IN MEMORIAM


The entire school department, pupils, teachers, and administration, felt a great loss in the sudden passing in December, 1932, of Miss Cora B. Goodwin, teacher in the first grade at the West Side School.


Hers was such a spirit of loyal cooperation that School Boards and Superintendents have invariably found her willing and eager to render every assistance within her power.


Miss Goodwin was not of the kind that make a great show; her qualities were of the quiet sort of which people are not conscious because they do not attract attention. Such have greater influence for good. People like her exert a contagion which, like our phys- ical senses, we do not appreciate fully until they are taken from us; then, we know.


Her passing is our loss. But we have the greater gain of her service and her life.

Derry, N. H., July 10, 1932


I have this day examined the books of the Treas- urer of the Derry Town School District and find them correct with a balance on hand of one hundred fifty- one dollars and fifty-one cents (151.51) and eleven orders outstanding amounting to six thousand four hundred fifty-five dollars and ninety two cents.


W. J. KINGSBURY,


Auditor of Derry Town School District


SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT


To the School Board of Derry:


The following report covers the school year from July 1, 1931 to June 30, 1932 and gives a very close estimate of the finances of the current year which will end June 30, 1933.


FINANCES: The three-column summary shows the major subdivisions and totals of payments and re- ceipts for these two years and in addition gives the budget for the next school year. Column I as its heading indicates gives the actual payments and re- ceipts of last year: Column II shows the estimated items for the current year which will end June 30. 1933: Column III is the budget for next year (July 1, 1933 to June 30, 1934). This last is the basis for the appropriation to be asked for at the forth-coming school meeting.


SUMMARY: The following condensed summary is provided so that those who are interested may com- pare past, present, and proposed expenditures for schools.


12


Actual Payments last year (ending June 30, 1932) $79,823.64


Probable Payments current year,


(ending June 30, 1933) 65,455.33


Amount of reduction of payments this year $14,368.31


The budget calls for expenditures next year of :- $64,655.33


Probable income from Miscellaneous Sources 9,318.18


Least possible tax levy to balance the budget $55,337.15


It is unwise to assume that emergencies cannot arise and its is equally unwise not to provide for a small balance of cash-on-hand at the end of the school year 1933-1934, it is for these reasons that I suggest that a tax levy of $60,000.00 be asked for.


REDUCTION OF EXPENSES. The savings of this year have come from various sources: Teachers salar- ies were reduced 10%, the Excess salary of the Sup- erintendent 56%, Salaries of District Officers 36%, Janitor's salaries were not reduced. But by far the greater part of the reduction of almost $15,000.00, is due to the application of the most elementary prin- ciples of common everyday business management; such as buying at bottom prices, eliminating all non- essentials, reduction of the number of school rooms used, close supervision of the distribution of supplies, in a word, from reducing the out-go as low as possible without decreasing the efficiency of the schools. In this work I have had the most generous support of janitors, teachers and pupils, as well as the constant


13


advise and support of the School Board.


The cost of almost every item of out-go has been carefully considered; fuel, transportation, tuition, books, supplies, office administration, teacher's sub- stitutes, upkeep of buildings etc., have been reduced; but in my opinion in no single one or in all combined, has the curtailment reduced the educational efficiency of the schools in the slightest degree. However, to guard against self-deception I have had state and federal inspection of the class room work from the first grade to the eighth: From verbal reports of these inspectors, I am convinced that the teachers with a: few exceptions, are dilligently and enthusiastically working in approved ways and are securing a very sat- isfactory type of response from the pupils.


Of my own personal knowledge I am certain that the quality of the work throughout the local school system is high but, I am equally certain that it can, be made better, and this without additional expense.


A perfect school has never yet been discovered therefore there is always a possibility of improvement.


The number of teachers employed has been sub- stantially reduced but even so, the number of pupils per teacher after the readjustment is only 37 in the graded schools and 16 in the rural schools: If we com- bine the two groups the average enrollment is only 32.


These facts and figures are a sufficient answer to the criticism occasionally heard, that rooms are over crowded and teachers overloaded. The largest enroll- ment in any room is 51 ;- and this room is one of the three most efficient schools in this Supervisory dist- rict.


If our school buildings were better located and ar- ranged the 670 pupils now taught by 18 teachers could, be equally well served by 16 teachers in which case the


14


average enrollment would be only 42 per room.


There is one disappointing and unexpected devel- opment which, in itself, would seem to discourage further efforts in the line of economy, it is this,-as a direct result of reducing the number of teachers employed to a reasonable relation to the total enroll- ment, Derry has lost about $2,000.00 of State Aid, however, this is not a serious matter for in losing the $2000.00 the town has to its relief an offsetting re-, duction of expenditures amounting to nearly $15,000.00.


There are a number of ways in which further economies may be accomplished, now that the elusive hope of state aid is definitely eliminated.


PINKERTON ACADEMY. My supervisory duties with respect to the High School work, which is carried on at Pinkerton, are regulated by a contract which, in itself, limits my opportunity to be useful but, under a liberal interpretation of that contract and by the very cordial relations between Principal Bell, the teaching staff and myself, there has been established a working plan whereby the grade schools and the Academy are in complete harmony, each successfully adjusting itself to the other.


The chief defect in Derry's educational program, however, is in a lack of opportunity for boys who are skillful in handwork, to continue the Manual Training of the Oak St. School, in a Mechanic Arts course in High School. Plans are now in progress to remedy this defect.

Derry Village District No. 2.


The plan, adopted several years ago, whereby the 7th and 8th grades in Derry Village have been sent to the Oak Street School has been continued the current year. It is a worthy plan and certainly, from an educational point of view, ought to be continued.


The advantages which these pupils gain from the Domestic Arts and Manual Training courses are of sufficient importance to more than justify the small increase in cost.


If the plans that are maturing for developing a Mechanic Arts course materialize the Manual Train- ing now received in the grades will become a necessary preparation for enrollment in the advanced courses in Cabinet work, pattern-making, forging and Machine Shop practice. If these courses are made available to the students it will open new opportunities for those who desire to enter institutions of Collegiate grade, but whose tastes, talents and inclinations do not tend toward Liberal Arts courses. 1


There has been in the past and will be in the future a constant demand for men with technical training and these will in the long run be found among those who by nature and training have acquired skill in hand-work as well as head-work.


I hope the present plan will be continued so that there may be no break in the continuity of Manual Training and Domestic Arts courses for Derry Village boys and girls.


Respectfully submitted,


GEORGE H. WHITCHER,


Superintendent of Schools.

REPORT OF SCHOOL NURSE


Mr. George H. Whitcher Superintendent of Schools


Derry, N. H.


Dear Sir:


In addition to the outline, I would say that milk is, being served in the town schools during the months of January, February and March, this is sponsored by the Derry Woman's Club, hot lunches in the rural schools are served these months also.


With the help of the cooking classes in the Junior High School, food in the form of soups, and escalloped dishes, have been given to thirteen families, which in- cluded seventy-nine children and twenty-nine adults.


This food and milk in the school, is a great help, during this time where the wages have been reduced to a very small amount or perhaps no money at all coming into the house.


Through different clubs and the sewing-class at. Pinkerton Academy, dresses have been given to, children, 100 pairs of mittens, were made and given. out.


We have had donations for glasses, shoes, rubbers also for tonsil operation.


Respectfully submitted,


LILLIAN S. MACKINTOSH,


School Nurse.
