Walks have been laid out and graveled, and the horseshoe courts relocated. A play area for younger children has been constructed, and equipped with a new approved type of swings and see-saws. A shelter is to be erected in this area at a later date. A basketball court and a volley ball court are also provided for, but have not been completed.
On the Washington Street frontage, an ornamental field stone wall, and equipped with an iron grille work gate at the main entrance, is being erected as this report is written. A chain link fence is also being erected along the Southerly and Westerly fronts of the Park.
The baseball diamond will be relocated, with the home plate near the south-west corner of the Park, and the bleachers located along the third base line and near the present tennis courts. By this new ar-
147
rangement of the diamond, greater areas are set aside for other sports and may be used to better advantage.
It is expected the entire construction job will be completed before spring park activities begin, and the Town will possess an excellent ball park.
Special Play Areas
Because of the added interest in baseball and the forming of boys ball teams in different sections of town, the Board received short term leases from certain public-spirited citizens to parcels of land on Salem Street, at the corner of Torre Street; and on West Street, at the cor- ner of Willow Street, owned by Mr. Frank J. Torre and Mrs. Florence Wiberg, resepectively.
These areas were used extensively throughout the school vacation period, E. R. A. instructors being assigned to each area.
In the fall, Mr. Logan Dickie gave the Board a lease on the land containing his pond, off Curtis Street. A dam was built to more effici- ently flood the pond for winter ice skating activities, which were much enjoyed by devotees of this sport during the winter months.
Leach Park
General maintenance work was carried on during the year, grass mowed, walks and shrub beds edged and repaired, trees and shrubs trimmed, and the entire area kept in good appearance.
Reading Common
The Common received its usual care, grass was kept mowed, trees and shrubs trimmed, shrub beds edged, sidewalks edged, raked and smoothed.
W. P. A. Recreation Project
No Park Department account for Supervised Play having been ap- proved for 1936, playground supervisors were assigned through an E. R. A. project. Miss Evelie Irving was assigned as Supervisor of the project, and was ably assisted by a corps of experienced instructors in several popular types of sports. Classes in baseball, tennis, golf, arch- ery, boxing, horseshoe pitching, croquet and basketball were organized for the older children and were very well attended throughout the sea- son. Activities for the smaller children in the barn and enclosed play area included jig-saw puzzle work, ring toss, bean bag, ping-pong, sing- ing games, paper cutting, drawing, checkers, etc., as well as the ever popular slides, sea-saws, and swings. Appended herewith is a copy of the report of the W. P. A. Supervisor.

This attendance shows a marked increase over a period of four years.
The program was made up of the following activities :
Active Sports :
Tennis, golf, volley ball, tag football, boxing, wrestling, tenikoit, paddle tennis, table tennis and soccer.
Quiet Games and Individual Sports :
Checkers, ring toss, skee ball, dominoes, beanbag games and cro- quet.
Stunts and Tumbling :
The usual stunts and tumbling events suitable for the playground ages.
Handcraft :
Paper work, fancy work, jig saw, painting, coloring and scrap books
Dancing :
Omitted this year. No piano available.
Story Hour :
Held each afternoon. Children then acted out the story.
Tennis has always been the chief sport on the playground, and this year was no exception. We had two inter-playground matches with Winchester Playground teams. Reading formed teams for both boys and girls. Our teams won 6 out of 8 matches in the first competition. In the next meet Reading again defeated Winchester by taking 8 out of 13 matches.
This year we were able to offer archery to the children. The new equipment was used by both young and older attendants at the play- ground. Several shoots were held to determine the best archer. Golf :
Those who participated in the golf tournaments were instructed in the proper golf tournament technique. There was group and individual instruction in form and driving for distance.
Handcraft classes had a much larger enrollment this year and pro- duced some very fine work. Doll's furniture, book ends, door stops, and brush holders. The fancy work class made scarfs, table runners, doilies, and cross stitch work.
149
One day each week was set apart for Special Events, such as Track Meets, Stunt Days and Show Days. Tournaments :
The first week of August found the three playgrounds competing in contests and tournaments in sports and individual activities. Silver loving cups were presented by the Board of Public Works. All partici- pants worked hard and fairly to win the awards.
The closing day was an eventful one. The Reading Theatre man- ager turned over his theatre to the playground children for a Safety Day program. There were safety pictures and a special feature pic- ture for the children. An officer from the Governor's office addressed the group and demonstrated safety methods. The afternoon events consisted of a gala track meets, races, dashes, relays, throws, and jumps were the order of the day. Both boys and girls had their special events. There were also exhibitions of individual sports. The final event was the awarding of the silver cups. The boys and girls gathered to cheer their friends as they received their trophies.
This spring a Baseball League was organized. There were two. divisions of four teams each. Players ranged from 17 to 45 years of age. More than 150 adults were team members and participants in this community league. The Selectmen contributed the equipment for the league. This recreational activity answered a need that had long been felt in Reading. Four evenings a week were set aside for games. The winners of each division met for the championship in September. Plans are under way for a similar league next year. The season closed with 150 men sitting down to a turkey banquet.
Junior Baseball League :
This league enrolled boys between the ages of 5 and 17. There were two leagues of four teams each, 11 years and under in one division and 12 to 15 in the other division. Inter-field rivalry was very keen. The winning team in each division were awarded sweat-shirts by the Board of Public Works.
August 5, 1935 found 150 boys at Fenway Park to see the Red Sox play the Yankees. August 20, 1935 found the same group at Braves Field. The boys had looked forward to seeing these games all season.
A Field Day was held the latter part of the month. There were con- tests in throwing, hitting, running the bases, throwing for distance and accuracy and fungo hitting for distance. The baseball season closed with the players attending and participating at Memorial Park in the final track meet.
Post-Playground Season-September to November :
The playground at Memorial Park was kept open for children and young adults. There were classes in archery, golf, tennis, and table tennis in which the High School students enrolled. The average daily attendance was 75. There were also post-school playgrounds at the
150
Prospect Street School and the Highland School. The attendance there was 100 daily. The instructors taught games suitable for the age groups, such as singing games for the lower grades, tenikoit, volley ball, squash, soccer, schlag ball, tag football, for the older classes. This was very successful and the school authorities would like to have the Play- ground instructors for post-school playground work in the spring.
Upon the completion of the W. P. A. Project at Washington Street Park the town will possess an excellent Park at this point. This Park and Memorial Park will require considerable attention to keep them in good condition.
I therefore recommend the addition of a part time caretaker to ' care for these parks during the summer months.

One main trunk sewer extension was made during the year, the labor being supplied by means of an E. R. A. project. This extension was made on Mt. Vernon Street, from the manhole at School Street easterly to the side-line of Chute Street. A total length of 130.0 feet of 8" sewer main, six Y connections for future house services, and a man hole were included in this extension. One house was connected to the new main.
The trunk sewer on Sanborn Street, north of Woburn Street was excavated and cleared of roots; also the trunk line on Main Street, near the Reading Greenhouse, was dug up and several pieces of timber found in the main were removed. Flushing of main trunk sewers was carried on periodically through the year.
Nineteen house sewer connections became clogged during the year, and were cleared. Roots growing in the pipes were the cause of the majority of the stoppages. At the Congregational Church a new man hole on the church property was built to relieve a condition at the sewer connection of the church which has caused frequent stoppages. Two house connections were relaid for a portion of their length, at no cost to the owners, due to improper laying of the services when origin- ally installed.
Twelve new house sewer connections were made, totaling 575.80 feet in length. The reduction of sewer entrance charges, adopted in 1934, resulted in a substantial monetary saving to the owners of the property so connected.
No work was done in 1935 on repairing leaks in the main trunk sew- ers, due to other necessary work, although much remains to be accom- plished in this respect.
The sewer department is greatly handicapped in cleaning main sewers because of the lack of proper cleaning equipment. I therefore recommend the purchase of modern sewer cleaning equipment.

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of Reading :
The School Department has operated during the past year within its budget appropriations and is returning to the Town unexpended balances as follows: Salary Account $677.16; Maintenance Account $217.03; Agricultural Account $542.43; Industrial Tuition $1,028.28.
Last year the Committee recommended a partial restoration of salary cuts as of September 1st. The Town did not vote the required money. The Department has found itself in a competitive field and has encountered increasing difficulty in attracting experienced, desir- able teachers at the salaries now prevailing in Reading, when all Federal and State employees have received restoration of salary reductions and the majority of the cities and towns of the State have made complete or partial restoration of salaries to teachers. If we continue long at a disparity in salaries, our teaching force must suffer. Last year the turnover in the teaching force was 18%. Other factors contribute tow- ard this result, but it is, nevertheless, a far too high percentage. The Committee recommends a complete salary restoration as of March 1st. In fairness, we believe this is due to a faithful group of employees. It is essential if we are to maintain our own present standards.
We regret to record that during the year five teachers of experience were lost by death : Ethel S. Williams, Addie A. Copeland, Josephine M. Barlow, E. Frances Greenhalgh, and Ida C. Lucas.
Mr. Raymond A. Blaisdell, who has been Principal of the Walter S. Parker Junior High School since the school was opened, resigned to accept a principalship in Newton. Mr. Robert F. Perry from Nashua, N. H. was elected Principal of the Junior High School.
With the help of the Administrator of Federal activities, the Wel- fare and the Public Works departments, much work has been done on school grounds and buildings. The Prospect Street School grounds have been graded and partially fenced, with lawns between sidewalks and fences, and the rest of the grounds developed for play purposes. During the year, a survey of all school buildings has been made for fire hazards.
The athletic field at the Junior High has been in daily use by the Department of Physical Education and has staged all of the outdoor interscholastic contests. It has proved a factor in putting the athletic program on a self-sustaining basis.

To help meet the problems of unemployed youth, a program of adult education has been offered, with volunteer teachers conducting courses in International Relations, Photography, Carpentry and Shop Work, Money and Banking, Parliamentary Law, and Municipal Gov- ernment. Attendance, interest, and results warrant the further de- velopment of this plan. The thanks of the Committee is extended to the volunteer teachers and the group of advisors who have made this activity possible.
A plan for guidance and job-securing counsel was worked out de- pendent on W. P. A. aid. The budget did not permit this plan being set up when the Federal aid was not forthcoming.
Further study has been given to the Elementary Grades. The em- ployment of one additional teacher and the adoption of new reading and arithmetic textbooks are the tangible results of these studies.
An immediate problem facing the Department is that of transporta- tion. At present, we are providing transportation in the Elementary Grades to all children who live over a mile from the school they attend, and to children in the Junior High who live over a mile-and-a-quarter from the school. Because of the lack of sidewalks on some streets, the safety factor must be considered, but increasing numbers and increasing costs will soon make it necessary to spend substantially more money for transportation or to cut down the number transported.
The Committee has received the cordial co-operation of the Town officials and of the other Town departments. The Committee expresses its appreciation to the Superintendent, Mr. Pierce, the supervisors, the principals, teachers and other employees for their help in making the year one of progress and accomplishment.
Mrs. Helen B. Hartshorn resigned from the Committee because of a change in residence. The vacancy was filled by the appointment of Mrs. Esther D. Twombly.
The terms of Dr. Charles R. Wakeling and Mrs. Ruth A. Stembridge expire this year.
Respectfully submitted,
