Report of the Superintendent of Schools
To the School Committee of Eastham :
Herewith I submit the School Report for the Year 1941.
A School Report is made for the purpose of recording current facts for present information. It serves also as à record for future use.
Eastham School continues to maintain a very high standard. Another very successful year has passed. Be- cause facts are pleasant to relate does not make them any the less a statement of fact.
The building is being maintained in such fashion that it appears new and fresh. Its appointments are modern, sup- plies and books are adequate, instruction is excellent in quality and rich in content.
The school membership on October 1st was seventy- three. This is four more than a year ago. The 1940 October first membership reached the low point for the ten-year per- iod. Please refer to the Table on another page of this re- port.
We should note the fact that in addition to instruction in the so-called traditional school subject matter. sometimes referred to as the three R's, the pupils at Eastham enjoy the benefit of instruction in vocal music, instrumental music. art. health education, including the correction of dental and other defects. and some hand-craft, including conservation.
I am glad to observe the interest. effort and investment
(98)
in school lunch equipment. This is a good example of the helpful cooperation which the school receives from groups of people who have united as a Health Council and the 4-H Club to make their contribution toward building a better school and a very attractive town in which to live.
We were sorry indeed to have Miss Verrill leave our faculty. In her three years with us she had achieved an envi- able record as a teacher and attained the confidence and friendship of all who knew her.
Miss Newcomb is now teacher of the first and second grades and she is having a very successful year. We are glad to have Miss Newcomb with us.
We were saddened by the recent death of Mr. Hard- wick whom we had known and respected for so many years as custodian of the school. We miss his friendly greeting and cordial personality.
Mr. Nickerson makes the following report as Principal :
"The main difference from any other year has been the establishment of the lunch room. Thanks to the foresight of the Building Committee, no great outlay has been necessary. The Health Council has sponsored whist parties, given un- sparingly of their time and some material to see that the essentials were in readiness. Mrs. Freeman Hatch, when sell- ing the furnishings of her cottages last Spring, put aside and gave us so many useful articles of kitchenware (especially dishes) that we almost feel that our room might be called the Hattie Hatch Lunch Room. Other individuals have also presented miscellaneous articles so that it is almost a com- munity enterprise.
We have served a full meal on Fridays, and fruit or fruit juice on Mondays and Wednesdays. While we have been reeciving some Surplus Commodity supplies, we have
(99)
not, as yet, been granted the needed W.P.A. labor which has been so long promised by Mrs. Godfrey. Because of an anonymous school fund and the recent charge of five cents on Fridays, we have been able to serve a well-balanced meal which has been much enjoyed by the children each week.
Miss Newcomb has replaced Miss Verrill in the Prim- ary Grades and, when she has had the experience of her pre- decessor. we know that her work will be of equal value.
We are continuing our club work with the assistance of nine excellent adult leaders who give their Thursday after- noons for this worthy cause. We are holding our grade as- semblies every other Friday at which we try to feature all the special holidays as they come as well as safety, health, etc., programs.
The music, both vocal and instrumental, and our art work are of the same high quality. Miss Morris cooperates splendidly with her health department. She has conducted the usual dental clinic and the audiometer tests. Due to ill health, our janitor, Mr. Hardwick, was forced to leave after many years of good service. He is replaced by Carlton Mayo who is doing everything possible to try to please us.
All three teachers took a special course in elementary teaching methods with Miss Bradbury of Hyannis. It was, without exception, the most interesting ever taken by us, and of real practical use in all our school rooms.'
The Supervisor of Art, Mr. Clarence K. Brayton, con- tinues his efforts to stimulate original and creative expres- sion. In the words of Mr. Brayton :
"We are slowly but surely building a good foundation in creative illustration and design. We are trying to get the children to do the thinking rather than the copying. This takes time but we are making progress.
