Report of School Committee. fib the Citizens of _Sbrth A~doeer :- The School Committee herewith submit to you flmir re- port for the year 1892-93. The financia] statement as prepared by Miss Carletou the Sccretary of thc Committee, is made as plain as possible that all may see at a glance what has been done with /~hc money entrusted to our care during the past year. SCHOOL HOUSES. The repairs upon our school buildings are necessarily large as all but two of them are wooden structures. The one at thc centre was very shabbily built and has al- ways b:en the source of great expense to the town. The heating apparatus o£tbis bttilding is very deficient. We ask for money to hea~ the building and at the same time ~'entilate it so that warmth and good air may be secured at all times. We had to expend ncarly $100 in order to re- [,air the furnace for winter use. We recommend that uew flom's be laid in the Merrimac building. The floors are worn, warped and shrunken, so thai it is impossible to keep the rooms in a proper coudition. We advise that new floors be pu~ into the lower rooms this NORTH ANDOYER. year, during the sunnner vacation, dud the upper rooms eau be repaired next yeai'. The estimated cxpeusc of good kith dried maple floors is $400. HIGH SCHOOL. We were obliged, very much against our wishes, to again look for a new principal for this school. In a school of this size these frequent changes are inevit- able. We have been remarkably fortunate in the pa~t in secur- tug good and efficient; masters and we believe our good fortune has not forsaken us. Its teachers are admi,'ably qualified for their work, and are auxious to keep tile school up to a high standard of excel- lcnce. Miss Gertrude Il. Ellisou was the only graduate. At the annual examination, fourteen candidates were ad- mitted to the school.~ We hope to be able iu the uear future to admit graduates from our grammar schools to the High School without an extra examination. GRAMMAR~ INTERMEDIATE AND PRIMARY SCHOOLS. There have been several change of teachers during tile year. In tile Merri,nac School, Miss Laura M. Dunsmoor of Bradford, was elected as assistant to Ivlr. Smith, and hasbeen doing very good work. Generally speaking this school is iua satisfactory condi- tion. To say that we are perfectly satisfied with the work ANNUAL REPORT.--SCH00LS. 15 done in some of the intermediate grades, would not be true and we hope to make some changes, that in our judgment are needed. Our primary scho~l~ are in an e~cellea~ coaditiou, and we fail to see where e[:ey cad be vm'y much improved. The Unloll, River, Pond, Ki~nball, and Farnham Schools: Iu these schools, espcciallythe last four, fi'¢qum~t chm~ge of teachers occurs, ks will be seen ia the list of teachers, since April 1892~ new ones have been appointed fl,r all except the River. We are sorry that we cannot adopt the plan of carrying the children from these small schools to centres where they could receive better advantages. Maoy towns bare adopted this system suceessfldly. If any school should lmmber less than fi~'e or six scholars we believe it would be our duty to make some such arrange- ment. ATTEN DANCE. The avet'ag'e attendance in all the ~chools taken together has increased during the last year as wili be seen by the tabular statement. "Some still seem to have the slovenly notion that school atteadance is a mere matter of convenieuee to parcots and children and evidently do not realize the value of punctuality and method." TRUANCY. This evil has seemed to be on the increase during the past year in the Mcrrimac, Union and Bradstreet school. We think teachers should use good judgement in sendiug the truant offaeer after absentees. 16 NORTH ANDOVER. The real truant is know not only to the teacher but to the committee and officers as well. If complaints come to us this year we shall put the proper officer on thc track of th5 transgressors. DRAWING. We asked last year for an appropriatioa of ,~tqO0 to enable us to secure a compeient teacher for this branch of'school work. We thought be~,t not to cng'age a teacher till the commence- ment of the Fall term at which time Miss Harriet D. Condon a gradaate of the Normal Art school and a teacher of' some experience, took charge of this department. We believe it is necessary to have a competent drawing teacher and shalI therefore ask for an appropriatiou ~o defray the expenses o1' the same. CARDS. "Since the beginning of the Fall term monthly-report cards have been used in thc upper classes of the grammar and mixed schools. These cards are seut to tho parents at the end of each month, showing the rank of the pupils in all the 'studies pursued~ the uumber of absen~ and tardy marks and deportment. Their stimulating effect upon the pupils seems apparent in their iucreased anxiety to reach a higher degree of excellence, and in theh' willingness to do extra work to attain it. By carefully inspecting these eards from month to month parents m%v kaow whether the quality of the work doae by their ehildrea is such as to entitle ~hem to promotion when the proper time shall come." ANNUAL REPORT.--SCHOOLS. t7 PLAY GROUNDS. Agrccably tO the vote of the town, we negotiated with Mr. Ebeu Sutton for two lots of land at the rear of and adjoining Bradstreet lot. 'The vote of the town allowed us to pur- chase one hal£ acre, but as the lots were surveyed, the two lots ~xceeded that amount by a few feet. We believe it would be for the future benefit of thc town to buy the lot also, joining and facing Main Street, which would give a straigbt line ou the South East side of nearly 300 feet. The price of the rear lots is $746.38; that o~ tbe side lot $670. COURSE OF STUDY. We contemplate making some change in the present course of study as soon as su~cient time a/Id thought can bc given to thc subject. To prepare a course of studies in a manner which shall secure the best results in every particular, is a very difficult thing to do. Pres. Elliot says o~ Arithmetic, "the school subject most relied ou to train the reasoning faculty." From one sixth to one quarter or even ouc third of the whole school time of our children is given to the subject of Arithemetic, a subject which does not train a single one of the four faculties to develop which should be the fundameutal object of educa- tion. It bas uothing to do with observing'correctly, or recording accurately the results of observation~ or with collating facts and drawiug h-esh inference therefrom, or with expressing clearly aad forcibly logical tbougbt. In spite of the common impressiou that this study is a prat- NORTH ANDOVER. ic~l subject, it is of very limited application in commo~ life, except i~ its simplest elements." Now if some of the time that is devoted to Arithemetic even~ can be spent in learning something of natural science as botany, horticultur% forestry, entomology~ ornithology, etc, subjects that will encourage and stimulafe a love for county life, it will be a change in the right direction. ARBOR DAY. The Village Improvement Association have requested the committee to devise some plan for the proper observance of this day in accordance with the program i~sued by the State Board of education. We hope to be able to make some arrangement for the suitable observance of the same. The National Columbian Public School Celebration of October 21, 1892. The Committee did not require the teachers to adopt thc regular program; but advised them to conduct the exercises accord!ng to ibc resources of their schools. 5Iost of our schools had simple exercises from 9 till 11 a. m, and the afternoon was made a holiday. REMARKS. As has been well said: "If it is worth while to found and equip a school or a sys- tem of schools~it is certainly of no less moment that teachers be effectively trained to give instruction in those schools." The day has passed when a graduate of our High School ANNUAL REPORT.--SC]~00LS. 19 can expect to take a positicn as a teacher in our schools~ w~th- out special training for such work. We are surrounded by towns that are able to pay good wages to teachers and expect to have the best. ~,Ve also want the best. We want teachers who are in demand elsewhere and who are thoroughly trained for the business of teaching, and to secure such we must pay them fair wages. We realize that~ %o teach to perfection is as difficult per- haps as to live to perfection." We only ask of our teachers, that they make every effort in their power to impart knowledge according to the best methods, to get out of the ruts, to study the living pages they have under their care: and see that their scholars not only learn books, but tim ;;irtues of punctuality, obedience, order~ patience, cleanliness~ self-control and application.

Number of deaths from diphtheria, one; scarlet fever, one. Mr. A: L. Perkins was appoin';ed agent of tim Board. The Board had one thou- ANNUAL REPORT.--BOARD OF HEALTH. ~08 sand copies of tile Rules and Regulations printed and distrib- uted. Also posted as required by law. Fourteen houses were placarded. The agent fumigated all infected rooms in a thorough manner. ~o secondary cases occm'red. All wri~- ten complaints received by the Board have been investigated. Too much care cannot be exercised in preventing the spread of contagious and infectious diseases. We eaTnestly recom- mend tha~; the town construct a local sewerage system and introduce a public system of pure water supply. For tt~e present, an odorlcss wagon should be obtained, and a person employed to remove the contents of vaults and cesspools at the owner's expense. To show tl~e need of a public water supply and sewerage system, we print the following :-- WHY NORTH ANDOVER SHOULD HAVE A WATER SUPPLY AND SEWERAGE SYSTEM. An abstract of Dr. F.E. Weil's paper, read at fl~e spec ia towu meeting, held in North Andover, Dec. 28, 1892: "The matter of proper sewerage and pure water supply is of vital importance to every citizen. Upon the public health depends the l~ealth of each individual. Letus compare North Andover with the adjoining towns in regard to healfl~. In the tables presented, fl~e state's rank is 100, and whenever the population is giveu it is float of the mid-year (1880) of the period under consideration (1871-90). We nnd that North Andover has a general mortality rank of 84. and stauds fourth in comparisou wi61~ the adjoining towns, which would tend to show that our town enjoyed fairly good health. But to what diseases is our mortoality rank mainly due ? From the eight priucipal diseases, six give a mortality rank of only 56 2-8. The two remaining, typhoid fever and diphtheria, as every person knows, are closely related~ if not wholly depend- ~ORTH ANDOVER. cut upon bad drainage and polluted domestic water supply. North Audover's mortality rank from typhoid fever is 137. Andover's 58. In proportion to population we have 5 deaths frmn typhoid fever in North Andover to every 2 deaths from the same disease in Andover. Ac~;ually, Andover with a population of 5,169, had 30 deaths, while North Andover with a populatio~t of only 3,217, had 48 deaths. North And- over's mortality rank from diphtheria is 136. Andover's 66. In proportion to population, 2 deaths in No~h Andover, fo 1 in Andover. Actual uumber of deafl~s from diphtheria in Andover, 70. North Andovor, 90. Considering the Town having the highest mortality rauk from diphtheria as 1, North Andover has the unenviable rank of 18. Out of 344 cities and towns iu this state, 326 have a lower mortality rank from diphtheria than Sorth Andover. Holyoke is the only city in the state that has as high a mortality rank frown diphtheria. If we should include the year 1891, (during which in Octo- ber, November and December, we had 11 deaths from diph- theria) our mo~a.li~y rank from diphtheria would be over 150. * * * The average nmrtali~;y rank of i~ialden, Melrose and Medford. from typhoid fever is 60, ¢.North Andover 137) and from diphtheria 67, (North Andover 186). During the period in question, Melrose, (population 8,560) had 83 deaths £rom typhoid fever. Medford, (poputation 7,573), 45, and North Andover, (population 8,217) 48. From diphtheria, Melrose had 50 deathsi Medford sT, and North Andover 90. Certainly, if Malden, },~edford and Melrose need tt, e water of Lake Cochichewick, our need is twice as great. * * * * What has pure drinking water done to lower the death rate in ~his statc '.~ The number of public water supplies increased frown 20 in 1871 to 182 in 1691, and during ~;he last 5 years (1886-90) the death rate from typhoid fever was only one- half that of thc first 5-year period (1871-75). Bradford had ANNUAL REPORTf--BOARD OF HEALTH. 105 in 1889, 37 cases of contagious diseases; 1890, 25, and in 1891 only 13; sbowi~g the great beuefit derived from the troduction of pure water into that town. There is no reason why North Andover should not obtain the same good resul~ if we introduce a public water supply into our town. No one questions the purity of Lake Cochichcwick's water. Some' persons doubt if there is enougi~ to supply our town. If there is enough to supply Malden, Melrose and Medford, there is certainly enough for this town with less than one-seventh of their population. Gentlemen: ! have endeavored to show you thc urgen~ need o~ a pure water supply for this ~own, and the question is~ shall we continue as we are, subject to £requen~ snd fatal epidemics o£ contagious diseases, or shall we take steps ~o introduce a system of pure wa~er supply, lower our mortality rank, and place the town of North Andover where she be- longs, among the heMthies~ towns in the sta~e. The following communication, received by Selectman Greene, chairman of the Committee on Water Supply, is self- explanatory: OYF~CE 0r STATE BOARD OF HEALTH, 13 Beacon St., Boston, Jan. 16, 1893. To the Committee on Water Suffly e/the Tawn o/ Arorth Andover :- GENTLEMEN: The State Board of Health has consid- ered your application, dated Dec. 14, 1892, with regard to a proposed water supply for the town of North Andover, to be taken from Great Pond, within said town. The Board has caused examinations of the Pond and analy- sis of its water to be made, and finds that the water is of sat- isfactory quality for all the purposes of a public water supply, and that the quantity of water the Pond will furnish is many 106 ~;imes in excess of the quantity which will be required for ~he supply of the town. The Board is, there£ore, of the o~)inio~ that Great Pond in North A~dover is an appropriate source from which to take a water supply for the town. By order of thc Board, S. W. ABBOTT. FRANK A.

STATEMENT. No report having been presented by William F. Kelley, Collector for 1888, 1889 and 1800, the following statement is submitted as the result of a careful examination of his books May 1st, 1892, this being thc date of his resiguation: Whole amount committed to him for collec- tion for the three years, . $100,522 28 Amount collceted and paid Treasurer. $96,517 0'2 Amount remitted and rebated, 977 99 897,495 O1 Balance uncollected, $3,027 27 His receipts frmn the Treasurer, however, show that he had paid to him $96,(;42.80, or $125.78 in excess of the amount collected. This was, as he explains, to cover any possible errors which might be fouud. It appears, therefore, that there is due William F. K~elley, ever payment on taxes collected, ~125.78. GEORGE E.

Tl:e fact that the circulation has somewhat increased encourages tbe belief that the library is, at least, not losing iu popular- ity. It is to be regretted, however, that at the merely nomi. nal price at whleh tbe catalogues are sold they should not be found in every Ilome. _4.t the annual Town meeting held March 7, 1892, it was voted that the library be kept open three hours in the after- ANNUAL REPORT.--PUBLIC LIBBARY. 127 noou and two hours ill tile.evening, six days in the week; and $300.00 was added to the appropriation to meet the in- creased expense incident to this innovation. As there seemed to be very little demand from the reading public for more ample opportuoitics for the exchange of books, the library has been opened only on Wednesdays and Saturdays, as hereto- fore. A reading-room was established Nov. 1, 1892, which is open from 7 to 9 o'clock on every week-day evening, and in which are placed tile Boston and Lawrence dailies, several scientific, mechanical and other weeklies, and some of leading monthly magazines. The facilities thus afforded for obtaining information as to current events seem to be fully appreciated~ especially by the young: the Bumber availing themselves of the privileges of this roo~n being much greater than was expected. It is proposed to increase the number of periodicals for this department as occasion shall demand. It is also intended to place some of the more frequently eon- sulted reference books in this room, thus rendering more easily accessible to those who visit it. The magazines which have lately been in the library for circulation bare been withdrawn, and may be fonnd on the tables of the reading-room. Thanks are due to Rev. H. H. Leavitt and others who were associated with him in establishing anti maintaining a reading-room, for the preseBtation of tables and a large num- ber of'chairs for the new room. This gift materially]essened the expense of furnishing it. Also, tile library is under obli- gation to Hon. Moses T. Stevens for nume~-ous public docu- ments. By reference to the report o£ tke receipts and expeuditures, it will be seen that file cost of maintaining the library and reading-room and the receipts for the same are nearly 128 NORTH ANDOVE~ equal, the balance a~ the end o£ last year and tt~e present balance being respectively about $600.00. From this it appears ~hat lhe last approprlation~ in amount, will be adequate for thc comi~g year. With an equal appropria- tion, however, the balance at the e~d of the coming year, as compared w~th thc present balance, will be greatly reduced on account el' k~eepiug the reading-room open through the whole year. The lease of the library rooms will expire with the present calendar year. W. W. CHICKERING, ) J. A. ELLISON, t Trustees. ALFRED L. SMITH, Report of Finance Committee.

To the Citigens of 2Vorth A~tdover : Your committee appointed under article 25 of the Towu warrant of 1892" to see what action tl~e Town will take in establishing a .?stem of drainage that shall be adequate and so arranged as to meet the needs of the town, and appropri- ate a sum of money for the same on petition of J..4. Ellison and others," report as follows. Your committee realizing the importance of the work in- trusted to them and desiring to obtain the best engineering skill possible with the sum appropriated advertised for pro- posals for making the necessary surveys~ drawing of plans, estimates of costs of construction etc., of a system of sewers for our town. In answer to our advertismeut many bids were received from engineers in different parts of the country. From the uumher, the offer of MN'. F. L. Fuller of Boston was decided upon as being on the whole most satisfactory to your committee. Mr. Fuller has had a large experience in work of this nature a~d conies to us highly recommended. Under his directiou surveys have been made of all the territory hounded by and iacluding High and Sutton streets and Maih street as far as the Episcopal Church, also includiug parts of the town known as New Jerusalem, Union Heights and Stevens village; plans and profiles have been drawn, and estimates made which are submitted in this report. These plans must be presented to and receive the approval of the State Board of Health before sewers c~u be built, but as there is no town ANNUAL REPORT.--SEWE~AGE. 188 below us which use the River wafer we apprehend no difli eulty from the State Board. Your committee have looked into this and i; can be brought ]~efore the State Board if the system as recommended is adopted. We herewithprcsent to your careful consideration a report from our engineer, Mr. Fuller~ which your committee heartily enclose. Engineer's Report. Messrs. Danid Hz. Carney, ~arry ~V. Clark, Albert 2)lcDon- aid, Com,~itiee o~ Seweroge, ATorth A~dover~ Mass. Gentlemen: I take pleasure in presenting to you a brief re- port upon s, proposed system o~ Sewers for the Town of North Andover. But little need be said of (he advantage and convenience of both Sewers and a Public Wa~er Supply, as these arc facts acknowledged by all thoughtful people. A growing to~ncanno~ afford to be without these two necessities of living, not only on account of the health and comfort of its own citizens, t,ut because they are an iuduce- ment and an attraction to those seeking a location for their families or their business. Great; advance has been made within a few years in these two matters of sanitary improvement, both as to methods and in the lesseued cos~ of materials. In the sewering of towns, and even of cities under some conditions, it has been found advisable to adopt the "Separ- ate'' or small pipe systgm. This is the system I have recom- lnended and showu on the acco~npanying plan of the town. Formerly in ma,y eases, sewers aud drains were large, poorly coastructcd as to material and workmanship, of im- proper proportious and insufficient grade or slope. These sewers, being bailt for the carrying off of storm war- 184 NORTH ANDOYER. er from the streets, as well as for the house drainage, were altogether too large to properly conduct the latter. The daily flow of sewage from a house beingdistributed over from fifteen to eighteen hours, is not very great at any one time~ and can be carried off in the minimum length of time by a round, smooth pipe of such diameter that the amount of sewage it has to carry shall make a reasonable depth, and thus ensure suffieient veloelty to quickly send it to the pein* of discharge. If pipes or drains are too large, giving them a wide flat bottom, the sewage is spread out too thinly over this bottom, and there is but little velocity, and dogging is the result. The town of North Andover presents no serious difficulty in the way of house drainage, andis rather favorably situat- ed in regard to the surface drainage of its streets, on account of the ease with which this surface water ear. be ~urued, at fre- quent intervals, into the water-courses of the town. This cannot of course be done wi~b the sewage, wlfich should, if possible, be discharged at one place. The plan herewith presented shows the points of discharge, the size of pipe in each street and number of man-holes, and by arrows the direction of flow. The profiles, also a part.of rids report, show the depih~of thc sewer below the surface of the street, the man-holes, and file inclinations and consequec~ direction of flow. The estimate sheet shows what is needed at the present time. In addition to this, the plan shows the manner in which the drainage of other streets, and of l~orth Andover Centre can be disposed of. By inspecting the profiles it will be seen that the drainage of the Centre, of White Row and the Stevens 3Iitl and of a portion of Pleasant Street, must be b7 a sewer following Cochiehewick Brook to High street. ANNUAL RE~ORT.--SEWERAGE. 135 This, as before stated, is not included in the estimate, because at the present time not absolutely necessary. This sewer should receive, through a branch from Stevens ~lill, all the ret'use which is at present turned into the brook, and which in times of low water, at least, makes it very.foul. The configuration of the ground is such that a small por- tion of Second street, Beverly and Suffolk streets, must drain into the Shawsheen River near tile Boston & Maine R. R. ~Middlescx and Loring streets, must also enter the same stream at a point higher up. May, Behnont, Sargent, and Hodges streets, fro,n necessity are carried to tile Shawsheen near its junction with the Merri- mack. With these small e×ceptions, the entire drainage of the town is discharged into tile Merrimack River at a point on the line of' the Northerly extension of Main street. The sewers are to be placed at such a depth, that sinks and · water closets in basements can he drained. Man-holes are to be plaoed on tile liue of the sewers, and not over 300 feet apart. They are also to be placed at all changes of line or grade. By this means an easy inspection of the sewers can be made, and their condition observed. These man-boles also afford an easy means of flushing, by introducing a hose from hydrant orfirepump. The slopes are generally so steep, how- ever, that no special trouble need be apprehended on account of deposits in the pipes. The minimum grade, or the flattest slope it was found ne- cessary to adopt, was six inches in one hundred feet. This occurs for short distances only, except in Water street and the Westerly end of Sutton street. The maximum grade is seven feet Jn one hundred feet, and occurs on Sutton street, just West of High street. 136 NORTH ANDOVER. The estimate provides Y branches for not only every house on the line of the sewers, but also for all buildinglots, where houses, in future may bc built. Until connections are made with tile houses, these branches will be closed with an cartheu-ware stopper, When the sewers are built~ record of these branches will be mad% so tbat when needed~ they can be found. When the proposed system is bullb house connections with the preseut drains should be discontinued, and the house comiectcd with the new system. In most cases, thc old sew- ers can be used for surface drainage, and discharge at suit- able places into the nearest stream. Tbe estimate is based on the probable cust of sewer pipe for tl~e coming season, and of similar work iu o~her towns. Much time and thmlgilt has been given fo thc plamling o~ a system which should bc simpl% effective and economical. I desire ~o thank the Comnii~tee for their kindness and con- sideration.

While there has been considerable money expended in tim past for sewers we question if the desired result has been obtained, or whether some of the money thus used was not wasted, as there was no system to work from nod each piece of sewer thuslaid is independent; of all others and cannot be brought to one common outlet. In view of this fact; the necessity of a regular system wilt be appreciated as being a great saving of money and also giving us a sysl:em of sewers tha~ will be a benefit and advantage to our town; your com- mittee would therefore recommend the adoption o~'the system as by plans of Mr. Fuller and that sewers be laid in accord- ance therewith.
