ANNUAL REPORT of the SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS For 1965
To the School Committee and Citizens of Southbridge:
I hereby submit my twelfth annual report as Superinten- dent of the Southbridge Public Schools. This is the seventy- fourth in a series of such reports.
The trend toward equalization of education and economic opportunities has begun, after many years of discussion, to reach a point in development which is having and will continue to have a marked influence on the social structure of our country. Federal laws have been introduced and adopted by Congress with the full support of President Johnson which have brought new hope to the millions of Americans who still live in sub-standard environments: to children who might upon entering the first year of school be gravely handicapped in competition with others who have had pre-school training. to high school students so econmically deprived that dropping out of school to earn money and help at home has been a strong temptation.
These laws, in fact, hit at the very heart of discontent, frustration and need. They are so all encompassing and so many in number that the time is not far away when a school system of any size will find it feasible to employ a staff member to propose and supervise projects so that an equitable partici- pation in the available benefits may be assured. At the present time there are so many opportunities that it would be im- possible to discuss all of them in so brief a report.
The Southbridge School Department has, with the encour- agement and approval of the School Committee, several proj- ects and proposals in progress. These are some of them:
WORK-STUDY PROGRAM
The work study group, composed of trade school pupils who meet the requirements, performed useful maintenance work in the public buildings of the town during the summer and it can be safely said that the long distance plan for reno- vation of the school buildings was advanced a full year. A similar project was approved for the school year 1965-1966
11
and we have assurance that our proposal will be honored for the coming summer. The total amount allocated to the town for these undertakings up to now is $21.615.
Another similar program which is not limited to trade school boys and may include girls is the Neighborhood Youth Corps. The purpose behind these programs is to give young people work experience and to help them financially so that the incidence of drop-outs may be lessened. We have received the sum of $2,222 up to this date for the Neighborhood Youth Corps operation.
BASIC ADULT EDUCATION
The purpose of this program is to give every adult citizen in the United States who has not completed the sixth grade an opportunity to do so. We have two such classes and an enroll- ment of 38. We have received $2,137.50, an outright grant, for this project and the Town of Southbridge will be reimbursed fully for any further expense.
This is but the start. There are plans now to carry this program through the upper grades and high school thus, over a period of years, offering an opportunity for a full public school education to those who had the ill-fortune, whatever the the reason, to leave school at an early age.
HEAD START
There is general acceptance of the fact that children enter- ing the first grade from disadvantaged home environments have a handicap which only the most intelligent may overcome. If a child can be stimulated in a preprimary class to learn the simple educational principles he doesn't learn at home, he may get a head start on later success in school.
Our proposal for a Head Start program for Southbridge is almost ready to be submitted to the proper authority for ap- proval. If accepted and funded by the government, there would be created for the underprivileged pre-school children an op- portunity for development which has not existed up to now.
IMPROVEMENTS IN CURRICULUM AND SERVICE-
Planned for 1966
The addition of another registered nurse on half-time will increase the service of our medical department. The increase in work caused by new clinics has created a burden too great for
12
our staff of two nurses and the appointment of an additional staff member will bring our ratio to the State recommendations of one nurse to every thousand pupils.
The increased service will also permit us to have a nurse at all times during the school day in each of the two large schools and to have a more complete coverage in the other schools.
The Mary E. Wells Junior High School will have a full- time guidance counselor beginning September 1, 1966. This will allow our two present members of the guidance staff to meet more completely the growing demands of the Southbridge High and Cole Trade Schools.
An Industrial Arts Teacher will be employed for the Junior High School in September. Plans are being made to install machinery in one of the basement rooms and, by thus broaden- ing the curriculum, boys who are undecided about their secon- dary school plans will be given a chance to explore the ad- vantages of vocational training.
More students in the Junior High School will be given an opportunity to study French. We are looking forward to the time when all who can accept the challenge of extra work may elect this subject.
The Director of Audio-Visual Aids in the elementary schools will be released from classroom work half of each school day so that this important phase of modern education may receive the attention and supervision it should have.
The outside work performed by Trade School pupils has received considerable attention during the past few years. One of the chief difficulties in administering this program is that it is not educationally sound to take an entire class of boys to each job partly because of the supervisory aspect of the situa- tion and partly because the boys in the lower classes could benefit more from the shop training in school.
It is a worth while program and should be continued. Therefore the School Committee has approved the employment of another teacher so that the boys who are left in the shop can continue their training at the proper level.
We are in the transitory stage of upgrading sections of the Southbridge School System to meet the increasingly de- manding criteria of education, the state and the times. The improvements planned for 1966 will add greatly to the quality of education in the Public Schools of Southbridge. However, a long range plan should include the employment of another
13
teacher of art, a teacher of Home Economics for the Junior High School and reading specialists throughout the system.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Physical Education is taught in the first five grades due to the availability of auditoriums and gymnasiums which can be used for that purpose. There are excellent facilities for and teaching of physical development for students on the secondary level. However, facilities for the subject are completely lacking in the Junior High School.
The auditorium is in the middle of the building and sur- rounded by academic classrooms on two floors. It has been tried as a gymnasium but the normal noise that accompanies physical exercise was so great as to interfere with the regular program.
Serious thought should be given to sound-proofing the auditorium and installing shower rooms, or adding a gymna- sium to the building. In this day when great stress is rightfully placed on the need for physical fitness, and when there is this gap in our program, swift corrective acction seems to be in order.
REPORT OF THE SOUTHBRIDGE HIGH SCHOOL
Edward J. Desroches, Principal
Southbridge High School welcomes the mutiplicity of educational challenges constantly hurled at today's secondary school. Pressures of college admissions, new approaches in techniques and methods of teaching, new discoveries in learn- ing theory through accelerated and extended educational re- search, increased depth and refinement in subject content-all are providing exciting challenges to the professional educator in today's world.
The activities at Southbridge High School during the past year represent an attempt to meet the exciting and stimulating educational challenges of our time.
