5. That provision be made to increase the offerings in the Evening Trade School, opened in October, to meet the needs of those veterans who have registered their interest in at least three other trades, namely, carpentry, electrical work, and machine shop practice.


6. That the School Committee take formal action to re- quest the Board of Health to consider the advisability of revising the present medical inspection plan for school chil- dren in order to make possible a more thorough annual ex- amination, by the employment of an adequately compensated full-time force of two or three physicians to replace the force of seven inadequately paid inspectors of the present time. (This recommendation received much very favorable

commendation when presented last year from prominent citizens, particularly doctors and parents.)


7. That consideration be given to the advisability of establishing as an integral part of the school system a read- ing disability clinic, the need and benefits of which have been so well demonstrated by the project of the Somerville Kiwanis Club during the last four summers.


8. That his Honor the Mayor, the City Government, and the City Engineer be urged to give all possible consideration and action to providing an adequate stadium located as near as possible to the High School gymnasium, which will allow for the proper program of athletic contests of all kinds, in addition to those parts of the programs of physical educa- tion, bands, and other field music groups, which can and should be carried on out-of-doors.


9. That, as soon as possible after the completion of the High School Manual Arts Curriculum now under revision, the Mayor, City Government, and the Commissioner of Pub- lic Buildings be called upon to provide the necessary equip. ment to replace that which was recently removed from the High School shops because of the belief that it was unsafe for operation.


CONCLUSION


The year 1946, during which it was sincerely anticipated that the representatives of the United Nations would be able speedily to make progress toward the establishment of a world organization which would develop and maintain a permanent and lasting peace which would allow all the peoples of the Earth to live in harmony and with brotherly love until the end of time, has been somewhat of a disappointment to the peoples of the world and a disillusionment to the brave boys of this country at least who fought and in many cases gave their lives for what they thought would result in a world fit to live in peacefully.


Such a situation has been aggravated by other local, in- ternal, social problems among various groups in our country, resulting in great unrest. Strikes, the fast increasing cost of living, cost controls, increased tax burdens, and the necessity for giving part of what we in this country have to provide for


157


SCHOOL DEPARTMENT


the needs of the peoples of other countries, the conditions in which were far more critical than our own, have not helped to relieve the unrest and the concern of all, and school people in particular, as to how their burden would be cared for as the cost of living continued to increase.


In spite of all these conditions which made perplexing and intricate problems for the school people, it cannot be questioned that those involved in the Education of our Somerville youth have recognized their responsibilities and obligations and have enthusiastically, energetically and effectively performed their tasks to their charges.


The Superintendent of Schools, cognizant of the fact that the successful results which have been accomplished could not have been attained without loyal and cooperative associates, calls on the citizenry of Somerville to join him in expressing sincere appreciation and gratitude to the Chairman and mem- bers of the School Committee, the administrative, supervisory, and teaching forces, and all other school employees, for the part they played in a task well done.


Such attitudes, characteristics, and abilities of an educa- tional force surely assure the citzens of Somerville of the con- tinuance of a good educational program.
