Administration
How many members has the School Committee?
Three, one being elected each year.
What are their powers?
Individually, none; collectively, or by majority vote, they have absolute control, as representatives of the voters, over all questions relating to the conduct of the schools, not already covered by state law.
What are the duties of the School Committee?
127
It has entire control of the schools. It adopts the budget and determines how it shall be expended, elects all school employees, examines and approves all changes in school organization, courses of study, and changes in text-books. It authorizes all repairs and changes in the physical equipment of school buildings.
What are the duties of the Superintendent of Schools?
He is the advisory and executive officer employed by the Com- mittee, as an expert, to carry out all plans and policies of the Com- mittee. He acts for the Committee to make sure that the work of all its employees is carried on with promptness, efficiency, and economy. His duties are many more than these, but his general function is as stated. He is the first person who should be consulted on any question concerning any school activity. The Committee should only be asked to act as a final court of appeal from his decisions, thus conserving the time and energy of this unpaid body.
How many persons are regularly employed by the School Com- mittee?
1 Superintendent of Schools.
15 Teachers.
4 Supervisors-Drawing, Music, Sewing and Manual Training.
1 Nurse.
4 Janitors.
3 Bus Drivers.
1 School Physician.
1 Attendance Officer.
Buildings and Equipment
How many school buildings are in use?
1 of 8 rooms.
3 of 2 rooms.
1 of 1 room.
What is their general condition ?
They are in a good state of repair, and are kept so. None of them is of modern construction or planning. None is of fireproof con- struction.
What is the nature of the seating equipment?
All schools are now supplied with adjustable furniture for the pupils. Some of it is of an ancient pattern and gradually wearing out. All replacements are of the newest type. A number of discarded desks found in the attic of the Foster School are being repaired in the manual training shop and will be fitted with modern adjustable irons so as to serve as replacements for any worn or broken desks.
128
Are the buildings properly heated and ventilated ?
Yes, in all but the hallways of the Spaulding School. Here there seems to be some engineering difficulty. The heating equipment is adequate but it does not function properly. A serious endeavor was made during the Summer vacation towards remedying this defect, but as yet we have not been successful.
Financial Facts
How is the amount of money spent for education determined ?
By vote of the citizens in Town Meeting.
How can they know how much money to appropriate ?
The School Committee presents a carefully prepared budget which is to be found printed in this report of the School Committee. This budget is studied by the Finance Committee and their recommenda- tions are put before the voters when the article is presented for vote. It is then squarely up before the voters to determine what amounts the Committee shall have to work with. If it is inadequate, schools may be kept in session as long as the appropriation lasts and then closed. Should there be insufficient money to carry on for at least 162 days of school in the year, there is the possibility of drastic action from the State.
Is it possible to reduce school expenses ?
Not while the school population is increasing each year, especially in the grades attending high school. High school tuition is much greater than the cost for elementary pupils. It is not necessary in a town as well placed financially as Tewksbury.
What was the total cost of the schools in 1931?
$53,312.31 from an appropriation of $53,434.00.
What are the largest items in this expenditure?
Transportation, $9,453.25.
Tuition, High School, $10 838.76.
Instruction, $20,040.30. (Elementary teaching and supervision.)
Which of these must increase next year?
Transportation and high school tuition.
WHY?
Because of increase in number attending high school.
What is the total cost for high school education?
$15,400.74-For tuition and transportation during 1931.
This gives a per pupil cost of $136.28. The state average is $139.70.
What is the cost of elementary education ?
$37,911.57 for total cost for 1931.
This is a per pupil cost of $76.28.
How does this compare with the state-wide average? It is low for this particular item.
129
What is the average per pupil for both elementary and high schools ?
$87.56 as compared to $92 for the state average.
What is the cost per day to educate a child in the elementary grades ?
It cost in 1931 just 42 cents and a third per pupil per day. This includes everything, even transportation.
What is the cost per pupil-hour for teaching only?
For the current school year almost exactly 4 cents.
What is the annual cost per pupil for text books and supplies? The cost for this fiscal year was $3.50.
State Reimbursements
Is any part of the school expense paid by the State?
Yes, a very material part on account of teachers, high school tuition and transportation, and from the Massachusetts School fund.
Due in 1931 for:
High School Tuition $5,445.98
High School Transportation $4,116.70
General School Fund Pt. I $3,700.00
General School Fund Pt. II $1,210.69
Superintendent of Schools $ 630.00
$ 15,103.37
What was the net cost from local taxation?
The net cost was $38 208.94.
This gives a per pupil cost of almost exactly $60.00. for both high and elementary pupils.
Will an equal amount be available in 1932?
No, because the 1930 census shows more than 500 families in residence in the town, therefore we lose the refund on high school tuition and transportation, amounting to $9,562.68. Since, however, the reimbursement for 1931 has not yet been paid, this amount will be collectable in 1932.
General Observations
There are probably many other pertinent questions which an interested citizen might ask. I have tried to present and answer those which are most commonly propounded to school officials.
It is to be hoped that a greater number than usual of the voters will read this report. It contains information which should be of special interest and importance in these times when expenditures are so carefully scrutinized. It is the writer's opinion that the ex-
130
penditures of the school department will bear any examination with credit to the School Committee. They are ever watchful of payments and balances, and they know at each monthly meeting just what the financial condition of the department is.
Below and on following page will be found tables showing the nun- ber and distribution in the grades of the elementary school children of the town.

Heavy diagonal "step" outlines show age limits for the different grades under normal condition of entrance according to age. As an example, the age limits for grade one would be from five years and six months to seven years and six months.
UA and OA at the heads of the last two columns indicate respectively, the number of children younger than the norm for that grade and the num- ber older than the norm. In this connection please note that there is a dif- ference of too large proportions in favor of the under age pupils.
Attention is called to the very large eighth grade. This is worthy of special consideration because of its bearing on next year's budget. It means a much larger enrollment in high school and therefore greatly increased costs of tuition and transportation.
The total enrollment in the elementary grades shows an increase of approximately 6 per cent since the last report. Of course this means in- creased expenses.

Conclusion
Another year has passed marked by most felicitious relation be- tween the various departments of the school system. The School Committee has been most helpful to its executive, and all of the employes have shown a fine spirit of cooperation.
Respectfully submitted,
STEPHEN G. BEAN, Superintendent of Schools.
Wilmington, Mass. January 14, 1932.

REPORT OF SCHOOL PHYSICIAN
To the School Committee of the Town of Tewksbury:
The health of the school children under my care has been generally satisfactory.
Complete examination and record has been made of each child. We have had an epidemic of measles, and threatened scarlet fever situation to deal with. One situation which confronts the school physician and nurse, is the attendance at school of children known to be slightly ill, before starting for school in the morning. This situation is many times brought about by the child's denying illness, in order to keep up attendance and cannot be blamed to the parents. As school physician I want to ask first, that parents keep children at home who show signs of illness until they are normal again, or until the illness has been diagnosed and if contagious the school teacher notified. Secondly, so that the above recommendation can be more thoroughly carried out, I would ask that no prizes be offered or contests be entered into wherein attendance is at stake. If we may have the above recommendations closely adhered to, epidemics of communicable diseases will be easily controlled.
Respectfully submitted,
HERBERT M. LARRABEE, M. D., School Physician.

*Miss Small has taken over the position in the Shawsheen School which was vacated at Christmas Vacation by Miss Miriam Wiggin.
It is wholly fitting to express here the deep appreciation felt by those associated with her in school work, for her many excellent qualities of lead- ership, scholarship, friendliness, and high professional ethics. We are indeed unfortunate to lose a teacher of the type of that one known to us as Miss Wiggin. We are glad that it required as good a cause as matrimony to steal her from us.
Miss Thelma Gale and Miss Katherine Sullivan are also teachers new to the staff this current year.
Ill health forced Mr. Garland, janitor of Foster School, to give up the work during the past year. Mr. Walter Lavell has been made his successor. He has taken on the work in a very earnest and competent manner. He shows pride in the appearance of both buildings and grounds.
