Report of Superintendent of Schools
To the School Committee of the Town of Palmer:
Gentlemen :- I herewith present my twentieth annual report as Superintendent of Schools in Palmer. This is the thirty-eighth in the series of reports issued by the superintendents of the town.
INTRODUCTION
This report will be brief. A few of the matters which should be presented will be crowded into as small a space as possible. The temptation, in writing a report of this nature, is to elaborate. The temptation though hard to resist, will be.
ATTENDANCE
The attendance statistics for the school year of 1929- 1930 show a marked improvement over the previous year. Our percentage a year ago-95.43%-was, for us, very low. This lowness of percentage was due to an epidemic: of measles and influenza.
Our percentage of attendance for 1929-1930 was: ninety-seven and twenty-six hundredths per cent. (97.26%). This is a high percentage and bespeaks much for the Palmer schools in this particular. Palmer's per- centage in attendance has always been high. Usually, the State issues a State-wide rating. This year we have not received such a rating.
In the five previous years, out of three hundred
10
fifty-five (355) towns and cities in the State, we ranked between fourth (4th) and sixteenth (16th).
Last year, out of an average membership of two thousand sixty-two and four hundredths (2,062.04), there were four hundred and sixty (460) pupils perfect in at- tendance-neither absent nor tardy. In other words, a little better than twenty per cent. (20% ) of the average membership were perfect. Each year we average a per- centage of twenty per cent. (20%), which means that one out of every five pupils maintains a perfect record. There are few, if any, school systems in the State which equal this. In fact, our attendance averages so well, year in and year out, that locally it is taken as a matter of fact. Other towns and cities often inquire how we can secure such good results.
Figures, in themselves, mean nothing. They are purely and solely valuable in what they indicate. In at- tendance, a high percentage indicates that wholesome and high standards of punctuality and regularity have been, and still are being, inculcated in Palmer boys and girls. These two things are an important part of char- acter.

HEALTH WORK
The health work done in our schools is commendable. Year in and year out, for the past ten years, excellent work has been done, not only in the usual health meas- ures, but also in many which may be classified as unusual. A sure indication of good health of Palmer children is the high percentage of attendance attained.
A large percentage of our pupils from
Diphtheria. first grade to the senior year in high school have been immunized. A few years ago, a clinic was run in which wholesale immuniza- tion, so to speak, was given. Each year since, an op- portunity is offered to the pupils in the first grade and, in fact, to all others who have not been immunized but desire to be given the Toxin Anti-Toxin. As a result,
12
seventy-nine and thirty-five hundredths per cent. (79.35%) of our enrollment have been immunized.
This year the usual follow-up clinic was
Tuberculosis. given in September. In September, 1928, a State clinic examined one thou- sand five hundred eighty-three (1,583) children. Re- ports were furnished us by the State indicating those who were ten per cent. (10%) underweight, suspicious, or Hilum cases. Since then, there have been two follow-up clinics, one each year, conducted by the State. Every school month, those who were reported as needing at- tention are weighed. Careful follow-up is made. Parents are advised as to methods to be pursued in the best inter- ests of the child. Without any question, many pupils who later on would develop a type of tuberculosis which would prove fatal are discovered in time to prevent such a catastrophe.
These two clinics-Tuberculosis and Diptheria-will be responsible for a healthy continuation of life to many local boys and girls. Parents should be grateful. The public takes everything which the schools do for granted ; it is part of their job. Were a private agency to do such valuable work as has been done by these two clinics, com- mendation would be heaped upon it.
The schools are the greatest social agency existent in any town or city. Sometimes, they seem to be the most unappreciated and least understood agency operating in any community.
The report of the last Tuberculosis clinic was as follows :

Each fall a thorough physical examin-
Physical ation is given each child in our schools. Examinations. A continuous card is kept for each pupil. Whenever difficulties are noted, notices are sent home. These are followed up by a personal home visit by the school nurse when advice, recommendation, and, if necessary, exhortation are given.
Child Health Day was observed Friday,
May Day. May 9. Programs were run in every school in which every room participated. Games, songs, playlets, all centering around health, made up the program. Tags were given for teeth and physical fitness. Physical fitness, as specified by the State, includes such matters as teeth, heart, tonsils, lungs, posture, weight, etc. One hundred per cent. (190%) was required to secure such a tag. As can readily be seen, the acquisi- tion of a physically-fit tag was not an easy matter. Den- tal certificates showing good condition of teeth earned a teeth tag.

More than nine hundred (900) people visited the schools. Excellent co-operation from parents was secured.
Miss McAdam, who has been our school nurse Nurse. since such a position was created in 1921, gave up her position September 1, 1930. Miss McAdam did unusually fine work. She knew local con- ditions very intimately. She was very tactful in her ap- proach to parents and, consequently, secured maximum co-operation. Much of the success of our health work is due to her "all-round" efficiency as a school nurse.
Miss Teresa Frydryk succeeded her. She has as- sumed the responsibility of her office with the right sort of attitude. She is continuing the fine work of her pre- decessor. She will "fit nicely into the picture." She rendered very valuable assistance to the Palmer Com- munity Service during the Month of December.

For the school year ending in June, 1929, the per- centages were :- Promoted Unconditionally, 79.14% ; Promoted Conditionally, 13.25% ; Not Promoted, 7.62%.
For the school year ending in June, 1930, the per- centages were :- Promoted Unconditionally, 81.13% ; Promoted Conditionally, 13.32% ; Not Promoted, 5.55%.
A comparison of percentages indicates that a larger number of pupils were promoted unconditionally in 1930 than in 1929. The per cent, Not Promoted was 5.55%. In view of the fact that a nationally accepted percentage of non-promotions, where ideal conditions exist, is 7%, it is evident that, with 5.55%, we are doing better than even the idealist expects.

STATE READING PLAN.
This plan has been used in our schools for six (6) years. A selected list of books is furnished by the State Library Commission, a division of the State Department of Education. Certificates were issued for the reading of five (5) books from this list. Each year nearly every school secures one hundred per cent. (100%), which means that every pupil from Grades 4 to 9, both inclusive, reads the required number of books.
This year, due to the misunderstanding of one of the teachers who is new to the system, one school fell far short of one hundred per cent. (100%).
The results for last year are here given:

Some may wonder why the schools interest them- selves in such a plan as this. The answer is simple. The sole reason is an attempt to inculcate the habit of read- ing the right kind of literature. Habits control a large part of every person's life. In this machinized age, leisure, upon the part of everybody, is becoming greater and greater. The use of one's leisure is what "makes or breaks a man". It is the schools' job to give certain at- titudes and habits which will carry over into the leisure hours, providing therein profitable employment of one's
19
time and mind. There is no better safeguard than the habit of reading right books.
HIGH SCHOOL ENROLLMENT
The enrollment in the high school this year is the largest within the history of the school. An increase of one hundred (100) pupils over that of last year was reg- istered in September.
