REPORT OF SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of Quincy :
The School Committee of the City of Quincy presents its report for the year 1931.
The Committee has held twenty-five meetings, besides numerous conferences, and many details of administration have been con- sidered.
The physical needs of the School Department to date have been well cared for. The dressing rooms and showers for the gymna- sium of the Central Junior High School have been completed. This provides long needed facilities and places the physical training in the Central Junior on a par with the other Junior High Schools in the city.
The four room addition to the Adams School relieves the over- crowding in that district and should be sufficient for some time to come. This addition has necessitated, under the State law, the installation of automatic self feeders in the heating plant. Inci- dentally this releases the custodian for other important work about the building and also lessens the liability of a smoke nuisance.
The completion of the addition to the Quincy School, now well under way, will relieve the congestion in that building and also allow a readjustment of the district lines of the Francis W. Parker and Massachusetts Fields Schools. Thus we hope pupils may at- tend the school in the district to which they legitimately belong.
The completion of the east wing of the North Junior High School building has allowed the pupils completing the Junior High School work to continue in the 10th grade in the same building. It is expected that eventually all high school pupils living north of Beale Street will attend this six-grade building, the name of which has been changed to "North Quincy High School." To accommodate the six grades in this school it will be necessary to add the west wing as soon as the financial conditions admit. For administrative and economic reasons it was thought advisable for the upper class students to continue in the Senior High School to their graduation.
The Senior High School is very over-crowded,-almost crimi- nally so,-at the present time, but with no more mid-year pupils entering and with the gradual withdrawal of all North Quincy students, the conditions should gradually improve and reach a con- dition of comparative comfort for teachers and pupils.
During the summer, needed repairs and painting were attended to. Yards have been amiesited and fences built to insure the comfort and safety of the children. The school grounds about many of the schools could be beautified by the addition of trees and shrubs. Perhaps this is a matter which might well concern the various Parent-Teacher Associations.
Several sites for new schools have been considered and recom- mended to the City Council in order that land in growing centers might be acquired while it is still vacant, but as yet nothing fur- ther has been done in this matter.
The reader is referred to statistics under Appendix A for inter- esting information concerning buildings and organization. Under Table 5, General Statistics, it might be of interest to note that there are employed by the School Department 608 different persons.
There are at the present time about twenty-five vacant class
422
CITY OF QUINCY
rooms, but as they are spread over practically the entire section cannot be used to alleviate overcrowding in any particular district.
The reorganization of the office of the Superintendent has been considered with the appointment of a second assistant to take charge of the many details of the business organization. This would relieve the Superintendent and allow him more time to de- vote to the purely educational needs of the department. This change was deemed inexpedient at present on account of the in- creased expense it would entail.
Mr. Charles H. Johnson has for many years attended well and faithfully to the duties of Supervisor of Attendance. But of late those duties have become excessive and exacting and it was found necessary to appoint an assistant. Mr. Harry G. Burnham has been appointed temporarily to fill that position and is proving most acceptable in his new work.
Believing that the health of the child is of prime importance, and wishing to bring the physical education department to the same high level of efficiency as the other departments, the School Committee requested Prof. Frederick Rand Rogers, Dean of Stu- dent Health and Physical Education at Boston University, to make a survey of the health education program in our schools.
Dean Rogers has gone into the work with interest and efficiency. He has rendered a preliminary report in which he compliments the present conditions and praises the splendid professional character of the masters and teachers and expresses his appreciation of their unfailing courtesy and helpfulness. He has outlined a comprehen- sive scheme of health education throughout the school system, but most of his suggestions await his final report and also a more auspicious time financially for inaugurating reforms which must of necessity incur considerable expense.
The Committee is cooperating with the Commissioner of Health and hopes to provide open air rest rooms where undernourished children may be cared for and thus conserve what gain in health they may have acquired in summer camps.
The educational requirements have been well attended to and the Committee is proud of the high standards and morale of every member of the department.
A series of lectures has been provided for the teachers and the public from the Charles Francis Adams Fund. We have heard Dr. William McAndrew, former Superintendent of Schools of Chi- cago, and Mr. Alden G. Alley, who spoke on international politics.
The time of school sessions in the High Schools has been changed to correspond to that in the Junior High Schools-from 8.30 A.M. to 2.30 P. M. This change has been accepted with absolutely no friction on the part of teachers, scholars or parents.
The High School has again been approved in Class A and is entitled to send its pupils to the State Normal Schools on certifi- cate.
This year, in order that the graduates of the Quincy Senior High School might have opportunities of securing suitable employment, a placement service has been established as a part of the regular school work. Under the direction of Mr. Leslie C. Millard and Miss Margaret L. Burns, a careful survey of business firms in Quincy and outside was made and individual interviews were held with all members of the graduating class.
