CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS' REPORT
During 1926 three additional Funds have been re- ceived for perpetual care, as follows:
From Mrs. Sarah Loker Moulton, One Hundred Dol- lars for perpetual care of the Wesley Loker lot, to be known as the "Sarah Loker Moulton" Fund.
From Mrs. Fannie Meserve, One Hundred Dollars for perpetual care of a lot in Lake View Cemetery, to be known as the "Joseph Moore" Fund.
From Mrs. Lizzie B .. Folsom, Mrs. Gertrude D. Healey, Mrs. Emma D. Wellington and Leonard D. Drap- er, Two Hundred Dollars for perpetual care of the Leon- ard H. Drury lots, to be known as the "Abby H. Drury" Fund.
There was also received from the National Shawmut Bank of Boston One Hundred Dollars as the balance of Four Hundred Dollars left by the late Wallace S. Draper for perpetual care of certain lots in the North Cemetery.
The above amounts have been invested, by the Town Treasurer, in U. S. Liberty Bonds. To date the Perpetual Care Funds amount to $13,350.00.
The Cemetery Commissioners hope the Citizens of Wayland will give serious consideration to the possibility of laying one line of water pipe from the entrance of the North Cemetery on the Sudbury Road through the old part and through the Extension with a few faucets and connecting same with the New water supply.
At present the only source of supply is from one hand pump in the center of the Old part of the North Cemetery which means a long walk for owners of lots in the North Cemetery Extension who desire water for their lots.

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
Town of Wayland,
Wayland, Mass.
The School Committee herewith brings to your at- tention reports as follows :
Superintendent of Schools Principal of High Schools
School Physician School Nurse
and believe that they will prove interesting reading.
Mr. Benedict's report on the possibility of needing an extra room in the Cochituate school will indicate to you the growth in that school, and it is well for us that we have this additional room at this time, and wish we might be as well favored in the High School, as you will note from Mr. Allen's report that we are going to be crowded. This matter deserves careful thought for the future.
We have from time to time mentioned the need of proper facilities for giving the school children proper physical training, and believe the only way to success- fully solve this problem is for us to have a suitable build- ing on the playground. It would seem a mistake to at- tempt to change over the basement in the High School for this purpose, as it would only be a make-shift at the best.
The question of vocational work for boys is also important and should have our careful consideration.
Dr. Sparks's report on the health of the children is well brought out, and if the parents or guardians will co-operate with the school authorities in these matters. we believe that beneficial results will follow and that the physical condition of the children will be brought up nearer to normal. While we know the question of ex-
173
pense is a serious one, still we feel that in most cases the defects can be corrected without unduly burdening the parents. We believe that the effort to do this work will well repay our people.
Mrs. McNeil's report will indicate to you the co-op- eration between the School Physician and the School Nurse, and in these two departments we believe the Town is getting good returns on its investment.
We were very sorry to lose one of our members, Mrs. Bond, whose death occurred on November 2nd. Dur- ing her service on the School Board she was always willing to do her best, and gave a great deal of time and thought to her duties, and it was a great pleasure to work with a committee member who always stood for thet best interests of the school.
On November 22nd, Mr. Ernest W. Schleicher was appointed to fill out the unexpired term of Mrs. Bond, in a joint meeting of the Board of Selectmen and the School Committee.
Respectfully submitted,
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
Paul B. Davis, Chairman Llewellyn Mills, Secretary Ernest W. Schleicher
