AGE OF ADMISSION
No child will be admitted to the first grade at the opening of school in September, who was not five years of age on or before the first day of April preceding his entrance.
Exception : Pupils not five years of age by April first will be admit- ted provided that they pass an intelligence examination showing a mental ability of five years and five months. Parents are to make ap- plication to the School Committee for admittance of said pupils prior to August twentieth.
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
Children who have not yet been vaccinated will not be admitted to school in September unless they present a certificate from a regular practising physician, stating that they are not fit subjects for vaccina- tion. Parents are requested to attend to this matter during the sum- mer vacation, as certificates of vaccination or exemption must be pre- sented at the opening of school to entitle children to admission.

REPORT F SCHOOL COMMITTEE
REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON SCHOOL HOUSING
The undersigned committee, appointed by the moderator as instruct- ed by vote of the Town at the Town Meeting in March, 1931, after care- fully considering the various questions entrusted to it by the Town sub- mits the following report:
PRESENT BUILDINGS.
South School. Originally constructed as a two-room building some 60 years ago; two rooms added in 1913, one of which in the Fall of 1931 was divided into two rooms. Of these five rooms three are located on the first floor and two on the second floor.
Centre School. Originally constructed as a two-room building in 1902; two rooms added in 1919. All four rooms are on the first floor. Both buildings serve only for the elementary grades 1 to 8. High School. As is of course well known, the Town does not main- tain a high school. Practically all the children in the Town attend the Wakefield high school; three or four are students at high schools in cther places.
CONDITION OF PRESENT BUILDINGS.
The Centre School is in good condition. The lighting, heating and ventilation are all adequate, and the building can readily be enlarged by the addition of wings, if occasion requires. The Centre School is located in the centre of a large lot of land and there is sufficient play- ground room for school purposes.
The South School is generally unsatisfactory. It is shaded in front by trees. Its lighting and ventilation is by no means modern. While an addition could be made to the building, in view of the type of the building itself, its location, and the size and general character of the school lot, it would, in the opinion of the committee, be unwise to build an addition to this school house. The playground facilities are cramped and about one-half the lot is unusable unless considerable expenditure is made for filling.
NUMBER OF PUPILS.
At the present time there are in the South School 119 children; at the Center School 120 children. They are divided as follows:
South School

TOWN OF LYNNFIELD
The committee has been unable to ascertain the number of children below school age at the time of opening schools in 1931. It has been informed, however, that in 1930 there were 116 children in the Town un- der 5 years of age.
CAPACITY OF BUILDINGS.
Centre School. Although each of the rooms at the Centre School can, if necessary, accommodate approximately 40 children, giving a maximum capacity of 160, the committee is of the opinion that the rooms should not be used to their capacity so long as each teacher must, as at the present time, handle two grades. Such condition could, of course, be permitted to exist for a short period if it appeared clear that it would not continue or was only for such length of time as might be necessary to provide additional necessary school accommodations.
South School. This school can accommodate as a maximum 160 children, but, as in the case of the Centre School, so long as a teacher must handle two grades, for the best interests of the children, the rooms should not be used to their maximum capacity.
GROWTH OF SCHOOL POPULATION.
The following table will show the increase in number of children at- tending the town schools and attending high school each year from 1925 to and including 1931:

From these facts, it seems to the committee that it is time for the Town to begin to take steps to provide additional accommodations for our school children. Our grade schools are close to their capacity and we have no high school of our own, nor can we be certain that we can continue to send our children to high schools in other towns. Our townspeople will recall that two years ago the school committee was informed by the Wakefield school committee that our children would not be taken into the Wakefield high school after that year, and it was only after a considerable amount of work had been done that the Wakefield committee was willing to reconsider its action and agree to again take the children.
69
REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS.
The following solutions are offered:
1. Continue to send high school children out of town; enlarge the Centre School when necessary; and build a new six or eight room school at a new location to replace the South School ,selling the present South School and lot.
2. Continue to send high school children out of town; discontinue the use of both the Centre and the South schools, selling the properties; build a new grade school at some central location, of such capacity as will take care of the estimated requirements for grade school pupils at the present time and for the next twenty years.
3. Continue to use both the Centre and the South schools, and build a new school house at some central location, to be used as a com- bined junior and senior high school. Take the seventh and eighth grades from the Centre and South schools into the new building, there- by making available increased accommodation for the first six grades in those older buildings.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
The committee recommends that the Town adopt the third solution, that is, that a tract of land of sufficient size-at least 10 acres-be pur- chased in some central location, provided such land can be found which without too great an expense can be put into condition for school pur- poses and playground uses, and that a new building be erected thereon of substantially fireproof construction, built in accordance with the so- called unit system-that is, capable of enlargement as conditions de- mand and without unnecessary expense-of sufficient size to accommo- date our high school children and children in the seventh and eighth grades,-the building, of course, to be sufficiently large to take care of estimated growth in school population for the next twenty years.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS.
Although the committee recognizes the desirability of a new grade school building to replace the South School, the construction of such a school will not solve the problem at the Centre School, and if the con- struction of this building is to be undertaken it will be advisable at the same time to add at least one room to the Centre School. The cost of an elementary school, while not so great as that of a high school to accommodate the same number of pupils, nevertheless would be expen- sive, and the committee estimates that it would cost to build and equip a grade school of at least six rooms, without including the land, in the vicinity of $85,000.
If we are to look sufficiently far into the future, such a building should contain eight rooms and not six, which, of course, would add to the cost of construction and equipment.
70
TOWN OF LYNNFIELD
The committee estimates the cost of building and equipping an ad- ditional room at the Centre School to be about $12,000.
This solution would not, however, provide us assured high school facilities, and if, within a few years after construction of a new grade school, we should be compelled to furnish our own high school accom- modation, we should then be obliged, long before the grade school was paid for, to face the additional expense of new high school construc- tion. The construction of a junior-senior high school will remove the necessity for some time to come of an addition to the Centre School or of increased facilities at the South School and will definitely assure the Town of permanent high school facilities.
COST OF HIGH SCHOOL.
The committee is informed by the State Board of Education that the cost of building and equipping a high school of sufficient size to accommodate the present number of pupils, with the estimated increase for the next fifteen years, can be kept to about $100,000. The Town of Hamilton is now building a combined junior and senior high school which will accommodate approximately 250 children, and the committee is informed by the Superintendent of Schools that the cost of the build- ing and equipment will be about $128,000.
The committee estimates the cost of operating our own high school, including the necessary teachers, etc., would be approximately the same sum as Lynnfield is now paying to the cities and towns for high school instruction for our children. Of course, a major part of this expense is for the operation of the building and for teachers' salaries, which would not increase unless there was some material increase in the number of pupils. On the other hand, it should be kept in mind that establish- ing a junior-senior high school will result in an increase in school ex- penses necessitated by the operation of such system, and also there will undoubtedly be further expense as additional teachers are employed to take care of the pupils in the lower six grades. It is not fair, however, to attribute this increase in expense to establishment of a high school within the town. If a high school is not so established, it will, as has heretofore been pointed out, be necessary to provide additional accom- modations at both the Centre and the South Schools, and this will in- volve the hiring of additional teachers and the purchase of additional equipment, which will, to some extent if not entirely, offset the addition- al expense other than high school just referred to.
