GUIDANCE AND PLACEMENT
Mr. S. G. Bean,
Superintendent of Schools,
Wilmington, Massachusetts.
Dear Sir:
The ever-ready and willing co-operation of our principal and faculty of the senior high school has contributed immeasurably to greater progress and expansion in this relatively new department of our school.
Two school periods daily were alloted to this valuable work of guidance and placement. The results obtained have more than justi- fied this limited expenditure of time and effort.
The guidance program has included testing the mental ability, aptitudes, interests, and personality of the upper classes. The main purpose of this kind of testing is the wise use of the results obtained in adjusting the pupil to the right kind of work in school, whenever possible, and also in adjusting to the right kind of work after gradu- ation, so that his or her natural abilities and interests may best be utilized.
It is strongly recommended that more time may be alloted to this work of testing and of personal interviews after the testing; for this portion of the guidance program is no longer considered an experiment in our schools. This kind of testing has also been used in business . and industry, and in our Armed Forces, for many years, and on a larger scale.
The placement or job-procurement side of our program has been very successful during the past year. Every June graduate is active in business, industry, college, or in the Armed Forces.
In addition to the above, many under-graduates have been aided in obtaining summer employment, and part-time winter jobs.
12
During the recent Christmas recess, thirty-five boys and girls were placed in temporary full-time jobs in Boston, Reading, Woburn, and Winchester,-their combined wages approximated seven hundred dollars. 1
This placement service has aided the pupils, parents, and employ- ers, as well. New and better contacts with employers are being made each year, in order that new and better jobs may be procured for our boys and girls.
The following disposition of the June graduating class may also prove significant and interesting:
1. Entered Business 23
2. Entered Industry 3
3. Enrolled in Schools for Nurses 5
4. Enrolled in Colleges 4
5. Joined Armed Forces of the U. S. 20

REPORT OF HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
Mr. S. G. Bean,
Superintendent of Schools,
Wilmington, Massachusetts.
Dear Sir:
It is my pleasure to submit my annual report as Principal of the Wilmington High School.
The effect of World War II on the secondary schools of America was felt with shocking suddeness late in 1942. The new school year had begun, class schedules and pupil programs had been made out and were in operation, and the school functioning as an intergrated whole. Then, with the changing of the Selective Service law to include the eighteen year old boys, came the request of our Military and Naval leaders to prepare the older high school boys for induction into the armed services. This request was supported by our Commissioner of Education who urged that every high school cooperate fully by intro- ducing new courses of study and by the adaptation of existing courses to meet the wishes of the Federal Government.
Our school, as did every other high school in the state and nation, immediately set to work studying the problem. We found that we could offer classes in Aeronautics, Elements of Electricity, Elements of Machines, Radio Code, and Review Mathematics. In addition we were able to organize classes in Physical Fitness for boys, with the Seniors having ninety minutes and the Juniors forty-five minutes each day.
These changes necessitated the termination of several classes and the rearrangement of teachers' schedules. Happily, what might have led to chaotic conditions eventually resulted in a reasonably smooth transition from the old to the new order, due to the whole-hearted co operation of teachers and pupils.
Many of our boys who have completed their basic training and returned on furlough have enthusiastically praised the pre-induction courses received in our high school and credited these courses as hav-
131
ing greatly helped them in their training. In these courses, then, we have accomplished two purposes: First, we have prepared the boys for basic training, and second, we have helped the government by send- ing boys who are better prepared for the training which they are to undergo. Within our limitations we have followed the course outlines furnished by the government.
War time restrictions have practically destroyed the high school athletic program, particularly in so far as competition with neighbor- ing schools is concerned. We have been unable to maintain any sort of schedule in baseball, girls' field hockey, and girls' and boys' basket- ball. An abbreviated schedule in football was carried out this past fall. Transportation difficulties caused the curtailment of schedules as we are not permitted to hire buses nor use private cars. There is little hope for improvement in the situation until after the war.
It cannot be stated with any certainty, at this time, what changes the war will bring about in the high schools. We do know that World War I left its mark on the schools and we can be sure that the schools will be further changed by this war. There is a tendency toward the elimination of some subjects, the reorganization of others, and the in- troduction of new courses. It is quite probable that this tendency will continue, and that some of the new courses will be retained.
The secondary schools, having faced and solved the problem of pre-induction training, are faced with an even greater problem-name- ly, that of persuading pupils to resist the lure of high wages in favor of remaining in school and finishing their secondary training. This problem is common at many schools and is of such significance that writers in our education magazines are giving it considerable attention.
Dr. Edgar W. Knight, Professor of Education at the University of North Carolina, in an article in the December issue of School Manage- ment writes as follows:
"Young people who neglect their secondary educational opportu- nities now will find themselves in the exacting post-war period at seri- ous disadvantage. They will find it difficult not only to extend their education, which they will find so greatly needed, but also to partici- pate understandingly in the complex activities and the difficult duties which the years ahead will inevitably bring upon American citizens.
What these young people apparently do not know and what they should learn from teachers and parents during these confusing times
132
is that they can be of greater service to their country and communities in the hard years that are bound to come with reconstruction, if they remain in school and get the best preparation possible for their re- sponsibilities after the war."
Our turnover of teachers continues at a high rate due to the at- tractiveness of higher salaries in other towns. Miss Louise Marsh re- signed in March and was replaced by transferring Miss Elene Farello from the Buzzell School. Miss Belcher and Miss Gretsch resigned in June and were replaced by a transfer of Miss Dineen from the Buzzell School and by the election of Mr. Copeland, who formerly taught in Princeton. Miss Devine left in October and that vacancy was filled by the election of Miss Bosketti.
No one knows what the postwar high school will be like. Many changes have taken place and no doubt other changes will follow. We shall keep informed of trends and changes as they occur and endeavor to maintain the same high standard for Wilmington High School as in the past.
In closing may I express my appreciation for your cooperation as well as that of the teachers and pupils of the high school.
Respectfully,
J. TURNER HOOD, Jr.

REPORT OF SCHOOL NURSE
January 6, 1944.
Mr. Stephen G. Bean,
Superintendent of Schools,
Wilmington, Mass.
Dear Sir:
For the past few years my report has been chiefly one of statis- tics. As figures do not necessarily give a true or complete picture, I would like to report some of the things we are trying to do and some of the problems confronting us.
Our aim is maximum health for every child. The finding of con- ditions which may handicap a child or lead to future trouble, is the first step to be taken. This is done by the school physician, the school nurse, and the teachers. Endeavoring to correct these conditions the nurse visits the homes, consults with family physicians, hospitals and others.
One of the problems facing us at present is inadequate dental care. The shortage of dentists has made a school dental clinic impossible for the past two years. Many of our boys and girls have never been seen by a dentist. Neglected teeth undermine health, cause absence from school and are a source of grief in later years.
.
We have had the usual run of childhood diseases, but we have had no serious epidemics. Stricter observance of quarantine rules and greater vigilance on the part of parents would aid in checking con- tagion.
Tuberculosis control is still of primary importance. Incipient and new cases must be found with the help of X-ray. Known contacts and suspicious cases are under supervision.
War conditions prevented Holland Bros. from donating a bus to transport school children to the diphtheria clinic as in former years. We are indebted to the Women's Defense Corp. for transporting these children. 89 were immunized.
Milk, an important part of every child's diet is available at all schools at 2c per half pint.
134
Last spring we tried registering the children who were to enter school in the fall. Although only 60 were registered it showed that the first day of school need not be a day of confusion for teachers. and tears for children. Birth certificates, vaccinations, the first visit to school, correction of physical defects could all be done in the spring and early summer. I hope we will be able to do more along this line in the future.
A meeting of the school doctor and nurse with the superintendent of schools and the school committee for the purpose of discussing health problems and policies proved very helpful in planning our work for the future.
I wish to thank you, Mr. Bean, the teachers, and all who have helped in any way, our effort to attain maximum health for every child.
Respectfully submitted,
ESTHER H. NICHOLS, R. N ..
School Nurse.
