CITY OF QUINCY
REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of Quincy :
Your School Committee submit herewith for your consideration their report for the year 1926.
The year just closed has been an eventful one in school matters, and one which has called for much time and attention on the part of your Committee, more probably than any previous year in the history of the city.
Our school system suffered a very great loss during the year in the death of our Superintendent, Mr. Fred H. Nickerson, who had served the city ably and faithfully since December 20, 1920. Mr. Nickerson passed away October 17, 1926. Coming as it did, with- out warning, his death was a great shock not only to those with whom he was closely associated in his work, but to the citizens of the entire city, for during his service here, he had become loved for his genial personality, and greatly esteemed for his ability.
After very carefully investigating the qualifications ond experi- ence of the many candidates for the position made vacant by the death of Mr. Nickerson, your Committee selected Mr. James N. Muir, of Bethelehem, Pennsylvania, who will, we believe, advance still further the already high standing of Quincy's schools. Mr. Muir will take up his work early in January, 1927.
The two outstanding problems before your Committee this year were the further extension of the Junior High School system, and the housing of pupils in nearly every section of our rapidly grow- ing city.
Work on the North Junior High School has progressed steadily during the year, and we are assured that this building will be ready for occupancy the semester beginning in February, and such has been the rapid growth of population in that section of the city that indications are that the building will be filled at once.
Recognizing the urgent need of completing this system as soon as possible, your Committee urged the erection of the South Junior High School on the so-called Nightingale lot, and our Mayor and Chairman, Mr. Barbour, petitioned the Legislature for permission to borrow outside the debt limit, in order that the building might be started at once. This permission was granted, and the building is now perhaps 40 per cent completed, and it is hoped can be occu- pied in September, 1927. Shepard and Stearns of Boston are the architects.
The completion of the North Junior High will relieve the con- gestion in our buildings somewhat, as will the South Junior, but after all we are barely keeping pace with the growth of the city, and it will be imperative to get another building under way at once. With that end in view, a sub-committee is now at work on a study of conditions to determine just what building is most necessary. It is significant to note that the present increase in our school popu- lation calls for the erection of a twenty room building each year, or its equivalent in addition to existing buildings.
During the year it became necessary, also, for the city to take over what has been known as the Government School at Quincy
353
REPORT OF SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
Point, this taking being in accordance with an agreement entered into between the United States Government and the City of Quincy when the building was erected during the World War. The build- ing has been put in thorough repair, turned over to the School De- partment, and renamed the Thomas B. Pollard School, in memory of the former master of the Daniel Webster School, who passed away in 1925, after a service in our schools of thirty-eight years.
Though a part of Faxon Field has been graded through the gen- erosity of Mr. Henry M. Faxon, the donor of the Field, your Com- mittee point out the urgent need of filling and grading the rest of the tract as soon as possible, in order that it may be available as a playground for the pupils of the High and Coddington Schools as well as for all children living near the center of the city.
This year we have lost by death, Mr. Louis Fleshman, who passed away January 2, 1926, after a faithful service of eight years as janitor of the Massachusetts Fields School.
Detailed reports of the Acting Superintendent and various heads of departments follow, giving very interesting data and statistics.
The foregoing report was prepared by a special com- mittee consisting of Dr. Daniel B. Reardon and Col. War- ren E. Sweetser, and was adopted as the annual report of the Committee for the year 1926.
The following Resolution was adopted by the School Committee on October 21, 1926:
The School Committee of the City of Quincy learns with deep regret of the death of Fred H. Nickerson, who for six years has served as Superintendent of Schools and Secretary of this Com- mittee.
Mr. Nickerson was a Christian gentleman who exemplified by his thoughts and deeds the high ideals for which he toiled.
He was a superior executive and elevated the schools of Quincy to a high level by the most modern of methods. He was an arduous and tireless worker and gave his life to his work as truly as any soldier on the field of battle.
The Committee wishes to record the respect and regard in which it held Mr. Nickerson and the profound feeling of loss to the schools and to the community in his sudden death.
