HIGH SCHOOL BUSINESS DEPARTMENT .- At - the High School we are seriously handicapped by the lack of facilities in book- keeping and typewriting. To get the best in bookkeeping some special equipment is necessary. Each individual should have a desk large enough to insure freedom of movement and sufficiently removed from the other desks to permit of passing in the room without interference. At the present time the pupils are using the regular seating desks of the building, which are not adapted to this kind of work.
In typewriting we are handicapped by the lack of machines. With only twelve machines the time of the instructor is not occu- pied to advantage. It would take four periods per day of the teacher's time to give daily instruction to the students taking type- writing under the present conditions. As it is impossible to take
9
as much of the teacher's time as that, the students get from three to four periods of practice per week, which is not enough for satisfactory results. With twenty-four typewriters daily practice could be given to each student, with less demand on the teacher's time.
In this connection it might be well to consider the place that the business department occupies in the school. During the last four years we have graduated 164 students from all departments. Of this number 77 have been graduates of the business depart- ment. Of the seventy-seven 28 have continued their work in business colleges, while the other 49 have secured positions im- mediately after graduating.
GROWTH IN SCHOOL POPULATION - During the last four years there has been a steady growth in the school population. In 1910 the enrollment for the school year was 2,306, in 1911 it was 2,348, in 1912, 2,432. while for the first two months of this year it has mounted to 2,516. The total membership has been larger, but I have taken the enrollment list as from that list are excluded all duplicates and the names of pupils entering from other towns during the year.
The school census shows a corresponding increase. In 1910 the enumeration showed that there were 1934 children in town between the ages five and fifteen. This year's census taken in September shows a total of 2,245 between the same ages, or a gain of 311.
This large increase in school population has caused a corres- ponding increase in school expense. New rooms have been opened, an addition of four rooms has been made to the Athens School, seven regular teachers and three special teachers on part time have been added to the teaching force. Six grade teachers and two special teachers have been added this year. If the pre- sent rate of increase continues two more grade teachers will have to be employed next year.
NEW SALARY SCHEDULE - The $2,000 voted by the town for increase of teachers'. salaries made possible a maximum of $625 for grade teachers. At the beginning of the school year, last September, the following salary schedule was put in force. First year $450, second year $500, third year $550, fourth year $600, fifth year $625. It was voted to give those teachers who had
10
served the town five years or more the maximum in September, the others to receive in accordance with the number of years ser- vice. Although this increase was not as large as desired, yet it enabled us to keep teachers that we should otherwise have lost. We hope the town will be able to grant a further increase this year.
YEARLY BALANCE - The balance to the credit of the school department is larger than it was last year, but it must be borne in mind that the new salary schedule did not go into effect until September first and that it will take $16,500 of that balance to pay salaries until April. That leaves a little over $2,000 to pay transportation and other incidental expenses for the next three months. It will take $50,000. to provide for salaries of teachers
next year. Last year's estimate was $45,200. which did not include the increase of $2,000 granted by the town or the salaries of new teachers who have since been employed. The other expenses will remain about the same.
TRANSPORTATION - At this point I wish to call the attention of the Committee to the constantly increasing cost of transportation and the difficulties involved in keeping it even within its present bounds. Although I candidly believe that transportation is one of those nostrums invented for the discomfiture of superinten- dents and those who try to regulate it, yet within certain limits it it has its value. If imaginary lines could be drawn at certain distances from the buildings and one could convince the parents that the children beyond those lines should be carried, while those just within should not, if transportation could be used for the very young, for the weak and sickly irrespective of age, for the poorly clad in cold or inclement weather, then the cost of transportation would be gladly borne and would occupy a legitimate position in school expenditure. But as long as human nature remains as it is, I presume that the foot rule rather than physical need will re- main the unit of measure and that those who have once received transportation will always expect it. If parents in those parts of the town where, unfortunately, transportation has been inauguar- ated would bear in mind that they are more fortunate than those in other parts of the town where there is no transportation, that the responsibility for getting the children to and from school belongs primarily to the parent, and is not one of the chief functions of
-
11
the school department, it would make it much easier for this de- department to regulate the giving of tickets.
NEW LABOR LAW - The new labor law which became opera- tive the first of September occasioned considerable extra office work, as every minor who was working had to have a new certifi- cate. I believe this law to be a good one, and I hope it will re- main in force without extensive modifications. It is the first law that when carried out enables the superintendent to know exatly where every minor is working.
Contrary to many of the newspaper reports, I do not belive this law has seriously interfered with the opportunity to work of minors between fourteen and sixteen. Of the 561 certificates is- sued, 76 have been made out for minors between fourteen and sixteen, 9 for illiterates over sixteen, and 476 for minors over sixteen who could read and write. From an investigation which I have recently made, I found that there are 270 minors between fourteen and sixteen in school, seventy-six at work, and twenty- four at home. These latter will have to get certificates showing profitable employment at home, or attend school. The certificates to be used for those who wish to work at home have not yet been received from the State.
PENNY SAVINGS :- The usual statistics will be found in the appendix of this report, but I would like to call your attention particularly to the report of the pupils' savings for which we are indebted to the Weymouth Savings Bank. This report shows that the deposits have been considerably larger than they were last year. The Athens, Tufts, and Washington excelled in amount of deposit. It is pleasing to note that we are getting larger deposits each year from the grammar buildings. About $500 should be deducted from the "Balance" and placed to the credit of the bank book account as the transfer was made shortly after Jan. 1.
Respectfully submitted,
PARKER T. PEARSON,
Superintendent of Schools.

JOHN THOMAS DIZER.
Thy power, almighty God, we know, Be Thou our bulwark strong and true ; Teach us as through our lives we go Thy will to do.
Let us on every step of life Unto each other helpful be ; And launched upon the sea of strife Turn oft to Thee.
Wherever Fortune's voice my lead If, heedless from Thy path we stray, Yet, Lord, in every word and deed Show us Thy way.
Let us, O Shepherd, heed Thy call While the short course of life is run ; Then as the sunset shadows fall Thy will be done.
