Report of the School Committee
To the Citizens of Swampscott:
The School Committee herewith submits its annual report.
For some years, the committee has done all in its power to raise the standard of the Swampscott schools to as high a level as possible. We feel that this is being accomplished by financing only the essential things.
The committee sincerely hopes that the present economic con- ditions will not bring about a lowering of this standard.
Respectfully submitted,
ELEANOR H. INGELFINGER, Chairman,
MARION C. MILLER,
HARRY D. LINSCOTT, RALPH MAXWELL, THOMAS S. BUBIER.
REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the School Committee of the town of Swampscott: Ladies and Gentlemen:
I submit herewith my annual report as superintendent of the schools of Swampscott for the year 1932.
Beyond any question, the item which has demanded the most persistent attention this year has been that of finances. Our appro- priation from the town was a generous one, granted with the ex-

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
1932]
pressed faith of the Finance Committee that the moneys would be expended with due regard for value received and with economy the end in view. I interpreted such a condition to carry with it the ex- pectation that as large a sum as possible would be returned to the town as an unexpended balance, and I have made every effort to bring that to pass. In this effort I have received the whole-hearted co-operation of every member of this department. Any success that has been attained is due to no individual but to the entire staff of teachers and janitors combined. We have tried to measure our re- quests by our actual needs. We find ourselves at the close of the year with a balance of $5,913.74, and this would have been somewhat larger except for emergency repairs to the walls, clocks and boiler of the Hadley school that, fortunately for us, became urgent just at the moment when we had the money available.
The question of finances is still with us, and it is no time for anything but the utmost frankness in all matters of municipal fi- nance. Schools, in general, more than any other department, are un- der fire by a few who are insincere for their own ends, and by more who are well intentioned but uninformed.
Perhaps President Robert M. Hutchins of the University of Chicago has stated the situation as concisely for the schools as it can be stated. Speaking before a recent meeting, he said: "But the things that communities propose to do in the hysteria of economy far surpass the wildest aberrations of bull market days. We hear a deal about frills. What are frills ? Teachers' salaries appear to be frills in some cities. The health of school children is a frill in others. Since night schools are frills in one community, we close them and throw 75,000 people into the street. The plain fact is that the schools are under attack because it is easier to get money from them than it is to correct the fundamental iniquities of local government."
I believe that the people of Swampscott will stand behind this School Committee in its avowed policy of providing the best teachers that can be obtained to teach the children of the town, and to secure enough of them to assure classes of a teachable size. In this con- nection, a five-year comparison of expenditures reveals the follow- ing condition:
We expended In 1926-1927 $112,451.00 42,283.00 64
For Instructional Salaries For all other expenses Number of teachers
In 1931-1932 $177,181.00 42,432.00 81
In other words, all except $149.00 of the increased total costs of the schools over that period has gone towards carrying out that pol- icy. The best teachers available have been obtained, and the number of them has been increased more than 25 per cent. A refusal to support the policy of the committee now can be interpreted only as a decision that the best teachers and classes of a teachable size are not desired. It is inconceivable that an enlightened community could arrive at such a decision.
School people are not opposed to economy in the abstract, or to definite economies in particular. The school official who is not at this time scrutinizing his expenditures and his budget with an eye to every cut consistent with sound educational procedure is not repre- sentative of the best among school officials.
School people believe that only substantial reasons of fact and necessity in a particular instance may be held valid for taking any action either for reducing or advancing expenditures. The argument that other places are reducing or advancing is not an argument of weight in determining what should be done in a given community,

. any more than the fact that you have no automobile is a reason why your neighbor should have to give up his. The simple fact, so far as Swampscott is concerned, is that up to the present moment nobody has shown any great necessity for a drastic change in either direc- tion. On the contrary, in spite of its generosity in providing for its schools the town has not been called on to an extent comparable with most others. The latest reports from the State Department of Edu- cation indicate that there is valuation to the amount of $14,541.00 behind each pupil in our public schools. Only three other towns in the 83 with which we are compared have greater per pupil wealth available. We have expended from local taxation per $1,000.00 valu- ation the amount of $7.48 a pupil. Only six other towns have expend- ed less.
The preparation of a budget for the year 1933 is a serious matter. We must cut, it appears, and still we must maintain the schools at a standard which will assure our children an adequate education. The way for some reduction seems assured by steps al- ready taken, but it will be slight.
For example, the reorganization of the High School Course of Study, which involved among other things the elimination of Spanish from the curriculum, secured for this year at least a better distri- bution of pupils to classes and eliminated a teacher. There is a pos- sibility that she must be replaced in another department in Septem- ber.
Careful management of athletics at the High School has relieved us of about half of the anticipated costs in that direction. We can go the rest of the distance and be free entirely from now on, if the town will enclose a playground so that admission fees may be charged to High School games. The proposition that was under way to this end last year went awry somewhere through a misunderstand- ing, but an article is to be inserted in the annual town meeting war- rant to cover the situation this spring. The Park Commissioners are unanimously behind this project. The School Department budget can profit by a reduction of about $800.00 annually if this movement is successful.
I would not recommend reduction in the purchase of books or of supplies. We have not yet reached the point where we have a suffi- cient number of the former, although we have striven towards that end. Next year our bookkeeping texts at the High School should be replaced entirely. They not only are not of an up-to-date edition but from a teaching standpoint they do not meet the requirements of methods that are generally considered most effective by those whose business it is to know. We should likewise complete the purchase of language texts for the grades begun this year, and start the intro- duction of health readers for the intermediate grades. These steps, together with the ordinary necessary replacements of worn out vol- umes, will hardly make possible a reduction at this point below the expenditures of 1932, although it will allow a request less than the budgeted figure for this year.
In the matter of supplies, most businesses would lay in a heavy stock with conditions as they are in school business today. Prices have never been lower in my experience. We have not only prospects but absolute assurance cf good business for years to come. Buying in considerable volume now would be money saved over a period of time.
Building repairs are always an uncertain quantity. This year at the moment when it appeared that favorable prices had saved us a considerable sum in that direction, we were confronted with heavy

and unanticipated demands at the Hadley Junior High School where ventilator tops and leaking walls demanded attention and ate up part of our surplus.
There are many items demanding consideration for next year. The Hadley Junior High and Elementary buildings should be painted outside. More ventilator work should be done on the Junior High School to assure safety and to complete what was begun last sum- mer. The windows on the north side of the Stanley School should be weather-stripped, both for comfort and for the saving of fuel. The water available at the High School becomes less and less, apparently indicating that the pipes are practically sealed with corrosion. There are times in the day when the science laboratory cannot be used at all for lack of water. A new and larger supply pipe seems a neces- sity. Several floors in the Clarke School have splintered to the point that they should be relaid. With the leaks 'stopped in the Hadley School, several sections of wall in the stair wells must be replastered before they can be repainted. Fully half the rooms in the building need painting.
The Clarke School basement and heating plant still present a problem. Five separate fires are now required to heat an eight room building. This is most expensive. Moreover, unless I misjudge the situation, a new heating plant is going to be not merely desirable, but actually necessary, within a comparatively short time. Cracks have developed in the built-in fire pots which, if they enlarge, will contaminate the fresh air supply to the class rooms with coal gas. From the very nature of the construction there is no way to prevent this with the present system. Rebuilding the pots will involve no small outlay. We can delay and have a serious problem on our hands at an inconvenient time (doubtless in cold weather), or we can anti- cipate it and have a modern heating plant installed soon. I recom- mend serious consideration of this situation.
Nothing his been done at the High School to improve its condi- tion, apparently within the memory of man. Within the last three years over $5,000.00 has been expended there just to keep the build- ing habitable, but it still leaks through the walls of the tower so that at times pails must be placed in the corridors below to catch the flow of water. It is useless to do any painting in that part of the building until this condition is remedied, but there is no reason for not painting every other part of the building.
Apparently the excuse for not doing such painting before was the fact that a new high school building was in prospect. In all that controversy, however, there was no proposition to abandon or tear down the present building. Indeed the present building with some slight alterations was to serve as an elementary school. It seems highly inconsistent, therefore, that the building should be allowed to go beyond its present state of gloominess and shabbiness when the intent is to keep it in operation; and it seems quite as inconsistent even to allow it to remain as it is with the certainty that we must continue to occupy it, not as an elementary school but as a High School as at present, without alteration, for an indefinite period to come. I recommend a considerable expenditure for renovating the High School next summer, even if some other buildings must be neglected for a year.
I have spoken previously of the reorganization of the High School curriculum. There were three distinct ends in view. Briefly, they were: (1) to provide a course better suited to the interests of many pupils outside of the College Preparatory and Commercial Course; (2) to eliminate from College Preparatory and Commercial

Courses pupils not essentially fitted to those courses, thus removing what have been hampering influences in those courses; (3) to make the Commercial Course essentially a vocational course, so far as our limited facilities permit, and in no sense a refuge for pupils who are misfits in the College Course.
The reorganization took the following form:
1. Manual Arts Course
a. Provide ten periods of work per week each year centering directly about the shop, including Mechanical Drawing, Shop Mathematics and Shop Work. (Foods, Clothing, Household Management, etc., for girls.)
b. Since many pupils in this course will enter industry through the trades or manufacturing end, provide a survey of busi- ness organization.
c. Provide as other required academic work principally courses in the Social Studies (History, Economics, etc.,) and English.
d. Provide elective opportunity in a foreign language, art, science, etc., for those who desire it.
2. Commercial Course
a. Eliminate one foreign language. (Spanish)
b. Bring up from the Junior High School the course in Com- mercial Geography, placing it in Grade 10 where it is usu- ally placed.
c. Introduce a course in Business Organization.
d. Place additional stress on clerical work (filing, operating duplicating and computing machines, etc.)
e. Provide opportunity for a pupil to follow an elective branch in which he is interested (foreign language, history, science, etc.)
