MRS. HERBERT C. CLARK, Librarian.


The Trustees had a new flagstaff erected on the Library lawn in place of the old one which was found to be unsafe.


The Trustees also installed a system of water works. A small house was built near the pond for a gasoline engine, with two lines of hose reaching the Library building. It was late in the season when this was completed, but we hope another season to have the lawn kept in fine condition.


The walks have been put in good condition by the use of crushed stone which the Trustees bought of the Town.

School Committee of Eastham.


SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.


To the School Committee of Eastham:


MRS. MOORE AND GENTLEMEN :- I have the honor to submit my seventh annual report on the condition of your schools :


The school year ending in June, 1907, had in it all the elements of success as the term must be understood as applied to our small rural schools. There was good teach- ing, for both of our teachers were normal school graduates and teachers of experience; excellent training, for our teachers possess the professional spirit, and are entirely devoted to their work ; substantial progress in the academic subjects of the curriculum, as well as in music and drawing ; no serious outbreak of any form of disease to affect the at- tendance ; and in addition, the cordial support of the parents and townspeople, which is always a most inspiring influence. City schools have their kindergartens, their manual training rooms, their athletics, their school playgrounds, their vaca- tion schools and evening schools ; our children come from homes where intelligent parents train them in the knowledge of many useful duties, from farms where the muscles have little occasion for getting flabby, where the fresh ocean breezes fill the lungs at every breath they draw, where there is such freedom and exhilaration as the city school cannot offer. And if our school surroundings are rude as com-


44


pared with the fine edifices and grounds wherein their city cousins receive their instruction, there is a ruggedness in country training, a largeness and broadness that make our boys and girls successful competitors with the city-trained in whatever sphere of life they find themselves in maturer years. Thus the law of compensation holds true here as in all things. There is no royal road to knowledge-it is hard and continuous work that counts whether in city or country. Each community must deal with its own peculiar conditions. The pioneer who blazes his path to larger things through a howling wilderness lives the real life no less than the man of business who fights his way to the top through paved streets and scenes of luxury. We need no schools for the deficient-they are not here ; we need no artificial apparatus to keep our bodies healthy-nature supplies it in abundance ; if luxury is desirable it is ours to struggle for later on. Meanwhile we can give our children enough of the beautiful in art and literature; enough of the knowledge of the science of cleanliness and health in everyday living ; enough of the value of temperance and virtue, of clean, honest living ; as shall make them desirous of those things in their homes and in all their relations with their fellows. This much we can do even in our country schools, and to strive to this end is well worth all our efforts.


There have been frequent opportunities during the year for the teachers to receive professional help, enthusiasm and inspiration.


Following is a list of conventions and meetings held :


Nov. 16, 1906, State Institute at Hyannis.


Nov. 16, 1906, County Convention at Hyannis. April 18, 1907, District Meeting at Harwich. October 22, 1907, State Institute at Orleans. A Visiting Day each term.


45


The teachers of the district are reading this year Hamilton's Recitation ; a book intensely practical and suggestive, and dealing with those relations between teacher and pupil that are most intimate : in the recitation the minds of teacher and pupil touch ; and here, if at all, the teacher exerts a positive. active influence for directing growth or retarding it. It is not so helpful for two teachers to read together such a book as to read it in a larger class, and I hope arrangements will be made whereby the teachers of Eastham may meet with the teachers of Orleans for study and discussion at least once each month. It would bring the teachers of these two towns in closer touch with the others' work, and as the pupils of this town eventually attend the Orleans high school such a course would be beneficial to all.


I have supplemented the course of study followed in grades 1, 2, 3 and 4 in reading, number work and language, by a statement of the work in those subjects in detail, so as to leave little to conjecture and at the same time not to limit the individuality of the teacher in their presentation. I have asked teachers to plan each day's lessons in advance and to keep the same in a plan book designed for that pur- pose. I believe that this not only leads to a clearer pre- sentation of the subject but effects a great saving of time; as it insures logical presentation, eliminates repetition and unnecessary explanations and strengthens both teacher and pupil, by leading the teacher to discover her own powers and limitations, and teaches the child how to study.


The tendency of the education of today is to get away from purely scholastic, academic courses of study into courses where industrial work is recognized as a potent factor in intellectual and social development. Secretary


46


Martin, of the State Board of Education says : "The idea is deep rooted that education consists of academic culture ; that schools exist to promote that culture . .. .


books, pictures, statuary and decorative plants are provided to cul- tivate and minister to the aesthetic sense of the children. The sense they do not cultivate is a sense of the dignity of manual industry . The subject of industrial ed- ucation is being discussed at institutes and conventions, and wherever educators meet throughout the state. Already it is a law of the state that industrial schools may be estab- lished, and steps are being taken to secure state aid for the establishment of industrial courses in public high schools.


At my request, Miss Keith sent me a communication dealing with some work she has done in this direction. I cannot improve upon her statement and so give it verbatim : "Manual training was commenced in the school three weeks previous to the Christmas vacation. The children made napkin rings and woven mats of raphia, as presents. The work was so successful that money was readily subscribed by the children for buying reeds in order that baskets, table mats and whisk broom holders might be made. Since the holidays they have been working on the baskets and mats, three baskets having been completed and taken home.


The children do 'all of this work outside of school hours and are very enthusiastic.


Although basketry is not usually done in the lower grades, so far as I know, I find that the work of the first grade com- pares very favorably with that of the fourth grade.


In the near future, probably this week, we will make brass pin trays and pencil holders.


The pleasure and interest taken by the children in this work, and the beneficial effect it has in their increased in-


47


terest in the regular school lessons more than repay the extra labor of preparing the work for them."


Miss Bunnell's plan is to have the children make port- folios for holding school papers. Under skillful and intelli- gent direction I believe this work will prove helpful to the pupils, especially in the training it affords for careful, pains- taking and correct work.


In conclusion I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness to you for your support and interest during the year, and through you extend my congratulations to the citizens of the town for the really creditable progress their schools have made and are continuing to make under the teachers now in charge of them.


Respectfully submitted,


FRANK H. HILL, Superintendent of Schools.
