May I present my first annual report as your Superintendent of Schools.
Purposes and Achievements of American Education
When American education is reappraised, its unique connection with American democracy must be understood. The democratic faith created the American pattern of education. The American belief in free public, universal education is rooted in two fundamental ideas: (1) that if popular government is to succeed, the people must be en- lightened and (2) that equal opportunity must be open to all. Appli- cation of these ideas has lead to high school education open to all and advanced education for a larger percentage of the people than in any other nation.
The American attempt to provide universal twelve-year education is without parallel in history. The educational system of most nations have usually been two-fold in character, with secondary schools for the bright, who are to become an elite, and other schools for the masses.
Just as the purposes of the American school are unprecedented, so are its achievements. To it the American pepole owe the unity which has enabled them to master a continent and to forge from immigrant diversity a single people. It has fostered the diversification of talents, the ingenuity, and the productivity which have brought this

society to the highest level of economic prosperity ever known. On it are based many of the great American scientific and technological advances. And, perhaps most important of all, the spiritual stamina and fervor for freedom which have preserved individual liberty and guarded equality of opportunity through war and hardship have been derived from American Education.
American leaders in public life or in private occupations come not from one class or one economic level; they rise from every section of the people and possess widely varied talents. The country needs an educational system which attracts leaders from every source and provides for the talented without divorcing them from the greater society.
Gifted pupils should be identified early and given early oppor- tunities to challenge their powers and develop their talents to the full- est. They should be motivated to high achievement and should have a sense of responsibility for the wise and socially profitable employ- ment of their abilities. It is extremely important that a larger pro- portion of these young people seek higher education. Wide and flex- ible programs are needed to identify talents and to plan for them that combination of general studies which will develop them as good citi- zens and advanced courses which will develop their talents to the fullest.
At the same time it is extremely important that the school pro- gram be wide and flexible to accomodate all pupils of varied ability and talents.
This can be done and is being done at King Philip Regional High School without prejudice to the democratic school spirit or to the status of students who progress at varying rates of speed and varying depths of scholarship.
No brief annual report can do justice to the magnitude and almost infinite variety of the educational program of King Philip Regional High School. It is a large enterprise that ministers to the needs of all boys and girls from Grades 7 to 12; richly diversified in its curricular offerings, comprehensive in its provisions for the intellectual, spiritual, physical, civic, social, emotional, and esthetic growth of pupils; sensi- tive to each pupil's patern of capacities, needs and aims, enjoying the services of energetic departments of research and curriculum, guid- ance, audio-visual aids, and health and safety education; and ever alert to add the best of the new insights of educational psychology and research.
131
ANNUAL REPORT
1957
National welfare demands not only the education of the outstand- ingly able but also the best possible education of all students. America requires trained talents of every type.
Teaching Personnel
The quality of learning in schools depends upon skillful teaching. None of the other needs of education can be met without a substantial increase in the number of competent teachers.
A well-trained, wholesome, efficient staff is vital to the attaining of a high standard of education in any community. In order to provide this type of staff, it is necessary that salaries be such as to allow for recruitment and retention of desirable personnel, in competition both with other communities and increasingly in competition with non- school employment. Competition for the good teacher is very intense. It is important that we be able to secure a reasonable number of experienced teachers if the needs of your children are to be adequately met. Professional personnel must have reasonable economic security if they are to operate efficiently in the work in the classroom in close contact with the child and his educational development.
We at King Philip Regional High School have a highly qualified teaching staff who are doing tremendous work in the education of your children.
School Transportation
The contract for transporting the pupils of King Philip Regional School District for the next three years was awarded to Mansfield Garage of Mansfield, Massachusetts. This company has done a com- mendable job in transportation and has helped us solve the many district transportation problems.
In conclusion, I wish to express my sincere thanks and apprecia- tion to you, members of the School Committee, for the cooperation and support given me during the past year. My appreciation is also extended to the teachers and school personnel for their cooperation, so essential to the establishment of the school.
Respectfully submitted,
FREDERICK J. DELANEY Superintendent of Schools

"NO SCHOOL" SIGNALS
The sirens in Wrentham, Sheldonville, Plainville, and Norfolk fire stations will be used to sound the signal. The "No School" signal will be:
2 BLASTS - 4 TIMES
Signal will have the following meaning:
7:00 A.M. - Omit session in Grades 7 - 12
"No School" signals will be used only when weather conditions are unusually severe, or in cases of emergencies. The scattered population of the district and the extensive pupil transportation system make it necessary to sound the signal, if at all, a considerable time in advance of the opening hour of the school session. It occasionally happens that weather conditions which appear promising at the hour the signal should be sounded become severe by the time pupils start for school. Parents are requested to use their own judgment in such cases as to whether or not your son or daughter should attend a school session.
When school sessions are to be called off because of weather conditions, announcement will be made over radio station, WBZ- Boston, and WARA-Attleboro. Parents should tune their radios to these stations between 6:30 A.M. and 7:30 A.M. if in doubt as to whether or not school will be in session.
Should it become necessary to dismiss school before the usual closing time, announcement will be made over those same stations.
REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF KING PHILIP REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
To the Superintndent of Schools, Regional School Committee, and citizens of the District
I would like to thank the King Philip Regional School District for giving me the opportunity to plan a program for the new high school.
A teacher planning group was organized and met weekly in one of the three communities. They worked on the selection of subjects to be taught first. The selection of subjects to be offered was com-
1957
TOWN OF PLAINVILLE

pleted and the next task was the selection of all textbooks to be used in teaching the subjects. The teacher planning group is to be com- mended on an excellent selection of textbooks at three vocabulary levels.
All students in the King Philip Regional High School District were tested through the cooperation of the local schools. The Iowa Test of Educational Development was given to Grades 9 through 12 and the Science Research Associate Achievement Test was given to Grades 6, 7, and 8. The test results provide specific information to both par- ents and teachers. Many parents have held conferences with the Guid- ance Director in planning what subjects their sons and daughters would be taking at King Philip.
The program for King Philip students is a three track program that offers an opportunity for maximum achievement to all students. All students are grouped into three different levels of learning. These levels are determined by three factors: (1) Ability to learn, (2) Past achievement, and (3) Past performance. The ability to learn as meas- ured by several tests of God given ability, past achievement or the total of what the student now knows, and past performance is the measure of how hard the student worked and how he was graded by the teachers.
The program for King Philip is planned and organized to carry out the objectives of the school.
King Philip Regional High School program should be planned and operated for all pupils. In a democracy it is the responsibility of the public schools to educate all youth. The program must offer equal opportunities to achieve, to participate, and gain recognition to all pupils.
King Philip Regional High School should offer an opportunity for maximum achievement in terms of the pupil's individual ability and interests. Attainable standards of achievement should be geared to the ability and needs of the pupil. Each pupil should be challenged to work to his greatest capacity.
King Philip Regional High School organization should be an example of democracy in action. Relationships between administra- tion, staff, pupil, and public should take account of the rights and responsibility of each group.
135
ANNUAL REPORT
1957
King Philip Regional High School exists to meet pupil needs. Administration, staff, and custodial personnel are means to the end of providing the most effective education for the pupils. Important policy decisions or program planning should first consider what is best for the pupils.
King Philip Regional High School should serve the Regional Dis- trict. The school building should be a regional center open to large and small groups, and the administration, staff, and students should be of service to the communities. The citizens of the communities should be kept informed on school matters at all times.

In conclustion, as this report goes to press, the Committee and Staff are planning to hold "Open House" for the general inspection of the building by the citizens of the three towns on February 15th. A sub-committee has been appointed to work on this event and to plan for the dedication of the school later in the spring.
Plans are under way for classes in various types of Adult Educa- tion and for broadening the scope of the school's activities for the benefit of the three towns.
It is the hope of the Committee and Staff that the educational and recreational facilities of the King Philip Regional High School will be fully attended by all adults of the region thereby promoting higher educational standards and the general good of the area.
