or longer before she would be familiar with the conditions of the town. I firmly believe it would prove to be the best kind of econ- omy to raise the salary of good teachers so as to keep them more than one year.
The question naturally arises at this point what to do in the case of teachers who for one reason or another are not quite satis- factory. It is assumed that a teacher will in all cases be given a full and fair opportunity to make good. If, after due trial, he or she proves to be a misfit for that particular place, it is best for the teacher, the school and the town that a change be made at the end of the year. Only in rare cases is a change during the year ad- visable. It encourages the pupils to feel that they can at any time get rid of a teacher to whom they do not happen to take a fancy. This would be exceedingly unfortunate for the school and unjust to the teacher. In no case is it wise for one to rock the boat in which he is himself a passenger.
The present corps of teachers seems to be individually and collectively satisfactory. The discipline and instruction are good, and the spirit of the pupils is on the whole studious. This is as it should be, for unless the children study, the best of teaching will fail to achieve its purpose. Hard study on the one hand is as essential to the education of the child as is good teaching on the other. Unless we can have both, the money expended for educa- tional purposes is wasted to just the extent that either is lacking. There never was a really good school where the lessons were not thoroughly learned, but many able men and women have come from schools where the teaching was not altogether good. Hence the inference is that lessons should be studied until they are learned. This is one of the most important educational principles I know, and the best teacher is the one who can enforce it, without friction if possible, but with friction if necessary.
ONE SESSION IN THE HIGH SCHOOL.
The change from two sessions to one was made at the begin- ning of the winter term. All of the patrons of the school were asked to express their wishes in the matter, and an unexpectedly large majority favored a trial of the one-session plan. It seems to be working very satisfactorily. It separates the larger from the
45
smaller pupils at recess, during the lunch period, and on the school grounds. This is a distinct advantage in many ways. There will be more room for sports and less danger from accidents to the small pupils. Possibly the new plan may not be so convenient for the homes, and it is not certain it will be conducive to the physical welfare of the students. These are features to be tested out by trial.
LAW RELATING TO VACCINATION.
Most of the parents have cheerfully complied with all legal requirements as to vaccination. The very few who have not prob- ably do not clearly understand the situation. The law reads as follows :-
"A child who has not been vaccinated shall not be admitted to a public school except upon presentation of a certificate granted for cause stated therein, signed by a regular practising physician that he is not a fit subject for vaccination."
It will be observed that it is not a personal consideration with the school officials. They have no option in the matter. Their personal opinions as to the wisdom of the law or the merits of vaccination have no bearing upon the case. The law distinctly states that a child who has not been vaccinated shall not be permit- ted to attend school unless he presents a certificate of exemption. If the law is just, it should be impartially enforced. If unjust, it should be repealed.
The summer vacation seems to be the natural and proper time to have children vaccinated. If attended to then, children are ready for school when it opens. Otherwise, their attendance is interrupted and their work suffers some loss.
All of the above is taken directly from last year's report. Some progress has been made during the year with this subject. There are fewer unvaccinated pupils in town now than a year ago, and the feeling against vaccination is probably less strong. In fact, there are so few left that a strict enforcement of the law at the opening of the next school year seems not only proper, but practi- cable. It certainly is not just to enforce the law in some families and not in others. Besides, we are advised by the State Board of Education that there is only one thing for us to do, and that is to
46
enforce the law even to the point of excluding all unvaccinated children from school unless they present a certificate of exemption.
BUILDINGS AND REPAIRS.
Taken as a whole, the school buildings of the town are in good shape. The main building is in good repair and well adapted to its purposes, but it needs painting to preserve it. Repairs, includ- ing shingling and a new floor, have been made at Albeeville from time to time, so that now the house is in very good condition. The outbuildings, also those at East Mendon, need attention. They are not up to the standards which the town maintains in other mat- ters, and they certainly would not meet the approval of a State in- spector.
NEW LEGISLATION.
State-aided high schools have now been placed under the direct control of the State Board of Education, as indicated by the follow- ing extract from the school laws : "Any high school maintained by a town required to belong to a superintendency union shall be main- tained in accordance with standards of organization, equipment and instruction approved from time to time by the Board of Edu- cation." The approval of the board depends upon the report and recommendation of the agent who inspects the school, and his report is determined largely by the showing which the various classes make at the time of his visit. Consequently, poor recitations on that particular day might produce unpleasant results.
Formerly the period of compulsory school attendance extended from seven to fourteen years. It now extends to sixteen years unless the child is otherwise regularly occupied. During the two years between fourteen and sixteen years of age a child must either be in school or at work. All children who remain out of school during these two years are required to have a special home permit, or an employment certificate if they work elsewhere, and must be employed at least six hours per day.
Four of our teachers joined the Teachers' Retirement Associa- tion, two because the law made it compulsory and two voluntarily. The retirement law went into effect July 1, 1914. Those teachers who entered the service for the first time after that date were re-
47
quired to join the association. The minimum annual assessment is thirty-five dollars. The principle of the retirement law is that of compulsory insurance or enforced saving. Viewed in this light, it is not a tax or an expense, but an investment for the teachers. If for any reason a member leaves the State or ceases to teach before the age at which she would be entitled to a pension or a retirement allowance, she may recover all the money she has paid in and three per cent. compound interest on the same.
A new tenure of office law went into effect on July 1, 1914. It applies to all teachers outside the city of Boston who have served their respective towns for three years or more. Such teachers must be re-elected permanently if at all. Just whom this law will benefit I am not prepared to say, but it is not likely to affect us either way for the present.
It is not quite conventional to close a report with a quotation, but the following from Emerson is so suggestive to old and young, and yet so gentle, that I venture to be unconventional :-
"The chief want in life is somebody who shall make us do the best we can."
