SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
To the School Committee of Berkley:
Loss of Time.
No statement of the school year's work would be com- plete without a mention of the loss caused by closing of the schools for four or more weeks. To some this does not appeal because thay are not in close touch with the schools or think that in some mysterious manner the pupil will absorb enough education to get through the 'grade or complete the year's work. But to the teacher and school official as well as a few homes, loss of time is a source of anxiety. Time can never be made up, neither can it be substituted. We either move along with the current of the stream or are left behind with all the connecting re- sults. Although some localities are conditioned more than we are, yet our position is serious, because so many of the homes depend upon market gardening for an income. After a careful survey of the whole subject it was decided to shorten the winter vacation and lengthen the school year in June. Even under these conditions some time will be lost, Although teachers and pupils will intensify their work yet it will be impossible in some cases for pupils to complete the grades. Some work must be left over to the following year and the loss charged to the debit side of life's account.

ANNUAL REPORT
School Attendance.
This is a perennial topic. It must remain such until a reasonable degree of perfection has been attained. That degree is the inalienable right of a child to an education that comprises the first fourteen years of his life. Since that child is to become an American citizen it is not within the province of the parent to say when or how much his child shall attend school. That prerogative belongs only to the state and nation. During the past two years, while home labor has been in great demand, the child has been sacrificed to the greed of the home. The large wage attainable in the mill has so preyed upon the cupidity of many a parent that he has forced the older child into the factory and kept the younger one to work at home during school hours. When appealed by the attendance officer, such a parent will present a variety of excuses, frequently based upon an overdrawn imagination, and continue to cheat his child and the nation. This procedure is radically wrong no matter by whom practiced. Until every man, voluntarily or by compulsion, obeys the laws of the state a stable democracy is theoretical only. To give a child only a half opportunity for an education is failing to give him an opportunity to become an American citizen. Far more frequently than is thought pupils leave school when in the 5th or 6th grade. Such a child, because there are neither books nor papers in the home to maintain school standards, relapses into a degree of ignorance that pre- vents him from becoming a man among men in any busi- ness way. When the national census shows that in Bristol County, of this Commonwealth, there is an illiteracy of 10.8 per cent., it is time that the children were given a chance to attend school instead of being cheated year after year of their rights by their ignorant parents.

ANNUAL REPORT
Any sane citizen need only look at present European condi- tions to fully realize which is the safer element in any country, educated or uneducated.
Work or Play.
It is not a very uncommon practice to have a pupil in the high school so neglect his work that he fails to re- ceive a passing mark. Perhaps a slight margin should be allowed for extenuating circumstances for which the home is responsible; but in the main, it is a personal affair with the boy or girl. He does not appear to sense the fact that the high school is far different from the country school that he last attended and which sent him out to try his fortune with scores of others. In the high school, mark ing time is not enough. Being in faithful daily atten- dance is not sufficient. Faithful thorough preparation of all lessons and good recitations must be added to such attendance. Furthermore there must be an ambition to reach higher rank by hard work no matter how many hours the preparation of a lesson requires. It is not just to the town that pays the tuition and transportation, nor to the state that may or may not in part reimburse the town for such expenses, to allow undue shirking.
