B. REPORT FROM YOUR SUPERINTENDENT January, 1957
The superiority of a business organization can be meas- ured generally by the profit it makes for its owners. If profits continue yearly in a competitive situation, we may assume that this organization is serving well.
The superiority of a public school system is not so easy to measure, for there are many intangibles. However, we have learned to accept certain guideposts. Is the staff well trained ? Do the teachers continue to grow professionally ? Do the pupils achieve well on standardized tests? Do we provide well for the academic needs of all pupils? Do we emphasize the attainment of fundamental skills? Is atten- tion given to health needs and physical development? Does the school make provision for developing potentials in music and art? Do we teach and practice good citizenship habits ? Are our plant and equipment adequate and in good repair ? Do we have a sufficient stock of modern and good quality books, supplies and film strips ? Are transportation facilities safe and comfortable? Are school authorities continually alert to new educational practices, while maintaining a firm hold on tried and true methods ? Are good relations main- tained between home, school and community ?
I believe our citizens will agree that we measure well up on the yardstick of these criteria.
Pupil Statistics
When school opened in September, 411 pupils were en- rolled at Carpenter School. Estimates for September, 1958, indicate a slight increase-414 to 420. Our annual census of pupils from birth through age 18 shows practically no change over the last three years. We plan on 149 tuition pupils at Brewster for the coming year-three more than in the cur- rent budget. Although our enrollment figures change slowly, over several years there is a significant increase.
3
Teaching Staff
I encourage you to read Principal Jason Boynton's re- port of school objectives and the teachers' professional ac- tivities. I am convinced that we have a fine faculty.
Miss Grace Cunningham left us for employment as a critic teacher at Plymouth Teachers' College. Mrs. Helen Day resigned in June from her position in grade 4. We under- stand that Miss Roberta Giddings is continuing her profes- sional training.
Mrs. Faith Pilgrim, formerly of Woodsville, is teaching a division of grade 4. Miss Mary Hakenson, whose home is at Wentworth, teaches a division of grade 2. Both were graduated from Plymouth Teachers' College in June, 1956. Miss Mary Roberts, graduate of Keene Teachers' College in June, 1956, teaches one of the two groups of grade 6. We are pleased with the quality of their work and effort.
We believe our children benefit materially from a rela- tively stable staff. Our nineteen teachers and principal work together for our boys and girls as a team, with particular strengths utilized to greatest advantage. As yearly studies of curriculum are completed, what is learned together is re- tained here for our own children.
I am pleased that the community is supporting a salary schedule. Experienced teachers are receiving advances year- ly, to be fully on schedule in 1958-59. Unfortunately, in terms of tax dollars, the base for hiring new teachers moves upward each year, causing new inequities. We should look forward to the day when salaries reach a professional basis and a career as teacher will be sufficiently remunerative to attract larger numbers of college graduates. With a con- stantly increasing national enrollment, soon to hit the high school, too, our supply of qualified teachers must grow rapidly.
4
Building Maintenance and Improvements
As in our homes, continual repairs are necessary, if property is to be maintained at a high point of usefulness.
We have nearly completed modernization of toilet facili- ties. Two classrooms were painted last summer and hallways were partially painted. Our custodian, Mr. Niblett, painted some toilet rooms, a portion of the cafeteria wall and its entire floor.
A new asphaltic cement walk was built to Factory Street at the rear of the playground and broken spots in the hard surfaced area of the playground were patched. The graduat- ing class of 1956 gave funds which were used to replace the bed of the playground slide with stainless steel.
Our heating plant has been carefully checked. A larger pipe was built between the furnace and chimney and addi- tional safety valves were added. Some piping was improved in the basement. We have purchased new fire extinguishers, as recommended by the fire department. The stage has been re-wired to eliminate overloading of circuits. Our plans for the coming year include complete painting of woodwork on the exterior of the building. Sometimes because of budgetary considerations, we find it necessary to postpone some desir- able repairs. We need to consider a program for replacing our relatively small pupil desks as the years go on. We must continue our program for painting interior rooms, following an omission for one year. Also, with the larger enrollments, we must consider a more adequate installation of lavatories soon.
5
Transportation
Most of you know that we own two modern buses. The GMC 54-passenger bus, driven by Lester Bean, is in its fifth year of service. Although it needs painting, it is still in fine condition and should last another five years without major repairs. The 60-passenger Ford bus, driven by Samuel Nib- lett, who is also our custodian, is in its second year of service on our longest route. The estimated cost of operating these two buses is $5,000.00 yearly, including annual depreciation of $1,000.00.
Mr. Hugh Kirkland continues his many years of faithful service on the Beach Pond route, with his 48-passenger bus. Mr. Charles Shannon runs the Pleasant Valley and South Wolfeboro routes with his beach wagon taxi. Mr. Morell Crawford and William Cope supply feeder routes from the northern sections of the town. The transportation system is operating splendidly, with competent, cooperative operators and minimum cost.
Finances
A report just received from our State Department of Education shows that Wolfeboro's tax for schools during 1956-57 is $21.26 a thousand on assessed valuation, or $12.25 a thousand on equalized valuation. The median for New Hampshire is $30.29 on assessed and $16.98 on equalized. Our elementary costs per pupil are higher than New Hamp- shire averages. Our costs for secondary pupils of $295.00 are lower than the New Hampshire average, since we have the considerable advantage of Brewster Trust Funds.
Our new budget for the school year 1957-58 has been completed. It has been presented at a public meeting of the budget committee and before the Parent Council. It has been approved by the budget committee. This budget requires a
6
tax increase of approximately $9,000.00 over the figure ap- proved for school taxes by the New Hampshire Tax Commis- sion last summer.
Of this amount, a major portion is needed to maintain the teacher salary policy. There is an increase in the appro- priation for school books and supplies. More money is re- quired for fuel oil. Since we are paying for the second bus and the oil burner in three years, rather than five, some in- crease is needed for principal of debt. The rate set for tui- tion at Brewster remains at $295.00, but we plan for three more students and two foster children in the elementary grades. All accounts are supported by lists of actual needs and thoughtful estimates based on past experience.
The confidence shown by our Parent Council, civic and church organizations, the good will of town officials and the high morale of pupils and staff give us encouragement in our continual effort to have an even finer school system.
JOHN WILMAN DAY,
Superintendent of Schools.

C. PRINCIPAL'S REPORT
Carpenter School
In previous reports your principal has called attention to the formidable challenge which faces any community and any school system which aspires to be of outstanding service to youth. The total faculty must constantly correct weak- nesses and reexamine objectives, curriculum, and teaching techniques and the citizens of a community must resolutely face the changing economic situation to the end that the real needs are met without financial waste.
When an individual gives serious thought to the effec- tiveness of our community's educational effort, it becomes clearly evident that some basic goal must be established. A faculty committee, headed by Miss Virginia Jackson, has attempted to define the role of Carpenter School. The com- mittee hopes to have reflected the highest aspirations of parents and citizens in the statement which follows :
"To provide through cooperative endeavor with other community agencies the type of educational experiences which will enable each individual child to: make the best use of all his abilities ; acquire the skills he needs to be suc- cessful; and to improve his daily living to the end that he be- comes a useful, active, contributing member of his com- munity."
A committee of teachers, headed by Mrs. Carl Arm- strong, and working at times with the total faculty, has pre- pared a statement which sets forth the basic underlying ob- jectives of Carpenter School. When the objectives are clearly stated, the policies and operating procedures may be definite and precise. This statement is presented below:
1. HEALTH. To develop and maintain a sound body ; and to establish wholesome mental and emotional attitudes and habits.
8
2. OUR AMERICAN HERITAGE. To develop pride and faith in American Democracy and respect for the dignity and worth of individuals, regardless of race, religion, nation- ality or socio-economic status.
3. CITIZENSHIP. To develop understanding of rights and duties of citizens of a democratic society, diligence and competence in the performance of their obligations as mem- bers of the community and citizens of the state and nation.
4. APPRECIATION AND EXPRESSION. To develop an appreciation and enjoyment of beauty and to develop powers of creative expression.
5. SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS. To develop desirable social attitudes and relationships within the family, the school and the community.
6. THINKING. To develop the capacity to think and act for one's self and to develop critical-mindedness as a basis for judgment, evaluation and action.
7. ECONOMIC RELATIONSHIPS. To develop an awareness and appreciation of human, natural and material resources.
8. SKILLS. To acquire competence in the tools of learning.
With these objectives in mind, another committee, headed by Mr. Llewellyn Brewster, sought to present for faculty consideration a type of instructional organization that would facilitate the accomplishment of the school's ob- jectives. To the layman, it might seem that no complex prob- lem exists. However, there are many types of school organi- zation. Some square with what is known regarding the psy- chology of learning and some actually interfere with sound teaching techniques. After considerable study and experi- mentation, a type of organization often referred to as broad- area organization was developed for the departmental Jun- ior High. The primary and intermediate grades continue
9
with the classroom units, plus some specialization in music and physical education. The chart which follows shows the instructional organization as it expands vertically and depicts the approximate time allocation, by subjects, in the several grades.

Definite policy statements have been developed regard- ing lunchroom management. Incidentally, much improve- ment has resulted from assigning youngsters from different grades to a particular table and giving responsible eighth graders the task of helping these youngsters to demonstrate good table manners.
A clear statement of policy regarding promotion and non-promotion is serving its purpose well. Such an important decision as promotion or non-promotion requires careful

study which includes considering many factors. A carefully worked out procedure guides teachers as they gather objec- tive information regarding the individual being studied. Be- sides considering if the grades received by the child warrant promotion, a more positive approach gives consideration to what will result from the action taken. The decision will be the one that holds the most promise for future growth of the pupil.
The selection of text books is of considerable importance. Much study and committee work on the part of faculty mem- bers is necessary if a wise selection is to be made. Mrs. Edith Marden recently headed a text book selection committee. The volume and the validity of educational research is increasing and much is known about how children learn to spell. Mrs. Marden's committee sought that text book series which had the best organization in terms of what is known about the psychology of spelling. If you look at your child's new spell- ing book, you will notice how very different this new book is from the series that has been in use. This faculty strives to be with the leading edge of educational progress.
In-service training and curriculum revision is a signifi- cant function of teaching. This faculty recognizes its re- sponsibility and our youngsters benefit. At the present time, the science curriculum is being studied and revised.
In the report, your principal has attempted to advise citizens regarding some of the less obvious activities in- volved in the teaching of children. The willingness of our teachers to function on a professional level is commendable, and does set the stage for maintaining and improving the educational services to Wolfeboro youth.
School people need and appreciate the cooperation of parents and citizens.

PART FIVE Auxiliary Reports A. REPORT OF THE SCHOOL NURSE January, 1957
Through parent-teacher cooperation, the accomplish- ments in the school health program have been very grati- fying.
There are four orthopedic clinics a year. At these clinics many orthopedic problems which are detected and referred by Dr. Gregory during the school physical examinations, are followed up. The attending physician is Dr. Howard Half- man, orthopedic surgeon from Laconia.
Heights, weights, eye and ear testing are done for each student once a year. Every other year each student has a patch test for tuberculosis. For the past few years, every student has had his blood tested and this year a urine test for sugar was given.
Through dental clinics, the dental needs are taken care of by Dr. Douglas Kipp and Dr. Warren Broderick. This year a complete dental survey was completed through the com- bined efforts of our local dentists and Dr. Francis Livingston, Director of New Hampshire Dental Health Services.
There have been five Salk poliomyelitis vaccine clinics, and each student has had the opportunity to have two inocu- lations of Salk vaccine.
The school health program is guided and sponsored by the Public Health Nursing Association. This group is con- stantly on the alert for new and improved methods to provide the best possible health program for the children of Wolfe- boro.
