"To the Voters of the Town of Cohasset:
At the March,1920,meeting the Town voted to instruct
the Moderator to ax:)point a committee,consisting of the Chair-
14
man and Clerk of the Board of Selectmen,the Chairman and
Clerk of the School Committee and five citizens,to make a
study of the questions relating to further school accommoda-
tions in Cohasset and to present specific recommendations to
the Town not later than its next annual meeting;their report
to consist of the following:
First,a report to reduce the system and get along with
present accommodations.
Second,a report to enlarge the school plant so as to accom-
modate the present system properly and provide adequate
accommodations for physical education and auditorium.
Third,a report after conference with the Selectmen and the
American Legion for a combination of school accommodations,
assembly hall and business offices,or both,and a memorial hall.
Fourth,to report as to the advisability of undertaking to
finance the plans provided in the second or third report in whole
or in part by voluntary contributions.
Pursuant to this vote the Moderator appointed as a com-
mittee Messrs.Mapes and Brown of the Board of Selectmen,
Messrs.Stanley and Beal of the School Committee,and Messrs.
C.Keefe,C.W.Gammons,E.N.Tower,J.E.Grassie and
I.F.Sylvester.On account of Mr.Stanley's absence in Europe
with the Boy Scouts the Moderator appointed in his place Mr.
Shuebruk of the School Committee.
The Committee met and organized by electing Mr.Shue-
bruk temporary chairman and Mr.Beal secretary.
As a result of their consideration and the reports made to it
by sub-committees,the Committee reports specifically,as
instructed by the vote of the Town.
First:No plan to reduce the school system and get along
with present accommodations is practicable.The only methods
of reducing the school system are by eliminating certain
so-called special or extra courses,such as the manual training,
household arts,commercial courses and kindergarten.These
courses are all carried on in quarters which could in no way be
adapted for the regular courses.The manual training is carried
on in the basement and the commercial courses on the third
floor of the Osgood Building;the kindergarten and household
15
arts course are conducted in the Bates Building.None of these
rooms could be used in any satisfactory way to relieve the
present over-crowded conditions of the rooms where the so-called
regular and essential courses are conducted.
To drop the special courses would result in a saving in the
operating expenses of the schools,but would in no way help to
relieve the over-crowded condition of the rest of the school.
This is something which can be accomplished only by new
quarters for some of the regular classes either in the elemen-
tary grades or in the high school.
Second:The Committee has had two suggestions for
enlarging the school plant so as to accommodate the present
system properly and provide adequate accommodations for
physical education and an auditorium.
The one involving the least present expenditure would call
for a six-room building to care for the kindergarten and four
lower grades.If this suggestion were adopted the building
should be planned so that it could later be turned over into a
modern high school building.
The other plan would call for the construction of an eight-
room building to be used as a high school.The present building,
with the addition of few windows could be made into a very
satisfactory twelve-room building with a small assembly hall.
This would accommodate the eight grades and kindergarten,
allowing for an extra sixth grade room,an extra first grade
room,and one other extra room.The present manual training
room would make a very satisfactory lunch room.
Third:The Committee realized that the Town needed,in
addition to greater school accommodations,an assembly hall
large enough to accommodate the voters and better facilities
for Town Officers,and also that the Legion is planning to pro-
vide itself with suitable and permanent quarters.
It is evident that greater utility for all three of these
objects and a decided economy in construction would be secured,
by combining the additional school quarters,Town Hall and
offices,and Legion building either in one building or in one
group of buildings.For example,the School Department and
the Legion both need an assembly hall,but they could con-
16
veniently use the Town Hall if it was located near their build-
ings.The School Department and the Legion both believe they
should have a gymnasium and they could both use the same
gymnasiimi if located near enough to both school and Legion
buildings.There would be further economies of construction,
heating,general maintenance,grounds,etc.
In furtherance of this idea sub-committees were appointed.
The results of the investigations made by the Sub-Com-
mittee on Schools,which was assisted by the Superintendent,
Mr.Collins,have been given under the first and second head-
ings of this report.The reports made by the Sub-Committee on
Town Hall and Legion quarters were submitted by the Com-
mittees to Messrs.George F.Newton and Joseph N.Willcutt,
who gave a great deal of time in studying the project and in
preparing sketches,floor plans and approximate estimates of
cost.
The Committee on Sites procured the services of Mr.John
Nolen of Cambridge,town and city planner and landscape
architect,and the possibilities of the Town were thoroughly
canvassed.As a result this sub-committee recommended as the
only practicable sites for a combination of these three buildings
the Cousens and Andrews properties adjoining the present
school lot on the southerly side of Elm Street,directly opposite
the Osgood School building and now occupied by the Bates
Building and private owners.
No steps were taken to estimate the cost of securing either
of these sites.
Since the Committee organized and after the greater part
of its work was done,the situation regarding a Town Hall has
changed materially.In the near future the number of qualified
voters will be at least double what it was a year ago;and the
Legislature has refused to recommend any amendment to the
Constitution which will permit towns of less than four thousand
inhabitants to organize on any precinct voting plan.
Of course it is impossible for the Committee to foresee what
action the Town may take to provide accommodations for its
Town meetings,which are required by law,but it is apparent
that the necessity for a new Town Hall is vastly more pressing
17
and immediate than it was a year ago.Even if the Town should
be disposed to go forward with a plan for a group of buildings
such as has been suggested,it might feel that a new Town Hall
could not wait upon the development of the entire plan.This
possibility,the Committee feels,makes it all the more impera-
tive that,in any plans for Town building,all of the future needs
of the Town should be kept in mind.
Fourth:Several suggestions were made regarding the
possibiHty of private subscriptions in aid of the project and in
particular it seemed probable that a good deal of help could be
secured in defraying the cost of a Legion building.As the plans
and even approximate costs are all so indefinite,however,it has
been impossible to make any progress along these lines.
Appended to this report is a sketch made by Messrs.
Newton and Willcutt.It is not intended in any sense as a
definite or final plan of even what the Committee might recom-
mend,but merely as a suggestion of the possibilities contained
in one method of developing a combination of the three needs
of Cohasset today —a new Town Hall,a High School building
and a Memorial Building for the George H.Mealy Post of the
American Legion.
The whole cost of the building suggested might approxi-
mate $300,000 exclusive of the site,but th«part of the building
devoted to the Legion would presumably be provided for by
private subscription.
We recommend that a committee of five be appointed by
the Moderator,of which the Chairman of the Board of Select-
men shall be one,to secure plans,specifications and definite
estimates of the cost of constructing the buildings referred to
and to secure definite estimates of the cost of acquiring either
of the sites suggested."
Voted:That the above report be received and placed on
record and that a committee of five,of which the Chairman of
the Board of Selectmen shall be one,be appointed by the
Moderator to continue the investigation relative to the con-
struction of a schoolhouse and Town Hall in connection with
quarters to be erected by the George H.Mealy Post of the
American Legion,with instructions to secure plans,specifica-
18
tions and definite estimates of costs,including costs of sites,on
the alternative plans suggested by last year's Committee,and
that the sum of $500 be raised and appropriated for necessary
expenses of the Committee.
Article 46.Herbert A.Tucker and others.Will the Town
raise and appropriate the sum of S2,500 for the dredging of
Cohasset Harbor?
Voted:That the Town raise and appropriate the sum of
$2,500 for the dredging of Cohasset Harbor;to be expended
provided a sum satisfactory to the Selectmen and Harbor Com-
mittee is allotted by the Department of Public Works of the
Commonwealth during the current year to be used with the
sum appropriated under this article.

Town raise and appropriate the sum of $2,500 to be expended
under the direction of the Highway Surveyor,to build a
macadamized road from the Scituate line on Church Street to
the corner of Doane and Beechwood Streets,by way of said
Doane Street?
Voted:That this article be indefinitely postponed.

$600 for the above purpose and the kind of edge to be used be
left to the discretion of Highway Surveyor.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN
To the Citizens of Cohasset:
In making a report of our stewardship for the year 1921
we feel that a volume of words is not needed or expected,for
our acts during the 3^ear are apparent to all observing citizens.
The work of remodeling the Guild Hall into headquarters
for the George H.Mealey Post,American Legion,was completed
during the year and it is now occupied by the Post,also affording
quarters for the Volunteer Veteran Firemen's Association,in
accordance with the vote of the Town,and without expenditure
above the appropriation.
The financial report shows over expenditures of appro-
priations by several departments and it is hoped that the
department heads will each recommend such appropriation
for the operation of his department for the ensuing year as will
care for its needs,and not cause this Board to exhaust its
emergency fund for maintenance expense as was the case during
the past year,also having in mind the necessity for economy
in every department with a view to reducing the tax rate,which
last year was the highest in the history of the Town,and at the
same time maintain the highest possible efficiency of his depart-
ment.
Respectfully,
HARRY E.MAPES,
HERBERT L.BROWN,
WILLIAM O.SOUTHER,JR.,
Board of Selectmen.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF FIRE ENGINEERS
Cohasset,Mass.,January 25,1922.
To the Board of Selectmen.
Gentlemen:The Board of Engineers appointed by your
Honorable Board for the year ending April 30,1922 met in
accordance with your instructions and organized with the
following choice of officers:
Chief,Fred C.Blossom.
Assistant Chief,Sidney L.Beal.
District Chief,George Jason.
District Chief,Frank F.Martin,Jr..
Clerk,George F.Sargent,Jr.
From the last annual report it appears that the depart-
ment has responded to seventy-eight alarms for buildings,
chimney,automobile and grass fires including one false alarm.
Number of feet of hose laid 4,950.Number of feet of
ladders raised 485.Number of gallons of chemical used (not
including grass fires)approximately 600.
The fire losses of the year follow:
Value of buildings and automobiles burned $76,800 00
Loss on buildings and automobiles burned 8,800 00
Insurance on buildings and automobiles burned ...39,400 00
Value of contents of buildings 7,775 00
Loss on contents of buildings 2,763 00
Insurance on contents of buildings 5,900 00
Total loss on buildings,automobiles and contents...11,563 00
Again this year an amount in excess of our appropriation
was spent on the Fire-Alarm System.
Owning to the inaccuracy of Box Alarms received and the
93
numerous complaints of the citizens it was deemed advisable
by the Board of Engineers to have an expert engineer from the
Gamewell Fire-Alarm Company to come and go over the system
and make recommendations without expense to the Town.
The report was received and called for the expenditure of a
large sum of money which did not include the extra amount
spent on the Fire-Alarm System this year.It was found that
all over the town limbs of trees were interfering with the wires,
causing short circuits,also that insulators on cross arms were
defective.
The outside system at the present time from the Report
of the Electrician is in good condition.
Respectfully submitted,
FRED C.BLOSSOM,Chief,
SIDNEY L.BEAL,Assistant Chief,
GEORGE JASON,District Chief,
FRANK F.MARTIN,JR.,District Chief,
GEORGE F.SARGENT,JR.,Clerk.

REPORT OF SEALER OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
To the Board of Selectmen.
Gentlemen:Your sealer in submitting his ninth annual
report would respectfully state that the four hundred and twelve
appliances now in use for weighing and measuring in Cohasset
have been tested and sealed as required by law and have
received such further inspection as would insure their continued
accuracy and efficiency.Conditions in Cohasset as reported
by the state inspector as regards apparatus,its use and condi-
tion,are most gratifying to your sealer and should be equally
so both to our dealers and citizens as well.
While the activities of this small department are usually lost
sight of when considered with others that require the appropria-
tion of thousands of dollars,nevertheless no department and
its work are more intimately connected with the family pocket
book,especially in times like the present when the price of
commodities is high and money none too plenty.However,
whether the public interest may or may not touch this little
department,its size and state of mind might perhaps be likened
to the so-called "flivver "which without notice chugs
merrily along at its business and gets there just the same.
Yours respectfully,
CALEB NICHOLS,Sealer.
Cohasset,January 24,1922.

REPORT OF TREE WARDEN
Cohasset,Mass.,January 23,1922.
To the Citizens of Cohasset :
Your Tree Warden in submitting his report for the year
1921 respectfully states that the year has been a success,
greatly due to the mild winter and early spring.
Pruning was done where needed and in some instances it
was necessary to cut the trees down,because of inside deterio-
ration,due to limb break and leaf sap.
The trees were sprayed as soon as leafed out in order to
suppress the insects before they got the leaves pinholed,which
causes a very great sapping of the tree.
A large number of trees were set out and my one hope is
that there shall be many more,as they are a great factor in
beautifying the town.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE YOUNG,
Tree Warden.

GEORGE H.MEALY POST NO.118,AMERICAN LEGION
Cohasset,Mass.,January 26,1922.
To the Citizens of Cohasset:
We,the members of the .George H.Mealy Post No.118,
American Legion,desire to express our appreciation and grati-
tude to the citizens of Cohasset for their generosity in providing
our Post with the splendid,roomy and up-to-date club house
which has recently been completed and leased to this Post.
The members of the Post are very enthusiastic and justly
proud of their new quarters,which constitute,without doubt,
the finest American Legion club house provided for ex-service
men,by any town in the State.
We realize and appreciate the fact that this fine club
house necessitated a heavy expense and placed quite a burden
on the taxpayers.For this sacrifice and generosity on the part
of the Cohasset citizens we are deeply grateful and assure you
that we shall endeavor to carry on the patriotic work of the
American Legion ever true to its high ideals —"For God and
Country —for Law and Order."*
Yours very truly
For the Post,
EUGENE N.TOWER,
REV.JAMES P.SHERRY,
Committee

School Test Clinics
This board has instituted a series of weekly free clinics
for the purpose of administering the Schick Test to adults
and all children of Cohasset two (2)years old or older,in the
lower Town Hall every Tuesday from 3 to 4 p.m.
The Schick Test is a simple harmless injection between
the layers of the skin usually of the forearm near the elbow.
This injection produces a wheal and is often referred to as a
"mosquito bite."
The subject is seen again in four days and the findings
noted.If the area about the injection is reddened,the subject
is liable to contract diphtheria,under proper exposure.
We have thus a test of remarkable value.These who are
non-immune or liable to take diphtheria can be made immune
or unable to take diphtheria by injecting into the upper arm
a toxin-antitoxin mixture (about fifteen drops)once a
week for three weeks;gradual immunity is produced and is
complete in about two months.The immunity lasts for years
and perhaps a lifetime.It is earnestly hoped that all Cohasset
citizens and especially parents on whom lies a double responsi-
bility will inform themselves fully on this subject and avail
themselves of this means of protection from diphtheria.
100
It lies entirely with the citizens of Cohasset either to
exterminate diphtheria or to sit down and await its onslaught.

IRVING F.SYLVESTER,Chairman,
EDWARD L.HIGGINS,Secretary,

REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF MILK AND VINEGAR
To the Cohasset Board of Health.
Gentlemen:I have taken numerous samples of milk and
caused them to be examined.The analysis shows Cohasset is
fortunate in having milk of standard qtiality.
I have examined vinegar from all the local merchants
and it all was practically up to legal requirements.
Ten (10)licenses to sell and deliver milk were issued by
me during 1921.
A license was refused to Mr.A.A.Davenport,of Cedar
Street to sell and deliver milk in Cohasset after receiving the
analysis of the water supply on his farm,which was condemned
by the State Department of Public Health.
He appealed from my decision to the State Department of
Public Health and a date was set for a hearing.
Board of Health,Cohasset,Mass.
Gentlemen:In accordance with the provisions of Section 41
of Chapter 94 of the General Laws,this department gave a
hearing on September 6,1921,upon the appeal of Mr.A.A.
Davenport of Cohasset,from the action of Mr.Irving F.
Sylvester,Milk Inspector of Cohasset,in refusing to grant the
said Mr.Davenport a license to sell and deliver milk in Cohasset.
This matter was again considered at a meeting of the Public
Health Council of the Department held on October 11,1921,
and after consideration of all the evidence submitted it was
voted that the action of the Milk Inspector of the Cohasset
Board of Health in refusing Mr.Davenport a license to sell
and deliver milk be approved.
It was also further voted that if upon another investigation
by the Division of Sanitary Engineering of this department the
water supply of Mr.Davenport's farm is satisfactory and the
102
cellar well filled,that the Cohasset Board of Health be so
notified and the Board be then requested to issue a license to
Mr.Davenport.
I am enclosing herewith a copy of a communication which
is going forward to Mr.Davenport relative to this matter.
Very truly yours,
EUGENE R.KELLEY,
Commissioner of Public Health.
Respectfully submitted,
IRVING F.SYLVESTER

IMPORT OF THE DIRECTORS OF THE PAUL PRATT
MEMORIAL LIBRARY
We herewith submit our report for the year ending Decem-
ber 31,1921.
The past year has been one of added interest shown in
the Ubrary as indicated by the increased circulation of books.
This is true not only of the central library but applies also to the
branches in the Beechwood district and at North Cohasset.
Especially gratifying,as an evidence of interest in library
purposes,is the bequest to the Cohasset Free Pubhc Library by
Miss Ella Bates,of one hundred dollars for the purchase of
books for the Beechwood branch,and a committee representa-
tive of the district has been appointed to advise in the carrying
out of this bequest.
Very little has been required in the way of repairs for the
past year,an improvement of the basement lighting and the
installation of additional radiation in the rotunda being
the principal items.
We note with regret the withdrawal from the board of the
Rev.George A.Mark,occasioned by his relinquishing the pasto-
rate of the First Parish,so that our board is at present
lacking in full membership.
Subjoined are the reports of the Librarian and Treasurer,
which show in detail the working of the library and the financial
transactions involved in its maintenance.

REPORT OF THE HIGHWAY SURVEYOR
Cohasset,January 17,1922.
To the Citizens of Cohasset;
Following is my report as Highway Surveyor for the past
year:
The carting through Doane Street towards the Hingham
line,of wood,logs,etc.,was very heavy from the early fall of
1920 into January,1921,causing very deep ruts,and as the
weather was mild your surveyor started work on January 7.
Over three hundred and fifty loads of stone and gravel were
used in this work until it was finished.
After the spring opened the other part of Doane Street
was built by the penetration system;nine hundred and thirty
yards of stone,two sizes,were used;also one thousand five
hundred and sixty yards were built on Margin Street by the
same method.
Two very deep catch basins were built and three hundred
and eighty feet of glazed drain pipe were laid as outlets;this
draining must be done before the macadam is started.Six
new catch basins were built and a number of old ones repaired.
Nearly all the streets were covered with tarvia and heavy oil.
The K.P.patching method we use is used mostly by all super-
intendents of streets and highway surveys.About forty-one
thousand six hundred gallons of tarvia,heavy oil and patching
material were used last year.The culvert on Spring Street
near the James Pratt Corner so called was taken up and a
twenty-four inch corrugated iron pipe thirty-six feet long was
laid in its place and covered with a foot of concrete.This
work costs a little more than usual but it is a permanent job.
All the drains that cross under the streets are being built with
corrugated pipes as glazed pipes freeze in the winter and burst.
The sidewalks about town were covered with the usual amount
of stone dust,screened gravel and cinders.
112
The part of Jerusalem Road that was built over is standing
excellently under the severe test it is getting,notwithstanding
other reports.The severe storm of July gutted our streets that
are constructed over hills so badly that the two thousand dollars
that was appropriated to finish other work had to be used in
repairing these streets as some of them were practically impas-
sible.The new road grader was used to a great advantage;all
of the gutters were cleaned with this very useful implement.
The stone crusher is kept in first-class condition and is ready
with very little expense to commence work.About one thousand,
two hundred tons of stone were crushed last year.The steam
roller is in perfect condition also.
In Memoriam
It is with regret that we record the death of Alson S.
Richardson who died in December.He was employed for many
years by the highway department of this town,was always
faithful and efficient and died mourned by all citizens who have
had the pleasure of his acquaintance.
In conclusion your highway surveyor and his associates
take this opportunity to thank all for their many acts of courtesy
and kindness in the past.

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF MOTH WORK
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen;
Immediately after being appointed I took up the work of
creosoting gypsy-moth egg clusters and cutting brown-tail
webs from the trees.This work continued up to the spraying
sea,son.
This Town,a^well as other towns,was badly infested
with tent caterpillar nests,which were very conspicuous along
the roadsides and as they feed earlier and faster than the gypsy
or brown-tail my first duty was to clear the roadsides of them,
which I did.
Spraying was then begun for the destruction of gypsy and
brown-tail caterpillars and very good results were obtained,as
was shown later on,when the 1921 fall work of creosoting
commenced.Gypsy-moth egg clusters and brown-tail webs
were not nearly as numerous,therefore the Town is at the
present time in a very clean condition regarding these pests.
After the spraying season there was a lot of work done
mowing bushes along the roadsides,within the boundaries.
This work v/as done mostly on Pond Street,King Street,Beech-
wood Street,Doane Street and Forest Avenue.
The engines on both spraying machines have been
thoroughly overhauled and are in perfect condition for the
spraying season of 1922.The private liability is not as large
by far this season as it was last as some of the largest estates in
Town were not sprayed this year;also I did not cha^rge for
scout work on private property where no nests were found,even
though we did look their places over.
Respectfully submitted,
JOSEPH E.GRASSIE.

REPORT OF THE OVERSEERS OF THE POOR
The affairs of this part of the town's work have been
carefully conducted and all calls have been properly attended to.
We have been able to keep within our appropriation and
have only a small amount of unpaid bills,viz.:$195.46,these
being received too late to be paid before the close of our books.
The Cohasset Home under the same able and efficient
management has been well conducted.
We shall be obliged to repair the ceiling in the Home
basement and paint the exterior of the house and barn.
The Overseers will have estimates to submit at the proper
time.
Dr.Hinchhffe was appointed Town Physician for one year
in May.
Miss Mary E.McKeown continues her ministrations as
district nurse and we recommend an appropriation to assist
in paying her salary.
We recommend an appropriation of $13,000.00 for this
department for 1922 exclusive of repairs and painting.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
The report of the School Committee for 1921 with the
financial statement of the treasurer is herewith submitted to
the Town.Full information with respect to the school work will
be found in the reports of the Superintendent of Schools,the
Principal of the High School and the supervisors of depart-
mental work.
The change in our system of superintendence has worked
out in a most satisfactory manner,and the Committee has
words of heartiest praise for Mr.Collins'work as Superinten-
dent.A distinct advance has been noted throughout the year
not only in the grade of work done but also in the school spirit
and general morale.This has been evidenced by less problems
of discipline,a gradual awakening to the fact that indifferent and
careless work can not be expected to win satisfactory scholar-
ship marks or grade promotion,a liveHer interest,keener
competition and better sportsmanship in athletic activities,
and a belief,shared by scholars and teachers alike,that the
schools are on the up grade.
It will be seen by the financial report that the cost of
moving and renovating the G.A.R.building exceeded by
$560 the estimates that were given at the special town
meeting.After the building was moved it was found that it
needed re-shingling.This was done at a cost of S400,and
this together with other minor alterations,not anticipated in
the original estimates,accounts for the additional cost.This
building,however,makes available for school uses,two well-
lighted and comfortable schoolrooms which are of indispensable
value in relieving the immediate pressure in the Osgood building.
But the problem of larger school accommodations has not been
solved.It has simply been postponed.
The budget for.1922 is several thousand dollars larger than
last year,if the special amount raised for moving and renovat-
ing the G.A.R.building is excluded.The items which are
mainly responsible for this increase are three.First,a new
item is added to the budget for tuition.The state law compels
the Town to pay the tuition of pupils who attend certain
approved trades schools.Very few Cohasset pupils in the past
have availed themselves of this provision,but during the
present school year twelve pupils have been enrolled at the
Quincy Trades School and $683 was paid by the Town for
tuition in 1921.It is estimated that $1,500 will be needed for
this purpose in 1922.Half of the sum expended for tuition is
repaid later by the State but the reimbursement comes direct
to the town and is not available for school purposes.
Secondly,the experts who have surveyed the Osgood School
building from time to time have called attention to a serious
defect in its construction,viz.,the lack of sufficient windows
to give adequate light for school work.This defect can be
largely remedied by putting in new windows.The Committee
asks for $1,000 to be expended in putting in new windows in
rooms where there is greatest need of more light.
The third item of increased expense is the matter of
salaries.In line with the general movement throughout the
country the salaries of our teachers have been steadily advanced
during the past four or five years.This has been absolutely
necessary in order to secure and retain the best teachers avail-
able.The estimate for salaries is based on what is actually
being paid the teachers for the present school year.It is not
anticipated that further increases in any general way will be
necessary,as teachers'salaries have reached a fairly stable
condition.
The Committee calls attention to the fact that the net
cost of the schools for the coming year will be about $6,250
less than the figures submitted in the budget,for the town will
receive from the state treasurer under the provision of the
State School Fund Law more than $4,000,as reimbursement
for salaries paid during the year ending June 30,1922;
the proceeds from the school lunch will amount to approxi-
mately $1,500;and half of the amount expended for tuition
will be returned by the State.
Respectfully submitted,
THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the School Committee and Citizens of Cohasset:
I herewith submit to your committee and through you to
the citizens of Cohasset the annual report of the superinten-
dent of schools.
The year has been most satisfactory in many respects.
There have been few interruptions,and no serious epidemics to
interfere with the work of the schools.The most severe problem
we have had to deal with has been the numerous changes in the
teaching force.There is no longer an actual shortage of teachers
in Massachusetts,but the supply is still so limited that experi-
enced teachers who have shown proficiency in the work are
at a premium,and can be secured for vacancies in a town like
Cohasset only by paying our maximum salary.
Resignations and Elections
In January Miss Nash resigned and Mrs.Schulmeyer,a
teacher of broad experience,was engaged as substitute for the
remainder of the year.A change of residence in the spring
compelled her to give up the work,and Miss Hennessey,a
graduate of Fitchburg Normal,was secured as substitute for the
remainder of the year.
In June,Mr.Harper and Miss Bray,high school teachers,
and Miss Gushee,Miss O'Malley,Miss Harrington and Miss
Collins,teachers in the grades,resigned.Three of these teachers
accepted positions in Chelsea at higher salaries,Miss Collins
entered Bridgewater Normal School,Mr.Harper took up
advanced work,and Miss Bray wished to teach nearer her
home.
The position of sub-master in the high school was filled by
the election of Mr.James Webster Doyle,a graduate of Boston
University,Mr.Doyle teaches history and has charge of the
athletics.We feel we were most fortunate in the selection of
9
Mr.Doyle for this position.Miss Leita L.Sawyer was elected
to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Miss Bray.
Miss Sawyer is a graduate of Boston University,has had suc-
cessful experience in the schools of Dover and Townsend,
and conies to us most highly recommended.She is teaching
Latin and English and has charge of the girls'athletics.
Miss Priscilla Moore,a graduate of Bates College,with
one year's experience in the junior high at Revere,was engaged
for the English work in grades seven and eight.Miss Dorothy
Kennett,a graduate of the four years'course at Salem Normal,
was engaged for the work in arithmetic in grades seven,eight
and nine.Miss Moore is room teacher of one of the seventh
grade rooms and Miss Kennett is in charge of the other seventh.
We feel that with Miss Bates,Miss Moore,and Miss Kennett
in charge of the departmental work in the seventh and eighth
grades we are obtaining most satisfactory results.
Miss Helen F.Buckley,a graduate of Bridgewater Normal,
was elected for the sixth grade position.Miss Buckley the past
year was principal of the graded school at Raynham.
Miss Helen L.Brown,a graduate of Bridgewater Normal,
was elected as teacher of the fifth grade.Miss Brown is a
graduate of Bridgewater Normal,and has had successful
experience in the schools of Northampton.
Miss Grace L.Morton,a graduate of Farmington Normal,
with several years experience in schools of Maine and Raynham,
Mass.,was elected for work in grades one and two.This position
was made necessary by the crowded condition of the first and
second grades.
.It will be seen from the above that thirty-three per cent
of our teaching force are serving their first year in the schools
of Oohasset.This is in itself a serious problem,one we should
not be required to meet often.Notwithstanding this fact,
the work has gone on in a most satisfactory manner,and a fine
.
spirit of co-operation exists in the teaching force.
Salaries of Teachers
The question of resignations and the filling of vacancies
naturally brings up the subject of salaries.The salaries of the
10
teachers in both the high school and the grades were raised last
September at the rate of $150 per year.
The following are the salaries now paid:principal of high
and junior high school,$2500;manual training instructor,
$2100;sub-master of high school,$1600;three teachers in
the high school,$1600 (one of these receives $100 additional
for special work);two,$1500;and one,$1400;the teacher of
music,$550.In the junior high grades one teacher receives a
salary of $1450;one,$1300;and one,$1200.In the lower
grades three receive $1350;one,$1300;two,$1250;and three,
$1200.
In comparison with other towns,the following data
secured December 1 shows the relative maximum salaries in
towns similar to Cohasset:
Maximum salaries paid elementary teachers:Milton,
$1550;Concord,$1500;Needham,$1500;Wellesley,$1600
Lexington,$1500;Walpole,$1500;Winchester,$1500
Reading,$1400;Hingham,$1350;Manchester,$1500
Cohasset,$1350.
Maximimi salaries paid high school teachers:Milton
$1700;Concord,$1800;Needham,$1650;Wellesley,$2200
Lexington,$1800;Walpole,$1700;Winchester,$1800
Reading,$1800;Hingham,$1600;Manchester,$1800
Cohasset,$1600.
Only two of the towns mentioned,Manchester and Welles-
ley,have a higher valuation per pupil in net average member-
ship.This is the accepted standard of the ability of a town to
pay for education.
It will be seen from the maximum salaries paid in the other
suburban residential towns that we have not yet reached the
standard set by these towns.•
New Building
The new building is now completed and is a temporary
relief from the congestion in the lower grades.In it we have
two well lighted,well ventilated,and well heated rooms.
One is being used for the combination'first and second grade
divisions,which relieves the congestion in these two grades.
11
The other is used for the drawing classes.The old mechanical
drawing room is thereby released for the use of the Frei^ich and
mathematics classes.The old free hand drawing room is not
in use,nor should ever a room so poorly lighted and ventilated
have been used as a class room.
We must bear in mind that this is only a small step toward
correcting the building deficiencies.In the Survey of the Schools
of Cohasset made by Professor Johnson,it was pointed out that
the Osgood building comes far from serving its present use.
The building is badly planned in the arrangement and number
of windows.The adaptations made to meet the increased
enrollment have increased the faults.
In the lighting of schoolrooms the light should come
preferably from the left,or if a part of the light comes from
the back,the stronger light should come from the left.Pupils
should not sit facing windows.With respect to the direction
from which the strongest light comes,only two rooms are
commendable,two are moderately fatilty,and the rest have
serious defects of lights and shadows.The rooms also lack the
amount of glass area required.Those on the first floor have
the following percentages of deficiency in window area :24 per
cent,20 per cent,10 per cent,24 per cent,20 per cent,26 per
cent,and on the second floor,24 per cent,20 per cent,10 per
cent,24 per cent,10 per cent and 18 per cent.I am recommend-
ing that in the general appropriation this year an appropriation
of SI 000 be made to be used toward correcting these deficiencies.
The deficiencies cannot wholly be eliminated,owing to the
depth of the rooms which greatly exceeds the standard depth
from the windows,but conditions can be greatly improved.
There is immediate need of other additional room.The
school is without an assembly hall and gymnasium,a condition
which should not exist in a town like Cohasset.The chemical
and physical laboratory is ill fitted for the needs of the school.
The manual training room is wholly dependent on artificial
light.The lumber and machine room takes up space that
should be utilized as recreation rooms.The corridor space
leading to the toilets is altogether too small.We have forty
pupils in each of the fourth,fifth and sixth grade rooms.Any
12
additional increase in enrollment will call for another teacher
for the .third and fourth grades,and another for the fifth and
sixth grades.
An addition of two rooms would release the assembly hall
for assembly and ph3'sical training uses.Another room would
meet the laboratory needs.Two more are needed for the work
in manual training,and within a verv^short time,two more for
the relief of grades three to six.Five rooms and a g^onnasium
are needed now,and two or three additional rooms soon.
The citizens should be prepared to decide not later than
one year from now whether school accommodations should be
added room by room,or whether a comprehensive plan should
be followed which would care for the schools for a period of
years.
Expenditures and Estimate
Attention is called to the tables showing the expenditures
for 1921 and the estimate for 1922.Three items should be given
especial attention.The increased estimate for salaries is made
necessary by the increases in salary"made last September,which
were in operation only four months of the year.To maintain
the same rate of salaries and to grant the usual increases to the
teachers who have not reached the maximum mil require the
amount asked for.
Under repairs,one thousand dollars is asked for to be
expended in additional windows as pre\dously mentioned.
Under tuition,there is an estimate of Sl,oOO for trade school
tuition.At present there are ten students in the Quincy
Trade School and two more were in attendance a part of the
year.The law requires that the tuition be paid by the town,
the State later reimbursing the town one half of the cost.
This reimbursement goes into the general fund of the towTi
and cannot be used by the School Department.
Yoiir attention is called to the receipts of the School Depart-
ment.It will be noted that the receipts for the past year
amounted to 86,091.86,making the net cost of the schools
exclusive of the new building $48,281.84.
13
School Attendance
Attention is called to the table showing the age and grade
distribution for September.The total attendance is two less
than one year ago which is accounted for by the fact that ten
students were in attendance at the Quincy Trade School.There
were only three pupils in school who were three or more years
retarded in school work.One hundred and sixty-six pupils were
under the normal age for their grade and forty-six were over
the normal age for their grade.The large number of under-
aged pupils is a strong indication that promotions have not
been made difficult in the past.
Promotions
We are trying to stiffen the requirements for promotion.
As I mentioned last year in my report,it is a serious matter for
a pupil to remain two years in the same grade,but it is a far
more serious matter for a pupil to receive promotion without
earning it.No pupil will be promoted who fails to receive a
passing mark in two major subjects.If a pupil fails in not more
than two subjects and is able to make up his deficiencies in the
summer school he may receive a trial promotion.
•
Summer School
A large and very successful summer school was conducted
last summer.The teachers were Mr.Morrison,Miss Stanley,
Miss Wing and Miss McMahon.There were about eighty
pupils in attendance.Arithmetic and English were the subjects
taught.All pupils who cared to come were admitted,but no
pupil who had failed in more than two subjects could gain a
trial promotion by such attendance.
Special Subjects
I wish to call attention to the excellent work done in
manual training,household arts and drawing.The fact that
the cost of these departments may be large for a town the size
14
of Cohasset is justified by the results obtained.We have seen
fit the present year to secure the services of Mrs.Stevens,
the supervisor of music,for an extra half day each week,so that
she may be able to take full charge of the music in grades seven
and eight as well as in the High School,thereby relieving the
room teachers for other class work
The attendance of several boys at the Trade School at
Quincy has temporarily reduced the size of the classes in
manual training.We are informed by the Trade School that
no new pupils will be admitted next September,which will
require that we care for the needs of such pupils at home.A
lathe would materially increase the efficiency of the department.
Athletics
The superintendent is a firm beHever in the importance of
physical training and athletic sports in the schools.The past
year we have endeavored to make some progress in this line.
The school was represented in the spring by a baseball team
that made a very creditable showing.In addition there was a
team from the seventh and eighth grades,and a freshman team,
each of which played several games both at home and in the
neighboring towns.•
Baseball was also played by the girls,and there were several
interesting games played between the girls of the Osgood School
and the schools in Hingham.
In the fall the Osgood School was represented by a football
team in the Junior Triangular League which was composed of
two teams from the Hingham Schools and the one from
Cohasset.
At present the school has two very good basketball teams.
The interest of the public in this sport is evident from the
attendance at the home games.
The leadership of Mr.Doyle and Miss Sawyer in the
athletics should be warmly commended
When the baseball season again arrives,we shall call upon
Mr.Meyer and at least one of the women teachers in addition
to Miss Sawyer to assist in supervising this most popular sport.
15
We expect that the school will be represented by no less than six
baseball teams.
No class room instruction can equal the athletic sports in
emphasizing the value of health habits and proper physical
development.
Auxiliary Agencies
I wish to express my appreciation of the spirit of service
shown by the Parent-Teachers'Association,and the Social
Service League in the work of the schools.We solicit the
interest and co-operation of every organization that stands for
the promotion of the public welfare.
Looking Forward
In planning for the immediate needs of the school our
present condition needs most serious consideration,but in all
public work -the future must be considered none the less than
the present.A look ten years ahead or even twenty-five years
ahead is not visionary,it is common sense.
The kind of a town we will have twenty-five 3^ears from
now will be the kind of a town we are willing to pay for in the
educational advantages offered.Cohasset has no future but that
of a residential town.It has an abundance of attractive sites
for homes.It is not too far from Boston to be attractive to
business men as a place to live in the year round.
The first question that is asked by one contemplating
locating in a community is in regard to the efficiency of the
schools.In the building program which must come up next
year,the question must be considered from every angle,and
no plan adopted that will not be a fit unit of the educational
equipment ten or twenty years from now.
Conclusion
In conclusion I wish to express to the citizens my appre-
ciation of the interest that is shown in the schools and the spirit
•of co-operation that is so evident.It is clearly obvious that
16
you appreciate the significance of the school system in a com-
munity.To the teachers who are so zealously serving the
community I am grateful for the fine spirit that is always
manifested in the work we are doing together;and to the
School Committee I wish to express my appreciation for the
frank and serious consideration that has been given to all sug-
gestions I may have made and for the confidence that has been
expressed in my work.

REPORT OF HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
Mr.Orvis K.Collins,
Superintendent of Schools.
Dear Sir:I submit herewith my fourth annual report
as principal of the Cohasset High School.
Our enrollment for the year 1921-1922 is one hundred and
nineteen,divided as follows:entering class,thirty-one;second
year,forty-two;third year,twenty-one;fourth year,twenty-
five.This is a slightly smaller number than last year,due to a
smaller entering class,six boys entering the Quincy Industrial
School from last year's ninth grade and the removal from town
of several famihes.
For years the free-hand drawing room in the Osgood School
has been the subject of unfavorable comment of all who have
visited the building and have seen classes at work there.It
was small in size and very poorly ventilated.Its use by large
classes has been at the expense of the health of those obliged
to use it.The addition of the new building gives the art
department a room which is well hghted and ventilated,one
which has been comfortable even in extremely cold weather
and which promises to be cool in the spring and summer months.
All the drawing classes of the high school,both free-hand and
mechanical meet in the new building,and are enabled to work
to much better advantage than heretofore.The room vacated
is used as little as possible,a class of five using it only two
periods in the week.At present the wireless club is installing
its instruments there and is planning to use it for weekly meet-
ings.The removal of desks from the room formerly used for
mechanical drawing,the installation of additional blackboards
and tablet arm chairs has provided another recitation room for
high school use,well Hghted and ventilated,suitable for classes
not exceeding twenty pupils.
21
There have been several minor changes in the curriculum.
The course in Business Law,given for some years,has been
replaced by a course in Business English.It has been thought
wise to give the two bookkeeping courses in successive years
instead of in the second and fourth years as heretofore,and this
plan will be put into operation next year.The first year courses
in General Science and Community Civics are given three
periods per week during the entire year instead of five periods
per week for a half year each.Under the direction of Mr.Meyer,
some of the boys of the ninth and tenth grades have been work-
ing on a course in practical electricity.Theory and practice
have gone hand in hand,the boys having constructed motors,
traced circuits,repaired electric bells and learned some of the
principles of correct wiring.
In addition to the regular high school baseball team,a
junior team was organized last spring.A league,comprising
teams from the two grammar schools in Hull,the Lincoln
School in Hingham and the Osgood School,was organized,each
team playing eight games.Teams were also formed among
the grls and in addition to class games,some games with girls'
teams from other schools were played.Mr.James W.Doyle,
in addition to his work as History teacher,has charge of athletics
among the boys of the school,and Miss Leita Sawyer,teacher
of English and Latin,has charge of the girls.Under the joint
direction of Mr.Doyle and Miss Sawyer,an interclass meet
was held in the fall.Events were arranged for both boys and
girls and although the participants were handicapped by
inadequate grounds the meet was a success,the tenth grade
winning by a good margin.Both basketball teains are having a
successful season,having won a majority of the games played.
An effort has been made to provide school activities,other
than those of the class room,for a larger number of pupils and
especially along lines other than athletic.To this end,the last
period on Tuesday has been set aside for club activities.At
present,we have a wireless club,dramatic club,girls'glee club,
and a poultry club.Plans are under Way for a school orchestra,
a college club,arts and crafts club and a club composed of those
interested in a school paper.Each is or will be under the direc-
22
tion of a teacher or competent leader and it is hoped that they
may be of assistance in helping some pupils to decide on their
vocation in life as well as to afford opportunities for puriDoseful
activities.
From time to time,speakers have come to the assemblies
of the high school,presenting opportunities of the various
vocations and some progress in the field of vocational guidance
has been made.
My previous reports have called attention to the needs of
the high school,such as better facilities for work in physical
education,both indoors and out,an assembly hall which may
be used for the social activities of the school as well as for
dramatics,increased laboratory facilities for the science work of
the first two years,more nearly adequate lunt^h room accommo-
dations and better quarters for the manual training department.
These needs are still to be met and until such time,the work of
our high school will be handicapped as measured by the newer
educational standards.
Respectfully submitted,
ARTHUR C.MORRISON,
Principal.

REPORT OF THE ART DEPARTMENT
M.Orvis K.Collins,
Superintendent of Schools.
Dear Sir:In accordance with your request I submit for
your approval the annual report of the art department for
the year nineteen hundred and twenty-one.
The usual annual exhibition of drawings and handicraft
was held in the Town Hall on the afternoon and evening of
June 26.Much credit is due to the teachers of the first,second
and third grades and of the Beech wood School for the excellent
results obtained in those grades.
A noteworthy event which occurred in December was the
removal of this department to new quarters in the annex which
has been erected on the school grounds.Our new room has
distinct advantages which we enjoy and appreciate.Here the
classes of the free-hand and mechanical drawing departments
of the High School meet and this centralization of work and
materials will result in a saving of time.The lighting is good,
making the use of artificial light unnecessary except on very
dark days.This feature is'appreciated especially by the boys
who have worked,heretofore,under very trying lighting
conditions.The problem of ventilation which was a serious
one in our studio is eliminated in this new room.The greater
amount of floor space makes it possible to seat larger classes
and the tables may be arranged in more convenient manner.
These and other advantages are sure to promote greater
efficiency and to produce larger results than have been possible
under less favorable conditions.
For the spirit of co-operati,on and helpfulness which you
have shown,I desire to express sincere appreciation.
Respectfully submitted,
FLORENCE E.KRAUS.
January,1922.

REPORT OF HOUSEHOLD ARTS DEPARTMENT
Mr.O.K.Collins,
Superintendent of Schools.
Dear Sir:I submit for your approval my report as super-
visor of Household Arts in the Cohasset public schools.
In September the work of the seventh grade was changed
from sewing to cooking.The girls now receive instructions in
sewing for three years and in cooking for three years.
"Learn by doing "might be taken as a motto for this
department and it is hoped that this "doing "in school may
help the girls to appreciate the work necessary in the home and
contribute their share toward it.
The girls in the fifth grade make their sewing equipment
and a petticoat;the sixth grade make cooking caps and aprons
and a princess slip or nightgown.
The girls of the High School classes make various articles
of wearing apparel,their final achievement being a dress.
An exhibit of this work was held at commencement in
Town Hall in conjunction with the exhibits of the Manual
Training and Art Departments.
The seventh grade receive instruction in simple cooking
and study the effects of different foods on our bodies.
The upper grades learn the serving of foods as well as the
cooking of them by serving in the school lunch room which is
run in connection with this department.
From January to June of 1921,the lunch room co-operated
with the Social Service in serving milk to underweight children
of the lower grades.The Social Service furnished the milk,
the children to receive it were recommended by the school
nurse and the milk was distributed every school day at 10.00
a.m.and 12.00 m.by the assistant of the lunch room.
Between fifteen and twenty children received milk and in
most cases a gain in weight was reported.
28
At all times the department supervises the lunches of the
little children,supplementing them with soup or cocoa when
inadequate or the weather is cold and even furnishing limches
for children who for some reason were unable to bring them.
In closing I wish to thank you for your co-operation and to
express to the School Committee my appreciation of their help-
ful attitude toward this department.
Respectfully submitted,
HELEN C.WELCH.

REPORT OF INDUSTRIAL ARTS DEPARTMENT
Mr.Onds K.Collins,
Superintendent of Schools.
Dear Sir:I hereby respectfully submit to you my report
as director of the Industrial Arts Departm.ent for 1921.
"Education is a natural net an artificial process;it is a
development from within,not an accretion from without;it
comes through the workings of natural instincts and interests
and not through response to external force;it is an expression
of natural powers,not an aquisition of information,it is life
itself,not a preparation for a future state remote in interests
and characteristics from the life of childhood."—Rousseau.
In harmony with the spirit of the above definition of
education,the emphasis in the Industrial Arts Department
during the past year has been laid on the development of boys,
rather than on the construction of projects.The project has
been emploA^ed as an agenc}^to challenge the boys to use their
natural latent powers,which tends to "put their feet upon
the high road that leads on."Four different activities,each basic
of many vocations,are now open to the boys,for the broadening
of general culture and for tryouts in occupations.Woodwork,
printing,metal work and electrical work are making their
appeal.A nimiber of boys have definitely decided to enter
mechanical or technical trades,and it would not be difficult to
point out some other boys whose contact with Industrial Arts
in our shop have convinced them that their greatest usefulness
lies in other fields.
Our school paper the ''Beacon "which was first issued last
year has doubled its size and about reached the limit for our
pressroom facilities.The classes in electrical work are making
small motors,and some are trying their hand at building
dvnamos and transformers.
30
Ten Cohasset boys are now at the Quincy Industrial
School,learning trades under state supervision.It is the
opinion of leaders in education that vocational education is
only in its infancy.Owing to the crowded condition at the
Quincy School no additional Cohasset boys can be accommo-
dated either this or next year.It would be safe to predict
that the Town must look elsewhere for that type of education.
The time may come when Cohasset together with other nearby
towns will establish a trade school for both boys and girls.The
State believes in it to the extent of paying one half of the main-
tenance of such a school,including teachers'salaries,supplies,
etc.
The interests and the quality of abilities of the great
majority of our boys do not point to institutions of academic
education,but rather to mechanical and technical.I believe
that an appeal along this line,with increased periods for shop
work,machine and architectural drawing and mathematics
for entrance requirements to higher institutions would meet
with response.The use of a lathe would correlate with such a
course,and I hope it may be possible for us to secure one this
year;it would be a stronger factor in the development of boys
than any other machine now in the shop,excepting possibly the
printing press.
I desire to express m}'appreciation of your sympathetic
supervision and co-operation.
Respectfully submitted,
M.H.MEYER.

REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
The experience of the past two years has demonstrated
the value of frequent inspection of pupils during the existence
of contagious disease.Instead of closing schools,they have
gone on without interruption and with inspection.Isolated
cases of scarlet fever and diphtheria have occurred,but in no
case has an epidemic of either disease resulted.The use of the
Schick test for diphtheria,which our Board of Health is now
introducing,promises to make diphtheria a very rare disease
or even obsolete.
There is great need at the present time of more careful
supervision of pupils by their parents in the home.The innum-
erable evening attractions are so tempting that pupils fail to
get sufficient sleep during the important period of growth
and development.Loss of sleep and dissipation of energy
react upon their studies and diminish their vigor as well as their
powers of resistance to disease.
The proportion of pupils who can swim is increasing,
but not as rapidly as it ought.Cohasset's facilities for sea
bathing in the summer are unrivalled and every pupil of ten
years or older should have the benefit of this healthful and
refreshing exercise,together with the personal safety swimming
affords and the ability to save life in case of accident.
With grateful recognition of the co-operation of the
committee,superihtendent,teachers and the school nurse.
Respectfully submitted,
OLIVER H.HOWE,M.D.

REPORT OF CLUB WORK
Mr.Orvis K.Collins,
Superintendent of Schools.
Dear Sir:I hereby respectfully submit to you my report
as director of Club Work for the season of 1921.
Gardeners labored under unusual difficulties last year.
Draught and heavy rains alternated during May and June,
retarding and injuring gardens on the high and low lands.The
majority of the junior farmers,however,finished their project
and exhibited at the Town Hall in September.
It was a banner year for poultr}^and pigs,as may be seen
from the many prizes won outside of Cohasset,a record of
which follows.
At the Marshfield Fair,Murray Perr\^won a second and
two third prizes on White Rocks,and in competition with
adults he won a first and second on beans,and a second prize
on cucumbers.Robert Perry received a second and two third
prizes on Rhode Island Reds.Charles Henry was awarded a
third on White Leghorns,and Thomas Valine,two thirds on
White Cochin Bantams and Silver Spangled Hamburgs.
At the Norfolk County Fair at Walpole,Murray Perry won
a first prize on a pen of White Rocks,and five first prizes on
vegetables as follows:individual collection,beets,beans,com
and tomatoes.Robert Perry was awarded one first,one third
and one fourth prize on Rhode Island Reds.Leland Towle
won a first and two seconds on White Leghorns.Arnold Peter-
son was awarded a second prize on a pen of Barred Plymouth
Rocks,a first on onions and a second each on beans and carrots.
Thomas Valine won a first and a second on his Hamburgs,a
first on Cochin Bantams and a second prize on his Berkshire
pig-
At the Brockton Fair pigs only were exhibited.Out of
33
four boys exhibiting Hampshire pigs,Arthur Brassill won the
first prize,John Davenport,the second,and John Avers,the
third.The fourth,a boar exhibited by Robert Pern-,won a
special first prize.Herbert Bates received a first special on a
litter of Duroac Jerseys,and Thomas Valine won a second on
his Berkshire.
x\t the recent Boston Poultr\^Show,Thomas Valine was
awarded a first,a second and two thirds on his Hamburgs and
Cochin Bantams.Murray Perr\'won a fourth prize on a White
Rock Cock,and Robert Perry took first prize on a Rhode Island
Red hen in competition with forty-three others and also a
second on a pen of Reds.
The boys are to be congratulated on winning forty-six
prizes outside of Cohasset,representing a total of seventy-six
dollars in cash.
The poultrv^club of thirteen boys,owning a total of one
hundred fifty-three birds,during the winter meets monthly in
the Manual Training room,where the selection and care of
poultry is discussed.Mr.Nodine,the state poultry leader,has
instructed the boys in caponizing,and Mr.Dizer,the County
leader,has performed two operations on birds,each for a differ-
ent common ailment of poultr\\
The work of the canning club was not up to the standard
of the last few years,due in part to the graduation from school
and the dropping out,of our best canners.During the simimer
the club meet twice a month at the Bates Building.The girls
attended the Sectional Canning ^Meeting at Weymouth in
August,and enjoyed an outing at Nantasket Beach.The club
decorated and entered a float in the fourth of July parade,
winning a fourth prize.All but one girl exhibited the required
amount at the fall exhibit.
Six boys and girls,prize winners from last year,enjoyed
the week in camp at Massachusetts Agricultural College.They
were Miss Marion Curley,Miss 'Evelyn Martell,Frank McLean,
Murray Perr\',Thomas Valine and Herbert Bates.Frank
McLean took part in the stock judging and won a ram.
Thomas Valine,through his experience with live stock,has
definitely decided to follow Agriculture and Animal Husbandry
34
and is now attending the County Agricultural School at Wal-
pole.From latest reports he is doing good work there.
A group of boys and girls attended Achievement Day at
Walpole last April,and all club members over fourteen years
of age enjoyed Walpole Day in August.The trip was made in
autos.
The annual exhibit was held in the Town Hall on September
15.The evening program included opening remarks by Mr.
Orvis K.Collins,Superintendent of Schools,demonstration of
seed planting by Murray Perry,culling of poultry by Thomas
Valine,Arnold Peterson and Leland Towle.Reports of week
at Amherst by Miss Marion Curley and Miss Evelyn Martell.
An interesting and instructive address on "Work and Play"
by Mr.Clarence Barron,and the presentation of prizes by
Rev.F.V.Stanley,chairman of the school committee.
In behalf of the boys and girls I wish to thank the residents
and citizens whose generosity ihade possible the excellent
prizes,and those who gave time and thought to the success
of the work.A financial statement,and a complete list of the
winners at the Cohasset exhibit will be appended here.
Respectfully submitted,
M.H.MEYER,
January,1922.Director of Club Work.
