REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the Citizens of the Town of Berkley:
To the School Board :
It is a pleasure to present to you my first annual report on the condition of your schools.
School Enrollment
The accompanying table shows the distribution of the pupils in the various schools by grades. It clearly shows that three schools are so small that they are not economi- cally run at the present time. The other schools are larger and more economically administered.

ANNUAL REPORT
Consolidation.
It is very desirable to consolidate the schools in the Assonet Neck, Algierene, Skunk Hill and Burts Corner Districts, in a large four-roomed school near the Berkley Common to include the Common School for the following reasons :
1. Consolidation holds the best people in the town and attracts other desirable families.
2. Thorough school work is impossible when one teacher has a seven or eight grade program. Consolidation would correct this.
3. The program of studies is so narrow that it is wholly inadequate to meet needs of the present time. Con- solidation would provide a well graded school, and a pro- gram which would help the boys and girls.
4. The condition of several of these schools in regard to ventilation, lighting, sanitation, and even temperature, is so poor that in all probability if an inspection were made, they would be condemned for school purposes. Consolida- tion and housing in a new up-to-date school building would eliminate these evils.
5. Because of the desire of many to secure good school advantages for their children, they move to places known to have good schools. I believe that if something is not done soon to improve conditions some of the best Berkley families will either move away or send their children else- where to school. Consolidation would check this, and be- cause of its tendency to attract other good families to the town it increases the value of property.
6. It has a tendency to make social life more attractive for young people. It is often the lack of this that causes people to leave the country.
69
ANNUAL REPORT
7. The attendance would be better than in all of the separate schools combined.
8. One teacher and several janitors could be eliminated.
9. The consolidated school would probably cost no more per pupil per month than the one-room school.
10. Transportation enables children to arrive on time dry and warm, and eliminate many personal difficulties which are apt to arise in going to and from school.
11. The greatest advantage of consolidation is that the best educational results are realized in a graded school at the minimum of cost.
For these reasons consolidation is to be advocated if we would give the boys and girls a square deal.
The Teaching
Under the conditions which are very poor the teachers are doing as well as can be expected. But the system is dead wrong, and good results are unattainable until condi- tions are improved. As far as the needed equipment is concerned, I endorse the report of my predecessor, Mr. Putney. An exception may be made of the Myricks School, where the teaching and conditions are such as to rate the school a credit to the community.
School Attendance
In the Skunk Hill district the attendance has been more irregular then necessary. The parents should cooperate with the teacher and show the children the importance of regular daily attendance. It is a great detriment to the child himself and also to the school as the work of the class is impeded with excessive absence. Those of us who know
70
ANNUAL REPORT
how little the children get at best regret this condition, and shall do all in our power to enforce the attendance law. Enforcement of the law however involves an expenditure of money which should not be needed if the public supported and helped to enforce the law. It should be remembered that the children are the losers in the end.
Age and Grade Distribution.
The following table shows how the children are dis- tributed by age and grade for the entire town.

ANNUAL REPORT
Pupils of ages represented by the bold faced figures are normal. That is they are average, those above and to the right are somewhat advanced for the group as a whole, and those below and to the left are somewhat slower or retarded as compared with the whole number of pupils. The num- bers at the left-hand side of the table represent years of age, and the Roman numerals the grades. The table shows an average amount of acceleration and of retardation.
The New Courses of Study.
The new course of study will help to make more uniform the elementary education which the boys and girls receive. In some districts it is difficult to provide reference material and I recommend that a few good books of reference be placed in the library with the cooperation of the Library committee: There is no justice in providing some children much better educational facilities than others. The princi- ple of equality of educational opportunities should prevail in the administration of the public schools, so far as this is possible. If this is done, and the course of study is accomplished each year, there should be no difficulty for the children to meet the requirements of the neighboring high schools.
In conclusion, I want to express my appreciation of the cooperation which the committee, teachers and parents have rendered. It is the combined effort of all forces for the development of the boys and girls that counts in the long run. It should be remembered that the schools are after all only one of the educational agencies, and they can make the best showing when all interested cooperate fully for the preparation of our boys and girls for the problems and responsibilities of life.

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL NURSE
Mr. Norman J. Bond, Supt. of Schools, Berkley, Mass.
I have the honor to submit the following report as school nurse for the year ending Dec. 31st, 1923.
Number of school calls, 117
Number of home calls, 112
Pupils were excluded for appearance of Mumps, Measles, Whooping cough, pink eye, chicken pox, scabies, impetigo and pediculosis.
With the exception of the epidemic of whooping cough -Confused to two schools-in the fall of 1923 the health of the pupils, show improvement over previous years. It is felt that the teaching of personal hygiene through the Modern Health Crusade and Health Clubs, as it is being taught in some of the schools is slowly, but surely bringing results, especially noticeable in the lessening of skin diseases.
Yours truly,
ALICE B. MACINTOSH, R. N.

ANNUAL REPORT
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION.
To the citizens of Berkley :
At the request of the school officials of your town, Mr. Arthur B. Lord of this department made a visit to your town for the purpose of surveying the situation with especial reference to possible consolidation of existing one-room schools.
In conference with Mr. Lord, I understand the follow- ing conditions to exist :
(1) There are six school buildings in the town, five being one-room buildings, located and housing pupils as follows:
Assonet Neck
Grades 1-7
17 pupils
Burt's Corner
Grades 1-8
41 pupils
Skunk Hill
Grades 1-8 21 pupils
Algeirene
Grades 1-8 13 pupils
Berkley Common
Grades 1-7
30 pupils
Total registration 122 pupils
(2) None of these buildings conform to accepted mod- ern standards for lighting, heating, ventilation, and sanita- tion.
(3) With the exception of one building, all light is from both sides and the front.
(4) The seating in all these schools is of the obsolete double type which is no longer an approved method of seating.
75
ANNUAL REPORT
(5) The toilet facilities are of the antiquated out door type and in a very bad condition.
(6) The grounds, except for the school at Berkley Common, are wholly inadequate.
It appears to me from the report I have had of the situation that careful consideration should be given to the possibility of consolidation of the five one-room schools herein named in a single building to be located on the site occupied by the school at Berkley Common.
It would seem to me possible to house the number of children (122) now attending the five one room schools in a single consolidated school of four rooms, with two grades in each room. This arrangement would make possible a better grading of the school and allow for growth up to approximately. 150 children.
It appears, furthermore, that, with the school located at Berkley Common, the roads make the problem of trans- portation easy of solution. This will undoubtedly increase the regularity of attendance at school and reduce tardiness.
It might be of interest to your committee to know that of 21,500 teachers in the public schools of Massachusetts but 648 are teaching in one-room schools, and that the number of one-room schools is being decreased by ap- proximately 20 each year. Only 3% of the pupils in the public schools of Massachusetts are attending school in a one-room building.
Very truly yours, PAYSON SMITH,
Commissioner of Education

SELECTMEN'S REPORT
The town's fiscal year closed Dec. 31, all bills are paid but there is a note of $2,000.00 against the town that is due March 20, 1925. There is a cash balance in the treasury of $3,505.38.
The unpaid taxes including the interest due on same Dec. 31 amounts to $5,393.09.
The town appropriated $2,150.00 for general road work which is $50.00 per mile, an amount necessary to put the town in a position to ask for state aid which can be granted under the "Small Town Act". With our present road valuation and by making the above appropriation, the State can give us the sum of $3,225.00 which is equal to $75.00 a mile, this was granted to us for 1924.
The town raised and appropriated $1,500.00 for oiling roads and the state alloted an equal amount.
