JANUARY 1, 1919.
The following report is submitted by the Board of Registrars of Voters for the year ending December 31, 1918.
At the March election of 1918 the Town voted to establish two voting precincts, making the center line of Linwood, Tufts and River Streets as a dividing line. This necessitated a revision of the entire voting list, placing all below the line mentioned in Precinct 2, and all above in Precinct 1. Precinct 2 was used for the first time at the State Election, November 5, 1918, and 695 ballots were cast out of a total registration of 931.
The total number of registered voters December 31, 1917, was 3186. During the year, at the various meetings of the Board, 282 names were added and 245 stricken from the list on account of death or removal, leaving the total number of registered voters December 31, 1918, as follows:
Whole number registered 3389
Whole number of men
3223
Whole number of women

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of the Town of Arlington:
A brief report of the work of the School Committee for the past year is herewith submitted to the Citizens of the Town for their consideration:
At the annual Town Meeting last March, the Town appro- priated the amount of money estimated by the School Com- mittee as necessary to efficiently conduct their department for the year and by careful administration and close economy we have kept our expenditures within the appropriation.
In common with other departments we have felt the stress and strain of war conditions, but we believe that the Arlington standard has been maintained in our school system.
Now that the war is over, and all are working and planning to bring about normal conditions, we feel that the citizens of the Town should give their best thought to the problems con- cerning the education of their children.
In accordance with the vote of the Town the Committee is making a study of the question of providing additional school accommodations and will make a report at the annual Town Meeting. This need is becoming more imperative each year and we are obliged to extend the expedient of alternating ses- sions to more schools and classes. During the past year it was necessary to place the Locke and Junior High Schools on this plan and to increase the length of the school day in these schools. We recognize the inconvenience occasioned by this program and have tried to alleviate the annoyance as far as it was pos- sible for us to do so. The Committee has reported the crowded conditions of the school buildings for a number of years and we hope the Town will agree to take immediate and liberal measures to relieve a situation that has become most acute.
Last spring Mr. William I. Marsters, Mr. Carl N. Quimby and Mr. Alton F. Tupper retired from the Committee and the Town elected Mr. Fred L. Dawson, Mr. John R. Foster and
102
103
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
Mr. Claude A. Palmer to take their places. Both Mr. Tupper and Mr. Quimby had served as chairman and for a number of years had given their time and ability to their public duties. Miss Florence C. Hicks, who had been a member of the Com- mittee for more than four years, resigned in November. Her resignation was accepted with deep regret for, as a public ser- vant, Miss Hicks had rendered most faithful service.
The Junior High School, which has been a part of our edu- cational system for more than three years, is considered a very important unit. It is fair to state, however, that Junior High Schools are still in the experimental stage, and the Committee is keeping in close touch with the researches of educators and with the programs adopted in other communities in order that we may obtain the most efficient results from our school. In September Mr. Bradford E. Swift, sub-master in the Chelsea High School, was elected principal of the Junior High School to succeed Mr. Harold E. Jackman, who had served the Town faithfully for three years.
The preliminary steps have been taken this year to establish a dental clinic in the Town under the direction of the Board of Health and the School Committee, but because of the high prices of equipment and materials, the project has not been put into active operation. We are pleased to record that the matter received the enthusiastic support and co-operation of the Arlington dentists.
In connection with such matters we are of the opinion that a definite benefit would accrue to the Town if more preventive and more corrective measures were employed in the schools. The school nurse has become such a valuable factor in our School System that we shall soon require the entire time of a nurse. A comparatively small sum spent for more medical inspection and for the segregation and special help of children suffering from such diseases as tuberculosis, would bring a large return to the community in the way of healthy and useful citizens.
Our teachers and pupils have given a splendid demonstration of patriotism by their whole-hearted participation in the war activities, the work of the Junior Red Cross being worthy of especial mention.
104
ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
We are indebted to the Selectmen for their courtesy in per- mitting the meetings of the School Committee to be held in the Town Hall during the winter months of this year. This arrangement was made to effect a saving in coal and the results have been quite satisfactory.
Last year we increased the salaries of the teachers by a mod- erate sum and paid a bonus of $50 for the year to all teachers receiving less than $1000. In response to a petition received from the teachers for an increase in their salaries this year, we have made a careful study of the whole question, and have investigated the compensation received by teachers in other towns comparable to Arlington. We have come to the con- clusion that their claims, in the main, are justified and shall request that a larger appropriation be made for salaries.
The sum of money appropriated each year for general repairs is barely sufficient for the purpose, with the result that the extraordinary repairs are deferred from year to year. We believe that a special appropriation should be made for such matters, as some of them are immediately necessary and should be attended to as soon as possible.
We submit the following recommendations for the consider- ation of the citizens:
The renovation of the ventilating and sanitary systems in the Russell School; the electrification of the fire alarm system in most of the schools; the installation of a sprinkler system in the Junior High School basement and the placing of exits in this basement; and the reconstruction of the Locke School playground to make it safe for use of the children. We also desire to call to the attention of the citizens the lack of play- ground facilities at the High School and recommend that steps be taken to drain the vast area in the rear of the building so that the large number of children attending this school may have a proper place to spend their periods of recreation.
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN A. BISHOP, Chairman.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE ROBBINS LIBRARY
To the Town of Arlington:
The Trustees of the Robbins Library submit their annual re- port. The circulation shows a gain of 47, with a total of 56,949 as compared with 56,902 in 1917. Children's Room shows a loss of 113, with 17,783 as against 17,896 in 1917.
Attendance in Reading Room shows a gain on week days of 835-23,497 as against 22,662 in 1917, and a loss on Sundays of 536-2,380 as against 2,916 in 1917.
The attendance in Children's Room has risen from 11,304 to 12,433, a gain of 1,129, with a loss of 452 on Sundays, 2,027 as against 2,479 in 1917.
There has been a gain of 214 in books taken from the stack room, 37,336 as against 37,122 in 1917. The use of periodicals shows a loss of 211-2,175 as against 2,386.
There was a gain in books and periodicals loaned from the Arlington Heights Branch, 4,076 as against 4,045 in 1917. There was a gain of 86 in books and periodicals sent from the Centre to the Heights, 861 in 1918 as against 775 in 1917. The Postal Reserve shows a gain of 15-797 in 1918 as against 782 in 1917.
There was a gain in books and periodicals loaned from the East Branch, 6,682 as against 5,422 in 1917. Visitors and readers at the Branch were 2,719. This was a falling off in attendance, the greater attendance of the previous year being due to the newness of the enterprise.
The closing of the Library from September 27 to October 18 on account of the influenza epidemic accounts for the falling off of attendance and circulation, where it has occurred, and may account for a smaller registration than last year, 943 as against 1,084 in 1917.
The Library has co-operated as best it could in the various war

work campaigns, by the display of posters, advertising matter, distribution of circulars, etc.
It has collected and sent for distribution many books and periodicals for the use of the soldiers and sailors, at least four times as many as last year. A collection of German and French war souvenirs, presented to the Town by Lieut. Harold L. Frost, has been placed for safekeeping and exhibition in a showcase in the Reading Room.
Miss Nina L. Winn, after four years of faithful service with us, has accepted a position in Somerville Public Library as an assistant. The ceiling and walls of the art gallery have been redecorated, and we would call attention to the rare excellence of the print collection which Mr. Winfield Robbins presented to the Library several years ago.
The special donors for the year were Mrs. E. C. Turner, Mr. Emil Schwab, Prof. W. MacNeile Dixon of London, Mrs. True Worthy White. The editor of the Advocate has continued to send us a file of that paper.
Exhibitions of photographs, etc., have been given in addition to those reported hitherto.
