Library Report
The trustees of the Robertson Memorial Library wish to report that we have placed new books, some fiction, some non- fiction, and some children's books on our shelves.
We would appreciate it if the people of the town would come in and read some of the new books and suggest any they would like to have purchased.
The building needs some repairs and we hope to have these made and also paint the outside of the Library.

Report of the State Audit
THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS Department of Corporations and Taxation Division of Accounts
STATE HOUSE, BOSTON
June 23, 1947
To the Board of Selectmen Mr. Casper P. Zimmerman, Chairman Leyden, Massachusetts
Gentlemen:
I submit herewith my report of an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Leyden for the period from April 11, 1946 to March 15, 1947, 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,
FRANCIS X. LANG,
FXL:CFB
Director of Accounts.
32
Mr. Francis X. Lang 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 Leyden for the period from April 11, 1946, the date of the previous examination, to March 15, 1947, and submit the following report thereon:
The financial transactions, as recorded on the books of the several departments collecting or disbursing money for the town or sending out bills for collections, were examined, checked, and verified.
The town clerk's records of dog and sporting licenses were checked with the record of licenses issued and the payments to the State and to the town treasurer were verified.
The appropriations, as voted by the town meeting, were listed from the records of the town clerk and were compared with the aggregate amounts raised by the assessors in the determina- tion of the tax rate.
The books and accounts of the town treasurer were examined and checked in detail. The recorded receipts were analyzed and checked with the records of the departments making payments to the treasurer and with the other sources from which money was paid into the town treasury, while the expenditures were com- pared with the selectmen's warrants and with the classified record of payments.
The cash balance on March 15, 1947 was proved by recon- ciliation of the bank balance with a statement furnished by the bank and by actual count of the cash on hand.
The savings bank books representing the investment of the trust funds in the custody of the treasurer were examined and listed, the income being proved and the withdrawals being veri- fied by comparison with the treasurer's record of receipts.
The records of payroll deductions on account of federal taxes as kept by the treasurer were examined and checked. The pay-
33
ments to the Collector of Internal Revenue were verified with the selectmen's warrants, and the balance in the general treasury on March 15, 1947 was proved.
It is recommended that the treasurer withdraw the amount of $3,425. from the savings deposits of the Quintus Allen School Fund Income and deposit it in the general cash to reimburse the treasury for expenditures which were made from general cash but which were chargeable to the above income account.
The books and accounts of the tax collector were examined and checked. The tax accounts outstanding at the time of the previous examination and the subsequent commitment lists of taxes were audited and proved with the warrants given by the board of assessors. The recorded collections were compared with the payments to the treasurer, the recorded abatements were checked with the assessors' record of abatements granted, and the outstanding accounts were listed and proved.
The outstanding accounts were verified by mailing notices to a 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 receipts for licenses issued by the board of selectmen were checked with the record of licenses granted, and the pay- ments to the treasurer were verified.
The surety bonds of the town officials required by law to furnish them for the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form.
The records of charges for the use of town-owned highway equipment were compared with the payrolls of the highway de- partment. The recorded collections were checked and the pay- ments to the treasurer were verified.
The records of bills sent out for collection by the bureau of old age assistance were examined and checked. The charges were listed and the recorded collections were compared with the payments to the treasurer.
The accounts of the sealer of weights and measures were examined. The recorded receipts were checked with the record of work done and the payments to the treasurer were verified.
The recorded receipts of the librarian for fines were checked,
34
the payments to the treasurer were verified, and the cash on - hand on March 15, 1947 was proved by actual count.
Ledger accounts were compiled, and a balance sheet, which is appended to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town on March 15, 1947.
In addition to the balance sheet, there are appended to this report tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash, summaries of the tax and departmental accounts, as well as tables showing the condition and transactions of the trust funds.
For the cooperation received from the several town officials while engaged in making the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assist- ants and for myself, to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,

Report of Superintendent of Schools
To the School Committee and Citizens of Leyden:
I am pleased to present herewith my seventh annual report as your Superintendent of Schools. This record covers the 176th year of public education in the Town of Leyden.
The year has been marked by community discussion con- cerning the solution of our immediate school problem, a new school building. This project has been paramount in import- ance only because our regular educational program has been carried on with few interruptions at a high plane of efficiency.
At the request of the School Committee, the State Depart- ment of Education was asked to survey our school housing and make recommendations for construction of a building that would be suitable for our program.
STATE DEPARTMENT RECOMMENDATION
Miss Alice Beal and Mr. Russell Mack of the State Depart- ment of Education were delegated to make the Leyden Survey and spent the greater part of January twenty-first and May fourteenth with the Superintendent, examining the school build- ings, the Town Hall, and our local statistics. Miss Beal suggests two plans which differ slightly from those suggested by the Su- perintendent a year ago.
Plan I: Construct a three-room eight-grade building ad- jacent to the Town Hall and remodel the Town Hall so that it may be used for assembly, physical education, and cafeteria purposes.
43
Plan II: Construct a two-room six-grade building adjacent. to the Town Hall and send all 7th and 8th grade pupils to Greenfield Junior High School. '
With our enrollment at sixty pupils, it would not be wise to. construct an eight-grade building of two rooms. The pupil and grade load would be too heavy for a teacher to obtain the best results.
Of course it must be realized that the moving of two or three large families in a small town can change the whole picture of en- rollment in a very short time.
In recommending Plan II, Miss Beal has this to say:
"If the seventh and eighth grade children attend Greenfield Junior High School, Leyden would need one less classroom and one less teacher.
"These seventh and eighth grade children would be provided an opportunity to meet with larger groups of boys and girls.
"These children would enter the Junior High School with the regular group rather than waiting until the ninth year as they now do. The adjustment would be easier than that which they now make when they join a group which has already been work- ing together as seventh and eighth grades."
Concerning the use of the Town Hall as the basis of a Cen- tral School Unit, she lists these advantages:
"1. Reducing the number of grades per teacher.
"3. Providing approved classrooms with adequate space, proper heating and lighting.
"4. Providing an auditorium where school assemblies, dramatics, folk dancing, music activities, visual aids, etc., can be developed and presented. Such activities offer opportunities to broaden interests; develop poise, confidence, leadership; encour- age the correct use of English; develop individual talent, appre- ciation of other children, habits of good group conduct, and home-school relationships.
"5. Providing a gymnasium which can be used by all of the children, for the following types of activities, when it is impossi- ble to hold the physical education activities out-of-doors.
"6. Providing facilities for a school lunch program. The

school lunch provides a nourishing, balanced noon meal, meeting. at least one third of the daily nutritive needs of the child. It helps to combat undernutrition and to maintain the health and vigor essential to the success of the teaching program; it is a cen- ter for the teaching of proper food selection and of good health habits; it provides an opportunity for social training of children; it presents a means of correlating classroom teaching with those interests and experiences of children which center around food; and it furnishes a means of interesting parents and others in the values involved and of stimulating community interest in the nu- tritional needs of children."
