Circulation and Use of Books 55,982 volumes were issued from the Library during 1932. There was a circulation of 1,518 books from the pub- lie schools to which some of our books are sent, making a grand total of 57,436 volumes belonging to the Stevens Memorial Library, that have been circulated during the year. This is a circulation of 8.2 per capita, and an increase of 9,497 books or 19 % during 1982. It is more than twice the number of books circulated five years ago. The depression increases the work of libraries through- out the country. People who are out of work can come and borrow books from us, and for a while forget their anxieties. There has been a greater demand for magazines to take home. Many have been forced to drop their subscription to their favorite magazines. They are glad when they find that the Library has the magazine and will lend it to them. It is to be regretted that we were forced to cancel our own subscriptions to some of the magazines, and to give up two newspapers. There are more students than ever before at Johnson High School. This means more reference work at the library. Many books are read here in the l~eading Room and Reference Room that do not show in our record of circulation for the year. Our record of books circulated from the schools is not complete, as some of the grades do not keep a record of how many times a book circulates while it is in their possession. 16,636 books were issued from the Children's Room. This is 832 more than the 1931 record. 1,055 books were sent to schools,--343 more than in 1931. TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 99 77 were sent to camps or loaned on a vacation charge. This is an increase of 36 over last year. Only 5 pictures were loaned. This is 46 less than the number loaned in 1931. Registration of Borrowers 408 borrowers were registered, of whom 238 were adults, 118 children under 12 years of age, and 52 children just past 12, who were transferred £rom the Children's Room to the Adult Department. 200 of those recorded as borrowers last year have either moved away, or died, mak- lng a net gain of 208, with a total registration of 2,859 readers. Book Collection 527 volumes were added to the shelves. For the first time in the history of the Library more books were with- drawn than were added, since 610 volumes were discarded because they were worn out or of no further use, and 60 were lost. Those that were discarded were either worn to shreds, or were of no value. A number of them had been in the lower stack for years and had never been called for by the public within that time. The space on the shelves was more valuable than those books. 50 were missing at the time of the annual inventory. The rest were lost by bor- rowers. The total number withdrawn was 670, the number added was 527, making a net loss of 143, with a total col- lection at present of 18,596 volumes. 3,266 were repaired in the Library. 329 were rebound at the bindery. The wear and tear on the books has been tremendous. Since the circulation has been so much larger, and our pros- pects of replacement so much dimmer, we have tried to keep them on the shelves as long as there has been anything left of them at all. I am afraid that the Health Department would condemn some of them as too dirty to be used. Our children's books have had the worst of it, for we have bought practically none. The children are usually not so careful of books as their elders, and the consequence is that 100 ANNUAL REPORT the books in our Children's Room are sorry sights. At pres- ent the Receiving Room (downstairs) is literally piled up with books that should go to the bindery and cannot be circulated until they do go, without danger of losing a page, which would render the book almost useless. We have re~ paired more books here than ever before, but the treatment that we can give them here is, after all, only temporary. 168 books were received as gifts. We are very grateful to all who have given books. Many people have been very generous. We hope that others who have books that they can spare will help serve the community by giving them to the Library. Besides the usual State publications that we re- ceive, we have also had gifts of books or magazines from the following people: Mr. and Mrs. Ho]lis R. Bailey, Edwin Emerson, Alvah G. Hayes, Houghton Mifflin Company, Mrs. William Howes, Frank G. Jannaway, Mrs. Margaret Kane, Mrs. Angelina Kelley, Mrs. Joseph Kittredge, Stanley W. Lurid, Branch 212 National Association of Letter Carriers, National Sculpture Society, Isabel H. Reynolds, Samuel F. Rockwell, Joan Russell, Annie L. Sargent, Moses T. Stevens, Mrs. Nathaniel Stevens, Henry J. Stevenson, Mrs. H. S. Stillings, Mrs. John F. Tyler, Mrs. Henry A. Webster, Philip and Robert Young. Library Reading Club The Library Reading Club, made up of girls from the fifth to eighth grades, has continued to meet throughout the school year. Mrs. Louis A. Whitchurch has come to the Club to tell stores. The Club observed Book Week, from November 14-19, by the presentation of two plays, "The Prickly Prince," which was first given by the Club two years ago, and a scene from Louisa M. Alcott's "Litt!e Women." As November was the hundredth anniversary of Miss Alcott's birth, the presentation of a scene from her most popular book seemed timely. These plays were given in the Hall before a crowd which packed the room as tightly as it could be packed. TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 101 Overdue Book Week During the week of October 3-8, the Library observed an "overdue book week," for the purpose of getting back some of our missing and long overdue books. No fines were charged on any books returned during the week, but a few of those who brought their books back insisted on paying the fine on them. 128 overdue books and 3 magazines were returned. Although it did not bring in as many books as we had hoped, it- did bring a large number of people to the Library, since we issued much publicity at the time. Fines were cancelled to the amount of $19.00. Exhibit of Foreign Dolls We are very grateful to the Tuesday Sorosis of Law- ~'ence and to its President, Mrs. Henry A. Webster of North Andover, who arranged for us to have an exhibit of 57 dolls from foreign lands, in Library Hail, during the first week in November. We are also grateful to Mr. S. F. Rockwell of the Davis & Furber Machine Company, who loaned us a Show Case in which to display the dolls. The exhibit was most popular. Two teachers from the Union School brought their entire grades; several teachers sent their pupils indi- vidually and we even had visitors from Reading who knew of the exhibit. Lessons on the Use of the Library Lessons in the use of the Card Catalog, the arrange- ment of the books on the shelves, and proper care of books, were given at the Library, to all the pupils in the eighth grades of the public schools during last February. Then each section was given three practical problems to solve and hand in to the librarian. These papers were graded and returned to each child, taking the place of an English as- signment. Considerable enthusiasm was shown, and it has helped the children to help themselves when they come to the library. In March, similar lessons were given to the Freshmen at Johnson High School.. However, they had also a little lesson in the use of simple reference tools. Their ANNUAL REPORT problems were harder and they had five to solve instea~l o£ three. Other Activities At the request of Rev. Clinton W. CarveIl, of the Trin- itarian Congregational Church, special shelves have been set aside in the Reference Room for books on the Church Reading List, sponsored by the Religious Education Com- mittee and Department of Woman's Work of the Mass. Congregational Conference and Missionary Society. We also have lists of these books that may be consulted. An attempt has been made to secure all books of non- fiction which our readers request. It is impossible to buy many of them, but we have been very fortunate in being able to borrow most of them from our neighboring libraries. Libraries that have loaned books to us include Memorial Hall Library, Andover; Boston Public Library; Haverhill Public Library; Lowell Public Library; Massachusetts Divi- sion of Public Libraries; Massachusetts Horticultural So- ciety Library; Massachusetts Institute of Technology Li- brary; Massachusetts State Library; and Somerville Public Library. The Lawrence Public Library has supplied some of our borrowers with needed books. A talk on "Only Yesterday" by Frederick Lewis Allen and "Puritan's Progress" by Arthur Train was given by the Librarian at the Unitarian 'Church before the Young People's Society. The spirit of the assistants and the janitor has been remarkable during the year. I feel that a special message of appreciation is due the assistant-librarian. Respectfully submitted, MARION F.

TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 105 REPORT of the Committee appointed by the Moderator at the Last Annual Town Meeting to consider the replacement of a new Ladder Truck in place of the one now in use. The Committee are unanimous in advocating the pur- chase of a new Truck, as they consider the present one un- safe. It has broken down a number of times in the last three years when responding to Fire Alarms, and the Committee feels that the Town has been very fortunate in not having an accident happen to the men riding on the running board, when the Truck broke down. The bil]s on the machine for the last three years has cost the Town, as figures submitted by the Chief of the Department in the neighborhood of $900.00 (Nine Hundred Dollars). The Committee has had the advice of a number of Company experts who make Fire Trucks, and they all say the present Truck is too light for the load that it is now carrying, and should be replaced by a stroflger and more up to date machine. After giving this matter much consideration and thought, the Committee has had an article put in this year's Town Warrant for the voters to consider and act upon. Respectfully submitted, D. J.

Realizing that in order for the town to function in so far as the borrowing Of money is concerned, and mindful of the fact that if pos- sible taxes must be reduced, they have decided on this bud- get as presented. Taking all these things into considera- tion, a ten per cent reduction has been made in all expenses. In reference to salaries and wages, including officials, they have recommended that a ten per cent reduction be made as of April 1, 1933, feeling that as most officials and employees have received their compensation up to the time of Town Meeting it would not be fair to take away money that has already been given. It should be remembered that the Welfare Appropri- ation asked for is the same amount as spent in 1932, which is $9,800.00 more than was appropriated at the Annual Town Meeting. Likewise the Old Age Assistance Appro- priation asked for is $13,520.00 against $10,000.00 appro- priated at the Annual Town Meeting. A similar condition exists in the State and Military Aid and Soldiers' Relief ap- propriation, whereby the figure is doubled, from $2,000.00 to $4,000.00. It should also be noted that the amount of $33,000.00 raised in 1932 under the item of State and County Taxes has been omitted upon the advice of the State Auditors. This sum will be raised by the Assessors when they are making their levy at which time an exact figure will be known. In reference to the School Department Appropriation it is expected that an amount totaling $7,795.00 will be turned back to the Town by that Department. An article appearing in the warrant, if accepted at the Town Meeting, will make such a gift possible. ANNUAL REPORT If the recommendations of the finance committee are accepted there will be a reduction of $15,065.37 under last year's appropriation.

Rules, l~eguIations and Water Rates All meter rates shall be computed quarterly; in case of a meter stopping or failing to register, the quantity of water used shall be estimated as the amount which ordi- narily passes through the meter when in operation. Bills for metered water shall be rendered quarterly on the first day of January, April, July and October for the amount of water used during the previous quarter, based on the fol- lowing sliding scale: For 1st. 2,000 cu. ft., 20 cehts per 100 cu. ft. All over 2,000 cu. ft., 12 cents per 100 cu. ft. Ali meters read in cubic feet. A cubic is computed as seven and one-half gallons. No service shall pay less than $1.50 per quarter. TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 121 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 witlvin 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 ya-inch meters and a suitable increase for larger sizes. Consumers at their optton 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 122 ANNUAL REPORT 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 of~ce 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 w~thin 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 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. 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 fight to restrict the use of hose or fountains or to shut off the water TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 123 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 shall open any hydrant of the water works system of the Town, without written permission 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 case of fire.

Nine six- ~nch gate valves and three new hydrants were installed. The water system now comprises fifty-one and five hun- dredths miles of main pipe, two twelve-inch check valves, nne fourteen-inch gate, nineteen twelve-inch, twelve ten- inch gates, fifty-nine eight-inch gates, three hundred and seventy-six six-inch gates and three hundred and five public fire hydrants. The new water main extensions were as follows: Tav- ern Road northeasterly from Bradstree~ Road to Main Street, three hundred and seventy-six feet of six-inch pipe and one six-inch gate; Buckingham Road, southerly from the previous terminus of the water main to Herrick Road two hundred and seven feet of six-inch pipe and one six- inch gate; Irving Road, southerly from the previous ter- minus of the water main to Perley Road two hundred and forty-seven feet of six-inch pipe and one six-inch gate; Harold Street, westerly from the previous terminus of the water main to Beverly Street two hundred and seventy-one feet of six-inch pipe, two six-inch gates and one hydrant; Garden Street, twenty-four feet six-inch pipe, one six-inch gate and one hydrant; Dudley Street, seven feet of six-inch pipe, one six-inch gate and one hydrant. One six-inch gate was placed on a hydrant branch on Winter Street and one on Church Street. There were installed during the year 1932 eleven new services and thirty services were renewed. A continuation of the policy of testing, cleaning and repairing all meters that have been in use over five years resulted in 235 meters being so inspected. A further in- crease in the percentage of water metered is showing the benefit of such inspections. There were forty-seven meters removed and repaired because they were found to be in- operative, sixteen because they were broken by frost or other causes and eight were removed for all other causes. The policy of thorough hydrant inspection recently started was continued. A card system recording the con- dition of the drip, gate and valve of each hydrant is kept of the semi-annual inspections of all hydrants. Defects ANNUAL REPORT are corrected and hydrants subject to freezing because of poor drainage conditions are frequently inspected in cold weather. Ungated hydrants were again painted red and yellow and those with gates were painted black and yellow. A policy of yearly gate valve inspection and a careI system recording the condition of each valve box and valve itself and when it was operated was inaugurated in 1932. The hydrant inspection records and gate valve inspectio~ records have been recommended in the pas~ by the New England Insurance Exchange. All piping in the basement of the Pumping Station was scraped and painted with red lead to stop the external cor- rosion. The boiler instaIled in 1928 was covered with sev- eral inches of 85 per cent magnesia insulating cement, while the older boiler required a much lighter coating. The "Korite" boiler water treatment ~s removing the old scale and preventing the formation of new scale. Both the addi- tional cover[ng and the boiler treatment are reflected in the more efficient operation of the boilers. The rotted columns at the main entrance to the Station were replaced and the whole porch given necessary repairs. The Grinnell air valve on the sprinkler system was repaired and pipes placed from the air chamber in the newer pump so that sufficient air pressure may always be had on the above air and water valve. Both pumps were thoroughly cleaned and given a coat of paint. The scales in the boiler room for weighing the coal as used were found to be underweighing by the Sealer of Weights and Measures and they were accordingly repaired by Fairbanks, Morse and Company. Through the co-operation of the Highway Surveyor the road from Great Pond Road to the Station was scraped and gutters formed to the already existing catch basins. The road was then given a coating of tar. Seventy-nine boats were registered for use on Lake Cochichewick and one hundred and seventy- nine persons were given permits to boat and fish there. Weston and Sampson, Consulting Engineers of Boston after making careful study recommended copper service pipe for use on services and this pipe has been made the standard service pipe for the Department. An electrolysis survey was made in conjunction with an electrical engineer and as a result at our request the Eastern Massachusetts Street Railway Company joined the Salem Line and the North Andover Line at Carney's Corner with a suitable bond wire. Over fifty services which were no longer in use and had been shut off only at the curb stop were shut off TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 129 at the main so that all danger of leaks from them is def- initely removed. The reservoir was thoroughly cleaned in September and a new large cast bronze strainer purchased to replace the small sheet copper one on the intake. The telemeter wires were cleared of overhanging branches on Chestnut, Andover and Great Pond Road and new brackets placed where required. There were 37 services cleared, 76 service leaks, 4 joint leaks and one broken hydrant repaired during the year. In following out a definite construction program in or- der that the system may be strengthened and improved so as to meet any anticipated requirements in the future it should be recommended: 1. A new 12-inch main feeder line be laid from the res- ervoir to the downtown section via Chestnut Street, Hill- side Road, Turnpike Street, and Railroad Avenue. 2. The capacity of the reservoir be increased 500,000 gallons. 3. The original wooden coal bin at the Pumping Sta- tion be replaced with a larger bin of permanent construction. For 1933 it should be recmnmended that the following minor extensions and improvements be made to the system. 1. Connect the 8-inch mains from Middlesex Street and from Railroad Avenue on Herrick Road. 2. Connect the 6-inch main on Marbleridge Road at Salem Street with the main at the residence of Albert Fish and, 3. Connect the 6-inch mains on Turnpike Street from near Hillside Road to Chestnut Street so that the whole town south of the Reservoir is not dependent on a single six-inch line for fire protection. 4. Connect the following dead ends in the downtown area: (a) Six-inch main on Buckingham Road with main o~n Middlesex Street. (b) Six-inch main on Perley Road with main on High Street. (c) Six-inch main on Columbia Road with main on Perley Road. (d) Six-inch main on Wiley Street with main on Water Street. (f) Six-inch main on Concord Street with main on Osgood Street. 130 ANNUAL REPORT (g) Six-inch main on Troy Road with main on Thorndike Road. (h) Six-inch mains on Middlesex Street from Mil- ton Street to Lyman Street. 5. Raise, relocate, and place gates on several hydrants throughout the town and especially on the heavily traveled ways :--Sutton, Main and Middlesex Streets. 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; khe 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 Avenue, Middlesex, and Water Streets with the trunk sew- ers in Railroad Avenue, Water Street, and Main Street to the Merrimack River. There are fourteen and sixty-two hundredths miles of sewers in the North Andover Sewerage System with over two hundred and fifty manholes. There are nine hundred and eighty-three particular sewers connected with the main sewers. The main sewers are listed according to size as follows: Size of Sewers (Inches) 24 18 15 12 10 8 6 Length of Sewers (Feet) 4423 7498 1065 3294 6647 13562 40706 The Sewer Department during the year 1932 laid three hundred and eighty-eight ft. of six-inch sewer as follows: Edmands Road southeasterly from Herrick Road two hundred and sixty-nine feet of six-inch sewer and one man- hole. Chapin Road easterly from the previous terminus of the sewer one hundred and nineteen feet of six-inch sewer and one manhole. A total of six connections, totaling two hundred and nine~ty-two feet were made between buildings and the main sewers. The entire sewerage system was flushed during March. Fifteen particular sewers were cleared during the year. Six old particular sewers which had become filled with tree TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 131 roots were relaid with Puroseal jointing compound which eliminates further entry of roots. Two manholes on the East Side Trunk Sewer and nine others in the Central Drainage Area were raised to the grade of the highways. The East Side Trunk Sewer was frequently inspected and in November considerable neces- sary backfilling of the old ditch was done. It should be recommended that a 15-inch sewer be built on Osgood Street from the manhole at the bridge over Cochichewick Brook to Stevens Corner in order that Pleas- ant, Court, Osgood, and Park Streets be sewered directly and that Main Street, Beacon Hill Boulevard, Bay State, Phillips Brooks, and Academy Roads be subsequently added to the Sewerage System. Further extension of the sewerage system in the West Side Drainage Area must await the extension of the West Side Trunk Sewer from Massachusetts Avenue southerly along the Shawsheen River. Few extensions in the Central Drainage Area remain to be made. Park Department The Center Common, Training Grounds, Memorial Park, Historical Society Plot and Triangles have been main- tained as usual. Through the generosity and civic spirit of the Village Improvement Society three splendid beds of Rhododendrons, Azaleas and other shrubs were set out around the Phillips Brook Statue where they provide a beautiful setting for it. Dead limbs were removed from all trees and several trees crowded together on the line between Common and the Village Improvement Society Plot were thinned out. The Park Department assisted the school children in planting a maple tree with a suitable marker as a Washington Bi- centennial Tree. A ton of tree food was used on the elm trees along Andover Street in order to bring them to a healthy, vigorous growth again. A great deal of work was done on the Training Ground in thinning out and trimming the two groves of trees on the plot. The North Andover Garden Club took an active interest in the work and aided in making this historic place a beauty spot. All the old shrubs were removed, loam added and the plots regraded on the triangles at Osgood Street, Boxford Road, Bradford Street and Great Pond Road, and at Dale 132 ANNUAL REPORT and Salem Streets. Again the Village Improvement Society generously provided suitable shrubs for the above four triangles. Due to the drastic cut in the Park Department appro- priation no shrubs could be purchased and the period o~ work had to be curtailed earlier than usual. But for the splendid co-operation of the Village Improvement Society the usual program o£ shrub replacement and new plantings would have been entirely omitted. It should be recommended that sufficient funds be pro- vided to replace the old traiiic menacing shrubs on the other triangles and to maintain the Parks so that the improve- ments made in past years will not be lost.

CHARLES A. APPLETON, Chairman, CHARLES T. WILDE, ANNIE L. SARGENT. TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 139 SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS REPORT January 10, 1933. To the School Committee of North Andover: The following I hereby respectfully submit to you as my sixth annual report. Miss Sargent Retires After 54 Years of Service After 54 years of service on the teaching staff of John- so~ High School, Miss A~mie L. Sargent retired from the principalship because of having reached the compulsory re- tirement age. In 1878 when the total enrollment of Johnson High was 30 pupils, Miss Sargent became an assistant teacher there at an annual salary of $200. In 1903 she became assistant principal, associate principal in 1905 and in 1922 she was elected principal. Three generations have known her as their teacher, and the ending of her principalship was not only a most impor- tant event in the history of Johnson, but it was an occasion that caused those generations and the rest of the com- munity to recall with gratitude the splendid influence and service that she had rendered them either individually or collectively during those many years. Sub-Master Alvah G. Hayes Promoted to High School Principalship Mr. Alvah G. Hayes, who for nine years had been in- structor of mathematics and coach of athletics at Johnson High School, was selccted by the School Committee to suc- ceed Miss Annie L. Sargent as principal of the high school. Mr. Hayes was born in Hollis, Me., completed his work at Taunton High School, Taunton, Mass., in June, 1918. In June, 1923 he graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, receiving the degree of Bachelor of Science. During the years of 1929, 1930 and 1931 he took part time courses at Boston University School of Education, all of which work was closely related to the problems of high school administration. Your attention is invited to his re- port which follows this report. ANNUAL REPORT Does More Education Make Less Crime? Last year Warden Lewis E. Lawes repeatedly told the public in most vigorous terms that education tends to pre- vent crime, and that most criminals come [rom among the people that have not attended high school. He stated that 66% o£ the prisoners of Sing Sing Prison have not entered high school. Education tends to reduce crime. The tendency of education to reduce crime is greatly neutralized by such factors as moving pictures, automobiles, availability of firearms, unemployment, decreased home life, mobility of the population, etc. With those factors continuing their undesirable influences, to cripple education would surely result in an increase in crime. How Do Crime Costs Compare With School Costs? In 1931 the National Commission on Law Enforcement and Observation appointed by President Hoover stated that the actual outlay in the United States per year for controll- lng and preventing crime totals $1,509,000,000. North dover's proportion of that would be $80,000, and that com- pares as follows with our annual appropriation for schools: North Andover for Crime $80,000 North Andover Schools $106,178 Many believe with Warden La~ves that an increase in school costs would cause a decrease in crime costs. In 1931 Mass. had 3,281 persons in penal institutions at an average cost per inmate of $474, while the average cost of keeping a pupil in school a year was only $100. Person in penal institution- $474 Cost to keep in school - $100 The total crime costs include costs of criminal courts, penal institutions, detective service, burglar insurance, prop- erty loss or damage, etc. 1933 Budget 16% Below 1931 Expenditures The School Department expended in 1931 $119,329, in 1932 they expended $109,178 and the net budget for 1933 is $99,350, a decrease of $19,979 or 16% in two years. The budget for 1933 calls for an appropriation of $107,145, of which about $7,795 would be returned to the town by the teachers and other employees of the School Department as a voluntary salary reduction of 6% from January i to April I and of 10% from April to December. TOWN OF NORTH ANDOYER, MASS. 14l Appropriation recommended for 1933 $107,145 6% of salaries returned Jan. I to April 1 $1,547 10% of salaries returned April I to Dec. 6,248 $ 7,795 Net budget for 1933 $ 99,350 This gives a net budget that is 9 % lower than appropriation of $109,244. Expenditures 1931 Expenditures 1932 Net Budget 1933 the 1932 $119,329 $109,178 $ 99,350 Article 10 in the warrant for the annual meeting is so worded that favorable action upon it would make the above mentioned $7,795 legally available to the Town Treasurer for use in applying toward the appropriations of the De- partment of Public Welfare in place of an equal amount of tax raised money. The tax rate would thereby be decreased nearly $1. This method of procedure has received the ap- proval of the State Director of Accounts, Theodore N. Wardell. 1933 Net Local School Costs To Be Lowest Of Ten Years In 1931 the School Department expended $119,329, but credits were received that totaled $13,817, leaving a balance of $105,512 to be paid by local taxation. In 1932 the total expenditures were $109,178 with credits of $10,582.03, leav- ing a balance of $98,596.63 to be paid from local taxation. The appropriation recommended for 1933 is $107,145, with an estimated credit o£ $7,795 in percents of salaries turned by teachers and other employees of the School De- partment and the usual other credits estimated at $10,000, making total credits of $17,795, and leaving a balance $89,350 to be paid from local taxation. That will be a reduc- tion of $16,162 or 15% since 1931, and will be the lowest in ten years or since 1923. The net local tax cost of School Department expenditures for the three years would com- pare as follows: Net cost 1931 $105,512 Net cost 1932 $ 98,596 Estimated net cost 1933 $ 89,350 ANNUAL REPORT Teachers, Supervisory Staff and Janitors Volunteer 6 % Salary Reduction In December, 1932 the teachers, supervisory staff and janitors volunteered a 6% reduction in salary for 1933, the reduction to take the form of 6% collections monthly from their salaries, these collections to be returned to the town to be used in assisting the town to meet the appropriations of the welfare department. Beginning April 1, the budget calls for a change in the deduction from 6% to 10%. The School Committee voted to approve such collec- tions, except in cases where the collection would reduce the salary of an individual below $1,000 a year. The total of such collections in a year would amount to about $7,795 and would lower the net budget to $99,350 as shown in a preceding paragraph. The Mass. Legislative Recess on Finances in December recommended a 6% reduction in salaries of state employees and the recommendation was approved by Governor Ely. Teacher Retirement Allowances After Age of 65 or 70 The reason why teachers prefer to have any sa]aw reduction to be in the form of contributions as described in the preceding paragraph is that it is the only method of sal- ary reduction that w/ll not decrease the retirement allow- ances of the several teachers near the age of retirement. As required by law, teachers contribute each year to the state teachers' retirement fund a certain percentage of their salaries, and the amount of a teacher's retirement allowance is therefor greatly affected by the size of her salary and the length of her service. It is a very serious thing for a teacher who retires at the age of 65 and then lives for 20 years to receive a decreased income during all those 20 years because of a salary reduction received before her retirement. Lawrence teachers have stated that their recent sa]aw reductions would if continued five years reduce the annual allowance of a retiring elementary teacher about $200 a year. Local Teachers' Salaries Below Average of 72 Mass. ToWns In November, 1932, 72 of the $2 Mass. towns with populations over 5,000 and having high schools reported an average teacher salary of $1,570. At the same time the average salary in North Andover of the twelve high school teachers, ~hirty elementary teachers and principals TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, i~IASS. 143 and three special teachers was $1,543. After taking out the 6% voluntary salary reduction the North Andover av- erage in January, 1933 is $1,457, and in April the proposed 10% reduction would bring the average down to $1,395. 72 Mass. Towns, Nov., 1932 $1,570 North Andover, Nov., 1932 $1,543 North Andover, Jan., 1933 $1,457 North Andover, April, 1933 $1,395 Is This Economic Depression A Temporary Condition? An overwhelming majority of economists and states- man believe the present depression to be a very temporary condition. A decided maj.ority feel that the low point was reached in 1932 and that improvement is already under- way. Many feel that the improvement is likely to become very rapid. That the depression is believed to be temporary is a fact that should be borne in mind when determining school policies. To greatly weaken the organization of a school system that has been slowly developed over a long period Of years and with great difficulty would be extremely short sighted if that weakening was done merely because of a temporary situation. This depression is believed to be temporary and, therefor neither the teaching staff nor the curriculum should be crippled because of it. Statesman Say Depression Should Not Injure Schools Presidential candidates, governors in their inaugural addresses, and many other statesman have been emphasiz- ing the fact that that governmental economy moves must not curtail education. During the second week of January, 1933, President Hoover called a special conference on the Crisis in Education. To it he called leaders from various professions and industrial groups. President Hoover in his opening address of the Conference said that "in the rigid governmental economies that are requisite everywhere, we must not encroach upon the schools or reduce the oppor- tunity of the child through the school to develop adequate citizenship." Continuing he said, "There is no safety for our Repub- Itc without the education of our youth. That is the first charge upon all citizens and local government." ANNUAL REPORT Our School Costs Continue To Rank About Average For Towns Of This Size The school cost figures for the year 1931 (the latest available) as published by the State Department of Edu- cation are given be]ow. Included are the 17 towns with a population of 6,500 to 7,500, and the nearby town of An- dover. 1932 Tax Rate 1931 Valuation Per Pupil Dracu~ $50 00 Barnstable $15,086 Grafton 42 80 Andover 12,248 Maynard 41 40 Hingham 12,212 North Andover 37 00 Walpole 9,554 Concord 36 80 Concord 7,844 Ware 35 80 So.

The average cost per pupil for school support in the State for 1931 was $100.38. Rapid Growth of High School Increases Teachers' Load 100 % In 1919 there was the equivalent of 51/2 teachers at Johnson High School for the 75 pupils, or 14 pupils per teacher. Now there is an equivalent of 12~/z teachers for over 350 pupils, or 28 pupils per teacher, an increase in pu- pils per teacher of 100%. Pupil per teacher 1919 14 Pupils per teacher 1933 28 Lengthening of High School Day Increases Teachers Day 10 % For several years class periods at the high school have extended from 8:30 to~ 11:30 A. M. and from 12:00 to ~:30 P. M., making the total time for class periods 41/2 hours. Beginning in September, 1932, the class periods extend from 8:29 to 11:25 A. M. and from 11:49 A. M. to 2:00 P. M., making a total time for class periods 5 hours, 146 ANNUAL REPORT 5 minutes. This is an increase of about 10% in the school day. 1932 Welfare Work By Teachers and Other Employees of School Department Of the total contributions received by the Town Un- employment Committee during 1932 about $516 or over 29% were received from employees of the School Depart- ment. At Christmas time the teachers and janitors contrib- uted $61.24 as a fund with which was purchased food for 15 baskets of groceries to be distributed in town and milk furnished for a month to a few families. There is a special welfare committee among the teach- ers for the purpose of soliciting through the teachers money and supplies in order to provide footwear and clothing for needy pupils. The teachers have voted to contribute monthly to the Town Unemployment Committee during the present winter 1% of their salary. New Social Arts Curriculum Prepares Both for Citizenship and College In order to meet the needs of the great variety of types of pupils that now attend high school, the subjects in the high school were rearranged into a new four-year Social Arts Curriculum. That curriculum gives the graduate a broad civic, scientific, and cultural preparation for a life of active, intelligent citizenship, and if the proper electives are chosen, it prepares the graduate to meet the entrance subject requirements of 43 New England colleges. The Social Arts Curriculum includes work in civics, U. S. history, political science, sociology, economics, and problems of international relations. Modern School Achievement Tests Given in Grades II to VIII In May and June, 1932 the Modern School Standard Achivement Tests were given to all pupils in grades II to VIII. 470 of the 808 pupils or 59% scored higher than the median stan~dards for their ages, and 352 or 44% scored above the median standards for their grades. In general the pupils tended to score highest in reading, spelling, and English and lowest in arithmetic, civics and elementary science. TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. 147 School Committee Recommends Pond School Be Sold In June, 1929 the Pond School was closed with the ap- proval of the pupils' parents and since then the pupils have been transported by bus to the village schools. During 1929 the total enrollment was 14 pupils and the buildings were in poor condition. The building is now occasionally broken into and damaged and repair expense thereby cre- ated. The School Committee now recommends that the town dispose of the property. Summary of Report of Music Supervisor Miss Flora L. Richmond, Music Supervisor, reports that the school year was begun with the music equipment so nearly complete and in such good condition that satisfac- tion and progress followed naturally. In May the Johnson High School Glee Club and Orchestra gave a complimentary concert to a large audience of parents and friends. Though eight of the orchestra and many of the glee clnb graduated in June, the work of those groups is going on successfully. On the Monday preceding Christmas all elementary grades above the fourth met in Stevens' Hall with the High School Glee Club and Orchestra. The hours' program was varied by instrumental and vocal solos. All pupils sang from memory a dozen of the best-loved Christmas carols, some of which had three or four stanzas. The Music Appreciation Contest which took place in June was won by Grade VII of the Bradstreet School, taught by Miss Gladys C. Sullivan. In the music appreciation course twenty selections are studied each year in grades VI, VII and VIII, of which the following are samples: Wil- liam Tell Overture by l~ossini, Marche Slave by Tschaikow- sky, Fourth Symphony in F Minor by Tschaikowsky, Sur- prise Symphony by Hayden, Toy Symphony by Hayden, Hungarian Dance No. 5, by Brahms, Spring Song by Men- delssohn. During his years in those grades a pupil studies sixty such musical selections, adding thereby a substantial amount of cultural music to his general background of culture. We acknowledge with gratitude the gift of a Victrola and many beautiful records from Mr. and Mrs. Louis P. Saunders and of a Victrola from Mrs. George D. Neville. Summary of the Report of the Art Supervisor The following is a summary of the report of Miss Olive Butler, Art Supervisor: 148 ANNUAL REPORT "More than twenty centuries ago Aristotle, speaking of education, said that education was an ornament in pros- perity, a refuge in adversity, a viaticum (travel allowance) in old age. The richness of meaning that we can read into that statement is the result of twenty centuries of educa- tional effort. The purpose of teaching Art in the elementary school is ~o provide a joyful outlook on life through the discovery, recognition and appreciation of the beautiful in nature and art. It also develops good taste in the individual and in the community. It develops youthful artistic talent by special training in order that there will be ability to produce in the service of society. President Hoover points out that during this period of depression our schools have become paramount in impor- tance. Children fill the schools because of lack of employ- ment. Here lies a great opportunity for teachers: not only for the emphasizing of the three R's as essential to the most rudimentary education, but for the realization that appre- ciation of Art can be as useful and can add as much to the fullness of living as many of the so-called practical subjects. The child may not be able to draw, paint, model or sign, but he should be able to recognize and enjoy beauty and to hate ugliness, thereby adding to the sum total of popular taste." With a deep appreciation by me of the sympathetic assistance and co-operation I have continued to receive from you and my co-workers, this is Respectfully submitted, FRED E. PITKIN, Superintendent of Schools. TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. '149 IN MEMORIAM Dr. Fred S. Smith (Courtesy Eagle-Tribune) Dr. Fred S. Smith was elected a member of the School Committee in March, 1897, and in April, 1913 he was ap- pointed School Physician and in both offices his service has been continuous since his original election to the date of his death, November 2, 1932, a period of thirty-five years. The service he rendered was highly hm~orable, very capable and always tinged with kindness. His death is a great loss to the community. ANNUAL ~E?ORT REPORT OF JOHNSON HIGH SCHOOL To the Superintendent of Schools: I submit to you the following as my first annual report. Our school continues to grow. Last June we again found it impossible to have the entire school participate in our graduation exercises. The graduating class was one of the largest in the history of the school, and the school as a whole was well over the 300 mark. With the reopening of schools in September we found an enrollment of 370, an increase of 30 over the previous year. This number we are caring for in a building erected to provide for 280 pupils. It is needless to say that rooms are being used to capacity and at the present rate of growth, relief must be provided in the near future. We have been fortunate again, as in past years, in having only few changes in our teaching staff. However, one change was of major importance. It was with deep regret that the teachers and pupils learned of Miss Annie L. Sargent's resignation after 54 years of continuous serv- ice in our high school. I know the people of North Andover will join me in wishing her continued good health and em joyment of all that is fine in life. One other change has been made in our staff. Mr. Walter R. Mitchell, a graduate of the University of New Hampshire, has been added to our mathematics department and is now in charge of our boys' athletic program. In both departments Mr. Mitchell is proving very efficient. In keeping with modern educational trends, our cur- riculum has been reorganized in the commercial department. Our system of stenography has been changed from Pitman to Gregg. We are fortunate ~n having in our commercial department teachers capable of instructing in either sys- tern. One other change in this department decreased the number of years of bookkeeping from three to two. This we consider advisable because of the increasing use mechanical devices in our industrial offices. Carrying out the theory of education of the pupil to meet the needs of adult life we have added a course in Social Science for sec- ond year pupils in addition to a third year of Domestic Arts for girls. TOWN OF NORTH ANDOVER, MASS. This year our school day has been lengthened b'y one 7half hour. Through this increase the number of periods per day has been increased by one. There were several -reasons for wishing an additional period a day but one alone will justify the wisdom of the decision. Without an increase in recitation periods, it would have been impos- sible for the present staff to handle the increased enroll- ment. Various student clubs have been organized this year and student assemblies are conducted at frequent inter- vals. These activities are conducted with the aim of devel- oping initiative and responsibility in the pupil. This year our school library has been remodeled and several reJ~erence books have been added to our shelves. These are proving of great value to our pupils in their vari- ous studies. Reports from colleges to which our pupils have gone continue to show that this school is giving a solid founda- tion upon which the individual may build as his educational desires dictate. This year we have two boys in college as a result of competition scholarship awards. There is great need in the school for a fund, the interest of which could be used to assist promising and deserving pupils in their search for further knowledge. This has been brought forcibly to my attention in the last two years, during which time some of our most promising graduates have been un- able ko continue their education because of financial reasons. Our girls' athletics have again been capably handled by Miss Colburn and Miss Kelly of our faculty. Our schoo! paper has continued to prosper under the efficient direc- tion of Miss Edith Pierce. This report would hardly be complete without acknowl- edgment by me, of the splendid spirit of co-operation and assistance rendered me by every member of our faculty, by the school committee and by you, Mr. Superintendent. It is an extreme pleasure to work in such surroundings. Respectfully submitted, ALVAYI G.
