In accordance with a vote taken at the last annual town meet- ing the assessors have procured an excellent map of the villages of Thorndike and Bondsville, the work of William H. Brainerd, civil engineer.
We recommend that a similar map of the village of Three Rivers be obtained during the coming year which we are advised can be had at a cost approximating $350.

C. A. LEGRO,
Board of Health.
The Board of Health respectfully submits the following report for the year 1909 :
During the past year diphtheria and measles have been more prevalent than other contagious diseases reported. Only one case of tuberculosis was reported to the board in the past year. The board wishes to call the attention of the physicians and inhabitants of the town to the law requiring that cases of tuberculosis shall be reported. A number of deaths were reported of tuberculosis to the board. The Thorndike Co. has in the process of construction a source of water supply, which it is hoped will furnish the inhabi- tants of Thorndike with pure drinking water.
The board again calls the attention of the voters for the construction of a sewer to the carpet mill to do away with the Tenneyville pond nuisance. The board recommends an appropria- tion of $500 for use of the board in addition to the salaries.
The following is the report of contagious diseases :

REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN FOR THE YEAR ENDING MARCH 1, 1910.
My third annual report as librarian of your association is here- with presented.
The past year has been a successful one for the library in that it has rendered a greater service than ever before.
In history, science, government and in encyclopaedic knowledge valuable additions have been made. Juvenile literature has been added and the library now has a good juvenile department.
The anticipation of establishing branches of the library at Thorndike and Bondsville was not realized on account of not being able to secure a place which would serve as a reading room as well as a repository for books. During the coming year, however, I have reason to believe that such a reading room will be established in each of those villages. We shall then be able, with the same appropriation as last year, to serve the whole town well with the library.
The library was kept open on Sunday from 3.30 to 6 p. m. and from 7 to 8 p. m., from the first of March to the middle of July. The total attendance was 220, an average of eleven persons per Sunday. The attendance, however, was large at the beginning and very small toward the end, so small in fact that further con- tinuance of the plan then was not warranted.
This year the library will be open on Sundays at the same hours as last year beginning November first and will continue as long as the attendance justifies it. Books, magazines and newspapers will be provided for all who may wish to avail themselves of the opportunity.

Report of the School Committee.
To the Citizens of Palmer :
In compliance with the statutes of the Commonwealth, the School Committee submits its annual report for the year ending March 1, 1910; this being the sixtieth in the series of such reports of the Palmer School Committee.
The general condition of our schools is steadily improving, and we believe that the last increase of the teachers' salaries plays no small part in this improvement of conditions. The strongest, most efficient corps of teachers obtainable will help very materially in bringing our schools to the front rank in practicable work accom- plished. To continue this improvement it is highly necessary to keep the salaries of teachers at a point that will prevent other towns from taking them from Palmer at higher salaries.
We again call your attention to the need of means with which to begin manual training and commercial work in our schools. We believe that if courses in these two branches were included in the curriculum a much larger per cent of our grade pupils would attend the High School and would graduate much better equipped to begin work in the various vocations of life.
In accordance with your instructions, the Forest Lake school was opened at the beginning of the school year with an attendance of 26. The building has been repaired at an expense of $181.57.
It was found that the Bondsville grammar school building was sadly in need of repairs and your committee, therefore, had the building painted both inside and outside, steel ceilings having first been placed in four of the schoolrooms. This building is now in first-class condition and will need very little repairing for some time to come. Running water has been installed in the Wire Mill school building, the root shingled and the schoolroom freshly painted.

The overcrowding in grades 2 and 3 in Thorndike and the 1st grade in Three Rivers necessitated the opening of another room in each building and securing a teacher for each room. This required the purchase of a complete outfit of desks and chairs for pupils and desks for the teachers. In order to provide for this extra room in the Three Rivers building, a temporary burlap partition was extended across the assembly hall, but as this room is likely to be needed permanently, a permanent partition will need to be made during the coming year at a cost of say, $200.
We invite your careful attention to the Superintendent's report, which is made a part of this report.
