In accordance with the General Laws, public notice is hereby given that the Town Clerk is prepared to furnish to parents house- holders, physicians and midwives, applying therefor blanks for return of births as required by law.
READ THE LAW
Parents, within forty days after the birth of a child and every householder within forty days after a birth in his house shall cause notice thereof to be given to the clerk of the town where such child is born. General Laws, Chap. 46. Sec. 6.
SOME OF THE MANY REASONS WHY BIRTHS SHOULD BE RECORDED
To establish identity.
To prove legitimacy.
To prove nationality.
To show when a child has a right to enter school.
To show when a child has a right to seek employment under the Child Labor Law.
To establish the right of inheritance to property.
To establish liability to military duty as well as exemption therefrom.
To establish the right to vote.
To qualify to hold title to and to buy or sell real estate.
To establish the right to hold public office.
To prove the age at which the marriage contract may be en- tered into.
To make possible statistical studies of health conditions.
Your co-operation to the end that all births may be properly recorded will be greatly appreciated.

54 TO DOG OWNERS AND KEEPERS
I would like to impress upon the owners and keepers of dogs the advisability of paying their dog licenses promptly when they · become due, and thus avoid the necessity of placing a list of the delinquents in the hands of the Chief of Police for collection, which occasions unnecessary expense and annoyance to such owners and keepers. Dogs shall be licensed on or before March 31st. The owner or keeper of a dog which becomes three months old after March 31st in any year shall, when it is three months old, cause it to be registered numbered, described, licensed and collared as required by law.
Whoever violates the above provisions shall be liable to a fine of $15.00
Amount paid County Treasurer on account of Dogs licensed for 1928, $777.00 for which amount I hold the County Treasurer's receipt.
I have issued 306 Sporting and Trapping Licenses. The fees for same have been sent to the Division of Fisheries and game, and I hold their receipts for same.
Respectfully submitted,
WILFRED E. LEARY,
January 21, 1929.
Town Clerk.

The report of the superintendent of our schools has covered most of the phases of the educational department of our town life. The School Committee are in closer contact with the public than the superintendent or any of the teachers. For this reason we feel that more criticism comes to us than to others who have to do with the schools.
63
Much of the criticism comes to us for want of information, they see some sides of the situation but not all. The School Com- inittee would suggest that the townspeople, especially that part of the people who have children in the schools, visit the schools and become more enlightened in the workings of all departments.
With regard to the High School. it has been difficult at times to heat all rooms satisfactorily. Our janitor of long standing has been sick and new help have done as best they could.
