Report of the Board of Health.
The Board of Health respectfully presents to the Town of Lincoln, its third annual report.
At the last annual town meeting, the membership of the Board remained unchanged and the organization of the previous year was continued through the year 1897.
This Board has held seven regular meetings for consideration of matters pertinent to the public health ; also, numerous casual meetings of its members, upon premises to which attention had heen called.
Opportunity for a public hearing upon any and all matters rightfully claiming the attention of this Board | was presented on the 10th of May, but no complaints were then offered.
At the reasonable request of the Board of Health of the City of Cambridge, the Lincoln Board visited the premises of sundry milk producers, who sold their product in Cambridge, and reported upon the conditions found.
Complaint reached this Board in August from the Board of Health of the adjoining town of Weston, protesting against an intolerable nuisance, emanating from a slaughter-house in the south part of Lincoln. Investigation showed a want of due care in the disposition of putrid offal which had accumulated under the slaughter-house, and was exposed uncovered, upon the ground, for an unnecessary length of time. The proprietor was cautioned, against a repetition of the fault, and no further complaint has been received from that source. In this connection, however, this Board would suggest, as of great importance to the public health, that all slaughter-houses should be permitted only under the license and surveilance of the State Board of Police.
Complaints also reached this Board from the vicinity of a swine-farm, on the Weston road, and the proprietor was ordered to remove the swine from his barn-cellar and thoroughly cleanse the same, which having been done, no further complaint was received from that point.
Much of the offence from these swine-farms, is due to the feed- ing of city swill to the herds, which has been permitted quite as
107
long as the public ought to suffer from it; and as such feeding is prohibited in our adjoining towns, this Board considers it a duty to forbid its further use. No citizen should be deprived of the right to breathe pure air however profitable it may be to keep swine ; yet if one neglects to defend his right by complaint to this Board, he must suffer the consequences.
The pre-eminent importance of pure air and pure water in the maintenance of the health of individuals and communities, can- not be over estimated; if either are impure, they are unaccept- able to a normal nature, which will refuse to admit of either by breathing or drinking as much as is needful for the maintenance of the highest degree of health. The result of this privation is an accumulation of "self-produced poisons," which would be prevented by a sufficient supply of both, which would be relished and used in their purity.
Of infectious diseases (so classed) our record shows a single case of typhoid-fever in the month of March, a solitary case of diphtheria, six cases of scarlet-fever of a mild type, and thirty- three cases of measles ; the last of all was reported on the eighth of June. Recovery resulted in every case.
As indicative of the general healthfulness of our town, this Board has deemed it advisable to summarize the average age of all who have died in Lincoln within the last ten years, including the year 1897. This average is found to be 48.8 years. The highest average for any year is 56, for the year 1889. The low- est is 40 years in 1894. The last year being next to the highest, is 55 years.
Our average population for the last ten years has been about 1,000. (Census of 1895, 1,111.) The whole number of deaths in this period was 147, giving an average of 14.7 per thousand, per year; or about two-thirds the death rate of the larger cities in this Commonwealth.
In conclusion, this Board would suggest as a duty which every citizen owes to himself and the community in which he lives, to promptly report to this Board all causes worthy of complaint in which disregard of public right to pure air and pure water is manifest.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
As required by a statute of the Commonwealth, the School Committee respectfully submit a report of the executive department of the school management for the year 1897 ; the appended report of the Superintendent being a summary of the progress, condition and requirements of the instruc- tive administration of the schools of the Town.
We have occasion to report a change in the membership of the Board by the retirement of Mr. George Flint, and the election of Mr. Francis R. Jones. We feel constrained to kindly refer to the many years of conscientious labor in behalf of the schools, rendered the Town by the retiring member.
Notwithstanding a somewhat divided opinion on the part. of the citizens as to the feasibility of employing a skilled superintendent, your Committee feel it to be a cause for congratulation that Mr. McKenney was retained.
The transfer of Miss Nellie M. Newton, and the resigna- tion of Miss Marion H. Morgan, rendered it necessary to. supply a new corps of teachers for the South School. The vacancies were filled by the election of Miss Bessie F. Moore for the grammar department, and Miss Hattie B. Heath for the primary. The Committee have only words of commendation and approval of the methods of the new organization, both as regards discipline and general school instruction.
The management of the Centre School remains under the direction of Miss Chapin and Miss Sawin, with the assist- ance of Miss Newton in the primary department, - a vacancy having been made by the resignation of Miss Lizzie Chapin, who had filled the position satisfactorily for a short. period during the Spring term. To say that affairs in this.
122
school have been conducted with more than usual smooth- ness and efficiency in all of its branches, is but simple justice done the instructors ; their previous yearly election being a guarantee of the value of past services. We should not lose sight of the fact, however, that a more profitable adminstra- tion of the responsible duties might be conducted, and to the advantage of the whole school, were the existing con- ditions more favorable to a proper classification.
