Report of the Superintendent of Schools


TO THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE OF HARTFORD:


In accordance with the law of the state I submit this report: The school, as well as the home, must attend to the creation of right bab- its and by suggestion, advice and example, not only try to form right habits, but to drive out the wrong and substitute the right.


The finest product of the school is the person who has profited most by his acquisition of useful knowledge and in his ability to form correct judgments.


Our schools have, during the winter term. been badly broken by sickness. The Whiting and Center schools closing early on account of mumps and measles.


In nearly all cases, Hartford has been given a loyal, intelligent service by her teachers. I regret that I cannot pronounce all of the terms successful ones. In a few cases inexperience and poor judge- ment hindered the best service.


Your Superintendent is of the opinion that ability and long service should be recognized by a place on the salary schedule, in keeping with the service rendered.


OUR HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS.


The interest of the Hartford parents in the higher education of their children is shown by the attendance of ten pupils in the Buck- field High School. Nearly all of our boys and girls have excellent records for scholarship and deportment. The splendid showing made by these children tell the story of a good home training and of the ambition of the pupils.


20


ANNUAL TOWN REPORT


REPAIR8.


With two exceptions our school property is in good repair. The building in the Town Farm District needs painting, and a new wood- shed with closets should be built before another term of school is opened. The Whiting School House needs shingling, and inside re- pairs. I desire to call the attention of the Committee to the fact that the children of this school have no play-ground. I feel that every school, no matter how small, should have a playground, and the children taught to respect the property rights of others. It is, however, contrary to the law of child nature to refrain from play be- cause for some reason, some of their forefathers neglected to buy a school lot. I desire to recommend the purchase of at least one-balf acre near the school buildings for a playground.


CONVEY ANCE.


I think the decision of the Committee to furnish conveyance only during the winter months a wise one.


A town of Hartford's resources needs every dollar to secure better teachers, and to bring the length of the school year to a thirty-two week standard.


I wish to explain the item of D. J. Chamberlain's conveyance charge. As you are aware Mr. Chamberlain's former home was some distance from the school and in the year 1912 and 13 the town paid him one hundred thirty-five dollars for conveyance. £


The school committee arranged with him to move nearer the school- house for a consideration of fifty dollars, this transaction saved the town eighty-five dollars on this conveyance route.


REPORT TO THE UNION DISTRICT.


In taking up the work of another man in the middle of the year, I have tried to keep all the good things of our school system and increase the power and efficiency of the work from term to term.


I desire to call the attention of the several committees to three sources of waste or weakness in our school system :


First, the attempt to carry on the work without a definite plan, involving a great waste of the pupil's time in repeating subject mat- ter with each change of teacher, snd the omission of many impor- tant subjects by young or poorly prepared teachers.


21


ANNUAL TOWN REPORT


Second, the lack of globes, maps and reference books has for years been a hindrance to successful work.


Third, the absence of an active progressive interest in our school work has in some sections resulted in an indifference that must be met by a live public spirit.


It has been the privilege of your superintendent to compile, after consultations with his teachers and reference to some progressive courses of study now in use in different towns of New England, a course of study for the Elementary Schools of this Union District. This course has been printed and placed in the hands of our teach- ers.


We have a modern, up-to-date courss of study, suggestive and strong enough to keep our schools busy for a number of years to meet all of its requirements.


The work of each year in each subject is clearly outlined and set forth.


Our teachers deserve great credit for the loyal, tactful manner with which they accepted the change and adjusted their work to meet the demands of the new outline.


Our schools are fairly well equipped with text books and with three exceptions in Buckfield and one in Hartford have globes.


In nearly all of our schools we need more black-boards, wall maps and reference books. Imagine the crude attempts to teach geog- raphy and history for many years in some of our oldest schools without these aids.


This year we have organized a Parent Teacher Association in Buckfield and the Granges of Hebron and North Buckfield bave ta- ken a fine interest in the schools and manifested a desire to encour- age school work in many ways.


We trust that even a wider degree of interest will be shown next year.


I wish to urge the several towns of this Union District to increase the length of the school year to thirty-two weeks.


We must send the country boy and girl into the active life work to compete with the village boy and girl, who usually have the advan- tage of better teachers and superior school-room equipments. It is thought by the educational leaders that the city child needs from thirty-six to forty weeks per year.


22


ANNUAL TOWN REPORT


Why not give the country child every advantage that we can af- ford?


Teacher's meetings bave been held in each town to discuss the Course of Study and a Union District meeting was beld, with the teachers of Summer as invited guests, Jan. 9, 1914.


I wish to express my gratitude for kindness sbowo to me and mine by many citizens of the District, to acknowledge the help and many courtesies extended to me by your former Superintendent, Mr Sturte- vant, to thank the members of the several committees for advice, support and encouragement.


Respectfully submitted,


FLORENT WHITMORE, Superintendent.
