The telephone is Hyannis 445. Other times the Chief can be contacted by calling his home at Barnstable 145-4 or the Barnstable Police Radio System, tel. Barn- stable 302, who will put call on the air. If unable to make contact at any of the above, call State Police, Hyannis 930. The following improvements and additions have been accomplished in the Police Department this last year. The cell block and toilet facilities were completed in the building. A structural steel mast was made and erected from parts of two windmills donated to the Town. A small. building was constructed to house the Town Emergency boat and trailer, motor for boat stored in police station. The front of the station was filled, graded and a cement curbing built around same and a nice flagstaff erected, all of the above work done by members of the Department. From the funds appropriated at special town meeting in March the transmitting part of the two-way fixed station has been installed and approved, thus making it possible for the Police Cruiser to be in contact with the Police Sta- tion and the 'Station with the whole County System. Also, the Civilian Defense Air Raid siren has been fitted into the 'new mast and is tested by a noon blast each day, and for some months the Clerk handled the State Warning • 'phone calls for the Report Center. Besides the above, the cruiser is equipped with a two- way radio set, riot gun, first aid kit, accident flares, fire ex- tinguishes and protective rubber sheeting to be used in emergencies. A: deed to land for the Station property and adjoining lot•has been 'given to the Town for the sum of $1.00, which is hoped will be accepted by the Town at. the February meeting. —Board of Selectmen 3.>»4-�, `.,mei` a°. �':n-.,."•=�°q+�` ;E'..: max.: �J.F,�y"�-x. .:.,a....c� 67...

Dear Sirs: It is a pleasure to report that nearly twice the amount of shellfish has been taken from the waters of the Town of Yarmouth this year as compared with last year. The fish- ermen of the town have earned approximately $19,523.50. Quahaugs An estimated two thousand two hundred and sixty-six bushels of quahaugs have been taken from the waters, realiz- ing $6,798.00. This department purchased 180 bushels of quahaug seed from the State and planted it in the various" sections, namely, the North Shore, Bass River and Lewis Bay.. Three hundred -'and forty more bushels were trans- ferred from Mill Creek to Lewis Bay, and the area from Baxter Avenue east to Mill Creek has been closed. Scallops There was a large increase in the amount of scallops harvested this year. Two thousand two hundred and seven- ty-six bushels is the estimate. At $5.00 per bushel, this amounts to $11,380.00. - Seed is plentiful and prospects for another year look promising. Clams Three hundred twenty-six and one-half bushels of clams were dug. At $3.00 per bushel $979.50 was realized. _ Oysters One hundred eighty-three bushels of oysters were taken for family use. Valued at $2.00 per bushel, this crop is worth $366.00. Permits Shellfish permits for the year totaled eighty-five. About ten thousand miles have been covered on patrol. There have been a very few iiolators of shellfish regulations. Respectfully submitted, FRED C. SCHAUWECKER Shellfish Warden 71 COUNTY HEALTH OFFICER'S REPORT The following is a brief report of the work of the Barnstable County Health Department for the year 1942. The regular meetings of various associations have been held, including the Southeastern Association of Boards of Health of Massachusetts, and the Cape Cod Health Bureau Association, with a joint meeting of the Cape Cod Health Council. Mrs. Rowe who is connected with the Welfare Department in New Bedford spoke at the joint meeting at the Hyannis Inn. A number of talks have been given by the Health Officer during the year to various associations, including the Ro- tary Club, Red Cross, and business associations, etc. These talks were usually on the subject of conditions in the Far Fast, particularly in the Philippine Islands. It is' rather difficult for the "old timers" to realize the change of con- ditions in such places as Shanghai, Hongkong, Singapore and Manila, and all the islands of the Philippines. All of the regular clinics have. been held as usual during the year, including diphtheria prevention, crippled children, well child conferences, tuberculosis, cancer, eye, ear and throat, and the nurses have held their regular meetings as usual. The Health Officer attended a meeting of the State Health Officers in Boston during the year. Dr. Joseph S. Bolten of the U. S: Public Health Ser- vice, who has been liaison officer at Camp Edwards for some time, has now assumed charge of quarantine and relief activ- ities in Puerto Rico. • The usual communicable diseases have of course been reported from time to time, but on the whole, there probably has been no particular increase, considering the increase in population. ,, Work in connection • with rehabilitation of men rejected for the army has been continued as usual, and all the nurses throughout the county have assisted in this work in the various towns. - 1. 72 The Health Officer was absent from the office for a time - during the year, and during this time all members of the department, _physicians of the county and all officials in any way connected with health work were extremely obliging . . and helpful and our thanks are extended to them. Camp Edwards has been visited from time to time and officers from the Camp have called on the Health Officer. Nothing of an unusual nature has been reported and mat- ters have progressed smoothly as far as health work is con- cerned. The Commissioner of Public Health, State Health Of- ficer, state director of Communicable diseases and others from the department have visited the office during the year. It is believed that the health work has been carried on successfully during the year and every effort will be made during the coming year to continue the work in this manner. • Respectfully,. A. P. G -OFF, M. D. County Health Officer 73 REPORT of YARMOUTH PLANNING BOARD Two years ago this winter, the State Authorities sent two able men to England to study carefully the plans made for the defense of that country by volunteers. After their return, their report was presented at a very important meeting called by the Massachusetts Civic League and held in Boston May 14, 1941. Town officials from all over the State were present. Yarmouth was represented by our three Selectmen, Chief of Police, and Chairman of the Planning Board. Key men spoke. Plans were formulated for the defense of our Commonwealth. Later on the Committee on Public Safety was created. Thousands of patriotic men and women are today working for the Civilian Defense and for the Red. Cross. . • On December 11, 1941, four days after Pearl Harbor, our efficient Selectmen promptly installed a Listening Post, with Volunteers on' duty that very day, on the North Side of Yarmouth, and shortly after, one on the South Side. The public spirited men and women, all Volunteers, who have served at these posts night and day, deserve our most hearty and grateful thanks, and so do many others of our citizens who have been doing patriotic work. Cape Cod is the Right Arm of Defense. • Our town has sent some of our best young men into the Service and those of us who are left at home, women and men, should do all in our power for the Red Cross, Civilian Defense, Listening Posts, State Guard, Committee work, or in whatever direc- tion our duty lies. We must back up our Boys in the Service. We must preserve the priceless liberty handed down t6 us by our forefathers. THOMAS C.

Save eral regular members are engaged not available on most day calls so the aid of our auxiliaries is more than welcome. Up to this time they have been paid at the regular town labor rate, and in fairness to them we are adding to our payroll figure in order to pay them reg- ular fire department wages. We are also asking for insur- ance on them for the Town's protection in case of injuries they might receive. Due to Government restrictions on necessary building materials, it was impossible to construct the fire station voted at the last Annual Meeting. The need of p p er housing for the trucks is still great and we look forward to the day when this project can be carried out. Respectfully submitted, IRA R.

With the approval of the Finance Committee, the Water Commssioners approved an additional expenditure of $1,000.89 to drive five new wells. However, the condition of the remaining wells is critical and for this reason, the Water Commissioners have inserted an article in this year's Warrant to see if the Town will raise and appropriate the sum of $4,338.00 . to replace nine old wells, and to drive seven new wells with a connecting main. The. Elevated Tank was painted on the outside during the past year, but funds. which had been approved for the paint- ing of the inside of the tank were diverted to help pay for the additional well cost. This year we are asking for $300.00 to do the painting job on the inside of the tank which yon approved last year. During the early part .of November the Water Depart- ment lost the services of the Superintendent, Frank L.

After due consideration of the_qualifiea- tions of the few applicants, who showed their desire to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Baker's death, the Water Commis- sioners appointed, by unanimous vote, Clifton -W.

At the end of December, 1941, we had some 43 cases under Welfare and at the end of December, 1942, we had some 24 cases. Of these 24 cases, 60% are unable to work, yet they are -- -- - __not eligible for Old Age .Assistance. 1 Under the Old Age Assistance Program, we had 81 cases at the end of 1941, while at the end of 1942, we have only 72 cases. This is due to people having moved away from Yarmouth and being transferred to Old Age Assistance elsewhere, or having died during 1942. The majority of the cases lost to Yarmouth, however, were because of transfer elsewhere. N.. r•ott`47,!

This year the Forest Warden's Department has pur- chased a one-half ton Dodge truck mounted with a one -hun- dred -gallon water tank, a portable pump that is demount- able, three hundred feet of forest hose, thirty feet of suc- tion hose and several water cans. We were unable to purchase two-way radio on account of the war, but hope in the near future to be able to buy one, as I believe this will prove a great asset to the Town in combatting, forest fires. The 'Fire Patrol, to my mind, during the dry season, has already proven its worth and will continue .to in the years to come. We have also been able to extend our Fire Lane started last year, which will more than prove its value some day. There was one arrest and conviction for setting and maintaining a fire in the open this year. Thanking you and the townspeople for their ebopera- tion, I remain Very truly yours, SAMUEL R. THACHER Forest Warden -97 REPORT OF AN AUDIT OF THE ACCOUNTS OF THE TOWN OF YARMOUTH - The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Corporations and Taxation. Division of Accounts State House, Boston, Oetober 14, 1942 To the Board of Selectmen Mr. Fred M. Angus, Chairman Yarmouth, Massachusetts Gentlemen: I submit herewith my report of an audit of Oise books and accounts of the town of Yarmouth for the period from September 7, 1941, to August 8, :1942, 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, Assistant 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 September 7, 1941, the date of the previous_audit, to August 8, 1942, 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, were examined and checked. 98 The books and accounts in the accounting officer's—office were examined and checked. The recorded receipts were verified by comparison with the treasurer's records, while the disbursements- as recorded were checked with the select- men's warrants authorizing payments and with the treas- urer's books. The appropriations and transfers voted by the town, as shown by the town clerk's records, were checked to the accounting officer's ledger. The ledger accounts were an- alyzed, a trial balance taken off, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the finan- cial condition of the town on August 8, 1942. The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The cash book was footed and- the recorded .receipts were analyzed and checked with the rec- ords of the several departments 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 warrants authorizing the treasurer to. disburse town'funds. The cash on hand on August 8, 1942, was verified by actual count and the bank balance was reconciled with a statement furnished by the bank of deposit. The debt and interest payments were checked with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities on file. The savings bank booksand securities representing the investment of the trust funds in custody of the, treasurer were examined, the income being proved and the disburse- ments verified. The tax title deeds representing liens on real estate were listed, and the amounts transferred to the tax title account were checked with the collector's books and with the records iti the Registry of Deeds. The books and accounts of the tax collector were ex- amined and checked in detail. The commitments of taxes were examined and verified by comparison with the assessors' 99 warrants. The recorded collections were checked to the commitment books, the payments to the treasurer were ver- ified by comparison with the treasurer's books, the recorded abatements were compared with the assessors' records of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved with the accounting officer's ledger accounts. Verification of the outstanding accounts was made by mailing notices to a number of persons whose names ap- peared on the books as owing money to the town, and from the replies received it appears that the outstanding accounts, as listed, are correct. The records of the selectmen and town clerk as to licenses and permits granted were checked and the payments to the State and the town were verified. The surety bonds of the officials required by law to furnish them, were examined and found- to be in proper form. In addition to the departments mentioned, the ' books and accounts of the public welfare, school, and water de- partments were examined and checked, and the payments to the treasurer were verified. For the cooperation extended by the several town offici- als during the process of the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express 'appreciation: Respectfully submitted, HERMAN B.

ANGUS A. EARL MITCHELL WILLIAM F. NICKERSON Board of Selectmen of Yarmouth • p. '106 REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF WIRES To the Board of Selectmen Yarmouth, Massachusetts Gentlemen: I am pleased to submit herewith a brief summary of my activities as Inspector of Wires, for the year ending Decem- ber 31, 1942, and my observations in this .capacity. Early in the year the citizens adopted a new by-law which gives the Inspector closer supervision over work done in the town, thus providing safer electrical installations. One of the most common origins of fire in the home in the last three decades can be traced directly to a cause which the layman casually accepts under the title of "defective wiring". Practically all of this kind of wiring was installed before rigid regulations were adopted by our. - cities and towns. Last year, -no less. than $25,000,000 damage was caused throughout the country by so-called electrical fires, most of which are preventable if the householder observes a few fundamental rules of electrical safety. New installations should be made in accordance with the National Electric Code, local codes and regulations, and the wire inspector's instructions. Existing installations are often inadequate and dangerous, and should be inspected and modernized by reliable and conscientious concerns. Cir- cuits must not be overloaded by added equipment or by new apparatus and lamps which require more current. This situation is aggravated by the present lack of materials and priority requirements. I have inspected approximately 160 new and remodeled houses, and have made about 100 other inspections covering various fields, such as reporting defective wiring on poles caused by storms, and advising home -owners as to defective wiring observed in their homes. Thanking the citizens of the Town of Yarmouth for their co-operation throughout the past year, I am Respectfully yours, E.

A great deal of credit is given to the splendid manner in which our superintendent, principal, and teachers re- sponded to the registration and ration work assigned to them by our government. - In line with our proposal' stated in our report a year ago regarding special repairs, we record the following: The outside painting of the trimmings of the building and all of the window sashes has been -done. The shutters on the wooden wings have been repaired and painted, broken and missing slate shingles have been replaced on the roofs, rotted wood around some of the gutters and columns has been replaced and painted. The repair -of troublesome and damaging leaks has been accomplished, the metal weather- stripping of the double doors on the north side of the building and of the exit doors in the gymnasium and audi- torium has been attended to; and, on the inside, the painting of the lower part of the walls in the stairways and in some of the corridors has been done. All this, of course, has been in addition to plumbing, electrical, heating, and ventilating repairs that are demanded from time to time by the upkeep of a large building now more than ten years old. A large item for next year under the head of repairs is the inside painting of class rooms. With the exception of the dadoes mentioned above, the walls and ceilings have not been treated since the school house was built. Accord- ingly, we are asking for a like amount of money under re- pairs as last year with which to accomplish these improve- ments. - 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: -• _ - Herewith -is presented the fifty-first report in the series of annual reports by the. union superintendent of schools.

It is not surprising that this titanic struggle has made its impact on our schools as well as our other institutions . and, indeed, on all phases of American life. - There is an acute shortage of teachers. There have been sweeping. changes in our own teaching corps. • Living expenses have risen. Prices of textbooks and materials used in instruction have gone up. . 177 The cost of fuel, which is a substantial item in school expense, has gone higher. So have fourteen other items of materials used in operation. The high school program of studies is being intensely affected by war needs, as follows: Pre -aviation courses are in demand. Forty percent . of all of our boys now in American high schools Will be in avi- ation within the next year or so. There is a demand that more attention be given to training students in physical fitness, as preparation for service in both the armed forces and essential war work. More emphasis in the teaching of mathematics and science is vital to the prosecution of the war and for the highly mechanized age that will prevail in peace times. Public opinion rightly is asking that more stress be laid on the study of United States aistory. Our youth must see what it has cost to gain our American freedoms and be inspired to defend them at any sacrifice. • Stenographers and typists are needed in large num- bers. High seliiool girls in the junior and senior classes (16 to 18 years of age) must be given advanced training so that on graduation they are efficient workers. Hence, as a part of the war effort, commercial instruction in our high schools must be kept up to .a high standard: - Another vital concern in these present times is the training of larger numbers of high school girls to enter the field of nursing. -Their preliminary training . for this pro- fession must be given by the high schools. ' A SHATTERED TEACHING CORPS Out of twenty-three teachers serving our department in one capacity or another, we have lost fourteen since last. June. Two were by marriage, two by. entry into the army and navy. The remainini ten went to - other and more sat- isfactory atisfactory teaching -positions. Such a turnover surpasses • 178'. anything in previous history! It is one of the unfortunate effects of the war.. It can, by no means, be completely over- come for the "duration". But it can be helped in some degree, I believe, by stabilizing and improving .salary con- ditions. • - In the industries, in federal. and state. civil service, and in a large number of school systems, adjustments have been made .to meet the rising cost of living and to help 'retain workers on their jobs. • Recognition and appreciation is here expressed for the five and ten percent increases granted by our Last town meeting in which most of our teachers shared. This help, however, extends only to the end of February, 1943. It would seem to be better for the teachers, as a whole, to have an adjustment administered by the school committee, itself, through the means of a salary setup covering these points: Recognition of increased -cost of living, merit, (quality oaf work being performed), length of ser vice, and professional. 'growth. 'In these disturbed days it is more necessary than ever to have such a salary scale so that it will be less easy for teachers on our own staff, with salaries in the lower brackets and with no assurance of .pay promotion, to be drawn away from us .by, communities offering such assurances. An established, orderly step-up pay procedure world be appreciated by the teachers and helpful to a high pro- fessional morale.. • And this in spite of the fact that an extraordinary case of war -time necessity in hiring a teacher might demand the suspension of the rule for the time being. • SCHOOL CAFETERIA Since its -start in September,1931, when the new school opened, our school cafeteria has been self-sustaining. Last spring the effect of rising prices had its effect upon the cost of doing business and some modification of prices has become inevitable. - ti• 4. 179 PRINCIPAL 'S R EPORT My dear Mr. Stacy I am happy to present my tenth annual report. "The 'secondary schools in America- are mobilizing their full resources and entering a conversion program to train and prepare all youth for wartime service in the armed forces or in the essential civilian occupation." —N. E. A. Bulletin Number 108 At least one hundred and twelve students are already - in the various branches of the service. The number who have already received ratings and commissions testifies to • the high standard of intellectual and physical- training which they have received and the sterling character of the young nen themselves. - - Last year's graduating class had forty-two members. Of these nine are in the service, nine are attending higher schools, two 'are post graduates, fourteen are employed and - two are married. Enrollmentsby subjects are as follows: 40 Physical Education (Girls) 11 Chemistry ' 24 Plane Geometry . - 21 Problems of Democracy 84 Retail Selling 31 Shorthand I 87 Shorthand 11 44 Typewriting I 50 Pre -Flight 40 Senior Science 17 General .

I should like to emphasize that the school only certifies those students who maintain a mark of B or better_ in the . college .preparatory subjects. I should also like to point • out that the requirements of . colleges vary and for this reason it is well for students to select their coileee before the beginning of their. junior year. The war has brought some changes to our curriculum. Our physical training program for the boys has been in- creased to give training in marching, the manual of arms and commando or ranger training. In accord , with the request of the State Department, pre-flight training in avi- ation was offered this fall. The size of the class has grown steadily and now numbers ten. There has also been a definite attempt to include such material in all our other courses as will "air-condition" all our pupils.. • In spite of transportation difficulties our football squad played a full schedule and although the number of wins was not great, we had the largest football squad in the history of the school and came through without any major injuries. I wish to compliment Coach Richardson upon the excellent conditioning which the boys received. In spite of rumors, I have every hope that the basketball teams will play, a full schedule, for as fine as intra -mural work is, (and I think we should have more of it) it does not furnish .the condition- ing and morale building factors that meeting strange teams in other gymnasiums does. - The school is organizing a Victory -Corps and now has fifty-two applicants. The Victory Corps idea is simply to provide a tangible recognition of the role being assumed by our boys and girls in war preparation and service on a nation-wide scale. The insignia are not awards but simply signs of participation. The Victory Corps is planned, pro- moted, and directed by educators working through the U. S. Office of Education, which group constitutes the Wartime Commission. ' 181 There is a decided stiffening in'the attitude of the Navy, Army and Marine Corps in the matter of the so-called War Diplomas. Naval Aviation has already refused to ac- cept students who. do not have the full number of credits for graduation. The new Army Institute Program is being planned in order that diplomas may be earned rather than awarded without completing the necessary credits for grad- uation. Under this plan courses will be offered through correspondence study either by the Army Institute or through the facilities of some sixty-seven colleges and uni- versities contracted by the Army. A complete record of the • students' military experience, of an educational nature, in- cluding military service schools attended, Army Institute courses completed, and scores of tests covering educational experience obtained will be sent to the candidate's high school or college for evaluation cif credits. Thus, the ex- perience of World War I, of granting credits'on the basis of time served in the armed forces, is avoided. The task of adjusting to war needs has been materially helped by purchases made possible by the Howes Fund. Film strips on aviation and meteorology, books for the libra- ry and music closets, and two new street drums have been made available through the Howes Fund. The new office for the girls' coach (made by partitioning off a section of the girls' shower room) is proving to be most helpful. Rationing and higher prices have caused some incon venience in our cafeteria, but these inconveniences have been taken in good spirit.. We know they are temporary. The Penny Milk Program boosted our consumption of milk from 120 to 150 bottles per day to 420 to 450 per day. It is the law of life that men must come and men must go; but the influence of their life and character abide. '1`o the memory of Willis C. Taylor, we bring our tribute and gratitude. In remembrance of his work and his life, we bow our heads in a moment of silent gratitude and prayer. "i' 1 ai 182 ILA I should like to=suggest consideration of a part-time position for a girls' counselor, some one to whom our girls could go for confidential aid and guidance. Such a person might spend one day or even a half day at the school each week. She would work in close cooperation with our girls' physical education teacher and our school nurse as well as with the teachers. It is my firm conviction that the good to be derived would more than compensate for the small cost. and fine In conclusion, I wish to express my gratitude to you the Committee and the entire school personnel for the cooperation shown during the past year. _ Respectfully submitted, ' - ARTHUR E.JENNER Principal REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN All of the regular activities of, this department as con- nected with schools in the county have been carried on as usual. Special attention has been given to the matter of school luw hes. Instruction has been given regarding the Massachusetts Vision Test, an improved method of school vision testing, and we expect to procure the "necessary equipment so that this test may be used in all schools in the county. The usual clinics for immunization against diphtheria were held in all schools, and this is now being accepted as a matter of course, much the same as vaccination against smallpox now is. All children have been given the regular physical ex- aminations, and physical training is being emphasized in many of the schools. Tuberculosis clinics have been held throughout the coun- ty, and tests made whenever necessary. Iirl�:ilYlrJ 1 Y y I■ Amigo 183 All schools are visited regularly by the school physicians and school nurses as well. A certain amount of scarlet fever has occurred in a few places, but outside of this there has been little interference by communicable diseases with school activities. The cooperation of all school superintendents, and school committees, and allof those interested is always very complete and satisfactory and makes the work of the doc- tors and nurses much easier and more effective. We will make every effort to the end that the work ' for the coming year is satisfactory, and to see that all clinics are maintained and defects corrected as far as possible. Respectfully, A. P. GOFF, M. D. County Health Officer and Acting School Physician NURSE'S REPORT The school nursing work in 1942 has followed about the same pattern as in previous years. Wherever groups of. children get together certain problems of health are bound to arise. We try to forestall undesirable -situations and meet the ones that develop with judgment and common sense. The cooperation of the parent as well as of the school is essential if we are to attain any degree of success. We feel most for- tunate to be able to state that co-operation is on a very high level in Yarmouth. The physical examination given each year by the school physician brings to light various defects that we try to rem- edy by arranging for the child's attendance at dental, ton- sil, eye, orthopedic or chest clinic, depending on the nature of the defect. This means follow-up work in the home ex- plaining to the parent the why and wherefore of the treat- ment needed. • Aft••sF``1.Yro'lk:._`� - -a..a. eeoz:.cnsugssrwn` 184• Our preventive work includes vaccination .for. smallpox and toxoid treatments for • the prevention' of. diphtheria. These measures have more than proved their value' here and elsewhere by the virtual elimination of the diseases named. The war effort will decrease the nursing strength in this. community as it has everywhere, but we hope to be able to do the essential things and carry on to victory in 1943. The statistical report of our work follows: Town of Yarmouth Statistical Report — School Nurse —1942 School visits 67 Inspections Classroom , 137 Individual 259 Consultations Superintendent\ 24 Teachers 148 School Physician 4 Parents 3 • First-aid treatments 56 Annual Physical Examinations 550 Number Children weighed 935 Home visits Number of homes Number of children Vision re -tested Bearing tested with Audiometer.

(b) That teachers marrying men in the armed forces of the United States be permitted to continue their teaching, if they so desire, until their husbands are returned to civil life. This, ,of course, is. provided that their own services continue to be satisfactory to the school vi hool committee. (c) That a simple, but definite salary schedule be adopted in the immediate future as a help to stabilize the employment of teachers, without waiting for the war to end. (d) . That favorable consideration be given to the Prin- cipal's suggestion that a part-time girls'. counselor be used and that a competent person be hired for this purpose for. at least one-half day a week. With deep appreciation of the whole -hearted coopera- tion extended by all—teachers, principal, school committee and citizens—in carrying on our schools in these most diffi- cult days, I remain December. 31, 1942 , - Sincerely yours, C. R. STACY Superintendent of Schools 186 - IN MEMORIAM WILLIS CLINTON TAYLOR Head Janitor in the John Simpkins School From 1931 to 1942 Died October 19, 1942 Taking up his work on the opening of the new consol- idated school building in September, 1931, he gave faithful and loyal service for eleven consecutive years.

KNOWLES • Town Clerk 44 REPORT of YARMOUTH PLANNING BOARD • An eventful .year has passed. There are 154 names on the Honor Roll of our town, and to these patriotic sons serving their country, our Select- men recently sent a greeting of appreciation.. • Volunteers have done their part at the Listening Posts, Ration Boards, Civilian Defense, Red Cross, ete. The cam- paign for the Victory Gardens was most successful, closing with an old-fashioned Agricultural Fair, which we hope may be repeated next year. Letus glance at the future. Yarmouth is going for- ward, not backward. Steps should be taken for future planning. The State Highway By -Pass, on the point of being built by the State a few, years ago to avoid the highly dangerous congested narrow turns in the villages of East Sandwich, West Barnstable, Barnstable and Yarmouth, is a vital neces- sity after the war. Let us hope that the State carries out its .plans for tHis. There were many serious automobile ac- cidents in the above area the past year. Within a week last month. there were two fatal automobile accidents in the vil- lage of Barnstable on Route 6. Over 'a year ago took place the Cocoanut Grole Disas- ter, and early this month a disastrous fire in the business centre of Hyannis: a fire which might be repeated in other congested centres of the Cape. Our town has a good- fire department, but it has no building laws or similar wise reg- ulations to lessen the fire risk. Our citizens owning cranberry bogs have done well. The Shellfish industry should be encouraged. The Cape shellfish, like the cranberries, stand at the top and there is great opportunity for the Shellfish . industry to enlarge and to give increased employment to our citizens. Shellfish to the value of $140,000 were taken from the waters of the Town of Barnstable in 1943, a banner year, against $108,000 in 1937. Our shellfish industry, while not in the same class with that of Barnstable, has opportunities for growth. Yar- mouth has been appropriating $2,000 per year the last sev- 45. eral years to pay for the services of an officer as well as the costs of propagation. Our scallops and gnahaugs have been plentiful enough to furnish considerable commercial fishing. The value of all the shellfish taken or the year in Yarmouth waters is nearly $13,000. The past season there was the larg- est set of scallops ever seen in Mill Creek, West Yarmouth, which promises a very high set of scallops for 1944. Our town officials' request for the appropriation for the Shell- fish industry should receive the approval of the voters. Let us support this native industry. The Yarmouth Planning Board was represented at the Governor's Conference on Wartime Recreation and Post - War Planning held in the State House on December 9th. The Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce recently formed a committee of leading citizens of the Cape to be knownas the Post -War Council of the Cape Cod Chamber of Com- merce. Let us take all steps possible to improve conditions, so that when .our boys return home, they may find a better town. - • THOMAS C.

Gentlemen: - During the year 1943 fishermen have taken shellfish • from the waters of the Town of Yarmouth valued approx- imately $12,509.00. Q uolw.ugs An estimated one thousand five hundred forty-two bush- els of quahaugs have been taken, realizing $6,168.00. During the months of July and August two hundred six bushels of quahaug seed were transferred from Mill Creek in West Yarmouth to Lewis Bay. Scallops A marked decrease in amount of scallops harvested was noted this year. The estimate is one thousand thirty-three bushels. Scallops averaged $5.00 per bushel, bringing in $5.165.00. - - The tate and Town - working together transferred 16561/, bushels of scallop seed to the deeper water of Lewis Bay. It is hoped that by so doing to prevent the seed from being winter killed in case of a severe winter. Scallop seed is now very plentiful in Lewis Bay and prospects for next year are good. Clams ,— Two hundred sixteen bushels of clams were dug. Val- ued at $3.00 per bushel, this makes a total of $648.00. The greater part of the clam flats were closed for commercial use because of the large amount of seed clams in those areas. Oysters One hundred seventy-six bushels of oysters were taken for family use. " At 1,3.00 a bushel this crop was worth $528.00. 47 The department purchased one hundred six bushels from the State and planted them in various sections of the Town namely, Mill Creek, Parker's River and Bass River. Shellfish permits issued for the year totaled 96. The warden has covered about 11,000 miles on patrol. There have been twenty-six warnings for violations and one court case.

Thacker I •t" REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF WIRES To the Board of Selectmen, Yarmouth, Massachusetts Gentlemen: I hereby submit a brief summary of my activities for the year ending December 31st, 1943. Due to the war, new building has for the past year been greatly curtailed. At the present writing materials are being released for civilian use. Approximately 200 inspections have been made, a great deal of this work having been re -inspecting old services, most of which have been in use since electricity first came into the town. Some cases of defective wiring have been found and eliminated, and many recommendations for future altera- tions have been made which will mean greater safety. Some 1500 miles were traveled in the carrying out of the above duties. Respectfully,' E: FRUEAN, Jr. Inspector of Wires N 1 50 FOREST WARDEN'S REPORT January 3, 1944 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen of the Town of Yar- mouth: I hereby submit my annual report for the year 1943. Telephone calls received Radio calls. Number of fires Number of roads brushed out Number of arrests Fires extinguished without alarm given Telephone calls from fire tower •Incinerators inspected Fire menace checked Number of days patroled Boys throwing matches around Number of permits issued 89 :•:8 16 4 2 12 66 400 25 60 2 120 Again this year we have been able to keep our Forest fires at a minimum. which I believe has been due to the patrol that started last year and to the townspeople," who seem to realize how serious a forest fire can be and have been more than careful in exercising the use of permits. This year the Forest Warden Department has pur- chased a new fire extinguisher for the truck mounted on the inside of cab and also overload springs, and has had one tire recapped. We were unable to purchase two-way radio on account of the war, but I hope we will be able to purchase one this coming year, for I believe this will prove a great asset to the town- in'combating forest fires. I have in the truck at the present time a receiver that belongs to the Police De- - 51 partment. We have also been • able to extend our fire lanes, which will more than prove their value some day. There were two arrests and convictions for setting and maintaining a fire in the open thi3 year. There were also four hundred incinerators inspected this year. Five incinerators were removed from Town Park section and fifty were condemned.. Very truly yours, RICHARD G. ELLIS Forest Warden 52 COUNTY HEALTH OFFICER'S REPORT Hyannis, Massachusetts December 31, 1943 The following is a brief report of the work of•the Barn- stable County Health Department for the year 1943. The regular meetings of the Cape Cod Health' Bureau Association and the Cape Cod Health Council are being held twice a year, jointly, for the present. The meetings were in April and November at the Hyannis Inn, .this year, and were very well attended by the Boards of Health of the various towns and others representing organizations inter- ested in health work. The November meeting was a sympo- sium on health matters, led by the State District Health Of- ficer. There was considerable discussion of health questions by those present and the meeting proved to be very inter- esting. All of the usual clinics have been held during the year, including diphtheria prevention, tuberculosis, cancer, eye, ear, and throat, crippled children, and well child confer- ences. The nurses' organization has held its regular meet- ings as usual. There has been no particular increase in the occurence of communicable diseases. A certain amount of scarlet fever, usually of a very mild form, has been reported. As has been mentioned before, this disease is sometimes diffi- cult to recognize in the mild form and may be mistaken, temporarily, for some other disease. However, it is believed that practically all these cases have been properly diagnosed in this county. There has been a considerable amount of Anterior poliomyelitis (infantile paralysis) reported in va- rious parts of the country, but only one case occurred in this county, which was taken to the Haines Memorial Hospital in Boston. A case developed in a child several days after it left the Cape, but no other case, connected with this one, could be found. One case of diphtheria in a woman ofabout fifty years of age was reported recently in the county. She, of course, was given diphtheria antitoxin and was not very b3 sick at any time. Some years age, a case was reported in a woman of 70 years. These two were about the last to occur on the Cape. Careful examination of eating places, especially in those communities near Camp Edwards, has been made. Results. so far, have shown the places to be in good condition. All of the employees of the Health Department have carried on their regular work satisfactorily, and every effort will be made, during the coming year, to continue the work in this manner.

This is also true of the building fires with the exception of the Hinckley Lumber Co. fire, to which we felt it neces- sary to call Company No. 1. With their aid we were able to save one large building directly exposed.

The Board of Water Commissioners hereby submit the annual report of the Water Department for the year 1943. 222 39 39,692,450 $846.40 411.25 13,987,700 $1,509.29 4,000.00 . 1,225.00 4,338.00 Present number of Water Services Services vacant Gallons of water pumped - Stock on hand, estimated value Outstanding accounts Gallons of water pumped to Barnstable Fire District Cash received from Barnstable Fire District from October 1, 1942, to October 1, 1943 Payment on Bond Indebtedness " Interest on Bond Indebtedness Six new services were installed ' Sixteen new wells and Water Mains The sum of $4,338.00 appropriated by the town at the last town meeting was expended in replacing nine old wells and driving seven new ones with a connecting main. This . resulted in an increased flow from the ,wellfield of 30 gallons per minute, which amounts to a 17% increase in the flow. We believe this expenditure was well, justified. The interior of the elevated tank was painted and this work, along with the previous work done on the exterior, leaves the tank in such good condition that it should not require any financial outlay for several years. The Board of Water Commissioners feel that, with- the wellfield and elevated tank in good condition, our chief troubles in the next few years will be with the pumping station equipment and the water mains. Relative to this, a serious break in a 10 -inch main occurred during the early summer. This cost the Water Department approximately $300.00 to repair. Because of the small working balance allowed us at the last town meeting it was necessary to ask for additional funds. 1 i� • f 58 During 1944 the contract with the Barnstable Fire Dis- trict expires. It is the intent of your Board of Water Com- missioners to demand a substantial increase in the price for which we sell this waters.

Due to the shortage of grain and difficulties in pur- chasing game birds, and inability to liberate rabbits, your committee deemed it advisable to turn the balance back to the Reserve Fund. Under normal conditions $200.00 is a fair amount needed for the expense involved. Yours very truly ROBERT WOODRUFF, Chairman EDMUND FRUEAN, dr. MATTHEWS C.

Angus, Chairman Yarmouth, Massachusetts Gentlemen: I submit herewith my report of an audit of the bo.ks and accounts of the town of Yarmouth for the period from August 9, 1942, to August 14, 1943, made in accordar ce with the provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws. This is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. Herman B. Dime, Assistant Director of Accounts. Very truly yours, THEODORE N. WADDELL Director of Accounts 31r. 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 August 9. 1942, the date of the previous examination, to August 14, 1943, the following report being submitted thereon: The financial transactions, as recorded on the books of the several departments receiving or disbursing money for • 75 the town or committing bills for collection, were examined, checked, and verified by comparison "with the records in the - offices of the accounting officer andct1ie treasurer. The books and accounts in the :offiice of the accounting officer were examined and checked: The receipts as recorded on the ledger were checked with the records of the several departments 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 .hook. The appropriations as recorded on the ledger were checked with the town clerk's records of town meetings. The necessary adjusting entries resulting from the audit were made, a trial balance was taken -off, and a balanee sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared show- ing the financial condition of the town on August 14, 1943. This balance sheet indicates that rhe town is in very good financial condition. The books and accounts of the town treasurer were ex- amined and checked. .The recorded receipts were analyzed and coinpared with the records in the departments 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 warrants authorizing the disbursement of town funds. The cash balance on August 14, 1943, was proved by reconciliation -of the bank balances . with statements furnished by the bank in which town funds are deposited. The payments of maturing debt and interest were checked with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities on file. The savings bank books and securities representing trust fund investments in the custody of the treasury were exam- ined and listed. The income was proved and the withdrawals were checked with the receipts as entered in the treasurer's cash book. The records of tax titles held by the town were examined 76 and checked. The amounts added to the tax title account were compared with the collector's records, the taxtitles redeemed were checked with the receipts as recorded on the treasurer's cash book, and the tax titles on hand were listed and proved. - The books and accounts of the tax collector were ex- amined and checked. The taxes and assessments outstand- ing at the time of the previous examination and all subse- quent commitments were audited and reconciled with the assessors' warrants. The payments to the treasurer were checked to the treasurer's cash book, the recorded, abatements were compared with the assessors' records of abatements granted. and the outstanding accounts were listed and recon- ciled with the respective ledger accounts. The commitments of departmental and water . charges were examined aird checked. The reported payments to the treasurer were compared with the treasurer's cash book, the abatements were verified, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the accounting officer's ledger. The outstanding tax, assessment, departmental, and water accounts were verified by mailing notices to a num- ber of peons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, and from the replies received thereto it appears that the accounts, as listed, are correct. The town clerk's records of dog and sporting licenses and bf permits and fees were examined. The payments to the State were verified by comparison with the .receipts on file, and the payments to the town treasurer were compared with the treasurer's cash book, and the cash on hand was verified. The surety bonds furnished by the several officials re- quired to file such surety were examined and found to be in proper form. • The records of receipts from selectmen's lieenses and permits. of the sealer of weights and measures, of the school department, and of all other departments in which money --77 was collected for the town, were examined, checked, and reconciled with the treasurer's and _the accounting officer's books Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, are tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's and the collector's cash, summaries of the tax, assessment, tax title, departmental, and water ac-zounts, as well as tables showing the condition and transactions of the trust funds. While engaged in making the audit, co-operation was received from all town officials, for which, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appreciation.

The Soldiers' Relief case load is probably at its lowest point and can be expected to start back up. in the near future. The number of Old Age Assistance cases have been fairly constant thruout the year but the cost per ease has gone up about 13% due to two increases in the budget and to our high medical cost. We on the Cape are not as for- tunate as those in the city where there are clinics of all kinds where for a nominal fee people can receive medical atten- tion. Our medical rate for the year on Old Age Assistance • 91 - was slightly over 6% of the total expenditures, which is too high. On Aid to Dependent .Children the case load shows an increase of only one case but the number of children has in- creased from 16 to 24 and the costs must be eonsidered by the number receiving assistance rather than the case load itself. In all categories of assistance there has been an increase in the cost per case due to the increased cost of living and it can .be expected to show a further increase next year. RICHARD B.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE To the Citizens of Yarmouth: After considerable study, we are happy to announce that a start has been made in a teacher's salary schedule. The Massachusetts minimum salary law for public school teachers which became effective in 1943 set -a minimum wage of $1200 for a full-time teacher. Every attempt has been made to make some appropriate adjustment for the more experienced teachers up to the tentative maximum now in effect. • - Although the subject of salaries is an extremely Con- troversial one in this war period, we feel that a forward, constructive step has been taken in selecting some form of teacher's salary schedule which will operate favorably in the future: The committee has been extremely pleased with the renovation completed in the class rooms on the 'first floor. The teachers and pupils. have been particularly delighted with the cheerfulness, cleanliness and added light the paint- ing has afforded. Warped floors were relaid, loose plaster removed and replaced, and the painting of the' ceilings, walla, radiators, woodwork and peervent units completed a thor- ough job. Our 1944 budget includes plans for similar work in our high school rooms on the second floor. A heating problem has been a most vexing one for us this year. Like most modern buildings our school was designed to use oil as the source of heat, consequently all the problems of changing to coal have seemed almost unsur- mountable. In the early part of the year our government ordered our changeover from oil to coal and after many letters and several trips to Boston we were permitted to "retain one boiler fired by oil, changing the second boiler to coal feed. To effect this, grates were purchased and installed and a coal bin (much to our chagrin) built on our front lawn. A portion of wall was removed to permit a chute to conduct 142 the coal to the boiler. All of which arrangements, we hope to be extremely temporary. With some extra janitor ser- vice this expense has totalled nearly $1,000. At the pres- ent time our government is allowing the use of about -2/3 coal and 1/3 oil in heating our school building. This ar- rangement, although a very unsatisfactory one, is apparent- ly the .best under the prevailing war conditions. The committee notes with deepest regret the passing of a former member of our teaching corps and a member of • the Yarmouth School Committee, Miss Hannah A. Knowles of Yarmouthport. Her unstinted, generous and efficient services to her native town throughout her life will be held in grateful remembrance. Our school bus three-year contracts expired this year and the committee felt that since new buses should replace the antiquated snake -shift ones now in use at the very earli- est possible moment. contracts were placed on an annual basis until new buses are -available. • January. 10, 1944 Respectfully submitted, ALBERTO W. SMALL, Chairman HERVEY L. SMALL WINTHROP V. WILBUR 143 REPORT of SUPERINTENDENT of SCHOOLS To the School Committee of Yarmouth, Massachusetts Gentlemen: Herewith is presented the fifty-second report in the series of annual reports by the union superintendent of schools. COST OF THE SCHOOLS The net local taxation cost for support of schools 1943 was: Expended: Income: $59 882 25 Tuitions: Dennis State Wards Mass. School Fund Sale of Supplies for $11 649 34 242 81 3 416 50 111 39 Total $15 420 04 Net local taxation cost 44 462 21 $59 882 25 - $59 882 25 TEACHERS While the war continues to make its impact on the schools, it is a pleasure to report that our teacher turn -over •last summer was less than in the season of 1942. There is still an acute shortage of teachers but the correction of cer- tain salary inequalities by your school committee and the passage last spring by the State legislature of a fixed -min- imum salary law for public school teachers at $1200 a year, has enabled us to avoid some changes that otherwise would have been inevitable. In the fall of 1942 we .had eight out of seventeen women teachers getting from two to three hun- dred dollars less than the now legal minimum. I 144 This niinimitin law now required of all towns with, e- valuation of to=o :and a half ._ millions of dollars or more; cannot fail to influence salary schedules, like -ours for women . teachers, which were made t� begin at lower figures. These teachers receive certain step-ups on the basis of successful experience. This is with the intent of retaining for a longer time the teacher's service Which •has become more valuable to the community as she has progressed and grown in her initial years 'of professional experience. With a. raised min- imum there must logicall}- come 'an adjusted maximum with adjusted•steps in between. Otherwise the schedule is nulli- fied and its influence on stabilization of tfieteaching force will be missing. Of course. the passing of the minimum salary law was an effort .to meet the increased cost of living and the heavy war -time taxation which faces the teacher as she commences her career. And 40 the beginner it does bring relief. But teachers who are no longer beginners and whose salaries are above the minimum are facing the same economic burdens, and they are unaffected by this law, except as a higher mini- mum influences the succeeding step-ups. Adjusted compensation can be brought about by an adjusted salary schedule, or by an applied percentage for- mula suc}t as the Little Steel's fifteen percent; or, by a flat sum of money added to the year's salary for each person. If a clear-cut, comprehensive salary schedule was in effect before the war, a flat sum per- person as a -bonus, to lessen the war -time burden may be preferred. But if not, it would be advisable to adopt a compre- hensive salary schedule, including men and women, elemen- tary and high school grades, which would do two things: First, iron out any discrepancies that might exist in the pay of different teachers in the same category, and; second. fix step-ups to correspond with the new level set by the -minimum salary law for beginners. For example, if the old minimum was $1.000 and the maximum $1400, the new - minimum being $200' greater ($1200) the new maximum should go to $1600. • 145 The .following teachers left this year: Miss Anne B. Brookings, who went to a better. paying position on Long Island, New York ; Mr. _Fred L. Kelley, who accepted a . much more attractive position in Groton, Connecticut; Miss Pauline Nickerson, who took up industrial war work in New .lersey; Mr.' Richard P. Joseph, who• had an opportunity to take a much higher salary in Medway, Massachusetts, and Mr. Ralph Richardson, who entered the armed services. The following teachers have joined us: Miss Patricia Dahill of Taunton, Massachusetts, .a .graduate of Bridge- water State Teachers College, 1943; Miss Toini Hemmila of Hyannis, a graduate of the Hyannis State Teachers College, 1943 ; Mrs. Mary L. Woelfinger, who has had a successful career in teaching English in Wisconsin and Minnesota and who was available because of her husband's being at Camp Edwards; Mr. John Tulis of Barnstable, who has had suc- cessful experience in general teaching and in physical edu- cation. • - REPAIRS Class rooms on the first floor, eight in all, were re- painted during the past summer, marking the first recon- ditioning since the school building was opened twelve years ago. The rooms on the second floorr should receive similar attention this coming summer and -thus the proper main- tenance will have been kept up in the main building so far as interior decorating is concerned. Other general repairs to the water, heating and sew- erage systems have been made, incidental to the wear and tear of a school plant that is growing older year by year. However, the major and most out -of -the -ordinary job. of the year was the conversion of one -of our boilers from oil - to coal burning, a change forced upon us by the national government's insistence on public buildings using coal so as to conserve oil. It is fortunate, in light of later devel- opments with regard to coal production, that • but one of our two boilers was so converted. Accordingly, we now 146 have the combined service of both fuels. but with heavy emphasis still on the use of coal. This' conversion naturally invoked quite heavy expense which was not provided for in our annual budget and our total year's expenditures have been unusually enlarged. In connection with this matter of heating, it is to be noted that the cost of fuel of all .kinds has sharply risen and our budget allowance for this item must, of necessity, be niore ample than it used to be. • .Furthermore, the use of coal requires a larger amount of janitor work because of the stoking that has to be done. This means less time for the general care and cleaning of the building. Also, it entails over -time labor which was not needed when the automatic oil burners were doing the full service. In short. this--(3onversion, unfortunately, is more expen- sive, more troublesome in operation and less clean in its effect on the condition of the building and on the immediate neighborhood of the school. Therefore, it is to be hoped that not too many years from now the heating again can be taken care of as formerly, entirely by oil. - POST-WAR TIME While we now are engaged strenuously in winning the war, the day is coming, soon we hope, when our energies must be directed to transforming from a war -time to a peace -time economy. The war will not have left the Coun- try the same as it was at the beginning of hostilities and education must face the challenge. There must be a more thorough study of 'United States History, a better acquain- tance with, and appreciation of, the culture. and industry of the allied nations, a more lively awareness of how closely all quarters of• the world, today are knit together by air- planes, radios and television. There must be inculcated a greater tolerance among peoples of different races. nation- alities. religions and political philosophies. i , 147 There is certain to be more emphasis put upon teaching skills in manual and machine processes in the secondary school, and at this point I would like to quote from a thought- ful and interesting report -made by our mechanical art teacher, Mr. Edward M. Webster. It is as follows: "At this time -it is my wish to express my appreciation to Mr. Stacy, Mr: Jenner and to the school committee for the many things which they. have done in cooperating to make our offering to boys in :Manual Arts more practical. Particular mention should be made of items of equipment made possible through use of the Howes Fund. May I also express my appreciation of the thoughtfulness and generos- ity of the group of Victory Gardeners who gave funds for shop items of equipment. "1 would also like to mention that three of our senior Manual Arts pupils, who have shown the interest and abil- ity. have had their programs so arranged that they. -each afternoon. attend the Federal aided Machinist Course classes whieh are now being offered at Barnstable High School. ".One of our unusual projects to which 1 would call. particular attention is the cranberry scoops completed by each of the seven senior boys. The scoop is of regulation size, having twenty-two curved tines and truly is an exhibit of unexpected workmanship from high school boys. "It. is pertinent at this time to mention the. many let- ters from boys who are now in the armed services who have taken the trouble to write and comment on various experi-. epees they have had in shop which have been- so helpful to them. This particularly stirs me to seek out and make available more equipment Which w•)uld enlarge the number of mechanical experiences we might offer the present and future groups of boys. "The period immediately ahead of us is to be without question one of the greatest of all manufacturing eras with tremendous changes both in materials and commodities which will involve thousands upon thousands of our young people. 148 National trends show the need of making Manual Arts a More integral part of • every school system. Much more time could be devoted to experience in the shop and drafting rooms for all pupils. There is every indication that a grow- ing need for technical knowledge, not only for vocational .ends but for the purpose of being intelligent about modern life will exist in the post-war era. The airplane's 'develop- ment and its use in civilian life, the radio and all forms of electronics are in their infancy. They offer unlimited re- search and development opportunities. Chemical - discov- eries; particularly in the way of raw material, supplies, manufactured goods of all kinds. particularly plastics, are all avenues where practical physical'Mechanical knowledge will play an important role of the future. More .and more things are constantly being done by machines and mechan- ical devices which are going to require that boys and girls be educated in the immediate future not only to operate these machines intelligently, but to think about them and develop sufficient inventiveness to improve on ,them and to devise new ones., "The promise of the future is limitless and the chal- lenge to our _Yarmouth and Dennis boys and girls is bounded only 'by oun ability to make facilities available to them to meet this new America." • POST-WAR OR NEAR POST-WAR PROJECTS We should be ready to do our part with other com- munities in the nation to help in taking up the slack that will come as the -high tempo of war industry subsides. Our greatest opportunity will be to realize the needed addition to the school that was getting into real shape when the Pearl Harbor event staggered the country. Here are other minor projects, capable of more imme- diate execution, which the school department has prepared for our town government, all of which will improve the ser- vice and efficiency of the school. ' 149 One most immediately needed is the excavation at the west. end of the main school building for an ample store room. Our building at present, unfortunately, is lacking in adequate storage space. We have no room for bulky materials such as cases of paper towels and bales of other kinds of paper which can be bought more economically in fairly large quantities, nor for janitorial supplies in barrels or half -barrels such as sweeping compound,. floor varnish, liquid floor •wax, liquid soap, nor for bulk food products for the cafeteria such as bags of potatoes. Still another is the building of portable storm entries before each of the two main entrance doorways on the north side of the main building. Yet another desirable improvement is the loaming and seeding to grass of the present unsatisfactory sandy baseball diamond. ' HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL'S REPORT Herewith is submitted my eleventh annual .report as principal of the John Simpkins School. Last June there were thirty-seven graduates: Of these, fourteen are employed, five are in college, fourteen are in the armed -services, one ,is at the Maritime Academy, and three: are unreported. ' - At the present time graduates of the school are in at- tendance at the following colleges: State Teachers Colleges at Framingham and Hyannis, Massachusetts State College, Boston University, Dartmouth College, Massachusetts Insti- tute of Technology, Brown University, Massachusetts Mari- time Academy, Truesdale Hospital, Cambridge Hospital. Reports from these institutions indicate that these pupils are well qualified and testify to the high grade of work being done by the pupils and teachers. - A If 1 u U4 s 150 The school continues to hold its A rating_with the state Department of Education and enjoys full certification privileges with the .New England College_ Entrance Board. The use of the Science Research tests early in Septem- ber has been most useful in improving scholastic standards. At least 170 of the graduates of this, school are now in the armed services -and three have given their lives to their country: David Eric Baker '34 William Oliver King '38 Richard Granville White '39 We hope soon to have .a service flag and a school honor roll to serve us as: a continual reminder of their service and sacrifice. Enrollment by subjects is as follows: Algebra I 47 Algebra II 8 Biology 33 Bookkeeping 15 Civics 74 Clothing I 6 Clothing II 9 Clothing 117 2 English I 73 English II 58 English III 42 English IV 34 Fine Arts . 8 Foods I 1 Foods II _ 3 French I •9 French 71 10 French III 2 Gen.

We need the following magazines: American Art American Girl American Home Better Homes Current History Design Horticulture Hygeia National Business National Geographic Popular Mechanics Popular Science Scholastic Science Digest Time _ Voice by On the playground our baseball and football fields both need loaming and seeding. Our tennis courts need re -sur- facing. Provision of additional- storage space by excavating at the west end of the basement corridor would do away with storing paper, etc. in the basement corridor and enable larger and wider buying for our cafeteria. In closing I wish to thank you and the entire staff for the splendid cooperation accorded during the past year. ARTHUR E. JENNER Principal REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN The regular work connected "with the schools in this county has been conducted as usual by all concerned. All of the nurses, physicians, and others have been active and efficient with their duties. The usual diphtheria immunization clinics have been and are being held as usual. The only case of diphtheria reported recently was in a woman . of middle age who bad, 152 of course, not been immunized. She had very slight- symp- toms and was. in a way, more a ."carrier" than a case. All schools have, of course, had the regular physical examination of pupils. -- The •feet are,. at present, being ex- amined somewhat more carefully than usual at request of the state. The usual tuberculosis clinics have been held through- out the county by those officials and others who regularly do this work: Such communicable diseases as have occurred, have not interfered with school activities. Only one case of infantile paralysis was reported in the county, although there was a considerable amount in some other sections. Dental clinics have been held as usual, by dentists using the county apparatus' and by those having the clinics in their offices. Special attention is being given to the vision test, as has been done for some time. All schools are, of course, visited regularly by the school physicians and nurses. • The co-operation of all superintendents and school com- mittees and of all interested in school work, has been excel- lent at all times. Every effort is made to see that physical defects are corrected where possible, and it is believed that conditions ' in the schools improve from year to year. We will make every effort to the end that all work, in connection with the schools, be conducted for the coming year in as satisfactory a manner as possible. • Respectfully, • A. P. GOFF, M. D. County Health Officer :xm 153 SCHOOL NURSE'S REPORT January 1, 1943, to January 1, 1944 In compiling the report of the Health department of the Yarmouth school for 1943, we find it averages up to about the same total as in other years. The District Nursing Association of Barnstable, Yarmouth and Dennis is respon- sible for the health work in the Yarmouth school and al- though one of our nurses entered the military service we were able to do the essential things necessary in a program of this type. We are glad to report that recently we have been fortunate in securing a nurse to do substitute work with us for the duration. •We have had Dental clinics and Toxoid clinics at the school and have made arrangements for' children to attend other clinics at the Hospital such as Orthopedic, Tonsil and Chest clinics. The physical examinations were done by Dr. Goff in January. .Parents are notified of the defects found at this examination and advised in regard to the correction of them. This brings us in contact with the home where perhaps the most important part of the school health program is centered. May we take this opportunity to express our apprecia- tion to all our co-workers in the school for their co-operation-_ and understanding. The statistical report of our work follows: School visits Inspections Classroom Individual Consultations Superintendent Teachers Children First-aid treatments Annual Physical Examinations 53 66 216 10 127 7 7 300 154 lumber weighed Exclusions .

ELDRIDGE CONCLUSION 17 9 8 16 1 Attendance Supervisor With the world conflict still raging and its costs likely to become more iutense before victory is won, we are living in anything but comfortable times. On the whole, however. it seems to me that old and young are standing up well under the stress and strain and are finding they have "what it takes". The young people of our school, those not long since graduated and those now in attendance at school, have shown the good American spirit of patriotism, bravery and cooperation. And there has been less confusion and unrest among us than was apprehended by some of us who have • 155 lived through World War 1. This is to the credit of pupils themselves, their families and their instructors. So' . 1 have in my mind a very real appreciation. for all those who are carrying on in their different capacities steadfastly, modestly and courageously, be they pupils, parents, school committee, principal or teachers.

Acting under Article 15 Mr. Winthrop V. Wilbur re- ported for the committee appointed. to consider Crowell Road as follows: "Your committee has made a personal visit to Crowell Road and to the 40 foot strip of beach described in a petition to the Selectmen in which the Town is asked to take and lay out this road and beach. An ex- haustive study and great deal of thought has been given to the welfare of the property owners and to the needs of the townspeople residing in this area, and although the need of a public beach is countenanced in West Yarmouth, it does not seem practical to recommend the taking of Crowell Road to furnish so small a beach frontage of 40 feet width. "With the reassurance that the residents and fisher- men may indefinitely continue to use Crowell Road as a right of way to the beach, .the committee feels that it is impractical to recommend that Crowell 'Road be taken by the town."

KNOWLES Town Clerk F REPORT of YARMOUTH PLANNING BOARD The past eventful year has found our faithfultown officers on their job and our citizens busy in their work. Our hopes have been centered in our young men patriot- ically serving their country. } ' • • Volunteers have done their part at the Ration Boards, Civilian Defense, Red Cross, etc. The Red Cross Motor and Canteen Corps have functioned all over the Cape, even going as far as Fall River at a time of a disastrous fire. The Hurricane of September 14th should warn us that the Cape is not free from the damage of a hurricane. A disastrous fire might occur at any time. This September Hurricane wrought heavy damage. Our Town and public officials acted promptly in helping to repair damage. Our town continues to grow and there has been a great demand for houses both on the North Side and South Side. Our town has a future. We owe it to our ancestors, and also to our. boys fighting abroad to see that the old tradi- tions of our town are maintained and that the beauty and characteristic Cape Cod atmosphere of our villages are pre- served. Our Board has held meetings since the Hurricane, dis- cussing what had best be done to preserve the beauty of our town and to plan for the future. The wise suggestion was made that the approaches on the Highway entering the town be beautified. It is of course essential that our beaches and town parks, used by thousands every summer, be kept in as attractive condition as possible. The Town public bathing beach and buildings at Dennis Pond are used daily by—many-children, and are a credit to our town. In like manner the Town bath houses' at Gray's Beach and Parker River are always well patronized. We should do. all we can to provideand main- tain suitable bathing places, and benches in our parks and groves, near our ponds and shores, where our young people and visitors can find enjoyment. • • 47 The Rod and Gun Club of South Yarmouth now owns seve'ra1 hundred acres of shore and woodland most pictur- esquely situated near Hockanom (on the North side). The shellfish industry of Yarmouth continues to show an increased production. Our scallops and quahaugs have been plentiful enough to furnish considerable commercial fishing.. Our town has made a suitable appropriation yearly to pay for the services of an officer as well as the costs of propagation. Let us continue to vote this appropriation. • • These are all steps in the right direction. Let us all do all in our power to improve conditions, so that when our boys return home, they may find a better town. All of which is respectfully submitted. • Yarmouth, December 30, 1944.. THOMAS C. THACHER Chairman Yarmouth Planning Board. .•3 1 3 48 SHELLFISH CONSTABLE'S REPORT Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth • Gentlemen : • I hereby submit the following .report as shellfish con- stable for the year ending December 31, 1944: Shellfish taken from the waters of the are valued at approximately $27,104.00- 1460 bu. Quahaugs 3875 bu. Scallops 855 bu. Clams 196 bu.

Seed is plentiful in the bay at the present time, making pros- pects for next year very good. Twenty-four bushels of quahaug seed were transferred to deep water in Lewis Bay. Two hundred and six bushels of oysters purchased from the State were planted in the waters beyond Baxter Avenue. Two men were employed to dispose of cockles which were destroying shellfish in Lewis Bay and Parkers River. Thirty-four bushels were collected. Forty-three commercial permits were issued. Over 12,000 miles have been covered on patrol. Several warnings have been issued for violation of the shellfish reg- ulations. Respectfully submitted, FRED C. SCHAUWECKER Shellfish Constable. 49 REPORT OF SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth, Mass.

Gentlemen: I hereby submit a summary of my activities for the year ending December 31, 1944. The first eight months of the year were on a normal scale, in keeping with war time limitations and restrictions. Some materials were being released in limited quantities, thereby making possible minor additions or slight alterations to electric services. Then on September 14th we were struck by a hurricane and tidal wave which put practically every wire out of oper- ation, either by ripping them from houses and poles, or by putting them under salt. water. This Department was lit- erally swamped with calls for inspections, and it required a great deal of traveling to go through each section with the various Cape and Vineyard crews and emergency power line- men, so that each service might be re -connected as fast as it was put back into proper condition. • I would like at this time to publicly commend the people of Yarmouth for their patience and helpfulness, and to say that everywhere throughout the town I found a splendid spiritof co-operation. Owners of hand pumps were gen- erous in sharing water, and oil stoves were loaned to less fortunate neighbors, thus relieving some of the hardship which such conditions bring. • It naturally is not a pleasant task to tell the household- er that his wiring will have to be ripped ouf and replaced when he has already suffered extensive property damage. But I believe the home owner would rather do this than to try to completely rebuild after his home has been destroyed by fire, to say nothing_ of the possible loss of life connected with it. I also wish to thank the Cape and Vineyard for their fine co-operation in restoring power to the homes as fast as the services were approved. The repair crews worked from dawn till late at night to restore normal service. - Many of the lines which did not come down in the hur- ricane were considerably weakened however. Consequently each high wind brings down more wires, with resulting damage to services. Wires which have been under salt water are dangerous, and I have found a few isolated cases where the power was inadvertently turned on in the rush when it should not have been. Several fires have been averted because of the alertness ofthe home owner in discovering unusual conditions in the electric service, thusenabling the Inspector to cut the wires before any fire damage ensued. - There have been a few house fires which were caused by a short circuit in the distribution lines on the street, but none however which could be attributed to the interior wiring. 'I have made approximately 500 inspections, and have traveled some 3500 miles in this work, yet even today there are some houses, mainly those of summer occupancy, which have not had service entirely restored. y E.

WATER DEPARTMENT REPORT The Board of Water Commissioners hereby submit the annual report of the Water Department for the year 1944. Present number of Water Services • Services vacant Gallons of water pumped Stock on hand, estimated value Outstanding accounts Gallons of water pumped to Barnstable Fire District Cash received from Barnstable Fire District from October 1, 1943, to October 1, 1944 Two new services were installed • • 224. 23 41,686,950 $1,004.25 $118.84 17,902,800 $1,969.42 Despite hurricane and drought, the Water Department completed the past year in good condition, and with its finances in better condition than at any time since its in- ception. Aside from the protracted dry spell which tested our plant to the utmost and the hurricane which caused anxious moments and some damage, the department has shown prog- ress. It was necessary for the department to purchase a new auxiliary gasoline motor this year. The old motor which had been in use since the beginning of the department failed due to the excessive load placed upon it immediately follow- ing the hurricane when the power lines were down. Receipts are up $1,000.00 over estimated revenue and with water takers being charged for what they use in excess water, we look ahead to the day when receipts will balance our outlay. The Board of Water Commissioners negotiated .a three- year contract with the Barnstable Fire District, at a sub- stantial increase over the previous contract, which the voters approved at a special town meeting and which will result in additional revenue for the Town. During the ensuing year the collection of water rates will be ably taken care of by Mr. C. 0. Blackwell, town col - 56 lector, and it is our intention to co-operate with Mr. Black- well and to use all means at our disposal to prevent any delinquency in payment of Water Bills.

CRESSY Chief of Police 4 ra l 60 - COUNTY HEALTH OFFICER'S REPORT January 1, 1945 The following is a brief report of the work of the Barn- stable County Health Department for the year. 1944. The meetings of .the Cape Cod Health Bureau Associa- tion and the Cape Cod Iiealth Council are still - being held twice a year, jointly, at the Hyannis Inn as usual. These meetings are always very well attended by the town boards of health and others interested. Also, these meetings give an opportunity for discussion of any sanitary or health questions which arise in any part of the Cape and are found to be quite useful in, settling some such questions. A repre- sentative of the Department. of Sanitation of the State spoke at one meeting, and the ,Medical Officer, connected with the Maritime Academy, at '.he other. When practicable, these meetings will again be held quarterly, as was formerly the case, All of the regular clinics were held during the year, in- cluding cancer, eye ear and throat, crippled children, diph- theria prevention, tuberculosis and well child conferences. All nurses, health agencies, and boards of health have been very efficient in conducting their work during the year, and the nurses' organization has held its regular meeting as cus- tomary. There has been no unusual amount of communicable disease, and schools have been in no way interfered with at any time. A little diphtheria was reported recently, an adult being apparently the first case reported positive. No anterior poliomyelitis (infantile paralysis) has been found in the county this year.. Certain private water supplies were reported unfit for use due to the hurricane, but no diseases resulted from these, so far as known. Special efforts are being made to locate contacts of. cer- tain diseases and arrangements are made for treatment where necessary. The regular work of the department has been carried " 61 on very satisfactorily by all concerned, and we wish to ex- tend our thanks to all officials of the State and County for their most complete and efficient supportof health work in the County. Respectfully A. P. GOFF, M. D. County Health Officer • 62 REPORT OF FISH AND GAME COMMITTEE To the Board of Selectmen - Town of Yarmouth, Massachusetts Gentlemen: - The Fish and Game Committee of the Town of Yar- mouth -submits the following report: We spent $145.00 of the $200.00 appropriation. We installed four large feed patches, using the funds tthe plowing rchase fertilizer, various kinds of seed, and top y and. harrowing. Due to the war we were unable to buy game to be re- leased. Also due to the shortage of grain for poultry, we did not deem it advisable to compete for the limited amount available. We ask no appropriation for 1945, feeling that with the fertilizer we have left on hand and the $55.00 balance still on hand, we will be able to carry on until next year. Sincerely, E. FRUEAN, Jr. Sec''y for the Fish and Game Committee. 63 LIST OF JURORS'- Harry Backstrom, Printer William H. Baker, Painter Horace P. Baxter, Farmer Carl A. Bradshaw, Merchant Wesley L.

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 August 15, 1943, the date of the previous audit, to July 31, 1944, and submit the following report thereon: The recorded financial transactions of the several de- partments receiving or disbursing money for the town were . examined and checked. t 71 The books and accounts in the office of the accounting officer were examined- and checked. The •recordedreceipts were verified by comparison with the treasurer's records, while the disbursements as recorded were checked with the selectmen's warrants authorizing payments and with the treasurer's books. The appropriations and transfers voted by the town, as shown by the town clerk's records, were checked to the accounting officer's ledger. The ledger accounts were an- alyzed, 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 July 31, 1944. The books and accounts of the town treasurer were ex- amined and checked. The cash book was footed and the recorded receipts were analyzed and checked with the rec- ords of the several departments collecting money for the town and with the other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury, while the payments were checked with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the treasurerto disburse town funds. The cash balance July 31, 1944, was verified by recon- ciliation of the bank balance with a statement furnished by the bank of deposit. The debt and interest payments were checked with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities and coupons on file. The securities and savings bank books representing the investments of the trust and investment funds in custody of the treasurer were examined, the income being proved and the disbursements verified. _ The tax title deeds representing liens on real estate, were listed, and the amounts transferred to the tax title account were checked with the collector's books. The tax title deeds on hand were compared with the records at the Registry of Deeds. The books and accounts of the tax collector were exam- ined and checked. The property and motor vehicle excise taxes and special assessments outstanding according to the previous examination and all subsequent commitments were 72 audited and checked to the warrants issued for their collec- tion. The recorded collections were checked with the col- lector's record of receipts, the payments to the treasurer were verified by comparison with the treasurer's receipts, and the cash -balance was verified by actual count of the cash in the office and by reconciliation of the bank balance. The recorded abatements were checked with the assessors' record of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts. were listed, proved, and verified by mailing notices to a num- ber of persons whose names appeared on the looks as owing money to the town. The replies received thereto indicate that the outstanding accounts, as listed, are correct. The records of receipts from licenses and permits issued by the selectmen were examined, and the payments to the treasurer were checked with the treasurer's cash book. The town clerk's' records of sporting and dog licenses and of miscellaneous receipts were examined, the payments to the Division of Fisheries and Game being verified with the receipts on file and the payments to the town treasurer being compared with the treasurer's • cash book. The accounts of the health, public welfare and school departments were examined and checked in detail. The charges were proved, the payments to the treasurer and the abatements were verified, and the outstanding accounts were reconciled with the respective ledger accounts. The records of the water department were examined and checked. The commitment sheets were analyzed, the abate- ments were checked, the payments to the treasurer were ver- ified, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved. The surety bonds of the various town officials for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form. In addition to the departments and accounts mentioned, the accounts of all other departments collecting money for the town were examined and verified. • Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, are tables showing a reconciliation of the cash of the town treasurer and of the tax collector, summaries of the tax, assessment, departmental, and water accounts, together with 73 schedules showing the condition of the trust and investment funds. For the cd -operation extended by the various town of- ficials during the progress of the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express appreciation.

ANGUS A. EARLE MITCHELL RICHARD B. TAYLOR Board of Selectmen of Yarmouth nr. 86 FOREST WARDEN'S REPORT The past year we have again had the services of a For- est Warden and equipment on duty full time and we are convinced that this has been of considerable value to the Town and should be continued. At this time, it is even more important that this work be continued due to. the large amount of fallen trees and brush that will constitute a fire hazard of very serious proportions for some time to come. During the past year, Mr. Richard Ellis carried out the duties of Forest Warden in a very capable manner and was successful in stopping several small fires without further aid, in two instances holding serious fires in check until oth- er help could be called. On October 30th Mr. Ellis resigned and Mr. Fernandus Baker of West Yarmouth was appointed in his place. Mr. Baker, when not on patrol has spent his time in opening up the wood roads that were completely blocked by fallen trees during the hurricane, making it im- possible to get apparatus or men into the areas that con- stitute the worst fire hazards. This work is continuing and we hope that before the fire season arrives a good part of the wood roads will be opened sufficiently to enable fire ap- paratus to enter the wooded areas. As in the past, the great- est number of grass fires resulted from carelessness in the use of incinerators and we feel that the regulations limiting the use of incinerators to the hours before 9 A.M. and after 6 P.M. will prevent many of these fires.

EARLE MITCHELL FRED M. ANOUS RICHARD B. TAYLOR Board of Assessors • - l� f 90 REPORT OF BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE A study of the following figures will show that the town has been fortunate in having low case loads in all categories of assistance, resulting in greatly reduced expenditures. The single exception is Old Age Assistance. in which the case load average is 5.2 less than 1943 but the expenditure is .$531.88 more. This was due to an increase in the budget to comply with state requirements. The table of expenditures since' 1937 reveals that where other categories have declined, Old Age Assistance has consistently increased every year. A new payroll was put into effect. in May, the monthly totals of which are given below. It should be pointed out that the direct local cost to the town is not the total cost. It seems hardly necessary to state that the federal and state reimbursements are in.fact reimbursements and not gifts. Directly or indirectly the town will eventually pay the full costs of assistance. It will be noted that the figure given as the local share is different than that of the direct local cost, the reason being that reimbursements are in arrears. It is interesting to note that our expenditures in all categories of assistance, including administrative costs, amount to $4'7,733.60 and the total reimbursements $30,- 762.61, which leaves a direct local cost of $16,970.99. The Board is pleased that due to favorable employment conditions it has returned a balance this year totaling $16,313.01. RICHARD B. TAYLOR FRED M. A.NGUS A.

We cannot help but meditate on our young lads now leaving school to take their part in this barbarous war. • There should surely be a re -dedication of the lives of all of us who have been permitted to stay at home, a re- dedication to do our part in the betterment of our country, to strengthen our moral fibre, and to be vigilant in a chaotic world. We owe our fighting men much. Let us bring them home to a nation that can truly say "In God We Trust." Some of the war conditions bring their hardships into the school system. Our heating problem has been one of them. The use of coal as the principal source of heat has made our work greater and our costs necessarily higher. Through our program to do some reconditioning each year we have been able to again make some headway this last summer vacation. Rooms 202 and 210, which were very badly in need of repair, have been completely done over. The principal's office and teachers' rooms were repainted and six toilets, including the boys' and girls' basement toilets, were plastered where necessary and completely refinished. There is still equally as necessary work to be done in inside painting and plastering, a part of which we plan to do in 1945. The hurricane destroyed many of our valuable and at- tractive shade trees in front of our school as well as the grove on the South side of the playground. Fortunately, our over-all building loss was comparatively slight. We believe that we have made proper adjustments in our salary schedule throughout our faculty. Each year for the last several years we have increased the rate of pay • 142 among our teachers. This year,, again, we have drawn up our budget with further increases in mind. In our delib- erations relative to teachers' salaries, .an expense that makes up about one-half our school costs, we have endeavored to keep in mind a . salary schedule started in part two years ago and the bringing up of teachers' compensation to a respectable level consistent with enterprising towns. We . have definitely tried to steer away from general percent in- creases which do not compensate experienced teachers enough and increase others entirely out of- line. We believe that it is much better to increase our salaries with a permanent thought in mind rather than a war -time temporary measure -here the salary is stepped up for a year or two. Our max- imum salary for women teachers effective in our 1945 budget is $1600. The committee is appreciative of the assistance and cooperation of the faculty and is anxious to make our school a most helpful force in our town. Respectfully submitted, ALBERTO W. SMALL, Chairman WINTHROP V. WILBIIR HERVEY L. SMALL 143 REPORT of SUPERINTENDENT of SCHOOLS "The education of children, youth, and adults for effec- tive living in American democracy is our most important single task, nett to winning the war, and can be assured only by the maintenance of a continuing supply of carefully se- lected, adequately educated, and adequately paid men and women delegated to this task." A Statement of Principles and Recommended Action by the National Education Association To the School Committee of Yarmouth, Massachusetts Gentlemen: Herewith is presented the fiLy-third report in the series of annual reports by the union superintendent of schools. THE GREAT PROBLEM • The great problem facing school departments today is that of getting needed teachers and of trying to retain good teachers. These conditions, of course, grow out of the war which has made all lines of activity and all phases of life more difficult for everyone. "Since Pearl Harbor, 200,000 teachers have left the schools in this country." "Teachers College enrollments have dropped sixty per- cent below 1940-41." "Living costs have risen twenty-six percent since August, 1939." "Thousands of teachers have left the profession for the higher wages paid by industry. Thousands of others see their students leaving high school and making better wages than teachers of long experience." 144 "Since Pearl Harbor there has been a marked decline. in the quality of education in many class rooms." In our own high school out of thirteen teachers includ- ing the principal employed last spring, only three are with us now. Two of these are on tenure of quite long standing. Of the ten new ones appointed, three were without ex- perience and one had bad a year of teaching. The other six experienced persons were available only because their homes are in the immediate vicinity. -- - - THE SOLUTION In trying to solve this problem of holding good teachers and attracting suitable new ones for replacements, two measures have taken form. One of these is to provide higher regular salaries when existing pay is found to be at a com- parative low level. The other is to give salary increases to cover advanced wartime living cost, this being the reverse process of the salary cuts of the depression years of 1933-34. • WHAT IS BEING DONE ELSEWHERE In communities where satisfactory salary scales__were-___ maintained prior to the war, the special payment plan gen- erally is being sought as a relief. Thus in many cities and - - towns it is being applied to teachers, policemen, firemen and other municipal workers not- protected by labor organiza- tions. __ --- - ------ - . A $360 salary increase was voted to state employees by the last legislature. In New Bedford, as an example, the school committee has included in its budget a $200 increase for all of its teachers. Outside the cities the same thing has happened in other places. In a town adjoining Yarmouth where the elementary teachers have a maximum salary of •$1800, a $50 flat increase was voted to all who were receiving less than $2500 a year. This was done in April, 1942. In 1943, a 10 percent increase was given to all employees of that school department without limitation. Similar action has 145 taken place in many of the smaller communities. To illus- trate, out of 41 Massachusetts towns of under 5,000 popula- tion maintaining high schools as reported by the Massachu- setts Teachers Federation, special increases for teachers have been given as follows: 3 towns granted $200; 2 towns $100-$200; 1 town $5- $200; 1 town $175; 2 towns $150; 4 towns $100; 2 towns $75; 3 towns $50; 5 towns a 10 .pereent ,increase; 1 town a 5-10 percent increase; 2 towns a revised salary. scale; 2 towns a replacement or continuation of recent increases, and 2 towns increases with sum not stated. Towns not report- ing: 11. As to the revised salary sebedule, this proceeding is being followed to a much smaller extent than the special payment or bonus plan and only in places where the existing scale is clearly a low one. It will be noted that in the above list only two towns report a revised salary scale while eigh- teen towns report flat rate sums and six towns a percentage increase. - WHAT IS BEING DONE HERE AT HOME In our own community yc-ur Committee has made com- mendable progress in raising and defining salaries of teach- ers. It is a fact, however, that the present Board inherited a rather low standard to build on. For example, in the fall of 1942 we had eight out of seventeen women teachers getting from two to three hundred dcllars less than the now legal minimum of $1200. But in the two years following, many inequalities were ironed out and the lowest salaries brought up. It should be noted, nevertheless, that the recently set-up maximum of $1600 for women teachers of all grades is neith- er low nor high in comparison with many towns of- our size and valuation. Therefore, it might well be regarded as a welcome step forward rather than a final stopping place. The writer wishes, right here, to go on record as ap- proving equal pay for teaching in all grades, whether ele- A 146 mentary or high, the factors of education, professional prep- aration, length of experience and satisfactory service being equal. I believe, furthermore, that the degrees above the bachelor's, when, they represent a more thorough prepara- tion in the more specialized fields of- secondary education, also should receive consideration in salary gradations. Since this new maximum immediately affects in -full only three of our teachers and, since the difficulty of adjusting income while living costs soar is a real one for the others, your action in granting increases of $100 and $50 to those inside the maximum is a measure of relief, although not as full a measure as that for which petition has been made. CONCLUSIONS TO BE DRAWN Reflecting upon conditions as described above, we can arrive at the following conclusions: There is a distinction between the building up of a reg- ular salary schedule to promote a higher order of educational service to the community, and the granting of a flat rate sum or percentage increase to all employes at one and the same time to counter -balance a substantial inerease in living costs. The first plan is an administrative policy of long standing, suitable in peace or war. The second plan is an emergency measure growing out of conditions caused by the present world conflict. Both plans are designed, primarily, to ben- efit the school system, by making it more eisily possible to retain excellent teachers longer and to obtain better re- placements when necessary. Yarmouth should use both plans, not merely to help . individual teachers here and there, but to produce a more stabilized, skillful and devoted teaching staff. In these days of critical shortage of competent teachers it is more necessary than ever for a town of Yarmouth's financial and cultural standing to do its utmost to protect the educational welfare of its children and youth. The principal in his report right- ly speaks of the teacher turnover and of the effect of the inexperienced teacher on the pupil's progress and attitude 147 of mind. Teacher pay will have a vital part in either im- proving or making worse these unfortunate conditions. Good schools are the core of the community's well-being; good teachers make good schools; and common experience through- out America proves that good salaries attract and hold good • teachers. For in schools as in life generally "weget what we pay for". • THE TEACHING STAFF The changes that have taken place in our faculty are as follows: Mr. Arthur E. Jenner, who has served our schools since 1927, who was assistant principal of the new building during the first two years of its life, and who became principal in 1933, resigned in May to accept an important executive posi- tion in the national organization of the Boy Scouts of Amer- ica with headquarters in Boston. In his eleven years as head of our consolidated school, Mr. Jenner maintained a high standard of administration, promoted the school's ser- vice to the community, maintained pleasant and effective relations with parents and pupils and served in many use- ful capacities as a public-spirited citizen. While it is un- fortunate for high school education to lose a man of Dir. Jenner's calibre, it is a gain for the development of scout - hood in the metropolitan area of Boston. Both fields afford great opportunity for one who is a seasoned teacher and executive. Both fields offer the same high objectives, namely th' development of youth into healthy manhood and fine, useful citizenship. His many friends wish Mr. Jenner every success in his new undertaking and appreciate warmly his years of labor among us. Dr. Louis Balsam of Cambridge, Massachusetts, was elected to succeed Mr. Jenner and began his work immedi- ately following Mr. Jenner's departure. He is a graduate of Tufts College and earned his Ph.D. in social science at Harvard. He has had an extensive and successful teaching and administrative experience both in this country and Z. 148 abroad and in high schools and colleges. - Because he had become au ardent admirer of the Cape and had decided to settle here in this region, he was available when our opening occurred. - Mr. Seward F. French, shortly before the close -of this year, resigned to accept a social service position at the Seamen's Club in Boston, an organization serving and help- ing sailors from all quarters of the globe. Since 1933 Mr. . French has been assistant principal and instructor in social science. He always had a friendly interest in the individual pupil and helped a great number to go on with their educa- tion after high school. In many cases he was the means of their making the right contacts on entering college and be- ing able to work their way through successfully. In this new undertaking which has a strong appeal to him, his friends wish him success and 'true satisfaction. Mrs. Gertrude B. Homer of South Yarmouth, Massachu- setts, who is a graduate of the Framingham Teachers Col- lege and a former teacher, joined the faculty last March as teacher of household arts and cafeteria manager when severe illness brought about the ' resignation of Miss Anne Jones, who had been on the teaching staff of Yarmouth since 1931. Mis§ Jones joined us when our new school opened and played a major part in organizing and carrying on suc- cessfully our cafeteria. She had had a fine background of teaching in this field in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and brought to her work an excellent experience and competent knowl- edge. Best wishes for the coming years are extended to her by those with whom she was long associated. Mr. Louis L. Lambert teaches French, Spanish and Latin, formerly carried on by Mrs. Elaine Nickerson Derick. Until coming to West Yarmouth where he has established a home, Mr. Lambert was professor of French at Boston Uni- versity. He is a native of France and has a rich experi- ence in the, field of education, particularly in the modern languages, and is author of a well-known series of textbooks in French. Only his retirement from University work and his owning his present home here within the town has made 149 available to us so capable and so experienced an instructor. Miss Elizabeth M. Clough of Auburn, Maine, a graduate of the University of Maine, with a year's teaching experi- ence in English, has followed Mrs. Mary L. Woelfinger, who left this area to accompany her soldier -husband South. Miss Grace E. Drum of Taunton, Massachusetts, has taken up the vocal music in place of Miss Anna L. Hallett, • who went to a position nearer Boston. Miss Drum is a grad- uate of Trinity College, London, England, and while new to public school teaching, has had a successful background of private instruction. She has entered upon her work with enthusiasm and promise. Miss Nancy E. Graves, a capsble graduate of Massachu- setts School of Art, 1944, has replaced Miss Eleanor R. Ful- ler who joined her family in Tennessee, her father having gone down there into war work from East Bridgewater. Miss Evelyn Lahteine of West Barnstable, who, while in her second year with us had accepted a position in Barnstable, -- returned to Yarmouth this fall to take over her former posi- tion as' civics teacher on the resignation of Miss Mildred Barufoldi who went to Dighton, Massachusetts. • Miss. Alice A. Cahill of Northampton, Massachusetts, a graduate of Smith College and of the Northampton Commer- cial College, succeeds Miss Eileen R.. Maguire, who resigned at the close of the school year. Miss Mary- Dillon, a graduate of the Framingham State Teachers College, 1944, has charge of the overflow eighth grade, succeeding Miss Lilli Ahonen who resigned to take a position in Abington, Massachusetts. Miss Beatrice Mastro of Rockland, Massachusetts, a grad- uate of the Framingham State Teachers College, 1944, re- places Miss Priscilla Patey in the clothing department. 11Irs. Dorothy Mitchell Prince, on the return -of her hus- band from naval service, ended her work in the first grade at the close of the school year. Miss Toini Hemmila, who had the overflow group, took this room in September. 150 BUDGET The increase of the estimates for 1945 over 1944 is due ahnost wholly to provision for salary improvement. The budget, as approved by the school committee, sub- mitted to the finance committee and printed in this report does not, however, include sufficient funds to provide fully for the fifteen percent increases or $250 bonuses for which petition has been made to the school committee. But it has provided for increases of $150 for a few teachers to reach the new maximum of $1,600 and for raises for others ranging from $50 to $100, according to comparative time they have been members of the staff. THE BUILDING ADDITION Three years ago the need for more room was set forth in detail (pages 176-7 of the annual report for 1941). The seriousness of conditions and its effect on the efficiency of the school was recognized, for a special committee of four citi- zens was appointed to work in conjuction with the school committee. They were to formulate and recommend plans for a suitable addition. The committee put in considerable work and made real progress on the project, but the disaster at Pearl Harbor and wartime restrictions on construction ended the matter for the time being. The reason I bring it up now is because, in spite of recent discouraging' news from the war front, peace is going to return some day. On that day we should be ready to under- take without delay the building of our addition. And, at that time construction of this sort will be definitely encour- aged. Therefore, let us not lose sight of our need and be ready to do something about it, whether it be in 1946 or 1947. Let us hope it will be no later. REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL Herewith is submitted my first report as Principal of the John Simpkins School: 151 The changes and stresses of war brought serious problems to us during the past year. These problems affect our stu- dents, teachers, the principal, superintendent and the school board. They reach right into the family life of our town. Not only did we need to find a new principal, but of the twelve high school teachers nine new ones had to be found when we more than ever needed experienced guidance for our pupils. Of the twelve teachers here in the high school three years ago, just two are on tenure now. Many small high schools allow themselves to be used as training centers for teachers fresh from college. Surveys show it takes at least half a school year for a new teacher to get used to the new environment. Her real value to a school beginsjust about when the first year ends. So much too often, when our teachers begin to be truly useful, they are lured away by more money. Many of these teachers have gone to towns less well-off than curs. Many new teachers like our school. They like our stu- dents and our people. We like many of them who show every sign of very high ability. We lose so many of them, year after year. A growing .number of citizens, • worried about our lack of a permament teaching staff have asked me to put this problem before you. When I asked a student sent to me by one of the nine new teachers why he wasn't making a serious effort to ad- just himself to the new teacher, be said, sadly, "What good'11 it dot She won't be here next year. For three years I've been trying hard to get used to new teachers. Then they leave. It's kind of heartbreaking." It is often heart- breaking for these new teachers who try so earnestly to learn how we do things here and what we need. Yarmouth suffers from a high school epidemic which has struck mostof the country. It might be called "Aw, what's the use?" Too many students take the easiest road. When a course begins to need hard work they drop it. Here is one place experienced teachers could be of enormous help. They know how to keep students .at tasks that are difficult. They realize that too many students just don't realize what a serious mistake they. make when they drop a course that takes plenty or effort. There is no easy road to high achieve- ment. Our students urgently need the best teachers we can get to help them develop. PARENTS TELL US Several parents have told me what type ofeducation they hope I will have the school produce. These parents fall into three group... I share their ideas with you: , One group says, "Give them more practical courses, help them get a diploma, and get out and make some money.". This group of parents frankly sees a high school hoodippllooma o entirely as a matter of cash. A second group asks "Teach my child to think straight; to use his brain:" Little or no interest is shown in what we teach, or how. The third group, a very small number, asks me to "Develop the whole personality of my child. Make him a responsible adult better able to live a harmonious, useful, cooperative life wherever he goes. whatever he does." What such parents want, I point out, takes a staff of top-flight teachers. A FEW FACTS AND FIGURES More than one hundred eighty of our graduates are in the armed forces. Five have given their lives to make certain we remain free: David Eric Baker, William Oliver Sing, Richard Granville White, Herbert Gordon Sears, and Alfred Babineau. May God rest their courageous souls, secure in the knowledge that we who remain behind will never let them down. These deaths, the fact of the draft, of enlistments, of having relatives in the war, all have helped make this a very trying year for so many of our students. When I asked many of these appealing students what they wanted most for Christmas it was touching to see how many said, "I want my Daddy home." So many of our parents, both mother and father, are away at war work when the children come t_• 153 home. Scores of these young folks get the meals, clean house, Wash clothes and take family responsibility. Of the thirty-five who graduated in June, ten are in the armed forces. Two are taking nurses' training, thirteen are employed, and ten are at colleges. Boston University, Massa- chusetts State College, Massachusetts Maritime Academy, Brown University, Fisher College, Green Mountain Junior College are among • those now teaching our graduates. Re- ports from these institutions of higher learning show that our students, in the main, are giving a good account of themselves. This is the only important check we have upon how good our college preparatory courses may be. One former student, Wells Macoy, was awarded his diploma by the school board, a few years after he left us, because of the excellent work he did in qualified courses given by the army. • We are placing our heaviest emphasis upon winning the war, and are keying all our .courses accordingly. In every class we are bending our efforts to train and fit those soon to be in our armed forces for better service to our country; now and after victory. Many of these youngsters will not care to return to school but' will go directly into the work of rebuilding a sorry, wearied, badly -messed up world. These students desperately need the very best help we, the citizens, can give them. Scores of other former students, now in battle lines, have written us. Their letters are always gripping, some- times wistful, and often beautiful expressions of their feel- ings. Again and again they say, "If only I had sense enough .to buckle down to studying while. I had the chance. Maybe . I would have if I had more teachers like -." Several students have been back, in uniform, to revisit classes. Two have spoken to student assemblies. All of them urge students to work hard now, while they have the opportunity for education. This is very revealing. LOOKING AHEAD We go on, then, with a high school staff. seventy-five per • 154 • cent brand new, knowing how strongly such staff -shifting weakens the education our youngsters have a right to de- mand. Well, friends, this high school is yours. It will always be just as high quality as you want it to be. It will never gnow greater than you are willing to help us, who run it for you, make it. You and I, and all of us face that fact .as we reach toward the post-war world with all its tremendous, complicated problems we are so soon to turn over to students, now in high school, to handle. I, for one, don't feel we grownups have made such a noble work of this world, so far. I do hope we will, increasingly, do everything in our power to help these students do a much better job of making a happier, truly peaceful world. My deepest appreciation goes to the school board for its fine cooperation; for the hours and hours they have given, without pay, to the work of our school because they want to help Yarmouth; to Ihe superintendent for his thoughtful- ness, his many ways of helping, and for the understanding he gave a new man; to many of the teachers who gave the school their very best under difficult circumstances, and es- pecially to Oscar Garland and Edward M. Webster who so loyally- and unselfishly gave of their own time to help this school through these critical war days with a new principal. and new teachers who relied upon these two gentlemen for guidance. May I, last, but by no means least, express my gratitude to many, many students who did their bit to keep this school running well; students like Ruth Kelley, my secretary, who gave uncounted hours to office work without which the school would have keenly suffered. To Ruth and to many, many others, my heartfelt appreciation. May the coming year see a heart warming taste of peace. May all of us, working together, tolerant of each other's ways, cooperative .and harmonious, help .these students help themselves to rebuild the lovely, finer, peaceful -America we all so greatly long for. LOUIS BALSAM, Principal. 155 REPORT OF THE SCROOL PHYSICIAN All of the regular school work for the year 1944 in the County has been conducted as usual by the nurses, physi- cians, and others ,concerned . with this work, and all of the duties have been performed satisfactorily. All the regular - clinics are being held, including the • diphtheria immunization. Communicable diseases have not presented any particu- lar difficulty during the year. There have been demonstrations of a 'new apparatus for testing vision in some of the schools, special attention having been given to this testing for some time. The usual tuberculosis clinics have, of course, been held, and local doctors and nurses have aided recently in reading the tests which are given. Dental clinics have been held by visiting dentists, or by local men when these are available. _ Every effort is being made to correct physical defects where possible, and improvement in this work is evident. On the whole, it is believed that work in connection .with the schools has been conducted satisfactorily, and every ef- fort will be made to so continue the work for the coming year. Co=operation of all officials and others has been most complete. Respectfully, A. P. GOFF, M. D. County Health Officer it 156 NURSE'S REPORT The school _report of the nursing service rendered to the Yarmouth school for the year 1944 follows the same general pattern of former years. School visits,._ inspections and con- sultations with teachers, children and parents in the home give us a working knowledge of the needs as related to the school population in this community. Physical examination of each child made annually by the school physician is most helpful in bringing to light many defects that can be corrected, thus helping the child to overcome any handicap associated with the defect. We have many resources to which we can turn for help in correction of these defects. There is a tonsil clinic at the Cape Cod Hospital where tonsillectomies can be had at a •'very low rate. • The Crippled Children's Clinic will take care of any eases needing orthopedic treatment and just this past year this clinic has added a Speech department to which children with speech defects can come for correction. The District Nursing Association of Barnstable, Yar- mouth and Dennis have an annual Eye clinic for the school children. They also have Toxoid clinics for the prevention of diphtheria and Dental clinics in conjunction with the Board of Health. The Barnstable County Sanatorium give tests for tuber- culosis in the schools at various intervals followed by an annual chest X-ray for all who have been in contact with the disease. May we take this opportunity to express our apprecia- tion to all our co-workers in the school and in the community for their co-operation and understanding. The statistical report of our work follows: 157 • Statistical Report — School Nurse — 1944 School visits Inspections Classroom Sanitary Consultations Teachers Children First -Aid Treatments Annual Physical Examinations Number weighed Exclusions Home visits Number of homes Number of children Vision retested Hearing test with Audiometer Clinic attendance Toxoid Dental Eye Crippled children's Chest X-ray 58 109 398 143 15 10 400 602 3 40 53 16 185 42 78 10 2 12 Respectfully submitted, DISTRICT NURSING ASSOCIATION CONCLUSION In closing this report I want to express my appreciation of the conscientious and thoughtful way the members of the Yarmouth School Committee, in times of much stress and strain, have tried to work out policies of management and op- eration for our school. Likewise, I wish to thank all the 158 159 -. members of the faculty, a few of whom have served long and faithfully and many of whom have been with us but for a short while, for the extent of their cooperation and for the sincerity of the efforts they have made to be helpful to the children they instruct.
