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 1904-5.


At the opening of school in September there were three new teachers, whose names and the schools in which they are teaching, are given below ;


TEACHER


SCHOOL WHERE EDUCATED


Mary E. Hutchinson


Center


Mt. Holyoke College


Clara A. Scott Hill Mt. Holyoke College


Vera E. Chapman


Northwest Northampton High


There is nothing new to state in regard to the work in the schools. All of the schools have been doing good work


24


and the town has been fortunate in securing satisfactory teachers.


The following statistics are taken from the report of the teachers for the school year 1903-4, ending last June. The report covers all the schools in town.


Whole number enrolled 100


Average membership 28.17


A verege attendance 71.46


Per cent of attendance 913


The per cent. of attendance as shown by the report is very good, especially when the distance that many of the pupils have to walk is considered. It is always true that the better the attendance the better work the teacher can do. In most cases the number of children in the classes is small and if one or two are absent it really delays the progress of the whole class because when the children who have been absent return, it is necessary to go over the same ground again. It frequently happens that, when tests are given, one or two members of a class cannot do the work and the teacher explains that the children have been absent. Of course absences are many times unavoidable because of sickness, but at other times the paren, s can help the work of the school by seeing that the children are present when it is possible.


Very respectfully,


W. D. MILLER

The Clark scholarship fund has become reduced to only four-tenths of a share of the Hampshire County Bank,


26


which pays a dividend of four per cent, giving only $1.60 a year, which sum has not been awarded for two consecutive years. Your committee unanimously voted that it would be best to pass it over another year when, according to the will, the fund is forfeited, and what remains, both principal and interest, is to be paid to the American Board for Foreign Missions.


This school has made excellent progress during the past year and we cannot but feel that the mental and oral work, which the teacher has called for, is altogether better for the pupil than the method of doing the work on paper, especially in Grammar and Arithmetic.


This school house bas been painted throughou; inside, and walls and ceiling covered with two coats of cold water paint. The grounds about the building have been graded and are now in very good condition.

Your Superintendent would have been glad to secure the services of Miss Moore for another year, but a higher salary was an inducement for her to go elsewhere.

This school house has been shingled one side, newly plastered where needed. The wood shed has been enlarged, giving about twice as much capacity for wood, new floor laid and partitions put in, making now a very convenient and sanitary place for the pupils.

Not absent or tardy during the year, Leonard Connery. George Searle was absent but one day. Several more were absent not more than two or three days, and with the nine- teen pupils there were but twenty-eight tardy marks on the register and fourteen of these were against two pupils. Your committee consider this a very good record, especially so when we consider the fact that there is no pupil but has a walk of very nearly a mile, and some of them nearly two miles.


The parents of pupils in this school have also taken an interest in the school, as we find that some member of nearly every family has visited the school during the year.


We have made several attempts to procure a supply of water in this section but as vet have been unable to

This report of school work is given from Sept. 1, 1903. to July 1, 1904, and the financial report is from Feb. 1, 1904 to Feb. 1, 1905, so that it is impossible to make the financial


31


agree fully with the school year. The balance remaining jn


the treasury is what the state has given us and cannot, according to state laws, be used for any purpose except schools. There is something over one hundred dollars of this which has been overpaid and will consequently come out of next year's appropriation, and there will now only remain about enough to pay the bills for the remainder of this year.

I find on examination of the accounts of the School Committee that they have given orders which have been paid by the Treasurer to the amount of two thousand three hun- dred three dollars and thirteen cents ($2,303.13).
