Report of the Superintendent of Schools
To the School Committee of Melrose,
Ladies and Gentlemen :-
The following report of the public schools of the city is respectfully submitted for your consideration. This is the twenty-seventh in the series of annual reports by the Superintendent of Schools and the eighth by the present incumbent.
During the past seven years Melrose has had a rather remarkable development as a city. It is unnecessary to remind any resident of Melrose, in detail, of the many changes which have been accomplished. They are to be seen on every hand and have become an integral part of our life. But deeper and more significant than the physical improvements themselves is the vital awakening of a civic sense and a community spirit which means more to Melrose than all the rest. It is this spirit which I believe will demand for the children of Melrose, greater opportunities than we now offer.
During this period of expansion and improvement, our schools have not kept pace with the rapid strides of our city.
The Melrose School Committee is a progressive body, but it has been forced to take an extremely conservative attitude because of the financial condition of the city and the increasing tax rate. In this they have shown good judgment and a proper regard for the immediate exigencies of the city. Little has been added to the curriculum. All our time and efforts have been spent, first, in entrenching our schools strongly in the fundamentals of our traditional and academic education. In this respect the work of Melrose schools to-day can stand with honor beside that of any other Msasachusetts city or town. Secondly, we have perfected an organization in which every individual has ample scope for personal initia- tive, yet in which the whole force is driving ahead as one compact machine, animated by the same spirit and the same purpose,-the best good of all the children of Me'rose.
But the time has come when Melrose cannot afford to allow the further development of her schools to lag behind the general advancement of the city. A modern system of public schools is one of the greatest incentives to permanent residence, and the best advertisement to attract the type of citizen which Melrose desires.
It is not the wish of the School Committee or of the Superintendent to urge upon the community an improved system of schools or increased expenditures, without justification, and, since these are the public schools, permanent justification can be found only in the real desire and continuous support of the people.
This support has been given in generous measure up to the present. Will it continue to be given if it is found that our schools are not measuring up to the new standards of the community?
The only way in which this can be definitely determined is by the recommendation by the School Committee of a sufficient budget to being
22
CITY OF MELROSE
the development of a system similar to that of other suburban cities and commensurate with the high ideals of the community. The answer must be given by the electorate, through their representatives, His Honor, the Mayor, and the Honorable Board of Aldermen, who alone have the power of appropriation.
CAN MELROSE AFFORD BETTER SCHOOLS?
The definite statement can be made that Melrose is not expending upon her schools an adequate amount in comparison with other cities and towns in the Commonwealth.
According to the latest report of the State Board of Education, just issued, Melrose stands number twenty-three in the amount of her tax rate per $1,000 of valuation, yet in the amount of that tax which she expends upon the schools, Melrose stands number 174, among 36 cities and 217 towns, and in the amount per pupil, number 173.
Furthermore, the amount expended throughout the State for support of schools, in the last ten years, has increased sixty-seven per cent. The increase in Melrose, during the same period, is eight per cent. Mean- while our High School, which is the most expensive department, has increased its enrollment from 500 to 700. Is this extravagance?
The School Committee and the whole department have worked earnestly and conscientiously for the perfection of the present system. We know the results are good. But we also know, as the citizens cannot, that, while our schools as they stand provide for the needs of a large proportion of our children, yet there is a considerable number who are not deriving the benefit they should from the present system, and are leaving its care altogether between the ages of fourteen and sixteen. These children have as much right as the others to the kind of school they need. Is it not our duty to provide for them the practical training which their future demands?
To this end the system of physical education already installed should be continued, and extended to the High School. Pre-vocational training for our boys should provide for larger numbers and better equipment. Sewing and cooking should be offered our girls in the upper grades and very practical courses in domestic science and economy, home-making, home sanitation, dressmaking, millinery, and such other occupations as our young women may desire to enter, should be offered in our High School.
MELROSE TEACHERS
Is it not further our duty, and not merely our duty but conservative business policy, to make further provision for our teachers, to the end that they may continue to work whole-heartedly and contentedly, in the most important enterprise conducted by the city? Our teachers are earnest, conscientious, loyal and efficient. They give of their best to our children and to the community. Yet out of a list of forty-five cities and large towns in Massachusetts, all but eight are paying more to their
23
SCHOOL REPORT
grade teachers, all but two are paying more to their women assistants in the High School, and nearly all of these are even now planning still larger salaries. Melrose can not longer afford to lose her best teachers, or frequently to disrupt a strong organization.
The average increase for school expenses throughout the State for the past ten years, as has already been noted, is approximately seven per cent a year. In Melrose it has been less than one per cent. If our schools could have the average increase of seven per cent this year, and one-half of that for two or three years longer, the School Department would be in a position to make the necessary additions to its equipment and teaching force, and to satisfy our teachers in their salary requirements. In view of the conservative increases in the past few years, and the increasing valuation of our city, it seems only fair that our children should receive further consideration in the distribution of the tax rate. For the last school year, Melrose schools received $5.57 on each thousand dollars of valuation. If not more than $6.00 of the tax rate could be assigned to this department, the needs of the schools on a modern basis, would be provided for.
FIRE PROTECTION
There is one other matter, discussed in our last report, which I feel should receive the most serious and immediate consideration by every parent and citizen. I refer to the fire hazard in our schools! I realize that action on the report of the School Committee has been delayed in this matter because of the impending law which will make it possible to provide for its financing by the issuing of long term notes, and while we do not desire to force the hand of the higher authorities, it is, nevertheless, a matter of immediate and vital necessity. Basement ceilings, which are now for the most part open and exposed, should be covered with wire lath and hard plaster. Exits should be supplied with panic bolts. Fire extinguishers should be supplied all buildings. Automatic sprinklers should be installed in a few extra hazardous locations. At the Franklin School an extra exit has been ordered by the District Police, extra stairs should be built at the east end and the central stairway abolished. The Gooch School, because of its construction, should be at once supplied with a fire-escape at each end. Should a fire start in this building so as to cut off either staircase, the children in the two rooms at that end would be in great danger.
The hands of the School Committee are absolutely tied in respect to these items until funds are furnished for the work. Meanwhile every endeavor is being made to guard against the dangers of incipient fires, and to train our children to leave the buildings quickly and in an orderly manner.
In closing this brief report, I wish to repeat what I have often said, that the conditions of life in Melrose and of work in her schools, are pecul- iarly happy. Such pleasant relations and such a spirit of confidence,
24
CITY OF MELROSE
between the School Committee, the Teachers, the Honorable Board of Aldermen and the community, are extremely rare, and if this report seems to unduly urge the needs of our schools, it is not because of forgetfulness or a lack of appreciation of those conditions, but because of a real desire for the advancement of our city, and larger opportunities for our children.
Respectfully submitted, JOHN ANTHONY, Superintendent of Schools
IN SCHOOL COMMITTEE, January 22, 1917.
