The new signs for Hollett Island Park, made by Jesse P. Litchfield, have been placed in position, one on each side of the street passing through the Island.
In October we inspected all the plots in town and found them in good condition. Several of the plots had been regraded and sowed· with grass; flowers had been planted in the George H. Webb plot and in the John J. Ford plot. Mr. Philip Turner, the custodian of the Satuit plot, was again accorded honorable mention for the excellence of his work. The Commission has sent letters of thanks to Mr.
109
Thomas W. Lawson, Mr. Silas Peirce, Mr. Thomas H. Farmer, and Mr. Arthur Williams, for the care of five plots without expense to the town.
The Commission has decided to lay out and improve the triangle at the junction of the roads near the estate of Dr. Lund, to be known as the Ridge Hill plot; and to rearrange and grade the area near the corner of Union Cemetery, to be known as the Meeting House Lane plot.
We wish to gratefully acknowledge the contributions of Mr. Silas Peirce, Mr. Edward H. Nichols, Mr. Hamilton Welch, Mr. Ebed Cook, and Mr. James H. Green, for promoting the work of the Commission. Every dollar so contributed goes directly for visible improvements in the town.
During the past year the plots seem to have been more respected than ever. There have been fewer cases of driving across them. Everywhere our citizens are mani- festing a spirit of cooperation, which promises well for the future of the town. The work of the North Scituate Beach Improvement Association deserves the heartiest com- mendation of every citizen. We wish especially to com- mend the large number of townspeople who keep their lawns clipped, their sidewalks in order, their back yards clean, and their houses in good repair. Every year the number of beautiful homes in the town is increasing. Many cottages in the midst of flowers and shrubbery are more desirable in a town than a few large isolated estates, no matter how magnificent. Many of the old house lots have been greatly improved by their new owners. People who do this kind of work are welcome additions to our citizen- ship.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM H. NORTH, HENRY T. BAILEY, WALTER S. HARRUB, Park Commission of Scituate.

REPORT OF TREE WARDEN
The question is often asked, "Why are shade trees necessary to our streets?" What good are they? They add to the value of adjacent property, they keep the road from drying out, and they add to the beauty and comfort of our roads, which are quite important in our town. They also cool the air in summer and radiate heat in winter. .
Scituate has over one hundred miles of roads. Very few of these roads have a continuous row of trees on even one side. I am in hopes, however, to see the time when every street in town will be completely planted, and the person in charge will have enough funds to take care of them.
Trees along streets have a hard time, and need a good deal of attention; they not only have their insect foes and fungous diseases, but the telephone and electric-light wires interfere with their growth. I shall be glad when all wires have to go underground.
The appropriation of $500 has been expended as follows: Spraying, $401.26; tools and bolts, $26.20; trimming, $59.88; mulching and watering, $32; seventy trees and planting, $92.60; making a total of $611.94.
We have collected from individuals, $81.40, mostly for spraying; from the Park Commission, $26.99 for spraying trees under their jurisdiction, making a net expenditure of $503.55. We also have $37 due from associations and individuals.
I am asking the town to appropriate $350 for the elm beetle work, as I believe the sum left to spend, after paying for beetle spraying, is much too small for a town situated as we are.

111
The moth work has been carried on much the same as in previous years, the total sum spent being $9,300.25, the town appropriating $3,500, and the State $4,351.21 in money and $1,749.02 in tools and supplies. The sprayer which the town voted to buy is ready and will be shipped to us at once. I recommend the purchase of another machine, as I understand we can have it at the same terms; and that we appropriate $600 over our liabilities to be spent in our town.
Respectfully submitted,
PERCIVAL S. BROWN, Tree Warden.

REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH
To the Citizens of the Town of Scituate:
It gives us great pleasure to submit to the citizens of the town the work accomplished by the Board for the year of 1912.
During the year the town has been practically free from contagious disease except for a few scattering cases.
The Board appointed garbage collectors in different sec- tions of the town, and the manner in which the garbage has been collected was very satisfactory.
All complaints submitted to the Board have been promptly attended to and adjusted.
The condition of the mosquito nuisance at the Sand Hills was called to the attention of the Board by the Sand Hills Improvement Association. The Board was asked to help defray the expense, which it did to the amount of $25, and the manner in which the matter was abated has proved very satisfactory.
The Board suggests an additional appropriation of $300 on account of the extra expense which has been added. All tubercular cases that are sent to a hospital or sanitarium are charged to the Board.
Numerous complaints have been made regarding the water supply at North Scituate and North Scituate Beach.
During the summer season the change from Scituate to Cohasset water supply has been very unsatisfactory.
The attention of The Scituate Water Co. has been called to this condition without any material results.
All slaughtering reported has been inspected by the Board and all found satisfactory.
Respectfully submitted,
DR. H. F. CLEVERLY, Chairman, THOMAS H. FARMER,
WILLIAM P. GROVESTEIN,
Board of Health.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF MILK
To the Board of Health:
The past year there have been twenty-four milk licenses issued, showing an increase of one over the previous year.
There have been some changes in those conducting the milk business in town, four new parties taking a license, and three not renewing.
A number of samples of milk have been tested from different dealers and all the milk farms visited and inspected at least twice, and suggestions made and generally com- plied with.
The milk supply furnished is very favorable and presents a good comparison with the results reported from other locations.
Respectfully submitted,
THOMAS H. FARMER, Milk Inspector. .
114
REPORT OF FIRE DEPARTMENT
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
The department has been more than fortunate during the past year as regards fires, both dwelling and forest, the only forest fire of any account being back of the farm of Charles Wagner. The only fire which could be placed to the setting by a railroad locomotive was near the depot on the Papineau estate.
There have been but few fires in buildings, and these of small account, one being at the cottage "Outlook," and another at Coleman Heights Hotel, one at North Scituate Beach, and one in the west part of the town, and two automobiles.
We recommend an appropriation the same as last year, namely, six hundred ($600) for the support of the depart- ment and four hundred dollars ($400) for taking care of forest fires.
Respectfully submitted,
HENRY T. COLE, Chief, ERNEST R. SEAVERNS, FRANK W. LITCHFIELD, D. P. SYLVESTER, CHARLES G. EVERETT,

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
To the Inhabitants of Scituate:
Your School Committee, having discharged to the best of its ability the task of converting an appropriation of $18,000 into a full equivalent of instruction and development of five hundred children, would refer to the Selectmen's report for its detailed financial account.
In keeping its expenditure within the total amount appropriated, it has carried out the instruction of the town, and hopes the same appropriation will continue. The schedule of teachers' salaries has been revised, resulting in an advance of $100 in the High School, and $50 in the grades.
Changes in the teaching force have reached the usual per cent., a fifth of our teachers leaving during the year. The universal recognition of the merit of Louise Adams, Grace Simmons, and Nellie Adams is pleasant to record.
The expenditure for emergency and general repairs has been of a generous character, especially in the High School building. In accordance with the recommendation of the Board of Health last year, your committee has installed bubble fountains in all the buildings, and provided paper towels. No room is now crowded, no building unsanitary or unsafe.
· Respectfully submitted,
FREDERICK B. NOYES, CLARA M. SKEELE, CHARLES H. WATERMAN.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
To the School Committee:
In accordance with your regulations I herewith submit my fourth annual report.
From year to year the school enrollment remains about the same. In fact this report and the report for last year give the same average membership for the schools of the town.
Since the report of last year one grade has been added to the High Street School. Seventeen pupils are attending this school at present. Were the school to be closed and the pupils transported to the Hatherly School, it would result in overcrowding some of the lower rooms at that building. It would therefore seem wise to continue this school while present conditions obtain.
ATTENDANCE
The importance of regular attendance at school can scarcely be overestimated. This matter continues to receive vigilant attention, and although there are still some parents who do not seem to realize that they are breaking the laws of the Commonwealth by keeping children of school age out of school, we are, on the whole, continuing to show improvement in attendance.
The report of last year gave a higher percentage of atten- dance than that for any year of which record could be found. This year we have improved upon the record of last year. We are now decidedly above the State average in attendance, and continued effort will be necessary to show further improvement.
121
TEACHERS
At the close of the school year in June we lost some of our most experienced and successful teachers. Miss Louise Adams resigned her position in the High School, Miss Nellie Adams resigned from the Jenkins School, and Miss Grace Simmons the principalship of the Hatherly School. Each of these teachers resigned to accept a better position else- where, and each well merited her advancement.
The vacancy at the High School was filled by the election of Miss Marguerite Coydevant, a graduate of Boston Uni- versity, and Miss Marion G. Staples, a graduate of the Bridgewater Normal School, was chosen to fill the vacancy at the Jenkins School. The work of each of these teachers is worthy of commendation.
Miss Simmons's work at the Hatherly School was charac- terized by unusual ability, tact, and devotion to the interests of the school. The vacancy was a difficult one to fill. Miss Maud Adlington, of Simmons College, was chosen for this position, and at present it seems that the Hatherly School has not lost by the change.
A COMPARISON
As this report must be brief, no attempt will be made to give a detailed account of the work of the year. Indications point to continued improvement. The written papers of the pupils show improvement in penmanship and in the use of the English sentence. The principal of the High School reports better preparation shown by the entering class. Various other things point to recent improvement in the quality of work done, but how do our schools compare with the schools of long ago or with city schools of the present. Throughout New England it has frequently been said by those wishing to criticize the present school systems that the schools of the present do not give so thorough in-
122
struction in the so-called "essential branches," as did the schools of some generations ago, these critics giving as a reason that much time is now spent on non-essentials.
Until within the past few years it has been difficult to refute this argument, on account of lack of specific evidence.
Some years ago a set of examination papers was found in Springfield, Mass., that were given to a class in the ninth grade in that city in 1846. The papers containing the pupils' answers were also found. These tests were given again in Springfield in 1905, and the same method of marking the answers was observed. Perhaps the most important of these were the tests in arithmetic and geography. The same tests given in Springfield in these two subjects were given in December to the ninth grade in Scituate, and the same method of marking answers was observed. The results were as follows:
Arithmetic: Average percentage of correct answers:
Springfield in 1846 29.4
Springfield in 1905 65.5
Scituate in 1912 67.6
Geography: Average percentage of correct answers:
Springfield in 1846 40.3
Springfield in 1905 53.4
Scituate in 1912 64.2
The schools of Springfield have been and now are among the best schools of New England. That Scituate should stand decidedly better than Springfield in the above studies is indeed gratifying.
COURSES OF STUDY
It may be stated that the schools of Scituate are doing well in the time-honored branches; that the attendance is better than ever before and that the discipline in most
123
cases is excellent, but there are a number of things not yet attempted by the schools of Scituate whose importance is well deserving of the early attention of the citizens of the town.
In the report of last year it was mentioned that we were awaiting a State course of studies. That course has arrived, copies have been distributed to the teachers, and meetings of teachers and principals have been held to discuss the work suggested by the State.
This course is comprised in eight pamphlets, and con- tains suggestions for work in many more subjects than the number of pamphlets would indicate. It is permeated throughout with the best educational thought of the day, and our teachers will do well to make an intensive study of the ideas, suggestions, and projects contained therein. If the work of the schools is to conform to the spirit of the new course, it will be necessary for our teachers to teach projects they have never been taught, and to teach some of the common branches in a way other than they have been taught. The above course covers the first six years of school work. For the grades between the sixth grade and the High School, the course recommended comprises the branches now taught and several prevocational subjects, among which are printing, woodworking, ironworking, domestic science, and agriculture. Each pupil is supposed to take several of the prevocational subjects in order to find for which he is best adapted. For high schools, in addi- tion to the work now done, elective vocational departments are recommended from which the pupil may elect one vocational subject upon which he will spend approximately half of his time, the rest being devoted to subjects in the general course.
To carry out this scheme as a whole would be too serious a problem for this town to undertake at present, but in the light of what other smaller towns have done, it would
124
seem conservative to extend our work along industrial lines.
I would recommend that a special instructor be engaged on full time to teach the practical arts and drawing. To do this work it would be necessary to make a small outlay for benches and tools, and to partition off a part of the basement in the Hatherly School Building, to afford the necessary room. There is already sufficient room for this purpose at the Jenkins School.
I would also recommend that the town consider meeting the requirements of the State in regard to the establishment of a vocational agricultural department in the High School, the State thereby paying each year towards its support a sum equal to two-thirds of the salary of the instructor in agriculture.
Other approved lines of work for the High School are mentioned in the report of the principal. School calendar, enrollment data, and Roll of Honor will be found in the Appendix.

HIGH SCHOOL REPORT
Dec. 18, 1912.
MR. WILLIAM E. CHAFFIN,
Superintendent of Schools.
Dear Sir: Following is the report of the Scituate High School for the past year.
At the beginning of the year, September, 1911, a new course of study, new texts and methods were adopted. These were examined by the New England College Entrance Examination Board, and found satisfactory. The Board then, for the first time, granted Scituate High School the privilege, for one trial year, to send its pupils to any New England college, except Harvard, Yale, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, on certificate without examina- tion.
Although from an academic standpoint the High School meets the demands of educational authorities, a glance at the record of attendance shows that these higher academic standards and studies now offered in the school do not attract the large majority of Scituate children, who will never continue their education in a higher institution, and who seek a general and practical education that will enable them to earn a living when they leave school, rather than scholarly attainments in academic study.
In September, 1911, the total membership was 88. Seven- teen left during the year, and 8 more did not continue this year, for the following reasons: 1 for sickness, 7 whose families left town, 10 boys and 6 girls for permanent work, 1 returned to grammar school. In September, 1912, the total membership was 79, of which 2 have left for sickness,
126
3 have left town, 2 have obtained permanent work. We now have 29 freshmen, 16 sophomores, 18 juniors, and 9 seniors. In other words, including 16 seniors of the class of 1912, only three of which entered college, 26 per cent. have passed out into practical work since September, 1911. It is conservative to estimate that more than 70 per cent. of the remainder will not attempt to enter college for financial and other reasons.
I do not advise that we return to the lower standards of academic work. We should offer to the 20 per cent. who wish a college preparation, or who wish an academic education, such an opportunity. But we should not force the 80 per cent. through advanced and difficult studies of foreign languages and mathematics, a large part of which they will forget, possibly never appreciate, and which probably will never help them to earn a living, merely because this 80 per cent. want a High School diploma.
Since Miss Pierce took charge of the commercial work less than a year ago, that part of our curriculum is making rapid progress; already it has reached the stage where it can be of practical use to the student after graduation. Twenty per cent. of the present membership are enrolled in this department.
But in addition to the commercial and academic studies I advocate that we offer a new course, consisting of indus- trial work in wood and iron, domestic science and agricul- ture, preceded by elementary work in the upper grammar grades, together with studies now offered in the first two years in High School scattered over a four-year period, - a course combining a practical, industrial training, and the requirements of a good general education. Pupils who now fail to complete the courses either in the grammar grades or in the High School substitute for this training the education of the streets and manual labor, poorly paid because they have had no suitable training. These would
127
be induced to stay in school to obtain that which will fit them for practical work after graduation. At the same. time, by staying in school for these attractions and benefits, they would obtain much of that education that develops an appreciation of the higher conceptions of life, which, although it may never earn dollars and cents, makes life something other than a mere existence, - a struggle for a poor daily wage.
Respectfully yours,
W. R. BROWN, Principal, Scituate High School.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING
MR. WILLIAM E. CHAFFIN,
Superintendent of Schools.
Dear Sir: I have been asked to write my second annual report concerning the work in drawing in the schools of Scituate.
The work in drawing is changing from time to time, and it is the aim of the art supervisor, through its special teachers, to make the subject an important study in the school curriculum.
It has been my aim and desire to have the children understand the need and value of this study, drawing, or manual arts as it is being commonly called at the present time. With this thought in mind I have combined the work in construction with that of representation and design.
With their other work, the boys of the upper grades of the Jenkins School are planning and making a tool closet and a doll house. The practical use of the tool closet needs no explanation. The doll house is being made to show the practical use of drawing. The size, dimensions, placing of windows, doors, etc., and the need of accurate workmanship is found to be as essential in this as in a larger house.
While the boys are busy in the sloyd room the girls are working in reed, leather, brass, and bookbinding.
The sixth and seventh grade pupils have made looms for the lower grades. These looms are to be used for weaving face cloths, also for weaving hammocks and carpets for the doll house.
Design is here introduced in the decoration, size, and color of the object made.
129
It is carried on still further in the lower grades with the house decoration.
The representation or picture drawing is also important, as it furnishes a foundation for design. The simple colored study of a violet, buttercup, or clover fits itself into a border for curtain, drapery, or scarf. The pretty snow scene makes a picture for the wall, a design in itself. The different shapes seen in a quick sketch from the window disclose many suggestions for a conventional carpet design.
On account of the lack of a sloyd room the work in the Hatherly School is quite different, but very much the same in methods, for the same general line of work is being done without the direct application.
In closing I would say that this gives only a brief idea of the work in manual arts in the schools of Scituate.
BERTHA M. TILDEN, Supervisor of Drawing.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC
MR. W. E. CHAFFIN,
Superintendent of Schools.
In conducting the music in the schools we have made a slight change. In the spring term we experimented by giving each of the first five grades a fifteen-minute lesson, instead of giving a half-hour lesson to two grades combined.
The experiment was so successful that we have continued the same method since. We are able in this way to give more individual attention.
Our constant complaint has been, and is, that children do not do as well when they get in higher grades as we are led to expect from their earlier work. As one more way of correcting this trouble we are strongly insisting upon absolutely undivided attention during the singing lesson.
. This sounds easy, but when we are working on more than · one part, such as soprano and alto, trying to avert mistakes which will occur, it is sure to delay the lesson to stop and call a wandering attention. These corrections grow more difficult as the grades go higher, until in the High School it becomes a real problem. We are sorry to admit that in the High School the singing lesson has the scantest atten- tion and courtesy. The next point to be gained will be a systematic marking of individuals in singing, to be counted in the term's marking, like any other study.
I want to assure you that I have the heartiest support and . cooperation from every one of the teachers. I take this opportunity to thank each one, and to pledge them my best work. I thank you, also, for your support and readiness to come to my aid.
Respectfully submitted, LILLIE C. STODDARD, Supervisor.
