additional assistance or advice is needed it can be secured through the office of the principal This is true whether the problems relate to learning, to the lunchroom, to transportation, or to books and supplies, for all fall within the general area in which the principal works When required, additional aid can be secured by the principal or by the parents through the division heads Every member of our administrative staff is sincere in believing in an open door policy, one which invites parents to discuss mutual problems of the school to the advantage of each youngster All citizens of Lexington are invited and encouraged to visit They are only requested to seek out the principal of the building so that he may make suitable arrangements For the protection of our youngsters it is necessary for each principal to know what people are in his building and for what purpose Under this reasonable precaution visitors are welcome at all times SCHOOL DEPARTMENT 233 234 SCHOOL DEPARTMENT

As indicated above, the read- 1 Testing Program.

A related problem is that of how to record and use ing of school counselors and other specialists in the area of Pupil Personnel Services information about students most effectively Here again, the difficulty arises in is shared by the public schools and the universities It is my recommendation, part from the fact that the basic assumptions concerning the value of information therefore, that some sort of a formal relationship be established with the counselor about students in the educational program have seldom, if ever, been questioned education departments of one or more universities in the area and that a program Most cumulative record programs are built on the assumption that the more we be worked out which will not only provide help to these institutions in the training know about a given student, the better job we can do in helping him through the of counselors and other specialists, but that will also prove to be of value to the educational program It is my recommendation that machinery be established to school system Some preliminary discussions have already been held with repre- study this and other basic assumptions as well as the specific details of recording sentatives of Harvard and Boston University toward this end and using information about students 3 Placement of Students This area includes grouping procedures at all grade 9 Continuing Services for Post-High School Citizens. At the moment,the avail- levels, selection of students for the advanced program, early admissions at the ability of counseling, placement, and other personnel services for graduates of the first-grade level, and selection of students for special classes and special remedial high school and other adults of the community is quite limited Inasmuch as the services Here again, I feel that some questions should be raised about the basic school system assumes some responsibility for continuing education of people in assumptions underlying our placement procedures If the present philosophy is the community, it would seem reasonable that they should also assume some re- determined to be sound, then a good deal of effort needs to be expended in im- sponsibility for providing these specialized services Of particular significance is proving the practice in implementing this philosophy The evidence indicates that, the need for educational and vocational counseling for women who are re-entering as in all school systems, a number of mistakes have been made in placing young- the labor force after having spent a period of years in bearing and rearing children sters and that the procedures now in use are less than adequate It is recognized that this is one of our most promising sources of recruitment of teachers and other professional, semi-professional, and skilled workers It is recom- 4 Counseling at the Elementary Level.
