Remain at the station, if possible, after giving an alarm, to direct the firemen to the fire. Second alarms will be given only by one of the Engineers. Citizens are earnestly requested to keep themselves informed as to the location of the keys. Signs over each box will give the desired information.

Caution to Persons Holding Station Keys.

Never open or touch the apparatus except in case of fire.

Never sound the alarm for a fire seen at a distance, unless assistance is called for. Be reasonably sure there is a fire before sounding the alarm. Never let the key go out of your possession, except to some responsible person to give an alarm of fire, and be sure the key is returned. If you remove from your house or place of residence, return the key to the Engineers at once. 79th Annual Town Report

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES Appropriation for Copying Town Records

In 1908, Article 54 of the Warrant read: "To see what action the Town will take look- ing to the duplication of the records of its Town Meetings, and to appropriate money for the same." The- action on this was "Voted, That the sum of .$500 be appropriated to be expended under the Directors of the Milton Historical Society, in making a long- hand copy of the records of the Milton Town Meetings, so far as this appropriation will admit." Miss Eleanor P. Martin was engaged for this work, and has completed the copy. This has been bound for its better preservation and is at present amongst the possessions of the Milton Historical Society at the Public

Library. There is a balance remaining after the above work of eleven and 86/100 dollars (-111.86) which should be returned to the Town Treasury, closing the account. It is hoped that it may sometime be possible to have these records, which extend from 1662 to 1840, printed. We ask that this report be accepted and the committee discharged Respectfully submitted, Directors Milton Historical Society, By Nathaniel T. Kidder,

1 January, 1915. Director. MARCH MEETING 135

Voted, That the report of the committee be accepted and placed on file and the committee discharged.

Gymnasium Committee Report

The committee appointed at the last Annual Meeting of the Town to consider the question of a gymnasium on the Brook Road Playground recommends that a gymnasium be erected there, built of brick and steel at a cost of approximately seventy thousand dollars ($70,000), including equipment. Mr. Baxter dissents as to the amount.

FOR the use of the SCHOOLS

Adequate gymnasium facilities should be provided for the use of the High School primarily. There are now over three hundred (300) pupils in the High School, all of whom, unless excused for disability, should be given regular instruction by exercises and games at a gymnasium, or out of doors whenever possible. Such a gymnasium would also be used by the upper classes of the Tucker and Vose schools. The School Committee has unanimously resolved upon moving the High »School to the Vose School building as soon as that building can be properly enlarged. That committee is also unanimously of the opinion that a gymnasium on the Brook Road Playground would meet the needs of the High School in an efficient and satisfactory manner, and that a gymnasium on that location is preferable to a gymnasium attached to the Vose School building.

PLAYGROUND AND GENERAL USES.

Not every citizen realizes that Cunningham Park and Gymnasium are run at no expense to the Town; they serve the east section of the Town. Brook Road Playground stands within easy reach 136 MARCH MEETING

of more of the population than does Cunningham Park. It is ah-eady a natural center for athletic games and sports and may readily be developed into a center for social meetings as well. In spite of the present inadequate buildings, the use of the playground is growing steadily. Two years ago the total enrollment of boys and girls was nearly three hundred (.300) ; this summer the average attendance was one hundred and eight-three (183), while the highest attendance for a single day was six hundred and twenty- five (625). A good many days in summer, owing to extreme heat, and in spring and autumn, owing to rain and mud, the playground cannot be used. To overcome this, and especially to care for the children in winter, a proper building should be built. If the young men and women of the neighborhood are to be attracted there as those at East Milton are to Cunningham Park by the gymnasium and bowling alleys, if boy scouts and kindred organizations are to be provided for, a large

building is necessary. Ample space should be allowed for parents and friends who wish to be present at the games. In our opinion and that of others who have studied the situation for years, a large building ought to be built. The accommodations required for the use of the schools would establish a standard which would amply care for any other uses to which a gymnasium here might be put. The plans of the building which we recommend include eight bowling alleys, a good-sized hall suitable for boy scouts and other organizations; there is other space which can be fitted and equipped to meet needs as they develop, and as a part of the playground outfit it would be of inestimable use with its shower baths, lockers and dressing rooms. The object is to teach boys and girls to work and play with a proper consideration of the general use of the body more than to develop MARCH MEETING 137

large muscles or to break records; and to teach them to work and play with others without jealousy or quarrel- ling; the essence of "team spirit." Special classes can be conducted for grown men or women who want them and corrective work given for those who are suffering from physical deformities of the body. The school or family physician can be consulted in cases of an unusual or acute character when school children require special attention.

BUILDING LARGE ENOUGH FOR TOWN MEETINGS

The main hall has been designed sixty (60) by one hundred (100) feet, a standard size for gymnasium. This will be ample to care for the growth of the schools for some time and to meet the municipal needs of the community. Furthermore, such a hall would be large enough to seat thirteen hundred and fifty (1,350); one thousand (1,000) on the main floor, three hundred and fifty (350) in the galleries. Well lighted, well ventilated, amply supplied with exits, it would answer every need for a large hall to accommodate the Town Meetings for some years to come. The old Town Hall would naturally be retained for all smaller gatherings, and until it ultimately gives way to a new building. When a new Town Hall is built, the gymnasium would be useful for many purposes during its erection. We have had prepared also plans for a gymnasium fifty (50) by eighty (80) feet which could be built for fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) and would supply all present needs excepting the Town Meetings, but would not provide for the future increased use without considerable expense for enlargement; nor would the smaller building provide as good accommodation for dances, lectures or local amusements. As to "the general development of the Brook Road 138 MARCH MEETING

Playground as enlarged by the Hinckley addition," we believe that this will practically be controlled by whether the gymnasium is or is not built. The gymnasium would occupy the high part of the new lot and there would be some level land which might well be used for an extension of the corner of the old lot which is already devoted to the smaller children. The differences in grade suggest coasting or tobogganing, which can be adjusted after the gymnasium question is settled. Some parts of the grounds should be planted to trees to furnish shade in the future and these portions might well be used by the parents or friends of the children actively engaged in the sports. Finally we believe that now is the piroper time to build such a municipal gymnasium:

1. The matter has been considered for several years and has been carefully studied for more than a year;

2. It is a satisfactory solution of a school problem of long standing; 3. It meets a real and growing demand from the parts of the Town not served by the Cunningham Park and Gymnasium; 4. It postpones the large expense for a new Town Hall; 5. The Town can borrow at the present time at a favorable rate;

6. The cost of building is lower this spring by at

least ten per cent than it has been for some time. Respectfully submitted, Nathaniel T. Kidder, Reginald L. Robbins, Jesse B. Baxter, W. Newton Harlow, James S. Russell,

Committee to Consider a Municipal Gymnasium. Milton, 24 February, 1915. MARCH MEETING 139

Voted, That the report of the committee be accepted and placed on file. Voted, That the (printed) report of the Committee on the Revision of Building Laws be accepted and placed on file.

TOWN LANDING COMMITTEE

Milton, Mass., March 9, 1915.

To the Citizens of Milton: Your Town Landing Committee, appointed at the Annual Meeting last March, organized with Mr. Russell as Chairman, Mr. Wigglesworth as Secretary, and begs to report as follows: The Milton Boat Club has again leased the old Police Station, paying a low cash rent but doing a good deal of repair work and helping the committee advance the boating interests of the neighborhood. The retaining wall behind the building has been repaired and the area adjoining it put in order. As anticipated in our report of last year, the Godfrey Coal Company has moved its office building and the shop owned by it, and now leased to C. H. Chute, off the Town Landing. In arranging for new location for these, the Coal Company has met the wishes of your committee in a friendly spirit and placed them so as to interfere with the view of the river as little as possible. The larger question of just what rights, if any, the Godfrey Coal Company has in or over the valuable flats which constitute so large a part of the Town Landing, has not been settled, and it is on account of this that your committee has put an Article in the Warrant sug- gesting a continuance of its activities for another year. The balance from past appropriations, etc., now on 140 MARCH MEETING

Milton, Mass., January 1, 1916.

To the Citizens of Milton:—

On March 6, 1915, the Town voted under Article 46 of the Warrant "to authorize the Moderator to appoint a committee of five citizens to keep in touch with and consider such legislative proceedings as may effect or involve the interests of the Town, and confer as they may think expedient with the Selectmen in regard to the employment of counsel to represent the Town in any such matters." The undersigned were duly appointed as the conmiittee, and organized by the choice of Roger Wolcott as chairman. Owing to the fact that by the time of our appointment many of the committees of the Legislature of 1915 had closed their hearings, the committee found little to do as regards the legislation of 1915. It recommended to the Selectmen that the Town oppose Senate Nos. 561 and 562 of 1915, and by authority of the Board Messrs. Pierce and Wolcott of the committee appeared before the Com- mittee on Ways and Means in opposition to those bills. Senate 561 provided for a further retention by the Conmionwealth of the Corporate Franchise Tax collected from certain public service corporations and at present in part distributed to the cities and towns. It was opposed on the ground that the Commonwealth already had abundant sources of revenue and that the cities and towns should not have their sources of revenue further curtailed. Senate 562 gave the State Tax Commissioner the power to revise any assessment made by a local board of assess- 191 :

192 REPORT OF LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE ors. It was opposed on the ground that in November the people were to vote on a taxation amendment to the Constitution (which has since been ratified), and that any such important amendment of the taxation laws should await either rejection of the Constitutional amendment, or its ratification with the new powers conferred by it. Both the above bills received adverse reports from the Committee on Ways and Means, and both were later de- feated in the Legislature. Owing to the necessity for filing this report before the beginning of the legislative session of 1916, we can say here nothing of our work between that time and the March 1916 Town Meeting, but we shall willingly continue our work until our successors assume their duties unless the Town vote not to continue the committee. We believe that the continuance of an advisory legislative committee may be of great benefit to the Town, but that the Town should guard against possible changes of policy in the middle of a legislative session such as might follow the appointment of a new committee in the month of March. We also feel that it might be well to enlarge its powers so that it shall also keep in touch with the proceedings of the State boards and conmiissions so far as they may affect the interests of the Town. We therefore recommend that if the Town again votes for such a committee its vote should be substantially as follows "To authorize the Moderator to appoint a committee of five citizens to consider such proceedings of the Legis- lature and of State boards and commissions as may affect the interests of the Town, and confer as they may think expedient with the Selectmen in regard to the employment of counsel to represent the Town in any such proceedings; such committee to hold office for the REPORT OF LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE 193 calendar year next following its appointment, to have the power to fill vacancies in its own number, and to report in print to the Town at the Town meeting next following the close of its term of office." Roger Wolcott, Chairman, Guy Andrews Ham, Charles S. Pierce, Robert L. Raymond, G. Frank Kemp. :

SPECIAL REPORT

Milton, Mass., December 14, 1915.

To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: Gentlemen:—The Committee on Motorizing Fire Apparatus, Town of Milton, begs to report as follows: This committee was appointed in March, 1915, to investigate the advisability of motorizing the fire apparatus of the Town and to spend, if so decided, $8,000 therefor. After numerous meetings and systematic investigation of the entire subject it was unanimously decided as follows

1. That the Fire Apparatus should be motorized as rapidly as possible.

2. That the first piece to motorize was the Combi- nation Wagon at the Central Fire Station. 3. That the second piece to motorize was the Ladder Truck at the Central Fire Station. In accordance with the above decisions bids were called for from all the prominent makers of motor fire apparatus. These were gone over carefully and on

August 9 it was decided to purchase a motor combination wagon from the American La France Company at a price of $5,800. Delivery to be made in 120 days.

At a special Town Meeting held on September 1, 1915, $3,800 additional was appropriated for a second piece of apparatus. An order for a motor ladder truck was accordingly given to the La France people on September 10 at a price of $6,000. Delivery to be made in 120 days. The motor combination wagon arrived November 30, 1915. Thorough instruction has, and is being given to 194 SPECIAL REPORT 195 the firemen of the Town in running this machine by the La France people in addition to the instruction given them when they visited the La France Company's plant during the summer. So far the machine has proved satisfactory in every way. In conclusion the committee begs to extend thanks to those who offered their assistance to the committee, and to register most emphatically its belief that all fire apparatus of the Town should be motorized as fast as conditions warrant. It is also the committee's belief that the remaining pieces of apparatus in the Central Fii'e Station should be motorized before those in the various outlying districts. Very respectfully, Maurice A. Duffy, Chairman. J. Harry Holmes, Chief of Department, A. H. Weed, E. B. Hill, Secretary. COMMITTEE REPORT MILTON PUBLIC SCHOOL BUILDINGS

To the School Committee of Milton:

At the last Annual Town Meeting it was Voted: That the committee of five, consisting of three members of the School Committee and two citizens to be appointed by the Moderator, be instructed to prepare plans and estimates for improved High School accommodations at the Vose School building and to make recommendations regarding extending the accommodations in the grade schools as needed; said committee to report to the School Conunittee in writing on or before January 1, 1916. Voted Further to appropriate One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) for the use of this committee. The committee appointed in pursuance of said vote consisted of: Percy E. Sheldon, Reginald L. Robbins, Harris Kennedy, members of School Committee; Joel E. Goldthwait, Malcolm Donald, citizens. On May 24^ 1915, Joel E. Goldthwait resigned and on June 14, 1915, Arthur B. Smith was appointed to fill the vacancy. Report

Your committee, after having carefully investigated all the school buildings in Milton, has devoted much time and thought to the entire school housing problem and has reached very definite conclusions. We feel that the time has come when a systematic plan for the future growth of our schools should be considered and adopted. We realize that all the school buildings with the exception of the Vose, built in 1909, were erected more than twenty (20) years ago. The majority of these buildings have had additions and improvements made from time to time, aggregating in cost only One Hundred and Twenty- 196 COMMITTEE REPORT 197 five Thousand Dollars {$125,000), or approximately Sir Thousand Dollars ($6,000) per year. The addition to the High School made in 1896, cost Sixty-five Thousand Dol- lars ($65,000) and is included in the One Hundred and Tioenty-five Thousand Dollars ($125,000). No additional land has been acquired for the Belcher or Tucker Schools, notwithstanding the fact that the school buildings themselves have doubled in size, and their sites are altogether too small for present needs. Milton will grow as all other places so near Boston are bound to grow, and land will increase in value each year. Desirable school sites are already rapidly dis- appearing. Your committee has considered all these points and feels strongly for reasons of economy alone, now is the time to acquire land in Milton for our future school needs, and now is the time to map out and adopt a definite policy for our entire school system. Moreover, the replacing of our wooden buildings eventually by modern brick structures, should be most seriously considered. The very fact that the Town has for so many years postponed the expense of a general re-building, should be borne in mind while considering the recommendations in our Report.

Your committee is of the unanimous opinion that, however wise the policy of additions from time to time to existing buildings may have been in the past, such a policy from now on would be most unwise.

Safety of the Present School Buildings

Your committee has examined all the school buildings with special reference to the fire hazard, and employed a recognized expert, Mr. F. Elliot Cabot of Milton, Secretary of the Boston Board of Fire Underwriters, to make an investigation and report his findings. 198 COMMITTEE REPORT

He reports that the Milton school buildings are in good condition, and well protected against fire and as safe as buildings constructed of wood can practically be made. He made special comment upon the "good housekeeping" of the janitors—in his opinion the most important factor in the prevention of fire. He made some minor precautionary suggestions which have been, or will be carried out.

His report is filed herewith and will remain in the keeping of the School Committee where it can be studied by any citizen.

Present High School Building

The building is entirely inadequate for present needs and too small to accommodate the present number, to say nothing of allowing for future growth. The manual training department is divided between the present building and the Thacher building, and loss of time and inconvenience is thereby occasioned. The science lecture room and laboratories are even more inadequate and unsatisfactory, being poorly placed and cramped. The so-called gymnasium is on the top floor of the building so that ordinary exercises cannot be conducted without shaking the building to such an extent that the work is limited in scope, and very much interfered with. The High School now has two physical directors, a man and a woman, who are conducting classes as part of the regular course. This work is done under great disadvantages because of the conditions, and the lack of suitable dressing rooms, lockers, etc.

The Assembly Hall, which is badly ventilated, accom- modates only about two-thirds (f) of the school, making it necessary to use the Town Hall at tunes. A new High School should be provided. MILTON PUBLIC SCHOOL BUILDINGS 199

Your committee has concluded that the present High

School building is not adapted, nor is it wise to try to adapt it to a modern High School, which would not only be expensive but unsatisfactory when completed. The present High School building, without extensive changes will make a first-class grade school, and it is advantageous and economical to transfer the grade pupils from the present Vose School to the High School. Your committee therefore recommends that the present High School building be used for the Vose School, and that the Vose School building be enlarged and used for the High School. The present Vose School building was well planned with a view to extensions.

Junior High School

The School Committee, following a policy recently adopted in many parts of the country, has voted to create a Junior High School. This will divide the twelve (12) years of public schooling into

Seven (7) years in the grades. Two (2) years in the Junior High School,

Three (3) years in the Senior High School. Both the Junior High and Senior High are to occupy the proposed building. The pupils of the eighth grade have reached an age where they need laboratory and hand work on a scale which cannot be supplied in the grade schools without undue expense for duplicate equipments, but can be supplied in the High School. The children will become accustomed to the teachers and methods of the Senior High School, thus making the transition from the grades to the High School gradual and natural. The removal of the eighth grades to the neto High School building will relieve the present congestion in the grade 200 MILTON PUBLIC SCHOOL BUILDINGS buildings, and save the immediate necessity of providing additional accommodations at East Milton and Mattapan.

Proposed New High School Building

In September, 1916, there will be four hundred and fifty (450) to five hundred (500) pupils (including both Senior and Junior High Schools) to be accommodated.

It is impossible to estimate with accuracy the annual increase in the number of pupils, but probably it will not be less than thirty-five (35). Although we are now planning for a building normally accommodating six hundred (600), by re-arrangements and the unusual use of the rooms, some seven hundred and fifty (750) pupils could temporarily be accommodated.

The building is so planned that new units can be added in the future at practically no greater expense than if they were built now. The proposed building has an assembly hall, a lunch room and gymnasium, each large enough to accommodate the maximum growth of the school; also inanual training rooms, science laboratories, a printing shop, and proper rooms for sewing, dressmaking, cooking, free-hand and mechanical drawing, bookkeeping and stenography. All these facilities are required by our present High School courses and are those generally provided in well equipped schools.

The gymnasium is connected with the main building by a locker and shower bath wing, and has all sides open to the light and air. It is an integral part of the main building, and its administration is directly under the High School principal, which, in the opinion of your

committee, is essential. milton public school buildings 201

Cost of Proposed High School

The extension of the Vose School calls for an estimated appropriation of One Hundred and Ninety Thousand Dollars ($190,000), of which Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000) is for equipment. The present Vose School was built by Kilham & Hopkins, and they have drawn the plans for the proposed extension. They have had wide experience in planning and building high schools. Among the more recent of these are the following: Salem High School, Haverliill High School, Boston High School of Com- merce and the Dedham High School. Moreover, they were the consulting architects for the new Vocation High School in Syracuse, N. Y. Plans and estimates of the proposed enlargement of the Vose School are filed with this Report, and will remain in the keeping of the School Conmiittee, where they can be studied by any citizen.

High School Land

The proposed High School, which conforms to the lines of the Vose building, extends beyond the present lot and makes necessary the acquisition of more land for this extension and future additions. Fortunately, three and one-half (3^) acres of adjoining land are vacant. The owners of this property were unwilling to give an extended option, but were willing to sell at once for Four Thousand Dollars ($4,000). At our request, Mr. James S. Russell, always interested in the welfare of the Town, bought the land for this price and has given the Town an option good until sixty (60) days after the March meeting, 1916, to purchase the land for Four Thousand Dollars ($4,000), plus interest at the rate of four (4) per cent a year, taxes and legal expenses incurred in the purchase. 202 COMMITTEE REPORT

The price is very reasonable. We strongly recommend the purchase of this land.

Grade Schools

The pupils of the Vose School can be accommodated in the present High School building. Although three hundred (300) High School pupils overcrowd the building, it can readily house three hundred and fifty (350) to four hundred (400) grade pupils. The laboratories and specially equipped rooms of the present High School will be converted into classrooms, and will give ample capacity for this district for the next ten (10) years. At present, the Tucker School in the INIattapan district and the Belcher School in the East Milton district are much crowded. This congestion relieved by the removal of the eighth grade to the Junior High School, will give room for a small future growth in these two districts.

Your covwiittee deems it unwise to recommend further additions to any of our wooden buildings. When new accommodations are required in the Belcher and Tucker districts, brick units should be erected which later on can be added to.

Tucker School Land

In the Mattapan district land must be acquired for a future Tucker School. The present plot is not large enough, and there is no opportunity for expansion except at great expense. By acquiring land adjoining the Brook Road Playground, the Town can secure a central location for a school with all the advantages of a playground free. We recommend that the Town purchase or take by right of eminent domain three (3) acres of the vacant land adjacent to said playground for a new Tucker —

School site. The land is now vacant, but the building operations in the Mattapan district are such that soon little or no suitable vacant land will be available in the neighborhood. The location of this land on Thacher

Street, opposite Kahler Avenue, makes it accessible to the Blue Hills Parkway, and it is very near the old

Tucker School site. Thacher Street, moreover, is not an automobile thoroughfare and is safer for small children. The School Committee should have at once land available for a new Tucker School. When this school is built, the present site can be sold to good advantage.

Belcher School Land

The land on Adams Street—the old school site owned by the Town is centrally located and is large enough not only for a school building, but for school garden areas and ample playgrounds. We recommend that when more school accommodations are needed brick units be built on the Town plot on Adams Street. The present Belcher site, when abandoned, can be sold to good advantage.

The Other Schools

The Wadsworth, Glover, Sumner and Houghton buildings should be adequate for a number of years, as the population in these districts so far has not shown any signs of rapid growth. The Thacher School which had to be opened a few years ago to care for the overflow of the High School, can again be closed.

Committee's Appropriations The Town voted your conmiittee One Thousand Dollars ($1,000). Our expenditures have been as follows: —

Recommendations

Your committee has presented a plan that it believes should be carried out dm-ing the next ten (10) or fifteen (15) years. Our recommendations are

(1) The immediate construction of a new High School and the acquisition of the necessary land.

(2) The use of the present High School building for the Vose School.

(3) The immediate purchase of land adjoining the Brook Road Playground for a new Tucker School.

(4) The use of the land on Adams Street—the old school site—owned by the Town, for a new Belcher School when needed. Respectfully submitted, Percy E. Sheldon, Chairman, Harris Kennedy, Secretary, Reginald L. Robbins, A. B. Smith, Malcolm Donald.

Milton, December 28, 1915.

*This fee of Eight Hundred Dollars ($800) will be credited to the regular six per cent (6%) commission charged when the building is completed. The plans filed are the property of the Town. :

REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE OF SEVEN APPOINTED MARCH, 1915.

The Warrant for the Annual Town Meeting of 1915 contained the following Articles

"Article 7. To see whether the Town will vote that a 'Committee of School Buildings' be appointed by the Moderator to consist of five members, three of whom shall be members of the School Committee, to consider particularly the question of new accommodations for the High School, and to consider the question of safer and better accommodations for the schools in general, said committee to report in writing its recommendations to the next Annual Town Meeting, or earlier in its discretion."

"Article 54. To see if the Town will vote to erect a new Town Hall, substantially in accordance with the plans and specifications prepared by the Special Committee appointed under Article 63, of the Warrant for the Annual

Meeting held March 2, 1914, and to furnish such building; and to appropriate money for the same; and to determine how the money shall be raised."

"Article 55. To see if the Town will vote to appropriate money for the erection and original equipment of a gymnasium to be used for municipal purposes upon a certain parcel of land given to the Town by certain citizens thereof and accepted by the Town at its Annual Meeting in 1914, usually known as the Hinckley 205 : :

206 REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE OF SEVEN

addition to the Brook Road Playground, and determine how the money shall be raised and to

take any other action which is necessary or appropriate in relation thereto."

"Article 56. To see if the Town will appropriate money for the maintenance of a gymnasium upon the Hinckley addition to the Brook Road Playground during the present year."

Under Article 7 the following vote was passed "Voted: That a committee of five, consisting of three members of the School Coimnittee and two citizens to be appointed by the Moderator, be instructed to prepare plans and estimates for improved High School accommodations at the Vose School building, and to make reconmienda- tions regarding extending the accommodations

in the grade schools as needed ; said committee to report to the School Committee in writing

on or before January 1, 1916; Voted, further, that the Town appropriate the sum of $1,000 for the use of this committee."

Under Articles 54, 55 and 56, the Town voted as follows

' ' Voted: That the Committees on the Enlarge- ment of the Town Hall and on a Gymnasium for the Brook Road Playground be continued and, further, that the subject matter of Articles 54, 55 and 56 be referred to a Special Committee of seven citizens, to be appointed by the Mod- erator with instructions to consider the subject matter thereof, the relations of each of these questions to the others, the order of precedence of construction, the financing, cost of main-

. tenance, and other pertinent matters in connec- :

REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE OF SEVEN 207

tion with additional Town Hall and gymnasium facilities, and to report its recommendations to the Town not later than the next annual meeting,

and sooner, if practicable, at a special meeting called for that purpose. The Moderator is requested to appoint the Chairman of the Warrant Committee for the coming year, one member of the School Committee, one member of the Com- mittee on the Enlargement of the Town Hall, and one member of the Committee on Gymnasium as members of said Special Committee, and the

sum of $1,000 is hereby appropriated for the use of said committee."

Under the above vote the Moderator appointed the following committee Robert L. Raymond, Chairman of the Warrant Com- mittee; Reginald L. Robbins of the School Committee; William B. Thurber, of the Committee on the Enlarge- ment of Town Hall; James S. Russell of the Committee on Gymnasium; Charles S." Pierce, Rev. Albert D. Smith, James S. Gallagher. As Mr. Smith declined to serve, the Moderator appointed George M. Anderson in his place. The committee organized by the choice of Mr. Pierce as chairman, and Mr. Robbins as secretary. The committee held several meetings in the spring of 1915, being in consultation at various times with members of the Committee on Enlargement of the Town Hall, members of the Committee on Gymnasium, members of the School Committee, the Superintendent of Schools and Physical Director. We also inspected the gymnasium and the swimming pool at Brookline and the Town Hall at Arlington. Although the Town had, by its vote under .\rticle 7, eliminated our committee from direct 208 REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE OF SEVEN

responsibility in connection with the High School development, nevertheless any action of the School Build- ing Committee must of necessity have an important bearing upon our recommendations. The plan of the School Building Committee did not take definite form until the autumn of 1915. This fact, together with the unstable business conditions existing throughout the

country in 1915, made it unwise in our judgment to file an earlier report.

Our committee has not considered it a part of its duties to approve or disapprove the details of the plans developed by the Conmiittee on the Improvement of Town Hall Facilities, or the Committee on the Brook Road Gymnasium. Both committees have made reports in print to the citizens, and we believe that each committee has studied its problems carefully and has done its work well. The Town Hall Connnittee finds that it would cost a large sum of money to alter and enlarge the present building; that the results would be unsatisfactory, and

the cost entirely disproportionate to the benefit ; and that the wisest way to provide suitable meeting and office facilities is to construct a new building on the site of the present building at an expense of approximately $225,000. The Gymnasium Committee in its report advocated the construction of a gymnasium on the Brook Road Playground at the expense of approximately $50,000. This building would provide a large auditorium and also an opportunity for meeting rooms and bowling alleys. The School Building Committee, with the support of the School Committee, has recommended enlargement of the present Vose School so that it maj' become an adequate High School building, at an expense of approximately $190,000. REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE OF SEVEN 209

Both of these committees beUeve that a gymnasium is a necessary part of the equipment of a modern High

School and that if the needs of the schools alone are to be considered, a gymnasium should be physically attached to the High School building. Their plans provide for a gymnasium so attached and of practically the same size as that suggested for the Brook Road Playground by the Gymnasium Committee. Their plans also include an assembly hall with a present seating capacity of six hundred and with a possible addition of two hundred fifty more seats by the later construction of balconies.

If, therefore, the Town decides to enlarge the Vose School in accordance with the plans which will be presented to it at the March Meeting, there will be a school gymnasium, constructed, however, in such a way that it will be available for the use of citizens outside of school hours. It will not be as conveniently located for many Mattapan people as if erected on the Brook Road Playground, but the additional distance from Mattapan Square will not be such as to make the use of the gymnasium im- practicable for Mattapan people. The High School addition will not provide some of the features contemplated by the Gymnasium Committee, such as m^eeting rooms for social service work, etc., but it will contain bathing facilities which can be used in connection with athletic contests. An expenditure of a sum between $5,000 and $10,000 would permit an excavation of a basement to the proposed gymnasium so that bowling alleys later could be installed. We are not prepared, however, to reconunend that this be done. Your committee believes that if the schools need additional faciUties, such as recommended by the School and School Building Committees, the appropriation for this purpose should have precedence over appropriations for a Town Hall or for development of the Brook Road 210 REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE OF SE^'EN

Playground. We believe also that if sufficient money is appropriated to enlarge the Vose School as planned, the other projects should be postponed. It is not necessary to have one gymnasium at the Vose School lot and another on the Brook Road Playground, and it seems to us unwise at present to enlarge the Town Hall when an assembly hall which may prove to be suitable for Town meetings and other large gatherings is contemplated in so central a location as the Vose School lot. Experience may show that we should erect later, on the Brook Road Playground, more adequate recreation buildings, and also, further facilities will be required for Town offices, but, if the Town adopts the School Committee's recommendations, we should move slowly on both of these other matters, first ascertaining whether or not the school development makes a substantial change in the situation. The Town's valuation in the year 1915 was something over $37,000,000. There is ample margin within the statutory limit of indebtedness for bond issues for a new school, a new Town Hall, and a gymnasium, but we cannot feel that the Town faces any such emergency as to require, or to justify, in one year such increases in its indebtedness. The addition proposed for the Vose School could not be ready for occupation for more than a year, and if the

Town votes to authorize it, we recommend that our committee, together with the Committees on Enlargement of the Town Hall and on Gymnasium, be discharged. If time does not solve the problems with which they have been dealing, it will at least change them, and the Town can consider them in the light of the new conditions. Mr. Russell believes that if the Town approves the plan of the School Building Committee, the basement of the proposed gjannasium should be excavated and bowling alleys installed. He signs the report with this REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE OF SEVEN 211 understanding. ]\Ir. Robbins would like to have the work of excavation done at the present time, but would postpone the construction of alleys.

REPORT OF THE HIGHWAY COMMITTEE TO THE SELECTMEN

Milton, Mass., December 31, 1915. Seledvmn of Milton: Gentlemen:—Last March the Town passed the following vote

Article 10. Voted, That a committee of five be appointed, to consist of one member of the Board of Selectmen, to be chosen by said board,

the Superintendent of Streets ex officio, and three citizens at large to be appointed by the Mod- erator, to consider the question of the highways of the Town including construction, maintenance, system of bookkeeping, and such other matters, including any permanent policies as may

appear to it wise, and to report its findings and recommendations in print, on or before January

1, 1916, to the Selectmen. Such report to be distributed among the citizens of the Town as widely as the Selectmen deem expedient and the cost of such printing to be paid for out of the printing account.

The Selectmen named Mr. Russell to represent them, and Mr. Spates became a member of the committee on

May 1, when made Superintendent of Streets. Messrs. Parsons, Rockwell, and Will were appointed by Mod- erator R. F. Herrick. The cominittee organized by electing Mr. Rockwell Chairman and Mr. Parsons Secretary.

From the above list it will be seen that the Town has 27.588 miles of roadway which in the opinion of the committee should be considered main thoroughfares. Of this 5.241 miles have been rebuilt recently with modern bituminous macadam, leaving 22.347 miles of main thoroughfares which should be put in condition to withstand present-day traffic as soon as possible. The conmiittee recommends that these streets be rebuilt with bituminous macadam on a proper foundation. The average cost of doing this work will probably be in the neighborhood of $12,000 per mile of 18-foot roadway, making a total of about .$268,000. The committee recommends that this work be spread over a period of five years, and that the money needed each year be raised by taxation. By the construction of these main roads as recommended above, the annual cost of maintaimng them will be greatly decreased. Openings for water, sewers, gas, electricity, and other public or private utilities should be made in our public ways with great care, and all resurfacing in connection with such openings should be done by the Street De- partment at the expense of the party or parties making

. the opening. The books of account in the offices of the Selectmen and Superintendent of Streets have been examined and seem well suited for the purposes of current receipts and disbursements. The committee suggests that a street record book be started so that the facts concerning each public way may be readily available. Such a book together with suitable plans and maps should prove increasingly valuable. Respectfully submitted, Charles R. Rockwell, Chairman, Sidney A. Parsons, Secretary, James S. Russell, Henry A. Spates, Duncan F. Will, Com772ittee. —

DEPARTMENT REPORTS

REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN

Milton, Mass., February 4, 1916.

To the Citizens of Milton:

We respectfully submit ovu- report for the year ending December 31, 1915. As provided by Chapter 692 of the Acts of 1913, the financial year of Massachusetts towns ends December 31, so that during the year 1915 our predecessors, Messrs. Jacob A. Turner, Maurice A. Duffy and George R.

Eaton, held office from January 1, 1915, until the Annual Town Meeting in March, while we have been responsible from that time on and shall be for two months of the year ending December 31, 1916. This is not an ideal arrangement but is beyond oiu- power to change. The Annual Town Report is printed and distributed by the Selectmen as provided in Section 2, Chapter 4, of the Revised By-Laws. For many years the Auditors have done most of the work involved in compiling and printing the report, and we take this opportunity of complimenting the present Auditors for the skilful and painstaking maimer in which they have performed this rather arduous task. A large number of the Town's activities are under the control of committees, commissions, trustees and officers elected by you and over whom the Selectmen have slight control or none at all. You will find the reports of these officials in another part of this volume. Two matters out of the ordinary deserve mention at this point. 231 232 selectmen's report

Wadsworth Bequest

During the past year Ellen M. Wadsworth, widow of Edwin D. Wadsworth, died, and the Town of Milton became residuary legatee of the estate. When Captain Wadsworth died in 1901 both his children, Dexter E. Wadsworth and Annie M. Wads- worth, were living, but by their unfortunate and pre- mature deaths before that of their mother, the following clause of the will of their father became operative:

"the same shall go to, and I order and direct my trustee, then acting, to pay over, convey and de- liver the same to, the Town of Milton, aforesaid, for the purpose of establishing and maintaining a Public Hospital wdthin said town, to be under such regulation and board of management as said town may from time to time adopt and estabUsh."

Herbert B. Tucker had succeeded Hiram Tuell as trustee of the estate and from hhn we received the property in December, 1915. It consists of the home- stead on Highland Street and sundry outlying parcels of real estate of a total assessed value of $36,000; together with personal property of about $25,000. We turned it all over to the Town Treasurer, J. Porter Holmes, and he is now taking care of it pending action by the Town at the annual meeting next March. At our request the Town Counsel, Charles S. Pierce, has drawn an article for that meeting to cover the needs of the case. Captain Wadsworth was one of the best known inhabitants of the Town and a descendant from one of its oldest families. His interest in all that pertained to the welfare of Milton was active, constant, and maintained to the very end as shown by the generous provisions of his will. selectmen's report 233

Weston Bequests

Dui-ing the past year William B. Weston, for many years a much respected citizen of Milton, died after making provision in two directions for the benefit of future generations in our Town. Clause 2 of his codicil leaves $6,000 with the Hospital Life Insurance Company to accumulate for one hundred years and then become available under certain conditions for a JNIilton hospital.

Meeting, September 1, 1915, and used for the reconstruc- of Randolph Avenue from Reedsdale Road to Tucker Hill. The details of this work appear in the report of the Superintendent of Streets.

Appointments

A list of the regular appointments which the Select- men make as provided for by the laws of the Common- wealth is printed near the beginning of this volume. The period covered is from the Amiual Town Meeting,

March 6, 1915, to February 4, 1916, the date on which we are writing. The Town is fortunate in having in its employ a number of men both experienced in their work 234 selectmen's report and interested in doing it well, so that reappointments were many. Superintendent of Streets

Henry A. Spates was engaged May 1, 1915, at $2,500 per year. His predecessor, Ivers M. Low, received $1,800. Mr. Spates came to us from Winchester, where he was paid $2,000 and where he served for eighteen years. His record of actual road building there is so good, and the statements made by people well qualified to pass upon both him and his work were such, that we considered the Town fortunate in securing him, and we have not changed our opinion since.

Fire Engineers

We found Messrs. James S. Gallagher, Horatio Gilbert and J. Harry Holmes in office, and Mr. Gilbert not -wish- ing to serve longer, we appointed George L. Bauldry. By his death shortly afterwards the Town has lost a man of high sph-it and with a keen sense of the duties of a citizen and neighbor. His place on the Board of Fire Engineers has been ably filled by Philip S. Dalton. Last March the Town appointed a Special Committee on the Motorization of the Fire Department. Our Mr. Duffy was a member of this committee and you will find its report on another page of this volume. Forest Warden and Local Superintendent for the Suppression of the Gypsy and Brown-Tail Moths

These positions are filled by the Selectmen in January each year and for many years our predecessors have appointed Nathaniel T. Kidder to both, and on each foUow- lowing March the Town has elected him Tree Warden, thus concentrating in his hands the care of our wooded areas and public shade trees. Mv. Kidder asking to be re- selectmen's report 235 lieved, we have named Ralph S. Carpenter to succeed him as Forest Warden and Local Superintendent. Mr. Carpenter serves without salary as Mr. Kidder did. Realizing the difficulties surrounding the whole tree question we have appointed an

Advisory Committee to assist the Forest Warden, Local Superintendent and Tree Warden. On this committee Messrs. W. L. W. Field, Charles M. Rogerson and Marcy L. Sperry have consented to serve. Our action in this matter has been based upon the belief that no one man in the Town has the peculiar qualifications possessed by Mr. Kidder and few, if any, can be found so generous as he in devotion to the Town's welfare.

The Streets of Milton Last March the Town named a Special Committee to consider the needs of our highways. Both oiu- Mr. Russell and Superintendent Spates served on it; the three members at large named by Moderator R. F. Her- rick being: Charles R. Rockwell, Sydney A. Parsons, and Duncan F. Will. You will find its report elsewhere in this volume.

The gist of it is that we must adopt a definite policy and spend more money if we are to get results. Your Selectmen agree to this and recommend an appropriation next March of about .1100,000 for the Highway De- partment instead of the $65,000 or $70,000 which has been appropriated in the recent past. Respectfully subnutted,

James S. Russell, Maurice A. Duffy, George C. Anthony, Selectmen of Milton. REPORT OF THE ASSESSORS OF TAXES FOR THE YEAR 1915

To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:— The Assessors of Taxes of the Town of Milton herewith submit their annual report for the year 1915. The usual routine business was transacted and disposed of in January and February. In March the board for the ensuing year organized as follows: Wm. W. Churchill, chairman; Herbert B. Tucker, secretary, and Wallace C. Tucker, clerk. The Assessors made their annual house to house can- vass in April for the purpose of listing the names of poll tax payers, women voters, gathering information concerning taxible tangible personal property and such other

data as is requu-ed by law. The usual notices calUng upon taxpayers to bring in to the Assessors on or before May 15, 1915, a true list of their polls, real and personal property which is liable to taxation here, was advertised and posted. The tax on real estate and intangible personal property was levied in May, June and July and in September the tax rate of $12.50 per $1,000 was declared. The Assessors met Thursday evenings during October for the purpose of listening to petitioners for abatements on their taxes. Several adjourned meetings were held in November and December and these matters disposed of. The Board also spent the usual time at the State House, searching the records for Massachusetts corporation and bank taxes, which had been wrongfully credited to other towns or cities. All pubUc meetings of the Board of Registrars of 236 :

REPORT OF THE ASSESSORS 237

Voters have been attended by at least one member of the Board of Assessors to assist prospective voters when our help was needed. The Board of Assessors request that an appropriation of $1,000 be given them this year to carry on the work

of this department; this is in excess of about $400 over last year; the extra money is necessary on account of the very unusual amount of extra printing which will have to be done this year and also due to the fact that in the

]:)ast few years our work has so increased and expenses have increased proportionately, our annual appropriations have not been increased sufficiently to keep up the details of our department as we would like to. The Assessors report the population of the Town to be 8,882. Additional statistics are as follows

Total number of horses 561 Total number of cows 650

Total number of neat cattle other than cows . Total number of swine assessed Total number of fowls 2,150 Total value of fowls $2,150 Total number of dogs ...... 518 Total number of dwelling houses 1,760 Total number of acres assessed 6,218.4 The Town received in corporation and bank taxes, $76,497.11

Milton, Mass., January 1, 1916.

To the Citizens of the Town of Milton:— I beg to submit to you my report as Bird Warden for the year 1915. The Statute which authorizes the election of Bird Wardens by the various towns of this Com- monwealth, prescribes no duties, and gives no right or authority to such Bird Wardens to act, or exercise any control within their respective jurisdictions. I find, therefore, that considerable doubt exists as to just what is expected of a Bird Warden, and what line of activity on his part is warranted. As no appropriation was asked for or made by the Town for the purpose of bird protection, no expenses have been incurred, and there are no accounts to be submitted. I have, diu-ing the year, made some study of the general distribution of birds throughout the Town, especially with the idea of determining whether the birds are duninishing or increasing in numbers, and what birds are the most effective in aiding to control the insect pests. On this subject and on the subject of the general protection and encouragement of birds, I have had several conferences with the State Ornithologist, Mr. E. H. Forbush. My observations make me think that during the spring and summer months several useful species of birds were rather less abundant than I have found them, in previous years; there were, however, a few species that seemed quite up to the normal nmnber. These, however, are perhaps not the most useful varieties. 239 240 REPORT OF THE BIRD WARDEN

I have noted with regret that the two species of thrushes which were formerly quite common in ]\Iilton, are becoming rather rare now. These birds are among our best songsters. I beUeve their disappearance is largely at- tributable to the extensive clearing of undergrowth which has been made throughout the Town. At the suggestion of the School Committee I addressed the school children in the seven public schools, on the subject of the value of the birds and the bird-life about us, and the importance of observing the laws forbidding the destruction of the song birds and their nests or eggs. I have also made some effort to urge upon the citizens of Milton the importance of feeding the birds in winter, and furnishing nesting boxes in the spring and summer to take the place of the natural nesting places which have been removed b^^ the tree clearing and cementing which have been done in the Town; also the unportance of pre- serving if possible some tangles of undergrowth and un- cleared swamp land which afford the natural shelter of many valuable species of birds. A beginning has been made this year by an organization called the Brush Hill Bird Club, co-operating with the Trustees of Cunningham Park, toward establishing a Bird Sanctuary near the Convalescent Home, which I hope will prove a useful aid in the protection of bu-ds and in interesting our younger citizens in Ornithology. At the present tmie I am not prepared to suggest that any appropriation for bird-protection or aid is desirable. Respectfully submitted, Ralph E. Forbes, Bird Warden. •

REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF CEMETERY

Milton, Mass., December 31, 1915.

To the Citizens of Milton:— The Trustees make the following report for 1915. They met and appointed Mr. Gannett Chairman, J. Frank Pope Secretary and Treasurer, and T. W. Pond Superintendent.

The Trustees record with sorrow the death, on April 9, 1915, after service on the board for seven years, of their colleague, Henry E. Sheldon. During the year 1915, 98 interments were made; 51 were from out of Town. The Cemetery Trustees have had 21 lots taken by citizens, 1 lot sold to a non-resident, 5 single graves sold, 2 charitable graves used, 9 lots regraded and seeded, 3 perpetual care lots regraded and seeded, 18 lots put under perpetual care, 1 myrtle border planted, 4 graves planted to myrtle and Enghsh ivy, 38 foundations for monuments, 19 foundations for head- stones and markers, 6 markers set without foundations, 19 graves evergreened, 4 removals made, 6 cords of wood sold, 1 family vault for cremated ashes, 51 lots laid out in 1914, 32 were finished. Besides the above work, we have taken care of the avenues and paths. The moths, we are sorry to say, are plentiful. We hope the new Tree Warden will do as well as Mr. Kidder has. We respectfully ask for .$4,500. Samuel Gannett, J. Frank Pope, C. Minot Weld, Thomas K. Cummins, Trustees of Cemetery. Thomas W. Pond, Supt. of Cemetery. 241 ENGINEERS' REPORT

Milton, Mass., January, 1916.

To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:— Gentlemen:—The Board of Engineers submit their report for the year as follows: The Board organized with J. Harry Holmes as Chief and James S. Gallagher as Clerk. Mr. George L. Bauldry was appointed Engineer but died before taking office, and Mr. Philip S. Dalton was appointed in his place. There have been 162 alarms, 53 of which were bell alarms. The department has answered 20 calls to Boston, 6 to Quincy and 3 to Canton. Boston has responded to 11 alarms in Milton. The permanent force remains the same. Two call- men have resigned and two have been appointed. The department has laid 12,300 feet of hose, used 2,922 gallons of chemical and raised 1,002 feet of ladder. Value of property at risk, $87,203; loss, .$21,934.86. Insurance paid, $15,353.48. Permits have been issued as follows: 35 for blasting. 142 for gasolene. 542 for burning. The new motor combination chemical and hose was placed in service November 30, 1915, and stationed in the Combination House at the Centre. It answered 10 calls in the month of December and has given perfect satisfaction. On account of this new piece of apparatus two horses have been disposed of. We recommend the following:

1. Continuing the policy of motorizing the department. 242 engineers' report 243

2. Increase in salary of the permanent men to $1,200.

3. $350 for new hose. 4. $25,500 for care and maintenance of the department for the ensuing year. Respectfully submitted, J. Harry Holmes, Chieff Philip S. Walton, James S. Gallagher, Board of Engineers 244 RECORD OF ALARMS OF FIRE

~~Milton, Mass., January 1, 1916.~~

~~To the Citizens of Milton: The number of cases of contagious diseases reported to the Board of Health for the past three years has been as follows: 1915 1914 1913~~

~~Chicken Pox 27 27 21~~

~~Number of deaths 102 110 101 Rate per thousand 11.5 12.71 12.28~~

During the past year there has been better co-operation by the citizens of the Town in helping maintain the high standards of public health yet the board feels there ; is still much need of careful attention to the details as outlined in the Booklet "Rules and Regulations of the Milton Board of Health" issued each year and also pub- Ushed annually in the Milton Record.

~~' We find from time to time citizens who say ' they never 249 250 REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH~~

heard of any such a book" and the board wishes at this tmie to urge the fact that Milton is steadily becoming more closely settled and the conditions which were possi- bly all right ten years ago are not up to the standards of the present time. Some of the more flagrant causes for this request are: Failure to report a communicable disease at once to the Milton Board of Health by the householder in cases

~~where a physician is not in attendance and it does no~~

~~harm to ask the busy physician if he has reported the case. Failure to call a physician where parent is in doubt~~

concerning the school child who is but slightly ill, yet may be developing some of many contagious diseases and don't send the child to school as it is the unrecognized cases which cause many of our epidemics. Failure to carefully carry out the quarantine regulations in cases of contagion just because your neighbor fails to

do so is no excuse at court. Failure to thoroughly cleanse milk bottles before returning them and guard against the milk remaining in the sun after delivery, as the sooner the milk is placed upon ice after delivery, the healthier the family. Failure to notify the collector of ashes and garbage when householder is to be away for any length of time and upon their return. Failure to provide the regulation covered garbage can

and keep it covered. Failure to realize the dangers of the house fly as regards the cause and spread of disease, and to act accordingly in its extermination. Failure to connect with the sewer as soon as the Sewer Department provides the opportunity. During the past year in order to maintain quarantine in many cases it has been necessary to remove patients to a contagious hospital so that they may have proper REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH 251 care. This increases the expense of the department, but it is an increase unavoidable- as the law requires it. Although the rendering of aid by the Department of Health does not pauperize the recipient, all cases are expected to reimburse the department when able and if unable, to present a sworn statement to that effect. During the past year there has been a more careful inspection of the various milk supplies and more bacterio- logical work done, showing as a rule a general improvement and a desire upon the part of the producer to maintain a high standard. The condition of the Pine Tree Brook should be considered by the Town and the board would urge your definite action toward abating a condition, which to say the least will not improve as the Town becomes more closely settled. Respectfully submitted, Carlton A. Rowe, M.D., Abijah W. Draper, J. S. Smith, Board of Health.

~~Milton, Mass., January 24, 1916.~~

~~To the Board of Health: Gentlemen:—I hereby submit my report for the year ending December 31, 1915. 10 vaults cleaned. 50 cesspools, 120 loads from same. Respectfully yours, John R. Lawrence.~~

~~Milton, Mass., January 28, 1916.~~

To the Board of Health: Gentlemen:—I herewith submit my report for the collection of ashes and garbage. During the eight months 252 REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH on this work I have collected 77 cords of garbage, 738 double loads of ashes and 314 loads of paper. The only radical change was the putting on of a paper wagon, which was more expense and caused trouble in keeping the paper free from the ashes. The work is increasing all the time, there being seventy- one additional houses since May 1. To give satisfactory service necessitated an extra single team one day each week on the garbage and more help on ashes and papers. I would suggest a careful separation of ashes and paper, and, in general, appropriate receptacles for the garbage. Respectfully yours, Samuel G. Craig. REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS

To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: Gentlemen:—I herewith present, as Inspector of Ardmals, the following report for the year ending Decem- ber 31, 1915. I commenced my annual inspection at the usual time but had covered but a small portion of the territory when the Commissioner of Animal Industry stopped all inspection in the State on account of the danger of spreading the Foot and Mouth Disease. In the territory covered I inspected 31 stables where cattle are kept and found them in good sanitary condition, meeting all requirements. I gave a physical examination to 150 cows, 3 bulls, 12 pigs and 6 sheep, which I found free from tuberculosis and other contagious diseases. By order of the Commissioner I examined 18 carloads of cows, coming in from outside the State. These were then quarantined fifteen days, examined again, and being found free from Foot and Mouth Disease, released. I also examined 5 horses that came in from New York State. Also, by order of the Commissioner, quarantined 3 dogs as suspicious rabies cases. Respectfully submitted, James Spencer, Inspector.

~~253 REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF BUILDINGS~~

~~Milton, Mass., January 1, 1916.~~

To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: Gentlemen:—I herewith submit my annual report for the year ending December 31, 1915. There have been 239 applications made and permits issued for building and repairing. I have made 1,360 inspections. There have been 20 buildings examined for permits to move and 14 permits issued.

~~WORK OF THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT BY MONTHXY REPORT REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF MILK~~

~~Milton, Mass., December 31, 1915.~~

To the Board of Health: Gentlemen:—I herewith submit my annual report for the year ending December 31, 1915. There have been 40 licenses issued for the sale of milk and cream; 13 to stores, 27 to wagons. Of these 32 were to residents and 8 to non-residents. I have taken 221 samples of milk and cream for chemical tests, and 399 samples for bac- teriological examinations. It is my judgment, through the experience of the past few years, that the most efficient test of milk lies in the bacteria examination, as this shows the presence and exact nature of foreign substances. I have therefore directed my attention more closely to bacteria tests in order to arrest at the source of supply the impure or unclean milk. I have made the usual visits to barns and dairies which are the sources of the milk supply, and have noted with satisfaction a general improvement in the care and hand- Ung of milk. Respectfully, Wallace C. Tucker, Inspector of Milk. REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF PLUMBING

~~Milton, Mass., January 1, 1916.~~

To the Board of Health: Gentlemen:—I beg to submit the following report for the Department of Inspection of Plumbing for the year ending December 31, 1915: Two hundred and thirty-four (234) permits to perform plumbing have been issued from this office, the approxi- mate valuation of work installed being sixty-four thousand one hundred and sixty-one dollars ($64,161), an increase of more than sixteen thousand dollars (.$16,000) over last year. One hundred eleven (111) buildings have been connected or are in process of connection with the Town sewers. This large reduction in the number of cesspools

in the Town is very gratifying as the unpleasant conditions produced by their use are frequently evident. Particular benefit has been derived from the new low- level sewer in the Church Street district. I am unable to report results of the new By-Laws requiring safety valves on pressure boilers, no case of trouble having come to my notice. Respectfully submitted, Lorenzo E. Young, Inspector of Plumhing.

~~256 REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF SLAUGHTERING~~

~~Milton, Mass., December 31, 1915.~~

To the Board of Health: Gentlemen:—As Inspector of Slaughtering I report that for the year endmg December 31, 1915, I have examined and stamped 78 carcasses—60 hogs, 17 lambs, 1 calf. Respectfully, Wallace C. Tucker, Inspector of Slaughtering.

~~257 REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF WIRES~~

~~Milton, Mass., January 22, 1916.~~

To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:— Gentlemen:—I herewith present the report of the Department of Wires for the year ending December 31, 1915. INTERIOR WIRING 1914 REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF WIRES 259 for Town wires, I recommend that the overhead Town wires be installed underground. 800 feet of two conductor lead cable have been installed in underground conduit on Brush Hill Road. Considerable new work and repairing have been done on Police and Fu-e Alarm System in past year, including putting on new cross arms, running new covered iron wires, and trimming limbs back from wires.

The Ford Automobile used by this department is now in need of a general overhauling and painting. As the price for overhauling and painting is very near the amount allowed in trade for new car, I would recommend that a new car be bought. For the maintenance of Wire Department installing wires underground, and trade old automobile for new car, I recommend an appropriation of two thousand two hundred and fourteen dollars ($2,214.) Respectfully submitted, Ernest E. Choate, Inspector of Wires. REPORT OF THE PARK COMMISSIONERS

~~Milton, Mass., December 31, 1915.~~

To the Citizens of the Town of Milton: The most important feature of the Park Commission's work is the conduct of Brook Road Playground. The attendance here is always on the increase. Yet we realize that the grounds have not been developed to their fullest capacity. This is bound to continue to be the case while the question of meeting the need of gymnasium facilities remains unsettled. At present the Director at the playground and his assistant are engaged by the Park Conmiission, and their entire salaries are paid out of its appropriation, though they act as Directors of Physical Education in the PubUc Schools during the whole of the term. When this system was adopted there seemed to be a reasonable chance that a gymnasium would be built on the playground which should meet the requirements of the playgrounds, schools, and the general public in matters of physical instruction, and be available as a Civic Center for all forms of entertaimnent as well. Your Park Com- missioners are at present awaiting the decision of several committees engaged in the consideration of this and all related subjects. During this period of waiting we believe that the present alliance between the Park Commission and the School Department had better be continued. The future may make some other plan seem more desirable, but there is surely no reason for changing at present, even though the tendency seems to be towards gymnasia attached to the schools. 260 REPORT OF THE PARK COMMISSIONERS 261

The report of the Physical Instructor, which should be considered as a part of the Commissioners' report, is appended hereto. Some slight interruption at the Playground was caused by Miss Amy R. Rowland's leaving the work in July, but this was reduced to a minimum, as we were able to supply her place very promptly. Miss Rosamond W. Estabrook, who had already worked on this playground, and so took hold with spirit, succeeded Miss Howland. When Miss Estabrook left in August, the position was temporarily filled by Miss Ella Constable. On September

5, Miss Louise A. Whiting took over the direction of the girls, under Mr. Hall, and she is continuing with this in the schools most acceptably and successfully. The loam taken out where the tennis courts were built has been spread on the surface of the north diamond which is thereby somewhat improved. The courts have been resurfaced with clay, but we feel that both of these improvements are only temporary and that something more permanent must be done in the near future. We made some inquiries regarding methods and expense of supplying skating for small children by spraying the frozen ground, but what we heard of the expense discouraged us. Two pieces of steel apparatus have been bought, one providing several swings and the other several teeters, but they came too late in the season for this year's use, and will be installed in the spring. The lower end of the lot was used by the School De- partment for school gardens, and an agreement has been entered into to continue such use by them for another year. The appropriation made to be expended jointly by the Park Commission and School Committee towards the improvement of school lots, remains almost intact. This, 262 REPORT OF THE PARK COMMISSIONERS however, does not mean that it could not be advanta- geously expended another year. Holhngsworth Field and East Milton Playground have again passed a year without special work. The Street Department has taken 865 double loads of gravel and sand from the latter for use on the roads. The grading of Crane Field, begun during the previous year, was finished. The planting done here was not a success; probably the newly graded surface should be resown to grass. The sugar maples planted around the edges of the field, though very handsome trees above ground, had very poor roots, and the trees are mostly dead. The nursery supplying these has agreed to furnish the Town new trees in the spring without charge. At Dollar Lane Playground the drain pipes which cross the ground have given some little trouble by getting stopped up. The chief trouble here is that the brook, if it is worthy of that name, brings down to us a great deal of vegetable refuse, and that its course below the playground fills up with silt. The old dump here remains an eyesore, and we feel that an appropriation should be made to improve its appearance. Our recommendations are: General Appropriation $3,500 Dollar Lane Playground 200

Milton, Mass., December 31, 1915. Park Conmiission, Town of Milton, Mass.: I hereby respectfully submit report of the Playground Work for the season of 1915. Activities commenced on the Brook Road Playground early in the spring with four afternoon sessions weekly, and with baseball games Saturday mornings between teams of the Grammar School League. The regular playground work began June 21 and closed September 11, and was conducted along the same lines as last year's work with the exception of such changes and improvements as experience has proved desirable. Carefully kept records of the daily attendance show an increase in attendance of 10.7 per cent, so that the average attendance this year, in spite of a rainy season, reached the figure of 203 a day. The i"egular daily schedule has been followed whenever possible, including all the recognized forms of playground activities that, in the opinion of your Director, tend to promote the results for which this department stands. Baseball teams for both boys and girls, and track teams for boys in two different classes were formed. Tennis has maintained its prominent place among activities. The courts have been engaged by 1,332 different parties during the season, a figure that com- pares well with 616 last year. A feature that, in your Director's opinion, more than anything else has helped to promote interest and spirit in the young, has been the inter-playground visits with contests in games and athletics. The way in which our young athletes have acquitted themselves in contests as well as conduct has been decidedly to the credit of the community. The annual Visitors' Day was held on August 31. This red letter day in the playground history of Milton 264 REPORT OF THE PARK COMMISSIONERS

opened with a tennis tournament in the morning; valuable prizes consisting of silver cups for doubles as well as singles had been donated by a generous-hearted citizen. The spirit shown by the contestants as well as spectators in this tournament was simply a manifestation

of the interest the public is taking in this healthful and enjoyable line of sport. The children's part in the day's program coirmaenced at 2 P.M., and gave parents and friends an idea of the summer's work both physically and industrially. The manner in which the different events were presented with their vim and joy, the unusually large attendance of interested citizens, parents and friends as well as those present in an official capacity, made this day the happiest and most important one in our playground history. Another generous citizen has donated the means for suitable prizes awarded to the children for attendance, loyalty to the playground, for the best physical development, and for raffia and reed work. A small band furnished the music for the drills and folk dances. From the beginning of the school season, on September 20 until November 19, the playground has been open four afternoons weekly for the use of High School pupils, two afternoons for boys and two for girls. In addition to the regular activities, such as track athletics and recreative games, a considerable number of the girls have taken a great interest in field hockey. The high ideals for which this department stands have in the opinion of your Director, been even more nearly attained this year than last. If commendation were to be given any particular branch, then it probably should be given to the moral standard and good conduct of our children as well as older people who have enjoyed the Brook Road Playground. Your Director and his assistant feel that especially to REPORT OF THE PARK COMMISSIONERS 265 our older boys and girls a word of praise is due for the good example they have set for the smaller to follow. For another season I beg to make the following recommendations :

1. The grading and filling of the two baseball dia- monds. 2. The grading of the slope, with installation of settees on spectators' side in the tennis courts. 3. Installation of a bubble fountain in tennis courts. 4. A good surface of the courts. It is with a feeling of gratitude and satisfaction that your Director, in concluding his second annual report, is able to give such figures and facts of encouragement. With the present indications we seem to-day nearer than at any time before to our high ambition of making this department second to none in the country. To-day we know we are advancing, and with continued high ambitions, continued co-operation and support, this ambition wUl very soon become a realization. Respectfully submitted, Carl S. Hall, Director of Playgrounds and Physical Education. POLICE DEPARTMENT

~~CHANGES During the year Patrolman Edward R. Chamberlain resigned and John B. Shields was appointed a patrolman~~

~~under Civil Service rules to fill the vacancy.~~

~~THE FORCE~~

The members of the force, as a rule, have shown a dis- position to conform to all requests made of them and have displayed promptness and energy in the discharge of their duties, and I am thankful to them for the work they have done. CRIME

During the year several houses were bm-glarized and considerable property stolen, which naturally caused much fear to possess the public mind. I have made every effort to recover the property but as yet have been unable to do so. Other cities and towns have all suffered the same and cannot find their property.

~~AUTOMOBILE SERVICE~~

The automobile ambulance and patrol has responded to forty-one calls to different hospitals in Boston. Have had it all overhauled and varnished and it is now in A-1 condition. The Stanley steam automobile owned by the department is in very bad condition and is not worth repair as it would cost more to keep it up than it is worth to the Town. I would recommend exchanging it for a new one. TRAFFIC ON STREETS

The marked increase of automobile traffic through our principal streets, particularly on Adams Street at East Milton, compelled the detailing one patrolman at and near railroad crossing all the time and have had to detail REPORT OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT 269 some of the night patrolmen to help out. I recommend the appointment of one additional patrolman in order to help control the traffic and cover the route in that locaUty. CONCLUSION

I desire at this time to thank the Honorable Board of Selectmen for your courtesy, advice and consideration in all matters pertaining to the welfare of the Police De- partment. My thanks are due Judge Albert E. Avery of the District Court for valuable advice and assistance, and Lawrence W. Lyons, Clerk of the Court; to all members of the Police Department for their fidehty; and to all others who have aided this department by their co-operation. Respectfully, Maurice Pierce, Superintendent of Police. REPORT OF OVERSEERS OF THE POOR

~~Milton, Mass., December 31, 1915.~~

To the Citizens of the Town of Milton: The Board of Overseers of the Poor present theu- re- port with the usual statistics for the year 1915. The personnel of the Board, and its organization, have continued the same as last year, and the same appointees have continued satisfactorily in charge as for several years past. The number of persons and families requiring aid, also the total cost of such aid, has materially increased over recent years, as a study and comparison of the statistical report will show. Aside from this there is Uttle to distinguish the year from previous ones, the same general methods and policies being continued as heretofore. During the year a card catalog has been arranged, which contains in brief form the history of every case aided since March of 1904, when the Overseers of the Poor were first made a separate Board in Milton. The Board is pleased to report that electric lighting has been substituted at the Town Farm buildings in place of the kerosene lamps hitherto used there, which

~~REPORT OF OVERSEERS OF THE POOR 277~~

The question constantly confronting the Board, as to whether or not the Town Farm should be abandoned as a home for the indoor poor, has been carefully considered year by year, and was mentioned in the report of 1912. This year the weekly cost for each imnate is more than

~~ten dollars. It is simply a question whether or not there will be enough inmates to warrant the maintenance of a home especially for them.~~

By referring to the charts on preceding pages it will be readily seen that, when the number of inmates de- creases, the cost per capita increases, and vice versa; also that the annual amount of expenditure at the Town Farm has not varied greatly in twelve years, and does not show the increase which would be expected in view of the increased cost of everything for household use during that period. The Board does not believe that the time has yet come when the Town would gain by closing its ahns- hou.se. An appropriation of seven thousand (7,000) dollars, together with receipts from sales at Town Farm, and reimbursements for aid rendered, is recommended. Respectfullj' submitted, Arthur H. Tucker, Chairman, Walter D. Brooks, Secretary, Horace N. Plummer, Albert D. Smith, Caroline E. Williams. REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE MILTON PUBLIC LIBRARY FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1915.

Milton, Mass., January 15, 1916. To the Citizens of the Town of Milton, Mass. The Board of Trustees of the Milton Public Library have the honor to present to you the annual report of the Librarian prepared for them, and to preface that report with a few words of their own. A careful consideration of the report of the Librarian will show that the Library has continued and somewhat increased its usefulness to the Town during the year 1915. Changes from time to time in the staff, occasioned by illness or by the acceptance of more lucrative positions elsewhere have made the work of the Librarian peculiarly difficult, but the difficulties have been sur- mounted and the public has not been made aware of them through any lessening of the efficiency of the service. The staff is now well-established again in numbers and ability and the Trustees confidently expect to maintain it during the coming year at its present satisfactory state of efficiency. The work of the Trustees is divided up among them, as individuals and as committees, the purpose being to give to each Trustee, so far as possible, some individual responsibility for the welfare of the Library. In addition to the offices of chairman, treasurer and secretary, there are two committees which bear the brunt of the work, the executive committee and the book conunittee. The executive committee has such charge of the Library as its name implies and has frequent meetings during the year when matters of importance are discussed and in 278 PUBLIC LIBRARY 279

many instances ate submitted to the full board for action. The book committee meets the third Tuesday morning in every month except during the summer. At these meetings new books are carefully considered and with the aid of the Librarian a choice is made, determined by the needs of the Library and by the money available

for the purchase of books. The committee is often ham- pered for lack of funds and many books are not purchased because the Library cannot afford them. But in this respect the Milton Library is not far different from other libraries. The Library Building which was opened in 1904 has had very little done to it in the eleven years that it has been in use. The need of repairs and of a general reno- vation is urgent. A longer delay in this important matter would be most unfortunate. The report of the Librarian mentions the many gifts the Library has received during the year for which the Trustees wish to express their great appreciation. The remembrance of the Library by the citizens of the Town is always a great source of satisfaction.

Among the most notable gifts is the completion of a collection of etchings given fii'st anonymously in 1912, but now known to be from the late James Henry Whit- man. The entire gift comprises about two hundred prints which makes a most valuable collection. Other notable gifts were a framed engraving by White- church, of the United States Senate of 1850, from the estate of James Tucker; The Catholic Encyclopaedia, in 16 volumes, from the Dorchester Lower Mills Council No. 180, of the Knights of Columbus; also several hundred volumes, to be shared by the Public Library and the Milton Historical Society, from the estate of Mrs. William H. Snyder. By the will of the late Miss Ellen Channing of Milton 280 PUBLIC LIBRARY the Library is made one of her residuary legatees. While the amount of this legacy is still uncertain and the time of its payment likely to be deferred, the Trustees appreciate Miss Channing's remembrance and they hope it will stimulate other citizens to a similar generosity. Respectfully submitted, Nathaniel T. Kidder, Chairman Charles E. Rogerson, Treasurer Roderick Stebbins, Secretary Orrin a. Andrews Frank E. Lane Robert Saltonstall Frederic M. Stone Arthur H. Tucker Harry K. White Trustees of the Milton Public Library. REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN

~~Milton, Mass., January 1, 1916.~~

To the Trustees of the Milton Public Library: I have the honor to submit my report for the year ending December 31, 1915. During the past year, the Library has gone steadily on in the work which it is trying to accomplish. With three new assistants, out of a staff of five at the main Library, it has not always been easy to keep up to old standards. That such standards have been maintained, is due not only to the excellent work of Miss Allen as head of the staff, but also to the enthusiasm of the new assistants. Miss Snow, who took charge of the Children's department on September 13, has experimented with story hours at the Branches as well as at the Central Library. She finds an eager group of children waiting for her, wherever she goes. Such remarks as : "Do you suppose she will forget to come?"; "Do you think she will be here on this car?" are often overheard and from the beginning, the story hours have been a great success. They have been held once a week at East Milton, at

Mattapan, and at the Central Library; later it is planned to include Russell Reading Room. The progress of the story hour is best told by quoting from Miss Snow's report to the Librarian. "The first story hour for children under ten was held on Saturday morning, November 13, at 10 o'clock, in the Historical room of the Central Library. The attendance was necessarily small, as the children were given a word of mouth notice only three days before. Since the first meeting the numbers have gradually increased, and in time we 281 282 PUBLIC LIBRARY hope to have as large a group as at the East Milton and Mattapan Branches. We have the largest representation of the various families from the Mattapan district, where the average weekly attendance has been thirty. The children are of all ages, from five to eleven, and the tjTJe of stories which I have selected has apparently interested the old and young alike. As yet I have had no disciplining to do. Probably as the novelty of the story hour wears off, the numbers will dwindle and the enthusiasm become less keen. But judging from the rash promises of several 'to come every week,' I am led to hope for as large an attendance in the future. The attendance of the story hour in East Milton has averaged fifteen each week, and these children are equally interested. There is an even greater divergence in ages here in comparison with those of Mattapan, but in spite of this there is no lagging of interest. With the story hour as a tool, we hope to inculcate and increase a desire for reading, and especially reading of the right sort. Whether or not this will prove an effectual means, yet remains to be seen. But considering the juvenile circulation during the month of November and particularly on the days of the story hour, I feel that it is at least in part fulfilling its mission. The number of books issued on these days has taken a sudden leap, not only at Cen- tral Library, but also at Mattapan and East Milton. But as yet the work is only begun and an infinite amount still remains to be done to maintain the interest of the children." As Miss Snow says, story hours are good for the children not only for the immediate pleasure which they give, but even more for the reading which they lead up to. A child invariably wants to know more about the hero or heroine of a favorite story. Although spasmodic attempts at story telling have been made before, this PUBLIC LIBRARY 283

~~is the first time that it has been possible to make story teUing a part of the regular work with children. Measles~~

and weather permitting, it will be continued through the winter! A very important part of the work of the Children's librarian is the reading of the new books. No book is put into the Children's room without first being read; moreover the average best seller, or the wishy washy

~~series is not encouraged.~~

~~It is not always easy for a grown up to tell just what will appeal to the child; to successfully guide the child's reading; to keep from him the cheap and commonplace,~~

requires a wise discriinination, which, like Topsy, is "born" not made. This year a special effort was made to attract people to the Christmas exhibit of books for boys and girls, which was held in the Children's room from November 28 to December 24. Some time ago, the Library Commission of the Boy Scouts proposed to the retail book trade that the first week of December should be set apart as Juvenile Book Week. Booksellers, librarians, women's clubs and other organizations were asked to co-operate and to use their influence to bring to the attention of the public the need of better books for children. This Library gladly took its part in the movement; a list of suggested books for children was printed in the bulletin for December, and other lists were mailed and distributed as widely as possible. Through the courtesy of Mr. Marden, space in the Milton Record was given for several notices, the most prominent one being "The Contributor"—"Juvenile Book Week"—in the issue of November 20. It is dis- appointing to have to record that notwithstanding these efforts, comparatively few fathers and mothers responded. 284 PUBLIC LIBRARY

The number of books circulated from the Children's room has been 12,919, against 12,516 in 1914, a gain of 403. 2,853 books have been sent to the schools, a gain of 325 over last year. The number sent to the separate schools has been as follows: Belcher, 992; Glover, 292; High, 65; Hough- ton, 317; Sumner, 496; Tucker, 461; Vose, 37, and Wadsworth, 193; total, 2,853. The High and Vose, being so near the main Library, have naturally needed fewer books on deposit, while the Tucker School has drawn considerably from the Mattapan Branch. Miss Allen has continued her talks on the use of the Library, to the freshman class of the High School. During the three weeks from October 13 to November 5, she gave eighteen such talks to eighty-seven pupils. The classes were purposely scheduled as early in the school year as possible, so that the students should have the benefit of such instruction at the beginning of their High School course.

Credit for this work is given by the High School, and Mr. Curtis has been generous in his appreciation of the efforts of the Library to teach pupils an intelligent use of a library's resom-ces, in connection with their school work. At the East Milton Branch, Miss Babcock reports a gain in circulation of 317 over 1914, or a total of 19,024. It is a curious coincidence that up to the first of December, there had been a gain in the adult cii'culation of 211, and a gain of 211 from the juvenile collection. The attendance has been 16,281, against 16,163 in 1914. Miss Hills in making her report of Mattapan Branch says that the use of the Branch by adults is on the increase. The attendance for the year has been 16,991, of which 5,700 was adult and 11,291 juvenile, against 4,737 adult and 13,830 juvenile in 1914. PUBLIC LIBRARY 285

The circulation has been 16,675, a gain of 391 over 1914. It is a significant fact that the gain in circulation has been entirely in adult books, whereas the circulation of juvenile books has dropped 481 behind last year. Miss Kennedy, in her report to the Librarian, says "The report for Russell Reading Room written Decem- ber, 1914, would answer very well indeed for the present date. Its small public has changed little, and if no decided increase in use has taken place, there has been but slight loss." The circulation has been 2,800, against 2,856 in 1914, and the attendance 1,973, against 1,975 in 1914. The hours of opening have now been changed from Friday and Saturday evenings to Tuesday and Saturday evenings. The circulation for the Central Library has been 24,317 adult and 12,919 juvenile, a total of 37,236. This is a gain of 575 as compared with 1914. The total circulation for the whole system has been 75,735, against 74,508 in 1914. Though statistics of circulation are necessary in a report, the essential work of a library can never be stated in figures, nor judged by statistics, whether large or small. The notable gifts of the year have been: Manuscript music, from Mrs. Louis, Harlow, composed by her son, Louis Harlow; The portraits of Shakespeare, by Norris, from Mrs. Mary W. Tileston; a framed engraving by Whitechurch, of the United States Senate of 1850, from the estate of James Tucker; the Catholic Encyclopaedia, in 16 volumes, from the Dorchester Lower Mills Council No. 180, of the Knights of Columbus; A check-Ust of North American bii'ds.

Herrick, Esq., and Mrs. Jacob L. Lincoln. Mrs. Harrison O. Apthorp, Mrs. Frederic H. Hird, and Mrs. Henry S. Shaw have given numbers of the Literary Digest to complete files. The etchings collection has been enriched by two PUBLIC LIBRARY 287 prints, one by William Auerbach Levy, and one by

I. Andre Smith. The anonymous giver of the valuable collection of etchings is now known to be the late James Hemy Whit- man and the collection has been named in his honor, the James Henry Whitman Collection of Etchings. This

Library is fortunate indeed to own so many rare prints. The exhibits for the year have been: January 10 to 31, Reproductions of Japanese paintings arranged by Mr. E. Dudley James: attendance 56; January 16 to February 17, A collection of articles connected with Jonathan Russell, arranged by the Milton Historical Society: attendance 290; February 3 to 17, Paintings, mostly portraits, by Miss Edith Park: attendance 206;

~~Feb. 20 to March 8, Paintings by Miss Adeleine Wolever: attendance 206; March 10 to April 12, Bird migration, arranged by the Brush Hill Bird Club: attendance 144;~~

April 14 to June 1, Paintings by Mrs. W. Starling Burgess: attendance 154; October 11 to November 29, Paintings by C. Henrv Richert, and Harold C. Dunbar: attendance 189. A botanical exhibit of plates and specimens of ferns, lichens and trees, mostly to be found in Milton, was opened in the art room December 9, under the direction of the Natural History Committee of the Education

Society. As the exhibit is to run for several weeks longer, it is too early to state its attendance. During the month of February, Mrs. Edward Holton James gave a series of Sunday afternoon readings in the Historical room. Interest in these readings was keen, the attendance varying from 52 to 95, with a total of 290 for the four afternoons. Mrs. James read The Night Shift, The Rising of the Moon, The Wine Press, The Mob, and Makers of Madness. 288 PUBLIC LIBRARY

A class of little girls met in the Historical room on Wednesday afternoons from January to May; the average attendance was 20. On May 19, an exhibit of their handiwork was held to which the public was invited. The Junior department of the Woman's Club had nine play rehearsals at the Library ; The Red Cross Committee of the Woman's Club has had a series of lectm'es on nursing, on Tuesday afternoons, and a ParUamentary class, also connected with the Woman's Club, has met on Thursday mornings. In addition to these special classes, there have been held at the Library 50 meetings of various other committees and societies, making in all a total of 95 meetings, with a total attendance of 1,393. On March 4, Miss Marian H. King, who had been in charge of the Children's room, resigned: her place was filled on September 13, by Miss Julia D. S. Snow, of

~~Greenfield, Mass. On May 3, Miss Lilian C. Kerr, of Milton, became a member of the staff to take the place of Miss Ethelwyn Manning, who resigned on July 31.~~

On September 7, Miss Josephine P. Little, of Newbury- port, entered the service as an apprentice. In concluding, the Librarian and her assistants wish to express to the Trustees their appreciation of the action of the Board, which has made it possible for members of the staff to attend various library meetings. Respectfully submitted, Gertrude E. Forrest, Librarian. PUBLIC LIBRARY 289

Under a recent Act of the Legislature all persons peddling fruits and vegetables are required to have a hcense. The above law has been complied with and the Town Treasurer has received one hundred and fom* (104) dollars as license fees. I have at various times made inspections and reweigh- ings at the different places of business and in transit. I would respectfully recommend that the scales owned by the Town be replaced by scales of larger capacity, particularly the scales at the Town Stables on Randolph Avenue which is in very poor condition and should be replaced this year, and would recommend that the sum of seven hundred (700) dollars be appropriated for that purpose. Respectfully submitted, James Sangster, Sealer of Weights and Measures.

~~To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: Gentlemen:—I have the honor to submit for your consideration my first annual report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1915.~~

It is understood that I took charge of the Highway Department May 1 of the present year, and that I have looked over and separated the different accounts, from May 1 to December 31, 1915. I have taken the accounts of my predecessor, Mr.

~~Ivers M. Low, from January 1 to May 1, and have separated them as accurately as possible.~~

~~PERMANENT WORK~~

Owing to the small amount of money available and also to the very bad condition of all the main thoroughfares, the department was unable to do any permanent work, other than the two streets mentioned below. Although we were fully aware that permanent construction of some sort would be cheaper in the end, we had to take into consideration the much needed repairs on all the streets.

ADAMS STREET RECONSTRUCTION Adams Street was reconstructed from Granite Place to Centre Street at a length of 4,053 feet and an average width of 34.4 feet, amounting to 15,491 square yards. Part of this street the old stone was hand screened and used over, with new stone on the top to receive the tar, while the rest of it was reshaped and a new stone top constructed. 295 296 REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS

The crown of this street varies somewhat owing to surrounding conditions, and in line of economy. The crown is greater from Brook Road to Centre Street than it is from Granite Place to Brook Road. This could have been obviated by a larger outlay of money in removing some of the road bed, which we hardly considered the conditions warranted. The cost of construction per square yard amounted to 68 cents. Some of the stone used was from the Squantum Street Crusher, although most of the stone was bought from P. F. Donovan at $1.35 per ton delivered, and at $1.00 per ton at Donovan's crusher, when hauled by Town teams. All of the tarvia was bought from the Barrett Manufactm-ing Company, the X grade at 9 cents per gallon, and the B grade at 7§ cents per gallon. The cost of gravel, bought from the Milton Park Commission at the Kidder Pit was 30 cents per double team load.

Eliot Street was reconstructed on the southerly side from Adams street to Central Avenue, at a length of 1,334 feet and an average width of 18.2 feet, amounting to 2,698 square yards. The construction was the same as that of the Adams Street reconstructed section, while the cost of construction amounted to 69 tV cents per square yard. The tarvia X and A was bought from the Barrett Manufacturing Company, at 9 cents per gallon, the cold weather requiring grade A instead of grade B. Some stone REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS 297

~~was hauled from the Squantum Street crusher, while considerably more was bought from P. F. Donovan at $1.35 per ton delivered, and at $1.00 per ton at Donovan's Crusher, when hauled by Town teams.~~

~~ADAMS STREET REPAIRS~~

~~From Centre Street to Lower Mills~~

Adams Street from Centre Street to Milton Village at a length of one and one-fifth miles and width of 18 feet, was broken up, scarified and rolled smooth, in order to eUminate the numerous bad cradle holes, and was treated with two coats of liquid asphalt, John Baker Jr. Com-

pany grade No. 1. The Uquid asphalt was charged to the Water and Oil account, and amounted to 8,213 gallons at 4§ cents, or 369.59. This made a very good summer road but must not be considered permanent construction.

AUTO TRUCK Upon entering this department I found the auto truck in storage, had it registered and put it to work. It has not been very satisfactory on account of numerous break- downs, and the long distance to send for repairs, and the time consumed in getting the same. The last breakdown was quite a severe one and as the season was nearly ended, we put it in storage without repairs. I would reconunend that this truck be put in order to trade it off for something more substantial, as I am of the opinion that a good five ton truck would be a paying investment on some of the long hauls.

Brook Road from Adams Street to Canton Avenue, about one and one-half miles, was treated the same as the above section of Adams Street repairs, but did not give quite as good satisfaction on account of the very poor material found on the surface and no monej^ available to resurface with new material.

It will be remembered that nearly all of the main thoroughfares and numerous side streets were in a somewhat dangerous condition, and frequently reported dangerous, owing to the great number of depressions or ruts. We established a patching outfit and have actually patched considerably over thu-ty miles, carrying the work along until the snow came near the end of the year.

~~Although the work had to be done, it can be called a necessary evil, And the quicker these streets are reconstructed, the quicker the waste of money will be obviated.~~

~~RANDOLPH AVENUE CONSTRUCTION~~

Provided for by Special Appropriation, September 1, 1915. The street was reconstructed on the westerly side from Reedsdale Road, 4,910 feet, to a point on Tucker Hill about where the car track swings from the side of the road to the center, at a width of 18 feet, and consists of 9,820 square yards. For 2,500 feet of this road, from Reedsdale Road to Highland Street, the foundation, after being viewed jointly with a representative of the High- way Commission, was condemned, and after stripping the old stone from the surface, the foundation was removed and back filled with a coarse frost-proof gravel which made the construction somewhat costly. The tarvia was bought from the Barrett Manufactur- ing Company, at 9 cents per gallon, tarvia "A" being re- 308 REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS quired because of the cold weather. The gravel was bought from Samuel Craig, 269 double loads at 40 cents, and from C. C. Copeland, 223^ double loads at 40 cents. The greater part of the stone was bought from W. J. Barry at $1.35 per ton delivered and at $1.00 per ton at the crusher. The balance of the stone was bought from P. F. Donovan at the same price.

I would most respectfully recominend a tandem roller of the six ton double drive type. Also, I would recommend trading in the auto or putting it in thorough repair. We still have two, old, light weight horses in the department which I would recommend selhng and replacing with heavy horses. I would recommend that the crusher at the Squantum Pit be moved to the Kidder Pit to be used as a gravel screening plant; also that a street cleaning division be organized to keep the Town clean. This latter recommendation is necessary, first, from a sanitary point of view, secondly, because the dirt on the street is injurious to the street itself, and thirdly, because the accumulation of dirt washed into the basins makes such removal of dirt more expensive than removal from the street. I desire to express my thanks to your Honorable Board, and through you, to the foremen, and the men of the department for courtesies received; also to my predecessor who so kindly assisted me when I assumed the duties of the department. Respectfully submitted, H. A. Spates, Superintendent of Streets. '

~~REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN~~

To the Citizens of the Town of Milton:— This has been, on the average, a fair year for tree growth. During the month of March there was no rain whatsoever. Later a fair amount of rain fell, and this seemed to help the larger trees rather than those newly planted. A good many of the older trees along our streets have died and been removed. Many private estates show the ravages of time in this way, and yet there is very little interest shown in planting out new trees for the benefit of the next generation. Apparently very few realize that a tree makes a good showing thii'ty years from planting out, provided, of com'se, that it has a reasonable chance. It has been possible to do more trimming of street trees this year than for some time past. One year's fight with the gypsy moths is much like another's. This year there was less stripping of trees than usual, but the nests are very plentiful in spite of that fact. The wilt disease has done more good than usual. A particularly interesting example was to be seen on Randolph Avenue beyond the Milton Town line, in the INIetropolitan Park area. Here no spraying was done

~~' ' owing to the difficulty in getting water. The ' Flacherie or wilt disease broke out late in the eating season of the gypsy caterpillar and helped the cause tremendously.~~

Brown-tail moths are apparently still scarce, though perhaps it is yet rather early in the season to be too sure of this. An inventory of the property of the Tree Warden and of the Local Moth Superintendent has been made and shows, on the basis of cost prices, a valuation of $8,429.22.

~~This list will serve as a basis to estimate from, but it is 311 312 REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN hard to say to which of the two departments some of the tools and suppUes should be credited.~~

In studying the cost of the moth work by the Town, it should always be remembered that the amount appropriated is not the only amount to be considered. Much of the work done on private property comes back to the Town treasury through the taxes; something like $2,500 per annum. This goes into the general balance, not to the credit of the Gypsy Moth account. Then there is a lot of work done for private individuals which is credited to the department and so used over again. This year's appropriations should be repeated as a minimum from which good results may be expected.

~~For planting and care of trees $ 2,000~~

~~For gypsy and brown-tail moth work . 12,000 Respectfully submitted, Nathaniel T. Kidder, Tree Warden and Local Moth Superintendent. :~~

~~REPORT OF THE WATER COMMISSIONERS~~

To the Citizens of the Town of Milton: The Board of Water Commissioners respectfully submits the following report for the year 1915: At the Annual Meeting in March, Mr. Howard C. Leslie was elected for a term of three years, succeeding Mr. Jesse B. Baxter. At this meeting, also, the Town appropriated .$2,500 for the extension of mains, the same as in the year previous, and the usual amount of $9,000 for hydrant rentals. The year has been one of increased activity for .the department. Requests for extensions of mains on private ways, especially from the Mattapan section, have been numerous, indicating the growth in that district. Several services of unusual length have been installed at the expense of the owners with the result that it has been necessary to curtail work somewhat on public ways of the nature of completing dead ends. The total number of new services connected was 110 as compared with 82 in 1914, representing the largest number of new connections for any year in the history of the department. The total amount expended for new connection on public and private ways is $10,125.40, apportioned as follows

~~PUBLIC WAYS~~

~~Total cost of new construction $10,125 40~~

~~Total length of mains now in use of over 4 inches in diameter, 50.0532 miles.~~

The amount expended over $10,000 was due to granting an application for extension on Governor Road, East Milton, where a six inch pipe was laid with a view of extending the main in the very near future. In the opinion of the Commissioners, conditions were such as to justify proceeding with permanent work rather than temporary. The total number of feet of pipe laid during the year was 7,587, of which 5,825 feet were installed in private ways. Most of this was 6 inch pipe and in addition 1,777 feet of 6 inch pipe were installed on private property at the expense of the owners. The number of hydrants installed during the year was 15, two of which are on private property. The total number of hydrants now in use is 420, of which 30 are private. The number of active services is 1,867, a net increase for the year of 107, —three services having been dis- continued. The Ford runabout purchased in 1913 was turned in for a new one. During the year this has been run approximately 5,000 miles at a cost of $205.54 (including REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS 315 gasoline, oil, tires, repairs, depreciation, etc.), equiva- lent to approximately four cents a mile. In May, 1915, an automobile truck, belonging to the Curtis & Pope Lumber Company collided with a hydrant on Brush Hill Road and broke it. Before water could be shut off, some damage, due to washing of material, was done to a private avenue running between Brush Hill Road and Blue Hill Avenue; also to the tracks of the Blue Hill Street Railway Company. A claim has been filed against the Curtis & Pope Lumber Company but settlement is still pending. We regret to say that citizens on the high pressure system were caused inconvenience by interruption of service on two occasions this year, in August and Octo- ber, due to breaks in the Metropolitan System outside of the Town limits and, consequently, beyond the control of the Water Department. A comparative study of rates charged by other cities and towns served by the Metropolitan System made by the Commissioners during the year reveals the fact that the rates in Milton are somewhat higher than the average of the cities and towns taking supply from this system.

~~The assessment levied by the Metropolitan is based one- third on valuation and two-thirds on consumption. Since~~

Milton's valuation is the highest of any town in the district, and since the consumption of water per capita in' Milton is considerably lower than the average of the district, it follows that our assessment is comparatively high and, consequently, this has a direct bearing on the water rates in Milton. As the business of the Water Department grows, however, it is becoming evident that receipts are increasing at a faster ratio than expenses so that the Commissioners are of the opinion that a further reduction of rates may be warranted in the near future. An effort to bring about this result is continually being made. 316 REPORT OF WATER COMMISSIONERS

As a step in the direction of reducing the expenses of the department, the Commissioners recommend the purchase of an automobile truck and a Ford truck, thereby making it possible to do away with the present stable facilities and equipment which for various reasons have been more costly to maintain than they should be. Be- sides increasing the efficiency of the department in its everyday work, it is conservatively estimated that the purchase of motor equipment will reduce the cost of transportation as represented by present stable expenses very considerably. The appropriations asked for this year are as follows: For the purchase of motor equipment as indicated above $2,700 For extension of mains 2,500 For hydrant rental 9,000

The last two items are the same as last year. A statement of the cost of the water property to the Town since its purchase is submitted herewith and, for the details of the receipts and expenses for 1915, reference is made to the financial report compiled by the Auditor, as shown elsewhere.

~~OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE~~

~~REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE~~

~~To the Citizens of the Town of Milton: The School Committee submits herewith its report for the year ending December 31, 1915.~~

School Buildings In our report of two years ago, we called attention to the fact that the High School building was fast becoming inadequate, and that the growth of the Town at East Milton and Mattapan would soon make necessary larger school accommodations in those districts. Last year we recommended the appointment of a committee to study the whole problem. Such a Committee, consisting of three members of the School Committee and two other citizens, was appointed; and its report, which is annexed hereto, should have the careful consideration of every citizen. The School Committee is heartily in accord with the recommendations of the Conunittee on School Buildings, and we earnestly hope that the Town will vote to carry out their recommendations. We are unanimously of the opinion that the time for action has come, that the appropriation recommended for the building of accommodations for the High School at the Vose School should be made at the annual Town meeting in March, that the land adjacent to the Vose lot should now be purchased, and that land recommended for a future Tucker School on Thacher Street should be acquired without delay. Fire Hazard

This subject is considered in the report of the Com- mittee on School Buildings and is one which has constantly 7 8 REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE been before us. We are sure it will be a gratification to the Town to know that the expert, (Mr. F. ElUot Cabot of

Milton) , who examined the schools on behalf of the School Buildings Committee, found very httle to criticize. In addition, Mr. McKeever of the State Pohce went over the buildings; and the Town Building Inspector, Mr. Burt, and Chief Holmes of the Fire Department have also made an examination. All agree that the precautions taken against fire in our buildings are good. We are now carrying out the various suggestions made to insure greater safety.

It should be borne in mind that all but two of our buildings are of wood, and on account of the fire hazard, if for no other reason, we consider that the Town should not put further additions upon the present wooden buildings, but should, in providing further accommodations, build of brick and stone. The recent terrible fire at Peabody has led to investigations. One of the most valuable suggestions from this study, in our opinion, is for the installation of sprinkler systems in the basements of school buildings. We recommend that this be done in our schools. We estimate the cost at seven thousand dollars ($7,000).

~~Physical Education in the Schools~~

We do not consider it necessary to reiterate what we have said in our reports of the last two years, as to the necessity of proper instruction in physical exercises; but we would call the attention of the Town to the recently pubhshed Report of the State Special Commission on Military Education and Reserve, which recommends in all towns of ten thousand or more that physical training be made obligatory in the high school. report of school committee 9

School Gardens Last year we reported that the Committee on School Gardens of the Education Society had proposed that the School Department should take over the work of carrying on school gardens which had been begun by the Society. We reported that the work had been so successful that in our opinion this work should be assumed by the schools. A suitable smn to carry on this work was included in our estimates for the past year and voted by the Town. We now report that the work continues with increasing success. Approximately eight hundred children have voluntarily planted and cultivated gardens, either at their own homes or in the special plots provided by the department, and although the enterprise is comparatively new in Milton, our school children won several prizes offered by the Massachusetts Horticultural So- ciety in competition with other schools of the Common- wealth, and a cup offered by the State Board of Agri- culture was awarded to the Town for the general excellence of its gardens and garden club work.

~~The Summer School~~

For a number of years the Education Society, through private generosity, has conducted a Sxmuner School for four weeks in July for school children, the classes being in manual training and millinery. As in the case of School Gardens, the School Depart- ment has been asked to assume the Summer School as part of the school work. We consider that the Summer School has also demonstrated its usefulness and success, and we include in our estimates for this year the sum of six hundred dollars for carrying on the Summer School. 10 report of school committee

Ungraded Class for Backward Children Last year we reported the excellent work which was being done by a specially qualified teacher in going about in the schools to assist the children who were not up to the usual standard. This work continues. This year, in line with one of the recommendations made to the Town by the Committee on Public Educa- tion (see its report made in January, 1913), we have also established an ungraded class for such children, in one of the rooms of the Wadsworth School. There are some fifteen children in this class—all that can be properly taught by one teacher, as each pupil requires much individual training. The results are satisfactory in two ways—as special and far more attention can be paid to the child than would be possible in the regular grade, progress is being made by children who were practically standing still; it is also of decided advantage to the classes from which these children are taken, since they profit little themselves and need an undue amount of attention from the teacher and delay the progress of the entire class.

~~Advisory Bureau~~

During the year, the Advisory Bureau has been established for the purpose of acquiring information concerning pupils who leave school between the ages of fourteen and eighteen years, and to assist and ad\'ise such pupils, in accordance with methods now prevailing in many other school systems. The Bureau seeks first, by interviews with the boy or girl, their parents, and teachers, to bring about either a readjustment of school work and a return to school here, or find opportunities for further special training for them elsewhere, or it may be to arrange for part tune school and part time employment. Secondly, for boys and girls. REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE 11

~~for whom arrangements to continue in school cannot be made, the Bureau seeks suitable employment after interviews with employers in and about Milton.~~

~~The Advisory Bureau is directed by volunteer service.~~

Though the results are so far small, it is hoped that the steps taken have been in the right direction, and may lead to future usefulness. The director is Miss Hester Cunningham, who may be called at her house by telephone between 8 and 9 a.m. daily, and will make appointments for conferences there or at one of the schools.

She is assisted by Mrs. Wallace Tucker. Mr. Clarence Boylston after forty years as teacher in the Milton public schools, twenty years as principal of elementary schools, and twenty as teacher of science in the High School, retired last June. The Committee registers its appreciation of Mr. Boylston's long service as a skilled and devoted teacher, whose influence upon his pupils has been wholesome and permanent.

~~Gifts to the School~~

The Committee desires to gratefully acknowledge the following gifts, which have been made to the schools during the year: High School: Picture—"Hieroglyphics" from Class of 1915. Victrola from the Glee Club of 1915. Tucker School: Statue—"Victory" from Class of 1915. Victrola Records from Tucker School Parents' Asso- ciation.

~~REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT~~

~~To the School Committee:~~

~~The following is submitted as my fom-th annual report, which is the thirty-sixth in the series of Superintendents' Reports. High School~~

Although much has been said in previous reports to your Board, pointing out the lack of room and facilities for carrying on the work of the High School and although the Special Committee on School Buildings has made a thorough study of the situation and made a very definite recoimmendation, I feel that it is my duty to put on record a plea that definite action be urged by your Board with a view to carrying out that part of the Special Coimnittee's recommendation which refers to a new High School. To those who have been in close contact with the handicaps and difficulties under which the High School has been conducted, immediate action in this direction is urgent. To any one who makes a first hand investigation of the situation, it is quickly evident that relief is needed. The carefully considered plan presented by the Com- mittee on School Buildings not only has amply provided for the immediate needs of the High School in all its activities at the present time, but with more than usual foresight has had the building so designed that all the portions of the building, other than the regular class and recitation rooms, shall be ample to take care of twenty or twenty-five years of normal growth. Had the Commit- tee followed, as is too often the case, the line of least re- 17 18 REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE sistance and planned the laboratories, gymnasium, assembly hall, lunch room, rooms for manual training, and domestic science, and commercial branches for the present and immediate future only, it would eventually be extremely costly, if not absolutely impossible, to enlarge these sections of the building to meet subsequent demands, which are clearly foreseen.

~~Junior High School~~

The excellence of the organization and instruction of the Milton school system in its elementary grades can be conserved and made of greatest service only as the work of the upper grades and the High School shall be so organized as to provide for the wisest development of the courses and faciUties for the molding and inspiring of the boys and girls at this most critical period. Since the somewhat detailed discussion in my last year's report concerning the reorganization of the work in the upper grades and the first year of the High School into a Junior High School, there has been much more extended investigation and adoption of this plan throughout the country. The results where this reorganization has been carefully thought out and developed and the readiness with which the Milton situation adapts itself to the Junior High School plan make it even more clear that provision should be made as soon as possible for carrying out this idea. The trend and spirit of recent educational study and investigation have encouraged the breaking away from traditional subjects and courses. Instead of trying to adapt the mass of children to the courses, there is now a very decided move to adapt the courses and methods to varying groups and even to individuals. This desire to adapt the curriculum to varying groups superintendent's report 19 in the upper grades of the elementary schools has given momentum to the Junior High School. After pupils have devoted six or seven years to the acquiring of the fundamental processes and their application in learning about number, science, history, geogra- phy, language, all doing the same thing in the same way, it has become a growing conviction that we should no longer attempt to keep all the children in the same groove or turn them into the same mold. Opportunity should be provided at the end of these elementary years for pupils to gradually get away from the specific and detailed direction and assignments and dependence upon the teacher and acquire habits of more independence and initiative of thought and action. Individual Teaching Another phase of this tendency to study and under- stand the needs and capacities of children is the attempt to prevent retardation and elimination in all the grades. In a compulsory school system, where because of reasons of expense, pupils are organized into grades and handled in masses, there is an apparent need for a certain amount of individual attention and instruction. Your Board has recognized this need for several years and last year appointed an unassigned teacher, the results of whose work justified an extension of the plan at the beginning of the present school year, by the reappoint- ment of Miss Menut, whose time is devoted to the individual instruction of pupils in the upper grades, and the assignment of Mrs. Gordon to similar work in the lower grades for three days a week, (the balance of her time being devoted to the supervising of primary reading and language work.) The natm'al outgrowth of this policy of making the class teaching more effective by the system of coaching and studying the needs of individual pupils has been a careful sifting and selection of a group of children, who, 20 REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE because of sickness, lack of development, or other unusual condition, are out of step with the regular work and cannot be brought up to the standard of the grade.

~~Ungraded Class~~

Then for the most difficult and serious cases, a special ungraded class in a room in the Wadsworth School has been organized. This room happened to be vacant and most convenient for the majority of these pupils. Miss Jaquith, one of our regular teachers, who was not only well adapted to this type of work, but was sufficiently interested to voluntarily spend the summer in fm-ther study and preparation, is in charge of this room. Pupils are admitted to this class only after careful observations by the teachers who are doing the individual instruction in all the schools, together with the advice of the principal, and often after scientific tests. The enrohnent in this room has been kept approximately to fifteen, so that individual and personal methods of instruction may be employed. The work is varied giving considerable opportunity for handwork in sewing, weav- ing, and elementary manual training for the purpose of finding types of work in which the pupil may be successful and gain for himself a feeling of success. This is much more stimulating than the constant feeling of failure, as is often the case when he is continually measuring his ability with those whose advancement has been normal. Thus far this experiment, though somewhat more costly than ordinary classrooms, is filling a need and from the point of view of the Town's interest is economical.

~~Summer School~~

The acceptance of your Board of the administration of what has been known as the Summer School, conducted by the Education Society, involves additional responsi- superintendent's report 21 bility as well as opportunity. About one hundred children have been profitably occupied and trained in two main Unes, millinery and manual training. It will be advisable for your Board to consider the desirability of broadening the advantages of these Summer classes for the benefit of those pupils, who not only desire further opportunities in manual training and millinery, or other industrial courses, but who may feel the need for further instruction in regular academic studies.

~~Children's Gardens~~

That phase of training which has been carried on for a number of years by the Education Society Committee on Children's Gardens, and which was assumed by the School Department last March, has been developed and further systematized during the past year under the continued enthusiastic direction of Miss Turner. The prevalent method of handUng the problem of teaching children gardening has been more or less inci- dental in that some temporary appointee has had charge of the work for the two vacation months. This plan has usually proved unsatisfactory, not only because the work is begun too late in the season, but begun without careful study and preparation on the part of both pupils and instructor in the early spring months. The plan, under which the work has been carried on in Milton for the past two years, has demonstrated thoroughly not only that the work is rendering a valuable service to the children in the schools and in their homes, but that the general plan of administering the work is correct. The employment of a specially equipped instructor for a period approximately from February 1 to December 1, thus allowing the vacation period in the winter, makes possible an early and thorough preparation, an early 22 REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE start, and a successful completion of the work at about the tune of the Fall Exhibition. Then in the fall, instruction is given in the very interesting study and planting of various kinds of bulbs, thousands of which are piu-chased by the children at wholesale rates and brought out in their homes. At the same time they are watching the development and growth of similar bulbs and a variety of plants in the window boxes, which are now pretty generally provided in the school rooms. This plan also makes possible in addition to this very definite instruction in gardening and general plant study a wide range of instruction and suggestion along the broad lines of nature study, including such topics as trees, native shrubs, wild flowers, birds, animals, etc.

~~Thrift~~

It is enjoined upon the schools by an act of the Legis- lature to teach thrift. Even before this legislation it was the custom of the schools of Milton not so much to teach thrift, but to encourage thrift through the practice of school savings. From the time the school bank was estabUshed in 1899 to October 31, 1912, $8,557.04 were deposited, an average of $658.23 yearly. During the three years from October 31, 1912, to October 31, 1915, $5,037.41, (a yearly average of $1,679.14), were deposited. The handling of this banking business requires considerable tune of the principals, who receive the small deposits and credit the same on children's deposit cards. As soon as any pupil's deposits amount to three dollars, the money is transferred to the Dorchester Savings Bank and a regular pass book issued, and thereafter whenever these individual deposits amount to one or more dollars, the even dollars are deposited in the main bank. The interest and enthusiasm in this work are contagious, superintendent's report 23 as is evidenced by the fact that in one of our large grammar schools over one thousand dollars were deposited by the chUdren last year.

~~Military Training or Physical Education~~

The question is frequently asked if we should not have miUtary drill in the public schools. At this time the problem of preparedness is soprominently in the pubUc mind that enthusiasts are here and there seizing upon the idea of military drill and immediately propose to foist it upon the public schools, just as most school systems have become pretty well rid of the practice. Conspicuous authorities from various walks, including military experts, men like Dr. Schaeffer, State Superin- tendent of Instruction of Pennsylvania, and Dr. Dudley A. Sargent, of Cambridge, have spoken with -ndsdom and emphasis against miUtary training in high schools and in favor of that sort of physical training, for which we have been arguing for a number of years and which is so necessary a foundation for real military training. It is asserted by most authorities that miUtary drill in schools does not develop those qualities in youth which prepare them for the struggles of war nor for the struggles of peace. It is inadequate and limited as a means of physical training. The most military nations in the world do not have miUtary drills in their schools, but give miUtary instruction and training after boys have reached the age of eighteen or twenty and after they have received years of physical training as a part of their schooling. Military drill in schools never has and never can teach boys the real art of war. It has often fostered "a bombastic miUtary spirit of 'tin soldierism' and a false sense of patriotism, which does not appreciate the seriousness of war nor the glories of the struggles of peace." 24 REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE

On the other hand authorities are coming into a pretty common agreement that a rational system of physical training, or, as I prefer to think of it, physical education, which includes hygiene as well as training, would be of the greatest value in preparing both boys and girls for the demands of both war and peace, for success in either is dependent upon the health and vigor of the individual. In these days such a rational system of physical education means not only a body improved in size and carriage, but a development and strengthening of all the vital organs to better meet the stress and strain of life, whether it be in the training camp or in the city office. Such a system includes athletic games, sports, and general carefully supervised gymnastics. It is a fallacious idea for those who are contending for preparation for war to attempt to make a soldier out of the undeveloped boy.

' Dr. Sargent in an inspired paragraph says, ' What America most needs is some way of giving those physical advantages to the masses which she now lavishes on the favored few—some way of providing more athletic students and fewer student athletes, some way of providing more soldierly schoolboys instead of schoolboy soldiers." In a comprehensive school system there are many activities and accomplishments which merit discussion and commendation. However, an adequate report concerning the work and progress from the introductory work of the kindergarten to the concluding year of the

High School would be altogether too extended if not impossible. Suffice it to say that as a result of the high standards and intelligent devotion to duty on the part of teachers, the schools of ^Milton in all their activities are keeping a position near the front, and in several branches are forging ahead with new impetus. Appreciating the generous provision of the citizens superintendent's report 25 for this department, as well as the judicial guidance and constant support of your Board, in the administration of its affairs, I am. Respectfully, Frank Monroe Marsh, Superintendent
