OUR INCREASED SCHOOL POPULATION
Last year attention was called in the report of the School Committee to an increase of 26 in the number of children between the ages of 5 and 15 over the figures of the previous year, 1908. The school census of September, 1910, shows an additional increase of 25 in the number of these children, making a total gain of 143 in the last six years. No additional room has been provided in the last five or six years; con- sequently there is overcrowding. This year we have four rooms in different parts of town ranging from 52 to 65 in enrollment.
The condition at the North Grammar calls for either additional room and teaching force or a new building at no distant date. Last year the principal's room registered a total of 55 pupils. This year the enrollment at that room reaches 65 and the average attendance is 61. As a result the principal is obliged to hand over the seventh grade part of the time to a teacher who must neglect a good part of her sixth grade work for this purpose. This is unfair to these pupils.
SIGHT AND HEARING TESTS, 1910-1911
In accordance with law the teachers have made the fifth annual test of eyes and ears of pupils.

MEDICAL INSPECTION
One of the most serious matters that has come to light in the last two or three years is the condition of the teeth of school children as revealed by the examinations of school
78
TOWN OF RANDOLPH
physicians. It has been shown over and over again that more than half the children in school have seriously defective teeth. In Avon this year, out of 251 children examined by one physician, only 13 had ever received dental treatment, 15 more had teeth in "good condition" and 40 others had teeth "in fair condition." The remaining 173 needed dental treatment more or less. It is hoped that arrangements may be made there for systematic care of teeth by dentists at reduced rates. Next in importance were defects affecting the nose and throat, such as adenoids, enlarged tonsils and defective nasal breathing. Every teacher knows that these produce nervous troubles that lead to inattention, disorder, and loss of learning power. These in turn result in dis- couragement, delayed promotion, and often in leaving school altogether.
The Legislature of Massachusetts is alive to the situation and has passed laws requiring that "every child in the public schools be separately and carefully tested and examined at least once in every school year to ascertain whether he is suffering from defective sight and hearing or from any other disability or defect tending to prevent his receiving the full benefit of his school work, or requiring a modification of the school work in order to prevent injury to the child or to secure the best educational results."
The sight and hearing tests are carried on by the teachers. The other examinations must be made by the school physi- cian. As yet Randolph has not met this requirement.
79
SEVENTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT
THE YEAR
Our new High School is now in excellent running order and fairly well equipped with teachers and textbooks as com- pared with the grades. It is an institution to be proud of, and in its new home will be more than ever a center of "light and leading" among the young people of Randolph. Its principal, teachers and pupils are entitled to the highest credit for their untiring and effective labors in making the school a good place to be in.
It is now well to look carefully to the needs of the children before they come up to the high school. Aside from the early consideration of additional room and teaching force mentioned hitherto, the matter of furnishing sufficient numbers of proper books promptly at the time of year when they are needed should be taken up. An excellent series of modern texts for the teaching of English in grades four to eight was secured last year. A partial introduction of well-graded books on hygiene and sanitation was also made. This year an up-to-date speller has been partially introduced. These partial introductions should be completed with as little delay as possible. The introductory work in the subject of geography has on the whole been too difficult for the inter- mediate grades. There is great need of proper material that is within the experience and comprehension of the children of the third and fourth grades. Geography is now less ex- clusively a memory subject than was the case a few years ago. Today the pupil is made to understand the reasons for things as they are, as well as to memorize isolated and to him unrelated facts.
80
TOWN OF RANDOLPH
I wish to repeat the recommendation of last year of a simple treatment of civics in the grades which shall cause the boys and girls to vividly realize that they are citizens with both privileges and duties before they attain the age of twenty- one, and that they can have a part in making the public opinion which for good or ill guides the destinies of our town, our state, and our country.
The economical and efficient education of our children can be most effectively fostered by placing small and carefully chosen shelves of books in each school room, and encouraging the reading thereof outside of school and in the preparation of written topics in connection with the subjects of literature, history and geography. There is a wealth of material of this kind now available which was undreamed of a decade ago. I again recommend this matter to the thought of teachers and Committee as well.
While the foregoing is in large measure a plea for new and more abundant means for the accomplishment of the work of education, I wish to here record my appreciation of the work done and the progress made by our faithful teachers in the past four years with the means placed at their dis- posal, and of the generosity of the town in furnishing it. There will be no facing backward. Massachusetts is realizing as never before the truth that "Whoever ha's the school has the future."
Thrift has now been added to the list of special subjects to be taught in our schools. A more systematic teaching of ethics and manners is being urged in different quarters. By manners is meant "habitually respectful conduct of children
81
SEVENTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT
and young people toward their elders and toward each other." All these things indicate that the standards which an edu- cated public opinion now demands of the schools and the homes are becoming continually more exacting and that we must be on the alert to meet them.
Respectfully submitted,
WATSON C. LEA.
