REPORT OF ATTENDANCE SUPERVISOR FOR 1932


Mr. Adelbert L. Safford, Supt.


Reading Public Schools


Reading, Mass.


Dear Mr. Safford :


You have requested a report from me concerning the attendance of children in the schools for the year ending December 31, 1932. I present such a report herewith.


As I have done for years past I have continued in 1932 a daily check-up of attendance with the daily reports from each school of any cases which seem to need special attention. I have made many home visits and written many letters, record of which visits and letters I have kept. In addition I have an alphabetically arranged record of all cases involved. Careful investigation has been made wherever it seemed required of individual cases, with recourse often to the Town Welfare visitor, Miss Helen Brown, the district nurses, the local churches and pastors, the local police, and many other social service agencies. I work in close co-operation with the school nurses and the other super- visory members of the school department and consider the teachers. have helped me in a very satisfactory manner. Space is too limited and costs too much to give details of cases which have been handled in this department this year, but, with the help of various other agencies and people, we can report preventive or remedial measures taken wherever it has been necessary. We have dealt with delinquent children, depraved home conditions, unworthy parents, but we have also found much to encourage us in our contacts with the homes of Reading. Naturally, the teachers are not reporting to me the children who are on time, who are there every day, and who give them no trouble. Most of the time of this supervisory agency is spent with the misfits, mentally unfit, those living under poor or immoral conditions, or those unfortunate children who for one reason or another need the help of others to ad- just to their environment. I find that the school nurses and the guidance teachers, as well as Miss Wadleigh, also spend a good deal of their time on the same people whom I am called upon to look after. There are a number of families in Reading which are not giving the children the opportunities they have a right to expect. In some we find co-operation. In others, with every agency we can muster work- ing, we find very little to work upon. In every instance we are doing the best we can to better conditions.


Our records showed, at the end of October 1932, 2,268 children in our schools, divided as follows: Senior High, 540; Junior High, 547; Highland, 5th and 6th, III, II, and Opportunity, 438; Center, 211; Union Street, 159; Lowell Street, 143; Prospect Street, 168; Chestnut Hill, 62. Our enrollment last year about the same time was 2,249, so raising the


98


entrance age and having no 9th grade pupils here from North Reading apparently has not helped to decrease our numbers very much. The truth is that Reading is growing all the time and new pupils are coming in in all grades. All schools are crowded and teachers are working at top speed to give the children the individual attention for which Read- ing schools are noted. We all note in the children a restlessness which seems widespread. It is a reflection of the strain of the times which we must all meet as best we can.


The annual school census has not as yet been completed. I have assurance from Mr. Dixon that he will send his history class or some pupils selected from those groups on a house-to-house canvass, making of it a project that he can correlate with their school work, and in this way we can find out many things we need to know to check our records of residents of the town between the ages of five years and twenty-one.


Working certificates have been issued through this department, as in the past, but to only about 50% as many young people in 1932. There are out of school very few of school age and in school many between sixteen and twenty-one who legally may be out if they wish. There are a number of cases of children unable to attend school on account of feeble-mindedness, for whom in at least two cases we are anxiously awaiting word that admission to a state institution is pos- sible. The waiting lists for these schools are long and we must have patience. There are a few children unable to attend school on account of their health and two or three who have left to work, where it has been legal for them to do so, but, in the main, Reading children are in school with good records of attendance, behavior, and school work.


Respectfully submitted, ABIGAIL H. MINGO,


Supervisor of Attendance.


REPORT OF THE SCHOOL CAFETERIAS FOR 1932


In accordance with the custom of past years, I am submitting for your information and approval the following report of the activities of the school cafeterias for the year ending December 31, 1932:


We started the year with about the same policies and the same personnel as in 1931, realizing that we had a hard pull ahead of us and a strong probability of further diminishing receipts. We have not been disappointed nor yet discouraged but, without the co-operation of loyal workers, undoubtedly 1932 would have spelled disaster for us. How- ever, we have managed to pay nearly all the bills and have on hand about $180 worth of goods. We have taken in and deposited $12,142.17 and paid out $12,199.64 for salaries, food, equipment, and miscellaneous supplies. We carried over in our checking account from 1931 $71.50. Our checking account balance this year is only $14.03. We have about


99


$200 in bills unpaid which we fully expect to clear up during January. We have paid out from our very small savings account, accumulated in 1929, about $140 for repairs and equipment in the High School cafe- teria. This included buying and installing a new gas range of the heavy duty type and rebuilding the cabinets and building a work table under them. This savings account stands at $82.57 at present and at no time has been above $356. In 1930 we had to draw upon it to finish pay- ing for different items at the close of the school year. We hope to be able at some time to put back what we have drawn out because we like to feel that we have something for emergencies. In 1933 we hope to install a new gas range in the Highland school and do some cleaning up and painting there where it is necessary.


This coming year I am taking back into my own hands the actual bookkeeping and accounting connected with the lunch rooms. All bills are paid by check and a set of books accurately setting forth receipts and disbursements of each cafeteria is kept. These books have been in the hands of an outside person for two or three years, at a small expense to the lunches. We will save that amount this year because I receive no salary from the lunches myself and can include it in my other duties in connection with the school department.


In connection with the salaries paid to the workers I would like to say that for over a year they have been receiving less money than formerly, inasmuch as they have had to lose their pay every day when there has been no school, for whatever reason the sessions have been omitted. For instance, at Thanksgiving time we served lunches only two days and that meant only two days' pay because there was no money available to pay more. This has happened right along now for over a year and if anyone thinks the cafeteria employees are in a "preferred" class, he is mistaken. They were among the first to feel the pinch and receive a cut and there may be more of a cut in salaries because we cannot pay out what we do not receive. Some school em- ployees, the janitors for instance, are paid for 52 weeks of the year. These workers never receive pay for more than 36 or 37 weeks at the most.


During 1933 I hope to plan and economize even more, so that we may have a better financial report to offer. I do not apologize for the service or the quality of the food the lunches have served at any time. With very few exceptions this has been excellent in both instances. If at any time during the year it appears that we cannot go on without a serious deficit piling up, I realize that in order to best take care of the matter, it must be brought to the attention of the School Com- mittee in ample time for them to decide whether or not this lunch ser- vice under existing conditions is something we can continue. Reading has never subsidized its lunch rooms so that children could buy food below cost. I do not believe this should be done. It has a tendency


100


to make children and adults too think they can get something for noth- ing and that is bad psychology. I feel that the cafeterias should pay their way as they have done in the past and that, unless things become much worse than they are now, this can be done.


Respectfully submitted, ABIGAIL H. MINGO, Manager of School Cafeterias.


REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF RESEARCH AND ELEMENTARY SUPERVISION, 1932


Mr. Adelbert L. Safford,


Superintendent of Schools,


Reading, Massachusetts.


My dear Mr. Safford :


I present herewith a report of the Department of Research and Guidance for the year ending December 1931.


The testing program, individual adjustments, promotions and ability grouping have followed the routine of past years. Emphasis this year has been on Remedial Work in Arithmetic, Reading and Spelling and Curriculum construction in the field of Social Studies.


Promotion and Placement


We had 50% less retardation in June 1931 than in 1930 and a smaller percentage than in previous years. This shows the results of care- ful educational guidance of the children in our schools. They are kept from the stigma of failure by having their needs promptly recognized and treated at the time they arise during the year by means of teacher co-operation, and tests followed by remedial work outlined by the Director.


The following statistics show figures and definite reasons for such cases of retardation as we were forced to make:


Grade I-13 Pupils who did not complete Unit IV due to absence, illness, and immaturity.


Grade I1%-10 Partial Promotion to 11/2. Did Unit III. Will begin Unit IV and become a low II before end of year.


Grade II-6 Definite failure to work satisfactorily.


Grade III-7 Work Habits, Attendance, Late Entrance, Limited Ability.


Grade IV-3 Two cases of poor health. One case transferred to Special Class.


Grade V-6 Limited ability; Poor effort.


Grade VI-1 Poor health and attendance.


Total 46. Including 11/2 pupils.


Note that exactly one half of our repeaters were in Grade I: pupils


101


who were under age and required a longer preparation period for school work than the average child.


Out of an enrollment of 1190 in June 1931 this gives a retardation percent of 3.8. Eliminating the 11/2 group the figures would run 10 lower or 3%. When we compare our retardation of 3.8% with the average for the State, 13%, we have very definite proof of the economic value of careful child-accounting, promotions and placements handled by a central office.


Raising the entrance age to 5 years and 6 months gave us a slightly more mature entering class this year in September. The numbers were 60 pupils less than last October. The present school enrollment, Octo- ber 1, 1932, is listed below:

Remedial Work

The reduced number of repeaters is largely due to the carefully planned remedial instruction given to those pupils in each grade who for some reason or other have failed to master the essentials of the grade work required for further progress.


Pupils needing remedial instruction are determined in several ways, but more commonly by teachers reporting unsatisfactory work to the Supervisor, by a careful study of the quarterly report cards for each pupil, and pupil failures on survey tests in fundamentals. These pupils are given individual diagnosis and placed in a class or group where they can receive extra help and attention to their needs.


Last year stress in remedial work was placed on Arithmetic. This year it is largely confined to Reading and Spelling disabilities. We are fortunate to have the expert advice of Dr. Donald Durrell of the Boston University Clinic for treatment of Reading disabilities.

Testing Program


The drive on Arithmetic fundamentals in Grades 4, 5 and 6 in 1931 resulted in very high test scores in April and June.


The Stanford Achievement tests in. Arithmetic in April gave the following results :

6 months


The Schorling-Clark-Potter Arithmetic tests in Fundamentals in June gave unusually high median results of Grade V: 7.0, exceeded norm by 11 months; Grade VI: 8.2, exceeded norm by 13 months.


Reading and Spelling tests showed a steady improvement in all grades. In Grades 2, 3, 4, Reading tested from 2 to 4 points higher than the national norm. Progress in all subjects was markedly even.


This year we have renewed the 1929 drive on the 100 Spelling Demons in Grade IV. This includes a list of 100 words commonly used in composition work which are most frequently mispelled. The drive on the first 50 words was checked by tests December 15 with a high average of 94% for the entire .4th grade in the town. The final test on the 100 words is scheduled for February 1. The best spellers as measured by the test are to participate in a Spelling Bee sponsored by the Parent Teachers' Association February 13.


Curriculum Research


The emphasis in curriculum making this year is on the revision and reorganization of the course of study in the Social or Content Sub- jects of Geography, History, and Citizenship in Grades I through VI.


In the first four grades we are carrying on for the third year the Unit plan of instruction which combines and integrates the informa- tions required for each grade in geography, history, citizenship, health, and safety, into Units of Work centering around social-civic interests and given expression through pupil activities.


The following outline shows the Units assigned to each of the first four grades :

In Grade IV in addition to the Citizenship outline we have the priv- ilege of using for the first time the Social Science course made by Dr. Howard Wilson of Harvard Graduate School of Education.


This course includes both History and Geography. It is being personally supervised by Dr. and Mrs. Wilson. Both the teachers and

the children have given enthusiastic response to the course and the new texts supplied gratis by Dr. Wilson.


The Social Science Curriculum Committee consists of Mr. Imrie Dixon of the Social Science Department of the Senior High School, Mr. J. M. Woodbridge of the Social Science Department of the Junior High School, with the Elementary teachers of Geography and History as sub-committees. Our aim is to have a twelve-year course of study based on accepted social objectives, fitted to the needs of Reading children, which compares favorably in subject matter with those for other localities, and which will be economical in materials and time for administering.


The Curriculum building of the past three years has given us definite standards and uniformity of requirements in all subjects for each grade. This is the chief reason for the more uniform and higher test results.


Classes for Special Instruction


One of the first steps in the economy program was the elimination of one of the elementary groups of the special class. This combined the Primary and Elementary section into a class of 19 pupils requiring special instruction.


In June we were able to transfer six pupils into straight grades and one to the Junior High section of the Special Class.
