As Mr. Jackman has pointed out in his report, the increase in our fifth grade compels us to ask for funds for still an- other teacher.
By a re-arrangement of periods and teachers, domestic science was added to the course. We were fortunate enough to procure a domestic science teacher who was qualified to teach other subjects. This adds another very practical course for the girls of the school, teaching them sewing, cooking, planning meals and the serving of same. Credit of points toward graduation are given for completion of work in this department.
The latter part of the year 1929 was saddened by the death of the school's very faithful friend and janitor, George H. Turner. He had served us three years in a manner to merit the respect and appreciation of all with whom he came in contact.

To fill the vacancy caused by his death, proposals were published for bids for janitorship.
Bids were submitted as follows :
Fred Mckay $25.00 per week
Joseph Sousa $25.00 per week
Joseph F. Totman $27.50 per week
Benjamin Loring $30.00 per week
Arnold V. Beach 1 500 00 per year
Joseph F. Merritt $26.00 per week
Harry A. Henderson $30.00 per week
Arthur G. Clark $25.00 per week
After careful consideration in which the experience and qualifications of candidates were compared, it was decided to award the contract to Joseph F. Merritt at $26.00 per week.
Our health department is still doing very fine work in the proper care of the physical side of the pupil's school life. A little more help would be welcomed however in the pre- vention of spreading disease. Pupils who are not feeling well should not be sent to school, particularly those who have sore throat and headache. These symptoms may pre- ceed scarlet fever or measles, two diseases whose after ef- fects are ofter much more serious than are generally known.
A slight increase in the salary of part of our teaching force is imperative. It will be much cheaper in the end to do this, than to shop around among the agencies with the possibility of getting less desirable inexperienced teachers. Even by doing a great deal of interviewing of candidates we find ourselves obliged to pay more for an inexperienced teacher than would have been necessary to have paid the experienced teacher, to retain his or her services. While the department does not make this statement inviting re- quests for increases in salary, it is time we all realized that
88
EIGHTIETH ANNUAL REPORT
education, particularly the salary phase, must of necessity cost more as time advances. Cheap schools are in fact as name cheap. Schools economically conducted are another matter and these we will faithfully try to produce for Nor- well.
To make a long story short :
In 1929 we spent $31,300.74. We need $33,000.00 for 1930 to carry on the present program, add one more teacher in the fifth grade and give increases where fully warranted. Of this $33,000. asked for, some $8,000 will be returned to the town by the state department and the county dog tax. This figure is based upon the 1929 returns of $7,909.52. The net cost to the town will therefore be $25,000.
We trust you will visit your schools, encourage the staff in its work and help the administration to put over its pro- gram for 1930.

To the School Committee and Citizens of Norwell :
This, my second annual report, is herewith submitted for your consideration. Included in it are the reports of the Principal of the High School and those of the special teachers.
Whatever may have been accomplished in the way of progress is due to the co-operation of all those responsible for the conduct of our schools and I wish to express my per- sonal appreciation of the assistance which has been rendered by all concerned.

The above table shows an increase of 21 pupils over the enrolment of last year. This must mean an increase in the cost of schools. The High School enrolment for September of 1930 remains about the same but grades V and VI, in the same building show a registration of about 60 pupils. This means another teacher as that number of pupils can- not be seated in one room or taught by one teacher.

Mr. Payne, the High School Principal, has commented very favorably on the work of this department. Too much cannot be said in the way of encouraging thrift in our schools. This is a work that does not function of itself. It must have the support of both the home and the school. An increase of 20 percent in the average percent of pupils depositing during the past year speaks for the efforts of those interested.

SPECIAL TEACHERS
It seems to me that every loyal citizen of Norwell must take great pride in the work of this group. Health comes first in the list of educational objectives. Only those who see the work of this department from day to day can fully real- ize its efficiency. Health is a fundamental element in life. The work of the schools depends upon a healthy stu- dent body. It is important therefore, that we do all that we can to support this department.
The good music in the Norwell schools is a matter of comment by other towns. This is a phase of the work that means much in the pleasure of the lives of our boys and girls.
98
EIGHTIETH ANNUAL REPORT
The drawing under the present instructor is new this year. If the favorable comments by teachers means any- thing it is a success and should be continued.
CONCLUSION
It would be hard indeed to find a town where the schools are entirely satisfactory to all of its citizens. It would be equally hard to find a town that is not trying to improve school conditions. Co-operative effort is needed for pro- ducing the best results in any activitiy. The success of our schools depends more upon co-operation than any other community activity.
Respectfully submitted,
HAROLD E. JACKMAN
High School Principal
To the Superintendent of Schools- Mr. Harold E. Jackman :
At the time of this annual report of the High School Principal, it is fitting to remember that I have held this office of which a year's report is asked, for less than half of the year 1929.
I will present phases of activities which are at present in vogue, as the administrator sees them, explaining in slight detail the 'why' of the present system.
The administration of the building needed considerable time and effort spent on it before the school could open in an orderly manner. I am of the belief that an institutiion must have a systematic organization of affairs with every member knowing, in detail, what he or she is supposed to do at all times.
On the opening day of school, September 4th, all students met' in the auditorium and were given individual written instructions as to the courses offered and the selection of subjects. This procedure took the time of two periods, and in the future will be done before the close of school in June. A curriculum of four courses was offered to the students this year, each having both required and elective subjects. The General Course, which in the past had been considered the easiest, was put on a par with the other three in regard to the amount of work and effort needed in order to gradu-
100
EIGHTIETH ANNUAL REPORT
ate. The course in Home Economics was a new one, offer- ed for the first time this year. This course, with the Col- lege Preparatory, the Commercial, and the General, gives to the high school students of Norwell, a choice which should be appreciated and taken full advantage of.
The percentage of new teachers in the building was excep- tionally high, and with the principal being new also, the stu- dents had less than the slightest knowledge of what to ex- pect at the opening of school. I wish to comment highly the manner in which the pupils adjusted themselves to their regulated environment.
Teachers' meetings have been held approximately once during a three week period. These have been held with the intention of improving professionally. Individual typewrit- ten sheets dealing with such subjects as "The Art of Ques- tioning," "The Assignment," and "Characteristics of Jun- ior High School Pupils" have been handed out to the teach- ers for study and discussion. Notices to the teachers, and pupils; special announcements; discussion of disciplinary problems; and the like, have been taken care of through the bulletin method.
Student assemblies are proving very successful. The pu- pils take the responsibility of these either actively or passive- ly. Groups of pupils representing interest in a specific sub- ject, take pride in presenting to the remainder of the school interesting points about their study which may commonly be unknown to their friends. These assemblies are held reg- ularly each week on Thursday, during the eighth period. On Thursdays, each of the regular seven periods are cut short five minutes so as to allow for this extra period.
The social events of the fall term were very commendable. The Senior Class offered a Hallowe'en Dance which proved
101
TOWN OF NORWELL
very successful both socially and financially. The annual school play, "Come Out of the Kitchen" was presented to a large and appreciative audience. The cast gratefully ac- cepted an invitation from the inmates of the Hanson Hos- pital to repeat this play before them on January 30th, 1930.
"The Ship Builder," our school paper, has been published twice. The cover, and design on it, is an addition which ends to add to the attractiveness of the paper. I believe that this publication is a worthy project and that it is a most desirable method of getting before the public, the type of work which is being accomplished in the school.
Fire-drills have been practiced, following the regulations laid down by fire departments such as closing all windows and doors, and getting each individual out of and away from the building. The time for doing this has been one minute.
The lunch room has been under the supervision of Miss Eleanor Hartling. This room was renovated during the past summer, and now presents a very attractive place for the home economics classes to meet, and to prepare the noon lunches which are offered at minimum cost.
Thrift has been a strong point among the pupils of this school, as compared with the same aged pupils in other lo- cal districts. Nothing of this character is good enough un- til it reaches 100 %. It is my desire that the parents take added interest in attempting to instill correct thrift habits in their children's make-up. We do not care so much as to the size of the deposit, as we do to the regularity of a depos- it. We uphold this project for the child's own good.
Basketball is the most prominent of sports. In our win- ter schedule we have seventeen games, of which ten are played at home. Mr. Dunbar is coaching the boys and is do-
102
EIGHTIETH ANNUAL REPORT
ing very credible work. All of the boys' physical activities are under the direction of Mr. Daggett. In the fall, he in- structed them in the fundamentals of football and soccer. I am in hopes that volley ball may soon be instituted into the physical program of the school. The girls basketeball team is coached by Miss Hartling. They have fifteen games on their schedule, which has been made up so that the girls leave town during the mid-week but twice during the sea- son.
The art department is under the direction of Mr. Rodman Booth, who gives instruction in this building three periods a day. In addition to the fine-arts, he also teaches history and geography in the seventh and eighth grades.
Publicity of the school notes in the local newspapers has been handled entirely by students. This is an effective means of keeping the public informed of what is taking place in the school.
The percentage of pupils on the Honor Roll is approxi- mately fifteen. This means an average rank of 85 or above in all their subjects.
On the visiting day held last fell, I was able to visit the Agawam Junior and Senior High School, and the West Springfield High school. On November 15th, I attended the Massachusetts Junior High School Principals Associa- tion meeting in Springfield. On January 11th, Mr. Dag- gett and I attended the meeting of the Massachusetts High School Association. Such visitations, if imbued with a pur- pose, bring enlightment to one's tasks. Such was the case with my experiences, as each gave me added facility in the solving of some problem.
Finally, may I restate that I am earnestly endeavoring to
103
TOWN OF NORWELL
promote such conditions as will cause the school to function with as little interruption, of any sort, as possible. Regu- larity, keen-interest, and high incentives, together with sound ethical judgment, will keep the school riding on an eveen keel with its bow never varying its course of direction.
Teaching is an art-an art so great and so difficult to master, that a man or woman can spend a long life at it with- out realizing much more than his limitations and mistakes, and his distance from the ideal.
Respectfully submitted, ROLAND W. PAYNE
School Physician
To the School Committee of the Town of Norwell :
Examination of the School children of Norwell has con- tinued along the same line as adopted some time ago. All pupils through the Junior High and all High School pupils have been examined. This includes height, weight, heart, lungs, nutrition, and general appearance.
Due to the increase in the number of cases of scarlet fev- er in the school every child was examined daily for a per- iod of three weeks in an effort to check the disease. This was advised by Dr. MacKnight, the State District Health Officer, in preference to closing the schools as a more ac- curate check-up could be made on all pupils.
Although the number of under-weight children in the schools has decreased considerably during the past few years there is an opportunity for further improvement, and we ask the co-operation of the parents in urging their children to bring to school a mid-morning lunch of either milk or cocoa in preference to candy.
Athletics in moderation play a prominent part in the health of the school child and it is hoped that this point may be stressed. Postural defects are constantly being found and measures to help correct this tendency are part of the school routine.
The schools are practically one hundred per cent vaccin- ated against small pox, and now, although it is not compul-
105

sory, we strongly recommend, and the service is available for all children, the inoculation with toxin, anti-toxin against diphtheria and the subsequent schick test.

Supervisor of Music
Mr. Harold E. Jackman Superintendent of Schools Dear sir :-
I herewith submit my report as music supervisor in the schools of Norwell.
The work in the lower grades is going in the usual way, the little people singing their rote songs and the teachers giving special attention to those who did not come to school with a tune. The second, third and fourth grades are read- ing exercises and songs from their music readers; the fifth and sixth grades are studying two part music and the sev- enth, three part songs.
A few changes have taken place in the upper classes. In September, grades seven, eight and nine had music togeth- er. As this proved unsatisfactory, Mrs. Turner kindly took charge of the seventh grade until Miss Anderson came and Miss Simonson instructs the eighth and ninth grades. These grades have a new junior song book. Music is now' elective in the upper three classes of the high school under the instruction of Miss Simonson who also accompanies at the piano.
The glee clubs sang two or three selections at the Parent Teachers' meeting in November.
The Ridge Hill School entertanied the Parent-Teacher
110

Association with a Christmas Pageant which was most creditably performed, under the direction of Mrs. Jones, assisted by Miss Blossom.
The Glee Clubs are planning an operetta entitled, "Wind Mills of Holland" a most fascinating and colorful musical play, the date to be announced later.
The Department of Education is calling the Seventh An- nual State Conference of Supervisors of music of the Public Schools to be held at Hotel Statler on Monday, January twentieth.
The general outline of the conference is as follows: A demonstration from Boston schools: an address by Miss Coleman of Columbia University : an address by Dr. Archi- bald Davison of Harvard University; a discussion of the preparation in music of the classroom teacher : a demon- stration of the use of standardized tests in music.
The splendid co-operation of our superintendent and oth- er school officials is deeply appreciated.
Respectfully submitted,
PANSY B. STETSON
Supervisor of Drawing
To the Superintendent of Schools :
I am sending to you my report for the first half year of my connection with the school system of Norwell. Owing to the short time I have been with you it is a bit early to give an exhaustive report. However I will submit a few reactions in relation to the school work at this point.
The aim of the course is to increase appreciation of the finer things in everyday life through the development of De- sign, Color, and Representative Drawing. I am endeavor- ing to use these art modes towards definite ends. Those ends being a cultural appreciation of life's values in an un- derstanding way according to the grade and age of the child and his relation to the home and community.
Two meetings of the elementary staff of Norwell and 1 Hanover have been held. The purpose of these meetings has been to acquaint the teachers with art work as carried on in other institutions, and to outline the art work of our com- munity for the months following the meetings. It is in- tended that these gatherings shall be continued as a regular monthly feature of the department.
The work for the past half year has progressed very sat- isfactorily. This feeling of satisfaction with the progress of the work is due to the fine spirit of cooperation which I find throughout the school system. The groups in our schools take hold of the work in a most encouraging man-
112

ner. This spirit of interest, I know, is the result of the un- tiring effort of the grade teachers.
