KNOWLES Town Clerk i REPORT of YARMOUTH PLANNING BOARD • In accordance with the Massachusetts General Laws, the annual report of the Yarmouth Planning Board is` herewith presented. The report of this Board of December 31r 1938, states, "Nineteen hundred thirty-nine marks the 300th anniversary of the settlement of .our town and it is fitting that our town should grant the request of the committee in charge of the celebration to be held next summer, for a suitable appropria- tion." Our citizens at our last annual town meeting made promptly this appropriation, providing the financial means for this celebration, which was the most important event in Yarmouth the past year. The members of the committee in charge, and all others who helped, deserve the hearty thanks of the citizens of Yarmouth. It will go down in the annals of our town as a glorious celebration, full of dignity and beauty, and one never to be forgotten. At our annual town meeting on February 14, 1939, Ar- ticle 6, entitled "An Ordinance Regulating Auto -Trailer, Tourist Camp and Park Sites" was adopted by the vote of 174 to 26. This ordinance was a mild one presented by our Planning Board after a thorough investigation of what had been done by certain other Cape towns. There were some citizens who at first failed to see the necessity for any regu- lation, but finally unprejudiced reflection on their part on changed conditions, and careful study of what had been done elsewhere, led thein to take a broader view, and .the article was adopted. The town at the same meeting voted for Article 7, "To see if the Town will vote to raise and appropriate the sum of $500 for the work of the Planning Board." The amount asked was reduced to $250. Acting in accordance with this vote, our Board has given careful study to the- whole matter. It was deemQd wise to take as a basis the zoning by-law which was defeated in our annual town meeting of 1937 by the narrow margin of 19 votes. • Our Board was fortunate to have the services this year of Arthur C. Comey, State Consultant for the Commonwealth 87 of Massachusetts. Our Board of Selectmen gave us valuable suggestions and advice. After many meetings, our Board unanimously voted to submit a zoning by-law, which those who read it can see approaches very closely the zoning by- law presented at the annual town meeting of 1937. A: public hearing was held, in accordance with the State Law and duly advertised for three weeks in the Yarmouth Register, and twice in the Cape Cod Standard -Times. Mr. Corney and all the members of the Planning Board were present at this well attended hearing, held in the Yarmouth Town Office hall, South Yarmouth, on December 6, when the by-law was read, discussed and fully explained. . About 14 years ago some far-seeing people in certain Cape towns saw the need of zoning. Planning Boardswereestab- lished in Falmouth and Barnstable, and in 1926 Yarmouth established a Planning Board. About this time Falmouth and Barnstable adopted zoning. This was a wise step and a benefit, not an injury, to these two towns, for today Fal- mouth and Barnstable lead all the other Cape towns in val- uation and population. In 1927 a zoning by-law was pre- sented at our Yarmouth town meeting but this was over- whelmingly defeated. It was a cumbersome and drastic bill, entirely different from the mild, simple and very brief by- law presented by our Board this year. The reasons why our town should adopt zoning are obvious. Yarmouth is fortunately situated, with a superb waterfront from Lewis Bay to Bass River, .and this stream, with its bays and shores as yet unspoiled, is a thing of beauty. Yes, our town, both on the North and South sides, possesses an attractive atmosphere of beauty. Many good and desirable people have found this out and have become citizens, some going to South Yarmouth or Englewood and Colonial Acres, and elsewhere. A great many more will come if they feel they can be protected by some suitable zoning by-law. We all know that changes, not all for the best, are constantly taking place. Structures have been put up, and are being put up, of no permanent benefit to the community. Large tracts of land are coming on .the market which may at any time be bought and used for such commercial pur- -6 poses as will injure and not benefit the neighboring proper- ties. Yarmouth is close. to the border line of Hyannis. Barnstable,' as we all. know, is protected and Yarmouth is not. Yarmouth suffers. On the North Side, we can also see the red flag of danger. On the elm -arched street of Yarmouth Port, one of the most beautiful streets in all New England, there are today, within• the distance of half a mile, eight buildings for sale, any one of which might be sold and used for such commercial pur- poses urposes as would greatly damage the value of neighboring property. Determined efforts were made last year, and even this very month, to .use one of these building sites for a. large filling station. Our Board promised in the last annual report of Decem- ber 31, 1938, that if the town should vote an appropriation as asked, "Our Board will make a thorough and careful study and then present at the annual town meeting in Feb- ruary, 1940, a mild and well=considered zoning by-law." Our Board has done its duty to the best of its ability. Our Board presents a mild and well -considered zoning by-law, a bill drawn up to benefit and protect the interest of all the citizens. We believe it to be one of the most important measures to come before our town. We hope and believe that it will receive the support it deserves. All of which is respectfully submitted. • THOMAS C: THACHER, Chairman. Yarmouth, December 30, 1939. 89 REPORT OF TERCENTENARY COMMITTEE Yarmouth Port, Mass. December 21, 1939. Mr. Charles R. Bassett, Chairman, Board of Selectmen, South Yarmouth, Massachusetts. Dear Mr. Bassett, As Chairman of the Committee for the 300th Celebra- tion of the Incorporation of the Town of Yarmouth, I make my final report. On February 9, 1937, Article 16, "To see if the Town will vote to appoint a committee to report at the next annual Town Meeting on plans for the 300th anniversary of the Town, which occurs in 1939", it was voted that the Town Moderator, Mr. Thomas S. Crowell, be authorized to appoint this committee. After Town Meeting Mr. Crowell appointed the following committee: Joshua E. Howes John Simpkins . Miss Hannah A. Knowles Louis B. Thacker Robert M. Kelley Mrs. Frank B. Homer William A. Marchant This same committee was made a permanent committee for the celebration at the Town Meeting, February 8, 1938. At the Town Meeting, February 14, 1939, Article 8, "To see if the Town will vote to raise and appropriate a sum of money of $2,500.00'to defray the expenses of the Three Hun- dredth Anniversary Celebration of its incorporation, this appropriation to be spent under the authority of the gen- eral committee appointed at the last annual town meeting, held on February 8, 1938". This article was duly passed as read, and the General Committee at its first meeting 90 thereafter appointed July 31st and August 2nd; 1939, as the days for the celebration. Let me mention the events in their order: Union re- ligious services at the Congregational Church, North Side, July 30th, at 3:30; morning meeting at the Congregational Church, North Side, August 2nd, at 10:30; that afternoon open house in Yarmouth Port, Yarmouth and South Yar- mouth ; river sports at Bass River, under the auspices of the Bass River Yacht Club; the evening celebration at South Yarmouth, consisting of band conceit on Collins Field, fol- lowed by river fete and illumination and fireworks from the banks of Bass River. — It is not my purpose to go over these events in detail,. for they were duly recorded in the Yarmouth Register, and the daily press, and everyone • in town was either present at one or more of these events or read of them or was told about them in person. Let me summarize the impression made by our pro- gram,—first, ro- gram: first, all sensed the fine religious tone of the Sunday afternoon services and the singing of the united church choirs; also the .extreme dignity of the Wednesday morning meeting, the scholarly addresses, the superb singing by the Cape Cod Choral- Society. That afternoon came the cor- diality of Open House and the river sports, filling the young and even the old with thrills. In the still evening air, with a brilliant moon, eager throngs under the rays of uncounted colored electric lights, 'listened to the best band concert ever held on the Cape, fol- lowed by the river fete, illumination and fireworks. The Cape has never seen anything to equal the sheer beauty of the river illumination. Eight thousand people were there that evening and the day closed without an accident. Our celebration closed with the almost universal feel- ing that the events were worthy of the best tradition& of our town. Wisely we limited our celebration to these two days. Events were few but each one was thought out with careful • 91 detail and executed as near 'perfection as possible within the limits of our budget. Fortunately our anniversary came before the more elaborate celebration of Barnstable, and Sandwich and in consequence we, of Yarmouth, could watch. our neighbors at our ease and without envy. The Treasurer of our committee, Mr. Joshua E. Howes, asks me to report that the committee spent $2,433.21, out of the appropriation of $2,500.00, leaving an unexpended bal- ance of $66.79. All the bills were presented to the Town Treasurer, Mr. Allen H. Knowles, with the proper. vouchers. I am, Yours sincerely, LOUIS B. THACHER Chairman .3 BARNSTABLE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT December, 1939 A brief report of the work of the Barnstable County -- Health Department is submitted for the year 1939. Communicable diseases in the County have been as .a rule exceptionally mild. The Department is glad to report that Anterior Poliomyelitis (infantile paralysis) for example has not occurred in the County for some time. One ease of typhoid from out of state was reported, and returned home recovered. No other cases occurred. The state campaign for collecting mosquito specimens was aided by the Health Department as far as possible and efforts appeared to be successful. These collections were made in connection with the question of equine encephalitis and its possible transmission to man. The Southeastern Association of Boards of Health of Massachusetts, Cape Cod Public Health Association, Cape Cod Health Council, and Cape Cod Health Bureau Associa- tion, etc., have held their meetings during the year as usual with a very good attendance. During the year State Health Officials have spoken on matters `concerning their work at various meetings .in the County as usual. The addition to the Barnstable County Sanatorium was dedicated during the year and this building greatly increases the usefulness' of this most efficient institution. Another award for meritorious achievement was given the Barnstable County Health Department by the Chamber of Commerce of 13. S. and the American Public Health As- sociation, as was the .case also last year, as mentioned in that report. It is believed that all towns now have baskets available for the care and transportation of premature infants. Con- siderable attention has been given to this matter lately. . 0. 93 All the regular clinics liave been held including Diph- theria Prevention, Cancer, Tuberculosis, Dental and Crip- pled Children. The cooperation of all federal, state, county and town officials has been very complete and all employees of the County Health Department, Sanitary Inspectors, Secretary, Nurses and all others have carried on their work in an effici- ent manner.• - Articles have been published in the papers of the Coun- ty regularly and the cooperation of all these periodicals is very much appreciated. It is believed that the result of the work of the County Health Department has been quite sat- isfactory during the year and every effort will be made to make the coming year a successful one. Our thanks, are extended to all officials and citizens whose cooperation has made this result possible. Respectfully A. P. GOFF, M. D.

Present number of Water Services 200 Services vacant 10 Gallons of water pumped 37 147 950 Stock on hand, estimated value $778 00 Outstanding accounts 649 44 House services connected but not turned on 2 Gallons pumped to the Barnstable Fire District 13 326 000 Cash received from the Barnstable Fire District from October 1, 1938, to October 1, 1939 $1 409 22 Payment on Bond Indebtedness 500 00 Nine new services were installed The shortage in the former water. collector's accounts up to December 31; 1939, amounted to $1,018.85. This amount less a credit due the former collector of $67.50 and an audit charge of $14.10 made a total amount due the town of $937.25. On advice of the Town Counsel the Selectmen settled with the bonding company for $929.75 in order to clear the books in 1939. A check for $929.75 has been received by the treasurt'r of the town for this claim. A check-up on the sudden heavy demand for water during the past summer was made by the commissioners and it was found that due to the long dry summer the sillcock privileges had been taken advantage of, the heaviest drain on this privilege being the water takers who left lawn sprink- lers going twenty-four hours of the day. In order to correct this condition the water commissioners feel that the proper solution is to meter all services. A start to meter all services was made in 1937 at which time twelve meters Were installed. At the present time there are thirteen meters on hand ready to be installed and it is planned to purchase and install twen- ty-five more in 1940. The water commissioners have arranged their 1940 bud- • I' 95 • get so as to include all water department expenses, including the bond payment., interest on bond and operating expenses. In previous years it has been the custom for the town to raise and appropriate the yearly payment of the bond under a separate account known as maturing. notes and to appro- priate for the use of the water department, as listed in the annual estimated budgets of the water department, a sum known as Hydrant Rental. In the 1940 water department budget these two separate appropriations have been com- bined. For comparison, last ,year, 1939, the water department was able to pay *500.00 on the yearly bond indebtedness of $4,000.00. This left a balance of $3,500.00 to be raised by the town on the bond. Also last year, 1939, the department had as part of its income a sum of *2,500.00 called Hydrant Rental which also was raised by the Town. Together these' two items made a sum of *6,000.00 raised by direct taxation. In the 1940 water department budget after including the bond payment of- $4,000.00 the water department is ask- ing.the Town to appropriate the sum of $2,015.03, a reduc- tion in 1940 over last year of *3,984.97. The worn out range oil burner used in the pumping station furnace was replaced with a Gould Automatic Oil Burner at a total cost of $124.00. It was the intention of the water department to repair the paint covering on the elevated tank by touching up the rust spots and scaling and patching the paint blisters but when the estimated cost of doing this amounted to $200.00 and a complete painting job including priming the injured plates could be had for $100.00 more, it was considered bet- ter business to. have a complete paint job done at a cost of $300.00. A reduction has been made in the salary of the super- intendent, from *30.00 to $28.00 per week and his substi- tute, who works in the superintendent's place during his vacation or absence, from $30.00 to $25.00 per week. Frank L. Baker was appointed superintendent of the water department. April 3, 1939, to fill the vacancy incurred. by the resignation of Frank L. Whitehead. • PROIMIENEEMEN.aLOIM4 1,1.A.d.6.1!. 96 FINANCIAL STATEMENT Appropriations: Balance on hand January 1, 1939 $ . 905 37 .; Hydrant rental 2 500.00 Receipts from water rates and ser- vices 6 688 02, Total Amount Expended: Office supplies Power and lights Superintendent's salary Superintendent's substitute Labor Pumping Station supplies Construction supplies • Collector's salary Interest on bond indebtedness Water Commissioners' salaries Technical service Truck supplies.

The estimates on losses and savings. to property are based entirely on fires in Yar...i;;nth alone and do not include any property which may have been lost or saved by our four out of town calls. • I feel that your board and the townspeople might like to know just what equipment this company has to 'work with and am listing it for that purpose. We have the Maxim triple -combination pumper which with its booster line and some twelve hundred feet of hose is used on house fires only. To supplement this piece we have the ladder trailer with three ladders of lengths capable of reaching any build- ing within our district. The Ford used to carry this trailer also contains our inhalator and other first aid equipment. The third piece is the forest pumper. This piece is a Ford truck equipped with a two hundred gallon cross frame pump which can be used in combination with the Maxim. On this machine we carry two live reels each with a capacity of three hundred feet of booster line and one thousand feet of forest hose. We are spending approximately two hundred and fifty dollars on this apparatus for equipment such as spot lights, a deck to carry coats, boots, and brackets for our hand ex- tinguishers. This money has been raised by our own activi- ties and carefully spent after due consideration at our com- pany meetings. 11 100 We hope to be able to add a portable pump to our out- fit.. this year and have placed an estimate in the .budget to cover This pump::would add greatly to our efficiency at forest fires where_we cannot reach a water supply with our pumper.

The surety bonds of the oixeisls required by law to fur- nish them were examined and found to be in proper form_ 134 The books and accounts of the water collector were examined and checked. The charges for water rates and services outstanding at the time of the previous examina- tion were audited, and all subsequent charges were verified. The recorded collections were compared with the commit- ment books, the payments to the treasurer were proved, and the outstanding -accounts were listed. In order to verify the outstanding water .accounts as listed, notices were sent to all persons whose names ap- peared on the books as owing money to the town for water charges. A large number of replies werereceived from persons who claimed that their accounts had been paid. All these claims were investigated, and many water -takers sub- stantiated their claims by presenting sufficient proof of pay- ment of water rates and services which had not been entered on the cash book of the water collector or posted to the com- mitment book kept by the water commissioners. The final reconciliation of, the water rates and services accounts as of April 4, 1939, disclosed a cash shortage in the accounts of Frank L. Whitehead, Water Collector, of $931.35. Several additional claims have been made that water accounts are paid but evidence of payment had not been produced at the completion of the audit. Any claims which may subsequently be proved as having been paid and not entered on the water collector's cash book should be added to the cash shortage previously mentioned, and the new water collector, to whom the outstanding accounts were re- committed, should be credited with the amounts found to have been paid to the former collector. It is recommended that consideration be given to the advisability of passing a by-law, in accordance with Section 38A, Chapter 41, General Laws, whereby the collector of taxes would collect, under the title of town collector, _all accounts due the town, including those of the water depart- ment. - In addition to the accounts mentioned, the records of all other departments collecting money for the town or ren- dering bills for .collection were examined and checked in detail. -135 Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, are tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's and of the collector's cash, summaries of the tax, assessment, tax title, departmental, and water accounts, as well as tables showing the condition and transactions of the several trust funds. • While engaged in making the audit; cooperation was re- ceived from all town officials, for which, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appreciation.

C: R. STACY Secretary 6 REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS To the School Committee of Yarmouth, Mass. Gentlemen: Herewith is presented the forty-eighth report in' the series of annual reports by the Union* Superintendent of Schools.

Our remarkable growth in school population since the new building was opened has been emphasized in previous reports. A special committee appointed by the annual town meeting of 1938 made its investigation and study and at the annual' town meeting last February reported the need of an addition to the building. Mitt ireII .. . +wrr104a0..- 7. The prime factors in the educational process are first, good teaching service, and second, good schoolroom accom- modations. By good teaching service is .meant well-educated and professionally trained teachers with a fair teaching load judged by modern standards. By good accommodations is meant a sufficient number of classrooms of sufficient size and sufficient equipment to meet first-rate standards. We cannot do well by our children when we have to put forty-seven pupils in a classroom designed for not more than thirty-five, as is the case of our fourth grade. Nor can one teacher with that number give to those individual pupils an educational opportunity equal to that which the teacher with a normal-sized class can provide. Neither can first-class high school standards be main- tained when we have thirty-two bookkeeping students work- ing in a room intended for a maximum of twenty-four; nor when we :have to put thirty-seven general science pupils in a laboratory built for only twenty-four. If the high quality of school housing arrangements which marked our first few years in the new consolidated building is not to slip back into a poor mediocrity, or worse, some additional rooms are needed in the nearest possible future. • TEACHING STAFF Four of our teachers resigned last summer. Miss Mary R. Ruggles, who has served with great faithfulness and indus- try since 1922, has retired from active school work. Miss Elinor W. Goodspeed and Miss Erma_ J. Ramsdell, both of whom joined our faculty when the new school opened in 1931, resigned on account of marriage. Both were . con- _ scientious and competent teachers, well liked and appreciated by their students and fellow workers. Mr. Edward Darling, who has taught English in the high school since 1934, accepted a more attractive and remuner- ative position in Belmont, Mass. These new teachers are filling the vacancies: 8 Miss Margaret Waterman, who is a graduate of. the • Connecticut College for Women. She also has received a degree of B.S.Ed. from the Hyannis State Teachers College and has taken courses in the American Academy of Dra- matic Arts, New York City. She teaches English and dra- matics. This is her first regular teaching position. Miss Erdine Newhall, who is a graduate of the Posse - Nissen School, with a degree from the Hyannis State Teach- ers College last June. Her work is in physical education for girls and in social studies. Miss Jean White,who graduated from the State Teach- ers College at Framingham in 1939. She has classes in cloth- ing and in social studies. Robert' S. Playfair, who is a graduate of Harvard, 1936. He has had teaching experience and is an author of some success. His work is high school English. We are still without a teacher of vocal music and this phase of school wofk, particularly in the junior and senior high school, is suffering. Since this is a part time task and since there is heavy over -loading in the middle grades, the school committee plans to employ a teacher who will be qual- ified to take on the choral work and other high school music and who will devote the balance of her time to assisting in the elementary grade where the burden is the greatest. Unlike most towns . and cities, Yarmouth has no definite salary schedule in effect for teachers, I recommend that such a schedule be adopted by the school committee after proper and adequate study of all the factors that make up a fair scale. INFORMATION ON THE BUDGET The item of administrative expense, or "General Con- trol" as it is classified in the State bookkeeping system. is more than last year. This is made necessary by the fact that the Union Committees (Brewster, Dennis and Yarmouth) has reapportioned the expenses of the superintendency as a result of Brewster sending its high school pupils to the new building in Orleans. As against conditions prevailing at the time 9 of the last allotment, following the transfer of Dennis high school pupils to Yarmouth, Brewster now has fewer teachers and Yarmouth a few more, Dennis remaining practically the same. Accordingly, Yarmouth now pays five percent more and Brewster five percent less. �,� . Two possibilities always face the school department, even up to the last days of the fall term. .A spell of un- usually cold weather may push up fuel costs or a case of expensive repairs may 'arise .unexpectedly with regard to the plumbing, or heating or electrical or sewerage system. For these reasons the items of fuel and repairs ought not to be cut too fine, and any balance en hand cannot ordinarily be spent at the last moment. For the year now ending, the amount allowed- by the finance committee for oil ($2,000) was insufficient. The .amount allowed for repairs ($600) carried us thru with a balance ($84.61) only because the allotment was not enough to warrant certain desirable repairs during the. summer vacation. Among things waiting to be done are these: Repainting outside window sashes and trim particu- larly on southeast side, repainting • elementary classrooms and toilet rooms, refinishing laboratory table tops, renewing auditorium window shades in opaque material suitable for moving picture showing, replacement of manual training bench tops. These benches were originally given t� the schools by Mrs. Agassiz and now after over thirty years of use must be renovated. This done they will serve for an- other long period. The inside telephone system needs over- hauling after being in service for nine years. Some slate shingles need replacing on the roofs and,, of course; there is the general run of incidental rew.irs inevitable in a large plant that is growing older each year. - Owing to the unusual occurrence of four teachers leav- ing last summer, a substantial decrease in instruction expense came about. This was because the teachers leaving had been in service a number of years, were in the higher salary brackets and were succeeded by new teachers in the lowest brackets. This saving is reflected in considerable part in the general balance on hand at the end of the year. • 3. 10 Under the. item' of equipment are two real needs and one very probable need. First. as an aid to heating efficiency some weather- stripping should be done. Several years ago the windows on the north side of the main building -were so equipped, but none of the outside doors nor the windows on the southeast side was done. The •outside doors let in much cold air and should be attended to first. Second. we need badly additional Iockers for high school pupils. The original adequate equipment has been out- grown by our increased enrolment. The present short- handed situation is objectionable both from the view point of the pupils' convenience and from a school administrative standpoint. Third, it is not only possible but probable that one more cesspool may have to be added to the existing battery of four. INSURANCE Our school building cost $165,325 exclusive of equipment. There has been carried on building only $80,000, or slightly less than fifty percent of the original outlay. Should fire destroy the plant, everything, except possibly the founda- tions. would have to be rebuilt and the $80,000 or more, re- quired above the insurance available would be a heavy bur- den upon the town. The School Committee feels that there should be insur- ance iu effect equal to the cost of replacement should a disas• - ter occur. Accordingly, a special article is being put into the warrant to provide for the extra expense. This will give the citizens of the town the opportunity either to approve of this full insurance or to accept the responsibility of only partial protection. Right here it may be said that insurance rates on the building have been materially lowered this last year. 'Of the *966 appropriated in a .special article at last tonin meet- ing for renewing policies expiring in 1939 a balance of $138.77 is turned back into the town treasury. 11 DRIVEWAYS The driveways have been completely rebuilt. The work was planned and cariied_out by the School Committee in close consultation with engineers of the State Highway Depart- ment. Of the appropriation of $3,000 a balance of $284.72 is turned back. HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL'S REPORT Herewith is submitted my seventh annual report as principal of the John Simpkins School.

The recently formed Yarmouth Teachers' Club has aided considerably in the.life of the school. The yearbooks published by the graduating classes of the past few -years make it. unnecessary to rehearse the splendid work being done by our student organizations. Crowded conditions continue to militate against the greatest efficiency of instruction. We have 32 bookkeeping students working in a room designed to accommodate 24. • We have 37 general science pupii:s in a laboratory designed for 24. There are 36 eighth grade pupils in a room designed for 25. Similar conditions of crowding still hold in the ele- mentary grades. The school continues to be ranked as an A school by the St.ate.Depart.ment of Education and enjoys full certification privileges of the College Entrance Certificate Board. Discontinuance of the school librarian's services leaves the library study hall without supervision for twenty-five periods each week. Fifteen periods are supervised by teach- ers. The unusually heavy teaching load of the faculty makes it. impossible to free any more teaching service for this pur- pose without curtailing our subject offering. The school wishes to thank the Yarmouth Parent-Teach- er Association for its generosity in providing hot lunches for some of our underprivileged children. We wish also to thank the Bass River Rod and Gun Club for•its contribution to our Projector Screen Fund. • In conclusion, I wish to express my gratitude to you and the entire school personnel for the fine cooperation shown during the past year.

Some of the common diseases have occurred, usually of a mild nature, but nothing to cause any special alarm. It is believed that conditions are improving from year to year in the schools, and in health conditions in general in the County. All of the regular work in the schools has been carried on including clinics, •physical examinations, inspections, etc. Many class room teachers are now using the summary of findings of health examinations, which is a joint teacher and public health nurse participation. New school buildings have been dedicated recently. All towns have been active iu this matter of new school build- ings for some time. •-- An especial effort has been made lately regarding the matter of proper lunches in the schools etc., by the nurses, nutritionist and others. It is believed that•the result of this work is satisfactory. The cooperation of all officials bas been very complete and the Parent -Teachers and other organizations have sup- ported health work in every way. As has always been the case, all Superintendents, School Committees and teachers etc. show a very real interest in health matters. • Respectfully. A. P. GOFF, M. D. County Health Officer SCHOOL. NURSE'S REPORT-- - - School health work must of necessity be somewhat of a repetition from year to year. Some students graduate and are no longer a responsibility of the school department, oth- ers enter school for the first time and begin their progress through the accepted avenues of our educational system Our health program is intended to reduce absence from school because of illness to a minimum. We try to do this 15 • by -employing all preventive measures that are available and also corrective measures for defects already present as far as is possible. Our preventive measures include vaccinations for small- pox, toxoid treatments for the' prevention of diphtheria, chest X-rays to discover the very beginning of any infec- tion of the lungs, annual health examinations by a physician, exclusions from school of pupils with symptoms of a eon- tagious disease, and the testing of eyesight and hearing to discover any irregularities that may be present. The corrective measures include a dental clinic financed by the Board of Health and an eye clinic financed by the District Nursing Association. .Co-operation and harmony with school officials and with parents of our children are essential to a successful health program. We are grateful for the co-operation and harmony we receive in Yarmouth.

To supplement this piece we have the ladder trailer with three ladders of lengths capable of reaching any building within our district. The Ford used to carry' this trailer also contains our inhalator and other first aid- equip- ment. The third piece is the forest pumper. This p:ece is a 79 Ford truck equipped- with a two hundred gallon cross frame pump which can •be used in combination with the Maxim. On this machine we carry two live reels each with a capacity of three hundred feet of booster line .and one thousand feet of forest hose. This year we have added another truck purchased with funds raised by the Department, which is used as a hose wagon and for forest fire fighting. On this piece we carry approximately nine hundred feet of 2i/2 in. hose to supply the Maxim when long lines are necessary, and about eight hundred feet of forest hose. This truck carries the port- able pump purchased last May, and two hundred fifty gallons of water. We now carry more than eight hundred gallons of water to fires where water supplies are lack- ing, and .we are able to work either of our forest pieces as a unit or in conjunction with other trucks. Most of our equipment is in good condition with the exception of fire coats and boots, some of which must be replaced if the men are to be properly outfitted.

Report of Inspector of Wires To the Board of Selectmen, - Yarmouth, Massachusetts Gentlemen: There were 55 new buildings inspected in the town during the period from May 15th to December 31st, one of which is a new radio broadcasting station at West Yar- mouth. Approximately 150 other inspections were made, cov- ering a wide variety of work, such as gasoline pumps, oil burners, - welding machines, and alterations to house wiring. The Inspector should be notified of all electrical work . done in the town, so that it may be inspected. This pre- vents unlicensed men, usually handy men, from putting in wiring which is dangerous to both lives and property. Respectfully, E.

STARE, Supervisor. 84 Shellfish Constable's Report - To the Board of Selectmen: I hereby submit the following report as shellfish con- stable of the Town of Yarmouth for the year ending De- cember 31, 1940: Quahaugs The supply of quahaugs has kept up very well. There have been more quahaugs taken from the waters of Yar- mouth than any other shellfish during the year 1940. 1,481 bushels or 390 barrels of seed were planted in the spring, 143 bushels of our own seed being taken from Mill Creek. 2,038 bushels were taken realizing $4,076.00. Scallops The scallop season was very short. Twenty two boats were fishing during -the first two weeks—each boat getting its limit. Then this number dwindled to less than half be- cause the supply dropped quickly. The returns up to Dec- ember 1 showed the amount of 1,118 bushels which was 1,000 bushels short of last year. The average price per bushel was $4.00 resulting in a total of $4,472.00 - Clams Practically all clam flats were closed during the year because these areas were re -seeded. in the spring -300 bushels being planted. Time has been allowed for the seed to develop which will result iu a plentiful supply of both steamers and large clams during the coming year. 356 bushels of clams were taken from the areas which were open. The amount . of money" received from the sale of -clams was $524.00. Oysters • Three hundred bushels of oysters seeds in were rt given no the town by the State. 100 bushels were planted e different sections of the town, namely: North Shore, Bass River and Lewis Bay. Certain parts of these are now. closed. 100 bushels of: oysters were taken from the waters during 1940. The following was received for th& sale of oysters: $800.00.. Total received from sale of - shellfish, $9,872.00. Cockles The state allowed the town $567.80 for the protection - of shellfish. Men were employed to dispose of cockles. These men were employed for several months, in which time a good many cockles were removed from our shores and flats. Permits The total number of shellfish permits issued during. 1940 was 189. During the year covering 1,280 miles on . patrols 618 persons were interviewed and 72 were found violating shellfish regulations on the shores. • Respectfully submitted, FRED C. SCHAUWECKER Shellfish Constable Dec. 20, 1940. Board of Selectmen Yarmouth, Mass. Gentlemen: - In reviewing• the accomplishments of the various coastal towns in the management of their shellfish areas during the calendar year ,of 1940, I was particularly im- pressed with the progress made by the Town of Yarmouth. The program' of replanting and destruction of shell- fish enemies was well balanced and was effectively carried out. I am sure that the citizens of Yarmouth will be greatly benefitted and agreeably surprised by the increased yield when the seed shellfish is ready for harvesting. I know of no other expenditure which may be made by Coastal Towns that will uniformly bring quicker and greater returns than money expended in carefully con- sidered shellfish projects. A return of from two to three fold in the money invested within a few months is a good . 86 general overage of What May a be exp.cted end frequently . . the return is front Ave to eight fold. The Town of Yarmouth .has quite extensive and va- rie Shellfish areas which are greatly underdeveloped and 1 trust ,the Town . will make: as generous an appropriation for 1941 as it slid in 1940. If this is done the State will again be able to allocate a substantial amount to Yarmouth and will welcome the opportunity to, assist your 13oard in arranging a satis- factory program. • One of the most essential features of any successful management of public shellfish areas is proper protection of the _planted areas. In my opinion this can only be done by employing an efficient full-time shellfish officer and supplying hint with proper equipment to thoroughly police the areas. The value of such an officer extends - beyond merely policing duties because it is fully as essen- tial to !now areas andthowthave many people havecured from the been planted benefitted planted thereby. I look forward to a continuation in 1941 of the pleas- ant relations which have been maintained in the past. With kindest regards EARNEST W.

Because of the increase -in Federal and State Depart- ment requirements, secretarial and clerical work and neces- sary interviewing of applicants for relief in the Welfare office has increased to stud' ain extent that it is a full time job in itself and leaves very little, time for visits neces- sary to obtain adequate information from recipients of re- lief, necessary if a- proper -balance- of Aid is to be main- .tained. The requirements. of .tlte Federal and State depart- ments must be met if this town is to receive re-entburse- ntents due it for Belief granted. -Without the assistance of the Federal Grant and the re-embursement 01 tire Com- monwealth the cost of Administration would be tremen- dous.

Respectfully submitted, ZOLA S. JONES, Visitor As in the past several years, Public Welfare continues to be our bi€gest problem and expense, and even with the help of the W. P. A. and other forms of,Governmental aid the cost continues to show an increase. One of the rea- sons for this is the increase in Old Age Assistance cases and the more liberal allowances .for aid to this• class of recipient. However, in the case of O. A. -A. and A. D. C. the reimbursement to the Town from the State and Fed- • 139 • end Oovrrnment make the netnal cost only a small part of the. amount expended even though the Town has to first raise and appropriate the total .amount, thus making an extremely large item in the, budget. The total cost in 1940 for. O. A. A. being. $27,:i42.71 and the amount returned to the Town from the Federal Government and other Towns and State amounted to $21,368 98. The work at Camp Edwards helped oat Public Wel- fare expenditures blit not to the extent that we had hoped due to the fact that comparatively few men on Welfare .had employment at the Camp for,more than a few weeks. There has been no W. P. A. projects in operation since early last Spring until late in December, the construction of a new Highway at Bourne was started and has taken a few of our men, but the matter Of an hour's travel -both night and morning to and from the job is a decided dis- advantage. Among our Welfare families there is a great deal of sickness much of it requiring hospitalization and today practically all maternity cases are taken care of at the Hospital. This has resulted in a very large expense both for hospitals and for doctors. Welfare orders and work cards will be given out at the Town Office on Fridays. Work cards must be returned properly signed before' welfare orders will be issued. Medical and hospital expenses must he authorized be- fore the Town will assume responsibility. Emergency cases will be received at any time. Aid will not be granted to persons who maintain and operate automobiles except in special cases where the use of a car may be considered by the Board to be of substan- tial benefitto the family or to the Welfare Department. FRED M. ANGUS A. EARLE MITCHELL Board of Public Welfare. • • ; 4,• • 140 County Health Ofticer's.Report December 31, 1940 • The following is n brief report of work' of • the Barnstable County Health. Department for the year 1940. All t4 the regular work of the Department tiris been carried on by officers and emploYees, with the full coopera- tion of all concerned. The regular meetings of the various health ,organiza- • tions, including the Southeastern Association of Boards of Health, Cape Cod Health Council, Cape Cod *Health Bureau Association and- others, have been held. The Spring meeting of the Cape Cod Health Bureau Association was held in conjunction with a special meeting of the Southeastern Association, in Hyannis. The Commis- • sioner of Health and representatives from the • Engineering and Legal Departments of the State were present, and a general.discuSsion was held regarding, in particular, ques- tions of summer camps. The meeting was *ell attended by various Boards of Health of the County and a large amount of information was secured regarding these •camps. All of the regular clinics have, of eouse, been held in the County including diphtheria prevention, tuberculosis, preschool, clental. crippled children and well child confer- ences,,,etc. Diphtheria immunization is being done more and more• by private physicians. It is still necessary to hold pub. Ile toxoid clinics, but .every effort is being made to have immunization done by the family physician as stated. Nothing of an unusual nature has occurred in the way of communicable disease in. the County. A certain amount of scarlet fever bas been reported, usually of a mild nature, which frequently .makes the diagnosis difficult. Various •local physicians and others have been most obliging and willing to speak at various health councils throughout the County, nurses associations, and other meet- ings. All local periodicals have- shown their willingness to publish articles regarding health work, notices .of various meetings', etc. This is always the case in this county and is a very important contribution to health work. 141 -.• . . • The cooperation of all Federal, State, County and Town officials. has been very complete, and practically the entire popolation of the county is interested in the work as car- ried on. On the whole it in believed that health work is increasing., in efficiency from year to year. As has been be- fore mentioned three consecu:ive awards for meritorious service have been given to the County. These awards are issued by the 13. S. Chamber of Commerce 'and American Public Health Asiociation. Our thanks are extended to all -officials; citizens and others who make the work possible, and every effort will be made to the end, that the work of .the Barnstable County' .liealth Department may be carried on efficiently during the coming year, and increase as is always necessary in any useful organization, in effectiveness of operation and tech- nique; Respectfully, A. P. GOFF, M. D. • County Health Officer • f :4 4 • , I t, 142 Report of Yarmouth Planning Board The Yarmouth Planning Board's Annual Report is a brief one. • At our annual town meeting last February a very mild zoning by-law was defeated; much might be said; (which will not be said). The members of our Board and other progressive' citizens who believe our growing town - of Yarmouth would be benefitted and not injured by the adoption of a carefully planned zoning by-law, were disap- pointed, but not discouraged. Onr town in 1939 adopted a very mild by-law regulating • tourist. camps. It was a step in the right direction, but . only a slight step, for attempts have been made to get around this by-law by technicalities. Certain portions of the Cape are growing rapidly. Con- ditions are constantly changing. Many changes have taken place in recent- ears, and especially in 1940. We have seen this year a Federal Military Camp started at Camp Edwards, which soon may contain more people than the entire popu- lation of the' Cape. Nearly two hundred Army trucks •from - Camp Edwards to the Lower Cape passed my .house in Yarmouth Port one November morning. To relieve congestion, new roads are being built, and more.to follow. If the Massachusetts Highway By Pass Artery should be built., running from Sandwich to Yarmouth or•Dennis, avoiding the tortuous, narrow road through•the villages of East Sandwich, West Barnstable, Barnstable and Yarmouth, it would find Barnstable protected by zoning and Yarmouth not. In view of all these changing conditions, should not the citizens of Yarmouth consider carefully whether it would • not be well to adopt some mild and carefully planned zon- ing before- it is too late? THINK IT OVER. THOMAS C. THACH-FR Chairman Yarmouth Planning Board Yarmouth, December 31, 1940 _ 1 1111111,N 11.1111i 143 Park Corninissioners' Report In the year 1939, the Town with the help of the Works Progress Administration, erected 78 bathhouses, 2 showers and an • office. The 78 bathhouses are divided into two parts, one being based on a paying proposition, and the other, free.- In the current year by means of this set -up - the Town has benefited to the emount of $400.99. The season of 1940 was wet and cold until well along into the season and it is fair to assume that during a.nor- - mal summer this amount would be considerably more.

Present number of Water Services Services vacant Gallons of water pumped • Stock on hand, estimated value Outstanding accounts Gallons pumped to the Barnstable. Fire District Cash received from the Barnstable Fire Dis-. • trict from October 1, .1939, to October 1, 1940 1635.87 Payment on Bond Indebtedness 4000.00 Interest on Bond Indebtedness 1645.00 Six new services were installed. . One of the several problems of the Water Department still remains, the abuse of water privileges. All takers on the maximum flat rate are allowed 50,000 gallons per year, which is considered more than ample for the average user. A check-up on the test meters shows some. of the takers eut of line as much as 200,000 gal. per year. Although 37 test meters have been installed it will take another year and the installation of more meters to arrive at an average for an equitable base rate oil a ehanga over from flat rate to meter rate charges. The excessive use of water will be curtailed somewhat_ _ this coming year by charging for excess water through the test meters and the installation of more meters as soon as money is available for this purpose. The cost of power for the Water Department is out of proportion for the amount of water pumped in com- parison with other types of power such as Diesel motors. At the time the water system was installed electric power was the most reasonable as Diesel equipment was expen sive. Now that. Diesel motors have been improved and their purchase price lowered, the power cost of -this type of mo - 206 21 37,699,200 $703.00 814.47 14,840,700 145 • • tor must be compared with electricity, the type of power we are now using. For comparison: Last year it cost $1878.11 to operate our pumps while a neighboring town using .Diesel equipment and pumping approximately the same amount of water did so at a cost of about $350. Due to the smaller unexpended balance of 1940 it is necessary to raise and appropriate a larger sum of money than last year to cover the bond issue and part of the in- terest charges. - ' FINANCIAL STATEMENT Appropriations: Balance on hand January 1; 1940 Hydrant rental or appropriation by the Town Receipts from water rates and services Total Amount expended: Office supplies Power and lights Superintendent's salary Superintendent's substitute Labor Pumping station supplies Construction supplies Collector's salary Interest on bond indebtedness Water Commissioners' salaries Technical service Truck repairs Freight and express General repairs Tools and equipment Gasoline and oil Fuel oil Insurance $3095 97 2015 03 __ __- 6498 10 $11.609 10 $ 65 85 1878 11 1456 00 50 00 281 32 16 85 246 67 150 00 1645 00 __ 300.00 25 04 11 30 7 82 82 72 35 92 38 13 75 30 69-20 • • I • -�9 146 - Telephone service Clerical service Tax and gasoline permits Payment on Bond Indebtedness Dieters Collectors' travel Total Balance December 31, 1940 45 30 150 00 1 00 4000 00 281 25 50 00 $10 962 78 $ 646 32 U.

Bassett, Chairman Yarmouth, Massachusetts Gentlemen: I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Yarmouth for the period from April 5, 1939 to July 6, 1940, made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws. This is in the form of_o report made to me by Mr. Herman B. Dine, As- sistant Director of Accounts. 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 April 5, 1939, the date of the previous examination, to July 6, 1940, and submit the following report thereon: The financial transactions as recorded on the books of the several departments receiving or disbursing money for the town or committing bills for collection were ex- amined and reconciled with the records in the office of the accounting officer. The accounting officer's ledger accounts were analyzed, the recorded receipts being checked with the treasurer's books, while the payments were compared with the war- 1,10 • 158 rants authorizing them and with the treasurer's records of payments. The appropriation " accounts were checked with the town clerk's records of town meeting proceedings and the recorded transfers from the reserve fund were verified by "a comparison with the records of the finance committee. — The necessary adjusting entries resulting from the audit were made, and a balance sheet, which is appended - to this report, was prepared showing the financial con- dition of the town on July 6, 1940. The balance sheet in- dicates that the financial condition of the town is very good. The books and accounts of the treasurer were exam- ined and checked. The receipts, as recorded, were an- alyzed and checked with the records of the several de-• partments collecting money for the town and with other sources from which money was paid into the treasury, while the payments were compared with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the treasurer to disburse town funds. The cash book additions were verified and the cash bal- ance on July 6, 1940, was proved by a reconciliation of the bank balance with a statement furnished. by the bank in. which town funds are deposited. It was noted that many of the paid bills lacked the necessar,- approval by the proper authority, in which con- nection.attention is called to the provisions of Section 56, Chapter 41, General Laws, which reads in part as follows: "The selectmen and all boards, commit- tees, heads of departments and officers author- ized to expend money shall approve and transmit to the town accountant as often as once each month all bills, drafts and or- ders chargeable to the respective appropria- tions ..." A deficit of $90 in the overlay account for 1938 should be provided for by the board of assessors in accordance with. the provisions of Section 23, Chapter 59,. General Laws. - Payments made for maturing -debt and interest were 1 159 checked and compared kith cancelled securities and cou- pons on file. The savings bank books and securities representing the investment of -the several trust funds in the custody of the town treasurer were examined and listed, the in- come and withdrawals therefrom being checked with the treasurer's recorded receipts. • The records of tax titles held by the town were ex- amined and checked in detail. The amounts transferred to the tax title account were compared with the collector's • books, while the reported redemptions where checked with the treasurer's .recorded receipts. The books and accounts of the collector of taxes were examined and checked. The taxes and assessments out- standing according to the previous examination were audited and all subsequent commitments were compared with the assessors' warrants issued for their collection. The payments to the treasurer were verified, the recorded abate- ments were checked with the assessors' records, the taxes transferred to the tax title account were proved, and the outstanding accounts were listed. The records of departmental accounts receivable were examined and checked in detail. The charges were prov- ed, the reported payments to the treasurer were com- pared with the treasurer's recorded receipts, the abate- ments and disallowances were verified, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved. The records of licenses and permits issued by the se- lectmen, town clerk'and the milk inspector were examined and checked, and the reported payments to the State and to the town were verified. The books and accounts of the water collector were examined and checked. The charges for water rates and services outstanding according to the previous examination were audited and all subsequent charges were proved. The recorded collections were checked with the treasurer's cash book, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved. The outstanding tax, assessment, departmental and water accounts receivable were verified by sending notices Assets • Cash, Cash Shortage - Frank L.

C. R. STACY Secretary -41 It 190 Report of the Superintendent of Schools To the School Committee of Yarmouth, Mass. Gentlemen: Herewith is presented the forty-ninth report in the series of annual reports by -_the Union Superintendent of Schools.

In the school year of 1929-30, of all r grades waxof er 1, the enrolment of Yarmouth pupils •fh 191. and the enrolment. of .the Dennis high school was-' 67, a total of. 324. The school building was planned to accommodate 444 pupils, thus allowing for an increase of 120 pupils or a growth of 37 per cent. This seemed reasonable at the time. Had anyone then insisted on a still larger school house to allow for a yet greater expansion of the school popula- tion, -the great majority of our citizens would have doubted its necessity, and quite naturally so. In the fall of 1931, the new building was opened with 308 pupils from Yarmouth (239 elementary and 69 high) and 75 Dennis high school pupils, or a total of 383. By "elementary" in these, figures is meant grades one to eight inclusive. In the fall of 1933, the total Yarmouth enrolment had risen to 361 (elementary 279; high 82) and that of Dennis had become 92. In 1936 the enrolment of Yarmouth pupils was 398 (elementary 298; high school 100) and the Dennis high school pupils 95. On October 1, 1940, Yarmouth had 459 pupils (331 elementary; 128 high) and Dennis had 101, or a total of 560 pupils for a school plant that was designed to house 444. From 1931 to 1940 the Yarmouth school population had risen from 308 to 459, a gain of 151 or 49 per cent. In this same period the Dennis high school pupils had increased from 75 to 101, a gain of 26 or 35 per cent. Thus it is seen that the growth of the Yarmouth school population has far exceeded that of Dennis, and that it is this Yarmouth growth that is the primary cause of the overcrowding. The Annual Town Meeting of 1938 voted "to appoint six citizens to act with the School Committee as a commit- tee to study in detail the problem of providing more .school accommodations, and to present a definite plan for its solution at the next Annual Town Meeting." As a result of this study the committee voted unani- • 192 mously as recognizing an overcrowded condition, -and. men- tioned specific examples of the effect of this condition. At the end of its report this committee stated that "in consideration of the above existing conditions, the only apparent remedy would seem to be the building of four additional class rooms." - - It did not, however, specifically recommend that the town build this addition, or not build, at tht time. iie This, then, is the record of our school housing problem. Now, as to the near future. It is true that the rapid growth prior to 1938 has ceased these last two years. In 1938, the total enrolment in the school was 564; in 1939 it was 552, a drop of 12; in 1940 it was 561, or a pick-up of 9. There are factors which support a belief in a mod- erate resumption of increase in the near future, rather than a decline. These points are as follows: (1) The con- tinued all-year;round business prosperity of the central Cape is believed in by many thoughtful business men. (2) The continued growth of Hyannis as the center of this activity. (3) The position of Yarmouth as a near -by resi- dential district of Hyannis, assures Yarmouth, particularly West Yarmouth, of a share in any increased prosperity and population of Hyannis. In the meantime, we remain overcrowded. This last year we have had to put 47 seventh grade pupils into the auditorium. This proceeding was a necessary make -shift, and . should by no means remain permanent. As a superintendent of schools, desirous of seeing adequate housing accommodations maintained for our pupils, I should not be doing my full professional duty did I not definitely recommend that .the Town take steps to provide an addition to the building. THE TEACHING STAFF There were four changes in the teaching staff during the year and one new teacher added. Mr. Robert. S. Play - fair has been succeeded as teacher of English. in the high school by Mr. Ernest C. Allison. Mr. Allison is a grad- uate duate of Bates College and has attended Boston University 193 Summer School for_ five seasons, getting his master's de- gree there. He has had .six years of successful experience in teaching English . and lower school athletics at Tilton School and Junior College, New .Hampshire. Miss Margaret Waterman, who had junior high school English and dramatics, resigned on account of marriage and has been succeeded by Miss Nance Marquette, a gradu- ate of highest standing from the Bridgewater State Teach- ers College in 1940. Miss Henrietta' Olsen, teacher of commercial subjects, also resigned on account of marriage. Her place has been. taken by Miss Ruth E. Colton, a graduate of Nasson Col- lege in Maine, who has had both teaching experience and secretarial experience in the business world. Miss Jean White, who taught clothing in the high school and in grades seven and eight, together with social studies in grades seven and eight, accepted a more satis- factory position elsewhere. Miss Sylvia B. Birch, who graduated from Framingham State Teachers College, Household Arts Course, in 1940 and who was very well recommended, was appointed to the vacancy. - The additional teacher added to the staff was Miss Dorothy P. Mitchell of West Yarmouth, who graduated from the Hyannis State Teachers College in 1939. Miss Mitchell has an overflow room of grades four and five. The hiring of this new teacher was made necessary in order to relieve serious overcrowding, particularly in the fourth grade room. This overcrowding had to be relieved on or- ders from the State Building Inspector. , - THE FREDERICK HOWES FUND Mr. Frederick Eldridge Howes, a native-born son of Yarmouth who left his home village early in life, and met with success in business life, left a sum of money, available after the death of his brother, Christopher H. Howes, for . the promotion of education in the Yarmouth High School. The income of this fund is now becoming available 194 for use. Principal Jenner mentions in his report the ad- dition of .certain pieces of scientific apparatus, reference books, and . visual education equipment by means of this revenue: The school department records its appreciation of M. Howes' generous thought of his home school. HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL'S REPORT Herewith is submitted my eighth- annual report as principal of the John Simpkins School. Last. June there were fifty graduates. Of these, three returned as post graduates, eight are enrolled in college, four are enrolled in other schools, two are in the Navy, three are in the Army, three are married, twenty-one are employed, and six are unreported. At the present time graduates of the school are in at- tendance at the following institutions: (This is not a complete list,), State Teachers Colleges at Iiyannis and Framingham, Massachusetts State College, Harvard, Uni- versity of Vermont, Norwich University, Rensselaer Poly- technic Institute, Oberlin Zion Bible Institute, Eastern Bible Institute, Waltham Training School, Green Moun- tain Junior College, Lesley School, Cambridge Hospital, Cape Cod Secretarial SehooL Reports from these institutions indicate that ` these pupils are well qualified and testify to thehigh grade of work being done by our teachers. The school continues to be ranked as an A school by the State Department of Education and enjoys full certifi- cation privileges of the College Entrance Certificate Board. Any' pupil of Yarmouth High School may be certified to college without additional preparation provided he takes the subjects required by such college for entrance and maintains a grade of 80 per cent or better, the grade necessary for certification. Preparing• ones' self for col- lege is an active matter. It requires the best efforts of both the pupil and the teacher. Pupils who are lazy or inefficient should not expect that any school can prepare them for college.

The students have purchased and installed a 9 ft. by 12 ft. glass beaded, motor driven screen for the auditorium. The school committee, through the Howes Fund, has purchased a mi- cropmjector, a delineascope, and a new microscope with a substage condenser. - A new lathe purchased from the same fund has, strengthened our work in the Manual Arts Course. For the school library, the school committee has pur- chased through the sane fund, additional volumes of litera- ture and reference works which are aiding considerably in all courses. Two very useful books on "Indians" were given to the school by Mr. Joshua F. Crowell of West Yarmouth. During the year the school was the recipient of a gift of mounted birds, the collection of Captain .Fred Hurst, given`by his wife in his memory. The gift is very much appreciated and has proved stimulating and in- structive in our nature study and our. biology courses. Mr. Charles Henry Davis has offered us a pottery kiln which we have been unable to accept ' through lack of space to set and operate the, kilo. The school has also re- ceived a ping-pong table and a play slide from Mrs. I. K. Ta;`1or whom we wish to thank. The student body has also purchased a portable radio and record player which has proved valuable in curricul un enrichment. A two speaker amplifier and record player has been purchased by the students to provide music in the gymnasium for dancing. It is hoped that this may serve as a nucleus fora public address system throughout the school. In closing, I wish to thank you -and the entire staff for tli? splendid cooperation shown during the past year. ARTHUR E. JINNER Principal 197 REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN All of the regular work in connection with health in the schools has been carried on as asnal. A steadily in- creasing interest is being taken in these matters, and of course it is well known that the matter of health in the school children is closely connected with all of the work in the school, and this is a matter which is being more and more borne in mind by both teachers and nurses and all concerned. All of the schools in the. County have been quite for- tunate regarding communicable diseases and those which have occurred have been of the ordinary nature. Scarlet fever as has been mentioned before, has lately been quite mild, and this, of coarse, makes diagnosis difficult at times. A very mild case may possibly escape notice by all concern- ed in some instances. The regular physical examinations which are always given to all pupils, show on the whole a certain . amount of improvement in physical conditions, especially in the mat- ter of teeth. All towns have now, of course, dental treat- ment available. An especial attempt has been made to have parents present when physical examination is being made, and a certain number have attended. All of the regular clinics have been conducted, and it may be stated that diphtheria immunization has become, without compulsion, a more or less routine matter, much the same as is now vaccination against smallpox. The work of the nutritionist is continuing with very satisfactory results in all schools. As usual, the cooperation of all officials, associations, etc., concerned with schools has been very complete, and health work has been supported in every way. As has been stated before, a very genuine interest is shown in health work by all superintendents and school committees, and we wish to assure all concerned that every effort wiII be made 198 during the coming year to the end, that health conditions• in schools may continue to be satisfactory in every way. Respectfully, A. P..00FF, M.D. County Health Officer. SCHOOL NURSE'S REPORT A careful analysis of the school nursing work would bring to light many things that occupy the school nurse's time and attention yet do not appear as time consumers on a statistical report. One of our first items "Inspections" both classroom, when the children and their surroundings are viewed as a whole, and the individual inspection can and do present many problems that require tact as well as time to correct and to improve the general atmosphere and attitude of the school. Next on our list is consultations with various people dealing with matters relating to .the best interest of the whole school group. Annual health examinations and weighing of children require in addition to the time spent in the actual examina- tion also a detailed report of any and all defects found. This report is given to the parent and to interested school authorities as well as being kept on file by the nurse. First-aid treatments and dome Visits. This last item means many miles of travel as well as the time spent in making the visit. The testing of vision and hearing is cer- tainly one of the most important phases of our work and requires exceptionally good judgment as well as a trained person to select. and classify defects found in these tests. Last on our list is clinics, perhaps the most time con- suming of all for in order for a child to attend any clinic a contact must first be made with the parent and arrange- ments made for transportation when necessary and later a report must be given to the parent and instructions -regard- ing the recommendations of the clinic. Each school child has a Health Record that the nurse must keep up to date, so clerical work ten when we take an inventory of the a School health Program. Our statistical report follows: School visits Inspections Sanitary Classroom : Exclusions Consultations Superintendent Teachers School Physician Parents Children First-aid treatments Annual Physical Examinations Number weighed Home visits Number homes Number ehildren Vision retested Hearing tested with Audiometer Hearing retested with Audiometer Vaccinations Clinic Attendance Chest X-rays Toxoid Dental Eye Pre-school Crippled children must not be forgot - ways and means of 72 883 •-4.1 105 42 188 3 8 7 72 575 1360 68 86 94 250 20 3 24 20 108 10 27 3 Respectfully submitted, District Nursing Association. yF� 4. sx • • 200 REPORT OF SUPERVISOR.. OF ATTENDANCE For the• School Term Ending December 31, 1940 As supervisor of attendance I wish to express my ap- preciation for the cooperation I have received from parents, and also from the members of the South Yarmouth Mothers' Club and South Yarmouth • Womans' Club. Through the efforts of the two organizations it was made possible for one student. to complete her course by providing a home until she could rejoin her family in an- other state after graduation. • N� The percentage of truancy has lowered, and there has been practically. no illness to keep children from school. Number of cases investigated 17 Sent to school from streets - 1 Cases found of truancy 4 Detained at horn' on account of personal sickness 4 Found at work 0 Found .at work illegally 0 Returned to school 2 Detained at home on account of parents 2 Other cases than above 4 -ADA M.

SHELLFISH CONSTABLE'S REPORT To the Board of Selectmen I hereby submit the following report as shellfish con= stable of the Town of Yarmouth for the year ending Decem= ber 31, 1941: . During the year, the fishermen of the town have received approximately $10,267.00 from the sale of shellfish. • Quahaugs The supply of quahaugs has been very plentiful this past year. Three thousand four hundred seventy eight bush- els being taken from the waters realizing $8695.00. This department has planted 273% bushels of quahaug seed, which were purchased from t1Le, state. Each bushel averaged from eight to ten thousand seed. They were distributed in the various sections of the town, namely: the North Shore, Bass River, Parkers River, and Lewis Bay. • Scallops The scallop supply was very low, only 328 bushels being taken from the waters. At $4.00 per bushel, this crop am- ounted to $1;312.00. Three hundred thirty-two bushels of seed scallops have been taken from the Georgetown flats -and replanted in deeper water. Several men were given_employ- ment for two weeks for this purpose. The town and state jointly financed this project. Clams About 260 bushels of clams were dug. Figuring the selling price at $1.00 per bushel $260.00 was realized. Oysters Thirty-four bushels of oysters were taken from the waters for family use. Twenty-five bushels of oysters given 1 • 61 • to the town by the state were planted in various sections of the town namely: North Shore`, Parkers River, and Lewis Bay. Permits Shellfish permits during the year totaled 130. 'Ten thou- sand miles have been covered on patrol duty. Forty-eight persons have violated the shellfish regulations, a marked de- crease in comparison with the preceding year. Respectfully submitted, FRED C. SCHAUWECKER Shellfish Constable 111 • p • 62 COUNTY HEALTH OFFICER'S REPORT The following is a brief report of the work of Barnstable County Health Department for the year 1941. All of the regular meetings of the various Health Asso- ciations have been held as usual, including the Southeastern Association of Boards of Health of Massachusetts, the Cape Cod Health Bureau Association, the Cape Cod Health Coun- cil, etc. Officers representing the Army and the defense pro- gram have been speakers at some of these meetings, par- ticularly in regard to the matter of cooperation between the military and civil authorities. It is believed that this has been quite satisfactory and very few complaints relating to health matters etc., have been received. The County Health Officer is of course ex -officio the head of health• work relating to matters of defense in tire County. Rehabilitation of men who have been rejected for military duty is receiving attention and in general the local nurses in the various towns have direct charge of this. Of course many of the men make every effort to have defects corrected if possible and the nurses and others are ready to give any advice or assistance as needed. All of the regular clinics, including diphtheria preven- tion, pre-school, dental, tuberculosis and well child con- ferences etc., nave been held as usual. In parts of the United States a considerable amount of anterior poliomyelitis (infantile paralysis) has been reported, but in.Barnstable County very few -local cases have occurred; Nothing out. of the ordinary has occurred in connection with communicable disease. The cooperation of all officials and organizations has as usual been very complete and satisfactory and all physicians in the County have assisted in every way. It may be mentioned that a new audiometer for use in all schools of the County has been purchased and is proving. very useful. Some changes have of course occurred among officials and employees, one of them being the State Supervising Nurse of this District who resigned during the year. • A new nu - f 1 1 . • 63 tritionist was detailed also, the former one having gone to New York to work. As before mentioned the cooperation with officers and others at Camp Edwards has been, it is believed, quite-satis- - factory. The regular work of the. County Health Depart- ment has been carried on in a satisfactory manner by officers and employees and our thanks are extended to all officials and others who make the work of the Department possible and we wish to assure them that every effort will be made to continue the health work in an efficient manner during the coming year. Respectfully, A. P. Goff, M. D. County Health Officer 64 REPORT of YARMOUTH PLANNING BOARD In accordance with. the Massachusetts General Laws, the annual report of the Yarmouth Planning Board is here- with presented. Yarmouth continues to show a healthy growth. New residents are coming here, our town is going forward and not backward. Although our town in recent years has had to meet many unavoidable heavy expenses, it is gratifying to note that the tax rate of Yarmouth in 1941 was $27.20 against a tax rate of. $32.50 in 1931. Our town officials and also the members of the Finance Committee deserve credit for their successful effort to reduce the tax rate. Furthermore, our town officials, selectmen, firemen, po- lice and all others, including many patriotic women and men, all deserve much credit for all they have done in helping ,to take necessary defense nieeasures. It goes without saying that in this War time, when Federal expenditures and taxes are of necessity high, the watch -word of our towns as well as private citizens should be Economy. Our citizens should respect the need for curtail- ment of expenditures at our town meeting in view of in- creased Federal taxes and our country at war. Private in- dividuals should start by cutting out all unnecessary expen- ditures including gasoline, tires, etc. One way to do this, is to use the train when possible. . • Lastly, let us all, citizens of Yarmouth, cooperate to our fullest extent in the defense -measures. , • . It has been well said, _"The foundation of Democracy is the man, woman or child in1the democracy." Let us all, young and old, join together solid as a rock in the defense of our country. THOMAS C.

We would also like to report that we are now planning to ask for a new fire station this year and have at our own 67 - expense had plans drawn up and estimates made on the cost of such a building. We have taken this step after carefully considering every angle. The present building needs a great deal of repairing to make it a suitable place to house so. much valuable apparatus and equipment and if this were done we would still have a fire trap. We feel that this building is in itself a defense measure and we extend to the townspeople and especially the members of the finance committee an invitation to examine the present station and. feel that they will be convinced of the soundness of our judgment. Respectfully submitted, IRA R. THACHER, Chief Engineman 68 REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF WIRES • December 31, 1941 To the Board of Selectmen, Yarmouth, Massachusetts • Gentlemen: There were 40 new - houses and small cottages built in the town during the year 1941. I have made approximately 300 other inspections covering a 'wide variety of work. In makingthese inspections I traveled about 2000 miles. Generally speaking, the houses being built today are completely equipped electrically. The .older houses, a great many of which have been remodeled during the past year, are having the wiring added to, or entirely replaced with new and up to date equipment. • Several cases of defective wiring have been found, and upon investigation I found that the work had been done by unlicensed mechanics. The average call for the service of the Inspector naturally comes from the electrician on the job, but where the house- holder feels any -doubt as to the safety of the wiring, be or she is free to call for an inspection. Due to blackout regulations, I find that wiring is being altered so that jt is more easily controlled. Some places are having auxiliary power plants installed, so that necessary services may be kept going during an air raid. Respectfully yours, E. FRUEAN, JR., Inspector of Wires . _ _ 69• ANNUAL REPORT of the FEDERAL -SURPLUS COMMODITY OFFICE To the Board of Selectmen: The following report of The State Surplus Commodity Office, through the Yarmouth Distribution Center, is hereby submitted with conservative cash value, for the year of 1941.

This work was done during the past year. To preserve the work already done, we feel that the Tank and its supporting structure, should be completely painted, inside and out, this year. Because the flow of water from the 'wells to the pumps has been gradually decreasing, and because of the critical times ahead, we feel that money spent in reconditioning the wells would be a wise and practical investment. Because the• old truck is rapidly becoming a liability, and because there is going to be an acute shortage of the type of truck we need, we believe that now is the right time to acquire a new truck for the Department. To meet the above needs; the Department is requesting a larger appropriation than last year. The collection of Water Rates for the year has been very satisfactory. • Respectfully BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS ;15 Financial Statement Yarmouth, Mass., December 31, 1941 Appropriations: Balance on hand January 1, 1941 $ 646 32 Hydrant rental or appropriation by the town Receipts from water rates and services 6931 42 4781 38 Total Amount Expended: Superintendent's.

The Board is pleased to report that this year's Welfare expenses have been lower than at any time in the past five years and it was pleasant not to have to transfer Reserve funds or call a special Town Meeting to meet expenses for Public Welfare although the Board had to have a transfer from the Reserve Fund of $1700.00 to Old Age Assistance. This was due to an increase of ten cases of Old Age Assis- tance during the year. 1941 SUMMARY Total Relief Expenditures for 1941 Less Federal Grants, expended 61 379 33 14 462 66 • 46 916 67 4 224 91 Less Bills to Cities, Town and State Net Cost to the Town of Yarmouth, 1941 RELIEF COMPARISON FIGURES: 1940 Expenditures 20 328 03 6 484 84 3 012 04 Public Welfare Outside Public Welfare A.D.C.

Angus, Chairman Yarmouth, Massachusetts Gentlemen: I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Yarmouth for the period from July 7, 1940 to September 6, 1941, made in accordance with 'the provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws. This is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. Herman B. Dine, Assis- tant Director of Accounts..',. Very truly yours, ' THEODORE N. WADDEIL Director of AMeounts Mr. Theodore N. Waddell Director of Accounts Department of Corporations and Taxation State House, Boston Sir: In accordance with your instructions, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Yarmouth for the period from July 7, 1940, `the date of the previous audit, to September 6, 1941, and report thereon as follows: The recorded financial transactions of the several de- partments receiving or disbursing money for the town or committing bills for collection were examined, checked, and verified by a comparison with the books of the accounting officer andthe town treasurer. The books and accounts kept by the accounting officer were examined and checked. The receipts as recorded on the ledger were checked with the records of the several de - 1 partments making payments to the treasurer and with the treasurer's books, while the recorded payments were checked with the treasury warrants issued by the selectmen and with the treasurer's cash book. The appropriations and transfers as recorded on the ledger were checked with the town clerk's records of town meetings and with the records of the finance committee. A trial balance was taken off, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town on September 6, 1941. The balance sheet indicates that the town is in very good financial condition. The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and Checked in detail. The recorded receipts were analyzed and compared with the records in the several de- partments collecting money for the town and- with other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury, while the payments were checked with the selectmen's war- rants authorizing the disbursement of town funds. The cash book was added throughout for the period cov- ered by the audit and the cash balance on September 6, 1941, was proved by verification of the cash in the office, and by reconciliation of the bank balance with a statement furnished by the bank in which town funds are deposited. The payments on account of maturing debt and interest were verified by comparison with the amounts falling due, the cancelled securities and coupons were checked, and the outstanding debt was listed and proved. The savings bankbooks and securitiesrepresenting the investments of the trust funds in the custody of the town treasurer were examined and listed. The income was proved and the withdrawals verified.. The tax title deeds on hand were examined and listed. The amounts transferred from the tax levies to the tax title account were reconciled with the collector's accounts, the tax titles redeemed were compared with the treasurer's reported receipts, the tax titles disclaimed were verified, and the tax title deeds as listed were checked with the records in the Registry of Deeds. The books and accounts of the collector of taxes were examined and checked. The poll, personal property, real estate, and motor vehicle excise taxes, as well as moth assess- ments, outstanding . according to the previous examination were audited and all subsequent commitments were checked to the warrants for their collection. The payments to the. treasurer were checked to the treasurer's cash book, the re- corded abatements were compared with the assessors' records of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the respective ledger accounts. The departmental and water accounts committed for collection were examined and checked. The commitments were proved, the recorded receipts were checked with the pay- ments to the treasurer, the abatements were compared with the records in the- departments authorized to grant abate- ' ments, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the respective ledger accounts: - - Verification of the correctness of the outstanding tax, assessment, departmental, `and water accounts was made by /nailing notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, and from the replies received it would appear that the accounts, as listed, are correct. The financial accounts of the town clerk were examined. The records of dog, sporting, and town licenses issued and of fees received were checked, and the reported payments to the State and to the town were verified. - The records of the selectmen's and health departments pertaining to licenses and permits issued, of the sealer of weights and measures for fees collected, as well as of all other departments collecting money or committing bills for collec- tion, were examined, the payments to the treasurer being compared with the treasurer's recorded receipts. The surety bonds of the financial officials bonded for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and.found to be in proper form. There are appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, tables showing .a reconciliation of the trees: • urer's and the collector's cash, summaries of the tax, assess- ment, tax title, departmental, and water accounts, as well as 93 tables showing the condition and transactions of the trust funds. While engaged in making the audit, cooperation was received from the officials of the town, for which, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appreciation.

Gentlemen: In submitting my first report as Forest Warden, h want to thank you and the town's people for their kind considera- tion and cooperation in helping me to keep down our forest fires in the town. We have been very fortunate in having very few fires this year and consequently we have been able to put in a fire lane about fifty feet wide and about three quarters of a mile long. I hope in the future to be able to finish this one and to eventually make some more as I believe that the lanes are very vital in combatting, our fires by giving us a chance to set backfires and the firemen a chance to work more safely. As the State has demanded that each town patrol their wooded sections this year, I am asking for a three-quarter ton truck and the equipment to go with it. Hoping that this article meets with the approval of the citizens of the town I remain, -Yours truly, • SAMUEL R. THACHER, Forest Warden e -ti :101 'ASSESSORS' REPORT Aggregates of Property & Taxes as Assessed in 1941 PERSONS ASSESSED On Personal Estate Only On Real Estate Only On Both Personal and Real Estate TOTAL NUMBER OF PERSONS ASSESSED POLLS ASSESSED ASSESSED PERSONAL ESTATE Stock in trade $33 875 00 Machinery 18 82N. 00 Live Stock 6 025 00 Other Tangible Personal Property 526 650 00 ..

HALLETT, Auditor. 151 First Annual Report of the COMMISSIONERS OF TRUST FUNDS in and for the Town of Yarmouth . At a special Town Meeting held April 6, 1940, it was voted to set 'up and appoint Commissioners of Trust Funds as provided for by General Laws, Chapter 41, Section 45, acid at'the next annual election the voters duly elected three Commissioners. The Commissioners met, organized as a Board, made an inventory of the Trust Funds and items in each fund, and have held meetings from time to time during the year. Details of actions taken in reinvestment and collection of income, etc., are on record with the Town Treasurer. The Board of Commissioners now have control and charge of the following funds, viz: (1) Joshua Sears Fund $ 5536.41 Book Value (2) Alfred V. Lincoln Fund 1000.00 Book Value (3) Fred Eldredge Howes Fund 22654.11 Book Value Respectfully submitted, ) Carl B. Mayo Sgd.) John Simpkins ) A. Harold Castonguay 152 REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON SCHOOL ADDITION To the Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth: .The committee appointed under Article 51, following the last annual Town Meeting, -has given a great deal of consideration to the duties putupon it. We had several discussions with Mr. Stacy and have come to the conclusion that there is no doubt whatsoever that additional facilities, such as classrooms, shop -rooms and an enlarged cafeteria are very much needed. For further details of needed extension, we would refer you to the Annual School Report. We have had fifteen meetings during which we consulted with five architectural firms, some of them more than once. Just when we were approaching a conclusion, the events of December 7, 1941, with the following priority difficulties looming, to say nothing of the tax load that will inevitably fall upon all of us, Seemed to make it imperative that we bring our deliberations to a close. • Our report is, therefore, for the time being; one of progress. • Robert M.

The use of the auditorium for class room purposes and many other unsatisfactory housing problems are recognized and consequently frowned upon. •War conditions, priorities of building materials, higher cost of construction and mounting taxes, together with press- ing need of repairs to our present school building render it inadvisable for us to sponsor a new addition this year. Due to this urgent need of this major repair work on our present building, we believe that a renovation program should be started this year. Accordingly, we have asked that the amount of $750.00 used each year for ordinary and emergency 'repairs be increased to $2,000.00. This amount would be spent to replace the many broken slates on our main roofs, eliminating many leaks and reducing the hazards of falling pieces of broken slate. Several rotted pieces of wood around the gutters and columns should be removed and new sections installed. At least, the windows should be painted and many of the panes are in need of new putty. Unless unforeseen conditions arise, these two items should be com- pleted ompleted under this budget. Inside painting and varnishing of class rooms, corridors, and equipment are an example of the work that should be done in the very near future. An increasing number of pupils has hastened wear and tear on the whole of the interior of. the building. and its equipment. We know that a great many parents will be 'gratified to learn that this year it seems that a satisfactory arrange- ment for the services of a vocal teacher is possible, and we trust that this subject may become a permanent part of our curriculum once more. Respectfully submitted, Alberto W. Small, Chairman Hervey L. Small Winthrop V. Wilbur . 176 REPORT of SUPERINTENDENT of SCHOOLS To the School Committee of Yarmouth, Massachusetts Gentlemen: 1 Herewith is presented the fiftieth report in the series of annual reports by the Union Superintendent of Schools.

Our citizens must face this. fact. Our school standards are being lowered due to an insufficient number of school rooms. While these unsatisfactory conditions exist, certain groups of pupils are at a serious disadvantage in getting their education. "Growing children cannot wait—they must have healthful, safe, and educationally effective housing, and competent instruction—all without interruption: "—` `An efficient school implies adequate housing, namely such hous- ing as will enable the supervisory and instructional corps to carry on a broad program of education", designed to pro- mote health, safety, and good progress in all the essential studies. i 177 • It is anything but efficient to have fifty, eighth -grade pupils_ seated in the auditorium which was never intended, and not properly equipped, for class room purposes: It is not efficient to have a class -teaching unit of fifty students, for -one teacher. 'Rather, it is an imposition on the teacher and a handicap to the pupils. It is not efficient to have the library diverted from its original and correctuse by turning it into a make -shift class- room. It. is not efficient to be using a small office room for an over -flow of second and third graders where lack of floor space is hard on both teachers and children. It is not efficient to have a former office used for girls in household arts clothing classes, when the place is so cramped that it. cannot contain suitable, needed equipment. Nor -is it efficient for our practical arts boys to be confined to two small woodworking rooms originally intended for half the present number. And it is not efficient to have to use these two rooms as home rooms when they have no desks nor wardrobes and no space for such requisite furniture. It is unfortunate, also, to be so hampered in shop area as to have to pass up taking advantage of federal funds and equipment for expanding our teaching of the fundamentals of the mechanical trades. For depend upon it, during the war and after the war the demand is going to .be for men skilled with tools rather than for 'white collar" workers. We cannot have an efficient school and its implied ade- quate school -housing while our present typewriting room is much too small for the present numbers taking this study; nor when our cafeteria which -was just about sufficient for the 400, or about, in the early nineteen -thirties is now forced to attempt to serve 563 boys and girls; nor when we have not a scrap of room for a special class for mentally retarded pupils, now required by state law. While it. is true that we are at war and facing extraor- dinary taxes, it is of doubtful wisdom to let the public schools deteriorate in the meantime. As the editor of the American School Board Journal says, "It will be an ever- lasting shame if needed schoolbuilding construction and re- t; 178 modeling are interrupted and the educational service to children is dropped, or reduced to low levels of efficiency. The lesson of the last • war should be kept in mind lest the `shelf' of pressing school -plant needs repeat the embar- rassments and failure of the early twenties." War is a terrible thing, this war in particular! But it is not the only thing in life, nor the last thing. The peace is bound to come. And thus peace is worth planning for, work- ing for and spending for. The schools are making the citi- zens of tomorrow, and the best schools—not make -shift ones— are an investment now as never before. Clear-sighted business. Hien recognize this. "The administration and conduct - of Public Education is an essential public service" declares Tlie 46th Congress of American Industry in its recently un- animously adopted resolution, and "its reasonable financial support constitutes a necessary claim upon our American society to which other public services of lesser value should be subordinated." This issue of school standards being improved, or being allowed to be lowered is in the hands of the people. That is democracy. Tim fathers and mothers of pupils now af- fected and soon to be affected are responsible, first of all. They can vote. The business men of the community who strive for 'success against failure, for efficiency against in- efficiency, hate a responsibility in this matter which they cannot escape. In short, whether inadequate school housing is to be remedied or permitted to continue is to be answered by the citizens and voters of the town. And let it not be said that those of us who live daily with the problem have not raised our voices in behalf of the best interests of our children and youth. CHANGES IN TEACHERS Miss Pearl Clark, teacher of the first grade, resigned last spring on account of marriage. She had been in our department since 1929 and, as a. teacher of our smallest group• of children, had fine success. Miss Marjorie Baker, who has had considerable experience with the first and second grade pupils in the overflow room; took charge -of the regular 179 - first grade in September. Miss Dorothy Mitchell, who had been in charge of the fourth and fifth grade overflow room, has been assigned to the overflow first and second grade room. Miss Pauline Nickerson, a graduate of the Lucy Wheelock Kindergarten School and Boston University, has been appointed to the overflow fourth and fifth grade room. Miss Nance Marquette, teacher of junior English, resigned to accept a position in her home city of Haverhill. Her place has been taken by Miss Carolyn U. Turner, a graduate of the Bridgewater State Teachers College in June, 1941. Miss Sylvia B. Birch, teacher of household arts, clothing, accepted a position in the Orleaas High School. She has been succeeded by Miss Anne S. Tower, a graduate of the Framingham State Teachers College, household arts course, in 1941. Mr. 'William Covell, teacher of junior mathematics, resigned and has been succeeded by Mr. F. Kenneth Howe, a recent graduate of Boston University and with some business experience and some private school teaching. Richard H. Bearse, physical education teacher and coach of boys' ath- letics, accepted a position in Danielson, Connecticut. He has been succeeded by Mr. George J. Hill, of Pittsfield, Mass., a graduate of the Hyannis State Teachers College, physical education course. HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL'S REPORT Herewith its submitted 'my ninth annual report as principal of the John Simpkins School. Last June there were fiftj' graduates. Of these, eight are enrolled in college and seven are attending other schools, sixteen are employed, three have enlisted, one is married, one is at home, and fourteen are unreported. At the present time graduates of the school are in atten- dance at the following institutions: State Teachers Colleges at Framingham and Hyannis, Massachusetts State College, Wheaton, Massachusetts, University of Vermont, Norwich University, Waltham Training School, Brown University, Harvard University, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Cape Cod. Secretarial School, Green.Mountain Junior College, Rensalear Polytechnical Institut; Lesley School, Duke Uni- • s 180 versity, Somerville Training School, Campbell Secretarial School, Massachusetts Maritime Academy, Burdett College, Katherine Gibbs Secretarial School, Navy Service School, Tilton Junior College, The United States Radio School, and the University of Miami. The enrollment by subjects for the year 1942 is as follows: Algebra I 28 Introductory Business 29 Algebra II 10 Latin I 28 Biology 35 Latin II 11 Bookkeeping 23 Manual Arts I 9 Civics 72 Manual Arts II 14 Clothing I 7 Manual Arts III 7 Clothing II 5 Manual Arts IV 4 Clothing III 3 Office Practice 15 Clothing IV 2 Physical Education, Boys 95 English I 67 Physical Education, Girls 90 English II 72 Physics 12 English III 50 Plane Geometry 13 English IV 43 Practical Calculus 1 Fine Arts 32 Problems of Democracy 43 Foods 1 8 Retail Selling 27 Foods II -.' 3 Senior Science 8 Foods III" 3 Shorthand I 13 Foods IV 1 Shorthand II 12 French I -• 16 Slide Rule 1 French II 10 Typewriting I 32 General Math 45 Typewriting II 17 Health, Boys - 58 Typewriting III 17 Health, Girls 88 United States History 45 Instrumental Music 17 World History 55 The School continues to hold the A rating with the State Department pf Education and has full certification privileges with the New England College Entrance Board until Decem- ber 31, 1942: Our most serious problem is our over -crowded condition. Cramped seating facilities in the typewriting room, labora- tory, and library study halls do not make for increased pupil interest. Lack of proper blackboard space, and proper class room conditions for the classes meeting in the Auditorium is another serious handicap. Laboratory work in biology is being reduced in spite of the obvious need for it in view of the nation's crying need for nurses. Needs of boys taking :Manual Arts are being partly met by a new lathe purchased through the Howes Fund; but we need much more space .in order to revise our program to meet adequately the boys'. needs for the years ahead. Our cafeteria is so crowded that we cannot accommodate all our pupils even feeding them in three shifts. 181 • The problem of developing good school morale, interest in school work, and desire for individual progress and further advancement today is difficult under the best conditions. Under crowded conditions it becomes at times very difficult and sometimes well nigh impossible. We sorely feel the lack of a vocal music supervisor. Many parents complain to me that their children do not get proper instruction in vocal music. I sincerely hope that the town will see its way clear to giving us competent vocal supervision in the coming year. _ The value and services of our school library increase month by month. The following table shows the circulation of the past year. Statistics for School Year — 1941 (Sept. - Dec.) Pamphlets 25 Magazines 12 87 000 4 General Works 100 0 .

We wish to thank Dir: and Mrs. Joshua Crowell of West Yarmouth for the gift of a -Garden Ency- clopedia. Our library needs the following magazines: American Observer American Art American Girl American Home Athletic Journal Better Homes Chemistry Leaflet Current History Design Horticulture Hygeia National Business National Geographic Popular Mechanics Popular Science Popular Photography Scholastic Science News Letter Science Digest Time Voice Our cafeteria continues to serve well-prepared nourish- ing foods at very reasonable prices. Upon the recommenda- tion of the County nutritionist we have discontinued the sale of chocolate milk. Our use of Surplus Commodities has increased and we are studying the possibilities of a School Lunch Program. • Our visual devices have been materially increased by the purchase of a Delineoscope for the projection of opaque materials and standard slides, a-mieroprojector for the pro- jection of Jibing material and microscope slides and a Tri - purpose projector for the projection of autochromes, film slides and film -strips. These were all purchased from the Howes Fund. Our building could well do with a complete paint job inside and out. Some of our .blinds have had to be reglued because of lack of paint. The work of our commercial department shows • decided improvement. Some of the work done in mimeographing shows an unusually high degree of excellence. • - Results of standardized tests show a very definite im- provement in Junior high mathematics. In the matter of school attendance we have fallen back. We earnestly urge parents not to keep pupils out of school except in case of illness or death in the family. Tardiness is also on the increase. South Yarmouth pupils account for 1 3 183. fully half our cases of tardiness. One might be inclined to think that the other nine villages might have a higher absent .list since a pupil late for the bus might stay home and so be absent instead of tardy. However, the fact is that the ab- sence figures are pretty nearly the same and one is forced to the conclusion that when one lives near the school one is tempted to cut the time given to get to school so close that one does not always. get there in time. Some forty per cent of our tardiness cases are for five minutes or less. The reason given in more than half the cases is, "I didn't getup in time." The task of keeping the building clean is becoming in- creasingly difficult. Housing and equipment designed . for around 400 students is being forced to accommodate some 550 pupils. The increase in wear and tear due to crowding is surprising. The use of the Auditorium and Selectmen's offices .as classrooms has increased the actual area to be kept clean. Plumbing and cafeteria equipment is also being sub- jected to increased wear. While we should all be wholeheartedly devoted to win- ning the war, we should also be preparing for the peace that follows. Only long rough planning and foresightedness will procure for us and our children- the blessings of prosperity that they will so richly deserve. Of those of our skilled men who go into the war effort, it is estimated that twenty per cent will not. come back, twenty per cent will be unfit for adjustment to peace conditions, twenty per cent will be needed elsewhere in the world and the remaining forty per cent will have to be augmented by the boys now in high school. We should see to it that their educational facilities are maintained and expanded so that their service to their nation in the post .war effort may be as effective as possible. - Yours for victory in war and in the peace to follow ARTHUR E. JENNER, Principal REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN The Schools of the County have been very little inter- fered with during the year by eommunicable disease. In various parts of the United States. infantile paralysis .has i r, 184 been quite prevalent, and caused considerable alarm at times, resulting in the closing.of schools. In this County there have been few cases and no partie-ular alarm has been caused. The \ majority of such cases as did occur apparently have not originated locally, -but had been visiting outside of the County. All of the regular work has been carried on in a satis- factory- manner, including diphtheria prevention, tuberculosis clinics, and the regular physical examinations. Well -Child Conferences have .been generally conducted throughout the County and have been very successful and well attended, un- der the supervision of the school nurses. All concerned have made every effort to the end that defects may be corrected when possible. School lunches have been kept at a high standard. As usual, the cooperation of .all school superintendents, school committees, and other officials has been entirely satis- factory, and as has been stated before, an increasing interest is being taken by all concerned in the matter of schools, con- dition of the children, including attendance at clinics, school lunches, and everything connected with the proper operation of the various schools. A new audiometer has been purchased, which is available for the use of all schools in the County. Every effort will be made to the end that work during the coming year may be efficient. Respectfully, A. P. GOFF, M. D., County Health Officer • SCHOOL NURSE'S REPORT So many young men being deferred from military ser- vice because of physical defects proves to health workers that their efforts must be greatly increased if we are to build a nation of strong men and women able to successfully compete with the forces rampant in the wr:id today. The health program for any child must begin in the 13re- natal period. It is then that foundations are laid that are of the utmost importance all through life. Many defects do not appear until long after birth and perhaps the child is 185 already in school before enlarged tonsils and defective teeth become a problem to the child, the parent, and to the school nurse. The various preventive measures employed today in our schools such as vaccination and immunization against small- pox and diphtheria, chest X-rays to bring to light any infec- tion in the lungs as well as an annual health examination and testing of eyesight.and hearing are pretty generally ac- cepted and appreciated to be of value by all concerned. The correction of remedial defects is sometimes more difficult to accomplish, partly because it usually involves an expendi- ture of money, badly needed for other things that seem more important at the moment, and partly because the value of having the correction made is not appreciated. We hope to place more emphass on prevention and cor- rection in our school program in 1942. The statistical report of our work in 1941 follows. We greatly appreciate the cooperation and understanding given us in our work by the Superintendent, Principal and teachers of Yarmouth.

BAKER, Attendance Supervisor In conclusion I want to express my appreciation of the cooperation which you as members of the school committee have extended to the principal and teachers of our school and to myself. You have approached our problems with broad-minded- ness and fair-mindedness and have tried conscientiously to 187 build upward, slowly, perhaps, as often times seems necessary, but none the less surely. With high standards as the goal,. your patient and persistent efforts, I am sure, will bring .about improved service to our boys and girls. While I have thanked my fellow -teachers many times before for their friendly and loyal assistance, it is always a happy occasion to repeat to them my gratitude. This I do very truly as we close another year. Sincerely yours, C. R.
