REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
To the Citizens of Eastham :
The School Committee respectfully present their annual report together with the report of the Superintendent for the year ending Jan. 31st, 1897 :
CORPS OF TEACHERS.
South School-Sara V. Mann, spring term ; Eunice E. Ransom, fall and winter terms.
Center School-Eveline W. Weekes.
North School-Alice F. Sears.
Acting upon the recommendation of the Superintendent, the Committee and Selectmen agreed to have the school re- port published with the town report.
The Committee have had entire charge of the school build- ings, since last April.
At the close of the last winter term of school Mr. Isaiah Horton superintended some very much needed repairs at the North school, the most important item being the laying of a new floor. Many small repairs have been made at each of the other schools during the year.
The New Normal Readers have been adopted, and a suffi- cient number of them bought to supply two classes each, in the Center and North schools. All the schools have been supplied recently with a number of different geographies and histories.
20
The teachers are still following the Course of Study for Elementary Schools, prepared by the State Board of Educa- tion.
Mr. W. O. Cartwright, who has been our superintendent for the past three years, has worked earnestly and faithfully for the good of our schools. His presence has always in- spired enthusiasm in both pupils and teachers. It was with regret that we learned of his resignation. We wish him success in his new field of labor.
Mr. Warren M. Dutton, of West Newbury, was elected to fill the vacancy.

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT.
School Committee of Eastham.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: I have the honor to submit my third annual report, it being the sixth in the series of Su- perintendents' reports.
The present report covers practically the entire calendar year 1896, and therefore includes in the statistical table the data for the winter term of that year, which have been pre- viously reported. This change has been made in the date of the presentation of the report in response to your re- quest, and in accordance with my recommendation made in last year's report.
The schools of the town have made substantial progress during the past year. The teachers who were elected at the beginning of the Spring term to fill the vacancies existing in the North and Centre schools, Miss Alice F. Sears at the former and Miss Eveline W. Weekes at the latter, have now been employed for two terms. At the close of the Spring term Miss Sarah V. Mann resigned her position as teacher of the South school, in order that she might make special preparation for the work of a kindergartener, and Miss Eu- nice E. Ransom was elected to the position. All these teachers have taught faithfully and successfully. Improve- ment has been evident in them, and therefore in their pu- pils.
The most important single step that has been taken is the introduction of a considerable variety of text-books in
23
history and geography, thus facilitating the laboratory methi- od of studying these subjects and the topical method of teaching them and reciting in them. While one set of text- books sufficient in number for the entire class is still re- tained, this set is supplemented by a large number of dif- ferent texts. While the number of books is small in each variety of the different texts, the aggregate is quite large; and yet these new books have been furnished without ex- orbitant increase in expense. By this plan every pupil is enabled to get the same account, or to find the topic treat- ed in the same manner, in the regular class text-book; while, from the different accounts found by various pupils in the several supplementary books, or from the different treatment found therein, discussion may be excited, com- parisons instituted, and results arrived at. The plan has been in operation too short a time in this town to speak of results with any degree of positiveness; where it has been tried, however, I have never heard of failure; and it gives promise of success here.
There is very little change in attendance this year over last. While the number of half-day absences is somewhat greater, it is evident that this increase must come from the greater average membership, since the per cent. of at- tendance is about the same as last year. Although the number of tardy marks in the North school is slightly less than last year, it still has more than twice as many as the South school (although it is smaller than the latter) and has nearly half the total number in all the schools, and al- though the North school has made a gain, each of the other schools has lost on this item, so that the total for the year for all the schools is greater than last year. The number of dismissal marks for the year has increased one-half; this increase appears to have been greatest in the South school which reports nearly three times as many as last year. The number of visits by the Committee has increased from 30 to 47,-more than 50 per cent. This is gratifying, as showing interest, but the number still falls short of the number (54)
24
which one school should receive from the Committee in a year. How much farther is it from the number of visits (162) that all the schools ought to receive from the Com- mittee in the course of the year!
We are always pleased to welcome the parents and citi- zens generally to the school rooms. It is a pleasure, there- fore, to record a considerable increase in these visits; it af- fords me special pleasure to note, also, that this increased interest of parents is shown on the days when the regular work of the school could be inspected -- and not on closing days. In fact, the attendance on closing days has fallen off nearly one-half; while the visitation on other days has near- ly doubled. The total number of visits, however, is still only one-fourth of what it should be.
The standard of attendance would not have been main- tained had it not been for the firm stand of your Board during the asparagus and cranberry seasons in refusing em- ployers permission to hire children between 8 and 14 years of age, and in discouraging parents from taking their chil- dren out of school to work at these industries.
The member of the School Committee takes upon him- self a solemn oath to perform faithfully and to the best of his ability the duties of his office. Is it not a fair proposi- tion that one of these duties is the support of all school laws? Is not the official violating his obligation when he encourages pupils, parents, and employers to disregard the compulsory attendance law? Although the School Com- mittee are not under bonds, they have greater interests to guard than has the Town Treasurer. Human hearts and immortal souls are greater treasures than dollars and cents. The proper direction of the child's mind to obedience to law, respect for authority, regard for virtue, faithfulness to duty, and unselfishness in conduct, is a far more important matter than the proper handling of the public purse. Sec- tion 16 of Chapter 44 of the Public Statutes provides that "The resident ministers of the gospel, the selectmen and the school committees shall exert their influence and use
25
their best endeavors that the youth of their towns shall regularly attend the schools established for their instruc- tion."
Success of either pupils or teachers who go out from among usis always pleasing. The Committee will therefore doubt- less be glad to learn that the two teachers who left us last spring, after teaching in the town successfully for several years, secured better positions elsewhere; and that one of them has received promotion after promotion.
The class in Grade 8 in the South school should enter the Orleans High school next fall; and thereafter there should be fresh entries each year in that High school from this South school. I hope that in time one or two pupils will also attend the Orleans High school from the Centre and North schools. Geographically, the South district be- longs to Orleans rather than to Eastham. The people in the south part of the town trade at Orleans stores, attend Orleans churches, patronize the Orleans P. O., R. R., freight and express offices. Their interests are mainly centered in Orleans. It would therefore seem only natural that some of their children should be attending school in that town.
Very respectfully,
W. O. CARTWRIGHT, Superintendent.
