REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
A Christmas program was presented by our dramatic club (pupils from grades IV and V) and the sixth grade glee club, under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. Hewitt.
The following field trips were taken by the various classes: tour of the aircraft carrier "Wasp," the Science Museum, Frank- lin Park, Children's Museum, Quincy houses, Peabody Museum, and King's Castle. We have been using exhibits from the Chil- dren's Museum during the year.
A new step that we are taking is having a limited amount of departmental work in the sixth grades. Each child comes in contact with at least two classroom teachers. This gives him the opportunity of becoming accustomed to the methods and pro- cedures of more than one teacher. We feel that this may enable the child to adapt himself readily to junior high school routine.
Out of 419 pupils at Norwell Elementary, 360 are making use of the 21" classroom.
Four sixth grades are enjoying a science program one half hour every two weeks. This material is used to supplement their regular work.
Grades V are making use of a science program one half hour each week called "Exploring Nature." This project consists of thirty lessons. Much material is brought to the class which otherwise would not be available. The teachers prepare for these programs and follow up the televised lessons. This pro- gram serves as the basic science for this year's fifth grade work and will be supplemented with their basic science text books and supplementary readers.
A literature program is supplied for grades II and III. It is a story hour, once a week, with stories told by an expert. She also tells about other books to arouse the childrens' interest and create a desire to read.
Our foreign language program consists of French lessons for Grade IV twice a week. This is oral work. The pupils are ex- pected to learn some three hundred French words and short sentences. The teachers have one half hour program which pre- cedes the pupils session. This takes place after school hours.
These TV programs are all in the beginning stages as far as our curriculum is concerned. We, like many other towns, are availing ourselves of this opportunity to learn beyond the limit of our text books.
With the great interest shown by both teachers and pupils much good should come from the time so spent. These programs

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
will come on Channel 2 and may be seen by any parent who wishes to know what his child is learning from our TV programs.
I believe that children are our most precious possession. It is our duty to prepare them for the future. The elementary schools of tomorrow are now in the making. Today the profes- sion and the public are being subjected to unprecedented pres- sure to change the structure and even the purposes of our pub- lic schools. Each small decision we make has its bearing on the direction in which we shall go. I feel that the elementary schools are moving in a sound direction whenever we successfully apply one simple criterion while making our decisions. "Is this in the best interests of the children?"
At this time I wish to thank all those who in any way have helped us to carry on another successful year at Norwell Ele- mentary.
Respectfully submitted, ELLA F. OSBORN, Principal.
REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
Mr. Clifton E. Bradley
Superintendent of Schools
Norwell, Massachusetts
Dear Mr. Bradley:
Please accept my report as school physician, for 1959.
Physical examinations have been completed in the Senior and Junior High schools with the assistance of the school nurse and physical education teachers. The general health and phy- sical competence was excellent with very few exceptions.
Grades four and one were also examined and records brought up to date in both Elementary schools.
Health problems were discussed with the principals and notices sent to parents when indicated. Attendance has been good and contagion minimal.
The sanitation of the buildings and grounds is good.
All Physical education facilities will continue to be more inadequate as noted in my previous annual reports.
The Board of Health again effectively collaborated with im- munization clinics.
Respectfully submitted,
RAYMOND G. VINAL, M.D. School Physician

REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE
NORWELL SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAM
The Norwell School Lunch Program continues to operate on a Revolving Fund in spite of the increase in food costs and the fluctuating kinds of Surplus commodities made available by the Government. These commodities are very beneficial to the pro- gram, however, as we pay only a small fee on each item, plus a transportation charge. The allotment to each school is deter- mined by the average number of Type A lunches served to chil- dren a day; each item is expected to serve a given number of children a month.
We continue to follow the specific requirements for the Type A lunch and the Special Milk Program, and in turn are partial- ly reimbursed by the State and Federal Governments for all lunches and milk served to children.
A Field Supervisor from the State Office has visited our three cafeterias; the Auditors from the School Lunch Office have done a complete audit of the books, and a report has been sent to the Superintendent in both instances.
We have a very pleasant, willing and capable group of work- ers in our school cafeterias who appreciate your increased par- ticipation in this necessary program.
HAZEL W. ROBBINS
Cafeteria Supervisor
PRACTICAL ARTS CLASSES
The following Practical Arts adult evening classes were offered during the year 1958-1959: Sewing and Tailoring, under the instruction of Mrs. John P. McDonough; Rug Braiding, under the direction of Mrs. Margaret Brunette. Both these classes had maximum enrollment. Home Repairs was also offered, but due to lack of response was not held.
All courses are open to adult residents of the Town for a registration fee of fifty cents.
The list of courses offered by the State is available at the office of the School Superintendent. Any of these courses re- quested by twelve or more people may be offered in future pro- grams.
