T O W N REPORT, GREENVILLE, ME.
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.

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

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.
