The membership of our elementary schools has been grad- ually but consistently decreasing over a period of years due to the diminishing birth rate of the city coupled with the decrease in population of the city, as shown by the following table :

The Junior High membership, while showing decreases over the period of the last five years, should be considered to be standing practically constant, for the decreases are due to transfers of some pupils to the recently established Junior Vocational School and to the fluctuation of numbers of births during successive years.
The High School statistics, however, show that there is still being maintained an increase, even though the increases in recent years are not so large as in previous years. This year's increase was 29 compared with increases in the preced- ing years of 72, 65, 237, 160, 281, and 272. These increases are of course due to the retentive power of the High School and the popularity of the better advantages offered for vocational education.
Since the cost of high school instruction, equipment, and materials is greater than the cost of the necessities for the other units of our conventional schools, under the existing condi-
131
SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
tions of increased membership it would be natural for the operating expenses of the schools to tend to increase, regard- less of the reduced numbers in the elementary grades. There- fore it is considerable of an achievement to report a decrease in per capita cost of the High School unit.
CHANGES IN PERSONNEL
It is regrettable that each year brings to a close the active teaching of a number of very capable, efficient, and devoted teachers. Others who have performed their duties faithfully and well find a greater interest in the marital status. During the year just closing twenty-three have severed their connec- tions with the service but have left behind them an influence for good that will live for years to come.
Of the twenty-three, three passed on, two resigned because of ill health, ten left to be married, seven retired under the provisions of the Teachers' Retirement Act, and one took up similar teaching duties in another community:
The terms of loyal, faithful, and devoted services of some should be called to public attention : Gertrude W. Leighton served forty-four years : Harriet E. Tuell and Charlotte Holmes forty years ; Mary G. Blackwell and Edith M. Snell thirty-nine years ; Helen L. Galvin thirty-six years ; Grace Gatchell thirty- three years : Sarah Murphy thirty-two years and six months ; and Ada Macdonald twenty-five years and three months.
Two who were employed in other capacities than teachers with notable terms of service were Mabell M. Ham, who served thirty-three years and four months in the High School office, and Benjamin R. Jones, Supervisor of Attendance, who gave twenty-eight years and five months in the service of the city.
Table 21 of this report shows that fifteen persons were elected to permanent positions during the year, but this does not indicate that these fifteen were entering the service for the first time. Thirteen had been employed regularly for some time by appointment as substitutes or by assignment for long periods in more or less temporary capacity. Consequently, the number of persons added to the teaching personnel during the year was only two. while twenty-three left the service.
Two vacancies in the clerical force caused by the retire- ment of Mabell M. Ham and the resignation of Anita Mac-
132
ANNUAL REPORTS
Donald have been filled from Civil Service certifications by the employment of Mary Wedge and Mabel F. Kelley.
Due to the retirement of Benjamin R. Jones, Supervisor of Attendance for over twenty-eight years, and on account of the length of time necessary for the establishment of an eligible list by the Division of Civil Service, the attendance work was without a supervisor from March 23 until November 15th. James G. Hourihan, who was first on the Civil Service list, entered the service on November 15. He has brought to the position a broad experience in investigation, management, and administration of delinquency, coupled with tact and a fine personality. Through his friendly spirit and a genuine inter- est in the welfare of the children with tendencies toward delin- quency, he will endeavor to improve our already good record of attendance.
While this section has been devoted mostly to changes in personnel in the instructional force. I would be particularly remiss in my duty should I neglect to note with serious regret, not only personal, but on behalf of the whole community, the termination of the long, continuous term of service, sixteen years, of Dr. Edwin A. Shaw as a member of the School Com- mittee. His broad experience as an educator, his genial, kindly, and gracious personality, and his intense interest in all affairs pertaining to the welfare of the children and to the interests of the taxpayer have proved him to be a gentleman, a scholar, and an outstanding member of the School Committee. His thorough understanding of the problems, his forward looking thoughts, and his ability to probe deeply into educational policies and new undertakings have caused him to be an out- standing adviser and guide, and his presence at meetings will be keenly missed.
James C. Scanlan, elected to fill the last year of the un- expired term of Edward M. McCarty, was not new to the prob- lems of the position, since he had previously served as a mem- ber for six years. His work on the Committee seemed to start in where he left it, but on account of his broadened experience as a State Senator his services were even more valuable than during his previous service.
Lawrence J. Donovan and Charles A. Campbell, while not in service as long as the other two men, gave good accounts of
133
SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
their stewardships during their terms of four and six years respectively.
It is unfortunate that the youth of our city and the citizens must be deprived of such fine outstanding teachers and mem- bers of the legislative body controlling our school system.
SALARIES
In the report for 1938 the Superintendent recounted the facts with relation to the salaries of the teachers from the beginning of the depression up to the close of last year, and recommended that the promotional feature of the High School salary schedule, inoperative since 1928, be again made opera- tive. At the beginning of 1939, the School Committee, during its long deliberations over the preparation of its budget, gave serious thought to the matter. As a result it was voted that in accordance with the recommendation of the Superintendent of Schools the promotional feature of the High School salary schedule be restored in principle for the year 1939. In conse- quence of this action, forty teachers were awarded increases of $50 each, with the understanding that further steps toward making the promotional feature fully operative would be con- sidered in preparing the budget for 1940.
RECOMMENDATIONS
In presenting this report, an attempt has been made to bring to light some outstanding accomplishments of the year 1939 and to focus attention upon some matters which should be given serious consideration in the near future.
It is recommended, therefore, that :
(1) Ways and means be developed to change the City Charter so that the control and main- tenance of school buildings will be placed under the juris liction of the School Commit- tee, as is the practice in most other cities and towns of the Commonwealth.
(2) The Mayor and City Auditor be respectfully requested to set up new accounts in the bud- gets of other departments, particularly the Public Buildings Department and the Recrea- tional Department, so that the cost of the activities not having to do with the school-
13
ANNUAL REPORTS
ing of the children will be charged to the proper activity.
(3) The building program, partially recognized this year by some work at the Northeastern Junior High School, be kept in mind to the end that serious attention will be given to the needs for additional accommodations to that building, and replacement of the Prescott building.
(4) Continued attention be given to the further restoration of the promotional feature of the salary schedule for High School teachers, which received partial recognition last Jan- uary.
(5) Further study be given to the development of the plan for furthering the possibilities for research and guidance, which has been grad- ually taking form since first presented by the Superintendent for discussion as early as 1930.
CONCLUSION
In concluding this, my twelfth annual report as Superin- tendent of Schools, it is extremely gratifying and pleasurable to express my personal appreciation to the School Committee, and on behalf of the citizens of Somerville and the pupils in the schools to commend it highly for its exceptionally fine attitude and devoted service, by lengthy and wise deliberation, to the problems of the schools. This earnest application to the work has resulted in making it possible to report a year of progress coupled with effective and substantial economies.
In attaining these results we are indebted to a great degree to the wise, able, and outstanding leadership of the Chairman of the School Committee, William J. Koen, who brought to his position as Chairman a valuable knowledge of school problems, and who conducted his duties with an impartial and untiring devotion which will cause his administration to be a goal towards which future School Committees should aim.
135
SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
For the unqualified loyalty and energetic efforts given to their tasks by the teachers, supervisors, and principals, the Superintendent gives his heartfelt appreciation.
The Superintendent pledges his utmost effort to secure con- tinued progress in the work of the schools and expresses the hope for greater attainment during 1940.
