We have used our new system of reading only four months but it is apparently working out well. The latter part of De- cember I heard several hundred first-grade children read, and most of them could read a full page from the primer with smoothness and understanding. This is especially interesting when one considers that four months ago very few of these children could recognize any words, and in some cases could not speak the English language. To obtain such satisfactory results means concentrated, conscientious and scientific ef- fort on the part of the teachers.

Of the changes in the personnel of our staff in 1938, three of our teachers resigned to be married. The principal of Junior High School West resigned to take a position as Super- intendent of Schools in another town. Two elementary school teachers are taking a year's leave of absence. No appoint- ments were made to fill the three elementary vacancies. They were taken care of through reorganization. Three extra teach- ers were appointed at the high school, due to an increase in enrollment of over one hundred pupils.
Bi-Monthly Analysis Chart
During the past year a bi-monthly analysis chart has been devised and put into operation in the elementary and junior high schools. The purpose of this chart is to supply each

teacher with a quantitative analysis of the abilities and char- acteristics of her pupils both individually and as a group. A great deal of time is spent in keeping the weak pupil from "failing." It is of equal if not greater importance to keep the able pupil from developing habits of laziness and idleness through assignments which do not enlarge his knowledge or by accepting from him work which is less than his best even though it may be marked passing when measured in an abso- lute rather than a relative sense. A teacher who knows the mental abilities, achievements levels in the tool subjects, and previous class performance of her pupils both individually and as a group from the beginning of the school year is better equipped to deal with this problem than one forced to depend upon more general conclusions subjectively arrived at after several months of experience with the group. Experi- ence with children is the only way in which a teacher may learn their individual temperaments and personal characteris- tics. Such qualitative aspects of a child's personality may change somewhat from grade to grade since a child's reaction to different teachers varies greatly. There is no substitute for the keen observation of an experienced and skilful teacher in evaluating and interpreting the child's every-day behavior. The quantitative aspect of his ability can be determined ac- curately if measured objectively.
Safety Patrol
Over a year ago, through the cooperation of Chief Bullock of the Police Department, safety patrols were organized in our elementary and junior high schools. The Police Depart- ment allowed us the services of Officer White in the organizing of these patrols. The patrols have been in operation for over · a year now and, apparently, with considerable success, judg- ing from the many favorable reports received from parents. If, through these patrols, we save the life of just one child, I believe that would make them more than worth while. If there are minor things in connection with this effort toward the safety of our children, the Superintendent will receive with pleasure suggestions for improvement at any time.

Central Stockroom
The central stockroom was opened the first of last Janu- ary in a room equipped for that purpose in the basement of the high school building. A complete set of inventory files was installed and all of the general supplies that are used in the various schools go out from this central stockroom. Each school building is supplied with enough materials for one month only. At the end of each month requests are re- ceived for the next month's supply. This system makes it possible to keep a running inventory of all supplies so that we always know the exact amount of any item on hand. Since we carry approximately 300 items, we find this arrangement much more efficient and economical. It enables us to keep accounts so that we know the exact amount of each item used in each school building and to readily determine the cost per pupil of supplies for each building. I find this arrangement a very helpful supervising instrument.
Athletic Council and Athletics
The Athletic Council which you so wisely organized over two years ago has assisted materially in the development of athletics. This council is made up of three members of the School Committee, the Superintendent of Schools, the princi- pal of the High School, the athletic director, the coach of foot- ball, the coach of that sport which may be under consideration at the time of meeting, and one member from the "A" club of the High School. The receipts have been carefully budgeted and taken care of in such a way that athletics have been car- ried on with greater ease. Formerly, it was difficult for the students to raise through their own unassisted efforts the funds necessary for all forms of athletics. Football being the most spectacular, it is always the money raising part of the athletics carried on in the schools. The past year Mr. Henry Hormel was appointed athletic director and has done an excellent piece of work for the Athletic Association in co- ordinating the various branches of athletics and supervising the various details of the different games. In the Arlington High School the various branches of athletics are participated

in by a large number of pupils and we have some excellent coaches directing the various sports.
Buildings
Our building problem is not so acute as in many other communities, but there are a few problems to which our citizens should give careful consideration in the near future. First, I feel it my duty to call to your attention again the need for the completion of the high school auditorium in order that our high school might function properly. Many of the boys and girls attending there at the present time are being denied privileges that are rightfully theirs. I wrote at length on this matter in my report of last year; hence, I merely men- tion the matter at this time. The present auditorium is an expense to the Town and is of little use to the school since it cannot be heated for assembly purposes throughout the winter months.
Second, the Hardy School is filled to its capacity at the present time. In view of the building boom in that district we will soon need more class rooms to accommodate the chil- dren there. I recommend that a committee be appointed to bring in plans and specifications for an addition to the Hardy School so that we will be ready to meet the emergency when it arises.
Third, the Russell School has about served its time, and consideration should be given to replacing this old building some time in the not distant future.
Fourth, the Junior High School Center is now filled to capacity and has reached the point where, in accordance with the safety laws, we will not be allowed to enroll any more pupils above the present number.
Besides the building needs I again wish to call to your attention the need of playground equipment.
513

I hope that careful thought and study will be given to these matters not only by our School Committee but also by our citizens.

You will note by the above table that there has been a decrease of $9.41 in the cost per pupil in the elementary schools since 1929. In the junior high schools there has been a decrease of $32.10 in the cost per pupil ; and in the senior high school a decrease of $43.29. The average cost per pupil for the school year 1929-30 was $108.72, and for the school year 1937-38, $90.70, showing a total decrease in cost per pupil of $18.02. Our average per pupil cost is at present considerably lower than the State average.

Consideration of these tables would indicate that a careful study of economy had been made in expenditures of the school department over a period of years. I am not sure that we have reason to be proud of this economy as it is possible that we have reached a point in reduction as low as, if not lower than, the welfare of the schools would justify.

Conclusion
Public education is the chief, single responsibility of any town or city in our Commonwealth. The importance of this responsibility is further seen by all who realize that educa- tion is the bulwark of democracy. Our civilization unfolds its life in accordance with the dictates of a public opinion that must ever be an enlightened one. It is a real privilege to work under the inspiration of such a responsibility.
This year has been one of cordial cooperation among all branches of the school department. I highly appreciate the spirit and counsel of the School Committee who are keenly conscious of the things that are for the welfare of our children. I want also to express my appreciation of the loyal co-oper- ation of the principals, supervisors, teachers, and every one connected with the Arlington School Department.
Respectfully submitted,
(Signed) JOSEPH S. KEATING, Superintendent of Schools.
