SCHOOL REPORT.
To the School Committee and Citizens of Falmouth :-
In accordance with your custom the following report is respct- fully submitted.
TEACHERS.
During the past year twelve teachers have been employed. There have been but few changes in our corps of teachers.
The teachers have been loyal and have given us their best ef- fort. Never in the history of the public schools of Maine, have teachers of experience and qualifications been so difficult to pro- cure as during the past year.
Teachers have become better acquainted in their respective com- munities thereby gaining the support of those directly interested in our public schools.
Very little criticism is heard. It was found necessary in order to retain some of our teachers to give a small increase in salary. Last year the average salary was $7.97 per week. At the close of the winter term of the year just past the average salary was $8.25 per week. Some of the teachers have experienced difficulties in obtaining boarding places as few families in our community care to take a boarder. I think I am right in saying that our teachers rank among the best in the state.
TEACHERS' MEETINGS.
To keep a system of schools in a progressive condition, and to keep them from settling into mere routine work requires profess- ional study and enthusiasm and an awakening of the sentiment that self improvement is a necessity. The teachers should keep themselves mentally fresh, interested and in touch with educa- tional thought and progress.
35
Then, too, it is well for any band of workers to stop and take account of stock, to render an account and to make such observa- tions as will enable them to determine exactly where they are and why they are there. To this end teachers meetings, open to the public, have been held. Special efforts have been made this year to aid the teachers in the more general adoption of the more ap- proved method of modern times and in the application of these methods with skill and efficiency. The public as well as teachers has taken an active interest in these meetings and I have done all in my power to lay plans and set up ideals of achievement that should be worthy of their best efforts.
ATTENDANCE.
During the past year we have been free from measles, mumps and other contagious diseases thus making the attendance regular and punctual. This has been a great help in the efficiency of the pupils.
UNITY.
One of the most difficult problems encountered during the year has been how to overcome the vast difference in the efficiency of the schools. I believe it is possible with close supervision and proper teaching to get just as good results from rural schools as can be gotten from the village schools. By frequent visits, care- ful attention to details and the hearty co-operation of teachers, I have been able to bring about a unity of our school system that is far ahead of my expectations.
Teachers have responded loyally to every suggestion. Schools formerly reported as indolent, restless, lacking interest etc ; are now doing good work. Pupils answer questions in full statements. The rising inflection that has been much in evidence is almost whol- ly a thing of the past. The boys and girls stand erect, sit properly and always rise when called upon to recite. The aim of each school is to develop morally, physically and intellectually.
Instruction is given along the lines of temperance, effects of alcoholic drinks and narcotics upon the human system. Corporal punishment has been employed only as a last resort. By my system of reports from teachers to superintendent, and in frequent visits to the schools, I have been enabled to keep in touch with the most minute detail of the school work.
At the close of the spring term there was a general meet-
36
ing at the town house of pupils, teachers and friends. A pro- gram of literary exercises was carried out. An enjoyable as well as a profitable day was passed. During the fall term the meeting for teachers only, was held at Yarmouth. At this meeting the teachers of Falmouth were given an opportunity to view the work of other teachers. During the winter term the teachers' meeting was held at the town house. At this meeting there was a large attendance. All the teaching exercises were given by the teach- ers of Falmouth. The exercises showed the work of the Fal- mouth schools. The State Superintendent and several other leading educators of the State were present. Exhibitions of the written work 'of the various schools were shown.
TUITION PUPILS.
During the present year I have certificated three pupils for high school work. I am a firm believer in higher education yet I do not think that pupils should be promoted to the high school until they are properly qualified to do high school work. I have person- ally visited each high school, seminary and institute at which pupils from Falmouth were in attendance. I found that all, with possibly two exceptions, are doing good work. During the com- ing year the number of pupils promoted to high schools will about equal the number that will have completed the high school courses.
SCHOOL BUILDINGS.
Nearly all the buildings are in good condition. Extensive re- pairs were made on No. 1. The ceiling was in such a condition that it was necessary to expend more than the committee had es- timated. The out-buildings of many of the school houses need attention. When the out-buildings are connected with the main building similar to those at No. 9, we find very little trouble in keeping them in good condition. Each building was cleaned and fumigated before the opening of the fall term. The building at No. 5, needs shingling. The walls need attention. New black- boards will be absolutely necessary. We need some seats and desks suitable for small children especially at No. 1 .. The out- buildings at No. 7, need renovation. The same can be said of No. 3.
TEXT BOOKS.
Strict economy has been practiced in the general school supplies.
37
New grammars were purchased and each school has been supplied with enough for present needs. During the coming year we shall need to purchase readers as the supply is exhausted.
IN GENERAL.
I suggest that we increase the number of weeks in the school year. Our neighboring towns are having from thirty-three to thir- ty-six weeks. The annual taxation cost for each pupil enrolled in our schools for the past year is $7.04. The annual taxation cost for each pupil in the state is about $15. It thus being evident that we are far from being extravagant in school expenditures.
In closing I wish to thank the teachers, pupils and people for their hearty co-operation and kind words of encouragement.
