There has been definite progress throughout the school system during the year covered by this report. The com- pletion of the Hedge School, establishment of the Fresh Air School, opening the South Street Shop for over-age boys, admission of under-age children to school on the basis of the Binet Test, placing the School Physician on a time and salary basis, employment of a Director of Physical Educa- tion for the boys at the two High Schools, extensive repairs and renovation, additions to equipment,-all indicate united interest and activity on the part of the people and those who put into effect their wishes in educational develop- ment of their children.
Recommendations are included in those paragraphs of this report relevant to the particular items recommended. They will be brought before the Committee as time for discussion and action permits.
60
The professional attitude towards their work and inter- ested encouragement of children on the part of those in the system directly responsible for their health and school- ing is commendable.
My appreciation is expressed to the Committee for the thoroughly business-like and genuinely sympathetic man- ner in which they grasp the needs of the school system in relation to the money appropriated by the people and clear the way for progressive education.
Respectfully submitted,
HORACE F. TURNER,
Superintendent of Schools.
