SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
To the School Committee Town of Norwell
As the Superintendent of Schools for the Towns of Hanover, Hanson and Norwell, it gives me pleasure to submit my seventh annual report to the Town of Norwell.
Norwell's greatest achievement for 1949 was the building of the ele- mentary building, which at present is to house the first five grades. At the time of transfer there will be two rooms each of grades one, two and three, and single units of grades four and five, together with a combination room made up of grades four and five. This arrangement will ie n odifed as two rooms of each grade becomes necessary. The present arrangement places more than half of the enrollment in the new building, and keeps each bus load at an efficient level.
That Norwell's housing problem is solved only for a fairly short period of years is to be expected, as the number of births has not de-
127
TOWN OF NORWELL
clined as anticipated, and the continued building within the town and in the area definitely points to a growing community. In three or four years Norwell might well have to reconsider its needs in the light of known trends. That the architect has planned for this possible expansion is to be commended. Meanwhile, Norwell can boast of having school facilities considered among the best.
Major maintenance and improvement at the high school includes the following: Building of a new sewerage disposal field, painting of all the exterior of the building, calking and weatherstripping of the north win- dows, and a new metal flag pole.
In the school kitchen a new ten-burner two-oven gas stove was in- stalled. New movable furniture for two rooms was purchased and put into use prior to its being moved to the new building, where all furniture will be of the movable type.
Norwell has had few staff changes, and has therefore gained much by teacher continuity. Mrs. Lois Turner, teacher since 1921, was granted a disability retirement by the Teachers Retirement Board, and her place has been filled by Mrs. Rose Vose, an experienced commercial teacher, who is making her home in Hanover. Mrs. Turner was feted by the teach- ing staff and received congratulations on her many years of service to the youth of Norwell. Her continued interest in the schools is anticipated.
This fall the Superintendent met in a series of thirteen meetings with the teachers, first on a grade basis, all teachers in the grade from the three towns coming together to discuss common problems. Later meetings were on a town basis, all teachers of the town meeting together to discuss local problems.
In addition to the above teachers were encouraged to take educa- tional courses to benefit from the interchange of ideas and the acquisi- tion of new material. As a result the following numbers are taking courses this year: Hanover, seven; Hanson, four; Norwell, seven.
Increased enrollment has made it necessary to add a new teacher, and this will probably be repeated for several years to come according to the present figures. Since our present State Aid formula depends upon the number of teachers on the staff, the burden of adding to our number will be assisted by increased State funds.
In studying the local budget, attention is called to the fact that in 1949 36% of the total was received back into the general treasury and that for the 1950 budget at least 33% is anticipated from State funds.
Another major part of State funds accruing to the town comes as a partial bus reimbursement. The addition of a fourth bus, together with major reroutings so that the small children are being transported sepa- rately from the older ones has been made possible because of this bus aid. The new fleet of four busses has further eliminated long waiting at the schools. Routes have been planned so that the Ridge Hill and Center Primary children will be transported to the new building without too much change in the schedules.
The School Department owes a special word of appreciation to those parents and friends who have been working together in the P.T.A. The strength of this group working for our youth has been shown in a number
128
ONE HUNDREDTH ANNUAL REPORT
of excellent projects, particularly toward the new school. Their splendid cooperation in every project has been most helpful.
The major increases in Norwell's budget comes from the addition of new staff to take care of the new enrollment. Sums have been estimated for the running of the new school, but these cannot be but estimates.
An examination of the budget shows an anticipated receipt of over $32,500.00 which will come to the Town, most of it from the State, because of school formulas. This amount represents almost 33% of the total budget.
Although this amount is large, another bill has been introduced into
the general assembly to further increase State Aid in order that local tax on real estate can be reduced. It is a recognized fact that fairly few of the children educated in any one town remain to live or work in that town, and that therefore, the cost of sharing for the education of youth must rest more on the State's resources.
The reports from the art, music and writing supervisors have been omitted this year, but the good work done in these departments continues.
The Superintendent wishes to thank all who have contributed to the education of Norwell's youth this year.
Respectfully yours,
CLIFTON E. BRADLEY, Superintendent.
REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL
To the Superintendent of Schools,
Mr. Clifton E. Bradley
I herewith submit the principal's annual report concerned with Nor- well Public Schools, grades three through twelve.
May we "point with pride" to the fact that nearly seventy per cent of the graduating class of 1949 have elected to continue their education in some post-secondary school. Close contact with these institutions leads us to believe that our boys and girls are academically proving themselves and that their high-school preparation was such as to facilitate further learning beyond the twelfth grade. Those who chose to seek employment immediately after graduation have been successfully placed and are about the business of earning a living.
It is not anticipated that such a splendid record as noted above will be the case with every graduating class. Individuals are of such "stuff" as to make it an impossibility to arrange them a mathematical table of expectancy. But it IS expected that our Guidance Department will work with each pupil to the end that he knows of the various opportunities of an educational and vocational nature that may best serve him in the years after high school.
129
TOWN OF NORWELL
The school issues a monthly bulletin to parents which pretends to no elegance of style, but does attempt to be informative. It is hoped that this modest publication may lend to a better understanding of school functions.
It is recommended that, with the anticipated increase in high school enrollment, an additional teacher be procured to teach the social studies. These subjects are now divided among several teachers and might be better the responsibility of a specialist in the field.
The fact that several pupils have left the high school to attend voca- tional school is worthy of note. In the majority of cases the pupils con- cerned were encouraged to make the change. It was felt that a voca- tional course would best serve the manifest interests and aptitudes of certain boys. This is not to imply in any way that the high school is not offering those subjects needed by the pupils. It is felt that a mechanical arts course or "shop" would be an expensive luxury for Norwell to establish and maintain in view of the few who would benefit by it. Far better that those who have the proper interests and aptitudes be assigned to other schools for such training. It might be possible, however, and de- sirable to establish a subject that would teach the boy certain fundamen- tals in mechanics, etc. which would be helpful to him in his home. Many "specialists' " bills can be avoided by knowing how to fix a leaking faucet and how to square two boards.
Your principal is convinced that our school system - pupils, staff, administration, materials, buildings - is a good one. We invite compari- son with any other school, regardless of size; public or private.
May I express my appreciation of the constant cooperation, ever apparent, on the part of the superintendent and members of the school committee.
Respectfully submitted,
FREDERICK A. SMALL, Principal.

few minor defects were noted and reported to the pupils' respective par- ents for attention by their family physicians.
Contagious diseases have been at a minimum. In spite of the in- creased prevalence of poliomyelitis in this area, only two Norwell chil- dren were ill, and both of these were "non-paralytic," and have returned to school.
Sanitation of the buildings has been satisfactory with the exception of the old buildings.

ONE HUNDREDTH ANNUAL REPORT
REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
Nineteen hundred and forty-nine was a memorable year for the schools of Norwell. We feel sure a record for achievement was estab- lished in the matter of school house construction.
March 7, 1949 in town meeting assembled the taxpayers voted almost unanimously "to build and originally equip an elementary school build- ing." March, 1950, will witness the occupancy of that building by the lower grades, thus bringing to a successful climax the efforts of all those who have been constructively interested in solving the school housing problem.
Credit for arousing the interest of the voters in the project of a new school building belongs largely to those members of the Parent Teacher's Association who circulated fliers concerning the proposed building and "followed up" by making it possible for those interested to attend Town Meeting. Evidence of such team work certainly deserves the highest praise.
The report of the School Building Committee of which the School Committee is a part, will be found elsewhere in this Town Report.
The new building will be occupied for the first time on Feb. 27th. Mr. Frederick A. Small, principal of the High School, has also been appointed principal of the new building with Mrs. Grace E. Cole as sub- mäster. We feel this should be a very satisfactory arrangement. Chester A. Bell has been chosen the Custodian, from a field of sixteen candidates, and is already on the job.
Norwell was fortunate to retain all of its teachers but one. That one retired because of ill health. The reason we were able to keep our teach- ers was due to two factors, the pleasant surroundings and the nearer adequate salaries. The combination is a good one and we trust will work again this year.
Mrs. Lois Turner retired because of ill health and her place was taken by Mrs. Rose Vose, a teacher of many years' experience. Mrs. Tur- ner's retirement came after many years of faithful, conscientious service and carries with it the plaudits of two generations of young people, whose school life she made the happier by her cheerful disposition and helpful manner. May she enjoy many years of pleasurable retirement.
Mrs. Pauline Cobleigh, an experienced teacher, was hired to teach the third grade, and Mrs. Brant released from a regular grade to work with those pupils who for one reason or another have dropped below grade in their work. This remedial work not only helps the individual pupil but releases the regular teacher from the necessity of taking class time to bring these pupils up to grade.
All in all, we feel we have the strongest corps of teachers in many years.
In July proposals for transportation were published and the bids were publicly opened.

Proposal for extending the sewerage system at the High School were published and bids were publicly opened. They were as follows:
Wadsworth & Benner $610.00 550.00
Toiva Jarvinen
The contract was awarded to Toiva Jarvinen for $550.00.
This work was ordered by the State Dept. Board of Health because of the overflow of the septic tank west of the building.
The High School building has come to the place where considerable money must be spent if it is to be maintained economically.
This year some of the windows were weatherstripped, which has made quite a difference in heating the rooms thus treated. The remainder of the windows should be weather stripped, the auditorium outside doors caulked and weatherstripped and the attic floor capped. Gutters on the front and back of the building, omitted when the building was built, should be installed to prevent water running in under the auditorium floor during heavy rains. The presence of water under this floor caused it to warp and buckle and necessitated an outlay of several hundred dol- lars two years ago. The amount saved by omitting gutters and insulation when the building was built in 1936 has been spent for fuel and repairs on the auditorium floor.
It is worthy of note that the construction of the new building is such that there seems to be no chance for expensive repairs.
Your Committee again urges parents and all others interested in the management of the department of your town government which costs the largest single amount of money in the budget, to visit the schools more frequently. In this way you will obtain first hand knowledge of existing conditions, get acquainted with the teachers who are assisting you in the training of your children and make for better harmony. In an attempt to acquaint you with the working of this department, the School Commit- tee has set the 3rd Wednesday of each month as its regular meeting night, to which the public is cordially invited.
