I desire to call attention to the six-inch pipe laid in Edgehill Road. Beachwood Road and Argile Road. The above pipe has been laid by the Norfolk Development Co. with the exception of about two hundred feet in Edgehill Road. This was omitted on account of weather conditions. Will be completed in the early spring.


The employees of the department have performed their several duties faithfully. satisfactorily and in the interest of the Water Department.


I wish to thank the Board of Water Commissioners for their co-operation, advice and courtesy for the past year.


Respectfully submitted.

The above statement showing the expenses of the School Department is submitted to the citizens with this comment. The high cost of supplies, and the increased number of pupils made it necessary to curtail expenditures to keep within our appropria- tions.


We appreciate the generous aid, both financial, and personal, of the townspepople, and trust that the progress of our schools justifies this support.


The enthusiasm with which our Superintendent, our teachers and our pupils have responded to the suggestions of the Mass. Board of Education, and the Public Safety Committees of both State and Town to meet the problems of this most trying year de- serves the highest commendation.


The State authorities are now requesting all school officials to urge their pupils to take up farm work for the coming season. In this matter the Board desires to permit as much latitude as it can consistently, but maintains that the most important work for a pupil of school age is school work.


The installation of a new heating plant at the High school and repairs incidental to the same has already proven a wise in- vestment. · The painting and repairs of the Pond school are a de- cided improvement over former conditions. We hope that the citizens will continue the excellent idea of renovating one building each year, and we urge for this purpose an appropriation for the Noah Torrey school.


The first venture of the Town in portable schoolhouses is most pleasing. Visitors are impressed with the light and cheery condi- tions surrounding the pupils. In addition to its many other good qualities the modern portable has a system of heating and ventila- ting that surpasses those installed in most permanent school buildings.

Janitors,


Th many tributes, and well deserved words of praise spoken cf Miss Thayer at the reception tenderd her upon the fiftieth an- niversary cf her entrance into the teaching profession must have been a source of gratification to Miss Thayer, and to her many friends and scholars.


The Board unanimously agrees that the maximum of $700 for grade teachers is not sufficient to attract to the teaching force young women of the character and teaching ability that the Town demands. The ever increasing demand and consequent increased salaries for young women in business life, is attracting many who otherwise would enter the Normal training schools. This fact has been brought forcibly to the attention of the School Board by Dr. Smitn, Commissioner of Education for Massachusetts. When the full significance of this condition becomes apparent to our citizens, we believe that they will again respond to the needs of the schoo's, and help to solve this problem by advancing the maxi- mum.


After due consideration your committee recommends the fol- lowing budget for the year 1918:

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT


To the School Committee of the Town of Braintree


Herewith is submitted for your approval the report of the Superintendent of Schools for the year ending December 31, 1917. This report is the 33rd in the reports of the superintendents.


Work of the Year


The aim and purpose of our work has been the more complete understanding of the pupil and his needs. To this end teachers and superintendent have been simplyfing and analizing courses of study, studying and testing methods of presentation, and in the full realization that the chief reason for failure and lack of interest in school work is due largely to the inability upon the part of the pupil to read understandingly, especial emphasis has been placed upon reading that means getting thought from the printed page. The socialized recitation, the study-recitation, and the supervised study periods are being developed as the best means of teaching the pupil concentration and correct habit formations in study, power, self dependence, and courage to attack new work and initia- tive in thought and action.


Summer School, and Retarded Pupils


The two summer schools established by the vote of your Com- mittee opened with an attendance of 170 pupils. The pupils for these schools selected from grades 1-6, included only those pupils who had lost much of th school time through sickness, and those who had lost much of the school time through sickness, and those who in the judgment of the teachers would be unable to continue in the grades in which they were, or if passed to the next grade on trial would fail to continue without extra help. Of the 170 pupils entering, 124 did the work satisfactorily. 33 were promoted ơn trial. 13 failed to progress. Later reports show that 131 from the summer school have made their grades. 39 failed to do satis- factory work. The cost of the school was $283.00 in salaries. In materials $7.76. At a little more than $1.70 per pupil, reckoning for running expenses a cost of $33.00 per pupil, the sum of $4323 has been saved by preventing repetition of grade work.


I recommend that the summer school be increased in scope to comprehend not only only those pupils who need extra help to remain in a grade, or to go to the grade above, but for those pupils


191


who by summer school attendance might gain a grade thus saving a year's tuition to the Town, and a year's time to the pupil.


22 double promotions have been given in the year.


Writing, and the Palmer Diploma


The vote of your Committee by which a student entering the High school, and having a Palmer Diploma is credited with one point towards graduation has done much to stimulate an interest in writing in the grades. 53 students entering the High school hold the Palmer Diploma.


Diplomas are held in grades 6, 7, 8, as follows:

Gifts to the Schools


The continued interest of Parents Associations, individuals, and scholars in our schools as manifested in useful gifts is hereby gratefully ackowledged


Noah Torrey School, 100 stereoscopes from the Parents' Associa- sociation.


Bust of George Washington, from Class 1917.


Liberty Bond, from Children of Grade 8.


Pond School, Couch for Teacher's room, Parents' Association.


Jonas Perkins School, Parthescope moving picture machine, pre- sented through the efforts of Mr. Taylor, the principal, the pupils of the school, and two gifts one of $50, one of $5.00.


192


The Abraham Lincoln School, Velour curtain for the hall stage. Presented by the children of the school, assisted by the Par- ents' Association.


High School, a large flag for the flag pole, presented by the gradu- ating class of 1917. Patriotic exercises in charge of Mrs. Lor- ing appropriate to the occasion were held.


Penniman School, a large steel engraving of Washington, presented by Miss Lang.


Patriotic and Civic


The members of the High School and pupils in the grades 5-8 upon the Friday preceding Memorial Day entertained Post 87, of the Grand Army of the Republic, singing patriotic songs, and giving recitations in its honor.


The schools have their sanitary squads looking after the condition of playgrounds and the room conditions in general.


Parents and friends of the school are reminded that while the schools welcome them at any time, the annual Public Day held in May of each year is especially set aside for school in- spection. 137 parents visited the schools last May upon the an- nual Public Day.


Special Services of the Schools in War Time


Since this country entered the war no opportunity has been lost to drive home the lessons of patriotism through service. It is pointed out that as the success of the venture of this nation into war depends upon the organization of every unit into an ef- fective whole, that the boys and girls of our schools can do their bit by rendering assistance according to their abilities and op- portunities. Girls in the High and grade school have formed knitting clubs to contribute to the comfort of soldiers at the front.


107 of our high school boys during the Fall term when labor was so scarce that the ruin of farm crops seemed certain, were organized into squads to assist the farmers. Very little school time was lost by the boys as the squads left the building at the close of school, or at 11 o'clock in the morning.


Notices having to do with the sale of Liberty bonds, and food conservation notices have been distributed quickly through the agency of the schools.


The Commercial Department of the High School has been busily engaged in typewriting notices that have been needed in large numbers, addrssing envelopes, writing letters, tabulating work for the Exemption Board, copying and duplicating letters.


In the Domestic Science Department of the High School, six lectures and demonstrations were given to the housewives of the


193


town, by Miss Brennenstuhl. The sophmore girls of the high school have prepared and served a luncheon to the State Federa- tion of Womens' Clubs. Two dinners and one supper have been served upon public occasions by the girls of the freshman class.


The schools have been most active and generous in contri- buting money to the relief of the suffering children of Europe. Through the Children of America Army of Relief our schools have contributed in five months $234.16. The fundamental idea in this particular form of giving is that the child shall try to earn in some way the amount contributed. This has been a most valuable ethical lesson, as the children contributing through their own activities feel a keen responsibility for the children whom the unfortunate conditions of war have made to suffer.


Special contributions of $30 for the Red Cross, and $10 for the Library fund are also to be recorded.


322 pupils purchased Liberty Bonds.


522 children planted and cared for home gardens.

Roll of Honor


The following list contains the names of all Braintree High School graduates and those who have attended the Braintree High School without graduating, who are now in service, as they are known to the school authorities. The list is known to be very incomplete, but it is thought best to publish it as it is now, in the hope that by it, additions and corrections may be made until the High School Roll of Honor is accurate and complete.
