School Committee
January 14, 1947
To the citizens of the Town of Hatfield:
Your school committee herewith submits the annual report of the school department for the year ending De- cember 31, 1946. Twelve regular, and five special, meet- ings were held during the year.
Cost of Education Increasing
Last year, we discussed in our report the necessity for having an excellent teaching staff augmented by as much up-to-date equipment as it is economically possible for us to provide for them.
Having the kind of teaching staff that we wish to have depends much upon having happy teachers whose financial income helps them to have the things necessary to get along well in daily living. No one needs to be told that it takes much more income now to maintain the standard of living that he was maintaining a year ago at this time.
It is not necessary for us to dwell at length upon the inadequacies of teaching income. The press and radio have told that story far more cogently than we could ever hope to. The plight of American teachers, with all that implies to the future of our great country, has, at last, been impressed upon the thinking of the public, with the result that teachers' salaries have been increased in al- most every community in the United States. These in-
75
creases in the general level of teachers' salaries plus the rise in the prices of other school srvices and supplies have greatly increased the cost of education to the American public.
We are emphasizing that the increase in the cost of education is a nation-wide problem that is being reflected in every school system in these United States.
Prroblem of Teachers' Salaries
Last year, at the annual town election, the voters de- cided that an Act passed by the Massachusetts General Court relative to equal pay for men and women teachers should be in effect in the Town of Hatfield.
Interpretations by town counsel of the so-called "Equal Pay" law have been many and varied. The pro- blem of what steps a local school committee should take to comply with the statute has largely been a problem for the town counsel, since the attorney-general has stated that, in the absence of a court ruling, the opinion of the town counsel must be regarded as authoritative.
In accord with the.general economic trend of all the cities and towns of the Commonwealth, our teachers have requested further increases in salary to become effective during the fiscal year 1947.
Your school committee believes that the nature of these salary increases is, at present, on the basis of the increased cost of living, and that these salary increases ought to be granted as emergency increases to be given at the discretion of the school committee.
Teachers and others should, however, understand that, with the granting of such further increase, the abil- ity of the town real estate tax has been used to the very limit to support schools.
76
More State Aid for Education
Throughout the state, there has been a general feel- ing that the real estate tax ought not to bear as much of the cost of education as it does now. With the cost of edu- cation increasing at the rate that it has during the past five year period, this general feeling against any further burden on real estate has now crystallized into action.
There will be presented, before the next legislature, several bills to provide more State Aid to local communi- ties for their schools. Outstanding among these several bills are two, one being filed by the Massachusetts Tea- chers' Federation, and the other being filed by the State Taxpayers' Association. House Bill number 486 is being sponsored by the Teachers' Federation, and this is the bill which we believe should have the support of local vot- ers.
Massachusetts is near the bottom among the states in respect to the support given to local schools from state- collected taxes. In fact, only about 9% of the cost of the public schools is paid out of taxes distributed on an educa- tional basis. Unless very much more State Aid is forth- coming, Massachusetts schools will suffer a marked drop in quality.
On December 9, 1946, the Educational Policies Com- mission met at Boston to discuss programs of State Aid and educational reimbursement. The following quotation, from the January, 1947, issue of "The Massachusetts Ed- ucational News", is pertinent:
"Many features of this program cannot be listed here, but two important conclusions were reached ; first, that the State has a real responsibility to aid local communities, since it passed the minimum sal- ary law, as well as the Equal Pay Bill; and second, that 1947 must bring at least one-quarter of the pro- gram to relieve the local Real Estate Tax."
77
A Single Salary Schedule
The salary increases included in the 1947 school bud- get are designed to place all of our teachers on an equal salary basis for cost of living reasons.
If increased State Aid to local Communities becomes a reality, it will be possible to institute a single salary schedule with step increases above the present maxima for all teachers. Such a schedule would be based upon ex- perience and preparation for teaching factors.
Your committee envisions a salary schedule, there- fore, where the preparation of the teacher, rather than the position held, will be the determining factor in fixing the salary to be paid.
Recently, there has been a notable increase in the number of elementary school teachers who have prepared for their work by a training course equal in amount, and generally equal in content to that received by high school teachers.
The importance of elementary education cannot be over-estimated, and we must make provision for superior work in this field. When it becomes necessary to find re- placement teachers for our elementary schools, our sal- ary schedule must put us in a position to have the best elementary school teachers that can be found.
When a pupil fails to master the skills taught in the elementary school, a high school education for him be- comes a waste of time and funds.
The single salary schedule provides equal pay for equal work for teachers of similar qualifications through- out the school system.
78
Changes in the School Staff
On May 22, 1946, Miss Margaret Connelly, teacher of household arts in the high school, resigned to accept a position in the Deerfield School System. Miss Connelly did an excellent piece of work in reorganizing the facilities of our high school department of household arts.
Mrs. Marjorie B. Day (B.S., Massachusetts State College) was elected to fill the vacancy created by Miss Connelly's resignation. Her services began September 3, 1946.
At the regular meeting of the school committee for the month of June, 1946, the resignation of Miss Helen Donnis was read and accepted. Miss Donnis, teacher of grade six, was well-liked by both staff and pupils, and gave her resignation because she planned subsequent marriage.
Mrs. Kathleen Deinlein was later appointed as a substitute teacher to temporarily fill the vacancy caused by Miss Donnis' resignation.
Mr. Clarence J. Larkin, long in the service of Hat- field Schools, submitted his resignation as principal of the Hatfield High School on July 24, 1946. Mr. Larkin had given twenty-three years of faithful service to the schools of the town. His first assignment was as principal of the Center School, and more recently he had served as prin- cipal of the Hatfield High School. During his administra- tion of the high school, high standards of scholarship were maintained, and he was responsible for many im- provements in the functioning of the school. Mr. Larkin resigned to accept a position with the Veteran's Adminis- tration.
Mr. John C. Jakobek, who previously had been a teacher in the Hatfield High School, suceeded Mr. Larkin
79
on September 3, 1946. Mr. Jakobek returned to the ser- vice of the Hatfield schools after having spent one year at the Pratt High School in Essex, Connecticut. Mr. Jakobek earned his bachelor's and master's degrees ot Massachusetts State College, and has already proved him- self very capable of fulfilling the duties assigned to him.
On August 26, 1946, the resignation of Mrs. Martha P. Boyle, teacher of grade two, was received and accepted.
Mrs. Sophie Filipkowski was elected as a substitute teacher to temporarily fill the vacancy caused by Mrs. Boyle's resignation. Mrs. Filipkowski began her duties on September 3, 1946.
Mr. Joseph Bart, teacher of agriculture in the high school, resigned on November 1, 1946, and entered the service of the Massachusetts Agricultural Experiment Station as a junior chemist.
On November 1, 1946, Mr. Bart was suceeded by Mr. Wallace Hibbard (B.S., Massachusetts State College), who promptly assumed the duties, and has, since that time, been doing a commendable piece of work as teacher of agriculture.

Conclusion
This report on the part of the school committee, and the reports by school personnel following this one, are is- sued annually to keep the voters informed of continued progress toward the goal of making our schools just a lit- tle better each year.
The cooperation of town officials, parents, and voters toward this common end has been very encouraging.
In making decisions about the schools, we have at- tempted to take that course of action which would be of greatest benefit to the children in the schools of Hatfield.
Respectfully submitted,
ALEX E. CELATKA, Chairman, Stanley Ziezulewicz, George H. Howard,
Hatfield School Committee.
