TOWN OF LINCOLN
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE LINCOLN LIBRARY
The Trustees submit herewith the reports of the Trea- surer and the Librarian for the year ending December 31, 1939.
During the past year the wall of the Librarian's room has been repaired and the room painted. The only ex- traordinary repairs that we plan for 1940 are the re- placement of the two windows on either side of the front door and the renewal of the copper valley on the roof. It is estimated that these will cost about sixty- five dollars.
During the past year we requested the Garden Club to help in the planning of new planting to replace the trees ruined by the hurricane and for additional trees or shrubs which might be of decorative value. The Gar- den Club appointed a committee which drew up a com- prehensive plan for the care of existing trees and the planting of new ones, and at the same time donated fifty dollars towards the expense of the planting. Due to this generosity, part of their plan was carried out during the year. The existing trees were pruned and fed, stumps removed, and new trees planted. This spring we plan to carry out the planting around the foundation of the building. The Garden Club has also contributed much to the attractiveness of the interior by the arrangement of flowers under the direction of Mrs. Edward F. Flint.
The exhibits from the De Cordova museum continue to be of great interest as were those loaned by Mr. Rus- sell G. Crook and Miss Mary Russ.
The Library has received the gift of a fund of $144.00 given in memory of Hugh Anthony Gaskill by friends of his family, to be used for the purchase of children's books.
The Trustees wish to express their gratitude to the above for their generosity as well as to the following who

TOWN OF LINCOLN
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
The accompanying Financial Summary shows that our General School expenditures for 1939 totalled $39,604.14 against an estimated $40,850, the unexpected balance being largely accounted for by withdrawals from high school and consequent saving in tuition payments. The Vocational Education account shows an unexpended bal- ance of $366.51, and the final cost of the Center School fire escapes was $3,273.26 or $201.74 less than the $3,475 appropriation for that purpose. Thus, the total 1939 gross expenditures for all school purposes totalled $44,- 160.89 in contrast with the total appropriation of $45,975, leaving $1,814.11 returnable to the Town treasury.
After crediting all reimbursements and revenues from the State and other outside sources, the net cost to the Town of all schools for the year 1939 was $37,718.04, or about $127 per pupil.
The General School expenses for the year 1940 are estimated at $39,375 in contrast with the $40,850 budget for the year just passed. It will be seen from the Finan- cial Summary that the 1940 allowance for High School tuition is very much below normal. This is accounted for by a change in Concord's billing practice, effective Sept. 1, 1940, which requires a smaller advance tuition pay- ment in the fall and a correspondingly larger payment after Dec. 31 in each year. This tuition item will again become normal in 1941.
The year 1939 saw the extension of bus transportation to Sandy Pond Road, where eleven children are carried, and also marked the addition of a sound movie projector to our classroom equipment. One set of standard metal swings was added to the playground equipment at the Center School.
Maintenance work for 1940 will be expanded some- what in order to avoid larger accumulations in later
115
REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
years. Some of the major items at the Center School are weather stripping, painting of cornice, stair repairs, and grading, while at the South School the items will include linoleum for classroom floors, as well as certain grading and drainage work around the building. 1940 will see the addition of considerable new playground equipment at both schools, including modern swings and teeter boards at the South School, together with another swing set and a second clay court on the Center School grounds.
After thorough consideration the school committee has decided to fulfill the long felt need for a Remedial or helping teacher in our schools. A teacher having special qualifications and training will be hired for the beginning of the fall term, and will function throughout the grades doing remedial work among the pupils in order to assist each grade to progress smoothly as a unit. In order to determine the effectiveness as well as the practical work- ing out of such a teaching aid, it has been concluded that during the first year a part-time program involving only about half the cost of a teaching salary will be utilized. The 1940 budget contains $304 as the September to Jan- uary allowance for this purpose.
The Parent-Teachers Association has continued to function in a very constructive capacity, its largest pro- ject of the past year being a most successful summer playground program which extended over six weeks, in- volved two paid instructors, and reached well over 100 children of the town between the ages of 8 and 18 years.
The Superintendent and his able staff of teachers have this year given the parents more opportunity for seeing the inside of the school through the scheduling of several daytime meetings at which the parents of an individual grade were invited into the classroom for an hour of social and business discussion.
116
TOWN OF LINCOLN
The Committee is well aware of the importance of a full and mutual understanding among taxpayer, parent, teacher and school authorities, and it is felt that over the past year these relationships have been unusually pleasant.

Miss Emma E. Goulart, who had taught arithmetic and art in our elementary grades, resigned to be married and her place was taken in September 1939 by Miss K. Rita Neylon of Springfield.
Miss Charity E. Cannon, who had taught French for one year, did not return in September as the subject was removed from our curriculum.
Transportation
Four buses cover 105.1 miles daily in local transporta- tion and carry 211 pupils. The addition of 6.4 miles over last year is due to the addition of the "Sandy Pond Route."
Nineteen pupils walk to school.
High school transportation is provided for pupils at- tending Concord and Waltham high schools. Pupils at- tending Concord are transported by Doherty Garage and Lovell Bus Lines. Those attending Waltham are trans- ported by the Metropolitan Coach Company.
High school transportation charges are paid for two pupils attending parochial high schools. This is in con- formity with a law recently passed by the Massachusetts Legislature.
High School
The Town is now paying tuition for 62 pupils in the following schools :
Concord
52
Waltham 4
Waltham Trade 6
In this connection it might be of interest to note that from 1930 to 1939 inclusive 185 pupils have been gradua- ted from our junior high school. Three of these pupils left school after completing grade nine; four left town

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
after completing grade nine; thirteen entered Waltham Trade School; 165 entered high school.
Further analysis shows that currently about 75% of our high school pupils complete their courses and that about one-third of our high school graduates enter college.
Of the 56 pupils attending high schools 23 are sopho- mores, 16 are juniors, 17 are seniors.
Of General Interest
In September 1939 we inaugurated a series of meetings for parents and teachers. To date we have held two such meetings, September 27 and October 25. The third in the series is planned for January 10, 1940.
To each meeting we have invited the parents of the pupils in one grade. The home room teacher has welcomed the parents and the Superintendent has explained the purpose of the meeting which is to foster a better under- standing of our common problems.
Each teacher has outlined briefly the objectives in her subjects after which an opportunity has been given for questions and general discussion.
Our fifth annual "Open House" was held November 9 with 66% of the pupils represented by parents. The general theme for the evening was "Improvement in School Work."
Meeting such as the "tea meetings" or "open house" make a definite contribution to the welfare of pupils by bringing the home and the school closer to one another.
The Parent-Teacher Association has cooperated in all the above meetings by supplying and serving refresh- ments. We are grateful to them for such cooperation.
Gilbert and Sullivan's "H. M. S. PINAFORE" was presented on April 14 as our annual entertainment. We sold 449 tickets for the performance and the net profit was $41.90. The proceeds of the annual entertainment are used for the benefit of our pupils. The annual ninth grade outing to Provincetown is paid out of this fund.
One set of four swings on galvanized pipe was installed on the Center School playground during the fall term

thus making a beginning on modern play equipment.
The Bell-Howell 16mm. sound projector recently pur- chased will provide an opportunity for the use of a great number of educational films now available. The motion picture is no longer in the experimental stage as a teaching device but has demonstrated its worth in many class rooms.
I am grateful to the Committee for the cooperation ex- tended to me during the past year.
Respectfully submitted, CARL F. HOLLORAN Superintendent of Schools
