NORTH SHORE BREEZE 19 
Former Manchester Teacher. 
Aaron B. Palmer, former principal 
of the Manchester high school, has 
attracted much attention in Somer- 
ville by the system of dismissing 
school and by the eight-piece orches- 
tra which he has organized among the 
children. Last spring Manchester 
people had the privilege of enjoying a 
concert given by Mr. Palmer’s orches- 
tra which he organized in his Lynn 
school last year. The Boston Journal 
says: 
Pupils, marching four abreast, in 
perfect step, with hands at side and 
heads erect, to the music of an eight- 
piece orchestra, is a sight that is daily 
drawing crowds to watch the dismis- 
sal of the Highland grammar school 
in Somerville. There are 600 of them. 
A. B. Palmer, the new principal 
of the school, has started a reform 
in the dismissal methods in his city. 
The ordinary methods of dismissal 
now in vogue is to get the pupils in 
line as far as the door, where pande- 
monium promptly breaks loose. Mr. 
Palmer has now organized in his 
school one of the cleverest child or- 
chestras in New England. It is com- 
posed of two at the piano, two violins, 
two boys at the clappers, a cornet, 
and a drum and triangle. 
The school marches out in divisions, 
and has a hundred-foot march from 
the door of the school across a con- 
crete yard to the main street. 
That State Highway. 
It will be a matter of interest to 
- North Shore folk, especially those 
who own automobiles or are fond of 
long drives, to know there is a well- 
defined movement on foot for the 
completion of the already well estab- 
lished road system from Beverly to 
Gloucester, through Salem to Swamp- 
scott and Nahant. 
A conference was held in the office 
of Mayor Peterson, at Salem, Monday 
afternoon, between the Mayor, repre- 
sentatives from the Board of Trade 
and Merchants’ association and W. 
D. Sohier of Beverly, the last named 
representing shore residents. These 
residents wish a better way through 
Salem to get back and forth from the 
Swampscott-Nahant summer colony 
to the North Shore colony, and they 
are desirous of having a boulevard 
from Beverly bridge to Webb street, 
along the shore of Collins cove. 
A plan of the proposed route was 
presented, which provides for a 60- 
foot way. It is thought that the 
State highway commission might do 
something to assist in the construc- 
tion of this way, as it has never spent 
a dollar in Salem to speak of.
