REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
The School Committee herewith submit their annual re- port for the year ending Dec. 31, 1904, to which is appended the report of the Superintendent of Schools.
The schools under the present system continue to be a success and the Committee hope that the next step in ad- vance will be the providing of a suitable building to accom- modate the schools. It is also recommended that the citi- zens of the town see to it that the appropriations for the support of the schools shall be kept up to the present ratio of one-third of the whole appropriation, in order that the town shall receive the maximum amount from the School Fund.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
To the School Committee of Eastham:
MISS KNOWLES AND GENTLEMEN : Following is my fourth report as Superintendent of your schools.
The year has been an uneventful one, marked principally by a complete change in the teaching force ; and it is my pleasure to say here that the work of the retiring teachers, Misses Rogers and Clark, was conscientiously, faithfully and honestly well done. It was peculiarly to our advantage that we had their efficient services during the reconstruction period when the change from the district to the centralized school system took place, and that we could retain them until that system became well and favorably established in the town.
Miss Hattie Jeffers now has charge of the Grammar School, and Miss Etta E. Burbank is employed in the Primary. Both these teachers are graduates of the Gorham, Me., Normal School, and came to us highly recommended. They are working earnestly in their respective schools, and while it is too early to speak definitely of results in their work, there is ground for reasonable hope that the standard in the schools will be maintained.
The schools are large, and require character and firmness in their discipline. A well-disciplined school is worth work- ing for. Fortunately, the unruly element is confined to the
38
Primary School, where unruliness is not the result of vicious motives, but rather of the restlessness of the untrained. It is in the lower grades that the teacher finds wonderful oppor- tunities to train to immediate and exact obedience, to con- centration, and to habits of thought and action that in the higher grades distinguish the enthusiastic and purposeful pupil from the lazy and inapt. Here is laid the foundation upon which the superstructure of youth rises, to be a tower of strength or a crumbling ruin.
I wish the parents could see clearly the necessity of prompt and continuous attendance at school. Not only does a lax and shiftless attention to the details of school work result from persistent tardiness and frequent absence, but a vicious habit of unconcern for the well-doing of any task is engrafted upon the character to paralyze the efforts of the child throughout all his life. It is the habit of being prompt that counts. And the very foundation of successful work in the schoolroom is prompt and steady obedience, prompt and steady attention to work, punctual and steady attendance at school while school is in session. We do not ask parents to help us to make a better showing on our school register, or to bolster up our Table of Statistics that it may compare favorably with that of other towns, but we do ask them to have their child in school when the session opens and keep him there as long as the school is in session, during the day, during the term, during the year, that the child may acquire such a habit of doing all things promptly and carefully and completely, that his after life may be rich with deeds done and work accomplished.
I would suggest that the age of entering the schools be placed at six years. I believe it is a mistake to place a baby of five in the schoolroom, at the desk, at work. Let the mothers try keeping their babies of five in a chair four hours,
39
at home. How long before the little bodies will begin to collapse, the shoulders to droop, the head to drop to one side ? Granted, that it is different in the schoolroom; but it is only the contagion of numbers, of unaccustomed en- vironment, of forced interest, that keeps the little forms up- right, the baby minds obedient. The effect is the same ; the child is consciously tired at home - he must be tired, if unconsciously, at school. Give him another year of free- dom in the open. His progress, when he comes to school, will then be more rapid, his work more satisfactory, than is the case when he is forced to mental effort at the immature age of five.
You are having the advantage of an excellent High School in Orleans, and your children are doing good work there. I look to see the class leaving the Grammar School next Spring even better prepared for High School work than last year's class. I hope all the pupils will enter the High, that no one will for a moment think of finishing his school work until he has taken advantage of the High School course.
In closing my report I wish to thank the committee for your kind and helpful assistance during the year, and for your confidence in me.
Respectfully submitted,
FRANK H. HILL,
Superintendent of Schools.
