The following is taken from the report of the United States Commissioner of Education: "School savings banks have been in existence in the United States since 1885, in which year the first bank was opened in a public school of Long Island City, N.Y., through the efforts of Mr. J. H. Thiry, the great promoter of the system in this country. From a recent report prepared by him on the subject, it appears that there were on January 1, 1910, school savings banks in 108 cities in the United States. Deposits were collected at 7,330 schoolrooms or stations, and the depositors numbered 166,525. In the twenty-five years since the first bank was established, the total deposits have amounted to $4,618,- 734.96, the withdrawals to $3,893,637.47, leaving $725,- 097.49 in the banks January 1, 1910."
I do not wish to close this report without expressing my sincere appreciation of the loyal and efficient work of the
148
teachers, who have one and all cheerfully responded to all suggestions for the betterment of work and to whose unself- ish labors the schools of Scituate owe whatever meed of prosperity they now enjoy.
Respectfully submitted,

HIGH SCHOOL REPORT
MR. WILLIAM E. CHAFFIN, -
Superintendent of Schools.
Dear Sir: Following is the annual report of the High School.
School opened September 5th with a registration of eighty-eight pupils. A few have left during the first term, so that there are now eighty scholars.
During the summer recess, a new furnace was installed to replace one heating the three recitation rooms. Four com- plete sets of Physical Apparatus and suitable Chemical Apparatus for a thorough College Preparatory course in Physics and Chemistry were purchased. Several new desks and a new sink and shelf for the course in Chemistry were purchased, and a few minor building repairs were made.
Of eighteen graduates of the class of 1911, two have con- tinued in higher institutions; one entered the New England Conservatory of Music and the other entered Massachusetts Institute of Technology, on high standing.
Although we are still handicapped by poor and crowded building conditions, with the new course of study and the present corps of teachers, there is no reason pupils should not gain admission to any New England college, provided they are industrious and willing to work.
I thank you heartily for the great assistance you have been to me during the past year.
Respectfully yours,.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING
MR. WM. CHAFFIN,
Superintendent of Schools.
Dear Sir: You have asked for a report concerning the work of drawing in the schools of Scituate.
Although the work of drawing has been confined to repre- sentation and color, it is the aim at the present time to make the subject broader. This is being done in the Grammar grades by introducing working and plan drawings. Plans are drawn to scale, if the objects are large, and then are worked out in cardboard, wood or brass.
The lower classes work quite frequently with paper, folding and cutting, to construct various objects.
In doing work of this kind in connection with representa- tion in color and design, we are able to teach the child to observe, construct and carry out original ideas which can- not be done with other studies.

REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC
MR. WILLIAM E. CHAFFIN, Superintendent of Schools.
Dear Sir: Owing to the kindness of the School Board in giving your Supervisor of Music a year for rest, the music in the schools has been reviewed only since September.
At my request the teachers were given full charge of the music, teaching it as past courses have been taught; and although many felt that they needed the incentive of regu- lar lessons to prepare for regular recitals, on the whole the result was satisfactory. If they fell short, they at least went part of the way in the methods that have been adopted.
We have long felt the handicap of two grades in one room, for one singing lesson; for instance, the second and third grades sing from the first reader, and having so little time for practice they only get through the first thirty pages in a year, some not as far as that. Then the third grade goes into the next room and commences at the beginning of the second reader, knowing nothing of the points brought out in the last pages of the first reader. The same thing is re- peated in each room. If some way might be suggested which would enable us to teach the grades separately, giv- ing even a fifteen-minute lesson to each, I think the result would be surprising.
The eighth and ninth grades in each building began with the fifth reader, as that is the first reader that teaches the bass part, and at that time the classes contained changed voices. But some time ago, two years perhaps, the class in the Jenkins building sang from the fourth reader, as there were no changed voices then. This year the class in the Hatherly building has taken up the fourth reader, for the same reason. The fifth readers are laid aside for the time
.
155
when bass voices appear, or when each grade has a separate lesson.
The singing this year has begun well enough to promise good results by June, but we always feel that the first term of a year is devoted to getting a start and learning to sing together. You may well expect to see better results in the next two terms.
I want to thank the teachers for supporting my work during my absence, and you for your help and advice.
Respectfully submitted, LILLIE CRANE STODDARD, Supervisor.

REPORT OF THE SELECTMEN
To the Inhabitants of the Town of Scituate:
In presenting our report we wish to suggest a few things for your consideration which seem to us desirable and profitable in the town's management. .
The first is the acceptance of the Betterment Act. This will allow the assessment of one-half the cost of sidewalks upon the abutters, providing the amount does not exceed one per cent. of the valuation. Thus, the assessment for a walk along a piece of pasture land valued at $300 could not be over $3, while the walk constructed in front of a house lot valued at $2,000 would bring an assessment of $20. This would not be burdensome upon any one, and the amount thus received could be used in building additional walks. The same Act would allow the assessment of better- ments in building roads in new territory. The town could lose nothing in accepting the Act, and those especially benefited by roads and sidewalks would contribute some- thing to the treasury in return.
Second. The rapid development of our shore property calls for a constantly changing valuation, and frequent changes in real estate values are apt to bring unequal burdens on the taxpayers, for some property may be advanced while other equally desirable parcels may be continued from year to year without change. It seems highly desirable that there should be a plan of the town on such scale that the owners' names may be shown, and the portions of territory which are equally desirable may be indicated. Then any change in these areas would affect every owner within its limits, and a glance at the plan would show the owner and valuation of the lot.
The plan would be invaluable also in the notification of owners regarding the laying out of roads, the granting of
5
locations for electric and telephone poles, and in giving information to the Land Court in establishing titles of property. Since all transfers of real estate are obtained from the records at Plymouth, the plan could always be kept up to date, and we believe would pay for itself in dollars and cents in the increased revenue received through a more just assessment than is possible under present conditions. The cost cannot be definitely estimated, but since there are private plans of a large part of the shore line which the owners would be glad to furnish for the purpose, it would seem that an annual appropriation for the next three years would put the plans in such shape that when the new valuation is taken in 1916 the work would be very greatly simplified and the results much more satisfac- tory to every one.
Third. There is prospect of securing an additional appro- priation from the Harbor and Land Commission this year for dredging the entrance of Scituate Harbor. Our fisher- men and all those who use the Harbor for boating know of the difficulty of getting over the bar at low tide if the weather is at all rough, and a comparatively small amount raised by the town will probably bring help from the State not otherwise obtainable.
Fourth. In view of the foregoing items, which seem to us especially desirable, we wish to renew our recommendation of last year: that we adopt the policy of appropriating a specific amount of money each year for the construction of stone road, and would suggest that a committee of three might determine where the new sections of road are most needed. Since it is a fact that each increase in macadam road causes an increase in the cost of maintenance, a con- servative appropriation for new construction would seem wise.
The financial accounts follow.
