REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
To the Superintending School Committee of Belgrade :
In accordance with the provisions of the school law I herewith submit to you, and to the citizens of Belgrade, my annual report for the town year 1917-18.
The school census of April 1, 1917, showed 298 persons between the ages of 5 and 21 years. There were enrolled in the schools during the year 269 pupils, 228 in the common schools and 41 in the High school.
HIGH SCHOOL
The examination for the High school, held last June, was taken by 14 ninth grade and 6 eighth grade pupils; 12 of the ninth grade pupils were passed. Four tuition pupils were also admitted to High school on certificates from other towns. This is the largest entering class we have had for several years.
The High school has been in charge of the same teachers for almost four years and it is to be hoped that the class which graduates next June will be able to complete their work under the same teachers they began with four years ago.
The work of the school is progressing in a satisfactory man- ner. The interest in High school, on the part of common school pupils, is growing and the interest in higher education, on the part of the High school pupils, shows a gratifying increase. The stand- ard of the school, on the whole, will compare favorably with other schools of the same type in the State.
In one respect, however, we have been somewhat deficient in past years. Public speaking has always been considered an important feature of High school work, but we have never been able to get our pupils interested in it until recently when the Freshman class broke the ice and held a public speaking contest a few weeks ago. As it was the first entertainment of the kind and a new idea to our people, however, it did not receive the support which it merited, but
28
the members of the Freshman class have the satisfaction of knowing that to them has fallen the honor of putting Belgrade High school " on the map" in the matter of public speaking, and we have no doubt they will be able to keep it there.
COMMON SCHOOLS
With the exception of the Whittier school, which lost four weeks of the spring term on account of measles, we have had from 31 to 33 weeks of school. The winter terms of the Lowell and the Whit- tier schools were somewhat broken up on account of measles but the terms were extended to make up the lost time. The attendance at the Franklin school was badly shattered during the fall term on account of measles and the fear of smallpox.
The winter terms of both schools at the Lakes were extended several weeks as we will be obliged to have a short spring term to close by May 15, at which time our lease on the grammar room ex- pires.
Several schools have been in charge of the same teachers for the full year and most of the others have had the same teachers for both terms of the present school year. With one or two exceptions the teachers have all had previous experience.
This has been a very hard year in the operation of our schools. Increased costs, the difficulty of getting supplies, the increasing scarcity of teachers, the epidemics of sickness throughout the year and the unparalleled severity of the winter have all contributed toward interfering with successful school work. In spite of these handicaps, however, the schools have made good progress and the work of the pupils, in the aggregate, shows steady improvement.
The eye and ear test was given, as usual, during the year. We must continue to urge upon parents the importance of this matter. When a simple schoolroom test shows defective sight or hearing, it should have immediate medical attention.
Repairs for the year include painting the Mckinley and Lincoln schools, building an extension to the woodshed of the Depot school and building a new toilet to connect with the schoolroom. The pupils of that school now have a clean toilet with facilities for a reasonable privacy in its use and under the constant supervision of the teacher. It is to be hoped that the pupils of the other schools in the town will soon be able to enjoy the same blessing.
At the last regular town meeting the sum of $600.00 was appro-
-

29
priated to build another schoolroom at the Lakes. When we came to get bids for the work it was found that, owing to the advanced prices, it would cost considerable more than the original estimate. A special town meeting was then called to explain this situation and to secure further instructions. At this meeting representatives of the Belgrade Hotel Co. presented a request that further action be deferred until the next regular town meeting, at which time they would pre- sent a proposition to the town with a view to the removal of the pres- ent school building to another location. The town then voted to defer action on the matter of building until the next regular town meeting and authorized the school committee to rent a room for school pur- poses. A room was rented from Mr. A. A. Fairbanks and, in spite of the severe winter, the children have been quite comfortable therein. Owing to the present high cost of building and the un- settled conditions generally, we would recommend that this arrange- ment be continued for the present at least.
An appropriation of $100.00 was also made a year ago to provide a play ground for the Washington school. As the ground adjacent to the schoolhouse could not be bought, however, and the one other suitable location is not for sale at present, it would seem that the matter will have to rest there for the present.
APPROPRIATIONS
Your school committee has recommended the following appro- priations for next year, viz :
Common schools
$1,950 00
High school
1,050 00
Text-books and supplies for common and High schools 375 00
Repairs 350 00
High school reference library 50 00
Medical inspection 25 00
This totals practically the same as last year's appropriations but the items are apportioned differently.
The common school appropriation is larger than last year as our expenses are bound to be very much higher. Our balance to carry forward is $125.00 less than last year; our wood will cost $200.00 more than last year; only one-half year's operation of the grammar room at the Lakes is included in this year's expenses, whereas next year will show a full year's operation, which will add $200.00 more. But the greatest item of increase will be teachers' wages. When it
30
comes to the question of teachers' wages no man can tell definitely just what we are up against, but it is going to be a serious matter. We are facing the greatest shortage of teachers the State has ever known and the results will be the same as in every other class of help -- a big advance in wages. This will be especially true in the case of experienced teachers and that is the kind we are obliged to have in the majority of our schools. If we should be obliged to make an average increase of only $1.00 a week it would add $350.00 a year to our expenses. By adding these several items of increase to last year's appropriation we have a total of $2,225.00 required for this year. We have asked for only $1,950.00, however, hoping that luck may favor us somewhere and enable us to pull through with that amount.
Our High school account is about $60.00 overdrawn. Deduct- ing this amount from the $1,050.00 asked for would leave us very little more than our expenses last year.
In the matter of text-books and supplies for common and High schools the $375.00 asked for this year will buy us even less than the $300.00 appropriated last year.
Our repairs account is about $60.00 overdrawn. After this is deducted from the $350.00 asked for it will leave us about the same as last year's appropriation.
For High school reference library we have asked for $25.00 less than last year.
No appropriation has been requested for superintendent's salary as the State Department of Education has suggested that this item be included in the town charges account.
We have asked for an appropriation of $25.00 for medical inspec- tion. This will constitute a sort of a health insurance for all the children. It will enable us to have a sanitary inspection of the general condition of all the schools and a personal medical inspection of each child in the schools at least once a year. It will also protect the general health of the children by placing a school physician at the service of the teacher in case a pupil shows symptoms of some contagious disease and the occasion requires an immediate medical inspection to safeguard the health of the other children in the school. This plan has been in use for several years in an adjoining town and has given excellent results.
In conclusion I desire to thank the residents of Belgrade for the courtesies extended to me during my four years of work in your schools.
Respectfully submitted,
T. W. McQUAIDE, Superintendent of Schools.
