As for our war-time responsibilities day byday pupils, teachers and other school personnel are serving on various committees, con- tributing regularly to stamp and bond drives and otherwise serving the war effort.


The Junior Red Cross, which has a complete membership in every building, is fulfilling its unique function to a very satisfactory degree.

High School Tuition.


Elementary School Tuition.


One impact of the war has been a decrease of enrollment for pupils above sixteen years who have left school to enter industry or the services.


It will be our task to safeguard offerings for those who re- main, that they may make the greatest possible contributions to a post-war society which will need youth with trained minds and vision.


My one recommendation, however concerns itself with elementary schools.


These are in good physical condition with the exception of the Marcy Street School.


It is the earnest hope of the chairman that a gradual program of renovations may be carried out there, to the end that pupils and teachers may work in the same splendid surroundings as are found in the three new buildings.


As Chairman, I wish to extend appreciation to all members of the committee with whom I have been privileged to serve. To all other staff members and school employees I wish to offer my com- mendations for results accomplished.


Respectfully submitted, ARTHUR H. GAUMOND


Chairman, School Committee

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS


To the School Committee of Southbridge:


In accordance with your request I hereby submit my seventh annual report, whichis the fifty-ninth such report issued by Super- intendents of the public schools of Southbridge.


Reports by department heads which are included as a part of this report give all of the essential details of operation and men- tion changes and accomplishments of the past year. I commend these reports to the earnest attention of every one interested in our schools.


We have continued to feel the impact of the war, particularly in regards to attendance and part-time employment of nearly all of our boys and girls above sixteen years of age. It seemed wise to operate the high school on a one session day again this year to meet many requests from industry.


However, to cover additional demands of high school students one evening course is available in International Morse Code, one course has been available through an accelerated course for seniors permitting them to meet diploma requirements by March 1, and one afternoon course is offered in mathematics for under-classmen who did not originally enroll in that department.


In addition to these we have nearly three hundred people taking various university extension courses and a ground course in avia- tion has recently been established to meet the needs of both men and women interested in that field.


As you know the school department has sponsored a four lecture reading course by Professors Durrell and Sullivan, of Boston Uni- veristy, t which all teachers of Southbridge, both public and parochial, have been invited and a fifteen week course "Modern Trends in Education", in which a large group of teachers from both public and parochial schools have enrolled. In addition to these courses a four-evening lecture course has been sponsored by the school com- mittee and has been made available to citizens of Southbridge and surrounding communities.


Under the direction of the elementary supervisor groups of parent-teacher meetings are being held in each of the elementary schools for the purpose of searching out problems and trying to arrive at a solution of them.


Our pre-school tests were conducted this year by the elementary supervisor at no expense to parents. We feel that testing of in- dividual cases will be a very valuable and important part of her work.


We have been commended by the State Department of Education for accomplishments in our Manual Arts Achool at River Street, for


-105-


the continued high standards of performance at the Cole Trade School, and for the wide spread community interest in evening courses for adults whose formal education has been concluded.


It is our desire that our elementary and high schools shall also continue to serve this community to the fullest possible de- gree.


I wishto express my appreciation to School Committee members, taxpayers, teachers and all other school employees whose joint ef- forts have contributed to the well being of all the children in our public schools.


Respectfully submitted, CHANNING H. GREENE


Superintendent of Schools

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF ELEMENTARY EDUCATION


The position of supervisor of elementary education might well be termed "helping teacher" for thatis exactly the function of the position.


There are several phases of the work which may well be discussed in this first report.


1. Workshop courses: The organization of a series of lectures and study on reading was brought about to help in this particular field. We were exceedingly fortunate to have Dr. Durrell, Dean at Boston University Graduate School, and Dr. Helen Blair Sullivan to give us lectures on this subject. We are also well along on a Harvard-Boston University extension course on the general topic "Modern Trends in Education. "


2. Teachers' workroom: Along with the workshop courses a teachers' workroom has been set up serving also as a supervisor's office where resources of all types are available for the teachers' use. In this room we share materials and ideas for group discussions and teachers' meetings.


3. Unified junior high program: A study of weekly time schedules used in other school systems was made as well as a care- ful study of the time allotments in our buildings now in use. In order to unify the program so that each building will give equal opportunity and instruction. The junior high school program has been re-organized with the time schedules for various subjects in each building equalized.


4. Testing program: A testing program has been started that includes group, classroomand individual testing. Achievement tests were administered last year in every room. Prior to the opening of school this September individual tests were given to 33 under-age children to determine their readiness to enter school. Individual tests are constantly given as the need arises.


5. Books: A survey of the books needed in all grades and a study of new books available on the market have been made. We have now the latest Elson-Gray Basic Reading system, with workbooks, through grades 1-6. The McKee Language books have been selected by the committee of teachers and are now in use in grades 2-6. Sets of supplementary reading books are available for all buildings and library children's book exhibits have been placed in school libraries .


6. Materials: The supervosor gives considerable effort in securing and distributing teachers materials, helping in the use of these and generally encouraging professional growth and improvement in service.


7. Cooperation: In none of these departments would accomplish- ment have been possible without the cooperation, encouragement, and approval of the superintendent of schools, the school committee, principals and teachers .


May I personally state my appreciation to everyone who has as- sisted in every way, directly or indirectly, in making this year a happy one for me.

REPORT OF SUMMER PLAYGROUNDS


The Southbridge Summer Playgrounds are supervised by a Director and staff appointed by the School Committee, upon the recommendation of the director and superintendent.


The season extended for a period of six weeks - July 12, 1943 to August 20, 1943; five days a week, for a total of 30 days, and the length of the day was as follows:


9 A. M. to 11:30 A. M. 1 P. M. to 3:30 P. M.


1027 school children of Southbridge enjoyed playground facilities during the season.


Nature Program


This summer we inagurated a full nature study program under the direction of Mr. Richard B. Headstrom, naturalist.


He devoted his time going from playground to playground super- vising the nature work which comprised:


a . hikes and field trips.


b. talks


c. collection of specimens for mounting and exhibiting.


Arts and Crafts Program


Because of a shortage of gasoline and a greater shortage of manpower we did not appoint an itinerant supervisor of arts and crafts. Each playground supervisor handled her own program and the result was more than gratifying.

SPECIAL EVENTS


Nature Study Exhibit


A two-day exhibit of work done in the nature study program at the Southbridge playgrounds was held at the former First National store next to Edwards department store on Main Street, on Thursday, August 12 and Friday, August 13.


The exhibit included collections of mounted wildflowers, leaves, grasses and insects; birdhouses, feeding stations, small animals and insects, and equipment used in nature work. On Thurs- day the exhibit was shown from 10 a. m. to 8 p. m., and on Friday from 10 a. m. to 6 p. m. A playground supervisor was there at all times.


Prizes were awarded for the best collection books in each de- partment. The judges were Dr. Alexis Pincus, president of the Southbridge Technical Society; Arthur Gaumond, chairman of the School Board; and Richard Headstrom, nature study instructor at the play- grounds.


Doll Show


The first doll and carriage shows since the opening session of the Southbridge playgrounds a few years ago were held at the various playgrounds at 1:00 p. m., Wednesday, August 4.


The public at large was invited to attend the shows along with the parents of the children.


Three judges were present at the doll carriage parades to se- lect the three best decorated carriages and best dressed dolls. Ribbons for first, second and third prizes were awarded by Play- ground Director, Paul E. Dion.


Track Meet


The final event in the Southbridge school playgrounds program took place Wednesday, August 18, when boys and girls from the four playgrounds vied for honors in a series of track events and feature contests ranging from 100-yard dashes to pie-eating contests, at the Dresser St. Field. The meet started at 9 a. m. and wound up at 3:30 p. m.


Over 1,000 children, who comprised this year's playground en- rollment, were eligible to compete in the track meet. Ribbons were given first, second and third place winners in each event.


The meet was divided into gour groups, one including boys from 13 to 16, and 8to 13, another including girls in the same age groups .


-109-


Events for the older boys included a 100-yard dash, a 440-yard run, 220-yard run, 440-yard relay, high jump, running broad jump, bicycle race, obstacle race and pie-eating contest.

Members of the playgrounds' staff actedas judges and starters.


Other Special Events


Among the other weekly events this year were pet shows, hobby shows, and exhibits of arts and crafts. The interest:manifested in these events was such as to warrant repetition in our coming summer programs.
