The important question is whether there has been sub- stantial progress in the whole system. There is abundant evidence that excellent work has been done in building up a progressive school system. It is my hope that the curve of progress will continue in an upward direction.
Respectfully submitted,
HORACE F. TURNER, Superintendent of Schools.

Article 13. To see if the Town will vote that the ad- journed annual meetings of the Town of Plymouth be held on the evening of Monday following the fourth Saturday of March. (By petition.)
The Committee recommends that the Town take no action under this Article.
Article 14. To see if the Town will vote to rescind the votes passed under Article Seven at a Town Meeting held on October 11, 1919, providing for the erection of a Town Hall as a Memorial Building and making an appropriation of three hundred thousand (300,000) dollars therefor.

Article 18. To see if the Town will vote to amend the vote passed at the Annual Town Meeting March 25, 1922, under Article Fourteen of the warrant for said meeting, by. striking out the figures, "$125,000.00" wherever the same appear in said vote and substituting in place thereof the words, "Two Hundred Thousand Dollars" so that said vote shall read as follows :
"That the Town appropriate the sum of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars to erect and equip with suitable seats a municipal auditorium on the Lothrop lot now owned by the Town on Court Street, said building to be constructed sub- stantially in accordance with plans submitted and now be- fore this meeting; that the construction of said building shall be under the direction of the Selectmen and a commit- tee of five to be appointed by the Selectmen. The Select- men and said committee shall procure bids for the erection of such a building on the plans submitted and specifications to be furnished, by advertising therefor in the usual man-
-5-
ner, and are hereby authorized to sign a contract in the name of the Town for the erection of said building at a price not to exceed the amount of the appropriation therefor and that any contract so made shall cover the cost of the building, 1,500 seats and architects and engineering fees."
Article 19. To see if the Town will vote to issue bonds or notes of the Town to carry into effect any action the Town may take under the preceeding article, Article Eigh- teen of this warrant.
The Committee recommends that Articles 14-15-16-18 and 19, being closely related, be considered together. (Article 17 is in the hands of a Special Committee.)
The Town has voted to erect a Memorial Town Hall at a cost of $300,000.00. It has also voted to erect a Municipal Auditorium at a cost of $125,000.00 No voter wants or expects the Town to erect the two buildings. It seems, however, that the large majority of the voters believe that a building with a large hall, such as is contem- plated by both plans already acted upon, is necessary for the needs of the Town.
Many, including the Committee, believe the Town is under obliga- tion to erect a building at a cost of approximately $300,000. As a practical matter the Committee believes that neither of said buildings can be or will be erected without the co-operation of the factions in interest.
The Committee, therefore, invited the Memorial Town Hall Con- mittee and Judge Davis to discuss with them the plans already sub- mitted for the purpose of working out, if possible, a plan that would incorporate the salient features of both plans. Time was too short to work out a plan for this meeting, but the Memorial Town Hall Committee and Judge Davis have expressed their willingness to co-operate with the belief that they can work out a plan that will be acceptable to a large majority of the voters. It is expected that the Memorial Town Hall Committee will present such a plan at a Special Town Meeting in the near future, and the Advisory Com- mittee, therefore, recommends that no action be taken under these Articles.
Article 20. To see if the Town will vote to accept Chap- ter One Hundred and Sixty-two of the Acts of 1921, entitled "An act authorizing the Town of Plymouth to erect a wharf and public landing."
The Committee recommends that the Town accept Chapter 162 of the Acts of 1922, entitled "An act authorizing the Town of Plymouth to erect a wharf and public landing."'
Article 21. To hear the report of the Relocation Com- mittee appointed according to the vote under Article 6 of the Special Town Meeting held on January 29, 1921.
This article referred to a special committee.
