Only children of grades three and four and repeaters of grade two were eligible and only children of normal and high intelligence were accepted. Each child who came was given a careful diagnosis of Reading, Spelling and Handwriting as well as all psychological and physiological traits which might handicap him. Before school opened in the fall Dr. Durrell returned to Miss Wadleigh a master record of each pupil's case with complete directions for teaching him. The most of the pupils were candidates for remedial groups and the teach- ers of those groups deserve much credit for accepting the challenge. Miss Thackleberry, Miss Brann, teachers of Remedial groups in Grades VI and V respectively, Mrs. Potter, English teacher Grade V, and Miss Winchester, who has a remedial group of sixteen in her class group of 45 at Lowell Street, have joined Dr. Durrell's course this fall to learn how to administer the tests and follow-up remedial treat- ment. Miss Helen Donnelly who did her master's degree work under Dr. Durrell, has charge of the large remedial class at the Center School. These teachers have the benefit of Professor Durrell's personal su- pervision of their work in their classrooms. With this remedial set-
117
up we are gaining results of which we are justly proud. It is largely due to our able and conscientious classroom teachers that they are procured.
Besides the help to individual pupils gained by the clinic the grouped findings of 48 pupils in three grades gave us a fair picture of the strengths and weaknesses of our entire reading system. On this basis we therefore organized a campaign to capitalize those strengths and eliminate the weaknesses in so far as it is humanly possible. We have made these grouped findings basal in revising our reading units for this year.
We are very fortunate indeed to have the assistance of Professor Durrell in the work of our schools as he is a recognized specialist in the field of Reading and Child Psychology and his recently devised reading test has no equivalent in the educational field.
In summarizing the work and progress of the Research department I find that we have cause to be very grateful to the nearby universi- ties for guidance and assistance. We owe a great deal to those teach- ers who in spite of salary cuts and additional economical burdens are still attending courses at Harvard and Boston University.
If our endeavors in curriculum making and co-operative research have had no other result than to enlist the teachers in wholehearted co-operation in the enterprise they have been worth all the time we have given to them. It is not easy for the classroom teacher to find time or energy at the end of a full teaching day to give to research but our teachers have attended frequent teachers' conferences uncom- plainingly and have contributed much original creative work. Best of all they show an appreciation of the big task we are trying to achieve. Test Summaries :
I would like to include in my report a graph showing the improve- ment in Grade I reading since 1928 due to a more enriched basal read- ing system and the higher Mental and Chronological ages of children as well as firmer promotion standards.
In 1927-1928 we had 92 children under five years mental age who were expected to complete Grade I in one year. In spite of partial promotion and intensive remedial they will always be handicapped by their poor start. In 1929 and 1930 half our Grade I pupils were under 5-2 and 5-3 mental age respectively. By the dint of exceedingly good teaching we somehow passed half the class. In 1931 and 1932 we re- peated more pupils and by chance drew a class with a slightly higher mental age average. As a result we exceeded by 4 points the end of year norm. In 1933 after the committee had raised the entrance age to 5 years 6 months, we had a selected group with an average Mental Age of 6-5. We had an end of year achievement norm of 30 which is way beyond any expectations or previous records. The same tests

were employed in this study year after year and administered by the same person and no changes in teaching staff had occurred. It there- fore shows convincingly that, given the pupils of a physical and mental maturity qualifying them for school work, our teaching methods and reading system are more than adequate. They are superior.
No two children learn at the same rate, and the first year in school brings more adjustments to the child than any other. He must go through four definite stages of reading: Reading Readiness, Pre- Primer, Primer and First grade work. If absence, illness, or social maladjustment handicaps him it should not be considered any dis- grace for a first year child to repeat. Statistics show that on the average 25 per cent of first grade children have to take more than one year. We have kept our percentage down to 10 per cent in Reading in this grade which is low.
In case our pupils do not complete the four units required for first grade they begin at the Unit on which they left off the preced- ing year. Repetition of the first two Units is rarely necessary.
Below is a table showing the standards of our grades in April 1933 in fundamental subjects of Reading, Spelling and Arithmetic.

Note that Reading in the lower grades tests high. Arithmetic also far exceeds the norm in each grade. Spelling, however, is below norm in each grade except Grade V. This better result in this grade is probably due to the special remedial drive in that subject. Grade V in 1933, 10 Grade VI, is an outstandingly well prepared grade in every subject.
The lower total i Educational Grade in Grades IV and VI are caused by lack of adequate informative material. We have concluded from previ ,fis years' testings that Reading children in intermediate grides need to be better informed in Social Sciences, Science and Literature. It is to that end that so much intensive research is being done in building una curriculum which will supply those necessary hier mation. Glios in test scores in these particular subjects show that File in procenent has already been made in these fields.

Child Accounting :
Below is the Age Grade Table followed by the Table of pupil-teach- er placement checked for October 2, 1933. Substantial increases in numbers have been made since these figures were compiled as school en- rollment is constantly increasing in Reading. These figures show the pupil load is greater in the Lowell Street School. Grade I in that school reached a mark of 47 pupils in October which is much too large a number for that grade where we should give so much individual assist- ance. We were fortunate to receive the able services of Miss Mary Hall, a June graduate of Gorham Normal School, who is teaching full time for no pay. We fitted up a temporary classroom for Miss Hall in the corridor. Before the advent of the Salem Normal cadet teachers she assisted Miss Winchester part of the day. But since November first she teaches both sessions in Grade I. Her assistance to Miss Burgess is deeply appreciated.
Redistricting pupils has been a constant job in this department this year. First, pupils had to be selected for a new elementary room at the Junior High School. North Main Street bus children were the pupils chosen as well as the pupils living on Temple Street, Glen Road, and Morgan Park, in close proximity to the Junior High School. This took part of the load off the always crowded Prospect Street School as as well as the Center and Lowell Street Schools.
Another redistricting had to be made in October to avoid having Grade I children cross the square to the Union Street School. Mrs. Copeland was assigned to the small selected group of Highland district pupils at the Center School and Mrs. Mathieson was transferred with a group of Grade II pupils to Union Street. The arrangement is working out better than we expected owing to the experienced teachers who make up as far as possible for deficiencies in room situations.
We are guarding the solidarity of the Grade III and IV Unit at the Center School which makes possible the small remedial room ,neces- sary for carrying out our educational policies. With the unit of Grade V and VI at the Highland School and the large Grade I and II at the Union Street School we have an ideal set-up for administration of the three-track school program for which our ability grouping and curriculum making is planned.
It looks as if a critical situation might arise in another year if the influx of pupils into the Lowell and Center districts increase, Those schools are already accommodating the pupils of the Highland district Grades I to IV. Saturation point has been reached in our housing situation. In fairness to pupils and teachers, additional room space should be opened up for the Highland district and North Main Street pupils before another year.

In summarizing the work of the department for the year 1933 I am impressed with the fact that in spite of the depression, political un- ease and critical attitude of the world at large toward modern school practices we have gone on to such solid achievements and kept a measure of security and wholesome atmosphere in the daily lives of our school children.
School has to be the place where the children shall know the warmth, sympathy, optimism and care which is their birthright. Most of all it must be the one place where the child can feel security in this state of unrest and deprivation in the homes. School and the teach- er must be held in reverence and respect for they make up the entire world for the average school child. Bcause of that, the harm result- ing to the child's mental health from overhearing adverse discussions of schools, taxes and depression situations cannot be overestimated.
In this report to you, Mr. Safford, I take the opportunity to say that we teachers fully realize that without your broad and sympathetic leadership we could never have accomplished what we have. Without your optimism and protection from the blare of political argument and unfair criticism we could not go on as we have with our minds free from emotional coloring, undiscouraged and unprejudiced by the false propaganda that everywhere exists.
I am voicing the opinion of the entire elementary teaching staff in expressing our gratitude for the truly democratic leadership you have given us, embodying first of all, freedom to carry out our own ideas for improving our practices so long as we do not go too far afield, un- hampered by autocratic domination and always sure of receiving full credit and unstinted commendation for our creative enterprises, what- ever they are. To work under your supervision, Mr. Safford, is to grow ever toward the ideals of Education for realizing the full extent of one's powers.
The Reading public school system is wholly an expression of your vision and sound and unchanging educational policy from which you have never swerved or allowed your teachers to depart. It has been my privilege as Director of Research to translate into practice much of this fundamental policy for seven full years ending December 1933. May I say that there has never been a minute of that time when I have not been inspired by the hope of greater things to achieve and justly proud of the endeavors and practices of our able teaching staff, as well as of the loyalty and co-operation of the special department heads who combine to form the Reading Public Schools.
Respectfully submitted, VERNA L. WADLEIGH
Director of Research and Guidance
