During 1943 the Tree Department functioned along its usual line despite priorities, a shortage of help and material.
The Department planted twenty trees throughout the four villages. It trimmed all hazards trees of dead wood on the main streets and roads. The ice storm of January created many broken limbs and split crotches which were taken care of. The Department took down three trees which were dead or hazardous. The young trees which were planted after the hurricane were trimmed and shaped.
The Department answered the usual amount of calls for limbs rubbing on roofs, hanging over chimneys and low-branches over sidewalks.
In 1944 the Department will trim and put in shape all trees on the Three Rivers Common as well as its usual work. Both of these have memorial plaques on them and the Three Rivers Common is being used extensively by the workers at the various plants there.

Despite the severe winter of 1943 the infestation of moths and other leaf eating insects increased last year in Western Mass. We destroyed eight thousand egg clus- ters during the winter months. A great many more we were unable to get because of the heavy coating of ice most of the winter. If the good weather lasts we hope to obtain many more this winter. We sprayed the elm trees in the four villages and most of the oak trees. We took down a great number of old apple and cherry trees to eliminate the tent caterpillers. Several woodland areas were defoliaged and had to be sprayed. In several parts of the town the maple trees were attacked by a blight. Most of them we expect will recover and be healthy this spring.

Three Rivers Branch Library Thorndike Branch Library 3,618
8,006
Bondsville Branch Library
8,830
45,519
The circulation shows a loss of 5,462 during the year of 1943, a condition which is due to the employ- ment situation which allows little time for reading by our adult borrowers who as a whole are busy in plants essential to the war effort, and the removal from town into the armed services of our country of so many of our young men as well as a large number of our young women who have joined auxiliary forces attached to the several armed branches; these two latter constituting about thirteen percent of the population of the Town. Even in the homes an additional burden is placed upon the wives and mothers, with little opportunity for help that could ordinarily be obtained. Children, too, are busy at a variety of tasks never before needed.
While these unavoidable conditions have caused a decrease in the number of books that have been taken from the Library, the number of our registered borrow- ers has increased, there being now 2,664, an addition of 48 more than in the previous year, an average of about one borrower to each family of the town.

The Trustees acknowledge and appreciate the loyalty and help of our citizens in a very difficult year, and par- ticularly of our Assistant Librarians in the main library and its branches in each of the villages of our Town. We were unfortunate the first part of the year in the loss of the services of Mrs. Virginia Dean, assistant at the main library, who was unable to continue in .her position, but who aided us in every way possible until we could obtain the necessary assistant to take her place.
After several months we obtained the services of Miss Anne Diaz, who gave up her position with the American Optical Company of Southbridge to accept employment with the library. She was familiar with the work through experience acquired as one of the N.Y.A. girls assigned to the library under the Aid pro- gram instituted by and paid for by the Federal Govern- ment during the depression period, a program which enabled the trustees to build up the physical condition of the library and better its service to the people of our Town.
The inability to purchase needed equipment, books and supplies ; the decrease in the salary account due to loss of our assistant librarian for a considerable period ; and a decrease in the insurance premiums paid, but for which funds will be necessary in 1944, has enabled the trustees to complete the year of 1943 by using only $2,200 of the $3,200 appropriated for library purposes ; the balance of $1000 being left in the Town treasury.
The trustees believe the amount of $3,000 will be required from the Town to cover the funds needed for the year of 1944 and respectfully request that an appro- priation of that amount be made.

Report of Superintendent of Schools
To the School Committee of the Town of Palmer:
I herewith present my thirty-third report as Super- intendent of Schools in Palmer. This is the fifty-first in the series of reports issued by the superintendents of the Town.
ATTENDANCE
The attendance statistics for the school year of 1942- 1943 were as follows :- Enrollment, 1,428; Average Mem- bership, 1,327.73; Average Attendance, 1,223.99; Per Cent of Attendance, 92.18; Tardiness, 395.
The percentage of attendance-92.18-suffered be- cause of a very severe epidemic of measles in the spring. The average percentage over a period of thirty-two years has been, approximately, 96.25%. This is a high average and bespeaks well for the Palmer Schools.
LOCAL WAR PARTICIPATION
The local schools have continued their active partici- pation in the war effort.
In February and October, the teachers handled most efficiently the issuing of War Ration Books II and IV. In February, 8,732 books were issued; in October, 8,442.
119
These registrations were well-planned and well- executed. Ample time was taken; long hours were pro- vided each day so that people working on any one of three shifts could conveniently come. The net result was that, when registrations closed, practically every person in town had registered-if not, it was his own fault. As proof, only 75 books were issued by the Local War Ration Board after the close of the last registration. In several almost contiguous towns, because of less ample time and shorter hours, ration boards had to hold special registration hours to take care of those who failed to register at schools.
The schools have no choice in the matter of con- ducting these registrations. The Governor, under his war emergency powers, directs the schools to do this work. They are chosen because experience has shown that they are the only organization that has the set-up and ability to do such a tremendous job. The attempted registration by mail for War Ration Book III proved this.
Our effort has been directed towards doing this job as effectively as possible in order to relieve the Local War Ration Board of as much work as possible, because they are a busy group. They feel very appreciative.
There is a loss of school time-but this is war. If the schools can contribute their "mite", they are glad to do so. They have always preached patriotism; now they can practice it.
This last registration gave, I believe, an indication of Palmer's population. 8,442 books were issued by the schools; 75 by the local board; and, at registration time, about 1,100 were in the Armed Forces-a total of 9,617.
The sale of War Saving Stamps and Bonds in the schools has been very good. From the date of the first
120
sale-March 20, 1942-up to December 17, 1942, the total amount purchased was $10,722.30; the average amount per collection was $434.29. The amount sold this last calendar year was $33,549.50. The total from date of in- ception-March 20, 1942- to December 9, 1943, was $44,271.80; the average amount per collection was $779.21.

It seems superfluous to say that this is an excellent showing.
The pupils have done well in collecting waste paper and tin cans. They willingly tackle any job within the range of their ability assigned to them. They are patri- ots "in the making."
The world situation is kept before them at all times. We not only try to teach them democracy, but also to impregnate them with the spirit of democracy-and the spirit is the important thing.
In the high school, the "toughened" physical educa- tion program, the work in aeronautics, mathematics, science, mechanical drawing, etc.,-all are aimed at fit- ting for war, either in service or production.
121
We take no special pride in this, as every school sys- tem in the country is doing likewise. The public should realize what an asset it has in the schools. They are the "cradle of democracy"; the "first line of defense"-ad infinitum.
HONOR ROLL
The Master Honor Roll for the town is placed upon a plot of ground contiguous to the high school. This is an ideal location-from the school standpoint, for two reasons. First, because of the some 1,200 names on the roll, or about to be placed there, it is a fair assumption to assert that, undoubtedly, some 800 to 900 names are those of boys and girls (now young men and women) who were members of Palmer High School at some time or other in their school career. It would be interesting to know just how many have been. The task of ascer- taining would be difficult; yet it is worthy of doing. A service flag hanging under the "Stars and Stripes" on our 70-foot flagpole, bearing the numerals of, say, 853 would be a source of pride-justifiable-and inspiration. It would add greatly to the second good reason for the ideality of the location of the honor roll-the inspiration realized by high school pupils as they pass daily by the honor roll. No one can properly evaluate the power of inspiration. Spirit is what counts.
USE OF SCHOOL BUILDINGS
The public continue to use school buildings without cost for educational and civic purposes. The School Com- mittee has always been far-visioned and liberal in this matter, sensing the great contribution that such use makes to the "public weal."
The schoolhouse should be the center of educational, recreational, social, and civic life for both children and adults in communities such as Palmer.
122
Such use adds materially to cost of operation, be- cause it is figured as a school cost. It is a wise invest- ment. The town spends no money to greater advantage.
HEALTH WORK
The schools are social as well as educational agencies. In fact, education is a part of the social set-up. Health is an essential in any social conception. It is, in many ways, a social duty.
The local school system has had this conception for many years and has attuned its efforts accordingly.
There are two outstanding obstacles to attaining as successful a program as we desire-indifference to, and lack of understanding of, the necessity of correcting de- fects pointed out to some parents. In some cases, there is a third-financial inability. Year by year, an improve- ment in this condition becomes more and more discern- ible. This buoys us up and gives us the inspiration to "keep everlastingly at it."
ADULT ALIEN EDUCATION
This is our fourth year since our resumption of the work in 1940.
It is an important endeavor. Loyal citizens are a "sine qua non". Such has always been the case; but, from now on, it will be more so. Citizenship is becoming a bigger and bigger job as we break out of the cocoon of nationalism and fly into the realms of internationalism. Intelligent leaders and intelligent followers are needed.
Adult Alien Education is an effort to produce a de- sirable citizen-one who senses the "American Way of Life."
Enrollments are smaller because everyone is work- ing and on various shifts. This is true everywhere.
It is a fine work!
123
WORK OF HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS IN ADVANCED INSTITUTIONS
High Schools are judged as to their efficiency by the records of their pupils in advanced institutions. This is an erroneous basis of judgment, because only a small percentage of the graduates of the average high school go on to college. The majority of them go out into life. The major objective of the American high school is to prepare pupils, insofar as certain limitations will allow, for proper participation in a democracy such as ours- in other words for real citizenship. Democratic partici- pation by all the people in determining the direction of social policy makes universal education mandatory. To educate insofar as each is educable is democracy's duty and salvation. It is the eternal debt of each generation to the succeeding generation.
A high school's efficiency should be judged on the basis of the school's measuring up to this duty. Due to the fact that the basis of judgment upon the part of the public is college preparation, these statistics are pre- sented.
Each year, at the end of the first semester, marks of all freshmen in higher institutions are sent us. These institutions are colleges, teachers colleges, commercial colleges, nurse-training schools, and special schools. These colleges have various methods of marking, but, in a general way, the marks may be summarized somewhat as follows :- "A", which ordinarily means 90 or better ; "B", 80 or better; "C", 70 or better; "D", 60 or better (passing) ; "E", below 60 (passing but not satisfactory) ; "F", considerably below 60 (failing) .
124
A study of these marks over a thirteen- year period shows that 1475 pupil-subject marks have been given during the first semester of these various institutions. There were two hundred twenty-six (226) A's or fifteen plus per cent (15+%) ; five hundred nine (509) B's, or thirty-four plus per cent (34+%); four hundred sev- enty-six (476) C's, or thirty-two plus per cent (32+%); one hundred ninety-six (196) D's, or thirteen plus per cent (13+%); thirty-one (31) E's, or two plus per cent (2+%); twenty-seven (27) F's, or one plus per cent (1+%); ten (10) Conditions and Incompletes, or less than one (1) per cent. Out of one thousand four hun- dred seventy-five (1475) marks, one thousand four hun- dred thirty-eight (1438) or ninety-seven and one-half per cent (971/2%), were passing or better.
These pupils secured entrance to college by three methods :- (1) Certification, which means that the high school stands back of the pupil. Such pupils must secure in high school an average, practically, of 85% in each subject throughout their high school course. (2) Cer- tification and Examination, which means that pupils take examinations in subject for which they can not receive certification. (3) Transcript, which means that high school simply sends along the marks, without accepting any responsibility.
These marks tell their own story.

JOB OF THE SCHOOLS
The task of the schools is three-fold :- (1) Teach pupils to think straight; (2) give them the power to dis- tinguish between right and wrong; (3) give them the courage to do that which is right.
Knowledge alone does not guarantee goodness or right conduct. There are certain standards of moral and spiritual conduct which give recognition of the rights of others, a sensing of our duties and responsibil- ities, and a spirit of service and sacrifice. In brief, there must be inspiration as well as knowledge, if the right type of citizen is to be secured. The schools have a chal- lenging opportunity in helping effect this.
CONCLUSION
I desire to express my appreciation of (1) the co- operation of the School Committee; (2) the moral and financial support of the public; (3) the loyalty and effi- ciency of the teaching corps; (4) the fairness and sup- port of the parents; (5) the soundness and good sports- manship of the pupils.
All five "teamed up together" should spell success.
Respectfully submitted,
CLIFTON H. HOBSON
Superintendent of Schools
Palmer, Massachusetts, January 7, 1944.
