REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the School Directors of Ludlow :
The following is a very brief report of the work of the schools for the year ending last June and the enrollment for the present school year. I am recording also some ob- servations from the past which should have a bearing on the future conduct of the schools.

The achievement testing program was extended last May to include first grade reading. In all other respects TABLE No. 2 is comparable with TABLE No. 2 in the 1930 report. The work of Grade 7, which showed up so poorly in the tests, has been reorganized for the present year with apparently beneficial results.

The same achievement tests given in the rural schools showed Smithville School -. 6; Wadleigh -. 8; Barton ex- actly standard; Grahamsville +.7; Hemenway +2.3. On ac- count of the small number of pupils in the District the Hemenway School has been closed and the pupils are now cared for at the Wadleigh School.
Similar testing in the Senior High School showed that our pupils are equal in knowledge of subject matter to those of other schools and that the instructors in this depart- ment are well qualified and are teaching their subjects in a progressive manner. Pupils who have highly satisfactory records in Black River Academy are showing themselves to be capable of doing a satisfactory grade of college work. Those who do not do a high type of work in this high school usually cannot do satisfactory work in college.
A survey covering the activities of the graduates of the Black River Academy for the last five years shows the following facts: 20% of the graduates in this period en- tered college, 10.6% entered teachers training institutions, 9% attended business schools, 10% entered nurses' train- ing or other institutions, 10.5% are engaged in homemak- ing or home economics work (this group is constantly in- creasing by virtue of marriage and will eventually embrace 50% of the graduates), 1.5% taking post-graduate courses, 32.6% are engaged in various occupations for which they have had no special training in school, 6.5% are not gain- fully employed.
If we accept the viewpoint that the present restricted college preparatory curriculum is the one best fitted to the needs of those entering college, nurses' training, teachers training and post-graduates, the survey shows that we are highly benefiting 42% of the graduates thru this course. Those who receive no special training for their future work in life and those not now gainfully employed, 39% of the total graduates, is a group large enough to receive consid-
5
eration. This group is now forced thru a course of study which does not meet it's needs, and one which is therefor wasteful of the time of the pupils even if not actually dis- tasteful to many of them.
The introduction of a commercial course into the High School curriculum would be of value to a large part of this 39% of the graduates. Whatever occupation or trade one enters in this highly commercialized age, the principles of a business training will be of value to him. The 9% who attend business schools would also greatly benefit by the course and the number of those who now drop out of school because there is "nothing practical for us to study" would no doubt be lessened. The work of the college preparatory course would be strengthened by the elimination from that course of many who are not highly interested in it or well fitted for it.
One condition which has been preventing reorganiza- tion is the overcrowding which exists in the Academy. A like condition makes the Woodward Building most unsatis- factory for accomplishing the work of the grades housed there. It seems to me unlikely that a school building such as Ludlow should have will be built in the near future. Would it not be wise therefor to make such additions to the present structures as to take care of the needs for, let us say, fifteen years to come, and to do so soon since build- ing materials are now reasonable in price and local labor is plenty and cheap? It would seem that it is time to evolve some definite plan for future school building operations.
The principal renovation and repair work done during the last year has included standardization of the Smithville School, painting exteriors of two other rural schools, im- proving facilities, repairing ceilings, repainting interior of two rooms and re-roofing one side of the High Street grad- ed building, painting exterior and improvement of ventila- tion system at the Woodward Building, insulating Room 7
6
in the Academy against cold and increasing the radiation in that room.
The textbook equipment is now in good condition and expenditures for that item should be lighter in the next few years. Reference books are still badly needed in both the high school and the elementary grades. Nearly all sup- plies are on hand in sufficient quantity for the remainder of the year.
The financial statement to be found on another page in this report shows that altho expenditures are somewhat less than last year, the receipts of the department have shrunk over $4.000. from those of the year 1930. It is very evident that a far-reaching reorganization of your school system is necessary for the year 1932.
I present the following recommendations for your consideration :
1. Evolution of a definite school building program.
2. Execution of above program as soon as seems feasible.
3. Establishment of a commercial course in B. R. A.
4. Improvement of facilities for instruction at all buildings in Ludlow Village.
5. Reorganization of the whole system such as to make its cost conform to the decreased income of the School De- partment.
Respectfully submitted, (Signed) WINN L. TAPLIN,
Superintendent of Schools.

REPORT OF THE HEALTH OFFICER
To the Citizens of the Town of Ludlow:
During the year there were reported the following com- municable diseases :
Chicken Pox 1 Scarlet Fever 1
Infantile Paralysis 1 Diphtheria 1
Mumps 13 Whooping Cough 38
Measles 176
The epidemic of measles and whooping cough were the most widespread in several years, but fortunately during the year there were no deaths nor serious complications from communicable diseases.
Regular tests of the Village water supply show a very good water.
License was granted nine milk dealers after inspection of stables, cows and equipment. Milk samples were pro- cured from each dealer and analyzed at the State laboratory.
Almost without exception the analysis and inspection showed clean stables, well kept cows, care in handling of milk and a good quality milk. In one or two instances there was opportunity for improvement.
It is hoped that the Village may find means for collect- ing rubbish and garbage. The Village Dump, although un- sightly is in as good condition as possible. Health conditions on the whole have been fairly good throughout the year.
Respectfully submitted,
M. D. CAREY,
Health Officer.
