ANNUAL REPORT

OF THE

School Committee

OF THE

TOWN OF SCITUATE

SATUIT

For the Year Ending December 31 1959

SANDERSON BROTHERS NORTH ABINGTON, MASS.

REPORT OF THE SCITUATE SCHOOL COMMITTEE

To the Citizens of Scituate:

For the past ten years these reports have had one thing in com- mon, the problem of housing. The next decade has had a number of tags attached to it already, the commonest perhaps being the "Soar- ing Sixties." Everything will be characterized by more - and that includes more children in the Scituate Schools. A lot of people be- lieve Scituate is a good place to live and to raise children. This year we were forced to cancel Kindergarten and continue Double Sessions in grades 7-12. So I must report that, notwithstanding the fine support by the citizenry, the problem of housing still confronts us in the near future at the elementary level.

Nevertheless we owe thanks in great measure to the School and Public Building Committee. Work was started on a 10 room addi- tion to the present high school and also on an 800 pupil Senior High School. It is intended that the former will be occupied in January of 1960 and the later in September of 1960. If all goes well the so- called Double Session will be ended permanently, we hope.

Unfortunately the success of the educational process is not as- sured by adequate housing. The four walls of adequate housing, while necessary, are of little importance, in the opinion of your com- mittee, compared to what takes place within them. And, to a large extent, what happens there lies in the hands of the dedicated teacher, and Scituate is blessed with many.

In this respect the year marks a great step forward in that an Administrative Assistant was appointed, with the aim of taking off the Superintendent's shoulders much business detail, thus allowing him to spend more time with teachers and curriculum, where his natural talents lie.

Perhaps the greatest shock encountered by the schools in the year past was the resignation of Edward K. Chace, Superintendent of Schools. Mr. Chace was honored by a call to even larger responsi- bilities in another state, a compliment both to him and Scituate. We wish to thank him for all he has brought to our schools and to
