The special items are: vocational $300.00, new equipment (desks) $60.00, fertilizer for the front lawn $50.00, and for paint- ing the trimmings on the high school, which are becoming very dry and weathered, $400.00. These bring the special items to $810.00 for the year 1936 as compared with $950.00 for the year 1935.
In view of the fact that it is necessary to make the above changes the committee believes that the high standard of the Hamilton Schools will be maintained.

TEACHERS
There was but one change in the teaching force during the year. Miss Bessie F. McRae, who had served most satisfactorily
6
HAMILTON TOWN REPORT
in the Commercial Department for ten years, resigned in June to be married.
Miss Beatrice Edmondson was elected to succeed Miss McRae.
ORGANIZATION
The enrollment at the Adelaide Dodge Walsh School continues to be small and therefore requiring the services of but one teacher. By combining classes and not adhering to too close grading of pupils it has been advantageous to the teacher and pupils.
The Coach Class at the Jonathan Lamson School is maintained with an enrollment of ten. Pupils in this group continue, when- ever possible, to do a part of each day's work with their grade. In other work they advance according to their ability to do the fundamental work thoroughly. The opportunity given this group to take work in Industrial Arts at the High School as well as to have considerable instruction in handwork related to their daily classes makes the work more interesting and of greater value to the pupils concerned.
Enrollment in the several grades at the Jonathan Lamson School is none too large to allow for thorough work with all pupils and special assistance for the few having difficulty. Progress in these grades is as thorough and rapid as is possible for the pupils' interests.
At the opening of the school year several changes were made in allocation of subjects to be taught by teachers at the High School that each might teach those subjects for which he or she is best fitted. The class and pupil load is now as evenly divided as is possible and thereby teachers are able to make better prepara- tion of their work and give more of their time to those desirous of special assistance.
SCHOOL REPORT
PROMOTION OF HEALTH
The necessity of a body as nearly one hundred percent perfect as possible is necessary in order that one may obtain from the opportunities offered the fullest degree of satisfaction.
Our health program has a two-fold purpose: to prevent illness and to restore health to those who may be ill. The painstaking efforts of the school physician and school nurse through the thorough physical examination given annually to all pupils and the follow-up work on all cases needing medical or other care assures us of a healthy group of pupils.
The report on immunization against diphtheria shows that less than ten percent of the pupils are not permitted by parents to be immunized. It would hardly seem that any parents would wish their children to suffer with any contagious disease when the same can be easily avoided without expense to the family.
The Chadwick Clinic for detecting tuberculosis in its early stages has now been transferred to the Tuberculosis Sanatorium at Middleton for tests and follow-up work with pupils of our schools. We are fortunate in being able to avail ourselves of the services of specialists from the Sanatorium for detecting any cases of tuberculosis in its early stage. The close contact established by the specialists from the Sanatorium with the School Physician, School Nurse and pupil's family physician assures us that bene- ficial results will be achieved if parental cooperation can be secured.
The Dental Clinic conducted by Dr. Walter R. Philbin at the Jonathan Lamson School affords an opportunity for pupils to have a free examination of their teeth and a report of the same. They may then have their work done by their family dentist or by Dr. Philbin.

HAMILTON TOWN REPORT
STATE REQUIREMENTS
An Act of the last General Court requires that all teachers in our public schools take the "Oath of Allegiance" which is: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the position of. in.
(Title or Position) (Designation of School) " according to the best of my ability.
(Signature)
All teachers have complied with this requirement.
The United States flag is displayed on all school buildings in suitable weather, a United States flag is on display at all times in each of the several classrooms and the "Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag" is given as required by law.
SCHOOL GROUNDS
The field about the High School has now been graded and seeded making it possible to develop the grounds for use of the school's outdoor activities.
The areaway in close proximity to the High School building has been greatly improved by the setting out of trees donated by Mr. Frederic Winthrop, Jr., and Mr. Oliver Wolcott. The Wel- fare Department cooperated in providing labor and trucks for moving the trees. Without their assistance the work could not have been done. With the addition of the necessary evergreens about the flagpole and front foundation of the building we shall have a school building in one of the most attractive settings in the County.
The grounds at the Jonathan Lamson School and Adelaide Dodge Walsh School will be improved as soon as it is possible to secure the necessary labor and trees for the projects.

SCHOOL REPORT
PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT
At present there are 179 pupils enrolled at the Jonathan Lamson School. These pupils are on the playground from one to two hours daily but have no permanent equipment to enjoy which would require them to confine their play activities to the school grounds. Due to the fact that the grounds are small for the number of children who use them and that streets border the grounds on two sides it would seem advisable to recommend that consideration be given to providing permanent playground equip- ment. To provide greater safety for the children than can now be given by teacher supervision either shrubbery or a fence, which would not be unattractive, should be provided for the two sides of the grounds adjacent to the streets. The cost of the equipment and fence would doubtless be far less than expense incurred by the injury to one child.
PROJECTS
A project for building a double tennis court on the High School grounds has been prepared and will soon be submitted to the proper authorities. Other projects covering thorough refinish- ing jobs for two classrooms and the boiler room at the Lamson School are in preparation for submittal.
SUBJECT MATTER
Without going into details I will say that our emphasis on academic work this year has not been confined to any particular subject of the curriculum but rather devoted to the improvement of the work as a whole. By such a program it has been possible to improve the instruction more specifically as needed and to give greater emphasis to the individual needs of the children. It is
10
HAMILTON TOWN REPORT
anticipated that such a program of procedure will for the present be of more educational value in solving some of our problems, of which I am aware, than any other procedure.

SCHOOL REPORT
REPORT OF HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
MR. JOHN D. WHITTIER,
Superintendent of Schools, Hamilton, Massachusetts.
DEAR SIR :
I present herewith my fourth annual report as Principal of the Hamilton Junior and Senior High School.
The past year has been one of purposeful activity on the part of the pupils. The faculty has been conscientiously competent and sympathetic in their instruction, and I have realized a year of accomplishments along several and varied lines. The splendid cooperation of all school officials made the year one of the best that I have yet experienced in my 12 years of teaching.
The caps and gowns worn by the graduates, excellently delivered speeches and a well-rounded program, all contributed toward mak- ing the graduation exercises most impressive. The Senior Recep- tion was held during the evening following graduation and this proved a pleasant and appropriate ending of the High School days of the graduates. The class's gift to the school was a portable moving picture projector. This will be used as an aid to class instruction and it will also serve as a means of entertainment. Visual education is widely recognized by most institutions of learn- ing at the present time and there are many films available.
A majority of the senior class members journeyed to Washing- ton, D. C., during the spring vacation. By all reports they had a pleasant and long-to-be-remembered trip. The accompanying chaperones were Mrs. Edward Sargeant and Bryce Walton. At the present time there are six or more members of the present senior class who are planning to go to Washington this spring.
12
HAMILTON TOWN REPORT
The local post of the American Legion sponsored a competitive examination on the Constitution of the United States. There was to be a certificate awarded to the boy and girl who received the highest rank on the examination. A disinterested person outside of the school made out the examination, corrected it, and found that Marguerite Bilodeau had the highest score for the girls with George Sprague and Bernard Greeley tied for honors among the boys. The result was that these three pupils were awarded certifi- cates at the graduation exercises by the present State Commander of the American Legion, Mr. John Walsh. This contest will be sponsored again this year.
Due to the fact that good oral English is so essential for success in all walks of life, I have inaugurated a course in public speaking which is open for election by all senior High School pupils. Thirty pupils are now taking advantage of this course. The aim of instruction is to teach individuals the fundamental principles of public speaking and provide them every possible opportunity of speaking before groups of people. I have received splendid coop- eration from the several organizations in town. This past Fall organizations invited pupils from the class to speak at their meet- ings in recognition of American Education Week. This gave the pupils an opportunity to put into practice the principles of effec- tive public speaking. At the present time plans have been made for six members of the class to go to the Concord High School in February and compete in a preliminary state divisional public speaking contest. Winners of this contest will compete later in a state contest.
Pupil participation in school government continues this year. All members of the Student Council are planning to attend the Eastern Division of the State Student Council Association which will be held at the Brighton High School during the month of February. I hold great respect for members of the Council. They
13
SCHOOL REPORT
have shown wisdom and foresight; and all matters which concern the betterment of the school are given their careful consideration. Pupils elected to either the Student Council in the Senior High School or to the Student Senate in the Junior High School receive by their election the highest honors which can be paid them by their fellow classmates.
In regard to the locker situation at the school, I want to sug- gest and even urge parents to please make sure that each article of personal belonging is marked conspicuously so that it can be easily identified. Locker doors are often left unlocked and in times of haste are left open when they are thought to be locked. A certain type of person will always borrow articles when needed, if it is possible. Therefore, pupils must use care to see that lockers are closed and locked at all times. All responsibility of articles left in lockers must be born by the assignee. We do all in our power to assist in the protection of property but we cannot guarantee it.
The program is planned in the Physical Educational Depart- ment for the purpose of setting a standard of living among pupils which will be superior to that of the average person. Every pupil has two periods each week set aside for physical education instruc- tion. We aim to have every boy and girl acquire first, a normal growth and organic development; second, a development of those fundamental traits of character which have a direct relation to his fellows ; third, an intelligent and healthful interest in physical activity that will carry over into adult life. There is need of a great deal of individual corrective work regarding posture which we recognize and care for so far as we are able.
It is our intention that every pupil will learn the fundamental skills of major sports and understand the fundamentals of game rules so that he or she may be an intelligent observer.
We are planning a public demonstration of the physical educa-
14
HAMILTON TOWN REPORT
tional work of the school in the Spring. All parents will be inter- ested in this and I am in hopes that as good an attendance will be present as there was for the evening session of school when we recognized American Education Week last November.
The athletic teams which have represented us during the past year have done credit to the school and town. They have won their share of games. Good sportsmanship is coveted above the winning of a game and we strive to follow it when existing con- ditions are difficult to surmount.
Both teachers and pupils miss the sunny disposition and able instruction of Miss Bessie McRae, but her position is ably filled by Miss Beatrice Edmondson.
I sincerely believe that the school has closely approached the mark which you expressed to me that it would when I first came to Hamilton; namely, that it develop to be the best high school of its size in the State. I want to thank you and the members of the School Committee for the cooperation and advice which I have received. It has been a source of inspiration to me in the proper guidance of school problems.
Respectfully submitted,
ROLAND W. PAYNE
