REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the School Committee and the Citizens of Monroe:
In this, my fourth report as your Superintendent, may I make note of the fact that the cooperative attitude of the officials and townspeople in Monroe toward their school system makes my job of supervision a continually pleasant experience.
PERSONNEL
Through the adoption of a philosophy of education that at- tempts to professionalize a teaching position in Monroe, we have been able to retain the services of both Mrs. Franceschetti and Miss Havreluk. The high calibre of their teaching continues to
38
ANNUAL REPORT
produce satisfying results, the end point of any successful school program. Starting in January, we have been fortunate in secur- ing the services of Mrs. Carol Cowell of Readsboro, who is offer- ing music instruction. Mrs. Cowell comes to us with a back- ground of musical training at the Massachusetts Conservatory of Music. This training in music should broaden the experience background of all the children.
PLANT
As a first point under this item, may I publicly thank the Se- lectmen and the community for the painting of the downstairs lavatory facilities. It was an excellent job under the supervision of Mr. Oakes and complements the excellent job of maintenance which we now enjoy. New shades and oil burner have brought the condition of the school to a high standard.
BUDGET
A budget increase from $16,000 to $17,500 is due largely to the two items of tuition and teachers' salary increase, which item included the addition of music instructor.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES L. WARNER, Superintendent of Schools
for the Town of Monroe
The above constitutes our full report for the year 1956. We recommend that the sum of $17,500.00 be appropriated for the support of schools for 1957.

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF WESTERN FRANKLIN WELFARE DISTRICT
Each year seems to increase our clerical duties with statistical reporting, medical authorizations and budgetory changes. An increase of 5.07% in cost of living, effective July 1, 1956, neces- sitating the refiguring of all budgets with increases in most cases.
The unusual amount of sickness has caused considerable time to be spent in the field as well as additional expenses to towns of the district.
- Our case load has shifted from one category to another but little change in the total. The payments are higher due to cost of living increase and the unusual amount of sickness demanding more medical attention, hospitalization and nursing home care.
The following is a statistical analysis of the District activities: Number of applications taken: 11
Number of home visits made: 203
not at home

Number of office calls :

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF WESTERN FRANKLIN VETERANS' SERVICE CENTER
To the Selectmen of Monroe:
Herewith is my twelfth annual report as Director of Veterans' Services and Veterans' Agent for the ten Towns of the Western Franklin District.
For the year 1956 requests for assistance at our office numbered Nine Hundred Sixty-two. According to our records these in- cluded Forty-one Registrations for Selective Service, Thirty- eight applications for Medical and Hospital treatment and Twelve requests for assistance with Veterans Administration pensions. Photostat work is still done on Tuesday of each week and a total of Twelve Hundred Thirty-seven prints were made in 1956.
Applicants receiving Veterans' Benefits under the provisions of Chapter 115 of the General Laws, as amended, have been fewer in number than in 1955, but the total cost was greater, due to necessary Medical expenses. We have had Thirty-one applica- tions and at present have Seventeen Active Cases. A total of Twenty Three Thousand Three Hundred Ninety Two Dollars and Ninety-eight Cents ($23,392.98) was administered for the seven Towns concerned.
Our files now contain the records of One Thousand Six Hun- dred Forty-seven veterans of the Spanish War, World War One, World War Two and Korea periods. Work on the permanent records has been continued as time allowed during the past year and satisfactory progress has been made.
The total of our monthly administrative expense warrants for the past year is Five Thousand Ten Dollars and Fourteen Cents ($5,010.14), about Two Hundred Dollars less than the budget set up for 1956. The sum of Twenty-eight Dollars and Twenty-five Cents was turned over to the Treasurer for outside Photostat work done at our office.
42
ANNUAL REPORT
Assistance is still being furnished by the Veterans Administra- tion Contact Representative, Mr. Edward A. O'Neil, and this greatly facilitates our dealings with the Government. The attendance of District Committeemen at the monthly meetings is encouraging and is greatly appreciated.
Respectfully submitted,
ROBERT E. SCOTT Director and Veterans' Agent
