School Committee
January 14, 1946.
To the citizens of the Town of Hatfield :
Your school committee submits herewith the annual report for the year ending December 31, 1945. Ten regu- lar and seven special meetings were held during the year.
School Equipment of Vital Importance
Having good schools depends, first of all, upon having good teachers, but modern teachers, regardless of superior competence, can be greatly handicapped by lack of the proper modern teaching equipment.
The past decade has seen remarkable advances in the variety of uses to which equipment can be put to increase the effectiveness of the teaching and consequently of the learning process.
Many of our young men, returning from the army and the navy, can testify regarding the efficiency of some of the newer teaching aids and how they make more last- ing the information and the understandings concerned in teaching and learning.
The things about which we speak are not luxuries ; they are actually aids to better teaching. Generally speak- ing, these aids include audiovisual equipment, reference materials of a varied nature, equipment to enhance the teaching of science, and certain other items basic to the proper furnishing of the school and the classrooms.
80
During the war, much of this material was wholly unavailable and schools, like other institutions, had to get along with the equipment at hand.
Now that the war is over, the School Committee of Hatfield is making plans to furnish such equipment in our schools as is consistent with improving the instruction, supervision, and administration therein.
Dr. William S. Vincent's review of the New York State Educational Conference Board's pamphlet, "What Educa- tion Our Money Buys", contains the following pertinent statement :
"It has been found that schools which have some- where near adequate sums to spend (for teachers' salaries, equipment, supplies, and special services) ex- hibit characteristics more nearly in line with 1945 conceptions of the learning process and the needs of society. These characteristics are revealed in the Educational Conference Board's pamphlet. ... which distinguishes the programs and services of schools which spend $115 per pupil with those which spend only $75 per pupil on the one hand, and those which spend upwards of $150 per pupil on the other.
When we look at the group of schools whose per pupil expenditure begins at $115 and ranges upward, we see emerging certain patterns of practice which exemplify an understanding of the newly developing science of psychology and a modern conception of what schools should be used for in a democracy."
In this light, your committee believes it significant that the per pupil cost of Hatfield education for 1944, the latest year for which figures are available at the writing of this report, was $121.06 per pupil.
81
Heating Problem at the Center School
For some years the heating of the Center School, es- pecially during near and below zero weather, has been a problem. Early in 1945, the superintendent called to our attention that on certain cold, still days it was extremely difficult to heat the classrooms of the school. He sug- gested that either the condition must be alleviated or the school should be closed on those days when the temperature of the rooms was not high enough to be well within the margin of safety. The present situation, the superinten- dent said, constitutes a menace to the health of Hatfield school children.
Upon learning of this condition, the school committee instructed the superintendent of schools to consult an heat- ing engineer to determine what steps to take in order to correct the existing conditions.
Mr. Bristol complied with his instructions and brought to the committee a report which recommended, in essence, the doing of three things. They were:
1. To use larger coal or coke in the hot-air fur- naces.
2. To insulate the open attic of the school.
3. To weatherstrip the windows.
On the basis of this information the committee moved to comply with the recommendations.
Coke was ordered for use in the hot-air furnaces.
Separate bids for insulating the attic and weather- stripping the windows were called for and received.
82
After careful study the committee awarded the con- tracts, and the work was done.
This work has helped greatly in the matter of con- serving heat inside the building, but it does not change the furnaces which are old and inefficient. We still have a serious heating problem.
In conclusion the school committee wishes to state that the tax payers are still maintaining a very inefficient heating system in this building. There are at present five separate furnaces used to heat the Center School, and your school committee sincerely believes that some money could be saved the taxpayers if one, or at the most, two new furnaces were installed. It most certainly is a problem that would bear further investigation.
Changes in the Teaching Staff
On June 2, 1945, Mr. John Jakobek, teacher and coach of boys' athletics in the high school, resigned to accept a similar position in the Essex (Connecticut) High School.
Mr. John F. Symancyk of Springfield was elected to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Jakobek's resignation. Mr. Symancyk (B.S., New York University) assumed his new duties in the Hatfield High School on September 5, 1945.
The resignation of Miss Katherine I. Hayes, teacher of the fourth grade in the Center Elementary School, was accepted by the committee on October 9, 1945, and became effective on December 1, 1945.
Upon the recommendation of the superintendent of schools, the school committee asked Mrs. Hilda Fortsch to complete the unexpired term of Miss Haye's service. Mrs. Fortsch consented to serve and she assumed the responsibility on December 1, 1945.
83
The School Committee of Hatfield is deeply indebted to Mrs. Fortsch for consenting to render this service. Mrs. Fortsch discontinued regular teaching some years ago, but she has continued to help out when she has been needed. We feel that Mrs. Fortsch does this as a public service and more especially as a service to all of the school children by whom she is so well liked.
School Buildings Returned to Town
For the purpose of having a printed record, it seems well to report at this time concerning the turning back to the town of certain of the school buildings which will no longer be used for school purposes.
At a special meeting, held on February 5, 1945, the school committee voted to give over to the Hatfield Board of Selectmen the properties, consisting of land and build- ings, known as the Bradstreet, West Hatfield, and North Hatfield Schools.
On November 20, 1945, the school committee held a special meeting to consider a request by the Hatfield Vet- erans' Association : namely, that the School Committee of Hatfield turn back to the Selectmen of Hatfield the Hill School property in order that the property be made avail- able to the veterans.
In consideration of this request, the School Committee of Hatfield, on the same date, voted unanimously to turn back to the Hatfield Board of Selectmen the building and grounds known as the Hill School.
