The expense attending the support of three schools now con- solidated with others goes a long way toward covering the cost of transportation, and those thus entering other schools are deriving better intellectual results. We hope the town will take action at the coming town meeting which will enable the grading of those districts ungraded.
THE HIGH SCHOOL.
The High School has passed the first term of its second year, and thus far is looked upon with much interest by the committee and parents in fitting our pupils for the higher institutions of
53
learning. Yet we consider its success depends upon the future action of the town. Educationally we consider it a paying in- vestment, giving very beneficial results, even if not up to the standard required by the state for High Schools. To have our High School approved by the State Board of Education we must have forty weeks of school per year, an assistant teacher, and also a higher standard for admission.
If we can have for our school the advantages required by the state, our principal, Mr. Rice, is confident of results which will compare favorably with those attained by approved High Schools. We consider he means success for the town in this enterprise and we would suggest that he be not handicapped in his endeavor. The state laws, under certain conditions, make it obligatory on a town which sustains no High School of its own to pay the tuition of all pupils of such town who may attend a High School in an- other town, also the travelling expenses may be paid.
Twenty-seven pupils have attended the High School during the last term. We behold it with pride and bespeak for it success, and we expect no pupil will be hampered from obtaining the ad- vantages afforded him by the state in obliging him to remain in a position which is but nominally the position sought.
In sustaining a High School with one teacher we are doing the same that sixty-two other towns of the state were doing in 1895-6, as is shown by the last report of the State Board of Education. Two of said schools were in Plymouth County. Eight towns of said county were sustaining High Schools with two teachers.
The privilege of aiding so many of the young to a higher life of usefulness is no small matter. Many will attend a school at home who have not the means at their disposal to go abroad. With this thought in view we are benefactors of our fellowmen. Again the cost of sustaining the school is a help to the industry of the town by giving employment to our own citizens.
By a statistical table in the report of the Board of Education, referred to above, Carver's percentage of valuation devoted to public schools is .00314, or less than that paid by 277 other towns, and being less than one-half the amount paid by many of the towns of the state. These thoughts are submitted not for criticism, but for reflection.
54
We hope the decision of the town will give honor to herself and a continued blessing to posterity.
OUR TEACHERS.
With one exception each school has been taught the entire year by one teacher, each being his own successor from the previous year. Mrs. Myra (Shaw) Hammond, who taught in District No. 5, after teaching two terms resigned her position to enter a different field of labor. She leaves us with the respect which we feel to accord to good and conscientious teachers. She enjoyed the confidence and good will of her pupils. Miss Harriet C. Dun- ham of Plymouth, a graduate of Plymouth High School and Middleboro Training School, was employed to fill the vacancy. She has had some experience in substituting in the schools of Plymouth. We are pleased to note her success and the respect accorded her by her pupils.
This school is small and the irregular attendance makes the av- erage very low. Should it be consolidated and graded with dis- trict No. 3, the duties of the teachers might be divided more evenly and more thorough work done with each grade.
Our other teachers deserve an honorable mention, as we prize and trust them, and believe they are honoring themselves by put- ting forth their best energies to promote the moral and intellect- ual welfare of our young. The trying experiences of a teacher are many, and it means much to be a successful teacher. In praising for faithful service we would speak of them as one that no unkind comparison may be made. We believe our teachers will compare favorbly with those of any other town of Plymouth County. Miss Shaw of the Grammar school of No. 4 has taught in the schools of the town successively for twenty years which is a record of service and respect attained by but few.
REPAIRS.
Repairs have been limited to actual necessities. The Gram- mar school room of district No. 1, requiring and receiving more attention than any other. Both ceiling and walls were given a thorough coat of paint, also the seats and desks were stained and
55
varnished. A new stove has been furnished and with other small repairs, the room has been made pleasant and attractive.
The ceiling of No. 4 Grammar room received a coat of white- wash and the blackboards a coat of slating, with other small re- pairs. The north side of the roof to this room may need to be reshingled during the year. There are often unlooked for repairs needed to be made and it is well to appropriate a liberal amount for this purpose. We recommend one hundred dollars.
BOOKS AND INCIDENTALS.
Since the advent of the High School there has been of necessity an extra outlay for books and supplies and so we have over- drawn the amount appropriated. We would recommend that the town appropriate for the present year three hundred and fifty dollars.
