ferred from elementary grades to replace unusable furniture in the Northeastern Junior High School.


There was a considerable amount of maintenance and general repair work done in the schools, including electrical, heating, roofing, plumbing, resetting glass, plastering, mason work, carpentry, and painting.


RECOMMENDATIONS


In submitting this annual report covering the calendar year 1953 an attempt has been made to bring to the attention of the public the important considerations and activities of the schools, and the School Committee during the year.


Before concluding his report, it is the duty of the Super- intendent to present to the School Committee some recom- mendations upon matters which he considers to be deserving of study and action during the coming year. Naturally these items will be based on the discussions of the foregoing pages and upon matters which it is anticipated will soon need definite action.


It is therefore recommended:


(1) That continued support be given to bills before the General Court which will increase the state's contribution to- ward the expenses of the educational systems of the various communities of the Commonwealth.


(2) That further study be given and a definite policy be established by the School Committee with reference to the bill to revise the charter of Somerville in order to place the care and maintenance of the school buildings under the control of the School Committee where the jurisdiction logically belongs.


(3) That early study be given to and action taken to revise the Rules and Regulations of the School Committee, as pre- viously contemplated, so that the Rules will conform with the requirements of recently adopted legislation, and so that necessary revisions may be made to the eligibility rules for candidates for teacherships and cadetships, and the methods and procedures of the examination plan.


(4) That the schedule of rehabilitation of the present buildings which are in need of modernization to be a part of


293


SCHOOL DEPARTMENT


the eventual modern school plant in accordance with the recommendations made in the survey, be stressed by the School Committee, and the Mayor and City Government be urged to provide a substantial appropriation for this purpose in. the budget for 1954.


(5) That, as part of the previous recommendation, a fair priority be given to the necessary enlarging of the quarters for the auto body work and the painting and decorating activities. at the Trade School.


(6) That every possible effort be made by the School Com- mittee to quicken the necessary actions which must be taken by the City Government to make the two proposed elementary school buildings available as soon as possible.


(7) That speed be urged in the construction of the pro- posed stadium, in the hope that the scheduled home football games may be played there next fall, with a resulting increase in revenue from such games which will allow a decrease in the appropriation for athletics in the budget for 1955.


(8) That serious consideration be given during the early part of 1954 by the School Committee to the orders awaiting action which concern the furthering of the testing program in the elementary schools and the further study of the program. of guidance now in operation.


(9) That attention be given to furthering of the experi- mental plan for those having learning lags or deficiencies, which has now been in operation in the Southern Junior High School for two years, so that the plan may be extended to in- clude the other two junior high schools.


(10) That provision be made for extension to other ele- mentary school centers of the remedial reading program which. has for several years been so successful at the Proctor School.


CONCLUSION


It has previously been called to the attention of the public through annual reports of the Superintendent of Schools that the continued development of the American way of life re- quires an ever improving system of public education. The instructional program must be continually extended and en- riched, and it must be geared to the individual and social


294


ANNUAL REPORTS


needs of the students. Functionally designed and adequately equipped buildings must be provided, and those who give the instruction must be thoroughly and properly prepared, aware of the latest and most up-to-date methods and techniques for the successful accomplishing of their tasks.


It is therefore evident that such a program of improved "schools will cost money. The tax conscious public will un- doubtedly question the necessity for such a program, but the old idea that "what was good for father and grandfather is good ›enough for the children of today" is no longer good common sense. The public now must be assured that their children and their grandchildren will enjoy freedom in a world where dignity and integrity of human life are respected. Equality of oppor- tunity for all people is demanded.


The Superintendent of Schools in submitting this, his twenty-sixth report in the series of eighty-two such reports has discussed briefly the conditions of the curriculum, the build- ings, and the teaching during the year 1953, in order to main- tain the faith of the public in the power of education, and in the necessity for demanding good schools and providing for the support of them, to the end that the cost of education will be seen to be a good investment in the necessary values for a world at peace.


In view of the statements contained in the pages of this report, it is evident that those associated with the continuing and furthering of an adequate educational program have exerted much time and energy to the fulfillment of the respon- sibilities of their tasks, and the Superintendent of Schools re- quests all of the people of the City of Somerville to join him in expressing appreciation to those involved for the part they have performed.
