The bill failed of passage. However, there was a bill passed to aid towns in transportation of pupils.
Lynnfield profited by the passage of this legislation to the extent of $6,298.33 which is 62% of the total budget for transportation in 1947.
A bill, S 164, has recently been filed for the present session of the legislature to increase state aid for support of schools from $6,000,000 to $28,500,000.
Our present state aid-amounts to approximately $270 per classroom. Several states give aid of over $3,100 per classroom.
If this bill should pass in its present form, Lynnfield would receive about $30,668 in additional state aid. This represents approximately one third of the total school budget for 1948.
CURRICULUM GUIDE FOR PRIMARY GRADE TEACHERS
Answering a request of many school superintendents the State De- partment of Education appointed a General Chairman: Alice B. Beal, State Supervisor of Elementary Education and several Committees to develop a much needed Curriculum Guide for Primary Grade Teachers. Forty-six leading educators of the state served on Committees for three years to prepare this Curriculum Guide. They were assisted by seventy- five teachers and consultants who are connected with school systems and teacher training institutions throughout the state.
That all teachers using the Curriculum Guide might be informed as to its purpose, content, and use, an all day conference was held at Danvers in November. All teachers from the Kindergarten through grade six attended the Conference at which Miss Alice B. Beal, chair- man, and several well known educators who assisted in preparation of the Guide addressed the teachers at general sessions and at group con- ferences.
Our teachers are using the Guide in their endeavors to provide for the children the best type of educational opportunity.
DONATIONS
Surplus property donated during the year consisted of work tables, letter files, card files, waste baskets, paper, letter trays, dishes, serving trays, potato peeler and refrigerator.
The above donations represent a cash value of at least $2,000.
Surplus commodities contributed for our lunch room consisted of juices, jams, cheese, powdered milk, canned vegetables and potatoes.

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
CONTAGIOUS AND COMMUNICABLE DISEASES
The following contagious and communicable diseases of the pupils were reported:
Chicken Pox 5 Scarlet Fever 1 (?)
Whooping Cough 2 Ivy 7
Miscellaneous
Pediculosis 2
It is gratifying that a very few cases of contagion were reported in our school the past year.
By excluding all pupils and teachers from school with early symp- toms of the common cold the health and attendance of pupils will im- prove.
TUBERCULOSIS SURVEY
A survey was carried on this year at the Center School in Grades VII and VIII and among all the personnel at both schools.
Results:
Number having patch test 194
Number having negative reaction 157
Number having positive reaction 37
Number having X-rays 37
The reports on the X-rays taken will not be available for this year's report.
THE MASSACHUSETTS VISUAL TEST
The eyes of all children will be examined with the machine loaned by the State Department of Public Health and the results of the same will be in next year's report.
The routine health program carried on in the schools follows: Tu- berculosis clinic every three years, eye and ear examinations, diphtheria immunization clinics annually, weighing and measuring, clerical work, home calls, first aid, consultations with parents, teachers, school phys- ician, state supervisors, pupils and superintendent of schools.
CAFETERIAS
The school cafeterias are continuing to be a great aid to the wel- fare of our school population.
In closing I wish to thank all the people who have contributed to the welfare and health of our future citizens now attending our schools.
Respectfully submitted,
FLORENCE L. STOBBART, R. N.,
School Nurse

"Honor Before Honors," Let us take this phrase as guide, To lead us on the golden road, To success, and there abide.
On this shining golden road, Where everyone should tread, We may walk in glowing triumph, Mindful of the goal ahead.
If we have faith and courage, And a motto brave and true, "Honor Before Honors," Will lead us safely through.

REPORT OF LIBRARY TRUSTEES
REPORT OF LIBRARY TRUSTEES
To the Citizens of the Town of Lynnfield:
The Board of Trustees has endeavored to give the citizens of Lynn- field both good and efficient service, insofar as the limited budget has permitted. The following is a short resumé of the work accomplished during the year 1947:
The Main Library was painted with two coats of paint.
One corner of the library, which had decayed, was repaired. This repair work was unexpected, and since it was not in our budget, a spe- cial town meeting was called at which a sum was voted to cover the cost of this work.
It has been our constant endeavor to maintain the standards of the Library, by placing on the shelves the best and latest books available.
We sincerely hope our selection of reading material has been both satisfactory and pleasing to the citizens of this town, and would like to suggest if there are any particular books or types of books you would like to have in your library, that you leave your suggestions with the Librarian, in order that these books may be obtained for your reading instruction and pleasure.

REPORT OF PLANNING BOARD
The Lynnfield Planning Board submits its report for the year end- ing December 31, 1947.
The Board has held semi-monthly meetings during the past year, and several special meetings to accommodate developers soliciting in- formation. The Board was also represented at the Regional Meeting of the Federation of Planning Boards of the State in Salem, and several meetings with other Planning Boards of towns located on Route 128.
During the past year the Board has been working on plans for a business district for the Centre. Considerable demand exists in the Centre for a business district, and we have been working for an offset district, that will not interfere with traffic, and be a hazard for the fu- ture. We desire that any business district provide its own parking space and leave all present streets free for usual traffic. We have two sites before us for consideration, but are unable to report anything definite on either at this time.
The new developments that we have approved, and have under con- sideration have made available for building approximately 400 lots, many of these have been sold and will have homes erected upon them when building material is available.
In order to retain the rural character of the town we have spon- sored an amendment to the Zoning By-Law by adding thereto a single residence district, in which the total area required for a home will be 40,000 square feet. (See Article in Warrant for Annual Town Meeting for particulars). A public hearing will be held in the Town Hall, Feb- ruary 16, 1948 on this Article.
69
REPORT OF PLANNING BOARD
The adoption of this amendment will give the town two Residential Districts, one requiring 10,000 square feet, and permitting two family houses, and the new district will confine itself to one family houses and require 40,000 square feet.
Other towns in the State have adopted this principle. Carlisle, Dover, Needham and Sherborn have a residence district requiring one acre of land for a house. Bedford, Brookline, Canton, Concord, Lincoln, Milton, Weston and Westwood have a district for residences requiring 40,000 square feet.
It is a well established fact that density of populations increases the cost of town government, and the adoption of this amendment will tend to keep at a lower level the tax bill of the town.
This will also appeal to those prospective buyers of land in Lynn- field who desire to come into the town on account of its rurality, as it gives them assurance that the town will retain this feature.
With intelligent planning this town can and should retain its pres- ent charm of being a New England village whatever the future popu- lation may be.
We still have before us the project of a town forest, and hope the fifty acres set aside for that purpose may be added to.
The Planning Board meets in the Selectmen's room in the Town Hall on the first and third Wednesdays of each month, and cordially invites anyone that wishes to confer with it.
