SCHOOL COMMITTEE


To the Voters of Acton :


The School Committee presents herewith its annual report, to- gether with the report of the Superintendent of Schools, which has the approval of the Committee, and is recommended for your study and attention.


It is with regret that at this time we must announce the resig- nation of Mr. John F. Hough as Superintendent of Schools and Principal of the High School, to take effect July 15, 1935. Those of us who know, from close association, can say that he has given the town a faithful, efficient administration, and a successor his equal will be difficult to find. The Committee surely wish him success in his new endeavor.


Regrets also come from the board in the loss of Mrs. Frank Price, by resignation. Her services were extremely valuable and her associations most pleasant.


Mrs. Charles Clark, for many years a member of the board, consented to fill the unexpired term, and it is our wish that she will continue to serve. Her knowledge of school affairs will surely be a great asset to the committee.


During the past year a course in. Manual Training under the direction of Mr. George Braman has shown remarkable progress, with the very small amount of equipment available. About seventy per cent of our high school boys end their course of education in Acton. A real practical training along manual lines will reflect good no end in many cases. It is our hope to help them if we can and give them the bare necessities of a good workshop. There are eighty boys enrolled now and the interest is astounding. The course includes mechanical drawing, wood- working, electrical wiring, soldering, simple repairs, etc., and its merits will undoubtedly be reflected into their homes. We all feel that a little money spent in that direction will return divi- dends.


Not trusting our own judgment, your superintendent and com- mittee have used all the available measuring facilities, such as state achievement tests, unbiased professional deductions, etc.,


125


and there is every reason to believe that our schools rank high in standard of work and are getting better results than many of our critics realize.


Lest we forget, times are changing. Today the facts taught in school are taught primarily for use in after life, to train young people to think, to appreciate things worth while, to mold their minds and their bodies into such shape as to meet the require- ments of sound adult life-in fact, the three R's have taken on a denominator RRR


CAW Concentration, Appreciation, Wholesome- ness.


After carefully and conservatively calculating, we are placing our financial needs for 1935 at $43,500. Deducting out-of-town tuition and state returns in the approximate amount of $7,000, the actual amount to be raised by taxation will be $36,500.


Respectfully submitted,


R. N. Woodworth, Chairman.
