ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the School Committee of Dighton
Ladies and Gentlemen :
An epoch marking year has passed into history. No one living today can competently judge of its effect upon the years to come. That story will be for posterity alone to tell. A year ago gloom was on the face of the economic world and consequently upon the face of the educational world. Today, we at least have that satisfaction of knowing that an attempt is being made to break through that cloud of gloom and dark- ness, toward a new day. We are no longer sitting placidly waiting for the knell to ring upon our social order.
A prominent economist recently made the following state- ment, "The only certain thing about the world in which we live is that it is never going to be the same again." Faced with the truth of the statement I am prone to ask the inevitable questions "what are our schools doing to prepare boys and girls to live, and to earn a living to a changing world?" The schools of Dighton can not afford to fail to seek the answer to this question and in the light of this question to build a program making the system as adequate as possible in the light of the need.
Certain trends in social order seem to be unmistakable. Perhaps all influence education directly or indirectly. The following seem to have a direct influence.
1. The elimination of child labor seems to be an accepted fact. While this applies at present only to industry and business there is reason to believe that it will eventually effect agriculture and domestic service. This means for education the problem of caring for greatly increased numbers of boys and girls between the ages of 14 and 16, and providing a suit- able program for the large percentage not academically minded.
7
ANNUAL REPORT
2. The shortened working week means increased leisure time. Leisure becomes a boon or a curse to mankind accord- ing to its use. The ancient adage referring to mischief for idle hands is particularly applicable. Somewhere in the educational program training leading toward "worthy use of leisure" must be provided. One can immediately discern in this problem far reaching implications in physical education, music, reading, the arts. etc.
3. The failure of the traditional curriculum to function in preparing youth for the problems of life is evident on every hand. It would seem an inevitable conclusion that much study must be made that we may help boys and girls not only to earn a living-but to live a well-rounded life.
Other problems many far reaching in their effect might be mentioned. Suffice to say that they constitute a whole new field for research and study in order that we may discover just how the educational program may best adapt itself to life needs.
I.
PLANS FOR A DIGHTON JUNIOR-SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
As this report goes to press Dighton is faced with the possibility of establishing its own High School. It appears probable that a grant of 30% of the cost of such a building and its equipment can be se cured from the Public Works Administration. Dighton would therefore be under the bur- den of 70% of the cost of building and equipment. In study- ing this program a request was made by the local officials that a study of the plan be made by representatives of the State Department of Education. This study was made by Mr. Burr F. Jones, Supervisor of Elementary Education and Mr. Jerome Burtt, Supervisor of Secondary Education. Its findings pointed conclusively to the feasibility of the plan. The report was presented by Mr. Jones at a joint meeting of the Finance Committee, and the Board of Selectmen, and later at a public meeting called for the purpose.
8
ANNUAL REPORT
At a special town meeting held on February 2, 1934 the following votes were passed without a dissenting vote.
Voted :- That there be raised and appropriated the sum of $75,000.00 for the purpose of constructing a Junior-Senior High School. All money received from the Federal Govern- ment under the National Industrial Recovery Act on account of such project shall be applied to meet the appropriation herein made, and to meet the balance of said appropriation the treasurer, with the approval of the selectmen, shall be authorized to borrow said sum and to issue bonds or notes of the town therefor, said bonds or notes to be payable in accord- ance with the National Industrial Recovery Act and, in so far as not inconsistent with said Act, in accordance with Chapter 366 of the Acts of 1933 and Chapter 44 of the General Laws. The whole loan shall be paid in not more than 4 years or at such period as may be determined by the Emergency Finance Board referred to in said Chapter 366 of the Acts of 1933.
Voted: To empower the Board of Selectmen and School Committee to proceed with the project.
Following the meeting in accordance with the above votes the Selectmen and School committee met and appointed the following building committee,-Roy F. Walker, chairman, Louis Mendoza, Trenor F. Goodell, Mrs. Sara G. Hamilton, and Lyman Briggs. The following were appointed ex-officio members of the committee,-George B. Glidden and John Bolger, Selectmen, and Norman D. Bailey, Superintendent of Schools.
II TEACHING STAFF
Only one new face appears in the Dighton teaching staff this year although several old faces are missing. Mr. George R. Austin, Bates College '33, East Greenwich, Rhode Island has taken Mr. Craig's place in the Junior High School. Mr. Austin is teaching Latin, Science and History. At the open- ing of the year in September, Mrs. Hope Hamilton was trans-
9
ANNUAL REPORT
ferred from North Dighton Grade 5 to South Dighton Grade 5. Mrs. Ethel Padelford was transferred from South 5 to North 5. Miss Doris Dean was changed to North Dighton Grade 4 and Miss Dobbyn returned to us in Grade 3, North Dighton.
The superintendent feels that he can say with honesty of conviction that the teachers of Dighton are well qualified, sincerely interested in the welfare of the boys and girls, and untiring in their efforts to promote that welfare. They have met the problem of increased teaching loads courageously and have kept the standards of the schools at that high level which all desire.
III COURSE OF STUDY
In the field of Courses of Study our attention this year has been centered upon the work in history and geography. A committee of teachers consisting of Mrs. Eleanor Smith, Miss Emily Gell, Miss Helen Lane, Mr. George Austin- Dighton, Mrs. Lucy Terry and Miss Alice Goodell-Freetown, Mrs. Millicent Hackett and Mr. Glenn Burgman-Berkley, is doing a conscientious piece of work in this field.
IV MUSIC
It seemed necessary from the point of view of economy to dispense with the services of music supervisor for the year 1933-34. Fortunately for the schools, in each building is a teacher qualified to do satisfactory work in music. While under such a program we lack the co-ordination desirable, our results will not be short of desired goals.
In the spring we held a "Music Night" at the Bristol County Agricultural School Auditorium at which each school room was represented. The interest manifested was highly commendable. It is hoped to present a similar program this year.
The Harloway Plan of instrumental music instruction adopted in 1932 is beginning to bear fruits. Mr. Hector
10
ANNUAL REPORT
Brabant, the instructor, deserves high commendation for his patient, careful work.
V INSTRUCTION
This report emphasizes to a greater extent than usual the physical property of the department and its upkeep. We have not, on the other hand, been negligent in any way of the instructional end of our work. The program of standard- ized tests given each fall and spring provides a check upon our work. We are able through these results to study each pupil separately, comparing his achievement with his ability, and thus discovering whether or not we are securing from each pupil the best possible results. The results of our program indicate that we may feel well satisfied in almost every in- stance with the results attained.
VI OPPORTUNITY CLASS
This year the Special Opportunity class taught by Miss Katherine McAloon is housed in the Segreganset building. The work carried on commends itself to even the casual visitor. To one who studies it carefully there comes the conviction that an unusual fine piece of work is being done for these boys and girls who need a different type of instruction.
The morale of the class is superior and we may be confident that these boys and girls are gaining practical training which will build good citizenship.
VII THE CIVIL WORKS ADMINISTRATION
On Nov. 18, 1933 at the order of President Roosevelt there came into being the Civil Works Administration. The prime purpose of its creation was to put men to work. How- ever, if men are to work there must be a place and materials- provided. One logical opening seemed to be the improve- ment of public property including roads, buildings, etc.
Through the cooperation of the local federal adminis- trator, Mr. George B. Glidden, the way was opened for the school department to put its property in excellent condition.
11
ANNUAL REPORT
Nine projects having to do with schools were submitted to the State C.W.A. Board. All of these were approved and are being carried out at present. For public information they are listed below.
At a meeting of the School Committee held Nov. 21 the Chairman, Mr. Roy F. Walker, and the Superintendent were constituted a committee with power to carry out projects under the CWA.
A. Grading of Yard-North Primary School, For years the yard of the North Primary School has been an eye-sore. Realizing that it was necessary to restrict expenditures the committee has not felt warranted in making desirable improvements. A grant of $827.60 under the CWA was made for this purpose. Of this the town is to pay $50.00.
B. Painting two corridors-three classrooms : South School. It has been the policy of the department as rapidly as possible to change the color scheme in the interior of classrooms from blue and white to buff and white. Under the CWA program provision is made for completing this change at the South School. The allowance is $270.24 of which the town's share is $30.08
C. Painting four classrooms, four corridors North Gram- mar and Primary Schools.
The allowance for this work was $555.86 of which the town's share is set at $53.29.
D. Reflooring three rooms and two corridors, North Primary School.
The floors in the older part of the North Primary building were badly worn. New floors have been laid. CWA allotment $447.50. Town's share $99.14.
12
ANNUAL REPORT
E. Excavating portions of basement-South School.
For some time school department furniture and other supplies have been stored in the closed school house at Broad Cove. The above improvement will provide storage room at the South School for part of this Material. CWA allotment $172.75. Town to pay $24.25.
F. Excavating portion of basement-North Grammar School.
Purpose outlined above under E.
CWA allotment $607.00 Town to pay $64.00.
G. Re-roofing North Grammar School.
For some years the roof at the North Grammar . School has given trouble leaking. This repair would have been absolutely necessary in the summer of 1934. CWA allotment $1157.50. Town pays $182.50.
H. Painting 3 class rooms-North Primary School. CWA allotment $330.00. Town to pay $20.00.
I. Cementing floor of basement-North Primary School. The floor of the basement of this building had never been finished. CWA allotment $551.50. Town to pay $53.80.
Only one intimately connected with the working out of the program can realize the tremendous amount of detail involved in the administrative end of it. The thanks of the department are due to Mr. Howard C. Briggs who has acted as Chief Certifying Officer for the town and foreman of South School projects to Mr. Dwight F. Lane the disbursing agent, to Mr. Charles M. Gilbert for many hours of figuring costs and for his work as foreman of the North School projects. These people have given willingly of their time and the town is profiting greatly from their efforts.
13
ANNUAL REPORT
In summarizing the benefits we have derived through the CWA-the total allotment for school improvements was $4,919.95, the town's share of this being $577.06.
VIII COOPERATING AGENCIES
This report would be incomplete if it failed to mention the splendid cooperation which we have received from the Mt. Hope Club. Through the use of the facilities of its club house for clinics we have been able to provide a suitable place for the Mental Clinic and the Chadwick Tuberculosis Clinic. In the fall of 1933 the directors of the club laid before the sup- erintendent a plan for sponsoring the athletic needs of the boys from Dighton enrolled in Senior High School outside of town.
The offer was accepted gladly and this fall a program of football has been carried through. In this work we have been ably assisted by Mr. Henry Levinson, who has given of his time to watch the boys. The thanks of the department are due Mr. Levinson, not only for the work given, but for the type of spirit instilled in the boys. There is a tie-up between athletics and life. We can not doubt that learning to play well a game involving physical effort and team-work has some influence on playing well in the greater game of life.
IX. TRANSPORTATION
Probably no topic or problem of school committee work can cause more difficulty than transportations of pupils. Dighton is more than fulfilling the legal requirements in this regard. Realizing this the committee has adopted a policy of not extending facilities beyond their present limits. Many requests have been received for such extensions throughout each year and the committee has reached the conclusion that in fairness to all and in consideration of fair annual constric- tions it cannot grant any of these requests which are already provided for within the legal limits.
14
ANNUAL REPORT
X. JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL
A year ago, the ninth grade in our Junior High School was in the first experimental stage; we feel certain that we can be satisfied with the results. The pupils who carried in ninth grade work in Dighton last year have done satisfactory work in tenth grade in Taunton High School during the first four months of the present year.
The report of the principal of the school gives more de- tailed information in regard to its operation, the course of study, and its activities. Careful reading of the report is suggested.
XI. HGH LIGHTS OF 1933
1. Eliminations of the last Rural School.
Brick School closed Feb. 17, 1933 Fish School closed June 10, 1933
2. Improvements to School Property under the CWA.
3. Establishment of Physical Education program in cooperation with Mt. Hope Club.
4. Records of Intelligence and advertisement on file for each pupil in form of profile charts.
5. Completion of adoption of Elson Readers in Grades 1-6 inclusive.
6. Unusually few work in Opportunity Class.
XII CONCLUSION
It is the perfunctory thing to bring a report to a conclusion by expressing appreciation or cooperation. That I am glad to do not only from a sense of duty but in appreciation of the fine spirit which has characterized our work this year. I would wish however, that I could impart to every citizen of Dighton a knowledge of how sincerely interested each member of its school committee is in the welfare of its boys and girls and of how gladly these people who serve without salary or other compensation give of time and thought in the further- ance of the program of public education.
Respectfully submitted,
NORMAN D. BAILEY,
Superintendent of Schools.

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
To the School Committee and Superintendent of Schools Ladies and Gentlemen :-
I have the honor of presenting the yearly report of health conditions as applies to the children attending school.
The examinations started with the Pre-School Clinic in June at Mt. Hope Club House and at the South School, and conducted by the school physician, with the aid of Dr. Joseph L. Murphy. Sixty-two children were examined-the greater portion being from the North part of the town. At this time also the Toxin-antitoxin treatment for preventing diphtheria was given. However, only 11 availed themselves of the opportunity at this time. The innoculations were followed through the next two weeks. In October and November the various schools were visited and 283 children received 3 in- noculations at weekly intervals-a survey having previously been made to determine which children might have a tendency to show unusual reaction to the toxin-antitoxin. Such chil- dren were in some cases advised against being innoculated or received the innoculations in minimal and graded doses. All children with active eruptions, or any active skin diseases were advised to postpone innoculations until the skin condi- tions had cleared up.
This past year has shown a marked decrease in the number of pupils being operated upon in the Clinic for Tonsils and Adenoids. Although the fees required for the various clinics are small, yet the economical situation played a part. Great stress is given to the corrections of these defects. It is hoped that another year will find the conditions improved.
There has been a marked reduction in the number of cases of diseases of a contagious nature, and it seems splendid to
19
ANNUAL REPORT
note that during the past year there has not been a case of scarlet fever or measles reported. There was one case of diphtheria- a child who had not had the innoculations. The increased care and observation on the part of the teachers and others concerned, together with the preventive measures at hand, have added much to such a record.
There were cases of contagion of a milder nature, such as: mumps, chicken pox, and whooping cough, which either in themselves nor their attending complications claimed any great percentage of pupils.
The foregoing shows an improved or a discerning number of conditions; however, other conditions to be noted below, are not showing the same improvement. A great percentage of children are yet underweight from 1 to 10% or more under- weight. This latter figure is not a great percentage from the standpoint of the number of children but the percentage of underweight is great in these 43. These conditions are fol- lowed by the school nurse at the homes of the individual children, 5 were recommended to the Chadwick Clinic for X-Rays of chest. 6 children were sent to the summer camp at Bristol County Tuberculosis Hospital. Poor posture has been noted in an exaggerated degree in all its forms. The children are advised regarding this condition and the impor- tance of standing and walking erect-also in many cases the school nurse visits the parents with the idea of getting their cooperation towards an improvement.
The number of conditions affecting the eyes comes to the attention more and in different ways from year to year. This is in a great measure due to the Teachers' Association which has provided funds for glasses, new lenses, repairs, etc. We owe much to Dr. Herbert Pierce for his helpful aid in this work.
Another increase existed this year over previous years as regards impetigo, the increased apply to both the number of cases and the degree of severity. Other skin diseases en- countered, however, showing no increase over previous years, are scabies, ringworm, eczema, dermatitis and impetigo.
20
ANNUAL REPORT
Pediculosis (head lice) was prevalent, as always, but not in all schools.
On December 11 the State Department of Mental Diseases conducted a clinic at the Mt. Hope Club House where 12 children were examined-three of these having previously been given mental tests at the Taunton State Hospital.
On the whole it can be assured that the health conditions have improved from one year to another, evidence principally in the reduction of number of cases of defects and the splendid record as regards diseases of a highly contagious nature, (i. e. scarlet fever diphtheria, and measles principally.) There will always be some contagion, however, the fact that in the past year this has been limited to 1 case shows that there has been cooperation and that everyone has been interested to the extent of being on the alert in every way, and this is the attitude that is responsible for the above record.
Respectfully submitted,

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL NURSE
To the Superintendent of Schools and School Committee:
It is my pleasure to submit the following report; a summary of the health outline, as carried on in the schools for the year of 1933.
Each school has been visited weekly and an inspection made of class-rooms sanitaries, and water supplies. Often as the occasion arises, daily visits are made to the schools to make individual inspection of pupils where contagious diseases and infections are suspected. This particular follow-up work has been of great assistance in checking the spread of disease and contamination.
There were 386 home calls made during the year. These visits bring a close contact between school and home and the parents are very cooperative. Several children have been taken to the School Physician or medical advice.
Dental clinics were held weekly to the close of school with 177 pupils attending.
The work done was, as follows:
Number of fillings 73
Number of extractions 54
Number of cleanings 177
In April the State Department of Health conducted the annual clinic of the ten year program for Hilium or suspicious contact tubercular cases. Five were examined and found in good physical condition.
The May Health Day programs were held in connection with the "Music-Health Night" at the Agricultural School. The Health Tags were distributed at the schools.
Three children were operated upon in the clinic for tonsils and adenoids. Seventeen others had this operation performed
22
ANNUAL REPORT
through their own physicians or other clinics.
In June the Pre-School clinics were held. One clinic was held at the Mt. Hope Club House and the other at the South School. Sixty-two children were examined at both clinics. Toxin-Anti-toxin for the prevention of Diphtheria was used at these clinics for the first time.
Six children were sent to the Bristol County Health Camp. Each child had the privilege of spending a month. Great gains were made in weight and general health. The new camp building was much enjoyed.
The giving of Toxin Ant-toxin to the Pre-School children was the introduction of the clinic that was held in October, open to all school children. The first clinic was held October twenty-fourth and thereafter for three successive weeks. There was a total of 294 children having the serum. This response on behalf of the parents was very gratifying and all those connected with the clinic expressed their appreciation.
December eleventh a Mental Clinic was held at the Mt. Hope Club House. Eleven children were examined. Each child has a thorough physical and mental examination. These tests help to determine the standing of pupils in the special class or those who for some reason have been retarded three years or more.
Through the generosity of the Dighton Teachers Associa- tion seven children have been given glasses, three others have had new lenses and some repair work done. All of these chil- dren were greatly in need of this attention given and appreciat- ed it.
I want to thank the teachers, parents and pupils and all others who cooperated to make this past year a successful one.
Respectfully submitted,
LEILA P. HOARD, R. N.

ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF THE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
To the School Committee and Superintendent of Schools :
Another year has passed and for the second time I have the privilege of submitting an Annual Report.
This year we have twenty-seven pupils in our ninth grade -fifteen boys and twelve girls grouped as follows :-
Normal 6
Technical
6
Commercial 7 Manual Arts 3
Household Arts
5
Last year the ninth grade was a new venture for Dighton, and of course, as in all new things, was in the experimental stage. I believe that we can truthfully say that that stage has successfully been passed. I base my statement on the reports of our pupils who have gone to other high schools and are doing satisfactory work. Our last year's graduating class has representatives in five different high schools and as they all report satisfactory progress I feel that our work did not fail, but was truly successful.
The junior high organization is carried out as in all junior high schools. We have our class, assemblies, library periods and guidance work, in addition to our regular school subjects, as is customary in a school of this kind.
Mr. Wyeth and Miss Stewart are cooperating with us this year in our club work as they so helpfully did last. We have forestry and handicraft clubs for the boys and sewing and homecraft clubs for the girls. These activities prove very
24
ANNUAL REPORT
interesting as well as instructive to the students, and I sin- cerely believe, tend to promote a fine school spirit.
This year our program was arranged so that we could take advantage of the music appreciation hour given by Walter Damrosch through the National Broadcasting Company. We have this broadcast every other Friday and it is proving a very valuable aid to our music.
Our faculty has lost a very fine young man but has gained another to take his place. Mr. Austin, the new member of our teaching force, is doing a fine piece of work with the Drama- tic Club and Boys' Glee Club. Mrs. David is adequately leading a worthwhile Girls' Glee Club, while Mrs. Smith, the other member of our faculty, is having continued success with the girls' athletics, these activities being carried on in addition to their regular teaching work.
A school is only as good as its teachers and I give all credit for whatever success our school may have to our splendid faculty, I must also include our superintendent, Mr, Bailey, who has always been willing to help us in our many problems.
Respectfully submitted,
DORIS B. HUTCHINSON.
