REPORT OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
The School Committee herewith submit the following report for the year ending Dec. 31, 1901, to which is ap- pended the report of the Superintendent of Schools.
We have had two changes in our corps of teachers during the year. Miss Clark resigned at the close of the Winter term and Miss Doak after the close of the Spring term. Miss Clark's faithful and conscientious work in the Centre school was appreciated by the Committee and parents, and her resignation was regretted, not only by the pupils and parents of the Centre school, but by the towns people in general. Miss Goddard, of Montague, was elected to fill the vacancy at the Centre school, and Miss Clark, of Rock- land, Maine, to fill the vacancy at the South school.
The Committee consider themselves fortunate in securing Mr. Frank Hill, of. Rockland, Maine, who has had several years experience in superintending, to fill the vacancy made by the resignation of Mr. Chace, our former Superintendent.
The Village Improvement Society has offered a prize of $10 to the school which shall make the most improvement in its schoolground before next Labor Day. The schools wishing to compete should form an Auxillary Village Improvement Society.
The extra week vacation at the North School at Christmas will be made up at the close of the Spring term.
The Committee are in favor of consolidating the schools
26
because of the greater educational advantages that the child- ren would receive. Here are a few arguments in favor of the movement taken from a report of a committee on Rural Schools :
1. It permits a better grading of schools and classifica- tion of pupils. Consolidation allows pupils to be placed where they can work to the best advantage and gives more time to recitation.
2. It affords for thorough work in special studies such as drawing, music and nature study.
3. It opens the doors to schools of a higher grade to all pupils.
4. It insures the employment and retention of better teachers.
5. It adds the stimulating influence of large classes, with the resulting enthusiasm and generous rivalry. The disci- pline and training obtained are invaluable.
6. It affords the broader companionship and culture that come from association.
7. It results in the better attendance of pupils.
8. It leads to a better equipment of school buildings, a larger supply of books, charts, maps and apparatus. In our case it would be just one third of the present expense.
9. It quickens public interest in the schools. Pride in the quality of work done secures greater sympathy and better fellowship throughout the town.
Considering the question from the economic standpoint it would be the best thing for the town financially. We should save the entire running expenses of our schools, which would be over $400 per year. The cost of transport- ing pupils from the North and South sections of the town to the Centre would not be over $360 per year.
There would be the expense this year of moving the
27
North School building to the Centre and making the few necessary changes in the buildings ; it would not take a large sum of money to do this.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT.
EASTHAM, JAN. 13, 1902.
To the School Committee of Eastham :
MISS KNOWLES AND GENTLEMEN : I have felt that my first duty to your schools was to put them in such condition that the limited time I have to devote to them may be used eco- nomically and without waste; that instead of twenty-four stages of work in your three schools requiring my attention there must be but eight corresponding to the eight grades.
To this end I have prepared : a course of study that seems best suited to our needs at present and under which we can arrange our work to the best advantage until we are ready, together, to work towards something better; outlines for stated periods whose sole aim is to economize time in this pro- cess of systematization ; and a form of program-making with suggestions as to the time to be given to the several subjects of the several grades. By the beginning of the Spring Term the conditions above referred to should be realized. I have taken time for this work that later may be given to the indi- vidual needs of your pupils and teachers to their advantage, I sincerely hope. This work is not designed to touch, to any large degree, your eighth grade pupils ; my present aim with this class being to give them such work, in addition to what they already have, as will best fit them: (1) To enter the
30
High School, and (2) To fit them to take up their life work intelligently should this year be their last in school.
I advised purchasing, and, with the consent of the Secre- tary, have ordered for reading in the seventh and eighth grades Dole's "Young Citizen." All the schools are now well into the work of the Ward's Rational Method of Reading in the First Grade, and I believe its value will be demon- strated before the end of the year and that its worth will be recognized in the increased efficiency of the pupils in the grades following the first. One other book is needed to put the sixth grade where I wish it to be-some work in history to bridge the chasm between the Eggleston of the fifth and the Montgomery of the seventh grades. I suggest for this purpose Blaisdell's "Story of American History,"-four copies for each school. Beyond these, the only books needed will be such as are used to replace old and worn out books.
I will introduce here a few statistics ofthe Fall Term, 1901 :

During the Fall Term I visited your schools 21 times-7 visits to each school. From the point of view of the Super- intendent's efficiency alone, how much more I could have
31
done for your schools in twenty-one visits had consolidation been effected in your town !
So much food for thought was offered in the last report- that of Mr. Chace-that I will refrain from generalities, and so avoid the risk of repetition. For the intelligent interest you have shown in the schools and for the great aid you have afforded me by your cordial support, I thank you all.
Respectfully submitted,
FRANK H. HILL, Superintendent.
