NO-SCHOOL SIGNAL

It is the policy of the School Committee to order the no-school signal only in the most severe weather conditions or when the transportation service is in- terrupted. At other times parents are expected to use their own judgment in sending children to school.
Report of the School Committee
To the Citizens of Mattapoisett :
The School Committee submits herewith its report for the year ending December 31, 1951.
This year has been marked by the construction of new school facilities toward which the School Com- mittee and the Building Committee have looked for a long time.
The annual census of children indicates that two classrooms will be needed for each new first grade as it comes to school at least through 1957. It is gratify- ing to know that we shall have room for all who are expected for a good many years to come.
With the ninth grade now retained in the Center School we have restored the six-year elementary school and three-year junior high school. It is expected that the graduates will be able to attend Fairhaven High School.
The 1952 budget is necessarily higher than that of 1951 principally because of the teachers' salary item. We have had to increase the number of teachers and must add another in September. Teachers' salaries are generally higher elsewhere and we feel that a flat raise of $150 should be given in addition to the usual raises for teachers not on the maximum salary.
The Committee would like to improve the grounds by grading the newly aacquired part on Hammond Street and building a new backstop for a relocated base- ball diamond. At some time we should like to com- plete the fencing of the north side of the grounds.
Respectfully submitted,
NELSON F. TINKHAM, Chairman RITA H. DUNN, Secretary JONATHAN W. KINNEY, Agent

THE CENTER SCHOOL
As the calendar year comes to a close we are pleased with the progress of the new addition and hope to make use of it soon.
The estimated enrollment of 430 pupils for next fall will require one additional teacher. There will still be one combination grade room.
The choice of good textbooks is a continual problem. Teacher committees have assisted the superintendent in recommending changes when older texts needed to be replaced.
The Center School has continued to serve the Town as an excellent educational institution. The problems of organization of classes and the many other activities of the school have been ably handled by the Principal and a fine staff of assistants.
Respectfully submitted,
FLAVEL M. GIFFORD,
Superintendent of Schools
Report of the Principal
To the Superintendent of Schools:
A recent report from the National Education Asso- ciation, "Schools of Our Times," states that schools must be adjusted to the needs of our times, must be taught by professionally prepared teachers, must be staffed by teachers who are adequately paid, must be housed in adequate buildings, must be supported by a defensible financial program, must contribute to sound character and ethical conduct, must prepare youth for making a living, must lay the basis for loyalty and good citizenship, must contribute to appreciation and crea- tiveness in cultural values, and must discover and de- velop talent.
To fulfill this responsibility is a big task that re- quires the combined cooperation and effort of all citi- zens.
NEW ADDITION: By the time this report is pub- lished we hope to be in our new addition. The school has been badly crowded with this fall finding two class- rooms in the auditorium and two in the basement. Even though good buildings do not insure good teaching they are a great asset. We shall be proud and happy to be in the new addition. Four rooms will be occupied im- mediately. One, possibly two, more in September, one more in 1953, and in 1954 all eight rooms will be in use.
DENTAL CLINIC: The dental clinic that has been so successful under Dr. Teasdale and Mrs. DeCosta, has been discontinued due to the inability of Dr. Teasdale to continue the project. Although impossible to have
243
a clinic this year we hope that something may be work- ed out for next year.
NEW EQUIPMENT: During the year money has been raised by a rummage sale, food sale, paper drive, and donations to install darkening shades, bicycle racks, plant shrubbery around the new addition, and to add to the piano fund. We hope to add another sec- tion to the bicycle rack, to add to our visual aid equip- ment, and to build up our school library. We should also like to have electric clocks installed in the class- rooms not already so equipped.
TEXTBOOKS: Mattapoisett and Fairhaven teach- ers have worked together on textbook committees studying textbooks in geography, arithmetic, and lang- uage and have made reports to the Superintendent. As a result new arithmetic books have replaced the old and geography and language books are promised soon.
APPRECIATIONS: The school appreciates the many kindnesses shown it by various groups, The Ameri- can Legion for its fruit at Christmas, and other or- ganizations which donated to the dental clinic, and to the support of other school activities. The Parent- Teacher Club is to be congratulated for its fine coop- eration with the school and for its support of the soup kitchen, the milk program, and its contributions to the school for other projects.
It would be impossible for me to express my thanks to all who have assisted us at Center School. I am ap- preciative, however, of the support and interest which has been so much in evidence during the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
ROLAND C. WEEKS,
Principal

A dental survey of the entire school has been made by Mrs. Bernadine Tassinari, Dental Consultant in the Department of Public Health. Notices of de- fects have been sent to all parents.
It is with regret that we accept the resignation of Dr. George M. Teasdale who has conducted our den- tal clinics for twelve years. His clinics have been commended by the State Department of Public Health.
Vision tests with the Massachusetts Vision Testing equipment found 59 children failing to pass the test, 33 current and 26 new. All parents have been notified and some children have already received treatment.
Diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough inocula- tions were given to 78 children including 48 school children and 28 pre-school children.

SCHOOL AGE
Children may enter the first grade if they are five years and six months of age on or before September 1 of the current school year. Consequently children will be admitted to the first grade in September 1952 if born on or before March 1, 1947. Certificates of birth and vaccination are required at time of entrance.
Parents desiring to enter children in the school for the first time should register them with the Principal on May 16, or August 29.
250
All children must attend school between the ages of 7 and 16. Certain exceptions may be made by written permission of the Superintendent of Schools for child- ren who have reached the age of 14.
EMPLOYMENT OF MINORS
Educational certificates are required for all per- sons under 21 who are employed in manufacturing, mechanical, mercantile, and certain other establish- ments, and in certain trades. These certificates may be obtained at the office of the Superintendent of Schools or from the Principal of the Center School. The minor must appear in person and should present a birth certificate. If the minor is between the ages of 14 and 16 and the employment involves leaving school, permission must be obtained from the Superintendent of Schools personally.
