REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
The policy of this department as to school property, re- ferred to in previous reports, has been continued during the past year. Minor repairs have been made at all the
-115-
school houses. At North Carver more especial attention has been needed. Badly leaking roofs on the school house and the out buildings have been reshingled, the poorly lighted third and fourth grade room has been improved by additional windows and a much needed cloak room has been built at the entrance to the second grade room. As forecasted in the report a year ago, the Center school has been equipped with a radio outfit which has proven very useful. A portable motion picture ma- chine, which can be used in any of the schools, has been added to the general school equipment. Telephones have been installed in the Center, North and South school houses.
The building originally used as Town Hall, and more recently owned and occupied by the local American Leg- ion Post, has become again the property of the Town, and has been repaired and fitted for school purposes. The special school, in which, during half of each day, the pupils receive instruction in various forms of hand work, is being conducted in this building.
The addition of a fourth school to our system makes an increase in the budget of the department inevitable. The appropriation asked for is $33,200.00. The reim- bursement of the Town from the State of Massachusetts, on account of schools for the past year, amounts to $7,801.90 ; and the Town receives $813 for the tuition of pupils who come from other towns to our schools. This income of $8,614.90 reduces the actual cost of the schools to the sum of $24,585.10.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the School Committee and Citizens of Carver :
I herewith submit my seventh annual report as Super- intendent of Schools.
CHANGES IN THE TEACHING FORCE
Miss Margaret Hansberry resigned to enter business in Osterville. Mrs. Eunice Bailey was elected and as- signed to the first grade at South Carver. She did excel- lent work during the Fall term, but resigned in Decem- ber, and Miss Margery Griffith has been assigned to that position.
The opening of the Special School necessitated the em- ployment of a new teacher, and Mrs. Blanche Howell of Middleboro was elected to that position. This school has certainly justified itself in the changed attitude of the pupils attending. Given work within their comprehen- sion and ability, they are making a response which is very gratifying, and Mrs. Howell is meeting a difficult situation with tact and skill, giving unstintedly of time and energy.
The teaching staff is to be commended most heartily for the earnestness and professional spirit shown. Those at- tending the extension courses at Plymouth in Mental Hy- giene and in Boston have reported much pleasure as well as profit, and their attendance manifests the attitude of the true teacher.
SCHOOL COSTS
To show the relative standing of the town in its group, I append figures from the annual report of the Commis- sioner of Education.
-119-
In Group IV,-Towns of less than 5,000 population and not maintaining High Schools, (125 towns being includ- ed) Carver receives the following listing :
From all Sources Rank
Amount expended per pupil for the year 1928-9 $119.01 60
State average per pupil for the
year 1928-9 98.15
From Local Taxation
Amount expended per pupil for the year 1928-9 $89.85 35
State average per pupil for the
year 1928-9 87.81
This rank of 60 places the town slightly below the average of the group in expenditures per pupil from all sources - local tax and State Aid - though expending somewhat more than the State average. We enjoy a much better rank in the amount expended per pupil from local taxation, spending approximately the State average. This high rank for the year ending in June, 1929, will fall another year, as our reimbursement from the State has materially increased in the distribution this year. The net cost per pupil for High School education for the past year has been $72.68, the average for the State being $97.39.
MARKS AND MARKING
In co-operation with other towns, we have adopted the report card suggested by the Superintendents' Associa- tion after conference with the Department of Education. This card records the teacher's judgment of the child's effort and progress every ten months. In case of serious falling behind during the marking period, a supple- mentary slip is sent to the parent indicating the needed special work.
