74 <br /> Plymouth. Dr. Policow has already held dental clinics at t <br /> Mashpee and has been engaged for more. We believe it wise 1 <br /> for the Town of Mashpee to have as extensive a dental clinic t <br /> program as possible since the community has no dentist and t <br /> such service is only available at considerable distance, and c <br /> many cannot afford private dental fees. r <br /> At the last town meeting, a special appropriation was i <br /> made for improving the parking area and to provide walks at t <br /> the school. The work was put out to bid, and we were happy s <br /> that it was possible for us to get a good parking area plus t <br /> a fine walk from the front of the building to both rear en- t <br /> trances. Perhaps at some future time, should the need arise, <br /> it would be wise to provide additional parking space on the <br /> opposite side of the building. 1 <br /> r <br /> We greatly appreciate the co-operation of the Town High- 1 <br /> way Surveyor in sealcoating the driveway. This work insures <br /> a good driveway and prevents it from cracking up. f <br /> Elementary teachers are in great demand. The supply <br /> does not begin to meet the demand. The problem is acute in t <br /> communities that are at considerable distance from metro 1 <br /> e, it is even more difficult since ] <br /> politan areas. For Mashpe <br /> Mashpee is quite remote and there is no public transportation, <br /> Two of our teachers resigned last summer to accept teaching <br /> positions in Falmouth, and we were fortunate in being able <br /> to secure trained replacements. Another factor that makes 1 <br /> it difficult to secure teachers for Mashpee is the amount of <br /> salary we can pay. Mashpee is a small community. Its 1 <br /> school is small. Even though the salaries are relatively low, <br /> the per capita teaching cost is high. Included in the budget <br /> Ali i'p3 S <br /> =1 is but a nominal increase of $100 per teacher. We hope that 1 <br /> this will retain our able teachers. 1 <br /> j `t.' <br />!j,a Citizens who have read the reports of the superintendent i <br /> �I`1 of schools during the past twenty-five years have noted on a <br /> number of occasions comments in regard to the attendance <br /> and accomplishment of Mashpee students at Falmouth High <br /> School. Many times these remarks have expressed disap <br /> oungsters <br /> pointment and deep concern because Mashpee y <br /> I� III <br /> 'II <br />
