REPORT OF THE BOARD OF SELECTMEN December 31, 1964 43 To the Citizens of Lexington: The year 1964 has been one of continued growth for Lexington. The Board of Selectmen also acts as the Board of Public Works. The town has made a great deal of progress during the year in the field of public works. The Wood- haven Trunk Sewer was started and should be completed early in 1965. A de- tailed report on the operation of the Public Works Department has been pre- pared by the Superintendent of Public Works and is included further on in this report. The Route 3 Committee headed by Selectmen Robert Cataldo met period- ically with the State Department of Public Works to keep abreast of the progress being made relative to the extension of Route 3. The Town Dump on Lincoln Street was closed and the Sanitary Land Fill operation put into full operation on Hartwell Avenue. New regulations for the Sanitary Land Fill were adopted by the Board of Selectmen. The Board of Selectmen, early in January, appointed the members of the newly created Conservation Commission, The Board appointed during the year a "Human Relations Study Commit- tee." This committee was to report back to the Board of Selectmen on the need, if any, of establishing a permanent "Human Relations Commission." The Board is deeply concerned over the finances of the town and the im- pact of proposed projects over the next five years. A Financial Study Commit- tee was appointed to study the impact of proposed capital projects for the next five years as well as the possible increase in operating cost over the same pe- riod. The Financial Study Committee was to report back to the Board of Select- men early in 1965, the report to be available before the Annual Town Meeting. The Tong -range planning of the town has had as an integral part, the widen- ing of Massachusetts Avenue through the Center. This was evident in 1930 when a building line was established through what was then the O'Connell prop- erty. This is further supported by a report made to the Town Meeting when the old fire station was taken down. It anticipated that this land could be used in an exchange when Massachusetts Avenue was widened. In 1960 the Town Meeting authorized the Board of Selectmen to enter into an agreement with Joseph Trani, Inc. regarding building damages for the line which had been es- tablished through the Trani building. In 1961 an agreement was entered into which actually set a limit on the building damage due when Massachusetts Avenue was widened. In 1964 Town Meeting authorized a land exchange with the Minute Man Realty to accomplish the widening from Depot Square to 44 BOARD OF SELECTMEN Meriam Street. Late in 1964 when the Hunt Block changed hands the Board of Selectmen felt this was an ideal time to see what could be done to accom- plish what the town had been working toward for over thirty years. The Board of Selectmen contacted the new owners of the building, The 1775 Realty Trust, to see if an agreement could be reached that was fair to all parties concerned, the town as well as the property owners, The Board feels that the widening of Massachusetts Avenue is essential to the continued growth of the business dis- trict. The opportunity presents itself now to do something about it, at a rea- sonable cost. The Selectmen feel very strongly that if the town does not take the initiative now it will be many years, if ever, before Massachusetts Avenue will be widened. The Board anticipates that it will present to the Annual Town Meeting in 1965 the necessary articles for consideration by the Town Meeting to accomplish the widening of Massachusetts Avenue. The Board would like to stress in this report that the initiative on this project came from the Board of Selectmen and no one else. This is too important to the welfare of the town to be put off to another time. Respectfully submitted, LINCOLN P. COLE, JR., Chairman LEVI G. BURNELL OTIS 5. BROWN, JR. ROBERT CATALDO GEORGE C.

This past year saw the issuance of two more permits for Garden Apartments for a total of 88 units. Sixteen permits for swimming pools for the year is a decided increase over last year. There were 15 house re- locations, most of them as a result of the proposed widening of Route 2. There were, also, 20 demolition permits issued for various structures. This, also, represents an all time high. Seventy complaints were received during the year, these dealing in most cases with Zoning and Sign violations. Having served as Building Inspector for the past ten years, I am taking this opportunity to make a more detailed report covering this period. In 1955 the Department consisted of a full time Building Inspector, part - time Plumbing Inspector, part -time Electrical Inspector, and a full time clerk, which operated under the Superintendent of Public Works. 196 PROTECTION OF PERSONS AND PROPERTY At that time there were 5,443 dwellings in the Town and approximately 160 business buildings and a population of 22,250. The Department was charged with the enforcing of the Building Code, the Plumbing Code, Electrical Code, and the Zoning By -Law. The Inspectors, who were charged with the enforce- ment of these By -Laws, operated more or less independently. In 1955 the Building and Plumbing Code consisted of 64 pages, the Sign By -Law was %z page in the Building Code, and the Zoning By -Law consisted of a 50 page booklet. At the start of 1965 there were 7,659 single family dwellings and the com- mercial and business type structures had more than doubled, with the population of the Town exceeding 30,000. In 1965 the Building and Plumbing Code consists of 93 pages and the Zoning By -Law, after many additions and alterations, is more than 70 pages. The Sign By -Law is now a separate Code and the Gas Code is another 70 page Code. Since 1955 the Town has established an Historic Districts Commission and the Board of Appeals has increased their activity, both of which directly affect the Building Department. Since 1955 there has been over $55,000,000 worth of permit valuation issued at an average of over $5,500,000 worth a year. Although the Department has since 1955 been reorganized with three In- spectors operating out of one office and under the administration of the Building Inspector, the Department still operates with only one full time Inspector, two part -time Inspectors and a full time clerk, The growth of the Town, the changes in complexity of the construction, and the additional duties now expected of the Department, cannot adequately be handled by such a staff. The major problem is in the Zoning, Historic Districts, and the Sign By -Law fields. These categories plus the added Board of Appeals duties now take up a good 35% of the Building Inspector's and the clerk's time and usually at the expense of something else, The time has ccme when the Town must start considering a full time Electrical and a full time Plumbing and Gas Inspector. The most pressing need is for additional help to work in the Zoning, Historic Districts, and allied areas. All these additional duties are at present handled by the Building Inspector. It is impossible for one man to serve as administrative head of the Depart- ment, be Building Inspector, and handle the problems of Zoning, Board of Appeals, Historic Districts, and Sign By -Law and give sufficient and proper coverage for all. The Building Department wishes to thank all the Department and Officials for their assistance during the past year. Respectfully submitted, DONALD K.

Respectfully submitted, RALPH E. CHADWICK, Sealer of Weights and Measures 200 PROTECTION OF PERSONS AND PROPERTY REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF CIVIL DEFENSE December 31, 1964 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: During the year 1964, quiet but steady progress was made in disaster control, emergency planning, and resources management by the Lexington Civil Defense Department. The importance of the role of Civil Defense in the total defense structure of the United States has been outlined by the Secretary of Defense and confirmed by a report of the House Armed Services Committee made after extensive hearings. The Massachusetts Civil Defense Agency has made great progress in defining a program of disaster control and emergency planning for local governments to follow. Lexington was fortunate in 1964 as there were no major disaster situations which developed during the year. Eastern Massachusetts, however, was not as fortunate, with our neighbors suffering from drought, explosion, aircraft crash- es, and major fires. Three times during 1964 the Lexington Civil Defense or- ganization went on alert for hurricane threats. Fortunately the hurricanes turned out to sea and created no problems, On the national scale, natural disasters resulted in great damage to the country, and the Government acting through the Office of Emergency Planning and Civil Defense Organization has appro- priated nearly forty -eight million dollars in disaster relief. The need for effective resources management became increasingly apparent following the disastrous Alaskan Earthquake. Recovery from disaster requires rapid restoration or repair of those things damaged and destroyed. The wise ap- plication and use of all available resources to effect restoration, repair, and re- covery is the objective of the new Resources Management phase of disaster con- trol planning. Lexington, by its nature, does not have large pools of physical resources within the geographic limits of the Town; preplanning becomes es- sential for the most effective use of those resources that are available and for proper coordination of our requests for assistance to the State Civil Defense or- ganization. During 1964 your Director had the privilege of serving as National Vice President of the United States Civil Defense Council. This is a nation -wide organization of kcal and county civil defense directors. As Vice President, your Director has been requested from time to time to sit in on discussions and planning sessions with representatives of the Department of Defense. The in- sight into the National Program and its future direction gained by participation in these activities has enabled the Lexington Civil Defense program to move forward with a sureness and a rapidity which would not have been possible had such information come through the regular channels. Shelter Fallout shelter is the core of Civil Defense. First emphasis has been given to planning the use of the best available shelter at any time. This is, of itself, PROTECTION OF PERSONS AND PROPERTY 201 a broad effort involved not only in obtaining the shelters and making them ready, but also planning their use including assignment, warning, shelter man- agement, and so on. Surveys of existing buildings in Lexington by the Army Engineers continued during 1964. At the end of 1964, spaces for 28,013 people had been ap- proved by the Engineers for use as fallout shelters. Because of the restricted nature of the occupancy, 3,710 of these spaces while located in Lexington will not be available for use by the citizens of Lexington. Shelter spaces for the additional 8,000 people could be provided by expedient modification of exist- ing buildings and the use of portable ventilating equipment in these buildings. Emergency supplies consisting of sanitation kits, radiological kits, food, water, and medical supplies for 10,299 people have already been received from the Federal Government and placed in the shelter buildings. These supplies are provided by the Department of Defense at no cost to Lexington. Federal cost for the supplies received to date has been $24,924.43. A shelter utilization plan has been developed which provides for the most effective use of these shelters by the citizens of Lexington in the event of an emergency. This plan for Emergency Operation assigns the occupants of each residence in Lexington to a community shelter building. Prompt distribution of these assignments would be made if the situation demanded such action. The plan is being continually updated each time additional shelter spaces become available; because of these changes, distribution at this time does not seem appropriate. Warning After several false starts, the Lexington Civil Defense Warning System now seems close to realization. Bids for the system were received in November, and award of the contract by the Board of Selectmen was made in December. Com- pletion of the total system is called for within ninety days of the signing of the contract. With the completion of this system, a very important I :r.l: in the total disaster control facilities of Lexington will be completed. Radiological During 1964 the Civil Defense Department secured a supply of personal dosimeters to be used by emergency personnel in the event of a nuclear inci- dent. Forty of these dosimeters have been supplied to the Fire Department along with geiger counters and survey meters. These instruments will be im- meditely available in the event of a motor vehicle accident or other situation where there may be danger form radioactive material. A system of measuring the level of radiation through instruments assigned to the forty buildings designated as shelters plus seven additional monitoring stations is under process of being developed. During emergency operations, this will provide the Town Officials with a continuing report of levels of radia- tion within the Town. 202 PROTECTION OF PERSONS AND PROPERTY Surplus Property During 1964 the Town of Lexington received Federal Surplus Property with an acquisition cost of $29,014.88. Among the large items received during the year was a 5 -ton dump truck, two heavy -duty snow plows and frames, a large four -wheel platform trailer, and many small items of supplies and equipment which are being used by several Town Departments. Matching Funds An expenditure of $9,449.75 was made during the year for equipment under the Federal Matching Funds Program, and the amount of $4,699.87 has either been returned or is in the process of being returned to the Town of Lex- ington. This money in large measure represents a return of Federal funds for expenditures required outside of the Civil Defense program. Auxiliary Fire Service The Auxiliary Fire Service continued their weekly drills and training ses- sions throughout 1964. Members reconstructed the body of Auxiliary Rescue 12, a surplus crash truck from Hanscom Field, and this truck with the assistance of the Federal Government has been equipped with the necessary tools and ap- pliances for heavy rescue work. There were fifty-one situations during the year where Auxiliary equipment, either Engine 11 or Rescue 12, were used in the operation of the Lexington Fire Department, Members of the regular Fire Department used the equipment thirty-four times either to fill in for first line equipment or to supplement this equipment during emergency situations. Auxiliary members used the equipment seventeen times in providing assistance to the regular department. Communications With finanical assistance from the Federal Government, transistorized trans- ceivers were supplied to the Police Department for use in their cruisers. These transceivers will operate on the Civil Defense -Local Government frequency along with other Town Departments. The equipment from the police cruisers was transferred to the Public Works Department. They are now in use in trucks and other heavy units used for snow plowing and other public works activities where more effective operations can be conducted if the dispatcher has the ability to reach this equipment while it is on the road. Amateur radio operators provide the primary back -up communications link between Lexington and the State Civil Defense Agency, In addition, they would provide supplemental radio communication within Lexington during emergencies. The amateur radio organization drills and has meetings three times a month. During 1964 they assisted the Police Department on Halloween and provided communications to the Town Celebrations Committee and the Chief Marshal of the April 19th parade. Police Service Lexington's eighteen uniformed Auxiliary Police assisted the regular Police Department during the April 19th activities, both in the morning and afternoon parades. On Halloween they also were cut patrolling the Town to cut down on vandalism. 203 PLANNING AND RECREATION REPORT OF THE PLANNING BOARD FOR YEAR 1964 December 31, 1964 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: In accordance with Section 1, Article XVII of the General By -Laws of the Town of Lexington, the Planning Board hereby submits its annual report for the year 1964. The Planning Board held 41 meetings and 21 public hearings on sub- divisions, street name changes and zoning amendments, as required by state laws. As a result of proposals sponsored by the Planning Board, eleven zoning amendments were adopted by the Town Meeting as follows: Definition of "Story" amended — Sec. 2 (k) Definition of R 1 districts amended — Sec. 4 (a) Land at Shirley St. rezoned to A 1 district — Sec. 4 (g) 7 Institutional uses in R 1 districts revised — Sec. 5 (a) 7. c. Storage and distribution permitted in CM 1 — Sec. 5 (f) 2. c. Height of office buildings in C 4 districts — Sec. 5 (j) 2. a. Height of office buildings in C 4 districts —Sec. 7 (a) Regulations for institutional uses in R 1 districts — Sec. 8 (a) 5 Yards in C 2 districts next to A 1 districts added —Sec. 8 (c) 1. a. (1) Security gates permitted in C 4 districts — Sec. 8 (j) 1. b. Temporary reduced parking by Bd. of Appeals — Sec. 14 (h) Two zoning amendments were defeated, Spring St. rezoning to C 3 and Worthen Rd. rezoning to A 1. Five zoning amendments were submitted by citizens' petition and one of them (addition to C 2 district on Worthen Rd. — Sec. 4 (d) 5) was adopted by the Town Meeting. Nine new subdivisions involving 81 lots and 5,557 ft. of streets were acted upon by the Planning Board. They include: Pinewood, Section 1 (Dewey Rd.) Country Club Manor, Sec. 2 (Valile Rd. et al.) Sanderson Rd. extension Mohawk Drive off Oak St. Juniper PI. extension Jackson Estates (Brigham Rd.) The Orchard, Sec. 1 (Bloomfield St. extension) Estabrook Gardens, Sec. 1 (Hadley Rd.) Minute Man Highlands, Sec. 4 revised (Worthen Rd. et al.) 204 PLANNING AND RECREATION Eleven more new subdivisions were reviewed by the Board in the preliminary form, a majority of them is expected to be resubmitted in 1965 in the final form for approval by the Planning Board. Sixty -two plans believed not to require approval as subdivisions were reviewed by the Planning Board and endorsed, unless determined to be a subdivision. In accordance with the requirements of the subdivision control law numerous bonds and other securities, furnished by developers to guarantee streets and utilities in subdivisions, were accepted, reduced or released. The Town now holds $501,000.00 in such bonds and securities for subdivisions. Following the appointment of the new planning director in March the fol- lowing studies were undertaken and completed as a part of the long -range comprehensive plan: population projection, study of retail business outlook for Lexington, and a survey of the condition of all streets in Lexington which shalt lead to the preparation of a town map showing the status or condition of each street in town. Zoning By -Law and Zoning Map were revised and reprinted. A revision of Subdivision Regulations has been completed in draft form and is now being reviewed by the Superintendent of Public Works and by the Town Counsel. A study and analysis of present and future land uses is in progress, the League of Women Voters is assisting the Planning Board in this by making a survey of available residential land. It is the intention of the Planning Board to consolidate these studies and publish them in the form of "Phase Two" of the Summary Report on Lexington's development. The cost of legal advertising or notices on public hearings and zoning amendments, which is required by state laws and over which we have no control, exceeded the funds appropriated by more than $700.00. Part of this extra cost was met by economies in other accounts, but additional funds became necessary and $325.00 were voted for Planning Board expenses for December. In conclusion, the Planning Board wishes to thank the Board of Selectmen, the Departments and Boards under their control, and all other Town agencies, committees, and civic groups for their cooperation and assistance in 1964. Respectfully submitted, ARTHUR E. BRYSON, JR. NATALIE H. RIFFIN ROLAND B. GREELEY Lexington Planning Board REPORT OF THE RECREATION COMMITTEE December 31, 1964 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: We respectfully submit the following report covering the activities of the Recreation Committee for the year 1964. PLANNING AND RECREATION 205 During the year the committee met fourteen times and went on five field trips. Joint meetings were held with the Board of Selectmen, Appropriation Committee, School Committee, Capital Expenditures Committee, Finance Board and the Planning Board. In their deliberations, the members of the committee considered: (1) future planning; (2) immediate requirements for expansion and improvement of both facilities and program; and (3) conducting the recreational program under the supervision of the Recreation Director. A special field trip and meeting was held with the Selectmen, School Com- mittee, 'Planning Board and School Department to complete the over -all plans for the future of the Worthen Road and High School area. Meetings were also held with the Conservation Group and Lions Club to develop the Lexington Reservoir as a swimming, fishing and picnic area. Near future planning involved the completion of the Worthen Road and High School areas at the Center Playground, the completion of the Baskin area (1 acre), and the start and completion of the Sutherland Road (Liberty Heights) area, also of one acre, both for recreational purposes. Two junior size baseball backstops were installed at the Center area following the relocation of both diamonds. Tennis courts at the East and Center Playgrounds were hot topped (2 at East and 2 clay courts at Center). It is the committee's policy and intention to develop recreation areas in various parts of the town on public lands. Further development of said areas will depend upon the use and interest shown by the citizens of the particular land areas. Future improvement and expansion of facilities include drinking fountains at the Harrington and Fiske playgrounds, a major backstop for the new senior diamond along Worthen Road, outdoor basketball and all purpose hot topped areas for East and Center playgrounds and additional football stands for the visiting side of the football field. An engineering survey of the Lincoln Street area (old dump) for future recreational land is also included plus swings for the Kinneen playground. The program was expanded as follows: 1.) An afternoon summer basketball league for the playgrounds was introduced. 2.) A fall soccer program on Saturday mornings for 5th and 6th grade boys was also introduced and proved very popular with an average of 95 boys each Saturday morning. This helped to fill the gap between the summer playground season and the indoor gym classes. 3.) The winter programs were lengthened bringing recreational activities in Lexington to an eleven month program. Ice skating areas were utilized at every moment depending on the weather, The following table compares the attendance on Lexington's playgrounds during the last three years: 206 PLANNING AND RECREATION Playgrounds Arts & Crafts Swimming Pool 1962 1963 1964 12,595 12,874 15,547 9 Weeks 7,025 7,212 6,439 9 Weeks 18,538 24,387 23,552 10 Weeks Arts & Crafts was lower in attendance figures due to five rained out after- noons plus an increase in afternoon activities as pet shows, treasure hunts, etc. Cool weather helped to establish an all time playground high of 15,547. The previous high was in 1961 — 13,704. With temperatures never reaching 80° during the first 3 weeks in August, the pool attendance dropped to 23,552 from last year's record of 24,287. Sunday swim and mixed adult evening swim are still popular. All inter - playground competition was again held at the Center Playground where the major facilities were used. Girls' volley ball matches were held on Monday and Wednesday followed by water polo and swimming in the pool. Tuesday and Thursday saw the boys' junior and senior baseball teams in action. Swimming and water polo in the pool rounded out their morning sessions. All events were held in the cool mornings enabling the teams to report to their respective playgrounds for the afternoon session. Inter - playground basketball was introduced. Adams and Center, having no outdoor basketball area, played their contests at Harrington and Hastings respectively. Attendance figures were as follows: Center 3,832 Adams (East) 3,604 Parker (North) 2,708 Harrington 2,296 Hastings 3,107 15,547 (1) The playgrounds opened Monday, June 22, 1964 and closed Friday, August 21, 1964.

In 1964 ten (10) regular meetings and two (2) special meetings were held. Licenses The Board granted licenses and permits as follows: Animal Permits (including poultry) Child Care Centers 48 11 214 PUBLIC SERVICES Funeral Directors Garbage Disposal Methyl Alcohol Milk License — Store Milk License — Vehicle Nursing Homes Oleomargarine Registrations Poultry Slaughtering House License Rubbish Disposal Sewage Disposal 6 5 10 31 21 4 17 8 8 A permit is required for keeping horses, cows, goats, swine and poultry. All residents are urged to comply with the regulation in this regard. Communicable Diseases Chickenpox Dog Bites German Measles Hepatitis, Infectious Measles Mumps Salmonella Carrier Salmonellosis Scarlet Fever Streptococcal Sore Throat Tuberculosis 123 170 163 2 14 40 1 14 26 780 2 A total of 1,335 cases of Communicable Diseases were reported in 1964. According to law all Communicable Diseases must be reported either by the attending physician or by parent or guardian, At the request of the School Health Committee and a number of local physicians, a throat culture service was initiated by the Health Department iri January, This service was for the use of physicians to determine the need of prophylactic treatment of school children in contact with a primary case of Streptococcal Throat infection in the household. A change in the minimum re- quirements of isolation and quarantine in July, 1964 caused the Health Depart- ment to discontinue this service. Lexington Visiting Nurse Association The Lexington Visiting Nurse Association made 1,709 house visits on behalf of the Health Department. These calls were as follows: Communicable Diseases 982 Tuberculosis Health Supervision: Infants under 1 year 172 Pre - School Children 420 School Children 26 109 PUBLIC SERVICES 215 The Lexington Visiting Nurse Association and the School Department Nurses assisted the Health Department in the following clinics: Oral Sabin Clinic Diphtheria, Tetanus Clinic 1 Influenza Clinic for Town Personnel 1 6 Medical Emergency Service The Medical Emergency Service has proved very satisfactory. Any person can obtain a physician in case of emergency 24 hours a day by calling the Police Department, Fire Department or dialing VO 2 -8282. Premature Infants There were 22 premature infant births reported to the Health Department in 1964. According to State Law, the Board of Health must pay for the hos- pitalization of a premature infant if the family is found to be in need. One case qualified to receive assistance in the expense of special premature infant care. Health Information Special notices were produced and distributed along with newspaper ad- vertising to assure increased communication to the citizens. All communiques regarding immunization and communicable diseases from the Surgeon General's Office and the State Health Department were relayed to all local physicians. Rabies Clinic The annual Rabies Clinic was held in May and, of the 2,154 dogs licensed in Lexington for 1964, 975 were brought to the clinic for innoculation. All dog- owners are urged to take advantage of this free clinic not only to protect your own dog but also to aid in the prevention of rabies. Many dogs are being innoculated privately so the actual number being vaccinated is relatively high. Oral Sabin Poliomyelitis Clinic The Oral Sabin Vaccine Program was set up on an annual basis by the Health Department in 1964. A total of approximately 1,400 residents partici- pated in the Oral Sabin Program conducted by the Lexington Health Department in 1964. The offering of Oral Poliomyelitis Vaccine once a year on a tunic basis, for all children 3 months of age and over will insure proper immunization of all new -born babies and new residents of Lexington. Influenza Clinic The annual Influenza Clinic for all Town and School Personnel was held in October, 1964, with a total of 212 Town Employees taking advantage of the Booster dose offered by the Health Department. 216 PUBLIC SERVICES Pre - School Eye Screening Program In cooperation with the Pre - School Parent Teachers Association and the Lexington Lions Club the Lexington Health Department participated in a Pre - School Eye Screening Program for children three and one -half to six years of age. Of the 201 children screened 4 were referred to their private physicians for further examination. Glaucoma Clinic In cooperation with the Lexington Lions Club and the Massachusetts Division of the Blind the Health Department participated in a Glaucoma Screening Pro- gram in May, 1964. All patients were notified of the results of the screening and patients with any abnormalities were advised to consult their private physicians for further treatment. Of the 441 people screened 13 were referred for further treatment and 29 were advised to be tested for glasses or have their present glasses checked. Dental Clinic The Dental Clinic and the Dental Health Education Program is conducted under the supervision of Miss Isabel Cordeiro, Dental Hygienist. Miss Cordeiro replaced Mrs. Frances L. M. Porter, who resigned from the position of Hygienist this year. Dr. Thomas Bane, a local dentist, is employed for the clinic work on a part time basis by the Board of Health. The six -month follow -up program continues to prove most successful in detecting dental defects before they become extensive. Dental Certificates are also a very important part of the follow -up program. The dental buttons which were introduced in 1962 seem to be a source of stimulation to the pupils in the lower grades. In the 1963 -64 academic year, there was a decrease of an average of 14 percentage points, in the number of elementary children submitting dental certificates. In two classrooms, in which every child submitted a dental certifi- cate, banners and letters of commendation from the Board of Health were presented. Dental Health education continues to be an important phase of the dental hygienist's work. Posters were distributed to all the elementary classrooms and an eye- catching dental display provided in each classroom during National Children's Dental Health Week. Motion pictures and filmstrips stressing Dental Health have been shown in all the elementary schools throughout the year. All recommendations of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (Dental Division) for the protection of patients and personnel have been corn - plied with in regard to X -ray equipment and films used in the Clinic. Report of Dental Hygienist Dental screening examinations were completed in all the elementary schools except for the absentees which are still incomplete. During the Fall term, there were 3,972 children examined and 897 defect notices mailed. PUBLIC SERVICES The Dental Health Program for the past year included: Classroom Talks (grades 1 -6) 138 School Visits 168 Conferences 21 Oral Prophylaxis 7 Operative Report of the Dental Clinic School Patients Elementary 292 Junior High 1 High School 1 TOTAL 294 Fillings -453 Decid- Perma- uous nent 208 244 1 208 245 Extractions -48 Decid- Perma- uous nent 46 2 46 2 Treat- ments 25 1 1 27 Clinic Days (A.M. only) 69 Appointments 338 X -rays 23 Completed 144 Emergency Treatments 6 217 Exams 119 119 Mystic Valley Children's Clinic Mr. James West continued as the Board of Health representative to the Mystic Valley Children's Clinic Board of Directors. The clinic is located at 22 Muzzey Street, Lexington, and provides mental health services for children and their parents of Arlington, Bedford, Lexington, Winchester, and Woburn. Each Town is assessed according to their population. Referrals are made to the clinic by physicians, the clergy, school personnel, and law enforcement officers or a parent may call the clinic direct. No child is ever seen without the parents' full participation and approval. The clinic staff has been increased to four full -time professional workers and three one -half time professional workers. The operational report for Lexington residents is as follows: Total number of applications (all towns) 268 Lexington Residents Applications for clinical services 56 Diagnostic or treatment interviews 321 Carried over January 1, 1964 23 Interview hours 409 Additional hours spent on conferences and telephone contacts 475 Hours spent in consultation 187 Sources of referrals: 56 Schools 25 Medical 15 218 PUBLIC SERVICES Social Agencies 3 Self and Friends 13 Police Courts 0 Board of Health Receipts Child Care Centers $ 165.00 Dental Clinic Fees 142.00 Garbage Disposal Permits 8.00 Methyl Alcohol Licenses 10.00 Milk Licenses — Store 15.50 Milk Licenses — Vehicles 10.50 Oleomargarine Registrations 8.50 Reimbursement Premature Infant 78.00 Rubbish Disposal Permit 18.00 Sewage Disposal Permit 26.00 Septic Tank and Cesspool Permits 305.00 Slaughtering House License 1.00 Board of Health Expenses Burial of Animals Dental Clinic Diphtheria, Tetanus Clinic Engineering Influenza Clinic Laboratory Lexington Visiting Nurse Association Medical Attendance Medicine for Tuberculosis Patients Mystic Valley Children's Clinic Office Equipment Office Supplies Oral Sabin Polio Clinic Out of State Travel Public Health Education Rabies Clinic Sundry (meetings, dues, etc.) Throat Culture Service Transportation Tuberculosis Hospitalization $ 99.00 613.99 114.40 182.23 25.00 595.73 3,600.00 321.60 70.30 2,500.00 391.70 299.01 208.32 1 86.34 85.80 871.60 258.50 697.80 800.00 721.67 The receipts are not available for use by the Board of Health but revert to the Excess and Deficiency Account. Respectfully submitted, RUFUS L. McQUILLAN, Chairman PUBLIC SERVICES 219 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC HEALTH To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: December 31, 1964 The following is the report of the Director of Public Health for the year 1964. Laboratory The Health Department Laboratory was certified by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health to perform bacteriological analysis of water, and eating and drinking utensils. Routine laboratory analysis of milk and multi -use restaurant utnsils was performed with the supplementary testing services of the Food Industries Laboratory of Winthrop. Bacteriological analysis of water from private drinking supplies was performed. Additional water analysis (chemical and physical) of both drinking and other waters was performed by the Metropolitan District Commission Water Laboratory and the Lawrence Experimental Laboratory of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. Food Sanitation All eating establishments including hotels, restaurants, and school cafeterias were routinely inspected for maintenance of sanitary standards and for proper methods of storage, preparation, and dispensing of foods. Beginning January 1, 1965, all food service establishments (eating establishments) will have to obtain a permit from the Lexington Board of Health under the provisions of a new Statewide Sanitary Code. Food markets, bakeries, and catering establishments were inspected for maintenance of sanitary standards and for safe practices of handling and transportation of food products. Multi -use utensils used in eating establishments were subjected to routine analysis to determine compliance with the regulation for bacteriacidal treatment. Of the 372 samples collected and tested 43 or 11 % were over the accepted standard. Owners or managers were notified to correct these deficiencies. Re- sampling was done to determine compliance. Milk Sanitation There were twenty-one licenses issued for 1964 to milk dealers supplying the Town of Lexington. Two - hundred and twenty -three (223) random samples representative of all dealers were collected for laboratory analysis. Three (3) samples were positive for the presence of phosphatase indicating improper pasteurization. Eighteen samples exceeded the legal standard for a colony plate count, and thirty-eight exceeded the legal standard for the coliform count. Notices of deficiencies and re- sampling of products was carried out when stand- ards were above the legal limit. Two licenses were revoked for failure to correct violations of bacterial standards and one licensee was notified by registered mail that any further violation of sanitary standards would result in a revocation of license. 220 PUBLIC SERVICES Water Analysis The public water supply was tested weekly by the Metropolitan District Commission Water Laboratory. Additional tests of the public supply were made in six homes by request of the householders. All tests showed the public water supply free from contamination. Three well -water supplies on private property were tested and one was found contaminated. The owner of the contaminated well was notified not to use the supply for drinking or culinary purposes. Nine public and community swimming pools were routinely tested for residual chlorine and hydrogen -ion concentration to determine the level maintained for continuous disinfection. Two were found deficient in chlorine residual and cor- rections were obtained. One natural pond used for bathing purposes was analyzed . routinely and bacteriological examinations showed the water below the limits for safe bathing waters. Three small streams that serve as surface water drainage conduits were sampled and tested. All were found within the limits set for the pollution of inland waters. Lots, Cesspools and Septic Tanks Seventy -seven (77) applications were accepted for private sewage disposal systems. Approximately two hundred and fifty (250) lot inspections were made to determine grading, soil conditions, sub- surface water levels and suitability for private sewage disposal systems. Sixty -three (63) permits for private sewage disposal systems were issued after each new or replacement installation had been inspected for approved standards of construction. Public Sewers The extension of public sewers by the Public Works Department was carried out with public health factors considered a basis for selection. Applications for extensions were reviewed by the Board of Health and the areas were inspected to determine the urgency of need based on public health hazards. Sanitation of New Subdivisions There were six subdivisions and one modification of a subdivision submitted to the Board of Health for approval during 1964. All were approved for com- plete development on the basis that public sewerage and water supplies would be provided in the development. Child Care Centers The Board issued licenses to eleven (11) Child Care Centers under new regulations adopted by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. License approval requires inspections and certifications by Building and Wiring In- spectors and by the Registry of Motor Vehicles where transportation is provided. Two additional Centers are in the process of completing application requirements. PUBLIC SERVICES 221 School Health Services The Board of Health is responsible for the communicable disease regulation pertaining to school pupils and school personnel. The communicable disease regulations were amended, effective August 1964, and new editions were made available to the School Nursing Staff. The School Health Services and the Board of Health cooperated in effecting the immunization program for pupils and the physical examination requirements for teachers. Complaints and Nuisances One hundred and eighteen (118) complaints of conditions considered detrimental or hazardous were received during 1964. A breakdown of com- plaints received is as follows: 40 Exposed sewage wastes 30 Rubbish and garbage nuisances 12 Drainage problems 8 Animal and fowl complaints 3 Safety hazards 5 Noxious weeds and odors 20 General information All complaints were investigated and evaluated and corrections were ob- tained by written notices to property owners and occupants. Rubbish and Garbage One application for a permit to maintain a private dump site was received by the Board. After a hearing with the petitioner and because of the close proximity to dwellings and the objections of the Traffic Committee, the Board denied the application. The disposal of rubbish at the Municipal Dump on Lincoln Street was discontinued after October, and the new dump site at Hartwell Avenue began receiving all inorganic wastes. Inspections at the new dump site have shown the area landfill operation being carried out in accordance with accepted standards. No evidence of insect or rodent infestation has been found. Insect and Rodent Control Eighteen (18) complaints of rat infestation and eight (8) complaints of mosquito breeding were received in 1964. Rodent inspections were made to determine conditions providing harborage and food supply and recommendations were made for extermination and control. Mosquito nuisance complaints were referred to the East Middlesex Mosquito Control Project for investigation and correction. Animal and Fowl Permits Forty-eight permits to keep domestic animals and fowl were issued in 1964. Initial inspections were made to determine land area and facilities 222 PUBLIC SERVICES available with consideration for neighborhood abutters. Follow -up inspections were made to determine compliance with sanitation regulations. Five applica- tions for permits were denied by the Board after inspection showed that location and facilities were not adequate to assure that nuisances would not be caused. Convalescent and Nursing Homes Four private convalescent and nursing homes licensed by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health to give nursing or domiciliary care to the aged were inspected by the Health Officer. One home giving domicilary care was certified by the Board of Health for renewal of license. All licensed homes were found well maintained and operated. Farm Labor Camps Nine buildings used to house migratory farm workers were inspected by the Health Officer and Sanitarians from the District Office of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. Standards not meeting the requirements of the State Sanitary Code were brought to the owner's attention and corrections ordered by the District Health Officer of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. A chest x -ray Screening Program was conducted by the District Office and ten workers were screened and found negative. The chest x -ray program will be continued during the coming year. Other Activities The Health Officer maintained membership in the following professional organizations: American Public Health Association Massachusetts Health Officers Association National Association of Sanitarians Massachusetts Public Health Association Meetings and conferences sponsored by the above organizations were attended in addition to several conferences sponsored by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. The assistance and cooperation extended by the members of the Board of Health, Town Officers, Employees and Lexington Citizens are gratefully acknowledged. Respectfully submitted, JAMES F. FINNERAN, Director of Public Health PUBLIC SERVICES REPORT OF THE INSPECTOR OF ANIMALS December 31, 1964 223 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: Because of the developments described below concerning rabies, we strongly urge that all dogs be revaccinated regularly either at the annual Rabies Clinic or privately. An outbreak of Rabies occurred at Quebec and spread along the Canadian border from New York to Maine. Active trapping and poisoning of skunks and foxes on both sides of the border has become necessary to clean out the reservoir resident in the woods. There has been a 'hot bed' of infection in northern Vermont and western Maine. Here there were (approximately) thirty (30) cases in Maine, thirty (30) in New Hampshire, and fifteen (15) in Vermont, of these one (1) was a cat in Maine and one (1) dog in New Hampshire. There was one (1) horse in Maine in 1963. In Massachusetts one rabid bat from Westford bit a man in Littleton in July 1964. He was treated with the new duck embryo killed tissue vaccine and hyperimmune serum which is the official recommendation of the World Health Organization. The man suffered no ill effects either from the vaccine and serum or the bite. The Pasteur treatment of old was always painful and sometimes dangerous, but with the new vaccine these problems are eliminated. There were two confirmed cases of rabies in Connecticut in December 1964 only sixteen to twenty miles from the Massachusetts border near the Berkshires. The nearest case in New Hampshire was only one hundred and fifteen air miles from Massachusetts, which is really not too far away. All the New England States have now reported bat rabies except Rhode Island, and they probably have it too since some of the Massachusetts cases were close to the border. A survey by the Harvard University School of Public Health brought out the existence of a potential rabies problem in eastern Massachusetts. Of five hundred and twenty (520) bats of four (4) species collected in southern New •England from fifty -six (56) sites, eight (8) bats were declared positive for rabies after an examination of their brain tissue. Dr, Kenneth F. Girard in this report stated that three of the eight were "probably sick" and the other five showed no signs of ill health, All except one of these were found in eastern Massachusetts. "In view of the potential danger" the investigators wrote in the current New England Journal of Medicine "it is important that all persons be cautioned, especially children, to avoid handling of bats. In the light of our findings, bat bites whether unprovoked by the bat victim or not, should be considered bites by a rabid animal until proven otherwise, and to be treated promptly according to the recommendations of the World Health Organization." The recent run of racoon deaths has been attributed to an epidemic of virus distemper the same as in dogs. There have been other deaths in 'coons' 224 PUBLIC SERVICES in the Amherst area of an encephalitis type due to Listeria monocytogenes which is regarded as the etiologic agent of infectious mononucleosis in man. Diagnosis of the racoon encephalitides agent was necessary in the light of the rabies problem. Let me emphasize again the importance of vaccinating your dogs once yearly for Canine distemper since one -third of the properly protected dogs lose their immunity completely in one year and another one -third in two years. The vaccination given at the clinic is for rabies and not canine distemper. During the Spring of 1964 epidemic of canine distemper in Lexington, the dogs who died from this virus disease were those who had not been vaccinated at all or who had not received their annual boosters. Cats also have their type of distemper which is completely different from the canine type although they are both viruses. Cats are not affected by dog distemper virus nor vice versa. The cat distemper virus kills the white blood cells. Annual vaccination is recommended. There were five animal heads sent into the Wasserman Laboratories this year for rabies examination, all tested negative. The animals concerned had bitten people, and had to be examined as defined in the Rabies Control Law. There were a total of 170 animal bites reported in 1964, these bites are as follows: 160 dog bites 2 cat bites 2 hamster bites 2 mole bites 2 mouse bites 1 racoon bite 1 squirrel bite The Rabies Clinic, held annually in May, has proved to be most effective. The number of dogs vaccinated has increased each year. Be sure to get your dog and cats vaccinated privately each year for Canine Distemper, Hepatitis and Feline Enteritis The usual calls were made to inspect animals according to instructions of the Director of Livestock Disease Control to be sure there were no contagious diseases present, and that the animals were in goad health. This information also serves as an annual animal census: Cows, Bulls and Beef Animals 60 Horses and Ponies 66 Sheep 6 Goats 7 Swine 117 All animals and premises were found to be free of contagious diseases. The Inspector of Animals wishes to express his appreciation to the Board of Health, the doctors, and the police for their excellent cooperation, 'Respectfully submitted, DR. CARL R. BENTON, Inspector of Animals PUBLIC SERVICES REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC WORKS December 31, 1964 225 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: In accordance with Article XXII, Section 1, of the By -Laws of the Town of Lexington, I submit herewith the annual report covering the work of the Public Works Department during the year 1964. The last few years has found the growth of Lexington somewhat slowed down from post -war years. The number of new homes has reduced almost in half in the last few years. However, the problems that face the Town in the way of public works projects have not yet taken a downward trend. In fact they are moving up. Lexington is a town covering a large area. Much of the Town is not yet sewered, the new schools have made the need for new sidewalks greater each year, there is still much to do in the way of new street construction and reconstruction, etc. The following table shows comparison of employee personnel as of December 31st over the past five years: 1960 2 8 6 15 Administration Engineering Clerical Park Department Custodians Public Works Department 1961 3 9 6 16 3 3 34 35 1962 3 7 6 15 3 34 1963 3 9 6 16 3 36 1964 3 10 6 16 3 39 68 72 68 73 77 STREET CONSTRUCTION — SUNDRY STREETS: On August 10, 1964 a contract was awarded to Belli Brothers, Inc. for the construction of certain streets and drains. The amount of the contract was $101,007.50. The streets included in this contract, which were done under betterment were: Drainage Street Length Length Size Blake Road 615' 585' 12' Nowers Road 625' 45' 12" Nowers Road 205' 15' Albemarle Avenue 830' 180' 12" Winn Avenue 162' 12" Sullivan Street 343' 30' 6" Perforated Sub Drain Sullivan Street 415' 12" 2891 Feet 1 622 Feet 226 PUBLIC SERVICES STREET CONSTRUCTION— CAPITAL OUTLAY No appropriation was made for reconstruction of existing public ways in 1964. CHAPTER 90 CONSTRUCTION: A contract was awarded to J. J. O'Brien & Sons, Inc. on October 7, 1964 in the amount of $171,334.24 for the recon- struction of Massachusetts Avenue from the Arlington - Lexington line to Marrett Road. The funds available are the Chapter 90 appropriations of 1963 and 1964 coupled with Chapter 718 and 822 funds. Work began late in 1964 and will be completed by mid - summer of 1965. CHAPTER 90 MAINTENANCE: On June 29, 1964 a contract was signed with Trimount Bituminous Products Company in the amount of $34,515.00. Part of the work in the contract included the following street under Chapter 90 Maintenance: Street Length Waltham Street 2118 Feet CURBING: The amount of $5,000, was appropriated in 1964 for the in- stallation of granite curbing. This is the amount which has been appropriated for the past several years. A breakdown of this work follows: Street Length Bedford Street 343' Waltham Street 1077' 1420 Feet SANITARY LAND FILL: In 1964 the use of the Lincoln Street dump as a modified sanitary land fill came to an end. The new Hartwell Avenue site was opened and is being operated as a fully sanitary landfill, which entaiis covering the rubbish after compaction with clean fill. To develop and prepare the new area much preliminary work had to be done. Except for the original excavation of peat and backfilling with good material done by contract in 1963-1964 for the starting area and roadway, all the other preparations and incidental work were accomplished by Town Forces. These preparations included: A 6" water main extending from the intersection of Hartwell Avenue and Maguire Road into the landfill area; excavating a 24" gas main so a steel sleeve could be placed around it by Algonquin Gas Company and later backfilling the trench; sealing off the starting area with dikes or dams to keep ground water from travelling into and out of the rubbish; and clearing trees and brush where necessary. The contract with the exterminator was continued at both Lincoln Street and Hartwell Avenue during the year with excellent results at both sites. Covering the rubbish has prevented any insect or rodent infestations. Except for certain holidays, the dump is open every day. It is closed on the following holidays: New Years Day, Easter Sunday, April 19th, May 30th, July 4th, Labor Day, Veterans' Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas. GARBAGE COLLECTION: On May 18, 1964 a contract was signed with PUBLIC SERVICES 227 Stanley Roketenetz, Inc. to collect garbage for the one year period beginning 'June 1, 1964. 228 PUBLIC SERVICES N 't O N r] N— O N N u1— min - - Mmm o br) V N hNa P 000 m o M Nn O N N n— b 0 `p in N 0 R N 0 N U 0 This contract was more rigid than in other years.

Fifty 800 lumen lights were removed during the year. Sixty -four 1,000 lumen, 10 -2,500 lumen, 1 -6,000 lumen, 5- 11,000 lumen M.V. lights were installed, so currently lamps in service are as follows: 800Lumen 1089 1,000 " 896 2,500 " 109 3,500 " 4 4,000 " 32 6,000 " 30 7,000 " 1 10,000 " 5 11,000 " M.V. 117 20,000 " M.V. 51 STREET SIGNS: During 1964 75 street signs were replaced or newly in- stalled. A new and larger "MUNICIPAL PARKING" sign was made and in- stalled at Edison Way, several large signs concerning the use of the Hartwell Avenue Landfill, including "Rules and Regulations" and a large directory type sign were also made. These wooden signs and many other numerous signs were all made by the department. TRAFFIC REGULATION AND CONTROL: Some of the breakdowns in this budget include: painting street lines, crosswalks and other traffic control markings, making and installing all kinds of traffic signs, maintenance of existing traffic lights and installation of new lights. The approximate number of linear footage painted is shown below. Center Lines 65,300 Ft. Crosswalks 8,860 Ft. Curbing 1,480 Ft.

The old traffic lights in front of the Bedford Street Fire Station and at the intersection of Worthen PUBLIC SERVICES 231, Road and Bedford Street were replaced with new lights. These lights are actuated by the Fire Department when necessary or automatic actuators under the pavement. The department also maintained the traffic signals on Mass. Avenue at Waltham Street, Locust Avenue and near the Adams School. All other traffic signal lights in Lexington come under the State Department of Public Works. The department made many temporary traffic control signs for use while construction was going on. These included such signs as "Road Closed," "Road Under Construction," "Detour /' etc. There were 137 other traffic signs made. These included speed limit signs, parking signs, one -way signs, stop signs and various others for the control of traffic and protection of pedestrians. ROAD MACHINERY: The following equipment was purchased and received by the department during 1964: 1. Front End Loader with 2 cu. yd. bucket and 3 cu. yd. snow bucket —new. _ 2. Three - quarter ton Pick -up Truck with Utility Body —new. 3. 2 door Sedan from Police Department —used. 4. Dump Truck —GVW 27,000 lbs.— Gov't. Surplus —used. 5. Tractor & Trailer Combination —used.

Pellegrini Corporation for the construction of the following bituminous concrete sidewalks: Street Length Bedford Street 185' Bow Street 66' Dewey Road 893' Vine Brook Road 111' 1255 Feet HIGHWAY MAINTENANCE: In 1964 the department maintained 100.91 miles of public ways. This represents an increase of 2.94 miles over 1963. Among the many varied operations which fall under this category are the following: 1.) Street Cleaning. Except for inclement weather or equipment breakdowns, the department's two mechanical sweepers were out almost every day. These machines swept a total of approximately 1,200 miles of streets. In addition, all the schools, parking lots, and Munroe and Westview Cemeteries were also cleaned many times during the year. 2.) Pavement Maintenance: The following list of streets were sealed by Town forces in 1964: 232 PUBLIC SERVICES Location Holton Road —Wood Street to Patterson Road Pine Knoll Road — Bedford Street to Bedford Town Line Eaton Road — Bertwell Road to Blake Road Blake Road — Simonds Road to Eaton Road Harding Road — Simonds Road to Bedford Street Robbins Road — Lexington Avenue to Locust Avenue .., Locust Avenue — Massachusetts Avenue to Follen Road Reed Street— Bedford Street to Garfield Street Gleason Road — Fuller Road to Williams Road Dexter Road— Simonds Road to Williams Road Bertwell Road —North Hancock Street to Fuller Road Kendall Road — Marrett Road to Hilltop Avenue Farmcrest Avenue Waltham Street to Stedman Road Hilltop Avenue — Kendall Road to end Length 768' 1,144' 808' 230' 990' 796' 1,896' 2,343' 1,390' 585' 890' 590' 1,407' 638' Total 14,475 Feet The following list of streets with the exception of Chapter 90 streets were resurfaced under a contract awarded to Trimount Bituminous Products Company. This contract, handled entirely by the Town Engineer's Office, was in the amount of $34,515.00.

The grading and relaying of curbing on this project was accomplished by Town labor and equipment. PUBLIC SERVICES 233 3.) Drain and Brook Cleaning. In 1964 all of our catch basins were cleaned at least once. Some were cleaned twice for a total of 3,252 catch basins. Several drainage systems were flushed and /or cleaned with our bucket machines. Ap- proximately 4,000 feet of brooks were cleaned by the department during 1964. 4.) Sidewalk Maintenance. During 1964 a contract was awarded to Celluci Construction Company of Watertown in the amount of $7,365.28 for approxi- mately 6,970 square feet of concrete sidewalks. This contract was handled entirely by the Town Engineer's Office. Among the streets where these walks were constructed are: Taft Avenue Aerial Street Stevens Road Cherry Street Daniels Street 5.) Miscellaneous Maintenance. During the year much time was spent on miscellaneous items such as roadside mowing, miscellaneous drain construction, guardrail and fence repairs, raising structures such as gate boxes, catch basins and manholes, patching pot holes and trenches, wall repairs, parking lot mainte- nance, sidewalk maintenance, etc. DRAIN CONSTRUCTION: (Contract). During 1964 the following drains were installed by Belli Brothers, Inc. This work was included in a contract for streets and drains.

The cost was $38.79. METERS: During the year a total of 139 new meters were installed in new houses. Additional work included removing, repairing and testing 403 meters and replacing them. SERVICE CALLS: Four hundred six water and sewer estimates were given and 358 of these were paid to be installed. 1542 service calls were made to houses and 427 contractors calls. WATER TREATMENT: During 1964 the department continued treating Lexington's water system with a chemical commonly known as "Calgon." This chemical helps control the "red" water caused by the rusting of old, unlined water mains and dead ends by depositing a microscopic coating over the inner walls of these pipes. Thus far this treatment, approved by the State Board of Public Health, has proved itself in that the number of "rusty water" calls has been greatly reduced. The amount of Calgon used varies with the consumption of water as reported to the department by the M.D.C. DISTRIBUTING MAINS: Water main breaks and leaks were repaired in various streets throughout the Town, as indicated below: Street Independence Avenue Massachusetts Avenue 12" Massachusetts Avenue 12" Vaille Avenue 8" Coolidge Avenue 8" Watertown Street 12" Woodcliffe Road 12" Saddle Club Road 8" Munroe Road 6" Baker Avenue 6" Juniper Place 6 ' Woodland Road 6" Massachusetts Avenue 12" Size of Main PUBLIC SERVICES Tyler Road 8" Walnut Street 10" Minute Man Lane 6" Summer Street 16" Green Lane 6" Revere Street 8" Trotting Horse Drive 6" Pleasant Street ..., 12" Massachusetts Avenue 12" Columbus Street 12" Oak Street 12" Pleasant Street 12" Buckman Drive 8" Columbus Street 4" Flintlock Road 8" Columbus Street 4" Hill Street 12" Lowell Street 6" Massachusetts Avenue 8" Columbus Street 4" Meriam Street ..., 6" Sewer Division General Information 237 Lexington is part of the North Metropolitan Sewerage District.

This includes general maintenance and running the standby engine generator under full load weekly to insure its being ready in the event of a power failure. This station handles almost all of the North Lexington area as well as the Town of Bedford. Our smaller stations were checked semi - weekly including a new station built during 1964 on Worthen Road. The three other stations are on Byron Avenue, Patterson Road and Constitution Road. Stoppages: In 1964 the department made 149 emergency calls covering such items as plugged services, plugged mains, broken mains, etc. 238 PUBLIC SERVICES Routine Cleaning of Mains: In 1964 approximately 18,924 feet of sewer mains were cleaned of sand, silt, gravel and other debris. Although the depart- ment does not have the men or time to put this sort of cleaning on a regular basis at present, we do look forward to establishing a routine program of this type in the future as a function of major importance to sewer maintenance. Television Inspection and Sealing Leaks in Mains: During rainy weather or spring thaws a large amount of ground water from various sources overloads our Myrtle Street pumping station via infiltration into our sewer mains. During 1964 a contract was signed with the Penetryn Company to use a ciosed- circuit television inspection in combination with another system of sealing leaks from inside the pipes with the hope of reducing ground water infiltration. The program was begun in April of 1964 and discontinued in June because of dry weather. Without rain there was no ground water to infiltrate. Where leaks were found right at pipe joints, the method of sealing worked very well. However, no satisfactory method of sealing house connections that were tapped into the main line sewer was found by the company doing the work. The results of this work were inconclusive and the program was suspended indefinitely. Of the $20,000. appropriated, an amount of $5,640.75 1was spent. Sewer Construction Three contracts were awarded for the construction of sewer laterals in 1964. The first was signed on May 4, 1964 with Ricci & De Santis Const. Co., Inc. and was in the amount of $148,563.50. At the present time this contract is approximately 90% completed. It is expected to be completed by the spring of 1965.

Field work commenced in April with insecticide applications on the Spring Brook of Aedes mosquito larvae. The malathion and paris green which were used proved less effective than DDT, particularly when applied from the air. When adult mosquitoes became abundant in late May and June, truck fogging and helicopter spraying were done with malathion. In July the Mansonia mosquito sources became troublesome and were fogged by truck, helicopter service being unavailable at the time. Sources of Culex mosquitoes were inspected and sprayed routinely from late June into September. Catchbasins were sprayed with baytex. In general, mosquitoes and mosquito complaints were numerous in the north and west part of Lexington during the first half of the season. In the second half of the season the trouble was light and scattered. PUBLIC SERVICES 241 Special Projects In 1964 the sum of $2,000.00 was appropriated at Town Meeting for the development of a recreation area in East Lexington on Town land. This work was completed at a cost of $1,974.00. The area was cleared of scrub growth and trees and graded. A layer of loamy peat was spread, graded and seeded to complete the project. Another large area of the New Center Playground was also completed in 1964. Some projects undertaken for other departments include such items as: picking up and delivering Civil Defense materials to stock public shelter areas; extending water main at Westview Cemetery; painting parking lots and play- ground areas at Lexington schools; setting up voting machines; excavating and grading part of a parking area at Lexington High School; patching and sweeping school driveways; grading and laying curb for Hancock School parking area; making and installing traffic signs in co- operation with the Lexington Police Department; sweeping roads at Westview and Munroe cemeteries, etc. In conclusion, I wish to acknowledge with thanks the assistance and co- operation given to the Public Works Department by officials of the Town and members of the various Town departments. Respectfully submitted, JOHN J. CARROLL, Supt. of Public Works REPORT OF THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT December 31, 1964 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: 1 submit herewith the report of the Engineering Department for the year ending December 31, 1964. In 1964, the work of the Engineering Department was divided into the following categories: 1) Sewer —Field and Office 2) Water —Field and Office 3) Street —Field and Office 4) Drain —Field and Office 5) Sidewalk —Field and Office 6) Map Work — Office 7) Subdivisions —Field and Office 8) General Field Work —Field 9) General Office Work— Office 242 PUBLIC SERVICES 1.) Sewer — Field and Office -27.8% Early in 1964, our own field crews did a great amount of preliminary field work on the sewer laterals which were expected to be built by con- tractors during the year. This work was plotted in the office, then given to our consultant for design and construction. An amount of money sufficient to cover the work done by our own personnel was deducted from the consultant's fee. In 1964, there was a major change in the installation of sewer services. Previously the Public Works Department had installed services from the main to the house. Now the Public Works Department installs services only from the main to the street line and all work on private property is done by approved contractors. A great deal of time was spent by this department in setting up the new system and administrating the transition. While this system has provided the Public Works Department with much needed time for other projects, the result has been that the Engineering Depart- ment has had to spend twice as much time as normally alloted to service inspection. We also made several studies for future sewers, involving both field and office work, prepared plans for all betterments to be assessed on sewer work, prepared sewer easement plans, contacted property owners prior to the taking of sewer easements and provided information on the location of sewers to the public; 2.) Water —Field and Office -8.1 % In 1964, Town forces installed 2883 feet of water mains. The Engineering Department did the preliminary survey, made construction plans and inspected the work during installation. Each year we also spent much time in making additions and correc- tions to the water - gate -tie books which are used by the Water Division of the Public Works Department in shutting off water mains for repair or maintenance. This year we also spent much time in giving water service estimates in the same manner as sewer service estimates outlined above; 3.) Street —Field and Office -26.0% 2.94 miles of streets were accepted by the Town Meeting in 1964. For the convenience of the public we are listing them in this report as follows: A.) Betterments Length Albemarle Avenue 830' Blake Road 615' Dunham Road 473' Nowers Road 625' Sullivan Street 348' Sub Total 2891 Feet -0.55 Miles PUBLIC SERVICES 243 B.) No Betterments Length Bryant Road 1900' Fairbanks Road 2517' Fessenden Way 990' Marshall Road 830' Mill Brook Road 456' Page Road 895' Phinney Road 628' Rogers Road 375' Rolfe Road 440' Sanderson Road 453' Suzanne Road 667' Tufts Road 2473' Sub Total 12,624 Feet -2.39 Miles Total 15,515 Feet -2.94 Miles For all these streets, acceptance plans and taking plans were made and recorded. The making of these plans involves a great deal of field work. This year we have a qualified surveyor working in the department and we have for the f;rst time in many years had complete plans of streets. We have been able to locate points for bounds on the 1963 streets which were bounded in 1964, locate the points for the 1964 streets which will be bounded in 1965, and make accurate preliminary surveys of the 1965 streets; A representative of the Engineering Department attended all street hearings to answer questions. The Engineering Department made studies and plans for and supervised the contract for the installation of traffic signals for the intersections of Reed Street, Revere Street and Hill Street, and Worthen Road with Bedford Street. The department also determines the location for several new street lights each year; 4.) Drain —Field and Office.-5.2% On drain easements, as on all easements, owners were contacted prior to taking by the Town. In 1964, although most of the work was done by outside forces, a great deal of time was involved on making easement plans and talking to owners; 5.) Sidewalk —Field and Office -4.2% Approximately 1255 feet of bituminous concrete constructed during 1964. Approximately 6970 square concrete sidewalks were reconstructed. sidewalks were feet of cement On sidewalk work, the Engineering Department makes and records betterment plans, handles contacts and inspection where necessary; 244 PUBLIC SERVICES 6.) Map Work — Office -8.4% Half of this time is spent in updating and correcting the Assessors' Maps. In addition, all other Town maps are updated each year; 7.) Subdivisions —Field and Office -5.0% Approximately 2198 feet of subdivision roads were approved and began construction in 1964. Under the direction of our Construction Inspector, inspections were made of all utilities in these subdivisions. Prior to the approval of the plans, the department reviewed them and advised the Planning Board as to their acceptability; 8.) General Field Work — Field -7.0% General field work is covered mostly in the work which we do each year for other departments and companies. This year the Engineering Department handled every phase of a contract with Dennis Driscoll Co., Inc. for the resurfacing of two tennis courts at Adams School and the reconstruction of two tennis courts in the Centre recreation area. We provided plans, grades, and inspection for the construction of the athletic field at Sutherland Road and the Centre recreation area as well as the finishing of part of the Westview Cemetery. In order to safeguard the Town, a substantial amount of time each year is spent in inspecting the work of private contractors working for various companies who obtain permission to open the Town's streets. These may be the Boston Edison Company, New England Telephone and Telegraph Company, Mystic Valley Gas Company, or private individuals. 9.) General Office Work— Office -8.3% Many plans came into the department during the year which had to to indexed and filed for future reference. The public is constantly coming in to look at plans and maps and this involved a great deal of the time of the office staff. We also had many meetings during the year with representatives of the New England Telephone and Telegraph Company, the Boston Edison Company, and the Mystic Valley Gas Company, etc. We feel that through the effort of all the members of the Engineering Department, we are accomplishing more each year. We hope to be able to continue this favorable trend in the corning years. Respectfully submitted, JOHN J. CARROLL, Town Engineer PUBLIC SERVICES 245 REPORT OF THE PARK DEPARTMENT December 31, 1964 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: As in the past years, we are combining the reports of the Shade Tree, Insect Suppression and Park Divisions into two sections. Section One will cover the activities of the Park Division and Section Two the Shade Tree and Insect Sup- pression. Section One The Department purchased no new heavy equipment this year. We did, however, buy such small equipment as new gang mowers and two power mowers. Center Playground: In addition to the regular maintenance work at the Center Playground, the following work was carried on: repairs were made to the Little League and baseball stands. One new water service was put in for water- ing fields. The two clay courts were resurfaced with a Laykold Surface course. Also two at the Adams School were resurfaced. Part of Park Drive was removed and seeded. One Little League field was relocated and has been foamed and sodded and the fence relocated, repaired and painted. This work all had to be done due to the building of the new high school. One field was enlarged alongside the enclosed field fence and is now a regular size soccer field. Inside the enclosed field we now have an additional soccer field. The usual repair work was made to the cinder track. One Park employee was assigned to the pool dur- ing most of each day throughout the summer. Under Article 52 of the Annual Town Meeting of 1962, an amount of $42,000 was appropriated, at the request of the Recreation Committee, for developing a large area in the Center Playground between Worthen Road, Park Drive and the enclosed field. One part of this area was completed in 1962 and another large area in 1963 and 1964. An additional area is still incomplete but at least three quarters of the area is available for playing on this spring. On the new area completed, we now have an additional Little League field, two Hockey fields for girls and we hope to have a hard -ball field and soccer field completed this year. Additional and replacement trees and shrubs were planted in most of the park areas. Our weed control program was carried out wherever necessary. One section of the Common was loamed and seeded, leaving one more section to be done. We have been doing over a section each year due to a snow mold condi- tion and also spots where weeds became prevalent. Under Article 44 of the Annual Town Meeting of 1964, the amount of $2,000 was appropriated for the construction of a play area in East Lexington. 246 PUBLIC SERVICES In conjunction with the Public Works Department, an area of 200' x 200' was foamed and seeded and should be ready for activity this summer. Other parks, triangles and baseball areas at the Diamond Junior High, Fiske, Adams, Franklin, Hastings and Harrington Schools received regular mainten- ance including fertilizing. Town Office Building Grounds: The grounds around the Town Offices and Cary Memorial and School Administration Buildings were maintained by this department. They were continuously mowed during the summer season and flowers were planted and shrubs trimmed. Sections of sod were put in where weeds had taken over. Winter Work: This division maintains skating areas at the Center Play- ground, the Reservoir at Marrett Road, Kinneen's Pond, Adams School, Fiske School, Harrington School, Muzzey Junior High, Franklin School and at Willard's Woods. All these areas were flooded as needed. After the emergency snow removal, these areas were plowed to the extent that time allowed. Areas at Bowman Park, Parker School, Adams School, the Reservoir and sections of Willard's Woods were pruned of dead wood and generally cleaned of brush. Section Two Shade Tree Planting: Each year we are planting more public shade trees. During the spring and summer, 261 trees of all varieties were planted in new developments and other streets throughout the Town. In most cases, these were new trees but some were replacements. It is our policy to replace trees that have been removed because of disease, construction, etc., as soon as possible. Most of these trees were planted on private property, so they would have a better chance of survival away from the telephone and light wires. There is a great deal of construction work being done in town from year to year, and it is our policy to require the contractors to save as many trees as possible and have them dig by hand, in many cases in order to save a tree. Due to the drought of the last two seasons, I believe that we will lose quite a few Maples this coming year. The Shade Tree Division replaced several power saws, etc. Each year we are increasing the stock in our tree nursery at the Public Works Building on Bed- ford Street. This enables us to have a better selection of trees and reduce the over -all cost of new trees. Spraying: A law just passed requires that all local Superintendents and their men pass a written examination by February 1, 1965, before they will be al- lowed to apply pesticides. The last two years, we have cut dawn on our spray- ing program and hope to do less spraying in the future. Our whole spraying program has been evaluated due to additional information received from the University of Massachusetts, Waltham Field Station and the Department of Public Health in regard to the effects of spraying on wild life. In place of D.D.T. this year, we used Methoxychlor for Dormant spray. For leaf spray we used PUBLIC SERVICES 247 "Sevin". These materials were recommended by the above authorities instead of D.D.T. for the control of the bark beetle, carrier of the Dutch Elm Diease, and the use of "Sevin" for the control of the Elm Leaf Beetle. These are far less toxic to wild life. Each year seems to bring out a different insect pest that needs control. The major nuisance the last several years has been the EIm Leaf Beetle. These can sometimes be found hibernating in attics, if an elm tree is in the neighbor - hocd. This beetle feeds on elm leaves in the early summer causing the leaves to turn brown in the fall, often giving the impression that the tree is infected with the Dutch Elm Disease. A continuous infestation of this beetle can weaken the tree sufficiently to make it more susceptible to this disease. Our dormant and summer spraying was done with our own crew. Our hy- draulic sprayer was used in hard to reach places. The mist blower was used where range and height was the most important consideration, such as parks, playgrounds, cemeteries and swamp areas. In addition to tree spraying, we also sprayed the dump by hand at regular intervals, to prevent the breeding of cock- roaches, flies, etc. We answered many requests to spray poison ivy on public and private property during the summer. We have been doing herbicide spray- ing for the control of weeds growing up through sidewalks. Removing and Pruning Trees: During the year we pruned approximately 117 trees of different varieties excluding elms. Street construction was respon- sible for the removal of about 45 trees. Most of these were removed by private contractors. We cut approximately 22 stumps below the grade with our stump cutter. This machine has proved to be an invaluable tool in the removal of these unsightly objects. Dutch Elm Disease: A great deal of time was spent trying to control the Dutch Elm Disease which is showing improvement on public trees. This is a fungus disease that spread to the United States from Europe, between 1920 and 1930. Since that time it has spread and destroyed many valuable trees on pub- lic and private property. This year we have pruned 123 trees. This is one of the best ways of controlling the disease because the Dutch EIm Disease Bark Beetle enters through dead wood. The Shade Tree Division also removed 75 dead elm trees on private property because they were a source of spreading the disease. These were trees that could not be tested because live wood has to be present in order to get a positive test. The following is a comparison of the Dutch Elm diseased trees found in Lexington since 1960: 1960 85 1961 45 1962 27 1963 31 1964 24 248 PUBLIC SERVICES The trees tested this year included 16 privately owned and 8 public trees which have been removed. I feel that we are certainly reaching the point of control of the Dutch EIm Disease. We are doing a great deal more on sanitation work and the removal of public and private trees has dropped a great deal. In conclusion, I wish to thank the Board of Selectmen, the Superintendent of Public Works and the many other departments that have helped us during the past year. Respectfully submitted, PAUL E. MAZERALL, Supt. of Parks & Shade Tree Division PUBLIC SERVICES REPORT OF THE CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS December3l, 1964 249 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: The Cemetery Commissioners submit their Annual Report for the year 1954. The regular maintenance work has been done on the grounds, driveways, trees and shrubs of the four cemeteries. There were eleven interments in Munroe Cemetery and one lot was placed under Perpetual Care. Twenty graves were raised and reseeded. Repairs were made on the summer houses and also on one of the tool sheds. At Colonial Cemetery one hundred feet of picket fence was painted. Repairs were made on the brick and cement work of the tombs. The tombs were also reloamed and seeded. Several headstones were straightened. At Westview Cemetery there were one hundred forty nine interments, seventy five lots, fourteen single graves and ten baby graves were sold. Twenty - eight graves were raised, foamed and reseeded. Approximately eight hundred feet of two inch water pipe was installed in the Hillside and Sunset section of Westview. The extension in the Sunset section was graded, loamed and seeded. The new road surrounding this area was black topped. The following funds were collected and committed to the Town Treasurer: Munroe Cemetery Perpetual Care $100.00 Annual Care 47.25 Interments 332.00 Green & Lowering Device 48.00 Foundations 84.50 Miscellaneous receipts 42.20 $653.95 Westview Cemetery Sale of lots $6,966.00 Sale of single graves 387.00 Sale of baby graves 240.00 Perpetual Care 8,274.00 Interments 4,225.00 Green & Lowering Device .. 724.00 Foundations 837.00 Tent 135.00 Saturday burial fee 325.00 Miscellaneous receipts 134.00 $22,247.00 250 PUBLIC SERVICES The Cemetery Commissioners take this opportunity to acknowledge with thanks the assistance and cooperation given to the department by officials of the Town, members of the various departments and the personnel of the Cemetery Department. Respectfully submitted, JOHN C. GRAHAM, Chairman Cemetery Commissioners REPORT OF THE REGISTRAR OF VETERANS' GRAVES December 31, 1964 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington,Massachusetts Gentlemen: Submitted herewith is the annual report of the Registrar of Veterans' Graves for the year 1964. There were twenty five (25) interments of Veterans during the year and these interments have been recorded and affidavits are on file in this office. Flags and wreaths were placed on all Veterans' graves on Memorial Day and services were conducted at all the cemeteries commemorating the occasion. New flags for the forty foot flagpoles in Munroe and Westview Cemeteries were provided by the Veterans' Graves Registrar. Respectfully submitted, MAURICE D. HEALY, Registrar REPORT OF THE CONSERVATION COMMISSION December 31, 1964 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: The Lexington Conservation Commission submits herewith the annual report —its first —for the calendar year 1964. Lexington's Commission was created by the November, 1963 Town Meet- ing, to promote, develop, and conserve Lexington's natural resources, which include its wetlands, woodlands, open lands and wildlife. The Commission operates under statutes of the Commonwealth. One of these statutes enables PUBLIC SERVICES 251 the Town to receive direct financial aid —up to fifty percent —for the acquisition of lands to be preserved as open space. The Commission also deals with the federal authorities who provide financial aid to communities for the purchase of open space. In late January, the Commission held the first of its thirty-three meetings of 1964, and set about its first task: to discover the open space needs of the Town; to index the open spaces and other natural resources available, and plan and implement the means of using the resources to meet the needs. The Commission quickly found that the Town's needs were great. Though Lexington is blessed with a unique rural and historic heritage, most of the open land is privately held and awaiting development. The Commission imme- diately enlisted the aid of the United States Soil Conservation Service, to inventory and analyze the undeveloped land in Town to determine its best use, a project which will soon be completed. It met with many townspeople and Town boards, as well as state and federal agencies, to encourage cooperation and to gain the benefit of the other's ideas, whether on the Great Meadows or the development of swimming holes, or on the Town's future. The Commission feels that it is to Lexington's benefit to continue to set aside open areas to remain in their natural states, which the Commission can preserve permanently. These open areas may be as simple as a woodlot or grassland amid a cluster of houses, or a stream marshland, or a belt of wood- land and field. It was noted that the Planning Board's Phase One Report recommended that the Town set aside several hundred additional acres for conservation /recreation open space in the next few years, to serve the needs of Lexington's anticipated 60% increase in population. The Commission believes the usefulness of these acres would be multiplied by a plan which would connect large islands of open space and recreation land in each section of Town, with one another and with other Town land, by greenbelt pathways. A basic guideline used by the Commission is that it should ask the Town to acquire that and which is more valuable to the Town cr neighborhood if left in its natural state, and thus to insure that it is preserved for public Ibencfit. The Commission may, for the Town, act in several ways to preserve land. It may purchase (with state and /or federal aid) land from willing owners, it may accept charitable gifts of land (tax deductible), and both givers and sellers may be assured that the land will not be diverted to other purposes. Although the Town, for public purposes, has the power of eminent domain, the Commission does not. The Commission need not acquire outright title to the land, but can simply negotiate a pathway or a conservation easement to preserve the land's character, or can negotiate a scenic easement along a roadside; these easements leave the and in private ownership, though possibly with reduced taxes. The Commission can also, as it did this year, turn to conservation education, cooperating with youth groups and schools. 252 PUBLIC SERVICES Meetings of the Commission were attended by representatives of the Land Use Committee of the League of Women Voters (which also kindly pro- vided the services of several women as volunteer secretaries), the Lexington Field and Garden Club, the Audubon Society, the Girl Scouts (who created and installed an informative display concerning the Natural 'Resources In- ventory), Boy Scouts (who planted 500 pine seedlings), and several neighborhood groups. Mr. Bruce Gullion, director of the Division of Conservation Services in the Mass. Department of Natural Resources, was a guest early in the year (he later addressed Lexington's League of Women Voters). Another guest was the chairman of Acton's Commission, 'Mr, R. Ellis. The Commission met jointly with the following Town boards: Selectmen, Planning Board, Capital Expenditures, Assessors, Appropriations, and Recreation. Outside of Lexington, meetings were held with the Middlesex Conservation District and the Minute Man National Historical Park Advisory Commission. Members of the Commission attended four meetings of the Massachusetts Association of Conservation Commissions. One member, 'Mr. 'Ells, who is a specialist on the laws relating to open space, was a panel member at an Association meeting. Members of the Commission also discussed conservation matters with several neighborhood groups at neighborhood meetings, and also with the chairman of the TMMA Land Use Committee, The Planning Board made some recommendations concerning land acquisition. The Board of Appeals was asked that, if possible, action be taken to preserve a dense pine grove adjacent to a proposed nursing home. A speaker was provided, at the request of each of the following organizations, to discuss local conservation matters: Field and Garden Club, 'Rotary Club, and The Grange. During the year, the Selectmen were asked to place articles on warrants for Town Meetings for the following purposes: a. Create a Conservation Fund, per state law, and appropriate money to it; b. Authorize the Commission to deal, on behalf of the Town, with the agencies of the U.S. Government which provide financial aid for the purchase of land; c. Employ the U.S. Soil Conservation Service to conduct a Soils and Water Survey as the basis for a Natural Resources Inventory. d. Purchase 5 acres of and adjacent to Willard's Woods. e. Purchase the 78 acre "Swenson Farm" off Marrett Road, f. Authorize a final definitive study of the use of the "Old Res" on Marrett Road, as a swimming facility (recommended jointly with the Recreation Committee). PUBLIC SERVICES 253 In 1964, major federal and state legislative actions occurred which can have a marked effect on Lexington's open space program. The federal land and water conservation act, and the State act removing the ceiling on State aid, were passed and signed. It appeared that increasing effectiveness was being achieved in the attempts, through legislative action at all levels of government, to preserve and conserve natural resources, including open space. Such action has resulted from rising pressure brought upon legislators by people with an awakened sensitivity to the ugliness which often masquerades as progress, and to the necessity for conservation action. The Commission has noted that extensive coveraoe was given by the mass news media to conservation problems similar to those of Lexington. Radio, television, big city newspapers, and national magazines, in addition to local news media, participated. The mail included such clippings from newspapers, sent by observant and interested citizens; the Commission is grateful for such help. Several articles in the real estate sections of the Boston and New York newspapers emphasized the enlightened developer's recognition that per- manently preserved open space within or next to a development increases the demand for units within that development. The Commission welcomes all citizens at its meetings, and invites sug- gestions from landowners, neighborhood groups, and all others interested. Respectfully submitted, JULES SUSSMAN, Chairman WILLIAM S. RICHEY STEPHEN F. ELLS AIDEN L. RIPLEY FRANCIS W. I<. SMITH PAUL E. MAZERALL, Ex- Officio CARY MEMORIAL LIBRARY REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES December 31, 1964 To the Citizens of Lexington: 255 The Board of Trustees of Cary Memorial Library consists of "the Selectmen and the School Committee of the Town for the time being and the settled ministers of the place", in accordance with the wishes of Maria Cary. This group elects from its membership a President, a Vice - President and three other Trustees to serve as an Executive Committee. The by -laws specify that these five shall include a representative of the clergy, the Selectmen and the School Committee. By its very nature, then, the goveming board of the Library, and particularly the Executive Committee, is subject to frequent turnover in its membership. This year, the Board of Trustees lost Alan G. Adams of the Board of Select- men, who was replaced by George C. Sheldon; and Merrill F. Norlin and Sanborn C. Brown of the School Committee, who were replaced by James F. Fenske and Austin W. Fisher, Jr. The Board of Trustees meets twice a year: in March, when the newly elected members are welcomed, and in October, when officers and Executive Committee are elected at the Annual Meeting. Elected for 1964 -65 were Elizabeth H. Clarke, President; Otis S. Brown, Jr., Vice- President; and Rev. Harold T. Handley, The Rt. Rev. Msgr. George W. Casey and Rabbi Haskell Bernet. Only Msgr. Casey and Rev. Handley have had substantial experience as Trustees of the Library. To make for greater continuity, the by -laws wisely provide for an Advisory Committee of citizens selected for "their demonstrated interest in the problems, goals and aspirations of the Library." In this group there is less turnover. Their accumulated knowledge of Library affairs and continuing devotion make them very valuable as advisors to the Board, and to the Executive Committee at its monthly meetings. The Trustees express their appreciation of Karl Nyren, Director of the Library, not only for his efficient direction of a complex operation, but partic- ularly for his leadership. With the single purpose of serving the cultural needs of the community, he carries on continual assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of the Library, plans for future needs, and sets and maintains high standards to be met in fulfilling those needs. He and his fine professional staff are to be congratulated for their constant attention to ways of improving the Library's services to the Town. 256 CARY MEMORIAL LIBRARY The Trustees acknowledge with gratitude the receipt of several unusual gifts. A contribution of money from the Women's Republican Club of Lexington made possible the purchase of four important volumes pertaining to history and government. An anonymous donor presented the entire John Harvard Library, including about fifty titles. The Kennecott Copper Company has donated' fourteen years' run of Chemical Abstracts, which will greatly enhance the science collection. As a modest cultural center, the Library has continued to display works of art, articles of historical interest, and works by Lexington residents. For their cooperation and generosity in connection with these special exhibits and gifts, the Trustees extend thanks to the following individuals and institutions: Lex- ington Historical Society, Merrimac Valley Museum, Peabody Museum of Salem, Ward -Nasse Gallery, Nexus Gallery, Lexington Art Teachers, Shore Galleries, Rockport Art Association, Doll and Richards, Guild of Boston Artists, Mr. Austin Fisher, Mr. Lloyd Rathbun, Mr. John Olson, Mr. Wayne R. Maguire, Mr. Kelsey Reed, the Friends of Herman Yagoda, Miss Marie Turner and Miss Grace Turner, Mrs. Allan MacFadden, Mr. Bernard Pucker, Mr. George Dergalis, Mr. Philip Parsons, and Mrs. Karl Oberteuffer. The Trustees also wish to extend thanks to the many citizens of Lexington who have responded generously to the Director's requests for advice on many subjects for which their experience qualifies them. These include the selection of books, building maintenance, landscape architecture, insurance and legal questions, and many other areas in which expert counsel was freely given. For the third year, members of the Morning Study Group of the Lexington Field and Garden Club made and contributed Christmas decorations. Two very large wreaths for the lobby and mantel arrangements in the Recent Books Room and the Periodical Room provided an aesthetic atmosphere which was deeply appreciated during the holiday season. Lexington citizens continue to use their public library facilities in ever larger numbers, and activity in all areas continues to rise. The special business collection is in constant use, demand has brought about the establishment of a special collection in the field of science reference, under a specialist in that field; recordings are borrowed both more often and in greater quantity, and a collection of scores is being added to the growing hold- ings in that department; films enjoy wide circulation among individuals and groups; periodicals are in great demand, necessitating the purchase of second copies of the most popular ones. General circulation shows two interesting trends: juvenile borrowing has fallen off, while adult use has risen; and demand among adults is for less fiction and more non - fiction works. Accordingly, emphasis in book acquisition is being placed on the two areas of continuing growth: pre - school books and adult non - fiction. At the East Lexington Branch, where the trends are most notice- able, Emerson Hall is now being used for special programs: play- writing and play- reading for adults, and pre - school story hours. CARY MEMORIAL LIBRARY 257 Circulation policies were revised and published this year, in an effort to improve service and make holdings more readily available for circulation. Greater activity in the area of inter - library loans has been made possible by the decision to participate in the Eastern Regional Library System. Under the service agreement, Lexington can turn to the collections in the Boston Public Library, as the Regional Library Center, and other participants can turn to the special collections in Lexington. The Advisory Committee has undertaken two studies on behalf of the Trustees, both looking ahead to the future. One concerns long -range plans for building needs, to house the enlarging collections and expanding services. The other, to be completed in the spring of 1965, concerns development of a more realistic salary structure, to improve the Library's competitive position with respect to professional employees in the top administrative positions. The Trustees look ahead to continued strong support from the people of Lexington, whom they serve. SELECTMEN *Otis S. Brown, Jr. Levi G. Burnell Robert Cataldo Lincoln P. Cole, Jr. George C.

McDonnell Custodian Frank Langone Assistant Custodian REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR December 31, 1964 To the Trustees of the Cary Memorial Library: In the year just concluded, the Library has shown a healthy growth and has continued to respond to the changing and growing needs of the Town. Reading patterns show an ever- stronger trend toward adult use of all library facilities and increasing demand for serious non - fiction and reference materials. The library staff has been brought nearly back to strength by the addition of three reference librarians, making it possible to fulfill the many functions of this department. Circulation has increased steadily throughout the year and can be expected to continue to do so for the foreseeable future. A strong increase in the number of books reserved and requested on interlibrary loan has added considerably to the work of the circulation department. CARY MEMORIAL LIBRARY 259 The East Lexington Branch Library has been covered with aluminum siding, and all exterior trim has been painted. Repainting of the interior has brought the building back much of its original attractiveness. Recataloging of the collection has proceeded satisfactorily through the year, with a good possibility that the majority of the older books will be recataloged and reshelved by the end of the year, and the annual State Aid grant can be applied in 1966 to some other pressing project. One such project is the expansion of our periodical resources by means of microfilm. At present, only a fraction of the large demand for back issues of periodicals can be met. The Reference Department has strengthened its resources in Science and Technology in this last year, sizable help coming in the form of gifts. The Advisory Committee of the Board of Trustees has undertaken a salary study, with its recommendations to form the basis of any future changes in administrative and professional salaries. Expansion of facilities through a building addition has been discussed as a real possibility in five to ten years' time. The Director wishes to express his appreciation of the continuous efforts made by the Board of Trustees, the Advisory Committee and the entire staff in bringing the library through another successful year.

HANDLEY HOLIDAY OBSERVANCES REPORT OF THE TOWN CELEBRATIONS COMMITTEE December 31, 1964 To the Honorable Board of Selectmen Lexington, Massachusetts Gentlemen: 265 During 1964 the Committee met twenty -five times to plan and coordinate celebrations of four holidays. Those holidays were the usual Patriots' Day and U. N. Day and, for the first time, Memorial Day and Veterans' Day. Repre- sentatives of the town's civic and military organizations met with us eleven times. Their continued help and cooperation is not only sincerely appreciated by this Committee, but vital to the success of our activities and the town's celebrations. Patriots' Day April 19th came on Sunday in 1964, so we held our major celebrations on Monday, April 20th. A search of reports of earlier similar instances and the opinions of Lexington's clergymen influenced our decision. So that the day it- self would not go unnoticed, we arranged a Sunday aftemoon program for the Battle Green. Wakefield's Linn Village Drum Band gave two performances and the elementary school children accompanied by the Senior High School Band again sang patriotic songs. Sunday's warm sunny weather deserted us on Monday. After the 6:30 a.m. ringing of church bells and the bell in "The Old Belfry", the sunrise parade stepped off at 7:00 a.m. in cold raw air. We were quite proud of our Corre- sponding Secretary, Mrs. Eleanor Litchfield, who received the Lions Club White Tricorn Hat Award at the Battle Green ceremonies. Immediately following the parade the Rotary Club sponsored a pancake breakfast after the Battle Green ceremonies in the Great Hall of the Church of Our Redeemer on Meriam Street. The Lions Club continued their road race activities. Memorial ceremonies by the DAR and Minute Men completed the morning program which was dampened at times by light snow flurries. Her Majesty's Consul General, H.N.O. Curie, again visited us to remember the British soldiers with the Minute Men and to ride in and watch our afternoon parade. Kingston L. Howard, a past chairman of this Committee, led the afternoon parade as its Chief Marshal. The "Spirit of 1776" represented by Douglas Maxner, drummer; William Mahoney, fifer; and Stephen Shaw, drummer; an- nounced the coming of the parade along its customary route from East Lexing- ton past the Battle Green reviewing stand to Worthen Road. A motorcade car- 266 HOLIDAY OBSERVANCES rying the town's distinguished guests for the day preceded the parade to the reviewing stand. The number of floats in the parade and the number of res- idences participating in the Jaycee's House decorating contest continue to in- dicate increasing interest in both aspects of our program. Memorial Day This Committee assisted the military groups of Lexington with their plan- ning and execution of the town's Memorial Day celebration. Members of the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Marine Corps League, and the Lexington Minute Men visited Westview Cemetery, by bus, for brief memorial services led by Fr. Perry of Sacred Heart Church. After their return to Munroe School, they joined the High School Band and other units for a parade up Mass- achusetts Avenue. The parade made stops at :Munroe Cemetery, Cary Hall, Buckman Tavern, The Old Burying Ground, and the Battle Green. The Rev. Harold Handley conducted memorial services for the war dead, buried or com- memorated at the several locations, and Girl Scouts placed memorial wreaths. John Bonesara, Commander of Post 38, American Legion, served as Chief Mar- shal of the parade and Brigadier General William F. McGonagle was the main speaker at the Battle Green. Mr. George Foster conducted SAR memorial serv- ices at Munroe Cemetery. United Nations Day Because October 24th carne on Saturday this year, our celebration covered two days. On Friday, the students of Harrington School presented a U.N. pro- gram for their parents and other guests. Following their well done presenta- tions of songs, skits, and choral recitations appropriate to the day, they adjourned to the front lawn of the school. Jeffrey Oppenheim and Coralee VanEgmond president and secretary, respectively, of the student body planted a blue spruce U.N. tree provided by the Lexington Jaycees. The U.N. flag raising ceremony, usually held at 7:00 a.m, on U.N. Day took place at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, October 24th. The later hour was picked to provide additional opportunity for the residents of the town to take part. The U.N. flag is raised with our national colors on the Battle Green pole and U.N. flags alternate with American flags around the Battle Green. During the week preceding U.N. Day, retail merchants displayed U.N. post- ers. Veterans' Day The American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Marine Corps League, and the Lexington Minute Men were joined by the High School Band, an Air Force marching unit from Hanscom Field, and a battery from the Third Rocket Bat- talion, 101st Artillery, MNG, for a parade that stepped off at 10:00 a.m. from Munroe School. Edward Fitzgerald, Commander, Post 3007, Veterans of Foreign Wars, was Chief Marshal cf the parade. Major General John W. McNeill, Com- HOLIDAY OBSERVANCES 267 mander Electronics Systems Division, Air Force Systems Command gave the principal address on the Battle Green following the parade. General Although the Committee assisted the towns' military groups, those groups planned and arranged for the celebrations of both Memorial Day and Veterans Day. We have enjoyed their cooperation and look forward to working with them for Memorial Day and Veterans Day in the coming years. Respectfully submitted, ELEANOR B.

EATON, Chairman 293 HANSCOM -1964 Nineteen - hundred- sixty -four at Hanscom was a year of progress and achievement in support of the Nation's command, control, and communications requ i rements. Among the milestones of 1964 were . . . . . the addition of a revolutionary phased -array radar to the expanding list of Spacetrack sensors. . . . achievement of operational status of an Air Weapons Control System for NATO forces in Europe. . extension of Department of Defense world -wide communications. . excavation of tons of granite from inside Cheyenne Mountain, Colo- rado, in preparation for housing the hardened NORAD Combat Operations Center. . the dedication of the world's most sensitive radar -radio telescope on Haystack Hill in neighboring Tyngsboro. . the development of an electronic burglar alarm system for protection of ballistic missile sites in the United States. . a Nuclear Detonation Detection and Reporting System which utilizes electromagnetic, optical and seismic sensors. . in the personnel field, on 15 July Major General John W. O'Neill succeeded Major General Charles H. Terhune, Jr., as Commander of ESD. An indication of the size and complexity of ESD's responsibilities is that the Deputy for Communications is monitoring the development, acquisition and installation of over 450 separate communications sites. These sites, located in Europe, the Mediterranean area, the Arctic, and the tropics, emphasize the global nature of our responsibilities. The Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories, responsible for conducting basic and applied research in the physical and environmental sciences made significant progress in several areas of basic research . . . . 294 HANSCOM — 1964 . the Arecigo (Puerto Rico) radar -radio telescope went on the air in March 1964. The telescope is the largest and most powerful of its kind in the world. . . as primary Air Force agency for participation in the cooperative International Year of the Quiet Sun (1964 -65), extensive studies of the effects of the sun on the earth's environment will be conducted. . • . a new major program of space forecasting was begun; the program goal is the prediction of conditions likely to be encountered in space, . . and in the personnel area, Colonel Leo A. Kiley succeeded Brigadier General B. G. Holzman as Commander of AFCRL on October 27. The MIT Lincoln Laboratories, the 94th (Minute man) Troop Carrier Wing, The MITRE Corporation, System Development Corporation and over thirty other organizations located on or adjacent to Hanscom likewise had important defense jobs to do during 1964. More than 8,000 military and civilian personnel, directly or indirectly, contributed to the successful accomplishment of these tasks. The Hanscom Complex budget, largest in history, was nearly $600 million, and the value of fixed capital assets rose to more than $72 million. The significant achievements of the Hanscom Complex in 1964 added immeasurably to the defense posture of the free world. 295 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT THE LEXINGTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS — 1964 School Committee Organization MR.

Norlin, who had resigned from the school committee in December, 1963 for reasons of ill health. Chairman Brown read into the minutes of January 6, 1964, the following statement: The most important single decision which any school corn - mittee makes is the choice of a superintendent of schools. This is a long and tiring procedure, even when one is full of health and vigor. Every member of this school committee will always remember Merrill Norlin's devotion to the welfare of education in Lexington as, with failing health, he arranged his entire schedule so that he could attend every interview and be present at every decision. He delayed going back to the hospital for his final operation so that he could take part in the unanimous vote to call Dr. Fobert to Lexington. It is seldom that we have the privilege of witnessing such true devotion to one's ideals and it will remain an inspiration to all of us who strive to work for the public good. Dr. Sanborn C. Brown left the committee as of the first meeting in March. He served for six years, the last three as chairman. The committee presented him with a model set of balance scales, symbolizing his strict adherence to justice in the conduct of meetings. The audience joined the applause in ap- preciation of Dr. Brown's service to Lexington. Dr. Rudolph J. Fobert took office on the first of February. His fine per- formance during the first year as our educational leader promises ever higher standards and greater achievement in Lexington's public schools. Nineteeen sixty -four has been a year of thoughtful analysis, of re- stating convictions of the committee and putting them into writing. Policies and pro- cedures have been subjected to careful scrutiny and, under Dr. Fobert's leader- ship, have been revised, renovated, or reaffirmed. "Rules and Regulations of the Lexington School Committee" is being care- fully revised. This document will set forth the operating procedures of the committee and delineate the roles of all people associated with the schools. The "Personnel Policies Guide," too, has undergone changes, particularly with respect to administrative personnel, and further changes are in progress. The guide contains salary schedules and sets forth all personnel policies gov- erning the school staff. 298 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT Recruiting procedures have been published in handbook form. An instru- ment for evaluating teacher performance has been devised and put into oper- ation. Summer curriculum workshops, sabbatical leaves, and participation in professional organizations have been encouraged as stimulants to professional advancement and development of professional morale among our staff. As a further indication of the value placed upon superior teachers, and to meet competition generated by the new state minimum salary of $5,000, the teachers salary guide has been adjusted upward. The new schedule was worked out by a joint salary committee made up of the superintendent, three school committee members, three teachers, and one member of the Town Appropria- tions Committee. We are proud of this fine cooperative effort. The educational specifications for the next two elementary schools record the committee's convictions about school buildings and their relationship to the programs to be carried out in them. They provide for housing about 600 pupils each, in classroom areas of several sizes, to make possible a variety of groupings. They require a large central area to house a library resource center, workrooms for teachers, and study- cafeteria, all in close proximity for optimum use. They provide for future kindergartens, and rooms for two special classes, so that these children can go to school in their own districts. Such specifications reflect school committee policies regarding both facilities and educational programs. The decision to install our own electronic data processing center has far - reaching implications for improving education in Lexington. It will perform routine tasks such as scheduling and record - keeping more quickly and effi- ciently, releasing teachers and principals from tedious, non - educational chores. More information about individual pupils will be available for use in guidance counseling and administrative decisions. System -wide surveys on all sorts of subjects will be possible, opening up educational opportunities in many areas. It will bring about better communications between school and citizens through more frequent and more complete reporting. The center will also be available as a vocational training facility for students at the high school. Underlying these policy considerations is the fundamental GOAL of the Lexington school system: the education of our children as future citizens, able to think for themselves, sift fact from fiction, form opinions, make decisions based upon reason, and to do these things with confidence and a strong sense of responsibility toward society. At the same time, all pupils must share a common body of basic knowledge — reading, writing and arithmetic —in order that they may communicate with one another as they work together in a democratic society. To seek out and develop the potential of every child suggests a strong ele- ment of flexibility. To provide continuity and comparable education in all our schools requires stabillity. In all its deliberations and decisions, the school com- mittee strives to keep these two elements in balance. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 299 Stablilizing forces which have received special attention this year include curriculum guides, report card procedures, administrative organization, school - community relations, and school libraries. Goals for each major subject area — language arts, social studies, math, and science —are now governed by curriculum guides. Each guide sets forth the scope and sequence of coverage from the first grade through the twelfth grade, goals to be achieved at each level, and suggestions for units to achieve the goals. Developed in workshops by members of Lexington's own teaching staff, these guides will be used throughout the system. Reporting procedure has been standardized in the elementary schools to the extent that the progress of every child will be discussed twice each year in a parent- teacher conference. Toward establishing more direct lines of communication between teachers and superintendent, and between schools, the central office staff has been re- organized on a more rational basis. New job descriptions for the following posi- tions have been written and incorporated into a revised !Personnel Policies Guide: Assistant Superintendent (Elementary) Assistant Superintendent (Secondary) Administrative Assistant (Business Services) Director of Pupil Personnel Services Director of School Information Coordinator of Instructional Materials By establishing the full -time position of Director of School Information, the committee has recognized the great importance of continuous, frequent, and full communication between the school department and the citizens. The new director will provide information and foster cooperative activities through all media and techniques at his disposal, in order to promote full understand- ing of the programs, progress and needs of the school system, and to promote mutual responsibility between school department and citizens for the achieve- ment of educational goals. A fine statement of these purposes is contained in a document entitled "CREDO - Lexington School Information Program." By changing the position of Coordinator of Libraries to Coordinator of Instructional Materials, the committee recognizes the concept of the resource center in each school. Not only a collection of books, this center encompasses all instructional materials, such as visual and au'al aids, as well as spaces for their preparation and use by staff and pupils. Space limitations prevent the development of such a resource center in many of our older school buildings, Every school does have, however, a library, however small, and every child is being trained in the use of the library as a tool in the learning process. The committee believes that the re- alignment of responsibilities among the central office staff will bring about more unity and greater stability in the system. 300 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT Flexibility is achieved through granting maximum independence to the professional staff. While working together as a "cabinet" and coordinating their activities, all principals are largely autonomous in their own buildings. They have considerable freedom to group and re -group children and teachers, and to arrange schedules, in whatever ways they think will best serve the edu- cational needs of the children in their charge. Teachers, too, are encouraged to be creative in their choice of materials and teaching techniques, and to work together in developing new ideas. How effectively this independence is used plays an important role in the evaluation of both teachers and administrators. Neither flexibility nor stability is served by unequal physical facilities. Flexibility is impossible when too many children are crowded into a building and there are no spaces for small or large group activities. Stability through- out the system is impossible when school buildings do not offer similar facilities. In order to hasten the day when our educational programs can be carried out uniformly throughout Lexington, the school committee has stepped up its proposed building schedule. After re- examination of enrollment projections and population distribution, we have requested additional school sites where they will be needed, and we have approved the following school building completion dates: 1966 — Middleby school (23 rooms) 1967 — Moreland school (23 rooms) 1969 — third elementary school 1971 — Junior High School (1200 pupils) Execution of this plan will enable us to keep pace with space needs, rather than continually running behind them, and bring us closer to the realization of true equality of educational opportunity in Lexington. Respectful ly submitted, ALFRED L. VIAND, Chairman ELIZABETH H. CLARKE, Secretary JAMES F. FENSKE AUSTIN W. FISHER, JR. VERNON C. PAGE SCHOOL DEPARTMENT REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS Introduction 301 The following information on the status of the Lexington Public Schools for 1964 is respectfully submitted as my first annual report. As noted in the preceding pages of the school committee report, this has been a year of critical appraisal of the procedures and programs of the Lexing- ton Public Schools. In several instances this appraisal has led to a re- definition or revision of existing programs; in other instances to a development of new programs and procedures. One of my primary objectives was to identify the shape and character of the diffusive enterprise known as the Lexington Pubilc Schools. Through a sampling of the experiences which spin off the day - to-day operation of the en- terprise, it was possible to develop a preliminary description of the nature and climate of our schools. My assessment of this climate is that it is both generative and adaptive. Its generative quality is a result of the thrust of classroom teachers searching for more effective ways of teaching children. Its adaptive quailty is a result of a general staff attitude that problems which prevent optimum learning by each child can be identified and solved and that the shape of the enterprise will be adapted accordingly. It is important that we encourage this climate throughout Lexington for it produces a greater output of staff effort than any known administrative device. However, it is equally important that we channel this energy and output toward common goals for all schools. The fusion of our schools into one system must be accomplished without depriving the individual principal and staff of the freedom to operate in a semi - autonomous fashion. We must strive to achieve a balance between (1) permitting each school to operate with its own organizational pattern, thus en- couraging each principal and staff member to explore more effective ways of teaching children (generative quality), and (2) providing a structure for all schools within which each child in Lexington is assured of a continuous vertical educational program, logically developed for easy articulation from one level to the next. This structure would also permit all schools to move in concert toward the common goals of the Lexington Schools. We have made some strides toward providing this structure by defining and expanding our recruitment and selection program, organizing a pre - school orientation program for new teachers, establishing a systemwide testing pro- gram, providing a clearing house for research projects and outlining a con- ceptual framework for curriculum development. Other related projects are in committee and should be completed during the next year. This annual report is designed to provide citizens with a description of 302 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT some of the significant school activities during 1964.

Woodward edited all the reports and assisted me in organizing this document Working Together Toward Common Goals One of the first tasks of a new superintendent is to develop with the school committee and staff a set of policies which identify and define the responsibil- ities and functions of the school committee, the superintendent and other mem- bers of the professional staff. No set of policies can anticipate all of the situations which develop when human beings interact while performing their duties. However, policies do serve as guidelines for individuals within the enterprise and outline in broad terms who shall be responsible for the various functions required to achieve the goals adopted by the school committee. It is imperative that policies are not regarded as static but are constantly expanded and adapted to meet new problems which are generated by a grow- ing and progressive school system. To provide a conceptual description of the above the school committee adopted the following chart which outlines the various responsibilities. The horizontal line through the center delineates the areas of responsibilities for the school committee and professional staff. The school committee, as the policy- making agency, is responsible for adopt- ing the goals and policies and requiring periodic progress reports to determine the extent to which the goals are being achieved. The superintendent and staff are responsible for designing and implementing the programs which will achieve these goals. When product reports reveal that goals have not been achieved, the goals, policies, regulations, programs, etc, must be critically re- examined and adapted accordingly.

"Chapter I, Section 1I1 — School Committee Action A. Functions of the Committee — The school committee shall adopt all policies and make all policy decisions; it shall not perform administrative functions. Every member shall sup- port the policies and actions which have been voted by the school committee. B. Unit Action — All action shall be by the committee as a unit. Legally, the committee has no existence outside of its meet- ing. It exists only as a unit, and cannot evade its responsi- bilities or give away its powers. Likewise, the individual member has authority only when the committee is in ses- sion, and never as an individual outside of school committee meetings." "Chapter 1'I, Section 1 — General Duties — The superintendent is by law the executive officer of the school committee. He shall administer the schools in conformity with school 304 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT committee policies and state law, He shall provide educa- tional leadership to the professional staff and the community. He shall have final administrative authority and be re- sponsible to the school committee for all matters." In the work sessions following school committee meetings the superin- tendent and the school committee have completed a statement of responsibil- ities for the principal and plan to develop statements for the teachers and pupils before the end of this school year Providing a Framework for Curriculum Development Curriculum development has been one of the most significant activities in the Lexington schools. It provides a vehicle for moving toward our goal of stability. Stability is, in part, achieved through a curriculum desgin which out- lines the objectives for each subject area from grades one through twelve for all Lexington schools. It is also achieved through a definition of the entire process from the development stage to the final payoff in teacher and pupil growth. The Con- ceptual Framework for Curriculum Development described in the chart (p. 305) includes all of the stages related to this area. It also contains the philosophy and machinery for development and adoption of curriculum in Lexington. The definition of the philosophy, objectives, procedures and responsibilities permits each staff member to relate his individual efforts to the general opera- tion of the entire school system, and to identify with a larger enterprise and purpose than his classroom group. It also assists the administration in identify- ing those activities which are used to implement this program. A critical eval- uation of the various parts of this program should lead to a fuller utilization of all of the present vehicles and activities and also generate ideas about new media and activities which are not included in the present program. Providing School Facilities In November, 1964, the town voted funds for the construction of two additional elementary schools to be completed in 1966 and 1967. This vote culminated many hours of discussion and study by the members of the Stand- ing School Building Committee, Appropriations Committee, Capital Expenditures Committee, School Sites Committee, the Board of Selectmen, and the School Committee. The joint meetings of these committees provided a forum for a comprehen- sive discussion of all facets of the proposed school buildings. This intercom- munication and cooperative study helped each committee to better understand the rationale for decisions reached by the committees. If we are to meet the need for future school facilities, additional joint meetings must be arranged.

In September, 1968, the ele- mentary schools will again be over - capacity and an additional elementary school is planned for 1969. Unfortunately, in the past this pattern of scheduling has forced the school committee to subject children to a variety of emergency conditions, including converting gymnasiums into classrooms, dislocating many childfren from their regular school pattern and using substandard spaces. This position of opening a new building only when it can be filled to capacity has been labeled "moving from crisis to crisis." During rapid periods of enrollment increases the difference between this position and that of allowing enough rooms for pupils to grow into a district over a period of several years is not one of total expenditure but the rate of expenditure. Although we appreciate the Appropriations and Capital Expend- itures Committees problems of balancing needs and scheduling town building capital expenditures over a period of years, a shift to the latter position is needed to maintain a well organized and developed school program. In addition to an elementary school in 1969 there is a need for a junior high school in 1970 or 1971. At present this school is scheduled for 1971. However, this past year enrollment increases for grades seven through nine were greater than the total increase of the previous three -year period. If sim- ilar increases are experienced in 1965, adjustments must be made in the scheduling of this school. Your superintendent has recommended that the capacity of the proposed junior high school be set at 1200 pupils. Although in 1971 this will result in an excess of approximately 400 pupil spaces in grades seven through nine, and 600 pupil spaces in grades ten through twelve, by 1974 these excesses will be reduced to 200 and 350. Renovations to improve facilities at Muzzey will probably reduce the capacity of this school and fur- ther reduce the 200 pupil excess space for grades seven through nine. Since each unit at the high school accommodates approximately 300 students, it will not be possible in 1975 or 1976 to house ninth graders at this building unless some ninth grade pupils are housed with tenth graders within one of the units. If building costs continue to increase, it would be prudent for the town to build a junior high school for 1200 pupils. It is imperative that enrollment projections be revised annually to reflect changes in the growth pattern and that the building schedule be adapted to meet revised needs for school facilities. To assist the School Sites Committee in identifying the number of sites which will be needed in the future, estimates of the total possible school en- rollment were computed. These estimates were based on the total number of dwelling units possible at land saturation. These estimates indicate that from 1967 to saturation there is a possible additional need for eight elementary schools and two junior high schools. CHARITIES AND BENEFITS 307 In forecasting the need for additional school sites, it is wise to use maximum possible enrollment at saturation, A building program proceeds according to the need for schools indicated by the five -year enrollment projection rather than the number of sites available. As Lexington's population increases and and availability decreases, it will become increasingly difficult to secure additional school sites. It is important that we begin now to acquire enough sites for the school buildings which will be needed at land saturation. 308 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT INFORMING THE CITIZENS In recent years school committees and superintendents have become in- creasingly aware of their responsibility to continually provide citizens with information about the goals, programs and needs of their schools. Each citizen has a very important stake in the public schools within his community. No other institution is offered the most receptive learning years of a child's life. Superintendents have an obligation to help the public understand how these precious years are being used. The adoption of a formal school information program with a full -time director will result in an increase in the flow of school information to the public. The following statements from the credo of this program describe our com- mitment to this important activity: WE BELIEVE THAT: 1. One of the major purposes of the school information program is to raise the level of public understanding about the schools. Public education is a creature of the public and requires public support to improve its educational offerings. 2. Laymen have the capacity to understand educational problems and have the good judgment, when fully informed, to come to conclu- sions which will be in the best interests of the children. 3. Information about the schools should help the public to identify and understand efforts to solve these problems. 4. The welfare of children should be the focus of the program. A good program is concerned with the optimum development of all children in all schools. We shall use every available media and technique to keep citizens informed about their schools. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 309 SECURING THE BEST POSSIBLE STAFF "In 9096 of the homes of America the teacher is the school." The above, taken from a recent publication, indicates the importance of teachers in the public schools of America. One authority has stated that "there is no shortage of teachers," but that "there is a shortage of competent teachers." Since the selection of personnel is the most important single function of educational administration, Lexington gives this far more important consideration than typically obtained in most school systems. During the past year Lexington's recruitment and selection procedures have been defined, revised and expanded. A recently published booklet describes these procedures, and contains samples of the various forms used in the process. The mechanics and materials are impressive, but even more important is the quality of professional judgment which is applied at each level of the selection process. Many people play an important role in ensuring that Lexington finds, secures, and retains the most competent teachers available. Once a vacancy has been identified, information is now circulated to nearly 300 colleges and placement offices throughout the United States, whereas up to a year ago Lexington sent information to approximately 50 placement offices. In order to obtain wider geographic coverage, considerable time and effort has been spent to secure information about outstanding colleges, universities and placement offices throughout the country. They receive, periodically, information about our needs along with other pertinent information about the Lexington Public Schools. This includes brochures, salary guides, and notices of vacancies or special needs. The following "Recruitment and Selection Procedures," indicate the steps in the process of finding the best teachers for Lexington students. The carefully planned process and the opportunity for many people to be involved assures, as far as possible, that the final decision is a reliable one. Recruitment and Selection Procedures 1.

Letter to candidate elected after signed contract rec'd., congratulations, info., etc. X X X X X X X X X From the time a person asks for an application blank until he is elected and placed in a school many people have had a hand in insuring that courtesy is extended, care is taken, and each applicant treated as a potential teacher for Lexington. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 311 Once an application has been received, references are requested if, in the opinion of the administration, the applicant warrants this kind of attention. If not, a carefully written form letter is sent indicating that this person's application will be kept on file for later reference. Because of the excellent reputation of the Lexington Schools, well over 2100 applications were processed• last year in the search for 104 teacher replacements and additions. With this ratio of over 20 applicants for each position available, there is every hope that Lexington will get its share of those outstanding teachers coming out of the various teacher training and liberal arts colleges throughout our country. While many unsolicited applications are received, past experience shows that members of Lexington's professional staff have been highly successful in attracting the kinds of teachers desired, During the past year a teacher from California and one from Germany were secured because two former Lexington teachers were teaching in those areas and recommended Lexington. This illustration, which could be multiplied many times over, shows the importance of securing experienced personnel, and how important it is that, even after teachers leave, they remember Lexington with a very warm feeling about their experiences here. The administration and the regular staff can influence this kind of an image of Lexington, but the community itself plays a large role in attracting outstanding teachers. The fact that many of Lexington's programs are considered superior, nationally as well as regionally, has an effect on recruitment of personnel. At national meetings Lexington is frequently mentioned as a place that is doing something significant and which has a very fine school system. This has been due in large measure to the forward locking policies of the school committee, administrative leadership, and competency in the classroom. This thrust is important to maintain and should be guarded jealously. Once lost it is difficult to regain. In addition to the efforts of our own staff in locating teachers, parents living in Lexington or former residents of the community have also been helpful in recommending teachers for consideration. Added to this group are professors at many institutions where Lexington teachers are studying. These professors, recognizing the quality of Lexington's teaching staff and educational programs, frequently attempt to influence prospective teachers to consider Lexington as an ideal place in which to teach. The first step in the selection process, after receiving favorable references, is a personal interview. At the time that candidates have their first interview they are taken to one or more schools to meet principals and teachers. Following this interview an attempt is made to observe a teacher in the classroom. This takes time, effort and money. It is important that this person be seen in action to observe how he relates with children. Some idea must be gained of how this person will work in the Lexington school system. Accordingly, administrators, 312 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT department heads, and assistant principals travel thousands of miles during the year in order to see these people at work. At the center of our school system is the inter - action of student and teacher. Every effort is made to insure that only those people who have outstanding characteristics and qualifications are brought to the attention of the superin- tendent for consideration by him and then for final selection by the school committee. This attempt to screen carefully, to get all possible references, to insure that the interview is carried on well, and to acquaint the person with Lexington is most important. Omission of any one of these steps could weaken Lexington's recruitment program. The two assistant superintendents of schools traveled to the mid -west last year through. Ohio, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and Michigan to meet college place- ment officers, and to talk personally about the opportunities for teachers and administrators in Lexington. They were well received and many people were glad to have the first hand opportunity to find out more about the Lexington school system. By the time this report is in print these same two will have traveled to Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, and Indiana in their search for creative and talented teachers. As an indication of the wide geographic area from which teachers are being attracted, the map on p. 313, prepared from a study of teachers new to Lex- ington in September of 1964, shows the coverage by states. The numbers indicate a degree granted to one of these teachers from a school within that state. These trips pay off directly and indirectly in securing outstanding people. Not only are colleges and universities through the and -west contacted, but locally every major institution is covered by one or two administrators. In addition, such well -known eastern schools as the University of Vermont, University of Maine, Middlebury College, Brown University, Skidmore College, Providence College, University of Rhode Island, Yale University, Harvard University, Tufts University, Wesleyan University, University of New Hampshire, Dartmouth Col- lege and the University of Pennsylvania are also visited or contacted. Administrators go to these places, get to know the placement officers, and in turn let them know the kind of teacher in whom Lexington is interested. Because of these fine personal relationships established over the past years, placement directors have a fine image of the kind of candidates Lexington seeks. They are then in a position to recommend only those people they feel would' fit into this system and who would be happy and successful here. This part of the screening process goes on year after year. The investment for recruiting and selecting made by Lexington in one year, represented by the $44,000 bar on the graph on p. 314, consists of professional and secretarial salaries, travel materials, brochures, etc. This represents a very small percentage of the 1964 -65 salaries of teachers new to Lexington in September, 1964 ($620,000). Compared with the total salaries for these same teachers over a six -year period, this is indeed a worthwhile investment. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 313 RECRUITING EXPENSE VS. SALARIES OF TEACHERS RECRUITED 314 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 315 For every teacher hired for the Lexington schools a decision is made which could amount to over $300,000 in salary, assuming this one teacher stays 35 years and the teacher salary guide does not change. This one teacher can also have contact with as many as 3500 students over this period of time The influence a teacher has on boys and girls demands a process which secures and retains nothing less than the best staff available. By the time a candidate is finally brought to the attention of the superin- tendent of schools for his consideration, many people have been involved including principals, department heads, assistant principals, secretaries, recep- tionists, and building chairmen. These, along with the administrative staff, have the responsibility of meeting personnel, handling telephone calls, correspond- ence, and personal interviews with care, tact, and courtesy. Even though many of those interviewed will not secure positions in Lexing- ton, each is treated in such a manner that he leaves with the impression that this is still a fine school system even though he was not selected. These, then, form another large group of people who carry away a fine impression of Lexington. At the school committee meetings when the superintendent makes his final recommendation of candidates, the community is assured that a careful process of recruitment and selection, with many staff members making professional judgments on each candidate, provides the committee with all the basic informa- tion it needs to act on the recommendation of the superintendent of schools. Through these procedures and through the care that goes into the recruit- ment process, Lexington attempts to secure the best possible staff for the children in its schools. 316 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT DEVELOPING BASIC SKILLS AND RICH LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES A. Language Arts During the summer of 1964, the Language Arts Curriculum Committee completed a Language Arts guide for the Lexington Public Schools which is unique for at least two reasons. It is based on the belief that an effective program should develop the individual's understanding of what language is, foster his appreciation of its aesthetic qualities and enable him to communicate effectively his own ideas and feelings as well as to evaluate those of others. Its format provides a structure, and at the same time the flexibility necessary to promote creativity on the part of students and teachers. The guide consists of three volumes that supplement each other in describ- ing the arrangement of the curriculum. The Goals and Sequences volume . provides sets of common goals for developing in students in grades one through twelve knowledge, appreciation, and skill in use of the English language. The Manual for Form and Style describes standard acceptable usage for Lexington. This volume is a reference to be used by all teachers in grades one through twelve. Resource Units, that is, collections of suggested teaching and learning experiences organized around a selected topic or area, arc provided for the varying grade levels. The guide is quite adaptable to the needs of both classes and individuals at all levels, for each teacher can observe from the charts in Goals and Sequences the stage of advancement of a given class, then select from the Resource Units appropriate materials for making teaching units that will assure sound learning. This provision for flexibility is indeed important in the upper grades, because students diverge more and more in stage of achievement and in interests as they progress through the school. During the last hundred and fifty years linguists, the scientists of language, have determined facts about the structure and operation of the English language that students will find useful as they develop the ability to listen, speak, read and write effectively. In the Lexington Language Arts program teachers use the knowledge of the facts determined by the linguists to plan lessons that will help the students discover the principles upon which the set of approved conventions are developed for the standard use of their language. One sees first or second grade children carrying things to school to "show" and "tell" others. Standards for courteous listening are developed by the group and children gain confidence in speaking. Another activity carried on by these younger children is the development of a "News of the Day," chart. The teacher writes the sentences given on either a chalkboard or large chart paper. Children copy the "news." Here children begin to discover the relationship between oral and written forms. They discover that sentences begin with capital letters and end with periods. Later, after much practice, charts with rules for capitalization and punctuation are begun. These charts are expanded throughout the years to be used by the children to proof -read their own written work. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 317 Learning to read is a complex and lifelong process. The child's desire to read is increased as he sees labels on furniture, words describing color, the names of days of the week written, filmstrip or television captions. It is at this point of interest that children in Lexington begin to learn how to identify words. They learn to recognize and write first the letters of the alphabet, then conso- nants, blends, vowels, phonograms and diagraphs. They build new word's from known words by discovering patterns within the words. As children leam to recognize words, they must also be aware that these words have meaning as they are put into sentence patterns. The children identify the sequence of ideas, make generalizations, or follow directions as they read. Children begin to use the picture dictionary to help them spell words needed' to express their ideas in writing as soon as they know the alphabet well enough to discover the concept of alphabetical arrangement of words. Later they learn to use a dictionary to find the meaning of a new word, to choose a synonym . for a word, to find standard pronunciation, or to be sure of standard syllabication when they need to divide a word. Using the library, or resource center, is, also, an important part of the language arts curriculum. Here children learn to use available resources to give them information needed to develop their ideas. First and second grade children hear the librarian tell a story and share the pictures in a book. They are helped to select books they can read and enjoy. Older children are taught to use such library tools as the card catalog, the encyclopedia, and the guide to periodicals and magazines. They learn how the Dewey Decimal Classification of books helps them locate books easily. Skill in taking notes is developed as children use resources in the library to get background information for their oral and written expression. Appreciation of good literature is an important part of the language arts curriculum. The Language Arts Study Guide includes an annotated list of books to be read aloud and discussed with children at each grade level in the elemen- tary school. Included, also, is a list of the books available in sets for class study in the secondary schools. The lists are intended to enlarge rather than restrict the student's reading. Although the primary emphasis in the Language Arts Curriculum in the elementary school is on giving children opportunities to read, listen, observe, think, and communicate their thoughts to others, children are introduced to the principles governing the operation of their language. They discover the need for two classes of words, or the binary concept of sentence structure. In the elementary school, children are helped to discover four basic sentence patterns and the four form classes, i.e., noun, verb, adjective, adverb. These under- standings will be strengthened by further practice in the secondary schools before students are led to the discovery of ways the ideas in sentences may be expanded. As a part of the language arts curriculum a systematic program of spelling patterns has been developed to supplement other instruction in spelling in the Lexington Schools. Handwriting, too, is regarded as a skill essential to the 318 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT language arts. The Rinehart system of handwriting is used in all Lexington schools. Consultants from the Rinehart Company work with Lexington's teachers and evaluate sets of written products from each school every month, Teachers use the evaluation to plan instruction that will lead the children to improve their handwriting. A curriculum must be interpreted in terms of the opportunities it provides for each child to grow, to develop understanding and skill, and to increase his desire to learn. Lexington children will not all be at the same place in their development of understanding and skill in using the English language when they leave the elementary school. Records of each individual's accomplishment are forwarded to the junior high school. There the teachers use the information sent to plan instruction in the Language Arts that helps individuals and groups to progress in appreciation, understanding, and skill in using their language. The newly -built Language Arts Guide is proving to be a very effective means for continuing in secondary school English the instruction in language, com- munications, and reading literature begun in the elementary schools. Secondary school English in Lexington is now based on a language- centered program linguistic in orientation; that is, instruction in reading, writing, speaking, listening, and thinking are taught, not as separate entities, but in subject matter units which show how the English language works and how all elements of corn - munication are interrelated. Through the "linguistic approach" Lexington stu- dents come to see that (1) language changes constantly, (2) change in language, as in all living things, is normal, (3) the spoken language is the language, the basis of all forms of communication, (4) the sentence rather than the word is the basic unit of meaning, (5) meaning and "correctness" rest solely on usage, and (6) all usage is relative; that is, appropriateness is the test, and therefore absolutes of right and wrong in matters of usage do not exist. These principles are most immediately applicable in teaching grammar structure, take much less time to impart and enable students to begin sentence improvement or elementary rhetoric much sooner than formerly. Teachers al- ready feel that their pupils have a better sense of structure, write better and more happily, and are able to devote more time to literature and independent reading. Lexington schools were the first in Massachusetts to introduce struc- tural linguistics and to provide a twelve -year program for it in a study guide, a fact which aroused much interest at the annual 1964 conference of the National Council of Teachers of English in Cleveland and has resulted in nu- merous requests for copies of the new language arts guide. The favored means for teaching English in Lexington secondary schools is the thematic unit; that is, a body of learnings organized about a topic of con- siderable scope and of significance to the individual students in the class. In grade eight, for example, a group may embark on a "Concord Unit" which entails study of several of the writers of the Concord school: their background, their works, and their influence. During the weeks that the unit is in progress, pupils do independent source study in the library and elsewhere, share their findings in small group discussions, write up the results, then report to the class SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 319 as a whole through panels or symposiums. Thus, in an on -going activity both class and individual profit by related opportunities to read, write, speak, listen and evaluate. Similarly, in grade ten a class may be working on "An Evaluation of Short Stories in Magazines Today," and in grade twelve an Advanced Pro- gram section may be deep in "Sound Logic and Fallacies in Plato's Republic." Written composition is very much emphasized. Whatever the class is doing, each student is expected to write a piece of finished composition each week. This frequency of writing makes for facility and fluency, but it also creates problems in motivation. The teacher must constantly exercise her ingenuity to find new and challenging approaches, and she learns to draw heavily upon the treasure house of suggestions contributed by other teachers in the resource units. In grades seven and eight, pupils are encouraged to treat imaginative topics that produce short stories, descriptions, pretended experiences, and poems; yet they learn to develop skills also in such kind's of functional writing as letters, reports, and explanations. From grade nine on, expository writing is increasingly emphasized. While creative writing is still encouraged and wel- comed, those forms of composition most commonly used throughout life are developed: business letters, proof -type expositions, explanations, analyses and evaluations, and research papers. Again, many of the subjects for writing come about naturally in the course of the thematic units. Lexington students who are bound for college receive more than usual training in writing research papers. The progression in this area begins in grade seven, where pupils leam to take notes on dictionary and encyclopedia entries, then make simple written reports from them. By the junior year they have learned to cut across the barriers of subject matter fields in a source paper supervised for content by their American history teacher and for technique by their English teacher. In the senior year they are expected to write, with a mini- mum of supervision, a problem- centered source theme of the term paper type so often required in college courses. Most activities in the speech arts grow out of the sharing process in thematic units. In small group discussion a pupil may analyze the problem at hand, or explain the findings of his contributory reading, or strive to reconcile two op- posing views that have arisen. In the sharing with the entire class he may act as chairman, secretary, parliamentarian, panel member, or lecture speaker. Al- most never are such isolated practices in public speaking invoked as formal book reports or three- minute talks on "How to Bake a Chocolate Cake," or "How I Taught My Dog 'Gyp' To Play Dead Dog." The secondary school literature program is based on two related convictions: that the high school graduate should have knowledge and appreciation of repre- sentative standard classics which are the common cultural heritage of English - speaking peoples, and that he should have a critical understanding of and a settled habit of reading the works of competent contemporary writers who are likely to go on writing well into his adulthood. To fulfill the first need, the core of the literature program is still the well -known favorites, such books as David Copper - field, Tom Sawyer, A Tale of Two Cities, The Red Badge of Courage, The Can- 320 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT terbury Tales, Julius Caesar, Macbeth, and Hamlet. To enrich the understand- ing of contemporary literature, sets of books running into more than 140 titles are available. Thanks to the paperbacks industry, a teacher can make up thematic units in good' literature for classes of a wide range of ability and interest levels. In addition, the supplementary reading program enables the pupil to enrich his background by reading at least ten books a year of his own choice. If space permitted, one could explain at length the additional offerings in language arts available in the allied extracurricular organizations: the Year- book, the school newspaper, the literary supplement, the creative writing course, the dramatic club, the humanities courses, the special reading and speech courses. Throughout a pupil's twelve years in the Lexington schools teachers do all they can to fulfill the philosophy that stands at the beginning of the Language Arts Guide: "An effective language arts program should develop the individual's understanding of what language is, foster his appreciation of its aesthetic qualities, and enable him to communicate effectively his own ideas and feelings as well as evaluate those of others." B. Mathematics The conception of mathematics has changed from a tool subject to a system of ideas. No one has succeeded in defining what mathematics is. It might be characterized as a system of ideas, a way of communicating thought through symbolic expression, a way or procedure for thinking, and a deductive science. Mathemtics is more than a study of numbers, geometric figures and the obtainment of skills. The rapid development of mathematics and its applications has started a revolution. New areas of mathematics are constantly being developed. In the last fifteen years there have been formal attempts by various groups of mathe- maticians and educators to evaluate the existing curriculum and recommend new programs. The teaching of mathematics has evolved from the theory of formal disciplines to the present day method of directed discovery through intuitive discussion. The present day thinking recognizes that methodology and content are inseparable. In particular, the content often suggests a method of development. Society today is greatly influenced by science which is dependent upon mathematics. To be an educated person in this society one must be conversant with the fundamental concepts of mathematics. Hence, it is highly important that man recognize the influence and power of mathematics. It is no longer desirable to teach only those skills and applications that have immediate use. By stressing the principles of mathematics, a person will acquire the necessary background that will enable him to adapt to situations that he may encounter in the future. The modern mathematics programs are based upon the following assump- tions: SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 321 1. Mathematics is second only to the language arts in its importance in the education cf the individual. It is the basis of ideas which in our scientifically- oriented culture are indispensible to understanding the modern environment. Precise communication requires the quantification of these concepts. 2. A greater mathematical facility is required of the citizen to live in our complex society than ever before. Mathematics is used in our decision - making procedures at every level from tomorrow's weather report to the location of businesses and industry. 3. Individuals differ in the capacity to learn but every student has suf- ficient ability to develop further mathematic insight and competence provided instruction suitable to his needs is available. Because of these assumptions extensive changes in mathematics education are taking place. The Lexington school system has been aware of the new developments in mathematics. For the past several years a special committee has been exploring these developments. As a result of the study and use of some of the "new programs,' the group recognized that a combination of modern concepts and traditional skills would be necessary to provide the pupil with mathematical understandings and competencies. No one program was found which fulfilled the goals of Lexington. It was considered necessary to develop a curriculum tailored to the needs of the community. A more extensive committee was appointed in the spring of 1964 to assume responsibility for this task. The group consists of representatives from each grade level. Reviewing the work of the past few years, the committee has adopted, developed and innovated the following: 1. There should be a mathematics program to take care of the needs of all students at all grade levels. The committee has designed and implemented a curriculum so that some mathematics is available to all. It is designed in order that students can move through the sequence at a pace commensurate with their abilities. All students will receive, over varying periods of time, certain basic concepts. 2. Mathematical concepts are introduced to the student when he is found capable of handiing them and periodically thereafter. Learning ex- experiences have been planned in such a way that intuitive concepts are being introduced in the early grades and continuously developed and expanded throughout the student's school experience. These concepts are helically programmed. That is, the student periodically investigates a given concept but at an ever - higher level of abstraction or in a new context. 322 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 3. An understanding of structure is valuable for relating concepts and promoting creativity. Most of the mathematics which is taught is dependent upon a few basic ideas. This is in contrast to mathematics as a collection of skills or symbols. The structure approach allows for creativity on the part of the student as well as making for better retention of skills. 4. The use of the discovery approach is desirable. This allows students to explore ideas and make hypotheses which can be tested against the above structure. 5. Effective coordination must exist between the elementary, junior high and senior high schools. The curriculum is planned in such a way that the students have a continued experience instead of a transition period between schools. Until recently the one branch of mathematics taught in the elementary school was referred to as arithmetic. The traditional curriculum was frequently limited to the skills on four foundamental processes and was usually devoid of ideas. This restricted the students from being creative by discovering ideas. Today there is a change in terminology from "arithmetic" to "elementary school mathematics" —this indicates the changing emphasis. The program, formerly limited to the fundamental processes, is now broadened to include all branches in mathematics (algebra, geometry, etc.) suitable for boys and girls within their age and /or ability range. With this change of emphasis comes concern over time formerly spent for "rote" learning or drill and now used for emphasis on mathematical content and understanding. Adequate provision is made in the program for teaching the same manipula- tive skills that received so much time in the arithmetic curriculum. Balance is the answer. There is still a need for this training, but the emphasis is now on the structure and pattern of mathematics. Topics new to the elementary school curriculum include set language, systems of numeration, (including different bases and symbols for writing numbers) prop - ertiesofoperations — examples: (El +L =r7 + 0); (OX CI)XL- OX (0 Xp), geometric forms, and rudiments of algebra. Much of the mathematics con- tent emphasized in the first half of the twentieth century has been incorporated in the reorganization of the mathematics curriculum. In the junior high school, three distinct courses are taught and students are grouped according to aptitude, motivation and previous achievement. The more capable students are offered algebra and an introduction to geometry with special emphasis on the rational (fractional) numbers. Those least advanced have a program centered on their need for remedial arithmetic based upon the "new' math. The major portion of our student population fits between these extremes. Their modern curriculum differs from the more capable students' program only in depth and pace. For all students, special attention is given to their computational facility. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 323 The high school program is closely coordinated with the junior high school program. In order to accommodate the various abilities five levels of mathe- matics are offered in each grade. These levels range from remedial through advanced placement (accelerated). The higher level courses include matrix algebra, probability, computer theory and programming, and calculus. In summary: The curriculum is designed to allow teacher initiative in obtaining pre -set goals. Each school has the freedom to operate provided it can guarantee the attainment of the town's goals at the end of the elementary, junior, or senior school term, A school may use those materials for which its teachers are trained and capable of using and from which its students could gain the most. The junior high schools have been using the modern mathematics materials and are in the process of revising the curriculum again to capitalize upon the fact that the elementary program now includes content which was previously taught at the junior high level. The same type of revision is to take place on the high school level. In the development of the Lexington Program, two stages remain. The first is to continue to develop effective instructional materials for students and teachers. These include enrichment, extension and supplementary practice materials for student use and reference, bibliographical and pedagogical materials for teachers. The second stage will include the construction of evaluation instruments, the determination of proficiency levels, and the development of efficient cur- riculum records. C. Social Studies The area of the social studies in the schools originally included history, geography, and civics. With the continual development of other disciplines in the social and behavioral sciences, aspects of these sciences selected for in- structional use have become a part of the social studies curriculum. Anthro- pology, archaeology, economics, political science, sociology, and social psychology are the subjects most frequently considered. While the elementary schools have largely drawn from these materials as they seemed essential to the clarification and enrichment of their selected units, the secondary schools have tended to treat them increasingly as separate subjects. The field is large and the concern of those engaged in strengthening the curriculum in the social studies continues to be how to maintain a balance between content and process. A Committee for the Social Studies has worked for a month in each of the past two summers revising and developing a guide for teachers in this field from grades one through twelve. During the school year, members of the Committee have led groups of teachers in further preparation and implemen- tation of content materials and activities. An era marked by the explosion of knowledge requires a curriculum for pupils in the social studies designed 324 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT to show them evidences of stability, as well as change. The program must help them add meaning to their own lives and yet share in the obligations of society. The philosophy for this program has been materializing for several years and was accepted in the following form: The basic responsibility of the Social Studies Program is the development of informed citizens fully aware of the need for insuring the dignity and worth of the individual, for personal involvement in improving the society they have inherited, for appreciating the contributions of all cultures to society, and for recognizing the interdependence of all peoples. In the largest sense, then, the goal of the Social Studies is to prepare students for intelligent participation in a free society. Units have been or will be created to be tested in the classrooms by both teachers and pupils. The titles of these units follow a theme running through a year's work or course. In selecting the content, the emphasis has been placed on topics that lend some understanding to the theme and cultivate the thinking. To provide the opportunity for studying in more depth, fewer units will be examined. The aim here is to foster a spirit of inquiry and develop skills leading to significant concepts and generalizations. Nor will the same units be taught each year. The choice will differ with additions, deletions, and revisions to fit the needs. The themes, as well as units, will be adapted to the maturity and interests of the group. At present the themes for each grade are: I. Man has various ways of meeting similar needs. II. Man has adapted to a variety of natural habitats. III. Man finds new ways to control his relationship to his environment. IV, Technology has changed the production and distribution of goods and services and has created new opportunities and problems for human society. V. There is a variety of patterns of development and interdependence within and among nations. VI. Man's acts of inquiry, creativity, and expression evolve from and in- fluence his culture. VII. An examination of the forces of discovery, revolution, diversity and technology with which man interacted in developing this nation is essential to appreciate the heritage of America. VIII. Man's increased application of knowledge to his physical environment is developing a better way of life. IX & X. An understanding of the modern world necessitates an investigation SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 325 of the patterns of stability and change through a study of the evolution of man's social, political and economic organizations. XI. Progress toward the perfecting and safeguarding of human rights and the comprehension of the responsibilities of citizenship, can be im- plemented by the study of the American past. XII. All human societies are confronted with complex problems which must be resolved if the culture is to be perpetuated. While we have been experiencing the throes of transition in dealing with the new social studies curriculum content there has been time devoted to the skills. As teachers have worked with the new units and have become more accustomed to the emphasis on generalizations and concepts, their insights as to the need for the skills and tools of learning have grown more perceptive. With many pupils more actively engaged in the thinking and learning process, the units in social studies provide for content with which the pupils are directly involved in learning many skills rather than having them taught apart from the subject matter in isolation. The Lexington Social Studies Guide contains a section which itemizes skills. Specific skills are identified and recommendations made as to what grade they should be introduced. Space does not permit listing all of them here, but the broad categories are as follows: 1. Obtaining information 2. Organizing information 3. Evaluating information 4. Solving problems 5. Using textual materials 6. Becoming oriented in time and chronology 7. Interpreting maps and globes 8. Understanding and creating informative pictures, charts, graphs 9. Participating in and leading group work 10. Listening and observing 11. Speaking and writing Many of the skills used in social studies are commonly associated with the language arts. In the new guide for that curriculum, specific skills are identified and a scope and sequence chart recommends in what grade they should be introduced and through what grades they should continue to be taught. The content of social studies provides a means for developing and using many of these skills common to both curricula. However, certain of the skills receive particular emphasis in social studies, such as those associated 326. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT with map work, globes, charts, graphs, time and chronology. The content of social studies also provides situations for skills in working with groups of pupils in varying number. It is essential that the teacher supply stimulating situations which result in rich learning experiences if the pupils are to acquire a breadth of skills. These should provide for personal growth as well as for group participation. As more - experience is gained, the pupils will be able to apply more effective thinking for better solutions. Too often in the past the emphasis in social studies has been on what has happened without proper preparation or per- spective for what is to come. It is imperative that we furnish the opportunity for the pupils of today to learn the necessary skills to cope with the problems presented by a dynamic society in a changing world. Through the collaboration with our town and school librarians, social studies teachers have collected supplementary readings, primary and secondary sources, that are invaluable to pupils. A variety of audio - visuat materials with training offered for making overlays, slides and tapes adds another dimension to learning. By careful preparation for field trips to museums, historic sites, plays and other cultural advantages which our environment affords, these activities are both attractive and purposeful to young people. We are also most fortunate in Lexington to be living in an area where it is possible to draw upon many consultants in college, industry or research to enhance the classroom discussions. Thus, the assets of our larger community increasingly bring vitality to our program. The instructional pay -off from this revision in 'Lexington's social studies curriculum should result in pupils who are more stimulated and responsible. Hopefully they will be better prepared to inquire, think, and disseminate information which will bring about desirable changes in their own behavior and in that society which they will help build. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT IDENTIFYING AND MEETING INDIVIDUAL NEEDS A. American Problems The primary objective of the social studies in general, and of the senior American Problems course in particular, has been expressed as "fostering the values and attitudes necessary for active and constructive participation in American society among the students." Nowhere is this goal more difficult to achieve than among those who have no plans for further education beyond high school. Recognizing the exceptional nature of this group, and the need for a special program to meet its needs, an experimental American Problems program has been instituted for one class of twelfth grade terminal students. In conjunction with the Lincoln Filene Center of Tufts University, and particularly through the efforts of its assistant director, Dr. John S. Gibson, an attempt has been made through the senior social studies course to bridge the age -old gap between school and society for one group of fourteen students. The program itself presently lacks structure; it is experimental, and its method is trial and error. The assumptions on which it operates are simple: school is indeed alien to this group, and these students need and deserve special attention. The basic method, therefore, is equally simple: fight this feeling of alienation through attention. It is felt that the interest manifest in an experimental program should prove to the students that someone cares. There- fore, it is frankly and repetitiously asserted to the students that a special program is being provided, that there is interest in and concern for them. For a group with a history of academic failure and neglect, this alone should give them cause to reconsider their attitudes. It is hoped that ultimately alienation will be replaced by receptivity. Hence not only through what is taught, but also through the very act of trying to teach it, the attitudes necessary for active and constructive participation as adult citizens, as expressed in the general objective stated at the outset, may better be fulfilled. The content of the course, which remains flexible anyway, has not been altered. On all levels, American Problems attempts to identify critical social, economic, and political problems and to encourage students to analyze and criticize solutions to them. It is felt that critical and constructive thinking is essential to intelligent citizenship in a democracy, With the terminal student, it is important to avoid the strictly theoretical methods that are successful with the more motivated and verbal groups. Dr. Gibson has devised a method of teaching theory through diagrams that are more visual than verbal. In the future, if this method proves as successful as it has thus far, a series of slides might be created for the overhead projector. This would add the inherent interest of the audio - visual tools to the apparent practicality of Dr. Gibson's development. The usefulness of audio - visual techniques became apparent with the use of a series of four brief films dealing with practical political problems that had been developed at the Lincoln Filene Center for use on educational television. The same problems that had elicited little response when presented verbally by 327 328 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT the teacher seemed to provoke intelligent and perceptive discussion among the students when dramatized on film. The potential of audio - visual materials for such groups as this must be further explored, for such students are im- mediately more receptive to material presented in such a manner. In an effort to destroy the equation of learning with the classroom, and to draw school and life closer together, field trips were found to be immensely useful. The students learn quickly through experience and personal observation; they learn poorly— indeed, they often resent learning — through books and lectures. Trips to the local Democrat and Republican party headquarters pro- vided many insights into the operation of practical politics, and meshed well with the films and diagram technique previously mentioned. Later the students spent a full day observing a complete trial at District Court in Concord. By such trips it is hoped that the students will come to understand and respect politics and the law. Before the end of the school year further advantage will be taken of the numerous opportunities for learning outside the classroom. The textbook approach in American Problems has been completely dis- carded, with reliance rather on the excellent facilities of the school and town libraries and the relevant paperbacks currently adaptable for classroom use. Problems have been encountered with this group in acquiring reading materials both within the students' reading ability and at the same time not insulting to their intelligence. Thus far, virtually no such materials have been found in the libraries. A few paperbacks and some materials developed at the Lincoln Filene Center have proven useful. In general, traditional methods bear re- examination when related to in- struction of these terminal students. Homework is assigned irregularly and then only when the purpose is carefully explained and the need for it to be done outside class is justified. When this procedure is followed, most students do their homework more willingly and better than before. Students accustomed to academic failure, which has been measured by grades, do not respond positively to low grades. They do, however, appear to be motivated by receiving high grades, and their work seems to improve as their grades do. They need success, and appreciate the recognition usually reserved for the college -bound students. It has, therefore, been a policy to "mark high" rather than be over - critical. In general it appears that teachers as weil as students have profited from the project. Alternate teaching and joint planning stimulates the teachers, and seems to maintain interest among students. The students are flattered by the presence of Dr. Gibson. A close personal relationship between student and teacher makes the students eager to please and builds respect within the teacher for the individual student, regardless of his goals or abilities. It is hoped that such programs may be expanded to meet the needs of other underprivileged students in the Lexinoton secondary schools. This year's project must be regarded strictly as a pioneer venture by a high school teacher SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 329 and a college teacher who are only trying to identify the problem and to try out a variety of possible approaches. Amid the vast amount of time and energy currently being expended for curriculum development and special programs there has remained a group that has been affected by none of it. This group, whose formal education ends at high school graduaticn, deserves equal time. Such time might be wisely invested. A realistic program would measurably improve society both in and out of school. 8. The Basic Studies Program The Lexington Basic Studies Program tries to create an environment con- ducive to learning, founded upon the interests and needs of students who have previously had unsuccessful school experience. Members of the Basic Studies teaching team are subject- matter oriented, but all are concerned with the manipulation of their subjects to realize the interests and abilities of these students. These team members try to approach subject matter with enough flexibility to meet the needs of these students. The Basic Studies staff recognizes the importance of fundamental skills. One of the teacher's primary tasks, therefore, is to review and reteach those things which are essential to learning. A very considerable amount of time must be allocated to these matters in an effort to realize student potentials. Before any teacher can achieve a desirable result from subject matter instruction, the attitude of most Basic Studies students toward things academic must be modified. The students who come into the program are typically antagonistic toward school and teachers. A major problem is to convince these students that the teacher is a partner in the enterprise of learning and not an adult critic. A primary task of the tenth grade program is to reorient new students through counseling and to convince them that they have a chance to be academically successful. If this can be done, there is hope that indi- viduals can commit themselves to buildinj a better future for themselves. Unfortunately, this is not always possible because of previous negative attitudes about learning. Essentially, what the staff tries to do is create a feeling of hope in the individual, a sense of his own worth which can grow into self - respect and self - confidence. His progress is judged, not by his standing among other students, but as an individual; he is given a greater opportunity for personal instruction within an environment of an informal, relaxed class- room, The program does demand that the tasks, carefully chosen as being suitable, be done and effort be shown. The basic problem of morale is worked at seriously in the hope that the idea of a second chance can revitalize the student. A definite attempt is also made to get the student involved in the total school program. It is believed that it would be detrimental if all his time were spent in Basic Studies. The staff encourages him to elect courses and experiment with new interests, hoping that he will participate in extracurricular activities and associate with students of varying abilities and interests. 330 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT Perhaps the most striking feature of the program is that it does not neglect the non - academic aspects which so often affect scholastic achievement. While the school alone cannot hope to revitalize the individual, neither will the stressing of subject matter above the individual solve the problem of this student. The attitude and morale of this student constitutes special problems one does not encounter with the academically successful student. This program is organized to include a team of four teachers operating at grade ten, three at grade eleven, and two at grade twelve who have been recruited from the major subject matter departments of English, mathematics, science, and social studies. At grade ten the students receive instruction in biology, English, mathematics, and social studies (Regional Organization and Problems.) The four instructors who teach these courses attempt to integrate and reinforce ideas in a sometimes thematic approach. In grade eleven a team of three instructors work with the Basic Studies students in the academic disciplines of English, United States History, social living, and a review of fundamental mathematics. Again the attempt is made to work on a common vocabulary, and attention is closely paid by the team to improvement of oral and written expression by the students. In the twelfth grade the students' instruction is in English and science by a two - member instructional team. The twelfth grade English teacher also works at some length with world -wide current events. The science teacher attempts to instill an appreciation of the scientific principles which affect the students' immediate environment. The teachers are assigned to the Basic Studies Program for approximately half the school day, during which they teach according to whatever schedule has been devised for the day during a planning period. This planning period, part of the allotted block of time each day, frees the instructor from other teaching duties and allows the grade level teachers to plan work together; the coordination of course presentations, the grouping of the students, the length of time needed for the activities of the day. This planning period is also used to discuss problems relating to the Program by the team, to engage in conferences with students, and as the need arises, to confer with parents of those students involved in the Program. The scheduling of the Program has been so arranged to allow for an uninterrupted block of two to three hours of instructional time. This larger block of time allows for more flexibility in teaching and provides the opportunity for carrying out projects outside the school building. In addition, this larger block of time affords greater opportunity than in a traditional school schedule for the development of a closer personal relationship between students and teachers and among the students themselves. Very little homework is given to the students, particularly in the early part of the school year. Basic Studies students find it difficult to work alone; they often get discouraged, and tend to procrastinate. Consequently, much of the work is done in class where the teacher is readily available to guide and encourage. In this way much failure, which often results in frustration and hostility toward school, can be avoided. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 331 Although students are brought together within the Basic Studies instruc- tional areas, they are not separated from the rest of the student body. They are encouraged to complete their academic program with electives which fall within their interest and ability ranges; furthermore, the Basic Studies students have the same physical education classes and study halls as other students. As an outgrowth of the academic program and a transition to the occupa- tional world, a work experience feature has been instituted. Work experience has been designed to offer to qualified candidates job preparation which hopefully will establish a relationship between employers and students in a meaningful training program. Close liaison between the school and the employer is necessary in order for proper evaluation of the trainee's progress to be determined. Each student selected for this work experience feature, on the recommendation of his teachers, works every afternoon during the week (20 hours). Students sometimes find their own jobs. However, on occasion the students are sent to interview for a job initially located by the director of work experience. Trainees keep their own records of work done, hours, wages earned, and self - evaluation of their work progress. The director visits the trainees on the job about twice per month. Reactions from employers are discussed with the trainees whenever necessary. Remuneration is governed by existing laws affecting payment of minimum wages to minors and by the employer's opinion of the value of the services of these trainees. Trainees successfully completing the training feature of the Basic Studies Program receive credit toward their high school diploma. Students now come into the Lexington Basic Studies Program at the beginning of the tenth grade. A few additions are made at the beginning of the eleventh or the twelfth grade, and occasionally it is possible to transfer a student into the Program after the beginning of the school year. Parents are informed of the features of the Program by a letter which provides for an individual conference if desired and by a par=_I discussion meeting. It is understood that at any time a student may be wilndrawn from the Program upon the request of the parents. Similarly, a student may be transferred out of the Program during the year if it is felt by the teaching team and guidance staff that the Program is not meeting his needs. At the end of the tenth grade it is expected that several students will transfer to the regular programs of the high school, either to the lower level of college preparatory work or to major concentrations in business courses. Usually, these transfers are mutually agreed upon by the staff and the pupils involved. In summary, the most distinctive features of the Lexington Basic Studies Program are a cooperative team teaching approach, a large block of time scheduled each day for the operation of the Program, experimental teaching methods employing a direct, personal approach, and a work experience oppor- tunity for those students interested and qualified. 332 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT C. The Humanities Program It has been said that our schools should offer students opportunities both to make a good living and to make a good life. In an attempt to develop a vehicle for the latter objective, a high school humanities program was developed for the 1964 -65 school year. The "humanities" have been defined as the fields of studies which deal with man, with a study of man's character and his spirit, his experiences and his environment, his ideas and his values, and the problems and challenges he faces. Man is not studied as a too! -using individual, as in the applied sciences, but as a spiritual, rational, creative person, A new humanities course was established during the 1964 -65 school year at the Lexington High School by a committee representing the arts, music, and 'English departments. In this course there is a tendency to emphasize the arts, their relationship to each other and to history, religion, and philosophy. When the course was first proposed, the committee strongly believed that it should be organized in such a way that pupils could be introduced to new interests with absolutely no pressures to pursue the topics unless they so desired. Since most pupils already have a large burden of homework, the committee wanted a course with no assignments, no exams, and no grades. Arrangements could be made for pupils to investigate topics further, but there would be no requirement to do so. This approach has been a major asset of the program this year; pupils can relax and glean what they want from the lectures or performances. At this point it should be stressed that no credit is given for this course and, while enrollment is voluntary, each student must attend every session or he is automatically dropped. For 1964 -65 two separate courses have been organized, one for freshmen and sophomores and the other for juniors and seniors, Both courses meet at the same time: "H" block on Thursdays, so that occasionally the two classes may meet together for performances. Despite the fact that courses in art, music, and creative writing meet during the same period, approximately 150 pupils enrolled for the program and have attended regularly. The freshman - sophomore program this year stresses a "what is it" approach to the arts and philosophy and is divided into four major classifications: "A Structural Analysis of the Arts /' "Theater," "Philosophy," and "The Creative Mind." The junior- senior program has three major topics: "Isolation of the Creative Spirit in the Twentieth Century," "Nationalism and the Arts," and "Religion." Both groups meet together during February and March for a series of performances by a chorus, orchestra, opera company, ballet troupe, folk music, and dramatic group. Periodically, each large group breaks down into small seminars to discuss ideas introduced in the lectures or performances, and these discussions are led by various high school teachers. The effect has been a striking one, much greater even than the committee has anticipated. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 333 1. The response of authorities to invitations to lecture or perform has been quite amazing. Several of the lectures and perform- ances are being given by high school teachers, music, or art groups. The majority are presented by outside people such as the following: Michael Murray (director of the Charles Playhouse), five professors from Tufts University, Woodrow Wilson Sayre and Richard Filipowski of Lexington, Jan Veen's modern dance group from the Boston Conservatory, four lecturers from the DeCordova Museum, three Russian exchange students at Harvard, and speakers from Harvard, Brandeis, and Boston University. 2. Twenty teachers volunteered to manage discussion groups. They represent almost every department in high school; and, lust as many of the youngsters are often working in fields that are outside those of their usual interests, the teachers are also often leading discussions in areas relatively new to them. Many teachers also regularly attend the weekly programs. 3. Several teachers have reported that occasionally in their classes pupils have taken out their notes from humanities lectures and referred to concepts or information learned from the lectures. There is a sharp trend for departments to supplement their regular courses with lecture series in the area of the humanities or to relate the arts within their course. The art and music teachers are increasingly being asked to give lectures or demonstrations within classes held in other departments. Certainly this trend has not been caused exclusively by the Thursday humanities course; it is, rather, a trend of the times. However, the course has definitely helped to . stimulate interest in the humanities at Lexington High School. Thus, in very practical and effective fashion, the course in the humanities has provided a vehicle for identifying and meeting the individual needs of some of Lexington's high school students. D. The Advanced Program Lexington's Advanced Program was established in 1957 to identify and provide a program for pupils of highest potential, intellectual as well as artistic, musical or athletic. The identification process in Lexington is an unusually comprehensive one based on extensive individual testing, a planned program of achievement tests and systematic teacher observation. The Advanced Program Committee, composed of teachers, members of the Pupil Personnel staff, and administrators is assigned responsibility for identifying pupils of highest intellectual calibre. The Committee bases its decisions on test results, on information from the school, and often on information from parent interviews. Because pupils do not mature at even rates, the Committee is as flexible as possible in making its decisions, frequently reviewing recommenda- tions or following pupil progress over a long period of time. In 1964, 462 records were reviewed by the Advanced Program Committee; 42% of these were for grades four and above. Identification is a continuing process, and 334 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT pupils may be moved at any time when the change seems best designed to meet individual needs. Identification of Advanced Program pupils and grouping them together is only the first responsibility of the school. Curriculum changes and adaptations in methods, based on educational research and teacher experience, insure that pupils not only attain the skills and the factual knowledge expected of all children in Lexington, but also insure that training in particular skills may be introduced whenever the individual is ready, that the order of units may be varied, or that units may be treated with different emphasis. This flexibility is essential as shown by the 1964 achievement tests on which Advanced Program students scored two or three grades above normal grade placement in skills measured. The elementary curriculum is essentially ungraded and carried out now under a variety of forms of school organization. In the fall of 1964 new classes were established in the team - teaching schools of Franklin and Estabrook; new types of grouping were introduced in Parker and Hancock where teachers are respon- sible for several age levels; more traditional class organizations continued in Harrington, Fiske and in the new groups at Maria Hastings School. The sixth grade classes are under an even different situation in the two junior high schools where a semi- departmentalized program is used. A common objective for all of these classes is to provide encouragement of individual interests, understanding of some topics in depth, contact with highest quality in writing, in the arts or in music, and recognition that there can be many solutions to a problem, not just one right answer. Teaching encourages originality, sensitivity to new impressions, a questioning approach to knowledge as well as a command of essential disciplines. Meetings of teachers during the school year and the summer workshops are to prepare and exchange materials for genuine enrichment, to suggest methods by which pupils within the group may progress at individual rates of speed. The elementary meetings during the school year of 1964 led to the writing of a booklet (given to all teachers with Advanced Program classes in September, 1964) which described the nature of the Program, its goals, the characteristics which research attributes to creative and /or gifted children, an outline of the curriculum and general suggestions for teaching methods. Meetings during the fall of 1964 have been used by teachers to explain quite specific projects found to be successful in stimulating originality and freer expression in writing, integrating work in art, music, literature and history. The secondary teacher meetings included speakers, meetings with elemen- tary teachers and departmental discussions of curriculum. Special groups of junior high English, social studies, music, and art teachers and department chairmen sought ways of strengthening the humanities at that level. Some high school teachers of history, science and math now meet to integrate readings in selected historical periods. English and social studies departments are devoting time in their Advanced Program discussion groups to ways of training individuals for truly independent SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 335 study — work on special projects, preparation of seminar reports or individual work on a prescribed course — attainable by the senior year if skills have been carefully developed. The Advanced Program workshop during the summer of 1964 completed units in literature suitable for elementary pupils, units to accompany the basic curriculum in social studies and language arts. Humanities units planned earl- ier were completed for grade eight by an English and geography teacher with the advice of a consultant from the Tufts University art department, A high school teacher worked on a course offered to seniors in the Advanced Program in English — a course entitled The Development of Western Thought. At all levels activities were planned to integrate materials of several disciplines, to encourage independent thought and interpretation and appreciation of the many aspects and the wonder of the creative spirit of man. Definition of the goals of a school or a program does not mean full attain- ment of the goals, but the Lexington Schools are constantly alert to exploring new ways of fulfilling their basic responsibility — the development of each individual to his fullest capacity. 336 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT LOOKING TO THE FUTURE A critical review of the status of a school system usually reveals unmet needs which must be satisfied in the future. However irritating to the public, a superintendent is obligated to speak to these needs until they are satisfied. To neglect this responsibility is a breach of faith with the school committee and citizens who have entrusted their schools to his care. No other person in the enterprise is offered an overview of the entire system through daily contacts with each of the essential parts of the operation. When the superintendent fails to speak about the needs and problems of the schools he is, in effect, silencing the most important agency through which children can speak. With this thought in mind I offer, in general terms, some of the more important needs which I have identified. during my first year as superintendent: 1. A kindergarten program 2. A schedule for building schools which provides enough class- rooms for the growth of a school district so that pupils will not be overcrowded, housed in emergency spaces, or shifted to junior high schools before grade seven. 3. A program, or programs, which will identify and develop the vast reservoir of ability and talent which exists among the so- called "average students." 4. Procurement of enough sites for our building needs at land saturation. 5. Maintenance of a professional salary guide at a level which will continue to attract and keep good teachers. Horace Mann's statement, "No community should rest contented being superior to other communities while it is inferior to its own capabilities," sum- marizes our challenge for the future. Let us hope that we have both the imagination and courage to meet the needs which our children will place before us. SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 337 IN APPRECIATION It is obvious from the preceding discussion that a great portion of this year was spent in curriculum development. None of these activities and programs could have been conducted without the efforts of our professional staff. They have spent many hours in committee meetings and individual study to improve educational opportunities for Lexington children. Their efforts are sincerely appreciated. During this year Manfred Warren and Miss Margaret Leake, who have given thirty -six and thirty -one years, respectively, to the youth of Lexington, retired from teaching. Miss Regina McKenna, Mrs. Mary Neville and James Boisseau died after serving a total of forty-two years in Lexington. This service and dedication to education are an example for those of us who are privileged to work with children. In closing, I wish to express my sincere appreciation for the cooperation, understanding and support given me by the school committee, all of the school personnel, town officials, parents and citizens in carrying out my responsibilities as superintendent of your public schools.
