REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE


To the Citizens of the Town of Reading :


In the interest of economy, the School Committee is asked to con- dense its reports and to omit the printing of the detail of expenditures. These figures are compiled and are available to any who may be in- terested in them.


The Committee has lived within its budget and has turned back to the Town Treasury at the end of the year unexpended balances as follows :


On Salary Account $1,531.30


On General Account 3,339.31


On Agricultural Account 1,032.22


Total


$5,902.83


The school situation differs from business. In times of depression, business is slack and personnel is reduced because it is not needed. But with depression, school enrollment increases. In other words, as gen- eral conditions grow bad, the business of the school booms.


General conditions have made economies necessary. The Com- mittee has tried to apply economies where they would adversely effect the smallest numbers. The budget for 1932 was $7200 less than that of 1931. In addition to the unexpended balance turned back to the Town, teachers and other employees of the department have made voluntary contributions of $7,675.98 to the welfare work of the Town. These three items represent over $20,000,-direct savings to the tax payers during the year from the School Department. In addition to this, the Department has housed and cared for an increase of seventy-nine in enrollment, which normally would mean an increased expense.


The task of decreasing costs without injury to increased enrollment is a painful process, that must result in inconvenience and discomfort to some. During the year the entrance age was raised, books and supplies cut down, the limits of free transportation for children ex- tended, some positions abolished and the teaching load increased. The Town generally has been considerate of changes that became necessary. The teaching force has been loyal and devoted. Results seem to indi- cate that curtailments have not thus far injured the morale of the system or the product turned out by the schools. For the coming year the Committee has agreed upon a plan for uniform salary reductions throughout all departments of the Town. Some inconsistencies will probably develop, which the Committee will try to adjust as they appear.


86


A lowering of the standards of education presents problems that must be studied carefully. Youth has but one chance for education and mistakes are costly and lasting for the youth on whom hasty ex- periments are tried. The Committee realize that the next few years require careful study of curriculum and procedures. It asks for the continued interest of the Town in the finances of the department and in the education of the children.


The terms of Carl M. Spencer and Laura S. Gordon expire in March.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS, 1932


To the Honorable, the School Committee


of Reading, Massachusetts :


I submit herewith the fortieth annual report of the Superintendent of the Reading Public Schools. This is my twentieth annual report in that capacity.


The serious financial crisis and unemployment throughout the United States in 1931 has been increased in severity in the year 1932 which has been marked by unprecedented conditions resulting from business depression and bank failures, decrease in governmental re- ceipts from taxes and other revenues, and enormous requirements for providing food, clothing, and shelter for unemployed whose private re- sources have become exhausted. This situation has made necessary drastic reduction in governmental expenditures, including the support of education which is the first duty of a state in order to protect itself and increase the security and prosperity of its citizens.


As the financial condition of Reading is relatively excellent, it has not been affected as badly as have some other places in Massachusetts, but a policy of retrenchment was entered upon in the administration of the Reading schools at the beginning of the year 1932 and further adjustments to reduce the cost of education are now in process or con- templation for accomplishment in the near future. In each of these retrenchments the school system has suffered some loss of efficiency and restriction of the scope of its services but earnest effort has been made to adopt only those measures that would involve the least loss


87


to the children and the least disruption of the fundamentals of the necessary educational procedures.


Retrenchments


The minimum age of entrance to the first grade was raised seven months so that the pupil now must be five years old on or before April first preceding his entrance instead of being five on or before Novem- ber first following entrance in September. This made possible the dismissal of two first grade teachers, effecting an annual saving in salaries of $2,000 to $3,000. Two classes for retarded pupils were dis- continued, releasing two teachers at a yearly saving of $3,000. The special teacher of physical education in the primary grades was dis- continued at a saving of $1,300. Miss Page retired from the Junior High School at a salary of $1,900 and her duties were distributed among other members of the staff by reducing the time devoted to pupil guidance. The time given to music in the Junior High School was reduced from the full time of a teacher to half-time, saving about $850. One clerk was dispensed with, saving about $700. In recent years about four additional · teachers annually have been provided to take care of the increase in the number of pupils due to growth in population. Owing to inability to get work, fewer pupils have left the Junior High School and the Senior High School during the year and an unprecedented number of graduates of the Senior High School (38) returned for post-graduate study. Notwithstanding this unusual in- crease of pupils in addition to normal growth, no provision was made for additional teachers. The size of class groups was increased suf- ficiently to absorb the increase of pupils. This made a saving of $5,000 to $7,000 yearly depending on whether experienced teachers or beginners were employed and other variable factors. The increase of pupils in the Junior High School was off-set in part by the withdrawal of ninth grade pupils in that school (35) who have heretofore come from North Reading. This entailed a loss of $4,410 yearly in tuition. The reduc- tion in annual cost of the Junior High School that can be made on ac- count of the withdrawal of the ninth grade pupils coming from North Reading amounts to less than $2,000: the cost of one woman teacher and of the text-books and supplies for thirty-five pupils. Another re- trenchment that seemed to me more questionable than any other was the withholding of the annual increase of teachers that had not reached the maximum salary. Some places have made the annual increases and then made such general reduction of salaries as it has been found necessary to meet budget requirements. This would seem to be more just to those that have not reached the maximum salaries under the general salary schedule. There were twenty-three teachers entitled to the increase which usually goes into effect in September and the cost would have amounted to $862.50 for the balance of the year 1932 or $2,300 for a full year. Now that a salary reduction has been effected


88


tc begin January 1, 1933, it would seem fair that some adjustment should be made for those not having reached the maximum. I think the increments due them should be added before the "13% of the am- ount of salary in excess of $500" is deducted.


Before the summer of 1932 the Reading Teachers Club contributed voluntarily $685.75 to the town welfare fund. From August 1, 1932 all town employees contributed ten percent of their salaries. The amount given by employees of the school committee amounted to $6,990.23 under the ten percent plan, making a total of $7,675.98 altogether contributed by school employees. A balance of $1,531.30 on the appropriation for salaries was unexpended at the end of 1932 and was left in the town treasury.


Besides retrenchments in salaries substantial reductions have been made in maintenance. A reduction of one-half cent per ride in the rate for transportation was obtained, saving about $4 per day, or $720 a year. The net reduction amounted to $555.67 below the figures for 1931 owing to the increase in enrollment and adjustment of distances transported. In 1932 the amount spent for textbooks was $2,947.78 less than in 1931; for supplies $1,854.61 less than in 1931; administrative expense $509.53 less than in 1931; fuel $897.23 less than in 1931; building maintenance $1,124.86 less than in 1931; repairs $3,362.49 less than in 1931. The total savings in these items is $11,252.17. In three items, insurance, tuition in truant school and apparatus for teaching, the expenditures for 1932 were in excess of 1931, reducing the net savings over 1931 to $10,451.94 in general maintenance.


The necessity of modifying the school organization to reduce ex- penses has occasioned a large number of proposals with varying mo- tives : some are bent only on reducing taxes; some are dominated by consideration of the welfare and convenience of the pupils; some have regard for the school system as an important asset of the town to be safe-guarded; some are striving to take advantage of a period of changes to promote personal likes and dislikes with reference to par- ticular features without regard to the total effect on the Reading School System, as an agency for educating the children efficiently.


The retrenchments and changes that have been effected thus far have not seriously disorganized the operation of the schools nor de- stroyed the morale of the teaching force. Both, of necessity, have been somewhat disturbed, however. But, during the past twenty years, the schools, taken as a whole, have never been doing better work or getting better results than at the present time. The paramount duty of the citizens of the town is to maintain this integrity of its schools. There is grave danger that ill-considered changes may destroy all the gains that have been made. President Glenn Frank of the University of Wisconsin published recently in the Wisconsin Journal of Education his views of the perils and responsibilities of the present situation with


89


respect to education. The following is quoted from his statement :


"A sword hangs over education in Wisconsin and throughout the nation. To prevent that sword from sinking to the vitals of the whole enterprise of education, builded of the blood and sacrifice of pioneers, will demand the utmost of statesmanlike co-operation between the leadership of school and leadership of society. That economy, drastic beyond anything we have been accustomed to think is imperative, no intelligent man will question. It is confessedly a critical situation that confronts us. But the blame for the large proportion of the national income now going into taxes cannot justly be placed upon social and educational leadership but must, to a very material degree, be placed squarely upon the shoulders of economic leadership that proved in- capable of steering our economic ship past the shoals of depression. Upon the fact of the imperative necessity for economy in public ex- penditures, there can be no disagreement. I insist only that the situ- ation challenges us to effect that economy with statesmanlike foresight for the future of the community, state and nation. It is possible to be quite as shortsighted in administering economy as in allowing ex- travagance. Real economy may mean national salvation. Bogus economy may mean national suicide. In the achievement and ad- ministration of real economy, every responsible school man must stand ready to co-operate with the leadership of community, state and na- tion. But even so utterly sincere and statesmanlike a facing of the challenge to real economy may leave the future of education seriously endangered throughout the nation. It will not be enough to foster real economy. Bogus economy must be fought, not to save their own skins or to safeguard their salaries but to discharge their responsibilities to the American future. Educators must be willing to put their breasts to the guns in the battle against bogus economy. There is under way a high-powered drive, national in scope and manned by able leaders who are determined to slash the national bill for education at any cost. There are groups which have always been opposed to adequate sup- port for education who are now taking advantage of the real necessity for economy and the epidemic of fear to achieve their niggardly and anti-social objective which is bent upon taking advantage of the time to slash the heart out of education in the cold interests of their pocket- books. There is, make no mistake about it, an organized drive of national scope to cut educational support below anything that even this difficult time requires. If the bewildered friends of education are not enlightened, the propagandists will be able to get away with a high- handed scuttling of the educational ship. Now, if ever, is the time to make manifest to all the central significance of a creative education in the life of a great people."


Reports of Supervisors and Principals


Important matters are treated in the reports of the special super-


.


90


visors and principals. It is important to vacate as soon as practicable the school rooms at the Senior High School now occupied by the School Committee and supervisory officers. The rooms are needed for class use. Somewhat drastic retrenchments have heen made in the teaching force in the Junior High School which will reduce the cost per pupil materially. The reduction in teachers' salaries on January 1, 1933, to- gether with enlarging the size of classes, will effect a considerable de- crease in cost per pupil throughout the town. The teachers in the elementary schools have lower salaries, lower costs for textbooks and supplies, and larger classes. These factors all reduce the cost per pupil but there is a point of diminishing returns from these measures when the cost of the pupils failing to be promoted and obliged to repeat the grade more than offset the reductions. Besides, failure to be promoted always brings discouragement and other bad effects in the pupils' prog- ress through school. It is extremely important that the early years of a child's work in school should be satisfactorily accomplished in order to establish right attitudes toward school, efficient habits of study, and a firm foundation of tool knowledge requisite for the suc- cessful pursuit of higher branches. More and more educationalists are stressing the significance of the early years of a child's life in deter- mining his future career. More attention should be given and better provisions should be made with respect to the education of the young child.


I wish to thank all who have co-operated with me in the difficult tasks that have confronted the schools in the past year. I feel that no work could be more important than preparing the on-coming gen- eration for the great task that confronts them.
