Article 7.To hear the report of any committee heretofore chosen and act thereon. VOTED :That the report of the Roads Committee as read ])e accepted,and that a committee of five be appointed by the Aloderator to advise and cooperate with the Highway Surveyor on all matters pertaining to the work in his department until the next Annual Town Meeting,at which a further report with recommendations shall be made by said committee ;said report was as follows : REPORT OF ROADS COMMIT'lT^E.COHASSET Pursuant to action taken at the last Annual Town Meeting on March 7,1931,a Roads Committee of five members was a])pointed by the Moderator on March 18,1931,to advise and cooperate with the Highway Surveyor on all matters pertain- ing to the work in his department until the next Annual Town Meeting,at which a further report with recommendations was to be made by the Committee.The Roads Committee therefore makes its report as follows : In the report which the same Committee made to the Town Meeting a year ago,coi)y of w^hich ap])ears in the Town Rei)ort for the year ending December 31,1931 the Committee niade eleven recommendations.Numbers 4 and 5 of these recommen- dations were as follows : 4.That survey of Town roads be made and report rendered to show : 1.Total mileage under Town jurisdiction for maintenance, and tyi)e of same —hard surfaced or gravel. 2.Condition,of such roads at time of survey. 3.Approximate mileage taking most traffic. 4.Type of maintenance proposed for kee])ing in condition. 5.Estimated average cost per mile for work proposed. 6.Same with regard to less-used roads. 23 In this way it should be possible to standardize the proper charges for ordinary maintenance,thus limiting the uncertain- ties principally to estimates on new streets or streets which should be largely rebuilt. 5.That such survey and report ])e rec[uired as basis for a])i)ropriations in future for "General Highway Maintenance." That the budgeting of expenditures each year should cover,on a comparative basis,the expenditures of at least the two preced- ing years in order to furnish a better guide as to normal or abnormal expenditures. At the first meeting of the above Committee,fc^llowing its ap])ointment in March,1931,at which the Highway Surveyor was present,he was asked to furnish information so far as possible on the items set forth in paragraph 4.Although he was reminded of this request on more than one occasion he has never supplied the Committee with the desired information.As the Committee believes that the Highway Surveyor is the person best fitted to obtain this information,the Committee has been handicapped in any work or recommendations it might have made to carry out the instructions of the voters at the last meeting.In all fairness,however,it should be said that the Committee may be partly at fault in this matter,because it did not have regular dates for holding meetings. This Committee is convinced that all the recommendations made in its report a year ago are sound,and believes that th-.' Town will benefit substantially if these recommendations can be carried out.The Committee accordingly makes the following;' recommendations in addition to those included in its 1931 re]X)rt : 1.That a Roads Committee of five be continued to advise and cooperate with the Highway Surveyor on all matters per- taining to the work in his department,the said Committee to be appointed by the Moderator. 2.That the Committee meet at least once a month throud> 24 out the year on scheduled dates,and that the Highway Surveyor be present at such meetings. 3.That the Committee render a further report at the next Annual Town Meeting containing such recommendations as it may deem advisable. Respectfully submitted, EDWARD F.WILLCUTT,Chairman CHARLES J.DEEGAN HOLLIS T.GLEASON EDWARD A.MULVEY RAEPH E.SCRIPTURE Committee. March 12,1932.

Parents,be sure to record the birth of your child with given name in full. 58 READ THE LAW ! "Parents,within forty days after the birth of a child,and every householder,within forty days after a birth in his house, shall cause notice thereof to be given to the clerk of the town where such child is born."General Laws,Chapter 46,Section 6. SOME OF THE MANY REASONS WHY BIRTHS SHOULD BE RECORDED To establish identity. To prove nationality. To prove legitimacy. To show when the child has a right to enter school. To show when the child has the right to seek employ- ment under the child la])or law. To establish the right of inheritance to property. To establish liability to military duty,as well as exemption therefrom. To establish the right to vote. To qualify to hold title to,and to buy and sell real estate. To establish the right to public office. To prove the age at which the marriage contract may 1)e entered into. To make possible statistical studies of the health conditions. Your co-operation to the end that all births may be projy.^rly recorded will be greatly appreciated. 59 > ^P >5j rlene A.

The matter of "Unpaid Bills"at the end of a financial year has always been a source of trouble.Such bills have been sub- mitted late in the year next after the delivery of the goods, and the accountant's experience of 23 years shows that it is impossible to,get all of them in time to list in a Town Report. There is now on hand an unpaid account of the Boston Sand &Gravel Co.,for sand delivered in October,1930,when Mr. E.R.Mealy was Highway Surveyor.This was not approved by the i)roper person in 1930,and naturally,Mr.George Jason who took office in March,1931,would not approve it.The Selectmen have investigated this account and find it correct, and it seems the town should vote to pay this account under "Selectmen-Highways"at the next annual meeting.

In the matter of general taxation there are four conditions to which we wish to call your attention : 1st.The tax against the town,by the State will probably be greater on account of the State's loss of revenue from Estate and Inheritance Taxes. 2nd.Our refund from the State will be very much less on account of the greatly reduced collection from Income Taxes,a ])()rtion of which is returned to cities and towns. 3rd.Very little building has been done in the town during the past year. 4th.Assessment reductions have been demanded. With these conditions in mind it is imi)ortant this year that voters make a serious study of all articles in the warrant,calling for the expenditure of funds,bearing in mind that on one side we have the taxpayer who is heavily burdened and on the other hand we have all kinds of labor out of employment. W^e would recommend to all to look at l)oth sides of the question and in the endeavor to cut expenses consider how we can best carry on for the benefit of all concerned.

The Cohasset Home has been operated at only a shght in- crease over the preceding year. The building needs extensive repairs this year,particularly the roof and exterior woodwork,and the trimmings should be painted.The present shingles on the main roof have been in use since the Home was constructed. An estimate for the necessary work will be prepared and presented for action at the Annual Town Meeting,in March. It was thought best to give work to many unemployed dur- ing the summer,so that we expended $2,577.00 in mowing bushes,at Cohasset Home. The wood cut from the Town's land,taken for the New State Road,was hauled out and apportioned in one-half cord lots to needy families.Those trucking the wood were paid in wood to avoid using money from this department,to i)ay for it. The net cost of this department,excluding the amount spent in mowing bushes on the Cohasset Home land,was $1,180.12 over the net cost in 1931. We wish to thank the officers of the Cohasset Cha])ter, American Red Cross,the officers of the Social Service of Cohasset and Miss Fannie E.James,District Nurse,for their helpful co-operation with this Board,in this difficult time. POLICE AND FIREMEN'S RELIEF FUND Late in the year the Members of the Board as trustees,but not as Town Officials,received Five Hundred Dollars from the Cohasset Police Relief Association and Four Hundred Dollars from the Firemen's Relief Association,to be dispensed 213 by us,in giving employment for the unemployed or distressed people. This was a very generous act on the part of the donors and we wish to use this means of pubHcly expressing our apprecia- tion and thanks to both Associations.

Gentlemen:My report as Sealer of Weights and Measures is as follows :The various appliances in Town have been care- fully tested :463 were sealed,70 adjusted,and 9 were con- demned.The amount of $45.75 was collected as sealing fees and paid to the Treasurer. I have retested several appliances,inspected hawkers'and pedlers'licenses,clinical thermometers,package goods,and other commodities offered for sale by weight. Respectfully submitted, LOT E.BATES, Sealer. 223 REPORT OF THE TREE WARDEN To the Citizens of Cohasset: I herewith submit the following report : The care of the old shade trees in our town along the road- sides becomes more difficult each year as a great many of them are very old.There are many dead branches that appear each year which have to be removed,and in some cases the whole tree has to be taken down in order to prevent any damage from being done. The pruning of trees on the road sides was carried on dur- ing the past year m places where it was most needed.The shade trees in and around the common,Furber park,Beechwood park,the two parks at the cove and other small parks also. Some of the large trees on road sides were fertilized during the early spring,as well as all young trees that have been planted in the past few years.All young trees were restaked and dug around,and as the early part of the past spring was very dry the young trees were watered several times. There were some rhododendrons and other flowering shrubs planted at the base of the ledge at the foot of the common. These should beautify the same in time to come.There also were a number of trees planted in different parts of the town. All roadsides throughout the town were sprayed,including the State Highway from the Hingham line to Sohier Street and from Beechwood Street to the Scituate line.Other years the cost of doing this work was reimbursed to the town. As most trees on our main streets are very tall,it requires a very powerful spraying machine to throw a spray over them, and whereas the machine which we have is over twenty years old,and at that time the state paid 80%of the cost,it requires a lot of repairing,which would be very much cheaper than to 224 purchasing a new one at this time.It will do the work if repaired. Therefore I recommend the sum of three thousand two hundred and fifty dollars be raised and appropriated for the tree warden department.The amount of three hundred dollars for cleaning of trees for the fire alarm was expended although we did not cover the whole town thoroughly,the system seems to be in fair shape. I recommend the sum of three hundred dollars be raised and appropriated for the cleaning of trees for the fire alarm. I hereby thank the citizens for their support and cooperation during the past year,particularly the Cohasset Garden Club, which has done a lot of work in helping to beautify different parts of the town by planting flowers,etc. Report of Tree Warden will be found on Page 221 of the 1931 town report. Respectfully submitted, JOSEPH E.GRASSIE, Tree Warden. 225 REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF PARKS To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: Having been appointed superintendent of parks by your board for the past year,I herewith submit the following report on Wheelwright Park. During the early spring the ruins of the old barn,which was destroyed by fire,was cleaned up and carted away.The ground on which the building stood was graded to some extent and planted with spruce and balsam trees.There were trees planted on the roadsides in some places where there were none. We also removed some of the loose stones from the roadbed. During the early fall the roadsides were mowed from North Main Street through to Forest Avenue.We also parked out and cleaned up a1)out two acres on the Forest Avenue end.This work should be carried on from time to time until the whole area has been parked out and cleaned up.There should also be more evergreen trees planted such as hemlocks,red pine and spruce.These varieties will beautify the park and are prac- tically immune from insect pests. The white pine weavel was not as numerous during the past year,therefore the young white pines did not suffer near the damage as in former years. I want to take this opportunity to thank the citizens for their helpful suggestions during the past year. Respectfully submitted, JOSEPH E.GRASSIE, Superintendent. 226 REPORT OF MOTH SUPERINTENDENT To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: Having been appointed by your honorable board as Moth Superintendent,I herewith submit the following report. The work of creosoting gypsy ^gg clusters was carried on during the past winter and early spring,before the hatching season,and the same is being done at the present time.Although the moth situation is well in hand,the same territory must be gone over each year in order to prevent any new colonies from starting up and spreading,as there are some gypsy ^gg clusters to be found in all parts of the town.There has been no trees stripped of their foliage to my knowledge for the past number of years by the gypsy or brown tail moths. During the early spring we start the spraying in order to prevent the tent caterpillar from getting too much of a start. When they are small they do not go far from their web,and by early spraying they do not spread.All roadsides,as well as other sections of the town where gypsy ^gg clusters were found during the creosoting season were sprayed,as was all private property that we were asked to spray,pertaining to the gypsy and brown tail moths. There has been no Japanese beetle found in our town as yet that I know of. The elm beetle did quite a lot of damage during the past season.This was regarding the eating of the foliage on trees that were not sprayed,on private property. The elm trees on the roadsides as those on private property that we were requested to spray at the proper time,were not afifected by the elm beetle. Any person who wishes to have their property sprayed should notify the proper authority in the early spring. 227 At a Moth Superintendent and Tree Wardens'Meeting, held in Boston,January 19th last,reports were read by the different division superintendents and in most parts the gypsy moth and elm beetle are increasing. The most severe defoliation was on the Cape,where thou- sands of acres were stripped clean as some of you may have noticed while driving through. All local Moth Superintendents were urged by the Honor- able William A.L.Bazeley,State Forester,during his address, to scout thoroughly all parts of the towns for gypsy egg clusters to prevent any new colonies from spreading. The fall web worm is becoming more numerous each year.We spend all that we can of our appropriation trying to exterminate them,but as we do not have enough,there should be some money raised for this purpose.As I have previously mentioned,all wild cherry and willow trees should be cut down wherever possible as these seem to be their best breeding places. I recommend the sum of seven thousand dollars be raised and appropriated at our annual town meeting next March for the Moth Department. I am taking this opportunity to thank the citizens for their help and cooperation in this department. Respectfully submitted, JOSEPH E.GRASSIE, Moth Superintendent. 228 REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH To the Citizens of CoJmsset:— The members of the Board of Health have,during the ]:)ast year,continued with the usual routine of work connected with their department,investigating and remedying com])laints of various natures,enforcing quarantine in cases of contagious diseases,and in general have endeavored to enforce and uphold regulations pertaining to health and sanitation as specified by the laws of Massachusetts and the Town of Cohasset. A Well Baby Clinic was established early in 1932.The Clinic,advocated by the Social Service League and conducted under their supervision is held on the first Tuesday of each month at the Ripley Road School with Dr.Stuart Clifford,a baby specialist in attendance.The Clinic is for preventative work and for well babies.Medicine is not prescribed for sick children,neither are they treated at the Clinic,they being referred to their own family physicians. The work of the Clinic is based chiefly on administering advice and instructions on the care and feeding of babies. During the past year 57 children between the ages of seven weeks and nine years have been examined,with an average attendance each month of twelve babies. It is safe to presume that the mothers whose children arc brought regularly to the Clinic are very much interested and therefore considerable good is being realized. The Dental Clinic,under the direction of Dr.Ross has, during the past year,examined 560 children.Of that number 455 children have received treatment with 403 of the latter group receiving treatment until all defects had been remedied and each case completed. 229 Inspection of milk,vinegar,meat and provisions have been made at frequent intervals. Compared to previous years,very little work was required in removing the unsightly and odious fungus growth on Strait's Pond.This may be attributed to the draining on several occa- sions of the Pond last winter making possible the removal of much of the root growth of the plant.In comparison,however, Cat Dam and the lagoons adjacent to Jerusalem Road were very objectionable until the month of August when the con- dition was remedied. The decrease in expenditures on Strait's Pond enabled this department to do much needed work on James Brook.The streams from Sohier Street to the Cove,including those in the center of the Town,were cleaned of silt and brush with the result that despite the record rainfall of late October and early November,the usual inundation at Ripley Road as occasioned by heavy and sustained rainfall was avoided. Fifty old cars and 1,495 loads of rubbish were received at the Town Dump last year.In addition to this,the caretaker reported that hundreds of loads vv^ere dumped after working hours,Sundays and holidays.A noteworthy feature of the Dump is that it provides a disposal place for abandoned and worthless old cars that in the past cluttered up back gardens, garage yards and fields. The number of deal animals,particularly skunks found on the highways greatly exceeded that of previous years.This may have been due to the recent restriction on the use of steel traps thereby reducing trapping to a minimum and accounting for the unusual number of animals killed by machines and requiring burial.Because of this condition it has been deemed advisable to reduce,in the future,the amount usually paid for burying animals. It is a general recognized fact that the Mosquito Control Project has accomplished much in the eradication of mosquitoes. Due to the absence of marshland in comparison to surrounding 230 towns,Cohasset's proportionate assessment as determined by the State Department was but $433.00,this sum being expended under the direction of the Commission's superintendent located at Scituate,the work consisting of semi-monthly oil spraying of stagnant pools along the sea-shore with local citizens being employed for that purpose. Respectfully submitted, NATHANIEL HURWITZ,Chairman ABRAHAM ENOS,Secretary FREDERICK SULLIVAN Board of Health. 231 REPORT OF THE HARBOR MASTER To the Honorable Board of Selectmen: Gentlemen:The Harbor Master begs to make his annual report : Realizing-the need of strict economy in municipal expendi- tures,at the present time,it is the intention of this department not to ask for an increase in appropriation,although last year's amount was hardly adequate to properly conduct and maintain the harbor. It will be most necessary to make extensive repairs to the runways and float-stage at the Margin Street side of the harbor. It has been the intention to renew the entire structure,but we feel it will not be false economy to repair them once more. Because of their condition last year it was imperative that they be hauled up and stored four weeks earlier than usual. The landing of bait,etc.,at our commercial landings still remains a very unsanitary condition,as most anyone acquainted with these conditions will agree,but to properly relieve this matter will require an expenditure beyond the amount asked for,this year. We wish to call to the attention of the Honorable Board, and the Citizens of the Town,to the flag-pole now at the Town Landing.This is a most appropriate addition to this beautiful spot,made possible by the generosity of Mrs.Jessie Bancroft Cox,who donated the stafif.(This staff was on the famous Cohasset estate of the late Mr.Clarence W.Barron.)With a very small expense to this department,this magnificent pole was delivered,erected,painted and made ready for the hoisting of the flag. It must be understood that in spite of this so-called depres- 232 sion there were nearly as many boats using our harbor this past year as before.Although a few large boats were not here, channel bouys,moorings,etc.,needed as much attention and repairs,as heretofore. We wish,at this time,to express our appreciation to all those with whom we have come in contact this year,for their co-operation and good will,especially the yachtsmen and fisher- men. Respectfully submitted, JOHN J.GRASSIE, Harbor Master, JOSEPH S.ENOS, Assistant Harbor Master. 2Z^ REPORT OF THE TREASURER OF THE TRUSTEES OF WEYMOUTH FORE RIVER BRIDGE For the Year Ending December 31,1932 Balance brought forward from 1931 ..$229.96 Receipts : City of Quincy,assessments Nos.255 to 262'^../.$2,640.00 Town of Weymouth,assessments Nos.255 to 262 800.00 Town of Hingham,assessments Nos. 255 to 262 880.00 Town of Hull,assessments Nos.255 to 262 160.00 Town of Cohasset,assessments Nos. 255 to 262 480.00 Town of Scituate,assessments Nos. 255 to 262 160.00 Town of Marshfield,assessments Nos. 255 to 262 80.00 County of Norfolk,assessments Nos. 255'to262 1,600.00 Eastern Mass.St.Ry.Co.,assess- ments Nos.255 to 262 1,200.00 8,000.00 $8,229.96 Disbursements : Harry W.Pray,Services as Bridge- tender $2,000.00 234 Wm.W.Gushing,Services as Assist- ant Bridgetender 1,483.25 Harold Delaney,Services as Assist- ant Bridgetender 72.25 Harold Delaney,Services as Gate- tender 924.71 Wm.J.Gaughan,Services as Gate- tender 960.00 Arthur Rogers,Services as Gate- tender 36.82 New England Tel.&Tel.Company, Service 67.63 City Fuel Company,Fuel 64.00 Quincy Elec.Lt.&Power Co., Current 56.01 Weyrriouth Lt.&Power Co.,Current 75.04 C.I.Brink,Neon Signs 585.00 P.F.Landry,Connecting Neon Sign 19.20 Conrad V.Butler,electrical repairs..24.82 Conrad V.Butler,lamps 11.10 City of Quincy,repairs,labor and material 877.58 W.H.Brewster Co.,Premiums,]mb.

The spring was dry with many wood and grass fires and con- tinued with the average rainfall until the first week in October, when the rainfall from then on to the end of the year was almost a record which was of great benefit to the Town in reducing the danger and cost of Forest Fires. A Fire Patrol is put on Saturdays,Sundays and holidays in dry times when ordered to do so by the State Forester.I want to thank the citizens for their help and cooperation in this department.Please do not pull a box for a grass or wood fire, use the telephone. A permit is required for burning in an incinerator unless the same is approved by the Forest Warden.A permit is re- quired at all times in the year except when snow is on the ground or it is raining. Respectfully submitted, FRANK F.MARTIN,JR., Forest Warden. 239 REPORT OF THE WIRE INSPECTOR AND SUPERINTENDENT OF THE FIRE ALARM To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and tJie Chief of the Fire Department: Gentlemen:I herewith submit my report as Wire Inspector and Superintendent of Fire Alarm of the Town of Cohasset. During the past year the usual careful inspections have been made of all electrical jobs done in the town. The Electric Light and Power Company replaced seventy- six poles and all fittings ;The New England Telephone and Telegraph Company set twenty-five poles (fifteen being on private property);because of this work the Fire Department had to change their wires and equipment to the new poles.Both companies are keeping their wires in first class condition elim- inating danger which the public would be subjected to. We have improved the fire alarm system again this year, installing new boxes on Nichols Avenue,Church Street,and Pond Street,replacing old boxes on Sohier Street and one at Beechwood Street.We have also connected Scituate with Co- hasset and Cohasset wnth Scituate so that each town will get the other's alarms.Each town sharing alike in expense. In closing,I wish to express my appreciation to the Board of Selectmen,the Chief of the Fire Department,the Electric Light and Power Company,The New England Telephone and Telegraph Company and all electrical contractors for their co-operation. Respectfully submitted, HERBERT WILLIAMS. 240 REPORT OF THE COHASSET POLICE DEPARTMENT To the Honorable Board of Selectmen.

A part of Pond Street (approximately a half mile)was ripped up,widened,stoned and tarred—the penetration system used.The sides of the road were built up,graded and the culvert repaired.About one fourth mile of this street is still in need of repair but it was not possible to take care of it from the general appropriation of the past year.The state road now under construction will cross this street. Sohier Street from the Bancroft Estate to the railroad crossing was widened and the material from the sides dumped in a low place in back of Ripley Road School. The sidewalks were rolled and some covered with stonedust. All drains and catch-basins were blown out and cleaned.This work is repeated several times a year. Fences were rebuilt in many places.Near the Grain Mill, of¥South Main Street,part of the wall as well as a new fence had to be constructed.On Beechwood Street the wall and cul- vert were repaired and a new fence and a catch-basin were built.All other fences were repaired and painted white. 244 Lambert's Lane from the brook to Hull Street was re- surfaced and a dangerous ledge blasted and removed.About two thirds of Stockbridge Street was entirely resurfaced and widened as much as possible.These two pieces of work were taken care of by special appropriations. Due to the work on the new state road an unusual amount of heavy trucking has gone on over Beechwood and King Streets.Much damage has been done and these roads will need special attention in the spring. I have asked for sufficient money in the general appropria- tion to cover the purchase of a new road scraper and a patching mixer.Our two machines have been used about fifteen years and are worn out. Realizing the critical conditions of the times,I have tried to 1)e as fair in my distribution of work as possible.Men of all trades and professions have found it necessary to turn to this department for work.There have been so many hundreds of applicants that it has been necessary,during parts of the year, to list the men,limiting them to two or three days each and as soon as the end of the list was reached to re-hire them. I should like to express here my sincere appreciation to the other town officers for their cooperation and to the voters for their helpful criticism and suggestions. GEORGE JASON, Highway Surveyor.

This year we have had the largest circulation since 1925 ; an increase of nearly 5,000 over last year.We try to supply all non-fiction as requested,either from our library or by borrow- ing through the *'Inter-Library-Loan"fom Boston and Quincy. Suggestions for new books are gladly received and are pro- posed at the monthly meetings of the Book Committee. Library Book Week was observed with an attractive display of children's new books and a printed list for distribution,fol- lowed by a Thanksgiving story hour. We were fortunate to secure the services of Marguerite All)ertson Ripley for our Christmas story hour,on Dec.17th. The Librarians as well as 38 children enjoyed the stories which illustrated the true spirit of Christmas. The school grades,l^eginning with the fourth,have been reading from the State lists.Twenty-six have already received their certificates. I have attended the meetings of the Alassachusetts Library Club and the Round Table of Children's Librarians ;at the latter,we not only see new books,but meet some of the inter- esting authors. The Library gratefully acknowledges gifts of books from the following persons :—Mrs.Joseph S.Bigelow,Mr.William J.Anderson,Mrs.Earle Higgins,Miss Mary C.Sears,Mr.W.

VI School Lunch The net cost of this department is $1,165.88.We feel justi- fied in maintaining it. VII Repairs and Improvements All buildings are in good repair.Under a separate article we are asking for an appropriation of $1,000 from the balance of the Second Ripley Road School Bond Issue to fill and grade the grounds in the rear of the Ripley Road School. We are very sure that under this program we will not be taking anything from the child which is essential for his educa- tion,and we will not be overworking our teachers or super- visors. In accordance with this program we have drawn up our budget.We ask for your cooperation.

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS To the ScJiooI Committee and Citizens of Cohasset: I herewith submit to your Committee and through you to the citizens of Cohasset the annual report of the Superintendent of Schools.Included are the reports of the principals and special teachers. During the year 1932 there were no changes in the per- sonnel of the teaching force.This is due largely to two reasons, first a large number of changes the year before,and second, the present economic depression has compelled the postpone- ment of contemplated marriages.The work in the schools has not been interrupted by the adjustment of new teachers as is sometimes the case.We have a good corps of teachers and the result of their teaching is gratifying. The enrollment in the schools is some forty more than one year ago.The Ripley Road School has a larger first grade enrollment and a smaller sixth grade enrollment,the total in the building remaining about the same as the year before.The Osgood School has twenty-seven more pupils than last year. fifteen of these are in the seventh and eighth grades and twelve in the high school. The per cent attendance has been good;in the grades 93%, as high as at any time in ten years ;and in the high school 94%,which was exceeded in 1925 and 1926 only. Our schools have been conducted on the same program as last year.Because of the economic stress every efifort has been made to keep expenditures down to the lowest point without decreasing the efficiency.As a result we are turning back to the Treasury a balance of $1,583.31,which would have been $1,972.10 had there not been a large number of pupils attending the trade schools of Weymouth and Ouincy. 10 Retrenchment Your Committee and Superintendent realizing full well the stress that is placed upon the taxpayer have considered possible ways of reducing the cost of the schools without reducing the essential needs of the pupils. Your Committee has considered whether or not it would be wise to dispense with the services of the present Superintend- ent of Schools and combine this position with that of the Principal of the high school.This has not met with the approval of the majority of the Committee.It would mean that a teacher would have to be employed to teach the classes now taught by the Principal,or there would be no supervision,and under these conditions the financial saving would be very small,if any. For the past two years at the Ripley Road School the principal has been relieved of a class room.This seemed at the time a desirable thing to do,as we were adding additional classes to the building,and the principal had had little experience with the lower grades.It gave her an opportunity to study the work of all six grades and give help where it was most needed.It did,however,materially increase the overhead of the schools. Now that the ])rincipal has had this oi)pc)rtunity to becouK' well acquainted with the work of all the grades,we feel that the efficiency of the building will not be decreased if she again takes charge of a class room in addition to her duties as prin- cipal.The second grades will be large next September,so that it will be impossible to combine some of the second and third grade pupils in a room as we have been doing.The third grade will have an enrollment of fifty-five pupils.It will therefore be necessary to have two third grade rooms.We could have twenty-eight in one room and twenty-seven in the other,but by giving Aliss Wing thirty-five,a room of twenty can be taught by Miss Brown without interfering with her duties as ])rincipal. The three lower grades do not convene until after the uppe grades and they close earlier,so the principal will be free to oversee the building before and after taking up her work with the class.Then too,special duties can be assigned to the regula 11 teachers as has always been done previous to the past two years. The Committee has decided to close the Beechwood School temporarily this June.The pupils can be cared for in the first and second grade rooms at the Ripley Road School,thus saving the salary of a teacher and janitor and the cost of fuel for the building. The Committee have decided not to employ a teacher of Physical Education after the end of the school year in June. The law provides that both indoor and outdoor games,and physical instruction shall be a part of the school program,but does not specify that this work shall be done by a special teacher.The work must continue,but under the regular teach- ers.We are sorry to lose the services of Miss Brooks,who has given whole-hearted service to the schools under adverse condi- tions.The lack of gymnasium,showers,and suitable athletic field has been a great handicap in her work. The nunil)er of pupils three years or more retarded next year will be considerably less than the ten which require a special class.The special class,therefore,will be discontinued in June,and the few special cases will be cared for in the regular classes.The time now devoted to this group will be given the regular classes. On the following pages the class enrollment and teaching periods of the teachers in the Osgood School appear.It will be observed that in the high school there are a large number of very small classes,taught by well-trained,well-paid teachers. It has been the policy of the Town to have a high school that in addition to general training would send pupils to any college well prepared for the work.The graduates of our high school who have attended Harvard,Technology,and Boston Univer- sity have gone well prepared.However,the preparation in these small classes is expensive.The third year French class has four pupils.This means that it costs $75 per pupil a year to teach third year French.The class in third year Latin has three pupils only,costing $100 per year each for this subject.The class in second year French has six pupils,costing $50 each. 12 There are nine classes in high school having ten or less pupils.These are expensive classes to teach.One class in Eng- lish has 28 pupils,another has 30.In these classes it is costing eight dollars per pupil as compared to the $100 in third year Latin. We feel under the present conditions that some of these small classes must be eliminated.This can be done by teaching them in alternate years to the pupils of two classes. Small classes result in a large number of pupils in study hall in some periods,thus requiring two study rooms at times in- stead of one.The principal has been in charge of study hall some fifteen periods per week this year.The use of a larger study hall and the combination of some classes will result in a saving of teaching hours in the high school,so that one of the present high school teachers can be released for an eighth grade home room and some eighth grade teaching.This and the elim- ination of the special class will result in a saving of one teacher in addition to the time of Miss Brooks,and the position made vacant by the resignation of Miss Bates who retires from active service this June will not be filled. The following tabulation shows the room enrollment this fall and the distribution we would have next year,.if the Beech- wood pupils are transferred to the Ripley Road School,and a small third grade room i^laced in charge of the principal. 1932 1932 1933 1933 Grades Number Grades Number of pupils of pupils Beechwood School 1-2 21 Ripley Road School K 48 K 48 1 35 1 33 1 35 1 33 2 35 2 33 2-3 31 33 7 7 7-8 9 10 11 12 13 33 4 26 4 27 5 28 5 26 6 26 6 24 3 35 3 20* 4 27 4 28 5 35 5-6 31 6 35 395 391 Total Osgood School 35 7 30 35 7 30 26 8 33 35 8 33 131 126 39 9 48 34 10 34 34 11 32 20 12 30 127 144 653 Total 661 14 Financial Statement 1932-1933 Expended Appropria- 1931 tion 1932 School Committee $143.75 $125.00 Superintendent 2,000.00 2.000.00 Supervisor of Attendance 100.00 100.00 Stationery,Postage 18.35 50.00 Telephones 301.17 300.00 Travel and Automobile ...150.45 150.00 Clerical Work 32.00 75.00 Printing-61.00 65.00 Salaries High 14,644.62 15,200.00 Salaries Elementary 32.808.66 32.000.00 Books High 775.75 700.00 Books Elementary 859.00 900.00 Supplies High 717.27 800.00 Supplies Elementary 1.610.70 1,600.00 Library 115.11 200.00 Transportation Hi^h 961.81 1.000.00 Transportation Elementary 4,044.27 4.000.00 Janitors High 1.177.29 1.000.00 Janitors Elementary 3,824.45 3,900.00 Light &Power High ....672.84 600.00 Lights &Power Elementary 969.57 950.00 Fuel High 359.02 400.00 Fuel Elementary 1,354.45 1,500.00 Repairs High 743.13 500.00 Repairs Elementary 2,049.88 1,500.00 Janitors Supplies High ...89.23 100.00 Janitors Supplies Elem...323.22 300.00 Miscellaneous High 43.23 30.00 Miscellaneous Elementary .'0.00 30.00 Furniture High 209'.58 200.00 Furniture Elementary 353.57 100.00 Graduation High 52.25 75.00 Health 267.00 250.00 Insurance 744.47 1.000.00 Miscellaneous Lunch Rooms 5.337.34 5.200.00 'Expended Estimate 1932 1933 $125.00 $125.00 2.000.00 2.000.00 100.00 100.00 13.35 50.00 306.76 300.00 109.93 150.00 25.00 45.00 45.00 15.032.50 14.200.00 31.893.00 30.600.00 437.53 600.00 992.76 900.00 985.28 900.00 1.865.11 1.800.00 61.82 100.00 1.180.92 1.700.00 3.925.53 4.300.(H) 993.50 1.000.00 3.771.00 3.500.00 262.42 500.00 996.32 1,000.00 326.88 400.00 1,519.89 1,400.00 288.87 400.00 399.14 800.00 112.69 100.00 362.38 300.00 20.50 30.00 31.08 30.00 296.45 200.00 105.65 lOO.(K) 71.25 75.00 258.00 250.00 1.268.21 650.00 9.32 4.880.68 5,000.00 15 Refunds,tel.etc 120.82 $77,718.32 $77,020.82 $75,048.72 $73,630.00 Vocational Education ....1,181.68 1,000.00 1,388.89 1,200.00 Balance to Treasury $3,925.0^3 $1,583.21 '''Under Transportation $1400 is included for a new Bus.

We are at the beginning of a new epoch in our social and industrial life.There are those of us who believe that the new era will bring greater comfort and greater happiness than our people have previously experienced.Our labor saving machines will not be scrapped,man will not be deprived of the fruit of his genius.Of this we are certain,—the American people in the future will be required to work less hours per individual than ever before.There will be no place in industry for the growing- boy and girl to supplant men and women of maturity. 26 Herein lies a great danger.The idle boy or girl is the greatest menace that the future can place before us.Our greatest re- sponsibility lies in directing the activities of the boy and girl over even a longer period than in the past,until they them- selves are able to enter into gainful occupations.It is no time for society to say,"Let the parents care for their offspring,if they see fit to bring them into the world."The load is too great. The responsibility rests directly upon society which reaps the fruits of good citizenship and likewise the tares of misdirected energy. It means more school work,not less,a prolongation of the period of directed thought.If there must be curtailment of this responsibility let it come in the early years of childhood,not in the period of adolescence.Prosperity is in a marked degree de- pendent upon education.In the five states expending the most for education,the average earnings is twice that of the average earnings in the five states that do the least for education.Re- striction of education imperils democracy.Said Thomas Jeffer- son,''A free government cannot endure without a system of public education." President Hoover on Schools On January 5,1933,President Hoover,speaking at the opening session of the Citizens'Conference on the Crisis in Education,said as follows : **Our nation faces the acute responsibility of providing a right-of-way for the American child.In spite of our economic, social and governmental difficulties,our future citizens must be built up now.We may delay other problems,but we caniKJt delay the day-to-day care and instruction of our children.... "Our governmental forces have grown unevenly and along with our astounding national development.We are now forced to make decisions on the merits of the various expenditures. But in the rigid governmental economies that are requisite everywhere we must not encroach upon the schools or reduce the opportunity of the child through the school to develop ade- quate citizenship.There is no safety for our re]:)ublic without 27 the education of our youth.That is the first charge upon all citizens and local governments. "I have confidence that with adequate reduction of expend- itures there can be ample amounts obtained from reasonable taxation to keep our school system intact and functioning satis- factorily.Those in charge of the schools must be willing to face conditions as they are,to cooperate in discarding all unneces- sary expenditure,to analyze all procedures,and to carry for- ward on a solid basis of economy.But the schools must be carried on.... "Above all,may I ask that throughout your deliberations you bear in mind that the proper care and training of our chil- dren is more important than any other process that is carried on by our Government.If we are to continue to educate our children,we must keep and sustain our teachers and our schools." Respectfully submitted, ORVIS K.COLLINS, Superintendent of Schools. 28 REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE HIGH SCHOOL Mr.O.K.Collins Dear Sir:The only change of any moment in the school organization during the past year has been the shortening of the school day by the dropping of the final afternoon period.In place of the above forty-five minute period,sessions for make- up work are held on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons until four o'clock.A bus delivers those pupils who remain to their homes.This plan seems to be quite desirable. The spirit of the school group,both teachers and i)upils has been excellent and this is a big factor in producing good educa- tional results.Disciplinary problems have been at a minimum this past year. I enclose below a list of 1932 graduates and of the entering class of September 1932.Three of last year's graduates have entered college (M.I.T..Simmons and Northeastern)and I am happy to say that the mid-term reports of their work from their respective colleges have been excellent.Five of the 1932 graduates have returned to school for additional commercial training. Thank you,and the meml^ers of the Osgood School staff for whole-hearted cooperation at all times.

Dear Sir:In June we promoted ninety-three per cent of the pupils in the Ripley Road School.This high percentage of promotion was accomplished by giving as much extra help as we possibly could to the children who found the required work of the grade difficult,and by planning our programs to meet the needs of the individual child in a more satisfactory manner than ever before.We recognize and respect the diflferences in each child,also the varying abilities present in a room of twenty-five to thirty-five pupils and are striving to treat each child as a distinct personality.That we are succeeding along this line is shown,I believe,by the large number of pupils who are promoted.It is as disappointing for a teacher to fail to promote a child as it is for a pupil and parents to accept that failure.A child repeats a year only when he has been unable to master the fundamentals of the grade after special help has been given to him,and when promotion means the loss of valuable essentials which cannot be secured in a higher grade. This high rate of promotion has been possible without lowering our standards in any way.The work done by our children compares very favorably with that done in towns much larger than Cohasset and with cities which rank high in educa- tional standards. Ivespect fully submitted, HELEN L.BROWN. 31 REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC Mr.O.K.Collins,Superintendent of Schools Cohasset,Mass. Dear Mr.Collins:During the past year music reading has maintained the standard set for our schools.Music reading and teaching of the fundamentals of music must always remain the chief factor in our music course.In making a survey I find 75%of the high school pupils possess the ability and enthusiasm to study choral works,of high standard.This,in comparison to other school systems,is an unusually high percentage and Cohasset schools are setting a standard in music which very few school systems can equal. During the past year instrumental study has assumed large." proportions.Miss Quin our violin instructor,has a larger registration in class instruction than ever before.Her work is receiving favorable commendation from the community,and an exceptional opportunity is afforded the pupils to study th? violin as a part of their music education. We were fortunate to obtain the services of Mr,Donald Leach to teach trumpet,drum,and other brass instruments and at this time I report two classes in instruments at the Os- good School and several pupils taking the more intensive train- ing through private study. The instrumental work is growing every year and in time we will receive the benefit through a larger and more efficient orchestra. This work is financed without expense to the school depart- ment and I hope in time it will be possible to engage these teachers as part of the music department,pay an annual salary and open instrumental study to the pupils free of charge.I do not hope to make such a recommendation for some time,yet it is a project I hope to realize sometime in the future. 32 Each year I report a spring concert,but for me to report such a program only tells the readers of this report that our pupils receive sufficient music education to present a choral Cantata of high standard.I ask all townspeople to attend our concert and hear and judge for themselves the progress made yearly. I have used the word "standards"'constantly in this report. That word is the keynote to all progress and now and in the future I shall persist in the endeavor to maintain a "standard" in music education. I have but one more statement to make.Pupils from our high school who hav.e gone to college and applied for Glee Club,orchestra,or band,have without exception been accepted, a record of which I am justly proud. Without the loyal cooperation of all teachers our music could not advance,and to our teachers and principals,also sup- erintendent <'ind committee,1 wish to give the larger share of credit for our mu>ic standard. Sincerely, FREDERICK A.TAYLOR. 33 REPORT OF THE ART DEPARTMENT Mr.Orvis K.Collins, Superintendent of Schools. Dear Sir:The Art Department of the Cohasset Schools has completed another busy year.Two exhibitions marked the close of the term in June,one held in the Primary School on June second which showed the work of the first six grades,and another at the Osgood School on the afternoon and evening of June ninth,showing the work of the seventh and eighth grades and the High School. In the Ripley Road School I have taught the drawing in the fifth and sixth grades and have planned and supervised the work in the first four grades,teaching picture study also in all these grades.One and a half days a week are given to this work and the gratifying results are due in large measure to the splendid cooperation of Miss Brown and her teachers. The seventh and eighth grades and the High School classes- each have two periods a week of drawing and art appreciation. Through Mr.Doyle's careful planning,the ninth grade boys now have two periods a week of Mechanical Drawing and the tenth grade has one period.This gives about thirty-two boys an opportunity to get some ground work in this subject and some valuable training in straight thinking,an excellent background for training in many vocations. In all of our work our aim is not to produce artists,for they are the exception,but it is to train all of our children to be intelligent consumers of art.We want them also to derive joy and culture from the expression of their ideas and from the creation and enjoyment of beautiful things. Respectfully submitted, FLORENCE E.KRAUS. January 1,1933. 34 REPORT OF THE HOUSEHOLD ARTS DEPARTMENT Mr.O.K.Collins Supcrintendcni of Schools Dear Sir:I submit for your approval and acce])tance a hri^i report of the Domestic Science department for Lhe year 1932.The work of this department includes the teaching of cooking and sewing and the serving of a noon lunch,the greater part of which is prepared by an assistant. The cooking department desires to teach the girls the prep- aration and serving of simple,well-prepared food and to interest them in the work and care of their homes.During the noon hour some of the High School girls help in the lunch room.There has been about the usual number who have bought all or part of their lunches.During the winter months the Social Service furnished hot lunches for several children,])articularly at th? Ripley Road school. The sewing (lei)artmcnt aims to teach the girls the making and use of the common stitches,the use of the sewing machine, the use of simple patterns and the making and care of their ')wn clothes.Sewing was taught in the sixth grade for one \enr but in the fall of 1932 there were so many High School girls who wished to take sewing that they were given the preference and the subject was dropped in the sixth grade. In May a sewing exhibit was held in conjunction with the Art and Industrial departments,and we were much pleased with the large number of parents and friends who showed their interest in the handwork done by the pupils. The Social Service furnished material and the girls of the sewing classes did considerable sewing for them.The garments made included layettes,and night clothes,undergarments an 1 dresses for older children. 35 In closing I wish to thank you and the School Committee for the cooperation which this department has received. Respectfully submitted, HELEN C.WELCH. 36 REPORT OF THE INDUSTRIAL ARTS DEPARTMENT AND CLUB WORK Mr.0.K.Collins Superintendent of Schools Dear Sir:In the periods allotted to Industrial Arts the boys of classes 7A,7B,and 7C have been engaged in elementary woodworking.Class 8B were given advanced woodworking,and 9B had cabinet making and wood turning.Class 8A elected ele- mentary printing,and lOB advanced printing.The projects in woodworking in our shop are so numerous and are represented in so many of the homes in our town that further reference to them is not called for in this report.The work in our print shop compares favorably with that done in commercial establish- ments and gives the boys a practical understanding of Job Printing. Due to the scarcity of employment the High School classes are unusually large,because the ambitious boys continue to attend school rather than be idle.Larger numbers of older boys would remain in school if they were offered education suited to their interests and ability.With a six hour day and a five day week Industry will accept only the properly trained,and the coming so-called New Era will undoubtedly,more than ever, place the responsibility for industrial training on the public schools.The boys from communities like Quincy and Wey- mouth,where adequate industrial training is given to large numbers,will find a ready demand for their services,while boys without such training will be at a distinct disadvantage. The proper education of all of our children,in order to make them economically strong and independent,is the most important function of any community and the best safeguard of our American Institutions and Ideals. 37 Club Work By vote of the School Committee,regular cluh work was suspended in the Spring of 1932.The county club leaders of- fered to continue their visits to Cohasset if volunteer leaders could be found.Airs.John Lawrence offered to supervise the sewing club and 1 have organized the poultry club.

M.H.MEYER. 38 REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN The year has l)een free from epidemics.A general imi)rove- ment in the health of pupils is noticeahle :due,I think,to more intelligent care on the part of parents,to improved condition of the teeth and in some cases to the removal of diseased tonsils. With grateful appreciation of the cooperation of the Com- mittee,the teachers and the school nurse. Respectfully submitted, OLIVER H.HOWE,.M.D. :1 1
