REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE IN CHARGE OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE EDWARD B. NEVIN SCHOOL.
To the Citizens of Weymouth:
By vote of this committee on February 22, 1918, the Ed- ward B. Nevin school house was accepted from the builders, John F. Griffin Co., as of February 18, 1918, although the building had for sometime prior thereto been occupied as a school house.
A considerable amount of filling and grading remains to be done in and about the school premises, and the construction account is therefore kept open for another year in order that such work may be attended to. The small net balance on hand will be increased by the sale of certain old materials and other goods still unsold. At present, there are no outstand- ing bills.
The complete statement of expenses and receipts to date follows :

Stone Underhill Heating & Ventilating Co. 7,898.00

REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN.
To the Inhabitants of the Town of Weymouth:
With the more or less exhaustive reports which are now supplied by all of the principal departments of the town gov- ernment, it seems a useless repetition for the report of the Selectmen to treat of subjects which are thus otherwise re- ported. We will therefore confine ourselves to a few matters which will not be treated of elsewhere.
The beginning of the year 1918 found our country strain- ing every nerve in raising and equipping our immense army to cross the sea and participate in the great world war which was being waged on the battlefields of Europe. The enrolling of an army and navy mounting into the millions, the furnish- ing of the required armament, equipment and supplies, to- gether with the necessity of sending vast amounts of pro- visions and military supplies to the nations with which we were co-operating had revolutionized all the manufacturing, agricultural and transportation facilities of the country. The paramount purpose of the Government was to place in Europe at the earliest possible moment an army of millions of men, with all the necessary paraphernalia of war required to make that army an important, if not a decisive, factor in bringing the war to a successful close.
The best military authorities of England and France did not deem it possible for the allied armies to start an offensive cam- paign with promise of a successful issue before the summer of 1919. Contrary to all expectations this country was able to and did by the first of July, place nearly two million men in the fields of France, equipped and trained for immediate service. This fact determined the Allied High Command to adopt an offensive campaign with good prospect of forcing a
164
military decision before the winter set in. The result of this campaign was successful beyond the most sanguine expecta- tion. :
Turkey, Bulgaria and Austria, one after another, were com- pelled to lay down their arms, and Germany, left alone, was obliged to sue for an armistice, which was granted, and was signed on the eleventh day of November. By the terms of this armistice the defeat of the German army and navy was practically acknowledged.
The world now awaits with intense interest the action of the peace conference now convening, which, it is confidently expected, will result in a definite settlement of peace terms, for. - which the world devoutly prays. Since a state of war be- tween this country and Germany was declared in April, 1917, this town has furnished men for our army and navy to the number of seven hundred and thirty, many of whom have had an important part in the operations which resulted in the triumph of the allied arms. Some of these have already re- turned to their homes, while many are still in France, or in the Army of Occupation in Germany, while many more are awaiting their discharge in the various camps in this country.
We have endeavored to secure a full list of the men who en- tered the military and naval service of the United States from Weymouth. We are indebted to a large extent to Miss Edith Bicknell for her service, almost from the time our country en- tered the war, in obtaining the data for this list.
We also asked for volunteers from among the scholars of the High School to co-operate with Miss Bicknell by making a house to house canvass in the hope of making the list com- plete and accurate. A number of the young ladies of the school volunteered for this work, with the result that we are enabled to publish a list which we trust is nearly if not entirely complete and accurate.
Notwithstanding the most painstaking effort, it will not be surprising if it is found that there are a few names which should be included in the list which have not yet been ob- tained. Should any readers of these pages discover any errors or omissions we should esteem it a favor if they will forward such names to this Board or to the Town Clerk, that the town

records of those who served their country in this greatest of all wars may be complete and accurate.
