The changes, brought about by the war, in the home and civic life af- fect not only our regular school work, but the extra curricula activities, and make it exceedingly difficult to accomplish the amount of school work we did before the war. There are more opportunities to work after school and Saturdays in stores and factories and so less time is given to studying daily lessons. A good number of Seniors work during the night shift in the Navy Yard or on Defense Work. They work usually from 3:00 P.M. to 11:00 or 12:00 P. M."
ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS
The pupils of the elementary schools have responded nobly to all ap- peals for saving metal, tin, paper and other materials for which drives have been made. Especially, have they responded to the appeal to pur- chase War Stamps.
The pupils pledged to purchase stamps during the summer. They have increased their purchases since September and apparently, they in- vested their Christmas presents of money in this cause, because the amount was over one hundred dollars, the first week after vacation. The teachers are also buying both stamps and bonds outside of the school pur- chases as well as buying some through the schools.
The Montrose Parent-Teacher Association presented the school audi- torium a beautiful taffeta-rayon flag with staff and standard to be used at all assemblies. The school appreciates this gift very much and enjoys it keenly.
The professional attitude of the teachers is definitely good. Many have been taking extension courses with no other incentive than the knowl- edge that a worthy member of the profession has dedicated himself to a lifetime of study. The professional attitude of the others is clearly dis- played in the conscientious manner in which they carry on their work, in spite of the unusual conditions and difficulties of a war year.
The Franklin School Parents' Group has presented the school with a piano, a radio-phonograph for assemblies, some gymnasium equipment and scales for weighing the school children. These gifts are fully appreciated by pupils and teachers.

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
Parents' night was observed in several schools following the issuance of the first bi-monthly pupils' reports. The purpose of them was to afford to both mothers and fathers, the opportunity to meet the teachers of their children. Such visits are productive of a firmer rapprochement between parents, teachers and pupils.
Regularly a health check-up is made in the grades. Cleanliness and the care of the hands, nails, neck, face, teeth, hair and personal appear- ance are noted. Due precaution is taken not to embarrass any pupil. In this way the children are made cleanliness-conscious.
HEALTH
The following paragraphs taken from the report of the School Phy- sician concern the health of the students in the Wakefield Schools for the past year.
The physical condition of the students may be considered good. There was no evidence of malnutrition. An occasional student was noted who was underweight.
In my former report I went into some detail concerning the care of the teeth, yet it is far from perfect. A record of all cavities, fillings and perfect teeth has been made and recorded.
In the High School there were 113 students who have facial blemishes. Just as good teeth need constant care and attention, so too, does the skin require the same diligent care. When one constantly insults the skin facial blemishes result. In the examination of the grammar grades, some children were noted with skin conditions, the precursor of facial blem- ishes. This is the fault of the parent in not seeing that the child washes properly daily.
Due to war time schedule, children must arise when it is dark outside and dress and bathe by artificial light. This is the first year that child- ren ever had to arise from bed with darkness outside. Parents should see therefore that their children wash properly before going to bed.
A greater responsibility now rests on the teachers, and they must con- stantly check on their students to make sure that the children have not neglected their morning hygiene.
The year 1942 finds our country fighting a global war and many of the Senior Students are subject to call to the armed forces of our country. As the war continues, the Junior students may also join the armed forces when they reach the age of eighteen years. It has been shown that very exacting physical training is necessary to fit the recruits for what lies before them, and much time and thought should be given to the program that will harden, toughen, and physically fit each student in the High School.
We must begin in their early years to teach children proper habits. We must make good health habits so interesting that young people will have an incentive for practicing them.
204
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
As matters stand, children often reach High School with too little knowledge of health principles. It must be admitted that under our crowded conditions and with our limited health personnel, too many young people leave High School without much change in their health status!
In a former report, I mentioned the importance of Pre-School Exam- inations. This coming year I hope to make the Pre-School Examination a reality.
A history of the child's diseases would also be recorded. Any defect noted should be remedied before the child goes to school in September, upon the advice of the family physician. The time lost from school in the first grade would be considerably lessened, since this grade is the foundation of the child's education.
ยท USE OF BUILDINGS
The facilities of the High School are used to a large extent by various branches of the Civilian Defense, Red Cross, Scouts and 4-H Clubs. The Greenwood and Montrose Schools are used to a lesser extent. All this extra usage entails extra expenses for light and heat. These are borne by the School Department.
LEAVE OF ABSENCE
The following are on leave with the Armed Forces :-
TEACHERS
Homer Shellenberger-with the U. S. Navy
Robert D. King-with the U. S. Army
Lucian Colucci-with the U. S. Army
Francis W. Dinan-with the U. S. Navy
GENERAL WORK
Charles B. Lally-with the U. S. Army
RETIREMENTS
Mrs. Eva M. Chick retired because of poor health at the end of the school year in June 1942, after teaching sixteen years in Wakefield. She taught in the Lincoln School for nine years and for seven years in the Franklin School.
Mrs. Chick was thoroughly interested in the progress of her pupils and gave unstintingly of her time and energies. The pupils who passed through her grades received a thorough foundation for the advanced work in the High School and the need of this preparation was kept constantly before them.

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
We hope Mrs. Chick will have many years to do the things she has always wanted to carry on.
Mr. Michael M. Neary, after fifteen years of service as school custodian, retired on December 31, 1942, because of ill health. Mr. Neary served at the Hurd School for three years and at the Greenwood School for twelve years.
The community has lost the valued services of a faithful worker and friend in the retirement of Mr. Neary, for many years the custodian of the Greenwood School.
We wish him many years of happiness in his retirement.
ATTENDANCE
Truancy in the High School has been frequent. Absences, tardiness and dismissals have been altogether too numerous.
The problem of what to do with the fourteen-to sixteen-year old children has again been a source of anxiety for the attendance department. Here we have many of these children, mostly in the first and second year classes at High School, and some in the Elementary Schools, not much interested in their school work, yet compelled by law to attend. The law prohibits employment until a minor is sixteen years of age, except with permission of the Superintendent of Schools. Federal regulations prohibit the employment of any child under sixteen years of age on work in connection with goods shipped in Interstate Commerce.
The Supervisor of Attendance is compelled by law to report violations of the Labor Laws.
MAINTENANCE
The Committee Agent has rendered the following as a report on the maintenance of school property:
No large project was undertaken during 1942 on account of the diffi- culty in obtaining priorities for building materials and also because of their increased cost. The largest paint job was the wood trim on the North and East sides of the High School and four classroom ceilings and walls. Another fairly large project was the changing over of the thermostatic type of traps in the fan heating room of the High School to the float and thermostatic traps.
The Wakefield Light Department co-operated with our Department in granting the use of its air compressor to blow out regularly the boiler tubes in the High and Lincoln Schools.
More attention was given to Walton Field than in previous years through the "rolling down" of the soil by the Highway Department gaso- line roller, after grass seed had been sowed. The running track was scarified and rolled after several tons of cinders from the High School boilers had been spread on the track during the Winter months.

TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
Five rooms were made available for the Headquarters of the Ameri- can Red Cross and its volunteer services in the Lincoln School. Rooms were also provided, as well as janitor service, light and heat, in several schools for courses of instruction by the Red Cross, Defense Corps and Air Raid Precaution Unit. Three schools have been made available as headquarters for the Auxiliary Police.
At the Montrose School a wooden platform and set of stairs were re- moved and replaced with concrete. The Auditorium floor was refinished and blackout shades in the skylights were replaced.
The entire second floor, ceilings and walls, and two stairwells were renovated at the Hurd School. Ten new window sash were set in the basement and the old sash was used as storm windows. The library was removed to the office of the Principal. Rockwool was purchased for the insulation of the attic space. This is expected to conserve considerable heat. Another large saving was made in the use of coal over the previ- ous year through the operation of the stoker for the second year. Eight tons less of soft coal were burned than in the Winter of 1940 and 1941.
The Auditorium floor of the Woodville School was sanded and refin- ished. The use of floor oil in this building and the Montrose and Hurd Schools has been abandoned and all floors have been treated with a wood seal preservative.
The Warren School building went through its first Winter season with the modern heating installation of 1941 and a saving of fuel.
Per Pupil Costs
The cost per pupil for instruction and maintenance, exclusive of gen- eral control, based on the average membership for the school year 1941- 1942 is as follows:
High School
$ 123.27
Elementary Schools
82.09
All Public Schools
97.44
State 114.06
Total Expenditures for 1942
$ 283,326.82
Receipts for 1942
42,584.13
Net cost from local taxation
$ 240,742.69
The Town is very fortunate in that the School Department did not in- stall oil heating systems when the changes were made in the Hurd School in 1940 and the Warren School in 1941. All schools burn coal and not a school day has been lost on account of lack of heat.
Respectfully submitted,
WILLARD B. ATWELL,
Superintendent of Schools.
