MAINTENANCE PROJECTS
Besides these projects resulting from the decision to close the Manning building, the Committee has transferred certain lighting fixtures and other electrical equipment from the Manning to the Winthrop School; one of the boilers at the Winthrop School was retubed; and shaker grates, in place of the old stationary grates, were installed in the retubed boiler.
Other maintenance changes have been confined to those recurrent electrical, plumbing, glazing, and carpentry re- pairs essential to keeping the building in use.
ACTIVITIES OF THE SCHOOL BOARD
The following actions of the School Board during the year taken at random from the official record of the eighteen meetings are listed here for the public record :
1. Acceptance was made of the Abby L. Newman Scholar- ship Fund until the time of the Annual Town Meeting, when the town may vote to accept the bequest.
2. A meeting with the Clergymen of the town was held to discuss the possibilities of the continuance of the program of releasing children to attend their churches once a week for religious instruction. The Committee voted to permit grades VIII and IX to be released for this purpose.

3. The Payne School properties at Lord's Square were abandoned for school purposes, and the jurisdiction of the properties was returned to the Selectmen.
4. A survey by C. A. Waterman & Son, engineers, was ordered made of the Winthrop School heating plant.
5. The minimum age for admission into Grade I was reduced from six before January 1 of the year following the child's entrance into school to six before April 1 of the year following his entrance. This action is in the nature of a stop-gap. Whenever a pre-school kindergarten program ma- terializes in the Ipswich schools, the age for admission into Grade I will be raised.
6. The insurance schedule, adopted in 1940, was re- studied. A 20% increase in coverage was placed upon all buildings to cover appreciation in building values during the past four years.
7. A contract was made with the Massachusetts Audu- bon Society for a nature lore course in the elementary schools to be given by trained workers from the Society.
8. A study of school enrollments was made resulting in the closing of the Manning School building.
9. Arrangements were made with contractors for alter- ations occasioned by the above action.
10. Money was voted for alterations in building and for the purchase of equipment for a lunch room at the Win- throp School.
11. A Federal subsidy providing milk at the schools at $.02 a jar was accepted.
12. The Americanization Class program was continued.
17

13. Four new teachers were investigated and elected and four other teachers already in the school system were assigned to new duties.
14. As ground work for discussion of possible post-war projects, a report on school buildings was ordered in which special attention should be given to such matters :
(a) Inadequacies of lighting, health and sanitation.
(b) The need for the acquisition and development of larger and more useful playground areas around the schools.
(c) The adaptability of the buildings to kindergarten and other pre-school programs.
(d) The adaptabiilty of the buildings as centers for programs of adult education, with particular reference to the needs of returning veterans.
15. A study was ordered of the problems involved in the development and supervision of an adequate summer recreational program for the children of the community.
PUPIL PARTICIPATION IN WAR SERVICES
The following listing of typical activities carried on with- in the schools during the past year is indicative of the spirit in which the pupils are participating in the war effort:
1. $25,185.60 in war stamps and bonds have been sold to pupils through the schools during the year. Ipswich ranks 34th among the 225 towns in Massachusetts in per capita purchases since September.
2. More than one hundred and twenty thousand pounds of salvaged paper have been collected by the school children.
18
IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT
3. Seventy-five bags of milk weed pods for use in mak- ing life preservers have been collected and prepared for shipping.
4. Plans have been evolved between the schools and representatives of Sylvania Electric Company to help make available student labor for part-time war jobs.
5. The Junior Red Cross, conducted in all the schools, has supplied hundreds of useful articles to hospitalized sol- diers.
6. The schools have participated in the Red Cross, In- fantile Paralysis, and Tuberculosis Stamp drives.
7. The commercial department of the High School has mimeographed over 7,000 letters for various War Drives. A large number of these have been addressed by students in the typing classes.
8. The home making classes in the High School have carried on a project of canning fruits and vegetables brought in by pupils from their home gardens.
PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT AND CHILD WELFARE
The following is a listing of some of the activities of the schools during the year, relating to educational pro- grams and child welfare.
1. Fifteen teachers meetings have been held to discuss and to act upon problems of instruction and organization. Emphasis has been placed upon the integration of social studies, science, and reading in the elementary school pro- gram.
2. Members of the school staff have represented the schools in their field of educational endeavor at forty-three
19
IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT
different professional meetings convened outside of Ipswich from conferences of the teachers of the County to the Na- tional Assembly of School Administrators held in New York City.
3. Music appreciation, which became a part of the cur- riculum of the High School last year has been added to the program of the upper grades in the elementary schools, sup- plementing the instruction in choral music which has been traditionally given. For this purpose a library of some one hundred recordings have been collected. This library will be supplemented with other purchases in the future.
4. A program of physical education and health instruc- tion and a science program, built around the facilities avail- able at the High School, have been developed for Grade VIII.
5. In order to keep administrators and teachers more intimately and reliably acquainted with the continuing edu- cational development of each individual pupil and in order that instruction and guidance may be. better adapted to the changing interests, needs, and abilities of our high school students, the tests of educational development, evolved by the Chicago Research Associates, have been administered to Grades IX and XII of the High School. These tests have been machine-scored and the profile cards for each student returned to the school. These cards have become a part of the permanent office record. Copies are also in the hands of each student's counsellor. The forms for these tests are based on a sampling of over 50,000 high school students in 290 schools.
The results obtained among the seniors in our High School are as follows: in four areas, Social Studies back- ground, Natural Science background, Correctness in Writing, and Reading in the Natural Sciences, our median results are
.
20
IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT
higher than those of 50% of the schools tested. In three areas : Quantitative Thinking (mathematics), Reading in the Social Studies, and Uses of sources of Information, our me- dians were higher than those of 65% of the schools tested. In two areas: Literature (reading) and General Vocabulary, our median results were better than those of 87% of the schools tested.
Of course, any generalizations with reference to the school based upon such satistical generalizations are of doubtful value. The tests are useful only in so far as they can lay bare to the classroom teacher undiscovered capabilities or latent liabilities in the individual pupil's educational develop- ment, that the pupil may be aided to exploit the one and correct the other.
6. The information derived from these tests will be sup- plemented by a testing program in March, devised and ad- ministered by Boston University, Special Testing Service, to explore the vocational aptitudes and interest of our high school students of the XI and XII grades. The information derived from these tests is designed to supply, with reference to each student, information necessary to personal and voca- tional guidance in his post high school career.
7. The New Standford Achievement tests have been given in the elementary schools.
8. The equipment and materials necessary for giving the Massachusetts Vision Tests, which are more satisfactory than the old Snellen cards, have been purchased and are being used by the School Nurse for screening of vision defects.
9. Under the direction of the School Nurse, all children from Grade VI through the High School have been tested
21
IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT
with the audiometer machines loaned by the State Depart- ment. Parents of children with serious hearing loss have been notified and will be followed up by the School Nurse.
10. A program is planned to test all children in Grades VIII through XII, whose parents consent, with the Vollmer patch testing for tuberculosis and to provide free chest X-rays for those who react positively to the test.
11. A camera club meeting in the evening for students in the eighth grade through the High School has been estab- lished as an adjunct to the Science Department.
12. After a year of study of objectives by a committee of students and faculty, a student council was established in the High School.
13. A boys' choir became again one of the musical or- ganizations of the High School after a lapse of two years.
14. Sixteen seniors from the graduating class at the High School entered colleges and schools of higher learning. All except two of these were girls, most of the boys having been subject to prior call by the armed services.
15. To provide opportunities for children to receive warm lunches at noon, a lunch room, under the direction of Principal Atherley, was equipped and opened at the Winthrop School. Aided by a Federal subsidy, the lunch room is now feeding eighty children a day with a complete lunch, includ- ing milk, at a cost to the pupil of $.15 a meal.
16. The boys in the High School Shop classes have con- structed the lunch room furniture.

PUBLIC RELATIONS
To acquaint the public with school personnel and to bring it into closer contact with the schools, the following are some of the activities which the schools have sponsored :
1. Four Sunday afternoon Concerts have been given demonstrating the work in the musical organizations and classes in the High School. These concerts have become a very pleasant custom in Ipswich, each being attended by upwards of five hundred parents and friends of the public schools.
2. A Sunday Concert by choral groups in the elemen- tary schools has been planned to be given at the High School.
3. An exhibit has been held showing largely the work carried on in the girls' physical education classes, Grade VIII - Grade XII.
4. Fifteen inter-school athletic contests have been played by boys' teams at the school.
5. Exhibits have been given of the work accomplished in the fine and applied arts.
(a) The theme of the practical arts exhibit was the application of authentic colonial design and craftsmanship to the decoration of a home.
(b) The exhibit of home making classes consisted in a demonstration of the accomplishment in dressmaking, tailor- ing, and the culinary arts.
(c) The fine arts exhibit consisted in a showing of the work executed in various mediums (crayon, water color, oil, block printing, and book making) in classes throughout the schools.
6. At these exhibits members of the Rotary Club and the Directors of the Chamber of Commerce were entertained
·

and instructed with reference to the objectives which the schools were striving to attain in these fields.
7. Besides these special programs, each school has held several visiting days during which special programs were offered to acquaint parents with the teachers and apprise them of the work of the schools.
8. A pre-school round-up was conducted by the nurse and school doctor.
9. The Teachers Club has sponsored four public meetings, the largest of which was the reception to Miss Sullivan, attended by more than seven hundred people.
10. The Rudkin Book Review Series has also been con- tinued.
CONCLUSION
Many of the things in this haphazard listing, which could be prolonged interminably, would seem to be unrelated to the routines traditionally associated with schools, and some would appear to result in overmuch diffusion of effort. They in- dicate, however, something of the scope of the responsibili- ties that have come under the jurisdiction of the public schools. And most of them have been carefully considered in relation to their contribution to the attainment of the objectives of public school, some of which have been discussed in previ- ous reports.
Against cohesion of effort toward the attainment of these ends, there have, of course, been many distracting in- fluences. New teachers have had to be absorbed into the organization, while many teachers, who have been in Ipswich for some time, have been assigned duties in new situations to which they are unaccustomed. All teachers and school
24
IPSWICH SCHOOL REPORT
custodians alike have assumed tedious responsibilities occa- sioned by our participation in the war effort; and many, who are responsible for educational activities beyond the routines of the classroom, have taken upon themselves a burden of detail and clerical work, foreign to the operation of schools a few years ago.
In addition to these things, war tension has been more evident among people of school age than among other groups. Particularly is this true with reference to youths and adoles- cents, many of whom are extending themselves in work and in play to the liimt of their nervous systems to recuperate. Bombarded by conflicting stimuli from radio, press, and pic- tures and harrassed by undeclared anxieties, these young people need, above all other things these strenuous days, guidance in their personal problems and help in formulating values by which to live. To satisfy this need, teachers in common with others who deal with youth, have been obligated, more than ever before, to act with wisdom, with friendliness and tact, and with courage to exercise firmness where duty seems to demand it.
Adjustment to these changes and new obligations have been made, successfully, as it seems to me, with a minimum of friction and with cheerful subordination of self interest to the good of the whole school program. Not a little of this effect is attributable to you, the School Board, who, officially for your fellow townsmen, have given many expres- sions of confidence in the possibiliites of the Public Schools. Your attitude has inspired in those of us who work in the schools professionally, a humility born of the desire to see that confidence justified.
Respectfully submitted,
HARRY S. MERSON,
Superintendent of Schools
