In 1941 the welfare load should take a decided drop. Necessary ap- propriations for welfare purposes should be substantially lower. We

all know why and reasons should not be necessary. In fairness to the School Department, and other departments, which have operated on budgets cut to the bone during the past six or seven years, con- sideration should be given in 1941 to more adequate appropriations.
No town department is more im- portant. In your schools are trained and developed your future citizens. By and large they will reflect the training they receive. It may seem good economy to shave school costs to the irreducible minimum. Think- ing citizens do not subscribe to this formula. Never in the history of this country were schools more important then they are today. They may be the institutions that will eventually save Democracy.
If my mathematics are correct the $2700 lopped off the 1940 gen- eral school budget caused a saving of approximately 17 cents on the 1940 tax rate. It didn't mean that much because the School Commit- tee had to have a transfer of $1000- .00 for fuel. For the sake of argu- ment, however, let us call it 17 cents. That means that the man with a house assessed for $4000.00 saved 68 cents on his 1940 tax bill. Is there any citizen who wants to save 68 cents a year and deprive his children of things necessary for a decent education?
Recommendations
I make the following recommen- dations and call them to the atten- tion of the School Committee and of the citizens:
(1) Better classroom facilities and special equipment and sup- plies for the children in the special classes.
(2) Improvement of the play areas, particularly at the Emer- son,
Oaklandvale and Sweetser Schools.
(3) The expenditure of ap- proximately $2500.00 for new equipment in order that the present general shop course in the high school may be made into a four year course.
(4) The appointment of a special teacher to relieve the ele- mentary school principals, thus
giving them an opportunity to more closely supervise the work of the teachers in their building.
(5) The reduction of the num- ber of children in some grades of some of our elementary schools.
County Trade School
The Superintendent of Schools of Essex County urgently recom- mends the establishment of a trade school in Essex County. The need for such a school is desperately apparent and the costs should be shared by all of the thirty-four towns and cities of the county. Al- though only 3% of Essex County is agricultural the county supports an agricultural school. It is time that the needs of the other 97% of the county be recognized.
The School Committee and the Superintendent of Schools strongly urge the establishment of an Essex County Trade School.
Schoolhouse Repairs
Some of the more important re- pairs to the various schoolhouses accomplished during the year 1940 are listed below:
1. New doors - Sweetser School
2. Repairs to chimney - Clif- tondale School
3. Interior repainted - Lynn- hurst School
4. Repairs and extension
to chimney - Armitage School
5. Replacement of water pipe - High School
6. Ceiling repainted - Room #208-High School
7. Interior repainted - Ballard School
8. Removal of cornices - Sweet- ser School
9. Chimney and roof repairs - Ballard School
10. Chimney repaired - North Saugus School
11. Chimney repaired - Felton School
12. Fire escape stairway (inter- ior) repaired - High School
13. Repair of loose railing of fire escape on roof - High School
14. New exit door and frame - North Saugus School
15. All cornices checked - Roby School
13
REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE

16. All cornices checked -Armi- tage School
17. Dental Clinic room repainted - Cliftondale School
18. Replaced boiler blow-down pipes - Roby School
19. Fire escape repainted - Roby School
20. Fire escape repainted - Clif- tondale School
21. Fire escape repainted - Em- erson School
22. Fire escape repainted - Oak- landvale School
23. Loose railings repaired Central Junior High School
24. All inside metal work repain- ted - Central Junior High School
25. All outside metal work re- painted Central Junior High School
26. New windows installed - North Saugus School
An adequate schoolhouse repair appropriation is needed for the year 1941.
Scholastic Standing
Scholastically our schools remain at a high standard.
Our High School is rated a Class A high school by the State Depart- ment of Education.
We enjoy the privilege of certi- fying our High School graduates to some fourteen leading colleges which are members of the New En- gland College Entrance Board. This privilege does not expire until 1942. We believe that it will again be renewed at that time.
Our graduates now in institu- tions of higher learning are all doing a good grade of work. They thus reflect credit upon Saugus High School in which institution they received their preparation.
High School Band ·
Saugus High School now boasts one of the finest high school bands in the Commonwealth. Band Di- rector Donald Hammond and the band members deserve unlimited credit.
Starting from a nucleus of about twenty members the band now numbers sixty accomplished musi- cians. They easily outshone any
other high school band seen by Saugus citizens during the 1940 season.
It is the hope of the Superinten- dent of Schools to see the Saugus High School Band soon comprise one hundred members. It is also my opinion that some help should be given the band from general taxation. The unit has given to the town much desirable advertis- ing. Why shouldn't the town help support the band? It is becoming increasingly difficult to support it by begging and supplication.
School Census
During the year 1940 the school teachers, with but four or five ex- ceptions, volunteered to take the school census. This action saved about $125.00 for the town. The School Committee does not recom- mend that the teachers be re- quested to take the school census again in 1941. They feel that such work is not a part of a teacher's position and certainly not the type of work for which their services are engaged. The School Com- mittee is grateful for the donated services of the vast majority of the teachers in the taking of the school census in 1940.
Department of Guidance
A strong and efficient Depart- ment of Guidance is now function- ing in the Central Senior and Junior High School. The School Committee has selected Mr. Ed- ward Gibbs, 3rd, a high school teacher with a regular teaching program, to be the head of this de- partment. The purpose of the de- partment is to afford all types of modern guidance to the young men and women of the senior and junior high schools. The service is also intended to aid the youths after graduation from high school. The department will also function as a placement bureau for the se- curing of positions for graduates.
Guidance is a very important service in a modern school system. Proper guidance can well mean the difference between successful and unsuccessful lives. Under Mr. Gibbs the School Committee is con- fident that exceptionally fine re- sults will be obtained.

Janitors Pay Adjustment
There are four school janitors whose salaries should be raised in 1941. The present pay of these four employees is absolutely unfair and unjust. These four janitors are full-time employees with the ex- ception of a few extra weeks time off during the summer months. During the winter months their working hours are from approxi- mately 5 A. M. to 5 P. M.
I list them below with their yearly salaries :
Joseph Gamage - Cliftondale School $640
Elizabeth Pooler - Lynnhurst School $550 Frank Collins - North Saugus School
$640 Joseph Truesdale - Oakland- vale School $715
Sufficient money should be pro- vided in the 1941 general budget to raise each of these faithful school custodians to a salary of $800 per year. Even this amount is too low considering the efficient service they are giving to the town.
Thanks
May I express the appreciation of the School Committee and the Superintendent of Schools for the cooperation and assistance of many town officials during the year 1940. In turn the School Department has sincerely cooperated with all other town departments. True success can only come through cooperative effort of all town officials and I believe that we had much of such cooperation during the past year.
Conclusion
In conclusion may I express my personal appreciation to the mem- bers of the School Cmmittee for their sincere interest in the school system of this community. May I also express my appreciation to the vast majority of teachers whose loyalty and devotion to duty means everything to a school system. The same appreciation is extended to school nurses, custodians and all other employees of the School De- partment.
And now a word to the teachers. Your biggest and most important obligation is to the boys and girls
of the community. It is a sacred obligation. It is indeed the Holy Grail of your profession. Your obligation is to all children irre- spective of race, creed or color. In fact your greatest obligation is to the most lowly. To bring out the best in each child is your not easy task. The blackest face may hold the whitest heart. The brightest flowers are not always those of rarest beauty. Hidden away in the canyon cranny are flowers of delicate hue and rare fragrance. Perhaps hidden away in the wan face and dull mind of a child are qualities of character not readily visible. Your obligation as teachers is to develop the best in all of these children. Upon how well you suc- ceed depends the real measure of your value as a teacher. The re- wards of your profession are not material. They are immaterial and therefore that much greater.

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
1940]
To Mr. Vernon W. Evans,
Superintendent of Schools, Saugus, Mass.
Dear Sir:
I herewith submit my report as school physician for the year 1940.
The following are the defects found in the students of the Bal- lard, Emerson and Lynnhurst schools, after examination.
Throat defects 80
Dental 30
Glands 20
Heart 2
Posture

Scalp

Eyes 1
Many of the children had their tonsils removed during vacation, and I thank the parents for their co-operation.
About twenty-five or more chil- dren have been sent to my office for minor ailments or certificates.
Our school nurses are efficient, and co-operative. Willing to help at anytime.
I wish to thank the P. T. A. for the scales they have purchased for the Ballard
and Emerson School.
I thank the principals, teachers, and parents for their co-operation.
Respectfully,
MARY M. PENNY, M. D. December 20th 1940
January 9, 1941 Mr. Vernon W. Evans, Superintendent of Schools, Saugus. Mass.
Dear Sir:
I herewith submit my report as School Physician for the year 1940.
There appears to be a marked improvement in the general health of the school children. I feel that this is due to the employment of a second school nurse.
The annual physical examina- tion was done in September and all defects were noted on the phy- sical record card. This was done in less time than usual which is another advantage in having two school nurses.
I am looking forward to an im-
provement in the sanitary condi- tions at the Sweetser School as soon as it is connected with the common sewer.
Respectfully submitted.

December 31, 1940
Mr. Vernon Evans,
Superintendent of Schools,
Saugus, Mass.
Dear Sir,
Responding to your request, I offer these points in surveying my work as school physician for 1940.
The periodic examinations re- vealed abnormalties as follows: Cervical adenopathy 46
Rhinolaryngological disorders
108
Dental disorders 110
A breakdown of these figures in grades shows that the major por- tion occurred in the first three grades. The junior high school students were remarkably fit. A gratifying improvement in body nutrition was evident in all the schools, no case of malnutrition being noted.
Contagious diseases were at a minimum for which we may thank the zeal of the teachers and nurses for their alertness in excluding the cases of communicable diseases at their onset.
Sanitary conditions have done credit to the janitors, the more so allowing for the equipment at their disposal.
Very truly yours.
J. O. WARD. M. D.
REPORT OF SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
December 31, 1940
Mr. Vernon W. Evans
Superintendent of Schools Saugus, Massachusetts Dear Mr. Evans:
I herewith submit my sixth an- nual report as principal of the Saugus High School.
Enrollment
School opened on September 4, 1940, with 972 pupils in the senior high school and 430 pupils in the Central junior high school. The
16
TOWN DOCUMENTS
[Dec. 31
enrollment was divided as follows: Post Graduates-4, Grade 12- 231, Grade 11-207, Grade 10- 238. Grade 9-292, Grade 8-300, Grade 7-130.
Faculty
Mr. Stephen Lovett, a teacher of several years' experience, was en- gaged to teach English in grade 8 to take the place of Mrs. Emma Hughes who retired last June after teaching 25 years in the schools of Saugus.
Miss Victoria Borys, one of our commercial teachers, resigned in June to be married. Instead of hiring another commercial teacher Mr. William Donovan, a graduate of Fitchburg Teachers' College, was engaged to teach Industrial Arts.
Miss Frances Page succeeds Miss Rita Lavin as teacher of Latin. Miss Lavin resigned to be married. Miss Page came to us very highly recommended from Foxboro High School.
Miss Evelyn Rodgers a graduate of Saugus High School and Jack- son College was engaged to take Miss Ivaloo Small's place as tea- cher of English.
Mr. Anthony Marandas, a gradu- ate of Holy Cross College, was en- gaged to succeed Nicholas Morris as teacher of Civics and assistant Football Coach. The middle of November Mr. Belden Bly, Jr. was engaged to succeed Mr. John Mac- Vicar. Mr. Bly is a graduate of Northeastern University and has a Master's degree from Boston University.
Mr. Edward Gibbs, 3rd, took over the duties of Head of the Guidance Department at the open- ing of school. This position was formerly held by Miss Dorothy Eyre and Miss Rita Lavin.

The following reports have been received from the department heads :
"During the past year we have started two projects which I think will be of great benefit to our com- mercial students. First, requiring the seniors to work for one week at a time in the principal's office and the guidance office, thus giv- ing them experience in actual of- fice work. Second, allowing the seniors to work as cashiers in the cafeteria, which gives them prac- tical experience in balancing their cash and in using the cash regis- ter. By their work in the above two jobs, we are better able to judge the kind of office work they will do later, and the type of work they are best fitted for.
We are trying at all times to improve our standards. I wish that we might say that no one would receive a Commercial Dip- loma unless he or she attained a "B" average".
"Curriculum revision has held the attention of the English De- partment during the past year. The majority of our meetings have been devoted to discussions of current trends in the teaching of (1) remedial reading (2) modern lit- erature (3) grammar, and (4) correct usage-items in our courses of study that seemed to require the most urgent consideration.
A careful study of "An Ex- perience Curriculum," the most important work on the English curriculum ever produced by the National Council of Teachers of English, has been made by the department head during the past two years. Several changes have been brought about in our curricu- lum as a result of this study. Three teachers of the department during the year have been taking univer- sity courses that have helped both themselves as individuals and the department in attacking. the. prob- lem of · curriculum building.
