In Stoneham and Milton are examples of the com- bination junior and senior high. In both these schools


150


TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.


the junior pupils are assigned to parts of the building separated as much as possible from the older pupils. The superintendent of schools in Milton, Mr. Ewart, asserts that only to a certain point can the two schools be maintained to advantage in one building; he places the limit at about 500 for each school. That is, for over 1,000 pupils, not even the requirement of economy is of much weight in continuing the combination. From observation of these two latter schools it seems evident that senior high school reacts upon the junior high in repressing the enthusiasm of the junior high pupils. This does not by any means prove that the junior high combination is not a distinct advance upon the usual grade system in Randolph.


We are to begin our combination school without special teachers in physical culture, and without spe- cial teachers of sewing and cooking. Of course wood- working and metal-working are out of the question. In the school report of 1924, the report just prior to this, our superintendent urged the need of special at- tention to the physical needs of the pupils. It is diffi- cult, for instance, to see how our shower baths are to be used to much advantage unless a teacher can give full time to classes, or divisions, of pupils in gymnas- ium work or its equivalent. In.Stoneham, for example, the school has a gymnasium for boys and another for girls; these two rooms can be thrown together into one large room for such games as basketball or for winter athletic meets. Stoneham employs a man to take care of the boys and a woman to supervise the girls in physical activities. The writer watched one of the gymnasium groups of boys go through their ex-


151


NINETIETH ANNUAL REPORT


ercises in Stoneham. There were three divisions of the squad of pupils; one at the horizontal bar, one at the parallel bar, and one at the vaulting horse. Each .of the boys took his turn at each piece of apparatus, and at the end of the period the boys went to the showers, emerging to don their regular clothing ready for class-room work. How we can accomplish much of this in Randolph without a special teacher who can give his full time, is not apparent. Stoneham and Milton each has an assembly room distinct from the gymnasium. This obviates the necessity of moving furniture in and out of the assembly room.


The school lunch is an important adjunct to a mod- ·ern high school. In Milton, for instance, two women begin their preparation of the lunch at the opening of the morning session. The first group of pupils come down to the lunch room about 11:30 o'clock; these are all junior pupils. The length of the lunch hour is 23 minutes. There is then a cleaning of the room for the senior high ' pupils. Many of the pupils bring their own lunch, which they eat at tables, opening the lunch baskets, in small groups. Some do not pur- chase anything at the lunch counter, others supple- ment what they have brought from home by a cup of cocoa or bottle of milk, while many buy their entire lunch at the counter. The uniform price is five cents for each serving of food.


Somewhat contrary to the writer's expectation the sum of fifteen cents bought a lunch, which was appetiz- ing and sufficient. All the money taken in is turned into the maintenance of the lunch room. There is no profit. The method which seems best suited in pur-


152


TOWN OF RANDOLPH. MASS ..


chasing food is by the purchase of 5-cent tickets or- checks to be presented at the lunch counter for food. These checks are sold in another part of the room. It is the opinion of the writer that an adequate lunch can: be brought from home in case the pupil does not care to buy lunch.


This serving of a school lunch we are going to in- augurate in our new building. Pupils must then be prepared to remain after school in case they are kept. either for failure in scholarship or deportment. Hith- erto our High School pupils have been under the neces- sity of going home for dinner and then returning for. the afternoon session ..


Several of our citizens have told the writer that it is a mistake for him to put into this report the account of what he has observed in other schools. Is it not a. good plan to find out what other schools do? Even if we cannot do all of the things which are done in larger communities, ought we not to know what is being done?


The problem of a double or a single principalship of these combination junior and senior high schools is very generally solved at present in favor of the single principal. Theoretically one principal for the junior high and another for the senior high would seem a good solution. These schools, however, which have- tried the double principalship have found that the plan does not work out satisfactorily and have for the most part adopted the plan of having one principal.


All the junior high schools visited, stress club activi- ties; the dramatic club appeals to some, the debating-


153


NINETIETH ANNUAL REPORT


club to others, the school orchestra claims its share, and the various choruses offer to others a place in the list. There are many other extra curricula activities which pupils are interested in. The assembly periods give an opportunity for these clubs or groups of pupils to give expression to their various activities. Two times at least each week the junior high pupils ought to have an assembly period in which the program is in charge of the boys and girls.


Six hours is the standard length advocated for the high school session in Massachusetts. It is probable that in our re-organized high school at least five and one-half hours will be found necessary to carry out the program. This means that if ourdaily session begins at 8:15 it would close at 1:45 except for pupils who must remain to square accounts in scholarship or de- portment. Seven periods of about 40 minutes each will be found necessary. Allowing for about 10 min- utes in opening, for the recess periods, and for the assembly period five and one-half hours would be none too long.


Teachers frown upon tardiness; it is pretty nearly true, although not quite so, that we would prefer to have a pupil absent rather than tardy. There are in- stances where tardiness is advisable, and which do not reflect upon the home; in the great majority of cases, however, the reasons which pupils give for tardiness would appear to force the conclusion that the fault is to be attributed to the home and not to the pupil. The home must see that the pupil gets up in time, that he has his breakfast, and that he is on his way early enough to allow him to reach his desk in time for the


154


TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.


roll-call. Promptness is essential in nearly all activi- ties today ; no business office, or store, or factory, would permit its employees to be late day after day. If a pupil is tardy many times during the year, the school must bear some of the blame; and the pupil loses to some extent the confidence of his teachers, but the home especially suffers a loss of reputation. High school pupils ought to regard their school work much in the same light as any other workers must view their part in the duties of the office or store. It is claimed that a boy who has completed a high school course earns enough more in later life, because of that fact, to warrant the assertion that for every day spent in school, he receives the equivalent of at least $10. The Superintendent of Schools in Attleboro, Mass., recently made the assertion that the increased power was $25 for every day spent in high school. At Yale University averages compiled from some 3,000 cases showed an increased earning capacity for graduates of secondary schools verifying these statements. If this be even ap- proximately true, then each pupil ought to regard his school work most seriously and to resolve never to be absent or tardy unless because of some really unavoid- able circumstance.


REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS.


To the School Committee, Randolph. Gentlemen :


I am submitting herewith my fifth annual report of the public schools of Randolph.


The manner in which this town is adjusting itself


155


NINETIETH ANNUAL REPORT


to the ever-increasing school enrolment is most gratify- ing. Towns located near large cities are facing this problem generally. To meet these changes year after year is no small task when viewed from the point of financial limitations. After two years of persistent ·endeavor, your schools can now accommodate all chil- ·dren and give to each child his full-time school day.

THE NEW STETSON HIGH SCHOOL


This building when thrown open for public inspec- tion will speak for itself. It is an excellent example of what can be done when the citizens set out to do it. Fortunate, too, was the town in its selection of a Build- ing Committee, men of broad, clear vision and un- afraid to act in the interest of education.


Briefly stated, this building is a senior high school, so planned and furnished. Its extra six rooms for the present are used for the accommodation of the junior high school pupils. Its total accommodation is close to 500 pupils. Its general equipment is as follows:


10 classrooms.


1 Science room.


1 Science lecture room.


156


TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.


1 Bookkeeping room.


1 Typewriting room.


1 Study room for 55 pupils.


1 Drawing or sewing room.


Library, nurse's room, teachers' room, lunch, locker and two supply rooms besides an assembly hall with a seating capacity of 350.


RECOMMENDATIONS


In view of the reorganization brought about by the new high school, I desire to submit for your cnsidera- tion the following :


(a) Re-floor at least two classrooms in the Prescott Grammar Building, and re-locate two windows in these rooms for proper light- ing. Furnish these rooms with the present high school desks and chairs now used in Stet- son Hall.


(b) Furnish wardrobe facilities within the classrooms for grades one and two, Pres- cott Primary Building.


(c) Close the portable building at the Belcher School and open a room left vacant by the junior department.


INSTRUCTION


Our efforts to unify the school work throughout the town, as proposed in my last year's report, have pro- duced results. Plan books, reports and conferences have been contributing factors in this direction but the thing I count most highly and which has been of the greatest value in this endeavor has been the loyalty of teachers and their faithful work.


SCHOOL NURSE


With the appointment of a full-time school nurse our health work should progress unhampered. The part-


157


NINETIETH ANNUAL REPORT


time service given by Miss Leary was excellent so far as it went but this with her bedside nursing was too heavy a task for one person to perform. We are, however, greatly indebted to her and to the Associa- tion for their assistance and initial step in this impor- tant health work.


INTERFERENCE IN OUR SCHOOL WORK


Requests to use the class rooms and the help of school children for some special meritorious objective have increased so rapidly since the war that some stand must now be taken to keep our schools free. This interference comes entirely from without and is not a problem provoked by local interests. No better expression of this menace to education can be found anywhere than in the words of Hon. Ernest W. Butter- field, State Commissioner of Education of New Hamp- shire, who says: "I speak with feeling upon this point, for I believe that the attack upon the public schools has never been so insidious as it is today. Sinister demagogues and zealots, organized societies, great commercial houses, would use the schools to advance their propaganda, to emphasize their policies and plans, to make for them financial gain. For this end, they would cloud the facts accepted by history and by science. They would modify teaching to fit their be- liefs. They would give children wants which only their wares could satisfy. The raisin growers, the silk worm breeders, the Florida realtors, the organizations for national relief, the narcotic trusts and the temper- ance leagues, the army, the navy and the societies for universal peace, all through some of their representa- tives see the opportunity to aggrandize themselves under the guise of teaching health or patriotism or economy or some other individual or social merit."


RETIREMENT


After forty-nine years of faithful service as a public school teacher, Miss Mary E. Wren was retired by


158

the Massachusetts Teachers' Retirement Board, July 1, 1925. Miss Wrenn closed her work last June in the same vigor and enthusiasm as in former years.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL NURSE


Mr. A. O. Christiansen, Superintendent of Schools.


Dear Sir: The annual report of school nursing ending Decem-


163


NINETIETH ANNUAL REPORT


ber 31, 1925, is as follows :


All pupils in the grade schools weighed.


Number of pupils 10% and over underweight 130


Home visits to underweight pupils 86


Pupils examined at health clinic 36


Pupils X-rayed 20


Pupils given Von Piquiet test 20


Pupils dismissed from school until seen by doctor, 14 Pupils sent to a preventorium 4


Pupils sent to "Wonderland," Salvation Army Fresh Air Camp 2


Milk is supplied to needy children who are 10% underweight by a committee from the Ladies Library, and the Womens Catholic Clubs. First aid supplies were replenished in all the schools at the expense of Randolph Chapter Red Cross. The expense of send- ing the children to the preventoria was paid by the Christmas seals, the Parent-Teachers Association and the Red Cross.


I wish to call particular attention to the epidemic of scarlet fever in the months of November and De- cember. In nearly all cases, it was found that the children had had a slight rash which afterward proved to be a symptom of scarlet fever. Many of these chil- dren had had no medical supervision and it must be supposed that other children were infected.


It is my pleasure to report the hearty co-operation , of teachers, parents and pupils.


Respectfully submitted,


JULIA M. LEARY, R.N.

REPORT OF THE DRAWING SUPERVISOR


Mr. A. O. Christiansen,


Superintendent of Schools.


Dear Sir:


As Supervisor of Drawing I am submitting herewith my report of four months' work in the schools of Randlph.


Despite the handicap due to the temporary arrange- ments at the high school, satisfactory work is being done in freehand and mechanical drawing. Four periods a week are given to drawing and the problems have included free-brush work, color harmony, com- position, lettering, costume design, craft designs and orthographic projection.


The grades are visited every two weeks where prob- lems in design and hand work are carried out. Self- expression and the initiative are emphasized.


The interest and co-operation of teachers have been a great help in the accomplishment of satisfactory results.


Respectfully submitted,


EMILY SANFORD, Drawing Supervisor.

NINETIETH ANNUAL REPORT


REPORT OF THE MUSIC SUPERVISOR


Mr. A. O. Christiansen,


Superintendent of Schools.


Dear Sirr:


I submit for your consideration my report as Super- visor of Music in the Randolph Schools.


The progress in music in the lower grades has been very gratifying-the children read and sing well and seem to have a very good knowledge of music in general.


I recommend that more time be given to the teach- ing of music in the upper grades, in order to bring about desired results. Pupils in these grades require more stimulation; consequently a greater amount of time and energy must be displayed by the teacher to this end. This desired result cannot be accomplished in a music period of fifteen or twenty minutes, there- fore I ask that the time be extended to a thirty-minute period in the sixth, seventh and eighth grades, thereby giving the pupils sufficient time to absorb and thor- oughly learn the lessons outlined by the Supervisor.


Respectfully submitted,


ROSE G. HAND, Supervisor of Music.

Pursuant to the provisions of Article 3 of the By- Laws of the Turner Free Library, this, the fiftieth an-


169


NINETIETH ANNUAL REPORT


nual report is submitted, showing the condition of the trust, consisting of the building, library and funds, together with the reports of the Librarian and Treas- urer and so much of the reports submitted by the various committees to the Trustees as seems of general interest.


To the Trustees of the Turner Free Library :


The Library Committee consisting of Winthrop B. Atherton, Mrs. Helen W. Pratt, Herbert F. French and Frank W. Belcher with the assistance of the Librarian has found the books, charts and furnishings in good condition. All books were accounted for by the Li- brarian.


To the Trustees of the Turner Free Library :


The Building Committee consisting of W. B. Ather- ton, F. W. Belcher and C. Wilson Lyons, reports the building as being in fair condition but some minor re- pairs are needed, and an appropriation of $150 is re- quested.


To the Trustees of the Turner Free Library :


Your Committee on Finance submits the following report :


The Committee has audited the accounts of the Treasurer for the year 1925 and found them correct. All moneys received have been duly accounted for, and no moneys have been paid, out except upon vouchers properly approved.


170


TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.


The Committee has examined, also, the securities representing the investments of the funds of the library and has found them to be intact and as represented.


ASA P. FRENCH, Chairman.


Randolph, Mass., January 1, 1926.


In the report of the Librarian it will be noticed that several changes have been made, particularly in the charging system, which have proved to be very bene- ficial, due to the interest and faithful work of the Li- brarian.


During the latter part of the year the Library met with a great loss in the passing of its Treasurer, Mr. N. Irving Tolman. Faithful in the performance of his duties and with high ideals he had endeared himself to his associates on the Board of Trustees and his pass- ing is a great loss to the Library and to the community.


The report of the Librarian statistically showing in detail the doings, management and results of the var- ious departments of the Library and the report of the Treasurer showing the investments of the funds and the receipts and expenditures of the Library are here- unto subjoined.


Respectfully submitted, WINTHROP B. ATHERTON, President of the Board of Trustees. Randolph, Mass., January 1, 1926.
