The Hamblin L, Hovey Memorial Institute is a brick structure of attractive design, located at 545 Main Street. A main auditorium seats 1200. A small lecture hall, served by a kitchen, accommodates approximately 100. Well endowed, its purpose is to "provide recreation, amusement, instruction and baths" without charge to the men of Waltham. Lectures and educational extension courses predominate.
14
The Jonas Willis Parmenter Rest Home, directly opposite the Institute, provides room and board and medical attendance if needed for stated periods of convalescence to women residents of Waltham.
The above mentioned buildings are models of their type, very well furnished and ably managed. Both are unique institutions doing a splendid work.
WALTHAM PUBLIC LIBRARY
Gift of Francis Buttrick is a structure of beauty. Close by is the Waltham Post Office another public building of attractive design.

In the City of Waltham proper are over 6,000 public school pupils enrolled in sixteen buildings, many of which are of modern design and construction. Two Junior High School buildings are of impressive design, each provided with a spacious auditorium and gym- nasium extensively used for community purposes. A Trade School trains boys for immedi- ate entrance to four different trades.
PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS
In addition to its public schools, Waltham has three parochial schools, two of which provide High School courses. St. Joseph's Grammar School and St. Mary's High School have an enrollment of 1318, St. Charles Grammar and High School an enrollment of 720, and St. Pierre's an enrollment of 478.
WALTHAM SCHOOL FOR GIRLS
The Waltham School for Girls located on Lexington Street, one mile north of City Hall was founded in 1860 by Benjamin Worcester and was co-educational. In 1912 it became the Waltham School for Girls. The property is owned and controlled by the New Church Institute of Education. The estate embraces approximately ten acres of rolling land with sloping hillsides bordered by a clear running stream and made picturesque by beautiful old shade trees. Chapel Hill is that division of this institution which embraces studies in grades below the eighth and is the co-educational branch of the school life. The Waltham School for Girls with Miss Louise Fay, Principal, is a day and boarding school which acts as a home school for young people from the lowest grades through preparation for college.
MOUNT PROSPECT SCHOOL FOR BOYS
Nestling among the pines and attractive foliage of the Piety Corner district is the Mount Prospect School for Boys, a private school which had its inception in the mind of the late Arthur Carey. The first class started studies in 1922. It has a very limited enrollment thus providing for individual instruction. Studies are so offered that they prepare for entrance to college. It is a most unusual schoolhouse, an attractive colonial type of building and is endowed so that the students may be in an environment of home influence under most competent direction.
NOTRE DAME TRAINING SCHOOL
One of the very attractive educational institutions of Waltham is the estate of eleven acres forming the grounds of the Notre Dame Training School, also the Provincial House of the eastern diocese. The buildings of stucco are of plain but stately architecture, well set off by most attractive grounds. This institution is operated under the direction of the Sisters of Notre Dame Der Namur which organization started its work in the United States in 1840 and in this Commonwealth in 1849 and in Waltham in 1889.
WALTHAM TRAINING SCHOOL FOR NURSES
Waltham's most unique educational institution is the Waltham Training School for Nurses which for many years enjoyed the title of being the only school in the country to give this particular type of training. It was established in 1885. A distinguished graduate, Miss Charlotte McLeod is credited with the assistance of Dr. Alfred Worcester with organ- izing the Victorian Order of Visiting Nurses in Canada.
MIDDLESEX COLLEGE
Middlesex College, chartered in 1850, moved to Waltham in 1928 and erected a group of Norman Gothic buildings on its 96-acre campus that are a triumph of architectural originality. With its large medical school and its rapidly growing academic department, the college is engaged in a program of continuous building and expansion. It has a student body of 350 and a faculty of fifty teachers and physicians, many of whom have come to make their homes in Waltham.

THE WALTHAM CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Is Waltham's largest and outstanding civic and commercial organization. Its mem- bership embraces the outstanding civic leaders of the Community. Incorporated in 1917, it has been a dominant factor in the remarkable growth of this city, thus giving a prestige to those enrolled in its membership.
RECREATION
With parks, playgrounds and other facilities for outdoor recreation, Waltham is bountifully supplied. In the very heart of the city there is an unusually fine Common of 7.2 acres on which is located a stately as well as attractive City Hall. Prospect Hill Park is a natural beauty spot of 218.91 acres, such as can seldom be found within walking dis- tance of a busy city. It is the highest elevation within the city limits and a vista of over 40 miles is obtained from its vantage points. It is provided with good roads, enticing path- ways and camping sites. The Cornelia Warren Park, lying between Waltham and Waverley contains 67.78 acres. The State Girl Scout headquarters are housed in the spacious mansion on Cedar Hill, left for the purpose by Miss Cornelia Warren. The grounds embrace acres with many interesting features and with an area for camp sites, on which Scout Troops from various cities of the Commonwealth locate their camp houses. There is also the High School Athletic Field of 10.5 acres and ten active playgrounds of 45.4 acres competently supervised with an efficient corps of instructors. The Charles River, with its facilities for boating and canoeing in the summer, and ice sports in the winter, has long been famed as a pleasure stream in New England.
MOTOR ROUTES
For the motor enthusiast, Waltham is an ideal center. Many main thoroughfares converge at Waltham Common, giving a choice of routes to the Berkshire Hills, Cape Cod, or the White Mountains. U. S. Route 20 passes through Waltham to Boston, 9 miles east.
LABOR SUPPLY
Waltham has an excellent supply of both skilled and unskilled labor. Much of this population is native New England stock with a permanent residence in the city. Fire hazard and insurance rates are low, land values and rents are reasonable.
INDUSTRIAL SITES
Along both lines of railroad there are many acres of land available for manufactur- ing plants, some so located that only a few hundred feet of spur tracks are needed. The city itself owns a large tract of land at Roberts Station, which has been specially set aside for manufacturing purposes. This land is offered at much less than the assessed valuation to industries planning to build within a short time of purchase.
ADVANTAGES OF WALTHAM
Good government, splendid roads, fine schools, congenial social conditions, a high standard of citizenship, convenience to shipping points, nearness to a market, excellent transportation facilities, sanitation above the average, abundant recreational and amuse- ment facilties, the advantages of homes in the open spaces combined with urban con- veniences-these are the qualities that go to make a city desirable-and Waltham has them all.
The Waltham Chamber of Commerce composed of the business and civic leaders of the city, welcomes inquiries and will be glad to make a complete and intelligent survey of the situation for any prospective industry or business.
Waltham will continue to register a very definite increase in population, develop- ment of its Retail Shopping District and during the next five years will make a decided gain in the number of new residences. With a very favorable cost of living figure and a proximity to Boston, the Waltham district is proving very attractive to many industrial and business houses in addition to home seekers. New construction in 1936 has started well. New houses are being erected to take care of those seeking residence here.
