REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS FOR 1955
To the School Committee and Citizens
of Southbridge, Massachusetts:
I herewith submit my second annual report as Superin- tendent of Schools for the year ending December 31, 1955. Introduction
The past year has been marked by a quickening of inter- est in education and its problems throughout the nation. Two decades of increasing attention, of expanding costs, and of ac- cumulating problems finally culminated in the White House Conference, which was requested by the President for the pur- pose of bringing into clearer focus the difficulties which beset our system of learning. There was general agreement that there is a shortage of teachers; that the building of new schools is not keeping pace with the growing enrollment, and that a new source for financial support of public education must be found. These were among the more important conclusions resulting from the conference.
The work of this conference, and that of many others of lesser stature, cannot be effective unless there is public accept- ance that the findings are responsible reports of men and women of integrity. If, after all the discussion is over, the skepticism which has characterized the general attitude towards claims of educators remains, little will have been accomplished. We shall watch enrollments increase without enough teacher replace- ments even for the present force. We shall witness the tendency to hold double sessions grow because there will not be room for single sessions. We shall be faced with greater burdens upon the present tax structure because no strong effort will have been made to find other revenues for the increasing cost of educa- tion.
We are, of course, more concerned with the effects these problems have upon the affairs of our own community. Two elementary positions were vacated at the beginning of last sum- mer, and replacements were not found until the closing days of August. People were appointed but found more lucrative posi- tions elsewhere. In one case, there were four appointments. The first appointee accepted and resigned a few days later. The second accepted and resigned the next day. The third did not accept because he did not consider the salary adequate. The position was finally filled, but the question of salary played an important role in this and all other cases where replacements had to be made. This is especially true when it is necessary to seek qualified trade school teachers. There is a shortage of teachers, and towns with salary scales below the average must expect difficulty in interesting people of quality and ability.
In regard to the shortage of school rooms in Southbridge, it need only be said that almost every person who took the
5
time to investigate, and there were many during the past year, agreed that additions or new buildings are necessary. There was considerable disagreement as to the best solution to the problem, but few felt that the present buildings would house properly all the students four years from now.
In recapitulation, the lack of enough qualified teachers is beginning to affect Southbridge. The need for more space, which the opening of Tantasqua and the abolishing of the kin- dergarten helped to alleviate in recent years, will become more acute in the near future. The condition of the present build- ings and equipment, the increasing need for more space, the impending additions to the teaching force to absorb increasing enrollments, the absolute necessity to keep abreast of salary increases in other similar communities will all add to the cost of local education in the next decade. Buildings and Equipment
During the past year, eight rooms in the high school, the auditorium at Pleasant Street, and the stage at Charlton Street were redecorated. The outsides of the windows at Charlton Street and Eastford Road were glazed and painted. A start was made toward the goal of weatherproofing West Street School and Eastford Road School. It has been a common ex-

perience to find water on the floors in both these buildings after severe rain storms. The boys at Mary E. Wells High School now have the modern rest-room facilities. The spacious new central office for the School Department will be found in the basement of the high school. The addition to the metal shop at Cole Trade High School was completed last Spring.
Four rooms at Mary E. Wells High School, one at Cole Trade High School, one each at Marcy Street School, Charlton Street School, and Eastford Road School have been completely refurnished. The Seniors at the high school have new lockers on the first floor in the corridors near their home rooms.
It is hoped that this project may be brought to completion as soon as possible so that every pupil in the school may have an individual locker thereby allowing use of the basement cloak rooms for storage of materials and supplies.
Four new typewriters and one new electric typewriter have been purchased. The cafeteria has a new stove, a new water heater, and an adequate storage room which was badly needed. There is a new curtain on the stage at Eastford Road School, and the public address system at that school has been complete- ly rebuilt.

Practical Arts
A few years ago, a law was passed by the legislature mak- ing it mandatory upon a town in which five or more pupils cannot avail themselves of the advantages accruing from regu- lar classes to institute such instruction as may best suit their needs. In conformance with this decree, we have had two such classes in the high school building since last September. Un- der excellent teaching, and with fine cooperation from all con- cerned, these classes have been making acceptable progress. Fifty percent of the total cost of this curriculum is reimbursable by the state.

Curriculum Guide
A new curriculum guide for all the public schools of South- bridge will be available next September. This has been a two- year project and has entailed a large amount of work on the
10
part of all members of the instructional force. The evaluation which is a necessary part of this study, since a thorough in- vestigation of present curriculum must be made, is a worth- while phase of the work.
Policies
Since an annual report provides the best medium for reaching a large number of citizens, a review of some of the administrative policies might be a source of clarification.
The established ruling of the Southbridge School Commit- tee in regard to transportation is as follows: A child in any of the first four grades in public or parochial school who lives a mile or more from the school he attends will be transported to and from school, once a day each way. The deciding distance for a student in grades above the fourth is a mile and one half. In many towns, the mile and one half distance applies to all students. 'Any regular exception to this rule would amount to special privilege and cannot be condoned. It is sometimes brought to our attention that a certain bus is not filled to ca- pacity. Using the capacity of the bus as a determining factor, one bus route might be carrying pupils who live a quarter of a mile nearer school than the limit. If this were done on one route, the parents on other routes would demand the same con- sideration, and, on routes carrying full loads now, it would be necessary to put on other vehicles. This could be a never-end- ing procedure. One exception, except for reasons of disability, and there would be no rule.
On stormy mornings, the traffic manager of the trans- portation company calls the Superintendent at 6:30 A. M. if, in his estimation, travel is too dangerous for navigation. If there is danger in travel, school is called off for the day because large numbers of our pupils come by bus, and many others walk distances which are prohibitive during bad storms. This policy has been instituted as a safety measure and its explanation may be enlightening. School may be called off for the day at 7:00 A. M. and it is possible that two hours later the sun may be shining. The Superintendent makes no pretense that he is a weather prophet, but the decision has to be made in a few minutes and must be final after the proper agencies have been alerted.

PROGRAM OF STUDIES
Diplomas are granted upon completion of four different courses; namely: Academic, Commercial, Civic-Social, and Homemaking.
Eighty-four pupils were graduated on June 10, 1955 and their names are included in this report for the information of interested citizens.
NEW FURNITURE - High School
IMPROVEMENTS IN THE SCHOOL PLANT
A considerable number of improvements and changes has been made in the school plant. These are listed below:
1. A complete remodeling job of the boys' lavatories was done in such a way that all health requirements are met.
2. Lockers for all seniors have been installed.
3. Four rooms have been furnished with new desks.
4. The painting of the interior of the school was con- tinued, and now many of the rooms on the second floor are completed.
5. A modern teachers' room for men has been installed on the basement floor. The room is equipped with modern facilities.
6. A new gas range has been placed in the cafeteria, and
13
the rear wall of the cafeteria has been remodeled to afford better ventilation.
7. The teachers' dining room has been redecorated.
8. An office for the Vice-Principal of the School has been set up on the first floor.
. The Principal's office has new linoleum covered floors. 10. A suite of offices for the Superintendent of Schools and his staff has been installed.
1955 FLOOD SERVICE
The high school building was opened during the flood emergency to offer shelter and food to those people needing these services. The assembly hall, during the early stages of the flood, was a distribution center for clothes. Many teachers, as well as the custodians, volunteered their services.
HOME MAKING
Home Making is a required subject for all girls enrolled in the ninth grade of the high school. Each girl takes two double periods and one single period of this course each week.
The program is not merely a cooking and sewing course, but a training in Home Making designed to teach the funda- mentals which contribute to a happy home life and to the many jobs with which a home maker should be familiar.
The work of the department has been made more efficient by the installation of two new sewing tables. These tables are the latest models and each includes two modern sewing ma- chines.
JUNIOR RED CROSS
The Junior Red Cross is a service organization. This group, under the able direction of Miss Luise Corbin, gives cheer and aid to the destitute, the ill, and the unfortunate.
The work of the group with the veterans supplements the tremendous task carried on by local, state, and national pa- triotic groups.
However, the work of the Junior Red Cross is not con- fined to local problems. Cognizant of the needs of many of our overseas allies, they have filled chests full of supplies that will take care of a school of forty-eight pupils for a period of one year. Each chest costs one hundred dollars to fill. The Mary E. Wells Chapter of the Junior Red Cross has sent chests to Greece and Korea.
GUIDANCE DEPARTMENT
The work of the Guidance Department will be covered in the report of the Guidance Director, Mr. Sven Rosengren.

THE JACOD EDWARDS MEMORIAL LIBRARY
THE COMMERCIAL COURSE
The commercial program includes: typewriting, bookkeep- ing, comptometry, filing, office practice and all general business courses. The cooperative program with industry is still in op- eration. The course takes place in the last semester of the se- nior year and permits pupils to alternate work weeks with in- struction weeks. The girls, four units of them, take places in reliable business institutions and have found this program most beneficial.
The equipment of the Commercial Department is kept at maximum efficiency. This year four more electric typewriters were added to the department.
THE COLLEGE PREPARATORY COURSE
The College Preparatory course prepares students for all leading universities and colleges in the country. Many of the pupils receive large scholarships, a tribute to their own industry and a tribute to the excellent instruction of their teachers. Stu- dents from this course have entered such leading institutions as Cornell, Connecticut College for Women, Brown University, the College of the Holy Cross, Tufts, Dartmouth, University of Massachusetts, Boston University, University of Michigan, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Clark University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University, Smith College, Mount Holyoke, Wellesley College, Simmons College, Columbia University, University of Connecticut, University of New Hampshire, Williams College, Colorado College, Ohio State University, The College of New Rochelle, California Institute of Technology, Georgia Institute of Technology, Pennsylvania State College, Northeastern University, plus most of the leading business colleges and nurs- ing schools.
THE EIGHTH GRADES
The eighth grades of the school system are still housed in the high school building. This year it has been necessary, be- cause of increased enrollment, to have five eighth grade home rooms. The pupils receive the program opportunities of the high school, and they are eligible for all high school activities, including sports.
STUDENT COUNCIL ACTIVITIES
The Student Council of the Mary E. Wells High School plays an important part between students and administration. This organization is under the direction of Miss Constance Coderre. The values of the organization are manifold.
15
1. Pupils participate in or manage extra-curricular af- fairs.
2. Responsibility, initiative, and leadership are developed.
3. Proper student-faculty relations are promoted.
4. Training in worthy citizenship is furnished.
5. The general welfare of the school is promoted.
6. The internal administration of the school is aided.
The Fred E. Corbin Chapter of the National Honor Socie- ty, named in honor of the late Mr. Fred E. Corbin, inducted twenty-two members during the past year. The most recent induction was honored by the Principal of Woodstock Acad- emy, Mr. Gregory C. Coffin, who spoke at the ceremonies.

Assemblies are held every other week. These assemblies are of immense value to any student body inasmuch as they are not only educational but explore the various phases of school life. Furthermore, they widen and deepen the inter- ests of the pupils and serve as a means of developing public opinion and appreciation. The types of assemblies fall into many categories, such as are listed below:
1. Education
2. Music

RECOMMENDATIONS
There are several recommendations that I would like to make at this time:
1. That the Town look to the future and purchase land for the erection of a six-year high school. Suitable sites for such a school are being sold and developed for other purposes.
2. That the lavatory facilities for girls be remodeled and modern equipment be installed.
3. That a complete renovation of the Science Laboratory be made. New equipment is needed to keep abreast with the rapid progress of science.
4. That a library be started and a teacher-librarian be appointed.
5. That more lockers be installed until enough are fur- nished to take care of all pupils' personal belongings, coats, rubbers, etc.

6. That the Industrial Arts program be expanded in or- der that those pupils who are not interested in a Trade Edu- cation may have the benefit from allied courses.
7. That a biology laboratory be installed so that pupils may conduct experiments to increase their interest in the sub- ject.
