Report of Superintendent of Schools
To the School Committee of the Town of Palmer :
Gentlemen :- I herewith present my fifteenth annual report as Superintendent of Schools in Palmer. This is the thirty-third in the series of reports issued by the superin- tendents of the town.
INTRODUCTION
This report will consist of two main divisions :- (1) Regular Features-a brief resume of some of the out- standing things being done in the local schools; (2) High School Curriculum Change-a short statement of some of the reasons for such change.
In Part I, especial attention is call to "High Spots," which concludes it. This is a plain statement of fact-as we see it-ungarnished, non-hyperbolic, non-boastful.
Part II is a bare statement of the problem. A full, logical presentation of the case would require page after page. In fact, books have been written upon this sub- ject. Every local school has its own individual problems ; yet, underlying all, there are certain common basic facts. This is a mere-and meager, I know-attempt to let you see what confronts us. We are not alone in this matter. Everyone else has faced and attempted to solve it, or will have to.
108
PART I.
REGULAR FEATURES
Attendance.
The attendance figures for the school year of 1924-1925 show a remarkably healthy condition.
The average membership, 2,106.25 is within some sixty (60) of the highest average membership ever attained in our schools, which was secured just before the opening of the Polish Parochial School. The losses incurred at that time have been gradually made up year by year, until, during the current school year, they have been more than made up.
The percentage of attendance for the entire system was ninety-six and thirty-two hundredths per cent. (96.32%). This is an exceptionally high percentage of attendance. Last year, in a state-wide comparison of per- centages of attendance, the Palmer schools ranked very high. Our percentages of attendance have been high year after year.
Three hundred twelve (312) Perfect Attendance Certi- ficates were given out at the close of the last school year to pupils who had been neither absent nor tardy during the entire time.
Only two hundred eighty-seven (287) cases of tardi- ness occurred during the entire year. While this number is much larger than it should be, it is far smaller than is the number in most systems of our size.
In fact, our records in percentage of attendance, per- fect attendance, and tardiness, extended over a period of ten (10) or fifteen (15) years, will compare favorably with, if not excel, those of most school systems in Massachu- setts.
109
Health Work
One of the best pieces of constructive work done by the schools during the past few years has been that of Health. The amount, the ramifications and the effective- ness of this work can not be properly gauged by anyone who is not most intimately in touch with the school situation. The work is very largely a social, as well as a health, work. The amount of good which comes to not only the boys and girls, but also the homes of these same boys and girls, can not be properly evaluated. Many cases of physical defects have received proper treatment as a result of the school nurse. Many homes in which dire distress has existed have been given relief.
The examination of all school children conducted in accordance with the requirements of the State has been completed for the third consecutive year. The decrease in defects is so marked in 1925 over 1924, in 1925 over 1923, and in 1924 over 1923, that a table is here appended for comparsion purposes.

A study of this table will give marked evidence of the positive value of health examinations of school children. The decreases are almost unbelievable. They indicate that rather exceptionally good health conditions, all things con- sidered, now prevail in our schools.
These examinations are followed by notifications being sent to each parent calling his attention to any defect or defects which may exist in his child ; also, by a personal visit upon the part of the school nurse. Fine results have followed such personal follow-up. In fact, notifications which have not the personal follow-up amount to compara- tively little. Parents, as a rule, will not heed them.
This fall a tubercular clinic for school children was held.
During the year, several cases have been sent to the Shriners' Hospital for Crippled Children. Marked improve- ment has taken place in all cases that have been treated there.
Fourteen (14) school children were at the Preven- torium of the Hampden County Tuberculosis and Public Health Association at Provin Mountain during the summer The total number of days put in at the Preventorium was 303; the total weight gained was 40 lbs. 6 ozs .; the average number of days was 22; the average weight gained was 2 lbs. 14 ozs. All of these children are pre-tubercularly in- clined.
All of these functions were unknown to schools some twenty (20) years ago. They simply give an angle of some of the many lines of work which have fallen upon the schools. The schools have become social, as well as edu- cational agencies. The schools interest themselves in the child in many of his phases of outside-of-school activities.
School lunches are provided at cost to the School Lunches. pupils in Palmer and Three Rivers. The prices are kept at the lowest possible point. There is no attempt to make money. The lunches
112
are operated for the benefit of the children. Oftentimes, those who need them most are those who can least afford to pay for them. The cost per article must be considered by these pupils. Our prices easily compare in reasonable- ness with those in any school lunchroom.
The lunchroom is run as a separate organization and not as a direct part of the School Department. The re- ceipts and expenditures during the last calendar year are as follows :

The salaries of the two who operate the lunchroom in the High School, together with the cost of student help, were paid entirely throughout the entire year from lunch- room funds.

Viewed from every possible angle, a clean promotion of eighty and fifty hundredths per cent. (80.50%) of the entire elementary school enrolment speaks volumes. Eleven and seventy-six hundredths per cent. (11.76%) of condi- tional promotions and seven and seventy-four hundredths per cent. (7.74%) of non-promotions are not bad. The number of non-promotions in grades 1 and 2, practically eleven per cent. (11%) in each case, is small. First grades often run as high as twenty-five per cent. (25%) of non- promotions.
EXAMINATIONS
Mid-year and final tests were started in the grades in 1922, being given to all pupils from fourth grade up. There has been a constant improvement in the results secured in these examinations. A careful study of the results since the inception of the examinations has been made. The findings are so interesting that they are here given in tabu- lar form :

Special attention should be given to the results secured in the last final examinations. Ninety-three and eighteen hundredths per cent. (93.18%) had an average of seventy per cent. (70%) or better in all their tests. Only six and eighty-two hundredths per cent. (6.82%) fell below an average of seventy per cent. (70%). Out of this six and eighty-two hundredths per cent. (6.82%) three and ninety- eight hundredths per cent. (3.98%) ranged between sixty (60) and seventy (20) per cent; one and sixty-two hun- dredths per cent. (1.62%) between fifty (50) and sixty (60) per cent .; and one and twenty-two hundredths per cent. (1.22%) fell below fifty per cent. (50%).
EXTENSION WORK
Some excellent results were secured in the extension work done under the direction of the School Department during the past year. Our efforts were focalized upon a few major projects. Whatever was attempted was done reasonably well.
The total enrolment in the Americaniza-
Americanization. tion classes was one hundred forty-nine (149). The average membership was one hundred twenty-nine (129). At the close of the year, on March 26, certificates were awarded to ninety-three (93) pupils who had been present at sixty per cent (60%) or more of the sessions.
It is interesting to note the various nationalities repre- sented in these classes. They were as follows :- Albanian, Canadian French, Italian, Polish, Lithuanian, Russian, Armenian, Swedish, and Syrian. The nationality having the largest representation was the Polish with ninety-four (94) members.
Twenty (20) had taken out their first papers in the process of naturalization, and twelve (12) took out their second papers during the school year. The work which is done in our classes is held in high regard by the State
17
Department of Education. Our efforts and the results we get are often cited by them in their endeavors to incite other towns and cities to greater effort.
Many projects have been undertaken Home Bureau. with adults in co-operation with the Hampden County Improvement League. At least six (6) classes have been organized in the following projects :- Home Nursing, Millinery, Cloth- ing, etc. The enrolments in these various classes are good. Much interest is evinced and excellent results are secured. The women enroled are receiving valuable instruction. I can conceive of no better line of work for real heads of households than these.
The work was successfully carried on Boy's and Girl's this past year.
Club Work. Mr. Hall, agent of the Hampden County Improvement League, who supervised it, tells you briefly the story :
"Herewith is submitted our 1925 annual report for the work done among Palmer boys and girls in co-opera- tion with you school people. May we take this oppor- tunity of saying that the quality of the work done by your boys and girls has been of a very high standard.
"The Bondsville garden group has won for the second time, the trophy cup offered by the League for the best all around work done by a single garden group in the entire county. This is the only group that ever won such a prize two years in succession.
"John Sullivan, a Palmer boy, was awarded the highest honors open to any poultry club boy in Hampden County. Isabelle West, who won a similar honor for the canning club is now being considered for state honors. Two of the Palmer girls demonstrated canning so well that they were brought to the Eastern States Exposition to give public demonstrations. The same group was asked to assist with some special demonstration work at Woronoco, Mass.
118
"The Hampden County Improvement League is always more than willing to co-operate with you and your schools. The credit for this high quality work referred to, is due more to you local people than it is to anything we have done or could possibly do.

For several years, the Palmer Schools have been using the system of handwriting known as Palmer Penmanship. Fairly good results have been secured. Special incentive was added last year by making use of the awards that the Palmer Penmanship Company offered. These awards are as follows :- (1). Silver Star Button; (2). Gold Star But- ton; (3). Palmer Method Button; (4). Progress Pin; (5). Improvement Certificate: (6). Final Certificate. Each a- ward represents an amount of work done in approved style, established by the company as necessary for the securance of the award.
The number of awards secured by the pupils in our graded schools during the past year are as follows :- Silver Star Button, 325; Gold Star Button, 284; Palmer Method Pins, 187; Progress Pins, 364; Improvement Certificates, 49 ; Final Certificates, 24.
OPPORTUNITY CLASS
Our Opportunity Class in the Wenimisset School is fulfilling its purpose, to a very large degree. Pupils attending these classes are benefited much-often more than they, or their parents, realize. These boys and girls are, as a rule, more manually than mentally minded, and are, for the first time in their lives, in a school where the environment is suited to their abilities-an environment which gives them a large degree of satisfaction because they can see definite accomplishments made by themselves.
Examinations have just been completed, under the direction of Dr. . M. B. Hodskins, Superintendent of the Monson State Hospital, with the following results :- Num- ber Examined, 89; Sent to Special Class, 31; Continue in Grades, 33; Continue in Special Classes, 3; Borderline Cases, 43; Needing Medical Attention, 29; Needing Social Supervision, 5; Normal 2; Defined as Dull 18; Defined as Moron, 20; Diagnosis Deferred, 6.

CONTINUATION SCHOOL
The Continuation School had a total enrolment during the last school year of two hundred thirty-three (233)-one hundred two (102) boys and one hundred thirty-one (131) girls. The average membership was one hundred sixty- seven and eighty-eight hundredths (167.88) ; the average attendance was one hundred sixty-five and eight-nine hun- dredths (165.89). The percentage of attendance was ninety-eight and eighty-one hundredths per cent. (98.81%).
The total expenditures for the year were $6,250.27, divided as follows :- MAINTENANCE-Administration, $225; Instruction, $4,525.97; Auxiliary Agencies, $424.29; Operation of Plant, $629.75; Repairs and Replacements, $29.21; Total, $5,834.22.
ESTABLISHMENT AND EXTENSION OF PLANT - Construction, $353.75; Equipment, $62.30; ยก Total, $416.05; Grand Total, $6,250.27.
The receipts were as follows :- Tuition, $190.96; Smith-Hughes Act, $292.74; Cash Received from Work and Products, $55.80; Total, $539.50.
The State re-imbursed the Town fifty per cent. (50%) upon $5,294.72, the re-imbursement netting Palmer $2,647.36. The difference between the total cost of opera- tion, $6,250.27, and the amount upon which re-imburse- ment was made, $5,294.72, is found by deducting from the former $+16.05, expenditure for establishment and extension of plant, a non-re-imburseable expenditure by the State, yet a necessary expenditure-plus the $539.30 received from Tuition, Smith-Hughes, and Cash from Work and Pro- ducts (revenue received and turned directly into the Town Treasurer). The difference is $935.55.
