Administration

The administration of Newton's city gov. ernment is in the hands of safe and con- servative executives, honest public-spirited citizens who have the best interests of the people at heart and in their minds. This is

manifested by the high standards of admini- stration which this city has always experi- enced.

Newton has a police force of 149 men, giv- ing it protection at all hours of the day and night. Within recent years, all new modern fire apparatus has been installed. The fire department with 138 permanent men is al- ways ready at hand to meet every emergency.

Educational Opportunities

One factor which has always given Newton a high standing in the estimation of those looking for a good "home city" is its superb system of schools. Since the early days of 1699, when the first little schoolhouse was built and John Staples became teacher, hold- ing his scholastic sessions four days in each week for a stipend of two shillings a day, the school system of Newton has grown nobly.

Since those early days, Newton has de- veloped tremendously along educational lines. Now there are high grade modern buildings -schools of the highest type for this purpose, with proper exits and due caution against fires and other emergencies. There are also new modern high schools, and the number of pupils that enter the high schools has in- creased appreciably within the last decade. There also are several very fine private . Schools. The Lasell Junior College, with its beautiful spacious grounds, established 1851, has long been famous. This young ladies' academy has admitted young women from all parts of the United States.

Among other well-known private schools within the city are Fessenden, and MtIda Junior College. The higher institutions of learning are represented by Boston College, in the Chestnut Hill section of the city, and the Andover Newton Theological School (1825) at Newton Centre.

Newton also has a splendid playground system which has developed tremendously within the last decade. There are now many beautiful spots which have been turned into playgrounds for the young. These play. grounds are in charge of very efficient young men and women and the children are taught all sorts of healthful games, while other edu- cational opportunities and interests are en- couraged and promoted.

The Public Library

Another important factor which cannot be disassociated from the school room is the Newton Free Library. This was organized in September, 1869, and received the property of its sponsors, the Newton Library Associa- tion. In 1875 the stockholders of the associa- tion transferred the entire estate to the City of Newton. The location of the building is on Centre street, the ancient main thoroughfare of the town. The Newton Library contains 226,724 volumes and is continually adding to the collection. There are valuable reference books of all periods, as well as works of old

and new fiction. There are also many beauti- ful and rare prints. There are now branch libraries in ten sections of the Newtons, the most recent one being that established in Newtonville

Church and Social Activities

Church influence is strong in Newton, many social and welfare activities also centering in the church organizations, of which there are forty-six in the city. The first church was organized in 1633.

There are over one hundred forty clubs and fraternal organizations in the city, a federa- tion of Women's Clubs, Kiwanis, Lions, Ro- tary, and the Newton Chamber of Commerce.

Growth

History shows that the different parts of Newton have made rapid strides in develop- ment. In 1860 Nonantum Hill had only the Ricker family on its massive western should- er. The greater part of it consisted of scrub oak, a lonely and desolate tract of land. Early in 1800 Newton Lower Falls was a tranquil little village with but ten resident families. In 1872 the village had risca to 940. A little later the village of Newton Highlands was not much more than a crossroads settlement in a region of farms. Nearby were shops of the blacksmith and wheelwright. But today Newton is a great modern city teeming with activities, ever growing, ever expanding. Beautiful modern structures are constantly being erected. Among the later ones the An- gier Memorial School at Waban, the Oak Hill School at Newton Centre, the Franklin School at West Newton, the Eliot Lincoln School at Newton, the West Newton Memorial Library and the Newtonville Branch Library, add much to the appearance of these sections. There are also the Christian Science Church and the Junior High School in Newtonville and Boston College in the Chestnut Hill sec- tion.

Business Activities and Opportunities

Although Newton is widely known as a residential city, it has various manufacturing activities. At Lower Falls is located one of the first paper mills established in the country. In Newton there are also machine shops, and factories engaged in the manufac- ture of fire alarm supplies, silk, worsted, rub- ber, paper boxes, curtains, railway signals, cordage, radio tubes, knit goods, &c.

There are numerous retail stores and specialty shops, pharmacies, modern sanitary markets and food shops, and up-to-date cloth- ing stores well managed and well stocked, a complete range of merchandise at prices as low as any in the large centers.

Information regarding manufacturing op- portunities, business facilities and residential advantages will be supplied on request by the Newton Chamber of Commerce, 297 Walnut Nv

The Main Library was incorporated in 1871 and was built, furnished and maintained for five years through the liberal contributions of citizens, a fund of over $65,000 being form- ed for the purpose, of which sum the late J Wiley Edmands contributed $17,000. In March 1876 the entire property of the Library was given to the City of Newton on condition of its maintenance forever as a Free Library. In 1887 a large addition was built by the City, and again in 1912 a large stack room was added. The plant was completed by the building of a three-car garage for the library trucks in 1925.

In 1926 the citizens of West Newton pre- sented to the City a new branch library building and grounds, valued at over $62,000, and in January 1928 the citizens of Newton Centre and Auburndale gave new buildings and land, valued at about $63,000 and $52,000 respectively. In 1930, the citizens of Waban presented to the City a new branch building valued with grounds at $75,000. A fine new building costing over $100,000, the largest branch in the system, was dedicated at New- tonville, December 1, 1939. The money for the large site was raised by Newtonville citi- zens. The building was a P. W. A. project. In 1934 the residence of the late John C Chaf- fin, 124 Vernon St., acquired by the City in 1930, was remodelled for a "Boys' & Girls' Library". The former quarters of that de- partment in the main building now house the Art Department. At Lower Falls a remodel- led engine house serves as the village library. At Highlands, Upper Falls and Oak Hill, the libraries are in school houses, and in Nonan- tum, rented quarters are used.

On January 1, 1946 the Library owned 226,- 724 volumes, to which additions are con- stantly made. The circulation for 1946 was 416,385.

For 1946 the annual appropriation by the City was $118,734.34 for the Library with its ten branches. In addition there was received from Trust funds in 1946 as follows:
