REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
In August a Special Town Meeting was called for the purpose of discussing the proposed New High School and the addition to the Junior High School, (this is the project which has been suggested to the town for several years past). It was explained to the meeting that construction would not be started unless the approval of the Federal Government was received, under the National Recovery Act. Under the provisions of this act, the town would receive from the Government 30% of the cost of labor and materials, the other 70% to be borrowed by the town at a cost not to exceed 4% interest. The voters, we believe, were agreed on the necessity of further accommodations, but felt the expense should not be undertaken at this time owing to the unusual economic conditions.
In the Fall, money for various projects was made available to the town under authority of the Civil Works Administration. We submitted definite re- quests as outlined in the Superintendent's report. The cost of the completed work to our Department was $2,244.84 for materials and the Government paid an additional $3,409.35 for labor. This work was necessary, and was to have been done under the 1934 budget.
We want to call your attention to the ever in- creasing need for further and suitable accommoda- tions at the Senior and Junior High Schools. The following is quoted from Page 16 of the 1930 School Report relative to the Senior High School situation :
-10-
"Approximately 600 pupils, therefore, must be provided for." The present enrollment in the Senior High School is 697 pupils. This is a little more than 16% greater than our highest estimate. This is a matter which should receive the serious attention of every voter and parent. We urge you to visit the schools and familiarize yourselves with the actual conditions.

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the School Committee :
I herewith submit my eighth annual report as Su- perintendent of the Plymouth schools, together with extracts from reports of the principals and special supervisors.
The past two years have been exceedingly critical for the school children. The problem has been to greatly reduce school costs, even in spite of increased enrollments at the Junior and Senior High Schools, and at the same time not to lessen the educational opportunities for the youth.
REDUCTIONS IN BUDGETS 1932 AND 1933
The taxpayer has seen the school budget drop from $253,497.11 in 1931 to $212,963.53 for 1933, a de- crease of $40,533.58. Based on the 1933 valuation, this means a decrease of $1.76 per thousand in the tax rate which is far more than the decrease of the state as a whole.
This economy has been made possible by the follow- ing reductions :
1. General Expenses :
Supt.'s Salary, $752.00
Other Expenses, 517.98
2. Teachers' Salaries, 27,118.13
3. Text Books, Supplies, Miscellaneous, 4,442.83

4. Tuition and Transportation, 1,823.14
5. Janitors, 1,270.95
6. Fuel and Light,
3,169.23
7. Maintenance, 253.43
8. Medical Inspection, 1,185.89
Total,
$40,533.58
REDUCTION IN PER PUPIL COSTS
The budget reductions do not explain the actual reduction in costs from the point of view of the num- ber of pupils. During the two year period 1931-1933 the average membership increased approximately 100 pupils. The reductions in average cost based on the calendar year ending December thirty-first, for the school year ending June thirtieth, and the aver- age state cost for the latter date are summarized as follows :

The above figures for the state show a 10.3% de- crease through June 1933, while Plymouth showed 16.7% through June and 18.6% through December 1933. The above figures indicate that school costs in nearly all items are lower than in the state and in teachers salaries very much lower.
