REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
Mr. A. O. Christiansen,
Superintendent of Schools:
During the school year of 1927 the children in our pub- lic schools were free, to a great extent, from any conta- gious disease.
A few mild cases of measles and scarlet fever developed, but no epidemic followed either disease.
At the beginning of the spring term State Medical Officers examined and X-rayed many children who were reported underweight, in order to rule out Pulmonary Tuberculosis. Only one or two active cases were found, but many children were listed as suspicious cases and advice regarding proper food and fresh air was given to the parents in each of these cases. During the summer vacation a number of children were given preventorium treatment at the Norfolk County Hospital, under the di- rection of the Superintendent, Dr. Nathan Pillsbury. Due to his excellent care and guidance the children improved, and a very marked gain in weight was noted, averaging about one pound per week per child.
75
NINETY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT
Several cases of Impetigo Contagiosa were found, and these children were not permitted to return to school until the condition was relieved.
Many minor accidents came to my attention during the year, most of these being due to children falling in the school playgrounds.
Many children were operated on for tonsils and ade- noids, their parents having been advised, before the close of the school year, regarding the great necessity of such operations. In every one of these cases a very marked physical improvement was noted during the year.
A Dental Clinic would be a very excellent thing for the children in our schools, and it is our hope that such an addition may be made, in order to keep the health of the school child in the very best condition possible.
Installation of electric lights at the North Randolph School is needed. On dark days the light in both class rooms is extremely poor, and the eyes of the children are, in many cases, in danger of being weakened.
Sanitary conditions in two of our school buildings are still very bad. Something should be done in the near fu- ture to relieve this condition. When these buildings were erected no thought was given to indoor sanitary rooms, with the result that nauseating odors arise from the base- ment when doors are opened. This is a very unhealthy atmosphere for children to live in. It should be remedied.
I wish to take this opportunity to thank the School Committee, teachers and School Nurse for their hearty
76

co-operation in connection with the medical care of the children in our schools.
Respectfully submitted,
GEORGE V. HIGGINS, M.D.,
School Physician
REPORT OF PRINCIPAL OF HIGH SCHOOL
Mr. A. O. Christiansen,
Superintendent of Schools:
In this report the work of the present year in the school has been summarized, and otherwise commented on by the several heads of departments. The Principal has had it in mind for a number of years past to allow teachers to discuss the problems of their departments in such a man- ner as may, in their opinion, set forth the aims, the actual work done, and the needs of the various departments. Those teachers who have been with us only a very short. time have not contributed to this round-table talk.
Mathematics F. E. Chapin, Teacher
The first year pupils in the College Course study Alge- bra. The work of the year is sufficient to complete quad- ratics as treated in the elementary course. In the English Course and in the Commercial Course the pupils may elect Commercial Arithmetic. The aim of the course is to review the essential operations of arithmetic and to re- late the subject to actual conditions in the life of the
77
NINETY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT
community. Many pupils in our first year classes are in great need of review of the basic operations and principles of Arithmetic.
The subject plane geometry occupies the college divi- sion during the second year; the five books of that sub- ject are completed, and there is usually time for a brief review and discussion of examination questions such as are found in college entrance papers.
Solid Geometry is taken up during the senior year ; dur- ing this year and also during the least part of the junior year the work consists of a review of Algebra and Geom- etry by means of standard examinations. Both Algebra and Geometry may be related to the life of the individual in many ways, although the connection is not so apparent at first thought as in Arithmetic. Not so many pupils have taken college examinations in recent years, because the school has the Specimen Certification privilegeof the N. E. College Entrance Examination Board. One of our graduates at the end of her senior year took the examin- ations of the College Entrance Examination Board, and was marked 100 in Geometry and 93 in Algebra. The work in mathematics is very definite, and our teachers in that subject have, as a rule, been able to obtain good results.
Latin Madeline E. Coughlin, Teacher
The beginners' Latin class, as a whole, is doing very well. The pupils are attentive and interested and seem to grasp the subject very well. They are making fine progress, and no doubt will meet the first year require- ments.
78
TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS .:
The second year class is not very well advanced. Their knowledge of the fundamentals of Latin seem to be lim- ited and they find Caesar rather difficult. I am giving them short assignments and am taking the work up very thoroughly.
The third and fourth year class are taking Cicero in- stead of Virgil, although they took Cicero last year. I am acting on the advice of their former teacher. They are doing fairly well.
History H. J. Powderly, Teacher
In a class in Problems of Democracy, problems that have confronted us, are confronting us, and will confront us, are investigated. Such problems are immigration, tariff, farm problems, labor and crime.
The aim is to have the pupil investigate these problems intelligently and to acquire a sane background for the future interpretation of these problems. The pupil, of course, is not expected to solve successfully a problem which baffles our Congressmen, but he should be able to set a foundation which can be added to as he grows older and meet these issues in his duties as a citizen.
The farm problem is used here to show how any one problem may have civic education as one of its objectives, and at the same time develop skills and attitudes.
Subject-The Farm Problem.
Class-A senior section in Problems of Democracy of twenty pupils in High School. Socialized recitation with chairman and secretary.
79
NINETY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT
Approach-The approach to this problem is through current events. The pupils on the lookout for current events will have noticed the McNary-Haugenbill in the paper, its possible revision, possible legislation on the farm problem in the next Congress and the farmer's problem which they have noticed.
Skill-Social relation, friendliness and good will. These will be inculcated by the formal discussions, quiet listen- ing to various opinions, and by trying to develop in good faith a friendly spirit in the class on bills brought up.
Attitudes-Alertness to current events. This will have suggested the problem and the searching through news- papers and magazines for additional material.
Co-operation-The working together to aid the farmer.
Tolerance-Appreciation of the farmer's problem-ac- ceptance of decisions made by the class.
Objectives:
1. To enable a student to attack a problem with open mindedness. How done-problem is examined into and discussed from all angles and viewpoints.
2. To give the student training for rendering de- cisions based on a knowledge of a problem. How done by voting on various bills that are intro- duced into the class.
3. To give the student a background so that he will be able to give an intelligent interpretation of the farmer's problem as an adult. How done-by a study of material available.
80
.
TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.
Activities :
1. Students consult farmers in community to get problems first-hand.
2. Committees appointed to investigate phases of problem as :
1. Market conditions.
2. Farm labor.
3. Land ownership.
4. Federal aid.
5. Tarriff and the farmer.
6. Co-operative market.
7. Agricultural school.
8. Radio and the farmer.
3. When a bill is proposed to aid the farmer a com- mittee investigates and makes a report.
4. Secretary's report is read every day. Sample Bill:
1. That Congress appropriate additional funds to enable the Department of Agriculture to instruct the farmer concerning the raising of a variety of products.
Shorthand and Typewriting Winnifred M. Brennan, Teacher
Over seventy-five per cent of the students enrolled in the Junior and Senior classes are studying shorthand and
81
NINETY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT
typewriting. At the present time we have two years of shorthand, Junior and Senior, and three years of type- writing, Sophomore, Junior and Senior.
The Junior year in the shorthand classes is spent in teaching the fundamentals of the system, simple speed and correlation work. We cover the Gregg Manual and Graded Readings during this year, and the Supplementary Exercises are used as outside work.
In the Senior year we concentrate chiefly on speed drills, business letters, their style and phraseology, correlation work and transcript. The shorthand speed at the end of the Senior year averages from 80 to 100 words per minute. During this year we cover the Dictation Exercises and Gregg Speed Studies. From January to April of the Senior year we spend on "Office Training for Stenograph- ers," which brings into play the routine followed in the stenographer's daily work. The Office Training work has been found to be both useful and beneficial to the student.
The Junior year in the Typewriting Department is spent chieflly in copying exercises from text books, legal paper, rough drafts, articles of copartnership, etc. Time is also given to speed drills during this year. The aver- age speed at the end of the Junior year is from 35 to 45 words per minute.
The Senior year is spent in transcribing letters dictated during the shorthand period, and two periods a week are spent on intensive speed and accuracy tests. The speed of the graduating class averages from 40 to 60 words per minute. At the present writing two girls of the class of
82 ..
TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.
1928 hold gold medals from the Underwood Typewriter Co. for a net speed of 60 words per minute.
It is gratifying to note that the graduates of the Com- mercial Department of Stetson High School have been very fortunate in securing positions on leaving school.
Bookkeeping, Commercial Law and Elementary Typewriting Jane C. Good, Teacher
Commercial education is growing in importance very rapidly-indeed, in no educational field has the progress and development been more marked, especially in the last ten years.
As business does not demand anything of the schools, but rather does expect something of them, it is my aim first, to inculcate a technical proficiency ; second, to teach the ethics of the office or, at least, to give the students some knowledge of business management and office meth- ods, and also to incite originality and ingenuity.
The subjects under my supervision are Bookkeeping, Commercial Law, and first year Typewriting.
In the Sophomore or elementary Bookkeeping classes, the assignment requires the writing up of exercises and sets illustrating the use of the journal, cash book, sales book, purchase book and general ledger. Instruction and practice are also given in the preparation of simple mer- cantile profit and loss statements, balance sheets and ledger closing exercises. Emphasis is laid on the handling of ordinary business papers and in the managing of a checking account.
83
NINETY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT
In the advanced Bookkeeping classes the following top- ics are covered: partnership accounts, interest and dis- count accounts, the columnar cash book, special ledgers, controlling accounts, depreciation and reserves, and good will. The application of these features is thoroughly worked out in comprehensive practice sets during the Junior and Senior years.
In Commercial Law, the principles are presented through the study of the text material and illustrative cases.
Elementary typewriting: this course covers fundamen- tals of touch typewriting and gives a mastery of the key- board. It includes keyboard exercises, rhythm drills, copying from miscellaneous matter, simple tabulation, letter forms, addressing envelopes, and use of carbon. Special stress is laid on the care of the typewriter.
English Margaret Banigan, Teacher
Noticeable progress in a broad subject such as English must come as the result of concentrated effort along cer- tain definite, well outlined plans of study. During the past year the English Department has made consistent progress in the two major divisions of the study of litera- ture and composition. The study of literature in class has included poetry, drama, oratory and the novel. The out- side reading list has been revised and a minimum list of required books established. The list includes selections made from the works of the best authors from the Eliza- bethan period to the present day. Reports on outside reading are made once a month.
84
TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.
Steady advancement has been made in written compo- sition in all classes. The oral composition has improved tremendously and the enunciation and habits of speech of the students are noticeable better than formerly. In connection with the training in public speaking consider- able work has been done in the interpretation and memor- ization of poetry and of prose.
In so far as was possible, without conflicting with classes in other subjects, the college and business students have been placed in separate classes. The business classes have been trained in the style of the business letters, the sales talk, advertising phraseology and spelling. The col- lege classes have received special instructions in the sub- ject matter required by college entrance examinations.
The books used in the department are in good condi- tion. A set of Oliver Twist, by Dickens, and a set of Shakespeare's Macbeth have been added during the past year.
French Ellen Pierson, Teacher
Approximately fifty per cent of the pupils in the Senior High are studying French. Three ears of French are offered, although a pupil may begin the language during the first year and continue it for the remaining three. This opportunity, however, is generally given only to those who do not elect the college course.
The general aims in the study of any foreign language are both practical and cultural: practical in that it should enable the pupil to speak, understand, read and write the
85
NINETY-SECOND ANNUAL REPORT
language to a reasonable degree; cultural in that it should acquaint the pupil with the life, literature and civilization of another people and give him a sympathetic understand- ing of peoples and nations beyond his own.
The degree to which a language becomes practical to a pupil will differ according to each pupil's aptitude for that language.
Considering the breadth and scope of a foreign lan- guage, there ought to be definite aims and ideals estab- lished under the form of a course of study. A course of study gives the teacher a standard, the basis on which to build. Especially does this seem essential since men teachers are continually coming into the department.
With this in view, I have endeavored to make out a course of study in order to bring about a more systematic and definite results. It will not be possible to come up to that standard this year, for results are not accomplished immediately, but gradually. But if the requirements for each year are adhered to as nearly as possible a pupil, at the end of three years, should have sufficient foundation to easily acquire more in higher institutions, or be able to use what he has intelligently.
Science Mary K. Gildmeister, Teacher
So far there has been no difficulty about getting any materials that have been asked for by the Science De- partment. At the first of the year I asked for a few things that we ought to have for physics and for general science demonstrations.
86
TOWN OF RANDOLPH, .MASS.
At present I am trying, to teach electricity in general science and we have very little material to work with. We need right now a direct current ammeter, a vibrating induction coil, a small election demonstration motor, and a storage cell, four dry cells, a telegraph key sounder and relay.
Shortly we will come to the study of the heavenly bodies and their relations to each other. It is rather hard to get pupils to understand the relative movements of the earth around the sun. L. E. Knott has a very good piece of apparatus to demonstrate this.
In Chemistry. and Biology we are getting along very well with the things we have. Of course, there will be an order to renew the supply of chemicals and some glass- ware, at the end of the year.
In some instances it is possible to get pupils to bring some things from home for demonstration purposes, as in the study of the steam engine one of the pupils brought a toy engine which served very well.
At present there is, as you know, no apparatus for physics in the laboratory for demonstration work. The equipment needed, of course, is rather expensive, but we have a laboratory which ought to be used, and it seems a shame that it should go unused for the lack of six or eight dollars' worth of equipment.
But everything asked for has been generously pro- vided by the committee.
