"The best place to inculcate love of the beautiful is in the school room. To the rising generation the most effective lessons can be given from the school and thousands of child- ren will carry the lessons to thousands of homes."
In closing, I wish to express my sincere appreciation of the support always extended to me by the Superintendent, members of the School Committee, and my gratefulness to the Principals and Teachers who have helped me in my efforts.

REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF PENMANSHIP
Middleboro, Massachusetts January 8, 1929.
Mr. J. Stearns Cushing,
Superintendent of Schools
Dear Sir:
This year we are using the system of awards introduced by Mr. Sears in 1926 to arouse interest and to stimulate en- deavor in the four lower grades.
In short, this system consists of a series of star awards leading up to a small certificate of proficiency. The star awards are given to the student at the time earned, but pre- sentation of the certificate is deferred until June.
In grades above the fourth, students are working for the regular Palmer pins and certificates and are showing much enthusiasm in their work.
High School pupils who are interested in Penmanship are allowed the opportunity to receive instruction one period each week and also work for the Palmer awards.
We feel that the system of Penmanship now in effect is very efficient and that satisfactory results will be in evidence this year.
WALTER G. HICKS,
Supervisor of Penmanship.

And memories that will long remain Though we are far away.
Chorus
Then here's a fond farewell, Bates School, And here's a parting sigh, And may there be sweet memories As future years go by.

Tune: "Love Divine, All Love Excelling"
Classmates, we are pressing onward To the goal for which we've sought. "Ever onward" be our motto, Showing in each deed and thought.
64
Now before us lies the future: Read it like an open book; Then, unfaltering, start your life quest And restrain the backward look.
Sweet our memories in the future Of this long and happy year Middleboro High School, Alma Mater, We'll obey thy precepts clear. Silver are the threads of friendship Woven in the loom of life, For our teachers and our classmates All have helped us in our strife.
Alma Mater, thine the guidance Which has led our untried feet,
And from thee our inspiration Turning bitter into sweet. Then each year in laughing June Shall our thoughts to thee still turn.
May we in thy victories glory ; From thy triumphs may we learn.
Cecile D. Brink.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF OF POLICE.
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
Gentlemen:
I hereby submit the Twentieth annual report and de- tailed statement of the duties performed by the Police Dept. of the Town of Middleborough, for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1928.
The past year has been an unusually busy one. The constantly increasing number of automobiles and the condi- tions of our streets in the center of the town, due to putting the wires underground, kept the Police Department very busy.
I recommend that the department be equipped with a new motorcycle, also that the department be equipped with a typewriter.
With the increasing automobile traffic, together with the continual dangers our officers face while enforcing the laws, I would recommend that the officers be given an increase in salary.
