1906-'07
BANGOR, M A I N E :

MAYOR'S ADDRESS
Gentlemen of the City Government :
I shall address you very briefly, as I believe we were
elected to act rather than to talk.
W e have been intrusted by the voters of the city of Bangor with the management of the municipal affairs of the
city for the coming year. The record which we make in
conducting the business of the city will be our answer as to
whether they have done wisely or not. We were not
elected on account of our ability and talents as orators, but
because they had confidence in our business ability and
judgment, and their belief that we would conduct the affairs
of the city in an honest and faithful manner.
The present financial condition of the city does not seem
to me to be in just the situation that a careful business man
likes to find his affairs. The temporary loans amount to
$80,000, the bridge notes are $40,000, the contract for police
alarm calls for $5,000. There are $10,000 for land for sedimentation basin, and $30,000 for the widening of Franklin
street. In addition to which, the cost of the library lot,
which is now pending before the courts, will make the total
debts and obligations of the city amount, at a fair estimate,
to from $200,000 to a quarter of a million; which expense,
gentlemen, must be met either by an increase in the rate

of taxation, or in some other way which we must devise.
My only recommendation to you at this time is that you
carefully read and study the reports of the different departments, noting the suggestions of their respective heads, and
at the proper time we will give them our careful consideration.
In selecting the heads of the different departments for
the ensuing year, I sincerely hope that you will use your
earnest business judgment and elect to the different positions the best available men. Upon them in a very great
measure depends the success or failure of our administration.
In conclusion I wish to say that I request, and shall expect you to give the same diligent thought and earnest consideration to the affairs of the city that you do to your own
private business. Let us each do our whole duty, and give
the city a clean, honest, business-like administration.
Gentlemen, I thank you.

REPORT OF THE WATER BOARD
[1907
REPORT OF THE
Bangor Water Board
To the City Council of Bangor :
In order that you may have accurate knowledge of the
work done in connection with the city's water supply and
matters pertaining thereto, this thirty-second annual report
of the Bangor Water Board for the year ending February
28, 1907, is submitted, accompanied by the reports of the
Collector, Superintendent, and Chief Engineer at the pumping station which give in detail much important data concerning their respective departments.
COLLECTOR'S DEPARTMENT.
The increase of revenue from additional fixtures during
the fiscal year just past is $3,054.50, an appreciable increase
over the figures of the previous year. The total revenue
and credits for the department for the year is $75,001.98, another very creditable showing. The fact that this is the
tenth consecutive year in which all charges have been collected in full speaks volumes for the efficiency of our collector. The fact that in the past two years no service has
bten shut off for non-payment of rates is another interesting
fact from the collector's department.
An exceptionally good showing has been made by the
inspection department this past year, 5,978 returns having
been made by the inspector, which is more than in any
previous year.
1907]
CITY OF BANGOR
SUPERINTENDENT'S
77
DEPARTMENT.
According to the Superintendent's report, 6,963 feet of
new service pipe have been laid in addition to such repairs
and alterations as have been necessary. With these extensions the city now has a total of 47 3-5 miles of street
mains.
As for service pipes, 94 new pipes have been added and
five discontinued during the year, making a total of 4,546
now connected with the system. Two hundred and nine old
services have been renewed.
Eleven new fire hydrants have been installed during the
year. A .new and especially interesting feature of the
Superintendent's report is a list of the city's fire hydrants,
arranged alphabetically and giving in pounds the nominal
water pressure available at each hydrant.
In accordance with orders, extensive repairs were made
in the summer of 1906 on the apron of the dam from the
forebay to the sluice at an expense of $2,500.77. The fishway has also been repaired.
CHIEF ENGINEERS
DEPARTMENT.
On reference to the accompanying report of the Chief
Engineer at the pumping station it will be seen that affairs
have been conducted there in a most satisfactory manner
during the past year. The daily average of water pumped
during the past fiscal year was 3,453,174 gallons. In February, 1906, 3,526,937 gallons was the daily average while in
February, 1907, 4,604,676 gallons was the daily average,
showing conclusively that a great amount of water was undoubtedly allowed to run to waste during the extreme cold
weather of this year. There seems to be no practical way
to avoid such waste unless meters are introduced; and this
feature should, without question, be seriously considered
before long.
78
[l9°7
THE FILTER PLANT.
Continued use of the filter plant and the coagulating
process has clearly demonstrated that the introduction of
this apparatus and process has been of great benefit in clearing and purifying the city water. There is yet more to be
done, however, according to the recommendations of Mr.
George W. Fuller, of New York, who came to Bangor at the
request of the Water Board and made an exhaustive examination and study of the city's problem of adequate and safe
water supply. Mr. Fuller's report in full accompanies this
report of the Water Board, and should be given a very
careful reading. The fact that the City Government has
accepted Mr. Fuller's recommendations and the city has
already arranged for a location for an adequate settling
basin, buildings, etc., necessary for the proper execution of
the proposed plan shows how generally and heartily the
"Fuller idea" has been endorsed and accepted. When the
modernized plant is in running order, Mr. Fuller is confident
we will meet with practically perfect results in our endeavors to supply the city with pure water.
FINANCIAL.
In closing, the board wishes to call special attention to
the city ordinance which provides that any unexpended balance of the year "shall be annually set apart by the City
Treasurer to pay the interest on the Bangor water loan
bonds, the expense of carrying on or running said works
and repairing the same, and for the creation of a surplus
fund to pay and extinguish said bonds at maturity."
Despite this ordinance, whatever balance this department
has shown in past years has been transferred to other departments needing it.
The balance this year being
$8,349.54, we cannot, therefore, urge too strongly that the
1907]
CITY OF BANGOR
79
ordinance be strictly observed in the future and that all
sums collected from the city water takers be credited to aiid
used in and for this department.

Total number of miles of main pipe, 47 3366-5280.
Of the above, the pipe laid in Elm, Grant, Poplar, Vernon, North, and Stillwater Avenue was to replace two-inch
pipe and to discontinue dead-ends. The six-inch line laid
in Grant Street, north of Congress Street, has greatly improved the fire service in that locality.
I respectfully recommend that the two-inch pipe in
Barker Street from Main to First Street, and in First from
Barker to Davis Street, be taken up the coming season and
replaced by six-inch, and a hydrant located on this line.
Also that a six-inch pipe be laid in Market Street from
Cumberland to Willow; and a hydrant be set at the junction
of Market and Curve Streets, and Curve Street line be continued to Harlow to discontinue the dead end. Hodgdon
Street line should also be continued about one hundred feet
to connect with the four-inch line in Haymarket Square.
One break has occurred in the mains within the past
year; that being the eight-inch pipe in Harlow Street near
Morse & Company's Planing mill, caused by defective pipe.
It occurred about 8 o'clock Friday morning, Jan. 25th.
Owing to the depth of frost, considerable difficulty was
found in locating the break. Repairs were completed and
water turned on Saturday afternoon, Jan. 26th.
82
[l<?07
LEAKS.
Thirteen leaks occurred during the year, eleven in the
service pipes and two in the mains. All were repaired as
soon as discovered.
SERVICE PIPES.
Ninety-four new service pipes have been added during
the season, and five have been discontinued, making a total
to date of four thousand, five hundred and forty^six now
connected with the system. Two hundred and nine old services have been renewed, and a much larger number should
be the coming year.
We have had much trouble with our service pipes filling
with hydrate. This trouble will continue until we have a
sedimentation basin connected with our filter plant.
FIRE HYDRANTS.
The hydrants have received the usual attention during
the year, and are now in good condition. One has been
broken the past winter, caused by the lifting of it by the
frost. Eleven new ones have been added as follows:
One on Elm street, between Garland and Somerset streets, (east
side).
One at corner of Fourteenth and Hammond streets.
One on Hammond opposite Thirteenth street.
One at corner of Wing and Vernon streets.
One on Button street in Maplewood Park.
One at corner of Leighton and Poplar streets.
One at corner of French and South Park streets.
One at corner of Fifth and Cedar streets.
One on Front street near Eastern S. S. Co.'s wharf.
One on Harlow street opposite Morse & Co.'s Planing Mill.
One on Valley avenue near Morse & Co.'s storehouse.
Total number of hydrants connected with the works, 252.
Several have been raised to conform with the street
grade; and a number of frost jackets have been set to take
the place of those found decayed.

METERS.
Seven meters have been added, and six have been discontinued during the past year, making eighty-three now in
use.
STREET WATERING STAND PIPES.
One street stand pipe has been added during the past
year and there are at the present time twenty-five in use.
BUILDINGS.
The department buildings are in very good condition
and will require only a small expenditure. The store-house,
at the pipe-yard on Second Street, has been painted two
coats. Two windows have been put in the filter house,
which greatly improves the light and ventilation.
DAM AND FISHWAY.
By your orders two piers have been built. One at the
northwest side of the sluice, to protect the side and also the
apron and the other at the southwest end of the forebay
wall, to protect the wall and the flume. New planking has
been put on the dam and apron to take the place of that
which was badly worn. The fishway has been repaired the
past winter. New timber and plank has been put in where
it was found necessary; and it seems as if it would go a
number of years without further repairs.
An inventory of stock and tools is now being taken, and
as soon as completed will be placed on file in the office of
the Water Board.
In closing this report I wish to express to your honorable board, my appreciation for your kindness and assistance to me during the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
M. A. SINCLAIR,

REPORT OF THE
Chief Engineer of Water Works
Pumping Station,
To the Bangor Water Board :
Gentlemen:—I hereby present the thirty-second annual
report of the Engineer for the year ending Feb. 28, 1907.
The cost for repairs the past year, to compensate for
wear of pumps and machinery in filter room and wheel
house, has been slight, taking into consideration the constant running during twenty-four hours every day in the
year. The greater part of these repairs have been made
by the men regularly employed in the Station, very little
outside help having been required. The machinery today
is in good condition.
Since the niters were put into operation, up to the
present time, it has been found sufficient to have them
cleaned thoroughly once during the year. This cleaning
has been necessary to place them in readiness for the spring
freshet, as the three or four weeks of unusually bad water
clog the filters nearly as much as running the rest of the
year under ordinary conditions. This year, however, I
found it necessary that they should be thoroughly cleaned
in December, the sand beds removed, and the clean water
1907]
CITY OF BANGOR
97
well under these beds washed out. As this piece of work
was obliged to be done so much earlier in the winter than
usual, it will have to be repeated a little later in the year.
In all probability it will be found necessary in the future, to
clean the filters twice a year.
I was obliged to run the filter plant with steam part of
three days this winter. This was to enable me to make
repairs on the mortice rim gears and shafting which connects this part of the Works with the water wheels.
The windows that your Board had placed in the roof of
the filter house are thoroughly appreciated by the assistants
in t h a t part of the Works. The air and light are both very
much improved.
So far this winter the steam pump has not been used, as
there was no trouble from anchor ice last fall; and there
has been no occasion to draw the water from the flume,
which is necessary very often in case of repairs.
The quantity of water pumped the past year has been
as follows:
March,
1906
106,520,170 gallons

"
128,930,950
Total amount
1,260,408,785
This is a daily average of 3,453.I74 gallons. A little
over 65,000,000 gallons of the total amount were pumped by
the Gaskell.
98
[1907
The daily average for February, 1907, was 4,604,676 gallons. On several days of this same month, about 5,400,000
gallons were pumped.
In closing, I wish to thank the Mayor and members of
the Board, also Supt. Sinclair, for their uniform kindness
during the year.
D. F. W E B B E R ,
Chief Engineer.

box or stop, or in any manner commit any act tending to
obstruct the use of any hydrant, gate or valve.
Provided,
however, in cases of fire the hydrants shall be for the time
being, under the entire control of the chief engineer of the
fire department, who, after each fire, shall cause each
hydrant used to be left in good condition for immediate use.
Said engineer may also, after having given notice to said
board of his intention so to do, use said hydrants to fill the
reservoirs of said city.
Sec. 3. Any person desiring a supply of water shall
make application in writing to said board, stating for what
use it is wanted, the location in which it is desired, and as
near as may be the extent of its use.
1907]
CITY OF BANGOR
121
All aplications must be made by, or with the assent of
the owner or agent of the premises, by whom all rates shall
be paid.
Sec. 4. All pipes, valves and fixtures must be capable
of sustaining a pressure of at least two hundred pounds to
the square inch; and the plumbers' work must be examined
and tested by the superintendent of said board before the
water is finally turned on.
Sec. 5. Said board will furnish and lay a service pipe
from the street main to the outer edge of the sidewalk, and
furnish and place at said edge of the sidewalk a stop valve
and box, and shall thereafter maintain and keep it in good
order, and the same shall at all times be completely subject
to the control of said board. No pipe shall be connected
with the city service pipe, nor shall water be turned on at
any time until a permit is issued therefor. All connection
with main pipes shall be made by a person appointed for
that service by said board.
Sec. 6. Said board is authorized to appoint an inspector
of said works and define his duties. Said inspector shall at
all times, when on duty, wear, in a conspicuous place on his
clothing, a badge furnished by the water board. He shall
at all proper and reasonable time have access to, and be permitted to inspect pipes, fixtures and apparatus supplied with
water, and may control the location and use of the stop and
waste cock in the cellar of the building, or in whatever location it may be placed, as the interests of the city may require. It shall be the duty of the inspector of water, to inspect as often as possible the fixtures of all water takers, see
that they are tight and kept in good condition. He shall
notify all users of water of any waste he may discover, or of
faulty plumbing, if any, and the parties so notified shall at
once cause the defect to be remedied. A second notice for
the same cause from the inspector shall cause a fine of one
dollar to be imposed upon the offender. A third offence for
122
[l907
the same cause shall subject the offender to a fine of five
dollars, or the shutting off of the water from his or her
premises, or both, as the majority of the water board
present at any meeting duly called shall elect. Any refusal
to pay such fine shall be sufficient cause for shutting off the
water, which shall not be turned on again until such fine is
paid.
It shall be the duty of the inspector to report all irregularities under these rules to the clerk of the water board,
who shall make note of the same and report to the superintendent and to the water board at their next meeting.
Sec. 7. Water will in no instance be turned on until the
plumbing has been examined and approved by the superintendent of said board or reported safely and well completed
in all its parts to sustain a pressure of two hundred pounds
to the square inch, by a plumber licensed by the board, and
approved by the superintendent; and every plumber who
shall set up any pipes, fixtures or apparatus for the use of
water, or shall make repairs upon or additions to those
already set up, shall report to said board within two days
of the completion thereof the nature of the repairs or additions which have been made to the work heretofore existing.
Sec. 8. All persons supplied with water shall keep the
cocks, pipes and fixtures in good repair and protected from
frost. No continuous flow to guard against freezing or for
other causes will be allowed, but by special permit of said
board, and by paying extra rates therefor; and no leak shall
be suffered to exist in any pipe, fixture or attachment.
Sec. 9. An unnecessary use or waste of water, or allowing it to be used by parties, or for purposes not specified in
the application, will subject the offender to an immediate
stoppage of the water, and the payment of not less than
double the rates for the quantities thus used, or wasted, as
estimated by the superintendent. And when water has
1907]
CITY OF BANGOR
123
been turned off from any premises for any reasons above
stated, or for any defect in the plumbing, the sum of one
dollar will be charged for turning on.
Sec. 10. Said board may cause a meter to be attached
to any premises where they have reason to believe that an
unnecessary or fraudulent use of water is being made, and
may assess rates upon such premises thereby. Meter rates
for other than for domestic uses are hereby established at
five and one-half cents per hundred cubic feet.
Sec. 11. Water supplied for hydraulic power or in large
quantities for special use, will be subject to such restrictions
as said board may impose; and no meter shall be put in use
without the consent of said board.
Sec. 12. Each builder or superintendent of building
using city water, shall, on the first day of each month, return
to said board at their office, a full and true account of all
water used by him during the month previous, and he shall
at that time pay for the water so used.
Sec. 13. All the water rates, except for building purpose, meter rates, lawn and street sprinklers, shall be due
and payable at the office of said board, quarterly in advance,
on the first day each of January, April, July and October.
Meter rates will be due and payable at the same place on the
first day of the succeeding quarter, and rates for garden,
lawn and street sprinklers will be due and payable in
advance at said office on the first day of April and July of
each year. The amount of each rate remaining unpaid
twenty days after it is due, will be increased ten per cent.;
and one per cent, per month interest on the original amount
due will be charged in addition therefor, until paid, together
with costs of collection.
Sec. 14. Not more than twenty-five per cent, discount
will be made from regular rates when supplies of water are
taken by special permit from yard fixtures, or from sources
124
[l907
without the premises; and in no case shall such supplies be
taken from fire hydrants.
Sec. 15. Said board reserves the right to shut off water
for the purpose of making extensions, alterations or necessary repairs. And they will shut off water from premises
when the users shall disregard the rules for its supply, neglect to pay the rates therefor promptly, or shall sell or permit an unauthorized use of water. Any person receiving
water through a stop in common with another person, will
be liable to have his supply shut off in consequence of the
violation of the rules by the other person or party.
Sec. 16. The regular rates for fountains and jets will be
based upon their use for six hours per day for one hundred
days in the year, or equivalent to that time; and shall not
exceed in size in locations not over one hundred feet above
the pumping house floor, three-sixteenths of an inch in
diameter. And for localities not over one hundred and fifty
feet above said floor, one-fourth of an inch in diameter; and
in no case over three-eighths of an inch in diameter.
Sec. 17. The regular rates for street and garden
sprinklers and for yard and lawn hydrants, will be based
upon their use for one hour per day for ninety days in the
year; and are not to be used to the inconvenience or injury
of persons passing in the streets, and only at such hours as
said board may direct. Yard and garden hydrants must not
be converted into jets; and neither the sprinklers or
hydrants are to be used for wetting other premises than tl
ones defined in the application, without permission of said
board, and payment for said additional use. The size of the
stream permitted shall in all cases be fixed by the board and
the increasing of the size by the user shall be sufficient cause
for the turning off of the water. The board may designate
the hours during which the sprinklers or hydrants may be
used. Their use while a fire is raging is positively forbidden, except in case of danger of the premises from fire.
1907]
CITY OF BANGOR
125
Sec. 18. All valves for water closets and urinals must
be self-closing, and are to be submitted to and approved by
the superintendent of the board. Tanks receiving water
direct from the mains are to be fitted with approved selfacting float valves.
Sec. 19. Any person who shall violate any of the provisions of this ordinance, shall forfeit and pay the sum of
not less than one nor more than thirty dollars, to be recovered by action of debt in the name of the city treasurer for
the use of the city, or by complaint for the use of the city,
before the municipal court, or any other court that may
hereafter have jurisdiction of the same.
PLUMBING
Sec. 1. No plumbing shall hereafter be done on any
pipes or fixtures for the use of water from the city water
works, unless by a plumber licensed by the water board of
said city. Said board are authorized to grant and revoke
licenses.
Sec. 2. Every plumber who shall set up any pipes or
fixtures for the use of water from said city water works, or
shall make repairs upon, additions to, or alterations of, any
pipes or fixtures set up previous thereto, shall, between the
first and tenth day of the succeeding month, fill up and
return to said board a report, stating particularly what new
pipes and fixtures he has set up the previous month, and
what repairs, additions and alterations he has made upon or
to those previously set up.
126
[ 19-07
Sec. 3. For every misrepresentation or omission in the
report of the work done, said plumber shall be liable to have
his license revoked by said board, and to pay a fine of not
less than five, nor more than twenty dollars, to be recovered
in an action of debt in the name of the city treasurer, before
the municipal court of said city.
Sec. 4. If any plumber or person not duly licensed,
shall set up any pipes or fixtures for the use of water from
the water works of said city, or make any repairs upon, additions to, or alterations of any pipes, or fixtures previously
thereto set up, he shall forfeit and pay a sum not less than
five nor more than twenty dollars, to be recovered by complaint, or in an action of debt in the name of the city treasurer, before the municipal court of said city.

The income of the Patten Fund, which is used chiefly
for the purchase of books which are valuable for reference,
is an efficient aid in enriching the Library annually with
desirable standard works, the purchase of which might
otherwise be unduly delayed.
The price of books is increasing somewhat from year
to year, so that the average cost, per volume, of books purchased for the Library is now noticeably larger than it was
a few years ago.

PINES AND LOSSES.
T h r e e t h o u s a n d , five h u n d r e d and forty-five notices have
been sent for overdue books, and one h u n d r e d a n d four second notices, b u t in only a few cases h a s it been necessary to

send a messenger. Six books have been lost, or damaged,
and the price of the books paid by the borrower. Four
books were destroyed by order of the Board of Health, being found in houses where children were ill with scarlet
fever. One book was burned when a house was destroyed
by fire. Two books charged in 1905, and four in 1906, have
not been returned and are marked as lost books. Seventeen were missing when the annual inventory was taken in
May, and, as they have not since been found, are supposed
to be lost books.
The income from fines was $253.75.
CHILDREN'S ROOM.
The new room for the use of children was opened on the
seventeenth of September and has proved a great success.
The crowded condition of the main delivery room, during
certain hours, has been greatly relieved and people can now
use the tables, in the reading room, at all hours of the day.
As it seemed inadvisable to fix an age limit, the dividing
line has been drawn between the Grammar and High
School. All pupils below the High School obtain their
books, both for home use and reading room, in this department, while those from the High School go to the main
delivery room. About three thousand books are kept on
the shelves in the new room, but children can have the use
of books from the main library.
Miss Lord has full charge, and with an electric bell can
call for books from the main library without keeping an additional assistant in the room. The children, evidently,
take great pride in their room and are much more careful
in every way, than in the old crowded quarters.
CONCLUSION.
During the summer, two of our assistants resigned.
One, Miss Bertha R. Mayberry, who had served in the
146
[1907
Library since 1891, three years as substitute and twelve as
regular assistant, was married in June. Miss Kathryn
Preble, who had been a substitute for two years and regular assistant for eighteen months, decided to become a
teacher and is now taking training for that work.

a Library Card shall be stamped thereon, and a corresponding slip, containing the shelf number of the volume and
day and month of its issue and the name and address of its
borrower, shall be preserved.
The slips for each day shall be placed in the numerical

CITY OF BANGOR

in the Record of Library Cards opposite the number of the
original card.
When a card is lost, the Librarian may issue a new one
seven days after notice of the loss has been given at the
Library, but the loss of a card will not remove the owner's
responsibility for its subsequent use. If a lost card is
recovered after a new one has been issued in its stead, the
duplicate must be immediately returned to the Library.
A record shall be kept of the number of books issued
daily from each class for the Reading Room and a similar
record of those issued for home use.
A R T I C L E V.
CLASSIFICATION AND NUMBERING.
The books belonging to the Library shall be arranged
and numbered in accordance with the system of classification devised by Melvil Dewey and published by the Library
Bureau, the general classes being as follows:
0. General Works.
5. Natural Science.
1. Philosophy.
6. Useful Arts.
2. Religion.
7. Fine Arts.
3. Sociology.
8. Literature.
4. Philology.
9. History.
In numbering the books, the numbers of class, division,
section and sub-section shall be used, the intention being
to make the classification as complete as it can be made
without deviating from the authorized system.
In assigning the numbers, the directions given by the
author of the system shall be closely followed.
A symbol, according to the Cutter system, indicating the
name of the author of the book, or the author of the first
essay of a collected series, shall follow the sub-section number except in the following instances. In numbering
biographies and town histories the symbol of the name of
the person or town shall be used instead of the symbol of
164
[1907
the author's name. In numbering the works of an author
whose name is unknown, the letter X shall be used as a substitute for the symbol until the author's name is disclosed.
When a sub-section is devoted entirely to one author, the
symbol shall be omitted and the books shall be arranged in
chronological order, and consecutive numbers, following the
sub-section number, shall be assigned to the works. When
several books by the same author, or biographies of the
same person, or histories of the same town, are grouped
together, they shall be arranged chronologically, and consecutive numbers, following the symbol, shall be assigned
to them. In numbering periodicals the Cutter symbols
shall be used for the names of the periodicals.
Works of so general a character, as to make it desirable
to have them at the beginning of a section, may be numbered without the author's symbols.
Duplicates shall have the same shelf number.
Successive volumes of the same work shall have the
same shelf number, the number of each volume serving as a
distinguishing mark.
The shelf number and the accession number of each
volume shall be written on a suitable slip and pasted inside
the cover. The shelf number shall also be indicated on the
back of each book.
At least one copy of every book, of which the Library
has more than one copy, shall be appropriated to the Reading Room use and marked with the letter A over the shelf
number, and shall remain in the Library Room as a shelf
copy for the use of readers. All other books, which, in the
judgment of the Library Committee shall be appropriated
to Reading Room use, shall be marked with the letter A
and no book so marked, shall be issued for home use without the consent of the Library Committee. Books marked
with the letter R shall not be issued for home or Reading
Room use without the consent of the Library Committee.

CATALOGUES.
The record of books added to the Library, and removed
from it, shall be preserved in suitable catalogues as hereinafter provided.
All books added to the Library shall be numbered in the
order in which they are received, and shall be so recorded in
the Accession Record. In addition to the accession number, the shelf number of each volume shall also be entered
therein. Opposite the numbers, the title of the book shall
be recorded, and the name of the author, if known, together
with notes of the size of the volume and the number of
pages, the names of publishers, and place and date of publication. The books being so entered in the Accession
Record, the last entry, at any time, will show the number of
volumes added to the Library since its commencement.
When any book is re-bound, worn out, lost, exchanged,
or sold, it shall be noted, with the date, in the Accession
Record opposite the number of the book.
Every pamphlet shall be recorded in the Record of
Pamphlets, the title and date of reception, and other items
of interest, being noted. The number, opposite which the
pamphlet is recorded, shall also be noted on the cover of the
pamphlet as a guide to the entry in the record. /When a
pamphlet is bound, the date of sending to the bindery and
the accession number of the bound volume shall be noted
opposite the original entry. When a pamphlet is removed
from the Library, the date and cause of removal shall be
noted opposite the original entry.
There shall be a card catalogue for the use of the attendants, in which authors, titles and subjects shall be included.
There shall also be a card catalogue, supplementary to the
printed catalogue, in which shall be included authors and
titles, which shall be open to the public.
166
[1907
Every book title shall appear in its proper place in the
card catalogue of titles, and shall be preceded by the shelf
number and followed by the author's name, with pseudonym,
if any, (in parenthesis), or the abbreviation anon, in
parenthesis, if the author's name is unknown and there is
no pseudonym.
In arranging titles in the catalogues, articles or other
unimportant words commencing the title, shall be omitted
or transposed, each entry being made in such form as may
seem likely to be most easily found by readers.
Each author's name and each pseudonym shall appear in
the card catalogue of authors, each pseudonym being followed by the abbreviation pseud, in parenthesis, and reference to the author's name. Each author's name shall be
followed by the titles of the author's works in alphabetical
order, the shelf number preceding each title.
An outline of the contents of any work, or a few words
to indicate its character, may be given in subject, author, or
title lists when expedient.
There shall be a shelf catalogue in which the books
belonging to the Library shall be entered on cards and
arranged in order of the shelf numbers, with author's name,
title of each work, number of volumes, and accession
numbers.
All books sent out for binding shall be recorded by
accession number, shelf number and title in the Record of
Binding, and the date of sending and date of return shall be
noted.
All books permanently removed from the Library shall
be entered in the Removal Record in the order of their
removal, with statement of the accession number and title
of each volume, and date and cause of removal. The list
of books, so entered, shall be numbered in order, so that the
last entry made in the Removal Record shall show the number of volumes permanently removed from the Library.

SHELVING.
When the numbers have been placed upon the bookplates and the backs of the books, the books shall be
shelved in the cases assigned to the classes in the order of
their numbers, leaving sufficient spaces for additions.
When, for sufficient reason, a book is not shelved in the
place indicated by the shelf-number, a numbered dummy
shall be put in the place of the book with a reference showing where the book may be found.
New books shall be examined for faults of printing or
binding before they are numbered. All books returned by
readers, shall be examined before they are shelved. If pencil marks are found, they shall be erased, and if bindings
are loosened, they shall be repaired, and any damage,
beyond reasonable wear, shall be charged to the last holder
of the book.

not actually in use.
No order shall be taken by any attendant for books in
advance of delivery, nor shall any book be reserved for any
person, or charged in advance of delivery. The Library
attendants are not allowed to charge books or periodicals
to themselves until such books or periodicals have been
available to the public for at least one hour, nor may they
use their official position to confer upon themselves or their
friends any advantages in the use of books not available to
all users of the Library.
It shall be the duty of the Librarian to suspend the issue
of books to any person who wilfully violates the rules or
injures property belonging to the Library, or whose behavior or condition in any respect is such as to justify such
suspension. Persons whose privileges are thus suspended,
shall not be again entitled to receive books until the damage to property, if any, is paid, and the Librarian is satisfied
that the suspension need not longer be continued.
Books, or other articles, offered to the Library, may be
accepted, if of sufficient value, by advice of the Library
Committee, and when so accepted, notice shall be given to
the donor by the Librarian with a suitable acknowledgment, and the books shall be recorded in the Donation

During the municipal year, I have made 982 calls. I
have distributed 1,299 garments, 237 pairs of shoes and rubbers and 30 pairs of blankets and quilts.
Through the thoughtfulness and generosity of Lewis
Hegwein, proprietor of Weferling's cafe, I have been
enabled to supply bread and cake three or four times each
week to the needy of the city. Words can poorly describe
the good thus accomplished and I wish to express the
earnest thanks, not only of myself, but also of the poor families, for the extreme kindness of Mr. Hegwein. Throughout the year, the usual groceries, medicines and delicacies
for the sick have been distributed.
I have obtained employment for 23 people. This is a
new departure. Many destitute people arriving in the city
have been sent to their destination through the liberality
of President Cram of the Bangor & Aroostook railroad.

There is available annually from the Stetson fund about
$300. Customarily the sum of $200 or $300 has been drawn
by my predecessors, but I drew only $181.25 as the $200
received from the charity concert and dance enabled me td
meet all expenditures.
My thanks are due Hon. Edward H. Blake, Bangor
lodge of Elks and the Bangor Railway & Electric Co., for
their kind contributions. I am grateful toward the public
for gifts of clothing and for assistance and co-operation in
the conduct of my duties.
All cases called to my attention have been investigated
in a thorough manner and a worthy request has not been
denied. All work is recorded in a systematic manner and
my endeavor has been to maintain the department upon a
business-like basis.

FIRE ESCAPES.
O w n e r s of buildings w h e r e t h e y are needed have put on
quite a n u m b e r , and o t h e r s are p r e p a r i n g to do so. I would
not a p p r o v e of a n y fire escapes leading from any hall or
place w h e r e people c o n g r e g a t e in a body, w i t h o u t a door
cut t h r o u g h t h e wall on a level with the floor, so t h a t the
people can walk out and not be obliged to come down on
their h a n d s and knees and crawl t h r o u g h a window, with
a c r o w d behind t o p u s h you along, or walk over you, t h u s
m a k i n g a chance for old folks and children. L e t us have no
traps.
IMPROVEMENTS.
A n e w triple combination hose, ladder and chemical
w a g o n h a s been placed in Station F o u r , at a cost of $2,600.
T h e s t e a m e r L i b e r t y h a s been remodeled and made into a
third-class M e t r o p o l i t a n steamer, cost $3,150. W i t h these
t w o n e w pieces of a p p a r a t u s t h e H i g h l a n d s have as good
fire p r o t e c t i o n as a n y p a r t of the city.
T h e city has also b o u g h t one second-class Metropolitan
engine located in Central fire station for business district
176
[1907
at a cost of $3,850. Hose 4 has a new body for its sled so
as to carry a chemical tank.
A new ladder sled has been added to the department at
cost of $200. It has always been the custom to haul the
ladder on a couple of sleds and to pile the coats, rigging and
tools on top of the ladders. When arriving at a fire you
had to unload your tools and coats in the road, and also unload the ladders until you came to the one you wanted, thus
blocking the road and having teams run over your ladders
and breaking out rounds, also losing valuable time.
To remedy this loss of property and time I have had a
set of sleds and a rack built and apartments for the tools
and coats and rigging. Every ladder is numbered and you
can get the desired one without disturbing the rest. The
rack and sleds weigh 50 pounds less than the old sleds. It
has met with the hearty approval of the committee on fire
and the members of the department. Suction pipes have
been placed on State street near the foot of the Hogan road,
thus enabling a steamer to attach from the road, as it is
impossible to leave the road with a steamer in the spring
ancTwinter time and it saves cutting through the ice for the
use of your suction. These pipes run to the river and are
on an incline and have no water in them only when in use.
There is a steamer connection on the end and they are
used the same as a hydrant. They have also been put in at
Morse's bridge, Valley avenue.
New pony chemicals have been bought to replace old
ones, also a testing pump, thus saving chance for accidents.
The ladders have been repaired and painted. The different wagons have been painted and varnished and put in
good repair. Wood reservoirs, one at Somerset street uncovered and new covers put on good for ten or 12 years;
one at junction of Ohio and Highland street, put on new

LOSS TO THE DEPARTMENT.
T h e d e p a r t m e n t lost a valuable m e m b e r and the city a
good citizen b y t h e d e a t h of J o h n D . Graffam, w h o w a s injured b y t h e explosion of a pony chemical Oct. 15, 1906, at a
fire in t h e P u r i t a n C l o t h i n g Co., Central s t r e e t ; also b y the
resignation of F r e d Q. Doble, W i l l i a m A. Cushing, David
W . Mackie, Jr., and Daniel Cook, w h o have been members
of t h e d e p a r t m e n t for a n u m b e r of years.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
I should r e c o m m e n d t h e purchase of 2,000 feet of hose,
1,000 to be double jacket, 1,000 single jacket. I also recomm e n d t h a t suction pipes be placed a l o n g t h e river front
178
[1907
where convenient, as at times, especially in winter, it would
be difficult to get your steamer suction in the water. They
can be put in at a small cost.
I hereby tender thanks to his honor, the mayor, the city
council, the committee on fire, the city electrician, superintendent of water works and heads of all of the departments
for their courtesies shown me in all transactions of business
connected with the department and especially to Chief of
Police White and members of his department for their great
assistance rendered in the line of our duty. Also the insurance agents for their promptness in forwarding fire
losses. I also thank the press for courtesies. I also thank
the board of engineers, the officers and members of the department for the promptness and willingness in attending
to duty at all times when called on.

Report of the City Engineer
Bangor, Maine, March, 1907
To the City Council.
The City Engineer herewith submits his annual report for
the year ending March, 1907. In the City Engineer's

REPORT OF THE CITY ENGINEER

BRIDGES.
The expenditures for this department have been for
necessary repairs and maintenance.
The expenditures on the Bangor and Brewer bridge
include the pay of a watchman who has made a part of the
repairs, as was the case during the preceding year.
The eight bridges over the Kenduskeag stream are in
good repair with the exception of Central street bridge.
The plank roadway and walks of this bridge are in good
repair, but the trusses and floor timbers supporting the
planking are not in sound condition, and in view of the fact
that the street car loads tend to increase, that other traffic
does not appear to decrease, that the present bridge will
have to be practically rebuilt within a year or so in any
event, and that there seems to be a desire on the part of
many citizens that the present wooden bridge be replaced
with a concrete and steel arch bridge of the same type as at
Franklin street, I renew the recommendation made in the
annual report of 1903, namely: That the advisability of
making this improvement be fully considered by the City
Council before appropriations for the coming year are fixed,
and before additional expenditures are made on the present
wooden structure.
During the past year the Maine Central R. R. Company
required the removal of the old toll-house at the Bangor &
Brewer bridge to make room for the new tracks and other
improvements now being established in that portion of the
railroad yard. These buildings were advertised and sold to
the highest bidder, and a small house or shelter has been
built for the use of the bridge tender and watchman stationed at this bridge.
At the Pushaw Road bridge important repairs have been
under way during the winter and are practically completed.

For the Water Department the Water system plan has
been brought up to date, and several sets of blueprint copies
of the stfme have been made; a water pipe line extension to
Mount Pleasant Cemetery has been surveyed, and an examination of the fishway at the Bangor Water Works dam with
the water inspector has been made to determine its condition or repair, etc. The result of this examination proved
224
[1907
to the Water Board that this fishway will have to be rebuilt during the Summer of 1907, temporary repairs having
been made during the past winter sufficient for the passage
of fish during the spring, until the work of rebuilding is
commenced.
Plans and measurements have been made, and attendance at court and testimony given in the following cases
where the city was interested. In the case of Nason vs. the
City, for alleged damage by drainage, and the case of
Persson vs. the City for alleged damage to the foundation
walls of his pottery building on account of the building of
Hellier street, placing earth against the same to the extent
of over-loading and crowding the wall practically to the
point of destruction, which case was referred to the law
court. Both cases resulted in favor of the city.
On the hearing of the writ of Certiorari in the case of the
Hayford Estate vs. the City of Bangor. This case was
taken to the law court by agreement. The writ was denied
and the action of the municipal officers in taking the property sustained. For further detail relating to these cases
reference is made to the report of the City Solicitor.
Surveys, plans, etc. have been made for the School Department for a masonry retaining wall at the York Street
school lot, the Center Street school lot and laying out buildings, and the Larkin Street school lot for changes and additions to the original school building.
For the Park Commissioners, tree lines were established
for new trees set out on Main street, the laying out of work
in finishing the Broadway Park contract, and the Summit
Park improvements.
For the Cemetery Board, the staking out of lots at Maple
Grove Cemetery, Pushaw Road, and the Oak Grove Cemetery, Finson Road.
A plan of lotting on Hammond and Wing streets was
made for the Assessors of Taxes.

Cesspools have been cleaned when occasion demanded,
the cost of which cleaning amounted to $2,190.60.
In order to complete the system of sewerage in the
westerly district of the city, I would recommend the completion of the Poor Farm sewer to Fourteenth street so as
to give an outlet to all the streets on the northwesterly side
of Hammond street. I also recommend the construction of
a sewer from Market street to Harlow street, through land
owned by Prentiss heirs. I would recommend the construction of the Holland street sewer and the building of
cesspools in several places in the city which would help in
keeping the streets dry.
The above stated recommendations, gentlemen, seem to
me to be most radically needed and if acquiesced in by you,
their fulfillment will be productive of great benefit, especially to those citizens whose health and property interests are
involved.

I desire to thank the Mayor, Treasurer, City Engineer,
Members of the Sewer Board and City Government for their
courtesy bestowed and co-operation with me in fulfillment
of their duties of office.

In r e g a r d to n e w e q u i p m e n t for the d e p a r t m e n t , would
say t h e r e is v e r y much need of a n o t h e r s n o w plow as we
have only enough for the r o u t e s and in case of a b r e a k d o w n
an extra plow w o u l d save m u c h time. T h i s d e p a r t m e n t has
six (6) R o a d Machines, five (5) for s u m m e r w o r k and one
(1) for w i n t e r work.
SPRINKLING.
T h e r e is v e r y much need of t w o (2) more double
sprinklers as the equipment n o w is n o t sufficient to cover
the t e r r i t o r y and give general satisfaction.
MACADAMIZING STREETS.
T h i s w o r k h a s been continued this p a s t s u m m e r and a
large a m o u n t of w o r k d o n e ; also, a n u m b e r of streets resurfaced. T h e rock used this season has been tested and
found nearly as good as trap-rock.
GARBAGE.
In collecting this t h e r e should be some o t h e r provision
made as t h e method n o w used does not give general satisfaction.
GRANITE CROSSWALKS.
A large n u m b e r of flag and concrete crossings have been
put in, all of t h e m of good w i d t h and paved w i t h granite
blocks.
PLANK SIDEWALKS.
W e h a v e replanked several of t h e m w i t h h a r d pine (2)
inch, which is a g r e a t i m p r o v e m e n t over hemlock, cost some
more b u t cheaper in t h e end.
T h i s has been a r e m a r k a b l y severe w i n t e r and t h e expense of k e e p i n g t h e s t r e e t s open has been s o m e t h i n g un-

REPORT OF THE CITY SOLICITOR
[l9°7
Report of the City Solicitor
To the Honorable Mayor and City Council of the City of
Bangor :
Gentlemen:—I hereby submit my report for the past
municipal year as City Solicitor:
DAVIS VS. BANGOR,
HELLIER VS. BANGOR,
PERSSON VS. BANGOR,
MITCHELL VS. BANGOR,
These are actions for damage to the residences of the
different plaintiffs on Patten street, caused by the overflowing of the sewer. The suits were entered in the January
Term, 1901, and the Davis case was tried in the October
Term, 1905, when, as I have mentioned in my previous
report, there was a verdict for the plaintiff of $192.60. The
case was argued at the December Term of the Law Court
at Augusta and a decision of that body, setting aside the
verdict of the lower court was returned in March, 1906. At
the October Term, 1906, all four cases were entered neither
party, no further action.
PERSSON VS. BANGOR.
This case also was mentioned in my previous report. It
was brought for damage to the buildings of the plaintiff
caused by the raising of Patten and Hellier streets, in the
year of 1903. The case was entered in the January Term,
1904. In the January Term, 1905, the evidence was taken
before the presiding justice and sent to the Law Court on
report, where it was argued at the June Term and a decision
in favor of the City was handed down in the month of
February, 1907.
1907]
CITY OF BANGOR
247
NASON VS. BANGOR.
This case was entered at the January Term, 1906. The
action arose on account of the culvert under Hersey Avenue
becoming obstructed and causing the water to flow back
on the premises of the plaintiff. It was tried at the April
Term, 1906, and the plaintiff was non-suited.
BANGOR VS. WEBB.
This was an action for pauper supplies furnished the defendant. It was entered at the October Term, 1906, and
was defaulted, the City recovering $120.84.
LAURA HAYFORD TR. & AL. VS. CITY OP BANGOR.
Those plaintiffs brought five actions against the City of
Bangor, as follows:
The first entered at the April Term, 1906, was an appeal
from an award of damages by the Municipal officers on account of a sewer crossing the land by the plaintiffs. The
amount assessed was nominal, $1.00. The plaintiffs, previous to this time, having paid a sewer assessment on this
same land, and the amount paid by them with interest,
amounting to about $400.00; by agreement the City was
defaulted for that sum at the January Term, 1907.
The second was a writ of Certiorari, asking the court to
quash the record and thereby annul the proceedings of the
Municipal Officers in taking the land of the plaintiffs foi a
library site. This was entered at the April Term and the
plaintiffs prevailed.
The third was an appeal from the award of damages of
the Municipal Officers for the land above mentioned. The
plaintiffs, being successful in having the taking of the land
made void, the appeal as a result was discontinued.
The fourth was another writ of Certiorari, entered at the
October Term, the City after the April Term, having again
248
REPORT OF T H E CITY SOLICITOR
[1907
taken the land. At the October Term the evidence was
taken before the presiding justice and sent to the Law Court
on report. It was argued at the December Term of the
Law Court and this time the City was successful, a decision
in its favor being returned in January, 1907.
The fifth was an appeal from the award of damages of
the Municipal Officers for the second taking of the land.
It was entered at the October Term, and is still pending.
P E R S S O N VS. CITY O P BANGOR.
This action was entered at the April Term and is an appeal from the award of damages of the Municipal Officers
for the taking of land for the extension of Parker street.
This action is still pending.
ADDITON VS. CITY O F BANGOR.
This plaintiff has two actions against the City; one for
damages caused to his property on Franklin street by the
overflowing of a sewer, the other is an appeal from the assessment of betterments by the Municipal Officers, occasioned by the widening of Franklin street. Both actions
are still pending.
H I L L VS. CITY O P BANGOR.
This is also an appeal from the assessment of betterments caused by the widening of Franklin street and is still
pending.
GILBERT VS. CITY OP BANGOR.
This was an action for damage to the plaintiff caused by
a defect in Broadway. It was entered at the October Term
and tried at the January Term when there was a verdict
against the City for $512.50. The action has gone to the
Law Court on a motion that the verdict is against the evidence.

once unsightly spot to one pleasant to look upon. An addition to this park, has been the construction of a small
pond, on a part of the grounds that nature seems to have
provided for such a purpose. What is now needed to make
this one of the most beautiful parks of the city is the planting of more trees of different varieties, and setting out
shrubbery; which we hope will be done in the near
future.
PLEASURE GROUNDS.
During the year, the City Council instructed the park
commissioners to set off a baseball ground for school children in such part of Broadway park as might be considered
best, which was done. But to what extent it has been used
by those for whom it was provided, there seems to be a
question. The commissioners are of one mind in regard to
the advisability of having play grounds for children, and
will do anything in their power to bring about such a result. We do not believe, however, that the combination of
ornamental parks and baseball grounds is conducive to
satisfactory results in either direction. Chapin, Davenport,
Whitney and Center parks, and Broadway Mall, have never
been more attractive than during the past season. And in
connection with Chapin Park, we wish to acknowledge with
genuine appreciation the generous contributions of exMayor Arthur Chapin.
SUMMIT PARK.
Attractive plans drawn by City Engineer P. H. Coombs
were adopted by the City Council. Work has been commenced under these plans, the sub-grading of the walks being already nearly completed. We also have on hand two
hundred yards of gravel with which to gravel the walks as
soon as conditions will permit this season. We hope to
see the heavy work on this park completed during the
present year.

REPORT OF PARK COMMISSIONERS
[1907
FORESTRY.
If we are to spare our beautiful shade trees, we are satis.fied that something decisive must be done towards the removal of wires from them at an early day. That the wires
are a dangerous element to the health and growth of the
trees, there can be no question, and we can see no remedy
but the removal of the wires from them.
In conclusion we are glad to be able to say that no city
in our state has shown a more progressive spirit in connection with its parks and forestry than has our own.
That
the improvements in this direction have added very materially to the wealth and beauty of our city, we feel vtry
sure; while there is a value that cannot be computed by
golden eagles, that of inspiring a love for all that is beautiful and good.

Report of the City Electrician
To His Honor, the Mayor, and City Council :
Gentlemen:—I herewith submit the annual report of the
City Electrician, for the year ending March 1, 1907.
There has been a large amount of work done in this department the past year. The fierce storms last Maixh,
which caused so much damage to pole lines throughout
Maine, made it necessary to practically rebuild all of our
pole lines. And with the exception of a few streets, it has
been done.
We have installed the past year 25 street lights, and
changed six street series to Arcs. This brings the number
to 397 lights on our streets at this time. We have also
wired buildings as follows: Pond Street school, Bower
Street school for Manual Training, cooking school and the
new Center Street schoolhouse, also rewired the Bangor
Public Library, the City building on Court street and the
City Hall, to conform to the rules of The New England
Insurance Exchange. And at this time practically all of
the buildings belonging to the city are lighted by the city's
plant, thereby saving the city at least $2,000 on incandescent wiring and lighting, making in all one hundred and
thirty-five (135), Killowatt of electricity used in the city
buildings.
In addition to our power for lights we are furnishing
power for Motors placed as follows: One 5 H. P. in school
for Manual Training, one 5 H. P. at Power station, and 4 H.
P. at sub-station on York street, making in all 14 H. P.
256
REPORT OF THE CITY ELECTRICIAN
[1907
The apparatus at the power station is in very good condition, with the exception of the shafting and boiler. The
shafting should have a thorough overhauling the coming
year. The boiler is old and to my mind unfit for the work
it has to do.
At the present time we regulate the increased load by
hand, and in switching on our street lights cause a great
fluctuation in our secondary voltage, which is very noticeable, especially at City Hall, making it very inconvenient at
the time of meetings or entertainments. And I would recommend the purchase of a voltage regulator for the switch
board; and governor for the water wheels to be installed at
the power station. This would give us perfect regulation.
At our sub-station on York street, the apparatus is in
very good condition. Our transformer capacity for street
lighting, (four hundred' lights), has been reached. We
have now three hundred and ninety-seven (397) on our
streets, and another transformer will have to be purchased
before we can install any more.
Our heating system at both the power and sub-station,
which is electric, is unsatisfactory, as it takes forty horsepower to heat the sub-station, and twenty-five at the power
station, which could be used to better advantage for lighting. And I would recommend a steam heating plant for
the sub-station, and also the power station to be heated by
steam from the boiler.
The Fire Alarm system is one of the most important
branches of the Electrical department, and for that reason
it must be in perfect working order at all times. So we
must employ the very best method of guarding against
broken or crossed wires, and to my mind the underground
system is the best. Since Jan. 8, 1906, our underground
cables have given perfect satisfaction, there being not one
minute of interrupted service.
1907]
CITY OF BANGOR
257
Our tapper system of over a hundred bells has had
very few interruptions, considering the number of miles of
wire it embraces. I would strongly recommend the placing
of all fire-alarm and tapper wires where possible under
ground; as it can be done in connection with the Police Signal System at one-half the expense that it would otherwise
cost. The Police Signal System, contracted for last
August, and which was delayed in shipment, has practically
all arrived and is, at present being stored at the sub-station
on York street. It will no doubt be installed as soon as the
frost gets out of the ground in the spring.
The inspection work, a branch of this department, was
dropped on the first of last November, as it cost this department some eight hundred dollars ($800) per year, without any returns, financially. And where I consider it a
great benefit- to the city, I think The New England Insurance Exchange should stand at least one-half the expense.
In closing this report, I wish to express my appreciation
for the kindness shown me, by His Honor, the Mayor, and
the City Government and especially to the Electrical Committee for their unanimous support. I also wish to express
my thanks to Mr. Andrew J. Robinson, my predecessor in
office, for his kind assistance, and to The Bangor Railway
& Electric Co., The New England Telephone Company,
and all the Electrical Contractors for their many acts of
kindness; and the employes of the Electrical Department,
for their willingness to work at all times.

Acting City Electrician.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH
[1907
Report of the Board of Health
To the Honorable, the Mayor, and the City Council :
Gentlemen:—The Board of Health presents its annual
report for the year ending March 8, 1907.
The board met for organization April 6, 1906. The
board consists as follows: Dr. C. H. Burgess, Dr. George
L. Hilton, George H. Wish. Dr. G. L. Hilton was elected
chairman and G. H. Wish, secretary.
Twenty-four meetings of the board have been held during the year. At the meetings the report of the secretary
upon business transacted since the previous meeting was
submitted and he was given instruction upon matters requiring the deliberation of the board; bills approved, regulations adopted and such other business, which are matters of
record. Several special matters arising from time to time
requiring the direct attention of the board have been considered and acted upon at the meetings.
The Board of Health is required by law to care for all
cases of contagious disease that may occur and be a menace
to our citizens, and to take every proper precaution for the
protection of the public health in all matters that may affect
it. This law is mandatory; the board has no choice in the
matter, and when a case of contagious disease occurs in any
institution or hospital or where the patient has no home
where he can be properly cared for without exposing others
or where his removal to the contagious hospital is requested, the board has to take him and care for him whether
it has an appropriation for it or not.
1907]
CITY OF BANGOR
259
It is well understood and admitted by every one that
it is hardly possible to foretell at the beginning of the year
what our experience with contagious disease will be, much
less to estimate what will be the expense of the same and
therefore up to the present time no appropriation has ever
been made for that purpose.
This is very unsatisfactory to the board and it respectfully suggests that as experience from year to year has
demonstrated in the past that we may expect more or less
expenses of this kind every year, an appropriation for the
purpose be made at the beginning of the year sufficient at
least to meet the incurred expense.
REQUIREMENTS OP THE DEPARTMENT.
CONTAGIOUS H O S P I T A L .
Since the enactment of the law making it obligatory for
the Boards of Health to care for cases of contagious and
infectious diseases and maintain one or more hospitals for
that purpose, the board is in very great need of some other
building than the present one at the City Farm, so that
more than one kind of disease can be accommodated there
at the same time; a building with better facilities than the
present one should be provided so that when it becomes
necessary to take diphtheria and scarlet fever patients there
at the same time with the possibility of having to bring
other patients there ill with the spotted fever or typhus
fever, when it is so occupied. It is not anticipated that
such a hospital would have to be kept open with the full
staff of nurses and attendants the year round, but only used
as the present building has been for the years past, as occasion requires.
The present building at the City Farm will have to have
a large amount of repairs done to it this spring, as the
whole lower floor will have to be taken out and new floor
260
[1907
timbers and sills be put in; as it is now, we have had to
strengthen the floors by putting shores under them.
INSPECTOR OF MEATS AND PROVISIONS.
We have no such office as Inspector of Meats in Bangor—the Queen City of the State—but the necessity of such
an office is of very great importance particularly as almost
every city of any size, and many towns, in this and adjoining states have an inspector of meat and the absence of one
here makes this city a desirable market place for dealers in
such a class of goods as would be detected and not allowed
in other cities. This can be accomplished either by an appropriation for the salary of such an official, when the Board
of Health would appoint one; or he might be appointed by
the Mayor and Board of Aldermen to work under the supervision of the Board of Health as the Inspector of Milk is to
be.
PLUMBING INSPECTOR.
We earnestly hope that the present incoming City Government will take from the table the Plumbing Ordinance
read at a regular meeting of the City Council in 1906, and
appoint a committee to investigate and see if something
cannot be done.
DUMPS.
In regard to public dumps, we would recommend that
the city purchase that part of William street between Sixth
and Seventh streets, which it does not already own and that
this land be used as a dump until the street is filled to its
proper level. The west side dumps are now in private
property and by doing away with these and concentrating
all refuse at the William street dump, the city would derive
the benefit of having the land filled in at practically no
cost.

CONTAGIOUS DISEASES. 1
SMALLPOX.
On the third day of November, Joseph Kelley, who was
released from the county jail, Sunday, Oct. 28, after serving
a sentence of thirty days, was discovered to be suffering
from smallpox and was quarantined at the house he was
in, No. 22 French street, to await further developments.
On Thursday, Nov. 8, two more cases were reported from
the jail, Amos Jones of Bangor and George Merrithew of
Stonington. They were immediately removed to the pest
house as was also Joseph Kelley from No. 22 French street.
On Nov. 12, one more case was reported from the jail, John
Morris, of Old Town, and he was removed to the pest house.
All of these cases were of a mild form and were discharged
from the pest house after being examined by Doctors
Burgess and Hilton of the board and pronounced entirely
recovered. Morris' sentence expired while at the pest
house, but Jones and Merrithew were returned to the jail
Dec. 17, and the pest house closed, since which time the city
has been free from that disagreeable, though not of necessity, dangerous disease.
Since the smallpox epidemic and general vaccination of
1901, the vaccination laws have been rigidly enforced and
should smallpox again appear in our midst, we believe our
city would be found as fully protected against its spread
as any community in the state, for while it is possible there
are some persons in Bangor who were never vaccinated, I
am satisfied the number is very small. Vaccination is provided free of expense at the office of the Board of Health
and school children are requested to produce certificates of
successful vaccination before being admitted to school, and
we are pleased to state that the teachers in all the schools,
public, parochial and private, scrupulously observe this
rule.

SCARLET FEVER.
W e t a k e pleasure in b e i n g able to report a substantial
decrease in the n u m b e r of cases of scarlet fever. T h e number of cases reported last year, t h i r t y - e i g h t w i t h no d e a t h s ;
this y e a r w e have t w e n t y - s e v e n cases to r e p o r t with no
deaths. W e would recommend the medical inspection of
schools to p r e v e n t the spread of all contagious diseases.
DIPHTHERIA.
T h i r t y - e i g h t cases w i t h t h r e e d e a t h s from diphthetia
is the record for this year as against five cases and one death
in 1905. T h i s s h o w s an increase in the rate of mortality
from this disease over the previous year.
By the liberal use of anti-toxin the d a n g e r and severity
of diphtheria is so lessened t h a t the death rate in cases
which occur is only a b o u t one-fifth of w h a t it w a s before
the discovery of anti-toxin. T h e remedy, if applied in time,
rarely fails to effect a cure and in all suspected cases of
diphtheria, physicians are advised to use it upon the patients
and for immunization of the m e m b e r s of the family. Antitoxin for the t r e a t m e n t of diphtheria is furnished by the
city free of expense and a r r a n g e m e n t s are made w h e r e b y
physicians can secure a supply at a n y of the d r u g stores
when t h e y apply in person or send a m e s s e n g e r w i t h a
w r i t t e n order.
CEREBRO SPINAL MENINGITIS.
T w o cases of this dread disease occurred d u r i n g the
year, b o t h of which proved fatal.
TYPHOID FEVER.
T h e n u m b e r of cases reported for t h e y e a r w a s thirtyfive. T h e board considers milk and w a t e r the t w o dangerous m e d i u m s for the conveyance of t y p h o i d fever germs,
and special a t t e n t i o n is g o i n g to be given t o a n y t h i n g t h a t

basin t o be constructed a t the p u m p i n g station, it is hoped
our w a t e r supply will compare favorably with any in the
state.
A milk inspector is to be appointed and with other laws
r e g a r d i n g the sale of milk in B a n g o r t h a t t h e board is framing, o u r milk supply will be second to none in the state.
WHOOPING COUGH AND MEASLES.
W h o o p i n g cough and measles are required to be reported b u t unless these diseases are severe enough to require t h e attention of a physician, or the child is old enough
to a t t e n d school, w h e n the teacher reports the case, we
rarely, if ever, hear a n y t h i n g about t h e m . F o u r t e e n cases
of measles and four of w h o o p i n g cough have been reported
to t h e board.
MISCELLANEOUS.
All regulations r e g a r d i n g the exclusion from school and
the isolation of persons ill with contagious diseases and :he
burial of p e r s o n s h a v i n g died of the same and the fumigation of t h e premises occupied b y such persons after death
or recovery as well as the isolation of all persons w h o had
been exposed t o a n y such disease, have been carefully
observed.
T h e r e have been reported to the board for the year ending M a r c h , 1907, thirty-eight cases of diphtheria with three
deaths, most of the cases being of a mild form. T h e r e have
been t w e n t y - s e v e n cases of scarlet fever; thirty-five cases
of t y p h o i d fever; four cases of w h o o p i n g c o u g h ; fourteen
cases of m e a s l e s ; t w o cases of cerebro spinal meningitis with
t w o d e a t h s ; five cases of smallpox, m a k i n g a total of one
h u n d r e d and twenty-five cases.
W h e n e v e r a scholar from a n y of the schools has been reported w i t h diphtheria or scarlet fever, the school room has
been p r o m p t l y fumigated and the books used by the scholar
destroyed.
264
[1907
Seventy-two houses have been fumigated and twentytwo school rooms have been fumigated. Nineteen houses
have been compelled to connect with the sewer. One house
has been closed as not being fit for occupancy. Thirteen
stables have been inspected. Two hundred and thirteen
complaints have been received. Nine dead dogs and thirteen dead cats have been removed from the streets and alleyways. The contents of one meat wagon condemned. One
well and one spring of water on Hancock street closed after
having the water analyzed at the State Laboratory of
Hygiene and they reporting it not fit for drinking purposes.
We wish also to thank the Mayor and City Council and
Officials for their kindness and assistance.

REPORT OF THE
Superintending School Committee
Gentlemen:—The Superintendening School Committee
hereby submit the annual report for this department.
H I G H SCHOOL F R A T E R N I T I E S .
Within a few years the subject of High School fraternities has assumed such importance that it has been discussed
by the press and by educational associations, and committees have been appointed for its investigation. The almost
unanimous verdict has been that such fraternities have a
bad influence upon the schools and are not conducive to
good scholarship nor good behavior among the members.
Such unfavorable reports came to your committee from
various sources, about the fraternities in the Bangor High
School, that it was deemed best to call the attention of
parents having boys in that school to the subject and ask
their aid in bringing about the desired reform. Your committee is unanimously of the opinion that such fraternities
are not proper in a public school.
In spite of the recent addition to the High School building more room was needed at the beginning of the school
year, and, as there will be an increase of about one hundred
pupils at the beginning of the next year, some means must
be provided for their accommodation or the work of the
school will be seriously impeded by overcrowding.
When the old High School building was burned, the
third story of the Union Square building was finished into
rooms for the temporary accommodation of the High
288
REPORT OF THE SCHOOLS
[1907
School. Since then these rooms have been used for the
lower grades. Pupils who are unfortunate enough to be
sent to these rooms are obliged to climb three flights of
stairs many times every day, which is not conducive to
either comfort or health, nor is it a safe place for so many
children in case of fire. If a wing should be built out from
the Fourth Street entrance the necessary room could be
obtained and the third story used for an assembly room as
originally designed.
The foundation for the new schoolhouse on Larkin
Street will be ready early this spring, and the necessary appropriation for the building should be made as early as
possible in order that it may be completed in time for use
at the beginning of the school year.
The epidemic of contagious diseases that has depleted
the schools this winter shows the urgent need of proper
medical inspection and supervision.
Your committee
would recommend that the superintendent of schools be
authorized to employ competent physicians for such inspection whenever a teacher reports a suspicious case in the
schools.
We would recommend that artesian wells be drilled in
the school yards at Elm Street, Pine Street, Cottage Street,
First Street and Center Street Schools.
For an account of the condition and progress of the
schools during the year, and additional requirements of
teachers and equipment, we refer you to the full and complete report of Mr. Tilton, the Superintendent of Schools.

Report of the Superintendent of Schools
To the Superintending School Committee of the City of Bangor :
Gentlemen:—In accordance with the law of the state, I
hereby submit my seventh annual report of the public
schools of Bangor—the seventeenth in the series.
This report, like its predecessors, will necessarily contain much that is already history to you, but which it may
be profitable to recapitulate at this time.
It will be my effort to call to your attention conditions
as I find and view them rather than to attempt platitudes
on educational subjects. I assume that we desire to know
home needs and do what we can to meet them.
School conditions for the past year have not been quite
so favorable as were those of last year. School attendance,
especially in the lower grades, has been much more irregular than usual on account of measles and whooping cough
during the fall, and many colds and throat troubles during
the winter, owing to the very severe weather and sudden
changes. Such irregularity can have but one effect on the
pupils' progress. Both teachers and pupils have earnestly
tried to close up the gaps and keep in line, but the ill
effects will show for some time to come.
It is of the utmost importance that parents as well as
pupils should appreciate the value of regular attendance.
The pupil who is scrupulously regular in attendance is almost invariably found to have a creditable standing in his
classes. The very fact that he is regular and methodical in
his attendance argues the co-existence of those qualities
which render him a desirable pupil in other respects. The
1907]
CITY OF BANGOR
291
evil of irregular attendance is a serious misfortune when
unavoidable—otherwise an inexcusable injury to the pupil.
The parent can and should be the most potent factor in its
cure.
The teaching force in your public schools is composed
of as earnest and efficient teachers as can be found in New
England in a place of this size and under like conditions.
They do not have the opportunities for an enlargement of
ideas and a widening of mental vision which is ever at hand
for those whose field of labor is near the large centres of
wealth and learning. Teachers in the State of Maine are
not paid large enough salaries to enable them to wander far
afield. They must subsist for fifty-two weeks while they
have work for only thirty-six.
Eleven of your teachers dropped out last June for various reasons. Some of these are married, others have accepted positions elsewhere and still others to take a needed
rest. Miss Cecilia Rice and Miss Alice Forsyth were
elected to the vacancies in the High school force caused by
the resignation of Mr. Brooks and Miss Stowell. Miss
Fannie H. Robinson was added to the High school corps as
a teacher of Mathematics. Mr. Thomas F. Taylor was
elected to the position of assistant principal at Union
Square to fill the vacancy caused by the transfer of Miss
Lewis to the Abbott Square School. The other vacancies
were filled by the transfer of old teachers to new positions
and filling the vacancies thus caused with girls who had
received their training in our training school for teachers.
These changes to a greater or less number occur every year,
and it is surprising how soon the ripples subside and things
go on as if these innovations had been the existing order of
things for weeks.
The reason for this is not far to seek. These new
teachers, thanks to their normal training and practice, have
a pretty good idea of what to do and how to do it. The
292
[l907
net result is very tolerable order from the start instead of
chaos.
HIGH SCHOOL.
I shall but briefly call your attention to a few features
of this school. With over five hundred pupils and offering,
as it does, four distinct courses of study, it presents some
rather puzzling problems. There are two problems ever
with us, viz.: Room and teachers. The building is
crowded to its utmost capacity at the present time.
It is capable of taking care of the present student body
only because an additional class room was made by enlarging the old principal's office at the expense of a portion
taken from the class room adjoining.
The commercial department is increasing steadily from
year to year, and the indications are that the same thing is
to. take place next year. The present head of the department, Mr. Ball, has to teach for seven shortened periods in
the time allotted for six periods of usual length. This plan
does not allow the pupils the time to which they are entitled, causes confusion by having periods closing at irregular times, and allows Mr. Ball no time to look after the
purely administrative work of his department.
The outlook in numbers for this school may be summarized as follows: The school will lose its present senior
class of eighty-four plus the natural dropping out in the
other three grades, and it must be prepared to take in and
care for a tenth grade next September of about two hundred and fifteen or twenty. The assistance needed in the
High school is a teacher proficient in bookkeeping and
elementary mathematics.
Look at it as we may, the fact remains that this school
is rapidly outgrowing its present quarters.
In this connection I would urge that the old Prospect
Street schoolhouse, now used as an armory and drill hall,
'9°7]
CITY OF BANGOR
293
be fitted up inside as a gymnasium where systematic drill
under a trained instructor can be given the girls as well as
the boys. I am of the opinion that such physical exercise
would be of more use to the general student body than the
present military drill.
I refer you to Mr. White's report for further information concerning this school.
GRAMMAR SCHOOL.
These two large schools, so closely connected in work
and management, have carried out their allotted part of
the Bangor school program in a way to retain your confidence in their administration. Here you find discipline
which approaches very nearly the invisible and yet is never
doubted. The work here, as elsewhere, has suffered in
some instances from illness among the pupils, but on the
whole is so excellent that it does not suffer in general comparison with that of other larger New England cities.
Palm-Street building has been put in excellent repair
during the past summer.
Union Square calls loudly for attention. Counting the
basement story one, we have a hundred and twenty-five
children on the fourth floor of the building where it was
never intended to have class rooms. These pupils have to
go up and down these stairs six times at least each day.
The building is ventilated only by the ancient expedients
of opening doors and windows.
A wing should be added to give three or four added
rooms so that boys and girls need not be asked to climb to
the third story even and some system of modern ventilation
instituted.
This question of enlarging and modernizing the Union
Square building is one which should receive serious consideration from the standpoints of hygiene and safety.

Below the Grammar grades the work has been done as
well as circumstances would, allow. It has been no unusual thing to visit a primary school whose enrollment was
forty or more and find not more than twenty or even less
present. Ask the reason, and the single word "whoopingcough" from a disgusted teacher, told the whole story. As
conditions have been, I think you may well feel satisfied
with the work of most of the teachers of these grades.
SUBURBAN SCHOOLS.
These schools have been kept in close touch with the
city grades by means of the same monthly outlines of study
and the same weekly examinations in the Grammar grades.
I visit these schools on an average, three times each term
and take that opportunity to look over the papers which
they have passed in and note the ranks which they have
received. These boys and girls enter the High school from
these schools and find not more than usual difficulty in
maintaining their places. Sometimes these schools send in
medal pupils.
I am sure that the young teacher who goes into one of
these schools and succeeds in it, is a better teacher afterwards for the Grammar grades than the one who enters at
once on her work in a primary grade in the city schools.
This is not a theory but a conclusion arrived at after long
observation.
KINDERGARTENS.
These schools are crowded with candidates on the waiting list. A new kindergarten is imperatively needed in the
Pearl Street district, while the new Larkin Street school
building will accommodate one long needed in that district.
The Division Street kindergarten will be transferred to
the new Center Street building by the first of next terra

where it has quarters ready for it second to none in the
city.
I refer you to the report of the Supervisor of Kindergartens for details.
TRAINING SCHOOL.
In my previous remarks, I have referred to the efficient
work of this school. That school approaches most nearly
to perfection, which, in the largest measure, qualifies its
graduates to get information for themselves and to learn
to do by doing. Judged by this standard I think you will
appreciate the work that this school is doing for those girls
who intend to teach.
The principal's report will be of interest to you.
MANUAL TRAINING.
This department is in a remarkably prosperous condition, thanks to your very broad and liberal policy toward it,
and the very able director whom you have placed over it.
You have added three new pattern makers lathes and one
machine lathe to the equipment this year. It is an inspiration to go into this busy place and see the complete devotion to the business in hand manifested by all concerned.
It is surely the beginning of a manual training High school
which would solve the problem of needed room in our
present High school.
Mr. Goodell should have as an assistant, some one who
could take charge of the boys in the simpler bench work.
In this way the work could go on, in a way, even during his
temporary absence. He needs this relief so that he can
give more attention to mechanical drawing in the High
school which he has developed to an extent hitherto unknown in Bangor schools. His report will show details
of the work done.

[l907
COOKING SCHOOL.
After the success of the sewing, you turned your attention to still another domestic need. A room at Abbott
Square was fitted up with gas range and individual gas hot
plates, with all the other requirements of a kitchen, where
the girls of the ninth grade were to be taught to do ordinary cooking in a practical way. In the sewing and cooking classes the girls are fully abreast of their brothers in
the manual training.
Here I would again urge in the interest of economy and
safety that the lower buildings in Abbott Square be connected with the High school heating plant. There is plenty
of heat, nearly all the time as it is, to heat these buildings
without the use of more fuel than is now used and the cost
of installing the simple direct coils around the walls of the
rooms, would not cost much more than the extra wood
burned for the first year.
WELLS.
"The City of Bangor never made a better investment"
is the general opinion of the citizens, when the subject of
the "school wells" is under discussion. They are called
"school wells" by courtesy because they are on school
grounds, but they are public wells, inasmuch as the water
used in the schools is but a mite compared to what the
general public takes from them.
They are a lasting testimonial to the administration
that appropriated money to make them possible.
We now have a well of absolutely safe drinking water at
each of the following schools: High school, Palm Street,
Pearl Street, Larkin Street, Union Square, Pond Street and
Bower Street. W e and the general public need three
others this year. One each at Elm Street, Cottage Street
and at the new school building on Center Street.

NEW BUILDINGS.
The new schoolhouse in the "Little City" on Center
Street, asked for last year, is an accomplished fact and
stands today as one of your most up-to-date homes for
school children in the city. We look forward to occupying
it next term.
In a few weeks the work on the foundation for the new
six-room school house on Larkin Street will be pushed to
completion and then we may look forward to being housed
in a thoroughly modern building in that section by this
time next year.
WRITING.
The change from vertical to slant in the handwriting of
the schools seems to be justifying itself. Pupils of all
grades are adapting their hands to it in a surprisingly ready
manner. It may be that some of the legibility of the vertical is still profitably apparent, but time wilL demonstrate
whether or not this legibility will disappear as the vertical
becomes a tradition with us.
MEDICAL INSPECTION.
Let us have some sort of medical inspection of the
schools. Anything of a regular nature to start with.
Once start it and there is no danger but what it will live
and grow. You cannot expect teachers to be expert observers of obscure physical defects. It is not their
province.
In closing I would extend my thanks to all my superiors
and coadjutors for helpful co-operation in the discharge
of my duties.
To your Honorable Board, His Honor, Mayor W. B.
Peirce and the City Council, I am grateful for a liberal and
broad policy towards the public schools of Bangor.

[l907
To the School Agent and Truant Officer I am indebted
for all that they have done in the interests of the schools.
To my teachers, who have done the work, often an unappreciated and thankless task, who have been patient, and
loyal to their best ideals, their schools and to me, I wish to
offer my sincerest appreciation.

Report of the Principal of the High School
To the Superintendent of Schools :
The year in the High school has been so much like other
years that there is little to say that is new. The total registration has been about 534, a considerable increase over
last year. The buildings and classes are crowded and if
there is any further increase in number, some additional accommodations must be furnished. Refusing to admit
scholars from towns which have High schools has lessened
the attendance somewhat. It might be well to consider
still further restrictions in this direction. I do not understand that we are obliged to receive tuition scholars and no
doubt some of those who come from other towns might
conveniently attend some other school.
Most High schools divide the day into five recitation
periods. We have six of 40 minutes each. When rooms
are occupied on four floors, classes can not be changed in
much less than five minutes so that the actual length of a
recitation period is 35 minutes. Obviously classes containing twenty-five or thirty pupils cannot receive proper attention in that time. There are many classes of that size in
school. There is urgent need of another teacher and I
wish the committee might employ a man. We have had
one less man the past year than for several years. Half the
teachers in a High school should be men. Women teach
as well as men, but boys of High school age need association with men.
I recommend promotion by subjects in the High school.
We are already doing this to some extent. Scholars who
300
[l907
fail in one study are required to repeat that study but are
allowed to go on in studies in which they have passed.
Making the school into classes by years causes trouble here.
A hard and fast four years' course is not adapted to a High
school. Scholars of all degrees of ability and attainments
enter the High school and one can see at a glance that trying to keep them together only works harm. Our courses
of study need not be changed but scholars should not be
classed at least for the first two years; pupils who have
sufficient credit might be admitted to the junior class. I
also recommend half-year promotions. It frequently happens that pupils who fail in the first half of the year are
dragged hopelessly through the last half year, when if made
to review, or take some other subject they might obtain half
a year's credit instead of failing in the whole year. None
of these changes would require additional teaching force
and we are ready with the approval of the committee to undertake them.
In regard to secret societies in the High school I agree
fully with the committee. I recommend that any boy who
hereafter joins one of these societies be debarred from representing the school in athletics and from competing for
any honors in scholarship and from holding any school office. It seems inexplicable that parents should allow boys
to join these societies when they know that they are universally condemned by those who understand the facts.
I have nothing to add to what I said last year in regard
to athletics except that I would earnestly request the committee not to allow anyone to coach or train any school
athletic team until he has been approved by them.
English history has been introduced having been taken
from the Grammar school by direction of the committee.
A small division has done good work in the subject. It
will be offered in the eleventh grade next year and there
is a prospect of large classes.
1907]
CITY OF BANGOR
301
W e have to thank the committee for a generous supply
of books of reference.
The arrangement with the public library has also proved
very satisfactory. The pupils have done more reading
than ever before. The officers of the library have our sincere thanks.
There has been very little sickness among pupils during
the year and much less dropping out of school than usual.
A class of 81 graduated last June and a class of 215 entered
in September. Good work has been done by the average
number of pupils and about as many as usual have shown
that they cannot or at least do not do High school work.
What to do with these last is a question that is always
with us.
Respectfully,
H E N R Y K. W H I T E ,
Principal.

Pupils who are preparing to enter college or scientific
schools have little choice in regard to studies. The requirements of the institution which the pupil is to enter, fix the
subjects to be taken. It is important that the choice of college be made as early as the beginning of the second year,
and pupils should then find out exactly the requirements for
admission to the college chosen.
It is the intention to offer pupils as free a choice in the
selection of studies as is consistent with a systematic arrangement of work. The courses laid down in the catalogue are to be regarded rather as a guide to the kind and
amount of work demanded, than as unalterable requirements.
Fifteen hours a week are required in the fourth class,
seventeen in each of the other classes, literature counting
seven.

The selection of studies is subject to the approval of
parents and principal, and whenever necessary, of the
superintendent. After studies have been selected, pupils
will not be allowed to make changes until permission has
been granted by the superintendent. The three upper
classes select their studies before the close of the preceding
year.
No credit will be given a pupil unless a study has been
pursued at least a year, or unless the amount required in
the course is completed.
A diploma will be given upon the completion of four
years' work.
The classes in languages are so arranged that the reading for the senior class is different on alternate years, and
in general, pupils who wish to take a fifth year can have
new work.
The school is provided with excellent chemical and
physical laboratories. Pupils who are to enter colleges
where such work is allowed as part of their preparation,
are strongly advised to take one year, at least, of science.
The Commercial Department has all necessary appliances, and offers thorough instruction in all the branches
taken in the best commercial colleges.

Any pupils who for any reason need extra work may, at
the discretion of the principal, be called to the High School
on Saturday morning.
Pupils from other towns may be admitted as tuition
students. The rate of tuition is one dollar a week.

Report of the Principal of the Grammar Schools
To the Superintendent of Schools:
In reporting the condition of these schools for the past
year, there is nothing of an unusual character for me to
bring to your notice. Throughout the year the same good
work has been performed on the part of teachers and pupils
as in former years, and the results of the year's work are
equally gratifying.
The average attendance, I am pleased to report, has
been very good throughout the year, although in some of
the lower grades many pupils have been obliged to remain
at home for long periods on account of whooping-cough,
mumps and very bad colds.
In trying to take precaution lest such contagious diseases spread in these large schools to an alarming degree,
we have excluded some children from attendance, and have
allowed others to remain in school whom a physician would
have, without doubt, dealt with differently. In such cases,
we can only exercise our best judgment. A medical examiner, I well know, would be able to decide such cases much
more to the satisfaction of parents and teachers.
There have been but few changes in the corps of
teachers during the year, and those who have come to us
as new teachers have carried on the work assigned to them
very successfully. Miss Emma F. Lewis, who has been assistant at Union Square, was transferred to the Abbott
square school at the beginning of the year and Mr. Thomas
F. Taylor was elected to the vacancy thus created. Miss
Annetta Hincks, whose failing health caused her to resign
her position as teacher of sixth grade at Palm street, was
succeeded by Miss Florence Pierce. The sub-primary
1907]
CITY OF BANGOR
313
grade in the Palm street building has been in charge of Miss
Margaret Mullaney during the year thus far. The former
teacher of this school, Miss Ethel Parlin, resigned her position at the close of last year's work.
That these schools are increasing in numbers is made
apparent from the fact that at the beginning of the present
school year, it was found necessary, in order to accommodate the pupils in the Palm street district with room and
seats, to open a new school at Abbott square to receive all
sixth grade pupils living in that section. Some rooms at
Palm street are still crowded, one in particular occupied by
first and second grades, registers fifty-two pupils, too many
foi one teacher to instruct successfully. The opening of
the new school building on Center street will, we anticipate,
relieve the crowded condition in some of the grades here.
Some of the rooms at Union square are also crowded and
should be relieved of this condition in some way.
The repairs on the building at Palm street, consisting
mainly of the repointing of the sub-structure and the rebuilding of the four gables, all of which was done during
the summer vacation, render the exterior in good condition.
For health, if for no other reason, I would recommend that
the ceilings of the schoolrooms in this building be kalsomined as they have not been cleansed since the building
was erected.
At Union square repairs have been made to the ceilings.
New steel ceilings have been put on in the halls and in all
school rooms on the two lower floors. This outlay has
greatly improved the appearance of these rooms and at the
same time made them safer to the occupants since the old
plaster ceilings were loose and falling and therefore dangerous. The needed repairs in this building now are new
hardwood floors to replace the old soft wood floors that are
badly worn, rough and unsanitary. W h y should not the
ventilation of this building receive some attention this year?
3M
[1907
Should not the children housed in this structure have as
pure air to breathe as the pupils of Palm street, Elm street,
State street, Valentine schools and others?
It would be greatly to the advantage of the work carried on at the Palm street building, where between eight
and nine hundred pupils are taught, if an assembly room
could be provided sufficiently large to accommodate all the
pupils of any one grade or about one hundred and fifty.
There is ample room on the third floor that could with small
cost be fitted up for the use of these schools. Such a room
would be valuable to the work especially for rhetoricals,
musical exercises, and readings as well as for many other
purposes. Many times it is desirable to have all the pupils
of a grade together for some work that is to be taken by all.
At the present this is not possible as each school room is
provided with chairs sufficient to accommodate the regular
occupants, and should we attempt to bring even two schools
together, half of the pupils must stand in the aisles.
I am very glad to be able to report favorably on the
work done by the teachers in the several grades with the
reading classes.
The improvement in this important
branch of our work is gratifying. The advanced standard
of admission to the grades, or rather the increased rank in
studies necessary for promotion seems to have created a
greater interest in individual work.
The interest in manual training and sewing continues
unabated. The excellent work done in these departments
is decidedly helpful and results in giving us stronger pupils
in the classroom.
Beginning the year, girls in the ninth grade have received instruction in domestic science for one hour each
week. Miss Weber, who has had charge of the sewing,
has instructed these girls in this new department.
There has been no change of text books in these schools
during the year. In the near future we should be provided
1907]
CITY OF BANGOR
315
with new grammars to replace the books now in use and
very badly worn.
In the ninth grade there are in these schools about two
hundred pupils. Nearly all of these boys and girls will
pass on to the High school at the close of the year's
work.
In my work throughout the year I am greatly indebted
to the school officials for their cordial support, and to the
teachers with whom I have labored for their hearty cooperation for which I wish here to express my appreciation.

Report of the Director of Manual Training and
Mechanical Drawing
Mr. Charles E. Tilton, Superintendent of Schools:
Dear Sir -.—This, the third year, has seen the same active
and healthy growth in the manual training and mechanical
drawing department as in the past. I trust we may continue to enlarge our course of industrial training that we
may still better meet the demands of the times for an education that will give decision, more force of character and
sound judgment to that ninety per cent, of boys who will
start upon their life's work upon leaving the Bangor
schools.
Most of these boys will find employment in Bangor and
it is for our interest to see that their minds have been disciplined and broadened that they may take that breadth of
view necessary to their advancement.
For such training the public schools have a decided advantage over both the trade school and apprentice system
as here the pupil has the mechanical training supplemented
with the higher mathematics and the cultural studies.
The handiwork in the first six grades is excellently
taught by the regular teachers under the supervision of the
drawing teacher.
Various materials are used and the aim has been to keep
the work instructive and interesting to the children and at
the same time to increase their deftness and breadth of
view.
The boys in the seventh, eighth and ninth grades have
continued on the same lines as heretofore.
Each boy does what he can and it is not a case of so
many models, but of industry versus indolence. In addi-
i9o;]
CITY OF BANGOR
317
tion to the course given in the Outline of Manual Training
each ninth grade class has chosen an article of furniture to
make as a class piece.
This will be a lesson in the sub-division of labor and
economy of effort. Three more wood-turning lathes were
added to the equipment this year to accommodate the class
in wood-turning from the High school.
The lathes are kept running practically all of the time,
thus, while one class from the grammar grades is at work,
another from the high school is at work on the lathes in
another room. An engine lathe was purchased during the
fall term and the boys set it up during the Christmas vacation. They are also building a work bench for the room
during their spare time out of school hours.
Those boys who have finished the wood-turning course
are now starting upon a course in machine tool work,
which will include the turning of iron and steel into various
forms, the cutting of threads and the making and assembling of light machinery and mechanical appliances.
Next fall we shall need more iron working machinery
for those who are now completing wood-turning.
I would suggest another engine lathe and a shaper.
The electric lights which were put in this year have
done their share to brighten the dark and rainy afternoons
and are appreciated by both pupils and teacher.
The mechanical drawing in the High school is optional.
All students taking it have forty minutes class room work
and two hours home work per week. Those desiring college credit do four hours' home work per week.
The short time in the class room necessitates a large
amount of outside work for both pupil and teacher. Outlines are arranged so that each pupil is taught individually
and allowed to progress as fast as he can. The course is
arranged to meet the needs of either the pupil preparing
318
[l9°7
for a trade or college and the aim is to teach from the concrete rather than the abstract. Working drawings, development of surfaces, isometric, oblique and perspective
drawing of various objects, boxes, parts of machinery, etc.,
are followed by drawings of some machine in detail and assembled. Architectural drawing is then taken up, the
pupils making plans, details and perspective of a two-story
and a half house and framing the house to scale in the
manual training laboratory.
More time in the class room would be a decided improvement and would especially aid those pupils who are
slow of comprehension.
It has been my endeavor to give the teaching of industrial work both breadth and depth.
I would thank the members of the School Board for
their co-operation and you for your never failing interest
and support.
I would also thank the principals, teachers, patrons and
local press who have all shown in their respective fields a
kindly interest.

Report of the Director of Domestic Science
To\CharlesE. Tilton, Superintendent of Schools :
The plan of the sewing during the school year is as follows:
For three years we have had the sewing in the Grammar grades, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth. In the first
year or sixth grades each scholar is supplied with a half
yard of print or calico, a thimble, needle and spool of
thread. Out of this material they make a bag to carry their
work to and from school. On this bag they learn the first
principles of hand sewing. This year, at the beginning of
the Fall term, the ninth grades, after making their cap,
apron and sleeves for their work in cooking, dropped all
sewing and took up cooking.
The work for the different grades in the three terms is:
FALL TERM
Sixth grade—Making work bags; learning the different
stitches, where and how to use them. Making white sewing aprons. Making Christmas gifts; learning the fancy
stitches, embroidery, outlining, hemstitching, etc.
Seventh grade—Making
simple
underwear—underwaists. Cutting and using patterns—hand-sewing entirely. Christmas gifts.
Eighth grade—Making suits of underwear—underwaists, drawers, petticoats and nightgowns. Use of patterns. Taking up machine stitching. Christmas gifts.
WINTER TERM
Sixth grade—Making simple petticoats; flannel or cotton. Learning to put on bindings and to fix plackets. To
make buttonholes.
1907]
CITY OF BANGOR
325
Seventh grade—Starting suits of underwear. Using
patterns. Beginning machine stitching.
Eighth grade—Finishing suits of underwear and starting shirt waists.
S P R I N G TEEM
Sixth grade—Darning and patching. Making fancy
work bags or starting an undergarment.
Seventh grade—Finishing the suits of underwear.
Eighth grade—Finishing waists and starting skirts.
Making fancy aprons.
•
By the end of the three years I expect each girl to have
made a suit of underwear, to learn to stitch on the machine,
darning, cutting and fitting a simple shirt waist.
We need a machine or two in each building. All the
girls are anxious to learn to use a machine and if we had
them in the schools it would save a good deal of time for
the girls and their mothers. In time I hope we may have
a room for the sewing classes furnished with machines,
chairs, cutting tables, etc.
COOKING
The kitchen at Abbott square was furnished and
equipped ready for use November third and on the next
Monday I started the classes in cookery. The classes did
not start their practical work in cooking at the beginning
of the Fall term so that the plan of work could not be followed. By the end of the school year I will expect my
classes to be able to plan and serve a simple five-course
dinner.
The ninth grades only have the cooking. These are
five classes averaging about twenty-five girls each.
The classes work at a large table in the form of a hollow
square, each two girls having a gas hot plate on which to
do all of their cooking except the baking which is done in
the gas range oven.
326
[l9°7
The first lesson was taken up by notes on washing
dishes, cleaning stoves and sink, getting used to gas range
and stoves.
The girls do individual work—two girls working together; each class having one lesson a week.
The receipts are dictated to them and copied into a small
note book by each girl. The entire receipts are given and
then reduced by them so as to make an individual dish.
For instance, they reduce a large receipt to halves or quarters.
From each class two girls are selected to act as housekeepers for two lessons. Their duties are:
i. To keep kettles on range filled with water.
2. To keep both supply shelves clean.
3. To see to the lighting and cleaning of range.
4. To wash any extra dishes.
5. To wash sink.
6. To keep cupboards in good order.
7. To keep towels clean.
8. To wipe off supply shelves and work-table after
class has been dismissed.
9. To see that all gas has been turned off.
The plan of work for the three terms is as follows:

1. Baked potatoes; mashed potatoes; creamed potatoes.
2. White sauce for vegetables; making of creamed

Report of the Supervisor of Training School
To the Superintendent of Schools :
It gives me pleasure to report that the Training School
has enjoyed a prosperous year. The enrollment is larger
than it has ever been before in the history of the school,
there being now thirty members.
On June 9, '06, a class of seventeen was graduated.
This was the largest class we had had up to that date. As
sixteen of the seventeen were already engaged in the regular work of teaching at the time of their graduation it was
feared that the preparation of class parts might take time
and attention from their more important duties to their
own schools. They were, therefore, allowed to have an address by some prominent educator instead of the customary
graduating exercises. They chose as their lecturer. Miss
Mary S. Snow, formerly of Bangor, now of Pratt Institute,
N. Y., who spoke to them in her own inspiring and inimitable manner, on "The Personality of the Teacher."
Fourteen members of this class were elected to teach in
the schools of Bangor during the current year. Of the
other three, one is teaching in a Massachusetts Grammar
school, another in an Intermediate school in Brewer, while
the third is supervisor of schools for the town of Veazie.
The reception of graduates of the Training School by
communities outside Bangor is nattering. Supervisors
who have employed one of our young ladies have in nearly
every case asked for others. Since last September requests
for seven teachers for schools outside Bangor have been
refused because there were no unemployed graduates to
take the positions.
Another gratifying feature in connection with the
present classes, is the eagerness of the pupils for real work
33Q
[I907
in the schools to which they are assigned for practice teaching, and the efficiency with which they perform the tasks
they are allowed to attempt. No amount of effort is too
great if only they may feel they are doing as well for their
classes as the regular teacher would do.
The supervisor of the Training School has since last
September made a hundred and fifty-seven visits to the
schools in which the pupils of the school have been employed. The practice work of each young lady has thus
been observed repeatedly, criticisms and suggestions offered where necessary and followed up by further observation to see that she understood and acted upon the hints
given her.
It may be said here that the value of the cordial, helpful and sympathetic attitude of the regular teachers toward
the pupils of the training classes can hardly be overestimated. To be allowed to work under the constant
supervision and inspiration of such intelligent, efficient and
faithful teachers as the City of Bangor possesses is an education in itself.
The work done in the Training School class room at the
Valentine building is along the same general lines as shown
in last year's report. A few changes have become necessary. The class meet now on six days of the week instead
of five as formerly, and the Saturday mornings which were
last year given to general cultural work have been given
over to a study of United States History with a view to
passing the final examinations at the close of the course.
The thanks of the school are due not only to the grade
teachers under whom the pupils practice, but also to the
Special Teachers for their uniform kindness and interest,
and for their valuable services.

Report of the Supervisor of Kindergartens
Mr. Charles E. Tilton, Superintendent of Schools :
The year's work in this department has proceeded along
regular lines. The teachers and children have been interested in their work, making the year both pleasant and
profitable.
Realizing that the efficiency of the kindergarten, as of
the school, is to a large extent measured by the attitude
of its teachers, the motto, "More Work and Better Work,"
was suggested at the opening of the school year as a suitable expression of the aim for the year. In order to work
in line with the motto, at least three things, it was stated,
were necessary; namely, that each teacher have ideals to
follow, that each be slow to excuse herself or give causes
for poor work, that each be concerned about merit.
It is an easy matter to fall into the way of thinking that
last year's successful lessons and talks will serve the needs
of the new year; one moment of serious thought proves
such a method false, for the kindergarten of this year is as
unlike the kindergarten of last year as one sister is unlike
another. True, the tools of the kindergarten—the gifts,
occupations and the like—remain from year to year; the
truths which they symbolize to the child, between four and
six years of age, are not to be reached by cut and dried
methods, therefore a wholesale use of last year's successful
program marks the teacher as unfitted for her work. Each
year the detail must be created anew, therefore "More
Work and Better Work" means new lessons and talks carefully prepared, in order that they may train each child to
think practical things, to do practical things, to increase
his fund of useful knowledge, to induce moral ideals, to foster a spirit of love and helpfulness, and thereby prepare him
for the next step in school life.

[l9°7
This leads me to say that there should be no "yawning
chasm" between the field of the grade teacher and the kindergarten director. We are doing all we can and as fast
as we can to bridge the last chasm. The average, fullfledged kindergarten child, and by that I mean the child
who has done two years of connected kindergarten work,
seems to slip into first grade work easily with one exception,—there must be some blackboard reading before first
grade work is entered upon. In this respect, as in others,
he soon far outstrips the sub-primary neighbor who has
come directly from the home, due plainly to the fact that
his powers of observation, his ability to compare forms and
his vocal training do not leave him blind, deaf and dumb to
the mechanical side of reading. Half-year promotions
would be of benefit to this child; in the absence of such a
plan, it seems almost necessary to make special arrangements for him, in order to save him from the discouragement and inattention to work which is likely to come from
too little to occupy his mind in the sub-primary, and on the
other hand, avoid the strain which might result from doing
extra reading. However, too little work is better, at this
early period, than too much. It may prove wise to give
fifteen minutes, or one-half of the occupation period, during
the last ten weeks of the second year to blackboard reading,
thus making it possible for the kindergarten child to practically enter first grade the following September. Should
this prove desirable, the kindergartners will heartily cooperate with the grade teacher, and will gladly qualify for
the work.
The kindergarten child of two years' training knows by
characteristics, vertical, horizontal, slanting and curved in
lines; square, oblong, triangle in planes; right, sharp and
blunt in angles. In fact he has quite an extensive knowledge in form, color, size, balance and the like; he may not
1907]
CITY OF BANGOR
333
always be able to give the name, but we are not living in
the age when words stand before things.
His daily work with blocks, sticks, rings and beads
makes him acquainted with number combinations to five,
sometimes eight; in advanced gift work he has experience
with halves and quarters. His hand is also trained for
writing, therefore he seems quite ready for grade work.
I wish to call your attention to a paragraph in the report of Dr. William H. Maxwell, superintendent of schools
of the City of New York. "Observation in the lower
primary grades and a short primary course are now considered essential elements in the training of the kindergartner,
in order to prevent that isolation which formerly hampered
her. For similar reasons the advisability of a short kindergarten course for the elementary teacher is recognized in
some of our "State Normal Schools." Having long felt
and preached the advisability of such a course I recommend that, in the future, the young woman qualifying for
kindergarten work in Bangor, be required to practice in the
lowest grade the last term of her second year of practical
work. Such a rule would serve to correlate quite satisfactorily the kindergarten and primary work.
Mothers' Meetings and calling in the home are as vital
a part of a kindergartner's work as ever, and always will be
from the standpoint of the best humanitarian education.
We have not been negligent in the performance of these
duties.
Because teachers need to renew the sources of their own
inspiration, we hold monthly meetings for study in addition
to occasional grade meetings for conference.
With genuine pleasure I record the transfer of the kindergarten from Division street to the room planned for it
in the Longfellow school on Center street. Upon the walls
of the new room hangs an exceptionally beautiful picture
of the Sistine Madonna, a gift from the mothers of the
334
[l9°7
children last in attendance at the old Division street room.
The Longfellow Kindergarten is also the grateful recipient
of three large pictures presented by an old friend, the Bangor Kindergarten association.
Let me mention here the fact that a recent article by
Calvin Cady, suggesting means of improving kindergarten
music, has created considerable interest in our midst. In
the future I shall have more to say in regard to singing, and
the success we hope to secure along the lines of pure intonation and pure quality of voice.
In closing I wish to heartily thank you and all who so
generously support our work.
Respectfully,
N E L L I E E. BROWN,
Supervisor of Kindergartens.

In making the appropriation for buildings, the condition
of some of the school buildings was not taken into consideration.
The gable ends of Palm Street school were taken down
and rebuilt. New gutters were put on the High school, the
walks concreted, the lawn built up and seeded, hard wood
floors laid in two rooms and the office made larger to be
used as a recitation room.
The lower buildings at Abbott square were extensively
repaired; one room made into a cooking school. All the
artesian wells were drained and charged to the building department. Steel ceilings were put in all the rooms and corridors at Union Square school. New closets at Pond street.
Slate blackboards were put into all the schools in the city
proper.
The new school on Center street is considered to
be the best school in the city for the money expended.
Considerable repairing has been done on all the fire stations ; the retaining wall at Hose 5 has been taken down and
rebuilt, the entrance concreted and the hall finished for use
for meetings of the company.
A new roof has been put on Hose 3, a bell tower built
on Hose 2 and a new boiler at Hose 1.
New gutters were put on the Poor Farm buildings, the
retaining wall repaired and 300 yards of earth removed
from the Electric Light station on York street, to make
room for a store house which was built there this year.
Larkin Street schoolhouse was moved back into the
yard to make room for the new school to be built next
year.
338
[l907
All the buildings are in good condition at the present
time.
In conclusion, I take this occasion to thank the Mayor,
the Superintendent of Schools, the Committee on Schools,
and Committee on City Property, for the assistance rendered to me in the discharge of my official duties.

(To the tune of "Fair Harvard ")
We must leave life's calm river to enter life's sea,
The parting now comes to us here;
O ever these partings in life there must be,
For schooldays pass swiftly, though dear.
Chorus.
Oh, farewell we must say, farewell to each friend,
To the classmate we've known all these years;
For now is approaching the time when must end
The dear schooldays—and not without tears.
Then we'll enter our new life with courage and cheer
As we gaze down its lengthening way,
And take up the work that comes with each year
And the duties that dawn with each day.
Let us ever remember in sorrow or joy
The four years we have passed with such gain;
Let them e'er be a bond that naught can destroy
But let all the dear mem'ries remain.
Chorus.

The clouds have all departed,
Departed with the night,
And Spring is coming onward,
With all her joy and light.
The air is full of music,
The morn is pure and clear ;
Arouse thee, then, and bring thou
A song for Spring to hear.
While gayly wave the tree-tops,
While race the winds along,
Be thou today out-pouring
Thy loud and cheerful song.
Up, up, give forth thy music,
To listening heights declare ;
Both heart and voice arousing
This world of Spring how fair.

INSTRUCTION T O TEACHERS IN REGARD
T O CONTAGIOUS DISEASES
MUMPS.
This is a contagious disease, and.occurs chiefly in childhood, youth and early manhood. About twelve days after
the child has been exposed to mumps, he will begin to complain of tenderness in the depression immediately under the
lobule of the ear, and this will be followed by swelling in
the same place. This swelling is firm but slightly elastic,
and presses the lobule of the ear outward. It gradually increases for a few days, then remains stationary a short time
and then declines. The total duration of the disease is
from eight to ten days.
In most cases the swelling occurs
on both sides. If only one side has been affected, the disease
may occur at some subsequent period. The left side is
usually the first affected. As it requires twelve days from
the time of exposure before the disease manifests itself all
the children from the family where the disease exists should
remain from school at least two weeks after the disease has
disappeared, unless the first one who takes it is at once entirely separated from the others.
W H O O P I N G COUGH—"CHIN COUGH."
This disease is highly contagious.
Most cases occur
between the ages of one year and eight years, but it occasionally occurs in adult, and even old people who have not
been attacked previously. It is in nearly all instances, if
not in all, contracted by inhaling the breath of the patient,
and is not, so far as I can learn, ever carried by a third person. Hence, only those who actually have disease need be
kept out of school. This disease usually lasts from two to
358
[l9°7
three months. It comes on in about ten days after exposure. As the breath is the great source of contagion,
children should not be allowed to return to school until
they are entirely free from the spasmodic cough.
CHICKEN-POX.
This is the shortest and mildest of eruptive fevers. It
is highly contagious, so that few children escape who are
exposed to it. The disease begins about fifteen or seventeen days after exposure. As it lasts only one week usually, and never of itself endangers life, nor seriously incommodes the patient, it is not necessary to exclude from
school any except those actually having the disease.
MEASLES.
This disease is highly contagious, usually through the
air; though it may also be communicated by the breath,
and has sometimes been carried long distance upon articles
of clothing and thus given to others. From twelve to fourteen days elapse from the time of exposure to the commencement of the eruption. This eruption usually begins
upon the forehead and neck, then the face, and then goes
over the body. The fever reaches its height about the
sixth or seventh day. The whole course of the disease is
about two weeks.
Children who have measles, and those in a family where
measles have appeared, should not be allowed to return to
school until two weeks after the rash has disappeared.
SCARLET FEVER.
Other common names for this disease are scarlatina,
scarlet rash, scarlet fever and canker rash, but they all
mean the same disease.
This is one of the most frequent and fatal of the contagious diseases. It occurs most frequently between the
ages of three years and ten years. Most adults possess im-
1907]
CITY OF BANGOR
359
munity from scarlet fever although they may not have had
it in childhood. The disease usually manifests itself from
three to eight days after exposure to it, though it has been
known to begin in twenty-four hours. It presents in a
marked degree the distinguishing characteristics of the infectious maladies. It is highly contagious. It is disseminated by exposure to patients and may be carried by clothing. The virus of scarlet fever possess such remarkable
vitality that it may remain about a room or be carried by
clothing for many months. Therefore particular care
should be taken about disinfecting the rooms in which the
patients have been sick with scarlet fever, and all articles
of clothing that may, by any possibility, have been exposed
to contagion, before children should be allowed to return to
school.
As the distance to which the disease is contagious is
short, probably not more than two or three yards, it is often
possible to limit it by isolating the child first attacked and
allowing no communication with the nurse. In this way
the other children often escape. A convalescent child
should not be allowed to mingle with other children till
three or four weeks have elapsed, and then only when the
room where he was sick and all clothing that has been in
it or upon him has been thoroughly disinfected. But if the
sick one be properly isolated, or the others of the family be
sent immediately to another house to live for the time he is
sick, those who are well may, after three or four days, be
allowed to return to school.
DIPHTHERIA.
Although the disease has been known to physicians for
many centuries, it is only within a comparatively short
time that it has been considered to be contagious. It may
be imparted to others by a person actually, or lately suffering from it. It may also be carried by a person not actual-
360
[l9°7
ly affected by it. The germs of this disease seem to have
an especial affinity for the walls of rooms, and may attach
themselves to clothing and articles of furniture. They may
also enter the system through the air, through the food and
through the drinking water. The disease usually begins in
from two to eight days after exposure, but sometimes the
germs remain about the person for weeks before the complaint makes its appearance. It most often occurs between
the ages of one year and fifteen years. In a majority of
cases one attack is a protection against future occurrence.
As soon as a case of diphtheria occurs in a family, all the
children of that family should be at once excluded from
school and none should be allowed to return until two
weeks after the membrane has disappeared from the throat,
and then only after a thorough disinfection of the house and
the clothing. It is a good plan for those who have been
exposed to diphtheria to gargle the throat occasionally with
a solution of carbolic acid and lime water, of a strength of
twenty drops to the ounce.
DISINFECTION.
One of the readiest and most efficient means of disinfecting a room in which an infectious disease has occurred,
is to burn in it half a pound of sulphur, and leave the smoke
in it for twenty-four hours, having the doors and windows
closed. Then, if possible, the room should be thoroughly
cleaned and newly papered and whitewashed. Articles
that have been used about the patient, such as sheets, etc.,
should be soaked in a solution of eight ounces of sulphate
of zinc, one ounce of carbolic acid and three gallons of
water before being boiled and washed. Articles that cannot be washed should be sprayed with a solution of carbolic
acid, one part to forty.
