REPORT OF THE BOARD OF
EDUCATION.
To the Citizens of Union School District:
The past year of our school life has been comparatively
uneventful. And yet, as always, there have been such
changes and innovations as accompany and mark a healthy
growth. i
The ungraded school for pupils who for one reason or
another are retarded in their school work has increased
both in attendance and in usefulness. The dental clinic,
conducted through the public-spirited generosity of the
dental profession, is doing a most useful work, and, to use
a trite but expressive phrase, is filling a long-felt want, —
a want the full extent of which was not appreciated until
the means for meeting it were supplied.
Within five or six years all the salaries of the teachers in
the district have been substantially increased. And yet
the recent marked increase in the general cost of living
has made it apparent that the salaries as at present fixed
are in many if not in all cases inadequate. It must be
certain that if thejr were right when established, they are
not right now. To raise the greater part of the salaries
fifty dollars a year, according to a schedule prepared by a
committee of the board, would involve an additional
annual expense of about five thousand dollars. To raise
them all on the basis proposed by the teachers' association
would cost about fourteen thousand dollars annually. The
question will be submitted to the voters at the annual
district meeting, that they may pass upon it intelligently
and themselves assume the responsibility for whatever
increase is made.
A thorough inspection of all our school buildings has dis-
closed the fact that a number of the older buildings fall far

short of the legal requirements in regard to lighting. The
law upon this point is explicit, and demands action on our
part. Appropriations will be requested sufficient to meet
the expense of the requisite reconstruction.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF
SCHOOLS.
To the Board of Education of Union School District:
In compliance with the rules of your honorable body, I
am offering my thirty-second annual report upon the con-
dition of the schools under your charge, it being the fifty-
first of its series.
National concern has been more particularly directed
toward questions of war, peace, and commerce than any-
thing else. However, educational endeavor has not been
relaxed nor means neglected to bring it forcibly to public
notice. The junior high school has come to stay and is
fast growing in public favor. Vocational education is
slowly assuming its proper significance and will eventually
prove its right to recognition as a strong element in our
educational scheme. Military drill, or physical drill which
accomplishes practically the same thing, has its many
strong advocates. I hope some measures will be taken to
give it a place in our schools if for no other reason than for
its good effect physically upon the student body.
Never as before the national government is looking after
the naturalization and education of its foreign-born popu-
lation, seeking to cooperate with local boards of education
in the matter of making the night schools of longer duration,
more attractive and more efficient. I also call your atten-
tion to the movement inaugurated by the General Educa-
tion Board in connection with the Teachers' College of
Columbia University. This movement contemplates a
scheme of education radically different from that now gen-
erally in use. It is based almost wholly upon ideas pro-
mulgated in the last few years which break away from the
traditional formal discipline and the so-called cultural
studies and deals largely with science and modern languages
68 CITY OF CONCORD.
as basal elements. The working out of this scheme will be
awaited with great concern by all interested in modern
progressive ideas.
The State Department still continues its effective efforts
to raise the standing of public education in New Hampshire.
Secondary school standards particularly are being most
carefully looked after and it is time they should be. All
movements in any sphere of work aimed at improvement
which interferes with traditional methods provoke much
acrimonious discussion but such severities almost always
come from sources where reform is sadly needed.
The schools of Union School District, generally speaking,
are on a higher plane than ever before. They are not per-
fect, never ought to be, and never will be, but they can be
kept at a high standard of excellence if we all bend our
energies toward making their condition better each suc-
cessive year.
Attendance.
The number of pupils in the schools has decreased during
the past two years. This is most noticeable in the lowest
grades and is largely due to the removal from the city of
many who were formerly employed in the railroad shops.
From appearances this exodus has about reached its height
so that normal gains may be looked for in the succeeding
years. One room was discontinued in the Walker School,
made possible by closer grading. One room was also given
up in the Harriet P. Dame School owing to a decrease in the
attendance in the higher grades; however, the increasing
enrollment in the lower grades will soon call for its use
again.
I think the large attendance in all the high schools is not
taken seriously enough by anybody except those immedi-
ately concerned. The senior high school with an enrollment
of 491 is badly embarrassed for lack of room. The Parker
School has 230 pupils, the building being originally in-
tended for 180. The Chandler School with 133 pupils is
liandicapped badly with but four rooms for use and no
SCHOOL REPORT. 69
assembly hall. Whether a decreased enrollment in the
lower grades will eventually cause a corresponding decrease
in the number of high school pupils is a matter of conjecture.
The efforts of the attendance officer and the school nurse
have been invaluable in maintaining a good average mem-
bership. I ask your careful reading of their reports. An
unusual number of labor certificates have been issued from
the office of the superintendent many of which were taken
out by pupils who wish to work Saturdays and after school
hours but still remain enrolled as pupils.
The Work of the Schools.
The special reports cover so much of the detailed work
that this report must deal with results viewed from the
broader standpoint. The work of any grade can be judged
only by a well-defined knowledge of what is good as well as
what is bad and in daily visits I try to leave written records
of my views respecting both. The high schools of this
district are now known as junior high and senior high.
This division has been maintained for the past six years
with success as is shown by growing efficiency both in
scholarship and in discipline. For the most effective work-
ing condition these schools must be mutually dependent.
This requires that the work be so arranged as to cause a
minimum of friction when transition from one school to
another is made; that there be a frequent interchange of
ideas among the instructors; that there be as much simi-
larity in methods of work as the different conditions and the
varying ages of the pupils will admit and that the text-
books used should be sequent in topical content and free
from useless repetition. Many of these things we have
accomplished to a reasonable extent. Others for obvious
reasons have not been advanced as far as they should be.
The conduct of affairs in the senior high school has been
creditable to a good degree. This may be seen in the re-
newed energy of the teaching corps, in a discipline some-
what better maintained and also in positive results from the
studies. A weakness in the English course has been partly
70 CITY OF CONCORD.
obviated by additional effort in the teaching corps but the
best results can come only when a logically sequent course
has been adopted to supplant the poorly arranged line of
work of former years. Such a scheme is now in force in the
junior high schools. The best interests of the study de-
mand that the same or similar ideas progressing in logical
order be carried on for the two next succeeding years. When
this has been accomplished, steady progress will begin to
show itself. The course in mathematics is exceptionally
strong, having a continuous succession of method through-
out the first three years and a comprehensive review during
the last year of the course. The excellent results are due to
the strong foundation work done in the elementary and the
junior high schools and to the admirable finish in the senior
high. The corps of mathematics teachers throughout the
junior and the senior high schools is one of unusual merit.
Too much care cannot be used in choosing instructors
whom we can retain by reason of their conspicuous ability.
A continuance of incompetency in the teaching corps makes
first-class work impossible.
The junior high schools, stepping-stones to success in the
senior high school, have been ably maintained. The line
of work and the methods of carrying it out which have pre-
vailed here for the past few years prove to be exceptional^
strong. A class in Latin taught by the direct method under
Miss Donovan in the Chandler School was novel and force-
ful but not well-suited to the method which necessarily
followed. It is doubtful if any other teacher in the city
could have done this as well as Miss Donovan. It was dis-
continued because none of the succeeding teachers had been
instructed in this particular method.
The course in French, beginning in Class 0, is now super-
vised by Miss Averill of the senior high school. The
classes in the Parker School taught by Miss Nettleton follow
a conversational course to an extent. This work has been
the subject of much favorable comment by noted educa-
tors. The classes are large and very much interested.
Miller's English Composition was introduced into
SCHOOL REPORT. 71
Classes M, N, O, and P and seems to be doing excellent
work. This series should be continued without interruption
through the two lower classes of the senior high school, to
make the logical sequence of the work complete. Results
in all other branches have been satisfactory in the main.
The elementary schools have reached a stable working
basis and the plan pursued is successful. Whatever excep-
tion may be taken to this almost invariably is traceable to
failures of pupils whose home life is marked by a lack of
proper parental control. Penmanship is improving, the
primary requirements having been changed. Gain is mani-
fested in every succeeding grade. The language books
now in use are thought to be not well-suited for our present
needs and they should be replaced by a more modern series.
I call your attention to improvement in spelling, in geog-
raphy and to the general excellence of the reading. The
importance of strong work in these grades is too often lost
sight of by parents and even by teachers of the higher grades
where the accomplishments in school work are more fre-
quently made manifest to the public. We are particularly
fortunate in having a teaching force recruited always from
trained teachers and also assisted by the senior students of
the training school.
The attendance in the kindergartens has fallen off mate-
rially this year on account of the infantile paralysis scare of
last fall the effects of which are still with us, and also to
vicious outside influences calculated to impair the efficiency
of this work. The general growth of the kindergarten
movement is shown by the fact that 570 new ones were
started in the United States last year. In this city ten
per cent, more kindergarten children are promoted in the
first primary grade than those who have never attended
kindergartens. This failure to be promoted represents an
economic waste which might be obviated if all children up to
six years of age were required to attend these schools.
The special subjects of manual training, cooking, sewing,
music, drawing and military drill have experienced a year
of prosperity in nearly every instance. The special features
72 CITY OF CONCORD.
in manual training and sewing are the unusual number of
projects which have been consummated.
Cooking has been done on lines similar to those of pre-
vious years with the exception of analytic cooking in the
senior domestic arts class. This has been carried beyond
the requirements approved by the State Department,
which has always condemned the subservience of such
work to luncheons. This will be better adjusted in the
interests of the pupils of this course which is one of the
best in the schools.
The Dewey training school still continues to perform its
functions in a highly creditable manner. Next June the
largest class in its history will be graduated and the state
will be greatly benefited by the addition of some fine
teachers to its educational force. Thirteen teachers from
the senior class have rendered valuable assistance in nearly
all of the buildings having elementary grades.
Special School for Backward Children.
This school was started as an experiment, March 27,
1916, in one of the unused rooms of the Walker School.
Miss Ada B. Martin, one of the regular teaching corps, was
placed in charge of it. Miss Martin is very much interested
in this kind of work, having received special training for it
to some extent.
At the beginning the school was small because attendance
was limited to pupils in the Walker building, but after one
term's experience, things began to shape themselves so that,
with transportation furnished free, pupils from different
parts of the city were enabled to attend. The enrollment
increased to such an extent that it was thought best to have
an assistant and to conduct the school on the one-session
plan. At present the school is in a fairly nourishing con-
dition having a maximum enrollment of 22 pupils. There
can be but little question about the good that this school
is doing and we hope its sphere of usefulness may be en-
larged in the future.
At the noon hour a lunch is prepared and served, to those
SCHOOL REPORT. 73
who wish it, consisting of hot cocoa and hot soup. In
addition the children as a usual thing bring a good lunch
which consists of the following, varied according to the
individual homes: sandwiches, cold meat, cake, pie, cookies
and fruit. Many bring glass jars of cooked fruit, preserves,
boiled rice, etc. Some bring only a small lunch as they
have a hot dinner when they reach home. Sometimes
pupils bring potatoes and apples which are converted into
mashed potato and apple sauce, respectively, at the School.
Hand-work of good quality is being done daily in addition
to regular studies, the character of which may be learned
from the following enumeration:
The girls have embroidered, crocheted, and have done
wood- work.
The boys have made wooden toys and small baskets.
Besides these may be found the following: Embroidered
collars, doilies, aprons, mats,, stenciled table covers, sofa
pillows, small raffia baskets, pen-wipers, needlebooks,
picture-frames, crocheted woolen scarfs, toques, holders,
face-cloth, reins, lace, all kinds of wooden toys, match-
scratchers, calendars, etc.
One girl has made four beautiful shawls. Four chairs
have been caned. One boy has done some good charcoal
landscapes. A display of this feature of our public school
work will be made at the end of the spring term.
Hygienic Drill.
Various happenings in the past few years have served
notice on our civilization that not enough attention is being
paid to the physical development of school children. They
are said to have neither the erect carriage, the capacity for
breathing, nor opportunities for taking regular systematic
exercise which means so much to their general health.
The requirements of modern education ask so much of
the regular grade teacher that she does not have the ner-
vous strength to prepare herself for this work and much
less to carry it out as it should be.
Physical degeneration among pupils manifests itself
74 CITY OF CONCORD.
not only in physical decline but in moral debasement as
well. Either one is of suficient gravity to ask of us our
best efforts to adopt some means for counteracting it. The
most effective way would be to employ somebody, who has
had special preparation for this work, to develop and apply
systematic drill from the lowest to the highest grade. The
disposition of the citizens a few years ago to furnish an
athletic field for the schools ought to be interpreted as a
disposition to furnish children better facilities for improving
their health.
Recent tests made at the Parker School prove beyond a
doubt that standard physical development is rare among
school children and I am influenced by such conditions to
ask the Board of Education to consider this matter..
Free Dental Clinic.
In the past year a proposition was made by the dentists
of the city to equip a room for giving free dental work to
public school children if the Board of Education would set
apart such a room for the purpose. This request was
granted and the teachers' room on the first floor of the
Walker school building was devoted to the work. Costly
apparatus of the most approved pattern was installed and
the first clinic held on Saturday, November 18, 1916, at
two o'clock in the afternoon. Doctor Young and Doctor
Albee were the officiating dentists and fifteen children re-
ceived full or partial treatment. A regular helper was fur-
nished for this work by the Board of Education. The
treatment is given only to the children whose parents are
unable to furnish them such privilege but not to any child
over fifteen years of age. These clinics are held on Satur-
day afternoons and a fee of five cents is charged each in-
dividual to help defray the cost of supplies. The treatment
consists of examination, extraction (with parents' approval),
cleaning, plastic filling, and root canal treatment of the
six anterior teeth when necessary. The benefit derived
from this feature of our educational system may not be
estimated easily but it certainly adds much to the hygienic
SCHOOL REPORT. iO
efficiency with which our schools are conducted. Too much
credit cannot be given to the dentists for their enterprise
and generosity in providing such help, to the Charity Or-
ganization, to the Concord Electric Co., the Concord Light
& Power Co., M. E. Clifford & Co., Lee Brothers Co., and
to Miss Murphy, the school nurse, who has put in much
extra time to make it such a pronounced success.
The following work had been done up to Saturday, February
26: Examinations, 77; cleaning, 63; extractions, 134; fillings
(cement 43, silver 40, gutta-percha 2, copper-cement 2), 87.
The dentists who are giving their services are Drs. E. H.
Albee, W. A. Young, F. H. Rowe, J. H. Worthen, C. R.
Morton, E. W. Rowe, C. J. Washburn, L. I. Moulton,
G. E. Rowell, H. H. Ring, H. C, Plaisted, L. C. Plaisted,
E. S. Cummings, E. A. Rowe, F. C, Rowe, O. F. Mackey.
Night School.
The night school of this year began Nov. 13, 1916,
and closed March 1, 1917. This made one of the longest
terms we have ever had for the school. The sessions were
held in the High School and although the enrollment in the
room devoted to the instruction of the foreign-born popu-
lation was only half as large as usual yet the people kept
up a fairly good attendance to the end and made commend-
able progress.
The innovation of maintaining classes in cooking and in
mechanical drawing met with much favor and the attend-
ance was well sustained. The mechanical drawing was
conducted by Mr. Taylor of the Morrill School two nights
a week and cooking by Miss Davis one night a week. The
results from these two schools were good, much beyond the
ordinary. If the expense can be justified, such work ought
to be expanded and perfected in the future. I believe the
school for the foreign element should be located nearer Main
Street so that a much larger attendance could be secured.
Accredited Music in the Schools.
After having gone through the entire list of cultural
studies and established the claims of the other perhaps less
76 CITY OF CONCORD.
deserving subjects, why, may I ask, is the study of music
not given its proper place in the curriculum as an accredited
subject? In this country last year $600,000,000 were ex-
pended along musical lines. What a tremendous influence
upon the life of the people. In many cities the study of
music is given proper credit for graduation from high schools.
Classes in instrumental instruction are maintained on large
scales. Surely music has as good claims for recognition as
those other studies I have frequently mentioned. It has
a distinct history rich in lore, culture, and interest and its
faithful study combines all elements that go to make up an
ideal mental discipline — application, perception, judgment,
criticism, esthetic culture, rhythm, mathematics, har-
mony, truth and it appeals to the emotions as nothing else
can. Why then should a live boy or girl in our secondary
schools be compelled to make the futile attempt to master
geometry, Latin, algebra or Greek and labor day after day
in a vain struggle to satisfy tradition when the same amount
of energy spent upon lines for which he is naturally fitted
would give to the world much of which it would be proud.
The frequency with which we find artists of transcendent
ability, who have not been able to master elementary public
school education, having a world reputation in their respect-
ive professions, leads us to believe that the public school has
not yet opened up all avenues to cultural education. Such
people may not be called educated in terms of the school
yet no one can fail to recognize their masterly contribu-
tions to the world nor deny the cultural effects of their art.
The Modern School.
Much unnecessary and, to a great extent, useless debate
has been going on in the past few years about the relative
value of the old and the new ideas of education. If the
energy used in these oftimes heated discussions had been
applied to problems of improving the common life of our
people, to psychological truths and their application to
prevailing home conditions, the world would be much
better off. Tradition still clings to the hazy, the remote,
SCHOOL REPORT. 77
the atmosphere of bygone ages as the one avenue to the
greatest culture. The obscurity of time always lends a
certain charm, even though modern works are advanced in
many ways over the products of ancient times.
There are those who seem to think we are living in a past
age and that nothing new can have any comparable cultural
value. Others look too far into the future and fail to weigh
carefully enough the fundamental principles which past
experience has established. To know fully the failure of
the classical courses as applied formerly in public school
work one has only to recall the large number of scholars
who used to leave school at the end of the elementary course
or between that time and graduation from the high school
and, comparing it with the improved conditions now,
conclude that such courses failed miserably to educate the
masses. Many of the old ideas will remain, ought to remain
and must remain to satisfy the needs of that considerable
part of our people who can adopt them with profit ; but the
time has gone when they can dominate the general scheme
of public education. The new order of things compels the
progressive educator to evolve schemes which shall reduce
illiteracy and bring the average life to a higher plane of
existence; who shall express concern for the welfare and uplift
of the vast majority whom God has decreed shall furnish
the moving power of our democratic form of government,
and whose daily life and patriotic spirit shall, through its
high character, determine our national unity. Culture is
not the slave of class or subjects but finds its way through
individual interest. The boy who has mastered Greek,
Latin, history, or the making of an engine has become cul-
tured in proportion to the amount of interest and enthusiasm
it has aroused in him and we may even discover more cul-
ture in the student of mechanic arts who has applied him-
self faithfully to his work than in the classical student who
has been content to live in the disinterested and unoccupied
part of his class. Culture bows to the enthusiasm which
begets patient careful study in any line of work and if
one's occupation in no wise arouses any such response, it
78 CITY OF CONCORD.
cannot, in that case, be called cultural. Since our high
schools have been devoted to the needs of the public at
large, a great change has been brought about. Just as
many are pursuing the higher education, perhaps more
than ever before, and outside of these more are becoming
cultured, hundreds remaining in school who otherwise
would long ago have joined the vast army of unskilled
workers, never having received that additional school ex-
perience which they are now enjoying. One hundred girls
in the domestic arts course are one hundred testimonials
to the foresight of modern educators, and to the efficiency of
modern ideas. The same can be said of boys in the mechanic
arts courses and of pupils in the business course.
Apart from all controversies the true test of our school
system is the power it gives the youth to assume and meet
successfully great responsibilities. Everything now points
to vital changes all over the world. The children of this
generation must face great crises and they must be prepared
to solve problems of war, peace, and economics, with which
this generation has never been confronted. Education must
perform its part by sinking all wranglings, differences, and
petty disputes in one great common effort to give our
children the proper mental, physical, and moral fibre to
meet all contingencies with a fearless spirit and to be pre-
pared, in its broadest sense, to defend their lives, their in-
heritance, and national honor. Never before has such an
opportunity come to us to teach mankind how to live the
proper life. It must be done not by bowing submissively
to tradition but by extending wholesome educational privi-
leges to all the people through varied lines of activity.
I appreciate the assistance I have received from all who
are associated with me in the building up of the school sys-
tem in this district and extend to them my cordial thanks.
Respectfully submitted,
L. J. RUNDLETT,
Superintendent.
REPORT OF THE MASTER OF THE
HIGH SCHOOL.
Supt. L. J . Rundlett, Concord, N. H.
Dear Sir: I hereby submit the annual report of the
Senior High School.
Attendance.
The total registration during the first semester was 479.
Of this number but eight were postgraduates. The present
enrollment is 491 of whom ten are postgraduates.
Graduation.
The class graduating in June, 1916 numbered seventy-
two. The class which graduated in January, 1916 was
twenty-seven in number. This makes a total of ninety-
nine for the entire year which is in excess of any previous
record. The class of January, 1917 was fifty-one in size.
Library.
The most important change in the School has been the
appointment of a Librarian, made at the beginning of the
second semester last year. Our books are now catalogued
and arranged according to the most approved system. The
library, though small, is good in quality and its resources
are now fully at the command of the school. In addition
to her regular work the Librarian has given to each division
in English a series of talks on the use of books, card cata-
logues and methods in reference work. These have been
followed with definite work assigned to each pupil which
has required putting into actual practice the information
which has been given. Reference work assigned to pupils
by other teachers in the school has been done under the
direction of the Librarian. A reference catalogue has been
started which promises to be of aid to future classes. There
80 CITY OF CONCORD.
have been added to the library 142 books from St. Paul's
School and eleven sets of current magazines given by differ-
ent people. These have all been obtained by the Librarian.
I feel that this department of the school has been of more
definite aid during the past year than it ever has been before
and that its value will increase as it is maintained in the
future.
Cooking.
At the beginning of the first semester it was found
possible to place the Domestic Arts seniors in cooking in
the periods immediately preceding the noon recess. The
plan was then adopted of having the articles cooked sold
to the teachers for lunch. This has been of decided advan-
tage. It has given the teachers who have to remain in the
building a good lunch. It has allowed the cooking of the
class to be of a quantity and a variety which has given more
practical experience than would otherwise have been possi-
ble.
It has proved an incentive to the class since their work
was daily tested as all cooking is tested. The income from
the lunches up to and including February 21, 1917, has
been $179.41 and the expenditures for material for the same
period have been $175.95. This means that the work of
this class has been carried on without expense to the school
so far as materials used are concerned, an item of no small
importance in these times of high prices.
Work of the School.
In general the work of the school compares well with the
work of previous years. In some respects, however, the
conditions are not as favorable for good work as they should
be. We have been obliged in carrying out the program to
make larger divisions than should be done for the best
work. During the first semester we had fifteen divisions
which had thirty or more students. Four of these were
forty or more and fourteen divisions had from twenty-four
to thirty-nine. During the present semester we have
SCHOOL REPORT. 81
thirteen which are thirty or more in number, and seventeen
which range between twenty-five and twenty-nine. Two
divisions are over forty in size. There would be more in
this list but for the fact that two teachers are teaching six
periods daily. It is impossible in divisions as large as these
to give to individual pupils the attention they should have,
and for a teacher to do either herself or her class justice.
Neither can a teacher give the full time of six periods to
class work and maintain that vigor and freshness which the
work needs. The reason for this condition is found in the
gradually increasing number of students and possibly to
a slightly increased number of recitations due to half-year
classes. The remedy is additional teachers. This would
mean that we must use the Assembly Hall probably for
some recitations, as our rooms are in full use now. This
can be done by using tablet arm-chairs and movable black-
boards, and would be preferable to the present large divi-
sions.
In one other respect there is need of further aid. I refer
to the clerk in the Principal's office. This position was
expected to be one in which some assistance would be given
in typewriting as well as to do clerical work. During the
present year practically the entire time has been demanded
in teaching. For office work I have had to depend on inter-
mittent help from postgraduates and seniors. Some records
and reports I have been able to turn over to the Librarian,
but a great deal has had to be done by myself or left undone.
The result is that I have been unable to write to parents,
follow up students' work, and keep the general records of
books, cards, etc. as thoroughly as this should be done.
There is need of a clerk who can be constantly on duty and
to whom can be turned over the details of this work. This
would relieve me and give me greater freedom for adminis-
trative and supervisory work which, I think, is the most
important part of my duties.
Respectfully submitted,
C. F. Cook,
6 Headmaster.
REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING.
Louis J. Rundlett, Superintendent of Union School District,
Concord, N. H.
At the time of the closing of school in June two exhibi-
tions of drawing were held, one of freehand drawing at the
Parker School and at the High School examples of the work
of the classes in the Domestic Arts Course were shown as a
part of the demonstration of the course marking the gradua-
tion of its first class. Since the course was started it has
been found advisable to omit the History of Art which
required so much time to be given, even in condensed form,
that the Art Course did not receive sufficient attention.
This has made necessary the revision of the course which
includes theory of color, design, lettering, dress-design,
interior decoration, and freehand and mechanical drawing.
The teaching of Classes 0 and P at the Parker School has
been somewhat difficult as it has been necessary to give
them three periods of drawing in succession in one corner
of the Assembly Hall with other classes frequently entering
and leaving the hall. At the beginning of the present
semester it was found possible to make an arrangement by
which Room 4 can be used for these classes two periods on
three days and each class has one period, only, at a time.
Some kind of furniture suitable for the work is needed for
this room if this arrangement is to be permanent. The
lack of room at both High and Parker schools makes a
difficult program for the supervisor who teaches one hour
per week more than the actual time which schools keep.
The present program seems, however, the most satisfactory
one for the pupils that has been arranged.
The exhibition of Drawing at the Parker School was con-
sidered one of the best ever shown there. The drawings of
Classes A to H have been excellent for several years but
SCHOOL REPORT. 83
this year the fifth-year drawings showed marked improve-
ment. The lettering done by all the classes was excellent.
Miss Jones takes charge of the drawing of Classes A to L
with a conscientious care that brings this department fine
results. A few drawings by High School pupils who take
Drawing as an elective study were also shown in this exhibi-
tion. Most of their work is done in classes outside of regular
school time and there are several who show skill as well as
interest.
At the beginning of the year the pupils of the training-
classes made frames in their manual training work which
they covered with slated blackboard cloth. This provides
sufficient space for frequent blackboard drills for the pur-
pose of helping them to draw with confidence before a class.
Respectfully submitted,
FAITH C. STALKER,
Supervisor of Drawing.
REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF SEWING.
Mr. L. J. Rundlett, Superintendent of the Schools of Union
School District, Concord, N. H.
Dear Sir: The following is a report of the work accom-
plished in the sewing department of the Union School
District for the year ending March, 1917.
The suggestion in my last sewing report for more
"charity" sewing and project work has been accomplished.
Class M is working almost wholly on clothes for poor
children, such as dresses, underwear and boy's waists.
I think the girls enjoy this work better, and it certainly
encourages a helpful spirit and gives an opportunity for
more practical sewing.
I see no reason why this work cannot increase and become
a prominent feature in the sewing work. To show the
range of our work we will mention a few of the projects
undertaken as:
Victrola cover for Walker School.
4 dozen towels for High School.
4 dozen aprons for dental room.
5 type case covers for Morrill School.
1 dozen napkins for cooking room.
' 5 Flag covers.
Our charity work includes:
6 children's dresses.
35 petticoats.
1 pillow slip.
3 corset covers.
3 pairs drawers.
4 boy's waists.
SCHOOL REPORT. 85
Work completed by the girls for themselves from June,
1915, to June, 1916, includes:
14 dresses.
22 skirts.
22 waists.
21 middy blouses.
. 6 kimonos.
5 cooking aprons.
64 pieces underwear.
48 pillow slips.
6 napkins.
3 towels.
75 sewing aprons.
44 hats trimmed.
and 214 unfinished articles. The number of pieces of un-
finished work is due to the change of classes as a girl often
begins a new piece of work a lesson or so before she changes
her grade. We have encouraged this work as it makes the
connection between school and home work closer.
Respectfully submitted,
LOUISE C. HOWE.
REPORT OF COOKING TEACHER.
Mr. L. J. Rundlett, Superintendent of Schools:
Dear Sir: The girls seemed to be very enthusiastic
about the cooking. This fall they had an excellent oppor-
tunity for work on a larger scale in canning and preserving
through the kindness of several members of the school
board and others interested. Tomatoes were used in various
ways, piccalilli, sweet tomato pickle, and canned; blue-
berries, peaches, pears, damson plums, crabapples were
canned; grape, crabapple, and plum jelly, carrot marma-
lade, grape fruit and orange marmalade, grape conserve,
cranberry conserve, sweet pickled pears and ginger pears
were made. Most of these were sold, partially defraying
the expense. We hope that next fall others may be inter-
ested to allow the girls to do their canning and preserving
for them.
The senior class has had a splendid opportunity for
making out menus, which they put into actual use for the
teachers' luncheons. They do part of the purchasing, make
out the actual costs of the recipes, do the serving and plan-
ning of the meals, which are served cafeteria style, enough
being charged to cover the cost of all the materials. This
gives a chance for the cooperation of the teachers and
pupils, thus benefiting both parties. The fireless cooker,
which has just been added to the equipment, has been
proved most successful thus allowing cheaper cuts of meat
to be cooked, which otherwise could not be used owing to
lack of class time. Economy of fuel is also illustrated. On
November first the senior class had a practical lesson in
preparing and serving a dinner to the members of the school
board.
The upper classes visited the meat market where sides of
beef and lamb were cut up and a further study was made of
SCHOOL REPORT. 87
the uses and prices of the different cuts. A very instructive
tour of inspection was made of Durgin's Manufactory.
Through the kindness of a teacher, various classes have
had the opportunity of preparing light refreshments to
serve with afternoon tea.
A new feature of the work was the starting of the evening
class which has been most interesting. The principles,
methods, and making of menus and special diets were dis-
cussed and the actual preparation of menus was carried out.
The aim of the department is to make the girls familiar
with the principles and methods of cookery so they can
successfully prepare meals which will be appetizing, pleas-
ing, satisfying, and as inexpensive as possible, for any
family.
Respectfully submitted,
HARRIET B. DAVIS.
REPORT OF SCHOOL NURSE.
Mr. L. J. Rundlett, Superintendent.
Dear Sir: I submit for your approval my annual re-
port. A report of this kind seems unsatisfactory as it is
impossible to give in detail the various kinds of work one is
called upon to do, nor is it possible to show results as they
really are, so many phases of child welfare are covered.
The problems of the physical condition of school children
in a city like Concord are the same as those in larger cities,
but a nurse working alone must rely upon her own judg-
ment much more than if she had the advice of a medical
examiner. For this reason the greatest possible coopera-
tion with the physicians is necessary in order that the work
may be of value.
The parents of children having physical defects are sent
written notices requesting them to consult their family
physician for advice and treatment. This method alone,
however, would never bring the desired result, unless the
cases are followed up and the parents visited when the con-
dition and its results are made clear to them. Many visits
are often required before cooperation is secured and in
many instances there has to be a " seeping in" process which
takes time. It is most pleasing to note, however, that a
very large per cent, of the cases reported to the parents
receive attention. In cases where the financial condition
of the family require it, treatment can always be arranged.
In no line of work is cooperation with existing agencies
more necessary than in a work which deals with the physical
welfare of children. We are most fortunate in our relation
with the Charity Organization Society, the District Nursing
Association, and the Board of Health, each organization
being ready to do its part toward making our work effective.
The dental clinic is proving its great value to the children
SCHOOL REPORT. 89
and much credit is due the Charity Organization Society
for the very valuable work they did in helping secure it.
We are greatly indebted to the dentists for their valued
assistance and hearty cooperation.
Our great need at present is an open-air room or school
for delicate or pre-tubercular children — we have many
children who need this kind of care and its results would
soon be apparent.
If it were not for the occasional gift of money from persons
interested in this work, many things which have been done
for children could not have been accomplished; especially
when braces or other appliances are necessary or the child
requires treatment which necessitates going out of town.
The statistical report which follows may not seem large
in numbers, but figures in connection with this work mean
little.
I wish to express my indebtedness to the many societies,
clubs and individuals who have given such valuable assist-
ance, to the hospitals and physicians for their constant
helpfulness and to the teachers for their faithful coopera-
tion.

REPORT OF MILITARY DRILL INSTRUC-
TOR.
Concord, March 1, 1917.
Mr. L. J. Rundlett.
Sir: Military drill during the year 1916-17 has been
continued under the plan adopted by the school board in
1915. The subject has not had the enthusiastic support
from the students as in former years, probably owing to the
fact that the receipt of the new rifles was so much delayed.
One of the results of this delay has been that the number of
cadets has fallen from sixty-eight in September of 1915 to
fourteen in the fall of 1916. Since the receipt of the sixty-
eight Kragg-Jorgensen carbines and six thousand eight
hundred rounds of ammunition from the government, the
interest has quickened. We now have forty-six boys taking
the subject with a prospect of more before the end of the
school year.
The lengthened drill period enables us to extend our
course to hikes, patrolling and rifle practice. The boys are
taking a very pleasing interest, thereby enabling us to ac-
complish much more than in former years.
The receipt of government property will require a trifling
expense in the way of alterations of the arm racks; also a
cleaning rack should be erected in the basement of the
school.
In closing I wish to express my gratitude to Mr. Cook for
his earnest cooperation. The school district and especially
the cadets should be grateful to Gen. C. W. Howard, the
Adjutant-General, for his courtesy in allowing us the use of
the state armory and the state rifle range. His personal
interview with the Chief of Ordnance, U. S. A., was a
potent factor in the final receipt of the very much needed
government rifles.
GEORGE W. MORRILL,
Instructor, Military Drill.
REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC.
Mr. L. J. Rundlett, Superintendent of Schools.
Dear Sir: No material change has been made in either
text-books or methods of teaching during the past year.
The children have entered the third year well prepared to
take up book work and the individual instruction which
has been given in all grades from E to L inclusive has
resulted in reasonably good sight singing and in an interest
that manifests itself in exceptionally good chorus work in
the higher grades.
This is especially noticeable in grades K and L in the
Rumford and Eastman schools. The Chandler School
began the present semester with an unusually well balanced
chorus. The Parker School has maintained its reputation
for good chorus work and in the High School three hundred
and eighteen pupils have included chorus singing in the
work of the course. The High School glee clubs are larger
than usual. As both chorus and glee club work there is
wholly elective, this indicates a lively interest in the subject.
The High School Orchestra is not as good as it was last
year. Several valuable members have left school and their
places have not been filled. The contra bass and tympani
which were purchased two years ago have been in constant
use and have added very much to the value of the orchestral
work as a whole. In fact were it not for these instruments
the orchestra would consist almost entirely of violins. We
have no brass or woodwind and I feel that we should have
more of those instruments, which are not suitable for solo
use at home, owned by the school and loaned to such pupils
as will learn to play them.
The music classes in the fifth course have accomplished
the work assigned them in a creditable manner. A rear-
rangement of the course of study for Classes U and V will
SCHOOL REPORT. 93
enable the present Class V to do more work, in the history
of music in America, than former classes have done.
The work with the young ladies in the training class for
teachers has been placed upon a more systematic basis. A
record of standing in weekly recitation is kept, a written
test given every eight weeks and the average standing sent
to the principal of the Dewey School.
A rearrangement of program at the beginning of the
present semester allows the teacher of singing to visit the
Chandler and grades K and L in the Rumford, Kimball
and Walker schools weekly. All other schools, excepting
the Parker and High, are visited once in two weeks.
The annual High School concert was given in April at a
financial profit of one dollar and fifty-nine cents.
The teacher of singing takes pleasure in expressing his
appreciation of the valuable aid and cheerful cooperation
which have been given him by the teachers and also extends
to the Superintendent and members of the Board of Educa-
tion his hearty thanks for the encouragement and support
which they have extended to him.
Very respectfully yours,
C. S. CONANT,
Teacher of Singing.
REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF MANUAL
TRAINING.
Mr. L. J. Rundlett, Superintendent of Schools:
Dear Sir: I hereby submit to you my eighth annual
report of the work of the Morrill School.
The activities of this school have so greatly increased in
the last few years that they can no longer be classified as
"wood and iron" as they have been in the past. Neither
can a clear conception of the full scope of the work be gained
from a report that must be "brief." Therefore I shall be
able to touch simply the high spots hoping that those who
are not thus satisfied will visit the school and look into the
details to their complete satisfaction.
Manual Training in the Sixth and Seventh Grades.
Woodworking in the elementary schools has been taught
entirely by the project method and no blueprints whatever
have been used. It has been quite evident that this method
of teaching manual training has its faults and weak points
if not handled carefully but by a systematic arrangement of
projects most of these have been overcome.
Mechanic Arts in High School.
The work of all departments in high school has been
about the same as last year. As this work has consisted
entirely of practical projects little change could be made
except to improve the quality and increase the quantity.
Both of these have been accomplished to a certain extent
by applying the principles of shop efficiency.
The ever increasing attendance has brought us some
rather serious problems and has made it necessary to change
the course of study to meet these conditions.
Machine shop practice is now confined to the last three
SCHOOL REPORT. 95
semesters instead of the last two years as formerly. This
change was made because of the limited size of the shop and
because of the disadvantages arising from placing four
classes in a three-period day. To fill up the gap thus formed
the work in the Q, R, and S classes was moved up one
semester. This brings the patternmaking course in the R
and S classes instead of Q and R and as this is a technical
subject which is hard to teach to immature minds it is
much better placed higher up in the course. This change
also relieved the necessity of teaching three subjects to one
class in a semester as we have been doing in the Q class
where the boys took elementary patternmaking, foundry
practice and blacksmithing all in nineteen weeks. Under
the present arrangement no class will receive instruction
in more than two shop subjects in a half year.
Another improvement made possible by this new course
is the placing of printing as a part of the Mechanic Arts
course. In the past we have taught it only to those pupils
who elected to take it as an extra subject after school.
Now all pupils taking this course will have an opportunity
of doing printing as a part of their regular work and receive
due credit for it.
Evening School.
This is the first year that any of the Mechanic Arts
courses have been taught to evening classes. A class in
Mechanical Drawing has been conducted for two evenings
a week this winter and much interest has been shown. The
class has been a success from every standpoint and there
should be provision made for a still larger number next
year. Several difficulties such as heating, lighting, and
janitor service had to be contended with but have been
solved for all time so the class next year can be conducted
at a very reasonable expense. Mr. Taylor has been the
teacher and he should be given due credit for its success.
Summer School.
During the summer of 1915 a class was organized with
the assistance and approval of the State Department of
96 CITY OF CONCORD.
Public Instruction to meet the needs of teachers wishing to
perfect themselves in the Mechanic Arts courses. In 1916
this class was well attended there being teachers from all
parts of the state including Berlin, Whitefield, Claremont,
Portsmouth, Pittsfield, Hinsdale, Boscawen, Exeter and
Fitchburg, Mass. Ninety per cent, of those attending last
year have signified their intention to return next summer.
Although this is more or less of a private enterprise it re-
flects credit upon the Concord school system to have men
from all parts of the state come here to study the methods
used during the year. Courses were given last summer in
woodworking, cabinetmaking, patternmaking and forging.
This coming summer we are in hopes of starting additional
courses in machine-shop practice and printing.
Equipment.
The equipment of the school is in excellent condition and
is constantly being improved by repairs made at the school.
No extra appropriation need be, made this year for equip-
ment as the necessary tools can be obtained by the appro-
priation made for maintenance. The two heaviest items to
be considered are 15 sets of small tools for the machine shop
which will cost about $80 and a new supply of type which
will amount to about
Improvements and Repairs.
During the past year the building has been improved by
painting the walls and ceiling of the drawing room, the
addition of three semi-indirect electric lights and two
Humphry gas lights. Three gas steam radiators were
installed in the drawing room for use in the evening school
and three in the machine shop to assist in heating the room
for day school. These have been satisfactory in every
respect and there should be no difficulty in heating this
building in the future.
Last year I suggested that a wash room with twenty-four
bowls connected with hot and cold water should be installed
in the basement for the use of the pupils working in the
SCHOOL REPORT. 97
forge and machine shops. We are still in need of this most
common convenience. I hope it may be added this year.
We also need a small sink or wash bowl in the print shop as
the pupils here have to wash in a room containing grammar
school classes much to the annoyance of the teacher. The
plumbing already in the building is arranged in such a
manner that the installation of this sink will be a very
simple matter.
Respectfully submitted,
ARTHUR W. FRENCH.

Children come to the village green carrying apronfuls of wood for the
Midsummer's fire.
They knock at Dame Wenlock's cottage and in return for wood dance
for her "Selinger's Round"; then, at request of the villagers they dance
"Bo Peep." While they rest the little children play games. After this
the villagers dance the "Peasecod" dance which is interrupted by the
Crier who announces the St. John's fire to be set at nine o'clock of the
Midsummer's Eve.
Song — "It was a Lover and his Lass" from "As You Like It"

The villagers enter, the Mayor and his lady in lead. The young
people run in chasing Will Shakespeare, who wins by a trick. For
forfeit he must tell a story. Two villagers wrestle. Young people
dance the Morris dance. A whistling contest is won by Shakespeare.
He then tells the story of the Fire Spirit who dances about the flames
with her attendants. After leaping over the flames, the young people
join in a dance which is interrupted by the Town Crier. He announces
that all good people should go home except the adventurous ones who
wish to seek the seed of the Magic Fairy. When found at Midnight,
this seed gives invisibility and leads to treasure. Many laugh and
depart. Most of the young people go in search of the Magic Seed,.
Song — "Where the Bee Suck's" from "The Tempest"

to the magic fern seed, carry him away to the village.

REPORT OF SCHOOL BOARD.
March 14, 1917.
To the Citizens of Concord Town School District:
We had intended postponing the District Meeting until
the legislature had acted upon a bill proposing the union
of Concord Town District and Concord Union District.
Because of developments at the hearing last evening, we
have decided to call the meeting at once. There is no time
to print any extensive report.
One thousand six hundred fifty dollars will be required,
next year, to pay High School tuitions. Three hundred
twenty-five dollars will be required for text-books and
scholars' supplies, and ten dollars for flags and appurte-
nances.

PUBLIC LIBRARY.
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES.
To the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Concord:
The trustee of the Public Library have the pleasure of
calling your attention to the annexed report of the librarian,
and to venture to suggest that it furnishes ample proof of
the successful administration of this department during the
past year, so far as present conditions will permit. The
librarian and her assistants are entitled to much credit for
their persistent and skilful efforts in behalf of the library.
The trustees at their annual meeting in January voted to
ask for an appropriation for the present year equal in
amount to that of last year. A reduction of the appropria-
tion would be unfortunate for the interests of the library.
Respectfully submitted,
REUBEN E. WALKER,
President, Board of Trustees.
February 1, 1917.
REPORT OF THE CITY LIBRARIAN FOR 1916.
To the Board of Trustees of the Concord Public Library:
Gentlemen : An annual report should be history rather
than fiction, and as 1916 was an uneventful year at our
library, this report will necessarily be brief.
The city government favored us with a larger appropria-
tion than usual and we were, therefore, able to buy 1,125
volumes as against 885 in the previous twelve months. Of
these 1,125 books, 730 were new titles, 235 were replace-
ments, 160 were duplicates.
We acquired 75 more volumes in bound periodicals; as
always we received publications from institutions and
societies, and a few works from their authors; Abba Goold
Woolson, Rossiter Johnson and Scott Nearing thus remem-
bered us in 1916. A number of books on the war sent by
Sir Gilbert Parker to the Y. M. C. A. have been handed
over to us. The late Giles Wheeler directed that we be
given some of his valuable manuscript papers relating to
Concord history and genealogy. To Mrs. H. H. Wright
we are again indebted for many stories which meet with
brisk demand.
We discarded 398 worn-out volumes; the net gain to the
library was 802 volumes, which added to the 29,378 already
on our shelves, brings the total number of volumes, Decem-
ber 31, 1916, to 30,180. I am grateful to Russell Cushing
and Foster Sturtevant for the time they spent in examining
our mechanical and electrical books, with subsequent advice
as to which ones were too antiquated to be worth keeping.
The cost of books is rising appreciably owing to scarcity
of paper, and this fact will have an effect on our purchases
in 1917. Lead also has gone up, and we now have a care
that the writing-pads and pencils put out for use in the
reference room are not wasted.
PUBLIC LIBRARY. 159
Our total circulation during the year was 94,927 volumes,
of which 88,187 were charged at the desk for home reading,
and 6,752 were consulted in the reference room: or, more
strictly speaking, 6,752 persons came to Miss Brown with
questions and to the majority she showed more than one
book in answering their inquiries. We have filled 25 out-
of-town applications for material on widely differing sub-
jects, such as, drama, dynamos, birds, South America,
psychic phenomena and manual training.
It is interesting to note how a change in the school curric-
ulum alters the line of books asked. for: for instance, local
history which was studied so ardently that we were driven
to making a detailed index to Bouton's History of Concord
is now dropped, and pupils call for data on commercial
topics. I should like to mention the very intelligent use
by members of the Music Club of books bearing upon the
composers and works on their program for the season. For
a score of years interest in standard authors has languished,
and we have been gratified to see this revived by Professor
Childs's course of lectures.
Notwithstanding that six books were stolen in three weeks
from our new-book rack, we have continued the changing
display there, because nowhere else in town can a person
who really cares for literature drop down and examine a
dozen recent inspirational, instructive or clever works in
prose and poetry : the taking away of this privilege would be
felt by some of the live minds in our city. Inferentially
the thief was one of our better read citizens, for he purloined
"Present Day China," "Our First War with Mexico,"
"The Lion's Share," "A Country Chronicle," "Ambulance
No. 10," "The Third French Republic."
As in previous years I have attended library conferences
here and there to avoid getting into a rut professionally.
The appointment of Miss Ruth Chase on the staff has
been a benefit as lessening the strain of labor on the three
faithful assistants of long standing.
160 CITY OF CONCORD.
The Concord public, the trustees of this library, and my
co-workers unite in making the years pass without friction
and with good results.
Respectfully submitted,
GRACE BLANCHARD,
City Librarian.

The Board of Health submits the following report for
the year ending December 31, 1916. The organization of
the Board was as follows: Mayor Hobbs, ex-officio, chair-
man; Dr. Charles H. Cook, city physician, secretary, and
Dr. Fred A. Sprague, member. Dr. Charles Duncan was
appointed milk inspector for the year and Mr. Charles E.
Palmer was sanitary officer. Regular meetings were held
on the first Monday of each month at 4 o'clock, p. m.
These meetings were well attended and much interest was
shown by the members in the matters presented for dis-
cussion.
At a conference between the medical members of the
Board of Education of Union School District, Dr. E. E.
Graves, Health Officer at Boscawen, and the medical mem-
bers of the Board of Health, some changes were recom-
mended in the rules and regulations pertaining to con-
tagious disease in its relation to school attendance. These
changes were approved by the full Board of Health. At the
same time other changes seemed advisable in the Rules and
Regulations concerning contagious diseases and vaccina-
tion. Accordingly, the whole code was revised and it was
thought made to conform with the most recent ideas of
epidemiological science. The Rules and Regulations as
revised were submitted to your Board and by your approval
became operative September 11, 1916.
In the latter part of May this Board, accompanied by
Sanitary Officer Palmer and Superintendent Sanders of
the Water Department, made a careful sanitary survey of
162 CITY OF CONCORD.
the catchment area of Penacook Lake. There was very
little chance for criticism. However, it was suggested to
Mr. Tandy of the State Hospital that a septic tank be
installed at one of the cottages and a concrete container
for the manure at Sunnyside Farm. Mr. Tandjr expressed
himself as willing to undertake these improvements and a
subsequent inspection of the premises by the Board showed
that they had been made as suggested. It is believed that
all danger from that quarter has thus been removed. The
recent purchase of the Crowley property at the head of the
Lake by the Water Board is strongly commended by this
Board. Another possible source of slight contamination
is thus removed from the catchment area.
Owing to the epidemic of infantile paralysis during the
summer and fall it was thought best to take some steps to
prevent the dreadful malady from gaining a foothold in our
community. Accordingly, some rules were drawn up
which it was thought might serve a useful purpose without
imposing hardship on any person concerned. Some opposi-
tion was expected and encountered, but by far the larger
portion of the community were anxious to cooperate in our
efforts to keep the plague away. One of our leading daily
papers is an editorial relative to the opposition to the regu-
lations ended by saying it thought it was "better to be safe
than sorry." This was the key-note to the Board's action
in the matter very tersely expressed. Only one case of this
disease was reported during the year.
With respect to diphtheria we were not so fortunate, 54
cases having been reported during the year. This number
is considerably in excess of the average and is doubtless
accounted for in a large measure by the mildness of the
cases. Many of these mild cases were doubtless not seen
by a physician and, being allowed to go at large, were
constantly infecting others. In one instance the attention
of the Board's physician was called to the fact that there
was sickness in a family living near a quarantined case.
In searching for the source of contagion this family was
investigated and cultures taken. Two of the children were

thus found to have diphtheria in the convalescent stage.
This family had called in a physician who, owing to the
mildness of the symptoms, had failed to make a diagnosis.
This instance forcibly illustrates the vital necessity of
taking cultures from the noses and throats of all sick chil-
dren during the prevalence of diphtheria. Indeed, when
there is the slightest doubt as to the exact nature of the
trouble it is a good rule to follow at all times.
Many cultures were taken from the throats and noses of
school children by the city physician, and in this manner
several "carriers" were detected. If parents would take
the trouble to note the slight ailments (colds, sore noses,
sore throats, feverishness, etc.) of their children, seeking
the advice of a competent physician immediately, most
outbreaks of contagious disease would be short-lived.
Every practicing physician in the community is morally
an unofficial member of the Board of Health and as such
has definite duties to perform. One of these duties is to
educate his patients along the lines outline above. Another
duty is to furnish all possible information and cooperation
to the official Board of Health. If a physician makes a
sweeping statement that "the Board of Health is at fault
because we are having so much diphtheria, " it is not appar-
ent just how the community is benefited by the impeach-
ment. On the other hand if he comes over to the office with
some useful advice, information or criticism he will be doing
a real service. It is hoped more of the "unofficial members "
will come in and qualify during the next year.
The reports of the sanitary officer and the milk inspector
are appended to and made a part of this report, and should
be consulted for details of the department's activities.
Respectfully submitted,
NATHANIEL W. HOBBS,
CHAS. H. COOK,
FRED A. SPRAGUE,

REPORT OF THE MILK INSPECTOR.
To the Board of Health:
Gentlemen: The examinations of milk made by the
inspector appear in another part of the Board of Health
report. All examinations except one, a sample found to be
watered, were well up to the standard required by law,
barring one or two samples which showed considerable
dirt.
During the year the changes in ownership of the different
milk routes of the city have caused considerable unrest
among the consumers and bother to the department.
These changes are a result of the small profits the men enjoy
as a result of the high price of feed and the scarcity of cattle
as a result of the European war but in spite of the changes
among the retailers the farms that supply our milk are prac-
tically the same as last year.
The price of milk has increased one cent a quart; this fact
brings no complaints as people realize that it is in line with
the increased cost of all other foods. It is still true, how-
ever, that milk is the cheapest food we enjoy for price paid,
nine cents a quart.
The care of milk sold in Concord is a credit to the pro-
ducers. There are many farms now that have conditions
which are beyond just criticism; namely, a room with cement
floors, away from the barn, where the milk is taken, cooled
and put up in bottles washed and sterilized by steam. Here
the milk is stored in cement troughs thoroughly iced till
ready for delivery. Besides all this the herd that supplies
the milk is housed in clean, well ventilated barns.
The policy of the inspection work will continue the same
as that laid down in previous reports. There is the best
of cooperation among all concerned in the handling of milk.
The association of milk men at the annual meeting has
good, healthy discussions of everything pertaining to the
HEALTH DEPARTMENT. 165
business and gives the inspector every support in bringing
about needed changes that will help the consumer.
The bottling of all milk is a betterment we are hoping
for in the near future when the business is more settled.
This has the support of most of the men in the business and
is looked forward to as a needed step in advance. ■
Respectfully,
CHARLES DUNCAN,
Milk Inspector.
REPORT OF THE SANITARY OFFICER.
To the Board of Health:
Gentlemen: Herewith is submitted the report of the
sanitary officer for the year ending December 31, 1916,
with tables showing the work of the department.
There were 467 deaths during the year, one more than in
1915, and organic diseases of the heart caused the largest
number of deaths, 79, or 17.36 per cent of the total number,
excluding stillbirths. Two hundred and twenty-four deaths
occurred in the different wards of the city and 243 at the
public institutions. Estimating the population at 22,000
and excluding the non-resident deaths, 173, and the still-
births, 12, this gave a death-rate of 12.81. Transit per-
mits were issued for the removal of 167 bodies to other
places for interment, and burial permits were granted for
the interment of 88 bodies brought to Concord from out of
town.
The total number of cases of contagious diseases reported
were 468, with 7 deaths. An epidemic of measles brought
the total number of cases to 382. Included in this number
were 65 cases at St. Paul's School. There were 54 cases of
diphtheria including 4 carriers and 42 of these cases were
reported after the first of September, a majority being
school children. Three carrier cases were detected by
Doctor Cook in the schools and the children were sent
home and the school rooms disinfected. The fatalities
from diphtheria totalled 4. There were 18 cases of scarlet
fever during the year with no deaths. Concord was re-
markably free from typhoid fever there being only 8 cases
reported with one death. We were very fortunate during
the outbreak of infantile paralysis in other communities
to have only one case. Every precaution was taken to
safeguard the health of our citizens. Whooping cough
caused one death and there were five cases reported.
HEALTH DEPARTMENT. 167
Numerous complaints of various character were received
during the year and each given attention. These com-
plaints were due "largely to dead animals, the keeping of
hens and pigs, odors from stables, the throwing out of slops,
swill and rubbish, uncleanly condition of premises and yards,
plumbing out of repair or in an unsanitary condition,
broken catch basin traps, offensive privy vaults and odors
from various causes. Inspections were made from time to
time of the alleyways in the rear of the business blocks and
proprietors of stores and markets were requested to keep
the rear of their establishments free from objectionable
rubbish.
Inspections were made during the summer of the stone
sheds and in a number of cases notices were served to owners
to improve the sanitary conditions.
Several inspections of Long Pond were made and all
suggestions mentioned by this department were carried out
satisfactorily. The shores were never in better condition
and the city's water supply well protected.
With so little building during the year there was less
plumbing installed than in former years, but water tests
were made of all new work and 97 permits were granted.
All public halls were inspected the latter part of the
year and numerous improvements were suggested for the
improvement of conditions in toilet room as well as in the
general cleanliness of halls and ante-rooms.
Sixty-one milk farms were visited and many improve-
ments noted. A number of improvements were suggested
which if carried out will bring still greater improvement.
Our appropriation for the year was $3,400.00 and the
total expenditures were S3, 122.03, leaving a balance of
$277.97. The expense for the care of contagious disease
patients was $346.37, a majority of the cases requiring as-
sistance by this department during quarantine being cared
for at the Foster Ward, Margaret Pillsbury Hospital. The
cost for fumigation supplies was somewhat more than in
former years owing to the advance in the price of material
used. Two hundred and six dollars and ninety-five cents

was received for milk license fees and $2.50 from the sale
of fumigation supplies.
I wish to express my thanks to the Mayor and the other
members of the Board of Health, the members of the city
government and all the city officials who have rendered
assistance to this department during the year.
Respectfully submitted,

Recommendations.
I renew my recommendation that a suitable room be
constructed for the detention of women and juveniles, and
that the old ward room be remodeled into a guard-room
for the officers.
I wish to thank His Honor, Mayor Nathaniel W. Hobbs,
and the Honorable Board of Aldermen for their courteous
treatment and support. I desire to thank His Honor Judge
Clark, City Solicitor Alexander Murchie, County Solicitor
Robert C. Murchie, Clerk of the Court Allan Robinson, and
all others who have assisted this department during the
year. To the officers of the department, I extend my
appreciation for their hearty cooperation and faithfulness.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE A. S. KIMBALL,
City Marshal.
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC
WORKS.
REPORT OF THE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT.
To the Board of Public Works:
Gentlemen: In presenting the annual report of the
work of the highway department for 1916 I will say that
there never has been a time when it has been so difficult to
accomplish the necessary work as in this past year. Suffi-
cient suitable labor c6uld not be found and it was impossible
to obtain crushed stone and other road materials when
needed. In several instances we were obliged to stop con-
struction work on account of shortage in road materials and
delays in shipping, etc. This was not only annoying, but
expensive, and prevented the department from doing all
the work that had been planned for the year. It made it
very evident that storage bins for stone and tanks for road
oils would be very practical.
I do not consider that the highway department is properly
and adequately equipped to perform the work required as
promptly and efficiently as it should. We need some good
horses. We have taken over several from the fire depart-
ment and while we have been able to use them to better
advantage than the fire department could have, still they
are not first-class horses. There are times during the
year when a truck cannot be used to as good advantage as
horses but we need a light truck for emergency and repair
work. There should be a new crusher, tar heater and a
number of pieces of equipment added which would enable
the department to perform the required work in a more up-
to-date manner. And there should also be more shed room
on the city lot to house the equipment. I called your
attention in last year's report to this matter of shed room
188 CITY OF CONCORD.
and crusher. It is too expensive to repair the old crusher
any longer and it does not do the work required. We
certainly need a new one.
For permanent work in 1916, Park Street from Main to
State, South State from Fayette to Monroe, North Main on
the west side from Pitman to Center were macadamized,
North State Street from Call to Penacook Street recon-
structed, a section of Pleasant Street near Pleasant View
resurfaced and a portion of Washington Square in Penacook
concreted. Sections of South, South Main and Penacook
Street were to have been macadamized but the work could
not be done owing to the difficulty of securing labor and
materials. Neither were we able to complete the work on
North State Street and from the cemetery to Penacook
Street only one half of the roadway was rebuilt.
I would recommend that next year North State Street
and those other streets on which the work planned was not
done be finished. There is but one section of Main Street
through the business part that is not concreted, that being
the east side from Park to Center. The granite block
paving there is very rough and it should be removed and
and street concreted. South State Street from Monroe
Street south should be macadamized. Warren Street was
macadamized a number of years ago and the constant
traffic which that street receives has worn it badly and it
should be reconstructed from Spring Street west. I believe
that the petition for improving Auburn Street which was
received this past year was considered and it was decided to
do something there another season. However, I would not
recommend laying out too extensive work in the line of
permanent improvements as we shall doubtless have as
much difficulty in obtaining materials and suitable labor as
last season.
A number of streets received surface treatment and a
good deal more should be done in that line next summer.
We received $760.13 from the state for maintenance work
on the trunk lines.
The usual amount of miscellaneous work has been done
BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS. 189
by the department during the year. Quite a number of
street signs have been put up and we are making special
effort to get all streets properly marked. No large number
of petitions for new concrete walks were received but the
calls for repairing concrete walks are increasing every year.
Several new catch basins were built and frequent showers
made it necessary to clean them all several times during the
summer.
Some of the new bridges that were recently erected are
much in need of painting, especially the Pembroke bridge.
The plank for the new floor of the Loudon bridge has been
received and work will be begun there as soon as weather
permits.
The demand for driveways is the source of much trouble
for the department. Whenever possible we have avoided
putting in pipe driveways as they are constantly freezing
up in winter and becoming filled during the summer months
and in heavy rains flood the street and do considerable
damage.
Not as much work was necessary on trees last year as
previously. We find that the brown-tail moth is disap-
pearing but the number of gypsy moth nests is increasing.
Nevertheless, the appropriation allowed some work to be
done in planting trees. Only fifty were set out but if the
work proves at all successful we hope to plant more another
season.
Oil was used again for dust laying last summer and I
recommend its use another year.
The use of a truck for collecting garbage has proved both
practical and efficient. During the winter months when
the snow is quite heavy we find it better to use the teams
instead of the truck. During that time the truck is thor-
oughly overhauled and is kept in good condition for service.
For their continued interest in the work of this depart-
ment I wish to thank the members of the board.
Respectfully submitted,
ALFRED CLARK.

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS. 207
REPORT OF THE CITY ENGINEER.
City Engineer's Office, City Hall,
Concord, N. H., December 31, 1916.
To the Board of Public Works:
The sixth annual report to this board, showing work done
under the superyision of the engineering department, for
this board, is herewith submitted.
Sewall's Falls Bridge.
Late in December, 1915, work was suspended on this
structure, leaving the coal-tar wearing surface to be laid
on the floor and the painting of the metal above the floor
level to complete it.
In June the floor was cleared, the coal-tar wearing surface
laid and the painting of the bridge completed in accordance
with the terms of the contract. A final certificate of com-
pletion was issued by your engineer on June 26, 1916.
The completion of this structure gives safe bridges across
the Merrimack River, for all traffic permissable upon the
public highway, by whatever route one approaches the city.
Sewers.
It was impossible to complete the work planned for the
past season, owing to the scarcity of labor. With the force
we were able to secure it was possible to make necessary
repairs and some additions to the manholes and lampholes
which were badly needed.
The Beacon Street sewer was not built but the material
for the same was purchased and delivered at a point where
it can be easily and economically distributed on the trench
when needed for the work. The construction of this sewer
should go on as soon as it is possible to secure the labor for
this much needed improvement.
208 CITY OF CONCORD.
At the present time there appears to be no reason to
expect any great change in the labor situation for the coming
season and but two courses seem to be open to your board.
Either to contract for the work of building the Beacon
Street sewer, with some party or parties having an organ-
ization for such work, or, to purchase, or lease machinery
for this particular job and attempt to carry on the con-
struction with such help as we can secure locally.
We are having serious trouble in the smaller sewers with
tree roots getting into them, and some means must be
provided for either cleaning these sewers, or taking them
up and relaying them at a great expense.
I would advise the purchase of a cleaning machine and
some action to stop the planting of such trees in the streets
as cause the most of the trouble, notably the North Carolina
poplar. These trees have caused much trouble in private
sewers and are now reaching the public sewers wherever
planted.
The plans showing sewers and connections have been
brought up to date, in the city precinct.
There has been expended for maintenance and construc-
tion the following amounts:
REPAIRS.

MCKINLEY STREET.
The sewer in this street was found to be broken down
where a soft bottom existed and 146 feet, at its westerly-
end, had to be relaid and a foundation put in for 81 feet.
Sixty-five feet at its westerly end was relaid at a higher
level than the original sewer owing to the scarcity of labor.
This 65 feet will have to be relaid at the old level when a
sewer is laid in Broadway southerly from McKinley Street,
or, when labor can be secured for this work.

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS. 213
Lines and grades were given the street department for
sidewalk and street work whenever requested.
Monthly measurements were made of coal-tar concrete
laid on streets and sidewalks, statements of the square yards
in place, cost and location of same shown and these state-
ments turned over to the heads of departments paying for
the same and to the committee on lands and buildings.
Some time has been spent on the proposed road diversion
at Saint Paul's School with their engineer, adjusting grades,
alignment, bridge span and location and in looking up the
old layouts of eixsting roads that were in the district cov-
ered by this change.
For the many courtesies extended this department by
your board, I wish to express my appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,

report of the city engineer. 215
Fire Department.
Plans showing the location of all fire-alarm boxes and
hydrants, in the city proper and in Penacook, have been
made and delivered to the chief of this department.
Building Petitions.
Forty-seven petitions have been presented to the chief
of the fire department and myself for consideration and
action.
We attended forty-six hearings and granted the petitions.
One petition was abandoned by the petitioners before the
date set for the hearing.
This makes a total of three-hundred and seventy-one
petitions which have come before us, for action, since June
1901.
Cemeteries.
Block "B B" was laid out in lots in Blossom Hill Ceme-
tery during the past season: plan and blueprints of same
have been furnished the superintendent.
Work on the much needed culvert in the northwesterly
section of Blossom Hill Cemetery has been started and on
its completion new blocks can be very economically laid
out and made available for burial purposes in this section
of the yard.
We were able to secure much information from surveys
during the past season, which will aid us in future work of
development, in the section yet to be laid out and graded.
The deed book of Blossom Hill Cemetery has been brought
up to date, covering the lots sold and transferred as shown
by the city deed books.
Burials have been added to the book showing the occupa-
tion of lots in the Old North Cemetery.
Playgrounds.
At the Kimball playground space was staked out for the
construction of tennis courts, levels taken and such aid
given the committee as we were able to render.
216 CITY OF CONCORD.
Plans for a tool house were made for the Rollins' Park
playground committee.
At White Park stakes were set for the rough grading of
the ball ground at its northerly end and some time spent in
the effort to locate a roadway from the westerly end of
Beacon Street to High Street with usable grades.
Plans were also made for a stairway from the westerly
end of Beacon Street to High Street, which plans are in the
hands of the park commissioners.
Water- Works.
Surveys showing land areas have been made for this
department near the head of the Lake and plans furnished
the superintendent.
Copies of plans were made for use in the suit of McQuilken
against the city.
Assessors' Maps.
During the season we have practically completed the
surveys for these maps. Some small details still remain
to be worked out in the field, but they will not require the
expenditure of much time or money.
We expect to have the plans for the assessors' use com-
pleted by April 1, 1917.
There was appropriated for this work the sum of five
hundred dollars; there was expended the sum of five hundred
seventy dollars and forty-five cents. The balance above
the appropriation was taken from the funds of the engi-
neering department.
Miscellaneous.
The report of the board of examiners of plumbers and the
hydrant commissioners has been placed before you in their
respective reports to this board.
Meetings of this board and the Board of Public Works
have been attended when information was requested from
this department.
Plans for changes and improvements at the Good-Will
REPORT OF THE CITY ENGINEER. 217
Hose House were made for the Committee on Lands and
Buildings, bids secured by the committee, and the work
carried out under their direction.
The changes made in this station give much better clear-
ance for the apparatus housed therein, both in leaving and
entering the premises.
The floor in the Central Fire Station was strengthened
to carry the new pumping engine.
The employees of this department during the past season
were: Fred W. Lang, principal assistant; Orion H. Hardy,
transitman; Joseph H. Lane, rodman, whose services have
been of value to the city in their respective positions.
For the privilege of attending the annual meeting of the
American Society of Municipal Improvements, and the
uniform courtesy and interest shown this department by
the Mayor and your Board, I wish to express my apprecia-
tion.
Respectfully submitted,
WILL B. HOWE,
City Engineer.

Concord, N. H., December 31, 1916.
To the Board of Mayor and Aldermen:
The eleventh report of this board, for the year 1916, is
herewith submitted.
One meeting was held during the year and the location of
a hydrant on the westerly side of South Main Street near
the residence of Albert P. Davis was recommended.

FIRE DEPARTMENT.
REPORT OF CHIEF ENGINEER.
To the Board of Aldermen:
In accordance with the requirements of the city ordi-
nance, I herewith submit for your consideration the report
of the Fire Department for the year 1916.
The department responded to 34 bell alarms and 239 still
alarms.
In addition, two fires occurred, entailing loss, for which
no alarms were given, making a total of 275 for the year.

This report will be found to contain statements in detail
embracing the amount of expenditures, a complete roll of
the department with residence and occupation of each mem-
ber, a record of all fires and alarms which have occurred
during the year and the causes thereof as nearly as could
be ascertained, with the names of the owners or occupants
and the value, loss, insurance, and insurance recovered in
each case.
Nothing of importance occurred during the year, the
city suffering less from fire loss than for a great many years.
The apparatus is in good condition. The fire alarm
system is also in good condition. The same can be truth-
fully said of the system at Penacook.
FIRE DEPARTMENT. 223
One box was purchased for the Penacook system, but
not installed.
An electric pump for testing hose was purchased during
the year and found to be satisfactory.
The duties incumbent on the undersigned in the line of
inspection of wires and buildings have been performed.
In compliance with instructions from your honorable
body, the seating capacity of all halls in the city has been
established, and notices to that effect have been posted in
said halls.
As more hose was condemned than purchased during the
year, I would respectfully recommend the purchase of at
least one thousand feet.
During the month of August, I had the pleasure of at-
tending the convention of the International Association of
Fire Engineers held at Providence, R. I., a report of which
I rendered at that time.
I wish again to take occasion to thank your honorable
body for the opportunity afforded me to attend.
Respectfully submitted,
W. C. GREEN,
Chief Engineer.

Directions for Giving an Alarm.
Above all things, keep cool.
To obtain the key to the box, break the glass in the key-
box located beneath the alarm box.
In each box there is a small bell called a "tell-tale,"
designed expressly for the purpose of informing you whether
an alarm is being transmitted the instant you open the
door.
Open the box, and if this bell is not heard, pull down
the hook once only and let go.
But if this bell should be heard, it would indicate that
another box had been pulled, and it would be useless to at-
tempt to pull another until the one already pulled had per-
formed its mission.
Wait until 20 seconds have elapsed after the "tell-tale"
has stopped ringing, close the door, which will restore the
armature to the position it left when the door was opened.
Open the door, pull down the hook once only and let go.
Should there be no response, pull it again.
Then should there be no response, go to the next box.
Unless your presence is most urgently required at the
scene of the fire, remain at the box to direct the depart-
ment.
Never open the box or touch anything pertaining to it
except in case of fire.
Never given an alarm for a fire seen at a distance.
Be reasonably sure that there is a fire before giving an
alarm.
Never give an alarm for a chimney fire unless there is
imminent danger of the building catching.

REPORT OF BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS.
Office of the Board of Water Commissioners,
Concord, N. H., February 16, 1917.
To His Honor the Mayor and the Board of Aldermen:
The Board of Water Commissioners has the honor to
transmit herewith the report of the superintendent for the .
calendar year 1916. His report is so comprehensive and in
such detail as to furnish full and complete information in
regard to the operations of the department for the period
covered and it leaves little to be added.
The Board, however, desires to express its appreciation of
the faithful service rendered by the superintendent and all
the employees under his supervision.
We take pleasure in calling special attention to these
features in the report of the superintendent :
1st. In regard to the quantity and quality of the supply.
2d. The reduction of the debt of the water precinct by
the retirement of bonds.
For many years, the Board has been embarrassed by
questions in regard to the rights of the public to the use of
the waters of Penacook Lake and its tributaries for certain
purposes and in two instances litigation has resulted. One
suit is still pending. The attitude of the Board has been
to await the judicial determination of the questions, i. e.,
the rights of the public and the rights and duties of the Board
in the premises.
The questions at issue in the suit now pending were con-
sidered by the late Chief Justice of the Superior Court, Hon.
Robert G. Pike, and his finding of facts in the case filed with
288 CITY OF CONCORD.
the Superior Court apparently substantiate in full all of
the contentions of the Board and it is expected that a decree
based upon these findings will shortly be entered.
Respectfully submitted,

record since 1904. Water was running over the overflow
155 days during the year.
The Venturi meter has now been in operation through out
one year and tha use of water has averaged 2,362,000 gallons
per day.
Estimating the population of the city supplied with water
from our system as 20,000, the daily consumption is about
118 gallons per capita.
Owing to the continued advance in prices of materials and
the scarcity of labor, we have done very little construction
work and the year has been occupied with the routine work
of the maintenance of the system.
We have continued the work of reforestation at Penacook
Lake, setting out 27,000 additional pine seedlings procured
from the state nurseries.
We have purchased an auto truck of 2000 pounds'
capacity built by Abbot & Downing Co. of this city which is
giving excellent service.
The rules and regulations of your Board governing boating
and fishing on Penacook Lake have been strictly adhered to.
WATER DEPARTMENT. 295
Buoys were placed one-quarter mile from the intake and no
boating whatever was allowed on this part of Penacook
Lake nor on Forge Pond. All persons fishing or boating on
other parts of Penacook Lake have applied for permits which
were granted and the conditions have been complied with
satisfactorily.
Respectfully submitted,
PERCY R. SANDERS,
Superintendent.

REPORT OF CITY SOLICITOR.
Concord, N. H., February 9, 1917.
To the Board of Aldermen:
The following report is made for the purpose of explaining
specifically to the board the progress of the litigation during
the past year in which the city has been interested.
Boston & Maine Railroad v. Concord was a petition for
the abatement of taxes assessed upon certain personal
property located at the shops which consisted of about one-
half million dollars worth of lumber and supplies of all
kinds. The tax was assessed under the stock in trade
statute, so-called. The case was referred by the superior
court to the tax commission to find the facts. The tax
commission found as a matter of fact, in accordance with
our contention, that the railroad was engaged in manu-
facturing at the local shops. Exceptions were taken to the
finding of the commission and the case went to the supreme
court where it was argued at the June term. The court
held (1) that taxes cannot be assessed by towns or cities
except by legislative authority, (2) the state has always
retained the power to tax railroad property and never has
delegated that power to towns and cities except in the case
of real estate not used in the ordinary business of the road,
and (3) towns and cities have no power to assess taxes on
the personal property of railroads.
Of course this case was in the nature of a test case for
the purpose of finally determining whether the city or the
state should tax this property. Since the above decision
the attorney-general has intervened in behalf of the state
and that action is now pending.
In my report for 1915 I discussed the case of Archibald
McClellan & a. Trustees, v. Concord, which was a petition
326 CITY OF CONCORD.
for the abatement of taxes assessed on the Eddy trust
estate. At that time I drew attention to the statute which
had been passed after the case arose and which would
thereafter furnish statutory authority for the taxation of the
whole of the trust. At the same time I drew attention to
the possible question as to whether the statute was con-
stitutional, as under the situation then existing it would
have resulted in a double taxation of five-sixths of the
property in view of the fact that Massachusetts was also
taxing five-sixths of the estate. Since making my last
report a similar case has arisen in Massachusetts involving
the question of the right of Massachusetts under its statutes
to tax a trust estate created in another commonwealth,
but held by Massachusetts trustees. The supreme court
of Massachusetts held that the Massachusetts statutes did
not give the right of taxation of such estate in said Massa-
chusetts. Accordingly, the Brookline, Massachusetts,
assessors did not tax the Eddy estate at all for 1916 and the
tax was paid to Concord.
Ward v. City of Concord was a petition for mandamus to
require the Board of Public Works to issue a permit to the
plaintiff to install a sidewalk pump. The case was referred
to Burns P. Hodgman, master, to find the facts. After a
lengthy trial he reported that the board acted in perfect
good faith and the case is now pending in the superior court
on a motion filed by me for confirmation of the report and
dismissal of the petition.
Ordway v. Concord and Moore v. Concord, the first for
personal and the second for property damage, arose out of
the overturning of an automobile on the Loudon road in the
summer of 1915. The injuries claimed by Ordway were
very serious, including curvature of the spine. Moore
claimed that his automobile was seriously damaged and that
he was injured in his business by reason of not being able
to use the automobile. Both cases were compromised
for $1,700, which seemed good judgment in view of
the fact that the bank over which the machine went was
unrailed and the road in a sandy condition. The plaintiffs
REPORT OF CITY SOLICITOR. 327
claimed that the machine struck a rock in the road which
diverted the machine over the bank.
Tilton v. Concord is a test case to determine whether the
city of Concord is liable for the support of certain paupers
now living in Tilton. The question is whether a city or
town is liable for the support of paupers for a period greater
than ten years from the time such people commenced to
gain their settlement in such city or town. The case has
gone to the supreme court on an agreed statement of facts
without ruling and will be argued at the March session.
State v. Robinson was a test case to determine whether
automobile fines collected in the local municipal court
belong to the city or the state. On March 4, 1915, the
legislature enacted that all fines collected in police courts
should belong to the municipalities and repealed all incon-
sistent statutes. At that time the criminal law applicable
to all courts of criminal jurisdiction provided that all fines
imposed for violations of the automobile law should go to
the state. The legislature apparently thought that a
mistake had been made and the act of March 4, 1915, was
amended at the same session twenty days later so as to
except "cases where otherwise specifically fixed by statute."
We took the position that the act of March 4, 1915, repealed
the law then in force in regard to automobile fines and that
the act passed twenty days later had no effect, upon the
theory that the repeal of the act of March 4, 1915, did not
revive the earlier provision repealed by said act, in accord-
ance with the rule of the common law and of the statutes
of New Hampshire. The supreme court, however, did not
take this view. It held that the plain intent of the legis-
lature was to remedy the situation created by inadvertence
so as to permit such fines to go to the state as they had
formerly gone. This was undoubtedly a correct determina-
tion of the case and accomplished what was desired, the
removal of a doubt in the minds of the officials of the munic-
ipal courts throughout the state as to whom they could
safely pay out the fines in their hands.
Concord Manufacturing Company v. Concord is a petition
328 CITY OF CONCORD.
for abatement of taxes on the plaintiff's mill, situated in
Ward 1. The case was referred by the superior court to the
tax commission for a finding of fact and has been there for a
considerable length of time. Acting under authority from
the board, I secured the services of a mill expert to make a
valuation of the plant in preparation for the trial. This
the expert has done and has supplied me with a compre-
hensive report which confirms the opinion of the assessors
as to the value of the plant. I have endeavored to get a
trial of the case for the past year, but the tax commission
has not yet set a date for such trial. Of course the city
has received the taxes on this property under protest and
there is no very great harm in the delay attending the trial
of the case. However, if it should prove that the assessors
overvalued the property, to the rebate will be added six
per cent interest for quite a period, and the detriment to
the city comes in having to pay six per cent for money which
it could borrow for four per cent or less. It is not a very
serious matter, however.
In addition to the foregoing, the usual routine business
has been attended to, and I am now representing the city
before committees of the legislature on matters of con-
siderable importance to municipalities in general. These
have to do with trust funds and water-works.
Respectfully submitted,
ALEXANDER MURCHIE,
Solicitor.

No record has been kept of numerous conferences (almost
daily) between the sanitary officer and the city physician.
It is believed that these conferences have been mutually
helpful and that, as a consequence, the community has been
more promptly and efficiently served in the numerous
emergencies that have arisen requiring co-operation be-
tween these officials.

REPORT OF THE CEMETERY COMMIS-
SIONERS.
To the Mayor and Board of Aldermen:
The amounts placed at our disposal have been prudently
used in the care of the cemeteries, as but little new work has
been done.
The only new work at Blossom Hill Cemetery has been
the beginning of a water-course for draining a section at the
northwest part of the cemetery, also to take care of the
large flow of water in the spring time. The cemetery has
been in fine condition for the entire season.
The burials in Blossom Hill Cemetery have been 168.
The Chapel has been used 17 times. The burials in "The
Old North Cemetery" have been 11. The Old North and
Minot Cemeteries have been in excellent condition as far
as the funds at our disposal would allow. The fence is still
in a deplorable condition, because of its being so decayed.
Whatever appropriations may be made for the coming
year will be most carefully used for the care and improve-
ment of the cemeteries.
For the detailed account of the expenditures, would refer
you to the City Treasurer's report.

REPORT OF JOHN KIMBALL PLAY-
GROUND.
To the Board of Aldermen:
The committee respectfully submits the following report
for the year 1916:
The year's work has been carried on in much the same
manner as last year, and with equally good results. The
girls' department was again in charge of Miss Charlotte
White, and her work has once more proved her ability as a
playground instructor. The enthusiasm displayed by over
one hundred girls not only in the games, but in the various
handicrafts, the steadily increasing attendance during the
summer, the friendly spirit of the girls and their general
helpfulness, all testify to the good work of the playground.
The Victrola has not only helped in the folk dances, but
the beautiful records, donated by a generous friend of the
playground, has been a source of pleasure to many. The
playground needs more care during the hours when it is not
used by the children. Mr. Harold Fraser proved an efficient
and trusty caretaker during the hours when he was em-
ployed, but the late evening visitors are far from careful
of the playground property. Some arrangement ought to
be made so that the playground could be under supervision
at all hours.
The closing exercises were very interesting and gave
evidence of good work both in Miss White's and Mr.
Fraser's department. It is very gratifying that the John
Kimball Playground can furnish so many young people
who are physically strong. Those who watched the races
of that day realize that both boys and girls were profiting
by the training.
The doll, dressed by the girls, was given to the New
Hampshire Memorial Hospital. The tennis courts will be
ready for use the first of next summer and it is hoped that
it will prove a pleasure to the older boys and girls.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE
SOUTH END PLAYGROUND.
To the Mayor and Board of Aldermen:
This committee respectfully submits the following report
for the year 1916:
Early in the season the baseball grounds, tennis and
croquet courts received the necessary repairs to put them
in good condition for the' summer.
Three large benches and fifteen small stools were pur-
chased which added greatly to the comfort of the instructor
and children in their class work.
A building in which to store the equipment was also
purchased this season as its need had been greatly felt by
both players and workers. Our appropriation was not
quite sufficient to cover the entire cost of this purchase but
arrangements were made to pay the balance due from our
1917 appropriation. ,
In addition to the usual gardens for the smaller children
twenty large ones were laid out and assigned to the older
boys and girls with very good results.
A caretaker for the grounds was engaged for the season,
devoting a part of each day with the exception of Sundays.
Miss Marion Shepard began her work as instructor June
15 and continued through September 2. Mr. J. S. Stevens
and Mr. Louis Reycroft instructed the boys.
The average daily attendance of girls and boys was fifty-
eight. This does not include those present on July 4 and
on Field Day, when the attendance was more than doubled.
Tennis, croquet and volley ball were the most popular
sports and the tests given by the American Playground
Association were tried out the latter part of the season.
The exhibition on Field Day included embroidery, bas-
ketry, paper flower work, and a fine display of vegetables
from the gardens. The usual prizes for. the season's work
and for the sports were awarded at this time.

REPORT OF THE PUBLIC BATH.
Concord, N. H., February 18, 1917.
To His Honor, the Mayor, and the Board of Aldermen:
The season of 1916 which has just closed was one of the
most successful ever enjoyed at the public bath. This is
shown by the larger attendance and the increased interest
shown by both men and women. It was also a source of
great pleasure to the soldiers who made use of the public
bath daily.
The daily attendance was about the average and during
the warm weather, it was doubled, due to the interest
shown by the soldiers. The women bathers are showing
an increased interest which compares favorably with the
work carried on by other cities.
The annual water carnival was run off on the closing
days for the boys and girls. Much interest was shown in
the carnival. The prizes for the different events were con-
tributed by the merchants of the city.
Record of Attendance:
Total number of boys and girls, 18,500
Average daily attendance, girls, 125
Average daily attendance, boys, 250
Largest number of girls present on any one day, 198
Largest number of men and boys (soldiers), 700
Number of boys saved from probable drowning, 4
(Cause in each case, going beyond depth.)
Number of boys who have learned to swim, 62
Number of girls who have learned to swim, 38
Recommendations.
1. Lockers should be placed in the bath house. At the
present time the facilities are very poor for the women.
2. Appropriation should be increased.

JEREMIAH T. REARDON,

ASSESSORS' REPORT.
To the Taxpayers of the City of Concord:
The board of assessors submit to your consideration the
following facts and figures showing the valuation of the
city and its school districts and special precincts, with
the amount of taxes raised in each and returned to the
tax collector for collection.
The appeal of the Boston & Maine Railroad from the
taxation of materials which were to be used in the shops in
this city (the shops being taxed and not included in the
matter of appeal) was decided adversely to the city. The
contention of the railroad is that neither the City of Concord
nor the State of New Hampshire should tax the materials,
and the matter is now before the supreme court in an action
brought by Attorney-General James P. Tuttle as to whether
said materials shall be taxed by the State Tax Commission.
The supreme court of Massachusetts in a case embodying
the same facts as the case of taxation of the funds held by
the trustees of the estate of Mary Baker G. Eddy ruled that
the domicile of the testator governed as to where the prop-
erty should be taxed, and the funds were all taxed in this
city for 1916. As they consist largely of taxable bonds,
the amount will necessarily vary each year as the trustees
convert them into non-taxable securities as rapidly as
possible.
In the following report is a table of the amount raised for
the years from 1906 to the present time which shows the
increased amount spent by the city and the reason for an
increased tax.

REPORT OF THE MUNICIPAL COURT.
To His Honor, The Mayor, and The Board of Aldermen:
I am transmitting herewith a statement of the receipts
and expenditures of the Municipal Court for the year ending
December 31, 1916, the same being prepared and submitted
by Allan H. Robinson, clerk of the court. It has been
deemed advisable to incorporate in this report only a
general statement of the receipts and expenditures, monthly
statements having been filed with the city clerk at whose
office they may be seen by any interested citizen.
Disposition of Fines.
At the time the last report of this court was submitted
there was pending in the superior court. of the state a friendly
suit brought by the attorney-general against the clerk and
justice of this court to determine the disposition of fines
for the violation of certain special statutes, the act creating
the municipal court having left the matter in doubt. This
case has finally been decided and the funds have been paid
to the proper parties.
At the time of the last report fines received in the follow-
ing cases for violation of the motor vehicle law had been
withheld pending this decision:—
State v.Cass, $100.00
State v. Lambert, 100.00
State v. Saben, 100.00
State v. Inger soil, 100.00
Slate v. Dickey, 5 . 00
State v. Diversi, 10.00
Total, $415.00
MUNICIPAL COURT. 353
During the past year the following fines for violation of
the motor vehicle law were withheld:

State v. Jubenville, 100.00
State v. Scott, 10.00
State v. Robinson, 100 . 00
State v. Morrison, 10 . 00
State v. White, 10.00
State v. Mcintosh, 10.00
State v. Lemay, 10.00
State v. Johnson, 10 . 00
State v. Dtm's, 10 . 00
State v. Moorhouse, 10.00
State v. ^ate, 10 . 00
State Y.Boyle, 100.00
State v. Cullen, 10.00
Total, $410.00
Under the decision of the court the above fines, amount-
ing to $825, have been paid to the State Motor Vehicle
Department.
At the time of the last report the fine in State v. Lassond
for failure to send a child to school, and that in State v.
Coburn, for violation of the pure food laws had been with-
held. Under the decision of the court the former has been
paid to the Union School District, and the latter to the
state treasurer.
During the past year the fine in State v. Weeks for failing
to make a birth return in the town of Hooksett, and in
State v. Boulay for cruelty to animals in a case brought by
the agent of the Concord S. P. C. A., were withheld. The
former has been paid to the town of Hooksett, and the
latter to Harry H. Dudley, treasurer of the organization
represented by the complainant.

Non-Support.
The court has continued to dispose of non-support cases,
in some cases, by ordering the respondents to pay into
court the whole or a part of their wages, and these sums
have been expended under the direction of the court for the
care of the families of the respondents. In some cases
the money has been handled by persons appointed by the
court for that purpose. The following is a statement of
the cash which has actually passed through this court in
these matters:

WEST CONCORD SEWER PRECINCT SINKING FUND.
The city ordinance establishing the West Concord sewer precinct and authorizing
loans on the credit of the city to construct the system, also created a sinking fund the
conditions of which have already been fulfilled. There is still outstanding two bonds of
$500 each and one of $300. One of the $500 bonds matures each year until 1919,
when the $300 bond is payable. The presumption is that these bonds will be paid each
year from taxes assessed upon the property of the precinct.

BLOSSOM HILL CEMETERY RECEIPTS.
One half of the receipts for the sale of lots is added annually to the permanent fund.
The remaining half, with the amount received for grading of lots sold, together with the
amounts received from sundry collections and income of permanent fund, are added
each year to the annual appropriation. The amounts expended on trust funds are
paid on a special order from the mayor from the income of individual deposits made with
the city for that purpose, said income being used exclusively for the care of the lot
specified in each trust.
