S U P E R I N T E N D E N T OF SCHOOLS 30 TOWN REPORT, GREENVILLE, ME. To the Superintending School Committee and Citizens of Greenville: I herewith submit m y annual report as Superintendent of Schools. Our enrollment during the past year has been the largest in the history of the town, the total in all grades and the High school being 517, which is 28 greater than that of any previous year of which I have record, and 38 more than last year. A s a consequence our rooms are badly crowded and it is impossible f o r our teachers to accomplish the results we would have a right to expect were the average enrollment in each grade not over 35. A t least two more grade teachers could be used to advantage if we had additional room and the money wherewith to pay them. I feel however, that all of our teachers are making the best of the situation and are doing all that they are capable of under present conditions. Several of our grades number over 50 pupils. It is absolutely impossible f o r any teacher to give the individual attention she should to so large a number. A s a consequence we have more failures than would otherwise be the case, which is discouraging to both children and parents; puts the town to the expense of paying f o r their education a second time in the same grade, and makes additional work f o r the teacher in an already overcrowded room. This is not said in any criticism of the people of Greenville, who have supported their schools loyally through a depression unparalled in the history of the nation, but that you may understand the situation and realize why we cannot always maintain as high standards as would otherwise be possible. High School The high school enrollment has not shown the same rate of increase as the grades, in fact, there has been a slight falling off, due to more opportunities f o r securing work. The faculty is the same as f o r several years past and good work is being done in all departments. Mr. Diehl's report will cover the more important details 31 TOWN REPORT, GREENVILLE, ME. Grades From Grades I to V I inclusive, the regular grade organization prevails, each teacher being responsible for the entire work o f the class. In Grades VII and VIII we have adopted the junior high school plan of organization, the work being departmentalized and carried on in connection with that of the senior high school. This plan was greatly helped by the addition of Mr. Perry W o r t m a n to our teaching force. Mr. Wortman is well qualified to teach both junior and senior high school subjects and has proved' a valuable addition to our faculty. In accordance with the usual practice in junior high schools the curriculum differs somewhat from the customary grade arrangement. Instead of separate classes in History and Geography, a combined course known as Social Science combines the essential features of both with elementary Economics and Sociology. A half year course in Elementary Business Training is given, also a half year course in Exploratory Latin. These courses contain no material that is not useful and valuable f o r all pupils, and enables them to choose their courses more wisely on entering senior high school. Conveyance We are at present conveying 21 common school pupils over three routes at a total cost of $27.50 a week which is an increase of $1.25 a week over last year. All conveyance meets the minimum requirements of the law and so f a r as I have any information is reasonably satisfactory to the patrons. Repairs During the past two years only absolutely necessary repairs have been made, as with the new building in prospect, it seemed unwise to make any permanent improvements on our present buildings. Consequently some undesirable conditions exist at all three schools which otherwise would have been remedied. Salaries Nearly two years ago, all teachers salaries were cut 20 per cent. This unfortunately happened just as tne tide began to turn in other occupations, and couici it have been postponed f o r another year might not: na\ e been necessary. While an average salary ot $l/.t>u'a week f o r grade teachers may seem liberal to some. \ ei 32 TOWN REPORT, GREENVILLE, M E . we must remember that this is f o r a 36 week year, and that f e w teachers are able to secure profitable employment during vacations. On a 52 weeks basis our teachers are receiving about $12.00 a week which is below the minimum scale of f a c t o r y labor in many places. Some may ask, " H o w are we improving our schools by paying the same teacher $20.00 or $22.00 a week instead of $17.60 ?" The answer is that we are improving our schools by enabling our teachers to improve their efficiency. Like everything else education is progressing, it costs money to keep abreat of the times, to buy the latest educational books, to subscribe to educational magazines, to attend summer schools and conventions. If a teacher is receiving barely a living wage she cannot do these things, she must get along as best she can with what training she already has, anH our children ?re the ones who lose by it. Several bills are now before the legislature which are designed to increase the efficiency of M^ine schools without placing an additional burden on the property tax. The details of these have been presented to you by the newspapers and by radio addresses. Should these pass, however, they can have no material effect on the financial situation during the fiscal year 192536. The school committee has therefore presented to the budget committee recommendations f o r the coming year based on our expected n e e i s and has taken into consideration only such additional sources of revenue as at present exist. Respectfully submitted, R U S S E L L S. T A Y L O R , Sup't. of Schools. HIGH SCHOOL P R I N C I P A L The following report is respectfully submitted to the Citizens of Greenville: Greenville High school began its present school year on September 4, 1934. The faculty included among its members the same teachers as of the previous f o u r years, namely Robert Diehl, Principal and teacher of Mathematics and Science; Miss Mildred Mansfield, teacher of languages; Miss Gwendolyn Masterman, teacher of English and H i s t o r y ; and Mrs. Lil- 35 TOWN REPORT, GREENVILLE, ME. lian Bement, teacher of Commercial subjects. Mr Perry Wortman, teacher of the eighth grade, and some of the high school teachers, alternated in various courses, thus finding Mr. Wortman the teacher in high school subjects, expressly Physics and Social Science. The enrollment of classes was as follows: Seniors, 23; Juniors, 2 8 ; Sophomores, 23; Freshmen, 24; Post Graduate, 1. Total enrollment, 99. In looking back over this year, which is now practically two-thirds over, there are some things that have come to m y attention that I should like to mention. The attendance of the students regularly is one of the most important ways in which a parent can help his boy or girl to get the full measure of educational opportunity. To keep a student from classes even for a day leaves an inevitable weakness in the boy or girl to get back into the running again. Best results are obtained only by regular attendance. Various excuses are offere 1 which I shall not bother to go into here; but if it is possible that by any suggestion that I may make in this report, let me s i y that the most important part of this report is what I have just said about regular attendance. The matter of athletics and the financing of them, t shall also give some attention here. With regard to what has been done in athletics this year, I will say that if the success is measured by victories over defeats, we have had little success. Our football team was unsuccessful in games won. I contend, however, that the reason is poor athletic equipment, thus making it impossible to keep enough boys in suits, and desirous of earning their place on the team. From the standpoint of character building, the season was successful in football. Any boy that goes out and plays football under the best or poorest of conditions is bound to develop a better character. We saw basketball started this year. Under the coaching of Mr. Wortman, I think the boys learned a lot about the game, and in another year they should develop verv fast. Basketball, once it gets started, can pretty well be expected to not only cover its own expenses, but help to cover the heavier expenses or football and baseball. 34 TOWN REPORT, GREENVILLE, ME. A school play, " T h e Arrival of K i t t y " , was presented during the early part of the winter, to the enjoyment of a very good audience. The money received on this was turned into the treasury towards the support of athletics. In conclusion the work on the part of most of the students has been very good throughout the year. For those students who are ambitious and desirous of learning, the teaching force has tried to direct them towards attaining the highest and fullest amount in the fields of education. For the lazy and indifferent student the teachers have shown a lot of patience, and carefully tried their best to bring them along with those of the forementioned group. In both cases, I feel that the teachers have all worked with me in a very co-operative way, and are entitled to mention thereof. I appreciate also the co-operation tendered to me and the teachers by parents, and citizens. It is by strict co-operation between teachers and parents that we can do the most f o r the boys and girls in school. Signed. R O B E R T M. D I E H L COUNTY H E A L T H N U R S E To the Selectmen and Citizens of Greenville, Maine: W e hereby take pleasure in submitting to you a report of public health nursing servicc given to your town f o r the period Feb. 1, 1934 to Feb. 1, 1935. The survey conducted by the U. S. Government on behalf of undernourished children was finished in your town and it was found that rather a large number of children presented symptoms on borderline of poor nutrition and that a corresponding number were in need of correction of defects. This survey was carried on by a special nurse, but during the past fall our nurse was instructed to make the necessary check up. At this check up it was found that f o r the most part the children had gained sufficiently in weight, but that few corrections had been made. At the end of the school year in June, the routine work done by the county nurse was completed. All children in school had had the annual physical inspec- 37 TOWN REPORT, GREENVILLE, ME. tion by the school physician supplemented by the work that our nurse does such as weighing, measuring certain vision and hearing tests, etc. All children from fourth grade through High school who were in the high school building were given the hearing test bv audiometer. In the spring under the auspices of the national program of the 40-8 of the American Legion, school physicians immunized a very large number of children against diphtheria. During the summer four c l i n i c s were held jointly with Miss Ricker of the Maine Baby Saving Society f o r infants and preschools. Your town does not need to be told of the interest of mothers as evidenced by the large attendance at these clinics. We hope to have Miss Ricker with us again this coming summer. A very delightful afternoon was spent with the Woman's Club of Greenville in which all phases of our program were discussed. This club has been especially interested and helpful. In accordance with the usual custom, the nurse, assisted Dr. Pritham in his annual examination of the pupils at the Junction and Grades VII, VIII and High school. At these examinations conducted in September of 240 pupils it was found that 161 were without evidence of defects which might later become handicaps. 51 were found to be in need of dental corrections and 28 needed attention to throat defects. Further inspection of these pupils by the nurse in the way of weight, showed 28 pupils to be under normal and many of these were the same pupils who exhibited throat defects which might be at least partially responsible f o r the retardation in growth. However, most of the pupils were gaining. In the examination of vision 14 were found to have symptoms which might be corrected and of 191 pupils given the audiometer test, 12 failed in the retest of hearing and could be considered hard of hearing. Many corrections however, particularly of the teeth were noted. Later weight examination of the remaining 141 pupils revealed 28 as under normal but most ot them gaining sufficiently. In this group 31 corrections were noted since the last examination. 36 TOWN REPORT, GREENVILLE, M E . The report of six and seven point activity is not as yet available f o r 1934. Old classroom standbys such as pediculosis (lice), scabies (itch) and impetigo (apple sores) seem to have receded somewhat into the background giving the field over to the more treacherous invaders such as scarlet fever. Your town was visited many times during the fall in an effort to help out in the fight against epidemic. Classroom inspections were repeatedly made and suspicious cases excluded f r o m school with follow-up visits in the home. However, in spite of all efforts many cases of scarlet f e v e r developed. The importance of isolation in cases of colds cannot be too strongly stressed. Just a cold may be the beginning of such diseases as influenza, measles, scarlet fever, whooping cough and other diseases. The school is of no value to a sick child, and the child is a menace to the school as well as other public places. Parents are urged to isolate children with symptoms of cold. Colds take more dollars and cents out of pockets than any other sickness and are responsible for many of our epidemics which leave in their wake a long line of disabilities often permanent such as impaired hearing, vision, kidney and heart defects and other handicaps f o r life. The combined efforts of school officials, nurses and doctors cannot offset the negligence of parents in cases of threatened epidemic. The re-check of the results of government survey shows that there are many children in need of corrections, and it also showed that the financial status of most of these families will not permit the cost of such corrections. Therefore is shown the great need of corrective and reparative clinic work, which should be done soon if we are to prevent further damage to our children's health. It is hoped that some plan can be worked out f o r these children the coming year by local agencies. When we consider that the cost of public health nursing is approximately 75 cents per person served, according to the 1934 census of cases, we can readily appreciate the town appropriations, Christmas Seal Sale dollars and donations, and in closing we wish to thank the town officials, school authorities, Christmas 39 TOWN REPORT, GREENVILLE, ME. Seal Sale Committee, and each and every one in vour town who have helped us to give you this program the past year. Respectfully submitted, Piscataquis County Nursing Service by LOUISE B. NICHOLS, R. N. SHAW LIBRARY To the Citizens of Greenville: The Trustees of Shaw Library submit the following report f o r the year ending Feb. 22, 1935. During the past year the work has gone very well, despite the old saying "hard times". As you see we dropped behind this year in the amount of books and magazines issued but owing to an epidemic of scarlet fever, the Library was closed for five weeks, during which time the Librarians took count of stock after the books and rooms were thoroughly fumigated. It has been necessary to remain open Tuesday evenings throughout the school year. Miss Doris Harris has again done volunteer work and we wish to express our appreciation to her f o r the many hours she has served us and the patrons. Also do we take this opportunity to thank our many generous friends for the many contributions of magazines, books and hours of labor. We wish to ask f o r the same appropriation as last year, $500, assuring you that this money will be wisely spent to benefit all patrons. Business report of the year ending Feb. 22, 1935.
