Total Secondary School Enrollment 126


Grand Total School Enrollment 527


The above figures show there has been an increase in elementary enrollment of 5 at the South School and of 26 at the Center School. A total elementary increase of 31 which is the capacity of one classroom.


High or secondary school enrollment has increased from 125 to 126.


TEACHERS


South School


A leave of absence for school year 1946-1947 was granted Mrs. Er- nestine Rose.


Center School


The following teachers did not sign proffered contracts for the school year 1946-1947. Miss Thaida Gruenler, Miss Ruth Washburn, Miss Elizabeth Whitney.


Mrs. Mildreth Rourke and Mrs. Shirley Phillips presented their resignations to become effective at the close of school in December.


Teachers entering the service to fill vacancies were Mrs. Gladys


56


TOWN OF LYNNFIELD


Goodwin, Mrs. Katherine Higgins, Mrs. Marjorie Coon, Mr. A. Lawrence Safford, Mrs. Harriett C. Eldridge, Mrs. Josephine Durkin, and Mrs. Bar- bara Paulson.


The large enrollment in grade one necessitated assistance for the regular teacher through June. There being an enrollment of 54 pupils in grade one at the Center last September necessitated securing the serv- ice of an extra teacher that two divisions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, might be made of this group.


SALARIES


An increase of $150.00 was given each teacher at the time of re- election last April. This increase became effective as of September 1st. Living costs, an increased shortage of teachers, and many other factors have contributed to an unsettled frame of mind of those in the teaching profession.


Educational leaders have taken an account of stock and they, too, have become alarmed. They realize something drastic must be done, and done before it is too late. The present teaching body must be kept in service, standards of teaching must be raised, salaries must be raised, and a tremendously large number of young people to train for the teach- ing profession must be recruited.


In Lynnfield, as elsewhere, it is a case of paying our teachers sal- aries sufficient to retain them to warrant their pursuing professional courses and to reward them for performing a professional piece of work. Young people will be recruited only as they see that the profession of teaching is really financially worthwhile and that teachers are secure in their positions if they meet the professional standards.


At our December meeting of the Committee it was unanimously voted to request the Finance Committee, and in turn the voters at the Annual Town Meeting, for a $400.00 increase in salary for all full-time teachers and a proportionate increase for all part-time teachers.


Youth in Lynnfield deserve teachers of high professional attain- ments and ability to render educational service second to none in the Commonwealth. Whether or not this is maintained depends upon the action taken by the Finance Committee and voters.


ORGANIZATION


South School


Grade one is the only grade that it is physically possible to allocate to one teacher.


Grade two and a division of grade three are taught by one teacher. Grade four and part of grade three are taught by one teacher.


Grades five and six are taught by one teacher.


57


REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE


Center School


Grade one, two teachers, each for a half day's session.


Grades two, three, and six, each have a room and teacher.


Grades four and five are taught by one teacher.


Grades seven and eight:


Work is departmentalized and taught by four teachers, one of whom has Principal's duties. That single grades might be maintained at the present time, there is need of four additional rooms in the town. What the need will be next September is problematical.


SECONDARY SCHOOL ATTENDANCE


A larger percentage of our grammar school graduates continue their formal education as the years come along. The number who fail in their scholastic work in secondary schools seems to grow smaller and therefore only a few leave school before completing their course.


For reasons which seem justifiable, many pupils wish to pursue their secondary school course elsewhere than at Wakefield High where most of the secondary pupils are enrolled. Full transportation is paid by the Town for said pupils. The tuition approved for payment by the Lynnfield School Committee is the same as paid for pupils attending Wakefield High School, namely $182.17 per year. Parents assume re- sponsibility for paying the difference between that charged elsewhere and the charge at Wakefield.


TRANSPORTATION


Demands for transportation increase from year to year. This is brought about by an increase in school enrollment at distances from school, hazardous highways, and lack of sidewalks. There is also a danger because of the mentally unbalanced being at large. Your Com- mittee feels it is its duty to provide transportation for pupils wherever distance or risks are too great for walking. An individual may walk a hazardous road with much less possibility of an accident than a group of children walking the same route.


We must expect the cost of transportation to increase. We can at the same time have satisfaction of mind that elected officers have not subjected children to unnecessary chances going to and from school.


ADMITTANCE EXAMINATIONS


Until sufficient room can be provided to care for pupils five years of age by April 1st prior to enrollment in September, it would seem ad- visable to recommend that admittance examinations should not be given under-age children. Unless parents desire children to have two years attendance at a kindergarten, it would seem advisable to recommend


58


TOWN OF LYNNFIELD


that kindergarten training of one year be completed in the spring be- fore entering school in September. Our new building at the South will have kindergarten rooms to care for all children of that age group within the town.


NEW SOUTH SCHOOL BUILDING


Until a new building is provided the present organization must con- tinue at the South School.


Having had the opportunity to attend several meetings of the Build- ing Committee with the Architect, Mr. Frank Cooper, and the Con- sultant, Mr. Jesse B. Davis, I am thoroughly convinced that said Com- mittee is endeavoring to provide the most suitable building possible without resorting to an extravagant expenditure of the taxpayers' money.


We must not lose sight of the fact that our long range school building program calls for the second addition to the Center School, the new South School, a junior-senior high school, and ultimately replacing the present wooden structure at the Center with a building of brick con- struction. This should all be done within a ten year period in order to provide suitable and up-to-date buildings to accommodate our pupils.


CENTER SCHOOL ADDITION


Plans for an addition are now well under way. Upon completion of this addition, it is anticipated that basement rooms will not be used for home rooms. These will be used only for recitations as long as seat- ing capacity of ten rooms will care for our needs.


HEALTH SERVICE


Dr. Ralph Brown devotes time on Tuesday mornings to examina- tions, inoculations, and other routine duties in the school. Miss Florence Stobbart, the school nurse, assists Dr. Brown in the above work besides doing her routine work in the schools and making home calls as occasion demands.


The number of pupils is becoming altogether too great for Miss Stob- bart to do the extensive and thorough nursing work now necessary in her assignment of one day weekly. We should employ a school nurse for at least two days weekly.


There has been in the past some interest expressed to me by cit- izens for employment of a Community Nurse in Lynnfield. If such health service could be inaugurated, the School Committee might well cooperate by sharing the time of the Community Nurse and paying at least one third of the cost. It is hoped that local citizens will give thought to this plan, and if it seems advisable will take steps to meet the School Committee for consideration of the project.


59


REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE


STATE AID FOR SUPPORT OF SCHOOLS


There has been recently filed in the 1947 Legislature a petition for a larger amount of state financial aid for the use of local public schools in the 351 cities and towns of the State. Massachusetts is near the bot- tom among the states in respect to the support given to local schools from state collected taxes. Only about 9% of the total cost of the public schools is paid out of state taxes distributed on an educational basis. Unless very much more state aid is forthcoming, Massachusetts schools will suffer a marked drop in quality.


If the petition as presented is enacted into a law, Lynnfield should receive as state aid approximately $26,000.00 in 1947, and $25,000.00 in 1948. This would be $23,000.00 or 91% more state aid than now received.


It is of course problematical if the petition as presented is enacted into law. However, it does seem reasonable to expect that some legis- lation will be enacted to provide state financial aid for schools. Lynn- field should profit financially from whatever legislation is passed.


CONCLUSION


May I take this opportunity to express my appreciation for the co- operation of all during the past year.


Respectfully submitted,


JOHN D. WHITTIER Superintendent of Schools

DENTAL PROGRAM


I am sorry that we have not been able to have a dental clinic. I sincerely hope the time is not far away when arrangements can be made for a permanent dental clinic.


Number to date reporting dental work done 89


Number under dental care at present time 23


The above report shows that less than one-third of the school pop- ulation are having dental care.


DIPHTHERIA IMMUNIZATION


Result of survey and clinic held for the protection against diphtheria by immunization and booster doses:


Number receiving immunization treatments


42


(3 treatments of diphtheria toxoid)


Number receiving booster doses in clinic 96


Number receiving booster doses privately 45


Number where booster or treatment was not needed 83


Number refusing treatments and never have had any protection 5


The above program was carried on because of the increase in the number of diphtheria cases reported in the State of Massachusetts this year. I am sorry I cannot report 100% protection among our school children. The reason, as shown above, being that some parents refuse to take advantage of this protection.


CONTAGIOUS AND COMMUNICABLE DISEASES


Contagious and communicable diseases reported to date of the school population :


Measles 9 Mumps 6


Scarlet Fever 7


Chicken Pox


5


Rheumatic Fever 1


Miscellaneous:


Pneumonia 3 Ringworm 1


Impetigo 2 Ivy 5


The above report shows all too clearly the pressing need of excluding all pupils or teachers showing signs of illness, even though it may seem to be only a common cold. Only in this way can we prevent serious epidemics.

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE


Other routine health work is carried on as follows: General inspec- tion of classrooms for cleanliness, weighing and measuring, eye and ear examinations, home calls when necessary, first aid dressings, clerical work, follow up work on physical defects and consultations with par- ents, teachers, superintendent, state physician, state supervisor, school physician, etc.


Before summing up my report I would like to compliment the per- sonnel and management of the school cafeterias for their neatness and general appearance. The well-planned menus and the nutritious and hot mid-day lunches have proven their value by giving added vitamins and energy building foods for health development of our growing boys and girls.


I am always very grateful for any suggestions that might help or improve our health program as on the health of our school population depends the health of our future citizens.


In closing I wish to thank all members of the school faculty, par- ents, pupils, school physician and all other health authorities for their kind and considerate help and cooperation.


I sincerely hope we will continue to maintain a high standard of health and morale in our schools and community.


Respectfully submitted,


FLORENCE L. STOBBART, R. N.

TOWN OF LYNNFIELD


REPORT OF PLANNING BOARD


The Lynnfield Planning Board submits it's report for the year end- ing December 31, 1946.


The Board held semi-monthly meetings during the past year at each a quorum was present. Numerous special meetings were held at the request of Citizens or Developers at which one or more of the Board was present to give advice or information.


Four Public Hearings were held for new Developments and two were held for proposed changes in the Zoning By-Law.


Three Developments have been approved by the Board, containing a total of 103 house lots. Bonds for these have been filed with the Town Treasurer for a total amount of $48,000 guaranteeing the comple- tion of streets, the installation of Water Mains including fittings and hydrants and the installation of stone bounds. This clearly proves the wisdom of the Voters of the Town in accepting Chapter 211 of the General Laws of the Commonwealth as it saves them this amount in future taxes. In addition to the above approved Sub-Divisions there are under consideration several new Developments.


Until ten years ago the Town has grown moderatedy making it fairly easy to anticipate future growth, but during the past ten years this growth has been considerably faster, as shown by the following:


1935 Total population, 1,945 1945 2,921, an increase of 54%


1935 Total valuation, $3,715,176 1945 $5,151,358, an increase of 35% 1935 Polls, 64534 1945 958, an increase of 49%


During the past year the Planning Board has given serious consid- eration to the establishment of a business district for the Centre. It is our opinion that this is something that should be done as quickly as possible for the following reasons:


1. Suitable locations are rapidly being developed. It will not be long before a location which can be developed, off the main thorughfare with adequate parking space will no longer be available.


2. A business district will contribute taxable property which will be free of any great expense to the Town.


3. Taking a realistic point of view and planning not for to-day but for many years ahead, a business district will some time become a necessity, in fact the Planning Board has been approached many times in regards to what could be done to establish a business district to-day.


The Planning Board's first proposal for a business district in the Centre was presented to the Town for approval at the Special Town Meeting, held October 21, 1946. This was rejected. While this proposed location did not meet with approval, it is our intention to bring another proposal before the voters of the Town in the near future.

REPORT OF BOARD OF ASSESSORS


With reference to the Long Range Financial Plan referred to in our report of last year we are pleased to state that very definite pcg- ress has been made during the past year.


With the co-operation of the Selectmen, Finance Committee, Heads of Departments and School Committee the Planning Board has furnished the necessary statistics to Mr. Wm. Stanley Parker, one of the foremost municipal financial planning authorities in the Country. Mr. Parker has prepared a Long Range Financial Plan for Lynnfield, a copy of which has been sent to every voter in Town.


We are still of the opinion that a Town Forest would be a desirable feature for the Town, particularly the Centre, and in this connection can only report that we have interested one gentleman who is consid- ering presenting the Town with a five acre woodlot adjacent to the fifty acres owned by the Centre Water District.
