are many persons in the town of Yarmouth who are as yet unfamiliar with what the Cape Cod Health tureen is doing for them. Briefly, it is an alliance of Cape Cod Towns with 'the United States Government for the purpose of improving health conditions. t . Unsanitary conditions, directly or indirectly, affectour busi- ness; for example, continued sewage contamination of shell -fish beds will shut our product out of city markets, \i here the Boards of Health are unusually Active this year. Contiiiiied production of unclean milk will bring in outside products and eventually discourage local dairymen. Wells contaminated by sewage or drainage will interfere with summer rentals and boarders. All of these conditions have occurred during the past six months; and have been met in a manner satisfactory to all. The protection of the life and health of our own children and also of our, summer residents -is of paramount importance: We cannot forget that the first draft found thirty percent of the young men from the country at large were defective physically. This. - same draft found Cape Cod with forty-seven percent defective. Our annual loss in life from diseases dangerous to the public health -in Barnstable County, when measured in money value, is approx- imately $150;000. This figure allows nothing for the expenses incurred during the illness resulting in death. - The period already covered has hardly sufficed to acquaint us 'with the territory and conditions. Gradually the•danger points. are being found and •means planned to eradicate them. So_ many _ people are now realizing that conditions which have long been tolerated may be remedied that we find it hard to meet the . de- mand with the present force and funds. • it is hoped that every citizen of the town will show his inter- est in the welfare of his family and community in calling to our t attention notice. 102 'any and all unsanitary conditions coming to his or her The following are the completed activities to date in the town of Yarmouth: - Dairy inspections, 43 Milk analyzed, 44 Samples below standard, 6 Sanitary inspections, 22 Nuisances, Lectures, • Children examined for suspected com- municable diseases, • 3 3 523 Respectfully submitted, R.

To the School Committee of Yarmouth, Gentlemen : - I am -hereby submitting to your interested consideration the annual report from this office, including the reports of the year from the principal of the tigh 'school, the supervisor of domestic science, the commercial teacher, the supervisor of music and Dr. Sprague, relative to the welfare of the.schools. Out of the twelve teachers employed in the schools, nine entered .our service for the--fiist time last September. Mr. Hey- mann, teacher of manual training, Miss Trickey, supervisor of music, and bliss Eloise Baker, primary teacher at South Yarmouth, are the only teachers who were with us last year. Of the new teachers Mr. Howard E. Bedell is principal of, and Misses Helen L. Warren, Pauline M. Kimball and Alene M. Crosby are assistants in the John Simpkins High . school ; Miss Deborah Goldman in the grammar and Miss Marion Dow in the primary in the John Simp- kins building; Miss Lillian M. Besse in the grammar and Miss Pearl M. Johnson in the primary at West Yarmouth;. and bur. Edward W. Lewis in the grammar at South Yarmontli. All`the new teachers are making good and the former teachers are maintaining their excellent standard of efficiency. . Given a good corps of teachers, the standard of our schools cannot be materially raised unless these can be held for a period of several years' service. To hold such teachers there ,must be some inducement such as a yearly increment of salary for several years. It would seem that the time is now ripe for a salary schedule with—yearly increases.- Teachers- who have no expectancy for future increases in salary are more easily induced to change to a system where there are many more privileges that appeal to a young pian or woman and to one which has a progressive increase of salary extending over. a period of several years. It would almost seem that the town should not consider . aying its teachers when entering its service, less than it is now rasing. namely. twelve hundred dollars. Now for a tentative schedule, suppose the salaries of all new teachers except the principal of the high school start at twelve i:undred dollars for the minimum and increase by the addition of L-erhaps one hundred dollars each year until a maximum of fifteen hundred dollars :has .been reached. Such an arrangeennt would of course require teachers to *measure up to certain standards of attainments when hired and Cnat they be professionally progressive during their tenure of ser- vice. It would' seem that such a schedule might do much to arrest t' -._e ceaseless changing of teachers that now exists. The salary of the principal possibly should begin at eighteen tLindred to two thousand dollars .with an inerease.perbaps of .one Lundred dollars for the three or four succeeding years. A large per cent. of the trouble in discipline 'in our schools comes from the children whose 'parents do not discipline them suf- ficiently at home. Soine children think they` are privileged to talk as saucily 'to their teacher as they do to other people. _These parents and citizens who, -without doubt; idly and thoughtlessly erEticise and belittle the teachers in the presence of the boys .and girls of the community are doing them a very great harm -per- senally, and causing them to assume a wrong attitude towards the teacher and their school work. The harm done to these boys and gals will not be measured by -their school life alone but by their wire future Iife. That the - community may full, realize the necessity of their active co-operation in the establishing of high and active ideals and right attitude toward life" in the lives of the children of our community is something to be devoutly hoped for. The work in domestic science should be, progressive from the fifth grade to the finishing of the work in the high school. Such a program suitable to our local condition is .being worked -out. 711 is. hoped 'that such a program may include home projects for which credit may be given in addition to. that earned in the school. ` There seems to be a call for some new and additional equip- ment in the manual training department in order to enlarge the scope of work. , For some years now on account of the high cost of material and -labor not much has been -done in the way of repairs. The time has now come when there must be a considerable outlay in repairs on the John Simpkins building. The building at West Yarmouth needs immediate attention. Repairs on "the . John Simpkins building is the most pressing: The -attendance in the high school is slowly increasing. The housing for the high school pupils is not adequate. Three more rooms at least are imperatively needed. In conclusion, I wish to express my appreciation of your co-operation. Respectfully submitted, ALBERTO W. SMALL 7 REPORT OF PRINCIPAL. • -To the Superintendent of -Schools:. - I have the honor to submit :my first report as principal of - i Tarmouth High school. • - Yarmouth High school opened on September 12th with 59 1 pupils, 25 boys and.34 girls. The present enrollment is 6I, of whom _ ! 29 are boys and 35 girls. There are 22 Freshmen, • 16 Sophomores, :4 Juniors. 10 Seniors and one Post Graduate, The enrollment- , year is larger than it has been for years as far as I can { ascertain. It is encouraging to know that so important an insti- tution as the high"school is not falling behind in the matter of :t ambers aided in the endeavor for au 'education. The statistics of attendance are of interest also. The percent- zees of attendance for September, October and November were . 6.31, 95'4 and 95.3 respectively. Since approximately one-half he pupils of the school are conveyed by • barge and since the re- mainder are not required to travel an excessive distance to school . Li seems that our attendance percentage should be higher. It ap- .;lears that parents sometimes fail to regard school attendance as . seriously as they should: It is of the utmost importance that each ;nipil should be present every day when possible. Absence retards 'he -absentee, takes the'time of the .teacher from the other pupils and thus. slows up the,work of the -whole class. Absence should be poked upon as a privilege only to be used in case of illness or treme circumstances. • - The social side of school life is of importance as iwell as the eholastic side. It often provides the. impetus whereby a boy or _irl is kept in school. The senior class has done very- well thus far in accumulating - money for their coming graduation. Through the co-operation of ,tee Domestic Science department they have sold lunches, realizing - a -substantial -profit. The sales were Well handled and furnished a s.ource of income very worth while. The seniors also have held -.me dance which was well attended and added substantially to • • • their. funds. At present they have approximately seventy dollars in the class treasury. Before spring this class plans to present a play. 'Without a doubt this will give them ample funds for their graduation. • We wish to have all activities of this nature com- pleted early so there will be nothing to conflict with application to studies as the year draws to a close. Recently the Athletic association has been revived. It. has plans under way for the raising of money to support the basket _ball team and later on the baseball team. It is rather difficult to accomplish a great deal in bas'ket`ball with the •facilities we have. 3 r This is a. game which requires years -of practice to gain real pro- ficiency. Last year was the first attempt made with this branch of sport and so we must not expect too much this year. However, thespiritof the players is good and they can make the team a credit to the- school. • Through th8 co-operation of the Commercial and English de- -.partments it -is hoped that we can publish a school paper consisting of two issues, one during the winter and one at graduation time. This, if well carried out, can be of great value as part of the school work and will help -to stimulate school spirit. We are endeavoring to develop in the pupils the ability to • take _part in exercises. This is a very. difficult task because it involves the overcoming of those deep seated aversions to facing our fellows and expressing ourselves which are omnipresent With most of us. It' is a great asset to -a man or woman to be able to face an audience fearlessly and say what he or she thinks. We hope by the end of the year to give our pupils enough practice of - this nature to develop a somewhat better attitude on their part toward appearance before an audience. - The following studies are to be offered for the school year September 1922 to June 1923. • Latin I.

Typewriting IL Typewriting 'III. - Commercial Arithmetic Introductory Business and Commercial Geography • Domestic Science Drawing and Wood Work First year Latin is enumerated in the list of studies offered and will be taught provided a sufficient number elect. it to justify engaging a teacher qualified to teach the .subject. ' It is apparent that studies listed above have not all been taught during the present year. The reason for this is.the fact • that we are forced to combine certain of our classes owing to small teaching force. This causes certain studies -to conte on alter- nate years, viz., chemistry is taught to Juniors and, Seniors this 2 - year and physics will be taught Juniors and Seniors next."' year. After each study above appears the class or classes for whom . the study is designed. This does not prevent a pupil in a higher class taking a study intended for a lower class but this practice - is not common nor advisable. It is appropriate in this report to briefly tell of work being - done in some of our classes. All the members of the Freshman class are subscribing .to the Literary Digest at the present. time." This magazine is being used throughout the country and is recog- nized, along with the Outlook and the Atlantic Monthly, to be of Seniors' Sophomores Juniors Seniors Sophomores Freshmen for alI for all. 10 great value in school work. This magazine is useful in Engtis -work as well as in Civics and Current History. We have found it - of great value in keeping up with the Disarmament Conferenee as our governor requested all schools to do. We hope that before the end of the year every pupil in school will be a subscriber to some magazine of this type which can be used as additional teat books. In connection with the study of the Conference at Washington we have also been using the newspapeis. The Commercial department is discussed in another report_ It is gratifying that certain -pupils in this department are am- bitious to achieve proficiency. This is evident 'from the recog- nitions of merit which certain girls have received from one of the typewriter companies., This department is also doing practifeal work in mimeographing for the school and in typewriting the school correspondence. - - - ' . The -Domestic Science classes are proving popular. Prac- tically all the ;girls in school are taking classes in this department. The work is gradually to be graded and worked out so that from year to year girls will -not repeat but will encounter new problems thus increasing the interest and value in the study. The Ma nal Training department offers an exceptional opt ur- tu_lity in vacations. It is evident .from the quality of work beEng done by some of the boys that they are learning to use their hands and are learning themeaning of accuser We cannot make carpenters of all boys any more than we can make- good mathematicians of them all but the r^,Tnv vocations are made more aeeessible to them through the training they are receiving here. Soine opponents of vocational edueation -advance the argument that since we eannot teach all the_thousand or so vocations in school we should not attempt any of .them. It isn't the fact that very few are going to become 'carpenters from those taking manual training now -which should concern us but it is the fact that we are teaching these boys to use their hands and to be aceurate in their work. This fits them for almost any other vocation better than they otherwise could he fitted. 1I - This year we are- introducing the eumulatiti,e working systea.. Under this system the marks appearing on the report•card at sue= cessive periods designate the attainment reached for the whole year up to that time. - In this way pupils can always understand just what their ranks are for the -whole year at any time. This does away with the necessity for averaging to ascertain standing • because the last work given is always the degree of attainment for the year up to that date. It is our purpose also to strive toward certain worthy goals in our field. One of the most important tasks confronting us is the maintaining of high standards of scholastic attainment. This requires a great amount of co-operation on the part of the parents with the school as well as among the teachers. The marking is to be strict and consequently some pupils will fail during the year from lack of serious application to work. Application to work can be fostered at home. where parents can insist upon regular hours of study which will be in proper proportion to hours of rest and recreation. As long as the present attitude of indifference toward study prevails among many of our pupils there will be a large percentage, of failures. Parents have •been notified during . the past when it seemed that their attention. should be drawn _especially to the work of their children. This practice will con- tinue in the hope- that it may have some beneficial effect on the pupils concerned. - "'In conclusion we wish to express our gratitude to the people -- of Yarmouth for the hearty support they have given the school during the year, and to the Superintendent and School Committee for their co-operation in helping us to make -the school efficient and effective.. Respectfully submitted; • HOWARD E. BEDELL 12 REPORT OF THE WORK OF THE DEPARTMENT OF DOMESTIC SCIENCE. To Alberto W. Small, Superintendent of Schools: Following is an outline of the work now being done and planned for the remainder of the year under the reorganization of .this department. In the spring an exhibition w.i11 be given, which will. shoe' in part, -the work done throughout the year. Sewing. The sewing in the grammar grades of Yarmouth, South Yar- •mouth and 'West Yarmouth is carried on under the same plan. In grades five and six the pupils are beginners, and their work is confined to the fundamental hand sewing stitches such as basting, overcasting, backstitching, hemming, overhanding, and their .applications. To accomplish this they are making bags, - aprons. and needle .books. •In grade seven the work is a continuation of that in grade six, with the application of stitches on more difficult. problems, 'including simple undergarments. In grade eight the pupil learns machine stitching and its application. especially in connection with various seams. An en- • deavor is made to teach • the proper use of the stitches and seams, as well as the actual sewing. - Darning. mending and repair work of various kinds is an i• essential part of the course, and is 'uciroduced progressively in the grades. - - The sewing in Nigh school is likewise meant to be progressive, each girl being assigned a definite number of articles to complete during the year. In the Freshman .class each girl will make two undergar- ments. of more complicated construction •than those made in the grades; a middy blouse and an outside skirt. The making of the blouse involves cutting from a commercial pattern: In the Sophomore class .the work is similar to that of the A - 13 _ Freshman elass. The problems become more difficult, and 'a ging- ham dress is added to the list. In the Junior class one -hand made article is required. In addition to this the student has the privilege of making a limited number of articles which she may need. • In the Senior class the program is more varied, and consists of hand made underthings for graduation, a gingham dress, a woolen dress, and work in millinery. A knowledge of textiles; together with their manufacture and. buying, is a part of the' high school work.. In connection with the buying. a trip to Boston for the purpose of -selecting their graduation dresses, has been planned for the Senior girls. .This will take place during the spring .vacation, and will include visits to the Museum of Fine Arts, the 'Library, and possibly an evening at a good theatre. - The highest possible standard for all work has been set. however. in a sewing class no girl need be held back to wait for others, •hnt may advance as rapidly as she is able. .So in all classes things additional to those. planned will be made. according to the ability of the individual. A girl graduating as a domestic science pupil of the High school should well know how to efficient- ly and economically plan, buy, cut, fit and make her own clothes. Cookery. . The cooking in the High school will not be as progressive as the sewing., because the .necessity of the three upper classes taking their work together is a handicap to much advancement in such a subject. The Freshmen begin their work by preparing fruits, cereals, and the necessary foods for a breakfast. A discussion of table setting and serving follows, with a final combination -of all the pre- ceding lessons in the actual preparation .and serving of a break- fast. This is repeated, using different forms of menu and methods Of serving. The preparation of foods for, and the serving of a supper or luncheon is taken up in the same manner. Aside from 1 1 • . . 14- - • . • . the actual' cookery, the nutritive and economic value of foods is:. brought forward. • . • . . The Upper class work has been started in much the same.way ' as that of the first year students. It will, however, take up more - :difficult problems, such as the cooking and serving of a. dinner, and the making of bread and pastry. In'addition there will be instruction in the making of menus according to the nutritive- • . value and cost of food. . . . The packed lunch, such as a child carries to school, seems a •vital problem which will be considered with the girls; so that they - may prepare 'for themselves a lunch which will be- wholesome and attractive. Another year, if it could be so arranged, it would be well to open a lanch counter where hot cocoa and soup could be bought. • . • : ,. I believe that because of the limited tine allowed for the elasses, opportunity should be given at ome--for the girls to re- peat that which they have learned in school. It is true, as eyery- housewife knoik-s, that only practice. and experience make cookery • a success. It may be found advisable in the futufe, to take the cookery and sewing in the High school in alternate years, rather - than taking both subjeets simultaneously. Housekeeping is no small part of domestic science -training._ This includes the proper proeedure for -dish washing, dusting,, sweeping, and the general care of the home. Each girl is made to - feel the responsibilities of the whole -kitchen -even though she may be assigned a definite -work for one lesson. In this way a kindly spirit of co-operation and helpfulness results. - At all times an-. effort has been made to keep the students interested, and the les -4. sons Wholly pradical. . . -- - – Respectfully submitted, . . • ' PAULINE M. KIMBALL. January 1,-1922. • . . . REPORT OF COMMERCIAL INSTRUCTOR. • Mr. A. W. Sniall, Supenintendent, • My dear Mr. Small: • . I am pleased to give you a report covering tlie- work I have accomplished thus far. and what I shall endeavor- to (lo in the re- mainder of the school year in the commercial course. The subjects given. in this course are .Type-tanriting. to the Seniors, Seniors, Juniors and Sophomores; 'Shorthand to the -Seniors and Juniors; Commercial Arithmetic to the Sophomores. ;and Introdue-. tory Business Methods to -the Freshmen. • We are living in a thne when the young men •and women should specialize in some particular profession or line of brasincss—some- thing that they can do particularly well, .and therekr make them- selves valuable to their employe -I- besides earning their ownliving. If. a young student is not able to go to normal schcd or -college it is .advisable to specialize in some one course in a 1igh school if it offers anything other than the college preparatory Ktourse in its eurrictilum. The 'Yarmouth High school, I believe, provides good equipment for a commercial. course for those desiring to take it. At Present the Seniors are taking in shorthand alma seventy words per minute from dictation of new letters. These are tran- scribed- on the typewriter and passed in for cot-recd.:4i. Also an article taken from selected readings' is written in.sborthand and copied ten times and then transcribed. This gives practice in the writing of correct outlines, and enables them to acquire greater -speed. It is my desire that at the end of the year an average of. from one hundred to one hundred twenty-five word per -minute may be attained. The Juniors Are taking up the theory of shorthand_ The' first 1 Year should cover all theory, some reading -of shorthand notes, and possibly a little dictation.. The last is not as esntial as a -thorough knowledge of rules and principles which gire the back- -ground necessary in order to become a good stenographer. Constant practice makes the good typist. Studeeits of type- • I6 writing I. are working on drills consisting of groups of letters and' - simple words. -The advanced students are copying long letters; once each month I give- them a regular. test sent in by the Under- wood Typewriter Company. • One student has won a eertificate• of proficiency awarded by•this company, and another has won not only the certificate but a bronze medal, also.. The Underwood Company keeps a list of those who have won speed tests and en-- -deavors to procure them good positions if desired. The course in conunereial arithmetic. assists the students to • solve many problems, but mainly those related to a business office, bank. etc. Introductory business methoda, although given in ele- mentary form, guides the student in the handling of checks, notes, drafts and other coximercial papers, which should always be val- nahle to him as an individual. even though he never . uses his knowledge for the benefit of another. • I cannot let this report end without making some mention of our work on the mimeograph. With it we have made enough copies of the favorite songs for all the students, and by co-oper- ating with the Principal and English. teacher, all our printing for.. holiday exercises is made from it. It is my aim to instruct all. Juniors and Seniors in the use of this machine so that by grad- . nation. all necessary printed matter .at that time may be done at - the school. . . • - This, then. is the general program for -the -secretarial or coni- mercial course, which I shall strive faithfully to carry out. No• school or college eaii train a student for one particular husiness. or man. but it can, give the student the foundation for entering the • services of any office in the commercial world. , Respectfully. submitted, HELEN L. WARREN' • REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC. • To the Superintendent of -Schools of Yarmouth, Dear Sir e I submit to you a brief report covering, the work done in music in the schools of Yarmouth. The work in inusic is far ahead of the work done in the - schools last year at this time. Some of the schools' show much, more interest in the work and. better results are obtained. There is always a change in the schools every going from the grammar grades into the high sc ool.QaThusildsomeY of the best pupils in music have left the grammar grades. This means, that new arrangement of parts are to be made and children,: rho have been singing a certain part must learn to sing another. They find -it rather difficultat. first, but they arerog well and it is my opinion that the •enjoy-it, p retsthe vire 3 it seems a hard task. e�,oy. it, although at the time The high school music is not up to the standard .I wish. I feel_ that there has been a little improvement since a year ago. M} desire is to do entirely four part music, but the pupils take so little interest that it is impossible to do much of that work. I find my work most interesting and I am in hopes to be able- - to teach such music as will interest children, and teach them to: love music. The purpose of music in the public schools is not to educate - children in singing alone, but to provide them with a musical ex— perience and to teach them to appreciate good music. Respectfully submitted, DORIS M. TRICKSY- • 18 REPORT or HEALTH OFFICER AND MEDICAL SCHOOL . . INSPECTOR. , '. Mr. Alberto W. Small, Superintendent of Schools, . • -"Yarmouth, Mass. , 'Dear Sir: . - The Cape - Cod Health Bureau began active work about the middle of .lune 1921, hence, our first annual report is annual, in name only. The fiscal year of the Bureau does not coincide with that of the towns in which we -work, and because of the govern- ment subsidy cannot be changed ,at present. This does. not mean that the towns will receive any less work for their appropriation. The services of the Bureau are paid in full to .Juile 1922. The first three and a half mouths of the school year. with the many holidays and emergency calls, has not stifficed to _complete the survey of the twenty-one hundred school children under our .. supervision. . . It was Yarmouth that receiVed the benefit from the first work of the Bureau in suppressing an outbreak of diphtheria. Follow- ing the closing of schools at this thine, a house to house visit was made, and the throats of all children who had in any vr_ay come ' in contact with the original ease were cultured. Two children _ - were found who were carrying the germs of diphtheria without showing symptoms of the disease. The prompt treatment of this • situation removed the possibility of these children spreading the • • .• infection while not knowing they were infected with the disease. In December we. were again fortunate in limiting an outbreak of scarlet fever to one case. In general the co-operation that the Cape Cod Beath Bureau has met with on the part of the parents in Yarmouth has been very gratifying, and prophesies the oppor- tunity for unusual progress in our community. Very extensive surveys have established certain normal standards by which the nutrition of children can be mesured. It • is found that among school children as a. whole twenty per -cent are below the nornial. In this twenty per -cent are those who are.. _ . , • . • - below in their studie.s, those who are most liable to contract the • contagious \diseases of childhood and who lay the foundation for adult tuberculosis. Bright's disease, heart trouble, and other less - serious but trouble -some and efficiency reducing diseases. In our study of the Yarmouth children forty-six per -cent are belovi the normal nutritional standard, and fall into the class just. mentioned. With the aid of the Red Cross nurse, supplied by the Cape Cod Chapter of the American Red Cross, and the financial assistance of the Public Health Association of Barnstable County, we shall be able to .start the Dr. William R. P. Emerson type of nutritional classes during the month of January. As you are no doubt aAvare, this work requires a special training, and I can heartily recommend Miss Agnes M. Raymond of the Red Cross as competent to carry- it on. This work can. only be a success, how- ever, with the elosst co-operation on the part of parents, teach- • ers, school nurse and family physician. Funds being available for • only- five classes at the present time, there will be but one in each - of five towns. Each will consist of twenty children most needing the work, or , whose parents are most willing to co-operate. - - While the children of the South are handicapped by hook- worm, malaria, and typhoid fever, the boys and girls of New Eng- land are burdened by the tradition that ``what was good enough for their grandfathers is good enougb. for them." We must face the fact that the world our boys and girls find to make a living in• is as different. from that of our grandfathers' time as Thibet is different from New York. We cannot forget that while the coun- try at large showed -that thirty per -cent of the men coming up 'for the draft were defective physically, Cape Cod must live under - the stigma of having forty-seven per -cent defeetive. The solution of this problem is not dependent upon any one • person or group of persons, but demands the closest co-operation of all who are interested in the education and welfare of our - children. - We seldom stop to consider that a child's time in school has • a money value, but Ioss of time on account of sickness, failure to • 41, 20 - grasp the work because of physical handicaps, subsequent neces- sity of repeating grades, doctor's and nurses' fees, loss of teach- ing time, etc., tax us untold thousands during every generation. To stop this loss means thought, effort, and above all things • co-operation. Yarmouth, like Barnstable, - is exceptionally fortunate in having readily accessible dental services and adenoid and tonsil clinics made possible by the District Nursing Association. It is hoped, however, that the parents will avail themselves ofthis ser- vice raore extensively than theyare now doing. The following detailed report "of my preliminary findings will show that there is ample room for improvement. To be sure, many of these conditions are at present only the weak link in an otherwise strove chain, but are worthy of immediate .attention.- Pupils ttention.- Pupils examined Symptoms of eye strain Abnormal ears - Need of immediate dental care Abnormal noses Abnormal throats Abnormal hearts -.

Committees 114 REPORT OF THE CAPE COD HEALTH BUREAU. -Board of Health, Town of Yarmouth, Yarmouth, Mass. Gentlemen: Any plan which contributes to the better health and physical safety of the people comes under the obligation of the Board of Health. To be sure there are many ailments which are wholly a private matter, unless such incapacity may make the citizen a town charge. `iiany conditions affect us as a group, and from these we must be protected, not only one from another but even from ourselves. There is no way of handling such cases except through a central board which can deal with all of us. firmly, justly and= with expedition. The passive acceptance of adverse conditions is a . thing of the past, and we should now take active steps to protect our people. One frequently hears the question: "What do we get for -our money?" This is only a natural question intended. to deter mine whether or not we are receiving the value of our money. In the town of Yarmouth the resident taxpayer pays a little less than thirteen cents on a thousand dollars valuation for the ser- vices rendered. Is is possible to buy cheaper insurance for the --same quality of service? Less than 6% cents for the protection of your children in school. Less than 61/_ cents for the protec- tion of your milk and other foods, the supervision of your water supply, sewage disposal, nuisances, communicable diseases, for free literature and lectures on health subjects and free consulta- tion service for -any questions connected with health matters. If you buy six stamps and throw away five, that is your personal concern. You have paidfor your goodsand may use as little -as you choose: There is no home without some Health Problem. Have you solved Yours? :The law of our land is broken every minute; murderers, _felons and traitors are constantly escaping recognition and pun- ishment. Why? Because it would take one police officer to every • 115 person if it were necessary to maintain alt law by enforcement. _ That the majority of'people wish to do right for the sake of their -- friends and relatives is what makes our nation the greatest nation in the world,. in spite ofthe many wrongs we see or imagine. If one knows of the transgression of health laws, it is their duty to inform the health officer or their board of health. It is a hun- dred to one shot that the board or its agent knows nothing of the - trouble, and there is not money enough on Cape Cod to buy service that can watch everyone all the • time.• "Public Health Work" has for its objective the prevention • of disease. The common communicable diseases, while of short " duration, take their toll of life and money. The diseases of adult - life that cost all ofus so much in cash, anxiety, lost friends and hopes, are usually planted in childhood, and most of them could be prevented if recognized early. Every life saved or sickness avoided means real money to your town which may be spent in Trade, improvements, or recreations. Why do the large stores and industries spend thousands of dollars to- keep their .employees -- healthy? healthy? It is not their love for mankind, but a strong business investment which has proved itself over and over again. For • every hour lost by sickness, or a trained 'employee lost by death means hundreds of thousands of dollars lost over a period of time. Such work has already increased the average length of life • by fifteen years since 1S70. • If such work is of value -to one group - of people, why should. it not be useful to--nsl • It costs about two- dollars • and a half a year to protect a 2.000 house against fire loss, and_ we, are not disappointed if the - house fails to burn down each year. A Iost house may be re- built; a lost life is irretrievable. Would yon pay seven -cents to • protect a life against disease and 'death? In either case the in- surance is not a guarantee that the house will not take fire. or - the individual die, but von have done all in your power to offset - the catastrophe:. If you take .a quart of .milk a. day;- would: you give one pint 116 to know that the 264 pints were clean and safe for your children t. to drink? - Would you give a loaf of bread to know that your other food products were clean and wholesome? Your child can be absolutely protected against diphtheria. Is it worth a dime to save its life, or at least protect it and your- self against a severe illness with the attendant costs? Is it better business to pay cents for protection, or dollars - for curet. In the last analysis, the summer resident of two months pays over one-half of our protection for twelve months. The following report shows something of the foundation al- ready laid. With this to build upon, and the co-operation of every citizen, there is not a parallel investment among all of our ap- propriations!

General Laws. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Corporations and Taxation Division of Accounts State House, Boston, December 29, 192.E To the Board of Selectmen, - - Mr. Charles R. Bassett, Chairman, Yarmouth, Massachusetts. Gentlemen: I submit herewith my report of an audit of the accounts of the town of Yarmouth for the period from January 1, 1921, to November 14, 1922, made in accordance with the pro- visions of Section 40, Chapter 44, of the General Laws. This re- port is in the form of a report made to me by- Mr. Edward H_ Fenton, Chief Examiner of this Division, who was _placed in charge of the work. Very truly Yours, Theodore N. Waddell, Director of Accounts.. a Mr. Theodore N. 'Waddell, Director of Accounts, Department of Corporations and Taxation, State House, Boston. Sir: As instructed by you, I have made an audit of the ac- counts of the town_ of Yarmouth for the period beginning January 138 -11,1921, and" ending November 14, 1922, and submit the following report thereon: - - The records of the town clerk were examined, and all financial -wotes of the town during the period under examination were listed .and checked to the ledger kept by the selectmen. This ledger was checked, added, and verified, and found to be in balance with the exception of one minor clerical error. It is customary for the selectmen to prove this ledger once in three -months. and undoubtedly they would have eliminated all errors at --the end of the calendar year. " Treasury orders drawn by the selectmen were checked to this. ledeer and found to have been entered therein; the balances on november 14. 1922 -.were figured and drawn off. A number of -accounts were found to be overdrawn, which is .vomtrary to the provisions of Section 31, Chapter 44, General Laws, • which reads as follows: _ No department of any city or town, except Boston, shall ineur.liability in excess of the appropriation made for the use of such department, except in cases of extreme emergency involving the health or safety of persons- or - - - :property, and then only by a vote in a city of two-thirds _of the members of the city council, and in a town by a cote of two-thirds of the selectmen. • In this connection I wish also to call attention to Chapter 253, Acts of 1922, which reads as follows: Chapter forty-four of the General Laws is hereby amended by adding at the end thereof the following new section:—Section 62. Any city, town or district officer - who knowingly violates, or authorizes or directs any • official or employee to violate, any provision of this chap- ter shall be punished by a fine of not more than one hun- • dred dollars; and the mayor, selectmen, prudential com- mittee, or commissioners, shall, . and .five taxpayers may, • i.i i 139 report such violation to the district attorney who shall_ investigate and prosecute the same. Apparently the reason for some of these overdrafts is the practice of making appropriations of smaller amounts than are- required for the expenses of departments, and depending upon the receipts of the departments to make up the necessary amocmts,_ thereby leaving an indefinite sum to be used by the departments:__: Section 53, Chapter 44, General Laws, provides that: All moneys received by any town officer or depart- ment, except as otherwise provided by special acts and-' except fees provided for by statute, shall be paid by suck_ officer or department upon their receipt into the town treasury. Any sums so paid into the town . treasury shall not later be used by such officer or departinent without a - specific appropriation thereof. I would therefore recommend that. in future, 'all appropria- tions be made for the full amount to be expended by each depart— ment, and that the receipts be: estimated by the assessors in fixing- the xingthe tax rate. This method, while a -change from the past, will not cause any increase in the amount to be raised by taxation, and will enable the department officials to plan their work better, as they •wilk. know in advance the amount they will have at their disposal. I would also- recommend a small appropriation for a reserve fund, as provided for by Section 6, Chapter 40, General Laws. While the selectmen keep a better "ledger account of the town& accounts than is found- in most small towns, it is not based on - the most correct principles of municipal accounting and could be -. simplified and improved. The accounts should: be arranged so that they will show, not only receipts and payments of cash and 'the rbalances against• appropriation accounts at the end of the year, but also excess or deficiency of revenue -at all times, and.:whether _the• income raised:. ' P". 140 by the assessors is sufficient to pay all of the expenses of the tOwn. for a given fiscal year. With a re -arrangement of the accounts in accordance with the schedules of the State Department of Corpora- tions and Taxation, this could be accomplished without any extra labor devolving upon the town bookkeeper. The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked in detail. The cash book was footed, and the recorded receipts were checked and verified by a comparison with the records of departments collecting funds for the town or committing' bills for collection. The treasury orders drawn by the selectmen are in the form of bank cheeks. which are countersigned by the town treasurer and paid through the First National Bank of Yarmouth. The treasure's cash book is simply a -record of all orders drawn by the selectmen. These orders are delivered to the treas- urer as soon as drawn and are listed in his cash book without any amount being- placed against the number of the order. They are then sent out to the .parties to whom the town owes the money, and when they are returned by the bank after payment, the amount is entered against the number and name already listed. Therefore. all outstanding orders are simply unpaid checks, and the treasurer's cash account and the bank account can be proved by one operation. This was done, and the cash balance shown on the bank's ledger on November 14. less the amount of unpaid orders. was compared with the balance as shown by the ledger accounts a the selectmen and found to be in agreement. The Cemetery Perpetual Care Trust Funds in the custody of the town treasurer were examined and verified. The .securities were personally examined and listed, and the income was figured and proved. . . The Sears School Trust Fund was examined and the securities listed and verified. The income was figured and found to have been paid over to the town treasurer during the year 1921. The . income for 1922. however, has .not been paid over, but the _trustees _ 141 are engaged in collecting it from the savings banks and as soon as possible will deposit it in the town treasury. The accounts of the tax collector for the years 1920, 1921 and 1922 were examined and checked in detail, the commitments being checked and reconciled with the assessors' warrants. The cash books were footed and the recorded payments to the treasurer were verified by a comparison with the treasurer's cash book. The abatements were checked w;th the records of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts on November 14, 1922, were listed and reconciled. The outstanding accounts were further verified by mailing notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, and from the replies received I am satisfied that the accounts are correct. The surety bonds given by the treasurer and the tax collector for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form. Appended to this report are tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash. summaries of the his and assessment accounts, of the trust funds in the custody. of the town treasurer and the trust fund in the custody of the trustees of the Sears School fund, together with a balance sheet showing the financial condition of the town as of November 14, 1922. While engaged in making the audit, I received the hearty co- operation of the several town officials, and on behalf of my assistants and myself I wish to express my appreciation for the assistance rendered and also for the courteous treatment receive& Respectfully submitted, Edw.

Included in this are reports from the principal, the commercial teacher, fomestic science teacher, super- visor of music, and that of Dr. Sprague relative to the health of the children and.the sanitary condition of the school buildings. Schoolsopened last September with six new teachers. Five of these were in the John Simpkins school. An unfortunate situation prevails in this part of the town which makes it practically impossible -to keep teachers more than one year. The high cost of boardalone is quite sufficient to pro- duce this situation. In addition, it is almostimpossible to find boarding places for our teachers and practically impossible to find. places with modern conveniences• similar to those to which they have been accustomed in their- homes or in the Normal schools. With the opening of a hotel with modern conveniences, it did .seem that the problem of housing the teachers was taken care of. But this no longer offers a solution of the problem. When seeking teachers, how can your superintendent answer the ques- tion as to condition and: cost of. board/ Imagine the look of dis- may which overspreads the faces of the candidates when the situation is explained: The situation has been plaguing us for sometime. Unless there is a change; it. wouldalmost seem as if the town would have to furnish a Teacherage. This has been done inseveral towns in the state.. -Throughout the West this has been done quite ex- tensively and is proving very satisfactory. The work in the various school rooms is progressing very satisfactorily. It 'is fully on par with that of last. year and in some school rooms. is a bit better: We have been fortunate, indeed, for the past two years in having an excellent corps of teachers. If- anything, the corps - this year seems to be somewhat of an .improvement over that. of_ last year. This year, emphasis is being laid' uppn : reading,—partieularly- in the lower grades. More: emphasis upon the. content of the -- printed word and less upon the printed' form. The phonetic- method- has been so extensively advertised and emphasized in the - training schools that .teachers have become blind 'to the content of - the printed word: Being able to read'. or pronounce the printed - word or page amounts to- but little unless there goes along with this acquired ability the power of' interpreting the printed -word' and page. On account of schools, the town of Yarmouth has received' during the fiscal year 1922 from various .sources the following; amounts of money: General School Fund, part 1,. General School Fund; part 2, On account of Supt. of Schools, From Mrs. Agassiz, From Sears Fund, Total, The total expenditure for- schools; Minus the money received from various sources-, The amount of money to be received from the various sources. from the state in 1923 should be as much as for 1922. This, plus the amountto be receivedfrom Mks. Agassiz and the Sears Fund, should make practically $5,300.00. The School Budget this year calls for $23,000.00. This minus - the $5,300.00 would leave $17,700.00 to be raised by taxation for- the current expense. of the schools for the fiscal year 1923. Again, I -wish to. express my appreciation of: your continued! co-operation. $1 660 00 . 1 067 15 782 59: 1.600 00 ' 702 69 $5:812 43- $23 754 86 $17 942 43 Respectfully .yours, ALBERTO W. SMALL_ 1 6 REPORT OF PRINCIPAL OF THE }UGH SCHOOL. "To the Superintendent: I have the honor to submit my second report as principal of -Yarmouth High School. The school year began September 11th with an enrollment. of 64 pupils of whom 27 are boys and 37 girls. There are 17 Fresh- men, 21 Sophomores, 19 Juniors and 7 Seniors. Attendance has been one of our chief problems. The per- centages for September, October and November of this year were 95.1, 93.8, and 92.6 respectively. While it is true that a good •-deal of sickness has lowered our attendance, we do not feel that this cause is by any "'trans entirely responsible. Our .attendance certainly should never get below 97 per cent. No person can ordinarily do well in four days or less, what the average person should do in five. A pupil who is absent one or two days a week, time after time, cannot hope to attain even an average proficiency in his work. This fact has been definitely shown in the past year. Our pupils of highest standing are very seldom absent. The pupils often absent receive low marks and, .in many instances. fail to pass with their class. All parents have the welfare of their children at heart. They should, therefore, bear it in mind that they are doing their children an injustice when for unimportant reasons they permit them to stay out of school. . . .The injustice is - not entirely to the child who is absent but it is to the teacher and the other pupils as well. When a pupil returns to school after an absence he is behind in his work and :probably needs special instruction in new matter already clear to the rest .of the class. If that pupil chances to be a barge pupil he cannot be kept after school for help. The only thing the teach- er can do in most cases is to take time from the rest of the class to help this one pupil. If the pupil was justifiably absent it is unfortunate but if the absence is not justified it is downright imposition on the rights of the other pupils. We are always glad 7 to help those who have been 'absent unavoidably and we strongly- disapprove of absence for unsound or insufficient reasons. Professor T. H. Brig_*s of Columbia University conceives the purposes of the school to be two; first, "To teach pupils to do better the desirable activities that they will perform anyway; and second, "To reveal higher types of activities and ,to make these both desired and to an extent possible." Referring to the first purpose expressed. it seems that Tar -- mouth has done very well for its children. The commercial de- partment will have a report of its own but in this report that work might be referred to briefly. This course .is particularly at— tractive to the girls and is serving its purpose well. Now that Bookkeeping is taught to the two upper classes it is safe to say that a graduate of our commercial department is as well pre- pared for the business world as the graduate of any ordinary school of our size. Quarters are rather cramped but under pres• - ent conditions there is no room for expansion. Yarmouth is far ahead of most towns of its size in its manual training department. Mr. Heymann, through his versatility, can• instruct his pupils not only in woodwork and drawing but also in modelling and metal work. Few realize and take full advan- tage of the wonderful opportunity presented here. The Domestic Science Department is equipped to carry on its work satisfactorily. Unfortunately many of the girls in the - upper classes do not elect this study but it is hoped that it will gain in popularity this year. The school Iunches under Miss Bick- ford's direction are very well handled and are becoming popular - among teachers and pupils. - "To reveal higher types of activities and to make these both desired and to an extent possible." Such studies as . French, Latin, Geometry, Biology, . Physics and Chemistry are taught in pursuance ofthis second purpose of the school. Latin has been brought back into our curriculum . this year and we hope it will remain. While we are adequately able to cope with most or these studies, the Sciences feel the lack of a proper Physical and_ • 'Chemical' Laboratory. Before our school can 'fully carry -out its function itis evident that: some improvements should be made. Facilities for carrying out the first purpose expressed by :Professor Briggs are far superior to those we have with which to .train for "those higher types of activity.” As timegoes on more pupils will desire to continue their education. A college educa- tion at present . is not as uncommon '-as i zt has been in the past. We must not emphasize business, trade and the training for or- dinary walks of life to the detriment of the more strictly academic - training. Yarmouth owes to every pupil who wishes to go to col- =lege the opportunity to become adequately , prepared. In conclusion I wish to. express. my gratitude to you for ,your ,:just criticismsand very. helpful .advice during our. association. .Respectfully submitted, - _HOWARD .E. BEDELL. 9 REPORT OF COMMERCIAL INSTRUCTOR. Mr. A. W. Small, - Superintendent of Schools, _ Yarmouth, Mass. , Dear Sir: Commercial education is growing in importance very rap- idly—indeed in no educational field has the progress and develop- ment been more marked, especially in the last five years. With this in view, I submit the following report of the Commercial -Depart- - ment ommercial-Depart- ment in the Yarmouth High School, which I trust -will be of inter- est to all. As business does not demand anything of the schools, but rather does expect somethin, of them, it is my aim, first, to incul- cate a technical proficiency; second, to teach the ethics of the office or at least to give the students some knowledge of business management and office methods, and also to incite originality and ingenuity. - The subjects- included in the Commercial Course are three years of Typewriting, two years of Shorthand and one year each of Bookkeeping and Introductory Business. It is very gratifying to note the progress made in Typewriting, - which includes -Mimeographing, as ,well as in 'Shorthand. At present the Seniors are taking new matter dictation at the rate of approximately seventy words -per minute and gradually working up a speed of one hundred, which should be attained by the end of the year. They already have acquired a speed of ap- proximately one hundred words on familiar matter—this should he increased to one hundred fifty by the end of the year. Accuracy at all times is given first consideration. The Juniors are taking up the theory of Shorthand. ' For the first year, it is advisable to spend the greater part of the time on the principles, which are essential for more advanced work. The Bookkeeping Class is composed of Seniors and Juniors. These students are doing such splendid work that ,it seems it 10 would be advisable if some means could- be devised by which advanced Bookkeeping could be installedthereby making this a two or three years' course instead of one. In the Introductory Business Class, which is comprised of Freshmen, thecourse consists of Business Forms and Letters, Spelling, Arithmetic, Penmanship, Commercial Law and Commer- cial Geography. This is a brief outline of the work already accomplished andha that to be attained. I can see no reason why a pupil, s faithfully pursued the Commercial Course as given in the Yar- mouth High School, should not be an asset in the business world. Respectfully yours, JANE C. GOOD. REPORT OF THE WORK OF.. THE -DEPARTMENT OF - DOMESTIC SCIENCE: - Mr. A. W. Small, Superintendent of Schools, Dear Sir: I am glad to give the plans for the work in domestic science in the grammar grades and high school. Grammar Sehool.:.. The aims in the sewing of the grammar grades at Yarmouth, South Yarmouth and West Yarmouth are the same. The four grades meet together for their lesson. The fifth and sixth grades begin on the same project—an - apron. This teaches them the uses of the simple hand sewing stitches such as basting, hemming, overhanding, backstitching, sewing on buttons, and making buttonholes. These pupils pro- gress as fast as they can during the year; one fifth grade girl has made two aprons and a dress. If a fifth grade girl is ready for advanced work, she is not kept on .fifth grade projects. Now - these grades are working on plain under -garments. - If a seventh or eighth grade girl selects an article that she - needs to make, I believe she will be more interested in her work - The use of patterns, machine work, and the various stitches can be taught with this garment. These grades make under -garments, ._ waists, blouses, skirts, and dresses. Darning, ,mending, and re- - pairing is taught all four grades. A record is kept of the articles made by each girl. If each grade could meet separately, more could be accom— plished. High.SchooL In the high school there are two domestic science classes: one is for the Freshmen; and the other, for the upper Blass girls. In each class one double period h week is devoted to sewing and one to cooking. In the Freshmen class the general topics are: canning and jelly -making, household duties, and the preparation and serving • of food for meals. The household duties include sweeping, dust-.- a a Barr... u. na.r 12 • ing, washing dishes, care of food, care of firm and stove, laying table, making beds, washing and ironing, care of sink and kitchen. utensils. The class has served a breakfast, and are learning to cook the foods to serve at other meals. In sewing the class is continuing with the work begun in the grades. The advanced sewing class is studying the four fibers from which cloth is made. Tests are made on these fibers to determine their value and their composition, the effect of various substances on them, and the ways to find adulterants. Samples are made of the weaves of cloth. The course includes practical sewing, re- modelling, and millinery. The aim in the advanced cooking class is to study the care of the home as well as the people in it. Tbe arrangement of a house is an important asset for efficient work. Thus, house planning takes into consideration the placing of the furniture or working units, the types of furniture, and the pattern of the kit- chen utensils. Lighting, heating, and ventilating a house is part of the planning. The class has colored charts of rooms to study the use of ;colors. The household budget gives a view of the cost and value of foods. The care of the sick and food for invalids is considered in cooking lessons. The domestie science classes serve the school lunches; the purpose is to give every pupil an opportunity to get something warm and nourishing to eat with their lunch_ Soup, milk, cocoa and creamed dishes have been served. If the cooking class is making something that can be used for the lunch, a larger quantity -is made to meet this need. More time is needed for the domestic science classes. If this could be given; I think the classes would be larger and more in- teresting. I would suggest that cookery and sewing be given in alternate years. The graduates from this coarse have the founda- tion for practical homemakers. Respectfully submitted, GL 4DY S C.

Yarmouth. . Up to this time, the schools as a whole have done exceptionally - good work and it is hoped that by the end of the year that the. work shall have surpassed alt that of previous. years.. In order that everyone may know how music is taught in the grades,—for I understand that some people have the impression - that it is merely singing of songs by rote, let me say, that all their songs are learned by syllables. Every exercise and song is first read by syllables aloud and in time, _then the words are - sung. ' • Dictation drills are frequently given, thus enabling the pupils - to sing any tone that may be required. Occasionally. familiar songs, such as "Old Folks at Home," "Old Blaek -Joe," etc.. are sung.for recreation, as constant drilling becomes tiresome to pupils: It is my desire to make special mention of the work done in •- one of the schools of Yarmouth, that of the grammar -school-. at West Yarmouth. Never before in the time that I have been teach- ing here have I received such a splendid response from the. chil- dren as the pupils in this school have given ire this year. They have not merely learned to sing the songs, but they have acquiredt the ability to sing with expression and their songs when sung possess an artistic finish. One important reason for this remark- . able progress is due to the fact that they take an interest in their - music and seem desirous to learn and to understand good music.' Then too, their co=operation with their regular teacher during the week and their interest they have during the tiine that. I am there help towards making their music a success. In fact. it is nothing more or less than a co-operation of the pupils. the daily teacher and the supervisor whereby good results are obtained But it is necessary that we each do our part. • 14 At this time, I wish to speak of the work done in the pre - ;elation of Music" in the schools. Until this year, the public s music has been confined chiefly to the study of vocal sight reading and to singing of songs and choruses. However, ve of themmereeability to read music does not insure ^o dl music is one of the essential desire to learn and appreciate g -<things here at present. but a little Very little has been done along this line as yet, 'of this work has been started in the lower grades. All the schools- ' are provided with a victrola, and this has been used to teach the children how to listen. In the lower grades we The start pupilsyusing records containing the nursery: rhymes in song. taught to listenvery carefully to the songs and after the record has been played they tell in their own words the story of he piece. By this means. concentration is obtained, and after that has been secured discrimination follows. As we go on in the upper grades records containing more dif- ficult music are used and various points areband seem out and..uite dis- cussed. cussed. The pupils find it very interestingo lighted whenever the records are brought in. In closing, what we can do and must do is to develop and he desire to sing and to teach the children how to sing, its express their feelings through music. Sight reading, with mechanical details, is only a means, though an important one, to the larger end of being able to sing and loving tosing. reciate The desire to hear good music and the ability to app it will be a natural outgrowth of this attitude toward the study . of public school . music. • - Respectfully submitted, ' . DORIS_M. TRICEEY, Supervisor of Music. 15 REPORT OF HEALTH OFFICER AND MEDICAL SCHOOL INSPECTOR. Mr. Alberto W. Small, • Superintendent of Schools, Yarmouth, Mass. My dear Sir: • < While the following report is submitted to the school depart- ment, I cannot help calling to your attention the fact that our chil- dren are so inseparably a part of the adult life of every com- munity that it becomes impossible to clearly state where the responsibility of one department in the town leaves off and another begins. For a like reason it is nearly as difficult to apportion the responsibilities among the towns, for in a county such as ours we intermingle so freely with the neighboring villages for many miles around that the faults or virtues of one are quickly mani- y fested in them all. Communicable diseases travel from the homes to our schools, and from the schools and other gatherings into the whole life of the town. The care and training of the child in the 1 home is directly reflected in its life at school. The example or precept set in the school is a great molding influence throughout the whole future of the individual. While the laws of our Commonwealth demand for our school children medical inspection •and nursing care, there is a long span ' between the letter of the law and the spirit of it. We have not ouly tried to comply with the letter of the law by making one fxamination in the year 1922, but have- given three careful phys- ical examinations to all those present. The defects found at these examinations have been reported to the parez!ts by the State prescribed reporting slip, and then followed by a home visit from the school nurse. This was further supplemented at the spring ,examination by a printed invitation to all parents asking them to i meet, the school physician so that they might talk over their chil- `dren's physical welfare. While many availed themselves of this privilege, it is hoped that many more will see fit to come in.1923, 16 for by so doing they may secure a service bought fora few cents in taxes that would otherwise cost them many dollars. During the past year over 25% of the defects found at the first examina- tion have been corrected. This was -said by the State Department of Health to be the best known record made by any community in the State. It is hoped that during the coming year the remain- ing uncorrected defects may be in a large part reduced. To aid in this work the Bureau has been able to secure a complete field dental equipment, which is now on its way from :Washington. At intervals this equipment with a competent dentist will visit each village making it possible for all school children wishing to avail themselves of this service, to have their mouths put in per- fect condition at Cost. - The interest shown by the people has been most gratifying. and I want to express my appreciation for their continued co-op- 'eration. - In considering the details of this report, please do it in eon - junction with the report of the Board of Health. not only of this town -but the neighboring ones as well. For your convenience I have included the report of the Bureau as a whole, and might cite the following example to show what uncontrolled disease in one locality may mean to us all: In June. 1922. two cases of measles contracted in a neighboring city; appeared in North Truro. The board of health was able to confine the disease to this village until the close of schools, at which- time there appeared contact cases in Truro and ' Provincetown. The infection smoldered throughout the summer, breaking out" -with renewed vigor during the first cool days of autumn, at which time it appeared in Well - fleet and infected practically every non -immune child. All told. there were over 500 cases, costing the parents several thousand dollars, considerable inconvenience, anxiety and discomfort. Sparks. from this conflagration of disease have already blown into Eastham and Brewster, but so far have been well controlled. It is only through the most earnest co-operation on the part of all boards and citizens that a similar catastrophecan_ be averted in 17 this town. Throughout the country measles takes two lives out - of every hundred cases sick with the disease. In what home will measles be allowed to take its toll neat! The following is a minimum report of the activities in our schools during the past year and gives no account of travel office work in connection with records, committee phone consultations, etc. School sanitary inspections, School wells analyzed, School well state condemned, New school wells, New school toilets, . Old toilets improved; School lighting improved, _ - School heating improved, Examined school children suspected of communicable diseases, - Individual examination of children, Found with defects, Defects corrected, Nutritional- clinics, Weighed and measured, Conferences with parents, Schick clinics, Tested, Found susceptible to diphtheria, Found not susceptible, -- — - - In addition to the above work each once a week by either school physician or nurse, or both as the_ occasion demanded.

Reports, gossip and actual complaint are coming to this committee very persistently. It seems that everything that can be the matter • with our schools and the school system is so at present. The unfortunate fact of it all is that much of it is true. Not necessarily all true in any one village, but there. are 'real wrongs in each locality. There is no reason to enumerate the details at this time for much of it is too trivial to bother _with in the face of real difficulties'. The West Yarmouth school house ,is old and decrepit. This year the State Building Inspector demands repairs that will total around $1200 or probably more. Located, as this building is, on - the very edge of the school population, we -must spend another $1200 this year and an increasing amount from time to time to transport the children in this rapidly growing section of the town. The primary room is much over -crowded and additional space mast be secured in the near future. The road is too narrow to move the school building nearer the center of population to save the cost of transportation; the building is not worth the money necessary to flake it and remodel according to the State standards, -so it appears to be economy to build a new school house about a mile to the west of the present site. The South Yarmouth building is in fairly . good condition _and has ample room for expansion when needed. For the safety and comfort of the children it is advisable to equip the building with new stoves,—the old ones having outlived their usefulness. Since the ventilation is very bad in this building, as the frequent "colds" _among the children bear witness, the new type of school stoves -will permit irproving this condition at the same time. On the north side we have only the high school to consider 5-. at present. With the present number and variety of courses de- manded by the State, the portion of the building allotted to the high school -is entirely inadequate to accommodate \ the classes. While the high school population is not increasing and does not bid fair to in the near future, it is only right and proper as long as we carry on the work that we do not handicap the pupils by • . lack of room. This leads in natural sequence to the last major complaint regarding our schools, and that is the teaching staff. It has not been so much a complaint against the teachers themselves or their - ability to teach, but the ever recurring question is whether or not our, pupils are fitted to go to college without additional schooling elsewhere. - There is only one answer to this question. The material 'is there. If your boy or mine fails to succeed in his- studies it is either that he is unable to grasp the. work or the teacher is unable to teach it in such a way that he can grsap it. You- cannot hire a man for boy's pay, neither can your committee hire old and experienced teachers for the salary paid to boys and girls out of - college. There are some things in this world in Which years of maturity and the experience acquired by living count more than the letters after our name when we leave college: Knowledge of boy and girl nature is one of the greatest factors in preparing them for college or the wof ld. A great many places stand ready to • snap up these experienced teachers at a much larger salary than we can pay with our present budget. Until .such time as the.. voters are willing to appropriate money enough to hire skilled teachers they cannot expect the results they are looking for. .Another angle to this phase of the problem is `the high .board. This is a natural outcome of the summer influence.- But the fact of the matter is that our winter school teachers are not interested in what we do to the summer folks, and if we will charge high board we must pay high wages for they do not have to come to Cape Cod even if we think there is no place like it. Eight to twelve dollars a week will buy a comfortable room and suitable-. •'8 `board" in most large towns and small cities with an of the -modern improvements and the more active life in the centers. , -The schools of any town are a -direct -reflection of the people in it. -.The children in schobl ; today are the citizens tomorrow. What will our schools make -of then t 'Now is the opportunity for those who have criticized to come' forward and give to an in-' terested and active committee the money necessary to _put the _ .Yarmouth .schools where they belong: :Respectfully submitted, - RUSSELL B. SPRAGUE, M. D., :Secretary, Yarmouth School .-Committee • • 7 REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT. OF SCHOOLS - To the School Committee of Yarmouth, Gentlemen: - I am hereby Sling with you a brief resume of some bf the phases of the school work and some of the problems entering into the functioning of this work. I would call your attention to .the reports appended, and other school data. With the exception of one teacher the high school opened in September with an entirely new corps of teachers. When Mr. Bedell, who had been with us for two years, and his able assistants resigned, we lost a splendid lot of teachers. . Every teacher who left us last year went to a much larger place and at an increase in salary from two hundred to four hundred dollars. The grade teachers at South Yarmouth are the only ones in our service last year. In the lower grades the Stone Millis arithmeties and the Horn -Ashbaugh spellers have superseded the Duren arithmetics and the Merril spellers. Beginning with September these books will, without doubt, be introduced into all the grades .. Many of our books now in use are in a rather filthy and worn- out condition. To keep in line with the sanitation and health work in our community our text books should receive ereater at- { tention and as soon as they become dirty or ragged should be re- placed with new ones. This will mean a considerable outlay in our yearly expendituft. Our drinking system is nearly comparable to that in use in the little old red school house when the one wooden water pail.. and tin dipper was in universal use for all the pupils in the school. Water brought from a nearby pump in a dirty tin or even enamel pail and poured into a dirty stone jar is to my mind, not much improvement upon the water -soaked wooden water pail and tin dipper. I IS 8 There ought to be in every school building some suitable and convenient arrangement where boys and girls might wash their hands before eating their dinners and oftener if teachers find it necessary. To my mind this is a necessity. There exists in the office of administration an excellent esprit de corps and the functioning of this office is increasingly progres- sive. . Respectfully submitted, ALBERTO W. SMALL. 0 110. 0I 9. REPORT OF PRINCIPAL OF THE HIGH SCHOOL • Yarmouth, Mass., Jan.. 4, 1924. Mr. A. W. Small, Supt. of Schools, _ Dear Sir: I have the honor to submit my first annual report as principal`. of Yarmouth High School ' - The school year began September 4, 1923, with an enrollment of 62 pupils, of whom 24 were boys and 38 were girls The enrollment is divided as follows: 16 Seniors, 14 Juniors, 15 Sophomores and 17 Freshmen. The percentages of attendance for September, October, No- vember and December of this school year were 93.03%, 92.22%, 92.21%, and 91.44% respectively. The several departments of the school have maintained the •high standards that have been set in previous years, and much effort is being put forth to .increase the efficiency, practibility, and adaptability of the courses offered by these departments. Respectfully submitted, LOU S E. TIBBETTS . • .10 REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN Mr. Alberto W. Small, • Superintendent of Schools, Town of Yarmouth, Mass. My dear Sir: We have every reason to feel deeply grateful for the almost entire freedom from communicable diseases in the Town of Yar- mouth during 1923. Although cases existed in neighboring villages there was only one instance, to my knowledge, where a contact case occurred in our town. The nursing program in the schools was considerably dis- turbed by unavoidable changes in the nursing personnel of both the Health Bureau and the District Nursing Association. During November and December the work was again under way and many children were taken to the dental and eye clinics. The physician's inspection finds that there. are still several cases where an operation on the adenoids and tonsils would be of great value to the child, and still others who are in need of nu- tritional instruction and care. There should be no need for this last condition as food is plentiful in Yarmouth and with all of the good cooks that we can boast of, the only thing necessary .is to see that the proper things are eaten in the right amounts to build growing bodies and repair the excessive waste coming through the tremendous activities of childhood. - That portion of my report • which would naturally eome at this time and has to do with• the sanitation, lighting, heating and care of the buildings, is embodied in the report of the school com- mittee in its recommendations, and is better read as it appears there, for they are practically in accord with my: own observations. The needs are very apparent to those familiar with the situation and it is only a questionas to whether the 'Town of Yarmouth wishes to go ahead or backward. Respectfully submitted, RUSSELL B.
