TOWN HALL REPAIRS.
The repairs of the Hall have been carried out as by vote of the Town. New windows were added, the building painted, and a sign placed in a conspicuous place that strangers might know the nature of the building. Total cost, $562.87.
MOUNTAIN PARK HOSE HOUSE.
The Selectmen have reorganized a Hose Company, to be known as Hose Company No. 2, which in our judgment is much needed in that section of the Town. In case of fire it would be of great advantage to the regular fire department. As the building has never been completed, we would recom- mend that a small amount be appropriated to finish the same.

ROCKLAND STREET DRAINAGE.
The surface water on Rockland street has been turned as far as possible into the King street catch basin, which greatly relieves the former street. Until some system of sewerage is found, we know of no other remedy.
KING STREET EXTENSION.
Report on the extension of King Street, which was laid out by the County Commissioners, and ordered to be com- pleted by the Town.
After receiving bids from a number of contractors, the work was awarded F. D. Mayo & Co., of Lynn, at twenty- five hundred dollars, which was the lowest figure. This included drilling and blasting ledge, trenching for water pipes and laying the same, and building retaining walls. The work of removing rock and dirt was awarded H. Scott Tuttle, for five hundred dollars. Stone steps have been placed for abutters, and fences repaired. The work of grad- ing the street and paving gutters was done under the direc- tion of the Surveyor of Highways. The total expense of this work has been considerably less than the amount appro- priated. This completes a much-needed approach to our High School.
CEMETERY.
The Board have made some improvement in the Ceme- tery the past year. The old pump has been removed and a stand pipe for water has been placed at the corner of the lot; by so doing made a very desirable lot which has been sold. We have also added two water closets, for ladies and gentle- men, which have proved a great benefit to the public, and many more improvements might be made. We wish to refer the citizens to the Selectmen's Report of the years 1891-1892

in regard to burial lots. A plan has been made of the land in the easterly end of said Cemetery that might be made available by blasting out the ledge and grading. We would respectfully ask that a sum of twenty-five hundred dollars be appropriated the present year to make a commencement, and a small amount each year until the land is completed, according to the plan of Mr. Harris which is in the hands of the Selectmen. We would also recommend that a sum of five hundred dollars be appropriated for a Cemetery improve- ment fund, to be used in beautifying the avenues and walks, and naming the same ; also that iron settees be placed in the main avenues, and many other improvements that might be made to beautify the surroundings.
PETITIONS.
During the summer a petition largely signed was re- ceived, asking that the Selectmen lay out Norfolk avenue, Middlesex avenue, Berkshire and Hampden streets, on the Stetson estate so called. After looking over the matter a surveyor was employed and a plan of the first two was made. After notices and hearings the Selectmen have laid out Nor- folk avenue and Middlesex avenue as public highways. Waivers have been presented to abutters for signatures, and a large majority have signed, a few have refused, The mat- ter of the acceptance of said streets is presented to the Town for consideration.
CEDAR SWAMP ROAD.
After carefully viewing the premises we were of the unanimous opinion that it would be inexpedient to lay out a road across said swamp, and have therefore given the peti- tioners leave to withdraw.
A petition has been received asking that Crescent, Roy

and Elliott streets be laid out. This petition being received at a late day, gave insufficient time to make an intelligent report this year. We are of the opinion that something should be done in this part of the Town in this direction, and respectfully refer the matter to our successors for action.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
Under this head we would call the attention of the voters to the fact that the business of the Town is on the increase, and more spacious quarters will be needed in the near future. We would recommend that a committee be appointed to report at an adjourned meeting the cost of the adjoining Proctor lot so called. As this property is in the market, the Town should certainly make some move to ac- quire it, as it is centrally located for any Town purpose.
Numerous complaints have been received as to the dan- gerous condition of Redington street between Rockland and King streets. The Board are of the opinion that an appro- priation should be made to remedy this matter, and call at- tention to an article which appears in the Warrant for that purpose.
Respectfully submitted,

Report of the School Committee.
TO THE CITIZENS OF SWAMPSCOTT :
It is with great pleasure that the School Committee can report to the Town the efficiency of the schools, and a steady growth in methods and in general excellence. We are beginning to realize the benefits that are derived from proper grading, and wish that we could carry it into the Primary department, thus making the system complete But it would necessitate longer walks for the little ones which we feel would be strongly opposed by parents. How- ever, we trust that the time is not far distant when parents will be willing to make this sacrifice, as they will be repaid a hundred fold.
TEACHERS.
We are to be congratulated, we think, in retaining our faithful teachers with one exception. Miss Hattie A. Thayer, teacher of the Pine Street Primary, was obliged to resign her position during the Spring term on account of ill health. But we were fortunate in obtaining the services of Miss Mabel F. Verry, of Danvers, a teacher of eight years' exper- ience, who has done excellent work, and brought the school up to a high standard.
TEXT BOOKS AND SUPPLIES.
We have been obliged in past years to have the children of the Primary Schools exchange text books, thus necessitating
89
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
1897]
the transporting of these books by the pupils from one end of the Town to the other. Parents have justly com- plained, and we now have remedied the matter by purchasing books for each school. We believe this change will receive the approval of all. It not only does away with the labor, but also prevents the spread of contagious diseases, as a school infected would be liable to spread disease by the removal of books to other schools.
We wish to say a word about supplies. We do not desire you to understand that we think our boys and girls are more destructive and wasteful than other boys and girls, but we feel that a little caution, a few words from parents, might save the Town some expense. Free text books and supplies are certainly a great help to all, but these privileges can be and are abused, and we feel that parents can help teacher and School Committee in their endeavor to make this expenditure as light as possible for the Town. Have the children understand that you are obliged to pay your part of this expense in your taxes. We hope that good results will follow these few words of caution.
CHEMICAL LABORATORY.
One of the most urgent needs of our High School at present is a proper supply of instruments, chemicals, etc., to conduct necessary experiments. Our deficiency in this re- spect has been adversely commented upon by the State Board of Education, and your Committee earnestly recommend that a special appropriation be made for this purpose.
REMOVAL OF SLATES IN GRADES I, II, III, AND SUBSTITUTION OF PAPER.
Your Committee have made this change, believing it to be for the best in many ways. In the first place it helps the teachers to preserve better order and discipline, as it is almost
90
TOWN DOCUMENTS.
[Feb. 27
impossible to avoid noise and confusion in the handling of slates. It is also more cleanly. The use of sponges and cloths are indeed an objection, as the odor arising therefrom is not conducive to good health. The cost (taking into ac- count the breaking of slates) is but very little more, if any.
ENTERTAINMENTS.
We have had complaints regarding the frequency of entertainments, and from parties who are deeply interested in school matters. They feel that they are taxing the chil- dren beyond their strength as well as taking time which should be given to their studies. It must, however, be re- membered that the State recommends, and in many instances obliges, the observance of certain holidays.
The teachers also are interested in furnishing the Phillips School rooms with pictures and statuary, and this year have worked hard to purchase book-cases, in order to start school libraries, as they desire the scholars to read selected books that are elevating as well as instructive. We copy the fol- lowing from the Report of the State Board of Education. In speaking of the needs of the schools they say :
" The most noticeable needs are (1) a greater supply and variety of reading books, and (2) more especially a suitable supply of standard reference books. An abundance of refer- ence books will enlarge a pupil's horizon, supply additional incentives to a thorough and intelligent mastery of subjects, and greatly aid in topical teaching. If advantage were taken of the State law which allows the expenditure each year of twenty-five per cent. of the income of the State school fund for the purchase of books of reference, the investment would prove a wise one. In the larger towns and cities that receive no income of the State school fund, one-fourth of the appro- priation for books and supplies might well be invested in
91
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
1897]
standard reference books. Every school building should have a well-selected school library. School officials should interest themselves in supplying teachers and pupils with the tools of trade."
Notwithstanding, your Committee feel it would be well not to overdo these very proper and beneficial entertainments, for it certainly is a tax upon the children, as well as parents, in many ways. We think that the Town would prefer to appropriate the amount required for the purposes mentioned.
PETITION FOR ONE SESSION IN THE GRAMMAR GRADES DURING THE WINTER MONTHS.
The following petition was received about the middle of January :
"We the undersigned would respectfully submit the following proposition to the School Board of Swampscott, hoping for a favorable reply.
That through the winter months there may be only one session of the Phillips School."
A meeting of the Board was called to consider and act upon this petition. We investigated the matter thoroughly, and agreed unanimously, that it was not for the best interest of the Town or schools to grant it, and accordingly so rendered our decision.
REPAIRS AND IMPROVEMENTS.
Our school buildings were in good order at the com- mencement of the year, consequently we have had but very little repairing to do outside the ordinary work. We have laid floors in the Beach Primary school-room and entries, have improved the Phillips School grounds by grading, gravelling the walks, laying stone gutters, and curbing the sidewalk. The contract calls for shrubbery, which will be
