TOWN OF RUTLAND


The financial records of the town clerk were examined and checked. The collections on account of dog and sporting licenses were verified and checked with the payments to the town and the State.


In addition to the departments mentioned, the books and accounts of all other departments collecting money for the town or committing bills for collection were examined. The recorded collections were checked with the payments to the treasurer and the cash on hand was verified.


The surety bonds of the officials required by law to fur- nish them were examined and found to be in proper form.


In addition to the balance sheet referred to, there are ap- pended to this report tables showing a reconciliation of the treasurer's cash, summaries of the tax, tax title, departmental, and water accounts, as well as tables showing the condition and transactions of the trust funds.


For the cooperation extended by the various town of- ficials during the progress of the audit, I wish, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, to express appreciation.


Respectfully submitted, HERMAN B. DINE, Assistant Director of Accounts

ANNUAL REPORT


Report of School Committee


To the Citizens of the Town of Rutland :


The Committee organized the first of the year with Mr. Lawrence Smith as chairman, Mrs. Margaret Griffin as clerk, and Mr. Frank Bracebridge the third member. Mr. John Collins agreed to act as truant officer to assist Mr. Mark Read.


The Water Department has corrected a long bothersome problem of low water pressure in the school building. New paint on the large school has made a wonderful improvement and we plan to have the small school painted in the Spring.


There are three new teachers in the High School this year, Mr. Paul McMahon, Miss Mary Houlihan, and Miss F. Ethel Cavanaugh. Mr. Carl Hempel has returned from mili- tary service, to be appointed principal of the Grade School and teacher of Grade Eight. Other new teachers in the Grade School are Miss Nancy Doolittle in Grade Seven, and Mrs. Eileen Buckley in Grade Six. The Committee has voted an increase in salary for all teachers for 1947.


Hot lunches for the children have been discussed by the Committee and we sincerely hope to have some definite ac- tion taken in regard to them during 1947.


We have had visits from a few of the parents with prob- lems which we hope have been settled satisfactorily. We in- vite such visits to promote a better understanding between home and school.


Again this year we wish to express our sincere appreciation to our Superintendent and teachers for their splendid cooperation.

ANNUAL REPORT


Report of the Superintendent of Schools


Holden, Mass., December 31, 1946


To the School Committee of Rutland :


This report is the forty-seventh in the series since the formation of the present School Union No. 31, and the twenty- ninth by the writer. The statistics which follow serve for the record and to indicate changes in enrollment and the teach- ing staff.


In spite of unusual conditions facing the public schools and the many problems created by the scarcity of teachers and the difficulty of securing adequate supplies and text- books, the Committee has been very successful in maintain- ing the school program without serious interruptions. It is generally known that a serious emergency exists in the whole field of education. Substantial increases in salaries are neces- sary if we are to attract and hold capable and well trained men and women for teaching. It is gratifying to report that the Rutland Committee has taken action to this end, and we earnestly hope for the wholehearted support of the citizens. There will be bills before the next legislature asking for more state aid for schools. This seems to be the solution of the problem facing us.


There were changes in teaching personnel during the year. In the high school the new teachers are Paul J. Mc- Mahon, Mary E. Houlihan and F. Ethel Cavanaugh. In the grades Miss Withstandley was transferred to Grade II, Miss Nancy Doolittle was appointed to Grade VII, and Mrs. Eileen F. Buckley to Grade VI. Mr. Hempel returned to his position as Principal and teacher of Grade VIII, after extended mili- tary service. Dr. Mayo has resumed his work as School Phy- sician after a leave of absence, also in military service. Miss Cecilia E. Hall was appointed Art Supervisor.


A start has been made toward grading the playground and alterations and repairs in the main building were made to conform to state law. The shelter over the entrance is a


96


TOWN OF RUTLAND


great improvement. We should install the exit lights and add several lighting outlets. The exterior of the main building has been painted and plans are underway for painting the little building. We need room and equipment for practical arts, especially for the boys. The course in mechanical draw- ing has proven its value, and we have opened Household Arts courses to the girls in the upper grades. I believe we could utilize the basement of the little building for hot lunches. With the help we would receive from the Federal Hot Lunch Program, we need only to have some group or organization sponsor the plan locally. There would be some initial expense for equipment. In his report following a recent visit to the schools, Mr. Mack of the State Department of Education urges a more nearly adequate school lunch program. He also recommends that we adopt "an extended physical education program instead of just a sports program for those already physically efficient." Our attempt last year to organize on a modified junior-senior high school plan did not work out as planned, but with Mr. Hempel's return it is a re-organization that we should carefully consider. We shall need new text- books in History and English, workbooks and supplementary readers, and playground equipment.


I would like to thank the Committee and our teachers for their loyal services in the interests of the schools.


Respectfully submitted, JAMES R. CHILDS


REPORT OF THE HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL


To the Superintendent of Schools :


For the last few years, the average membership in the high school has varied very little in its range from 62 to 65 members. Perhaps the most notable changes during this same period of years have been the turnover of teachers each year. As all of us realize, this situation can be attributed to conditions brought about by the war and to the fact that more lucrative opportunities other than in the field of teach- ing have greatly reduced the number of available teachers. Let us hope the nation wide trend to raise teachers' salaries will be a helpful factor in alleviating the situation and that Rut- land can offer such contracts that good teachers can be kept in the service of the town. A satisfied teaching staff with but few changes each year is essential in maintaining a good educational program.


r

ANNUAL REPORT


Last fall mechanical drawing was added to the cur- riculum. Although this subject increases the teaching load, it fills a long desired want among the boys for a course of this type. Another addition under contemplation is the de- velopment of a library containing reference material, period- icals, bulletins and books of value in enriching the school program. Its location is to be Room 4, formerly known as Grange Hall. Shelves and some books have already been installed.


Five veterans of World War II returned to the high school during the fall term after their discharge from the service, four as undergraduates and one as a post-graduate.


The high school is always pleased to recognize honors that have been bestowed on its students or graduates. Wil- liam Lincoln, class of 1948, is president of the Worcester Chapter Inter-High School Red Cross. He has talked to high school assemblies in several towns and last June went to the National Red Cross Convention in Philadelphia as a delegate and member of steering committee. Charles A. Hatstat, a Rutland High School graduate, class of 1940, and at present an honor student at the Illinois Institute of Technology, is among those college students whose name is listed in the latest publication of Who's Who Among Students in Amer- ican Universities and Colleges.


The special awards presented at graduation last June were as follows:


Washington and Franklin medal for excellence in the study of United States History, Dorothy Lincoln; American Legion medal for character and all-around ability, Van Buren Herrick, III; American Legion Auxiliary medal for character and all-around ability, Sylvia Niemi; D. A. R. Good Citizen Award, Elsie Hopps; Bausch & Lomb Science Award, Van Buren Herrick, III.


I wish to thank all who have contributed to our high school program.


Respectfully submitted,


EDMUND D. KELSEY, Principal


REPORT OF THE MUSIC SUPERVISOR


To the Superintendent of Schools :


In response to your request, I hereby submit my annual report.


The regular music program has continued throughout


98


TOWN OF RUTLAND


the year, as usual. The grade children continue their holiday programs in the Town Hall; singing together, and by grades for each other. This is done on the occasion of Thanksgiving and Christmas and at the close of the school year.


During last year due to Mrs. Kelsey's efforts an innova- tion was introduced into the eighth grade music class which has been expanded to include the seventh grade. Starting with the dancing of the Virginia Reel, the rapid growth of this activity is now including old square dances and folk dances. This development has proved a very unusual and beneficial activity, much enlarging the scope of the music period. Thus, the regular work continues with increased enthusiasm.


The Glee Club in high school sang as usual for graduation. This fall with considerable extra time and application on the part of both students and teachers, we tried to produce an operetta. However, due to lack of time and inadequate per- sonnel for chorus purposes, we were finally forced to abandon this project.


During the winter there will be several broadcasts in which the Glee Club and the seventh and eighth grades will participate.


The enthusiasm of the boys and girls and the fine co- operation of the school staff has made the year's work a pleasure.

WINONA A. WEED


REPORT OF THE ART SUPERVISOR


To the Superintendent of Schools :


The following is the report on Art Education in Rutland for the period between September and January.


It is important that we understand the term "Art Edu- cation" and its aims and place in our public schools today. We must explode the popular belief that it is merely a type of seat work employed by the teacher to keep the pupil quietly and happily occupied. On the contrary, the prime objective of art education is to teach the child to think. Art work should not be a Mental Holiday for the child.


All children like to draw, paint, build, construct and through various mediums to express their ideas of the world which surrounds them, and to insert into their childworld interpretations of their own imaginative ideas. Such self-


S


99


ANNUAL REPORT


expression releases emotional stress and builds for steadiness and dependability.


The child must constantly make choices to satisfy his needs and desires. Art knowledge directs these choices in selecting wearing apparel, home surroundings, and in the selection of leisure time activities. In using the many things that surround him, their purpose, function and design will guide him in making intelligent judgments.


Thus, we in school try to embrace as many as possible of the following aims of art :


To develop :


A well balanced individual


Resourcefulness in leisure-time activities


To contribute to :


Richer and more wholesome living for all


Understanding of art values in relation to personal and community life


More meaningful and enriched subject matter for the entire school curriculum


To provide:


Lasting pleasure and satisfaction


Finer standards of taste and greater self-confidence in carrying on ordinary everyday living To discover :


Unusual abilities and aptitudes-and foster them The many professional and vocational opportunities


available for various art abilities and interests


With appreciation for the splendid cooperation and in- terest on the part of the superintendent, school committee, principal, teachers and parents.


Respectfully submitted,


CECILIA E. HALL


REPORT OF THE SCHOOL NURSE


To the Superintendent of Schools :


This year we welcomed back Dr. Leroy Mayo, our school physician. His return enables us to once again conduct regu- lar clinics and to have a more complete health program.


The cooperation of parents will help immeasurably in the control of contagious diseases.


Any child after recovering from an infectious disease shall furnish the teacher with a certificate from the local


100


TOWN OF RUTLAND


Board of Health, or from the attending physician, stating that the danger of infection is past.


MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS


CHICKEN POX: A child must stay at home until all sores have healed.


MUMPS: A child must stay at home until all glandular swelling and tenderness have disappeared.


WHOOPING COUGH: A child cannot return to school for three weeks from the beginning of the "Whoop."


GERMAN MEASLES: When the rash disappears the child may return.


MEASLES: The child may return after two weeks from the day the rash appears. Other children in the family may attend school.


SCARLET FEVER: A child must stay at home for three weeks from the day the rash appears. Children in the family who have had it may attend school if they live away from home.


Dr. Bessie Scott completed well attended dental clinics in our school. We regret that because of illness she is unable to continue this work. At present we are without a school dentist and feel the need for one greatly.


Dr. Mayo examined fourteen children at the pre-school clinic and vaccinated twelve. We hope that all children to enter school next year will attend our next pre-school clinic in May.


Dr. Mayo has completed the physical examinations in this district. Carious teeth are a common defect in our children.


All the children were weighed and measured. Very few failed to make the normal gains.


Visual and auditory tests were made by the teachers and those with defects re-checked by the nurse. The machine used to test the hearing is most reliable but the one used for eyes is out of date and we hope for new equipment next year.


Fifty-nine field visits were made. These include home calls and transporting children to the Holden Clinic.


We recognize and appreciate the important place held by the teachers in observing and reporting children in need of special attention.


The sanitation inspections prove the janitors worthy of commendation, but greater cooperation is needed from the children if we are to have high standards in this respect.
