REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE
Citizens of Westford:
We submit our annual report together with reports of the execu tives of important school activities.
There still continues to be an increase in the number of pupils attending the Elementary and High Schools. When the Elementary Schools opened this Fall there were more pupils entering than had been anticipated. This resulted in crowded conditions in some of the schools, especially the Nabnassett School. This also made too many pupils for the teacher in some instances and to relieve the situa- tion children under five years, six months of age were sent home. Due to fact that children had started school it was decided to allow all children who were five years of age at the beginning of school to return. There was also a ruling made that at the beginning of school in September, 1931, all children entering school shall be five years and six months on or before the opening of school. The first grade at the Sar- gent School was so large that it was necessary to obtain an additional teacher.
There was also an additional teacher obtained for the Sargent School so that the seventh and eighth grade could have the same amount of instruction as the other grades.
Grades seven and eight from the Nabnassett School have been transported to Westford. The eighth grades of the Nabnassett and Frost Schools were combined and by so doing the eighth grades in all the schools are obtaining the same amount of instruction.
There was an additional teacher obtained for the Wm. E. Frost School after combining the eighth grades of the Nabnassett and Wm. E. Frost Schools.
The enrollment of the schools will increase next year and it will require the services of another teacher and will also increase the costs. We have considered very carefully the needs of our schools for the year 1931 and have kept our budget to the lowest possible figure. We ask for the sum of $71,500 to maintain the schools for 1931.
Respectfully submitted,
ALBERT G. FORTY,
Chairman.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the School Committee and Citizens of Westford:
I herewith submit my fourth annual report as Superintendent of the Westford Public Schools.
Two laboratory tables, costing nearly $1,000.00, have been in- stalled at the Academy. These, the gift of the Trustees of the Academy, are very much appreciated. They help materially in making our labora- tory as well equipped as any High School laboratory.
At the opening of school in September there were crowded con- ditions in the first grades of the Sargent, Frost, and Nabnassett Schools. To remedy this it became necessary either to raise the entering age of children from five years to five years and six months of age, or to increase the teaching staff. Since several children five years of age had already entered school it was decided to increase the teaching force. But a vote was passed by the School Committee that beginning September 1931 the entering age for grade one of the Westford Public Schools will be five years and six months of age on the date that school opens in September.
A helping teacher was secured for grade I at the Sargent School. At the Frost School there have been two grades in a room. Grade eight was transferred to the Academy. Grade one was given a room by itself and the other grades placed two in a room in the following order-Grades II-III, room 2; grades IV-V, room 3; and grades VI- VII, room 4. There have been four grades and one teacher in each room at the Nabnassett School. Grades seven and eight are being transported to the Center at a cost of $1.30 per day thus leaving three grades in each room at the Nabnassett School. This has relieved both teachers and has helped in this way to improve the instruction. It is evident that with several grades in one room a teacher cannot give as much attention to each grade as a teacher can who has only one grade.
There were forty nine pupils enrolled in grades seven and eight at the Sargent School in September. This was too much of a problem for one teacher to satisfactorily prepare the pupils in grade eight for the High School so another teacher was secured to relieve this con- dition and the grades were separated.
The teaching in grades V, VI, VII, and VIII of the Cameron and Sargent Schools and grades VI, VII, and VIII of the Frost School is being conducted on the departmental plan.
In November and December the State Department of Public Health gave the Von Pirquet Test for tuberculosis to those children whose parents requested it. Four hundred seventy-three children were tested and one hundred forty-six were X-Rayed. The object of this test is to find how many if any of our pupils were fighting tuberculosis.

I realize that all members of our community are desirous of the well-being of our schools. Perhaps it is well to pause and think of the relationship of progress in school systems to progress in other fields of work.
Recent years have witnessed the development of a new competi- tion. It shows itself in group action-the ice industry in competition with mechanical refrigeration, cement with lumber, coal with oil; and both with gas. It has likewise made its appearance in rather unex- pected lines in recent months. Slack times resulted in the survival of the fittest. There is the weeding out process going on in business and industry-a period of slack business and low industry production has necessitated the laying off of employees. There is. therefore, the com- petition among employees based upon their ability or capacity for work. This low employment period has been generally used to raise the general standards of employees. The less efficient ones have been the first to go.
In general business this is a buyers' market. The competition is among the producers and the retailers to sell. During the World War there was a sellers' market. Then there was competition among the buyers to secure products. In like degree, there is now an employers' market-it is a situation where the competition is among employees to get work rather than among business and industry to get help.
A quality product still commands a price and quality service does likewise. The greatest competition among employees is in the cheaper grade of help. One of the ways to lessen the unemployment problem is to decrease the number in that group recognized as the less effi- cient or the less skilled class. The individual in the labor group has been recognizing this situation and has been making heroic efforts to remedy his own situation. However, the ultimate remedy lies in an appreciation on the part of the public of the importance of adequate training for any job, no matter how humble.
Charity will not remedy the situation. neither will unemployment insurance nor the dole. Fundamentally, it rests with adequate train- ing for future needs. The schools are ready and eager to function. The new competition is in educational training-the competition among young people to better prepare themselves for these tasks.
The saturation point in education has not been reached and will not be reached until such time as the load of unemployment is transferred from the lower group to the higher. There are few jobs that do not require the mind to function as well as the muscle. The standard for employees established by employers is going up-not down. The public school is the one agency that can be instrumental in meeting this change.
Progress, the result of growth, is stimulating. It is energizing- it is satisfying. Youth is pulsating with that spirit. It must be on the move. It must be going somewhere. When properly directed and en- couraged, it produces growth. No half way effort will suffice. Herein is the function of the schools. It transplants the child from an aimless activity outside of school to a motivated work within. It transplants from purposeless progress without to purposeful progress within. It transplants from impulsive interests without to impelling interests within. It substitutes ambition for emotions and dictates the direction of action. It is insistent upon whole-hearted effort-half-hearted at- tempts will not suffice. It is laying the foundation for every pupil to function in accordance with his talents. This is no mean task for our schools but each day brings new evidence of their so functioning- evidence of a task well done. This is due to the fact that school offi- cials, backed by public attitude, are insistent that a mediocre school system will not suffice -- it must be the best.
Parents can do many things to help in making successful schools. One of the most important of which is to give careful thought to the planning of the high school programs of their boys and girls. While the child is still in the eighth grade, may I urge upon the parents the ne- cessity for conferences with the Academy Principal or the Superintend- ent of Schools to plan the pupil's high school course?
In closing I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness for the help and sincere cooperation which I have received from the members of the School Committee, from the teachers, and from the parents in the ad- ministration of our schools.
I wish also to express a word of deepest regret for the loss which our schools have suffered in the death of Mrs. Eva F. Wright, who was always alert to the best interests of our schools.

H. D. SYLVESTER,
Superintendent of Schools.
