A three-year contract with Mr. George Marinel terminated last June. During the period of this contract there had been numerous com- plaints of the busses being over-loaded, and a few complaints that chil- dren were being required to walk too far to reach a bus stop. A careful study showed that the situation could be remedied only by adding one more bus to the service and by changing the routes slightly. The new contract calls for the use of five busses instead of four. The busses are not now over-loaded, as they were previously. Some children at the High and McFarlin schools do have to wait a considerable time after school, owing to the fact that each bus makes two or three trips from these schools. The only remedy for this condition would be to add more busses, at an increased cost. The change in routes has worked out satis- factorily.
EXCEPTIONAL CHILDREN
For many years the State has recommended, or required, special educational facilities for children who cannot be adequately educated in regular classes. This would include children who are physically han- dicapped, lame, deaf, blind, etc .; and also a larger group of those who are mentally handicapped, those children who cannot progress as rapidly as most children do, or who cannot profit by the usual school program. The school law requires that each town shall ascertain annually the number of children three years or more retarded in mental development. This is not done by the local teachers, but by specialists from the various state hospitals who are assigned to groups of towns. If ten or more such children are found, the law further provides that a special class, or classes, shall be established for their instruction. This law is mandatory, the wording is shall provide, not may. Any town with a school enroll- ment of one thousand has more than ten such children. The ratio of the mentally handicapped children to the whole number is a fairly constant one. Chelmsford has had, probably, more than ten children three years or more retarded ever since the state has provided for special class instruction. When the High School gives up the use of the two rooms in the McFarlin School, on the completion of the addition, one of these rooms should be used for such a class. Several advantages would result. In the first place, a more suitable program would be offered to those
10
children who through no fault of their own cannot profit from the 1cg- ular program. The work in the class, which must be a small one, would be adjusted to the needs of each individual pupil. A second gain is found in the fact that these children now require more than a proportional amount of the teacher's time in the regular classes. Also, the town would be complying with a clearly stated mandatory law.
VOCATIONAL EDUCATION
Chelmsford has lagged behind most towns of its class in the matter of providing vocational education. In part this need has been supplied by Lowell Vocational School. It may reasonably be expected that with the completion of the new school in Lowell more of our boys will be attracted to that school and will apply for admission. Whether Lowell will have room for more boys from Chelmsford and other suburban towns the future will tell. But even with Lowell supplying the means for real vocational education, there is a place for courses in practical arts in the upper grades and the High School. Our courses are too closely confined to the study of books; laboratories and shops for hand-work of various types are needed for both boys and girls. This problem ranks second to the one of supplying seats and desks for an increasing en- rollment. The table below shows the enrollment of Chelmsford pupils in Lowell Vocational School on Oct. 1st for the last five years.

The tuition charge is $150 a year, and there is a reimbursement from the State of one-half the amount paid. Agreement to pay tuition is withdrawn if the school reports that a student is irregular in attend- ance or is making no effort. A mid-year report is made to the Superin- tendent on attendance, effort, and standing.
THE HIGH SCHOOL
The Department of Education annually classifies all high schools as A or B schools. A high school in class A has certain certification privi- leges which are not extended to class B schools. Needless to say it has greater prestige. The Chelmsford High School has been rated as in class A since it was established in 1917. The rating is based on a written inquiry dealing with the organiation of the school, number of pupils, number of teachers, length of recitation periods, number in each class, courses offered, points required for graduation, etc. It is a comprehen- sive and searching inquiry. This is followed by a personal visit by the
11
Supervisor of Secondary Education, after which the rating for the year is given.
On Nov. 30, 1938, Mr. A. Russell Mack made his official visit. In a letter following this visit, he calls attention to Rule 2 of the Regulations for Approval of High Schools, which reads as follows:
"Exclusive of the principal, the number of teachers in the school should be such that in general the ratio of pupils in the membership of the school to teachers does not exceed thirty to one."
Mr. Mack further states that the ratio was formerly 25 to 1, and was expanded to 30 to 1 after the depression forced a cut in school budgets. He finds the ratio in Chelmsford High School to be 36.6, one of the worst in the state. He writes: "It is very obvious that the rating of Chelmsford High School as class A should be placed in jeopardy." He recommends the engaging of three additional teachers, one or more of them at once.

Acknowledgement is made for the services of many people who have aided the teachers in one way or another, or who have worked with groups of school children. Students from Lowell Teachers College have worked in some rooms as cadet teachers; our own High School students in the commercial department have aided in clerical work; Mr. Marinel has furnished busses beyond the strict letter of his contract; the Police Department has rendered efficient service both at games and at other times ; leaders of scout troops and of 4-H clubs have supplemented classroom instruction; the parent-teacher organizations have given loyal support. To these and to all others who have been of assistance, and to you, members of the School Committee, in behalf of teachers and pupils I express our deep appreciation.

GEORGE S. WRIGHT,

REPORT OF HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
January, 13, 1939
Mr. George S. Wright Superintendent of Schools
Chelmsford, Massachusetts
My dear Mr. Wright :
I am pleased to submit herewith my ninth annual report as prin- cipal of Chelmsford High School. In it I shall attempt to call to the attention of the parents and taxpayers interesting facts concerning the school.
There were 236 boys and 233 girls enrolled September 7, 1938. On January 3, 1939, there were 234 boys and 242 girls. The total enrollment for the present school year up to January 3. 1939, is 495. That is an in- creased enrollment of 41 over January 1, 1938.
The pupils of Chelmsford High School deserve and should have the necessities required to receive, not only the maximum educational ad- vantages, but the best possible equipment to develop and maintain their health and safety. It is with these facts constantly in mind that we are willing to point out any lack of these necessities in our school, and when we ask for improvements we do it for the welfare of the pupils.
Every pupil who is admitted to Chelmsford High School has a right to achieve a certain amount of success if he applies himself to that pur- pose. When a pupil fails to keep up for any reason not his own fault, we are very glad to give him what extra help he will use in order to catch up. Each teacher is at school at least two afternoons every week to work with these pupils. May I ask for the cooperation of parents of any pupils who are failing in any work to see to it that their boys and girls take advantage of this special help.
Pupils who are ill should remain at home for their own health and the health of others. The large majority of pupils attend school very regularly, but there are a few who are absent too often. If parents of these children would keep them in school, there would be fewer failures at the end of the school year.
14
Coaches and athletes are doing a splendid job, with the inadequate equipment and facilities at hand. At the present time there are no show- ers for the girls who play basketball, and the addition to the building now in progress does not provide for showers or dressing rooms for either boys or girls. These should be installed just as soon as possible. There could well be a question as to the advisability of trying to train athletes and have athletic contests without showers and dressing rooms for all athletic teams.
Assemblies are being held nearly every Wednesday in the McFarlin basement. The student body is divided into two groups for assembly purposes, because we did not consider it safe to crowd the entire group into that room at one time. On two occasions when we had out of town lecturers, we went to the Center Town Hall where the whole group met together. Besides the assemblies where we have had outside talent, we have had many where the teachers and pupils have furnished the pro- gram. These programs have been very well done and much credit is due the pupils and teachers in charge.
We are ready at all times to have parents and friends visit school and give us their constructive criticisms. If your children are not bring- ing satisfactory reports home to you, please come and confer with the teachers. I am sure you will find that this will work for the good of the boys and girls.

Pupils with illness taken home by nurse 188
The school doctors, Dr. Arthur Scoboria and Dr. George Carriel, assisted by the school nurse ,completed physical examinations of gram- mar and high school students about the end of November. A thorough physical examination was given to candidates for athletic teams. All pupils have been weighed and measured, underweights checked, and milk given those who could not afford it. Community Church service gave money toward the milk fund. Seal money helped with milk.

Pupils treated by school dentist-January to June 279
Dr. Martin, the County School Clinic Doctor, was here in October to carry on a follow-up clinic.
The report is as follows :
Number of children recommended for further follow-up at 1937-1938 School Clinic 19
Number of children x-rayed 13
Number of children examined 12
Number of children discharged to Middlesex County
Sanatorium Diagnostic Clinic for further close observation 1
Number of children going to Lowell High School therefore discharged from school clinic 1
Number of children left school (discharged from school clinic) 1
Number of children left school (will try to get in again next year) 1
Number of children refusing X-ray and physical examination 1 Physical examinations 14
Observation cases 12
Negative cases (discharged) 2
The pre-school clinic in May was better attended than ever before, and it shows the increasing trend toward the desire to correct defects before the child enters school in the fall.
20
The Red Cross, again very generous, made it possible for twenty worthy pupils in our schools to have their tonsils and adenoids removed; thirty-four were performed at different hospitals in Lowell during the summer vacation; your nurse transported many of the children without charge.
Let me again this year urge parents to watch closely the health of their children and guard against unnecessary illness and absence from school because of "common colds." At any sign of further infection the parent should instinctively call in a physician to diagnose the disease, for a nurse is not allowed to do so. During this year a number of chil- dren were excluded as suspicious cases of Whooping Cough and Chicken Pox, and the Board of Health notified. When such a situation occurs, the school doctors and school nurse examine all the pupils in the room or school. When contagion occur, examinations are are repeated every few days until the disease is checked. Children who have been absent from school five days or more must have a certificate from their doctor or the Board of Health before returning.
A check-up of all schools in November, 1938 showed that all pupils from Grade Two to Grade Eight have been immunized except twenty- eight, some of whom have moved into town since the last regular im- munization clinic in September, 1937. The majority of first grade pupils were immunized before entering school and those who were not are to be done at the next clinic. After many visits to the school fifty-four con- sents were obtained by the school nurse and turned over to the Board of Health.
Dr. Archibald, Health Officer; Dr. Carrol, his assistant; and Miss Martin, State consultant, have visited your nurse many times during the year and have been very helpful.
I wish to thank the Lions Club, Rod and Gun Club, Girl Scouts (both in the Center and in the Westlands), Boy Scouts, Girls' Club, Lowell Lodge of Elks, Christian Endeavor of First Presbyterian Church, Lowell, and all others who made possible a more happy Christmas for many people, and who kept alive the true Spirit of unstinted giving.
The Parent-Teacher Organizations go on doing their fine work, without advertisement or great acclaim; but those whom they benefit will always remember with appreciation their efforts to do good. I also wish to thank the School Committee, School Physicians, Parents, Teach- ers, and you Mr. Wright, for such excellent co-operation in every way during the year 1938.
Respectfully submitted,
MAE S. LEWIS, R. N.
School Nurse.
