>SCs. PROGRESS REPORT FROM THE OFFICE OF THE SELECTMEN
We respectfully submit to the citizens of New- market a summary of the projects undertaken during the past year.
The work at the Town Hall has advanced to a point where we are able to report that the public toilet facilities, located in the basement of the Town Hall, are now a reality. The Police Department has been moved from the first floor to the basement. The area used by the Police Department consists of a new cell block, private office for the Chief of Police and office space for the officer on duty.
The Record Storage area has been fire proofed and heated.
The Court Room is still in the construction stage, but is advanced enough to be used for committee meetings and is also used for our Selectmen's meet- ings.
A sidewalk and curb has been installed along the main street sections of the public parking lot.
The widening and surfacing of New Road has been started and we are able to report that approxi- mately six tenths of a mile has been completed.
The junction of Elm and Main Streets has been rebuilt in cooperation with the State Highway De- partment. We have decided to make Central St. a one way street. The proper signs have been ordered and will be installed on arrival. Traffic will be able to enter Central St. from Spring St. only.
The Old Dump Lot on Beech Street extension has been purchased and plans are now being formulated for the construction of a public works equipment storage building.
Our regular meetings are held on the 1st and 3rd
Tuesdays of every month ; all meetings are open to the public and we welcome your attendance. We take this time to thank all Town Officers and Citizens for their help in making this past years work a more pleasant and gainful task.

The radio receiver and transmitter installed in the police cruiser last July is a vital piece of equip- ment to a community such as ours, where the extent of our service is limited. This police radio enables us to be in direct contact with State Police headquarters in Concord 24 hours a day, and in a matter of min- utes we are in a position to summon aid in any emer- gency that may confront us. We have had a noticeable increase in requests by property owners in the past year for periodical in- spection of their homes while they go on vacation, etc. We have had cards printed to post vacant places and printed slips showing date and condition in which property is found. We will be glad to extend this service to anyone upon request. We are now located in our new quarters in the 40 basement of the Town Hall and are much better situ- ated than before. As you enter the basement you face the Lobby where all routine business is conducted. We now have clean rest rooms for both men and women. The whole area is well lighted and kept very comfort- able with a hot water heating system. We extend a cordial invitation to everyone to come and visit our new quarters. I would like at this time to express my sincere thanks for the splendid cooperation I have received both from our regular officers and our special police. It is no more than right and deserving that we recog- nize the sacrifice of our special officers of their leisure hours in rendering assistance to the department when needed. My thanks and appreciation also to the various departments of the Town as well as to all citizens for their cooperation during the past year. Respectfully submitted, JOHN VALUER Chief Newmarket Police Department ; 41 FIRE DEPARMENT REPORT 48 alarms were sounded in 1957. Lost child, 1 Buildings, 6; Chimneys, 5; Cars, 2; Grass, Brush, 25; Oil Burners, 2; Out of Town Calls, 4; False, 3. The fire trucks and other equipment are all in good condition. The Ford truck which has not been of too much use as a fire truck for the past few years, has been made over into a forest fire truck. The work was done by a few of the boys without compensation. The only cost to the town were a few minor parts which had to be purchased. We now have two two-way radios — one in the Seagrave and the other in the Chevrolet. In the near future we expect to have our base station (radio) in working order. A new air compressor was bought and installed for the fire whistle. Two new fire alarm boxes were also bought and installed. One box 32 Exeter St., re- placed an old box. The other new box was installed (No. 41) at Maplecrest. Other minor work was also done on fire alarms during the past year. In our budget this year, more money was asked for to continue work on fire alarms. Also included in budget is money to buy 1V2 inch hose, and also to do some painting at fire station inside and out. A. W. CASWELL, Chief 42 Progress Report of BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS The first action of the year was the revision of the existing Rules and Regulations of the Water Works adopted July 1st, 1941 by new revised Rules and Regulations adopted January 1st, 1957 and the forwarding of a copy to each subscriber. Work was completed on the new Water Main Ex- tensions on North Main Street and New Road in ac- cordance with the expressed desires of the voters at the yearly Town Meeting, thereby furnishing water service and fire protection to the new subscribers. The problem of eliminating and replacing several inadequate extensions on Cedar Street was resolved by extending the existing Water Main with a full size extension joining the Cedar Street and Beech Street ends of the main. This improvement now provides a loop supply in case of damage to the main on either street, a better water pressure and additional fire protection. It is expected that this extension should accommodate any future growth in the vacant fields adjacent to Cedar Street. In case of future growth between Beech Street and Nichols Avenue it would serve as a supply for an extension. The cost of the Water Main Extensions installed during 1957 totalled $8,500. which the operating reve- nues of the Water Works must necessarily defray over a period of several years. Careful consideration must be given by the voters at the annual Town Meet- ing when obligating the Water Works to extensive water main extensions without appropriating the funds to accomplish these because operating revenues will not always provide for such installations. The eventual course of such actions must lead to the need 43 to either raise the existing water rates which will im- pose an additional burden on the current subscribers, or to obtain the necessary funds from local taxes. Proper planning dictates that consideration be given to moderate expansion of service facilities, but such expansion must also be budgeted in accordance with indicated needs and anticipated yearly revenues of the Water Works. The mechanical equipment is in very good op- erating condition and no extensive repairs to the plant structure are anticipated. Repairs must be made to the standpipe but it is not expected that these should become more extensive than cleaning and painting. The project of revising existing blueprints of Water Mains and services and incorporating all the changes made since 1947 has been accomplished and the blueprints are now accurate and up to date. One copy of each set of blueprints has been deposited for safe keeping in the Town vaults. Preliminary studies have also been made to seek and establish additional sources of water for the Town of Newmarket. It was not necessary to issue restrictions on the use of water during the long drought period last Summer and existing water sup- plies are considered to be adequate for meeting our current needs. The Board of Water Commissioners realizes that it is well to plan and be on the alert to seek and develop additional sources of water in the event of future expansion and development of in- dustrial facilities in the Town.

It is with pleasure that I present my annual re- port to you It may be true that Russia leads the United States in the production of engineers and scientists. But that is only one side of the story. The other side raises many questions as to just how far education is ex- tending among Russian youth, and how good that education is. Does the average Russian child receive as much education as the American boy or girl ? Is Russian edu- ca.ion below, equal to, or superior to that of the Am- erican system? A little intensive reading in this field of recent educational literature reveals that about one-third of the youth of Russia reach what compares with the upper three grades of an American high school. By contrast, in America, 75 per cent of the young people reach these grades. As for higher education, less than seven Russians of every 1,000 are receiving university training at college level. Facts indicate that two-thirds of the Russian children are denied educational opportunities beyond the seventh grade. The reason for this denial is acute shortage of classrooms! Despite the publicity of an expanded building program, half of the 195,000 local schools in Russia are inadequate because of space shortage. The same overcrowding is extended to the uni- versity level ! Enrollment has risen 110 per cent since 1940, but available space has expanded at this level : 81 only 37 per cent. Under such conditions, tens of thousands of Rus- sian children—the majority—are removed from local schools at about 14 years of age and sent to work. Do we want this in our schools? I don't think so! This unfortunate group constitutes a pool of cheap, mobile labor under the guise of educational procedure—procedure that terminates in coal mines and factories. Russia is trying to impress the world through such scientific feats as Sputnik I and Sputnik II. True, Russia has increased its number of scientists, but at the expense of the majority of its citizens. Russia is being criticized by Russians for the overloading of engineering students, leaving the stu- dents little or no time for independent study. Alexander G. Koral, a Russia-affairs specialist at the Center for International Studies at the Massachu- setts Institute of Technology, stated recently that while Russia is expanding its whole educational pro- gram, chiefly to meet Communist military objectives, there is no immedate threat that Soviet education is about to match or surpass that of the United States. I believe that much damage has been done to our educational system during the past twenty years by the disciples of PROGRESSIVE education. We are now ready for the pendulum to swing back to the es- sential methods and policies for our public schools 1. Reading to be taught in early grades, with emphasis upon phonetics. 2. Cursive writing to be taught, starting in the third grade, with emphasis on drill. 82 3. Spelling to be taught as a subject, in con- junction with reading, with emphasis upon phonetics. 4. Basic arithmetic to be taught in the first 7 grades. 5. History, civics and geography to be taught as separate subjects. 6. The essentials of grammar and the structure of English to be taught in the early grades. 7. Greater use of written essay-type examina- tions should be made available. 8. A reasonable amount of homework should be required, and parents should be encou- raged to supervise home study. 9. Promotion should be determined primarily by proficiency. Your school board deserves much credit in giv- ing so much time and thought in the preparation of the budget. They have made an honest attempt to see that the budget is well proportioned for the edu- cational needs of your children. In closing, I wish to express my thanks to the pupils, school board, PTA, citizens and teachers for whose understanding, patience and kindness have made the school year one of success. Respectfully submitted, GEORGE P. SULLIVAN, Superintendent of Schools 83 HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL'S REPORT To the Schoolboard and citizens of Newmarket: It is with great pleasure that I submit to you the annual report as principal of Newmarket High School. Teachers On the opening day, September 4, 1957, the school officially began with some changes in the high school faculty. Mrs. Betty Greenwood replaced Mrs. Claudia V. Cloutier to teach College Preparatory English. She left December 20 to join her husband in Texas. The present teacher of College Preparatory English is Mrs. Carney, who came to us from Rye. Mr. Lewis Crocker, the music supervisor, was replaced by Mrs. Lila Cobb. The mathematics and science teacher, Mr. Charles Greenwood, was replaced by Mr. Willis Cobb. Mr. Joseph Crotty came to us as an additional teacher this year. He is handling Junior and Senior Science and Physical Education. Mr. Lewis Robinson re- placed Mr. Charles Ackerman to handle the Indus- trial Arts in the school. This continual change of faculty members is far from beneficial in the conducting of the best possible schools for the young people of Newmarket. We are however, very fortunate in that the new teachers who have arirved are very well qualified in their respec- tive jobs and fit very well into our program. Curriculum Since I have taken over the duties of principal of your high school many changes have taken place, 84 with the results that your schools now are better serving the needs of your community. Among some of the changes in our curriculum a class in Psychology has been added. All students now have two periods of Physical Education a week. Numberous clubs have been incorporated into our program as co-curricular activities, this is to say that these clubs are now an intricate part of the students daily learning. Two new courses are going to be added next year, they are freshman science to help bridge the gap be- tween elementary science and high school science; a course in music appreciation will be added to increase our fine arts program. Auto driving will continue to be on alternating year basis. Guidance The Guidance program in the Junior and Senior high school is carried on by the principal. The pro- gram consists of standardized tests administered here at the high school and these utilized with the Univer- sity of New Hampshire testing program help to de- termine what curriculum the student should follow to achieve his vocational aims. The principal has each student of the school for a full period interview twice during the school year, at which time the test results and the students' individual interests are correlated so that the principal may advise the student in his program of studies. If any parent would like to know of the results of these interviews or help by giving additional inform- ation, the school would consider it a great privilege to have them visit at their convenience. 85 Building The time has come when I sincerely believe that a definite policy for building- materials must be adop- ted. Each and every year more things wear out thru continual usage. As things stand now many of the desks that were placed in the building as original equipment are in poor shape. The boiler room roof has developed leaks and leaks on the new oil burner. The roof of the main part of the building leaks in the supply room. The back side of the high school building should be re-pointed and water-proofed. Some interior redecoration should be done in the form of a new coat of paint in a few rooms. Facilities for a separate room as a library are mandatory in order that we meet the requirements of the State Depart- ment of Education as a fully accredited secondary school. Athletics The athletics and Physical Education program remains the same. Each student receives two classes of supervised Physical Education per week, these classes include group calisthenics and group games that are appropriate to the various seasons. This past fall the Cross Country Team from New- market took the Class S championship at Durham. The second semester of this school year, we are privileged in having a practice teacher from the Uni- versity to help out in our girls Physical Education program. Outstanding Students This past year two students had the privilege of becoming members of the Lamprey Chapter of the 86 National Honor Society, they are Sandra Bassett, a senior, and Geraldine Bogacz, a junior. Two senior girls of the College Preparatory Eng- lish class have had their poems accepted by the Na- tional High School Poetry Association and their poems will be published in the annual Anthology of High School Poetry. These poems are "And the Wind Traveled On" by Carla Grant and "Idle Gossip" by Crystal Marden. The Betty Crocker Homemaking Award was won by Carla Grant. Once again I wish to thank you, who make work- ing in Newmarket a pleasant task, as always co-op- eration must exist between the home and school in order that your children receive the best possible education. Respectfully submitted, BERNARD C. FORBUSH ; 87 CENTRAL SCHOOL PRINCIPAL'S REPORT To the School Board and Citizens of Newmarket: It is with great pleasure that I submit this my first annual report as principal of Newmarket Cen- tral School. Teachers The teaching staff in the Central and the Stone Schools remained rather table this year, the only replacement being Mr. Edward O'Connor, as prin- cipal and fourth grade teacher. The others on the teaching staff include Mrs. Mildred Rooney, Grade 6 Mrs. Ruth Robie, Grade 5; Mrs. Irene LaBranche, Grade 3; Mrs. Frances Nesbitt, Grade 2; and Mrs. Carolyn Reed, Grade 1. Changes and Improvements There were a number of changes and improve- ments at both the Stone and Central Schools this year. At the Central School the first thing to be done this year was to continue the program of replacing old desks and chairs. This year grade two got the new ones. The roof was reslated in places to stop a few leaks before they did any great damage. Six combination storm windows were purchased for the windows in grades three and four. It is expected that these windows will in the long run, save money due to the amount of heat that will be saved. At the Stone School, new sinks and drinking foun- tains were installed, and the inside of the building wT as painted. A piano was donated to the school this year and was placed in grade five. A 16 m.m. motion picture projector was pur- 88 chased for both schools, and this is something that was sorely needed. The School Program The school program is planned to meet the needs and growth patterns of the boys and girls entrusted to the guidance of the school. Reading Reading has always been an important subject, though its importance has increased materially with the enlarged sphere of application which modern life has opened up for all. The program of instruction is planned to make the child's introduction to reading successful through a gradual and informal approach that is best suited to his individual powers of accomplishment. Parents and teachers can insure him a rich back- ground so essential for meaningful reading by pro- viding actual experiences which increase his under- standing of the world about him and enrich his vo- cabulary. Stimulating a desire to read is important as much of a child's success in learning to read depends upon his own interest and curiosity to learn. The classroom invites reading through pictures, bulletin boards, shelves with books—everything the child needs to read and wants to read. The parent and teacher, by making their reading to the child a source of pleasure, adventure and information, will create the desire to secure access to these sources for himself. The instruction provides for child growth and de- velopment of certain fundamental attitudes, habits and skills. Speed of silent reading, fluent, accurate 89 oral reading, comprehension and interpretation are stressed. Permanent interests in and desirable tastes for different types of good reading material are the ultimate goals of achievement. Number The arithmetic program is planned to meet the child's needs for number and is arranged in such a way that the learning of number facts becomes mean- ingful experiences instead of a mass of memorized material with little significance attached. The primary objective is to develop number ability by providing many, varied, concrete oppor- tunities which necessitate the solution of practical problems. This leads to understandings which have been obtained from real life situations. Emphasis is placed upon the developing of num- ber readiness before abstract concepts are taught. Care is given to the development of a numerical vo- cabulary, to the strengthening of number meaning, and to the development of concepts of size, quantity and location. Writing Lettering is taught in the beginning grades. Chil- dren become aware of the need for writing through observing the teacher print their names, their dic- tated stories, labels for dramatizations and news items in which they are interested. They become fam- iliar with the form of manuscript before they begin to write it. Lettering is easy to learn because of the simple strokes and the omission of unnecessary loops, curves, and long joining strokes. It demands less muscular control and coordination. It is a definite aid in beginning reading as it parallels more nearly 90 the print in books. The large letters facilitate correct formation and as a result the writing is more legible and neat. In the third grade, the child makes the tran- siiton easily to cursive writing as the various activi- ties of home and school life have helped develop bet- ter muscular coordination. The aim in teaching lettering is to develop skill so that the child's ideas may be recorded in an easy and fluent way and be legible for others to read. Testing This part of the program is being initialed this year at both the Central and Stone Schools, and will be followed up every year. Intelligence tests will be administered in the sec- ond, fourth, and sixth grades. In the third and fifth grades the students will be given achievement tests. So, when the youngsters leave us in the sixth grade, they will not only have their report card marks given by the teachers, but they will also have five standardized test marks which will have been given throughout their first six years in school. These two things, (1) report card marks; and (2) standardized test marks, will give as accurate a picture as possible of the students at the time they enter Junior High School. Respectfully submitted, EDWARD F. O'CONNOR, Principal : 91 MUSIC REPORT Elementary School Music this year in the elementary school consists of an integrated program of vocal, rhythmic, and lis- tening activities, paced appropriately to each age group. In the first grade our objectives are that the chil- dren learn to sings songs in tune, artistically, by imi- tation, learn to feel basic rhythms, and learn to dis- criminate mood and tempo in music. This is accom- plished by voice tuning, singing rote songs, dramatiz- ing songs, rhythmic activities, Rhythm Band, and listening to recordings. Music in the second grade follows a similar pat- tern, although more difficult activities are presented and the basic elements of note reading are taught when the grade has reached proficiency in rote sing- ing. Voice tuning is still carried on in grade two to help those who cannot sing on pitch. When the average child has reached grade four, he should be able to read very simple songs at sight with syllables and words. Remedial work has been necessary this year so that the present fourth grade may attain skill in this phase of music that is appro- priate to its age group. Rhythmic activities through folk dancing are carried on to increase musical ex- periences. Some remedial work has been necessary in grades five and six in sight reading. Two part singing is now established in grade five, although three part sing- ing is, at this time, considered too advanced for grade six. It is expected that we will attain this goal by the end of the year. Listening activities and folk danc- 92 ing are integrated with the singing programs for both grades five and six. Much has been accomplished this year in terms of establishing an appreciation for fine music, im- proving tone production, and developing an adequate sense of rhythm, as well as gaining skills in music reading. May I express my most sincere thanks to the eelmentary teachers for their kind cooperation in making these achievements possible. Junior High School Music: General Music classes continuing the elementary program to a more advanced level have been aug- mented by the establishment of a Junior High Glee Club, which has performed for several public and school functions. This Glee Club will aid the New- market High School Glee Club in its presentation of an operetta this spring. It is expected that the Junior High Glee Club will add many competent singers to the High School Glee Club next year, and also receive many eager members from grade six. High School Music: Since the High School Glee Club has been allotted school time for rehearsals, we have been able to build a well-balanced group of about forty-eight boys and girls who have accomplished much this year in the use of their singing voices, and increasing ability in part snging, as well as performing successfully for several public and school performances. Not only do these students find ways of improving themselves through singing in Glee Club; they also find emotional release and an appreciation for beautiful music thru participation in group singing. 93 Our plans for the remainder of the year include the presentation of an operetta, a musical, and the music for graduation, which promise rewards for the members of the group—enjoyment in singing, appre- ciation for fine music, and belonging to a well-bal- anced singing organization. Future Plans: If future plans can be carried out successfully, we hope to offer a new course, Music Appreciation, for students in their junior and senior years of high school, the requirements of which will be at least one year's experience in the Newmarket High School Glee Club and an average of "C" or better in other courses. This new course is offered in response to a demanding cultural need to further music education above the eighth grade level and the need to offer an- other Liberal Arts course to satisfy increasing state requirements. Another plan in the making is that we will be able to offer talented fourth, fifth and sixth graders an opportunity to sing in an elementary chorus which will meet once each week. May I offer my thanks to all those who have so helpfully cooperated in the music program this year. MRS. LILA J.
