Your committee' thus . appointed and instructed beg leave to report to the town as follows • f { 5 THE COMMITI IE'S WORK IN GENERAL: Your committee began its work the last of May. From that time on meetings were held each week and on occasions even twice a week. The Superintendent of Schools as the executive of the School Committee and the educational advisor of the Building Committee was invited to participate it all meetings and activities of the Committee, except to vote. The Committee's first duty was to familiarize itself with exist- ing conditions and needs. Its next highly important task was the selection of an architect as an advisor. A number of architects of - high standing in schoolhouse construction were interviewed, no less than six long meetings being given to this purpose. James Il-' Ritchie and Associates of Boston were invited to serve in this cap- acity. Such selection of an architect to make preliminary sketches . of a desired building and to otherwise assist the Committee in shap- ing its plans involves the town in no financial responsibility unless it votes to build a schoolhouse. With the architect selected the Committee's next move was to discover, inspect and study possible building sites. Much -time was put into this matter by all of our members, the architect also parti- cipating in this work. It was found desirable also to visit some school buildings which in size, plan, character of c-onstruction and cost would be suggestive. - to such a committee as ours. Accordingly trips were made to buildings in Sandwich, Barnstable, and Falmouth to inspect schoolhouses of recent construction, with helpful results. ' Also,. many members of our committee were familiar with .. modern schools in other locations and offered valuable suggestions: We have also held conferences with, committees from the towns of Dennis and Brewster relative to their sending their high school pupils to Yarmouth in case a modern.. well-equipped school is erected. We learn that Dennis is ready to do this and that while Brewster is not officially committed it is much interested in the possibilities of the plan. In fact, our conferences with committees . 1 1 1 C., • 6 from our neighboring towns were most encouraging and your com- mittee feels that the prospects of cooperation in this regard are most promising. - We have given consideration to the idea of a town hall as a wing of the new building. Since an assembly hall is one of the essential units of the modern sehool and since the• town has a real need for larger and more • suitable quarters- for ;meeting purposes " there seems to us no reason why the two uses could not be com- bined in the one auditorium. 'It would be available for town meet- ings eetings and other important civic events. But thesewould not inter- fere with its almost constant use- by the school for assemblies, choruses, dramatics, and other large • group activities. Your Committee, after a careful study of our needs in the light of proper and desirable standards, became convinced that the schoolhouse needed -could not be built for a sum within the debt limit of the town. Accordingly -it petitioned the selectmen to eall a special town meeting for the purpose of authorizing the select= men to secure legislation in extending the debt limit. A special town meeting on November 26 authorized such procedure and a bill, so drawn as to meet the approval of the Bureau of -Municipal . Ac- counts, is now before the legislature authorizing the town to borrow sums not exceeding $100,000 beyond the debt limit. Your committee believing that a large number of our citizens are intensely interested in the matter of a municipal building or town hall adequate for town meetings and for the housing of town offices, if thought desirable, recommended : that the legislation ap= plied for be broad enough to accomplish this object. Your com- mittee further believes that, such - a building can be constructed at practically the same cost as a school building alone because of the combined use of the auditorium by the townand by the school. Your committee wishes to express its thanks to the Owl Clnb and the First National Bank for their courtesy in providing lighted and comfortable meeting places for the sessions of the committee. 4 CONSOLIDATION OF SCHOOLS Your committee makes" the following findings. in this\regard: '. 1. The trend in recent years has been strongly " toward con - consolidating several scattered, two or three-room buildings into a single larger building. - 2. Better grading of pupils and better specialization of teach- ing can be gained from consolidation. . 3. Without being too large,. single classes can be large enough to have a wholesome competition and emulation among its members. This is not possible when several grades are in a room and only a few pupils comprise each class. 4. The system of fine highways developed by our town will do much to promote consolidation because of the comfort and safety • with which children can be transported. - 5. In the three schoolhouses now used, there are three element- ary teachers in each. In a consolidated school with the present en- rollment the work could be done by seven teachers instead of -nine, 'and more efficiently, thus resulting in a saving of twenty-five to twenty-eight hundred dollars a year. . For the foregoing reasons • your comniittee is strongly con- ' vinced that our schools should be consolidated at the earliest possible moment and do so recommend. OUR PRESENT SCHOOLHOUSES " We find the existing schoolhouses were built around seventy- five years ago and consequently are ill -adapted to present day needs. Conditions in the three different villages are as follows: -- West Yarmouth :—The lower rooms here are too small, occasion- ing unwholesome crowded conditions. The new room fitted up this last summer. at the sacrifice of the village library is satisfactory in area at the present moment but admits of no future extension. Toil- et facilities are inadequate and unhealthy. 8 South Yarmouth :—This building in its heating and ventilating conditions does not complywith the best standards established by the Commonwealth for schoolhouses. Much of its interior is worn and unsatisfactory. Its toilets are objectionable from any point of view. Yarmonthport:—The two rooms on the first floor are oversized and are difficult to heat and ventilate properly. The first and second grades of this village are now in the manual training building. While this is satisfactory for a small group of pupils such as now constitute these two grades this room was not intended as a regular class room and can only be regarded as a makeshift. The main building here which quarters the high school on its upper floor is / utterly inadequate and unsuitable for present needs. Its present overcrowded condition will be aggravated by the incoming class next September. The toilet facilities here are to be condemned. In all three of the village school buildings, the corridors -are unsatisfactory*. The stairways are narrow and steep and in case of fire would seriously endanger the safety of the pupils. Except in the upstairs West Yarmouth rooms, once a part of the village brary, there is no artificial light in any of the school rooms in any of the school buildings. • This light is needed in the dark days of late autumn and early winter. Running water, so indispensable for drinking, washing, and toilet purposes is absent in all the buildings, thus meaning that the pld-type outhouse is still in"use. This con- dition from the Standpoint of comfort, health and morals is to be deplored. Your committee therefore earnestly recommends that these three obsolete buildings be replaced by a modern schoolhouse which would be a source of satisfaction and pride to the entire community. We believe that the present is a most opportune time for our town to engage in the construction of its schoolhouse. The Presi- dent of the United States recently called for concerted national, state, and community effort in the direction of new public improve- ments to insure continued commercial prosperity. A building en- terprise such as ours would furnish employment and business op - 9 portunity this coming year to some of our citizens and would con -- tribute to the general welfare of the country which is giving concern to our national leaders to -day. OUR GROWING SCHOOL POPULATION A further reason for our favoring a new building is the fact that our school population is growing. Within' the last year a new room has 'been opened in each of the three villages, in part to pro- vide better grading and in part to remedy crowded conditions. In the section near Hyannis growth has been especially marked and. rapid. Thirty-one cottages have been builtwithin the last twoyears at Colonial Acres most of which are permanent family homes. In these homes are young children growing up who will soon be enter- ing school. In the first grade alone at the West Yarmouth school" there are twenty --one pupils, almost as many as there used to be in all of the first four grades. There is no further room for expansion in our present buildings. 'UNSATISFACTORY HIGH SCHOOL CONDITIONS We find, also, that our high school is (and has been for some years) handicapped by insufficient and ill -adapted quarters. It lacks thefollowing features of an up-to-date high school: - I. Regular class rooms with a maximum of thirty-five pupils each. 2. School library, - 3. Commercial rooms (a) Bookeeping and stenography rooms separated from o te- another by glass petition so one teacher controls activities in both. rooms. (b) Typewriting room • 4. Domestic arts (a) Sewing and dressmaking room (b) Cooling room 10 5. Practical arts, or woodworking for boys 6. Gymnasium 7. Lunch Room 8. Assembly ball 9. Ample play grounds and athletic fields We recommend •that in the new building ample quarters b -- provided for the high school affording all the desi- rable features of. the modern -secondary school as indicated above. DISADVANTAGES OF A SMALL HIGH SCHOOL Your committee learns that . our high school is hampered not only by cramped and unsuitable quarters but also by its compara- tively small size. Our Superintendent. of Schools has summarized for ns the disadvantages of a high school with fifty or so pupils as compared with one of twice its enrollment, and conversely, the ad -vantaages of the larger schooL - The disadvantages o€ the small high school are: 1. High pupil costs. • 2 Limited curriculum. 3. Small classes. 4. Teachers with subjects which they are not so well prepared .to teach. 5. Frequent changes in the staff of teachers. 6. 3lany inexperienced teachers. The advantages of a larger school are: L More reasonable per pupil cost. - 2. Broader program of studies. 3. Larger, and more interested classes. 4. Better departmentalization of work. 5. Teachers better prepared in their subjects. 11 6. More likelihood of a longer term of service from satisfactory -teachers. 7. A principal with'. more professional experience and a prgb- .ably longer termof service. - 8. Better organized school in general ; a more wholesome and - enthusiastic development of school athletics and of other phases of .. physical education; more opportunity and stimulus to the forming -of school orchestras, choruses, dramatic, literary and debating clubs, and other extra -curricular activities which are valuable additions to the regular work. Such a school will give the students a broader preparation for the realities of the business and civic life.in which they must soon participate. If the high school pupils of Yarmouth, Dennis and Brewster could be served by a single school, it would make a membership of one hundred and twenty-five to one hundred and fifty pupils as against our present number of fifty-eight. Such an enlargement would result in improved educational opportunity to every -sigh_ -- school student in each of the. three towns. This most desirable result can be obtained, in the opinion of your Committee, by the present construction of a combined grade and high school building adapted to the future growth of our ovm school population and to the immediate use thereof for the education of our own high school pupils and those of our two neighbors. Our own probable future growth will require the providing of extra class rooms, the cost of which v. -ill be inconsiderable now as compared with the cost of enlarging the whole building when neces- sity demands it. It is good business to prepare for this certain eventuality at once; especially so, inasmuch . as these extra class. rooms will enable .us to grasp the immediate benefit of a larger and better organized high school by being able to offer at once to our meighhors like advantages to their high school students. It is to be no- ted that all the other facilities of the building, which we must at all events provide for our own pupils, are at the -same time available for use by the enlarged school. The tuition • derived . from this :source will be a .large and important factor in the reduction of the 12 annual per pupil cost and a like reduction in our future tax rate.. In short, we will have a better high school at less per pupil cost; . likewise, our neighbors will have improved -high school opportunity for their pupils at a less per pupil. cost. • Tour Committee feels that a real opportunity is h.erc presented to Yarmouth, not only to afford better education to many, but also to bring into close and cordial relationship a large and important section of the Cape by thus co-operating in the extension of better high school education to the coning generations. Your Committee strongly rccommc_nds the erection of a building adequate in size to ac- complish this purpose. THE SCHOOLHOUSE SITE Your Committee has given a great deal of time and thought to this matter. We find that the -standard size for a school. lot is from six to ten aeks. This is to provide for play grounds for the younger children, school gardens, athletic fields for the older pupils, includ- ing baseball,- football, and_basket ball fields, and parking space for • spectators at games. Yarmouth as a town has no athletic field upon. - which County League or inter -scholastic baseball and football games can be played. Its need in this .regard has been keenly felt for some time by our youth and by our summer visitors interested in athletic sports. Here again' an opportunity is afforded to plan an athletic field sufficient :in size and equipment for use by both school and town. One of the most difficult tasks of any Building Planning- Com- mittee is the selection of a site. Your Committee has found it diffi- -- cult.;_o advise the selection of a lot because of a number of conflict- ing factors. A site which is to be determined by population alone obviously requires that the school be placed on the south side of the town. This - fact is even more obvious if a municipal building is to be combined_ with the schoolhouse. • 13 A site which is to be determined by the present school popula- tion together with the probable growth in school_ •population, should be located in the western section of West Yarmouth.. . A site selected to avoid the hazards and dangers of continually increasing highway traffic should be located at au :easily -accessible site off the state highway. A site which would appropriately display our school building should be upon ons of our two main arteries of travel. With these facts in mind your Committee bas made tours of inspection to many possible sites. Six were at South Yarmouth, the present school lot, one by the golf club, the Taylor farm, the Ham- mett place, a tract at Pawkunnawkut extending to James' Pond, and Wing Park on Indian Memorial Drive near Long Pond. Four were at West Yarmouth, the present 'school site, the Isabel Taylor lot, the Mill Hill area, and one in the region of Baxter Avenue. Three were on the North Side, the present school site, the lot west of the Bank Building extending south, and the town lot at Old Yarmouth. Out of all the locations viewed and studied, your Committee .narrowed its consideration to the following sites: 1. Pawkunnawkut, South Yarmouth. -. This lot consists of seven or eight acres of land fronting on Pond Street at the corner of Wood Road. It is near Indian Memorial Drive recently laid out by the town and opening a section destined to be an attractive portion of the village. A member of the Depart- ment of. Education, who had the opportunity to see the principal sites under consideration, exressed a preference for this lot, chief- ly because it was off the main street and had attractive, natural surroundings. The owners of this tract .of land have assured your Committee that it will be given to. the town as a site for the school- house and athletic field if acceptable to the town for this purpose. 2. The Hammett site, South Yarmouth. This has a wide frontage on the main street, old trees, and agreeable setting. This site including necessary adjoini g land for the play grounds will cost approximately $16,000. ' • • 14 3. Mill Hill site, West. Yarmouth. This is on the main street in a growing section of the town, the Hyannis fire station being within . two miles. The cost of an ade- quate amount of laud at this site is unknown to your Committee. 4. The present high school lot, Yarmouthport. This is on the main street with ample aereage.in the rear avail- able by purchase for an athletic field: Your Committee has assur- ance from a family which has always taken deep interest in the high, school in its traditional setting that it will purchase and give to the town the additional land necessary for the athletic field and adequate frontage on the main highway. It has further assurance that this family will also make a gift to the town of at least $15,000 to be ap- plied to the construction of a school gymnasium. _ Tour Committee gave careful consideration to the relative ad- vantages of the various sites.,In view, however, of the proffered gifts in connection with the Yarmouthport sites it feels that from a financi- al standpoint it should and does hereby recommend_ this site.to the town. CAN YARMOUTH AFFORD A NEW BUILDING? The measure of a town's ability to pay for a major public wel- fare project -is :— ,1 (a) Its comparative 'freedom from debt. (b) Itspresent valuation. (c) Its future trend -of valuation. (d) And its freedom from other pressing needs. - (a) As things now stand .the town at the end of 1930 will owe - only $1300. (b) The town's valuation for 1928 was $4,100,000, a high one - for a small -sized town. (c) From 1918 to 1928 the valuation has more than doubled. - It has risen from $1,900,000 to $4,100,000 and the outlook for a steady and progressive increase, through the continued. building by summer 15 - residents of high-class country and shore places, is -most promising. This increasing valuation is constantly lessening.the taxation burden per $1,000. For example, a series of notes issued ten years ago which increased the tax levy $1 per $1,000 would add to the tax levy of 1929 less than 50 cents per $1,000. (d) The town has spent much money in late year for good roads.. This phase of permanent public improvement is practically - completed, the only outstanding obligation at the close of this year being the above mentioned $1300.' There is no other pressing public demand to share the stage with the schoolhouse need and we are con- vinced that the modernization of our school plants will attract more and. more desirable families to locate in our midst, as has been the well-known experience of other towns taking this progressive step. In conclusion, your Committee wishes to state that in its opinion financing the schoolhouse proposition as recommended will prove no more burdensome than the permanent road construction authorized and paid for in the last ten years, and that the town can well afford. to carry through this great public improvement which will so largely benefit its citizens and its youths in particular. • RECOMMENDATIONS Your Committee's recommendations- are summarized as follows: 1. Consolidation of elementary grades into one.building. 2. Replacement of present obsolete buildings by a first-class schoolhouse or school and municipal building, at an estimated cost" • of $185,000. •- 3. -A section of new building to provide modern quarters and equipment for the high school, • 4. Extra rooms in the high school section to provide for future - growth in our own population and to accommodate for the immediate future the high school pupils of Dennis and Brewster, thus affording the greater advantages to all concerned of a larger and better or- ganized schooL 5. The selection of the Yarmouthport site for the reasons afore -J said. PINANCJAL REPORT • OF THE TOWN OF YARMOUTH • FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1936 YARMOUTI PORT, MASS.: C. W.

SehooIs. ' An important decision was made at our last aunt town meeting, when Yarmouth voted for a consolidated school house; to be located in South Yarmouth. The town should give this incur - school its full support, -so far as finances permit. A suitable up- proach and exit to the, school and adjazent playground are recom- mended. eccemended. Fire Protection. Yarmouth voted at a special town meeting - on December 13, 1930, to provide a water system for the yiltar•es of Yarmouthport and Yarmouth and also fire protection by the purchase of two 500• gallon pumpers, suitable fire appliances, suf- ficient hose, etc., for both the North aid South. Sides. It is rec- ommended that steps be taken to provide (by trimming trees, ete.) a suitable passage for a hose line from •the new school house to Long Pond. Tree Protection. Public spirited organizations and citizens cf Yarmouthport and South Yarmouth took prompt action last sum-- mer urging that the beautiful row of elms on the State Highway i Yarmouthport should not be cut down or mutilated, and satisfac- tory assurances were received from the State Department of Pah% Works that no such action would be taken by that Departr¢ent. It is recommended that where any pipes for water, gas, etc.'are to be laid near the Highway or town roads in any part of Yarmouth,. that proper precautions be taken to see that the trees are not dam— aged in any wa)l. Sewerage and Fire Risks. It is recommended that suitable and adequate restrictions, such as have been adopted by certain - progressive towns in 'Massachusetts, be made by the Town author - ties who have jurisdiction, relative to sewers and drainage, and alsa the storage of oil, kerosene, gasoline,' and all other inflammable and • 38 - dangerous fluids used for heating, cooking, etc.- For many years our citizens relied entirely on coal and wood for heating, but con- ditions have changed most radically,' .and suitable restrictions should be made to lessen the risk of fire. Only fortunate weather conditions, with no wind, prevented a general conflagration from sweeping through Yarmouthport at the time of the disastrous fire near the Yarmouth School last October. Our efficient Tree Warden and Road Commissioners have very wisely in recent years trimmed out some of the wood roads where a forest 'fire if once under way might menace our villages. ' It is recommended that this much needed and important work he continued and extended. • Mid -Cape Highway. It is recommended that our town author- ities and our citizens do all in their power to hasten in due time the proposed mid -Cape State Highway, which will relieve ,conges- tion and danger in our villages and obviate any call to cut down. our trees, which are assets adding beauty and charm to our villages. Conclusion. Let us face the New Year with hope for -our town and Cape Cod. A study of the 155th United States Census, taken last spring, is enlightening and encouraging. Barnstable County had 32,305 inhabitants against 26,670 in 1920, a gain of over 20%. Yarmouth showed, an even greater gain: 1,794 against 1;229, a gain of 46%. Yarmouth should not lag behind, but go forward, as we believe the thoughtful and public spirited citizens, wish our town to do. Yarmouth should have modern housing restrictions and building line regulations in order to lessen the danger of lire risk and for many other reasons. Some suitable kind of zoning will bring a benefit and not a hardship to our town, just as it has done in Falmouth. Respectfully submitted, THOMAS C. TH.ACHER, Chairman, Yarmouth Planning Board. • r • 1 . 39 REPORT OF THE TOWN CLERK 14 marriage certificates, 2 certified copies of marriage,. 29 certified copies of birth, 17 certified copies of death, 11 garage registrations, 20 gasoline registrations, 1 gunpowder registration, . 31 milk license fees, 3 oleomargarine license fees,_ Recording bills of sale, Recording 3 junk licenses, - Recording 1. permit to weigh coal, Issued 141 male dog licenses, Issued 28 female dog licenses, 169 dog license fees, Paid County Treasurer dog tax, Issued 200 resident hunter's licenses, Issued 8 non-resident hunter's licenses, Issued 4 non-resident hunter's licenses, Issued 2 alien hunter's licenses, Issued 15 resident trapping licenses, Issued 7 minor trapping licenses, Issued 3 duplicate licenses, .

Construction is now progressing well and it is ex- petted that the new quarters will be ready for occupancy this Sep- tember. The building consists of one main unit of two-story, brick col- onial archiit;cture and two wings, one being the hall and the other the gymnasium. These wings are of one story type with a clear suggestion of early Cape Cod architecture in their design. The first floor of the main building has eight class rooms which will be for the elementary 'grades. The second floor which will be used mainly by the high school has seven rooms.' These include a laboratory, library, bookkeeping and typewriting rooms. Although devoted particularly to special lines of work, these rooms are usable 'as home -rooms and as recitation rooms for other subjects. Besides these there are in the well -lighted basement a domestic science room, • • 6 a fair -sized lunch room, wood working and printing shops as well i as toilets and some of the shower baths that are an adjunct to- the gymnasium. - Another proper matter to be contained in this report as a part of our permanent records is that public-spirited friends of the Town offered gifts towards the accomplishment of our new school project when it was taking shape about a year ago. Mrs. Mabel Simpkins Agassiz, who some years ago equipped manual training shops in each of our villages, earlyf•bore the ex- . pense of carrying on the manual and domestic science arts and of-, terwards for a term of years paid half of the expense, and her brother, Mr. C. R. Simpkins, who in the memory of his brother, John Simpkins, put 'up the attractive little building in the yard near -by the high school to be used in instruction in these practical courses, offered to provide an ample area of land adjoining the high school for a site of a new school building and $15,000 towards its gym- . nasium. Mr. I. K. Taylor, Captain Albert N. Matthews and Mr. Samuel D. Elmore, all of South Yarmouth, offered certain parcels of land lying in South Yarmouth for schoolhouse sites. Although: the voters at their annual Town Meeting decided on a different site on the South Sidt, sincere thanks and appreciation are due the above mentioned donors for their generous offers. In -particular, the School Committee, and the Superintendent, as the official repre- sentatives of the School Department, wish to publicly express their gratitude for the good will toward local education facilities which was shown in the proffers of assistance. TEACHING, SERVICE Along with the satisfaction that we all can take in the posses- sion of a fine modern building, we should realize that the best and newest kind of a schoolhouse is only a means to an end. The build- ing may be admired by people from far and near as they drive past - it but it is what goes on inside of its walls that really counts in the lives of our children. Unless we devote ourselves to the task -now before us in building up a strong teaching staff, strong in character, • • • .? in personality, culture, teaching skill and in, sympathy with child life, the investment just made by .the Town in the ';ew school plant • will not yield the proper return. While every care should be taken to see that a dollar invested yields adequate return; we should be ready to pay- for a high quality of service -when we are sure of receiving that grade. of service. To this. end a better and more in-' .• viting salary .schedule should be developed in proper degrees and fo a reasonable maximum. - 1931 BUDGET - - Because of the reorganization of the school system after the summer vacation, the expense of the latter part of this year naturally will be materially increased. The operation of the build- ing, particularly as to fuel oil, insurance on so comparatively; a large plant, transportation of a larger number of pupils, and sal-. aries of a larger high school staff all of necessity bring about heavier. - expense. Our costs for the first half of the calendar year are fairfy. accurate, being based upon experienced conditions. But those fes the second half cannot be foreseen with the same reasonable cer- tainty until after` we have been running for a period under the near arrangements. In our estimates, however, we have given - careful .- study to the different itemsand without unwisely skimping have tried to be wisely conservative. It must be remembered, however, that high school costs will l lessened by the• reimbursements that will come into the. town treas- ury from outside pupils. While the total amount of expenditure must be asked for in the appropriation, these'credits will have their - effect in the net taxation costa. . HEALTH -The National or "White House Conference on Child Health and Protection • •- The general recommendations of the recent White House con- • ference on Child Health and Protection contained the following: 1. Every child should receive periodical healtlr- examinatiouaz - 8 before and during the school period including adolescence, by the family physician, or the school or other public physician and such examination by specialists and such hospital care as its special needs may require. , • 2. Every child should have regular dental examination and care. - 3. Every child should have instruction in the schools in health and in safety from accidents, and every teacher should be train- ed in health programs. 4. Every child should be protected from communicable dis- eases to which he might be exposed at home, in school or at play, and protected from impure milk and food. 5. Every child should attend, a school which has proper seat- ing, lighting, ventilation and sanitation. For younger children, •_ kindergartens and nursery,schools should be provided to supple- , ment.home care. 6. The school should be so organized as to discover and de- velop the special abilities of each child, and should assist in vo- cational guidance,`for -children, like men, succeed by the use of their strongest qualities and special interests. , 7. Every child should have some form_of religious, moral and character training. • 8. Every child has a right to play with adequate facilities therefor. , health 9. • The rural child should have as satisfactory schooling, protection and welfare facilities as'the city child.` - Some of these objectives are already being realized ansome I-ce just ahead of us. Our full duty to the children, however, t be realized until all of the objectives quoted above have been ac- complished. The following report by Dr. A. P. Goff, County Health Officer who acts as School 'Physician for our town, gives a statement cf conditions in this field of health as he finds them. The School Physician's Report The condition of school children has in general improved dur- ing the year. The question of proper diet isconstantly receiving more attention and special effort is being made to furnish milk to the young children. Questions concerning the correction of •defects also are receiv- ing more attention, especially as regards teeth. The portable den- tal outfit has been in constant use during the year and apparently will be,for the year to come. It has been particularly useful in those. towns where no other facilities are available. • The law regarding vaccination is pretty well complied with at present in this -County, and it is especially recommended that all children be successfully vaccinated against smallpox before enter- ing school. The law regarding this matter is plain. T A considerable amount of immunization against diphtheria bas been, .and. is being done, in the majority of the towns of the Coon- ty, and it is strongly recommended that' all children in the lower •grades, that is under ten years, be immunized. Pre-school immuniia- . tion is being done in many cases. . I wish to express my appreciation of the aid which has uniform- ly been given by the Superintendent, School Committee, teachers and nurses in all matters concerningthe health of school children. Of course in all matters pertaining to school children the home. influence and assistance are the paramount considerations, and this is especially true as regards -matters pertaining to health. __Parents are usually found willing to cooperate in all legitimate efforts. The School Nurse The School Nurse in addition to her work in guarding against contagious diseases should be conceived of as a Supervisor of Health 'and a connecting link between the school and home in matters af- fecting pupil attendance and progress in school.. Her allotment of time • and her compensation should be sufficient to realize this re- lationship. Also when the Achool Physician through . thorough ex- 10 - - amination (oftener if necessary than the legally prescribed annual examination) discovers physical defects the School Nurse should be .a strong factor in the follow-up work which is usually necessary to see that the child receives the benefit of remedial treatment.. • - The Dental Clinic One most constructive of health measures is being carried out in the form of the school dental clinic, through the fine, cooperation vur local Board of Health. The detailed report of the treatments -given is to be found on another page. - The Sumner Round -up ; This round -up is also known as the pre-school child clinic. .Its -Object is to encourage parents wbo have children soon to enter school to bring them for a thorough, physical examination. This examina- • tion will either reveal that the child is in good health and will, enter pool without handicaps or it will uncover defects and tendencies which will handicap the child in his school work. Often times en- tfrely unsuspected troubles exist and even if the child were not soon 211 enter school, the earlier these troubles are known• and efforts are ode to overcome them the more assured will be the child's future tzealth and efficiency, because it is a well known fact that one phys- • meal defect. pre -disposes to other defects. "A stitch in time saves nine". This summer round -up is now a, well established procedure - throughout the State and more -mothers in our own community should . Ie influenced to make use of the clinic than heretofore. PHYSICAL EDUCATION Interwoven closely with health education and .health service rendered the children is physical education, or directed play and athletics and corrective exercises. An examination ofour young nen of draft age during the World War revealed that a surprising - Ly large percentage of men examined were physically unfit and that - the defects were largely those which could have been prevented in school life by proper attention, treatment and training. In- the 1 • i II -. 7 _ . .- • • light of these facts, there•has been in -the-last ten years remarkable: ` extension of organized physical education in the school systems. throughout the land. Gymnasiums have been built in large numbers... play grounds and recreation fields have multiplied and trained/ ' supervisors have been. employed in increasing numbers. According•`, ly, this phase of education has become as much a part of the school curriculum as other and longer established subjects in efficient schools all over the country and should find its place -in our own system. -"Play", as Mr. Joseph Lee expresses it, "is not a luxury - but a necessity. It is not simply something that a child likes to - have; itis something he must have if he is to 'ever grow np. It is:. an essential part of this education; it is an essential part of the law - of his growth ; of the process by which he becomes a man at all." This fundamental of child study explains why organized or e rected play is such an important part in any scheme -of physical education applied to any school system by any properly trained/ supervisor. - - - ' Another vital phase of wisely conceived physical. education in- volves the use of corrective exercises for spinal curvature- and 'other posture defects. For curvature is an evidence of maladjustment and not a cause. The cause must be discovered and removed, otherwise, exercises, designed to remedy conditions will be futile. - Having in mind this conception of physical education as- it af- ' fects the child's health andefficiency in days present and to comms it; is -.evident that in our school program .we must look forward tea doing more in the way of providing playgrounds, -gymnasiums, phys- ical examinations, individual diagnosis of physical defects, prescrip— tion and supervision of corrective exercises, and follow-up work to._ enlist the cooperation of. the home in all remedial measures. AU this, of course, must be in addition to the regular- work with the nor- . mal pupil whom we want to maintain in- physical fitness and all- - round good health. 7,, To inaugurate and carry on a program with these ends in view requires a trained supervisor.... In our new school the gymnasium will_be a.great asset to this .r 1 12 phase of our training of pupils and our new and ample school grounds have large possibilities of developing into still greater as- sets. It is to be hoped that a way will be found to make the most of our new play and athletic field area for the benefit of the children._ f and young men and women of today and all the youth that are to follow after them. - THE HIGH SCHOOL •. - The principal, Mr. Oscar L. Garland, reports as follows: , The attendance has somewhat improved over that of a similar period last year, the record for the first three months being ninety- . ., four and twenty-two hundredths per cent. Also the. number of tardy marks has considerably decreased. I am glad to report that all full time teachers returned this • year, since numerous and frequent changes in teachers is a detri- ment to any school system. The courses given this year do not differ greatly fromthose given last year. The only additional courses being given that have not been offered iu recent years, are second year algebra and second ' year Latin. Previously it has been customary to make courses in _ music and drawing compulsory for all pupils, but this year those courses have been elective. However, most pupils elect both of these studies. A good spirit of eQ-operation exists between teachers and pupils, and we feel that the standard of scholarship on the part of the pupils is gradually improving. . In order to promote better teachings, faculty meQtings are held: twice each month at which various phases of modern education are discussed. These discussions are based largely upon information secured from a recent publication entitled—The Child -Centered . School—An Appraisal of -the New Education, by Rugg and Shumak- • er pf' the Lincoln School, Teachers' College, Columbia University. - Also, our faculty has joined those of the Brewster and Dennis schools in several departmental conferences called by the Superin- tendent. - 13 • - In athletic contests we continue to support teams in basketball and baseball. A successful season was enjoyed in both sports Last year, particularly iri basketball, when the boys' team won'the cham- pionship in their division of the league. ' This year the morning assemblies have been conducted by the various classes in turn, the class presidents being, in charge. This arrangement has stimulated more interest on the part of: the pupils and has resulted in some interesting programs. From a recent survey made in the school it was gratifying to note that a large percent of the pupils have intentions of continuing their education in higher institutions of learning after graduation from high school. - We are all deeply grateful for the fact that next year we will occupy a new and modern building. In view of this change, recom- mendations for physical equipment bardly_seem necessary at this time. The great advantage to be gained' by a larger and modern• school plant, to include such -things as a broader program of studies embracing manual and practical -arts, larger classes, departmental- ization of work, more and better athletics with appropriate and. suf- ficient equipment for the same, better laboratory and sanitary facil- ities, opportunity for extra -curricula activities including orchestras, -choruses, dramatic, literary and debating clubs, and numerous oth- er things which might be enumerated are so apparent that they do not here need explanation. • In conclusion, I wish to express my appreciation for the co-op- .eration given me by the Superintendent, School Committee, teachers; parents and pupils. -ART EDUCATION The work along this line and'the objectives of this type of in- struction are set forth by the Art Supervisor, Diss Katherine Carter Gillette, as follows:— - The work in .the art department has followed along toward those 'objectives started by hiss Lamont last year with the addition of construction work and some applied art. - 1, 1 14 . The general objective of the work has been to develop a re- iourceful spirit and a desire to enrich the barrenness of ordinary . surroundings through an enthusiastic use of -a few simple P ci- s In the High School, the work has been divided into two groups, Mechanical Drawing for the boys and Applied Art for the girls: The girls have been studying the underlying rules of art and applying .then to different types of objects. The same laws still bold for the choosing of a Th ble�ediat as for ob,ectihe heree ois the ile- of a ott well -made piece of pery. velopment of a general good taste: It is difficult cultnationacquire otuck an ideal in a short time as it is generally the ng extending over the entire educational years. MUSIC DEPARTMENT The Supervisor of Music, Miss Nellie J Kruger, has submitted the following report regarding her department: The usual work has been carried on during the past year, with crag or two additional phases. In tie primary rooms of two schools, . a rythm, or "toy" orchestra has been started. While still fax from perfection, it has already proved a success. Not only must each performer know how to play his instrument, but he must listen for' Els "tune". These orchestras will prove a -great aid in laying the- E;undation for a "real" orchestra. • • rales, we began having the Last January, also in the primary•g pupils respond to different rhythms. So far as possible, each class has done the same work asthe corresponding grade in the other schools so that when the grades are combined next .year, there will be as little unnecessary adjust n.'ent as possible. There have been several demands for pupils to take part out- - 1e of school at meetings of various societies. While this means extra work, it also strengthensthe self-confidence of the pupils and -gives them opportunity to see the usefulness of music as a social factor which will always be in demand. 15 16n all school. music work, a supervisor is helpless to a large de- gree without the untiring effort of the grade teachers and school officials. At this time, may I thank each one who has helped and who is helping to instruct our girls and boys in the "Universal Lan- guage" - PROGRESS • Progress is a word synonymous with America, and to this pro- . gress the public schools of our country have made fundamental and far-reaching contributions. ; The American free -public school and American - business are partners, each supplementing` and strengthening the other. Edu- cation increases our wahts and raises our standards of living. It _makes safe and congenial business relations possible. It supplies re- search workers and other specialists who help to improve business and its output. The school system in the number of its employees is exceeded by only four of the country's leading industries, namely, agricul- ture, construction, railroads, and .textiles. In the value of its in- - vestment capital it ranks sixth among the industries of the country. The mere presence of a good school in. the. neighborhood increases the value of surrounding properties. . In all fields of life there are striking instances of progress. In. 1902 there were less than two and one-half million telephones in use; in 1929 there were over twenty million. In 1905 ,there were seventy-seven thousand automobiles, (passenger cars) ; in 1929 there were over twenty-three million. In 1911 there were less than a .bil- lion dollars expended for life insurance; in 1928 there were over three billions expended. In 1910 there were less than seven billion dollars savings deposits; in 1930 there were ,twenty-eight and one- half billion. Education reflects the same trend. The average num- ber of days schools were in session has increased from one' hundred forty-four and three -tenths in 1900 to one hundred and seventy-one and five -tenths in 1928. The increase of pupils in high schools has been remarkable. In 1900. there' were slightly over one-half mil- • 16 lion pupils; 'in 1928 there were almost four million. The value of school property has increased, from around one-half billion dollars in 1900 to nearly five and a half billions in 1928. While • no one would say that the • progress, wealth and income of the American people has all been due to the greater effectiveness of our school systems, if only a small fraction, say one-tenth, has` - been due to education, the money spent for r schools has been a most profitable investment. However, few will deny that the schools have been a larger factor in increasing the wealth and income of the peo- ple of the United States, and this is in spite of the fact that even in our most recent years only two and four -tenths per cent of our national income has been spent for . Public schools. Here on the Cape results will be the same. Money invested judiciously in good schools will yield profitable returns. in dollars and cents and in more valuable intangible ways. Although the marine -time industry of Cape' Cod took a down- ward grade after the Civil War and now has practically passed out of existence, the assets of Cape Cod asa healthful and charming' summer resort have been gaining increasing recognition. Since the World War, there has been an unmistakable increase in progress and prosperity because of these natural assets. This means .that a new , era is upon us with a future that is bright and challenging. The growth and betterment of our schools as a part of this future .is un- questioned.' Not as a matter of form but with a -feeling of real appreciation I wish to thank the School Committee and the teaching staff for their cooperation and the town's people for their support in the work of building up our school system.

To the Inhabitants of the Town of Yarmouth; The Board organized with Joshua E. Howes, Chairman, U. Frederick Stobbart, Secretary, and Frank L. Whitehead, Superin- tendent and Collector of Water Rates. The Board first looked into the matter of selecting an engineer- ing firm to guide them in their work and after careful consideration employed Whitman & Howard, Civil Engineers of Boston. Before starting construction wcrk, it was necessary to- locate a satisfactory water supply. Test wells were driven at both the east and west ends of Dennis Pond, in the valley between Railroad Ave- nue and Willow Street and on the east side of Union Street, about 1,000 feet south of Main Street, but the quantity of water available was not sufficient or else the quality was poor at each of these loca- tions. Later test wells were driven on the east side of Union Street about 2,000 feet south of Main Street and a pumping test was run for 7 days and 7 nights and the results indicated that there is plenty of water of an excellent quality at this location. This location is the same as the location referred to in the following letter. The following is a letter from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, approving and recommending this location as a source of supply for the town, both. as to quantity and quality. "To the Board of Water Commissioners Yarmouth, Massachusetts Mr. Joshua E. Howes, Chairman. Gentlemen: In response to your application for advice relative to a pro- posed water supply for the town of Yarmouth to be taken from a group of wells located east of the Yarmouth -South Yarmouth Road, about % mile southwest of Mill Pond in the town of Yar- mouth, the Department of Public Health has caused the locality to • 76 be examined by one of its engineers and has considered the results of a pumping test made by pumping water continuously from six wells from March 14 to 21, 1931. The results of the analyses of samples of water collected daily during the test shoe- that it was soft, clear and colorless, and of excellent quality for drinking and other domestic purposes. , Obser- vations of the height of water in wells near those from which water was pumped during the test taken in connection with the record of the quantity of water pumped indicate that an adequate supply of water can be obtained from the ground in this locality for, the requirements of the town so far as can be foreseen at the present time. In the opinion of the Department, the. source is a favorable one from which to obtain a water supply for the town_ The De- partment recommends that if this source is selected the Town ac- quire an area of land about the wells to.prevent its occupation in any way that would be likely to affect unfavorably the quality of the water. Itis advisable also that provision for acquiring the necessary lands be included in the plans for the proposed works before their construction is begun. • Respectfully, George H. Bigelow, M. D. Commissioner of Public Health." After receiving the above letter, the contracts were awarded npon competitive bids to the lowest responsible bidders. Water mains varying from six inches to twelve inches in di- ameter were laid and gates and hydrants were installed, all as are shown on a correct record plan on file in the Water Department office. House services of %-inch copper tubing were installed except where larger services were required. An elevated tank with a capacity of 200,000 gallons was erected on Strawberry Lane. A concrete tile pumping station was built and made large enough . to provide an office for the Board of Water Commissioners. e t Y7 An electric motor and centrifugal pump were installed and a gaso- line motor and centrifugal pump were added as emergency equip- ment. The pumps each pump at the rate of about 250 gallons per minute. Fourteen wells, 21/2 inches in diameter and about 40 feet deep, were installed and connected to the pumps. The water system is operating very well, is tight and free from leaks. The system has been inspected -by the New England Fire Insurance Exchange and approved. New fire insurance rates have been promulgated which are very much lower and result in sub- stantial savings to the property owners. There have been 77 services installed including the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company. The receipts of the water department have been quite satisfactory and we expect it will be self-supporting as was planned. There were 3,158,700 gallons of water pumped from August 1, 1931, to December 31, 1931.

In other words, we feel that the system as planned and executed has been accomplished in a way that has fulfilled all promises and is at.pres- ent a success and an augury of continued happy results for years to come.

BAKER, Auditor._ 82 REPORT OF THE FISH COMMITTEE To the Votrs heed Annual n ualens of Town the Yarmouth: Meeting I was as a committee At the last .of one to have full supervision over the fisheries of the own and d you placed in my hands for expenditure for the propagation protection of the fisheries the sum of $1500. ately five acres flats In South and West Yarmouth app planted of this have been ploughed and fifty barrels of seed clams grown since that :area. These were planted in April 1931 and have time (during nine months) from one inch in length when planted to between two and three inclIes and more at the. present time, and if protected, that is to say if they are left alone and allowed to propagate during another season, at least fifteen bushels of clams will be produced for every one bushel planted. On the north side of the town due to unsatisfactory conditions, onditas i n viz. the prevalence of the destructive clam worm_ progress planted been delayed. Twenty-five barrels of seed .clams have been p w - ever, but have not done so well as on the south side due to the un- satisfactory conditions. Regarding quahaug seed planted, there is no way of knowing at the present time what has been accomplished as this area is closed and these are planted in water at least three feet in depth at low tide. The area •I am referring to is the closed area in Lewis Bay in which was planted one hundred ten bushels quahaugs. On the north side where forty bushels were planted they are doing well and will produce at least fifteen bushels to every one bushel planted if they are left undisturbed for a time or properly policed. As to the need of police protection will say that I have found it_ necessary to prosecute only two cases in court, although I have on my books sixty-five names of first offenders which I did feelnot 1 justified in prosecuting for the reason that it has been my policy oCy .to teach the value of conservation of the shellfisheries and I have found the public very willing to co-operate. It is very gratifying to 'me to be able to make this report of the -condition of the fisheries of the Town of Yarmouth. The one hun- dred twenty-five barrels of seed shellfish which have been planted Tr - 1 83 if purchased in the open market would have cost $14. per barrel de- livered, and $2. per barrel to plant, and would have cost the total amount of the appropriation for propagation alone, whereas by se- curing the seed in the town and hiring town labor I was able to _extend this amount to cover both the p~opagation and protection work. I regret to state that I was somewhat hampered in my work by the Board of Selectmen who did not grant me the police powers which automatically went with the election of a fish committee. I therefore was obliged to apply to the Division of Fisheries and Game at the State House to secure an appointment as Deputy Fish and Game Warden (without pay) which was immediately granted, and every assistance was given me by the department to help me carry on with the work which I have been doing. Another instance of no co-operation when the Board made it plain to the Supervisor of Marine Fisheries that they were very much dissatisfied with my appointment as fish and game warden. They (Selectmen) then refused to approve my bill for policing, and at the present time there is owing me from the Town of Yarmouth the sum of $237.50 from the appropriation •for my services in this connection which I am obliged to ask for through an article in the Town Meeting Warrant. As a result of my experiences I sincerely recommend to the voters of Yarmouth that the powers of the Selectmen in regard to the town fisheries be revoked and said power be invested in a Fish Committee or Supervisor. Before closing, would recommend that the policy of the past year be continued with whatever financial assistance the town feels able to appropriate in these times of depression, as I truly feel that for every dollar wisely spent for the fisheries the citizens will re- ceive ten dollars in return. In closing, I wish to thank the people of Yarmouth for their co-operation. Very truly yours, WILLIAM H. NEWELL, Yarmouthport,Mfass., Jan. 11, 1932.

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS THE NEW BUILDING The outstanding event of the year is the completion and occu- pancy of our schoolhouse, together with the neighborly joining to- gether of the high school students of Dennis and Yarmouth in the new quarters. While the building is not perfect, any more than any human product is, it makes a fine architectural appearance and provides for carrying on a modern school program.' Cuts showing the floor plans and an exterior view accompany this report. Owing to unforeseen and unprovFded-for extra expenses of con- struction, the amount left available for equipment was less than what was needed. So we have some needs not yet taken care of and we would have had more were it not that thru the generosity of certain friends a part of these needs has been supplied. GIFTS The Parent -Teachers' Association of Yarmouth, promptly after the new building was under construction, voted to undertake to furnish the teachers' room. This they have done in a very attrac- tive manner. They have provided the furniture, rug, draperies, three beautiful pictures for the wall, two electric lamps with shades and also a fern. _Accordingly the room is a joy to the teachers and a credit to the interest and generosity of the Parent -Teachers' Asso- ciation. Mrs. Mabel Simpkins Agassiz had her girlhood home at Sandy - side, Yarmouthport, and always has been interested in the schools 1 6 of her native town. • It is proper to re -call for the benefit of our newer and younger citizens that some years ago she provided manual training facilities for the boys and sewing for the girls in the three villages of the town and for -domestic science at the high school, and for a long time paid one-half of the expense of carrying on the instruction in these practical arts. Her brother, Mr. C. R. Simpkins, put up the attractive little building in the North Side school yard for the carrying on of these classes, doing so in mem- ory of his brother, John Simpkins, who was at one time chairman of the local School Committee, State Senator, and a member of Congress from this district, closing a period of fine public service by his untimely death at. Washington: Continuing this interest. in the practical arts Mrs. Agassiz has presented• us with two first-class • power machines. a universal saw and a band saw. These with the work -benches and. the tools that were her original gifts are serving the new woodworking rooms, and a tablet on a wall of one of these rooms records these gifts as Q- memorial of Mrs. Agassiz to her brother, C. R. Simpkins. • In view of the fact that. 4he new building bears the name "The John Simpkins School" Mrs. Agassiz in the memory of this brother has given the handsome bronze name -tablet which appears over the main front entrance. • Soon after the death of the Congressman, his family presented to the high school a collection of books made up of standard works and a large sized framed portrait of Mr. Simpkins in his memory. These have been brought over to the new library and honoring her brother's memory further Mrs. Agassiz has provided the furniture necessary for a modern high school library. Acting as the agent of her late deceased brother, Mr. C. R. Simpkins, Mrs. Agassiz has also provided equipment for the gym- nasium and has given a tablet to go in the gymnasium inscribed, "In memory of John Simpkins, Equipped by C. R. Simpkins, 1931".- While 931".While the writer was Superintendent of Schools here before Mrs. Agassiz purchased a set of bas-reliefs from Caproni's to'dee- 9 orate the walls of the high school:. These classic examples of art are as valuable to -day as ever and are being used in the new building, particularly'. in the library. This record of generosity deserves, and-_' I am sure will receive, the deep appreciation and the sincere thanks of our people. Mr. Daniel Wing, whom many of the older citizens will remem- ber with much respect and friendliness as a former resident of South Yarmouth, has given a very good upright piano to the schooL He also has presented reference books of value to the library, col- lections of Indian stone implements and arrow heads, geological and mineral specimens helpful in the study of science, some pieces of apparatus of interest in laboratsry work in _physics, a fine pair of deer antlers, and other things of educational interest as specimens and exhibits. Mr. Wing's keen interest and affection for his native town thus manifested, at the ripe age of ninety-two, is pleasing to us all. Mrs. Samuel D. Elmore, whose husband has been a very val- uable member of the Building Committee, has presented two fine large silk flags, one of the United States and the other of Massachu- setts, which are displayed to fine advantage in the assembly hall. The Large moose head which adorned the walls of the old town house and which has been transferred to a position on the wall of the auditorium is a gift of Mr. Elmore.. THE LONGER HIGH SCHOOL DAY With the idea of helping our parents and citizens to have the proper comprehension of the so-called longer high school day, let me say that it does not mean a longer time spent in classroom recita- tion. It means a period beyond the regular daily program of recita- tions in which any one of several activities can be carried on. One of the possible disadvantages of a consolidated school system is that most of the pupils leave for home on the bus immediately at the close of the regular program. With a spare or free period added there is opportunity for practice by the different athletic teams, for 10 rehearsals by choruses, orchestras, or dramatic club, for any group meetings having to do with any student activities outside of the daily lesson routine, and for a chance for students unavoidably absent to carry on snake -up work with the help of a teacher. It gives an extra study period for those who require it and who find conditions for home study difficult. It gives also a period of free play and sports for large groups of pupils after a day at books on a real playground under some guidance and control when such activity and wholesome play is many times impossible after the pupils have scattered to their homes. Many of our pupils once arrived at home have no nearby companions so that the consolidated school becomes not only the center of . their book education but the center of their social and play -life and hence it .should be somewhat longer for this larger purpose. Because of the very short days of the late fall we went back to the shorter school day in November but with the coming of spring there is every good reason•for resuming this longer day for the high school. THE BUDGET Just as it was a task to estimate the cost of carrying on the schools this last year when six school -months were under the old regime •and four under the new, it is somewhat difficult to estimate with great accuracy the costs for 1932 when we have been operating our new plant only four out of the twelve calendar months. For example, we cannot' yet determine closely the yearly consumption of fuel. We have gone through a mild fall with comparatively light consumption of oil. -But we cannot tell what this consumption may be if we have much real cold weather in the months of January, February and March. Again, while less flexible than the fuel con- sumption, the cost of electric light and- power current cannot be as yet closely gauged on a yearly basis. Therefore, we can do only what we tried to do last. year, namely, give. careful study to the different items, allow for uncertainties, and, withal, try earnestly to observe a wise economy. J n( D 0 4 D .D i 4 0 M 44 4 6i C 1 1 12 • The new school building has brought along several features which, while they are now a matter of course in many places, are new here. So in connection with this 'topic treating of finances it may be well to correct any possible misunderstanding by any one, regarding the cafeteria and our athletics.. The school lunch room is entirely .self-supporting so far as the cost of the food, its prepara- tion and serving are concerned. • also interscholastic athletics which can form an interesting, wholesome part of high school life, here as elsewhere, are self -maintaining in large part. This is due to the sale of season tickets to the student. body, to receipts from games and dances, to contributions secured by the alumni and through benefits given for the athletics and to the gifts of a few friends. The amount expended in 1931 by the school department, with the last four months under new conditions, was $41,241.30. Against this as credits are $4,799.24 from tuitions and $2,355.80 from the State, bringing the local taxation cost down to $34,086.26. With an estimated budget. of $53,990. for 1932, the estimated reimbursements are over $11,000. for tuitions and over $3,000. from the State, making an estimated net local taxation cost of $39,990. Of course, it is clear to any one giving the matter the least thought that consolidation increases transportation expense and that to operate in our modern consolidated plant with its greater con- veniences and opportunities will cost substantially more than in our old village schools. .But I venture to predict that our net expenses when a full year is rounded out will not he unusual in comparison with those of other towns offering like advantages to the school children in a centralized school. THE HIGH SCHOOL Mr. Dyke L. Quackenbush, principal of Yarmouth High School, submits his first report as follows: - Preparation of Pupils for Life. "In my opinion, the great objective of the Yarmouth High School is the preparation of pupils for life as good citizens of the United States for its future salva- tion. A school is a business not run for financial profit. Character 13 development is its best product. In preparing pupils for life and college, it is a principle of Yarmouth High School to endeavor to develop individual responsibility through the assignment and recita- tion of lessons, through conduct in the classroom and on the ath- letic field, through prompt and regular attendance at the high school, and through participation in extra -curricular activities, such as dramatics, music, and the major sports. Scholarship and Attendance. Our aim is_ to hold pupils up to such standards of scholarship. and conduct as may react favorably for the pupil when he goes forth into life. High standards of scholarship are being maintained, in order that our pupils may compete with the graduates of other schools upon an equal basis, also that Yarmouth High School may receive this year the one year certificate privilege for college, and eventual- ly the four year privilege of certification, thus becoming an A grade high school. The attendance record thus far has been good and upon a percentage basis compares very well with the larger high schools of New England. The. Improvement of Instruction. To aid instruction, par- ticularly English and History, Mrs. Frothingham, president of the Library Association of South Yarmouth, and her Board have opened the Library Wednesday and Saturday from 2:30 to 5:30 P. ML for pupils. Mrs. Darling of the West Dennis Library has purchased some. United States History books for the pupils attending the high school from Dennis. The teachers of the high school are doing and have done. grad- uate work for professional advancement during the past summers. Of course, the ideal in instruction is never realized; however, the teachers longer in service will compare favorably with those in the city systems with which I have been familiar. The first year teach- ers show fine training in their subjects and are improving profes- sionally as the year advances. I have given to administration work the greater part of my attention, since the school is composed of pupils who originally attended five buildings and each group has 14 had to be integrated from the first grade through the high school. In our teachers' meetings up to the present time, we have discussed routine and classroom management. For the remainder of the year attention to the different phases of instruction will receive more consideration. Extra -Curricular Activities. In training leaders and good citizens, the classroom should have the preference, but character cannot be fully developed unless the physical being of a pupil is considered. Five periods a week of physical education and active 'participation in the three major sports are doing much to produce healthy, happy pupils. The experiences of the gridiron, the basket- ball court, and the baseball diamond supplement the training re- reived in the classroom.. The exercise of physical drill tends to create an- active mind and promote a healthy body. If our student group enjoys both mental and physical growth, its life is bound to be one of advancement, for the lessons learned in .the fine arts and in fair play through the sports will develop the wise use of leisure in any student group. I appreciate the stimulating opportunity given me to meet the challenge of a new. situation. The kindly cooperation of my co- workers and of the community has been a great assistance and en- couragement" _ -- PHYSICAL EDUCATION The supervisor of this work, Mr. Everett L. Whiting, has sub--- matedthe following report: "With the completion of our new school and facilities for ath- letics a new interest has been born in our young people. Child- hood and early adolescence are the periods when development in all parts of the body structures are most prominent. Satisfactory growth during these periods of the child's life depends upon a large amount of interesting and vigorous exercise under careful supervision. .It is also recognized that a healthy, happy, and normal personality de- pends, in a large part, upon wholesome activity during youth. Be - 4 `4 a>®•. a � 11, r Ohl r- -F:.G - • [.I ♦ .4 .. C t a oQ v :i,^r� ... i ley FIRST FLOOR PLAN 16 cause of the tremendous changes which have taken place during the past thirty years, the home life of the greater majority of children cannot begin to give them the needed activity. No longer do boys and girls receive the training which years ago was a natural part of farm and sea -coast home life. It is, therefore, necessary for other agencies, especially the schools, to see that all children have the need- ed space, equipment, and leadership necessary for the growth of a healthy body and a morally clean mind; to establish habits and prin- ciples of living which throughout life will make for higher standards of health, happiness, and service or, as one of our modern educators writes, 'To live most and serve best'.' "With these points in view the Physical Education department has organized a system of intra -mural and inter -scholastic sports and activities. The school year is roughly divided into three div- isions: fall, winter, and spring. The entire fall and spring program will be . out-of-doors; the winter work will be indoors. We feel that with such a wonderful -climate as we have on Cape Cod we should accept the opportunities of conducting all our classes out in the fresh air as much as possible. In all activities it is our plan to get as many interested and participating as time and equipment allow. With our modern plant we will have every child in the school interested and playing in some sport or activity before the year is ended. "Not only are ,we interested in forming strong and healthy bodies but we are building up clean habits and strong characters through good sportsmanship and team play. To give every child a chance for future health and happiness is the aim and purpose of the Physical Education department." Miss Elinor W. Goodspeed, the assistant in charge of this work with the girls, also submits a report as follows: "In the past four months the high school girls have made rapid strides in their outdoor and indoor work in the field of physical education. The outdoor work consisted of field hockey as long as the weather permitted. The indooi work" has consisted of a com- bination of Swedish and Danish gymnastics, games, basket ball and 4 17. volley ball. Since the installation of stall bars a start has been made with corrective work. With a piano in the gymnasium we hope to take up various folk and tap dances. "One of our chief aims is to develop a sense of fair play and sportsmanship among the girls, bearing always in mind the motto, 'Play for Play's Sake.' " THE JOSHUA SEARS PLAYGROUND The Joshua Sears fund is well known to most of our older townspeople. But for the benefit of those who have more lately come here to live it may be said that this fund was given by Joshua Sears, a native of Yarmouth, a few years before the Civil War to establish a school of navigation and kindred sciences. After the war the rapid decline of maritime life on Cape Cod evidently checked the carrying out of the donor's plan. So the years have gone by with this fund not having been applied to any permanent purpose. In cooperation with the nearest living heirs of Joshua Sears, town officials arranged to have this fund devoted to the development of a school playground and athletic field, such field to bear the name of the donor of the fund in harmony with the wishes of heirs. A member of the Building Committee, Mr. Samuel D. Elmore, as an attorney, rendered valuable help in carrying through the proper legal procedure in the probate court to make this application of the fund correct and sound for all time. Very generously Mr. Elmore rendered this service to the town gratis. By means of this fund a comprehensive plan was conceived by the landscape architects, Warren H. Manning Offices Inc. and adopted by the Building Committee. Much of the work necessary for a well-developed school playground and athletic field has been done. The grounds have been cleared and graded, the football and baseball fields leveled, top -soiled and seeded, one tennis court con- structed, a handsome brick memorial wall with gate -way opening out to a flag pole on a mound, landscaped appropriately, has been completed. The landscape architect's plans provide for further de- velopment when the time is ripe. • 4 "' ,i' ere t4 'ESV C L v O �� 1 2 'Yet€' I ,- ' 1 ii tGA i (1) O • vQ u 4 as SECOND FLOOR PLAN • 19 CREDIT WHERE DUE It is very seldom that there is any mention made in school reports concerning the work and responsibilities of school committee members. However, the Massachusetts Teacher, the official organ of the Massachusetts Teachers' Federation, has a part of a column devoted tothe above title appearing in its December issue which should make good reading for both school committees, citizens and teachers. I quote some paragraphs from this article. "Have you stopped to think, lately, how many thousands of men and women there must be who are giving unselfish service as members of school committees throughout the nation? "Membership on a school board means many hours of labor without pay, criticism from dissatisfied fellow -townsmen, participa- tion in uncomfortable situations from time to time, interruption of leisure hours by calls from parents, and other types of sacrifices. "Sometimes the teacher, being a specialist in school work, is over -critical towards school boards. Let us not forget that the average school committee adequately represents the folk who are sending us their children and paying our salaries,—people who are working at the world's tasks and who have as good a knowledge of life in general as we do. Their opinions are entitled to respect, even if not in accord with ideas and theories of professional edu- cationalists. "Let us give credit to the thousands of men and women who are serving on our sehool boards." CONCLUSION In conclusion let me say to you, and through you to onrtowns- people, that as Superintendent of Schools I have but one ambition. That is to serve our children to the very best of my ability. In a few quickly passing years these boys and girls now in school will be where their fathers and mothers are now. They will be the work- ers, the thinkers and voters of the community. Their standards of 20 morals, health, civic responsibility, industry and business will help to make or to mar the future of Yarmouth, of the Commonwealth and these United States. Life is more complex.' more exacting to- day than a generation or two ago. That of the next generation will be still more so. Only the best preparation we can devise and pro- vide for these sons and daughters is sufficient, if our responsibilities to them are to be borne gravely, bravely and wisely. To every one who has aided in bringing into reality the beauti- ful building our young people now enjoy and will continue to en- joy, God willing, for many years to come, heartiest thanks are given. And to those who go forward with us, shoulder to shoulder, in our plans to make the most of this fine school plant and grounds, sincerest appreciation will be extended. Thanking each member of your committee for your ready co- operation and encouragement throughout the year and all of our teachers for their loyal assistance, (particularly during the some- what strenuous days of re -organization this fall) I remain, Yours sincerely, December 31, 1931.

The Selectmen appointed the following citizens to act in con- junction with the School Committee: Mr. Samuel D. Elmore and DIr. Gilbert Studley of South Yarmouth ; Mr. George H. Chase of \\Test Yarmouth; and Mr. Thomas S. Crowell of Yarmouthport. These citizens acting with Miss Hannah A. Knowles, Mr. William A. Marchant, and Mr. Frank L. Baker of the School Committee be- came the School Building Planning Committee. This. Committee made a report to the town meeting in January, 1930, in which a new building was recommended. This report is published in full in the town report for the year ending December 31, 1929. At the annual town meeting on February 11, 1930, it was un- animously voted, acting under Article 27, that there be raised and appropriated the sum of $202,000 for the purpose of acquiring the Hammett lot in South Yarmouth and land adjacent thereto and for . the purpose of constructing a building for school and other mun- icipal purposes thereon and for the original equipping and furnish- ing of same. It was further voted that the Town express its gratitude to Mrs. Agassiz and Mr. C. R. Simpkins for the offer of their generous gift toward the new school fund and to inform them.that the new building would be called The John Simpkins School, and to place the same upon the records of the Town. It was further voted, under Article 28, that the Selectmen 38 . appoint a committee of four to act in conjunction with the School Board as a Building. Committee, with full authority to carry out the pro'risions of the three preceding articles as voted by the Town. The Selectmen appointed on this Committee the same persons who had served on the Planning Committee. A11 accepted appoint- . ment eScept Mr. George H. Chase who was obliged to decline on account of the demands made upon him by his exacting summer .business. Mr. Allen H. Knowles of Yarmouthport was appointed in Mr. Chase's place. At its first meeting the Committee organized with the election of 'William A. Marchant as chairman and the Superintendent of Schools as secretary. The Committee voted unanimously to employ James H. Ritchie and Associates of Boston as architects of the new building. On April 14; the Committee voted to purchase the necessary land for the school site and the play ground. On August 12 the Board -of Selectmen met with the Committee and discussed with them the matter of office accommodations in the new building. Complete specifications having been prepared by the archi- tects and bids invited from representative contractors, the Commit- tee received and opened bids on October 8, 1930. Thirteen bids were submitted. the lowest being for $163,325.. This was from T. L. Cottrell representing A. M. Lundberg of St. Louis, who was award- ed the contract. 31r. Herbert D. Ratter of Yarmouthport, a thoroughly expe- rienced man in construction work, was appointed clerk of the works at the new building with his employment- to continue while the masonry work on the building was in progress. Mr. Rutter render- ed very satisfactory service in this capacity and the Committee records their appreciation. It also notes with regret that he has since passed away. On December 4, 1930, 3Ir. Elmore reported the result of a con- ference with an attorney for -the heirs of Joshua Sears, who had bequeathed to the town the fund known as the Sears Fund, to the 39 effect that if the fund would be allowed to reach the sum of $20.000 the existing heirs would agree to its being applied to the develop- ment of an athletic field to be known as the Joshua Sears Play - Ground. • At its annual meeting February • 10, 1931, the town authorized the Selectmen to petition the probate -:ourt for authority to use the Sears Fund "in the requirement, laying out, construction, upkeep and maintenance of a play ground for athletic purposes contiguous to and in conjunction with its school building to be known as the Joshua Sears Play Ground." It also authorized the setting apart from the Sears Fund the sum of $5,000 as a reserve fund, .the income of which to -be used for the annual maintenance of. the play ground, providing the•conrt authorized such use. The story of this Sears Fund and the progress made with the athletic field was told in the last annual report of the School Com- mittee. The Building Committee, having in mind the memorial. charae- ter of the project, felt that it would be only just to the memory of the donor and courtesy to his heirs to properly and permanently mark the field. Accordingly two suitable tablets have been installed on the main posts of the brick wall bordering the central entrance, one tablet counterbalancing the other. One names the grounds, the other records them as a memorial. As time and conditions permit there is still considerable im- provement necessary before the complete plans of the play ground are realized. But even as things are now the field is of great use- fulness and interest to our young people and it is regarded on all sides as a wonderful possession for any town to hale for its own. The part that Mrs. Mabel Simpkins Agassiz and other friends had in providing certain phases of the equipment of the school was a topic in the last school report, but the Building Committee wishes to record itself officially as highly apl_.reciative of all these gen- erous acts. 40 The new bu.il.ing was opened to the pupils on September 14, 1931. - On November 16, 1931, formal exercises of a dedicatory nature were held in the new auditorium, with Dr. Payson Smith, Commis- sioner of Educati:.n, and the Honorable Charles L. Gifford, 31. C, as the speakers. In the earlier part of the evening the building was open to the public for inspection. The plant has.been constructed within the appropriation. The Building Committee in all its deliberations and acts has sought earnestly to do the best in its power for the town and its children. It has good reason to believe that Yarmouth now has an outstanding schoolhouse and an athletic field which should well serve the town for many years to come. The Committee desires this to be its final report and to be dis- charged from further responsibility. Signed for the School and Municipal Building Committee. WILLIAMI A. MARCHANT, Chairman C. R. STACY, Secretary. December 31, 19332. 41 REPORT OF THE BOARD OF REGISTRARS The Board of Registrars of the Town snbmit- their report for the year 1932.

Bassett, Chairman Yarmouth, Massachusetts Gentlemen: I submit herewith my report of an audit of the accounts of the town of Yarmouth for the period from January 1, 1931 to February 9, 1932, made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 44 of the General Laws. This report is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. Edward H. Fenton, Chief Accountant of this Division. Very truly yours, THEODORE N. WADDELL, TNW-MEF Director of Accounts Mr. Theodore N. Waddell Director of Accounts Department of Corporations and Taxation State House, Boston ---- '- In accordance with your instructions, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Yarmouth_for the period from January 1, 1931 to February 9, 1932, the following report being submitted thereon: The financial transactions of the town, as recorded on .the books of the several departments receiving or disbursing town funds, were examined and checked. r 81 The books and accounts of the accounting officer were examined and checked in detail. The reported receipts were checked with the records in the several departments collecting money for the town and with the treasurer's cash book, while the payments were compared with the selectmen's warrants to the treasurer. The appropriations, as recorded, were compared with the town clerk's records of town meetings and were found to be correctly entered. As the general accounts in the ledger v: ere incomplete, such ac- counts were compiled and written up, the necessary adjustments were made, a trial balance was taken off, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial con- dition of the town as of December 31, 1931. The books and accounts of the late tax collector were examined_ and checked in detail. The taxes and assessments outstanding at the time of the previous examination of the collector's accounts, made as of May 22, 1929, Were audited, and all subsequent comit- ments of taxes and assessments for the levies of 1929 and 1930 and of motor vehicle excise taxes for the years of 1929; 1930, and 1931, were added and reconciled with the assessors' warrants committing the taxes for collection. - A considerable amount of detailed checking was required to prove the late collector's accounts, this procedure consuming addi- tional time and increasing the cost of the audit..__ The collections as recorded on the cash -books were checked to the postings on the several commitment books, the recorded abatements were compared with the assessors' records of abatements granted, the payments to the treasurer were verified by a comparison with the treasurer's books, and the outstanding accounts were listed, proved, - and pre- pared for reeommit-lent to the present collector of taxes. A further verification of the outstanding accounts was obtain- ed 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 outstanding accounts, as listed, are correct. 82 In checking the late collector's accounts, numerous errors and -omissions were noted. A large number of items were found posted to the commitment books which were not entered on the cash books and hence not paid over to the town treasurer; some items on the\ cash books had not been posted to the comnmitmentbooks; and errors' in addition in the several cash books were found, as well as errors in the amounts paid over to the town treasurer. The necessary adjustments and corrections of the late Collec- tor's accounts were made, and a reconciliation of his cash as of February 9, 1932, showed that there is due from his estate the suns of $2,191.07. In addition to this amount, there is also due from the estate the sum of $603.50, representing interest on taxes of 1925 and 1926 and shown in the report of the previous audit dated July 23, 1929. Appended to this report are tables showing a reconciliation of the late collector's cash and summaries of the several tax levies which were committed to liim for collection. The books and accounts of the- collector charged with the tax Ievy of 1931 were examined and checked. The recorded collections we're compared with the payments to the treasurer, the abatements were checked to the assessors' records, and the outstanding accounts were listed and verified. The assessors' records dealing with abatement of taxes were checked in detail. It is recommended that greater care be taken in recording abatements in the- official abatement book, so that a com- plete and accurate record of all abatements granted may be available -at all times. The . books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts were analyzed and compared with the records of the several departments collecting money for the town and with the other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury, while the disbursements. were checked with treasury warrants. The cash book additions were proved and the cash balance on 83 • .February 9, 1932, was verified by a reconciliation with a'statement furnished by the bank of deposit. The savings bank books representing the investment of the trust funds in the custody of the town treasurer were examined The income was proved and the withdrawals were and listed. verified. Appended to this report are tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash as well as the condition and transactions of the trust funds. - In checking approved vouchers, it was noted that payments have been made to the selectmen and to the assessors for traveling expenses to the town hall on official business.. Such charges, unless specifically voted by the town, do not appear to be proper, as they-- tend heytend to increase the officials' compensation as fixed •by the town. The town clerk's record of sporting and dog licenses issued were examined and checked, and the payments to . the State and County, .respectively, were verified with the receipts on file. The records of fees collected by the town clerk were checked, and the payments to the town treasurer were compared with the treasurer's cash book. The selectmnein's records of licenses issued were checked in detail, and the payments to the treasurer were compared with'the treasurer's cash book. In addition to the departments mentioned, the records of the public welfare and of the school .departments, as well as those of the sealer of weights and measures, were checked in detail. The payments to the treasurer were verified by a comparison with the treasurer's books. The surety bonds of the treasurer, of the tax collectors, and of the town clerk were examined and found to be in proper form. For the co-operation, of the several town officials during the progress of the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for - myself, to express appreciation: Respectfully submitted, EDW. I3.

In the present economic depression it is becoming more and more realized that what is needed is wise economy on the part of our Federal, State, and local communities, a well balanced budget, and a satisfactory plan for carrying on by every town and city. Economy should be the watchword. While some uninformed people may consider our Planning Board inactive and not needed, our Board has kept in touch with what has been going on in our town. Mention will be made of only the following matters. 1. The care of our public parks (all in good condition) and improvements of our new School House grounds. 2. The trimming and clearing along our town and wood roads, a fire protection and all needed, and which gives work to some of the unemployment. 3. The spraying and preventive work against the gypsy morn, unusually prevalent the past year. This most important work should be continued thoroughly and in ample season. Our trees are one of the most beautiful assets of the village streets of our town. 4. The new road to be constructed by the Massachusetts De- partment of Public Works, which will continue from Bridge Street in South Yarmouth and run to the north of the present Highway, then connecting with the highway at the western extremity of South Yarmouth. In concluding this brief report, it may be interesting to note that 123 towns and cities in our State, including four Cape towns, to -day have planning boards. More and more, progressive com- munities see the need of wise town planning. As Chairman of the Yarmouth Planning Board, may I express my thanks to those public spirited citizens who are giving their services as members of the Board to a work which I am glad to say our citizens are beginning to understand and appreciate. A11 of which is respectfully submitted. THOMAS C. TEACHER, Chairman. eq 105 - REPORT OF YARMOUTH FIRE DEPARTMENT' Company 1 The Engine Chief of Company 1 submits herewith his report.-:. for the year 1932: , Total number of fires, 28 Dwellings and buildings, 7 Forest and grass, 12 Chimney fires, 3 Auto, 1 Burner, 2.

FREDERICK STOBBART, Yarmouth, Mass., Dec. 31, 1932. Fire Ward._ 106 REPORT OF THE WATER DEPARTMENT The Yarmouth Water Department is now entering upon its third year of operation with many problems of a new system satis- factorily solved; but with several matters of importance to the proper operation of the Water Department still to be worked out. The life of the Water Department as far as a business is con- cerned, depends on the number of so-called water takers. This system as planned, called for an estimated number of takers the first year of 115, the second year 155 and the third year 185. Owing to the unsettled conditions of the times, here as elsewhere, we have only about 100 takers to date. Collections as a whole have been very satisfactory. The Department of Public Health reports indicate that the water supply is adequate and of excellent quality. The Water System is operating very well and is still tight and free from leaks There were 8,165,050 gallons of water pumped from January 1, 1932, to December 31, 1932.

President Hoover "Whatever may be the exigencies, whatever may be the reasons for drastic reductions in appropriations, one thing must not happen. There must be no curtailment of educational facilities. The school systems for the education of our children in every State must be kept up to 100 per cent efficiency. A State can afford to lose time on the construction of a road, a bridge, or a building and by speed- ing up construction at a later time possibly catch up, but education must be continuous. Time lost in preparing our children to take their places in the world cannot be made up. There are only certain years in which the great majority of them can attend school and during that period it is the solemn duty of every State to provide full and complete education."—Alfred E. Smith "One body of our citizenry remains immune from all blame and responsibility in the difficulities with which we are faced and must be held in special guardianship during the period of readjust- ment. I refer to the children Public machinery directed to the protection of childhood, such as public health, welfare agencies, educational systems, should be the last to be affected by measures of economy ... Let us everywhere be on guard against any re- trenchment which 'finches the young."—Walter S. Gifford, Director, The President's Organization on Unemployment Relief. THE JOHN SIAIPKINS SCHOOL I am glad to say that this second school year opened auspicious- ly. The results of the hard work done during the first year of reorganization in the new building by principal and teachers are -plainly shown and we are moving forward surely, even if slowly, in our task of developing a fine school within a fine building. It is a pleasure to record further acts of friendliness to the -schooL •_w 7 A generous townsman interested particularly in boys who show initiative in finding work and faithfully performing it, offered last June a prize of $25. It was for the young man in the junior and senior classes of the high school who wrote the most interesting and satisfying story of how he spent his last summer vacation, what he did with the earnings and how he proposed to spend the• next vacation. The gentleman giving the, prize money prefers to have- his avehis name unmentioned. The human interest of the essays as they reveal initiative, perseverance, industry, and a wise and practical. use of money earned were the main factors held in mind in the- judging hejudging of the contest. Earle Baker was the winner. DIr. Daniel Wing, whose loyalty to the school of his native village was spoken of in our last report, has made other contributions to the library and exhibit cases this past year and we again thank him. The starting of a scholarship fund by Mr. Frank H. Newcomb is noted in the Principal's report. In submitting his second report, Principal Dyke L. Quacken- bush mentions an interesting phase ' of the administration of the school, namely its 5-3-4 organization. It should be understood that this plan is not set up in competition with the well-established 6-3=3 plan, but it is the' result of an adjustment to our own local needs. The Principal's report follows,- - _ "Administration: The John Simpkins School is probably one of the most uniquely organized twelve -graded consolidated schools in the United States, at the present time. It is a school composed of three schools, so integrated as to graduate a uniformly educated product. For instance, speaking in the vernacular of education, it is organized into a 5-3-4 school; namely, the first five grades con- stitute the Elementary School; grades 6-7-8 the Junior High School; and grades 9-10-11-12 the Senior High School. For con- venience, the Junior and Senior High Schools are combined, and we have what is known as a seven year Junior -Senior High School. 8 In this organization all of the teachers instruct in no more than three related subjects, and all of the teaching loads are fairly -equal. Those teachers longer in service function as department heads, namely, English, Mathematics and Science, Foreign Language, History, Commercial Subjects, Practical Arts, and Physical Edu- cation. To overcome the gap experienced by pupils between grades eight and nine, which is caused by the physiological change from the adolescent period to the period of youth, the teachers of the Junior High School instruct from grade six through grade nine. The Aims of the Junior -Senior High School The objectives of this school are Health A fundamental knowledge of the_ human body and how to care for it. Command of the Fundamental Processes An amplification of the work of the first five grades. Citizenship The development of those qualities which will enable an individual to .understand the government of the town, the city, the state, and the nation, and which will enable him to properly function as a unit in those groups. Worthy Use of Leisure The ability to utilize the proper means of enjoyment and the fostering of special avocational interests. Worthy Home Membership The development of those quali- ties which make one a worthy member of a family, and training in household arts and household management. Ethical Character The development of moral character by the teaching of high ideals, truth, courage, justice, and respect for authority. Development of Reasoning Powers The ability to select essen- tials and reject non -essentials and to properly arrange • and co- ordinate one's ideas. - Orientation of Life The setting up of goals and the striving 9 to attain them. Achieving successful relationships with one's fellows. Manual Dexterity An effective co-ordination of brain and muscle. Vocational Training A preparation for life with at least a fundamental training in the chosen. field. Social Cooperation The ability to understand social relation- ships and respond helpfully. Scholarship and Attendance The standard of scholarship has been raised in order that our graduates may compete with the grad- uates of other schools upon an equal basis, also that Yarmouth High School may eventually receive the four year certificate privilege for college, thus becoming an A grade high school. The High School has already received the one year certificate privilege from the New England College Board, and the class of 1932, composed of twenty- three graduates, sent six pupils to institutions of higher learning. Five of the six graduates were certified, thus entering college with- out examination. At the present writing, favorable reports have been received from these colleges where Yarmouth High School graduates are in attendance. A public-spirited citizen of Yarmouth, Mr. Frank Newcomb, has done much to aid the scholarskp of the school. On October 19; 1932, he personally carried through a benefit Dramatic production which started the scholarship fund. The interest from this fund will be used to aid the most deserving pupil graduate of Yarmouth High School in attending college. At this time I wish to personally thank Mr. Newcomb for his fine and lasting work. The attendance at the John Simpkins School has shown marked improvement over last year. This seems to be due to the fact that the pupils are happy in their school life and appreciate the privilege which their parents and the towns of Yarmouth and Dennis have given them. The attendance record which does not exceed five per cent in absences, will compare with any of the large schools of New England. The Improvement of Instruction During the past year, one 10 half of the faculty have done graduate work for professional ad- vancement. Five professional faculty meetings have been held in which each teacher has had an opportunity to. make a report from the professional readings. The beads of department in the Junior - Senior High School have had departmental meetings and \ have formulated specific aims for their departments. Those teachers of the Junior -Senior High School newer in service have observed demonstration teaching by visiting the classes of the teachers older in service. The indications are that standards of instruction will show professional advance over last year. Extra -Curricular Activities The Dramatic Club under the very able instruction of its coach has produced several fine offerings during the past year. A well rounded program of physical activities for both boys and girls is being carried out by the instructors. The orchestra, band, and chorus are showing improvement, and will be used in assemblies as the year advances. Assemblies are to be organized by teacher sponsors and are de- signed to improve character and the school spirit. It is the aim of the administration to have every Junior -Senior High School pupil participate actively in at least one assembly during the year. .At the present writing a Hi -Y Club is being organized. The purpose of this club is to develop leaders through clean sportsman- ship, clean speech, clean scholarship, and clean living. The Cape Cod Older Boys' Conference, which is to be held at the John Simp- kins School in March, 1933, is the special work ahead of the Hi -Y Club. The fine cooperation of my fellow teachers and the community has been a great and stimulating influence in the work of initiating and carrying out the educational policies of the school." HEALTH Nothing in the life of the child, or the adult, is so important as health, except a good character. True as this saying may seem, it is so fundamental that it can stand being kept ever in mind. 11 Through our School Doctor and Nurse, through our emphasis on physical education, our systematic class -room teaching of the laws of health and our modern school hoLsing, we are trying to help our pupils to obtain this very desirable possession—good health. But it must be remembered that the coo-Deration- of parents toward this . aim, as in other objectives of education, is vital to success. Plenty of sleep, a well-balanced, wholesome diet, attention to teeth, throats and eyes are home responsibilities that ought to be faithfully carried out. Dr. A. P. Goff, County Health Officer, also serves Yarmouth as School physician. His report follows: "The schools in general throughout • the County have been on the whole fortunate in the matter of incidence of communicable disease, as- with the exception of a certain number of cases of _ i scarlet fever in certain localities, the Cape has been fairly free from such diseases. "Special effort has been made .during the year in the matter of immunization against diphtheria and in the neighborhood of 2000 children have been treated. Arrangements are being'uiade for continuation of clinics during the coming year. The Vim-Forsbeck Apparatus which the Health Officer is now using very greatly expe- dites this work, as it is now possible to immunize very much more rapidly than was formerly the case. - "The audiometer which was purchased last year has been used in the schools throughout the County and has been found to be very satisfactory. The ,portable dental outfit, as was the case last year, has been used regularly. "It is thought that it may safely be stated that the physical condition of school children tends to improve from year to year as shown by the regular examinations. "The Health Officer wishes to thank all officials and others for the complete cooperation received at all times. The school nurses have been most faithful and efficient in their work." 12 The report of the School Nurse follows: "Our work for 1932 in Yarmouth's Consolidated School has been more concentrated, and as we look back our accomplishments seem • greater than in any other year in our history of health work in the schools. -_ For the firsttime the hearing tests were given with the audio- meter, recently purchased by the County Health Department, and loaned to each school in turn. Two eye clinics have been held at the District Nursing Association's Office in Hyannis and a toxin -an- titoxin clinic for the prevention of diphtheria was hgld at the school in March when thirty-four children were immunized. The Chadwick Clinic (tubercular) visited us in September to x-ray and examine the cases diagnosed by them the preceding year. Our dental clinic was much in demand this year and although we did more work in this line than ever before we look forward to a bigger and better program for 1933.

Cooper, R. N." PHYSICAL EDUCATION Mr. Everett L.• Whiting, who serves the three towns in •our superintendency union, submits his second report as follows: "It is well at this time to try to give a clear conception of the aims and purposes of the Physical Education department. "No one can deny that one great asset in life is good health; therefore our first aim is. to furnish muscular exercise of an all- round character sufficient in quantity, continuity, and vigor to pro- mote a lively tissue metabolism and thereby to insure a marked organic reaction which will promote and maintain a hiecer stan- dard of health. We try in our physical education work to bring about the desired results through the use of various methods of ex- ercise; such as gymnastic work, games, dancing, free hand drills, organized play and marching. - Each of these methods of exercise has a very definite part in the promotion of vigorous stimulation of the organs and muscles of the body. The frequent and regular repetition of such methods of exercise is bound to increase the functional efficiency of all the processes which make for health, vitality and organic vigor, In our health work we reeeive fullest cooperation from the county health department in making examina. tions, corrective work and postural work. - "Another important aim of Physical Education is the training 14 of the subjective motor control which makes for attention, will- power and self-discipline. Such control is shown, on one hand, in the ability to assume and maintain good posture, erect carriage, ease of bearing, grace and economy of ordinary movement; on the other, it leads to general agility, ability to manage one's body to best advantage under any circumstances. "Character building is another vital aim in Physical Educa- tion and has a very real place in our progress. The basis of a well - ordered nervous system rests upon the health of the vital organs; in other words, a well developed mind depends to a great extent upon the development of a strong, wholesome body. Character depends upon the practice of moral habits. If a boy or girl learns good and clean physical habits, his moral habits will keep step and develop along the same lines. The pupils are taught how to control and conduct themselves when working with or playing against another group. They are taught the proper use of their leisure time. "In conclusion I would state that the school practices which train simply eye, ear, tongue, and hand do not promote the health-- of ealth'of the pupils. The active use of big muscles is essential to the health of individuals, also to the development of vocational and recreational, as well as other, skills. The higher levels of the nervous system depend for their health and stability upon the organic de- velopment: of the body. " 'A clean mind in a strong body' is the guiding star in all our work in this department." Miss Elinor W. Goodspeed, who devotes part of her time to the girls in the district, makes her second report as follows: "With a broad program which includes a sport or skill for every girl and every girl for a sport or skill, we find that interest in Physical Education is still soaring high. "We are endeavoring in our work with our girls to attain the aims set forth by the State of California in its statutes: These are: 1. 'To develop organic vigor, provide neuro -muscular training, promote bodily and mental poise, correct postural defects, secure the more advanced forms of .coordination, strength and endurance, • 15 and to Promote such desirable moral and social qualities as apprecia- tion of the value of cooperation, self -subordination and obedience to authority, and higher ideals, courage and wholesome interest in truly recreational activities. 2. 'To promote a hygienic school and home life, secure scientific supervision of .the sanitation of school buildings, playgrounds and athletic fields and the equipment thereof.' "In order to develop strong minds we must build strong bodies with muscular coordination and control; to obtain this we must have good posture. Posture affects the circulation, respiration, digestion and elimination, the vital processes of the human body, and it is closely related to health and personality. Habitually poor posture indicates weakness of muscles and poor coordination of groups of muscles. To obtain good posture in our classes, it is not possible to merely remark, `Stand up straight or you will become round shouldered,' and presto every pupil has an excellent posture. Sad to relate such is .not the case but individuals must be constantly drilled as to the rudiments of good posture, must attempt to correct themselves and their schoolmates. In other words we must create a desire for good posture and the benefits to be derived from it. In defining correct posture we may say it is obtained when parts or segments of the body, namely, the head, neck, chest and abdomen are balanced one upon the other so that the weight is borne mainly by the framework and a minimum of effort and strain is placed upon the muscles and ligaments. "We are not only interested in improving ' posture, creating Proper ideals and habits toward physical activity, but, to establish desirable habits of character, conduct and sportsmanship, developing the proper spirit toward victory and defeat." - ART A new supervisor of this subject of instruction, Mr. Philip D. Adams, began work in September in our three towns. Mr. Adams is a graduate of the four-year degree course at the Massachusetts School of Art and in addition has had several years experience with 16 a weL-known manufacturing concern in this state, being in charge of its advertising display work. Mr_ Adams sets up bis aims as follows: `-The needs for art instruction in the schools of Massachusetts was f... t recognized by the business and industrial leaders. Drawing and &signing enter necessarily into the making of every article prods d for sale. Because the school children of today will be pur* f asers in the future, we are trying to teach them the sound prine pies of good taste. Wise choice for both use and beauty is based ,cn the knowledge of established laws of design, color, and foray These laws are being taught in the grades and high school, not iaa an abstract way, but rather as working principles necessary for die sensible and truly economical selection of all the things that make ',up our life needs. The correlation of drawing with other studies is another ob- jec "The encouragement of special talent along the line of draw- ing and design discovered in aur pupil is another aim." VOCAL MUSIC 3 Beatrice M. Welsh, who serves Yarmouth one day a week as M::s,ervisor, submits the following report: `-It is gratifying to reportgreater interest in their music study this year and rapidly increasing efficiency has resulted. Much atter.on has been given to individual sight singing. Individual singf—c, teaches self-reliance and freedom in thought and action. Any subject taught collectively would be weak in individual effort. A e+_ rye in Musie Appreciation from the listening standpoint bas been started but a suitable Victrola is much needed. The Radio and Tietrola combination would be excellent for use in these lessons in training the ear and taste. "Rhythmic orchestras have been formed in the grades and the chf en are most enthusiastic. The benefits of the rhythmic orches- tra are many. It arouses an interest and cultivates an appreciation of mase in the childby enabling him to take an active part in the 17 creation of real music; it develops in him a sense of rhythm; it familiarizes him with the handling of instruments and it drills him in the practice of following a leader. "Dorothy Gordon, internationally known singer of songs for children says, `Singing helps, no matter how badly you may feel at. the moment, and to start little children in the way they should go along the pathway to self-produ2ed melody is a fine insurance against much of life's unpleasantness. Teach young to sing and you insure them • against unhappy days ahead'. "In closing I wish to thank you, the School Committee and teachers for their cooperation and helpful assistance." INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC In the American public schools interest in instrumental music, in addition to and not as a substitute for Vocal music, has grown by leaps and bounds within 'the last five or six years. Its practice - is educational both in terms of mental exercise and discipline and iu terms of cultural values. It makes a valuable contribution to a satisfactory solution of the wise use of leisure. It often-times is of real help to pupils in earning their way through the higher in- stitutions. In the towns round about us we find the work in this field carried on very promisingly. For dimple, in one of our neighboring towns there are over five hundred pupils, elementary and high, who are learning to play a musical instrument of one kind or another. Work in our own town is described by our instructor, \Ir. Adolfo Querze, who has one day a week in Yarmouth. Consider- ing the amount of time available very encouraging progress has been made and the playing of the Senior and Junior orchestras on several occasions has been very favorably received. Mr. Querze's report is as follows: "Classes were held once a week in groups. Junior and Senior orchestras were organized. These contributgd to the programs 'of- . functions held during the year. Several members participated in the Cape Cod School Symphony Orchestra concerts held in Hyannis, Falmouth, Harwich and Onset. 18 "In order' to improve the orchestra, it is necessary to secure the proper balance by means of added instruments such as viola, cello,- string bass, flute. oboe. bassoon, French -horn, trombone, bari- tone -horn, and bass -horn. The latter instruments would be useful in both orchestra and band. The drums for 'the percussion section were purchased from the receipts of the concert in cooperation with the Dramatic Club. Yet a tympany and chimes are needed. These instruments are not familiar and are rather expensive, but if they were purchased by degrees by interested persons or organizations, we have young people anxious to study them. "The group lessons at school need to be supplemented by more PRACTICE AT HOME to be effective and the cooperation of par- ents in this respect is essentiaL "I aur appreciative of the cooperation already received from parents, teachers, principals and superintendent. "The hope of music today. lies in the successful teaching of it to children in elementary and secondary schools throughout the country. Today there are in the high schools of the United States more than six thousand full symphony orchestras, with all in- struments represented. There are thousands more with only a fey instruments represented. In the future a large proportion of. the American people will be as skilled in music appreciation and in playing as they are now in reading and writing." -MECHANICAL ARTS • If the high school is to be more than a place for preparing for college and more than a place to train for office work, necessary as these objectives are, it must in all fairness provide for the motor - minded pupil as well as the book -minded one. It must offer opportunity for those pupils who are interested in mechanics rather than the classics. It must afford a training that is practical for boys whose life work is most likely to be along the line of skilled trades. (This same reasoning. of course, applies to girls and the domestic arts.) For this group of boys shop work becomes indispensable and fiT ti 19 the following report of the instructor, Mr. Edward M. Webster, de- serves thoughtful reading: "In Mechanic Arts we are giving the boys training that will teach them to be `thinking doers', to learn habits of accuracy, to obtain a feeling of satisfaction from having completed a portion of work satisfactorily and to develop a feeling of personal pride in their work. Students of mechanics may be classed into four groups: those who think without doing; those who do with- out thinking; those that neither think nor do; and those who think and do because of their thinking. We are busy trying to build up --- the last type of student. "In order to work toward this end, we have had to consider our task from various angles of interest, namely, the organization of subject matter, the direction and allotment of time, the closer re- lationship between high and grade schools. and closer relationship of the high school drafting and shop course. This latter point, re- quiring that students make drawings, then from them make pro- jects, should bring home to the students a real applied case, or reason, for clearer representation, for accuracy, for completeness, and for correctness in their work. "Finally we must conduct classes in such a way as to allow for individual differences in the group and take rare of both the quick -thinking individual and the slower -thinking but often-times clever hand -worker. In building our course. we have tried to take . care of the slow chap in a way that would allow him to keep up yet at the same time make the course one that would not prove boresome for the more mentally alert individual. On considering these major problems, we believe that out of the many methods of instruction the Group flan Method is the hest suited to our pupils' needs. This plan considers the power of self -initiative and self-expression on the. part of the student --‘-a point of distinct advantage. It also throws emphasis upon the thought element without resulting in too great a sacrifice of skill or accuracy. "The introduction to the Illinois. State Course of Study on manual training in woodwork summarizes in substance as follows the 20 • objectives of the Group Plan Method of instruction very satisfac- torily. Any• course in woodworking. worthy of a plaee in public school work should meet the following requirements: 1 The interest of the pupils should be aroused and held. • 2 Correct methods of handling tools should be taught so that good technique may be acquired by the pupils. --- 3 Drawing should be studied in its relation to the work done. 4 The principles of construction in wood should 'be taught through observation, illustration, and experience. 5 At least a few problems should be given which involve in- vention or design or both, thereby , stimulating individual initiative on the part of the pupils. "The course is arranged in groups with each group repre- senting a type of work: These groups are given in the order of procedure. The teacher endeavors to provide problems of the greatest value educationally. This means that the things to be made should be worth making and that the process of making them should be interesting to the student. Projects to be made must come to the pupil in an order which gives reasonable consideration to the diffi- culties to be encountered in making them. "Our course outline is made to fit_ very nearly this set of specifications which has been tried and proven to be thoroughly successful. It permits class instruction, preventing needless repe- tition. By grouping a number of projects having similar tool operations, it permits a boy to satisfy his individual needs_without . interfering with the orderly presentation of the subject matter. It provides work for the fast worker of an interesting and profitable nature until the slow worker completes the minimum requirement. It provides for the bcy who soinetimes has to repeat, not because of. poor work in manual training but because of poor work in academic studies, by giving him choice of different models upon which to work. "The question has often been considered, who and how many are getting the benefits -of our mechanic arts course? Last year's 21 - enrollment of boys in the Yarmouth -Dennis schools who were old enough to take this training totaled approximately one hundred nineteen. Of this group there were sixty-four taking mechanic arts. Approximately fifty-three per cent of the eligible boys in school, therefore, took advantage of the course. This year the approximate number of boys eligible to take this course is one hundred forty-three. The total taking mechanic arts is ninety-nine, or about sixty-nine per cent of the boys in school. This record surely shows its appeal to our pupils who are mechanically, rather than scholastically inclined." In closing this report, I am happy to testify to the earnest and cheerful cooperation of all members of the staff and of the School Committee during the year. It is also a pleasure to mention the real interest that our townspeople and our friends in Dennis have shown in the school. We are all grateful for this loyal support. Respectfully yours, Bass .
