In the town report, I have spoken of the excellent building provided for the consolidated schools. I am glad to learn that the town has voted to replace the defective basement floor, and I trust the committee may have funds sufficient to finish the school-room walls and to improve the blackboards. For
19
the latter purpose, natural slate is probably the best material, and, in the long run, the cheapest.
The storms of the winter, together with illness of pupils, have seriously affected the attendance. It is hoped that parents, pupils and teachers will make a united effort to re- cover as much as possible of the losses sustained.
No changes in text-books have thus far been recommended. It will be advisable soon, however, to select a new series in arithmetic and language, as the present books are badly worn and deficient in number.
As the town sends its high school pupils to Worcester, we endeavor to conform to the Worcester course of study in the higher grades. A class of six are now trying to complete the ninth grade work, preparatory to the Worcester examination.
Rutland. During the summer vacation the committee se- lected a new high school principal and his assistant, as well as new teachers for North and West Rutland. The teacher chosen for North Rutland resigned after five weeks' service, and the teacher named in the table was secured for the va- cancy. The primary room at the Center became so large that an assistant was necessary, and Miss Ruth Butterfield was en- gaged to act in that capacity. During the illness for several weeks of Miss Haskell, her place was acceptably supplied by Mrs. W. C. Temple.
I have averaged a visit to each school once a fortnight, and have held four teachers' meetings, two of them on Saturdays. I have found the teachers of Rutland energetic and faithful, and excellent work is being done.
No class was admitted to the high school at the opening of the fall term, the standard having been raised one year. Pu- pils will hereafter be required to complete satisfactorily the eight-year elementary course before being promoted to the high school. The work done in the grammar grades is in- creasing both in amount and quality, and the close of the year will show a decided advance all along the line. It will soon be practicable to confine the high school instruction to those subjects usually considered of secondary grade.
20
At my request for a brief statement regarding his work, Mr. Ayer hands me the following:
RUTLAND HIGH SCHOOL.
It has been the aim of the teachers to attain results both sound and progressive, to have the work practical and thorough. Great stress has been laid.on written work, good expression being demanded. We have tried to have all oral recitations clear and concise.
Rhetoricals and spelling have been required of the whole school. In the languages, we are striving to give the students a concise and thorough knowledge of the elements of Latin and French, in order to secure accuracy in translation and an appreciation of the classic mas- terpieces which may be required of them in the latter part of their course.
The principal's assistant, Miss Edith Brown, has taken the eighth grade in two subjects in addition to her work in the high school.
The only new books purchased have been two sets for sup- plementary reading in intermediate grades, and the Werner Arithmetic, Book I, for the fourth grade, which formerly had no book in arithmetic. The complete introduction of the Werner series is proposed. A characterization of these books will be found in the Oakham notes.
A set of rules for the care and management of the new building and its grounds has been adopted by the committee, and posted for the guidance of pupils and teachers. It is hoped that during the coming season more work may be done toward securing appropriate surroundings for this building in the shape of lawns and shrubbery. The teachers are ready to co-operate in caring for both building and grounds. In this connection let me say that the renovation of the interior of both the other school buildings of the town would add greatly to their appearance and to the comfort of the pupils.
The superintendent is pleased to note the approval of his work expressed by the committee in their recent report, and hopes it may continue to merit such approval.
CONCLUSION.
Chapter 248, Acts of 1900, makes it obligatory upon the school committees of towns and cities of the state after July 1, 1902, to
21
employ a superintendent who "under the direction and control of the committee, shall have the care and supervision of the public schools." All details regarding his powers and duties are left entirely to the committee. In a special report on Su- pervision of Schools, prepared by State Agent John T. Prince, and published by the Board of Education, the following ad- visory statement is given:
The powers and duties of a superintendent should consist mainly of matters directly relating to the teaching and training of children, in- cluding (1) advisory power with respect to the building and alteration of school-houses, the selection of equipments, the adoption of a course of studies, the election and dismissal of teachers and the expulsion of pupils; (2) full power with respect to the choice of apparatus and supplies, the preparation of course of studies, the nomination of teach- ers, the filling of temporary vacancies in the teaching force, the su- pervision of teachers' work, the calling and conducting of teachers' meetings and the elassification and promotion of pupils.
In the absence of definite instructions from the committees, I have assumed the above as a general outline of what has been expected from me. I thank the various committees for the opportunities of frequent consultation with them, and for the help their counsel has given.
I trust that in the future as in the past there may be entire harmony of aims and the most helpful co-operation among parents, teachers, the superintendent, and the committee in fur- thering the most important interest of our communities, "the teaching and training of children."
Respectfully submitted,
HERBERT J. JONES, Superintendent of Schools.

This report chronicles another prosperous year for the Associa- tion. The health of the inmates has been good, bountiful crops have been harvested, and the herd of cattle increased, so that it now con- sists of twenty cows and a bull. The returns from which have been satisfactory, notwithstanding the high price of grain. The milk was sold at twenty-eight cents for six months beginning with April first, and at thirty cents for the balance of the year. This was the high- est offer received, and was paid by a son of the Warden, who boards at the farm, paying $20 a month for himself and horse.
A dam has been built by the Town of Holden, which flows a reservoir that furnishes an unfailing supply of running water, there- by satisfactorialy settling the water question.
The hearts of the inmates were again gladdened by the Hon. F. S. Coolidge, of Fitchburg, who furnished his usual bountiful Christmas dinner.
Mr. A. L. Potter and wife have been engaged for the ensuing year to fill the position so acceptably filled by them for the last six years.
