Report of Superintendent


To the School Committee of Duxbury :


As Superintendent of Schools, I herewith submit for your consideration, my ninth annual report.


In my report for the year 1934 I called to your atten- tion the need of considering an upward revision of teachers' salaries. As I review the events of the past year I am more firmly convinced that the most serious problem confronting us today is that of making the teach- ing positions in Duxbury sufficiently attractive to hold permanently a larger percentage of the talent now em- ployed in our schools. During the year 1935 one teacher resigned because of marriage, one to enter business, and two to continue teaching in other communities. Two other teachers were offered very attractive positions in larger towns, but chose to remain in Duxbury until the end of the school year. This represents an annual turnover of twenty-five per cent of the teaching force. It cannot con- tinue without leaving our school system seriously handi- capped. No single remedy will relieve the situation com- pletely, and many of the factors involved are quite beyond our control, but I believe most sincerely that a revision of salaries would help most in retaining the services of the better trained and more skillful teachers.


ACADEMIC


The academic work through the elementary grades, the Junior High School, and Senior High School has pro- gressed with very little change during the past calendar year. I am happy to be able to inform you that the mem- bers of the senior class of 1935 who are continuing in


- 166


school are doing good work. Our High School has an A rating with the State Department of Education, and the New England College Entrance Certificate Board allows us the certificating privilege to all colleges under its con- trol. In concrete terms, this privilege means that any col- lege controlled by the above group will accept, without en- trance examination, a graduate from our high school who stands in the upper quarter of his class and whose aver- age marks in any subject during the four years of high school have been "B" or better.


May I call especially to your attention the list of pupils who were perfect in attendance during the school year ending in June. In spite of the long period of frigid weather which occurred last winter the number of names on this list increased more than 100% over the previous year. Paralleling this, the general attendance improved from slightly more than 92% in 1933-34 to nearly 95% in 1934-35.


There were two important reasons for the introduc- tion of an extensive course in English reading to replace the traditional intensive method. Instead of developing a worthy reading habit, the book report assignment in out- side reading was cultivating dishonesty and a tendency to "get by" with as little work as possible.


Then, too, book reports were defeating their own pur- pose-that of arousing a vital interest in wide reading. Outside reading was becoming a burden not a pleasure, an assigned task not a voluntary activity.


But to keep abreast of the times today we must read and read widely. No longer is a reading knowledge of Shakespeare and Milton alone necessary, but a knowledge of modern politics, economics, science, and religion as well. For this reason a school child must learn how to read fast and discriminately.


-167


Extensive reading provides the most adequate way to develop this åbility. Briefly, it means the reading of twice as many school books and the elimination of book reports. The best of the classics and the best in modern literature is read. A study of the difficulty levels of the classes made at Columbia University is used as a guide in assigning classics to the groups able to understand them. The new books are also selected from the point of view of compre- hension difficulty, as well as interest and the contribution they will make to the vicarious experience of the pupils.


In March, under the auspices of the F. E. R. A., a pro- ject in adult education was started. Mr. John MacFarlane was selected as instructor for this group and through quiet, friendly efficiency, soon organized an enthusiastic Hobby Class. In the fall, this class continued with the same instructor under the W. P. A. and we are promised that it will continue until June.


The N. Y. A. became a reality in the early part of November and through it two high school pupils have been enabled to earn enough money to pay for their noon- day lunches. These projects will continue for the remain- der of the school year.


PHYSICAL EDUCATION


Although knowing full well the advantages which could be derived from a properly organized program of phys- ical education, we felt there has been very little we could do in Duxbury because the limited number of children made such a program prohibitively expensive at a time when the whole world was feeling the pinch of depres- sion. An unusual opportunity now presents itself through which we may, with a very small outlay of money, put on an experimental program to determine whether such ac- tivities are feasible as a permanent part of our educa- tional system. Mr. Ralph Blakeman, Congress Street,


...


-- 168 -


Duxbury, has received the academic training in physical education offered by Boston University. He feels that suc- cessful practical experience is a prerequisite to receiving a position in his chosen field and has asked for the oppor- tunity to prove his worth through a demonstration in his home town during the last half of the school year. Boston University is very much interested in the project and has offered to lend the equipment necessary for making the experiment thorough and complete. The work will ac- tually start early in February.


ACTIVITIES


Mckown says, in his book Extra Curricular Ac- tivities, "The main purpose of education is to make good citizens. The good citizen is an individual who not only has knowledge, ideals, and attitudes, but who also has worthy habits. The regular work of the school offers comparatively few opportunities for the development of desirable social ideals and habits. It is concerned mostly with knowledge. The extra-cur- ricular activities offer many such opportunities. The main purpose of these activities is to give the student opportunities for practice in social relationships. Extra curricular activities must be built on the broad principle that the school is a laboratory for citizen- ship. These activities are important and should be re- cognized as a legitimate part of the school life and work."


Through the school newspaper there is training in English composition and grammar, in poetry, prose, ad- vertising, news reporting, editorial writing, and business management. The cuts and headings are drawn and carved from linoleum blocks by the pupils themselves. Setting the type and running the printing presses gives an opportunity for manual activity, and the whole pro-


-- 169 -


ject develops sterling character traits of cooperation, teamplay, dependability, and puncuality. The senior play calls forth similar characteristics except that stage pres- ence and good diction may be substituted for composition and grammar. I believe that the manner in which Adam and Eva was presented last December convinced every one fortunate enough to be in the audience that something worth while was being accomplished.


Operettas merely add music and rhythm to the quali- ties developed by a play. The China Shop was presented by the High School group and the children of Tarkiln gave The Old Man of the Mountain.


Although every effort is made to avoid the evils of over- emphasis, athletics have played the same important role in the life of our school community as in former years. Teams in baskeball and baseball have played in contests with neighboring schools. In these games we constantly strive to encourage good sportsmanship among the spec- tators as well as the players.


Each class in the High School and each club is allowed to give one dance during the year. At least one month must elapse between dances. These social affairs are strictly private and except for the parents and children of the school, everyone is required to show a written invita- tion. The dances are always chaperoned by a group of teachers and parents, and anything objectionable is promptly attended to.


REPAIRS


The exterior of each elementary school was either painted or stained, during the summer months, by workers from the E. R. A. This work was very carefully done and saved the school department several hundred dollars. The painting of the rear part of the high school building was of such a nature that special equipment was


-170-


needed and the work was let out to contract. During the Christmas vacation the inside walls of the Tarkiln School rooms were murescoed and the lavatories were given one coat of paint. At the Village School lavatories and cor- ridors were repainted, and every regular class room in the High School building was given two coats of paint.


There remains to be done in the immediate future, the painting of the manual training room, the lunch room, the kitchen, the auditorium, and the offices at the High School.


We continued to work on the cupola at the High School, and now feel confidently certain that all leaks which ex- isted there have been permanently stopped. On the north end of the building extensive repairs were made, and while we have been unable to stop all the water from com- ing through the walls of the building, we have arranged to carry off the seepage without injury to the inner walls. I believe there is little more that can be done to correct this weakness without expending a sum of money con- siderably out of proportion to the benefits we would reap.


The only work at the Village School besides staining, painting, and some minor repairs, was the laying of an asphalt floor in the basement play room. The room had a very rough cement surface and was not only very dusty when the children played on it, but was also the cause of many a skinned knee. The asphalt has corrected both con- ditions. There is a tendency for water to seep through the south wall of the basement of this building during heavy rains. If the condition tends to become worse, I am afraid it will require a rather expensive repair job. Here, too, the floors in the class rooms will need attention before long. Continual tramping of little feet has worn the pres- ent boards to less than a third their original thickness.


At the Point School no repairs, in addition to the paint- ing, have been necessary. A new floor in the classroom of


-171 -


this building must receive serious consideration within the next few years.


Some repairs were necessary on the gutters at Tarkiln School in order that the painting might be done properly. New platforms at the front and new steps at the rear of the building were necessary for the safety of the pupils. Some repairs were made on the pump motor and the motor which operates the ventilating fan. The south roof of the building is still in very poor condition. No signs of leak- age are yet in evidence, but the shingles can hardly be expected to stand through another winter.


A W. P. A. project now under way is employing a group of ten men to pull up trees and stumps and grade an area large enough for a baseball field at the southeast corner of the lot at Tarkiln. This project, if carried through to completion, should make a very fine commun- ity playground for the people of that section of the town.


CONCLUSION


In conclusion, may I quote from an editorial in the Boston Sunday Post on February 2, 1936, relative to the burden of taxation facing America today ?


"The lawgivers can see no other way to prevent an insurrection at the polls but to hurl the tax bill as far down the corridor of the future as possible.


"Beyond the generation now living, beyond the grave itself, the bill will be pushed, if possible, so that millions of citizens yet unborn will have more to worry about than we.


"This is a sly joke on future America. But who cares for our children and our children's children ? Let them pay the bills! Let them struggle! Give them less food to eat and less milk to drink, less clothes to


- 172 -


wear, and poorer houses to live in! They can't com- plain now for they're not around."


I am sure the people of Duxbury are not callous to the extent implied by this editorial; but, neverthless, by the end of the school year the debt of our national government will amount to nearly $35,000,000,000. This huge amount cannot be raised by one generation, and our boys and girls must bear their proportionate share of a burden from which they have reaped very little benefit. Can we hand on to them this responsibility without at least offering them the very best training for the task ahead? Educa- tion is the one hope.


For the coming year I believe our first consideration should be to find some means whereby we may retain the young teachers for a longer period of time. Extensive re- pairs on the smaller schools are destined to be a necessity as long as we occupy these old buildings. The limitations imposed upon the teachers and pupils housed in these quarters should also be held in mind and as soon as the town is able to bear the extra financial burden, plans for a new elementary school building should be inaugurated.


The amount of money expended in 1935 was $45,303.92. This sum will be sufficient to continue our work through 1936 without curtailment of any part of the program. I, therefore, recommend that the school committee ask the citizens of Duxbury to vote approval of an appropriation of $45,000 and application of the dog tax to school use.


Respectfully submitted,


GEORGE E. GREEN.

Report of Music Supervisor


The goal of music instruction in public schools should be the unfolding of the beauty of music in all its manifes- tations. The first step in this program is to have children gain this conception and love for music in acquiring for themselves a beautiful singing tone. They are then able to recognize and appreciate beauty in tone when they hear it. It has been the object of the supervisor and the teachers to strive intelligently to secure in all cases a lovely sing- ing tone.


Another aim in the work is to broaden the pupils' ex- perience in music through which they may make music function in all phases of their lives both in and out of school. If these plans are carefully and successfully carried out, the children are easily interested in working for a knowledge of the theory of music, and in learning to read and interpret songs for themselves.


These are some of the points accomplished in the Dux- bury Schools through the cooperation of all the teachers. Music Appreciation programs have been carried out this year quite extensively in several grades through listening lessons afforded by the radio and victrola.


The High School chorus is large this year, and an ex- cellent program of songs is being learned, from which will be selected the graduation music. The Junior High School will give an operetta in April in which unusual talent is being developed. Operettas will also be presented by the pupils of the Center School and the Primary School at the Point.

Report of the Drawing Supervisor


To Mr. George E. Green, Supt.


The advanced class from the upper grades where draw- ing is elective, is the largest and most competent class in drawing we have had thus far, and some very unusual work in pastels and charcoal is now well under way. The reason for thinking this year's results are better is that the subjects attempted are more difficult, portrait and landscape work offering more obstacles for successful achievement in color and form, and while each year's work seems better to me than that of the previous year, I firmly believe that this year's results will establish a record for color harmony and good drawing. Also the fifth, sixth, and seventh grades are well along in their work, with a few exceptions, and one cannot say too much in favor of the excellent working conditions that prevail in these three rooms with the teachers in charge. The spirit, discipline, and effort are indeed admirable and sincere appreciation is tendered Miss White, Miss Goulart and Miss Downey for their good work to bring about the things we are striving for.


Our work from the second grade to the Senior High grades is exhibited every year at the High School Audi- torium during graduation. The drawings covering both sides of the Auditorium gives some idea of the large amount of work produced. That a great deal of interest and effort is expended upon this showing is apparent to even the casual observer.


-177-


We are making every effort to have the child see, to understand, and remember, which of course is to know. Thanking the School Committee and Mr. Green for their friendly cooperation, I remain,


Respectfully yours, SAMUEL WARNER.

Report of School Physician


George E. Green


Superintendent of Duxbury Schools


Duxbury, Mass.


Dear Sir :


I herewith submit my annual report as school physi- cian for the year 1935 :


The regular examination of the pupils was done by my- self and the school nurse. Physical defects noted were re- ported to the parents in order that they could be corrected. The general health of the students as a whole is excellent, with the exception of teeth. I strongly recommend that a dental clinic be a regular part of the school health pro- gram.


The annual pre-school clinic was held in the spring and the school in cooperation with the P. T. A. held its annual well baby clinic.


Respectfully submitted,


C. H. KING, M. D.

Report of School Nurse


To the Superintendent and the School Board of Duxbury :


As in the previous year, we have been fairly free from epidemics. One student suffered from Scarlet Fever, con- tracted in another town during a school vacation. Fort- unately, it was confined to the one case.


I have accompanied children to the Jordan Hospital, Brockton Hospital, and Children's Hospital in Boston for treatment.


Early in the year the parents of three students were in some trouble which terminated in court. I accompanied these children to court in Plymouth, and there on to the State Child Guardianship where they will be cared for until the parents are released and can give them a proper home and care.


Two students were sent to the Bailey Camp this sum- mer for two months. This was made possible by the sale of Christmas seals by the Duxbury Nurse Association. Both of the children were much benefited by the vacation and training.


We were not able last year to secure the use of the Au- diometer until March, and then we were fortunate to se- cure it early this year. Thus we have had it twice during the year, but once in each school year. Each year the third, seventh, and tenth grades are tested, giving all students an opportunity of being tested three times dur- ing their school life. There were a few children with hear- ing units loss in one ear. The parents of these children were consulted and they are now under treatment.


The Chadwick Clinic finished its work here, and this work will now be carried on by the State and County Sanatoria cooperating with the local and School au- thorities. The sixth, ninth, and eleventh grades (with


-180 -


written consent of their parents) will be given the T. B. tests and X-rayed where necessary. This plan also gives the student the benefit of the tests etc., three times during their school life.


In May the P. T. A. held a well baby clinic here at the High School. I assisted the school physician with the ex- aminations at this clinic.


On May the twenty-eighth the School Board and School Physician held a successful Pre-School Clinic, where all children intending to enter school in September had an opportunity of having a physical examination and vac- cination free of charge, thus giving time for treatments or corrections before the child entered school. We had a full attendance, and it was pleasing to have such good cooperation from the parents.


I wish to thank all who cooperated and assisted in the work, the Town Officials, the Red Cross, the Duxbury Nurse Association, the Sewing Clubs, and others who helped so generously. Many people have given clothing, furniture, and food, and I have placed it where I thought it would do the most good. The School teachers also have been most helpful and cooperative.

Report of The Parent-Teacher Association


Monthly meetings of the Association were held and some were well attended. However, with the beginning of the 1935-36 school year, it became apparent that active co- öperation and general interest were lacking, which caused considerable speculation on the part of the officers of the Association in regard to the need and value of this particular organization in the town of Duxbury. Seeking to ascertain just how people felt, some 125 cards were mailed calling upon the recipients to indicate their will- ingness to support the Association and interest therein. The reply was not too encouraging, if one excepts the re- sponse of the teaching staff.


There are projects that need the help and encourage- ment of an organization such as the Parent Teacher Association. But lacking funds and representative mem- bership it is almost impossible to accomplish even a few of the objects for which it should stand.


If the Duxbury Parent Teacher Association is to be- come a real and healthy influence in this community, it must be supported, not by a few, but by every adult in Duxbury.


F. M. TILESTON, President.
