REPORT OF BOARD OF HEALTH


The Board of Health respectfully submit the fol- lowing report for the year ending December 31, 1922.


By far the greatest activity of the Board was di- rected to problems connected with sewerage disposal. camps and rented properties were for the most part con- cerned. Their privies were inspected and orders given for their being put into sanitary condition after com- plaints had been made as to their condition. With the cooperation of the state Department of Health Division of Engineering, plans are under way for the proper dis- posal of the sewerage of the Mansion Inn, other in- stances includes one wherein a faulty privey was in dan- ger of polluting an ice supply.


The sewerage plant of the Wayland school was found to be inadequate which condition was called to the attention of the school committee and is to be rem- idied. All commercial piggeries were inspected in re- gard to oders, flies and other nuisances. One garbage dump of several hundred cords was required to be buried.


A drainage ditch in the Wayland Center District, the subject of instruction by the Town Meeting of Sept- ember 1921 to your board, has received attention to the extent of the limited funds of the Board's appropria- tion.


In 1921, 619 feet of the lower end were dynamited clean and by September 1, 1922 another 216 feet has been similarly. Several of the abutting owners have cleaned their portion and the Board will endeavor to have the remainder cleaned in the present year. A second ditch in precinct was cleaned out and made to flow properly.


All sink holes and other stagnant water have been sprayed with crude oil against mosquitoes. An unrecog-


56


nized case of diphtheria was found in the Wayland School after symptoms had developed and after the child concerned had exposed his schoolmates for several days.


In view of the dangerous circumstances, your board in cooperation with the school committee, decided to cul- ture the throats and noses of the children in the lower grades, the school session being meanwhile continued. Seventy one cultures of children and adults in immediate contact with them were taken and examined by the State Department of Health laboratory. All were fortunately negative. This method of handling the situation demon- strated what individual were or were not harboring dangerous disease organisms and permitted school ses- sions to continue without interruption.


In view of the widespread outbreaks of diphtheria, scarlet fever and other dangerous communicable diseases in neighboring towns, your board respectfully calls atten- tion to the wisdom of being careful about allowing our children to visit other towns indiscriminately.

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE


To the Citizens of Wayland :


The School Committee submits herewith its report for the year 1922.


In 1921 a law was passed making it compulsory for public schools to employ a school nurse. From Decem- ber 1920 to December 1921 a Red Cross Nurse whose sal- ary was paid by the Weston Chapter of the Red Coss was serving as District Nurse in Wayland. During this time she devoted, under the supervision of the School Com- mittee, a part of her time to the school. When her sal- ary from the Red Cross expired in December 1921 a sum of money was appropriated by the town to continue her services until the regular town meeting in March. At this meeting the sum of $1500 was appropriated to pay her salary for the ensuing year and by a subsequent vote of the Selectmen the School Committee was given super- vision of both her school and district work. The School Committee appointed a sub-committee of two ladies from Cochituate and two from Wayland Center to help supervise the district work. As a rule she has devoted the mornings to the school work and the afternoons to district work. Her work in the school has been of great value in building up the health of the children and in preventing the spread of contagion. For an account of her district work you are referred to her own report. It may be well to call attention to the fact that a small charge is made for the nurse's visits, the cost of an or- dinary visit being fifty cents and for an obsetrical case five dollars. The charges are in accord with the charges made for the services of public health nurses in other towns and it is important that they should be met promptly. The receipts do not, as some people seem to think. go to the nurse,, but are used to pay for nursing supplies, telephone bills and the expense of running the nurse's car. A financial statement follows:

The Grammar Schools have again been tested by the Harvard Graduate School of Education. The result is gratifying in that the report shows a distinct raising of standards over the preceeding year. It is believed that the improvement is due to a large extent to the salary scale put into effect two years ago whereby it has been possible to get and retain teachers of high ability.


Attention should be called to the increase in num- bers in the High School. The enrollment is now 82 as compared with 48 four years ago. As the number of pupils in the grades is also larger than ever before, the prospect for a still larger high school in the future is very bright. This is encouraging, in view of the sug- gestion from certain quarters in the past that the high school should be abolished.


It will not do, however, to be satisfied merely with a large registration. It is of the utmost importance to in- still into the high school students a better spirit of work and to raise the standard of scholarship. As one of the important steps toward accomplishing this end it is necessary to recognize frankly the fact that every year there will inevitably be some pupils who will not be cap- able of doing high school work. There is a natural ten-


67


dency, due to a mistaken kindness of heart and to pres- sure from the parents to pass on into high school a pupil who has tried hard, but whose record is so thoroughly poor as to indicate clearly a lack of capacity for contin- uing his studies further. There is the same tendency to retain in the high school a pupil who has reached a point where no further progress is being made. It would be far better, both for the individuals and for the school as a whole, to eliminate such pupils from the high school. They are merely wasting their time in struggling to do something for which they are unfitted when they could be doing profitable work elsewhere; and what is still more important, the carrying of such boys and girls is bound to result in a slowing up of the whole school and a lowering of the general standard of work.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS


To the Wayland School Committee:


Gentlemen,-


Herewith is submitted the twenty-sixth annual re- port of the Superintendent of Schools. Your attention is directed to the reports of the School Physician, Su- pervisor of Household Arts, High School Principal and School Nurse.


"You can bear me witness that I have endeavored to convince you of man's inextinguishable individuality, and of the organic nature of Society, that there is no right way without a parallel duty, no liberty without the supremacy of the law, and no high destiny without per- severance-that there can be no greatness without self- denial." -From Francis Lieber's prefactory address to former pupils prefixed to "Civil Liberty."


Wayland Schools are endeavoring to square them- selves so as to conform to the need of the development of the individual, to become truly social centers, to so or- ganize the work of the day that duty, law and liberty may prevail, coexisting harmoniously.


Wayland teachers are endeavoring to impress upon their pupils the fact that there can be no high grade of scholarship without persistent effort and self-denial. Nature's physical and mental gifts may be bountiful. Inactivity, indolence, indifference are characteristics that defeat nature's design and cause opportunities to go begging. Lack of ambition, lack of an objective in life, too great faith in some chance happening that will offset indifferent effort oftentimes prevent boys and girls from making their development time rich with habits of industry and self-sacrifice. Frequently, infer- ior types surpass the brilliant ones because of persistent. consistent vigorous effort to attain mental poise and


74


power. Wayland teachers try daily to make honest ef- fort to excel a meritorious goal.


In studying the work of the school room the fact that one teacher in a grade room is obliged to teach fif- teen subjects stands out predominantly. If the teacher must meet two grades the number of subjects are not increased but the lessons to be prepared are doublied. A two grade room or school offers two sets of ages, each having its own distinctive point of view and each its own need.


In May 1922 the schools were again surveyed as to intelligence and progress by the Harvard University School of Education.


The Center Grammar School showed that much im- provement had been made during the year following the first survey. The employment of experienced teachers of real merit as educators, with fewer changes in the teaching force, have assisted materially in this improve- ment.


In some of the subjects all grades in both schools stood higher than the year before while in one of the subjects there was a distinct slump. In calling your at- tention to the number of subjects a teacher and her children have to handle I had in mind one of the difficul- ties confronting teacher and pupils. The emphasis of all fifteen subjects every year in a two grade room so that all children may show average attainments in all subjects is a considerable task even were teachers em- ployed who can instruct in so many lines equally success- fully.


The Wayland Parent-Teacher Association has again raised the funds for the award of a scholarship to some member of the Senior Class. This Associatin has per- formed much work for the betterment of the schools. Teachers, school officials, parents, and community are are grateful to the workers of this organization.


The Cochituate Parent-Teacher Association has been active during the year and has succeeded in creating much interest in a better understanding of the teacher's prob- lem. The child has a problem as well as the teacher. Parents who visit the school and are active in the asso-


75


ciation are realizing more fully that school means prob- lems and business for children. This Association has interested many people in town to support a movement to secure a new piano. The instrument now adorns one of the rooms and is giving highly satisfactory service to the school and Association.


The increasing number of children in the Cochituate District indicates that soon another room will be needed. The sub-primary work has been abolished. The age of entrance has been raised to five years six months. This change in school work and the size of certain grades has caused many adjustments, both temporary and construc- tive in nature, difficult for parents to understand fully, but necessary for the administration of the building an- other year under a strictly eight grade system. You will note that there are 191 children enrolled.


The seating capacity of the Cochituate School is 210, 19 more than the current enrollment. Twenty-four more seats may be installed in the building. Should the number of children increase as greatly in the coming two years as in the past two an addition of two more rooms according to the plan of the building will be quite necessary.


The high school registration is 83, one more than was recorded at the time Prinicpal Allen submitted his report, current registration being 76. Three years ago there were less than fifty enrolled at this season. The registration another September bids fair to be in the neighborhood of 90. The capacity of the high school will begin to be taxed at the 100 mark. Another teacher will be needed if the number of students remains as high as at present.


The Center School and High School need a lunch room, a more commodious kitchen for teaching cookery and preparing for the large patronage of the lunch count- er, a sewing room, laboratories, in fact, utilitarian quar- ters that will provide for activities of a general nature. Physical Education cannot be given students without suitable quarters and conveniences for same.


It may be but a dream, this vision of the Center School offering a greater variety of training than can at present be given but dreams sometimes come true.

They are the advance guards of all onslaughts for ad- vancement in every line of business. They prevent the petrifying activity of school room monotony so that teachers remain young in heart and mind and soul al- though bearing the outward seams and scars of years. We who are deep in the work of education must dream of educational betterment.


There are groups of boys and girls in the Wayland Schools, especially in the High School, who need a more diversified curriculum than is now offered.


You will note from our accounts that the cost of transportation has increased and that the figures sub- mitted for another fiscal year are still higher. The greater number of children transported by the cars, the restoration of the barge system in the Connecticut Path region, and the extra expense incurred in getting high school pupils from Cochituate to Wayland on account of the snows and vacated cars rails account for the increas- ed estimate.


Study may well be given the transportation ex- penses. Unless the Town elects to be less generous in the matter of transportation of children there is little prospect of the bill for this service being reduced. Way- land has always been most generous in the extention of her car and barge service.


The hearty co-operation of your teachers and other school employees is much appreciated.
