Taxes Collected The cash books and commitment books were footed and the payments to the Treasurer verified and compared with the receipts as recorded by him on his books. Trust Funds I have compared the savings bank books in the hands of the Treasurer with the amount called for in the Perpetual Care Fund account as being on deposit December 31, 1926, and the books and the amounts agree. The George Melvin Wilson Library Fund account was veri- fied by examining the Liberty Bonds in the hands of the Treasurer, which are registered bonds, also the savings bank book.

IO3 Report of an Audit OF THE ACCOUNTS OF THE TOWN OF SAUGUS From January I, 19 13 to July 21, 1926 Made in accordance with the Provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws. October 4, 1926 To the Board of Selectmen, Mr. Harold E. Dodge, Chairman, Saugus, Massachusetts. Gentlemen : —I submit herewith my report of an audit of the accounts of the town of Saugus for the period from January 1, 1913, to July 21, 1926, made in accordance with the pro- visions of Chapter 44 of the General Laws. This report is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. Edward H. Fenton, Chief Examiner of this Division. Very truly yours, THEODORE N. WADDELL, Director of Accounts. Mr. Theodore N, Waddell, Director of Accounts, Department of Corporations and 1 axation, State House, Boston. Sir : —As directed by you, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Saugus for the period from January 1, 1913 to July 21, 1926, as petitioned for by vote of the town, and submit the following report thereon : The financial transactions of the town as recorded on the books of the several departments receiving or disbursing funds for the town were examined and verified. The books and accounts in the treasurer's office were examined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts were checked with the records in the several departments collecting money for the town, where such records were available, and with the other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury. 104 TOWN DOCUMENTS. [Dec. 31 The recorded payments were checked with the warrants authorizing the treasurer to disburse town funds and with the accountant's records. The cash book was footed throughout for the period covered by the audit and was found to be correct with the exception of page 242, the total for this page being recorded as $50 less than the actual addition of the page. A further examination dis- closed the fact that on October 31, 1921, an entry was made of a receipt of $100. for a perpetual care fund, but the entry in Book No. 12367 of the Commonwealth Savings Bank of Lynn shows a deposit of only $50 to the credit of this fund ; and the person who made the deposit stated that it was for $50. and the fund is so reported in the annual town report. It would therefore appear that the error in addition of the cash book was made intentionally to correct the over-entry of the receipt of the fund. The books and accounts in the collector's office were exam- ined and checked in detail. The commitments of taxes and moth assessments were examined and compared with the assessors' records ; the recorded receipts were checked with the commitment books, with the treasurer's cash books and wT ith the accountant's general ledger ; the abatements were checked with the assessors' records of abatements granted ; and the outstand- ing accounts were listed and reconciled with the controlling accounts in the general ledger. The outstanding accounts were further verified by mailing notices to almost all of the persons w7 hose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, and from the replies received I am satisfied that the accounts are correct. The town clerk's records of receipts from hunting and fishing and dog licenses issued for the State and the county were checked, and the payments to the State and the county treasurers were verified. At the annual town meeting of 1922 the town voted a fixed salary for the town clerk and also voted that fees from all sources should be paid into the town treasury. Since that time all receipts of the office, with the exception of fees for issuing dog and hunting and fishing licenses have been paid into the treas- ury. As the fees retained were not specifically mentioned in the vote fixing the town clerk's salary, they have been kept by the towr n clerk. I would therefore recommend that some definite action be taken regarding the fees for issuing dog and I926] REPORT OF AN AUDIT. IO5 hunting and fishing licenses, so that no misunderstanding may arise in the future as to the disposition of these fees. It has been the practice of the town clerk to deposit receipts on account of licenses issued for the State and the county in his personal bank account, and while the balance to the credit of his personal account at the date of the audit was greatly in excess of the amount of public funds in his possession, I would recommend that all public funds be deposited in a separate bank account. The records of tax titles held by the town were examined and checked in detail. The tax titles were listed from the treasurer's card records and checked with the deeds on file in his office. The necessary entries to cover errors and omissions were made, and the accountant's ledger account was adjusted to agree with the card records and deeds on file. The tax title account shows that the titles held by the town July 21, 1926, aggregated $44,419.78, an increase of more than $30,000 since 1913. As the actual value of tax titles is always a serious question, owing to the fact that on old titles the oppor- tunity for declaring them invalid on account of technicalities is very great, the validity of the titles in question should be deter- mined at once, so that those proven defective may be charged off the books, a new and positive assessment made, and the revenue due the town collected or the property taken under the present law, which is reasonably clear and easily enforced. At a special town meeting held June 30, 1913, a vote was passed authorizing the selectmen to sell the land owned or there- after acquired by the town of Saugus for the non-payment of taxes, and to execute in the name of the town deeds therefor. Under authority of this vote the selectmen have authorized the sale, not only of property acquired at a final sale, but of property held under tax titles for sums very much less than the actual cost to the town. It is therefore evident that the practice of allowing taxes to accumulate year after year on the property for which the town holds tax titles should be discontinued and that the town, as soon as possible after acquiring a tax title deed, should petition for the foreclosure of all rights of re- demption, as provided for in Section 65, Chapter 60, General Laws. The books and accounts of the town accountant were examined and checked in detail. The ledger accounts were analyzed for the period of the audit, the necessary correcting and adjusting 1 106 TOWN DOCUMENTS. [Dec. 3 entries were made, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town July 21, 1926. The receipts as recorded by the accountant were compared and checked with the treasurer's cash book and with the records of the several departments collecting money for the town. The records of disbursements were checked with the treasury war- rants and with the payments as shown by the treasurer's books. Approved vouchers and pay-rolls were examined and checked with the appropriation accounts, and the appropriation accounts were checked with the town clerk's records of appropriations and transfers voted by the town, being found correctly entered in the ledger. The surety bonds of the treasurer and the collector and town clerk for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form. The financial records of the water department were examined and checked in detail. Beginning with the year 1919 the town has collected its own water rates. Bills are sent out by the department office and collections are made by the tax collector. These receipts of cash were checked with the commitment sheets and with the recorded payments to the treasurer. The abatements were checked with the departmental records, and the outstanding accounts were listed as of July 31, 1926, being reconciled with the general ledger accounts. I would recom- mend that more care be taken in reporting commitments and abatements, and that receipts of cash on account of summonses be reported separately. Tables have been prepared, and are appended to this report, showing a reconciliation and verification of these accounts from 1919 to date. The securities representing the investments of the trust funds belonging to the town are in the custody of the town treasurer. The cash transactions on account of these funds were checked from 191 3 to the date of the audit, and the securities in which the funds are invested were personally examined and listed, being found to be intact and in good condition. Tables showing the condition of the funds have been prepared and are appended to this report. The records of selectmen's meetings were examined to prove that all licenses and permits granted were paid for. It was found that some licenses were issued and paid for that were not 1926] REPORT OF AN AUDIT. IO7 recorded on the selectmen's books as having been granted. I would recommend that more care be taken in recording the granting of licenses, in order that the accounts may be properly verified in the future. The receipts on account of town hall rents were checked with the stubs in the voucher book kept by the janitor from 1921 to the date of the audit, all previous records having been destroyed. It has been customary for the janitor, acting under instructions of the selectmen, to collect money and disburse part of it for police services. This practice has now been discontinued and the janitor will deposit money collected with the treasurer, as required by Section 53, Chapter 44, General Laws. The financial records of the sealer of weights and measures were examined and checked in detail. The accounts of the present sealer were in good condition and easily verified, but the accounts of the previous sealer were in poor condition and could not be properly verified. No fees were collected for building permits until 1924, but the cash receipts on account of such permits since that date were checked with the inspector's records of permits issued. Pay- ments of these fees to the town treasurer have not been made as required by Section 53, Chapter 44, General Laws, and it is therefore recommended that these fees be paid to the treasurer at least monthly. The cash receipts on account of milk licenses were checked from 1915 to the date of the audit, previous records having been destroyed. These records were in good condition and easily verified. The receipts, however, should be paid to the treasurer at least monthly. The cash receipts of the plumbing inspector were checked for the year 1925, and to August 23, 1926, were found to be correct. No fees were charged previous to 1925. The keeper of the almshouse keeps no record of his cash receipts, but two or three times each month he pays to the treas- urer all of the cash in his possession, together with a summary of the source of such receipts. These records were examined and found to agree with the treasurer's cash book and the town reports. The records of receipts of the health department previous to 1919 could not be found, and subsequent records of such receipts were incomplete. An examination of all available records was made, and found to be correct and in agreement with the treasurer's cash book. 1 IOS TOWN DOCUMENTS [Dec. 3 The records of cash receipts of the fire department prior to 1923, were destroyed. Since that time the receipts have been small, but the records were examined and found to be correct and the receipts duly paid to the treasurer. The school department keeps no record of cash receipts, although in some years the receipts on account of schools have been rather large. I would recommend that this defect be reme- died and that a book be installed to record all receipts of cash. The record of cash receipts of the library were examined from 1920 to the date of the audit, it being found that the receipts had been paid to the treasurer as recorded. The financial records of the poor department were checked with the treasurer's cash book and the accountant's ledger, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the accounts receivable account in the general ledger. The records of cash receipts of the cemetery department were examined and checked in detail, it being found that the receipts had been duly paid to the treasurer. A columnated cash book was installed in the department in order to more systematically segregate the various sources of income. Appended to this report, in addition to the tables already mentioned, are tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash and a summary of the various levies of taxes and moth assessments. While engaged in the audit I received the hearty co-operation of all the town officials with whom I came in contact, and on behalf of my assistants and for myself I wish to express appre- ciation for the courtesies received and the assistance rendered. Respectfully submitted, EDWARD H. FENTON, Chief Examiner. ; 9 26] REPORT OF AN AUDIT.

He commended himself to our affections in his official life by his honesty, intelligence, impartiality and his strict sense of duty, which led him often far beyond his actual legal duties in bis endeavor to serve. He was especially interested in developing, indexing and perfecting our Town Records and has left them in excellent condition. Among other things he accomplished for the lasting benefit of the town was the compilation of a One Hundred Year Index of Vital Statistics. This index completed shortly before he died, has earned the commendation of all who appreci- ate the lasting value of such a work, and the great amount of labor, research, and patience required in its preparation. His fellow townsmen expressed their unqualified appreciation of his ability and worth by returning him year after year to the offices he rilled so faithfully, efficiently and conscientiously, by overwhelming majorities when he was opposed, which was seldom. They hereby express their deep regret for the loss which the town sustained when he passed from this life January 2, 1927 at about 11.45 P - M * 14 : 1 2IO TOWN DOCUMENTS. [Dec. 3 Report of Planning Board To the Citizens of the Town of Saugus The Planning Board herewith submits its annual report for 1926-27. The Board organized on March 15, 1926, with Chas. N. Wormstead as Chairman and Chester Nickerson, Secretary. Mr. Frank Ramsdell was reelected in March 1926 and Mr. John Pitman was elected to the place vacated by Mr. George Mason. Regular meetings were held this year on the first and third Mondays of each month. The Board worked on the following problems : Zoning The Town Meeting of March, 1926, voted an appropriation of $15,000 for the purpose of bringing before the town in March, 1927, a Zoning Plan and By-Laws which was to be prepared under the direction of the Planning Board. The Board first consulted Mr. E. T. Hartman, State Con- sultant on Housing and Planning as to the best procedure for carrying out this work. He advised retaining an expert on Zoning to prepare maps and by-laws. The Board called for bids. After due consideration we voted unanimously to employ Mr. Hartman at a cost of $1,000. Under his direction a tentative plan and by-law has been pre- pared for presentation to the citizens at a series of hearings. A final plan amended and changed, if the people so decide, will be brought before the March Town Meeting. People in general now recognize that Zoning is for the best interests of cities and towns. We, therefore, earnestly request that all voters support this program as we firmly believe it to be for the best interests of the town and its people. Sewerage The Town Meeting of March 1926, voted that prior to May 1, 1926, the Selectmen call a conference of the Board of Health, Assessors, Finance Committee and Planning Board, to make recommendations for a further study of Sewerage. Three meet- I926] PLANNING BOARD REPORT. 211 ings were held during the year. At the meeting of January 6, 1927, a committee of five was appointed to draw an article for the next Annual Town Meeting. The article so drawn will be incorporated in the Town Warrant. It was the unanimous opinion of the conference that the Sewerage question should be given immediate further study and careful thought. Playgrounds This Board still is very much interested in Playgrounds and Parks. It believes that the town should continue its policy of providing playgrounds. We are pleased to note that a Play- ground Commission is to be elected this coming year to take care of such work. Municipal Garage At the March meeting of 1926 this Board asked for further time in connection with its investigation concerning a municipal garage. From our study this year the Board has decided that a garage and workshop are absolutely essential and necessary for the Public Works Department. At present this department leaves its trucks, tractors, and other equipment out of doors at the mercy of the weather as there is no place whatsoever pro- vided for storing them. This results in unnecessary wear and tear. We believe that a heated garage would pay for itself by the saving; in labor, in deterioration of equipment and availi- bility of equipment it would effect. The Planing Board will sponser an article asking that such a building be constructed. CHARLES N. WORMSTEAD, Chairman, CHESTER S. NICKERSON, Scretary, CHARLES B. PUGSLEY, JOHN C. PITMAN, : 1 212 TOWN DOCUMENTS. [Dec. 3 Report of Finance Committee January 31, 1927. To the Citizens of the Town of Saugus During the year 1926,25 meetings were held by this Committee, of which 16 meetings were for the preparation of recommend- ations of amounts to be appropriated at the Annual Town Meeting. Transfers were voted by this Committee from the Reserve Fund as follows : Accountant's Department $50 00 Treasurer's Department 30 00 Collector's Department 115 00 Assessors' Department 100 00 Law Department 5i 5* Town Hall Account 300 00 Bond Premium Account *9 5o Gypsy Moth Department 2,200 00 Health Department 1,100 00 Snow and Ice 820 00 School Repairs 150 00 Memorial Day 2 7 33 Printing artd Distributing Town Report 50 00 Water Maintenance 950 00 Water Extension 20 50 Cemetery 13 5° Total $5,997 34 In our previous annual report attention was called to the increase in the rate of taxation annually taking place in Saugus. The increase of $3.15 per $1,000 in the tax rate of 1926 over that of 1925 has been experienced by all the taxpayers and we hope that the interest in town finances thus aroused will make itself felt at the Town Meeting of 1927. Saugus, like other towns, must expect a constantly increasing 1926] FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT. 213 tax rate unless the voters at the Town Meeting see that appro- priations are not increased out of proportion to the annual increase in taxable property. This has not been the case in previous years, as is shown by the following table.

It is our endeavor to recommend a budget to the voters which will provide adequate funds for the maintenance of the numerous departments and activities of the town and yet will not result in increased taxation. If the voters will support this Committee in its recommendations made at the Town Meeting, they will find a substantial saving reflected in their tax bills. Water Again we recommend that a substantial number of new meters be placed on unmetered services annually until all services are metered. We recommend that the cost of proposed extensions be ascer- tained as near as possible before they are commenced. The town should not be committed to new undertakings without knowing the full extent of the cost before work is begun. Last year this Committee recommended that a special com- mittee be appointed to examine into certain phases of the opera- tions of the Water Department, as it appears at present to be a costly enterprise and not on a paying basis. We trust that the recommendations of this special committee to be made at the March meeting will receive earnest consideration by the citizens. Street Lighting We call attention to a practice that has obtained with the Selectmen in the past of not installing additional street lights * Not including flat raise of 10% in 1925 on all land and buildings previously as ,< 1 214 TOWN DOCUMENTS. [Dec. 3 until practically the end of the year in order to get as many new lights as possible under the appropriation. That is, if $100 has been appropriated for new lights, there have been ordered as many new lights as said sum would take care of for one month instead of for one year. This has resulted in an increase of several hundred dollars in the street lighting bill for the succeed- ing year. We recommend that the Selectmen discontinue this practice and install only such number of additional lights as the appropriation is intended to provide. HERBERT P. MASON, Chairman. GEORGE E. SPRAGUE, Secretary. HARRY WOODWARD, HENRY A. McCULLOUGH, HARRY W. MERRILL, NICHOLAS B. EVANS, x CRAWFORD STOCKER, Jr. Finance Committee. 1926] selectman's report. 215 Report of Selectman C. F. NELSON PRATT In the absence of a majority report the following is submitted relative to the administration of 1926 together with suggestions as to definite policies for 1927. The permanent construction program for Walnut and Water streets with State and County Aid should be continued. Winter street should be reconstructed from Chestnut to Central of a type in accordance with recommendations and specifications of the State Department of Public Works. The type of construction on Lincoln avenue the past three years is unsatisfactory and indicates false economy. The permanent reconstruction of Howard and Main streets from the Melrose line to the Newbury- port turnpike should be undertaken with State and County Aid. Without further delay Main street at a point east of the turn- pike should be widened and ledge removed. Necessity dictates a reasonable repair program for the highways. Street lines should be defined and grades established before sidewalk construction or permanent highways are built or water mains laid. It is imperative that an appropriation be made this year for a start in this work. The town experienced more trouble in sidewalk construction for 1926 and as a measure of economy it is urged that the town build its own sidewalks, The location of sidewalk north of monument is improper and will prove to be an expensive under- taking in the future to remedy this condition. Satisfactory arrangements should have been made with the owner to avoid future costly expenditure. Water as ever is an absolute necessity but sound business methods should be installed in the department and a definite policy established for water extensions. Service installation continues as a bone of contention and immediately steps should be taken to devise more satisfactory methods. Seri< us thought should be given the matter of meter installation on unmetered services, as the town cannot indefinitely postpone the day oi reckoning in the Water Department, Comparison of revenue 1 2l6 TOWN DOCUMENTS. [Dec. 3 and expenditures is not encouraging and clearly indicates some- thing radically wrong. Replacement of cement water mains has been delayed too long, and while good fortune has favored us, a start in this undertaking is mandatory. It is urged that an investigation be made of the advisability of making a new water contract with the City of Lynn at much lower rates. The Metropolitan System is worthy of careful investigation and serious consideration. Incidently the present revenue derived from Lynn for land in Saugus, used for water purposes is insignificant and a fair and equitable valuation should be made in order to enable the town to be properly reimbursed. The need for proper and careful checking and weighing of materials purchased still exists. Law enforcement is a matter which properly belongs to the Police Department, rather than the press or estimable citizens and should be carried out without fear or favor to any. It is a matter which ought to be removed from politics. Snow removal work on our streets has proven a wise policy although, as is quite obvious, methods can be devised to prevent duplication of ,work with a corresponding decrease in cost. A snow loader would prove a more economical means of snow removal than present methods. Consideration of previous recommendations for a survey of the present street lighting system is again advocated. A more modern and adequate system will prove beneficial to Saugus and its merchants. Installation of street lights has resolved itself into a matter of politics and the town should allocate a definite number each year. Sewerage disposal and the care of surface water are problems requiring constant study Relative to sewers, it is suggested that simple plan with provisions for sewerage disposal in the larger sections of Saugus, together with an estimate of approximate cost is far more desirable than a voluminous report, providing at the best, an interesting and scientific thesis on the subject. Sewer installation can be accomplished at a much lower cost than many would have us believe. Transportation is a matter worthy of serious consideration. Much in the way of improvement can be had. This is one of the most important problems and the future of Saugus depends upon progress in this respect. The actual value of tax titles is always a serious question, due 1926] selectman's report. 217 to the fact that on old titles the opportunity for declaring them invalid on account of technicalities is very great. Recom- mendation is made that their validity should be determined and defective ones charged off the books. New and positive assess- ments should then be made the town to collect all revenue due it or else the property should be taken under the present law. Continuance of the present method of allowing taxes to accumu- late year after year is undesirable. The Tax Title account today is over $44,000. Much improvement can be made in several departments under supervision of the Selectmen. Department morals can never be built up until seniority of service is respected. Removal of men from ulterior motives has worked a hardship in the Public Works Department, and has resulted in decreased efficiency and increased cost. The citizens might properly question the wis- dom of over $4,000 annual expenditure in the P. W. D. for sala- ries and much more for telephones. More constant supervision of thousands of dollars worth of equipment and machines should be required and better housing facilities for same provided. Firm measures have got to be taken to assure the town of a proper return for money expended in such departments. As time rolls on, greater interest will be manifested in town government, so therefor all sessions of the Selectmen should be open to the public. Pride in our town and faith in her future should spur us on with renewed efforts to actively participate in the business thereof with a strong determination to obtain necessary improvements and a greater reduction in the already too heavy buden of tax- ation. Let our slogan be : "Less politics and more economy." Respectfully submitted, C. F. NELSON PRATT. February 14, 1927. 1 2l8 TOWN DOCUMENTS. [Dec. 3 Report of Public Works Department To the Honorable Board of Selectmen : • I beg to submit at this time the annual report of the Depart- ment of Public Works, for the year ending December 31, 1926. Division of Highways One of the principal items in the highway work is mainte- nance. This feature alone requires attention and expenditure every day that the streets are not covered with snow. We have been fortunate this year in having been able with permanent construction and drainage, to eliminate several maintenance conditions that have heretofore been rather expensive. The drainage installation on Lincoln Avenue from Sunnyside Avenue to Guild Road and one on Essex Street, from Mt. Vernon to Grove Street, were principal factors in relieving two very serious traffic conditions, due to the fact that water which was previously spilled over the street surface is now carried off in the drains. Two other drainage installations were made in Lynnhurst to remove water from afflicted areas in that section of the town. Denver Street was reconstructed with screened and graded gravel, and bound with Tarvia and pea stone. The result was very satisfactory to the traffic and proved an economical type of construction. In the Fall, Harrison Avenue, Elm Street and Main Street were reconstructed with screened gravel and Tarvia. A large portion of the appropriation on Harrison Avenue was expended for drainage and necessary fill and removal of ledge. Elm Street was widened and the drainage revised. Main Street was widened in several places and a layer of one inch crushed stone spread over the gravel and bound with Tarvia. Permanent construction was continued on Lincoln Avenue to Lawndale and the traffic has found a very decided improvement over last winter in the condition of the street. Two sections of Essex Street were cared for with permanent I926] PUBLIC WORKS REPORT. 219 construction, so that we now have a continuous stretch from Mount Vernon Street to Hood Street. The westerly side of Chestnut Street was constructed from East Saugus Square to Winter Street. Monument Square should be completed in 1927, and the con- struction on Essex Street continued to Cliftondale Square. The work on Lincoln Avenue should be completed and permanent construction started on Winter Street. Tarvia treatment of semi-permanent streets was continued and extended as has been the custom, the past few years. Carrying on this program as planned will mean that all the main and secondary streets in town will have been treated with tarvia in the next two or three years. Removal of snow from the streets has added greatly to the work of the Department during the last three years. The streets are now opened for motor traffic the entire year and maintenance of the wearing service is correspondingly increased. The work of the tractor and snow plow has proved the wisdom of the investment. Division of Water Continued increase in the home building program has taxed the water division beyond its capacity and a large amount of work is already laid out for 1927, in the applications on file for new services and the renewal of old ones. One crew is kept busy a large part of the year cleaning out old services and repair- ing leaks. Another crew is kept busy with new installations, while a third and more flexible crew is required for work on the main pipe lines making extensions and connections. In addition to this the meters must be read, cleaned and repaired. All this work requires experienced men and also means a great amount of clerical work in the office. A glance at the tables will show the street increase in the number of new services laid and old services relaid, and the cor- responding increase in the number of feet of service pipe. The amount of water main extension has increased steadily and there are still many citizens at this time waiting for water. The water extension this year was particularly difficult as a great amount of pipe had to be laid through ledge, the air com- pressor has more than paid for itself on this work during the last two years. Mains have been extended in all sections of the town, the total for 1926 being 8,652 feet. 1 220 TOWN DOCUMENTS. [Dec. 3 New hydrants have been set on the extensions and several in places not sufficiently covered before. A number of hydrants have been raised and it is the policy of the Department to take care of those that are now low, as soon as possible. A connection from Elm Street to the main on Holland Street, is seriously needed and should be made during tha year 1927. Other dead ends should be extended for better service and pro- tection. The old cement lined pipe is still a serious menace, because of the high pressure imposed on it during a fire. It should be replaced with cast iron pipe without further delay. Respectfully submitted.

Too much stress can not be placed upon the need of two offi- cers either at or near the police station at all times to answer to calls of an emergency nature. As at least ninety per cent of all so-called "hurry calls" are received at the station, the wisdom of the above statement can be readily seen. In my opinion another motorcycle officer should be added to the department in order to provide twenty-four hour patrol for all sections of the town. I again recommend that the pay of police officers be increased one dollar ($i) per day, that uniforms for all regular officers be furnished by the town and that a modern signal system be installed. Respectfully submitted, ROLAND L. MANSFIELD, Chief of Police. 16 : 226 TOWN DOCUMENTS. [Dec. 31 Report of Chief of Fire Department Saugus, Mass., December 31, 1926. To the Citizens of the Town of Saugus : I make the following report of the Fire Department, for the year ending December 31, 1926. The work of the Fire Department has increased a little over the year of 1925. During the year of 1926, the department responded to 231 calls, n more than for 1925, six or these were for fires in the sections of North Revere, and one for a wood fire in Lynnfield, a short distance over the Saugus line. There was 67 bell alarms and 164 still and telephone alarms, of these, 35 were false and needless calls. The department responded to six automobile fires, 128 grass brush, woods and dump fires, 48 were for buildings, seven for chimney fires. There was no loss of life, or injuries to persons, from fire during the year Valuation of buildings endangered by fire $110,685.00 Estimated loss on buildings, 12,030.00 Insurance on buildings, 146,982.00 Insurance paid on buildings, to date, 10,517.10 Valuation on contents endangered by fire, $66,000.00 Estimated loss on contents, 4,972.43 Insurance on contents, 21,600.00 Insurance paid on contents, to date, 2,964.18 The apparatus is in good condition, and has stood up wonder- fully well, and has had some very rough usage, in travelling over very rough roads in responding to alarms and calls. The department is well equipped, and has done done excellent work with the small number of men to man the apparatus. Mileage covered by the apparatus in responding to alarms and calls, are approximately as follows I926] FIRE CHIEF'S REPORT. 227 Combination No. i, Segraves pump, 326 Miles. Combination No. 2, Dodge, 631 Miles. Ladder No. 1, 304 Miles. During the year 9,400 feet of 2j-inch hose was used at fires, 5,000 feet of J-inch chemical hose was used, and 1,01 jj? gallons of chemical fluid was used in extinguishing fires. There was 389 feet of ladders raised at fires. During the year 1926, about 1,100 permits were issued for building fires in the open, for the purpose of burning rubbish, grass, leaves, brush, garden refuse and other materials, these permits have been issued under the directions of the State Fire Marshal, and the State Forestry Department, of the Department of Public Safety of Massachusetts. Recommendations In closing, I make the following recommendations for the year of 1927. That two permanent firemen be appointed to the department. That a new and larger, modern up to date fire station be built in the near future, to replace the old wooded fire station in use at the present time, which is a serious fire hazard, on account of being used to keep motor vehicles in, and does not comply with the State Garage laws and regulations. That an automobile be furnished for the Chief of the Fire Department, to use for department business purposes which have increased over years in the past. That 500 feet of 2^-inch, and 100 feet of chemical hose be purchased to replace some that is beyond use for fire purposes. Respectfully submitted, MELLEN R. JOY, Ch ief of Fire Department. 228 TOWN DOCUMENTS.

HATCH, Overseers of the Poor of Saugus, I926] LIBRARY TRUSTEES' REPORT. 229 Report of Library Trustees The Trustees of the Saugus Public Library feel gratified that public spirited citizens of our town have made known their interest by the gifts they have made in the past year. Mr. and Mrs H. A. B. Peckam presented to the Library a painting by Ames, a former resident of Saugus who won fame both at home and abroad as a painter. Personal War Sketches of Members of E. W. Hicks, Post 95, and a silver water set belonging to the Post were given into the safe keeping of the library by the Trustees of Gen. E. W. Hicks, Post No. 95, G. A. R., Messrs. Joseph Newhall and George M. Caswell. The donors of books were, Mrs. Evelyn Ordway, Mr. and and Mrs. Arthur Hitchings, Miss Emma E. Newhall, Mrs. Arlene Pike Johnson, Mr. and Mrs. H. A. B. Peckam, Mrs. Jennie Dunham, Mr. A. E. Starkey, Miss Marion Starkey and Miss Caroline Hodge, Mrs. Walter Gay. Doners of magazines, Mr. and Mrs. James M. Pike and Miss M. Louise Hawkes. Beside the Main Library four branches are maintained as in the past. This year, however, the School Committee has granted the Library authorities permission to use one of the basement rooms in the Sweetser School for the Cliftondale Branch. This room has been fitted up and before this report leaves the press, the new branch will have been thrown open to the public. A library is essentially an institution for service and the Saugus Public Library is endeavoring to function as it should in co- operating with the schools, more particularly the Junior and Senior High Schools. In the parlanence of the Library the "School List" is a list of books that are a part of the required reading in the school work of the students. This list is submit- ted by the school faculty to the Librarian who promptly with- draws the prescribed books from general circulation. The Ili^h School has a library but both libraries are inadequate for the demands made of them. In the purchasing of new books the Trustees have endeavored 1 23O TOWN DOCUMENTS. [Dec. 3 to maintain the proper balance between fiction and nonaction. The fiction reading public seek amusement and the non-fiction readers are seeking instruction in history and sciences. During the last year the aim has been to bring the non-fiction section into its proper relation to the whole.

Two thousand four hundred and forty-seven dollars and sixty cents has been added to the Perpetual Care Fund making a total of $37,590.48 All old lots (with the exception of u, these will require some attention this year) have been graded and cared for. We have approximately 500 lots under Per- petual Care and 300 are under annual care, our total number of lots being about 1,000. Twelve hundred running feet of cement gutter 15 inches wide on the avenues that needed it have been laid at a cost of 20 cents per running foot. Our need now is a building for the equip- ment and funds to reconstruct the capping of the western part of the front stone wall. The front has been improved and it remains now only to construct the western portion of the wall in conformity to the other part. Then we feel that the entrances and street wall are in permanent shape needing only the usual care each year as walls of this kind can be kept in perfeet con- dition indefinitely by a little annual attention. A new lowering device and a set of evergreen covering have been added to the equipment at a cost of $250.00. BENJAMIN F. FULLERTON, WLLIAM E. LUDDEN, W.

Organization as follows: Chairman, Charles E. Light ; Secretary, Tom D. Emmett ; Department Physician, George W. Gale, M. D. Appointed Plumbing Inspector, Thomas W. Sutherst ; Inspector of Milk and Cattle, Arthur W. Sawyer, V. S. ; Burial Agent, Henry A. Parker; Care of Dead Animals, W. Charles Sellick. Health and Sanitation We regret that it has been necessary to expend so large a sum of money this year but this has been forced upon us by circum- stances over which we had no control. A larger number of patients have been committed to Middleton this year than in any preceding year. This incurs an expense of $9.10 per week for each person which comes direct from the appropriation. An unusual number of non-resident cases have been treated in other cities and towns and charged to Saugus, they having obtained a legal settlement here; i. e., had resided in Saugus five con- secutive years and had not resided the same period of time in any other town or city to gain a settlement elsewhere. About $600 has been spent on mosquito work. As to the advisability of continuing this work you will have an opportunity to express yourselves at the annual town meeting. Piggeries The Board has taken a defiuite step in the elimination of objectionable piggeries. The result has shown that a town can- not prevent the carrying of offal through the streets (if request has been made for registration for this purpose) unless the man- ner in which it is done constitutes a nuisance. Any future pro- cedure must be based on conditions at the piggery on evidence of nuisance, source of filth and resultant sickness. : 236 TOWN DOCUMENTS.

[Dec. $ Report of Superintendent of Schools To the School Committee and Other Citizens of Saugus The Superintendent of Schools herewith submits his ninth annual report of the condition, progress and needs of the schools of Saugus, the same being the thirty-fourth annual school report. Each year the same problems present themselves and we endeavor to solve them in part at least, but thus far have been unable to arrive at satisfactory solutions, particularly in respect to housing and equipment. We have endeavored to follow the policy of economy without seriously interfering with' educational advancement. Possibly we have erred in this direction but with the tax rate as high as it is in the Town of Saugus the expendi- ture of some $200,000 should not be made without the most careful consideration and serious comparison of educational values. Our appropriation of March 1926 was an increase of $10,800 over that of the preceding year. This was due some- what to the current expenses connected with the new Junior High School. This school did not open until September of this year, consequently the running expense will be very much greater in 1927 than it has been in 1926. We should bear in mind that year by year we are securing a little more from the State Department on account of the income tax provision, as shown by the following figures. Total appropriation General Fund, March 1926 $185,300 Received from state income tax 33>°55 Raised by taxation for general fund $152,245 Raised by taxation for repair fund 10,750 For heating systems in Emerson and High Schoos 13,000 Net amount raised by direct taxation $1 75,995 The problem of preventing the loss of valuable teachers to other towns and cities who are paying larger salaries is a matter I926] REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE. 5 of the deepest concern and although we believe in keeping the running expense of our schools within reasonable limits, the loss of these teachers constitutes more or less of a menace to the educational interest of the boys and girls of the town. For this reason we should not think so deeply of the expenditure of the few thousands of dollars extra that we forget our duty to those who look to us for that to which they are entitled—an education at public expense. Besides it is not always economy from a material standpoint to allow teachers of known worth to pass out of our school system. We have several class-rooms partially filled by repeaters—those who did not succeed in meeting the educational requirements. These boys and girls not only lose a year out of the time they can afford to devote to study, but often become discouraged, inat- tentive and troublesome in the class-room. In addition to this the attention of several additional teachers is necessary to take care of these unsuccessful boys and girls. In other words, we may save in the beginning but we lose on the way. Every effort should be made to prepare every boy and girl for promotion at the end of each school year. Doubtless in many instances this condition is made impossible because of the too frequent change of teachers. Our teaching force is still doing excellent service but as we stated in our last report, ones best service cannot be rendered during the first year. The problem is not entirely a teachers problem. It is a problem in the solution of which we must all cooperate, a teacher in her capacity, the Superidtendent in his and the voters of the town in theirs. Since our last report we have lost 21 teachers as follows : On the following tables the column on the left gives the names of those who have left during 1926. The column on the right gives the names of their successors.

Miss Allbee is conducting physical culture in the first six grades. Last year all school athletics and physical education was under tbe supervision of Mr. Bangs. Attendance Attendance upon school duties every day is a prime essential for the success of any pupil and it should be remembered that illness and illness alone is the only valid excuse for absence. We therefore urge each and every parent or guardian to cooperate with us along this line. The percentage of attendance should be very materially raised. Transportation The cost for this item, increases year by year. This is inevit- able, as much of the town's development is of necessity at some distance from the center of population and consequently some- what remote from adequate school privileges. The Sweetser School This building is now being occupied by a part of the Junior High School, namely : grades seven and eight of the Cliftondale, W. Cliftondale and East Saugus sections and has solved the "two platoon" problem, temporarily. We are enjoying a very large return on the expenditure and feel that the building com- mittee has rendered the town a distinct service in securing so much of beauty and usefulness for the amount expended. General Housing Conditions We have said that the "two platoon" problem has been solved "temporarily." We use the last word advisedly, for we shall be back on the "two platoon" system again on or before I926] REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE. 7 the opening of the school year in 1928. It is possible that we may continue as at present during the coming year. What are we going to do about it? Whatever is to be done should be begun without delay. Our High School has suffered an ir- reparable loss already because of part-time plans. We can ill afford to allow such a condition to overtake us a second time. Regarding grade school housing conditions we have several distinct problems. At No. Saugus we were obliged to re-adjust our grades by placing grades four and six in one room and three and five in another, while grades one and two were crowded into the third room under one teacher who "day by day in every way" is trying to do two teachers work. The fourth room of this building should be finished and equipped before the opening of another school year. At the Lynnhurst similar conditions will obtain next year. In fact there are too many now in the room occupied by grades one and two. In grade one alone there are twenty-six and they must remain there whether they be promoted or not. It is fair to presume that as many more will appear in next year's first grade. What is the answer? We may be able to meet conditions by a readjustment of grades, but it will be only a temporary solution. The matter should be given serious attention without delay. At Oaklandvale the fourth room should be equipped, for there are now forty-one pupils in grades one and two under one teacher. This number will probably be materially increased next year. At the Roby School in grades one and two we have very over- crowded conditions. Grade two has gone beyond the limit and grade one has broken the record with an enrollment of fifty-eight. We have done our best to relieve these conditions by sending to other schools, but those schools are also over-crowded, con- sequently the only solution is the equipment of another room. The renovation of the old school, while by no means ideal, is one way out of the difficulty. Something must be done. Felton, Cliftondale and Armitage schools are either over- crowded or approaching that condition, but an. additional room at the Roby would make room for transfers sufficient to relieve whatever congestion might exist in those buildings. We are far behind on our school building program, while dwelling houses are going up by the score. Doubtless, there will be school children in those dwelling-houses next year. What are we going to do with them ? We look to the tax-payers for an answer. 8 TOWN DOCUMENTS. [Dec. 3T Our Health Program After the resignation of Mr. Bangs who had charge of physical instruction and athletics last year, it was thought best to employ a full time supervisor of physical culture for the Elementary grades. Accordingly we secured the service of Miss Arline Allbee, a graduate of the Sargent School and much good work is being done in the interests of better physical development. This line of work scientifically carried out will do much to fortify children against illness and will thus prove a potent factor in our health program. "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." The Board of Health, school physicians and school nurse are united in a determined effort to combat diseases among school children and their efforts are sure to bring about far better condi- tions among children who have had the advantages of proper physical development from the beginning of school life. We hope for and confidently expect a large return on our investment for the physical welfare of our boys and girls. Special Reports As those who are rendering service along special lines are sub- mitting individual reports we offer nothing here excepting our expression of appreciation for their excellent work and cheerful cooperation. Your attention is respectfully called to their reports. Repairs Repair work during the past year has been done almost entirely on the interior of our school buildings and on seats and desks. Great improvement has been made, but much still needs to be done. Among the important pieces of work done during the past year we call attention to the following : At the High School all rooms on second floor with one excep- tion have been painted, one new ceiling installed and about four hundred desks refinished. The basement has been thoroughly renovated. A granolithic walk has also been laid from near the side door to Central street, and necessary grading done. At this school during the coming year, we should paint the lower halls, all rooms on lower floor, the library on second floor, install four metal ceilings, cover dadoes in halls, improve shower-bath conditions in basement. I926] REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE. 9 The Roby school building has received much needed attention. We have installed four metal ceilings, painted or varnished the interior throughout, excepting the principal's office, and have refinished all desks. There is left to be done, the varnishing of the principal's room, painting of toilets in basement, resurfacing basement floor and some white-washing. Two radiators should be replaced to pre- vent escape of steam producing damage and discomfort in the third grade room. Light fixtures should be installed where needed. At the Felton School we have laid two floors, have painted or varnished throughout, built a new bulk-head and erected fire partitions in accordance with the State requirements. All desks have been re-finished and other miscellaneous work done. During the coming year we should replace the heating system by a more modern one, lay two floors and white-wash the base- ment. At the Armitage school but little was demanded. However it would be well to paint the exterior wood work and varnish the interior during the coming year, also to erect bulk-heads over cellar entrances. A coat of paint would improve interior of the halls. At the Cliftondale School, necessary painting has been done, desks refinished, electric lights installed, furnace repairs made, and one chimney re-built from roof. Four floors should be laid in this building as the old ones are very much worn, one ceiling should be installed, basement white- washed, heating system replaced and outside woodwork painted another coat. The interior of the Emerson School has been painted, except- ing the halls, all desks refinished and an entirely new heating system installed. The halls need to be painted and basement whitewashed. At the Ballard School necessary painting has been done and desks refinished, but something should be done where the burlap is now falling off. Some kind of wall board should be used over the burlap and thus make a permanent piece of work. Two new ceilings should be installed in this building. The interior of the Mansfield building is now in very good condition. We have installed two ceilings, laid two floors and have done necessary painting. All desks have been refinished. Additional floors should be laid. The basement whitewashed and the belfry looked after. The halls of this building should be heated. IO TOWN DOCUMENTS. [Dec. 31 The interior of the Lynnhurst building has been painted and desks of two rooms refinished. The third room of desks should be varnished, and basement whitewashed. Ihere is a decided need of more urinal space in the basement. This should be looked after as soon as convenient. The interior of the No. Saugus building has been painted but it needs another coat. One new ceiling has been installed and desks have been refinished. This building should be painted outside and the spare-room finished and equipped. At the Oaklandvale, two floors have been laid, two ceilings installed, necessary painting done and the greater part of desks refinished. The halls of this building should be heated and the fourth room finished and equipped. Besides the improvements mentioned other smaller pieces of work have been done. Hand-rails have been placed on stair- ways of all buildings and the general wear and tear looked after from day to day. In general the interiors of our buildings are in very good con- dition. They should be kept so. A Few Comparisons According to the Annual Report of the State Department of Education for the year ending June 30, 1926, the group of which Saugus is one comprises seventy-nine towns having a population of five thousand or more. This group does not include the thirty-nine cities of the Commonwealth. From this report we submit a brief table that may be of in- terest to those who seek first hand information with respect to relative costs of education.

The above table shows that although but : I926] REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE. II seven towns had a total tax r ite larger than that of Saugus, four- teen had a larger school tax rate. Our cost per pupil, both gross and net, was exceedingly low, our town being number seventy-two in the list of seventy-nine, while our state reinbursement was comparatively large there being but four towns in the group that received larger sums than did the town of Saugus. Our per capita cost is slightly higher now, but is still below the average. We believe in true economy, but not in the saving of money at the expense of school efficiency. A larger expenditure for education is justifiable. Our recommendations are as follows 1. Extension of school grounds. Much building is going on and we are glad of it, but there are certain lots of land that should be annexed to our school grounds— not used for private dwellings. 2. Preparation of a play-ground at the rear of the High School. 3. Completion and equipment of the spare school rooms at No. Saugus and at Oaklandvale. 4. Provisions for the erection and equipment of a new school building near the center of population or for the enlargement of one or more of our present school buildings. 5. The raising of funds sufficient to bring our High School laboratory equipment up to date. 6. Completion of equipment for the Sweetser School Building. 7. Super-maximum salaries for teachers of sufficient experience and for those who take special courses in education. In Conclusion During the past year we have given special attention to several subjects which we list under separate headings as follows : Silent Reading This is simply an extension of an old process so as to include all grades instead of being confined to the first and second. The pupil reads a sentence or paragraph without lip movment and is then called upon to give the teacher the contents of it. In this way the child is taught, not only to read rapidly but to assimilate 1 12 TOWN DOCUMENTS. [Dec. 3 what is read. This training should result in the saving of time and a better preparation of work in other subjects, for it teaches a pupil how to study. The Course in Geography Up to last year our geography below grade five was somewhat lacking in continuity, consequently, after a careful survey we decided to place basal texts in the hands of all pupils above grade two. This has been done, and now our course in geography is complete from grade three to grade seven inclusive. Junior High Course Believing that the Junior High School should be something more than a name, we introduced at the opening of the present school year as electives in grade eight, Latin, French and Com- mercial Arthmetic, with the understanding that every pupil must choose one of these in addition to the regular fundamental requirements. Every year we have experienced much inconvenience and loss of time in the Senior High resulting from frequent changing of courses on the part of pupils. We believe that this trouble has been eliminated, in part at least, by having the "trying out" process take place in grade eight. This is one of the advantages of a Junior High School system. Besides the above outstanding improvements more attention has been given other modern methods of teaching such as super- vised study, socialized recitations and the project methcd. On the whole we feel justified in saying that the past year has been one of distinct advancement, but much yet should be done, one of the most pressing needs being a change in certain English texts in order that the subject may be more uniformly taught. We are not giving sufficient attention to technical grammar or the analysis of the English sentence. As a result, teachers of Latin and French in the High School often find it necessary to teach English, as well, or have many failures charged against their departments. This condition results not from any fault of grade teachers, but rather from a modern tendency to shape courses that promise much on paper but are so decidedly lacking in the fundamentals that the promises can hardly be fulfilled. We shall give this matter our special attention during the coming year. 3 1926] REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE. 1 For continued support of the School Committee, loyal co- operation of teachers, and general good fellowship of all con- cerned your Superintendent expresses his deep appreciation.

I still think this should be done. Very respectfully, MYRON H. DAVIS. January 12, 1927. Mr. Jesse IV. Lambert, Supt. of Schools, Saugus, Mass. Dear Sir ; —I herewith submit my annual report for the year ending December 31, 1926. The usual physical examination of the pupils in the Cliftondale, Armitage, Felton and Sweetser schools was made at the be- ginning of the fall term. I found the following defects Tonsils slightly enlarged 293 Seborrhea of scalp 3 Tonsils much enlarged 174 Adenoids 4 Cervical glands enlarged 27 Spinal curvature 5 Pediculosis 25 Impetigo 1 Heart defects 3 Infantile paralysis 2 Deflected septum 5 I have made a few calls at the Sweetser School when pupils have been taken ill. In one instance a girl had an attack of epilepsy and there was no place for her to recover from the attack except on the floor by her desk. I believe there is a very urgent need of a couch in the teachers room which may be used both for teachers and pupils when taken ill. Respectfully submitted, LEROY C. FURBUSH. I926] REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE. 15 Report of the Attendance Officer To the School Committee: The year just closed has been a very busy one on the part of the Attendance Officer. It requires more and more persuasion to keep the young people 14 to 16 years of age at school as they seem to be possessed of the idea to go to work, and in too many instances it has seemed best (on account of need of more income in the home) to grant their request for the necessary working card. I have committed two boys to the Lawrence Training School this year, and one has been placed in a private school in Boston by his parents. The installation of telephones in the schools has been a great aid to the attendance but has added much to my work. It often occurs while looking up 3 or 4 pupils that it takes me to Bakers Hill, Blueridge, North and East Saugus, however, the attend- ance this year has been greatly improved. Respectfully submitted, CHARLES E. LIGHT, Attendance Officer. Report of the High School Principal Mr. J. W. Lambert, Superintendent of Schools, Saugus, Mass. : Dear Sir, — I respectfully submit my fifth annual report. We have been able, by the erection of the new eight room Sweetser School building, in Cliftondale, to abolish the two platoon system this year. How long we will be able to do with- out the two platoon system is a question, depending upon the number of incoming seventh grade students. The new building in Cliftondale contains eight rooms ; seating about forty pupils to a room, making the total capacity 320 students. The plan was to have this building accommodate all pupils from that section of the town, or namely ; all incoming seventh grade pupils in the Armitage, Emerson, Felton and all pupils of the Ballard school, live south of Winter Street who ; and all eighth grade pupils who formerly attended these schools. The seventh and eighth grade pupils living in Lynnhurst, North l6 TOWN DOCUMENTS. [DeC.31 Saugus, Oaklandvale, Golden Hills, Saugus Center and the pupils in East Saugus, living north of Winter Street, were to attend the Saugus Center building. To accommodate the number of pupils, who were to attend the Saugus Center Junior High, we were forced to use four rooms for seventh grade pupils, and three rooms for eighth grade pupils, in addition to our regular Senior High pupils. The time schedule which we are using this year is slightly different from last year's. It was, at first, planned to have a six period day, but when the program was worked out it was found that owing to the large number of classes in the Senior High there were not enough rooms in the building to accommodate these classes, with a six period day, therefore, it was necessary for us to have a seven period day. In order to get in the seven periods, with recess and physical education, and still have school close reasonably early, it was found necessary to open school at eight o'clock. Following is the schedule : Opening exercises from 8 :oo to 8 :io First period 8:iotoS:50 Second period 8 =50 to 9 130 Physical Education 9 130 to 9 140 Third period 9 :\o to ro :2o Fourth period 10 :20 to 1 t : Fifth period n :- to 1 1 140 Junior Intermission 1 1 140 to 1 2 : Senior Intermission 12: to 12:20 Sixth period 1 2 :20 to 1 : Seventh period 1 :oo to 1 :40 You will note by the program that Physical Education is given in the Junior and Senior High at the same time. The exercises are conducted by boys who are instructed by the Physical Director. Number of Students in the Senior and Junior High On September 8, school opened with an enrollment in the Junior and Senior High as follows : Junior High— 7th grade, 144 students; 8th grade, 117 students; total in Junior High 261 students. students (Sopho- Senior High— (Freshman) 9th grade, 256 ; more) 10th grade, 117 students; (Junior) 1 ith grade, 69 students ; (Senior) 12th grade, 63 students; total in Senior High 505 students. I926] REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE. I 7 Total number of students who registered at Saugus High School on September 8, 1926, was 766 students. Number of students who were attending the High School, December 22, 1926, were as follows : grade, 1 students 1 students Junior High— 7th 29 ; 8th grade, 10 ; total in Junior High, 239 students. (Freshman) 9th grade, 232 students; (Sophomore) 10th grade, 112 students; nth grade, students (Senior) 12th (Junior) 64 ; grade, 63 students; total in Senior High, 471 students. Total number of students attending Saugus High School, December 22, 1926, 710. You will notice by comparing the above figures that we have had the following number of students drop out of school during the fall term. Seventh grade, 15 students ; 8th grade, 7 students ; 9th grade, 24 students; 10th grade, 5 students; nth grade, 5 students; 12th grade, o students ; total number 56 students. Graduates Diplomas were given sixty-three students last June, thirty-four of whom were girls and twenty-nine boys. We have, at the present time, eleven of last year's graduates attending colleges. Three are attending business schools. Five are attending normal schools, and twelve are attending other schools of higher education. Making a total of thirty-one or fifty per cent of the class are going to other schools or colleges. Eleven, or eighteen per cent, are attending colleges of recognized standing. As we look over the records we notice there is an increasing number of students, each year, who are pursuing higher education after leaving high school. Standing of Saugus High School In May, 1926, we received word from the New England College Entrance Certificate Board that Saugus High School had been placed on the approved list for a period of four years, ending December 31, 1930. This gives us the privilege to certify any student who received 85 per cent or better in all subjects he has taken while a student in the high school, to enter, without examination, any of the following colleges : Amherst College Middlebury College Bates College Bowdoin College : l8 TOWN DOCUMENTS. [Dec. 3 I Boston University Brown University Colby College Tufts College Mass. Agricultural College Wesleyan University Williams College Owing to the fact that we are on the approved list of the New England College Certificate Board, it enables us to certify students to colleges which are not members of the board. For instance, Simmons College, University of Maine and Wheaton College will accept our certificate for graduates who maintain a mark of 85 percent or better. From the State Department of Education, at Boston, we have been informed that Saugus High School has been placed on the Class A list for the year 1926-1927. This entitles us to certify, to any State Normal School, students graduating from Saugus High School. The students are, however, expected to receive an average of 80 per cent in the subjects taken while they are in the high school in order to enter Normal School without exam- ination. Some of the factors which determine whether a school would be considered a Class A high school or not are as follows The number of teachers should be such that the ration of the pupils, to the teachers, should not exceed twenty-five to one. Not more than half of the classes in the school should have over twenty-five students each. A careful record of the students must be kept and at least 15 units be required for graduation. All graduates of the high school, who attend Normal School must do satisfactory work for the first year. If a school complies with the above rules it is rated, by the State Department, as a Class A high school. To make it clearer I might state, that; we enjoy all the certifi- cate privileges that any other high school does in this section of the state and can give any student as good an education as they can, in so far as our equipment will permit, provided that each student applies himself while attending school. Size of Classes in the Senior and Junior High In order for Saugus High School to continue to be rated as a Class A High School, it is necessary for us to keep the size of the classes approximately not over twenty-five. In the Senior High School, at the present time, we have one hundred seven classes, averaging in size from six to thirty-nine students. Seventy-one of these classes have twenty-five or less 926] REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE. 19 tudents, and thirty-six of the one hundred and seven have twenty- ve or more students per class. As more than fifty per cent of our lasses have less than twenty-five students this fact will assist us 1 continuing to be rated as a Class A high school. Junior High In the Junior High the pupils in each room take subjects to- gether during the day, so that the size of the classes will be governed by the number of pupils in each home room, except in he case of the Manual Training and Sewing Classes. The verage size of classes in the seventh grade is thirty-three pupils, nd the average size of eighth grade classes is thirty-seven pupils. The boys in each room report fcr Manual Training, two periods >er week, and the girls for sewing , the same. The average size )f seventh grade sewing classes is fourteen girls, of the eighth jrade classes, nineteen. The average size of the seventh grade vlanual Training classes is nineteen, of the eighth grade classes, eventeen boys. Cooking is not offered in the eighth grade this year, owing to :he fact that in the Sweetser School, no equipment was provided for this subject. Thus, in order to train all pupils in a similar manner, it was thought best not to give cooking to any pupils in the eighth grade. Teaching Staff We were not as fortunate during the past year in retaining as many of our teachers, as we have been in former years, in that we lost five teachers in the Senior High, namely ; Miss Elizabeth Marsh, teacher of Latin, who was replaced by Miss Elva Osier. Mrs. Hazel Reid Williams, teacher of French, replaced by Miss Alice Shattuck. Miss Miriam Rideout, teacher of mathematics, replaced by Mr. Albion Rice, who also takes the place of Mr. William Bangs, as athletic coach and director of physical training, in the Senior and Junior High Schools. Miss Ruth Motherwell, head of the English Department, re- placed by Miss Effie Stanhope, who is to teach senior English, but who is not acting as head of the department this year. In the Junior High School we lost the following teacher : Miss Martha Walker, who was the teacher of Domestic Science, reading and spelling. As the majority of Miss Walker's work 1 20 TOWN DOCUMENTS. [Dec. 3 was teaching cooking in the eighlh grade, and owing to the fact that this subject was not given this year, we did not need an extra teacher. After school opened in September we lost three additional teachers, namely : Mr. Nish, in the Senior High, who was the teacher of mathe- matics, who was replaced by Mr. Elmer Watson. Miss Hall, teacher of Sewing, in the seventh and eighth grades, replaced by Miss Evelyn Matthews. Mr, John Carter, teacher of seventh grade geography, replaced by Miss Mabel Nelson. Saugus has been extremely fortunate, in the past, when we consider the salaries which are paid here, in being able to retain teachers of high standing. Unless something is done in the near future, in regard to the salaries of teachers, many of our ex- perienced and competent teachers will leave us and take positions in more lucrative fields. Changes and Improvements in the Senior and Junior High One of the greatest helps, to the Saugus Senior and Junior High School, was the abolishing of the two platoon system and returning to the single session, which we were able to' do by the erection of the new Junior High building in Cliftondale. This brings all of the students both Junior and Senior High to school in the morning, when their minds are fresh and clear, to do the intensive school work which is required. One change which has taken place in our program has been the offering of French, Latin, and commercial arithmetic to the eighth grade students, in the Junior High. Students, in the eighth grade, at the beginning of the year, are supposed to elect one of the three above subjects and pursue the same throughout the year. These courses are offered to pupils in the eighth grade so as to find out if they will like the subject and care to take it in the Senior High. The purpose of the course is not to cover any definite amount of material, but to adjust the material, to the pupils, who will be taking the subject each year. Our library equipment has been improved, by the addition of a new bookcase which was purchased by the town, and also, by a gift of one hundred and fifty dollars, which was presented by the Class of 1926, this money to be spent for books which are most needed at the present time in our library. The importance of a library in the high school has been realized throughout the I926] REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE. 21 I ! country in the past few years. In fact it is as necessary as the Physics or Chemistry laboratory is, in order to be able to present the subject of Physics or Chemistry to the students in the right light, so the high school library is needed in the school in order that the teachers may send pupils there to look up information not in the text-books they are using. We were extremely glad to see, at the opening of school, the granolithic walk, extending from the high school, to Central street. The old dirt walk, has always been unsatisfactory in that a great deal of dirt and mud has been tracked into the build- ing during certain seasons of the year. During the summer the redecorating of the school rooms was continued, from where it was left off the previous year. All of the recitation rooms and halls on the second floor were painted, the ceilings in white and the walls in a steel gray. The color decoration is lighter than it previously was and this has made the classrooms a great deal lighter and more pleasing. The basement also was repainted, the upper half of the walls white and the lower half in a dark gray. This makes the basement appear much neater and cleaner 'as it had not been painted for some time. One improvement which has been noticeable during the winter months was the renovating of the heating plant. In the old part of the building two hot air furnaces which were formerly used have been removed and steam heat has been installed, piped from the old boilers. A separate heating unit was installed, to heat the Assembly Hall and the corridors which makes it far more convenient when the hall is used for entertainments, as it is not necessary to heat the whole building. By the removal of the old furnaces we have been able, on the boys' side of the basement, to partition off a supply closet where supplies needed for school use can be stored. On the girls' side of the basement the extra space has been added to the old cook- ing room, furnishing a sewing room which is at present used by the Junior High sewing classes. Owing to the fact that we had to use so many of the rooms in the building for the Junior High, we found it necessary to have classes in the cooking room, this means that two classes are in progress at the same time several days in the week. A closet on the first floor, which was formerly used for draw- ing supplies has been cleared and changed into a small class room. We found it necessary to do this owing to the large number of classes and insufficient rooms. : 22 TOWN DOCUMENTS. [Dec. 31 Suggested Improvements Owing to fact that the building has presented a far better appear- ance under its new coat of paint, I would suggest that the class rooms on the first floor, which is the only remaining part that has not been painted, be redecorated during the coming summer. I still feel that our library, which is being used by a large number of students, needs more books and equipment to bring it up to the standard. I feel that, every year, a small amount of money should be set aside to purchase books and necessary equip- ment to bring our library up to the standing of other schools of its size. In nearly every walk of life a knowledge of science is necessary. I Therefore, the number of students who are taking courses in General Science, Physics and Chemistry is large, and our labora- tory facilities are not what they should be. In order to make science courses interesting and have them presented to the students in the right way, more equipment is needed. The apparatus which must be used in this work is expensive. I feel that there should be appropriated each year, for the next few years, at least five hundred dollars, to be spent in purchasing modern up to date apparatus, for our General Science, Physics and Chemistry de- partments. In closing I wish to thank the School Committee, Superin- tendent of Schools, parents and teachers for their hearty coop- eration during the past year. Respectfully submitted, ROBERT R. WEBBER, Principal. Report of Principal of Sweetser Junior High Mr. Jesse W. Lambert, Superintendent of Schools, Saugus, Mass. Dear Sir, — I have the honor of presenting for your approval, the initial report on the Sweetser Junior High School after four months of operation. A sweeping survey of conditions, objectives and results from September 8, 1926, to December 22, 1926, would seem to indicate that our new addition to the school system is functioning satis- factorily. I926] REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE. 27, New location, new building, trained corps of teachers, etc., gave a fresh start to 286 pupils, 145 eighth year and 141 seventh. Natural causes, transfers, sickness, compulsory work, etc., have brought the present enrollment to 272. Junior High School, no more, no less, is the impression we wish to have the students get. The many features of Junior High, distinct from either Elementary or High School, are what determine in large part the atmosphere of the school. Certainly we can not introduce all the features of the model new unit, but eventually, one at a time can be fitted in without undue hard- ship and expense. In September we had the materials, a fine building, and an appropriate number of pupils. Today we have background, a school body, a spirit that will permit of introduction of ideas of proven helps to the individual boy and girl, as well as group. Sweetser has eight full time and four part time teachers, all experienced in Junior High work. This is a very good asset to the school, especially in the case of the students taking lab- oratory courses where the teachers labor under difficulty due to lack of equipment found in other schools of larger size. Time and attention can dispose of this problem. In the regular major studies we have adequate material, teachers, trained for their special subjects, and therefor in- struction in their work should be very thorough. Our daily schedule is much the same as that at the Central Junior High with the exception that our physical education under pupil leaders comes daily after the third period. Once a week the pupils of two home room sections join in the as- sembly hall for special drill exercises, given by Mr. Rice. The 40 minute period from 11.40 to 12.20 is for penman- ship and recess. Divisions 7 and 8 alternate, Grade 7 having the first recess of twenty minutes while the older class is hav- ing Penmanship. General assemblies in the auditorium give the pupils of special abilities a chance to perform. I hope to have a great many pupils take some part in . assembly at least once before June. Such training develops power and is of great value to the participant. Our Junior Council aims for student lead- ership. Proposed innovations to be instituted during the second term will include a systematic guidance program, ( lub work, a savings arrangement, and outdoor athletics in moderation. 34 TOWN DOCUMENTS.

Attendance 3. A willing spirit 2. Health 4. Study, in school and at home If parents would realize the serious break caused by imperfect attendance, perhaps that danger of failure in school would be eliminated. Insistence on daily attendance will help the school, teachers, parents, and chiefly the pupil. Regularity in every thing can well be learned by acquiring the habit of regular attendance at school. Health of growing boys and girls must be carefully watched. In cases of emergency, daily check up and sickness, the School Physician, School Nurse, Dentist and teachers are all ready to render assistance to any pupil needing attention. The will to do, makes the path easier through every task and hour, in school or out. Unless the right attitude can be obtained somehow, nothing will avail. The study problem is taken care of in school, but the pupils of the graduating division have so much new work to prepare for a day's lessons, that home study must be done. If parents will cooperate with the school and see that their children profit by systematic study at home in the afternoon, or early evening they will be insuring the child's chance for promotion. The newly instituted Parent-Teacher Association should have a very helpful bearing on matters within the control of parents, among these being home study and attendance. Much interest has been shown in the organization of the association, and I feel sure it will be a real benefit to the school. i926] report of school committee. 25 Recommendations. I. The students have no place for indoor recreation. An appropriate room could easily be provided by clearing out and equipping the unused basement beneath the auditorium. II. The grounds should be as well-appointed as is fitting to set off the handsome building. Giading and planting should be done this spring. III. The teachers' room should not present a professional aspect. A home like appearance can be secured by providing a few necessary pieces of furniture. On many occasions, especially emergencies, it is well to draw a distinction between formal school room, and the place where student or teacher may come for a short time of rest. IV. The sewing room, manual training room, and science department should be more fully equipped. The pupils of the Sweetser Junior High have a fine school plant, well lighted, heated, clean and sanitary. Scores of little details have been looked after. A great amount of time was necessary to provide for, and start this school on time in September. I thank you, Mr. Lambert, for all you have done for the school, for your assistance and valuable help to me I wish also to ex- press my apprf ciation for the good will and interest of the school officials and parents, and the cooperation of the teachers who work with me to make my school a success. Respectfully submitted, LEON C. YOUNG, Principal. Report of the Supervisor of Music in the Junior and Senior High Schools. Dear Mr. Lambert,— I submit herewith a brief report of the work of the Music Department for 1926. Junior High Schools As usual, classes met two periods a week, during which time we taught the proper performance and enjoyment of good music. ^ The Junior Orchestra and groups of singers from each grade gave a most excellent concert during National Music Week and at the school exhibition. 26 town documents. [Dec. 31 This year our orchestra is much smaller than in previous years because the pupils from the Sweetser School have to come to the High School for rehearsals, there being no piano in the new school. It seems to be almost impossible to get out the entire personnel. Continuing the plan and offer of the past two years, the Music Department again sponsored the purchase of violins or any other musical instrument on a convenient repayment plan for all pupils interested. A number of instruments have been purchased through the Department and violin class instruction is given for a small fee to about twenty. Mr. Russell Peterson has been engaged as instructor, and class sessions are held once a week. Senior High School In spite of the deplorable necessity of all musical organizations meeting after school hours, each club managed to progress in its work because of the loyalty and sacrifice of the members and the hardest kind of personal endeavor on my part. Thus they achieved a success commensurate with the clubs of former years. The outstanding event of the year, and in fact of any year, was the rendition of the great oratorio "Creation" by Haydn. Pro- fessional soloists of high rank were engaged to sing the solo roles, while the mixed Glee Club sang the chorus parts and the School Orchestra played the accompaniments. The magnificent singing and playing of this extremely difficult and very beautiful music by the boys and girls was a revelation to all who heard the performance. A few months previous to the above concert the Boys' Glee Club gave a program consisting of concert numbers and a short operetta of college life. This they greatly enjoyed doing and their friends enjoyed hearing. The several musical clubs gave individual programs through- out the year for various affairs in and out of school. At the present time the prospects are splendid for the best orchestra in the history of the school if each member of it con- tinues to do his part. Recently a small group selected from the general ensemble played for the Riverside Club Guest Night observance and at the Christmas party of the Kiwanis Club of Lynn. The Band should be larger this year than last. Tt has proved to be a very popular organization both in and out of school, and I am trying my best to make* it a permanent organization in the school. Here again, our trouble is non-attendance at rehearsals 1Q26] REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE. 27 during the Spring and Fall especially when the boys are expected to practice base-ball and foot ball. Also, many of our boys work after school hours. The Glee Club is considerably larger than in former years, due no doubt to the fact that time limited rehearsals have been held in school hours. A concert is planned for the Spring of the year. A few of the members of this school are members of the above mentioned violin class. National Music Week For the fourth time, since the inauguration of the National Music Week observance, the Musical Clubs of the school have sponsored a week of musical activities free to the townspeople. We gratefully acknowledge the assistance of Miss Laura Cram and Miss Bertha Snow in presenting programs of real merit and interest. As mentioned above, the pupils of the Junior High School presented a concert during this observance worthy of real commendation. In Conclusion I urge consideration of giving credit toward graduation for musical studies outside of the school, with accredited teachers or music schools. I also earnestly urge that the seven period day be continued in the High School in order that one period may be reserved, not for regular recitation, but as a club period, at which time the Musical Clubs, Spanish, French, Commercial Clubs, etc., may meet as a regular feature of the school curriculum. This is no untried venture, as many of our finest and most prominent schools are finding in it a solution of the vexing problem of attendance at and interest in the clubs, and incidentally a factor in promoting school spirit and loyalty. We are still hoping a grand piano may materialize for the High School, but realize that the need of a piano for the Sweetser School must have first consideration. I thank you, Mr. Lambert, for your ever ready co-operation and interest ; also Mr. Webber, the members of the school com- mittee, the pupils, teachers, and those of our townspeople who have in any way helped me to make a success of our school music. Respectfully jours, C. FRANCIS WOODS : 28 TOWN DOCUMENTS. [Dec. 31 Report on Domestic Science Mr. J. W. Lambert, Supt. of Schools, Saugus, Mass. : Dear Mr. Lambert,—I herewith submt miy fourth annual report for the Domestic Science Department. The course has been slightly changed since the report for 1925 was written. In the Junior High School, no cooking is given this year but sewing is given in both seventh and eighth grades. The sewing in the seventh grade is most elementary. Each girl keeps a note book with outlines and samples of stitches, she also makes a ribbon sewing case, a cooking cap and apron and a simple cotton dress. In the eighth grade the note book is continued and each pupil makes a piece of underwear, a linen towel hemstitched and em- broidered, a night dress and a cotton dress, more difficult than the one made in the seventh grade. No regular cooking course is offered in the Senior High School as it is impossible to give a cooking lesson in a single period, and until a double period can be offered lunch room cookery is all that can be given. Lunches are being served again for the first time in three years. They are planned to give both teachers and pupils a lunch at the lowest possible cost and pay all expenses.

This twenty dollars has been repaid and thirty five more put in the bank to the credit of the Department, so that our balance is now $155.59 and all bills are paid. 1926] REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE. 29 Household Arts is being given in the High School this year, alternating with Home Nursing which was given last year. This course includes a thorough study of everything which goes to make up a home, selecting the site, building and planning the home, selecting the furniture, rugs, draperies and every type of equipment. They also study menu making, meal planning and serving simple dietitics and budgeting. Each girl keeps a very complete notebook. The dressmaking class is divided according to the amount of their previous training. The first year pupils make seven pieces of work, including underwear, a tailored blouse, a plain wool dress or skirt, a simple silk dress and two or more summer dresses of cotton and linen. The second and third year girls make more difficult pieces including a man's shirt, a sport coat, and dresses of more difficult construction than those which were made the previous year. Respectfully submitted, EMILY S. WOODBURY. Report of Manual Training Department Mr. Jesse W. Lambert, Supt. of Schools, Saugus, Mass. : In the Manual Training Department of the past year, boys of the seventh grade each made afoot stool for the first model which was finished with stain and shellac. Some were covered with imitation leather and were very much appreciated by the parents, who in many cases had their boys make one or two extra. The second project was selected by the boys from three models, an umbrella rack, fernery, or three legged taboret. In giving them an opportunity for selection an opening was made for group in- struction on each of the problems, thereby a pupil, altho making only one, had the opportunity to see how the other projects were constructed. In the seventh grade there were about. 150 foot stools, 18 taborets, 10 ferneries, 15 umbrella stands completed. The eighth grade made individual things from the beginning. Several library tables, several end tables, four radio tables, four hat trees, 25 taborets, several stools of individual design, 10 fern- eries, 15 umbrella stands, besides sewing cabinets and book shelves. In addition to the regular classwork 1 made the stage scenery which was used for the senior play ; the footlights ; a canopy over : 30 TOWN DOCUMENTS. [Dec. 3 I the stage, and the removable raised step platform for the stage, and two flights of stairs to the stage. Owing to the lack of equipment at the Swee ? ser school the M inual Training so far has been limited to Mechanical Drawing, because it would be unfair to the pupils in that district if wood- work were given to the Saugus Center pupils and not to the Cliftondale section. This is a very good arrangement because in the training which they now receive thru Mechanical Drawing they are taught the reading of a ruler, accuracy in measuring, and a fair understanding of working drawings, which is most es- sential, (but which has been missing) to a pupil to intelligently work on a project in wood, it helps him to understand more clearly any sketches which the teacher may make to illustrate methods of construction on any particular object the boy may be working on. With this drawing as a background a pupil may design his own projects out of school, and thereby save the valu- able shop time for constructive work. Respectfully submitted, PAUL BUND. Report of Drawing Teacher—High School Mr. Jesse W. Lambert, Supt. of Schools, Saugus, Mass. : I herewith submit my second report as teacher of Freehand and Mechanical Drawing in the Senior High and Freehand Drawing in the Junior High Schools of Saugus. The Art course offered in the Senior High school during the past year has included Freehand Drawing, a Study of Design and Color Theory, Costume Design, Crafts such as basketry, leather tooling, stenciling, block printing and decorative enamel work, Poster Design, Composition and Interior Decoration. These subjects have been arranged so as to make each student realize the aim of this course which is to cultivate aesthetic appreciation of form and color in both art and nature and to develop selective judgment of design as expressed in Art architecture, sculpture, painting, furniture, potteries, fabrics, costumes, —all of these things necessities or luxuries that make our lives more interesting. Previous to September, 1926, Mechanical Drawing was re- quired of both girls and boys in the seventh and eighth grades but with the opening of the Fall term all the pupils of the Junior High School at Saugus Center and also at Cliftondale were given in its place one forty minute period a week in Freehand Draw- 1 I926] REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE. 3 ing which includes a Study of Color and the Theory of Design, Representation, Perspective, Construction and Nature Drawing. I believe the new course to be more desirable than the old one which appealed chiefly to the boys. The new course however, interests both boys and girls and will give to every student an opportunity, through a study of order, to develop and express his sense of the beautiful which is a supreme example of Order. The beautiful is simply the best of its kind and to recognize and discover it is one of the chief interests of civilized life. The importance of this subject, Art, is rather well expressed by James Russell Lowell. "Till America has learned to love Art, not as an amusement, not as a mere ornament of her cities, not as a superstition of what is comme iljaut for a great nation, but for its humanizing and ennobling energy, for its power of making men better by arousing in them a perception of their own instincts for what is beautiful, and therefore sacred and religious and an eternal rebuke of the base and worldly, she will not have succeeded in that high sense which alone makes a nation out of a people, and raises it from a dead name to a living power." Mechanical Drawing requires careful execution and accuracy, good lettering, an understanding of the principles of construction and their practical application. It also stimulates clear and logical thinking in three dimensions of space through the study of:— Orthographic Projection Working Drawings Isometric Drawing Architectural Drawing Machine Drawing Recommendations. — i. That a room be equipped for the Freehand and Mechnical Drawing classes of the Junior and Senior High Schools. Respectfully submitted, MARGARET POPE MacINTYRE. Report of Supervisor of Drawing Mr. Jesse W. Lambert, Superintendent of Schools Saugus, Mass. : This is the fourth annual report which I have submitted as Supervisor of Drawing, for the first six grades in the town of Saugus. , 3- TOWN DOCUMENTS. [Dec. 31 During the past year we have made a definite effort to use Drawing and Painting as a means of individual expression. This expression coming from thechilds spontaneity of thought ; —mak- ing creation, and not imitation the main aim. Subject matter and general directions in lessons must be observed and followed, trending to make up a vocabulary of ideas which lead to the methods of self expression. Children, whenever listening to description have a keen sense of interpretative imagination. Drawing does not necessarily need to be employed at a time only when the object to be drawn is within view. If after a tale or description has been given, the children are asked to portray what has been imaged, then the teacher has a valuable means of seeing what has been produced in the minds of the children, in response to his words. By Drawing and Painting we mean : the producing of tones and giving them different positions, directions, measures, propor- tions, shapes and attitudes on a flat surface. Drawing is practised in two ways : in Design, and in Repre- sentation. The two aims of Design and of Representation are constantly associated. We have Representation in form of Design and Design in forms of Representation. Art appreciation is not a thing apart from Drawing. It is not a separate subject to be observed only at intervals. Appreciation and cultivation of this subject must go hand in hand with all lessons in the entire syllabus. "In every object there is inexhaustable meaning ; the eye sees in it what the eye brings means of seeing." The eyes need train- ing, —training in appreciation as do the muscles of an athlete need development that the maximum amount of skill may be ob- tained. —In this way the eyes of the individual child are trained that he may come to unconsciously develop an appreciation and taste for the Beautiful. The fundamental principles are each year followed in the same way in correlation with the other subjects. These principles have previously been discussed and analyzed. This past year the first six grades in the town of Saugus have not only exhibited their Drawing efforts in the individual schools, but also have had their work on exhibition at the Essex County Fair at Topsfield, at the Massachusetts School of Art in Boston, at Framingham State Normal School, and in the public schools at Plymouth. Various Parent-Teacher Associations have shown their interest in the work of the special teachers. We have been glad of this opportunity of directly explaining our efforts to the parents of our boys and girls. I926] REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE. 33 At this time I wish to express my gratitude to all of the grade teachers, —those who were on the staff last year, and to those who this past year joined the staff of grade teachers in this town. Their work has been most commendable. For the cooperation of each of the supervisors, for the interest of our school officials, and for the stimulus and assistance which you always offer, Mr. Lambert, I am most grateful. Respectfully submitted, ANSTRICE CARTER KELLOGG, Supervisor of Drawing. January 4, 1927. Report of the Supervisor of Penmanship Mr. Jesse W . Lambert , Supt. of Schools, Saugus, Mass.: I herewith submit my sixth annual report as Supervisor of Penmanship in the public schools of Saugus. The past year has been one of the most successful years in the progress of Arm Movement in our schools as shown by the number of awards won. They number as follows : 158 Primary Pins. 275 Palmer Method Pins. 194 Merit Buttons. 127 Progress Pins. 84 Improvement Certificates. 72 Final Certificates. The Primary Pins are given only in the first three grades ; the Palmer Method Pen in all grades from the fourth through the eighth ; the Merit and Progress Pins in all grades from the fifth through the eighth ; the Improvement Certificate in the sixth, seventh, and eighth grades; and the Final Certificate in the seventh and eighth grades. During the past year we have been honored by visits from representatives of two of our leading penmanship concerns. The first visit was made by the New England Representative of the A. N. Palmer Comp.my who complimented us highly on our work and honored us further by asking us to put on an exhibit for the convention of the National Educational Association, held in Washington, D. C : 34 town documents. [Dec. 31 The second visit was made by the New England Representa tive of the Zaner and Bloser Company of Columbus, Ohio, who inspired us with many new and helpful ideas. The year, as a whole, has been most encouraging to the super- visor because of the enthusiasm of the boys and girls, and the loyalty and cooperation shown by the teachers. Let me thank you, Mr. Lambert, and all who have so will- ingly helped in the progress of better handwriting. Respectfully submitted, MARGARET A. CAMERON, Supervisor of Penmanship. Report of Supervisor of Music Supt. J. W. Lambert Dear Sir, — I herewith submit my seventh report as Supervisor of Music in the town of Saugus. The school room music has progressed as in previous years. The teachers, accustomed to the system, and the new teachers have handled the work in a capable manner. Various choruses have given programs for association meetings. During National Music Week a combined sixth grade chorus gave an evening's entertainment. The Woman's Civic League of Cliftondale has donated money to the grade buildings for music purposes. In order to win this a Music Memory Contest is to take place in June. All fourth, fifth and sixth grades are eligible. The numbers to be used are standard selections, in connection with the regular school outline of music. The interest in outside music study has so increased that it was not necessary to urge pupils to join instrumental classes this year. This is an ideal situation, as children advance more rapidly under private instruction. The fife and drum classes organized in the spring did not con- tinue in the fall. This was due to lack of parental interest. The children interested in the work are studying with private teachers in Maiden and Lynn. The school orchestra has done splendid work during the year. They have furnished music for many organizations. The personnel is as follows: —First and second violins, flute, trumpet and piano. The following schools are represented, Armitage, Ballard, Emerson, Felton, Mansfield and Roby. 1926] REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE. 35 As always the success of my work lies in the interest and coop- eration of our school faculty and superintendent. In closing I wish to thank each one who has worked so faithfully with me. Respectfully submitted, LAURA E. CRAM. Report of Supervisor of Saugus Dental Clinic Mr, Jesse W. Lambert, Superintendent of Schools : Dear Sir, —Herewith I submit my annual report as Supervi- sor of the Dental Clinic. On Tuesday and Thursday mornings, assisted by Mrs. Donovan the school nurse, I treat the pupils of the various schools at the clinic room in the Cliftondale School. At the beginning of the school year, the school nurse examined the children's teeth in the first and second grades and arranged clinics. This enabled me to start the clinic about five weeks earlier than usual and by this arrangment I was able to treat a larger number of children. We have found it necessary this year to increase the fee from ten cents to twenty-five cents at each visit, the treatments includ- ing extractions, fillings and prophylactic treatments. The greater part of the work, as in previous years, has been among the pupils of the first and second grades who are in need of treatment and could not get it in any other way. When the work on the children of these two grades was completed, prophy- lactic treatments were given wherever necessary to the pupils of the other grades. A detailed report of the work done at the clinic from January 1926 to January, 1927, is submitted as follows : Total number of patients treated at the Saugus Dental Clinic 900. Total number of deciduous extractions . . 398 Prophylactic treatments 326 Fillings . '39 Treatments 2 5 Permanent extractions 6 Refused treatment 6 900 Respectfully submitted, Dr. ROGER P BECKMAN, : 1 36 TOWN DOCUMENTS. [Dec. 3 Report of School Nurse lo Mr. Jesse W.

In September the children were given a physical examination by the school 'physicians, at which I assisted in checking up the physical record cards with the physicians. These fphysical record cards, which are required by the state, mean a great deal more work, but are extremely helpful in showing the physical condition and improvement of the child from one year to the next. The slips have been given out and about 250 returned signed for the Schick test, which will be given during the month of January by Dr. Jones of the State Board of Health. All the children in the grade schools have been weighed and measured. Out of a total of 1878 children, 173 were found to be ten per cent underweight>nd 53 fifteen per centfunderweight. As in previous years, I have found it very helpful, in cases where a contagious disease has been reported and excluded, to conduct a daily inspection of all the children in that r particular class-room and exclude all suspicious cases from school. Dental clinic is still conducted on Tuesday and Thursday mornings at the Cliftondale school, at which I assist Dr. Beck- man. r The number of children treated at the Dental Clinic will be found in the Dental Clinic report. I would advise beginning;the work on scarlet fever prevention, called "The Dick Test and Inoculation." We have had such wonderful results from the Schick test, having practically elimin- ated diphtheria from the schools, that' I feel we shouldjstart pre- : . I926] REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE. 37 vention work on scarlet fever, as we have had a number of cases during the year. In closing I wish to extend my thanks to you, Mr. [Lambert, the School Committee, the School Physicians and the teachers, for the helpful cooperation I have received in my work. Respectfully submitted, MARY E. DONOVAN, R. N. Report of Supervisor of Physical Education Mr. J. W. Lambert, Superintendent of Schools, Saugus, Mass. I herewith submit my first report as Supervisor of Physical Education in the Elementary Schools of Saugus. The enthusiasm with which both teachers and pupils greeted me on the first day has continued and has greatly inspired me, so that I am able to put forth my best efforts and get the best in return 1 visit the Elementary Grades, every week, and the Districts, once every two weeks. The lessons are of twenty minutes dura- tion for the Elementary Grades and twenty-five to thirty minutes for the Districts. The work is outlined by the month and each teacher has an outline to follow. Pupil leadership was started at the beginning of the year and has been carried on under the super- vision of the teachers. One lesson, a month, I observe the work of the pupil leaders. The classes were held at the beginning of the year out of doors, but are now held in the class-rooms. As soon as weather condi- tions permit, we shall again work in the open air. The work in the first two grades is much different from that of the other grades. In these grades we act story plays. ' I try to arrange the work to correspond with that of the teacher. That is, in the fall before Thanksgiving when the children are learning of the Indians, I also give an Indian lesson. We always close our lessons with a game. In the third and fourth grades, they have the simplest of exercises. The work progresses to more difficult exercises through the fifth and sixth grades. Two weeks of my time, this fall, was spent in assisting Mrs. Donovan in weighing and measuring the children. A typical physical training lesson should be divided into four periods: Warming-up Peiiod; Educational Period; General Exercise Peiiod and ; Quieting Period. If formal gymnastic 1 3$ TOWN DOCUMENTS. [Dec. 3 are used as in the fifth and sixth grades, the Educational Period is given over to the Spinal, Shoulder, Chest, Balance, Alternate Side and Jumping exercises. In the General Period, the exer- cises should be those previously learned. It should be noticeable to an observer that the respiration of every child be deeper and fuller in this period. The purpose of the Quieting Period is to assist circulation to become normal. We have done very little with folk dancing but hope before the end of the year that every grade will have learned several dances. I give every grade several new games during the month. Games are very important in the life of a child. He learns fair play, respect for others, leadership, orderly conduct and courtesy. I believe that bodily exercise trains the mind and tends to develop certain virtues ; namely, proper pride, friendship, loyalty, honor, obedience, cleanliness, sociability, muscular strength, health and beauty, courage, punctuality, self-control, initiative, and good humor. Surely all of these virtues are of educational value. There is no doubt but that physical education in the public schools leads to life expansion, happiness, good character, and good Ameiican citizenship. I feel that the Physical Education program in the Elementary Grades is quite firmly established, due to the efforts and coopera- tion of the teachers, the kind advice and help of the other super- visors, and the interest which you have shown in the work, Mr. Lambert. • Respectfully submitted, ARLINE E. ALLBEE, Supervisor of Physical Education. Report of Physical Director Mr. J. W. Lambert, Supt. of Schools, Saugus, Mass.: Following is the first report of the present Superviser of Physical Training for the Senior and Junior High Schools. The aim of the Physical Training course is two-fold : —first, to maintain and increase health, to develop and increase organic strength ; second to develop and increase skill, also courage, determination, presence of mind, honesty, and other mental and moral qualities. The course embraces the following types of exercise : (a) Exercises that develop prompt response to commands I926] REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE. T>9 (obedience) (6) Exercises that develop initiative and skill (resourcefulness) (c) Exercises that develop cooperation (loyalty) (d) Exercises that develop determination (leadership) (e) Exercises that develop the musculature (improved posture). The first place is given to Exercises of Skill and Localized exercises that their aim the increased Strength ; i. e. to have as mobility of the chest, and the development of sound heart and lungs ; namely, to exercises designed primarily for health and organic strength. The second place is given to Exercises of Skill and Localized Strength ; z\ e. to exercises whose aim is to increase co-ordination and the strength of localized groups of muscles. The third place is given to Order exercises (tactics). Exercises of Strength are not considered in the course (wrest- ling, weight-lifting, etc.) At both the Senior and Junior High Schools, pupil leaders, whose duty it is to direct a class consisting of 35-50 pupils (both boys and girls) under immediate control of the home room teacher, have been appointed. The leaders have been previously in- structed by the supervisor concerning the nature of the exercises to be given. Owing to the fact that there is no gymnasium, all exercising is carried on within the home rooms. This condition, it is hoped, will be remedied in the near future. Due to the increased cooperation on the part of the teachers as well as to the greater proficiency of the leaders, the work in this department is steadily picking up. We intend giving to the Saugus schools a physical training department that compares favorably with these of other large schools. I would make the following recommendations : 1. That the boys and girls have separate classes for Physical Education. 2. That the appropration of money for the erection and maintenance of a gymnasium be given immediate consider- ation. 3. That Stackpole's Field be put into a condition suitable for the requirements of football and baseball. In closing I wish to thank the teachers who have lent their hearty support, the pupil leaders who are daily doing their bit, and Mr. Lambert for his interest and support. Respectfully submitted, A.
