So highly satisfactory and pleasing were the results as exhibited by the pupils in the exercises on Field Day in the latter part of June, that I wish to recommend the establishment of this so-called Field Day as an annual custom.
A gradual effort is being made to extend the manual training and hand work in suitable form from the High school down through all the grades. At present the boys of the seventh, eighth and preparatory classes are taking the mechanical drawing and bench work, under the direction of the manual training instructor, and the eighth and ninth grade girls are having courses in cooking. The fifth, sixth and seventh grade girls are given instruction and practice in practical sewing, while the boys of the fifth and sixth grades are provided with elementary hand work, being instructed by the regular grade teachers. It is hoped that there eventually may be a carefully planned and well graded course in hand work from the first grade up to and including the High school courses, which will, in as many aspects as possible, be correlated and in sympathy with the art teaching in the corresponding grades.
The work in drawing which was interrupted by the serious illness and final resignation of Miss Browne, was commendably continued for the balance of the year by the regular teachers. Miss Charlotte S. Dorman was engaged to assume the duties of supervisor in drawing and sewing. Her training in the Boston Normal Art School and experience in similar positions
98
in Massachusetts and Porto Rico enabled her to take up the work in September and carry it on with renewed vigor and success.
Five years after the introduction of children's gardens into the school system, it is a pleasure to report that the gardens are continued and with an interest that promises to be perma- nent. Miss Trowbridge now has practical supervision of this work and has been able to teach the children to secure results which make Fairhaven recognized throughout the state as a town which has been successful in this line of nature study. The public has become not only accustomed to this movement, which was seriously questioned at first, but has become inter- ested in it. Two of our citizens were each sufficiently interested in the children and their work to send a check for ten dollars to foster and encourage the idea. The Improvement Associa- tion, through its special committee, has taken up the work and developed no little interest in practical home gardening. Dur- ing the fall, several of the boys and girls won prizes at the exhibition of flowers and vegetables in Boston. The school gardens won several prizes at this same exhibition and received the award of second prize for the general garden work, the gardens and garden products winning a total of seventeen dol- lars in prizes.
The welfare and efficiency of the school system was seriously affected by the resignation of so many of our successful and experienced teachers during the summer months. The serious- ness of the teacher problem may be indicated by the fact that since the end of the school year in June, we have had to pro. vide for the schools in the Fairhaven district twenty-seven (27) permanent or temporary teachers, in order to keep the schools in operation ; fourteen (14) of this number having to be dis- covered and supplied since the last week in August, after the field had been thoroughly canvassed and practically all teachers had been settled for the year, thus making it doubly difficult to provide schools with teachers of any experience or success.
99
Considering the difficulties and unusual requirements de- manded in several of these positions, such as in the domestic science and lunch department, the art supervision and sewing, and several other positions where the size of the school or the particular needs were unusual, the department has been fortunate in securing teachers who could fill these re- spective positions with such success. On another page of this report will be found the names of the present corps of teachers together with the subject or grade, the schools in which they have secured their training, and salary per month.
During the school year, teachers in dealing with many different children of different temperaments and conditions, are not always able to carry out their work and instruction to the complete satisfaction or approval of all pupils or parents, and it is inevitable that there should be many misunderstand- ings and misconceptions on the part of children and parents as well as occasional lapses of judgment or lack of tact on the part of teachers, who are not always free from the imperfections of humanity.
In all such cases of misunderstanding or grievance, the first and proper thing for any parent to do is to consult with the teacher, who is merely the assistant of the parent in the train- ing of the child. If, after this conference, there still remains difficulty, the matter should be reported to the superintendent, who is always glad, as far as possible, to discover the real difficulties and look into all complaints which are honest and well founded. In this connection I regret that too frequently parents are prone to pronounce judgment and discuss these school difficulties without making any adequate inquiry as to the real foundation and merits of the case. Many startling and strange things are reported by children with perhaps good intentions, but reports which are based upon altogether wrong and incorrect impressions. After these reports and wrong impressions are passed hither and thither they occasionally
100
assume proportions that are annoying to all concerned and needlessly so.
As illustrations of these wrong impressions it has, within the past month, been reported by intelligent people that "they had heard on good authority" that no opportunity would be furnished to study arithmetic after the seventh grade, while it is a fact that arithmetic is continued through the eighth grade and reviewed if necessary in the ninth grade, and a full course in commercial arithmetic offered in the High school.
Again, it is reported that no one is now allowed to graduate and receive a diploma from the High school unless such pupil pursues the classical or college preparatory course, when as a matter of fact diplomas are issued to everyone satisfactorily completing any course in the High school, and moreover, certificates are issued to pupils who leave the schools in any of the grammar grades, stating the amount of work covered.
Again, it was reported and caused considerable anxiety that no pupil is now allowed to enter the High school until he is fifteen years old, and must remain in the preparatory class three years if he enters it at twelve. It is needless to say that there is no age qualification imposed for entrance except to the first grade.
It will be necessary for your board to call the attention of the citizens to the fact that the heating apparatus at the Rogers School has been run with a good deal of difficulty and expense for the past six or seven years, and that it was with some hesi- tation that the state inspector allowed the plant to be used for the present year ; but after making several repairs in the early fall and temporarily remedying other difficulties recently, the boilers have served thus far during the year. The following quotation from the report of the inspector of boilers indicates that action upon this matter should not be delayed. Report dated September 20, 1907: "Owing to the age and generally deteriorated condition of this boiler, the matter of installing a new boiler to replace it within the next year should be taken
101
up at once, as it is doubtful as to whether it would pass another inspection."
It will be seen by the financial tables on another page that the special appropriation of nine hundred dollars was used to cover the overdraft and unpaid bills of 1906 which resulted from the inadequate appropriation of the previous year. The general appropriation asked for at the last annual meeting was based upon estimates for the bare running expenses of the year. The payment of six hundred dollars for the alterations and repairs at the old High school building, authorized by the joint board of school committee and selectmen out of the current funds of the school department made it impossible to meet all the bills at the close of the financial year. Considering the fact that an additional teacher is required at the Oxford school and at the old High school ; also that transportation has to be provided for an entire grade from the Oxford school, and that additional fuel and janitor's salary has to be considered, the department finds it necessary to ask for $20,000 to meet the requirements of the schools for the ensuing year.

No School Signals.
For the benefit of those who have difficulty in remembering the significance of the school signals, the following is submitted for reference :
The signal at 8.00 a. m. indicates no school for grades one to four inclusive.
The signal at 8.15 a. m. indicates no school for all grades.
The signal at 12.30 noon indicates no school for grades one to four inclusive.
The signal at 1.45 noon indicates no school for all grades.
Schools are often in session when weather conditions make it unfit for some children to attend, in which case parents must make their own decisions. At such times the schools are available for those pupils who wish to attend.
