The matter of school accommodations referred to in our last Annual Report is still unsettled. At the South School, owing to the increase in the number of children, we have been obliged to employ another teacher and to occupy an additional room. Fortunately for us all the room was available, although at some inconvenience to the Library and the Red Cross. We now have at the South School four teachers, each in a separate room. The increased effi- ciency of the teaching force and the benefit to the children can already be noticed, although in effect but a few weeks. In our opin- ion it is one of the greatest steps forward we could have made.
At the Center School conditions remain the same as last year. We are still using the hallway as a schoolroom, and were obliged to divide the fourth grade pupils, some sitting in the room with the first three grades and the others in the room with the last four grades. Subsequently, by crowding, we have moved the fourth grade pupils all into the grammar room. Such arrangements are obviously impracticable and should not be permitted. They are endured only because no better solution is available at this time. More room should be provided and that immediately, or the Com- mittee must decline to accept the responsibility for the results. With conditions as existing at the Center School proper training is absolutely impossible. To allow them to continue is grossly unfair not only to the teachers, but most of all to the children. We cannot expect teachers to get the best results under such circum- stances, nor can the children progress as they ought to. Such a state of affairs is resulting in a direct money loss to the town, as we are paying for something we do not and cannot receive under the circumstances. The only remedy in the opinion of the Com- mittee is in one of two ways, either by constructing a new building for the Center School pupils, or by making the necessary alter- ations in the existing school building. It does not seem that an extended argument is necessary to convince anyone of the impera- tive need of this action. If anyone doubts, we believe the best
47
answer is-"Go and see for yourself." We are aware that either of the alternatives we urge will be expensive, much more expensive than five years ago, perhaps more than at some time in the future, but certainly not more, all things considered, than in the immed- iate future. The need is now. It will not wait. Every year the present conditions exist means money and time wasted. More than that, the town is shirking its duty to the children. It is their right to have the present conditions changed as soon as possible.
In closing, let us urge you to consider this problem most care- fully and seriously, and then act. Look at it in the light of what you owe yourself and if you do, we believe you will agree with us that the work must not be put off another year, but must be start- ed at once. In our opinion, the most important thing the town can do at the Annual Meeting is to take action looking for increased accommodations at the Center School.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
To the School Committee:
Madam and Gentlemen:
I have the honor to present herewith my seventh annual re- port of the Lynnfield schools for consideration by your Committee and the citizens of the Town.
During the past year several elements have contributed to more or less unrest in, and general disturbance of the work of the schools.
The world war has led to conditions in the schools that will take some time to overcome.The influenza epidemic has caused considerable loss of time. The signing of the Armistice, ending the slaughter of human beings unparalleled in the world's history, with its wonderful outburst of joy, still further added to the in- terruption of the work. However, the two days' celebration of the signing of the Armistice was a wonderful event for the chil- dren as well as older people and the patriotic spirit aroused was well worth the few lessons lost in school.
At the present time the schools are getting down to good hard work. With the persistence shown by the teachers and a little extra effort on the part of the children we expect to complete a fair year's work by the end of June.
Teachers
With one notable exception, the teachers of the last year came. back at the opening of schools in September.
We regret to record as the exception, the resignation of Mrs. Florence Young who has for a long term of years been connected with the Center school. The faithful and conscientious work of Mrs. Young in this school needs no word of mine except to make record of the fact in this report. She was, indeed, the children's friend and all parents appreciated to the fullest extent the ser- vice she rendered to the school.
Miss Margaret Lamb, of Somerville, a graduate of the Salem Normal School was secured as teacher in Mrs. Young's place.
In the South School, conditions developed in the fall term
49
which made it very desirable to have a fourth teacher. The room having the third, fourth and fifth grades was crowded. It was not advisable to place the third grade in the primary room and the fifth grade could not be seated in the grammar school, nor was it thought wise to do this if there had been room, because of the time needed on the seventh and eighth grades to prepare them for high school.
So, after careful consideration of the situation the Committee decided that it was for the best advantage of all the children to secure an additional teacher. Some old seats were placed in one .side of the room used by the public library and the fifth and sixth grades were placed in this room in charge of Miss Ethel O'Donnell of Lynn, a graduate of Salem Normal with a year's experience.
The results obtained by this change have been even better than we expected.
In December at Christmas time Miss Titus left us to be mar- ried, and another very able teacher passed from the ranks of the teaching profession. While we regret our loss, we can extend our heartiest felicitations.
Miss O'Donnell has taken charge of the seventh and eighth grades temporarily and Miss Eliza Marsh of Lynn is substituting in grades five and six.
During the past two or three years the Lynnfield schools have had an exceptionally strong corps of teachers. Other places have tried to take some of our best but we have been able to hold them by a reasonable increase in salary a very wise policy on the part of the School Committee. It will be the gain of the schools, if the town continues to make this policy possible.
Thrift and Savings Stamps
Attention is here called to the figures given in the appendix on Thrift and Savings Stamps now owned by the children in the schools. Credit is due, not only to the children who have bought those stamps but to those who have encouraged and aided such investment.
Increased Registration at the Center
The Center grammar room is now full, having had additional seats placed in all available space. There are 30 children in the first three grades so that it is necessary to have the fourth grade seated in the grammar room.
50
The addition of a room to this building, a movement that has already been considered to some extent, would greatly increase the efficiency of the school and contribute very much to the comfort of the children and teachers.
In closing this report I would indeed seem ungrateful, if I did not express my appreciation for the cooperation and advice of the School Committee, for the loyalty and efficiency of the teachers, and not the least, the very helpful attitude of the children, the par- ents and the citizens of the town. Under these conditions it is certainly a pleasure to work for the betterment of the schools.
Respectfully submitted,
HARVEY R. WILLIAMS,
January 20, 1919.
Supt. of Schools.

Age of Admission
No child will be admitted to the first grade at the opening of schools in September who will not be five years of age by the first day of October.
Pupils are admitted to this grade only during the first two weeks of school in September unless they have attended school in some other town.
Vaccination
Attention is called to the requirements of the law in relation to vaccination of school children. Chap. 44, Section 6: "A child who has not been vaccinated shall not be admitted to a public school except upon presentation of a certificate granted for cause stated therein, signed by a regular practicing physician that he is not a fit subject for vaccination."
It is earnestly requested that parents attend to having their children vaccinated during the summer vacation so that they may be ready to enter school when it opens in September.
Account of Thrift and Savings Stamps
The record made by the children of Lynnfield in . purchasing Thrift and Savings Stamps deserves special mention in this re- port. Following are some figures that should be of interest to every one :.
