Report of School Committee
To the Citizens of the Town of Saugus :
The School Committee submit their annual report which combined with that of the Superintendent and Principal of the High School will give you some idea of the work of the School Department.
The Committee feel thatthe Schools are running very smoothly, and wish to give Superintendent Lambert credit for securing and maintaining such a splendid corps of teachers.
Your Committee would like to commend Mrs. Norris for the very efficient manner in which she has conducted our High School. For so large a school the discipline is excellent, and now special attention is being paid to raising the standard of Scholarship. Visiting educators have only words of praise for our High School.
Your Committee have endeavored to eliminate non essentials and things that would detract from the best efforts of both scholars and teachers.
The constantly increasing number of pupils in our town, keep our housing problem ever before your Committee.
The North Saugus Schoolhouse having been remodelled, was opened on January 3, 1921. Three rooms being occupied, and one left unfinished for future growth. The building has a modern heating and ventilating system as well as up-to-date toilets etc. The location and arrangements of rooms add much to the general lighting effects.
The next problem in housing will come in the Cliftondale section of the town and has been referred to a special committee to report with recommendations.
Your School Committee feel that as West Cliftondale is the growing section of that part of the town, a six-room building here would relieve the congestion in the center of Cliftondale.
Repairs
Our school buildings are in very fair condition. The addition to the stack at the High School at the cost of $844 solves a
4
TOWN DOCUMENTS.
[Dec. 31
problem of long standing very satisfactorily. The janitor is now able to burn part screenings at a considerable saving to the town due to the increased draft. The heating arrangements at the High School have been partly solved and will be completed this year undoubtedly. This situation is more fully explained in the report of Mr. Gibson our engineer which is attached hereto.
The Cliftondale School has to have its heating apparatus overhauled.
The Mansfield School has to have its roof shingled and ought to be painted as well as one or two of the other schools.
Drainage
The cesspools of the High and Lynnhurst School have given much trouble this last year and have been fixed, so that no further trouble is looked for from this source.
Fuel
Your Committee could not get any one to bid on coal, so Mr. C. H. Stocker has furnished our coal at market price, this means that we have had to pay $15 or $16 a ton for coal. We feel that some one person or board should have the given authority to purchase coal for all departments of the town, and make a considerable saving.
Transportation
With the discontinuing of the Eastern Massachusetts car lines in our town our problems along this line have increased. Our supervisors are handicapped about visiting rural schools and the expense has increased to the point where we have to allow each supervisor a certain amount for travelling expense. The North Saugus teachers have to be transported to the school every day.
Tuition
It will be noticed that this amount is constantly increasing. People build their homes on the very outskirts of the town, with the result that their children are more than the legal dis- tance from our schools, while they may be within sight almost of a school in Melrose or Wakefield.
It seems to be the best solution to pay their tuition rather than try to transport them to our schools, in some cases two or three miles away.
5
SCHOOL COMMITTEE'S REPORT.
1920]
The State pays tuition for all State wards in town schools, but there are a great number of children who are boarded in town whose parents reside elsewhere from whom we should receive tuition, but the committee have thus far been unable to make any notable progress in collecting same.
Clerk
Miss Edith Pillings who has served as clerk in the school office part time for several years, having accepted a position in the Water Department which prevents her continuing with the School Department. The committee felt that in view of the increased amount of reports, statistic, etc., required of our department by the State and in view of the routine work involved in caring for a department as large as that of the schools that a full time clerk was necessary. Miss Helen Graves has been engaged as clerk for the School Department.
Physical Instruction and Athletics
For a long time the committee has felt that more attention should be given the physical life of the scholars, especially those of the junior high age. We have been paying $150 for baseball, and $150 for football, but only a few of the larger and stronger boys get any benefit from this training. The committee had an opportunity to have Mr. Beresford the athletic coach for part time each week in physical culture from now until June and he is now at work in the school on part time. This we hope will result in improved physical condition and will also help in getting the team into shape.
We feel that more athletic team work in a school the size of ours cannot but help to keep boys at school.
The committee have asked for a sufficient amount under this head to care also for the rent of the athletic field. This has been left for the principal of the school to do and the committee feel that this should be taken care of by the town and not left to the principal and scholars to raise this money by tag days, etc.
If athletics are worth having in our school, and we all agree in that, then let us not make the boys pay for their place to play.
Dental Clinic
The teachers, with the chairman of the Junior Red Cross, have been very desirous for two things which would help greatly the health conditions of the school children. It was decided to
6
TOWN DOCUMENTS.
[Dec. 31
bend their efforts for a dental clinic ; some favored a school nurse, but at that time it was not advised that Junior Red Cross money be used for that purpose, perhaps on account of the greater expense.
Having received help besides our membership from the Lynn Chapter, Tuberculosis Fund, and two private donations, there is sufficient money to start the work when the best plan is arrived at, from the study of what other towns are doing, that will best suit Saugus conditions.
The school nurse is of equal importance for child welfare.
The co-operation of district nurse, school nurse and dental clinic is under consideration. In order to do this work success- fully some aid will have to be given. We, therefore, ask the voters to help finance this splendid plan which , will help thel child that doctors are never asked to attend, thus making al children safer and healthier.
Respectfully submitted,
ANNA C. PARKER, Chairman.
In Conclusion
We realize our large tax rate, and what a proportion of it goes to our schools, but we feel that ours has not been increased out of preportion with other cities and towns around us, and we feel very strongly that we cannot afford to stint'or handicap the boys and girls of to-day, who are to be the men and women of to-morrow.
We believe that there should be a secretary of education and federalize the control of schools just as much and more so than a secretary of agriculture.
When we have federal control and uniform laws then we may get some relief. We appreciate very much the spirit of co-pera- tion shown by the people of the town, and a willingness to do for the boys and girls just as much as the town can afford.

SCHOOL COMMITTEE'S REPORT.
1920]
Report of Saugus High School Heating System
To the School Committee and the Superintendent of Schools, Town of Saugus :
In June, 1920, the heating system of the High School was supplied by the following units :
Six hot air furnaces, one sectional steam heater and two hori- zontal tubular steam boilers making a total of nine heating units.
The six hot air furnaces supplied heat to six rooms and the assembly room in the original building. The sectional steam heater supplied the corridors and office and the two horizontal tubular boilers supplied 109,352 cubic feet in the addition.
After consulting with several heating contractors the School Committee decided that the school would be heated more econo- mically if the hot air furnaces were removed and the entire building put on a steam heating system. The committee's decision was influenced by the following facts :
Ist. The two horizontal steam boilers were sufficiently large to heat the entire building.
2nd. It was more expensive to run nine fires than to run three.
3rd. Steam heat is considered to be at least 20 per cent. more . efficient than hot air.
4th. The anthracite coal burned in the hot air furnaces is much higher priced than the bituminous coal which is used in the steam boilers.
Realizing that the initial expense would be large the com- mittee decided to rearrange only four rooms for 1920, the heat- ing systems of the other rooms to be changed when the money could be appropriated.
Accordingly two of the hot air furnaces were removed and reinstalled in the Mansfield School at East Saugus.
The committee then authorized me to make a survey of the proposition and draw up plans for a rearrangement of the heating system.
The plans as drawn and approved by the inspection of the State Department of Public Safety call for a system of indirect steam heating, the supply to be taken from the two horizontal steam boilers. No change is being considered for the heating of the corridors and office.
The committee accepted the plans and requested bids on the work as shown for the four rooms which then had no heat supply.

Bids were received and opened. They ranged from $3,220 to $2,600, Mr. James Hogan of Cliftondale being the lowest bidder. The committee had available only $700. Acting on advice of the town counsel, the contract was not let.
Knowing that the four rooms must be heated before cold weather, the committee authorized Mr. Hogan to install $700 worth of the new arrangement.
At the Special Town Meeting in November the committee asked for an appropriation to complete the installation. The appropriation was not granted.
At the final meeting (for the year 1920) of the Finance Com- mittee, three hundred dollars ($300) were placed at the disposal of the School Committee for heating.
Mr. Hogan was then directed to install the radiation necessary to heat two of the four rooms.
The committee now requires $1,600 to complete the new heating system for the four rooms.
In the interests of economy the remaining hot air furnaces should be removed and the system of indirect steam heating installed.
The estimated cost to remove the four hot air furnaces and install the steam heating system is $3,000. The system has been arranged so that two of the furnaces could be removed this year and two next year if desired.
Respectfully,
H. W. GIBSON,
Special Heating Engineer

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
1920]
Report of Superintendent
To the School Committee and Citizens of Saugus :
It becomes the duty and privilege of your Superintendent to submit at this time, his third annual report of the condition, progress and needs of the schools of Saugus, the same being the twenty-eighth annual school report.
The Teaching Force
As you will doubtless agree, the largest single factor having to do with the accomplishments of any school system is the efficiency of its teaching force.
We have done our best to keep fully up to the mark in this respect and the nature of the work now being done in the school- rooms seems to indicate more than a fair degree of success.
The following table shows the changes in our corps of teachers for the period between September, 1919 and September, 1920, the first column containing the names of those teachers who are no longer with us, the second, the names of our new teachers :
