ANNUAL REPORT
Report of the Selectmen
To the Voters of Rutland:
The Board organized March 4, 1947 with Van Buren Herrick, Jr., as Chairman and Lloyd H. Campbell as Clerk. Regular meetings were held every two weeks on Monday evenings.
The acquisition of land for an Athletic Field was voted by the Town during the year but, at the time of this report, title had not been secured; however, we believe the deed will be received soon and that plans will be prepared for im- proving the field for use next summer.
Recently, the Gardner Electric Light Company offered, for a small additional sum of money, to improve the street lighting on Main Street and Maple Avenue. This plan pro- vides for changing many of the present lights from 1,000 to 2,500 lumens and adding more lights for better distribution of illumination.
We hope the voters will provide funds for this project.
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts constructed a new bridge and approaches on East County Road-Route 68-North Rutland which has been named the "Moulton Memorial Bridge". The Board extends its appreciation to Mr. Chester Williams for providing two very fine bronze tablets for this bridge.
The highway projects for 1948 include Chapter 90 con- struction of another section of Pleasantdale Road and one on Pommogussett Road to eliminate a dangerous condition near the Calkins residence.

ANNUAL REPORT
Report of School Committee
To the Citizens of the Town of Rutland:
At the first meeting after the Annual Town Meeting, the School Committee organized with Mr. Frank Brace- bridge as chairman, Mrs. Margaret Griffin as clerk, and Mrs. Eleanor Dennehy as third member.
In April, a delegation from the Nurses' Club attended a meeting of the Committee and asked its cooperation in forming a Parent-Teachers' Association. The organization has made great progress during the year and plans to spon- sor a school lunch program in the Fall. The Committee ap- preciates this move and plans to make some improvements in the basement of the small school where the lunches will be served by the Parent-Teachers' Association.
Three teachers resigned during the year. Mr. Kenneth Sweeney resignd in January and Mr. Richard Beals was appointed to teach the seventh grade. In June, Mr. Carl Hempel resigned as teacher of the eighth grade and prin- cipal of the grade schools. Mr. Donald Marsh was appointed to fill this vacancy. Mr. Paul McMahon resigned as high school teacher and Mr. Carl Griffin, Jr., was appointed to fill the vacancy made by his resignation. Mrs. Doris Powers was appointed to fill a vacancy made by the death of Miss Ruth Butterfield, the first grade teacher.
In July, bids were posted for school bus routes and con- tracts were awarded to Al's and Dave's, William H. Griffin, and Carl R. Griffin.
During the summer two school rooms and the outside of the small school were painted.
In December, Mrs. Eleanor Dennehy resigned because of ill health and the Selectmen and two members of the School Committee appointed Mr. John Linnane to fill the vacancy.
We have enjoyed our association with our Superinten- dent and teachers and wish to express our appreciation for their splendid cooperation.

TOWN OF RUTLAND
Report of the Superintendent of Schools
Holden, Mass., December 31, 1947
To the School Committee of Rutland :
This report is the forty-eighth in the series since the formation of the present school union, and the thirtieth by the writer. May I invite your attention to the reports of the High School Principal, the School Nurse and School Physician, the Art Supervisor and the tables of statistics which follow.
There were few changes in the teaching staff. I feel that we were very fortunate in securing Donald W. Marsh as Principal of the Grammar School, and under his direction we have had a successful term, with a fine spirit of loyalty and service among the teachers. Carl R. Griffin, Jr., was ap- pointed to the high school faculty to succeed Paul McMahon. Rutland and the entire teaching profession suffered an ir- reparable loss in the death of Ruth Ella Butterfield last spring. She was an outstanding teacher gifted with rare sympathy and understanding, a "born teacher." She was a graduate of our Rutland High School and of Worcester State Normal School. She began teaching in Oakham in 1904 and spent her life in the schools of this Union, Holden, Oakham, Paxton and Rutland. Her associates and countless young people hold her in cherished memory. After a suc- cession of substitute teachers, we secured Mrs. Doris E. Powers for the vacancy in Grade I. These were the only changes during the year.
Early in the year Mrs. Gonyer resigned as School Nurse, and to carry on the health program Mrs. Brenda T. Sullivan was appointed. Dr. Mayo has continued as School Physician, and Mrs. Hall as Art Supervisor. We have been unable to find a Music Supervisor, and as yet no-one to take the place of Dr. Scott as School Dentist.
103
ANNUAL REPORT
There are 36 pupils now enrolled in Grade I and indi- cations are that we shall need another teacher, for effective teaching cannot be done by one teacher in this Grade with so many children. We shall probably need both rooms in the small building for Grade I, and move Grade II to the other building.
We have a large group taking Mechanical Drawing with Mr. Kelsey, and it is to be hoped that there may be more offerings along the line of practical arts in the high school and upper grades, for both boys and girls. A West- inghouse refrigerator and electric stove have been added to the Household Arts equipment. Several of the older type- writers should be changed for new ones, and more business machines added to make the Commercial Department bet- ter serve our needs. Proposals for school lunches have been discussed at length. The basement of the small school build- ing could be adapted to such use, and I believe it to be the only suitable location available. At present Mr. Marsh is handling well the Type C lunch so-called, with financial aid from the Community School Lunch Program. We shall need new text books in several subjects, especially arithmetic, spelling and history. The cost of books and supplies has in- creased, in some cases over 100%. Salaries will have to be revised upward if we are to retain our present standards. This all means a very definite need for a larger budget. I see no way to relieve the present heavy burden on the tax- payer other than to work for more state aid for public edu- cation. Rutland benefits by one bill passed by the Legisla- ture last year to increase the reimbursement for transpor- tation, and Senate bill No. 164 now before the Legislature would materially help us.
For some time there has been discussion regarding a change in the present School Union. Holden is ready to con- sider withdrawal because of its growth and the need for a larger school plant and more supervision. The other three towns of the Union could constitute a compact and efficient unit with many obvious advantages over the present ar- rangement. With a consolidated high school in Rutland and the students from Oakham and Paxton, you could have a

program of much wider scope, with tuitions from the other towns to offset the increased costs to a large extent.
May I express my deep appreciation for your friend- ship and loyal support.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES R. CHILDS
Report of the High School Principal
To the Superintendent of Schools:
The enrollment for 1947 increased slightly over that of a year ago, due to the return of several World War II vet- erans to complete their high school education. Most of them are members of the class of 1948 and after next June, this type of enrollment will probably cease. In looking over their individual record cards, it is interesting to observe that in every instance, the present marks are higher than those re- ceived previous to leaving school to enter the armed serv- ices.
The school library and the home economics department received helpful additions during the past year, the former increasing their number of books by about 350 volumes and the latter now having the use of an electric stove and an electric refrigerator.
A second year has been added to mechanical drawing, making this subject a two year course.
In regard to athletics, Rutland High School tied with North Brookfield High School for the sportsmanship tro- phy. As Rutland has won this trophy twice in previous years, this tie prevented permanent possession. The base- ball team again labored under difficulty in playing out of town but we should acknowledge with thanks those citizens and the Rutland State Sanatorium who helped to get into shape a baseball diamond we could use to practice on. The school is looking forward to the use of a town athletic field now under consideration.

Report of High School Home Economics
To the Superintendent of Schools:
The following is a report requested by you covering the Home Economics Course from September to January.
On Mondays, the seventh grade girls hold their weekly class. The primary objectives with this young and begin- ning group is to study a well-balanced diet, to learn the proper methods of recipe reading, correct measurement of ingredients, combination of ingredients, and baking tem- peratures. The products made centered around the break- fast unit.
Cotton aprons will be made during the second semes- ter. The basic principles of sewing, that is those encoun- tered in the making of this project, will be taught.
The eighth grade girls, meeting on Tuesday, center their interest around the luncheon unit and simple desserts. The importance of a well-balanced meal is thoroughly dis- cussed. Casserole dishes, luncheon dishes, cookies, cupcakes, and puddings were prepared in class.
We are now beginning a knitting project, after which a cotton project will be undertaken.
106
TOWN OF RUTLAND
My primary objectives in working with a high school group is to thoroughly familiarize them with as many branches of household work as time permits.
During the fall of the year, foods were canned, crab- apple jelly, grape jelly, and tomato relishes were made. Since that time we have centered our interest around the dinner unit. Variations of vegetable plates, meat cookery, salads, pies, cakes, and hot breads have been made. Three complete dinners were served by the class.
We have now begun sewing. The selection of the gar- ment to be made depends upon previous experience in sew- ing, ability, and the present needs of the individual.
I plan to cover a unit on knitting, grooming, repair of clothing, discussions on child care, and care of the home.
It has been a pleasure to work with the students and encouraging to note their progress.
Respectfully submitted,
F. ETHEL CAVANAUGH
Report of the Art Supervisor
To the Superintendent of Schools:
It is a pleasure to submit my second report of the work in the Art Department.
Our objectives in providing art activities in the school program are:
a) to encourage creative expression ;
b) to develop good taste;
c) to provide worthy leisure time activity ;
d) to discover the talented child.
There has been sincere effort on the part of the teach- ing staff to help further these objectives, and fine coopera- tion from the pupils, so we feel that another successful year has been completed.
Respectfully submitted,
CECILIA E. HALL

ANNUAL REPORT
Report of the School Nurse
To the Superintendent of Schools:
The yearly physical examination of the school children has been completed by Dr. Mayo. Defects have been record- ed on the individual record cards of each pupil. The pre- dominating defects are disease tonsils and carious teeth. The parents are urged to have corrections made.
The Visual and Auditory tests were made. Most of the defects have been corrected.
A pre-school clinic was held in May. The parents at these clinics gave the doctor an excellent opportunity to explain about the defects found.
Three diphtheria immunization clinics were held and 145 students were inoculated by Dr. Mayo.
Ten senior students at Rutland High School were x- rayed by the Southern Worcester County Organization; all x-rays were negative.
Throughout the year routine work goes on, such as home visits, personal interviews, weighing and measuring, inspections, first aid, excluding sick children, planning and assisting the school physician in clinics.
Field visits 28
Physical examinations with doctor 272

TOWN OF RUTLAND Report of the School Physician
To the Superintendent of Schools:
This is a brief report of the work done in the schools of this district by the school physician during the year 1947.
Diphtheria clinics were held in Holden, Rutland and Oakham in the early spring. In May pre-school clinics were held in the same towns and the pre-school children were vaccinated for Small-pox.
Soon after school started in September physical exam- inations were begun of all the pupils in the district. These examinations were completed in early December.
In general the health of the students during the past year has been very good. Physical examinations showed very few cases of major defects. The most frequent defect noted was that of dental caries.
