School Report
To L. N. Ellingwood, E. H. Tibbetts, Cecil Jewett, Superin- tending School Committee of the Town of Athens.
Gentlemen :--
I herewith submit to you the following report of the school work in your town for the year February 1913-February 1914. The year has been a prosperous one for the schools for the most part, as is the usual case there are a few things that might have been done better, probably. Teachers, school of- ficials, and parents have worked together with very little friction.
The town has maintained ten schools for the year, a record which I think can not be beaten in the State; of course the more schools the more cost, hence a shorter school year. Your teachers have co-operated very nicely and have responded to suggestions for professional betterment with willingness and interest. Our summer school in August at Solon proved to be a profitable experiment and one which I recommend be tried further.
General interest in the work has been good. I have recom- mended that the teachers supervise the play at recess and noon time, and in the rural schools that they take the noon lunch in charge. In accordance with resolutions adopted at the Su- perintendents' State Conference last July in Castine I offered a small incentive to encourage the teachers to work up community interest in helping to serve warm drink at noon for the children during the cold months of the year. This was tried with success in the Eaton and Garfield schools. The supervision of play in the Eaton and Stetson schools is very worthy of mention.
The course of study in the common schools is practically the same as last year, think we will not take the space to re- print it, but will refer you to the 1913 report. The course of study for your high school pupils in Somerset Academy meets the approval of State High School Inspector and is as follows:

The Academy needs the encouragement and support of every citizen, it has been a very valuable institution to the town and is struggling now to keep up its efficiency. The trustees are providing good scientific equipment and the town provides text books. A school spirit among the students I believe will be augmented this year by being brought into touch with neighbor- ing high schools in intellectual and physical contests. If boys and girls can be found to keep up an average attendance above thirty I see no reason why the school should not do good work of secondary grade.
At the village school house a new out-building and store house for school property is very much needed. The means of lighting the Primary room are as bad as is possible; I hope that something can be done soon to help the matter, preferably that the school should grow enough to necessitate a new building; last term both rooms were over-crowded.
No teacher and pupils should be asked to stay in the Franklin schoolhouse another winter term of school, the shed and out-building there is good but the house is disreputable.
.
19
The shed and out-building at the Foss school must be reno- vated early in the spring. I wonder at parents allowing it to remain as it is so long. The interior of the school house needs some minor repairs. A new stove was placed there this year.
The Stetson school house will need some work done around its underpinning, the sooner the better. Would be well to have the house painted also. Think it would be good enconomy for the town to repaint its school houses at the rate of one or two each year.
At the Eaton school a new shed has been built by the town and the inside of the school house papered, white-washed and made more attractive through the efforts of teacher and com- munity. We are very pleased to express our appreciation to Beckwith and Taylor for the privilege to enlarge the play ground here, the children have been forced into the highway to play in the past.
The town of Hartland seems to think Athens is not doing quite its part in maintaining the school at Corson's Corner; ex- pense of the school there for the year 1913-14 has been $300.00, your town has provided school building and paid to the town of Hartland in way of tuition $78.00. The school house is badly out of repair and one half of the pupils come from the town of Athens. Hartland's proposition is that the two towns share the expenses of the school for the coming year.
The work of your truant officer, Mr. Hall, has been very satisfactory, hope he may serve in same capacity another year.

I would recommend that same amounts for common schools and high school be raised as last year, if the parents are satis- fied with the short common school year. If they are not satis- fied and want a longer school year for the children the increase of appropriation can be based on the fact that each week ad- ditional to the twenty-seven will mean an approximate cost of $100.00.
For repairs I should think $200.00 would be needed and the same for text books and supplies.
Respectfully submitted,
GUY F. WILLIAMS,
Superintendent of Schools.
