Selectmen's Report

The regular appointments have been made as required by law. They appear in the list of town officials. Sidewalks—Cross-walk has been installed on Main Street, Cochituate. Lighting—Additional street lights have been placed as follows:

German Hill Street 1

Pleasant Street 1 Cochituate Road 2 Old Conn. Path East 2 Repairs on Town Hall The repairs have been made on roof of Town Hall. All broken slate has been replaced and we now believe the roof to be in good condition. Water System

The water system has been installed and is a great addition to our Town House. The well was driven eighty- five feet, and we have ample supply of water for all purposes. We find that it will be necessary to do something in regard to heating plant in extreme cold weather, as otherwise it will be impossible to keep it from freezing. As per vote of the Town, the Selectmen petitioned the County Commissioners for an extension of time to finish work on Concord Road. They refused to grant such extension. The Commission appointed to see about the elimination of grade crossing on State road near Samuel Russell's, held a hearing in May. Xo report has been made as to their finding. PAUL T. DRAPER. GEO.

Auditor's Report

The accounts of the Financial Officials have been audited and are correct with the exception of one item in the Collec- tor's accounts of $19. 53 credited to Interest which should have been credited as follows: $14.63 to Taxes, $4.90 to Moth Tax.

I have recommended that this error be corrected by trans- ferring the above amounts from Interest to the proper accounts. The financial statement to the State Bureau of Statistics has been forwarded as required by law.

Forest Warden's Report

There were some very bad forest fires the past year in the north part of the town, two of which were started by sparks from a portable sawmill located there, the other two I think were from some other cause. Considerable damage was done by the last two fires as about sixty cords of wood belonging to Mr. W. S. Lovell were burned. The matter was referred to the State Fire Warden. No investigation was made. A new forest fire wagon has been installed the past year which we find to be very useful for forest fires and other fires also.

Board of Health

The Board of Health respectfully submit the following annual report for the year ending February 28, 1914.

Members of the Board Cyrus A. Roak, Chairman Andrew A. Norris Walter S. Bigwood, Clerk, Inspector of Slaughtering: Dr. Frank Bigwood, M. B. C. Contagious diseases: Measles—three cases reported. Diphtheria, two cases reported. Typhoid fever—two cases reported. Tuberculosis—one case reported. Cerebro-spinal meningitis—one case reported. Ophthalmia neonatorum—one case reported. Several cesspools have been put in and drains properly cared for. Several complaints were made in the early spring of the conditions of the piggeries, situated in the north part of the town. The Board looked up the matter and found that owing to the heavy rains in March and April the piggeries had not been cleaned. By a request from the Board the owners promptly cleaned them out. Since then they have been kept in as good a condition as places of that kind can be kept. All stagnant water was sprayed several times with mosquito oil for the prevention of malaria.

Standing water is the breeding place of mosquitos. There- fore it is suggested that every household pour kerosene oil or mosquito oil in cesspools or on surfaces of necessary stand- REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH 93

ing water once in three weeks. The mosquito being not only a serious annoyance, but menance to the public health, its extermination becomes a matter of public concern.

Board of Selectmen:

Gentlemen:— I submit the following report for the past year. Five head of cattle afflicted with tuberculosis have been quarantined, killed and carcases disposed of by rendering. One case of glanders was reported, quarantined, killed and rendered. Xo cases of rabies or other contagious diseases other than those mentioned above have been reported. The general spring inspection is now on.

Report of the Surveyor of Highways

Wayland, February 18, 1914.

The amount appropriated for Highways and Bridges the past year was three thousand dollars ($3,000.00). The Ex- cise tax was seven hundred and seventy six dollars and sixty- two cents ($776.62) also a gift of twenty-five dollars from Mr. R. K. Snow making a total of three thousand eight hundred and one dollars and sixty-two cents ($3,801.62). The expenditures for the year amount to three thousand eight hundred and seventy-three dollars and forty nine cents ($3,873.49). Owing to the fact that there were many dangerous washouts on the highways caused by the January thaw and heavy rain

I was obliged to overdraw the account seventy-one dollars and eighty-seven cents ($71.87). The snow bills for the year were two hundrd and thirty three dollars and twenty-nine cents ($233.29)

Receipted pay rolls are on file in the Selectmen's room for above amounts.

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE 105

School Committee

The School Committee of Wayland has again to plead before the people of our community, the importance of an increased appropriation of money for carrying on our schools.

Since last September we have had to fill six vacancies in our force of teachers because of the fact that more attractive positions, with increased salaries, were offered than we could afford to pay. It is a fact that changes among the teachers are, at all times unsettling to the pupils and disturbing both to any established system of instruction and to effective continuous, cooperation among the teachers themselves. The teachers that are taken from us are more often than not our best teachers and their places must usually be filled by teachers demanding higher salaries, the result being that each succeeding year finds our payroll somewhat increased. It seems inevitable that this increase must go on for some years to come if we are to have in our Wayland Schools the kind of instruction and the high grade of scholarship in both teachers and pupils which the parents of Wayland have a right to expect.

If it were possible for your School Committee to increase teachers' salaries even to a moderate amount each year it would not be long before positions in Wayland Schools would be eagerly sought instead of being, as now, considered mere makeshifts and stepping stones to something more desirable. It is perhaps unnecessary to point out that much depends upon the quality of our teachers and that if this is allowed to deteriorate, the education of your children will suffer. The complaint has been in the past that this quality has not been high enough. The answer to this is that quality cannot be had at a low price. 106 TOWN OF WAYLAND

There is also an imperative need for funds in order that, among other things, our High School may be painted and the roof reshingled. Twelve years ago in 1902 the school building was for the last time painted inside and out at Mr. Francis Shaw's expense, but since that time no funds have been forthcoming for this purpose until now, with the paint peeling off the exterior, and with ceilings and walls discolored from leaks in a rotting roof it stands, the too expressive symbol of a community in- different to the appearence of its public buildings. Waviand is indeed fortunate in still having public spirited citizens. Recently through the kindness of one of Wayland's social organizations your School Committee has been able to arrange for the installation of a number of electric lights in the High School hall which are later to be supplemented by enough other lights to make of this an attractive and suitable place for school and other entertainments.

It is to be hoped that in the future the people of Wayland will be somewhat more alive than they have been in the past to the obligation of responsibility of so maintaining their High School building that its appearance may not be a source of surprise to strangers and of humiliation to themselves.

Report of Superintendent of Schools

To the Wayland School Committee:

Gentlemen:—The sixteenth annual report of the Super- intendent of Schools is herewith submitted. It is the fourth during my term of service. The report is abbreviated somewhat. Certain tables have been omitted and the reports of the Grammar Master and Special teachers, together with briefs relating to the school attendance and medical inspection laws, heretofore included, have been eliminated. The omissions have been made on advice of the Committee. Your schools are well organized, equipped, and are in general stongly disciplined. The pupils in the grades are doing work that calls for few special reports to parents. In some cases double promotions have been possible. The general tone of the work in the high school is strong. Then are individuals who are not putting forth efforts commensu- rate to their natural powers. These are a source of anxiety and constant study to us that we may awaken them to a realizaton of self power and to arouse them to take a look at their future possibilities. Parents are notified each half term

by report cards and each month by a special mailing card if work is unsatisfactory. To these reports I respectfully call the attention of the interested parties that all pupils may realize the highest benefits attainable through your high school. We have had some changes in the teaching staff the current year. In this connection there is a consideration worthy of your attention. Although there has been an increase in the salary of your grade teachers of fifty dollars recently no change in the attractiveness of salaries and the larger administra- 113

lion connected with schools of the larger municipality can be noted, nor can we hope to lessen the demand for our teachers

from these sources. But there is on the other hand a notice- able increase in the salaries of teachers in towns from which we have been able to draw formerly. Consequently when vacancies occur we shall be obliged more and more to seek teachers of less maturity and experience than heretofore.

It is well to bear this in mind in your future deliberations. Wayland knows the strong mature teacher and will likely demand and provide for same. The manual training classes are doing more interested and careful work this year than heretofore. We must re- member in inspecting the products of this department that many articles turned out are the first attempts of such construction and must of necessity bear the crudeness of the learner unless the Master puts on finishing touches. I am opposed to his so doing for I believe the work should represent the boy's own efforts. The measure of the work of this department lies in the improvement made through the lessons. A few pieces of work were taken to the Framingham Fair and a goodly number of premiums were awarded our work- manship. This has stimulated the interest in more careful work. The value of the manual training department may be increased by placing sewing machines at the disposal of the sewing teachers and by purchasing a motor circular saw. and turn- ing lathe for the boys. Consideration should also be given to the introduction of cooking courses into the ninth grade and high school. Some of our girls can devote their time and energies far more profitably to some such lines than to Latin, Stenography. Typewriting and the like. Miss Roland's music classes have made a marked gain in ability to read the past three years. This has been accomplished through the individual work. The pupils enjoy this

method now that it is established. The pupils of the Commercial Department are working very hard in most cases. Miss Barrett holds them to high 114 TOWN OF WAYLAND

standards. Stenography is one of the most difficult, if not the most difficult subject offered by the high school if it be mastered for business efficiency, calling as it does for accuracy of memory, alertness of mind, familiarity with a large vocabu- lary, skill in chirography, accurate orthography, and the final transcription, very dependent upon sentence construction. Wayland High School has a graduate who has passed the Harvard examinations under the new plan. We expect others now in school to continue the standard set so that no anxiety need be felt by any of the citizens lest the school fail to fit for college whether entrance be necessary by examination or by certificate. Should a boy or girl fail to realize the task of fitting for college and neglect his work failure will result. Parents need to realize that school means toil and that late hours, indif- ference, lack of physical vigor, and a determination not .to do home studying are great handicaps to success. 1 Sometimes we have desire without ambition. Parental ambitions are needed but unless injected into the being of the boy are not adequate. School boys and girls need strong, vigorous, watchful, unrelenting watchfulness at home through out the later years of their school life. The first care of high school pupils should be their school work. Too often it is their last.

The removal of the two old buildings is, in my opinion, greatly to the advantage of the children from the standpoint of morality and good citizenship. This is especially true of the old Cochituate building. To have had this building longer constantly in ihe eyes and minds of the children, falling into rapid decay, neglected, in disfavor, I believe would have been most unwise. Last May the Cochituate School gave an entertainment in Grange Hall which netted the school forty-eight dollars. Eight dollars were spent for rental of Grange Hall and one for tickets. Twenty-five dollars were given the Treasurer of the Park and Playground Association, one and a half dollars were expended for a shelf in the lower hall of the school building, and twenty-one and a half placed in the Natick Five REPORT OF SUPERIN TENDENT OF SCHOOLS 115

( cuts Savings Bank subject to the crder of the School Com- mittee. Thus the school has over eighty dollars to its credit and it is hoped that the same will soon be expended in the purchase of suitable statuary for the building. Last June the graduating class of the Cochituate School presented the school the frieze "The Treaty of Peace." The number of pupils in the Cochituate District has bee n casing for and is still calling for consideration relative to the advisability of closing one of the rooms. Considering the large number of children in the Wayland school and the number of grades to a room it seems more advantageous to your school children should those children that can as cheaply and easily attend the Cochituate school be transferred and the usual number of rooms opened in the fall unless there should be much falling off in numbers. Fewer notices of delinquencies in work or behaviour have been sent by mail than in any year since my term of service began in this District. This is very gratifying to us and likely as gratifying to parents. Respectfully submitted,

FRANK H. BENEDICT,

Superintendent of Schools. 116 TOWN OF WAYLAND

Report of the High School Principal

Mr. Frank H. Benedict, Superintendent of Schools. Dear Sir:—My third annual report of the Wayland High School is herewith presented for your consideration. Of the eleven graduates of the High School last June, six were admitted to higher institutions of learning. Two are attending the Framingham Normal School, one is at Waltham Business College, one at Lowell Textile School, one at Sim- mons College, and a sixth passed examinations for Harvard University.

Thet total enrolment of the High School this year is seventy-five which is an increase of six pupils over the total registration of last year. This regular increase of pupils is very

gratifying and it is hoped that it will continue for it makes the school more useful to the community.

There have been few. if any. changes in the curriculum and administration of the school this year. Our aim is for steady and consistent improvement. The average scholarship

is not as high as it should be or as high as I hope we shall make

it. To the average high school pupil school work must come

first, if he is to get the most out of his course. The daily attendance also may be improved. Punctuality and regular attendance on the part of all do much to improve individual standing and so the average scholarship of the class. We endeavor to keep the parents in- formed as to the progress of their children by report cards

sent out at the middle and end of each term. May I ask

parents to interest themselves in these reports and if the cards are not received at the expected time, kindly communicate with the principal. We often find that pupils are failing in some of their subjects because they are apparently trying to do too many things. It has been our plan this year, when we found such conditions existing, to advise the dropping of one or more subjects even

though it may mean five, or possibly six years to complete REPORT OF HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL 117

the course. I believe it is of far greater educational importance that a pupil should take but three subjects, if necessary, in a year and master them thoroughly than to try to take too many subjects and fail in half of them. Business men ask the high schools for young people who will attend regularly to business, who can do something well, do it cheerfully and do it when they are told.

In my. report last year, I stated at some length the rela- tion of our school to the New England College Examinations

Board and also, I enumerated the institutions with which we have the certificate privilege. After the publication of that report, I received word from the Secretary of the College Board to the effect that our school had been granted the privilege of sending pupils, upon the certificate of the Principal, to any of the colleges represented on the Board, during the year ending

December 31, 1914. It is our desire to have one or two graduates enter some of these colleges in the meantime. The position of the school as regards its ability to prepare pupils for college would seem to be much strengthened. Those graduates who last June were certified to various higher institutions are carrying their work with very creditable ranks. Also, in view of the fact that one graduate passed his examinations to Harvard I niversity, the following statistics for the Harvard admission examinations of 1913 may prove interesting: Admitted without conditions (old plan) 262 Admitted with conditions (old plan) 155 Admitted (new plan) 197

Total number admitted 614 Refused admission (old plan) 163 Refused admission (new plan) 65

Total number refused admission 228 It will be noted that of the eight hundred forty-two candidates over one-fourth were refused admission. The aendidate from our school was successful under the new plan 118 TOWN OF WAYLAND

by which one must present evidence of an approved school course satisfactorily completed before he is allowed to try the examinations. The installation of running water for drinking purposes upon both floors of the building has proven not only a great convenience but also an improvement of the sanitary conditions of the schcol. The graduating class of 1913 presented the school with two hundred ice-cream plates and two hundred spoons to be used at school functions. The stage of the school hall has been furnished with electric lights and tem- porary electric foot-lights by a donation of the Ladies and Knights of Honor. We are duly grateful to them. In order that the science department may keep up its

efficiency in this age of practical training, it is necessary that from time to time a careful renewal and addition of laboratory apparatus should be made. We believe that the commercial department is accom- plishing better work than ever before. We have three type- writers, but another may be necessary during the next year in order to do the work systematically. Music in the high school is being much handicapped by the poor condition of the piano. A new piano is needed and we hope to start a fund for that purpose through the efforts of the pupils. The senior class have stated their interest in this matter, and also we hope to give a musical entertainment by the school with the special object of raising money for a piano. By the presentation of the play "Pygmalion and Galatea" in February, the senior class accomplished something which should be of lasting educational value to them.

In closing, I wish to express my appreciation to my fellow-teachers who have made possible the service of the

school to the town. May I also acknowledge the debt the school owes to you and the School Committee for your cordial support. Respectfully submitted, W. HERBERT MOORE, Principal of High School. REPORT OF TRUANT OFFICERS 119

Water Commissioners' Report

At the regular monthly meeting, April 7, 1913 the Water Board was organized with James C. McKay, Chairman and Clarence S. Williams, Clerk. James H. Whitehead was re-appointed Superintendent of Works. In accordance with a vote of the town the Board decided to connect mains with the Natick Water Mains for better pressure for fires and use in emergency cases, which was done at the cost of thirteen hundred eighty-five dollars and thirty-six cents. At a special meeting of the Board May 1, it was decided to lay a 4-inch main 1,000 ft. long on East Pond Street to the property of Dr. Hahn and to place a fire hydrant near the end of the extension, also to furnish the cottages at Wayland Manor with water from a two-inch line of pipe.

At the regular meeting, July 7, it was decided to connect the German Hill and Shawmut Avenue mains to eliminate dead end on Shawmut Avenue. All Water Bonds were paid from the Sinking Fund, leav- ing $778.44 which was used to pay for laying mains.

Cemetery Commissioners

The money appropriated by the town for the care of its cemeteries for the year has been expended judiciously and the general appearance of all three of the cemeteries has been fairly good. With the valuable assistance of Mr. Frederick W. Eaton, our representative in the Legislature, an act was passed and approved, March 29, 1913, whereby the commissioners received from the Commonwealth the sum of four hundred dollars, for the improvement and perpetual care of the burial place of Charles Holbrook, who died without heirs in 1886, and whose estate became the property of the Commonwealth The lot which had been entirely neglected, has been thoroughly repaired and put in first class condition, with new foundations for curbing and head stone, and the sum of one hundred and fifty dollars for perpetual care has been invested with the other cemetery funds. Since our last annual report, the town has received a gift of one hundred dollars for a fund. This makes a total of eighteen funds, incomes from which are for perpetual care of lots, amounting in the aggregate to twenty- five hundred dollars. The above case of Mr. Holbrook's lot, illustrates how soon, without care, lots become dilapidated, and to the thoughtful should be an incentive to make provision for perpetual care of their lots.

Appended is statement showing balances held subject to order of the Commissioners on February 28, 1914. REPORT OF CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS 161
