REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE


To the Citizens of Weymouth :


The School Committee submits its report for 1943, together with the Annual Report of the Superintendent, Mr. Charles R. Thibadeau.


The Weymouth School System has passed through another year of World War II. The impact of this terrific struggle in which our country is involved has, of course, been felt by our entire department. Many of our teachers and one member of our maintenance department have been granted leaves of absence to join the armed forces, and others have resigned for reasons directly connected with the war effort. All of these vacancies have been filled with efficient personnel.


The Student enrollment continues to show a decrease. This is due, in the senior year of the High School, to the entrance of our boys in the Army, the Navy, and the Marine Corps. The drop in the first three years of the High School is probably due to employ- ment possibilities made available when the older and employed out- of-school youth go into war production work and military service. The slight differences in the elementary enrollment may be the result of birth rate variations.


The new courses which have been added to our curriculum are proving their worth. The study of Aviation is being stressed and everything possible is being done to prepare our students for their places in society, whether in peace or in war.


The 1942 report mentioned the unsatisfactory manner in which the transportation of students to and from school was being handled. This matter has been given complete study. The Committee feels that there has been some improvement. . This important part of our School Department will be given the continued scrutiny that it . merits.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS


To the School Committee:


As Superintendent of the public schools of Weymouth I respectfully submit my fourth annual report, the fifty-eighth in such a series.


For the third consecutive year its preparation has been attended with due consideration to the request that the department reports be made as brief as possible.


SCHOOLS IN WAR - Our schools have felt and are continuing to feel the impacts of war. They have shared their personnel, materi- als, equipment, and buildings. They have continued to respond en- thusiastically to many demands made of them. The School War Savings Program is a notable example of a continued service in the war effort. During the year ending December 31, 1943, pupils have purchased bonds and stamps amounting to $23,269.40 in the High School, and $72,512.25 in the elementary grades, a total of $95,781.65.


The schools have not, however, lost sight of their fundamental function,-contribution to the building of a strong and better America. The elementary schools have continued to teach the fundamentals and have mét the demands for assistance as added responsibility on. an extra- curricular basis. There has been new and added emphasis as conditions demanded. New techniques have been employed. Old techniques have been been modified or extended. Objective data have been col- lected and studied. Diagnostic procedures have been applied and have resulted in proper remedial programs. At this point attention is called to the report of the Director of Courses of Study.


On the high school level, adaptation has meant changing the content of some courses, adding new courses, and changing or re- directing emphasis. There also the demands for assistance have been met as added responsibility and, so far as possible, outside of school hours.


Some of our best pre-induction training has been accomplished through doing well the work of some of the regular prescribed courses. In other courses it has meant new emphasis and re-direction of emphasis for certain subjects. As a general statement it may be said that except in a few specific areas good education in most of the regular courses in our rather comprehensive high school offering has provided excellent pre-induction training. Wherever it was considered that our contributions to this effort would be increased by extending our offering, such extension was made. When it was considered that greater contribution could be made by the addition of certain courses, those courses were added. The guiding principle has been - "What specifically do the armed services expect our pupils to possess when they are graduated from our High School; and what do they need to compete favorably with pupils from similar institutions?" As we have found the answer, we have applied our efforts to achieve those ends.


94


At this point attention is called to the reports of the Principal of the High School and the Director of the Vocational School.


The following statements from the reports of other departments and of supervisors will provide further information relative to the total contribution of our schools to the pre-induction program.


"The Physical Education program in the High School and ele- mentary grades during the past year placed continued emphasis on 'physical fitness'. Importance of preparing physically the older boys and girls of the High School for war services, i. e., service in the armed forces, work in industry, agriculture, business, and essential community services, determined the type of program."


The Agricultural Department has made a contribution. "During the past fall there were many calls for farm help. Throughout the harvest season, which extended from the opening of school on Septem- ber 8 through October 15, the boys worked on five dairy farms, five commercial market gardens, one general farm, one cranberry bog, one apple cold storage plant, and one feed store. This work involved 41 boys who worked 653} days or a total of 4,947 hours, with actual cash received amounting to $2,187.53. Not all of the 41 boys worked every day. Labor was supplied as demanded day by day. As an average, a boy worked 16 days out of possible 26, or about 120 hours, and earned $53.35; a day was about 72 hours and the rate of pay 44c, the range being from 25c to $1.20."


The Art Department contribution-"In the regular classroom work the war has formed the background of much of the subject matter. Pictures, murals, and models have been influenced by the war. Draw- ings of ships and planes, always the delight of children, have been made with more zest than ever. People shown at their daily occu- pations included the soldier, the sailor, brothers and sisters of the child, the fathers and mothers doing defense work, and the queues of people in the ration lines. The various results of the gasoline shortage and all of the other subjects, so familiar to them all, have also been used."


"In the Manual Arts Department the Navy-sponsored model airplane project was continued. £ Pupils have become increasingly air-minded and devote much outside time and money to model making."


"During the past year, the High School Library has added to the contributions of other branches of the educational system. Military events have heightened interest in books on aviation and on various branches of the service. Our good neighbor policy has brought a flood of requests for material on Pan-American subjects. And, fi- nally, a wholesome desire for a happier and more satisfactory future, abetted to a great degree by our new guidance program, has stimu- lated interest in books and pamphlets on vocations.


The Department of School Gardens and Clubs made its contribution.

"Discussions brought out the relation of the small home garden to exist- ing world conditions. The general attitude was one of sympathetic understanding. The Weymouth slogan was, 'We're in the service now.' The effort was to understand what was being done, and why, and to keep in line."


The Health Department has given much thought and study to the improvement and extension of its scope and service.


"Music is one of the chief means of maintaining the morale of the men in the armed forces., In the schools the children are becoming familiar with the songs of the soldiers, sailors, and marines, as well as the songs of other lands."


"In the Sewing Department the girls were taught in detail how to make over into useful garments clothes which could be used no longer in their original form, although possessed of very good wearing quality."


HOUSING NEEDS - War conditions have relieved temporarily the congested conditions which existed in 1940. There has been a considerable decrease in enrollment for each of the past two years. The experience for the coming year will probably show a continued decrease, particularly in the last two grades of the High School.


The postwar period, however, will see an almost immediate return to a large High School enrollment. Unemployable youth will have but two alternatives: return to school, or remain in idleness. It will, therefore, be the responsibility of school authorities and citizens to see to it that suitable building space is provided to house the kind of educational program that changed postwar conditions may demand.


Indications are that our High School facilities will not be adequate. New building space will be required to meet the needs of a new flexi- bility in the secondary school offering; more pre-vocational education as general education; an extension of vocational or trade education consistent with the demands of this particular area; all of this accom- panied with more and better guidance, placement, follow-up, in-service training and re-training programs.

THE COMMITTEE TO STUDY THE NEEDS OF VO- CATIONAL EDUCATION was continued but has not functioned during the year 1943 because of the emergency conditions. It should be continued again and be ready to pick up the potential challenges and adjust to the needs of the postwar period.


CONVERSION - When the Federal Fuel Oil Conservation Pro- gram made it necessary to conserve fuel oils, the School Department co-operated by converting the heating plant at the Abigail Adams School from an oil burning to a coal burning system on January 22, 1943.

The work of converting one boiler in the High School from oil burning to coal burning was completed in March.


The plan was to convert the second boiler during the summer vacation period. Because of conditions in the mining of coal which might result in shortages, it seemed expedient to postpone conversion until early fall. At that time conditions were such that the plans for further conversion were postponed indefinitely.


SCHOOL BUDGET - In communities such as Weymouth a sound fiscal program is one which carefully translates the ideals held, the principles accepted, and the policies adopted into dollars and cents needed to achieve the desired result. The medium for presenting these results for approval and final action is the school budget.


The community which is unwilling or fiscally unable to face and solve the problems of change, or make adjustments consistent with changed conditions-in brief, adapt itself to changing needs-has ceased to progress. Weymouth 'cannot be considered in either of these' categories. The responsibility of furnishing the leadership in such adaptation is with the administration. The school system which fails to provide the kind of services which the community needs, and which it could and would support if it understood the value and im- portance of these services, does not operate in the true meaning of educational opportunity.


For the year 1944 the budget includes in its total an amount sufficient to raise the salaries of teaching and secretarial personnel $200.00 each, effective as of April 1, 1944. Other personnel are not included because of previous or other consideration and adjustment. This is an extension of policy reaching beyond statutory requirements affecting the minimum salary of teachers as passed by the 1943 Legislature, which raise the minimum salary from $850.00 to $1,200.00 in communities of more than $2,500,000.00 valuation.


A policy has been adopted in principle for extension of the maxi- mum salaries of teaching and secretarial personnel. This has no effect on the 1944 school budget because the effective date has been left for future consideration.


GUIDANCE - With the assignment of Miss Virginia Nye to the Guidance Department, and the return of Mr. Walter Gutterson from military service, the department is becoming organized and is building up a momentum which will result in the rendering of valuable contributions to the student body.
