SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT
To the School Committee :
I am submitting my thirteenth annual report. It is my purpose to touch upon the work of the schools in its differ- ent phases only briefly.
The number of children in town of school age has had a marked decrease during the past six or eight years At one time we had approximately 100 elementary pupils- three schools with large enrollment in each room.
This year our present enrollment is 57. Because of this decrease the Committee decided to reduce the number of schools to two. This arrangement gives us 33 pupils in the Grammar school in the four upper grades. In the Primary school there are 24 pupils in the first four grades. This has made a pretty heavy schedule for two teachers, especially as we continue to give, although somewhat modi- fied, both the Manual Training and the Household Arts. In carrying out this plan we have been very fortunate in retaining the services of Mr. Nickerson and Miss Keith and good work is being done.
The percentage of High school pupils is very high. Twenty-six in High school means above thirty percent of all pupils in town. This probably without question is the highest percentage of any town in the state.
Our pupils graduating from the 8th grade are generally
73
well prepared to undertake the work of the High school. In some cases, however, because of poor attendance and a lack of interest usually born of poor attendance there are those who do poor work and fail in the things which they are prepared to accomplish. One hundred percent attend- ance is a goal that should be placed before parents and children alike and a supreme effort made to reach that goal.
School expenses remain generally at a high mark. Coal and books and supplies and salaries have been higher this year than ever before. At present, there seems to be a tendency toward normal conditions in the prices of com- modities and wages. It seems impossible that coal could stay at $20 to $24 per ton. The teachers' salary according to the best opinion in the country, must maintain not only its present scale, but must be considerably increased. This statement applies to a nation-wide salary situation.
The great shortage of teachers, the great numbers of people teaching who are not trained nor fitted to teach, these are the great vital problems before the educational world today.
The law of supply and demand will operate to force still higher teachers' salaries.
The total expenditure for schools is now just above $9000
Of this amount approximately $3650 is paid for High school tuitions and transportation, all of which is borne by the state. There are other reimbursements so that thic town bears slightly more than one-third the total expendi- . ture for schools.
The time has come when the south roof of the Primary building must be shingled, and the matter of painting out- side of all the buildings needs careful consideration as soon as a satisfactory drop in materials and labor has been reached.
74
Music and Drawing has been seriously interrupted this year because of the sickness and final resignation of Miss Amy C. Childs.
Miss Laura E. Haskins has been appointed for the work.
The report of the work of the boys in the Manual Train- ing course, and of the work in Household Arts, together with attendance tables and other data follow.
Respectfully submitted,
LORING G. WILLIAMS

REPORT OF MANUAL TRAINING FOR 1920
Eastham Grammar School
The class in manual training from January to June finished its book racks, made a chicken house for Mr. Rich, and spent the remainder of the time in constructing bird houses. The prize winners were put on exhibition at the Agricultural Fair.
This fall the class took up the desks and seats in the Intermediate room, made model airplane weather vanes, a wood-box for the Primary school, and are now working upon tie-racks for Christmas gifts. During both periods much time has been spent in doing odd jobs which have helped in the upkeep of the school and its grounds.
Respectfully submitted,
OTTO E. NICKERSON.
76.
REPORT OF SEWING AND COOKING
The cooking class from January until June carried on the regular work of preparing hot lunches for the children. Since September no work has been done on account of the very full day's program given to both teachers with their additional grades. Hot cocoa and soups will be pre- pared by the children when the cold weather commences.
After a very discouraging beginning in Sewing the class suddenly became deeply interested in their work and did an astonishing amount, both at school and at home. Some of the girls completed as many as twelve or even more gar. ments by June. From September until the present time the lessons have been chiefly elementary sewing, preparing for advanced work next year.
