This shows a decrease of eight pupils in grades, but an increase of twelve in high school, during the last year.


There is every indication to believe that we may expect a slight increase in enrollment from year to year. The classrooms, with but one or two exceptions, will accommodate a few more pupils.


TEACHERS


The success of a system is largely dependent upon the corps of teachers employed. They must be well trained, professionally inter- ested and paid a salary which will induce them to give a long period of service where their work assures them of successive re-elections. It has been necessary to fill but one vacancy in our system during the past year. Our school system as a whole has greatly profited through the retention of a most satisfactory corps of teachers.


READING


The Aldine System of Reading has been used several years as the basal system.


Doubtless at the time this system was adopted it was one of the most up-to-date. Results obtained throughout the use of this system have been most satisfactory, but students of educational method and material are ever finding new methods and material to supplement and replace the old.


Our teachers, who have been taking courses, realized that the old system did not provide the latest methods and materials to accomplish the desired results. They were provided with sets of readers by several publishers who also sent demonstrators to emphasize the content and methods as brought out in the particular basal system.


After due consideration the Child-Story Reading System was chosen as the one which most nearly filled the requirements for content, . methods and material.


All materials, including supplementary, have been purchased for carrying out the work as outlined through the fourth grade. The methods Demonstrator, representing the publishers of the texts, has al- ready met with teachers of grades one and two for two conferences and will doubtless hold another conference during the year.


Teachers are most enthusiastic about results in reading thus far obtained with those pupils who entered school in September. We have every reason to believe that no mistake has been made in adopting this as our basal system.

PENMANSHIP


It has been my opinion, as well as that of many others including the teachers, that we were not obtaining satisfactory results in penman- ship. Teachers complained that the system used did not have methods sufficient to guide them, that there were no standards for their guidance and as a consequence they did not feel that they were obtaining even reasonably satisfactory results.


After an exhaustive study of five different systems of penmanship it seemed that the Zaner-Bloser System of Correlated Handwriting would most satisfactorily meet our needs for the following reasons:


1. Because it furnishes a series of carefully graded writing books for the pupils together with a corresponding series of manuals for teachers.


2. Because these books encourage free flowing arm movement which can be obtained by every pupil.


3. Because there are certain definite standards for every grade em- phasizing slant, spacing, alignment, quality, and formation.


4. Because it would be possible to secure the services of a super- visor of penmanship, teaching this system, to instruct the teach- ers. .


5. Because there are Certificates of Award to be presented to the pupils as they reach desired goals.


Through the generosity of Miss Olive Adams, Supervisor of Penman- ship in the Beverly Public Schools, it has been possible to provide all teachers with a graded outline definitely outlining the work by months for the several grades.


Results desired will be attained only as pupils in lower grades advance to the upper grades meeting the several standards. However, it is fully expected that pupils in the intermediate and upper grades will show a fair degree of improvement in penmanship, even though not hav- ing had the advantages of this system in their early years of schooling.


ARITHMETIC


To supplement the text in Arithmetic, which is for teachers' use only of grades one and two, there has been prepared and placed in the hands of these teachers an outline of work required by months in these two grades. . With the use of this outline it will be possible for teachers to plan their work more methodically and promote pupils to the third grade better prepared to carry on the work of the texts used in this grade and thereafter.


SAFETY


No system of education from the kindergarten to the graduate school can long exist which is content to follow the old requirements and not give thought or consideration to progress as it affects society at large.


REPORT


OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE 49


Probably no one development in this generation has affected civil- ization more than has the development of motor driven vehicles. Busi- ness has been developed and extended, social life has been broadened, travel has been increased and the home which was once thought of as contained within four walls is now largely on four wheels.


With this change so rapidly brought about by the development of motor vehicles, has come the necessity of adding another subject to the curriculum or of making it an integral part of some other subject. This subject has to do especially with rights of self and others when using the public highways. That streets and highways may be safe for those using the same His Excellency, Governor Frank G. Allen, has requested that a committee on Street and Highway Safety be organized in every town and city in the Commonwealth.


The committee organized in Lynnfield, as in other towns and cities, looks to the schools to do constructive work in safety education for the purpose of decreasing the number of injuries and deaths due to motor vehicle accidents. When we realize that approximately one-third of all fatal accidents on highways are of school children it behooves those administering the work of the schools to give safety education its right- ful share of attention.


To assist the Lynnfield Committee on Street and Highway Safety it is our purpose to stress the following "General Objectives of Safety Ed- ucation" prepared and distributed by the State Department of Educa- tion.


I. To give children an understanding of situations involving haz- ard that their behavior in these situations may be intelligent.


II. To develop habits of conduct which will enable children to meet the situations of daily life without accident.


III. To develop habits of conduct which will function in difficult situations and in times of crisis.


IV. To develop a generation characterized by habits of carefulness.


V. To develop skill in control of bodily movement.


VI. To create right attitudes including:


A. Respect for law and officers of the law.


B. Willingness to assume responsibility for the safety of self and others.


C. Willingness to co-operate in organized efforts to secure safety.


D. Interest in the social significance of safety.


VII. To eliminate all preventable accidents.


OFFICE HOURS


For the convenience of those desiring to confer with me may I state that office hours are held on the first Wednesday of the month where I may be interviewed at the Center School from 10-12 a. m., and at the


50


TOWN OF LYNNFIELD


South School 2-4 p. m. Those desiring to see me at other times should make the appointment with the principals of the buildings.


In concluding this report I wish to express my appreciation to all those who have helped make the past year one of pleasure and profit to the boys and girls of Lynnfield.


Respectfully submitted,


JOHN D. WHITTIER, Superintendent of Schools.


January 14, 1930.


REPORT OF THE SCHOOL NURSE


To the Superintendent of Schools:


Dear Sir: I herewith submit my fifth annual report as School Nurse for the Town of Lynnfield.


The school work consists of general weekly inspection for cleanli- ness, clerical work, weighing and measuring, home visits, first aid, clinics, simple dressings and follow-up work for defects.


PHYSICAL EXAMINATION


During September and October a physical examination was given by the School Physician, Dr. F. W. Freeman. The result of this ex- amination is as follows:


Underweights Tonsils Teeth Posture Heart


Glands


31 41

HEALTH DAY


In May of each year, a day is given over to a general survey of the health of the school children. Simple health plays are given and tags are awarded to all children having good posture, normal weight and to those having perfect teeth with a dental certificate from the family dentist. The State Department of Public Health furnishes the tags, the tags being red, white and blue. Red is for normal weight, white for perfect teeth, and blue for posture. The number of children awarded tags last May is as follows:

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE


IMMUNIZATION


I hope we will soon be able to have all the children attending the schools of Lynnfield immunized against diphtheria. This treatment can be given with very little cost, and will protect our children against diphtheria.


CONTAGIOUS OR COMMUNICABLE DISEASES


We have been very fortunate this year in regard to diseases. Dur- ing the past year we have not had a communicable or contagious disease reported from either the South or Center School.


PEDICULOSIS


During the year there have been about seven cases of Pediculosis (head lice). All children affected were excluded from school for treat- ment.


Results of Eye and Ear test are as follows:


Defective eyes, 10. Defective ears, 4.


Parents who had children found with any defects were notified of same.

It is interesting to note the progress being made in regard to the health of the school children. This is largely to do with the splendid co-operation of the physician, superintendent, principals, teachers and parents.


In closing I wish to thank all who helped to make my year's work successful.
