SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
To the School Committee of Berkley:
Agreeable to custom I have the honor of presenting to you my tenth annual report. It contains the usual statistics, special reports, comments and suggestions that may be of some interest to .the citizens of the town. At this time it may be well to briefly refer to the decade through which we have passed and contrast figures and conditions existing. In 1910 the population of the town was 999. In 1920 the population was 935. Ten years ago 184 pupils were enrolled in the schools of the town. At present 172 are enrolled. This indicates a decrease in population and also in school enrollment of very nearly seven per cent. Ten years ago the enrollment by schools was as follows: No. 1, 25; No. 2, 38; No. 3,19; No. 4, 10; No. 5, 13; No. 6, 22; No. 7, 57. For the year 1920 the enrollment is, No. 1, 41; No. 2, 48; No. 4, 22; No. 6, 30; No. 7, 36.
A study of present conditions leads to the conclusion that there is no demand for the erection of small school buildings; but that there is an increasing call for centrali- zation and the construction of one modern school build- ing at the common. Such arrangement, aside from pro- viding things modern, would increase the teaching capac- ity more than three-fold. 'At no distant day such pro- vision must be made in order to meet the growing demands of the high school. Even a trained, experienced teacher
62
ANNUAL REPORT
cannot be over fifty per cent. efficient when she must teach nine grades; how much less efficient is the untrained, half educated teacher. I submit to the citizens of the town that it is not sound business to conduct schools on that basis.
Much is being written and done to render the schools more effective. This effectiveness does not mean only the usual routine of daily school instruction, but it includes also the great movement to Americanize the peoples that crowd our shores from other lands, But more than all else it is to utilize and strengthen all educational forces and activities that out of the present upward struggling mass of mankind may arise an army of men and women so thoroughly equipped that they will prove to be powerful and wise leaders of men. It is not the work of a day or a year to develop such leaders. Foremost in this class stands the real teacher. Because education is the founda- tion of nearly all that is worthwhile in life, the most earnest effort should be put forth to retain not only the present services of genuine instructors but far more to build up a profession that will appeal to the best thinkers and enlist their services for life.
It may be fairly assumed that the public have begun to realize that the teacher must be justly treated in all respects. The more than eleven thousand vacant schools in this country together with more than one hundred thousand poorly prepared teachers are a conclusive argu- ment for a good wage for the teacher. But this is not all of the paragraph. The teacher must be taken seriously. She must be made a real part of the community in which she lives. She must come in contact with the best minds. and characters of her locality. Her working environment must be pleasant and comfortable. To apply this stan- dard to the city only is an unwarranted error. The coun-
63
ANNUAL REPORT
try school above all other places should be strsssed in everything that appertains to the best education. Some states are already putting their emphasis upon their rural schools. In the near and remote past the stupendous error has been made that the city and village teacher, with her one or two grades, must be paid a far larger salary than her sister teacher who daily gives instruction to nine grades in a rural school. Not a single word can be spoken in its favor. The onus is upon the school authorities to devise and apply the proper remedy. When this nation is spending nearly three times as much on luxuries as on education, not a murmur ought to be heard over higher tax rates that may result from putting more emphasis upon our schools. I have unlimited faith and assurance in the great American public who have never yet failed to rise to the level of doing their whole duty when there was a worthy and just call. There is not the least room for pessimism. It is an American characteristic to delay action until the question has been thoroughly thought through and then to arise and apply the proper remedy. But we as genuine Americans must not delay action any longer. Such mighty and personally vital factors are in- volved in this whole problem, that unless the proper solu- tion is reached every lover of this his native land will feel undesirable effects. These facts apply to this town now. The making of the school budget another year will indicate whether we purpose to advance or recede. Either the one or the other we shall do willingly or unwillingly. At this point it may not be inopportune to say that we do not claim the schools are ideal. But we assert that earnest effort is being made to do good constructive work. Work that will stand the test of use and indicate the faithfulness of the teachers. However, fidelity, to service is not all there is to any position. If we expect better teachers,
64
ANNUAL REPORT
and surely many of the schools need them, then the salary must be inviting for at least two reasons: First, to attract the rightminded young man or woman to the profession; second, to enable the teacher by special courses at summer schools or Saturday courses at some university to keep abreast with the most advanced thought of his depart- ment. Furthermore the parent must be educated up to the idea that the teacher is both able and willing to give her best for the progress of the normal ,child. At the same time the parent must enter into hearty co-operation with the school in order to make it of the utmost benefit to his child. Yet, though the teacher and parent may use their best efforts to give their children that which is their due, unles there is enough public mindedness to furnish an environment that is not only properly educa- tive but morally uplifting, most of the work of parent and teacher will be lost. In view of the educational facts that are so prominent in our country, this idealism is needed. It has made us a nation of thinkers, whose chief ambition has been to be rather than to do. But surely in the greatest crisis of modern action, the American nation that has been trained on that basis has proved itself a great doer of mighty deeds.
It is a pleasure to express our thanks to the school committee, teachers and all others who have aided in making the school work of the year pleasant and successful.
Respectfully submitted,

BERKLEY, MASS., DEC. 31, 1920.
Mr. M. H. Bowman, Superintendent of Schools:
Dear Sir: The attendance in the Public Schools has improved in the last year. In some of the schools the children have shown a greater desire for perfect attendance.
Schools No. 1 and No. 6 have had a great amount of sickness, thereby causing a lower record than usual.
I have been called three times to investigate a case of truancy at school No. 4, and once at school No. 6. '
Respectfully submitted,
