Our Library has become so large now that it seems neces- sary to have our books classified. Acting upon the advice of the Free Public Library Commission we have decided to have this work done early this year.
We have received several gifts during the year, "The
36
Pilgrims and other Poems," presented by the officers of the Cape Cod Pilgrim Memorial Association, " A Life in Song," " The Aztec God," " Ballads and other Poems," were pre- sented by the author, George Lansing Raymond.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.
To the School Committee of Eastham:
MRS. MOORE AND GENTLEMEN : - I have the honor to submit my first annual report on the condition and needs of your schools :
In town and city the school receives probably as much and possibly more of the general appropriation than any other department of its government. While we would not consider of less importance those other departments so necessary to good government, yet I believe no one ques- tions that the business of education is by far the most important. This is as it should be. Education is the foundation upon which the whole superstructure rests. The training of our boys and girls to be and to become good citizens, is the greatest safeguard to the town, the state, the nation.
My knowledge of the educational side of the towns within my distriet - the amounts raised for the support of schools - the service rendered by those in office -the progress of the past few years - larger views of townspeo- ple in general - the strong tendency toward accepting that which is good in the changes our whole school system is undergoing, show me that the people of the Cape are espe- cially loyal to their schools.
The Town of Eastham is to be congratulated in the selec-
45
tion of its committee. All are interested in the welfare and progress of the schools. We must still look to the voters for the continuance of their favor with increased enthusiasm to the purpose that our schools may carry forward that spirit of progress and shall continue to be our pride.
The very excellent condition of the schools testify in no doubtful terms of the strong, tactful, intelligent leadership of Superintendent Frank H. Hill.
During the past summer the school building at North Eastham was moved to the site and connected with the building at the center. Necessary repairs were made and both schools are now comfortably quartered at one place. It seem's to me that the proposed plan of moving the South building to the same site is an admirable one. I believe, too, that the time is now ripe when we are able to carry this plan into execution. This provides for the lengthening the school course below the High to nine grades and three teachers, three grades for cach teacher. I consider this almost a necessity. It will give the primary pupils a better chance, although Miss Keith is carrying on the work in an eminently satisfactory manner, yet she is living the " strenuous life " and should she leave us we shall find it exceedingly difficult to find her worthy successor.
The ninth grade will be invaluable to those who feel the need of another year and do not wish to take up the work of the High School. The ninth grade should be allowed to take along with the cultural subjects, subjects practical, and if possible, those which will touch the after life and work of the pupil. For this purpose I shall hope that an extra room be provided as a laboratory or workshop for manual or industrial training and domestic science. This would
46
of course be attended with some additional expense, but the near future will demand more room.
Something in the manual training line has already been done by both your schools and I shall hope to be able to carry out this work regularly, as a great deal may be done without added expense except the cost of materials.
A glance at the statistics of the school year ending June, 1908, will show a rather low average attendance. This is easily accounted for, by the general spread of whooping cough. At the present time, the Fall term of 1908, a few pupils have scarlet fever, and it has seemed best to close the schools some two weeks before the scheduled time. This suggests the necessity of very close medical inspection and special care on the part of teachers.
Teachers have given the tests for sight and hearing. In- struction is being given as to the nature and prevention® of tuberculosis as required by law. I have placed at the teachers' disposal the little booklet by the State Board, also Dr. S. A. Knapp's essay on the subject, also, Prevention of the Spread of Tuberculosis, prepared by the State Board of Health. Teachers are giving one period per week to the subject, and as one teacher has said, she is teaching it every day and every hour of the day as pupils violate directions.
The influence of our schools should be such as to add dig- nity to honest labor of whatever sort. Through the schools there should be an interest awakened in the usual pursuits of the home town and new and profitable industries discov- ered that we may be able to retain the young men and women, and so give a new life and prosperity to the towns which are slowly becoming depopulated.
I believe it is your good fortune to be able to retain the services of Miss Bunnell and Miss Keith for another year.
47
I wish to express appreciation of my very cordial recep- tion into your midst.
Respectfully submitted,
LORING G. WILLIAMS,
Superintendent of Schools.
