NINETY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT
Report of the School Committee
Improvements in and around our school buildings have received the attention of your school committee during the past year. At the McNeil School in East Randolph a very satisfactory grading has been effected, and the grounds now present a creditable appearance ; three entrances have been given, Ferncourt Avenue, and Carlton Avenue from Center Street, and Castleton Avenue from South Street. Much of this work has been done by welfare workers; it would be advisable to add a tract of land on the west side of the present school property in East Randolph. This tract is large enough for a ball field and other playground activities for school and community.
At Tower Hill the premises have been given a treatment which includes a circular approach, bal- lasted by cinders, and enclosing a grass plot; the fence about the yard ought to be replaced by one which would add to the attractiveness of the grounds. Some outdoor athletic equipment should be installed.
The portable one-room building in the yard of the Belcher School has been the target of much criticism, particularly in regard to toilet facilities; parents ob- ject to having the small pupils cross the yard to the main building, especially in bad weather. Your Com- mittee think that the criticism is well-founded; this portable building has long outlived its usefulness, and repairs appear out of the question. The solution which your Committee recommends is the addition of two rooms to the present Belcher building, as shown in an- other part of this report. The unsightly bank on the
154
TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.
east side of the yard bordering on Belcher Street has been replaced by a cemented wall extending along the entire east side of the yard, and surmounted by a cement curbing and a strong iron fence; this wall adds much to the appearance of Belcher Street and removes the ele- ment of danger to pupils. The yard at the Belcher building ought to be leveled, and some playground fa- cilities provided. The Belcher building is pronounced by the State Department of Public Safety to be in good condition structurally and will probably be in use for a long time; eight new windows, two in each of four rooms, have been constructed, giving the lighting which is required in a modern school room-one-fifth as much window space as floor area. The exterior of the Belcher building has been painted and the entrance on the north side thoroughly overhauled and repaired.
The primary building at the Prescott School has been improved by the insertion of twelve windows, two in each of six rooms. There is need of repairs to the roof of this building.
The ceilings and walls of three rooms at the Pres- cott School have been painted, and the fire exit from the basement enlarged. The Prescott building is in good condition for a building of its type, and is capable of giving satisfactory service for years to come.
At the Devine School the damage caused by the fire in one of the small closets has been repaired; it would be advisable to build a cement curbing about the curved portion of the lawn and along the front of the yard; a cement sidewalk ought to be constructed . in front of the premises. A suitable basket-ball court would be a welcome addition to the playground in the rear.
At Stetson High School four of the class rooms in the original building, together with the office, library
155
NINETY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT
and teachers' room, have been given a treatment which thoroughly restores the walls and ceilings. The outside woodwork has been painted; the locker rooms have been put in condition for the use of the pupils as was intended when the building was remodeled in 1925. The old batteries for the clock system has been removed and a modern rectifier installed by the Howard Clock Co. The clocks are operated with elec- tric current with an auxiliary dry cell battery arrange- ment to carry over a period when the electric current may be cut off. Additional heating units have been placed in the lunch room. A room for storing of ath- letic equipment has been provided in the basement; a very liberal amount has been expended for books of refer- ence in the school library. The unsightly tract on the north side of the grounds has been filled and graded ; a septic tank, two large leaching cesspools and a leach- ing drain 60 feet long has been constructed on the same side. Much of the grading and other work has been done by welfare workers. A backstop has been built on the baseball field. The wooded tract on the west side of the ball field has been cleared of under- brush. There is an opportunity to lay out a field suit- able for football and baseball on that part of the school lot along Highland Avenue. Some surface boulders would have to be removed; the field here is very level and dry and is adapted for athletic improvement. Ten- nis courts have been provided for at the rear of the newly graded area on the north side of the High School building; the ground has been leveled, the necessary space allowed for, and it only remains to give the courts a surfacing of clay or cement, and to put up backstops.
The School Committee is in favor of a dental clinic for the pupils in our schools; the report of the Superintendent of Schools gives some details in regard to such a clinic. The importance of this service can-
156
TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.
not be overestimated. Nothing which your committee could say would add to the conviction of parents that the health of the child is closely related to the care of his teeth, and that during the period of growth there should be careful attention given to the formation of good dental habits, and to the correction of tooth ail- ments.
Your committee is of the opinion that needed im- provements which are reasonably possible should be advocated and brought about. The School Committee can go only as far as appropriations warrant.
Miss Katherine J. Riley, long one of the most effi- cient teachers, passed away in August. She had ren- dered an extremely valuable service in the schools of Randolph. The influence of a teacher such as Miss Riley cannot be estimated except in terms of general community uplift.
At the close of the school year in June, Miss Fan- nie Campbell retired. She was a graduate of Notre Dame Academy, and had been teaching in our schools since 1898. The committee regret her enforced re- tirement because of the Massachusetts State law, and wish her the satisfaction which the memory of long and faithful service brings.
Your Committee makes the following recommen- dations for improvement in the Belcher School build- ing and grounds :
We recommend the abandonment of the Portable building and its removal from the school grounds to give additional play space. This building has long since out-lived its usefulness, has no toilet accommo- dations, and is rather cheerless and barren, and is very wasteful and expensive to heat.

We recommend building a two-room addition to the Belcher School as shown by accompanying floor plans.
Provision would be made for ample wardrobe space, health room and office with stock room on the first floor and teachers' room with toilet on second floor.
Your committee believes that with the addition of these two rooms and the expenditure of a small sum of money each year for the addition of a ventilating sys- tem and other modern equipment, the building can be made to serve the needs of this community for many years.
The cost of this addition has been estimated at $7,000, of this amount $1,000 could be raised on the tax levy of this year and the remaining $6,000 bonded over a period of 12 years at the rate of $500 per year. Your Committee believe this construction program would make for economy of operation far greater than the expense incurred by the new construction spread over a period of 12 years.
As an alternate to the building program outlined above, your committee would be forced to open the old two-roomed building at North Randolph to house the additional school enrollment. The opening of the old building at North Randolph would necessitate an im- mediate expense greater than the amount raised on this years tax levy for the new construction without serving any permanent purpose. The old building would have to be cleaned, painted and furnished, hot air furnace overhauled, plumbing overhauled and re- paired, new janitor would have to be employed and additional transportation provided for, at a total ex- pense not less than $1,600. It may well be assumed that the two items, transportation and janitor, would exceed the additional bonded indebtedness carried by the new building program.

Your committee recommends that the lot of land on the Corner of School Lane and Belcher Street be purchased by the Town and added to the Belcher School lot, and that School Lane, so called, be discon- tinued at the school property line and that that por- tion of school lane lying within the bounds of the school property be closed to public traffic.

BELCHER SCHOOL PLOT PLAN DRAWING BY THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE 1932
We believe this School Lane to be a source of great danger to the children attending the Belcher School. It is inevitable that serious accident may be caused by automobiles swinging out of Belcher Street up the steep incline into School Lane.
The purchase of the lot of land on the corner of Belcher Street and School Lane, and the addition of
160
TOWN OF RANDOLPH, MASS.
this land, marked "C" on the plot plan, to the school lot, together with the School Lane, marked "C" on plot plan, would make very comfortable school grounds, giving ample space for the development of a proper play yard and Junior Ball field for the school children of the Belcher District.
Your committee is desirous of acquiring these ad- ditions to the Belcher School lot mentioned above, at this time because we feel that by continued coopera- tion with the Department of Public Welfare we might hope during the coming season to properly grade and surface this land and make it of great benefit to the Community at no great expense to the Tax-payers.
We believe School Lane to be a source of great danger and we believe our failure to recommend the closing of this Lane to public traffic would be a wilful neglect of duty on our part.
In preparing a budget for the year 1933 your com- mittee has endeavored to keep in mind the economic con- ditions of the country and the great necessity for economy of operation in all branches of local government. How- ever, it must be borne in mind that the first duty of the community is the education and training of her child ren. The prosperity and stability of the future, and the respect for constituted authority, can only be as- sured by the determination of the citizens of today to see to it that the services of our free public schools are not weakened or hampered, but strengthened and im- proved where possible.
A glance at the charts on the following pages will show our rank among the cities and towns of Massa- chusetts. They indicate no extravagance in operating expense. Chart number 3 shows no great increased costs in operating expense over the increased number of children in the public schools or increase in town valuation. Chart No. 3 shows the average cost per pupil from local taxation to be $49.25, this figure multi-
161
NINETY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT
plied by 12 (years) give the total cost per pupil from the first grade to his graduation from the High School, a sum of $590.80, certainly not an extravagant contri- bution to the future well being of our town.
Among the 83 towns of 5000 population and over in Massachusetts, 64 of these towns pay higher salaries to elementary school teachers and 54 pay greater sal- aries to High School teachers. In this classification :
The average salary per teacher is $1690.43 Randolph's average salary per teacher is 1309.59
The average salary per teacher for the whole State is 1909.82
During the school year 1919 and 1920 the town of Randolph paid $26,186.05 to 25 teachers, principals and supervisors, an average salary of $1,047.44 and received as reimbursement on teachers' salaries from the State the sum of $4,307.86, an average reimburse- ment of $172.32, making the net average salary per teacher from local taxation for that year $875.12.
During the school year 1932 and 1933 the Town of Randolph will pay the sum of $70,717.76 to 54 teachers, principals and supervisors, an average salary of $1,309.59 and received as reimbursement on teachers' salaries from the State, the sum of $22,255.12, an aver- age reimbursement of $412.13, making the net average salary to be paid from local taxation, $897.46.
The above comparison over a period of some 13 years showing an average increase in teachers' salar- ies from local taxation of only $22.34 per teacher in- dicates no extravagant salaries being paid to the teachers in our schools.
It is interesting to note that during the same per- iod the number of children registered in our public schools, all grades, increased from 874 in 1919-1920 to 1720 in 1932-1933.

CHART No. 4 shows the year by year increase in pupils in our Public Schools and the corresponding increase in expenditure for operating expense.
It is interesting to note the steady advance without any appreciable backward movement of the number of children attending public schools of all grades, also the great percentage of increase in the number of children in the High School.
The increased cost in the High School in 1925 was caused by the destruction of that school building by fire, and the backward movement of the line between 1927 and 1929 undoubtedly shows a further adjustment back to normal. The increased cost in grade schools in 1931 was caused by the opening of the new Charles Gabriel Devine School and the Daniel Joseph McNeil Schools.

The cost of last year (1932) was $77,822.92, a net re- duction for operating expense from local taxation of 6.6 percent. With our increased number of children in pub- lic schools of approximately 51/2 percent per year over a period of 12 years and our saving of about 62/3 percent in operating expense from local taxation this year, this would make a saving of about 12 1/6 percent per pupil over the 1932 cost.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the School Committee, Randolph,
Mr. Chairman and Members:
I have the honor of submitting my annual report of the public schools of Randolph.
Our greatest national institution-the American Public School System-had its origin in Massachusetts. It found its highest expression and support in the New England town meeting where it was recognized that a free public education was necessary for the proper train- ing and development of its citizens. It was the birth of one of the great social instruments for law and order and for the stability of government. Education for the mas- ses has since been accepted and maintained by progres- sive nations the world over. Randolph has never deviated from that point of view nor have the citizens questioned the high ideals involved.
Education is the child's birthright. It is a funda- mental necessity and not a luxury. If it must be ad- mitted that we are passing through an economic crisis at this time, let it not be said that the town took it out on her children. It must be remembered that all demoral- izing forces in society leave their deepest marks on the youth. We appeal to the good citizens of Randolph that there shall be no interruption or curtailment of the reg- ular routine and business of public school education. Ed- ucation is needed more today than it was in your day or mine. It is the gyroscope of our social order and what stability that order will have will depend upon the prep- aration which you are willing to invest in your children at this, another New England town meeting.
169
NINETY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT
Net Cost of Schools, 1932
Our education program stresses fundamentals only. Its cost is therefore low. The critic would say, "It is too low-you get only what you pay for." Although recog- nizing some weight to that statement, your superinten- dent comes to the defense of teachers who, with parents and pupils, have made that cost possible. It has not been an easy task to conduct schools on such a low margin. It has meant to teachers full classes, full periods and extra hours of work outside of school. Teachers have made no complaint to date concerning this nor have they made any during the last four years. Their services, therefore, should not now be judged solely on the basis of its low operating cost for there remains on our school records and in the class rooms ample proof that their work is well done.
*Randolph's expenditure for the support of all pub- lic schools is $62.85 per pupil. In a group of 83 towns having a population of 5,000 people or more, the average expenditure is $93.11. Randolph is included in that group. This operating cost places Randolph LAST in the list. This cost of $62.85 per pupil is of further in- terest to the tax payer when it is realized that that sum includes moneys received from the State and other sources. See table below.

The low per capita cost for the support of public schools from all sources is evinced by the fact that out of a grand total of 355 cities and towns in Massachusetts, RANDOLPH ranks SECOND LAST in the list.

Enrolment
The enrolment in our High School is somewhat larg- er this year. This was expected because of the inability to find employment by pupils who would normally leave school to enter some field of work. Post graduates have to some extent added to our problem of instruction, al- though no new subject has been added to the teaching load.
