"Obedience to law is Liberty" is a quotation which, if the world would recognize, accept and act in accordance therewith, would create, or at least tend to create a world brotherhood of man and NOT the world chaos of today. A recognition of the other fellow's rights is most important. After this war the difficulty of the problem will be tremendous but at least some progress may be made in a small way through activities conducted for pupils in our schools by means of which there may be a more desirable mental attitude developed. Some progress I believe has been made in the class room in the social studies by an effort to increase the real understanding of the people of other countries in connection with the activities and ideas of those peoples. When one gets to know people their ideas frequently do not seem to be so strange after all. When one gets to KNOW a child his ideas and actions may be understood and effective guidance undertaken which may lead to desirable ideas and actions. The class room, where schol- astic work is done is, to the child, an artificial environment where it is difficult to know the child. Get him into a game with his fellows, on the play-ground, in the gymnasium, anywhere so long as it is an environment with an atmosphere which he feels is of his own making, and the oppor- tunity is there for KNOWING the child.
Sometimes the term "extra-curricula activities"' is used. We are doing more of this in our High School than we are in our grade schools but even in our High School not as much as might well be done had we the facilities -namely, an adequate building with proper facilities. In our grade schools we are trying to do something-4 H Clubs, Boy Scouts, Cub Packs, Sea Scouts, Basket Ball, Soccer, Tag Ball. To improve in our results more fa- cilities will have to be provided which costs money but definite plans should be prepared with some assurance of approval for their execution in the future.
Many powerful educational agencies can not be controlled or even per- haps influenced by schools and teachers but with public approval the school day can be lengthened so that with the provision of proper facilities and with increased financial support, there can be more extra-curricula activi- ties effectively organized for the benefit of children and efficiently super- vised by a trained personnel and there would be less time for undesirable influences of other agencies to do their work.
After the war I am of the opinion that a plan for accommodating a group of much older students in our High School should be made. I hope that education will be looked upon as being of sufficient value to the individ- ual so that those returning who did not secure a High School diploma will

want to do so and possibly some others in an older age group who perhaps have not been away may feel encouraged to take up the problem of in- creasing their academic credits to the point of securing a High School di- ploma if and when they see that an older group of students is more or less segregated from the younger group. If, when the time comes, this may seem to be impractical because of limited facilities the solution might be found in the establishment of an evening school.
The health of the pupil is most important and I feel that the work done in our schools is better than just averagely good. The following is quoted from the report of the Annual Report of the Director of Health:
"The work in physical education continues on a very high plane; all instructors are concerned with improving physical fitness at their own par- ticular grade and age level. The two high school instructors use a definite plan of action in determining individual physical fitness and then set up a program of correction and improvement for those who indicate a low fitness. Their achievement tests, seasonal programs of activities and gen- eral class work has proven of interest and benefit to the boys and girls. Expressions of praise and thankfulness have been offered to this depart- ment by our boys and girls in the service for the training received in phy- sical education as preparation for the more intensive training which is handed out by our military authorities.
The program in the grades, while of less intensity, nevertheless, is di- rected toward accomplishing beneficial results to all. Body building exer- cises, marching, skills and games are being taught in progression. The time and effort devoted to physical education is so noticeable when our pupils' responses are compared with those of transfer pupils from other schools which have not had this important work."
The press has given no small amount of space lately to so-called juve- nile delinquency. I would like to quote from the annual report of the Super- visor of Attendance:
"Delinquency comes under the head of volitional behavior and the background of volition is the mental life-ideas. Boys and girls see their older brothers and sisters off to join the war services, and their greatest desire is to grow up suddenly, to be emancipated from all family restraints. They are seemingly thrown out of balance, and this is very much on the increase. "Uncertainty" seems to fill the air as far as the High School age, pupils are concerned. I feel that "uncertainty" which radiates from most of the young people I call on every day. This type is habitually on my lists. I can also understand their feelings because I am familiar with their immediate home environments and I can truthfully say the students are NOT to blame." J. Edgar Hoover says, "It is not a problem of Juvenile Delinquency but rather one of Adult Delinquency."
Dr. N. L. Engelhardt says, "The boys coming back from the world fronts will have their ideas about community solidarity, the services to be rendered, and the opportunities they seek for their families. Their world experiences will furnish splendid backgrounds for the reinterpretation of educational programs. They will sense the values of a community educa- tional program of the widest scope and will insist on the schools functioning for longer hours and in the service of adults and young alike" and I am sorry he did not add, with a physical plant and facilities adequate and suit- able for effective functioning but this is so self-evident that it, perhaps, is not necessary that it be stated.
May my wishful thinking come true, "Peace on earth-Good will to- wards men" at least by the time for my next annual report.

C. EDWARD FISHER, Superintendent of Schools

Report of the BOARD OF PUBLIC WELFARE
To the Honorable Board of Public Welfare
Town Hall,
South Braintree, Massachusetts.
Gentlemen :
With the increasing demand for Defense workers during the year, many women procured employment, so that another drastic cut was made in Relief rolls, from 53 cases and 86 persons January 1, 1943 to 29 cases and 49 persons on January 1, 1944. This includes 9 children being cared for by the State.
It is extremely doubtful if this case load will be lowered during the coming year, as those remaining are incapacitated or not eligible for other catagories of Relief.
