Excerpt from Annual Report of the Department of Education: For the Year Ending June 30, 1964 Pertinent statistics on education in Massachusetts for 1963-1964 are presented here. This report is reorganized into sections and tables for ease in finding and recognizing items of information and to provide for a more direct flow of data from source documents to publication here. The List of Tables shows that the data is presented in two sections according to whether it is fall or end of year information. Each section is further broken down into a series of tables of closely related information. Information in addition to that published in previous years is included to present more of the educational data collected by the Division of Research and Statistics. Definitions and Classifications are similar to those in other years except for financial data which is classified and defined according to Financial Accounting for the Public Schools in Massachusetts. To allow for greater conciseness in presentation, two major changes were made. Cities and towns are listed alphabetically and followed by regional school districts instead of the four groups of Cities and towns as given previous ly. Grade organization information is condensed into Elementary (grades 1 6 and 1 8) and Secondary (grades 7 12 and 9 12) instead of the various grade organization breakdowns of previous years.

This study is an outgrowth of our interest in the history of modern chemistry. The paucity of reliable, quantitative knowledge about past science was brought home forcibly to us when we undertook a research seminar in the comparative history of modern chemistry in Britain, Germany, and the United States. That seminar, which took place at the University of Pennsylvania in the spring of 1975, was paralleled by one devoted to the work of the "Annales School". The two seminars together catalyzed the attempt to construct historical measures of change in aspects of one science, or "chem ical indicators". The present volume displays our results. Perhaps our labors may be most usefully compared with the work of those students of medieval science who devote their best efforts to the establish ment of texts. Only when acceptable texts have been constructed from fragmentary and corrupt sources can scholars move on to the more satisfying business of making history. So too in the modern period, a necessary pre liminary to the full history of any scientific profession is the establishing of reliable quantitative information in the form of statistical series. This volume does not offer history. Instead it provides certain element- indicators -- that may be useful to individuals interested in the history of American chemistry and chemical industry, and suggestive for policy.
