REPORT OF THE Superintendent of Schools.
Holden, Mass., Jan. 1, 1915.
To the School Committee of the Town of Oakham :- I take pleasure in submitting my second annual report as superintendent of your schools.
TEACHERS
During the year there have been two changes in the teach- ing force. Miss Putnam resigned to accept a position at home, and Miss O'Donnell resigned to attend the Fitchburg Normal School. I am glad that it has been possible to in- crease the salaries of two of the teachers during the year. With the present high cost of everything it is becoming in- creasingly difficult to secure teachers at a salary of $10., es- pecially for only 33 weeks in the year. Several candidates re- fused to consider such offers this year. One principal of a Normal school wrote last July, "Two-thirds of the young la- dies of the graduating class of 1914 have positions paying sal- aries of $11 or $12 a week ; a $10 rate is the exception. Sev- eral receive $500 or more."
TEXT-BOOKS
During the year no important changes have been made in the text-books. Several supplementary readers for the pri- mary grades have been introduced. A new series of geo- graphical readers for the upper grades and textbooks on physiology and hygiene for the teachers have been provided. During the next year I recommend the purchase of a new se- ries of arithmetics, sets of Lister's Manual of Penmanship for the primary grades, and Palmer's Manual for the upper gra les, and reading books for the middle and upper grades.
Through the courtesy of the Librarian it has been possible
36
to have a shelf of library books in each room. This is a great help in many ways. A set of excellent pictures was loaned to the Center school last fall by the Library.
INDUSTRIAL CONTESTS
A number of the young people entered the contests in home economics and farming conducted by the Massachu- _setts Agricultural College in co-operation with the local Grange. It was very gratifying to learn that Edward O'Donnell won third prize in the potato contest. This will entitle him to a week at M. A. C. with all of his expenses paid. A Holden girl, thirteen years old, won third prize in the cooking contests, and at the recent exhibition in Worcester of work from all over the state she won first prize on cake and third prize on bread. I hope this local success will stim- ulate more to enter the contest this year. The Grange and its special committee are to be congratulated and thanked for the interest they have shown in this work.
REPAIRS
During the year additional blackboards have been provid- ed for the Coldbrook school where the large enrollment made them an immediate necessity. Additional blackboard room should be provided at the South and West schools. The Coldbrook school ought to be painted this spring. If the in- terior is painted a light and delicate shade of gray the light- ing will be greatly improved. The ceiling should be white or slightly tinted. Whenever the town can afford it, new floors ought to be laid at the Center school. The present floors are badly worn and full of cracks to hold the dust. I recommend that jackets be placed around the stoves in the three district schools. Five of the stoves in Holden are now equipped with jacketed stoves and in each case the heat-
37
ing and ventilating have been greatly improved.
The present conditions in the out-buildings at the Center are intolerable. I recommend that the present buildings be torn down and new ones built. They should be provided with cement vaults above ground.
SCHOOL DECORATION
There is a great opportunity for improvement in the ap- pearance of our school property. All of the schools are in need of good engravings of suitable subjects to improve the appearance of the interior of the schools. The grounds could be much improved by the children themselves at no expense to the town by setting out shrubs and planting perennial vines and flower gardens. The agricultural college and the nor- mal schools are offering to help in this work.
LENGTH OF THE SCHOOL YEAR.
I want to call your attention once more to the desirability of lengthening the school year to 36 weeks. Oakham can easily afford the additional expense. The experience of our graduates in the high schools of other towns shows the need . of a longer school year.
NEW LEGISLATION
By an act of 1914, when a school committee elects a teacher who has served the town for the three previous consecutive years, it elects her to serve at the pleasure of the committee. No such teacher may be dismissed without 30 days' notice of the intention of the committee to vote on the question of her dismissal, nor until the superintendent has made his recom- mendations with regard to the proposed dismissal. If the teacher requests it. she must be given a statement by the school committee of the reasons why her dismissal is proposed. This tenure of office law is part of an attempt to remove the
38
teachers from the danger of removal because of petty whims or political pressure.
ATTENDANCE
I wish to call your attention especially to the statistics with regard to attendance. The records have been very high in Oakham this year. There have been some months when the attendance has been almost perfect in some of the schools. The attendance at the West school has been very much better than its average shows. The epidemic of measles there this fall lowered their record for the year.
In conclusion, I want to thank the school committee for their co-operation and support during the year. They have done many things to make the work more pleasant. I wish also to thank the teachers for their loyalty, devotion and in- terest in the schools.
Respectfully submitted, ROBERT I. BRAMHALL, Superintendent.

Report of the School Physician.
Holden, Mass., Dec. 28, 1914. Robert I. Bramhall, Supt. of Schools, Holden, Mass.,
My Dear Sir :- I beg to report that in the performance of my duties as School Physician of Oakham I have visited the schools of that town twice during the year closing. Conditions found were not less favorable than those of last year. There are still a few unvaccinated : a few cases of pediculosis ; also a few cases of enlarged tonsils, and the usual list of minor ail- ments common among children of school age.
Yours respectfully. C. W. STICKNEY, M. D., School Physician.
Report of the Supervisor of Music.
Mr. R. I. Bramhall, Superintendent of Schools :-
Dear Sir :- The work in music has been conducted along the same lines as formerly. The time devoted to the work, un- changed.
As in every other study in the school course, individual attention must be given to the preparation of the lesson, and the recitation is made by the individual ; so the same should be true in music and the child be encouraged to work individually in this as in every other branch.
In the first three grades note songs are being taught con- tinually and all the individual help possible is given to the monotones. Rote songs are taught which are selected for their musical value as well as for the value of the thought and suggestions. Good rote songs stimulate and develop in the mind of the child a taste and love for good music.
The higher grades are doing creditable work in two and three part songs, we are studying selections from best com- posers and also study the lives of composers to a small ex- 'tent.
The best results in school music depend largely upon the co-operation of the parent and grade teacher with the super- visor. Pupils, especially boys, need help to realize and really believe that music must be studied, not only as a subject in the school course but for the pleasure to be derived there- from. row and in the future.
43
I take pleasure in acknowledging here the courtesy extend- ed to me by the teachers; also, for the kindly reception and advances made by the children.
Respectfully submitted, RUTH B. DWELLY, Supervisor of Music.
