loafing. I am not in sympathy with the loafer. I do not believe we should encourage loafing in high school. If we have courses that are considered "cinch" courses we should discontinue them. We must, however, remember that in our schools we have a fifty percent. in high school who did not attend high school in the earlier days, that we should have something to offer this type of pupil since he is with us, and it is here that the high school of today is or should be a socializing agent. Only judgment which comes from long experience can assist the high school in avoiding the twin danger of insisting upon too much or expecting too little.
The high schools of our country, with all of the weak- nesses and mistakes, due largely to the tremendous number of adolescents ill fitted for cultural education, are doing a magnificent piece of work in building character and pre- paring for citizenship. The American high school, gathering in one institution young people of all races, creeds, colors and degrees of intelligence, inculcating the principle of majority rule and minority acquiescence, teaching coopera- tion and respect for the rights of others will, I believe, go down in history as America's most significant contribution to society. This is the socializing as distinguished from the educational function of our high schools.
Our own high school is attempting the two-fold task of educating and socializing. Students of limited ability may spend three years, probably the happiest they will ever know, in acquiring on the one hand such knowledge as they can grasp in exploring their own aptitudes and, of almost greater importance, learning their own limitations; on the other hand, they are realizing the meaning of sportsman- ship, loyalty, cooperation and good citizenship.
We are seriously handicapped in our citizenship pro- gram in the Arlington High School by not having an as- sembly hall where the student body can meet together and receive these lessons in citizenship and democracy. The high school assembly hall is the heart of any high school.

ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
Any efficient organization must have unity and this is im- possible to bring about under our present conditions. With a student body of 1700 boys and girls of varied personalities, interests and characteristics, it is impossible to have much unity without a common meeting place. In a school without an assembly hall the average pupil goes to his various classes thinking only of his own work and does not appre- ciate or care about his relationships with the school as a whole. Hence, while we have maintained a high scholastic standing in our college preparatory courses I believe we are falling far short in our socializing training.
The feeling of community spirit is absolutely necessary for the development of good citizenship. I believe that the morale of the high school would improve fifty percent. in a short time if we had the use of an assembly hall.
Loyalty, devotion, respect for law and order, and pride are qualities which make for better citizenship. School cheering sections, songs, awards, activities and speeches during assembly period help to build up an intelligent stu- dent opinion regarding the school. Here the pupil sees the size of his student body. He hears of its traditions, its ideals, its scholarship, its athletics. He sings its songs and is entertained by its talent and abilities. He thrills with its demonstrations and then he goes out and supports and champions its causes. In the assembly hall the student body can be united in efforts and interests for the welfare of the group.
I hope that the citizens of Arlington will find it pos- sible to meet this need in the near future, for I feel that we are falling short in the socializing and citizenship training that the modern high school should afford its boys and girls in the present day.
Guidance and Research
From careful thought and study during the past few months I believe we should have a department of guidance
419
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
in the junior and senior high schools. I have for a number of years considered guidance the heart and core of the school system. Without its follow-up work we cannot have a healthy and progressive growth in the public schools. Re- search, measuring, fact-finding must be carried on con- tinually if we are to work intelligently and make progress.
Reorganization
Through reorganization of some of the classes in the elementary grades we have been able to make considerable savings in instructional service costs during the past four months. The helping teachers have been absorbed into the system as regular teachers and, when several teachers have resigned we were able, by combining certain groups, to take care of the situation without calling for another teacher. This has been done without sacrificing the interests of the children. Through this procedure and the filling of vacan- cies with teachers in the lower brackets of our salary schedule, we have reduced the amount required for in- structional service for a period of a year approximately $12,000.
Immediate Needs
1. A more generous allowance for free textbooks to ade- quately meet the needs of boys and girls in a progres- sive school system ;
2. Completion of the high school auditorium in order that our high school may function properly ;
3. Installation of a telephone system in the new high school building.
Other Things to Think About
1. Consideration of a school building to meet the needs of children in the Morningside district ;
420

2. The purchase of playground equipment for summer playgrounds where at the present time there is no equipment ;
3. The replacement of old boilers in certain of our build- ings.
Conclusion
Education is the largest public project in which our country is participating. Perhaps one of the lessons from the depression is that the public schools must do more than teach reading, arithmetic, spelling, grammar and the other so-called tool subjects. If the next few generations are to meet the demands of life in a democracy they must have training which develops character, ethical standards, health, home responsibilities, and ability to think straight, to evaluate ideas and to determine what their action shall be in meeting their responsibilities to further the best in- terests of their community, State and nation. If the public school is to give this broad training it must have the hearty support of the general public. Democracy and public edu- cation go hand in hand. One cannot exist without the other. Bruce Barton says, "In times like these invest in boys and girls. When you invest in a boy or a girl you are buying at the bottom. You are sure that the youngsters are going up and there is no telling how far."
I wish to express my appreciation to the members of the School Committee, principals, teachers and all con- nected with the school department for the fine cooperation which I have received during my first few months in Arl- ington. I greatly appreciate the measure of freedom that the School Committee has given me in the discharge of my duties and trust that I can so conduct your affairs to be fully worthy of your confidence.
Respectfully submitted,
JOSEPH S. KEATING, Superintendent of Schools.
