The test will be given to students of the Junior High School and to se- lected students from the other schools. This selected group will include those children who pass a Snellen test, but who complain of abnormal symptoms, or those who give evidence of visual disturbances.


Mid-Morning Lunch


The Woman's Club, through the Norwood Community Chest Fund, makes it possible for 109 children to have mid-morning milk and crackers. Many other children, who pay for their own lunch, also take advantage of this opportunity.


Chadwick Clinic, Guidance, and Speech Clinics


Schools also feel the effects of war, and we regret very much to say that, because of the lack of personnel, there has been no Chadwick Clinic in Norwood for the past two years. This chest clinic is extremely valuable, and we hope that the suspension of this clinic will be for as brief a period as possible.


It is regrettable that the habit and speech clinics, which accomplished such excellent work in this community, have found it necessary to close the Norwood clinic, again because of the lack of personnel. This clinic, which formerly was held at the Norwood Hospital, is now conducted at the . Southard Clinic, Boston.


Conclusion


We are indeed very grateful to Mr Lincoln D. Lynch, to all members of the school department and of the community for their interest and coopera- tion.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF ADULT EDUCATION


The following is the report of the Supervisor of Adult Education for the year ending December, 1943.


Evening School


The Evening School of 1942-43 included a number of wartime classes as can be seen from last year's report in addition to the English and Citizen- ship classes for the foreign-born. The instructors in the wartime classes were working under difficulties because the majority of students enrolled in these classes were young men of draft age who were gradually being called into the service. As a matter of fact, some of these students had already enlisted in the service and were attending classes to brush up on some sub- ject while awaiting assignments with the armed forces. A number of students were war workers whose work claimed ever-increasing amounts of their time.


These two factors made attendance at the classes irregular and closing enrollments were much smaller than those with which we began. However, many people expressed appreciation for the help which they had received through these courses which they found of value to them in their work in the army or navy or in war factories. 34 people were given school certifi- cates for completion of Blueprint Reading, Algebra, and Shop Mathematics courses. No certificates were given to people in Physics, Geometry, Trigo- nometry, or Mechanical Drawing courses because, for the most part, the students were taking these classes for review. It is worthy of mention, I believe, that one student in Geometry class completed a course of Geometry equivalent to a full year of high school work in this subject. This was done in the one evening a week in which the class met together with some outside instruction volunteered by Miss Gow after Evening School closed.


The wartime courses ended in early April when the 60th night of English and Citizenship class meetings was reached. Closing Exercises of the Adult Civic Education classes were held on April 6, 1943, in the Junior High School Gymnasium with a large audience present. The program will be found at the conclusion of this report. A highlight of the program was the presentation of a pageant "Evolution of the Flag" by Mr. Joseph Crossen of Boston with the assistance of ten girls from the Senior High School.


Up until the close of Evening School classes, we were fortunate in having the help of Red Cross staff assistants who volunteered many hours of cleri- cal assistance in carrying on the work of the school.


The war has brought many problems to foreign-born adults attending English and Citizenship classes as it has to everyone. Most of the men and women attending classes have sons or daughters in the service. Some fam- ilies have several members away from home either in the service or doing war work or for some other reason. The teachers have tried to help them in answering the letters of their sons and daughters and sometimes in read- ing the letters which they receive if they are unable to read them them- selves. Many people in this community have relatives in foreign countries from whom they have heard nothing since before the war. Several cases have been referred to the Red Cross foreign inquiry service and all students


217


REPORT OF SCHOOL DEPARTMENT


in our classes have been told of the ways in which the Red Cross can aid them in finding out what has become of their relatives in other countries.


On March 2, 1943, permission was obtained from the Town Moderator for the two Citizenship classes to attend the annual Town Meeting at the State Armory. The class members with their teachers sat in the balcony where they were able to get a good view of all the proceedings. This gave to students a much clearer picture of pure democracy as exemplified by the Town Meeting form of government than could be gained from mere reading or class discussion.


On October 4, 1943, Evening School classes opened at the Junior High School for the 1943-44 session. There was a decided decrease in enrollment in practically all classes. This is due to the number of people who are work- ing overtime and who are too tired to come to school at night, and to the fact that many people are working on shifts. Many women who formerly attended classes are now working during the day and must attend to their housework during the evening hours.


Five English and Citizenship classes were formed instead of the cus- tomary eight which we have had for the past two years. One class in Blue- print Reading was formed, one Elementary Algebra class, and a new course which we called Wartime Homemaking. This course began with an en- rollment of 26 women and girls and is planned to be given in two units - the first one cooking and the second sewing.


Students pay $1.00 per month each for the food used by them in their work. Lessons are planned to include nutrition, meat-saving dishes, sugar-saving desserts, lunch-box ideas, etc. This is not a lecture or a dem- onstration course. There is actual class participation in all of the cooking lessons.


A Red Cross First Aid course began on October 28, 1943, at Swimming Pool Hall in the Civic Building, with 23 people enrolled.


A Home Nursing class was held at Red Cross Headquarters last Spring with 24 women receiving certificates.


Help was given in organizing a Red Cross Nutrition course which was held during the Spring months at the Library.


Income Tax Clinics


Beginning in February and continuing through the early part of March, 1943, a series of Income Tax Clinics was held at the Norwood Junior High School. This new adult education project was inaugurated at the request of the U. S. Treasury department which requested that school de- partments cooperate in the problem of educating taxpayers in the matter of filing income tax returns.


These free clinics were in charge of volunteer High School teachers who had made a study of the Federal Income Tax with a view to helping tax- payers. Forms 1040 and 1040A were available at each clinic for the benefit of new taxpayers. Approximately 150 people attended the Income Tax Clinic and received much helpful advice at them. Some people came merely to get help and information on one or two problems which had not


218


TOWN OF NORWOOD


been clear to them. Teachers were instructed not to fill out forms but to do everything possible in the way of giving information and advice so that the taxpayer himself could file a more intelligent return.


Naturalization Aid


Many inquiries not strictly concerned with naturalization are received at the school office during the course of a year. Such problems as the fol- lowing: "I am a Canadian citizen but I have lived here for a number of years and my home and family are here. My brother is dying in Canada and my mother with whom he lives has sent for me to come there. What must I do to insure my getting back into the United States without having any difficulty in crossing the border?"


Help has been given to people who have had documents lost or destroyed. Assistance has been given to people who wish changes made in their names. Help has also been given with the red tape involved in obtaining documents such as marriage and birth certificates from Immigration and Naturaliza- tion office files.


Many people who want to become citizens have found it impossible to attend classes this year. The Immigration and Naturalization Service had these people in mind when it published the book "Our Constitution and Government, A Home Study Course for Candidates For Naturaliza- tion." However, this book is too difficult for the majority of people applying for citizenship, but it is of use to some. Books and pamphlets have been loaned in some instances to persons who could not attend regu- lar classes this year. This year, also, there have been five cases of physically handicapped people who were seeking naturalization. Materials for study were given to some member of the applicant's family so that he might be helped at home in preparing for his naturalization examination.


This year 70 applications for first and second papers, and for registry were made out at the school office.


The only new change in the Naturalization laws this year is one which has no bearing on this community but may be of interest. Chinese are no longer excluded from the United States. The Chinese are now to be ad- mitted as immigrants under the quota which means that only 104 may be admitted annually. By this same law all Chinese who are here now may become naturalized. It is estimated that there are about 6,000 Chinese in Massachusetts but some of these are native-born and so are citizens by birth.


Mothers Classes


There are two day classes for women held at the Balch School this year. One is an English class and is held on Tuesdays and the other is a Citizen- ship class which meets on Thursdays. Twenty-one women are enrolled in these classes which are taught by the Supervisor.


Other Activities


In March, 1943, in conjunction with other Red Cross representatives the Supervisor gave a short talk to the Rotary Club on the subject of Home Nursing classes in Norwood.


219


REPORT OF SCHOOL DEPARTMENT


In September, at the request of Miss LeCompte, the Supervisor gave lectures followed by question periods to five social science classes at the Junior High School on the subject of Immigration and Naturalization. One school period was devoted to each class so that pupils might ask questions. It was gratifying to notice the interest which the pupils displayed in the various aspects of Immigration and Naturalization as evidenced by the worthwhile questions and problems brought up for discussion.


In June the Supervisor spoke briefly at the Closing Exercises of the Canton English and Citizenship classes.


Conclusion


I wish to express my appreciation for the help and advice given me by members of the School Department, Town Officials, and my gratitude to the local newspapers for the help that they have given in publicizing classes for adults.
