S. CROWELL, Town Treasurer e YARMOUTH PLANNING BOARD, ANNUAL REPORT, 1927 In accordance with the Massachusetts General Laws, the Yar- mouth Planning Board submits its second annual etown of port. At the annual town meeting, held in February, 1926, aa planning board Yar- mouth voted for legislation which provided of five members, one member of which should be electedown annually. Under the Massachusetts General overs, every 10,000 is required to in our Commonwealth with app irofo have a planning board, while every town with a population resent less than 10,000 may have a planning board. At the p nine towns in the state have planning boards, includ- time, ninety Barnstable, and Yarmouth. It should ing .Falmouth, Bourne, be carefully borne in mind that these boards can act only in an advisory capacity. Their .recommendations have no authority . whatever unless accepted -legally by the voters. Our Board believes that one of the mostl beautiful teir appropriate of Yarmouth is the tree -lined streets, set back from thet setting and the characteristic Cape Cod se ,at all costs. main street.. This beauty should be preserved recommend that not As regards trees on our highways, new trees should be planted, but that where it is needed, only in as is the case with some of the elm treesshou da receive suitable able the silver poplars in South Yarmouth, they runic by suitable attention, including spraying, and any needed pruning erts. This should be done through co-operation with the state author- ities, where they have guardianship of the trees along the state and by . appropriations at town meeting for planting andof ay, trees along some of our town roads. and care - used more every year by Our highways and roads are bBoard is 'of the opinion that eing instead of cutting down many thousands of automobilists. �'f our trees, moving houses, and doing away with all curves, in. order to make a straight ing some or boulevard for these tourists, and by so doing, of the characteristic charm of our village streets, it would be 35 well not to sacrifice beauty in order to make a "bee -line" road. Modern progress, too, points to the building more and more, in the near future, of main arteries or highways, which will skirt the town or village, tapping them at strategic points, as has been done with Hyannis and Wareham and other near -by busy cen- ters of trade. If, as is likely, there will be built in the future a state highway running in part through the center of the Cape, this will greatly lessen the congestion and dangerous traffic on our village streets. More and more interest is being taken in the historic sites on the Cape, and people come from all parts of our country to see the Cape towns, including Yarmouth, made famous" by the Pilgrims, the early settlers, and our ancestors. Not only should our old houses, but also the old names of our streets and lanes, be preserved. In some cases it might be well to restore the old names of certain streets. Would not the old name of Hawes Lane be more suitable for the beautiful lane which runs from the main highway near the Yarmouth Tavern to Dennis Pond than the name Summer Street? The old lane leading from the high- way to the Yarmouthport wharf was for years called Wharf Lane. Is not this good old name a better one than the present substitute, 'Wharf Street 1 Our Board believes that steps should be taken by our town to provide suitable playgrounds for our school children, both on the North and South Sides. Our children, who will be our future citizens, should have everything that our town can properly pro- vide, in order that they may have healthy bodies and healthy minds. Playgrounds, where both the boys and girls can have suitable healthy sports and exercise, are needed in every well- to-do community, not only in the cities but in the country towns. The best authorities all agree on this. These public school playgrounds are comparatively modern. Twenty-five years ago the Boston School Committee established five playgrounds; today there are ninety-five. Falmouth, Bourne, 36 Brewster, and Chatham have school playgrounds, and the town of Barnstable has one in Hyannis and one in Cotuit. Recommendations Our Board recommends: (1) The acquisition of land near the High School in Yar- mouth for a playground for the public school children, and also land on the South Side of Yarmouth for a similar purpose, if such acquisition can be arranged by gift or purchase at a reasonable price. (2) That the danger to traffic be lessened by the removal of danger spots at these places: (a) Junction Main and River Streets, South Yarmouth. During heavy traffic, constant danger hangs over these bad cor- ners, at the junction of two of our most important streets. These corners should be removed, (b) Junction South Sea Avenue and Main Street, West Yarmouth. (c) Junction Berry Avenue and Main Street, West Yar- mouth. ' (3) As regards the care of trees on our highways, that as large a town appropriation as possible be made for spraying, as well as any needgd pruning and planting. This should be done through co-operation with the state authorities where they may have guardianship of trees along the state highways. (4) The purchase of land for a town forest, with the co-oper- ation of the Massachusetts Forestry Association and the State Department of Conservation, provided it can be had at a reason- able price. (5) An appropriation of $300 for brushing out of forest fire prevention roads, provided the Massachusetts Forestry Associa- tion will give a like sum. (6) The following in regard to town parks. (a) That the town park property at the Town Dock, Yarmouth, receive some suitable improvement by the planting of trees. 37- (b) The town park at the junction of South Yarmouth Road and Main Street, on the site of the Old Church in Yarmouth,. needs attention and improvement. (c) The town parks on the South Side, between Parker's_ River and Bass River, are being used by increasing numbers of campers, who are not our. citizens. We would respectfully sub- mit to the Park Commissioners: (A) The advisability and need of formulating rules for the government of the town public parks, which rules should Le painted and posted in conspicuous places. (B) That a caretaker should be on duty daily during. the summer season in order that all may have equal -benefit of the town property. (C) That in order tc lessen the fire risk, some of our town parks on the South Side should be brushed out.. • (7) While our town has already depositories for rubbish: and articles for the dump heap, these dumping places and the roads leading to them are very untidy and unsightly. If our Board is well informed, no provision has been made for garbage.. We recommend the acquisition of a suitable tract of land for the, whole town, for the disposal of rubbish and garbage, where s:. man can be kept during a part of the year, to bury or burn refuse as needed.

I have the honor to submit a very brief and general'. report of the work of the County Health Department of Barnstable County for the year 1927. The usual work has consisted as here- fore of medical and sanitary inspections in connection with com- municable diseases, correction of nuisances, and general improve- ment of conditions; inspection and physical examination of school children, etc. The condition of all pupils improves from year to year especially as regards correction of defects and cleanliness. The testing of cattle for tuberculosis has progressed very favor- able and thegreat majority in the County are now tested. The work as has been stated before may be divided under the follow- ing heads: (1) medical work in connection with communicable and other disease, (2) medical inspection of schools, (3) sanitary inspections including inspections of food places, the disposal of sewage and garbage and work is connection with milk and shell- fish. Of course there are numberless sub -divisions and details as in any health organization. Barnstable County has been fairly well off as regards the quesiton of communicable disease. There has been some scarlet fever, all of a mild type; a little diphtheria, and a certain number of minor diseases. Only two cases of infantile paralysis devel- oped, one extremely mild and one of a more severe type. The infection in the serious case was contracted outside of the Coun- ty. This absence of infantile paralysis was extremely fortunate, as otherwise business during the summer would have been seri- ously interfered with. • As usual the sanitary condition at the County Fair attracted favorable attention. The Health Officer again attended the New England Health Institute and gave a talk on rural health work. This meeting was held in Providence, R. I., this year, and was attended by health officials from all of the New England States and many others. -< ......: yam.-- 40 A meeting marking the installation of the County Health Department was held in January and was remarkably well at- tended. The speakers were Dr. George H. Bigelow, - Commission- er of Public Health, representing the Governor, Assistant Surgeon General W. F. Draper, U. S. Public Health Service, Surgeon L. L. Lumsden, U. S. Public Health Service, Mr. John D. W. Bodfish, County Commissioner, Dr. R. P. MacKnight, and Mr. C. R. Bassett. Students from the Harvard School of Public Health have visited the District during the year, as have also representatives of various health organizations such as the International Health Board, American Public Health Association, etc. The regular spring and fall meetings of the Cape Cod Health Bureau Association were held with excellent attendance in every ease. The officers of this association are Mr. G. W. Hallett, Mr. E. T. Chase, and Mr. C. R. Bassett. It should be noted that the County Health Officer is now empowered to authorize the issuance of shipping permits for shell- fish, and it is believed this arrangement is satisfactory and un- doubtedly it is of great benefit tothe fishermen of Cape Cod. The work during the year has, it is believed, proceeded in a satisfactory manner, and the .unfailing co-operation of all. officials and citizens .of the various towns and the County is hereby grate- fully acknowledged the Health Officer. The . work of all in- dividuals connected with the organization has been entirely satis- factory. Respectfully, A. P. GOFF, M. D., County Health Officer.

The only court case necessary this year was caused by the taking .of oysters by out-of-town persons from the Yarniouth side of waters near the Railroad bride in Bass River. In this case, conviction was lost, owing to the fact that when money was appropriated by the town to buoy the boundary between Yarmouth and Dennis, this particular section was not buoyed, and,the court gave the defendants the benefit of the fact that Yarmouth had not defined her boundary. As clams are being - taken from this vicinity for commercial purposes, we therefore recommend that your committee be instructed at the annual town meeting to define the boundary in this location. In September, two of your committee were unlawfully dis- turbed from doing their official dufies. The fishing industry, be- hhg the largest industry of the town, should be coped with in an efficient manner, and in order for this to be possible, the full co- operation of the Board of Selectmen is necessary. We wish to bring to your attention at this time an article appearing in the town warrant in which you will be given the opportunity of defining the duties of your fish committee. The fishery regulations are vested by statute in the Board of Select- men, but the enforcing of these regulations are a matter for the voters to instruct their fish committee. Concerning the .general situation of the industry: The quahaug fishing has been an average of other years: The scallop fishing has been fair. The larger bed at Parkers River • -76 -was small, arid consequently the market price: for these -golds' has :been low. This branch of the industry has not been quite .up to :the standard. A bad condition is existing .in • the vicinity of EGray's Beach, on the north side of the . town,whereby = people ‹enjoying the town's privileges at this point. -are abusing these privileges by taking away with them a quantity: of • clams, which should be reserved for the town's citizens. Your committee recommends that a section Of the flats on the north side of •the -town should be closed over the week -ends, -namely. from ..Friday ,_ :to Monday inclusive. • • Thanking you for the expressions of confidence which has .:been placed in us as a committee, and feeling that we. have . done ..our duty conscientiously, we respectfully submit this report.

In the high school Mr. Artfiur E. Jenner, Miss Irene Hurley and Miss Inger F. Olsen succeed Miss Elizabeth Kelley, Miss Alice. M. Brown and Mrs. Agnes -H. Cash. During the Christmas vacation Mrs. Mabel G. Southwick re- signed as teacher of the grammar grades at the John Simpkins School. • On the whole, the work .in the grades has been . maintained at a standard compatible with that .which is possible in. rooms of four grades. • In addition to the regi lar work of former years, there has Nen added to the teachers' burden .the additional work in music, drawing, physical education and health instruction. These lat- ter subjects take a considerable amount of the teachers' time in planning, execution and supervision. This time and work added • to an already overloaded program gives just cause for complaint on the part of the teacher. With this knowledge of the present day 'requirements,. teachers are very reluctant to accept positions -- in our schools. The work in the high school is handicapped by lack of room.. Four years of science, such as General Science, Biology, Physics and Chemistry, is attempted without any laboratory• facilities whatever. I should like to call to your attention what the towns of Brewster, Harwich, Chatham, Barnstable, Sandwich and Bourne, on the Cape,. have done during the last few years in improving their school -house conditions. Yarmouth is one of the very few .towns on the Cape which has made no attempt whatever to meet the present day requirements in improved school buildings and 5 playgrounds. It is not because the town cannot afford to do -this. Why is it? • If Latin' is to be offered in our high school there must be another teacher added to the present corps of teachers. This seems to be the opinion of Mr. Frank P. Morse, State Supervisor of- Secondary Education. Mr. Carl L. Schrader, State Supervisor of Physical Education, visited all the schools this past fall and recommended that the scope of work in physical education be broadened and that a be- ginning be made in equipping our schools with apparatus for this work. Dir. Schrader also recommended, since the upper room of the Practical arts Building is not being used for manual work, that it be cleared for use for physical education. This has been done and is meeting a rather complexed situation. I -would Ball your attention to my reports of the last two years,—last year in particular. The school committee of Yarmouth has formed a union with the school committees of Brewster and Dennis for full time super- vision in music and in drawing. A supervisor of physical educa- tion is needed to carry out the provisions of the State Law rela- tive to this work. Permit me to call your attention to the reports of the prin- cipal of the high school and of the supervisors of music and of drawing, which I am including in my report. I would express to yon,. Mr. Chairman and members of the committee, my y appreciation for your courtesy and kindly co-op- eration. Respectfully snibmitted, - ALBERTO W. SMALT, J IIIILII,i I I 6 REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE HIGH SCHOOL Yarmouth, Massachusetts. December 23, 1927. Mr. A. W. Small, Superintendent of Schools - Yarmouth, Massachusetts : Dear Sir: - For the benefit of the citizens of Yarmouth, I submit the following report of the activities and needs of Yarmouth High School. Shortly after the opening of school in January, 1927, our English teacher, Mrs. Alice. Blanchard Baker, resigned; and her place was filled by Miss Elizabeth Kelley. A change coming at such a time necessarily impaired the progress of the school work for a while. However, the work of the school continued with practically the same routine as outlined in niy report for the first four months of the 1926-27 school year, and I believe, that the work for the year was satisfactorily completed by all the teachers in June 1927. School opened in September 1927 with three new teachers, Mr. Arthur Jenner, Miss Irene Hurley, and Miss Inger Olsen. I cannot speak too highly of their spirit of co-operation in all school undertakings; and I feel sure that their interest and enthusiasm has created an exceptionally fine school spirit among the pupils. The teachers are all keenly interested in physical education and have worked out a program whereby each pupil takes an active part in physical exercise. The use of the upper floor of the sloyd — --.building as a gymnasium has been a great help in this connection. We now have four basket -ball teams, two boys' and two girls', in school. Both the boys' and girls' first teams have joined the Cape Cod Athletic League and already have a full schedule for the winter. _ The total enrollment for the present school year is forty- three pupils, a few less than was enrolled last year. I am glad to report that the attendance for the past four months has been • I III J1101 7 - considerably better than for the same period last year. The at- tendance for the fall term has been about 96 per cent perfect. Most of our absences have been caused by illness, but there are still a few pupils who persist in being periodically absent for trivial reasons. Parents should discourage such absences and realize that it is for the good of every child to be in school every day. A few slight changes were made in the courses of study offered this year. A course in economics has been added and is required of the juniors. This course provides an opportunity for the study of the fundamental economic laws, working 'conditions, financial return, opportunity for advancement, and a study -of the occupations themselves. This is in keeping with suggestions made after the recent survey of education in twelve Cape towns.. Also, in keeping with the suggestions of this survey, it seemed advisable to drop Latin from the high school subjects. The needs of the school are practically the same as those suggested in my report last year. In reviewing that report I find that very few of the suggestions made there have been carried out. Electric lights should be installed at the earliest possible date. Only this year one parent made the request that his child be seated nearer the window in order that the child's eyesight might not be impaired. If the parents of 40 children should make the same request, as they have a rightto do, I fear that it could not be complied with so easily as was this one case. • It seems to me that the only alternative is that the building be properly lighted. Our drinking water still stands in a bottle all day and in- the hot sun the greater part of the day. It seems to me that it is not asking too much of the parents to furnish heir boys and girls a chance to quench their thirst, after a vigorous game, with a good cool drink of fresh water; or that they have a chance to wash the dirt and perspiration from their faces and hands after their play. Many of the windows in the building need attention. Several • 8 of the windows are loose in the casings and the glass is loose in. the frames. Double windows on the west side of the building especially, would result in the saving of coal and add much. to the comfort of the pupils and teachers. The roof of the building needs immediate attention. Several books were destroyed during the summer because of the rain leaking in on them. We are still in need of a laboratory room for our science work. It is next to useless to • purchase scientific equipment and supplies unless there is a proper placefor storing and using them. Delicate physical and chemical apparatus is very soon destroyed when subjected to extreme changes in temperature and weather conditions. Much work has been done on the play ground and many trees have been removed; but there is t en now insufficient cleared space on which the entire school may play. Our library is still too meagre to efficiently meet the needs of the schooL The following is taken from a bulletin prepared by the State Department of Education for the improvement of high school libraries: "A good library is an essential feature of every well equipped high school ..... The newer methods of teaching .... make the school library a vital part of school work Regular additions to the library should be made. The annual expenditure for books and magazines . should be at least twenty-five cents per pupil." Mr. Morse, Supervisor of Sec- ondary Education; has criticized our library because it is not of a nature to be of use to the entire school the whole time; that some of our books are exceptionally good, but they are of very_ little- value to the average high school pupil. There is no ques- tion but what a wise selection of current magazines and period- icals would be the most economical and serviceable type of liter- ature to purchase for a high school library. Along with this a few good reference works for the different departments would be sufficient for the' school. My invitation of last year to the parents and citizens to visit the school did not meet with a very general acceptance. May T 9 at this time repeat this invitation and again urge the parents to visit the school, meet the teachers, and see their children at work. Very truly yours, J. ARTHUR GREEN.- Ilwaso 10 REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC -Mr. Alberto W. Small, Superintendent of Schools Yarmouth, Mass. Dear Mr. Small: Following is the report of the work in music from Septem- ber 1927 up to the present time. The two most universal elements of music are rhythm and melody. This is obtained in- the primary grades through rote singing. Individual singing is most important and very helpful to the primary child. Monotone drill -is essential and in time with constant drill this voice is eliminated. The intermediate grades are doing excellent note reading from their books and with special drill in tone, time and theory seem to be most inter- ested. Grammar schools have had advanced theory, expression terms, and part singing. We have had a small contest between the three schools and I find'this builds up their enthusiasm. New material in High School has helped sustain their interest and they have responded with a willing spirit. • My hearty thanks are extended to the teachers for their in- terest and co-operation. Respeetfully, RUTH G. SHEPARD. 11 REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING- Mr. RAWING Mr. Alberto Small, Superintendent of Schools Yarmouth, Mass. Dear Sir: Following is the report of work done since September up to- the present time. The first essential in all art education is that the pupils shall enjoy the drawing period, and there is every indication that. this condition exists in the schools of. Yarmouth. At least I have given them the required amount of work in as interesting a method as possible. _ In the fall the pupils in the third and fourth grades were given very simple flowers and weeds to copy, while those in the first and second grades were taught the proper methods of using crayons and pencils and placing of materials on desks. The latter is one of the most important factors in the drawing lesson, as a child cannot begin too young to practice uniformity of correct disposal of articles. The pupils in the grammar room also have taken up the drawing of flowers. A great many have been done in water color, and a few in crayon. Very simple color charts have been made, - consisting of six colors, three values and compliments. We are using. the preferred Ross system. Part of the time has been spent on making pictures depicting the life.and customs of the Indian race. We also have had the sketching of action figures which we took from real life, as members of the class came "up front" and posed. Among other things we have made pictures for Columbus Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, and our work in measure- ments has developed an accuracy of which I am proud. The primary rooms have had quite a bit of cutting and fold- ing, and by keeping in touch with drawing supervision in differ- ent towns I find our work compares favorably with theirs. The High School free hand drawing class is at present hav- ing printing, after having completed series of still life pictures._ 12. -I am looking forward .to starting them on charcoal and pastel -work. The mechanical drawing class is at . present working on geo- metrical problems. The first and second year pupils are taking :the same work, some of which is review for the second year pupils. I would like very much to have separate classes and I hope to do so soon after the new year. • In conclusion, I wish to thank yon, members of the School Board, principals and teachers and all who have co-operated in :the work of the year. - Respectfully submitted, E1111A F.

Under the Massachusetts General Laws every town with a population of over 10,000 must have a planning board, while a town with a population of less than 10,000 may have a planning board. Every year there is a steady increase in the number of •Massachusetts towns with planning boards, the present total in the State being 107. The Cape Cod towns having planning boards are Barnstable, Bourne, Dennis, Falmouth, and Yarmouth. The report which our Board is required to make by the State Law is brief. Our recommendations are: 1. School Problems. A committee appointed at the, annual town meeting of 1928 have made a careful study of our school conditions, and their report should receive the careful considera- tion of every voter, as the question as to what is best to be done to improve our school conditions is the most important question to be considered at the coming town meeting. 2. The triangular piece of land at the intersection of North Main Street and Station Avenue, South Yarmouth, should be acquired by the Town for highway purposes. 3. Town Forest. If a suitable area of land can be acquired for a Town Forest, our Board recommends this purchase; it does not favor the purchase, however, unless the price is reasonable (for in addition to the original purchase price, there must be some expense for trees, planting, and care). It is very important, too, that the proposed taking be not only accessible to a good road, but that the site be attractive, with a good view if possible. If our citizens are to enjoy a Town Forest, it should be located with attractive surroundings, and if on some high hill, with a good view, so much better. Some of our Massachusetts towns have acquired Town Forests, through the gift of citizens. Our Board does not recommend a purchase unless the conditions are satisfactory. 38 4,. Trees and Parks. Yarmouth is fortunate in having many beautiful trees along many of its highways, and at the same tiine possessing a few Town Parks, both on the North and South Side. These all should be well eared for. While the Massachusetts Department of Public Works has jurisdiction over all trees along the State Highway, steps should be taken through co-operation with the State to spray, prune, and care for those trees, as well as to plant new trees where needed. This same recommendation applies to the trees along our Town roads. Our Town authorities are to be commended for the extensive and excellent work done the _past year on our roads, and particularly in brushing out the forest fire prevention roads. This needed work should be continued yearly, even if outside funds are no longer available. Our Town Parks should be well cared for and protected by supervision in the summer season. Our Town authorities very wisely improved this summer the Town Park at the junction of South Yarmouth Road and Main Street (formerly the site of the Old Church in ;Yarmouth). Respectfully submitted, CHARLES O. BLACKWELL, THOMAS S. CROWELL, D. FRANK SEARS, GEORGE IL CHASE, Secretary, THOMAS C. THACHER, Chairman, Yarmouth Planning Board. rf 39 REPORT OF THE TOWN CLERK 23 marriage certificates; 18 certified copies of births, • 2 certified copies of marriage, 8 certified copies of deaths, 14 garage registrations, 18 gasoline .registrations, 1 gunpowder registration, 30 milk license fees, 2 oleomargarine fees, 2 voting lists sold, Recording mortgages, Recording 1 auctioneer's license, Recording'5 junk licenses, Issued 118 mak dog licenses, Issued 33 female dog licenses, 151 dog license fees, Paid County Treasurer dog tax, Issued 189 hunter's Licenses; Issued 4 hunter's licenses, Issued 17 trapper's.licenses, Issued�4 minor trapper's licenses, Issued 3 lobster licenses, Issued 3 duplicate licenses, 3 license fees on the above @ 15c., 214 license fees on the above @ 25e., $236 00 165 00 $401 00 30 20 $370 80 $370 80 425 25 21 00 38 25 3 00 3 00. 1 50 $23 00 4 50 50 2 00 7 00 900. 50 15 00 1 00 1 50 7 75 25 1 25 30 20 45 53 50 $157 40 Dec. 31, 1928.

I am incorporating these reports in mine as covering these various phases of school work for the past year. _ Again, I must call your attention to the fact that the work of the High School is handicapped by a lack of a sufficient number of. rooms suitably equipped. Another teacher is needed in the High School, but there is absolutely nowhere to put an additional teacher. With seven in the graduating class and twenty-five in the eighth grade, there should be an enrollment in the Iiigh School next year, between sixty and sixty-five pupils. With an enrollment in the sixth and seventh grades of twenty-four pupils, there seems a possibility for the following few years, for an enrollment be- tween sixty-five and -seventy pupils. With the present housing situation, it will be impossible to expand the work in order to in- terest a considerable portion of the pupils in an extended academic course or extra curricula work. Furthermore, with the absolute lack of playground and ath- letic fields, such as nearly all modern schools now have, it is im- possible to develop a growing, vital interest in play in the live and growing boys and girls. - The course in modern European History has been changed to a course in World History which gives the boys and girls a birds -eye view of the historical events of the entire world. A course in the Problems of D,—K.-racy has been added. This last gives the pupils some know :,2ge of these problems that so vitally affect the social and economic situation in a democratic form of government. In addition we are giving a year's work in United States . II AI XWM.MEML& Ili .111 .1 1.tI1j111 II 1 5 History and Government and a course in Economics. These sub- jects especially equip the boys and girls for a larger interest and share in the citizenship of the community. It also better equips them for life. jf The work as now laid out in the High School gives any boy or girl, with the necessary ambition, an opportunity to fit for it college, for Normal School, and. also for a position in business, and in addition, a course that fits them somewhat, for life. It would seem that this last course is the most important if we ex- pect to develop moral and law-abiding citizens. If this is so, then our facilities should be so improved and increased that a greater emphasis may be laid upon the work along this line. • In the seventh and eighth grades, United States History and Government is emphasized. To this is added a brief course in elementary economics. Li the earlier grades, the children are 'in- troduced to the history of our country through biography and historical events; even going back to that part of our historical life which emerges from the early history of Europe. There is a four years' course in formal geography with informal geography in the earlier years. An eight year course in the handling of numbers and the acquiring of a knowledge and use of our own language. Reading, music, drawing, health, safety, and the de- veloping of play instinct is being taught. The seating capacity in both rooms at West Yarmouth is strained by the present enrollment.. A slight increase in the school population in this part of the town will demand.:the opening of another room. If there is a large incoming class this may be necessary next fall. With an enrollment of forty-four pupils in the primary room at South Yarmouth, it became necessary to open another room. This was done at the beginning of this term. The school popula- tion in West and South Yarmouth seems to be slowly but steadily increasing. - - Opportunity should be given for ambitious boys and girls to 6 prepare for higher institutions of learning, but a larger oppor- tunity, for the great majority of our boys and girls who will go no farther than our schools, should be given for developing a greater usefulness in citizenship and for a greater interest in high- er ideals for Life. • Respectfully submitted, ALBERTO W. SMALL 7 REPORT OF PRINCIPAL OF HIGH SCHOOL .Mr. A: W. Small Superintendent of Schools Yarmouth,. Massachusetts - Dear Sir: I herewith submit my report concerning Yarmouth High. School for the fall of 1928. The school opened September 4, with au enrollment of forty. - seven pupils which includes seven Seniors, fourteen Juniors, eleven Sophomores, and fifteen Freshmen. Since that date several pupils have entered and several have left school or transferred to other - schools, making an enrollment. at the present date the same as on the opening date. • There have been two changes since last year in the teaching force; the teachers being now as follows: 0. L. Garland, Prin- cipal, Mathematics and science; A. E. Jenner, Languages; Miss Irene Hurley, Domestic Science; Miss Inger Olsen, Commercial Subjects; Miss Nellie Kruger, Music; Miss Emma Thompson, Draw- ing. The percentage of attendance for the first four months has- been 92:22. A written excuse is required for all absences. Two new courses have been added this year. World History is one of these, which takes up the history of the world from ancient times until the present day. The other course' is Problems - of Democracy, which should give a good training for citizenship. I wish to state that I believe the teachers are all working - hard for the good of the school and that a good spirit prevails between pupils and teachers. I regret to state however, that the - attitude toward study. on the part of :post of the pupils, is not what it should be. IInlirove-;.eI,t in thi reTe,:i_ is greatly essen- tial. The first of the school's social activities was a play given by the Senior class assisted by the members of other classes, .which. was repeated in South Yarmouth. A program previous to Thanks-- 8 .giving was given by the pupils which was much enjoyed as was a similar program at Christmas, when presents, somewhat in the form of joke, were given to all teachers and pupils. There is considerable interest in basketball and prospects for a good teain this year are very bright._ Among the boys there is considerable •good material and Mr. Jenner, as coach, wishes that as many of the boys as possible may participate. In order to bring this about he expects to have a first, a second, and a midget team. It is reported that the team shows every indication of playing as a team this year and certainly this ability for team work ought to be a valuable asset to its members in later. life. The school team is to be a member of a league of six high school teams of the nearby towns and a schedule of ten games has been arranged. The girls will also support a team and play games with ether high school girls', teams following the boys' games on some evenings. The small gymnasium at the school is of great benefit be- cause it enables the pupils to get needed exercise at recess and noon outside the school building. The following arrangements have been made to take care of the noon hour at the school house. One of the high school teach- ers is on duty throughout the year in the high school rooms. The janitor takes 'charge out of doors and in the gymnasium. The two grade teachers take turns in one of the grade rooms through- out the -winter months so that the younger pupils may have a .warm place in which to eat their lunch. The principal recommends the installation .of electric lights throughout the building since it is almost impossible to • read from books and particularly from blackboards on dark days. The addition of double windows would greatly aid in heating -the building on cold, windy days and would result in -an economy of fuel Also plumbing facilities are greatly needed from the view -points of comfort, sanitation, and health. 9 More equipment in laboratory apparatus would be appreci- ated also. I wish, in closing, to express my appreciation for the co -opera -- tion given by superintendent, teachers, parents, and pupils and to - extend an invitation to the parents to visit the school.

Dear Sir I herewith submit my report as Supervisor of Music schools of Yarmouth. Children of the first two grades are introduced to music by means of rote singing. Special attention is given to "monotones" and to less musical children by "calling games." Books are first used by pupils of the third grade when note reading is begun. Tone and time drills are then begun and continued in the fourth grade with the principal aim of aiding the pupils in sight-reading. Intensive work on theory is done in the so-called grammar grades, and almost entirely is two-part music used. With the new books, work•in these grades should become more interesting.. It is hoped that, with the use of victrolas •and proper records, Diusic Appreciation may be introduced in the schools, thus pre- paring our boys and girls for enjoyment of the best and beautiful in music. High school work consists of chorus singing and a fair degree of enthusiasm is shown. I wish to acknowledge the hearty co-operation of the teachers given me in my work. Respectfully submitted, for the NELLIE J. KRUGER,. Supervisor of Music r • 11 REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING Mr. Alberto W. Small, Superintendent of Schools Yarmouth, _Massachusetts My dear Mr. Small: My report of this year, with the exception of minor changes and a few additions, remains the same as that of last year. In the grades we have been doing the customary work in Nature Drawing and. Color, Object Drawing and Lettering. In the upper grades English and Drawing have been correlated in the writing of'autobiagraphies and making covers for them. In High school there is one class in Free Rand Drawing. Con- sidering the fact that all grades in High school take the same work, the results are even better than could be expected. I do hope that in the near future the classes will be divided. The girls have been painting scarfs and handkerchiefs and, as it seems to arouse a great deal of interest this work will be continued. In conclusion, I wish to express my appreciation of the inter- est you have shown in my work and to thank the grade teachers and all others who have assisted in the work of the year.

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, 1928, to May 22, 1929, made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 44 of the General Laws. This report is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. Edward H. Fenton, Chief Accountant of this Division. • Very truly yours, THEODORE N. WADDELL, , Director of Accounts Mr. Theodore N. Waddell Director of Accounts Department of Corporations and Taxation - State House, Boston Sir: As directed by you, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of. the town of Yarmouth for the period from January 1, 1928, to May 22, 1929, and submit the following report thereon: The books and accounts in the accounting department Were -ex- amined and checked in detaiL The reported receipts were checked with the records in the several departments .collecting money for the • 39 town and with the treasurer's cash book, and the expenditures were checked with the selectmen's warrants. . The town clerk's records of appropriations voted by the town were examinedand checked to the ledger accounts. The ledger accounts were analyzed and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial con- dition of the town as of May 22, 1929. The boots and accounts of the treasurer were examined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts were compared with the records of departmental payments to the treasurer, with other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury, and with' the accounting officer's books, the disbursements being checked to the warrants. The cash book was footed for the period covered by the audit, and the bank balance was reconciled with a statement furnished by the bank. ' ° In checking the treasurer's receipts it was found that, in 1928, the Commonwealth reimbursed the town for 108 bounties on seals at 52.50, or $270. The town treasurer presumably retained the fees of 50c allowed him on each bounty by statute and entered on his cash book receipts on account of bounties aggregating $196, which sum is $20 less than the amount due the town, namely, 108 bounties at $2.00, or $216. There is, therefore, due from the treasurer the sum of $20. It is recommended that the treasurer enter .on the cash book the gross receipts from the State on account ofbounties, and that the fees due him be paid on regular treasury warrants. The savings bank books and securities representing . the invest • - _ ments of the trust funds in the custody of the town treasurer and the trustees of the Sears Fund were examined, and the: income was proved. Arrangements have now been made for transferring the savings bank books and securities representing the investment of the Sears Fund to the -custody of the town treasurer and, in the future, the income received is to be added to the fund and reserved for use in accordance with the terms of the bequest. . The accounts of the tax collector were examined and ' checked • 40 in detail. Many errors and omissions were discovered, making it necessary to, analyze the -commitment books on which there were out. standing•taxes and to check every item in the cash books to the commitment- books. The abatements were checked to the assessors' record of abatement; granted and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved. The outstanding accounts were further verified by mailiii notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, the replies received thereto indicating that the accounts, as listed, are correct. • `. No apparent effort has been made in the past to reconcile the different tax levies, which have been settled by the collector by. pay- ing over to the town the balance due on the respective levies ap- proximately two years and three months After their commitment. The levies of 1925 and 1926 were settled on this basis, therAeing, however, interest due on these levies as •follows: $227.78, for 1925 and $375.72 for 1926, ora total'of $603.50. This amount has been set upon the accounting officer's books s as due from the collector. The collector's accounts were in a deplorable condition necessi-. eating. as previously stated, considerable detailed checking, which materially increased the cost of the audit. The town clerk's "records of dog and sporting licenses issuedfor the County and. the State, respectively, were examined,-' and he payments to the County and the State *ere verified. The fees re- ceived by the town clerk were analyzed, and the payments to the town were checked with the treasurer's records. , ' " The records of licenses issued by the selectmen for the year 1928 were incomplete, and it was therefore impossible to verify .them properly. - The accounts of the sealer of weig"'hts and measures were ex- amined, and the payments to the treasurer were verified: , The surety bonds of the treasurer, collector and town clerk were` examined. • In addition to the balance sheet, there are appended to this re- port tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash and sum- - , • 41• - maries of the tax accounts, together with tables relative to the trust fund transactions. • For the co-operation received from the several town officials during the progress of the audit, I wish, on .behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express appreciation.

BASSETT i Clerk. • 95 YARMOUTH PLANNING BOARD, ANNUAL REPORT; 1929 In accordance with the Massachusetts General 'Laws . whict require that Planning Boards should make an annual report, I have the honor as Chairman of the Yarmouth Planning Board to submit this report. Our last annual report contained the following recommenda- tion: ecommendation: "School Problems. A committee appointed at the annual' town meeting of 1928 have made a careful study of our school eonditions, and their report should receive the careful consid- eration of every voter, as the question as to what is best to be done to improve our school conditions is the most important question to be considered at the coming town meeting." - A special committee was appointed at our annual town meet- ing who should, in conjunction with the School Board, study care- fully our whole school problem and recommend a suitable site for a consolidated school house, etc. .This committee •of course has considered carefully the important questions as to whether Dennis and Brewster will send scholars to a school in Yarmouth, and if so, . on what basis. Until this most important question' is clearly and definitely settled it does not seem that Yarmouth can make any final decision as regards a new school house. - Inasmuch as the report of this special School Committee, on which much careful study has been given, has not yet appeared, it would seem out of place for any further recommendations on the school problem to be given in this report. Let all of tis who vote in Yarmouth consider carefully the report of this special School Committee when it appears, and then_ 96 -without prejudice or undue haste and after full debate and study, let us vote for what we believe to be best for our children and our 'Town. Respectfully submitted, THOMAS C. THACHER, Chairman, Yarmouth Planning Board. • •1 97 REPORT OF THE TOWN CLERK 26 marriage certificates, .' 24 certified copies of birth, 7 certified copies of death, 14 garage registrations, 22 gasoline registrations, 1 gunpowder registration, 28 milk license fees, • .2 oleomargarine fees, Recording bills of sales, Recording auctioneer's license, Recording 2 junk .licenses, -Recording 2 permits to weigh coal, Issued 130 male dog licenses, Issued 35 female dog licenses, 175 00 $260 00 165 dog license fees, Paid County Treasurer dog tag, Issued 200 res. hunter's licenses, Issued 3 non -res. hunter's licenses, Issued 2 non -res. hunter's licenses, Issued 21 res. trapping licenses, Issued 10 minor trapper's licenses, Issued 2 alien hunter's licenses, Issued 4 res. lobster licenses, Issued 1 non -res. lobster license, 283 fees $59.50, 5 fees 75e., • $435 00 33 00 $402 00 402,00 450 00 15 75 4 50 47 25 7 50 30 50' 20 00 5 00 $564 75 • 60 25 $504 50 $26 00 6 00 1 75 7 00 11 00 50 , 14' 00 1 00 1.20' "25 50 .50 33 00 60 25 • Date of Birth January 9, January 23, February 3, February 9, February 15 February 27, March 9, March 9, March 12, April April 19, April 29, May 12, Mny 16, May 20, May 26, May 29, June 27, June 29, June 30, July 1,.

ADDENDUM During .the deliberations of the Committee one of its. members, Mr. Elmore, joined with Mr. I. K. Taylor and Captain Albert N. --Matthews in offering to give the Town approximately sevenor eight acres of land as a site for the schoolhouse or as a site for combined schoolhouse and municipal building. The .land is located in the Village of South Yarmouth, on Pond Street, about twelve hundred feet from Main Street, and -at the junction of Pond Street and Wood Road. Being one of the proposed donors of a site for the building lIr. .Elmore felt that it would be improper for him, as a member of the Committee, to take any part in the selection of or to vote, as a mem- - ber of the Committee for any site. He believes most thoroughtly that there is need and that it is wise for the Town to build at this time a consolidated schoolhouse and municipal building, but, for the above reason, prefers to leave the question of site to the choice of the town meeting without expression of preference on his part as a mem- -.ber of this Committee.

A• • REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS To the School Committee of Yarmouth, Mass. Miss Knowles and Gentlemen: I present herewith my fifth annual report to the School Com- mittee of my native town, the fourth report having been submitted at the close of the year 1912. This report is also the thirty-eighth in the series of the district superintendent's reports. Since I have held office but four months, I have little to say at this time except to call attention -to two very vital and over -shadow-, ing problems of this department. A Modern Schoolhouse Needed. The first demand made upon the town, if it would have a school system equal to those of the progressive towns of the state, is for modern quarters in which to carry on instruction. In comparison with children in other towns where reasonably up-to-date school houses are maintained, our children are not having an equal opportu- nity. Families moving here from towns where the educational equipment is satisfactory feel keenly the deprivations facing their children when they have to attend school in buildings of the Civil War type. And we have such families. We also have lost some families as residents because of unsatisfactory school housing con- ditions. The article voted' at the last town meeting appointing a com- mittee "to select 'a suitable site for a consolidated school house" and to furnish plans and estimates for the same proves that there is a substantial number of our thoughtful citizens who realize our unfavorable housing conditions and who, having ,the best interests of our children at heart, approve of remedial action. In the main, we hear only two objections to having -a school plant in which a progressive town can take pride. One is expressed in the time -worn remark of the older generation that what was good 6 - f enough for them is good enough for now.Most lights e very int le, however, vitiate their philosophy by using ridineir g homes instead of the candle or kerosene lamp, and •by in an automobile over an oiled macadam highway instead of in a hone and buggy over a sandy road. The second objection is to the cost as reflected in increased taxes. Of course a good building with - all desirable and proper equipment will cost a large sum of money just as our fine roads have cost the town (to say nothing of the ' - state) one hundred ninety thousand dollars - ($190,000) in the last twenty -years. But a town that has not spent a cent for any sehool buildings for about seventy-five years should -be ready to expend something in this direction by now and be thankful for the long interval in which it was free from such expense. I have faith to be- lieve that the great majority of our citizens will not let the item of cost influence them nearly as much as the •recognition of the need of helping our children get a fair show in terms of healthful, efficient, attractive school rooms where tray must spend so many hours of the most important years of their lives. some people in all good faith question the advisability of a con- solidated school because of the tiansportation involved in bringing together the elemental -3- grades of the three different villages The answerto this question is that consolidation of small schools into larger units has increased in very large measure not only. throuo out the country as a whole, *but within our own state in particular, and withthe recent development of good roads and -automobile buses this movement has taken on added momentum. If every child could live within easy walking distance of a well -graded and well- equipped school and during the noon hour could have a midday meal with the family, as is possible in many thickly settled towns, all would be well. But in poorly graded schools where a goodly number of pupils already have to bring their lunches and ipn many` eases are already transported, it is another thing. Carrying them to a good building with fewer grades to a teacher, with a lunch room where they can eat in neatness and comfort and be served as desired with a warm drinkor-dish, and protecting them from stormy 7, and very cold weather by riding in 'a safe, comfortable bus in the care of -a competent driver is a decided benefit to the pupils as a whole. Back as far as 1869 our state passed a law authorizing towns to raise money for transporting pupils to -and from the public schools. Towns immediately took advantage of this provision both to convey pupils to high school and to transport pupils from smaller districts - to larger ones. The steady growth of this practice from so early a date up to the -present lime shows that the advantages of trans- portation to larger and better -organized and better -equipped schools far outweigh its disadvantages: 1 • - Present High School Handicapped. The second very serious and pressing demand upon the town , is for the present handicap to the high school to be removed. I re- fer not only to the cramped and unsuitable quarters that it occupies on the second floor of the present obsolete building but in particular to the handicap of its small enrollment. The small high school such. as ours has these shortcomings: • 1. The smaller the high school the higher the per pupil cost when even a meager program of studies is offered: If full advan= tages are offered such as physical education, art, music, domestic • science for girls and the practical arts for boys the cost becomes exceedingly high with a - small membership. 2. A small school means small classes. While classes can be too heavy in numbers for teachers to give the proper attention to individuals, they can also be too small because with only a handful in a group there is .a lack of wholesome competition. The slower . minds miss the stimulus of the quicker minds. The more superficial thinkers are steadied by the more reflective type of students. Theta is more of a give-and-take, more of a spirit of emulation and example in a fair-sized group as against a class of only three, four or five. Pupils at school learn not only from their text books and teacher but from their contacts with one another and there is more of a spirit 1, • 8 of liveliness, interest and progress in a fair-sized group than in a small one. 3. In a small school it is harder to departmentalize instruction since more subjects have to be assigned to a teacher. It usually happens that in addition to the subject in which she is well qualified to give instruction, a teacher is required to carry along other subjects which may. not be along the lines of her preparation of interests. • 4. This last factor leads to another problem of the smaller high school—that of frequent changes in the teaching staff. It is not to be wondered at if a teacher kith other subjects than those she prefers takes the first opportunity to move to a larger school where she can both carry fewer subjects and be assigned to the one or two which are her specialties and to which she can devote her energies with enthusiasm and confidence. 5. This situation also brings about the necessity of using in- experienced teachers as a rule because the teacher of successful ex- perience is not attracted to the small school where she must carry along more subjects and do with less equipment. To summarize, the disadvantages of the small high school are: 1. High pupil costs 2. Limited curriculum 3. Small classes - 4. Teachers with subjects which they are not well 5. Frequent changes in the staff of teachers 6. Many inexperienced teachers The advantages of a larger school L More reasonable per pupil cost 2. Broader program of studies 3. Larger and more interested classes 4. Better departmentalization of work 5. Teachers better prepared in their subjects 6. More likelihood of a longer term of service from satisfactory are: prepared to teach • teachers. 9 7. A better. paid principal with more training and experience and' probably a longer term of service. 8. Better organized school in general; a more wholesome and en- thusiastic development of school athletics and of other phases of physical education; more opportunity and stimulus to the.form- ing of school orchestras, cL-oruses, dramatic, literary and debat- ing clubs, and other extra -curricular activities which, without taking from the regular work, give students broad preparation: for the realities of the bu.,i«ss and so cial life in which they must soon participate. Just as the consolidation of the elementary grades is a desirable educational advance, so the combining of, two or three small high- schools'into a larger unit would be a. decided educational advance. The building, equipment, teachers, organization; and supervision can all be much more efficient and consequently 'a higher quality of results can be 'obtained. . Some plan of union, therefore, of the three high schools of our superintendency district (a matter already under earnest discussion) is to be devoutly wished for. A Survey of Our Present Buildings - With the need of a modern school plant thus set forth; the fol- lowing brief survey of our present -buildings has a further and slight- ly more detailed bearing on the matter. . In each of the three villages of the town there is a school house built at a time beyond the memory of most people now living. The erection of these buildings marked the end of the district school,_ a one -room -one -teacher affair, and the beginning of the village school of two or more'rooms. It is easy to imagine how different the schools were in their aims and methods of instruction three quarters, ofa century ago and it is obvious that school houses built -at that time cannot help but be sadly out-of-date and but poorly adapted to present day needs. If one stops to think, it is 'surprising, not that a new plant is necessary, but that these present plants have 10 been allowed to be used for so long a period and in the face of progress made in so many other places. Most of the class rooms are not of standard size. The two rooms at Rest Yarmouth; on the first floor are too small and crowded, . unwholesome conditions prevail, The two rooms on the first floor at Yarmouth and one on the upper floor at South Yarmouth are much too large, making them difficult to heat and ventilate and unattract- ive in appearance. Only the two rooms on the first floor of the South Yarmouth building, and the new one at West Yarmouth closely ap- proach the standard size. The old Wooden plant in which the high school is now housed is utterly unsuitable and insufficient, and d no amount of change in it has been able, or will be able, to give the high school properquar- ters. It occupies one largeroom and three very small makeshift rooms, the typewriting room being distressingly small. The school has no science laboratory, no commercial room worthy of the name, no school library, no`domestic science room suited for present needs, no lunch room, no manual training room (the room for the manual training building located in the school yard and given some years ago by Mr. C. R.. Simpkins in memory of his brother, Congressman Simpkins, being now used for the first and second grades), uo gymnasium, no assembly hall; no athletic field. The corridors in all of the buildings are cold, cheerless, and in most eases poorly lighted.. The stairways in all of the buildings pare extremely steep and narrow and in ease of fire would be a menace to the safety of the pupils. • The high school building has a gravity system of heating and ventilating that was installed about eighteen years ago. This system carried out the modern idea of supplying heated fresh air with foul air duct to get rid of the used air. But the rearrangement of the upper floor so as to try to -get more recitation rooms has interfered with the best operation of the system. On the South and West sides there is only one room that has an approved heating arrangement. This is the room put in shape last summer on the second floor at West r • • •• 11 Yarmouth under. the supervision of the state inspector of buildings. • There is no running water in any building. Therefore, there are no bubbler drinking fountains, no wash bowls, and no flush closets.. In some cases the floors are old and worn, with many wide cracks. Since there are no cellars under the buildings many of the floors on the first story: are cold and drafty in winter. Doors and casings, windows and casings (except where . new windows have been put in in recent times) are worn and poorly fitting. • In all of the buildings toilet accommodations -are very primitive\ for nowadays. They are outside at some distance from the building and have all the uncomfortable and unsanitary charactersties that belong to this type. Their location makes their supervision difficult and their moral influence has always been open to serious question. The lighting conditions in the small recitation rooms in the high school are anything but good for the eyesight of the students. 'There is no electric lighting in any of the buildings, except in the new room at West Yarmouth although there are some hours of the day at certain seasons when even the most modern school needs artificial light. There is light in -the new room because it occupies space formerly used by the village library which was equipped with electric lamps. The Importance of the School Plant A well built school house with modern equipment provides a . more wholesome and stimulating atmosphere for •pupils to study in and teachers to work in. Children will be more interested and sue- cessful and will be inclined to stay in school longer in properly light- ed, heated and ventilated class rooms that are satisfactoryily equip- ped than in a school room environment lacking those advantages.. Teachers will be happier and more efficient if they are in good up-to- date surroundings and with fewer grades to a room. Younger tea- . chers who have shown a capacity for successful teaching will be more likely to stay longer under improved conditions. It is -hardly to be wondered' at that the young teacher of prom}se, with 'three grades 12 in the building of the pre -Civil -War type takes the first opportuiuty to go to another town where these disadvantages do not obtain. – The good health of pupils requires good heating and ventilating conditions in the school rooms where they spend so• large a part of - their growing life.'• With the exception of the room equipped this last summer with a jacketed stove that has a fresh air inlet and a foul air outlet, none. of the class rooms on the South and West sides can qualify as having fully approved heat and ventilation. Children should have access to running water for drinking and washing purposes with proper plumbing arrangements. The schools are trying to teach that drinking plenty of pure water freely is an aid to good health and that clean hands and faces are a preventative of contagion as well as an asset of `personal neatness. Children's eyesight should be conserved. We find that not only grown people but many children are compelled to use eye glasses. The school should be an instrument. for the preservation of good eye- sight rather than an influence tending toward eye strain. The un- satisfactory lighting at the high school is already mentioned. The best .lighting is the unilateral type, or one side given over entirely to windows with the light coming from the pupil's left side. Although through the greater part of the year sunlight is available so that any school room with sufficient window area can be well taken care ,of, it is nevertheless a fact that through the months of November and December, particularly the afternoon sessions on gray, cloudy days the most modern room cannot get adequate daylight. That is the reason why no school is built nowadays without the installation of electric lights. Another reason is to enable school rooms to be used on proper oceasions during the evening Vestibules and corridors which children use day after day for many years should be inviting—not repelling—and stairways should • be broad and gradual for the safety of pupils. Modern sized classes should have the advantage of modern sited class rooms in which heating, ventilation, seating arrangement and interior decorations are at their best: - Children should have access within the building to satisfactory • i i 13 toilets that are of the modern type of flush closets. • Such arrange- ment carries with it not only improvement of sanitation and the doing away of the necessity for children to run out from the main building in all sorts of weather but is more likely to assert a far more moral influence than the old outside toilets. Even if there are yet many homes where more primitive conditions still exist, the school building in which the coining citizens of our community are receiving their training should reflect the modern and more desirable conditions in life—not those which prevailed a generation or so ago. Running water has been made possible by thegasoline engine and later by the. electric pump and pressure tank, even in rural communities. The school as example should develop the appreciation of better standards of living and encourage pupils to want improved conditions in homes of their own which they must some day have. Finally, pupils should be grouped into larger units so as to per- mit better grading or fewer classes to a teacher and so as to make it more easily possible to organize an opportunity class. This is com- posed of pupils who are three years or more mentally retarded. The law today requires towns having ten or more such children to "estab- lish special classes for their instruction, according to their mental attainments, under regulations prescribed by the department." All of these advantages can be realized and the present disad- vantages done away with by the erection of an eight room building to serve the elementary grades of the town, and by making other pro- visions for the high school. - The School Population Another fact having a bearing on the matter oP a new school plant is that the town is now likely to face a growing school popu- lation. For a number of years back the general population on the Cape, and consequently the school population, declined. There is evidence now, however, that the tide has turned. One neighboring town has recently built a school which is now overcrowded. Another Cape town has built a large junior high school and two elemen- tary schools. Still another has put up a new building holding the 14 consolidated schools both elementary .and high. Again, another nearby comgaunity has just finished what practically amounts to a new junior and senior high school building. Yarmouth this school year has three new class rooms, partly to provide betfer gradipg conditions but also because of increased enrollment. The West Yarmouth section of the town, which used to have the smallest school population, has now the largest owing to its nearness to Hyannis. Such sections as Hyannis Park and Colonial Acres have become suburban sections of Hyannis as a busi- ness center. • In. Colonial Acres thirty-one houses have been built in a little over two years. Their significance to the school department is that lost of these are not summer cottages but new homes for young, growing families for all the year round. Within another year or two a demand for more school room for children born and reared , in this newly settled location is absolutely sure to arise. The high school has fifty-eight pupils with clear possibilities of growth owing -to the facts of the growth in the elementary school just mentioned. In conclusion let me say that this report does not imply_ over- looking the good already existing or not appreciating the construc- tive efforts made in behalf of the schools up to this time. It simply desires, in a spirit of service to the children, to point to the still better things. - Is the best any too, goad for those who must "carry on" after we finish? - With sincere acloaowledgments of the loyal and earnest co-oper- ation of the school committee and the teachers extended me these - past months int our new relationship, I am Respectfully yours, - C. R. STACY, Superintendent of Schools. December 31, 1929. s • , 15 REPORT 'OF HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL Mr. C. R. Stacy Superintendent of Schools Yarmouth, Mass. Dear Mr. Stacy: I herewith submit my annual- report for the fall of 1929, as principal of Yarmouth High School. The school. opened September third with an enrollment of fifty- seven pupils. Since that time two pupils have entered, one has left school, and two have transferred to another school, making our -present enrollment fifty-six. This enrollment consists of the fol- lowin .: nine Seniors, twelve Juniors, thirteen Sophomores and twenty-two Freshmen. The attendance for the first three months has been 92.6 per cent. I believe that this percentage attendance should be higher for these first months, when the weather is much better than that which follows. This attendance is due largely to the absence of a few pupils who are absent many tines for no good reason: The co-op- eration of the parents in respect to absence is urged, for no pupil can do good school work with frequent absence. In the teaching force of the sehool•there have been two changes. Our domestic science teacher, Miss Hurley, left at the end of June and has been succeeded by 'Miss Mary E. Phelps, who graduated from the State Normal School at Framingham in 1929, with a de- gree of B. S. in Education. Miss Thompson, our art teacher,- also resigned at the end of the school year and has been succeeded by Miss Constance Lamont, who graduated from the Massachusetts Art School after•a four-year. degree course. The academie standing of the' school is not as high as I hope to see it, but the teachers all feel that there is a better attitude toward school work and that the standing has improved, and it is our purpose to work earnestly for continued improvement. • • 16 The honor roll for the first marks consists of the following: High Honor—Marjorie Baker '31 Lucy Burgess '32 _ Low Honor—Madeline Jenner '33 Lettie Nickerson '33' Frederick Small '3b ' Genevieve Stever '32 Raymond. Syrjala '32 The course of study this year has not been changed except for the addition of a course in Latin which a few pupils were very desirous of studying. • There is at present considerable interest in basketball_ Both the boys and girls will support teams according to the present plans. Since four members of the boys' team are lost through gradu- ation, it means that Mr. Jenner will have to buidlargely a new team this year. Last year the team played we and finished in second place in its division in the Cape Cod Le ane. This year the school is a member of the same league which is divided into three - divisions. We are members of a division with the teams of Brew- ster and Dennis High Schools. Due to the fact that the building we used last year as a gym- nasium for practice in basketball, has been converted into a school room for the first and second grades, the teams are somewhat han- dicapped this year. It is necessary to have all practice in Lyceum Hall, which, besides being inconvenient on account of its distance from the school, is also an added expense.. The needs of the school still remain to be practically the same as in previous years. But in spite of repetition., perhaps it is well to mention the fact that pupils are subjected to much eye strain on days which are cloudy. Particularly is this true in the type- writing room where it is impossible for the pupils to see readily in copying written work for typewriting. In fart, it is sometimes necessary to omit those classes because of lack of sufficient light. Also at all times there is insufficient light in the domestic scienee room. • 17 • The lack of a proper laboratory and apparatus . is in good part the reason for lack of interest in physics, there.being but three pu- pils studying that course this year. It is almost impossible to heat the main room of our high school quarters sufficiently on cold windy days. We sadly miss equipment for developing athletics for all pu- pils and modern plumbing facilities. At this time, when there is so much said about the construe tion of a new school building, in consideration of the needs of the • school at present, if many people would inspect a thoroughly modern school house and then compare it with Qur present buildi g, doubt- less there would be a very favorable comment concerning the pro- posed new building. In conclusion, I wish to express my appreciation for the co-op- eration given by the superintendent, teachers, parents and pupils, and to • extend a ordiai invitation to the parents to visit the school. Respectfully submitted, OSCAR L. GARLAND, PrincipaL- December 31, 1929. • 18 REPORT OF ART SUPERVISOR _Mr. C. R. Stacy • Superintendent of Schools Yarmouth, Massachusetts My dear 3Ir. Stacy, My work in drawing in the grades has been planned in accordance with four general objectives. First to teach the ,child to recognize order as the basis of beauty in nature and in art. Sec- ond to develop the creative ability and imagination. of each child. Third to develop an ability to think and see clearly. Fourth to develop skill in the use of different tools and materials. - To carry out the first two objectives I am teaching the funda- mentals of design. The child czeates his own design guided by cer- tain laws and principles, thereby gaining knowledge of order yet left free to create. We also hunt and find in nature the law or principle which we are applying in design. So far the work in — • design has been for the pure joy of creating, however applied in one or two instances. Also to develop creative imagination, some _illustrations of stories and poems have been done. To carryout the third objective, work has been done with action figures. To carry out the fourth objective construction work has been given consisting of paper cutting, pasting, and folding, and work with water colors is being given in all grades above the fifth.., In the High School our ohhjective is a little different. There we need to develop an'appreei tion of art and the practicaluse of • it in every day life. We wish to have the student understand the principles of beauty, of design, and of color, well enough to apply them to his surroundings at home, at school, and in business. Al- though the work has been practically the same in design` and in representation as in the grades, which I found was necessary as the students need to know the work under my first three objectives in the gradesin order to be appreciative, I have tried to emphasize 19 the practical application of the principles. The lack of space, and' necessarilythe lack of equipment because of lack of space, the s massing together of the fo7r classes, and inadequate time has made • the carrying out of the plan .very difficult. Though handicapped, the work has progressed. The objectives for the class in mechanical drawing are to acquire skill in working with certain tools;: to work with speed,:. accuracy and neatness; to develop the ability to visualize an object ..or idea, and to think clearly. The work has been progressing more rapidly in this course than in free hand drawing !because the class - is smaller and the equipment meets the needs of 'the course more - completely. o In conclusion I wish to -express my appreciation of your inter est and co-operation in my work and to thank the teachers who have - co -operated with such a fine spirit. 'Respectfully submitted, CONSTANCE LAMONT, Supervisor of Art. December 31, 1929. • 1 1 1 .20 REPORT OF MUSIC SUPERVISOR :Mr. Chester R. Stacy - - Superintendent of Schools - • South Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Stacy, In my report of. last year, I. outlined briefly the procedure used -in teaching music in the schools of Yarmouth. The same is being followed this year, with a few additions. Much benefit as well as enjoyment is gained by motion songs and simple folk dances among the first and second grade children. With the grades divided as —they are now, I feel that work in music is progressing mach better than last year. Fourth and fifth grades are doing good, two-part singing; sixth, seventh, and eighth, three part. ; In these higher grades, boys with changed voices will be given practice in reading the bass clef, thus laying the foundation for intelligent sight-reading in later years. There is great need for suitable pianos• in every school building, and it is hbped that this need may be overcome, in the near future., High School chorus singing is being entered into with much enthusiasm, and considering the crowded condition in the main room, satisfactory work is being accomplished. At this time, I wish to express my sincere thanks to all teachers, and superintendent for their hearty co-operation and interest in helping to give the girls and boys of the town something which will enrich their lives and afford them endless pleasure. "The richest • ehild is poor without music instruction." Respectfully submitted, NELLIE J. KRUGER, Supervisor of Musie. December 31, 1929. 21 .
