REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN Meriam Street. Late in 1964 when the Hunt Block changed hands the Board of Selectmen felt this was an ideal time to see what could be done to accom- plish what the town had been working toward for over thirty years. The Board of Selectmen contacted the new owners of the building, The 1775 Realty Trust, December 31, 1964 to see if an agreement could be reached that was fair to all parties concerned, the town as well as the property owners, The Board feels that the widening of To the Citizens of Lexington: Massachusetts Avenue is essential to the continued growth of the business dis- The year 1964 has been one of continued growth for Lexington.

The Board would like to report. stress in this report that the initiative on this project came from the Board of Selectmen and no one else. This is too important to the welfare of the town to The Route 3 Committee headed by Selectmen Robert Cataldo met period- be put off to another time. ically with the State Department of Public Works to keep abreast of the progress being made relative to the extension of Route 3. Respectfully submitted,
The Town Dump on Lincoln Street was closed and the Sanitary Land Fill LINCOLN P. COLE, JR., Chairman operation put into full operation on Hartwell Avenue. New regulations for the LEVI G. BURNELL Sanitary Land Fill were adopted by the Board of Selectmen. OTIS 5. BROWN, JR. ROBERT CATALDO The Board of Selectmen, early in January, appointed the members of the GEORGE C. SHELDON newly created Conservation Commission,
The Board appointed during the year a " Human Relations Study Commit- tee." This committee was to report back to the Board of Selectmen on the need, if any, of establishing a permanent " Human Relations Commission."
The Board is deeply concerned over the finances of the town and the im- pact of proposed projects over the next five years. A Financial Study Commit- tee was appointed to study the impact of proposed capital projects for the next five years as well as the possible increase in operating cost over the same pe- riod. The Financial Study Committee was to report back to the Board of Select- men early in 1965, the report to be available before the Annual Town Meeting.
The Tong -range planning of the town has had as an integral part, the widen- ing of Massachusetts Avenue through the Center. This was evident in 1930 when a building line was established through what was then the O' Connell prop- erty. This is further supported by a report made to the Town Meeting when the old fire station was taken down. It anticipated that this land could be used in an exchange when Massachusetts Avenue was widened. In 1960 the Town Meeting authorized the Board of Selectmen to enter into an agreement with Joseph Trani, Inc. regarding building damages for the line which had been es- tablished through the Trani building. In 1961 an agreement was entered into which actually set a limit on the building damage due when Massachusetts Avenue was widened. In 1964 Town Meeting authorized a land exchange with the Minute Man Realty to accomplish the widening from Depot Square to 45 46 TOWN CLERK

Our dormant and summer spraying was done with our own crew. Our hy- draulic sprayer was used in hard to reach places. The mist blower was used where range and height was the most important consideration, such as parks, playgrounds, cemeteries and swamp areas. In addition to tree spraying, we also sprayed the dump by hand at regular intervals, to prevent the breeding of cock- roaches, flies, etc. We answered many requests to spray poison ivy on public and private property during the summer. We have been doing herbicide spray- ing for the control of weeds growing up through sidewalks.
Removing and Pruning Trees: During the year we pruned approximately 117 trees of different varieties excluding elms. Street construction was respon- sible for the removal of about 45 trees. Most of these were removed by private contractors. We cut approximately 22 stumps below the grade with our stump cutter. This machine has proved to be an invaluable tool in the removal of these unsightly objects.
Dutch Elm Disease: A great deal of time was spent trying to control the Dutch Elm Disease which is showing improvement on public trees. This is a fungus disease that spread to the United States from Europe, between 1920 and 1930. Since that time it has spread and destroyed many valuable trees on pub- lic and private property. This year we have pruned 123 trees. This is one of the best ways of controlling the disease because the Dutch EIm Disease Bark Beetle enters through dead wood. The Shade Tree Division also removed 75 dead elm trees on private property because they were a source of spreading the disease. These were trees that could not be tested because live wood has to be present in order to get a positive test.

In 1964, major federal and state legislative actions occurred which can have a marked effect on Lexington' s open space program. The federal land and water conservation act, and the State act removing the ceiling on State aid, were passed and signed. It appeared that increasing effectiveness was being achieved in the attempts, through legislative action at all levels of government, to preserve and conserve natural resources, including open space. Such action has resulted from rising pressure brought upon legislators by people with an awakened sensitivity to the ugliness which often masquerades as progress, and to the necessity for conservation action.
The Commission has noted that extensive coveraoe was given by the mass news media to conservation problems similar to those of Lexington. Radio, television, big city newspapers, and national magazines, in addition to local news media, participated. The mail included such clippings from newspapers, sent by observant and interested citizens; the Commission is grateful for such help. Several articles in the real estate sections of the Boston and New York newspapers emphasized the enlightened developer' s recognition that per- manently preserved open space within or next to a development increases the demand for units within that development.
The Commission welcomes all citizens at its meetings, and invites sug- gestions from landowners, neighborhood groups, and all others interested.

Curriculum development has been one of the most significant activities in PRO ucT : _ - j POLICIES the Lexington schools.

Stability is, in part, achieved through a curriculum desgin which out- lines the objectives for each subject area from grades one through twelve for all Lexington schools.
It is also achieved through a definition of the entire process from the development stage to the final payoff in teacher and pupil growth.

As Lexington' s population increases and and creasingly aware of their responsibility to continually provide citizens with availability decreases, it will become increasingly difficult to secure additional information about the goals, programs and needs of their schools. Each citizen school sites. has a very important stake in the public schools within his community. No other institution is offered the most receptive learning years of a child' s life. It is important that we begin now to acquire enough sites for the school buildings which will be needed at land saturation. Superintendents have an obligation to help the public understand how these precious years are being used. The adoption of a formal school information program with a full -time director will result in an increase in the flow of school information to the public.
The following statements from the credo of this program describe our com- mitment to this important activity:
WE BELIEVE THAT: 1. One of the major purposes of the school information program is to raise the level of public understanding about the schools. Public education is a creature of the public and requires public support to improve its educational offerings.
2. Laymen have the capacity to understand educational problems and have the good judgment, when fully informed, to come to conclu- sions which will be in the best interests of the children.
3. Information about the schools should help the public to identify and understand efforts to solve these problems.
4. The welfare of children should be the focus of the program. A good program is concerned with the optimum development of all children in all schools.
We shall use every available media and technique to keep citizens informed about their schools. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 309 310 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT

During the last hundred and fifty years linguists, the scientists of language, have determined facts about the structure and operation of the English language that students will find useful as they develop the ability to listen, speak, read and write effectively. In the Lexington Language Arts program teachers use the knowledge of the facts determined by the linguists to plan lessons that will help the students discover the principles upon which the set of approved conventions are developed for the standard use of their language.
One sees first or second grade children carrying things to school to " show" and " tell" others. Standards for courteous listening are developed by the group and children gain confidence in speaking. Another activity carried on by these younger children is the development of a " News of the Day," chart. The teacher writes the sentences given on either a chalkboard or large chart paper. Children copy the " news." Here children begin to discover the relationship between oral and written forms. They discover that sentences begin with capital letters and end with periods. Later, after much practice, charts with rules for capitalization and punctuation are begun. These charts are expanded throughout the years to be used by the children to proof -read their own written work. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 317 318 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT

The students who come into the program are typically antagonistic toward school and teachers. A major problem is to convince these half the school day, during which they teach according to whatever schedule has been devised for the day during a planning period. This planning period, students that the teacher is a partner in the enterprise of learning and not an part of the allotted block of time each day, frees the instructor from other adult critic. A primary task of the tenth grade program is to reorient new teaching duties and allows the grade level teachers to plan work together; the students through counseling and to convince them that they have a chance to be academically successful. If this can be done, there is hope that indi- coordination of course presentations, the grouping of the students, the length of time needed for the activities of the day.

Unfortunately, this is not always possible because of previous negative attitudes used to discuss problems relating to the Program by the team, to engage in conferences with students, and as the need arises, to confer with parents of about learning. Essentially, what the staff tries to do is create a feeling of hope in the individual, a sense of his own worth which can grow into self - those students involved in the Program.

IN APPRECIATION
It is obvious from the preceding discussion that a great portion of this year was spent in curriculum development. None of these activities and programs could have been conducted without the efforts of our professional staff. They have spent many hours in committee meetings and individual study to improve educational opportunities for Lexington children. Their efforts are sincerely appreciated.
During this year Manfred Warren and Miss Margaret Leake, who have given thirty -six and thirty -one years, respectively, to the youth of Lexington, retired from teaching. Miss Regina McKenna, Mrs. Mary Neville and James Boisseau died after serving a total of forty-two years in Lexington.
This service and dedication to education are an example for those of us who are privileged to work with children.
In closing, I wish to express my sincere appreciation for the cooperation, understanding and support given me by the school committee, all of the school personnel, town officials, parents and citizens in carrying out my responsibilities as superintendent of your public schools.
Respectfully submitted,
