There was also one change in the Groton St. School. In the late summer Miss Dugan, who was one of our oldest teach- ers in point of service, resigned to take a position nearer her home. Her place has been filled by Miss Agnes Dreven of Lowell, a graduate of Lowell Teacher's College. Miss Dreven
63
had good teaching experience in New Hampshire before com- ing to Pepperell.
During the past year we had the misfortune to lose the janitors of both elementary schools. Mr. Edward Gorman at Groton St., and Mr. Frank Farley at the Shattuck School had been in these schools so many years they seemed to be a part of the institution. When Mr. Gorman died in the early spring, Mr. Fitzpatrick assumed his duties. During the fall Mr. Farley retired and Mr. Fitzpatrick took over the work in this school. He is now janitor of all three schools and he hires his own help. This plan seems to be working out very well.
BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS
The Town was put to a great expense this year by the Government ruling that we would not be allowed any oil for the high school, and would either convert to coal or close the building. We managed to put off the conversion until sum- mer and at that time installed an "Iron Fireman" stoker and had a coal bin built. We made a contract with a Lowell Coal Company and have had excellent service on stoker coal. The heat is good, but the coal dust is terrible.
The new toilets have finally been finished in the Shattuck School, and the old ones have been removed. This improve- ment has been needed for many years.
Some alterations have been made in the basement to make it possible to serve a hot dish or lunch in the Shattuck School.
There was need of new lights and wiring for the base- ments and lower halls in the Groton St. School. This was completed in the fall.
Some essential repairs were made on the Varnum prop- erty and Mr. Fitzpatrick is at present living there to be near his work as janitor of the three schools. It is also a protection to the property to have it occupied.
COURSES
We have increased the amount of time spent on art by having Miss Attridge an extra half day.
Mr. Priske is continuing his excellent work in music in all schools.
There will probably be no chance of a course in manual arts, until after the war, but this is needed and should be in-
64
troduced as soon as possible Not all children are bookminded and those who are not should have the benefit of a certain amount of practical arts to supplement or perhaps take the place of much of the present theoretical or book teaching.
EXPENDITURES AND BUDGET
Increases in teachers' salaries and the installation of the stoker and building of the coal bin at the High School in 1943, increased our expenditures. Our fuel cost was lower, but we have been unable to get our usual supply of coal and wood for the Shattuck School. This will mean an increase in the cost of fuel in 1944 because more fuel will be needed at once in this building.
We have included in this budget a sum of money to carry on the summer playground program and have cut the budget to $46,100 which is nearly $1.300 less than was spent in 1943 if we included the $800 painting contract which has not been paid out since the work will not be finished until this spring.
REIMBURSEMENTS
The reimbursements which Pepperell had received for some years from the Massachusetts School Fund-Part 11 was lost in 1941 because the Legislature had set the valuation of Pepperell. for the purpose of taxation, at a figure which ex- cluded us from participating in the fund. However, in Oc- tober of that year a readjustment was made which reduced the valuations to a figure which should have included Pepperell in the list of towns to receive this reimbursement. This was discovered in 1942, by your superintendent after conferences with the local assessors, treasurer, accountant and Mr. Taylor, chairman of the Board of Selectmen. A petition with argu- ments was presented to the Department of Education with the result that we obtained the amounts due the town for 1941 -$5.346.07 and 1942-$5,383.80, a total of $10,629.87. I have petitioned for $5,064.7? for 1943, which I have every reason to believe will be granted this year.
I wish to call your attention to the following reports by the principals of the three schools and by the school nurse. I also wish to take this opportunity to thank the committees, teachers, parents, pupils, and friends in the town for whatever part they have had in making the past year pleasant and profit- ble educationally.
Respectfully submitted, DAVID C. BOWEN. Superintendent of Schools.

Reoprt of Principal of the Shattuck School
The following report would seem to cover items of inter- est to the public during the school year just completed :
School sessions have been interrupted several times to allow teachers to issue Ration Books to the people of the town.
A short day was also arranged at the beginning of school in September to allow pupils to assist the several apple grow- ers in town harvest their crops. Farmers so assisted report that a satisfactory job was done by pupils and that their help was essential at that time. It would look as though this plan might have to be adopted for the duration of the war, and that a plan to help farmers at planting time, also be arranged.
A new and up-to-date system of toilets has finally been installed and while the space allowed seems to be a little less than is actually needed, it is nevertheless appreciated by teach- ers and pupils.
We were sorry to lose Mr. Farley, our popular and faith- ful janitor, who had held that position for over twenty years. He was a sincere friend to all teachers and pupils of the school, and always willing to do all that was asked of him. We all wish Mr. Farley pleasure in his well earned retirement. His place was taken by Peter Fitzpatrick, who now has charge of all the school buildings in town.
A large proportion of children are availing themselves of the milk provided under the P. T. A. sponsorship, and costing the pupils but a few cents each week. The number of bottles served each day, runs between 160 and 175.
Plans for building and equipping a cafeteria in the base- ment were surveyed, and it is felt that a suitable lunchroom could be built and equipped for around five hundred dollars. This project is nearly completed and ready for use. It will be a well equipped kitchen and a convenient one to work in.
One hundred percent membership is reported by the School, in the Junior Red Cross. Children of grades four, five, and six have also carried out such projects as making nut cups, and collecting belt buckles for distribution to the soldiers, through the Red Cross.
Children of the school have also bought a total of $2,945.10 in War Stamps since the beginning of the year. Teachers
66
collect this stamp money each morning from the children, and they receive their stamps to take home with them at night.
Last June Mr. Drummey gave $10 as a prize to be given to the boy or girl buying the most stamps during the summer vacation. This prize was awarded to Lenora Melendy. Our appreciation goes to Mr. Drummey for his help and co-oper- ation.
Dr. Winograd and Mrs. Nagle have made their annual examinations of school children, and notices of defects have been sent home. Attention is called to Mrs. Nagle's report in another part of this report. Report of eye and ear exami- nations may be found under statistics.
Considering the unrest in children, which one always finds during a war, the school year as a whole has been quite satis- factory.

Report of the Groton Street School Principal
Following is my second annual report as principal of the Groton Street School.
For a few weeks at the beginning of the fall term children and teachers started work at an early hour, eight o'clock in the morning until twelve o'clock noon. However after the apple picking we were again back on our regular schedule.
The enrollment is a little less than that of last year. We continue to have three rooms in use and three teachers for six grades.
There has been one change in the faculty this year. Miss Dugan, teacher for many years of grades three and four, re- signed to accept a position near her home in West Groton. She was replaced by Miss Dreven of Lowell who has had two years experience.
Mr. Fitzpatrick is now carrying on the work of the late Edward Gorman as janitor. Mr. Gorman will long be remem- bered by both teachers and pupils for his long and faithful service. Mr. Fitzpatrick is doing very commendable work both as janitor and in interesting the boys in sports and good sportsmanship.
"Metropolitan Achievement Tests" were given near the close of the school year. These tests showed the subjects in which pupils were above or below grade levels.
By placing the "Number- Readiness Series" of Arithmetic books in the fifth grade we now have the same system from the fourth grade on.
Children have been asked not to come on the playground until fifteen minutes before the opening of school. The co- operation of the parents in carrying this out is asked.
The lighting in both boys and girls basements has been very inadequate and new lights have been installed.
The silent motion picture machine, toward which the Mothers' Club contributed a great deal when it was purchased. was sold to Mr. Maynard for fifty-nine dollars. This money has been deposited in the bank and is to be used at some future time for the benefit of the school.

Music is being carried on under the supervision of Mr. Priske and art under the supervision of Miss Attridge.
Mr. Priske has continued to conduct assemblies on special occasions. Everyone enjoys taking part in them.
Miss Attridge has been given a little more time in the schools this year. This time is used to good advantage as it allows children to finish. their work and get better results.
Physical examinations were conducted in the fall by Dr. Winograd and Mrs. Nagle. the school nurse. Notices of defects were sent home by Mrs. Nagle in order to secure as many corrections of defects as possible It is possible to reduce ma- terially the number of physical defects by annual examinations and follow-up work.
The "Toxoid Clinic" was held at the High School. Twenty-three children from this building availed themselves of the opportunity to be immunized against diphtheria.
Individual eye tests were given by the teachers. Hearing was tested by use of the audiometer under the direction of Mrs. Nagle and Miss Hanson a state public health nurse. Notices for defective sight and hearing were sent home. These tests enable the teacher to seat the children in the most ad- vantageous position for them.
The Mothers' Club brings about closer cooperation and understanding between parents and the school. They have continued to sponsor penny milk which is greatly appreciated.
I am pleased to report the enrollment of the entire student body in the "American Junior Red Cross."
Again this year we are promoting the sale of war bonds and stamps.
Children in the United States today enjoy privileges and opportunities beyond those enjoyed by any other children in the world. Children should realize and appreciate all that is provided for them so that they will want to make the best possible use of every opportunity.
I wish to thank the school committee. superintendent, teachers. school nurse. and all who have contributed in any way. for their assistance and cooperation during the past year.
Respectfully submitted.
ELIZABETH R. DWYER, Principal.

Report of the Principal of the Pepperell High School
During the present school year, the following courses were introduced at the Senior High School : Agriculture, busi- ness law, review mathematics, trigonometry, physics, mechan- ical drawing, freehand drawing, and business practice. These courses are enabling us to offer more complete educational opportunities to our boys and girls.
In the Junior High School, seventh grade Science has been replaced by spelling. This change should provide a more efficient mastery of an important tool subject.
During the past year and a half, the following extra- curricula activities were carried on : Physical education for the boys, boy's and girl's basketball, baseball, social dancing, social dancing instruction, assembly program, Pro Merito So- ciety, first aid instruction, wrestling, choric speaking, and Stu- dent Council activities. It is our plan to have each teacher sponsor one extra-curricula activity ; we hope that each pupil will participate in at least one of these activities.
The Student Council sponsored the Magazine Drive again and realized a profit of $308.65. Part of this money was spent for a radio-victrola. We plan to use the remainder for ath- letic equipment. We appreciate this help given to us by the townspeople.
The Parent-Teachers' Association is sponsoring Penny Milk again. The cost is met by the State, by the pupil, and by donations. The pupils may also secure this milk free. The Parent-Teachers' Association is pledged to make good any deficit. Chocolate milk is also sold. Each pupil is given an opportunity to supplement his lunch.
Over two-thirds of our Senior High School pupils are assisting in the war effort by working in industry, in business. and on farms. In the majority of cases, this experience has had a beneficial effect, scholastically.
The impact of the war upon our older pupils seems to have a sobering and maturing effect. The majority of our older boys and girls are considering high school as a preparation for the important war tasks that lie ahead and are applying them- selves with unusual diligence.
73
It is my considered opinion that our High School is staffed with unusually fine teachers and an unusually fine cus- todian. These men and women are making outstanding con- tributions to the boys and girls of our community.
Respectfully submitted, SERGIUS J. BERNARD. Principal.
74
Report of School Nurse
I hereby submit my report of School Nursing for the year 1943 :
Pre-school clinic was held with 40 children attending. Dr. Winograd spent much time with the parents at this time. Plans are underway for a survey of nutrition throughout the schools. One hundred and seventy-five children were taken home and parents were consulted concerning illness.
A monthly well-child conference was held this year with a Pediatrician, a Dental Hygienist and a Nutritionist. They were furnished by the state. There were One Hundred and Forty pre-school and school age children contacted with the follow-up work.
The audiometer, a scientific apparatus for testing hearing, was loaned to us by the State and it was used in all three schools last spring. A re-test was given in cases where defects were found, and slips were sent home.
A Toxiod Clinic has been held this year with One Hun- dred and Seventy pre-school and school age children attending.
Thirty children were taken to Ayer for Chest X-ray and two girls were sent to the Ashburnham health camp for two months.
Physical exams were held this fall and defect notices were sent home to the parents with follow up work in most cases.
Visits were made to all the schools and daily inspections and first aid was given.
During the last two years there have been twenty-six crippled and handicapped children reported and help has been given to them.
I should like to thank the teachers, parents and children for their cooperation.
Respectfully submitted,
WINIFRED N. NAGLE, R. N.
