REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE


REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS To the School Committee,


Dear Madam and Sirs:


My sixteenth annual report is submitted for your consideration.


ENROLLMENT


The school enrollment in December was:


Center School


196


South School


88


High School


Wakefield


95


Lynn English


2


Pickering Junior High


9


Trade Schools


Medford


1


Boston Trade for Boys


1


Essex Agricultural School


5


397


The total enrollment is twenty-two larger than in 1937, and forty- seven larger than in 1936.


Our enrollment in the several secondary schools will doubtless be . increased from ten to fifteen per cent beginning next September, and according to our grade enrollment will materially increase each year.


This increase in enrollment is very noticeable in our item of the budget for high school tuition and transportation.


Two classrooms of two grades each at the Center School will be filled to capacity next September. Additional room will need to be pro- vided in the near future to care for the pupils and allow for a class- room to each of the larger grades.'


TEACHERS


Two resignations were received during the year. Miss Shirley Knight resigned to accept a position in Newbury and Miss Barbara Greenwood resigned to accept a position at Whitinsville.


To fill the above vacancies Miss Olive Moulson, who was teaching in Holden, was secured as teacher of grade one, and Miss Ella Schlen- ker who was graduated from Salem Teachers' College in June, was secured as teacher of grades five and six.


The small number of changes in our teaching force can be attrib- uted to the reasonable salaries paid, the working conditions provided and the splendid cooperation of committee members and citizens. Such factors are conducive to the best work on the part of teachers and reflect in the final results with pupils.


EXTENSION OF WORK


The work of the physical training instructor has been extended to


64


TOWN OF LYNNFIELD


include the teaching of health in all grades, and that of crafts to the boys of grades seven and eight.


Approximately twenty minutes daily is devoted to the physical train- ing work by the instructor or grade teacher. This work is done on the playgrounds whenever the weather is suitable, otherwise in the build- ing. At present much of the work in the lower grades is devoted to group games while in the upper grades they are taught bowling, ping pong, and basket ball. The boys of grades seven and eight were very successful last autumn playing six-man football which they organized and coached among themselves. They won a fair share of games when playing other teams.


It is my purpose to encourage our boys in competitive sports in so far as possible. Games within the system will occupy the major part of their interests, but they will be encouraged to compete with other teams in a limited number of games.


Sewing has been taught the girls for the past several years but not until this year have the boys had instruction in hand work. Thus far the work for boys has been largely devoted to leather, but will later be extended to include simple woodwork and possibly metal work, depending upon the equipment which can be provided.


The quality of hand work done by both boys and girls has been most satisfactory considering the limited equipment and the short time devoted to the work each week.


Our greatest improvement in the school system can be made by extending the opportunities for hand work with both boys and girls.


ATTENDANCE


Due to the lack of epidemics, the generally good physical condition of the children, and the desire of parents that their children be in attendance at school when school is in session our percentage of atten- dance has averaged approximately ninety-five per cent.


Our school physician, school nurse and teachers are all endeavor- ing to build up pride in pupils for perfect health, that they may not only have healthy bodies but that they may participate in all school activities. Rarely is it found necessary to send the attendance officer to a home for a pupil.


It is our purpose to make our schools sufficiently interesting to our pupils that they may not desire to be elsewhere when schools are in session and their playmates are at school.


RECORDS OF HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS


An examination of the rank cards of the several schools where our pupils are in attendance discloses the fact that each subject offered is studied by some pupil. Most pupils choose their course and the subjects for some very definite reason.


Doubtless a few anticipate choosing a snap course, but a very large percentage disregard the fact whether a course is easy or difficult. They


.


65


REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE


choose the course and the subjects which they consider will be of most value to themselves in securing employment after leaving high school or in pursuing further study.


A very careful study of all ranks of our one hundred thirteen pupils beyond the elementary schools shows that there is less than one subject failure to each four pupils; two pupils have failed in a total of five subjects; only three pupils have found it necessary to drop a subject since the beginning of the present school year.


One principal recently stated to me that the ranks of Lynnfield pupils attending his school were higher than that of any equal number, picked at random, from his own school system.


INTERNATIONAL PAGEANT


On May 27 there was held at the South School an International Pageant, prepared under the direction of the teachers and supervisors of Music, Art, and Physical Training. The pageant featured the songs and dances of the Dutch and Czechoslovakians, demonstrating to the parents and invited guests their interpretation of the dances of these countries. The regular Memorial Day exercises were held on the same day. It is anticipated that a similar pageant will be held at the Center School this year.


MASSACHUSETTS RURAL SCHOOL FESTIVAL


In conjunction with the Eastern Music Educators' Conference to be held in Boston, March 14 -- 17, there is to be held the Massachusetts Rural School Music Festival which is the first festival for rural schools held in the state. This festival features Art Songs, Songs of the Plains, Songs of the South, Occupational Songs, and Songs of Our Country.


Under the leadership of Miss Thomas, the Supervisor of Music, a chorus of thirty pupils from our schools will be chosen to participate in the festival.


Parents will be requested to assist in costuming and transportation of pupils, all of which I believe they will be willing to do if they con- sider the opportunity afforded the children to participate with others.


COOPERATIVE AGENCIES


We are most fortunate in having a Parent-Teacher Association at each school which plans a series of programs of value to parents and teachers. By means of these programs, parents are given an oppor- tunity to learn what the modern trend is as regards dealing with boys and girls in school and out of school.


The speakers at the meetings are generally chosen because they are doing work with boys and girls which is considered of more than ordinary value.


These meetings are held at the school buildings and, thereby, par- ents can learn of the physical conditions under which their children are working. Teachers are in their classrooms previous to meetings to


66


TOWN OF LYNNFIELD


afford parents an opportunity to discuss individual problems with them.


The associations have already made plans for providing a second annual entertainment of a very high standard for the enjoyment of the pupils.


I cannot think of any way in which a parent can render a greater service to a child than to attend these monthly meetings of the local Parent-Teacher Associations.


The local post of the American Legion is to be thanked and con- gratulated for providing annually a Christmas program of real enjoy- ment for the pupils. Any Legionnaire who witnessed the program last December and noted the keen interest and enjoyment of the pupils would feel well rewarded for the effort and money expended in provid- ing the program and gifts.


The schools are always indebted to the Lynnfield Community Bus, Incorporated, for extra transportation of pupils as well as to many citi- zens who so generously provide cars for transportation of pupils on special occasions.


CONFERENCE WITH PARENTS


It is realized that parents would at times like to confer with the superintendent but they do not always find it possible to go to the school building when he is there. In case an interview is desired, the superintendent will call at the home if a request is sent to the principal.


A letter addressed to me at South Hamilton will receive an early reply.


CONCLUSION


May I take this opportunity of expressing my appreciation to all my co-workers, to the pupils, and taxpayers in making the past year one of real value to the school system.


Respectfully submitted,


JOHN D. WHITTIER.

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE


The Dental Clinic was held last year by Dr. Edmund Tobin, who examined all children.


Total number dental certificates given by school and privates dentists 184 Number having some dental work done 23


We are hoping to have a dental clinic again this year.


Hearing-Mrs. Barrows, from the State Department of Public Health, assisted by the school nurse, tested the hearing of all school children with the audiometer, except in the first and second grades. A method easier for the younger children was used in the first two grades. All doubtful cases were re-tested. When children were found with defective hearing, the parents were notified by home calls from the School Nurse, with the recommendation that they take the children to an ear specialist.

TOWN OF LYNNFIELD


REPORT OF LIBRARY TRUSTEES


To the Citizens of the Town of Lynnfield:


The appropriation for the Library Department for the year 1938 was the same amount as the regular appropriations for the past several years, without any special amounts being required in addition. The Trustees have made every effort to have all the worthwhile new publi- cations made available for your reading at both Libraries.


Some citizens have approached members of the Trustees with the suggestion that the Libraries be open on at least two days each week. Because this demand has not been sufficiently general, in the opinion of the Trustees, to warrant the additional expense to the Town, the Trustees do not, at this time, recommend an increase in hours.

TOWN OF LYNNFIELD


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 tool house at Willow Cemetery, for which a special appropria- tion was made at the last annual Town Meeting, has been built. It is a good, substantial building which fills a long-felt need.


The hurricane did much damage to the cemetery trees and at the West Cemetery alone twenty-two (22) pines were uprooted. The other cemeteries suffered loss of trees except at Forest Hill, where fortunately only breakage occurred.


Due to the fine work of the W. P. A. all fallen trees, stumps, brush and debris were removed, leaving the cemeteries in good condition. This project helped the commissioners greatly in this emergency, though we were able to trim all damaged trees at Forest Hill from our appro- priation.


During the past year we have continued our practice of grading and seeding an area at Forest Hill Cemetery, making ready for subse- quent sale of lots.
