ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the School Committee of Berkley:
I have the honor of presenting my second annual report as your Superintendent of Schools.
The outstanding event of the year is the actual start on a four room building on the site of the old Berkley Common School, with the resulting certainty that this is the last year of present conditions. The children of Berkley will have school facilities that compare favorably with those of other places. After a year or two of the new conditions, when it has been demonstrated that good schools do not involve prohibitive expense and that they do involve a real return value for the money spent, I am sure that hardly a person in town would consider for a moment a return to old conditions.
This year the work of equipping the present schools has been done with future conditions in mind. The object has been to have, so far as possible, in the present schools, an equipment that, would be, when brought together, ade- quate and suitable for the new building without needless duplication of those items that go according to teachers or grades rather than according to the number of pupils in- volved.
While the new building meets present needs, I wish to point out that it would not care for more than a limited increase in school population. The Town should consider carefully the probability of an increased school population
73
ANNUAL REPORT
in any locality, before the building now serving that area is sold. Schools closed at a time of consolidation some- times become needed again, and their sale proves to be a costly mistake. While some of the present buildings are unlikely to be required again, the school at Burt's Corner, is, in my opinion, one that will probably needed at some future time as a primary school, and a similar need could easily develop in the No. 6 district.
I wish to close this report with an expression of my appre- ciation of the pleasant relations that I have enjoyed with all citizens and officials of the town, and to express also the satisfaction with which I anticipate the near future time when conditions will allow a Superintendent of Schools to make such use of the portion of his time belonging to the town as efficient service requires.
Respectfully submitted,
EDWARD L. HILL,
Supt. of Schools

ANNUAL HEALTH REPORT
To the School Committee.
The school nurse, Miss Alice B. MacIntosh has done ex- cellent work during the year 1925 working hard at school houses and in the homes that visible results might be accomplished. She made 103 school visits and 129 visits to the homes of the scholars urging the parents to look more carefully to the nourishment of the children to overcome the condition of underweight and all the ills, lack of am- bition, energy and strength attending it. In April the weighing showed 20 children, and in September 21 children were 103/8 or more underweight.
Besides the underweights the following reasons called her to the homes,- to give instruction to parents of 20 children in the method of cleaning heads of lice; 10 visits to children staying home for severe colds; 5 each for eye troubles, chicken pox, tonsillitis; 3 for swollen glands; 2 each for appendicitis, skin eruptions, ear trouble; 1 each for acute nephritis, pneumonia, boils, dog-bite,
During the months of February, March, April and May a dental clinic was conducted by Dr. Charles A. Teeden of Taunton as dentist. During these months 95 children were treated, 91 had their teeth cleaned, 86 teeth were ex- tracted and 29 cavities had silver fillings.
In June a pre-school clinic for the examination of child- ren intending to enter the schools in September. At this clinic held in the Library building 21 children were ex- amined with the following findings, 13 with carious teeth, 5 with enlarged tonsils, 4 with adenoids, 7 with enlarged
75
ANNUAL REPORT
cervical glands, 1 with heart disease, 1 to have X-ray examination, 1 to be under observation for a year for tuberculosis.
During the year Miss MacIntosh was instrumental in having 3 children fitted with eye glasses, and eight opera- tions for the removal of tonsils and adenoids. An emer- gency case was bought at Burt's Corner with money raised by the pupils and a sum of money for health fund was raised by pupils of Assonet Neck by giving a Health Play.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT
The Legislature of 1926 passed an act amending chapter 81 of the General Laws, which will be of great benefit to small towns, as it provides for a larger expenditure of money . by the state for the repair and improvement of town ways.
The following: are extracts from the General Laws in regard to the disbursement of money for the repair and improvement of town ways as amended and approved May 5, 1926.
Chapter 81 General Laws Section 26. There may be expended for the repair and improvement of public ways, other than state highways, in towns having valuations of less than four million dollars, as established by the last preceding valuation made for the purpose of apportioning the state tax, and in which the proportionate amount paid by such towns of every million dollars of such tax as so established, divided by the number of miles of such public ways, hereinafter known as the road mileage ratio, is less than twelve dollars, such sums not exceeding one hundred dollars per mile as the general court may appropriate there- for; provided, that such towns shall contribute or make available for use in connection therewith the following amounts for each mile of such public ways within their respective limits, according to the following schedule based on their road mileage ratio :--
1. Less than one dollar and forty cents, fifteen dollars.
2. One dollar and forty cents and less than two dollars, twenty five dollars.
9
ANNUAL REPORT
3. Two dollars and less than two dollars and eighty cents, forty dollars.
4. Two dollars and eighty cents and less than three dollars and fifty cents, fifty dollars.
5. Three dollars and fifty cents and less than five dollars and fifty cents, seventy dollars.
6. Five dollars and fifty cents and less than seven dollars, one hundred dollars.
7. Seven dollars and less than nine dollars, one hundred and twenty five dollars.
8. Nine dollars and less than twelve dollars, one hun- dred and fifty dollars.
The amounts appropriated as aforesaid and contributed by the towns shall be expended under the direction of the division on such ways as the division and the selectmen of the town may agree upon.
Said chapter eighty-one is hereby further amended by striking out section twenty-nine and inserting in place thereof the following :- SECTION 29. The division shall determine, as nearly as possible, the number of miles of such public ways in towns entitled to the benefits under section twenty-six, and shall inform the selectmen of such towns of the contributions required from them under said section.
The extracts from chapter eighty-one have been embodied and made a part of this report, for the benefit of all that are interested in having good roads, and who may desire a better understanding of just what is required of the town in order to get help from the state.
For maintenance under this act, the town must appro- priate the sum of $2100.00 to be in the control of the select- men, who shall make application to the state, and the
10
ANNUAL REPORT
division of public works may appropriate $4200.00 which is one hundred dollars a mile for every mile of road in the town that comes under this act.
There has been contributed to the town for road im- provement up to the present time from the following sour- ces :
Commonwealth
$40,568.54
County of Bristol
4,500.00
Thomas P. Paull

The uncollected taxes amounts to $4,471.61.
Our town counsel have examined the records at . the registry of deeds and they advise that they do not find anything to prevent the town from selling all of the old school-houses.
