Report of Superintendent of Schools


To the School Committee of Wilbraham :- Madam and Gentlemen:


Herewith is submitted my report as superintendent. of schools for the year ending December 31st, 1932. In the interests of economy the report will be short.


School Finances, 1932


The school budget estimate for 1932 as printed in the annual report asked for $67,005. The town appropriated $64,930. Yet the school department kept within this ap- propriation and is turning back to the treasury of the town an unexpended balance available for schools of $787.18. The following table shows the estimate, the ex- penditures, and the amount by which the estimate was unexpended for each item in the 1932 budget. The table is followed by a brief discussion to show how the reduc- tions in expenditures were brought about.

* Overexpended


As shown above, the school committee voted them- selves a twenty-per cent cut in salary in 1932, and put in no expense bills, thereby effecting a saving of $50 on the estimate. The committee also has voted to return their salaries for 1933 to the town treasurer.


The monthly salary check of the superintendent was reduced by ten per cent beginning September 1st.


The underexpenditure of the estimate for expenses of superintendence by $163.53 was brought about chiefly through three measures. Mrs. Abbott, who sees to the distribution of pupil's tickets, refused to put in a bill for her services this year. The school board expressed its appreciation of her gift by a vote of thanks. The salary of the superintendent's clerk was reduced by ten per cent beginning April 1st. The annual school census re- quired by law was taken this year by the teachers.


The saving in salaries of teachers and supervisors came as a result of a ten per cent reduction which went into effect September 1st.


68


The expenditure for textbooks was reduced below the estimate by over $600 by the simple expedient of buy- ing no new books except as they were needed to fill out old sets already in use. The purchase of supplies was scrimped and teachers urged to every reasonable econ- omy in their use.


The janitors were given a ten per cent reduction be- ginning September 1st; also the new janitor at The Pines was started at a lower wage than his predecessor had been paid.


The saving in fuel was brought about chiefly by sub- stituting coke and buckwheat coal for stove coal for use in the furnaces of the school houses at North Wilbraham and Wilbraham Street. The new fuel is proving satis- factory.


The saving of $624.30 under repairs means that no major repairs, such as shingling or painting a building, were made during the year. Fortunately every school building has a tight roof. While there are several im- portant repair projects on the waiting list, no great harm can come from their postponement to more prosperous days.


The saving under health resulted from a reduction in the nurse's salary which went into effect September 1st and from a voluntary discount of ten per cent made by Dr. Damon in his bill.


The estimate of $25,000 for tuition was underex- rended by $292.87. It would have been substantially overexpended had the committee continued to pay for post graduate students.


Three estimates were overexpended, miscellaneous expenses of operation, transportation, and miscellaneous auxiliary agencies.


The expenditures under miscellaneous auxiliary agencies were wholly for insurance, and the estimate was exceeded as shown in the above table.


69


The expenditures under the heading "miscellaneous expenses of operation" are for such items as electricity, water, paper towels, soap, brooms, brushes, sweeping com- pounds, cleaning compounds, disinfectants, fly spray, and floor oils. These have intended to increase during the past few years. That this is so has been due to the fact that the school buildings of the town have been grad- ually improved by the installation of electricity, town water, and sanitary equipment, and by an increased use of the schoolhouses for evening gatherings chiefly Parent- Teacher Association meetings. It is probable that this item has now reached its maximum and that it will sta- bilize around $850 a year.


That the estimate for transportation was overex- pended by $500.42 is due quite largely to the fact that the school department had more car tickets on hand at the close of 1932 than at the close of 1931.


The above statements will show that the school de- partment has cheerfully co-operated with the other de- partments of the town in reducing expenditures. It will continue to do so. But it will do no harm to call atten- tion to the fact that reduction in school appropriations, like reduction in the appropriations for other depart- ments, means some loss in the excellency of the schools and the services which they can render children. If the town finds that it cannot afford money to continue con- struction on Stony Hill Road, users of that road must get along with an unimproved road. If the appropria- tion for schools does not permit the purchase of new text- books or the retention of the supervisors of music and drawing, children must use old books and get along with- out supervision and instruction in music and art. This statement is in no sense a complaint. The times are criti- cal. Towns must economize. But it should be clearly un- derstood that the necessary economies will mean some- thing in the way of sacrifice for the schools.

School Enrolment Trends


The table below giving the enrolment of Wilbraham pupils in the first grade and in the eighth grade, the total for the elementary schools, and the total number of high and trade school tuition pupils as of December for the years 1922 to 1932 inclusive, together with the number of births recorded in the annual town report for these years, may be of interest.

Attention is called to the fact that there is some correlation between the births recorded in town and the first grade membership in the schools. Children born in 1922 should be in the first grade in 1928 and so on. Dur- ing the first years of the period covered the enrolment in the first grade was abnormally large, due to the num- ber of children entering who could speak no English. Practically all these children found it necessary to spend two years in the first grade. But the table shows a steady decrease in the number of births recorded each year and in the number of children enrolled in the first


71


grade. If this correlation should continue during the next few years, a sharp drop in the first grade enrolment may be expected.


While the first grade enrolment has been dropping steadily, the eighth grade enrolment has just as steadily increased, rising from 27 in 1922 to 59 in 1932. This year the enrolment in the eighth grade is above the aver- age for all the grades in the elementary schools. It seems probable that unless a general increase in the population of the town occurs which will affect the enrolment in all the grades, the eighth grade has now reached the peak of its enrolment and that the next few years will witness a decrease in the number of pupils graduating from this grade.


The column showing the December membership of the elementary schools is interesting in that it shows that the elementary school enrolment has been surpris- ingly stable. The December membership of 460 for 1922 was duplicated in 1927, and again in 1932. But, to repeat, unless the population of the town increases, the member- ship of the elementary schools is likely to drop off in the next few years.


The final column giving December membership in high and trade schools shows a consistent growth during the past ten years. The present large eighth grade is an indication that the peak in high school enrolment has not yet been reached for the town. But, to repeat again, unless the population of the town should increase in the near future more rapidly than present trends indicate, it may be expected that the high school population of the town will have reached its peak by 1934 and will begin to drop off by 1936.


While it may be unsafe to attach too much import- ance to the trends indicated in the above table, still these should be kept in view by the townspeople when con- sidering school policies.


72


New Courses of Study


During the past year two new courses of study issued by the State Department have been approved by the school board for use in the Wilbraham schools, "Health Education for Elementary Schools" and "Science for Ele- mentary Schools."


The Pines Schoolhouse Grounds


While the schoolhouse lot at The Pines is by far the largest and best adapted to playground purposes of any of the school lots of the town, the ground in the imme- diate vicinity of the two school buildings is dry and sandy and tends to give the buildings an unattractive appear- ance. During the past year much has been done to im- prove the appearance of these buildings by concrete re- taining walls constructed by Mr. Patnaude along the sides of the buildings so as to enclose beds which then were filled with loam and planted with shrubbery and bulbs. Part of the planting was paid for out of a fund which the teachers had accumulated and was done by a land- scaping company, but all the beds were made and much of the planting done as labor of love by Mr. Patnaude. The shrubbery set out was largely given to the school by Sunnyvale Gardens of East Longmeadow, but Mr. Patnaude, at his own expense, went to East Longmeadow, dug up the shrubbery, transported it, and set it out. The shrubbery about The Pines schoolhouse will for many years testify to the devotion and love of beauty of the man who, from the day that the building was first occu- pied until his death, was its custodian.

Arrangements with hospitals for operations and in most instances conveyance provided for 25 tonsil cases. Assisted the school doctor in immunizing 66 child- ren, Schicking 69 children, vaccinating 56 children.


Made 17 visits to the occulist with children.


Made arrangements and in most instances conveyed 12 children to Camp Keepwell-where under the best of supervision during 21 days these children gained from 1 to 8 pounds and a total of 36 pounds.


At the pre-school clinic in May 46 children were ex- amined and recommendations made to the parents, so that the children might enter school with as few handi- caps as possible. Many parents took advantage of this information and had corrections made.


At this time 44 children were vaccinated. The find- ings of this examination were-


6 had had some defects corrected.


4 had had toxin-antitoxin treatment against dip- theria.


43 had teeth defects.


1 had had previous dental work.


10 were found with defective tonsils.


2 had already had tonsils removed.


Following the survey made by agents of the Depart- ment of Public Health, one of the recommendations made was that children be stripped to the waist line for the annual examination which the law requires. While in most instances our facilities for this work are not the best, this has been done since the opening of school in September. Also parents have been invited to be pre- sent, this being another recommendation.


We have examined 268 children and had 73 parents present. These have been shown their children's defects, and have received literature on different subjects. In several instances at the time of the examination arrange-


75


ments with parents have been made for corrections through the nurse.


I wish to take this opportunity to thank the Select- men, Board of Health, Dr. Stanley Stusick, Red Cross, Parent-Teacher Associations, School Board, Teachers and Individuals of the Town who have so kindly come forward and made many things possible.
