REPORT OF COUNTY AID TO AGRICULTURE
Plymouth County Extension Service Town of Scituate By Chas. E. Mitchell, Town Director
In presenting the report of Extension Service activi- ties for the town of Scituate, I would like to first call your attention to the fact that the Plymouth County Extension Service has been functioning for the better- ment of Agriculture, Home Life, and the boys and girls of the County for twenty-three years. It is your organ- ization and its service to you is dependent in large measure upon your desire and request for such serv- ices.
Report of Agricultural Work
The County Extension Service endeavors to present useful and practical information to farmers of the County and encourage the application of the same. We aid in securing and presenting information on produc- tion, marketing, and assist in cooperative enterprises.
During 1937 much time has been given to the Agri- cultural Conservation Program. The program is in line with our agricultural teachings and can be of as- sistance to county farmers. Four hundred and fifty men are expected to receive payments totaling $25,000. 1
We have assisted in every way possible various or- ganizations that have requested our services. Among these are the Associations of County Dairymen, Poultry-
317
ANNUAL REPORT, TOWN OF SCITUATE, 1937
men, Cranberry Growers, Production Credit, Goat Own- ers, Bee Keepers, Rural Resettlement, various Fairs, Granges, and Egg Auction.
Thirty-two hundred farmers in the County were sup- plied with timely information regarding agricultural problems, while 696 farm visits were made.
Home Demonstration Work
It is the aim of Home Economics Extension Work to assist women with problems connected with house- keeping, home management, and family life.
During 1937, in addition to the service given indi- vidual homes, sixty-seven groups have been organized for study along some one of the lines indicated above. In January of 1938, sixteen more groups were added to this list. The total enrollment is well over 1,500. Two hundred and fifty-seven women have helped in the organization and carrying out of the program. The subjects especially studied during this period have been home management, home grounds improvement, food preservation, furniture refinishing, chair seating, and clothing. Work has also been included in nutrition, parent education and recreation.
Club Work
In 4-H Club Work, the Extension Service provides for the boys and girls of the County an opportunity for educational development through study and practice in home economics and agriculture, as well as an oppor- tunity for self-improvement. It emphasizes the home, and brings club members and parents together in a common interest. It develops cooperation, leadership, self-confidence, ambition, sportsmanship, ability to think, responsibility and community spirit.
318
ANNUAL REPORT, TOWN OF SCITUATE, 1937
There were 106 4-H Clubs organized in 1937 with an enrollment of 1,620 different boys and girls. Those clubs were under the supervision of about 100 volun- teer local leaders. All towns and cities in the county had some type of 4-H Club work this year.
Sixty-nine are on the mailing list to receive informa- tion relating to Poultry, Fruit, Dairy, Market Garden, and Cranberries.
Twenty calls relating to agriculture were made by the agent.
Enrolling to keep Farm Records, such as Farm In- ventories, Farm Accounts, and Poultry Accounts were five men.
In the Agricultural Conservation Program for 1937 there were 12 men enrolled and 3 are expected to re- ceive payments. These men will receive a proportion- ate amount of some $25,000 earned this year by county farmers, depending on the size of farm and amount of conservation work carried out by each individual.
Meetings held in the town were on Agricultural Con- servation and Vegetables.
Scituate men and women have also attended many meetings county-wide in nature.
Serving on the Board of Trustees for Plymouth County Aid to Agriculture is Louis E. Cole.
Home Demonstration Work
A series of food preservation meetings was held in this town.
319

ANNUAL REPORT, TOWN OF SCITUATE, 1937
In home management, a demonstration meeting and help with a community kitchen were included in the program. Scituate women participated in the parent education and home grounds improvement meetings.
A group has been organized to study the construction of garment finishes. Other clothing work will be sched- uled soon. The recent organization of the Women's Extension Committee has already increased the num- ber of women with whom we are working.
Additional help along various lines has been given by letter, telephone, office call or home visit.

REPORT OF THE PLUMBING INSPECTOR
Board of Health, Town of Scituate, Mass.
Gentlemen :
During the year 1937 there have been 67 plumbing permits issued and inspections of the installations made by your inspectors.
While the plumbing code of our Town was adequate at the time of its acceptance, changes should now be made to cover new methods of installation and more clearly define the use of new materials which have been accepted by Health authorities.
With the increase in population the problem of proper sewerage disposal in the more thickly settled areas becomes more acute and the need for a public sewerage system with treatment and disposal plant evident.
I respectfully recommend to your Board that this problem be given careful consideration, to the end that our Town may be best served in matters of health.
Respectfully submitted,
PHILIP S. BAILEY, Inspector.
WILLIAM H. HARNEY, Asso. Inspector.

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the School Committee of Scituate:
I take pleasure in submitting my twelfth annual re- port for your consideration.
CHANGES IN OUR TEACHING STAFF
There was but one teacher resignation during the past summer, and this was received just before the opening of the fall term in September. Miss Marion L. Brine, for the past six years a teacher of the social sub- jects in grades seven and eight, accepted a similar posi- tion in the Arlington schools, and Miss Elizabeth Giles of Woburn, Massachusetts, was chosen to fill this va- cancy. Miss Giles is a graduate of the four-year course at Salem State Teachers' College, and has had two years' experience in the upper grades at Wilmington and Tewksbury, Massachusetts.
Beginning in September, a change was made in the. administration of the High School building. Up to this time there had been an organization of grades seven and eight as a Junior High School unit largely inde- pendent of the Senior High School, and with a separate principal. To secure greater unity of administration, we are no longer emphasizing the two separate units, but have organized the school as a six-year high school, with a single administrative head.
In keeping with this, Mr. Edward W. Whitmore, for the past seven years principal of grades seven and eight, was transferred to the Science Department of
8
ANNUAL REPORT, TOWN OF SCITUATE. 1937
the Senior High School, and Miss Clare Walker of Mel- rose, Massachusetts, was elected as teacher of Mathe- matics in grades seven and eight. Miss Walker re- ceived her Bachelor's degree from Middlebury College and has had three years' experience, the last two of these at the Goddard School, Barre, Vermont.
Mrs. Doris D. Ward, Supervisor of Art, was granted a leave of absence for this year, and Miss Doris M. Rowell, a graduate of the Massachusetts School of Art and an Art teacher of several years' experience, was secured as a substitute.
Towards the end of the fall term Miss Lucy Lockhart, for the past six years teacher of the first grade at the Hatherly School, was offered a position in the Centre School at Hingham, and tendered her resignation to take effect at the end of the school term in December. At the time this report goes to press a permanent teacher has not yet been chosen to fill this vacancy.
UPKEEP OF BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS
No major repairs were necessary at the Jenkins School this year. At the Hatherly School a steel ceiling was installed in the fifth grade room, and this work completed such installations in the classrooms of this building.
At the High School, the boys' shower room was refin- ished; the toilet rooms in the East Wing were repainted; the partition between the Bookkeeping and Typewrit- ing rooms of the Commercial department was removed, and the larger room thus secured was painted. A speed heating unit was placed in the Cafeteria as an aid in the more effective heating of this room.
9
ANNUAL REPORT, TOWN OF SCITUATE, 1937
In the Household Arts building the two iron sinks, used by the Home Economics classes, were replaced by white enamel ones, and an electric hot water heater was installed.
In addition to the above there were numerous repairs of a routine nature incident to building upkeep.
At the Community Center the clay tennis courts were resurfaced with a special tennis court gravel which proved to be very satisfactory. The custodian for the courts during the summer months was continued again this year and the results were excellent.
At the close of the school year in June a section of the ceiling in the Cafeteria gave way, disclosing a weak- ness in structure. The architect was at once notified, and with the builder, he made a preliminary investiga- tion. As a result of this, Mr. Gilbert Small, of the firm of J. R. Worcester Company, Engineers, was called in -at the architect's expense-to make a thorough study not only of the ceilings under the gymnasium but also of those throughout the newer parts of the building, and to recommend methods to correct the condition. Mr. Small made a careful examination of all the ceil- ings in the East and West Wings of the building. In some places holes were cut in the ceilings in order to inspect the exact condition. As a result of this study, Mr. Small on July 14 made a written report to the archi -. tect recommending detailed methods of reinforcing the ceilings. Based upon this report-and following the recommendations in their entirety-Mr. Burr drew up a set of specifications that were approved by the State Department of Public Safety.
Obviously, in an emergency which involved the safety of nearly four hundred pupils and teachers, although
10
ANNUAL REPORT, TOWN OF SCITUATE, 1937
sufficient money was not available from the school budget to meet the unexpected expenditure, the School Committee had no alternative but to make the proposed changes. Mr. John M. Hartwell, the original contractor of the building additions, offered to do the work speci- fied at a contract price or at actual cost, whichever was lower. The Committee decided to employ him at these terms and the work was started.
On August 11, Mr. Small inspected the progress of the work and as a result made a supplementary report in which he suggested several additional repairs in the interest of permanent safety. These recommendations were carried out.
Briefly, the aim of the ceiling reinforcement was to secure the metal wire and lath firmly to the furring strips, and to secure the furring to the floor joists. This was accomplished by placing heavy wooden screws with washers at every alternate intersection of furring strips and floor joists. As a further precaution against the possible giving way of the plaster and lath, 31/2"x 13/16" pine battens were placed under every other furring and secured to it by 21/2" wood screws.
In the Cafeteria, narrower strips, one foot apart, were screwed to the furrings and Acousti-Celotex attached to them. This makes an attractive ceiling and has proved very beneficial in reducing the noise factor. In one of the rooms of the Manual Training Department where the surface layer of plaster was badly cracked during the progress of the repairs, the battens were covered with regular Celotex.
In the gymnasium, at the intersection of the ceiling with the brick walls, 3"x11/2" moulded cornice strips
11
ANNUAL REPORT, TOWN OF SCITUATE, 1937
were securely attached to the brick wall with Rowles expansion sleeves. The furring strips of this ceiling are hung from the roof timbers and are secure. Mr. Small states that these ceilings are entirely safe at the present time, but recommends that at some later time we consider using the Acousti-Celotex here as in the Cafeteria, both as a protection from any possible later ceiling movements, and also as an improvement in the sound effects of the Auditorium. I believe this work should be carried out in the near future.

Our enrollment this year-on October 1-was twenty- five less than on the same date last year. This drop was brought about by a decrease of enrollment in the elementary grades-particularly at the Jenkins School. While this decrease in the lower grades was antici- pated, we had expected a substantial increase in our High School membership. Due to several different causes the enrollment at the High School fell short cf our preliminary estimates.
12
ANNUAL REPORT, TOWN OF SCITUATE, 1937
It would be very desirable to have several more class- rooms than the building now provides but the need is not as great at the present time as we anticipated.
SPECIAL SCHOOL OBSERVANCES
Duing the year the three schools-by exercises appro- priate to the age of the pupils-commemorated the one hundredth anniversary of the organization of the first State Department of Education in Massachusetts with Horace Mann as its secretary. The "Horace Mann Cen- tennial," a volume of two hundred pages issued by the State Board of Education, was of great aid in preparing programs.
At the High School, on May 4th, the date of Mann's birth, a combined assembly of the Junior and Senior High Schools was held, at which the Reverend Robert C. Withington gave a very complete description of the life of Horace Mann and his influence on American Education. During Education Week, on November 9, in further commemoration of Horace Mann, the Junior High School at an assembly gave a play entitled, "Horace Mann in the Hall of Fame."
On September 17 the schools observed the one hun- dred and fiftieth anniversary of the signing of the Con- stitution, and on June 14, 1938-Flag Day-they will still further commemorate with appropriate exercises the signing and ratification of this fundamental instru- ment of our government.
USE OF HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING FOR OUTSIDE PURPOSES
The High School building, apart from its use for school activities and Town Meeting purposes, was used by other organizations on eighty-nine different occa- sions during the year 1937. The Auditorium was used
13
ANNUAL REPORT, TOWN OF SCITUATE, 1937
in this way a total of sixty-two times, the Cafeteria ten times, the boys' showers nine times and the Library eight times.
The Parent-Teacher Association had the use of the building on thirty-two occasions, nine for its regular meetings and twenty-three for the dancing classes which it sponsors. The Scituate Athletic Club used the Audi- torium and boys' showers-during the basket ball sea- son-a total of nineteen evenings, and the boys' showers alone-during the football season-on nine afternoons. Other organizations using the building on one or more occasions were the Police department, Fire department, the Nursing Service, the Grange, the Legion, the Vet- erans of Foreign Wars and several of the church groups.
During the mid-winter months the building is open for some activity almost every evening and occasion- ally for two or three activities on the same evening. For these occasions it is necessary to furnish extra janitor service and additional heat and light, and the aggregate added expense is considerable. As it is im- possible to separate these costs from regular school expenditures, it is necessary for the School Committee to include this expense as a part of its yearly school budget.
FINANCIAL CREDITS
As a supplement to its regular budget the School De- partment has each year received money from two sources :- from the Dox Tax and from federal funds for our Household Arts work. Together these amounted to $1,011.28 this year.
