"We did very well in football and baseball and track and exceedingly well in cross-country. In the latter sport we won eight out of nine dual meets, also a six-cornered meet at Woburn, the State meet at Stoneham, and were eighth in the National Cross-Country meet at Newark, New Jersey."
The supervisor of the afternoon session reports in part:
"The afternoon session is made up of seven divisions of Grade Eight and twelve divisions of Grade Nine. The Ninth Grade has four College divisions, five Commercial, one English, one Industrial Arts and one High School Preparatory. This setup shows the effect of the action of the School Committee in limiting the number who could take the college course to those who, through previous records, showed that they were capable. As a result, the Latin teacher has been released to take two classes in Civics.
"There is an ever-increasing need of guidance for children in Grade Eight selecting the course to be taken in High School and in checking up the work done during the year in both Grades Eight and Nine.
"The crowded classes in physical work are a great handicap. It would seem better to make this work elective and allow more effective work to be done with smaller groups. There is need of corrective physical work which is not done now and could be done were the classes smaller.
"The pupils are suffering from the present afternoon session arrange- ment. There is a constant loss which can never be made up. The shorter periods, the inability to receive help, and the meager amount which can be given, with the abnormal time, are definitely detrimental to the progress of these children. Their school life from a social standpoint is curtailed to the zero mark and they are dominated by the pupils of the upper di- vision. As this is the period when they are most impressionable it is un- fortunate that they cannot unfold under normal conditions without the influence of older pupils.
"The eighth grades are grouped according to ability in September and January. The grouping in January is final, except in cases which show a decided error in placement, in which case an adjustment is made.
163
REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
A plan by which those who are definitely retarded shall have a schedule of work more in keeping with the ability is being worked out. There is generally one full group of these pupils. If this group could start work in Grade Eight that would carry along to the High School Preparatory course by doing work within their ability, there would be far less pupil mortality in both Grades Eight and Nine. For this group in Grade Eight there should be a class in manual and domestic arts.
"The pupils of this school need a longer school day and consequent longer periods, more time for study under direction, more opportunity to develop their artistic abilities, i.e., music and drawing, more opportuni- ties for social contacts in school, and in short, all the values which are now lacking under abnormal conditions."
The following are interesting paragraphs concerning work in the elementary schools:
"The work in character training has been continued with definite monthly assembly assignments and an outline of work in each grade to get unity and continuity in the subject. There have been three assembles during the fall term and each room will present one before the end of the year. For the past two years the teachers have been listing material for this work and we have a large amount of excellent reference data to draw upon. It is worth noting that the Massachusetts Parent-Teacher organ- ization is making character training the main object of their efforts and that there is a movement on foot to promote legislation to secure a defi- nite place for it in the curriculum.
"Close attention has been given to those who were promoted on trial and those who are repeating. It has been found that in every case the decision to have "repeat" or to "place on trial" has worked out beneficially for the child. All of those who are repeating are doing satisfactory work and all of those placed on trial are doing fair work.
"In co-operation with the school work, very valuable story hours have been held at the Beebe Memorial Library on Saturday mornings or after school hours. Many pupils are regular readers of library school books also.
"Due notice has been taken of all special days and weeks, particularly in the cases of proclamations by the Governor. The regular work has precedence, but many important matters of civic or social bearing are correlated with the work, either history or literature and language.
"One of the most important matters, that of safety, has been a frequent subject for discussion. A special day of safety attention is the day on which State Officer Andrews comes to us for his annual talk. His vivacious manner wins the most interested attention of pupils and makes a deep impression upon them.
"As a slight indication of the spirit on the part of the pupils, especial- ly the boys, the following is recited. After a brief talk on matters per-
164
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
taining to Hallowe'en while the boys were lined up at recess, the boys adopted this resolution, unanimously:
'We, the boys of the upper grades of the Lincoln School agree that we will not do anything on Hallowe'en to damage property or make trouble for others.'
"The history text books are in poor condition and should be replaced as soon as possible. The geography, English and arithmetic courses are being conducted satisfactorily and the results appear to be good.
"One point which is stressed in the language work is to insist that the children, not only speak correctly during the language lessons, but carry this over to recitations in all other subjects as far as possible, without, sacrificing interest in the subject under discussion.
"The health of the children in the schools has been carefully checked by both the School Physician and the School Nurse. The work is so essen- tial and the results are so interesting that the report of the School Physi- cian is given in full.
"The year 1933 completed the State ten-year plan, or Chadwick Clinic, for the examination of pupils for tuberculosis. Their final procedure was to give the Von Pirquet, or skin test, and X-ray and examine only those who showed reaction. Following their technique, the skin test was offered to all the pupils in the sixth and ninth grades, 189 accepting the offer, and of these 24 were positive reactors. Notice was sent to the parents with the advice to consult the family physician. Those who had no physician of choice, or who were unable or unwilling to consult one, were offered a chance for examination and X-ray at the State Sanitarium at North Reading or the County Sanitarium at Waltham. A considerable number accepted.
"The hope of curing tuberculosis is in discovering it before the child is sick. With the present knowledge, the skin test and X-ray examina- tion offer the best chance of making the diagnosis at that stage of the disease. It is the present intention to offer this to the sixth, ninth and twelfth grades in 1935.
"The pupils immunized against diphtheria in 1933 were 'Schicked'. Of the 264 so tested only 7 were not immune. These were reimmunized. In addition, 218 pupils and 10 children under school age were immunized. These will be 'Schicked' in 1935.
"I have given a complete physical examination to all pupils in the first grade, fifth grade and first year high school, using the State cards for record. As a result of this examination, 211 notices of defective teeth. were sent home, 218 notices of diseased tonsils, 22 of underweight (10% or more), 13 of heart defect, probably organic, 31 of no vaccination scar, 8 of enlarged glands, 17 of parasitic disease of the scalp, 4 of dirty and ill- smelling clothing, and an icidental list of impetigo, nasal discharge, in- flamed eyelids and skin lesions.
REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
165
"The pupils in all the other grades have been inspected for defective teeth and throat lesions, as a result 975 notices were sent home, of which 615 were for defective teeth and 345 for diseased tonsils and cervical adenitis.
"It is noticeable that the number of underweight pupils is below the average and there was slight, if any, evidence of malnutrition. There were more teeth than usual that needed attention and some badly diseased tonsils that should have treatment.
"I have examined all the girls who wished to play basketball, and those who took part in competitive sports, also the boys who played bas- ketball, the members of the track team, and all members of the football squad. I have attended the home games of football, as requested by the School Committee some years ago.
"The coaches have sent numerous minor injuries to me, mostly from football, and I have given first aid to numerous minor injuries on the school grounds. Many cases of suspected contagious or parasitic skin dis- ease have been referred to me by the principals or teachers. The visits of the school physician and nurse are often inopportune from the teach- ers' standpoint and to them of small importance compared with their own teaching work, but they have been uniformly helpful and have given our work their whole-hearted support.
"The Board of Health has loaned its nurse, Miss Nellie B. Russell, to assist in the immunizing and testing, which has been of great assist- ance. Miss Mary K. English has continued to co-operate and assist in every way possible.
"Besides the regular work of inspection and consulation in the schools, the following special work and visits have been made:

APPROPRIATION AND RECEIPTS
The committee has submitted a budget which calls for an appropria- tion of $256,500.00 for the year 1935. The receipts for 1935 are estimated to be $40,000.00 These receipts are not credited to the School Appropri- ation, but are paid into the Town Treasury. However, they do have the effect of reducing the amount to be raised by local taxation. The net cost of operating the School Department is, therefore, $216,087.36.
The estimated receipts are from the following sources:
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, on account of teachers $ 22,700.00
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Tuition, State Wards 2,943.21
Town of Lynnfield, Tuition 10,318.88
