Superintendent's Report
School Committee of Agawam :
Gentlemen-I herewith submit my annual report for the year ending February, 1915.
In my report for the year closing March, 1910, I discussed at considerable length the advantages that would accrue to the town of Agawam if it maintained a high school of its own, giving some estimates of the probable cost of maintaining such a school. In later reports this matter has been touched upon. At all times I have been of the opinion that our pupils should be taken care of as they are at present until the time came when the town could afford to build and maintain a good high school, a school that would offer all the educational advantages which our pupils now enjoy. Is it not true that that time has arrived? It is costing the town of Agawam at the rate of $457 per month for tuition and transportation of its high school pupils, or $4,570 per year. This makes no allowance for increase in number attending or possible increase in rate of tuition.
I wish to call your attention to the conditions in the grade buildings. Every room in town is now occupied and approaching the limit of its capacity, notwithstanding the recent additions made to the Agawam Center and Feeding Hills buildings.
The school enrollment has been increasing rapidly during the last few years. The number of children in the schools of the town for several years has been as follows, high school pupils not included :

The growth has been so rapid since 1912 that it has been necessary to open one or two new rooms each year. I see no reason to believe that there will be any diminution in the rate of increase.
The town of Agawam, in its school department, is facing two problems-the matter of providing room for the increasing num- ber of grade pupils, and the matter of establishing a high school of its own. The first is an imperative necessity. The second is desirable, not only for the educational, social and civic advan- tages, but also as a financial expediency.
To meet this double need, two plans have been suggested as follows: First plan-Build a four-room building on the plains between Mittineague and Feeding Hills and put a two-room addi- tion on the Agawam Center school, postponing the erection of a high school building for several years.
Second plan-Erect a combination high school and grade building in the vicinity of Agawam bridge, a building with ample accommodations for the high school, with six or eight rooms to be occupied by the grades, as they are needed.
Before discussing the merits of these two plans, may I give you some figures that will show the cost to the town of the present custom of sending our pupils to outside high schools, as com- pared with the cost of maintaining a high school of our own? In some instances the figures are necessarily estimates, but I believe the estimates are conservative, and the conclusions approximately correct.
Present Plan

Tuition of W. Springfield pupils for one month $294.00

$6,450.00

$1,880.00
At an additional annual expense to the town of $1,880.00 we could maintain a high school and provide the needed accommo- dation for the grade pupils.
In regard to the two plans mentioned above, the plan of erecting a small building, with an addition to the Agawam build- ing for the grades, as compared with the plan of erecting a com- bination grade and high school building, I would say that the second plan, both from an educational point of view as well as from a financial point of view seems more desirable.
As to the question of cost, if the first plan is adopted it would mean the expenditure of about $20,000 for the small building on the plains and $10,000 for the two-room addition at Agawam Center, then within a few years it would be necessary to erect a high school building at an expense of, say, $60,000, making a total expenditure in these few years of $90,000 for buildings. By the second plan, for $80,000 it would be possible to erect a building that would give adequate accommodations for the high school with six to eight rooms to be used by the grades, thus housing our high school and giving us more rooms to be used by
76
the grades than would be made available by the first plan and costing the town about $10,000 less.
The plan of erecting small buildings and so scattering the school centers of the town is not conducive to an economical ad- ministration of the schools nor is it desirable when considering the educational advantages offered to the children. I have not space in this report to enter into a discussion of this question. School men and educators throughout the country and all those who have given the matter consideration are agreed that central- ization of the schools of a town makes it possible to achieve better results at less expense than by the plan of conducting small and isolated schools. Agawam has already entered upon the plan of consolidation, having closed some of its smaller schools and transported some of its pupils, and now to adopt the policy of establishing new school centers with small buildings must be looked upon as a retrograde movement.
In support of the plan of erecting a small building on the plains, it has been stated that there are 60 pupils in this neighbor- hood, and it is argued that so large a number of pupils justify the placing of a building there. Allow me to say that of these 60 children not more than 12 or 15 are living more than a mile from the Mittineague or Feeding Hills schools, and not any of them are more than one and one-half miles from one or the other of these schools, by actual measurement.
Unquestionably the advantage gained by being permitted to walk a shorter distance to school through having a building in this section would be more than offset by the fact that they would lose the advantages offered by the larger and better graded school.
To summarize: By erecting a building in the vicinity of Agawam bridge to be used by the high school and grades com- bined, it will result as follows:
First. Will cost less than other plans proposed.
Second. Will give us a better school system.
Third. Will relieve crowded conditions in the grades, pro- viding about 10 rooms to be used as needed.
Fourth. Give us a high school building that would be ade-
-
77
quate for any growth that could be expected for a long time to come.
Fifth. Give us the advantages of a recreation and social center to be used by all parts of the town, with the added prestige and increase in property valuation that would necessarily follow.

Report of Supervisor of Music
The annual report of the supervisor of music for the year ending February, 1915, is herewith submitted.
Music shapes character and ennobles life more deeply than most of the subjects taught in school and through music we hope to develop in the child a love of the beautiful and awaken his emotional nature.
The work in music has been carried along practically the same lines as last year. The object for which we are especially striving is better tone quality and we feel encouraged that now almost all the children sing with the head tone which gives that pure quality of tone which is so much more pleasing than the loud or hearty singing.
Sight reading, both classwise and individually, written work upon the theory of music and the learning of many songs con- stitute the technical part of our work, but our aim is to make of each child a better man or woman because of the refining and cultural influence of music.
In closing I wish to express my sincere thanks to the teachers for their faithfulness and co-operation, for without this help the supervisor would be powerless to accomplish results.

Report of Supervisor of Drawing
To the Superintendent of Schools:
I herewith submit my second annual report as supervisor of drawing in the Agawam schools.
The work in this department has followed practically the same course as that used last year, which was outlined more definitely in my first report. More time, however, has been spent in all the grades in measuring and construction work and an im- provement in neatness and accuracy has been shown as well as the ability to do better freehand lettering and printing.
In brief, the different subjects studied have been as follows:
Nature Drawing and Painting-Flowers, trees, landscapes, birds and animals.
Object Drawing and Perspective-Common objects found in the school and home.
Freehand Lettering-Printing of titles on covers for school papers, mottoes and calendars.
Constructive Drawing-Measuring and compass work and the construction of useful articles such as photograph frames, postcard albums, table mats of raphia, candle shades, calendars, etc.
Design-Simple decorations for the above articles and for the schoolroom in the lower grades.
At this time I would like to thank the teachers, committee and superintendent for their readiness to co-operate in the suc- cess of this department of the school work.
Respectfully submitted,
HELEN L. ARNOLD,
Supervisor of Drawing.
