of the

City Government for the Year 1946

The city government for 1946 was organized Monday evening,

January 7, 1946, at a meeting held in the main hall of the Opera

House and Mayor Henry J. Proulx delivered the following in-

augural address:

Mayor Proulx's Inaugural

Reverend Father, Members of the City Council and my fellow

citizens

:

Few if any have been privileged to assume this signal honor

that I hold £0 proudly tonight of being inaugurated for the

seventh time Mayor of your city, one of the finest communities

in the State of New Hampshire. For this distinction I am deeply

grateful and am fully aware of its meaning and the responsibil-

ities involved. As in the past inaugurals I accept them and pledge

you my continued efforts, dedicated to Good Government, a plat-

form sustained since 1940, a pledge fulfilled in the interest of apeople who recognize that their confidence while delegated to a

public official is a mandate for their social and economic ad-

vancement and which should never be secondary to persons,

groups or privileges. I am confident that this pledge for good

government will be vigorously supported by my colleagues and

associates in this 1946 Council who hold their seats of honor by

virtue of an integrity, recognized by those electing them. I amalso equally confident that even the "Closed Doors" sessions so

mysteriously referred to by the opposition in the last campaign

that usually precedes the regular monthly meeting to which they

"Will be invited to attend, will not, in any way, have any effect on

the freedom of their minds, not any more at least than the pro-

cedure had on the minds of the members of the Republican Party

who created the precedent from 1895 to 1940, which does not call

for any criticism I am sure, but simply to remind us that the

charter and the provisions governing our city government estab-

lished a two party system of government, and assumes this ob-

vious behavior. However, I challenge any presumption by the

chairman of the Republican city committee in his publication of

the "yellow sheet", with its falsehoods, to infer that "closed door

sessions" are veiled mediums of legislation intended to escape the

observation of the public or press; the record of the city council

for the past six years now a public document subscribes to refute

any allegation, and its record achieved in legislation and progress,

acclaimed by State and County organizations in New Hampshire,

has been accomplished almost without the exception of a dis-

senting voice, even by members of this body representing the

minority party.

The day has passed when a public can be stampeded in the last

minutes of a campaign by desperation or its dispositions, public

trust today does intend to reward its justification but is quick

to censor personal advancement unless a reliance is qualified and

unless it has at least a promise that can be translated into action,

that seeks to promote posterity for the advancement of all the

people.

The news released in the past year with its promise of peace,

came to our nation and world with the surrender of Japan andbrought a response of joy that was unbounded and deserved after

four years of an anxious vigil, and for the first time in this long

period brought to us the hope of peace and the return of our

loved ones. The cost of lives in this recent struggle, which spared

no community in this entire nation, has tempered the limitations

of our rejoicing notwithstanding the steady return to our midst

of boys that left this community on a mission that at all times

made their safety one of doubt and question. As we greet themon returning we sense with pride the privilege of calling themour own and admire their composure and manner in which they

refer to the contribution they have made, and which, in success,

is so modestly attributed to their comrades at arms who by the

sacrifices of their lives, have fiist honor, first glory and perpetua-

tion. They quietly remind us that this reunion could not be

possible without the sacrifice of their colleagues and to them they

owe their existence. This is the American, to us hardly old

enough to assume such a responsibility, who has always been our

next door neighbor, who left in his school age and although he

has covered himself with glory, isn't moved by his achievements

in his duty for his country, big enough for any contingency, one

wortliy of carrying on and contributing to the destiny and tradi-

tion of his country for which he and his associates so valiantly

fought and died, one who fully realizes the meaning of democracy

6

and who can be relied upon to preserve its meaning and what it

stands for. To tho.se tonight who are unable to accept the ter-

mination of tlie second Ww>rld war as one of complete happiness

for them as the result of the nature of injuries inflicted on your

dear ones or who will be deprived of seeing them again for the

supreme sacrifice they have made may your grief find solace in

the dignity of the cause of a grateful nation and hopeful hu-

manity for which they suffered and died.

Thankful for peace at last, for all intents and purposes the

period of bloodshed is over and now remains the task of adjusting

ourselves ioUowing that period of four years of war. The road

ahead will be long and difficult with its obstacles, detours and

complications, which we must face and which necessarily follow

such a period of experience as a war but I am confident that with

the unity we have met any crisis, our problems will be solved

by adhering to patience, effort and judgment that we are capable

of applying. Dispatch in clearing the way for re-conversion is

expedient to meet our obligations first to the veterans returning

to civilian life who are entitled and expect, security and promise

by their services already rendered, and secondly to prove to the

world anxiously watching us that we are worthy of leadership in

peace as in war so necessary to influence the pattern of theii

government by our example for understanding and peace.

If we had to believe some writers and commentators, we should

lose all confidence in the diplomatic ability of our leaders today

who, and I quote "by their blunders and judgment are sowing the

seed of a third world war". Nothing could be so absurd, andwould it be possible that since between the period of war and the

declaration of peace, that we would be deprived of a leadership

that was able and did bring a world conflict to a successful con-

clusion, featured by the guidance of their leadership?

I will never subscribe to any such hysterical conclusions andneither will I be alarmed with the dimensions of the task that

lies ahead for this leadership. We have the finest in the world

and equal to any occasion and if given an opportunity to cope

with it, without the interference of greed, hate and intolerance,

it will be successful.

Internationally we have always been involved in trading andexchanging with foreign countries, while trying to live under the

influence or era of isolationism: a theory of taking money from a

nation all the while not associating with them owing to the dangerof involvement by dispute that might be a step to war. There never

has been such a thing as boundaries for nations and peoples, just

jO long as there has been commerce among nations, and vuuaj-

we acknowledge after so many years of existence that "we are

our brother's keeper" not because it has been pronounced in the

teachings of Christianity, but because we have failed to dis-

prove that Christianity is not right. I am not suggesting that

we become responsible, to the nations and their peoples for their

social and economic security, if they do not will it as the price for

collaboration with us, but it does become our duty that we knowthem sufficiently enough and their desires, to have them becomeconfident with us, that they will try to emulate us and even solicit

our friendship and our way of life.

If we are confident that democracy works, and we know it does,

as we have been privileged to live under its protection for all

these years, we should know each other more, to justify our

participation in a move to establish an understanding amongmen. I am confident that at home we will meet the challenge

of our domestic problems which necessarily result as an aftermath

cf four years of war. We will have to do it with dispatch and in

a decisive manner if we hope to sustain our leadership in the world

which is necessary and if we hope to prove to the eleven million

of oi*r sons and daughters who will be returning to us shortly,

upon whom rested the responsibility of victory that their home-coming is truly to be one of promise in a land of plenty.

Domestically two giants, Labor and Management, retarding

our recovery program, are struggling to reach an vmderstanding

and in a true American manner, are airing their differences,

now that the emergency is over; they are emphasizing and out-

spoken in an effort to reach decisions on their positions, although

unfortunately are drawing criticism and even condemnation from

many quarters; we must remember that both Labor and Man-agement have already demonstrated what they can do whenunified in the second World War and its crisis, and the samepatriotism that glorified them to the greatest heights in American

Production, which was a factor in determining the successful

prosecution of the war to an end, will be the same spirit that will

prom.pt and guide them for a solution to their problems today.

They are Americans First.

We are in a world today that is changing to adjustment, which

will have to be recognized by both Labor and Management, andthe degree of success they will achieve in understanding in their

controversy will rest greatly on the recognition of their indis-

pensable partnership that is necessary to implement their mutual

and inexhaustive interests. Unless wealth and need can find a

common ground in a land of plenty to have a means propor-

8

tional, neither are deserving of existence in the eyes of God or

Man and neither can hope to live under the laws of man-made

creation.

Our nation, in the past four years, received its largest assign-

ment ever to confront it. It was not only imperative that it

should sustain itself and its armed forces, but it became the

granery and arsenal of the world. It is still playing the role of

an only hope to millions of people if they are to be spared starva-

tion and want, and this extends to the needs of even those in

the Axis and the defeated nations.

Labor and Management met the need inspired by duty in time

of war and will again meet their crises by defending their re-

spective rights of freedom to do so in time of peace.

The history of the United States and its progress is one of the

world's finest, richest gems, it is our proudest heritage although

studded with instances of struggle, crises and decisions. The fu-

ture history of our country has promises of attainment that will

be more brilliant but not without the experience and repetition

of its early struggles, crises and decisions; inevitable for a na-

tion that must be great.

We have had many crises in our history, when leadership to

meet it was imperative and when unity always prevailed and in

this respect we have always been favored by the services of manygreat men; one of these great men lived in our day and age to

do more to restore the confidence of a discouraged and troubled

country like his predecessors and will go down in history as a

champion to human mankind; he wasn't, so as to speak, a phys-

ical giant as polio had made him a victim of its dreaded disease.

He did have courage, and he fought that handicap, until heaspired and became the President of the United States. Heserved so well that he accepted the fourth term during whichhe died, and left a country in its deepest mourning without party

discrimination and with the universe regretting his passing. Noman in the world ever received such a tribute from so manypeople. Today, although he is gone, his contribution to man-kind will dedicate to him a memorial that will be lasting forever,

he is remembered as a symbol of courage with lasting evidence

that the only thing we should ever fear is "fear itself". He hasleft to us a heritage that in our present day should be an in-

spiration, by the conclusive truth of his enunciation, that mostof our failures in the past had been due to the fear of embracingthe problems squarely until they were met and defeated. His

9

spiiit lives with tlie problems that confront our nations tonight

and the memory will continue to inspire men and their problems

.or generations to come. A great American passed in the service

of his country and countrymen but the demonstration of his

courage ^vill live forever.

As the City of Franklin prepares to face 1946 to meet services

restored to pre-war days I would like to acknowledge publicly the

efforts of a department upon which the greatest responsibility for

public service was assumed. Despite some unjustified criticism

-.his department maintained services parallel to any in the state

notwithstanding their worn out and depleted equipment and the

skeleton organization available. The highway department and its

mechanic are deserving of this recognition.

Other departments showing leadership and civic pride were the

police department compelled to serve all overtime due to the in-

ability of obtaining special officers, the fire department confronted

with almost an entire exchange of personnel due to its regular

members answering their country's call.

The Water Department in its important service with its small-

est maintenance and operating crew in history.

The relief department, in which exists the only veteran per-

sonnel service officer assigned by any city to answer the needs and

wants cf veterans and their relatives.

Our visiting nurse's association who in its first anniversary

did such a fine job of administration and personal hvuiiane ser-

vice.

To the Park Commissioners for their progress of efficiency and

promotion that found its reward most deserving in its recrea-

tional program that played such an important role in minimizing

3hild delinquency in our community.

Mindful that leadership and civic duty deserves comment at

f;his time I do not, however, want to acknowledge that the effi-

ciency of some of our departments cannot be improved to meet

the demands of normal times. Ic is the intention of the admin-

istration to meet with all departmental committees and leaders

to devise plans under recommendations that will effect standards

expected of them to again function with the highest service

possible.

Facing our financial problems for 1946 suggests adjustment of

compensation of personnel throughout all departments in our

community. Their adjustment, after careful study, should be

10

based en responsibility, qualification and a standard of wageand hours that will meet accepted standards cf work weeks nowestablished for union labor, mindful of our economic conditions

of our day. Wages and their scale should be permanent, predicat-

ed not en compensations received in 1940 but on the standards of

1940 as the basis for their determination in 1946. The enabling

act in the statutes of the State of New Hampshire for the creation

of a capital reserve fund would have a full justification if cities

could have by taxation accumulated a cushion in capital to meet

the needs of their post-war period. But in answer to many in-

quiries may I explain that the statutes provided only city mu-nicipal water departments by revenues from rentals to establish

such a fund and then by adherence to certain required conditions.

During the year 1946 the agenda for capital outlays will have

to be provided for to replace obsolete, worn and new highway

equipment.

Development cf Daniell Paik Plot for veterans, with roads,

sewers and other facilities, extension of Edwards Street sewer,

sidewalks, completion of Ward One playground, surfacing andloaming of Odell Park, installation of new street signs, these

will entail a substantial amount and which should not be levied

on a taxable year, but rather raised by a bond issue to be retired

in ten years at rates of I'/c to I'l*"; per thousand.

In cur community the problem of first order that is con-

fronting your government is the housing emergency that is seri-

ously social and physiological in scope and which comes at a time

following a twenty year need and made more urgent and neces-

sary to meet the new marriages and migrations of returning vet-

erans and their families. The program so urgently needed is not

without its complications as lack of building materials and the

imcertainty of the costs involved are contingent to any progress

and the promise of any relief in this situation. However every

effort po.ssible is being made by your city government to meetthis need and progress in this direction by spring should be

effective. The development of the Daniell Park area for veterans

is as unique a program as has bsen suggested by any communityin New England and has a promise cf encouragement with even

the assurance of building materials if the recent recommendation

of the park commission is adopted by your city council. This

involves a plan to cut all lumber en its premises at Webster Lake

and to offer the material to all returning veterans building onthat area at a price bearing on cost, plus value of lumber onthe stump According to estimates now in the hands of that

committee, probably enough lumber can be processed to answer

the requirement for thirty homes.

11

The vote of November 2Vth on the referendum on Municipal

Light and Power expressed a surprising interest of the people,

in tlie restoration to them of their water resources that the City

of FrankUn so richly possesses and which now rests with private

ownership. For the first time in our city's political history, anissue was placed before our people and considering its impor-

tance was one of the finest contributions of independent voting

ever experienced. May I congratulate our citizens on their ac-

tivity and interest in an issue, which is now admitted by state

authorities as one of the first steps leading to public ownership

of the cities' richest endowments. Quoting the headlines in our

state's largest circulated newspapers, it is now a matter of time

when all water resources will be restored to public control.

Among supporters of Municipal Light and Power some dis-

appointment has been expressed for the failure of passage of the

referendum, but to them they can be assured the struggle has

just begun. We cannot be and will not be discouraged by this

temporary setback. Our failure in our last election on the

Municipal Light and Power referendum, which was merely a vote

on the sentiment of the people, can be attributed to the time

people had to study it and our inability to counteract the op-

positions' professional and trained emissaries that converged in

our community for its defeat. Nebraska has just taken over the

state's last private utility in accordance to Time Magazine of

January 7, 1946 reporting that "after a year's operation, the utility

has a net earned surplus of $661,000.00." If it can happen in

Nebraska, it can be done here in New Hampshire.

Since this issue has been before the people of Franklin, I have

been receiving letters praising the foresight and the possibilities

of public ownership of Municipal Light and Power Plants. This

interest in the promise of water resources for municipalities is

not confined to our community but is statewide evidenced by the

interest. Private utilities in our state will never be able to ex-

plain why a state with more water resources for its size than anyin the nation, should be one of the two that impose the highest

retail electric rates in the nation.

In conclusion, as we confront the year of 1946, this will es-

tablish the tomorrow of today, let us in effort, sacrifice and en-

deavor train our abilities in the direction of a goal that has been

for years the promise to be recognized by our complete victory

over sources of evil and constantly remember that its security

will rest on the abolition of hate or intolerence that always gives

rise to the disturbance of the peace. I wish you all a HappyNew Year.

Franklin Pnblic Library

Librarian's Report

To the Trustees of the Franklin Public Library:

The official ending of World War II in 1946 coincides with the

ending of a calendar year, and we are reminded that while someproblems of the world may have been solved, many remain andothers arise as peace progresses. It is with such a thought in

mind that it is possible to state that any institution called a

public library, if it is of a reasonable size, is in the communityfor the purpose of helping many persons. We think of students,

business and professional men and women, those employed in-

dustrially, parents, children, and just the average citizen of anyplace. With the need for current and up-to-date information

on a variety of subjects the public library Ls one of the chief

sources for what is sought.

Registrations

New borrowers for 1946 have totaled 405, but weeding of the

file for removals, death or non-use of library facilities since 1943

has deleted 400 names, leaving an active borrowers' list of 2,938.

Registrations averaged better than 33 per month, with an all-

time high of 53 new borrowers in November, which gave the li-

brary its highest monthly circulation of the year, 3,944 volumes.

Reading: Tally

The lessening of reading along the line of war and its allied in-

terests has meant an increase in the percentage of fiction select-

ed by readers. The division stands: fiction 59%% (an increase

of 2Vh%), non fiction 20^^% (an increase of %%), and juvenile

books 19ys% (a loss of 2%%), when compared with the figures of

last year.

133

Inter-library Loans

This year the figures for books borrowed (135) and loaned (125)

are almost equal. Many books come and go through the State

Library as a clearing house. This year the Belmont Public Li-

brary and our library have exchanged two groups of mystery and

detective stories for the fans in both libraries.

Book trails, 8 volumes.

The Building and Equipment

The continuance of annual improvements has brought perma-nent additions that make possible a better library and the service

it is able to offer to the city. A bronze hand rail added to the

entrance steps has been much appreciated. The entrance hall,

the main stairway and Library Hall were redecorated during the

spring and fall months. Fluorescent fixtures were installed over

the stage and in the work-staff room, resulting in greatly im-

proved lighting for all purposes.

A thirty-tray shelf list cabinet was secured to replace the fif-

teen-tray cabinet in use for forty years and crowded for several

years. The trustees of the Derry Public Library purchased the

small cabinet. A new Royal typewriter, with card attachment,

ordered last March, was delivered the day after Christmas. Abook-width reading glass has been added for the use of those who

135

find certain print hard to read. Three plain, second-hand book-

cases were purchased to help in shelving and handling the gen-

erous gifts of books received during the past year. An electric

hotplate, with other small equipment, has been added to the staff

room facilities.

Meetings

Regular or special groups meeting within the library have been

the Board of Library Trustees, the Woman's Club, Hospital Aid,

Y. M. C. A. Committee, Taxpayers' Committee, Merrimack County

Extension Sei'vice, visiting school groups and TB seal tag day

workers.

Exhibits

Two special exhibits were arranged outside the library premises

and are described under Publicity.

Exhibits at the library have been Japanese Surrender Ceremony

souvenirs; Veteran handwork; Japanese children's clothes, money

and souvenirs; Foreign stamps and covers, also special cachets;

War souvenirs, coins and paper money from European and Pacific

theatres; Grenfell exhibit; Franklin industries; Button collection;

New Hampshire display, including local minerals; Proctor pewter

exhibit; Lithium (Things of Science); Book curiosities; Foreign

Christmas cards; and TB Seals and stamps, local and foreign.

Wood carving done by Dr. S. R. Detwiler made a highly ap-

preciated exhibit during the summer months.

American Art Week was observed by a small exhibit of re-

productions of Currier and Ives prints, accompanied by descrip-

tive books and magazines.

The Schools

The work of the schools and the library go hand in hand, as it

were. We mention each year reference work, grouping of books,

preparation of bibliographies, loan of book jackets and classroom

libraries, all of which continue as in the past.

Several school groups visited some of the year's exhibits, and

colored pictures were shown to two classes from the Nesmith

school.

136

In November the librarian visited Hancock, Junior Higli andNesmith schools in the interests of the Treasure Chest project

to be undertaken during the winter.

This year 636 books have been loaned for school room use.

Memorial Book Shelf

The appeal and growth of the Memorial Book Shelf, initiated

late last year, has been pronounced. Forty volumes have been

added as memorials. Last year's report described the idea in de-

tail. The books are grouped together and their book jackets

show what is in the collection, when the books are in circulation.

Publicity

Brief, annotated lists of recent books have appeared frequently

in the local paper under the heading "Suggestions". Commentsfrom various sources show that readers watch for the lists andfind them of interest and helpful in the selection of current

reading.

An exhibit of house plans and books on the building and re-

pairing of homes was arranged in the window of the Public Ser-

vice Company of New Hampshire. During Good Book Week,when the slogan was "Books are bridges" the special library ex-

hibits of the week were supplemented by those in twelve store

windows about town. The books displayed in each store were

chosen according to the stock or service of that store.

Individuals and businesses have had books of special interest

called to their attention by telephone or letter.

Trustees

The death of Mr. Edward L. Welch, in June, deprived the li-

brary of the interest and advice of a valued trustee and friend.

The resignation of Miss Bessie C. Rowell, secretary of the Boardfor several years, was a matter for regret. Rev. Wesley A. Paige

was appointed to fill her unexpired term.

Two trustees, Mrs. Alice M. Shepard and Mrs. Carrie L. Eddy,

attended the Fiftieth Anniversary of the Gordon-Nash Library at

New Hampton in June.

The Staff

The library staff has remained the same during the past year.

The salaries of the staff, including the janitor, were increased ap-

proximately 10% last May, to help meet the rising cost of living.

137

Professional Privileges and Duties

In June the librarian enjoyed attendance at tlie meeting of the

American Library Association in Buffalo. This was the first na-

tional meeting since before the war, and brought visiting li-

brarians up-to-date in their particular fields. The local library

is an institutional member and the librarian a regular member

of A. L. A.

September 19 the Franklin library was hostess to a neighbor-

hood library meeting, with librarians, trustees and friends at-

tending from several surrounding and more distant towns.

During the year the librarian gave three book talks to local

groups and is serving as the Adventures in Reading representative

of the New Hampshire Library Association.

Gifts ^' Tii'^rni

Mrs. Walter E. Burleigh made the library a valuable gift, with

the presentation of her private library of over 2,000 volumes. The

gift provides new titles for the library, replacement copies for well-

worn standard works, and a good number of books of historical

value.

Mrs. Robert M. Leach has given a collection of over one hun-

dred books.

Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Daniell have presented a group of adult

and juvenile titles and many magazines.

Mr. Chester A. GrifRn has provided authentic historical ma-terial in permanent form, for future reference, by presenting the

library with a complete, spirally-bound file of News Digest. This

popular weekly sheet was sent to all Franklin men and womenserving overseas July 28, 1944-October 12, 1945. The gift supple-

ments the servicemen's album presented by Mr. Griffin last year.

Gifts to the Memorial Book Shelf have been mentioned else-

where.

Local donors not mentioned previously have been: Franklin

Rotary Club, Mrs. Frances Carter, Mrs. Bertha Cross, Merrimack

Farmers' Exchange, Mr. Walter F. Duffy, Mrs. Alice M. Shepard,

Rev. Wesley A. Paige, The Journal-Transcript, Holmes & Nelson,

cardini's Market, The Bakeman Shop, also those who have given

duplicate magazines.

The close of 1946 brings the Franklin Public Library to the year

that celebrates the 40th anniversary of its place in the life of the

community. As one looks back it would seem that much worth-

while service has been provided. It is evident that the library

has grown to be an institution that would be missed by many local

individuals and not a few in surrounding towns, for library ser-

vice has broadened through the years. The present membersof the staff take a forward look and anticipate still greater ser-

vice, as opportunities appear and sufficient support permits ex-

pansion.

Board of Education

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS

Introduction:

I respectfully submit my second annual report as Superinten-

dent of Schools for the City of Franklin. This report covers the

calendar year of 1946. Franklin is fortunate in having schools

that are well-organized and well-staffed. The community is in-

terested in the education of its children, and the advantages that

it affords compare well with those offered by communities its size,

in this or any other section of the country.

Pupil Population:

The impact of an increasing birth rate during recent years is

beginning to be felt in the primary grades, particularly at the

Hancock School. It has been necessary to have an additional first

and second grade classroom in operation this year because of an

enrollment of forty-seven pupils in the second grade and of thirty-

eight in the first grade. The grade groups on the primary level

should seldom, if ever, exceed thirty; twenty-five to twenty-seven

pupils being an ideal number. This year's third grade at the

Hancock School numbers forty-one. The result of having such

large groups is that the amount of individual instruction that can

be given pupils is necessarily limited. It may be necessary in the

coming year to devise some plan whereby the size of classes on the

priniary level in the Hancock School may be reduced.

The splendid attendance record maintained by most pupils in

the Franklin schools is a tribute to the fine work done by Miss

Marion Moynihan, the School Nur.se.

146

Personnel:

Eight faculty changes in the year just closed have created ad-

ministrative problems for the various principals and the Super-

intendent. While it is undoubtedly true that some turnover of

teaching personnel is desirable, it appears that this year, as in

years past, many whom the schools can ill afford to lose have left

for one reason or another. It is becoming increasingly difficult

to fill vacancies created through resignations, and the problem of

maintaining a high-grade staff in the schools of Franklin should

be one with which the entire community is concerned.

During the past year, the following changes have taken place.

At the Franklin High School Mrs. Claire Davis, for many years

teacher in commercial subjects, left the profession to be with her

husband. Her place wa^ taken by Miss Rita King, a 1946 grad-

uate of Mount St. Mary College. Mrs. Reta Bigelow, teacher of

mathematics at the high school, resigned to accept a position in

the same community with her husband. Her place was taken by

Mr. Alger S Bourn, who comes to Franklin with eight years of

teaching experience in private schools and who has a splendid

educational background. Miss Catherine Sullivan resigned to ac-

cept a position in the schools of Northampton. Her place wastaken by Mr. Gerald W. Boicourt, a graduate of the University of

Utah, who had some teaching experience in the Navy and at the

Magna High School in Utah. In the Junior High School, because

of the resignation of Mr. Albert Merrill to accept a position at the

Plymouth Teachers College and of Miss A. Louise Wood wholeft to go into another field of endeavor, it was possible to com-bine the two positions and to employ Mr. Edwin Chamberlain as

Junior High School teacher of science and mathematics. Mr.

Chamberlain is a graduate of the University of New Hampshirein the class of 1933, but has had no previous experience as a

teacher. The resignation of Mrs. Eugenia Carroll to be with her

husband who has returned from the service, made possible the

appointment of Mr. Earl Harris, a former teacher of the Franklin

High School. The turnover in the elementary schools has been

relatively low. Miss Barbara Clark left her second grade position

at the Hancock School to be married. Her place was taken by

Mrs. Frances Smith from Tilton, an experienced primary teacher.

The overflow of the first and second grades is being handled by

Mrs. Dorothy Kenny, a teacher with some previous experience in

the sch(>f)ls of Franklin.

147

Mr. Francis Tatro resigned as Supervisor of Music to accept a

position in Quincy, Massachusetts. He was replaced by Miss

Marion Moses, who had served as wartime appointee during Mr.

Tatro's previous absence for work with the armed forces.

There can be no doubt but that the turnover in this and other

years is due, in a measure, to the salary policy that has been in

effect in this community. Teachers should be paid a wage com-

mensurate with the dignity and responsibility of the position which

they hold, and they should have some assurance in regard to the

ultimate potentialities of their position.

What Has Been Accomplished in 1946:

Through the cooperation of State and Federal agencies, a

school lunch program, providing a hot meal at noon at nominal

cost for all pupils in attendance in the Franklin schools has been

made possible. Miss Marion Wells was appointed director of the

program effective in September. Miss Wells is a graduate of Sim-

mons College and has had two years' experience as Assistant

Dietitian at Wellesley College. The program should do muchto improve the health and educational welfare of all of the pupils

who participate.

The standardization of the reading program in the elementary

schools has been accomplished in the first four grades. Through

the introduction of new basic reading materials, an improvement

in the reading program may be anticipated. Success in school

work depends in a large measure upon a pupil's ability to read.

Neglect of this area will result in failure in many other subjects.

In the high school and junior high school, there have been

some revisions in the courses of study, additions of certain sub-

jects and some improvement and replacjement in the textbook

program. The reports of the Junior and Senior High school prin-

cipals will outline these changes in greater detail.

A more effective program of standardized testing through which

the abilities and the achievement of pupils in the school system

may be measured has been undertaken. Over 60% of the pupils

in the schools have been tested in the year just closed and the

results carefully tabulated so that emphasis might be given to the

proper subject matter areas.

148

The program in visual education under the direction of Mr.

Joseph Cashman has been extended and improved. Film strips

and projectors have been provided for the elementary schools, as

well as the secondary schools. A program carefully correlated

with the course of study has been undertaken and a more effec-

tive use of visual aids should do much to motivate the learning

of pupils.

Through the sale of second-hand furniture in the barn at the

Daniell Junior High School, it has been possible to install a com-

plete communicating system in the Junior and Senior High School

so that all pupils may be reached from both offices at all times.

In the few short months that the system has been in operation,

there is sufficient evidence to indicate that its effective use will

improve the administration of the two schools.

Teachers' groups on all levels have been organized for the pur-

pose of determining course of study objectives in basic subject

matter areas. With the assistance of the State Department of

Education, it is hoped that a more careful definition of the aims

on each grade level will eliminate, in part, needless repetition and

"gaps" in the learning process.

A revision of the transportation routes has made it possible,

at but slightly increased cost, to provide transportation for ele-

mentary pupils residing in the Willow Hill area. In conjunction

with the reorganization of transportation, it has been possible for

us to accommodate additional secondary school pupils from San-

bornton, increasing the revenue from tuition sources by approxi-

mately $1500 yearly.

With the re-installation of the oil burner at the Hancock School,

it has been possible to install the automatic stoker used at that

school in the Nesmith School. The Nesmith School has been

more satisfactorily heated with less janitorial responsibility than

under the hand-fired method.

The machine shop in the Hancock School was colorfully re-

decorated by the janitors last summer and now serves as an as-

sembly hall and dining room at that school.

What Needs To Be Done:

The first and foremost job with which the schools should be

concerned is the improvement of the educational program. There-evaluation of curriculum procedures, the improvement of the

textbooks and teaching materials, the efficient use of visual edu-

cation aids, laboratory and other techniques, should be the con-

cern of all in the School Department.

149

The improvement of the physical plant should be undertaken.

In the past five years, much that should be done has had to be

neglected. Painting and re-decorating of the interior of school

buildings, as well as exterior repairs and painting are now needed.

Few public secondary schools in New England have as well laid

out and as attractive campus areas as the secondary schools of

Franklin. The splendid site on which the buildings are located

and the fine athletic and play fields thereon should be a source

of much pride to the community. Many progressive communities

are concerned with the matter of providing desirable recreational

areas for school pupils during out-of-school time. The pos-

sibility of providing a community center where school children

and adults may enjoy various recreational activities under ade-

quate supervision should be carefully explored. With the school

plant centrally located and on spaces where there is plenty of

room for expansion, it would seem desirable to plan for the future

growth of the recreational program in conjunction with the school

plant.

It is evident from the foregoing that your Superintendent does

not subscribe wholly to the theory that the teacher is more im-

portant than the environment in which he works. However,

neither would it do to underestimate the contribution that the

classroom teacher makes, not only to the educational growth of

pupils under his direction, but to the formation of certain basic

character traits that will affect their conduct throughout their

lives. The children of Franklin deserve schools in which the finest

men and women in the profession are employed. This is not to

suggest that the present corps of teachers is other than competent

in any respect. However, as the opportunity presents itself for

the employment of teachers in future years, Fi"anklin should seek

the best leadership obtainable. If this is to be done, more at-

tractive salaries than are now offered are an absolute necessity.

The community needs to be concerned with the determination of

basic objectives for school administration in Franklin. Is it

better to run the schools as cheaply as possible or to run themas efficiently as possible? Schools may be operated on a bare-

subsistence level and few, if any, other than trained educators

will see the inroads made upon the minds and characters of the

youth of the community. Franklin now has good schools. Tomaintain them at their present level of effectiveness will become

increasingly difficult. The shortage of competent teachers will,

in the next few years, have far-reaching effects upon the schools

of not only this region, but of the whole country. If the schools

15n

of Franklin are to become even better schools, the people of thecommunity must be willing to support them on a much higher

level than they have ever been supported in Franklin heretofore.

The cooperation of the members of the Board of Education,

the teachers and of all other personnel in the School Departmenthas made my job a pleasant one. The chance to help your boys

and girls presents no small challenge to all of us. It is the re-

sponsibility of the community to give its most effective support

to this most important community undertaking.

Superintendent of Schools.

FRANKLIN HIGH SCHOOL HEADMASTER'S REPORT

March 1, 1947

To the Superintendent of Schools:

This is my first annual report since returning from war service.

In the year just passed, I have once again found myself deeply

involved with school work and its problems. The hearty response

of teachers and pupils to our persistent attempts to improve, bodes

well for the future of the High School. The general spirit of

cooperative enterprise displayed is indicative of constant growth.

Your willingness and the School Board's readiness to contribute

to our wants and needs is gratifying and encouraging.

The report which follows is broken up into definite areas of

activity, but in actual operation they all blend together to form

Franklin High School.

Enrollment

The trend of enrollment in High School is a matter with which

we need to be constantly concerned. Its growth may reflect

either an expanding population or a higher percentage of ultimate

graduates from each entering class, or both. An additional factor

to be considered this year is the war's end. There is no longer a

need for young men to leave school for entry into the ArmedServices. Our school population this year reflects all of the

factors mentioned. The eni-ollment at the close of school in June

of 1946 was 234. Our enrollment as of January 1, 1947 was 261;

Seniors 71, Juniors 94, Sophomores 96. During the school year

1945-46, we had 21 pupils drop out of school—5 to join the ArmedServices—3 to seek employment— 1 because of poor health—7 be-

cause of lack of interest or offerings, and 5 who transferred to

other schools. Up to January 1, 1947, we have lost 14 pupils—

1

to join the Armed Forces—6 to seek employment—2 because of

lack of interest or offerings—5 who transferred to other schools.

The large number now enrolled in the 9th grade at Junior High

School would indicate an entering class next September of over

100, and consequently a high school population of close to 300

pupils for the next school year.

152

Curriculum

Our graduates, on the whole, terminate their formal education

when they receive their high school diplomas. The number of

graduates attending higher institutions of learning rarely ex-

ceeds fifteen per cent of the class. It becomes necessary, then,

to gear our offerings more and more to the group we know will

complete formal training in high school. In doing this, we must

be ever aware of vocational needs as well as cultural needs. Aproper balance between the two must be established with careful

consideration being given to local and state environments.

In our efforts to improve the curriculum, we have dropped those

courses of study which were primarily instituted to train young

men for war service. These were:

1. Fundamentals of Machines

2. Fundamentals of Electricity

3. Aeronautics

4. Radio Code Practice

5. Fundamentals of Radio

With the exception of Radio Code Practice and Aeronautics,

the fundamentals involved in the other three courses are found

in present offerings.

Additions to our curriculum for this year were:

1. Economic Geognraphy: Today we live in one world. Isola-

tionism is dead. The global concept must become habitual.

World understanding must grow. One of the best means for de-

veloping world cooperation is through commercial relations. Its

study today is imperative.

2. Senior Science: Wherever we turn, we meet up with science

in one form or another. We feel that no boy or girl, who is

capable of the work, should graduate without one year of study

in the field of science beyond the study of Biology. Its inclusion

in the curriculum as a required subject makes certain that mini-

mum goals are achieved.

3. Personal Typing:: The typewriter becomes more and moreimportant with the passage of time. Ever so many other ma-chines are operated with typing skill as a basis. Personal Typing

is therefore possible for all who will take it.

153

4. Music Theory and Appreciation: Too often the practical

aspects of living blind us to the joy and happiness that may be

ours through participation, actively or passively, in music. This

course is intended to present knowledge with relation to music

and allow an opportunity for listening to and appreciating music.

As we look ahead to a new year, there are certain areas of en-

deavor which need further development if we are to achieve pur

goal—a well rounded education for each boy and girl. A brief

outline of some needs follow:

Art: There is no instruction in Art in High School. I believe

that there should be. Many pupils have graduated from F. H. S.

in recent years having displayed definite talents in Art which we

were unable to develop.

An art instructor for the schools of Franklin would be able to

develop existing talents and aptitudes for all pupils.

Band: The need for a school band is great. There is muchinterest in, and talent for such an organization. Proper band in-

struction for another year is highly desirable.

Social Studies: Democracy still fights for the retention of its

position in a world now replete with confused governments. In

such a struggle, it is our duty to establish within all pupils such

an understanding and devotion to democratic principles as will

bear up under the propagandist attacks of other nations. In

order to more nearly accomplish this end, I recommend that the

following change be made.

1. History of Civilization and Modern European History be

combined into a course called World History to be offered in the

Sophomore year.

2. American Problems of Democracy be offered in the Junior

year.

3. Sociology and Economics be dropped since the work of these

classes would be accomplished in the course under 2 above.

Automobile Driving: The auto is a common vehicle of trans-

portation today. The need for a full knowledge of the present

day requirements for good driving habits becomes very apparentfrom a study of today's accidents. Consequently, every effort

possible should be made to incorporate a regular course in the

curriculum for the purpose of promoting such habits as will lead

to intelligent driving.

154

Physical Education

The war which has just ended proved beyond any question ol'

doubt that too many of our young people reach eighteen years of

age with many correctable physical infirmities. It is conversely

agreed that a well organized program of physical education which

includes health instruction, physical and dental examinations with

remedial follow up work would be of positive aid in fostering the

development of healthy young men and women. It is therefore

necessary that classes in physical education, on a basis providing

for at least two periods of health instruction each week be es-

tablished as soon as possible.

Locker facilities for physical education classes at the present

time are -inadequate and unsatisfactory. In order to provide

space for gjTn clothing, it is necessary to assign hall lockers for

gym use. Each locker is now used for gym clothing by two per-

sons. The increased enrollment next year will make this prob-

lem more acute than ever. It is urged that proper locker facil-

ities for gym pupils be established before the beginning of an-

other school year.

The organization of physical education classes outside andbeyond the area of athletic play is now impossible because of the

lack of equipment. If our program is to enable boys and girls

to develop all parts of the physical body, then suitable equipment

is vital and must be purchased. Proper equipment and good in-

struction, coupled with health training, will make possible a pro-

gram of physical education which will render positive aid to all

in physical growth and mental alertness.

Audio-Visual Education

During the school year, a great deal of progress has been madein establishing a sound, functional program of Audio-Visual Aids.

Under the direction of Mr. Joseph Cashman, sub-master, the pro-

gram has developed direction, continuity and self-analysis. As

time goes on, it should continue to show growth in its ability to

assist teachers in making learning more effective.

The program, as we know it today, was inaugurated late in the

1946 school year. A series of meetings for the purpose of edu-

cating teachers to the availability and use of audio-visual aids

came first. With the advent of the new school year, a schedule

of films was established for all departments. Sixteen subject

matter areas are now being helped by our film program. Follow-

ing each film showing, an evaluation of the film's worth is being

made by the teacher and these will help determine the film

choices for another year.

155

In addition to films, the program utilizes the new communication

system for channeling programs direct to one room or any com-bination of rooms. Such programs may make use of transcrip-

tion, radio broadcasts, or pupil presentations. A voice recording

machine and portable sound system are added devices for creating

more effective learning procedures.

In order to maintain equipment for constant operation, Mr.

Cashman has trained a corps of student operators who are fully

capable and who are available throughout the day.

The demands which are now being placed upon secondary edu-

cation presume more rapid and more effective teaching in all

areas of study. Proper use of Audio-Visual Aids will provide

assistance in attaining this goal. We must continue to be alert

to the means at our command for extending the scope of learning

and for obtaining a greater degree of understanding and mastery.

Veterans

During tlie past year, we have given particular attention to the

educational needs of Veterans. During the Spring of 1946, we

made it possible for two veterans, graduates of Franklin HighSchool, to complete a full year's work in Math and Science re-

spectively, thereby making it possible for them to enroll in En-gineering at the University of New Hampshire.

Since January 1, 1946, Franklin High School has granted

diplomas to seventeen veterans. All of these veterans were former

Franklin High School students. The additional credits needed

for a diploma were earned in one of two ways:

1. By receiving credit for training (basic-special schools;

received while in the service.

2. By taking and passing satisfactorily the General Educational

Tests as recommended by the American Council of Education.

At the present time, there are seven veterans enrolled in high

school of whom five are Seniors, one a Junior and one a Sopho-

more.

Guidance

The program of Vocational and Educational guidance continues

to grow as an integral part of the total high school program.

The testing program conducted with the Junior class on November19, 1946 marks the third consecutive year in which the Boston

156

University Testing Bureau has visited Franklin High School. Thetesting, correcting, graphing and general interpretation of class

results is done by the bureau. The individual counseling, based

on the battery of test-s in question—plus other testing done at pre-

vious times—plus school record—plus all other pertinent informa-

tion—is used as a basis for advisement.

The increasing importance of testing and its interpretation for

both group and individual counseling makes necessary the avail-

ability of a person who is an expert in such matters, and who has

the time to devote to this work. At the present time the task of

interpretation and of counseling is being done by myself with

assistance from Mr. Cashman. The young people we work with

are in need of more time and attention than we have to give

them. It is strongly recommended that an additional memberbe added to the teaching staff for the specific purpose of further

developing the program of educational and vocational guidance.

The scope of the guidance needs in Franklin Schools is morethan one person could adequately cope with, but the improvement

in developing an over all program with continuity from the grades

through high school makes such a position defensible.

Activities

Our program of activities is designed for all pupils. There is

sufficient variety to meet the needs of every boy and girl. In

the area of competitive sport, we have teams in Football, Field

Hockey, Ice Hockey, Basketball (boys and girls). Track, Baseball.

Softball, Tennis (boys and girls), Golf (boys and girls), Cheer-

leading, Intra-mural Basketball (boys and girls).

In the area of non-athletic activity, we have a Swing Club,

Dramatics, Debating, Hi-Y, Sewing Club, Rifle Club, Photography

Club, Boys Glee Club, Girls Glee Club, Ski Club, Newspaper Club

and Y-Teens.

In addition, our pupils have further opportunities for develop-

ment of leadership through participation in Student governmentactivities. The Franklin High School Activities Association Ad-visory Board, The Student Council and the Assembly Council are

all active aids in establishing self-responsibility in pupils.

This entire area of work is financed by the students and ad-

mission fees, and its present sound financial condition bespeak.s

the quality of work displayed by teachers and pupils, and the ex-

tent to which responsibility is shouldered.

157

Cafeteria

The Superintendent of schools is to be coinniended for the vigor

and determination displayed in establishing a hot lunch program

in the high school as a distinct operation from the Home Eco-

nomics department.

The program under the guidance of Miss Marion Wells is

functioning well. The new equipment which has been obtained

this year makes the task lighter and more efficiently performed.

Though we do not have proper seating, our daily subscribers will

average over one hundred and sixty.

It has always been a pleasure to work in Franklin. All who

have interests in education are cooperative and willing to help

bring improvement about. It is continually inspiring to work in

the midst of such an environment. It is to be hoped that the

people of Franklin will never lose sight of the fact that their

greatest asset rests in their youth and that better educational

opportunity for them will always result in an improved community.

DANIELL JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL

PRINCIPAI/S REPORT

Mr. Donald W. Dunnan

Superintendent of Schools

Franklin, New Hampshire

Dear Mr. Dunnan,

In submitting to you tliis twenty-tliird annual report of the

junior high school I would like to review the year 1946, to ask you

to re-read our report for 1945, and to present some of our needs

for the future.

Whatever the year may be there are certain facts tliat cannot

change, namely—

1. No school can be stronger than the weakest teacher therein

t,o provision for expert teaching must be made.

2. The center of every school administrator's and teach-

er's thinking and effort is the individual pupil who is unlike anyother child in the world. Curricula, physical set up. Ideal school

environment play important parts in providing for individual

differences but an adequate staff of well-trained sympathetic

teachers is the solution.

3. The junior high school is the adolescent's own opportunity

to have his needs considered and provided for. That is the

primary purpose of such an organization.

It is generally conceded by experienced educators that the pu-pils in a junior high school are at their formative period and it

is here aptitudes become noticeable, attitudes toward people, re-

ligion, work, and play tend to become stabilized, and the physical

well being of the individual becomes all important. It is here the

adolescent becomes a definite personality needing guidance as

never before. After nearly a quarter of a century working with

pupils so chronologically grouped, we feel justified in saying a

definite 6—3—3 plan is the most beneficial to the greatest numberof future citizens.

159

During this last year we liave increased the integration De-

tween the two secondary schools. In several ways it has proved

advantageous while in other aspects it has increased the prob-

lems of both organizations. We feel such arrangements could

be and should be ironed out to the advantage of both schools by

the headmasters.

Our tuition enrollment shows pupils from Hill, Sanbornton,

Andover, Boscawen, South Danbury, and Salisbury and the rea-

sons they give for attending Franklin schools are the advantages

they receive. That in itself is a challenge to our entire program

of providing adequate physical, mental, social, and moral guidance

for all.

In every report for many years we have stressed the need of

facilities which would enable us to open more vocational interests

to our boys and girls, to

1. A course in elementary agriculture giving pupils a chance

to learn scientific methods of using their land to an ad-

vantage. Our purpose is not to make farmers of everyone

but to create one more way of either earning a living or

spending leisure hours pleasantly and profitably.

2. Our print shop has materialized to a certain extent but to

enable a large group of interested pupils to have sufficient

instruction we need an instructor who has had either prac-

tical contact with a print shop or one who has a teacher's

college credit for such a course. Thus far only a few have

had an opportunity to learn even the simplest rudiments

of type setting, parts of the press, care of type, and simple

printing. Again, we are not attempting a mass production

of printers but are opening one more vocational door.

3. A school system the size of Franklin's should offer a course

in drawing and painting that every child may develop not

only an ability to express his ideas in drawing but also that

he may appreciate the beauty surrounding him. Every fu-

ture home will be pleasanter to the eye if its founders un-

derstand space relations, picture hanging, artistic arrange-

ment of furniture and many related problems. An Art

supervisor should be added to our teaching personnel.

4. In school, as in all walks of life, there are those who for

some reason are unable to cope with all subjects offered

in our schools. We have always been keenly aware of these

160

pupil losses and in so far as possible have tried to remedy

them or offer something in their place. Some teachers are

very successful but can not provide all a pupil needs due to

his regular class duties.

A specially equipped room or suite of rooms with a trained

instructor could open an entirely new world to our less

fortunate pupils and we feel it is a definite need.

For at least six years the principal has had School Board

permission and definite plans for such a set-up but the

space has been filled with ca^t offs from all buildings. Shall

we continue to utilize this pupil-needed space for never-to-

be-needed junk?

5. Remedial Reading is another "must" and a beginning has

been made this year. We shall expand this remedial pro-

gram all along the line doing whatever we can in all classes

for those who have particular needs. To date regular

teachers have done whatever they could along this line but

a specially trained instructor is the only correct solution to

this problem.

The junior high school gymnasium has served the schools and

community in a remarkable manner for the entire life of this

school. It has possibilities which have never been realized but

about which we have dreamed, planned, sought for, and pled for

but no provision for accomplishment has ever been made. Care-

ful planning and wise expenditure of funds should make a place

for activities heretofore not offered. Every square foot of space

can be utilized to develop the type of citizens schools are expected

to send out into the world.

The only suggestion anent the above that I will make is regard-

ing the use of the gym on Saturdays and holidays. From early

morning until five o'clock on such days the gym is crowded with

boys from every school in the city. It is a fine thing except no

one is responsible for them so only a small number have a chance

to play. The city would render valuable service to children andtheir parents if they would hire a responsible young man to be

present on such days to organize the boys and girls into groups,

supervise their play, have oversight over the building while there

and thus relieve Mr. Holmes from this added burden.

Outstanding Achievements of 1946

Enrollment—January 1, 1946

Grade

In our administration, we have tried to provide for every pu-

pil's need in so far as knowledge, ability, and equipment wouldallow and our purpose has been to give each child his spiritual,

mental, social, and physical heritage supplemental to his hometraining.

Much of the social training our pupils receive comes through

the patient and tireless efforts of Mr. Sidney Holmes. Boys andgirls spend every possible minute in the "Play Room" which has

been made possible entirely by Mr. Holmes. He sponsors tour-

naments of all kinds and teaches pupils to play tennis, badminton,

checkers, and ping pong. Good sportsmanship, fair play, andworthy use of leisure time are being taught by all he does.

Teachers, parents, and pupils can never fully appreciate nor be

sufficiently grateful for the far reaching influence Mr. Holmes has

upon all who come in contact with him.

Pupils have responded generously to War Bonds, Junior RedCross, Foreign Aid, Tuberculosis Seals, and Christmas gifts.

Let me mention our Club program based upon pupil interests

and presented for the purpose of teaching everyone how to fill

his leisure time advantageously. The greater the variety of clubs

the more interests we can awaken and often times real talent is

developed.

For the junior high school teacliing staff may I express appre-

ciation to Superintendent Dunnan and members of the School

Board for all their efforts in our behalf.

If Franklin wishes its schools to turn into its citizenry better

prepared, more versatile, fairer minded, and more intelligent

citizens through its channels must come the monetary provision

for all these needs which are not superficial but vital to every

child.


BESSIE C. ROWELL,

Principal.

SCHOOL NURSE'S REPORT




Dear Mr. Dunnan:

Good health is our most cherished possession. Doctors, nurses

and scientists work constantly day after day to aid us in keeping

this most precious possession. As we count our blessings; a home,

a family, adequate food, good health, let us not forget that the

greatest of these is health. Good health in growing children de-

pends upon:

(a) The development of healthy habits £uch as adequate sleep,

rest, exercise, a well balanced diet, personal cleanliness and healthy

mental attitudes.

(b) The removal of existing physical defects such as bad teeth,

infected tonsils, adenoids, poor vision and impaired hearing.

Tuberculosis is an acquired disease, usually the result of close

association with an individual with open tuberculosis. The white

plague is still the leading cause of death in the 15 to 25 age group.

The school can especially aid in the eradication of this disease by

thorough education of pupils concerning the nature of this dis-

164

ease and through cooperation in case findings. Our case finding

plan consisted of patch testing, chest clinics and chest X-rays.

Two chest clinics were held in January and in June, 1946. Theseclinics were in charge of Dr. Robert Kerr of the New HampshireTuberculosis Association with 55 children attending. The Tuber-culin Skin Test was given to 133 pupils and seven teachers in the

Junior and Senior High School. All positive reactors to the test

were X-rayed.

Deafness or impaired hearing may be hereditary; more fre-

quently it may be caused by adenoids, diseased tonsils, or by somedisease, in particular by scarlet fever. It also may be caused by

hardening of wax in the ear. Earache and discharging ears in-

dicate serious trouble and should receive the attention of a phj'si-

cian. Normal sight and hearing makes it easier for the child to

progress satisfactorily in school and later in life. Inability to see

or hear well is a serious handicap for the child attending school.

The result is that frequently childi-en are held back in school not

because they are mentally slow but because of poor vision or poor

hearing. Every effort should be made to correct these defects.

The children from the third grade through the Senior HighSchool were given the 4A audiometer hearing test. A total of

1,578 children were examined during the month of October. All

children who failed to pass the first test were retested. As a re-

sult of these examinations, lip reading was recommended for andis being given to 12 children. Four classes are conducted weekly

by a trained lip reading teacher, Mrs. C. E. Hammond of Man-chester, N. H.

Diseased tonsils may not only cause harm in themselves but

infection may spread from the tonsils to other parts of the bodysuch as the ears, sinuses, glands, joints and heart. Parents

should therefore take very seriously any advice from their physi-

cian as to the need for the removal of diseased tonsils.

The Franklin Rotary Club sponsored their annual tonsil clinics

during the months of June and July. The club cared for 27 cases.

Twenty-two children had their tonsils removed at their own ex-

pense.

Healthy, clean teeth add tremendously to one's personal ap-

pearance. They encourage thorough chewing of food, make eating

a pleasure and assist in proper food digestion. Defects of the

teeth and gums often have a very serious effect on bodily health.

Not only do diseased teeth and gums interfere with appetite and

digestion and therefore nutrition, but they may spread infection

165

to the tonsils, the glands of the neck, the ears or distant parts of

the body. Therefore, the habit of visiting the dentist regularly

should be formed early in life, not later than three years of age,

so that defects may be corrected before they can do serious harm.

One factor in the healthy growth and development of chil-

dren is freedom from communicable diseases, such as measles,

diphtheria, and scarlet fever. Every child should be given the

preventive treatments which are available. A diphtheria toxoid

clinic was held at the Nesmith, Hancock, and St. Mary's schools

during the months of January and March, 1946. Two hundred

and sixteen children attended the clinic.

Good posture and good health go together. The person whocarries himself well enjoys many health benefits. In good pos-

ture the weight of the body is borne almost entirely by the skele-

ton, as nature intended it. When the posture is poor, the muscles

and ligaments must bear part of the burden because the bones

are not in position to give support. The worst effect of bad pos-

ture is that it prevents the lungs, heart, stomach and intestines

from functioning properly. Poor circulation, digestion difficulties

and other ills result. Poor posture is a sign that the child needs

a careful and complete medical examination to discover the un-

derlying cause of poor posture. Twenty-four children have at-

tended the orthopedic clinic in Concord at frequent intervals dur-

ing the year.

The physiotherapy center located in the Junior High School

under the direction of Miss Ann Lally, R. N., of the New Hamp-shire State Board of Health continued to offer its services to those

children with poor posture, foot and orthopedic defects. A doc-

tor's order is necessary before any treatment is given.

A diet which is sufficient in quantity, variety and includes

plenty of milk, fruit and vegetables gives the body the things

needed for proper development and functioning. Proper diet helps

assure a, good physique and adds greatly to one's personal appear-

ances. A well balanced diet, regular meals, sufficient rest and

exercise and the absence of defects are all important factors to

health. Poor nutrition among school children is frequently the

result of poor health habits such as insufficient rest, irregular

meals or unbalanced diet; or it may be the re.sult of conditions

such as diseased tonsils or defective teeth.

166

The number of bottles of milk served to the pupils of the

Franklin schools from January 1945 to June 1946 was as follows:

Hancock School 30,555

Nesmith School 14,592

St. Mary School 23,677

Senior High School 13,159

Junior High School 10,040

The children in the elementary schools were weighed three

times and measured twice during the year; a report of which

was sent home to the parents. This affords an opportunity to

see what progress a child is making.

Medical examinations of the pupils participating in the physical

education program in the Senior High School were given by Dr.

W. E. Smith, the dental examinations of these same students

were given by Dr. Maurice Sargent, Dr. James Sullivan and Dr.

Robert Sawyer. It is hoped that some day we will be able to

have a medical examination of all pupils in the Franklin School

District.

It has been indeed encouraging to find throughout the school

year the same keen appreciation and earnest cooperation that is

so characteristic of the interest of the citizens of Franklin in the

health program of their schools.

In particular, I wish to take this occasion to thank Doctors

Maurice Sargent, James Sullivan, Robert Sawyer and W. E. Smith,

the directors of the Tobie Trust Fund, the Franklin Rotary Club,

the American Red Cross Motor Corps, Mr. Dunnan, members of

the school board, tea,chers, parents and pupils for their coopera-

tion during the past year.


MARION MOYNTHAN. H. N

REPORT OF THE CAFETERIA DIRECTOR

This year our school lunch program, subsidized by the govern-

ment as it was last year, has enlarged considerably. In the junior

and senior high schools the participation has increased approxi-

mately 50 percent over last year's participation. In Novemberwe extended our program into the Hancock and Nesmith gram-

mar schools where it ha.s been quite successful. Since November

167

we have been serving about 280 lunches per day and since Sep-

tember have served a total of 44,170 bottles of milk in addition to

the lunches. Our charge to the students is $.20 per lunch and

$.04 per bottle of milk.

We did all of our food preparation and cooking in the HomeEconomics laboratory in the high school until January when we

completed a small but pleasant kitchen in the Hancock school.

From January on, we prepared the grammar school lunches in

the Hancock kitchen. We purchased some army surplus vacuumcontainers which have served very well for the transportation

of the prepared food from one school to another.

It has been necessary to buy a considerable amount of newequipment this year. Fortunately, the government has helped

us to obtain this equipment with the new subsidy for non-food

items connected with the school lunch programs. They have

matched our money dollar for dollar. Perhaps, our most prized and

useful possession is our electric dish-washing machine at the high

school. It saves much time and insures sanitary dishes. We also

have a new large refrigerator and a small one. Another most

appreciated purchase is our electric potato peeler. Besides these

large pieces of equipment we have bought many large pots and

pans. All of this equipment has made the feeding of our stu-

dents an easier and more pleasant operation.

The program could not have been a success without the untiring

efforts of many. I appreciate very much the advice and aid given

to me by our superintendent, Mr. Dunnan. To all of my cafe-

teria workers and to Miss Pellerin, many thanks for their as-

sistance and fine cooperation. My student workers are to be highly

commended for their willingness to help out in many ways.

REPORT OF DIRECTOR OF VISUAL EDUCATION

Mr. Donald Dunnan



Dear Mr. Dunnan:

One of the first steps taken in organizing the area of Audio

Visual Aids was to make an inventory of existing equipment.

The following equipment was owned or available within the school

buildings

:

1 16mm Sound Film Projector (purchased in 1940)

1 Opaque Projector (Baloptican purchased by D. J. H. S.

graduating classes)

1 3"x3" slide Projector

2 Beaded screens (one almost worthless)

15 Film strips (35mm)1 Projectorscope (device for projecting pictures without dark-

ening the room)

1 Sound and Projection room in the High School also avail-

able to D. J. H. S.

1 30 watt portable amplifier with a turntable (purchased by

F. H. S. A. A.)

1 Portable Record making and playback machine (purchased

by Swing Club)

1 Electric record playing machine

2 Mechanical record playing machines

1 Set of Records of Shakespeare's Macbeth

The following materials were purchased:

3 Tri Purpose Projectors. These can be used for Film Strips

(35mm) and 35mm slides.

35 Film strips for use in grades 1-6, both schools

2 Projectorscopes for Hancock and Nesmith Schools

12 Records of selections from American and English Literature

5 Film strips on punctuation for use in the High School

As you know, tremendous improvement and expansion is being

made in the field of Audio Visual Education. Through these aids

the pupil can come closest to actually experiencing what he studies

in the classroom. We are only beginning to make use of avail-

able material. The following is a summary of preparation for the

use of, and the use of these aids.

169

Several teachers' meetings were held with teachers from each

school to (1) Become acquainted with the materials and their use

(2) Determine our most immediate needs (3) Choose materials

to be purchased (4) Learn the use of materials and equipment.

Fortunately there are numerous sources from which we can ob-

tain 16mm moving picture films by paying a small service charge

and paying for transportation. The average cost is under $1.00

per film. For the school year 1946-47 there are already sched-

uled 175 films. Most of these will be used by two or more teachers

in the High School and the Junior High School. They are being

used in 16 subject areas in the High School, 8 subject areas in

the Junior High School, and for assemblies in both schools.

Records are kept for each film which include an evaluation by

the teacher. These will be used as a basis for building the pro-

gram for next year.

The film strips purchased for the elementary schools have

proven to be a considerable help to the teacher by (1) Creating

interest in the problem (2) Providing a real experience with the

problem (3) Suggesting interesting areas for further study (4)

Developing imagination in the child (5) Helping to develop his

habits and skills (6) Helping to develop his thinking and rea-

soning (7) Providing rapid review materials. These films are

used in the following areas of study in the elementary schools:

(1) Health (2) Geography (3) Social Studies (4) Science (5) Read-

ing (6) History.

The records are used in the English courses. The record mak-ing machine is used in the study of oral English and to record

short plays as a part of regular class work. The new communica-

tion system is used extensively in the music appreciation course,

in the study of radio plays, and the rebroadcasting of important

radio programs to any or all rooms. This has proven to be an

extremely valuable addition to our school equipment.

A staff of operators for all equipment has been organized. It

consists of twelve boys and girls who are trained to run all pro-

jectors and sound equipment. They are chosen so that some

of them are available each period of the day. Any teacher is

thus able to use any piece of equipment as a part of his regular

class. Many teachers operate the equipment themselves.

170

During the year 1947, I recommend thai the following pur-

chases be made in addition to continuing our regular program.

1. A new screen for use in the High School projection room.

2. A 16mm sound projector for use in the grade schools.

3. Additions to our Film Strip and Record libraries as soon

as they become available.

4. 35mm slides to start a library of our own.

At the present time I do not recommend the purchase of 16mmfilm. More consideration can be given to this when our equip-

ment has been built up to meet our needs.

Very truly yours,

JOSEPH J. CASHMAN,

Director of Visual Education.

SCHOLARSHIP FUNDS

Sanger Scholarship

Resolved by the Board of Education of Franklin:

Whereas, Warren F. Daniell has by his written communication

addressed to the Board of Education, expressed his intention of

establishing a free scholarship for graduates of the Franklin HighSchool in Simmons College in honor of his mother, and to be

known as the "Sanger Scholarship", and agreeing to pay annually

a sum sufficient to pay the costs of tuition for one student for

four years in any of the courses described in the catalogue of the

College, andWhereas, a student to be awarded this scholarship must comply

with the following regulations: First, she must have completed

four years' satisfactory work at the Franklin High School; second,

her parents must reside in Franklin; third, the student's parents

must be unable without undue deprivation to pay the tuition

themselves.

Be it resolved: That the Board of Education of the City of

Franklin fully appreciates the spirit that prompted Mr. Daniell to

establish this scholarship for the benefit of the young women of

said city, thereby creating an additional incentive for higher

educational advantages: andBe it further Resolved: That said Board of Education willingly

accepts said trust: andBe it further Resolved: That a permanent Committee on

Scholarships shall be established to consist of the Chairman of

the Board of Education, the Superintendent of Schools and the

Headmaster of the High School of said city, andBe it further Resolved: That this resolution shall be printed

Franklin Student Aid Fund

To the Mayor and Members of the City Council, Franklin, N. H.:

In June, 1921, I placed with Dartmouth College at Hanover,

N. H., a fund of $2,500.00—the income from which I wished to be

used to assist under certain conditions students at that institution

who were residents of this city.

It was found incompatible with the methods of disposing of the

funds at Dartmouth College, to handle this fund under the con-

189

ditions which I wished to impose—and tor that reason I have

transferred tliis sum from Dartmouth College to the City of

Franklin.

I am attaching herewith tlie securities representing the fund

together with a statement of the methods I wish followed in dis-

posing of the income from the fund.

Respectfully yours,

WALTER P. DUFFY.

Franklin Student Aid Fund

Established by Walter P. Duffy, June. 1921

A sum of $2,500.00 is entrusted to the City of Franklin, N. H.,

the income from which is to be used to assist worthy boys andgirls, residents of this city, to secure a collegiate education or its

equivalent.

The recipients of the income from this fund are to be selected

by a board of three consisting of the Chairman of the Board of

Education, Superintendent of Schools and Principal of the HighSchool of the City of Franklin, N. H.

The income from this fund is to be disposed of under the

following fixed conditions:

—

I. Scholarship

A student must attain such satisfactory standing in studies as

to make it apparent to the authorities of the institution of

learning where he attends, that it is advisable that the student

pursue his studies and that he is on this account worthy of

financial aid.

II. Financial Needs

It is to be required that the students who receive benefit from

this fund shall be obliged, through lack of family financial re-

sources, to earn at least a substantial part of the money necessary

to meet the expenses of their attendance upon their studies.

III. General Restrictions

It is to be understood that in alloting the proceeds of the fund,

preference is to be given to students at Dartmouth College, Han-over, N. H., who are residents of the City of Franklin, N. H. If

no such students apply for the benefits of this fund, then the

190

income can be used to assist any boys or girls who are residents

of the City of Franklin, N. H., and who are pursuing a course of

studies in any institution of learning giving a collegiate education

or its equivalent, provided that the first two conditions covering

the disposition of the benefits of this fund are fulfilled.

It is also to be understood that the income from this fund maybe divided between two or more students, and that any students

who receive financial aid from the institutions of learning where

they attend are not thereby prevented from receiving aid fromthis fund.

If no students fulfilling the above requirements apply for the

benefit of this fund the proceeds may be used as they accrue

each year as seems best to the three persons mentioned above

for the general educational good of the citizens of Franklin, N. H.

teen.
