REPORT OF MILK INSPECTOR
Marstons Mills, Feb. 2, 1914
To the Board of Health of the Town of Barnstable:
I herewith submit a report of my work since June 1, 1913
Number of dairy inspections made, 270.
The samples of milk that I have analyzed have been fully
up to the usual standard.
The new sediment test, in addition to the butter fat test,
proves to be a most valuable help in noting any undue
amount of sediment, and when such sediment was found,
and attention was called to those responsible, the results
show a marked improvement on samples taken later.
Of course the most of the milk sold in town comes from
dairies where the barns are not what would be called up to
date as to construction, but nearly all of them are kept in as
fair a degree of cleanliness as could reasonably be expected.
The most that is requested of the producers of milk is,
that they have a clean cow stable, a clean cow and a clean
milker; and as it is estimated that 90 per cent. of the dirt in
milk gets there before it leaves the barn, it is plainly seen
that this combination is needed for best results.
Each year there are two or three milk exhibitions held in
the state, and many cities and towns offer prizes to the pro-
ducers sending in the highest scoring samples from their
city or town;and I would suggest that this town do the same,
because with a little friendly competition with other parts of
the state, .it surely encourages the production of good clean
milk.
Respectfully submitted,
GEO. T. MECARTA,
Inspector• of Milk.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
To the School Committee of Barnstable:
In accordance with the rules of the School Committee I
have the honor to submit my ninth annual report on the
public schools for the year ending December 31, 1913, the
same being the twenty-third in the series of Superintendents,
reports.
ENROLMENT, ATTENDANCE, NEW SCHOOL
LAWS, ETC.
The total enrolment for 1912-1913 showed an increase of
thirty and the average membership an increase of fifty over
the preceding year. The villages of West Barnstable,
Osterville and Hyannis showed the largest increases. Sev-
eral outbreaks of contagious diseases reduced the percentage
of daily attendance. Cases of actual truancy were rare, but
a few parents still show a regrettable indifference to en-
forcing strict attendance.
New laws in regard to school attendance and the employ-
ment of minors, designed to lessen the unquestioned evils of
factory child labor, are of such a sweeping character that
their literal enforcement in such a community as ours will
in some cases produce anything but desirable results. For
instance, the total prohibition of work in stores, even dur-
ing the summer vacation, for minors under fourteen, shuts
out profitable and not harmful employment to boys during a
period when it is especially needful that they be not wholly
118
idle. Our long summer vacation is distinctly demoralizing
to a large proportion of our school children; it can hardly
be made less so by closing still further the avenues to helpful
employment, and this at a time when church and state
authorities are rightly alarmed by the growth of the
hoodlum spirit—the direct outcome of idleness and street
loitering.
The new laws also call for an enormous amount of "red
tape" to be added to the excessive quantity which already
overburdens the administrative department of the schools. .
One example of this is found in the fact that any girl minor
between the ages of fourteen and sixteen, who leaves school
with the laudable intention of helping in the housework at
home must secure from the school authorities an elaborate
"Special Home Permit" card so to do. This card is but one
of seven used in connection with minors leaving school.
RESIGNATIONS.AND APPOINTMENTS
Mr. Taintor Parkinson, principal of the West Barnstable
school, Mr. L. A. Sheafe, principal of the Osterville school,
Miss M. Genieve Leonard, teacher of the Osterville primary
school, Miss Rebecca C. Lapham, assistant at the Santuit
school and Miss Ida.E. Finley of the primary department of
the Training School resigned during the year. All were
thoroughly faithful workers, Miss Finley having served
fourteen years and being considered by good judges one of
the most competent primary teachers in the state. She was
elected principal of the Framingham Normal Training School
at a large increase in salary. The vacancies were filled in
the above order as follows : Mr. F. A. Chapman ; Katherine
Y. Conlan, substitute, followed by D. Alva Crandall; Miss
Mary McConnel; Miss Gertrude L. Greene; Mabel K.
Baker, substitute, followed by Miss Laura J. Wright. Miss
McConnel and Mrs. Baker had previously served the town
with notable ability. Miss Olivia M. Phinney, of the
Osterville intermediate school, was granted leave of absence
for the fall term, her place being acceptably filled by Miss
Hazel M. Staples of Mansfield.
Mrs. Addie G. Crosby, at the end of her year's leave of
absence, found her health not equal to the strain of resuming
her school Nvork and Miss McConnel was continued in the
position. It is not easy to measure the debt owed by a
community to a teacher who for a generation gives unstint-
edly of her best to the young under her charge, and it seems
an injustice that so few communities provide for any sub-
stantial recognition of such indebtedness.
COMPARISON OF EXPENDITURES
An analysis of the expenditures for town purposes for
the last ten years, prepared by the town treasurer, shows
an increase in total expenditures of about 59 per cent.,
the expenditures for School Purposes showing almost ex-
actly the same ratio of increase. School Transportation
shows an increase of 90 per cent., and Road Repairs 183
per cent. Under School Purposes the expenditures for
janitor service and fuel slow a much greater relative in-
crease than those for teaching and supervision. Salary
increases in the last two have not kept pace even with the
minimum estimates of the increased cost of living.
Most of our Cape towns have for the last few years been
making some advance, in teachers' salaries, and until recent-
ly Barnstable was among the leaders in this respect. At
present however most of our teachers are paying from 20
per cent. to 40 per cent. more for board than neighboring
teachers, so that their net income is actually less than that '.
of the teachers in smaller and poorer towns. This adds to
the many unfavorable factors which render the securing and
retention of strong teachers almost impossible. Most cities
120
and towns of moderate size are now paying grade teachers
from 30 per cent. to 50 per cent. more than is paid by us.
The laws regarding the new state retirement association
go into effect next July and all teachers newly entering the
service of the schools will be obliged to pay into the fund
of the association from $35 to $100 annually. This means
that towns paying low salaries will be practically forced
to increase them to an amount equal to the payments re-
quired. Several towns in the county have already done so.
SCHOOL FINANCES
The close of the fiscal year of 1912 showed a deficiency
of $792.77 in the school department, that of 1913 shows a
deficiency of $670.15, the excess expenditures coaling under
"Transportation" and "Repairs."

ANALYSIS AND ESTIMATES
Expenditures
Rigid economy in miscellaneous expenses and a slightly
larger income than anticipated from tuition receipts en-
abled the expenditures for "School Purposes" to be kept
within the appropriation, in spite of the fact that the ex-
penditure for fuel exceeded the estimate by several hundred
*S!ate anthnritles differing as to placing a tuition charge of $150, the same appears
1n the report of the town treasurer,
121
dollars, totaling over $3,000. The average annual expen-
diture for fuel for the past two years has been $2,810.22,'
and if this indicates future expenditures for that purpose
suitable provision will have to be made therefor in the
appropriations for "School Purposes."
The expenditures for "Text-books and Supplies" were
kept within the appropriation by supplying only necessities.
The expenditure per capita was $1.98. The average for
Barnstable County is $2.19 per capita. Increased mem-
bership in the schools will call for some increase in the
appropriation for these items.
The quantity of miscellaneous "Repairs" found neces=
sary was much greater than anticipated and resulted in the
excess expenditure noted under that head. Included in
the repairs were the painting of the schoolroom walls in
the Barnstable building, a new fence and the thorough
renovation of the interior of the Cotuit grammar school
building, new Allen shades and the grading of the grounds
at Osterville, repairs on the crematory system and engine
at the Training School, a new steel ceiling in the English
room at the Barnstable hioh school and a new fence at the
Centerville school. A contribution of $40 toward the
expense of grading at Osterville was made from a private
fund donated some time ago for such a purpose.
Under "Transportation" increases were made in the
compensation of the drivers of the Marstons Mills, West
Barnstable and Hyannisport barges. Barnstable expends
the largest lump sum for this purpose of any town in the
state, but many towns expend more per capita of the school
population, one small town expending over thirty dollars
per head. The cost in Barnstable last year was approxi-
mately $6.40 per head of the school enrolment.
CLASSIFICATION OF ACCOUNTS
It should be understood in analyzing school expendi-
s-9
122
,tures that under "School Purposes" are included all sal-
aries, including those of janitors and supervisors, expendi-
tures for fuel and for all miscellaneous items not included
under "Text-books," "Repairs," and "Transportation."
Under "Repairs" are included all new furniture, janitors'
supplies, cleaning of buildings,etc., and ordinary repairs.
ESTIMATE FOR "SCHOOL PURPOSES"
It has been found possible in the past by. careful calcula-
tion to estimate to within from one to three per cent. the
amount needed in a given year for "School Purposes."
The sum of$26,000 was appropriated for"School Purposes"
in 1913. A larger income from tuition pupils than an-
ticipated allowed a small balance to show at the end of the
year. Allowing for no increase in salaries and a mini-
mum increase in the estimated cost of fuel over that of last
year of $300, and for an income from miscellaneous sources
of $1,000, the former sum should be added to the estimate
for the current year. The salaries of two high school
assistants should as a matter of fairness be somewhat in-
creased, at a total added expense of not over $100, while
the action of the School Board on the matter of compensa-
tion for obligatory contributions to the state retirement
fund will probably be influenced by the action of towns
similar to our own in resources. Eliminating the last fac-
tor, an increase of about $600 in the appropriation for
"School Purposes" over that of last year would seem to be
as close an estimate as under the new law it would be safe
to make.
ESTIMATE FOR "TEXT-BOOKS AND SUPPLIES"
For "Text-books and Supplies" an increase of about $75
would provide for the increased membership, on a basis
123
similar to that of last year, that is, an expenditure some-
what less per capita than the average in the county.
ESTIMATE FOR "TRANSPORTATION"
Calculating on the present rates of compensation for
transportation service and essentially the same expenditure
for railroad service, a total of not less than $5,500 will
probably be needed for "Transportation."
ESTIMATE FOR "REPAIRS"
It is not possible at the present writing to give even an
approximate estimate of the cost of repairs needed. Ordi-
nary repairs will doubtless call for about their usual ex-
penditure with some reduction allowed for the new build-
ings. Repairs of a more extensive nature which await the
action of the town are those mentioned in previous reports,
viz., the introduction of modern sanitary accommodations at
the Barnstable, Centerville and Cotuit buildings, and the
renovation of the interior of the Training School. These
projects would seem to be of sufficient importance to call
for separate appropriations in each case.
NEW APPROPRIATION LAVA'
The new law referred to above forbids the expenditure
for any given purpose beyond the amount appropriated
therefor. This makes it necessary in estimating the prob-
able expenditures for the several town departments to ask
for amounts which seem to allow a sufficient margin of
safety, as otherwise the trouble and expense of frequent
special town meetings would be involved. In the above
estimates what seems to be only a minimum margin of
safety has been allowed.
124
RAND OF BARNSTABLE IN SCHOOL APPRO-
PRIATIONS
In the amount appropriated to the support of the public
schools to each thousand dollars of valuation Barnstable
ranks two hundred seventy-fourth, seventy-nine towns tax-
ing themselves more lightly and two hundred and seventy-
three more heavily per thousand than Barnstable. Barn-
stable appropriates $4.13 ; the average for the state is $4.37.
PROGRESS OF THE SCHOOLS
No notable advance, either in quality or scope of school
work, appears to have been made the past year, but,the
teachers almost without exception have labored hard and
faithfully, with "Fundamentals first," as their guiding prin-
ciple.
The process of modernizing the curriculum is necessarily
a slow.one; courses of study in active use cannot be pulled
down and rebuilt as might a brick house. Such courses are
to a large degree an organic part of the school life, and most
changes niust come about slowly at best. This fact however
is no adequate excuse for the inertia and the indifference to
the need of constant improvement so often shown. It is
well both for teachers and school officials that we have state
and national authorities with the power and ability to stim-
ulate and if necessary compel more vigorous and constant
efforts to advance. The crying need is always foresight, a
constructive imagination capable of seeing the kind of�de-
mands the future will make upon the men and women who
are now our boys and girls, dependent for their future success
or failure upon the kind and spirit of the training they now
receive.
The United States Bureau of Education is now publishing
125
,'accounts of actual concrete progress in educational effort all
.over the country, and the energy, enterprise and financial
sacrifices shown by small towns in the west and poverty
-
-stricken villages in the south should put to shame many a
self-satisfied New Eng]and community. Excellent physical
advantages, courses of study which actually involve the
practical issues of life, and a splendid spirit of collective and
cooperative effort for good citizenship, are the dominant
characteristics of this remarkable educational awakening.
These people of the west and south are working out the
problem of bringing together_ the science and power of the
schools and the popular will. Says a report of the N. E. A.,
"There has always been a selfishly unsocial factor in culture
and the whole movement of today is to correct this by con-
necting higher education and all education with democracy."
In difficulty and complexity of administration the schools
of today, even the rural schools, compare with those of a
generation ago much as the automobile does with the oxcart.
In the many questions of fundamental importance constantly
arising we look to the best educational authorities for advice,
to parents for suggestion and cooperation.
If we are to get usable results from all our efforts we need
to simplify our courses of study, cease multiplying subjects,
concentrate on those which may be vitalized and related to
the life-which the pupils must face. We should reduce the
amount of detail and abstract work to a ininim-um, mare
school activities akin to those of practical life and place the.
development of power on the part of the pupil to do some-
thing worth while above the mere accumulation of facts for
selfish use or enjoyment.
We still hear occasionally some corner grocery philosopher
proclaim that the swimming-hole of forty years ago was
deeper, the snow-storms heavier, the apples better flavored
and the schools better taught than those of today. What-
126
ever may be true of the swimming-holes, the snowstorms
and the apples, we know from absolute documentary evi-
dence that the average pupil of today does better work in
the three R's, knows more of the history of his own and other
countries and is much more widely read than the average
pupil of the old district school. Still the total results are
far from satisfactory and the efforts for improvement
must be unceasing.
Our own special needs in addition to those mentioned
above, are, as often urged in previous reports,
Reduction of the number of grades and pupils
to a teacher;
Systematic compulsory hand training through-
out the grades;
The off erinLr of such inducements as will result
in retaining capable teachers for a term of
years.
Though we do everything else and leave the last undone
we can never get the best results. The capable teacher, who
remains open-minded to the last and willing to put into prac-
tice the latest best thoughts of her profession, grows in value
to the community as her term of service lengthens and does
incomparably more solid and enduring good than the tran-'
sient teacher, however brilliant the latter's work may seem.
So vital is this to the success of rural schools, to giving
country boys and girls the equal opportunities, the `square
deal' which democracy demands, that it has been seriously
proposed that the state so contribute to the salaries of rural
school teachers as to make them equal or superior to those
of city teachers, that it require that rural teachers have spe-
cial training for their work, and that it shall compel rural
towns to furnish school facilities of the first class.
127
In the final analysis, after all, as is the teacher so is the
school, and as is the school, so shall the community be.

REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE
BARNSTABLE HIGH SCHOOL
G. H. Galger, Superintendent of Schools:
Dear Sir
:-
I hereby submit to you my report as Principal of the
Barnstable High school:
In looking back over the work of the past year, the fea-
ture of school life which impresses me most is the growing
appreciation among parents and pupils of what the public
schools have to offer. This is decidedly noticeable in the
ever increasing number of those pupils, who, failing to do
satisfactory work for the year, have returned with a re-
newed interest in their studies and a determination to over-
come the difficulties which before they tried to avoid. These
pupils are given every opportunity to redeem themselves
and the teachers make especial effort to aid and encourage
such in every possible way. On the other hand, any boy
or girl showing exceptional ability is given the chance to
participate in the work of the next higher class, and thus
complete his course in less than the allotted time.
SCIENCE
In the study of elementary forestry the school grounds
have afforded an opportunity for demonstrating the value
of clearing the underbrush from a grove of pine, and later
of thinning the pines to the proper distances. The two
groves that have been cleared in this way by the first-year
boys show a striking contrast to the other groves still in the
wild condition.
Other forestry topics studied at first hand are wind-
breaks, fire prevention and control, identification of com-
mon trees and shrubs, and poisonous plants.
.129
Certain "projects" are being tried out this winter in
accordance with the recommendation of the State Board of
Education.
In the Junior class more attention is being given to the
household applications of Chemistry, as made in the study
of water analysis, food analysis, fermentation, and the uses
of coal tar products in foods and medicines.
ENGLISH
As at present outlined, the work in English is as follows:
The.first year is devoted to getting the class ready for
the actual literary and composition work of the remaining
three years. A necessary review of the simplest principles
in grammar is given, with forty lessons in spelling. The
pupil gains an elementary knowledge of how to express
himself; to tell a story, to describe what appeals to the eye,
what forms a picture, to give a clear explanation or di-
rection.
Letter-writing is introduced early in the year, with fre-
quent reviews, as opportunity occurs, in conjunction with
the reading matter. Reading is of the story form, narra-
tive, principally, the greatest stress during the first year
being laid on how the author makes his work interesting.
The second year is given to advanced grammar drill,
closely correlated with the structure of the sentence from
the rhetorical view-point. In reading, especial attention
is paid to the plot of the story, the nature of the descrip-
tion, and the style of the work as a whole. The develop-
anent of the essay in its paragraph type forms the basis of
the year's work in writing.
The third year reviews the principles acquired in the
first two. Owing to the limited time given to the study of
English up to two years ago, much of the work that should
have been done in the first and second years is crowded at
130
present into the third and even into the fourth, necessarily
crippling the advanced work of these years.
It is hoped that soon the first half of the junior year may
be devoted to the study of American authors, with a his-
tory of American literature, thus leaving the last half of
the year open to the larger field offered by the English
authors.
The fourth year is devoted to a review of the principles
of the first three years. At present, owing to the same
difficulties as are encountered in the third year, the class is
hindered in its attempt to do the work it should be doing
in composition. In this ,year, more intensive work is at-
tempted. Character study is dwelt upon in connection
with plot study. Considerable reading is done from the
works of the.English writers, and some time is given to the
history of English literature.
The works studied are representative of the four differ-
ent classes of discourse: the essay, the drama, the oration
and the poem.
MODERN LANGUAGE
In pursuance of the policy to confine ourselves to the
teaching of one modern language, German was included this
year in the list of first-year studies, thus making the course
in German extend through four years.
REPORT OF COMMERCIAL TEACHER
It is no doubt quite generally understood that the pur-
pose of the usual High school business course is not merely
to make of its members good office assistants, but further-
more to give such training as will aid them in earning pro-
motion to the more responsible positions of business life and
to fit them foundationally for intelligent and useful citizen-
131
ship. In any case, however, the accomplishment of this ob-
ject must of necessity depend largely upon the initial equip-
ment of the entering student, his belief in himself, his atti-
tude toward school life, and upon the size of the teaching
force of his school with reference to the courses offered by
it. Nevertheless, if it is true that, "Circumstances, how-
ever unfavorable they may seem, are always opportunities;
not limitations," then we should not waste time in deplor-
ing conditions as they may exist, but should be glad in the
belief that although at present they may not seem to be ideal,
they are in process of becoming so. "The measure of.a
man's soul," says Mabie, "is his ability to disregard the
hindrances and to concentrate his energy on the achieve-
ment."
There is pleasure in being able to report that this year,
as last, it has been found possible to offer the second-year.
pupils a three-period course in penmanship. According to
a plan followed in the Washington Irving High school and
others, simple breathing and relaxing exercises have been
given at the beginning of each recitation to facilitate the
acquirement of such free and harmonious interchange of
activity between mind and body as is necessary in develop-
ing the desired ease of movement and correctness of form.
Several.members of the first and third-year classes have been
allowed to take this course as extra work, and more would
like to do so if the present arrangement,of program would
permit.
It is hoped that ultimately the time given to this study may
be extended, results so far obtained being convincing proof
of the fact that the course, brief though it is, in a measure
satisfies a real need. However, in accordance with the com-
pensational law that that which one gets is proportionate to
what one gives, it is true that in penmanship, as in any
other task, the intense desire of a student for personal and
class progress and accomplishment, with its.resultant con-
132
centrative and diffusive power, is the strong factor in suc-
cessful attainment.
It is gratifying to note among the upper classmen of
this department a growing consciousness of personal re-
sponsibility for themselves and others. Almost without ex-
ception these students are applying themselves earnestly
and well. Whenever opportunity and time permit, many of
the juniors are doing extra work in typewriting. Both
classes have found the new keyboard shields valuable aids
in resisting a natural inclination to look at the keys.
To their work in other commercial subjects, as well as
to typewriting, the seniors bring a happy desire to think
things out for themselves, supplemented by a cheerful readi-
ness of response to suggestion or direction, and an opti-
inistically philosophic spirit generally that is most helpful.
Partly because of these characteristics, and partly be-
cause of the extra period in stenography we were able to put
in last year, these pupils have been qualified to do more
original work in shorthand than have their predecessors.
Besides the daily speed practice on letters, they have read
several books in shorthand and have taken to dictation much
new literary matter, thoughtfully chosen for its variety of
subject and excellent English. These notes have been care-
fully corrected by comparison with those in the best of
shorthand, read back, and finally transcribed'on the ma-
chines. Aside from the mechanical practice afforded by
this transcriptive work, it is obviously useful in bringing to
the student a realizing sense of his own limitations in spell-
ing and English, and hence the need for faithful effort in
these subjects.
Thus, as the point just given suggests, it has been our
endeavor throughout the entire business course-to make the
work such as will aid in developing judgment, initiative,
and an active, sympathetic interchange of service, believing
as we do, that, "Whatever we have we have through the.aid
of others; all that we have we have for the aid of others,"
133
and that, "Co-operation in production, and sharing in use
and enjoyment are the twin secrets of rightly adjusted, har-
monious living."

GIFTS
A steel engraving of Benjamin Franklin was presented
to the school by Judge C. C. Paine, as was also a colored
photograph of Lake Geneva by Mr. James Otis, both of
which have been placed upon the walls of the assembly
room.
In June, a check for $7.79, representing profits from the
eighth grade garden of the Hyannis Training school was re-
ceived from Treasurer Walter B. Pollock, as a contribution
to the Athletic Field Fund.
MEMORIAL EXERCISES
On the afternoon of May 29, appropriate exercises were
held at which there were present representatives of each of
the two G. A. R. Posts, the Woman's Relief Corps and other
friends of the school. Similar exercises will be held on May
29 of the present year which all who are interested in the
school are invited to attend.
Knowing that our young people are influenced more
easily by example than by precept, and believing that the
most good can be accomplished by men acquainted with .
local conditions, I am making an effort to bring before the
school speakers prominent in state and county affairs. Al-
ready several such have signified their readiness to aid me
in this matter. In•the successful carrying out of this plan
I shall be most grateful for any assistance which may be
rendered me by those interested in the welfare of the
school.
Respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING
Mr. George H. Galger,
Dear Sir
The past year's work in drawing has been along lines
stated in previous reports and the results are, in the main,
satisfactory. The prevalence of scarlet fever, measles, and
diphtheria in several of the villages caused unavoidable in-
terruptions and consequent loss. The resignations of
teachers during the school year also complicated our prob-
lems and retarded the progress of many pupils.
Mr. Smith and Miss Fuller of Cotuit Grammar school
have combined forces in manual work this year, as they did
last. Good work has been done by the boys in their simply
equipped shop, while the girls in the same periods have
been taught plain sewing. . -
At Santuit at Christmas, creditable needle work was
done by all the older girls under Miss Warner's efficient di-
rection.
Barnstable village Grammar was the first of our Gram-
mar schools to undertake wood-work, and it was taught with
profit, in spite of many drawbacks, in one corner of the old
"up-stairs" school-room. Now the unfinished room in the
remodeled building gives ample space for bench.work.
Additional tools have been obtained through the efforts
of the Principal, aided by a generous friend of this school.
We are now prepared to do here all the work that time
limitations permit in a Grammar school of three grades.
Much credit is due to the Principal, Mr. Hopkins, who has
worked earnestly for more than three years to bring about
these conditions. Sewing, commenced along with the
wood-work by efficient assistants in the old room, is now
regularly taught as at Cotuit, by the Intermediate teacher,
to the girls of the upper rooms. Articles made in this class
141
were exhibited at the county fair and received high com-
mendation.
There is much encouragement in the quality of the
drawings we are now obtaining from many of the ninth
grade pupils. It is always difficult to do justice to these
capable pupils when we must bring on at the same time all
of the seventh and eighth grade children, and sometimes even
those of the fifth and sixth grades. We are determined
that the ninth grade boys shall not leave school without
some knowledge of the fundamental principles of working
drawings, and the ability to read a simple working drawing
or blue-print:
The record now being made by one pupil who went from
the Barnstable High school to an Art school last September
shows what this High school can do for an earnest, capable .
pupil.
One of the best things to be said of drawing in this High
school today, is the fact that thirteen juniors from. a class of
seventeen are taking drawing as an elective, and are doing
the best average work ever done in B. H. S. by juniors.
The James Otis prizes in drawing were awarded as fol-
lows:
Senior:—Drawing, Grace Bursley. Art Note Book,
Frances V. Maher.
Junior:—Freehand Drawing, Ellen Bursley.
Second_Year:—Freehand, Claribel B. Soule. Mechani-
cal, Russell G. Starck.
First Year:—Freehand, Lymena T. Baxter. Mechanical,
.Frederic H. Smith.
The Elizabeth Lowell school has lost by removal, some
of its best pupils, whose work was an inspiration to us in all
lines of endeavor. .The small classes permit more personal
instruction, and should enable us to beat the records made
when there was a larger enrolment. Prizes were given in
this school last year, because we are determined that as far
142
as possible no stimulus offered at the Barnstable High school
shall be missing at Cotuit.
The following characterization of drawing has recently
come to hand from a report of a National Convention of
French Drawing Teachers, recently held at Rouen. "Draw-
ing is the greatest factor in the Manual Training of our
Youth, on whom the prosperity of the nation depends."
To this I add this testimony of Mr. Henry Turner Bailey in
a December Magazine:
"Whatever the results in drawing may have been, they
have never satisfied us. We want to see better results
every year . . . . We know, in our heart of hearts, we
ought to teach drawing so that our pupils can draw. We
may begin with color or with design. We may `stress'
culture epochs or stage trappings, but sooner or later our
old enemy turns up smiling. We are confronted with the
problem of teaching drawing, just ordinary, old-fashioned,
hard headed, sure handed DRAWING."

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC
Mr. G. H. Galger, Superintendent of Schools:
Dear Sir:—
Many interested in having our country become a musical
nation are taking as one of their mottoes, "I hear America
Singing." Our motto is, "I hear the children of Barn-
stable singing."
That we may bring more music into the home life of our
pupils, both foreign and native born, and thus lead them to
a better knowledge of our heritage of son-, we are using
in the schools melodies every American child is supposed
to know. Our object, we think, is being. attained, as
nearly three hundred books, each containing one hundred
of these favorites, have been eagerly purchased by our
Young people. _
The plan being used in our daily lessons is the same
as that outlined in the report made last year. In connec-
tidn with the regular work a little practice in composition
is given. Last June two of the pupils in the Centerville
grammar school wrote the 'words and music for their class
son;. V1%e trust there may be several original class songs
this June. W'e ask the children in the lower grades to
teach their favorite songs to the younger brothers and
sisters. As a result of this home work progress has been
made with less effort than last year. Most of those in the
second grade who, a year ago, could not sing a melody
correctly, are able to do so now. It is interesting to see
the enthusiasm with which these little people render their
songs, especially the old carols sung this year in many
cities around the municipal Christmas trees.
B-11
154
Realizing that appreciation of good music is of more
value than the ability to read it—important as that is—we
desire that the pupils throughout the grades shall enjoy the
music lessons; even the boys who are apt to lose confi-
dence while their voices are deepening. Such pupils are
encouraged to learn all they can of the subject matter and
to continue to sing. We also suggest that they learn to
play an instrument. A well-known supervisor of music
says that nothing is more valuable to a boy than the ability
to play some one of the single-voiced instruments, as these
furnish a satisfactory medium of emotional expression.
We judge that many agree with this statement, for, in
most of the cities of the British Isles, the school authorities
offer a violin, at the factory price, to each child desiring to
learn to play this instrument. Teachers are also provided
for the classes formed. Similar work is being successfully
carried on this year in six of the public schools of Boston.
The extent to which this plan, originating in a small
English town, has been adopted indicates that there is
developing, both here and abroad, a fuller realization of
what a course in music may mean to the home, the school
and to the community.
Cordially acknowledging the valuable assistance given
by my fellow,-teachers this report is
Respectfully submitted,
SYLENDA B. MORRIS

It will be noticed that some items show that the expendi-
tures have been in excess of the appropriation while others
show that the full appropriation was not spent. There are
two or three items which I feel should be explained, first,
the account of the Collector's Fees and Taxes Remitted show
an appropriation ,of $1,500.00 and an expenditure of
$6,456.16; from the amount expended should be deducted
$4,041.81 which amount the Town was obliged to. remit for
a tax collected which was levied on the December assess-
ment 1913, by the Assessors in accordance with instruc-
tions received from the Tax Commissioner but which later
the Town was obliged to remit by a decision of the Courts.
Next the Common Field Bridge account shows an appropria-
tion of $800.00 and an expenditure of $1,748.00, this is
explained by the fact that the Town voted to use in addi-
tion to this appropriation of$800.00 the amount of$1,000.00
which was obtained by-issuing a note in the year 1913.
Next, the Centerville Beach road account shows an expen-
diture of$299.00 without any appropriation; it will be re-
membered and is shown by the report of 1913, that $300.00
was appropriated for this purpose but no expenditure made
during that year. On the remaining,items which show an ---
expenditure in excess of the appropriation I might make an
explanation of each one but I think a general explanation
will be sufficient.While the law provides that no department
shall incur liabilities in excess of an appropriation, except
in certain cases, an opinion has been rendered by the State
Department having charge of the financial affairs of all
Towns, that in order to meet items which were unforeseen
or expenditures which have been necessary for the main-
tenance of the several departments and which were in-excess
of the appropriation, the Town could take into considera-
tion in addition to the appropriation for any department,
the receipts of such department, also that the unexpended
59
balance of any department could, after all the liabilities of
said department had been met, be transferred to any other
department which had expended an amount in excess of the
appropriation, provided that in the aggregate the total ex-
penditures were not in excess of the amount of the appro-
priations and receipts.
Respectfully submitted,
J. C. BEARSE,
Town Treasurer.

Credits, $71 10
I beg to offer the following which I think will be of in-
terest to the inhabitants of the town. That nearly .all of
the macadain roads were, when •given to me for care, in a
very bad condition is without question, and to improve them
with the same amount of.money that had been spent without
improved results was certainly no small task. The General
Expense account in the report includes all of the work done
118
on these stone roads, except about $500, which is charged to
the Centerville section. This is for partly rebuilding two
sections of road, and also for paying for applying a portion i
of the sand to the oil on Main street. `
In all we have rebuilt 1930 feet of macadam road in 1
places where we discovered less than an inch of stone.
There remain many places like these.
We used nearly 23,000 gallons of the best grade of.road
oil for just patching. The results are very marked. Tarvia B
was applied on the roads from Yarmouth to Hyannis, from
Barnstable to Hyannis, the Hyannispo.rt road, from Center-
ville to West Barnstable, the Osterville Main and Wianno
Beach roads. This tivas done to hold the road until a re-
surfacing coat could be applied. The results were excellent.
Asphalt Road Oil No. 6 was used on the roads between West
Barnstable and Osterville, from Bumps River Bridge, Cen-
terville to the State road .at Hyannis, and on the road
through Barnstable village. Gravity method was used so
as to insure a good coat. It is not practical to put this
on where the road is so thin that it will rut during the
winter and spring. Portions of the Cotuit road furnish an
example of such a road and must be reinforced with stone
before an expensive coat of oil is applied. This road ought
to have a large expenditure of money every year until it is
in good condition.
The result of using the lighter grades of oil that act
mainly as a dust layer has been to soften our roads very:
materially and hasten their disintegration:
Where we have applied the Asphalt No. 6 oil the road
.in many cases is yet quite rough, but keeping up this method
will in time make them fairly smooth. We have either got
to bring them to a fairly good condition by the generous
use of oil or rebuild all of them at great expense.
To say that they are in most'places too narrow is need-
less. It is a well known fact. Sea street in Hyannis is
an example of a too narrow road, and considerable money
119
needs to'be spent on it. The middle is good, but the
shoulders keep breaking off. There are very rough places
on the Hyannisport road that must be rebuilt. We have
met some of the demands of the village loam roads. Auto-
mobile traffic makes it hard to keep these roads in good con-
dition; especially is this true where the hardening material.
is of poor. quality. We have spent a considerable amount
of money on the Hyannisport and Craigville road as many
automobiles aside from those that use it regularly, which
are a great number, used it while the main road to Hyannis
was being rebuilt. The road at Osterville beach is an-
other example. In many cases too, the natives have to use
a sandy road.
We have provided for better drainage in many places,
yet there is still great need. I hope the town will be able
to properly drain Camp street in Hyannis, for many of the
residents are greatly inconvenienced by the flbodinm rf their
yards. Pearl street also is in great need of good drainage.
These are by no means the only places in the town, but are
examples of what remains to be done in the matter of drain-
age
Guard. rails of which we have rebuilt 1889 feet this ,year
have to be taken into consideration. We, must rebuild
many feet more. The guard fence near. the ;Gaff estate in
Osterville brings to our attention the risk the town is
taking.
The matter of Bridge' work this year has been of great
concern, as the draw of Grand Island bridge became broken_
The Bumps River bridge was in such a condition as to cause
alarm, so much so that the County Commissioners were
called to consider, rebuilding it. After the work we had
contemplated had been outlined, the petitioners refused to
appear in favor of a new bridge, thus saving the town an
outlay of several thousand dollars. The abutments were
braced with several cubic yards of stone and cement.
Eight new spiles were driven and two new heavy hard pine
120
stringers were added. Two-inch planking was placed over
the planking on the surface and the railing strengthened
some. The road at Lumbert's Mill bridge had fallen �
through, as the drum was entirely rotted. We put a new
drum in and built new railing the entire length of the fill.. `
About $300 of the appropriation for roads was used to help
pay these bridge bills.
I have given you some of the more important items to
give you a general idea .of what has been done and-what '
ought to be accomplished. I think the desire of nearly
every person in the town is to make it a pleasure for us to
Iive here, and attractive for people looking for another
place to live, whether it be for a summer or permandnt
home.
In achieving this end; a good road in every section is a
very important factor.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLIAM A. JONES,
Surveyor of Highways.

REPORT OF MILK INSPECTOR
I
Marstons Mills, Jan. 27., 1915.
To the Board of Health of Barnstable.
Gentlemen :
It once more becomes my duty to report to you my doings
as Inspector of Milk since June 1, 1914.
I have made 255 dairy inspections.
There has been one prosecution on account of watered
milk.
There have been 22 stables -,yhitewashed and 14 windows
added.
The cow stables in town are kept in much better condition
each year than they were the year before.
Many complaints are made by consumers that the milk
sold them does not keep sweet as long as it should, and I
am always glad to investigate the matter. After a thorough
investigation, I find in more than 60 per cent. of these cases
that the trouble originated in the, consumer's home. So it
may be well for me to make a few suggestions as to the care
of milk in the home.
No matter how carefully milk is handled from the time it
is drawn until it reaches the consumer, it can quickly be-
come an undesirable food if carelessly handled in the home.
Milk will quickly become contaminated if placed in unclean
vessels ; and it should always be kept cool to keep the
bacteria from multiplying and causing it to become unfit for
food.
r
125
The producer has done his part when he leaves at your
door a bottle of cool, clean, unadulterated milk, free from
bacteria which cause disease. The consumer should then do
his part if he wishes to have clean, wholesome milk for his
family. As soon as the milk is delivered to the consumer
it should immediately be put into the ice box, especially
in warm weather. The milk should be kept in the bottle
until needed for use. Before removing the cap from the
bottle, the cap and also the neck of the bottle should be
rinsed with cold water, and wiped with a clean cloth. .To
remove the cap a sharp pointed instrument should be used,
so as not to push the cap into the -milk. Instead of using
the cap again put an inverted cup or tumbler over the top
of the bottle to keep out the dirt and flies. Do not keep
milk in a warm room any longer than is absolutely nec-
essary.
Before returning a milk bottle to the dairyman, first rinse
it with cold water, then wash it with hot water, to which
some kind of washing powder has been added, and then rinse
with clean hot water. Any person who gives a dairyman a
dirty milk bottle, has no right to'expect a clean one in return ;
but under no circumstances should a dairyman put milk into
a dirty bottle or can.
Never take a milk bottle into a room where a person is
sick, because an infectious disease can be spread by such a
bottle being returned to the firm and then delivered to some
other.home.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE T. MECARTA,
Inspector of Milk.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
To the School Committee of Barnstable:
In accordance with the rules of the School Committee,
I herewith submit my tenth annual report on the public
schools for the ,year ending December 31, 1914, -the same
being the twenty-fourth in the series of Superintendents'
-reports.
SCHOOL BUILDINGS
REPAIRS AND IDIPROVEMENTS ACCOMPLISHED
At the Barnstable High school a new steel ceiling was
put up in the Science room, the ceiling of the hall was re-
paired, important repairs on the furnaces, lavatory, and
pumping engine made, new hardware installed in many of
the doors, and miscellaneous repairs accomplished.
"Town water" was introduced into the Training school,
the worn out crematory system was removed and modern
lavatories installed., a new cesspool constructed and repairs
made on .the plumbing and roof, etc.
At Centerville repairs were made on the flag pole, fences,
engine and plumbing and the grounds graded. Under the
special appropriation a basement was constructed, and a
complete and up-to-date system of heating, sanitation, and
ventilation was put in. The building is now as complete
in its appointments as any in town.
At Barnstable the windows were screened, new outside
stairs built on the front terrace, the grounds graded and
miscellaneous repairs made.
At West Barnstable only minor repairs were found neces-
i
144
sary, as also at Santuit and Marstons Mills, the water supply
being improved at the latter place.
At Osterville a large part of the expenditures was due
to outlays involved in fitting up the old building, after the
Osterville fire. j
At Cotuit the condition called for a large number of
minor repairs, which were duly made.
IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED
In the past dozen years, Barnstable has made a remark-
able record in the improvement of its old and the construc-
tion of new buildings. No other Cape town within the
same time has done as well. The result is, we now have
but two buildings whose condition calls for radical. improve-
ment, namely those at Marston,s Mills and Cotuit, and doubt-
less these will soon receive attention. The completion of
certain improvements at the Barnstable building awaits the
solution of the water supply question.
OSTERVILLE FIRE
On the evening of November 24th, the Osterville school
building, the best built and best appointed in the town, was
totally- destroyed by fire. The old building was quickly
prepared for temporary use, and after a delay of only six
school days, the pupils were again at work. Arrange-
ments are underway for rebuilding.
CHANGES IN THE TEACHING FORCE
Over twenty changes of teachers took place during the
year, and the .end of the fall term found more than half the
schools in charge of new teachers. It is •probably impos-
sible for those not in direct touch with'the schools, to realize
the extent and seriousness of the losses to the welfare of
the children inevitably involved in such a proportion of
145
changes. It is one of the three or four great fundamental
evils from which our schools suffer, which so far neither
( public sentiment nor school officials, in the smaller towns at
ileast, have been able essentially to modify.
Many teachers resign at such short notice, or under such
circumstances, that it is almost impossible for the school
authorities to secure satisfactory substitutes. Rural towns
are further crippled., because as a rule they offer harder
schools, smaller pay, and less public cooperation than the
larger towns and cities. The latter offer generally schools
of one grade to a room, twenty-five per cent. to one hundred
per cent. larger salaries, and public cooperation in the form
of parent-teacher associations and other activities. . State
authorities in many parts of the country are recognizing
the evils in question, and are trying to devise plans which
will secure to teachers of country schools, adequate pay and
support, and to rural communities, teachers specially trained
to meet the difficult problems of such schools; but school•
authorities can do little until the parents awake to the
gravity of the situation, and insist that the opportunities
of their children shall be no longer essentially inferior to
those offered the children of.city schools.
Our own town suffers from the difficulties mentioned
above and also from drawbacks of its own. -Our schools,
in common with other rural schools, have from three to six
grades to a teacher, but they also have more pupils to a
teacher than most Cape schools. On the financial side, the'
higher price of board in most of our villages, as compared
with the price in surrounding towns, puts our teachers, not
infrequently, at an actual disadvantage in net salary to
those of smaller and poorer towns. This of course greatly
increases the difficulty of securing satisfactory teachers.
The following are among the many changes in our teach-
ing force the past year:
Barnstable: Geo. F. Hopkins, principal, was followed
by Mabel K. Baker, as substitute, later by Mr. John F.
14G
Brackett; Mary L. Crocker by Bernice P. Spofford, later by
Annie H. Bearse.
West Barnstable: Florence V. Chapman was appointed
part-time assistant teacher.
Santuit: During Miss Greene's absence, her position
was filled by Ada Fuller, Miss Greene returning later.
Cotuit: Chas. E. Perkins succeeded Mr. Smith, as prin-
cipal, and Miss , Caroline C. Nickerson, Miss Fuller, as
teacher of the Interinediate grades. During the temporary
absence of. Miss Snow, on account of illness, her position was
filled by Miss Gertrude L. Greene, and later by Lucia D.
Ruggles. Miss Snow was able to resume her duties in the
fall.
Miss Florence L. Flewelling, assistant at the Hig>> school,
was obliged to give up her position on account of ill health,
and Miss Lucille Smith assumed the position in the fall.
Osterville: In September, Mr. F. C. Cargill became
principal of the Grammar school, following D. Alva Cram-
Ball. Miss Cora M. Nicoll followed Miss Ph.inney in the In-
termediate grades. In March, Annie H.• Bearse took the
place of Miss McConnel in the Primary school, being fol-
lowed on her transfer to Centerville, by Helen A. Stearns.
Training School: In the Training school, Louise K.
Morss was transferred. to the position formerly occupied by
Mr. Russell Scott. Miss Rowland was transferred to the
first grade, inad.e vacant by the resignation of Miss Wright;
Miss Bessie A..Morse was appointed to the position made
vacant by the transfer of Miss Rowland and Miss Emilie
Sears to that vacated by Miss Morss. Later Miss Hazel F.
Seale was appointed teacher of the newly-organized third
grad.e.
Barnstable High School: Miss Lyon, commercial in-
structor, resigned shortly before the opening of the fall
term; and her place was effectively filled by Miss Margaret
Leach, who was however soon obliged to resign on account
of health. She was followed by Miss S. Margaret Bowers.
147
Centerville: Annie H. Bearse was appointed to the
position rendered.vacant by the resignation of Miss Little-
field, being later transferred to Barnstable; Miss Bernice P.
Spofford being transferred from Barnstable to Centerville.
With hardly an exception the teachers who were lost to
us last year.had labored faithfully and well. Among
those who merit special commendation for the general ex-
cellence of their work and fine teaching spirit, are Miss'
Crocker, ,Miss Phiuney, Miss Fuller, Miss McConnel, Miss
Flewelling, Miss Littlefield, and 11Ir. E. E. Smith. All might
justly be termed "natural teachers," of whom there are far
too few.
Miss Mary L. Crocker had on her retirement faithfully
served the town as a Primary teacher for twenty years. Her
discipline was easy and efficient, her teaching quiet and
effective, and she was ever alert to adopt the best advanced
ideas in her profession.
Mrs. Addie G. Crosby, whose leave of absence had been
extended from time to time in the hope that she might re-
turn to teaching, at least temporarily, was obliged finally
to definitely withdraw from further service. Mrs. Crosby,
certainly a "natural teacher," had given thirty years of
devoted service to young children, work of the highest order
of merit, and productive of lasting good.
RAND OF BARNSTABLE IN SCHOOL APPRO-
PRIATIONS
In the amount appropriated to the support of the public
schools to each thousand dollars of valuation Barnstable
ranks two hundred sixty-fifth, eighty-eight towns taxing
themselves more lightly and two hundred sixty-four more
heavily than Barnstable. The town of Barnstable appro-
priates $4.18 per thousand, the average in the county being
$4.80,
148
J
EXPENDITURES FOR TEXT-BOOKS AND
SUPPLIES
ti
Exclusive of amounts expended on account of the Oster-
Ville fire, the expenditures for text-books and supplies were
$1,594.72, or $2.01 per pupil, feckoned on the average mem-
bership. The average in the county for the preceding year
was $2.70, in the state $2.15. ,
TRANSPORTATION ,
The increasingly late arrival of the morning train at
Hyannis, bringing the "train scholars" to school just about
the time their thoughts would naturally, turn to lunch, ne-
cessitated a change in the transportation process, and the
train service was superceded by auto-barge service, the latter
serving, not only all the pupils formerly using the train,
but also elementary school pupils who had been transported
by horse barges at;Barnstable and West Barnstable. This
resulted in a saving of nearly two hours in the most valuable
part of the day for the High school scholars, as the time of
arrival of the Osterville-Centerville auto-barge was changed
to coincide with that of the Barnstable barge. The new ar-
rangernent for the Barnstable-West Barnstable-Hyannis
transportion adds about $800 to the cost, but the beneficial
effect on the administration of the High school amply com-
pensates for this outlay.
SCHOOL FINANCES
EXPENDITURES
By distributing the miscellaneous receipts, which were.
larger than anticipated, among the several classes of items,
the department was able to keep within its available ap-
14+�
propriations, in spite of the fact that an expenditure of
$421.76, due to the Osterville fire, was made from the
regular appropriation. The direct appropriation for
Repairs" having been exhausted in October, additional
bills under that item, to the amount of $85.81 were paid
from the "miscellaneous" section of "School Purposes."
The total expenditures of the. department for all purposes
were $37,151.37, the total available appropriations $37,-
345.22, leaving- an unexpended balance of $193.85,. Details
may be found tinder their usual headings.
Of the increase of $1,030.80 over the total expenditures
of last year, approximately $400 was due to the increase
in the cost of transportation and the expenditure of over
$400 on account of the Osterville disaster. The total ex-
pended for repairs was less than that of last year. The
total expense per pupil enrolled was about 60 cents less
than in 1913.
TEN-YEAR COMPARISON
An analysis of the ten-year financial table published by
the Town Treasurer last year showed that the running ex-
penses of the town, aside from schools, and excluding new
roads, notes, interest and the State and County tax, in-
creased approximately 133 per cent. ; the running expenses
of the schools, excluding new buildings, increased 64 per
cent. During the same period the expenditures for, new
roads were in round numbers $116,000, and for new school
buildings $44,000. The valuation of the town had in-
creased from $4,846,560 in 1904, to $8,42.5,650 in 1913,
the valuation for 1914 being $8,759,620.
The tax burden for the support of Schools was in 1904
_$4.04 per thousand dollars of valuation ; in 1914, $4.18. per
thousand. During the latter period the increase in the en-
150
irolment was 170, in the number of teachers employed four,
and in the number of rooms occupied four.
ESTIMATES FOR 1915
i
The doubtful industrial and commercial future, due to the
European war, seems to call for conservative action in all
financial expenditures. Fortunately the elements of added
expense in the school department are not, so far as can be
foreseen at present, large enough to be unduly burdensome.
Some schedule increases are due, and the minimum salary
of grade teachers who are obliged by law to contribute to
the Teachers' Retirement Fund, has been raised from $405
annually to $450. Of the latter sum $35 annually goes to
the Retirement Board. Eleven teachers in Barnstable now
pay into the Board from $35 to $90 each annually.
The increased cost due to the change in salaries mentioned
above compelled a change in the schedule, and no provision
is-now made for an increase in salary the second year, the
maximum given the third year of service remaining as
before.
Aside from the schedule, but two increases in salaries
were made, Principal L. M. Boody's salary being raised
from $1,500 to $1,600, and that of the janitor of the Cen-
terville School from $72 annually to $180. The new room
opened at the Training School will entail an increased ex-
pense of about $500. The appropriation for "School Pur-
poses" last year was $27,000. If the fuel bill for the com-
ing year does not exceed $3,000 it is possible that the same
appropriation will be sufficient, though should the income
from the dog tax and miscellaneous sources be less than an-
ticipated a deficiency would result. For "Text-books and
Supplies" $1,500 will be ample; last year $1,600 was ap-
propriated. Estimates for "Transportation" include the fol-
lowinb:
J

Barnstable Barge, $262 50
West Barnstable Barge, 600 00
Santuit Barge, 262 50

Osterville-Centerville-Hyannis auto-barge, 1,600 00
Barnstable-West Barnstable-Hyannis auto-barge, 2,100 00
$6,472 50
Although our total expenditures for transportation are
large, about forty Massachusetts towns spend more per pupil
and more proportionally to their total school expenditures
than do we.
Estimates for "Repairs" are not available at the present
writing.
The minimum appropriations which appear to be needed
are shown below in comparison with those of 1914.
1915 1914
School Purposes, $27,000 $27,000
Text-books and Supplies, 1,500 1,600
Transportation, 6,470 5,650
As under the new law expenditures cannot be made be-
yond appropriations, and it is impossible to tell with exact-
ness either the total expenditure or total income, possible
delay in paying bills might be avoided by adding small
amounts to the appropriations proposed or by apportion-
ing a general contingent fund among the town departments.
The amount suggested for"School Purposes" is a close mini-
mum and may necessitate the discontinuance of the part-time
assi.-tants at Santuit and West Barnstable, involving a serious
loss in efficiency in these difficult schools.
HIGH SCHOOLS
ELIZABETH LOWELL HIGH SCHOOL
I
The present membership of the Elizabeth Lowell High
school is eighteen, of whom twelve are resident and six non-
resident pupils. None of these at present are reported as
candidates for college, though two are possible candidates
for technical schools. The small number of pupils, with the
slight prospect of any permanent substantial increase, pre-
sents a serious problem financially, and a difficult one edu-
cationally, two aspects of school administration not uncom-
mon.
A school may have too many or too few pupils for the
best results, and it is extremely difficult to secure a desirable
amount of emulation and enthusiasm in very small classes.
Yet even a small High school is a valuable asset to, a com-
munity, and its abolition or transfer would be justifiable
only for the most serious reasons.
The cost of the school, based on its present membership,
is an important factor in the situation. The cost per pupil,
including all expenditures, except for transportation, ap-
proximates $110 per pupil. If estimated on resident pupils
only, the cost is much greater. Non-resident pupils are
paying the customary tuition fee of one dollar per week.
This charge should be increased at the beginning of the next
school year, as a matter of fairness to ourselves. The cost
of the High school at Hyannis, not including transportation,
is approximately .$43 per pupil.
New legislation has made it possible for High schools
to break away from the curriculum forced upon them by
the old law, which compelled them to give instructign in
"such subjects as may be required for admission to Normal
schools, Technical schools and Colleges." A school. which
does not do this may now legally be rated as a High school,
provided it is approved as such by the State Board. Taking
advantage of this change in the law, a step in the direction
^1
153
of a business course has been made by the introduction of
typewriting, for which purpose three new Remington
machines have.been installed. It is planned to introduce
shorthand next year. The instruction in typewriting is in
charge of Miss Lucille Smith, who,was appointed to fill Miss
Flewelling's position, the latter resigning after three years
of enthusiastic and devoted service to the school.
The report of Principal Sanderson may be found else-
where.
13ARNSTABLE HIGH SCHOOL
The large number of pupils in the entering class, neces-
sitating double divisions in nearly all the first-year sub-
jects, has made the work extremely arduous for the teachers,
and compelled a serious cut in the time given to such im-
portant subjects as history and civics, besides delaying the
approach to the modified,curriculum proposed at the County
Conference of 1912. Recognizing that a definite goal and
fixed requirements for reaching it are vital factors in com-
pelling a high standard of sustained effort, the proposed
curriculum retains all the essential requirements of the
usual College preparatory course, but suggests important
modifications of this course for those who are not College
candidates. The non-College course is uniform in part with
the College course, but emphasizes history, civics, applied
science, business subjects and practical arts.
If the schools influence, as strongly as is claimed, the
development of the community, educational authorities have
reason for serious thought in the present wreck of civiliza-
tion in Europe. The three leading nations involved have
developed, to a far higher degree of excellence than our
own, instruction in the classics, mathematics and the
sciences. Yet the leading apologists of the war are among
the most distinguished products of such training. Is it not
possible that our school training as a whole has been too
abstract, has dealt too much with the past and too little with
B-11
15.E
the living present, and its vital and pressing problems, de-
manding for their solution knowledge of the past truly, but
also first-hand knowledge of present conditions, with the
power to do and the will to serve?
Reference has been made above to the large number in
the first-year class and its effect. Should the membership
of the school continue to be as large as at present, the need
of an additional teacher will have to be considered. With
such, more work could be done in the regular subjects, and
desirable features in the line of physical training introduced.
In connection with this, the following suggestions of the
State Board are subjoined:
Proposed Requirements for Fully Approved High Schools
1.—The school'shall require 15 or 16 units for gradua-
tion, and no pupil shall receive credit for more than 4 units
in any one year, unless he shall have accomplished more
than the ordinary amount of work during that_year.
2.—The teachers shall hold certificates issued by the
Board of Education; and they shall give instruction only in
subjects covered by their certificates, or in other subjects in
which they have secured permits from the Board of Educa-
tion.
3.—The lighting, heating and ventilating of the rooms
and the methods of cleaning, shall be such as to insure hy-
gienic conditions for both pupils and teachers.
4.—The efficiency of instruction and the general intel-
lectual and moral tone of the school are paramount factors
and therefore only schools which rank well in these particu-
lars shall be considered eligible.
5—The number of teachers shall be sufficient to justify
the,reasonable presumption of thorough instruction. Ex-
clusive of the principal, there should be one teacher for each
25 pupils in the membership of the,school, and one teacher
for each 30 pupils shall be regarded as the minimum. In a
High school offering a wide variety of courses, this inini-
155
mum will not be adequate, especially in the case of a High
school with less than 100 pupils. The part-time service of
a teacher not devoting entire time to the High school, shall
in this,connection be estimated by dividing the number of
periods actually devoted to High-school instruction by 30.
6:—The number of instruction divisions assigned to a
teacher shall not be excessive. In a school with not more
than 30 pupils, 7 instruction divisions shall be the maximum.
In a school with more than 30 pupils, 6 instruction divisions -
shall be the maximum, and the number shall be reduced to
5 whenever possible.
7.—The number of instruction periods assigned to a
teacher shall not be excessive. In a school with not more
than 30 pupils, 35 instruction periods shall be the maximum.
In a school with more than 30 pupils, 30 instruction periods
shall be the maximum, and 25 are recommended, whenever
possible, especially when extensive correction of papers and
the preparation of laboratory material is necessary.
S.—The,total number of pupils in the instruction divi-
sions assigned to any one teacher shall not be excessive.
This number should not exceed 100, and 125 shall be the
maximum.
Note: In numbers 6, 7 and 8,'instruction in typewriting
or a general exercise for the school in penmanship, spelling,
music, or current events, may be in addition to the maxi-
mum numbers.
9.—The per capita expenditure for instruction should
not be less than $50.00, and $40.00 is the minimum.
10.—The scholarship record of pupils shall be kept ac-
curately either on the "Pupil's Scholarship Record Cards"
prepared by the Board of Education, or on other forms con-
taining substantially the same information and approved by
the Board.
II.—Each teacher shall., at least three times 'a year, file
with the Superintendent of Schools, a record of the work
covered in each course, indicating the principal projects or
experiments performed, or pages of text covered.
156
The general work of the school has been marked by its
usual thoroughness, and though the Commercial course has
had three different teachers within a year, the quality of the
teaching, and the attitude of the class has been such that
comparatively little loss has been suffered. The "working
together" spirit of the pupils and teachers has been most
commendable.
Attention is called to the report of Principal Boody.
ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS
The unusual number of changes in the teaching force of
the schools has been a very serious drawback to the uninter-
rupted progress of the work, but most of the new teachers
have made earnest efforts to get aquainted with the leading
characteristics of individual pupils and thus to render their
teaching more effective. No radical changes have been
made in the school programs, and the effort to strengthen
the instruction in the fundamental subjects has been con-
tinued. So long as human nature remains imperfect, how-
ever, a certain proportion of pupils will fail to profit fully
by such efforts, and by such defective products some critics
judge the schools. The right of the citizen to criticise the
school, the press, and the pulpit, nevertheless, is inalienable,
and such criticism, when made in a spirit of fairness, is an .
invaluable tonic to all three. The near view is sometimes dis-
couraging, but the broader view compels us to admit that
the men and women of today, the product of the schools of
a past generation, are doing bigger and better things than
their predecessors, and that we have every reason to sup-
pose .that the coming generation will do still better.
Respectfully submitted,
G. H. GALGER.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
Air. G. H. Galger, Superintendent of Schools: ,
Dear Sir:—
The present School Physician has attempted to follow
the methods of inspection used by his predecessor, adding
to the work as opportunity has offered. An unusual num-
ber of special visits, following epidemic diseases, for the
purpose of examining pupils has been made. More de-
tailed examinations of the individual pupils are made, and
the School Physician believes that this feature can be made
more effective in the coming year. A particular effort is
made to work in conjunction with the Health Board Officers.
Preventive and hygienic measures are being brought to the
attention of the teachers and parents, as far as practicable,
and every measure which seems to add to the health and
efficiency of the pupil is being employed.

REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE
ELIZABETH LOWELL HIGH SCHOOL
Mr. G. H. Galger; Superintendent of Schools:
I hereby submit my report as Principal of the Elizabeth
Lowell High school:
There has been so much discussion in regard to the con-
tinuance of this school, that it seems proper to state these
facts for the consideration of those who are planning for its
future.
The total registration for this year has been 22, of whom
18 are still members. Of these there is a, larger pereenta.ge
of earnest workers, and consequently fewer "time-servers"
than at any time for the past three years. Three of these
pupils are in the senior class, and at least three others will
not be in school next year. Twelve will graduate from the
Grammar school in June and, judging from the past, most
of them will enter High school. Additions from other
sources should bring the attendance up to 25. As no class
will graduate in 1916, further additions from Grammar
schools will increase the student-body to thirty or more.
It appears, then, that t11e school is passing through an
evitable low tide, the rising of which must be considered in
making plans.
Miss Flewelling closed a very satisfactory service of four
years in June. She is greatly missed, both in school activi-
ties and in the community. Her successor, Miss Lucille
Smith, is rapidly winning the favor of those with whom she
comes in contact, and is proving herself an effective teacher.
We are very fortunate in having Miss Flewelling's place so
well filled.
The opportunity for a Commercial course has been ac-
cepted eagerly by a goodly number. The Bookkeeping
159
class numbers ten at present. This subject seems to me to
be one of the best to be offered in the first year's work. It
appeals to every pupil as possessing a practical nature and
unconsciously a disciplinary element is .included, unsur-
passed by any other subject. The pupil learns that abso-
lute exactness is the only means of seeuring any result what-
ever; and when this result is obtained it is so evident that
he experiences a sense of satisfaction perhaps never felt be-
fore in relation to any phase of school work. As Raydt
says, "His purpose to do something correctly is strengthened
and his sense of ecomony, accuracy and order is developed.
Out of such simple elements is formed the character of man,
and bookkeeping has contributed an element to character-
building that the young men'of our time especially need."
An interested class,in Physics now includes all the boys.
Recitations, problems and simple experiments all show the
principles by which everyday phenomena are governed.
Latin seems to be gaining rather than iyaning in popular-
ity. Three classes are now studying the language from
choice. There is no German this year. The seniors have
French, having begun the subject before it was dropped
from the course. They translate and compose rapidly and'
accurately and have read rather more than the usual num-
ber.of texts.
The seniors are studying American authors and reading
extracts from their writings. , They are also reviewing the
principles of rhetoric,'and, the forms of composition.'
The reading reports'are continued for this, the fifth year.
By this system a pupil at graduation has read and reported
on thirty or more good books in addition to'these read in
class. '
We held two public patriotic exercises last year, includ-
ing Memorial Day. After the latter we marched to the
cemetery and decorated the soldiers' graves there.
I wish to publicly acknowledge my pleasure in the happy
relations which have existed between myself and my asso-
160
ciates in .all branches of the school work during the past
three years.

REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE
BARNSTABLE HIGH SCHOOL
G. H. Galger, Superintendent of Schools:
Dear Sir:—
It seems to me that the most important advance in the
last year has been made in the rearrangement of school
hours.
In previous years the school has opened at too late an
hour, and the best part of the forenoon has passed before
the day's work began.
Formerly, the uncertainty as to the time when the trains
would arrive, especially during the winter months, made
the first period of the school day of little value to pupils
coming by the train, and real work could not begin until
nearly noon.
Under the new arrangement, all pupils arrive on time,
begin work together, and gain nearly two hours of most val-
uable time.
The effect of this change has been already apparent and,
of necessity, decidedly beneficial.
Notwithstanding the fact that higher standards of pro-
motion are being set each year, the number of pupils leaving
school has been gradually becoming less, and fewer pupils
than ever before are falling behind the class in their studies.
This is due, I think, in a great measure, to the clearer
understanding that exists in the mind of the pupil of what
school means for him; to a better realization of the need of
close cooperation between teacher and pupil,; to an ever in-
creasing school loyalty and to the lessening, in no small de-
gree, of that world-old misunderstanding between teacher
and pupil.
The United States Commissioner of Education in a list of
162
questions went to High school principals within the last
month asks, "Are you teaching Spanish or Portuguese?"
Do not think that I am about to advise the introduction
of either of these languages into the schools as a study. I
am not—as yet.
We have in town a number of boys and girls of Portu-
guese parentage. Too often these children in their eager-
ness to become good Americans neglect purposely the lan-
guage of their fathers. They speak it only by.,compulsion,
and write it rarely, and I have found some boys who could
do neither.
We are led to believe that there are vast business possi-
bilities in the new trade relations which are springing up
between this country and South America, and.Portuguese is
the language of a large percentage of the inhabitants of
that other America.
It seems to me that the children of Portuguese ancestry
should be encouraged. to speak and write this language, to
be made to feel that to know it is an accomplishment, which
combined with a Commercial course in this school, and a
later course at some good business college may become for
them a valuable business asset.
Practically,considered, the study of Portuguese does not
suffer by comparison with that of French or German.
The examinations of the College Entrance Examination
Board were held at this school in June, under the direction
of Rev. AL. E. Pearson, and the Board examinations will be
given this coming June under Mr. Pearson's direction.
Mr. James Otis on his return from France brought with
him the prizes for the winners in the Drawing.Contest, and
also large "framed photographs of the following:
Equestrian Statue of Colleoni, by Verrochio.
Arch of Titus.
Villa D'Este.
These photographs are now hanging on the front wall of
the main room.
163
In June a check for $5.34 was received from Grade IX,
of the Hyannis Training school, as a contribution to the
fund for an athletic field.

LOUIS M. BOODY.

REPORT OF MUSIC SUPERVISOR
Mr. G. H. Galger, Superintendent of Schools:
Dear Sir:
The course of study being followed this year is similar
'to that described in previous reports. Credit is due
teachers and pupils for the interest they have shown in ac-
complishing the work assigned each week. As a result of
this interest and continuous effort, most of the pupils are
making creditable progress.
"One Hundred and One Best Songs," a book containing
songs every one should know, has been studied to some ex-
tent. In order to test their knowledge of these familiar
airs, students are asked to write the name of a song after
the first phrase has been played or whistled:
Special pizominence is given this year to the study of the
lives of great composers. The story of Mozart's life was
read in January; on January twenty-seventh, the anniver-
sary of his birth, the boys and girls were.eager to tell all
they had learned about this "Wonder Child." They sang,
with pleasure, the songs by Mozart already known and
learned others found in their Music Readers. The Barn-
stable and West Barnstable schools are able, by means of
the Victrolas purchased by them last year, to become ac-
quainted with a larger number of compositions by the best
song writers, than would otherwise be possible.
"Stories of Great Musicians," a book which gives an in-
teresting account of the lives of ten of the composers, has
been added to our school libraries. The names Bach,
I3an.del, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Chopin,
Schubert, Schumann, and Wagner are being learned, and
we believe that, at the close of the year, these names will
not be meaningless to the boys and girls in our schools.
Respectfully submitted,
SYLENDA_B. MORRIS.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING
Mr. G. H. Gabrer, Superintendent of Schools,
Dear Sir:—
You have asked me to tell you in this report what the
pupils have done in dra%ving during the pa. ,t year. I❑
the days of the Walter Smith drawing books, a little chap
said " We's done de pump~ and de coffins and nocv we's
come to de wine glass."
What we have done can hardly he summed up by listing
our subjects in this fashion. We trust we have helped some
eves to see things truly, give❑ their owners confidence that
they can tell how a fe%v simple things look by means of
their own drawings and increased their capacity for enjoy-
inyr and appreciating beauty. I wish that the interested
parents could state. without fear or favor, their Concln-
sions as to their children's work and its value. to them.
Their statements might be enlightening and stimulating
even if humiliating.
The work of the average pupil in a class made up of
many grades must fall short of what he could do if the en-
tire ela.5s w.ere'of one grade.
We can only strive to teach essentials in such classes
of from three to five grades. Can our pupils draw things,
read and work from a simple working, drawing as well as
make one? Are they walking about with their eyes open
to the beauties of their every day surroundings? Are we
helping them to get from (rood pictures anything like the
degree of pleasure that they find in the comic (?) pages of
some daily papers?
The little children love to draw, they love to measure and
make things from paper. By this study their eyes are surely
being trained to closer observation and truer judgments and
168
their hands to'carefuloexpression. They are willing to try
bard that their pictures may grow better and better. The
middle group of the Intermediate rooms works with enthus-
iasm and finds it hard to realize that good drawings are ob-
tained by successive steps, taken thoughtfully, not by a
whirlwind rush. Here begins the real study of the appear-
ance of simple objects, as bowls, cans, pails, in which circles
are seen as ellipses. Here must be emphasized the fact that
the main proportions of an_object must be determined before
we think of any details. The ideas underlying the defini-
Lions of lines and.plane figures we mean to fix in these grades
preparatory for the later definite geometric work.
The higher grades settle to business with varying degrees
of success. Just now in some classes working drawings of
bird houses are in evidence and houses are being made for
certain birds according to space directions given in a national
bulletin.
The object drawing of this higher group becomes vital
when the pupils see that the principles they are learning
apply to things that they love to draw out of doors, and
they look forward to the joys of out-door lessons promised
when wind and weather permit. Color I am sure is
a greater delight to many children, since they wonder just
how they would get on paper the rich browns of the swamp
or the dark tones of a distant hill. Design? That comes
in as we try to give beauty to some common article of real
use in the home, as a sofa pillow or table runner, by the ad-
dition of a fitting decorative pattern. Great satisfaction is
felt by the designer when his own arrangement of geometric
forms, or best of all, his own drawings from a flower or
spray become the motive of this decoration.
Some of the Camp-fire girls have made their own symbolic
designs and applied them to their outfits. The boys and
girls of West Barnstable made and decorated their costumes
169
And banners for the closing exercises of the year, an out-
door pageant, with taste and skill that surprised some of us.
Lettering is used more and more as a matter of course
when programs and posters are needed in school or social
life.
Many interesting drawings made at home'are brought to
us, showing the bent of the individual and frequently sur-
prising talent, that properly developed, might enable its
possessor to become an artisan of high grade. Yet right
here is danger, for in these days talent without tech-
nical training will not carry any man or ,vonian far in the
ranks of skilled workmen. The work of the High school
should round out that of the grades and lead the gifted pupils
to see the need of thorough technical training as an indis-
pensable basis for success in these days of strenuous
competition. There are good schools of design including
our own state textile schools that. offer courses adapted to
pupils of talent who are not able to complete or even to com-
mence High school courses.
During my seven and a half years' teaching in Barnstable,
twenty-four different persons have taught in the five Gram-
mar schools, not counting half a dozen short time substi-
tutes. In one village there have been eight teachers in the
one Grammar school. Is it necessary to dwell on the-re-
lation of this fact to results? We all do our best in every
case, but these set-backs come again and again and our
efforts must be re-doubled.
The pupils of the Barnstable High school are working
with more than their usual earnestness. The chano-e of
hours gives a better start for work each day. A good
number of juniors and seniors with whom drawing is elec-
tive are continuing this study. The time element is a large
factor in successful High school drawing. The pupils who
realize this and secure two or more periods per week are
doing superior work.

The prizes given by Mr. James Otis are stimulating to
many pupils. His constant and helpful interest is highly
appreciated. ,
May I call your attention to the emphasis placed by the
Board of Education upon the value to.communities of even-
ing classes in mechanical drawing. Knowing what such
classes mean to men in other towns, and having a personal
interest, through my long service, in so many of the young
men, I am very anxious to see such classes established.
The difficulties are not insurmountable. There are capable
men, graduates of technical schools, and practical men, liv-
ing here who could be obtained to teach such classes. One
in Hyannis, one in Osterville, possibly another in West
Barnstable, would be paying investments for this town.
The rapidly increasing population of the latter village
shows unusual capacity and interest in work calling for
skill of hand and trained eye.
The wage-earning power of these children can be increased
by wise teaching at the only stage when we are sure of them.
Very few as yet of these,newer residents see that the High
schools offer anything that they want.. Given a room fitted
for systematic work and the right instructors, great things
could be done for this village. Evening classes too, could
easily be made a power for good.
Respectfully submitted,
LUELLA FAY MAYNARD.

I take pleasure in presenting the foregoing report for
work done on the roads of the town for the past year. As
will be seen the amount expended in each case has, with two
exceptions, been within the appropriation.
The total of the unexpended balances amount to
$1,086.44, while the amount expended in excess of the ap-
propriation has been $227.55, thus leaving an unexpended
balance for the year of $858.89. To my knowledge there
are no bills outstanding, excepting the amount due for the
repairing of Common Field Bridge, which amount is
$500.00 as per a contract which has been made for doing
this work. This would have been paid except for the reason
that the work is not yet completed. When this amount is
paid there will still .be left a net unexpended balance of
$358.89. While I feel that much has been accomplished the
past year there are still many roads that need attention, and
should I be fortunate enough to serve the town the coming
,year I trust that the appropriations made for roads will
be sufficient to enable me to do the work that is really
needed and accomplish even greater results than this year.
Respectfully submitted,
JOYCE TAYLOR,
Surveyor of Highways.

REPORT OF MILK INSPECTOR
Marstons Mills, Jan. 29, 1916.
To the Board of Lealth of Barnstable,'
Gentlemen
I hereby submit a report of my work as Inspector of Milk
since June 1, 1915.
I have made 219 dairy inspections.
I have analyzed 112 samples of milk.
There have been six prosecutions on account of watered
milk, with six convictions. One of the cases was appealed.
While improvements come slowly, yet the dairy condi-
tions in town improve each year.
It is ;ratifying to note that during the past year the pro-
ducers as a rule have been more careful in the handling of
their milk, desiring to have nothing but the best.
The analysis of milk shows that the product is of superior
quality, both in richness and cleanliness, it being necessary
in only a few cases to notify the producer regarding needed
changes, or to visit the dairy, only to find that the trouble
was caused by not properly mixing the herd milk.
The milk sent from this town to the milk show held in
Boston on January 4, 5 and G, was of such high quality in
every way, that the superintendent of the show said that
there was no milk in the show that was equal to it. I be-
lieve the milk that is being produced in town will compare
well with that being produced in any other city or town in
s-9
122
the state. it would be well if more cows could be raised in
town.
There is being sold in this town more than ten thousand
dollars worth of canned milk each year, and'ns many as a0
per cent. of the people of whom I have inquired why they
buy it, tell me that it is because they cannot get the fresh
milk when they want it.
Yours respectfully,
GEORGE T. MECARTA,
Inspector of Milk.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
To the School Committee of Barnstable:
In accordance with the rules of the School Committee, I
herewith submit my eleventh annual report on the public
schools for the year ending December 31, 1915, the same
being the twenty-fifth in the series of Superintendents' re-
ports.
SCHOOL BUILDINGS
REPAIRS AND IMPROVEMENTS ACCOMPLISHED
Under the head of "Repairs" are included expenditures
for all repairs of whatever. nature, additional furniture,
janitors' supplies, cleaning of buildings, etc.
The expenditures for repairs the past year were larger
than usual, due to installing basement sanitaries in the
Barnstable building, a much needed and appreciated im-
provement.
The expenditures for section 3, Barnstable village, in-
clude those for the purpose mentioned above.
The expenditures for section 6, West Barnstable, include
those for repairs to the crematory system.
The expenditures for section 11, Cotuit, include those for
fire hose at the High school, .fences at the Grammar school,
and. many miscellaneous repairs at the latter school, a part
of which were rendered necessary by State requirements.
The expenditures for section 17, Training school, include
those for additional seats, repairs on plumbing and roof., and
putting up about sixty new curtains.
The expenditures for section 18, Barnstable High school,
160
include the cost of installing "town water," furnishing the
Principal's office, additional seats and miscellaneous repairs.
The expenditures for- section 20, Centerville, include
those for a new pumping engine, new curtains, grading, re-
pairs to fences, etc.
The expenditures for sections 10, 12 and 13, Santuit,
Marstons Mills and Osterville, were for repairs of a minor
character, except that in Marstons Mills those for new seats
for the Grammar school are included.
IMPROVEMENTS-NEEDED
The condition of most of'our school buildings 4is now
such that only comparatively slight repairs should be neces-
sary for some time. Two exceptions are the Cotuit Gram-
mar school building, and the Training school building. The
former, even with its many repairs, is still below the stand-
ard of the other school buildings in town, and is generally
unsatisfactory in its arrangements and appointments. . The
ceilings and walls and interior woodwork of the Training
school should be thoroughly renovated. Nothing has been
done to these since the building was erected twenty years
ago.
BARNSTABLE AND ITS SCHOOL BUILDINGS
With the reconstruction, in a highly satisfactory man-
ner, of the TVrarstons Mills school building, of Barristable's
ten school buildings, nine may fairly be reckoned from good
to excellent. It is doubtful if any town in the State excels
this record. It demonstrates the willingness of the voters
of Barnstable to provide proper physical conditions for the
schooling of the children. It also clearly puts teachers and
all school officials under obligations to use constantly their
utmost endeavors to make the work done in the schools cor-
respond. Incidentally it puts the pupils also under obliga-
161
tion to show some appreciation of the sacrifices involved, by
applying themselves to their work with reasonable industry
and energy.
THE TRAINING SCHOOL PROBLEM
For the past ten years there has been a slow, but steady
increase in the membership of the Training school. The
building accommodates, on a reasonable seating basis, 216
pupils. By crowding, 240 may be accommodated. During
the fall term 274 different pupils were enrolled. Of these
27 were housed in a room of the Normal school building, an
arrangement which is not likely to be permanent. Unless
the school population of. Hyannis shall decrease, which
seems improbable, the question of increased accommodations
will soon become a pressing one. Whether this questio7
can best be solved by an addition to the present building,
by the purchase of a portable building or by other means,
will not be easy.to decide. Another factor in the matter is
' the inadequate size of the present playground.
MEMBERSHIP AND ATTENDANCE
The school year ending in June showed an increase in
membership of thirty-four over that of the preceding year.
The fall enrolment was 923, an increase of forty over the
enrolment of the preceding fall. The attendance, though
interfered with by outbreaks 'of contagious diseases,
equalled that of last year. The attendance ir- Santuit has
- ;:Lown marked improvement. Truancy cases in West Barn-
.stable and Hyannis have been confined to a few boys.
Some employers of minors seem to be unaware of the many
restrictions imposed by the laws of 1q1.3 in regard to the .
employment of minors under sixteen tears of aig;e, and of
the severe penalities which may be incurred by a violation
of these laws.
162
The establishment of the Grammar school at DIarstons
Mills has relieved the pressure of numbers at Santuit and
West Barnstable.
An analysis of the record enrolment of the fall term,
923, shows the increase to be confined chiefly to the villages
of Barnstable, West Barnstable, Osterville and Hyannis, the
increase, as compared with the enrolment ten years ago,
varying from 32 per cent. to 66 per cent. The Primary
school at Osterville with an enrolment of 44 in three grades,
and the Principal's room at the 'Training school with an en-
rolinent of 43 in two grades, offer conditions making effec-
tive administration difficult.
SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
. The increasing importance of, the work of the School
'Physician is becoming widely recognized, and many towns,
which before have appropriated only nominal sums for such
work, are now making provision for much more thorough
work. A campaign for the promotion of sound teeth is now
on, and in a number of towns the teeth of the school children
are regularly examined by competent dentists.
High medical authorities are now discouraging the clos-
ing of schools during epidemics, claiming that it is useless
and often harmful, though this opinion is not shared by all.
Attention is called to the report of the School Physician.
TRANSPOR'TA'TION
Transportation is now apparently more satisfactorily
accomplished than at any previous time, and the new ar-
rangcments for the High schools and Marstons Mills are a
decided improvement over past conditions. 11lany inquiries
have been received from different parts of the State in re-
gard to our auto-barge service.
163
CHANGES IN THE TEACHING FORCE
Changes in teachers, totaling sixteen, took place in
nearly half the schools during the year. Nearly all the
teachers resigning did good, and some excellent, work.
Among those whose work merited special commendation
were Mabel K. Baker, Annie H. Bearse, Mr. Cargill, Florence
V. Chapman, Mr. Crocker, Miss Morss, and Miss Nutter.
The efficient work of Miss Ormsby led to her promotion to a
desirable position in Belmont, Miss Nutter was elected as-
sistant_teacher in the Chicopee High school, and Mr. Car-
gill was elected to a superintendency in Vermont. Miss
Morss was elected to a position in the Boston schools.
Miss Stearns, who did good work in the much overcrowded
Primary school at Osterville, resigned in June to become a
permanent resident of that village.
The names of those appointed to fill the various vacan-
cies may be found in the "List of Teachers."
Two additional-teachers were called for by the organiza-
tion of a Grammar school at Marstons Mills, and the pres-
sure of work at the Barnstable High school. The need of
the latter teacher was mentioned in last year's report, and
later, upon a visit by one of its representatives, the State
Board declined to approve the school until such additional
teacher should be appointed.
Mabelle M. Boody, who had had previous successful ex-
perience in the same line in the Town, was elected-Super-
visor of Music, upon the resignation of Miss Morris.
Upwards of seventy-five candidates were interviewed,
and. their records investigated., in attempting to fill the va-
cancies mentioned above. Surprisingly few were able to
give satisfactory evidence of fitness, and of these many were
able to choose between several positions offered.. So many
towns of approximately the same population as Barnstable,
have within the last few years, raised their maximum an-
nual salary for grade teachers to $700 that this may soon be-
1.64
come the generally accepted standard. Should this become
the fact, with our present salary standard and price of
board, our prospects of securing satisfactory teachers can-
not be said to be brilliant. It should be explained that in
towns adopting the above standard it is customary to be-
gin teachers at $450 or $500, and reach the maximum by
annual increases of from $25 to $50, the prime object being
to hold good teachers as many years as possible by a pro-
gressive financial recognition of their worth.

RANK OF BARNSTABLE IN SCHOOL APPROPRIA-
TIONS-
TAX BURDEN
In the amount appropriated to the support of the public
schools to each thousand dollars of valuation Barnstable
ranks two hundred seventy-first, eighty-two towns taxing
themselves more lightly, and two hundred seventy, more
heavily than Barnstable. The average for the State is
$4.54; that for Barnstable $4.20.
TEXT-BOOKS AND SUPPLIES
Barnstable expended in 1915, based ou the average mem-
bership of the schools, $1.95 per pupil for books and sup-
plies. , The average for the State is $2.14; for Barnstable
county, $2.65.
TRANSPORTATION
Barnstable still leads the State in the total expended on
transportation, though by no means in the cost per school
population, or in the cost per pupil transported.
SCHOOL DEPARTMENT FINANCES
SCHOOL PURPOSES
In the ten-year comparison of expenditures in,last year's
report it was noted that the expenditures for the running
expenses of the schools had increased in almost exactly the
same ratio as the expenditures for the running expenses of
the other Town departments. It was also noted that
though the total expenditures for the schools had been
largely increased, the total tax-burden had increased but 14
cents per thousand, due to the fortunate increase in the val-
cation of the Town. With an increasing membership in the
schools, and the strong tendency toward higher wage stand-
ards, there seems to be but little prospect of reduced ex-
penditures in this department. Under such conditions it is
clearly the duty of those connected with the schools to prac-
tice a rigid, though not harmful, economy, and to seek to
obtain an adequate return in value for every dollar ex-
pended.
The expenditures for "School Purposes" in 1915 were
$28,838.95, an increase of $1,040.06 over those of 1914, due
mainly to the employment of new-teachers, increases in
janitors' salaries, and some schedule increases in teachers'
salaries.
In the general salary scheme adopted about two years
,ago, the minimum salary for grade teachers was made $450
with an increase of $5 per month for the second and third
,years, respectively, making the maximum salary $540. The
salary of Grammar school principals was fixed at a minimum
of $720, with a maximum of $810, due the third year of ser-
vice. A number of scheduled increases, due the second
,year of service, were.not made last year, owing to financial
conditions. Such of these teachers as remained with us,
and. are now entering on their third year of service, should
be given the scheduled increase the ensuing year. There
will be some decreased expenditures, due to the employment
of new teachers at less than the maximum salaries. The in-
creases and decreases are approximately as follows:

Leachers, SG3 18
• Total salary increases, $972 1S
Under "School Purposes" are included all school sal-
aries of whatever kind, expenditures for fuel, and for small
items classed under the head of "Miscellaneous." The
opening up of the reconstructed Marstons Mills school, and
of the new building at Osterville will call for increased fuel
expenditures, just how much it is difficult to say. To main-
tain a constant current of fresh air, properly warmed, pass- ,
ing through a school building, certainly costs money at the
present price of coal, but the results in comfort and health
are probably worth the price.
If, by the employment ofnew teachers at less than the
maximum salaries, a greater:saving than is now anticipated
is made, it is possible that about a thousand dollars over last
year's appropriation will take care of salaries, fuel and mis-
cellaneous items, though this would seem to be a minimum
estimate..
TEXT-BOOBS AND SUPPLIES
Although there has been a considerable increase,in the
membership of the schools, it may be possible to make the
same amount as appropriated last year do for "Text-books
and Supplies."
169
TRANSPORTATION
Unless unforeseen changes take place in the transporta-
tion service, the sum of $6,020 will be sufficient for "Trans-
portation." The appropriation for 1915 was $6,500.
REPAIRS
It is not possible at the present writing to state what
will be needed-under "Repairs." A bill of $424.50 for
seats for the new Osterville school, one of $206, balance due
on the Barnstable work, one of $130.85 for curtains for the
Osterville and Marstons Mills schools, one of $81.61 for the
Waterman-Training school fence, and a number of other
bills contracted, but not presented in 1915, will have to be
paid from'the 1916 appropriation. It would seem to be de-
sirable that hereafter insurance on school buildings should
include insurance on their contents.
SUMMARY, ESTIMATES FOR 1916
1915 1916

Should the income from miscellaneous sources prove less
than that of last year, which is not improbable, the above
appropriations might prove hardly adequate. Under the
new law expenditures cannot be made in excess of appro-
priations, and this should be taken into consideration in vot-
ing the latter.
B-12
1�1?
The estimates mentioned above are subject to revision by
the School Board.
If the appropriations for 1916 are made according to the
above suggestions the tax burden for schools, based on the
present valuation of the town, will be $4.11, as compared
with $4.20 last ,year. Each additional hundred dollars
voted would add approximately one cent per thousand to
the tax.
COMPARATIVE TABLE OF RELATIVE EXPENDI-
TURES
The following table shows the percentages of the total
school expenditures expended for the items mentioned for
the years 1905 and 1915:
Salaries: 1905 1915
Teachers, 52.80 50.30
Janitors, 5.40 6.20
Supervisors, e 4.20 3.60
Superintendent and Secretary, 6.30 4.50
Text-books and Supplies, 4.80 4.00
Fuel, 6.50 7.00
Transportation, 11.60 16.00
Repairs, 5.80 7.40
Census and miscellaneous, 2.60 1.00
100.00 100.00
It will bey seen that there has been a relative decrease in
the proportional expenditures for the salaries of teachers,
supervisors and superintendent, for text-books and supplies,
and for miscellaneous items, and a relative increase in the
proportional expenditures for fuel, repairs, transportation
and janitors' wages, the largest relative increase being for
transportation.
COST OF SCHOOLS PER PUPIL, 1915
The following table shows the cost of the schools per,
pupil for each item mentioned, based on the number of dif-
ferent pupils enrolled during 1915:
Teaching, $21 60

A VITAL NEED
Three great obstacles to the efficient administration of
rural schools are:
1. The brief tenure of service of the teachers.
2. ' The many grades to a teacher.
3. Constructing and operating successfully a suitable
curriculum.
The second prevents absolutely, through lack of time, the
careful teaching and especially the thorough drill so neces-
sary to secure permanent results.
The third is ostensibly the task of school officials, but its
successful execution, extremely difficult in itself, is limited
by constantly changing and unforeseen conditions, by public
opinion, and by financial considerations. It should be said
that the endeavors of the present State Board in attempting
to prepare courses of study especially suited to rural school
conditions have already proved to be of value.
The first however is, and unfortunately promises I for
some time to remain, the chief obstacle.
Any educational policy worthy of the name requires for
i?2
its effective realization ,planning, and organized and con-
nected effort, not for a few, but for many years. It is evi-
dent that such a policy cannot be as efficiently carried out
by a constantly changing as by a more permanent body of.
teachers. When teachers can be retained long enough to
become home members in feeling and fact of the community
in which they work, preferring to live and labor where they
are to anywhere else, understanding and sympathizing with
both the limitations and aspirations of the boys and girls
who are their pupils and with the best aims of thoughtful
parents, then and only then can work be done worthy to be
called teaching and training. For ourselves we have not
far to look for a striking example of this in a teacher who
has recently completed twenty years of work in and for tht;
town of Barnstable.
So thoroughly is the retention of good teachers recog-
nized as the vital factor in securing.good rural schools that
legislation is already taking shape toward that end, and it
seems probable that public school teaching will eventually
be done under substantially civil service conditions. Thal
will mean that all candidates for teaching positions will be
compelled to pass rigid tests as to their fitness and training
for the work, and. that pull, favoritism and relationship will
be largely eliminated in the appointment of teachers. Con-
versely, a, competent teacher will not be subject to unjust
discharge through the whirr of a superintendent or the dis-
satisfaction of two or three individuals. With competent
teachers appointed and retained on merit only, our boys and
girls will begin to receive the thorough training which is
indispensable to their right development.
PROGRESS OF THE SCHOOLS
The improvements in the school building at Barnstable
village, the enlargement of the Marstons Mills school, and
the co 1 mpletion of the new building at Osterville mark the

most important steps in the improvement of the physical
conditions of the schools during the past year.
Except for the interruptions caused by change of teach-
ers-and the absences caused by outbre'�ks of contagions
diseases, the work in most of the Elementary schools has been
up to its usual standard. The State courses of study, with
some modifications, have been used in several subjects and
have proved helpful. The completion of very thorough and
costly investigations into the methods and results of teach-
ing spelling has resulted in a contribution of genuine value,
and there is now an excellent prospect of improved teaching
in that subject. In a lesser degree the same is true of
arithmetic.
The employment of an additional teacher at the Barn-
stable High school has permitted much more time to be given
to history and civics, subjects whose importance can hardly
be exaggerated. To the right teaching of these subjects
throughout the schools of our country we may in the future
owe our escape from conditions such as now in Europe hor-
rify and disgrace the civilized world.
With the.added help in the teaching force in this school,
three years of French and, three years of German are now
offered, instead of four years of German, as formerly.
Shorthand was introduced last fall into the course at the
Elizabeth Lowell High school, and the instructor reports that
the pupils in that subject and in typewriting are doing
faithful work: In bookkeeping, taken in alternate years,
the so-called Budget System is used, the work in which close-
ly approximates actual business practices.
Leading educational authorities, backed by business men
and many others, continue to insist on the need of radical
reforms in the curriculums of our High schools, insisting
that many of the subjects now taught are not those best
fitted to develop efficient all-round men and women. These
criticisms not infrequently become specific; for instance, we
are asked what good reason can be given for compelling
175
every High school girl to struggle through the abstractions
of algebra for one year, and through the history of the bar-
barons warfare of a Julius Cesar for another-, and the most
ardent defenders of the old curriculums fail to make an
answer that satisfies even themselves. On the other hand,
when the critics are asked to suggest substitutes of proved
value for the subjects criticised, their answers are varied
and often contradictory. It is easier to criticise than to
construct.
But never before in the history of educational develop-
nient has the spirit of corning together for the mutual study
of great problems and the open-minded consideration of
each other's ideas grown so rapidly as in the last.few years.
In addition, liundreds of competent scholars, whose work is
well paid. for by the various educational fpundations, are
laboring hard to,secure a body of facts from which definite
and undeniable conclusions can be drawn as to educational.
processes and needs.
Meanwhile the teachers of Barnstable, in common with
thousands of public school teachers throughout the length
and. breadth of the land, are striving to develop in each pupil
to their highest degree the essential qualities of good citizen-
ship, industry, honor and unselfishness.

REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE
BARNSTABLE HIGH SCHOOI,
Mr. G. H. Galger, Superintendent of Schools:
Dear Sir:—
I hereby submit to you the report of the teachers of the
Barnstable High school:
FRENCH AND ENGLISH
In response to a demand on the part of 'some college
preparatory pupils, an elementary course in French was in-
troduced this year for seniors. The course aims to fit for,
the college entrance examination for which two years'
study is usually required. The work is, therefore, re-
stricted. to fundamental grammar principles and translation.
The English department is striving to connect more
closely the work of the class room with the daily life'of the
pupils. One recitation a month is reserved for Book Day,
as in many large city High schools. At this time each pupil
presents to the class a review of his outside reading'for the
month, justifying his choice of material. As far as pos-
sible this recitation is left to the management of the class,
the teacher merely acting as critic. In-order to make the
theme work more nearly represent the real interests of the
pupils, each person is held responsible for one weekly com-
position,to be passed in upon a certain day each week. The
theme due upon that date may be written upon any subject
and at any time during the week; however, themes which are
late do not receive full credit. The object of this arrange-
ment is, of course, to increase the personal responsibility of
the individual, thereby making him more self-reliant.

SHORTHAND 1
While the High schools in general do not aim to turn out
finished stenographers, they do try to send out accurate,
businesslike workers who have laid a good foundation for a
business career. Our High school seniors are faithful work-
ers and those who do enter the business world should make
good. They take dictation and transcribe it on the type-
writer three times a week. Once a week they read stories
written in shorthand. '
The juniors have covered a larger part of the principles
and can now take slow dictation of simple matter. They
seem to enjoy their shorthand, especially the reading of
shorthand sentences and stories.
TYPEWRITING
When the touch system of typewriting was first intro-
duced it was thought that only the especially gifted student
would be able to master it, but today the system is generally
taught in all schools that give commercial instruction. The
Barnstable High school is one of its followers, and the stu-
dents take kindly to the blank keys and shields after they
are once well started on their typewriting. As there are
eight Remingtons to one Underwood type\'vriter, use follow
the Remington Award. plan. Five of the seniors have now
Remington pennants for writing twenty-five words a minute
for ten .minutes with not more than ten errors. One senior
has earned. a leather card-case for writing at a speed of forty
words a minute for ten minutes with not more than ten er-
rors. The juniors have only just begun speed work, but
some of them will surely win some award before the close
of the school year.
BOOKKEEPING
In bookkeeping the High school aims to teach the funda-
mental principles of debit and credit, as only a year is de-
voted to the subject. Accuracy and neatness are em-
178
phasized.. Every business has its own method of bookkeep-
ing, and they who have thoroughly learned the fundamental
principles of value received and value parted with, ought to
be able to adapt themselves to any simple'system.
PENMANSHIP AND SPELLING
The second. year pupils have made a decided improve-
ment in penmanship since September. The muscular move-
ment writing drills have been used, but the end in view has
been more to improve the individual's writing than to in-
sist on strict conformity to the muscular movement writing.
Spelling seems to be the bugaboo of the present genera-
tion, but the High school hopes that the present sophomore
class will prove an exception to the rule and graduate with
a reputation as good. spellers. Words of practical value
are studied.
A business man in one of our large cities, was asked not
long ago what hind. of boys he liked to take into his business.
He replied., "Boys that can write, a good legible hand
rapidly, spell correctly, and. add accurately. I'll take care
of their business training." The High school commercial
course should produce such.
ETHEL H. Dow
SCIENCE
'The work of this department has been along similar lines
for the past four years. It has aimed in every course to be
practical and. of most use to the majority of the students.
We have consistently followed out a systematic plan for each
of the three years of science work given in the school.
The tendency of many has been to give the first year
pupils a smattering of all sorts of sciences during the first
year. The only argument advanced for this scheme is that
r
179
most pupils do not go beyond the first year, and so should
have an id.ea of as many sciences as possible. Our purpose,
on the other hand, is to do one thing at a time, and do that
one thing as well as possible. - The first year science work
has been the one science, Biology, and those parts of.the
science which enforce the lesson of right living and proper
appreciation of one's environment are the parts which have
been chosen for class use. We believe that a boy or girl in
the country should be, as familiar as possible with the-things
in Nature which lie or she sees every day. I3e should know
how things live and grow; and he should know.what plants
and animals are useful. This, and much more is the sub-
ject matter of Biology, the science of living things.
We have had some occasion for practical work in clean-
ing up, partially at least, some groves on the school lot, dem-
onstrating the proper care of woodlots, and the disposal of
brush to avoid .forest fires. A neighboring woodlot care-
lessly cleaned, gave a striking example of,the results of fire,
in woods not properly cut. Experiments in landscape
gardening included the malting of paths around our pond.,
and. the building of a rustic bridge across one corner of it,
and the planting of several trees at different places on the
v school lot; The bridge was destroyed by village boys soon
after it was finished', but a snap-shot of it is on file in the
Hyannis library in the book showing views of local ponds.
In Physics, a new book, much simpler than the one in
former use, is giving good results. A new experiment book
has also proved successful_ The class this year had done
enough experiments at the end of January for admission to
Normal schools, and most colleges.
In Chemistry as in Physics, the practical is always em-
phasized. The first .half of the year is occupied almost en-
tirely by experiments performed by the members of the
class. Such important experiments as show the contents of
drinking water, its various impurities and methods of Puri-
fication, are always given a prominent place in the course.
180
Every ,year some pupil finds that his drinking water is con-
taminated. In many cases the trouble can be traced to the
location of cesspools or outbuildings. The chemistry of com-
mon things of household use is studied whenever possible,
and just enough theory is introduced to show the chemical
explanation of the various phenomens studied.
Two courses in history have been included in the duties
of the science teacher this year. General History is given
the freshmen, and American History the seniors. Both
classes show interest in the work, especially the seniors,many
of whom are to take college and Normal school examinations
in the subject.
It might be well to add by way of conclusion that a wide
variety of subjects is very exacting of the teacher, and not
too much should be expected from him. Any one of these
subjects is usually considered all that one teacher can handle
properly, and if a teacher has two, the second subject '.,;
usually of minor importance, and comes only once a day per-
haps. But these five subjects come practically every day
in the week and. keep the interest of the teacher very much
divided. There are in addition, two courses open to seniors
preparing for examinations in Physics and Chemistry.
These courses come only once a week,"but if properly cared
for take several hours of the teacher's time for preparation.
' W. SHERMAN ATWOOD
As the work in German has been along the same lines as
in the previous year no special report has been deemed
necessary.
SCHOOL FUND
Each year there are in the graduating class ambitious
pupils who are eager to-continue their education elsewhere,
but who lack the necessary funds. Many of these attend
the local Normal school. There are others, however, who
prefer the.training given by the colleges and technical
schools.
A boy,if sufficiently in earnest, can work his way through.
college, but for a girl it is an entirely different proposition,
and. I wish some way could be found to help our ambitious
girls. We have a small amount available for this purpose,
but as it is only one hundred and twenty dollars, it can be
considered only as the nucleus of a fund, and yet small as
this sum is, by its judicious use we have been able to give
valuable aid.in several instances. After the money has been
raised for a new piano I purpose conducting a campaign for
the increase of this fund. In the meantime any one wishing
to help may send. his contribution to Mr. Edward L..Chase,
the custodian of the .fund.
ATHLETICS
There has been far more interest shown-this year than
ever before in. the out of door games.
Beginning with base ball in the early spring, and con-
tinuing with. foot ball and basket ball in the fall and winter
months, the enthusiasm and interest has not abated, and-
-during the coming year under the leadership of Mr. Gilder-
sleeve, it is to be hoped that this enthusiasm and•interest
may extend to the well-wishes of the school to the end, that
we may obtain that athletic field which we have so long de-
sired.
PUBLIC DAYS
Thanks are due the following gentlemen for most inter-
esting talks to the school.:
1st
Mr. Marcus At. Haskell, subject, Lincoln.
Mr. Russell Scott, subject, The Belgium Refugees.
Dr. E. P. Tuller, subject, The Surrender of Lee.
Rev. M. E. Pearson, subject, Japan.
Memorial exercises were held as usual, which were at-
tended by the members of the two G. A. R. Posts, the
Woman's Relief Corps, and many other friends of the school.
Exercises of a similar character will be held on May
29, 19.16, which the public is cordially invited to attend.
COLLEGE BOARD EXAMINATIONS
The College Board examinations were given at this school
in.June, and by the request of the Board will be given this
coming June under the supervision of Rev. M. E. Pearson.

REPORT OF PRINCIPAL OF ELIZABETH,
LOWELL HIGH SCHOOL
Mr.. G. H. Galger, Superintendent of Schools:—
I have the pleasure of presenting herewith my_annual
report.
The registration for the year has been quite uniform,
the losses from graduation and withdrawals being offset by
additions from the Grammar school. Attendance during
the fall term was -unusually good, the average being over
96 per cent.
In May we had an annoying interruption, as we were
obliged to close on account of scarlet fever. Such an event
always occasions a serious loss of interest and enthusiasm
besides valuable time and. money. Larger places no longer
close their schools on account of contagious diseases, as
authorities agree that danger of infection is far greater
when the children are allowed to mingle without restraint
than when they are in school under the oversight of the
teacher. During this enforced vacation of ours some of
the boys went camping together, played ball with other
teams, and met freely at the postoffice, library, stores and
wherever they wished.. Very few were kept at home.
The modern method is to isolate the sufferers and exam-
ine the other pupils every morning until danger of new
cases is past. This allows the school work to go on as usual
and affords greater satisfaction than the closing of the
school indefinitely.
The graduation exercises in June, although hastily pre-
pared, were of a high degree of excellence, and the gra.diu-
ates received many merited compliments for their work.
The singing was very good indeed., and we are indebted to
Rev. A. S. Muirhead, who kindly assisted in training the
pupils.
187
A single-session plan has been in use'since October, and
its advantages seem to justify its continuance. Next year,
when there are four classes, it may be necessary to add an-
other period to give the necessary time to all subjects.
Greater earnestness of purpose is evident this year,
especially in the entering class. Each one has a definite
aim for something beyond the High school course. The
tendency here, as elsewhere, is toward the practical courses,
the technical and business courses being most commonly
chosen, as the table will show.
The third year English class is studying the history of
English,Literature, with readings from the most important
authors studied. The other classes are doing appropriate
work in Rhetoric and Composition, also varied with reading.
One period per week is devoted to spelling and news of the
day, "Current Events" being used for both. A large gen-
eral class is studying the History of Modern Europe, which
will give a comprehensive idea of the various elements that
.have combined to make the present conflict possible. The
Chemistry class spent most of the fall term in the study of
water, and its component elements. Both school and home
supplies were tested for .impurities. The rest of the year
.will emphasize the composition of- air, ventilation, fuels,
foods and fabrics. Endeavor is made in Physics and Com-
mercial Geography also, to bring the subjects.close to the
daily lives and reading of the pupils.
Miss Smith is getting good results in her Mathematics
and Latin classes, and especially in her commercial subjects.
Typewriting was chosen by all who were eligible, and every
one is working enthusiastically and making commendable
progress.
Some excellent work in drawing has been accomplished
by Mrs. Maynard's pupils. Last year sl-.e generously
awarded prizes for the best work in the different groups.
Miss Anna Harlow received the award for Design, Miss
Marion Coleman for Freehand, and Ormond Dottridge for
i8g
Mechanical. Wilbur Stubbs also did good work in Me-
chanical.
Our work in DIusic is not particularly creditable. Mrs.
Bood.y is working hard, but does not meet with the support
which she deserves froin the pupils, most of whom fail to
realize the pleasure to be derived froin a hearty cooperation
with her. The Corona Song Book has just been introduced
and we hope this may be an inspiration to better results.
To repeat a well-worn subject, we wish more parents
would keep in close touch with the daily work of their
children, as far better results are seen when Father or
Mother is keeping a close watch, and giving encouragement
or pressure as the case my require. .
+ Respectfully submitted,
B. W. SANDERSON.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING
Mr. G. H. Galger, Superintendent of Schools:
Dear Sir:—
The drawing and hand work of the school year 1915 have
been carried forward. along lines•repeatedly described.in our
annual reports. The results obtained in different pre-
cincts show, in a marked degree, the setbacks occasioned by
the frequent changes among our teachers as well as the
steady gain that follows when men and women remain at
their posts long enough to put their personality into their
work. The Osterville school opened in September; 1914,
with a new teacher in each room. All three resigned in
June and September, 191.5, saw these children handed over to
another set of teachers. In another village last ,year four
different men prepared the ninth grade for the High school.
Loss does come from the constant readjustments that are
inevitable in these cases, no matter how well trained the
teachers obtained; and it is only fair to say that the teachers
of Barnstable are chosen with. great care and judgment.
Habits, of study are not formed under constantly changing
conditions. I have watched. the effect of these changes on
the children of this town so many years that I cannot refrain
from again calling the attention of parents to them. Bat
for these almost constant changes in the teaching force, my.
work could. be strengthened by longer fortnightly, instead of
brief weekly visits, thus giving time for more thorough
supervision.
1 The supervisor plans, suggests, criticizes and stimulates
the regular teacher; the latter, when he has a good grasp on '
_ his subject, gets into closer contact with. the pupil, and
knows his mental makeup and his needs far better than a
supervisor can. Economy that hinders the development of
192
your children is unjustifiable. Deep your fine teachers if
you love your children.
The longer I teach in rural schools, the surer I am that
intensive study along one line of work for quite a long
time is more profitable for schools of several grades than-the
graded .school custom of presenting each important phase
of drawing for a short time every year.
Object drawing was made the chief topic in the Gram-
mar schools the first half of last year. This indoor study of
the appearance of common things prepares for the outdoor
drawing of the simple houses, barns, sheds that are to be
seen near our schoolhouses. These first steps in sketching
are taken in the spring whenever outdoor drawing is rea-
sonable.
This winter we are bringing all our strength to bear on
working drawings. West Barnstable, having had no equip-
ment for bench work, has made much of mechanical draw-
ing, having used successfully for several years a kit consist-
ing of a small board, T square and triangles. These kits
have just been placed in the other Grammar schools. The
freehand sketches or drafts by which principles have hereto-
fore been taught will now be reproduced on the drawing
boards with proper tools. By this means we hope to teach
every boy to make and read simple working' drawings.
While thi§ work may not seem as useful for girls, it does
emphasize the value of clean-cut, accurate work, and is not
only helpful, but necessary if good work is to be done in
the many lines of construction and decoration that appeal
especially to women.
November and December were, as heretofore, given over
to Christmas interests. At this time the hand work'cal.led
for is related to, or based on drawing. This work varies
with the capacities and tastes of teachers and pupils. We
hope that it impresses upon the individual the fact that no
good results in construction or decoration can be secured
without definite plans that state exactly what must be done?
193
also that these statements are made by means of drawings,
and that blunders in drawing lead to waste and disappoint-
ment.
Although there has been no systematic instruction in
woodwork, at Barnstable village, the older boys built last
spring, a seaworthy boat, that they expect to sell. This
school was much indebted in the past to its faithful janitor,
Mr. Dixon, for the assistance in the woodwork, that he gave
the boys while he was with us. Here, as in Cotuit, the girls
sew while the boys work at the bench or mechanical drawing
during the last hour Friday afternoons. Some bird.houses
were made in all the schools last spring. . Interest in them
was first awakened by prizes offered the Centerville boys
by Mr. Howard Marston. It is hoped that this interest
will continue and increase in every school.
West Barnstable, with its meagre outfit, a jig saw,
bracket saws, and a half dozen essential tools,has done much
interesting work. The boys, many of them little fellows,
have made bird houses, letter holders, picture frames, match
scratchers, watch holders, and at Christmas many wooden
toys, as bears, dogs, elephants, roosters, soldiers, kewpies,
and Mother Goose characters.
Sales have been held during the year to raise money
for, school purposes. Many articles offered for sale had
been made or decorated by the pupils. Among these were
stenciled book and magazine covers, table runners, bureau
scarfs with hemstitched ends, covers for recipe books, blocl.-,
printed table mats, and sash curtains, handkerchief cases,
candy boxes, and games calling for careful lettering. Post-
•ers, well spaced and lettered, are made when it is desirable
to advertise local entertaimnents, These are put up in pub-
lic places. Of course this means that enthusiasm is aroused
to an extent that leads pupils to work noons at school and
nights at home to carry out West Barnstable schemes.
Especial credit is due here because so little help can be
given in many of these homes. Lettering for service is not
194
confined to this school. Whenever in other precincts there
is occasion to use programs, handbills or posters, excellent
ones are made and used. This has long been the Center-
ville habit.
Drawing is required in the first two years of the High
school course. The first year pupils had for some time been
allowed to elect freehand or mechanical drawing. This
freedom of choice has proved disastrous to the girls, who
took mechanical to escape freehand, because they -"never
could draw." Many of these girls in their senior year de-
cide to enter the Normal school. They cannot pass the ex-
amination the State gives, and though they can obtain en-
trance credits in other subjects, their future work when
they must draw is unnecessarily handicapped by lack of
elementary training, due to their unwise choice.
For these reasons the girls of the entering class are now
required to take freehand drawing, and many add mechan-
ical if they have time to do so. The time allotted, one
period per week for each class, is all too short to accom-
plish the desired results. Thne is a most important factor
in High school'drawing, and few find time for additional
periods on drawing days. Those who can do this advance
satisfactorily.
At present all work beyond the first year is largely in-
dividual as other demands of the school permit little class
teaching. There are advantages as well as disadvantage-,
in this arrangement. The progress of the individual pupil,
to be sure, is Measured by his capacity and determination to
advance, but there is little opportunity for class teaching of
principles, or the development of taste and art appreciation
along lines that call for simple talks and note taking.
Work in applied design is commenced in the second
year. Patterns are made for a definite purpose and the
designs are applied in the class room. Pupils are now de-
signing patterns for leather work and for embroidery, sten-
ciling curtains, runners and centerpieces. . Camp Fire girls
195
are making symbolic designs and putting them on their
dresses and head-bands. Other students prefer to spend
all their time in drawing with pencil and charcoal from
models and casts. • Most of the junior and senior boys keep
up tlieir mechanical drawing, although it is not a required
subject. One of the juniors is doing practical work at
home for his father. A second year boy is to make as his
school work, in part, at least, the plans for a house that is
to be built this spring.
The Otis prizes were awarded as usual, for effort and
excellence in drawing, to members of each class. The
senior prizes were given to Claribel Soule, Amy C. Childs
and Russell Starek.
Good work has been done at the Elizabeth Lowell school.
Prizes in this school were, won by Marion Coleman and
Ormond Dottridge. The time limitations necessary here,
make the work less satisfactory then it should be, but in
spite of high pressure, good work is done at Cotuit by
pupils who care to work.
The spirit of hearty cooperation manifested by all the
teachers strengthen the work of this department, and is
keenly appreciated by the supervisor.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC
To G. H. Galger, Supt. of Schools:
My dear Sir:—
It is a great pleasure to find myself again supervising the
music in the town of Barnstable. This subject has always
interested me, and, during the years when not actively en-
gaged in teaching, I.have tried to keep in touch with this
branch of public'school work.
The bringing together of certain.sections of the town.
and the provision of well equipped modern buildings should
inspire better work in music each year.
As far as seemed advisable, study has been continued
through the fall and winter in much the same manner as
taught by your former supervisor.
Children who entered the schools this year are in the
most cases now able to sing the major scale with "ah" or
with syllables, and to learn by rote any simple melody with.
a fair degree of accuracy. Some of these little ones who
seemed almost hopeless monotones are surprising their teach-
ers each day .by showing some appreciation of pitch, and
are beginning ,to imitate correctly. There are in these
days so many beautiful songs for children, and there is so
wide a field for choice that it is comparatively easy to select
songs for them, especially motion songs, which the children
so much enjoy.
There being in most cases at least three grades in a
room, it becomes necessary to prepare second grade pupils
to read from the staff in order that they may be pripared by
the end of the third year to work with the fifth and sixth
grades when they enter the fourth grade in the Intermediate
schools. This is not the ideal way, but seems the best ar-
rangement that can be made.
The Grammar school period seems to be the most difficult
191
of all. Pupils become diffident and are apparently afraid
to let their voices be heard. This trouble seems to exist
chiefly among the boys. It will be my aim to prepare
pupils so thoroughly to read and interpret correctly in the
lower grades that by the time they reach the Grammar
school they will so love to sing that it will be impossible for
them to remain silent. I realize that this means hard work
for the supervisor and more for the regular teacher.
Some of the schools have secured for themselves Victro=
las. I should be*very pleased to see each building provided
with one of these. One cannot speak too highly of the
splendid influence produced by enabling children to hear the
very best in music.
The spirit in the Barnstable High school is good, and
'the large number enrolled makes the work delightful.
The Elizabeth Lowell High school is small, a condition
which makes it difficult to arouse enthusiasm, but we are
hoping that the fine new song books recently purchased by
the town may prove inspiring. It would seem as if these
books had already created a new interest.
If it is possible for me' to continue this work for any
length of time, my greatest desire is to implant a love for
music in the h6art of every pupil in the town of Barnstable,
and to teach him to sing.
Thanking the teachers who. are working so faithfully to
bring about this end, this report is
Respectfully submitted,
MABELLE M. H. BOODY.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
Mr. G. H. .Galger, Superintendent of Schools:
Dear Sir:—,
The sanitary condition of most of the schools in Barn-
stable town is very good. The Cotuit Grammar school is a
marked exception; sanitary closets, and a new heating plant
are much.needed. The teachers of the schools have shown
zeal in following out the State Health laws. This has aid-
ed the School Physician in his work. Lack of a definite re-
quired physical examination keeps the School Physican's
work .from being as helpful to the school children as it
might be. With information from School Superintendents
and School Physicians as a basis, the State Board of Health
is now formulating a bill to be submitted to the,Legislature,
requiring a definite physical examination of all school chil-
dren. In cases of epidemic diseases in the schools, special
care has been taken to follow the laws of the State Board
of Health, and apply measures approved by the latest ad-
vances in preventive medicine. A way has been found to
provide proper examination and treatment of the school
children's eyes; when they are found to be defective by the
school tests.
As far as possible, measures guarding the health of the
school children have been employed by the School Physi-
cian.
Respectfully submitted,
HEMAN B. CHASE.

As a coat to take the wear on the macadam roads Ave
used 60 per cent. asphaltum. This proved to be very sat-
isfactory as it added strength to the road as well as form-
ing a surface for travel. Of this material we used 50,000
gallons and for dust laying we used 20,000 gallons of 40 per
cent. asphaltum.
Several cars of crushed stone were used to reinforce as _
well as fill holes and these were bound with a heavy grade of
asphaltum or tarvia. Men and teams were at work nearly
the entire season doing this kind of work and the Cotuit
and West Barnstable road is an example of its worth. The
winter is not doing the damage it has usually done because
the roads are much stronger. We have about $1500 worth of
stock to start this work again early in the spring.
Some of the expense was charged to Osterville and Mars-
tons Mills sections.
Craigviile :Ind Osterville-Centerville bridges were entirely
overhauled and are considered to be in very good condition.
The culvert near Mr. David Crbeker's trout pond in Center-
ville has been rebuilt.
129 '
f Some very fine pieces of new road have been constructed
{ during the past year. For the most part they have been of
the bitulithic pavement type.
The West Barnstable and Centerville stage road received
an appropriation of $1000 but the whole 1600 feet has been
built and $706.22 was taken from the regular appropriation.
The amount expended in excess of the appropriation for
snow was taken from the Reserve Fund.

REPORT OF ROAD COMMITTEE.
The Committee appointed at the last annual town meet-
ing to consider the articles calling for special appropria-
tions for roads not favorably acted upon at that time, and
1 to investigate the condition of our road system and make
recommendations therefor, respectfully submits the follow-
ing report:
In considering this hatter your Committee feels that in
order'to make any intelligent recommendations, some defin-
ite policy covering a period of several years must be con-
sidered. The matter has been divided into two parts, first,
the probable mileage of new road to be built within a cer-
tain period, second, taking care of the existing roads.
With reference to the articles not favorably acted upon
at the last town meeting, the Committee would suggest that
no special action be taken in relation thereto, except in so
far as the Committee recommends in this report.
In considering the question of new roads, the,Committee
has divided the matter in such a way as to cover a period
of four years, taking up the first year those sections that
seem most necessary and important. It is probable that
covering the whole period mentioned (four years) these new
roads will call for an appropriation amounting to $70,000.
The Committee recommends-that this year the following
sections in the localities designated be built, and that a sum
not exceeding $25,000 be expended for the same:
Road in Osterville, beginning at Twombley's corner, run-
ning southerly over the East Bay Road, approximately three
thousand (3000) feet. N
Road from Centerville to Craigville beginning at the stone
road opposite the store of Nathan H. Bearse, running south-
. ! _ r
131
e
erly over the Centerville and Craigville Beach Road, ap-
proximately twenty-five hundred (2500) feet.
In,Cotuit, on Oceanview Avenue and Main Street, begin-
ning at the terminus of the road built last year, to and con-
necting with the loop previously built by Horace S. Sears,
approximately one-half mile.
Roads in Hyannis,, beginning at the junction of Sea and
Front Streets, running easterly on Front Street to Ocean
Street, approximately one-half mile; Pleasant Street, begin-
ning at junction of Main Street, running southerly to a point
connecting with the Town Landing at Lewis Bay, approxi-
mately three-eighths of a mile.
The second year, the Committee recommends the follow-
ing:
Complete the East Bay Road to Wianno Avenue in Oster-
Ville..
Complete the Craigville Beach Road at Centerville.
Complete Ocean Street in Hyannis.
Build a section of road from Sea Street, easterly on South
Street in Hyannis to Pleasant Street.
All of this work would call for an appropriation amount-
ing to approximately $15,600.
The third year-the Committee recommends the following:
Build a section of road in Cotuit from Brackett Hill on
Main Street through Maple Avenue, approximately five-
eighths of a mile.
Build a section of road in Osterville from Wianno Avenue
westerly over West Bay Road, so called, approximately one-
half mile.
Build a section of road in Marstons Mills, from West
Barnstable stone road westerly over Race Lane, so called,
approximately one-half mile. .
This would probably call for an appropriation amounting
to $20,000. 1 1 -
The fourth year, the Committee recommends the follow-
ing
Build a section of road in Barnstable, Millway so called,
132
beginning at Main Street, running northerly toward Com-
mon Fields Bridge, approximately one-half mile.
Extend the section of road in Marstons Mills, Race Lane,
so called, westerly approximately one-half mile.
This will call for an appropriation of about.$10,000.
The Committee would recommend that roads which are to
be built out of the appropriations made in 1917, designated
"in this report as roads to be built the first year, should be
built of sand and asphalt; the method of building roads dur-
ing other periods covered by this report, the Committee sug-
gests should be left for the present, as some better system
may be in vogue at that time. ,
The Committee would recommend that no roads be built
less than eighteen feet wide and would suggest that through
the center of villages where traffic is active, they should be
wider.
PRESENT ROAD SYSTEM
The care of the present road system is of vital importance
to the voters of the town and the Committee would recom-
mend that at least one mile of the present system be rebuilt
each year. For thcf present year we recommend that the
section of road in West Barnstable beginning on Stage Road
at Lombard Avenue, running southerly by the West Barn-
stable church be rebuilt and also recommend that the sum
of $10,000'be expended on this section.
GENERAL REPAIRS ON ROADS
In consideration of the large amount of money to be ex-
pended on roads the present year, if the plans recommended
by the Committee be acted upon favorably, we would recom-
mend that the building of new roads and the rebuilding of
the existing roads, in so far as is practicable, be let out at
contract.
The Committee further recommends that the town elect
a committee to appear before the State Highway Commis-
1�3
sion, asking that they take over as a State Highway that
portiontof the trunk line beginning at the present state high-
way in Osterville to the present state highway between Cen-
terville and Hyannis or any portion thereof.
The Committee further recommends that for the present
year the sum of $25,000 be expended for general repairs on
roads, and that requests for special appropriations similar
to those called for in Articles 20, 23 and 24 in last year's
town warrant; be cared for out of this appropriation, under
the supervision of. the Surveyor of Highways.

The following recommendation for the second year was
omitted in that hart of the report printed on pa-e 131, and
should be included:
"Build a section of road on Railroad Avenue in Barn-
stable."

1 / Marstons Mills, Jan. 24, 191.7.
To the Board of Health of Barnstable,
Gentlemen:I have the pleasure of reporting to you my
work as Inspector of Milk, from June 1, 1916, to the present
date.
I have issued 139 milk licenses, have made 284 dairy in-
spections, and have analyzed 97 samples of milk, of which
only 10 were found to be below the Mass. standard for fat.
This is an improvement over former years. There has
been one conviction during the year so far, for the sale of
adulterated milk. As our dairymen enter the milk con-
tests that are held in different parts of the state, we find
that the milk from Barnstable compares well with any milk
sold in the state. At_the recent milk contest held in Spring-
field, Barnstable stood fourth in the state, with a score of
92.75 per cent. Your Inspector went unannounced, and col-
lected milk from seven dairymen.
Brockton stood first with a score of 95.86 per cent.
Somerville stood second with a score of 92.87 per cent.
Worcester stood third with a score of 92.76 per cent.
Barnstable stood fourth with a score of 92.75 per cent.
Brockton had 21 contestants; Somerville had 24; Worces-
ter had 31; Barnstable had 7 contestants.
Barnstable may well feel proud of her record, having to
contest against such great odds. To each city,or town whose
\ score was among the five highest, the state offered a silver
cup. Barnstable gets one of the cups and a ribbon. The
seven dairymen who made it possible, for us to enter this
contest, were Harry Ryder, E. C. Jerauld, Crocker Farm,
135
' Andrew Lawrence, John Bursley, Bacon Farm and James
Rothwell.
The three cups offered by the town were won by Harry
Ryder, 1st, E. C. Jerauld, 2d and Crocker Farm, 3d. Harry
Ryder, E. C. Jerauld, Crocker Farm, Andrew Lawrence, and
John Bursley also each receive a ribbon from the state.
The milk taken from the carts was entered in class 5.
Those who entered in class one, were:
Frank Linnell, who scored 96.10 per cent; S. F. Crocker,
who scored 95.50 per cent; R. S. Sherbert, who scored 92.00
per cent.; E. B. Bates, who scored 89.85 per cent.
Respectfully submitted,
1 GEORGE T. MECARTA,
Inspector of Milk.

MOTH DEPARTMENT
The work of controlling the gypsy and brown-tail moths
on the trees of the town has been carried on during the past
year with, I think, good results. The plan of work has been
to keep the trees in villages, around the houses, and along all
highways, as far as possible, from being destroyed by these
pests. Creosoting the egg masses of the gypsy moth and re-
moving and burning of the webs of the brown-tail
moth has to be carried on during the fall and winter
months. This work we have done as far as practicable. .
In many . places along the highway we have cut
out strips of woodland, burned the brush, corded
and creosoted the wood, leaving it for the owner of the land.
By following this method, the work of spraying is rendered
more effective, and can be accomplished with greater con-
venience and celerity.
Spraying began May 26th, and continued to July 10t.h.
The trees and bordering woodland on all the main highways
throughout the town, and also in the villages, were covered
with spray,which on the elm trees served a double purpose,
doing effective work in destroying the elm tree beetles, as
well as the caterpillars of the gypsy moth. With the small
sprayer we covered the trees along the loam roads for a
total of about twenty miles. In our spraying operations,
we have been handicapped by the distance from water, in
many places throughout the town, the extra labor of getting
water for the sprayers making the work much slower; but in
this respect we have been much indebted to citizens, who
have gladly given us water from their private supply.
Spraying for citizens of the town on their private property
was carried on to a considerable extent. This work is
137
charged to,property owners at the actual cost to the town.
All money received therefor is included under this heading
in the town treasurer's report.
Experiments have been and are being carried on by.the
United States Department-of Agriculture with a view to
finding parasites which will prey on the gypsy moth in its
various forms. One hundred and eighty nine colonies of a
parasite, (Anastatus bifasciatus) which the United States
has cultivated in its laboratory have been distributed in
various parts of this town. .
The town owns and had in use last summer, two power
sprayers, viz, a large machine capable of carrying.three lines
of one-inch hose, and a smaller one carrying one line of three-
fourth inch hose. The pumps are made of phosphor bronze,.
the better to resist corrosion. The pumps of the larger
machine are driven by a ten H. P. gasoline motor; and of
the smaller, by a four H. P. motor. This equipment includ-
ing hose, connections for the same, nozzles, etc., is stored in,
a building located in the village of Osterville, which also
contains all other tools as well as chemicals used in the moth
work. The building is rented by the town.
Respectfully submitted,
ROBERT F. CROSS.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
To the'School Committee of Barnstable:
In_accordance with the rules of the School Committee,
I herewith submit my twelfth annual report on the.public
schools for the year ending December 31, 1916, the same
being the twenty-sixth in the series of superintendents'
reports.
SCHOOL BUILDINGS
REPAIRS AND IMPROVEMENTS ACCOMPLISHED
Under the head of "Repairs" are included expenditures
for all repairs and additions of whatever nature, janitors'
supplies, additional furniture, cleaning of buildings, etc.
The larger bills incurred in expenditures for repairs are
mentioned below. '
Barnstable Village:
A bill of $496.99, for establishing a pumping plant, one of
$206, forplumbing, of $66.35,for painting the basement, and
a,bill of $55.83, for janitors' supplies covering several years,
included the larger bills. The total expenditures were
$917.09.
West Barnstable:
The largest bill, $118, was for painting the exterior of the
building. The total expenditures were $178.94.
Santuit:
Small items, totaling $47.28, include 'all.expenditures for
repairs on this building.
178
Cotuit:
The larger bills consisted of one for $52.43, for labor and
miscellaneous supplies, and one of $32.60, for repairs on
furnaces and the pumping engine. Total expenditures were
$221.13.
Marstons Mills: `
The largest bill was one for curtains, $37.50. Total ex-
penditures, $156.89.
Osterville:
The largest bills were one of $424.50, for seating three
rooms, one of $93.35, for curtains, one of $44.15, for mason
work, one of $26.50, for fire extinguishers, one of $73.80,
for furnishing in part the fourth room, and one of $31..661
for miscellaneous supplies. The total expended was $854.49.
Training School:
The larger bills were one of $159.35, for painting the
,window sashes and exterior trimmings of the building, two
ebills totaling $103.76, for repairs on roof, etc., and a plumb-
ing bill of $32.35. The total expenditures were$399.56.
Barnstable High School:
The larger bills were one of $200.39, for painting the
window sashes, the exterior trimmings of the building, etc.,
one of $29.30, for plumbing, and one of $24.90, for roofing
supplies. The total expenditures were $425.89.
Centerville:
The larger bills were several totaling $123.56, for work
on well'and pumping engine, one of $75.96, for shingling and
one of $28.47, for mason work. The total expenditures
were $298.01.
REPAIRS AND IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED
The sum needed for repairs and improvements this year
will be muck smaller than that of last year. probably not
179
more than $1400; unless action is taken toward renovating
the interior of the- Training School, as suggested in last
year's report.
It is possible that the State may pass fire protection laws
calling for work not now planned for; but probably in that
case reasonable time allowance would be made.
PROPOSED NEW BUILDING AT COTUIT
At the last town meeting a committee was appointed to
consider and report on a proposed new grammar school
building for Cotuit. Its report will be placed before the
next meeting and.will probably be acted upon favorably.
Should that be the case, and the building be erected, every
school building in the town of Barnstable can be justly
ranked from good to excellent, at least in regard to conve-
nience, heating, sanitation and ventilation, a record equalled
by few towns in the Commonwealth.
TRAINING SCHOOL CONDITIONS
Upwards of 280 pupils were enrolled in the Training
School during the fall term, and over 270 had to be accom-
modated at the same time. It was possible to do this by us-
ing one room at the Normal School for about 30 pupils,
leaving about 240 for the six rooms of the Training School.
Forty-two is the limit of seating capacity of each room with
proper regard to healthful conditions, .and it is apparent
that if the membership of this school continues to increase,
additional accommodations will have to be provided, as the
arrangement mentioned with the Normal school cannot be
made permanent.
CHANGES IN THE TEACHING FORCE, 1916.
Upwards of twenty changes were made in the teaching
force during the year.

180
Miss Caroline Nickerson, Miss Beulah Easter and Mrs..
Isadore Eldredge served in the Barnstable Primary school,
and Miss Kendrick and Miss Nickerson in the Intermediate.
Mr. Chapman declined to return to the` West Barnstable
principalship, and Mr.,Reed of Centerville was transferred
to that position.
At Cotuit Miss Nickerson substituted in the Intermediate
grades during the illness of Miss Drake.
'Miss Nutter, Miss Kendrick and Miss Nickerson served at
various times in the Osterville Intermediate. Miss Marjorie
Higgins served as,part time assistant in the primary grades
until the opening of the fourth room, consisting of the
third and fourth grades, in,charge of; Miss Elizabeth F.
Alden.
Mr. Alfred E. Standish took Mr. Reed's place.at Center
ville and Miss Elsie W. Whitford Miss Spofford's.
In the Training School Beatrice Larry succeeded Miss
Seale as teacher of the fourth grade. Miss Clara D. Frost
and Mrs. Isadore Eldredge filled the vacancy in the third
grade caused by the leave of absence granted Miss Dean.
In the-Barnstable High school Mr. W. H. Gildersleeve sue-
ceeded Mr. Atwood as sub-master, the latter going to a very
desirable position in New York city. Miss.Faunce resigned
in February, Miss Brooks in April and Miss Dow in August',
the latter serving two weeks in September on account of
the short notice given. Miss Faunce was succeeded by Miss
Lillian Decatur; Miss Brooks by Lillian H. Hieston and later
by Grace M. Wyman; Miss Dow by Sarah N. Ward and
later by Clara R. Hinckley. .
Mrs. Maynard was granted leave of absence on account of
ill health and Miss Margerie Leonard was appointed in her
place.
It is perhaps unnecessary to refer in)detail to the quali-
fications of the teachers leaving us, as nearly all were offered
far more attractive and remunerative positions. The loss of
181
teachers from the'high school was especially regretted as
they were doing remarkably united and efficient work.
The incalculable injury done the school by over-frequent
change of teachers has been referred to in previous reports,
possibly to the point of tiresome iteration. This, however, J
is a continual and fundamental evil whose results fall
directly on our boys and girls. It can be lessened only by
a persistent effort to"render teaching positions in our rural.
schools more attractive by increased moral and financial
support.
MEMBERSHIP AND ATTENDANCE
The total membership for 1916, showed an increase of
sixty-nine over. that of 1915, and the average membership
an increase of thirty-two. The fall enrolment for 191.6 was
981, an increase of fifty-eight over that of 1915, and of two
hundred over that of ten years ago.
There has been but little truancy, and, except in two
schools, but little tardiness.. The laws in regard to the la=
bor of minors are becoming better understood and more
closely observed.

RANK OF BARNSTABLE IN SCHOOL APPROPRIA-
TIONS -
TAX BURDEN
In the amount appropriated for the support-of the public
schools to each thousand dollars, of valuation, Barnstable
ranks two hundred eighty-ninth, sixty-four towns taxing
themselves more lightly and two hundred eighty-eight more
heavily than Barnstable. The, average for the state was
`$4.64; that for Barnstable$4.13; for Barnstable county$4.47.
TEXT-BOOKS AND SUPPLIES
The expenditure for books and supplies based on the
average membership was $1.75 per pupil, considerably less
than the average both for the state and county.
TRANSPORTATION
Though direct figures are not now available, it is probable
.'that Barnstable still leads the state in the total expended-for
transportation, though not in the cost per head.
SCHOOL' DEPARTMENT FINANCES
Since the school department now expends approximately
forty thousand dollars yearly it would seem that a some-
what detailed annual financial report is justified; however
uninteresting in itself it may be. That the schools have not
wholly escaped the "high cost of-living" pressure may be
seen by the reports following.
SCHOOL PURPOSES
The expenditures under this head exceeded the estimates,
largely. because of the expenditures for fuel, which were -
about five hundred dollars greater than estimated. The in-
come from miscellaneous sources, however, was enough
/greater than usual to take care of this, and the total expen-
ditures under this head were within the funds available.
184
TEXT-BOOKS AND SUPPLIES
A larger demand than anticipated for high school text-
books and the largely increased prices for supplies caused
some inconvenience toward the end of the year. Fortunate-
ly most of the buildings had been well stocked with paper
at the old prices, otherwise the deficiency would have been
considerable: An excess expenditure of fifty dollars was
paid by transfer of that amount from the School Purposes
appropriation.
TRANSPORTATION
The appropriation voted was $6,020, based on the estimat-
ed cost at the prevailing rates of compensation. An increase
of twenty-five dollars per month for the lViarstons Mills-
Cotuit service and of six dollars per month for the Barn-
stable-Cummaquid service taking effect in September,result-
ed in a total expenditure of$6,107.50.
REPAIRS
The expenditures .for Repairs were larger than usual, but
a large part of the expenditure was for constructive repairs
beyond the ordinary, and for school. furniture. The ex-
penditures were kept within the appropriation.
TOTALS
The total expenditures of the school department were
$41,493.64 and the total available appropriations were .
$41,537.35 leaving an unexpended balance of $43.71. De-
tailed reports of expenditures may be found- under their
appropriate headings.
THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK
Attention was called in last year's report-to the constant-
ly increasing expenditures of the School Department and
to the slight possibility of effecting any decrease in the
immediate future. Conditions developing the past ,year•
point instead to the probable necessity of a further- in-
crease. The chief factors pointing in this direction are
i
185
1. The great increase in the cost of living, resulting
in a tendency to respond to this by a general increase
in wages and salaries: In this connection the abund-
ance of-profitable employment in various industries
still further reduces the number of desirable candidates
for,teaching positions.
2. A marked and in many cases unjustifiable increase
in the cost of school supplies and textbooks.
3. A slight but steady increase in the membership of
the schools, such as to necessitate some increase in the
teaching force.
It is apparent that under these conditions parents should
co-operate with the teachers and school authorities in en-
couraging thrift and care in the use of school property, and
in promoting good attendance-, to the end that as far as pos-
sible a reasonable return be secured for the money neces-
sarily expended. It may become necessary too, to see,that.
the effectiveness of the schools shall not be crippled by a too
extreme economy.
COMPARATIVE TABLE OF RELATIVE EXPENDITURES
The following table shows the percentages of the total ,
school expenditures expended for the items mentioned for
the years 1906, 1916 and 1915:
1906 1916 1915 ,
Salaries:
Teachers, including supervisors - 57.70 53.22 53.90

Comparing the middle table, 1916, with the table of ten
years ago on the left and the table of 1915 on the.right, it
will be seen that the relative expenditures for the past year
show a decrease, as compared both with 1906 and with last
year, for salaries, (except those of janitors),, for text-books
and supplies, and for miscellaneous items, an increase for
fuel,.repairs and janitors' salaries, and for transportation,an
increase over 1906 and a decrease from 191.5.

pil for each item mentioned, based on'the number of differ-
ent; pupils enrolled in the years given:
1906 1916 1915
Teaching - - - - - $18 50 $21 23 $21 60
Music and Drawing - - - 1 50 1 45 1 54
Superintendent and Secretary - - 2 00 1 88 1 95
Janitor service - - - - 1 63 2 75 2 65
Textbooks and supplies - - 2 00 1 51 1 75
Fuel - - - - - 1 88 3 67 3 09
Repairs - - - - 1 77 3 65 3 20
Transportation - - - - 4 16 6 39 6.97
Census and miscellaneous - 1 01 38 4.0
It should be noted that the cost per pupil for 1906 repre-
stints a school year of 34 weeks, that of 1915 and of 191.6 a
school year of 36 weeks. Making allowance for this, it will
be seen that the cost of direct teaching service per pupil has
increased, in ten years approximately 10 per cent., that the
total instruction cost per pupil, including teaching, super-
vision, superintendence and books and supplies has in-
creased about 3 per cent., that the building-upkeep cost per
pupil, including janitor service, fuel and ordinary ,repairs
has increased about 63 per cent., janitor service showing the
largest relative increase, and that the total cost per pupil of
school support, including all items, shows an increase of
about 20 per cent. Briefly stated the percentage of increased
cost per pupil in ten years of administering the Barnstable
schools as compared with the average increased cost in the
352 other towns and cities in the state is as follows
189
PERCENTAGE OF INCREASED COST PER PUPIL
BARNSTABLE STATE
Teaching, 10 per cent. Teaching, 33 percent.
Building upkeep, 63 per cent. Building upkeep, 120 per cent.
Total support, 20 per cent. Total support, 30 per cent.
The absolute cost per pupil for the support of schools, in
eluding ordinary repairs, but not including new buildings,
was, for the state in 19169 $42.55, for Barnstable $42.60, the
highest cost being in the town of Dover, $104.89. The cost
in Boston was $52.43. The cost differs widely in.Barnstable
-county, from $23.23 in Provincetown to $64.02 in Fal-
mouth,the average being $46.50.
In the tax burden imposed by school expenditures Barn-
stable ranks two.hundred eighty-ninth at $4.13 per thous-
and dollars of valuation, Mofison ranking first at $1Q.08 and
West Boylston second at $9.95. Of the twenty towns in the
state whose valuation, from seven to nine millions each, ap-
proximates .that of Barnstable, the average tax burden is
$5.26 per thousand dollars of valuation.
Only by comparison is it possible to judge whether the
expenditure for schools in a given community is reasonarble,
and even then so widely do local needs and conditions differ
that caution must be used in drawing conclusions.
It would appear from the above that the cost of the Barn-
stable schools per pupil is-at least equal to the state average,
transportation expense forming a large factor in this result;
that the increase in the cost per pupil for teaching, building
upkeep and total support has been considerably less than the
average increase throughout the state, and that there has
-been a decrease in the cost per pupil in supervision, super-
intendence, books and supplies.

ESTIMATED EXPENDITURES FOR 1917
SCHOOL PURPOSES .
Under the head of School Purposes are classed all salaries.,
including those of supervisors, superintendent and janitors,
expenditures for fuel and. expenditures for miscellaneous
items, such as freight, express, telephon.e, water, graduation
expenses, etc.
Fuel expenses, estimated at $3,000 last year, were exceed-
ed by over $500. Since. the power.of the Pennsylvania .coal
barons to exploit the public is not likely to be diminished,it
seems unsafe to,re,ekon on an expenditure of less.than',$3,500
for fuel the ensuing .year, the expenditure. for 197.6 ,being
$3,521.08. Expenditures .for salaries are estimated as-fol-
lows: 'Barnstable; ,principal, $810, two teachers at $540
each. West Barnstable. principal,, $$10, two teachers,at—
$540 each. , Santuit; principal, $540, assistant $200. Cotuit;
principal,,$1000, assistant $620; principal, $810, one teacher
'at $540, one at $512. Marstons Mills; grammar.teacher,
$600, primary $540.. Osterville; principal $810, one teacher
at $564, one at $512, one at $495. Training, School,; princi-
pal $810, five teachers at.$540, one at $467. High School,
principal, $1600, sub-master at $1000, two teachers at $750,
commercial instructor at,$770. Centerville, principal $810,
primary teacher, $467. Combined,salaries of,supervisor of
music, 'supervisor of drawing, and superintendent and sec-
retary same as last year, $3,150. Combined salarieslof.jan-
itors, $2,712, Census and, miscellaneous $300...The-total of
the above is approximately .$31,375;.:from ,tbis.should, be
subtracted an estimated income from.miscellaneous sources
of $1375, leaving $30,000.as the approximate amount needed
for School .Purposes for 1917. , The,amount voted• last year
was $29,000, the addition this year being mainly for the in-
creased estimate for fuel and for the additional, teacher
at Osterville.

TEXT-BOOKS AND SUPPLIES
Our expenditures for books and supplies have been for
some years less per pupil than the 'average throughout the
state and considerably less.than.the average throughout the
county. This has.been accomplished in part by failing to
supply many small conveniences which are not absolute .
necessities, and keeping the.expenditures-for supplementary
texts at a minimum; the latter action may not have been
always profitable economy.
This ,year we will be faced by an'inerease of over 1.50 pei•
cent. in the price of school papers and an- increase of from
12 1-2 to 100 per cent. on other school supplies. With one
notable exception, that of Ginn'& Co., publishing houses
generally are announcing increased prices for text-books
in.their new catalogs. An appropriation 'of not less than
$1750 will be needed for Text-books and Supplies. This
will allow an expenditure.of about $1.90 per pupil; the aver-
age expenditure in the state is $2.31, in the county$2.74.
If the present high prices are sustained throughout the w
year, the sum above •mentioned may prove wholT,y in-
adequate.
TRANSPORTATION
.At the present,rates of compensation the sum'needed for
transportation will be $6,315, distributed as follows: Barn
-
stable-Cummaquid service, $31.5; West Barnstable-
Barn-,stable-Hyannis service, $2,100 Osterville-Centerville-Ryan- ,
nis service $1,600,; Cotuit-Marstons Mills service, $1,750;
Hyannisport-Hyannis service $550.
REPAIRS
A sum approximately half that voted in 1916 will prob-
ably take care of repairs for the ensuing year. At the
present writing bills to the amount of approximately $450
have been paid, including various- minor repairs, a .steel
ceiling in the Barnstable High School, and janitors' supplies,
the latter having shared the general increase in prices. An
f 192
appropriation of $1,850 may prove sufficient. The need of
a thorough renovation of the walls, ceilings and woodwork
of the Training School was mentioned last year. Since this
has not been done since the building was built over twenty
years ago, the need has become imperative, both from the
standpoint of sanitation and-economy.
SUMMARY OF ESTIMATES FOR 1917
1916 1917
Text-hooks and Supplies, $19400 $1.750
Repairs, 3,500 1,850
Transportation, 6,020 6,315
' School Purposes, 29,000 30,000
Totals, $39;910 $399915
The above estimates are offered on the as that
there will be no essential change in the rates of compensa-
tion for teaching, janitor service or transportation, and are
subject to revision by the School Board.
The need of increased' financial remuneration for the
teachers of rural elementary schools, our•own included, has
been repeatedly pointed out in previous reports, and in. the
report of 1914 it was stated that our teachers were at an
actual financial disadvantage as compared with those in'
s.inaller and poorer towns of the Cape. We are paying,our
elementary teachers, making due allowance for the differ
ence in-price of board, from $36 to $144 less per year than
the majority of towns on the Cape. The situation has now
become acute' and we can no longer maintain- our present
standard of instruction unless immediate steps are taken
toward a more equitable financial allowance for such teach-
ers. As one step toward this, 1 recommend that the sum
named below be added to the above estimate for School
Purposes, in order that the annual salary of women teach-
. _ ` �-
193
ers in our elementary schools, in their fourth or later year
of service, may be not less than $594 per year,,taking effect
next September. This would affect not more than seven
teachers this year and call for a total addition of $147 to
the proposed appropriation, involving an addition of about
one and one-half cents per thousand to the tax rate. Not
more than one additional teacher would come under the
schedule in 1918, and the increase, -operative thoroughout
the school 'year, would amount to a total of not more than
/ $285.
PROGRESS OF THE SCHOOLS
Except for the customary loss in efficiency, due to change
of teachers, the work.of the schools has been carried on
much as usual the past year, with less loss of time from con-
tagious diseases than in the year preceding.
The.new State courses of study, with suitable modifica-
tions, are being gradually introduced into our elementary
schools. By their general use it is hoped that the essentials
of. the "Three R's" will be more efficiently and uniformly
taught in the rural schools.
Work at the Elizabeth'Lowell High School has proceeded
quietly and effectively, ,the commercial work remaining
popular and 'improving in quality. •A considerable differ-
ence of attainment between home and out-of-town pupils
of the entering classes is apparent, and as this handicaps
even progress, some doubt is created as to the wisdom of ,
continuing to admit out-of-town' pupils.
The Barnstable High School suffered severely by change
of teachers in term-time. Of the four teachers lost during
the year none could-have been retained by increase of sal-
ary, as the positions offered them in each case were attrac-
tive otherwise as well. The school has been approved for
the privilege of certification to the State Normal Schools,
allowing pupils to enter without examination. The ap-
proval ranks the school in Class B, The requirements for
194
approval.in class A are that "so far as the finances of the
school permit and the demands justify, courses `shall be
offered in household arts, Aianual training,.commercial sub-
jects, music, drawing, and the-usual college preparatory
subjects,'.' also that ".the school. shall offer,to first and
second •year pupils, subjects that will be`'of definite value
to,them even if they do not remain more than two years ,in
high school." We do not offer household,arts or manual
training. As to whether we.' offe I r to first and second year
pupils subjects that will be of definite value to them,even
if they do not remain more than two years in high school,"
that would seem tW be a matter of opinion.
If, in attempting a financial.survey of the school situa-
tion,�caution is needed.in drawing conclusions"even though
much of the data is concrete and "exact, much more is cau-
tion. needed in attempting a judgment on the relative value
of the school work Iof •a given place or time. The criteria
by which such work should'be jndoed are a matter of con-
tention and 'no one 'has the ability, time and money req-
uisite to make a thoroughly comprehensive survey, even
if measuring valises were agreed upon. It is only certain
that dogmatic judgments, even by those in close contact
with the work, are likely to be inaccurate.
The records in higher institutions Hof•a large`majority'of '
our'graduates are more than' "good, and from this it would
seem not altogether unreasonable to infer that 'the. Barn-
stable schools as a whole are not notably behind ;others 'of
their class, at least so far as work in the conventional•sub-
jectsi is concerned. When, however, we ask whether we
have done all Iwe might to respond to the demands that to-
morrow is to make on our boys and girls our answer takes
a much •more doubtful tone. Some of our city schools, re-
acting from the old scholastic program, by trade schools
and "vocational directors" tend to fix the future of boys
and girls at fourteen or fifteen years of age, a practice
wholly at variance with democratic ideals and involving
�
195
a real danger in accentuating class'divisions, and limiting
the opportunity for the all-round development of each
individual, the democratic educational ideal.
On the other hand over-conservatism and supposed finan-
cial.limitations have kept most rural schools from reason-
able progress toward a more humanly valuable program, a
program which shall really train head, heart and hand to-
gether, which shall emphasize less the dead languages and
abstract mathematics, and emphasize more the practical
sciences applied mathematics history, economies; civics and
the wealth of character-building possibilities in thi teaehing
of the rich literature of our own'language: So,long as`this
is not done tide 'remain dully deaf and blind to the complex
and'turbulent' life-current'surrounding our young people,
demanding of them' a far more varied.and vigorous training
than the best of us'received a generation ago." Arid to give
such a training, with such' a program, we need'teacher's,
highly trained, broad'mind.ed, humanly sympathetic,'and de-
voted to teaching as a life profession of high dignity and
worth. Any community which fails 'to seek these things
fails to seek `the one Ahing most worth while,=to fit our )
Boys and girls to do the world's work a little better than
does the generation of today.

REPORT -OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE -
BARNSTABLE HIGH SCHOOL
G. H. Galger, Supt. of Schools.
Dear Sir
The past year has been to a marked degree one of con-
tinual readjustment due in part to the many changes in
the teaching force and in part to our changing curriculum..
Last year we had an entirely new force of teachers, but
these teachers worked together harmoniously and consci-
entiously and maintained a high standard of scholarship.
For instance, we had a one-year course in French for
seniors under the direction of Miss Brooks and Mrs. Hieston,
both well equipped teachers. Two graduates of this course
took examinations for higher institutions; one passed the
Mass. Iust. of Technology examinations in French, which
presupposes two years of preparation, and the other the ex-
amination in both Elementary and Intermediate French of
the College Entrance Examination Board, whichordinarily
requires three years of study.
Beginning in November a daily drill in calisthenics has
been given by Mr.Gildersleeve,.a former pupil of Dr. Nissen.
In Science attention has been paid to the practical appli-
cations of-Chemistry and Physics rather than to the theo-
retical and much time has been devoted to the analysis of
water, baking powders, cheap candies, and foods of all
kinds.
Practice in Stenography and Typewriting is now given
five times a week, an increase of one period a week in
each. This makes an added tax on the powers of an al-
ready overworked teacher.
On Feb. 24 a dramatization of Ivanhoe was given before
the school by the'pupils of the second-year class under the
direction of Miss Brooks.
191
On May 29 Mrs. Lillian H. !Reston gave a talk to the
school and guests on' her experience in France at the out-
break of the present war.
The policy of the school is as it has been for years to
determine as far as in our power lies the line of life work
for which the pupil is peculiarly adapted and to help him
on his way to the best of our ability. In the furtherance
of this work we have been aided financially by the Cape
Cod Association of Boston, of which Mr. C. F. Crowell is
the Secretary.
This Association has made it possible for several of our
graduates to enter college who without this aid would have
been compelled to forego a college education. That the.pu-
pils appreciate the good offices of the Association is'shown
by the high rank which each and every one of them'bas
taken at the institution which he is attending.
Respectfully -submitted,
LOUIS M. BOODY.

REPORT OF PRINCIPAL OF ELIZABETH
LOWELL"HIGH SCHOOL
Mr. G. H. Galger, Superintendent of Schools
:—
I herewith present my annual report:
Our registration is larger than usual this year because of
the entering class, which is the largest for several years.
The majority of these pupils are doing excellent work as
they are well-prepared, ambitious and good workers. But
most of those from out of town came without sufficient prep=
aration and lack energy and ambition. This of necessity
lowers the efficiency of the school; for, since we have not
time to make a separate, division for these pupils, a dispro-
portionate part of each recitation must be devoted to them.
The more ambitious pupils who live in town are consequent-
ly deprived of their rightful share of the teacher's time and
their progress is_hindered. Inasmuch as our first duty is
to our own pupils, I feel very strongly that some change
from present conditions is desirable.
As all four classes are represented we have a rather
crowded program, even though in some instances grades are
combined. Hence the are compelled to.follow the course
of study closely, though each pupil has considerable lati-
tude of choice in his elections even now. Most of the pu-
pils are carrying five, subjects and their individual stand-
ing averages high. The commercial courses continue popu-
lar which shows appreciation of the opportunity for prac-
tical instruction.
We are fortunate to retain Miss Smith's services for an-
other year as well as those of Mrs. Boody. Frequent change
of teachers is a misfortune from which most of the small
high schools suffer. We all regret that Mrs. Maynard
could not continue her work this year for her long associa-
tion with the pupils enabled her to be of great service to
B-14
202 t
them. Miss Leonard has been very successful in taking up
the work where Mrs. Maynard laid it down and has carried
it for-%and with great ability. Every pupil is taking draw-
ing and all appear deeply interested.
No delay has been caused by contagious diseases, and pu-
pils ha-•e been quite free from other sickness. The attend-
ance of the Barnstable pupils has been nearly or quite 100
per cent. which is an indication of good health and interest
in their work.
I am grateful for the.pleasant relations which continue
with all those with whom I come in contact. Pupils, parents
and citizens are uniformly kind and courteous, a treatment
which is deeply appreciated by a public servant.
Respectfully submitted,
BURTON W. SANDERSON.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING
Mr. G. H. Galger, Superintendent of Schools:
Dear Sir:
I have found it very pleasant this year to remain here in
the town of Barnstable, where I already knew many 'of my
pupils, and to become acquainted with all the schools in the
town.
I❑ my work in the Drawing Department, I have been fol-
lowing for the most part the line of work laid out for.the last
few years, believing that when once a good course has been
worked out it is better for a new teacher to follow it so far
as possible, rather than make radical changes before knowing
local conditions intimately.
I have been pleased with the progress made by most of the
High School pupils and have especially` enjoyed working
with the junior and senior classes. This work is mostly in-
dividual. It is'a pleasure to notice how-capable these boys
and girls are and how much they can work by themselves.
The results of many years of earnest work by Mrs. Maynard
show here in a marked degree. It is my hope and aim that
those in the first two years may do at least as well by the
time they reach the upper classes.
One of the greatest needs among the High School pupils
is more time for work! At the Barnstable High School, it
has been possible to allow any pupils who could work quietly
by themselves to work extra periods. Many who( are suffi-
ciently interested and who can find time have availed them-
selves of this opportunity. I think there are more who
should do so.
It has not been possible for the pupils at the Cotuit High
School to do extra work in this way, since I am able to be
there only about three hours per week. However I consider
F
R
205
it worthy of note that, although drawing is an elective.sub-
ject in the junior and senior classes, every regular pupil in
the school is enrolled in one of the drawing classes.
All through the town I have found the pupils interested
and responsive. In Osterville plans are(being made 3tnder
the direction of Mr. Fowler, to very soon hold an exhibition
of pictures suitable for use.in decorating schools. We be-
lieve the pictures,shown will be well. worth seeing and that
the parents will be interested in the project. The money
raised at this time will be used.in buying pictures, which are
so much needed, for the school. I believe Mr. Fowler
should be especially commended for his efforts in beautifying
the Osterville school, and grounds, a special work which
needs to be done at this time.
There are many other teacher's in the town who are doing
earnest, sincere work. I realize that I can do much more
for the pupils when I have the active co-operation of the
teachers and I wish to express my appreciation to them for
the help they have given me.
Respectfully submitted,
MARGERIE LEONARD.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF HARMONY
Mr. G. H. Galger, Superintendent of Schools:
Dear Sir:
It is extremely difficult to sum up a year's work in.Music,
and state definitely how much has been gained.
I believe the first three or four years'training of more im-
portance than all that which comes after. If we can create
a love for the best, and train the voice to sing sweetly and
without affectation, and teach children to read music of ordi-
nary difficulty, we `shall have given them something.which
will be a lasting source of pleasure to themselves and to
others.
Our teachers have worked faithfully to accomplish what I
have planned for them. To be sure, some teachers are not
musically inclined, which is no doubt unfortunate. We have
teachers however in our schools, who though not musical
themselves, realize what pleasures they have'missed from
lack of early training, and they are the ones who put the
very best effort into the work and follow out the plans of the
supervisor most carefully.
The Primary grade teachers were pleased to receive the
fine collection of rote songs placed in the various schools this
year. We hope each year to add some good book of the
kind to their music library: . I plan in the future to have
more rote singing in the lower grades than ever before. The
singing of beautiful songs will prepare the children for a
better understanding of the great masterpieces later in life.
The Grammar schools are always more or less of a prob-
lem. I think we have gained as much as we can expect
where we have so many grades in one room. The four-room
building in Osterville will give an opportunity to discover if
`ve can do more with better grading.
1
` 207
Some schools are planning and still hoping to place a Vic-
trola in their building. One school is expecting to give an
entertainment, the proceeds of which will go toward buying
a talking machine. Something of the kind is really needed.
Although children have music at home and in public, it is
not always the best. In the school-room, we are able to have
absolute quiet where we can give our undivided attention to
the music of the moment, whereas outside of school, people
in general, instead of listening to music, take that time to
carry on an interesting conversation which is very annoying
to the real lover of good music. To train children to listen
well is a great accomplishment.
The Elizabeth Lowell High School has been somewhat
larger since the Fall of 1916, and there seems to be a little
more enthusiasm than formerly.
The Barnstable High School has been greatly hindered in
its progress because of the poor condition of the piano which
has done service for so many years. The piano is so old that
none of the graduates can remember when or how it came to
them. Through thq.efforts of Mr. Boody, with the co-oper-
ation of the Barnstable High School Alumni Association, the
pupils and the many friends of the school, the fund has
reached a total warranting, the ordering of the new instru-
ment. , Probably by the time that this report is in print there
will be one of Vose & Sons' best upright pianos at the Barn-
stable IIigh School.
Respectfully submitted, .
MABELLE M. H. BOODY.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSCIAN
Mr. G. H. Galger, Superintendent of Schools:
/I
Dear Sir
During the past year, the School Physician has followed
the plan of one regular visit each term to each school in
town, making special visits whenever occasion has required.
Beginning with the Fall Term, 1916, a more extensive
physical examination of each pupil was made. Using cards
similar to those employed in the Yarmouth schools, a record
was made of each pupil as examined. A copy of the card
used will be found below:

made with the help of the District Nurse. In the other
schools the teachers assisted. If there were District Nurses
in the other villages of the town the work of the School
Physician would be amplified by them, and consequently
would be more helpful to the children.
When, during physical,examination of the child, a phys-
ical defect was found, requiring dental or medical attention,
notice was sent to the'parents. In the making of the ex-
aminations and in the sending of notices, effort has been
made to comply entirely with the State Health Laws.. The
School Physician will gladly discuss health matters pertain-
ing to the schools, with parents, at any time.
Suggestions for increasing the value of the school health
work will be thoroughly considered by the School Physician.
Respectfully submitted,
HEMAN B. CHASE
School Physician.

In April, 1917, our attention was called to the fact that
the Treasurer of the Hyannis Fire District had not received
all money, due from the former Tax Collector, J. P. H.
Bassett.
After spending some time in examining their accounts,
by advice of the Deputy Tax Commissioner, we asked the
Selectmen to petition the Bureau of Statistics for an audit
of the ex-Collector.'s accounts.
This audit was made in .Tune last by a representative of
that department, and by authority of his report, the Town
Treasurer has paid to the Treasurer of the Fire District
the amount due the district.
This settlement with the Fire District will account for
the difference in the figures of the 1914-1915 and 1916 out-
standing taxes given in the Town Treasurer's report in
1916 and the figures of the outstanding taxes in the 1917
report plus the amount collected in 1917.

inspections.
Have analyzed 94 samples of milk officially and 54 by
request.
Of the 94 samples analyzed I found only seven to be below
the standard for butter fat.
At the recent milk contest held in Worcester, Barnstable
stood seventh in the state, with a score of 92.22 per cent.
Last year our score was 92.75 her cent.
As lono, as we can go unannounced into different parts
of the town and collect milk of this quality from the carts,
I do not think that we need to worry about our,milk supply.
Milk was taken from the carts of Harry Ryder, Henry C.
1tverett, Bacon Farm, John Bursley, Georbe Parker, James
Rothwell and Wilton Cammett.
The three caps offered by the town were won by Wilton
Cammett 1st, Henry C. Everett 2d, and John Bursley 3d.
Wilton Cammett, Henry C. Everett, John Bursley,
George Parker and Harry Ryder -will eneb receive a ribbon
from the State.

i. MOTH DEPARTMENT
To the Selectmen of Barnstable
The work of this department has been carried on along
practically the same lines as last year.
The various means which have been found by experience
to be most effective in the control of the Gypsy Moth may
be classified under four heads :
1st. The creosoting of the egg mass, which may be clone
at any time between October l.st and May loth.
2d. Spraying of the trees to poison the caterpillars.
This spraying should be done as soon as the caterpillars are
hatched, which is usually between May 25th and June loth.
3d. Thinning out of trees with a view to removing as
far as may be the kinds which form the favorite food of the
caterpillars. The Gypsy thrives only on a limited number
of species of trees, namely, the oak (especially the white
oak), willow, wild or bird cherry, gray and white birch. If
these kinds of trees are removed as far as possible in thinning
wood land while getting out firewood, etc., the caterpillars
will be deprived of their best feeding.,
The only practical method of preserving ornamental and
fruit trees around the homes and on the grounds of fine es-
tates is to creosote and spray with arsenate of lead, using 10
pounds to 100 gallons of water, as soon as the caterpillars
are seen eating the foliage.
4th. The natural enemies, Parasites, Flacherie (or Wilt)
and the Fungus disease should as they spread form one of
the most effectual means by which the Gypsy and Browntail
Moths may be held in check.
B-9
122
Spraying operations commenced on June 4th and were
continued as weather permitted through the month and up
to July 13th.
The equipment used was the two power sprayers owned
by the town, and with these working under favorable condi-
tions, as to water supply, etc., it was found that about 4800
gallons of spray could be distributed per day by the two
machines.
In spraying along the highways I have endeavored to do
as thorough work as possible along the main roads where
the large sprayer could be used to advantage.
ZD
The smaller one was used in spraying along the dirt roads
and in places where it was impracticable to take the larger
one.
Spraying for citizens on their private property was carried
on to a much greater extent than in 1916, the total receipts
being $1,277.24.
The equipment belonging to the town has been stored and
is now in perfect condition to commence operations when the
proper time arrives.
Respectfully submitted,

Moth Superintendent.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
4
To the School Committee of Barnstable:
In accordance with the rules of the School Committee, I
herewith subsi.iit my thirteenth annual report on the public
schools, the Same being the twenty-seventh in the series of
superintendents' reports.
SCHOOL BUILDINGS
REPAII;S AND IMPROVEMENTS ACCOMPLISHED
Under the heading "Repairs are included expenditures
for all repair:-2 and additions of whatever nature, janitors'
supplies of all. kinds, additional furniture, cleaning of build-
ings, etc.
The larger bills incurred in expenditures for repaifs are
mentioned below.
Barnstable Village:
Minor rep~firs only were found necessary for this build-
ing, the total expended being $103.20.
West Barnstable:
The largest bill was one of $73.24, for driving a new well,
etc., total expenditures, $136.12.
Marstons Mills:
The largest bill was for painting the exterior trimmings,
etc., $37.50. Total expenditures, $1.24.81.
Cotuit:
The largr;st bills, totaling about $212, were for wood
wainscoting in place of plaster in the halls of the Elizabeth
164
Lowell building and a protecting porch over the cellar en-
trance. Toga expenditures $338.81.
Osterville:
The largest bills were one of $300 for improving the
grounds, one of $1.38 for repairs on roof, and various smaller
bills for repairs on the engine, plumbing, etc. The total ex-
penditures were $665.23.
Centerville:
Minor repairs only were found necessary, the total ex-
penditures being $82.63.
Training School:
The interior of the Training School was thoroughly ren- ,
ovated, hivolving bills for plastering, etc., of about $175;
for painting, varnishing and kalsomining $495; repairs on
roof $100, new treads to staircases, portions of hall floors
renewed. etc.. $270,)plumbing reconstructed, etc. Total ex-
penditures were $1,367.89.
Barnstable High School:
The largest bills were for about sixteen hundred square '
feet of steel ceilings for the laboratory and main hall, total-
ing about $400. Total expenditures were $654.54.
REPAIRS AND IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED
It is not possible at the present writing to forecast the re-
pairs and improvements needed the ensuing year, but the '
expenditures will probably show a considerable decrease
from those of 1917. The committee appointed by the last
annual town Meeting to investigate the advisability of build-
ing on to the Training School or erecting a new building
on land owned by the Town in II,yannis, will report
against any present action in the matter, owing to abnormal
building conditions. Should some such action, however, be
taken in the near future, provision should be made in the
165
v new building .for accommodating one or more classes from
the high school. The commercial course, the number of
pupils in v7hieh is steadily increasing, is even now very in-
adequately .accommodated, and it is not wholly improbable
q that courses in domestic science or household economics may
soon be required subjects in the high schools.
In the new building at Cotuit the town has one of the best
arranged and most thoroughly constructed buildings of its
kind in the State. Of the ten school buildings in the town
there is none that would not pass inspection as good to ex-
cellent. Few towns in the Commonwealth could show an
equal record, and it is to be hoped that our school children
will show their appreciation of this by proper respect for
public property.
CHANGES IN THE TEACHING FORCE, 191.7
Comparatively few changes were made in the teaching
force during the calendar year. Principal Walter H. Gould,
of. the West. Barnstable school, resigned in June and was
succeeded by Mr. Goo. E. Caswell, who resigned in Decem-
ber, after one term of effective service.
Miss Harriot F. Drake, of the Cotuit Intermediate school,
' resigned in June and was succeeded in the fall term by Miss
Caroline C. Nickerson, who had previously done valuable
work in the same school_ Miss Christabel Snow, of the Co-
tuit Primary school, after thirteen years of most faithful
and efficient service, was granted leave of absence for one
,year, the vacancy thus caused'being satisfactorily filled by
Miss Geneve C. Bearse of Centerville.
Miss Ethel L. Greenleaf, teacher of the seventh grade of
the Training; school., was granted leave of absence on ac-
count of illness, and later resigned. The position was filled
by the appointment of Miss Josephine De Wolfe, who.lias
done strong work in the school in many lines.
Principal Edward R. Fowler, of the Osterville Grammar
166
school, resigned in August and was succeeded in the fall
term by Harper B. Mitchell, of Marshfield. Miss Caroline
C. Nickerson. Mrs. Eliza F. Whittemore and Mrs. Isadore
Eldredge did valuable work as substitutes during the year.
It is prob»lde that the generous action of the town in ren-
dering possible by its vote an increase of salary for the
teachers had come effect in lessening the usual large num-
ber of changes.
Dr. Heman B. Chase, whose faithful work as School Phy-
sician deserves commendation, resigned in March, to enter
hospital service in France. The School Board later elected
the following physicians to serve as School Physicians in
the villages named: ' Barnstable and West Barnstable,Dr. C.
W. Milliken; Cotuit, Santuit, Marstons Mills, Dr. S. F. Has-
kins; Osterville and Centerville, Dr. W. D. Kinney; Hyan-
nis, Dr. C. E. Harris.
The shortage of teachers existing for several years past
has now become acute and threatens consequences of far-
reaching seriousness. It is .now practically impossible to
secure competent men teachers for the smaller grammar
schools. This is especially unfortunate at the present time,
as special emphasis needs to be laid upon the teaching of
physical training, perhaps of a semi-military character,
civics, history and business practice, all-subjects, which as a
rule, are more effectively taught by men than by women
teachers. No immediate remedy is apparent for this unfor-
tunate state of affairs.
Luella Fay Maynard
Worn out in unselfish service to the boys and girls of
Barnstable. on March third last, Luella-Pay Maynard passed
to her reward Words of praise would be superfluous here,
167
b. for worthier praise exists in the uplifted lives of the hun-
dreds of pupils whom she inspired with principles of honest
work and aspirations to-worthy living. Not for a genera-
tion has Barnstable had a teacher more worthy of grateful
n. and lasting remembrance.

PROGRESS OF THE SCHOOLS
Althouah absences caused by sickness were quite as nu-
inerous as usual., the enrolment, membership and attendance
all showed an increase over the corresponding figures of the
previous year. The total enrolment was slightly over one
thousand.
No marked changes occurred in teaching subjects or
methods. The membership in the commercial course con-
tinues to increase slightly but steadily and the work in this
course in the Barnstable High now presents a formidable
task for one teacher. The courses in chemistry are becom-
ing yearly of a more practical and directly useful nature.
A new book on community civics now being introduced into
the grammar grades seems to promise more practical work
than has heretofore been accomplished in that subject.
We have been fortunate in losing comparatively few
teachers the past year and the thoroughness and faithful-
ness with which nearly all our teachers have labored during
the ,year is worthy of sincere praise. A greater task than
ever now rests upon them and they deserve and should re- .
ceive the hearty support and cooperation of all good citi-
zens.
A number of home gardens:, supervised by practical
gardeners, were carried on during the summer by the school
children, and though the results varied widely, they were
such as a whole to fully justify the extension of the work
d the corning summer. Red Cross work of various kinds is
now being introduced.
SCHOOL DEPARTMENT FINANCES
The generous act of the citizens in voting for the schools,
at the last annual town meeting, a sum larger than re-
quested. by the School Board, proved to be an act of good
judgment also, for the increase in salaries rendered possible
thereby undoubtedly resulted in retaining teachers who
otherwise would hive been forced by the abnormal increase
in the cost of living to seek better paying positions.
n
172
In revising the salary schedule, a flat increase seemed un-
just, in view of the varying length of service of the teachers
and the fact that the salaries of some were much nearer the
bread line 'than those of. others. Hence a tentative mini-
mum-maximum schedule was worked out, the regular grade
teachers being given the largest per cent. of increase, and
length of service being recognized by yearly increases until
the Maximum is reached. It is improbable that this sched-
ule is satisfactory to all concerned,. but the Board will
seek from time to time to make such changes as may seem
Justified.
The schedule as adopted may be found in the discussion
of the estin.ates for the ensuing year.
SCHOOL PURPOSES
Expenditures for "School Purposes" during 1917 showed
an increase of approximately twenty-six hundred dollars for
salaries of teaching and supervisors, the nest largest in-
crease being that for fuel, about seventeen hundred dollars;
the total expenditure for fuel approximating five thousand,
two hundred dollars.. The total expenditures for "School
Purposes," $34,939.93, were within the appropriation for
the same.
TEST-BOOKS AND SUPPLIES
By rigid economy the expenditures for books and supplies
were kept within the appropriation. The appropriation
was $1750, the expenditures, $1747.87.
TRANSPORTATION
The expeni itures for Transportation exceeded but slight-
ly those of last year. The appropriation was $6,315, the ex-
penditures $6.293.75.
REPAIRS
The expenditures for repairs were considerably larger
than usual., the largest items being the e9pnditures for the
173
thorough. renovation of the interior of the Training School,
and the improvement of the Ostervil.le school grounds. The
expenditures $3,679.76, were within the available appro-
priation.
R TOTAL EXPENDITURES
The sum expended for all school expenses of whatever
kind was $46,711.31, leaving an unexpended balance of
$840.69, to be returned to the town. At the close of the
fiscal year there were no outstanding bills of consequence.
Tuition money is receivable from the Commonwealth and
from the Lyman School.
COMPARATIVE TABLE OF RELATIVE EXPENDITURES
The following table sho-Nvs the percentage of the total
school expenditures for the items mentioned for the years
1_916 and 1917. A ten year comparison with 1916 may be
found in the report for 1916.
ITEMS 1916 1917
Salaries:
Teachers and Supervisors 53.22 52.80
Janitors 6.36 5.90
a Superintendent and Secretary 433 4.20

Transportation 14.79 13.60
RepmArs 8.43 7.90
Census and❑niscellani ous .90 .80
100.00 10000
It will be seen from the above, that, except in the case of
two items, the relative expenditures differ but slightly for
the two . years. There will probably be a decrease in the
relative expenditure for repairs next year, and also for
fuel, if the govermnent should still retain control of its dis-
tribution.

The cost per pupil for the support of the schools, including
all items except new buildings, was for the town of Barn-
stable, $49.17 ; for Barnstable county, except the town of
Barnstable" an average of $54.23, the lowest expenditure
per pupil.being $24.24, and the highest $100.57.
In taxes voted for school support, per thousand dollars of
valuation, Barnstable ranks two hundred seventy-sixth,
out of three hundred fifty-four towns, the amount being
$4.36 per thousand. The average in the towns of Barnsta-
ble county, excluding,the town of Barnstable, is$4.68. The
average for the state in'1916, the latest available figures,
' was $4.64..

COMPARATIVE SCHOOL ENROLMENT AND ETPENDITUIiES
IN BARNSTABLE COUNTY
A study of the comparative school enrolment and expendi-
tures for the ten yearyeriod previous to 1916 �iveu some in-
teresting results, as follows, the towns being represented by
numbers:
Town Enrolment Expenditures
1 Decrease 25 per cent. Increase 12 per cent.
2 Increase 1 " 27
3 Decrease 36 " 30
4 - " 17 " '• 32 "

12 Increase 25 " 100
13 " 31 " " 156 66
14 " 48 " " 157 66
a
It.will be seen by the above, that, excluding the town of
Barnstable, six of the fourteen remaining towns of the coun-
ty show an increase in enrolment, one remains the same, and
seven show a decrease; nevertheless all show increased ex-
penditures, varying from 12 per cent. to 157 per cent.
The two towns whose increase in enrolment approximates
that of Barnstable are number 8,:with an increase of 28 per
cent. and an increased expenditure'o l' 63 per cent., and Iium-
ber 1.3, with an increase of 31 per cent. and an increased ex-
penditure of 156 per cent. During the same period the in-
creased enrolment for the town of Barnstable was 30 per
177
cent. and the increased expenditure 62 per cent.
It is probable that were figures for 1917 available they .
would show but slight increase in enrolment, but a marked
increase in expenditures in nearly every case. Figures for
�. the individual towns are not available, but the school ex-
penditures throughout the state for 1916-1917 showed an in-
crease of $1,500,000 over those of 1915-16.
ESTIMATED EXPENDITURES FOR 1918
REPAIRS
As elsewhere noted the expenditures under this head in-
clud- all ordinary repairs and improvements to buildings
and ground", the cost of all janitors' supplies, additional
furniture, gleaning of buildings, etc. It is not possible . to
forecast with any accuracy the amount needed in a given
year. An appropriation of $1,750 would allow an average of
$175 per building, which would seem to be a sufficiently
conservative estimate. The estimate is subject to revision
by the School Board.
TRANSPORTATION
There is no probability of any decrease in the cost of
transportation, but every probability of some increase. An
appropriation at least equal to that of last year, $6,315, will
undoubted'y be necessary.
TEXT-BOOKS AND SUPPLIES
As expenditures under this head include all books and
printed matter used in the schools, all ordinary supplies,
and those needed for the commercial departments and the
courses in chemistry, it is becoming increasingly difficult,
with the growth of these departments and the increasio,
cost of supplies, to keep within the average sum voted for
,his purpose. Repairs to many machines should be made
and several additional typewriters purchased for the com-
wercial course, if adequate work is to be accomplished in
178
this line, next year. A large number of small. individual
dictionaries are needed for the elementary grades and a
choice should be made of some one of several excellent series
of "patriotic readers" for the upper grammar grades.
An appropriation of not less than $1,850 will. be needed., "
and this sum will probably not be sufficient if the type-
writers mentioned above are purchased. .The sum named
will permit an expenditure of about $1.95 per pupil. The
average cost throughout the State last year was $2.26 per
pupil.
SCHOOL PURPOSES
Under this head are included all. salaries and wages of
any kind whatsoever paid to employes of the school depart-
ment, the cost of fuel, now an important factor, and expen-
ditures for small items which cannot well be classified under
.other heads.
The teachers have not failed to show their appreciation of
the generous additional sum voted last year by the torn
meeting;, even though the vaulting cost of living has cut so
deeply into their increased salaries rendered possible by
that vote.
The new schedule of salaries elsewhere noted is substan-
tially as follows, based on a nine and one half months'
school year for the elementary schools and a ten months'
,y-ar for the high schools.
1. Grade teachers: First year $570, second year, $608,
third year, $640, :fourth year, maximum, $684.
2. Grammar principals, men: First year, $855, second
,year, $91.2, third year, maximum, $950.
3. Barnstable High School:
Principal; first ,year, $1,400, second year, $1,480, third
year, $1,560, fourth year, maximum, $1,680.
Sub-Master; first year, $900, second year, $950, third
year, maximum, $1,000.
179
Assistanis; first ,year, $700, second year, $750, third year,
maximum, $�00. Commercial Instructors, first year, $S00,
second year, $S50, third year, maximum, $900.
4. Elizabeth Lowell High School:
n Principal-,; first p year, $900, second year, $950, third year,
maximum, $1,000. Assistant, first year, $650, second year,
' $700, third year, maximum, $750.
5. Supervisor of Drawing; first year, $700, second year,
- $750, third year, $775.
6. Supervisor of Music; first year, $600, second year,
$650, third year, $675.
The Board reserves the right to suspend the operation of
the schedule in particular cases at its discretion.
No regular schedule of wages was drawn up for janitors,
but present payments may be found in the table of expendi-
tures for school purposes, in detail.
The new schedule became effective in April, 1917.
The increased appropriation also made it possible to adopt
a thirty-eight weeks' school year .for the elementary schools,
instead of the thirty-six weeks' ,year before prevailing, thus
bringing our schools in line with a majority of those in the
State. r
The total expended for all.salaries last year was approx-
innately 4,,29,400. As near as can be estimated, the expendi-
ture the coming_ year under the new schedule will be about
$31,600. The expenditure for fuel was approximately
$5,200. Tt seems unsafe to reckon on an expenditure of less
than $4000 for fuel. this year. Allowing the amounts men-
tioned, and $400 for the school census and miscellaneous ac-
count, the total appropriation needed for "School Pur-
poses" will be about $36,000, the sum voted last year. Sum-
mary follows:

SUMMARY OF ESTIMATES FOR 1918
1917 191E
Teat-books and Supplies, $1,750 $1,850
Repairs, 1,850 1,750
Transportation, 6,315 6,315
School Purposes, 36,000 36,000
The above estimates are based on the assumption that
there will be no essential change in the rates of compensa-
tion for teaching, janitor service or transportation, and are
subject to revision by the School Board.
Matter bearing in part on the question of school appro-
priations may be'found under the heading, "Schools and
the War."
SCHOOLS AND THE WAR
Among the many pressing questions brought to the .front
by the war for civilization are those regarding the relation
of school activities to the war, both in its present aspect and
future results Some of these bear directly on
I. Direct war aid-by the schools.
H. Present and future changes in the methods and aims
of the public schools to be brought about by lessons taught '
by the war.
III. Financial relations of present, and future school ex-
penditures as affected by war conditions and results.
1. Much more must be done by the schools toward direct
war aid than is now being done. More systematic planning
and detailed directions are needed, and a wiser discrimina-
tion betwoen mere busy-ness and profitable busy-ness. In
this connection the schools have been so swamped with all
kinds of demands from all kinds of sources for all kinds of
aid; that the State Board of Education has found it advisa-
ble to organize a committee of school superintendents to act
as a kind of judging board or clearing house to pass upon
181
the worthiness of all such demands, except those made di-
rectly by municipal, state or national officials. Wisely se-
lected war aid work, well done by the children, will have a
character forming value certainly not less than that exerted
a by the regular studies. Such work merits the heartiest co-
operation of the community.
,'The lessons of the war must be learned quickly," says
President Wilson, "if we are intelligently and successfully
to defend our institutions. When the war is over we must
apply the wisdom which we have acquired to purging and,
ennobling the life of the world.
In these vital tasks of acquiring a broader view of human
possibilities the common school must have a large part. I
urge that teachers and other school officers increase ma-
terially the time .and attention devoted to instruction bear-
:n.g directly on the problems of community and national
life."
2. It is certain that the present world catastrophe will
force upon the schools changes of fundamental significancy
to the well-being of society. That such changes should be
wisely.made entails upon the community and school officials
obligations of the deepest nature. It has been well said
that even if we make the world safe for democracy by win-
ning the war., we still shall have the harder and longer task
of malting democracy safe for the world. In this task, so
vital to the future safety and happiness of mankind, the
education of the young people will play by far the most im-
portant part.
To save civilization is our own immediate task. To re-
build a better civilization will be the greater task of the
boys and girls now in our schools. For such a task no prep-
aration can be too thorough, complete and far reaching.
Not for a moment. should any curriculum, basing its claims
for continuance upon custom and convention merely, be al-
lowed to prevent or delay the introduction and development
of subjects better fitted to produce an actively intelligent
182
citizenship. Every curriculum should be required to prove,
so far as passible, the validity of its claim to "a place in the
sun" by it probable influence in producing a sound body,
a trained land, a disciplined and open mind, a sympathetic
understanding and a developed will to right action. All
these qualities and more will be needed for the kind of citi-
zenship that the reconstructed nations of the world will de-
mand after the war. To provide the means for building
such citizenship is the momentous task now resting upon
school officials, supported by an awakened and patriotic
community.
3. Any organization social, political, educational or in•
dustrial, which in times like the present, asks for financial
support equal to or greater than that it has received in the
nast, should be able'to show reasons vital .to public,well-be-
ing for such a demand. In the case of the public schools
such reasons have been well expressed by.Payson Smith,
Massachusetts Commissioner of Education, in an address to
V.e school eommittecs of the state, as follows:
"With the approach .of the annual town meetings, when
the questicn of appropriations is to be taken up, our people
should give thoughtful attention to the unusual conditions
confronting the schools. Increased costs in every direction
bring the towns and cities face to face with the necessity of
inereasi.ig school appropriations for the coming year. The
schools have never before required more thoughtful atten-
tion to their needs, and it will not be safe to handicap them
with a policy of retrenchment.
It is worthy the attention of the American people that, in
spite of enormous expenditures for war purposes, France is
giving unprecedented attention to her public schools, and
England, for the current year, increased her expenditures
for public education 30 per cent. over that for any preced-
ing year.
In the school ,year 1915-16, Massachusetts expended ap-
proximately 27 000 000 for public education. This amount
183
was increased to $28,500,000 for the school year 1916-17.
This increase of approximately 6 per cent shows the serious
intention of our people to maintain a vigorous educational
policy. In view of the present situation, Massachusetts
cannot afford. to relax in any degree her efforts to carry on
her schools at highest efficiency.
Education is a long-time investment. Its purpose is to
protect democracy through the right training of the youth.
Even temporary interference with this purpose, through in-
adequate financial support, may seriously impair the quality
of our future citizenship. In the present crisis, it is impera-
tive that towns and cities give careful consideration to the
needs of the .schools."
Said Herbert Fisher, Minister of Education of Great
Britain, addressing the House of Commons last April,
"Nothing has been more remarkable than the attention
which b.,is recently been paid both in the public Press and
on public platforms to the subject of education. One might
have imagined that the War would have so occupied and ex-
hausted the mind of the country as to leave room for no
other t'riought. But this has not been the case. The War
has had the very opposite effect. (quite naturally, and as
it seems to me quite rightly, this great calamity has directed
attention to every circumstance which may bear upon
` national strength and national welfare. It has exhibited
the full range of our deficiencies, and it has invited us to
take stock of all the available agencies fbr their
improve-went. ,.
"Some minds attach importance to education as the
foundation of industrial and military strength. Others are
principally affected by the prospect that in the spread of
education they inay find the resolution of the discords in
our industrial life; and I notice this also, that the calamitous
destruction of ,young lives in the present War, lives of the
first: promise, does impose a solemn obligation on Parliament
so to provide for the future that the rising generation,
184
which will be deprived of its natural predestined leaders; ,
may be prepared to furnish an added measure of service to
the community."
The British Parliament responded to this appeal by in-.
creasing the national appropriation for schools $19,000,000
over that of the preceding year.
Leaders of both of our great Allies, England and France,
-,re earnestly urging us to avoid their own serious mistake
in relaxing efforts, in the first year of the war, to sustain
the public schools at the highest possible degree of efficiency.
"Free public education," says a French writer, "forms
Liberty's fundamental line of defence." The leading edu-
cational journal of. England says:
"The Fiend of War still holds Western Civilization in its
frenzied clutches. None can see the end of the slaughter,
cessation of the sacrifice of the rich flower of young man-
hood, an end to the prodigal waste of material wealth. One
thing, however, i,i certain. We of this—the fighting—gen-
eration have forged chains of •heavy toil and created huge
burdens for the children who follow us. The boys and girls
now sitting in the classrooms will have to carry a load of
national debt and a burden of taxation in the creation of
which they have had no voice. The morality of this trans-
action we will not discuss, although we believe, that is, all
but one in ten thousand of us believe, that thus our children
pay the price of their own freedom. But the appalling mag-
nitude of the burden we have placed upon our children em-
phasizes more strongly our present duty to them and the d
urgency of their call upon us."—That American citizens all
over this broad land will respond to such a call as loyally as
their sons have responded to the call to "go across," there
can be no doubt.

REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE
BARNSTABLE HIGH SCHOOL
G. H. Galger, Superintendent of Schools.
Dear Sir:
For the first time in several years the school has been for-
tunate in retaining its entire corps of teachers. Work be-
gan in September unhampered by the many changes and
readjustments incident to former years, and it is well for
the school that this was so because the effects of the war are
keenly felt in the tenseness and unrest of the boys and girls.
There have been but few changes.in the program of
studies.
The one-year course for seniors in French with which we
had such good success two years ago is being tried again this
,year and French is being studied by the first-year class in
preference to Gcrman. :Most valuable assistance and en- `
couragenient are given to the classes in French by Mr.
James Otis, who from his life in France, by his familiarity
with the customs and language of that country,-by his read-
ings and conversations in French has helped both teacher
and pupils in their work.
The classes in Physical Culture have been continued this
,year under the direction of Mr. Gildersleeve. These classes
are held at 11 A. Al. and 2.10 P. Al. I wish that every per-
son in the town who is interested in this line of work would
visit the school at the times indicated, and watch the pupils
at their exercises.
The boys agree with me that it was due to the hard coach-
ing of 1A1r. Gildersleeve that the school secured the Cham-
pionship Cup in 'baseball last June.
Through the efforts of the pupils, the Alumni Association,
B-33
186
and other fr ends a new Vose piano was purchased for the
school in February.
The following speakers have addressed the school:

REPORT OF THE COMMERCIAI, INSTRUCTOR
OF THE BARNSTABLE HIGH SCHOOI,
G. H. Galger, Superintendent of Schools:
Dear Sir:
The subjects making the commercial course at the Barn-
stable High School are:
Stenography, Junior and Senior, one year each.
Typewriting, Junior and Senior, one year each.
Bookkeeping, Senior, one.year.
Commercial II, Penmanship, one year.
Spelling, one-half year..
Commercial Arithmetic, one-half year.
Stenography III. 5-40 minute periods per week. The
first eight months are devoted to as thorough a study as pos-
siblP of the principles of shorthand, including the construct-
ing of outlines by rule, dictation. of outlines and practiced
letters, reading of simple printed shorthand, and frequent
review tests. Dictation of new matter is added in the last
two months.
p
Typewriting III. 5-40 minute periods per week. Be-
fore any exercises are attempted the machines are thorough-
ly explained and gone over. The keyboards are covered,
and the touch system of fingering is taught. Perfect copies
of exercises are required., and the issue.of paper is limited..
Slow, accurate fingering in the beginning later produces bet-
ter and spe- dier typists. During the last twenty weeks of
the Junior year, a daily test, sentence and continuous mat-
ter on alternating days, is given. Beginning with but five
minutes, this is toward the end of the year lengthened to
twenty or even twenty-five minutes, as circumstances per-
mit.
191
As nearly as one can forecast at this time, there will be a
junior class next year as large as the present class, or larger.
Stenography IV. 5 -40 minute periods per weep. A gen-
eral review of the principles is given the first part of the
year, together with daily dictation of practiced and un-
practiced material. Frequent tests, and exercises in con-
structing shorthand outlines by rule are given For dicta-
tion work regularly prepared dictation exercises for phras-
ing and outlines as well as portions of books, magazine ar•
ticles, editorials, etc., are used. Printed shorthand stories
are read. During the second half-year (beginning with
winter term) each pupil is required to act 'as secretary to
the principal, for a week at a time, in turn.
Typewriting IV. Supposed to be 4-40 ' minute periods
per week. but because of physical exercises and dragging
over of first period, we seldom get more than twenty or
twenty-five minutes of actual.work.
24 copies (or more) each of nearly 80 experiments for the
chemistry department were done in the fall term. This
gave the pupils practice in the cutting of wax and other
stencils and the use of the mimeograph. Actual business
practice has been obtained by work for the Superintendent,
Principal Doody and others. All shorthand notes are re-
quired to be written out if time permits. The pupils are al-
so given daily ten minute speed tests, according to Reming-
ton plan, and I believe all, except one girl, have won pri-
mary certificates. Before .the year is ended they will nearly
all have won the 40 word certificates, unless something un-
foreseen occurs. Some may even secure the 60 word rating.
This means 60 words per minute with less than five errors,
for ten consecutive minutes of writing
This subject should be given five (5) full 40 minute peri-
ods per week. Daily practice is what counts.
A vertical filing system has been constructed out of wrap-
ping paper and old cardboard, and copies of school letters
are now filed in the principal's office.
192
A review of the attachments to the typewriters has been
given.
Bookkeeping IV. 4-4:0. minute periods per week.
Sets as nearly approximating actual business practice as can
be given are taught, in order that the pupils may become
P°
familiar with the principles of bookkeeping. Supplemen-
tary tests and exercises are given at intervals. I try to
make the pupil depend upon himself as much as possible in
checking and finding mistakes. One year is not enough for
this work.
Commercial II. 4-40 minute periods per week. This
consists of Penmanship (Palmer method), spelling and com-
mercial arithmetic.
The penmanship, to my mind, is not a very great success,
because in every other department written work is of neces-
sity so hastily and carelessly done that the four periods al-
lowed cannot counteract that condition. However, careful
criticism and direction are given, and one page of exercises
is required each day, and this probably tends to make the
pupil's handwriting less illegible than it otherwise would
be. I can, of course, see a big improvement since the first of
the year in the work passed in to me.
Spelling is given during the fall and part of the winter
term. The words are sometimes written and sometimes giv-
en orally Proper division by syllables, meaning, and use
in sentences are emphasized. "Spelling matches" are held
at fairly frequent intervals. J^
In the commercial arithmetic I try to give the pupils only
such things as will later be used in a commercial way. The
work must of necessity be very meagre, because of the
little time available for it.
Respectfully submitted,
CLARA R. HINCKLEY,
Commercial Instructor.

REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL, OF
ELIZABETH LOWELL HIGH SCHOOI,
To G. H. Galger, Superintendent of Schools:
I herewith submit my sixth annual report.
The unsatisfactory conditions .reported last year have
righted themselves, and we now have a harmonious group
of our own pupils with common aims and interests. The
natural resolt is a more healthy spirit and consequently bet-
ter work.
The senior class spent the Easter vacation in Boston and
thoroughly enjoyed some of the many points of interest of
our state capital. Such a trip is decidedly valuable from
both social and educational points of view.
We have had talks by various speakers on problems pre-
sented by war conditions, particularly in reference to food
production and conservation. Many pupils responded in-
dividually and the girls at Ma.rstons Mills formed a-canning
club of which good reports are given.
On the morning of Flag Day we were privileged to listen
to an address by Mr. Jefferson Cole, one of the summer resi-
dents. Mr. Cole is a Civil War veteran and a. teacher of
long experience, and the pupils always enjoy his inspiring
talks.
The graduating class varied the usual program by having
a speaker. The address was given by Mr. Frederick W.
Kingman, a former superintendent of schools, whose mflny
friends were glad of the opportunity of hearing him again.
Many of our graduates and former students are in differ-
ent branches of war service and we are soon to have a ser-
vice flag to show that we are keeping
"--the Home fires burning,
Till the boys come home."
194
The fail term brought a good entering class, both in mum-
bers and in earnestness of purpose. We were glad to have
the Grammar school with us, pending the completion of the
new building•.
The program of the present year does not differ material- {�
ly from those of other ,years. Particular mention may be
made of the good work done by the entering class in Book-
keeping and English composition and practically all the
work of the other classes,.who show a rather unusual ma-
turity of thought, originality and resourcefulness.
I am glad to continue all the pleasant relations which at
one time I felt quite certain of being compelled to sever, and
to repeat my appreciation of the many favors which have
been extended during my service here.
Respectfully submitted,
BliRTON W. SANDERSON.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING
Mr. G. H. Galger, Superintendent of Schools:
Dear Sir:
It is always difficult to tell in an adequate way what
is done in a year of school work. Much time is spent each
year on work of a similar character, though we try to vary
the details. I shall therefore not attempt to describe all.
the work done but shall mention some parts of it which
are new or where I think the pupils have been doing es-
pecially good work.
Many of the pupils in the first and second year classes
at the Barnstable High 'School are working extra periods,
making it possible for them to accomplish much more than
can be done in the regular class. A large number -in the
mechanical drawing classes show excellent progress. Dur-
ing November and December many of the pupils in the
i
freehand classes spent their time in planning and making
articles from tooled leather—pocket-books, blotters, doilies,
:tnd photograph albums. Others made and stencilled de-
signs for table runners. Some however preferred to con-
tinue their work in object drawing, a few of the more
capable ones being allowed to do work with charcoal.
• This term the pupils of the first and second year free-
hand classes are studying the subject "The Furnishing of
a Home." This is one of the newer lines which are being
advocated by many of the best art educators of the country.
Its purpose is two-fold. We hope to teach the pupils first,
how to make the most of what they have; second, how to
select, when buying, what is good in desio7n and .suitable
for their use, rejecting things that are cheaply over-deco-
rated or out of harmony with the room where they are to be
198
placed. Since nearly'everyone sometime and in some way
has to meet this problem, I feel that the study of it will be
a very practical benefit to the pupils.
The girls of the senior class are doing especially good
work in charcoal drawing. One of these girls expects to
enter the Massachusetts Normal Art School next year.
I was pleased recently to hear reports of excellent work
in mechanical drawing being done by a boy from the Eliza-
beth Lowell High School, who is now at the Y. M. C. A.
Engineering School. I think much credit for his present
high standing is due to our former supervisor, Mrs.
Maynard.
The work in ,the primary and intermediate schools at
Cotuit was seriously hindered this year by the delay in
opening these schools. However we appreciate the splen-
did new building and find it very pleasant to work there.
The Christmas problem worked out in the grammar
school at Cotuit seemed, especially satisfactory to all—
pupils, teacher, and supervisor, though I hardly wish to
mention this without also speaking of the construction work
done in the other grammar schools. Various problems were
undertaken by the different schools, selected according to.
the tastes and skill of the pupils. Much enthusiasm was
shown and the results were very pleasing.
Last year in my report I mentioned the plans for holding
an exhibition of pictures in Osterville. These plans were
carried out by Mr. Fowler and the other teachers in the
village with remarkable success. A great deal of interest
was shown by the people of the village and by the pupils,
with the result that we now have in the Osterville school
twelve large pictures, three for each room,_ which are ex-
cellent reproductions of beautiful paintings.
In Marstons Mills, the ninth grade with the help of Miss
Deuel, raiser.,enough money by June to enable them to
199
buy and present to the grammar room a large picture taken
from Corot's "Spring."
Each year I realize more keenly the value of the work
done by the regular teachers and I .wish to express my
appreciation of their co-operation.

`REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC
G. H. Galger, Superintendent of Schools.
Dear Sir:
During these past few years, I have been making a care-
ful study of the work as it has been carried on in the schools
by my predecessors. Consequently I have made very few
changes in the course up to the present time.
Our grades are grouped in such manner that there is great
difficulty in trying to make one plan suffice for all villages.
In some schools, the regular teachers, owing to lack of
time, and to the number of grades in one room, are forced
to combine classes, thus necessitating an omission of some
part of the work or needless repetition. Plans can be car-
ried out most successfully in a three or four room building.
PRIMARY SCHOOLS
It has been a great pleasure, after starting the little peo-
ple in September, to find at the end of the first term so many
able to sing delightfully the songs which we teachers have
taught them by rote. They not only learn the tune and
time readily, but with practice, they interpret the spirit
which the words bring out. We have done more of rote J
singing in the first three grades than hitherto and results
have proved the wisdom of our course.
For some time it has been evident that a break existed be- N
tween the work of the second grade and that of the third.
The children seemed to do satisfactory work in reading ex-
ercises from the board and we considered they had a good
preparation for the First Reader in the third grade, but the
first term of the third grade has been discouraging. A
printed. puge in small type was confusing. This winter
term, I hope to put into my second grades a little book con-
taining exercises and songs in unusually large print. In
this way we hope to solve the difficulty.
201
INTERMEDIATE GRADES
These grades are all doing fairly good work. The Barn-
stahlP school became so large this last term, that we did not
have books enough to do our best work. The Cotuit school
is getting on well considering the delay in beginning the
Fall term.
GRAMMAR SCHOOLS
The improvement in these grades has been surprising.
Without the help of the regular teachers, I could have done
very little. They have aroused and held the interest of the
pupils in their daily work. If we can continue our work as
we have begun, the singing in our schools will be vastly im-
proved.
HIGH SCHOOLS
The new piano at the Barnstable High School, which we
have enjoyed since last February, proves to be a great suc-
cess, and is eery helpful in our chorus singing. The pupils
of the Elizabeth Lowell High School have gained more con-
fidence in their ability to sing. The boys have been able
and willing to help, making the chorus more complete.
J
The pupils of the Osterville school, under the-direction of
Mr. Fowler and the teachers presented an operetta at Union
` Hall last spring, and .from the proceeds bought an Edison
Talking Machine for the school.
During the year, pupils of the several villages have as-
sisted in the musical programs at public and patriotic meet-
ings.
