SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
To the School Committee of Carver :
Schools have felt the effect of the war equally with other kinds of business. Those employing workers in any business know the difficulty of securing them. War work drew many from teaching, and doubtless many will return to it later, but they are not doing so yet. This is not the only cause of the scarcity of teachers. A less number of young women and an exceedingly small number of young men seem to be preparing for teaching. One of the state normal schools that formerly had an enrollment of between one and two hundred students now numbers but two men and twenty-six women. The normal schools now accept certificates from approved high schools in lieu of entrance examinations. A number of certificates were received by one normal school last spring. but several to whom they were granted did not enter the school in the fall. The principal wrote to those who failed to appear asking if they would state their reasons for it. One of the replies shows what seems to be a growing feeling among young women who might be expected to prepare for teaching. It said, "I have watched young women who have gone into commercial and related work. Their employers recognize the increased cost of living, and have raised their salaries willingly to meet the changed conditions. I have also watched those who are teaching .. In many cases. perhaps in most. salaries have been raised some- what, but in most cases it seems to have been done grudgingly. I do not care to put myself in a position to have to submit to this attitude toward myself and my work on the part of the public. Therefore I did not enter the normal school." It is unfortunate that this feeling prevails, for it prevents many

young women who would make successful teachers from enter- ing the work.
Thirteen positions, throughout the superintendency district of which Carver is a part, that were to become vacant at the end of the summer term were filled before its close. Three vacancies occurred during the summer. vacation, two during the fall term, and one at the winter vacation. But as these were the total changes for four towns, under present condi- tions, they are not excessive. Unfortunately fifty per cent. of the resignations occurred in Carver. The teachers who resigned were Miss Mary McGrath at the South Grammar school, now teaching in Fall River; Miss Bertha Richmond at Bates Pond, now teaching in Raynham; Mrs. Mildred Shaw at the Centre Grammar school, now teaching in Rochester; Mrs. Emma Smith at the North Primary, now teaching in Raynham; Mrs. Helen C. Griffith at the North Grammar school, not teaching .; Miss Zelda Goodwin at Popes Point, not now teaching; and Miss Mary Smith who resigned from the South Grammar school at the end of the first week of the fall term, on account of sickness. It was impossible to find a satisfactory teacher for this school at the salary offered, and it was necessary. to close the school. The Bates Pond school was closed at the end of the summer term. The pupils above the third grade in the Bates Pond and south schools are carried to the Center Gram- mar and Intermediate schools. The intermediate school is in the old primary building. All pupils are now in five schools as shown in the following table.

There were 131 pupils in the elementary schools and twenty- four in the High School on January 1. 1919. Two years ago there were 16? and four years ago 222 in the elementary schools.
There are not enough pupils at the Center for either a gram- mar or a primary school. There are not enough pupils for a grammar school in any section of the town. The grammar and intermediate pupils should be carried from the north and south schools to the Center, as is being done now, or all pupils at the Center should be carried to the north and south schools. The plan that is in operation now is the better of the two, because if the pupils from the center of the town were divided between the north and south schools each teacher would have, suppos- ing they were divided evenly, twenty-eight pupils and five grades, whereas if the pupils from the north and south schools were carried to one locality, while each teacher would have the same number of pupils she would have but three grades, IV, V. VI for one and VII, VIII, IX for the other. The advantage to the pupils of having a smaller number of grades to a teacher admits of no argument. No better plan. if we are looking for the good of the children, could at present be made. The in- termediate school. now in the old primary building. should be in the old town hall, if the town wishes to use it for school purposes.
