In reporting the prospects for graded schools in our town to our worthy state agent, Hon. John T. Prince, your chairman received the following encouraging reply : "I rejoice with you in the pros- pect of a good, new central building. Now, with a superintendent of schools, and a little more money from the State, so as to permit you to get the best teachers, Carver will rejoice in having schools second to none in the State."
The question, Shall we have a superintendent of schools? is one of vital importance to the school interests of our town, and is one which is being discussed in the small towns around us, who do not already employ a superintendent with a great deal of interest.
51
A large per cent. of the cities and towns in the State already employ superintendents of schools with excellent results. The money question comes up before us as we ponder over this subject, but this can be easily met in the plan which the State has laid for the poorer towns. Several towns may unite in employing a Supt. of Schools. each town paying its proportional part of the superin- tendent's salary, based upon the number of days per week which he spends in each town. If our town secured his services for one day in a week which would be all that it could hope for at first, our fee would be about $150 per year, which would be little more than the amount paid yearly to the school committee for their services. In case that we hired a superintendent of schools, the duties left to the school committee would probably be as in many other towns simply to meet with the committees of the towns com- prising the union, in the spring, to organize, choose a chairman and secretary, elect a superintendent by ballot, etc., to look after the use of the school appropriations, and to make up the financial re- port of the school committee at the close of the year. Since the duties devolving upon them would be small compared with their present duties, the office might easily be made an honorary one, or the bare expenses of the committee, which would be small might be paid.
Chapter 466, section 3, of the school laws of 1898, is of special 'interest at this point.
" SECT. 3. Whenever the chairman and secretary of such joint committee shall certify to the state auditor under oath that a union has been effected as herein provided, that the towns, in addition to an amount equal to the average of the total sum paid, or to the sum paid per child, by the several towns for schools dur- ing the three years next preceding, unitedly have raised by taxa- tion and appropriated a sum not less than seven hundred and fifty dollars for the support of a superintendent of schools, and that under the provisions of this act a superintendent of schools has been employed for one year, then upon the approval of said cer- tificate by the State board of education and the presentation there- of to the State auditor, a warrant shall be drawn upon the Treasurer of the Commonwealth for the payment of one thousand two hundred and fifty dollars, seven hundred and fifty dollars of
52
which amount shall be paid for the salary of such superintendent, and the remaining five hundred dollars shall be apportioned and distributed on the basis of the amount appropriated and expended for a superintendent in the towns forming such district for the year next preceding, which amount shall be paid for the salaries of teachers employed in the public schools within such district."
With all honor to the noble men and women, who, previous to this time, have served the town in the office of school committee, it must be seen that one who equips himself for the special direc- tion of teachers, and who spends all of the school year in the school room in this work, can secure better results in connection with our schools than those who are not specially trained for the work of supervision, and whose time is largely occupied with inat- ters entirely foreign to the school room.
Since the town can secure skilled supervision of its schools, by uniting with other towns, at a trifle more than it now expends for supervision, your committee feel like strongly urging you to give this matter careful consideration, feeling that if you do so, you will decide to have a superintendent of schools for the ensuing year.
THE HIGH SCHOOL.
The benefits which have already been derived from our High school by our young men and ladies, who have attended it are in- estimable and as time goes on, who shall be able to value its work ?
Many of the young shall rise up and call the town "blessed" for the advantages which it has given to them, and catching the spirit of the fathers, they, in return, will give even greater advan- tages to their posterity.
Three have gone out from our school during the past year and are attending school in other places, and the progress which they are making reflects great credit upon our High school. Six others have left school for various reasons during the year, leaving the present membership twenty.
Our principal, Mr. H. H. Rice, we believe to be an honest, sincere, conscientious man, and one who is laboring arduously for the best good of the school as it is revealed to him, and is obtain- ing excellent results. He solicits and deserves your hearty co- operation, that the school may be a success in every respect.
53
As time goes on, we trust that the town will see its way clear to provide better accommodations for the High school, but in the meantime we will wait with patience, with thankful hearts for the benefits which we now enjoy.
As the State requires forty weeks per year for High schools, it is the purpose of the committee to continue our High school for forty weeks for the ensuing year, and as an assistant teacher will be required for the fall term of 1900, an increase in the school ap- propriation will be necessary.
Your committee would therefore recommend that the town raise $1,800 for school teachers' wages, etc., for the ensuing year.
OUR TEACHERS.
Mr. E. B. Perkins taught the No. 1 Grammar school for the first two terms of 1899, Mr. Albert Veazie, a graduate of Castine Normal School, Maine, taking up the work in October and con- tinuing it for the rest of the year.
Mrs. Helen Shurtleff taught the No. 1 Primary school for the first term and for a part of the second term, Miss Delle Alden of the Middleboro Training school finishing the year.
Miss Harriet Dunham of Plymouth taught the school at District No. 5 for the first term of 1899, and Miss Lillian F. Wood of Mid- dleboro Training school taught it for the two remaining terms of the year.
Miss Vesta Shaw filled the place as teacher of the Grammar school at No. 4, until the beginning of the fall term, when, to the regret of all, her health gave out, and she was obliged to give up her school, but her old place will be ready for her again when she is able to fill it.
Mr. E. B. Perkins taught the school for the remainder of the year.
The other teachers in town were the same as for the previous year. We regret that there have been so many changes in our corps of teachers for the past year, as we consider it a detriment to the progress of the schools, but they seemed to be unavoidable.
Our teachers, as a whole, seem to be putting forth their best efforts for the good of their respective schools, and as honest, earn- est effort should be commended wherever it is seen, we heartily
54
commend our teachers for the faithfulness which they have exhib- ited.
In some cases the order needs improvement, and in some the school work needs to be made much more practical than it now is. In still others a lack of warmth and sympathy which should exist between teacher and pupil is seen to a large extent. This condi- tion, if continued, will work great harm to the school.
Much better work could be done by our teachers if they felt that they had the sympathy of the parents in all cases, and we urge the co-operation of parents with teachers, that more satisfactory results in school work may be seen.
REPAIRS.
Little besides the necessary repairing has been done during the past year, and no appropriation for repairs will be necessary for the ensuing year.
SCHOOL BOOKS AND INCIDENTALS.
A number of sets of costly books were, of necessity, purchased for the High school during the past year, causing the appropria- tion to be overdrawn.
Your committee would recommend that the sum of $350 be ap- propriated for the purchase of school books and incidentals for the present year.

CARVER, Jan. 22, 1900. 1
Fellow Townsmen :
I thank you heartily for your generous vote which made me your servant three years ago, and for the support which you have given me, which has helped to make my term of office pleasant.
I have thoroughly enjoyed the work, and have sought to do my duty ever fearlessly and impartially.
Working in unison with the State Board of Education, as I be- lieve such a course to be for the best interest of the schools, I have labored to promote the cause of education in this town, and trust that my efforts have not been wholly lost.
With a grateful heart for the opportunity of serving my native town, to which I am greatly indebted, and with regrets that other duties justly demanding my attention prevent my serving you fur- ther at present in the office of School Committee, I remain
Yours very respectfully, BERNICE E. BARROWS,
Chair. Carver School Committee.

REPORT
OF
TRUSTEES OF PUBLIC LIBRARY.
As the years go by, we find the wisdom of instituting the Carver Public Library confirmed by experience, and the people are more and more coming to avail themselves of its advantages. Though located in the centre of one of the largest towns in the State, there seems to be a way for all the people to reach it when they have the will, and thus is removed the main objection to the library.
To encourage this growing interest and to enlist in a still fur- ther measure the individual interests of the people, we suggest that the scope of the library be broadened so that all may feel a new and personal interest in its welfare.
To this end we would ask the co-operation of the townspeople and all interested in its past and future. This town is rich with historical substances. In many of our old houses-many of them spanning a century-there are doubtless old books and papers, and mementoes which the possessors lightly prize, but which would be highly prized by the trustees of the library, and if placed in their hands they would be granted a safe retreat. These are valuable aids in the investigation of local history, and ought not to be de- stroyed. They have no commercial valne, but their historical value is incomputable. They cost the possessor nothing, and as they would add so materially to the value of our library and awaken a new interest in its welfare, we ask you to search your atties and before making a bonfire, see if there is not something of this na- ture that ought to be preserved. Should you find anything, you will confer a favor upon us by placing it in our hands, and we would acknowledge our gratitude by recording the gift on the records of the library.
