REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE


The 25 failing marks of "D" were received by 11 pupils. Fifteen of these were received by 3 pupils, 2 of whom withdrew from school before completion of the high school course. Nineteen of the 25 failing marks were given to 5 pupils, 3 of whom withdrew from school. There is the record and such facts must make abundantly clear that high school failure is confined to a few pupils who because of the choice of a course which is too difficult for that pupil's ability, or because of interests outside of school which preclude proper attention to the work of the school, are doomed to school failure before they start. Such conditions are not within the province of any school, any teacher, or any Superintendent. The responsi- bility for such conditions rests squarely upon the pupil con- cerned and the parents of that pupil.


On the credit side it is to be noted that 44% of the final marks of the pupils studied were of "A" or "B" grade which I believe is an exceptionally good record. That these pupils applied themselves to the work of the school is a foregone conclusion. In no other way could they have made such an excellent record. They must have done the home assign- ments given them; they must have participated in the work of the class; they must have done the reading required of them.


Twenty-one of the 34 pupils studied have never received a final mark lower than "C", and 3 pupils have never received a final mark lower than "B" in high school.


In January, 1935, I made a study of the marks received by Lincoln pupils then attending Concord High School. This study was sent to the parents of all pupils then in school. For the purpose of a further comparison I am giving here briefly the results found then. January is generally conceded to be the low point of the school year for marks and for that reason the record is of particular significance.

You will note that 89.66% - practically 90% - of these marks were in the first three brackets and 53% were of "A" or "B" grade.


At the same time the distribution of marks received by Lincoln pupils taking college and scientific preparatory courses was sent to parents. This record shows that 61% of the marks given to these pupils in January, 1935, the low point of the year, were of certificate grade, that is, "A" or "B", and that 94% were "C" or better. For your informa- tion that table is given below.

Lest the table showing marks received by our pupils in January, 1935, be thought of as too much on the good side and not affording a trustworthy record let me present for comparison the marks received by our pupils in January, 1936.

Remember that the same pupils were not in all instances included in these two sets of marks as of January as some pupils had graduated the previous June and others had entered in September. You will note that 95.86% - practically 96% - of the total marks are of "C" grade or better, and that 59.3% are of "B" grade or better. A somewhat better record than the preceding year.


May I ask you again to remember that in no instance in any chart presented above have marks for Physical Education

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE


and Music been used. Neither has the mark of any pupil been included who did not graduate from the Lincoln Junior High School. So much for the record.


I have attempted to show in the above discussion that the remarks occasionally made that poor work is done by our pupils in high school are unfounded in fact regardless of the hearsay evidence which is extremely difficult to run to earth. These facts are presented for your consideration, and for the consideration of the people of the Town, in the sincere hope that they will refute the statements sometimes carelessly and thoughtlessly made that pupils leaving the Lincoln Junior High School are not equipped to carry on the work of the senior high school. The preparation of all the pupils studied above was received in the Lincoln Junior High School. That such preparation enabled them to carry on in splendid fashion the work of the senior high school is demonstrated by the facts presented here for any who wish the facts.


Let me remind you again that in studying the charts show- ing the marks received by our pupils in grades 10, 11, and 12, you have spread before you the record of approximately 50% of our pupils who have attended Concord High School dur- ing the past six years. This is no random sampling or choice of special pupils for special study. It includes all Lincoln pupils attending Concord High School from September, 1933, to June, 1935. The final three charts showing marks in January, 1935, and January, 1936, include all Lincoln pupils who graduated from our Junior High School and were at that time attending Concord High School.


The record is, I contend, a remarkably fine one, and one of which we can be proud. Failures, as you have seen, were confined to a few pupils. The great majority of our pupils have been doing, and are now doing, good work in high school.


This report would not be complete without an acknowledg- ment of my indebtedness to your Committee for helpful advice and counsel which has been freely given. I am grateful for your co-operation.


Respectfully submitted,


CARL F. HOLLORAN, Superintendent of Schools.

WARRANT


REPORT OF SCHOOL NURSE


To the School Committee of Lincoln:


A report of school nursing for the year ending December 31, 1935, is hereby submitted.


Schools have been visited daily. There have been 422 office calls for advice; 119 pupils have been taken home from school on account of illness; 207 home visits made to check on absent pupils, and 28 visits with pupils to the doctor's office or hospital clinics.


I assisted Doctor Wood with the yearly physical examination of each pupil, and weighed and measured each pupil four times during the year. Scalps were examined frequently. Throats were examined whenever the need arose. Notice of any defect was sent to the parents.


The Diphtheria Prevention Clinic was held in April and November and was attended by 26 pre-school children, 22 school children, and 4 teachers.


In May the annual Summer-Round-Up was held. At that time 28 pre-school children were weighed and measured, and given a physical examination by Doctor Wood. Defects found were corrected by family physicians during the summer.


The Lincoln Dental Clinic Committee, Mrs. Robert Loring, Chairman, conducted a Dental Clinic two mornings each week with Dr. William Cosgrove of Lexington as dentist.


The Lincoln Red Cross has been most generous in providing for the dental work on many children. The Lincoln Tubercu- losis Committee has provided eye glasses for a few pupils.


Respectfully submitted with a sincere appreciation of the co-operation and help given by Mr. Holloran, the teachers, and parents.
