SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT


To the School Committee of Carver :-


I am pleased to report a smaller number of changes in teachers throughout the superintendency union for the years 1913-1914 than for the previous year. At the beginning of the school year in September, 1913, of the thirty-six teachers in the union there were twenty-two teaching in the district for the first time, and sixteen teaching their first schools; and in addition there were six changes during the fall term, making twenty-eight changes from the close of one school year to the end of the first third of the next. For the same period this year there were but fourteen changes, and but three of them in this town, one at the High School, one at Bates Pond, and one at the North Grammar school at the close of the fall term.


The present teachers, that were in town last year, are Miss Inez M. Bailey at the North Primary, Miss Miriam H. Braley at the Center Grammar, Miss Alice M. Russell at the Center Primary, Miss Marion Lyon at the South Grammar, Miss Amy L. Felton at the South Primary, Miss Helene E. Field at Pope's Point, Mrs. Lulu Pratt at East Carver, and Miss Viola L. Merri- field, principal of the High School. Those who were not in town last year are Miss Elizabeth Tillson at Bates Pond, Miss Helen C. Hodsdon of Fryeburg, Me., at the North Grammar, and Miss Marion Hutchins of Fitchburg at the High School.


There were 222 pupils in all schools at the close of the fall term December 18, 1914, 198 in elementary schools, and 24 in the High School. Last year there were 216, 192 in elementary schools and 24 in the High School. 'They are divided in schools and grades as follows :

ยท


For several years the ninth grade has been in the High School. At the beginning of this year four classes were fully represented in the High School, as had not been the case for several years previous. Two teachers could not teach all the sub- jects of four classes and those of the ninth grade in addition, even though the number of High School pupils is small. The


-93-


pupils entering the ninth grade in September remained in their respective grammar schools.


The fifth grades have been in the grammar schools until this year ; but as the grammar school teachers must now have time for the ninth grades and some grade is lacking in each of the pri- mary schools, the fifth grades remain in those schools another year.


For two years past the High school agent of the State Board of Education has strongly urged abolishing the ninth grade; making the minimum entrance age six years; and having but eight grades before the High School.


The objections to the plan are that children do enter at five, and that most of them could not do the usual elementary school work between five and thirteen. I think the work could be done, by most children, between six and fourteen. But a stronger ob- jection is that the large majority of children do not go to High School, and by abolishing the ninth grade they would be de- prived of one year of schooling.


The State Board of Education hope to adopt a plan for the division of schools into Elementary, Intermediate and High Schools, instead of into Elementary and High as at present. The elementary is to be composed of the first six grades, and range in time from six to twelve years; the Intermediate, of the seventh and eighth grades, and years thirteen and fourteen; and the High School remaining as at present. There is not space to describe the plan in detail. The expense of carrying it out in rural communities would, I think, make it impracticable.


It may be of interest to any High School pupils who contem- plate attending a normal school in the state to know that there is- to be a radical change in the work in Massachusetts normal schools. The change is to provide specialized training for the teaching that will be required for the distinctive work of the- elementary and intermediate schools, as mentioned above.


There are now four distinct courses in some normal schools- the four years, three years, kindergarten-primary and two years-


-94-


courses. For those entering from now on there are to be but two courses, an elementary course of two years, and an advanced course of three years. All students are to take the same work the first year. At the beginning of the second year the work is to be differentiated into elementary and advanced. The elemen- tary course is to prepare for teaching in the first six grades only, and the advanced course for grades seven and eight only.


The student will not be left to make her own choice of the course. The school authorities are to decide in which grades she is most likely to succeed. If from lack of size an apparent lack of mental qualities they think she will not succeed in grades seven and eight she can take elementary work only, and can stay in the school but two years, and can have no opportunity to pre- pare for upper grade teaching. That any one can decide several years in advance what one can do successfully has not been shown by experience. The plan does not originate with the normal schools.


The above plan was explained to a group of superintendents by the Commissioner of Education.


At a recent meeting of superintendents representing twenty towns in Barnstable, Plymouth and Bristol counties, an estimate was made of the average salaries, cost of board and net incomes of the teachers in those towns, excluding high school teachers and principals of large schools. The average weekly salary was found to be $13.30, cost of board $5.84, net weekly salary, $7.47, and net yearly salary $269, an average net income above board of 85c per day. It had cost these teachers an average of two and one-half years and $650 to prepare themselves for their work. This shows why we keep teachers but for one or two years.


The school savings bank has not been in operation this year. Mrs. Goetz, who had charge of it last year, found the work more than she could give time for, and no one else has been found willing to undertake it.


.A bank has been in operation for two years in one of the towns of the district with marked success. But it is in one central


-95-


school of 130 pupils, and the work is done by one person who visits the school each week and makes collections from the dif- ferent rooms. It is very difficult to conduct a bank successfully among scattered schools; it requires much time, and some ex- pense.


The attendance for the year ending June 1914, was slightly better than the previous year. The following table compares the two years in average membership, attendance and per cent at- tendance.
