GENERAL STATISTICS
Thinking that they may be of interest, I am including again some figures taken from the annual report of the State Department of Education for the school year ending June 30, 1926 for the town of Norwell.
Population, State Census, 1925 1 466
Valuation as of April 1, 1925 $1 724 790 00
Average number of days school was in session 175 Expenditure for school support from local taxation per $1,000 valuation $10 55

COST OF OPERATION OF SCHOOLS
I have felt for some time that it may not be clear to all the people of Norwell just how much outside assistance is given us for the operation of our schools. The town votes a certain amount for schools. Everybody may not realize that the state helps out to the extent of between six and seven thousand dollars, lessening the cost of oper- ation to. Norwell by that amount.
This year we received $611.28 for the tuition of state wards. Our share of General School Fund, Part I was $1,795.00. Norwell received from General School Fund, Part II $2,545.10. The reimbursement from the state for the superintendent's salary was $667.47, constituting approximately one half the cost to Norwell for its super- intendent of school. The high school grant this year amounted to $1,054.25.
The facts I mention are clear to some, but no doubt there are many who have not realized the extent to which we receive oustide assistance and consequently what Norwell is able to receive educationally at relatively low cost to the town.
THRIFT
Among the many duties and responsibilities devolving on the schools of today is the inculcation of trift. Much is being done in the schools of Norwell by way of precept.
118
SEVENTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT
By way of practice, the school savings system is one of the most important means of teaching thrift.
At a recent conference between the treasurer of the South Scituate Savings Bank and your superintendent, plans were formulated whereby a school savings system might be installed in the schools of Norwell. It is hoped that this plan may be in operation by the time this report is being read by the citizens of Norwell. Those of us who are con- nected with the Norwell school department feel that in the installation of a school savings system a noteworthy step of progress have been taken.
IN CONCLUSION
I feel that we have had a successful school year of pro- gress. My thanks are due the school committee, teachers, parents, and children, all of whom have co-operated in the interests of the highest development of the school system of Norwell. The general tendency of all has been to help and not to hinder. There can be no doubt that Norwell is sincerely interested in the welfare of the schools.
I earnestly believe that Norwell Schools are good schools. We are not, however, satisfied. Our aim is to make the schools of Norwell better.
Respectfully submitted,
LEON M. FARRIN

High School Principal
To the Superintendent of Schools :
I hereby submit my second annual report as Principal of Norwell High School.
The following statistics are for January 15th, 1927. Total enrolment since September 60
Present enrolment 59
Of which
19 are Freshmen
11 are Sophomores
15 are Juniors
14 are Seniors
The present program of studies require seven forty min- ute periods per day. Every subject is taught five times per week (except music and physical training.)
Every course offered is arranged to meet the College Entrance Board requirements. An outline of the curricu- lar activities together with an explanation of the marking system has been printed and placed in the hands of the par- ents.
One class room has been equipped with new seats and clesks. The other three class rooms are in urgent need of new furniture. The old equipment is wearing out rap- idly. A marked improvement has been observed in the work and deportment of the pupils who use the new class room.
120
SEVENTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT
The discipline of the school has been excellent. On ac- count of the fact that practically all of the High School pupils travel on school buses, it has been found impracticable to employ the usual "Detention Period" method of con- trolling discipline and work. Eternal vigilence, however, on the part of all teachers has, therefore, been necessary to keep the school up to the standards maintained in other schools.
The Senior Class intended to present the play, "The Charm School," on December 3rd, 1926. Slow progress was made in its preparation and it was given up. The Senior class is now working on another play which they hope to present in April of 1927. Two invitation dances were given.
One period per week is devoted to singing. This period is spent usually in singing community songs. Drawing has been discontinued.
A number of new text books and class room devices have been added recently. The reference library continues to grow and is kept in good order.
In the department of English two factors have been emphasized : a command of correct and clear speaking and an ability to read with intelligence and appreciation. To realize the first of these two aims we require a great many written essays and for certain classes regular oral compo- sitions : to attain the second we make a careful study of the masters of our literature with constant reference to their interpretation of our everyday lives.
The Foreign Language Department has shown a rapid growth in the past several years. In this department an attempt is made in both French and Latin to give its
121
TOWN OF NORWELL
students a thorough knowledge of the construction of the languages so that the pupil may read and write it, that in the future he may, if necessary, speak it. This purpose is accomplished by actually speaking, writing, reading and translating it, and through rigid drill, so conducted that although tedious at times, it may whenever possible, take the form of recreation and play.
In History we are teaching for this year Medieval and Modern History to Freshmen and Sophomores and Ameri- can History to Juniors and Seniors. Medieval and Modern History carries the pupil from the time of Charlemange to the present day. The aim of this course is to increase the emphasis on social, industrial, and cultural topics and to enable the pupil to understand modern conditions and tendencies. Throughout the course there is a unity of treatment, but at the same time the incoherence of a purely chronological relation of historical facts is avoided. In American History the Massachusetts State requirements are carefully carried out. Special attention is paid to the changes in industry, politics and government that have taken place from the earliest days to the present time. A note and map book is used which enables the pupils to gain a better understanding of American History than the use of a text alone.
In the Science Department we are offering General Science to Freshmen and Sophomores and Chemistry to Juniors and Seniors. The General Science course deals with physics, chemistry, hygiene, physiography, agriculture and domestic science. Throughout, the controlling idea has been to make the course as informal as possible, to arouse the interest of the pupil, to provide information which will broaden his horizon and be of real practical value and to teach the pupil something of scientific methods. The study of Chemistry is calculated to arouse interest both in the
122
SEVENTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT
theoretical and in the practical side of the subject. A knowl- edge of Chemistry is becoming more and more necessary to enable us to understand discoveries and inventions which are now every-day conveniences. Although the Chemistry Department is handicapped in laboratory facilities, the great stress placed on the solution of problems and the under- standing of theory, we believe places our preparation on a. par with the best.
In the Mathematics Department no one applied for Plane Geometry or Advanced Mathematics. Algebra is, there- fore, the only Mathematics course being taught this year. Every pupil intending to enter College should take Algebra. A large class this year indicates an inclination on the part of the majority of the Freshmen towards college preparation.
In the Commercial Department we have tried more than ever to make the work of the class room like that of an office. Although we have introduced an additional class in typewriting, we have not been handicapped by the lack of typewriters. There has been a decline this year in the number taking the commercial course due to the increasing percentage of those entering in the last two classes to go in for college entrance work. The commercial department is the best equipped department in the school and compares favorably to similar departments in other high schools in this vicinity.
In the extra curricular activities we have been handi- capped by the lack of time. Practically all of the time that can be spared from the class room is devoted to the work in lunch room. High School pupils handled the lunch room activities under the supervision of a special teacher. The regular menu consists of soup, sandwiches, milk, pastry, candy and ice cream. All profits, if any, are returned to lunch room for its further improvement. The
123
TOWN OF NORWELL
lunch room is a clean and attractive place to buy and eat a wholesome lunch.
In Athletics our teams have done well. We hope and expect to keep on putting out winning teams, but of more importance to us is the building of character among pupils. Our boys and girls burn with the desire to win, but not at the expense of true sportsmanship. Life is a game and our basket ball court is the laboratory where our boys and girls conduct their experiments in learning how to play the game of life.
During the past year the Superintendent of Schools, the School Board, and the Parents have always been ready to co-operate with us in every way possible to keep up the high standards set up in Norwell High School. Allow me to extend to them my sincere appreciation.
Respectfully,
EDWIN PHILLIPS, Principal.

Music Instructor
Mr. Leon M. Farrin, Superintendent of Schools
Because of its cultural and practical value, music should have a definite place in the daily program of each grade. The following is a report of the music schedule in the Norwell Schools this year.
In grades one and two, the children commence their study of music by learning 'rote songs.' The melodies of these rote songs are, for the most part, folk songs of many nations.
Grades three, four and five continue this study of rote songs. In addition there are time and tone drills which help train the child's ear and which enable him to express himself musically. It is in these classes that the funda- mentals of music are taught.
Grades six, seven and eight review the work of the former grades, add more theory and attempt a little work in music appreciation. The seventh and eighth grades study three-part singing.
Thanks to the efforts of the teachers, the children are doing good work.
Very little time is devoted to High School Music so that it seems best to spend most of the hour singing community songs.
Respectfully submitted, DOROTHY M. KANRICH
Physical Director
Mr. Leon M. Farrin, Superintendent of Schools
I herewith submit my first annual report.
More emphasis is being placed on Physical Education in the Norwell Schools this year, in that each grade has at least two hours of supervised Physical Education a week. Until cold weather set in these classes were held on the playground behind the Town Hall.
Since games not only help in the mental and physical development of the person, but also are of use in training him for the duties of citizenship in his community, they are counted a necessary part of the Physical Education Schedule.
In addition to games is the following program :
Grades one and two, rhythmic plays
Grades three, four and five, gymnastics, mimetic exercises and some folk dancing.
Grades six, seven and eight, formal gymnastics and stunts.
Since the begining of the season the girls' basketball has improved immensely. Good team-work is one end towards which the girls are working-and reaching.
The High School Boys, under the direction of Mr. Clow, are receiving good training and are doing fine work. He has developed teams which play to win the game fairly or not at all.

Report of Selectmen
We present herewith the seventy-eighth annual report of the officers of the town of Norwell, together with the report of a state audit, made in accordance with section 40 of Chapter 44 of the General Laws.
Three changes were made by the Legislature during the session of 1927, in the laws, which affect our work.
Chapter 65, approved March 25, provides that hereafter the Overseers of the Poor shall be known as The Board of Public Welfare.
Chapter 203, approved April 5, changes the name Alms- house to Infirmary.
Chapter 212, approved April 6, provides that the town forest shall be in charge of a special town forest committee, appointed by the selectmen, one member each year for a term of three years to serve without pay.
The completion of the purchase of the number 2 school house was delayed by the desire of the town counsel to make sure that there were no other heirs, that might make a claim later, besides the two that finally signed the deed. The building is now occupied by the Legion.
The bounds of the town landing at Chittenden have been determined but permanent markers have not yet been placed.
