The customary census table is contained in this report. The numbers enrolled in the local schools has held firm, as com- pared with last year and is, in fact, three greater. When it could be determined in June what, exactly, the grade enrol- ment would be in the fall when schools reopened, it became apparent that other arrangements would have to be made for the new fifth grade as there were forty-four fifth-grade pupils to be taught. This represented an impossible number under the best of conditions for one teacher to handle and, with no space available at the Center School, beyond consideration. The committee investigated suggested possibilities where classes might be held but met with little encouragement. As there seemed no alternative, a classroom was prepared at the basement of the Benjamin Ellis School where thirty pupils might be located. The room was properly equipped with fur- niture, heat, light and chalkboards and a group of pupils, mostly fifth and a few fourth grade, were accommodated at that place. All considered, it was the best solution to a diffi- cult problem which could be made. It had been hoped this problem might be postponed until the new school was ready
-76-
and thus avoid the additional expense for making the room livable for daily use. Not being able to avoid this, it was done as economically as possible. The furniture will be transferred to the new building when the time comes to move into it.
Once again we are fortunate to have no changes in staff to record. All of the teachers previously serving the town elected to return and continue the work in the schools and all members are looking forward to finding their places in the new school when it is opened for use. When it was known that a class- room would be opened in the basement of the Benjamin Ellis School, teachers were sought to take the position. Among those available, Constance B. Holmes ( Mrs. Norman V.) was recommended by the superintendent and elected by the com- mittee to the position. The arrangement has been a satisfac- tory solution to the somewhat difficult problem of trying to handle the number of pupils with less than adequate classroom space in the existing buildings. The coming of the new school makes it unnecessary to contemplate the use of the temporary quarters beyond the end of the current school year.
Relationships continue satisfactory with the Plymouth School authorities for the continued instruction of our secon- dary pupils in that town. A slight decrease in the cost of senior high school tuition is anticipated but this will be offset by a corresponding increase in the junior high rate. With a steady increase in the number of secondary pupils to be trained, there is no likelihood of a decrease in the needs for tuition money. The increases which we have had in the ele- mentary grades over the past few years are now beginning to reach the secondary school age. The combined influence of both more pupils and greater unit cost will keep the require- ments for high school tuition at a high figure.
Study was given to transportation routes this past year so that the pupils might be better served. The high school routes had to be altered so that the load was more equitably distri- buted over two busses and a change was made in one elemen- tary route to avoid the need for having pupils stand while
-77-
1
being transported. In looking forward to the future, the routes will have to be laid out anew, as the transportation to one central school, at one time, or nearly so, will require more and larger busses. These changes will require additional funds for purposes of transportation next year but funds expended for this purpose are fully reimbursable, after the Town has de- ducted its $5.00 per each child in net average membership.
As three of the five contracts for transportation routes do not expire until 1951, no action was necessary this year on these; two others did expire. These were advertised for bid as re- quired by the statute. Theo Thomas was the only bidder on the route he formerly held and same was awarded to him. The route formerly covered by Mr. Griffith received two bids and this work was awarded to Aime Desroches, as low bidder. These contracts were let on a one-year basis only, so that all might be revised at the time the new school was occupied.
Much of my time and effort has, of necessity, had to be dir- ected to matters pertaining to the new school building, either as to planning for services and facilities or to the general scope of the program which may be carried on in the building after it is available. The members of the school staff have been most helpful in trying to carry out their responsibilities in such a manner as to be least demanding on the time of the superin- tendent. When we can come to more routine proceedings, time should be spent on curriculum, methods and materials for the school program.
I appreciate the interest and care which the committee takes in deciding the many problems which come before it in the matter of general policies to be observed in the conduct of the schools. As we look forward to the coming of the new build- ing, we are in a position to plan an excellent school program for the elementary children of the town.

REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF THE CENTER SCHOOL
To the Superintendent of Schools:
While a new class room was added at the Benjamin Ellis School to relieve the crowded conditions in the other schools of the town, the enrollment as of October 1 was only four less than that of the previous school year. The combined Grades IV and V have their home room with Mrs. Moore. To relieve her teaching load of thirty-nine pupils, the grades are separ- ated in Arithmetic, Geography, and Reading. The added groups are taught by Mrs. Marion and Mrs. Hattie Griffith. There have been few other changes in our school work as carried on in the school year of 1949-50. In addition to her work in Domestic Science, Mrs. Hattie Griffith now teaches Arithmetic and Geography in Grade VII, Health in Grades V and VI. Latin was previously offered during the latter half of the year. Now we begin the study in November. The added time brings us more in line with the work being offered in Plymouth.
The Metropolitan Achievement Tests were administered to Grades V and VI during May. Grade V scored three points below the norm of the grade, Grade VI scored seven points above the average. Intelligence tests were given to all mem- bers of Grade VIII, this being the third such test given to the group since its entrance in the Carver school system. All test records were entered on each pupils permanent record envel- ope which is forwarded to Plymouth when the pupil enrolls there in Grade IX.
The sales in the magazine drive totaled $591.50 from which a profit of $149.10 was realized. This was added to the school fund which now has a balance of $146.26. Money from this fund pays a large part of the Boston trip for Grade VIII, and this year was used in part for the tour Grades IV and V made of historic Plymouth.

REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF ART AND MANUAL TRAINING
Mr. George R. Austin Superintendent of Schools, Union No. 42 Middleboro, Massachusetts
Dear Mr. Austin:
In compliance with your request, I herewith submit the annual report of Art and Manual Training for the year 1950.
A new comprehensive Study Guide was prepared by me for each teacher of grades one through eight.
Art work has progressed in the same general channels as formerly, through creative activities and correlation units.
CONSTRUCTION has been the major theme in Primary Grades, usually in connection with color and design. Projects including panels, murals, figure drawing and illustrations of seasonal activities were completed. Units on different countries were developed and correlated with the regular school program, and portfolios were constructed to contain the finished work, which is taken home periodically.
Lessons in folding, measuring and cutting lead to structural experiences in upper grades. Problems are necessarily simple and related to children's interests. It is hoped that free cut- ting and inventive uses of paper and other materials will add creative quality to the directed work.
COLOR: In grades seven and eight, Monochromatic Har- mony was emphasized by the Color Wheel, and reproduced in designs from Nature, illustrating formal and informal balance.
-81-
REPRESENTATION and pictorial drawing portraying events in history, scenes in geography, and characters in litera- ture, and also stressing contrast, variety, center of interest, balance, proportion and perspective were all studied in detail.
CREATIVE ART: Wall Paper and textile designs, finger- painting and construction, afforded opportunity for release of ideas, information, and the emotions through creative pro- cesses, stimulating the imagination and arousing an earnest desire for accomplishment.
Many of the members of the seventh grade derived much pleasure in the fashioning of very graceful and colorful "Ming Trees".
Patterns and projects from Stanley Tool Co. were purchased for use in grades seven and eight in Manual Training. The boys have enjoyed making these new models, and although smaller than some made in previous years, the coping saw was brought into use more than usual and the making of different "joints" was a frequent problem.
Respectfully submitted,
STELLA F. N. MORRISON,
Supervisor of Art and Manual Training

SCHOOL NURSE
Middleboro, Mass., December 31, 1950.
To the Superintendent of Schools:
Herewith I submit my sixth annual report for the Town of Carver, year ending December 31, 1950.
In reviewing my first year as full time Nurse in the Union, it is interesting to note the increased number of visits both to schools and homes that have been made possible by these extra days, namely 157 school, 286 classroom and 103 home visits.
Multiple ear testing was carried out in all grades above the second by means of the Pure Test Audiometer, twenty pupils being done at one time, with three failures noted. These were later given individual tests and referred to their family physi- cian.
Mass. Vision tests were again conducted in all grades. Of the twelve failures noted, corrections have been made possible in 7 cases with the use of glasses.
All pupils were weighed and measured twice during the year, three overweights and two underweights having been noted. Home visits have been made regarding these pupils and the parents were found to be most co-operative.
The annual physical examination of the 282 enrolled pupils was under the direction of Dr. Vernon Mayo, School Physician. There were only five notices sent to parents which tells us in what excellent physical condition our young people are today.
We cannot seem to avoid an outbreak of contagion some- time during the school year, so once more I must report the
-83-
visitation of measles, mumps and whooping cough. Because a pupil may not return to school after an illness with a com- municable disease unless he brings a certificate from the local Board of Health or physician, I urge the co-operation of every parent in carrying out this ruling.
In October, Mrs. Bernadine Tassinari, dental hygienist from the Massachusetts State Department of Health conducted a survey in all schools. This has proven to be most effective in stimulating interest among the children, to visit their own den- tist and have the recommended fillings and extractions cared for. At this time it is not possible to give an accurate account of the number of pupils treated since only in a few instances has the work been completed. However, I feel it is a long needed service in our schools and I am sure my next report will show a decided decrease in the number of defects found.
To arouse special interest in the Community X-Ray Survey held last June the film, "Good Bye Mr. Germ" was shown at the Centre School. Consequently 60 pupils from Grades 7 and 8 had chest X-Rays the results of which were later re- ported to be negative.
On occasion I have transported pupils to their homes, doc- tors' offices, and crippled childrens' clinic, Brockton. I have also attended conferences at the State Hospital in Taunton, Norton and Framingham in the interest of Public Health.
I am once more grateful to Mr. Austin, the School Commit- tee, Teachers, Parents and friends for their continued interest and co-operation.
Respectfully submitted,
MADELINE A. BAKER, R.N. Public Health Nurse.

SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENCY UNION NO. 42
Report of the Secretary
The annual meeting of the School Superintendency Union No. 42 was held at the Assawompset School in Lakeville on the evening of April 24, 1950.
The officers elected for the year were John Carter, Chair- man and Doris E. Dunklee, Secretary.
Due to the interest of the members in the new addition to the Assawompset School, the committee held its semi-annual meeting there on the evening of November 30, 1950. The superintendent and the Lakeville School Committee took us on an inspection tour of the school. We could readily see that this building was built to stand the test of time and supply the school children with the modern facilities so necessary for education today.
Due to the increasing amount of business being carried on at the union office the committee thought it advisable that a full time clerk be employed. After considerable thought Miss Washburn has decided to work full time for the union.
During the year Mr. Austin made an extensive survey of the salaries, transportation reimbursements and duties of the school nurses in the school systems of the southeastern part of Massachusetts. This data has proved very helpful to the com- mittee in setting our school nurse's salary and schedule and we feel certain it will be just as valuable to other towns in this area.
We of the committee extend our thanks to Mr. Austin for his invaluable help to the three committees in their building programs. His help has reached far above and beyond what could be called his duty.
Respectfully submitted,
DORIS E. DUNKLEE, Secretary
