Both Mr. Jones of the State Department and Dr. Thayer recommend attention to the lighting and heating of classrooms, as well as to the sanitary conditions. The walls and ceilings should be painted in lighter colors and more lighting outlets provided, with indirect or semi-indirect fixtures.


Special thanks and appreciation are due those who have contributed during the year to the success of the schools. These include the Parent-Teacher Association, The Grange, the Girls' Club and Mrs. J. H. Hallock of Worcester who presented a piano to the West Rutland school. Books were presented to the high school by Chaplain Hayes and Dr. Lapham gave prizes in connection with the Speaking Contest in the high school.


The actual cost of cur schools last year was $25,964.35 and of this amount the reimbursements from the State and other sources were :


Part I. Income Tax $2,360 95


Part II. School Fund 4,624 29


Supt's salary 386 67


High School Aid 800 00


Tuition : State Wards 148 95


Tuition : Oakham 408 00


$8,728 87


10


This leaves a net cost of $17,235.48 or about $550.00 less than during the previous year, or a net cost per pupil of $72.72 in high school and the grades.


In the death of Dr. Lapham the schools as well as the town have suffered an irreparable loss. For many years hc devoted much time and careful study to the needs of the schools and the welfare of all Rutland children. Wise in counsel, always chari- table and sympathetic, he was a loyal personal friend and a firm believer in the public school as an institution for building good citizenship and character.


May I call attention to the reports and statistics that fol- low, and in closing express my sincere appreciation for the loyal support of all connected with the schools.


Respectfully submitted,


JAMES R. CHILDS,


Superintendent of Schools.

REPORT OF THE HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL


To the Superintendent :


The high school enrollment this year is the highest it has ever been, reaching a total membership of fifty. Two members, however, left school before January 1st, making the enrollment now forty eight pupils (20 boys and 28 girls). This enrollment is eight more than a year ago. The Senior Class numbers eleven pupils, one boy and ten girls.


Although three members of the faculty are new to the high school this September, the work carried on by them is of high order. A second year in the study of Household Arts has been added to the program of studies and I wish to call your atten- tion to the report given by Miss Whitman who is in charge of this department. The addition of some course in Practical Arts would be of great value to many boys attending high school. Many of them would be helped by a little technical and manual rather than strictly academic training. It is unfortunate that so few boys reach the Senior Class.


I am very glad to state that the Worcester Polytechnic In- stitute has again granted Rutland High School the certificate privilege and that the New England College Entrance Certifi- cate Board has accepted my application for the specimen privil- ege in certifying students for college.


Among the new books recently added to the reference libra- ry are ten volumes of Compton's Pictured Encyclopedia donat- ed by the Rutland Girls Club and twelve volumes of "America"" presented to the school by Chaplain Wallace Hayes in behalf of the Veterans of Foreign Wars.

The large number of grammar school pupils using the North Rutland and West Rutland busses have necessitated the appointment of a safety patrol in order to prevent accidents. The high school boys appointed to take care of the North Rut- land line are Alfred Krizinowek, Robert Marsh, and Charles Bigelow while Fenner Thornton, Frank Chapin, and George Grapes have charge of the West Rutland line.


The extra curricula activities consisting of athletics, prize speaking, and dramaties, are being carried on as they have been in the past. In regard to athletics, the girls basketball team made an excellent record last year, losing only one game and that to Ware the state champions. The outlook for this year is very bright because every member is again available. Miss Emeline Amidon is coaching the girls' team this year. The boys teams have been handicaped by the failure of many of the boys to reach the Junior and Senior years.


Prize speaking cups donated by the Rutland Grange and the Rutland Parent Teacher Association were won by Rena Alinovi and Francis Wales. Second prizes were won by Evelyn Myers and Charles Bigelow, who were presented two dollar and a half gold-pieces donated by Dr. George N. Lapham and the Rutland Girls Club.


High school plays this year are under the direction of Miss Elith Anderson of the faculty. As in the past, two plays will be given, the first, "Oh Kay", to be put on about the first of Feb -. ruary for the benefit of athletics and the second to be given in the spring for the benefit of the Senior Class.


The publication of the school magazine last June was ano- ther extra curricula activity which made its appearance after a lapse of several years. "The Rambler" was very good for the first number and the editorial staff appreciated the support


13


given by the business men who purchased space for advertise- ments.


For the past three years, a student council has been in existence to conduct student business meetings, to appoint as- sembly committees, and to co-operate with the principal in the solution of school problems. The members of the council at the present time are Lillian Chapin, President, Marion Bigelow, Secretary and Treasurer, Alfred Krzinowek, Rena Alinovi, and Elizabeth Wales.


In closing this report, I wish to thank the Parent Teacher Association for their valuable help given the school in many ways. To conduct a dental clinic is no small responsibility but they have done it well.


I wish to thank also the School Committee, Superintendent, and Teachers for their help and co-operation.


Respectfully submitted,


EDMUND D. KELSEY, Principal.

REPORT OF THE HOME ECONOMICS COMMITTEE


To the Superintendent of Schools :


Home Economics, although the newest of the courses offered in Rutland, is more vocational in its nature than any other course in the High School. It is very closely correlated with Health, Science and Art. All the girls in the Freshman and Sophomore classes and three Juniors are enrolled making a total of fifteen girls. Since this is entirely an elective course it is evident that the girls really desire it.


The work is divided into two large units, food study and preparation, and clothing appreciation and construction. As well as the usual "sewing and cooking" we include a study of the home itself. some problems of home makers, a brief study of textiles, care of clothing, nutrition and meal planning.


The aims of the department are :


1. To develop a knowledge and appreciation of quality in textiles and food material.


2. To develop skill and technique, (the actual sewing and cooking.)


3. To study the fundamentals of meal planning and nutrition.


4. To study line and color in relation to clothing and the home.


5. To study foods and clothing from the viewpoint of health and thrift.


6. To help the girls prepare themselves for a life of greater usefulness to themselves and others.


15


Miss Hyde and her assistants made a fine start and we are hoping for another successful year.


I wish to thank all those who have helped with this work, especially the superintendent, principal, janitor, and parents, for their fine cooperation.


Respectfully submitted, DORIS V. WHITMAN,

REPORT OF THE MUSIC SUPERVISOR


To the Superintendent :


The music in Rutland has gone forward during the past year.


In the Spring, representatives were sent to Holden to participate in the Musicale, as in the previous year. Soon after, the grammar school presented a concert in Rutland which was very similar to the one in Holden. Many folk songs were sung and the rhythm orchestra played. It was a fine experience for the boys and girls, especially since everyone took part.


This fall a violin class was organized and it is making good progress. Classes meet in the kitchen and parents are always welcome to visit. It is a splendid thing, to give the boys and girls this opportunity.


The Christmas Carol Concert was enjoyed by the singers as well as the listeners. Since there are so many beautiful carols, each year we devote the several weeks before Christ- mas to them. We review the familiar ones, and learn others which are new to us but old enough to have proved their value. When these are learned, we enjoy them so much that we desire to share them. The concert gave us this opportunity last month. This, as well as the Spring concert should become an annual event.


I thank the teachers for their friendly cooperation.


MARY R. SPOFFORD.

REPORT OF THE DRAWING SUPERVISOR


To the Superintendent of Schools:


The work in drawing has been carried on under the same general outline used in the past two years. To add variety and retain interest, new projects which give training in the use of the same principles have been presented. The nature work has aroused new interest because of the use of pastel crayons. The study of the flower has been followed by free-hand ori- ginal pattern work, based on that particular plant shape. This original pattern work has been done from the second grade through the upper grades, and has shown most interesting results.


Since lettering is one of the most important phases of our training more time has been spent on the study of different types of lettering.


It has been interesting to note the development of the ability to express ideas by posters aided by the annual "Pre- vention of Cruelty to Animals" poster contest. Probably the making of posters is one of the most valuable of all art projects to the average child. One poster may involve several important principles of composition, lettering, color harmony, perspec- tive, foreshortening, shading design, originality, and gives training in a variety of mediums. We are glad of added in- terest, and hope our boys and girls will show even greater improvement in the approaching contest.


We wish to express our thanks for the interest shown by the supplying of materials with which to carry on our work. I also wish to extend sincere appreciation of the co- operation of the teachers.

To the Superintendent of Schools :


The following report covers the period from September 1, 1930 to January, 1931.


Dr. Thayer has completed the annual physical examina- tions and the children have been weighed and measured twice since school began.


On September 19, 1930 the "Ten Year Program" con- ducted by the State Department of Health tested and X-rayed the children whose names had been carried over from last year. And on October 14, 1930, Dr. Martin from this depart- ment did physical examinatons on these children and was as- sisted by a nutritionist who talked with the children and parents or older sisters.


The following is the report on the results of the clinic :


Number of children recommended for re- examination 8


Number of children re-examined. 3


Number of children found to be im- proved 3

I wish to thank all who in any way helped to make this clinic a success.

This was done at the Holden Hospital


This clinic was financed by the Rutland Parent-Teacher Association.


Hot lunches have just been introduced into the schools by the Parent-Teacher Association and are served at noon when the children have their noon day meal. There is a very mini- mum charge for this.


The Parent-Teacher Association has also started work on furnishing one of the small rooms at the West Rutland school


20


for a rest room for the teachers, and to care for sick children should the occasion arise. Up to this time there has been no way of caring for a sick child or teacher at this building.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN


To the Superintendent of Schools :


Details of the health work in the schools of Rutland will be found in the report of the School Nurse.


I wish to call attention to certain undesirable conditions which I have noticed and which should be corrected. Sanitary paper cups would be preferable to the present drinking fount- ain. There should be disinfectants in the lavatories. Thẻ teachers should make every effort to follow up physical de- fects and encourage treatment wherever possible. The interiors of both buildings should be painted.


Respectfully submitted,


ROCKWOOD H. THAYER, M. D.
