-146-


tendance and schools as are provided for in section three of chapter forty-two and sections three, five and six of this chapter. The superintendent of schools or, if there is no superintendent of schools, the school committee, or teachers acting under author- ity of said superintendent or committee, may excuse cases of necessary absence.

Every person having under his control a child as described in this section shall cause him to attend school as here- in required ; and if he fails for five day sessions or ten half day sessions within any period of six months while under such con- trol to cause such child, whose physical or mental condition is not such as to render his attendance at school harmful or im- practicable, so to attend school, he shall, upon complaint by a truant officer and conviction thereof, be punished by a fine of not more than twenty dollars. Whoever induces or attempts to induce a child to absent himself unlawfully from school, or employs or harbors a child who, while school is in session, is ab- sent unlawfully from school shall be punished by a fine of not more than fifty dollars.

Section 1. The school committee of every city or town in the Commonwealth shall appoint one or more school physicians.


-147-


shall assign one to each public school within its city or town, and shall provide them with all proper facilities for the perform- ance of their duties as prescribed in this act : provided, however. that in cities wherein the board of health in already maintaining or shall hereafter maintain substantially such medical inspect- ion as this act requires, the board of health shall appoint and assign the school physician.


Section 2. Every school physician shall make a prompt ex- amination and diagnosis of all children referred to him as here- inafter provided, and such further examination of teachers, jani- tors and school buildings as in his opinion the protection of the health of the pupils may require.


Section 3. The school committee shall cause to be referred to a school physician for examination and diagnosis every child returning to school without a certificate from the board of health after absence on account of illness or from unknown cause; and every child in the schools under its judisdiction who shows signs of being in ill health or of suffering from infectious or contagious disease, unless he is at once excluded from school by the teacher; except that in the case of schools in remote and isolated situations the school committee may make such other arrangements as may best carry out the purposes of this act.


Section 4. The school committee shall cause notice of the disease or defects, if any, from which any child is found to be suffering to be sent to his parent or guardian. Whenever a child shows symptoms of smallpox, scarlet fever, measles, chickenpox, tuberculosis, diphtheria or influenza, tonsilitis, whooping cough, mumps, scabies or trachoma, he shall be sent home immediately, or as soon as safe and proper conveyance can be found, and the board of health shall at once be notified.


Section 5. The school committee of every city and town shall cause every child in the public schools to be separately and carefully tested and examined at least once in every school year to ascertain whether he is suffering from defective sight or hear- ing or from any other disability or defect tending to prevent his


-148:

The tests of sight and hearing shall be made by teachers. The committee shall cause notice of any defect or disability requiring treat- ment to be sent to the parent or guardian of the child, and shall require a physicial record of each child to be kept in such form as the state board of education shall prescribe.


Section 6. The state board of health shall prescribe the al- rections for tests of sight and hearing and the state board of edu- cation shall, after consultation with the state board of health, prescribe and furnish to school committees suitable rules of in- struction, test-cards, blanks. record books and other useful ap- pliances for carrying out the purposes of this act, and shall pro- vide for pupils in the normal schools instruction and practice in the best methods of testing the sight and hearing of children. The state board of education may expend during the year nine- teen hundred and six a sum not greater than fifteen hundred dollars, and annually thereafter a sum not greater than five hun- dred dollars for the purpose of supplying the material required by this act.


Section 7. The expense which a city or town may incur by virtue of the authority herein vested in the school committee or board of health, as the case may be, shall not exceed the amount appropriated for that purpose in cities by the city council and in towns by a town meeting.

TO THE INHABITANTS OF THE TOWN OF SCITUATE:


The Selectmen, Assessors and Overseers of the Poor sub- mit the following report for the year 1908:


Owing to the large sums appropriated for roads at our last annual meeting, the Selectmen did not ask for an ap- propriation for the building of the highway leading from Willow to Brook Street, as ordered by the County Com- missioners. An extension of time was granted to June 1, 1909.


An estimate of the cost of same has been made and the town is asked to make an appropriation of $800 to pay damages as awarded and complete the road to the satisfac- tion of the County Commissioners.


Last summer it was considered necessary to have a patrol- man at Scituate Harbor to serve at night, and for the sake of economy one other than a regular constable was appointed.


The Board was criticised for so doing, and, owing to nu- merous complaints about illegal liquor selling, Mr. Supple was appointed in October to serve as liquor officer for three months.


We trust his services were appreciated. Though liquor may be sold in town, the Board does not consider it one of its duties to do detective work, as some evidently expect; and unless complaints are made direct to the Selectmen, they are not in a position to see as much of such traffic as other citizens about town.


On the whole the Board thinks this town compares favor- ably with other towns under no-license rule.


Our roads generally are in a good condition, and a little


5


money from the general or a special appropriation spent in clearing up along our main streets would add much to the appearance of our town. The Board suggests a small sum be appropriated for that purpose.


As our macadam roads increase in length, more money is needed to keep them in repair, and the Board suggests the advisability of investigating the asphalt or oil process before making an appropriation for sprinkling purposes.


The North Scituate Improvement Association has had one- half mile treated that has proved far superior to sprinkling.


Our Fire Department lacked equipment in certain houses.


During the year considerable has been added, and we hope a sufficient appropriation will be made to maintain same the coming year.


A good fire department is cheap insurance for the town, especially at North Scituate Beach and Scituate Harbor, where a fire once started would wipe out a large amount of valuable property, which would mean a loss of thousands of dollars income to the town.


Our town should have improvements made in our town hall, and while the Board recommends economy in its ap- propriations, believes that decent accommodations should be provided for its town officers.


During the year the Selectmen considered making some necessary repairs and discontinuing the playing of basket- ball in the hall. So much opposition was presented that nothing was done and permits were granted to various teams to play basket-ball.


More room is needed for the Selectmen and Assessors, and the improvements as planned two years ago would make a desirable hall with good accommodations for years to come.


We therefore recommend an appropriation for that pur- pose.


Last year the Selectmen recommended a change in the method of tax collection, and think facts will prove the jus-


6


tice of their claim, when the amount of uncollected taxes is seen as presented in the tax collector's report.


The law says that taxes are due and should be met the first of October.


Interest should be charged on uncollected taxes and a sum provided for discounts, if a discount is given.


As the rate is figured on the amount of money required for expenses, the town should receive the amount levied for such purposes as required by law. Otherwise there must be a deficit. You wonder why the town cannot show more reduction in its debt. The simple reason is that the town gives away two to three thousand dollars yearly in discounts.


An appropriation is made for abatements, therefore the Board recommends an appropriation for discounts.


This year the State appointed Supervisors of Assessors, whose duty it is to make periodical visits to the towns and cities in their respective districts.


Their recommendations and orders are such that much more time must be spent in the Assessors' department.


With the present amount allowed. town officers the As- sessors cannot do the work required. The State requires more and more work to be done by the Selectmen, Assessors, and Overseers of the Poor each year, and no town officer can be expected to give his time without proper recompense.


The Board therefore recommends an increase in the ap- propriation for town officers sufficient to meet additional out- lay for services or clerk hire in the Assessors' department.


A sum of fifty cents could be assessed on every poll tax payer in town for Tree Warden purposes.


Rather than do that a small increase should be made in the usual appropriation.


The more trees set out annually help to beautify the town and is money well spent.


You will probably be asked to make appropriations for improvements in our school buildings. The Board suggests that whatever sum may be needed for that or other pur-


7


poses, the same be raised by direct taxation in the ensuing year, instead of increasing our debt.


In a few years, with proper economy and continuing the present method of taking up certain notes annually, the town will be in a financial condition that will warrant the building of good, substantial town buildings without increas- ing the burden on the taxpayers.


The appropriation for the suppression of the gypsy and brown-tail moths was overdrawn considerably this year, much against the wishes of the Selectmen.


The State law is such that unless towns expend an amount equal to their liability as apportioned by the Moth Com- mission, the State may take up the work and complete it to their own satisfaction, which has been done in some towns. In that case our town would be under considerable more expense than at present. Owners of trees should take enough interest in the town's welfare to care for their own trees without further expense to the town.


Rather than overdraw the appropriation in 1909, the town's whole liability should be appropriated.


The Board therefore recommends an amount of $1,700 be raised for moth work in 1909.


The town last year appropriated $5,000 for the support of the poor, and our report shows how same has been ex- pended. No doubt there are some cases in town that should receive aid, but who are too independent to apply for same. There are others who will not exert themselves to earn a dollar if the town will provide.


The Overseers of the Poor have tried to be just to all with the means provided, but do not feel that the latter cases should have any sympathy or help, and hope to have the support of the town's people in refusing aid to such persons.
