SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
TO THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE OF MENDON :-
The twenty-third annual report of the superintendent of schools is herewith presented :-
CHANGES OF TEACHERS.
During the summer vacation Mr. Risley was elected to the principalship of the Rutland high school at an increase of salary. While we had expected him to remain in Mendon, we could not properly stand in the way of his advancement. Mr. Steward, who was elected to fill the vacancy is a teacher of several years' experience. From the first day of school his success was assured. He has shown how much can be accomplished when both pupils and teacher are united in spirit and purpose.
Miss Pulsifer's salary was increased enough to retain her ser- vices for a second year. This was strongly recommended in last year's report. The results certainly justify the added expense. While she is temporarily away on account of illness in her family, it is expected she will return for the spring term.
On account of a change of residence, Mrs. Strickland resigned her position at the close of the fall term, and the school is now in charge of Mrs. Caroline Blackwood. Mrs. Strickland had taught this school for more than two years, always in the same quiet, efficient manner. Miss Ekman resigned after two years of service in the grammar school and Miss Fraser, who had declined to return to the East school, was elected to fill the vacancy. Miss Clara Wilder, a graduate of Bridgewater Normal School, was secured for the East school.
Nothing could prove more conclusively than some of the experiences of the past year that it is the teacher that makes the school. This fact has been illustrated in the primary school for several years. The important question, therefore, is not so much
48
what salary is paid as what quality of teaching is received. There is no doubt in my mind that a little more money expended to retain the services of a teacher known to be efficient and satisfactory will be found to be the best kind of economy in the end.
PRIZE ESSAYS.
The Daughters of the American Revolution offered prizes for the best essays on the general topic of the Causes of the American Revolution. The high school prize was won by Martha Lowell, and the grammar school prize by William Brown of the Albeeville school.
The pupils of the Mendon high school are eligible to compete for the Delano Patrick Peace Prizes, but as a rule only a very few enter the competition. Probably this is not due so much to lack of interest as to lack of confidence.
The kindness of the parties offering these prizes is deeply appreciated. The subjects are those in which every pupil should be interested and of which all should possess some definite knowl- edge. The pupils are greatly benefited by the reading involved in securing the necessary material for an essay. As an exercise in thinking and in English composition, nothing could be better. It is hoped that more pupils will compete for these prizes.
THE ADVANTAGES OF HIGHER EDUCATION.
Until comparatively recent years, the main purpose of a col- lege education was to prepare for the so-called learned professions. Unless one intended to become a minister, a doctor, or a lawyer, he saw no necessity of going to college. The old-fashioned district school, or at most the high school, could supply all the learning he would ever need. And his reasoning was not so very far wrong for those times, but life is much more complex now, and more edu- cation is necessary to meet modern conditions. In these days there are a great many positions in business, in mechanical pursuits, in engineering, in architecture, and in teaching which demand more than a high school education. Many types of farming are rapidly developing into skilled occupations requiring technical knowledge and training. Agricultural education has made wonderful prog-
49
ress during the last decade, and the end is not yet. Higher educa- tion, especially of a technical type, has a utilitarian value today such as it never possessed before. This fact should receive the serious consideration of every high school graduate.
THE SCHOOLS AND THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.
More intimate relations between the schools and the library would greatly promote the educational interests of the town. Aside from ethical values, probably the best thing the schools can give to children is a love of books and some knowledge of how to use them. Any child who has once acquired the habit of reading books of real merit will most assuredly educate himself even if his school days do not extend beyond the grades. The schools should spare no effort to lead children to read widely and intelligently. We have too long clung to the tradition that text-books above all others are the most valuable and appropriate for the school-room. Some years ago a prominent educator said that if half the text-books in common use were thrown into the waste basket and library books of the right sort and such magazines as the "World's Work" put in their place, the pupils would be enormously benefited by the change. Another educator said he would like to see in every college a "professorship of common sense" and another of "general infor- mation." These quotations indicate there are those who believe the public schools should show every child how to inform his own mind through judicious reading. I hope we shall use the library a great deal more, and with all, have faith to believe that the pupils will be the gainers and that their progress in their regular text- books will be even greater than now.
THE ROLL OF HONOR.
It will be noted that the roll of honor is very brief this year, nothwithstanding a few fine records. That of Gladys Blood is quite remarkable. Thirty-two terms, almost eleven years, with- out either tardiness or absence is a very unusual achievement. It involves excellent health, a firm purpose, and constant vigilance. Other records of ten and twelve terms are very commendable, but all of these are the showing made by a few star pupils. Some
50
means of improving the attendance of the rank and file of the pupils and thus bringing up the percentage of attendance for the entire town is the real problem. It is possible for a particular school to have two or three names on the roll of honor year after year and yet the percentage of attendance in that school might be very low and the instances of tardiness very numerous. Can some scheme be devised which will improve the attendance of all pupils, which will induce every pupil to be present and on time unless prevented by some perfectly valid reason ?
THE COST OF SCHOOLS.
It is true that more is being expended upon the public schools throughout the State than ever before, and the expendi- ture is far more likely to increase than to decrease. In the smaller towns it constitutes approximately one-third of all town expenses, surely more than any other single item. It is easy to see why the modern school should cost more than the district school as it existed even twenty-five years ago. Teachers' salaries are almost twice as high and certain to go higher. No just comparison can be made between the cost of heating now and twenty-five or fifty years ago. Then a box-stove in the middle of the room consuming three cords of wood per year furnished all the heat. Janitors, also ventila- tion, except by windows and cracks were unknown. It costs more to maintain a modern heating and ventilating system for a building of four rooms only than the entire cost of running two district schools of the old type. At the preesnt time we are paying enough for transportation of pupils to support two more such schools, and this is a change wholly unknown to the district schools. But practically all towns are committed to this newer and more ex- pensive method of conducting their educational affairs, and there is little likelihood that any of them will ever go back to the earlier and cheaper district schools.
With sincere gratitude for kindly co-operation from all sources, this report is
