Carrying out the vote of the town, last summer we disposed of two portable schoolhouses at $300 each. The purchase price did not include furnaces, slate blackboards, and other equipment. The blackboards have been put up in the two-room building at the Pines. One of the fur- naces has been installed at the Glendale schoolhouse, and the other is being stored.

Report of Superintendent of Schools


To the School Committee of Wilbraham :


Herewith is submitted my report as superintendent of schools for the year ending December 31, 1925.


Loss of State Grants.


Grants to towns for support of schools in accordance with the provisions of Part II of the General School Fund Law are restricted to towns having a valuation of less than three million dollars as determined by the state tri- ennial valuation. This year the state tax commissioner has given Wilbraham a vaulation of $4,040,940. Accord- ingly, unless the law should be amended, Wilbraham will no longer receive this grant. The amount received under this law in 1925 was $6,516.55.


The law under which superintendency unions are or- ganized provides for reimbursement to the towns of the union of a substantial part of the salary paid the super- intendent of schools provided the valuation of the town is less than $3,500,000. As this valuation has now been exceeded, this grant, which has amounted for the last several years to $580 annually, is also lost.


An attempt is being made to secure legislation which will restore to Wilbraham the grants under Part II of the General School Fund Law. The purpose of this grant is to equalize the burden of taxation for the support of public schools. Wilbraham's just claim to this aid is shown by two facts: Our local tax for school support is high. In 1924 it was $15.99 per thousand dollars of valu- ation as compared with an average of $8.12 for the 'state.


64


Secondly, our valuation per pupil is low, $4,443 as com- pared with an average of $8,801 for the state. Let me add that, notwithstanding our high local tax, and the heavy expense for our high school pupils, our average expendi- ture per pupil is low, $59,39 for the year ending June 30, 1925, as compared with $13.18 for the state. .


The Springfield Vocational School.


The number of Wilbraham boys enrolled in the Spring- field Vocational School has been increasing until at pre- sent they number thirteen. This school, as its name im- plies, is intended to prepare boys to enter some of the trades. Courses are given in cabinet making, automobile repairing, electrical wiring, carpentry, machine shop, printing, and possibly some other subjects. It seems to me that many of our boys are wise in choosing this school. If a boy has no liking for abstract study, and he and his parents have definitely decided that he is to take up a trade, undoubtedly this school will give him better pre- paration than any of the Senior high schools of Spring- field.


Conditions of discipline, and of marking, and of sup- port, in this school are different from those in the senior high schools. Parents who are thinking of sending their boys to this school may be interested to know that the number of boys from this union dismissed from the Voca- tional school because of unsatisfactory work is greater than the combined number dismissed from the three senior high schools. To some extent the support of the school comes from the state treasury and the policies of the school are determined by the State Department of Education. It may interest taxpayers to know that the fifty per cent refund from the state treasury on the town's expenditures for Vocational school tuition is not affected by the town's increase in valuation.


65


Repairs and Improvements.


Members of the school committee will recall that several years ago representatives of the Women's Study Club visited all our school buildings and made a report to the school committee with recommendations on desir- able changes and improvements in school equipment. In harmony with their recommendations, the school com- mittee has pursued a consistant plan of keeping up minor repairs and at the same time carrying out some project of a permanent nature each year. The fruits of this policy are manifest in the greatly improved conditions of our schoolhouses. Let me enumerate some of the major, more or less permanent, improvements made.


Slate blackboards have been installed in the two room building at The Pines, and in all of the one teacher schools of the town. The old plaster or paper boards in all cases were in bad shape, hard to write on, to read from, and to keep clean. Their use was a. tax upon the eyes of the pupils ยท and the patience of the teacher. They were in constant need of repair. The slate boards now installed in every school in town will be good without any expense for repairs for many years.


The outdoor privies at The Pines, Wilbraham Street, North Wilbraham, East Wilbraham, and Glendale have been superseded. At East Wilbraham and at Glendale chemical toilets have been installed. At North Wilbra- ham and Wilbraham Street wells were drilled, pressure tanks put in, and water closets installed. The drilled wells furnish an abundance of excellent water for drinking fountains as well. At The Pines the pupils still housed in the old building make use of the toilet facilities afforded by the fine, new schoolhouse there.


Possibly none but the teachers adequately appreciate what these changes have meant for the protection of the health and morals of the children.


66


The old benches and double desks at Glendale, Stony Hill, and The Pines have been replaced by modern, single, adjustable or movable seats and desks. The discarded desks had been used for many years. One of our town officials called attention to the fact that as a child in school he, and before him his mother, had sat in one of the benches being taken out; and he asked that he might have it for old sake's sake.


Several rooms have been redecorated, several buildings painted on the exterior, a nurse's room provided at Wil- braham Street, and a new heating and ventilating system installed at Glendale. All these enterprises, several of which were carried out by special appropriations of the town, have made a very great improvement. The school committee is to be congratulated on the work it has done and the support it has received from the town's people in its undertakings.


Health Work.


I doubt if the citizens of Wilbraham fully realize what a fine piece of work is being done in our schools un- der the direction of Dr. Damon, our school physician. Still, many parents must have learned of the activities of the school physician and the school nurse by having their at- tention called to the fact that their child had adenoids, or diseased tonsils, or defective eyes, or decayed teeth, or an appearance of undernourishment, which made it desir- able that the child be sent to a physician, an oculist, a throat specialist, a dentist, or a T. B. clinic for exam- ination and possible treatment. Some, too, I am sure, in cases where the notice of the nurse has been heeded and treatment given, can testify to the beneficial results that followed.


Some months ago an item was given to the news- papers from the Department of Public Health to the effect


67


that there were many children in the public schools who had not complied with the law with reference to vaccin- ation. I thereupon collected data to show the conditions existing in this district, and found that, of the children in the public schools of Wilbraham, 516 had been success- fully vaccinated, eight were attending under exemption certificates, and but four were enrolled who had not met the requirements of the law. As children are permitted to enter our schools un-vaccinated and attend until the school physician and the nurse can see to their vaccination, there is always a possibility of a few children being present who have not met the requirements of the law; but the data show substantially 100 per cent observance.


Diphtheria immunization treatment is entirely volun- tary on the part of parents. The opportunity is offered, but none is obliged to accept the offer. During the past three years 349 children, or nearly 70 per cent of our present membership, have taken this treatment. This is a very good showing. The value of this enterprise seems to be proved by the fact that cases of diphtheria, of which there were quite a number among our school children during each of the several years preceding 1923, are not now occurring in Wilbraham. As there are still many both in and out of school who have not received the treatment, an out- break of diphtheria is not an impossibility. Still, it is gratifying to be able to record that, while formerly we had frequent cases and occasional deaths, now we are free from the disease.


The Course of Study


As practically all our grammar school graduates go on to the schools of Springfield, the most apparent objec- tive of our course of study is to prepare our pupils to take up their work there successfully. In 1916 a very care- fully worked out course for the towns in this superin-


C8


tendency union was made and printed . But no course of study at all adequate can be fixed. Every year sees adap- tations and changes of emphasis to meet new require- ments. As a result, the printed course of 1916 has been for the most part discarded. The one in use finds ex- pression in manuals issued by the State Department, man- uals prepared to accompany textbooks, and typewritten or multigraphed statements sent out from the office of the superintendent. While the requirements in the different subjects are not today found, brought together, printed, and bound in a single volume, I believe that these are pretty well defined and clear to the teachers, and that the present arrangement is satisfactory in that it admits of easy modification and ready adaption as circumstances may require.


In this connection acknowledgement should be made to Mr. Guy D. Miller, supervisor of mathematics of the Springfield schools, for copies furnished our teachers of the Mathematics Syllabus used in the junior high schools of Springfield.


Teachers' Meetings.


Any course of study needs explanation and interpre- tation. There are also many matters of administration to which teachers are called upon to attend. In order to bring these matters before the teachers, to secure their views, to capitalize their experience, and to furnish an opportunity for general discussion, teachers' meetings are held, two in September, and one during each of the fol- lowing months of the school year. On the afternoon when these meetings are held, school sessions, except at the build- ing where the meetings are held, close at noon. Thus the actual number of days when the schools are in ses- sion during the school year is lessened. However, in this connection I wish to call attention to the fact that, when


1


69


these are deducted, our school calendar provides for 180 days or five days more than the average for all the towns in group IV, the group which includes Wilbraham, of the Report of the Department of Education, as shown in the last report available. We have none too many days in our school year, and yet I feel that the time taken for the teachers' meetings is very valuable and that, as long as our calendar compares so favorably in length with the average of other similar towns, we are justified in the time taken for teachers' meetings.


Auto:natic Teller.


An interesting project has been the placing of an auto- matic teller in the schoolhouse at The Pines by the Spring- field Institution for Savings. The amount of the collec- tions since the installation last February is $?07.90, or more than $2.50 for every pupil in the school. This shows a very commendable spirit of thrift on the part of pupils in that school.


A Schoolhouse Lot.


In my report of last year I discussed at some length the advisability of establishing a junior high school in Wilbraham. There is no getting around the fact that the present organization of the Wilbraham schocks makes the task of providing for our pupils a satisfactory course in grades seven and eight difficult. Some of the subjects offered pupils in these classes in the Springfield schools it is not wise for us to attempt to give. They are taught by teachers specially prepared, and usually require special equipment. Among these are general science, Latin French, cooking, mechanical drawing and gymnasium. While some of our teachers might give some of these subjects, no one of them has either the time or the preparation to teach them all.


70


Sooner or later the time will come when the town of Wilbraham will decide to establish its own junior high school. I believe the town should anticipate this action by considering the advisability of securing a lot on which to place such a school. One cause for the heavy outlays for schools in growing communities is found in the short- sighted policy which refuses to purchase land for school- houses in anticipation of its need. Further, when action is finally taken, it sometimes happens that desirable lo- cations are no longer available, and that inferior sites are chosen. For this reason. and as a measure of economy, consideration of this matter is urged.
