GROUP IV : Master's degree from recognized college or university.


GROUP V : Master's degree plus sixteen hours credit in courses approved in advance by superintendent; such credits to be filed in the superintendent's office directly from the college.


Additional Requirements


1. Teaching service must be satisfactory to the superintendent and school committee.


2. Principals : additional $200 per annum.


3. Regular part-time teaching that fractional part, in accordance with the schedule.


4. Regular $100 increments to be paid annually in each step upon receipt from the college, by the superintendent, credits for courses taken; such courses to have been approved by the superintendent in advance.


During each step, two credits must be attained for promotion to the next step and its annual increment.


5. No teacher's pay to be lowered by inactment of this schedule.


GROUP


5


6. Experienced appointees to receive up to four years' credit for pre- vious work and such exception to this rule as recommended by the super- intendent and approved by the school committee.


". Sick leave accumulation : Fifteen days sick leave allowed per year up to a maximum accumulation of sixty days, but not more than thirty days accumulation is available until the fourth year. for all full- time teachers. Part-time teachers accumulate on a proportional basis.


8. This schedule and increments to become operative at the begin- ning of each school year.


9. This is a single basic salary schedule. Pay is based on teaching assignments, educational training and experience, with no discrimination between men and women teachers.


In spite of the adoption of this schedule the services of several valu- able teachers were lost to the schools. We were fortunate, however. in ob- taining satisfactory replacements for these vacancies and we believe a high standard of instruction has generally been maintained.


Steps were taken, following the appropriation of $5.000 at the annual town meeting. to improve the facilities of the Jonathan Lamson school insofar as the safety of the children was concerned. A contract was award- ed to Finlay MacDonald as low bidder to replace a faulty exit door with one which would operate properly, construct an outside exit in the cafe- teria, and install an additional inside exit to stairways from the cafeteria. Likewise, Grinnell Company, as low bidder, was awarded the contract to install a sprinkler system throughout the basement of this building and to O. Menici of Peabody, as low bidder, the contract for the installation of a 6" water main from Rust Street to the school to provide the water supply for the sprinkler system.


Lack of sufficient space to provide for the increased pupil enrollment constitutes a problem which must be met and solved in the immediate future. The establishment of a kindergarten and the additional first grade group has used all available space in the Jonathan Lamson School. Indi- cations are that September 1949 will see as large a group registered for the first grade as was the case in 1948 and this will necessitate. as an emerg- ency measure. the transfer of a grade to the high school. This move can only be considered a temporary make-shift as it is definitely poor school practice to place grammar school pupils in the same building with the junior-senior high school group, as well as creating a crowded condition at the high school. Your support is earnestly solicited for the article in this warrant calling for the immediate creation of a representative com- mittee to study this school building matter and report back specific recom- mendations for action at the 1950 annual town meeting.


Your approval of the committee's budget is also requested. This has been kept to a minimum, in the committee's opinion, consistent with the operation of a satisfactory school system. The increases in salary result- ing from the adoption of a schedule for "other employees" is reflected in this budget as well as the added cost of the "Equal Pay for Teachers" salary schedule previously referred to.


6


The committee wishes to express its appreciation to the various town departments, superintendent, teachers, clerk and many citizens for the cooperation received throughout the past year and to extend its congratu- lations and best wishes to the newly-formed Hamilton Parent-Teacher Association. Your schools have gained and will continue to do so through the cooperation and activities of this public spirited group.


Respectfully submitted,


G. GORDON LOVE, Chairman ALLAN MACCURRACH RICHARD PRESTON

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS


l'o the Hamilton School Committee :


I herewith submit my fifth annual report as superintendent of schools in Hamilton.


The past year was a very lean year for Hamilton schools. Our budget was inadequate to cover the rise in prices of school materials, equipment and services. To adopt equal pay, as voted by the town, even more drastic curtailments were imperative. Because the finance board could not trans- fer $1,128 to the school account, it was necessary to drop one teacher from the force and make many other adjustments. In order to recover from these curtailments, meet the challenge of a larger enrollment and cope with continuing high prices, it was necessary to ask for a larger budget than last year.


In spite of these hardships, our scholarship was maintained and im- proved. Factories are judged by the quality of their product and in like manner, schools are judged by the success of their graduates. Our gradu- ates who are in higher institutions of learning are making a fine showing, in fact we have several whose grades were not high enough to certify yet they are succeeding in college.


The small school with a good teaching force can give a great deal of indivdual help and develop a pupil who would not be recognized in the large school. With our small classes the good student can be kept up to high standards of work with personal supervision of a teacher.


Approximately fifty-three pupils will enter the kindergarten next fall. The large elementary classes are necessitating two teachers to each grade. Next September will see two second grade teachers and both schools crowded to capacity. The citizens of Hamilton should be giving some immediate and serious consideration to what they want for schools in the future and how much they are willing to pay for good schools. If a favorable vote is cast by the people of the town on a proposed school survey, every citizen in the town of Hamilton will have a chance to consider sev- eral possible solutions and will probably eventually be asked to vote for the one he favors.


This year, 18.6 million children are in the elementary schools. In 2 years, 20 million. In 4 years, 22 million. By 1957 26.6 million-8 mil- lion more than the 18.6 of now. Nearly half again as many as now . .. 8 years hence . .. not far off. New rooms or new schools should be planned for now. Next September will see all available rooms filled in both the Lamson School and the High School.


A motion to raise ten thousand dollars to maintain cafeterias in the Jonathan Lamson and High School will be put to the town meeting. All money received on account of sales in both cafeterias, together with any funds from federal or state government, are to be deposited or set up as a reserve, available for appropriation for the cafeterias in subsequent years instead of being applied to the town's emergency and deficiency fund.


11


The cafeteria receipts from sales plus our state assistance should balance or nearly balance this account every year. Under this plan every person in the town can tell at a glance just how much the town is paying for the support of the cafeterias. For example during 1948-26,189 lunches were served and 48,399 bottles of milk sold to pupils. Money received from pupils on the sale of lunches was $4,900.20 and for the sale of milk $2,287.57. Federal assistance for lunch and milk totaled $2,470., making a sum total of $9,657.77. Of the above, $4,900.20 was turned back to the town treasurer to be applied toward the appropriation for the year. The expenses for the year for both cafeterias included $3,120 for labor and $8,626.84 for food and milk, making a grand total of $11,746.84. In 1949 it is anticipated that labor will amount to $3500 and food and milk $6500 making a total of $10,000 for both cafeterias, of which receipts to this amount for sales of lunch and milk together with federal assistance will be turned back to the town.


The newly formed Parent Teacher Association has already given con- crete evidence of its helpfulness in school activities. Closer relationship between parent and teacher invariably makes for better schools. It is, in fact, the ideal situation, which is possible in a community the size of Hamilton. More parents are visiting the schools and are promoting many worthwhile school projects. We sincerely hope this organization will con- tinue to grow and prosper.


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 our schools.


Respectfully submitted,


ELWIN F. TOWNE

A report of all serious defects are reported to parents with the recom- mendation that they consult their family physician.


Diphtheria Protection


Most parents have taken advantage of the Clinics held in the School and Child Welfare Conference to have their children receive the treatment for the protection of Diphtheria.


A Clinic will be held shortly for those attending school not yet im- munized :


No. with no record 20


No. Immunized to date 413


Contagious and Communicable Diseases


This past year we have had far too many cases of communicable diseases among our school population.


1. Parents have been requested to keep their children at home with symptoms of the common cold.


2. All contagious and communicable diseases apparently start with what appears to be just a cold.


Number of communicable and contagious diseases reported to date of children attending schools:


Mumps 59 Whooping cough 13


Measles 6 Chicken pox 114


Ivy 21 Impetigo 1


Dogwood


12


The above figures are the number reported to schools.


13


I would suggest more health education be given to all the individual children attending school, stress being placed on methods used to prevent illness and how to avoid contact with various illnesses, diseases that can be controlled by immunization and inoculations, the proper health hygiene, regarding body cleanliness, appearance and proper dental care, etc.


Dental Program


All children from grades one to six attending the Jonathan Lamson School have the privilege of attending the Dental Clinic in charge of Dr. John King.

Vision


A general survey is being carried out again this year on eyes.


The program of Hot School lunches is still functioning effectively for the health of the school population, and continues to be administered with as much care and thought as in previous years.


Closing I wish to thank all who have contributed to the health and welfare of our schools.


Respectfully submitted,


FLORENCE L. STOBBART, R.N.

Children who have not been vaccinated will not be admitted to school in September unless they present a certificate from a regular practicing physician stating that they are not fit subjects for vaccination. Parents are requested to attend to this matter during the summer vacation, as certificates of vaccination or exemption must be presented at the opening of school to entitle children to admission.


NO-SCHOOL SIGNAL


Radio broadcast over WNAC of Yankee Network and Salem WESX between 7:30 and 8:00 a. m., if there is not school for the day.


22-22 at 7:30 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. Par- ents 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,
