REPORT OF CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS
To the Citizens of the Town of Lynnfield:
The Cemetery Commissioners report that all five town cemeteries have been given general care.
The area turned over through Government Relief projects at Forest Hill has been harrowed to keep the wild growth down, and a small sec- tion of it graded with loam to an established grade line. We feel that this sectional grading is most worthwhile as it improves the general appearance of the cemetery. The prospective lot owner is also much more favorably impressed.
The new area developed at Willow Cemetery has been seeded to grass. This section adds much to the appearance of the cemetery and it makes available a considerable number of good lots.
The tabulation of lots in Forest Hill and Willow Cemeteries has
61
REPORT OF LIBRARY TRUSTEES
been completed and recorded on index cards. The work was carried out under ERA and WPA projects at the minimum of expense to the town. The Commissioners and the Town now have a permanent record of lots and interments in both active cemeteries. Filing boxes have been provided for these cards and placed in the Town Hall vault for safe keeping.
Respectfully submitted,
LYNNFIELD CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS.
REPORT OF LIBRARY TRUSTEES
To the Citizens of the Town of Lynnfield:
During the past year the WPA Project on painting the interior of the main library was finished. The new roof made possible through an appropriation at the last town meeting is also completed.
We took enough money from our appropriation to give the exterior of the branch library a second coat of paint which was unfinished by the WPA Project.
We hope that our patrons have liked the type of books that we have bought this year and hope that anyone wishing a book will kindly leave the name of it with the librarian.
Respectfully submitted,
MALCOLM C. EATON,

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS To the School Committee, Dear Madam and Sirs:
My fourteenth annual report is herewith presented for consider- ation.
Our records show that the enrollment in December was :-
:
Center School 137
Town Hall
35
South School 89
Ninety-four pupils are enrolled in secondary schools and three are pursuing courses at trade schools.
Our total school enrollment of three hundred fifty-six is the same as of 1935.
TEACHERS
Miss Elizabeth Osborne has replaced Miss Lydia Whittemore who resigned to be married. Miss Grace A. Jenkins resigned to resume her duties as art supervisor in the Wakefield Schools. Mrs. Abbie Eaton was appointed to fill the position vacated by Miss Jenkins. Miss Ruth Moulton was secured to fill the position as physical training super- visor due to the resignation of Miss Eva L. Teague who accepted a position as physical training instructor for girls at Beverly High School. With this small change in our teaching force we have been able to make steady progress in methods of instruction, With but few excep-
68
TOWN OF LYNNFIELD
tions pupils are taught, under our organization, by the same teacher for a period of two years which I believe is of more value to the pupil than under a system where the pupil has a new teacher each year.
SALARIES
A recent bulletin of the State Department of Education on Salaries of Teachers in the Public Day Schools of Massachusetts - 1936 shows that Lynnfield holds thirteenth place in the average salary list for Group IV-Towns of less than 5,000 population and not maintaining high schools. There are one hundred twenty-three towns in Group IV, with Lynnfield ranking thirteenth from the top with an average salary of $1,316. I believe we have a most creditable record. Raising salaries of teachers in the lower brackets to a point commensurate with services rendered will soon place our salary list near the top of that for the Group IV towns.
SECONDARY SCHOOL PUPILS
Through close co-operation with principals of high schools and trade schools it is possible to know what progress our tuition pupils are making in the several schools in which enrolled.
Copies of all ranks issued are submitted to me for examination. These show that our pupils are receiving far fewer marks below passing grade than was the case a few years ago. Pupils are better prepared when they graduate from our schools; they are choosing schools and courses more wisely and they are, generally speaking, attaining the most possible from the opportunities offered.
The Wakefield High School Honor Roll for the several terms of the past school year shows that our pupils received "High Honors" once, "Honors" thirty-three times and "Honorable Mention" seventeen times.
The Honor Roll for the year 1935 - 1936 lists the following Lynn- field pupils "High Honors"-Marjorie Falls; "Honors"-Alice Coldwell, Virginia Lambert, Howard Bezanson, Norma Dewing, Adam Herron.
Reports from many sources assure me that our pupils at private schools and colleges are making most satisfactory progress and in several cases have won scholastic distinction.
CLINICS
Through the desire of Mr. John Bedell of Lynnfield to be of serv- ice to the town he offered to give his services for the examination of the eyes of pupils. This examination now being made supplements that given by the school nurse. This will be of much value in detecting, through equipment used and knowledge of the eyes, types of eye weak- nesses which should be corrected if the pupil is to do his school work without being subjected to too great an eye strain. The number of cases of serious type where pupils are not already under the care of an optician,
69
REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
or oculist is small. These cases are few and should not be overlooked by parents upon receipt of a notification of eye defects found.
The dental clinic so successfully conducted in the past year by Dr. Edmund Tobin will be continued this year with Dr. Albert Roach in charge. It is our purpose in this clinic to examine the teeth of all children and offer them the opportunity of having necessary work done at school at clinic rates in case they do not wish to patronize their family dentist.
SPELLING
The "Word Lists" used in the schools for the past several years have been replaced by providing "My Word Book" for use in grades two to six inclusive. Doubtless the words and numbers of same may not greatly differ from those found in the "Word Lists", however, there is found in the new text a great variety of learning exercises. Each exercise is given for a distinct purpose and the text cannot be used without carrying out the work as outlined.
The texts are most interesting to the pupils because of the variety of methods used, the frequent tests, the opportunity provided for mastering difficult words and the chart for recording progress.
By the adoption of these texts for school use we have raised spelling out of the "drudgery" classification and placed it on the "opportunity" shelf. Although the text has been in use but a short time I predict results obtained in spelling will show a decided improvement in due time.
ARITHMETIC
The Buckingham-Osborn texts used in grades three to six in- clusive have been replaced by the adoption of the Iroquois Arithmetics. These texts are based on the leading investigations into arithmetic content and method. The language of the texts is fitted to the pupil's stage of development. The method of introducing new processes is through a concrete situation of interest to the child. Drill, problems, and problem study, reviews and tests are all given at the proper time and in sufficient quantity to develop necessary mathematical ability.
Teachers endorse the texts most heartily stating that "they are the best texts I ever used in Arithmetic".
HORACE MANN CENTENNIAL OBSERVANCE
It is most fitting that due recognition be given this year through the public schools and all affiliated organizations in suitably observing the one hundredth anniversary of Horace Mann's assuming the position as first Secretary of the Massachusetts Board of Education.
The schools of Lynnfield will devote the necessary time to the
70
TOWN OF LYNNFIELD
study of the life of Horace Mann and to the state school system which he became a power in founding. It is anticipated that public exercises will be held as a fitting climax to the work carried out in the schools.
In conclusion may I express to the teachers, supervisors, school committee and citizens of the town my appreciation for their support in making it possible for the pupils of Lynnfield to enjoy the fullest possible educational advantages.
Respectfully submitted, JOHN D. WHITTIER.
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE, 1936
Regular monthly meetings have been held with full attendance of members and the Superintendent of Schools.
We have been able to do some maintenance work from our regular appropriation, but had to put off the painting of the South School until a later date.
This year it will be necessary to reroof the Center School as the roof is in bad shape, and an article will be in the Town Warrant at the annual town meeting for this purpose. Our school population in the grade schools has increased rapidly especially in the Center School, and it will be necessary to have additional rooms in this building and one new teacher in order to adequately take care of this serious situation. An article in the annual warrant will suggest a building committee to be chosen to present plans for an addition to the Center School. Our high school enrollment has not increased to any great extent, but will be somewhat larger in 1937 - 1938 than at present.
Our method of departmental teaching in the seventh and eighth grade still shows the benefits of this specialized training.
We have been able this year to have the service of an eye specialist who has examined the pupils in all grades and corrections have been made along this line.
At Wakefield High School by elimination of the eighth grade from their high school it has relieved the crowded condition in some respects, but has not as yet fully remedied some of the features which handicap our pupils as to overtime and general study supervision. At Wakefield they still have large classes and small opportunity for individual attention to students.
