You will notice that your Committee has overdrawn to the amount of $186.98. This was due to the fact that we were obliged to engage an assistant teacher for the Center Intermediate School, there being 56 pupils, the law required an assistant.
The tops of the desks, in all the rooms, in the center were in very bad condition requiring much labor to renew them and they are now in good shape.
It was impossible to keep the bills for transportation below $1600, quite a little advance over last year, then the amount received from the State School Fund was over $120 less than last year. Taking all this in consideration, your Committee feel that they did well to make no larger overdraft than they have.

REPORT OF THE
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
Holden, Mass., March 10, 1909
TO THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE OF RUTLAND,
GENTLEMEN :
In this, my first annual report, I will try to give you definite in- formation concerning the present condition of your schools, and recommendation for their future improvement.
Subjoined to this report may be found the reports of the Prin- pipal of the high school and of the Acting-Supervisor of Drawing.
You may gather from the Roll of Honor and from the Table of Statistics that the average attendance in your schools is low.
At the best, in the high school, 6} per cent. of the efficiency of the school is lost through irregularity of attendance; at the worst 16.7 per cent. is lost. In school attendance parents may do much. I urge upon parents and guardians to co-operate with teachers in the future to secure more regular attendance on the part of the pupil. This habit of regularity is one of the best lessons we can teach the child.
I would also urge parents to visit the schools more frequently ; it is an encouragement to the teacher, an incentive to the pupil. More- over it is their right to see for themselves how the schools in which their children are educated are conducted.

TEACHERS
In nearly all the schools changes have occurred in the teaching force during the past year. The greater part of your teachers are faithful, capable, and progressive. All efficient teachers should be retained, to do so will increase the effectiveness of the schools.
HIGH SCHOOL
I am well pleased with the progress of the High School during . the two terms I have known it. Both teachers and pupils are to be congratulated on the upward stride. Specific information may be gained from the report of the principal. I will, however, call attention to two acts of your Board which have, or will, mate- rially improve the school.
In August last a vote was passed to remove the ninth grade from the high school, keeping it in the grammar school, thereby allowing the high school teachers to give their entire time to high school sub- jects, and adding to the maturity and preparation of the entering class.
At the same date your Board voted to revise the curriculum of the high school By the advice of State Agent McDonald, this re- vision will be made during the spring term, so that a printed course of studies may be placed in the hands of pupils and parents before the opening of the next school year.
I expect that this "course" will retain all that is good in the present one, and will strengthen the sciences and other important studies to the great benefit of those whose education must end with the high school.
CENTER
As may be seen from the School Statistics the center schools are overcrowded.
In October last it became necessary to hire an assistant teacher for the Intermediate School. A capable teacher was secured, and the office and end of adjoining hall was used as a recitation room. The law governing such cases has been complied with and the teacher of this school has been relieved from overwork.
However, by being obliged to put in an "assistant " the town has failed to get the full worth of its money. We had, as I have såid, for assistant a competent teacher, what we should have done
45
is to have formed a fourth school and adjusted the work of the grades among the four teachers; thereby removing the pressure from any room which was overtaxed, and also distinctly benefitting other schools in the building.
The number of pupils in the center schools is such that the em- ployment of a fourth teacher is obligatory, with a fourth school the cost of maintenance would be little more than at present with the assistant teacher, and the Rutland schools would be placed on such a footing that their efficiency would be greatly increased.
It is well known that the present equipment of the school build- ing does not allow the formation of a fourth school.
Therefore, I recommend that the town be requested to appoint a committee to consider the need of such additional room and the method of securing it; said committee to report at some future meeting. In the meantime I urge that some action be taken where- by we may organize a fourth school on or before September next.
READING.
I have chosen reading as an important example of the " common " studies. The Aldine Method of reading has been introduced in the primary grades this year. I believe that I am justified in reporting marked progress in the reading of these grades. I do not wish publicly to advocate the Aldine system in preference to the Ward, the Gordon, or any other; but I do wish to advocate some system in preference to no system. In primary work I firmly believe in using a system of reading, and in using it to get out of it all there is in it.
New reading material has been provided for the pupils of the upper grades also ; and I feel that I may claim for these grades, improvement. In arithmetic, language, geography, history, the so- called essential studies, I believe that advance has been made.
DRAWING.
We have been fortunate in having in Miss Kathryn Johnson, of the grammar school, a teacher much interested in drawing and ca- pable of teaching it throughout the schools of the center. Miss Johnson's work will compare very favorably with that of regular. supervisors of drawing.
While I admit that the making of pretty pictures is only an ac- complishment, I claim that the power to express one's observation
46
on paper, to conceive and execute original designs, to draw a table, chair, or burea, which one wishes to have built, to gain skill of the hand that it may do the bidding of the mind, is a practical educa- tion.
I trust that our schools may continue to receive instruction in drawing from an expert.
MUSIC.
The old time singing school is a thing of the past. To-day if our chidren do not learn the elements of music in the public schools, where shall they learn them? Our schools must educate, not for school, but for life.
What can come into the lives of the ordinary boy and girl that will add more to their enjoyment in later life than the knowledge of music and the power to participate in it to the enjoyment of them- selves and their hearers ? In what way can the town obtain a more immediate and satisfactory return for a small investment than to have, in a short time, a large number of children and young people able to help materially in the songs of church and social gathering ?
You hear the question, "Can all children become singers ?" No all children cannot become " singers," but all may learn the prin- ciples upon which music is founded, while ninety per cent. may be taught to sing as naturally, and relatively as well, as they now read.
The belief that much can be accomplished without the aid of an expert is a fallacy. An opportunity to study this question for the past decade has convinced me that "worth-while" results may be obtained only by the trained specialist.
Precedent should have some weight, and it is a fact that there are but few towns in the state which do not employ a teacher of music, not as an adornment but as a necessity.
I urge you not as an enthusiast in music, but as one who feels the loss of early training in it, give the boys and girls of Rutland a chance.
TEACHERS' MEETINGS.
Teachers' meetings have been held in Rutland on September 8; September 28; and December 15.
47
Two of these meetings have been conducted by the superintend- ent, and participated in by the teachers, one of them was con- ducted by State Agent Macdonald, who spoke on elementary physics.
On January 25, 1909, the State Board of Education held an in- stitute at Holden, for the teachers of this district. It was very practical and of great benefit to our teachers. Addresses were made by State Agents Warren, Prince, Macdonald and Burnham, and by others.
January 29, an institute was held at Worcester, for high school teachers only. Our teachers attended.
TEXT BOOKS.
I found the text books in a delapidated condition, requiring atten- tion. Changes have been made in Arithmetics and Readers. The Geographies should be changed during the present year.
Changes are expensive, but when once the books are in good con- dition the cost of keeping them so is not excessive.
In closing this report I wish to express my appreciation for the support and co-operation of my colleagues. I also wish to thank the committe for the courteous treatment and generous support accorded me.
Respectfully submitted,
C. L. RANDALL,
Superintendent of Schools.

REPORT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF HIGH SCHOOL
TO THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS :
DEAR SIR:
I am glad of this opportunity for submitting a brief report of the progress made by the Rutland High School under your super- vision. Throughout each course, which I have had the pleasure of teaching, my purpose has been two fold,-first, to fix firmly funda- mental facts,-second, general training of the individual pupil in traits of character necessary for the efficient life. Brief outlines of a few classes will, I am sure, serve to illustrate both purpose and result.
In the Business Class the aim has been toward accuracy and speed. Short methods in the simple processes of Arithmetic have brought "interest " and consequently "effort." I have considered it more important to study problems confronting the average person ir. daily life rather than any rigid system of book-keeping. In Business Law the class has spent two periods a weck in valuable discussion of contracts and property. The Revised Laws and " Blue Book " of Massachusetts have been used freely for reference by both the business and civil government classes.
It is a pleasure to recall the past few weeks work with my Plaue Geometry and Physics classes. In the former I have found that a text-book neither gives the interest nor brings the results that the teaching of Geometry without a text-book does. The memoriz- ing required by text is far surpassed by the stimulus of descriptive board work to individual thinking and reasoning. The work with both classes has revealed to me many valuable truths in the art of teaching and has given my pupils added interest in the subjects .- The methods have had a short trial resulting in positive gain. By the end of the year I feel confident of satisfactory results.
About two months ago a new schedule for Rhetoricals was arranged. Each scholar is required to prepare and deliver one reci- tation and one essay a month, for which credit is given toward the diploma. The recitations are for the training of the ability for
49
speaking in public. The essays are carefully written and criticised, some interesting current question being taken as subject. Rhetori- cals are held every Friday afternoon during the last period and par- ents and friends are cordially invited to attend. The prize speaking contest of February 26th was of great benefit along these lines.
Before speaking of discipline, I want to state that the privilege of entrance by certificate has been granted this year to Rutland High School by Massachusetts Agricultural College at Amherst.
The deportment of the high school pupils is of the highest order. I am proud to say that this school is composed of young men and women who have always been ready and willing to respond to the best interests of the school. The discipline in the grades under my supervision have been[ excellent. I am fully couvinced that the " strap " is not the cause of good behavior. The boys and girls have respected my wishes and there has been but one case de- manding severe punishment. I feel that the existing conditions would not be possible without the co-operation of the grade teachers. I desire to thank them in this report for their willing co-operation with me.
To return to the high school. Each class is well organized under constitution and by-laws. Class meetings are held at the homes of various members. Mass meetings are called to discuss questions pertaining to school life. A committee has been elected by this school and authorized to consider composition of school songs. The gymnastic class held twice a week after school, has done much in developing the young men physically and mentally. We are now working for a public exhibition. Ever since the trip to Barre Fair, at which the school made a good showing for the first time and without training, "the sprit of the school " has been climbing up. All the things I have named above are silently at work nurturing a school spirit, establishing pure and strong social relations and cementing friendships of those " old school days."
In submitting this report I am pleased to extend my apprecia- tion for the many helps and firm support of the Superintendent and School Committee.
Respectfully,
JOHN V. JEWETT,
Rutland, March 8, 1909.
Principal.

REPORT OF THE ACTING SUPERVISOR OF DRAWING
MR. C. L. RANDALL,
Supt. ot Schools.
DEAR SIR:
Believing that drawing is one of the first studies that cultivates the aesthetic side of life, I therefore endeavor to work with this object in view.
There is not a child that cannot draw, though all cannot be artists, but all can be taught to see things as they are in construction, harmony and design.
Two half hours a week is devoted to drawing in each room. One half hour the children are under my instruction, and the other half hour they are being taught by their respective teachers under my direction. The course of study includes, objects drawn in any posi- tion, design, color, harmony, and nature work.
Throughout the building the children have shown interest and given good attention, and I feel proud of the work they have ac- complished.
Respectfully submitted,
KATHRYN L. JOHNSON, Acting-Supervisor of Drawing.
