Resignations of teachers who could not be given mer- ited salary increases has often resulted in the employ- ment of those with much less experience and at a very low salary.


Larger classes per teacher have resulted from our at- tempts to economize. This cannot be allowed to continue much longer, as many teachers are now handling too many pupils to get good results.


Fewer text-books and less supplies have made teaching and learning more difficult. This should only be tempo- rary, as we long ago reached the minimum amounts that should be spent on these items.


Needs


In the near future some very pressing needs face our school system.


Serious overcrowding in the lower grades demands action. Our children are being denied the best educa- tional foundation by delay in furnishing an additional teacher.


In the high school it has often been necessary to assign too large numbers of pupils to some classes or to burden the teacher with too many classes and subjects to get the best results. Because of this, our boys and girls have frequently found themselves lacking information for entrance into occupations or for advanced schooling. An additional teacher is urgently needed to relieve the situa- tion.


For years the various school committees of Medfield have seen the need for some form of vocational studies in our schools. With more vocationally minded pupils remaining a longer time in the high school this need is becoming pronounced. Under the present arrangement of classes every room is occupied every period and there is no opportunity to give this type of education. More


76


room is required, both for the regular classes and to pro- vide for vocational instruction.


In the spirit of economy the School Committee is only asking for the same appropriation as last year-$29,500 -but it wishes definitely to state that this amount will give the barest possible education and will leave un- touched many branches of work that the modern world demands.


Respectfully submitted,


FRANK H. CLOUGH, HAROLD F. STEVENS, A. HOWARD WILLIAMSON.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS


To the School Committee of Medfield:


I hereby offer my report and those of the High School Principal, Supervisor of Drawing, and School Physician and Nurse for the year 1935.


The year has fulfilled the promise of steady growth in harmony and efficiency of the school spirit and school work which was mentioned a year ago. Teachers and pupils have worked well together and definite results have been apparent. There has been but one interruption in our teaching force. Miss Chisholm, of the Commercial Department, left us in June for a more desirable position in the new school building in her home town of Dighton. In her place Isabelle F. Griffin of Lynn, a graduate of Salem State Teachers' College, was secured and she is doing excellent work.


The size of our classes in both schools is presenting problems which demand consideration. In June we grad- uated 14 from the High School ; in September we admitted 33 from the sixth grade; the new first grade numbered 50. This alone would indicate a high school increased by 19 and the Ralph Wheelock increased by 17. We now have 38 candidates for entrance to high school and 27 for graduation-a further increase of 11. Doubtless some will leave, for various reasons ; but a distinct growth is indicated and at present we dare not count on less than these numbers. One hundred seventy-five next year are quite possible, where four years ago our aver- age membership was 147-an increase of nearly 20%. During one-third of the school day the High School lacks one room to care for the classes in recitation or study and temporary arrangements have to be made.


86


In the Ralph Wheelock school the classes average 42; two are almost 50-the number which demands an assist- ant. From 30 to 35 is generally regarded as the largest number one can teach effectively, while we have only one room as small as 36. Partitions should be so placed in this building as to give us an extra room and another permanent teacher be added. This, if the pupils could be divided evenly among them, would give each 35.


As has repeatedly been said, our High school is crip- pled most in the kinds of opportunities we can offer, especially to the pupils who are less book-minded and more inclined to learn through doing. We lack provision for manual or industrial training, household arts, draw- ing, as well as an assembly room or gymnasium. Else- where in this report the School Committee is recommend- ing the construction of a relatively inexpensive building at the rear of our High school to be devoted mainly to manual and industrial arts for boys and girls. Sketches have been prepared for a building which would at once relieve our present lack of recitation room and furnish means for some of these needed courses. Such a building was recently built by Wellesley behind its High school building. It is not easy to think of anything which would so greatly increase the value of the school to the boys and girls of this community. While any additional cost at this time may seem a burden at this time it should be remembered that we are paying a relatively small amount for our children. In 1934 (the last year for which all figures are available) we paid per pupil from local taxa- tion for school support only 5/6 as much as all towns and cities of the State averaged ($64.57 as compared with $77.90). What better investment is there than our own children ?


To the Medfield Framingham Club our schools feel deep gratitude for their generous provision of a first- class motion-picture projector for use in both schools.


87


The gift means much in both cost and usefulness. Many films are available at slight rental cost which are of in- estimable value in school work. They are attractive and hold close, interested attention; things so seen make clearer, deeper, more lasting impressions than things read. Their use in our schools has already shown their superiority very clearly.


88


REPORT OF THE HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL


To the Superintendent of Schools:


I submit herewith my report as principal of the Med- field High School for the year 1935.


E


In June a class of fourteen was graduated with appro- priate exercises, the program for which is appended to this report. Of these graduates, one is attending Boston University, one Harvard, one Radcliffe, one the Bentley School of Accounting and Finance, one a dramatic school, one a hairdressing school, one is married, and most of the others have found some profitable employment.


At the graduation exercises, the Hannah Adams Club Scholarship was awarded to Miss Mary Hibbert. This was the first award of a scholarship which will be given by the club each year to some deserving member of the graduating class who has made arrangements for enter- ing college in the fall. The main part of the program of the evening consisted of a fantasy written by the class under the direction of Miss Davis, the English teacher, and ably coached by her. The presentation was intended to show the value of modern education and how the work in our local school had developed the latent talents of the pupils and inspired them with ambitions and enthusiasm for the future.


There are twenty-seven members in this year's Senior Class, and one hundred and sixty-five members in the entire school at present. The total number of different pupils registered since September has been one hundred and sixty-nine; the largest at any one time was one hundred and sixty-seven. Next year's enrollment should be larger than this.


89


Athletics for the boys have been carried on under the voluntary coaching of Mr. Russell and Mr. Hardy. Teams in both baseball and football completed fairly successful seasons. It is becoming increasingly difficult to finance an athletic program, particularly one which includes foot- ball, unless we can depend on some definite help from the townspeople through the regular school appropriation. To get the equipment which is needed to make football a reasonably safe sport is an expensive proposition. Pres- ent conditions have lessened considerably the amount of money which the school can raise by entertainments, student dues, eto. If it were possible to include in the school budget each year $100 for athletics, it would make possible not only much better school teams, but also many more pupils participating in our athletic program, particularly among the girls and in interclass athletics. At present these are neglected because our finances have to be used entirely for our interscholastic athletic pro- gram if this is to be maintained. I sometimes doubt the advisability of trying to maintain a program, especially of interscholastic football, in schools as small as ours.


We still have the problem of suitable school courses for those who are not interested in or adapted to strictly academic work. The broadening of our course in social studies has helped the problem but nothing short of some kind of mechanical courses will solve it. This is indicated by the success in a subject like mechanical drawing of certain pupils who can not do satisfactory work in algebra, Latin, French, etc.


We are deeply indebted to the Medfield Framingham Teachers' College Club for their gift of a moving picture projector to the schools of the town. Those teachers who have used the projector with regular classroom teaching films, are very enthusiastic over the results. Tests given to the pupils after using such films for teaching have proved conclusively the value derived from this visual


90


instruction. As pupils and teachers get more accustomed to the use of the teaching films, the value of such instruc- tion will increase still more.


In closing, I wish to thank you and the school commit- tee for your kind assistance during the year.


Respectfully submitted,


ALTON H. HARTFORD.

REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING


To the Superintendent of Schools:


I am pleased to submit my usual report as Supervisor of Art in Medfield.


It is barely over one hundred years since "drawing" was first taught in our public schools. During this time methods and objectives have been constantly changing, until now "Art for Art's sake" is passé.


Our three main objectives have been expressed before. 1. To make the child happy. 2. To arouse an aesthetic appreciation for things which will enrich his later life. 3. To correlate with the other subjects of the curriculum.


Art can enrich any subject in the curriculum, and must be so correlated in order to more fully correlate the cur- riculum with life. With the help and suggestions of our superintendent, we have made a serious effort to work together in this way during the past year, and so improve our schools as a whole. We have tried to make our courses touch upon life activities in every possible way, with purposeful problems and well defined objectives. With co-operation of the teachers, creative expression has expanded as the children have found chances to use it in their other work.


Our general exhibition of all the school work in June, supplanting the oft-repeated drawing exhibition, showed that our efforts were more than justified.


The High School classes were returned to the High School building. Movable chairs and tables are now used in the chemical laboratory. While the situation is far from ideal, it is an improvement in many ways and we


92


are grateful. The advanced class in art is doing much better work. A course in Art History, culminating in a visit to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, seems worth repeating. The Mechanical classes had a very good year. The seventh and eighth grade still present a great prob- lem, due to conditions beyond our control. Since Septem- ber we have made the work compulsory and given an extra period each week to see if the work will improve and certain things do seem much better.


We appreciate the adequate supplies and interest of the School Committee and the uplifting influence of our superintendent. May we all have wisdom and vision to work with even more unity and make each course even more vital during the coming year.


Sincerely submitted, EVELYN H. JUDD.

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL PHYSICIAN


To the Superintendent of Schools:


The absence of diphtheria in our community is very striking but this very absence may be productive of a false sense of safety, particularly as there is rather less publicity being given this subject today than a few years ago. Our children are given the opportunity to receive the immunizing treatment at a clinic held each May. Last year a one-dose immunizing treatment of a diphtheria toxoid was used; previously the three-dose treatment of toxin-anti-toxin had been given. If our Schick tests this year show good results, it is probable that the one-dose immunizations will be continued. This product is not fur- nished by the State Department and its use was made possible by the Medfield, Dover, and Norfolk Visiting Nurse Association. With this opportunity the children entering the first grade should all be immunized and the percentage of immune children in our schools made higher.


In September, 1925, there were cases of anterior polio- myelitis (infantile paralysis) among the children. Stricter observation of the schools was carried out during the epidemic.


The yearly physical examination of all the pupils is completed.


Defects noted were as follows:

REPORT OF SCHOOL NURSE


To the Superintendent of Schools:


I am pleased to submit my report as school nurse in the Medfield schools.


Since I have taken this position the health of the school children in Medfield has been exceptionally good, al- though we are constantly alert for symptoms of infantile paralysis.


The routine physical examinations have been done by Dr. Park, the school physician. Defects were noted and (as I am a newcomer) I took this opportunity to meet parents by notifying them personally.


Under the supervision of the Norfolk County Hospital a new program was sponsored in the place of the Chad- wick Clinic of former years. The examination of the tubercular contacts had been done by the State Depart- ment of Health. This year a more thorough survey was made, including the seventh, ninth, and eleventh grades. By including this age group, each pupil will have the op- portunity to be examined three times while in school. The Von-Piquet test is given to all children of this group whose parents consent and if the pupil shows a positive reaction he is given an X-Ray and a physical examination.


The following is the result of the examination: 65% of the seventh, ninth, and eleventh grades had the test. Twelve children had positive reactions. Twelve children X-Rayed; 7 found negative; 5 given further physical examinations ; 5 children re-examined.


Pre-School Clinic. The pre-school clinic was held in May. Children entering school in September were ex-


96


amined by the school physician. Twenty-eight were im- munized against diphtheria. Early correction of physical defects reduces the risk the child has of infections.


I want to thank parents and teachers and the School Committee for their splendid co-operation during the few months that I have been school nurse.


Respectfully submitted, INEZ S. KERR, R.N.
