Sixteen of the twenty elementary school teachers receive at present $12.50 per week. From this sum most of them pay $6.50 per week for board and room. These facts explain the frequent changes in our corps. It may be said that there are other towns that pay lower salaries than Fairhaven. There are, but living expenses are, as a rule, less in those towns, and, also, in most of such communities a less exact- ing standard of service is set. Any investigation of the
90
sources of supply will result in the conclusion that the pres- ent salary of $500 per school year, accompanied as it is with the necessity of paying $260 for board, offers few at- tractions to promising teachers. With no increase possible the second year, we must continue to lose a large percentage of our best teachers and thereby seriously impair the efficiency of the schools. Moreover the problem of securing high grade teachers for even one year of service is extremely difficult.
Curriculum.
The subjects taught in our public schools are of two classes, viz., required and permissive. The following are required by law to be taught in all public schools :- Spelling, reading, writing, English language and grammar, arithmetic, drawing, history of the United States, physiology and hygiene, and good behavior. Of the permissive sub- jects the following receive regular attention in Fairhaven schools : Vocal music, manual training, domestic science, physical culture, civics and elementary science. It may be of interest to know that under the present time schedule sixty per cent. of the school time is given to the required subjects. Forty per cent of the time is devoted to the, so-called, three R's.
Outlines of the work required in arithmetic, history, physiology and hygiene, and geography were found in each school. Courses in language and grammar and in reading are in process of preparation ; one in the former branch has already been furnished the lower grades. The courses of study in other subjects need revision and expansion.
Gray's "Number by Development" has been placed in the lower grades. The purchase of a new series of arith- metics has strengthened the course in that branch.
The legislatrue of 1910 made the teaching of Thrift a part of the work of the public schools. The most effective way in which to teach this is to foster habits of economy and self-restraint. In this connection I suggest that the question
91
of establishing a Schools Savings System receive your con- sideration. There is a system based on a plan recommended by the State which does not impose a heavy burden of extra work upon teachers. In some instances an improvement association or some club conducts such a system in the schools, doing the collecting and accounting and thereby relieving the school itself of any extra labor. The purpose of the School Savings System is well stated in the following paragraph :
"Lessons of thrift, economy, prudence, attention to busi- ness, may be admirably taught through the agency of these banks. Moreover there are certain bad habits that the Savings Bank antagonizes, like expenditure for useless or harmful things. It sets the young people to thinking and planning for the future. The fundamental idea is in close sympathy with the manual training idea, the idea of giving a child a larger arena for the intelligent and stimulating exercise of his executive and productive activity."
High School.
The following table exhibits the enrollment at the High school each year since the new building was opened ; it shows, also, the number of pupils and the number of graduates from Fairhaven and from surrounding towns :

. The enrollment fluctuates somewhat but the trend is stead- ily upward and the total enrollment at present is nearly double that of the last year in the Old High, when only eighty-nine pupils were in attendance. The increasing en- rollment of the school, accompanied as it is by the mainten- ance of a high standard of scholarship, must be a source of gratification to you and to the community.
In the character of the secondary school privileges offered, Fairhaven certainly occupies a unique position. It is not ex- aggeration to say that probably no other town in the world of similar size has so complete an equipment for high school work. A glance at current school reports reveals everywhere a struggle to secure high school facilities commensurate with the demands of the times. In this place, manual training is urged; in that, a domestic science course; here the plea is for adequate commercial training ; there the need of provision for physical culture is emphasized. In practically every com- munity the school problem of the hour is to secure the kind of high school opportunities, Fairhaven has offered for sev- eral years. What other towns are earnestly striving for and securing only in part with difficulty, you are able to offer in almost ideal completeness without an effort. The possession of such educational privileges should not only in- spire pride, but, also, a deep feeling of responsibility for their utilization to their highest capacity by the youth of the town.
The only change in the curriculum of the school since the last report has been the substitution of work in printing for the course in agriculture. The elimination of the agri- cultural course was rendered desirable because of the impos- sibility of using longer the land heretofore available for experimental purposes. A text book course in agricul- ture seemed too valueless to be continued. The equip- ment of the printing plant has been largely increased and everything indicates that the course in printing will be highly successful. It certainly possesses extensive possibili- ties of helpful correlation with other subjects of the curri- culum.
93
The courses of study in the High school are three in number, viz., General Course, Commercial Course, and College Preparatory Course. At the present time there are enrolled in the General Course 106 pupils, in the Commercial Course 64 pupils, and in the College Preparatory Course, 6 pupils.
No change in the High school corps of teachers has occurred since the last report.
Medical Inspection.
The annual eye and ear tests have been made by the teachers. The results are as follows :
Number of pupils examined, 707
Number found defective in eyesight, 68
Number found defective in hearing, 34
Number of parents and guardians notified, 76
The results in the grades have been recorded on cards furnished by the State and are on file at the School office.
The value of medical inspection in its relation to the work of the schools is at present only dimly realized. The law requires that "the School Committee of every city and town shall cause every child in the public schools to be separately and carefully examined at least once each year to ascertain whether he is suffering from defective sight or hearing, or from any other disability or defect tending to prevent his receiving the full benefit of his school work, or requiring a modification of his school work in order to pre- vent injury to the child or to secure the best educa- tional results." The law states that the teacher shall give the eye and ear tests but it is designed that further tests shall be given by the School Physician. If the provision for an individual physical examination were not mandatory, there are good reasons why such an examination should be made. A large percentage of children fail to do their work because of physical defects that can be remedied, and the
94
discovery of these is important. Admitting that it is primarily the part of the parent to care for the health of the child, and that examination and notification of the parent without action on his part is futile, I am convinced, neverthe- less, that such an examination increases the efficiency of the schools in dealing with children sufficiently to justify the outlay necessary to secure it. A thorough individual ex- amination of high school pupils has been made this year. I wish as careful an examination might be rendered possible next year in the grades.
Efficiency.
Efficient administration includes not only an accounting of the funds expended but, also, of the material used in the process of production, of the sources of waste, and of the amount and quality of the finished product. The severe at- tacks made upon schools in recent years has led to more care- ful analysis of the elements of school efficiency and the ef- fort to develop methods whereby results may be measured. It seems a possibility of the future that a school system may be proven efficient or inefficient in a way similar to that em- ployed in investigating any business enterprise. It is not to be expected, of course, that a test will be able to be ap- plied to every factor in success. The inspirational influence of the teacher will hardly be reduced to percentages. Never- theless, it is so rare to find teachers with strong and whole- some influence, whose schools do not rank high in ways that can be measured, that no great inaccuracy will result in leaving out this factor.
At the present time methods of testing efficiency in specific branches have not been developed sufficiently for very practical application. Data is available enabling answers to certain of the broader questions included in an investiga- tion of efficiency. I am presenting in this report some facts relating to membership and attendance, to promotion and retardation, and to persistence of attendance, which, while
95
they are not designed as tests of the efficiency of your schools, will at least suggest to us directions of effort.
The material upon which our schools work consists of girls and boys. The law requires that between the ages of seven and fourteen this material shall be in school. It is the duty of those who administer the system to see that the compulsory attendance laws are obeyed. Are the boys and girls of school age in our schools? The following table shows the census returns and the facts of school enrollinent on January 31, 1913 :
Number of pupils in town between the ages of seven and fourteen in Septem- ber, 1912,
Number of pupils between the ages of seven and fourteen enrolled in public schools on January 31, 1913, 548
Number of pupils between the ages of seven and fourteen enrolled in pa- rochial schools on January 31, 1913, 164 Total enrolled in school, 712
The school enrollment shows more pupils than the census returns. This may be due to the fact that pupils have come to town since the census was taken.
In order to do efficient work the attendance must be regular. If the percentage in this particular indicates great irregularity, it shows that the school plant is not being fully utilized. If this is due to lack of enforcement of the com- pulsory attendance laws, it indicates inefficiency on the part of the administration. If the necessity of invoking the law is due to indifferent teaching, here again is a condi- tion that should be remedied. The following table shows the enrollment, the average memberhip, the average attendance, and the per cent. of attendance for each of the past five years.

The average per cent. of attendance for the entire state during the time covered is slightly over 92. The compulsory attendance laws are well observed in Fairhaven.
As our schools are organized the completion of each of the grades requires under normal conditions one year of time. Failure to prepare a child for promotion represents loss to the system. If the number of repeaters becomes so large as to require extra teaching force, it means financial loss; if the children are cared for by the same number of teachers, it means loss through the diversion of the time and strength of the teacher from the regular work of the year. If the ages of children distributed through the grades indi- cate that a large proportion of them are progressing regu- larly from grade to grade, unhandicapped by failure to be promoted. it is in favor of the system, unless the standard of promotion is too low. The following table shows the age and grade distribution in Fairhaven schools in January, 1913. The numbers under the heavy line show those above normal age based on our entrance age of five years; the num- bers under the dotted lines, those above normal age, based on the more general entrance age of six.
