ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
OF THE
TOWN OF NORWELL
FOR THE YEAR 1915
Report of the School Committee of Norwell for the Year 1915
To the Citizens of the Town of Norwell :
The School Committee hereby submit the annual School Report.
At the Town Meeting held in March, 1915, Mrs. Amy W. Sylvester was elected to serve on the school board for a term of three years. The work is divided so that each member has charge of certain districts, and may cause small repairs to be made without calling a special meeting for the purpose. We find the work is more thoroughly and quickly performed by this arrangement.
Many changes have been made in our teaching force this year.
Miss Tolman, being at liberty at the beginning of the winter term, resumed her duties at District No. 7 and Miss Murray was transferred to Dist. No. I, to take the place of Miss Burns, who had resigned to accept a better position in Hingham. Miss Drew, the grammar teacher at Ridge Hill, was obliged to give up her school at the close of the winter term on account of sickness, and Miss Helen Dick- inson of Melrose was secured to finish out the year. The primary teachers at Ridge Hill and at Dist. No. 2 left at the close of the year; also our two excellent and efficient High school assistants, Miss Lynch, to accept a position in
90
Braintree, and Miss Jordan in Salem, her home town, at much larger salaries than we could offer.
The general repairs and cleaning received attention dur- ing the summer vacation. The most expensive item was the fence around the yard at Church Hill.
An unexpected expense was the rebuilding of the chim- ney and the carpenter work, at the High school building in January.
The schools opened Sept. 7, with the following teachers in charge: At the High school Mr. F. H. Kierstead, prin- cipal, with Miss Gretchen Horstmeyer and Miss Jenny Hall as assistants; Dist. No. I, Grammar, Miss Carolyn C. Grace; primary, Miss Elizabeth I. Taylor; Dist. No. 2, Miss Alice K. Wadsworth; Dist. No. 5, grammar, Miss Ella F. Osborne; primary, Miss Marion G. Merritt; Dist. No. 6, Miss Mabel E. Adams; Dist. No. 7, Miss Maria W. Tolman. The whole number of pupils registered is two hundred and sixty six, sixty being at the High school.
All teachers and pupils seem interested and are doing good work according to the account given by Supt. Hayes, who visits the schools nearly every other week during the year. Mrs. Eldridge is still in charge of the Drawing de- partment, and we have noticed some fine work on exhibi- tion. We are sorry that all the High school pupils cannot take advantage of these lessons which are being made so very interesting.
The High school and Dist. Nos. 5. 6 and 7, were closed for ten days in October on account of an epidemic of mea- sles. It is one of the State laws "That a householder who knows that a person in his family or house is sick of small pox, diphtheria, scarlet fever, or any other infectious or
91
.
contagious disease, declared to be dangerous to the public health, shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Board of Health of the city or town in which he dwells."
The upper room at Ridge Hill will be the first to be ren- ovated during the coming year. No doubt visitors have wondered how we could expect the children to take an in- terest or show much enthusiasm in their work, amid such untidy surroundings. There is plastering to be patched. walls to be painted, desks, chairs and woodwork painted or varnished. Nearly all the other rooms are in good con- tion. The building's at Ridge Hill and at Church Hill, should be painted, and we hope that funds will be provided for the purpose.
We are pleased to say that while a few bills were held over in 1914. these have been paid and also all the expenses of the year 1915, from the appropriations, with a small bal- ance unexpened. This has not been accomplished before for a number of years. Our superintendent has been very economical in the buying of books and supplies. But books do receive such rough usage! We have seen them thrown into the barges regardless of cost or consequences, and even in one case used to prop open windows in the house. How can we expect, under such circumstances, to avoid the expense of buying new each year ?
The usual town appropriations of seven thousand two hundred and fifty dollars ($7,250.00) will undoubtedly be sufficient for the regular expenses for 1916.
It is important, however, that our town buildings be kept in good condition, otherwise how can the children be expected to show due respect to them. The town surely cannot afford to let two good buildings fall to pieces, for
92
the sake of the extra amount of money required, that will ' be necessary for their upkeep.
We respectfully ask you, voters of the Town of Nor- well, to consider this question at the annual Town Meeting. and vote an extra appropriation to help us out in this mat- ter of painting, at Ridge Hill and at Church Hill.
Respectfully,
BENJAMIN LORING, CARRIE M. FORD, AMY W. SYLVESTER,
