In the High School conditions are extremely bad because of the crowd- ing in of many more students than the building was designed to accommo- date. In several particulars state recommendations regarding seating are disregarded in order to get in enough desks for the present student body. For assemblies the school goes into the basement of the McFarlin School, and Mr. Burns meets one of his classes there each day. On October 1st there were 376 students in membership, including 19 post-graduates, but during the fall term the total number registered was 397, and the present membership is 379. Present indications are that the school will be larger next year. The class to be graduated in June is smaller than the class of 1932, and the 8th grades have 30 pupils more than a year ago. At least one ad- ditional teacher and the use for full time of at least one room in the McFar- lin School would seem to be necessary next September. I refer you to the report of the Principal for details of lessened efficiency in the school due to too large classes and crowded rooms. The improvement of teaching con- ditions,as a factor making toward better schools, is a matter which can- . not long be put off in Chelmsford.
The various scout troups and the 4-H clubs have continued their ex- cellent service to many of the school pupils. I regret that it is not possible to offer to all boys and girls of Chelmsford the valuable training these organizations give. So far as possible without conflicting with school work the facilities of school buildings have been placed at their disposal. The scout leaders and leaders of the 4-H clubs merit hearty commendation from the community for the time and effort and interest they give. Miss Hopkins, Assistant County Club Agent gives this report.
There were 312 girls and boys enrolled in 4-H Club work in garden, canning, poultry, clothing, handicraft, food and health clubs. Perley W. Kimball served as 4-H Club chairman, and the following served as local leaders : Mrs. E. D. Harris, Mrs. Ernest Ferron, Mrs. Joshua Machon, Mrs. R. P. Kidder, Mrs. E. T. Burbeck, Mrs Vivian Jackson, Mrs, Robert Barris, Mrs. Ralph Finch, Mrs Emil Anderson, Mrs James Taylor, Miss Betty Long, John Rikkola, Marcus Johnson, Martin Bergsten, Edwin Rik- kola, Dewey Fish, Edwin Eriksen, John Daughraty, Sidney Dupee, Charles House, John Cassidy, Bayard Dean, Thaddeus Ducharme and Lucien Ducharme.

Mrs. Harris, Mrs. Machon, and Mr. John Rikkola attended the leaders' Camp during Camp Gilbert at the Massachusetts State College.
Arlene Corr, Irene Cox, Myrtle Ferron, Yvonne Crawford, and Charles Merrill were awarded a two-day trip to Amherst for good project work.
Several of the Chelmsford clubs attended and took part in the County Rally at Concord.
Julia Koulas was given the honor of being State delegate to Camp Gilbert on the merits of her garden work.
Phyllis Welshi won a red ribbon at the State Health Contest in Wor- cester.
The Wide-Awake Workers' Sewing Club, under the leadership of Mrs. R. P. Kidder and Mrs. E. T. Burbeck, had the distinction of having five boys enrolled as members. The Chelmsford Center clubs displayd their ex- hibits of clothing, handicraft and poultry, in a local store window. The South Chelmsford club gave a delightful evening's program with its display of exhibits, having Mr. George L. Farley, State Club Leader, as guest speaker of the evening. The East Chelmsford clubs also had an exhibit and programı in connection with a P.T.A. meeting. The North Chelmsford garden club (John Cassidy, leader) had a most attractive window display of vegetables. A Mother's Day program, with Minstrel entertainment, was given by the Westlands clothing club, under the leadership of Mrs. Vivian Jackson.
Several prizes in the Middlesex North Garden Contest went to Chelms- ford boys. John Cassidy and Julia Koulas participated in the vegetable judging contest at Brockton Fair. The West Chelmsford canning club (leaders, Mrs. Emil Anderson and Mrs. James Taylor) were awarded second prize at Groton Fair for their canning exhibit.
With its score of able and enthusiastic townspeople acting as local leaders, Chelmsford has had a good record of completions and has main- tained a satisfactory standard of club work.
The number of children transported has increased each year, without adding any bus stops nearer the schools. The greatest increase this year is in the number of High School students from West Chelmsford and North, the number rising from 149 to 166. In all the schools the number transported this year is about 580.
Four teachers were in attendance at summer schools: Mr. Knightly at Harvard, Miss Perry at Fitchburg Teachers College, Miss McTeague at Boston University, and Mr. Hilyard at Bates. A number are taking after- noon work, or Saturday morning work, either in Lowell or Boston.
We have had again this year the service of cadet teachers from Lowell State Teachers College, four during the fall term and three at this time. The Town is receiving valuable assistance in several classrooms by means of this arrangement, and every effort is made to meet the conditions re- quired by the College in order that the service may be continued year after year.
Previous reports have outlined plans for offering better educational opportunities to the children of Chelmsford. In this period when costs
11
must be kept down these plans are necessarily held in abeyance. Our task at this hour is so to administer the funds voted by the tax-payers as to secure for the boys and girls the greatest possible benefit therefrom. It would be idle to hold that school opportunities in Chelmsford have not been curtailed during the last few years. The physical education program has been suspended, as was the special department of drawing at an earlier date ; minimum and maximum salaries for new teachers have been reduced, mak- ing Chelmsford somewhat less attractive to ambitious teachers; rooms are so crowded that the best teaching results cannot be obtained ; classes in the High School have been made larger, and subjects in which classes were small have been given up temporarily. No one has desired to have these economies made at the expense of the schools, but a shrinking valuation and a rising tax rate have compelled such action. The tasks of school com- mittees in determining school policies, and of superintendents in executing the policies adopted, are difficult ones in. times like these. We have received cordial support from the parent-teacher associations and in the main from the body of citizens, the large majority of whom appreciate the difficulties of the present situation. The attitude of the teachers has been commendable in the extreme; they have accepted the situation as inevitable, have prac- ticed economy in the use of all school supplies and equipment, and have used the economic crisis as an opportunity for teaching in their classrooms, the evils of extravagance.
Students from commercial classes have assisted in clerical work in the superintendent's office, as has been done for several years. Appreciation for these services is expressed, and also in behalf of both students and teachers for the aid received from the Lions' Club, the Parent-Teachers, and the leaders of scout and club work. I commend you, the members of the School Committee, for your earnest and thoughtful attention to school problems, and in behalf of all in the school department thank you for your loyal support.

GEORGE S. WRIGHT.

REPORT OF HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
Mr. George S. Wright, Superintendent of Schools, Chelmsford, Massachusetts.
My dear Mr. Wright :
As principal of Chelmsford High School, 1 herewith submit my third annual report. The main object of this report is to acquaint the public with the high school situation. I hope that those who read it will thereby become more interested than ever before and make a personal visit to the school.
On January 3, 1933, there were 107 freshmen, 99 sophomores, 86 juniors, 69 seniors, and 18 post-graduates, a total of 379 enrolled; beside this number 18 have left school. making a grand total of 397 pupils who have been en- rolled this school year. This is an increase of 42 over the enrollment of one year ago and an increase of 87 over the enrollment of two years ago. The present enrollment exceds the intended pupil capacity of the building by more than 68 per cent. One reason for this large increase is the fact that there have been 40 pupils enrolled this year that were not enrolled in the Chelms- ford schools last year. The large class of post-graduates is also partly re- sponsible for the large enrollment. As there are about 30 more eighth grade pupils this year than last and next year's graduating class is 17 larger than this year's, a conservative estimate of the enrollment one year hence is 430 pupils. At the present rate of increase the enrollment will be more than double the pupil capacity of the building by January 1935.
There are but three classrooms in the building that were designed for more than 25 pupils. There are 8 classes of less than 20 pupils, 7 classes of between 20 and 25 pupils, 16 classes between 25 and 30, 14 classes between 30 and 35, 9 classes between 35 and 40, and two classes of over 40 pupils. Extra desks and chairs have been put into the classrooms to take care of the extra large classes. The McFarlin School has to be used for one class of 21 pupils each day. This means a loss of time for actual classroom work as pupils have to take time to get rubbers and coats before going to the other building. The McFarlin basement is used for assemblies as there is 110 room large enough to seat the entire school in the high school building.
The teachers have teaching loads of 174, 170, 159, 157, 157, 155, 152, 144, 135, and 121 pupils a day. The commercial classes are over crowded more than the college preparation classes. If pupils could be assigned classes irrespective of their own interests a much more even teaching load could be planned. Every indication points toward the necessity of an extra teacher for the commercial department next school year. This department is work- ing under crowded conditions which handicap the efficiency of the work very much. The class in trigonometry was dropped for this year because of the small number electing the course, and the need of the teacher in another subject.
The locker rooms are very much crowded at recess times, especially on cold and stormy days. The lockers are inadequate in number and condi-
13
tion. The toilet room accommodations are far from satisfactory at recess time because there are no toilets on the basement floor and those on the main floor are far too small to accommodate the large number of people during the short time at recess.
The members of the athletic squads are the only pupils receiving phy- sical education at the present time. These squads are being handled very well by two men and two women teachers. Class games in basketball are held for boys and girls not on the varsity squads. Owing to the large number of pupils taking part in athletics and the cost of replacing worn out equip- ment, the task of financing athletics has been very difficult. The entire cost of equipment, officials, and the transportation for the athletic teams has to he met by revenue taken in at the games and the Athletic Association dues. Mr. Marinel and the athletic officials have co-operated with us in trying to keep the expense within what we can pay. Dr. Varney and the Lions Club sponsored a "Booster Day" this year at the Varney Playground, which netted $199.00 for the Athletic Association.
With the large classes, heavy teaching loads, and crowded conditions the teachers do not have as much time with each individual as they would have under normal conditions. The question of discipline is also more diffi- cult. About the only way that each pupil can get the education and training he deserves is to eliminate those pupils from school who do not make an honest effort both in class work and citizenship. It is not fair, in times like these, if it is at any time, to allow pupils who do not try to get their lessons, or those who do not conduct themselves properly, to take the time of the teachers that should be given to pupils who desire to learn. Vocational courses would help solve many of the present difficult problems in class work and citizenship. If vocational courses were ever needed they are needed now when many pupils are in school because there is nothing else for them to do. They are little interested in any work the high school has to offer them, hence they are dissatisfied and more or less unruly.
It is not my intention in this report to find fault but to merely state the facts as they are here in your high school.
Following is a report of the school funds by our vice principal, Miss McCarthy, who has charge of all school funds so called :

REPORT OF MUSIC SUPERVISOR
Chelmsford, Massachusetts January 5, 1933.
Mr. George S. Wright, Superintendent of Schools, Chelmsford, Massachusetts.
Dear Sir :
My aim in the teaching of public school music is music appreciation. Children can be taught to know and appreciate good music, from the simple note. song to the higher forms of vocal and instrumental music. In order to do this, the child must know certain musical technicalities, but the need has arisen, and the child understands the necessity of learning these tech- nicalities.
In the High School, classes meet twice a week. One period is devoted to chorus work and the other to music appreciation. One class hears the Damrosch Appreciation course, and the other class has a standard course presented to them, and notebooks are kept in both classes.
There is a splendid orchestra in the High School this year. There are six violins, one saxophone, one clarinet, one trombone, four trumpets, a snare drum, and piano. The orchestra meets once a week for an hour's rehearsal, and it has performed for High School assemblies, and operetta productions.
This year an operetta was given in the McFarlin School and was very successful. May I take this opportunity to thank all parents and children who helped to make it a success.
I wish to thank every teacher for his or her co-operation.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLOTTE L. HYDE.

May Health Day was observed in all schools. Following the children's part in the program physically fit and improvement tags were awarded.
Vaccinations have been very well taken care of. Only two children have certificates for exemption from vaccination.
Schick test was given in May to all children who were immunized in October, 1931. Only 14 were found to be positive. Those fourteen were re- immunized in October, 1932. We immunized 153 pupils, 33 pre-school chil- dren, one mother and one teacher.
The results of the follow-up clinic by the Department of Public Health, Division of Tuberculosis showed a great improvement of the 28 school pupils and 3 out-of-school children examined. This clinic consisted of x-rays and physical examinations. Dr. McCarthy and Miss Le May from the State Dept., conducted the examinations. Miss Le May gave the children valuable advice concerning nutrition and personal hygiene.
Pre-school clinics were held in May. It was a big success because many defects found were corrected before the children entered in September.
When a classroom is exposed to any contagious disease, all pupils are examined by the school physicians and daily examined by the nurse until the danger is past. All desks, school books, and library books are taken care of.
I have a Senior Health Club. Meetings are held every week. The girls are working hard in carrying out plans which benefit the entire community. They sponsored a banquet for the boys at the end of the football season.
The Parent Teacher Association took charge of the McFarlin School lunch room last September which is now self-supporting. Free lunches were served, which included 304 bowls of soup, 80 sandwiches, 285 cups of cocoa, 3 dinners and 239 bottles of milk.
Hot lunches are served in the Princeton School. Hot soups and cocoa are served in the Quessy and East Chelmsford Schools. Many of the other children are able to go home for lunch. .
The Parent Teacher Association and the Lions Club made it possible for several children to wear glasses. The Parent Teacher Association helps to pay the dentist and assists in many ways.
I wish to thank the school physicians, Dr. Varney and Dr. Scoboria, for their frequent visits to the schools, advice, and help to pupils and their wonderful co-operation in anything pertaining to the welfare of the child.
I also thank Mr: Wright, School Committee, Parents, Teachers, Churches, different organizations and the pupils for the excellent co- operation.
Respectfully submitted,
(Mrs.) MAE S. LEWIS, R.N.
