The pupil, by making his own scales of tones and com- paring the result with a standard scale has obtained a much more definite knowledge of tone relations.
There is urgent need for better accommodation for draw- ing in the high school.
The plan of dividing the school into two classes was tried at the begining of the school year and has proved an advan- tage in some ways.
The best work cannot be done, however, until the class in drawing can hold it's sessions in a room by itself. The fact that another class is either studying or reciting in the same room while the drawing lesson is in progress, makes the pu- pils more or less inattentive, teaching difficult and the re- sults generally unsatisfactory.
Drawings are required of the pupils from time to time, by the chemistry, botany, geology and literature teachers as well as in mathematics, and it seems essential that the high school pupil should learn to express his thoughts accurately by means of brush or pencil.

SCHOOL REPORT.
A few more books for the use of the teachers and some good pictures and casts for the school rooms are much needed.
The greater part of the child's life through its most im- pressionable years, from five to fifteen, is spent in the school room. It is important then to surround him with such books and pictures as will give him a broad outlook, and stimulate his mind to further search after knowledge and also to edu- cate his tastes.
Many children leave school at the age of fifteen, and the begginings which are made in the way of opening his mind to the meaning of life and the privilege of becoming the best man or woman possible, determines his position in society and the amount of after usefulness which shall be his.

Supervisor of Drawing.

SCHOOL REPORT.
REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC.
Mr. Geo. Chickering, Superintendent of Schools :
Dear Sir :- The outline of work in Music as given in the School Report 1901, has been carried out so far as prac- ticable. Individual work has been faithfully done in the low- er grades ; if this plan is continued and insisted upon, I see no reason, why, in the future, pupils in all grades, may not be able and willing to respond in an intelligent manner.
Special attention has been given, by some of the grade teachers in tone quality, with pleasing results. If the teachers are able to get the pupils to give a sweet musical quality of tone, in the daily music lesson, it's influence is felt. Pupils learn to see the beauty of it, and by this method good habits of voice production are established. It helps in the reading lesson. "A well modulated voice is of untold advantage to its possessor." The written and copy work has been neatly and correctly done.
The committee has purchased new Music Readers for several of our grades, and many of the old ones were rebound and repaired during the summer vaction. Purchases of "Co- da" and "Octavo" editions have been placed in the high school from time to time.
This addition of material was very much needed, and proved a valuable incentive for better work. Two of the "First Series of Charts" were taken from the village to the
29
SCHOOL REPORT.
schools at Bear Hill and Birch Meadow. Satisfactory work is being done in both places.
I am pleased to note that the teahers have not only exhibit- ed a willingness to conform to any outline I might present to them ; but a desire to interpret and teach it in an interesting way, that the effect would be lasting. I wish to emphasize what I have said very many times. We should aim to corre- late music with the other branches taught in our school. By so doing we illustrate the truth of the old proverb, "In union there is strength." "And only as the teachers feel the unity in the diversity of subjects taught, and the child unconsciously absorbs the idea, can the greatest good be realized."
Respectfully,
M. EVA ROBINSON.

ANNUAL REPORT OF
THE BOARD OF ENGINEERS,
MERRIMAC FIRE DEPARTMENT.
MERRIMAC, MASS., FEB. Ist, 1902.
To the Board of Selectmen and Citizens of Merrimac :
The Board of Engineers of the Merrimac Fire Depart- ment submit the following report for the year ending on the above date:
The following fires have occurred during the year :
July 4, 1901, an alarm from Box 15 called the Dept. to the building occupied by the Wheel and Gear Co. as a store- room, where a lively blaze was in progress, the fire had ap- parently caught in the horse-sheds and worked its way to the upper story of the main building, where it was finally sub- dued. Loss ($400) four hundred dollars on building, no insurance, ($200) two hundred dollars on stock, partially insured.
In the morning of the 18th of August the building owned and occupied by Moses Blotner on what is known as the new-road, was totally distroyed by fire with all its contents, including, two cows. As these buildings were a long dis-
3İ
ENGINEERS' REPORT.
tance from the center, in an isolated part of the town, the Department was not notified until the following day. Loss ($1200) twelve hundred dollars, insurance ($1200) twelve hundred dollars.
September 9, 1901, an alarm from Box 12 called the Department to a. fire in the building owned and occupied by J. H. Murphy as a plating shop, the fire was quickly under control with a loss of ($400) four hundred dollars on build- ings and ($600) on stock, mostly water damage, fully in- sured.
November 15, 1901, an alarm from Box 32 at 11.30 a. m. called the Department to the house owned and occupied by Frank Bailey, Merrimacport. The company responded promptly, but could do nothing, as there was no water with- in reach. Loss on buldings and contents ($Soo) eight hun- dred dollars, insurance ($500) five hundred dollars.
The apparatus is all in good condition at present, we have had the Steamer painted and varnished which it badly needed, and have had a pair of rear wheels and axles put on ths hose wagon.
We have also added two chemicals to the Department, and had the drive-way concreted and graded up in front of the engine-house which improves the general appearance of the building.
The fire alarm system worked satisfactory the past year, with the exception of an occasional break in the wire, which is getting old and will need a general over hauling in the spring. There has been one change in the location of boxes, which is Box 32 which is now located at the residence of L. B. Blaisdell, Merrimac street, Merrimacport.
We have one thousand feet of hose in the department, which is unfit for further service in its present condition, as
32
ENGINEERS' REPORT.
the lining is completely rotted out. This is a good double jacket cotton hose and can practically be made as good as new by relining which will cost 25 cents per foot which would be less then half the cost of a new hose of this quality.
In accordance with the action of the town, whereby the citizens voted to disband the Mcclellan hand engine con- pany, the engineers properly notified them, and the vote went into immediate effect. We would also state that with the approval of the Board of Engineers, that the company kindly consented to serve the town as a volunteer company, where in any case in the judgment of the engineers the emergencies re- quire their services, they to receive 25 cents per hour, per man and the department to furnish fuel and light for their quarters.
While the engineers have authority to call on a man or a body of men for assistance in case of fire and pay them for such service, still it was with considerable hesitation that we entered into and arrangement wherein the town paid for any- thing but actual fire service from the company. But if we over-stepped our authority any in this matter it was through onr desire to keep in commission an engine that when prop- erly maned as it is at present, since the restriction as to mem- bership has been removed, is as capable of giving as good fire service as it ever was. While we all must admit that a hand engine is behind the times as a fire-fighting machine, when compared to the modern steam fire engine, still we think that the citizens should consider that it is the only re- serve that they have and there may come a time when even a depsised hand-tub may be of invaluable service, for if it should happen that at a critical time the steamer should go wrong, which is possible, it might prove rather a serious af-
33
ENGINEERS' REPORT.
fair, if they did not have even a hand engine which would be available. We also feel as though the citizens should appre- ciate the fact that they have a body of men that is always ready and willing when called on to serve the town in one of the most dangerous of all vocations.
This in the face of severe criticism, the unkindest of all from past masters of the art from whom we expect better things, as they well know this disadvantageusness that coun- try fire Departments has to labor under.
We hope the citizens can commend our action in this matter until such times, as the conditions will warrant better arrangement for protection from fire.
Although this department starts the new year free of debt, and with a substantial balance on hand, it was through the strictest economy, and not because we could not use the surplus to good effect in needed repairs, in the engine house. After carefully considering the expenses of this department for the coming year, we would recommend that the sum of $1500 be appropriated for the expenses of the fire depart- ment for the ensuing year.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE
MERRIMAC PUBLIC LIBRARY.
To the Board of Selectmen :
With the passing of another year, we present through you to the citizens, the twenty-sixth annual report of the Mer- rimac Public Library.
The rooms have been open during the year 94 times, and a total of 9,663 books put into circulation, with an average daily delivery of 103, the largest in one day being 190. The following is the record by months : February, 1901, 901 ; March, 1172 ; April, 955 ; May, 929; June, 920; July, 630; September, 665 ; October, 873 ; November, 949; December, 787, January, 1902, 882.
There has been purchased by the Trustees SS books, pre- sented by the Commonwealth and U. S. Government 16, and by the Budget a year's file of that paper, making 105 addi- tions in all.
The increased use of the reference room, by the public seeking information, goes to show that it's benefits are appre- ciated.
Since our last annual report we have been called upon to part with two who for upwards of twenty years were members of the Board of Trustees.
George O. Goodwin, who, until illness prevented, was always in attendance at our meetings and interested himself in

all that pertained to the welfare of the Library, and Daniel J. Poore, who during his term of service was Secretary of the Board. Mr. Poore was closely identified with all the growth and improvement of the Library, and took more than common interest in whatever would make the institution a public bene- fit, his advice and help will be much missed by the Trustees in the coming years.
By the will of the late James Whittier, a legacy was left to the town for the benefit of the Library, by which we came into posession of a dwelling house on Nichols Street, we have thoroughly repaired and painted it at considerable expense and it is now rented, promising fair return which in the future may be available in the purchase of books, in accord with the wishes expressed by Mr. Whittier in his will.
The new catalogue issued a few years ago is meeting all our expectations and the system of numbering is all that is claimed for it. A bulletin of the books added since the cata- logue was published will be issued early during the coming year.
The usual appropriation of $500. is respectfully asked for that we may keep the Library up to it's high standard and make such additions and improvents as the future demands.

REPORT OF TREE WARDEN.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Voters of Merrimac :
No appropriation was made last year, or the year before, for the use of tree warden. An appeal was made to the Board of Selectmen last spring, for a sum certain for the year's work that should be done this year. They declined to name any specified amount, thought it better to go ahead with the work and bring in the bills.
Under this arrangement they could stop the warden's work any day. The law evidently was not enacted for this purpose, or it would not have been made. Seeing no other way to carry out the wishes of the voters, this system was adopted, and as little work has been done as was possible to answer all calls and attend to urgent cases.
It would cost $200. to put the street's and road's trees in the condition they should be, and from $50. to $100. to keep them so, each year. The longer it is put off the more it will cost.
I hope the voters will sustain the warden if an Article is in the warrant, this coming meeting, for a specified amount for his use. Tree trimming is hard work, and good men adapted to it, hard to get.
The trees on the following streets have been trimmed or removed. Merrimacport and Landing, Merrimac, Locust, Main, Greenwood, Forest, Prospect, Nichols, Church, Me-
