RECREATION COMMISSION
REPORT OF THE SOMERVILLE RECREATION COMMISSION. FOR THE YEAR 1930
To The Honorable The Mayor and The Board of Aldermen of Somerville :-
Gentlemen :-
The annual report of the Recreation Commission for the year, 1930, is herewith submitted.
The Commission was set up by municipal ordinance De- cember 21, 1917. The first report printed was that for the year 1919. In the absence of evidence of any report for the year, 1918, the present report must be regarded as the twelfth in the series.
Not since the institution of the commission has there been' a year of so much significance in the history of the Recrea- tion movement in this City. It has witnessed the emergence of the commission from its stage of youthful groping toward the expression of inarticulate ideal into a working agency of real civic power. It is still youthful; it is still trying out its growing strength and skill; but it is buoyant with hope. and confidence, and thoroughly convinced that it has a real and attainable objective in community betterment and in the dissemination of the principles of good citizenship.
Coincident with the new awakening have accured certain events that justify the word, "significant." Let us consider them in orderly review.
The political revolution of the 1929 election brought to the direction of the political affairs of the city a group of men, and more particularly a mayor, committed to a different theory of municipal government from that which had previous- ly so long prevailed. The tenets of this school of politics that most intimately effect the conduct of the Recreation Com- mission are the greater liberality of expenditure, and a more paternal attitude toward the big family of resident citizens. The program of municipally controlled public Recreation came
242
ANNUAL REPORTS
into its own, and the Commission was in the hands of its friends. The effect was at once apparent. The appropriation was more than doubled. The years of faith in things not seen were now succeeded by the substance, and by promise of still better things to come.
The first act of the Commission after the newly appoint- ed members had qualified was to effect a compact, practical organization with regulated methods of procedure. A set of By-laws was adopted that provided for Officers, Standing Com- mittees, regular monthly meetings, and a systematic program of conducting business. The standing committees thus exper- imentally established are as follows: On Public Demonstra- tions, On Annual "Round-Up", On Grounds and Equipment, On Program and Personnel. The Personnel of the board of Officers and of the Committees will be found at the beginning of this report.
The prospective expansion of our activities made neces- sary the immediate full-time services of a Director. The Com- mission was glad to express by unanimous action its approval of the faithful work of Mr. Francis J. Mahoney, previously Director on part-time, by offering him full-time, regular ap- pointment at a salary suitable to the responsibilities and cx- actions of the position. Mr. Mahoney has been tireless in his devotion to the up-building of an efficient staff of Recreation workers, the development of a program in accord with the most approved methods, of the day, and the tactful leading of his supervising Commission along paths that have led to a better understanding of our common objectives.
With an increased appropriation the Commission has been able to take the first steps in an expansion that may be sum- marized under the following categories :
1. Increase of staff with better pay, increased stability of tenure of experienced workers, and acquisition of the services of experts in certain highly specialized fields.
·
2. Increase in the number and variety of activities.
3 Increase in the number of recreation centers.
4. Expansion to a year-round program.
5. Extension of program to include adult population.
Furthermore the Commission has been able this year for the first time to send the Director to the Annual Congress of the National Recreation Association. The inspiration derived
243
RECREATION COMMISSION
from contact with numbers of enthusiastic workers, and the information as to latest and best methods, brought back, have been in a gratifying degree passed on to the staff and trans- muted into better opportunities for Somerville citizens. Thus the reasonable expenditure involved has been amply justified.
The annual "Round-Up" initiated last year was repeat- ed with some additional features. The purpose of this enter- prise is twofold. The members of the Commission are en- trusted with a real responsibility which in its details is car- ried out by a considerable number of employes under the su- pervision of the Director. With the exception of the Director those agents of the Commission are sometimes almost unknown to the Commission. The first purpose of the "Round-Up" is to give an opportunity for the members of the Commission and the working staff to become better acquainted. In addi- tion this gathering provides an agency whereby professional opinions, and methods and accomplishments of the great coun- trywide Recreation movement, may be brought to the atten- tion of both Commission and staff.
