REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
One change in the membership of this body has occurred since the last report. After several years of faithful and efficient service Mr. Ruel S. Gibbs has resigned because of his removal to another town. Following the course re- quired by law the Selectmen and the remaining members of the School Committee designated Mr. Ellis D. Atwood to fill the vacancy.
The outstanding item in school affairs during the past year has been the erection of a fine and well equipped school house at South Carver. The School Department is great- ful to the Town for providing so excellent a housing for one of our schools and indulges the hope that, in due time, other school houses as good as this one may be erected in other parts of the Town.
Teachers and superintendent have continued to serve without change. For this congratulations are in order. The element of reasonable permanence in organization makes for unbroken purpose and steady movement and en- courages the spirit of cooperation which is realized to a good degree in our school system.
The number of our high school pupils still increases. Fifty-nine Carver boys and girls are now in the Memorial High School in Middleboro, 37 per cent more than a year ago. It is significant that our pupils are staying in school for a longer period and seeking fuller education.
The financial report shows a total expenditure of $33,633.58 during the year 1932. The reimbursements from the State amount to $9,499.30 so that the cost to the Town was $24,134.28.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT
To the School Committee of Carver:
My tenth annual report as Superintendent of Schools is herewith presented.
SCHOOL COSTS
Since we are passing thru what is an unusual period of depression, we have made every effort to see that care is exercised in the use of books and supplies, lights, fuel, etc. In this way we have made a substantial saving in the costs of our schools altho with an increased enrollment. The total cost per pupil from local taxation in our average member- ship for the year ending June, 1932 was $91.56 or 53 cents per day.
Thruout the state there has been a persistent drive to cut the costs of schools. The largest item in this budget being that for salaries, the cry has been to cut the teacher's salary. As pointed out in my report of last year, our salary schedule is below that of towns of like standing in our group. Our per pupil cost per day for instruction is 31 cents per day. Our average salary is $1177. or $3.22 per day. Some will say that many citizens are not receiving that amount. True; but have they spent from four to eight years in preparation for their jobs before earning anything? Have they been subject to the demands made upon our teachers to support every worthy object, and the same requirements as to dress and continued preparation for their work, the standards of which are increasing constantly?
Another argument has been that teachers should take a cut along with others. Teachers have taken their losses. General wages rose some five years before the teachers re- ceived any adequate raise, and with less pay they were faced with high costs of living for these years.
78
We must in considering the salary question consider the fact that our children in increasing numbers are being pre- pared to enter High School. Middleboro even after the drastic cut just made is paying their teachers for doing the same job an average salary of more than $1200.
THE TEACHING STAFF .
We have had no change in our teachers for several years, and as a result the spirit of the force is very high. Every teacher attended the course in Middleboro offered by the State Department of Eeucation, and nearly every one is continuing this professional improvement by attending a course given at Plymouth for the next ten weeks. Few towns situated as we are can show an equal record. It surely deserves to be recognized by all interested in seeing that our children get adequate preparation for their future life.
THE BENJAMIN ELLIS SCHOOL
The town is to be most heartily commended for its gener- osity in furnishing such a building as that at South Carver. The morals of the pupils is greatly improved by their health- ful surroundings, and the work has shown great gain.
THE TESTING PROGRAM
This fall we have given the Nelson Reading Tests in- stead of using the Columbian Test service. The following table shows our standing in the subject.

These tests show the work to be of average success in the schools as a whole. The seventh grade is well above average, but the fifth below. This is attributable probably to the fact that we have there several pupils who are three or more years retarded and this brings the class median below the norm. The great value of these tests is in the opportunity they give the teacher of reclassifying her pupils, offering to each remedial work in that type of reading where- in he is weak. We have I feel, made a gain this year over the past in this most important subject. Much of our trouble lies in the fact that so many of our children have little or no chance to read outside of school, having few books or magazines at home, and in many cases hearing little English conversation which will develop their reading vo- cabulary. This coming term we are introducing a series of work books in dictionary practice which we feel sure will raise our standard materially.
CLUB WORK
The Junior Red Cross and the 4-H Club work have been carried on this year with excellent results. The reports of the secretaries are included to give an idea of what has been accomplished along these lines.
JUNIOR RED CROSS ACTIVITIES
A Junior Red Cross has been organized in each of the five rooms of the Center School. Its purpose is to do some good wherever possible. The dues, which are about one
80
cent a week have been used to buy flowers for those who are ill. At Christmas we filled Red Cross boxes for the poor children in hospitals and Mrs. Lillian Atwood took food to the local Red Cross to be distributed. The seventh and eighth grades are making a scrap book of Carver's Industry to exchange with the Junior Red Cross of foreign organiza- tions. A formal business meeting is held each week follow- ed by some sort of entertainment or games.
Respectfully submitted,
MARGARET SHURTLEFF, Sec.
4-H CLUB REPORT
The girls of the seventh and eighth grades have this year formed a clothing club under the leadership of Mrs. McFarlin and have taken the name "The 4-H Handiworkers Club." Margaret Shurtleff is the president and Marie Bolduc the secretary. Meetings are held on Mondays from 11.25 to 12.15. A program is followed which develops "the head to clearer thinking, the heart to greater loyalty, the hands to larger service and the health to better living." The eighth grade members are working on the third year clothing pro- gram which includes the making of a school outfit.
Several of the seventh grade are taking the second year program which includes the making of two articles of wear, while the rest are on the home service program. Between work and service it is hoped that club members will gain the knowledge of the care and cost of clothing.
SPECIAL SCHOOL REPORT
The purpose of the Special School is to fit boys and girls to use their hands for the everyday needs in life.
This year we have had an enrolment of twenty-two pupils. Our morning session is devoted to regular academic
-

81
work. The alloted time for handwork is two hours a day, so the afternoon session is spent in that way.
A beginner is taught the first steps in woodwork, such as, squaring up stock, the names and care of different tools, sandpapering, and finishing of a project. The more ad- vanced boys are put on different projects and care is given , to each step of their work.
Steps in a Project
1-Laying out pattern.
2-Sawing out.
3-Sandpapering.
(a) With coarse.
(b) With fine.
4-Shellac.
5-Paint (one or two coats)
If an article is to be stained the fourth step is omitted. Many things are made such as end tables, taborets, hanging book sheves, necktie racks, bird houses and various kinds of door stops. Last year we framed eleven George Washington's pictures for the schools in town. At present the boys are making benches for the South Carver school.
The girls are taught sewing, weaving, embroidery and crocheting. They start with small things such as holders and work up to more difficult ones. Swedish embroidery proved very successful as well as braided rugs, embroidery on pillow tops, samplers and towels. This year we made several cellophane belts which were very popular.
The Spring Term is spent in bookbinding. We make several notebooks of different styles also handy telephone pads.
We wish to express our sincere thanks to all who attended our exhibition and sale. We are very pleased to report that we received $19.25 which will help us to buy more material for another year.
Respectfully submitted, CHARLENA WALTON
