ANNUAL REPORT REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
1963
To the Citizens of Plainville:
The most pressing problem of the Plainville Elementary School in 1963 was the housing of over 570 pupils in a 20-classroom building. In many cases overcrowding of classrooms has resulted. In the Fall of 1964 with an estimated enrollment of 600 pupils, the situation will be even worse. To provide the needed school housing, this Committee has worked actively with the School Building Committee on the proposed new elemen- tary school building on Route 106.
This year again results of scores on Science Research Associates (SRA) tests taken by grades 2 - 6 were all above national averages in all subject areas. Credit for achieving these excellent results must be given to Carl Green, Superintendent; Joseph Ambers, Principal; and the dedicated staff of teachers and supervisors.
During the year, the Committee has adopted a program for continu- ing review of both modern and standard concepts of organization, teach- ing methods and curriculum material. Possible use of team-teaching or ungraded classes has been provided for in the educational specifications for the new school building.
Special Education has received increasing attention. We have been fortunate to have the services of a highly qualified speech therapist for one day a week. Transportation and tuition to special classes for the handicapped have been provided as required by law. Special classes in cooperation with neighboring towns are a possibility for the future.
Items for upkeep of the school property were additional pumps and radiators for the heating system of the new wing, repairs to the marquee, removal of dead and damaged tree limbs and painting of outside metal trim. Condition of the building and grounds is good and with continua- tion of the preventative maintenance program no large expenses are anticipated.
The Committee wishes to commend Mrs. Evelyn Snell and her lunch- room staff; Albert Pothier and his custodial staff; Mrs. Jeannette Pray, school nurse; and Mrs. Dorothy Andrews, clerk, for carrying out their responsibilities efficiently and thoroughly.

The School Committee wants to particularly thank the P. T. A. spon- sored library committee headed by Mesdames Lois Nelson, Frances Casey and Rita LaCasio. The library program carried out by the volun- teer mothers has played an important part in creating interest and help- ing to form good reading habits. Thanks are also due to the P. T. A. for their gifts of six portable phonographs; and to the Teachers' Club for their gifts of books for the library.
The Committee expresses its appreciation to all the various town departments that have cooperated with the school department.

ANNUAL REPORT
1963
REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the Plainville School Committee:
I consider it a privilege to submit to you my fourth annual report.
Introduction
The school year ending June 21, 1963 enrolled the last group of pupils that could be adequately housed in our present building. Again test results in April showed excellent results as measured against national norms. These results are remarkable when it is recognized that Plainville's ex- penditures for education are low as compared with other towns in the Commonwealth.
Enrollment
School closed in June 1963 with 541 pupils and has reached a high of 577 in this Fall of 1963. Our projection of 575 was quite accurate. Simple arithmetic shows that we have about 29 pupils for each teacher which is 9 pupils per teacher over an ideal 20 and 4 over the adequate 25 pupils per teacher. We are also in need of a special class but have been able up to now to make arrangements with Wrentham State School and with the Attleboro Schools for pupils who require this special educa- tion. Ten rooms have over 30 pupils and one has been up to 39 this year. These conditions can be lived with for short periods but failure to provide space soon will reduce the quality of education for Plainville's boys and girls.
Teaching Staff
Only two changes were made in our teaching staff for the 1963-64 school year and no new positions were added. Mrs. Helen Munroe started the year as a sixth grade teacher. She passed away on November 26, creating a vacancy to be filled in mid-year. An additional teacher will probably be needed in September 1964 with 21 groups of children the minimum.
School Facilities
We have been crowding more and more pupils into the same 20 rooms since September 1960. Because we changed the entrance age from 5 years 6 months to 5 years 8 months in 1961, we have a small third grade
104
TOWN OF PLAINVILLE

this year that can be divided into 3 sections next year. All new first grades now require 4 sections. Our grouping for next year should be:
Grade 1
4 sections
Grade 2
4 sections
Grade 3
4 sections
Grade 4
3 sections
Grade 5 4 sections
Grade 6
3 sections
Special Class
1 section
Total
23 sections
Thus, we should have twenty-three rooms as a minimum to operate a good program for the 1964-65 school year.
Any persons doubting our crowded conditions may see for themselves by a short visit while school is in session.
For the calendar year ending December 31, 1961 the Education Plan- ning Committee recommended "That necessary steps be taken to provide additional classroom space for the elementary grades". (1961 Town Report pg. 131) and this committee also said, "The Education Planning Committee recommends that a new Elementary School be built on a new site centrally located for population growth." For the year ending Decem- ber 31, 1962 the School Expansion Needs Committee stated, "that the educational needs of the town would be best served by construction of a ten to twelve room school, on a site other than the present school loca- tion, preferably built with a service core (i.e. plumbing, heating, units, etc.) to be expanded later into a 20 classroom building with a 500 pupil capacity." (1962 Town Report pg. 90). These two responsible committees have both pointed up an immediate need for construction of elementary school facilities. They have studied thoroughly over a three-year period and have explored all alternatives.
Transportation
We started the year with 6 buses but added a seventh as the numbers to be transported and the distances to be covered bcame excessive. A change in the closing time at King Philip also made the time element a factor. We were getting out at 2:15 and King Philip at 3:00 p.m. When King Philip changed to a 2:23 dismissal time, we had to move up our closing time to 2:05. We moved up our morning bell from 8:35 to 8:30 and cut 10 minutes at noon to maintain the same length school day. This bus timing is probably only a one year problem.

Special Education
Each year as our enrollment goes up there is more need for Special Education. At present we are paying tuition and making other provis- ions such as transportation. and home study. We really have no choice in these programs as they are mandatory ones. Money budgeted is get- ting to be enough so that when we have space we should run our own program. There are many advantages to having our own program but we may be faced with denial of admission by the schools which now take our pupils and have to proceed on our own whether we want to or not. Speech Therapy is a part of Special Education and is covered else- where in more detail. All of these programs are 50% reimbursed by state funds.
Grouping
We have continued the so-called homogeneous group in all but the first grades. It should be understood that there are really no homogeneous (uniform) children. In a normal population, about 7 of 100 would place in the top group, about 23 of 100 in the second group, about 40 of 100 in the middle group, about 23 of 100 in the fourth, and again 7 of 100 in the lowest group. (This formula of normal curve seems to apply to almost all activities). Our testing indicates that in each high group 6 or 7 children really belong in a high group and that only 3 or 4 really belong in each low group.
The first class placed in homogeneous groups is our present sixth grade. After 5 years some observations can be made. Comparisons in results must wait until June but some facts are evident now. For Sep- tember 1959, 92 pupils were grouped in 4 sections. For September 1963, 91 pupils were grouped in 3 sections. The need to change from 4 to 3 sections in itself makes the concept of homogeneous group a questionable practice. These are figures on the original 92. Seventy-three have fin- ished with 5 years of homogeneous grouping, 3 repeated a year and are in the 5th grade now, and 16 have moved away. Also the following table compares the present placement to that of 1959.

Movement up and down from groups is slight and mainly due to changing from 4 to 3 sections. It will be interesting to compare test results of these 73 in June with previous classes which were in heterogeneous groups.
Research on grouping reviewed by Jane Franseth of the U. S. Office of Education, completed in June 1963, concluded "On the average, achievement gains made by pupils in classrooms representing more than the usual range of differences among pupils were higher than the aver- age gains made by pupils in ability-grouped classrooms."
Noon Lunch
We have set new records again as to the numbers of pupils partici- pating in the noon lunch program. Prices have been kept at 20c for lunches with milk, and 3c for half-pints of milk only. Mrs. Evelyn Snell supervised the lunch program for the year ending June 1963. The same staff are with us for the 1963-64 year. Mrs. Snell, Mrs. Edythe Stafford and Mrs. Ethel Cooper. And again this program is still a self-supporting one. Over 80% of the children take advantage of the hot lunches and close to 100% have milk.
School Physician
Dr. John T. Cotter
The annual examination of the scheduled students of the Plainville School is being conducted at this time. Enlarged and infected tonsils and adenoids continue to be the most frequent problems encountered and reported. Postural defects rate second.
The general health of the students is good. In the winter and spring of 1963, the major cause of absence was respiratory infection, associated with a rather severe winter. No new physical defects of major importance has been seen to date in the examination now being conducted. Two known heart cases are improved.
It has been a pleasure to serve as your school physician and I wish to thank the school nurse, Jeannette Pray, R.N., and the members of the faculty for their assistance and cooperation in conducting these exami- nations.

Dental Program Patricia Fowler, Dental Hygienist
In 1963, 435 children in grades three through six had dental X-rays and examinations in conjunction with the Tufts Dental School Program. This program has been extended to include grades seven through ten at King Philip Regional High School.
We wish to thank everybody for their cooperation thus far.
Speech Therapy Mrs. Mary Voegtlin
During the month of February we were fortunate in obtaining the services of a speech therapist, Mrs. Mary Voegtlin of Quincy. At present 24 children, with various speech needs, are working once a week on programs of speech improvement with her. A planned program of out- side exercise and practice supplements these weekly sessions.
Heating Alterations in New Wing
Each winter we have had days of inconvenience in the new wing due to "bugs" in the heating system. To correct this we have added fin tubes to that existing in the offices, installed new fin tube in the corridor and changed the pumps in the furnace room from 44 to 190 gals. per minute pumps. Loss of one school day would cost more than the cost of these alterations.
It should be noted that each year some maintenance is done on the building. This program, combined with excellent care by head custodian Al Pothier and assistant Aram Pothier, prevents deterioration to the point where major repairs are needed. Neglect can result in excessive costs in future years.
Summary
Plainville's educational program has tended to be a conservative one with changes coming slowly and new programs added only after they have proven themselves in other communities. Present knowledge indi- cates that an early start, in a program that accepts wide differences in ability and desire as normal, provides the best educational opportunity for all children. An expansion of our program to include kindergarten,
108
TOWN OF PLAINVILLE
1963
special teachers for mathematics, science and physical education and special classes at both ends of the academic scale, should be studied when space is available to house these programs. Failure to provide adequate education leaves a debt for future generations in welfare pro- grams, delinquency, human misery and other such unwanted areas that cannot be measured in money alone. No investment pays better dividends than that put in education.
This has been an interesting and rewarding year, and I want to thank the School Committee, the Staff and the Townspeople for their assistance and cooperation in making it a good year. Your continued support will insure the educational program that Plainville boys and girls deserve.
Respectfully submitted,
CARL W. GREEN, Superintendent

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN OF THE KING PHILIP
REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT COMMITTEE
It is my privilege to submit the annual report for the King Philip Regional School District Committee.
The need for additional space has reached the critical stage. As of this writing we are awaiting preliminary plans from the firm of Haynes, Lienick and Smith. We hope to present these to you as soon as possible for consideration. We recommend that two sites be pur- chased, one in Norfolk and one in Plainville. The first school is to be built in Plainville and a second one in Norfolk at a later date. Your Committee feels it is wise to purchase two sites now. The reasons are the scarcity of 20 acre sites with facilities reasonably close, and a savings in cost if the present trend of land values continue to rise.
Once again we have revised our salary scale in order to retain our good teachers and to attract competent teachers to our system.
The Committee would like to thank the administration, the staff, and the various agencies for their cooperation.
Again may we remind you that our meetings are open to the public and we welcome your attendance.
Respectfully submitted, GORDON S. PROAL, Chairman King Philip Regional School District Committee

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT
To the School Committee and Citizens of King Philip Regional School District
The year 1963 has been one of notable progress in the development of the King Philip Regional.
The number of teachers leaving King Philip to work in other schools or areas has slowed down to a normal rate. Improvement in the salary schedule and firmer control in the administration of the school have added to teacher morale and confidence in the district.
Direct action has been taken by the School Committee to relieve overcrowding at King Philip. An architect has been employed and preliminary plans have been drawn for a new Junior High School. Sites have been selected for proposed buildings in the Towns of Norfolk and Plainville, made possible by changes in the original King Philip agree- ment.
Various curricular programs have been updated and expanded in keeping with the needs of our student body. Guidance for the first time is operating close to accepted minimum for number of counselors employed. In 1964 we shall meet state minimums but should continue to move in the direction of a higher level program in this most important area.
The transportation of students has been broadened to permit all students to be transported in at the same time. This has decreased the total length of the school day for children by about 45 minutes. All activities are scheduled after the close of school at 2:25 p.m.
The vocational program was enlarged by the addition of one staff member to the house building program. This ultimately will add 40 boys to the program. Action has begun to enlarge the Vocational School to offer more programs with the possibility of reorganizing to take in more towns and thus share the costs.
King Philip has a record number of 1313 students in attendance with every available space in the building in use. Increased enrollment in the next year or two will mean a double session program of some type until new rooms are built.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL KING PHILIP REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
To: The Superintendent of Schools,
King Philip Regional School District Committee,
Citizens of the District:
The follow-up study of the Recommendations for the school evaluation is scheduled to be completed before June 1st and this report will be filed with the New England Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools.
The increased student enrollment and crowded conditions have meant greater limitations on student programming and scheduling.
We are now operating on a seven period academic school day. All school activities have been scheduled after the close of the regular school day. The seven period day means that we are now operating with a minimum of forty minutes for each instructional period.
The King Philip Regional School will continue to serve the needs of the youth of the region to the best of its ability.
We wish to thank everyone who is aiding us in making King Philip a success.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE VOCATIONAL SCHOOL
There were sixteen graduates from the Vocational School in June of this year-ten machinists and six carpenters. One machine graduate took pre-entrance exams for the armed service and was admitted to a service school following graduation. Nearly all the rest of the graduates were either working part-time at their places of employment or had been hired to go to work immediately after graduating.
There were 65 pupils enrolled as of October 1, 1963. In September there were twenty-seven new students enrolled. There were eighteen in the carpentry division and nine in the machine shop course.
Because our carpentry building program allows us to construct one new home each year for training purposes, it has become possible to expand this division of our school. The students working on the building are away from the school shop with their instructor about seventy per cent of their shop time, and because of this we were able to add another instructor and enroll additional students. This allows for almost complete utilization of our facilities.
Outside of our expansion in the carpentry division the school is continuing to function in about the same manner as in previous years.
The carpentry division started a new building last October and completed it in the spring. This year the building was constructed in Norfolk, Massachusetts. On June 26, 1963, there was an open house held so that the public could visit and inspect the work that had been done by the students. The open house was well attended, as usual, with parents and friends of the students, citizens of the regional district and nearby communities, contractors, and personnel from other schools who are interested in this kind of a program. There were very favorable comments received in regard to this kind of an educational program and the quality of workmanship demonstrated by the students.
