RESOLUTION
EDNA ELIZABETH FROST
The retirement of Miss Edna Elizabeth Frost following fifty years of service as a teacher, forces upon us the realization of the invaluable contribution which she has rendered to our society.
Ever an inspiring leader in all things related to her chosen field of work, she has been identified with all that is good in civil and pro- fessional circles.
The people of Norwood regret her passing from active duty. They may, however, reflect upon the constructively good works with the accomplish- ment of which she has had a most active participation.
We, Members of the Norwood School Committee. desire to make known to her the high measure of esteem and friendship in which she is held by us and by all members of our Town. We resolve that she be so informed and that a copy of this resolution be spread upon the records of our meeting.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of Norwood:
The reports of the Superintendent, Principals, and Supervisors, present vital facts related to Norwood Schools. Items which the School Committee regards re- portable and not included in the aforementioned reports are submitted herewith.
Gifts -Friends of Young People
For many years Parent-Teacher goups formed in each of our school districts and town-wide in the case of both the Junior High and Senior High Schools have, in their quiet ways contributed substantial sums for the purchase of many kinds of equipment which have made it possible for us to make schools more interesting and effective.
We are especially grateful to those organizations which, though they have no direct affiliation or connection with schools, continue to contribute to their welfare. The Norwood Rotary Club for several years, and, as part of its devotion to the ideal of Service has made large contributions. This year, the sum of one thousand dollars for the purchase of musical instruments to be used in the schools was donated by the Rotary Club. The instruments purchased with this money included 4 mellophones, 1 oboe, and 1 Kay Bass Viol. The reader will note that these are the kinds of instrument which the parent of the average child is unable or unwill- ing to purchase. They are nevertheless the instruments which give balance to instrumentation and are necessary for good band and orchestra work. Frequently the youngster who finds himself proficient in playing the extraordinary instrument will finally have one of his own.
The Curtain-Timers, a young, enthusiastic and helpful group devoted to the study and presentation of good drama also contributed $100 with which a flute and case were purchased for use in our schools.
The Norwood Womens' Community Committee presented to the Henry O. Peabody School for Girls, a beautiful silver tea service in memory of Maude Ray Hartwell who for many years was significantly identified both with the Womens' Community Committee and with the Henry O. Peabody School.
Experience Rule - So-called
A rule of long-standing which required that a teacher to be eligible for ap- pointment as a permanent regular full-time teacher in the Norwood Schools, must
246
TOWN OF NORWOOD
have at least one full year of teaching experience or its equivalent, has this year been superseded by a rule which requires only that, to be eligible for appointment as a full-time regular teacher in Norwood Schools, a candidate must possess a Certificate issued by the State Department of Education of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Age Limit - January 1-6 years
Another rule of long standing has this year "gone by the boards", that which governs admission to the first grade. For many years and until September 1954, a child to be eligible for admission to grade one in September, must have been 6 years of age on or before March Ist of the year following. Now the rule requires that the child must be 6 years of age on or before January Ist of the year following. Apart from the fact that this change in rule will relieve, temporarily, crowding in our elementary schools, it will (more important), place certain childen in first grade when they are more mature, and, on that account, probably more ready for the work of the first grade.
Open Meetings
Again, this year, the School Committee has entertained its invited guests, repre- sentative of the several Parent-Teacher Associations to all meetings of the School Committee throughout the year.
Invitations and committee meeting announcements are made through the Presi- dent of the P. T. A. Council, Mr. John Cronin.
There seems to be a general feeling among both School Committee Members and delegates from the several P. T. A.'s, that all groups may be mutually more helpful if mutually they are familiar with, and understand each others' problems.
Callahan School Addition - More
For several years, the School Committee has been concerned about the need for additional school housing. In its annual reports and in open Town Meetings, the need has been presented.
Results, to date, have been, however, quite disappointing.
Notwithstanding the fact that the recently constructed addition to the Callahan School provides 5 additional classrooms, the building is now full and crowding enrollments in each of the other schools will make necessary the adoption of ex- traordinary and undersirable expedients by the time we are planning to open schools in September 1955.
Not the least among these arrangements will be the probability of elimina- tion of the kindergarten program which has come to be an effective and desirable feature of our school program.
Unless something is done to provide additional school housing immediately, we will, in all likelihood also have to contemplate the possibility of platoon arrange- ments.

JOHN J. CAVANAUGH EDWARD H. THOMPSON C. JAMES CLEARY JOHN F. KILEY FRANCES L. BLANCHOT JOHN F. REYNOLDS
REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
Herewith I submit my nineteenth report as Superintendent of Schools. There are included in my report such statements as may well have been, but, for one or another reason, have not been made by others in the Report of the School Com- mittee.
Special Classes
During the past year, much has appeared in all media of communication which reveals a tremendous public interest in what is being done or what ought to be done for handicapped children.
Virtually there are none among us who are not sympathetic and who will not do all we can to alleviate the suffering or make more happy the lot of the un- fortunate, be he adult or child.
However, we must all recognize the fact that the traditional school, the school which we have always known; has been, and still is, ill-equipped to do the kind of work which we would like to do with certain sub-normal and abnormal children.
Recent legislation aimed at an improvement in programs for exceptional children (in this case, sub-normal) employ terms which are new to many. Such terms as "educable " "trainable" as applied to children will quickly suggest the type of child for whom the public school must eventually provide.
If we will be honest with ourselves, we must admit that, while experts in the field may have the "know-how" the great teaching field which we have known does not, when it comes to caring for these children as they should be provided for.
The physical facilities, the classroom materials, the program itself, to be effec- tive in administering to the highly specialized needs of this class of children are not the tools of the ordinary teacher.
Therefore, although we are sympathetic, we must for the time being at least, insist that our public schools as now organized have not the equipment necessary to do for these children what we all would like to do.
249
REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
Moreover, as Miss Marcionette suggests in her report, we must be careful to see that, in our efforts to help certain of these children, we do not either guide them into the wrong program or hurt the interests of others in so doing.
While vocational competence is desirable as an objective for all children, it is a mistake to conclude that all children belong in the Vocational School as it is now organized.
Testing
During the school year 1953-1954, the Division of Test Research and Service of the World Book Company provided all test materials and service necessary to test, score, and interpret the results of a program in which 1611 unselected Nor- wood pupils in grades two to nine participated.
The World Book Company was anxious to have Norwood participate along with many other communities throughout the United States for purposes of equat- ing norms established for older forms of the Stanford Achievement Test and the Otis Quick-Scoring Mental Ability Tests, with the new norms for new tests bearing the same titles.
We, in Norwood, were interested in learning where we stand in comparison with others in the whole field covered by the tests mentioned above.
A brief statement concerning results is that our children are a little above average in intelligence and that we are doing a better than satisfactory job in our teaching.
Specifically in the areas of Paragraph Meaning, Word Meaning, Language usage, Social Studies, Science, and Study Skills, our performance is superior. In the area of Arithmetic reasoning and computation our scores are slightly (and only slightly) below grade.
This year we have a new committee working under the able leadership of Mr. Napoleone and addressing itself to a study of the problem of making our arithmetic teaching in the Norwood Schools more effective.
Maintenance of Plant
The fact that, for several years, we have been spending annually approximately $100,000 for maintenance of our plant and that we still have far to go before our our buildings are satisfactory from the standpoint of acceptable standards, is dis- couraging.
This is so, largely due to the fact that we can see the immediate need for the building of new and expensive school plants which will bear heavily upon the Norwood Tax structure for many years.
There are still to be done such major items as new furniture and fluroescent lighting in several schools, lunchroom and kitchen faciltities in several schools, general purpose assembly halls in several schools including the Senior High School. A field house and bleacher facility must some day take the place of the wooden stands which even now may be dangerous.
These are but a few of the maintenance projects which will some day be required.
250
TOWN OF NORWOOD
It is a pleasure to report that our Junior High School and Senior High School Gymnasia are no longer ill-lighted. The work which was done this past summer in the interior decoration of the whole of the Junior High School Building and in the Senior High School Gymnasium under the supervision of Mr. Lunsman is most satisfactory.
Conclusion
May I take this opportunity to express to our teachers a word of welcome and satisfactory, to our older teachers and other co-workers a word of gratitude and to the School Committee, a word of appreciation for the helpful support and en- couragement which has been given me.
