Other matters relating to school costs were comparatively the same during the past year as were shown in the estimates of Tables III and IV of the 1933 report. It was believed that with the space in that report and

the financial comments in the School Committee's report, that there is no necessity of adding pages to repeat these tables.

E. R. A. Maintenance Activities
The school buildings are in better condition of repair and appearance than at any time for several years. This is due to the extensive work done by E. R. A. labor furnished by the Federal government. All labor costs

The School Department, through the E. R. A. work, has not only been able to place buildings in fine condition but has made possible the employ- ment of much skilled labor, this Department being one of the few in town where such labor is required on an extended scale.
Shattuck School Auditorium
The greatest individual benefit derived from E. R. A. labor and arrange- ments has been the provision of an auditorium in the Shattuck School. Plans for this originated with the School Committee. Partitions between two classrooms and a dressing room were torn out, making possible, with the installation of folding doors, a room capable of seating about 450 people. Complete renovation was carried on and new hardwood flooring was laid. This hall serves two admirable purposes; first, it provides an assembly place for the children of the school for their group activities, and secondly, it furnishes a splendid and centralized location for community gatherings.
Nursery Schools
Under the direction of the State Department of Education, two nursery school units were established early in 1934 with an average enrollment of twenty-four. The nursery school idea as an E. R. A. activity, origi- nated with the Federal authorities in Washington and has been the most widely adopted educational feature of the E. R. A. program. It serves not only to give substantial part-time employment to teachers who have been unable to get positions, but also enables communities to give close attention to the needs of a large group of children who are lacking in privileges.
Since the opening of the two nursery school units in the Balch School, another has been added in the Callahan School and a fourth will be provided for the Shattuck School district. Since individual attention is highly necessary, the groups are small.
Selection for enrollment is made from the group of children shown in the census-taker's records as being.between four and five years of age as of October first, most of whom would not qualify to enter the first grade the succeeding September.
The support of the nursery schools is carried on chiefly with Federal funds, all salaries being paid this way and the Town being responsible for furnishing only the few small supplies needed and the equipment. A small portion of the supplies is paid with Federal funds.

Professional Advancement
During 1934 eighty-eight teachers of the Norwood teaching force took courses for professional advancement. Of this number, fifty-seven were enrolled in an English course given here in Norwood by Dr. James Hosic of Columbia University.
Summer School
The enrollment in summer school was seventeen. Of this number fifteen were promoted. The summer school was limited to fifth, sixth and seventh grade children. The groups formerly arranged for eighth and ninth grade pupils were eliminated this year, it being decided by the School Committee that the policy of holding out an extra opportunity for ninth grade pupils to make up their credit for entrance to High School was · not a valuable one. It was discovered that many ninth grade pupils would fall back upon the opportunity that they would have a second chance to get credit in their work if they did not pass it during the year and as a result some were inclined to slight their assignments.
Damages to Schools
Many reports from janitors were given during 1934 of damages to school buildings in the summer months particularly. The Shattuck School received nearly $100 worth of damage during the summer, mostly through the breaking of windows and the rifling of desks and other school property when "breaks" occurred. In the Balch School building there were many windows broken during the summer, mostly by small boys throwing stones. All of these "breaks" and damages have been reported to the Police De- partment.
Physically Handicapped Children
An increase has been noted in the number of physically handicapped children who require home instruction. Under the provisions of the State law, and under direction of the State Department of Education, all such cases are investigated by a State visitor who makes final approval as to whether children are to receive such assistance. This year there have been five children cnrolled under the instruction of Miss Martha Kenefick and a regular schedule has been provided for them.
Attendance at Trade School
The enrollment at Trade School, for which the Town is responsible for one-half the cost, has been eight during the past year. This is an increase of two over 1933. One-half the cost of the tuition for all of these pupils is paid by the State.
Conclusion
Throughout the ensuing administration and departmental reports, a genuine opportunity exists to examine some of the activities which are carried on in the Norwood schools. It is hoped that many citizens will avail themselves of the opportunity to read about thesc activities. It is further hoped that such reading will stimulate sufficient interest so that
272
visits will be made to school buildings to see classes in operation. It should be noted that during Education Week of 1934, 552 visitors took the special opportunity offered to visit classrooms for close observation of pupil activities. This is indeed encouraging as it shows a substantial increase over the number visiting during the same week for 1933.
I wish to cordially thank the School Committee for their continued support of important recommendations and their untiring attention to the requirements of the Norwood school system. I also wish to say that I appreciate thoroughly the support given me by the force of administra- tors and teachers with whom it has been a pleasure to work.

REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
In keeping with the prediction of last year, the steady increase in enroll- ment at the Norwood Senior High School has come to a point now where it can be regarded as having reached its peak. Three years ago there was an increase of 103 students over the previous year; two years ago that increase fell to 81 pupils, and last year showed an increase of only 38 pupils over the preceding year. The enrollment figures of September, 1934 are as follows:

This total of 678 pupils indicates a student body somewhat less than the number shown in September, 1933. The slight dropping off is accounted for by the increased possibility of employment and the raising of standards of accomplishment required in the ninth grade.
Next September prospects of a little larger student body are in evidence. From all indications and figures available, it appears that we shall have in the vicinity of 735 students as a September enrollment.
Faculty
There have been a few changes in the faculty for the present school year. Miss Margaret Nicholson, having secured a year's leave of absence for study, has been replaced by Mr. James Dunn, a graduate of Boston College and Boston University, with a B. S. degree in Education. He has had teaching experience at Pittsfield, Mass., Ansonia, Conn., and at Villanova College.

Miss Vena Garvin, because of a dropping off of electives in the Commer- cial Department, was released.
Mr. Vincent Kenefick, a graduate of Harvard University, with four years' teaching experience at Medfield High School, has come to take care of the additional enrollment in the social studies divisions.
Mr. Robert I. Woodbury, department head of Science, has also secured a year's leave of absence. His place is being temporarily taken by Mr. Stanley Robinson, a graduate of Tufts College with B. S. in Mechanical Engineering degree. He has had teaching experience at the Tilton School and at Lawrence Academy.
Miss Dorothy Wilkins, leaving to be married, has had her work taken over by Miss Helen Paul in the Home Economics department. Miss Paul is a graduate of the Framingham State Teachers College with a B.S.degree and has had two years' teaching experience at Maynard, Massachusetts. All new teachers are carrying on in satisfactory and creditable manner.
Graduation, 1934
On June 12, 1934, at the State Armory building, the Class of 1934; totaling 233 students, conducted its graduation exercises. This class, with an increase of 62 students over the preceding graduating class, repre- sents the largest class in the history of the school to be graduated. It is doubtful if within the next few years this number will again be reached. Indications are that between 200 and 225 will be graduated in the next three or four years.
Exercises at the Armory were carried out in very splendid and dignified manner by the graduates. A very interesting graduation address was given by Mr. Cameron Beck, Director of Personnel, New York Stock Exchange, who told the young people what was ahead of them and what they should strive to do by way of acquiring necessary qualifications for success in life work.
It is my recommendation that even though the urge be felt quite materi- ally for a large number of guest tickets in the future, that no class be per- mitted to graduate again at the Armory. State Armories apparently are not meant to be auditoriums. Ventilation cannot be adequate for a gathering of 1300 or 1400 people. My recommendation would be to cut down the number of guest tickets for each member of the class and to conduct the exercises in a place more suited to public gatherings. We are sorcly in need of the auditorium which was originally planned for the Senior High School building.
We realize that even though it was believed possible when the building was built ten years ago, to complete the auditorium by 1930, that such could not be had under the existing economic conditions. With federal aid now available, and with the need of an auditorium extremely felt, could we not possibly see our way clear to give the school its only lacking physical equip- nent?

Lack of funds prevented many others, well qualified for advance training, to go on with their education. Reports from many of the above have al- ready been received. Those that have come in are satisfactory, showing that, by and large, our preparatory training adequately equips our boys and girls with the fundamentals on which to build a higher education. It is to the credit of our teachers and our school that we can state that in eight years not one subject failure has been reported from students certifi- cated from Norwood High School into the colleges on the New England College Certificate Board.
