Report of Superintendent of Schools
To the School Committee and Citizens of Leyden:
I take pleasure in presenting herewith my sixth annual re- port on the public schools. This report covers the work of the 175th year of public education in the Town of Leyden.
During the past year people have shown a greater conscious- ness of educational problems than at any time in our history. This is a healthy sign and emphasizes the fact that our citizens realize that there is nothing more important to our American way of life than our educational institutions. It was scientific achievement developed through a sound educational program that made it possible for us to emerge victorious in the world's worst holocaust. All schools large and small throughout the land had a hand in this victory.
ENROLMENT
The following enrolment trends are worthy of note. In 1941 there were 49 pupils registered, 33 of whom attended locally and sixteen were in attendance at the various secondary schools in Greenfield.
The December 1, 1946 registration totaled sixty-eight pupils of whom only nine attended in Greenfield. This leaves fifty- nine pupils attending locally which fills our three buildings. It was necessary to transport the children of one family who would normally attend Beavermeadow School to the South School as the former school was already filled.
TEACHER CHANGES
Mrs. Muriel Miller, teacher at the South School for the past
34
three years, resigned at the close of schools in June to return to her home duties. Mrs. Miller came to us at a time when teach- ers were very scarce and did an outstanding job. I speak for the community and myself when I say that her efforts on our behalf have been keenly appreciated.
Miss Lois Bean, a graduate of the Framingham State Teachers' College 1946, with a B. S. in Education was appointed to the South School vacancy.
Mrs. Lyndal Denison, teacher at the Center School for the past three years, resigned in June to accept a similar position in the Colrain schools. Mrs. Denison was very conscientious in her work and we wish her success in her new position.
Miss Pearl Rhodes, formerly teacher in the Beavermeadow School and more recently a high school teacher in Bernardston and New Salem, was appointed to the Center School position. Miss Rhodes prefers working with elementary pupils and we are fortunate to have her in our system.
AN ULTIMATUM
During the spring the Massachusetts Department of Public Safety inspected our three school buildings. The report follow- ing the inspection required the following renovations to be made in our buildings before they could be granted certificates for public use.
Install flush toilets in all schools.
Supply running water in all schools.
Construct artificial ventilation systems at South and Center.
Supply new sills and make other structural repairs at Center. Construct emergency exit doors on all buildings.
Reconstruct wall or chimney to supply larger space between wall and chimney at South.
Install electric lighting at South and Center.
Build separate furnace rooms at South and Center.
Supply heated coat rooms in all schools.
35
In order that we might be permitted to use the buildings after October 16 the town had to produce evidence that some- thing was being done to alleviate these conditions.
The appointment of a survey committee by the town has been accepted as evidence that the town intends to remedy the situation either by the construction of a new school or the cor- rection of the flaws in our present buildings.
There seems to be but three plans possible to solve our prob- lem of inadequate school housing. Close all three schools and send Leyden pupils to Greenfield, expend a large sum of money to modernize our present buildings or build a consolidated school.
It is doubtful if the first plan is either feasible or sensible since most parents object to sending small children a long dis- tance from home. The second plan is possible but would add little to the improvement of our educational program since each teacher would still have too great a grade load. Also it is ques- tionable at this time just how long we can continue to find teach- ers for one room schools. Many have had to be closed this past year because of the dearth of candidates. The third plan seems to be the most logical since we would not only be improving our school housing but at the same time a grand step forward would be possible in the modernization of our whole educational pro- gram.

Comparing the 1946 medians with our own 1945 medians it will be observed that a considerable gain has been made. For- example Grade II in 1945 was two months behind the standard median whereas now as Grade III the same group of pupils is four months above the standard showing an extra gain of six months in addition to the normal progress expected in a school year. Examination of the scores of the seven grades tested in June that were with us the year before show that all grades made more than a year's progress. Only three of our grades are below the standard median, one by two months, one by three, and one by six. Two of these grades are very small so that the reliabil- ity of the measure, as a grade, is open to question.
STATE AID
The amount of financial reimbursement to a town on account of education from state funds is stipulated by law. The average amount for the State is 10% of the total spent on education. Leyden's reimbursement for 1946 was 45% of the total spent. Usually the town is reimbursed for eight items but due to the fact that there are no state wards attending the local schools no amount could be claimed for 1946. The amounts allocated to us on the other seven are determined by the amount of money spent by the town for high school tuition, high school transportation, local transportation, teachers' salaries and Superintendent's sal- ary and travel.
Recent increases in high school transportation costs are carried wholly by the town since we have long since passed the 80c per pupil per day maximum allowance permitted by the state as reimbursement. The cost per high school pupil for transpor- tation for the school year 1945-46 was $1.33. Local taxes have to carry 53c per pupil per day of this amount.

FINANCIAL
It was necessary to ask for a transfer of $107.77 from the contingency fund to meet obligations of the department in De- cember. Extensions of transportation routes because of increas- ed enrollment made this necessary.
39
The amount needed to run the schools at the present level of efficiency for 1947 is $12,900.00. Teacher salary increases, increased transportation rates plus longer routes, and much higher tuition rates in Greenfield are accountable for the greater part of the budget increase.

IN CONCLUSION
Dynamic changes are taking place in our mode of life. Ed- ucation must keep pace with these changes. To cover the rudi- mentary requirements of the 3 R's is now only a part and not the whole of an educational program. Teaching children how to live, how to earn a living and how to keep well are just as import- ant branches. Education is the most important single function of government today because on it rests the functioning of all other branches of government.
I appreciate the efforts of my staff in carrying out the duties assigned. To the school committee who have been most helpful in interpreting the local needs and who have been most coopera- tive I express my appreciation.
Respectfully submitted, ROBERT N. TAYLOR,
Superintendent of Schools

Report of the School Physician
The regular annual physical examination of the school chil- dren was conducted in September at each of the three schools, the children being found in very good physical condition. A few weeks later so many new children had come to school, a second examination was made at the South and Center schools in order to have everyone examined. Early in December all children in the South School were again examined because of an outbreak of a skin disease. It was found to be a contagious condition and all children with the disease were sent home to stay until the condi- tion cleared up. The school room was also ordered cleaned. It should again be stressed that parents are to keep home any child suspected of having any contagious disease.
Teeth again this year proved to be the chief source of defects at the regular examination. It was, however, gratifying to note the large amount of new dental work done. A summary of the defects found follows:
Defective teeth
15
Flat feet
7
Poor posture
4
Enlarged glands 3
Poor vision 3
Respectfully submitted,
F. WILTON DEAN, M. D.

Report of the School Nurse
The audiometer hearing test was given to all school children in April. The Massachusetts Vision Test was given in the fall and all defects were reported to parents. I assisted Dr. Dean with the health examinations and certificates were sent to parents where defects were found. The only marked defect shown in the health examination was a very apparent need of dental at- tention.
I have visited some homes where necessary. All first aid kits were checked and refilled. I have talked with teachers and given advice when needed.
I also attended and assisted Dr. Nadas at the well-child conference in July, when every child was given a thorough exam- ination. The mothers were advised by the doctor and State nutritionist on problems of health and nutrition.
Respectfully submitted,
