REPORT of the HAMILTON SCHOOL COMMITTEE 1947
REPORT OF THE HAMILTON SCHOOL COMMITTEE
To the citizens of the town of Hamilton :
The school committee is pleased to submit the following report of its activities during 1947, and some of its plans for 1948.
In January, Mr. Ernest Stockwell submitted his resignation to the board of selectmen. At a joint meeting of the selectmen and the school board members, Mr. Gordon Love was appointed to fill the vacancy for the balance of Mr. Stockwell's unexpired term.
In the same month Mr. Elliott Hawke's resignation was received and accepted by the committee. Mr. Marshall Gero, recommended by Mr. Towne and with the approval of the school committee, took over the duties as shop instructor and teacher of related subjects.
After many years as head of the English department at the high school, Mrs. Laura Boyd submitted her resignation in October, to take effect January 1, 1948. The committee wishes to convey to her through this re- port, its deep appreciation of her many years of interest in and loyal service to the school department and the school children of Hamilton.
Miss Wilhelmina Ready's appointment as head of the English depart- ment to succeed Mrs. Boyd was unanimously approved by the school com- mittee at the December meeting.
At the annual town meeting in March 1947, generous increases were granted to all school employees retroactive to January 1, plus a blanket in- crease of two hundred dollars to all teachers beginning September 1st of the same year. Due to this action, the committee feels it was justified in not approving further salary increases in 1948.
In May of 1947 the committee advertised for bids for repairing and shingling the roof of the Jonathan Lamson School and received replies from six contractors. The contract was awarded to the Trask Roofing Company of Salem, the lowest bidder. This was a necessary major repair item and the committee is pleased to report that a very satisfactory job was done.
At the same time the committee also advertised for bids for painting the basement in the Jonathan Lamson School. Replies were received from three contractors and the contract was awarded to George Zolotos Company of Peabody, it being the lowest bidder. The committee considered this a much needed repair item and feel that it has added much to the appearance and the cleanliness of this part of the building.
At its June meeting the committee discussed the grave possibility of fire at the Jonathan Lamson School and decided to call in an expert to investigate the building for the purpose of submitting a report of his findings, together with suggestions on eliminating evident hazards exist- ing in the building. A representative of O'Brien, Russell Company in- spected the building and on the strength of his findings and recommenda- tions the committee will have an article in the town warrant of 1948 re-
3
4
questing an appropriation to cover the cost of the most needed equipment and alterations.
In September, the committee approved the addition of a part-time teacher to the teaching staff of the Jonathan Lamson School. Mrs. Mar- shall Gero was appointed to this position upon the recommendation of the superintendent. This was necessitated because of a large increase in the enrollment of the kindergarten class. Due to this heavy enrollment it is the opinion of the committee that two first grade teachers will be necessary at the beginning of the school year in September 1948, and have requested that provision be made for such in the new budget.
In October the contract for transportation of the school children was awarded to Welch and Lamson, Inc., it being the lowest bidder. Due to the increased number of children being transported, the new contract was made for the use of three busses instead of the usual two and beach wagons. The new contract became effective January 1, 1948 and is functioning in a most satisfactory manner.
The 1948 budget has been carefully considered and submitted to the finance and advisory board for its approval. Because of increased costs in materials, upkeep and salaries the operation cost of our schools will be greater than the 1947 figure. The major percentage of the increase this year is due to salary raises granted in 1947, higher transportation costs and the need for an extra elementary teacher.
The acceptance of this report, and your approval of the budget for 1948 is earnestly requested by the school committee. It is hoped that the present policy of progress in school affairs will again be supported by the townspeople.
Education is the most important business in the world today. In our schools are shaped and moulded the citizens of tomorrow. How success- fully they overcome the manifold problems which will face them in a changing and complex world depends, to a great degree, on the instruction and training we provide for them in the classrooms today.
The school committee extends its sincere appreciation to the various town departments, the superintendent, teachers, and citizens for the splen- did cooperation received throughout the year.

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the Hamilton School Committee :
I herewith submit my fourth annual report as superintendent of schools in Hamilton. Schools will be only as good as the public demands and is willing to support financially. In a final analysis, any program of education is a program of finance.
Education for all has been an approaching ideal for several years, and now it is here in an enlarged school enrollment of twenty-four million. Hamilton public schools must strive to make the lives of children richer and fuller with equal opportunity for each, according to his or her ability and achievement. With this philosophy in mind, and from the results of three years of testing, we found it necessary to revise the English course at the high school. In so doing, we tried to give the pupils a more prac- tical and functional preparation for life, as well as to prepare them for further education.
This year we have stressed safety more than ever before. Several safety films have been shown in both schools, and fire drills have been more numerous, with an attempt to develop more careful and serious attitudes. A unit of study on good driving has been added to the science classes of grades seven and eight.
The free equipment from the state commodity lunch program has aided much in the prompt and efficient serving of fine meals in both cafe- terias. It now includes two twenty quart mixers, two new gas ranges, two deep freeezers, and two electric dish washers.
May I quote from the Massachusetts School Superintendent's Policy Commission's statement dated November 1, 1947, "At this time there is a shortage of three hundred teachers in Massachusetts schools. This coupled with the great influx of many students has become an intolerable situation, one which will have far reaching effects on quality of instruc- tion and scholastic, social, and moral training of our citizens. Not only is there a teacher shortage, there is also a quality shortage. The results of a census of municipalities of our state show that many positions have been filled (temporarily, it is hoped) with unqualified persons. Inadequate pay is the basic reason for the lack of qualified teachers. The fact that a great number of teaching vacancies occur in the elementary schools where lower salary schedules prevail is proof of this. A far more dangerous sign is the dearth of outstanding young men and women entering our Teachers' Col- leges. Quality teacher shortage means eventual shortage of leadership." I feel there is no quality shortage in Hamilton. All our teachers are well qualified and do an excellent piece of work. We did not lose a single teacher last year and we hope this will continue. Under the present condi- tions, it is false economy and also very poor educational policy to consider inadequate salary schedules.

We have seen marked improvement in writing in both schools since the adoption of the Rinehart Handwriting System, and it is with regret, that it is being dropped as an economy measure.
Many towns are reporting larger enrollments in their elementary schools. Hamilton is faced with this problem which has necessitated the use of one more bus and will, undoubtedly, result in the procuring of an additional first grade teacher and in the continuation of an assistant in the kindergarten.
Hamilton is a most desirable community in which to live. Its natural growth will undoubtedly present more problems of expansion in education in the near future. These problems are to be expected. The quality and quantity of the youth of Hamilton warrant careful long range educational planning.
It has been a real task to keep within our budget this year. The fact that prices of commodities and services have continued to rise necessitates very rigid economy for the ensuing year. These problems which you have in your own home are just as acute in education.
In closing my report, again I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the members of the school committee, teachers, and citizens of Hamilton for their loyal support of education in the schools of Hamilton.
Respectfully submitted,
ELWIN F. TOWNE.
