These cases are visited, and instructions given, care and quarantine, in certain cases, houses are carded. School cards are given to children to return to school on recovery from the disease. Well Baby Conferences for children from birth to school age are held every Wednesday 2-4 P.M. in Town Building. Babies are weighed and advice given as to care, if baby is sick parents are advised to see their family physician. Our milk supply on the whole is good, in most cases above the State requirements. 35 dairy barns, herds and milk houses were scored, most found in excellent condition, some under process of renovation. Diphtheria immunizing clinics were held in the fall. We had splendid co-operation from parents and teachers TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 10~ £or which we are very grateful, 140 children were given the preventive treatments, of these 85 were pre-school chiIdren. Tuberculosis care and prevention is a very important part of our work and has been carried on as usual. Mr. Herbert McQuesten was elected to fill the vacancy on the board, caused by the death of Mr. Frank Frisbee. LUCIA P. KATHAN, R; N., Clerk. It is with the greatest regret that we are forced go write "Finis" to the work of one of our members. As a man of foresight, with an unbounded capacity £or public service, Frank W. Frisbee stood apart. Born in North Andover, he served his native town in many ways. He became a member of the Board of Health in 1914, and had served as chairman since 1915, and to his bright mind and superb initiative much of the advance in health work was due. The Town of North Andover has lost one of its most public spirited citizens in his untimely death. DR. E. W. A. HOLT, GEORGE BRIGHTMAN, HERBERT McQUESTEN, Board of Health.

Circulation and Use of Books 58.485 books were issued during 1934. This is 412 more than the circulation for 1933. Of these, 17,466 were non- fiction and 41,019 fiction, making 29% non-fiction and 71% fiction. The per capita circulation was 8.4. 3,680 books were circulated from the public schools to which we sent 939 books. In 1933 the gain in circulation was because of the number of books circulated in the schools; but this year it is in the books borrowed direct from the library. We had a loss in circulation from January through May; a gain from June through November; and in December the number of books circulated was exactly the same number issued in December 1933. November was the busiest month in the year, when 6,085 books were borrowed. On December 3, 401 books were issued; this is the busiest day in the history of the library. 14,810 volumes were circulated from the Children's Room. This is 698 less than in 1933. 939 were sent to schools. This is 50 less than in 1933. The circulation from the schools was 3,680. This represents a loss of 196 from 1933. The most popular adult books of non-fiction were biog- raphy, useful arts, and travel, in the order named. In the Children's Room, the books of non-fiction most widely read were fairy tales, useful arts, and lravel. 116 ANNUAL REPORT Registration of Borrowers 375 borrowers were registered, eight less than in 1933. Of these 202 were over 12 years of age; 111 were under twelve, and 62 were transferred from the Children's Room to the Adult department. 153 names of people who had died, moved away from town, or had not used the library for three years or more were dropped from the borrowers' list. This is a net gain of 222, and added to the registra- tion of 3,051 at the end of 1933, makes a total registration of 3,273. Book Collection 679 books were added to the shelves during the year. Of these, 156 were children's books. 96 were withdrawn. These were worn out, mutilated, or lost. This is a net gain of 583. Many others should be discarded as they are badly soiled and have been mended and mended again, until they hardly hold together; but they are old favorites, and funds do not permit their replacement. 2,458 have been repaired in the library. The children's books wear out faster than the adult books although our funds for their purchase are more restricted. The problem is becoming more acute all the time; the question being whether we should buy new titles with what little money we have, or replace the old favorites. Children who are rapid readers have long since read most of the books of the kind which they like. They are asking for new books. For the most part we have tried to replace as many of the standard children's books as pos- sible, but it is rather a hopeless task and has resulted in a decrease in the number of books read by the boys and girls, since we get so few new titles. This is the explanation in the loss all along the line in the circulation of children's books, both in the library and in the schools where we send collections. Of the books added, 94 were gifts. We are grateful to all those who have given us books and we shall welcome any gifts which may be made in 1935. In addition to the regular State publications which we receive, we have also had gifts of books or magazines from the following peoo 'r0WN OF NORTH AND0VER, MASS. 11,7 pie: Mr. Charles A. Appleton and Miss Marion Appleton:; ,Joseph Battles; Rev. and Mrs. S. C. Beane; The Brooks School; Alvah Eldredge; Harvey Firestone; Ford Motor Company; Arthur' Gfle; Elfstrom Johnson; National Press; Charles Paine; Mrs. S. F, Rockwell; Rosicrucian Order; Howard Sanborn; Miss A. L. Sargent; Miss Elizabeth Saun- · lers; Ivar Sjostrom; Deborah and Stuart Stillings; and Elizabeth Thelberg. Lessons on the Use of the Library Lessons on the use of the library, including the care of books, the arrangement of books on the shelves, the .system of classification and the use of the card catalog, were given to the boys and girls of the eighth grade in the ]~ublie schools of town. E,ach class visited the library, listened to a talk on these subjects, and were shown over the library spending some time at the card catalog. Prob- lems were assigned to each pupil. These were handed in to the Librarian, corrected by the Librarian, and returned to each boy and girl. Those who failed to obtain a mark of 70 were given a chance to do some other problems and the two marks were averaged together to make a final grade. Almost every one who did poorly on the first prob- lems took advantage of the chance to do some more prob- lems and get a better mark. Three children who were sick when the boys and girls of their own classes came to the library asked to come later with another group so that they would not lose the lesson. The teachers in the various schools realize the value of these lessons and have cooper- ated to the fullest extent. Book Week The Hobby-Horse Book Show, sponsored by the Li- brary during Book Week. was a great success. Letters were written to the Principals of the Center, Bradstreet, Mer- rimack, and Thomson schools, asking that the children of the four upper grades be invited to bring to the library, during that week, articles which each child had made or collected in pm'suit of his favorite hobby. These were dis- ANNUAL REF01~T' played in Library Hail together wit]a the books owned bM the Library concerning hobbies of all kinds. Contribu-. tions came in a bit slowly at first, but increased by leaps~ and bounds so that, by the end of the week, it was rather hard to find a place for everything. A glass show-case was. lent by the Davis and Furber Machine Company, through the courtesy of Mr. S. F. Rockwell. This, and five bor- rowed card-tables, were literally crowded with the articles. ¢ontribttted by the boys and girls. The walls were cov- ered with drawings; some originals and some copies. the articles displayed, those attracting most attention were a cardboard Pinocchio and an engine, mare by a sixth grade boy of the Bradstreet school. But there were all. ,types of things appealing to all tastes and there was no doubt whatever about their appeal. No record was kept of' attendance on Tuesday and Wednesday, but it was esti- mated that about 125 visited the display on each of these days, and on Thursday the registration was 175, on Friday 160, and on Saturday it was 89. Some boys and gifts came every day, each day bringing some more chiIdren with them. Results of the Book Week celebration were shown in many ways. 70 borrowers registered during the month. There was almost a raid on all our hobby books. Even: now we have requests for the printed lists of books on hobbies which we distributed during the week. This list was made available through F. E. Compton Company, pub- lishers of Compton's Encyclopedia, and was compiled by Anne Carroll Moore, head of the Children's Department of the New York Public Library. We had checked it to show what books were available at our ~own library. Other Activities in the Library A list of recent books in the library suitabIe for re- quired reading among the English pupils in Johnson High School, was made up. Librarian gave a talk on the life. of James Weldon Johnson, the celebrated negro author and teacher, and gave a review of his autobiography, ALONG THIS WAY, before the Young People's Religious Union of the Unitarian q?OWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. Church, and again before the Woman's Union of the Trini- '~tarian Church. In accordance with a request from the Planning Board ,of the Massachusetts Library Club, numerous articles about the Library have been written for the Lawrence Tribune :and the Lawrence Telegram. An interesting article about the history of the Library was written by Miss Sargent in October. This was followed up with articles about what the library has been doing, written by Miss Batchelder. Excerpts from the October and November reports of the library have been printed in both newspapers. We have continued to borrow collections in Lithuanian -from the Division of Public Libraries. These are loaned for three months at a time. The last collection has proved so popular that it has been kept for an additional month. We also secured a collection in Spanish for some pupils who wished to perfect their knowledge of that language. Exhibits of various kinds have been displayed in the Library. An interesting one was the Making of a Book, 'showing the different steps in the process, which was sent us by Houghton, Mifflin Company. This was retained per- manently and may be borrowed by interested groups or by :the schools. Library Meetings The Librarian and Miss Buchan attended the mid-win- ier meeting of the Massachusetts Library Club in Boston in January. In May, the same dub held its spring meeting in Andover. We were asked to hold open-house during those two days for library visitors. Sight-seeing trips, planned by the Hospitality Committee, included a 15 min- ute stop at our Library. Mrs. Tyler, Miss Sargent, and the Librarian, were at the Library to greet those who came and to show them about. Mrs. Tyler sent us some beautiful flowers which were much admired by the visitors, as well as by our regular borrowers. Between 50 and 60 visited the library during those two days. Miss Buchan and Miss Batchelder attended most of the sessions held in Andover, going back and forth from one place to the other. ANNUAL REP'Og~[~ Miss Batchelder attended the Montreal session of the American Library Association convention in, June. She~ also attended the day meeting of the Massachusetts brary Club's fall meeting in Concord. This was a year fulI. el' meetings it seems'. Change in Assistants Several changes in library personnel trove been made this year. In September, both Ruth Buchan and Eleanor Fitzgerald, girls who had been with us between four and five years, left the Lfbrary. Miss Buchan went to the Springfield Public Library to take a course in library train- ing. She was one of ten who passed a competitive exami- nation in June, to take a nine months course in the Spring- field Library. Reports front SpringfieId tell us that she is doing welI. Miss Fitzgerald left to take up other work. We miss them both very much. In July, ElIen Riley, a' 1994 graduate of Johnson High School, came to us, and is working about 20 hours a weel~. Miss Winifred Fitzgerald, a former assistant, who has just been graduated from Framingham Teachers' College and has as yet found no regular position, has substituted a good deal this fall. Cooperation of Other Libraries Many neighboring libraries have helped us to ~ll re- quests for non-fiction. Books have been lent to us from Memor/al Hall Library in Axidover; Boston Public Library; Haverhill Public Library; Lowell Public Library; Lynn Public Library; Maine State Library; Mass. Division of Public Libraries; Mass. Horticultural Society Library; Mass. Institute of Technology Library; Mass. State Li- brary; Newton Free Library; Somerville Public Library; Watertown Library. We have lent books to Memorial Hall Library, Andover, and to the South Lawrence Branch Li- brary. The Lawrence Public' Library has supplied some books to our readers direct. We are very grateful to all the libraries which have made it possible for us to meet the requests for books which we did not own and did not feel able to buy.

TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 131 Regulations The following regulations, until further notice, shalI be considered a part of the contract with every person who uses water. 1. All applications for the use of water must be made at the office of the Board of Public Works and must state fully the purpose for which it is intended to be used. The Water Department will in all cases furnish and lay the service pipe from the street main to and through the cellar wall and provide on the end thereof a stop and waste valve. In any case where an owner shows sufficient reason he may be permitted to lay a pipe on his own property, but pro- vision must be made, at the owner's expense, so that a meter installation can be made where the Water Depart- ment work ceases. The owner of the premises shall in all cases pay for such service pipe as may be laid within his premises, together with the stop and waste valve, at such rates as may be fixed by the Board of Public Works. The Board of Public Works reserves the right to establish a minimum price for service installations. Payment in full must be made for any service installation before the water is turned on. 2. The Water Department will set meters on all serv- ices and charge a rental of two dollars per year for ye-inch meters and a suitable increase for larger sizes, Consumers at their option may purchase said meters when they will be marked on the books as private and no rental will be charged. All meters will be kept in repair by the Water Department at the expense of the owner. No more than one meter may be installed on any service unless the owner agrees to have each additional meter (for the purpose of billing) considered as a separate service. 3. All persons using water must furnish internal -pipes, connections and fixtures and keep them and all pipe to the street line in good repair and protected from frost at their own expense, and the Town will not be liable for any damage resulting from failure to do so. Any expense 132 ANNUAL REPORT incurred in clearing services must be borne by ~he con- sumer. No person will be permitted to connect with any water pipes on the inlet side of the meter in any way or manner without a written permit from the Board of public Works. 4. Water rates shall be payable at the office of the Board of Public Works quarterly. No abatement of water rates shall be made except when the entire premises are shut off for a period o£ at least three months. In all cases of non-payment of water rates within sixty days after the same are due as well as for any violation of these rules, the supply may be shut off and water will not again be let on except upon payment of the amount due and the sum of one dollar for shutting off and letting on the water. In case of shutting off or letting on the water for repairs, testing of pipes or any other purpose the sum of one dollar wil! be charged. 5. The water rates shall be paid by the owner or les- see of the whole premises and the owner shall in all cases be responsible for the water rates of his tenants. 6. No water taker shall supply water to parties not entitled to its use, except on written permit from the Board of Public Works. 7. All apparatus and places supplied with water must be accessible at all reasonable times to the inspection of the Board of Public Works or their agents to examine the pipes and fixtures and ascertain the quantity of water used and the manner of its use, and all pipes and fixtures shall be subject to rejection by said Board of Public Works if considered unsuitable for the purpose. $. Upon application of an owner a meter wilI be re- moved and tested. For this service a charge of one dollar will be made. In case the meter in question is found to over-register more than three per cent this charge will be cancelled and a proper adjustment made. 9. The Board of Public Works reserves the right to restrict the use of hose or fountains or to shut off the water TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 133 when it becomes n~cessary to make extensions or repairs or for violation of any of the Regulations. 10.

Sixteen six-inch gate valves and three new hydrants were installed. The water system now comprises fifty-two and thirty-three hundredths miles of main pipe, and two twelve-inch cheek valves, one four- teen-inch gate, nine twelve-inch gates, twelve ten-inch gates, fifty-nine eight-inch gates, and four hundred and one six-inch gates and three hundred and nine public hydrants. The new water main extensions were as follows: Chest- nut Street from Hillside Road to Rea Street, thirty-five hundred and eighty-three feet of six-inch pipe, four six- inch gates and one hydrant; Perley Road easterly from the previous terminus to High Street three hundred and twenty feet of six-inch pipe, two six-inch gates and one hydrant; Columbia Road southeasterly from the previous terminus to Perley Road two hundred and eighteen feet of six-inch pipe and two six-inch gates; Troy Road 'westerly from the previous terminus to Thorndike Road three hun- dred and seventeen feet of six-inch pipe and one six-inch gate; Buckingham Road northerly from the previous ter- minus to Middlesex Street one hundred and sixty-eight feet of six-inch pipe and one six-inch gate; Wiley Court no~*theasterly from the previous terminus to Water Street, three hundred and ninety-one feet of six-inch pipe and one si~-inch gate; Herrick Road northeasterly from the pre- vious terminus to Buckingham Road, five hundred feet of eight-inch pipe. The above five connections in the water main system were carried out as a P.W.A. Project. Wilson Road, twenty-eight feet of six-inch pipe. Six-inch gates were placed on hydrant branches on Columbia Road and on Ma>' Street. Forty-eight feet of six-inch pipe and one six-inch gate were used in relocating the hydrant at Massachusetts Ave- nue and Osgood Street. The hydrant on Turnpike Street at Dartmouth Street was gated and moved back six feet. The hydrant at Turnpike and Peters Streets and at Turnpike Street and Railroad Avenue were moved back five and eight feet resuectivelv. The above hydrants on Turnpike Street were relocated because of the widening of Turnpike Street by the Department of Public Works of the Commonwealth. 140 ANNUAL REPOKT A new hydrant, thirteen feet of sixdnch pipe and one six- inch gate were placed on Turnpike Street near Brook Street. The system of main water piping is listed according to size as follows: SIZE OF PIPE (INCHES) 14" 12" 10" 8'~ LENGTH OF WATER MAINS (FEET) 423 17310 7871 41247 209442 There were installed during the year 1934 thirteen new services and eighty old services were either wholly or par- tially renewed. The renewals which were almost three times as many as any previous year were caused by the severe winter and the fact that .ever half the water services have been installed more than twenty-five years. Due to the widening of Turnpike Street from Wilson's Corner to the Shawsheen Bridge all the services were re- newed from the main to the curb and the curbs moved :back where the new construction made it necessary. There were eighty-three service leaks, many of which were caused by the unusually severe vCinter. There were seven joint leaks and .one hydrant broken by an automobile. Seven more services which were no longer in use and had been shut off only at the curb stop were shut off at the main so that all danger of leaks from them is definitely removed. A total of eighty-seven services have been thus shut off at the cor- poration in the last few years. The policy of the meter inspection was continued as in former years. Ninety-eight meters frozen and broken during the extremely cold winter were repaired or replaced by new meters. The inspection of hydrants started in 1931 was con- tinued. Gate valve inspection started in 1932 was carried out also. This work was facilitated by the use of small five by eight inch bound blue-printed gate location sheets which were prepared early in the year. A survey of the distribution system to discovei' any leaks was started. As a part of the survey on July twenty- fourth an all-night test of the reservoir was made for leak- age by supplying the system direct from the Pumping Sta- tion and shutting off all gates from the Reservoir. The test was repeated on the night of October twenty-~ourth. The test showed that there was leakage of water but not a quan- tity sufficient to warrant the expense of elimination since the water is apparently doing no damage nor disintegrat- ing the reservoir. A 3"x2"x3" Worthington boiler feed pump, installed in 1906 was replaced by a 41/.2"x2a/~"x4" boiler feed pump of 'TOWN OF NORTYI ANDOYER, MASS. ~the same type. The necessity of keeping all equipment at ;the Pumping Station in first class condition as well as re- ,placing obsolete nnits was emphasized during the year by the record demand for water during July and August. Eighty-six hoars were registered for use on Lake Cochiche- wick and one hundred and seventy-six residents were given permits to boat and fish there. In the following out a definite construction program in ~order that the system may be strengthened and improved ',so as to meet any anticipated requirements in the future it is recommended: 1. A new 12-inch main feeder line be laid from the ~'eservoir to the downtown section via Chestnut Street, Hill- wide Road, Turnpike Street and Railroad Avenue. 2. The capacity of the reservoir be increased 500,000 gallons or a new duplicate reservoir be constructed; 3. The original wooden coal bin at the Pumping Sta- tion be replaced with a larger bin of permanent construc- tion. For 1935 it is recommended that the following minor extensions and improvements be made to the system: 1. Replace the following temporary supply pipes with six-inch cast iron pipes in order to provide better domestic supply and provide fire protection: a) Wood Lane from Andover Street, b) Prospect Street from Chadwick Street, c) Bacon Avenue from Massachusetts Avenue, d) Highland View Avenue from Chadwick Street, e) Stevens Street fro.m Harkaway Road. 2. .Connect the six-inch mains: a) Middlesex Street from Milton Street to Lyman Street, b) Brightwood Avenue to Furber Avenue, c) Chapin Road to Middlesex Street, d) Saltonstall Road to Herrick Road, e) Wilson Road to Turnpike Street. 3. Raise, relocate and place gates on several hydrants throughout the town and especially on the heavily traveled ways :- Sutton, Main and Middlesex Streets. 4. Place new hydrants where the nearest present hy- drant entails the use of excessive lengths of fire hose: a) End of Tolland Road, b) Near 225 Massachusetts Avenue, c) Middlesex Street near Greene Street, d) Near 665 Salem Street, ANNUAL REPORT e) End of Beacon Hill Road, f) Pleasant Street at Lexington Street, g) Lincoln Street between Pleasant and Oxfi~rcr. Street, h) Near 471 Massachusetts Avenue, i) Near 375 Massachusetts Avenue, Near 62 Salem Street. The water main extension on Dufton Court voted by fhe Town Meeting under Article 25 was not installed be- cause no guarantee was made. Sewer Department The North Andover Sewerage System is designed t~ flow i'n three divisions: the East Side Drainage Area with its trunk sewer following Coehichewiek Brook from Lake: Cochichewqck to the Merrimack River; the West Side Drain- age Area with /ts trunk sewer on Railroad Avenue, Greene Street, and along the Shawsheen River to the Merrimack River; the Central Drainage Area bounded by the Railroad Avenue, Middlesex, and Water Street with the trunk sewers in Railroad Avenue, Water Street, and Main Street to the Merrimack River. There are sixteen and forty-nine hundredths miles of sewers in the North Andover Sewerage System with over three hundred and eighty manholes. There are nine hun- dred and ninety-four particular sewers connected with the main sewers. The main sewers are listed according to size as follows: Size of Sewers (Inches) 24 20 18 15 12 10 8 6 5926 822 7499 3211 3294 9070 14687 4254% The Sewer Department in conjunction with the Federal Civil Works Administration and the Emergency Relief Ad- ministration constructed during 1934 the following main sewel~s: Fourteen hundred and seventeen feet of fifteen-inch pipe and ten manholes on Osgood Street from Philips Court to Bay State Road; seven hundred and twenty-three feet of eight-inch pipe and three manholes on Bay State Road from Osgood Street to Chickering Road; eleven hundred and eighty-one feet of ten-inch pipe and six manholes on Park Street from Osgood Street to Main Street; two hun- dred and fifty feet of ten-inch pipe and one manhole on Main Street northeasterly from Park Street. Sewer assess- ments on the above sewers as provided by law were corn- TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 143 ,'mitted to the Town Treasurer for collection. A total of seven ~connections totaling five hundred and thirsty-nine feet were .made between buildings and the main sewers. Two old par- ticular sewers were relaid on account of trouble with roots. Thirty-five particular sewers were cleared. The entire sew- ,erage system was flushed during 3:iarch. It is recommended that an eight-inch sewer be con- .structed on Court Street to take care of the dwellings there ,and also on Main Street southeasterly from Park Street. Further extensions of the sewerage system on the 'West Side Drainage area must await the extension of the 'West Side Trunk Sewer from Massachusetts Avenue south- ,erly along the Shawsheen River. Few extensions in the Central Drainage Area remains to be made. Park Department The Center Common, Training Grounds. Memorial Park, Historical Society Plot and Triangles have been main- tained as usual. The program of improvement and replacement adopted in 1933 for Memorial Park was continued. New shrub beds replaced those at the Greene Street and Bradstreet Road corner and on Bradstreet Road and Parkway. All the elm trees were carefully shaped and as much ~omeatly needed surgical work was done on all the [rees in the Park by the Bartlett Tree Expert Company as funds permitted. A con- tinuation of the program started in 1933 for another year should result in Memorial Park being one of the most beau- tiful parks of its kind. The groves of trees on the Training Ground were again thinned out and trimmed and with the assistance of the North Andover Garden Club a start was made toward a more cultivated appearance for the entire area in keeping with the adjacent plot recently constructed and maintained by the Department of Public Works of the Commonwealth. The Board of Public Works cooperated with the lgorth Andover Improvement Society in enlarging the triangle at Main and Park Streets into a sizable beauty plot. The above work and the work of the Department of Public Works of the Commonwealth are making Chickering Road a truly beautiful highway. The cooperation and assistance of the North A~dover Improvement Society and ~he North Ahdover Garden Club have not only aided the Park Department.in conducting its ANNUAL REPORT work but due to tlkeir combined efforts the foundation for a system of parks and other beauty spots is being laid. Sufficlen~ funds should be provided to continue the Memorial Park program as well as maintain the improve- ments already secured. Public Works Administratiog Under the grant agreement signed with the Public, Works Administration the work 'begun in 1933 was com- pleted. The following connections were made: Chestnut Street from Hillside Road to Rea Street, three. thousand five hundred and eighty-three feet of six inch pipe, four six-inch gates and one hydrant; Perley Road easterly from the previous terminus to High Street three. hundred and twenty feet of six-inch pipe, two six-inch gates and one hydrant; Columbia Road southeasterly from the previous terminus to Perley Road two hundred and eighteen feet of six-inch pipe and two six-inch gates. Troy Road westerly from the previous terminus to Thorndike Road, three hundred and seventeen feet of six-inch pipe and one six-inch gate; Buckingham Road northerly from the pre- vious terminus to Middlesex Street, one hundred and sixty- eight feet of six-inch pipe and one six-inch gate; Wiley Court northeasterly from the previous terminus to Water Street three hundred and ninety-one feet of six-inch pipe and one six-inch gate; Herriek Road northeasterly from the previous terminus to Buckingham Road five hundred feet of eight-inch pipe. The total construction including the installation of four- teen hundred and ten feet of six-inch pipe, three six-inch gates and one hydrant on Marbleridge Road in 1933 com- prised: Six thousand four hundred and seven feet of six- inch and five hundred feet of eight-inch cast iron pipe, four- teen six-inch gates and three hydrants. The expenditures on the project for the year 1934 are included in this report. On May 24 a partial grant payment of $2,056.36 was received. The work was completed on July 10th with a final audit of all accounts by P.W.A. auditors completed on July 17th. The final grant payment of $2,243.64 was made on December 12th. The above grant payments by provisions of the grant agreement are to be nsed solely to take care of bond and interest payments. The above improvements to the distribution system were successfully constructed and ineorperated into the water system with the active coopera- tion of the officials of the P.W.A. and especially of the Resi- dent Engineer Inspector, Mr. Henry V. Maeksey. TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 145 Civil Works Administration Emergency Relief Administration Under the provisions of the Civil Works Administra- tion and later the Emergency Relief Administration of the National Industrial Recovery Act the following projects were approved and carried out by the Board of Public Works: Osgood Street Sewer--including the work done in 1933 a total of two thousand and nineW-seven feet of fifteen-inch sewer and twelve manholes were constructed from the East Side Trunk Sewer at Cochichewick Brook to Bay State Road. The Federal Government paid $12,036.32 for labor, mate- rials and equipment .on the project and the Town paid $~,292.06; Sewerage from Johnson High School is now tak- en care of by this sewer. Bay State Road Sewer--seven hundred and twenty- three feet of eight-inch pipe and three manholes were con- structed from Osgood Street to Chickering Road. A cut of fifteen feet and considerable wafer made the project a diffi- cult one. The Federal Government paid $4,807.25 for labor and the Town paid $1,352.15 for labor, materials and equip- ment. Park Street Sewer--eleven hundred and eighty-one feet of ten-inch pipe and six manholes were constructed from Os;~ood Street to Main Street. The Federal Govern- ment paid $2,653.00 for labor and the Town $748.19 for labor, materials and equipment. Main Street Sewer two hundred and fifty feet of ten- inch pipe and one manhole ;vas constructed from Park Street northwesterly. The frost and ~round water has de- layed the progress of this project. The Govermnent paid $1,190.00 for labor and the Town $640.68 for labor, mate- rials and equipment. The above four thousand two hundred and fifty feet of main sewer not only directly benefited the property owners on the above street but also the town generally by provi~ling much needed sewerage facilities at two school buildings and opening u~ desirable building sites for the future growth of the town. The relief progq'am of the Federal Government has thus provided permanent assets of low maintenance cost for the town as well as work for the unemployed. The project for finding; and plotting existing grades on tbr~e miles of existin~ sanitary sexvers constructed prior to 1908 was started in 1933 and comoleted in 1934. The Fed- eral Government paid $546.00 for labor and the Towr $125.00 for materials and equipment. 146 ANNUAL REPORT The project for cleaning up the shores of Lake Cochi- chewick, the source of North Andover's water supply, was started and completed in 1934. Debris, weeds, sunken logs and overhanging trees were removed from the seven miles of shore. The Federal Government paid $1,008.00 and the Town $48.03. The project to revise and make new drawings of w~ter service locations was started in 1934 and has not been com- pleted. The Federal Government paid $163.20 and the Town $46.28. The project to clear, clean and paint the public fire hy- drants, approved in October, and started in December has not been completed. The Federal Government spent $68.40 and the Town $15.59. All the above expenditures are for the year 1934 ex- cept the Osgood Street Sewer which also includes November and December of 1933. Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM B.

Pupils Score Well in Standard Tests In May and June the pupils in Grades I to VIII were given Form A of the Metropolitan Achievement Tests, which is a group of tests measuring abilities in reading, arithme- tic, literature, history and civics, geography and spelling in IV to VIII and fewer subjects in the lower grades. 73% of the pupils scored as high or higher than the standard averages for their ages, and 63% scored as high or higher than the standard averages for their respective ages. Nor- mally 50% are expected to score as high or higher than the standard average. Each Eiighth Grade Excels Predecessors With one exception (1930) the eighth grades from 1927 to 1934 have each scored a higher average in achievement tests than has the preceding one.

North Andover is better than average in these four: 1.--An unusually small proportion of local taxes goes to school costs. 2.--The town debt is small. 3.--The town is well-to-do, having a valuation of $6;197 per person. 4.--The total appropriation for school support is below average. North Andover's position is poorer than average in these two: 1.--The local tax rate is high. 2.--The per pupil cost is higher than the average of this group of towns, but about 12% lower than the average in the whole state. Johnson High Costs 21% Below State Average For the year 1933-34 the per pupil costs in the four year high schools of the towns in the above group and in the TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 16b ,~State compare as follows with the cost at Johnson High ,School: Johnson --$77.33 Toxvns Our Size $95.40 Stare ...... $98.84 T.~ yer pupil costs of Johnson High School were 18 % ;below :he average in the group of ~owns and 21 ~ below the ,average i~ the State_ ,Johnson Increases 48 cA in Nine Years Below are given the enrollment totals of Johnson High ;School which show a 48% increase in nine years and a 412 % increase in ~wenty-one years. 1913 -80 pupils 1925 .277 pupils 1934 ~10 pupils There axe desks for 282 pupils. Big Increase in Teacher Load at Johnson In 1913 there were the equivalent of 5~z teachers at Johnson, in 1925 there were 121~, and in 1934 there were 131/2. Dividing each enrollment by the number of teachers gives the following results in pupils ret teacher. 1913 -15 pupils 1925 22 pupils 1934 30 pupils Besides this increase in pupil load for the teachers, their school day has been lengthened about 10%. 2171 Adult Visitors at Evening Sessions During Education Week in November 1171 adults visited the evening sessions of the elementary schools. In March 1000 adults visited the classrooms during two suc- cessive evenings to see the pupils' work on exhibition there. It is fine that so many parents and citizens are taking that kind of interest in our schools. 111 Reels of Educational Moving Pictures Used Beginning in the spring of 1934 educational moving pictures have been used in the classrooms to supplement ~6'6 ANN'UAL REPORT the regular instruction. Various investigators after' careful~ experiments have been unanimous in reporting that the proper use of educational movies result in substantially' better results in instruction. 45 Pupils Receiving Instrumental Music Instruction Through arrangement with the Boston School Music Bureau 45 pupils are receiving instruction on such musical · instruments as guitar, mandolin, banjo, violin, trumpet,~ clarinet, saxophone, large horns, drums, etc. The instruc- tion is given in tho school buildings for which the pupils pay 25c a lesson for instruction and 5c a lesson for the music.. No part of the cost is borne by the town. This plan is in use by many other Massachusetts towns,. and it should result in larger school orchestras and bands. And, most important, it will add to the culture of each of' those pupils and provide each with a fine way in which to use a portion of his leisure hours. 0nly 26% of High School Pupils in Athletics During the last year 38 girls participated in basketball,. and 7(} boys engaged in one or more of these, basketball, football or baseball. These make a total of 108 pupils or about 26% of the enrollment. No physical education pro- gram is being provided for the other 74%, and the health of that 74% is probably in~erior to that of the other 26%. Progressive schools provide, and modern educationaI theory recommends, a physical education program for the 74 % not engaging in athletics. To furnish such a program at Johnson would require the equivalent of at least one fulI time teacher in addition to the present staff. Our Teachers Keeping Up-to-Date 70% Take Professional Courses 0nly by real effort can a physician keep abreast of progress in the medical field or the lawyer keep reasonably well informed concerning new laws and fresh court decisions. in the field of education it is equally difficult for the teacher to keep up with developments in his profession.

Sargent retired from the 'teaching staff after having served 26 years though at first .a class room teacher here most of her years of service were instructor in sewing. She was always very faithful in her work and much liked and appreciated by all her classes, Miss Clara Curley of Dudley Street succeeds her. In February 1934 Miss Flora L. Richmond of Danvers retired because of family illness after approximately 25 years of fine service as half-time Music Supervisor. She had devotedly worked to make our boys and girls fond of sing- ing and appreciative of good music. Miss May Leach of High Street succeeded her in May. During the prolonged absence of Miss Leach while recovering from a severe auto- mobile accident of September 14th Mr. Richard Sutcliffe of Railroad Ave. is serving as substitute. Survey of Future Town and School Growth As an Emergency Recovery Administration project a careful study has been made of the probable future growth of the town and the effects upon educational needs. The recommendations or conclusions implied are suggestive but have no official standing. Your attention is invited to the summary of this project which follows on page --. ~93 ~N'NIfAL REPORT In Conclusion I am pleased again to testify to the pleasing' coopera- tion I have received from the other employees of the De-- partment and to express my appreciation of the sympathetic and intelligent guidance of the School. Committee. Respectfully submitted,. FRED E. PITKIN, Supt. of Schools.- REPORT OF JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL To the Superintendent of Schools: I submit at this time, my third annuaI repor~ for John- son High School. In my last report,.I called attention to the.fact that our enrollment was increasing at a rapid rate, in common with the increase noted in secondary schools throughout the na- tion, during the past few years. Once more I am forced to comment on this increase. During the year ending in June 1934, our maximum enrollment for any single month wa~ 376 pupils. The increase this year was larger than antici- pated, my register recording the names of 418 students dur- ing the month of September. This number, I might men- tion, is being accommodated by 280 pupils desks suitable for containing books and equipment. Last year, at this time, I predicted our student body would number 425 by Septem- ber 19g5. I now believe this estimate to be too small. Last June we graduated 72 pupils, which constituted the largest graduation class in the history of our school. This coming June our graduates will probably number un- der 50, whereas approximately 115 pupils will be completing the eighth grade of our school system, the majority of whom will enter this school in September. TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 169 I submit .below our enrollment by classes for the month of September 1934: Post-Graduates 19 Seniors 55 Juniors 102 Sophomores 116 Freshmen 121 Total 413 Of our last graduating class, a Smaller number than usual enrolled in colleges. This was to be expected, in view of the economic situation. However, Radcliffe, M. I. T., State Teachers Colleges, 5~ount Holyoke, Villanova and Massachusetts State College each have one member of our last class enrolled. Several others have continued their edu- cation at Commercial Schools, Trade Schools and Hospitals. I might point out at this time that our school continues to maintain its excellent rating among secondary schools of Massachusetts as is evinced by the £act that none of th.~ colleges and schools mentioned above required the formal entrance examinations o£ our pupils. At present no less than seven Johnson graduates are receiving college scholar- ships awarded for scholastic excellence. The curriculum reorganization, whi~ch has been in progress during the past three years, was completed in September. The study of American History is now definite- ly placed in the third year, a course in Advanced Food and Clothing study has been added for senior girls and a course termed Senior Social Science has been added to the fourth year to supplement the work in Social Science o£ the second year. This course includes elements of Economics, Interna- tional Relations and Sociology. Our reorganization has been effected in order that pupils may obtain a broader concep- tion of their problems and the problems of others, which must be faced by all, as responsible members of a commu- nity. As in other years, we have been fortunate in having few changes in our faculty. After many years of faithful 170 ANNUAL REPORT service in our school system Miss Helen C. Sargent retired in June. To fill this vacancy Miss Clara Curley, a graduate of Framingham State Teachers' College was elected. A re- organization of the Domestic Science department was ef- fected whereby Miss Curley devotes her entire time to the High School, combining classes in her program which have in the past received instruction in sewing from Miss Helen Sargent and in cooking from Miss Katherine Currier. Miss Currier now devotes her entire time to the grade schools. Miss Flora Richmond, whose valued service in music instruc- tion had long been recognized in our schools, was forced by ill-health to retire last year. Miss May Leach, of this town, who had previous experience in the Berlin, N. H. school system, was elected to fill this vacancy. Miss Leach was having splendid success when an unfortunate accident forced her to relinquish her duties for a period. We sincere- ly wish Miss Leach a speedy recovery.. At present, Mr. Rich- ard Sutcliffe is conducting the music courses of the schools. Our athletic program has once more been capably handled by Mr. Walter Mitchell who is in charge of boys and Misses Dorothy Colburn and Glenna Kelly who super- vise the girls. Last year our Johnson Journal and our Senior Year Book weke supervised successfully by Miss Eileen McAloon who substituted for Miss Edith Pierce during a leave of absence. This year Miss Pierce is back with us, and is once more acting as adviser on publications. Our club program is being continued this year under the direction of Mildred Green, Alice Neal; Orele Scott, Irene Cook, Dorothy Colburn, Clara Chapman and Clara Curley, of the faculty: Great interest in these programs is displayed by our pupils. The school library, which now numbers approximately 1000 volumes, is proving increasingly valuable to students. Recently these hooks have been indexed as a project of the E. R. A. Last spring the school conducted an exhibit of projects accomplished by pupils in conjunction with their class work. TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 171 The exhibit was to be conducted for one evening but because of numerous requests the next school session was suspended by the School Committee and the exhibit was on display for one additional day. During the afternoon and two eve- nings o£ the display about 2000 persons visited the school. Since my last report I am happy to state that ten teachers on our staff have taken courses designed to aid them in their profession. No school can be stronger than its instructing staff and I wish at this time to commend the teachers of my school for their ambition and ceaseless effort toward professional improvement. I wish also to thank them as well as the School Committee and you, Mr. Super- intendent, for the splendid spirit of helpfulness and coopera- tion which has been evident throughout a highly success- ful and pleasant year.

A 1950 population of 8000 would there- fore result in 128 births a year. High school enrollments will tend to be decreased by the falling birth rate, but increased by growing population, raising of the compulsory school age to 16 years in 1935, tendency of a greater proportion of youth to complete a high school course, and the growing numbers of post-grad- uates. Before 1950 organized courses for post-graduates are li.kely to be established along the line of junior college work. Very many places in the United States have already done this. 194 ANNUAL REPORT Enrollment by Grades ~resh. $oph. Jun. Sen. Births I II III IV V ¥I VII VIII IX X XI X]I Grad. Predictions: With a total of 128 births a year in 1950, the pupils repeating Grade I would probably make a first grade enrollment of about 132. If pupils are by statute re- quired to remain in school until they are 16, occasionally non-promotions will gradually increase enrollments ir~each successively higher grade until in Grade X when some of those 16 years of age will leave school. How will the Pupils of 1950 be Distributed about Town? After estimating the number of 1950 pupils, the fol- lowing data was assembled to help in predicting in what parts of the town they would reside and in what propor- tions. Below are given the enrollments by schools. Merrl- Brad- Thom- Frank- Johnson mack street son Union Center lin Rural Total · 1885 31 4~5 58 65 5I 830 From 1885 to 1900 enrollments increased chiefly in the area covered by the Merrimack and Bradstreet Districts. After tha~ the growth extended into the Union and Center Districts. Many New Residences Near Thomson and Franklin Schools From 1923 to 1933 there were 229 new residences erected that were connected with the town water system. The locations of these homes are shown on a spot map called "Residences erected in 10 years, 1923-33." Most of these homes were built in the areas near the Thomson and the Franklin Schools. 196 ANNUAL REPORT Present School Buildings Poorly Spaced Educators now generally recommend that elementary school buildings be spaced about I mile apart so that a half-mile is the greatest distance pupils would walk to school in the thickly settled portions. On this basis the Merrimack and Bradstreet Schools are entirely too close together. Since the area near the Franklin School is being rapidly built up, it is entirely possible that ~by 1960 the Merrimack School ought to be re-built on a site in that sec- tion of the town.

In 1933 the bonded debt was 1.4% of the total valuation of the town. The average for the 39 Massachusetts cities was about 3.2% and of ~he 85 Massachusetts towns with a population over 5000 it was about 2%. ~6,00( ¢¢~ ~ 000 ~2~00C $12~00( $8,00£ $4,ooc $~ TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. Suggestion: As the annual debt service after 1935 will be less than $10,000 for thc bonded indebtedness al- ready incurred, the town is in a good position in that re- spect to build the first of a series of needed school buildings, The annual debt service cost over $50,000 in 1926. Center of Population Now ! Mile from High School When Johnson High School was erected in 1867, it was built rather close to the center of the town's population and midway between two small villages, namely, the Center and ~achine Shop Village. As large building sites for schools were not then in vogue, the size of the High School site seemed adequate. The center of population now seems to be not far from the North Andover Postofiice, hence, has moved about 1 mile from the school. See the chart showing the residences of 381 high school pupils and the one showing 1009 elemen- tary pupils on which each dot represents a pupil. Over 80% of the pupils now have to cross through the heavy traffic of Chickering Road to reach the School. High School for 575 Pupils in 19507 In 1916 Johnson High School was remodelled to ac- commodate about 275 pupils. Now there are over 400 er- rolled, and an enrollment of over 500 is predicted by 1950. The Size of a High School Site Leading experts in planning school buildings recom- mend 12 acres as the prorer size for a high school site in order to provide space for future building additions, desir- able landscaping, space for baseball, football, outdoor bas- ket ball, volley ball, tennis, jumping pits, running tracks, field hockey, and general play spaces. The purpose of the large space is to give opportunity for all pupils, both boys and girls, to acquire the habit of enjoyably participating in active play during leisure hours in later life. Many of the high schools built recently have been on sites larger than 12 acres, though the average size of new high school sites seems to be about 4 acres. Predictions Tentative The predictions made in this sfudy should be amended as time and change make ivossi.ble and desirable. The sug- gestions made are also subject to change as time alters con- ditions, and they have not been officially adopted even in part. They may be a stimulus to long-range planning.
