of Selectmen contacted the new owners of the building, The 1775 Realty Trust,
December 31 1964 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

ROBERT CATALDO
The Board of Selectmen, early in January appointed the members of the GEORGE C. SHELDON
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 long-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

Removing and Pruning Trees: During the year we pruned approximately

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 Elm 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.

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 re.,ources 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 caverna 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.

It is important that we begin now to acquire enough sites for the school
buildings which will be needed at land saturation. 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
I 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.

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.

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.
Respectfully submitted,
