It will be noted in this table that there will be an estimated 20 per cent dropping out of pupils between Grades 9 and 10. To some, this figure may seem extremely high. Nevertheless, putting this figure high makes this table more accurate when discussing minimum cur- rent costs. Without doubt no more than 8 to 10 per cent of our chil- dren will be dropping out of high school after they have completed Grade 9. We wish further to call to the attention of the citizens that the tuition costs in the city of Springfield have gone from $200 to $220 per pupil for those pupils who are attending Grade 9, and from $235 to $256 per pupil for those pupils who are attending Grades

10 through 12. This increase in tuition alone will affect the current costs substantially. Please note that this per pupil cost does not in- clude transportation. During the school year 1946-1947 the per pupil cost for transporting children to Springfield who were attending Grades 9 through 12 was approximately $81.10. May we say that the transportation costs since that time have not diminished.

Repairs
Previous to the school year 1948-1949 The Pines school has been burning bituminous coal in its furnaces. It was felt that if oil burners were installed at The Pines school there would be a greater oppor- tunity for the janitor to perform his many duties. Therefore there were installed oil burners at The Pines school at a cost of $1,210 by Wallace R. Lyman, Westinghouse engineer. The ceiling of the school was also insulated to save heat at a cost of $450 by the U. S. Insula- tion Company.
We wish to take this opportunity to express to Mr. Charles La- pine, Mr. Henry Hyde, and Mr. Patrick Fitzgerald, building custo- dians, our appreciation for their faithful care of our schools.
We wish to thank Miss Signe L. Polson, Dr. Arthur H. Goodwin, and Dr. Irving P. Dinneen for the work which they are doing in the schools in relation to our present health program.
