The new two room school building will soon be ready to occupy and then the town will have a very efficient school system.


However the equipment for home economics and chem- istry is lacking in efficiency in face of rapidly growing High School classes. This condition should be remedied as soon as possible.


The committee appreciates the cooperation of the finance committee in the betterment of schools. We also wish to ex- press our appreciation to our Teachers and Superintendent for their continued interest in this development.

Report of the Superintendent of Schools


To the School Committee of Rutland :


The report presented herewith for your consideration is the thirty-ninth in the series since the formation of the pres- ent school union and the twenty-first by the writer. It in- cludes the usual statistics for reference. Fortunately for the success and real progress of the students we have had very few teacher changes, one in the high school and one in the grades. Miss Knox resigned to be married after four years of successful experience in the high school, and Miss Grace Carroll of Grade Five, also to be married. Miss Martha Sand- berg of Lynn was elected to teach English and Home Eco- nomics and Miss Helen Webber of Rutland to teach Grade Five. There have been very few interruptions of our school program this past year and I feel that all our teachers are giv- ing good service. Their interest and loyalty are attested by 100 per cent membership in State and National Professional Organizations and by the number who attend summer school and take in-service professional study courses. I believe we should adopt the practice of salary increment for all such study on some basis satisfactory to Committee and teachers.


The outstanding feature of the school year was the deci- sion of the voters to build a two-room school at the Center for Grades I and II, and to build a new Town Hall so that the present building, after some remodeling, might house Grades III through XII. We anticipate much better housing condi- tions and a more efficient organization of both the elementary and the high school. I should like to repeat my former sug- gestion that we add practical arts courses in Grades VII through XII, and make a special appropriation for reference books each year.


7


The health program has been carried on by all our teachers and by the School Nurse. Her report of the service of the various clinics is most enlightening. We now have modern equipment for testing sight and hearing, the Maico audiometer and the Keystone Telebinocular. I would sug- gest that we try to find a secondhand dentist chair to save transportation and expense under the present arrangement.


With Mr. Hempel located at the Center and in charge of all the Grades we are ready to consider a different organiza- tion, along the lines of the six-three-three plan or the six-two- four. Departmental work can be extended, a testing program mapped out, and remedial work planned for those who need it. We should adopt a marking system that will place less em- phasis on percentages, eliminate comparisons, and recognize attitudes and effort in terms of the individual. A recent re- port shows that "pupils in the so-called Progressive schools scored higher than those in traditional schools in knowledge of current affairs and people, honesty, cooperation, leader- ship, ability in creative writing and art, critical thinking, breadth of interests. In the traditional school pupils knew more about the rules of health, but Progressive pupils were huskier and healthier." These "progressive" achievements are essential to good citizenship. Industry, promptness, neat- ness and accuracy are desirable qualities in any person, but even more valuable are the qualities of originality, enterprise, self-reliance, reliability, and scholarship alone is inadequate to "the good life."'


Our teachers attended two Institutes conducted by the Department of Education, one in March at Rutland and one in October at West Boylston. They assisted the Superintendent in preparing a Rural School Survey and Questionnaire sent out by the Department, carried out a successful Teachers' Club program and attended the County Convention at Worces- ter. We are grateful to those who have carried on 4-H Club and Scouting activities for our boys and girls during the year. Some of our pupils took part in the Spelling Bee conducted in April by one of the Worcester papers.


8


Your attention is called to the reports of the School Nurse and the Principal of the high school. We have the largest attendance in the history of the high school and a larger total enrollment than ever before. This naturally means that our schools cost more, but we receive more State Aid and our cost per pupil is still considerably under the average for the State. We now have three students attending Trade School and the State pays one half of their tuition.


May I again express my sincere appreciation of the loyal support and fine cooperation of teachers and pupils, and the many hours of study given in service of the schools by the Committee.


Respectfully submitted,


JAMES R. CHILDS.

REPORT OF THE HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL


To the Superintendent of Schools :


The total membership in the high school during the fall term ending December 1938 was eighty-one students, an increase of three over the previous school year and registering again a new high total. A large entering class consisting of twenty-eight pupils was responsible for the increase. To show how the increased enrollment has affected our seating problem and the purchasing of books, a few years ago our larger classes numbered fifteen to twenty students but now it is not uncommon to have twenty-five to thirty students in a class. This year the chemistry class numbers thirty-six and Mr. Anderton is teaching two divisions.


When the new two-room school building is completed and the first and second grades have moved to their new quarters, the high school will have sufficient room for its classes and will be able to take care of still larger enrollments. At the present time, the small commercial room in the basement is under a handicap in trying to accommodate large classes during some of the periods. The use of the first grade room will clear up this situation.


The household arts department, however, has suffered a greater handicap because it has relinquished its new labora- tory temporarily to the seventh grade and hence, the clothing classes have met in the upper hall wherever space permitted.


I realize it takes time to construct a new building and we are willing to be patient while changes are being made. The changes made last summer in the rooms of the basement have been helpful in increasing our efficiency this year and we are pleased with the improvements. The addition of the two outside vestibules have kept the basement comfortable this winter.


During the summer, work was not completed in the science room, the household arts room, and the girls locker room and I hope the budget this coming year will provide for the


10


purchasing of the equipment needed in these rooms. Included in the plans for reorganization I would like to see some pro- vision for the teaching of practical art courses to be made available for boys. Home economics is available for the girls but no similar practical course is open for the boys.


In regard to extra-curricular activities. the possession of the Western Worcester County League's Sportsmanship Trophy for the year 1938 should be mentioned. At the end of the basketball season, the schools in the league vote in regard to sportsmanship. considering the attitude of the coaches. the teams. and the spectators as each town is visited. We are proud to state that Rutland High School won this worth-while trophy and will do their best to keep it another year.


Special awards presented during commencement last June were as follows :


Washington and Franklin medal for excellence in the study of United States history :


Salvatore F. Matta


State Department of Education medal for the best essay concerning the Constitution Sesquicentennial :


Phyllis C. Wales


Legion medal for character and all-around ability : Rollin M. Wheeler


Auxiliary medal for character and all-around ability : Frances J. Coffin


Becker College Key for excellence in the study of com- mercial subjects :


Rita G. Carroll


In closing this report. I wish to thank all those who have contributed in helping the work of the school. The installation of the new heating system and the improvements in the building as a result of remodeling have placed the condition of the school far ahead of that previous to 1937.


Respectfully submitted.


EDMUND D. KELSEY.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL NURSE


To the Superintendent of Schools :


This report covers the period from January to December 1938.


Pre-school vaccination and examination clinic by Doctor Mayo, school physician was held in May with eighteen of the twenty-two pre-school children attending.


The pre-school child is coming forward to take the hand of the baby and the school child as an object of school health endeavor. Decay and premature loss of baby teeth, diseased tonsils and adenoids, malnutrition and bad mental habits have been proved to exercise serious effect upon the body of the child and every parent should attempt to correct these defects before the child enters school.


The children have been weighed and measured four times during the year. A small but steady gain is a sign of normal growth. Cleanliness, rest, fresh air and nourishing foods are discussed at this time.


Tonsil clinic, by Doctor Rice at the Holden Hospital was conducted in June, and seven attended.


One child benefited greatly from an eight week stay at Sum- mer Health Camp. This was made possible by the local sale of Christmas Seals.


Annual physicals completed in September proved the worthi- ness of previous recommendations and clinics. The eradication of remedial defects has raised the level of the school children physically.


The Glidden Clinic scheduled for October, has been post- poned until April. Effort will be made to have every high school pupil tested for susceptibility to tuberculosis. This disease is a waiting health enemy of every adolescent. All forces must combine to wipe out this insidious disease.


12


Hygienic conditions at the center school have greatly im- proved with the new sanitary equipment of last year.


We cannot control any epidemic without the parents' co- operation. The prolonged epidemic of mumps has shown con- siderable laxity. We again emphasize the importance of re- porting immediately each case to the Local Board of Health. No child will be re-admitted to school without proper cer- tificate.


The modern conviction that the so-called "childrens' diseases" are not mere nuisances to be endured but possible menaces to adult health which should and can be avoided. Damaging consequences may manifest themselves long after apparent recovery.


Doctor Bessie Scott opened the dental clinic in November. Because of the large number attending it will be necessary to carry this clinic over until January.


Much credit must be extended to those who have made it possible to add to our health equipment, the audiometer for ear testing and the telebinocular for eye testing. With this equipment handicapped children may be discovered readily and school work problems eliminated because of ear and eye defects.


Upon all home calls the parents have shown real interest and the link between home and school should be the strongest, for both are working for the common good of the child.


I wish to thank the local Red Cross, always ready and will- ing to assist financially any child in need of medical, surgical and nutritional care.


I also wish to thank the teachers and everyone who has helped throughout the year to make my work effective and pleasant.


Respectfully submitted,


EVELYN E. CROSSLEY R.N.

REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN


To the Superintendent of Schools :


The following is a brief report of my work as school physician in the past year :


During the second semester last year the schools of the district were visited with the school nurse for the purpose of sanitary inspection. Just before school closed in June, vaccination clinics for pre-school children were held in the Rice, Jefferson and Chaffin schools of Holden, and in the High School at Rutland. A clinic was likewise held at Paxton and Oakham. Parents were, at this time, afforded the opportunity of having any child of pre-school age vaccinated. The children who were to enter school in September were given a physical examination.


During September and October, each pupil was given a physical examination at their respective schools.


There have been two epidemics of contagious diseases in the district during the past year. Last Spring, there were several cases of scarlet fever in Holden, and this Fall and early Winter there have been many cases of mumps both in school children and adults in Rutland. May I urge parents to report any known contagious disease and to call their physician when one is suspected.


Sincerely yours,


LEROY E. MAYO, M. D.
