The rural schools all have a sufficient quantity of wood on hand to last until the close of the spring term.


THE SCHOOLS AND THE WAR


During the first three years of the present war, teachers were instructed to maintain a position of neutrality in their comments concerning current events, and in answering questions which would inevitably be asked about the war by pupils in the schools. Since the United States definitely placed itself with the Allies all excuse for neutrality has been removed. Teachers have been instructed to to be perfectly frank, yet tactful and careful in discussing the causes of the war and the position and aims of our own country in entering the conflict. Never before in the his- tory of our country have teachers had a more favorable op- portunity to inculcate patriotism, to teach the value of thrift and economy, and the necessity of loyalty to right ideals, than exists at the present time. There are evidences that the teachers, as a whole, are making the most of these opportunities.


The school children have responded promptly and gener- ously to all appeals which have been made to them to assist in the various patriotic movements recommended by the State and Nation.


Members of the High School have, during the past six months, purchased Liberty Bonds to the amount of $2700. They have also purchased War Saving Certificates to the value of $300 and are daily buying thrift stamps.


The High School Athletic Association is paying for a $50 Liberty Bond to start a sinking fund for athletics. A collection taken in the school last November for the Y.M. C.A. War Fund amounted to $25 and, at the same time,


19


the pupils pledged $705 for the same worthy purpose. $200 of this amount has already been paid, and the balance will be forthcoming on or before April 1st.


Nearly fifty of the High School pupils have rendered valuable service in the Red Cross drives and to other pat- riotic movements.


While more may be expected of the older pupils, the children in the grades have not been idle or indifferent. The members of the Grammar School and of the five lower grades have already purchased War Saving Certificates and Thrift Stamps to the amount of $400, and this amount is being increased from day to day. While exact returns from the rural schools can not be given at this time, the reports from teachers are encouraging.


Aside from the needs of the government for financial as- sistance at the present time, there is an educational value in these nation-wide movements which should not be over- looked. In addition to the actual raising of money for war purposes, the boys and girls are being taught, as never be- fore, the value of economy and thrift.


FINANCIAL STATEMENT


The citizens of Brunswick do not need to be reminded of the advance in the cost of living. This increase in cost is especially in evidence in the purchase of all material neces- sary for the maintaining of a school system. With scarce- ly an exception, every article used in a school room has in- creased in price from twenty-five to two hundred percent. The greatest possible economy has been practiced by the school department in purchasing materials, and by the teachers in the use of supplies. By reason of this economy only one of the school accounts shows an over draft. This is the common school account, and this contains the item of fuel. By a comparison of the present financial report with that of last year, it will be seen that the cost of fuel


20


alone for the present season has been over a thousand dol- lars more than for the previous year. This fact requires no apology and no explanation. An increase in the salaries of many teachers was also absolutely necessary, as in some instances, they were receiving scarcely sufficient for actual living expenses. It is now next to impossible for a teacher to secure board in Brunswick in a private family, while hotels and restaurants are almost prohibitive to the teacher who is receiving a small salary.


There are no indications that there will be any immediate relief from these unusual conditions during the coming year. This must be taken into consideration in estimating appropriations. From an examination of this report it is evident that school appropriations can not be reduced without seriously crippling the system. It also seems evi- dent that, with the present price of wood and coal, more money must be raised for common schools or there will be a deficit in the accounts of next year.


The Superintendent wishes again to express his appreci- ation of the cordial support given him by the members of the school committee, and by the teachers in his efforts to deal wisely with the many perplexing problems which fre- quently occur in school administration.


Respectfully submitted,


JOHN A. CONE,


Superintendent of Schools.
