TOWN OF NORTH ANDO.VER, MASS. 48 STEVENS MEMORIAL LIBRARY To the Citizens of North Andover: The Trustees take pleasure in presenting herewith the annual report of the Librarian, Miss Marion F. Batchelder. To the Trustees of Stevens Memorial Library: I herewith present the 33rd annual report of the Library for the year ending December 31 1940. Circulation and Use of Books 57,257 books were circulated. This is 748 less than the number issued in 1939. 32% of the books loaned were non- fiction. The _Der capita circulation was 7.6 based on unofficial 1940 census figures, which placed our town's population as 7,514. Circulation per registered borrower was 15.3. 38,995 volumes were lent from the Adult Department. This is 425 less than the number circulated in 1939. 13,995 were circulated from the Children's Room--377 fewer than in 1939. 1,054 books were sent to schools and the circulation of these books was 4,267, o.r 44 more than in 1939. Most popular books among adult borrowers were fiction, useful arts, biography, and travel in the. order named. There has been a marked increase in the number of books borro~ved on machine shop work. The children have liked best fiction, fairy tales, useful arts, and travel in the order named. The Library was open to the public 303 days with an average daily circulation of 189. Largest issue was 368 on March 25 and the. smallest was 71 on December 24, when the Library closed at 5.30 P. M. Registration of Borrowers The number of borrowers on December 31, 1939 was 3,567. During the year 285 names were added. This is 58 less than the number added in 1939. $1 were names of chil- dren and 204 were those of adults. 78 children were trans- ferred from the Children's Room to the Adult Department. 128 names were withdrawn, making a gain of 157 for the year and a total registration of 3,724. This is 49% of popu- lation served (unofficial 1940 census figure 7,514). Book Collection 727 volumes were added to the col],ection. This Js 106 more than the number added in 1989. Of the total, 105 were gifts. 44 ANNUAL RE?0~T 143 were marked discarded or lost. Of these, 16 were missing at the time of invento.ry. It is estimated that the Library now owns 20,782 volumes. 3,064 books were repaired in the Library. This is 557 more than were mended here in 1939. 226 were rebound by a professional binder. Among noteworthy additions to the book collection during 1940 are Compton's Pictured Encyclopedia, 15 vol- umes; Dictionary of American History, 5 volumes and index volume; Building, Estimating, and Contracting, 8 volumes; Granger's Index of Poetry and Recitations; College Blue Book; Drake's Cyclopedia of Radio; Chambers's Technical Dictionary; and Current Biography, a monthly publication. We are grateful to individuals and organizations who have given books and magazines in 1940. These include American Can Company, Mrs. Hollis R. Bailey, Nicholas Murray Butler, Irene E. Cook, Freder/ck Crosdale, Jr., Den- nison Manufacturing Company, Paul De Teresi, N. B. Flem- ing, John Fenton, Grinding Wheels Manufacturing Associa- tion, Mrs. J. P. Hainsworth, Mrs. Clarence Hutton, Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Jones, Junior Library Club, Mrs. Lillian K. Mason, the late Mrs. Annie Morss, and William Pollock. We are grateful to an anonymous giver for books, magazines and a table for displays in the Children's Room. Book Service at the Center One of the interesting developments of the year has been the beginning of book service, to residents o£ the Center. Last summer we sent books to the Center by Miss Dorothy Michelmore, wh owes employed by the Center Playground Association to supervise the children's play at the Play- ground. The books were distributed at the end of the morn- ing for the children to take home. After a week or so, books were also sent which were suitable for the mothers and older brothers and sisters of the playground children. An average of 30 books were distributed each day. In August, Miss Batchelder met with the members of the Playground Asso- ciation and it was suggested that weekly book service be given the Center. The North Parish Church Committee gave the Library permission to use the vestry of the church once a week, for. an hour in the evening. This was first done on September 6 and it has continued since every week with the exception of Hallowe'en and one other evening when book service had to be cancelled because of a snow storm. The average weekly circulation has been 61. This includes Decem- ber when, because of Christmas, the number of books bor- TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVEtL MASS. 45 rowed dropped sharply. We feel that this experiment has justified itself and trust that we can continue it as a per- manent feature,. Several families come each week who would not be able to, come to the Library easily because of lack of transportation. Other Community Activities Library Hall has served as a community meeting place, having been frequently used by committees of the North Andover Woman's Club and occasionally by other groups. We should like to emphasize once more that the North Ando,ver Garden Glub places its books here and that they are available to the public as well as to the Garden Club. This Library has been one of the distribution points for the programs of the Andover Evening Study Groups for Adults and for application blanks. At the request of the committee on Exhibits of the newly formed Parent-Teacher Association, we have dis- played books on the subjects taken up at the monthly meet- ings of the Association. We have also subscribed to the magazine National Parent Teacher. Because of the current interest in all forms of aeronaU- tics, and the Ground School which has been conducted in Lawrence, we have bought a number of new books on this subject and have subscribed to the. magazine Aero Digest. Lesson in the Use of the Library Once again we have had all pupils of the 8th grades in the public schools come to the Library for a talk on the arrange- ment of books on the shelves, the care. of books, the classifica- tion system used here and the use of the card catalog. After that each pupil was asked to do several practical problems which were passed in to the Librarian for correction. It would be helpful if we could start this instruction in the 7th grade so that a little more information could be given. We hope to do this in 1941. Work with Children Miss Dorothy Michelmore has worked 12 hours a week during the past year. In the early winter, she organized a Library Club for girls of the 7th and gth grades. The Club earned money which was given to the Library for the pur- chase of nine books and a year's subscription to the maga- zine Mademoiselle. Miss Michelmore also edited two numbers of a little library news bulletin which she distributed to the schools. She gave a book talk at the Bradstreet School. She has been story teller at five story hours held at various times throughout the year. 46 ANNUAL REPORT We had a summer reading club with 72 members during the vacation months. Through the co-operation of the New England News Company, we were able to offer books as prizes for the best reading done during that time. We feeI that we should give more and better book service, especially in the way of advice, in book selection. Staff Activities Miss Batchelder has given book talks at the Tuesday Sorosis of Lawrence, the Woman's Union of the Trinitarian Congregational Church, and at St. Paul's Episcopal Church Woman's Auxiliary. She has attended various library meetings held during the year :--that of the New England Library Association in East Northfield, Massachusetts, the. spring meeting of the New England School Library Association at Simmons Col- lege, the Round Table of the Children's Librarians at the Boston Public Library and the Worcester meeting of the Massachusetts Library Association. Miss Myra Stillwell took a six weeks' summer Library course at the Trenton State Teacher's College, Trenton, New Jersey. Four consecutive courses of this kind would give her a Grade B Library certificate in New Jersey. She also has taken courses at Boston University and is studying French at Johnson High School. Loss of Mrs. Nathaniel Stevens The Library suffered a great loss in January by the passing of Mrs. Nathan/el Stevens. Although she was not a member of the Board of Trustees, her untiring interest in the Library and her visits to us were always a great stimula- tion to us all. Co-operation of Other Libraries We have been able to fill many requests for books not in our own collection by means of inteelibrary loans from the following libraries: Memorial HalI Library, Andover; ]]oston Public Library, Brookline Public Library, Harvard College Library, Haverhill Public Library, Lawre.nce Public Library, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Library, Massachusetts State Library, Newton Free Library and Division of Public L~raries in Boston. We are very grateful to them all. Respectfully submitted, MARION F. BATCIzIELDER, Librariam TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 47 Appended are the following: 1.

TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 65 Regulations The following regulations, until further notice, shall 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 ail serv- ices and charge a rental of two dollars per year for %-inch meters and a suitable increase for larger sizes. Consumers at their option may purchase said meters when they will be marked on the hooks as private and no rental will be charged. All meters will be kept in repair by the Water Department unless damaged by the frost, hot water, or through the fault or negligence of the owner or tenant of the property. 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 fa/lure to do so. Any expense 66 ANNUAL REPOI{T incurred in clearing services must be borne by the 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 of 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 will 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 cas~ 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 ail pipes and fixtures shall be subject to rejection by said Board of Public Works if considered unsuitable for the purpose. 8. Upon application of an owner a meter will 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 ANDO'VER, MASS. 67 when it becomes necessary to make extensions or repairs or for violation of any of the Regulations. 10. Art. 7, Sec. 1, Town By-Laws: No person shalI open any hydrant of the water works system of the Town, without written permissien previously obtained from the Board of Public Works. Provided, however, that nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit the use of hy- drants and water by the Chief of the Fire Department or the person acting in his stead, in ease of fire.

Fourteen six-inch gate valves and two twelve-inch gate valves were placed. The water main system now consists of fifty-five and seventy-seven hundredths miles of main pipe, two twelve- inch check valves, one fourteen-inch gate, twelve twelve-i~ch gates, thirteen ten-inch gates, sixty-three eight-inch gates and five hundred six-inch gate valves, and three hundred and thirty-one public fire hydrants. The new water main extensions were as follows: Dana Street, from Railroad Avenue to Marblehead Street, four hundred and fifty-eight feet of six-inch pipe, two six-inch gate valves and one hydrant; William and Marblehead Street from Railroad Avenue to Massachusetts Avenue, six- hundred and thirty-four feet of six-inch pipe, three six-inch gate valves and one. hydrant; Lyman Road from the pre- vious terminus towards Silsbee Road ninety-one feet of six- inch pipe,, Turnpike Street from the previous terminus at 318 Turnpike Street thirty-two feet of six-inch pipe. Six- inch gate valves were placed on the following hydrant branches and the, hydrants were raised: near 312 Turnpike Street, near 37 Sutton Street, Main Street at Johnson High School, near 33 Union Street. The hydrant on Salem Street at Marbleridge Road was moved back six feet. The hydrant near 281 Andover Street was moved back ten feet and a six- inch gate valve placed on the hydrant branch. The hydrant at the end of Commonwealth Avenue was moved back eight feet and a six-inch gate valve placed. Under the Works Progress Administration, the follow- ing water mains were installed with all pipe laid by regular water department employees: Railroad Avenue from Turn- pike Street to Marengo Street, two thousand nine hundred and sixty-two feet of twelve-inch pipe, two twelve-inch gate valves, one six-inch gate valve, one hydrant and eight feet of six-inch pipe; Railroad Avenue from Greene Street to ANNUAL I~PORT Trinity Court, three hundred and eight feet of twelve-inch pipe and one six-inch gate valve; Wood Lane from the pre- vious terminus westerly, four hundred and fifty-three feet of six-inch pipe, one six-inch gate valve and one hydrant. The W. P. A. spent $6,719.10 for labor and materials and the town spent $6,084.46 for materials under Article 25 (1939) and Article 21 (1940) and $565.00 for labor on the above projects. The system of water main pipes is listed according to size as follows: SIZE OF PIPE (INCHES) 14 12 10 8 6 LENGTH OF PIPE (FEET) 788 20828 8095 42833 221898 There were installed during the year 1940 fifty-six new services, which is the largest number of new water services installed in one year since the water system was first con- structed. Seventy-one old services were either wholly or par- tially renewed. Fifty-seven new meters were installed and two hundred and fifty-eight old meters were inspected and re- paired by the usual factory methods. Six services discontinued as temporary street mains or where the buildings were moved were dug up and shut off at the main, making a total of one hundred and thirty services removed from danger of leaking. There were thirty-seven service leaks, one joint leak, and two hydrants broken off by automobiles. Because there was no gate on the hydrant branch at the. corner of High and Sutton Street it was necessary to shut off the water supply on five adjoining streets before repairs could be made to the broken hydrant. Hydrants were inspected and consid- erable necessary repairs were made. Gate valves were in- spected as usual. Both reservoirs were cleaned with no inconvenience to consumers and without .difficulty because the new reservoir permitted the use of one reservoir at all times. Because sec- ond hand paving blocks of irregular size and shape were used in paving the slopes of the new reservoir it may be necessary to eventually gunite the paved slopes in order to secure a smooth, immovable surface. The telemeter house was shin- gled on one side and the whole building painted. New two- inch blow off valves were placed on each boiler at the Pmnp- lng Station. Piping changes and repairs were made to the surface condenser on the 2.5 million gallon a day pump so that much more satisfactory results could be obtained and a new crank pin box was placed on the low pressure side of the same pump. A~ new one inch tIenszey boiler feed meter TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 77 was installed. The furnace in the 1913 boiler was entirely rebuilt by regular employees. A woven wire gate was placed at the entrance to the Pumping Station driveway on Great Pond Road on the recommendation of the State Del~artment of Public Health for better protection of public water sup- plies. One hundred and fifty-six boats we.re registered for use on Lake Cochichewick and two hundred and sixty-five res/dents were granted permits to boat and fish there. Monthly bacterial examinations of the water have been made Ivy the Department of Public Health of the Commonwealth and the water approved. Quarterly i.nspection of the double check valve installation between the town water supply and other sources of supply for industrial use only have been made in co-operation with the State Department of Public Health. In following out a definite construction program in order that the water system may be strengthened and improved so as to meet any anticipated requirements in the future it is recommended that: 1. A new twelve-inch main feeder line be laid from the reservoir to the downtown section via Chestnut Street, Hill- side Road and Turnpike Street. 2. The original wooden coal bin at the Pumping Station be replaced with a larger bin of permanent construction. 3. A ten inch dual main be placed on Johnson Street from Mill Street to the present eight-inch auxiliary line to the Reservoir. 4. Continue the eight-inch main on Osgood Street from Prescott Street to Sutton Street as recommended by the New England Insurance Exchange. Sewer Department The North Andover Sewerage System is designed to flow in three divisions: The East Side Drainage Area with its trunk sewer following Cochichewick Brook from Lake Cochichewick to the Merrimack River; the West Side Drain- age Area with its trunk sewer on Railroad Avenue, Greene Street, and along the Shawsheen River to the Merrimack River; the Central Drainage Area bounded by Railroad Ave- nue, Middlesex, and Water Streets, with the trunk sewers ia Railroad Avenue, Water Street, and Main Street, to the Merrimack River. There are eighteen and seventy-seven hundredth miles of sewers in the North Andover sewerage system with about four hundred and fifty manholes. There are eleven hundred and fifty-five particular sewers connected with the main sewers: 78 ANNUAL REPORT The main sewers are listed according to size as follows: SIZE OF SEWERS (INCHES) 24 20 18 15 12 10 8 LENGTH OF SEWERS (FE~ET) 5926 822 8450 3211 3294 10396 18992 47313 The following main sewers were constructed in 1940: Marblehead Street, from Harold Street to Dana Street, two hundred and forty feet of si.x-inch pipe and one manhole; Dana Street, from Marblehead Street, three hundred and fifty feet of six-inch pipe and two manholes; Marblehead Street, from Massachusetts Avenue to William Street, two hundred and seventy-five feet of eight-inch pipe and twr~ manholes; William Street, from Marblehead Street, two hun- dred and seven feet of six-inch pipe and one manhole; Lyman Road from previous terminus to Silsbee Road, one hundred and sixty-seven feet of eight-inch pipe and one manhole. Under the Works Progress Administration the follow- ~ng sewers were constructed: Beacon Hill Boulevard, from Osgood Street southwesterly, three hundred and forty-six feet of eight-inch pipe and one manhole. Prospect Street, from Chadwick Street southeasterly, six hundred and fifty feet of eight-inch pipe and three manhoIes. East Water Street, from the East Side Trunk Sewer northwesterly, three hundred and eighty feet of eight-inch pipe and one manhole; Concord Street, from Bunkerhill Street southeasterly, one hundred and eighty feet of eight-inch pipe. The W. P. A. spent $5,037.37 for labor and the town spent, $1,115.00 for materials and $390.00 for labor. Fifty connections, including six renewals, totaling two thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight feet, were made between bu/ldings and the main sewers. Forty-two particu- lar sewers, most of them blocked with roots, were cleared. The main sewers were flushed and cleared in the spring as usual. The following recommendation is made in order that the sewerage system may be improved in accordance with a defi- nite program to promote the health and convenience of the people of the town: 1. The East Side Trunk Sewer to be extended from Stevens Street at Harkaway Road in order to take care of the Bathing Beach and the Center. 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 southerly along the Shawsheen River. TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 79 Few extensions in the Central Drainage g2'ea remain to be made. It should be noted that the sewerage system in North Andover was desig~ed and has been constructed as a sepa- rate system making use of small diameter pipes and high velocity of flow with no provision for drainage of surface or ground waters. The use of the sanitary sewer for drainage purpose is a violation of the rules relating to their use, and the continued use of the sewers for this purpose will eventu- ally lead to unsanitary conditions and considerable expense to the town especially if the vropesed trunk sewer from' LowelI to the sea is constructed and North Andover's sewage disposed of in that manner. Surface drai.ns have been pro- vided in many locations and can be in many others to take care of such drainage without subsequent damage or expense. Road Building Program The report of the Department of Public Works of the Commonwealth on a road building program for the Town of North Andover has been studied with regard to the sewer and water system on the streets referred to in the report. In oyder that any new road surface that may be placed will not be disturbed for some years, estimates for replacing old water services to the property lines, gating hydrant branches, packing gate valves, repairing valve boxes and other such work have been made. The streets have been surveyed for new main sewers where none exist and esti- mated costs made for such construction. It will be necessary to provide the estimated funds when and if the proposed road construction is voted for because the regular water and sewer appropriations are not sufficient to take care of the amount of extra work involved. Chapter 90 Roads Salem Street, from Boxford Street to Johnson Street. One thousand dollars will be necessary to replace water scrv- ices with copper service pipe, place gate valves on hydrant branches and repair gate valves and gate boxes. There is no sewer on Salem Street. Sutton Strqet, from the Lawrence line to 0sgood Street. Two thousand dollars will be required to replace water serv- ices, place gate valves on hydrant branches and repair gate valves and gate boxes. The existing sewer runs from Marble- head Street to 100 Sutton Street, from Main Street westerly to the Beacon Oil Company, from Main Street easterly to Methuen Avenue. No estimate of the cost of constructing a sewer on Sutton Street from the terminus at 100 Sutton ANNUAL REPORT Street to take care of part of Ashland Street has been made because the property there is taken care of otherwise. The estimated cost of installing a sewer on Sutton Street from Methuen Avenue approximately 1400 feet towards Osgood Street is $8,000.00. Repair of existing manholes and replacement of house connections known to be troubled by roots would cost $500.00. Town Roads Main Street, from Sutton Street to Water Street. The estimated cost of replacing water services ~o the property lines, placing valves on hydrant branches and repairing gate valves and valve boxes is $1,500.00. The estimated cost of replacing the obsolete stone manhole frames and covers and repairing other manholes is $500.00. Water Street, from Main Street to Elm Street. The estimated amount necessary to replace water services, place valve on hydrant branch and repair gate valves and valve boxes is $500.00. Repairs to the few sewer manholes could be done under sewer maintenance. Pleasant Street, from Davis Street to Stevens Street. Water service replacement, gate valve and valve box repair and the addition of one hydrant will require the expenditure of $500.00. The estimated cost of constructing an eight-inch sewer from Bunkerhill Street on Pleasant Street to Stevens Corner is $2,500.00 and from Lincoln Street on Pleasant Street to Davis Street is $1,000.00. Greene Street, from the Lawrence line to Main Street. The estimated cost of renewing water services, repairing valves and valve boxes and placing gates on hydrant branches is $500.00. The cost of constructing a ten-inch sewer from Massachusetts Avenue on Greene Street to Parker Street and an eight-inch from Parker Street to Wood- bridge. Road is $6,000.00. The cost of a new eight-inch sewer from Elm Street on Greene Street to Eradstreet Road is esti- rusted at $3,000.00. PARK DEPARTMENT The Center Common, Training Grounds, MemoriaI Park, Historical Society Plot and the Triangles have been main- tained as usual. Considerable attention was again given the trees on the Park and Common. The elm trees on the Common, almost defoIiated by the Elm Tree Beetle, were fed with Bartlett's tree food to strengthen the trees against another attack ef the Elm Tree BeetIe, Dead wood was removed and ali weak TOWN OF NORTH ANDO'VER, MASS. or split trees were wired or cabled. Some of the trees on the Park were, fed and all were trimmed and pruned where necessary. A large spuce tree donated by Foster A. Matthews was planted at the Park. The triangle at the corner of Park and Main Street was discontinued because it obstructed the heavy traffic on Park Street. The interest and co-operati~n of the North A~dover Improvement Society, the Garden Club and many private persons have enabled the Park Department to provide out- standing parks on a very limited expenditure.

Elliott, Auditor: I submit to you my annual report of the Highway Department for the year ending December 31, 1940. Summary of the Work of the Highway Department The money appropriated for Snow Removal was spent for ploughing, sanding streets and sidewalks, clearing snow from in front of public buildings, stores and churches, and in hauling sand to the Towax sheds. Snow plows were repaired and painted and fences were taken care of in the Spring and Fall. These. streets were oiled and sanded: Adams Ave., Bos- ton St., Bacon Ave., Barker St., Bay State Rd., Cleveland St., Cross St., Church St., Chestnut St., Dana St., Dewey St., Dufton Ct., Essex St., First St., Forest St., Gr. Pond Rd., Gray St., Garden St., Gr. Pond Rd. from Kunhardt residence to Boxford Line, Farnham St., }lodges St., Ingalls St., }fill- side. Rd., Johnson St;, Lacey St., May St., Marblehead St., Parker St., Rea St., Riverview St., Sargent St., Saunders St., Saunders Ct., Salem St. from Appleton's residence to Box- ford Line, Summer St., and Wood Lane. The following were scarified, shaped, graveled and oiled: Ashland St., Hewit~ Ave., Milton St., North Main St., and Pilgrim Rd. All country roads were scraped and graveled where needed. Five hundred feet of new wooden fence was put up from the Byers' residence to the Boxford Line., also a new fence and the stone wall repaired on Pleasa0t Street. All other fences were repaired and painted. Many of the catch-basins in the Town were repaired and in some places it was found necessary to rebuild them. From Sidney Rea's residence to the Boxford Line, the road was rebuilt with gravel and then oiled. The cost of this work was five hundred dollars ($500) which was spent from General Maintenance Appropriation. On Pleasant Street, from Stevens' Corner to the Railroad tracks was also graw eled and oiled, costing five hundred dollars ($500). On Bea- con Hill Blvd. similar work was done, the cost of which was taken from General Maintenance Appropriation. Fifteen hun- dred feet was resurfaced on Salem Street starting front the Boxford Line. Saveral complaints had come before the Board of Select- men concerning the very dangerous condition at the corner TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. of Marbleridge Road and Salem Street. A project covering these two corners had been drawn up, but according to the Yore at the Town Meeting no money was allotted for round- ing corners under W. P. A. This condition was referred to the Highway Surveyor and the work was done by the depart- ment from General Maintenance appropriation. On Chapin Road from Middlesex Street to Buckingham Road, one hundred yards was excavated to get road down to grade. It was then scarified, shaped and oiled to Herrick Road. A large tree was removed at the corner of Middlesex Street and Chapin Road. Main Street from Osgood Street to Elm Street was scari- fied, shaped and oiled. Owing to the good road bed £rom Osgood Street to the By-Pass, it seemed more advisable to change the grade of the sidewalk rather than dig up the road, therefore making it necessary to build a re~aining wall at the Ryan residence. From Parkway to Elm Street two hundred yards of excavating was done to make road accord- ing to grade. This was treated with one gallon to the square yard of T. 3. After ten days this was covered with one-half gallon to the square yard of R.C. 3 and Pea Stone. One hun- dred twenty-five tons of stone was used. The road was wid- ened to forty feet from Osgood Street to Elm Street, making it possible to park cars on either side of the road at Stevens HalI and leaving a two-lane road between. This work reIieved two dangerous places on Main Street, one at the Stevens Memorial Library and the other across from the Ryan resi- dence.. Ten catch-basins were lowered on the street. The cost of this work has taken from General Maintenance appro- priation. Seventy feet of eight-inch pipe laid and one catch-basin built on Norman Road. This work relieved a bad condition which e~isted there. Sidewalks The following sidewalks were rebuilt or repaired; four hundred ninety-three sq. yds. of ~dressing and seventy-six sq. yds. new asphalt on First Street; ninety sq. yds. dressing on Railroad Ave.; five hundred thirty-six sq. yds. dressing and eighty-nine sq. yds. new asphalt on Third Street; seven sq. yds. relgairing and thirty feet of curbing reset on Nor- man Road; forty sq. yds. cement repairing on Bradstreet Road; ten feet of cement curbing reset at Elm corner Pleas- ant Street; curbing reset on Garden Street; new sidewalk constructed on Main Street from Chickering Road to Osgood Street; retaining wall on Sutton Street rebuilt. Many other 88 ANNUAL REPORT sidewalks were repaired and resurfaced with Pea Stone. Chapter 90 Maintenance On Boxford Street, three hundred feet of road which had been left to settle from last year was finished, and two hundred feet on this end of road was finished with gravel and sealed with MC2.

Gentlemen: As Town Treasurer I submit herewith my report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1940. Balance on hand January 1, 1940 $ 26,060 54 Recepits for the year 764,970 86 Total $791,031 40 Disbursements 757,006 57 Balance on hand December 3I, 1940 Closed Banks, Lawrence $ Andover National Bank, Red School Fund Andover National Bank, Pond School Fund Community Savings Bank 7,216 97 L619 52 690 26 3,137 17 $34,024 83 TOWN OF NORTH ANDO,VER, MASS. 113 Bay State Merchants Nat. Bank 21,360 91 Balance on hand December 31, 1940 $34,024 83 JAMES J. MAKER, Town Treasurer. TAX TITLES Regarding tax tit]es the State Tax Commissioner Henry F. Long has constantly urged the Treasurer to be sure to request the Town to appropriate sufficient funds this year, and to start foreclosing procedure on tax titles at once in order that it could again become revenue, producing as it will be much less costly for the Town to make their provisions for the foreclosure of the rights of redemption than for the Commissioner of Corporations and Taxation Department to cause the foreclosure to be made at an expense which will be charged back to the Town. Taxes levied each year on property which is not produc- ing cash but only amounts which are added to tax title accounts indicate the possibility of an increased rate in a subsequent year for taxpayers to make up a revenue deficit of the previous year. As of December 31, 1940 the number of tax titles held by the Town numbers one hundred fifty-three (153) cases, representing $31,100.52. Sufficient funds were available the past year in the Tax Title Foreclosure Account to foreclose on eight (8) cases. The Town has received a decree on four (4) cases, the bal- ance being in the process of being foreclosed. A great deal of work will be involved this year as the Town has approximately one hundred (100) cases which are ripe for foreclosure. REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH The Town has been free from a serious run of communi- cable diseases during the year 1940. The following have been reported: Measles 96 Diphtheria 1 Chicken Pox 31 Mumps 16 ])og Bite 26 Pulmonary Tuberculosis Scarlet Fever 18 Typhoid Fever 1 Lobar Pneumonia 1 V~booping Cough 1 Trichinosis 2 ANNUAL REPORT We have had four patients at Essex Sanatorium through the year. In April the State Department of Health, Division of Tuberculosis, offered a reclassification clinic for Reported Cases of Tuberculosis, which was carried out. The X-ray apparatus was set up in the town building. They found twelve that could be placed on the inactive list, with an annual check-up, and one was advised observation at the Sanatorium, which she refused after every effort was made to overcome objections. In regard to dog bites, while 26 have been reported, have been fortunate in being able to identify and quarantine the dogs (14 days)--none were found to have rabies. The im- portant things in these cases are to identify the dog, notify the Board of Health, medical treatment for the bite. If the dog proves to have rabies, anti-rabic treatments should be given. Should the dog not be identified or is killed, these treatments are also necessary. At the. beginning of the school year the Diptheria Im- munization Clinics were held as usual--86% of children in the schools are immunized. As this disease is most dangerous for children from six months to six years of age, special effort has been made to take care of this group. Covering five years approximately 50 % of the children have taken advantage of the clinic, and many more have been done by the family physician. While we may get a case now and again there is no danger of an epidemic, if this work is carried on each year. We hope to get the same cooperation in the future, as in the past, and thank the parents and teachers for their interest and help at these Clinics. All legitimate complaints in the field of Sanitation, and concerning nuisances, the Board of Health has made, and will continue to make an immediate and thorough investiga- tion to correct any unsanitary conditions. Look elsewhere in the Town Report for the financial report of the Board of Health. While the State and County reimburses the Town for money expended for vaccines and other cases, this re- imbursement goes into the ge~eral fund and does not appear as a credit against our regular appropriation.

Respectfully submitted, ARTHUR JENKINS, Sealer of Weights and Measures. 116 ANNUAL REPORT ANNUAL REPORT OF MOTH AND TREE DEPARTMENT The Insect Pest condition in the Town of North Andover is about the same as last year, with the exception of the Elm Leaf Beetle. We have had a very bad infestation of this beetle this year, in all parts of the town. We understand this condition prevailed in all parts of the State. The State De- partment of Conservation attribute these conditions to the rainy weather we. had during the early part of the spraying season. With our regular men, we have a W.P.A. Moth Project, which has taken care of the creosoting of the gypsy egg ma~ses. This is followed up by spraying with arsenic of lead during the feeding season. The Tree Department has trimmed, shaped, bolted and cabled a number of shade trees on Pleasant S~reet, Stevens Street, Great Pond Road, Chestnut Street, Hillside Road, Railroad Ave., Green Street, Salem Street and other l~arts of the town. A number of trees that were in bad condition have been removed. In the spring, 50 trees were planted on Herrick, Lyman, Little, Buckingham, Cabot and Norman Roads, Garden and Main Streets. Brush was cut on the bad corners and curves on the roadsides and on narrow country roads. This brush cutting must be done each year to make the roads safer for the motorists. There were 3000 spruce seedlings received from the State Department of Forestr5~. The same number of trees were. planted in the Town forest as other years. A large number of our larger pines were trimmed this year. JOHN' J. CONNORS. TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 117 TAX COLLECTOR'S REPORT December 31, 1940. To the Citizens of North Andover: The tax report for this past year shows that 87~% of the 1940 levy and 97~ % of the 1939 levy has been collected at the dose of the year. This is an improvement of 21~ % and 1~ % respectively over the report of the previous year. Due in part to the authority to issue notices of cancella- tion of automobile registrations, the collection of motor vehicle excises continues to improve, with the. 1939 commit- ments completely collected and the uncollected balance of the 1940 connmitments only $129.02. With the exception of one 1938 personal property tax on which partial payments are being accepted, all levies of the years 1936, 1937 and 1938 (the. years for which the original commitments were given to your present collector) are col- lected in full. On May 15, 1936, the following tax balances covering the years 1927 through 1935 were recommitted to your present collector: Real Estate and Polls $122,082 21 Old Age Assistance 2,053 00 Motor Yehicle Excises 21,280 98 Moth Assessments 232 10 Collection of these old accounts has now been com- pleted. The improvement in tax collections is noted in "Finan- cial Statistics," a report published by Tyler and Company of Boston, which is based on figures obtained from the Department of Corporations and Taxation, as follows: October 1, 1940 (Last available report in 1940) Tax Collections Value Debt Debt Levy 19,q9 Unco]leatc~l Title .$7,298,595. $35,000. $5. $298,712. 95% $179. $28,612. The to/:al collections of all taxes, interest and demands turned over to the Treasurer during 1940 was $306,977.89.

One joint meeting was held with the Board of Health to consider the question relating to the possible pur- chase of land owned by Stanley Stefanowich bordering Great Pond Road referred to these two Boards at the last annual Town Meeting. Real Estate Developments off Great Pond Road and Osgood Street on property of Stanley Stefanowich, and in area bounded by Railroad Avenue and Massachusetts Ave- nue and owned by J. M. C. Trust have been approved. The preparation of the "Master Plan" or "Land Use Plan" has been somewhat delayed by lack of qualified field workers and draftsmen available from the W. P. A. However, all the field work is now completed except for the measure- merits of new buildings recently erected. The drafting opera- tions are approximately $0 per cent done on the small sec- tional maps. These maps are 23 inches by 35 inches in size on a scale of 40 feet to 1 inch, and they show all streets and buildings with each building designated as to type and oc- cupancy. The large map on a scale of 300 feet to 1 inch show- ing the entire town is about 35 per cent completed. While these maps are being prepared primarily as a basis for con- sideration of zoning regulations, they have already proved of great value to other Town Departments. During W.P.A. Open House Week these plans were on exhibition in the Town Building and were viewed with interest by many citizens. Highways At the suggestion of this Board the Selectmen requested the Massachusetts Department of Public Works to make a survey of all the streets in Town. This work was completed last summer and an extensive report with recommendations as to future road construction and maintenance is now in the hands of Town Officials. This report recommends the following: Chapter 90 Completion of Boxford Street and Salem Street to Johnson Street. Total Cost $70,000 Town's Share $3,500 per year for five years. TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 125 Town Roads 1941 and 1942 Main Street (Sutton Street to Water Street) Total Cost $20,000 10,000 each year. 1943 Water Street (Main Street to Elm Street) $10,000 1944 and 1945 Pleasant Street (Davis Street to Stevens Street) Total Cost $20,000 $10,000 each year. We believe that the suggestions embodied in this report should be followed consistently from year to year and ap- propriations made accordingly in order that our highways may be constructed and maintained on the basis of a care- fully considered plan. In our opinion this will not only effect economy but will give us good roads where they are most needed and will avoid the more or less haphazard improve- ments which result from hastily considered action of Town ~Meetings. Building Code We are constantly reminded of the .desirability of a proper Building Code. The assessors have discussed with us the possibility of the establishment o~ some form o£ permit for the erection of new buildings of any type in order that a more accurate record of new construction may be kept. We are in sympathy with this idea but as provision for such permits would be an essential part of a Building Code and would involve certain requirements of the code, we are of the opinion that such permits should be required only after a code is established. Respectfully submitted, C. MASON TUCKER, WILLIAM A. RUSSELL, ISAAC' OSGOOD, JOHN J. COSTELLO. In accordance with the vote taken at the Annual Town Meeting of March 16, 1940, the Board of Selectmen requested the State Department of Public Works to make a survey oi' the roads of the Town and recommend a program for sys- tematic permanent improvement of the streets. The following report was made by Mr. J. E. Lawrence, Maintenance Engineer of the Massachusetts Department of Public Works: I am transmitting herewith a report compiled from in- formation furnished by C. A. Fritz, Senior Civil Engineeer, 126 ANNUAL REPORT on the request of the Board of Selectmen of North Andover for a recommendation from this department for a highway program. There are 66 miles of town roads in North Andover and I am attaching a breakdown of the road system showing the odometer mileage and the type of surface on each road. The money spent by the town in 1939 is as follows: Road maintenance $38,499.81, $32,000 of which was an appropriation by the town to be taken from the tax levy and $6,500 was granted the town under Chapter 500; Chapter 90 construction $14,000, $3,500 of which was raised and appropriated by the town. In addition to the Chapter 90 construction, there was a town appropriation of $10,000 for the construction of town roads and the superintendent's salary of $3,000 is appropriated separately, making a total of $65,500 of which $48,500 was raised and appropriated by the town. In addition to this sum $11,109 was spent for the re- moval of snow. I have not however considered the snow removal item in this study, since it is variable and should be included in the town budget as a separate appropriation. Recommended Annual Highway Appropriation Maintenance $30,000 Chapter 90 Maintenance 2,000 Chapter 90 Construction 3,500 Town Road Construction 10,000 Gravelling & Drainage on Outlying Roads 4,500 Total $50,000 Based on a valuation of $8,180,788 established by the Legislature in 1938, this annual expenditure of $50,000 for highways by the town would amount to $6.11 per $1,000 valuation and $757.57 per mile of road. These figures, al- though somewhat higher than those of other comparable towns in Essex County, are not excessive considering the greater congestion and heavier traffic in North Andover. Construction It appears that the town will secure greater benefit from money expended if the construction program is divided between through routes where assistance may be obtained from the State and County under Chapter 90 and roads of local importance where the work will be financed wholly by town appropriations. In seIecting roads for early construc- tion, the following features were considered: 1. Importance o£ the Road TOWN OF NORTYI ANDOVER, MASS. 127 2. Present Condition 3. Type of Surface 4. Cost of Construction Chapter 90 Roads Nearly all of I]oyfford St. has been rebuilt recently under Chapter 90. It would be well to continue this work over the remainder o£ Box£ord St. and Salem St. £rom the junction o£ ]]oxford and Salem Sts. to Johnson St. with the same type of construction. This surface is a broken stone mixed in ;Place 2" in thickness over a gravel foundation which should be. sufficient £or the traffic using this route. The cost of the work already done is at the rate of about $26,000 per mile and indications are that the same rate should be con- sidered for the completion of the route. The distance remain- ing to be built is 2.6 miles, for which about $70,000 would he required. After this route is completed, Sutton St. deserves spe- cial consideration. This road carries heavy local traffic as well as heavy through traflic from Lawrence to Route 110 leading to ttaverhiI1. It is 1.3 miles in length and requires reconstruction with bituminous macadam 30' in width. The present condition indicates poor ~'oundation and drainage £rom Chadwick St. to Osgood St. It is estimated that this work would cost $2.00 per square yard or $46,000 for the whole road. Town Roads Considering roads of special local importance, the first consideration is given to Main St. from Sutton St. to Water St. This is about 2,000t in len~h with an average width of 46'. It is now in poor condition and badly out of shape due to the former location of stree~ railway ~racks in the middle of the street. A Type "I" Bituminous Concrete surface 2t~ in thickness over a bituminous macadam base 4" in thickness or a closely keyed top surface of bituminous macadam as- phalt to insure quiet and smoothness is recommended. It is anticipated ~hat considerable new foundation will be required as well as some drainage work. The estimated cost for Type "I" is $20,000. The bituminous macadam asphalt surface would be somewhat less. Following the construction of this part of Main St., Water St. from Main St. to Elm St. is recommended for the same type of construction. The length of this section of road is about 1,200~ and ~he estimated cost is $10,000. Pleasant St. from Davis St. to Stevens St. is another desirable project for which a bituminous macadam surface 180 ANNUAL REPORT Cornelius J. Mahoney, North Andover Walter K. Morse, Boxford Samuel F.

Eastham, Andover (Chairman) Roy ~. Hardy, Andover C. Carleton Kimball, Andover There are also several Associate Members. On registration day, October 16, 1940, all men between the ages of. 21 and 36 were recorded, 1182 from Andover, 851 from North Andover and 72 from Boxford--a total of 2105- later increased by additions and transfers to 2186. Our District number three, as its share of the first 800,000 to be called by June 1941, must furnish approxi- mately 89 men in addition to the 179 men from this district already serving in the various branches of the armed forces. Since registration day approximately 24 men have enlisted of their own accord, and including the fourth draft call of Feb. 18th, the selective service has sent 35 men, eleven of whom w~re volunteers. This leaves about thirty more that will be required to make up our quota of 89 men. The Board classifies its men in accordance with their order number and by Feb. 18th will have elassitied between 600 and 700 men, Which may perhaps be enough to fill its quota of 89. All men sent are from Class IA, who have. been judged available and have passed the physical examination. The Board takes this opportunity to thank the Town of AndoVer for its patriotic generosity hx providing a comfort- able and attractive office in the second story of the Andover Town Hall. There all the citizens of Andover, Boxford and North Andover will be welcome and may obtain such infor- mat!6_n and help as is at our disposal. TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 127 2. Present Condition 3. Type of Surface 4. Cost of Construction Chapter 90 Roads Nearly all of Boxford St. has been rebuilt recently under Chapter 90. It would be well to continue this work over the remainder of Boxford St. and Salem St. from the junction of Boxford and Salem Sts. to Johnson St. with the same type of construction. This surface is a broken stone mixed in place 2~ in thickness over a graw{ foundation which should be sufficient for the traffic using this route. The cost of the work already done is at the rate of about $26,000 per mile and indications are that the same rate should be con- sidered for the completion of the route. The distance remain- ing to be built is 2.6 miles, for which about $70,000 would be required. After this route is completed, Sutton St. deserves spe- c/al consideration. This road carries heavy local traffic as well as heavy t}u'ough traffic from Lawrence to Route 110 leading to Haverhill. It is 1.3 miles in length and requires reconstruction with bitmninous macadam 30~ in width. The present condition indicates poor foundation and .drainage from Chadwick St. to Osgood St. It is estimated that this work would cost $2.00 per square yard or $46,000 for the whole road. Town Roads Considering roads of special local importance, the lirst consideration is given to Main St. from Sutton St. to Water St. This is about 2,000' in length with an average width of 46'. It is now in poor condition and ba.dly out of shape due to the former location of street railway tracks in the middle of the street. A Type 'T' Bituminous Concrete surface 2" in thickness over a bituminous macadam base 4" in thickness or a closely keyed top surface of bituminous macadam as- phalt to insure quiet and smoothness is recommended. It is anticipated that considerable new foundation will be required as well as some drainage work. The estimated cost for Type "I" is $20,000. The bituminous macadam asphalt surface would be somewhat less. Following the construction of this part of Main St., Water St. from Main St. to Elm St. is recommended for the same type of construction. The length of this section of road is about 1,200' and the estimated cost is $10,000. Pleasant St. from Davis St. to Stevens St. is another desirable project for which a bituminous macadam surface ANNUAL REPORT 6" in depth is recommended. The length is about 4,000' and it would be desirable to build to a width of 24'. New gravel foundation and some .drainage is required. Estimated cost is $20,000. Green St. from the Lawrence line to Main St. is now in poor condition and will assume considerable importance if the city of Lawrence should reconstruct the bridge over the Shawsheen River at the line and improve the road from this bridge toward Lawrence. Bituminous macadam 24' in width is recommended for this. New gravel foundation and drain- age will be ffeeded. The estimated cost is $28,000. The above estimates do not include any amounts for land damages. North Andover has a number of unaecepted streets and it is apparent that there are many new homes being con- strueted in the town, and undoubtedly there will be a con- stant demand for the acceptance of streets on which con- siderable building construction has been done. I believe it would be advisable for the town to accept these streets under the' Betterment Act requiring the abutters to pay the cost of construction. If this Act were not accepted, we would recommend that these streets be graded and .drained before acceptance. In that event, a special appropriation would be necessary or part of the funds recommended for work on out- lying roads could be used. This would be a special problem that would have to be met each year and would depend on the. public demand for new streets. Maintenance Attached is a tabulation showing the breakdown of the $30,000 recommended annual expenditure for maintenance. This estimate is based on the department's experience with maintenance costs of similar types of surface in the so- called Chapter 81 towns. It is however, considerably higher than Chapter 81 costs, as a whole, due to the heavier type and greater concentration of traffic in this town. Allowance has been made for a surface treatment two years out of three on the treated gravel roads which carry fairly heavy traffic and for a seal coat once in ten years on the bituminous macadam roads. The salary of the superintendent has not been listed separately, as I believe it should come out of the regular appropriation. Recommended Five-Year Construction Program Chapter 90 Completion of Boxford St. and Salem St. to Johnson St. TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 129 Total Cost $70,000 Town's Share $3,500 per year for five years Town Roads 1941 and 1942 Main St. (Sutton St. to Water St.) Total Cost $20,000 $10,000 each year 1943 Water St. (Main St. to Elm St.) $10,000 1944 and 1945 Pleasant St. (Davis St. to Stevens St.) Total Cost $20,000 $10,000 each year The amount of money to be appropriated each year for highway work is, of course, something for the town to determine. To continue the Chapter 90 work at the present rate, that is, the town raising $3,500 for this work and $10,000 per year for local road construction, would be as little as could be recommended. In due time, I would suggest that the town apply for Chapter 90 assistance on Sutton St. or other through roads after the completion of Salem St. or if the town desired to increase its appropriation for Chapter 90 work. I would also recommend that the town take advantage of available Federal funds under the Secondary Road Con- struction Program sponsored by this department in con- junction with the Work Projects Administration. The town funds could come either from the $4,500 for work on outlying roads or from a special town appropriation. Respectfully submitted, J. E. LAWRENCE, Maintenance Engineer.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE, NORTH ANDOVER SCHOOL COMMITTEE 157 To the Citizens of North Andover, At a meeting held January 15, 1941, it was voted to accept the report of the Superintendent of Schools and to adopt it as the annual report of the School Committee. FRE.DERICK C. ATKINSON, M.D., CLINTON W. CARVELL, LOUIS II. McALOON, Chairman. 1940 Annual Report the Superintendent of Schools North Andover, Mass., January 15, 1941. To the School Committee o£ North Andover, I herewith submit to you my fourteenth annual report. New Fence, Wall and Drain Needed at Bradstreet School During the last few years complaints have been made by a property owner next to the Bradstreet School because of the wash of dirt onto his proper~y caused by the erosion of the school grounds. As the funds allotted to the Bradstreet grounds under the 1938 W. P. A. blanket project were transferred so as to permit increased expenditures on the firebarn floor and in- firmary, the town should now consider appropriating' money to remedy the conditions of the ]]radstreet grounds which are the cause of complaint. The estimated cost is $1,200 which would be for a cement retaining wall, surface drain, and a chain link fence with posts set into the cement wall, all these to be along the north boundary of the Bradstreet property. Need of More Classrooms and Teachers at Johnson High School A letter of warning received from A. Russell Mack, 158 ANNUAL REPORT State Supervisor of Secondary Education, states that the maximum approved number of pupils per teacher in a high school is 30. At Johnsori High School there are 34 pupils per teacher, since, there are 13 teachers for 483 pupils. An in- crease in the teaching staff from 13 to 16 would reduce the number of pupils pe.r teacher to the acceptable standard of 30. Several more classrooms, store rooms, various accessory rooms, a new gymnasium, larger auditorium (as the present one will not accommodate all the pupils at once), and ground space for an outdoor recreation program are ail very much needed. Your attention is called to the portion of the high school principal's report which gives more details in regard to the need of more teachers. W. P. A. Nu~rsery School The Nursery School, an unemployment project under the Works Progress Administration, has continued through the year at the Frank[in School About 30 children, ages 2 to 41/~ years, are usually enrolled. The staff consists of Mrs. Elsie Cornel/, R.N., nurse, Mrs. Grace Lawton, cook, and Mrs. Clara Richardson, instructor. The pupils come to school about 9.09 A. M., and return home about 2.30 P. M. The daily program consists of play, lunch, sleep, and play. During the year the federal government paid staff wages amounting to $2,720.00, the School Department paid for fuel and janitor service, gas and electricity amounting to $305.62, the local W. P. A. Department paid $447.70 and the Excess Commodities Commission contributed surplus foods to the estimated worth of $269.00. These surplus foods included in pounds, potatoes 465, oranges 372, apples 199, prunes 136, cereal wheat 98, raisins 96, rolled oats 90, cab- bages 90, carrots 82, bacon 90, pears 80, beets 50, ham 46, string beans 46, butter 40, tomatoes 40, shortening 31, flour 22, beans 12, cheese 8, salt pork 5, in dozens, eggs 78, in cans, grapefruit juice 378, apple 212, milk 130, beets 120, pea chowder 120, string beans 120, wax beaus 120, peaches 50. Parents Visit SehooI Very Litt(e Of the 131 pupils who graduated from grade ~flI iN June there were 10 whose parents had not visited school dur- ing the eight years their children had been in school. Three parents averaged to have visited school three times a year for the eight years. The average for all parents was one visit every two years by either gather or mother. TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 159 P. T. A. Formed in May a Parent Teacher Association was formed in North Andover after a period of over 20 years in which no such organization existed here. The. membership now con- sists of 135 parents and 31 teachers. The establishment of such an association is highly ap- proved. The mutual understanding between parents and teachers that can come about through such a group wilt be of great help in the education and nurture of the children. 'When teachers and parents fail to understand the methods, attitudes and problems of each other, it is primarily the children that suffer in the resulting operation of cross pur- poses. Mental Tests in June In June the pupils in grades VII and VIII and the Jun- iors and Seniors in high school were given the Otis Quick Scoring Mental Ability Tests. The resulting scores are indi* cared in terms of Intelligent Quotients as follows: Seniors: Average I.Q. was 109, with a range from 82 to 136 Juniors: Grade VIII: Average I.Q. was 109, with a range from 62 to 131 Grade VII: Average I.Q. was 110, with a range from 57 to 133 New Textbooks in Primary Reading Since 1928 the Child Story Readers (Lyons and Carna- hah) have been used as the basal method of reading instruc- tion in grades I to IV. This system is now being replaced by The Easy Growth in Reading (John C. Winston) Which was almost unanimously chosen by a vote of the teachers. This series has about half as many new words per page as the former series, and is much more carefully and evenly graded in this respect. Hence, there is less struggle with the vocabu- law burden to reduce the interest and enjoyment in the stow and content. This will contribute tv bekter reading techniques and a greater love of reading. County Trade School Recommended A bill to establish a county trade school in Essex County has been fried in the General Court on the recommendation of the school superintendents of the county. This would pro- vide a place where capable boys, particularly from the smaller towns, could secure training as machinists, electricians, in 160 ANNUAL REPORT radio repair, sheet metal work and in some other fields. Since Johnson High School offers no trade courses, this community would greatly benefit by the establishment of such a county school. N. Y. A. Youth During tile year four pupils in Johnson High School were approved by John L. Donovan, Jr., State Youth Admin- istrator, for work on National Youth Administrator projects. This furnishes boys and girls over 16 years of age from the ]ow income brackets opportunity to earn about $6 a month while in school working on various tasks as arranged by the high school principal and superintendent. Since the Committee Room in the Town Office Building has been divided and occupied by other departments, there is no adequate space in which these and other N. Y. A. youth can work. Expert Guidance for Seniors In May according to arrangement made with the Depart- ment of Student Counseling in Boston University, Mrs. Bea- trice Cahill, of the staff there and expert in educational and vocational guidance, again came to Johnson High School and gave a battery of guidance tests to the 14 seniors who regis- tered for this service. After the tests h~cI been scored ?or aptitudes and interests, written and oral advice was given each pupil by Mrs. Cahill. This service was offered to all Seniors for a fee of $1.50 per pupil. In February about 8 from the high school attended a series of guidance conferences at Northeastern University, and in June, 3 attended the guidance institute at Tufts Col- lege. ~rdult Alien Class The class for adult aliens in which they prepare ~or citizenship is held Monday and Thursday evenings 7.00 P. M. to 9.00 P. M. in the B~mdstre,et School The annual term begins in November and lasts for 40 sessions. The teacher is Mrs. Frances L. Mahoney. Fourteen persons are enrolled. 54% Employed Ages 18 to 21 According to the schooI census taken in October by Miss Mary Koroskys 193 of the 361 youth ages 18 to 21 years were employed. For boys the proportion was 67% and for girls 38%. In 1939 the percent when both sexes were in- cluded was 60% and in 1938 it was 54%. There is much interest among educators as to whether or not improved employment conditions will tend to reduce TOWN OF NORTH ANDO'VER, MASS. 161 school enrollments. It has not as yet. ~7% in School, Ages 18 to 21 The October 1940 school census showed that of the 361 youths ages 18 to 21 years, 96 or 27 % were in high school, college or other institutions of education and training. For boys the percent was 24% and for giEs 30%. In 1939 the pro- portion was 23% (boys 19%, girls 28%), and in 1938 it was 18% (boys 18%, girls 18%). These figures do not indicate that improved economic conditions will reduce enrollments in educational institutions. Rules on Qualifications for New High School Teachers and Nurses The regulations of the School Committee regarding the qualifications of ne~vly elected high school teachers and school nurse now read as follows: So far as possible the superintendent in recommending new teachers and school nurses for election by the School Committee shall recommend only candidates having mini- mum qualifications as follows: High school teachers: A bachelor's degree from an ac- credited four year college. The vacancy for which the candi- date is to be considered shall include the teaching of a sub- ject from the field in which in college the candidate majored, concentrated or specialized and has 24 semester hours of credit, or has recently taught for two years. And also has a--15 semester hours credit in professionaI courses in education, or b-- 9 semester hours credit in professional courses in education and two years of recent teaching ex- perience in high school, or c-- 6 semester hours of credit in professional courses in education and three years of recent teaching experience in high schooI, or d --4 or more years of recent teaching experience in high school and credit for an acceptable course recently taken in professional education. School Nurse: Graduate of high school, a registered nurse (R.N.) with certificate from an accredited school of public health nursing, or has had three years of recent experience as a public health nurse and has credit for accep- table courses recently taken in public health nursing satis- factorily related to school nursing. A candidate having a legal residence in North Andover shall be given preference when in 9he judgment of the super- intendent his qualifications for the position are equal or 162 ANNUAL REPORT superior to the highest ranking non-resident candidate. Mar- ried women with employable husbands are ineligible to elec- tion as a teacher or school nurse. Larger Appropriation Important The 1941 budget for the School Department is nearly $4,000 larger than the 1940 appropriation. The following are among the factors causing this increase: 1--A larger pro- portion of teachers have reached the higher salary brackets through long service. 2--while the elementary enrollment has decreased, there has been an almost equivalent increase in the high school enrollment where per pupil costs are sub- stantially higher. 3--Inventories of supplies and equipment are lower than usual. 4--The greater range in pupil ability and aptitude that exists in the much increased student body of the high school calls for a greater variety of instructional equipment. 5--The increased high school enrollment calls for much more equipment of the same types as have beeu used in the past. These factors make this increase in the budget seem really necessary. Education and National Defense This country is threatened within by authoritatorian victories and with the rise of undemocratic ideas and beliefs. The program of national defense, is being planned to care for that danger from without, and to education is assigned the task of preparing against the danger from within. Only through an understanding o£ the democratic prin- ciples at stake, of the latent internal enemies of these princi- ples, and of the undemocratic and foreign alternatives can this nation be rallied successfully to defend itself. By gradu- ating youth with sound bodies the schools can assist in meet- ing the danger from without. Too many are being found physically unfit for national service. Schools must now give particular emrhasis to alert citizenship and health. Education and national defense: Both must be stressed, and both must receive adequate financial support during these critical years if this nation is to be preserved as a free democracy. Appreciation In closing I wish to express my appreciation of the fact that due to a congenial and able School Committee and to eo-oporative and friendly teachers and janitors, this past TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 163 year has for me been one of great pleasure as well as of service. Respectfully submitted, FRED E. PITKIN, Superintendent of Schools. REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL, OF JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL January 2, 1941 To the Superintendent of Schools: I submit to you, my ninth annual report for Johnson High School. The following table shows the enrollment by grades as of October 1, for the past five years: 1936 1937 1938 1939 1940 Post Graduates 12 14 20 19 14 Seniors 77 79 73 72 98 Juniors 86 80 87 116 118 Sophomores 92 101 123 131 121 Freshmen 112 130 134 114 140 879 404 437 452 491 It will be observed that during the last five years there has been a constant increase in our enrollment, Expressed on a percentage basis, there has been a 30% increase during this five year period. Attention should also be called to the fact that during this time the number of teachers on our staff has shown no increase. This problem of overcrowding is becoming serious, since. as long ago as 1937 we exceeded the State Department rec- ommendation as to the number of pupils per teacher in our school. This year I find that the average number of pupils being instructed by four of my teachers exceeds 200 for each of these teachers. I have recently been informed by the State Department of Education that they favor a program of five classes a day per teacher, with class sizes not exceed- ing 30 pupils. This is equivalent to 150 pupils per teacher, as a maximum. Under conditions with which we must con~ tend it should be obvious that our entire economy is at the expense of the pupils. No effort can be made toward in- dividual instruction and only a negligible amount of time can be devoted to any one pupil, outside of regular classes. This is a situation which must be corrected if the school 164 ANNUAL REPORT is to maintain the excellent rating which it has enjoyed in the past. Last June the school awarded diplomas to 71 graduates. Many of these are now continuing their education in New England Colleges. Arthur Greenwood, who was awarded the Women's Club Scholarship, is now attending New Hamp- shire University. Among other colleges chosen by these graduates, were Jackson, Tufts, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston University, Radcliffe, Massachusetts State College, Northeastern University and Maryville Col- lege. In no case were examinations required since our school holds the certification privilege for its high ranking students. At this time last year, I predicted a graduating class of approximately 100 students for this June. That predic- tion appears to be correct, since at present 98 pupils are enrolled as Seniors. This number of graduates will present a problem in June, because of the limited space available for these programs. The present stage at Stevens Hall is inadequate for this number, while an extension of the stage will cause a decrease in the space available in the auditorium, for parents and friends of the graduating class. Because of our increased enrollment this year, it was considered advisable to have two recesses. This plan seems to be working in a very satisfactory manner, and tends to eliminate some of the congestion in .the lunch room and corridors during the recess period. Since last June, we have had only one change in our staff. Miss Edith Jensen, who was associated with us for three years, retired to be married. To fill this vacancy, we were. fortunate to secure Mr. George Lee, who has had some experience in college teaching. Mr. Lee, in addition to his teaching duties, is also acting as faculty manager of athletics. Our athletic teams have continued their successes and brought new honors to our school. Particularly was this true of the football team of last fall, which closed a season dur- ing which it was untied and undefeated. In conclusion I wish to express my appreciation to all who have worked so faithfully to carry out our educational program under some very trying conditions, during the past year.
