REPORT OF TEACHER OF SEWING


Mr. C. L. Randall, Superintendent of Schools:


Dear Sir: My first report as teacher of sewing is as follows:


Last year the girls learned the different stitches by making simple work-bags. As it was the first year sewing was introduced into the schools and many of the girls even in the higher grades knew nothing of the work, it was im- possible to grade them very closely. After the work-bags were finished they had plain hemming, such as towels and napkins, also they were taught how to darn and mend.


Later the sixth grade made plain aprons. The seventh and eighth grades made pillow cases, aprons, underwear, fancy aprons and kimonos.


In the High School the girls first made work-bags and later middy-blouses, shirtwaists, skirts, children's rompers, and simple dresses.


The majority of the girls take great interest in their work and the exhibit held in June was excellent.


This year the children practice the stitches on white cloth with colored thread, then when they start their work- bags their work is much neater.


83


The seventh and eighth grades have hemstitched towels and are now making aprons for a sale which they will hold soon.


The work done is very practical. A girl may bring work from home for herself or for members of her family if she wishes to, provided she keeps the work in school until it is finished.


If we could have another long table, an electric iron and a sewing cabinet it would make the work much easier.


I wish to thank the superintendent and the regular


teachers for their help and encouragement in the past year.


Respectfully yours,


CORA E. STRONG.

SCHOOL PHYSICIAN'S REPORT


Wilmington, Mass., January 1, 1915.


Mr. Charles Randall, Superintendent of Schools:


Dear Sir: I beg to submit my annual report as School Physician for the Wilmington schools. During the month of March, several cases of scarlet fever developed, and twenty-one cases of it were reported throughout the year. Of these, four were not pupils. As the cases of scarlet fever were scattered through all the schools, I did not think it advisable to close them, although a few of the parents re- quested it. It is much safer to continue the school than to allow the children to wander at large, because at the present time the germ of scarlet fever has not been dis- covered, and consequently we do not know where the contagion comes from. Five cases of diphtheria were also reported.


By your request, two elementary books on Hygiene were sent me for my approval, and I most heartily recommend their use in the schools. (Primer of Sanitation, Ritchie, and Primer of Physiology, Ritchie.)


I find the parents are very generally adopting my advice that they have the pupils' teeth cared for; a matter which is being recognized more and more as a prime factor in the health of children. In this connection, I recommend that, if possible, the Board appropriate a sum of money to employ a dentist to care for the teeth of those children whose parents cannot afford to pay for the work.

School Physician.

REPORT OF NEW HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING COMMITTEE


Wilmington, Mass., February 11, 1915.


To the Citizens of Wilmington, Mass .:


The building committee on the New High School respect- fully submit the following report:


This committee by the terms of the Article at the last annual Town Meeting, were instructed to purchase a site, erect a building for High School purposes, and furnish the same, and $35,000 was appropriated for that purpose.


After considering a number of locations, we selected a lot adjoining the old High School, owned by Charles Osbon, containing by survey 3.425 acres, which was purchased for the sum of $2000.


We invited five well known architects, who make school house work a specialty, to submit plans, and the ones from Edward I. Wilson, 101 Tremont Street, Boston, Mass., were chosen as best suited to our needs, and we advertised for bids from these plans and specifications.


Thirteen bids were offered on these specifications, and the bid of Daniel L. Shepard of Boston, of $25,794 for the general contract other than the heating, being the low bid, was awarded to him, after investigation as to his financial standing.


87


Three bids were offered for the heating, the Stone, Underhill Co., of Boston, being the successful bidders at $3648.


Work was started on the foundation June 22, 1914, and on January 6, 1915, the building was accepted by the committee from the contractor, and formally dedicated and delivered to the School Committee, January 15, 1915.


The basement contains the gymnasium room, toilets, boiler room, domestic science room and coat room.


First floor: Assembly Hall for 250 seats, two class rooms at least thirty-eight pupils each, Principal and Teachers' Rooms.


Second floor: Home Study Room, 75 pupils; Laboratory and Lecture Room, 35 pupils; Class Room, 32 pupils; Com- mercial Room, 24 pupils.


The building is wired and equipped with electric lights throughout, and piped for gas and water, the gas being fur- nished by a Gilbert & Barker Gas Machine, located in the basement. The water supply is from an artesian well, which was already on the premises, and is pumped by an electric motor.


The building is equipped with electric clocks in every room, controlled by a master clock located in the Principal's room, which strikes at the expiration of each period, these being furnished by the Atlantic Clock Co., Boston, and there is a complete system of interior telephones.


The Hardware trim is Yale & Towne Mfg. Co., with outside sets on all inside doors making it impossible for anyone to be locked in the building. The outside of building is of red brick, laid in white mortar with a wide rough


88


finish joint, with terra cotta trimmings, and the foundation is of cement laid on good substantial footing.


We are protected on the roof by a five year guarantee bond, and the heating and plumbing are also covered by a bond.


The interior furnishings consist of seventy-five seats in the Home Study Room, thirty-five in the adjoining Class Room, two hundred Assembly Hall seats, teachers' desks, chairs etc., a completely equipped Chemical and Physical Laboratory furnished by the Knott Apparatus Co., of Boston.


The Domestic Science Room was furnished by the Wil- mington Woman's Club, which was very much appreciated by the committee on account of the very complete equip- ment which they installed, and the hearty co-operation which they have shown in the matter. The following financial statement shows the different expenditures connected with the work, leaving a balance of $43.40 unexpended, which the committee intend to spend on the construction of two laterals to connect with the cesspool to take care of the surplus water, on account of the clay land in which it is located. The committee would recommend that a sum of $1500 be appropriated to grade the grounds about the building, construct walks, etc.


Respectfully submitted,


HERBERT C. BARROWS, Chairman,


CALEB S. HARRIMAN, FRED H. ROBERTS, DUDLEY B. PURBECK


HOWARD M. HORTON, Secretary.

REPORT OF TOWN ACCOUNTANT


To the Board of Selectmen :


Herewith I beg to submit my report as Town Accountant for the year ending December 31, 1914.


Schedule 1 shows appropriations, receipts and payments of the different departments and accounts.


Schedule 2 gives the 1914 Balance Account, into which is carried overdrafts and unexpended balances of sundry accounts, as well as the surplus from Revenue Account, leaving a net deficiency for the year of $327.38, which has been transferred from Excess and Deficiency Account.


Schedule 3 gives Revenue and Estimated Revenue Ac- counts, and shows for what purposes the revenue was raised and sources from which it was derived.


Schedule 4 is a detailed statement of the Town Debt, showing amount owed at the beginning of the year, amounts borrowed and paid during the year, and balance outstanding December 31, 1914.


Schedule 5 contains balance sheets of January 1, 1914, and of December 31, 1914. The former is given for the purpose of showing at a glance the changes which have taken place in the Town's financial condition during the year.


Audits. The Town valuation book was examined and compared with the commitment book before the latter was delivered to the Collector. I have also audited the ac- counts and books of the Tax Collector, Trustees of Trust Funds, Treasurer of the S. D. J. Carter Free Lecture Com- mittee and Town Clerk's Dog Tax records, and their respec- tive accounts as rendered are correct. The Treasurer's books and vouchers have been checked, and the cash balance in Town Treasury, as appears in his account, five thousand five hundred sixty-six and five-one hundredths dollars ($5566.05) is correct.
