QUALIFICATIONS OF TEACHERS."
In selecting teachers the following qualifications should
33
have weight, in the order in which they are named: 1st, Character ; 2d, Scholarship : 3d, Training ; 4th, Experience.
1. Character includes not only ethical traits but person- ality, manners, habits, etc. The importance of employing only teachers who by their example lead pupils to form proper habits cannot be overestimated. In order to determine the character of a candidate a personal interview is essential, for testimonials are seldom, if ever, sufficiently explicit to be relied upon in this, the most essential of all qualifica- tions. It would be good economy for the town to follow the practice of many other towns and send one member of the school board to interview eligible candidates before any one is elected to a position.
2. Scholarship is the next essential, more important, I think, than either training or experience. Even trained teachers may be unable to teach successfully because their intellectual ability is too limited, and they have not that broad culture so essential to the best service. They may toil long and faithfully, yet their pupils may not develop into strong-minded boys and girls, because, not recognizing the "wheat from the chaff" in the subjects of instruction and in methods, they waste their pupils' time in drills upon non-es- sentials.
3. There was a saying that a "teacher is born, not made," but modern thought claims that "a good teacher is both born and made." Whatever natural aptitude for teaching a person may enjoy, professional training is essential for making him the most successful teacher that he can become, and, in this day of Normal and training schools, we should accept no others.
4. Experience may be valuable if acquired under favor- able conditions, but ten years of continuous experience in a small, isolated, ungraded school that has not been under good supervision is almost sure to be worse than no exper- ience at all.

On account of the importance of securing the best possi- ble teachers that our conditions will permit, I suggest the following recommendation :
In considering the candidacy of applicants for positions in the Eastham schools, the following qualifications shall be investigated and have weight in the order in which they are named-Character, Scholarship, Training, Experience.
No teacher shall be elected until after having had a per- sonal interview with one or more members of the School Board, unless circumstances render an interview impractica- ble or unnecessary .
In harmony with the vote adopted by the Board in 1897, none except graduates of at least two year courses, or those having equivalent qualifications shall be employed as teach- ers.
Other things being equal, preference shall be given to candidates who are qualified to give instruction in elemen- tary music.
PROFESSIONAL SPIRIT AMONG OUR TEACHERS.
Much depends upon the professional spirit of the teacher. If she is alive to the necessity of offering her pupils only the best and feels the need of constantly searching for it, there is no danger that her work will be done poorly or that she will "get in the ruts" and become a mere mechanical, pedantic school-keeper. As an assistance in encouraging the professional spirit which is already highly commendable among our teachers we shall hold teachers' meetings every month during the school year. Besides considering matters of general interest we are making a systematic study of McMurray's "Method of the Recitation." The professional spirit of your teachers is also reflected by their subscription to teachers' papers. The following periodicals devoted to school work are taken by one or more of your teachers : Normal Instructor, Teacher's World, Pathfinder, Plan Book,
35
Modern Methods, American Primary Teacher. This is an average of two papers to each teacher, and as they some- times exchange papers each teacher has access to all of the above.
One of your teachers took a course of study at a Normal . School last summer. All three have purchased "Stoddard's Lectures" in ten volumes. These books are said to be val- uable aids in teaching History and Geography. All of your teachers attended the two day Institute at Hyannis last No- vember. This was a most helpful and inspiring meeting, and, in the opinion of two who were in a position to know, it was one of the best, if not the best one held in the State during the past fall.
GRADING AND PROMOTION.
Grading and promotion should be determined by the teacher subject to the approval of the Superintendent. Each pupil should be placed where he can do the best for himself, whether that be promotion to advanced work or continuation in the same grade of work. No absolute stand- ard can be established. The fact that John gets 100 per cent. in arithmetic and James only 68 per cent. is no proof that John has done his best or that he has received more benefit from the arithmetic lesson than James. Possibly no two teachers would mark the above mentioned papers ex- actly alike. So long as people differ in any way, so long will their standards vary, and so long as standards vary no absolute dependence can be placed upon any marking or ranking system. Superintendent Hervey of Pawtucket, R. I., says : "The ideal school is by no means. the one where all pupils reach the highest mark in every study; but rather the school where individual differences are cheer- fully recognized, and where each pupil, with no incentive but that which springs from a sense of individual responsi- bility, without pride and without shame, lives up to the best
36
there is in him. The bright boy who learns with little effort should not be given the occasion to feel that, though he has not done much to merit it, he is really a very su- perior person ; nor should the slow boy, when he reluc- tantly carries home his report, be forced to the conclusion that, though he has striven as never before to do his best, somehow there is something counted more worthy than faithful effort, and that he, through no fault of his own, has fallen short of it. A system of marking that lays the emphasis upon attainment, rather than upon faith- ful effort, can hardly fail to confuse ethical distinctions in the mind of the child and to discourage those who stand in greatest need of help."
STATISTICS.
There has been a slight improvement in attendance during the past year. This has been most marked in the North School. I regret to note that there has been an increase of 162 in the number of tardinesses.
The correction of these evils can be accomplished by parents and teachers working together, but by neither alone. The habit of punctuality is too valuable to be trifled with. Let the co- operation of the home and the school for which the Cape has already received honorable mention be brought to bear upon this thief of opportunity. In many cases parents are the cause of the tardiness of their children. They should not forget that a written excuse for absence or tardiness does not mitigate the harmful effect of the evil upon their children. It simply transfers the blame from the child to the parent or to the proper cause. It is the teachers' duty, ex- pressly stated by statute, to train their pupils in right habits, and it is in virtue of this responsibility that they have the right or rather the obligation of knowing the cause of each absence, tardiness, or dismissal.
By direction of the State Board of Education the statis-
37
tics are to be given for the natural school year, viz., from September to June, instead of from January to December, as heretofore. Therefore there are no statistics for the fall term just completed, except the table of enrollment and av- erage age.
HIGH SCHOOL.
Now that the town has voted to transport her high school pupils to Orleans every child in town may enjoy the bene- fits of a high school education. The pupils who are now in the school are doing very creditable work and the Eastham schools that prepared them receive their share of the honor. In regard to the Eastham pupils Mr. L. E. Ryther, Princi- pal of the Orleans High School, writes as follows: "The pupils in attendance at the Orleans High School from the Town of Eastham have thus far maintained a high standard in scholarship and deportment. They seem to have had ad- equate preparation for the accomplishment of the required work in a creditable manner. I cannot see that their atten- dance or scholarship have suffered from the inconvenience of coming from a distance."
