The work thus far has progressed smoothly. The children show interest and some aptitude for Drawing. In September and October we studied nature drawing ; in November and December, constructive work, and for the next three months we are studying object drawing. Later we shall take up design.
Respectfully submitted,

Report of Music Supervisor
MR. J. H. CARFREY,
Supt. of Schools of Lynnfield, Mass.
Dear Sir :
The report of the music for the present year will necessarily be similar to those of preceding years. In many respects it is a pleasure to note a satisfactory gain.
The teacher who from year to year has striven to make each lesson a step to something higher for the next has grown strong in the work and the class shows corresponding advancement.
Some teachers show individuality in their work, thus indicat- ing that each lesson has been carefully prepared, such preparation cannot fail to show in every pupil's work, and in the year the results are surprising.
I have always found in grouping four grades in one class in Music the best results cannot be obtained, the work the highest class can take is too difficult for the lowest, yet the teachers say there is no time for two music classes. Another difficulty is the constant changing of pupils. In one school on nearly every visit I have found that some pupil has moved away and another has taken the place vacated. It has often happened that the pupil moving into the place has never had music in school, while the one who went, knows the work well-this naturally increases the labor.
The Cecillian Music Reader was introduced into the upper grades this year and the pupils seemed to appreciate the change and show their appreciation in the preparation of their lessons. We hope to make a corresponding change in the Primary grades.
The independence of the pupil is developed by the use of the individual exercises of the Weaver Septen and much attention has been given to this line of work.
If no unforeseen interruption occurs, I am looking forward to a year of steady advancement.
. Respectfully submitted, GEORGE E. WALES,
Supervisor of Music.

Report of Board of Selectmen
The Selectmen respectfully submit the following report :
The regular meetings of the Board have been held each month, and the routine business has been attended to. Special meetings of the Board have been held, from time to time, as the occasion has required. The work has been done with the single thought of serving the town in the most efficient manner.
The regular appointments were made at the beginning of the year and we feel that the officers appointed to fill the various offices have performed their work faithfully.
The town lines between Lynn, Saugus, Middleton and Lynn- field were perambulated as the law requires and the bounds were found to be in good condition and in their proper places.
At the annual town meeting in March, 1910, $3,500 was appropriated for the use of this department. This amount has been expended for salaries of town officers. interest on notes, miscellaneous bills, printing, soldiers' relief, forest fires and sup- port of poor. A full account of expenditures will be found in the financial report of the auditor.
Four hundred dollars was also appropriated to paint the town buildings at Lynnfield Centre. This has been expended for the purpose and we feel that the work has been as well done as we could expect. There were repairs which had to be made before the painting could be done. The cost of these repairs was taken out of the money appropriated.
A partially successful attempt was made to stop the reckless driving of automobiles through the town. Several arrests were made. Other reckless drivers were stopped and requested to drive more carefully. As no funds were available, we could not ush this work as it should have been done.
41
The State Highway Commission gave the town the sum of $250 to be expended in grading Broadway, from the Saugus line toward Salem slreet as far as possible.
This Board gave the matter into the hands of Mr. Frank Newhall and the grading was done. This has greatly improved that part of Broadway.
We hope to be able to obtain more money this year to continue the work.
The work of the overseers of the poor has not required as much attention as usual. We have been fortunate in not having as many cases to take care of.
There have been several cases of contagious disease reported during the year. The several houses where these cases have occurred have been thoroughly fumigated.
In closing, we would draw attention to the fact that Lynn- field is growing rapidly. Numbers of well-built houses have been erected in both parts of the town and new citizens are constantly coming to us. We wish to extend to them a hearty welcome.
The future looks bright for the town and we predict that the coming year will be the most successful in the history of the good old town of Lynnfield.

Selectmen of Lynnfield.

Report of the Assessors
TO THE CITIZENS OF LYNNFIELD :
In making a report of the work of our Board would say that the revaluation of the town is in all probability most prominent in the mind of the public, and while it may not be quite correct in every instance, yet we have tried to be fair and just, and in publishing the same have given all a chance to see wherein we may have erred, and we are open to correction, and in cases where the values have been too low in comparison to others, we trust the assessors for the coming year will try and adjust them.
While the increase in valuation has reduced the rate to $12.00 it remains with you to decide whether it continue so or not. As the town is growing, with a little economy for a few years, or until it can pay some of its indebtedness, it ought to be able to spend more money for improvements.
The number of houses is 48 more than last year and more are being built.
For other statistics, see valuation book.

Report of Cemetery Commissioners
TO THE CITIZENS OF THE TOWN OF LYNNFIELD :
The Cemetery Commissioners respectfully submit their an- nual report for the municipal year ending February 1, 1911, including the receipts and expenditures, the improvements and needs of the cemeteries.
At a meeting of the Commissioners the following resolutions were made :-
That a more comprehensive and systematic register of the lots receiving perpetual care be kept by the Commissioners, in order that the people interested may have a more efficient and permanent record ;
That permanent markers be placed upon the lots receiving perpetual care that they may be more easily watched and distin- guished ;
That a few trees be set out each year along the avenues of the different cemeteries ;
That more attention be given to the setting of corner-stones and grading of lots that the avenues and walks may be kept straight ;
That in order to carry on the work successfully for the en- suing year at least one hundred dollars ($100.00) will be needed in addition to the unexpended balance.
Ill luck attended the setting out of the first lot of trees but the nursery has promised to replace them and it is hoped that better luck will follow in the future.
The cemeteries have been mowed and kept in good condition, and especially good care has been taken of the endowed lots.
45
The front wall of the Old South Burying Ground which was in very bad condition has been torn out, straightened and relaid in cement, making a very substantial piece of work as well as making a greater improvement to the town.
With perfect harmony and sincere interest in the improve- ment of the cemeteries the Commissioners are putting forth their best efforts in the interests of their work.

The past year has seen several innovations in connection with the good work being done by our Public Library.
A commodious Reading Room, well equipped and lighted, having been opened at the Library Building.
Magazines have been added for the pleasure and convenience of its patrons, by the Board of Trustees, and we are pleased to state that many periodicals have been presented by individuals who are interested in this department of our library.
A branch library has also been established at the home of Mrs. Angelia Palmer, Broadway, Lynnfield, and is in charge of Mrs. Cora Pike, who reports that unusual interest is being taken by the people of that village, ninety-four persons having applied for books from December 1 to March 1.
