Second .- Land was acquired for the enlargement of the city's lot on Beach street, and a contract made for the erection of a fourteen-room schoolhouse thereon. This will be the largest grammar school building in Somerville, and one of the best ever erected. The contractor is making good progress

ANNUAL REPORTS.
with his work, and the external walls are already up and the building roofed in. There is no reason to doubt that it will be ready for occupancy at the beginning of the school year in September. The edifice is to bear the name of Martin W. Carr, a gentleman who has rendered long and distinguished service on our school board and in other public positions. It will meet a long-felt want, and relieve the school congestion in the Spring-hill district. The contract price of the building, including heating apparatus and architect's fees, is about $52,000.
Third .- New sanitary appliances of the most approved character were placed in the Jacob T. Glines school, at a cost of about $1,200.
Fourth .- About $2,500 was expended in alterations of the Latin high school building, and it is now in excellent condition throughout.
Fifth .- The apartments in the English High school, for- merly occupied as offices by the Superintendent of Schools, were changed into a classroom, with a seating capacity for fifty- two pupils. The cost of the alteration is about $500.
I beg to submit the following recommendations as to the erection of new school buildings the present year :-
First .- At the earliest period practicable, a suitable lot should be purchased in the Prospect-hill district, south of the Fitchburg railroad, and plans procured for a six-room school- house to be erected thereon. The work should be prosecuted with the utmost diligence, so as to insure the completion of the building, if possible, before the beginning of the next school year. The schools in the Prospect-hill district are crowded, and relief has already been too long delayed.
Second .- Another six-room building must be erected at some point in the West Somerville district where it will relieve the congestion in the Highland and Burns schools. The School Committee believe that the most favorable location is on Fred- erick avenue, not far from its intersection with Willow avenue. In this opinion I concur, as the growth of school population in that section of the city is very rapid, and the vacant lands of
65
MAYOR'S INAUGURAL ADDRESS.
the Ayer estate are likely soon to be covered with dwelling houses.
Action cannot be too prompt and energetic in providing additional school accommodations in a city like ours, where the increase of population goes on with great rapidity from year to year.
At present 525 pupils are attending school on four-hour time. · Such a state of affairs is indeed deplorable, and the wel- fare of our children demands that heroic measures be adopted to bring about better conditions. I ask you not to wait until mid-summer before taking steps toward the erection of needed school buildings, as has been done so often in the past, but to proceed at once to acquire the land and procure plans and specifications for the work.
Not many extensive alterations and repairs of old build- ings will be called for the present year, but the heating and ventilating system of the Prescott school should be perfected. It is gratifying to know that, in the main, our schoolhouses are in good condition, and compare favorably with those in other cities. Unusual attention has been given in recent years to the interior of our school buildings, and no reasonable expense has been spared to make them convenient, comfortable, and healthful. The wisdom of this course must be manifest to all, for rooms in which the youth of the city spend so many years should be suggestive of cleanliness, good order, and artistic taste. In the education of boys and girls much depends upon proper environment, and the after-life of the pupil will be in- fluenced, for good or ill, by the nature of his surroundings while attending the public schools. I trust every parent in Somerville will read the earnest and eloquent statements, con- tained in the recent masterly report of the Superintendent of Schools, as to the elevating influence upon the character of pupils of schoolrooms provided with tasteful and harmonious decorations.
I have been pleased lately to learn that the teachers in our high schools are taking a direct interest in the athletic sports of the pupils. Much of the best development and training of
66
ANNUAL REPORTS.
the boy is received in the hours of recreation, and it is well that the violent physical exercise of the playground should be in a measure under the watchful eye of the teacher. In this way the standard of athletic contests will be raised and many injuri- ous excesses avoided. Out-door exercise is indispensable to the health of our young men and women, but, like all other good things, is susceptible of abuse, and thousands have had their lives wrecked by too rough and violent sport.
The enlargement of the English high school building can- not be much longer put off. It is likely to be tested to its full capacity at the beginning of the next school year. It may be deemed advisable to procure plans and estimates of cost the present year, as a guide to future action. The manual train- ing department adds considerably to the cost of carrying on the English high school, but the instruction imparted is believed to be of the most direct utility. The pupil is taught to make intelligent use of hand, and eye, and brain, to know the proper- ties and value of matter, to measure and apply mechanical forces, to evolve symmetrical and beautiful forms.
The following school statistics may be of interest to the City Council and to the general public :- At the present time we have in our public schools 375 more pupils than one year ago. The present valuation of school property is $953,800. The salaries of school teachers in 1897 reached the aggregate of $175,514.92. The total cost of day and evening schools last year was $223,272.72, while the entire expenditure for all school purposes reached the somewhat formidable aggregate of $290,400.41. More than one-half of one per cent. of the entire taxable valuation of the city is expended annually for school purposes. The average per capita cost of maintaining the high schools last year was $56.02; of the grammar and primary schools, $22.87.
RETIREMENT OF SELWYN Z. BOWMAN, CITY SOLICITOR.
In the month of August of last year, the Honorable Sel- wyn Z. Bowman handed in his resignation as City Solicitor. The resignation was accepted by the City Council when it
67
MAYOR'S INAUGURAL ADDRESS.
became known that Mr. Bowman could not be induced to reconsider his action. For many years Mr. Bowman had served the city as its legal adviser and solicitor with patience, intelligence, and fidelity. I think it will be generally con- ceded that no other man has had so large a share in framing the ordinances and shaping the organic law of the city. Very much of the success and prosperity of Somerville as a munici- pality has been due to the skill and acumen of its able ex-solicitor, Mr. Bowman. He held himself at all times in readiness to give the best of his wise counsel to members of the city government and other public officials. Every question submitted to him was investigated with scrupulous care and untiring zeal, and when once he had pronounced an opinion it was accepted as the decision of one of the most eminent authorities on municipal law. His standing as a lawyer and his reputation as a man enabled him to settle many cases without resort to the courts, and large sums of money were thus saved to the city. His services before legislative com- mittees and state and county commissioners were of the high- est value to Somerville, and public officials listened to him with the respect which is always paid to a man who has gained complete mastery of the topic which he discusses.
It would be impossible to measure the loss sustained by a city in parting with the services of such a man. For a paltry salary he gave to the people of Somerville labors which, if de- voted to private practice, would have yielded him much larger returns. To his credit let it be recorded that he scorned to purchase a re-election by the compromise of a single moral conviction or the sacrifice of the humblest prerogative of pri- vate citizenship. Much more might be truthfully and appro- priately spoken at this time. My sense of what is due to a high-minded official, who has given the best years of his life to the public service, forbids that I should say less.
CONCLUSION.
And now, Gentlemen of the City Council, having con- sidered some of the more prominent topics with which you
68
ANNUAL REPORTS.
will be compelled to deal, I ask you to join with me in giving to the citizens who have so highly honored us the best service of which we are capable. In all your deliberations and undertaking's you will have the benefit of the wisdom and experience of the salaried officials who have served the city for long terms of years with such marked fidelity and zeal. Their counsel you may at all times freely invoke. Speaking with absolute sincerity, and with no desire to indulge in mere conventional praise, I will say that no city was ever more highly favored than our own in the character of its executive officers.
It seems nothing less than a sacred duty to make frank confession of my indebtedness to the gentlemen who, in the past, have so generously aided me in the discharge of impor- tant official duties. Heavy, indeed, is my obligation to the City Treasurer, City Clerk, Clerk of Committees, City Messen- ger, City Engineer, and their assistants, who have rendered me so many kindly services. Very little could I have accom- plished without their generous aid. May the day be far dis- tant when the city of Somerville shall drop from its service-roll one of these faithful, honest men. There are many other officials and employees to whom I would gladly pay a like tribute if time permitted. I have mentioned only those with whom I have been brought into almost daily contact.
The peculiar character of our city should be considered in determining what is the best policy to be pursued in municipal legislation. We have not many manufacturing industries with- in our borders, and our commercial interests are not of marked importance. Primarily, Somerville is a city of homes, and all measures which tend to make it safer and pleasanter as a resi- dential community should be zealously promoted. Our educa- tional institutions must be maintained at their present high standard, and enlarged and extended to meet the requirements of the growing wisdom and experience of the age. Our streets and sidewalks should be kept clean and in good repair, so as to make them safe for vehicular travel and comfortable for pedes- trians. We should strive to exclude from our territory every agency and influence calculated to pervert the morals or corrupt the manners of the people.

MAYOR'S INAUGURAL ADDRESS.
Proper performance of your official duties will make seri- ous inroads upon your time and ceaseless demands upon your abilities. Your only recompense will be found in the grateful appreciation of your constituents, and your own consciousness of faithful, honest service rendered to the city whose welfare is so dear to us all. You are not to look upon public office as a bureau for the disbursement of favors to friends, or a whip- ping-post for the scourging of enemies. You are to legislate for the best interests of all the people, and for the improvement and advancement of the entire city.
If you, who stand in the public eye as the official representa- tives of Somerville, are jealous of her honor and active in pro- moting the well-being of the people, your example will be an inspiration and guide to the great body of citizens in private life, stimulating them to intelligent and disinterested service in the city's behalf.
