~~I Annual Report, Town of Cohasset, 1940~~

~~REPORT OF TREE WARDEN~~

~~To the Citizens of Cohasset:~~

During the past year, the Tree Department has made very evident progress. Many diseased, decayed and dangerous trees and limbs have been removed or attended to. Much needed tree surgery was completed in the interests of Public Safety.

Ornamental shrubbery was fertilized and carefully pruned. Stands of heavy roadside growth on several corners were thinned, to eliminate traf- fic hazards, and our shade trees were carefully attended to preserve the effect that iDeautifies so many of our streets.

It seems fitting, at this time, to explain that although the Tree and Moth Departments are entirely separated, the work of each is complemen- tary, so that to all practical intent, it is a joint operation. For example, a diseased limb removed by the Tree Department becomes a spore or fungus carrying host that is destroyed by the Moth Department. Both Depart- ments work toward a common end; for the protection of our trees and it is my hope that a Central Conservation Department will some day unite these two important Town Departments, as a matter of economy and increased efl&ciency.

~~I wish to thank the Board of Selectmen and the citizens of Cohasset for their helpful suggestions during the past year.~~

~~In closing, I will state that the interested co-operation of the many men employed by this Department was directly responsible for the fine success of the 1940 Tree Program.~~

~~Respectfully submitted,~~

~~ROSCOE G. PRATT, Tree Warden.~~

~~REPORT OF MOTH SUPERINTENDENT~~

~~To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:~~

Following my appointment as Moth Superintendent, intensive spring creosoting of infested areas was continued until the foliage period. Be- ginning shortly after June 1st, a spraying program, planned to include roadside and some wooded areas as well as residential sections, was successfully completed.

Thinning of infested roadside growth together with cutting and burning of tent caterpillars was a consistent practise, and included the entire length of Forest Avenue and King Street; sections of Beechwood Street and Doane Street were also done. This work should be continued throughout the entire Town. Our Elm trees, menaced by the Elm beetle are now attacked

123 Annual Report, Town of Cohasset, 1940 from another quarter. A new disease, Cephalosporium Elm Wilt has been found within our Town. It is a rapidly spreading spore disease. Strong measures must be taken in joint control of these two active pests.

The Gypsy moth in this section is definitely on the increase. The destructive capacity of this insect is alarming and it gets its start in the private areas, that cannot be covered because of limited funds available to this Department. The situation is acute and the breeding areas must be controlled if Cohasset is to remain reasonably free of this growing plague. Considerable quantities of dead and rotting trees and limbs are largely responsible for increases in the insect life not usually observed. However, they have been noticed this year, and it has been extremely gratifying to co-operate ynth. many interested residents, who have requested insect identifications and methods of treatment.

It is my hope that continued interest will be manifested at the Town Meeting, when the needs of the Moth Department are considered. In con- cluding this report, I wish to thank your Honorable Board, the citizens of our Town, and the many persons who have so loyally co-operated with this Department.

~~Respectfully submitted,~~

~~ROSCOE G. PRATT, Moth Superintendent.~~

~~REPORT OF FOREST WARDEN~~

~~To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:~~

~~During 1940 we had only a few "fires in the woods." There was no property loss and the cost of extinguishment was comparatively small.~~

~~The people of Cohasset may take pride in this good record because most woods and grass fires are probably due to lack of care on the part of smokers in respect to matches and cigarettes.~~

Our parks and wooded areas help make our town attractive. A burned over area beside the road is a disfigurement which no one likes to see. Please be careful, therefore, to extinguish matches, cigarettes, etc., especially in seasons when the woods and grass are dry.

~~The care which people have exercised in controlling and extinguishing their picnic fires and burning leaves has been appreciated.~~

When you have papers to dispose of, have you an incinerator in a clear open space? Steel drum incinerators are most satisfactory and inex- pensive. Do not buy wire mesh incinerators which are not good because they permit burning papers to blow about.

~~Respectfully submitted,~~

~~GILBERT S. TOWER, Forest Warden.~~

~~124 Annual Report, Town of Cohasset, 1940~~

~~REPORT OF COHASSET FIRE DEPARTMENT~~

~~To the Honorable Board of Selectmen, Cohasset, Massachusetts~~

~~The Law requires the Fire chief "to annually report to the Town the condition of the Fire Department with his recommendations thereon."~~

Briefly, the Chief is glad to report that the Fire Department is in good condition. We have suflScient apparatus and equipment in generally good repair and we have an organization of good men working together. Fires are being extinguished promptly and with small loss.

~~We were fortunate in 1940 in not having many serious fires. Owners of several homes where fire occurred wrote kind letters of commendation which were appreciated.~~

Of course, there are many ways in which we are trying to improve our work of safe-guarding life and property. We are looking forward to greater perfection in the sciences of fire fighting and first aid by more study and drills. In the meantime the equipment has to be kept in repair and maintained.

This year the country is preparing for defense. Perhaps increased responsibilities may be placed upon the fire service. There seems to be no occasion yet for unusual preparedness, but it is felt that the department should at least be kept up to a good peace-time standard.

Our only recommendation is that something better than bells be provided for sounding alarms. We must have men to put out our fires. Our Call Firemen may be needed at any time, day or night. The bells often cannot be heard by the men, even those living close by, especially when the wind is blowing. Furthermore, the bells often do not ring due to snow, ice, and worn mechanisms.

A horn could be installed which need not have an unpleasant sound. Alarms of fire are so infrequent that the sound of a horn is not nearly as distracting as the telephone bell. If your house is afire, you want action, and then you are glad enough to hear the alarm.

It is recognized that the Town is not ready now to consider building a new central fire station much as it may be needed, so that no recommendation is made along that line. The fact remains, however, that parts of our fire alarm system are obsolete and need modernizing as soon as there is proper space in which to install up-to-date central station equipment. When the right time comes we believe that in the rear of the present station there is an excellent site for a new building.

The Chief wishes to assure the taxpayers that the money which the town appropriates for the Fire Department is being spent only for purposes that seem necessary to provide the service people want and to give home owners a feeling of security.

~~Respectfully submitted,~~

~~REPORT OF HIGHWAY SURVEYOR~~

~~Cohasset, Mass. January 27, 1941 To The Citizens of Cohasset:~~

Your Highway Surveyor's report for year ending December 31, 1940, is along the same routine as of previous years. The customary Spring work; —Cleaning gutters, catch basins, repair and painting fences, street marking, etc., were duly cared for.

~~There were 49,739 gallons of tarvia used. The various streets tarred includes Beach, Atlantic Ave., Margin, Elm, Summer, Border, Ripley Road, Forest Ave., Cedar, Lambert's Lane, Jerusalem Road.~~

A dressing commonly called "Hot Top" was put on a portion of South Main Street from Depot Court to top of Hancock Hill, Brook St. to and on Elm to South Main opposite Cohasset Hardware Store. The wearing quality of this material is assured for at least fifteen years. It has merited the favorable comment of those occupying adjacent property as well as many other citizens.

~~129 Annual Report, Town of Cohasset, 1940~~

Out of the general appropriation, the expense for removing a large part of ledge at junction of So. Main and Spring Streets opposite Library, widening of Spring St., and building new sidewalk was done. This much needed improvement assures greater safety to the public.

~~Again it is brought to your attention of many hazardous places that should be taken care of, thus making travel more safe.~~

~~I wish to thank our Town Officials for their generous co-operation, also to the many citizens for their helpful suggestions, which are always welcome.~~

~~Respectfully submitted,~~

~~WILLIAM T. BARNES, Highway Surveyor.~~

~~REPORT OF HEALTH DEPARTMENT~~

~~To the Citizens of Cohasset:~~

Clinics conducted last year included the usual Diphtheria Clinic for school and pre-school children, the Tuberculosis Test Clinic at the Osgood School, the monthly Well-Baby Clinic and the all year round program of the School Dental Clinic at the Ripley Road School.

In addition to these, two Clinics were conducted for the first time for the purpose of innoculating dogs against rabies, which in conjunction with a ninety day restraining order issued by the Board of Selectmen, resulted in the majority of the dogs of the Town being immunized. It is expected, because of the spread of rabies during the past few years, that these Clinics will be held annually.

The maintenance of brooks, ponds, streams, etc., was observed as in the past. At a cost of fifty dollars, a trap was installed in the catch-basin located in the center of the Town, resulting in the abatement of a nuisance that has existed for many years.

Contagious diseases reported in 1940 were as follows: Chicken Pox twenty-three. Measles twenty-nine, German Measles Two, Whooping Cough Two, Lobar Pneumonia one. Pulmonary Tuberculosis two and Diphtheria one.

~~The conduct of the affairs of the Town has proceeded during the past year without any unusual events.~~

~~Sergeant Frank Jason, after long years of faithful service in the Police Department, retired on pension and Patrolman Earl McArthur was pro- moted to fill the vacancy.~~

~~The improvements at the junction of Spring and South Main Streets have been completed in a very satisfactory manner.~~

Although the proposed Federal Plan for dredging Cohasset Harbor was included in the Rivers and Harbors Bill and passed by Congress the bill was vetoed by the President. This postpones for the present the improvement of the Harbor by Federal Project. We expect to get the co- operation of the Massachusetts Department of Public Works to do the necessary work on the Channel. If we are successful this work will be done on a 50.50 basis.

~~131 Annual Report, Town of Cohasset, 1940~~

The Cohasset Home has been leased to the Federal Government to be used as a training center by the National Youth Administration. Under the lease 25 boys from Cohasset will be allowed to attend the school, provided they qualify. Alterations made on the old blacksmith shop in the Parking Space have made this building into a very satisfactory three-car garage. It is being used by the Police Department. Full recovery has been made for the Town in the Town Dump matter and the case is closed. On Saturday, September 30th, 1940, Mr. Edward L. Stevens passed away. His loss was a heavy blow to the Town, he having faithfully and capably performed the duties of Town Accountant for many years. Malcolm H. Stevens was appointed to fill the vacancy.

~~The Christmas tree was erected this year in the square and we hope was satisfactory.~~

We wish to express our appreciation for the co-operation which we have received from not only all of the Department Heads but also from the citizens. It is your Town. Do not hesitate to bring your ideas in to us. We will welcome them all and comply with as many as we can.

~~REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN OF THE PAUL PRATT MEMORIAL LIBRARY~~

~~1940~~

~~To the Board of Directors of the Paul Pratt Memorial Library:~~

You will find in this report of the Librarian for 1940 no record of new activities throughout the year, but rather, of those carried on as usual, in which a little progress has been made here and there, so little, however, that nothing can be spoken of as definitely accomplished.

First of all, I should like to mention here the major needs of the library, as realized by the librarians, of which you, too, are aware. If they are not presented, who will know about them? If they are, then, perhaps, some person or group of persons may become interested in helping us find a way for them to materialize.

Without doubt, that of the most importance is a new lighting system throughout the building, which is already being considered. Other needs are, 1st a desk, modern in its equipment, so placed that there may be direct access to the shelves; this change would also improve service at the desk; 2nd additional shelving in the reading room and children's room, where, with sufl&cient shelfroom, glass doors which were removed some time ago could be replaced, making available once more in both rooms cabinets suitable for a collection of books which were once in the Social Library (1792) and for others which it seems desirable to preserve, and also for various exhibitions interesting to children. Plans for both of these improvements have already been submitted, but funds are lacking for their installation. It is felt that there should be more direct supervision of the children's room than can be given now, by one who, through training is suited for the work. This is the last need to be mentioned, but not the least.

~~Of course such improvements mean an outlay of money, but with the increasing use of the library, it seems reasonable that more e);pense in many ways is necessary if the standard is to be maintained.~~

~~139 —~~

~~Annual Report, Town of Cohasset, 1940~~

~~We shall continue to try to give the best service possible to our patrons, hoping that someday such changes as these will enable us to give better!~~

~~Several books which are not upon our shelves have been borrowed for our patrons, through the Inter-Library loan, and we have also made loans to other libraries.~~

~~An unusual number of books and magazines were forwarded to the American Merchant Marine Library, in response to its annual appeal for contributions for the Seamen's libraries.~~

In June Mrs. David A. Reed's portraits of young people were exhibited. Arrangements for the two exhibitions held later were made by the Art Com- mittee of the Cohasset Woman's Club and by one of the Discussion Clubs in November, portraits and paintings by Mary Evangeline Walker, and in December, WPA paintings were shown.

Garden Week, in April; Book Week, in November, and the Christmas holidays were simply observed with displays of books and the customary decorations. We are most grateful to Mrs. Daun and to Mr. Miller for their gifts of flowers for the two special Weeks. During Book Week the children of the fourth, fifth and sixth grades, with their teachers, visited the library. Our cordial thanks are again extended to the Cohasset Hard- ware Company for the privilege of displaying in their window many of the children's new books.

The Librarians have attended as many meetings of the State and local library clubs and the Round Table cf Children's Librarians as possible. It has been my pleasure to attend the weekly meetings of the Book Review- Club of Greater Boston at the Boston Public Library.

Miss Thayer, who has been an interested and willing substitute for several years, has been called away, temporarily, to care for others. We have been fortunate in securing the help of a High School pupil, who is doing good work. For a few weeks in the spring an NYA worker gave us much assistance with the particular bit of work we were then engaged in.

~~Book Stock~~

The Duplicate Pay Collection may quite properly be spoken of under this heading, since the books become "book stock" eventually. This collection is made up of new books, which as the name implies, are duplicates of those already in circulation and is provided for the convenience of those, who wish, by paying a small rental fee, to read the book a little sooner than to wait for the circulating copy. Of the nineteen books bought during the year, twelve have already been put upon the shelves as "copy 2" or have been sent to the Beechwood Branch Library.

The Librarian wishes to acknowledge, with thanks, all gifts of books, periodicals, pamphlets and maps which have been received during the year. Names of the donors will be more fully given at the end of this report, but special mention is made here of the gift of the Cohasset Dramatic Club, since it comprises 102 bound play books and books pertaining to the theatre, as well as over 100 paper back play books. This collection has been given to the library so that it may become available to everyone.

~~140 Annual Report, Town of Cohasset, 1940~~

Other gifts of books bring the number up to 180; 790 volumes have been bought, 18 being replacements; 30 volumes comprise those from the Duplicate Pay Collection, magazines bound, etc. These, together, make a total of 1,000 volumes added to the library this year. There have been 217 withdrawals, in which are included books not returned by the borrower and a few which have been missing from the shelves for two years. The net increase, then, is 783, making a total of 24,925 volumes, of which 23,390 are at the main library and 1,535 at the Beechwood Branch.

~~At the time of the reading of the shelves in the fall, several volumes were missing; some have been found and we hope that others may be located.~~

~~Work upon the Pamphlet File progresses slowly, new pamphlets being added from time to time.~~

~~Use of Library~~

The main library has been open 304 days, closing at six o'clock on only two occasions, — at the time of the heavy snowstorm in February and, as customary, on Christmas Eve. During these days 41,848 books were given out. At the Beechwood Branch Library, which is open Wed- nesdays and Saturdays only, there was a circulation of 4,203 books. The total circulation for the year, therefore, has been 46,051 volumes, an increase of 413 over that of last year. Since 1930, when the circulation was 24,511, there has been a steady increase, varying from 283 volumes in 1939 to 4,955 in 1932.

Miss Holman has charge of the deposits which are sent to the Ripley Road School each month from September to May, inclusive. For the first time, books for the Kindergarten and for the first, second and third grades are included in these. Thirteen boxes of books, about 250 in number, are sent to as many school rooms. We have felt a bit closer to the Osgood School this year, since many of the High School pupils have consulted lists provided by Miss Reed and Mr. Collins, in connection with their school work.

~~A collection of books is sent to the Beechwood Branch Library two or three times a year, whenever Miss Stoddard asks for them.~~

The number of persons using the library, and its Branch, as shown by the registration files, is 1,673, a decrease of 61 from that of last year. The reason for this, which is unusual, is that it seems advisable to withdraw names of persons who have been in town for only a short time. This year 307 persons have registered but there have been 368 names withdrawn.

While it is impossible to mention all individuals and business houses from whom leaflets, booklets and books have been received, we are grateful for their thought of us. To the friends whose names appear below, many of whom have given us magazines or books year after year, we extend especially sincere thanks:

Cohasset Dramatic Club, Mrs. Roger C. Hatch, Mrs. Thomas M. James, Mrs. Walter B. Binnian, Miss Margaret T. Kane, Mrs. HoUis T. Gleason, Mrs. Helen M. Fessenden, Miss Mary P. Tower, Mrs. Charles J. White, Henry E. W. Cunningham, Miss Helen M. Phillips, Mrs. Maurice W. Parker, Mrs. Emma L. Coleman, (whose gift was presented in memory of Mary L. WiUiams) Percy M. Hendrie, Mrs. Manual Silvia, Miss Ethel

~~Gentlemen~~

~~As Harbor Master of Cohasset I beg to submit the following report.~~

~~Our mooring capacity was filled at all times during the past summer, with great numbers of out-of-town yachts and pleasure boats of all kinds, as well as locally owned craft.~~

~~A new run-way was built to replace one which had been in poor condition.~~

~~ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD~~

~~TOWN OF COHASSET~~

In March 1940 Mr. Langford Warren was elected to the Planning Board to serve for a term of five years. The board for the year was therefore made up as follows: Dr. Burt M. Bristol Term Expires 1941 Frank J. Salvadore Term Expires 1942 Hugh Strain Term Expires 1943 Russell Dean Term Expires 1944 Langford Warren Term Expires 1945

~~At the first meeting of the Board Mr. Hugh Strain was elected chairman and Russell Dean was elected Secretary.~~

A number of meetings were held during the year and general problems were discussed. The Board examined the plans of a proposed sub-division on Pleasant Road which provided for a twelve foot road with no turn around. The board felt that suitable fire protection could not be given the houses to be built and suggested a wider roadway with some turn around facilities. The proposed sub-division was abandoned.

When the Planning Board was established by the town the provisions of sections 81F to 81J inclusive of chapter 41 of the general laws as amended by chapter 211 of the acts of 1936 were not specifically included in the vote and the board feels that these sections should be voted upon at the Town Meeting. An article has been inserted in the warrant covering this point.

Members of the Board have heard a good deal of conversation relating to the desirability of zoning laws for Cohasset. The powers of the Board as now set up and the powers of the Board if the sections referred to above are adopted do not give the Board authority to prevent undesirable subdivisions. The Board feels that if the majority of people v/ant some kind of zoning they are ready and anxious to co-operate to the fullest extent. The Board has been told that at least two independent groups contemplate in- serting articles in the warrant covering an approach to the problem of zoning and have therefore also inserted an article asking for an appropriation of five hundred dollars for the purpose of hiring an expert to assist them in the drafting of an adequate Zoning Law to be voted upon at the Town Meeting in March 1942. The services of the Board are available to the town if it be their desire to have this Board study and report on this problem.

~~REPORT OF AN AUDIT OF THE ACCOUNTS OF THE TOWN OF COHASSET~~

~~For the Year Ending December 31, 1940~~

~~DIRECTOR OF ACCOUNTS~~

~~February 8, 1941 To the Board of Selectmen Mr. Kendall T. Bates, Chairman Cohasset, Massachusetts~~

~~Gentlemen~~

r submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Cohasset for the year ending December 31, 1940, made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws. This is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. Herman B. Dine, Assistant Director of Accounts.

~~Very truly yours,~~

~~THEODORE N. WADDELL,~~

~~Director of Accounts.~~

~~Mr. Theodore N. Waddell Director of Accounts Department of Corporations and Taxation State House, Boston~~

~~Siri~~

In accordance with your instructions, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Cohasset for the year ending December 31, 1940, and' submit the following report thereon: .The financial transactions of the several departments receiving or dis- bursing money for the town, or committing bills for collection, were examined and checked.

The town accountant's ledger was examined and checked. General ledger accounts were compiled and the appropriation accounts were analyzed, the appropriations and transfers being checked with the town clerk's records of town meetings and with the records of the finance committee. A balance sheet, showing the financial condition of the town on December 31, 1940, was prepared and is appended to this report. This balance sheet indicates that the financial condition of the town is excellent.

The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The cash book additions were verified, and the recorded receipts were analyzed and compared with the records of the departments making payments to the treasurer. The payments by the treasurer were compared with the Selectmen's warrants authorizing the disbursement of town funds.

~~144 Annual Report, Town of Cohasset, 1940~~

The treasurer's cash balance on February 1, 1941, was proved by actual count of the cash in the office, by a reconciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks in which town funds are deposited, and by the verification of a deposit in transit. The recorded payments on account of maturing debt and interest were checked with the amounts falling due and with the cancelled securities on file. The savings bank books and securities representing the investment of the trust funds in the custody of the tov/n treasurer, the treasurer of the trustees of the Cohasset Free Public Library, and the treasurer of the Paul Pratt Memorial Library, were examined and listed. The income and disbursements were proved, the transfers to the town were verified, and the balances were found to be as reported. The tax title deeds on hand were listed and the am.ounts transferred to the tax title account were verified. The reported redemptions were checked with the receipts as recorded on the treasurer's cash book, and the tax titles on hand were listed and proved. The books and accounts of the tax collector were examined and checked. The tax accounts outstanding according to the previous examination were audited, and all subsequent commitments of taxes were proved. The cash books were footed and the recorded collections were compared with the payments to the treasurer. The abatements, as recorded, were checked v/ith the assessors' record of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved. The records of departmental accounts receivable committed for collection were examined and checked. The recorded receipts were checked with the payments to the treasurer, the abatements, as recorded, were compared with the records in the departments authorized to grant abatements, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved. The outstanding tax and departmental accounts were verified by mail- ing notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, and from the replies received thereto it appears that the accounts, as listed, are correct. The financial accounts of the town clerk were examined. The records of dog and sporting licenses issued were checked, the payments to the State being verified with the receipts on file and the payments to the town treasurer being compared with the treasurer's cash book. The records of licenses and permits issued by the selectmen and the police and health departments were examined and checked, and the payments to the town treasurer were verified.

The surety bonds filed by the town officials for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form. In addition to the accounts mentioned, the records of all other departments collecting money for the town were examined and checked. There are appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's and the collector's cash, summaries of the tax, tax title, and departmental accounts, and tables showing the condition and transactions of the trust funds. For the cooperation extended by the several town officials during the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express appreciation. Respectfully submitted, HERMAN B. DINE, HBD:FC Assistant Director of Accounts.

~~REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE~~

~~To the Citizens of Cohasset:~~

Your committee has devoted a great deal of time this past year to maintenance and repair problems in both school buildings. The Osgood School building and its equipment is old and requires repair and replacement of equipment each year. We have endeavored to spread this work in such a way as to make it bear as lightly as possible on the taxpayer.

The Ripley Road School, although practically new, offers problems of maintenance because of faulty construction. For example, it was necessary to add beams and Lally columns beneath the toilets to support sagging floors before the tilers could repair cracks in the tile. The capstones on the facade at the front of the building had to be removed and copper sheathing placed under them, and a considerable amount of repointing of brick was necessary before interior painting could be done. Cheap roof construction made extensive repairs advisable.

~~There is still a good deal of interior painting to do in this building, but the program spreads it over the next three years.~~

The volume of business of our school lunchrooms showed a large increase in 1940. The sum of |3280 was taken for lunches at both schools, and this amount was returned to the Treasury. Efforts have been made to cut food costs by quantity buying, and for 1941 a larger serving of food will be possible at no increased cost to pupils through the use of Surplus Foods, which we have arranged to requisition from the government.

Dr. Howard Reid was granted a leave of absence for service with the United States Army, and Dr. Frederick Hinchliffe has been appointed to take his place. It is our aim to increase the co-ordination in health work between physician, nurse, classroom, physical education teachers, and home, and to make the examination of pupils increasingly educational in character.

~~The Girl Scouts, under the guidance of Mrs. George Benedict, are equip- ping and decorating a room on the third floor of the Osgood School for use as a physician's oJB&ce within the school.~~

~~4 Annual Report, Town of Cohasset, 1940~~

Cohasset is very nearly alone in southeastern Massachusetts as a town which has hesitated to erect a modern building to house its High School and Junior High School. The Committee feels that the citizens of Cohasset should consider in the near future a modern replacement for its fifty-year- old building.

~~We wish to thank the school officials, teachers, employees, and the members of the Parent-Teacher Association for their co-operation with the Committee.~~

~~Respectfully submitted, COHASSET SCHOOL COMMITTEE.~~

~~REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS~~

~~To the School Committee and Citizens of Cohasset:~~

There has been a slight increase in the enrollment of our schools for the 1940-41 school year. The enrollment on October 1, 1940 was 584, as against 571 on October 1, 1939. As was the case last year, the increase is due to an enlarged kindergarten enrollment. This made it necessary to place an assistant in the kindergarten room with Miss McMahon. The enrollment figures do not, however, give a true picture of the kindergarten, as when the colder weather approaches, the kindergarten attendance drops so that the average number of pupils in attendance during the colder months of the year will be in the neighborhood of thirty-five.

Mrs. Marguerite Ripley resigned as teacher of the Remedial Reading classes in the elementary school in September, and Miss Catherine T. Heaney was chosen to replace her. Miss Heaney has prepared profes- sionally for this type of work, and the results of the Remedial Reading teaching appear in reading achievement tests, regularly given. Children needing individual remedial reading instruction were selected, and grouped according to the results shown after administering the "Master Achieve- ment Test in Reading," published by the American Education Press. There are forty-two slow readers, and they are grouped in seven six-pupil classes. The classes are formed of pupils of common capacity, like limitations, and with similar reading handicaps. Individual instruction is given where the need is obvious.

There has been an unusually large turnover of teachers in our school system. Those teachers who resigned were: Miss Eva Burbine, English teacher in the seventh and eighth grades; Miss Dorothea Houghton, grade one; Miss Alice Lebbossiere, grade four; Mrs. Marguerite Ripley, Remedial Reading. The following appointments were made by the committee: Miss Laura Leonard, English assistant in the high school to the position left vacant by Miss Burbine; Miss Alice E. Stewart, English assistant; Miss Elizabeth C. Conley, grade four; Miss Catherine T. Heaney, Remedial Reading. Miss Florence Ayers was added to the staff as the regular instructor of physical education. Mr. Otis Jason received a leave of absence for military service, and his place has been taken provisionally by Mr. Joseph F. O'Brien. Annual Report, Town of Cohasset, 1940

~~SCHOOL ATTENDANCE~~

No pupil can expect to do good school work whose attendance is poor. Parents must recognize the importance of regular school attendance if their children are to successfully complete their courses. The school requires a written excuse from the parent for the absence of the child. More frequently than not, these excuses sent to the teacher fail to carry the date of absence, and the reason for the absence. It is necessary that the school have a complete excuse for the protection of the parent, child and school. School work should definitely be regarded as a job, and the parents' co- operation is necessary in order to fix its importance in the mind of the child. REPAIRS

A program of painting in the Ripley Road building was found to be inadvisable until certain fundamental improvements in the building were made. Engineers diagnosed the leakage of water into several rooms to be not the result of leaks in the roof alone, but to seepage through the capstones and brickwork of the facade.

The Finance Committee was asked for the sum of $658.00 to make these repairs, and the painting of two classrooms and hallways was completed. The plan for redecoration in the Ripley Road school should include four classrooms each year. The auditorium, which is used as a school playroom during the winter months, and as a community hall to a considerable extent, is sadly in need of painting. The staging required for the work on the ceiling makes this an expensive project, and, unfortunately, the entire cost is charged to education. The chairs, owned by the town and not the school, are in disgraceful condition. It would be as cheap to buy new ones, however, as to scrape and varnish them.

~~The cupola on the Ripley Road building was rebuilt and the entire woodwork of the exterior painted.~~

~~The fire-escapes of the Osgood School were chipped, wire-brushed and painted.~~

There is constant maintenance work required in a building as old as the Osgood School, and much of this is difficult to foresee. A painting job on the exterior for the summer of 1941 is absolutely necessary. The tarvia area about the building has been enlarged, and a catchbasin installed to properly drain the yard on the easterly side. The flat roof over the typewriting room has been almost entirely replaced.

~~ACTIVITIES~~

Vocational guidance work, under the direction of Mr. Burditt Collins, has been considerably extended. A series of Vocational Interest tests are planned for the coming spring, and our library of guidance material pro- vides up-to-date information on over two hundred different types of work, from Accounting to Taxidermy.

~~The Camera Club is enthusiastic and active, and its members have shown a readiness to add equipment to the dark room at their own expense, something that is as usual as it is pleasing.~~

~~"The Piper", our annual, enlists the efforts of a large number of pupils, and the work of the photography club is combined with journalism. :~~

~~Annual Report, Town of Cohasset, 1940~~

A small group of students is accompanied by a teacher to the Youth Concerts in Boston once each month, and we have been fortunate in being able to get more than our quota of tickets for those interested.

Fifty films were shown in classrooms from January to June, but due to lack of funds, our contract was not renewed in September. A film program will be developed as a classroom aid this coming spring. Our projector uses only silent film, and as most of the new teaching films are being made with sound track, we find ourselves somewhat handicapped. Prac- tically all the splendid, new, free films loaned by manufacturers can be used only on a sound projector. Next year, perhaps, we may be able to purchase a modern machine.

The Parent-Teacher Association has been active and enthusiastic. Each month a very worthwhile meeting has been held, and the Association raised by a whist party the sum of $35.00 to add to the school's scholarship award.

~~It has been a pleasure to work with the Committee, and to the teachers and employees, I tender my grateful acknowledgment of their loyalty and willing spirit.~~

~~Respectfully submitted, JAMES W. DOYLE, SUPT.~~

~~Annual Report, Town of Cohasset, 1940~~

~~REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE RIPLEY ROAD SCHOOL~~

~~Mr. James W. Doyle~~

~~Superintendent of Schools~~

~~Dear Sir~~

It is difficult to decide which of the many activities carried on during the school year is the most important and worthy of mention. I shall explain a few of these activities in which the parents and general public seem interested.

Two thirds of the pupils at the Ripley Road School are bus pupils. This means that about two hundred children stay at school during the noon hour. Many buy a complete lunch at the counter or a hot dish, milk or cocoa to supplement a lunch brought from home. The supervision of the pupils during the lunch hour requires the assistance of practically the entire teaching force. Teachers supervise the pupils eating in the classrooms, serve ice cream in the lunch room, take the money for lunches bought, and two are on the playground every noon hour. During the cold winter months of the year the outdoor playtime at noon is shorter than it is during warm weather. Children have the tendency to eat their lunches as quickly as possible in order to have more time to play. By taking away some of the outdoor playtime and adding it to the time for eating lunches, this haste has been lessened. Pupils eat more leisurely and neatly and seem to enjoy the sociability of eating together which was not so apparent when it was their desire to be among the first on the playground.

There is teacher supervision on the playground at all recesses. In spite of this constant attempt to anticipate and thus prevent mishaps, accidents occasionally occur; rarely a serious one. These accidents are few and of a minor nature, however, compared to those suffered by children outside of school hours. It is not uncommon for pupils to come to school with sprained or broken arms in slings, with bad burns or cuts which need attention, or with various other bruises suffered while playing at home, through no one's fault or neglect.

~~I mention this only to emphasize that such accidents that occur at school cannot be avoided even with careful supervision.~~

Our new reading system has proven to be very successful and the results of the year's work most satisfactory. The text books and work books to supplement them were put into the second grades in September and when the system is extended to the third grades as it will be next Sep- tember, we shall have a very sound, basic system which, we hope, will re- duce the number of rem.edial reading pupils. The reading specialist, employed by the Gates Reading System's Publishing Company, visited us several times during the year, observed the reading classes of the first and second grades, held conferences with the teachers and gave them her excellent advice and assistance. Every teacher realizes more and more that no matter what grade she teaches cr how many pupils are in her class, the children are not and cannot be at the same level of learning. In no subject is this so true as in reading, and the teacher, realizing this, knows that regardless of grade designation the child's instruction must go on from where he is as an in-

~~11 Annual Report, Town of Cohasset, 1940~~

dividual. This understanding calls for careful and thoughtful rating of the child's progress. If the pupil has progressed as efficiently and as rapidly as his own intellectual, emotional and social background permits, he has done his best and his accomplishment should not be compared with that of another child with entirely different abilities and background. Teachers consider these differences when marking a child's report card and assigning his work.

In May, the Gates Strong Health Knowledge Tests, prepared at Col- umbia University were given to grades four, five and six. We have given achievement tests of various kinds before, but this was the first time that standard health tests were given. The tests were very practical and with the present lack of uniformity in health instruction everywhere, the test- ing helped us to determine the health knowledge status of our pupils. A study of the specific errors showed us the kind of health knowledge in which individuals or groups were lacking, and plans were made to strengthen the weak spots in our health program as indicated by the results of these tests. During the year, each grade planned a program as the final activity of a unit of work which had extended over a period of several weeks, to which the parents were invited. This program is an important part of the unit because it is the means of attracting the parents' attention to a particular part of our regular classroom work. Special invitations also, were sent home in November, inviting parents to visit us during Education Week. Many parents do visit our school at these times and we feel that every visit benefits the child. I wish to urge parents not to wait for a special invi- tation or occasion, however, but to come in at any time, to observe the work and to become better acquainted with the aims and regulations of our school system.

~~Respectfully submitted,~~

~~HELEN L. BROWN.~~

~~REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF BOYS' ATHLETICS~~

~~Mr. James W. Doyle,~~

~~Superintendent of Schools~~

Dear Sir: During 1940 the following organized sports were a part of the extra- curricular activities of the Junior-Senior High School: High School Baseball High School Football High School Track Junior Baseball Junior Football When Milliken Field became available for use in May, an excellent field for baseball, football and track was afforded the high school teams. This proved a stimulating factor in the interest in these sports, especially in track which had been conducted hitherto without local interscholastic competition being possible.

~~The school physician has continued his close supervision of the physical condition of the boys engaging in athletics.~~

~~12 Annual Report, Town of Cohasset, 1940~~

The financial support for our program comes chiefly from the school appropriation and is only partially self supporting, a condition which is the reverse from that of most of the nearby towns. Adverse weather and other conditions lowered our anticipated revenue this year; hence, I feel we must make a greater eflEort in the future to raise the revenue of the Athletic Association or a curtailment of our program must follow.

~~Respectfully submitted,~~

~~WILLIAM RIPLEY, JR.~~

~~REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF ART~~

~~January 1941 Mr. James W. Doyle,~~

~~Superintendent of Schools:~~

~~Dear Sir:~~

~~The annual report of the Art Department is hereby submitted.~~

The enrollment in the High School art classes reached eighty-five in September, with a drop in the number of students taking mechanical drawing, probably due to the fact that the freshman class has a preponderance of girls, who are not so likely to be interested in this subject. In a school system of our size we find a very small percentage who have artistic talent that is outstanding. In our course we attempt to make art live for all students. Toward this end we labor to instill into each individual a love for the beautiful, and to teach him to value the fine things and to differentiate between that which is fine and that which is ugly or mediocre. This we try to do partly by creative work in crayon, paint, pastel, linoleum block, and other mediums.

Some excellent work in creative drawing and in the recording of ex- periences, as well as in story illustrating is being done in the lower grades. Children are encouraged to draw at the easel, and are even to be found working with crayons on very large paper with the floor serving as an easel. This occurs when the whole group works on large paper at the same time. The splendid co-operation of Miss Brown and the teachers of the Ripley Road School is much appreciated.

~~A small exhibition of Junior High and High School drawing, sewing, and manual training was held in the Osgood School in May in connection with a meeting of the Parent-Teacher Association.~~

~~We wish to thank you and the members of our school committee for friendly and helpful co-operation.~~

~~Respectfully submitted,~~

~~INDUSTRIAL ARTS DEPARTMENT~~

~~January 28, 1941~~

~~Mr. James W. Doyle Superintendent of Schools~~

Dear Sir: There have been no radical changes in the set-up or the functions of the Industrial Arts Department in the past year. The dominant aims of the program have often been stated in detail in reports of other years. Pro- ducts of the woodwork shop and the printing room have found their way into many homes in the town, so that most of our citizens have a fair knowledge about the educational value of our Industrial Arts Department. We cannot, with our limited equipment and program, train boys for a particular trade.

It is frequently stated that there is equality of opportunity for education in the United States. The law requires that preparation for college be provided in our High Schools. There is room in our colleges for all who can meet the entrance requirements and have the necessary funds available. There is no equality of opportunity for those who are best fitted for industrial occupations, because there are not enough Trade Schools to admit the numbers of boys who hope to enter. The Trade School at Weymouth had to refuse admittance to fifty boys last fall. Of these fifty some will bring their formal education to an abrupt end, others will enter their respec- tive High Schools and probably take the commercial course. Some of these will drop out before graduation, and many of those graduating will not find placement in commercial work because it is not their natural field of service and business cannot absorb all the commercial graduates. If they apply for work at an industrial plant they are confronted by a sign reading, "Unskilled Labor Not Wanted" or a similar notice. This tragedy is enacted all over the country and accounts in part for the large numbers of young men who cannot be advantageously placed, or have resorted to crime and also for the lack of skilled labor sorely needed to speed up our defense program and in general industry. If more Trade Schools had been opened all over the country in past years an abundant supply of skilled labor would now be available.

The National Youth Administration has taken over the Cohasset Poor Farm property on Pond Street. It will open as a "Residence Training Cen- ter" and provide from three to five months instruction to men eighteen to twenty-four years of age, to furnish at least partly trained men to industry. This school is not a Trade School and does not provide for the boys fourteen to eighteen years of age.

If the town can afford to furnish preparation for those planning to enter college which is about ten per cent of our school population, is it fair to hold that it cannot afford to provide adequate industrial training for about thirty-three per cent of our school population? I belive that a Trade School for the district including Cohasset is a necessity, and if provided, will be used to capacity and prove its value as a long needed institution.

~~Respectfully submitted. M. H. MEYER.~~

~~14 Annual Report, Town of Cohasset, 1940~~

~~REPORT OF THE HOME ECONOMICS DEPARTMENT~~

~~January 1941 Mr. James W. Doyle~~

~~Superintendent of Schools~~

Dear Sir: A brief report of the Home Economics department for the past year is submitted for your approval and acceptance. The same general program has been followed as in previous years, a few necessary changes being made.

It is no longer considered a mark of distinction to be unable to use one's hands for constructive work and since the present day world needs m.en and v-omen who are not afraid of work, the boys and girls of school age must be trained to do their part.

The girls are receiving some of this training in their Home Economics courses. The aims of the cooking department, stated briefly, are to teach the fundamental principles of cooking in theory and practice, efficiency and economy in handling food materials, the food requirements of the body and how they are best supplied to develop strong and healthy individuals.

The sewing courses teach the making and use of stitches, the use of patterns and the sewing machine and their application in making simple garments. The care and repair of clothing is taught, and patching and darning of various kinds.

~~In the upper grades this course includes knitting and crocheting, arts which produce many useful and attractive articles and provide occupation for leisure time.~~

Fifteen cents will buy an adequate lunch and we stiU urge that more pupils avail themselves of the opportunity to buy a hot lunch or to supplement lunches brought from home, too many of these home lunches are thrown into the waste baskets. The daily menu always includes soup, a main dish, a salad, a vegetable, two kinds of sandvnches, dessert, milk and cocoa, prices range from three cents to ten cents.

~~In July, Miss Lillian Enos and Miss Mary Enos spent a week at Fitchburg Teachers' College, taking the course in lunch room work conducted by the State Department.~~

~~In closing I wish to express my appreciation to you and the School Committee for your cooperation and helpful attitude toward this department.~~

~~Respectfully submitted,~~

~~HELEN C. WELCH.~~

~~REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC~~

~~Mr. James W. Doyle, Superintendent Cohasset School Department Cohasset, Massachusetts~~

~~Dear Mr. Doyle:~~

I believe this is the sixteenth annual report I have written as Music supervisor. Each report has mentioned specific details of Music education in Cohasset Schools. I often wonder why I write a report, who reads the report and what definite purpose it serves, for I have yet to receive any comment, suggestion or questions pertaining to music as a result of the report.

You as superintendent are close to the work, the school committee is informed, therefore, I assume I am writing to the townspeople, especially parents of school children, so will outline the music work accordingly.

~~GRADES 1-2-3~~

The first three grades constitute a period when every child is potentially a Lily Pons, Kreisler or Paderewski. It is assumed that each child possesses abundant talent worthy of development. This is the period of unfolding the native musical ability of each child. All children like to sing. It is a natural trait and during the early grades a whole hearted response to music is evidenced.

~~GRADES 4-5-6~~

The above grades constitute the period of training, when music reading, music fundamentals, and the necessary technical requirements of time and pitch are taught and practiced. It is in general the period of music assim- ilation.

~~GRADES 7-8~~

The period of production. These grades should find every pupil well equipped to use all the training received during the preceding grades. These two grades also constitute the most critical period in Music education. It is the time of changing voices, of influence from outside sources (radio, movies) and the period when the determining of inherent ability is complete.

What is to determine the status of pupils at this period? Should they receive special help? Should they discontinue music? Has a pupil a keen sense or a poor sense of music? Has the pupil shown ability or not?

~~To meet the problems outlined above. I have adopted the Seashore tests which are given as a survey of progress and pupil ability.~~

~~HOW SPECIFIC MUSICAL TALENTS CAN BE MEASURED~~

~~Musical minds dififer vastly in kind and degree of talent. Some of the fundamental talents can be measured scientifically before Musical education begins.~~

~~16 Annual Report, Town of Cohasset, 1940~~

The Seashore Measures of Musical Talents are based on a scientific analysis of musical hearing, appreciation, and performance. They deal with basic elements which function in all music and are essential for hearing and learning of music. They are simple and economical in operation and fit naturally into the musical program. They aid in the discovery of talent and in an analysis of difficulties in training. These Measures have been in use for twenty years, and there has been a steady growth in their recognition by musicians, educators, and scientists. These tests have already proven their value in grades seven and eight. '*» general, the pupils in these grades rated well above average.

DIVISION OF PUPILS Non-musical pupils need careful treatment. These pupils should not be entirely excluded from music, but in the music classes the non-musical pupil becomes musically discouraged or a disciplinary problem. A solution to this situation is for non-musical pupils to drop further technical training and be given an opportunity to sing songs of the community song type in music assemblies. I consider the monthly assembly sing an essential part of music training. HIGH SCHOOL

~~The period of achievement. The study and performance of a program of music each year. Familiarity with choral music of higher grade. FOR HEARING BETTER MUSIC~~

~~I have purchased a portable phonograph and invite pupils to join me in listening to fine music. The response to date is most gratifying. SUMMARY To parents:~~

As mentioned in the first part of this report. I am writing to you. Is your child excused from music? If so I urge you to talk with me. We have splendid opportunities in music for all pupils "willing to receive it." Home recognition of the value of good music, and encouragement in the partici- pation in school music are vital factors in pupil responsiveness. For all the co-operation from my fellow-teachers I express sincere appreciation. Respectfully submitted, FREDERICK A. TAYLOR, Supervisor of Music.

~~REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN~~

~~Mr. James W. Doyle Superintendent of Schools~~

~~Dear Sir: The health of the school during the school year 1940-41 has been very satisfactory, with contagious diseases at a minimum. The pupils of the~~

~~17 Annual Report, Town of Cohasset, 1940~~

Ripley Road and the Osgood Schools have been given a modified physical examination, defects noted and parents notified when necessary. Further details as to number of pupils examined will be found in the report of the school nurse. Respectfully submitted, FREDERICK HINCHLIFFE, M.D., School Physician.

~~REPORT OF SCHOOL NURSE Mr. James W, Doyle Superintendent of Schools~~

Dear Sir: No. of pupils taken home during school hours for illness or accident ... 48 No of home visits pertaining to absence and health of pupils 55 No. of pupils taken to office of school or family physician 8 No. of home visits for family history of pupils examined by psychiatrist 10 No. of "Follow Up" visits on absence and notices sent parents 35 No. of pupils given Tuberculin Test in Grades 9 and 11 45 No. of pupils re-acting to Test 5 No. of pupils X-rayed (including repeats of previous years) 13 No. of pupils examined by County Physician 1 No. of Active cases of T. B

The teachers of both schools were given an opportunity for a Chest X-ray at this time. A pre-school clinic was held on May 14, 1940. Twenty-five children attended. A physical examination was made by Dr. Reid, and a dental examination by the School Dentist. Recommendations were made to the parents at this time. A nutritionist from the State Department was also present, and interviewed the mothers. The majority of pupils attending the Ripley Road School have been innoculated to prevent against Diphtheria, and for this reason only eight (8) school children attended the Joint Clinic held at Legion Hall in 1940 for School and pre-school children.

A physical examination of every pupil is made each year by the School Physician and notices of defects are sent to parents. Pupils with poor posture are referred to the physical education instructor for corrective exercises.

Text books on Health are used in all the grades of the Ripley Road School and several of the teachers have taken special courses in Health Work this last year. We have no special room for Health Work at the Ripley Road School. At the Osgood School we are now using one on the top floor which is being conveniently equipped by the Girl Scouts. The cause of most absence among the younger children is the common cold which seems a little difficult to control. However, most of the absence for illness has been of short duration. The teachers are very co-operative with the Health Program. Respectfully submitted, FANNY E. JAMES, School Nurse.
