REPORT OF THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE OF THE CELEBRATION OF PATRIOTS' DAY, APRIL 19th, 1925
The action of this Committee has been taken in pursuance of a vote of the Town at its last annual meeting wherein Miss Char- lotte Conant, Mr. Murray Brown, Mr. George A. Richardson, Mr. Allen Brooks Parker, and Mr. Theron Lowden were chosen a special initial committee to make such arrangements for the ob- servance of the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the Concord Fight as they might deem proper. Said Committee was given power to add to their number and to solicit, collect and dis- burse money for this purpose.
The Committee met promptly and organized by choosing Allen Brooks Parker, Chairman; Theron Lowden, Secretary ; and George A. Richardson, Treasurer. By vote the following were added to the Committee: Mr. Augustine B. Conant of A. B. Conant Company, Boston, a son of Acton; Hon. John F. Fitz- gerald, former Mayor of the City of Boston, a former resident and frequent visitor to the town; Mr. George V. Mead of A. & O. W. Mead & Co., Boston, a son of Acton; Mrs. Eugene L. Hall ; Mr. Charles F. Edney ; Mrs. A. B. Pope; Mr. A. N. Hederstedt; Mrs. Walter Tuttle; Mr. James B. Tuttle; Mr. George S. Todd; Mr. Arthur F. Davis; Mr. E. Z. Stanley and Mr. Oliver D. Wood.
The Committee decided that the celebration should include, First-Public Exercises in the Town; Second-Participation in the celebration at Concord in acceptance of an invitation from that Town; Third-The decoration of Public and Private Build- ings within the Town. To this end the following were chosen Chairmen of Sub-Committees : Allen Brooks Parker, Program and Speakers; George A. Richardson, Finance; Theron Lowden, Music; E. Z. Stanley, Decorations; A. N. Hederstedt, Minute Men; Arthur F. Davis, Float for the Concord Parade; Herman C. Knight, Children's Programs; Murray Brown to act in conjunc- tion with the Police. Mr. Augustine B. Conant and Hon. John F. Fitzgerald gave special and valuable assistance to the sub-Com- mittee on Speakers.
Invitations were sent to the following persons to be present and take part in the Public Exercises in the Town: Calvin Cool-
101
idge, President of the United States; Charles G. Dawes, the Vice- President; John M. Weeks, the Secretary of War; United States Senators Frederick H. Gillet and William M. Butler; Congress- men George Holden Tinkham; Alvin T. Fuller, Governor of the Commonwealth; John F. Fitzgerald, former Mayor of Boston; Reverend Frederick Brooks Noyes, an honored son of Acton; the Chairmen and members of the Celebration Committees of Con- cord and Lexington; the Selectmen of all the adjoining Towns and other persons of less prominence.
The Davis Monument, the Town Hall and some other Public Buildings were decorated with flags and bunting at the expense of the Committee. Very many of the stores and private dwellings in all parts of the Town were likewise decorated at private ex- pense. To every person whether a resident of the Town or not the streets gave a very gorgeous and brilliant appearance. In this matter the Committee was very grateful to the townspeople for their patriotic motives.
Public Exercises were held in the Town Hall at 2 o'clock Sunday the 19th. His Excellency, the Governor; Hon. John F. Fitzgerald, and Reverend Frederick Brooks Noyes were present and gave addresses. Prayer and Benediction were offered by local clergymen. Music was furnished by twenty pieces from Gorton's "Y. D." Band. Among the selections played was "The White Cockade," the piece played by Fifer Luther Blanchard as the Davis Company marched to "The Old North Bridge," at Con- cord on the eventful morning. It had been the desire of the Committee to hold these exercises on the Common but the un- seasonably cold and severe rainy weather, which prevailed the entire day, prevented it. The Town Hall was used and was crowded to its utmost capacity. An overflow meeting for the children was held in the Congregational Church with special ex- ercises. The Governor was invited by the Committee to speak to them and although he was expected to speak at exercises in Medford that same afternoon he remained long enough to address the children. Previous to his entrance to the Town Hall, the Governor placed a wreath upon the tomb of Captain Isaac Davis and gave a brief address to the Company of Minute Men as- sembled on the Common. A considerable gathering of people unable to enter the Hall were present.
This Company of Minute Men, organized under the direction. of the Committee, consisted of about one hundred men and were uniformed as Revolutionary Soldiers. Colonel James P. Clare, retired, an officer of the Civil War, the Spanish War, and the Philippine Insurrection, was appointed to drill and command them.
Had the weather on this day been propitious, we feel that several thousand people would have attended the exercises.
The Company of Minute men had drilled much in prepara-
102
tion for its participation in the exercises of the Town and for the parade at Concord on the following day. The next day this Com- pany held an honored position in the parade at Concord and re- ceived probably the largest measure of applause from the many thousands of people along the route of any unit in the entire procession. Among its members were several who had been mem- bers of the Acton Company organized for the celebration at Concord in 1875, fifty years previous.
In addition to the Company of Minute Men, Acton was rep- resented in the Concord parade by a float representing the Coun- cil of Officers held previous to the fight at the bridge and at which Davis uttered the memorable words, "I haven't a man that is afraid to go." In this tableau Charles E. Davis represented Captain Isaac Davis and S. Hammond Taylor, Major Butterick. Other characters were represented as follows: Allen Brooks Parker, Colonel John Robinson, of Westford; Francis Davis, Colonel James Barrett, of Concord; Arthur F. Davis, Captain William Smith, of Lincoln ; Andy Phillips, Captain David Brown, of Concord; Robert Charles, Captain Charles Miles of Concord; Allen Brooks Parker Jr., Captain John Moore of Bedford. Though other officers were present at this Council, it was not possible to represent them all. At this Council Acton was in all probabil- ity represented by at least three other officers of high rank. The. float consisted of a proscenium arch with the memorable words of Davis super-scribed and the tableaux beneath.
On the afternoon of the same day Vice-President Dawes and his suite came to Acton upon the invitation of the Committee and placed a wreath upon the Davis tomb. The day had been a cold and dismally blustering one up until the Vice-President was about to arrive at the center of the Town, when suddenly the air cleared, the wind abated, and the sun, breaking through the van- ishing clouds, smiled with benignity. The Vice-President spoke briefly to the large gathering of people who, braving the discom- fiture of the weather, were assembled. A photograph was taken of the Vice-Presidential party with the Monument in the back- ground. Lieutenant Governor Allen came with the party as the representative of the Commonwealth. The Minute Men were present in formation.
For the purposes of this celebration the Committee raised $988.81, nearly all of which was by private subscription. It ex- pended $722.38. The balance of $266.43 is now on deposit in The Middlesex Institution for Savings and is drawing interest. We recommend that this amount be received by the Town and retained by the Town Treasurer as a fund to accumulate and to be used for a similar celebration some subsequent anniversary of this notable event.
The Committee has appointed Mr. Allen Brooks Parker as historian of the Celebration and an account is in process of
103
preparation for preservation in the Town Library. This account will include the speeches delivered, photographs and newspaper accounts.
In the conduct of this celebration only privately contributed funds were used. None other were available. This fact, together with the enthusiasm manifested by all who had any part in the carrying out of the plans of the Committee, must be counted as of great credit to the patriotic vigor of the citizens of the Town and may be regarded as ample evidence that the fire of 1775, which was manifested in 1861, 1898 and 1917, still lives in the strength of its manhood and full of its original spirit.
We recommend that this Committee be discharged.
ALLEN BROOKS PARKER,
for the Committee.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
To the Voters of Acton :
The School Committee presents herewith its annual report for the year 1925 and its estimates of requirements for 1926. With this report of the Committee is presented the Superintend- ent's and Principal's report which have been considered and accepted by the Committee. In the School Committee's report for 1924 your attention was called to the increasing cost of send- ing our High School pupils out of town and it was suggested that the only way out of this difficulty was to build a High School in Acton. This agitation for the High School was started by the committee at the beginning of the year 1924 and was continued during that year.
At the March town meeting, 1925, it was voted to build a High School at Kelley's corner.
The building committee chosen at that time, all successful business men of the town, have worked enthusiastically and un- tiringly and at all times in harmony with the school committee.
As a result on the 11th day of January, 1926, the building committee allowed the high school pupils to occupy the class rooms on the second floor although the rest of the building was not completed.
Through untiring efforts of Principal Lawrance and his corps of teachers, the pupils of the High School, although handi- capped at the beginning of the year are now doing splendid work in the new building.
June 11, 1907, it was voted to send all High School pupils to Concord, but the freshmen class. This was continued until June 6, 1913, when all High School pupils were sent to Concord. We have continued to send these pupils out of town up to the beginning of the present school year 1926-a period of 18 years.
Transportation, which has been a big problem for us, has been partially solved, and while the new arrangement may not be entirely satisfactory to all, it has been the aim of the com- mittee to be fair to all and use all parts of the town as nearly alike as possible. With the purchase of two new school busses, to be operated by the school department for the elementary school, we call your attention to the fact that we are asking for transportation, only $3,000.00 this year while $8,000.00 has been asked for the past few years. Last year we asked for a total budget of $48,000.00 and had our High School pupils continue to go to Concord this amount would have been used. But again
6
we call your attention to the fact the expenditure for the year 1925 has been but $44,732.76 and we are returning to the Treas- ury the unexpended balance, $3,267.24.
This balance returned is due to the fact that a large propor- tion of money that ordinarily would have been paid to the town of Concord has been kept in Acton, and has also enabled the committee to carry on more extensive repairs than they other- wise could have done.
Repairs
New flush toilets have been installed at the Center school. The South school building has been painted and partly shingled and a new fence has replaced the old one. Besides this, electric lights have been installed at the West building and other minor repairs have been accomplished. It is the purpose of the com- mittee to paint one building each year, taking the West building this year (1926) and Center next (1927).
It has seemed advisable to the committee for some time to withdraw from the Superintendency Union of Acton, Carlisle and Littleton and to have a Superintendent for Acton only. This has practically been accomplished and at the present time we are only awaiting permission from the State Authorities to ap- point our own Superintendent. Until such time as this can be done Mr. C. W. Lawrance, principal of the High School, has been elected acting Superintendent of all schools.
As the operating expenses of the High School are still prob- lematical, we ask your indulgence and we can but say as Presi- dent Coolidge said in his plea to government executives for economy that too much economy might not be beneficial but he chose rather to make every dollar count and to obtain the maxi- mum of results with the money in hand.
This is the policy of your present school committee.
There has been received on account of schools, to be paid into Town Treasury as follows :
General School Fund, Part I $2,017.40
Mass. School Fund (Income Tax, Part II) 6,696.03
State Aid-Vocational School 380.22
Mass. Superintendency Fund 804.14
Mass. Superintendency Fund 94.38
Dog License
444.54
Tuition, Cunningham Children 102.00
Tuition, Sadler Child
32.25
$10,570.96
From the above it will be seen that the net cost of the schools raised by taxation is $34,161.60.
Respectfully submitted, LULU. L. CLARK, Secretary of Board.
