The End of An Era
With the resignation of Miss Luise Corbin last June, the oustanding service to the School Department of Southbridge of a father and daughter, extending over a period of seventy-one years, came to an end.
Mr. Fred E. Corbin served as Principal of Southbridge High School from 1886-1902 and as Superintendent of Schools from 1902 to 1931. During many of these latter years, he held both positions.
Miss Luise B. Corbin began her teaching careeer in South- bridge in 1914 and retired in June, 1957. She had all the attri- butes of a great teacher; patience, perseverance, interest in young people and unusual background in her particular field.
The Corbins, father and daughter, have been a strong in- fluence in the lives of the young people of Southbridge for the better part of a century. For all who knew them as educators and friends, we herewith express gratitude.

ANNUAL REPORT of the SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the School Committee of Southbridge
Gentlemen:
I hereby present to you, and through you to the citizens of the community, my fourth annual report which is the sixty- sixth in the series of such reports issued by superintendents of the public schools of the town.
Personnel
Sixteen teachers resigned and one retired from our instruc- tional staff of ninety-four during the past year. Two of those who resigned accepted administrative positions in other sys- tems; eight went to positions which paid higher salaries; four left the profession, and two moved to other communities. The difficulty of obtaining qualified replacements for these teach- ers, all of whom were experienced, must be apparent to all, but the task of maintaining an adequate staff is destined to be- come more and more demanding. There are many reasons for this, most of which emanate from the widely publicized short- age of teachers, thereby creating a greater latitude of choice for qualified, experienced teachers.
In the years previous to the Second World War it was cus- tomary for most people in the profession to stay in the same community for a number of years and in many cases for an en- tire career. Salaries were generally low; teachers were avail- able; security was paramount; and, consequently, there was no great incentive to move from place to place. There existed, too, in those years a tendency to apply for positions in towns other than those in which the teacher received her public school edu- cation. Now, however, experienced teachers are in demand. Salaries have become so varied even in Massachusetts that maximums may be from $2,000 to $3,000 higher in one com- munity than in another. Obviously, since so many opportunities present themselves each year, teachers who are not deeply rooted in a town will consider the prospects for advancement. Salaries in Southbridge have increased rapidly in the past few years, but we are barely maintaining a level which will allow us to compete in the market for new teachers and to keep the good teachers whom we have at present.
The time has come when a town must depend to a consid- erable degree upon its own resources in the replacement of re- tiring and resigning teachers. It is a common practice for col- lege seniors contemplating a career in education to measure the
11
attractiveness of an opportunity by the distance the school is from her home. Therefore, the number of local high school graduates who are preparing, or planning to prepare for the teaching profession is of the utmost importance to us. We hope that more of our able pupils will give full consideration to the advantages of teaching as a career. It has always been a re- warding profession spiritually. It has now become much more attractive from the material point of view.
Enrollment
When planning for future needs in school space, a commit- tee uses past enrollments principally to discover trends and to help predict future school populations. The trend for the past eight years in the twelve grades now administered by the Southbridge School Department has been one of gradually increasing enrollment. The prospect is that this steady increase will continue at least until 1963, which is the year when chil- dren born in 1957 will enter the first grade. The following fig- ures give a comparison of enrollment in the first eight grades between October 1, 1950 and October 1, 1957:

There were 483 pupils in Mary E. Wells High School on October 1, 1950. With the exodus of Sturbridge students to Tantasqua in 1954, enrollment in the local high school dropped to 380. However, on October 1, 1956 it had risen to 452 and to 466 on October 1, 1957. It is evident that the increase in pupils on the secondary level will be gradual for the next two years, but since grades 4, 5, and 6 average about 200 each, something must be done soon to eliminate the threat of overcrowding. A recommendation will be made by the Superintendent that the present seventh grade at Charlton Street School return to that building as an eighth grade next September. This can be ac- complished in that area because Mechanic Street School has been used as an annex to Charlton Street School since kinder- gartens were discontinued in 1955. This is the only possible
12
transfer of eighth grade students that can be made because there are no possibilities for obtaining the necessary space at Eastford Road, Marcy Street, or West Street Schools. The step beyond this proposal will be to institute double sessions in some of the elementary grades.
New Proposal for Expansion
A report of the School Planning Committee and a state- ment of its proposal appears in the Annual Town Report of 1957 so that it would be redundant on my part to include more than a few remarks about the plan.
There should be no consternation over the fact that this committee working independently, objectively, and diligently has come to the conclusion that a new high school is the proper solution to the building problem. They are in excellent com- pany. The following officials and study groups have all come to the same decision:
The School Planning Committee-1952
The School Committee-1952
The Citizens Committee for Better Schools-1954-1956
The School Committee-1957
The School Planning Committee-1957
The Finance Committee-1957
The School Committee-1958
The School Planning Committee-1958
The School Building Assistance Commission-1952-1958 The State Department of Education-1957
The chief objections, some of which were presented in 1952 and others in 1957, have been eliminated. They were:
1. Cost of plan
2. No need for new trade school
3. Distance from center of town
4. Ruggedness of terrain
5. Cost of land
To the group of people who insist that adding to the three large elementary school buildings is the only course, this must be said: From four surveys made by competent architectural firms, it was apparent to both the 1957 and 1958 committees that there would be no great difference in cost between the addition plan and the new building plan. In the first case the town and its children would get more space. In the second case the nec- essary space would be provided, and a modern program of sec- ondary education could be adopted.
The three large buildings were erected in 1937-1939, about twenty years ago. When they were proposed, statements were made that these buildings were planned with the idea of adding to them if the provision of more space ever became necessary.
13
Where was this addition to be placed at the Charlton Street School? The center corridors on both floors run the length of the building, but there isn't room at either end to build more rooms. Therefore, the addition would have to jut out either into the playground or in front of the building. This would mean lengthening the building by the width of a corridor to allow passage to the new rooms, a process which, according to architects would be very expensive. But where was the plan- ning for expansion in this building? To add to the north end of the West Street School, it would place the gymnasium between two sets of classrooms. The south end is adjacent to the much higher, very limiting land, in terms of space for building, of Alumni Field. An addition could be placed quite easily on the north side of the Eastford Road School.
Elementary school education has changed considerably in the past twenty years in methods, curriculum, and services, but the chief need is still one of sufficient classroom space. On the secondary level, however, since the inception of the idea of total education, more special areas are needed. Concepts have changed since 1939. Must this generation of students be limited by what was said almost twenty years ago?
Improvements - 1957
1. Two rooms were refurnished at Mary E. Wells High School.
2. One room was refurnished at Charlton Street School.
3. One room was refurnished at Eastford Road School.
4. A boys' sanitary room was equipped at Mary E. Wells High School.
5. Pneumatic controls were extended at Mary E. Wells High School, thus assuring a more even distribution of heat.
6. New equipment was purchased for the cafeteria.
7. Pleasant Street School was converted from coal to oil heat.
8. The playable surface at Eastford Road School was increased in size.
9. A drainage problem at Eastford Road School was eliminated.
Contemplated Improvements - 1958
1. The creation of a newly equipped sanitary room at Mary E. Wells High School is contemplated. This will complete a four-year project during which time it was planned to com- plete two such rooms for girls and two for boys.
2. Four rooms are to be refurnished at Mary E. Wells High School. Six sets of desks and chairs have been bought for this building during the past two years.
3. Two rooms are to be refurnished at the Charlton Street School. When this is accomplished, the elementary school furniture, excepting in isolated instances, will be in good condition.
14
4. Further extension of the pneumatic controls at Mary E. Wells High School will be undertaken.
5. More work will be done at the playgrounds at Charlton Street and Eastford Road Schools.
6. Extensive purchases of science equipment will be made.
7. A new science series will probably be adopted for the ele- mentary schools. ,
8. New lighting will be installed in six rooms at Mary E. Wells
High School.
Projects
At the present time studies are being made by committees of teachers and principals in the following categories:
Arithmetic
The goal of this particular project is to determine whether or not the field of arithmetic may be covered in seven rather than in eight years. If this seems possible, a start in algebra may be made in the eighth grade so that plane geometry may be taught to college preparatory freshmen, intermediate algebra to sophomores, trigonometry and solid geometry to juniors, leav- ing an opportunity for seniors to study either advanced algebra or introduction to calculus, depending upon the advice of tech- nical college authorities.
Science
There is so much interest in science today that a definite approach to the subject beginning in the grades would not only make the entire school program more interesting and attrac- tive to pupils but would condition those who have special apti- tudes for the more difficult high school science courses. Here again, it may be posssible to probe more deeply and, therefore, to prepare more completely for the highly competitive years that are predicted by college deans and registrars.
Many communities began the teaching of a foreign lan- guage in the elementary grades. The famous Cleveland Plan includes French in the program starting in the first grade. The difficulty in adding courses to the curriculum is that of sur- mounting the limitations imposed by the length of the school day. If the teaching of French seems feasible, it may be that it will be taught as a special subject after regular school hours to those who wish to participate.
Teacher Publication
Direct communication between school personnel and par- ents and other interested citizens is desirable from many points of view. It offers an opportunity to relate the various activi- ties of the school system, many of which are not important enough to appear in newspapers but are, nonetheless, of great
15
interest to parents. Such a project also offers the opportunity to present correct information, to stimulate comments from parents and, in short, to bring parents and teachers together more closely for the improvement of those activities which contribute to the development and welfare of students.
Curriculum Guide
It is anticipated that a curriculum guide will be available on the secondary level in September. A complete description of courses, material on college entrance requirements, and a summation of the services rendered by the school will be in- cluded in this guide.
Classes for Exceptional Children
This study has been in process for over a year. Visits are being made by the Principal and Assistant Principal to other schools having such a program.
There are those who believe that segregation according to ability is undemocratic in a public school. However, there is no other acceptable method for giving to gifted students an op- portunity to proceed at their own pace and thus develop more closely to their true potential. In addition, if we are prepar- ing young people for life after school, it would be fairer to have them realize that competition is inevitable.
