Minor subjects in Lincoln are called "minor" only because they do not meet as many times a week as the so- called "major" subjects. However, their importance in the completion of a well rounded student is not under- estimated. These areas, too, are exacting great effort through research study and experimentation in improving the effectiveness of the curriculum.


Close contact has been maintained with the Lincoln- Sudbury Regional High School and the Sudbury Junior High School through administrative and departmental meetings.


In conclusion, it can be stated that great progress has been accomplished in the Lincoln schools in bringing about a high quality of education. However, our staff continues its study and research in the areas of curriculum, grouping and scheduling.


PRINCIPAL, HARTWELL SCHOOL


Robert Filbin


Hartwell School opened its doors in September of 1961 with an enrollment of 570 pupils, the largest group of children registered in September in the lower elementary school. For the first time in four years, all children ages five to nine years of age were housed in one central building complex, Hartwell School and its two units. Pre- viously they had been housed alternately in two or three buildings. At best, this latter arrangement was make- shift, and the new housing arrangement has made for more efficient administration and supervision as well as the more effective use of teaching personnel.


Of a teaching staff of twenty-seven, there are only six new teachers this year. ,Five of these are replace- ments for teachers who left in June, and one is a new position to take care of increased enrollment. This repre- sents a relatively small turnover.


The school is now completely non-graded. This is the culmination of three years work which was preceded by dis-


133

cussion on the part of administration and faculty as early as 1957. It is interesting to note that at the time Lin- coln initiated this plan there were fifty non-graded elem- entary schools in the United States. There are now over two hundred such schools, some of them in surrounding communities, and it appears that this represents an im- portant movement in elementary education today. The main objective of the plan is to provide continuous progress for all children in order to insure that each child gets the maximum out of the opportunities offered by the school. It means that as nearly as possible, every child advances at his own rate and is not limited by arbitrarily graded material.


An outgrowth of the non-graded plan has been team teaching. This was inaugurated on a full scale in Septem- ber of 1961. Traditionally, children in the elementary school have been assigned one teacher each year who taught them all subjects. In the team teaching plan, a child may have two or three teachers during the course of the day and the week. One of these would teach reading, writing and spelling, another math and science, and another history and geography. Art, music and physical education


This means that children are taught by special teachers. are benefitting from expert teaching which has been care- fully planned. This eliminates one teacher planning lessons for at least eight different subjects every day. Teachers now have as little as three preparations which means they can be more thorough in their planning. Those who have particular strengths in special subjects can now utilize their knowledge more effectively.


Each team of teachers is headed by one person who is called a. team leader, who coordinates all instruction. All teaching teams meet daily after school to discuss their work and plan future assignments. Block scheduling throughout the school makes for more effective instruction. For example, all reading is taught at the same time. This means that there are at least twenty-four or five levels of reading instruction going on at the same time. By this arrangement when a child is ready for a more ad- vanced group, he can move into that group without any problem due to the fact that all children are having read- ing instruction at the same time. This relates to other subjects as well. A similar program has been operating in the Lexington, Mass. public schools for at least four years under the auspices of the School and University Pro- gram for Research and Development.

Another extension of services this year is a full time physical education program for the children in Hartwell School under the direction of Mrs. Lorraine Torode. This contributes greatly to the physical development and growth of the children.


In addition to regular physical education classes, after school sports are being offered to boys and girls in the nine year old group two afternoons a week. The children have been enthusiastic about this idea and there has been a 75% turnout. Each group of children has elected four captains who have picked their own teams and games. There is weekly competition between teams in the various games.


Appropriate shelving has been provided this year to make possible a school library in the large lower lobby of the school. This has been serviced by Mrs. Jones, school librarian, and a corps of volunteer mothers. Their services have been invaluable in providing library ser- vices to the teachers and children of Hartwell School. Weekly circulation of books has been approximately 650 volumes. It is hoped that additional books will provide a wider variety of books for circulation and references.


Educational television programs are being used to supplement regular instruction in the areas of science, literature, foreign languages (French) and music. These make possible enriching experiences for the children in these subjects.


Added to the school equipment this year has been an overhead projector. With this machine, a teacher may face her class, write on a transparent film and the image is projected on a large screen. This is an invaluable aid in the large group instruction activities of team teaching. It means that a group of a hundred children can be taught effectively by one teacher with the aid of this equipment.


The art and music programs have developed extensively this past year under the capable direction of Miss Barbara Bennett. One innovation has been a daily music apprecia- tion program. There is five minutes of listening each day with oral or bulletin program notes broadcast over the "intercom" to the various classrooms. As a part of this program, children hear and discuss the Adventures in Music selections and are encouraged to attend the excellent con- certs provided by A. I.M. More extensive use of the ser- vices of DeCordova Museum have been made. In addition to


135


LINCOLN SCHOOLS


the loan of original paintings to the school, there have been regular class visits to the museum's exhibitions.


With the increased enrollments of the past few years and only one person handling music and art for the 570 pupils in the Hartwell School, it is hoped that an addi- tional person will be made available in the near future to provide more adequate coverage of the school situation.


PRINCIPAL, HANSCOM SCHOOL


Robert A. Leach


A continuing growth of student body, staff, and facilities has characterized the past year of operation at the Hanscom School. Our present enrollment of 535 children reflects a gain of over 100 students since the opening of our school in September, 1959. This increase is an interesting statistic inasmuch as the family units in the base housing area have not increased during this period, except for a few additions in the Base Trailer Park. To meet this growth, our staff on opening day this September consisted of 29 classroom and 6 special teachers. This instructional staff has been augmented by student teachers from Wheelock, Lowell State, and the University of Massachusetts. The physical plant has been expanded during the past year by the addition of another four-room cluster.


From an educational standpoint, this growth has had a very favorable effect on the type of program that we are providing for our children. We are now able to carry out a non-graded approach in the areas of reading and arith- metic for our six to eleven year-old children, with our enlarged staff and more sections of children in the same age groups. Using the curriculum guides developed for the Lincoln schools by our summer school group, our teach- ers work with the children at fifteen levels of instruction in reading and arithmetic embracing the traditional one through five grade content. Teams of four teachers, un- der the immediate direction of a team, or cluster, chair- man, provide the learning experiences for eighty or more children in each cluster of four classrooms. The great diversity of educational experiences that our Hanscom children have when they enroll in any given grade, makes the flexibility of this level approach a very worthwhile


136


SCHOOLS, LIBRARY AND RECREATION


thing, in addition to allowing children to move at their individual learning rates during the time that they are with us.


The junior high segment of our school has benefited this year by the equipping of the science room with lab tables and additional scientific equipment so that it now operates as a science room exclusively, rather than a com- bination science room and general classroom.


The junior high class schedules have been reorganized this year to allow for heterogeneous grouping in home rooms and subject matter grouping in the areas of math- science, English and history. Course content in the major subject areas adheres closely to that offered at Smith School, with joint participation by the staffs of both schools in formulating course objectives. A close liaison with Concord-Carlisle Regional High has been maintained this year with several conferences being held between Han- scom teachers and the ninth grade staff members of the high school. At this writing Hanscom has placed an excellent percentage of former students in the advanced English and math sections at Concord-Carlisle Regional High.


Ground is soon to be broken for another addition to Hanscom School in anticipation of an expected enrollment of 570 children next fall. The addition will consist of an instructional area equivalent to four classrooms, with folding partitions, a new and enlarged library, and an art room. This unit, with its built-in flexibility for large and small group instruction, teacher preparation spaces and enlarged special facilities, will provide an excellent area for our team-teaching activities.


As Hanscom School grows and develops as an integral part of the Lincoln School System, the mutual benefits accruing to both our school and the system become in- creasingly evident to those who are directly concerned. The professional talents of our staff have served as an additional resource in helping formulate the system's educational programs. A sharing of facilities such as scientific apparatus, audio-visual aids, and health room equipment has aided all schools in carrying out their pro- grams. Perhaps most important has been the providing of an opportunity for Hanscom and Lincoln children to partici- pate in and enjoy together many social and educational activities. Finally, Hanscom's identification with the Lincoln School System has carried the word. of the superior educational opportunities offered by our system far afield

by means of our Air Force families transferred to other duty stations. We have many letters to attest to this.


In conclusion, the past year at Hanscom has been one of progress and development. We look forward with antici- pation and interest to further growth in the forthcoming year .


SCHOOL NURSE


Alice E. Garrison, R. N.


Schools have been visited daily, Children absent for four or more days have been checked by phone if the parent has not already notified the school of the reason for absence.


Children entering school, and every three years there- after, have had the state required physical examination completed, the great majority by their own family doctor. Thirteen pre-school examinations were done by Dr. Davies at the Well Child Conference. Dr. John Sisson, the school doctor, examined eighteen eight year olds and fifteen eleven year olds later in the year.


In September all children were weighed and measured with the assistance of Mrs. Iosue, Mrs. Torode, and Mr. Reed.


During October school wide dental screening was done by Dr. Tingey, our school dentist. A notice was sent to all parents of children requiring dental care and offering parents the facilities of the dental clinic. Fifty children are patients at the dental clinic this year. An excellent film on dental health was shown to all children in Center and Smith Schools.


In January the annual group hearing testing was done by trained volunteers. All failures were retested in- dividually by the school nurse. There were fourteen failures which were discussed with parents and referred for medical followup.


In February and March the annual vision screening was done, also by volunteers trained by the Department of Pub- lic Health. There were fifty-six vision failures. Par- ents were notified and advised to have their children seen


138


SCHOOLS, LIBRARY AND RECREATION


by an eye specialist. A further followup is done on these children at the beginning of school, and parents have been most cooperative.


A movie entitled "You're a Young Lady Now!" was shown to girls in the Smith School and their mothers.


Mrs. Iosue, physical education instructor, has been running an excellent posture program for sixth, seventh, and eighth grade girls, and results can be seen in the improved walking and sitting postures in classrooms and halls of the Smith School.


As part of the overall health program, Miss Mary Kearney of the Walden Clinic has been available as ad- visor to the teaching staff. She has seen teachers in individual consultations and at group meetings, and at- tends classes for the purpose of observing individual children with emotional and behavior problems. Miss Kearney is at the Lincoln Schools and Hanscom School on alternating Thursdays.


In the spring of 1961 the series of lectures which I had been attending at the Metropolitan State Hospital was concluded. These lectures on the treatment of mental and emotional illness, from the standpoint of the public health nurse, were extremely interesting and instructive. In the fall of 1961 I attended a series of lectures given for public health nurses at the Middlesex Tuberculosis Sanatorium. These lectures dealt with the new concepts of community tuberculosis control with the eventual goal of eradicating this disease in the United States. As part of this effort, tuberculin testing in the Lincoln Schools will begin in 1962 and will become a part of our annual health program.


Again this year I wish to thank my faithful and able volunteers: Mrs. Stanley Tead, who works at Hartwell School three mornings a week and keeps the medical files in order and takes care of the bills for the dental clinic, Mrs. Gordon Donaldson, Mrs. Stuart Avery, Mrs. David Ammen, and Mrs. Jay Kopp, who help with the vision and hearing programs, and Mrs. Robert Meyer and Mrs. Warren Carstensen, who assist at the Well Child Conference.

"School population explosion" continues to be our most difficult problem. When the Regional District was estab- lished in 1954, each of the towns had about the same num- ber of high school students (Lincoln-94, Sudbury-105). In 1956 the Regional High School opened its doors with anĀ· en- rollment of 247 students (Lincoln-64, Sudbury-182, tuition- 1). In addition, Lincoln had 47 students in grades 11 Today, and 12 attending Concord and Weston High Schools. just six years later, Lincoln sends 227 students to the Regional and Sudbury 498 for a total of 725. In 1953 the original Regionalization Committee projected an enroll- ment of 526 for 1962, some 200 less than our actual 1961


enrollment. Clearly, this early prediction effort fell short because no consideration could be given to the un- known town growth. This same difficulty of growth pre- diction affects our yearly operation since our budget is required a year in advance. For example, each year the pupil growth has exceeded the projection of entering and leaving students. Our past experience indicated that


this year we should allow for additional students moving into the towns; however, when school opened in September the extra students were not there. In fact, the student body fell 72 short of the prediction and thus our plans for the year were not perfect. We aim to have the largest classes contain about 25 students and the high school oper- ate with a pupil-teacher ratio of about 15.5 which is the average for high schools in towns around us. This year we fell short of this goal.


While the original enrollment forecast did not con- template an addition to the high school building until the late 60's, we actually opened the $1,000,000 addition this fall.

a few items might be noted. The library is now complete and is constantly utilized for study and reference work by both students and staff. A large lecture room for 80 students is permitting the initial experimentation for large group instruction. The industrial arts shop has moved out of the end of the gymnasium into its own area thereby making the entire gymnasium available for the ath- letic program. The gymnasium may be used as a whole for interscholastic basketball, or in halves for intramurals, or in quarters for the regular physical education program. The science wing is complete with the addition of four new classroom laboratories and a small greenhouse.
