The Year in Review.
The Membership of the Schools is Rapidly Increasing. The average membership of the schools for the year ending in June, 1915, was 1990, an increase of 151 over the preceding year. The present membership is 2146. From these figures it will be seen that the membership of the schools is increasing at the rate of over 150 pupils a year.
Additional Teachers Employed. In September two more teachers were employed, one at the High School and one at the New Balch School. With the employment of an additional teacher at the New Balch School every one of the twelve school-
$75,064.74
220
rooms in the building was occupied. In fact, every schoolroom in town is now in use.
An Unusually Large Number of New Teachers Have Begun Work in Norwood this Year. Seventy-five teachers are now employed in the schools. Of these seventy-five, seventeen, or over twenty-two per cent., have begun work in Norwood since the first of September.
Many of the Schools are Overcrowded. A teacher should not have over thirty-six pupils. Twenty-nine of the fifty teachers in the grades have more than this number.
The High School Especially is Overcrowded. Owing to an increase in the number of pupils in the High School to over 260 it has been necessary to hold two sessions daily. The mem- bers of the upper three classes attend in the morning and the pupils in the Freshman class in the afternoon. Portable build- ings would have made it possible for all pupils to attend in the morning, but the additional expense would have been heavy In the judgment of the Committee the circumstances did not warrant this outlay.
Changes in Requirements for Graduation from the High School. The following changes have been made in the require- ments for graduation from the High School. Algebra is now elective for those pupils who take arithmetic. Elementary science is elective. The number of points required for gradua- tion will be increased to seventy. Sixty-six points will be re- quired of the Class of 1917, sixty-eight of the Class of 1918, and seventy of the Class of 1919.
High School Classes in Home Nursing. In February, Miss Davies, the school nurse, organized two classes in home nursing for the girls in the High School. These classes met once a week for the last half of the school year in the Model House at the Civic Association. A similar class will be organized this year. The course of study includes instruction in personal hygiene; care of the sick room, the bed, the giving of a bath in bed; taking
221
of temperatures; heat applications; making of poultices; treat- ment of scalds, burns and cuts; bandaging; the administering and measuring of medicines under the physician's direction; massage; proper diet for patients; first aid.
Supervision of Home Gardens. During the months of July and August Mr. John L. Flores, a graduate of the Hyannis Nor- mal School, was employed in supervising the home gardens of the school children. His employment was made possible through the co-operation of the Grange, the Norwood Poultry Associa- tion, the Education Committee of the Woman's Club, and the Board of Trade. Two hundred eighty-three children had gardens. Although the season was one of the worst known for gardening Mr. Flores reports that the interest in the work was well sustained and that he has records of $325 worth of vege- tables used at home and $22.80 worth sold. This work was greatly aided by Mr. Peter Fisher who distributed among the school children in the spring without charge several hundred tomato plants.
In September an excellent exhibit of vegetables including tomatoes raised from the plants furnished by Mr. Fisher was held at Everett Hall. Prizes were awarded as follows: Five dollar gold piece for best care of garden by a boy to Carl Schaier, Grade 9, Everett School, and Herbert Schaier, Grade 8, Everett School, equally; five dollar gold piece for best care of garden by a girl to Mildred Meier, Grade 7, New Balch School; first prize for best exhibit of tomatoes, a two and one-half dollar gold piece, to Ruth Anderson, Grade 4, New Balch School; first grand prize for best exhibit of vegetables to Herbert Schaier, Grade 8, Everett School; second grand prize for exhibit of vegetables to Jack Hurst, Grade 7, Guild School; third grand prize for exhibit of vegetables to Herbert Bistor, Grade 8, Everett School. It is hoped to continue this work during the coming summer.
Boys' Poultry Club. A boys' poultry club was organized in January with forty-two members. The work of this club
222
was carried on under the direction of Mr. Roland V. Fitzroy, in- structor in manual arts. This club held a series of meetings with addresses by local poultrymen and its organization result- ed in a number of boys taking up work with poultry.
Physical Training. In October Miss Erna Kiley, a graduate of the Sargent School of Physical Training, began her work as supervisor of physical training. Under Miss Kiley's direc- tion a system of simple physical exercises has been introduced into the schools. The beneficial results are already apparent. Pupils sit and stand in more hygienic positions and attack their work with greater mental vigor.
Prizes in Drawing. Through the generosity of Mr. Herbert M. Plimpton, five prizes were awarded at the close of the school year in June for excellence in drawing. One of these prizes was given in the High School and one each in grades nine, eight and seven. A second prize was awarded in the ninth grade to the pupil whose design was selected for the graduation program. The pupils who received these prizes were: High School, Alice Clem; Grade 9, Agnes Flood; Grade 8, Joseph Kallgren, Winslow School; Grade 7, Curtis Talbot, Guild School; Grade 9, design for graduation program, Cushing Foss.
Mr. Plimpton's experience in a business in which the ability to design is an important asset has convinced him of the value of drawing as a school subject. It is hoped that through the granting of these prizes the pupils will be stimulated to greater effort in drawing with beneficial results to themselves and to the industrial life of the community.
Increased Interest in School Savings. On December 31 the number of depositors was 1018, of whom 550 had accounts at the Dedham Institution for Savings. The amount to the credit of these 550 accounts was $5,191.83, and the balance on hand in the School Savings Department, $1,211.07. At the close of the previous year the amount at the Dedham Institution for Sav- ings credited to pupils was $3,895.55 and the balance on hand in the School Savings Department, $967.93.
223
Evening School. The average attendance at the evening school has been 185, about the same as a year ago. Classes have been formed in the English language, preparation for naturali- zation, with the co-operation of the United States government, preparation for the civil service, including a review of the com- mon school branches, shorthand, typewriting, bookkeeping, mechanical drawing and Spanish. The interest in the class in Spanish has been especially strong. The instructor in this class is Mr. Manuel Matienzo, a student at the Harvard Law School, a graduate of Wesleyan University, a native of Porto Rico, and a Spaniard by descent. Undoubtedly, the school would have been much larger had it not been for the decrease in immigration.
Parent-Teachers' Association. In the winter the preliminary steps were taken toward the formation of a Parent-Teachers' Association. During the spring an Association was organized and a number of meetings have since been held. Parents and teachers have been brought more closely into touch with each other and the resultant better understanding has been of benefit to the schools. It is expected that through the Parent-Teachers' Association a still larger number of parents will be given a clearer understanding of what our schools are trying to accomplish for the children.
The Half Mill Tax. Undoubtedly, one of the most important accomplishments of the year has been the defeat in the Legis- lature of the half mill tax bill, so-called. Norwood opposed this bill on the ground of its inequity. Had it been enacted into law it would have added $8500 a year to the state tax paid by our town.
The Year Ahead.
The rapid growth of the town is being reflected in the in- creased membership of its schools. In September, at least three teachers in addition to those at present employed will be required. Another teacher in the High School, an additional
224
teacher in the seventh grade in the Guild district, and one more teacher at the Winslow school must be added to the present force. The Guild School will not be large enough to accommo- date all the pupils in the district and it will be necessary to se- cure quarters outside of the school building for about forty pupils.
This crowded condition of the Guild School is directly trace- able to the growth of the town in the vicinity of the East school. Likewise the crowded condition at the Winslow School is due to the rapid development of the town in the West School section. At the Shattuck School another rapid increase in the number of pupils is taking place. With these three school buildings becoming more and more overcrowded even the proposed new High School building with accommodations for the seventh and eighth grades will not give the relief required and it will be necessary to utilize the present High School building for an inevitable overflow from the Guild, Shattuck and Winslow schools.
The most important work of this coming year is the erection of a new school building for the High School and the seventh and eighth grades. After careful consideration of available loca- tions the Town Planning Committee and the School Committee have agreed that the site between Washington and Hoyle streets opposite the Civic Association is the best obtainable. This site will give opportunity for the use of the many departments of the Civic Association in connection with the school program.
