REPORT of the Superintendent of Schools.


To the School Committee:


Gentlemen:


I respectfully submit the regular annual report of the superintendent of schools for the school year 1901-2.


There is nothing new to report for the past year. Since the last report the teachers in all the schools have been changed, but Miss Lyman and Miss Bridgman are not new to the town. Miss Stetson of the Center School resigned her position near the close of the winter term. So far as I know, the other schools are doing excellent work. It should be remembered that it is very much more difficult to teach a school where all the grades from one to nine are represented, and to do the work in a satisfactory manner, than it is to do successful work in a school of one grade. Westhampton has been, and is, fortunate in having teachers whose homes are in the town, and who, for the sake of being at home, can afford to teach for the salary that is paid. At some of the schools pupils are being fitted for the high schools of neigh- boring towns, and the best teachers are needed. A good deal is required of the teachers. The conditions are very different from what they were twenty-five years ago. More


20


is required by the high schools. The pupils go from these schools to the high schools at Northampton and Easthamp- ton. At Northampton there are 40 weeks in the highest grammar grade, the teacher receives $1200 a year and has one grade to teach. At Easthampton there are 38 weeks in the highest grammar grade, the teacher receives $600 and has one gradetoteach. At Westhampton there are 34 weeks in the year, the teacher receives $272 or $306 a year, and she has, at the Center school, seven grades to teach. Still, we must try to fit pupils for the high schools in the same time and just as well as pupils are fitted at Northampton or East- hampton. Another thing that makes it hard to get teachers is the fact that, with possibly a single exception, every other town in this vicinity pays its teachers more than West- hampton.


TEACHERS.


The following new teachers have been elected since the last report.


TEACHER SCHOOL


WHERE EDUCATED


Agnes C. Stetson


Center


Colby College, Maine


Ruth S. Mitchell Hill Gorham Normal, Maine 66 66


Elizabeth A. Dugdale Northwest


The report of the school committee gives the facts in regard to each school. £ Monthly outlines have been sent out and monthly tests have been given as explained in previous reports. About the usual number of pupils are preparing to enter other schools next year. The new slate blackboards that have now been placed in all the schoolhouses except the Center are a great improvement and will soon pay for them- selves in the saving of repairs.


Very respectfully,


W. D. MILLER.

On account of the extra expense which was found to be necessary in shingling this school house we have not thought it advisable to put in the slate blackboards recommended last year. Upon examination we found that it would be im- possible to replace the shingle that were gone without injur- ing the rest and consequently we shingled one side of the main building and both sides of the wood shed and entry room.


New blackboards are needed however and will have to be put in very soon.

The slate blackboards put in this schoolhouse have been very acceptable to the teachers and we think much of an ad- vantage to the town as it does away with the annual repair of plastering and new slating. The roof on this building is in bad shape and we think it will be necessary to shingle at least one side and also the wood shed and entry.

This school has been taught during the past year by teachers of experience, and although we were obliged to make several changes there seems to be no lack of interest on the part of the pupils and the attendance has been uniformly good.


At the beginning of the school in September Miss Lyman again took charge and we hope she will continue to teach the school longer than through the year.


The trouble which has heretofore caused so much smoke in the room we think has been remedied by putting a door in . the chimney whereby it can be cleaned and so prevent the stoppage in the pipe.

Your committee found on examination of this school house that considerable repairing would need to be done be- fore it was painted. A new sill was put under the north side and new sills and floor was needed in the entry. All these necessary repairs have been made and one new window put in.


The house has been painted with two coats of paint, and new slate blackboards have been bought but they did not reach us until it was too late to put them in this winter. They are now here and will be put in during the next vaca- tion, which will make the house more convenient and cer- tainly much more comfortable as the plastering where the blackboards are is off so as to let in a great deal of cold.

Not absent during the year, Raymond Bartlett, Bertha Graves.


The schoolhouse in this place was found to need a new roof and the wood-shed was not in a condition to give much protection to wood. A new roof has been put on the east side and the wood-shed has had new sills put under and where the boards were off new ones have been put on, The fence on the east side of the lot, which belongs to the town to keep in good repair, has been made over new. The plaster- ing in the entry will need to be repaired in the summer vaca- tion, and the schoolhouse will then be in very good condition.

During the past year we have had to pay tuition for 10 pupils in the Northampton high school and for two pupils in the Easthampton high school. All of this amount the town has been obliged to pay in advance but at the clos . of the year this amount will all be returned to the town from the state. There will also be returned to the town the amount which has been paid to the teachers as extra compensation for wages above what the town has paid, which will amount to about three hundred and fifty dollars. The amount raised by the town would not pay for the teachers' salaries at six dollars per week into nearly three hundred dollars.

We wish to call special attention to what the superin- tendent of schools has to say in regard to a comparison of salaries paid by this town and other towns.
