A school system, however, does not stand still. There is no school system, even the finest, in which some improvement cannot be made or where some greater degree of perfection can- not be attained. Oliver Wendell Holmes, that great poet and philosopher, once said, "I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand as in what direction we are mov- ing." Better schools are always possible. There is always room for a greater degree of perfection in the utility and beauty of the school grounds and buildings, in the courses of study and other activities and features of the educational program, in the acquisition of better textbooks and more adequate supplies, in
16
working toward a finer spirit of harmony among personnel, and in creating and maintaining good public relations with schools throughout the entire community. Innumerable are the ways and means of improving school conditions and situations.
It is the primary task of a Superintendent to analyze the school system frequently and to endeavor earnestly to effect those changes and improvements which are essential and most needed if the youth of our community are to be provided with the type of education which will properly equip them for life in the chaotic world of today.
The National Citizens Commission, comprising the Na- tion's leading citizens, in recently released statements, re-em- phasizes the importance of the role of education today.
Mr. Bernard Baruch in commenting on the Commission's action said, "Education will help our citizens to distinguish be- tween truth and falsehood, and thus better our chances for freedom."
General Eisenhower said, "To neglect our school system would be a crime against the future. Such neglect could well be more disastrous to all our freedoms than the most formid- able armed assault on our physical defenses."
Mrs. Roosevelt commented, "The success of democracy de- pends upon an enlightened citizenry and as the world grows more complex, it is even more important to continue our efforts in the field of public education."
Mr. Austin declared, "Building a stronger educational sys- tem calls for widespread citizen support."
It is quite apparent that we, in Southbridge, should do all in our power to continue to promote the cause of education for the betterment of the community.
All our educational plans, policies, and programs must al- ways be initiated and motivated by whatever is for the best interests of the physical, intellectual, and spiritual well-being of the boy or girl who sits before us in the classroom.
We must continue to improve the professional standards of our teachers to the end that we may attract and retain good teachers. This will tend to make our faculty stable and efficient. Let us remember that a good teacher is still the most important factor in the educational life of any pupil. Better teaching means better schools. Competent teachers deserve adequate pay and pleasant teaching conditions.
Southbridge, like most other growing communities, is suf- fering from overcrowded conditions, especially in the elemen-
17
tary schools. We have tried to alleviate these difficulties by equalizing classroom enrollment wherever possible. Plans must soon be made, however, for larger housing facilities.
Essential supplies, textbooks, and equipment have been procured and requisitions for such have been approved. Every teacher must have necessary tools and teaching equipment to do efficient work.
Our school buildings need to be kept in repair and well maintained at all times. They need to be well painted, well lighted, carefully cleaned. This takes considerable time, ener- gy, and money. We will try to expand our maintenance pro- gram as much as our finances will allow. The custodians of Southbridge schools are to be especially commended for the job which they are doing in the upkeep of their respective buildings.
The duties of a Superintendent of Schools are countless; his time and energy, however, are necessarily limited. As an administrator, he must recommend practically all educational plans, policies, or programs which directly or indirectly affect the school system. The organization of all departments and units within the system both on the secondary and elementary grade level is under his direction. The supervision of work be- ing done by principals, teachers, custodians, and all other school employees is also his responsibility. He is the executive officer of the School Committee and the State Department of Educa- tion to carry out and enforce whatever decisions or laws these two legislative and judicial bodies may make. A Superinten- dent is responsible to several groups. His decisions necessarily affect all groups but are not always readily accepted by them, which makes his position difficult at times. However, it should be clearly understood that all my recommendations in regard to policies, personnel and procedure will be made solely on the basis of the best interests of the school system and the children of Southbridge. It has been well said that, "A school system will progress only to the degree that its Board of Education and school staff adhere strictly to professional administration."
A Superintendent's work is so vast in its scope that its suc- cess depends upon the cooperation of everyone in the com- munity working together for a common purpose, molding the children of today into worthy American citizens of tomorrow.
We will continue to work to improve our school system in Southbridge. To this end, the following recommendations, which I have made since assuming office in August, have been adopted.
18
ART SUPERVISOR
An Art Supervisor has been appointed to supervise this extremely important education activity in all the elementary grades as well as in the high school. This new art program is now in effect and the reaction and progress in Art already be- ing made on the part of pupils is quite noticeable.
NEW PHYSICAL EDUCATION PROGRAM
A new program of Physical Education to include every child of school age is now being conducted in our schools for the first time. One half hour per day is devoted to this activity in each classroom. This replaces the antiquated, uncontrolled recess period which is purposeless, unsafe, and unsound as far as correct physical development of the child is concerned. These periods of properly supervised physical education teach children how to play together; how to organize their own games; how to cooperate, live democratically, and grow into youth and adulthood, healthily, happily and heartily.
SPEECH ACTIVITIES PROGRAM
A speech activities program to include public speaking, dramatics, and debating has been organized in all our elemen- tary schools. This is important training for boys and girls dur- ing their formative years. If democracy is to be preserved, we need men and women, future citizens, who can stand before the public and express themselves with force and fortitude. Pu- pils will be given opportunity to show their skill in these foren- sic arts in public demonstrations during the year.
ONE-SESSION DAY
Plans for a one-session day at Mary E. Wells High School have been approved and will become effective as soon as details are completed for its organization. A Survey of parents, regard- ing its adoption, showed 95% in favor of the one-session plan. Pupils will have better chances of part-time employment, and more opportunity to participate in athletics, music, or other extra-curricular activities. Their school day will not be broken and their rotating schedule of studies will lend itself to greater motivation and incentive. Educators in general regard the one- session plan as more progressive and more sound from every educational viewpoint.
Plans for a one-session day at Cole Trade High School are being studied and surveys are being made with the coopera- tion of Director Raymond L. W. Benoit. State laws must be
19
complied with and other problems solved before its adoption is deemed feasible.
HOT LUNCH PROGRAM
A hot lunch program, subsidized by the Federal Govern- ment, is being planned to tie in with a one-session day. This means considerable time and study, to properly locate the lunch room in the High School and to arrange for adequate facilities and equipment. This lunch will be a type A variety, of necessity rather simple to begin with, but developing into a more elaborate and a more nutritious lunch as soon as time and finances will permit. We hope to make this hot lunch pro- gram available eventually not only to high school pupils but to one hundred bus pupils as well who attend the Marcy Street School.
SUPERVISOR OF FEDERAL LUNCH PROGRAM
A supervisor of this Federal Lunch program has been appointed.
CUMULATIVE LEAVE FOR TEACHERS
A 30-day cumulative sick leave for teachers has been adopted.
MUSIC ACTIVITIES
Plans to promote greater expansion of our musical groups -band, orchestra and glee clubs-have beeen initiated. New uniforms for the band should soon be available and a wider participation in music activities on the part of students in the grades is being encouraged.
IN-SERVICE TRAINING FOR TEACHERS EXTENSION COURSE
For in-service training of teachers in this new program of music education, a Harvard-Boston University Extension course is being conducted in the Mary E. Wells High School weekly under the direction of Miss Helen Leavitt of Boston University. A creditable percentage of our teachers have availed them- selves of this opportunity and are taking the course.
NEW COURSES AT TRADE SCHOOL
New courses have been added to our Trade School curri- culum both in the day and evening classes.
20
HOUSEHOLD ARTS
Our Home Economics and Household Arts departments are badly in need of new equipment, instructional apparatus, and renovation of housing conditions. Plans have been approved and completed to install new cooking units and to provide more modern facilities which will be taken care of in the immediate future. The instructors in this department are to be especially commended for their patience in working with such meager and antiquated equipment for so long a time.
MAINTENANCE
Some painting, cleaning, and interior decorating in corri- dors, offices, and classrooms has been done. Much more work of this kind is being planned.
HEALTH, GUIDANCE, AND VISUAL AIDS
Our Health, Guidance, and Visual Aids departments are expanding their services to teachers and pupils alike with ex- cellent results. More details of their work will be found in the individual reports of the respective supervisors.
SAFETY EDUCATION
A new program in Safety Education, including a course of study, has been integrated with classroom work in each grade.
Other plans for progress in our school system during the coming year are still in the embryonic stage. We look forward to their completion with hope and enthusiasm.
I thank you again for your marvelous spirit of interest in education and your whole-hearted support.
Respectfully submitted, ROBERT H. McCARN, Superintendent of Schools.
