REPORT  OF  THE  SELECTMEN. 


Fellow  Citizens: 

Our  town  has  added  another  year  to  its  history,  and 
the  time  has  come  for  the  annually  expected  report.  In 
making  this,  so  far  as  our  Board  is  concerned,  we  propose 
not  only  to  glance  at  our  doings  for  the  year  of  our  ser- 
vice as  your  selectmen,  but  also  to  take  a  brief  retrospec- 
tive and  prospective  view  of  our  town's  condition. 

DEATHS. 

The  hand  of  death  has  been  laid  upon  three  men  con- 
nected with  our  town's  official  affairs  during  the  year. 
Almost  in  the  moment  of  his  re-election,  Benj.  C.  Yose, 
a  valued  member  of  the  School  Board,  and  a  most  es- 
teemed and  useful  citizen,  was  stricken  with  a  mortal 
disease.  And  quite  recently  Joel  F.  Goodwin  has  de- 
parted from  amongst  us — a  man  appreciated  by  his  associ- 
ates;  for  many  years  one  of  the  town  assessors,  and  of 
late  one  of  the  overseers  of  the  poor,  and  janitor  of  the 
town  offices,  in  which  last  position  he  was  brought  into 
so  intimate  relations  with  our  Board  that  his  loss  was 
keenly  felt  by  us.  But  as  a  Board,  we  have  most  deeply 
sympathized  with  the  sorrow  which  was  generally  felt  by 
our  community  at  the  death  of  our  associate  member, 
Daniel  Sawyer,  Avhose  sickness  and  decease  followed  so 
closely  upon  his  election  to  office  as  to  deprive  us  almost 
entirely  of  the  benefit  we  should  otherwise  have  experi- 
enced from  his  acknowledged  integrity  and  abilities.

POLICE. 

The  police  department  has  been  under  the  charge  of 
Charles  E.  Jenney,  whose  long  experience  here  and  in 
other  places  gave  good  assurance  of  his  fitness  which  has 
been  fully  realized  by  the  results.  The  force  was  reduced 
by  us  to  the  number  employed  in  1887  in  accordance  with 
the  necessity  imposed  by  the  diminished  appropriation 
of  this  year,  and  we  believe  that  the  security  and  property 
of  our  citizens  have  in  no  way  suffered,  but  have  been  as 
well  guarded  as  in  the  previous  year ;  while  there  has  been 
a  saving  of  -12,000  to  the  town.  For  a  detailed  report  of 
the  doings  of  this  department,  reference  may  be  made  to 
the  report  of  the  Chief  hereinafter  printed. 

GRAVEL    PIT. 

In  1888  the  town  voted  to  buy  a  gravel  pit  and  appro- 
priated $1,500  therefor.  This  not  having  been  done  by 
onr  predecessors,  we  have  purchased  a  pit  in  the  Fair- 
mount  district  for  $900. 

SUITS. 

No  suits  have  been  brought  against  the  town,  nor  any 
claims  likely  to  lead  to  litigation  presented  during  our 
term.  When  we  entered  upon  our  duties  we  found  seven 
cases  pending  against  the  town.  Of  these  six  have  been 
settled  at  a  total  cost  of  $ 772.93.  Two  of  these,  that  of 
C.  H.  Crumett  and  H.  B.  Miner  for  damage  to  land  on 
Bridge  St.,  and  that  of  H.  S.  Bunton,  trustee,  for  dam- 
age to  land  on  Perkins  avenue,  were  referred  to  arbitra- 
tion and  damages  of  $132.93  and  $150,  respectively, 
awarded. 

The  suit  brought  by  Harry  J.  Booth  for  personal  in- 
juries received  by  stepping  into  an  improperly  filled  hole 
on  Fairmount  avenue  opposite  the  Baptist  church  was 
compromised  for  #250. 


The  suit  of  Benj.  F.  Tyler  for  damages  to  team  caused 
by  his  horse  stepping  into  a  hole  on  Dell  avenue  has  been 
settled  for  $50. 

The  suit  of  Michael  Rogers  for  damage  caused  to 
his  mowing  land  by  felling  a  tree  thereon  and  by  tres- 
pass of  the  employees  of  the  town  has  been  adjusted  for 
#60. 

The  suit  of  Waldo  F.  Ward  for  damage  to  his  estate 
from  change  of  grade  on  Hyde  Park  avenue  has  been  set- 
tled for  $130.  The  town  is  also  liable  for  costs  on  the 
Crumett-Miner  and  Bun  ton,  trustee,  suits,  the  amount  of 
which  has  not  yet  been  determined. 

The  remaining  suit,  that  of  Win,  J.  Hayes  for  injuries 
received  from  a  low  hanging  telegraph  or  telephone  wire 
is  still  pending,  awaiting  further  investigation  by  the 
Counsel  for  the  town.  We  have  thought  it  interesting  to 
briefly  detail  the  nature  of  these  cases,  as  our  immediate 
predecessors,  though  alluding  to  the  suits,  wholly  omitted 
to  give  any  information  about  them. 

Of  the  amounts  agreed  upon  for  settlement,  but  $240 
has  been  paid,  being  all  which  our  incidental  appropria- 
tion could  allow  after  providing  for  other  legitimate 
demands  upon  it,  no  allowance  for  such  expenses  being 
possible  when  the  amount  of  the  incidental  appropriation 
was  fixed,  on  account  of  the  complete  absence  of  any 
information  at  that  time  concerning  the  character  of  these 
suits.  And  now,  while  speaking  of  that  appropriation, 
we  will  say  that  it  has  been  drawn  upon  to  the  amount 
of  1207.29  to  meet  bills  of  the  Board  of  Health,  the  appro- 
priation  for  which  proved  insufficient. 

It  is  gratifying  to  us  to  be  able  to  state  that  the  various 
appropriations  which  you  made  last  spring  for  our  use 
have  proved  ample  to  do  all  the  things  contemplated  by 
us  then,  and   it  is  particularly  gratifying  to  feel   that  we 


will    not    leave    any    unpaid    bills    as    a    legacy    to    our 
successors. 

WORK    ON    HTGHWAYS    AND    SIDEWALKS. 

The  amount  appropriated  for  highways  was  heavily 
drawn  upon  by  the  early  spring  rains  and  the  excessive 
rainfall  of  last  summer.  It  seemed  for  a  time  as  if  the 
money  spent  in  repairing  the  ravages  made  by  those 
floods  was  almost  thrown  away,  because  in  many  cases  we 
would  hardly  get  the  streets  in  repair  before  another 
washout  would  come  and  undo  all  our  work. 

We  regret  to  say  that  much  of  the  street  building  in 
past  years  has  been  done  in  such  a  way  that  when  heavy 
rains  come  large  quantities  of  water  are  drawn  into  chan- 
nels where  no  adequate  provision  has  been  made  to 
receive  and  dispose  of  it ;  consequently  we  shall  continue 
to  suffer  from  washouts  until  good  substantial  work 
is  done  at  the  proper  points,  of  a  character  to  relieve  our 
streets  from  being  torn  to  pieces  by  every  heavy  rain 
storm. 

We  think  it  was  the  purpose  of  the  citizens  when  we 
were  elected,  and  it  was  our  aim  to  have  all  new  work 
upon  our  streets  done  in  a  thoroughly  substantial  manner, 
and  as  indicative  of  the  mode  in  which  we  have  attempted 
to  carry  out  that  purpose  we  call  your  attention  with 
pleasure  to  the  work  done  through  the  centre  of  the 
town  from  the  N.  Y.  &  N.  E.  R.  R.  on  Fairmount  avenue 
to  the  point  where  River  street  crosses  Central  Park  ave- 
nue. We  believe  that  this  kind  of  work  should  be  con- 
tinued and  extended  year  by  year  until  every  part  of  our 
town  is  in  the  enjoyment  of  streets  built  in  the  same 
manner.  As  this  cannot  all  be  done  in  one  year,  we 
advise  that  from  one  to  two  miles  be  done  each  year,  and 
that  a  special  appropriation  of   say  -f  4,0 00  be  made  each 


9 

year  to  brush  up  the  other  streets  and  keep  them  in  fair 
condition,  as  we  have  tried  to  do  this  year  with  our  small 
appropriation . 

In  the  matter  of  sidewalks  we  thought  it  well  to  lay 
concrete  the  length  of  Everett  street,  in  view  of  additions 
and  improvements  made  in  and  around  the  High  School 
property  on  that  street,  for  the  benefit  of  the  scholars  and 
teachers  of  that  school  as  well  as  the  rest  of  the  neighbor- 
hood. The  sidewalks  on  Oak  and  Maple  streets,  on  Mt. 
Neponset,  have  also  been  concreted.  This  was  ordered 
to  be  done  and  mone}r  appropriated  therefor  by  the  town 
in  1888,  but  for  reasons  the  work  was  not  done,  and  we 
found  it  waiting  for  us  to  do  out  of  this  year's  appropria- 
tion. The  brick  walk  on  the  northerly  side  of  Oak  street 
we  began  to  replace  by  concrete  for  the  reason  that  the 
brick  was  so  soft  and  porous  as  to  readily  absorb  and  re- 
tain moisture,  which  in  time  of  cold  weather  caused  the 
surface  to  become  so  slippery  as  to  endanger  the  safety  of 
those  walking  upon  it,  and  thereby  make  the  town  liable 
to  suits  and  damages.  The  bricks  we  sold  for  $5  per 
1000.  We  have  also  commenced  to  utilize  the  curbstones 
placed  on  a  portion  of  Austin  street  last  year,  by  concret- 
ing the  enclosed  walk.  The  work  on  both  the  above- 
named  localities  was  interrupted  by  the  coming  of  cold 
weather,  and  being  uncompleted  is  not  paid  for ;  but 
there  is  enough  money  due  from  betterment  assessments 
to  fully  pay  for  all.  Eight  hundred  feet  of  plank  side- 
walks have  also  been  built  in  Readville. 

We  have  caused  curbstones  to  be  laid  along  the  side- 
walk on  West  River  street  from  a  point  known  as  the 
Bass  estate  to  and  turning  into  Glen  wood  avenue,  about 
400  feet  in  all.  This  walk  has  not  been  made  of  concrete 
but  of  a  layer  of  stones  covered  with  gravel,  and  we 
recommend  the  construction  of    more   walks  of  this  kind 


10 

as  it  is  much  less  costly  than  concrete,  and  in  many  places 
Avill  as  well  answer  the  purpose  as  concrete,  the  durability 
of  which  is  yet  to  be  proved. 

The  following  statement  shows  how  and  where  the 
Highway  and  Permanent  Improvement  appropriations 
have  been  expended.  In  the  early  Spring  immediately 
after  our  term  of  office  began,  we  gave  attention  to  the 
streets  looking  to  the  filling  up  all  the  soft  places  and 
making  general  repairs  all  over  the  town,  for  which  we 
expended  81,194.64.  As  soon  as  we  could  arrange  to  do 
it  we  divided  the  town  into  five  sections,  and  spent  upon 
these  respectively  for  general  repairs,  as  follows : 

Central  division, 

Hazelwood  and  Clarendon  Hills  division, 

Fairmount  division, 

Sunnyside  division, 

Readville  division, 

Bills  paid  for  Board  of  Health, 

Total,  $3,610  27 

In  these  divisions  we  expended  on  permanent  improve- 
ments the  following  amounts : 

Central  division,  macadamized  way  on  River  street 

and  Fairmount  avenue,  $3,415  08 

Incidental  cost  of  dovetailing  above  work  at 

termini  and  connections, 
Oak  and  Maple  streets  (concreting), 
Everett  street,  curb  and  concrete, 
Hazelwood  and  Clarendon  Hills  division,  work  on 

culvert  and  street  crossings, 
Fairmount  division,  on  sidewalks, 
Sunnyside  division,  West  River  street  near  Glenwood 

avenue, 
Preparing  for  concrete  on  Austin  street,

With  this  brief  statement  we  submit  our  care  of  the 
highways  to  your  praise  or  censure,  and  withhold  any 
advice  as  to  what  streets  and  what  work  should  receive 
especial  attention  the  coming  year.  We  do  this  because 
the  calls  are  so  numerous  and  urgent  from  all  parts  of  the 
town  that  we  are  unwilling  to  give  prominence  to  any  by 
our  recommendation. 

RETROSPECTIVE. 

When,  four  years  ago,  the  project  of  borrowing  $20,000 
yearly  for  permanent  improvements  was  suggested,  its 
adoption  was  greatly  aided  by  the  expectation  which  its 
advocates  entertained  that  a  very  considerable  part  of  the 
money  expended  for  sidewalk  improvements  would  be  re- 
covered into  the  treasury  in  the  way  of  assessments 
upon  abutters.  The  law  allows  such  assessments  to  be 
made  to  an  amount  not  exceeding  one  per  cent,  of  the 
assessors'  valuation  of  the  adjacent  property,  and  it  was 
believed  that,  if  the  sidewalks  were  located  with  good 
judgment,  such  assessment  would  repay  nearly,  if  not 
quite,  50  per  cent,  of  the  money  expended.  [n  other 
words,  the  abutters  would  repay  about  one-half  the  cost 
and  every  dollar  expended  from  the  permanent  improve- 
ment fund  on  sidewalks  would  procure  nearly  two  dollars' 
worth  of  work.  The  following  table  will  show  to  what 
extent  these  expectations  have  been  realized.

It  will  be  seen  by  the  foregoing  table  that  the  total 
amount  of  expenditure  on  sidewalks  in  the  four  years  has 
been  $35,894.70,  which  if  expended  where  the  adjacent 
estates  were  of  enough  value  would  have  brought  back 
into  our  treasury  from  betterment  assessments  $17,947.35. 
Whereas,  in  fact,  it  brought  only  $12,446.41  or  $5,500 
less  than  had  been  originally  counted  on.  Only  in  this 
year  just  past  has  the  ratio  of  assessment  to  the  cost  of 
construction  approximated  to  the  50  per  cent,  expected, 
being  a  trifle  over  44  per  cent.,  while  for  the  year  1888  it 
was  only  33  8-10  per  cent.;  1887,  32  per  cent.,  and  for 
1886,  35  1-10  per  cent.  This  is  the  result  of  building  ex- 
pensive sidewalks  in  many  cases  in  localities  where  the 
abutting  property  was  not  of  sufficient  value  for  the 
assessment  upon  it  to  pay  a  reasonable  percentage  of  the 
cost,  such  as  Williams  avenue  where  the  cost  was 
$1,625.56  and  the  assessment  only  $386.14  or  23  7-10  per 
cent.;  Beacon  street  where  the  cost  was  $1,761.55,  and 
the  assessment  $501.97  or  28  1-2  per  cent.;  Perkins 
avenue  where  the  cost  was  $638.45  and  the  assessment 
$190,  or  30  per  cent.;  Business  street,  where  the  cost 
was  $2,137.98  and  the  assessment  $655.32  or  30  6-10 
per  cent. 

Indeed,  had  it  not  been  for  such  localities  as  Oak 
street,  Maple  street,  Webster  street  and  portions  of  River 
street  and  Gordon  avenue  and  the  like,  where  the  assessed 
property  paid  from  45  to  50  per  cent,  of  the  cost,  the  per- 
centage for  the  four  years  would  have  fallen  considerably 
below  its  present  poor  average  of  34  7-10  per  cent. 

In  the  present  financial  condition  of  the  town  that 
policy  is  at  least  questionable  which  looks  to  expending 
so  much  money  on  streets  which  cannot  or  do  not  give 
greater  returns  for  the  outlay.  We  believe  that  there  are 
many  localities  yet  unprovided  with  sidewalks  where    the 


14 

residents  would  cheerfully  consent  to  pay  50  per  cent,  of 
the  cost  of  concrete  irrespective  of  the  assessed  valuation, 
and  such  should  be  the  places  where  such  walks  should 
be  made.  Where  the  value  of  the  property  or  the  dispo- 
sition of  the  residents  is  such  that  a  fair  proportion  of 
the  cost  of  concrete  cannot  be  recovered,  then  the  side- 
walks should  be  constructed  in  such  a  manner  and  of  such 
material  that  an  assessment  of  one  per  cent,  on  the  value 
of  the  adjacent  property  will  at  least  approximate  to  50 
per  cent,  of  their  cost.  And  this  is  equitable,  for  the  more 
valuable  property  not  only  pays  one-half  the  cost  of  its 
sidewalks  but  by  reason  of  its  higher  value  has  paid  or  will 
pay  a  larger  portion  of  the  net  cost  of  all  the    sidewalks. 

Moreover,  it  seems  to  us  that  our  municipal  corporation 
should  be  governed  by  the  same  considerations  which 
control  the  acts  of  other  corporations  and  individuals, 
should  profit  by  the  lessons  which  the  past  teaches,  and 
should  promptly  rectify  mistakes  and  .  discard  errors 
which  are  plainly  shown  by  its  costly  experience.  We 
may  add  that  Newton  and  other  like  places  put  in  no 
such  sidewalks  as  ours  except  when  the  abutters  agree 
to  pay  50  per  cent,  of  their  cost.  Looking  back  again 
over  the  last  four  years,  we  find  that  there  was  ex- 
pended for  streets  and  sidewalks  in  1886,  132,272.04; 
in  1887,  $26,361.89.;  in  1888, -$44,590.34;  and  in  1889, 
including  $ 261.55  for  work  done  last  year,  $12,254.91;  or 
in  the  aggregate  -$115,479.18. 

Deducting  from  this  the  total  above  shown  as  expended 
on  sidewalks,  $35,894.70,  there  is  left  $79,584.48  as  the 
amount  spent  in  the  four  years  on  the  roadways  alone, 
enough  to  construct  about  nine  miles  of  such  a  road  as 
we  have  this  year  built  through  the  centre  of  the  town  on 
portions  of  River  street  and  Fairmount  avenue;  a  street 
which,  it  is  safe  to    say,  has    some     durability    and     will 


15 

probably  need  no  repair  during  such  time  as  will  be  re- 
quired to  construct  in  the  same  manner  the  other  important 
avenues  of  travel  in  our  town,  if  we  adopt  the  policy 
of  making  such  streets  instead  of  carting  mud  and  fine 
sand  upon  our  ways  to  be  washed  off  by  the  first  rain 
storm,  as  has  been  done  in  the  past.  We  may  be  pardoned 
for  calling  especial  attention  to  the  fact  that  while  nearly 
#45,000  were  used  up  last  year  on  our  sidewalks  and  high- 
ways we  have  this  year  carried  the  same  through  on  about 
$12,000,  including  all  that  we  have  received  from  better- 
ments. 

The  town  has  in  the  last  four  years  expended 
•1486,347.04,  made  up  of  $420,347.04  raised  by  taxation 
and  $66,000  borrowed.  This  year  the  tax  levy  was 
$118,000  and  $6,000  has  been  borrowed,  making  the 
amount  for  expenditure  $124,000.  If  there  be  deducted 
from  this  the  amount  used  for  payment  of  debt  and 
interest,  $18,780,  for  deficiencies  of  last  year,  $2,800, 
and  for  money  spent  last  year,  $9,665.11,  or  in  all, 
$31,245.11,  there  is  left  the  sum  of  $92,754.89  as  the 
actual  cost  of  the  various  departments  of  the  town  gov- 
ernment, which  at  the  valuation  of  last  year  would  require 
a  tax  of  $13.50  on  $1,000.  When  we  consider  that  with 
this  equivalent  of  a  tax  rate  of  $13.50  we  have  been  able 
to  expend  $12,000  on  streets  and  sidewalks,  make  a  sub- 
stantial addition  to  our  High  School  building,  purchase  a 
stone-crusher  with  all  its  necessary  equipments,  and  every 
portion  of  our  town  government  has  cared  well  for  all  the 
trusts  confided  to  it,  we  find  ample  ground  for  taking  a 
bright  view  of  the  financial  condition  of  our  town  in  the 
future,  if  a  judicious  policy  is  steadily  maintained.  And 
this  is  not  difficult  to  do.  Let  us  look  at  our  town 
debt  and  the  future  payments  to  be  made  on  it,  which 
are — 


16 


In  1890,  principal  and  interest,  $  19, 740; 


1891, 

1892, 
1893, 
1894, 
1895, 
1896, 
1897, 
1898, 


19,440; 
19,140; 
18,840; 
18,540; 
17,740; 

6,4&0; 

4,240; 

2,080. 


Thus  we  see  that  in  1895  the  last  heavy  payment  on 
account  of  debt  will  be  made  ;  that  then  this  debt,  which 
now  hang-s  like  a  mill-stone  around  our  necks  and  adds 
nearly  $20,000  to  our  yearly  taxes,  will  be  practically 
paid  off.  Such  being  the  case,  it  seems  that  we  have  only 
to  stand  sturdily  for  a  conservative,  business-like  policy 
for  our  town  to  reap  substantial  rewards  in  the  near 
future.  We  should  bear,  with  whatever  patience  we  can, 
for  the  next  few  years  taxes  to  the  amount  which  we  are 
now  paying,  that  we  may  keep  our  town  abreast  with  the 
private  spirit  and  enterprise  which  is  so  rapidly  building 
it  up  and  carefully  avoid  doing  anything  from  a  mistaken 
economy  which  will  tend  to  retard  in  the  slightest  degree 
any  enterprise  calculated  to  make  our  town  attractive  to 
its  citizens  and  to  those  who  may  come  this  way  with  a 
view  to  settling  amongst  us.  We  think  such  a  policy  can 
be  carried  out  with  a  tax  rate  of  from  $15  to  $16  per 
$1,000  till  our  debt  is  substantially  paid  in  1895,  after 
which  we  ought  to  be  able  on  a  tax  rate  of  $13  to  $14 
per  $1,000  to  conduct  our  town  affairs  in  a  very  liberal 
manner. 

Such  a  rate  will  not  be  large  enough  to  debar  or  dis- 
courage capital  from  seeking  a  home  among  us,  and  this 
view  of  the  future  rate  is  very  conservative.  If  we  were 
disposed  to  indulge  in  a  speculative  view  we  should  say 
that  the  probable  increase  of  property  will  by  that  time 


17 

increase  our  valuation  so  that  $12  per  $1,000  will  provide 
amply  for  all  our  needs.  We  present  these  thoughts  to 
you,  fellow-citizens,  hoping  that  they  will  invite  your 
careful  consideration,  and  lead  you  to  form  a  firm  resolu- 
tion to  favor  no  more  town  debt  till  its  present  indebted- 
ness is  all  cleared  off. 

APPROPRIATIONS    FOR    NEXT    YEAR. 

We  have  thought  that  it  would  be  a  help  to  you  in 
considering  the  appropriations  for  next  year  if  we  ex- 
pressed our  judgment  as  to  what  will  be  necessary,  assum- 
ing that  the  School  Committee  will  ask  for  the  same  as 
in  1889. 

We  therefore  present  the  following  columns,  one  show- 
ing the  appropriations  made  for  1889,  the  other  indicating 
what  seems  desirable  for  1890.

In  closing  tins  somewhat  extended  report,  for  which 
we  shall  offer  no  apology  as  we  have  devoted  it  neither 
to  magnifying  our  own  services  nor  vilifying  the  acts  or 
motives  of  others,  but  in  attempting  to  place  before  you 
certain  knowledge  which  our  official  position  has  given  us 
opportunity  to  acquire,  we  can  say  that  harmony  in 
every  particular  has  prevailed  in  our  Board  and  that  in 
all  that  has  been  done  by  us  the  individual  has  disappeared 
in  the  whole.  While,  in  the  early  part  of  our  term,  sec- 
tions of  our  highways  were  assigned  to  each  of  us  as  his 
especial  care,  we  have  never  fogotten  that  the  whole  of 
our  town  had  a  claim  upon  us.  It  should  be  gratifying 
to  everyone  to  be  selected  by  his  fellow-citizens  for  a  po- 
sition of  trust;  it  is  more  gratifying  to  the  conscientious 
official  to  know  that  his  labors  are  closely  watched  by 
those  whom  he  is  serving.  Apathy,  which  often  springs 
from  over-confidence,  is  more  disheartening  to  the  public- 
servant,  as  it  is  more  dangerous  to  the  public  weal,  than 
all  the  wiles  of  the  corner  or  saloon  politician,  for  it  de- 
prives him  of  that  strength  which  is  essential  to  the  best 
administration  of  office.

REPORT  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  HEALTH. 


The  duties  of  this  Board  appear  to  be  substantially  of 
the  same  character  each  year,  and  are,  for  the  most  part, 
denned  by  existing  laws.  We  have  attempted  to  perform 
these  duties  with  as  little  friction  and  inconvenience  to 
the  public  as  possible,  and  yet  with  a  due  regard  to  the 
preservation  of  the  public  health. 

There  have  been  instances  of  the  usual  contagious  dis- 
eases in  the  town  during  the  year,  but  with  the  exception 
of  deaths  from  pneumonia  and  diphtheria,  the  mortality 
has  not  been  heavy  as  will  appear  from  the  following 
table  of  cases  reported  to  us.  For  the  year  ending  Janu- 
ary 31,  1890,  there  have  been  reported  to  the  Board  the 
following  cases  of  contagious  diseases : 

Diphtheria.,  42  cases  with  6  deaths. 

Scarlet  Fever,  4  "  "  0      " 

Typhoid  Fever,  10     "  "  2       " 

Membraneous  Croup,     1  case  "  1  death. 

"  1  death. 

with  1  death. 

"  1       " 

"  2  deaths.

for  the  year  1888. 

We  have  caused  placards  to  be  put  upon  all  houses  in 
which  were  such  cases  of  a  dangerous  character. 

On  account  of  the  unsanitary  condition  of  the  prem- 
ises  from   bad   water  and    defective    drainage    we    have 


Measles,

ordered  four  houses  to  be  vacated,  to  so  remain  until  their 
owners  should  make  such  changes  in  the  sanitary  arrange- 
ments as  should  meet  with  the  approval  of  our  Board.  We 
have  also  in  many  cases  discontinued  the  use  of  impure 
well  water  and  caused  the  houses  to  be  supplied  with 
aqueduct  water.  We  have  issued  ten  permits  for  the 
keeping  of  swine,  subject  to  the  rules  and  regulations  of 
our  Board. 

We  have  had  a  considerable  number  of  petitions  and 
applications  to  interfere  in  cases  of  wet,  spongy  and  mal- 
arious lands.  In  the  case  of  such  lands  near  the  O.  C. 
R.  R.  station  and  Green  street  we  caused  a  drain  to  be 
laid  from  the  above  station  to  Central  Park  avenue  in 
the  rear  of  Green  street,  connecting  with  Mr.  Bleakie's 
drain.  We  put  in  a  blind  drain  under  Green  street,  be- 
tween the  houses  owned  by  Messrs.  Fairbairn  and  Zim- 
mermann  to  connect  with  the  drain  of  the  O.  C.  R.  R. 
These  works  cost  $475.48,  and  we  adjudged  that  no  part 
of  expense  ought  to  be  borne  by  land  owners  or  abuttors. 

We  adjudged  that  the  low  land  lying  east  of  the  O.  C. 
R.  R.  station  and  owned  by  the  Real  Estate  and  Building- 
Co.  should  be  drained  and  filled  at  the  owners'  expense. 
It  has  been  drained  and  the  filling  begun. 

We  caused  "Dutch  Gap  Canal"  to  be  cleaned  out  at  a 
cost  to  the  town  of  $30. 

We  have  had  hearings  in  regard  to  the  bad  drainage 
of  Pierce  .street  and  vicinity,  and  in  regard  to  the  stag- 
nant pool  in  the  rear  of  the  premises  of  Gen.  Carrington 
on  East  River  street,  but  deferred  action  as  our  appropri- 
ation had  been  exhausted  b}^  the  work  above  described. 
These  places  should  receive  the  early  and  active  attention 
of  the  next  Board. 

The  question  of  the  disposal  of  swill  and  house  garbage 
has   been  one  which   has    given  us   considerable  trouble. 


21 

The  experiment  of  having  it  removed  for  its  value  by 
different  parties  had  been  tried  in  previous  years  and  had 
jjroved  unsatisfactory  to  all  concerned.  We  began  by 
having  the  swill  collected  and  removed  by  our  agent  at  a 
fixed  daily  compensation ;  this  to  be  sold  and  the  proceeds 
turned  over  to  the  Board.  But  there  were  continual  dis- 
putes arising  between  our  agent  and  the  various  purchasers 
as  to  the  value  and  amounts  taken,  and  the  net  receipts 
were  trifling. 

Learning  also  that  such  receipts  should  be  carried  into 
the  town  treasury  and  then  would  not  be  subject  to  our 
drafts,  we  thought  it  wise  to  let  one  hand  wash  the  other, 
as  far  as  possible,  and  finally  contracted  with  Mr.  Frank 
Hukin  to  gather  up  and  carry  away  the  swill  for  $2.50  per 
day  and  to  allow  on  his  bill  for  the  swill  at  the  rate  of 
■f>3  per  week. 

Under  this  arrangement  Mr.  Hukin  has  passed  to  the 
credit  of  the  town  $59,  and  we  have  turned  into  the 
treasury  $10  collected  for  swill  previously  sold.  We  un- 
derstand that  some  small  sums  collected  in  the  same  way 
were  expended  by  the  Chairman  of  the  Board  in  purchase 
of  disinfectants,  etc.,  which  were  not  reported  to  the  full 
Board.  Mr.  Dowries"  critical  condition  at  the  present 
time,  resulting  from  his  serious  illness,  makes  it  impossible 
for  us  to  get  particulars  from  him.* 

We  think  the  plan  at  last  settled  upon  about  the  swill 
a  good  one  for  the  town  and  satisfactory  to  citizens,  and 
recommend  them  to  put  on  another  team. 

From   this  year's   experience    we  think    that   a    larger 

*  Before  the  above  report  was  in  print —  on  Feb.  8th  —  Mr.  Downes 
succumbed  to  his  disease  and  passed  away.  He  had  been  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Board  of  Health  for  a  number  of  years,  and  his  associ- 
ates reposed  in  him  that  confidence  which  was  shown  by  the  public 
in  his  repeated  re-election.

appropriation  for  next  year  should  be  made  for  the  Board 
of  Health.  We  have  been  obliged  to  contract  bills  to  the 
amount  of  $680.83  in  excess  of  our  appropriation. 

These  we  have  approved  and  passed  to  the  selectmen 
to  be  paid  from  the  incidental  appropriation.  This  report 
will  show  how  many  have  been  paid  and  what  they  are 
for.  It  requires  a  considerable  sum  annually  to  pay  for 
the  printing  required  by  existing  laws  —  such  as  the  rules 
and  regulations,  reports  of  contagious  diseases,  notices, 
vaccination  blanks  and  others  —  to  which  was  added  this 
year  general  advertising  of  swill  regulations,  order  book, 
etc. 

It  is  gratifying  to  observe  that  the  jealousy  and  hos- 
tility toward  the  Board  of  Health,  which  once  existed, 
has  disappeared,  or  is  confined  to  a  few  individuals  ;  the 
public  has  learned  to  recognize  and  appreciate  the  useful- 
ness and  beneficence  of  acts  which  have,  for  their  sole 
aim,  the  protection  of  the  public  health.  The  following 
rules  and  regulations  were  adopted  for  the  current  year : 

Public  Statutes,  Chapter  80,  Section  IS. — The  Board  of  Health 
of  a  town  shall  make  such  regulations  as  it  judges  necessary  for  the 
public  health  and  safety,  respecting  nuisances,  sources  of  filth  and 
causes  of  sickness  within  its  town.  Whoever  violates  any  such  reg- 
ulations shall  forfeit  a  sum  not  exceeding  one  hundred  dollars. 

In  accordance  with  the  foregoing  provisions  of  law  this  Board 
makes  the  following  regulations,  which  will  be  strictly  enforced. 

Regulation  1. — -The  owner,  agent  or  occupant  having  the  care  of 
any  tenement  used  as  a  dwelling  house,  shall  furnish  the  same  with 
sufficient  drain,  under  ground,  to  carry  off  the  waste  water;  also 
with  a  suitable  privy  or  water  closet,  sufficient  for  the  accommoda- 
tion of  all  those  inhabiting  the  premises.  All  waste  pipes  from 
water  closets,  sinks,  bowls,  bath  and  other  set  tubs,  shall  be  suitably 
trapped,  and  all  drains  entering  cesspools  must  be  made  water  tight. 
There  should  also  be  a  trap  in  the  soil  pipe  between  the  house  and 
cesspool  and  provision  made  to  admit  air  into  said  pipe  between  the 
house  and  trap. 

Regulation  2. — All  privy  vaults  shall  be  so  constructed  that  the 
inside  of  the  same  shall  be  at  least  five  feet  distant  from  the  line  of 


23 

every  adjoining  lot  or  street  and  shall  be  provided  with  a  ventilation 
through  the  roof;  the  same  shall  not  be  used  as  cesspools  nor  receive 
drainage  from  the  premises;  their  contents  shall  not  be  allowed  to 
leak  out  or  otherwise  become  offensive. 

Regulation  3. — A.11  waste  water  shall  be  so  conveyed  through 
sufficient  drains  under  ground  to  a  reservoir  sunk  under  ground  as 
shall  be  approved  by  the  Board  of  He?dth.  No  person  shall  allow 
any  drain  or  the  overflow  of  any  cesspool  to  enter  any  running  stream, 
or  any  drain  constructed  for  surface  water,  and  no  person  shall  suffer 
any  house  drainage  or  other  offensive  water  to  remain  in  any  cellar, 
or  upon  any  lot  or  vacant  ground  by  such  person  owned  or  occupied. 
All  privy  vaults  and  cesspools  within  thirty  feet  of  any  well  or  spring, 
the  water  of  which  is  used  for  domestic  purposes,  must  be  water 
tight. 

Regulation  4. — The  Board  when  satisfied  upon  due  examination 
that  a  cellar,  room,  tenement  or  building  in  the  town  occupied  as  a 
dwelling  place,  has  become  by  reason  of  the  number  of  occupants, 
want  of  cleanliness  or  other  cause,  unfit  for  such  purpose,  and  a 
cause  of  nuisance  or  sickness  to  the  occupants  or  the  public,  may 
issue  a  notice  in  writing  to  such  occupants,  requiring  the  premises  to 
be  put  in  proper  condition,  or  if  the  Board  see  fit  they  may  require 
the  premises  to  be  vacated  and  the  same  shall  not  be  again  occupied 
without  the  written  permission  of  the  Board. 

Regulation  5. — No  person  shall  throw  or  put  into  any  public 
place  or  pond,  or  running  stream,  or  body  of  water,  or  in  any  other 
place  where  the  Board  of  Health  may  deem  it  a  nuisance,  any  dead 
animal,  animal  matter,  decayed  fruit  or  vegetables,  dirt  or  rubbish 
whatever;  nor  shall  any  person  throw  into  or  upon  any  flats  within 
the  jurisdiction  of  the  town,  any  dead  animals,  filth  or  offensive 
matter. 

Regulation  6. — No  person  shall  bring  into  the  town,  keep  or  offer 
for  sale  any  diseased,  putrid,  stale  or  unwholesome  meat,  vegetables 
or  provisions. 

Regulation  7. — Any  person  sick  with  the  small-pox  or  other  con- 
tagious disease,  together  with  all  persons  in  attendance  upon  them, 
will  be  subject  to  the  control  of  the  Board,  and  no  person  shall  enter 
or  leave  a  house  wherein  a  person  is  or  has  been  sick  with  the  dis- 
ease or  in  any  way  come  in  contact  with  the  inmates  of  such  house, 
except  by  permission  of  the  Board. 

Regulation  8. — All  persons  are  warned  not  to  approach  a  house 
or  the  surrounding  premises  whereupon  is  displayed  a  disease  flag 
by  day,  or  a  red  light  by  night. 

Regulation  9. — Whenever  the  Board  of  Health  shall  ascertain 
that  any  person  is   sick   with  small-pox.  scarlet  fever,  diphtheria,  or 


24 

any  other  disease  dangerous  to  the  public  health,  the  Board  shall 
at  their  discretion  have  full  control  of  said  person  or  premises  and 
shall  if  they  deem  proper  order  the  premises  vacated. 

Regulation  10. — The  bodies  of  all  persons  dying  of  small-pox,  scar- 
let fever,  typhus  fever  or  diphtheria,  must  be  immediately  disinfected, 
and  placed  in  a  tight  coffin,  which  shall  not  be  reopened.  In  the 
above  cases  no  public  funeral  will  be  allowed  without  permission 
from  the  Board  of  Health. 

Regulation  11. — The  following  cases  are  considered  contagious 
and  dangerous  to  the  public  health: — Small-pox,  Diphtheria,  Scarlet 
Fever,  Measles,  and  Typhoid  Fever. 

Public  Statutes,  Chapter  80,  Section  79. — When  a  physician 
knows  that  a  person  whom  he  is  called  to  visit  is  infected  with 
small-pox,  or  any  other  disease  dangerous  to  the  public  health,  he 
shall  immediately  give  notice  thereof  to  the  Board  of  Health  of 
the  town;  and  if  he  refuses  or  neglects  to  give  such  notice,  he 
shall  forfeit  for  each  offence  not  less  than  fifty  nor  more  than  one 
hundred  dollars. 

Regulation  12. — No  person  will  be  permitted  to  keep  any  swine 
within  the  limits  o  the  toAvn  of  Hyde  Park  without  a  written  per- 
mit from  the  Board  of  Health. 

Regulation  13. — No  person  shall  remove,  or  carry  in  or  through 
any  of  the  streets,  lanes  or  avenues,  places  or  alleys  within  the  town 
of  Hyde  Park,  the  contents  of  any  cesspool,  vault  or  privy  well,  swill 
or  house  off al, (either  animal  or  vegetable)  or  grease  or  bones,  unless 
a  permit  be  granted  by  the  Board  of  Health  upon  such  terms  and  con- 
ditions as  said  Board  may  deem  necessary. 

Regulation  14. — No  person  shall  bury  the  contents  of  any  cess- 
pool, vault,  privy  or  privy  well  within  the  limits  of  the  town  of  Hyde 
Park  unless  a  permit  be  granted   by  the  Board  of  Health. 

Regulation  15. —  Parties  will  be  licensed  by  the  Board  of  Health 
to  collect  swill  and  refuse  matter  from  houses  in  Hyde  Park  until 
Mayl,  1890. 

Public  Statutes,  Chapter  252. —  In  compliance  with  the  require- 
ments of  the  above  chapter  of  the  public  statutes,  the  Board  of 
Health  makes  the  following  regulation: 

Regulation  16. —  Any  person  in  the  town  of  Hyde  Park,  who 
knows  or  suspects  any  domestic  animal  has  contagious  disease  (such 
as  glanders  in  horses  or  cholera  in  swine)  must  immediately  report 
the  same  to  the  Board  of  Health.  The  penalty  for  neglect  to  do  so 
is  fine  or  imprisonment  which  will  be  strictly  enforced. 

Regulation  17. — All  complaints  in  relation  to  nuisances  and 
sources  of  filth,  injurious  to  the  public  health  and  safety,  must  be 
made  in  writing  to  the  Board  of  Health,  with  a  description  of  said 


25 

nuisance  and  of  the  premises  on  which  it  exists,  with  the  owner's 
name,  if  known  to  the  complainant.  Such  complaints  must  bear  the 
signature  of  the  complainant.  Whenever  such  complaint  shall  be 
made  as  aforesaid,  the  Board  of  Health  will  proceed  to  examine  the 
premises  complained  of,  and  will  take  measures  to  abate  the  nuisance, 
if  such  is  found  to  exist. 

Fully  believing  that  a  large  proportion  of  contagious  diseases  orig- 
inate from  unsanitary  conditions,  we  trust  we  shall  have  the  aid  of 
all  citizens  and  property  owners  in  carrying  ovit  the  above  regula- 
tions, which  are  based  on  statute  laws  and  the  sanitary  rules  of  other 
large  towns.

REPORT  OF  THE  OVERSEERS  OF  POOR. 


To  the  Citizens  of  Hyde  Park: 

For  the  first  time  since  the  inauguration  of  our  town  a 
majority  only  of  the  overseers  of  the  poor  append  their 
signatures  to  the  annual  report  of  the  department  under 
their  charge.  Our  late  associate,  Mr.  Joel  F.  Goodwin, 
was  first  elected  a  member  of  this  board  in  1874,  and 
since  then,  with  the  exception  of  two  years,  '76,  '77,  has 
served  continuously  until  removed  by  death.  Of  his  ex- 
cellent qualities,  both  of  judgment  and  kindness  of  heart, 
it  is  not,  perhaps,  for  us  to  speak.  Suffice  it  to  say,  that 
while  he  was  ever  mindful  that  he  must  be  just  before  he 
was  generous,  the  deserving  poor  found  in  him  a  kind 
friend,  and  at  the  same  time  he  jealously  guarded  the  in- 
terests of  the  town. 

During  the  past  year  there  has  been  no  great  business 
depression,  or  any  special  cause  for  destitution,  yet 
through  the  influences  of  misfortune,  attended  in  many 
cases  by  those  of  intemperance  with  its  far-reaching  evil 
results,  the  number  of  applicants  for  aid  is  largely  in  ex- 
cess of  that  of  many  years.  Under  the  present  laws,  with 
the  lapse  of  time,  the  increase  of  paupers  consequent  upon 
the  natural  growth  of  the  town  will  become  more  apparent. 

In  the  detailed  statement  hereto  appended  there  ap- 
pears an  item  which  may  need  some  explanation.  A 
large  part  of  "  temporary  aid "  should  be  charged  to 
"military  aid  "  which  does  not  properly  come  under  the 
direction  of  this  department.      As  there  was  no  special 


27 


appropriation  for  the  purpose,  the  amount  $255,  was 
drawn  from  the  poor  fund,  one-half  to  be  refunded  by  the 
state.  A  separate  appropriation  should  be  made,  as  is 
done  in  other  towns. 

We  acknowledge  the  receipt  of  -$5.00  from  Henry  B. 
Terry,  Esq.,  donated  by  some  unknown  friend  for  the 
purchase  of  Thanksgiving  dinners  for  the  deserving  poor.

REPORT  OF  TRUSTEES  OF  THE  PUBLIC 
LIBRARY. 


The  circulation  of  the  Library  during  the  past  year 
shows  a  very  slight  change  from  that  of  the  previous 
year,  while  the  number  of  books  and  magazines  used  in 
the  reading  room  has  greatly  increased,  owing  probably 
to  the  improvement  in  the  lighting  of  the  room. 

Since  the  issue  of  the  last  supplementary  catalogue, 
nearly  1,700  volumes  have  been  added,  making  it  desir- 
able to  print  a  new  supplement,  which  is  now  ready  for 
the  press.  It  has  also  made  it  necessary  to  procure  sever- 
al new  book  cases.  These  cases  occupy  all  the  space 
available  for  that  purpose  in  our  present  quarters,  and  in 
the  near  future  the  further  growth  of  the  Library  will  de- 
mand increased  accommodations. 

In  this  connection  it  may  be  well  to  call  the  attention 
of  the  town  to  the  fact  that  it  is  possible  to  furnish  the 
library  and  reading  room  with  such  accommodations  as 
are  desirable  with  little  or  no  increase  in  the  annual  ex- 
pense. The  town  already  pays  as  rent  for  the  rooms  now 
used  the  interest  on  '$10,000;  the  trustees  have  a  fund  of 
over  $5,000  available  for  this  purpose.  The  two  sums 
would  erect  a  building  which  would  not  only  supply  all 
the  room  needed,  but  at  the  same  time  by  its  external 
beauty,  be  a  source  of  pride  and  gratification  to  all  our 
citizens. 

The  proportion  of  fiction  added  during  the  present 
year  has  been  somewhat  less  than  in  previous  years,  and 
the  trustees  would  call  especial  attention  to  the  works  on 


31 

American  Biography,  Natural  History  and  Geography; 
and  to  the  French  and  German  books  which  have  been 
recently  received.  The  aim  of  the  Board  in  the  purchase 
of  books  has  been,  so  far  as  possible,  to  furnish  instruction 
to  the  readers,  and,  at  the  very  least,  harmless  recreation. 
If  in  spite  of  their  care  any  books  of  doubtful  character 
find  their  way  into  the  Library,  the  Trustees  will  be  glad 
to  have  their  attention  called  to  such  books,  that  they  may 
be  withdrawn  from  circulation. 

A  blank  book  for  queries  and  answers  was  placed 
on  the  Librarian's  desk  some  time  since,  but  its 
use  thus  far  has  not  been  very  extensive.  It  is  hoped, 
however,  that  when  its  advantages  are  better  understood, 
it  will  serve  as  the  vehicle  of  much  useful  information. 

By  virtue  of  a  recent  statute  of  the  Commonwealth, 
the  Town  Treasurer  becomes  ex-ofricio  the  treasurer  of 
the  Library  Board.  This  will  account  for  the  fact  that 
Mr.  Gridley,  who  has  served  the  Board  so  long  and  so 
acceptably  in  this  capacity,  is  no  longer  its  treasurer. 

An  unusually  large  number  of  books  have  been  given 
to  the  library  as  will  appear  by  the  following  list. 

Washington,  18  volumes. 

Washington,  13  pamphlets. 

Commonwealth  of  Mass.,  5  volumes. 

City  of  Boston,  1  volume. 

Mrs.  E.  H.  Webster,  1  volume. 

William  Ganzhorn,  14  volumes. 

Hubert  Stone,  11  volumes. 

F.  B.  Webster,  1  volume. 

Andrew  Washburn,  U.  S.  Census  Report, 

26  volumes. 
For  the  Trustees, 

HENRY    B.    MINER,    Chairman.

ENGINEERS'   REPORT. 


To  the  Honorable  Board  op  Selectmen: 

Gentlemen  :  We  herewith  present  to  you  our  annual 
report  for  the  year  ending  January  31st,  1890,  together 
with  the  reeorcl  of  fires  and  losses.  Some  changes 
have  been  made  by  us  which  we  feel  are  for  the  better. 
Soon  after  our  appointment  we  issued  orders  that  on 
first  alarms  of  fire  only  one  Hose  Company,  Chemical, 
and  Hook  &  Ladder  should  respond  and  other  com- 
panies to  remain  at  quarters  twenty  minutes  for  a 
second  alarm,  instead  of  running  all  companies  as  before, 
the  two  Hose  companies  at  Engine  house  to  alternate 
monthly  on  first  alarms.  Electric  lights  have  been  put 
in  the  Engine  house  and  are  so  arranged  that  the  whole 
lower  floor  can  be  lighted  the  moment  an  alarm  sounds, 
being  much  quicker  than  the  old  method  and  doing  away 
with  oil  lamps.  In  fact  everything  has  been  done  to 
facilitate  the  getting  of  apparatus  to  fires  as  quickly  as 
possible.  The  need  of  a  better  alarm  was  brought  to  our 
attention  and  we  finally  decided  to  purchase  a  Crosby 
Steam  Fire  alarm  whistle  which  by  permission  of  the 
Electric  Light  and  Power  Co.  we  placed  on  their  Build- 
ing, they  agreeing  to  blow  the  same  for  fires. 

We  have  inspected  the  hose  now  in  use  and  find  that 
there  should  be  at  least  a  thousand  dollars  spent  for  new 
hose  as  soon  as  practicable,  as  about  2000  feet  now  in 
use  is  over  eight  years  old  and  is  fast  going  out  of  use 
through  age,  which  leaves  us  with  about  1700  feet  that 
is  good  and  dependable.

HYDRANTS. 

This  branch  of  our  Fire  Department  requires  prompt 
action,  we  think,  with  a  view  to  giving-  to  the  property 
created  here  in  the  last  few  years  that  protection  which 
suitable  hydrant  service  alone  can  give. 

When  the  water  works  were  constructed  five  years  ago 
and  when  the  town  contracted  for  100  hydrants  the  whole 
scope  of  the  water  system  as  then  contemplated  was  on  14 
miles  of  mains  and  those  100  hydrants  were  placed  there- 
on. But  our  town  has  grown  since  then  and  the  water 
works  have  kept  pace  with  this  growth  until  there  are 
now  24  miles  of  mains,  the  10  miles  additional  having 
scarcely  a  hydrant  upon  them.  We  earnestly  recommend 
to  the  town  to  take  immediate  measures  to  have  from  50 
to  60  more  hydrants,  provided  a  contract  can  be  made  for 
the  same,  as  will  not  materially  increase  the  present  cost 
of  our  hydrant  service. 

An  ample  hydrant  service  will  frequently  remove  the 
necessity  of  long  lines  of  hose  and  will  thus  save  much 
expense  in  wear  and  tear  of  same,  and,  moreover,  the 
shorter  the  lines  of  hose  the  more  quickly  can  streams  of 
water  be  put  upon  a  fire  and  the  more  effective  will  those 
streams  be. 

FIRE    ALARM. 

This  branch  of  our  department  we  found  in  need  of  some 
attention  and  at  request  of  Mr.  Hawley,  steward  of  en- 
gine house,  who  has  had  the  management  of  this  branch, 
he  was  furnished  with  the  necessary  tools  at  a  very  small 
expense,  and  during  the  year  has  made  many  improve- 
ments in  the  same,  saving  the  town  considerable  expense 
of  hiring  Boston  parties  as  heretofore.  The  line  has 
been  put  into  two  circuits  so  that  in  case  of  an  accident 
on  the  line  a  part  of  it  remains  in  use,  instead  of  rendering 
the  whole  line  useless  until  repaired  as  before,  and  here 


36 

we  will  say  that  the  fire  alarm  has  become  a  very  impor- 
tant factor  in  the  fire  department,  enabling  us  to  get 
alarms  as  soon  as  fires  are  discovered  and  saving-  a  good 
deal  of  valuable  time.  We  earnestly  recommend  the  pur- 
chase of  eight  more  alarm  boxes  in  order  to  give  the 
same  protection  to  portions  of  our  town  that  are  enjoyed 
by  those  that  have  them.  We  have  now  about  14  miles 
of  wire  on  two  circuits  and  10  fire  alarm  boxes,  two  15 
inch  tapper  gongs,  one  at  engine  house  and  one  at  elec- 
trict  light  station,  one  tower  striker  on  M.  E.  church  bell, 
one  tapper  at  Corson's  stable,  also,  tappers  at  houses  of 
Chief  Hilton  and  Assistant  Engineer  Sweet,  also,  in 
houses  of  four  members  of  department,  at  Balkam's  lum- 
ber yard  a  tapper  and  button,  the  current  being  furnished 
from  a  56  cell  battery  located  in  basement  of  engine  house 
and  under  care  of  E.  A.  Hawley,  steward  of  engine  house. 
The  fire  alarm  is  now  in  good  order  and  with  the  same 
care  and  attention  it  has  had  during  the  past  year,  we  be- 
lieve it  will  do  all  that  is  claimed  for  it.  We  would  urge 
the  town  to  extend  the  system  so  as  to  give  all  parts  of 
our  town  the  protection  a  good  fire  alarm  affords.  The 
town  has  been  very  fortunate  in  having  but  few  fires  as 
the  following  list  of  alarms  will  show.

REPORT  OF  THE  SCHOOL  COMMITTEE. 


To  the  Citizens  of  Hyde  Park: 

The  committee  having  charge  of  the  public  schools 
would  respectfully  submit  the  following  report  touching 
the  matters  placed  in  their  charge  by  your  confidence 
under  the  laws  of  the  Commonwealth. 

ORGANIZATION    OF    THE    COMMITTEE. 

The  committee  was  called  together  shortly  after  the 
March  election  and  organized  by  choice  of  Charles  G. 
Chick,  chairman,  and  Richard  M.  Johnson,  secretary.  The 
rules  and  regulations  of  the  previous  board  were  then 
adopted  and  sub-committees  appointed  by  the  chairman 
and  approved  by  the  committee  as  required  by  the  rules. 

SUB-COMMITTEES. 

High  School,  B.  C.  Vose,  Edmund  Davis,  A.  Washburn. 
Grew  School,  Edmund  Davis,  Louise  M.  Wood. 
Fairmount  School,  A.  Washburn,  R.  M.  Johnson. 
Greenwood  School,  R.  M.  Johnson,  C.  G.  Chick. 
Damon  School,  C.  G.  Chick,  B.  C.  Yose. 
Butler  School,  Louise  M.  Wood. 
Evening  Schools,  Edmund  Davis,  B.  C.  Yose. 
Industrial  School,  A.  Washburn,  Louise  M.  Wood. 

At  the  time  of  organization  Mr.  Vose  was  unable  to 
be  present  by  reason  of  the  sickness  which  soon  termi- 
nated fatally.  The  committee  upon  receiving  news  of  his 
death  held  a  special  meeting,  delegated  the  chairman  and 
secretary  to  attend  the  funeral  services,  and  appointed 
Mr.  Davis  and  Mrs.  Wood  a  committee  to  prepare    and 


present  resolutions.  This  committee  submitted  the  fol- 
lowing, which  were  adopted  by  a  unanimous  vote  of 
the  board  and  entered  upon  our  records. 

"  Resolved,  That  we  mourn  with  deep  sorrow  the  death  of  Benj. 
C.  Vose,  a  valued  member  of  this  hoard. 

Resolved,  That  his  large  experience  as  a  successful  teacher  in 
former  years,  his  keen  insight  into  and  intelligent  appreciation  of 
the  needs  of  our  schools,  and  his  sound  judgment  made  him  a  wise 
and  safe  counsellor  in  all  matters  which  came  up  for  deliberation  in 
the  board. 

Resolved,  That  we  recall  with  pride  and  gratitude  his  fearlessness 
in  the  discharge  of  duty,  his  careful  and  painstaking  labors  in  what- 
ever was  assigned  him  to  do,  his  readiness  to  analyze  and  weigh  the 
merits  of  any  subject  under  discussion,  and  the  manliness  and  cour- 
age with  which  he  maintained  his  convictions  at  all  times  and  at 
whatever  cost. 

Resolved,  That  in  his  death  we  lose  a  genial  and  pleasant  associate, 
a  steadfast  friend,  an  able  and  earnest  worker  in  the  cause  of  educa- 
tion, a  public  spirited  citizen  and  an  honest,  pure-minded  man. 

Resolved,  That  with  this  realizing  sense  of  our  own  loss  we  can 
and  do  most  deeply  and  tenderly  sympathize  witli  those  nearest  and 
dearest  to  him  in  the  far  greater  loss  which  they  have  sustained. 

Resolved,  That  these  resolutions  be  entered  at  length  upon  the 
records  of  the  board  and  a  copy  transmitted  to  the  family  of  our  late 
associate. 

The  vacancy  caused  by  the  death  of  Mr.  Vose  was 
subsequently  filled  in  convention  with  the  selectmen  by 
the  choice  of  Edward  S.  Hathaway. 

Mr.  Hathaway  as  a  new  member  did  not  wish  to 
act  as  chairman  of  the  High  school  committee  but  pre- 
ferred an  assignment  to  the  Greenwood  school.  Mr. 
Johnson  at  once  resigned  as  chairman  of  the  Greenwood 
and  was  appointed  to  that  position  upon  the  High  school 
committee,  and  Mr.  Hathaway  was  thereupon  appointed 
to  the  chairmanship  of  the  Greenwood  school  and  to  all 
other  positions  assigned  to  Mr.  Vose.

In  addition  to  the  amounts  which  appear  in  the  forego- 
ing statistics  as  having  been  expended  in  school  inciden- 
tals at  the  respective  school  buildings,  a  further  sum  of 
•1460.30  has  been  expended  in  incidentals  of  such  a  na- 
ture that  they  affect  all  of  the  schools  alike  and  cannot 
be  readily  apportioned  to  the  several  schools. 

APPROPRIATIONS    AND    EXPENDITURES, 

At  the  annual  meeting  in  March  the  town  appropri- 
ated for  its  schools  the  following  amounts  : 

For  salaries,  janitors  and  fuel, 
text  books  and  supplies, 
incidentals,

The  town  has  thus  placed  at  our  disposal  the  gross 
sum  of  $33,005.24  for  school  purposes.  In  December, 
at  our  request,  -|500  was  transferred  from  the  appropriation 
for  text  books  and  supplies  to  the  account  of  school

The  changes  made  at  the  High  school  building  during 
the  year  largely  increased  the  expenditures  from  the  inci- 
dental fund.  New  seats  and  desks  were  purchased  for 
the  new  room,  the  walks  and  terrace  were  concreted,  and 
various  items  of  minor  importance  caused  an  outlay  of 
about  -$600,  and  so  exhausted  the  incidental  appropriation 
that  the  transfer  above  stated  became  necessary-  The 
bills  of  this  department  are  substantially  paid  to  the  end  of 
the  financial  year,  and  as  will  be  seen  small  unexpended 
balances  remain.  The  large  amount  paid  for  text 
books  and  supplies  covers  outstanding  bills  of  last  year 
to  the  amount  of  several  hundred  dollars.  We  have  on 
hand  the  sum  of  $42.47  of  Mass.  school  fund,  and  have 
used  during  the  year  -$33.75  for  reference  books.  It 
will  be  seen  by  comparison  that  your  schools  have 
been  carried  on  at  a  cost  of  about  $2500  less  than  last 
year.  In  making  this  statement  the  cost  of  new  buildings 
is  not  included. 

TEACHERS. 

There  have  been  but  few  changes  in  the  corps  of 
teachers  during  the  year,  especially  is  this  true  in  the 
grammar  and  primary  grades.  The  reports  of  the  local 
committees  herewith  submitted  will  show  the  particular 
changes  which  have  occurred. 

It  is  of  great  importance  to  our  schools  that 
good  teachers  be  secured  and  retained  as  far  as  possi- 
ble. In  the  exercise  of  their  discretion  in  the  choice 
of  teachers  lies  the  most  important  duty  of  the  com- 
mittee, and  the  school  work  will  very  soon  show  whether 
this  duty  has  been  wisely  performed.  With  normal 
schools  and  training  schools  to  fit  teachers  for  their  work 
it  is  possible  to  secure  competent  instructors  well 
equipped  for  their  work,  but  the  selection  must  be    care- 


10 

fully  made  as  it  is  true  that  a  diploma  is  not  always  conclus- 
ive proof  that  its  holder  will  make  a  successful  teacher. 

Two  years  ago  a  change  was  made  in  the  schedule 
of  salaries  with  a  view  to  holding  in  your  employ  the 
teachers  of  the  higher  grades,  and  this  year  the  sal- 
aries of  the  masters  of  the  grammar  schools  and  lady 
teachers  who  had  been  employed  by  the  the  town  for  eight 
or  more  consecutive  years  were  increased.  We  hope 
these  changes  will  enable  us  to  keep  good  talent  in  the 
important  grades  of  the  course. 

It  has  been  found  desirable  during  the  year  to  em- 
ploy competent  lady  assistants  in  the  master's  rooms  at 
the  Fairmount  and  Greenwood  schools.  These  buildings 
are  now  fully  occupied,  and  the  care  of  the  masters  con- 
sequently increased.  It  seems  well  for  the  master  in 
charge'  to  have  a  general  oversight  of  the  work  in  the 
various  grades,  and  to  extend  his  personal  influence  to  all 
the  pupils,  for  whose  conduct  and  advancement  he  is  held 
responsible. 

An  assistant  has  been  provided  at  the  Grew  school 
for  several  years  and  the  value  of  the  system  there  would 
not  be  questioned.  We  do  not  hesitate  to  say  that  with 
this  addition  to  the  teaching  force  better  results  will  be 
possible  in  our  large  schools. 

COURSE    OF    STUDY. 

Very  few  changes  have  been  made  during  the  year. 
The  course  in  physiology  and  hygiene  has  been  modified  to 
some  extent,  and  some  new  text  books  adopted  to  meet  the 
change.  In  this  connection  it  seems  proper  to  say  that 
it  is  found  almost  if  not  quite  impossible  to  cover  the 
branches  required  by  law  in  a  satisfactory  manner  in  our 
course  of  eight  years.  New  requirements  being  made 
tend  to  take   the   time  and  attention    from   a  number    of 


11 

branches  which  formerly  filled  the  greater  part  of  the 
school  curriculum.  The  result  to  those  who  have 
closely  watched  our  schools  for  a  number  of  years  is  ap- 
parent.  The  tendency  is  to  know  something  of  a  large 
number  of  branches  rather  than  to  have  a  complete 
knowledge  of  a  few.  We  are  firmly  of  the  opinion 
that  the  same  standard  of  scholarship  is  not  to  be  ex- 
pected in  each  of  the  required  subjects  unless  the  time  of 
the  course  is  extended. 

SUPPLEMENTAL    HEADING. 

A  sub-committee  (Mr.  Washburn  and  Mrs.  Wood)  was 
appointed  last  spring  to  act  with  the  masters  upon  this 
matter,  as  the  old  books  had  long  been  in  use  and  a  change 
seemed  desirable.  This  Committee  made  a  careful  examina- 
tion of  the  many  publications  now  in  the  market,  and  re- 
ported in  favor  of  an  entire  change  of  books  and  recom- 
mended several  series  of  readers  and  other  publications  for 
use  in  the  new  course.  These  recommendations  were 
adopted  in  full  committee,  and  the  new  books  were  placed 
in  the  schools  at  the  beginning  of  this  school  year.  These 
books  contain  much  general  information  and  are  especially 
adapted  for  sight  reading.  The  change  meets  the  ap- 
proval of  teachers  and  pupils. 

music. 
The  instruction  in  music  has  continued  in  charge  of 
Mr.  H.  J.  Whittemore  assisted  by  his  daughter  Miss 
Mary  E.  Whittemore.  In  order  that  the  work  might 
be  improved,  if  possible,  a  special  committee  consisting 
of  Mr.  Hathaway  and  Mrs.  Wood  was  appointed  to  con- 
fer with  the  instructors  and  report  what,  if  any,  change 
in  the  course  or  methods  seemed  desirable.  Some  new 
charts  have  been  adopted  which  we  hope  will  prove  ben- 
eficial to  the  course.

SEWING. 

Last  year  sewing  was  introduced,  and  one  lesson 
each  week  given  to  the  girls  of  the  fifth  and  sixth 
classes.  This  has  been  changed  so  that  the  lessons  are 
now  given  to  the  girls  of  the  eighth  and  ninth  grades.  The 
time  of  the  fifth  and  sixth  grades  being  so  much  occupied 
with  other  important  work  it  seemed  best  to  relieve 
them  of  this  matter  and  place  it  earlier  in  the  course. 
Two  teachers  are  employed,  one  being  assigned  to  the 
Grew  and  Damon,  and  the  other  to  the  Greenwood 
and  Fairmount  schools. 

ATTENDANCE. 

It  has  been  the  policy  of  the  committee  to  keep  the 
school  buildings  clean,  and  to  improve  the  sanitary  con- 
dition as  much  as  possible.  Disinfectants  are  furnished 
and  freely  used  in  the  school  rooms  and  outbuildings. 
Care  has  been  taken  to  comply  strictly  with  the  laws  for 
the  prevention  of  the  spread  of  contagious  diseases.  It 
is  with  pleasure  that  we  say  that  the  schools  have  been 
substantially  free  from  these  diseases  during  the  year. 
The  measles  prevailed  to  some  extent  in  the  Grew  and 
Greenwood  districts  last  spring,  and  slightly  affected  the 
attendance.  The  High  school  suffered  some  from  this 
cause.  An  evil  exists  at  the  Damon  schools  and  affects 
the  average  attendance  materially.  It  was  referred  to 
last  year  by  the  local  committee.  It  arises  from  the  fact 
that  pupils  enter  and  enroll  as  members  of  the  school, 
attend  for  a  few  days  or  weeks,  then  are  absent  for  a  time, 
and  as  we  are  informed  are  in  attendance  at  private 
schools;  this  not  only  reduces  the  average  attendance  but 
retards  the  work  of  the  individual  pupil  and  affects  the 
whole  class.  The  tables  annexed  to  this  report  show  the 
per  cents,  of  attendance  for  the  year.

TRUANCY. 

The  Committee  has  received  notice  from  the  County 
Commissioners  that  a  county  truant  school  has  been  es- 
tablished at  Walpole.  This  will  meet  a  long-felt  want,  as 
pupils  who  have  an  inclination  to  play  truant  will  be  re- 
strained by  the  knowledge  that  the  town  now  has  a  place 
for  their  commitment.  Heretofore  it  has  been  impossible 
to  enforce  the  law  because  of  the  indisposition  of  magis- 
trates to  send  children  to  industrial  schools  or  penal  in- 
stitutions for  this  cause. 

ORDERS    OF    INSPECTION    OF   PUBLIC    BUILDINGS. 

Sometime  in  February  of  last  year  orders  were  re- 
ceived from  Lemuel  Pope  of  the  State  Police  and  Deputy 
for  this  district,  requiring  very  material  and  costly  changes 
to  be  made  in  our  school  buildings.  These  changes  were 
ordered  upon  the  assumption  by  the  inspectors  that  the 
means  of  egress  were  insufficient  in  case  of  fire.  The  orders 
were  similar  as  touching  each  building.  The  board  of  last 
year  caused  some  estimates  to  be  made  as  to  the  cost  of 
the  changes,  and  found  the  full  expense  to  the  town 
would  be  about  eight  thousand  dollars.  In  view  of  the 
great  expense  and  the  fact  that  the  Committee  after  care- 
ful investigation  believed  many  of  these  changes  unneces- 
sary and  some  of  them  detrimental  to  the  very  purposes 
for  which  they  were  ordered,  this  committee  did  not  feel 
justified  in  making  the  outlay  without  having  the  whole 
matter  considered  by  the  town.  The  selectmen  at  our  re- 
quest brought  this  subject  before  you  at  a  town  meeting, 
and  its  further  consideration  was  placed  in  the  hands  of  a 
special  committee.  We  are  informed  that  the  orders  have 
been  materially  modified  and  largely  complied  with  as 
modified. 

At  the  time  of  the   above  orders  others   were    received 


14 

by  the  Committee  from  the  same  source,  requiring-  better 
means  of  ventilation  for  all  of  the  school  buildings  but 
no  system  was  suggested  in  the  orders,  nor  would  the 
state  authorities  recommend  any  system  and  assure  us 
that  when  put  in  use  its  result  would  be  satisfactory. 
These  orders  took  the  same  course  of  those  first  named, 
and  since  the  reference  of  these  matters  to  a  special  com- 
mittee this  board  has  take  no  action  in  the  premises.  We 
feel  the  town  has  placed  the  matters  in  the  care  of  a  com- 
petent committee,  and  their  action  will  fully  appear  when 
they  shall  report  to  the  town. 

PRESENTS. 

In  has  been  the  custom  for  the  school  children  to  col- 
lect money  among  themselves  for  the  purpose  of  making- 
presents  to  their  respective  teachers  at  the  close  of  the 
school  year  and  sometimes  at  Christmas.  This  may  seem 
a  commendable  thing,  and  evidence  of  that  appreciation 
desirable  on  the  part  of  the  children  for  their  teachers. 
Our  public  schools  are  for  all  classes  and  conditions,  the 
rich  and  the  poor  are  upon  an  equal  here,  and  all  things 
which  serve  to  make  distinctions  or  to  create  ill  feeling's 
between  pupils  should  be  discouraged.  These  collections 
often  compel  contributions  from  those  who  can  ill  afford 
them,  because  to  refuse  may  place  a  child  at  disadvantage 
among-  his  classmates.  We  believe  that  no  child  in  our 
public  schools  should  be  put  in  a  position  where  he  will 
be  made  to  feel  or  apologize  for  the  pecuniary  condition 
of  himself  or  his  parents.  In  this  view  of  the  matter  the 
following  rule  has  been  adopted  during  the  year: 

"That  no  collections  or  subscriptions  of  money  shall 
be  taken  in  the  public  schools  for  the  purpose  of  making- 
presents  to  teachers  or  other  persons  without  special 
permission  from  the  School  Board."

FLAGS. 

During  the  year  public-spirited  citizens  have  presented 
your  several  school  buildings  with  large  and  beautiful 
flags  of  our  national  design.  It  is  with  pleasure  that 
we  here  acknowledge  the  same,  and  we  believe  that  we 
fully  represent  the  sentiment  of  our  fellow  citizens  when 
we  extend  the  thanks  of  our  town  to  the  various 
donors  for  their  gifts.  We  believe  that  love  of  country 
and  a  pride  in  all  that  stands  for  it  and  its  institutions  lie 
at  the  foundation  of  good  citizenship,  and  that  no  oppor- 
tunity should  be  lost  to  firmly  implant  these  patriotic 
ideas  in  the  minds  of  children  of  our  schools. 

From  the  funds  placed  at  our  disposal  for  the  care  and 
improvement  of  the  school  property  we  have  provided 
for  each  building  a  suitable  staff,  from  which  will  here- 
after be  displayed  during  the  sessions  of  school,  the  flag 
of  our  country,  and  we  feel  certain  that  the  inspiration 
of  these  banners  will  tend  to  make  the  coming  genera- 
tion loyal  citizens  and  firm  supporters  of  our  free  govern- 
ment. If  the  children  are  early  impressed  with  that  love 
and  reverence  for  our  flag  which  comes  with  a  full  knowl- 
edge of  what  it  has  cost  in  the  lives  and  fortunes  of 
their  forefathers  to  establish  and  maintain  its  honor  and 
integrity,  we  feel  sure  that  should  occasion  hereafter  call, 
these  children  who  assemble  each  day  under  its  shadow 
will  stand  manfully  for  its  defence  whenever  and  where- 
ever  assailed. 

CONCLUSION. 

It  has  been  the  aim  of  your  Committee  to  improve  the 
public  schools  wherever  opportunity  offered,  and  to  keep 
the  standard  as  high  as  possible.  We  are  well  aware  that 
the  real  results  of  the  work  of  the  year  can  not  be 
known,  for,  relating  as  it  does  to  mental  development 
and  formation  of  character  it  can  not  be  measured.     Time 


16 

will  only  show  whether  our  school  training  is  success- 
ful in  producing  well-trained  men  and  women. 

It  must  not  be  forgotten  that  each  year  finds  new 
pupils  for  each  teacher,  nor  must  we  forget  that  while  to 
outward  appearance  our  schools  seem  nearly  the  same 
each  year,  yet  they  are  not  the  same.  So  it  often  happens 
that  teachers  and  methods  that  have  met  with  marked  suc- 
cess one  year  may  prove  almost  or  quite  a  failure  the  next 
year  because  of  changed  conditions  and  relations.  The 
natures  of  the  pupils,  their  habits  of  life  and  thought, 
their  home  care  and  training  all  enter  into  this  problem 
and  become  parts  of  the  final  result  of  their  school  work. 

The  school  is  not  a  machine  shop  where  all  children 
irrespective  of  these  conditions  can  be  put  through  the 
various  grades  and  come  out  finished  alike,  and  alike  cap- 
able of  the  duties  of  life. 

The  work  of  the  school  must  be  elastic,  touching  each 
child  where  the  need  appears,  and  this  need  must  be 
watched  for  and  met  by  the  care  and  ingenuity  of  the 
teacher.  It  is  these  constantly  changing  conditions  that 
require  expert  teachers  and  that  constant  vigilance  of  the 
Committee  that  the  pupils  may  at  all  times  have  that  kind 
of  instruction  best  suited  to  them.  Nor  is  the  parent 
excused  from  his  share  in  this  watchfulness,  for  he  should 
aid  the  teacher  with  his  confidence,  and  assist  him  to 
rightly  understand  the  characteristics  of  his  child,  that 
the  methods  of  instruction  may  be  properly  adapted  to 
his  wants. 

After  all  the  real  test  of  improvement  will  be  whether 
our  schools  are  making  better  citizens  than  formerly,  and 
not  whether  the  pupils  are  more  expert  in  the  branches 
of  the  course.  The  tendency  we  admit  is  to  apply  the 
latter  rather  than  the  former  rule,  but  the  future  will 
hold  our  schools  responsible  for  the  kind  of  men  they  are 


17 

training  without  special  regard  to  their  expert  knowledge 
in  this  or  that  science.  We  are  not  to  be  understood  that  a 
good  knowledge  of  the  branches  required  in  the  schools  is 
not  essential,  for  we  maintain  to  the  contrary,  and  firmly 
assert  that  the  mental  power  gained  in  the  complete  mas- 
tery of  our  common  school  course  is  an  important  element 
in  the  success  of  the  children  in  after  life.  While  this  is 
held  important  we  are  not  unmindful  that  moral  and  physi- 
cal culture  are  not  to  be  neglected  or  forgotten  in  the 
school  work.  We  have  spared  no  effort  to  have  all  of 
the  children  of  the  town  without  regard  to  class  or  con- 
dition provided  with  an  opportunity  for  obtaining  the 
care,  instruction,  and  discipline  afforded  by  properly  con- 
ducted public  schools.  We  hope  the  future  will  show 
that  our  efforts  have  been  well  directed,  and  that  the 
school  work  of  the  year  has  been  in  every  way  successful. 
We  would  not  conclude  this  report  without  express- 
ing our  appreciation  of  the  material  aid  given  by  our 
fellow-citizens,  the  co-operation  of  a  faithful  corps  of 
teachers,  and  the  uniform  courtesy  of  the  patrons  of  the 
schools,  and  we  cheerfully  say  that  these  have  been  po- 
tent factors  in  whatever  success  may  have  attended  our 
labors  during  the  year. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

CHARLES  G.  CHICK,  Chairman. 
Hyde  Pakk,  Jan.  21th,  1889. 

At  the  regular  meeting  of  the  School  Committee,  held 
this  day  the  foregoing  report  was  submitted  by  the  Chair- 
man, and  it  was  voted  that  the  same  be  adopted  as  the 
report  of  the  Committee.

SUB-COMMITTEE  REPORTS. 


HIGH    SCHOOL. 

Our  High  school  continued  till  the  close  of  the  school 
year  in  June  under  the  same  instructors  as  last  year  and 
accomplished  results  fully  equal  to  those  of  preceding- 
years.  With  the  end  of  the  summer  term,  however, 
came  important  changes  in  both  the  corps  of  teachers  and 
the  building. 

Owing  to  the  resignation  of  Mr.  Eliot  who  had  for  thir- 
teen years  so  creditably  to  himself  and  to  the  school  con- 
ducted its  career,  the  Committee  were  obliged  to  seek 
another  principal,  and  placed  Jere.  M.  Hill,  M.  A.,  of 
Bangor,  Me.,  a  gentleman  of  ample  scholarship  and  ex- 
perience, at  the  head  of  the  school ;  Miss  Carrie  B.  Morse 
of  Charlestown  was  placed  in  the  position  made  vacant  by 
the  resignation  of  Miss  Fanny  G.  Merrick.  Miss  Morse  has 
charge  of  four  classes  in  English  and  one  in  Latin,  and  was 
highly  recommended  as  an  instructor.  The  large  increase 
in  the  membership  of  the  school  at  the  beginning  of  the 
term  in  October  rendered  the  employment  of  an  additional 
teacher  imperative,  and  Mr.  Geo.  F.  Eldridge  of  the 
School  of  Technology,  and  formerly  a  graduate  of  this 
institution,  was  placed  in  charge  of  two  classes  in  alg*ebra, 
two  in  geometry,  and  one  in  English,  and  is  doing  good 
work. 

The  changes  in  the  building-  made  necessary  by  the 
growth  of  the  school  were  planned  and  conducted  by  a 
special  committee  appointed  at  a  meeting  of  the  town  in 
July,  and  were  begun  in  the  summer  vacation,  and  com- 
pleted  October   15th.      The   present   needs  of   the  school 


19 

have  been  met  by  the  addition  of  an  ell  40  x  70  feet  to 
rear  of  the  main  building,  giving  one  large  room  in  the 
upper  and  two  smaller  ones  in  the  lower  story,  besides  dress- 
ing rooms,  closets,  etc.,  which  were  much  needed.  Of  the 
labors  of  this  committee  much  might  be  said.  In  the 
short  time  given  them  and  with  the  very  unfavorable 
weather  for  building  operations,  much  was  accomplished. 
The  new  rooms  are  well  arranged,  well  lighted,  tastefully 
finished,  and  for  the  present  are  ample  as  to  room.  The 
grounds  have  been  much  improved,  graded  and  cleared 
up.  The  old  coat  of  paint  on  the  main  building  has 
given  place  to  a  soberer  and  a  more  pleasing  hue,  and 
everything  put  in  as  good  condition  as  the  appropriation 
would  allow.  One  room  in  the  new  addition  and  one  in 
old  building  are  poorly  ventilated,  but  the  special  com- 
mittee of  the  town  on  ventilation  has  this  matter  in  hand, 
and  this  trouble  will,  we  trust,  be  speedily  remedied.  It  is 
a  matter  of  some  uncertainty  as  to  whether  the  single  fur- 
nace under  the  new  addition  will  satisfactorily  heat  that 
part  of  the  building  in  zero  weather.  The  mild  weather 
so  far  this  season  has  been  in  our  favor.  It  is  very 
probable  that  another  furnace  will  have  to  be  added  be- 
fore next  winter. 

The  school  opened  October  15th  with  169  scholars,  75  in 
the  entering  class,  the  largest  in  the  history  of  the  school; 
and  although  it  is  now  in  very  much  better  condition  as 
to  accommodations  than  for  some  years,  the  time  is  not 
far  distant  when  with  the  same  ratio  of  increase  as  this 
year  our  present  comfortable  quarters  will  be  outgrown 
and  larger  ones  demanded.  In  all  probability  the  Fall 
term  of  1890  will  begin  with  200  scholars,  and  that  of 
1891  with  230  to  250,  and  this  number  is  more  than  the 
present  building  will  hold  with  proper  regard  for  sanitary 
conditions,  so  that  the  question  of  still  further   accommo- 


20 

dations  will  be  before  us  next  year,  1891.  This  in- 
creased demand  for  a  higher  education  is  very  gratifying 
to  the  Committee,  and  they  earnestly  recommend  that  the 
scientific  department  of  the  course  be  encouraged  by  a 
fair  supply  of  apparatus  and  material  for  laboratory  work. 
For  about  $500  such  articles  as  are  needed  could  be  ob- 
tained, and  with  an  extension  of  this  part  of  the  course 
better  facilities  would  be  given  towards  fitting  young  men 
for  the  demands  of  active  life. 

In  closing  we  desire  to  express  the  grateful  apprecia- 
tion by  both  scholars  and  teachers  of  the  concrete  side- 
walk laid  by  the  town  in  front  of  the  school  grounds. 
This  improvement  in  the  means  of  access  to  the  school  was 
a  welcome  one,  and  has  added  much  to  the  comfort  of  all 
who  have  occasion  to  use  it.

BUTLER    SCHOOL. 

The  little  building  known  as  the  Butler  schoolhouse  still 
shelters  daily,  under  its  time-honored  roof,  two  interesting 
and  pleasant  primary  classes  belonging  to  ttie  Greenwood 
school.  Miss  Grace  B.  Gidney  is  the  teacher  in  charge, 
and  as  I  have  visited  the  school  from  time  to  time  dur- 
ing the  year,  I  have  always  found  the  children  bus}r  and 
happy,  and  the  teacher  doing  steady,  faithful  work. 
There  is  a  noticeable  spirit  of  kindliness,  harmony  and 
good  feeling  prevading  the  school.

DAMON    SCHOOL. 

The  work  at  the  Damon  school  is  progressing  well  in 
view  of  the  changes  that  have  occurred  there.  The 
number  of  pupils  remain  about  as  reported  last  year  with 
a  fair  average  attendance. 

The  transfer  of  Mr.  Cross  to  the  Fairmount  school  has 
of  course  interfered  to  some  extent  with  the  work  of  the 
school.  Mr.  Cross,  having  been  here  for  so  many  years, 
had  a  strong  hold  upon  the  patrons  and  pupils  of  the 
school  and  was  thoroughly  acquainted  with  the  condition 
and  needs  of  every  department. 

The  full  committee  not  making  the  transfer  until  late 
in  August  gave  us  but  a  short  time  to  fill  the  vacancy. 

Mr.  S.  S.  Crocker,  a  teacher  of  long  experience  with 
good  recommendations,  was  placed  in  charge  of  the  school 
at  the  beginning  of  this  school  year,  and  remained  about 
one  month,  when  he  resigned  to  accept  a  business  engage- 
ment. We  do  not  feel  warranted  in  speaking  of  the 
character  of  his  work  in  view  of  the  shortness  of  his  ser- 
vice in  the  school.  His  resignation  came  at  an  unfor- 
tunate time  and  made  it  difficult  to  find  an  available 
teacher  with  recognized  merit  for  the  position. 

We  corresponded  with  all  masters  upon  the  secretary's 
list  and  had  personal  interviews  with  several ;  nearly 
all  were  engaged  in  teaching  and  did  not  desire  to 
change. 

Mr.  J.  S.  Manter  was  finally  selected,  and  has  been  in 
charge  of  the  school  since  the  last  of  September.  He  is 
a  Normal  graduate  and  has  had  several  years  of  experi- 
ence in  a  similar  position.  So  far  as  we  have  observed 
Mr.  Manter  seems  to  be  doing  very  creditable  work. 

Miss  Mary  D.  Pollard,  also  a  Normal  graduate  and  a 
teacher  of  experience,  was  appointed  to  the  vacancy 
caused  by  the  resignation  of   Miss  Sears.     She  is  a  con- 


22    • 

scientious,  painstaking  teacher,  and  her  work  shows  the 
value  of  special  training. 

Mrs.  Walcott,  who  has  heretofore  so  kindly  made  this 
school  an  object  of  her  bounty,  kindly  presented  it  with 
a  large  flag  in  September,  As  early  as  possible  a  staff 
was  provided,  and  this  school  enjoys  the  distinction  of 
being  the  first  in  town  to  raise  a  flag. 

The  school  property  is  in  good  condition  and  no  extra- 
ordinary outlay  will  be  needed  the  coming  year.

FAIRMOUNT     SCHOOL. 

On  account  of  ill  health  and  to  meet  suggestions  of  the 
committee,  Mr.  Howard  requested  leave  of  absence,  which 
was  granted  for  a  year. 

Mr.  E.  W.  Cross,  for  many  years  in  charge  of  the 
Damon  school,  was  transferred  to  the  Fairmount  school. 
His  intimate  knowledge  of  the  school  work  in  our  town, 
and  his  entire  familiarity  with  the  attainments  of  the 
pupils  and  the  methods  of  instruction  practised  here  have 
operated  very  favorably  in  preventing  what  might  other- 
wise have  caused  a  serious  break  in  the  progress  of  the 
school.  Mr.  Cross  has  fully  sustained  his  previous  excellent 
reputation  and  the  discipline  and  progress  of  the  school 
in  scholarship  deserves  special  commendation. 

The  transfer  of  Miss  Howes  to  the  Greenwood  school 
caused  a  vacancy  in  the  twelfth  class,  which  was  filled 
very  satisfactorily  by  the  appointment  of  Miss  A.  M. 
Hood  to  the  position.  The  other  teachers  remain  the 
same  as  last  year  and  continue  to  fill  with  good  results 
their  various  positions.

Instructions  in  needlework  have  been  limited  to  a 
weekly  lesson  in  the  eighth  and  ninth  classes.  This  de- 
partment has  been  in  charge  of  Mrs.  D.  A.  Preston.  A 
larger  appropriation  is  desirable  to  increase  the  efficiency 
of  our  industrial  instruction. 

During  the  year  the  fifth  or  graduating  class  has  pur- 
chased and  donated  to  the  school  the  "  Library  of  Uni- 
versal Knowledge,"  15  volumes  octavo.  It  is  intended 
that  this  memorial  offering  to  the  school  shall  take  the 
place  of  the  usual  present  to  the  master,  which  has  been 
prohibited  by  the  committee's  vote  forbidding  presents  to 
teachers. 

The  school  has  also  received  the  present  of  a  bell  and 
money  has  been  raised  for  two  flags  which  will  be  floated 
over  the  building  as  soon  as  a  proper  staff  can  be  put  in 
place. 

In  our  administration  of  affairs  the  effort  has  been  made 
to  emphasize  the  ideas,  first,  that  the  school  exists  for  the 
pupils  and  for  the  individual  pupil,  rather  than  the  pupil 
for  the  school ;  second,  that  the  public  schools  of  America 
must  prepare  and  train  the  pupils  for  American  citizenship. 

Miss  H.  N.  Sands  has  just  been  added  to  the  corps  of 
teachers  as  master's  assistant,  and  many  and  great  advan- 
tages are  expected  both  from  her  direct  work  in  the  fifth 
class  and  also  from  the  opportunity  given  Mr.  Cross  to 
visit  frequently  different  rooms  and  carefully  supervise 
the  entire  work  of  the  school. 

Respectfully  submitted,

GREENWOOD    SCHOOL. 

But  little  has  occurred  outside  the  regular  routine  of 
school  life  the  past  year  calling  for  special  comment. 

The  decease  of  Mr.  Vose  early  in  the  school  year 
caused  a  change  in  the  make-up  of  the  local  committee, 
and  Mr.  Hathaway  was  assigned  to  the  chairmanship. 

Only  one  change  in  teachers  has  occurred.  Miss  Alger, 
teacher  of  the  twelfth  class,  resigned  her  position  in  April, 
and  the  vacancy  thus  created  was  filled  by  the  transfer  of 
Miss  Evelyn  S.  Howes  from  the  Fairmount  school. 

The  local  committee  feeling  that  better  work  could  be 
done  if  the  master  was  brought  into  individual  contact 
with  all  the  classes  in  the  school,  which  could  not  be 
done  as  long  as  he  was  confined  exclusively  to  the  teach- 
ing of  the  fifth  class,  recommended  to  the  full  Board  the 
appointment  of  an  assistant  for  the  master's  room.  This 
recommendation  was  unanimously  adopted  by  them  and 
we  were  fortunate  in  securing  the  services  of  Mrs.  Josie 
T.  Reid,  a  graduate  of  Farmington  Normal  school,  who 
comes  to  us  well  recommended  from  Gardner,  Mass.  Al- 
though this  plan  has  been  in  operation  only  a  short  time 
the  advantages  from  the  movement  are  already  being  felt, 
and  we  are  confident  that  the  results  will  vindicate  the 
wisdom  of  the  step. 

The  average  attendance  of  the  school  has  been  some- 
what reduced  in  the  lower  classes  by  an  outbreak  of 
measles  in  the  early  months  of  the  year,  and  in  the  pre- 
vailing influenza,  which  has  marked  the  past  few  weeks, 
the  Greenwood  has  come  in  for  its  share. 

The  school  building  is  in  good  order  and  with  the  excep- 
tion of  the  laying  of  a  concrete  walk,  which  ought  to  be 
done,  no  great  outlay  will  be  required  on  the  building  or 
grounds.  In  compliance  with  the  order  of  the  inspectors 
of  buildings  a  stand  pipe  has  been  put  in,  and    the    water 


25 

is  kept  constantly  turned  on,  lines  of  hose  being  attached 
on  the  different  floors  in  readiness  for  instant  use.  With 
the  method  of  heating  employed,  and  the  protection  af- 
forded by  the  stand  pipe  and  hose,  we  feel  that  the  dam- 
age from  fire  has  been  reduced  to  the  minimum. 

Your  Committee  desire  to  again  call  your  attention  to  the 
growth  of  this  section  of  the  town.  There  are  now  in  the 
building  344  pupils.  Some  of  the  grades  are  already  crowded. 
The  town  will  do  well  to  bear  in  mind  that  at  no  distant  day 
additional  accommodations  for  the  grammar  grades  will 
have  to  be  provided  in  this  district.  Should  the  rubber 
works  recently  established  near  the  River  street  station 
bring  to  that  locality  any  large  number  of  children,  and 
should  this  number  be  further  increased  by  the  coming 
of  other  industries  to  this  section,  as  is  contemplated,  the 
consideration  of  the  question  of  increased  accommoda- 
tion may  be  forced  upon  us  at  an  early  date.

GREW    SCHOOL. 

This  school  has  fortunately  met  with  little  change  in 
its  corps  of  instructors  during  the  year  just  closed.  Miss 
Farnsworth,  a  highly  esteemed  teacher,  resigned  in  May, 
and  her  class  was  taken  by  Miss  Harriet  Gordon  of 
Woodstock,  Conn.,  a  lady  of  considerable  experience.  At 
the  beginning  of  the  September  term,  with  a  view  of  in- 
creasing the  general  efficiency,  Miss  Bertram  was  placed 
in  charge  of  the  seventh  class,  Miss  Gordon  of  the  eighth, 
and  Misses  Gushee  and  Harlow  of  the  ninth  classes.  The 
effect  of  this  seems  to  have  been  beneficial.  Robert  Scott, 
who  had  been  janitor  of  the  building  for  quite   a  number 


26 

of  years,  resigned  the  position  a  few  weeks  ago  and  John 
Peterson  was  appointed  in  his  place.  Mr.  Peterson  has 
had  experience  in  the  work  required  as  janitor  of  Christ 
Church  and  of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  rooms. 

The  pupils  of  this  school  number  about  the  same  as  at 
the  beginning  of  the  year.  The  attendance  has  been  very 
good.  Relief  from  the  former  overcrowded  state  of 
many  of  the  rooms  has  given  a  more  satisfactory  grading, 
more  personal  attention  of  the  teachers  to  the  wants  of 
the  individual  scholar,  and  greater  ease  of  discipline. 
The  quiet,  orderly  and  respectful  deportment  in  some  of 
the  rooms  is  very  noticeable  and  gratifying.  We  under- 
stand that  corporal  punishment  is  now  rarely  administered 
and  only  when  other  means  have  failed  to  secure  ready 
obedience. 

So  far  as  we  are  enabled  to  judge  the  classes  have 
made  fair  progress  in  study  during  the  year,  and  doubt- 
less equal  to  that  of  the  other  schools  in  town.  If  tbe 
advancement  in  this  direction  has  not  been  all  which 
could  be  desired,  we  think  it  is  due  not  to  lack  of  effort 
on  the  part  of  scholars  or  teachers  so  much  as  to  the 
tendency  of  the  present  time  to  scatter  instruction  over 
so  wide  an  area  that  in  many  instances  the  result  is  quite 
superficial. 

The  Grew  graduated  a  very  large  class  last  June.  The 
class  which  is  expected  to  graduate  next  June  is  even 
larger,  numbering  at  the  present  time  forty-seven.  It  is 
hoped  that  all  of  these  will  then  prove  to  be  well 
equipped  either  for  more  extended  schooling  or  for  busi- 
ness life. 

Voluntary  contributions  of  teachers  and  pupils  fur- 
nished means  for  the  purchase  of  two  national  flags  and  a 
storm  signal  for  this  school.  The  committee  caused  a 
suitable  flag-staff  to  be   erected  on   the  building,  and  on 


27 

Jan.  10th,  after  appropriate  exercises  by  the  pupils  and 
others  in  the  hall,  the  flag  was  run  up  and  given  to  the 
breeze. 

During  the  mid-summer  vacation  one  of  the  classrooms 
was  re-furnished  with  new  desks  and  chairs.  This  much 
needed  improvement  should  be  continued  throughout  the 
building  as  soon  as  possible.  When  the  Grew  school  was 
established  it  was  equipped,  as  we  are  informed,  with  furni- 
ture procured  at  second  hand,  and  comprising  a  variety  of 
styles.  It  is  now  old,  rickety  and  dirty,  and  of  various 
patterns.  We  hope  to  have  power  given  us  to  replace 
these  with  modern  and  suitable  equipments.  The  walls 
of  the  room  should  be  thoroughly  cleansed  and  tinted. 
This  was  last  done  about  ten  years  ago.  Such  work  is 
now  needed,  not  for  sanitary  reasons  but  for  its  educating 
influences.  The  six  furnaces  by  which  heat  is  provided 
for  the  building  seem  to  us  to  be  a  very  cumbrous  and 
costly  means  to  that  end.  They  are  frequently  in  need 
of  repair,  take  up  much  of  the  janitor's  time  which 
might  be  profitably  given  to  other  necessary  matters, 
give  very  unequal  amounts  of  heat  to  the  different  rooms 
and  cause  a  great  quantity  of  dust  in  the  basement, 
much  of  which  finds  its  way  through  the  cracks  in  the 
flooring  above  and  mingles  with  the  air  which  the  schol- 
ars in  the  lower  rooms  breathe.  On  every  account  we 
think  it  would  be  a  wise  policy  to  remove  and  sell  these 
furnaces  and  heat  the  building  by  steam,  as  is  now  be- 
ing so  satisfactorily  done  in  the  Greenwood  school.  The 
school  is  well  supplied  with  books  and  apparatus,  except 
that  more  reference  books  in  the  higher  classes  are  needed.

.EVENING     SCHOOLS. 

Evening  schools  were  opened  early  in  December ;  one 
in  the  Grew  building  with  Mr.  Rice  as  master  and  Miss 
Bertram  as  assistant ;  the  other  in  the  Damon  building, 
with  Mr.  Eldridge  as  master  and  Mr.  F.  W.  Howard  as 
assistant,  who  shortly  after  resigning,  was  succeeded  by 
Mrs.  Merrill.  Both  these  schools  began  with  a  large  num- 
ber of  scholars,  more  in  fact  than  could  be  at  once  accom- 
modated. Though  the  number  has  somewhat  diminished 
since,  the  attendance  is  yet  very  good,  averaging  33  in 
the  Damon,  and  a  trifle  less  in  the  Grew.  The  majority 
of  the  scholars  are  engaged  in  work  during  the  day  in  the 
various  manufactories.     Nearly  half  of  them  are  females. 

It  is  a  source  of  gTatification  to  the  committee  that 
while  at  first  quite  a  number  of  the  occasional  attendants 
at  these  schools  seemed  to  5*0  there  for  fun  rather  than 
anything  else,  the  most  of  the  regular  pupils  make  a 
serious  business  of  it  and  undoubtedly  derive  much  benefit.

INDUSTRIAL    SCHOOL. 

The  limited  appropriation  for  the  year  provided  the 
means  only  to  keep  this  work  in  operation  during  the 
summer  vacation.  The  two  schools,  one  for  sewing  and 
one  for  carpentry  were  well  attended,  and  the  interest 
well  sustained.  Mrs.  W.  A.  Boardman  had  charge  of  the 
sewing  school,  and  Mr.  J.  E.  Webb  of  the  pupils  in  car- 
pentry. Every  year  the  subject  of  manual  training  is 
demanding  and  receiving  increased  attention,  and  we 
believe  that  Hyde  Park  should  do  more,  rather  than  less 
in  this  direction.  A.    WASHBURN,
