REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
average salary for women elementary teachers in the State is $1431, for High School teachers the average for the State is $1770.
HOUSING
Completion of the additions at Greenwood and Franklin will take care of these districts for several years. The enrollment in the upper grades at the Greenwood School has increased to such an extent that beginning with January 1, 1927, an additional room must be opened for the seventh grade. This make 14 rooms in regular use as classrooms which leaves 4 rooms for expansion. The time is nearing when we shall have to use one of the rooms in Greenwood which is now used by the library.
Last year we had a "special class" in the Lafayette building. This has been transferred to the extra room at the portable building at the Lincoln School because we needed the room which we had been using at the Lafayette.
The Hurd School is full. Because primary registration is larger than the seating capacity we have engaged an extra teacher to take care of the overflow. She has to hold recitations in the teachers' room, which is not entirely satisfactory. By using one of the rooms in the portable at the Lincoln it would be possible to change the district line between the Lincoln and Hurd districts and thereby relieve the congestion here. This is a temporary expedient and will take care of the situation for no more than from three to five years. The length of time depends largely upon the rapidity of the growth of that section which lies at the head of the lake.
The districts which need study at the present time are the Lincoln and Hurd, together with a change in conditions at the Lafayette. The Lafayette Building can be made to serve for a few years more by utiliz- ing rooms 10 and 1 which are really too large for classroom purposes.
EVENING SCHOOL
Enrollment this fall was much larger than that of the two proceding years. The restriction of immigration is necessarily making the number fewer in the Americanization group.
The dressmaking and cooking courses of the Practical Arts Depart- ment are well attended, but the Millinery Class is not meeting with much success. The cheapness of hats and the simplicity of design seem to ac-

count for the lack of interest, as the same report is received from other communities.
The Commercial branch of our school has been well attended. Many of the members of this course are graduates of High School.
There have been several requests for work which will allow credit toward a High School diploma. There are many who, for one reason or another. have not completed a High School Course. I believe that supply- ing these people with an opportunity to do so would be a very worthy function of the evening school, with more valuable results than those at- tained by some other branches of it. To carry on such a project, it would be necessary to expend more money than now. A very careful survey of time requirements and teacher requirements would be necessary. The time is not far off before there will be a decided demand for such a school.
There are two club classes on Water Street. They have been weil attended, yet we believe they should come to the High School for their work during another year. There should be a class for the mothers in that district. and we are planning to open one in Januarv. There is also a request for an afternoon millinery class and this will be opened as soon as we are assured of a sufficient number

CLASS SONG
Oh, dear old Wakefield High School, We're leaving you tonight; God give us strength and courage To keep thine honor bright.
To ever hold before us The grace and truth you taught; To use with keen devotion The learning that we sought.
To steer our little vessels Down a golden river bright; To live for flag and honor To try with all our might.
Now that our work is over Now as we say good-bye God bless the friends and classmates We had in Wakefield High.
