A change in entrance age to the first grade would affect comparatively few children. Parents of their own volition are not starting their children in school so young as formerly. Only 69 of the 219 children beginning school this year were under six in September.
EVENING SCHOOL.
The law distinctly states that when in the previous year twenty or more working certificates have been issued to illiterate minors an evening school shall be established and maintained and the attendance of minors shall be com- pulsory. For the last two years Fairhaven has been under legal obligation to open such a school. Funds have been lacking. There are now eighty-five illiterate minors and
22
provision should be made for their instruction. Not only is this necessary in order to comply with the law, but it is a patriotic duty as well. Illiteracy is a menace to the nation. Fairhaven should do its share in eliminating it. The census of 1920 states that there are 386 illiterate adults in Fair- haven. This is a large number, nearly six per cent of the population. The percentage will increase unless measures are taken to prevent it. The town is becoming an attractive place of residence for parents of illiterate minors because it has no evening school. It should cease to be. I recommend strongly that provision be made not merely to organize a school in compliance with the law, but to establish and maintain one of superior quality.
AMERICANIZATION.
The war brought to the surface the problem of Ameri- canization. It revealed the presence of an alarming per- centage of illiteracy in our population and the relation it bore to efficiency in war time. Since 1918 further investiga- tion has led to a broader comprehension of the extent and meaning of this in its relation to the problems of peace. :
Easterners, proud of their section and its traditional culture, have been startled to learn that the densest areas of illiteracy are not among the negroes and mountaineers of the south but in Massachusetts, New York and Pennsylvania.
Massachusetts, the Puritan commonwealth, awoke to find one-third of its population foreign born and one-half of this illiterate. In practically every state a campaign to eradicate illiteracy has been started. It has made fairly rapid progress but solution of the problem has just begun. In 1918 in Massachusetts adult illiterates to the number of 3281 were enrolled in English and citizenship classes. In 1919 by act of the state legislature the Division of University Extension was empowered "to promote Americanization through the education of adult foreigners unable to speak
23
the English language by co-operation with local authori- ties." Under its terms the state bears half the expense of such classes. In order to receive financial aid a town or city must conduct this work so as to meet the requirements of the State Board of Education. In 1920 there were 15,520 adults enrolled in Americanization classes throughout Massachusetts.
Fairhaven has a problem of Americanization. It has no longer a population composed chiefly of native born citizens. The census of 1920 shows the following divisions :
Native White-Native parentage. 2873
Native White-Foreign or mixed parentage (one foreign born parent) . .. 2537 1826
Foreign Born White.
Native Born Colored 55
Total 7291
Of our foreign born citizens 663 only are naturalized. There are 386 illiterate adults in town and 85 illiterate minors between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one.
The subjects taught in Americanization classes are, as has been stated, the English language and citizenship. Knowl- edge of English will aid materially in Americanizing aliens. Of this phase of the work the State Director of American- ization says: "Easy-going optimists fool themselves into believing that time alone and unaided will solve the lan- guage problem without governmental help. Sooner or later, they feel that the immigrant in our midst will acquire the English tongue just by his contact with America. How roseate a dream is such optimism is easily shown. The non- English-speaking immigrant in most cases has no contact with American life and ideals. He lives in a foreign colony composed of those of his own race. His wants are supplied by those familiar, not only with his language, but with his customs. His children, to be sure, go to the American school and talk to each other in the language unknown to their
24
parents. Their knowledge of the language opens no door to the parents, but it widens the gulf between the conservation of the Old World ideas and the lawlessness of the new. The children despise the illiterate parent and lose in their newer knowledge the respect of parental authority. More- over, it is inadvisable for an adult population to depend upon interpretation of American ideals through the view- point of an immature and ignorant child."
A nationwide campaign to eradicate illiteracy is on. In Massachusetts it is rapidly gaining headway. Fairhaven needs Americanization work as much as most towns. No one can deny that we have a serious problem. Local as well as national patriotism should lead us to do our share and do it promptly. Fairhaven should not be one of the last towns in the state to join in this work. I hope the committee will feel it wise to ask for an appropriation to make a be- ginning possible next year.
MISCELLANY.
The school department is indebted to Mr. T. W. Whit- field, road commissioner, for the excellent condition of the Job C. Tripp School playground. Recognizing the need of immediate grading and knowing the school department had no funds to use for the purpose he did the work, neverthe- less, and thereby rendered the pupils, teachers and neigh- boring house holders a most helpful service.
The Fairhaven pageant given on the school lawn in June by the pupils of the Rogers Grammar School was a wonderfully successful presentation of scenes connected with the history of the town and reflected much credit on pupils, teachers and parents. The last made the event possi- ble by furnishing costumes.
A Parents Day with an exhibition of school work has been observed in each building. At the high school the first exhibition of manual training results 1917 was held.
25
The Fairhaven Union Teachers' Association held its annual institute on February 11th. The program was one of the best and most helpful that has been given. The pro- gram for an institute in 1922 has already been arranged.
Miss Bessie C. Verder resigned in June from the prin- cipalship of the Rogers School after four years of highly efficient service there. She had previously been a most suc- cessful teacher of chemistry in Fairhaven High School for nine years. At present she is in charge of one of the state training schools for teachers in Vermont.
The Mothers' Club fitted up and maintained during the summer a play ground in Cushman Park. This was in no way connected with the schools, but is a valuable adjunct. Says Clarence A. Perry in his book, "Wider Use of the School Plant": "Children who have had the advantage of play grounds return to their studies in the fall much more alert and ready to work. These results are especially notice- able in the case of boys and girls who have attended super- vised play grounds. Here the necessity of waiting one's turn, of having a referee settle disputes, of playing games according to a program is so obviously related to every one's enjoyment that discipline becomes popular and is sup- ported most ardently sometimes by those who in the class room have been its most constant foes." It is hoped that the supervised playground may sometime become a perma- nent feature in Fairhaven.
The Improvement Association conducted its usual school gardens contest. The number entering was smaller than in former times. Discontinuance of the work in 1920, due to the epidemic of scarlet fever, evidently has retarded the movement. An unusual effort should be made this com- ing spring to renew the interest of the children. The fol- lowing pupils were awarded prizes for excellence in their work: Raymond Clark, Rotch Street; John and Manuel Duarte, Oxford; Jeane Mello, Oxford; Antone and John Sousa, Sconticut Neck; and Mary Ridings, Spring Street.

Comments on Estimates.
1. The increase asked for general control is to enable more supervision.
2. The increase covers cost of five new teachers who began in September, 1921 for the remainder of school year and provides for three additional teachers in September, 1922. It does not raise the present salary schedule. It makes little provision for more time of the special teachers.
400.00
1922
28
3-4. The increase is small. Not enough was spent for text books in 1921. The new building is not well supplied.
5. Allowance is made for new building.
6. Allowance is made for new building.
7. Practically no change.
8. This does not include repairs on the Washington Street School. The amount asked is an increase over last year but may well be made larger. We are spending too little in this direction.
9-10. Practically no increase.
11. No one will do the work for the money now paid.
12.
13. Required by law for twenty weeks.

I. Allowance is made for one new teacher from Janu- ary 1, 1922 until June and for a second from September, 1922, until January 1, 1923.
II. The increase for repairs does not cover the needs. It would cost more than this if the stadium wall was re- paired.
III. (New Equipment.) New Typewriters and tables must be purchased, additional desks will be needed, and other minor needs incidental to a larger school.
Conclusion.
The present superintendent has been in office for nearly ten years. During that time he has always had the support and good will of his committee. Every recommendation has
30
been discussed on its merits. The citizens in general are deeply interested in their schools and have evinced the finest kind of co-operation. It has been a privilege to serve under such conditions.
Respectfully submitted, CHARLES F. PRIOR.
