By the co-operation of teachers and the town Librarian, arrangements are made at the Library for a children's room, where occasionally teachers may go with a group of chil- dren and there direct their reading and selection of books. The creation of the Library habit is of great importance in our educational work. There is room at the Library also for the exhibition of the children's school work, and teachers will post there from time to time very creditable work which the children are doing. I most heartily approve of this and most cordially and earnestly invite the public to inspect this work.
ATTENDANCE.
The attendance for the year was generally good. Sev-
46
eral children had scarlet fever in the month of December. The percentage for this month was exceedingly low but the average of the other eight months would give us a high percentage. Parents and teachers must be zealous in this matter of attendance. The teacher cannot instruct the absent child.
The pupil should have good and reasonable excuse, one that would be satisfactory to Superintendent or state officials, for absenting himself from school. Let parents see to it that their children are in school "every day that school keeps."
SANITATION.
In a paper by Alvin Davidson, Professor of Biology in Lafayette College, entitled "Death in the School Drinking Cup," and distributed by the State Board of Health, we quote the following :
"The greatest achievement of science in the opening de- cade of the twentieth century is the awakening of the people to the fact that most human diseases are preventable and a large proportion of early deaths avoidable. At least 700,000 of the million and a half deaths occurring annually in the United States result from the minute parasitic plants and animals gaining access to the body. These invisible foes wage a continual warfare against both strong and weak, rich and poor. Civic duty as well as self preservation demands that these life destroyers should as far as possible be shut out of the human system.
The chief avenue by which bacteria enters the body is the mouth. The air, food, water and especially the drinking cup are the usual means by which the disease-producing parasites are transferred from one person to another. It is an es-
C
S
47
tablished fact that a considerable number of well persons harbor in their mouths the germs of grippe, pneumonia, diph- theria and tonsilitis."
Upon examination of several public and school drinking cups by the same writer, the inner surface of each cup was swarming with bacteria and germs of various dangerous diseases. These facts place upon school officials and parents grave responsibility. The sanitary conditions of school- houses and of outbuildings-cleanliness, the water supply, prevention of dust in rooms, effective ventilating systems or methods, a proper container for water instead of the old pail, individual drinking cups, proper arrangements for washing and the use of the towel are of vital importance to the health of the children. Parents should arouse them- selves to the extent at least to see to it that every child shall have his own drinking cup and some means for drying his hands whenever he washes at school. We would shrink in disgust from the thought of using our neighbor's tooth- brush or his spoon at table. Why should we not refuse, then, to use his cup or glass ?
I would recommend that the town buy three three-gallon, porcelain-lined, fauceted tanks for water and require every pupil to supply himself with a drinking cup.
Manual work was carried on by both schools for a con- siderable time during the year, and this year the work is going on with interest. The Primary children have been especially interested in making a miniature house and fur- nishing it. This was done by making use of weaving, mat sewing, wall paper designing, drawings, paper folding, etc., and the house stands finished and furnished from the door mat to the piano and the people living therein. Drawing
48
and Music are being taught by the regular teachers without supervision.
HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS.
Before closing I feel that I must say a word concerning the attitude of some High school pupils and the quality of their work. I am sure that there are some who are not do- ing their best work. They seem to be satisfied with small endeavor and very ordinary or small results. Generally speaking the pupil who is not passing or who is barely pass- ing is not working. He is not applying himself. Standard High school work can not be done within school time proper. This is accepted everywhere as impossible. From two to four hours per day of outside or home study, for preparation for the coming day is necessary. No student can afford to neglect this part of his High school duties. Parents should have a deep interest in this matter and should require regu- lar systematic study outside of school hours. In this way only are they able to make the most of the advantages a High school affords. The State is not willing to keep drones in school year after year. The School Committee is held responsible if such conditions exist.
I wish to thank all committees, teachers and parents for the support received during the year.
Respectfully submitted,
LORING G. WILLIAMS.
