SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
1917]
January 15, 1918.
To Mr. Clarence N. Flood, Superintendent of Schools :
I herewith submit my second annual report as Principal of Saugus High School.
In my last report I mentioned three things which seemed to me to be the pressing problems of our High School : discipline, school spirit, and the attitude of pupils toward their work. Of these, only the last is still a problem. Though much has been accomplished in getting the pupils to take a serious interest in their school work, much remains to be done. Too many students of the school sufficient effort to attain a passing mark is all ambition seems to demand. This in many cases is far below what the student is capable of attaining .. Doing less than one's best is a bad habit. We wish our pupils to have higher standards. We shall continue our efforts to induce our pupils to do their very best. We believe, however, that we shall fall short of getting the desired results unless parents second our efforts with their own. We wish that parents and friends of the school would visit it often. Their presence in school would stimulate both teachers and pupils. Such visits and the knowl- edge of what we are attempting to do and what we are doing would reveal to many of the townspeople things about their High School of which they would be proud. Such visits, if numerous enough, would help to impress our pupils with the importance to them of school. Such visits would help us teachers to a better understanding of our problem because of our acquaintance with the parents of our pupils. We urge that all make an effort to visit us frequently. We assure them they will be most welcome.
Next in importance to having the townspeople visit our school or perhaps prior in importance, is the necessity for making some provision for the physical well being of those under our charge. It is perfectly well known that upon the physicial condition of the individual depends in a large degree his success in school and in life. Education is of little value to him who has not strength to use it. We have made no provision in our school for physical education. Exercise of the right sort under the right conditions should be a part of every school curriculum. So far as we are able we are meeting this need by giving the pupils breathing exercises and calisthenics between recitations and by allowing them such freedom on the grounds at recess as is consistent with safety for all. The resources at our command are entirely
38
TOWN DOCUMENTS.
[Dec. 31
inadequate to accomplish the results needed. We need to have the grounds behind the school graded to make a fit playground at recess. The grading should include all of the lot owned by the town. The open room in the basement should have a wooden floor properly oiled or have the present cement floor covered with a cement paint to prevent the dust from filling the air whenever the basement is used. If this were done the base- ment could be used for physical exercises or for games. We need an extra teacher trained to conduct classes in physical training. Having the grounds and basement properly fixed will help but we shall not be entirely equipped for getting the best results until a gymnasium shall have been built.
Social Life.
We believe as we believed last year that the school does not have enough social life. Pupils and teachers should meet fre- quently outside of the class room. This can best be done at school functions of one kind or another. These functions should always have some educational as well as social aspect. By having a wooden floor in the basement, a place would be pro- vided for the games and dances of minor affairs which do not require the use of the hall.
Athletics.
The establishing of an Athletic Council by the School Com- mittee proved to be a step in the right direction. The efforts of the Council enabled them to pay an athletic debt of nearly $100 during the last school year and also to pay the running expenses of the teams. This fall, for the first time in many years, there was a small amount in the treasury to start the season with. That the Council was able to accomplish so much is due to the hearty support of the student body and the co-operations of all were asked to help in any way. Liberal contributions to the Council's funds from Mrs. Anna C. Parker and Mr. Horace Atherton assisted materially.
Interest in athletics this year has been less marked owing to the demands of the war. The football season was not a success financially. On the other hand, it was most successful from the point of view of the spirit shown.
Teachers.
I wish to call your attention, Mr. Superintendent, to the splendid spirit of the teaching force of the High School. Never
39
SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.

have I been in a school where all worked together so carefully and conscientiously for the desired end. The harmony and good feeling which prevails among the teachers has helped to build a spirit in the school. The relations between pupils and teachers are cordial and loyal. Many of our teachers are unusually good in their teaching, in their interest in the pupils, and in their desire to promote the welfare of the school. They are such that the town cannot afford to have them go. May I urge that something be done to raise the pay of these teachers and so show them in a substantial way our appreciation. Only three of last year's High School teachers remain at the present time. It is exceedingly difficult to make progress in a school where the faculty is constantly changing. We hope, therefore, that we shall be able to keep most of those who are now with us.
School Funds.
The townspeople will doubtless be interested in the various funds raised in school and in the expenditures from them. The list follows :
The "Children of France's Fund."
Raised May 11, 1917 $ 9 22
Raised for Belgian children 21 96
Both these amounts were put in the hands of former the Super- intendent and by him turned over to the persons qualified to receive them.
On Liberty Day $156.67 was contributed by the student body and the teachers to buy a Liberty Bond for the school. This money was put in the hands of the Principal. One hundred and fifty dollars was expended in buying three $50 bonds. The remaining $6.67 was added to the School Improvement Fund. "

Things Accomplished.
It is with much pleasure that we call attention to the fact that most of the things we recommended last year as needed for carrying on our work successfully have been done. First, we

have been provided with a study hall which seats one hundred four pupils. In this study hall we have bookcases for the reference books, an ideal situation in that it makes accessible to · those who are studying the books they may need. Second, a drawing room has been made of the old domestic science room. In this drawing room are cabinets for filing away the drawing boards so that each pupil's work may be kept in good condition until he returns to it. The drawing teacher now has for the first time a proper place in which to work. Third, the domes- tic science room is now in the basement in a place where it is accessible from the large open room of the addition. Equip- ment has been added to this department so that it is adequately prepared to serve a luncheon to the school. Great credit is due to the teachers of domestic science, Miss Partridge and Miss Bullard, for the splendid success of the lunch hour. I have never seen a school lunch handled better than in our own school. The food is wholesome, is sufficient, is moderate in price. The menus are varied. When I say that the food has been made so appetizing that the business at the counter has doubled since the beginning, no other comment is needed. Mrs. Parker, who was delegated by the School Committee to oversee the changing of the department from upstairs to the basement, deserves much credit for having made the place so nearly suited to our needs. Fourth, office equipment has been installed in the Principal's office to enable him to handle the records of the greatly increased numbers. Fifth, a bicycle room has been fitted up in the boys' basement of the old building. Sixth, the manual training has been transferred to new quarters in the old school. Now we have two rooms, one upstairs and one on the ground floor. One section of each room has per- manent seats arranged for class teaching. The benches are new or made over. There is a tool room on each floor to keep tools locked up when they are not in use. Altogether, the new place is a great improvement over the old.
I wish to express through you, Mr. Superintendent, my appreciation to the School Committee for their interest and their efforts in bringing these things to pass.
Junior High School.
It is, of course, too early to say much about the Junior High School. I wish to point out one or two indications of a promising nature, however. It has been possible under the new organiza-
45
SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
1917]
tion to give attention to some real needs. By making the work departmental, we have been enabled to have a specially qualified teacher teach penmanship- to all the seventh and eighth grades. The results are promising. The same may be said of other subjects. The innovations in our new scheme, the teaching of French in Grade 7 and Latin in Grade 8 are proving very satisfactory. Pupils take a decided interest in the French and have already made considerable progress. Of the four first year Latin classes three in Grade 9 and one in Grade 8, the Grade 8 class is much the best. The discipline problem is much easier under the new arrangement. More time and energy are therefore available for actual teaching. Since the teachers for the most part teach fewer subjects, they have more time to give to the preparations of lessons. The lessons conse- quently can be better presented. On the whole, the results of the new plan are encouraging.
Attendance.
It is gratifying to note the improvement in attendance. A glance at last year's report shows an average of 92 per cent for the preceding year. The attendance for the present year up to date is 95.7 per cent a decidedly improved showing. It is said by educators whose authority is recognized that an attendance below 95 per cent is a serious hindrance to successful school work. We trust that parents will continue to help us that we may maintain the high standard we have reached.
Needs.
Now that we have fine facilities for putting books in the hands of students, it is imperative that we have more books. We ask, therefore, that the Committee make plans for the spending of at least $50 each year for the purchase of books for our library.
About $50 is needed to transfer our excellent lantern from its old place to the new Assembly Hall. This money could be expended best in fitting the lantern with a nitrogen lamp. The apparatus could then be used anywhere by attaching it to the electric light circuit. This would do away with any special wiring. At present the lantern can be used only in the study hall, a place occupied at all times. We cannot, therefore, make any use of this valuable apparatus at present.
The system of telephones in the old building should be tied up with the new system. Those in the old building do not
46
TOWN DOCUMENTS.
[Dec. 31
work well. It would be better to join the two rather than repair the old system. Doing this would make the Principal's work somewhat easier.
The need of grading properly about the grounds and laying cement approaches to the building seems an imperative one. The children ought to have some chance for recreation and they cannot have the proper chance unless the grounds are laid out as they should be. During the fall term it was difficult to pre- vent annoyance to people living near the school. So little space for play on the school property tempted pupils to encroach on the grounds adjacent. In most cases the pupils used care in this matter after they had been spoken to about it. The boys and girls should have a suitable place to play, however. This con- cerns the health of the community.
With the proper grading of the grounds, cement walks should be laid. It is almost impossible to keep our building clean with the present dirt approaches. We wish citizens would visit us on a rainy day and see the results of the present situation.
The present traffic in the open room in the basement wears away the cement floor and keeps the air filled with dust. This we believe is likely to be injurious to the children. We earnestly request that something be done immediately to relieve this situtation.
Conclusion.
In concluding, Mr. Superintendent, let me express to you my thanks for your constant encouragement to me in my work. May I express through you my appreciation to the School Com- mittee for their interest in the needs of our school, and for the help which their sympathy has been to me.
Respectfully submitted,
C. L. Smith.
