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, 1900. On Thursday evening, March 16, 1899, the committee met and organized with the choice of George W. Cushing, Chairman, and Mary J. Alden, Secretary. The sub-committees were appointed as indicated on page 3, ante.
In their report of last year the committe recommended the appropriation of a suitable sum of money to put the East and West Schools into first-class sanitary condition. The sum of $700 was granted at the adjourned Town Meeting in April for repairs on the West School, to be expended by the School Com- mittee, and at a special Town Meeting in June $3500 was granted, to be expended by a building committee appointed at that meeting. The work has been completed in both buildings, and they are now in excellent condition in every respect.
The matter of the repairs on the North School is still in the hands of a special committee appointed two years ago. In the summer vacation the School Board, at moderate expense, suc- ceeded in putting the building into good sanitary condition ; but they would respectfully suggest that, as it badly needs painting and shingling, it would be good economy for the town to take definite action at an early date and bring this building to the same condition of comfort and healthfulness that exists in all the other schools. -
In September the enlarged Guild School, containing twelve rooms in both parts, was opened under the charge of Mr. Charles H. Taylor as principal. Two of these rooms were occupied tem- porarily by the children belonging to the East School until the
6
repairs on that building were completed in the early part of December. This leaves three unoccupied rooms in the new building. The town is therefore to be congratulated on having more room for school purposes than it actually needs at present,-a state of affairs that has not existed for some time.
The committee were exceedingly fortunate in purchasing desks and chairs for the new part of the Guild building, securing them from the Chandler Desk Co. at a figure far below the price of any ever bought by the town before, thus being able to furnish the eight new rooms at an expense of about $200 in excess of the sum originally appropriated to furnish four.
Various changes have been made in our corps of teachers the past year. In June, Mr. Albin C. Russell, principal of the Higli School, and Miss Carrie Bascom, teacher in French and English, resigned, and their places were filled by Mr. Nathaniel A. Cutler and Miss Edith R. Noon, the latter of whom had been the teacher in the ninth grade. Miss Cora A. Polk was appointed to the place thus made vacant in this grade, which was moved from the High school to the Everett building. There were resignations in other schools which left vacancies to be filled, and three additional teachers were hired for the new grades opencd in September.
At the June meeting the Board adopted the Tenure of Office act, by virtue of which all teachers in the employ of the town who have served one year and have been re-elected, become permanent members of the corps of instructors.
There are now about 1150 pupils in the schools.
Accompanying this report will be found the reports of the Finance Committee, of the Superintendent and of the Principal of the High School.

The signals for no school on stormy days will be given at 8 and 11.45 o'clock A. M. When the signal is given at S o'clock it means no school in the forenoon. Should the storm continue another signal will be given at 11.45, for no school in the after- noon. But if no signal is given at 11.45 it means school in the afternoon. We speak of this in detail, in order that there may be no misunderstanding, for, until recently. a signal in the morn- ing meant no school for the day.

I will again call attention to some of the new provisions in school legislation :----
. 1. No child under fourteen shall Le employel in a factory or workshop.
2. The compulsory age limits are changed from eight and fourteen to seven and fourteen.
3. The time of taking the school census is changed to September 1.
4. The truancy laws are simplified and strengthened.
5. Every habitual absentee, that is, every child between seven and sixteen years of age, who may be found wandering about in the streets or public places of any town or city of the Common- wealth, having no lawful occupation, habitually not attending school, and growing up in idleness and ignorance, upon com- . plaint by a truant officer or any other person, and conviction thereof, may be committed, if a boy, at the discretion of the court, to a county truant school for a period not exceeding two years, or to the Lyman School for boys, and, if a girl, to the State Industrial School for girls.
