REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the School Committee of Carver :-
The number of pupils in all schools on Jan. 1, 1912, was 207, seven more than last year. The number in 1910 was 205, and in 1911 was 200. Divided according to grades in the ele- mentary school, and years in the High School, there are :
Grade 1, 31; grade 2, 27; grade 3, 17; grade 4, 19; grade 5, 30; grade 6, 24; grade 7, 21; grade 8, 5; grade 9, 10. First year, 16; second year, 4; third year, 1; fourth year, 2.

There has been a larger number of changes in teachers than usual since the close of schools in June. There are 11 teachers in all the schools, and but three of these were teaching in town
-75-
last year. There have been three teachers at Pope's Point since the beginning of the fall term. Two other schools in the dis- trict have also had three teachers in the same time. Throughout the district there have been 80 per cent changes this year, and 55 per cent. of the new teachers are beginners, teaching their first school. Advance in school work is difficult under these conditions. But it is encouraging that of this number of new teachers all are proving successful. More salary was paid to be- ginners this year, but even with the increase in pay it was more- than usually difficult to get good teachers. There was hardly two weeks at a time between the first of April and the begin- ning of school in the fall that I was not looking for a teacher for some school in the district. Vacancies occurred up to within a week of the beginning of the fall term. Some of those who resigned late in the summer had agreed positively to return in September. There are several reasons for these frequnt changes. The country schools always have been, and probably will be, the training ground for young teachers. The severer requirements of large village and city schools make it necessary to have ex- perienced teachers, and many of them get their experience in the country school. The increased salary and fancied honor of teaching in the larger place almost invariably attract teachers, . notwithstanding the fact that expenses increase faster than sal- aries. The country does not offer the advantages that the city does to many people, and the summer vacation gives to the teacher an opportunity to enjoy the country at the time when it is most attractive. Another cause of frequent changes is that we get good teachers. Few of them fail to make good; and this is known by superintendents in surrounding places, and they come here for them. We are helped in getting good teachers by the fact that most of them for a number of years have come from the same normal school, and the report that goes from them induces others to come. We can never hope to retain good teachers for a long time, not often for more than two years, or occasionally three. We might, however, retain them longer by
-76-
raising salaries. I think it is not generally known that while our school year is thirty-six weeks, that of nearly all large and many small places is thirty-eight ; and that our salaries are paid for nine months, while many others are for ten months. This works much to our disadvantage. Though we are obliged to take young and inexperienced teachers, it is not entirely without its compensations. In the young and ambitious teacher we get all the enthusiasm and energy of youth. Life is fresh, the work is new and they have their reputation to make, and in their first years they do some of their best work. It is better to have them prove good enough for some one to hire them away from us than so poor we have to ask them to go.
The number of pupils in the High School has increased, and the attendance, partly due to better transportation facilities, has been very good. Both teachers are well qualified for their work. Instruction and discipline are both good, and most pupils are doing good work. I do not think, however, that enough study is done at home. Few pupils can do good high school work without two or three hours of outside work. It has been a great advantage to have the ninth grade work done at the High School. For several years some class has been lacking, and the small . numbers have made it possible for two teachers to do the high school teaching in addition to the ninth grade. After another year there will be four full classes, which will require all their time. In that case a teacher qualified to teach the Centre Grammar School and the ninth grades from the other schools should be employed, and should be paid as much as the assistant in the High School. I think we have never advanced the salary of the assistant from that paid the first year. This should be done, as is done for the principal, and for the elementary school teachers. The High School began a week earlier than usual this year. It should begin at least two weeks earlier. One of the difficulties in securing High School teachers arises from the late beginning and consequent late closing of the school in the summer. Many teachers attend sessions of summer schools, but
-77-
such schools usually begin two weeks before our high school closes.
There are three recommendations that I wish to make, one regarding transportation and the others regarding school rooms. When in any school the number of pupils is large, and there is. a pupil alone in any of the higher grades, and a school convey- ance passes the school or the home of the child or near the same, on its way to another school in which there are children in the same grade, such child should be taken to that school, both for- the child's good and for the good of the school from which he is- taken. Where it is possible to do this it is not right for one- child to take so much time as he does when alone in all or nearly all of his studies.
A new building, or considerable repairs upon the old one, is. needed for the Centre Primary School. If a new building can not be had, new furniture should be put in the old one. The present desks are in bad condition. Also new blackboards, nearer the floor, are needed.
Also new desks and chairs and new blackboards are needed in the South Grammar, and new blackboards in the South Primary.
The following is a list of the present teachers in the different schools :
North Grammar-Miss Olga Merritt, Rockland, Mass.
North Primary-Miss Inez M. Bailey, Marlboro, Mass.
Centre Grammar-Miss Catherine Burgess, Hingham Centre, Mass.
Centre Primary-Miss Helen F. Norton, Augusta, Me.
South Grammar-Miss Ethel V. Roy, Marion, Mass.
South Primary-Mrs. Donald McFarlin, Carver, Mass. Wenham-Miss Eliza Kelley, Dartmouth, Mass.
Pope's Point-Miss G. Louise Coffin, Edgartown, Mass. Bates Pond --- Miss Feodore M. Nichols, Southwick, Mass.
High School-Mr. Benjamin S. Tubman, North Brewster,
Mass. ; Miss Viola L. Merrifield, North Weymouth, Mass.

PUBLIC LIBRARY
Citizens of Carver :---
We are glad to report that all our 3,300 volumes in the Library have been properly catalogued and classified by the State Library Department, in the persons of Miss Lenora O'Herron and Miss Whalley. The former spent between three and four weeks, and the latter between two and three days.
Mrs. Bernice E. Barrows and Rev. George H. Lockhart and others assisted, and now we look forward to continued success. Much credit is due the former for the present high tide of efficiency in library affairs.
The first of September, 1911, our librarian, Mrs. Bernice E. Barrows, resigned to take up work in our State Normal at Bridgewater, and in her place the trustees have appointed Rev. George H. Lockhart, pastor of the First Baptist Church, as librarian, with Miss Laura Bump and Miss Lorena Lockhart as assistants.
The growth of the public patronage has been such as to necessitate the opening of the Library on Tuesdays from 2 until 4 o'clock, as well as Saturday from 2 until 8 o'clock. The public schools, as well as the public, have found this a decided advantage, and the teachers and pupils are more than ever accommodated.
The apparent falling off of patronage in looking at the figures of last year (4,639) and this year (2,613), is due to the taking up of the branch libraries at the North, South, East and West Carver, and centering the distribution of books in the library proper at the Centre. We are compelled, how-
-80-
ever, to submit to the inevitable, for to continue them would mean a greater expense than the amount given for library pur- poses would warrant.
It was simply an experiment, however, and our thanks are due to the faithful friends in the above places, who acted as assistants and who looked after the distribution of the books to the many patrons.
We are glad that Miss Nicholls of the Bates Pond school is taking up this work with her pupils, and quite a number of books are given out each week. We hope other teachers in the town may do likewise.
