Report of the School Committee
The School Committee wishes to report that it be- lieves the work of our schools in all departments is pro- gressing satisfactorily. The major accomplishment of the year in the way of improvements was the grading of the Haydenville School grounds and the lot donated to the school by Mrs. Wilbur M. Purrington. The brook that runs through the lot was led into a cement conduit and no further trouble from overflowing is anticipated. The whole lot was enclosed with a suitable fence.
Next year, we hope to be able to paint the outside of the Haydenville School to keep up its good appearance.
At the Helen E. James School, two sections of the smaller boiler became cracked and had to be replaced. Considering the cost of such repairs, this was done as economically as possible.
Before the end of the year, we hope to have installed the toilets in the girls' lavatory as we recommended last year.
The brick in the Helen E. James building needs point- ing badly for in some places, it has not been tended to since the building was erected.
In looking to the future, we would again call the at- tention of people of the town to the need of a gynasium at the school to make our plant complete. If this were built, it could be made to serve for more purposes, just athletic contests. It could be built so that it would be a hall for larger gatherings than we have room for in the town at present and with a stage it could be used for plays and entertainments.
50
In conclusion, we wish to thank all those who have worked in any way for the advancement of our schools.
Respectfully Submitted, RICHARD F. BURKE, Chairman, WILLIAM G. LOOMIS, WARREN E. McAVOY, School Committee.

Superintendent's Report
To the Members of the School Committee:
The annual report of the Superintendent of Schools is herewith submitted. It is the nineteenth of the pres- ent series and the thirty-eighth since the establishment of this school union.
At the close of schools in June, Mrs. John Breguet resigned from her position as teacher of grades three and four at the Haydenville School. Mrs. Breguet had served faithfully and well in our schools for ten years, and it was with regret that her resignation was accepted.
To fill that vacancy Miss Anastasia Kostek of Hay- denville was elected. Miss Kostek is a graduate of East- hampton High School and of the Westfield Teachers' Col- lege. She holds a four year degree from that college. It was most gratifying to be able to secure such a well trained and efficient teacher for this position. There were no other changes in the teaching staff.
The elementary schools again showed a slight de- crease in enrollment as compared with that of September, 1938. At Williamsburg there were 135 as of September, 1939, where there were 140 in 1938. In Haydenville the number dropped from 120 in 1938 to 113 in 1939. There is a tendency toward a slight increase in the first grades, however. At present writing, Williamsburg has 138 and Haydenville 111.
Contrary to springtime registration and reasonable expectations the high school showed its first decrease in enrollment in September, 1939. This is the first drop in enrollment since 1930 and probably indicates that the peak enrollment was reached in 1938, when there were 160 at
55
the opening of school. The 1939 registration was 150 students. Since then through transfers and withdrawals the number has dropped to 147. The school as now con- stituted has 64 from Haydenville, 34 from Williamsburg, 20 from Chesterfield, 10 from Goshen, 7 from Worthing- ton, 2 from Whately, 2 from Conway, 5 State Wards, and 3 Boston Wards.
High school athletics flourished again this year and the school had reason to be proud of its teams. In basket- ball the team was successful in winning the championship of the Franklin League, but not until it had defeated an excellent team from Charlemont in a playoff after both teams were tied for first place. The baseball team en- joyed one of its best seasons, winning games from such fine teams as Smith Academy and Hopkins. Soccer was started in the fall and the team although in the process of learning the game showed much promise. It is ex- pected that next September will put this team in good shape.
In addition to the activities in athletics the high school joined the Hampshire Debating League. This league promotes work in debating with the purpose of training in public speaking as well as the study of prob- lems of national interest. Points won in these debates are used toward securing the key awarded by the National Forensic League. The schools in the league are; Am- herst, South Hadley, Hopkins, Northampton, and Wil- liamsburg.
During the past year the high school has begun a school paper called "The Spectator." This undertaking has what may be called a two-fold purpose. First, it furnishes news, and accounts of school affairs and activi- ties, and, secondly, it gives training in writing and report- ing to many of our students. All of the work, the typing, the duplicating, and composition is done by students of the school.
56
Beginning in September, 1939, one hundred and sixty- two children were being transported to school each day in this town. The routes and numbers carried are as fol- lows: Mountain Street to Haydenville, 21; Haydenville to Williamsburg, 72; South Street, 9; Nash Street, 21; Sears- ville and North Street, 25; Chesterfield Road, 14. Of these, 89 are transported to high school and 73 to the grade schools. Other towns send in 37 to the high school every day. All buses have been operated safely and on schedule. The operators deserve commendation for the fine way in which this work has been done.
In order to complete the planned offerings in the high school, two new studies were added to the program at the epening of school. Bookkeeping was begun in the com- mercial course and problems in democracy in the social science group. Some changes in teaching assignments were made so that teachers might, in so far as possible, have subjects belonging to one field to teach. The com- plete assignments follow: Principal, Anne T. Dunphy, three classes in Latin; Mrs. R. A. Warner, four classes in mathematics, one in U. S. History, one in Problems of Democracy ; Mr. Edward C. Foster, five classes in science, one in World Geography; Miss Mary T. Walsh, four in English ,one in Spoken English, debating, assembly pro- grams ; Mr. Philip Melody, two in English, three in French, one in World History, director of athletics; Miss Lilian Curran, four in typing, one in bookkeeping, one in Junior Business; Mr. John Moran, two in high school music, supervisor of music in the grades. There are seven periods in the high school day which is divided into two sessions.
The grade assignments at Williamsburg were: Mrs. Edward Foster, grades seven and eight ; Miss Nellie Dolan, grades five and six; Mrs. Jane Scully, grades three and four; Mrs. Sophie Eaton, grades one and two.
The organization at Haydenville was : Principal, Miss Margaret Trainor, grade eight; Mrs. Marion Hickey, grade
57
seven ; Miss Alice Dansereau, grades five and six ; Miss Anastasia Kostek, grades three and four; and Miss Mary Crampton, grades one and two.
Recently through the Hyde-Sanders Trustees, in- struction in drawing has been begun at the Haydenville School. Miss Mary Burr, supervisor of art at Worthing- ton, has been secured to do this work. This is an import- ant addition to the offerings at the school and a delight to the children.
Our teachers are all trained teachers and are gradu- ates of normal schools, teachers' colleges, or liberal arts colleges. It is through the efficient performance of the duties assigned to them that the high standards of our schools are maintained. Their fine work is appreciated.
The health services for the children have been given by our school physicians, Dr. Charles Wheeler and Dr. Joseph Hobbs, and by our school nurses, Mrs. Cressa Campbell and Mrs. John Jones. Dr. Joseph Kisiel of Springfield has served as our school dentist. The general health of the pupils has been good, but not enough use has been made of the dental service. Good teeth which are so essential to health can be kept only by constant care. It is hoped that more parents will have all necessary work on their children's teeth done when the dentist is here.
The question of raising the entering age for grade one to six years was discussed last year but no action was taken on this question. It has been discovered by tests that the average child is not ready to begin reading work before this age and as a consequence some fail to complete the first grade. This is a social loss to the child and an economic loss to the taxpayers because the work has to be done over again. Therefore, it would seem advisable to raise the age to six years as a requiremnt for entrance to grade one.
The needs of the schools are several. In the first place the high school needs a suitable gymnasium where
58
a adequate program of physical education can be carried on. The remodled building at Haydenville with its at- tractive Colonial front should be painted this year. There is also redecorating to be done in the old part of the Helen E. James building, which was not done when the Spellman addition was built. Tables and chairs should be provided for the lunch rooms in both schools in order to care for the one hundred ninety children who bring lunches. Some financial support for athletics should be given by the school department so that students who play on our teams may have suitable and safe equipment. The commercial room also needs two typewriters to complete its plan of fifteen places. Each year more pupils register for typing than can be cared for. Furniture for the teachers' room and principal's office at Haydenville would complete the furnishings of that building. These are not all of our needs but are those most pressing at the time. It is de- sirable that as many as possible be met this coming year.
Recommendations :
1. Paint Haydenville building.
2. Redecorate the interior of the old part of the Helen E. James building.
3. Install more girls' toilets at Williamsburg.
4. Provide tables and chairs for the lunch room.
5. Give financial aid to athletics.
6. Buy two typewriters.
7. Provide furniture for teachers' room and prin- cipals office at Haydenville.
8. Raise school entering age to six years.
9. Employ a drawing supervisor in the Helen E. James School.
My sincerest thanks and deepest appreciation are ex- tended to all who have worked with me during 1939.

Report of Town Physicians
Mr. L. A. Merritt, Superintendent of Schools, Williamsburg, Mass.
Dear Sir:
I have the pleasure of submitting my annual report as school physician of the Williamsburg Center School.
A diphtheria immunization clinic was held in the late spring of this year, at which time more than 20 children were immunized. Most of these were of pre-school age but a few, of school age, who had not previously been innocu- lated were included.
The town has been very free from epidemic conta- gious diseases this past year, except for isolated cases of measles, chicken pox and whooping cough, which were apparently contracted elsewhere. We hope that the com- mon contagious diseases continue to appear in such isolat- ed cases.
The usual examinations of children at the Center School were performed in October, with the assistance of Mrs. John O. Jones, the school nurse. As a whole the students were in good health ,although some cards of notification were distributed.
The boys expecting to play soccer or basketball and the girls going out for basketball were seen separately and a few advised not to participate this year.

Mr. L. A. Merritt,
Superintendent of Schools,
Williamsburg, Mass.
Dear Sir:
I herewith submit my annual report as School Physi- cian.
Examination of the school children of Haydenville, with the assistance of Nurse, Louise Jones, was made in September at the opening of the school year as usual, with the discovery of a limited number of defects requiring im- mediate attention. A cursory examination of the lungs and heart of the children was made. X-rays of the lungs were suggested in a few cases, which was done at the Hampshire County Sanatorium, with the result of elimi- nating some cases while a few others were followed up. Little emphasis is put on slight defects of heart or heart action in children as most are corrected during growth and adolescence so need no special treatment.
Through the teaching of our nurses and teachers the posture of many pupils has been definitely improved. However much remains to be done to obtain that outstand- ing soldierly carriage and walk which is so seldom seen in the average citizen. The children as a whole give one the impression of being a healthy, well nourished, happy group in contrast to pictures of children of other countries which we see at this present time of conflict.
