This increase has added considerably to the cost of books and supplies and should be taken into consideration in the appropria- tion for the ensuing year. It was also necessary to engage an extra teacher to take charge of the typewriting and to assist in the other subjects. More typewriters are needed, as every ma- chine is now in use every period during the day, while many pupils are obliged to come back afternoons. Even with this arrange- ment, none are getting sufficient time for practice.
I feel that the town is to be congratulated on present condi- tions in the High School. In spite of the fact that we began the year with five new teachers, a new principal, a new course of study, and many pupils deficient in their studies, the school has run smoothly from the first day. Not only has each teacher worked with energy and efficiency in her department, but there has been hearty co-operation in the management and development of the
.
133
school, and great personal interest in the advancement of the in- dividual pupils. This enthusiasm and fidelity have been reflected in the student body. Deficient pupils have made up their work and taken full standing in their classes. Only six had left the school at the end of the fall term, and none of these because of failure in studies. Steady, consistent work is being done in all classes and the tone and spirit of the school are excellent. This satisfactory state of affairs is due to the principal, Mr. Shaw, and his able corps of assistants. It is to be hoped that the town can retain their services for some time to come.
CHANGES IN THE TEACHING FORCE.
During the year we have lost twenty-four from a teaching force of 43, not including temporary substitutes. Invariably our teachers have gone to better positions at a larger salary. Many of them could have been retained, at a slight increase, for another year. It is unfortunate, owing to the present financial condition of the School Department, that we could not offer them that in- ducement. Moreover, it is becoming increasingly difficult to ob- tain good teachers, with proper training and experience, at the salaries we now pay. We can not hope to compete with larger and wealthier towns, but we should be able to retain good teach- ers for at least two or three years. We must soon provide for larger salaries or content ourselves with inexperienced teachers and frequent changes.
OVERCROWDED ROOMS.
In September we found certain rooms overcrowded at the Noah Torrey, Pond, Union, Penniman and Jonas Perkins Schools. This was provided for in the First Precinct by opening a new room at the Noah Torrey School. All the rooms in that building are now in use and two at the Pond School. The Union and Jonas Perkins Schools were partially relieved by transferring certain children to the Penniman School, where the corresponding grades were not crowded. All the kindergarten teachers are now em- ployed to assist in the overcrowded first grades during the after- noon. If it were not for this arrangement, four extra assistants would have to be engaged for full time, to comply with the law. For efficient work and proper attention to individuals, no teacher should have more than forty children. Out of twenty-eight rooms in grades one to eight, only four have forty or less, while eleven exceed the legal limit of fifty. At the Jonas Perkins School some provision will have to be made at once for more rooms. In that building there are five rooms with more than fifty children. In the first grade there are seventy-one, in the second grade, sixty- three, while thirty-one are crowded in a small recitation room whose floor space and ventilation do not provide for more than
134
fifteen. The kindergarten teacher assists in the first grade dur- ing the afternoon, and two assistants divide their time among the over-crowded rooms, using the teachers' cloak room, and the sloyd room in the basement, for recitation rooms. This ar- rangement does not comply with the law, nor is it satisfactory, but it is the best that could be done with the limited appropriation and with no extra rooms to provide for a division of classes.
BOOKS AND SUPPLIES.
In 1898 the town spent $1,928.48 for books and supplies, with a membership of 1,204. This year the appropriation was $1,800 with a membership of 1,560, with the increased cost of the Com- mercial Department, and an increase of 15 per cent. to 20 per cent. in the cost of supplies. As a result, there are now in use hundreds of books with leaves gone, soiled with much handling, many of them fourteen or fifteen years old, and out of date both as to method and subject matter. Many individuals and several entire grades are without necessary books. Several buildings are lacking in proper equipment of maps and globes, and it has, of course, been impossible to provide for supplementary reading in history, literature, geography and science, necessary to give our children an intelligent outlook upon life and the world they live in.
The School Committee has this year kept within its appropria- tion and returns a total net balance of $139.35, with outstanding bills amounting to $68.75. The accomplishment of this has entailed the lowering of the standard of the school equipment. This policy of extreme economy has been continued for several years, and the time has now arrived when the equipment of the schools must be placed on a satisfactory basis or their work will be seriously im- paired and their efficiency materially lessened.
BUILDINGS, REPAIRS, ETC.
From the appropriation for School House Incidentals, Sup- plies and Repairs, about $450 is annually turned over to other departments of the town for water and light. About $550 more is regularly needed for such items as janitors' supplies, putting on and taking off storm windows, washing, cleaning, and minor re- pairs. This leaves but a small margin for more expensive items and many important repairs have had to be deferred. The longer they are neglected, the more will they eventually cost the town. In all of the buildings the problem of dust is a serious one and should be dealt with for sanitary reasons as it is the greatest source of disease and contagion. A good oil dressing, used as a floor preservative and dust layer, would help greatly. The in- terior finish should also be cleaned frequently and varnished oc-
135
casionally. The slight extra expense of these precautions would be more than made up by the preservation of the building and the elimination of epidemics.
MEDICAL INSPECTION.
The members of the local Board of Health have given their services to the town during the past year in order to carry out the provisions of the new law requiring medical inspection of the schools. They have given much more time than could reasonably be expected under the circumstances, have always responded readily to every call, and have justly earned the gratitude of the community. It is not to be expected, however, that busy physi- cians can continue to give their time without compensation, nor does the law intend that this should be so. A sufficient sum should be appropriated so that we can expect regular, stated visits, and careful examination of individuals, not merely to prevent epidemics and the obvious troubles which are easily discerned by teachers and parents, but to guard against the more insidious dis- orders which are seldom suspected or discovered except by the skilled physician, and which, in their results, are often more per- manently disastrous than the much dreaded contagious diseases.
TEACHERS' MEETINGS.
Meetings of the grade teachers to apportion the work of similar classes, of principals to discuss management and general policies, or general meetings of all teachers, including those of the High School, to consider the broader aspects of our work, have been held on Monday afternoons throughout the year. These gatherings have been valuable in many ways. They have helped to keep the work in different schools uniform, have brought out many excellent suggestions as to method and subject matter, have provoked live discussions of the present problems in education, brought the teachers into closer sympathy with each other, and . have inspired us all with the importance and value of our work. One pleasing result is the formation of a Teachers' Association for professional and social purposes.
TEACHERS AND CHILDREN.
We have in our schools an exceptionally earnest and efficient body of teachers, devoted to their work and to the advancement of the best interests of our schools and of our children. Due sup- port and recognition should be given them, not merely socially for what they do for the community, but in more substantial ways, by providing fair salaries, buildings properly cared for, and suit- able books and equipment. Such recognition is usually worth
136
more to a conscientious teacher than a mere increase in salary elsewhere, and would often serve to keep our best teachers for a longer time in our employ. It is well to remember, also, that whatever we do for our teachers we do likewise for our children. Those towns and cities that show them the greatest consideration and appreciation not only secure and retain the best teachers in the State, but they have as a result the best schools and their children are the best equipped to take their places in the world as intelligent, upright, self-supporting citizens.
INVENTORY.
In accordance with a vote passed at the last annual town meeting, a careful inventory has been made of all school property and is appended to this report. This does not, however, include land or buildings, which have never been appraised by the Board of Assessors. In the case of books, supplies, furniture and equip- ment on hand, it has seemed best to give the actual cost of these articles, but it must be clearly understood that a large part has little or no cash value as an asset to' the Town; and the Committee is therefore unable to make an estimate of its present worth.
IN CLOSING.
On the whole, our school system will be what the body of our citizens desire it to be, and its welfare is usually assured in their hands. It may be retarded for a time by unfortunate condi- tions, but in the long run the good sense and liberality of the American people will demand what is best for their children. With this belief, I welcome the intelligent interest and the desire for honest information concerning our schools that has been shown during the year by various organizations and by numerous individuals. I desire to further this movement in every way that I can, and am always glad to meet parents or other citizens, at my home or at my office, to discuss school matters in general or individual cases in particular.
I wish also to thank your Committee for your continued sup- port, advice and consideration.
Respectfully submitted, JOHN C. ANTHONY, Superintendent of Schools.

Report of the Trustees of Thayer Public Library
The Trustees desire to put on record their appreciation of the devoted and long-continued services of Miss Abbie M. Arnold, who at the close of 1907 resigned her position as librarian, which she has held since 1874. Her heart has been in her work to a degree not surpassed, if it has been equalled, by any town official, and we are glad to make public recognition of her fidelity and loyalty.
The work of installing new steel stacks has been completed, and a plan for classifying and cataloguing the whole library has been entered upon.
We have been gratified at the increase of interest in the Library, as shown in the generous gift of $100 made by Mr. George O. Wales, and by the, vote recently passed by the Philergians to appropriate $150 for the improvement of the reading-room in the interests of the young people.
Miss Caroline M. Wilkinson of Laconia, N. H., a graduate of Simmons College, who has had practical experience in classifying and cataloguing libraries, and who comes to us with the highest recommendations, has been appointed Librarian.
