REPORT of the
HAMILTON SCHOOL COMMITTEE 1943
REPORT of the SCHOOL COMMITTEE
To the Citizens of Hamilton:
The year 1943 brought many problems to the school board. A great ma- jority of these problems were due directly or indirectly to war time condi- tions. Not the least of these difficulties was the frequent changes in our teaching force, especially in the high school. Due to the shortage of teachers it was necessary for us to hire several with little or no experience. We found it impossible to secure a qualified shop instructor until the first of December. As a result our shop was closed for a period of four months. The vacancy now has been filled, and the committee is glad to report that this important subject is being handled satisfactorily.
It was with deep regret that the committee had to accept the resignation of Mr. Malone as principal of the high school. He had done a very creditable piece of work, but finding his added duties as principal too great a strain, re- signed his principalship and resumed his former position as head of the lan- guage department. The duties of the principal have now been combined with those of the superintendent. The committee feels this combination of the two positions is adequate for a school system of our size.
The Lamson School lunch room ceased to be operated as a W.P.A. project in April and was taken over by the school department. Necessary alterations and repairs were made in the cafeteria. Mrs. Madeline MacGregor, who had been assisting at the High School cafeteria was appointed manager, with Mrs. John Ostrom as assistant. Mrs. Margaret Back was appointed to the vacancy at. the high school. The cafeterias in both schools are under the supervision of the domestic science department of the high school. This cooperative sys- tem has proved to be very satisfactory, and the children are being served both nutritive and ample lunches.
The transportation of pupils is being ably handled by Mr. Donald Trus- sell, who has been very cooperative with the school board in all transportation problems. Due to the national change from standard to war time, the com- mittee decided to begin school a half hour later than had been the custom in the past. This was done to eliminate the necessity of many pupils having to leave their homes before daylight in order to get the school bus.
The year 1944 will complete the third year in which the Hamilton schools have been operated as a system independent of a school union. The commit- tee is convinced that this change has been a beneficial one. There have been many difficulties to meet, and this being a new venture to all concerned, no doubt mistakes have been made; but the progress made and the good accom- plished has more than out-weighed any errors which may have occurred while trying to accomplish our ultimate goal -a school system ably administered and capable of preparing our boys and girls for good citizenship and success in their future lives.

The financial report for the year 1943 is included elsewhere in this town report and is self explanatory.
In closing, the school committee wishes to express its appreciation to the members of the faculty and other employees for their splendid loyalty and cooperation in fulfilling their various duties. The committee also wishes to thank the town officials who have been of assistance during the past year.
Respectfully submitted,
ALLAN MacCURRACH, Chairman MRS. GRACE LAMSON, BRYCE B. WALTON.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the School Committee,
Town of Hamilton
In gathering material for this report I have reviewed my reports of 1941 and 1942. Both of these reports open with a paragraph regarding schools in time of war. It is a regrettable fact that this report also will have to deal largely with wartime restrictions as they affect the schools. Let us most fer- vently hope that when time rolls around for another report the clouds of war will have rolled away.
The children of our country are facing a tragic situation. Never before have so many teachers been forced out of the profession because of their in- ability to meet rising living costs on their low salaries. This feeling of inse- curity together with the general unrest throughout the world has made the school administrator's task extremely difficult.
Hamilton normally employs eighteen full time teachers, a part time music teacher and a superintendent, who at present also acts as principal of the High School. Since September 1941 it has been necessary to hire eighteen replace- ment teachers, one military substitute, and two temporary substitutes. It is not always possible to keep a teaching program intact when hiring new teach- ers but the following table shows approximately how the changes have been made and the departments most affected.

This table refers only to major subject changes. Many of these teachers are also assisting in other overlapping departments. Even a cursory glance at the table discloses the tremendous task facing the administration in at- tempting to hold the organization together and at the same time continue with a constructive plan of educational development. These teachers have in nearly all cases moved on to positions paying from $300 to $500 more than Hamilton was willing to pay.

The hiring of new teachers necessitates the interviewing of many candi- dates, innumerable telephone calls to agencies and placement bureaus and often many miles of travel by train, bus, and automobile since one must leave no stone unturned when hunting for teachers who will keep themselves tuned to the times and who are willing and eager to crowd their teaching hours with the interests and needs of the youth they teach. Once we have found a good teacher it is necessary that we make the position attractive by providing pleasant living conditions and by paying substantial salaries. It is unjust and unfair that teachers should be placed in a precarious economic condition at a time when the nations income has reached new heights.
I have in previous reports had a great deal to say about guidance. Guid- ance, both vocational and educational, is one of the administrators most im- portant and most difficult problems. Guidance cannot just be put into a school system. The entire staff must be educated and stimulated for the develop- ment of this service. The average teacher is prone to lose sight of the in- dividual and his problems, in his own enthusiasm for his particular subject. The importance of holding a teaching force intact over a period of years is
7
obvious in any discussion of guidance. Teachers and administrators must be in a school system long enough to become personally acquainted with the stu- dents and to win their confidence. For the individual conference in which there is complete rapport between teacher and pupil is the keynote to a suc- cessful guidance program. Youth does not react favorably to a confidential conference with a comparative stranger.
Early in the fall the Iowa Tests of Educational Development were given to students in grades nine through twelve. The major purposes of these tests are to enable teachers and administrators to keep themselves more inti- mately and reliably acquainted with the continuing educational development of each individual pupil in order that instruction and guidance may be better adapted to his peculiar and changing interests, needs, and abilities.
As over fifty thousand boys and girls in the United States took part in this program it took several weeks for the correction and return of these tests. Each teacher now has a copy of the test results which she is using in plan- ning her work and which will be used as data for individual conferences. This testing program in order to be most effective will be followed up at periodic intervals with standardized subject matter tests.
It is gratifying to note that our boys and girls made high percentile scores in those areas in which they showed weaknesses when last tested with standardized tests. This is scientific proof that our attempts at curriculum reconstruction are producing results.
Our lunchroom program which covers both the High and Lamson Schools has been commended by the State Department of Education. Although the ap- propriations for these departments may seem high let us not forget that all money received is turned back to the town and that this money covers the cost of food. The only expense to the town is for salaries paid to the women who prepare the meals.
The milk program is now taken care of by the cafeteria appropriation and is subsidized by the Federal Food Administration so that the net cost to the child is two cents per glass. It may be possible later in the year to re- ceive some Federal subsidy to supplement the appropriation in meeting the rising cost of food.
The budget for 1944 shows an increase over the 1943 budget for the fol- lowing principal reasons; (1) the cost of books and supplies has increased ; (2) it is necessary to pay higher salaries when replacing teachers who move on; (3) one additional teacher has been added to the high school staff because the increased demand for pre-induction courses has made it necessary to teach both chemistry and physics the same year; the seventh and eighth grades have been divided for more efficient instructional purposes ; (+) necessary re- pairs will be more costly under present economic conditions.
Figures are not available from 1943 town reports but the following table from representative towns in Massachusetts of less than 5,000 population and maintaining high schools for the year ending November 30, 1942 shows that Hamilton is not out of line in its school budget. All of these towns that have been contacted report a heavily increased budget for 1943-1944.

For a more detailed account see town accountant's report. The major maintenance and repair work for the year includes these items : At the Lamson School :
The exits in some of the rooms were originally built to open inward. These doors have now been changed so that all doors leading to fire escapes
10
open outward. The cafeteria kitchen was remodeled and painted. The floors of the classrooms and corridors were sealed and waxed. New window shades were purchased for the south side of the top floor.
At the High School :
Work had to be done on the assembly hall floor twice during the year. The stokers were serviced, the heating plant was checked and the chimney was pointed up. The radiators and pipes in the kitchen were painted.
Teachers meetings have been held periodically in which the development of courses of study has been discussed in accordance with plans suggested last summer at Harvard University. Progress has been made toward a better understanding of the analysis of classroom procedure.
Professional reading and study have been encouraged through conferences and the Essex County Teachers Institute. This institute for elementary teachers is sponsored by the superintendents of Manchester, Rockport, Hamil- ton and Wenham. The State Department of Education has furnished profes- sional lecturers in reading, literature, arithmetic, the social studies and art. All of the Lamson School teachers have attended all of these meetings. They have taken part in some of the projects and have brought back material use- ful to their own classes.
The Lamson School Christmas pageant was unusually fine. Teachers, pupils and parents are to be congratulated for the splendid spirit of coopera- tion which was shown at all rehearsals and at the final performance.
The Victory Corps has been active in keeping up correspondence with the boys in service. The Corps also sponsored a Christmas package drive for boys in the armed forces. The pupils and faculty prepared and sent over 100 Christ- mas packages to every boy beginning with the class of 1936 who is in the United States armed forces. The Corps also purchased the Minute Man flag which flies every month that the school has a ninety per cent participation in war savings stamp sales.
The assembly program is being reorganized under the cooperative direc- tion of the student council and faculty representatives.
The revival of athletics at the high school and the reopening of the shop has had a most healthful effect on the morale of the high school.
The student council and club program are cooperative projects in which the teacher remains a vital source of advice and sponsorship. The strongest argu- ment for the student council is that it produces a higher type of citizenship by providing the students with an opportunity to follow the principles of democracy. Students become impressed by the similarity of school experience and life experience.
In closing my report it is a pleasure to announce that our high school continues to hold its class A rating and that students with high scholastic ratings may enter any of the colleges on the New England College Entrance Certificate List without examination. This privilege is also granted us by many other colleges throughout the country. I am also happy that after operating two and one-half years as an independent unit your school system has been highly commended by a representative of the state department of education who recently spent a whole day inspecting our schools. Points in our program receiving special mention were: our plans for developing quali- ties of leadership, initiative, self-control and self-direction through student
11
participation in student council, club activities and through the school lunch program; our interest in and plans for professional improvement of teachers ; our understanding of and interest in developing an adequate guidance program and our ability to relate the curriculum to individual needs; the happy and well controlled relationship between pupils and teachers, as well as the busi- nesslike manner in which the students conducted themselves was particularly commended.
Through this report I would like to invite parents and all interested townspeople to visit our schools to become acquainted with the teachers and to see for themselves the work that we are doing.
Respectfully submitted, RAYMOND C. WASS, Superintendent of Schools.

Pupils entering school in September must have been at least five years of age on March 1st preceding entrance in September.
Vaccination
Children who have not been vaccinated will not be admitted to school in September unless they present a certificate from a regular practicing physi- cian stating that they are not fit subjects for vaccination. Parents are re- quested to attend to this matter during the summer vacation, as certificates of vaccination or exemption must be presented at the opening of school to en- title children to admission.
No-School Signal
Radio broadcast over WNAC of Yankee Network and Salem WESX be- tween 7:30 and 8:00 a. m., if there is no school for the day.
22-22 repeated at 7:45 a. m. over the local fire alarm means that there will be no school for the day.
Obviously we cannot blow the no-school signal for every storm. Parents may reserve the right to keep their children home in stormy weather if in their own judgment they feel that the weather is too severe for their children.
