In my report last year I called attention to the fact that since September 1931, the High School has been badly crowded. For seven years the membership for the months of September and October has been as follows:

Gain since 1930, 225 pupils or 31%.
There are 225 pupils more than in 1930, two less teachers, and no more class rooms. Classes have increased in size about 40%.
The High School should not continue indefinitely under this handicap. Neither teachers nor pupils can do their best work under existing conditions. A study of the situation was made this year by Kilham, Hopkins and Greeley, of Boston, who recommended an addition to the high school building, and al- terations to the present that would adequately provide for about 950 pupils. The estimated cost for the addition and alterations was $93,000. The school committee presented a request for this amount to the mayor and city council in July but as yet no action has been taken. So long as young people can find no work, and they are willing or obliged to go to school, they should be given ample opportunity to secure an education suited to their needs.
VOCATIONAL EDUCATION
For the past three years the school reports have contained statements of the various means used to reduce school expenses and how the educational op- portunities for the school children have been curtailed. The list is long and rather discouraging to one who has the welfare of the children at heart. This year, however, I am glad to record an expansion instead of a curtailment. An attempt is being made to provide suitable education and training for those boys and girls over 14 years of age, who perhaps do not like the regular school work of the upper grade, but who are interested and successful in a combination of shop work or
86
ANNUAL REPORT
household arts, and some of the regular school subjects. This is the new Voca- tional School, an enlargement of the Continuation School. The Continuation School is for employed minors under 16, who attend school one-half day a week when employed and five days a week when not employed. Under the NRA few minors under 16 can obtain employment, so that the number attending Con- tinuation School is very small. The Vocational School is for any minor over 14, whether employed or not, who can profit by the instruction offered, and is a full time school. It solves the problem for those boys and girls who cannot get work, who do not succeed well in the regular school, and who must attend school till they are sixteen. The Vocational school has been a success since it opened in September, the pupils have been interested and the attendance good. I refer you to the report of the director for further information regarding the Vocational School.
THE JEWELRY TRADES SCHOOL
The Vocational School and the Continuation School attempt especially to provide for the educational needs of boys and girls from fourteen to sixteen years of age, although minors over sixteen may attend. The Jewelry Trades School is the outgrowth of an attempt made last summer by a group of citizens to provide some training for young men from sixteen to twenty-four years of age during the 'summer months. The whole story of the inception and growth of the school is well told by the director, Mr. Frank Straker. whose report follows.
The school started August 27, as an E. R. A. project under the local E. R. A. administrator, with an allotment of $660. It was continued as such till November 5, when, the allotment of money having been exhausted, it was taken over as an F. E. R. A. project under the school committee. The school is being supported entirely by federal funds and local contributions, no part of the expense being paid by the city. This school as yet is still experimental, but it is being well supported by the manufacturers who have contributed in cash as well as much equipment and many tools. It is receiving much attention and support from the division of vocational education of the State Department of Education, it has an aggres- sive director, and with adequate support on the part of the city promises to be- come a very successful trade school. If it did no more in these times of depression than to fulfill the original purpose of the founders, that is, to give unemployed young men something to do to keep them busy, it would be worth while as a social project. But the school has long since passed that stage and is now providing valuable training for young men who wish to prepare themselves for a good job in the shops when the demand for workers shall come.
The report of Mr. Straker follows:
"The committee responsible for the establishment of the E. R. A. school has decided to change the name to "Attleboro Jewelry Trades-School," this name being more in harmony with the purposes of the school. One of the causes for this being the fact the school is now under the control of the state department of vocational training of Massachusetts through the Attleboro school committee and the superintendent of schools, Lewis A. Fales, and has no further connection with the E. R. A. administration of Attleboro.
It was felt by the committee that this might be an opportune time to give to the citizens of Attleboro a concise history of the school to date so that those who so generously gave equipment, material and money for its support, might know what has been accomplished and further that the parents of unemployed boys over 16, might realize the splendid opportunity that exists for their boys to acquire some knowledge and experience in various branches of the jewelry in- dustry.
This committee was first organized early last July and was composed of the following men: Arthur L. Hazlett, chairman, George E. Nerney, Lewis A. Fales, Harry R. Holbrook, Percy B. Ball, Charles C. Cain, Jr., and Frank H. Straxer. After several meetings at which the problem of doing something for the young unemployed men was discussed at great length it was decided to try to organize
87
ANNUAL REPORT
a school where unemployed men could be taught the rudiments of various jewelry trades, to the end that they might more easily get a job, and that during the in- terim they might have a worthwhile interest to keep them occupied and out of mischief. After a lot of hard work by the committee, Attleboro was alloted the latter part of August $660 of E. R. A. money, to pay five instructors, to give the school idea a trial.
While all the above was taking place the National Reemployment office of which I was in charge, was closed, and the committee asked me to take over the supervision of the school, which I was glad to do. Registrations were started at the Y. M. C. A. Monday, August 27, with myself as director and Charles R. Gunner as teacher of bench work. Seventy-five registered the first day. E.R.A. rules were that the school should be open six hours a day, three days a week. This has since been changed and we are now open four days a week, six hours per day.
The first two weeks were spent in lectures or talks at the Y. M. C. A. Talks were given by the following: Charles C. Cain, Jr., George E. Nerney, Percy B. Ball, Harry R. Holbrook, Frank Mossberg, Miss Palmer, Guy Weymouth, Mr. Otis and myself on various subjects such as purpose of school, tools and tool- making, future of jewelry industry, designing, craftsmanship, books, their use and where to find them. One whole day was spent on practical letter writing on how to apply for a job. Visits were also made to the public library and to the R. F. Simmons Company factory.
It was very evident at this time that if the school was to be successful that it had to be practical and not theoretical so I was authorized by the committee to contact the various manufacturers to see if the necessary equipment and ma- terial could be procured.
I would like to say right here that the response by the manufacturers was instantaneous and wholehearted and I have yet to be refused the use of anything by a manufacturer if he had it. A great many thanks are due A. S. Ingraham, who donated factory space in the Ingraham building on Union Street for use of the school which we now occupy. Lawrence Swift also offered use of space in the D. E. Makepeace building but this space required a little more work to make it ready for occupancy, so was not utilized. The school moved into the Ingraham building the second week in September with one instructor, 30 pupils and myself as director. The first few days were spent in cleaning and putting the place in order and planning where things would be put when and if we were successful in getting them. One of the pupil's father had a truck which we borrowed and one group went out collecting material that had been donated. One of the first things to be received was a foot press from the Ralph R. Gunner Manu- facturing Company. We also received the first week, borax slates, tubes, asbes- tos blow pipes, fancy wire, die, disks, findings, solder and other miscellaneous items from the C. H. Eden Company.
The bench group was the first group to start actual instruction. They commenced the second week making rings and pins of various kinds.
David A. Taylor was the second instructor to be appointed. He took charge of the tool workers and under his direction the different machines were repaired and set up. He has recently resigned owing to a rush of work in his own factory and his position has been filled by Charles G. Thomae. The third instructor to be appointed was Walter Purdy, who took charge of the lacquerers and finally George Mullen was placed in charge of the polishing group.
In addition to repairing, cleaning and setting up all machinery the men have made benches out of old sinks and other discarded lumber, repaired chairs, constructed a lacquer booth, done some electrical work, some blacksmithing, made shelves and racks, set up a stock room, set up a sink, put up a motor, put up a line of shafting with hangers, stringers, etc., measured and put up belts, put up pulleys and have found time to listen to a talk once a day by an instructor and to make some tools for themselves.
