.


The schools for the past year have on the whole been fairly prosperous. The schools have been short, owing to the limited amount of money we had for school purposes.


Teachers who have earned a place in the first rank by faithful work in the schools in town, and those who have a well established reputation, have been employed whenever it has been possible to secure their services. Some of them we have retained the whole year. We think the longer such teachers are retained, the more valuable their services become.

22


Good health has prevailed quite generally in our schools, one school only being interrupted, and that the North school by scarlet fever, which caused the closing of the fall session three weeks before the end of term.


We regret to say that during the past year, as in former years, there has been a lack of interest in some of our schools on the part of parents. To have good schools requires not only good teachers, but the hearty co-operation of parents with the teachers. We should not expect a greater degree of perfection in teachers than in many other classes of people. Generally, parents. get many ideas of the school from the children. As a rule, children are not competent to judge of the merits or demerits of a teacher and school.


It was thought advisable at the commencement of the school year just passed, on account of the small number of scholars in District No. 4, to consolidate this school with District No. 2. This was done at some dollars less expense than to have had the expense of the extra teacher. The matter of transportation in this, our first case, was attended by some difficulty, and the school in the fall was reopened.


In some sister towns arrangements have been, and are constantly being made, for transporting school children, where the schools are small, to central points. We, in this town, can do the same, when proper accommodations can be secured, with possibly a saving in money, and a benefit to the pupils.


There is nothing in the rural school itself which makes it essen- tially difficult to organize for effective elementary work. If any- thing, the advantage educationally is on the side of the rural school. Country life is confessedly better suited to the development of healthy and vigorous mentality in children than city life. The difficulties of the problem lie outside the school.


The troubles of the school board commonly arise over the dis- continuance of some school or schools. Three classes of parents are likely to be involved in nearly every troublesome case.


First, are those who wish the school retained where it is, no mat- ter if there are but two pupils, and one of these acts a teacher to the other.

Second, are those parents living at a distance, whose children must evidently be carried, and who are prone to take advantage of the fact to extort a round sum from the School Board for car- rying them.


Third, are those who live near enough to a school house to walk, but who insist on either compensation or carriage, because others get it. If a competent man and suitable vehicle are en- gaged there is commonly little trouble. Some districts use roomy and comfortable barges, in charge of reliable men, and in this way two or more schools may often be conveyed to a third in comfort and safety.


An article regarding Professional Supervision of Schools is in- serted in District Warrant.


Affixed to this report is the List of Supervisory Districts in order of establishment under law ot 1899. Also towns which have voted for supervision, but not organized districts.


A few words in regard to professional supervision. The School Board is expected to perform duties for which it is in the nature of things incompetent, which are beyond the essential scope of the function of government, and consequently the duties are either neglected or attempted with mischievous results. Such duties, which are technical in their scope, for their right performance require the professional rather than the amateur.


What is an expert Superintendent of Schools? Simply a man educated and trained to be a teacher, partly by study and partly by successful experience, who makes the oversight of schools his life-work, who has no other business interests, a practical foreman of teachers. The district is not bound to employ a Superinten- dent for more than a year or until the expiration of his contract, if the people are dissatisfied after trial.


I recommend that the people act wisely in reference to school supervision. Do not vote to indefinitely postpone an article you must realize will be a benefit to the school system of Fremont.


There should be a hearty co-operative spirit manifested in a school unit. Only when such relations exist can the best system of schools be maintained.


Respectfully submitted,


JAMES B. MARTIN,


Superintendent of Schools.
