TOWN OF WAYLAND
Auditor's Report
The accounts of the Financial Officials have been audited and are correct with the exception of one item in the Collec- tor's accounts of $19.53 credited to Interest which should have been credited as follows: $14.63 to Taxes, $4.90 to Moth Tax.
I have recommended that this error be corrected by trans- ferring the above amounts from Interest to the proper ac- counts.
The financial statement to the State Bureau of Statistics has been forwarded as required by law.

REPORT OF FOREST WARDEN
Forest Warden's Report
There were some very bad forest fires the past year in the north part of the town, two of which were started by sparks from a portable sawmill located there, the other two I think were from some other cause. Considerable damage was done by the last two fires as about sixty cords of wood belonging to Mr. W. S. Lovell were burned. The matter was referred to the State Fire Warden. No investigation was made. A new forest fire wagon has been installed the past year which we find to be very useful for forest fires and other fires also.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM STEARNS, Forest Warden.

TOWN OF WAYLAND
Board of Health
The Board of Health respectfully submit the following annual report for the year ending February 28, 1914.
Members of the Board :
Cyrus A. Roak, Chairman
Andrew A. Norris
Walter S. Bigwood, Clerk,
Inspector of Slaughtering:
Dr. Frank Bigwood, M. B. C.
Contagious diseases:
Measles-three cases reported.
Diphtheria, two cases reported.
Typhoid fever-two cases reported.
Tuberculosis-one case reported.
Cerebro-spinal meningitis-one case reported.
Ophthalmia neonatorum-one case reported.
Several cesspools have been put in and drains properly cared for.
Several complaints were made in the early spring of the conditions of the piggeries, situated in the north part of the town. The Board looked up the matter and found that owing to the heavy rains in March and April the piggeries had not been cleaned. By a request from the Board the owners promptly cleaned them out. Since then they have been kept in as good a condition as places of that kind can be kept.
All stagnant water was sprayed several times with mos- quito oil for the prevention of malaria.
Standing water is the breeding place of mosquitos. There- fore it is suggested that every household pour kerosene oil or mosquito oil in cesspools or on surfaces of necessary stand-

ing water once in three weeks. The mosquito being not only a serious annoyance, but menance to the public health, its extermination becomes a matter of public concern.

TOWN OF WAYLAND
Inspector of Animals
Board of Selectmen :
Gentlemen :- I submit the following report for the past year.
Five head of cattle afflicted with tuberculosis have been quarantined, killed and carcases disposed of by rendering.
One case of glanders was reported, quarantined, killed and rendered.
No cases of rabies or other contagious diseases other than those mentioned above have been reported. The general spring inspection is now on.
Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF SURVEYOR OF HIGHWAYS
Report of the Surveyor of Highways
Wayland, February 18, 1914.
The amount appropriated for Highways and Bridges the past year was three thousand dollars ($3,000.00). The Ex- cise tax was seven hundred and seventy six dollars and sixty- two cents ($776.62) also a gift of twenty-five dollars from Mr. R. K. Snow making a total of three thousand eight hundred and one dollars and sixty-two cents ($3,801.62). The expen- ditures for the year amount to three thousand eight hundred and seventy-three dollars and forty nine cents ($3,873.49). Owing to the fact that there were many dangerous washouts on the highways caused by the January thaw and heavy rain I was obliged to overdraw the account seventy-one dollars and eighty-seven cents ($71.87).
The snow bills for the year were two hundrd and thirty three dollars and twenty-nine cents ($233.29)
Receipted pay rolls are on file in the Selectmen's room for above amounts.

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
School Committee
The School Committee of Wayland has again to plead before the people of our community, the importance of an increased appropriation of money for carrying on our schools.
Since last September we have had to fill six vacancies in our force of teachers because of the fact that more attrac- tive positions, with increased salaries, were offered than we could afford to pay. It is a fact that changes among the teachers are, at all times unsettling to the pupils and disturbing both to any established system of instruction and to effective continuous, cooperation among the teachers themselves.
The teachers that are taken from us are more often than not our best teachers and their places must usually be filled by teachers demanding higher salaries, the result being that each succeeding year finds our payroll somewhat increased.
It seems inevitable that this increase must go on for some years to come if we are to have in our Wayland Schools the kind of instruction and the high grade of scholarship in both teachers and pupils which the parents of Wayland have a right to expect.
If it were possible for your School Committee to increase teachers' salaries even to a moderate amount each year it would not be long before positions in Wayland Schools would be eagerly sought instead of being, as now, considered mere makeshifts and stepping stones to something more desirable.
It is perhaps unnecessary to point out that much depends upon the quality of our teachers and that if this is allowed to deteriorate, the education of your children will suffer. The complaint has been in the past that this quality has not been high enough. The answer to this is that quality cannot be had at a low price.

TOWN OF WAYLAND
There is also an imperative need for funds in order that, among other things, our High School may be painted and the roof reshingled.
Twelve years ago in 1902 the school building was for the last time painted inside and out at Mr. Francis Shaw's ex- pense, but since that time no funds have been forthcoming for this purpose until now, with the paint peeling off the exterior, and with ceilings and walls discolored from leaks in a rotting roof it stands, the too expressive symbol of a community in- different to the appearence of its public buildings.
Wayland is indeed fortunate in still having public spirited citizens. Recently through the kindness of one of Wayland's social organizations your School Committee has been able to arrange for the installation of a number of electric lights in the High School hall which are later to be supplemented by enough other lights to make of this an attractive and suitable place for school and other entertainments.
It is to be hoped that in the future the people of Wayland will be somewhat more alive than they have been in the past to the obligation of responsibility of so maintaining their High School building that its appearance may not be a source of surprise to strangers and of humiliation to themselves.
Respectfully submitted,
PHILIP S. IDE ARTHUR B. NICHOLS FRANK C. REMICK,
School Committee.
