Springfield has long been recognized as a community in which the educational facilities are of an unusually high standard. The public schools' program is most complete and leads the pupil through the primary grades and junior high schools into one of four high schools of excellent standing and character. In the first-the Classical High School the curriculum is of an essentially academic character, providing for the continuance of education in the academic colleges and universities. The second-the Technical High School-is fundamen- tally an engineering school and offers courses leading directly to industrial work or into the higher engineering colleges. The third-the High School of Commerce-prepares the pupil thoroughly for a business career and also for entering into a limited group of colleges. The fourth-the Springfield Trade School prepares the pupil for industrial employment.


Freight rates prevail for the shipment of raw materials and finished products into and from the city on a basis which permits our manufacturers to compete with others in similar lines in other parts of the country.


Springfield has dwelling units for 47,414 (1950 Federal Census) families and has long been known as a community of home lovers. The enviroment which has been creaated is a result of a mixed population, possessing many natural advantages and proving pleasing to all. There are many community civic organizations, each of which was definitely formed for the improvement of its part of the city.


CONSUMING POWER


Farm products valued at approximately $7,093,750 were raised in Hampden County in 1946 and consumed mostly in this area. $82,250,889 worth of stock and materials was used in our factories in 1945. Springfield is forced to import from outside all basic raw materials even to lumber and depends on its skilled labor and native ingenuity in fabrication to maintain its in- dustrial supremacy.

1952-THE PRICE & LEE CO.'S


INDUSTRIAL SITUATION


The latest available statistics for the Springfield area show 200 industrial establishments making as many different lines, paying weekly wages of $3,278,376 employing 47,336 people. Many of these factories manufacture products known the world over and spread the fame of Springfield into all countries. Westinghouse Motors and Bosch Magnetos, Indian Motorcycles, Smith & Wesson revolvers, Springfield rifle, Absorbine Junior liniment, Monsanto chemical products, and Milton Bradley games and toys are typical examples. Industry in Springfield is highly diversified though the manufacture of electrical goods and equipment slightly predominates in value all other lines. Skilled artisans can usually find steady employment in Springfield due to this condition.


Springfield is justly proud of its title, "The City of Homes," and well deserves it. Abun- dance of water power in the valley has caused erection of enormous hydro-electric stations with the result that reasonable electrical rates prevail and practically all homes enjoy the use of electricity with all its advantages.


FINANCIAL SITUATION


Though having one of the lowest municipal tax rates in Massachusetts, Springfield has been continuously developing without unduly burdening the public and has a total outstand- ing net bonded indebtedness of but $11,069,000. Economy is the rule of Springfield's admin- istration though large appropriations for permanent improvements are made yearly to keep pace with the schedule of the City Planning Board. Springfield has five commercial banks and six savings banks; Additional banks: 2 Co-op., 1 Federal Land Bank. Due to its being so accessibly located Springfield was chosen as the logical location for the establishment in New England of the district branch of The Federal Farm Loan System.


RETAIL TRADE


While Springfield has a population of 168,000 estimated people, its retailers serve a terri- tory containing 450,000 population. The two main department stores of Springfield do an annual business in excess of $20,000,000. The large proportion of merchandise carried in Spring- field is of a quality nature. Seventy-eight per cent of its inhabitants are native born.


WHOLESALE TRADE


Springfield is served north, east, south and west by trunk line railroads and it has con- sequently become a well-known jobbing center. Stocks carried in Springfield cover practically every well-known product manufactured in the United States applicable to the northern climate. Springfield is the distributing center for all of New England for many items.


CIVICS AND WELFARE


Of outstanding value is the work done by the City Planning Board through whose efforts a definite arrangement for the control of the future growth and development of the city is projected and maintained.


Hospital facilities are more than complete, for the community is fortunate in possessing four hospitals caring for general cases, two hospitals maintained particularly for the care of maternity cases; and one hospital for diseases requiring isolation, erected by the city at a total cost of approximately $750,000. Beautifully modern, a wing of the Springfield Hospital, erected at a cost of $2,500,000, was opened late in 1931. Springfield is fortunate also in being the home of the Shriners' Hospital for Crippled Children for the whole New England area. Medical and surgical treatment may be had from many physicians and surgeons of repute.

SPRINGFIELD DIRECTORY-1952


Health and sanitation are carefully guarded. Through our school system the health of the children is given more than adequate attention.


Springfield possesses every type of amusement and recreation offered in cities of its size -theaters, dancing salons, boating, canoeing, golfing, tennis-all of these are available. Su- pervised recreation for children is made possible through the very efficient work of the Spring- field Park Department, which operates 140 public playgrounds, lands and parks covering more than two thousand acres.


THE CROSSROADS OF NEW ENGLAND


Springfield is the center to which tourists come over excellent highways, and through which they pass enroute to Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, as well as to points of interest in Eastern Massachusetts.


Springfield is a trading center for a population estimated at 450,000. To the community are attracted these persons who seek adequate shopping facilities, excellent stores, fine res- taurants and hotels.


The industrial prestige of the city has been developed as a result of the skill of its workers in mechanical trades. It is in a sense an agricultural base, for here are located the Eastern States Farmers' Exchange, the Hampden County Improvement League, and many other agencies working co-operatively for the development of agriculture throughout all of New England.


Springfield is the Western Gateway to New England, and the most easily accessible city in New England from points outside thereof. During 1951, 21,055 persons attended 60 con- ventions held in the city of Springfield. The Springfield Chamber of Commerce operates a Convention & Visitors Bureau which actively solicits convention business and renders a maxi- mum of co-operation to convention groups meeting in this city.


ADVANTAGES AND CLAIMS


In the last analysis, Springfield is the only moderate city in the eastern U. S. that has developed a balance of beauty, education, finance, industry, commercial and recreation.


"What You Should Know About Your City"


"The helpful kind of patriotism is the kind that grows out of a knowledge of one's town, of her growth, ber people, ber property, her government and ber needs. This knowledge develops, first, an intelligent interest; then, a sympathy; then, a reasonable affection, a wise and temperate jealousy for her good name and a wish that she may prosper and grow more beautiful; and finally, a desire to help her to become greater and finer, a bright and clean workshop and a home for the best of men and women."-John Cotton Dans
