The pattern of DENTAL HEALTH is best determined during CHILDHOOD. Many are the disabling illnesses that could have been avoided by the early discovery and treatment of dental defects. Dental diseases do not get well spontaneously. A little cavity soon becomes a big one. It never heals itself, and rarely stands still. Neglected too long, it is soon destroyed beyond repair, and, excepting in the young child, Nature almost NEVER grows another one in its place.
Therefore, until the use of fluorine in the prevention of dental caries leaves the theory stage to become of universal usage, we must continue to build Dental Health on the pattern we know ; and continue in our growth of nineteen children in 1939, to this year's excellent number cared for in clinic.
To the Board of Health, Public Health Nurse, and the Red Cross Motor Corps, I extend my thanks for the co-operation they gave my office in this important work.
Yours sincerely,
JOHN F. CRIMMINS, D.M.D.

ALLEN MEMORIAL LIBRARY REPORT
REPORT OF THE ALLEN MEMORIAL LIBRARY
January 25th, 1945.
Board of Selectmen, Scituate, Massachusetts.
It has been the aim of the Management Board of the Allen Memorial Library during the past year to make available to the citizens of the Town, books, pamphlets and magazines covering all phases of the world conflict as well as the economic and social prob- lems the war has brought to the people of this country.
As was to be expected, and in fact as was foreseen, there has been a marked increase in requests for technical literature and the Book Committee have wisely devoted a substantial percentage of their budget to the purchase of technical publications dealing with a wide variety of subjects.
It is, and will be, our hope and purpose to make the Library of increasing value and interest to the people of Scituate.
H. O. FRYE, President.
REPORT OF THE PEIRCE MEMORIAL LIBRARY TRUSTEES
January 24, 1945.
Board of Selectmen, Scituate, Massachusetts.
Gentlemen :
The Trustees of the Peirce Memorial Library Association feel that, despite the handicap of transportation, we have served the entire community more adequately than ever before. The Library is now open three days each week the year round.
We are indeed fortunate to have the continued loyal service of our efficient librarian, Mrs. Sarah Knowles. By arrangements with the school authorities, the librarian has successfully worked out a

method enabling the children of the older grades of the Hatherly School to get their books during school hours.
The Exhibition Committee has held several fascinating as well as educational exhibits in the library through the year.
At the annual meeting of the Association, the members voted to complete the insulation of the building. This was done, as well as other necessary repairs.
The Librarian and Treasurer's Reports will be found elsewhere.
Respectfully submitted,

BOARD OF HEALTH
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE INVESTIGATING SCHOOL HOUSING NEEDS
The Committee has had several meetings during the year and is unanimously agreed that a new central elementary school building is needed in Scituate.
This year the grade schools have an enrollment of 492 pupils or an average of 41 pupils per room. Following is a table showing the growth in our schools over a period of years.

According to the reports of educational authorities the present Hatherly and Jenkins Schools are inadequate and outmoded for car- rying on the best type of a modern educational program, and con- sequently should be replaced.
As to the location of a new building, the Committee believes that the so-called "Tower Field" is an excellent situation for a central school building and that the lot is of sufficient size to properly meet the playground needs of an elementary school. The owner of this property has been consulted by the Committee and the land may be purchased at a reasonable price.

STATE AUDIT REPORT
As every one knows, there is more money in circulation in the Commonwealth now than ever before.
Therefore, in order to safeguard the sound financial standing of the Town of Scituate when the day of Victory will have arrived, I must now adhere more strictly to the tax collection laws by enforce- ment of payment of outstanding accounts.
This will mean a hardship for some, but if all taxpayers failed to make prompt payment, the Town would be in a very poor financial condition. After all, every one must pay the cost of government, and this cost can only be met by the payment of taxes.
Trusting I shall have the pleasure of serving you again in the years to come, I remain
Yours sincerely, JOSEPH R. DILLON, Town Collector.
STATE AUDIT
March 16, 1944.
To the Board of Selectmen
Mr. Dennis H. Shea, Chairman Scituate, Massachusetts
Gentlemen :
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Scituate for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1943, made in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 44, General Laws. This is in the form of a report made to me by Mr. Herman B. Dine, Assistant Director of Accounts.
Very truly yours,
THEODORE N. WADDELL Director of Accounts.
106
STATE AUDIT REPORT
Mr. Theodore N. Waddell
Director of Accounts Department of Corporations and Taxation State House, Boston
Sir :
As directed by you, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Scituate for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1943, and report thereon as follows :
The financial transactions, as recorded on the books of the several departments collecting or disbursing money for the town, were ex- amined and checked for the audit period.
The books and accounts of the town accountant were examined and checked. The general ledger accounts were analyzed, the re- corded receipts and payments being checked with the treasurer's books, while the appropriations and transfers, as entered, were checked with the town clerk's records of financial votes passed at town meetings and with the advisory committee's authorizations of transfers from the reserve fund.
A trial balance, proving the accounts to be in balance, was taken off, and a balance sheet, showing the financial condition of the town on December 31, 1943, was prepared and is appended to this report. An examination of the appended balance sheet shows the financial condition of the town to be very good.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked. The recorded receipts were analyzed and verified by comparison with the records in the several departments collecting money for the town, with other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury, and with the town accountant's books. The recorded payments were checked with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the disbursement of town funds and with the records of the town accountant.
The cash book was footed and the cash balance on February 9, 1944, was verified by reconciliation of the bank balances with state- ments furnished by the banks in which town funds are deposited.
The records of tax titles taken by the town were examined and checked. The amounts added to the tax title account were compared with the collector's records, the reported redemptions were checked with the receipts as recorded on the treasurer's cash book, and the tax title deeds as listed were reconciled with the accountant's ledger.
107
STATE AUDIT REPORT
The recorded payments of debt and interest were proved with the amounts falling due and by examination of the cancelled securities and coupons on file.
The savings bank books and securities representing the invest- ment of the trust and investment funds in the custody of the selectmen and the town treasurer were examined and listed, the income being proved and the withdrawals verified.
The books and accounts of the town collector were examined and checked. The taxes and assessments outstanding according to the previous examination and all subsequent commitments were audited and checked with the assessors' warrants for their collection. The recorded collections were checked with the payments to the treasurer as shown by the treasurer's and the town accountant's books, the abatements, as entered, were checked with the assessors' record of abatements granted, the taxes, assessments, and water liens trans- ferred to the tax title account were checked with the treasurer's record of tax titles held by the town, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved to the accountant's ledger.
The commitments of departmental and water accounts receivable were examined and checked. The payments to the treasurer were verified by comparison with the treasurer's and the accountant's books, the abatements were checked with the departmental records of abate- ments granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved to the accountant's ledger.
The outstanding tax, assessment, departmental, and water ac- counts were further verified by mailing notices to the number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town, the replies received thereto indicating that the accounts, as listed, are correct.
The collector's cash balance on February 9, 1944, was verified by actual count of cash in the office.
The records of licenses and permits issued by the selectmen, the town clerk, and the police and health departments, as well as those of all other departments collecting money or committing bills for collection, were examined and checked, the reported payments to the treasurer being verified.
The surety bonds of the various town officials required to file them were examined and found to be in proper form.
There are appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, tables showing a' reconciliation of the treasurer's and collector's cash, summaries of the tax, assessment, tax title, departmental, and
108
TOWN ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT
water accounts, as well as tables showing the condition and transac- tions of the trust and investment funds.
While engaged in making the audit, co-operation was received from all town officials, for which, on behalf of my assistants and myself, I wish to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted, - HERMAN B. DINE, Assistant Director of Accounts.
For complete details and figures consult Director of Accounts' Audit on file at the Selectmen's Office.
