Report of South School Building Committee


TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SELECTMEN :


Gentlemen : - Your committee appointed to supervize the construction of the South School Building, have completed their task or duties and desire to make the following report. and recommendations :


The contracts having been signed and awarded by a major- ity of the original committee the only duties of your committee were to see them properly executed which they have done to the best of their ability. We have incurred no expense but as the contracts as awarded called for a sum slightly in excess of the amount of money appropriated by the Town, there remains a balance due the firm of Wheeler and Bettou, Architects, and we would recommend that you take such action at the next annual Town meeting as to insure the payment of their claim.


Respectfully submitted,


F. W. FREEMAN,

School Department


Report of School Committee


TO THE CITIZENS OF LYNNFIELD :


Herewith is respectfully submitted a brief report covering eleven months ending December 31, 1914.


With the opening of the school year in September two new teachers began their duties at the South School-Miss Pitts as principal and Miss Littlefield as teacher of the intermediate grades. We are glad to report that their work is satisfactory.


In September sixteen pupils from Lynnfield entered the first year in high school. This was probably the largest num- ber of freshman pupils ever sent from this town and will add considerably to the expense of high school tuition. It is also expected that a relatively large number will enter high school next September.


New transportation routes, referred to in our last report, covering the Pillings Pond section and the more remote points . on Main street towards Wakefield, were opened in May. Judging from the expressions of both parents and children, this new service is much appreciated. Students' street car tickets have also been provided for certain pupils in the South part of the Town whose homes are not located within convenient walk- ing distance of the school.


In regard to the school buildings and grounds, it is most urgent that a new water supply be provided during the coming summer for the South School. When the building was remod- eled a well was driven, but its yield has proved entirely inad- equate and water therefrom has been officially condemned and its use for drinking purposes forbidden. The supply from this source is so small that, in the operation of pumping, less water than air comes from the pipe, necessitating more frequent


48


and continuous running of the electric pump, with the con- sequent wear and tear thereon and waste of electricity. The State Board of Health has indicated a location on the school lot where possibly water of good quality can be obtained. For the purpose of digging this well and connecting it with the school building we ask you to appropriate the sum of $500.


It is also desirable that the South School lot be graded as soon as possible both on account of drainage and for the pur- pose given in the report of the Superintendent. This need, however, is entirely secondary to the necessity of providing a new water supply.


To cover the regular school expenses for the ensuing year, together with one year's interest on the South School notes, we ask that you appropriate the sum of $6800, and the unexpended balance to the credit of this department as shown December 31, 1914.


For details concerning the work of the teaching staff we refer you to the reports of the Superintendent and Supervisors.


This report would not be complete without a word con- cerning Albert F. Southworth, in the passing of whom the School Department lost a valuable man. For several years he filled the office of janitor of the Centre School loyally, effi- ciently and honorably. We appreciate the loss not only to the School Department but to the entire community, and sym- pathize with his family.

Superintendent's Report


TO THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE :


Madam and Gentlemen-I have the honor to present here- with my third annual report of the Lynnfield School Depart- ment.


It seems wise at this time to divide the report in two parts and speak of (a) present conditions and (b) future needs.


PRESENT CONDITIONS


With no thought at all of casting reflections upon the many good things that have been done in the past, I must say that all conditions at present give promise of most satisfactory and successful schools this year. All concerned and especially the teachers, are heartily cooperating with one another and with the school officials, in an effort to give the children the best training, and at the same time pleasure in their work, a factor of great value in securing the best results.


The interest that the people of Lynnfield always take in the schools, as shown by the excellent buildings and generous appropriations, is another large factor in making the school of the greatest possible value to the children.


Four of the five regular teachers are Normal trained and have had successful experience in other places, while the fifth has had college training with equally successful experience. Only by paying comparatively good salaries can we secure and hope to retain in the schools, teachers of such training and experience.


The work of the music and drawing teachers need no com- ment of mine. Their long service in the schools has demon- strated beyond a doubt that they are the right persons for the positions they hold.


It is a pleasure to add a good word for the efficient work


-


50


of the janitors. These positions are very important in consid- ering the health, comfort and efficiency of the work of the teachers and children.


The new teachers at the South School for the present school year are Miss Edith M. Pitts of Kennebunk, Maine, principal, and Miss Helen M. Littlefield of Wameset, Mass., teacher of grades three, four and five.


A change in the grades for this year at the South School gives the primary teacher only the first two, which makes it possible to give the children of these grades a much better foundation for their later work. With this arrangement no teacher has over 30 pupils and the result is much more time for individual work with the children.


It is, indeed, encouraging to note so many conditions that must make for progress and efficiency for the schools.


FUTURE NEEDS


An urgent need at the present time is that the grounds at the South school be graded and put in condition so that the land recently acquired may be used by the children as a play- ground. Organized play is one of the greatest helps in the general discipline of the school. It helps the teachers to get in touch with activities outside the school room and fosters the spirit of cooperation so essential in all school work.


It is very necessary for the best interests of the school that the town make provision for this work to be done at an early date.


In my last report I called attention to the very distinct advantages of having in the schools some of the so-called "Practical Arts." In the Centre Primary a great deal of work is being done along these lines. Some work of the kind is also done in the South Primary and some beginning is being made in all the upper grades. The need, however, is for a small equipment for the boys in the upper grades, such as tools, benches, etc. Experience shows conclusively that all time spent in this work is valuable in making more effective and effi- cient all the other work of the school.


51


Reference to last year's report will show some of the lines along which this work may be carried on. A beginning has been made and we hope to show some good results in the near future. To make their needs in this direction definite, I would recommend that the sum of $50 be appropriated for the ad- vancement of the work in "Practical Arts."


Following are the reports of the special teachers of music and drawing which are offered as a part of this report.


In closing, I wish to express my highest appreciation for the help received from the school committee and for the co- operation of the teachers and all connected with the schools, either directly or indirectly.


Respectfully submitted, HARVEY R. WILLIAMS, Superintendent of Schools.


January 18, 1915.


MR. H. R. WILLIAMS,


Supt. of Schools, Lynnfield, Mass.


Dear Sir-The music in the Lynnfield schools has main- tained its usual satisfactory standard, and the progress has been marked.


The teachers have taught with enthusiasm and thoughtful- ness : the pupils have eagerly looked forward to the music period and enjoyed it to the fullest extent.


It is a matter of great interest that the teachers have become so impressed with the good results of individual work, and it maintains an important place in the daily lesson.


1


Too much stress cannot be placed on rapid sight reading, and every means should be employed to cultivate it.


It is very necessary that a generous amount of time be


52


devoted to so important a subject as music.


One superintendent has said : "I believe there is no course of study for primary and grammar grades so full that it cannot give twenty minutes or more a day for systematic music study, and with the right kind of teaching and the co-operation of superintendents, principals and the boards of education, we may bring music up to an unusually high standard ; also, by teaching the children to love and appreciate good music, and to know and to sing the works of the great masters, we shall uplift . the moral, spiritual and artistic life of the nation and help de- velop a greater musical America."


Respectfully submitted,


GEO. E. WALES, Supervisor of Music.


Lexington, Mass., Jan. 18, 1915.


Mr. H. R. WILLIAMS,


Superintendent of Schools.


Dear Sir :- Herewith I submit my fifth annual report as supervisor of drawing for the Town of Lynnfield.


In general the plan of work has been much along the same lines as last year, but although the principles involved have been the same many of the projects were different.


Drawing is not simply learning to use the pencil or brush but it also teaches the construction and decoration of articles of use and beauty. This correlates the brain and hand work and necessitates much planning and careful thinking on the part of the pupils. Toward this end we constructed candle shades in the upper grades. The pupils just made a working drawing of a truncated cone and from that worked out the development which served as as pattern for their candle shade.


53


Then each one made a design which he applied to the shade. The results were very attractive and useful articles for the home and I feel sure that the children gained much from this problem as it brought in not only measuring, construction and design but necessitated a good deal of careful planning and thinking.


The same kind of work was carried on in the lower grades in other and simpler ways suited to their needs. The youngest children are taught paper folding, cutting and pasting, making many interesting things. At the Centre School they have a doll house for which they have made furniture, wall paper, rugs and other things with suggestions and help from the teachers.


While studying design we planned to make something which was also of use. At the Centre School we designed sofa cushions while at the South School we made table runners both of which projects created much interest.


In the Intermediate grades at the South School we corre- lated with geography by cutting from paper harbors, bays, pen- insulas, islands, etc., and pasting them to represent these forma- tions of land and water. Such work fixes new terms in the child's mind as nothing else can.


The added time given at the South School is a great im- provement and I feel sure that we are doing better work be- cause of it.


Respectfully submitted,
