REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
Holden, Mass., January 1, 1920.
To the School Committee of the Town of Rutland:
I submit herewith my second annual report, the twentieth in the series since the formation of the present union.
Teachers and Salaries
The table of statistics will give the list of teachers for the year 1918-1919. It was an unusual year, due to the epidemic of influenza, which resulted in much irregularity in attendance and frequent changes in teachers. The fall term 1919 opened with but four of last year's teaching force present. Mr. V. B. Moody took Mr. Shepherd's place as principal of the high school, and Miss Ethel F. Putnam came to us as high school assistant. In the grades Miss Lucy M. Donahue and Miss Mary Tilly were new at the Center.
At the end of the fall term Miss O'Leary resigned her position at the West school, and at the time of writing her place had not been filled. In keeping with the trend of the times we have increased teachers' salaries, but- further increases will be neces- sary in order to hold or secure good teachers. It is practically impossible at the present time to get a teacher to consider a school with six, seven, or eight grades in a rural community at the salaries now paid. We are able to keep teachers at North Rutland through our arrangement with the State Normal School at Lowell.
59
The High School
Mr. Moody left us at the end of the fall term to accept a position elsewhere at a salary about 60% higher than we were paying. His work in Rutland though of brief duration was most. valuable, and it was with very great regret that we received his resignation. I ask the special attention of Committee and towns- people to his report and sincerely hope his suggestions may be given careful consideration. The spirit in the high school is excellent; and we are most fortunate in having secured Mr. Jewett, who was principal here some years ago, to carry on the work so happily advanced by Mr. Moody. The introduction of a Household Arts Course, as suggested three years ago and as carried on with great success in Holden, would enable us to divide the work so that Commercial subjects might be intro- duced. The third teacher in the high school would under this arrangement be chosen from the State Normal School at Fram- ingham. The state would pay $250 of her salary.
Legislation
The new law which provides for the distribution of a portion of the income tax and of the income of the Massachusetts School Fund has definitely in mind the increasing of salaries. For each person employed as teacher and receiving a salary of $650 the state will reimburse the town to the amount of $100. If the salary is $750, the return is $150; and if $850, the state returns $200. Rutland will receive from this source next November, on the present salary schedule, $1,050. The amount to be received in March from the distribution of the income of the School Fund has not yet been determined.
Recommendations
In making estimates of needs for the coming year I would urge that allowance be made for the following, either including the
60
amounts necessary or by special appropriation in a separate article in the town warrant:
Sheet-iron jackets for the stoves in the rural schools.
Adjustable desks and a new floor at North Rutland. Additional blackboard space at both North and West Rutland. At least ten adjustable seats at the West school. These might be borrowed from the Center temporarily.
Underpinning at North relaid.
Window shades in both schools.
Chemistry table and equipment for the high school.
An estimate of the cost for the stove jackets, blackboard, shades, and laboratory equipment would be $200. The desks for the North school would cost about $350.
Conclusion
We have been very fortunate so far this year in having no serious epidemics, and the attendance is better. The spirit that exists in all our schools is excellent, and I want to thank teachers and Committee for their loyalty and support. Much credit is due Mr. Oliver for his faithful and efficient service in caring for the building, for his support in our efforts to maintain good discipline, and for his services as attendance officer.
Respectfully submitted,
J. R. CHILDS, Superintendent of Schools.

REPORT OF THE HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
Rutland, December 19, 1919.
To the Superintendent of Schools,
Dear Sir :- In compliance with your request I am submitting the following report with regard to the Rutland High School.
During the four months of my principalship the attendance has been excellent. There has been very little tardiness. Al- though the membership is only twenty-five, I have found that the earnestness and good spirit which pervade the school have more than made up for lack of numbers; and it has been a pleasure to have known and worked with these boys and girls.
It is with the deepest regret that I feel obliged to sever my connection with the school at this time when my year's work is just begun, and when there are so many plans I would like to carry through.
There are several recommendations that I would like to make, which I feel would be for the interest of the school.
The children of a community are its greatest asset. If the high school at Rutland is to be a more worth-while institution, and there is every reason why it should be, it must have an increased enrollment, a broader curriculum, and an adequate teaching force.
Rutland should have a high school of forty to fifty pupils. A school of this size can be developed in two ways; first, by keep- ing the present pupils sufficiently interested and enthusiastic about their work and their school to prevent them from leaving before graduation; and second, by inspiring in eighth-grade pupils a desire to enter the high school. Both of these ends can best be accomplished by enlarging the curriculum.
Of course, a principal and his assistants can do a great deal in a personal way to keep a pupil in school, but it often requires more
64
than personality or leadership to keep him there the four years necessary for graduation. It requires that he be interested in his work and be convinced that he is getting something of practical value for the time expended.
There is no doubt that the present program of studies is too restricted to meet the needs of most Rutland pupils. It is purely academic in its scope, appealing primarily to pupils who are pre- paring for college. None of the present studies should be dropped from the course, but others of practical value should be added. A canvas of the school revealed the fact that fully one-third of the pupils would elect a commercial course, if offered, while another third are interested in the household arts. The boys all desire a course in manual training, although they show no inter- est in agriculture. In addition to these more practical subjects, some instruction should be given in such cultural subjects as music and drawing. The district should provide a special teacher for this purpose.
I recommend that the following equipment be added to the chemistry laboratory: (1) A suitable table with running water and drains, which will allow each pupil to perform his own ex- periments. Unless such individual work is possible, the pupil loses the most valuable part of the course and is not fitted to pursue advanced work in the subject. (2) A hood in which poisonous gas experiments can be safely performed.
I recommend that new text books be supplied in several of the courses, as the present ones are unfit for use.
I recommend that transportation be provided during the winter months for high school pupils living at a distance from the school in the same way that it is provided for the grades. At present one girl is obliged to walk a distance of more than three miles each way.
I am very grateful to the boys and girls with whom I have worked, for their loyalty and friendship. I deeply appreciate the kindly co-operation of teachers, School Committee, and parents.
Respectfully submitted, VAN BUREN MOODY, Principal.
