REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF FIRE ALARMS To the Board of Engineers:
The following report of the present state and future needs: of the Fire Aalrm system is hereby submitted.
The number of bell alarms for the year 1924 was as fol- lows:
Ward 1, 29
Ward 2, 28 Ward 3, 19 Ward 5, 18
Ten of these were sent out from the universal box. The vat -. teries and other equipment at the Central Station are good at: least for the coming year. The new motor-generator set is ready" for use in case of emergency. On the outside wire, though out- of 90 miles of wire, there are at least 30 miles which should be" replaced from now on. I recommend replacing 10 miles in each 1925. 1926 and 1927. The main portions of the outside wire will' be good for some years. There will be quite a lot of expense in- curied in the coming year in changing over to new poles which' the different companies are setting from time to time.
It will also be necessary to purchase some new equipment for installation of new wire, etc., as the old equipment is in some cases beyond any further use.
In conclusion, I would like to say that the system is in a very much more staple condition than it was last year at this time.
Respectfully, C. F. COOLIDGE, Superintendent, Fire Alarms.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of Weymouth:
Matters of detailed interest concerning the operation and progress of the schools will be found in the report of the Superin- tendent, which is adopted as a part of the report of your com- mittee.
The Committee wish to call particular attention to certain needs. One is for a more liberal policy in regard to school sup- plies and for maintenance of buildings. With certain exceptions, the school buildings are generally in good repair, and are well provided with necessary conveniences. This condition has been maintained only because of the construction in recent years of several new buildings, which, being new, have needed few repairs. During the past year some work in the improvement of existing schoolhouses that had been planned has been postponed by rea- son of emergency conditions arising or becoming known else- where.
The need for more room at North Weymouth has long been apparent. At present the grades in this part of Town, excluding the classes at the Heights, fill fifteen rooms, two of which are in the portable at the High School. Some years ago a suitable lot for the new school in Ward I was acquired. The smallest unit that should presently be constructed is one of eight rooms. With the present rate of growth in North Weymouth, such a unit might fill the needs for the next five years. Recent building operations in other towns indicate that at the present time a properly con- structed eight-room school, with fireproof stairways and wells, will, with equipment, cost at least $90,000. If a hall is to be added to the school that must be built in North Weymouth, the cost will be appreciably more.
The Committee wishes that a new heating plant might be in- stalled in the Athens School during the coming summer, but, by reason of larger items that must be met by the Town, are not asking for the same this year, however desirable it might be. It is fair to state that a large part of such cost could be met by the saving in fuel alone.
The condition of text books used by the scholars demands general immediate replacement, for which we have waited pa- tiently, but too long. General supplies have always been liberally furnished, but text books under ten years constant use do re- quire replacement.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
Members of the School Committee:
I herewith submit my sixteenth annual report, the thirty- ninth in the series of annual reports of the superintendents of this town.
This report will deal briefly with a few of the accomplish- ments of the past year, and will emphasize t the most pressing needs of the schools. I have asked the heads of the various de- partments to write concerning the work accomplished by them, and enclose their reports for a record of the year's work.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
1. Completion of the High School Extension, and its dedica- tion on June 24th. (A description of the building is given in the report of the Building Committee).
2. Elimination of the ninth grade.
3. Raising of the entrance age to five years and five months. (The average requirement in the State is five years and eight months).
4. Lengthening of the school day for children of the first and second grades to the same hours required in the other ele- mentary grades, and for the High School children to five and three- quarters hours.
5. Introduction in the High School of an industrial course in carpentry, cabinet making and wood working for boys, and prac- tical arts for girls, with tentative plans for further extension of this work.
6. Introduction of physical education for the boys and girls in the High School, with instructors of adequate training to give supervision. (Physical instruction is now required by law).
7. Installation of full moving picture equipment in the High School for visual instruction.
8. The revision of three of the outline courses of study through the medium of Teacher Committees.
9. Tentative examination of children doing unsatisfactory work with the intention of separating them into groups for inten- sive instruction. (This also is required by law).
10. Schick Test given to over fourteen hundred children and the follow-up treatment to all desiring it.
11. Complete enumeration and valuation of all school prop- erty for insurance purposes, and such changes in the buildings as were necessary to secure the lowest rates.
12. Horizontal increase of three hundred dollars to all teach- ers on the maximum, according to the vote of the Town, and suit- able adjustment for teachers under the maximum.
13. As a cumulative accomplishment may be mentioned the standing of the pupils who are graduated from our schools. For the last twelve or fifteen years our ability to fit for college and the higher institutions of learning has not been questioned. The High School has been ranked "A-1" by the State Department of Education during this entire period, and has had certificate priv- ilege to all colleges under the Certificate Board. In addition to this, many students have been fitted for the Massachusetts In-
153
stitute of Technology, which is considered by some to have the highest standard for entrance of any college, and also for many colleges which do not admit except on examination to all. In an article published in the BROCKTON TIMES in October, covering a statement issued by Principal Boyden, of the Bridgewater State Normal School, Weymouth headed the list of all cities and towns sending pupils to that institution in the quality of the work of its delegation, 77 per cent. being on the credit list. This article re- ferred to pupils in school during the year 1923-1924.
NECESSITIES
The most pressing need of the School Department at the present time is for more buildings to accommodate the children. To a person visiting the various parts of the town, it is very evi- dent that much building construction is being done, and many families are moving here, but the sum total of the growth is not evident until one examines the records.
In looking over my first report, published fifteen years ago, I find that for the school year closing June 1909 there were 2329 pupils enrolled in the schools. Of this number 304 were in the High School and 2025 in the elementary grades. By referring to the statistics taken from the registers at the close of school in June, 1924, I find that there was a total enrollment of 3221 pupils, of which number 550 were in the High School and 2671 in the elementary grades.
In 1909 there were sixteen school buildings, not counting the High School, having a total of sixty-one rooms. Since that time we have built twenty-two rooms, four at the Athens, eight at the New Hunt, and ten at the Edward B. Nevin, but from this num- ber must be deducted sixteen rooms which have been abandoned in the Bicknell School which was sold to the G. A. R., the Hollis School which has been closed, and the Bates, Howe and Tufts Schools which have been torn down, and one room at the top of the Old Hunt School which was used but never intended for a school room, making a net gain of six rooms to take care of the increase of 646 pupils. Reckoning thirty-five to a room, which is considered today the maximum number which should be placed under a single teacher, twelve more rooms should have been con- structed during this period. Part of this increase is covered by four rooms in the portables now in use, and part by transferring the ninth grade to the High School this fall as a consequence of the establishment of an eighth-grade system.
There is another factor which should be taken into account, namely, the raising of the entrance age during the last two years by seven months has shut out temporarily more than a half grade, probably one hundred and fifty pupils. This condition is tempo- rary, however, and with the opening of the schools next Septem- ber we shall again have a full number in the first grade.
The chief need is for the immediate construction of a new building at North Weymouth. It should be of a type to provide for additions and should also be constructed with the idea that it will become the future educational center for that community, and as the town grows and the present Senior High School be- comes filled to capacity, be used for a Junior High School, ac- commodating the lower grade of the Senior High School. This
154
building should also be constructed with the idea of having it be- come a community center, as there are no halls or gathering places in that part of the town outside of the churches. As soon as construction is completed, the portable near the Athens School should be moved to the vicinity of Whitman's Pond to accommo- date temporarily, at least, the increase in that section. The site of the old Town House is available. This arrangement would eliminate the cost of one transportation route and remove the pressure from the Pratt School, a four-room building, in which we have been obliged to use five and part of the time six teachers since September.
By the end of next year some provision, by portable or other- wise, will have to be made for South Weymouth. Anyone ac- quainted with conditions knows that many permanent homes are being constructed around Great Pond. The Nevin School, which receives pupils from this section, already has an average of forty pupils per teacher, the highest average of any building in town.
REPAIRS AND UPKEEP
For a number of years too little has been appropriated and used for maintenance and upkeep of the buildings. There has been no money available for beautifying school grounds or for taking care of anything except the most essential repairs. It is generally accepted that 2 per cent. is a fair allowance for repairs and upkeep of real property. For the last five years the school appropriations for ordinary repairs have been as follows:
1920
$5,000.00
1921
5,000.00
*1922
5,000.00
*1923
5,500.00
*1924
7,500.00
*During the last three years there have been special appropriations to cover specific changes and emergencies.
The following tabulation made for insurance purposes gives an idea of the actual value of school property in town, and if 2 per cent. is a fair basis for maintenance, the request for $10,000 for 1925 is not sufficient, and will have to be increased in the future :

TEXT BOOKS AND SUPPLIES
Another item that has not been properly provided for in the past is that of Text Books and Supplies. The average cost per pupil in average membership for the State according to the report of the Commissioner of Education for the year ending June 1924 was $3.88. The cost in Weymouth for the same period was $2.71. Any person with a child in the schools knows, and I am willing to admit, that we have been using our text books for building should also be constructed with the idea of having it be- too long a time. The arithmetics and spellers are in poor condi- tion and will have to be changed during the coming year. The request for $10,000, or an average of a little more than $3.00 per pupil in average membership, is not unreasonable, and. will have to be increased.
SCHOOL EXHIBIT
In connection with the dedication of the High School Exten- sion on June 24th there was an exhibit of the various activities of the schools as given below. This was inspected during the afternoon and evening by about twelve hundred people, and seemed to give pleasure to all.

EVENING SCHOOLS
Owing to lack of money and also to the fact that the High School building was not completed until the close of the school year, it was necessary to curtail the work of the Evening Schools. Nothing was undertaken along the lines of Americanization or General Education until November.
