REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
I. Cost of Maintaining the Schools.
The net cost of operating the Schools of the Town for the year 1923, after crediting the various rebates from the State, interest from the Town School Fund, and sundry small receipts from miscellaneous sources, was $19,087.69, which compares with a net cost of $18,901.82 in the previous year.
II. Improvement in the Teaching Organization.
The year 1923 has witnessed fewer changes than usual in our teaching organization. Through a policy adopted by the Com- mittee two years ago, of establishing salaries on a basis of teach- ing experience, teachers who have entered the service of the Town at the minimum salary limit, and have proved their worth to the satisfaction of the Superintendent of Schools and the School Committee, have been encouraged to continue in the service of the Town through being advanced $100 yearly in salary to a maximum $200 above the minimum at which they entered.
Experienced teachers, with salaries paid them in line with those paid by surrounding towns, are an essential part of any plan looking to improvement in the schools. Especially is this vital in a town like our own, where facilities are inadequate to the needs of the schools, and where, in the elementary grades, the number of children in each room is beyond the limit which any inexperienced teacher could efficiently handle.
142
The policy has resulted in an improvement in the teaching staff, and if consistently followed-and perhaps extended-will unquestionably bring about further improvement in the schools.
III. The School Lunch.
The School Lunch, which has now been in operation for more than a year under the direction of a committee from the local Parent-Teacher Association, is being well patronized and ap- pears to be more popular even than it was last year.
IV. The Fire Drill.
A matter which has seldom been brought to the attention of the Town is the efficiency of the fire drill at the school. This drill is given frequently enough to train the children to know what to do in case of an emergency. A special drill was given during the year with engineers of the Fire Department present. The total attendance on that day was 279 pupils. Using all doors, the building was completely emptied in 40 seconds; using the rear doors only, the building was emptied in 70 seconds. There was no disorder nor confusion of any kind, and the ob- servers expressed themselves as being greatly satisfied with the results.
V. New School Calendar Adopted.
With a view to securing a better distribution of vacation periods over the school year, and to conform to a practice being quite generally followed throughout the State, the Committee has adopted a new School Calendar, which for the year 1924 is as follows:
Winter Term, 8 weeks, opens Jan. 2, closes Feb. 21, 1924
Spring Term, 8 weeks, opens Mar. 3, closes Apr. 25, 1924
Summer Term, 8 weeks, opens May 5, closes June 27, 1924
Fall Term, 16 weeks, opens Sept. 2, closes Dec. 19, 1924
The Committee requests that an appropriation of $24,200.00, the same amount as was granted for the year just past, be voted for the year 1924.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the School Committee of Medfield:
School Organization
A single grade for each teacher is the ideal school organiza- tion. Pupils of approximately the same age and attainments, working with a common purpose at the same studies, form an efficient unit in the educational process. Two or more grades in the same room are a source of more or less distraction to each other and to the teacher. If, however, the total number of pupils in a room is small, the plan of a single grade to a teacher may be too expensive and impracticable. In such cases it is quite possible to combine certain classes as a single grade in some studies often with good results. Pupils of a higher grade when reciting with a lower class are desirous of appearing at their best; those of a lower grade are stimulated by the example of those above them.
The fact that must not be forgotten is that any system of grading is for the benefit of the individual pupils and not for the sake of maintaining a system. ' For this reason students of unusual ability should not be refused a chance to enter a higher grade during the school year. There may be but one or two such pupils in a class, yet the opportunity for accelerated promotion should be open to any who may be able to take advantage of it.
Junior High Schools
The Junior High School has passed the experimental stage. In a majority of the larger towns and cities of the State it is accepted as an established part of the regular school system. The concensus of opinion among educators is that students of the seventh and eighth grade have arrived at an age when they need a wider field of study and responsibility. The Junior High School has been organized to meet this need.
-
149
Towns which feel unable to meet the expense of a definite Junior High School department may, in a certain degree, enter into the spirit of the work. Teachers in the seventh and eighth grades during a part of the year at least can give some instruc- tion in one or more Junior High School subjects. They also can lead pupils to think more carefully of their future studies and activities beyond the grammar grades. This in effect is carrying out the idea of the Junior High School organization.
Special Subjects
Drawing, Music and Manual Training are unquestionably placed under the list of "Special Subjects." To secure proper results in these subjects requires natural aptitude and special training. Writing or penmanship and gymnastic teaching may well be added to the above list. Towns and cities which are able to afford special teachers for Writing and Physical Training furnish a most valuable addition to their educational equipment. The selection of a grade teacher qualified by experience and success may in some cases solve the problem of a special in- structor in these subjects.
Training for Citizenship
School organization, material outfit and qualified teachers have for their objective the training of boys and girls for better citizens. All the various devices and methods that may be em- ployed should result not only in more knowledge, but also in a higher sense of civic duty and greater self-control.
Direct lessons in citizenship should be given in every grade. Even the youngest pupils can be made to understand that good homes and good schools help to make a good town. Older pupils should study in more detail the facts of town, state and national government together with the duties of citizens. The ability and desire to use knowledge and power not only for self- advancement, but in the service of others, is the true test of an education.

Words by Katherine Ehnes and Helen Brennan Music by Clara Dray Four years in Medfield High we've spent, We've strived to do our best. '23,-we're true when outward sent, Our motto keep for test. Mindful of ideals we must keep With us may memory cling, As joy and pride in our hearts sink deep We'll face what the future may bring.
154 .
Our days in Medfield High are o'er, Come joy or sorrow our way;
Bravely may we meet as of yore What waits in unseen days. Our class colors brightly gleam Purely in white and gold. In life forever and even in dreams
Heed the lessons that we must uphold.
Medfield High, we bid you farewell,
Now that our work is o'er.
Bravely we'll meet what the future may bring And to your memory cling. Now that we're climbing life's pathway steep Your ideals we will keep. Oh, Alma Mater, to you we'll be true, Ever mindful what to you is due.
