country and feel 10 dent that their ser
credit to war service of our
them, and honor to their families will redound with
milies and this town.

And the Board would also add that thanks should be ex-
tended to the Public Safety Committee for unselfish and untir-
ing zeal with which they have performed the many duties and
made possible the large sale of Liberty Bonds, the Library
Fund and also the excellent showing of the Red Cross Fund.
Also should be recognized the vast amount of work done by
the women of this town in the surgical dressing and Red Cross
units, as it is the women of America —the mothers, wives, sis-
ters and sweethearts —of those at the front who are making
real war sacrifices. It is t�eir everlasting love, undying deter-
mination, their God -given patriotism which carries the spirit
of success to every man in our Army and Navy.
The forming of the,52nd Company of the State Guard in the
town tells its own story of the spirit and patriotism of its mem-
bers, their fine appearance at Barnstable while acting as escort
to His Excellency, the Governor of the State, at Hyannis, where
in competition with other companies in drilling, they were just-
ly awarded the first prize, a magnificent silver cup, and later,
at Falmouth, when this
a pplause Board were the invited guests of the
Company, of the ,the fine soldier y appearance won them the unstinted
many spectators. A180 at the very recent in-
spection by an officer detailed from headquarters for that occa-
sion, when he stated that it was the best officered from the
highest commissioned one to the lowest non - commissioned, and
the best set-up and drilled company that he had had the pleas-
ure of inspecting, speak volumes of the untiring
tercet of all its members.

with the times and with schools of the times. We have been
obliged to take to our teaching force four new teachers un-
tried in Orleans, but with the majority of them, their previous
successful experience and work make it possible for them to
take up our work with the least possible delay and loss. Our
whole corps of teachers is a strong, earnest, efficient, success-
ful body of workers,
We have been handicapped in many ways in doing the things
that are accepted everywhere, as being the things to do and
teach. But with these many handicaps our teachers have gone
forward with firmness and determination to make the most of
the, opportunity at hand. Their spirit and work is very com-
mendable.
To make the surroundings healthful and sanitary, new cess-
pools have been constructed. To meet the needs of proper seat-
