REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of Randolph :
The School Committee believe that they are justified in reporting that your schools during the past year have main- tained a standard of excellence which is creditable to the town. We do not mean to imply that there are no lines along which improvement may not be sought. Educational methods and appliances are developing with the other great factors of progressing civilization, and while it cannot be said, in. our opinion, that every innovation is for the better, the result is a gradual advance. The endeavor on the part of the School Committee and the teacher should be to care- fully select and adopt the best. We are satisfied that the corps of teachers, which has been now substantially un- changed for a good many years, is thoroughly competent, and, if encouraged by the co-operation of parents and pupils, will continue to do excellent work.
We are convinced, however, as we have repeatedly here- tofore suggested in these reports, that the employment of a superintendent, in accordance with the provisions of the Statutes, would considerably enhance the efficiency of the schools. The town of Randolph now occupies the somewhat unenviable position of being one of the comparatively few towns in the Commonwealth not employing such an official. It is needless to say that, should the town vote in accordance with this suggestion, we hope it will make an effort to secure . the services of a thoroughly experienced and competent man. An inefficient superintendent would be infinitely worse than none.
38
The Statute (1893, Chap. 200) provides that the State shall contribute $750 towards the superintendent's salary, and in addition thereto shall pay the sum of $500, to be apportioned among the towns uniting, to be used for the payment of teachers' salaries. It ought to be possible to obtain the services of a desirable man for about $1500 a year, and if so, the expense to each town forming the union would not be large.
BUILDINGS.
Although the school administration is, as we have said, excellent, the time is soon coming, if indeed it has not already come, when we ought to make some very material changes in, or additions to, our building capacity and accom- modations. With the exception of the Prescott School (graded) and the West Corner School (ungraded), we have no school buildings which we can contemplate with any com- placency, and of these, the former is by no means modern, and we have been, as the town will remember, several times directed by the State Board of Police to make changes in it which will necessitate the expenditure of a large sum of money. Judging from estimates received last year in this connection, this expense will probably be between $2000 and $3000, and we are likely to be imperatively called upon to incur it at any time.
The High School rooms are unquestionably inadequate for modern requirements as to space and conveniences ; the North Grammar School needs to be somewhat enlarged be- fore the beginning of another school year. Almost all the buildings occupied by ungraded schools require considerable refitting and repairing to make them comfortable and con- venient. In our request for appropriations, we have asked . for $300 for painting some of these buildings.
In view of the necessity of these repairs, which in the aggregate will cost a good deal of money, is it not better
39
for the town to contemplate, as a change to be made within the immediate future, the construction of a commodious and modern union-building, in some central locality, to be occu- pied by the High School and by the Prescott and North Grammar Schools? As we are now situated, we have as- sumed that the town would be unwilling to vote to raise money for this purpose during the current year, but we desire to remind you that such a change is not only desir- able, but that it will soon be a necessity, and that, in view of the condition of our buildings to which we have already re- ferred, it will be a saving of some expense to proceed as soon as possible to the construction of such an edifice. Some of the neighboring towns have recently erected a school building of this sort, and we should not be behind them in this, as we have not been in other large public im- provements.
CHANGES IN THE SCHOOLS.
There have been two problems to which our attention has been directed during the past year. One has been disposed of, but the other still remains unsolved. We found early in the year that, owing to circumstances which it is perhaps not necessary to explain, there had been an accumulation of pupils in the grammar grade taught by Miss Kiley in the Prescott building, to such an extent indeed that no one room in the building would hold the children, and it was impossi- ble for the teacher to properly care for them. We there- fore established another grade, or sub-grade, comprising the younger of these children, and placed it under the charge of Miss Mary A. Molloy. Miss Wren was promoted to fill the position left by Miss Molloy, and Miss Fannie A. Camp- bell was elected to take Miss Wren's place. The number in the various grades is now smaller and more uniform, which will result in better work.
The problem still unsolved is as to the Tower Hill School.
40
The attendance there has been for the last two or three years somewhat too large for an ungraded school with but one teacher. We feel that one of two things must be done during the coming year: either to establish, an additional school in the vacant room on the first floor of the building - which can be done with very little expense aside from the salary to be paid to the teacher-or to make arrangements for the conveying of some of the children to the Prescott School district. We are inclined to recommend the adop- tion of the latter plan for the present, but hope to discuss the matter in its various bearings, and to present figures at the coming annual town meeting.
TEACHERS' MEETINGS.
The monthly teachers' meetings, though somewhat inter- fered with, have been continued during the year, and have been found to be of great benefit to the teachers and the School Committee. They afford an opportunity for the dis- cussion of matters of general interest, both as to methods of instruction and discipline and as to all questions affecting the administration of the schools. The attendance at these meetings has been good, and there have been many sugges- tions made which have proved of value.
EXPENSES.
There have been no extraordinary disbursements for the schools during the past year, and we have endeavored to expend our appropriations as economically as we could con- sistently with that liberal and progressive policy which this town has always maintained towards its schools.
A detailed statement of the expenditures in this depart- ment for the year ending December 31, 1895, is annexed to this report.
The amount which we have asked the town to appropriate
41
for the current year (see page 43) is somewhat in excess of that asked for last year. This difference is readily explained by a comparison of the estimates for the two years, and is largely due to the contemplated expenses of painting, the transportation of pupils, and providing flags and flag-staff's for such of the school buildings as are now without them, in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 181 of the Acts of 1895.
These estimates have been made up upon narrow margins and not upon the supposition that they would be cut down either by the Committee on Appropriations or by the town. We trust there will be no hesitation in voting them as asked for.

STETSON SCHOOL FUND.
To the Citizens of Randolph :
No change has been made during the past year in the securities representing this Fund. It was the policy of the early trustees to invest it largely in national bank stock, and it has so remained for a great many years. Last year, how- ever, as stated in our report for 1895, we had occasion, for the first time, to reinvest about $3000, and, after consider- able deliberation, bought with it three Chicago, Burlington Quincy 5's. We have seen no reason to regret this in- vestment. The Fund now stands as follows :
10 shares Eliot National Bank $1,000
10 shares Hyde & Leather National Bank 1,000
10 shares Shoe & Leather National Bank 1,000
10 shares Exchange National Bank
1,000
10 shares Boylston National Bank
1,000
10 shares Tremont National Bank
1,000
10 shares Old Boston National Bank
1,000
10 shares Shawmut National Bank .
1,300
6 shares Webster National Bank 600
3 Chicago, Burlington & Quincy 5 per cent bonds, 3,000
$11,900
The investment of the Turner Fund also is unchanged.
The exercises of the fifty-first annual commencement oc- curred on the twenty-first day of June last, at which time diplomas were presented to five pupils, as follows :
