REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of Wayland :
The School Committee submits herewith its report for the past year. This is followed by reports of the Superin- tendent, the Principal of the High School and the School Physician.
The sum of $500 appropriated by the Town for the build- ing of a concrete sidewalk for the Cochituate school has not yet been expended, as the Committee were unable to obtain any estimate for the work which was within the amount ap- propiated. It seemed best, theefore, to postpone further ac- tion until there should be a reduction in the cost of materials and labor.
There are a number of repairs and improvements which the Committee have kept putting off which should be attended to now. Among them is the painting of the outside of the Wayland School Building and the woodwork of the Cochitu- ate building. To postpone this further will only add to the cost. An improvement, the need of which has been felt for some time, is the lighting of the Wayland school house, as on cloudy days the rooms are so dark as to interfere seriously with study and to endanger the children's eyesight. Electric fixtures have recently been installed in the Cochituate school, principally by the efforts of the school children who rais1 most of the necessary money, supplemented by private sub- wire the building as well as to install the fixtures and cons ?- scriptions. In the Wayland school it will be necessary to quently the cost is too great to be met in the same way.
159
During the past year a school lunch has been established in the Wayland school building enabling the pupils to ob- tain at cost a hot lunch. This was made possible by the ef- forts of a small committee of women who raised enough money to provide not only for the equipment and fitting up of a lunch room but for one half of the salary of a domestic „science teacher. The school provided the other half of the salary and a teacher was engaged with the understanding that she should in addition to giving courses in domestic science to the pupils in Wayland and Cochituate, take charge of the lunch. At present approximately forty make usd of the lunch daily.
A Parent Teachers Association in Wayland and in Co- chituate has recently been organized, with a view to making more intimate the relationship between parents and teachers and arousing the interest of the community in the schools. The organization has already done much toward accomplish- ing these objects and it is no small satisfaction to the Con- mittee to feel that the citizens are taking a more active in- terest in school matters. Such an interest can not fail to re- sult in the improvement of the schools.
The house in Wayland center for the teachers is still in operation and except for the charges for rent and coal is on a self supporting basis. The cost of the coal is being met this year by the proceeds of a dance managed by Mrs. Stone and the rent is being paid by private individuals. At present there are six teachers living in the house. The skillful man- agement of the house by Miss Allison has had much to do with putting it on a self supporting basis.
The salary question is still one of great importance. The salaries were increased during the past year to a minimum of $1000 in the grades and of $1200 in the High School. If we are to get and keep the right kind of teacher, the min- imum salary should be raised to $1200 and $1400 respectively
160
and a substantial maximum salary should be established, to be given by annual increases to all teachers who have done satis- factory work. Although there are a few teachers who out of loyalty to the school have remained with us many years at a salary little larger than that of a beginner, the majority do not feel able to resist the frequent calls to go elsewhere at higher salaries. The result is that the school is deprived of a teacher's services just as she is beginning to be of real value. The bad effect upon the school of these constant changes in the teaching staff and its resulting large proportion of teachers of little experience does not have to be enlarged upon. It is hoped that the suggested increases will result in the build- ing up of a reasonably permanent teaching force of first class teachers, which is absolutely necessary if the schools are to give the children the kind of training and education to which they are entitled.

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the School Committee of Wayland : Gentlemen :
I herewith submit my annual report as Superintendent of Wayland Public Schools. This is the twenty-fourth in the series and the eleventh of the present Superintendent.
The fiscal year just closed presents some unusual fea- tures in school administration in Wayland which should be noted herein for the benefit of those in town who may not fully understand the conditions pertaining to `expenditures and the needs of the coming year.
A year or so ago several women in the Center District interested themselves in the children of the Center School for the purpose of studying the needs there. The result of the study brought the serving of milk to children for a very small cost to each child, the weighing of the children twice for the purpose of studying the physical condition of all children. The cost of this work was met by using the funds returned to this District from the anti-tuberculosis subscriptions of the Center District. The study aroused the women thus inter- ested in the health of our school children to make efforts to provide means whereby luncheons including something quite substantial and healthful might be possible daily. A project was also launched to procure means for the purpose of em- ploying a visiting nurse.
The Wayland Center Branch of the Red Cross had funds
16%
on hand sufficient to employ a nurse for a year. The Chapter granted the request of the Branch to use the funds for the purpose, a Committte was appointed, residents of both vill- ages, the Red Cross appointed Mrs. McNeil and the work is under way. The records of the School Committee show that the Red Cross through its Town Committee offered a portion of the Nurse's time for work in the schools and that. the offer was accepted, the Nurse to work in the schools under the direction of the School Committee in the same manner as any other person employed by the Committee. As I under- stand the situation Mrs. McNeil's first duty is to attend to all emergency calls in town in so far as her time will permit ; to journey from home to home where there is need of a nurse for a short time sevice, daily if need be and possible for her to do so; to minister to the community in every possible way permissable along lines of social wefare, morality, and health. Thereafter Mrs McNeil will assist the School Phy- sician and supplement his work by following up cases of children reported in his examintation as out of condition. She will also give talks to the children on health, posture and so forth.
I have given a place for the foregoing paragraphs in this report because I have found some confusion existing in the minds of some in the community as to the situation pertaining to the employment of the Visiting Nurse and her duties. I trust it may be fully understood that Mrs. McNeil is subject to call to every home in the town if needed and desired. I hope we may all appreciate the fact that the work is new in this community, that doubtless some steps may be taken in connection with the work in the schools that will be mis- understood, that it will not be stange if Mrs. McNeil in her enthusiasm may err in her zealous efforts to launch health projects to which we must grow. So in placing this refer- ence to work not entirely connected with the schools in my re- port I would plead for honest criticisms of a constructive
