Superintendent of Schools' Report
To the superintending school committee and citizens of Glenburn:
I submit this my second annual report.
Owing to the shortage of teachers, it has been impossible to secure well trained ones for every school. Perhaps however we have fared as well in this respect as the average; for we have had some exceptionally good teachers.
It is always difficult to get, and more difficult to keep, good teach- ers in such buildings as we have to place them in.
I said but little last year in the town of Glenburn about repairs, thinking it unnecessary; because the few with whom I did talk gave me the impression that the whole town was very much in favor of repairing their school-buildings, and putting them all in first-class condition, and that they expected to begin last year.
I was unable to attend your town-meeting, and was very much surprised on hearing what you had done; for yours was the one town in my district that I felt would make the much needed repairs anyway, whether I canvassed the town or not.
Every one of the other towns put one building in first-class con- dition, receiving a generous amount of help from the State to aid in the work. You did nothing. This was not because your build- ings did not need it as much, or even more, than some of the others; but the talk was that material and labor was so high, and that you were undecided about the location of the school, so thought you had better wait another year, decide on the best location, and build a new school-house. This year the talk is that times are hard, and that the people will have a struggle to pay their taxes, if you make them as light as possible. There will never come a time when you cannot find some excuse if you are looking for one.
In the meantime your children must suffer the consequences, living in the unsanitary conditions surrounding those old build- ings, and putting up, in most cases, with inferior teachers; because the time has come when good teachers can demand, and get, some- thing better.
27
I fully realize that your taxes are high, and come hard in most cases; but it is for the interest of your children that you begin at once on this work; and I believe you are all willing to make the , necessary sacrifice, in order that their health, and training may be properly cared for.
Now it seems to me not only unnecessary; but expensive to run a school in the Gibbs District. The school is too small to be in- teresting to either teacher or pupils. It is costing about $30 per week to run it. We have on an average about seven scholars. I believe we can give them better advantages at the Center with one-half the expense.
