If another schoolroom was provided the school could be divided into a primary room and a grammar room, each room being in charge of a teacher especially fitted for that particular work and with a reasonable amount of time to devote to each grade. About one-fourth of the pupils who attend this school come from Rome, consequently that town would pay about one-fourth of the cost of operating both rooms.
Attention is also called to the article in the warrant asking for an appropriation to install the Kaustine chemical closets at the High school. Several of these closets are now in use in Belgrade and they have demonstrated their value. They should be installed in all schools located in villages or in thickly settled districts where the ordinary school vault is a source of danger and a pest to the community.
In the matter of repairs it seems impossible to estimate accu- rately our requirements for a year in advance. One can never tell what a repair job is going to cost until the job is finished. Necessities arise from time to time which could not be foreseen.
31
The enormous advance in prices, which occurred last year after our estimates had been made, prevented our doing all the repair work we had expected to do and necessitated overdrawing the account a little to complete the work already laid out. Next year it will be necessary to paint the Mckinley school and the Lowell school. The wood shed at the Depot school should be enlarged to provide more wood room and to furnish decent toilet facilities for the girls. The Washington school yard should be drained ; it is a regular mud-hole now. It will re- quire an appropriation of $300.00 to make up the overdraft of last year, provide for the minor repairs which are necessary from time to time and do the special work outlined above.
The high cost of living, which has been agitating the public mind all over the country, has begun to make itself felt in our school expenses. So far, however, the increases have been confined principally to text-books, supplies and repairs. School supplies of all kinds are very much higher. Paper costs about three times as much as a year ago. Text-books and all sup- plies have advanced and will be higher still before the year is over. We have made no increase in this appropriation, how- ever, as we hope to be able to get along with enough less to offset the increased cost. We must expect, however, that every department of school expense will feel the effect of increased costs during the coming year. The advance in prices has been so general and so wide-spread that the air is full of the germs of it; it has become a disease and no phase of human existence can hope to remain exempt from it. These conditions should be taken into consideration in making our appropriations for next year.
In conclusion I wish to thank the citizens of Belgrade for the spirit of co-operation and courtesy which has been extended to me in my business and social relations with you.
Respectfully submitted,
T. W. McQUAIDE, Superintendent of Schools.
