REIMBURSEMENTS
Chapter 679 of the Acts of 1947 distributes to the towns and cities for this year an added million dollars for transportation reimbursement. Claims were filed by the school department for the transportation cost of all child- ren who had averaged to ride a mile and a half each way each school day. The transportation cost out of local taxes is five dollars for each child in net average member- ship during the school year ending in June, 1947. The added reimbursement for Merrimac's claim is $662.50; some of the General School Fund, Part II, annually claimed by Merrimac's school department, has already been for transportation.
9
MERRIMAC SCHOOL REPORT
Reimbursements for teachers' salaries did not fare so well in Massachusetts during 1947 as transportation; in fact, it failed altogether, but bills for teacher salary re- imbursements to the towns were passed in neighboring states and must come soon in Massachusetts. Another bill has been drawn up and is being sponsored by an active organization called the Massachusetts Association for Ade- quate State Financing of Public Schools. This organization is affiliated with the Massachusetts Teachers Federation, the Massachusetts Association of School Committees, the Massachusetts Parent-Teacher Association, the Massachu- setts Association of School Superintendents, and many other professional and lay groups interested in public edu- cation in Massachusetts. The bill, known as Senate 164, has been filed for the 1948 session of legislature by Sena- tor Ralph C. Mahar, Chairman of the Committee on Edu- cation in the Senate. Its purpose is to increase state aid from the present figure of about six million to about twenty-eight and a half million. If this bill fails,-and it may,-another is likely to be presented to the fol- lowing legislature. An excerpt from the report of the 1947 Massachusetts Recess Commission on Education (House 1899) says,-"By 1945 the state's share in support of public schools amounted to under 9% of the total cost. Viewed from any angle, this is meager fiscal evidence of the state educational responsibility. Twenty-eight of the 48 states furnished from state sources anywhere from 30% to 92% of the total school revenues, while for the country as a whole approximately 30% of the school re- venue came from the state government."
The National Education Association, warning that a grave crisis is facing the United States, is sponsoring a bill for reimbursing states from federal funds in proportion to the ability of each state to maintain education at a proper level. The bill asks for three hundred million,- an esti- mated $4,160,000 of which would go annually to the state of Massachusetts.

MERRIMAC SCHOOL REPORT
CONTINUED TEACHER SHORTAGE
The teacher shortage continues, with no relief in sight, and the value of the dollar continues to decrease. In October, 1947, the Massachusetts teacher shortage was about 300. Enrollments in teacher colleges are not satis- factory. Senior pupils in teacher colleges are given con- tracts before they graduate at figures exceeding the maxi- mum paid in Merrimac to teachers of years of experience. Research Bulletin E16-III of the Massachusetts Teachers Federation, released December 12, 1947, gives the median (measured middle) elementary women classroom teachers salary in the reporting 103 Massachusetts small towns which run their own high schools as between $2,000 and $2,100 in October, 1947, and the same figure for the state as a whole (E 16) between $2,400 and $2,500 (high school men classroom teachers between $3,300 and $3,400,- women between $2,300 and $2,400). Merrimac class- room salaries at the new and higher scale adopted in 1947 and retroactive to January 1, 1947, start at $1,500 for teachers without degrees, with $100 increase annually for four steps. $100 for batchelor's degree. $100 more for master's degree. Only one Merrimac elementary teacher now receives more than $1,900 as classroom teacher. .
House bill 254 for 1948 legislature is an act establish- ing $2,400 as the minimum salary in public day schools. This is the figure recommended by the commissioner.
Towns in this district which do not run their own high schools were notified in 1947 that tuition rates will go up sharply beginning January 1, 1948.
COMPARISONS OF SCHOOL COSTS
According to the figures in Research Bulletin E 9-III of the Massachusetts Teachers Federation, released No- vember 20, 1947, which reported on 103 towns in Merri- mac's group which run their own small high schools, the
11
MERRIMAC SCHOOL REPORT
percentage of total Merrimac local tax which is used for the schools was only slightly more than three quarters (.769) of the average percentage of the total local tax which was used for the schools in the 103 towns of this group.
UPWARD TREND OF FIRST GRADE ENROLLMENTS
The birth rate per thousand in Massachusetts has: risen from 14.7 to 21.3 since 1939." This is an increase of about 45%. These decimals, applied to the Merri -. mac population, and assuming that the town has remained about the same size, would mean a rise of expected first. grade entrance from 35 to 51, except that such figures should be applied five or six years in lag because of the lapse of time between a child's birth and his entrance in school. According to statistics presented to the Harvard Conference for Superintendents on July 29 and 30, the national trend of birth rates indicate that the early 1950's. will show 50% increase in lower grade enrollments. In Merrimac the cumulative enrollment in the first grade for the six-year period ending in 1947 is 261, while that for the preceding six years is 217,- an increase of more than. 20%, from an average of 36.2 to an average of 43.5.
SPRING PRE-SCHOOL CLINIC AND REGISTRATION
On June 5th, Merrimac held a pre-school clinic and. fall registration at Centre School. There was a state-wide: movement in 1947 to have pre-school clinics before school closed in June, and on the same day to have the child re -. gistered for the opening of school in September. This. leaves the summer free for the parent to follow up in case. of any medical findings, and to make definite plans for en- tering the child on the opening day.

MERRIMAC SCHOOL REPORT
ENROLLMENT
On the first of October the enrollment of Merrimac public schools was 392, distributed as follows: In grades one to six 244, in grades seven and eight 65, in grades nine to twelve 83. Further distribution was- Grade I: Mrs. Whiting and Mrs. Davis 50, Grade II: Mrs. Manning and Mrs. Davis 46, Grade III: Mrs. Snow 38, Grade IV : Mrs. Felch 32, Grade V: Mrs. Journeay 39, Grade VI: Miss Burns 39, Grade VII: Mrs. Wolfe 26, Grade VIII: Mrs. Shaheen 39. In the High School, Grade IX 28, X 15, XI 23, XII 17, Mr. Chase, Miss Phelan, Mrs. Halpern, Mr. Patchett, Mr. Morrow.
TEACHING STAFF
At the end of January, 1947, Miss Harriet Shook re- signed. Her place was taken beginning the first part of February by Mrs. Mae Ethel Davis of Amesbury. Mrs. Davis, a graduate of Salem Normal School, taught fifteen years in Merrimac. She left in 1934; she was then a teacher of the lower grades at Merrimacport.
At the end of the School year in June, Miss Dorothy Kyros, language teacher at the high school, resigned. Her work was taken over by Mr. Isaiah Chase, principal. Mr. Chases' first work in this district was that of a language teacher at Merrimac High School. The high school staff was completed by the transfer of Mr. Edward Morrow as a full-time high school teacher; he was also continued as high school athletic coach for boys. The eighth grade, still in a classroom at the high school building, was assigned to Mrs. Angeline C. Shaheen. Mrs. Shaheen's first teaching in this district was in classes of junior high school grade. The sixth grade, still at Prospect Street School with the seventh, was assigned to Miss Mary C. Burns. Miss Burns was also made acting principal of the Prospect Street School. At the Centre School, which still shelters the first
13
MERRIMAC SCHOOL REPORT
five grades only, Mrs. Miriam M. Felch was assigned to the fourth grade and Mrs. Davis to part of the first grade and part of the second grade. Mrs. Helen K. Manning con- tinued as acting principal of Centre School until the end of November when she resigned the administrative duties but continued as second grade teacher. Mrs. Angeline C. Shaheen, who is principal on, tenure, comes to the Centre School office after the close of her eighth grade duties, usually at about two o'clock.
The transfer of teachers, after the resignation of Miss Kyros, reduced the number of teachers by one.
The state returns from the spring clinic (Dr. Fiske and Kirk) held under Chapter 71, Section 46, did not show a sufficient number of mandated cases to make a special class necessary at the Port in September.
In Conservation and Nature Lore, given every other Thursday in grade five under the auspices of the Massa- chusetts Audubon Society, Miss Dorothy Snyder from Pea- body Museum, Salem, replaced Mr. John V. Dennis in the fall.
In the music department Mrs. Doris M. Currier ar- ranged for instrumental instruction in school time for those whose parents desire it, in the hope of building material for a Merrimac school orchestra. Four pupils from the sixth grade, one from the seventh, and one from the fourth report for violin lessons. One or two others are planning to start soon. Mrs. Printon of Salisbury is the instructor in instrumental music.
GRADUATIONS
On Monday evening, June 16, at Sargent Hall, a class of 32 pupils, consisting of 15 boys and 17 girls, graduated from the eighth grade. Four were on the high honor roll for the year: Earl Brooks, Jr., Shirley Kneeland, Richard Taylor, and Phyllis Weckezak; eight were on honor roll
14
MERRIMAC SCHOOL REPORT
for the year: Loretta Bisson, Shirley Bunker, Judythe Buzzell, Juanita Hardy, Patricia Lambert, Sally Lund, Louise Sanborn, and Lois Sloban. The diplomas were pre- sented by Mr. Edwin E. Leidich The class gift, a globe, was presented by Lois Sloban and accepted by Charlotte Powers. A feature of the graduation was a Class Song written by a class committee and adapted to the music of an old folk song.
On Wednesday evening, June 18, at Sargent Hall, a class of 12 pupils, consisting of 6 boys and 6 girls, gradu- ated from the Merrimac High School. The valedictory was by Evelyn Nichol and the salutatory by Onni Mustonen. Diplomas were presented by Mrs. Annie L. Tucker. Other data will be found in the principal's report.
GENERAL SCHOOL NOTES
On February 5 the Haverhill Camp of Gideons gave a bible to each teacher and pupil in school from grade five through the high school. The presentations were by Mr. Gordon McCarron, President of the Boston Camp, and Mr. Frank Pond, President of the Haverhill Camp. Permis- sion, by vote of the Merrimac School Committee, had been obtained by the secretary of the Haverhill Camp, Mr. Theodore R. Chase of Merrimac.
On March 3 the Town of Merrimac voted not to res- cind the vote for the new consolidated school.
In March, due to a country-wide outbreak here and there of diptheria, the immunization of pupils was re- checked. For those children whose parents signed the request slips that were sent home, "booster" inoculations were given. Above the sixth grade the Schick test was available.
The annual standardized achievement tests were given on May 15 in the various school subjects for all pupils from grade two to eight inclusive. In high school the
15
MERRIMAC SCHOOL REPORT
Iowa Tests of Educational Development were given again. In the fall, teachers throughout the grades were given sheets showing how each subject in the classes they were starting stood in respect to the national median of achieve- ment, and what the normal time allotments were. These facts indicated which subjects in their grades needed the most attention and which should therefore be given some- what more than the average amount of time which would normally be allotted to that subject in that grade.
On May 29, at Sargent Hall, pupils of all grades united for the usual participation in Memorial Day exer- cises. In the place of a speaker there was a motion picture on the history and development of America.
In October a survey was made, covering the past five years of the elementary schools and their teaching person- nel, through a detailed questionnaire sent to the superin- tendent by the state department.
On October 21, at Spalding School, Salisbury, the teachers of Merrimac, Newbury, Salisbury and West New- bury met at 2 o'clock for a Symposium on Spelling. Miss Burns led the discussion on "Kinds of Spelling Knowledge," Mrs. Manning on "Attitudes and Habits in Learning Spel- ling," and Mrs. Shaheen on "Individual Study and Testing." Mr. Patchett was elected Vice-President of the Weneme- sane Club, a group affiliated with the Massachusetts Fed- eration of Teachers and comprising the teachers of the four towns.
On October 22, on the occasion of the visit of the Free- dom Train to Haverhill, children were excused from school to go through the train, if the parent so requested in writ- ing. About 150 pupils and teachers went by special buses of the Massachusetts Northeastern. The P. T. A. and First National Bank generously sponsored whatever trans- portation deficit was left for the special buses after the pupil fares.

MERRIMAC SCHOOL REPORT
On the morning of November 13 Inspector William F. Higgins from the Registry of Motor Vehicles showed films and gave talks on safety on the highways. The first group, at nine o'clock at Sargent Hall, comprised grades one to seven. The second group, with a different film, for grades eight to twelve, was at the High School.
Throughout 1947 Type "C" milk program of the Com- munity School Lunch was continued, that is, papers were again filed and the program renewed for Centre, Prospect, and High under the fall state reorganization. Under this program the state pays two cents a half-pint bottle, after detailed claims have been filed. The child pays the differ- ence. It should be called again to the attention of parents that, at the lower subsidized price, milk should be ordered for the pupil by the week, or the dealer may be the loser.
Parental interest continued during the year in relig- ious instruction under the conditions of Chapter 423 of the Acts of 1941. The Church of the Nativity reorganized classes from Grades 3 through 8. Under the statute, pupils whose parents request it in writing are excused from school one hour each week for religious instruction. In the fall, 109 attended classes. By grades the total registration for the town in all denominations was: Grade III 5, IV 19, V 26, VI 29, VII 20, VIII 10. The groups from grades four through seven, that meet at the First Baptist Church vestry, were taught by Mrs. L. F. Powers. All classes are held on Mondays, with a scheduled hour for each grade. There are classes from 9.15 a. m. to 2.15 p. m.
At the Centre School in the fall there was a shift of grade rooms to keep the beginning groups compactly toge- ther and to adjust the size of class to size of room. On the first floor, from School Street, front to rear, the order was Grade two, grades one and two (overflow), grade one, on the second floor, in same order, it was Grade three, grade five, grade four. Throughout the year there were so many special features that any mention must be random samp-
17
MERRIMAC SCHOOL REPORT
lings, such as The Friendly Village project in the spring in grade two, the blackboard color-chalk drawings by Mrs. Felch of rabbit groups at Easter and of the Star of Bethlehem scene at Christmas time, and the geography radio program (Seeing America) of fifth grade at 9.15 on Tuesdays.
The pupils' T. B. Seal Sales, for helping the county campaign against tuberculosis, amounted to $15.91. 4
High school extra-curriculum activities were varied : . they were social (such as the junior reception to seniors at Sargent Hall on May 10), dramatic (such as "The Singing Ghost" at Grange Hall on December 4), athletics both for the boys and girls, and other features which Mr. Chase will report upon. An athletic feature during the year was the basketball meet at Boston Garden with the team from Hanover, Massachusetts, on December 12, the transportation for which was arranged through the Boosters' Club.
School equipment added during the year included a Bioscope for projecting magnified objects on a screen in science work, and a Rex-O-Graph, a spirit duplicating machine.
Maintenance items during 1947 included, at Centre School, the repainting of the middle and rear rooms of the first floor and the installation of a hand rail on the rear cement steps, at Prospect Street School the repair of the piazza and its hand rails, as well as the hand rails to the basement, and at the High School the installation in the lower corridor of a smoke screen with double-acting doors. There were many minor maintenance items such as the re- pair of loose ceilings at both High and Centre Schools.
Mr. Charles Potter retired as janitor after many years of service. The janitor at both High and Centre Schools beginning Sept. 1, 1947, has been Mr. Russell G. Bowser.

RETURN OF EMPLOYMENT RESTRICTIONS FOR CHILDREN FOURTEEN TO SIXTEEN
Notification from the state department terminated special war-time concessions for granting of permits to minors between their fourteenth and sixteenth birthdays for longer hours for certain employment.
"The concessions made in 1943 covered employment in Bakeries, Bowling Alleys, Drink Dispensaries, Department Stores, Hospitals, Launderies and Dry Cleaners, Motion Picture Theaters, Motor Vehicle Operators, Parks and Beaches, Pharmacies, Restaurants, Retail Grocery Stores, Retail Dry Goods Stores, Shoe Shine Establishments, and Tractor Mowers. Except as indicated for bowling alley employment (6 hrs. per day, 6 days per week, until 10 P. M.) no employer may continue to employ minors under terms of emergency suspension statutes after September 15, 1947, even on authority of permits granted prior to that date." The hours now revert to six p. m. and the other limitations of the original statute.
