We are fortunate in having a corps of teachers not given to extremes. They deal with "nature study," so called, but they do not try to develop a fad from it. They teach drawing to the best of their ability, but they do not try to make it do half the work of the other vital subjects. Visit their schools, and they will not call an exhibition class, but will proceed with their regular work, unless requested to do otherwise.
VISITS.
During the year just passed I have made three hundred and eighty-four visits to the schools of the district, an average of twelve for each school. The same is true this year as last, that more time has been spent in some schools
14
than in others. Those who stop to consider will see that this is necessary and unavoidable.
An equal amount of time has, however, been spent in the schools of each town. It is customary for me to make out a list of visits a month in advance, but it often happens that through some unforeseen circumstances. it is impossible for me to hold strictly to it. For this reason it is sometimes longer between my visits to some schools than I would wish.
TEACHERS' MEETINGS.
Eight teachers' meetings have been held since January 1. During the spring and summer terms papers were read by different teachers and myself, and freely discussed by all. During the fall term the time of the meeting has been wholly taken up in discussing the work for the following month. An outline of the work for the month has been handed to the teachers at each of these meetings, in the hope that after a free discussion of them they would know more definitely just the kind and amount of work which was expected of them, and strive to see how well it could be done. The results have been most satisfactory.
PARENTS AND THE SCHOOL.
For fear that there may be some misunderstanding concerning the first part of this report, I wish to say a few additional words to parents.
What is the right relation of a parent to a school and its teacher, and how may a parent aid the teacher?
The question is more easily asked than answered. The relation is such that neither can well afford to do without the other. They are dependent, the one upon the other. How can a parent, "in a proper way," to quote from the first part of the report, help the teacher in the management and discipline of the school?
15
First, by sending his children regularly, and by seeing to it that they are started in time to make tardiness unneces- sary. Second, by requesting no excusals except when absolutely necessary, and demanding good behavior on the part of his children while in school. Third, by saying nothing detrimental to the teacher in the presence of his, or any children, and by deferring all judgment upon the acts or regular work of a teacher, until after he has made a thorough investigation. And fourth, by frequent confer- ences with the teacher and frequent visits to the schools.
So far, I believe, parents ought to take part in the management of the schools.
In closing I wish to thank you for the many indications of your confidence and respect during the past year, and for the many helpful suggestions, all of which have been received in the same spirit with which they are given.
To the teachers who have helped me by every means in their power, by their own faithful work, and by their willingness to carry out my plans, I also owe and express my gratitude.
Respectfully submitted, E. L. WILLARD,
Superintendent of Schools.
