Report of Superintendent of Schools


To the School Committee of Rockland:


The fourth annual report of my work as Superintendent of Schools is submitted herewith:


In an attempt to lessen school expenditures and to con- form school needs to the appropriation granted by the town, the teaching force has been somewhat reduced and certain lines of endeavor discontinued. In the Junior-Senior High School the number of teachers employed is three less than formerly. This was accomplished by increasing the num- ber of pupils per class and the responsibilities of the teach- ers. The activities of the Special Class at the Lincoln School were discontinued in June 1932. At that time also the services of the High School janitress were ended. Be- ginning April 4, 1932, salaries of all school employees were reduced ten per cent. Also there were no automatic in- creases in salary as in former years. A greatly reduced budget made these changes necessary. All school em- ployees have cooperated effectively and with a spirit of helpfulness, every one apparently wishing to lessen the town's expenses. No financial allowance has been made for classes in cooking the past year. The school cafeteria is now operated on a self-supporting basis, having been no expense to the School Department since last April. Be- cause our boys and girls should be well trained, prepared to meet town, state and national problems, it has seemed un- wise to curtail the school curricula either in the grades or high school.


Continuing our economy program, the following bulle- tin was presented to those parents and other citizens in attendance at the school exercises of National Education Week in last November, that authentic information con-


167


TOWN OF ROCKLAND


cerning the Rockland Schools might be made public. Dur- ing this week a George Washington Bicentennial Celebration was presented by pupils of all the schools.


Rockland School Bulletin (Number 1)


Issued by the School Department To Give Authentic Information About the Rockland Schools America's Biggest Business


The largest and most important business in which the American people are engaged is the business of educating the children and youth of America.


Who Goes to School


Approximately one-fourth of the American people are now in school-thirty-one million pupils are in the schools. To carry on this enterprise 1,037,605 teachers are required, and to finance the school business $3,234,638,567 are needed each year.


What It Costs


Ten cents per day paid by every person of voting age in the United States would pay the entire bill for public education.


The average annual cost for educating an elementary pupil (current expense) in U. S. in 1931-$67.82 .*


The average annual cost for educating an elementary pupil (current expense) in Rockland for 1931-$58.13. Saving to Rockland-$9.69 per pupil.


The average annual cost for educating a high school pupil in U. S. in 1931-$144.03 .*


The average cost for educating a high school pupil in Rockland in 1931 (including Junior-Senior High)-$89.26. Saving to Rockland-$54.77 per pupil.


168


FIFTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT


Costs per school day per child in public elementary school in U. S. on the basis of 172 days- 39 cents .*


Costs per school day per child in public elementary school in Rockland on the basis of 172 school days-33 cents. Saving to Rockland -. 06 cents per pupil per day.


Costs per school day per pupil in public high school on basis of 178 school days-80.9 cents .*


Costs per school day per pupil in public high school in Rockland on basis of 178 school days-50 cents. Sav- ing to Rockland-30.9 cents per pupil per day.


* Figures procured from United States Department of the Interior, Office of Education.


The chances for a boy or girl to go to high school, which were only 1 in 25 in 1890 are now 1 in 2. The chances for a boy or girl to go to college, which were only one in 33 in 1900 are now 1 in 6. 23out of every 1,000 adult Americans are college graduates-125 out of every 1,000 are high school graduates. Of every 1,000 pupils in fifth grade 610 enter high school, 260 graduate, 160 enter college and 50 graduate.


What They Study


In 1775-Reading, Spelling, Writing, Arithmetic and the Bible.


In 1850-Reading, Spelling, Writing, Arithmetic, Lan- guage and Grammar, Geography, Bookkeeping, Conduct, History and Object Lessons.


In 1925-Reading, Spelling, Writing, Arithmetic, Gram- mar, Geography, History, Civics, Drawing, Music, Physical Training, Physiology, Hygiene, Literature, Languages, Com- position, Algebra, Commercial Arithmetic, General Mathe- matics, Vocations, Social Studies, General Science, Mechan- ical Drawing, Printing, Woodwork, Clothing and Foods.


169


TOWN OF ROCKLAND


What They Learn


This is difficult to answer objectively. We know, how- ever, that our nation is constantly increasing its demand for citizens with learning. For example, when you call for any of the following experts you call for the minimum number of years of required training indicated.


Plumbers


12 years


Nurses


15 years


Doctors


18 years


Lawyers


18 years


Pharmacists


16 years


Electricians


12 years


Dentists


16 years


Public School Teachers


15 years


The above can not serve you without a permit. They can not get a permit until they have spent one-fifth to one- third of their normal life span in learning.


How We Spend Our Money


Discussions of the cost of education always raise the question of how America spends its income. It is interest- ing to note that:


The average annual expenditure for operating a small pleasure car is approximately $700.00.


The average annual expenditure for educating a child in one of Rockland's elementary schools is considerably less than a tenth of the cost of running a car.


Waste and Economies


In any school system there must be a continual cam- paign for the elimination of waste. Prices and consump- tion of school supplies, fuel and material must be studied, the demands of teaching and other forms of service must


170


FIFTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT


be checked and compared with actual needs. Salaries and salary schedules must be given careful consideration and tested by the law of supply and demand. Use and wear of buildings, furnishings and supplies must be given care- ful scrutiny with a view to the prevention of waste and un- necessary wear. Depreciation and obsolescence of the school plant must be checked and prevented as far as poss- ible.


"Careless or wilful waste can never be justified or ex- cused. The elimination of waste is a fundamental requisite. Real economy, economy which does not impair efficiency of instruction, or interfere with the educational purpose of the schools is always necessary."


Inferior service is always expensive service, even at bargain rates. It is just as true of schools as of any other commodity or any other form of service, that the cheapest article is likely to prove the dearest in the end. An inferior school is never economical because it is cheap, for through inadequate equipment and inefficient teaching and bad man- agement it can cause irreparable loss to the children and the community.


The problem which confronts the school is this: How can the schools provide for an ever increasing number of pupils and at the same time give them the better quality of training which the American people want, and do these things at a reduced cost ? Enrollment as of October 1, 1931-1495. Enrollment as of October 1, 1932-1533.


Americans want more education of a better quality at a lower cost. This problem, as difficult as it is important, has not yet been solved.


November 9, 1932


R. STEWART ESTEN, Superintendent of Schools


For three months a voluntary offering amounting to $588.70, from the teachers and school employees, constituted a fund to provide clothing for needy children in the schools. This was known as "The School Employees' Welfare Fund"


171


TOWN OF ROCKLAND


and supplied the following articles and aid: 129 pairs rub- bers, 115 pairs shoes, 4 pairs overshoes, 24 pairs stockings, 8 sweaters, 12 pairs gloves, 5 dresses, 1 hat, 10 pairs pants, 12 blouses, 16 sets underwear, medicine for three pupils, 12 pairs shoes repaired, regular cafeteria lunches for 5 pupils, repairs for 7 on eyeglasses, x-ray examinations for three children and dental repair work for 15 children.


Because of insufficient funds, plans for improved library equipment in the high school were not effected. Several books on accounting were donated by Mrs. George E. Crawford from her personal library. We gratefully acknowledge our indebtedness.


A new basic reading system which was to have been instituted cannot be installed until economic conditions are better.


Continual stress is being placed upon spoken English and Mental Arithmetic. An earnest effort is being made to improve penmanship also. Specialists from the Palmer Penmanship Company are giving demonstrations and in- struction to teachers and pupils.


It is of interest to notice that School Savings as a project of our schools has been very successful. 1589 ac- counts were opened in the Rockland Savings Bank in 1925. That number has been increased constantly and now in 1932 we have 2188 accounts, amounting to over twenty thousand dollars. This amount speaks for itself regarding the value of thrift education.


School Buildings


Central Street


A section of the heater grate has been replaced. The flag staff has been repaired and a new flag rope installed.


172


FIFTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT


A section of pipe leading to the bubbler has been replaced. It will be necessary to repair the foundation of the out house in order to provide adequate space for the coal. Gleason


Minor repairs have been made in the plumbing. Lum- ber was supplied in order that the janitor might make some book shelves for the building. Several rotted window sashes must soon be renewed.


Jefferson


There is considerable need for improved drainage of the building. During the wet seasons of the year the sewage from the cesspools backs up into the basement, making it impossible to have sessions of school for a day or so. The problem has been investigated by the com- mittee and two plans have been presented which are now under consideration. It will involve an expenditure of from $250 to $1000, depending upon the plan followed. There are also some leaks in the roof. The tar paper roof flashing should be replaced by metal flashing. A price quoted for this work is $450.


We had considerabie trouble with the cesspools filling up rapidly which required constant removal of the sewage. Mr. Thomas Fox who originally installed the system gave the matter his attention and with some assistance of town laborers, made repairs so that the system is functioning properly at present. Several rotted window sashes have been replaced by new ones and others will need replacement soon. The roof ventilators are very much in need of paint and repair to make the roof water tight. These faulty ventilators are the cause for several leaks in the ceilings of the class rooms. The ceilings in one or two rooms will soon need repair.


Market Street


A new copper lining has been placed in the boys' urinal and minor repairs made on the furnace and water bubblers.


173


TOWN OF ROCKLAND


Mckinley


Last year a local contractor estimated the cost of re- pairing the roof of the building in order to make it good for several years. It was more than the committee thought wise to spend at the time so the whole contract was not executed. Some repairs were made on the graveled roof, sky lights and drains so that water does not enter the audi- torium as formerly. Further gutter replacement and re- pairs are essential as well as two coats of paint on the out- side woodwork. The two heaters (boilers) are constantly in need of repair. Several leaky tubes have been replaced causing a heavy expense. It may be found more economic- al to install at some future time, a modern heating system to replace these two old boilers. Repairs have been made on the locks and the outside doors when necessary. This year the building has been used as formerly by town organ- izations.


Webster Street


Much needed repairs on the floors of the building were made in order to prevent accidents and one side of the main roof was reshingled. The chimney was repointed.


Junior-Senior High


Many minor repairs on the building, such as painting, floor refinishing, plumbing and repairs on equipment have been made by the janitors when possible. The weather stripping installed several years ago by the American Weather Strip Company has been repaired by them. Water still enters the building during driving storms so that there is need to have several walls and some wood work redecora- ted. The mastic floors in the corridors will need attention before the year is over. The sky lights and ventilators on the top of the building should have at least two coats of paint to preserve the metal work. The Building Commit- tee has had two coats of paint on the outside wood work


174


FIFTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT


which was very much needed to preserve the wood. Minor repairs have been made on the clock and bell system as well as on electrical machines in the shop. Strips of linoleum have been placed on the kitchen floor in the basement.


Teachers


Miss Blanche Crowell who was formerly teacher of the Special Class and acting principal of the Lincoln School was transferred to the fourth and fifth grades at the Jeffer- son School.


Miss Eileen Fitzgibbons who had taught at the Jeffer- son School the past few years was chosen as Acting Prin- cipal of the Lincoln School and teacher of the fifth grade.


Miss Shirley Hare resigned as teacher of the fifth grade in the Lincoln School, to become married.


Miss Margaret Shortall, of Rockland, a graduate of the Bridgewater Normal School, was appointed to have charge of the extra first grade established in the Mckinley School when it was decided by the School Committee in September to accomodate all children becoming five years of age by the opening of schools in September. This was in accord- ance with a wish of the town as voted in a previous town meeting. Over crowded conditions in the first grades of our schools made this additional teacher necessary to care for the younger group of children.


Miss Margaret Hayes, who has taught in Rockland the past six years, was married during the Christmas holidays to Mr. William Minihan, a former teacher in our high school. Since March 19, 1930, a woman who is married automatical- ly forfeits her position as a regular teacher. Miss Hayes resigned on December 23, 1932. In order that the boys and girls who had been taught by Miss Hayes since last September in the sixth grade at the Mckinley School might have no interruption in their studies she will continue for
