Harvard University Scholarship


After I had been living in Lincoln for a year or so, somebody informed me there was a scholarship in Harvard for boys living in Lincoln. I could find no reference made in the Town records within recent years, nor did the citi- zens know the exact details pertaining to this scholarship.


For a matter of record, I took the matter up with the Dean of Harvard College. I am informed that the Lin- coln Scholarship, established in 1876 by Miss Lavina Hoar, is given by preference to students from Lincoln, but, in default of such, goes to someone else. The present income furnishes an annual scholarship of $400. Application should be made to the Dean of Harvard College.


With such a scholarship accessible, Lincoln students should take every advantage of securing a college edu- cation.


Finances


By turning back approximately $500 of its annual appro- priation, the School Department has again proved to the citizens that it does not expend any more money than is absolutely necessary for the proper maintenance of educa- tion.


Although the total is approximately $2,000 more than last year, the itemized account shows that the Town had to pay $1,400 more this year for high and vocational school tuition and transportation than it did in 1927. These fig- ures actually prove what we endeavored to show at the annual Town meeting last March.


139


In previous years, the Selectmen had paid for all major school repairs out of miscellaneous expenses, but this year the school department has paid for all repairs out of its own appropriation. This accounts for the increase of the repair item.


On account of so many changes in the teaching force, the salaries item has been reduced somewhat, instead of increasing. It is because of this fact that we did not have to use the entire amount appropriated.


Recommendations


Many changes have occurred and many improvements have been made during the past five years. There are, however, three major recommendations I wish to make for improving the Lincoln schools.


First: At the bottom of both basement stairways in the Center School there should be iron grating doors sepa- rating the basement from the school rooms. These would permit the barge pupils to go into the building before school in the morning without allowing them to run all over the building. Likewise, during the Summer the toilets and basements could be used for baseball games and cele- brations without letting everybody throughout the build- ing. I am happy to announce that the School Committee has recently voted the necessary amount to have this im- provement made.


Second: More playground equipment is necessary at both schools. That at the South School is very inadequate for the number of pupils attending the school. The wooden swings at the Center School should be replaced by gal- vanized iron supports as some of the former are showing signs of rotting. The equipment at this school is also inadequate, especially since the giant stride pole rotted off


140


about a year ago. I would recommend a so-called out- door gymnasium set, which includes a horizontal bar, a trapeze and other apparatus in addition to the swings.


Third: Definite plans should be made to put electric lights in the Center School in the near future. Many citi- zens have been greatly surprised to learn that the build- ing has no lights in any of the class rooms, upper corridor or toilets. The Superintendent's office, teachers' room, lower corridor and boiler room are the only parts of the building equipped with electricity.


A school house is a community building and might well be used for small gatherings in the evening, if the building were lighted. It is kept well heated during the week and could be used for small groups instead of attempting to heat the Town Hall.


Conclusion


A I depart from Lincoln at the end of six years as your principal and superintendent, I wish to heartily thank the School Committee, teachers and parents for the coopera- tion and courtesies extended to me during those years, thereby endeavoring to make my administration a success. We have always had the welfare of the children at heart and have attempted to do the most good for the greatest number. Long after our name may be forgotten by those with whom we have come in contact, we hope that some small seeds planted in the plastic minds of youth may be nurtured into fruition in manhood and womanhood.


In the years to come I shall indeed cherish with fond memories my association and experiences with the many pupils, parents and citizens of Lincoln.


Respectfully submitted, CHARLES M. ROBINSON,


Superintendent of Schools.
