SCHOOL COMMITTEE
-
To the Voters of Acton:
The School Committee herewith submits its report for the year. We believe that the high standards of education desired by the citizens of Acton have been maintained during 1940.
The committee organized last April with one new mem- ber, Miss Fannie E. Davis, replacing Mrs. Louisa N. Wood, who had faithfully served as a member of the board for twelve years.
The special committee, appointed by the Moderator at the annual town meeting, to work in conjunction with this board in formulating plans for an addition to the high school, have met with the board on numerous occasions. This joint com- mittee, feeling that they should have the advice of a competent architect, employed Mr. Charles Way of Sudbury. After much study and investigation, three different plans were discussed and finally abandoned, but a fourth plan was unanimously approved by the joint committee. The details of the project will be found in a separate report.
In accordance with the vote taken at the annual town meeting, telephones have been installed in each of the three elementary schools.
Our schools opened in September with two new teachers and one transfer. In Acton Center, Miss Charlotte Laird re- signed to accept a position in Waltham, Miss Helen Appleby was transferred from South Acton to fill her position, and Miss Carolyn Tuttle was appointed to fill the vacancy at the South School. Mr. Robert Dolan resigned from the teaching staff of the High School to accept a position in Marlboro, and Mr. Robert Harris was appointed to fill the vacancy.
The committee wishes at this time to commend three teachers who unselfishly gave their time to attend and com- plete the First Aid course given by the American Red Cross
-202-
at the West Fire House. Their interest should be appreciated by the parents of students, as both within and without school buildings, children are subject to various accidents, many of which might require immediate first aid before the arrival of a physician. In the future, the committee would like to see not only other teachers, but janitors as well, take this First Aid course.
It has been the custom of the board to paint one elementary school one coat each year, or, in other words, one coat on each building every three years. This plan has been found to be unsatisfactory. Hence, we started in 1939 with a two-coat job on the school in West Acton, and in 1940 with a two-coat job on the Center School. We hope to give the school in South Acton two coats in 1941. Evidence at this time bears out the wisdom of this policy.
Other repairs that have been completed are as follows: West School: New blackboards, gravelling driveway, minor repairs, and some interior painting.
South School: Repair of fire escape, new section of fence, regrading part of lawn, several new window sashes, minor repairs, and some interior painting.
High School: Two new rear doors, repair of fire escape. In addition, a new brick incinerator was constructed. The latter was a necessity, as all of the papers and other waste material had to be burned in the open, thus causing an open fire which was a menace not only to surrounding buildings but also to the woods.
We have taken advantage of the National Youth Admin- istration project, whereby a certain number of pupils (boys and girls) of the High School are paid by the government for hours of labor performed at the school. We have had the boys doing the following: washing windows, shovelling snow, mowing lawns, and other janitor work; the girls, cleaning up in the lunch room, girls' basements, and other rooms, and per- forming clerical work.
The parking space at the rear of the High School presents
-203-
a rather serious problem. In 1935, through a WPA project, half of the space was graded and re-surfaced, the other half being left unfinished. This part is composed of some ledge and hard-pan clay, which becomes slippery and sticky in the spring and after a prolonged rain. We believe the only solution to this problem is under-drainage with unglazed tile leading into the existing drain having an outlet on Charter Road. As this will entail a large expenditure of money, it is hoped that in the future we may get a special appropriation for this project. Furthermore, we believe that there should be closer co-operation between the different departments of the town, as certain work such as gravelling driveways, drainage, etc., can be done much cheaper and better by the highway depart- ment.
Since 1930, when the so-called "Depression" started, it has been a problem for students graduating from the High School to decide on a career or vocation for their future life. This has been due to the scarcity of openings in the business world. Before last graduation, we instituted a Bureau of Occupational Guidance, composed of local business and professional men, also various artisans, who have volunteered their services to instruct and advise any graduate who applies for their help in deciding his future life.
In closing, a word should be said about the Manual Arts Department. This is a very important department and should receive more attention. At present, we lack not only space, but equipment. If the addition as outlined in the report of the Special Committee should be carried out, ample space has been allowed to enlarge the Manual Arts Department.
The committee requests the same appropriation as for the preceding year, namely, $47,000, and expresses its desire to make use of any savings effected in a single department to improve the general school administration.
Respectfully submitted,
SAMUEL E. KNOWLTON, Chairman.

REPORT OF SPECIAL BUILDING COMMITTEE
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
The special committee, Mr. Robert Hall, Mr. Pendergast, and Mr. Starbuck, submit the following report as requested by the moderator at the Acton Town Meeting, Monday, March 11, 1940:
At the first joint meeting with the school committee, May 23, 1940, the special building committee was confronted with the following problem: the need of improved showers and locker facilities, and of small additional space for manual arts, typing, sewing, and drawing. The following plans were dis- cussed:
A. An additional room over present boiler room for boys' use, and additional room out beyond present girls' base- ment for girls' use, the present boys' locker room to be used for manual arts department.
B. Construction of third story above present high school to provide large science laboratory and additional smaller room for class use covered by slanting roof over all present roof. Construction of room over boiler room for shower room for boys. The transfer of manual arts room to present science laboratory, typewriting to present manual arts room, and girls' locker and shower room to present type- writing room. After a thorough investigation of removing present roof, constructing three class rooms, store rooms, corridors, toilets, stairways, etc., the estimated cost was between $28,000 and $30,000.
C. Separate building to house manual arts, showers, and lockers for girls and boys. There was much discussion on this plan, especially in view of the urgent general demand for mechanical training; but it was finally decided to drop this idea, because the original purpose of the special com- mittee was to plan with the school committee for an addi- tion to the high school and not for a separate building.
-205-
D. A two-story addition on the east end of the high school and a two-story addition over present boiler room on the west end. The east end addition provides shower and locker room for girls on the first floor and a typewriting room on second floor, thus restoring the sewing classes to their original room. A new nurse's room, with outside light and ventilation, is also provided. The west end addi- tion provides shower and locker room for boys on the first floor and a drawing room on the second floor, and removal of partitions to enlarge the manual arts room. Sound in- sulation of manual arts and typewriting rooms, necessary equipment, lockers, typewriters, typewriting stands, chairs, and benches for locker rooms are included. The total cost, as shown by two contractors and various equipment com- panies as of date, will be $19,500.
After careful consideration by the school committee with the Special Committee, Plan D seems to meet all requirements as to needed space and architectural appearance at the lowest cost. The Special Committee, therefore, recommends that the sum of $19,500. be appropriated to make the much needed additions and alterations to the Acton High School.
Respectfully submitted,
ROBERT C. HALL EDWARD L. PENDERGAST ROBERT B. STARBUCK
