The New England Education League, in connection with the Music Teachers' National Association, unanimously approved the treatment of music as one of the major studies, giving it equal time with such studies as Latin, Greek, mathematics, etc.
There is probably no subject which has a greater educational value; reading, time, tone, rhythm, all claiming attention at the same time, requiring untiring patience and skill for an acceptable performance.
It trains the ear to detect the slightest intonation ; it teaches the eye to observe quickly and accurately ; it taxes the judgment and requires concentration of thought.
Nothing appeals more to the finer sensibilities of man than music; it arouses him to partisan action ; it moves the highest emotions ; it associates him with all that is ennobling. A song may move one to laughter or tears, or inspire one to the highest resolves and noblest purposes.
With all its attending perplexities, there is probably no lesson which the pupil so thoroughly enjoys ; it is restful ; it harmonizes the school and often brings order out of chaos.
The superintendents of the various towns seem to appreciate the ability of the teacher to conduct a successful music lesson. They have been known to select a teacher and offer a flattering salary solely on her ability to conduct a music lesson. They claim that the teacher has an excellent opportunity to show her
31
methods of teaching, control, patience, skill, amiability, and all those qualities so desirable in a good teacher.
I have very little to report as to the music in the town of Lynn- field, as my labors were so recently begun there. I have been well pleased with the character of the pupils as shown in their bright cheery faces ; with their eagerness to learn, and the enthu- siasm with which they have begun their lessons.
The success of the work depends largely upon the regular teacher ; she has charge of the daily lesson and the carrying out of the plans and methods of the supervisor. I always cheerfully accord to her the credit when success crowns her efforts.
The enthusiasm with which some of the teachers have com- menced their work, speaks well for the progress of music in Lynnfield for the future.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE E. WALES,
Director of Music.

Park Commissioners Report.
The conditions in the park remain about the same as at the time of our last report, the commissioners having made during the year only such alterations and improvements on the wharf and boat-house as seemed necessary. For various reasons it was considered by the Board unwise to level the railroad embankment at this time.
The Park privileges for the season of 1904 were leased to George Williams for $125.00.
The popularity of old Suntaug seems to be on the increase, people coming from all points enjoy boating, fishing and bathing in the cooling waters and to view the matchless scenic beauties of the Lake.
It is to be regretted that the suit now pending against the town has not been decided. We wish to call attention to the fact which has possibly been quite generally overlooked, that the difference between the legal rate of interest which will accrue to Mr. Silsbee and the rate at which the town can borrow money means the loss of several hundred dollars to the town up to the present time. In other words, owing to the delay; the town is compelled to pay an additional 2 per cent. per annum on the cost of the Park. In view of this fact, it would seem to be in the interest of economy to make every effort to have the case brought to trial at an early date.
CLARENCE H: MOULTON, FRANK NEWHALL, DANIEL G. HARVEY, Park Commissioners.

Report of Lynnfield Fire Dept.
TO THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN :-
Gentlemen :- In accordance with your request, I herewith submit my report of the fire department.
The past year has been a pleasant and prosperous one for the town's chemical engine company.
There have been but two alarms sounded, both of which we regret were belated.
July 4 the house of Mr. Geo. L. Westover was burned.
The family had left the house some time in the morning and gone in search of the day's pleasure. As has been the custom in our little village each Independence day, the church bell was rung at sunrise, noon and sunset, and when, at the stroke of twelve it pealed forth, the few people who knew there was a fire thought the bell was sounding the alarm and in consequence much time was lost.
When an alarm was really sent out, the house was a seething mass of flames. Few, if any, knew the family to be away, and not until the flames had burst their bounds was any one aware that all, was not well therein.
This one instance would seem to demonstrate that on In- dependence day, at least, a better understanding or arrange- ment of fire alarms should be had, especially when fires insist upon consuming our houses at the hour of noon or mayhap sunrise or sunset.
The second fire was the hotel at the south part, which broke out about 3 a. m., Dec. 1, 1904, and the first intima- tion that the fire company had of this was from an enterpris- ing journalist in a neighboring town, who telephoned at 7 a. m., making inquiries for publication. Immediately fol- lowing this inquiry we were requested by our selectman at the south part of the town to report.
We regret very much that we were not notified in a sea- sonable time, and at least given a chance to demonstrate the value of our chemical engine.
A proper fire alarm system is surely necessary.
Thanks to the enterprise of its members and the town's interest, we have comfortable, attractive quarters, and each member feels proud to be of the company.
CHAS. MCCARTHY, Chief.

It is understood on good authority that a legacy of $4,000 will soon be paid over to the library trustees by the admin- istrator of the estate of the late George N. Blake of Boston, the income of this fund to be devoted to the purchase of books for the Lynnfield Public Library.
The librarian reports under gifts to the library during the past year, 30 books from State of Massachusetts, 18 books from Mary A. Parsons, 15 bound volumes Atlantic Monthly from Geo. N. Faught of Boston, and several books and a bust of Washington from the estate of Anna Bryant ;
Also a fine portrait of the late George L. Hawkes, pre- sented by his nephews and niece, and portraits of Stephen G. and Mary U. Nash, presented by the late E. Putnam Upton.
Total number of books in' library, 2,203
Total number of loans during year, 3,182
Cash received from fines collected, $9.25
A supplementary catalogue now in preparation compris- ing all of the recent additions to the library will soon be is- sued to patrons free of charge.
For several years past it has been evident to the library trustees that the accommodations at the Town hall were becoming inadequate for the increasing needs of the Public library.
At a special town meeting held on Nov. 8, 1904, it was voted to authorize the public library trustees to utilize the old school building near the common for Public library pur- poses. After taking possession of the building it was decided to make such alterations and improvements as the finances of the trustees would permit. A fund of $400, a legacy by the will of the late George L. Hawkes, was available for this purpose and has been used accordingly.
The new accommodations will comprise a waiting-room 12×25, librarian's room 14x20, book room 14x16, reading
)
37
room 16x36, and an additional room on the second floor 12×25, for the use of the trustees.
The entire interior of the building is now practically as good as new with the exception of the floor in the reading room which can be improved later.
The building carried an insurance of $1,200 before these improvements were added, and it is the opinion of the trus- tees that the property, including the land, is easily worth $2,000 to the town of Lynnfield for library purposes. In addition to this, the library contains 2,203 books which we would value in the neighborhood of $1,500, making a total value of $3,500 on public library property in the town of Lynnfield.
