REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
To the Citizens of Norwood : -
Your attention is invited to the report of the School Committee for the year ending January 31, 1899. On Thursday evening following the annual election of Town Officers, the Committee met and organized, with the choice of George W. Cushing, Chair- man, and Mary J. Alden, Secretary. The Sub-Committees were appointed as indicated on page 3, ante.
In their report of last year the Committee recommended the appropriation of a suitable sum of money to put the North, West and Balch Schools into a first-class sanitary condition. The matter of the North School was left in the hands of a spe- cial committee, but the sum of $1200 was granted to be expended on the Balch. No action was taken on the West.
The Balch School, which, three years ago, was in a very bad condition in its sanitary and heating and ventilating apparatus, has now been brought fully abreast of the best appointed schools in town in all three of these important particulars. In addition to the new heating and ventilating system introduced last year, there has been erected a small brick structure at the back of the building, furnished with the best modern sanitary appliances and lavatories. Also a piazza roof and storm porches have been built, adding much to the comfort and healthfulness of the building.
The Committee would respectfully recommend that the East and West Schools be put in the same satisfactory condition, at an estimated cost of $2000 and $1000 respectively.
The town committee having in charge the building of the new Guild School, have a fine eight-room structure well under way, but it will hardly be available for school purposes until the beginning of the next school year, in September.
The schools are of course in the same crowded state as last
6
year, there being in some rooms as many as sixty-five or more pupils, - a number far too large for the best work.
In spite of this great drawback, however, the teachers are all doing good work and making fair progress with the course of study adopted at the beginning of the year.
The new ninth grade has been located in the High School building temporarily until the new Guild is completed. This class, as well as the lowest class in the High School, has neces- sarily been small, as these two classes were made up of the pupils graduating from the single eighth grade.
There are now about 1100 pupils in the schools.
The large balance left over from the funds appropriated for this year is due to the fact that, the enlarged accommodations not. being ready, the money for additional teachers, janitor's service, coal, etc., has not been required. It is recommended that the $600 appropriated for new school furniture be continued on to the next year.
Accompanying this report will be found the reports of the Finance Committee, of the Superintendent and of the Principal of the High School.
