Report of the School Committee
To the Citizens of Fairhaven :
Herewith is submitted the annual report of the School Com- mittee for the year ending December 31, 1942.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ยท
Your attention is called to the accompanying Financial Statements giving the expenditures for 1941, the expenditures for 1942, and the budget recommended for 1943. The total budget is 4.4% higher than the expenditures for 1942 and the increase is due almost entirely to increased salary estimates.
We feel that our action in regard to salaries is warranted under present conditions and will serve to correct the maladjust- ment which has existed between salaries and living costs.
REPAIRS
In 1940 the School Committee began what was intended to be a $21,000.00 three-year program for repair and improvement of school buildings. The following figures indicate what has been appropriated and expended thus far.

During 1942 expenditures from the Special Repair Appro- priation were made in the schools as follows:
Rogers School
$ 12.80
E. Fairhaven School
119.48
Tripp School
44.65
Oxford School
845.80
138
High School
1,265.54
Total
$2,288.27
The more important items of repair were the following:
High School
New shades in five rooms. Refinishing ceilings in five basement rooms.
Refinishing ceilings in East and West offices. Repairs to limestone balustrades.
Pointing other limestone construction.
Upholstering of cushions in library and office. Replacing library chairs.
Resurfacing and repair of front porch.
East Fairhaven School
Repairs to heating system. New shades in two rooms.
Oxford School
New floors in four classrooms.
New shades in one room.
The School Committee does not recommend an appropria- tion for Special Repairs in 1943. Because of the present situation it seems best to restrict the program to the balance of $654.88 which is still available.
SCHOOL AGE
In September 1942 children were admitted to the first grade at the age of five years and three months. While this is a more satisfactory age than had been permitted, it is still too young as a general rule. It is also younger than is generally set in other towns throughout the State.
The Committee has consequently adopted the recommenda- tion of the Superintendent to admit children to the first grade in September if five years and six months old on or before Septem- ber 1.
139
IN CLOSING
The School Committee appreciates the continued coopera- tion of all connected with the School Department and is grateful for the continued confidence and support of the citizens of the Town.

I submit herewith my fourth annual report as Superinten- dent of Schools.

Further details regarding enrollment may be found in the tables included with this report. The decrease in the High School is much greater than in the elementary school and due largely to the increase in general employment.
"SCHOOL CARDS"
The Superintendent's Office has the responsibility for issu- ing Home Permits and Employment Permits, required by law for all minors aged 16 to 21 who go to work in industry and for all minors aged 14 to 16 who are permitted to leave school for work at home or elsewhere. These permits commonly called "School Cards" have been issued during the year as follows:

Permits were issued to 548 boys and 528 girls. The total of 1076 includes 822 issued to different minors and 254 to minors who had already been issued a card in 1942.
TEACHER CHANGES
This has been another year of many changes. Twenty-five percent of the teachers left. The list includes five high school
143
teachers, eleven elementary teachers, one elementary principal, and one supervisor. Two, Mr. Johnson and Miss Borden, retired. Two others, Mr. Parkinson and Mr. Belyea, were given Military Leave of Absence and are serving as ensigns in the Navy. Five left for teaching positions in Belleville, N. J., Lexington, Brock- ton, Newton, and Watertown. Nine left on account of marriage.
Of the new teachers nine are beginners, and four have had experience elsewhere. Four positions are filled by substitutes and one position was discontinued because of reduced enrollment.
