REPORT OF ATTENDANCE OFFICER
During 1927 I have made ten calls to investigate non- attendance. Most of these calls were made at three places so the actual cases have been less than usual. May the work continue.

Berkley, Oct. 31, 1927
To the Supt., Mr. Hill and the
School Committee of Berkley :
It is with much pleasure that I submit to you my eight- eenth annual school census.
In looking over the old reports I find that in 1909 we had 210 children from five to fourteen and in the present year (1927) we have exactly the same number.

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the School Committee of Berkley :
I have the honor of submitting my fourth report as your Superintendent of Schools.
This is the second year of consolidation. To all who are in touch with actual conditions, the advantages of the pre- sent organization are increasingly evident. Since I dis- cussed this subject in my last report I will not repeat the topic this year. Instead, I invite the citizens of Berkley to investigate the subject for themselves by visiting schools.
Very few parents visit our schools. The teachers wish that people would come in. For such visits there are sev- eral reasons.
About one-third of all local taxes goes for schools. The citizens are surely entitled to know from first hand direct observation just what they are buying at this figure. Pos- sibly more than a mere privilege is here involved. It might, at any rate, be argued that citizens are under some obliga- tion to see for themselves what is done with their money. I shall not argue the point. I leave the decision to the judgment of the people who pay the bill. I will state that those who spend the money, the School Committee and the Superintendent, would like it better if the people would give what we are doing their constant and careful scrutiny by regular school visitations.
Aside from financial considerations, there is no single thing that people can do, that is more helpful to the schools than constantly visiting them. The work of the children is very directly influenced by their attitude towards school. The children in a school regularly visited always consider
10
ANNUAL REPORT
school work to be much more important and interesting than the children do in a school seldom visited. This dif- ference in viewpoint makes a large difference in results, very ordinary ability, under the urge of strong interest, will regularly outdo much greater ability without enthusiasms. The citizens of any community can, if they will, quickly lift their schools to a high plane of efficiency. To do so people need only to visit regularly, and let the children see that what they are doing is important enough for older people to be interested in it. I wish the citizens of Berkley would try this out. It would help tremendously.
Speaking from my own visits, I feel that I can make a very encouraging report. Our equipment provides for regular diagnostic tests that show definitely both the stand- ing of classes and the progress of individual pupils. Upon the basis of these tests I am glad to state, as a matter of established fact rather than of merely personal opinion, that the school work being done is both creditable now and pro; mising for the future. Our schools are sound and improv- ing.
In the maintainance of good schools in Berkley the help that State Aid gives should be recognized. Berkley has in valuation per pupil but 36% of the State average. Of all the towns and cities of the Commonwealth 96% are better able to support schools. If the amount raised by local taxation were the only funds available the support per pupil would be but 40% of the average for the State. Due to the aid received from the General School Fund, how- ever, the actual support in Berkley is 77% of this average.
Comparison with Dighton, a town that receives no par- ticular State Aid beyond that received by every municipal- ity including cities, is enlightening. Against the 40% average support raised by Berkley, Dighton raises 82% of the average. When, however, total support from all
11
ANNUAL REPORT
sources is compared, Dighton children receive but 76% of the State average against 77% in Berkley. This means that 82% of the average school tax plus no State Aid amounts to 1% less than 40% of the average tax plus State Aid. What the equalization fund does for Berkley is very clear from these figures.
At this time, I wish to point out the crowded condition of the Myricks School. There are no more pupils there than a two room school should hold. The trouble is that the room built on some years ago is of nothing like standard size. All that can be done to make this room larger has now been done. The old entries for the room have been turned into it by tearing down their walls. Nothing re- mains but to make this part of the building either longer or wider. Should rumors of industrial revival at Myricks materialize, the need for some change will be imperative. I mention the matter now in order that such a contingency may be met with a well thought out plan. Such conditions should not come as surprises.
In closing I wish to thank the towns people, the School Committee and the teachers for their kindness and unfailing co-operation.
Respectfully submitted,
EDWARD L. HILL,
Supt. of Schools.

REPORT OF SCHOOL HEALTH SUPERVISION
One annual examination of the scholars attending school in the town during the year 1927 by the school physician. The defects found at this time were 33 pupils with decaycd permanent teeth, 10 with enlarged tonsils and adenoids, and 2 with enlarged cervical glands. At the dental clinic 31 pupils were treated by the school dentist. The school physician also attended a pre-school clinic at which were Dr. R. P. MacKnight, School Nurse and Mr. Edward L. Hill, Supt. of Schools. 16 children were examined physi- cally and mentally. 3 children went to the Health School at Attleboro, who showed improvement for the time spent there.
A Tuberculosis Clinic was held by the State, 28 children were examined with the following result,-Positive Tuber- culosis 1, Mal-nutrition 5. 28 received the tuberculin test and 7 were X-rayed.
During the year Mrs. Josephine Dunham, School Nurse made 108 school visits; weighed 371, finding 12 who were 10% underweight. 79 visits were made at the homes to see children absent on account of sickness, 5 cases of scarlet fever and 6 of whooping cough were found. 25 health talks were given in the schools, great stress was made upon the care of the teeth and diet and it was very gratifying to find such enthusiasm among the children in carrying out the advice and suggestions. This was the first year of systematic teeth cleaning and reporting with most excellent results. One child was fitted with glasses.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT
It affords us great pleasure to place before you our annual report, and it is with pride we look on the work we have been doing. If after reading the report you have any questions to ask, do not hesitate to see us, as we are always ready to give any information we can to promote the wel- fare of Berkley, as this space does not permit all.
By a careful examination of the treasurer's report, we find the Town in poor financial condition and we sincerely hope the tax rate may be reduced, although there are some things that will have a tendency to make them higher; therefore, a careful expenditure of money at your Town Meeting will help lower same.
All our public buildings are in good condition, except the Town Hall, which needs painting and same minor repairs outside. The Berkley & Dighton Bridge was re- paired this year at a cost of: $1,485.83. Berkley's share 3/10 and Dighton's 7/10. The Myricks road has been completed by the Canady Construction Co., and we know it is a road the Town can be proud of. A like proposition on Berkley St. is before the Town at present; if the Town will spend $5000, we have assurance the County and State will do the same, in order that the road may be completed or nearly so in one year.

ANNUAL REPORT
SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS REPORT
To The Citizens of the Town of Berkley :-
At the annual town meeting in 1928 the following money was appropriated for roads. $3600 for general repairs, $2000 for oiling, $1000 for Jerome St., $1000 for Padelford St., $500 for Bay View Ave. We received from the state $4,200 for general repairs and $2,000 for oiling.
The cement bridge on Berkley St. cost $750 which was taken from money for oiling. This work was done by Can- edy Construction Co.
The money was spent approximately as follows;
$1000 on Jerome St., special
$1500 Bay View Ave.
$1000 Padelford St., special
$ 457 general
$ 350 Bryant St.
$1200 Berkley St.
$ 158 Anthony St.
The balance was for tar, and oil on old and new roads, rebuilding of four culverts, scraping, buying new tools and repairing old tools and general care of roads.
This money is under state supervision except special appropriation. The policy of the state is to build new roads.
I recommend the town make a special appropriation of $1000 this year for repairing some of the worst places on old roads.
Respectfully submitted,
LAWRENCE B. SWIFT,
Supt. of Streets.
