Superintendent of Schools' Report
To the School Committee of Hartford:
I wish at this time to thank you and the people of Hartford for the many kindnesses, as well as the hearty spirit of cooperation, shown me during my work as superintendent of your schools.
We are facing a serious situation in the employment of experienced and trained teachers, and it is only by the greatest good fortune that we have been able to secure enough teachers to fill our schools for the salaries offered. When I remind you of the fact that unskilled labor in the woods is receiving even more than four dollars per day, while some of our teachers are receiving eight dollars per week and paying out half of that for board, I am sure that the ridiculousness of the situation is apparent without more words.
Furthermore, I feel that we are trying to maintain too many schools for the number of children attending, and would recommend the careful consideration of plans for combining schools so that we may have one teacher for each twenty or twenty-five pupils. Under this plan we would meet at once the problem of conveyance, and the many objections to having children carried any great distance to school, es pecially in the winter. This problem is now being solved in many places by having two terms in each year of fifteen weeks each-fifteen weeks before Christmas and fifteen weeks before the first of July. Under this plan it is evident that we should be able to secure and hold experienced teachers and to pay them a just salary without an exces- sive increase in our town appropriation.
Following is the financial statement for the fiscal year just ended.
Respectfully submitted,
CHESTER C. TUTTLE, Superintendent.
Hartford, Maine, Feb. 8, 1919.
