ANNUAL REPORT
SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
To the School Committee of Berkley:
I have the pleasure of presenting through you to the town and state my fifth annual report. It signifies that another school year has past, successfully, in ways not always definable. The work has been continued along the same general lines as in the past. We think it is effective, from the rank that our children are taking in other schools that they attend. We realize that we are handicapped in several ways; the training of those who speak a foreign tongue at home, the crowded condition of one of our school rooms and the few pupils in some other schools, the low wage paid and because of this the compelling necessity of employing those teachers who are without experience and professional training. Since consolidation of schools has never strongly appealed to the citizens of the town, one road to success, only, is open; namely the strengthening of each individual school. One way is to establish a minimum and maximum standard of salary. If the minimum were made ten dollars per week and the maximum at the end of two years twelve dollars per week, some very desirable teachers might be retained for several years. This also would command the attention of trained and experienced teachers. Since the town has no expensive departments to maintain apart from its roads, the slight increase in appropriation for schools ought to meet with a ready response. There is yet another reason for increasing the efficiency of our schools. At present there is no central graded school that the pupils may attend for a year or two prior to en- tering the city high school. To have pupils enter such a school, whose only training has been in a rural school
5
ANNUAL REPORT
demands excellent teaching. Furthermore it is a sort of a survival of the fittest, inasmuch as some pupils that now fail would enter the high school if they could have more thorough preparation.
As was anticipated, the demands of the Teachers' Retirement Board has led to a slight increase of salary. However, there seems to be more reluctance to raise the wage of the teacher than of the domestic, although thirteen years is the minimum training of the former and frequently absolute ignorance the possession of the latter.
At times the desirability of making rather radical changes in the management of the schools is presented to the superintendent. He always welcomes these sug- gestions with pleasure, because they come from those who are thinking of the welfare of the child. The parent who keeps in close touch with the future of his child is worthy of consideration. Among the suggestions pre- sented are those relating to the different systems of reading, the desirability of admitting children to grade one at both opening of the school in the fall and also at mid- year, the semi-annual promotion that would follow such admission, change of text books of various subjects, whether there should be eight or nine grades, the adop- tion of different vocational subjects, vacation schools, playgrounds and others. Some of these are permissible where schools are closely graded and many pupils are under one roof. But when schools are chiefly or entirely rural and the homes furnish instruction in some of the common duties and these same homes, in their environ- ment and aspirations, are far removed from others that send their children to graded schools, then the problem becomes complex. Under such conditions wisdom appar- ently points to the road that is progressive and yet con- servative. In connection with this whole scheme it must be remembered that we all are creatures of habit and that the school has the child for less than six hours a day for
6
ANNUAL REPORT
one hundred eighty days per year, while the home and the world has him for the remaining time. Furthermore in a large number of the homes a foreign language is spoken and even that not in its purity. Can the public wonder that in many an instance a child of fourteen years scarcely qualifies for an employment certificate? I fear the gravity of this problem is not fully comprehended by those to whom it should appeal with force. At this very hour the nation is made to realize very keenly that it is one thing to give a foreigner a set of naturalization papers and quite another affair to make him an American citizen in truth. The chief work of our schools is to make real American men and women in respect to education and morals. To accomplish this the educational plant must be thoroughly equipped with up-to-date machinery.
Attention is called to the appended reports of the School Physician and Attendance Officer. The cordial sympathy and co-operation of teachers and all school officials have greatly aided us in securing whatever success we may have attained.
Respectfully submitted,
MORTIMER H. BOWMAN,
Superintendent of Schools.

REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN.
Mr. M. H. Bowman, -
Superintendent of Schools:
Dear Sir:
The following is a report of the number of cases found in my annual inspection :
18 Cases of Head Lice. 15 Cases Enlarged Tonsils. 7 Cases Adenoids.
Nearly all of the head lice are in one school and seems too bad that the parents cannot be cleaned up, so that when the children are sent home they can be kept clean.

ANNUAL REPORT
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
To the citizens of Berkley:
Three years ago the town started road improvements under the Small Town Act; since then over four miles of bituminous gravel road has been built. It has cost $12,000.00; of this amount the town contributed $4,500.00, the State $6,000.00, and the County $1,500.00.
The valuation of the town a year ago was $571,277.00, now it is $595,797.00, showing an increase of $24,520.00. We present these facts for your consideration, as to how much of this increase in valuation is due to road improve- ment and as to whether it has been a good proposition for the town.
Your Board called the attention of the County Com- missioners to the poor condition of Berkley and Dighton bridge and also filed a petition and bill in the legislature for a new one. The county employed an expert to examine the bridge and his report condemns same. The bridge has been closed to vehicles with a gross weight, loaded, of more than a ton and all vehicles restricted in speed to not more than five miles an hour while crossing same, temporary repairs will have to be made to make it safe pending the building of a new bridge.
The contract for the lease of our oyster grounds expires in 1918; if the State Board of Health enforce their order to take the sewage out of the river, there is a possibility that the grounds may become valuable again.
As Overseers of the Poor we report that the town brought suit and will probably recover $624.00 the amount expended on one case this year, the court has decided in the town's favor.
