Grading of Pupils
Standard tests and measurements have been given which show that the majority of the pupils are placed in the grade where they can do the best work. Many pupils are however from three months to a half year behind their grade. By keeping the individual needs of
46
pupils before them teachers will endeavor to bring such pupils up to the minimum standard. The only just method of grading is the plac- ing of individual children in the grade where they can best do the work. If it is found pupils cannot with understanding do the work of the grade in which they are placed the only fair treatment is to put them back and give them more time in the grade below. Other pupils may progress more rapidly and should not he held a year in a grade when less time is required for an understanding of the work. The system of grading must provide for the individual the amount of time he may need for a given amount of work be it a half year, a year or a year and a half. The tests we are using as measurements have be- come standardized. They are; The National Intelligence Tests, The Monroe Silent Reading Tests, The McCall-Woody Arithmetic Tests, The Dearborn-Peet Progress Tests in Arithmetic, The Trabue Lang- uage Scales, The Iowa Spelling Tests and the Thorndike Penmanship scale.
Physical Education
Complying with the law passed by the last legislature, and fol- lowing the lead of the larger towns and cities around us, a nurse for each school has been employed and Health or Physical Education add- ed to the school program.
Since September every child has had a physical examination by the school nurse. The examination showed the following conditions :
Center
South
No. of children examined
82
105
No. having defective teeth
38
28
No. having defective hearing
5
0
No. having enlarged tonsils or adnoids
21
37
No. underweight
7
14
The most noticeable defects were adnoids, stooped-shoulders, "hol- low chest", and underweight or malnutrician. The schools nurses visit the schools every week. They give health instruction, examine the children, and make many home calls for conference with parents as to the health of their children.
Conclusion
As in previous years the Parent-Teacher Association has done much for the South School and I wish to thank them for their great interest which is much appreciated. Through their efforts and the courtesy of Mr. Fraser, of the Lynn Gas & Electric Company, a gas range has been installed in the South School and hot cocoa or soup is served at noon to the pupils who bring their lunch. They have also furnished the school with a new football.
47
The work of the school nurse at the South School in measuring" and weighing the children has been greatly aided by the purchase of scales by this Association.
The hearty cooperation of the teachers and the school committee and the active interest of the parents has made the work of the superintendent in Lynnfield most enjoyable.
