REPORT OF SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of Quincy:
The School Committee presents herewith a report of its activities for the year 1928.
That it has been a busy year is shown by the fact that the Com- mittee has held twenty-one formal meetings and several informal conferences.
The matter of school accommodations has, as usual, claimed much of our attention. The addition to the Daniel Webster School was completed and dedicated with most impressive ceremonies at the beginning of the Fall term. This addition has been named the Quincy Point Junior High School and is a most satisfactory build- ing relieving the urgent congestion of this district. The comple- tion of this building provided the final unit in the Junior High School system throughout the city,-with the consequent readjust- ments of personnel and administration.
On February 21, 1928 the Mayor was requested to procure plans for school buildings at Merrymount and Adams Shore. Plans from the office of Mr. William Chapman, Architect, were approved and these two buildings are well under way and should be ready for occupancy next Fall.
Plans have also been requested and will be soon forthcoming for additions to the Montclair and Atherton Hough School buildings. These buildings will relieve a most distressing condition among the young children of these districts.
The increasing interest in higher education is shown by the over- crowded condition of our Senior High School which will necessi- tate in the near future an enlargement of our present building or, perhaps better, the erection of a new High School building in the northern section of the City. The North Junior High School will also require enlargement at an early date.
The repairs of the physical equipment have been supervised by special committees investigating the needs of each building.
The total Budget for the schools for the year 1928, including $5,843.00 of the Smith-Hughes Funds, was $1,083,456,-a large sum of money but we think well invested.
From this total should be deducted $132,462.57 received into the City Treasury as the result of School Department operation. Of this amount $10,522.37 was received for tuition from State and City of Boston minor wards and non-resident pupils; $115,568.20 from the General School Fund and State reimbursements for State- aided schools; and $6,372.00 from miscellaneous receipts, including sale of articles made in the Industrial and Home Making Schools. It would seem that a part, at least, of this amount should be re- turned to the School Department which is responsible for the cost of production and raw material.
The Committee has received from time to time requests from teachers and janitors for increases in salaries. These requests have been considered carefully and at length. The salaries of the janitors have been adjusted on a satisfactory basis. The salaries of teachers, as a result of readjustments in the system, require further consideration. It is hoped soon to establish an equable schedule based on previous education, experience and efficiency.
Wishing to commemorate the long and faithful services of two former teachers, the Committee has erected in the Adams School

a memorial tablet to Miss Eliza Sheahan, and in the Washington School a tablet to Mr. Thomas B. Pollard. At the same time por- traits of Miss Sarah A. Malone and Mrs. Ida F. Humphrey were presented to the Washington School.
The School Department and the children of the City suffered a great loss in the death of Miss Elsa Schoshusen who died last April. The Committee wishes to record its appreciation of her faithful and conscientious work as Supervisor of Primary Grades.
Miss Teresa McDonnell retired from her school work last June after forty years of hard and loving work in the Willard School. But she was not allowed to enjoy long her well-earned rest for she died in September last. Your Committee recommends that a suit- able tablet be erected to her memory.
A custom in abeyance since the retirement of Miss Underwood from the Coddington School was revived this year in the appoint- ment of Miss Margaret E. Sweeney as Principal of the Gridley Bryant School and of Miss Lucy L. Hennigar as Principal of the Willard School. These teachers have had long and successful ex- perience in our school system.
We have this year inaugurated the experiment of the exchange of teachers of English between the Quincy Senior High School and the High School of Bradford, England. Miss Sally F. Dawes went to England and Miss Dorothy Fieldsend came to Quincy. The ex- periment is proving most satisfactory, resulting in a new and broader outlook.
Early in the year an examination was made of the physical con- dition of the children below High School grade. This examination was part of a state-wide survey of schools and was most thoroughly conducted by a commission of physicians and nurses appointed by the State Board of Health assisted by our School Physician and school nurses and the local Health Department. This resulted in finding many undernourished and weak children; a few with tu- berculosis. Recommendations for care and treatment were made to parents. Some children were given sanatorium treatment and a follow-up system has been inaugurated. The force of school nurses has been increased by the appointment of Mrs. Marie Ewing.
In all our activities of the past year, the Committee has been ably assisted by the Superintendent and co-workers, some of whose reports in more detail appear in the following pages, and to whom we are much indebted.
The foregoing report was prepared by a special committee con- sisting of Dr. Nathaniel S. Hunting and Mr. Robert E. Foy and was adopted as the annual report of the Committee for the year 1928.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the School Committee of Quincy:
I submit the annual report of the Quincy public schools for the year 1928.
The work of the different departments is given in full as sub- mitted by the department heads with emphasis placed on the fea- tures of their work which to them seemed most important. The principals and teachers have worked earnestly and intelligently to discharge their important duties.
During the year, several important steps were taken to increase the standard of scholarship in the Junior and Senior High Schools.
1. The passing mark was raised from 60 to 65 in all subjects.
2. The ninth grade subjects were evaluated in terms of points of credit.
3. Twenty points will be required for promotion to the tenth grade and eighty points, after June, 1930, to graduate from the Senior High School.
A new quarterly report card has been worked out for the Junior High School. Citizenship occupies a prominent place in the Junior High School course of study and, therefore, is given a prominent place on the report card. A six-year accumulative report card has been prepared for all pupils in the Junior and Senior High schools which will enable the Principals to obtain a resume of the conduct and scholarship of the pupils during those six years at any given time should it be desired.
A syllabus for all elementary teachers was typed, mimeographed and bound, and placed in the hands of all elementary teachers. This syllabus acquaints the teacher with the general outline of work and problems to be covered for their respective grades. This work was prepared by a committee of teachers and checked by a committee of teachers, together with the Superintendent, Assistant Superintendent, and Supervisor. A syllabus of this kind is not static but changing, and this will afford an opportunity for initi- ative on the part of any teacher in the school system to make recommendations for improvements.
In September, 1928, three additional special classes were organ- ized to take care of children of low mentality, that is, classes for mentally defectives,-one at the Willard, one at the Lincoln, and one at the Daniel Webster. Five classes for mentally defectives are now established in Quincy.
In addition, an over-age, or ungraded class, was organized in each of the three new Junior High Schools,-North, South, and Quincy Point. These groups of children are not of the moron type, but through lack of opportunity, environment, and other causes, are too old to be held back in an elementary school and do better work when mingling with children of their own age. These are the first classes of their type organized in a junior high school. The classes are of great value to the pupils at the same time relieving the reg- ular class room teacher of a great responsibility. In the ungraded classes, the girls and boys are doing ten hours shop work a week and twenty hours of class room directed recitation work. The scheme has proved beneficial.
