ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
December 31, 1949
To the Selectmen of the Town of Douglas:
I submit herewith the Annual Report of the Fire Department, ending Dec. 31, 1949.
The Department answered a total of 53 alarms during 1949, classed as follows:
Grass 20, Town Dump 12, Chimney 4, Forest 4, Mill Fires 3, Brush 2, Auto 2, Electric Wires 2, Bonfire 1, Oil Stove 1, Rubbish 2.
The report shows an increase of eleven alarms over 1948. Most of these were due to the dry season. Fortunately, none was serious.
During the dry spell we delivered over 10,000 gallons of water in the G.M.C. truck to the farm of the late Archie Feldman on Yew Street so that Mrs. Feldman might continue her chicken business. Her wells are apparently in good condition now. We also pumped water in the well of Mr. Felix Yacino for four hours to eliminate any hardships to his family.
The Department conducted its 2nd Annual Minstrel Show in the Town Hall, April 21st and 22nd. The proceeds were given to the Ambulance Fund.
During the months of September and October the Department held a Fireman's Training School for ten weeks, under the super- vision of Capt. John Baker of the Worcester Fire Department. Four- teen of the sixteen members received diplomas for 100% attendance class. I feel that these classes were of great value to all the men. They were instructed in the latest methods of fire fighting used in city Fire Departments; also on the use of our new gas masks and correct use of our inhalator. Our instructor, Cpt. Baker, heads the Rescue Squad for the entire City of Worcester and is a specialist in the use of gas masks and inhalators. Chief Waldron, head of Wor- cester Salvage, conducted evening classes on methods of salvaging.
The entire sixteen members of the Department made their annual inspection of the Town. The Department now has a card index of the owners and occupants of every house and street with complete information pertaining to Fire Permits, Oil Permits, Oil Burners and Liquified Gas Permits.

TOWN OF DOUGLAS
I am happy to report that the members of the Fire Department received the fullest cooperation from the townspeople during their inspection and wish to express their appreciation at this time.
Of the fifty-three alarms answered it was found that forty-one were between the hours of noon and midnight and twelve between midnight and noon.
During the week of Oct. 16 we conducted a Fire Drill in the three public schools.
The High School was out in 85 seconds.
The Grammar School was out in 80 seconds.
The Douglas Town was cut in 45 seconds.
It was pleasing to note the manner in which the pupils responded to the drill. The teachers should be commended for the orderly and speedy evacuation of the buildings. With the exception of the Douglas Town School, the safety of our school children is excellent. I have made certain recommendations to the School Board regarding the Douglas Town School.
As Chief of the Fire Department, it is my recommendation again, as in the past three years, that the Town consider the purchase of a new truck which should be equipped with a 1000 gallon tank, a 40 ft. and 30 ft. ladder, and a highpressure fog pump. This type of equipment would deliver a stream of fog for an hour. It would then be possible to protect the rural district much better and even help outside the village limits. This truck would cost the Town approxi- mately $10,000.
I would like to thank the Selectmen for their cooperation at all times.

TOWN OF DOUGLAS
REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the School Committee and Citizens of Douglas:
It is with pleasure that I submit my third annual report as superintendent of schools in Douglas. The purpose of the annual school report is to make public an inventory of certain accomplish- ments, and to make recommendations leading to more educationally efficient schools.
THE AIM
Fundamental to progress in our educational program in Douglas is the concept that teaching is the process of stimulating and guid- ing activities of children so that rich and varied experiences result.
The emphasis in the educational program in Douglas is to provide more and more experiences which guarantee rich, full living at the present moment. The development of children in the Douglas schools into balanced personalities is in the process of achievement by utilizing their interests, abilities, and enthusiasm both in the classroom situation and outside. We have learned that pupils do not leave behind them their physical, emotional, or social needs as they enter the schools. All must be ministered to. Thus we are concerned with the whole child.
THE ACCOMPLISHMENT
1. Subject Matter Areas
All subjects taught have been tabulated according to content areas and grade placement. These tabulations have contributed much toward a better coordinated program. They show the in- tegration of our school subjects, the sequence of new work, and the standard of accomplishment of each grade and pupil. It is important to plan for a logical, continous progress from the first grade. Definite progress has been made in the direction of an integrated program, which takes into consideration the nature and needs of children in the differing stages of maturity.
2. Teaching of the Language Arts
The superintendent of schools, with a committee of teachers, beginning in March, 1948, made a survey to determine the strengths and weaknesses of the language arts in the schools. The following tells in part our findings:
66
ANNUAL SCHOOL REPORT
50% of oral errors made by pupils in all grades are in the use of verbs, 13% in pronouns, 12% in negatives, with the remaining 25% scattered. A few very commonly used words caused 85% of the trouble with verbs, "see" and "do" heading the list.
Many weeks of research and study resulted in setting up new over-all aims and objectives in each area of English and on each grade level from the first through the twelfth. These aims and objectives emphasize greater continuity within the various subject matter areas and the correlation and integration of the whole field of English. Reports from colleges and private schools reaching the school department office, objective testing, and observation lead us to believe that positive gains have been made in the language arts.
3. Report of Pupil Progress
The purpose of reporting pupil progress is to motivate the pupil and to inform parents of the progress of the pupil. It is intended as a guide in evaluating social, emotional, physical, and mental sides of the student. It should be a projection of the under- lying philosophy of the school program. This year new report cards have been placed in the primary grades and at secondary level as a means of accomplishing the above purpose. The feature of the new card is the opportunity for the teacher and parent to make comment and interchange reports on the total growth and development of each youngster.
4. A Public Relations Program
The home and the school must form an active partnership if the educational programı in your schools is to be effective and meaningful. Embracing this hypothesis, therefore, as a point of departure, the schools afforded an opportunity for parents and teachers to meet together with the superintendent of schools and the school principals and discuss freely matters relating to the progress of pupils and the public schools. The superintending school committee is encouraged by the response and interest of parents attending these meetings. Much good has accrued to the schools.
5. Paying for the Schools
For the country as a whole, the major portion of school money is obtained from local sources, despite the fact that education is a function of state government. Usually sixty-six dollars out of every hundred dollars spent for schools is obtained locally by means of a tax on real estate. Obviously, school committees of the Com- monwealth whose absolute authority it is to determine the amount of money to be raised locally for schools each year have a very important responsibility. It is an accepted principal of American

government that wealth, income and privileges should be taxed wherever they are found and revenue expended for public services, the most important of which is public school education. The follow- ing shows comparative net school costs to the tax-payers of Douglas beginning 1946:

Education, as every other commodity, is costing and will cost more money. However, under the new state aid bill, Chapter 643, the net cost of the schools to the local real estate tax-payer is less in 1949 than it has been since 1946.
How well is Douglas supporting its schools compared with other towns in the Commonwealth of under 5,000 population and main- taining high schools? The following information is pertinent.

TOWN OF DOUGLAS
The foregoing would indicate a willingness on the part of the citizens of Douglas to support financially their public schools to the best of their ability.
6. The Forward Look
The superintending school committee feels that an improved educational program, possibly embracing financial economy, would be certain if the citizens of Douglas were to take advantage of the new state aid bill, Chapter 645, which provides for up to fifty per cent reimbursement for new school plant construction. Applica- tion must be made before June, 1951, but construction need not begin until years later. The first step would be to appoint a committee at a town meeting to work in conjunction with the superintending school committee to consider the long range school building needs for the town of Douglas, and to make application for acceptance of architectural plans under the Act. The cost of these plans is to be included in the anticipated cost of the building, if and when constructed, as directed by the office of the State Building Com- mission. More than one hundred and twenty school buildings in the Commonwealth are being constructed under the Act now, and as many as fifty-five other towns and cities have made application for consideration. We ought to look forward to consolidating our elementary schools in the interests of educational efficiency and financial economy. A combination auditorium and gymnasium is indispensible in a modern school program. This is an urgent need for the schools and the community.
7. Changes in Personnel
The superintending school committee were fortunate to procure the services of the following: Miss Edith Hill, a graduate of Wor- cester State Teachers' College, to teach grades one and two at the East Douglas Elementary School; Mr. Waldren Lojko, a graduate of Salem Teachers' College, appointed to teach Health, Physical Education, and Commercial subjects in the Douglas Memorial High School; Miss Genevieve Hawkins, a graduate of Bates College, en- gaged to teach Foreign Languages at the Douglas Memorial High School. Miss Alice Samborski was transferred to grade four and Miss Theresa Kachan to grade three in the elementary school, upon the retirement of Mrs. Maria Buxton, who gave many years of faith- ful teaching service to the children of Douglas. Mrs. Mabel Brown was extended a leave of absence by the school committee to take advanced work at Simmons College, and Mrs. Walter Janton was appointed by the committee to act as school nurse.
8. New Equipment and Improvements
A new Bell-Howell 16mm. sound projector was purchased by the school department to replace worn-out equipment. Five new type-

writers replaced old ones in the high school commercial department. The plan to supply text books more recent than those found in the schools has been going steadily forward at considerable cost, but seems to be a must. Improvement of the elementary school play- ground, a recommendation made in 1947, has been partially com- pleted. A basement room in the elementary school was renovated for the purpose of the home nursing class. This was made neces- sary when the place provided by the Hayward-Schuster Woolen Mills was vacated. Two school buildings, the Douglas Memorial High School and the Douglas Center School, were painted outside, and new steps constructed at the high school.
For a detailed account of the commendable work being done by the special departments of handwriting, music, art, public school health, I refer you to the respective reports.
May I express my appreciation to the school committee, the school personnel, and all who in any way associate themselves with the public school, for their helpfulness during the school year 1949.
Respectfully submitted,
HARRY YOUNG HILYARD,
Superintendent of Schools
