In Carver thirty-seven women are receiving informa- tion on general home-making subjects. There has been special participation in the canning and money manage- ment program.


Calls have been made in Carver as requested but out- side of cranberries the agricultural interests are limited. Eighty-two cranberry men were furnished information this past year relating to Weed-Control-Cranberry Fer-


-76-


tilizers-Gypsy Moth-False Blossom-Fruit Worm and Black Headed Fire Worm-Resanding Bogs. These men also received copies of the publication "The Cape Cod Cranberry Industry." The yearly spray chart was revised and distributed to the entire list of growers. May I sug- gest if you are not on the Extension Service list to receive cranberry information sent out that your town director will see it is listed if you will let her know.


Approximately 50 boys and girls enrolled as 4 H Club members in the garden and home furnishing clubs. Mrs. Anne McFarlin was the leader of the girls' home furnish ing club which met weekly. At these meetings instruc- tion was given in the "Cheery Kitchen" program which is one phase of the home furnishing club program.


The garden club members were under the supervision of Mrs. Wm. Holmes who visited each of the garden club members. An exhibit of the garden products raised by club members was held in conjunction with the annual Old Home Day in August.

REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE


We wish to direct your attention to the financial report of this department and the reports of the Superintendent and Nurse. These reports show, we believe, a satisfac- tory account of our stewardship of the funds appropri- ated for the support of education of Carver children during the year just closed.


The policy of the committee is to operate as econom- ically as possible without impairing the quality of educa- tion in the schools. We aim to take advantage of any possible saving at all times. Thus we are able to show in our financial report an unexpended balance of $1,086.40 in the General Account for 1936. The appropriation asked for 1937 is $205.55 less than the amount expended during 1936 and $1,101.00 less than the amount appro- priated for 1936. The account of Vocational Education shows an unexpended balance of $640.01 for 1936. The appropriation asked for 1937 is $408.16 less than that for 1936.


Sanitary conditions at the Center School are such that we feel something must be done. After consideration of several propositions and conferences with the Finance Committee, we expect to make a recommendation to the annual Town Meeting.


In closing we wish to express our appreciation to all who have served this Department during the past year.


Signed,

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT


To the School Committee:


Herewith I submit my annual report as superintendent. The falling off in the enrollment in the first grade caus- ing the transportation of pupils of that grade from the North to the South district has worked out to very good advantage. However, the enrollment for next year indi- cates that a much greater number will be from the North, and it will probably be necessary to reopen the room at the North School and combine Grades One and Two, and Three and Four, in both the North and Benjamin Ellis Schools. This will leave the room at the Center now oc- cupied by the Fourth Grade free for the special class.


The arrangement made for the present term of using the basement of the Town Hall for the manual work of the special class, and the extending of that type of work to the seventh and eighth grades may I believe be con- tinued next year.


Our teachers are continuing their enthusiasm for pro- fessional growth, several attending the group of princi- pals and teachers which meets monthly in Bridgewater for discussion of the Social Studies program. This atti- tude certainly justifies the return of the cut in salary made three years ago, especially in view of the rising costs in living.


It was with great regret that we felt obliged to grant leave of absence to Mrs. Pratt for the year, and her death this fall removed one of our most earnest and conscien- tious teachers.


Some criticize the cost of our schools as excessive. Among the 133 towns in Group IV,-towns of less than 5000 inhabitants not maintaining High Schools Carver ranks 19 in valuation per pupil in average membership:


-82-


83 in expenditure per $1000. valuation from local taxa- tion, and 110 in rate of total tax per $1000. valuation. Certainly not an excessive budget as compared with the other towns in our group.


In considering the budget the citizens should take into consideration the reimbursements from the State, tuition from State wards and from Middleboro, and the income from invested funds which in the current year amount to $6,986.00


MARRIED WOMEN AS TEACHERS


Considerable criticism is expressed regarding the em- ployment of so many married teachers. Such teachers having reared their families, or having but one child, yearn to get back into teaching work. They have the dis- tinct advantage of having had the experience of mother- hood. They have a sympathy for and understanding of the child such as the non-parent seldom attains. They have the stability of temperament of the married person which is no slight factor in the matter of teaching. If these have the gift and temperament of the teacher by nature, how much greater advantage it is for the world as well as for themselves for them to render that economic service of which they are most capable. These teachers also give evidence of a greater interest in professional improvement and the newer trends in education.


IS THE PRESENT SYSTEM OF MARKING NECESSARY?


This question has agitated the educational world for years. More and more educators are admitting the tyranny of the marking and examination system with its injurious effects upon the psychology and health of the child. Eugene Randolph Smith said at a convention in Cleveland, "Of all the unethical treatment to which we submit children, marking is the worst. Why should we make the ones who cannot do well with reasonable effort unhappy because they weren't built that way? Why should we make the ones who do the same work with the utmost ease a little top-heavy in the feelings about them-


.


-83-


selves because they manage to do it without much work? It isn't a good foundation for habits in either case."


The report system used in many of the progressive schools describes in terms other than percentage, not only the academic work of the children, but their character development, creativeness, effort and so forth, valuing the child as a whole and not as an intellect only. These reports go out quarterly or semi-annually as form letters to the parents, and are for them only. This report system keeps the parent informed of the all-round program of his child, and enables him to co-operate with the school in seeking to eliminate faults and develops desired virtues.


In this connection, I urge parents to visit schools fre- quently, that they may observe the work of the school and confer with the teachers. It is only by sympathetic co- operation that the child's best interest can be fostered.


Respectfully submitted,


ARTHUR B. WEBBER.
