ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF ATTENDANCE OFFICER
For the year 1928 I am glad to report still further de- cline in needless nonattendance.
If the average attendance does not show a gain it has been because of unavoidable reasons, rather than in- difference on the part of parents or children.
Respectfully submitted,
STEPHEN A. DOW.

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the School Committee of Berkley :
I have the honor to submit my fifth annual report.
This year I have no radical changes to report and no innovations to suggest. Berkley has a well organized school system, modern equipment, capable and conscien- tious teachers, and the schools are producing results most credible to the children and their teachers. This seems to have become an almost habitual annual remark upon my part, but it expresses a fact and I repeat it here without apology and sincerely hope that I may with equal warrant repeat it again in the year to come.
The apparently outstanding characteristic of the Berkley school situation is the variability of the school population. At the time of my report last year, the School at Berkley Common was far from overcrowded, whereas the Myricks School was severely handicapped for room. Last year, in fact, I said something about the town considering an addition to the Myricks School. This year conditions in respect to the two schools are precisely the reverse. Myricks has ample room and Berkley Common is accommodating its children, only by means of classes passing from room to room, in order to equalize the teaching load of the teachers involved. The point is, the school population of Berkley is at just that point where a few families entering town or leaving town, or moving from one part of the town to another, can radically change the entire situation in respect to both school accommodations and transportation. This is manifestly a condition over which no one has any control
10
ANNUAL REPORT
and about which nothing can be done, except to meet con- ditions as they arise. The school department is adjusting itself to changing circumstances to the best of its ability, and, we hope, so far as is possible, satisfactorily.
At this time I should certainly venture no recommenda- tion regarding school addition, because it is entirely prob- able that any recommendation made today would become ridiculous before a chance to act upon it could be taken.
I wish to express my regret over the illness and there- fore necessary leave of absence of Miss Blood the principal of the Berkley Grammar School. Credit for the present smooth running of the school must be given both to Miss Blood, for creating during her presence an organization that can function in her absence, and also to Mrs. Uns- worth who, as acting principal is carrying forward the program and policies of the absent principal.
There was but one change in the regular teaching staff this year, where one capable teacher was followed by another capable teacher, and everything has gone along with the smoothness and effectiveness that has characterized the school since its opening.
I believe the town should be particularly complimented upon its forward step in its care of the health of its children. We are now definitely in the fore ranks of towns in regard to medical inspection and dental care.
In closing I wish to again express my appreciation of the superb treatment that I received from all with whom my duties have brought me in contact. I have learned to know Berkley as a town of real folks. It is a pure pleasure to be, at least in part, one of you.
Respectfully submitted,
EDWARD L. HILL.
