ANNUAL REPORT
GENERAL INFORMATION
Birth Certificates
Presentation of a birth certificate is required for entrance to first grade.
Vaccination
Every child who enters school for the first time must present a certificate of vaccination or a statement from his physician that vaccination is inadvisable.
No School Information
When weather conditions are such that our buses are unable to run, a no school notice will be broadcast over Radio Station WEAN at 7:05 a.m. and 8:20 a.m. and over Radio Station WBZ at 7:05 a.m., 7:30 a.m., and 8:30 a.m. Parents are urged to use their own good judgment about sending their children to school on stormy days. The fact that school is in session does not mean that attendance by all pupils is ad- visable.
Transportation
The law requires that transportation be provided for pupils residing more than two miles from the school attended or more than one mile from the nearest bus stop. Many pupils living at lesser distances along established routes are trans- ported if the seating capacity of the bus will permit. From time to time it is necessary to refuse transportation to some of those living under the required distance when our buses are filled to capacity with children living at a greater distance.
Entrance Age
First grade registration in September of any year will be limited to those children who are at least six years of age or who will become six years of age on or before the following January first. There will be no exception to this ruling. Regis- tration must be during the first three weeks of school in September.

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the Citizens of the Town of Berkley:
Herewith is submitted my seventh annual report as Superintendent of Schools for the Town of Berkley. Incorpo- rated herein is the report of the Berkley School Committee. Although we might discuss at length the many phases of our educational program and our philosophy of education in the Berkley school system, a policy of brevity seems to be the one that is generally accepted as adequate.
Financial
This year the town received in reimbursements from the State on account of schools the sum of $14,593.17 which was $1,753.24 less than was received in 1948. The failure of the Legislature to make any provision for reimbursement for vocational school transportation and its failure to make any adjustment for high school tuition, accounts for this decrease. Bills are being considered this year to remedy this unfair situa- tion. The amending of Chapter 71, Section 64, of the General Laws approximately doubles the reimbursement paid on ac- count of the salary and expenses of the Superintendent of Schools. Henceforth the net cost to the Town for the services of a Superintendent will be $296.67 per year.
Of the 118 towns in the State with populations under 5000 and not maintaining a high school, only in six is the amount of taxes paid per capita less than in Berkley.
At a special town meeting held in December, $500.00 was transferred from the regular school account for the purpose of drilling a well. This money became available in the tuition account because of students leaving high school during the year.
Personnel
Mrs. Lois Snow, music supervisor in Berkley for fifteen years, resigned because of superannuation. Her work was always of high calibre, she was most conscientious and co- operative, and she had a sincere interest in the progress and
5
ANNUAL REPORT
general welfare of the boys and girls of Berkley. We regret that she could no longer remain with us at the Berkley School.
Mrs. Marjorie Hayward, a graduate of the Boston Uni- versity School of Music and an experienced music supervisor, was chosen to replace Mrs. Snow. Her interest and ability in instrumental music makes it possible for pupils to receive free instrumental instruction and also makes it possible for us to eventually have a school orchestra.
After four years of teaching in the first grade, Mrs. Marion Redford resigned in June to be married. The Berkley School Committee was fortunate to be able to find a capable teacher for the vacancy. Mrs. Catherine L. Murphy, a graduate of the Lesley School and a resident of Swansea, was chosen for the position.
Mr. Walter Hamilton resigned in October as janitor at the school. The School Committee advertised in the news- papers for candidates and selected Mr. Russell E. Combs for the vacancy.
Berkley continues to be fortunate in having a minimum of changes in its teaching staff. With elementary teachers con- tinuing to be very scarce and with no likelihood of improve- ment within the next few years, the townspeople can congrat- ulate themselves on being foresighted enough to have made salary adjustments last year that would help keep the teaching force intact.
Enrollment
After remaining fairly static for the past few years, the enrollment at the Berkley School has increased considerably since last year. The number of pupils increased from 150 on October 1, 1948, to 161 on October 1, 1949. On January 1, 1950, this number had increased further to a total of 174. With an enrollment of 32 pupils we have the largest first grade group in many years. Should this influx of children continue we will face some serious problems relative to housing. Our class- rooms are close to their maximum capacities, in fact we have many more than is desirable in some of the rooms. Should the school population continue to expand, the opening of the auditorium for classroom purposes will become necessary. Such an eventuality will pose a number of problems of adjust- ment, among them being the addition of another teacher, pur-

ANNUAL REPORT
chase of desks, purchase of blackboards, and the consideration of a solution of the heating problem. Perhaps the town office problem and the heating one can be solved at one time by provisions being made for office facilities at the school.
School Plant
The shortage of water at the school necessitated noon dismissal on seven occasions during the fall. At a special Town Meeting approval was secured for the drilling of a well to remedy a water situation that bordered on the precarious even in other years. Five hundred dollars from the regular school appropriation and five hundred dollars from the Dental Clinic appropriation was made available for this project. The encountering of technical difficulties at approximately two hundred feet in depth made it necessary for the driller to start over again in a different location. At this writing the driller has again approached the two hundred foot depth without securing an adequate water flow. The necessity of changing locations does not entail any additional obligations on the part of the Town.
The Committee paid the Mack Construction Company the sum of $362.50 for a blacktop job at the front of the school. This much needed project eliminates the dust and mud con- dition at the front of the building and makes available a clean and dry area for play purposes. We hope that an expansion of this project will be possible next year.
During the summer the janitor thoroughly washed the floors of the building and removed as much oil and scum as possible, preparatory to sealing and waxing the floors. This work made for improvement not only in appearance of the floors but also from a health and cleanliness point of view. Two ceilings were repainted, broken window cords were re- placed, most of the exterior painting was completed, a coal bin was built, and the general cleaning was undertaken. Dur- ing the fall the new janitor made bookcases, repaired and painted the cellar window screens, and made benches for outside. New curtains were made for the auditorium stage. The urinals in the boys' toilet room were put in working con- dition.
