The proposed classrooms on the east end of the build- ing, two rooms on each floor, to be used for the seventh and eighth grades to be transferred from the Jenkins and Hatherly schools would care for from seventy to ninety in each grade. Although extra rooms may be needed before many years, it would probably be cheaper to add them when needed rather than attempt to build now for a possible future increase.


The ground on this end of the building falls away suffi- ciently so that full size windows may be used for the base- ment rooms. One of these would be sufficiently large to enable lunches to be served to both the seventh and eighth grade pupils as well as the present high school group. The other room would provide a general shop for industrial activities - something that is sadly lacking at present. The quarters in the old high school now used for manual training are the least satisfactory for this purpose that the writer has ever seen in any school system.


The old high school could continue to be used as an administration building for the Superintendent of Schools and School Committee as well as a demonstration room and laboratory of the home economics department. There is no educational reason why the school lunch room and the Domestic Science Department should be connected or in the same building. The Art Department, that is doing such

superior work in such inferior quarters, might well be placed in this building also.


THE DESIRABILITY OF REGROUPING THE CHILDREN OF SCITUATE


There is no educational reason for the traditional eight- year elementary school and the four-year high school. The elementary school started as a dame school and was intended only to teach the elements of reading, writing, spelling and arithmetic. The academy was for pupils who were to be prepared for college. In the main these academy pupils received their elementary education from tutors. Gradually these two schools have grown together due to the expansion of each. The academy has added numerous courses to the language and mathematics that have always formed the backbone of college preparation and become the high school. The elementary school has also expanded its program in covering an eight-year period of preparation for the high school, making its subjects harder and harder so that none but those who could do high school work successfully would complete the course.


The modern demand for a continuous educational pro- gram for all children and not simply for those who learn easily from the printed page has forced a differentiated program. In the smaller and less densely populated com- munities grouping the seventh and eighth grades with the high school group has proven to be very profitable to the pupils concerned and need be no more expensive to the community.


Some of these advantages are the diversified program for pupils of varying abilities. Instead of requiring all pupils in these grades to carry the same program, different programs may be made for individual pupils. The number of subjects taken at any one time can differ as well as the subjects that are selected. From the pupils' viewpoint it has every advantage and no disadvantages of any consequence.


From an administrative point of view it is equally advantageous. It removes from the elementary school the adolescent boys and girls that do not fit in with the little


33


Report of Superintendent of Schools


children. It enables each teacher to have enough pupils in each subject so that no teacher is asked to prepare lessons in several fields of work. It puts all the English, Mathemat- ics, History and Science over a six-year period under the direction and supervision of the head of each of these depart- ments. The work is consequently better organized and better taught.


Last to be mentioned in this very brief survey but by no means least in the future life of the children of Scituate: grouping the seventh and eighth grades of the Jenkins and Hatherly schools with the high school pupils will enable them to have a physical education program adapted to the needs of the pupils of these groups, something that is utterly impossible to provide in the present elementary schools.


ABILITY TO PROVIDE


All expenditure is comparative; compared to our total income, to our other needs or desires, to what others are doing and paying. So school districts expenditures are com- pared to what other districts spend for similar features, to what other departments such as police, fire or street spend.


Table IV is given to show how Scituate compares with eight other Massachusetts towns. These towns are similar in population (Harwich 2,077 to Wrentham 3,214); four have a high valuation, five a much lower one, the public school population in each is small (303 in the largest town to 610 in the next largest). They have a similar location in the state and are as near similar types of communities as could be found. Scituate with next to the lowest expendi- ture for each $1,000 of wealth gives the lowest portion of its tax dollar (seventeen cents compared to thirty-nine cents for Kingston) of any of these towns for school purposes.


There is also little relationship between the ability of these towns to pay for school buildings and the amounts that they have expended. Cohasset with an assessed valu- ation of over ten millions has spent $183,000 for buildings during the past fifteen years; Hanover, with less than one- fourth the valuation and fewer children, spent $144,000; Scituate with a larger valuation than Cohasset and almost

Not only have the schools of Scituate suffered when compared with the schools in similar Massachusetts towns, but they have also suffered when compared with other town expense.

SCITUATE'S ABILITY TO FINANCE THE PROPOSED ADDITION TO THE PRESENT HIGH SCHOOL


There is no question regarding the ability of Scituate to finance its present school program. Few towns in the state have such ample resources compared to the number of children to be educated. Few have invested so little in school property; few have so small a school debt or so low a tax rate for schools.


The proposed addition to the high school will cost close to $100,000 to provide facilities that could be considered at all adequate. The only way to consider this item of cost is again on a comparison basis.


COST TO EACH HOUSEHOLDER LOW


Although the assessed valuation of Scituate is high com- pared to the population, the amount assessed against each resident householder is low. The table on page 36 shows the number out of each hundred house properties that are assessed for different amounts. Since the assessed valuation of the Town is over twelve millions to provide a $100,000 building, each householder would pay less than one dollar on each hundred dollars of assessed valuation. Seventeen


35

per cent would pay less than $15.00 each if the total cost of the addition were voted to be paid in one year. Forty per cent of the householders are assessed for less than $2,500 for their property. They would pay as their total expense for this building less than $25.00 each. Only a third of the home owners of Scituate would be called upon for as much as $50.00. Is not a building that can be pointed to with pride rather than with an apology, a building that would attract desirable permanent residents to Scituate rather than one that would cause them to locate elsewhere, a school program that meets health needs, physical needs and voca- tional needs, worth $50.00 or $25.00 or $15.00 of any tax- payer's money?

The non-residents cannot help themselves but must pay whatever the residents vote they should, but their quota is also very low. Over half of them will pay a total amount for this building of less than $35.00. An increased local tax rate of nine dollars on the thousand would raise it all in one year, or, what would be better financing, an increase in the tax rate of three dollars each year for three years would enable the Town to have the building free of all indebted- ness within a year after it was completed and add no appre- ciable burden to the taxpayer.


SUMMARY


1. Scituate has spent very little on its school buildings. A cost of $8,500 for the Hatherly, $16,000 for the Jenkins


37


Report of Superintendent of Schools


and $35,000 for the high school has not placed much of a financial burden on a community with an assessed valuation of over twelve million dollars.


2. The present school plant is inadequate in every way. The Hatherly and Jenkins schools rank so low on a school building score card that any money spent in changing them would be wasted. Scituate should eventually plan to replace these two schools with modern buildings.


3. The high school also ranks low on the score card, but unlike the grade schools its low rank is not due to poor planning but to lack of educational facilities found in a modern school plant. The addition of an auditorium- gymnasium, proper toilet facilities, shops, adequate library and reading room would materially raise its score and make it a satisfactory building.


4. The present seventh and eighth grades should be removed from the Jenkins and Hatherly schools and joined with the present high school group, making a combination junior-senior high school.


5. A unit of four classrooms with cafeteria and indus- trial arts shops in the basement rooms should be added to the present high school to care for this additional enrollment.


6. The cost of this addition to the high school would add but little to the tax burden of any householder of Scituate. Over half of the resident householders in Scituate would pay less than $30.00 as their total share of the entire cost of this $100,000 additional to the high school. For this reason it would be inadvisable to issue bonds, thus doubling the ultimate cost. Spreading the payments over three years on short-term loans when needed would see the building paid for within a year of its completion.


7. A modern school plant enables the residents of a community to "point with pride" rather than to be com- pelled to apologize. More than any other one thing it attracts desirable residents, but more than all else combined it per- mits the children to have educational advantages to which they are entitled and of which they are now deprived.


38


Report of Superintendent of Schools


From an examination of Mr. Jones' report and of the survey of Professor Blair, three conclusions stand out clearly :


(1) It would be a deplorable mistake to attempt to get the extra room we need for school accommodations by adding to either of the two elementary buildings.


(2) It would be entirely feasible, and according to the best educational procedure, to add classrooms to the present High School building to accommodate the seventh and eighth grades now housed in the Hatherly and Jenkins Schools. .


(3) To make our High School more effective and up- to-date, we should add to it a gymnasium-assembly hall unit, space for an adequate manual training workshop and for a cafeteria large enough to ac- commodate all pupils desiring a noon lunch.


In order to put these needs in definite form, sketches, showing additions to the present High School building, have been drawn up by a firm of architects who are specialists in schoolhouse construction. These plans are being shown to, and discussed with, as many groups of townspeople as possible, because the School Department wishes everybody to know the school needs and is always ready to receive con- structive criticisms upon its proposals. The cost of these additions would be not less than $100,000.


Before closing, I wish to mention the temporary retire- ment of two of our janitors. The faithful and efficient service of these men has been for a long period of years, and we wish them speedy recovery. Lewis B. Newcomb is acting janitor at the Hatherly and William Pepper at the High School.


May I call your attention to the several reports that follow, together with the school membership and attendance tables, the list of transportation routes and the financial statement.


Respectfully submitted,


HAROLD C. WINGATE, Superintendent of Schools.

Report of School Physician


REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN


To the School Committee of Scituate:


In examining the pupils I have made a routine examina- tion of the teeth, tonsils and adenoids, and have observed in cases of enlarged glands of the neck, anemia and heart disease how frequently these diseases were associated with defective conditions in the mouth. It does not seem too much to conclude that neglect in this particular region alone would result in lowered vitality, underweight, and all its attending sequela.


The Schick treatment for diphtheria was introduced last year, and will be continued this year; it is to be hoped that many will follow this lead. The total number of chil- dren treated last year was 115.


The schools have not been closed this year on account of sickness. There have been sporadic cases of scarlet fever, and diphtheria, but these have been few in number, and widely separated. Infectious colds and influenza are at present affecting the attendance, but as those absent are in most cases out only a few days it has not been deemed ad- visable to close the schools on this account.


An examination of the pupils give the following results: Number of pupils examined . 411


Number of defectives . 154


Number of corrections 20


Number of undernourished.


26


Number of overweight. 16


Of these underweight 12 were as much as 7%


9 were as much as 10%


5 were as much as 15%


Of the overweight the sixteen averaged 25 pounds each. Corrections have been made in twenty cases of throat defectives.

T. B. ALEXANDER, M.D., School Physician.
