The High School is also doing good work, both in chorus and orchestra. And this year the High School is giving a Musical Comedy "The Gypsy Rover," the libretto of which is being coached by Miss Dunphy, principal of the school. A musical comedy is a very difficult thing for a high school of this size to undertake but all have en-

tered into the comedy in a splendid spirit and we feel that after February 19 and 20 the nights of performance, they may well be worthy of a great deal of credit.


In June 1924, between eighty and ninety of the children from the grades in the Williamsburg school, gave a very pleasing operetta entitled "On Midsummer's Day" by Beatrice Aldermann from which quite a sum was realized. The children enjoyed the work very much and every one from the tiny over-all boys and the little sun- bonnet babies up to the older children who represented flowers in the garden made very evident the ability of a child in music in the public schools.


At Christmas time pleasing entertainments were given in both towns and the attendance at each was very pleasing to the teachers who had tried so hard to make them such a success.


I would like to say very much in regard to penman- ship but I think I will be brief and simply say that all . classes are showing plainly the benefits of regular pen- manship instruction which is also due to the efficient grade teachers. Even the little tots enjoy their drills which now is very noticeable, after two years of practise, in the present third, fourth and fifth grades.


At this time I want to express my feeling of gratitude for your assistance and also extend my sincere thanks to the teachers for their co-operation and willingness to assist in my classes and I shall hope that the coming year may be as pleasant and helpful as the past has been.


Respectfully submitted,


C. RUTH WARNER,


Supervisor of Music.

REPORTS OF WILLIAMSBURG SCHOOL COMMITTEE FOR THE YEAR


1924


ANNUAL REPORT


OF THE


SCHOOL COMMITTEE *


OF THE


Town of Williamsburg


FOR THE


e


Year Ending December 31, 1924


* Other Town officers separate.


Report of School Committee


To the Citizens of the Town of Williamsburg :


Your School Committee beg leave to submit their Annual Report as follows ;--


The major repairs made during 1924 include the painting of the Haydenville Grammar School, an addition to the Purrington School, remodelling the interior of Mountain Street School and considerable carpenter work in the several buildings. The cement culvert that was causing considerable trouble in the rear of the Hayden- ville Grammar School was opened in several places, cleaned out, and it does not seem possible to cause any further trouble.


During the 1925 school year it has been considered necessary to make the following repairs ;


One new 30 inch furnace in the Haydenville Gram- mar School, new furnace in both Purrington and Maple St. Schools, interior painting in James School and Hay- denville Grammar. Installation of electric lights has been made in the Haydenville school. The roof of the James School is also to be repaired.


It is too bad that so much money has to be spent on repairs to our old buildings, but owing to high labor and material costs for several years past, ordinary repairs were postponed and they now appear one by one as major repairs, absolutely impossible to be put off any longer.


4


Your Committee sometimes hear of the "Excessive sums of money spent on our schools," and unless one reads the Treasurer's Report carefully, it does appear that such remarks are partially justified. A careful analysis of the Treasurer's Report however shows that altho in our last Town Report the Treasurer paid School Com- mittee Orders to the amount of $30,036.01 the repayment to the Town on the School Account amounted to $13,- 105.79. This repayment to the Town comes from State Aid, Tuition of pupils from surrounding towns, State and Boston Wards, and the income from invested School Funds.


In 1922 the expenditures of the School Dept. were $27,644.17 and repayments were $17,530.76.


We submit that considering the above statements which are confirmed in your Town Reports, your schools are being run exceptionally economically. This fact is bourn out by the State Report showing that the cost per High School Pupil in our High School is $92.12 and the cost per grade pupil in our schools is $51.50. Both of these costs are just about the lowest in the State.


The need for the addition to the James School for use of the High School Dept. is more apparent than ever, and it appears that the longer it is put off, the greater will be the cost.


The Appropriation we ask for the year 1925 is the same as was granted in 1924 and amounts to $33,500.00.


Your Committee in closing its Report extends its sincere thanks to all who have had a part in the adminis- tration of school affairs.


Respectfully submitted, J. CLARK FOSTER, SUSAN H. WHEELER, WALTER H. THAYER.

Superintendent's Report


To the Members of the School Committee :


The annual report of the Superintendent of Schools is herewith submitted.


The same twelve schools were in operation as they were last year. One additional recitation room was ad- ded at the Purrington school. Miss Helen O'Brien, who is the assistant teacher there, holds her classes in this new room. This separating of the class here makes it possible to do the work better and more quickly. The new rooms have been a great help since school began in September.


As is usual at the end of each school year in June, some of our teachers resign and new teachers must be se- cured to take their places Last June the following changes occurred. Miss Grace Bunnell who taught in grade one at Williamsburg went to El Paso, Texas to teach. Miss Doris Leland a graduate of North Adams Normal School was appointed to carry on this work. In the high school upon the resignation of Mr. A. J. Clough, Mr. Cleon B. Johnson, a graduate of M. A. C. was secured to teach mathematics and science. Miss Helen S. Pratt, a graduate of Wheaton College, was appointed to fill the vacancy in the history and civics department, caused by the resignation of Miss Mae E. Toole. Miss Mildred E. Brown, North Adams Normal School 1924, was appointed to the principalship of the Haydenville School, in place of Mr. Edwin Miller, resigned. Miss Mildred Daley also of


15


North Adams Normal School was secured to teach grades five and six. Miss Margaret O'Leary, Westfield Normal took the place left vacant by the resignation of Miss Katherine Riley. Miss Marion Chandler a graduate of Westfield Normal School was appointed to the Mt. St. school when Miss Atherton resigned. Mrs. R. A. Warner, a Smith College graduate was elected to the place in grades seven and eight left vacant by the resignation of Mr. Vernon Stiles. These teachers have done good work, and have taught the usual work as called for in the course of study.


The enrolment was slightly larger than last year the increase being mainly at Haydenville. Here a new build- ing is needed to replace the old one which is not suitable for school purposes because of poorly arranged windows and lack of light. The light has had to be supplemented by electric light. No child should have to spend any part of his time in school studying under artificial light. Plen- ty of daylight is available in properly lighted buildings. The old building requires a large amount for repairs each year and when the money is spent we still have an old building. A new building that would accommodate all Haydenville children would not only provide proper teach- ing and studying conditions, but would cost less to operate and much less for repairs. It is hoped that the Town Meeting will appoint a committee to consider a new build- ing for Haydenville.


While on the subject of new things for our schools, it is fitting that some consideration be given the high school. Under the present plan we are limited to two programs of study, namely the college preparatory and the general course. This puts our high school into the class of high schools known as limited high schools. Op- posed to this is the group called comprehensive high schools. These are as near ideal as they can be made in that they offer many and various courses of study so that a boy or girl may select the work to which he or she is


16


best adapted. With our facilities and the size of the schools we cannot, of course, offer as much in variety as the larger schools can. Nevertheless we can, by the ad- dition of another teacher, put in some new courses, pos- sibly a commercial course or a course in agriculture or in practical arts. It is recommended that the commercial course be added this year and the work begun in Septem- ber.


In closing permit me to thank the School Committee and all others for their co-operation and help during the year 1924.


Respectfully submitted, L. A. MERRITT,


Superintendent of Schools.


Report of School Nurse


Feb. 6, 1925.


Mr. L. A. Merritt,


The progress of the health in the schools continues to be satisfactory. The following is a summary of the work.


An average of five days a month in the schools.


9 hours assisting Dr. Wheeler with physical examina- tions.


2 hours assisting Dr. Hayes with physical examina- tions.


Assisted Dentist with dental examination and work in the Haydenville schools.


14 home visits were made.


All pupils have been weighed twice in the year. All the underweights were weighed four times. The under- weights have been urged to drink milk.


33 pupils were 10 percent or more under-weight in Dec. 1924.


Notices sent to parents of the height, weight and normal weight of each pupil. Also of defects in the eye, ear, or other troubles.


Miss Stewart assisted me at the Mountain St. School. And we used her portable scales.


Several minor dressings. Four having a tempera- ture were sent home,


18


I wish to thank the school committee for the new scales in the Haydenville Schools.


In closing I wish to express appreciation to parents and teachers also to the Superintendent, for their interest and co-operation in the work.


Respectfully submitted,


FABIOLA PLOURDE.


P. S. $2.64 Sent to Mr. Foster. This is money from the sale of tooth-brushes in the schools.


Music and Penmanship Report


To the Superintendent and Members of the School Board.


Following is a brief report of the music and pen- manship in the schools of the town. It is not necessary it seems, to go into detail of our work, especially in music as somewhat the same work with changes and variations is covered every year. However this has been a very successful year and by the efforts of our competent grade teachers, we have been able to bring the music of our grades up to standard.


Very efficient work is being done in the intermediate grades, especially reading and two-part singing. This I feel should be credited to the pleasing manner in which the subject is presented to the class by the class-room teacher.


Mountain Street is the only out-lying school, now in our district and is very interesting school to visit, the children all love music and to hear them sing and read their sight work is a credit to any supervisor. And altho' they read and sing well they have not devoted all their time to that alone, theory is never forgotten.


The High School is also doing good work, both in chorus and orchestra. And this year the High School is giving a Musical Comedy "The Gypsy Rover," the libretto of which is being coached by Miss Dunphy, principal of the school. A musical comedy is a very difficult thing for a high school of this size to undertake but all have en-


20


tered into the comedy in a splendid spirit and we feel that after February 19 and 20 the nights of performance, they may well be worthy of a great deal of credit.


In June 1924, between eighty and ninety of the children from the grades in the Williamsburg school, gave a very pleasing operetta entitled "On Midsummer's Day" by Beatrice Aldermann from which quite a sum was realized. The children enjoyed the work very much and every one from the tiny over-all boys and the little sun- bonnet babies up to the older children who represented flowers in the garden made very evident the ability of a child in music in the public schools.


At Christmas time pleasing entertainments were given in both towns and the attendance at each was very pleasing to the teachers who had tried so hard to make them such a success.


I would like to say very much in regard to penman- ship but I think I will be brief and simply say that all classes are showing plainly the benefits of regular pen- manship instruction which is also due to the efficient grade teachers. Even the little tots enjoy their drills which now is very noticeable, after two years of practise, in the present third, fourth and fifth grades.


At this time I want to express my feeling of gratitude for your assistance and also extend my sincere thanks to the teachers for their co-operation and willingness to assist in my classes and I shall hope that the coming year may be as pleasant and helpful as the past has been.


Respectfully submitted,


C. RUTH WARNER,
