Yes 119 No 80. Acting under Article J, -the following report of the Planning Board in the matter of Yarmouth Dumps was read by Richard B. Taylor as follows: "The planning Board has spent some time upon the dump question in Yarmouth. The situation seems to be as follows: There are four dumps -in the Town; two of which are very close to habitation and in fact one of them a little too close for health purposes. The Selectmen have experienced great difficulty in 30 having to maintain and keep clear, burn' -and take care of four separate dumps. The present cost of maintaining these dumps, includ- ing fire, runs about $3100.00 annually. It is the thought of the Planning Board and of the Selectmen, and others interested, that one central dump, similar to the Dennis central dump, would alleviate some of the difficulties under the present setup. It is admitted that the cost of maintaining the central dump would be about the same as maintaining the four dumps,• but it is also quite apparent that a lot of 'the dif- ficulties would be overcome. Various sites have been offered, but the Planning Board recommends that the Jim Smith property, comprising some forty or fifty acres of land, together with a small house thereon; which is located in the center of the town, close by the old Town house. be acquired. There is a small pond upon the premises and it is about as near a central part of the town as could be obtained. This site would last for many. many years, having such a large acreage and a care- takercould fix up the house now on the premises and make it for his own habitation and be on duty at all times. The Planning Board, therefor, recommends that the Jim Smith place be acquired as a central dump and that the Selectmen close the other four dumps at their discretion." Acting under Article K, the following • elected officers came forward and were duly sworn by the Moderator: Richard B. Taylor, Harry M. Robinson, Gorham B. Harper, Roger G. Edwards. Gorham P. Homer, Gerald 0. Cash,.Allen H. Knowles, Fernandus Baker, Reginald Love, Frank D. MacGlamery and Charles C. Dimond. Herbert C. Tripp was duly sworn by the Town C!erk.. Acting under Art;cle L, L. Robert Maclvor reported for the Finance Committee as follows: "Most of you have received and have had in oppor- tunity to study the Warrant and Finance Committee's Rec- ommendations. a 31 The 'Finance Committee were able to reduce the de- partmental budgets by about $12,000. This was done\ in agreement with the heads- of the departments affected. 1 As stated in our report, we have in addition to tie departmental budgets given due consideration to the special Articles in the Warrant which in most cases request funds for items which either extend present services or increase their efficiency- and that we had recommended most of these. Articles. Since the Warrant and Recommendations went to the printer, the Assessors have received from the Commissioner of Taxation the amounts of the 'State and County Taxes and other charges which must be included in the tax levy. They are also now better able to estimate the receipts and surplus revenue which may be used to offset expenditures. It now appears that were you to vote for all of the. amounts requested in this Warrant, the tax rate for this year would be about $39.00 per thousand. We have not considered Articles 17 calling for the purchase or taking of land in Yarmouth for a central dump, nor 49 calling for the purchase or taking of land in West Yarmouth for a Town beach, nor Article 39 for the construction and equip- ping of a new school house, because as yet we do not know the amounts to be requested for these Articles. But, with- out them, the tax rate will be about $39.00, which is an inerease of $8.00 over last year. While we believe, and so stated in our report, that an increase in the departmental budgets is inevitable this year in view of increased costs of materials and labor, we also believe that a $39.00 tax rate in a Town like ours, Where over 50% of the taxes come from non-residents, is not an inviting prospect and calls for a curtailment of expendi- tures wherever they can be made without detriment to necessary•services. To this end. the Finance Committee has met with the Selectmen for the purpose of reviewing its recommendations and have made changes in the following articles and please mark them in your copies. 32 ARTICLE 5. Postponement. ARTICLE 8. Postponement. ARTICLE 10. Postponement. ARTICLE 22. (if Article 19 is voted) General Highways $12,000.00. Snow and Ice Removal $5,000.00. Street lights and signals $7,800.00. Street signs $200.00. Side walks $800.00. ARTICLE 23. That the sum of $16,000.00 be transferred from available funds in the Treasury for the purpose. ARTICLE 30. Public Welfare $6395.00.. Outside Public Welfare $1000.00. Aid to Dependent Children— Assistance i.1-,'6800.00. Administrative $130.00. Old Age Assistance— Assistance $30,000.00. Administrative $2380.00. If the recommendations just noted and those made on the other Articles are carried out by the voters, the tax rate will not be about $39.00 but about $34.00 or an increase of $3.00 instead of $8.00. The matter is now in your hands and the decision rests with you." On motion duly made and seconded it was unanimously voted that Article 39 be taken up and acted upon at this time. Acting under Article 39 the following motion was duly made and seconded : That the sum of $350,000.00 be raised and appropriated for the purpose of acquiring land, whether by purchase or eminent domain, under Chapter 79 of the General Laws, said land being described substantially as 83 follows: Land on the State By-pass extending east from the school property 1000 feet on the C. W. Rowley and I. K. Taylor properties and about 800 feet deep, and for the purpose of constructing on said land an elementary school and originally equipping and furnishing the same, said ap- propriation to be met as follows, viz: 1. To raise the sum of $5,000.00 in the tax levy of the current year. 2. That the Treasurer, with the approval of the Select- men, be and hereby is authorized to borrow the sum of $335,000.00 and to issue bonds and notes of the Town therefor, said, bonds and notes to be payable in accordance with the provisions of Chap- ter 44 of the General Laws so that the whole loan shall be paid in not more than twenty years from the date of issue of the first bond or note, or at such earlier time as the Treasurer or Selectmen may determine. 3. To appropriate from the Stabilization Fund the sum of $10,000.00.

REPORT OF SPECIAL TOWN MEETING Yarmouth, Massachusetts June 4, 1948 The Special Town Meeting was held in the Auditorium of the School and Municipal Building in. South Yarmouth on the above date, about 359 voters were present. 50 The Meeting was called to order at 7:45 P. M. by the Moderator, Aunil H. Castonguay. The Moderator read the Warrant. with the exception of the Articles. The Articles were read as they were taken • up to •be acted upon. The Moderator appointed Ralph Thacher, Oliver L. Studley, Matthews C. Hallet and Edward R. Barnes to act as Tellers. The Tellers came.forward and were duly sworn by the Moderator. Mr. Lawrence R. MaeIv>or reported for the Finance Committee as follows: • - " Some of yon might recall that at the Annual Town Meeting held last February in the report of the Finance Committee to you people we stated that if our rccouuuendations were supported by you voters that the tax rate for this year would increase about $3.00 so that the tax rate would be about $34.30. The Assessors now confirm these figures so that at the time of this meeting it can be said that the rate will increase about $3.00. We are now about to consider articles totalling ap- propriations amounting to $19,05.4.50 without considera- tion of the article calling for the building of the elementary school. We have approved expenditures amounting to $9.:84.50. If you voters decide to purchase the beach property at Englewood under Article XIX. .$9.500 00 must be added to that figure making the total $19.054.50 which amoinit will increase the tax . rate- approximately $2.40 which means that the tax rate for 1948 will be approximate- ly $36.70 or an increase of $5.70 over 1947. \Toil• .. e come to consideration of the article to build an elementary school. We believe that the voters and tax payers should consider these figures as well as the merit and need of the school. The present indebtedness of the town of Yarmouth is $516.000.00 which is costing th:, town annually $51.650.00 for reduction of principal and interest «bleb is` equivalent to $6.45 per thousand on the rate.

FRUEAN, JR., SEALER • WATER DEPARTMENT REPORT Yarmouth, Mass., December 30, 1948 The Board of Water Commissioners hereby submit the annual report of the Water Department for the year 1948. Present. number of Water Services 1063 Services Vacant 39 Gallons of Water Pumped 81,794,170 Stock on hand; estimated value $17.800.00 It is always -pleasant to report a steady- expansion of municipal services. It means more and more taxpayers are receiving the benefits of their tax dollar. This year the Water Department has installed 3500 ft. of 6 in. Water Mains. and 4200 ft. of smaller mains in town roads to help serve the public. We have installed 171 new services Nvhich indicates the fast moving growth of our town. • The elevated tank on the north side was repaired, sand blasted. and completely painted inside and outside. The Contractor. Mr. Leonard of Framingham, in signing the contract. agreed to maintain the tank for three years. The total cost was $550.00 in excess of the estimated price. Which brings up the fact that the Board of Water Com- missioners like everyone else, has been plagued by rising construction and material costs. As a result, it was necessary to transfer from .the Re- serve Fund approximately $1000.00 to meet end of year bills. The first of July, the Water Commissioners voted Mr. Ellis. Supt. and Mr. Pnlsifer pay increases. No increase had been given these employees in Feb. and as living costs had continued to rise, it was fell that these increases were just and proper. . In looking ahead to 1949, the Water Commissioners anticipate a further growth of the Water system. There 1 k-� 9. is a :demand for services, which, if. it continues, should add up to an additional 100 services by the end of the year. - Budget estimates show a substantial increase due to rising costs of construction and materials, and because of the fact that there are no longer any funds in the Water Extension 'Account.

Yarmouth Since the completion of our new Fire Station in West Yarmouth, a group of twelve men have been appointed •as fire fighters, and have been going through weekly drills for the past eleven weeks. The Alarm System is expected to be completed within the next few days connecting the South & West Yarmouth Stations. •— In all probability, we will take over the area which has been covered by the Hyannis Fire District on or about the first of February. Before any change is made however, the new set-up will be advertised in the papers, and cards will be printed._ When the change is made, all Fire calls will come into the South Yarmouth Station, Telephone Hyannis 1740-W-1 where there is someone on duty at all times. I would like, at this time, to thank each one of the newly appointed men for their fine cooperative spirit and attendance at each drill. It certainly has been a pleasure working with them, as well as with the group from South Yarmouth. In case of fire in South Yarmouth, Bass River or West Yarmouth, east of Mill Hill, call Hyannis 1740-W-1. Section vest of Mill Hill, including Hyannis Park, is covered by Hyannis Fire Department. The Hyannis Department will continue to handle this district until our tie-in is completed between the South & West Yarmouth Fire Stations. Call Hyannis 492-W until such change is made. After such change, call Hyannis 1740-W-1 for all fires within the area covered by the Town of Yarmouth, give name, location of property, what section of town, and street address. SIREN BLOWS: One blast at noon on weekdays. 93 Two blasts, fire from South Dennis line to River Street, Bass River. Three blasts, River Street, Bass River, to Berry Avenue, West Yarmouth.

I hereby submit my report for the year 1948: During the year the trees on the north side of our town, particularly the Elms, were. given -a thorough prun- ing, and in some eases removed by a qualified Tree Expert. I believe by doing the pruning at this time we have in- sured ourselves against any outbreak of Dutch Elm dis- ease. The breeding place of this disease being in the dead wood of an Elm tree, and then transferred to healthy trees by a carrier, namely the Elm Bark Beetle. A recent letter from the University of Massachusetts gives a dean record of this Town after a survey taken by them. Most of our large Ebns are the responsibility of the State of Massachusetts, Department of Public Works. It is the wish of the Tree Warden that organizations of the Town contact this department and request the replacement of any trees removed by them, so that our highways will not become barren of beautiful shade trees which are a part of our Cape villages. We are working each year to replace the trees that were lost by hurricane in the last few years. Each year our young trees are fertilized and in most cases are coining along fine. Sugar maples are planted as they are hardy and do not grow to great heights to be affected by future hurri- canes and winds. Any person wishing to have trees planted on the streets, providing that it is a Town way, I will be only too glad to work it out in the planting program. Your Tree Warden attends meetings of the Massa- chusetts Tree Wardens and Moth Superintendents Asso- ciation. and the Southern Massachusetts Tree Wardens and Moth Superintendents Association. In thee meetings we have experts speak to us and also engage in round table discussions, from which much practical knowledge is ac- quired. In this way I feel hat your town is keeping in 97 stride With the modern methods_ Any suggestions will always be given careful consideration by your tree warden. Respectfully submitted,. JOILN G. SEARS TREE WARDEN 3 REPORT OF THE TRUST FUND COMMITTEE Meetings of the commissioners have been held from time to time during the year for the allocation of money received in any of the funds under our care. The average income for the year was at the rate of 2.25%. Reference is hereby made to the report on the funds on a subsequent page. A. HAROLD CASTONGUAY Acting Chairman REPORT OF FISH AND GAME COMMITTEE Board of Selectmen, Town of Yarmouth, Mass. Gentlemen: We wish to report for the Fish and Game Committee as follows: _ The sum of One hundred dollars was spent for pheas- ants, and the balance used for plowing feet patches, seed, fertilizer, etc. Respectfully submitted, E. FRUEAN, JR. 3LATTHEWS C.. BALLET HER)L&N G. CURTIS 98 REPORT OF THE MOTH SUPERINTENDENT To the.Board of Selectmen and To the Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth. I hereby submit my report for the year 1948: This year a survey was.made. to check on the gypsy moth situation. This' was recorded on a Town Map and each year it will be compared and studied. This year airplane spraying was introduced and with successful results. In my 1949 budget I would like to triple my spraying from the air. 1948 acreage sprayed was 300 acres. After the survey in 1949 I will know exactly where to start to obtain the best results. In 1948 50& Wettable DDT was used in the spraying of our town trees but in 1949 we will use Resitox D-25, an--emtilsion-because--of its longer lasting qualities. This year a new hydraulic sprayer was purchased, hav- ing a 30-35 gal. per minute output and having a 400 gal. tank. This is equ;pped with a generator and flood lights for early morning or late evening spraying. This piece of equipment has a self starter and is available at 5 minutes notice for fires as it can be loaded onto any 11/2 ton track. Possibly next year I will ask for a Blower type sprayer 'to increase the effectiveness of this department. At present your Moth Superintendent is experimenting with an 8 tip nozzle to produce a wall of fog for woodland roadside spraying. As I reported in the Tree Warden report your Moth Superintendent attends meetings of Tree Wardens and Moth Superintendents so that the most modern methods of fighting insects may be .used in your town. Also by working with other moth men much can be gained by co- operative fighting of the pests that destroy the foliage of our woodlands and shade trees. Respectfully submitted, JOHN G. SEARS MOTH SUPERINTENDENT - 99 REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF POLICE To the Ho»orable Board of Selectmen and The Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth. I hereby submit the following report for 1948.

This entails a slight increase in our appropriation for 1949 which is a nominal amount considering the valuation of property requiring protection and the safety to be main- tained on the highways. Respectfully submitted, NELSON F. CRESSY, Chief of Police 101 DEPT. OF VETERANS SERVICES On March 24, 1947, the District. Department of Vet- erans Services for the Towns of Barnstable, Yarmouth and Dennis Was formed in accordance with the recommends- . tions and approval of the State Commissioner and recent State Laws. (Chap. 599, Acts 1946) On April first an office was established in Room 11, Barnstable Town Office Building, Tel. 688, Hyannis, with A. Earle Mitchell as Di-. rector in charge. The operating expenses of this central office is assessed to and shared by the three towns in pro- portion to their certified state valuation._ During the past months, veterans of all wars, their relatives and dependents living within and without the district have been given information and suggestions on their many problems in regard to discharges, bonuses, claims, hospitalization,• work, study, housing, unemploy- ment, insurance, loans, and so forth ;' by and in close. co- operation with federal, state, county and local govern- mental units together with the private and commercial agencies in the area. In addition to the assistance mention- ed the Director also administers as Agent the payment of benefits to our needy veterans as approved by the State Commissioner and personally visits each ease in town and throughout the district, including those from other cities and towns located here temporarily or permanently. As noted in the preceding paragraph, contacts of all kinds are continually being made in the form of service to our veterans and although from the best sources avail- able there are some 2800 former service people in the dis- trict. your Director hopes, for the benefit of the veterans themselves, to. be able in the corning year to complete 'a roster of all. In the meantime, he strongly suggests that all World War II Veterans who have not already bad their discharges photostated (no charge) at the County Court House do so at once; and all veterans of previous wars and also men still in service write their name, -address, outfit and war on post card and mail to Department of Veterans' Services, P. O. Box 686, Hyannis. A., EARLE MITCHELL, Director 102 REPORT OF SHELLFISH CONSTABLE -- Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth Gentlemen: 1 hereby submit the following report as Shellfish Con- stable for the Year ending December 31, 1948: Shellfish valued at approximately $28,496.00 were taken from the waters of the Town during this year. 1860 bushels scallops --iL .$6.00 $11 160 00 3200 bushels quahaugs @ $5.00 16 000 00 320 bushels oysters @ $4.00 1 280 00 14 bushels clams @ $4.00 56 00 $28 496 00 19S bushels of oysters purchased from the State were planted in Mill Creek, West Yarmouth; and in Bass River. We were unable to obtain the clam seed from the State as planned but we have been promised seed for the coming year. Starfish, which are natural enemies of scallops,' were found in increasing numbers in Lewis Bay this Fall. With the cooperation of the State and Barnstable officials, plans have been made to eradicate these pests. 30 bushels were taken out in drags. A large amount of these were sold to Harvard University for experimentation. Thirty-nine Commercial Permits were issued from which $195.00 was realized and turned over to the General Fund. One thousand one hundred sixty-six Individual Permits for Family Use were issued at no charge. Twenty-six warnings were given to persons violating the shellfish regulations. .Over twelve thousand miles were covered on patrol. Respectfully submitted, (signed) FREDERICK C. SCHAUWECKER Shellfish Constable • 1111 11.1 iu Yip 3 • 103 REPORT OF THE BARNSTABLE COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT For the Year 1948 Reports of communicable diseases received by this de- partment show that some of the minor childhood diseases were very prevalent in the county during the year. Both chicken pox and mumps were reported in greater frequency than during 1947. Cases of measles were fewer than during the previous year. Protection against those diseases where -a satisfactory immunizing agent is available: Viz: Small- pox, diphtheria and whooping cough has been well carried out in this county, with a consequent absence of both small- pox and diphtheria. and reduction in the number of cases of whooping cough. Diseases A.hose occurrence and spread in a community is usually associated with the physical environment of the people were not unduly prevalent during the year. One case of tularemia was recorded and one outbreak of food intoxication consisting of 17 cases occurred. IIowever, many unrecorded cases of mild or moderately severe gastro-iutestival disturbances have been noted. These were probably caused by various filterable viruses and their nature raises the question as to whether they might not be spread through water and food supplies. In this connection, it may be noted that of 152.private water supplies investi- gated by this department, 55 or 36% were not considered approved sources of drinking water. Protection of food supplies still occupied a major por- tion of the time of our sanitary inspectors and a survey of our records indicate improvements in this field. Some progress seems to have been made it the field of individual hygiene with particular reference to child hy- giene. This is to a great extent a matter of health education and this in our opinion is the most neglected phase of the public health program in this county.. 1 104 STATISTICAL DATA Department Activities: Communicable Disease Control: Case investigations Consultations with physicians Smallpox Vaccinations Diphtheria Immunizations Child Hygiene: Visits to Well Child Conferences School Children examined Child Hygiene:.

KNOWLES, Accounting Officer REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF WIRES To the Board of Selectmen, Town of Yarmouth, Mass. - Gentlemen: I hereby submit a summary of my activities for 1948. A total of 485 electrical installations were inspected, during which I covered some 40000 miles. - A storm in mid December iced up the distribution wires badly; and left some homes without heat and lights for several days. To the best of my knowledge there have been no fires caused by defective wires during the -past year. New building in the Town has reached an all time high, reflecting a healthy growth of the Town.

MONROE WM. P. FROST RICHARD B. TAYLOR Board of Assessors REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE 'l'o the Board of Selectmen Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Sirs: All over the country the case load of assistance is •growing in all categories and Yarmouth is no exception. In the year 1948, there was again 0 marked increase in the total number of cases aided. Our legislature. in 1948, under Chapter 638, passed an act providing for adjustments of bndgetary standards under the Old Age Assistance.law. As a resnit.of this act, the State Depart- ment of Public Welfare made mandatory an 8.3 percent increase m the assistance budgets of recip- ients of Old Age Assistance and Aid to Dependent Children. The continuous changes occurring in the case load means constant supervision by the social worker and staff, so that applicants and recipients receive the benefits for which they may be elig- ible. In 1948 there were 473 visits made and 2,995 miles driven to make these investigations. You will find below the changes which have occurred in our Old Age Assistance, Aid :to.

KNOWLES, Town Clerk. - 133 JOINT REPORT OFTHE PLANNING BOARD AND BOARD OF APPEALS The Planning Board has not been too active during the past year. However, at a meeting held a short time ago, it was voted to suggest to the Town that the Zoning By -Law be amended by making provision that permits must be used within 90 days and to require the filing of notice of inten- tion to build buildings of accessory use (although no license or fee be required). It is also thought necessary that the minimum lot size be brought up to 10,000 square feet. In most instances 6500 square feet for new development is much too small a lot and the only one who suffers is the individual who buys the lot and eventually the town who attempts to take over roads going through the development. The Planning Board, therefore, feels that this should be amended to bring the minimum lot size up to 10:000 square feet. This, of course, has only to do with the placing of dwelling houses and does not affect buildings for business purposes in a business district. As we have done in the past, the Board feels that the three garden plots should be continued and a proper am- ount of money raised for their maintenance and care. The Planning Board also feels very strongly that elms that are being taken down or being destroyed. by the Dutch elm disease or otherwise, be replaced at once and that steps be taken to plant other trees along both the State highways and the Town highways. Insofar as the State highways are concerned, it would seem that the State would have to take care of the matter, but something should be done to urge them .to do it immediately. In respect to the Board of Appeals, we have acted upon 29 appeals -25 of which were _allowed,.2 denied and 2 dis- missed. 734 The Chairman wishes 'to thank publicly the various members of the Board of Appeals for their sincere and earnest interest in the Zoning By -Law and in the workings of the same.

TAYLOR HOWARD B. MONROE WILLIAM P. FROST SELECTMEN OF YARMOUTH A true copy, Attest REGINALD LOVE, Constable 187 REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON EDUCATIONAL PLANNING December, 1948 Digest This digest of the ensuing report is here located, so that readers may quickly have a presentation of our rec- ommendations. In the many completely unbiased meetings your Com- mittee has held, many proposals have been earnestly and thoroughly gone over with an eye to eventually recommend- ing to the School Committee, and thereby to the town, the most efficient, adequate and logical solution to the problem caused by the town's "growing pains." As in the case of all towns facing a large expenditure of money which must be raised hi taxation, serious consideration of what is right, and finally most beneficial to the tax payers and their children, must -be considered. We sincerely tried to do this. Therefore, in summing up our recommendations, we would like to state them briefly and concisely, so that they may be readily understood without possibility of equivocation. - 1. That the School Committee take immediate action to have appointed a five -man building committee for the purpose of choosing a site, securing plans, specifica- tions and bids for the construction of a one-story, brick elementary school, architecturally similar to the present John Simpkins main building, completely furnished and equipped, which will include twelve classrooms, a com- bined auditorium -gymnasium, a cafeteria and such other space as may be required; and that a sum of money be requested for the purposes of this committee. 2. That the School Committee also request authorization for sufficient funds to renovate the present school build- • ing so that it may be more efficiently adapted for use solely as a high school, providing a modern educational and athletic program. 3. That proposals for additions to the present school be no. longer entertained. 4. That proposals for two -or three -classroom elementary 1 4 188 schools located• in various parts of the community be no longer entertained. 5. That the School Committee conduct studies to provide for an expanded recreational program. 6. That the School Committee request authorization from the town to further study and make long range plans for a regional high school in union with the adjacent towns in the future. I. Organization and Work of the Committee At the Special Town Meeting, June 4, 1948, the follow- ing .Article was passed: Article 17. To see if the Town will vote to authorize the Moderator to appoint a committee of nine members to be known as• the Committee on Educational Plan- ning, said committee to be comprised..of three members .of the School Committee, one member of the Finance Committee, one member of the Board of Selectmen, one member of the Parent Teachers' Asspciation and one member from the North, South and West sides of the Town for the purpose of studying, surveying and employing educational specialists in reviewing the present and planning the. future scholastic needs of the Town, to make recommendations to the School Committee and report to the Town at an Annual Town* Meeting and that the Town vote to raise and appro- priate a sum of money for the purposes of this Commit- tee. (At the request of the Finance Committee). *changed by amendment to "next Annual Town Meet- ing" On June 7, 1948, the Moderator, as instructed by Ar- ticle 17, appointed the following members to serve on the Committee: Robert M. Kelley Gorham Pulsifer Ralph Thacher Vernon Morgan William P. Frost William D. Kelly Alberto .W. Small . Winthrop Wilbur Roger '\ . Edwards At the call of the late Robert M. Kelley, who had been `lily 11.I 111 i 1 iu I 189 designated by the Moderator as temporary chairman, the • Committee met at the John Simpkins School during the . evening of June 14, 1948 and 'laid tentative plans for the studies it had been instructed to pursue. Also at this meet- ing, a permanent chairman, Ralph Thacher, was elected. At this preliminary meeting, it was agreed that two rather distinct courses of action presented themselves: (1) that of employing a consultant or group of consultants to make a thorough survey and subsequent report of Yar- mouth needs; (2) a study undertaken by the Committee members (admittedly and obviously laymen). As the ap- pointing article indicated that the first course should be undertaken, we felt our initial step was to secure the special- ist or consultant and, either in conjunction with, or follow- ing, his work, make our own studies. It was, therefore, agreed that an immediate request for assistance in securing an educational eonsultant or other qualified specialist in educational matters be made to various 'universities, the State 'Department of Education, and the Massachusetts Teachers Federation. • In -its search for a consultant, the Committee examined numerous references and survey reports and considei*ed for the task individuals and organizations both within and out- side the state. After serious consideration and an exchange of letters with some half dozen universities, graduate schools and individual specialists, we selected as our consultant, Dr. Jesse B. Davis, formerly Dean of the Boston University Graduate School -of Education, who has conducted upwards of one hundred similar surveys throughout the New Eng- land area. On engaging Dr. Davis, the Committee request- ed that he associate himself with one of several other edu-. cational consultants who had been recommended to us. We specifically asked that Dr. Cyril G. Sargent of the Harvard Graduate School of Education be approached on this matter. Subsequently, Dr. Davis reported that Dr. Sargent would assist him on the survey. Their work was initiated. on or about the 15th of July. The report which these gentlemen prepared and submitted appears as Appendix A to this report. Our rgreemen t with Dean Davis stipulated that the entire fee for his report was to be $1200. • rt 190 In following the second course of action, the Commit- tee has undertaken several other studies of school con- ditions, facilities and courses of study in both our own and -other communities, and as a result, we would like to offer a summary of certain fundamental requirements for any community that is desirous for its children to learn in the American tradition of democracy. Some of the -thoughts and statements in the following have been- extracted from a teacher's curriculum guide prepared by the Department of Education, Commonwealth of Massachusetts. In considering the basic principles in elementary edu- - cation, it is pertinent that the major purpose of elementary education is to insure opportunities for all the children to develop those fundamental understandings, skills, habits, attitudes, ideals and appreciations necessary for living in a democratic society. The curriculum, which is the sum of all the school -directed experiences of children, must be so in- terpreted as to foster maximum child growth. In accord- ance with this purpose, the elementary school must, insofar as the structure housing those children is concerned, pro- vide conditions that will foster growth in democratic liv- ing. In accomplishing this, it must be recognized that class rooms and other facilities should be provided, so designed that a program of child development can be carried out. This entails sufficient space in the various grades for- chil- dren and teachers to carry on individual and group ac- tivities in learning. There should be plenty of extra work space, tables, shelves, books, pictures, and such tools as art supplies, construction material, drill ---material. and so forth, also a separate library which will provide a great stimulus for children and teachers, also a playroom well lighted, ventilated and clean, which will supplement the playground, and serve as a meeting place for group instruc- tion. dramatic activity and visual education. As high school education is normally divided into five different courses (college preparatory, commercial, general, household arts and mechanical arts). special facilities should be provided to undertake proper instruction in these various courses. This entails the provision of many special rooms, viz., laboratories, shops, rooms especially adapted 191 for typing and other commercial subjects, a good usable . library, a gymnasium well designed and adapted to com- petitive sports and with room for spectators, etc. At this point, it might. be noted that your Committee 'feels that a more complete recreational program should be developed for the high school students, one that would provide ath- letic and recreational training for the great number of students unable to "make" the varsity or first teams of a given sport. - - In considering these fundamental requirements as re- lated to the Town of Yarmouth and its school enrollment, — we find a serious overcrowding in our present consolidated school. This first tends to make impossible the proper and complete education of any of our children. Second, it places an unreasonable burden on our teaching staff, who are forced to work under disadvantages that greatly im- pair their ability to turn out well educated graduates of our school system. Within the present school, every pos- sible space is utilized. Each classroom has extra rows of temporary desks. Rooms such as the library, the laboratory, the auditorium. the old town office section are used for classes and home rooms. The use of the auditorium as, a permanent classroom automatically prevents the introduc- tion and use of visual aids or group lecture work, which has become recognized as one of the most valuable inno vations in modern teaching for both elementary and high school children. The laboratory, due to the fact that it must be used for a homeroom, can no longer be advantage- ously used for its original purpose, because experimental apparatus, chemicals, and so forth, cannot be set up and left undisturbed. The library has ceased to exist as such, because it is in constant use for a capacity study group or a homeroom; this precludes the advantageous use of its books and other references. The cafeteria, designed for a normal load of three hundred now is overburdened with five to five hundred and fifty pupils and has become thereby greatly inadequate and is forced to operate from 10:30 a. m.. until 1 :15 p.m., in a series of scheduled lunch servings. The household arts section is now housed in a. food prepar- ing room for the cafeteria and is so restricted in its ac- 192 tivities by lack of Space and the confusion of lunchroom . attendants preparing food, that it is practically impossible for students to accomplish much of anything. The shop space, even though efficiently used, is inadequate for proper modern shop practice education. It has no storage space whatsoever, and, therefore, many desirable and necessary projects and instruction cannot be undertaken. The fore- going is a rather brief statement in support of the conten- tion that our consolidated school is definitely overcrowded to the point of becoming a very difficult place in which to educate our children to even take a place in the world, much less awaken them to the greater opportunities and respon- sibilities to which children of a town such as this should be privileged. II. Possible .Solutions As may be noted in Section VI of Dean Davis' report, a recommendation for a union high school is stressed. During conferences with both Dean Davis and Dr. Sargent, they urged upon the Committee the serious consideration of studying the possibility of forming a union high school district with the town of Dennis and possibly Brewster. These gentlemen sincerely feel that a better program of studies for the pupils concerned could be offered at the same or lower per -pupil cost than our present program affords. This plan is permissible under the laws of. Massachusetts,. the act providing for a joint representative school com- mittee and a fair pro -rata distribution of the financial sup- port. The regional high school provides more of an equality of opportunity for the boys and girls of a small community of limited resources with those of the larger and more wealthy urban centers. Many other areas (California, - Connecticut, New York, etc.) have promoted the formation of such districts quite successfully. The experiment is fairly new in New England, and it may be that it will come to provide an ideal solution of•the problems found in many small New England towns. Some of the advantages which can be foreseen are listed below: (a) The regional school can offer a greatly enriched and more extensive program. of •study than a small school; (b) A regional schoolof ap-. 1 193 proximately five hundred pupils is educationally more' ideal than that of a smaller enrollment, as it provides enough ._ pupils to insure a good guidance program and improved extra -curricula activities and would probably be a financial- ly better economical investment (Per -pupil cost would be reduced to the minimum possible) ; (c) It provides better teaching conditions and facilities, and because of its size, should attract the best of teachers. As an item of informa- tion on the formation of such a school district, the follow- ing is offered. A union high school district is set up sim- ilarly to a water or fire district.. A Board of Governors or School Committee with representatives of each partici- pating town is set up to conduct the business and adminis- tration of such a district. This beard would be empowered through pievious agreement among the towns to portion the various expenses, to act as does a school committee, to assume and discharge obligation of the district, and so forth. Certain disadvantages also appear in relation to the regional high school proposition: (a)• Perhaps the greatest is that of local pride in not having one's own school -in— one's own town; (b) The somewhat involved procedure of setting up the district and reaching a suitable agreement with the communities concerned; (c) Some problems of transportation might cause greater expense. Another solution is that of providing additional new space for our elementary classes. This could be accom- plished by an addition to the present building as outlined in Dean Davis' supplementary report (Appendix A), or through the erection of a separate building, or possibly through reverting to the old-fashioned plan of separate buildings in various parts of the town. III. Discussion We would like to convey in - this report a pertinent thought, and that is, we• are not a committee of experts, _ merely townsmen trying to complete a rather formidable study of school needs in a very short time, and therefore, we must necessarily confine ourselves to our interpretation of the facts as we laymen see them. We shall also comment on certain of the recommendations that the consultants 194 submitted, and due to ' local conditions' that we feel that the consultants do not fully understand, you may find our comments at variance with some. of their thoughts. Our main criticism of the consultants' report seems to lie in their failure to penetrate deeply into our school situation and to plan in more detail the future of our school needs. In considering the proposal of a•regional school, your com- mittee invited the Selectmen and School Committee mem- bers of the Towns of Dennis and Brewster to attend meet- ings at Yarmouth for the discussion of the possibility of forming such a regional high school district. The con- census of the nineteen present was that a regional high school to include grades 7 through 12 for the towns of Yar- mouth. Dennis and Brewster was that it seemed an ideal s,,lution to the problems of all three communities and well worth sincere, serious study. However, it was also brought out during our lengthy discussions that such a proposal would require a momentous amount of further study and most probably could not be brought to a point of agreement by the communities concerned for some time, and therefore would not be an immediate solution to the crowded con- dition now present in our Yarmouth consolidated school. Your Committee, therefore, decided to bypass the regional high-school proposal long enough to arrive at a solution for our own immediate problem. - Within the supplemental section of Dean Davis' re- port appears a layout plan of the additions to the present John Simpkins School, which he and Dr. Sargent have pro- posed as their "second best" recommendation. It will be noted that this proposal requires the removal of the present frame wings, which now houses on the westerly, the audi- torium, and to the easterly, the gymnasium. Again refer- ring to the plan, it may be seen that a two-story wing, housing twelve classrooms for elementary use, projecting into the present driveway and playground, is proposed. This would be considered as an immediate undertaking with the westerly wing using a combination gymnasium - auditorium and cafeteria to be added at a later date. These wings would be so constructed of brick as to be architee- �l 1 195 turaily similar to the main body'of the present school and •would result in a large single edifice housing a consolidated school program. There seems to be a general understand- ing throughout -the Town that the present John Simpkins School, which was erected in 1930, was designed to an- ticipate further growth in school enrollment by having provisions for the attachment of additional wings. In reality as studies of the past two years have brought out, adding to this building is a rather difficult and somewhat complicated task. Dean Davis' sketches present one of the most logical and feasible plans which have been ad- vanced. 'Many other sketches made in past years present variations of the addition idea. One has a wing projecting from the very rear center of the present main structure into the parking space.- Another, a building approximately where the, present memorial flag pole is and connected to the main building by an underground passageway, and so on. In the initial stage of the idea proposed by Dean Davis and his associate, the first requirement isthe removal of the present- auditorium, either by demolition or by actually mov- ing it to another location and then replacing it with the two- story twelve -room wing. This, of course, leaves the school without any common meeting place until such time as stage two was completed. Or, in the event the frame auditorium was moved and relocated on another foundation adjacent to the school, the problem of heating and the problem of get- ting school children to and from it in foul weather would become a serious one. In the event it was decided to remove for salvage the auditorium wing, a very negligible amount of money would probably be derived. The second stage, as may be seen in the accompanying layout plan, -requires the demolition .and salvage of our present gymnasium and its replacement with a combination gymnasium -auditorium and cafeteria more suitable to the needs of our school en- rollment. It also provides for renovation of the basement area of the present building so that ample shop space for au enlarged mechanical arts department could be provided. In offering a critique of•tbis plan, discussions with those most intimately concerned with the needs of our school .196 • children (the superintendent, principal and teachers of Yar- mouth) and in committee studies, various drawbacks have presented themselves: 1. _ It is a generally accepted principle in modern edu- cation that children of grade school ages should be segre- gated from high school students. Mention is made of this desirable feature in Section 111, Page 2 of Dean Davis' repori. It may be that the children occupying this proposed classroom wing would be segregated to a certain extent from those in the main building. However, as can be seen on the layout plan, the proposed cafeteria, the auditorium, and the gymnasium are so located that the grade school children would necessarily pass to and from them through the high school section. This. in itself, appears undesirable from the standpoint of congestion and necessary traffic noise. 2. It has become a serious consideration in the minds of many educators and others concerned with the safety and welfare of our younger children, whether or not it is advisable to have grade school children located on the second floor of any building. It imposes a heavy responsi- bility on the school officials charged with evacuating such an area in the event of emergency and the constant problem of moving children up and down stairs. 3. The p]aygrotmd and recess areas during .good weather. of both high school and grade school, would be in the same general vicinity, and thus noise emanating from _ here would conceivably and probably disturb those still in classes within the building. During inclement weather, it would be highly desirable that recess periods be spent in the auditorium -gymnasium, and this again would present traffic problems and most likely a mixing of high and ele- mentary school children. 4. In the event the present auditorium was relocated near the present building or the proposed grade school wing for temporary use as an auditorium, some problems of providing a protected passage to it and beat for it are presented. The relocation of this auditorium might also require some extensive expenditure in order that it would .not become an "eyesore." The demolition of the auditorium 197 w•onld. leave *the entire school body without facilities for dramatic effort, gatherings; visual education, and so forth. 5. The present school sewage disposal area is so over- burdened that it has become inadequate for the needs of the present building, and if any additions were constructed, a very serious disposal problem would arise. It would necessitate locating a new cesspool area, and just where this might be, other than in the playground area is a prob- lem of serious note. 6. The playground area now used by grade school children would be severely curtailed by the proposed wing and would necessitate a further expense in laying out an- other area. It also might possibly mean some reduction in the space allocated to the athletic field. 7. A point worthy of consideration is that one cafe- teria for -all Yarmouth School children, operated by a single • staff would be.incorporated in this proposal. S. All the necessary classroom space needed at the present moment and for a reasonable number of years ahead would be provided by these wings. 9. The advantages of housing all the school activities and facilities under one roof with centralized administra- tion, upkeep, and general maintenance could be realized under this proposal. This Committee, after having thoughtfully evaluated: the proposal of constructing _an_addition _u the form of two. wings in one or two stages to the present school, feels that such a plan would prove costly, probably more so than a separate twelve -room building which would include audi- torium facilities and a cafeteria, and for the reasons dwelt upon in our digest do not recommend it. .. IV. Conclusions The next solution which should be considered is a new elementary school located some distance from the present building. -This proposal is one which your School Com- mittee has previously recommended. In order to be of long-term value and to alleviate -the over -crowded condition, 198 it should be designed so that space for twelve classrooms, a small combined auditorium -gymnasiums and playroom, and a cafeteria be provided. The site chosen for this building should be so located that it provides ample playground area and good drainage, and nearness to our most populated. sections of Town (This would mean somewhere in either West or South Yarmouth). It would also be desirable to arrange its design so that all classrooms be located on a ground floor, thus providing the least hazardous means of ingress and egress. .Last year the School Committee em- ployed an architect to draw plans for .such a building. A study of these plans indicates that, insofar -as layout is concerned, they were thoughtfully and intelligently con- ceived to provide for every logical and reasonable need in establishing a good building for elementary school use. The plan referred to called for a frame construction through- out ; however, your- Committee feels that brick fire -resistive construction would be more desirable both from a safety standpoint and that of upkeep, even though possibly a bit more .costly to erect. In closing our report, ;ve would like to express our fullest appreciation fur the assistance rendered to us by our Yarmouth town and school officials and also to those repre- sentatives of the towns of Dennis and Brewster, who so ably assisted us in our studies. We should also like to comment on the premature passing of Robert M. Kelley on November. 22, 1948, whose sincere interest and active work in the interests of. the town through this Committee have been sorely missed. _ Respectfully Submitted, RALPH THACHER GORHAM PULSIIiER VERNON MORGAN WILLIAM P.

Davis, Cyril G. Sargent, Consultants I. The Present Schoolhouse Problem The Yarmouth school building was erected about 1931- 32 and was planned to accommodate from 350 to 400 pupils. For the school year 1947-48 there were 537 pupils enrolled. This means that the• crowded conditions have forced the administration to undertake makeshift arrangements that interfere seriously with the efficiency of the educational program and the welfare of the pupils. To understand how this has happened it is best to review what has taken place in the growth of the town and in the school enrollment. II. Trends of Growth 1. Population: The population in 1935 was reported as 2,095. The 1945 record is 2,461, with a possible slight increase during the past three years. While this is not as rapid an increase as in many communities, it shows a grad- ual, healthy growth which will probably continue as in the past.. 2. The Elementary Schools: Grades one through six have shown a steady increase from 162 pupils in 1931-32 to the high point of 272 in 1938-39, with a decrease to 212 during the war years from 1940 to 1945. Then there began an increase leading to the present enrollment of 248. This indicates a growth of about 72 per cent in a little over 20 years. This trend should be taken into consideration in planning the future housing of the elementary grades. 3. The High School: The Iligh School is classified as a. six-year school, including grades 7 through 12, with pupils from Dennis in grades 9. through 12: When this combina- tion began in 1931-32 there were 186 pupils enrolled. There has been a steady increase in these grades until the high point was reached in 1940-41 with 309 pupils. The war 200 years took their toll but not to the extent found in most communities.. The decrease has brought enrollment to 289 pupils. However, the growth in a 25 -year period has been ---about 55 per cent. This also mustbe considered in plan- ning for the future housing of the high-school grades. While it is difficult to predict the size of the high school because of economic factors -which condition the length of time some pupils remain in school, a rough indication of what might be expected may be gleaned from the general- ization that in Yarmouth the 12th -grade enrollment is ap- proximately that of the entering first grade twelve years previously. Thus the pupil mortality has apparently been approximately balanced by increases in the population, which have in turn affected the school. population. If we assume this general trend for the next ten to, fifteen years, it seems evident that the grades 9 through 12 may be ex- pected to be approximately 40 to 45 pupils each. A similar computation for Dennis would indicate that the combined high-school enrollment for grades 9 through 12 might be expected to reach 75 pupils per class and thus for the four years an enrollment of 300. If the 7th and 8th grades are added t� this figure. without including Dennis, it would indicate a high-school enrollment of at least 375 pupils. 4. The Birth Rate: So far as the records show, since 1934 there has not been the phenomenal growth in the birth . record in Yarmouth as in most con -annuities. The increase from 32 births in 1942 to 54 births in 1947, together with the experience that the number entering the first grade is always greater than the number of births recorded six years before, shows that Yarmouth has reached the point when it is necessary to plan for two sections or classes for each of the elementary grades. III. The Building Situation The present building was planned originally to house from 350 to 400 pupils in a consolidated school. No pro- vision was made for the proper segregation of the elemen- tary grades from the high-school grades in separate units as would be done today. -`201 - The central portion of the building is.'n*ell built and was evidently planned with the needs of the high .school in view rather than with those of the elementary grades. The two wings, of wood construction, are not so well- planned and are now quite inadequate. While the situation has become critically serious because of' the extreme over- crowding, it must be borne in mind that irrespective of this, the present school plant possesses inadequacies for a func- tionally up-to-date school program. Some structural changes are clearly indicated apart from the condition of overcrowding. With the present enrollment of 537 pupils,_ the educational program has had to be curtailed and very unsatisfactory makeshifts have had to be made. Practically every room is seated beyond its legal capacity, thus en- dangering the health and safety of the pupils. This con- dition also makes it impossible to conduct classes efficient- ly or to employ modern methods of teaching. Classes are being held in rooms not intended for the purpose. The first two grades have already been forced to the double - session plan. This crowded condition has also interfered with the high-school program of studies. A course , in Household Arts is offered on paper, but the room for cooking has be- come. the kitchen for the cafeteria and sewing is carried on in a -very small room. through which pcpils must pass to a similarly small room used for language classes. There is no room for the teaching of housekeeping, home nursing; first aid, and other activities considered essential to an ade- quate Household Arts program. Industrial Arts is limited to one shop such as is found today in the 7th and 8th grades of the junior high school. There is not sufficient space nor proper equipment for a full high-school.program in the Industrial Arts. The gyrnnasium is not adapted to a growing high-school program of physical education and competitive sports. There is not enough space for spectators for a basketball game. The shower and locker rooms are not adequate for the present enrollment. The situation is similar with respect to the auditorium. The stage is not adapted to high-school 4 1 202 - dramatics, concerts, or pageants.' The use of a part of the auditorium for an 8th -grade class is quite unsatisfactory, both from the point of view. of classroom facilities and _auditorium activities. The use of the auditorium for music and assembly programs is sharply restricted. The library is now used as a homeroom for seniors and as a study hall seven periods each day. Most of these difficulties are the result of the seriously crowded, condition, a condition which will become more embarrassing. each year. The very evident fact is that the situation has become intolerable and relief must. be found as soon as possible. IV. The Educational Needs of Yarmouth To provide the youth of Yarmouth with the education- al facilities that a satisfactory school system should have, and that any building projectshould take into considera- tion. the following items are listed: 1. An elementary-school building that will segregate the pupils in the first six grades from those in the high school. either in a separate building or in a definite unit of a consolidated school. This would include twelve modern classrooms and other essential facilities. If the elementary unit is a part of a consolidated school, these facilities may be used by both units in turn. 2. A high-school building for grades 7 through 12, with sufficient room accommodations to provide the efficient sec- tioning of classes in all subjects in properly equipped rooms. a library that can function as such, an efficient suite for household arts, a room for arts and crafts, a second shop for industrial arts and: mechanical drawing, a modern science laboratory for the natural sciences, more adequate administrative offices, and essential service 'facilities. 3. Both units need facilities for assembly and for physical education. a health clinic, and a guidance center. A good cafeteria is essential as well as out-of-door play areas and athletic field. 4. The community as well as the school needs a good auditorium for public meetings,*entertainment, and adult education. • 203 5. The high school needs a gymnasium large enough to accommodate spectators at basketball games and- other athletic events. Such a gyinnasium with • an adjoining cafeteria would not only .serve the school but would become a social and recreation center for the community. V. Factors to be Considered While it is a truism that in formulating a building program all possible factors entering into the problem must be given due consideration, it is well to emphasize this at the outset.. However great the immediate need may be,, temporary or makeshift measures are too often a costly waste of money. Wise planning is always longterm plan- ning. A well-planned and constructed building should render good service_ for from 25 to 50 years. Too many school buildings_ existing today are monuments, to errone- ous judgment. Among the items to be kept in mind are the following: 1. Yarmouth has had a slow but .steady growth in population and school enrollment in past years. A build- ing program should provide twelve classrooms for the ele-, mentary grades; with the plans drawn to show the possible addition of four more rooms as the need arises and without any unnecessary extra cost of construction. 2. The high-school situation is •definitely involved with the Town of Dennis. Without the pupils from Dennis, Yarmouth is hardly justified in maintaining a high school alone. On the other hand; Dennis is quite dependent upon Yarmouth for the education of its high-school pupils. High- school enrollment will gradually increase during the next decade, and eventually both Dennis and Yarmouth will have to arrive at some definite understanding. It is not fair to expect Yarmouth to bear the burden of building and maintaining a high-school plant and to provide the in- struction as well, in return for the tuition fees from Dennis, which do not cover the full cost. Nor is it fair for Dennis to pay this tuition when it is not possible under the crowded conditions to maintain a satisfactory educational program and when they do not have any direct voice in determining 204 school policies. The possibility of a union high-school dis- trict between these two towns is worthy of immediate se- rious study by all concerned. VI. Solutions of the Problem The following solutions are described for the purpose of suggesting four plans, three of which merit the consid- eration of the Committee in the attempt to find the. most efficient scheme that will meet the needs of the pupils and at the same time will prove to be the most feasible and economical in the long run. In all these plans, the future growth of the town and pupil enrollment has been kept in mind. • 1. A New Elementary Building Your consultants are aware of the fact that plans have been prepared for a new elementary-school building. How- ever, we have not studied these plans and whatever we report on a separate elementary-school building has no reference to prepared plans. A new building for grades 1 through 6 would have the benefit of separating the younger pupils in these grades from mingling with the older pupils in the upper grades, which is very desirable. Such a move would free space in the present building for the growth of the high school and the definite improvement of the program of studies. Some construction changes would be necessary in the present -building to adapt it to all high-school needs. On the other side of the problem are the following factors to consider. A new separate building necessitates, beyond the essential classrooms, a duplication of an assem- bly and playroom for physical education, a heating plant, an administrative office, nurse's room, cafeteria, and other service and storage rooms. There also would be extra ex- pense in maintenance and janitorial service beyond that of a consolidated school plant. The most economical school plant to maintain is one housing from 500 to 1,000 pupils. There is no question of the fact that the pupils of the elementary grades need classrooms that are planned and equipped to make possible a modern educational program 205 and. adapted to up-to-date methods of teaching. This they do not have in the present situation. 2. A New Union High School There is a very definite trend today to form union high- school districts combining two or more towns for the pur— pose pose of building and maintaining a high school. A number of such districts are now operating in the State of Con- necticut. While it has been permissive in Massachusetts in the past, the plan is now favored by= the State Department of Education and the laws are made clearer with respect t) how such a plan can be put into operation. A union .district eould well be -formed by Yarmouth and Dennis to the great advantage of both communities. Brewster. might also find it advisable to join in the com- bination. The arguments in favor of the union high-school district are as follows: • a. It makes it possible to provide a better program of studies with wider opportunities for the pupils than can be maintained by a small community alone. The small high school is forced either to offer a woefully inadequate program or to spend an exhorbitant amount per pupil to -- -- make available educational opportunities that are to be found as integral parts of the program of schools of more adequate size. b. _It is more_ economical because it spreads certain__ fixed costs over a wider _area. _ c. The regional school improves the entire territory by providing a school system that will attract more resi- dents. d. It provides an improved community center for adult education and activities. e. In this particular case it would alsoaidin solving the school building problem in Dennis_ It is our under- standing that the Dennis•elementary- school is overcrowded and that they are similarly concerned with building needs. If a six-year regional high school should be established, it would relieve the present Dennis. situation by removing the 206 7th and 8th grades from the elementary school. Should a union district be formed, it would leave the present building to serve as the elementary school. If this were done it would be necessary to make a number of al- terations and adjustments in:the building itself to meet tht; needs of the elementary program. Since the planning involved in setting up a regional school organization can be expected to consume some time, it would be necessary to make temporary provisions to re- lieve the present pressing situation. A bibliography on regional schools is attached to this report. 3. Al,aadon the High -School Program The high-school program could be abandoned in order that the building might be left to the elementary school and the Yarmouth high-school pupils sent to Hyannis by paying the tuition and transportation. As unpopular as this suggestion would be, it would be still more unpopular in Dennis as it would leave their high-school pupils With no convenient place to go. This certainly is not recommend- ed but is listed as a possibility. • 4. One or Two Small Elementary Buildings It has been suggested that one or possibly two small buildings be erected in the more populous sections of the town to accommodate the younger children nearer their homes. This would be quite desirable if the conditions warranted serious consideration. Before such a local unit should be organized there would need to be a sufficient num- ber of pupils in that area for a desirable educational pro- gram. It should be possible to form a class of 25 to 30 pupils in each grade. At the present time a small local school would have to be the rural type of combined or un- graded classes for each teacher. This would be a definite step backward and would handicap the pupils. The pupils would also. lose the advantages of many facilities unless the town was willing to provide this small school with a play and assembly room, cafeteria, equipped 207 playground and the privileges of a larger consolidated - school. The maintenance of heat, janitorial service and admin- istration Would also add• unnecessary expense to the . town. This actio is not recommended: 5. Erect Additions to Present Building • To erect an addition to the present building is not a . new proposal. In fact, plans have been drawn for suggested additions. None of these have been entirely desirable. How- ever, not all possibilities have :been exhausted. The most unsatisfactory parts of the present building are the wooden structures at the two ends. The gymnasium is inadequate for a full program of physical education and basketball.. This might well be replaced by a combined auditorium -gymnasium, and a cafeteria. Then by replacing the present inadequate auditorium by a wing that would serve independently as a unit for an elementary school for the -first six. grades, the entire centralized school system would be served. The advantages of this plan may be listed as follows: 1. The plan 'of a consolidated- school system would be preserved. 2. The elementary school would be a separate and complete unit for instructional purposes. and could use without serious interference the common. facilities of audi- torium -gymnasium and cafeteria. 3. Separate play areas could be provided. 4: The high school would have the necessary spaces for an improved program of studies and to care for expeetea increase in. enrollment. 5. The auditorium -gymnasium section. similar to that in Orleans. with improvements developed -since—that --was built: would serve both units of -the school system and the community with a needed educational and recreational center. 6. This plan is economically sound. An enlarged heat- ing plant would serve the entire system. One administra- tion would control the whole school including the janitorial 208 staff. Maintenance would be less than in two separate •buildings. The two wooden wings need not be considered a total loss for they may be either torn down and the mate- rial salvaged or sold as units to be "removed to another site. 7. This plan could be executed in two stages. The first project should be the elementary-school addition. The second project would be the auditorium -gymnasium, cafe- teria section. This could be done with little or no inter- ruption of the school work. The Ability of the Town to Finance a Building Program It is not within the province of this report to discuss the actual costs of the several proposals. This can safely be done only after -corking drawings have been prepared. It is; however, pertinent to ask whether or not Yarmouth can afford to finance an adequate building program. While there are many ways of measuring the financial ability of a town, one of the most effective for school:pur- poses is to compute the amount of taxable property behind each pupil. Table I lists the relative position of Yarmouth among selected towns in Massachusetts. These figures are to be considered in terms of a state average of $12,540 per pupil. Thus Yarmouth•stands well up among the more able communities of this State in terms of this measure of ability to provide educational facilities. Towns under 5,000 Population Charlton N.

Chap- ter 645 of the General Laws provides that the State will bear a certain portion of the approved cost of school build- ing construction, as determined by a formula which takes into consideration the financial ability of the town. In the case of the town of Yarmouth, the State will pay 20 per cent of the approved cost of construction. .The State payments will be made in five equal annual installments, if 50 per cent or less of the money is made available from the sale of bonds or notes; otherwise, in a series of equal annual installments determined by dividing the total State grant by the number of years during which any indebtedness in- curred shall remain outstanding. For a regional school the State will pay, in the case of Yarmouth and Dennis, or Yarmouth,. Brewster, and Den- nis. 25 per cent. of its share of the total cost. Thus the State seeks to stimulate the reorganization of more effective school attendance and administrative units. Recommendations Your consultants are agreed en the following recom- mendations: 1. That the Special Committee take immediate steps to investigate the possibilities of forming a regional high- school district with the neighboring town of Dennis and that the possibility of including Brewster also be consid- ered. This regional school we believe to be the most desir- able, effective, and efficient solution to the problem of providing adequate educational opportunities for the chil- dren. youth, and adults of Yarmouth. If. and only if, this proposal meets with approval, that certain temporary steps be taken to relieve the present crowded conditions, such as the use of the gymnasium for classroom activities or the use of part of the town hall or any other available space. _ 2. If the regional high school proposal is not adopted, 210 that the present school buildiii- b- used,as the basic unit in a consolidated elementary -high school 'building. This will -require the removal of the two wooden wings and their replaceinent by an ..auditorium -gymnasium and cafeteria, and an elementary classroom unit of •twelve rooms. If this plan is adopted, it is further recommended that certain changes be made in the present building to more adequately provide facilities for a varied and effective program for: the secondary -school unit. 3. The proposal to build an independent elementary school is not recommended because of additional costs of maintenance and in particular because it does not satisfae- torily solve th.e needs of the high school. 4. A definite understanding regarding. the sending of high school pupils from Dennis to Yarmouth in future years should be negotiated. now whether a union district is formed or Yarmouth improves its school plant. 5. The existing badly crowded condition in the present building and the rapidly increasing enrollment in the ele- mentary grades have created a very serious situation. Ac- tion on the part of the town at the earliest possible •time is imperative. October; 19.48. Bibliography on Regional.

Supplementary Report to the Town of .Yarmouth on the School Building Problem At the last meeting with the Committee your consultants were asked to prepare a supplementary- report giving fur- ther details regarding recommendation number 2 suggesting additions and remodelling of the present building to house both the elementary and secondary schools.. Before describing the possibilities of this plan, we wish to emphasize again the statements made in the original report in regard to the high school situation. The present crowded condition has brought about the necessity for action, but the solution is not to be found in merely pro- viding more classrooms. It also demands a satisfactory and fcictioning program of studies in the high school accom- 1 nta 1 l .'ta' i .

This is the equivalent of nine and one half standard classrooms. The elementary school when removed will provide seven of these rooms. Therefore, whether, the town builds an elementary school as an addition or a separate building, the old building would have to be remodelled to the extent that the above requirements demand. • It is evident that such alterations would prove costly. Therefore, we repeat that using the present school as an elementary= school, and then building a new Union High School for grades 7 through 12 for both Yarmouth and Den- nis would be the best educationally and economically for both communities. Elaboration of Recommendation No.. 2 To illustrate what could be done to meet the needs of both the elementary school and the high school by adding to and remodelling the present building, an architect has been tl secured to sketch plans. These floor -plans show how the construction could be undertaken as three projects but with some•over-lapping in each case. This plan assumes the desirability of doing away with the two wooden wings now existing. Both the auditorium and the gymnasium are now inadequate and have outlived their usefulness for high-sehool education. The materials in these wings could well be salvaged. Step No. 1 Elementary School Section ► The elementary school would be a complete unit includ- ing the following areas: 1. Twelve standard elementary classrooms. 2. Principal's office. +�+ 3. Office of Superintendent of Schools. 4. Health Clinic. 1 216 5. Teachers' room. 6. Boys' & Girls' toilets on each floor. 7.

J 1 220 REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS I herewith submit my third report as Superintendent of Schools and the fifty-seventh report in the series of an- nual reports by the Union Superintendent of Schools of Yarmouth, Dennis and Brewster. - School Housing Problem A perusal of the school reports for the past ten years will show that with monotonous regularity the request has been for more adequate space in order to administer the facilities of your school. The children are yours, the schools are yours and the responsibility of providing adequate educational facilities for your children are yours. Dr. Davis, -the educational expert employed by the educational planning committee, points out in his report to that body that Yarmouth stands well up among the more . able communities of this State in terms of measure of ability to provide educational facilities. 'The need still exists and is now more urgent than ever for the following: 1/ Adequate space for the elementary school 2/ Adequate space for the cafeteria 3/ Adequate space for the organization of a vocational household arts department 4/ Adequate space for the organization of an expanded manual arts department 5/ An adequate gymnasium and auditorium 6/ Adequate health and nurse's room 7/ Adequate elementary recreation room School Finances A word at this time concerning the costs of your school to you may help clarify future thinking when the school and a building program is considered. This past year, 1948, a total of $117,864.00 was provided 221 for the school department by the Town. During the year. a total of $38,381.17 was returned to the T own on account of schools. This amount was. made up of State Funds, tuition from Dennis, Bo:Aton, and State wards and miscel- laneous money. • Subtracting the school income from the school appro- priationleaves a net cost to you, the taxpayer, of $78,713.77: . In relation to your $33.20 tax rate this past year, $9.128 of it was spent for schools. Teachers Changes • Schools opened on September 8, 1948, with the- follow- ing changes in the teaching personnel: Miss June Bliven, a graduate of Iowa State, replaces Miss Toini T. Ilemmila, who resigned on account of mar- riage. Due to the large enrollment of the first grade, it was necessary to divide the class and employ another teach- er. Mrs. Katharine 11. Wilde has the. other first grade teaching position. Miss Grace J. O'Neill, a graduate of Emmanuel Col- lege, replaces Mrs. Elizabeth M. Cockle, who resigned to go to Nebraska to live. • Miss Elizabeth A. Turner, a graduate of the University of Maine, replaces Miss Helen Miazga in the Senior -English Department. Miss Miazga•resigned from teaching to study for her. master's degree. Miss Priscilla M. Tinkham, a graduate of Boston Uni- versity, replaces Miss Catherine A. Williams in the Com- mercial Department. Miss Williams resigned to go to an- other position nearer' her home. Miss Marie C. Honney was employed to fill the vacancy in the foreign language department. Miss Honney is a graduate of the University of Massachusetts .and Middlebury French Graduate School. Professional Improvement Many of our teachers have been attending classes under the auspices of Boston University this past fall. The pur- pose of these classes was to disseminate the latest knowledge in regard to the use of visual aids in the class room. • 11 11 1111111 222 Repairs Repairs to the building this past year included: 1/ Painting the exterior and trim of the building. 2/ Gutters on the back of the building were replaced and the roof resurfaced back three feet and other roof repairs were taken care of. 3/ A new wooden, picket fence was constructed on the east side of the school property. • 4/ The basement, shower rooms, lower corridors and boiler room were painted. 5/ Desks in room 202 were refinished and repaired. 6/ Sump pumps were reconditioned and put in proper working order. 7/ All minor repairs were made throughout the build- ing. Needed Repairs and Alterations Repairs and alterations which should be taken care of during the corning year are as follows: 1/ Interior painting should be continued. 2/ Inadequate lighting facilities of building should be • corrected. • 3/ Driveways and walks should be reconditioned. 4/ Work should be continued toward completion of playgrounds. Conclusion I wish to thank the members of the Yarmouth Fire De- partment for their donation to the Christmas Party at the school. I wish to express my appreciation for the courtesy and co-operation received from the Yarmouth School Committee and to the many people of the Town who gave me full meas- ure of encouragement and support this past year. Respectfully submitted, ALFRED R. KENYON Superintendent of Schools 1 223 REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL Mr. Alfred Kenyon Superintendent of Schools Yarmouth, Massachusetts • Dear Sir: 1 am pleased to submit my annual report as principal of the John Simpkins School. - -- Commencement Fifty-four members of the class of 1948 received di- plomas from Alberto W. Small, chairman of the school com- mittee, at the second graduation to be held in the Dennis Playhouse. Earlier in the week the Baccalaureate. Service was held in the auditoriums with the Rev. Robert C. Dodds in charge. Class Day exercises were held inside because of inclement weather. After several years of appealing to the public for con- tributions in the form of graduation awards and scholar- ships, the results have been most gratifying. Outstanding among the new awards, made for the first time at this graduation, is the Ann Castonguay Memorial Fund to be given annually by her parents. This award of $200 is made to an outstanding and deserving senior to be used toward further education. The Yarmouth Teachers Club also gave two scholarships of *100 and *50 respectively. Cash awards for excellence in English were offered by the South Yar- mouth Woman's Club and prizes for high achievement in Mechanic Arts and Ilousehold Arts were given by the Dlothers' Club. These, together with the existing Robbins and West improvement prizes have brought the total awards to over $400. In addition to these, Gertrude Lawrence and Richard Aldrich presented two medallions for excellence in dramatics. The list of awards another year will be aug- mented further by a scholarship of $50 to be offered by the Weyar Matrons of West Yarmouth for the study of nursing. The school is most grateful for this evidence of interest on the part of the citizens and teachers. 224 Graduates Of the fifty-four graduates, fifteen are now attending various colleges- or similar schools of higher learning, five are in nursing schools, three are in secretarial schools, one is studying- phisiotheraphy, one is married,. three are in the armed services, six are working at home and twenty are employed at various occupations. The record of Yarmouth graduates who have prepared for college continues to be outstanding and merits some discussion at this point. Of those graduates of 1948 who sought admission to college, all were successful in a year of severe competition. Among the colleges for which grad- uates successfully passed College Entrance Board Examina- tions. or were admitted directly were Colgate, Yale, Mas- sachusetts Institute of Technology, Wellesley, Smith, Nas- son. Nazarine, Michigan, Southern Methodist, Dartmouth, Boston University, University- of Massachusetts and the State Teachers Coll, ges. In every instance reports of in -college work have been most favorable with not a single failure reported. One student a.t Yale, has attained the Dean's List and others are expected to do so when semester reports are released. Of an equally high order is the work of those graduates who • elected to attend business college or nursing schools. Several letters and reports_attest to the. excellent work achieved. Consistent with this record is the fact that graduates who rank high in the commercial department continue to be employed in the better positions and_are.sought even before graduation. - Enrollment The high school enrollment for the present school .year is as follows: Algebra I Algebra II .

Miss Tinkham, who succeeded Miss \Villiains, is doing excellent work in revising and expand- ing the program. The purchase, by the school department, of several types of modern office machines is a most for, ward step. There are now available five types of office machine equipment, including calculators—.and ediphone Few if any high schools are better equipped to train for work -experiences. • • Much can and should be done in other vocational fields for a major portion of the students if and when adequate facilities are provided for shop work and home economics.

Plans are now completed to bring to the school next year the most outstanding series of pro- fessional school assemblies in the country. This is made possible by the increased revenue from the several ac- tivities. Starting January 1, a finance committee from the Stu- dent Council will work in conjunction with the principal in the supervision of all financial matters pertaining.to stu- dent activities. This is at the request of the principal and will give student representation in handling all school fin- ances which are rapidly approaching substantial figures. - Cafeteria With food costs continuing to rise until recently, op- erating costs of the cafeteria have reached a new high. Ex- cellent management on the part of Mrs. Keveney and her assistants have resiilted in a substantial balance in spite of this fact. The financial statement, as furnished by Mrs. Keveney, follows:.- - - Cash receipts • Federal Subsidy $12 999 41 2 855 94 Total receipts Operating Expense $15 855 35 15 069 07 Net•Profit $786 28 Audio -Visual Education In recent years more and more emphasis has been placed upon the use of audio-visual aids as a teaching me- dium. The value of this type of education was thoroughly proven by its. extensive use and complete success during the recent war. Here again, as in the commercial depart- ment, the purchase of new and modern equipment by the school department has undoubtedly placed this school among the leaders of those offering the advantages of a•complete audio-visual program: •There is now available for use in all twelve grades, equipment and material which will per - 227 snit any teacher to supplement andenrich her program through the'use of motion pictures, film -strips, recordings, and radio. There are also available for the use of all, a tape recorder to be used in the study of speech and music, an opaque projector and also a microscopic projector for science classes. This excellent equipment and material, together with the fact that a large group of faculty members is now studying an extension course- in this particular field, means that the teachers are in a position to make immediate and extensive use of these valuable teaching aids. In Conclusion It is felt that the building can no lor.ger be stretched physically to provide for future growth. The last possible move has been• made in transferring the sewing classes to a basement room already in use by the cafeteria. This move, even though unsatisfactory, has relieved the first grade congestion. However, further growth can only increase the size of the individual classes until such time as someform of building program is undertaken. With the new football field successfully used for the first time this fall, it is sincerely hoped that provision may be made to insure completion of the baseball unit. In closing please accept my sincere appreciation for the complete cooperation which I have received from the school officials in the school's administration. Respectfully submitted, Norman B. Dinsmore, Principal VOCAL MUSIC SUPERVISOR'S REPORT Herewith is submitted my fifth annual report as super- visor of vocal music in the John Simpkins School, Bass River, Massachusetts. In the elementary school we . are continuing our cor- relation of singing, listening, rhythmic response, creating 228- and 28 and enviromuentin our music program. The children enjoy singing and look forward to the music classes. The sixth grade has been listening to a program on Music Appreciation conducted by Arthur Fiedler. One of the students received a letter from Mr. Fiedler, which added to the interest of the class and it has been found that this program carries over from school to home, which is what we are striving for. Other listening music in the grades consists of "Guess the Music"—selections which are played at the end . of the music lesson. The children' try to recognize the music and, if they are not successful, they will listen to the radio or sing the theme to someone hoping to find the title of the song. Tapping out various rhythms is always fun,. and the children take pride in any .songs they have created. The words in the songs themselves have a more vital meaning as I have brought pictures and parts of costumes from various countries. This has stimulated greater interest. This year I am striving to educate without the student realizing he 'is being educated. Activities during the past year of the elementary school were participation in the annual June Concert and the June Festival. New books were purchased this fall for use in the junior high school which have proved to be very successful. The pupils of the seventh and eighth grades entertained the first and sixth grades in a Christmas program. This was the outcome of their class work. The -teachers commented upon the self assurance of the boys and their participation in the singing. The High School presented the operetta, BITS OF BLARNEY, on March 17, 1948: A lot of hard work and long hours went into making this production a success and it was received with a great deal of enthusiasm. Miss Jane Allen and students painted the scenery for the operetta and Mrs. Melva Clift and her students made the costumes for the players. The proceeds of this presentation was put into a fund for a new curtain for the auditorium.

COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT REPORT As a new teacher in Yarmouth High School, I welcome the opportunity to write this brief resume of the work accomplished and tentatively planned in the Commercial Department. I would not be a teacher of commercial sub- jects unless I believed wholeheartedly in the work, for I believe that such subjects taught and studied enables a student to gain a foothold in the business world, for a working knowledge and understanding of the demands of a highly competitive business open a door to further re- munerative employment and advancement. A graduate of an accredited high school today has a greater challenge than ever before, and that challenge and competition will increase. It is the responsibility, of the school to train its students to meet that challenge, and as a teacher, I welcome that opportunity and personal re- sponsibility. The commercial course should be open to all boys and . girls who are both interested and able to do the required work. My experience has been that boys do equally as well as -girls, and in many instances do better in their chosen field of study. I wisb it were possible for Senior boys and girls to have -remunerative actual working expe- rience "in the field" before they graduate. for I should like to have those students pool their experiences before receiving the diploma which qualifies them as graduates and 230 citizens ready to earn their own living. Such inforination would enrich the training of the undergraduates by point- ing out the actual requirements, and it would also increase the desire to meet those requirements. - Proper and modern equipment is necessary ,to train such students, and the new calculating machines which have been recently purchased are personally. appreciated by me, and I wish to take this opportunity to publicly thank both Mr. Alfred R.. Kenyon, Superintendent; and Mr. Nor- man B. Dinsmore, Principal, for their outstanding co- operation with me and the school which has made this new equipment possible. With new equipment and supplies, I shall endeavor to the best of my ability to train students) and graduates of Yarmouth High School to qualify for business positions. Any criticisms and suggestions brought to my attention will be appreciated. The following commercial subjects are discussed in the order of the school clay, not in the order of importance, for it is the attempt of the commercial department to provide a student with a well-rounded course. The course is so arranged that one subject increases the value and interest of the other. I especially desire that students receive a practical knowledge, and it is my attempt "at textbook material be supplemented as far as is possible by concrete working examples. General Business, or Junior Business Training, is a subject studied by Sophomores. As is true of many sub- jects studied, the smaller the class the greater amount of helpful, individual instruction and attention pupils may receive from the teacher. Individual ability, capacity, and interest is personally aided by the teacher; students have an opportunity to "think aloud" and share opinions and ideas. The • objectives . of Junior Business Training' are to re- ceive personal -use values as well as social -economic. Fun- damental skills of spelling, reading, and arithmetic- are developed, and emphasis is placed on exploratory and pre- vocational future opportunities. It aims to arouse a desire and interest in the business world; or if it does -not -sug- 231 gest vocational training, the student is given opportunity to change his. course. Appreciation of family unity and co-operativeness was illustrated by the study of personal and household budgets; a debate on "Installment Buying is More Economical Than Cash Buying" took place. .Em- phasis is placed on students as consumers, and opportunity • is given to learn to discern and distinguish between buy- ing and selling points of labels on merchandise. Actual labels were brought into class and discussed. - "Learn to be observing" was a prime factor in such a demonstration. A unit on the Telephone, its usage, purpose, types of service, charges, and the procedure and telephone tech- niques have been studied. Student participation is en- couraged, for students gain knowledge from the pool of experiences of each other. Other forms of communication— cablegrams, telegrams, radiograms were incorporated in this unit.. Letters, their forms, style, type of stationery, were also studied. We do more than read about communi- cation or ally special field, for actual practice is encouraged as far as it is possible. Telegram and money order blanks were obtained and filled out. Business subjects are not a "reading about," but an "active participation in," for we learn by doing. .An appreciation of the value of money is attempted through the practice in keeping a budget, abuse and—use of credit, etc. A cash register was obtained by me, brouE,at into the classroom, and the actual making of change was performed. This actual practice is but one illustration of what the commercial department of Yarmouth High School must incorporate into its business course, and I am proud to have the opportunity to supervise this practice. The aim of this course, as is true of all other courses, is to help each and every student in better preparing himself to become the citizen of the community, county, state, and nation that is needed today. Shorthand classes, beginning and advanced, are specific in nature. Stress is placed on "mailability" of a letter, for there is no degree of accuracy in a letter—it is either mailable or not, and Senior students in their study of short- _ 232 hand receive credit only- for those letters which are mail- able. A letter is a material evidence of a person's person- ality and frequently- the only selling contact between in- dividuals. This factor is understood by students. We must write mailable letters, and a letter executed by a typ- ist, stenographer, or secretary is the only representative. Students are encouraged to compose their own letters, to recognize both good and poor factors, and to be critical. Shorthand speed is only encouraged as far as accuracy is evident. -"Cold notes" are encouraged. A student is fortunate in Yarmouth High School to receive out -of -class experience as secretary to Mr. Norman B. Dinsmore, Prin- cipal. Corning new to the school as I have, 1 shall lay stress upon • the immediate visible opportunity- of "doing your best" from your first contact with the business course in preparation for becoming. the_high school secretary. Yar- mouth High School is not in competition with advanced secretarial training in accredited business schools and col- leges, but it will provide those interested and capable stu- dents the best commercial training available in a high school. In Bookkeeping. the double -entry system is used, stu- dents receive daily actual experience, for all work is done in. correct form on bookkeeping paper. Bookkeeping is - useful to all, boys and girls, whether in business, personal affairs, or even if they- become either employers or em- ployees. A very definite concrete awareness—of_the neces- sity of paying taxes, social security, federal and state in- come, etc., is understood, and adequate, up-to-date, efficient planning and management of a set of books is necessary today. The entire Bookkeeping work is done in ink. All work receives credit for both neatness and accuracy, for it is's known fact that neatness makes accuracy- possible. Not only must adequate daily records be kept. but students learn to evaluate and interpret such records. Individual and group discussions are encouraged to learn if cost ex- ceeds income. what contributing factor or factors encouraged net loss, etc. Students are made aware of the many ac- { . 233 counts necessary- in conducting a business; that such an account titled Miscellaneous must be further _broken down into separate readily -identified accounts. An overall pic- ture of the comparison of expenses and income, assets and liabilities, and proprietorship is made through the actual carrying out of varied fiscal period records. . Fundamental principles of business methods, budgets, bookkeeping, and interpretation of records will be of con- crete benefit to students selecting the course; for if one never keeps a set of books, it does give him an understand- ing and appreciation of our great economic society. Each student operates to some extent as a business, for he must be aware of his expenses and income in order to be an in- telligent consumer today,_and he must learn to systematically save so that he may become an even more intelligent con- sumer tomorrow. All students in Bookkeeping will keep -the records of a wholesale grocer for the fiscal period of cue month. An understanding of such a business and its operation is de- veloped through the. actual handling and recording. of business papers, records, and reports. A great satisfaction in Bookkeeping. as perhaps is not possible in other subjects, is proof of accuracy. The information and attitudes of neatness, accuracy, orderliness, and system may be trans- ferred to all subjects studied. Senior Office Practice students receive varied training. 1 am attempting this year to have each student -keep out- lines, examples, and illustrations of work done in the course so that. it may enable them to have ready reference mate- rial, and illustrations of their work which may aid them in securing. a position, also textbook information which has been carefully simplified for readiness of use. This mate- rial is for their personal use. Senior Office Practice students are privileged this year to have the opportunity to learn methods of operating new and modern calculating machines. Such practice will be done on the Victor Adding Machine. Sundstrand Electrical Calculator. and the Friden Automatic Calculator. Ad- ditional Mimeograph training will he receiv-ed, and- a very 234 thorough training on the use of the Ediphone will be re- ceived by all Office Practice students. Immnediately after the return of the Christmas vacation, all Office Practice students will have a very comprehensive course in Business Filing in which they will be taught the purpose of systematically filing of all records. This ex- perience will be received through the individual filing of actual letters and telegrams by Alphabetic, Numeric, Sub- ject, Geographic, and special systems of Coding. Stress will be placed on the rapid ability of locating filed material. Students in Typewriting are encouraged to be in com- petition with themselves and also to watch their individual gain in speed and accuracy. This visible evidence is care- fully kept by daily individual charts. When students have become consciously aware of their own progress, they then enter into group competition. Speed and accuracy are the keynotes of typewriting. Advanced typists will receive a knowledge and importance of legal documents, for they will have practice in typing wills, preparation of legal Backing Sheets and Endorsements, Probate of Wills, etc. Much varied experience will be gained through the use of the Mimeograph, typing multiple copies by practice in fill- ing in Invoices and many other:business forms and.papers. The entire work of the Commercial Department is closely knit together through the use of the Gregg Writer, a monthly, world-wide magazine published in New York, for commercial students. This up-to-date informative mag- azine is subscribed to by the students, and shorthand and typewriting projects are completed each month. Certifi- cates and awards are received by qualifying students. My previous experience with the use of the magazine has been the stimulation of .much interest through the. use of correct constructive competition. I wish -to place emphasis and importance on this educational magazine,and my wish is that more students will participate in its subscription. All commercial students are actively engaged in• con- structive, practical business training. They learn to be self - 235 reliant and independent, and yet to be co-operative as a progressive unit.

Tinkham 236 SCHOOL NURSE'S REPORT .The school health program during. the past year bas followed much the same pattern as in previous .years. Our routine work includes inspection of individual children as well as classroom inspection, consultations with teachers and parents in regard to problems of, health, weigh- ing of pupils to note normal amount of gain or :loss of weight, assisting the school 'physician with the annual health examinations, and notifying parents of all defects found at that time. 'We give tests for vision and hearing, using the Massa- .ehusetts Vision Test for the eyes and this year we have a new Maico audiometer to use for the hearing test. - n e have assisted with the Dental Clinics sponsored by the Board of IIealth and held at the school building. We have also held the Toxoid clinics and the Eye clinic sponsored by the District Nursing Association of Barnstable, Yarmouth and Dennis for the benefit of the school children of the three towns and held annually at the Cape . Cod Hospital. We endeavor in every way possible to help families with the correction of defects and are grateful to kcal organiza- tions who have helped us in a financial way. At this time we wish to express our appreciation to all -our co-workers for their unfailing co-operation.

Today we've come to parting, Each goes his separate way, To vast and unknown futures, Let's not be sad, let's be gay. 247 There's always grief at parting, Let us be led by the star, That has guided us while learning, Though it's seemed distant and far. May faith and courage be with us, On life's uncharted sea, We've knowledge, understanding, Of what we want to be. Farewell to all our school days, Teachers and friends all adieu, We've challenges that must be met, Before life's journey is through. = Class Officers — President Vice -President Secretary Treasurer Robert H.

That is about 14%, which represents a 2% increase in the salaries of regular employees; 2% for Labor; and 10% for all other expenditures. At the annual meeting last year the Finance Committee in a supplementary report recommended that certain ar- tieles, such as an addition to the fire station in South Yar- mouth. the painting of the interior of Lyceum Hall and others which they had previously recommended, be in- definitely postponed, because it was then apparent. that if all our recommendations were followed it would result is a considerable increase in the tax rate. The Selectmen have included these articles in the War- rant for this year being of the opinion that it is their duty to bring to your attention and recommend articles for the improvement and maintenance of the property for which you hold them responsible. The Finance Committee agrees in this opinion and feels that as a finance and advisory com- mittee they share in this responsibility. It is also our re- sponsibility to point out that any appropriation must be re- flected in the tax rate. The decision then becomes yours. The Assessors, having received from the Commissioner of Corporations and Taxation the estimates of State and County taxes, which are over $14,000.00 more than last year and having compared the recommended appropriations in . 40 the W\ -arrant with the estimated receipts and available funds,_ now estimate that the tax rate for -this 'year .will be about $40.00 per thousand. As unpleasant as it is to pay the in -- creased eosts it should be realized that for the..most part . they are for the expansion and imiprovement.of the services-' which you, the people, have requested. • . At this time, please note that Article 8 in your Recom- • mendations is erroneously marked 'Recommended. Please • inarkthis article Not Recommended in. your books. • Robert A. Hill reported for the committee on Civil Service. as called for by Article 9 of the Town Meeting of February 11. 1947 as follows: "We the undersigned com- mittee, having been duly appointed by the moderator, have investigated the` merits of Civil Service, as called for by Article 9 of the Report of the Town Meeting of February 11, 1947. We find that there is no restriction on the size of the comnnntity that may have employees under Civil Service. There is also, no specified number of employees -that a town roust have to qualify for Civil Service, and there is no re- quirement as to how many, or which, of its employees a town shall include under Civil -Service. It is our conclusion, however, that Civil Service Reg- ulations are designed for, and are most beneficial. to towns of 5.000 population or over. Many of the provisions of Civil Service are completely desirable, especially, the factor of protecting an incuinbent, who is doing a good job, in holding his job; we believe, though, that these desirable provisions can be achieved without adopting Civil Service." Robert A. Hill William B. Letteney Joseph P. Slattery Mrs. Mabel P. Lyon reported for the committee • on Town Management as follows: "After careful study of Statistics and charters of towns now operating under Town Manager government. we find it. has sufficient merit to war- -41 t:ant further study and should be considered with care and without haste; therefore, we .make the following recommen- dations: • That a committee give it further study and that five hundred dollars ($500.00) be_ raised and appropriated to procure qualified speakers to appear at public meetings to be held during the • eomiing year, in order to acquaint. the townspeople with this form of government, and that -a report be trade at a special town meeting, should one he held during the month of November or December, or, if .__none lie heli, then at the next annual town meeting. _At this time 1 wish to thank the other members of the cotmnit- __ . tee for their fine cooperation. also.

Present number of Water • Services Services Vacant Gallons of Water Pumped • Stock on hand estimated value 1286 100' 89,101.650 $7,415.00 The year 1949 proved to be another banner year for home building in Yarmouth, and as a result, the water_ department was hard pressed to meet the demands of home • builders for water services. As a natter of statistics, the department has installed 224 new wator services, and at the same time extended our small mains. one and one-half and two inch, a total of 12.000 feet in various parts of the town to cover much of this new construction. The board has made it a point to discuss with builders and real estate developers their 1950 plans for home build- ing in Yarmouth, and present indications point to another big year in home construction. If we are to serve these new homes with water, it will be necessary to ask for a consid- erable increase in our budget. . Financially speaking, enough revenue was realized in 1949 to cover operating expenses and to cover the•cost of the extension of mains. Approximately $10,000 was spent in developments where a guaranteed return is assured. This coming year, in order to serve an anticipated 200 new homes, - we are forced to ask for $25,000 in addition to our regular budget. Our physical plant is in good shape with the exception of the elevated tank in So. Yarmouth. Negotiations. between this board and the original builders, The Pittsburgh Des Moines Co. has resulted in their agreeing to repair and paint 75 the tank, they to assume two-thirds the cost and the water department- one-third. • ` The proposed extension of the 6 in.. main along the Bypass in So. Yarmouth to the new school, money for which was voted at a Special Town Meeting last summer, had to be held in abeyance•until next spring because strikes have • interrupted delivery of pipe. There have been no changes in our smooth working and efficient permanent personal. Mr. Gorham Clift com- - pleted his training under the G.I. bill of rights in November and was given an increase in salary to .over cost of. living increases which he failed to receive. while in the program. Looking ahead, if the present home building continues at its present pace for four or five years,_ it is the opinion of this board that an elevated tank will have to be con - :Articled in West Yarmouth for the -proper fire protection of the homes there. Another possible expenditure would be the installation of more and larger pumping equipment at the pumping station to handle the increased deniand. In closing. may we• say it has been a pleasure to serve as your Water Board in 1949. Our only complaint, is, al- though you pay the bills, very few of you have taken the liberty of coming over to see what you are paying for. Please • feel free to do so, it's yours.

In order to give this protection the Department is badly in need of another full-time patrol- man. The decrease in the amount of accidents, arrests, and crime in general indicates the value of the full-time patrol- man -put on last year. The proportionately small increase in. the 1950 Esti- mated Budget 'over 1949 Expenditures is, therefore; eon= idered well. worthwhile. Respectfully submitted, . NELSON F.

REGINALD LOVE Plumbing Inspector.. REPORT OF MOTH SUPERINTENDENT To the citizens Of the, Town of Yarmouth .and to the Honorable Board of Selectmen: 87 I wish to report that 1949 was a most historic year in the control of the Gypsy Moth. To go back to the Year 1945 •we noticed a drastic reduction of the meth after the hurricane. The following years we realized a gradual in- crease of moth egg cluster -s and we could see that it was gradually becoming a serious problem to the Cape.' Your :1loth• Superintendent. representing Yarmouth. \vorked with the other towns on the Cape and with the help uf' Senator Stone, • our representatives, County Commission= ers, Mr. John King of the Standard Times, and the Depart- ment of Conservation, we were able to get a bill through to spray the Cape in one operation. Again special legis- lation had to be made in order to allow the towns of the Cape to pool their moneys for one purpose. This was done to purchase insecticide for the planes to use after it was found that insufficient funds had been raised by the county. Also Yarmouth furnished 2 men as ground crew to assist in marking out areas being sprayed from the air. Thi way in which all departments worked together toward ore cause \gas an experience I shall always remember. Now that the job has been completed, what next? _ All during the summer months we visited 37 traps that had been placed according to a map drawn by the United States Department of Agriculture and the Massachusetts Depart- ment of Conservation. • These traps contained the organs of 15 Female moths. These had the attracting radius of one Half mile. We met with very satisfying results, finding only three or four moths in the traps. These we believe were brought in either by automobiles or trailers. We are now conducting a survey of the town to see if any egg • 88 clusters are in the general location of these traps. If we find any We will notify the State and these areas will be sprayed by airplane and any outbreak will immediately be abated. We will continue spraying our highways to guard against any infiltration of the moth from other infested areas. Your moth snperi» tendent has received full credit for your town, for its participation in the project and is passing it along to you for the consideration and interest that you have had in the worthwhile project. We•have come along way in 1949 and I sincerely hope that we will hold our po- sition in this great fight against the Gypsy Dloth. • Respectfully submitted JOHN G. SEARS REPORT OF TREE WARDEN To the citizens of the Town of Yarmouth and to the l loiiorable Board of Selectmen: As Tree Warden of the Town of Yarmouth. I wish to report progress in the planting program. Since our most disastrous hurricane in 1944 it has been a slow task to get small shade trees established along our streets. It prob- ably will be years before our streets again are bordered by graceful trees which are the making. of our Cape villages. This year we have suffered some losses due to the severe drought, hut if we continue planting and fertilizing even- tnally we will win. I have found that with the use of com- mercial fertilizer growths of one to two feet a year have been realized. Trees planted two years ago have put up leaders fully three feet in height. At the time of planting a tree one does not get a thrill but after a period of about five years one's efforts begin to show results and you again go forward with -new vigor and realize that it is the future beauty of the Town that is your goal. It is a pleasure and an honor to he Tree Warden of the Town of Yarmouth. Respectfully submitted JOHN G. SEARS 89 REPORT OF SHELLFISH CONSTABLE Board of Selectmen, Town of Yarmouth. ? Gentlemen: 1 hereby submit the following report. as Shellfish Con- stable for the year ending December 31, 1949: Shellfish valued at approximately $50.828.00 were taken from the waters of the Town, namely :' 5,386 bushels of scallops 3.336 bushels of quahogs 380 bushels of oysters 28 bushels of clams @ $6.00 @ 5.00 @ 4.00 @ 4.00 $32,316.00 16,880.00 1.520.00 112.00 - $50,828.00 Scallops were.abuudant in Bass River area, but could be found in all sections of .the Town..- . In the September gale. large numbers of seed which were washed ashore were replaced in Lewis Bay. 175 bushels of oysters purchased • from the State were r<<planted in Mill Creek, West Yarmouth. 25 bushels of. quahogs were planted in the Bass River area. 112 biishcis of clams were planted on the flats on the north side. 92 commercial permits were issued netting the Town 1222 family permits were issued netting the Town 611.00 Total $1161.00 were warned for violations of the shell- -over 1100 miles were covered on patrol. • Respectfully submitted, FREDERICK SCHAUWECKER Shellfish Constable. fish $550.00 Fifteen persons regulations; and 90 REPORT OF PLANNING BOARD FOR 1949 The Banniiig Board reeommends the. following Amend- ments to our Zoning By -Law, viz: 1. Amend Paragraph 4, Section 6, by increasing the minimum lot size from 6500 square feet to 8500 square feet. In many instances we find cases where the lot is so small, to wit, 6500 square feet, that the owner has to get a variance because of set -back restrictions as there is not enough room on the lot for a. garage where the house is exceptionally= large. • 2. Change Paragraph 3, Section 7, by deleting "except buildings for accessory use", so that a permit will be re- quired according to this section for all buildings. It has been found that without a permit granted for accessory- buildings, people have invariably built a garage or storage house in violation of set -back restrictions. A permit will do away with such a condition and aid the Se- lectmen in assessing to a great extent. The Planning Board also recommends the adoption of the Building Code as outlined in the Warrant. We feel that, with the increased building a.etivity in the Town, such a code will be of great advantage. This building code was drafted by various carpenters and contractors, who are residents of the Town. and represents the minimum stan- dards by which they feel a building should be erected: The Planning Board is also recommending a change in the set-up of the Planning Board of the Town—in that it is requesting that the Town adopt the new -style Planning Board. so-called, which other towns on the Cape have re- cently adopted. Up to the present time; the existing Planning Board •i 1•u111 1 r`YPY�L6.n 91 has only had the power of suggesting improvements and changes.. The new style Planning Board of modern type ivay be adopted with broader powers. Specifics Legislation is given in Chapter 340 of the Acts of 1947 of the General Court, by which any Town may, by a simple vote at Town Meeting, adopt the new -style Planning Board, and it is recommended this Act be accepted at. our 1950 Town Meet- ing. This new law provides that the Planning Board re- ceive these new powers immediately on adoption and con- tinue in office until the next regular election. Thereafter, the Planning Board will consist of five members, elected as they are now for five-year terns, so that one new member will be elected each year. This, of course, will be an unpaid Board as at present. This new law makes provision that the Planning Board act as a Board of Survey, with the power to regulate sub -division of land, laying out new streets and ways, and other similar duties. It would have the power to make a general map of the Town and from time to time to suggest improvements for the growth of the Town. The Planning Board would also recommend that steps be taken toward the acquisition of public beaches at proper plaees within the Town. Experience in other towns has shown that not enough beachland has been made available to the public and the time would seem to be now for us to consider public beaches. We would also like the present three small garden plots continued by improvement and would recommend that they be so improved from year to year. Respectfully submitted, A. HAROLD CASTONGUAY, Chairman • 92 REPORT OF BOARD OF APPEALS FOR 1949 • During the past year, your Board of Appeals have acted upon 38 appeals.. Of these 38. 29 have been allowed. In this 29, the great majority had to do with set -back restrictions and distances from lot lines and buildings—also petitions as respects signs. Eight petitions were denied and one was allowed to.be with- drawn. • Through the working of the Board of Appeals, we feel the townspeople •who attend hearings get a much better in- sight as to the intent and administration of zoning by- laws. I wish to thank the various members of the Board for their sincere interest and help during the past year. Respectfully= submitted, A.

DEPARTMENT For the Year 1949 The epidemics of chickenpox, measles and mumps which commenced in the late months of 1948 continued through- out the early months of 1949. Cases of mumps have been unusually prevalent due largely to the fact. that the County had escaped epidemics of this disease for several Years-- In earsIn common with other parts of this state, an unusually_. liigh number of cases of poliomyelitis occurred during the summer and fall months. There were 25 cases reported to this department, 16 of which were among residents of the County and 9 were non residents. There were 2 deaths, one resident and one non-resident. Of the 15 surviving residents, 9 showed some evidence of paralysis. Several of these cases are being followed up at the Crippled Chil- dren's Clinics. Financial assistance, where necessary, has been furnished by the local Chapter of the Poliomyelitis Foundation. _ In the field of sanitation, increased attention was given to private water supplies and sewage disposal methods, and we have noted an improvement in this field with more at- tention being given by some owners and builders to the lo- cation of private wells as related to sources of pollution, such as cesspools, ete. . Inspections of food handling establishments have been 'carried out as usual and our records show improvements in the very important item, cleansing and sanitizing of uten- sils. The following table shows the results of swab tests taken on utensils during the years 1947, 1948 and 1949. Bacterial counts of more than 100 per utensil were taken 96 as the criteria for non approval of sanitizing methods..-„:* Total No. of No. of Counts % of Counts'.

Gentlemen: I hereby submit a summary of my activities for 1949. I inspected approximately 500 electrical installations, covering some 4100 miles in persuance of this duty. Very few cases of defective wires were found, and home owners were very co-operative in correcting these de- fects when brought to their attention. Respectfully, E. FRUEAN, JR. Inspector of Wires. REPORT of FUEL •OIL INSPECTOR December 31, 1949 - To the Board of Selectmen, Town of Yarmouth, Mass. Gentlemen: I hereby submit my report as Fuel Oil Inspector for 1949. I have inspected 326 gas and oil installations, neces- sitating some 1300 miles of travel. Once more I would like to recommend to those having automatic oil heating equipment that they have the safety devices checked occasionally to make sure that they are in proper- working condition. Permits are required for the storing of oil, and also for the storage of gas. Application for these permits should be made at the Town Office. Respectfully, E. FRUEAN, JR. Fuel Oil Inspector. 99 REPORT OF TOWN MANAGER STUDY _ COMMITTEE Your Committee, appointed by the Moderator pursuant to Article I of the Warrant for Town Meeting of February 10, 1948 which article reads as follows: "To see if the Town will authorize the Moderator to appoint a committee of five members to consider the advisability of petitioning the General Court of Massachusetts -to allow the Town to adopt a Town Manager form of Government; committee to report at the next Annual Town Meeting, February 1949," .presents the following report: The move to adopt the town manager form of govern- ment is a very important step in the history and operation of the Town and therefore calls for careful thought and consideration. The Committee has reviewed much mate- rial, such as that available through the National Municipal League, that from the Massachusetts Federation of Tax payers, the charters of the various towns that have adopted this form of government, the report of the Committee that investigated the question for the Town of Easton and all other authoritative material that could be secured. The Committee has talked with numerous legislative officials, has contacted and talked with present and former town and city managers and other authorities. The principal advantage of this form of government is that it places authority and responsibility where it can be traced directly to its source. It tends to simplify town government by consolidating the town offices and by elim- inating numerous minor officials. It is felt that to make this move would be a forward looking step, preparing for the future, but that it would not be to the advantage of the Town of Yarmouth at the 100 •. - Present time, for without question there would be an increase in administrative costs. In addition to the increased cost of government, the Committee £eels that Yarmouth is not ready to make this step. It takes time to get results, which means that for a manager to succeed he must have behind him a strong re- serve of public opinion and with thelack of interest shown at the meeting where a group of public spirited citizens • presented an outstanding authority on this subject, the Committee feels that Yarmouth does not have this necessary element. A representative of the Massachusetts Federation of Taxpayers appropriately covered the situation in saying that, "If there is sufficient citizen interest to petiton the legislature, there is sufficient interest to secure good gov- ernment regardless of form." Respectfully submitted, MABEL P. LYON ALEXANDER CATTO ISAAC HILLS 3rd FRED M. ANGUS ROBERT A. HILL DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS' SERVICES District Board; Selectmen; Chester A. Crocker, Barnstable; Richard B. Taylor, Yarmouth; and Clarence M. Nickerson; Dennis Director; A. Earle Mitchell. In as few words as possible this department v;•ould like to report that it is still carrying on as originally set:up in 1947 by the combined Boards of Selectmen for the three Towns of Barnstable, Yarmouth and Dennis. In the field of rehabilitation, services and information { No I 101 needed for education, on the job training, 'bonuses. loans, etc; actual contacts in so far as numbers is concerned have fallen off but the type of contact. has 'increased the amount of work needed to complete the individual request at hand, with also insurance, compensation and pension requests showing a marked increase. The Federal Contact Office across the street was recent-- 1y ecent=ly closed but through the approval and co-operation of the District Board, this office now provides • facilities for a representative from the New Bedford Veterans Admin- istration Office on Tuesdays and Thursdays of each week from 10 am to 2:30 .pm. Up to the time of •writing this brief report, this itinerant service seems to be proving very satisfactory to all concerned. For the services required for the relief and assistance to veterans and their dependents, the expenses for the same, has very fortunately so far, not increased in any greater proportion than that for other categories of social welfare. This office is for the help of any veteran of any war liv- ing in our district and for his dependents and.is open daily except Sat., Sun. & holidays from 9 ain to 4 pin. Whatever the problem of the veteran, if we do not know the answer at the moment, we at least do know where to find it and will continue to do so as promptly as possible. A.

The books and accounts kept by the accounting officer were examined, checked, and compared with the records of the several departments in which money is collected and with the records of the town treasurer. The ledgers were analyzed, the apprcpriations, loan authorizations, and transfers being -compared with the town clerk's record of financial votes passed in town meetings and with the finance committee's records of transfers from the reserve fund. A trial balance was taken off proving the accounts to be in balance, and a balance sheet, showing the financial condition of the town on August 13, 1949, was prepared and is appended to this report.• The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts were compared with the records in the departments collect-. ing 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 disbursement of town funds. The cash bal- ance on August 13, 1949 was proved by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks of deposit and transferred to the temporary town treasurer. The payments -of maturing debt and interest were prov- ed with the amounts falling due and. with the cancelled • bonds and.eoupous• on file. The transactions of the several trust and investment funds in custody of the town treasurer were verified, and the securities and savings bank books representing the in- vestment of these funds were examined and listed.. The deductions from employees' salaries -for federal taxes and the -retirement fund were listed and reconciled 110 with the amounts due and paid to the federal government and the county retirement board. The records of tax titles and tax possessions held by the town were examined and checked in detail. The taxes transferred to the tax title account were checked to the collector's records, the redemptions of tax .titles and sales of taxpossessions were checked to the treasurer's cash book, and the tax titles and tax possessions on hand were listed and reconciled with the accounting officer's ledger and compared with the records at the Registry of Deeds. The books and accounts of the town collector were examined and checked. The taxes and motor vehicle and trailer excise, departmental, and water accounts outstand- ing according to the previous examination and all subse- quent commitments were audited and proved. The pay- ments to the town treasurer were verified, the abatements were checked with the records in the several departments authorized to grant abatements, and the outstanding ac- counts were listed and proved with the accounting officer's ledger. The outstanding accounts were further verified 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 accounts, as listed, are correct. The records of licenses and permits issued by the selectmen and of miscellaneous collections were examined and checked, the payments to the treasurer being verified. - The financial accounts of the town clerk were examined. The 'records of dog and sporting licenses and of gasoline renewals were checked, the payments to the State being verified by comparison with the receipts on file and the payments to the town treasurer being compared with the treasurer's cash book. 11 - "•,_ d.lr � �''+� mil � ii I 111 ials bonded for The surety erforman a the of theircial dutic tthe faithful p esswere examined 'and found to be in proper form. 1 The financial records of the sealer of weights andll as ures and of the school and park departments, • as w of all other departments collecting money for the town, were examined and checked with the treasurer's cash re- - ceipts and with the records of the . accounting officer.

At a meeting of the School Committee of Yarmouth, Massachusetts, it was voted to adopt the annual report of the Superintendent of Schools as the annual report of the School Committee for the year ending December 31, 1949. .11 • 179 REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS I herewith submit my fourth report as Superintendent of Schools and the fifty-eighth report in the series ofannual reports of the Union Superintendent of Schools of Yar- mouth, Dennis and Brewster. School Housing Problem It is gratifying to report that half of the school housing problem as previously reported will be solved upon the com- pletion of the new elementary school. However, the town is still faced with the problem of providing adequate space for the organization of an expanded manual arts depart- ment, a household. arts department and an adequate gym- nasium and . auditorium. This problem should be given serious consideration ,by the people of the town now and definite plans made to solve this problem in the near future. Teacher Changes Schools opened September 7, 1949, with the following changes in the teaching personnel: Mrs. Elinor A. Dee, a graduate of Perry Kindergarten Normal School, replaces Mrs. Katharine H. Wilde in Grade 1. Mrs. Wilde resigned her position here to teach the first grade in Dennis. Mrs. Alice Durant, a graduate of Boston Teachers Col- lege was elected to fill the position left vacant by the resig- nation of Miss Grace J. O'Neill. Mrs. Elizabeth M. Locke, a graduate of Sweet Brier College, Virginia, and Swarthmore College, Pennsylvania, replaces Miss Marie C. Honney, who resigned to continue her studies at the University of Massachusetts. Mr. Gilbert Muir, a graduate of Colby_ College, Maine, • 180 was elected to fill the position left vacant by the untimely death of Mr. Oscar L. Garland. Due to the increase in the enrolment in the commercial and language departments, it was found necessary to 'secure the services of an additional teacher. Miss Eleanor J. Mc- Cain, a graduate of Acadia University and McGill Univer- sity, was selected to fill this, position. • Professional Improvement During the past year several of our teachers have taken educational eourses at Boston University and Hyannis Sum- mer School. Various courses taken were Administration. Technique of Teaching, Educational Philosophy, Art in the Schools, Social Studies, Audio -Visual Education and the History of Education. Repairs and Improvements Repairs to the building this past year included the. fol- lowing : 1. interior painting program was continued. 2. Book eases and tack board were added to several 'of the rooms. 3. A new sewage disposal system was constructed. 4. Special attention was given to the fertilizing and care of the lawns and athletic field. 5. • New machines have been added to the manual train- ing department. 6. A new cement walk- was put in leading to the front -entrance of the school. 7. New cement steps were made for the west auditorium door and the steps on the left side were patched. .8. Dark curtains were installed in several rooms, so'that classes can utilize to better advantage the audio- visual equipment the school has purchased for class room work. 9. All minor repairs were made throughout the building. 4 181 Needed Repairs and Alterations 1. Interior painting program should be .continued. 2. Walk repair program should be continued. 3. Minor alterations should be made to accommodate the household arts program. Conclusion I wish to again thank the members of the Yarmouth Fire Department for their donation to the Christmas party at the school. I want to thank the Yarmouth School Committee, the faculty and the many people of the town who have worked together this past year to make our school program suc- cessful. Respectfully submitted, ALFRED R. KENYON Superintendent of Schools REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Sir: - I am pleased to submit my annual report as principal of the John Simpkins.School. Coinmencement and Awards Fiftrfive members of the class of 1949 received their diplomas from Alberto W. Small, chairman of the school committee, at the annual graduation, held at the Cape Play- house in Dennis on June 14, 1949.

Of the remaining graduates, one is in training as a nurse and two are in the arined services. The balance of the class is regularly em- ployed in various occupations. Four members of the group are now married.

Miss McCain has also strengthened the commercial department, assisting Miss Priscilla Tinkham, department head. For the first time, pupils other than regular commercial majors, are permitted to receive training in typewriting or bookkeeping if de- sired, .thus enriching the curriculum. Student.

It should be emphasized that the athletic program is greatly indebted to the school de- partment for its continued, generous support. Athletics present the school's greatest financial burden and only with this complete' co-operation could the program be carried on so extensively. Income from athletics has reached a more or less statie condition because of the limited seating capacity of the gym - • 1/4 ;axr�.K.: m`� 12.

Interest in athletics here has now grown to a point where income from basketball alone might be expected to support the entire activity program if "adequate facilities were 'available. The first of the new series" of professional assemblies, mentioned in last year's report, has been held and these.. promise rich experiences for the students. The school is pleased to be the first in this area to offer these educational and entertaining programs. Cafeteria Food costs have remained at the same high level, which with the greatly increased enrollment, has resulted in a substantial increase in operating costs. However, in spite of a reduction in the government subsidy, efficient manage- ment has resulted in a small profit for the year. The finan- cial statement, as furnished by Mrs. Keveney, follows: Cash Receipts • Federal Subsidy $14,580.60 2,730.21 Total Receipts Operating Expenses $15,855.35 15,069.07 Net Profit $367.19 Because of the extremely crowded conditions in the cafeteria this year, it has been necessary to feed from 60 to 100 elementary- pupils daily in the gymnasium. Those who bring part or all of their lunch from home are handled in this way. Mrs. Hill has voluntarily supervised this -work, - with some pupil -assistance, greatly relieving the serious congestion. School Equipment It is felt that this school is now second to none in the important matter of visual and audio aids to education. Last year's report emphasized the extent of materials available to the teachers for supplementary work. This year it is 187 most gratifying to report the installation .Of a two-way in- ter -communicating system throughout the entire building by the school department. This permits the broadcast of either radio or recorded programs separately or simul- taneously to any or all rooms. All bulletins and announce- ments may now be sent to one or all rooms directly from the office. Inter -communication is established between ev- ery classroom in the building as well as to the cafeteria, zyumasium, auditorium. corridors, and boiler room. In this way the administration of the entire building, for the first time, is centralized at one point, the office. In addition, the system includes a. public address system in the auditorium suitable for town meetings and large school gatherings, eliminating the need for renting a P. -A. system. Recommendations. It is reasonable to assume that the next school year will see relief of the present intolerably crowded conditions as they now exist in the building for both pupils and teach- ers. • With the elementary grades, for the first time in re- cent years. adequately housed in the ne'r building, it is______ hoped that the present building may be altered to provide an adequate six-year high school which should serve the community for many years. It is suggested that the cafe- teria be enlarged by redesigning the present so-called sew- ing room as a new kitchen. thus releasing the present -kitchen - for added cafeteria space. It is further recommended that two rooms on the second floor be transformed into an ade- quate study hall, permitting the present library to, be used for its intended purpose. It is also proposed that two rooms - on the first floor be combined and equipped to provide -proper facilities for the household arts department, now virtually abandoned. With these proposals realized, there would remain only the problem of added gymnasium facilities, which with the s 188 constantly increasing interest in athletics, becomes the im- mediate problem. In closing may I express to you, as superintendent, to the sehool committee, and to thefaculty my sincere appre- ciation for the continued cooperation and support' which I have received. Respectfully submitted, Norman B. Dinsmore, Principal VOCAL MUSIC SUPERVISOR'S REPORT Dear Sir: I herewith submit my sixth annual report as vocal music supervisor in the towns of Yarmouth and Dennis. As in the past, we are continuing our correlation of singing, listening, rhythmic response, creating and environ- ment in our music program. This sequence of activities, endeavors, and learnings is designed to promote compre- hensive and rounded musical growth. The music program is not stereotyped, although most emphatically orderly and is planned for the musical growth of human beings. The elementary school participated in the annual June Festival, the vocal and physical education departments combining their programs in both Dennis and Yarmouth. The Junior High School of the John Simpkins School presented a minstrel show for the Parent -Teachers Associa- tion last spring, which was well received. The Glee Club of the Yarmouth high School presented their vocal numbers in Osterville last April for the annual Spring Music Festival of Cape Cod. The Glee Club and the- eighth grade of'the Ezra Baker School, Dennis, presented a combined program with . the -77 • Q LYCEUM HALL, YARMOUTH PORT • •' MONO• ev1111F_o■ .. ce• •', .. .� k t a *3 FIRE STATION.

The Glee Club is comprised of one hundred ten. members. The enrollment this year has doubled and this I am pleased to note. The vocal department of the John Simpkins School has benefited by the sound recorder purchased for the school. It has provided one of the finest means of motivation- that I know of. But there is more to the idea of using recording equipment at school rehearsals than motivation. There is the matter of the learning process itself. Recording has improved that process and quickened it—also made it more effective. The recorder has provided a good method for improving group intonation. Microphones are brutally frank. When the group hears the play -back, the students listen to their own parts and discover their own mistakes. The student is learning inde- pendence and, in effect, teaching himself. t Respectfully submitted, Dec. 30, 1949 GRACE E. DRUM Vocal Music Supervisor SCHOOL NURSE'S REPORT The statistical report of the school nursing work. in Yarmouth gives in figures the scope and accomplishments of our work in the school- during the past year. The number of school visits fails to indicate the amount of time consumed,.as what is counted as one visit may mean 191 • half a day or even a whole day spent in school work. Records must be kept and they, too, are time consum-. ing. Most of this clerical work is done at our general office in Hyannis and does not appear in figures in a statistical report. — - Assisting. the school physician with the annual health examinations is a major part of our work. Notices•regard- ing defects must be sent home or a home call made, some- times both, and advice given as to ways and means of cor- recting defects. The annual eye clinic for the school children was held in January. Later in the year we had dental clinics and toxoid clinics. In October we assisted the personnel of the Barnstable County Sanitorium in giving the Mantoux test for tuber- culosis t'o pupils in grades nine to twelve inclusive. This was followed by chest X-rays for the positive reactors, con- tacts, and the adult personnel of the school. This included the teachers,- food handlers, etc. To our co-workers and the parents in this community we extend our appreciation for their co-operation and under- standing.

Supervising Nurse REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN During the 1949 school year, all the routine physical examinations have been taken care of. These include ex- aminations of the heart, throat, feet, weight, etc., as well as thorough examinations of pupils participatinginschool- athletics. Any physical defect found or special problem needing medical attention has been reported to the parents. Many of these reports to parents have been followed up by home -" a;,r•: ,. - visits. _ rh �'Y`.w�.. ^..�� •� �. ^w.. ✓�I,' TOWN BARN AND PART OF EQUIPMENT ehlineAl ea6 61 ..I III 611 :Lw ; , rata koi iLg. .16 1 . 1 • i . A large number of health examinations have been given throughout the year to pupils between the ages of 14-16 who have been desirous of working after school hours, Sat- urdays and other times when school is not in session. This 194 is done in compliance with the General Laws Relating to Education, Chapter •149, Section 87, (3) which states that a certificate must .be signed by a "school or family physician, or by a physician appointed by the school committee, stat- ing that the child- has been thoroughly examined by said physician, and in his opinion is in sufficiently sound health and physically able to perform the work which the child intends to do." The majority of these examinations were given during the summer months. Emergency calls for accidents occurring while school was in session and requiring medical attention have been answered and taken care of as soon as possible. Numerous examinations have been made of children`--- returning to school, after absence due to a contagious di- sease, who have not secured from their family physicians or the Board of Health the certificate of health required by State law as set forth in Chapter 71, Section 55 of the General Laws Relating to Education which says, iu part, that "A child returning to school after having been absent on account of infection or exposure to a contagious disease shall present a certificate from the•board of health or its duly appointed agent that the danger of conveying such disease has passed; provided, that if such a child returns to school without such a certificate, after having been ab- sent on account of such infection or exposure, he shall immediately be referred to a school physician for examina- tion and, if it is found by such physician, upon such exam- ination, that such danger has passed, he may remain at -school." Cooperation on the part of the school nurse, the super- intendent of schools, teachers and parents has been excel- lent. Respectfully submitted, HERMON E.

Harold Castonguay : "The Planning Board recommends the following amendments to our Zoning By -Law, viz: 1. Amend Paragaph 4, Section 6, by increasing the minimum lot size from 6500 square feet to 8500- square feet. In many instances we find cases where the lot is so small, to wit, 6500 square feet, that the owner has to get a variance because of set -back restrictions as there is not enough room on the lot for a garage where the house is exceptionally large. 2. Change Paragraph 3, Section 7, by deleting "except buildings for accessory .use," so that a permit will be required according to this section for all buildings. It has been found that without a permit granted for access- ory buildings, people have invariably built a garage or storage house in violation of set -back restrictions. A per- mit will do away with such a condition and aid the Select- men in assessing to a great extent." On motion duly made and seconded to amend Para- graph 4 of Section 6 of the present Zoning By -Law; by de- leting the words "6500 square feet or less than 60 feet wide," and inserting "8500 square feet or less than 80 feet wide;" so that said section will read as follows: "4. Lot size. No dwelling shall be erected in any district on a lot containing less than 8500 square feet or less than 80 feet wide, provided that one dwelling may be erected on any lot which, at the time this by-law is adopted, either is separately owned or is shown on a recorded plan of lots."

Acting under Article K on motion duly made and sec - 33 owded to ainend Paragraph 3 of Section • 7 of the present Zoning By -Law, by deleting the words, "except buildings for assessory_uses," so that the first sentence will read as follows: "3: No buildings shall be erected, placed or.chang- ed as to the use thereof, without a permit therefor issued by the Selectmen." The vote on Article K was as follows: those in favor - 65, opposed 3.

The Board of Water Commissioners hereby submit the annual report of the Water Department for the year 1950 Present number of Water Services 1515 Services Vacant 91 Gallons of Water Pumped 91,578,200 Stock -on Hand estimated value $3,516.27 The Water Commissioners are pleased to report thUt 1950 was once more a year of intense activity in the Water department. With home building continuing at an ac- celerated pace, the department installed more than 200 house services and extended its mains a total of 11,800 ft.,. or more than 2 miles. This footage is broken down as follows:- 6328 ft of 11/2" pipe 1834 ft of 2 " pipe 3938 ft of 6 " pipe For the installation of house services a total of 14,886 ft of 3" and 1" pipe was used. The elevated tank at South Yarmouth was painted, and it will not be necessary to paint either tank during the current year. It is practically impossible to make an accurate analy- sis of our budget needs for the coining year, because of world conditions. In developing our budget, we have as- sumed that the demand for• water service will continue and have asked for more money to cover increases in labor services, and costs of materials. We are also asking for a considerable sum of money to close loops in our water system. Looping .of water mains is very desirable. From an engineering viewpoint it over- comes stagnation in dead ends and provides water coming from two directions in case of fire. ' 75 We are pleased to report that, in spite of severe drought • conditions that have created serious water shortages in some Massachusetts Communities, - the water supply of the department has in no way been impaired --ab far as can . be determined. . • As we mentioned last year, continued growth at our present rate will necessitate in the not too distant future the installation of larger pumping equipment as well as an additional elevated tank. The Board of Water Commissioners wants every tax- payer to feel free to call them or any of the permanent personnel, at any time, regarding questions of town water. We will do our best to help you. • FINANCIAL STATEMENT Appropriations: Article 55. - Amount Expended Superintendent's Salary $3 200 08 Asst Superintendent's Salary 2 999 88 Maintenance Man Salary 2 600 00 Water Commissioners Salaries 1 200 00 Labor 4 430 84 Power and- Lights 4 038 68 Telephone Service 171 03 Fuel Oil 438 94 • Tools and Equipment 852 36 Office Supplies 151 74 Truck Maintenance 120 79 General Repairs 366 58 Gas and Oil 593 71 Station Supplies 262 56 Technical Service 200 56 Frt. and Express 119 03 $41 725 00 76 New Truck Elevated Tank .

Respectfully submitted, REGINALD LOVE, Shellfish Warden 85 REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD - FOR 1950 . I submit herewith the report of the Planning Board of the Town of Yarmouth for 1950. At the last Town meeting in February 1950 a "new style" Planning Board was set up, giving the Board much greater powers than it had enjoyed previously. The Board feels that these powers should be conser- vatively enforced and therefore they have directed- most of their attention to subdivision control, that is lay -out of streets and the general set-up of a new subdivision in town in such a manner as to plan the roads as would be of future benefit as public ways and also to provide adequate fire protection and good water supply. In line with this thought, we have attempted to make all roads .continuous in sug- gested or tentative' subdivisions. _ - There have been 44 plans submitted to us for approval, of which 42 have been approved with corrections and sugges- tions, two have been disapproved. In most every case, we have had good cooperation with the owners of the .land, who recognized that the subdividing of a large part of land impresses its character upon the community for many years to come, and wise and judicious planning of the same before lots are sold will not only be of great help to the owner of the land but also the town. The Planning Board would recommend that public beaches be taken at proper places within the Town. Two new members have bear -added, to replace the resignation of Mrs. Hazel W. Gifford and the death of Hud- son R. Appleby. May I take this opportunity to express my thanks to the members of the Board for their sincere interest and help to the Town. Respectfully submitted, A.

The records of -payroll deductions on account of fed- eral taxes and the retirement fund were examined, listed, and proved to the accounting officer's controlling accounts. The tax titles held by the town were listed from the l 90 'records of the treasurer. and• all transactions pertaining thereto were verified and checked withthe records at the Registry of Deeds. The books and accounts of the collector were examined and checked. The commitments of taxes and motor vehicle and trailer excise were checked to the assessors' warrants issued for their collection. The recorded collections were compared with the payments to the treasurer as shown on the treasurer's cash book, the abatements as recorded were checked with the records of the assessors, and the outstand- ing accounts were listed and proved. The records of departmental and water accounts re- ceivable were examined and checked. The commitments were added, the payments to the treasurer were compared with the treasurer's and the accounting officer's books, the abatements were verified, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved. Verification of the outstanding tax, motor vehicle and trailer excise, departmental; and water accounts was ob- tained by mailing notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, the replies received thereto indicating •that the accounts, as listed, are correct: The records of receipts of the town clerk on account of dog, sporting, and town licenses issued were examined, the payments to the treasurer and to the Division of Fish- eries and Game being verified.

A total of 546 per- mits were issued for burning. The former patrol car which is now assigned to fire department work of all nature is radio equipped and. on the air constantly when in use. This car has travelled ap- $10 000 00 60 000 00 28 000 00 4 99 proximately 17,000 miles in pursuance of duty by the Chief and Deputy Chief on patrol, issuing of permits, and gas and oil burning inspections. There has been a total of 481 permits issued for gas and oil installation —301 for oil and 180 for gas. Following along the lines of the previous inspector of gas and oil burning equipment, I also would like to recommend that those having automatic oil heat have them checked oc- casionally to make sure the safety devices are in proper working order. Permits are required for the storage of oil, also for gas. Applications should be made at the .town office for these permits. - - At the writing of this report the Fire Department has purchased two new radios, which should give us excellent coverage on any fires, and invaluable service under the Civil Defense setup. Our number of fires have been small this year, the most serious at Radio City, West Yarmouth. - Now that the Central dump is in operation, and the others closed it has relieved the Fire Department of a number of rens, some of which were quite costly to the town. At this time I would like to thank all the members of the Fire Department for the fine cooperative spirit which has been shown since the permanent Chief's job went into effect. To Deputy Chief, Ira R. Thacher, I also want to ex- press my appreciation for his cooperative spirit during the year and for his help in carrying on the work as fire official for the Town of Yarmouth. Respectfully submitted, OLIVER L. STUDLEY, . Chief Yarmouth Fire Department 1 100 REPORT OF MOTH SUPERINTENDENT REPORT OF YEAR 1950 Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of the Town of Yarmouth It is with great pleasure that I report to you the find- ing of only three male Gypsy Moths during our trapping program this season. Our trapping season starts July 1st and ends about Labor Day. There are 37 of these traps throughout the town, placed 1/z mile apart. At the time of this report we are surveying the area around each trap, looking for egg clusters. To date 2/3 of the Town has been surVeyed but no egg Musters have shown up. We are continuing to spray roadsides for two pur- poses: 1st to take care of any infiltration of the moth into this area and secondly, as our work now includes the wood tick control we mix our sprays to kill the tick. As the ticks are attracted by human scents, and by the scents of animals the natural place to fight them is along our roadsides. A report from the United States Department. of Agriculture showed that we had definitely cut down the -number of ticks after a checkup by them. _ Another branch of our department is Dutch Elm Dis- ease Control. As this disease is as near to us as Quincy we must do all in our power .to keep it away from our town. There are two ways- of doing this, 1st to keep the Elms as free of dead wood as possible and second to spray for the Elm bark beetle. Even with the best of care it is possible to have the disease so I am asking all owners of Elms to please care for their. Elms and to destroy all -dead branches so that the beetle will not feed on dead elm wood that is laying around. May I have your cooperation. •Respectfully submitted JOHN G. SEARS • Moth Superintendent Town of Yarmouth 101 REPORT OF PLUMBING INSPECTOR Board of Selectmen Town of Yarmouth. Gentlemen : • I assumed my duties as Plumbing Inspector on March 1, 1950 replacing Mr. Reginald Love, from that date to De- cember 31, 1950. I have inspected 684 plumbing installations, covering some 3,000 miles. From January 1, 1950 to March 1st, • 1950 Mr. Love made 92 inspections. The total inspections for the year were 776. Some violations were found, and when called to the attention of the home owners, corrections were made. During my inspections, I found the plumbers, building contractors and home owners very co-operative. Respectfully submitted, ALBERT SMITH Plumbing Inspector.

'Furthermore, modern medical science has demonstrated that some of the measures, such as isolation and quarantine, formerly thought to be effective means of control, are not by any means adequate. Efforts of this .department have largely been aimed at decreasing the susceptibility of chil- dren by active immunization against diphtheria and whoop- ing cough. For the second consecutive year, the number of cases of infantile paralysis reported has been above normal. Of the seven cases reported, all except one, dere permanent residents of the county and six of the seven developed some degree of paralysis. There was one death reported as the result of this disease. Sanitation The Department continued its efforts for the protection of private water supplies and adequate sewage disposal. Laboratory, as well as sanitary survey work, was carried on at about the same level as during previous years. Several of the Town Boards of health have adopted new regulations during the year. Contacts have been made with Town Planning Boards to promote more adequate attention to water supplies and sewage disposal when new subdivisions were under consideration. 4 104 Bythe employment of a part time sanitarian'- during the summer months, we were able to cover more adequately, the increased work entailed by the influx of summer visit- ors. Our attention has been particularly directed toward the sanitation of food handling establishments, many of which are only in operation for a brief period of time dur- ing the summer. By augmenting the laboratory services, concerned with the examination of swabs taken from mul- tiuse utensils in restaurants, we were able to exercise better control over the important item of cleaning and sanitizing, glasses, cups and other such equipment. We have followed• closely the studies carried out recent- ly on methods for the control of wood ticks. At the com- pletion of the work, done this year by the Mass. Depart- ment of Public Health, as well as the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture, it would appear that effective means for curtailing the number of ticks are available. We feel that the control, work should be carried out by the moth superintendents in the various towns of the County since many of them already have the necessary equipment. Child Hygiene • During the year, we have continued our promotional work in this field and many clinics have. been conducted under the auspices of this Department for the health evalu- ation of children of ages from one to six. In February, -we were able to secure the service of a dental hygienist, and institute a program for the control of dental caries among school children by the application of sodium fluoride. We have also been able to secure the aid of workers from the United States Public Health Ser- vice and the Mass. Department of Public Health, and expect to have completed all schools in the County at the end of the year following the beginning of the work. • 47.1 105 Personnel of the Department as of December 31, 1950 F.

Earle Mitchell, Director. As the re -call to active duty of War II veterans and further inductions of men under Selective . Service con- tinues to eventually make more veterans it does not seem amiss at this time to restate the purposes of this depart- ment together with some of its activities as providedby our State Laws. - - As the name of the department implies, we primarily give service to all resident veterans of all wars by supply- ing information and executing government forms as needed including notarization at no charge in reply to their ques- tions about education, loans, job training, . housing; com- pensation, pensions, insurance, hospital and domiciliary care, burials, grave markers and death claims. The Director has been most fortunate since the open- ing of this office in having received the unpaid assistance of a group of advisors by their additional service to in- dividual cases when same required special attention, so it seems only fair at this time to publicly recognize these gentlemen by entering their names in this report to-gether with their experienced fields of service.

His hours with us remain the same but number of trips have been cut from 2 days a week as originally started a year ago to present 2 days a month and we sincerely hope at least these remain to permit him to continue his first hand and direct service to the individual veterans and depend- ents who call here for his sincere and appreciated advice. In the Medicalfield & Hospitalization, which more or less overlaps from SERVICES into our secondary purpose of BENEFITS upon which I will give more details later, I have yet to find a singe doctor unwilling to co-operate in rendering statements of physical condition and the fill- ing in of various V.A. Forms required from time to time, so due credit to All Cape doctors should be shown here and now for their extra service to veterans, and I feel sure that all of them will concur in extending our mutual com- pliments to the Senior Medical Officer in the New Bedford V.A. Office, Dr. John Belsky, who has somehow always managed to find a hospital bed for an eligible Cape vet- eran, whether requested by this office or the local doctor himself on .sometimes a very short notice: In addition to service rendered in the above named categories, requests of many kinds, personal and otherwise' have been handled directly- or by referral to other individuals qualified on the matter concerned. Our secondary purpose, also a service more or less but goes by a different name is carried for each town individual- ly and is known as VETERANS' BENEFITS . DEPARTMENT Local Board: Selectmen Richard B. Taylor, Howard B. Monroe, William P. Frost and A. Earle Mitchell, Veterans' Agent. 4 109 Acting under State Laws, which is closely supervised by Commissioner Henry V. O'Day, 'Worthy veterans and their dependents, including parents in some instances, are given financial aid and assistance according to their needs within the budgets suggested by the State Department of Veterans' Services. All recommendations of the local agent are office checked by the Commissioner's agent and assistant, Mr. Carroll hardy known as an Authorizer and are further investigated at home of each applicant by Mr. Philip E. Carey, known as a State Investigator. All of the above mentioned with the Commissioner especially have been most co-operative in the handling of the various cases brought, to our attention either by the Selectmen or the veterans themselves. To make application for aid is quite simple but strict, first requirement being presentation of honorable Discharge or Photo -copy of same from one of the Armed Services- -- during _ during W ar Time, being at present time worthy to the extent of not being on probation or under order from any Court or addicted to voluntary idleness or intemperate habits. Need is then shown from facts given upon applica- tion forms available in this office and completed with our help. While the description of this part of our services might sound brief, it does take the majority of our time due to present economic conditions and the re -call of reservists and induction of new men into the Armed- Services under the "Present Tension" better known now as the "Korean Situation," whose wives and children can and do apply for State assistance called War_Allowance payable by us after approval by State Department until receipt of Govern- ment Allotments by said applicants. It is huped by all officially concerned with funds available for Veterans' Benefits- that this phase of our work does not reach the stage as often cited.in the story "The Tail of the Dog." 110.

A E. 6 159 ANNUAL TOWN MEETING WARRANT AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE FINANCE COMMITTEE __ Report of the Finance Committee To the Voters of Yarmouth: Our town, like the rest of the country, is starting a new year full of uncertainties. Higher Federal and State taxes are impending to carry on the war effort and in our town a budget for Civil Defense reappears. There is al- ready a tendency toward increasing commodity- prices to place a strain on the pocketbooks of every one of us. Most of us will be forced to economize on our daily purchases, and your Finance Committee feels that our town likewise should hold expenditures to the minimum required to keep the town in good repair and to provide public service with no frills. Toward this end we feel that no new undertakings should be started at this time even though -they may have considerable merit. With the foregoing conditions uppermost in our minds, we have recommended in many cases a large cut in the estimated budgets for 1951. It is further noted that almost all departments asked for a 10% blanket increase in wages and salaries. Last year the town payroll was $206,441.79 and a 10% increase would amount to twenty thousand dol- lars or considerably more than a dollar on the tax rate. Therefore, since most departments received increases last year, we are recommending no wage increase in every de- partment at this time. We further recognize that some of the special articles asking for appropriations which we do not recommend have merit under ordinary times, but we feel that they should not be undertaken at this time. Your Finance Committee is economically minded this year in the hopes .that our tax rate will not climb out of all proportion, feeling that economy in government. ex- penditures must start in the lowest rung of the ladder.

SCHOOL HOUSING A brief outline of the educational thinking and phil- osophy that went into the planning of the new elementary school which was opened this fall is as follows: Educational Specifications ATMOSPHERE Seats and desks should be movable and the teacher should never insist on silence for itsown sake. When necessary, the room can be as noisy as a busy shop. It can be decorated with examples of the creative work of the pupils. The teacher may mingle freely with the children. She is looked on as a guide and counsellor rather than a policeman. Children and teacher work and play cooper- atively. The classroom is .a miniature democracy. LESSONS All subjects are taught, but they are often so integrated that the child does not realize at any one time that he is learning any particular subject. He will measure a piece of wood for the puppet stage the class is building, for ex- ample, and not realize he is learning arithmetic. The idea is to teach the child—not the subject. The teacher guides the pupil in learning at his own rate. LEARNING Learning is based on living. The school provides the child with concrete experiences—like visits to a planetarium tohelp him see the usefulness of what he is going to learn. 187 Facts are not handed down from above, but come from his friend, the teacher, as answers to real questions. Concepts and attitudes,\ rather than isolated facts, are taught, mak- ing learning ah exciting new experience. AIMS School life is not studying and tests, but serious, en- joyable work and play. Instead of grading a child, the tendency is to diagnose his difficulties and give him needed help. There are no arbitrary standardsfor all children to meet. Rather, each child progresses according to his abili- ty. While there is room in the program for self expression, the ideal pupil is one who has best learned to live and work within a group. COMMUNITY The community is part of the school. The school - parent relationship is important and cooperative, the school believing that the educative process doesn't stop at three o'clock, but is continuous. Classes go right into the com- munity, visit local enterprises and discuss community prob- lems. School, parents and community are integrated.

Receipts totaling $738.90 additional have been turned over to the Yarmouth Town Treasurer through December . 30.. (see below) • There is one most important change in handling school funds that should be made clear to all who maybe in- terested. By an act of the Massachusetts legislature, all school athletic funds, as of October 20, 1950, are to be turned over to the Town Treasurer and all expenses pertaining to school athletics are to be paid through that office. This accounts for the fact that the athletic balance in the above account is now closed out. All future statements regard- ing the condition of the athletic account will be found as a part of the Town Treasurer's statement. Whereas the income from athletic contests is insuffi- cient to adequately support the athletic program, provision is made by the legislative act for the town to appropriate sufficient funds to maintain the program. The Cafeteria Likewise the State legislature has enacted a law • that all school cafeteria funds be paid into and disbursed by the Town Treasurer's office. This practice has been in effect in Yarmouth for the past few years and consequently necessitated no change in policy. However, provision is again made for a town appropriation to coverlabor costs which have been a burden in the past. As in the case of school athletics, a statement of the cafeteria finances may be found as a part of the Town Treas- urer's report. Transition The completion of the new Elementary School in time for the September opening marked a newera in education 196 for Yarmouth pupils of all ages and for Dennis pupils at the high school level. The pupils are now segregated intotheir proper age groups with obvious benefits to both groups. .The con- gested conditions of recent years have been erased and one needs only to visit either building to observe the benefits to the entire system. Being concerned directly with the high school group, it is gratifying to report that the school now functions as a six-year high school unit. Some of the benefits derived from the change may be of interest. 1. The auditorium is no longer in use as a class room. 2. The library is no longer a home room and study hall, but a vital part of the school. Miss Silva, state li- brarian, has come to the school on several occasions and is working with Mrs. Garland, school librarian, to create a model school library. This objective is receiving the com- plete support of the school department. 3. Adequate study hall space is now available on the first floor. 4. The laboratory is used only for science classes for the first time. 5. New furniture has replaced all elementary furni- ture. 6. The high school has over -flowed and completely tak- en over the former elementary rooms and is for the first time in recent years adequately housed. The most important change made possible by the tran- sition is in the.daily schedule of classes. All classes nowmeet for a minimum of 55 minutes as against 40 minutes formerly. These classes meet in a rotating schedule so that no class meets at the same hour from dayto day. This eliminates the drudgery of the r 197 former routine and at the same time gives both teacher and pupil the benefit of the added teaching time of longer classes. A teacher meets each class for a total of 220 min- utes each week as compared to 200 minutes _formerly, al- though meeting each class only four times a week instead of five as before. .. Both pupils and teachers unanimously report that the day seems shorter and the program consequently more in- teresting. This new schedule has resulted in more classroom teaching time in the same length of school days. Of course, progress in the direction indicated above has been possible only because of the separation of the elementary and secondary groups. For every such advan- tage to the secondary school pupils, there have been cor- responding advantages at the elementary school level. Recommendations Inspite of the progress made, there still remain prob- lems to be confronted. Because Home Economics has been dropped from the program for lack of facilities, it is hoped that provision will be made to restore this important course to_the pro- gram just as soon as is feasible. Likewise the very vital shop program for boys is badly in need of expanded facilities. With the accepted emphasis being placed on vocational education today, the local answer to the problem is prob- ably a separate small building to house both projects. The growth in athletic activity continues to place greater demands on increased gymnasium facilities. - It is hoped that careful consideration will be given to the pro: posed plan for expansion of these facilities. ;In closing, may I express my sincere appreciation to 198 you and the School Committee and to my associates for their continued cooperation. Respectfully submitted, NORMAN B. DINSMORE, Principal REPORT OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PRINCIPAL Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Sir: I _herein submit my first annual report, covering the last four months of 1950, as principal of Yarmouth Ele- mentary School My philosophy as an elementary principal is briefly that education has as its goal to develop to the fullest extent the potentialities of the individual as well as to undergird and seek to promote the welfare of society and that the elementary school should strive towards these goals during the space of time when it has the child in its care. I feel strongly that at the Yarmouth Elementary School we need to know the child—know his potentialities, his needs, his interests, his desires and- lis --fears. Progress comes through growth and growth requires experiences. We must give the child experiences to think and act upon that he may grow. intellectually and emotionally towards maturity. Many of these experiences must deal with the concrete and tangible, many must be first hand rather than vicarious for the child lives largely in the here and now. Experiences must be real, varied and significant. They must challenge observation, thinking and evaluation. Indeed the child must help with the planning as well as the .execution for he must become adept at planning if he is to achieve maximum growth. 199 An elementary school should also possess beauty, sim- plicity and security. Beauty awakens in the child his potentiality for the aesthetic; simplicity is in accord with his nature; and security gives him a feeling of being want- ed, of belonging. Yarmouth Elementary School should be to a degree a child's second home and a place where his true home frequently merges so that his parents and his teachers meet for the purpose of mutual understanding. In order to bring the above to pass. in Yarmouth, I hope to be more than your administrator, rather a coor- dinator, a consultait and an in-service educational leader of your teachers. Certainly great strides have been made. in Yarmouth with the. erection of the superior school.plant, excellently equipped and staffed—second to none of its size, we feel. In September, 365 youngsters were transferred from last year's crowded and intolerable conditions into the spacious new building sans blackboards, new desks and various other equipment. However, as of January 1, the building is completely finished and equipped with the ex- ception of the central library, activity room and the fold- ing chairs for the assembly room, all of which are on order. School opened with the following enrollment: Miss Small (1) 36, Mrs. Dee (1) 36, Miss.Abbott (2) 34, Miss Kelley (2) 33, Mrs. Cox (3) 34, Mrs. Paulson (3) 38, Mrs. Durant _(4) 30, Miss Baker (4) 28, Mrs. Adams (5) 29, Mrs. Chase (5) 30, Mr. Bragg (6) 37. The services of Miss Cook are used to assist the teachers with the lunch duties, clerical work, etc., as well as• to teach some sixth grade classes. Each Wednesday afternoon after school the teachers met with the principal to discuss policies and plan new pro grams of instruction. Early in October, tests of mental maturity and achieve- . • • • • 200 ment were given to all grades and classes. This inventory makes possible better planning on the part of the teachers and insures the children of more pesonalized instruction. In close conjunction with the testing program was an inventory of the textbooks and materials and a detailed study of several new books so that the total elementary program might be rounded out. For the most part, these new books are now in use or on order. No good elementary school program is complete with- out its Audio -Visual aids. Some beginning has been here. Daily lesson plans call for the use of the new DeVry mov- ing picture projector, strip film and 2x3 slide projector, view master projector, Vu Lyte opaque projector, tape re- corder and record player. We have a small library of view master reels, a beginning library of records including the complete R.C.A. record library for elementary sehool as well as several Christmas records and a subscription to the Young People's Record Club. So far limited use has been made of the Stromberg Carlson Radio -Phonograph -Intercommunication system. Now that the assembly room has been made ready for use, this valuable piece of teaching equipment will take its place in the program of instruction. On the recreational side, the playground is beginning to take shape with the Merry -Go -Round, slides and swings arriving as the year ends. In addition to these, a goodly number of games and game balls have been bought with money earned by the children. These include table tennis, Badminton, shuffleboard, indoor horseshoes, volley balls, basketballs, softballs and bats and playground balls. Due to the unfinished state of the building, only one public program was held, a Christmas pageant with 125 parents present. The school cafeteria is a •busy place at noon time serv- ing various meals to a majority of the pupils. Mrs. Leonora 201 Taylor, the manager, is assisted by Mrs. Adele Cottell. I would like, to take this opportunity to express my appreciation for fine cooperation which I have received since my arrival in Yarmouth. Respectfully submitted, ROBERT A. BRAGG Elementary School Principal REPORT OF THE HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARLIN Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Sir: I am pleased to submit my first report as librarian of the John Simpkins School. It would seem appropriate to set forth some of the aims of the school library as given by Lucile Fargo in her book, The Library In The School: 1. To guide pupils in their choice of books and other materials of learning desired both for personal and cur- ricular purposes. 2. To develop in pupils skill and resourcefulness in their use of books and to encourage the habit of personal investigation. 3. To help pupils establish a wide range of significant interest. 4. To provide aesthetic experience and develop appre- ciation of the arts. 5: To encourage lifelong education through the use of library resources. 6. To encourage social attitudes and provide expe- rience in social and democratic living. It is hoped that before the year is over, wecan ac- complish some of these objectives. 202 - The more modern methods of teaching make more and more use of library reference, therefore, it is becoming increasingly important for students to learn to use the library efficiently if they are to be successful. This is es- pecially true of those who plan to go to college. The extremely crowded conditions of the past few years prevented the efficient use of the library and as a consequence we began the year with very little up to date reference material. This proved to be a handicap. Some new reference books have been added among them The World- Book Encyclopedia, but many more are needed before the library can function efficiently and accomplish its aims. There is also a great need for new fiction, non-fiction and biographies. The Massachusetts Division of Public Libraries has very generously sent us ninety-five of the above mentioned books from their lending collection for a period of three months. The South Yarmouth Library has also very willingly cooperated with us by loaning us books for a period- of one or.two months as the need arises. In December they loaned us thirty books. There has been a steady increase in the number of students using the library. This has been very notice- able as new material has been • added for their use. The attendance has increased from an average of thirty a day in September to an average of ninety a day in December. The total number of books circulated from September through December is seven hundred and eighteen. • It is gratifying to note that the value and services of the school. librarian increase week by week and that once again it is occupying a prominent place in the school cur- riculum. Respectfully submitted, MARGUERITEGARLAND, Librarian 203 REPORT OF THE COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Sir: Two years ago, as a new teacher to Yarmouth High School, I was privileged -to have the opportunity to write a report on the Commercial Department, and I am pleased that this opportunity has been afforded, me again. I am intensely interested in my, work as commercial teacher and proud of my students and facilities. This year the school and its students are most fortunate in having an- other full-time 'commercial teacher, Mr. Ernest Cole, a graduate of Boston University. The addition of another full-time teacher affords greater individual help and in- creases the. possibility of a larger business curriculum. To- gether, we shall build and increase the training possible for all its students. There has been an increased interest and enrollment of students, both boys and girls, selecting the commercial course which is most gratifying to me and the school. The following courses are available to students: General Busi- ness or Junior Business Training where students receive a basic foundation for the development of an understand- ing of the relationship between business and our daily Life. In Typewriting I, students receive training in the tech- nique of typewriting for speed and accuracy followed by business letter writing, business forms, and varied type- written material. Advanced Typewriting students receive a knowledge of importance of legal documents, business letters, multiple copies, completion of invoices and business forms and papers and use of the Mimeograph. Bookkeep- ing develops a realization that books must be kept and a general knowledge of the form and content of these books are studied by the students. Two years of Shorthand are offered to the students. Complete theory is mastered and stress is placed on the "mailability." of a letter. Speed 44 204. is encouraged only to the point where a correct transcrip- tion can be produced. General Typewriting, a non -voca- tional course, is available to those senior students who desire a year of typewriting. It is primarily designed to give the student a thorough knowledge of the operation of the typewriter and sufficient skill so that he may use his typewriting for his home, school and social activities. At a special assembly for commercial students, a pro- fessional typist demonstrated speed at the rate of 222 words per minute and did exhibition typewriting. The school has excellent facilities for the training of its students and this equipment is checked periodically which is necessary for good training. Modern textbooks are used and Senior Office Practice students receive train- ing and use in the operation of the Victor Adding Machine, Sundstrand Electrical Calculator, Friden Automatic Cal- culator, and the Ediphone. An electric typewriter as well as standard typewriters are provided for their use. Senior commercial students also have a comprehensive course in Business Filing. This experience is received through the individual filing of actual letters and telegrams by Al- phabetic, Numeric, Subject, Geographic, and special sys- tems of Coding. Stress is placed on the rapid ability of lo - eating filed material. The aim and goal of the training of the Commercial Department is the preparation to enable its graduates who desire remunerative employment to be equipped -to- take - such positions, and I am pleased that several of its gradu- ates have secured and held such positions. I intend to make a survey of the commercial graduates holding these po- sitions for the purpose of a better training for its under- graduates. In this way, I shall incorporate "working experience" into the classroom. I appreciate the cooperation from Mr. Alfred R. Ken- yon, Superintendent, Mr. Norman B. Dinsmore, Principal, and every member of the faculty. It is my desire, and I shall extend every effort to see, that each and every . student of the commercial course of 205 Yarmouth lligh School receives the finest training possible on the Cape. • Respectfully submitted, PRISCILLA M. TINKHAM Commercial Instructor REPORT OF THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION DIRECTOR Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools .. Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Sir: I am pleased to submit my first annual report as direc- tor of physical education of the Yarmouth Schools. Aim and General Objectives of the Program 1- The Aim of Physical Education The ultimate aim of physical education may well be to develop and educate the individual through exposure to and participation in wholesome and interesting physical activities, that he reach his maximum abilities both physi- cally and mentally, and will learn to use his powers in- telligently and cooperatively as a good citizen even under violent emotional stress. 2. The General Objectives of the Program. a. The development of fundamental skills in gym- nastic, rhythmic, and athletic activities for immediate physical, mental and social purpose. • b. The development of useful and desirable skills and interests suitable for leisure time use. c. The development of a comprehensive knowledge and appreciation of rules, techniques and strategies in the above activities. d. The development of acceptable social standards, appreciations and attitudes as the result uf intensive par- ticipation in these activities in a good environment and under capable leadership. 206 e. The development of powers of observation, analysis, judgment and decision through the medium ofcomplex. physical situations. f. The development of the power of self-expression and reasonable self-confidence, by mastery of difficult physi- cal, mental, and social problems in supervised activities. g. The development of leadership capacity by having each student within the limits of his ability assume actual responsibility for certain activities ander careful super- vision. The Physical Education Program 1. The High School Program . Every high school progam in physical education should consist of three parts: 1. the service program, 2. the inter- scholastic program and 3. the intramural program. a. The Service Program • This is undoubtedly the most important : part of the physical education program, and it seems to be develop- ing nicely. At present each student is scheduled twice a week with the exception of the seventh graders who are scheduled only once a week. The school has purchased locks which have been issued to the students, and the great majority of the students have purchased green gym trunks which give the classes a more uniform and neat ap- pearance. During the fall the program centered around soccer, starting with instruction in. rulesand fundamentals and later developing into inter -squad games. The winter program is now concerned with basket- ball fundamentals, rules and play, with part of one period each week being devoted to formal calisthenics and march- ing maneuvers. Later in the winter season a program of elementary tumbling and gymnastics will be introduced and perhaps some instruction of wrestling fundamentals. All these activities will be interspersed with informal games and relays of various kinds. The spring activities will consist, in the main, of track and softball. 207 b. The Interscholastic Program The interscholastic program is well represented by football in the ;fall, basketball in the . winter and baseball and informal track in the spring.. c. The Intramural Program reduced due to The intramural program is greatly our transportation problem and lack of facilittiiesa d have s well as certain administrative problems. However, that ad more interclass games in basketball and it is hop e,dcomplete program can be worked out in the future, per- haps this spring. 2. The Elementary School Program resent involves The elementary school program at p Perhaps when some of the admin- istrative a service program. ro- istrative and physical problems have been solved the p be expanded. However, at•present due toprogram gram may the' program and time conflicts between the two buildingsthough I do is sometimes disrupted or cut out entirely. grades, do have some classes in the fourth, fifth and sire my al capacity is mainly that of a supervisor. classroom teachers are carrying the greater burden of in- struction, which consists at present of simple games, relays and dances. cleared It is hoped that some of these problems can be up in the near future so that a more definite and eomple te elementary program can be set in motion. Recommendations h sisal 1. That a definite plan of grouping individual physical education classes by grades be instituted. ersonnel arrange 2. That adequate and specific time and p rnents be set up for elementary .school physical education. In closing I wish to express nay sincere appreciation to you, to the School Committee, and to my associates in both schools for their support and cooperation. Respectfully submitted, ROBERT L.. COX 208 REPORT OF THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION INSTRUCTOR FOR GIRLS Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon 1 Superintendent of Schools Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Sir: I herewith submit my report as Physical Education In- structor for girls in the Yarmouth and Dennis Schools. The aims in Physical Education are: 1. To improve the general health 2. to improve posture 3. to cultivate a spirit of fairness as well as a love for sport 4. to improve the carriage and develop grace of bodily movements. With these aims in mind, the Physical Education classes are conducted so as to work toward these ends without _ stressing each point individually. Girls are instructed in the fundamentals of each sport before playing the game. Some of the games which girls are capable of playing are hockey, soccer, basketball, bad- minton, volley ball and softball. The program of formal work is comprised of marching, exercises, folk, square and rhythmic dancing. In the elementary grades, games, rhythms and folk dances make up their physical activity. The school year is climaxed with a festival; each grade performing one or more of the folk dances they have learned during the year. The Maico Hearing Test and Snellen Vision Test are given by the Physical Education instructor. Each child in the school is given a test—failures are reported to the nurse who in turn makes the necessary follow-up proced- ures. Teachers benefit by these tests in that they can place the child in the room according to his defect. Respectfully submitted, GERALDINE L. RILL Physical Education Instructor for Girls 209 REPORT OF THE ART INSTRUCTOR Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Sir: Acting in the capacity of art supervisor or instructor for the Brewster, Dennis and Yarmouth School Union, I wish to submit a report of my progress this far and to make known my future objectives. Because I teach art to grades one through twelve, this report will be divided into lower elementary, upper elementary and high school groupings. The lower elementary grades 1-3 have been given units which are recommended by the Massachusetts State De- partment of Education, .such as pets, birds, the farm, food habits, etc. Others have dealt with construction problems as in the construction of windmills, log cabins, jumping - jacks, Hallowe'en masks, Christmas trees, and so on. The remainder of the drawing lessons have been concerned will story illustration. The program for the remainder of the year will be purposely varied which will give the younger pupils op- portunity to explore different art mater:als and media. The art philosophy which is generally agreed upon _ by most art educators is embodied in the following objec- tives: 1. To develop the creative abilities of all children. 2. To develop the powers of observation and visual judgment. 3. To develop the capacity for aesthetic appreciations (which includes all products made by man and nature.) The intermediate grades 4-6 engaged in; painting with poster paints on large mural paper. The subject matter related to topics which they were currently studying. These topics were "the Eskimo", "the Egyptian", "the cave man" and "the explorer". 210 The intermediate graders were also given lettering ex- ercises in both upper case and lower case letters. Other lessons emphasized the use of shadows to make things ap- pear three dimensional instead of two dimension or–flat. Perspective and design were. also studied. Holidays played their part -Hallowe'en, Thanksgiving. and Christmas projects were given. The future art program for the intermediate grades will revolve around graphics, design; craft and construc- tion, art principles, and appreciation of art. Correlation with other subjects will be carried as far as possible. Grades 7 and 8 were given lessons in figure sketching. lettering, water. color, layout for a football program cover, perspective, shadows or light and shade, arrangement of form, running design, design with form and lines, and de- sign of Christmas cards. • The purpose of these varied drawing exercises was to give the pupils a new way of observing things and conse- quently a new way of drawing and painting. To think of things as they are actually composed visually—into ele- ments of form, line, light, shade, balance, proportion, and color. The 7th and 8th grades are presently thinking in terms of industrial design as related to the automobile. If the proposed unit is successful up to the drawing point, it would be well to translate the drawing into .an actual 3 dimensional model of an automobile either in wood or clay. Other proposed units are on architecture, intArior decorating, marionettes, and so .on. The progress of the 7th and 8th grade is determined largely by their interest. and the class cooperation. Skill in drawing is fundamental in painting, sculpture, and the other art fields: For this reason the high school has concentrated on freehand drawing direct from models. Principles of art have also been emphasized. The high school students held an art exhibit for "parents night''. They also painted a stage "back drop" for a musical given 211 by the music department. Linoleum blocks were printed for Christmas cards. The future high school art program will consist of further sketching from real life, painting, industrial design, :architecture, interior design and history of art.. This summarized report would not be complete with- out a word about supplies. I wish to con.pliment-the for: mer art instructor for ordering a sufficient amount of mate- rial to complete the year's program. In the future, however, I would like to be able to order supplies for specific projects. I wish there were a more fluid system created whereby a greater variety of material can be ordered with faster delivery. This would not mean an increase in funds—in fact not as much. I would like to have a special fund for visual aids, be- cause I feel as though a good art program needs more visual aids than an ordinary subject. I feel as -though the art pro- gram can be run more efficiently through advanced planning, but this requires time. Respectfully submitted, JOHN H. RACKOW Art Instructor REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools Yarmouth, Massachusetta Dear Sir: I hereby submit my first annual report as Music Super- visor of Yarmouth. In the High School this year, we organized music ap- preciation classes which give a general understanding of the values, arts and science of music.. Students from the i 1 • 212 • ninth to the twelfth grades are entitled to elect this course. In the seventh and eighth grades and in the elementary school, I have been working on a similar plan, using each class as a separate unit' and working according to their needs. The need is to build a better understanding and appreciation of music for all, parents and teachers as well as pupils, so that we may have strong support in our musical work to come. I have been working individually with pupils on vari- ous instruments in preparation to building a school orches- tra and rebuilding the school band. This past football sea- son, the band played for the home games. The GirlsGlee Club is reduced in size due to the fact that it meets after schooL Since September we have performed- many --programs- - for school and for other organizations, as listed below: At Yarmouth High School: October 27—"Talent Night"—opened to anyone in the school who wished to participate, for the purpose of stimulating interest. November 17—"Harvest Coneert"—given by the Glee Club. For the Parent-Teacher Association: December 12—"Christmas Concert"—given by chil- dren from the elementary school and the Glee Club. Radio Station WOCB :" December 18—Selected members of the Glee Club presented Christmas music during a half hour program. This same group also gave concerts informally for: The Barnstable County Sanatorium in Pocasset The Williams Hospital at Otis Air Base The Woman's Club at South Yarmouth The Christmas assembly at the High School. In the Elementary school, the entire student body was used in a special Christmas presentation for the parents. 213 This gave every child a feeling of participating, instead of selecting the usual few children to perform. These programs take a great amount of time from everyone, concerned, but are greatly beneficial to the girls participating, for they gain confidence in themselves, their work, and in the music they sing; and they are getting a wealth of experience which helps them in other fields of work. During the year, I hope to expand the whole musical program, making music more important to every child, and giving more opportunities for music learning to the high school pupils, working as necessary for both immediate and long range objectives. Respectfully submitted, MARTHA. A. LOVEN Director of Music REPORT OF THE SCHOOL NURSE Mr. Alfred R. Kenyon Superintendent of Schools Yarmouth, Massachusetts Dear Sir: The program of the school health department appears - to have been along the same lines as in previous years. Our usual routine work has been carried on including inspection of the classrooms as a whole and individual inspections to prevent undesirable conditions, consultations with teachers, pupils and parents to improve health habits and sanitation. Pupils have been weighed and tests given for vision and hearing. We have assisted the school Physician with the annual health examinations and the follow-up work in notifying parents of defects found by the Physician. The nurse has assisted in the Dental Clinics, Eye Clin- ics, Toxoid and Vaccination Clinics, Fluorine treatments 214 were given to specific age groups by the County Health De- partment. Other clinics available are the Crippled Chil- dren's Clinic and the Chest Clinic. Each of these is held monthly at the Cape Cod Hospital. To all our co-workers in the schools, we wish to ex- press our appreciation for their cooperation. The statistical report of our work follows: School visits Inspections: Classroom Individual Health Inventory by Physician First-aid Treatments Number of children weighed Conferences: Teachers Principal Parents Pupils Vision Tests Hearing Tests Exclusions Home Visits Clinic Attendance: Eye Dental Fluorine Treatm Vaccinations Toxoid -Pre -School " School Respectfully submitted, 73 68 1367 766 4 268 385 20 18 28 2 6 19 98 14 74 113 21 27 286 District Nursing Association of Barnstable, Yarmouth and Dennis Margaret J. Cooper R.N. Supervising Nurse 215 REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN During the 1950 school year, all the routine physical examinations have been taken care of. These include ex- aminations of the heart, throat, feet, weight, etc., as well as thorough examinations of pupils participating in school athletics. Any physical defect found or special problem needing medical attention has been reported to the parents. Many of these reports to parents have been followed by home visits. A large number of health examinations have been given throughout the year to pupils between the ages of 14-16 who have been desirous of working after school hours, Saturdays and other tunes when school is not in session. This is done in .compliance with the General Laws relating to Education, Chapter 149, Section 87, (3) which states • that a certificate must be signed by a -"school or family physician, or by a physician appointed by the school com- mittee, stating that the child has been thoroughly examined by said physician, and in his opinion is in sufficiently sound health and physically able to perform the work which the child intends to do." The majority of these examinations were given during the summer months. Emergency calls for accidents occurring while school was in session and requiring medical attention have been answered and taken care of as soon as possible. Numerous examinations have been made of children returning to school, after absence due to a contagious dis- ease, who have not secured from their family physicians or the Board of Health the certificate of health required by State Law as set forth in Chapter 71, Section 55 of the General Laws Relating to Education which says, in part, that "A child returning to school after having been absent on account of infection or exposure to a contagious disease shall present a certificate from the board of health or its duly appointed agent that the danger of conveying such disease has passed, provided, that if such .a child returns 216 to school without such a certificate, after having been ab- sent on account of such infection or exposure, he shall im- mediately be referred to a school physician for examination and, if it is found by such physician, upon such examination, that such danger has passed, he may remain at school." Cooperation on the part of the school nufse, the Super- intendent of Schools, teachers and parents has been excel- lent. Respectfully submitted, HERMON E.
