TWENTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT


OF THE


SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS.


To the School Committee of West Bridgewater, Mass.


The statistical portion of the report submitted herewith covers in general the school year ending in June, 1915, while the body of it has special reference to the events of the cal- endar year recently closed. It has been my purpose to present only such matters as should be of interest to the citizens of the town and to omit all irrelevant subjects from the pages of this report. Particular attention is called to the portion discussing the cost of the schools and the educational opportunities offered by them, also to the opportunities for correspondence courses offered under the direction of the State Board of Education. It is my belief that all of our citizens are interested in whatever concerns the boys and girls of the town and that necessary appropriations for school purposes are cheerfully voted. It is hoped that this report as a rendering of one's stewardship may receive careful and thoughtful consideration.

From the above tables it will be seen that the number of pupils recorded in the census of 1915 is 588 or 65 more than the number recorded one year ago. While our records show a fluctuation in the number of pupils from year to year, there is still, on the whole, a somewhat constant increase in school population, an increase for which we must provide teachers and schoolrooms. Our needs in this respect have been met for the present by opening a room in the High School build- ing for the ninth grade. This arrangement relieved the con- gestion at the Center buildings and at the same time made it possible to give needed relief at the Sunset Avenue school by transferring the sixth grade from that school to the Center. While this plan of transportation is less expensive than building new schools, I still feel that it is better that the pupils of the lower and intermediate grades should attend school near their homes when local conditions as to numbers of pupils justify such a procedure. A study of returns from the different schools seems to indicate that nearly the same arrangement of grades and pupils as at present in vogue will suffice for the coming year.


It is a pleasure to record a remarkably high per cent. of attendance for the school year ending last June. This record of ninety-five per cent. means that of every one hundred pupils enrolled in our schools only five were absent each day, on an average, for the whole year; it means that there must have been many days when the attendance was perfect, or nearly so, to bring up the average of the days when pupils were absent because of .storm or sickness. It further means a greater opportunity for effective work by the teachers and a correspondingly greater return to the tax-payers in the form of dividends, i. e .: boys and girls prepared for the duties of active citizenship.


Attention is called to the roll of honor given in Appen- dix D. One hundred and thirty-three names are recorded on the roll this year, or twenty-eight per cent. of the average


19


membership for the year. This number is nearly twice as many as received recognition last year and is a partial ex- planation of the very high per cent. of attendance recorded elsewhere in this report, Of the whole number recorded this year fifty-four received seven small certificates, fifty-four re- ceived eight and twenty-five received nine.


The annual tests for defective sight and hearing have been made with the following results: Number of pupils ex- amined, 455; number with defective vision, 34; number with defective hearing, 8; number of parents notified, 35.


The educational misfit is one of the difficult problems of any school system. He may be a defective child, sub-normal or simply backward. He is frequently considerably above the age of his associates in school and for this reason alone is at times a troublesome pupil, and in some cases a bad companion for the younger children. In large city schools this problem is met by grouping pupils of this class under a separate teacher who is especially adapted to deal with this type of pupil. A few months spent under the training of such a teacher will often transform the indifferent, backward child to such an extent that he can with profit take his place in the regular classes of the school. In our own system there is a growing need of a separate room for pupils of this type, who must now be dealt with by the regular room teacher. The time is not far distant, I believe, when this subject should be given our serious consideration.


Another problem confronting our teachers is the migra- tory pupil. Our records for the past school year show that more than thirteen per cent. of the pupils enrolled entered after the opening of school in September, while one room, with an average membership of less than forty, had a total registration of fifty-nine pupils. On the other hand, more than two hundred pupils have left town during the past three years. This frequent shifting of population within the year, unavoidable as most of it is, is responsible for a meas-


20


ure of the backwardness and lack of ambition of pupils through loss of time occasioned by the readjustments that must be made.


Ten years ago the total annual cost of our public schools, exclusive of construction accounts, was a little more than seven thousand dollars; today we are spending for the same purpose nearly twice that amount. During this period our average membership has increased sixty per cent, and we are now employing sixteen regular teachers in the place of eleven. The amount of money yielded for each pupil in the average membership, however, has increased from $23,46 to only $29.28, a gain of less than twenty-five per cent. during this ten year period. This increasing cost in the item of sup- port is easily explained by a similar condition in the industrial world. Nearly every item that enters into the problem of school expenses costs materially more today than it did ten years ago. The unfortunate feature of this situation, how- ever, is the fact that the increase in town valuation has not kept pace with the growth of our schools, the result being that the amount appropriated for support of schools has in- creased from approximately five dollars on each thousand dollars of assessed valuation to considerably more than seven dollars. It is an interesting fact, however, that although the cost of our schools has raised the tax rate by something more than two dollars per thousand, the ratio of school expenses to the total tax levied is today practically unchanged.


EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES.


One of the vital questions confronting every parent is that which relates to the preparation of his children for the part they are to play in the world's events. He is realizing more than ever that the meagre training and education which sufficed for a generation ago is wholly insufficient today.


2I


The business world is demanding a better educated and a higher type of employe, whose preparation must represent at least the equivalent of a high school education.


Our own community furnishes in its schools the oppor- tunity for a good grammar school education, supplemented by strong courses in the local High School. One of these courses prepares our boys and girls to take their places directly in the business world; another prepares for normal schools, another for colleges, while a fourth course gives a general education for the pupil whose training must end with the high school.


Education, however, is coming to be regarded more and more as a function of the state as well as of the home, as is evidenced by the tendency of recent school legislation. Pro- vision has already been made, through the establishment of vocational schools, for those who do not find in their local schools the type of training they desire. One section of the law provides that "any resident of any city or town in Massachusetts which does not maintain an approved inde- pendent industrial, agricultural or household arts school, offering the type of training which he desires, may make application for admission to such a school maintained by another city or town. The Board of Education, whose decision shall be final, may approve or disapprove such appli- cation. In making such a decision the Board of Education shall take into consideration the opportunities for free voca- tional training in the community in which the applicant resides; the financial status of the community; the age, sex, preparation, aptitude and previous record of the applicant, and all other relevant circumstances." The tuition for these non-resident pupils is to be paid by the city or town in which said pupils have their legal residence, but cities and towns that have paid claims for tuition in approved vocational schools shall be reimbursed by the state to the extent of one- half the sums expended.


22


Chapter 294 of the Acts of 1915 provides for the establish- ment of University Extension and Correspondence Courses under the direction and control of the State Board of Educa- tion. This board now announces a series of correspondence courses open to those who can give sufficient evidence of their qualifications to pursue such courses with success. No tuition fee is charged but students are required to pay in advance a small sum to cover cost of lesson pamphlets, stationery, postage, etc. Correspondence courses may be started at any time but should be completed within one year from date of registration. These courses which are of high school or college grade include work in language, history, government, economics, mathematics, commercial courses, drawing, steam engineering, electricity, etc.


REPORT OF THE HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL.


Mr. E. H. Grout, Superintendent of Schools :-


As principal of the Howard High School of West Bridge- water, I make the following report of the work done during the year 1914-1915.


At present our school has a memberehip of 102. The number is divided among the different classes as follows: Seniors, 16; juniors, 18; sophomores, 29; freshmen, 39.


Our school has again been approved by the New England College Board, which gives the school the right to enter a pupil by certificate to the higher institutions which give this privilege.


As a whole, the year has been one of real progress. The interest in the work on the part of pupils is excellent, and with few exceptions the quality of the work good. The teachers have been faithful and the pupils diligent and obedient. The commercial course is now firmly established


23


and very popular, and the efficiency of the congress increases year by year.


ATHLETICS.


The supervision of all athletic sports is in the hands of the Athletic Association. The association, through its sub- committees, controls the expenditure of all money, the hiring of coaches, the arrangement of games, the eligibility of play- ers, and generally seeks to raise all school sports to a level of genuine usefulness. Very gratifying work has been done in this field.


This has been a successful year and we are moving on, hoping for still further improvement.


In closing I desire to express my appreciation for the constant support given by the Trustees and Superintendent, and to thank teachers and many parents for kindness and encouragement.


Respectfully submitted,


BERTHA F. LAWRENCE.


REPORT OF THE SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING.


Mr. Edgar H. Grout, Superintendent of Schools, West Bridgewater. Mass .:-


Dear Mr. Grout,


The pupils in the different schools have been doing excel- lent work throughout the past year. Some slight changes in the course are being made, conforming to the outline planned by the Superintendents, appointed by the State Board of Education, to compile a course in drawing for the first six grades.


24


The new arrangement whereby the girls in the Central Grammar School will have sewing gives them an opportunity to correlate the constructive and decorative work of their drawing lessons with their sewing. The boys of these same grades will be given additional work in cardboard construction which should develop accuracy and constructive thinking.


The drawing in the eighth and ninth grades has been ex- ceptionally good during the year. At Christmas time both grades made portfolios to hold their drawings; this is a prob- lem in actual bookbinding that is well worth while.


During the past year I have been able to visit and teach in the Central Grammar Schools each month, and each of the outside schools three or four times.


Respectfully yours,


EDMUND KETCHUM.

The department of health of New Bedford is distributing among the school children of that city, the following very commendable circular of advice to the parents of school children, a portion of which I have taken the liberty of incor- porating in this report, which is as follows:


"Parents be watchful; note any unusual condition in your child.


26


The time to prevent serious disease is at the beginning.


The diseases to be dreaded among school children are scarlet fever, diphtheria, measles, chicken pox and whooping - cough.


Report at once to the Board of Health if your child has either of the diseases named above.


A very slight case of any disease in one child may cause a very serious case in another.


Be suspicious of a cold. It often leads to something worse.


It is best to be on the safe side. "An ounce of preven- tion is worth a pound of cure."


The health of a community is determined by its death rate. Look out for the children.


Prevention, protection, care and precaution should be the watchwords of every parent."


Many backward children have some physical defect or ailment which is responsible for their mental condition.


I wish to extend to the teachers and to all, my thanks for the assistance extended me in the work.


Respectfully submitted,


ELLIS S. LELACHEUR, M. D. School Physician.


West Bridgewater, Jan. 1, 1916.


CONCLUSION.


In concluding this report I wish to call attention to the reports and tables of statistics which follow. Mention should be made at this time of the withdrawal from our body of teachers one who has given the best of her life to the schools of West Bridgewater. For twenty-three years Miss Emma


27


A. Morrow, a devoted and intensely interested teacher, has impressed upon her pupils the importance of sound and accur- ate scholarship.


I wish also to extend my thanks to my fellow workers and to the members of the School Committee for hearty co- operation in all the events of the past year.


Respectfully submitted,


EDGAR H. GROUT, Superintendent of Schools.

At last, Howard High, we must leave, not forget thee; Must start on our journey, on paths yet untried. With hearts ever grateful, and fond words to thank thee We turn from thy portals with love and with pride. We'll never forget our school days now departed, And always will lovingly think of the day We left you forever, and so heavy-hearted Our eyes filled with tears as we last turned away.


Chorus: Dear Howard High! Howard ! We'll never forget thee; To thee will our hearts turn In love and in praise.


Life calls everyone to his joy and his sorrow, And few of us know what the future will hold. We all of us search not the past, but the morrow To do with success what each day will unfold. With doubts and perplexities many are troubled, But 1915 full of peace will pass by.


All cares that assail them, and trials that are doubled, Serene in their love for the dear Howard High .- Chorus.


In gladness we've spent many years 'neath thy bounty, Thy guidance so sure, and thy helpfulness blest. Our gratitude, rev'rence and ever our loyalty The years of well doing and work will attest. And now, Alma Mater, we leave thee forever, "Farewell," with sincerity, sadly we cry, With faith still unshaken that nothing can sever Our hearts from our pledge to the dear Howard High. - Chorus.


Benediction.
