REPORTS OF COMMITTEES
APPROPRIATION FOR COPYING TOWN RECORDS
In 1908, Article 54 of the Warrant read:
"To see what action the Town will take look- ing to the duplication of the records of its Town Meetings, and to appropriate money for the same."
The action on this was:
"Voted, That the sum of $500 be appropriated to be expended under the Directors of the Milton Historical Society, in making a long- hand copy of the records of the Milton Town Meetings, so far as this appropriation will admit."
Miss Eleanor P. Martin was engaged for this work, and has completed the copy. This has been bound for its better preservation and is at present amongst the possessions of the Milton Historical Society at the Public Library. There is a balance remaining after the above work of eleven and 86/100 dollars ($11.86) which should be returned to the Town Treasury, closing the account. It is hoped that it may sometime be possible to have these records, which extend from 1662 to 1840, printed.
We ask that this report be accepted and the com- mittee discharged
Respectfully submitted, DIRECTORS MILTON HISTORICAL SOCIETY, By NATHANIEL T. KIDDER, Director.

MARCH MEETING
Voted, That the report of the committee be accepted and placed on file and the committee discharged.
GYMNASIUM COMMITTEE REPORT
The committee appointed at the last Annual Meeting of the Town to consider the question of a gymnasium on the Brook Road Playground recommends that a gymnasium be erected there, built of brick and steel at a cost of approximately seventy thousand dollars ($70,000), including equipment. Mr. Baxter dissents as to the amount ..
FOR THE USE OF THE SCHOOLS
Adequate gymnasium facilities should be provided for the use of the High School primarily. There are now over three hundred (300) pupils in the High School, all of whom, unless excused for disability, should be given regular instruction by exercises and games at a gymnasium, or out of doors whenever possible. Such a gymnasium would also be used by the upper classes of the Tucker and Vose schools.
The School Committee has unanimously resolved upon moving the High School to the Vose School building as soon as that building can be properly enlarged. That committee is also unanimously of the opinion that a gymnasium on the Brook Road Playground would meet the needs of the High School in an efficient and satis- factory manner, and that a gymnasium on that location is preferable to a gymnasium attached to the Vose School building.
PLAYGROUND AND GENERAL USES
Not every citizen realizes that Cunningham Park and Gymnasium are run at no expense to the Town; they serve the east section of the Town.
Brook Road Playground stands within easy reach
136
MARCH MEETING
of more of the population than does Cunningham Park. It is already a natural center for athletic games and sports and may readily be developed into a center for social meetings as well.
In spite of the present inadequate buildings, the use of the playground is growing steadily. Two years ago the total enrollment of boys and girls was nearly three hundred (300); this summer the average attendance was one hundred and eight-three (183), while the highest attendance for a single day was six hundred and twenty- five (625). A good many days in summer, owing to extreme heat, and in spring and autumn, owing to rain and mud, the playground cannot be used. To overcome this, and especially to care for the children in winter, a proper building should be built. If the young men and women of the neighborhood are to be attracted there as those at East Milton are to Cunningham Park by the gymnasium and bowling alleys, if boy scouts and kindred organizations are to be provided for, a large building is necessary. Ample space should be allowed for parents and friends who wish to be present at the games. In our opinion and that of others who have studied the situation for years, a large building ought to be built.
The accommodations required for the use of the schools would establish a standard which would amply care for any other uses to which a gymnasium here might be put. The plans of the building which we rec- ommend include eight bowling alleys, a good-sized hall suitable for boy scouts and other organizations; there is other space which can be fitted and equipped to meet needs as they develop, and as a part of the playground outfit it would be of inestimable use with its shower baths, lockers and dressing rooms. The object is to teach boys and girls to work and play with a proper consideration of the general use of the body more than to develop
137

large muscles or to break records; and to teach them to work and play with others without jealousy or quarrel- ling; the essence of "team spirit."
Special classes can be conducted for grown men or women who want them and corrective work given for those who are suffering from physical deformities of the body. The school or family physician can be consulted in cases of an unusual or acute character when school children require special attention.
BUILDING LARGE ENOUGH FOR TOWN MEETINGS
The main hall has been designed sixty (60) by one hundred (100) feet, a standard size for gymnasium. This will be ample to care for the growth of the schools for some time and to meet the municipal needs of the community.
Furthermore, such a hall would be large enough to seat thirteen hundred and fifty (1,350); one thousand (1,000) on the main floor, three hundred and fifty (350) in the galleries. Well lighted, well ventilated, amply supplied with exits, it would answer every need for a large hall to accommodate the Town Meetings for some years to come. The old Town Hall would naturally be retained for all smaller gatherings, and until it ultimately gives way to a new building. When a new Town Hall is built, the gymnasium would be useful for many pur- poses during its erection.
We have had prepared also plans for a gymnasium fifty (50) by eighty (80) feet which could be built for fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) and would supply all present needs excepting the Town Meetings, but would not provide for the future increased use without con- siderable expense for enlargement; nor would the smaller building provide as good accommodation for dances, lectures or local amusements.
