proved. The other extensions were not as large and were financed by the Town through the tax levy. The Little Neck extension was financed by the Water Department by the bor- rowing of $15,000 on fifteen-year notes. The debt oustanding in the department has therefor reached a figure that prohibits the borrowing of any further money for these purposes.
In November the Board of Selectmen notified the Water and Light Commission that it desired the use of the room in the Town Hall building used as the office of the Water and Light Department for other Town purposes and requested that the commission move in to the brick building at the rear of the Town Hall on Elm street. This was done as soon as possible and on February 15, 1939, the office in the Town Hall build- ing was vacated.

IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of Ipswich :
Your School Committee takes this opportunity of reporting the physical activities of the department for the year 1938.
The Project of painting the Central group of build- ings is being done by the W.P.A. under the direction of the local Coordinator. This work is not entirely com- pleted, but when weather conditions permit, the work will be completed. The trimmings on the Burley, Shatswell and High Schools need painting and we hope for an additional W.P.A. Project for this work.
The grounds about the High School have been land- scaped through the courtesy of the Ipswich Garden Club. Trees and shrubbery were furnished by the Ipswich Fruit Growers Association and were planted around the High School, under the direction of the Garden Club and Mr. Gardner Caverly. This has materially improved the ap- pearance of the grounds and building.
The continued increase in enrollment of the new High School proves its necessity. There are thirty-five more pupils this year than there were last year. Because of a falling off of enrollment in the Elementary grades and an increase in High School, we found it neces- sary to transfer one eighth grade teacher to the High School and also assign the Grammar School Domestic

IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT
Science teacher two periods daily at the High School. In making these transfers it was not necessary to employ new teachers which of course materially saves in the cost of operation.
The past few years we have had no Art Instructor in the system. Because of the necessity of this work and the qualifications of Miss Zelda Hayes for this work, we transferred her to this department without employing a new teacher. Thus the teaching staff remains the same in number as before. These teacher transfers were made necessary in order to maintain our High School as a Class A rated school, otherwise the classes would be larger than the State allows under our former teaching staff. With the Class A standing, our High School stu- dents are allowed to enter College and other institutions without examination if their credits are up to the College Board certification standards.
The cost of operating our Schools is the largest single Town Department expenditure. The taxpayers at the Annual Meeting appropriated $102,377.25. However the reimbursements to the Town from the State, Rowley tuition and other sources for 1938 were $20,112.16. De- ducting these reimbursements from the appropriation leaves a net cost to the taxpayers of $82,265.09, a fact which most citizens do not consider when discussing school appropriations. The net cost per pupil to the Town on this year's expenditure is $65.92, as compared with $67.98 last year. In looking over State reports we find that Ipswich per capita cost is lower than the average for the State.
Your School Committee has tried to operate as eco- nomically as possible and they will continue to do so during the coming year.

We want to take this opportunity to thank the Ips- wich Garden Club, the Fruit Growers Association, the Welfare Department, the local Coordinator and all those who by their co-operation have helped to make this past year a successful one.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
To the School Committee,
Ipswich, Mass.
The thirty-seventh report from the office of the Su- perintendent of Schools follows, to which is added cer- tain data about the schools.
ELECTIONS AND APPOINTMENTS
Miss Violet Hawkins who was granted sick leave for the school year of 1937-38 returned. Miss Ruth B. Ar- thur resigned in June. Miss Alice Yagjian was appointed to the Commercial Department. Mr. Charles Avada- nian went to Malden. Mr. Arthur Danielson was ap- pointed in his place as Manual Training Teacher. In May, 1938, Miss Florence Forsyth resigned to go to Arlington. Mrs. Helen B. Fitzgerald was elected as substitute for the remainder of that school year. In June Mrs. Fitzgerald was elected as the regular teacher of Domestic Science in the elementary schools.
Due to a heavy enrollment at the Shatswell, Grade One was again divided and Miss Sophie Kobos was put in charge. Miss Alice Ciolek was assigned to the Seventh Grade because of the size of the class.
The additional enrollment in the High School of thirty-five more pupils this year, made a re-assignment of teachers neces- sary. Miss Elizabeth Glover, an eighth grade teacher, was as-
9
IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT
signed to work in History, English, and Commercial Geography. Mrs. Lena J. Atherly was transferred from Grade Seven to Grade Eight. The children in the extra Grade One at the Shatswell living nearer to the Burley and Payne Schools than the Shatswell were transferred to those schools and the extra First Grade at the Shatswell was discontinued. The teacher, Miss Sophie Kobos was assigned to Grade Seven.
Due to the number of pupils electing the household arts and domestic science at the High School, and in order to make it possible for the sophomore girls to con- tinue their work in this department, Mrs. Helen Fitzger- ald, the Elementary school teacher of household arts, was assigned to the High School for two periods daily.
ART EDUCATION
Miss Zelda Hayes was appointed Art Supervisor for the Elementary Grades. This next fall her program will include an elective course at the High School. The work of this department is very valuable and is being well administered.
This rather lengthy explanation is given to show that there were no additions to the staff of teachers asıde from the transfer of Miss Hayes from a Grade position to the work in art.
AMERICANIZATION CLASSES
Jennie A. Johnson, Sophie Kobos, Teachers
The Americanization Classes this year have the largest enrollment in their history - namely - 88 mem- bers. The age range is from 17 to 74 years.
10
IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT
45 are enrolled in Miss Johnson's class.
43 are enrolled in Miss Kobos' class.
There are 11 American citizens in both classes. Evening School has helped these people to become Ameri- can citizens. They are continuing their attendance be- cause they find it worth their while.
An unusual amount of interest is shown by the stu- dents who wish to become American citizens. There are 42 students who have taken out their first papers. The advantages of American citizenship seem to play an im- portant role in creating this interest. The pupils see the necessity for a knowledge of English. Many realize they are making the United States of America their per- manent home, and choose the work of the Evening School as the best way of preparing themselves for the social, economic, and cultural aspects of American life. In so doing, they are trying hard to contribute to Ameri- can culture and ideals, and, at the same time, find their places in the civic and political life of the community, state, and nation. It is an inspiration to see how ear- nestly and diligently the students apply themselves at the evening school.
The racial enrollments in these classes are as follows :
42 Polish
24 French
16 Greek
3 Italian
1 Portuguese
1 Armenian
1 Russian
11
IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT
The courses of study offered in the Americanization Classes are as follows :
1. English
2. Hygiene
3. Spelling
4. Reading
5. History
6. Civics and citizenship
7. Patriotic Songs
Plans are being made throughout the state for a Washington, D. C., Pilgrimage on March 10, 11, 12, 1939, for as many of the Americanization Classes as are able to go. Both classes in Ipswich are vitally interested in this trip and are making efforts towards sending repre- sentatives on this pilgrimage.
BUILDINGS
Government projects have been approved for paint- ing inside and out of our various buildings. The work on the Winthrop and Manning Schools has been started and when completed, these buildings will be in very good condition.
HEALTH WORK
The various state and local clinics have been very capably carried on by Dr. Frank L. Collins and Miss Muriel E. Riley, who was appointed to succeed Miss Madeline E. Bailey. This department has been aided in its work by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. This society has provided many pairs of glasses for children who needed better vision. We wish
12
IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT
to thank all who have helped in assisting the nurse and the schools in caring for our children. We particularly wish to thank all of the local organizations for their con- tinued support of the nursery school, which is under the direction of Miss Catherine Comeau. This department is not directly under the health department but the care of these children during their early years, will do much to insure their success when they enter Grade One.
HIGH SCHOOL
The addition of one more full time teacher and the two periods extra in the Domestic Science, have done considerable to lighten the teaching load on all of the teachers in the High School. School spirit is awakening. Participation by the pupils in school affairs should create a feeling of responsibility in a great many of the pupils. This is particularly necessary for those who wish to enter college, whether it be to train for business or the pro- fessions. The pupils themselves and their parents should have even more responsibility than the teachers in ac- cepting the hard work that is necessary all through High School. Our High School can put the graduates of our High School into any college by certification and without examination. if they obtain a mark of "B" or better in ali subjects, and are in the upper seventh of the graduating class. But the pupils must assume their own share of the responsibility in securing and maintaining a high standard of attainment.
One of the finest opportunities for group education in our High School comes through the use of the audi- torium for assemblies, musical work, athletics and public entertainment. The work in the preparation of the stage settings and school plays has been under the direction of Mr. Harry Merson. This work is very valuable edu- cationally. The school programs and plays produced have been very fine and are thoroughly appreciated.
13
IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT
The manual training shop and the domestic science courses, the commercial departments, as well as work in college preparation all offer a chance and a challenge. It is our feeliing that the High School staff and our High School building are doing a great deal for the fathers and mothers of Ipswich who made it all possible.
ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS
The work of the elementary teachers deserves our commendation. There is a better spirit evidenced by the pupils. A feeling of friendship and thoughtfulness of each other exists between the teachers and their pupils. This makes for success.
The citizens should be interested in knowing about us and should visit the schools during regular sessions. They are always welcome. We all seek for success, the teachers, as well as the pupils, and the parents. We all hope for self realization. But we must not forget that as we think about preparation for future activities that we may defeat ourselves by weakening our concern for the child as he is now, a growing, individual, human being.
The impact of education on the varying developing personalities of our children should lead all of us to place human welfare on the summit of our scale of values. We hope the school life will help in the development of the home and family and community life and that the pa- rental influence on the children will aid us in our school life. I would urge upon everyone concerned with the educa- tion of our children that education is a civic responsibility. It is the responsibility of the schools in particular. We
14
IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT
hope to help the young citizens of Ipswich discover the knowledge which will enable them to discharge their civic duties.
May we all try to realize that the educated citizen should understand what our school and community and democratic ideals mean and that all of us ought to give calm, unanswering loyalty to them.
I believe our teachers are teaching for true American ideals and it is our wish to publicly extend our apprecia- tion to them for the good work done in our schools and also to thank them for their splendid co-operation during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
N. N. LOVE, Superintendent.

IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT
A STATEMENT RELATIVE TO NO-SCHOOL SIGNALS
The following are the signals to be used which are also listed in the Town Report.
4 blasts of the fire whistle with the street lights on for 5 minutes at 7:30 means-
NO SCHOOL - ALL SCHOOLS - ALL DAY (with radio announcement if possible)
4 blasts of the fire whistle with the street lights on for 5 minutes at 8:00 A.M. means-
NO SCHOOL-FIRST 8 GRADES FOR THE MORNING SESSION
If the whistle sounded at 8 o'clock
4 blasts of the whistle with the lights at 11:30 A.M. means-
.
NO AFTERNOON SESSION FOR THE FIRST EIGHT GRADES
If the whistle does not sound and the lights do not come on at 11:30, the school busses will appear at ap- proximately as many minutes before the opening of the schools in the afternoon as they do in the morning. For example : if the school bus appears at your home at 8:15 or 30 minutes before school opens in the morning the school bus should appear about 12:45 (a quarter of an hour before 1 o'clock) or 30 minutes before 1:15 the time of opening in the afternoon.
If the whistle sounded at 7:30 for no school, all schools, all day, whistle will not sound at 11:30.
If school was in session in the morning and if for any reason is to be dismissed for the afternoon, pupils will be informed in their various rooms.
20
IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT
If a storm should break during the noon hour after dismissal at noon 4 blasts of the whistle will be given with the lights on at 12:30 P.M.
Obviously we cannot blow the no-school signals for every storm. Parents should reserve the right to keep their children home in stormy weather, if in their own judgment they feel that the pupils ought not to go out.
