coming season may find even more of interest in the home garden, and that with the cooperation of the local grange, an exhibition of the products of these gardens may be given in the fall.
The wisdom of your committee in employing a special teacher of writing has been fully justified by the renewed in- terest of teachers and pupils in the subject, and in the excel- lent results obtained. The system taught insists that correct position, muscular relaxation, movement and speed should come first, and letter formation last. Educators are now gen- erally agreed that this is the right method in writing. A writ- ing exhibition was held at Monatiquot Hall, Nov. 28, 29 and 30. Samples of the handwriting of every pupil in Town in the elementary and grammar grades, taken when the writing was introduced, and at intervals since the introduction of the writing, showed the really remarkable development in hand- writing that this system is bringing into our schools.
We are making all efforts to develop the play instinct along the lines of normal growth, endeavoring to have all chil- dren participate, and receive the benefit of healthy action. As we carry it on the grades play by themselves, having places al- lotted for the purpose 'upon the school grounds ; thus we make reasonably sure that children of the same age and size, and usually the same strength play together.
Not only on the side of health is play to be considered, but it has a distinct intellectual value. In organized games a cer- tain alertness of mind is developed, while here are learned the great lessons of competition, and cooperation that mean so much in the after lives of the pupils. To those of us who have watched it, the spirit of fairness manifested upon the play- ground is most gratifying. It is in the proper utilization. of the play spirit that we are beginning to make progress by training inherited tendencies into the right paths of self con- trol, social good fellowship, and worthy action.
The work of the year has passed pleasantly. The gener- osity of the citizens in the appropriations of the last year has enabled your committee to give a better equipment to the schools than in years past, and thus to increase the efficiency
155
of the work. There is much to be done, however, in the way of equipment, and school furnishings to replace worn out and useless material, and to meet the demands of our rapidly growing school population. There is no doubt that the citi- zens will respond to these demands, and by maintaining a liberal educational policy keep the schools at a high state of efficiency.
The superintendent is pleased at all times to meet the parents and friends of the school and to talk over with them matters pertaining to school methods and management. In conclusion, my thanks are due and cheerfully given to teach- ers, principals, and all who by connection with and interest in the schools have done so much to make of the past year a suc- cess. My thanks are especially due to this committee for help- ful cooperation, support and advice.
Respectfully submitted,
R. L. WIGGIN.

WATER DEPARTMENT
In compliance with the By-Laws of the Town and in ac- cordance with the usual custom of the Board of Water Com- missioners they submit as follows their report of the Water De- partment for the year ending December 31, 1910:
At the annual Town meeting in March there was appro- priated for the use of the Water Department as follows :
For hydrant service $5,525.00
For Water loan sinking fund $5,120.00
CONDITION OF THE PLANT
As in years passed we call the attention of the Town's people to the urgent and positive needs of the Department. An appropriation sufficiently large should be made for the use of the Water Commission to enable them to improve the Plant by the purchase of new machinery which cannot longer be de- layed without serious injury to the Plant and great detriment to the service.
A committee was appointed by vote of the Town at the last annual meeting to take into consideration the requirements of the Department and it is expected this committee will report their findings and recommendations at the forthcoming March meeting.
BRAINTREE HIGHLANDS SERVICE
Through the courtesy of the Towns of Randolph and Hol- brook arrangements have been completed to supply the inhabi- tants of Braintree Highlands with water, which is considered very advantageous for the interest of the Town.
METERED SERVICE
The metered service of the Town now numbers 1,485 of which 68 meters have been installed during the present year, and there are now about 75 unmetered services which it is in- tended to meter as rapidly as circumstances will permit.
164
SECRETARY AND COLLECTOR
In July Mr. Henry A. Monk, who had faithfully and efficiently performed the duties of Secretary and Collector for the Department since its organization, found it necessary to resign the position owing to the rapidly increasing volume of work which he felt unable to continue in connection with his duties as Town Clerk. The resignation was reluctantly ac- cepted.
The Board elected to fill this vacancy Mr. W. L. Gage who they are pleased to recommend to the patrons of the Water De- partment as fully capable of carrying on the work so well per- formed by his predecessor.
The reports of the Treasurer, Superintendent and Regis- . trar are herewith submitted as a part of this report.
