SCHOOL COMMITTEE'S REPORT


The School Committee submits reports for your consideration, as follows:


Superintendent of Schools Principal of High School School Physician School Nurse


and trust you will examine the same very carefully.


In starting the school year for 1924-25, we had three vacancies to fill-three in the High School and one in the Wayland Grade School, and we feel confident that our new staff have strengthened our organization very much.


Would like to call your attention to the domestic science course, and school lunch. It has been our en- deavor to give the pupils a lunch well prepared, of good quality, and at a moderate cost.


We would also like to call your attention to the very necessary repairs which we have made, without exceed- ing our appropriation-the new steel ceiling in the 5th and 6th grade room, painting and varnishing four rooms in the Wayland school, putting in new desks in the 7th and 8th grade room, the domestic science room has been improved by sheathing the interior with SHEETROCK, and adding one more radiator, which has made the room very much warmer. We also placed in the basement two fixtures for shower baths, using cold water.


Transportation


The transportation problem has been a bad one, on account of the discontinuance of the Middlesex & Bos- ton electric car, and has added to our burdens in regard to cost of transportation of the High School pupils, but believe we have furnished the very best possible. under existing circumstances.


We feel that the money which you have so gener- ously appropriated has been well invested in our schoo!


146


children, and it has been our aim to improve the schools rom year to year. We need you cooperation and help- ful criticism, and we welcome any suggestion to make our schools better, and give our children the very best instruction and training possible, but teachers cannot do it all, and parents should take a friendly interest in the schools and strengthen the teachers' work by backing them up at home.


New Room for Cochituate School


We are looking ahead in the matter of providing more room in this school, and trust you will support our plan to add two rooms to this building. It will not be necessary to open but one of these rooms for the school year of 1925-26. This will enable us to rearrange our classes to better advantage, as this year we have had to divide up some of our classes, putting in room No. 3 all of Grade 4, sixteen from Grade 3, and four from Grade 5, which is bad for teacher and pupil.


Our room capacity for present building is 232. Total registration for this year, 207, and probable registration for 1925-26 of 230 or more.


If we add two rooms, it will give us an increased capacity of 30%, which should take care of us for ten years.


When the present building was planned, it was with a look-ahead to this time when we would need more room, and the two rooms can be added without spoiling the looks of the building. Furthermore, we shall have a fine base- ment room to use for manual training, which we have had to omit this year, on account of transportation prob- lems. With a room in each building suitable for manual training, we can again secure a part time teacher, and give this course, which is very helpful to growing boys.


Play Ground Building


There is another matter which seems of vital importance at this time, and we are putting in the town warrant an article calling for a committee to look into the question of putting up a building on the playground adjoining the Wayland High School, such committee to make their report at our next annual town meeting. The needs of such a builiding is very great, as at the present time, our athletic teams are handicapped in not having


147


proper facilities in the shape of lockers, shower baths, and gymnasium 'apparatus and you will note in our re- port above, the fact that we had to put in shower bath fixtures in the basement of the Wayland school which use cold water only, and they are no great inducement for the boys to use in the cold weather of the fall, when our football team is in great need of something of this sort.


If we had a suitable building, it would add greatly to the athletic activities of the High School, both for girls and boys, for with a proper arrangement of gym- nasium apparatus, and a chance to play basket ball, it would be a helpful form of recreation and strengthen the children, both mentally and physically.


If our town is to grow in the right direction, it must offer to the right type of people a good school, well equipped and some form of recreation for the children.


Respectfully submitted,


ERNEST E. SPARKS GRACE C. BOND LLEWELLYN MILLS
