REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
Holden, Mass., Jan. 1, 1925.
TO THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE OF RUTLAND:
The seventh report of the Superintendent of Schools is present- ed herewith for your consideration. It is the twenty-fifth in the series since the formation of the present union. You are familiar with much that is recorded here, but a summary of the work of the year together with the statistics covering the same period are desirable for later reference. I have been trying to get together a complete file of the school reports in order that they may be kept with the registers in the office at the school. I shall be glad to receive Annual Reports for the files, back of 1892, and any of the following years: 1895 to 1900 inclusive, 1902, 1903, 1911 to 1917, inclusive. We frequently have requests for information as to some teaching service in the past, and are unable to furnish it without the old reports.
One year ago we were just moving into the new school building at West Rutland. The wisdom of changing the location and furnishing two rooms has been apparent. The Primary Room has been the larger, with all the seats occupied; and we have just bought five more, as the first seating was for thirty pupils only. In the Grammar Room, we now have nineteen pupils. The building has been giving excellent satisfaction, and the work of the pupils and the efficiency of the teachers has been greatly improved. I hope that we may have a flagpole, and that the grounds may be graded. When this is done we may "point with pride" to our new school, for it is a strictly modern plant and very attractive in appearance. Teachers and pupils are trying to keep it in good condition.
96
More important than high scholarship is high living, and we are especially desirous that our boys and girls from the first grade up through the high school shall be trained in the practice of right habits as well as an understanding of them. Courtesy, modesty, neatness and simplicity need to receive emphasis. The school is engaged in moral training all day long, as we are told by the Educational Service Bureau, and right conduct becomes habitual through the daily making of right decisions. All our work should be planned with this thought in mind. In every class is an opportunity to develop those high ideals, tastes and feelings that make for self-direction and self-control, and without which real character is impossible.
TEACHERS
The table of school statistics furnishes a record of the member- ship and attendance during the year. We had several changes in the teaching force but were fortunate in retaining the services of Mr. Allen in the High School. He has acted as Principal of the building this year. The wisdom of the Committee in avoid- ing frequent change in the principalship and the earnestness and sincerity of Mr. Allen's leadership have been apparent. Miss Sherry left us after four years in Grades V and VI. She "kept a good school" and is missed by pupils and fellow teachers. She gave much time to the direction of girls' club work and was always ready to cooperate with us in any activity that helped the school or the children. It is hard for a small town to hold "the best teachers long, for larger and wealthier towns "bid" for their services with much larger salaries than we can afford to pay. Mr. Arnold S. Bryant was appointed to take Miss Waterman's place in the Grammar Room and Miss Peignon succeeded Miss Forster at West Rutland. Miss Dorothy Pratt from Lowell Normal School followed Miss Arrell at North Rut- land and Mrs. Dodge, Miss Henley and Miss Bailey returned to the same schools they had last year. I want to repeat my suggestion made last year that we increase the High School teachers' salaries to a point which will enable us to retain those teachers longer.
97
"The school should be a power house-a sending station- for the generation and distribution of ideas which will educate." Our schools will be such power houses if we secure and retain teachers with the highest standards and ideals. And to do this we need the support of the public that is given with a feeling of friendship and confidence, rather than from the mere sense of duty. Parents, teachers, pupils, you and I-working to- gether to give all the children the best possible preparation and training for citizenship and high thinking and living-this is our privilege.
THE HIGH SCHOOL
There were more changes than we like to have, but we have been very fortunate in securing teachers who have taken up the work with keen interest and who have loyally supported the Principal in every school activity. Mrs. Moulton is known to Rutland people. She graduated from Radcliffe with honors and has taught in Newton and Roxbury. Miss Sprague graduated from Mt. Holyoke and taught in Lancaster before coming here. Mr. Allen's report covers the High School situation carefully and is presented here for your consideration.
My suggestion, made last year, of an addition to the building to include two classrooms for High School use, is in line with Mr. Allen's plan for more classroom accomodations. If we intend to carry on the Commercial Course, and there is no question as to the demand for it, we shall need a room for Bookkeeping and Typewriting, and we must have laboratory facilities if we are to offer courses in Science. The State Department of Education strongly recommends the business courses, and it seems to me that we owe it to the girls to offer courses in House- hold Arts. The High School pupils were distributed as follows: 14 freshmen, 15 sophomores, 4 juniors and 7 seniors.
One advantage in having the High School and the Grammar School in the same building lies in the tendency to view the High School work as part of the program of education, and not a separate institution. 'More pupils will remain for High School work instead of leaving at the end of the eighth grade. We
98
have had larger classes entering High School in recent years, but there is a serious falling off during the course. In the State Report I find many towns with the same number of children in the grades, but with many more than we have in High School. In twelve towns selected for comparison, I found an average enrollment in the High School of 61 as compared with 40 for us. Household Arts and Business courses will greatly enrich our program. We do not want to drop any subjects now offered, but we should add to the list.
THE GRADES
We have had few interruptions, and the work has been done with good spirit and industry. The attendance has been better except at North Rutland. We should appoint an attendance officer for that part of town instead of depending on the officer at the Center to make trips up there. I would like to recommend to your consideration the moving of the school building at North Rutland to a spot nearer the center of population. It would probably save a good deal of money now paid for transportation, and it would improve the attendance. I can see no reason for having the schoolhouse so far away from the village it is supposed to serve. The building should have fire protection and electric lights.
I would like to see a banner presented to each school, to be awarded each month for the best attendance. The Roll of Honor for 1923-1924 is very short. It ought to be a much longer list. Those neither absent nor tardy were:
Doris Prescott Greta Wendt Paul Prescott
Beatrice Russell (12)
Robert Marsh (1)
Some excellent work is being done in the conduct of the so- called socialized recitation. The aim is to create an atmosphere of definite and purposeful activity and responsibility among the pupils. It means careful planning on the part of the teacher, but it develops among the pupils more careful thinking, resource- fulness, courtesy, the social instinct and self-confidence.
99
In September we had a teachers' meeting with two penmanship specialists present to conduct demonstration classes and to help the teachers in their teaching of writing.
In October we held an all-day Institute under the direction of the State Department of Education. There were about one hundred and thirty teachers present. The ladies of the Women's Union served a fine lunch. Rutland offers unusual conveniences for such gatherings, with two halls, the class-rooms and splendid location. I believe the meetings were very helpful and that it would be well to try the same thing again. Mr. Jones prepared for us an excellent program.
Mrs. Hanson of the Southern Worcester County Health Association and Miss Anna W. Johnson of the Massachusetts Tuberculosis League visited our schools and talked to the pupils and teachers about health work in the schools. Mrs. Hanson also assisted in the weighing and measuring of the children in the North and West schools. We have had similar meetings in the other towns of the union.
Acting under the advice of the State Department of Education and the Department of Public Health, representatives of the four towns met and discussed with Miss Brooks of the Public Health Department the employment of a full-time school nurse and also a physician to attend to the examination of all the children of the union. It has just been voted to employ such a nurse and to secure a physician to do all the work in the four towns. I believe this is the outstanding feature of the year's work in our schools, and I am confident that it is a step of vital and far-reaching importance. With a full-time nurse trained especially for school service and devoting her time to making contacts between the school and the home, we may expect real and lasting benefits. The school physician will examine all the children in the four towns early in the school year, with the nurse keeping the records as required by the state; and under a single policy and procedure she will follow up the examinations and make our health work a worth-while undertaking. At an expense of less than half the amount paid one classroom teacher we may expect a decided improvement in the attendance and
100
school work of the pupils, as well as in their general health and posture.
We hope to find a teacher for the work in Drawing. Mrs. Hopkins took charge of the Music during the fall term, but we need to make arrangements with some near-by town for a con- tinuation of this service.
The question of state reimbursement to Rutland for school purposes is often raised. I think it may be well to state what was received in 1924. The amounts do not vary greatly from year to year. They are based largely on what we pay for teachers' salaries and transportation.
High School aid ($250 for each teacher) $750 00
General School Fund, Part I (Nov.) 1,371 70
General School Fund, Part II (Mar.) 3,762 07
Tuition from state wards, if any. In 1923 it
was about $222. In 1924, approximately 100 00
Two-thirds of Superintendent's salary and expenses 386 67
$6,370 44
The state pays two-thirds of the salary and expenses of the Superintendent up to $2900. Last year the return was $483.33, when Rutland paid one-fourth of the salary. This year Rutland is to pay but one-fifth, so the amount returned is correspondingly less. This means that the net cost is $306.67, or about $25.50 per month for salary of the Superintendent. The law requires that all reimbursements go into the general treasury, and that the town vote to raise and appropriate the total amount neces- sary for schools, butt he Assessors take the above figures into account when they determine the net amount to be raised by taxation. So last year, while the gross was about $20,000, the net cost was about $13,630.
"Education," said President Coolidge in a recent proclama- tion, "for the children of all the people, extending from the primary grades through the university, constitutes America's noblest contribution to civilization. Education has come to be nearer to the hearts of the American people than any other
101
single public interest. The welfare of the country depends upon the character and the intelligence of those who cast the ballots."
As this is true of the country at large, so I believe it to be true of our own community. I am glad to have a share in the work, and want to thank you again for the splendid support I have received during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES R. CHILDS, Superintendent of Schools.

REPORT OF THE HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
Rutland, Mass., January 1, 1924.
TO THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS:
The High School opened September 2 with 40 pupils enrolled. This is our average number, and about the capacity of the main room. Mrs. Hope H. Moulton and Miss Miriam B. Sprague were appointed to fill the vacancies caused by resignations in June. Mrs. Moulton has charge of the English classes. She has encouraged the pupils to write short stories to be entered in a competition with other schools through the agency of a Boston newspaper. The school paper will again make its appear- ance this year under her direction. Miss Sprague has charge of the Latin and Mathematics. An after-school class in Algebra is being offered three days a week for the benefit of sophomores. As an extra-curriculum activity Miss Sprague has organized the Girl Scouts with about twenty members.
We have modified the program so as to offer Algebra the first year and Geometry in the second, with Review Mathematics the fourth. This permits of an advanced Science course the third year. A wider group of electives is offered for freshmen. The student trying for the diploma in the General Course will now have the choice of Ancient History, General Science, Com- mercial Geography and Civics. The College Preparatory Course is practically unchanged and has small choice of electives.
The addition of two typewriters to the Commercial Depart- ment relieves the congestion there. The class in Shorthand is larger than ever before. The demand for a full Commercial Course is apparent.
The stairways should be better lighted. There is danger of children falling and receiving serious injury, especially on cloudy days.

In the winter gales which periodically rock our building, our present system of heating is entirely inadequate. A steam heat- ing plant would be far more satisfactory, and more economical.
The Grange Hall is still being used for classes, but it is not an economical arrangement, and much of the intimate feeling of the regular classroom is lacking. It would be much better if a room were built about the size of the present recitation room, with arrangements for a laboratory included.
The need for more play-room space is keenly felt, especially during the winter. We appreciate the generosity of the Selectmen in permitting the use of the large hall for basket-ball. We also need a place where the children may play on rainy and cold days. There is much space in the basement and it is rarely used. This might be fitted up for an in-door play space and it would help solve the problem of the noon-hour and the early dismissals.
An inter-class athletic meet was held this fall, and was so successful that we feel it should be made a part of the year's regular activities. The school is represented in the recently formed High School Basket-ball League by two teams, one of boys and one of girls.
Our third annual Prize Speaking Contest was held in the spring. This contest has come to be an important feature of our work, and we are pleased to note the enthusiasm with which it is received by pupils and the public. Silver cups were given by Mr. Allen and by Dr. Lapham, the Chairman of the School Committee, and books were awarded as second prizes.
I wish to express my appreciation for the cooperation we have received from the Committee and the townspeople in all our undertakings.
Respectfully submitted,
FRANK A. R. ALLEN, Principal.
