This event should not pass unnoticed. We recommend that at a Yarmouth town meeting a committee be appointed to look into this matter, and later on, report with recommendations and an estimate of expense. Our citizens will recall that at the annual towii meeting of February, 1935, it was voted "that the Planning Board make such recommendations for consideration at the next annual town meeting as will best promote the health, -safety, convenience and welfare of our inhabitants, lessen the danger from fire, and will tend to improve and beautify our town." No appropriation was made for this purpose until the annual town meeting of 1936, when a sum was voted.. The Planning Board have during the past year endeav- ored to carry out this vote of the Town. Arthur C. Comey, State Consultant for our Commonwealth, was employed as our Consultant, and George F. Clements of Yarmouth ren- dered valuable services as local assistant. Several public hearings were held, at which the tentative by -laved was explained and discussed and the zoning map shown. Many valuable suggestions. were given then and later on by public spirited citizens. As a consequence, the very mild and liberal by-law submitted was further liberalized. In short, the Planning Board, with a very difficult task before them, have done all in their power to present a bill not too drastic, but one which will injure no citizen but will benefit all citizens. There is no reason for needless alarm. Read the bill care- fully. You will see that no permit whatever is required for any repairs or building, and night camps are permitted under reasonable regulation. A large map, prepared with the great- est care by Mr. Clements, will be shown at the town meeting. The Planning Board have worked faithfully and have taken advice coming from all angles and parts of our town. They 1 a i a 47- are.very grateful to our public spirited citizens for this help- ful advice. This by-law, which is herewith presented, is one of the most important matters to be considered by our Town. Our Board think that we have presented a fair and liberal bill, which we trust will have the favorable consideration of the voters. All of which is respectfully submitted. THOMAS C. THACHER, Chairman. Yarmouth, Dec. 31, 4936. Town of Yarmouth PROPOSED ZONING BY-LAW Prepared by the Planning Board December 11, 1936 A by-law to promote the health, safety, convenience, morals, and welfare of the inhabitants by dividing the town .into districts and regulating the use and construction of buildings and premises therein. - SEC. I. ESTABLISHMENT OF DISTRICTS 1. Classes of Districts. The Town of Yarmouth is here- by divided as shown on the Zoning Map dated December 11, 1936, and filed with the Town Clerk, into three classes of districts: Residence districts, Business districts, Industrial districts. 2.

KNOWLES, Town Clerk 95 REPORT OF ENGINEER - - AND W. P. A. COORDINATOR Yarmouthport, Mass., January 12, 1937. To the Selectmen of Yarmouth: Article 9, in the warrant for the special Town meeting of May 29, 1936, authorizing by its approval, the engaging of "engineering services in preparation of an accurate map of the Town for use of the Assessors and other officials of the Town. also to provide for proper supervision of various pro- jects for the interests of the Town and such other service as the Selectmen shall require" has had the following results. Progress is being made as rapidly as possible in prepara- tion for the Town map. Location of highway lines along route 28 have been plotted and records of property along this highway are being searched to establish accurate locations, courses, bearings and distances so that when finally com- pleted this map will eliminate some of the confusion which now obtains as to location and extent of properties. Original plotting of this work is being done at a scale of 40 feet to an inch, but eventually these sheets will be consolidated at a smaller scale to make a more usable map. The larger scale is used in the interests of accuracy in determining areas. This work of necessity requires much work of searching rec- ords and in some eases will require an agreement between abutting properties as to the agreed location where all other resources fail to so establish a line. Even at this early stage it is apparent that there will appear some property of ques- tionable ownership, which will be restored to tax lists, and a certain amount of adjustment of records of areas, with the elimination of the words "more or less" when stating acreage of properties. Preparation has been started for the setting of per- manent bound stones on corners of all Town owned properties, as well as on angles and curves of streets where possible con- fusion might result. In the meantime. by your request the land south of Bass River Bridge where the present park is being constructed, has been staked out together with the roadway leading to it. Highland Street extension has also been staked out and 96 map made in preparation for acceptance by the Town of this additional distance.. Projects under the Works Progress Administration The very satisfactory results of the work done under - this Administration in the remodelling of the Old School Building into attractive and useful Town Offices, and the re- modelling of Lyceum Hall into one of the most attractive public meeting places in Massachusetts has demonstrated the conscientious ability of the former Town Co-ordinator, Mr: Frank H. Newcomb. These buildings represent a large asset to the Town and will become more and more valuable as the townspeople begin to make use of then. Certainly it has demonstrated a wise foresight in obtaining such buildings at so small a proportionate cost to the Town. Other W. P. A. projects initiated by Mr. Newcomb have been carried on with equal success,`and are demonstrating their value and use- fulness as time goes on. • In July the resignation of the W. P. A. Co-ordinator was accepted by your board and you requested me to assume the duties of that -assignment. In this capacity it has been my constant purpose to keep every needy person employed to the limit of our permitted quota, and to keep a sufficient number of approved projects ahead to insure continuation of such empldyment as long as Federal Relief Funds should be avail- able. In this connection the following projects have been submitted: Supplement to Project for Town Office Building, es- timates Supplement to Project for Lyceum Hall, one drawing, with estimates Supplement to Project for Sewing activities, with esti- mates Supplement to Recreation Project, with estimates Supplement to Moth Control project, with estimates and map Supplement to Mosquito project with estimates Project, landscaping Town Office Building Grounds, drawing and estimates �T 97 Project, Park near Bass River Bridge, 3 drawings and estimates • Project, Remodelling West Yarmouth Library building, 16 drawings and estimates Project, landscaping West Yarmouth Library grounds, drawing and estimates Project, landscaping Lyceum Hall grounds, drawing and estimates Project, Garage and Firemens Hall, Town Office Build- ing lot, 8 drawings and estimates Project, Establishment of protective fire lanes in wood- lands, map and estimates. In the production of these projects four topographical sur- veys have been made, as well as numerous additional detail sheets from which the more intricate construction can be done. The detail required in estimates has required many hours of work, but has brought the satisfaction of not having any project so far -submitted returned with less funds than estimates called for, and up to this writing no rejected pro- jects. A constant laiason is being maintained with the -Hy- - annis office of the W. P.. A. and numerous contacts have been made with Fall River in the interests of the work. We have received most cordial co-operation from both these offices. The exhaustion of the W. P. A. appropriation made by the Town last February, which occurred in July through expenditure and obligation, required salvaging of materials from whatever source _obtainable to keep projects running, and through • this means much material has been made use of which would possibly otherwise have been considered of no value. Salvaged lumber and building -materials from the old office building at Bass River Station was amounted to a saving of approximately two hundred dollars up to this time, with more available from that•source. No expense for trav- el, telephone or other purpose except two trips to Fall River has been incurred in connection with this supervision of W. P.. A. work. Two young mien have been assigned to work under my direction in the National Youth Administration. One .of these is engaged in learning architectural drafting and is assisting in preparation of details for West Yarmouth Li- 1 98 brary; the other is engaged in repairing second hand toys, and from this source was distributed, under direction of the welfare department a total of 250 toys, games and books at Christmas time. Other toys are now being repaired, after which he will be engaged in making bird houses for our Town parks. Every effort is made at all times to find work for needy persons. ' The limitations of quota requirements and re- quirements of eligibility are sometimes bothersome, but our quota has always been filled and in many months exceeded. The writer has held himself ready at all times to serve the needs of the Town to the limit of his abilities, and has given a total of over eleven hundred hours of time to the work requested of him. Every hour of this tune has been -a pleasure due to the co-operation of your Board and your un- selfish consideration of every problem presented. If this work is to be continued another year, as it should be, there be made some provision for the hiring of oc- casional assistance as rodman, chainman, or in searching titles. Also some provision for proper filing of plans in the Town Office building should be considered. Respectfully submitted, • HUBERT M. CANNING Engineer and W. P. A.

Several good gas masks for all purpose work, should be ob- tiiined; that will protect from the more common form of gases, such as Ammonia, Acid, Organic, Smoke and the most deadly of all, Carbon Monoxide Gas. Our need for gas masks was emphasized last year at the Brewer liquor store fire, where it was found necessary to complete ventilation before entry was possible, and even then the gases were dangerous. Bose also is a constant worry as it has to be handled with care to prevent mildew, contact with acid and de- terioration. The first two enemies of hose can be prevented but the last, deterioration means replacement and I would recommend a gradual replacement each year, rather than wait until all the hose become weak and gives out at a serious fire. - I also recommend the purchase of a life net as it is the means of saving the lives of people trapped in upper floors when there isn't time to procure and place ladders. There is, I believe, a State law requiring a life net for all Fire de- partments. Company No. 2 met once a month last year for practice drill and the working out of fire fighting problems. A dry hydrant with 105 feet of six inch pipe was laid into the pond back of the Yarmouth Camp Ground. It was tested December 27th, 1936, with excellent results. However, the pipe line should have been laid a few feet deeper to avoid freezing. but under the reduced appropriation for this pro- ject, this could not be done. The Yarmouth Firemen's Relief Association has again - paid for the Firemen's insurance in the Massachusetts State Firemen's Association, also paying the electric light bills at the Fire Station. The Firemen have extended the use of the rooms in the Fire Station to the W. P. A. Nursery School and other municipal activities. This is a worthy organization and as it is built around the firemen is receiving the support of the citizens. New members are always welcome. Respectfully submitted, U. FREDERICK STOBBART.

Of the two rooms thus vacated, one is used for an overflow section of small elementary pupils, aid the other for a household arts class room, thus giving us much needed additional space. With the release of these two rooms occupied as offices, there came the necessity for pro- viding for the equipment of these rooms for school purposes. This expense, along with the engagement of an additional teacher, was taken care of through the appropriation at a special town meeting of $878.60 to be added to our budget. THE TEACHING STAFF Miss Helen A. Palmer, who had been one of our teachers since 1929, secured a position in her home city of Worcester and left at ,he end of the fall term. Work along her line of junior high school mathematics was carried on the rest of the year by substitute teachers. and at the beginning of . last. September Mr. Ronald G. Billings was appointed to the po- sition a a regular teacher. Mr. Billings is a graduate of Eastern State Normal School and of the University of Maine and has had several years of successful experience as a teacher. Miss Evelyn H. Pickard, in charge of our commercial branches, at the close of the school year in June accepted a. position in Foxboro nearer her home. Miss Pickard had served us with entire success for one year, having come to us as a teacher of thorough experience in_her field. Her place, has•been filled by Miss Henrietta Olsen, a graduate of Mid- dlebury College and of Katharine Gibbs School, also with successful experience: Miss Elizabeth I. Rogers, who had been very acceptably teaching Latin and French since our present school was organized in 1931, resigned in June on account of marriage. Her place has been taken by Miss Dorothy L. Hand. a grad- uate of Tufts.College and a teacher of five years of successfui experience. Owing to the resin nation at the end of June of M.S. N Nellie K. Thacher. who had' been supervising .vocal music in the elementary grades, it became necessary to readjust our program in this particular subject in September. Mrs. Lois J. Snow,' a successful teacher of a number of years standing and now serving the towns of West Bridgewater and `Free- town, was found available. for part-time service with us. Ac- cordingly, she has taken over the work carried on last spring by Miss Margaret Russell in the high school. and Mrs. Thacher in the grades. • As result of increased numbers, one new teacher *as added when school opened in September and assigned to the sixth grade. Heretofore the sixth grade, along With the seventh and eighth, was receiving departmentalized instruc- tion. This arrangement grew out of our local conditions when we opened our new school but did not represent the accepted arrangements of junior high .school instruction which com- monly includes no grades below .the seventh. We now have Nix elementary grade rooms, each .with one teacher having the one grade. with the departmentalized program beginning with the seventh. Miss Dorothy C. Tobey, a graduate of the Worcester State Teachers College four-year degree course and with two years of successful experience in teaching, was selected for this sixth grade position. It will be noted that all these new members of the faculty have had good training and successful teaching experience as • they began their work here. VISUAL EDUCATION • Attention is particularly invited to the announcement in the Principal's report which relates to the school moving - .picture machine. I want to emphasize the growing impor- . tante of visual education in the work of the schools. Fur- thermore, I want to congratulate the Principal, the teachers, and the students on their initiative and energy in Under- taking the purchase of the machine without expense to the :choof department. 7777 ,. i Ird 1 10 THE RADIO Along with visual education, there is the important • medium of the radio in education. Having in mind the im- portance of these two great inventions of modern times in the field of learning, two committees of teachers have been appointed to make special study of best ways and means for using these forces in school and class room. One committee is working in the moving -picture field, the other in the radio field. MAINTENANCE By means of the special 'appropriation granted by the town in the annual meeting. extensive repairs have been made throughout the building. Exterior walls have been waterproofed and serious roof leaks remedied, thus eliminating the cause of trouble with interior ceilings and walls. Rooms throughout the building affected by any form of leakage or absorption of moisture and roonis with wall cracks, from whatever cause, have been reconditioned through replastering and repainting. Boiler room equipment has been put in improved condition, and the gymnasium lights have been reset close to the wall to avoid damage in games. , An unusual electric storm early in the summer wrecked the school's underground power cable and caused an un- foreseen and heavy expense. This came out of our regular repairs allotment. IMPROVED WOODWORKING EQUIPMENT In the manual training shops a spindle shaper and drill press with a motor for operation have been purchased. This equipment will be of great advantage in instructing the older boys in the more highly skilled operations of woodworking. This, together with a wood lathe, generously presented .by Mr. Frank L. Baker, a former member of the Yarmouth School Committee, will mark further progress in the quality • of our practical arts curriculum. The School Committee and teachers, particularly Mr. Webster, the manual training re kp»4.47k; . 11 teacher, extend to IIr. Baker their cordial thanks for his friendly act. THE HORACE MANN CENTENNIAL The year 1937 marks the one hundredth anniversary of - the beginning of Horace Mann's work for the public schools of Massachusetts as the secretary of the newly established State Board of Education. Not only his native state; but the nation a'S a whole, recognizes his contributions to the cause of education and will pay his memory honor this cen- tennial year. Among his achievements were the establishment of State normal schools. county teachers' conventions, State -aided district libraries, his twelve annual reports to the Massa- chusetts Board .of Education. and "The Common School Journal." Through these agencies and other cevoted efforts he advanced the cause of free, public education immeasurably. This fragmentary mention of a truly great American serves merely as an announcement of the commemoration. Our schools through the year will have appropriate activities designed to recall to our present generation the march of progress in education and to show how Horace, Mann played a most commanding part in this forward movement. • The celebration will take nn country -wide propositions and local connnunities and organizations. aside from the schools them- selves, will be encouraged to participate. ART The report of the Art Supervisor, Mr. Arthur W. Mc- Murtry, follows: . - The art work in accordance with modern trend in art edncation is planned about three centers ---the individual. the Home. and the vocation or future training of the student. It would be a further step in this direction to group the students in their art work as in other subjects, of -their choice in the High School. and to have drawing a recuirement for iwo years in the Junior High School, and an elective in the third and fourth years. It would also be a distinct advantage to those students 12 taking advanced free hand drawing in the High School if some paster casts could be obtained. Insofar as is practical, the art work is correlated with other departments of the school. The subjects covered, including the work aeeomplished in the Art Club, are: Modelling, Representation, Design, Color Harmony, Lettering, Stage Designing, and Illustration. The mediums used are: charcoal, pen and ink, pencil, -cater color, tempera paint, and crayons. • There have been few changes in the course for the Ele- mentary and Junior High departments. The Elementary work consists of representation, construction, color study, picture study, design, and lettering. The Junior High work is based upon an elaboration of these fundamentals and a closer correlation with the academic subjects. In Yarmouth this September Mechanical Drawing in the Junior High School was added to my program. Webster, ormey this subject was taught in the eighth grade by . but its introduction into the seventh grade is new. I have used the work books compiled by Mr. Webster and have found them to be most satisfactory. As this subject is taught by me in the Dennis upper grades, this change makes it possible to keep the Dennis and Yarmouth boys at a more even level. Further development of the work in picture study is planned for the coming year, for it is through such a means that interest in the art of painting may be developed and the vital relationship between art and life in some measure appreciated. I want to thank the principals and teachers for their never -failing co-operation and the students who assisted me in special tasks. Respectfully submitted, ARTHUR W. McMURTRY, Supervisor of Art THE PRINCIPAL'S REPORT Herewith is submitted my fourth annual report as prin- cipal ,of the John Simpkins School. 13 • Last June there were thirty-six graduates. These are now enrolled 'as follows: - College 9 Other Schools Post Graduates Employed 2 8 Ten are unaccounted for, although some of these have. Nee ured temporary' employment.. During the past few years, students have gone from Yarmouth High School to the following colleges: Hyannis State Teachers' College, Framingham State Teachers', Har- vard. Northeastern University, Regis, University -of Vermont, University of New Hampshire, 'Wheaton, Middlebury, Bry- ant, and New York University. The increase. in enrollment is naturally reflected in the enrollment by subjects.

DeVry talking picture projector unit was purchased for the school at a total cost of $588.75. To date $260.96 has been paid, leaving a balance of $327.79 to be paid before the close of this school year. This machine has been of material benefit in the visual education program of the school and has been found to be particularly effective in the fields of safety and health education where it is .essential to reach the students in large numbers. 1 The Dramatic Club continues its successful activities and presented plays for public performance as well as for school assemblies. . The orchestra continues to make valuable contributions to the school life. It has received many fine compliments wherever it has •played. The purchase of some of the less common instruments would enable the orchestra to improve its tonal balance. ' The school paper, • The Microphone, continues to grow in popularity with the student group and operates as an effective medium for the formation and expression of school opinions. The Model Air -Craft Club has affiliated this year with the Junior Birdmen of America; and, so. from being merely a local organization, it becomes a unit in a nation-wide or- ganization for this activity. Two service clubs. Tri -Hi and Hi -Y, have been of material assistance in solving some of the problems which every school body- has faced during these years of depression. Due to the fact that the school library must now be used as a class room, the need for a card catalogue becomes more and more urgent. • The increased enrollment this year has made a sub- stantial_increase in the cafeteria sales, as well as an increase in the amount of labor involved in. operating. Two new organizations have come into being since our last report : a Stamp Club which fosters the interes- of the pupils in stamp collecting and a Camera Club which directs the in- terest of the students in experimental photography. The Student Council, composed as it is of a boy and a girl member of each of the ten villages, is an effective help in understanding, interpreting, and acting on the needs of the student body. The Student Council is affiliated with the _Massachusetts Associated Body of Student Councils and has attended the organization meetings in Beverly and Fall River. .. Our Chapter of the National Honor Society. at Yarmouth High School, operates to stimulate interest in high scholar- ship. leadership, character, and service. Students are nom- 1ts inwti_:tr } 16 inated for this honor by members of the faculty and are elected to membership by the faculty council. Modern education recognizes that such qualities as social leadership and social cooperation cannot be taught from textbooks. These qualities, are developed in students by means of the cooperate life of the school as exhibited through and by its various organizations. That these activities work effectively to this end is evidenced by the positions of leader- ship which Yarmouth High. School graduates attain upon attending other institutions. The school is deeply grateful to the South Yarmouth Library Association for the gift of a large number of ref- erence books, and to all the libraries of both towns for their very helpful cooperation with our students. We are also extremely grateful to Mr. Frank L. Baker of South Yarmouth for his gift of a lathe to the Manual Arts Department. This machine has been stimulating to the interest of the boys and has proved,a challenge to their abilities. In closing, I wish to thank you and the Committee and the entire school staff for the' hearty cooperation which has been accorded me during the past year. Cordially yours, ARTHUR E. JENNER, . Principal SCHOOL PHYSICIAN'S REPORT "The school work during the year has proceeded in a generally satisfactory manner. Communicable diseases have interfered little with the schools, except in two or three towns where measles has been quite prevalent for a time. This is a disease which it is practically impossible to control to any great extent. As a rule the cases have•not been very severe, and classes have been carried on as usual. "The usual clinics including Diphtheria immunization, Dental, Tuberculosis, eye, throat, etc., have been held. "Parents are now taking their children to their own physician for immunization against diphtheria to a greater extent than has been the case in the past, but clinics are .of course being held where necessary in order that protection may be as complete as possible. Ass,„„.e�. 17 "All children have been given the regular physical examination. and all regular inspections have been carried on as usual. "All officials and organizations have assisted in the work in every way, and the nurses have performed their duties in their usual efficient manner. Special attention continues to be given to the matter of school lunches and correction of defects whenever possible. "It is our intention to make the work of each year a little more efficient than that of the preceding one, and this will be our effort for 1937. "I wish particularly to thank the Superintendents,__ Principals; and teachers in general for their unfailing as- sistance at all times.” Respectfully, A. P. GOFF, M. D. SCHOOL NURSE'S REPORT FOR 1936 The routine school work in Yarmouth has been carried on as usual during the past year. Clinics have been held 'for giving toxoid, for the prevention of diphtheria, an eye clinic for the correction of vision, a preschool clinic for children who are to enterschool in September; this is an attempt to discover and correct defects before the child enters school. Since a child has many adjustments to make in his first year in school, it seems only fair to remove all possible handicaps. This can and should be done. A preventive program,. sueh as - school nursing offers,. affects not only the individuals involved but the whole com- munity. Our Chadwick clinic, which is an effort .to discover Tuberculosis in individuals in its very beginning. affects -every person large or small, even though they are unaware of its existence. Unrecognized symptoms of tuberculosis in one -- individual would lead to the infe^tion of others and they in Their turn would pass it on. Tuberculosis can be entirely. eliminated by cooperation between .the health authorities and the public at large. The health of the community that hes within the preventive sphere is each individual's re- sponsibility as a good citizen. tliebiairsil II 1 - I. .1. 18 The statistical report 'is as follows: School visits Inspections Sanitary .__.

IiNOWLES, Treasurer 53 REPORT of YARMOUTH PLANNING BOARD In accordance with the Massachusetts General Laws, the annual report of the Yarmouth Planning Board is -herewith presented. . At the annual Town Meeting of _ 1935; the. Planning Board were instructed to "make such : eeoi1mendations for consideration at the next annual town' meeting (1936) as will best promote the health, safety, convenience and Wel- fare of our inhabitants, lessen the danger from fire, and will tend to improve and beautify our town." No money was. then appropriated for this purpose, but at the 1936 annual Town Meeting an appropriation was voted. Acting under 'this mandate, the Planning Board pre- pared a zoning by-law which many considered to be a very fair bill, mild and not too drastic, and drawn up to sale - guard the interests of the Town and all its citizens. How- ever, misapprehension arose on the part of certain people who had not attended the hearings. The by-law was defeated at the 1937 annual Town Meeting by the narrow margin of 19 votes, a marked change in sentiment since the time some years ago when a zoning • by-law was overwhelmingly de- feated. • Inasmuch as sentiment is changing, and as other pro— gressive ro-.gressive Cape towns are earnestly considering adopting some wise planning measures, let us hope that the voters of our Town may in their wisdom vote to accept some wise zoning measure. Representatives of our Board attended a conference held in Hyannis last September under the auspices of the Boerne Planning Board, to consider the possible location of the so-called Mid -Cape Highway; and other matters re- lating to the welfare of -the Cape, and the Bourne sponsors hope that there may be further meetings, with representa- tives present from all the Cape towns. The continued increase, in overwhelming numbers, of visitors, largely from off the Cape, .to our Town beaches and parks, has thrown a heavy responsibility and expense on our Town for police supervision, etc. There have been expenses, too, for repairs and protection of these beaches, damaged ,, r sometimes by heavy storms.: No charge Was as `Yet been made for the use of the bath houses. Many Cape towns get a source of revenue from rental- of their bath houses. San- itary conditions constitute another grave problem. Our Town authorities have this latter matter under consideration and doubtless a solution can be found, Which should bring ill revenue to the Town. As recommended in our last annual report, our Town at the last annual Town Meetingappointed a committee to study some plan for a suitable celebration of the Three Hun- dredth Anniversary of the settlement -of Yarmouth, which will take place in 1939. When the committee makes its report. let us hope that it will be accepted and that at the annual Town Meeting of 1939 a suitable appropriation .will be made. Our Town authorities have had to meet the ever present unemployment problem_ They are to be commended for their wise and timely action in providing employment on work on fire,protective belts and in trimming out certain "wood roads." These wood roads should be trimmed out from time to time to lessen the fire danger; many lovers of nature use these picturesque roads, and they should not be discarded. All of which is respectfully submitted. THOMAS C. THACHER, Chairman.

IiNOWLES, Town Clerk. 1 To the Selectmen of Yarmouth: During the, past year, slow, but..eonstructive progress has been made in the preparation of the Town map of prop- ' crties The frequent error in statement of content, and the lack of definite measurements or bearings:in descriptions of individual properties ,has necessitated searching many hours through records of transfers in an 'attempt to definitely es - 89 REPORT OF ENGINEER AND W. P. A. COORDINATOR South Yarmouth,` Mass., Jan. 17, 1938 tablish boundaries and corners. It is not infrequent to find that the sum of the content given in descriptions of properties within a given area does not tally with the total acreage within that area as determined from survey. Error in meas- urcments, or lack of .measurements in descriptions frequently produces a difference between the sum of individual lines and the measured total between- two established points. Until all these errors are. eliminated, and necessary adjustments inade,.no map -of the area worthy of the name can be drawn. It is quite obvious that approximation of lines and -measure- ments could be used to produce a map within a short space of time,. but the multiplication and perpetuation of error from such a source would be reflected for many years to come in the transfers of property and subsequently in the tax records of the Town. Itis quite. evident at this .early stage That through this correction work a. considerable amount of land will be added to the total now on tax records. Pre- liminary sheets are well started for areas on the north side of Route 28 and traverses have been run for much of the area covered by these sheets. Titles.have been searched on a fair percentage of this property and computations are being made to adjust errors and to tie the work in with Geological Survey markers, State Highway Bounds and other reliable and per- ? nnanent monuments. During the year bound stones have been placed at the Town Park and boundaries established on Highland Street; layout of Forest Street was made; estimates for Road Com- • missioners were furnished and assistance has been given to • 90 individuals in locating the boundaries of land in which they had an interest. Sketches, plans and details for constructionwork to be done through W.P.A. or through employment of welfare labor have required many hours of drafting. These jobs include the following: Completion of details for Packet Landing Park Completion of details for Community Building, West Yarmouth Complete preliminary plans for possible use of West Yarmouth building for school purposes, including • procurement of State Building Inspector's approval of plans. Sketches and plans for possible construction of two fire houses utilizing materials from old high school; subsequently changed and new plans drawn for one 4 small station for South Yarmouth. Sketches and plans for construction of Comfort Station at Town Park Beach, planning to use existing toilet buildings from West Yarmouth School and Old South Yarmouth School as nucleus of construction. Sketches and details for removal of garage and shed from - School grounds and reconstruction of same into five car garage for Town Office Building. • Cost estimates, material schedules and project proposals • _ have been made for the above where necessary. The past year has 'seen the completion of the following projects conducted under W.P.A. allotments: 1. Lyceum Hall reconstruction 2. Town Office Building 3. Lyceum Hall Grounds 4. Town Office Building grounds 5.. Packet Landing' Park at Bass River Bridge 6. Recreation Project 7. Sewing Project 8. Clam Planting Project 9. Shell Fish enemy project 10. Gypsy Moth Suppression 11. Mosquito Prevention project 12. Farm to Market Road Project 91 Atthe present time persons eligible for employment un- der W.P.A. are employed at West Yarmouth Community Building, on Sewing project at Hyannis and on Geodetic Survey. A total of 27 persons is at present employed under W.P.A. from Yarmouth. The total of Federal payrolls for the past year for the various projects operated in Yarmouth is more than $17,- 000.00. Thevalue of contributions made by the Town for the W. P. A. work during the year has amounted to over $6,400.00 of which more than $800.00 was in second hand mate- rials gathered •from various sources in the Town—materials which in some cases would have been waste. No collection of surplus materials, no unoccupied town owned building or property has been overlooked in our attempt to reduce to a minimum the cash outlay necessary to do the work called for by the projects. Much has been gained in the construction work at the West Yarmouth Community building through the employ- mentof welfare labor working with W.P.A. craftsmen and laborers. It has enabled the work to proceed with efficiency and has produced a definite return to the Town for the ex- penditure apenditure fromwelfare funds. The total cost of welfare workers so used up to January 13th inclusive on this building alone has amounted to $662.59. The work done by these men bas covered some items which were not included in the W.P.A. project and which would otherwise not have been possible to do, such as plumbing and electric wiring. When the Town approved an expenditure of .$2500.00 for. materials for this project, it was explained that no electric wiring, sanitary plumbing or heating would be included in the work. We have been able, however, in spite of increased material costs to include all electric work, fixtures, etc., and all plumb- ing, water supply and sanitary, in the reconstruction job without the necessity of asking the Town for additional appropriations. The building will be completed before May 15th. The present balances of appropriations will see this construction through. Of the money appropriated by the Town last year for W.P.A. work the sum -of $300.00 for materials for sewing projects was not used and has returned to general funds. • 92 On December 31st, 1937, from the unexpended balance of the appropriation for general W.P.A. .needs, the sum of $301.00 was transferred for interest .on Cemetery indebted- ness. Small balances remain -also in other appropriations made for W.P.A. materials, which have automatically re- turned to the general town funds. - On .December 1st, 1937, the town .held allotments from the Federal Government for contemplated and incompleted W.P.A. projects- totalling $28,829.00. Much of this will never be.used because of the impossibility of starting the projects concerned, some of which would require. large cash .expen- diture by the Town. No effort is being spared to see that the product • of relief labor does not create a permanent tax burden upon the Town. • In tbe_short time it has been used. Lyceum 'Hall has paid its cost of operation; it is quite ap- parent that the Community Building at West Yarmouth -will pay. its way, not only through local use; but through. use by people from Hyannis. The total time expended during the year in the work required has amounted -to over 2275 hours, an average of better than 43 hours per week. May I repeat again this year. however, that it has been.a pleasure to work with your board and the other officials of the Town;• also, that -I am ready at any and all times to give assistance in any problem within my abilities. I would like to recommend that serious consideration be given by the Town to the appropriation of a fund to be used for trucking and a -small amount of materials for use in - connection with work which can be done for the Town by welfare workers. Many permanent improvements could be accomplished by these men if trucks could be made available. In fact, with such assistance available as could be obtained from a fund of $2500.00 per year, every person on. relief who is able to work could be employed on work which would benefit the Town. Should W.P.A. cease to give aid to the Town through its projects, such a policy would seem to be almost a necessity. Your engineer would enjoy working out the details and supervising such work.

Present number of water services183 Vacancies incurred 12 Gallons of water .pumped 26,912,040 Stock on hand estimated value $ 457 80 Outstanding accounts $1,405 51 House services connected but not turned on 3 Gallons of water pumped to the Barnstable Fire District Cash received from the Barnstable Fire Dis- trict for water pumped from Dee. 1, 1936 to October 1, 1937 $1 017. 00 The Water Department Reserve Fund shows an increase of $402.93 over the reserve of last year and the present in- dications point to larger balances each year. It was found necessary to turn off two services this year because of. non-payment of water rates. ' The Water Commissioners intend to allow less credits and so commencing January 1, 1938, plan to turn off all services that are in arrears over a period of two .quarters. __Twenty new services have been installed this year. -A new bleeder has been installed on Vesper Lane. The Water Department has been functioning smoothly and has been fortunate in not having to make any major repairs. 9,862,000 - Financial Statement Appropriations: Balance on hand January 1, 1937 $ 582 89 Hydrant Rental 2 500 00 Receipts from Water Rates and Ser- vices 5 559 32 Total $8 642 21 • 94 Amount Expended: Office Supplies Power and Lights Superintendent's Salary Superintendent's Supply Town Labor Pumping Station Supplies Construction Supplies Collector's Salary Interest on Bonds Water Commissioners' Salaries Technical Service Truck Repairs General Repairs Truck Supplies Freight and Express Tools and Equipment Gasoline and Oil Fuel Oil Insurance Telephone Service Clerical Service Total Unexpended Balance Special Appropriation — Appropriation Amount Expended: Town Labor Pipe Fittings Copper tubing $ 34 98 1 404 00 1 560 00 60 00 . 590 75 16 64 659 20 150 00 2 065 00 300 00 65 71 46 30 . 650 89 62 4 55 -- 79 98 ' 201 40 43 31 73 50 54 95 150 00 $7 656 39 985 82 Pine Street Extension $200 00 $11150 1070- 61 88 Total Balance Respectfully submitted, Yarmouth Board of Water Commissioners By JOSHUA E.

Poles- Loss—invoice . cost Estimated savings on poles It is a pleasure to report the smallest building fire loss in 1937 of any year since this department was organized in 1931. The total • fire loss to buildings and also to their contents was estimated at $350.00. The largest single fire loss during the year was the do struction of 483 poles owned by the Cape & Vineyard Electri Cu. The Fire Department made an excellent stop of this fire and saved almost two-thirds as many poles as were lost. The poles were a perfect set-up for a fire, located as they were in seven piles elevated above the ground on piers with . grass growing up to and under the whole works. The poles ' themselves were saturated with a creosote solution and all • that was needed was a warm day and a spark. The warm day, occurred March 29, 1937, and the spark was' furnished the same day. The State of Massachusetts has been holding for the . past few years, what is known as the Massachusetts Zone Fire School, usually* located in some central town and to which each town in that particular 'zone sent not over four men for training as firemen. Yarmouth last year became the first Town in the State to have a Zone Fire 'School for the purpose of training its own firemen as. a single group. As this was an important favor to Yarmouth Firemen I was particularly pleased at our enrollment. •.All the firemen of company No. 2 and several members of Company No. 1 enrolled for the Standard Course of ten classes.. The following instructors attended our first half of tlir training course of ten classes: 1 1 1 1 13 0.00 . 0.00 50.00 3500.00 5200.00 3000.00 • • 97.. Lieutenant Murray, Somerville, Forcible Entry Captain .Jacobs, Wakefield, Ladder Work Captain Chournard, Fall River, Hose and Ladder Work Captain Backman, Waltham, Gas .Masks, etc. Mr. Manning,- Milton, Tools and Appliances - The last half of this course is expected to start some time in June 1938. While it is not my intention nor, as I believe, the desire of the citizens of our town, to havea Fire Department larger than the needs of our community, it is my intention to main- tain and keep in good condition what equipment we have and may acquire. in the future, and to train our firemen in the proper use of this equipment. The- Yarmouth Firemen's Relief Association Company No. 2 has been expanded to include the Firemen of Company No. 1 and is now known as The Yarmouth Firemen's Relief Association. A progressive movement andshould increase the membership materially. — - The Relief Association paid - the Firemen's Insurance in the Massachusetts State Firemen's Association up to Sep- tember, 1937, and the electric light bills for the Fire Station up to January 1, 1938. .

This is a gain of 72 per cent! _ Taking the elementary= division, or grades 1 to 8, numbers have grown from 198 in 1930 to 329 in 1937. This is a gain of 66 per cent! Taking the high school, grades 9 to 12, Yarmouth pupils only, there has been a growth of from. 58 in 1930 to 112 in 1937. This is a gain of 93 per cent! From the fall of 1931, when the new building was first occupied, the high was made up of both Yarmouth and Dennis pupils. The enrollment in October of- that first year included 75 Dennis pupils. This fall there were 102 pupils from Dennis, .while Yarmouth pupils in 1931 were 69 and in 1937, 112. In these six years Dennis pupils increased 36 percent, while Yarmouth pupils increased 62 per cent or almost twice as much. Such an astonishing expansion in numbers has the in- evitable effect of larger costs of operation and has brought about an inescapable demand for more room. In the fella 1936 we had 36 pupils in grade one. This last fall we had 54 in this first grade. Had it not been for the small room formerly used by the ;.electmen as an office, it would have been necessary to put this grade on a two - platoon plan. That is to say, a part of these 54 children would have had to go to school in the forenoon and the other part in the afternoon. If we should have another very heavy entering class next September, an arrangement of this kind will be unavoidable for grades one or two. Taking the entire school; We find the enrollment, as of October first, 1936, wa 493. In 1937, of the same date, it was 543. This is a gain of 50 pupils over last Sear! .1s YARMOUTH ENROLLMENTS As of October 1, not including Dennis pupils Grade I Grade II Grade III Grade IV Grade V Grade VI Grade VII Grade VIII Grade IX Grade X Grade XI Grade XII Post Graduate 1930. 1932 1934 1936 1937 25 31 46 36 54 29 34 ' 41 39 36 31 30 33 47 46 26 32 37 41 46 24 34 33 30 41 27 31 33 36 36 • : 17 28 35 32 41 19 26 25 37 29 Gain in 7 yrs. 29 15 20 17 9 24 10 198 246 283 298 329 131 25 19 31 30 17 21 19 28 9 15 22 24 7 18 12 13 0 4 3 5 35 27 27 22 10 10 18 15= 1 1 58 77 87 100 112 54 Grand Total 256 .323 370 398 441 183 MORE ROOM NEEDED Both elementary and high schools need more room. It is quite useless now to say that the building originally should have been larger. No one at that time would have found believers bad he prophesied such a rapid up -turn of school population as. actually has been experienced. There is now the necessity of providing without undue delay an addition to the existing accommodations. -One feasible and economical way of meeting the need would be an extension from one of the two wings .of the building. Such construction it is estimated would cost from $20,000 to $24,000 for four ordinary class rooms, two for elementary grades and two for high school. But the whole matter should be studied with care and the wisest. conclusion arrived at. It is recommended, therefore, that at the coming town • 1 4 meeting a committee of six citizens be appointed to act tivith the school committee •to study .in detail this problem and to present a definite plan for its solution at the .next annual town meeting.

Our school plant was . built primarily:as a modern high school. The large auxiliary features that vitally enter into present-day secondary edu- cation — the gyvmasium, assembly hall, library, shops, cafe- teria, athletic field — are all here and it needs only additional class rooms of a comparatively inexpensive type to provide . for the enlargement of the school from time to time for either or both of the high and elementary groups. • Another consideration'. is that to a very real.extent the high school gains in effectiveness as its size increases. • Broad- er opportunities for the student can be offered in the program of studies; more efficient assignment of teachers is possible; training in social and civic conduct through interesting activities outside specific studies can be more successfully carried out ; the intellectual stimulus• of the. competition of larger numbers in the class rooms is more certain; the clas- sification of the school and its accrediting for .certification privileges from the college entrance boards is surer. Therefore. whatever may be done with the Yarmouth elementary- grades in the future, one thing seems true. The present plant should serve as ".a high school for many years and it can take care of a much- greater number of students if provision is made for the elementary grades as their future numbers may require. 10 THE ARRANGEMENT WITH DENNIS While furnishing Dennis with high school privileges has added around a hundred pupils to our school population, the arrangement is of great value to each town. The advantages of a larger school, just mentioned, are made available to both towns and they would not be so avail- able if each town had its smaller separate school as formerly-. • For Dennis to only approximate the standard of the present high school in a smaller one of its own, it would cost much more than under existing arrangements.. If Yarmouth had only its own high school students and tried to somewhere nearly maintain the present opportuni- ties, the costs would rise sharply. The tuitions that Dennis pays, on the per pupil cost basis, reduce the net local taxa- tion cost for the high school by between twelve and thirteen thousands of dollars eaeh year. But most important of all, in two small schools, the youth in both towns,would be losers. They would miss the expe- rience of the more interesting extra curricular activities that are made more successful by the larger student body. The more enthusiastic and competitive experience in. athletics. music and"dramatics, are examples of these activities. They would miss the stimulus of the keener mental rivalry= of larger class room groups. And to some degree, at least, they would be less certain of certification to some of the, colleges and universities. • The friendly and effective arrangement for high school education made by the school committees representing their two towns, in operation since the fall of 1931, is a noteworthy example of two small communities combining to furnish superior school privileges to their young people. Over a period of more than six years there have been harmony and cooperation among 'the students from both towns, among their parents, and between the school officials. There has been on all sides an appreciation of the school advantages now available over those under former conditions. For their initiative and good sense in thus pointing the, way to int - proved high school administration among the smaller places of the State, our two towns have. received praise from 11< . high educational sources. -It _would be almost an educational disaster, to have present arrangements disturbed .in anything like the near -future. Finally, there is one striking fact that may .not at first be apparent to all our citizens. If all The Dennis pupils were withdrawn tomorrow there would be very little gain in rooms as very nearly all of existing classes would have to continue to function. In lockers, textbooks, paper, pencils, and other supplies, there would be a saving if the number of pupils was cut nearly in half, but in the more important and ex- pensive items of instructors and class rooms, there would be very little gain. . In high school organizations, the halving of the en- rollment does not mean the halving of the •number of classes, except in schools of great size. If the membership of an algebra class is twenty-one, the taking out of ten Dennis pupils would not save a teacher nor free a class room. The eleven left in the class would require a teacher and a room just the same.- This one example can be•inereased to thirty,- six hirty-six in our program set-up. Only in the required subjects of English, United States history and civics world there be a gaining of room and a saving of teachers, if the Dennis pupils were out of the picture. Since these subjects are only a small fraction of the whole curricular offering, . the loss to Yarmouth would far outweigh any gain; if the Dennis pupils were not here. Both towns stand to profit education- ally and financially by pulling together for some years. Both stand to lose by adopting any other course. .. TIIE BUDGET—: –=- - The story of our growth explains in good part the neces- sity.for asking for more money to run the school system. . With higher costs of materials added to the larger num- bers, our financial requests for 1938 are very conservative. A little more is asked for repairs because experience' shows that as the building becomes older deterioration here and there is quite certain to appear. The insurance this year is unusually heavy, more policies becoming due than in either of the two following Sears 12 There is added transportation cost owing to another bus for North Side pupils. This of course is another result of pupil increase. One of the objectives of high school is to teach in- dividuals to be more self -helpful while in school and more resourceful in extending and improving their education after leaving school. The effective use of library facilities is a real means to these ends, and the school library and librarian are now established features in the larger secondary schools. Although our own school is too small for a full time librarian. it can use the part-time services of such a helper. Therefore the opportunity offered by the public library here in South Yarmouth for a cooperative arrangement at a very low cost to the school department ought to be welcomed and taken advantage of. The amount this item would addto the budget would be more than compensated for by the additional teaching service thus made available.

Miss Dorothy L. Hand, who had French and Latin and who was a very satisfactory teacher in these branches, left in the summer to accept a business position in the text- book field. She has been succeeded by Miss Elsie M. Watters, a graduate of the University of Vermont and a teacher of several years' successful experience. Mrs. Lois J. Snow did not return as .vocal music super- visor after the summer vacation. She was getting very good results, and it is to be regretted that we were not able to have her services continued. In view of certain extra and -- urgent expenses not provided for in the budget, such as the additional North Side bus, it was decided to allow this po- sition of music supervisor to remain vacant during the fall for sake of the resulting saving. It is expected that the work 14 in this field will be resumed soon after the new year. One other change not yet in effect but to take place -nest month is in the art supervisorship. Mr. Arthur W. Mc- Murtry, who has been with us since 1934 and who has done excellent work, has accepted a more desirable position in Wethersfield Connecticut. In all oilier respects the staff remains the same. THE PRINCIPAL'S REPORT I submit herewith my fifth report as principal of the Yarmouth School.. Last June we graduated -29 students. These are now enrolled as follows: Schools of high education ___15 Employed 9 Married _ 1 Post graduates 2 Unaccounted for 2 Our most pressing and important problem of the past year has been to care for our increased numbers without sacrificing anything in the way of instruction. The faculty and the student body have cooperated splendidly -in this and .have borne the many inconveniences without complaint. The enrollment of subjects given below will indicate still further the seriousness of crowding in other subjects par- ticularly when it is remembered that, all but five of our six regular high school rooms are built to accommodate twenty- four, (the number generally agreed on by most experts as the best number to be handled in one class in most high school subjects).

The Cooperative Study of Secondary School Standards now being made will probably bring about national rather than regional rating of schools. While there is as yet no attempt at compulsory national rating, schools are being asked to do so voluntarily, and I believe we should be ready in case the national rating becomes the basis for future accreditation. The present study is based on an analysis of the school under several headings: e. g. Administration; Teaching 16 Staff; Course of Study; Extracurricular offering; School Library; Number, recency- and availability of books, and kind of librarian service; Playground, Lunch facilities, School publications, and School Morale. In the matter of program offering. it will soon become necessary to offer Solid Geometry and Trigonometry if we are to retain our standard of certification privileges to en- gineering schools. Thanks to the generosity of the South Yarmouth Library Board, we have been enjoying the services of a trained li- brarian- for the past three months. \Liss Sears has com- pleted the card catalog of our existing books at an estimated saving of $200. Through the library loan service, books amounting to well over $100 worth have been made available to pupils to supplement our own growing library. Since Miss Sears has been in charge. our current mazazine list has` been increased by a number of gifts. Modern conditions of school life make the services of a fully trained librarian vital to the full training of pupils. I sincerely- hope that it may be possible to retain Miss Sears as librarian. In the afternoon Miss Janice Willey has served most capably as assistant librarian. We are -happy to say that only $53.85 remains to- be paid on the projector equipment. All student activities are being reorganized under the •new constitution chartered by the school comnuttee last fall. and report concerning them will be submitted when the reorganization has been completed.. M. L. Altstetter, in reporting on the Cooperative study - of Secondary School Standards. gives a summary of close to 200 judgments on how many grades a pupil should complete. eight grades 9 nine grades 9 ten grades 10 eleven grades - 8 twelve grades 119 thirteen grades 4 fourteen grades 21 It is significant that 80% of the judgments -given- ex - 1 1 1 1 1 4 17 pected the child to complete twelve grades at least in order to fit in adequately with the complexities of our present day. In the eleventh grade, pupils are given a thorough study of the political and civic structure of our nation; in the twelfth grade they study the social and economic problems which confront the citizenship of this nation. For the future well- being of our community and our nation we should do all in our power to hold these boys and girls until they are graduated. I do not, however, wish to imply that there should be any compulsion in the matter after they. have passed the school .age. The school continues to enjoy .the A rating of the State Department and has full certification privileges of the Col- lege Entrance Certificate Board. In the general testing of the school last April it was found that the school stands well as compared with other schools throughout the nation. In closing, I wish to thank you and the Committee and the entire school staff for the hearty cooperation which has been accorded me during the past year. Cordially yours, . - ARTHUR E. JENNER, Principal SCHOOL PHYSICIAN'S REPORT The routine physical examinations have been made in all schools, and it may be stated that there is noted a gradual and constant improvement in physical conditions, etc. In- creasing efforts are being made in all schools to the end that the matter of correction of defects may be taken care of. More attention is being given to the matter of nourishment, etc., and it can be truthfully said that conditions in the schools of the County are excellent. Special attention is being -given to the use of the audiometer lately, with satisfactory results. A few cases of Anterior Poliomyelitis (Infantile Paral- ysis) . developed in certain places, causing the closing of some schools for a limited period. This is a rather terrifying disease in many ways, to parents especially, but it may be stated .that many of the cases this year were mild, with little after effect. Aside from this nothing unusual occurred in the way of communicable disease. All of the regular clinics have been held as usual, such things as diphtheria immunization, etc., now being ae- • cepted as routine matters. The usual and entirely satisfactory cooperation of all officials and_ organizations has been given, and the nurses have been very active and efficient. Efforts are continuing for new building construction where needed, although most towns now have very satisfactory facilities. • Every effort will be made to carry on the work of the coming year in a manner satisfactory to allconcerned. Respectfully, A. P. GOFF, M.D. County Health Officer SCHOOL NURSE'S REPORT FOR 1937 The health work at the Yarmouth School for the. year 1937 consisted , of routine physical examinations by the School Physician in order to detect and correct early signs of physical defects. The corrective clinics such as Eye and Dental were held and those needing attention were cared for. The Chadwick Clinic held for the detection and prevention of Tuberculosis was well attended. The following preven- tive clinics were held: Toxoid — for the prevention and con- trol of Diphtheria — Typhoid clinic (inoculations were given 'to the boys attending the Jamboree in Washington) and sev- eral vaccinations. The Pre-school clinic was held and phys- ical examinations made. The Pre-school age is a very important period of life due to'the fact that at this time the child's habits, good or bad, are formed. The bony structure grows rapidly and diseases of nutrition may produce deformities. The de- ciduous teeth are liable to decay unless cared for... Suscepti- bility to contagious diseases is high and exposure to such diseases is increased during this pre-school period.

There has been a large and steady increase during the past .decade, especially on the South Side of our town. Yarmouth is fortunately situated. Nature gave it a superb waterfront, stretching from Lewis Bay to Bass River, and this noble stream, the largest river of Cape Cod, is full of beauty, with its bays and shores, as yet unspoiled. Yes, our town, both on the North and South Sides, possesses an attractive atmos- phere of beauty. Many good and desirable people find this out and have become residents, many going to South Yar- mouth or Englewood and Colonial .Acres, etc. A great many more will come if they feel they can be protected. Alas, changes are taking place constantly, not allfor the best, and many structures have been and are being put up of no per- manent benefit to the community. Yarmc•uth is receiving the backwash of Hyannis. Our Board held three important meetings this month, attwo of which the members of the Board of Selectmen were present. The question of tourist camps was considered. Falmouth, Barnstable, Dennis, Chatham and Orleans have all adopted by vote at their town meetings regulations re- garding tourist camps. Our Board, after careful study, and after helpful suggestions from the Board of Selectmen, have prepared a very mild by-law regarding tourist camps, which will be in the warrant for the coming annual town meeting on February 14, 1939. It is a timely and much needed meas- ure. Let us all give it our support and see that it is adopted. As regards zoning, sentiment has changed somewhat since the zoning by-law was defeated at the annual town meeting in February, 1937, by the narrow margin of 19 votes, largely due to the fact• that many people who .did not attend the public- hearings were misinformed and needlessly al- armed. To -day some of our people think something should be done, but are not sure just what should be done. Other 94 far-seeing people believe that something should be,' done at the earliest moment possible, before any irretrievable damage can be done. On the beautiful elm -arched street of Yarmouth - port, one of. the most beautiful streets in New England, -there are to -day on the main street, within a distance of half a mile, nine houses or buildings for sale, any one of which may be sold and used for such commercial purposes as would greatly damage the value of neighboring properties. A Large filling station applied last autumn fora location at the corner of 'Willow Street and Main Street, Yarmouthport, and it was only after a public hearing and a long petition of 70 objectors that'the application for this location was with- drawn. Our Board will present an article in the warrant for the next February town meeting, asking for the modest sum of $500 with which to study zoning, etc. If this appropriation should be voted by the town, the Board will make a thorough and careful study, with public hearings, and then present at the annual- town meeting in February, 1940, a mild and well -considered zoning by-law. Nineteen hundred thirty-nine marks the 300th anniver- sary of the settlement of our town and it is fitting that our town should grant (as it undoubtedly will) the request of the committee in charge of the celebration to be held next summer, for a suitable appropriation. All of which is respectfully submitted. • THOMAS C. THACHER, Chairman Yarmouth, December 31, 1938. t 4 95 BARNSTABLE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT December 31, 1938 The following brief report of the work of the Barnstable County Health Department for the year 1938 is submitted. During the year comparatively few cases of communica- ble diseases were. reported. A certain amount of Scarlet Fever, usually of a mild' nature occurred, and considerable chickenpox in some localities. One case diagnosed as Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever was reported, and was in the Cape Cod Hospital for about six months. It is now discharged and recovering. Preventive measures so far as possible will be taken against this disease during the coming season. The regular societies including the Southeastern Asso- ciation of Boards of Health of Mass., Cape Cod Public Health Association,: Cape Cod Health Council etc., have held their meetings during the year as usual with a very good attendance. Dr. R. P. Maclinight, State District Health Officer, re- signed during the year and his place was taken by Dr. Harold Stevens, formerly Health Officer of the Berkshire district. Considerable apprehension was of course aroused by the storm which struck this part of the Country, but no particular health problems were caused in this section. All sections af- . fected were watched, water supplies cholorinated where thought necessary, etc. The Red Cross was active in its work and gave assistance wherever needed. An addition to the Barnstable County Sanatorium is being built, and will be in use shortly. This hospital is a most efficient institution, and assists in health work at all times. It might be mentioned that an award .1,. meritorious achievement was given the Barnstable County Health De- partment, by the Chamber of Commerce of U. S., cooperating with the American Public Health Association. The Health Officer has given talks at various places in the County as usual, and gave a Broadcast at the request .of the Women's Clubs. Considerable interest has been taken recently in the care x 1 M f• it 96 of Premature Infants, the center for this activity being at the Cape Cod Hospital. This hospital is active in all matters pertaining to health and medicine, and has a high standing among the Hospitals of the Country. All clinics, including diphtheria prevention, tuberculosis, crippled children, and cancer have been conducted as usual by the regular officials and nurses. • The Sanitary Inspectors, Secretary, Nurses and all others have carried on their work in a most satisfactory manner, and the cooperation of all officials including Federal, State, Coun- ty, and Town has been complete and satisfactory. • The ;gapers of the Com,. -47 have at all times helped in every way in making public matters pertaining to health work, etc., and our thanks are extended to all of the above men- tioned, and to all citizens of the County who make efficient and satisfactory work in a Health Department possible: .Respectfully, A. P. GOFF, M. D. County Health Officer • 97. WATER DEPARTMENT REPORT Yarmouth, :Bass., January 11, 1939 To the Board of Selectmen, Yarmouth, Mass.

It was found necessary to replace worn out wires that controlled the Fire Siren, and because of this and the fact that Rogers Garage, which contained the controls of the siren was closed and kept locked, it was deemed advisable to move the siren onto Town property. This involved an expenditure of $203.00. -.The spending of this sum out of the 1938 budget is the reason for the budget being overdrawn. Our Reo Hose Truck which is also _used for forest fires has outlived its life and has to be replaced. The firemen of this Company bought this truck in 1932 with their own money and built it into a fire fighting unit themselves. The .only large expense to the Town being $25.- for thewater tank. Tl1is truck had been driven over 94,000 miles before we got it and has had constant service since. So now that old age has crept over its frame we are intending to retire it with regret. With the thought of replacing the Reo in mind the fire- men got busy and earned $865.- for this purpose. $425.- of 425:of this amount has been used to buy a 1937 1% ton Ford Chassis. We plan to mount a pump" under the cab and to mount a 500 to 600 gallon tank for water built as part of the body. Each year the importance of having water available at the scene of the fire is becoming more evident, whether house or forest fire. We have $440.- toward the purchase of the midship pump, which is $30.- shy of the necessary amount needed. We also need money for the tank and body, reels, etc. In order to obtain this money we are asking the citizens of the Town 101 through an article in the Town warrant to raise the same amount that the firemen did, namely $865.- in order that we may complete the truck. This amount will not completely finish the job, but will put it in service and the firemen will be encouraged to earn more money for this purpose. U. FREDERICK STOBBART Chief Engineman Co.

Several meetings cif "this joint committee were held and a careful study was made of existing conditions in the school. As a result of this study the committee voted unanimously as recognizing an overcrowded condition. For the freshman class for home room accommodations there are 49 seats and 66 in the class, an excess over normal accommodations of 17. For the sophomore class there are proper accommodations for 24. only, with a class of 58, an excess of 34 pupils for whom makeshift arrangements have to be made. . Grade eight, with a membership of 36 pupils, has to use the seventh grade room which is of full size, and the seventh grade which fortunately enrolls but 29 uses the under -sized room formerly used by the eighth grade. The laboratory has normal accommodations for 24 pupils and there are 34 in the biology class that has to use this room. l3ecause of the impossibility of crowding in more chairs, 5 pupils had to be denied the opportunity of taking this work in biology. If another classroom were available, the biology group could be divided into two sections, one for civic bi- ology which is informational arid the other laboratory biology which is necessary for some of the college entrance require- ments. Like most of the high school recitation rooms the book- keeping room is designed to accommodate 24 and there are now 28 in the class. The typewriting room has a normal capacity of 24. Altogether about 15 pupils have been unable to take typewriting although desirous of doing so, this on account of the lack of room. Chemistry .held in the laboratory accommodating 24, 1 110 has 29 pupils, an excess.of 5. The algebra class has 31 or 7 in excess of the room's capacity. Health class is being taught in the auditorium for lack of room elsewhere. Also, junior high school sewing class is held in the hall outside of the auditorium for the same reason. The Selectmen's room, with 9 first grade and 9 second grade, is filled to its capacity. It lacks space for activities outside seats and tables. It is a makeshift for elementar' pupils. This room should be used for very small high school classes. In consideration of the above • existing conditions, the only apparent•remedy would seem to be the building of four additional class rooms. From an unofficial estimate the approximate cost of build- ing four class rooms would be $30,000.00, which would include the necessary equipment. Winthrop V. Wilbur 'Joseph B. Daggett Helen M.

A brief up-to-date summary follows: In 1930 when the new building was planned, the ele- mentary and high school pupils of Yarmouth and the 7 high school pupils of Dennis totaled The building was designed to accommodate Today the school enrolls Overload In the former office of the Selectmen, much smaller than a regular -sized classroom, last year we had 'an overflow from the first grade. This year we have an overflow from both first • and second grades, 18 in all. There is room for no more over- flowing of the elementary children. If next September 50 or more children enter the first grade, as happened this fall of 1938 and also in 1937, the public must be prepared for a part-time arrangement for the youngest . grades. In the fourth grade there are 47 pupils in a room in- tended for 35, an excess of 12 pupils. This situation cannot be for the best interests of the children in terms ofteaching results. Also such conditions if continued very long, I be- lieve, will meet the disapproval of the State Building In- spector. -Otherelementary grade rooms are filled beyond their normal seating capacity, but not so seriously as in the fourth grade. To overcome the problem of congestion in both elemen- tary and high school, the most feasible solution would seem to be an addition of four classrooms. School enrollments from 1930 to 1938, at two year inter- vals, are as follows: 328, 564 118 Elementary high Total Elementary High Average gain per '30 '32 '34 '36 '38 Gain year 198 246 283 298 328 140 130 172 181 195 226 96 328 418 464 493 564 1937 329 214 543 THE TEACHING STAFF 236 1938 338 226 564 29.5 Gain 9 iZ 21 Early in the calendar year, Mr. Arthur W. McMurtry, our art supervisor, resigned to accept a better position in 8 Weathersfield, Connecticut, and Miss Genevieve Kersulis was selected to succeed him. Like her immediate predecessor, and also like Mr. Adams whom Mr. McMurtry followed, Miss Ker- sulis is a graduate of the Massachusetts Art School, teachers' - preparatory section, with a bachelor's degree in education. Mr. Ronald G. Billings, teacher of junior mathematics. at the close of the school year resigned to accept a more attractive salary in Longmeadow, Mass. He had served us well for two years and his going was a loss to the school and the community in which his family lived. Mr. William Covell of Hyannis was appointed to the vacany. He gradu- ated from the State Teachers' College at Hyannis last June With an excellent record and is showing good promise as a young instructor. Soon after the fall term began,. Miss Dorothy C. Tobey, teacher of the sixth grade, had an opportunity to take a po- sition nearby her home town where she has an invalid mother, and so resigned. Miss Barbara S. Polsey, a graduate of Bridgewater Teachers' College, '38, has been substituting in this grade for the rest of the term. Faced with a limited appropriation, there was no author- ization of the employment of a vocal music supervisor during this year, except for the nine weeks before graduation. This small expense was permitted by the School Committee as a help to the chorus work in graduation exercises. If our school is to Continue to offer work in this subject comparative to thatoffered by other public schools, this. teaching service should be restored in full. Likewise, no additional teacher was hired for the high ' school. Had an additional teacher been available in Septem- ber it would have made unnecessary the lengthening of the school day or the shortening of the recitation periods, even though some more classes .might have bad to be held in the auditorium or on the auditorium stage. It is not a step in the right direction to shorten periods or reduce laboratory and shop periods, if the highest standards are to be main- tained. Insufficiency of teaching service merely adds one more difficulty to crowded conditions. From 1932 to 1938, the school enrollment increased nearly 23% while the in- crease in the teaching staff increased only nearly 13%, show - 41, 9 ing that teaching service has .not kept pace with school pop- ulation growth. REPAIRS Besides repairs of an ordinary nature there was an un- usual outlay last summer when the health authorities in- sisted on a new cement floor being laid in the boys' locker and shower room so that the entire floor surface could be flushed out thoroughly and • regularly and drained off satis- factorily. This was not easily done with the old flooring and became more and more difficult as the number of boys using the room increased, and it was more difficult to keep the place in first class sanitary condition. MORE TRANSPORTATION This fall parents of children living in the region between the upper Bass River bridge and the golf links, on or near the South Dennis Road, petitioned the School Committee and the State Department of Education for transportation ac- commodations, since they lived over two miles from the school and over one mile from the nearest bus route. Lack of funds prevented any favorable action this autumn, but arrangements have been made to care for this situation beginning with the new year. This of course makes a new demand on the budget for 1939. THE BUDGET Items GENERAL CONTROL Salaries (Supt. & Secy.)

During the past school year it had receipts of $3337:7, expenses $5249.21, and a balance of $88.54. The school continues to maintain its A rating with the State Department of Education and full certification privileges of the New England College Entrance Certificate Board. whose eertifie.ates are accepted wherever certificates are re- quired. Recently the Department of Secondary *School Principals has been conducting a nation-wide survey to es- tablish proper bases for accrediting schools: From their pre- liminary results it would seem that if a school were to depend on one single test to indicate its efficiency that test would be a vocabulary test. In the twenty-seventh Nationwide Scholarship test given the week of January 11, 1938, in .schools located in 40 different states, Yarmouth made -the following showing in the vocabulary test. $587 84 National High'. Grade 7 109 Grade 8 118 Grade 9 128 Grade 10 128' Grade 11 . 136 Grade 12 133 13 Yarniout ' High 108 94 115 128 128 132 National Median 53 62 71 80 89 97 Yarmouth Median 55 59 55 85 85 100 In a survey of school 'libraries conducted by the Coop- erative Study of Secondary School Standards itwas found that libraries in high schools of our size have an average num- ber of 27.8 periodicalsincluding weekly newspapers. Yar- mouth, has 11, most of which are given us by interested peo- ple. The work of the library is becoming increasingly im- portant in the high school. We appreciate very much the excellent work :being done by Miss Sears in the school li- brary. Library habits inculcated in high school hold the greatest promise for continued adult self -education par- ticularly for that group of our boys and girls who do not go on to college. And for those who go to college, it becomes increasingly necessary for them to learn to use the library efficiently if they are to be successful for the more modern techniques of teaching make more and more use of library reference. The increase in our student body has necessitated more divisions in some classes. For instance, we used to have four English classes in grades 9-12. We now have 11. The most desirable way of handling this problem would have been to use another teacher. Two other plans were submitted last April. Plan number one called for an extension of one daily forty -minute activities period into a full hour teaching period like that of the other five. This made it possible for each teacher to teach six classes instead of five. Thesecond plan called for no increase in the length of the day but for a decrease in the length of the teaching periods from 60 min- utes to 45 minutes. This second plan has certain drawbacks—all shop and laboratory periods must be double periods. It squeezes Build- 14 ing Construction out of the program and necessitates abolish- ing the make-up period Which was helpful particularly to the slow pupil. While there was some dissatisfaction with the longer day, there seems even more with this curtailment of educational offerings, and I sincerely hope that .we may soon be restored•to our original schedule by an increase in teaching service. It is likewise regrettable that we continue to be without a vocal supervisor. Music is such an important part in the lives of children that it seems. decidedly unfair that they should be denied the opportunity to develop this expressive side of their nature. Cannot something be done so that as much time is given to vocal music as we give to drawing? The school wishes to thank the Yarmouth Parent-Teacher Association for its generosity in raising the necessary funds to send our orchestra students to the New England School Music Festival at New London.. We wish also to thank the Mother's Club and the South Yarmouth Woman's Club for gifts to the Projector' Fund and Dr. Frank S. Churchill for his gift of books to the school library. In conclusion I wish to thank you and the school staff for the splendid cooperation I have been given during the past school year. ARTHUR: E. JENNER, .Principal ' SCHOOL PHYSICIAN'S REPORT During the past year the schools have been very little interfered with by communicable disease. Such cases of scar- let fever for example as have occurred have been of a mild nature, and other diseases have been mild also. All of the regular clinics have been carried on by the nurses and others, and are increasing in efficiency from year to year. All of the regular physical examinations have of course been made and such other examinations as necessary. The construction of school buildings is being continued and all towns are now pretty well cared for or will be. during the coming year. The cooperation of all officials and organizations has been ]a iX very satisfactory and effiicenta:and all of the nurses have made every effort to see that the work is carried on properly. Again this year it is thought it may be truthfully stated that conditions in the schools in the County are excellent and improving from year to year. Every effort will be made to the end that this condition may continue. All superintendents, school committees, and teachers take a very real interest in health work. The summer course for teachers in "Health Education", held at the State Teachers' College, was well attended and successful. Respectfully, A. P. GOFF, M. D. County Health Officer • SCHOOL NURSE'S REPORT -The content of a school visit varies and is governed by the requirements evident in the community of which the school system is an integral part. Preventive measures that will rule out illness with resulting loss of school work is the ideal to which a school nursing service aspires. Treatment of ail- ments and defects already present are referred to the parents for their decision as to what can be done to remedy the situa- tion. The nurse stands ready to help and advise in every way she can but the final decision must come from the parent. School authorities and teachers in the Yarmouth school have given us their utmostin cooperation in health matters, forthis we are most grateful: - The statistical summary of our year's work follows: School visits Inspections Sanitary Classroom Exclusions Weighings Hearing test with Audiometer 88 . 1017 77 15 807 198 �l! _I 16 Vision test by Nurse Consultations Teachers Pupils Parents Superintendent of schools School Physician Home visits No. homes No. children Annual Health Examinations by School Physician Vaccinations by School Physician Classroom talks _ First-aid treatments Clinics: Toxoid Attendance Eye Attendance Pre-school Attendance Dental Attabdance Chadwick (chest) Attendance Chest X-rays _ — Mental kttendance 17 83 REPORT :OF SUPERVISOR OF ATTENDANCE 204 For the School Term Ending December 31, 1.938 10 37 14 6 72 89 545 1 7 45 4 35 1 14 1 28 8 days 124 132 32 1 15 Respectfully submitted, District Nursing Association Number of cases investigated Truancy cases Personal sickness Stubborn Too late for bus Left town Returned to school ADA M.
