Voted to put in the warrant an article to sell the house on the prop- erty purchased adjoining the Hurd School lot. This transaction was com- pleted in November.
For the purpose of more efficient administration, the elementary school districts were re-arranged: Warren - Mr. Philie, Hurd and Lincoln - Mr. Shea, Franklin and Montrose - Mr. Black, Greenwood and Woodville --- Mr. Leonard, and West Ward - Miss Kernan.
Mr. Jules I. Philie was again appointed supervisor of elementary education.
With the lifting of wartime transportation bans, the committee was able to provide noontime transportation for bus pupils at the Montrose School, thus enabling them to be at home for a hot noon meal.
The 7th grade pupils at the Hurd School were transferred to the Montrose School to give relief in the crowded lower grades at the Hurd School. These pupils were transported by bus.
The West Side Social Club was given permission to use a room, unused for school purposes, in the Hamilton School building as temporary quarters.
Permission was continued for the use of the High School gymnasium for CYO basketball.
Use of the High School on Tuesday evenings for the Civilian Air Patrol was granted.
The committee recommended to the town the purchase of land adjoin- ing the Greenwood School in order to safeguard the lighting of school rooms. This land was later purchased.

TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
With the cessation of hostilities, the committee welcomed, with thank- fulness for their safety and gratitude for their service, the return from the armed forces of the following members of the department: Homer Shellen- berger returned to the Physical Education Department in December and Charles B. Lally returned to his work with the custodial staff in November.
With a view to discovering school population shifts or increases, a census was taken of children under required school age in the West Ward, Woodville and Warren districts.
Appointments in 1945 included that of S. Morton Sherman as Faculty Manager, succeeding Sub-Master Roland H. Kinder who had asked to be relieved, and William B. Black as principal of the new district, Montrose and Franklin Schools.
John Daley, a World War II veteran, was appointed Military Drill In- structor to begin his duties in January, 1946.
Francis Dinan was appointed principal of the Lincoln-Hurd Schools to assume his duties upon the retirement of T. Frank Shea.
John M. Hennessey, who had formerly given some time as custodian of the West Ward School, was assigned full time to school maintenance.
Two valued members of the department retired after long and dis- tinguished service. Miss Ethel G. Reed retired on February 1, 1945, after 331/2 years as teacher of English in the High School, and Mrs. Eleanor B. Ringdahl retired on February 27, 1945, after 26 years as teacher in the grade schools. For 20 years of this time she served as principal of the Hurd School. Their service lives and flourishes in the minds of the hundreds whom they have taught.
Miss Bessie E. David, for 371/2 years a teacher in the Warren School, died on April 22, 1945.
Edward T. Clothey, custodian at the High School, died on January 6, 1945. Resolutions concerning the faithful service of these departed associ- ates were entered upon the committee records and copies sent to the fami- lies of Miss David and Mr. Clothey.
William E. Eaton, editor and compiler of the TERCENTENARY HISTORY OF WAKEFIELD, on behalf of the Town Tercentenary Com- mittee, presented a copy of the History to each school building.
Mrs. Winfield Scott Ripley presented to the High School a document "Rules of the South Reading High School, 1845" in the handwriting of Lilley Eaton, who was, in 1845, chairman of the School Committee. This document was framed and placed in the Charles H. Howe Memorial Library in the High School.
A constructive step in Wakefield's effort to aid veterans in their post- war educational plans was taken in December in the appointment of Wake- field High School as a "Regional High School" for the instruction of re- turned veterans.
Steps were taken to obtain a survey by competent engineers of Walton Field, its layout, proper orientation for the various sports, etc. This survey will be ready in 1946. Price quotations on new bleachers were also obtained.
The committee desires to continue to carry out a flexible and compre-

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
January, 1946
To the School Committee:
I herewith submit my annual report for the year 1945.
Because of the shortage of paper it would seem wise to shorten the written statement. It is required to publish some of the statistics which will be found in the appendix. The publication of some of these is required by statute, but others seem to be necessary as a part of an historical record.

During the war the boys have been very restless, especially members of the Junior and Senior classes. They were anxious to get into the armed services and enlisted before they were called by the Selective Service Board hoping to be assigned to a branch of their choice. I am happy to report that since V-J Day there has been a change in the attitude of the students towards the school work. They are beginning to realize that a high school diploma really means something. I believe the attitude towards education of returned veterans and the alacrity with which they turn to a school for a chance to get that high school diploma have made a marked impression upon the students.
There have been so many inquiries from returned veterans in Wakefield and surrounding towns on how and where can I go to finish my high school work. In answer to these questions, the State Department of Education has designated the Wakefield High School as a' "Regional Veterans' School."

TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS
The Committee made a distinctive move forward in re-establishing a former "district" combination of schools. This necessitated the appoint- ment of another principal.
The districts are now as follows: Warren; West Ward; Lincoln-Hurd; Montrose-Franklin; Greenwood-Woodville.
Much more should be done with "visual education" and to this end I have asked for a sound projector for use in the elementary school. The value from the use of such a machine has been amply demonstrated by the Army, and the results of studies made at Harvard and Columbia Uni- versities show there is an increase of from twenty to forty per cent in amount learned by pupils.
The pupils participated in the sales of War Stamps and Bonds through the help of local banks. Each week each bank sent representatives to every school to take charge of the sales. A flight in an airplane over this district was given to a boy for his excellent work in promoting these sales.
Every school held exercises in commemoration of the cessation of hostilities in Europe. The spirit and attitude of all the pupils, including students in the high school, was something to strengthen our faith in the young people. One principal's report was typical, "Never have I seen boys and girls show a more dignified attitude than they did on this occasion and at the Memorial Day exercises."
Conference nights have been held in the schools after report cards have been distributed. These nights should make a stronger link between the homes and schools and should promote a healthier understanding of school problems.
The following is taken from the report of the Supervisor of Elementary Instruction :
"Emphasis has been placed on reading during this school year. I have met with the teachers of grades 4, 5, and 7 to discuss with them some of their reading problems. I presented and explained to them a group reading plan, whereby the actual classroom reading time and reading material for each child can be increased about threefold. Two demonstrations of this type of activity are to be given this year.
"At the end of last year standard reading tests were given to all the pupils of grade one. The results of these tests were shown and discussed with each first-grade teacher. In certain cases the tabulated results showed certain weaknesses in the teaching of the subject that never before had been apparent.
"The results of the Stanford Achievement Tests that were given to the pupils of grades 7 and 8, were further tabulated this year; the results of the arithmetic section were analyzed and copies of the 10 problems with the highest frequency of errors will be passed out to grade teachers to be taught with greater emphasis."
179
REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
HEALTH
The school physician reports he has examined all high school students who had not been examined the previous year.
All candidates for athletic teams have been examined carefully to make sure they are physically fit. Some pupils were examined after they had been out for practice; now the ruling is "All candidates shall be examined before they participate in sports in any way."
The pupils of grades 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 were inspected carefully. Pupils of grades 5 and 9 were thoroughly examined, especially the heart, lungs, tonsils, teeth and ears. The examinations showed:
Diseased Hearts
43
Tonsils That Needed Attention 225
Teeth That Needed Attention 1,646
In all cases, notices were sent to the parents, calling their attention to the defects. There has been very little contagious disease in town. The school physician calls attention to two sections in the town where there is a low percentage of children immunized against diphtheria in 1945. The percentage immunized is listed below by districts:
Lincoln
83%
Hurd
79 %
Montrose
66%
Woodville
86%
Franklin
80%
Greenwood
94%
Warren
96%
West Ward
89 %
St. Joseph's
100%
The school nurse reports as follows: "I have assisted the school doctor in examining all school children in the immunization of the first-grade pupils, and I assisted the Board of Health nurse in immunizing the pre- school children. I also assisted at the State Public Health Tuberculosis Clinic-X-raying the freshmen and seniors.
"The following is a summary of special work besides regular visitation to the classroom and inspections:
First-Aid-Cases 794
Home Calls 84
Taking Individuals to North Reading Sanitarium 5
Waltham 3
Assisted at X-rays, Number of Pupils 475
Number of Teachers and Janitors X-rayed 12
"Results of X-raying findings-all negative."
During the year the department lost by death a teacher, Miss Bessie David, who had taught in Wakefield since 1907. Her work with the children was truly educational. She did not spare herself in doing for the pupils in the school room nor in outside activities.
180
TOWN OF WAKEFIELD
Early in January, Mr. Edward Clothey, a janitor in the high school passed away suddenly. Mr. Clothey always did his work with interest and in a full measure and did this with a smile.
During the year there were two retirements. Miss Ethel Reed had taught in the high school since 1911, retiring in February. She rendered valuable service all this time as the pupils who passed through her classes will attest. We wish Miss Reed a happy life in her retirement and a chance to do some things which she may have had in mind.
Mrs. Eleanor Ringdahl retired in May after teaching here since 1919. She spent twenty years as a principal at the Hurd School. Mrs. Ringdahl was an efficient teacher in every sense of the word. She brought to the school much material to help her pupils keep aware of things outside of regular school activities. We wish her continued happiness in her retire- ment.
MAINTENANCE
The following is the report of the Maintenance Department.
"The Maintenance Department was again handicapped in its work by the shortage of materials and help which continued on account of the war conditions. The largest project undertaken was at the West Ward School where new ceilings were erected in the classrooms, new lighting fixtures installed, entire roof re-shingled and the exterior painted. A new water service pipe was laid at the Woodville School.
"At the High School, 98 boiler tubes were replaced in No. 3 Boiler thus placing all three boilers in first-class condition for many years' service. The bleachers in Walton Field were maintained by this department for the first time.
"Several hundred minor repairs were made during the year. The Department has placed John M. Hennessey upon full time maintenance work, believing that the large investment of the town in school property deserves continuous upkeep and repair."
