School Report.


TO THE CITIZENS OF NORTH HAMPTON :


With the close of another year it becomes our duty to report the condition of our schools. It has been in our judgment a prosper- ous year. It has been our aim to do everything possible to im- prove and advance the interest of our schools. We are hoping to make more improvements during the coming year. Improve- ments are in order in every walk of life. We are advancing to a higher elevation in everything, and the world will demand more of us each year. For this reason we are obliged to give our children a more liberal, broader, and higher education. We have a country, a state, and town in which every citizen may justly take much pride. Probably the most important factor that has brought us to our high state of civilization is our public school system, and a compulsory education. If we are to keep in the front rank and lead the world, education must be fostered and advanced as never before. Some countries have made the mistake of educating the classes. We have corrected the error by making it our policy to educate the masses. In final analyses the secret lies in making the individual right, for when each individual is right, then the nation and civilization are right. The beauty of the present era is the fact that each year more attention is paid to educational matters. We shall continue our posterity under the influence of this mighty power.


During the past year we have exchanged some of our old books for new and up to date editions. We have introduced Milnes' New and Practical Arithmetic, Brooks' Readers, a new Language Book, Steps in English, and Bradbury's Sight Arithmetic. New Webster's Dictionaries have been purchased for Centre and East schools.


We have made no changes in our teachers during the past year. The Centre Grammar School has been fortunate in being again un- der the instruction of Miss Nettie E. Campbell, who has had mark- ed success in this school in the three and a half years she has been here. She has worked faithfully for the advancement of her pupils.


Miss Octavia Cousens has been very successful in teaching the Centre primary school. Her work is excellent. You can get the.

best idea of her true value as a teacher by visiting the school. The progress and behavior of her pupils testify to her faithfulness and efficiency. Miss Anna Northcott, teacher of the East school, who has been with us the past year, is doing excellent work. She is much loved and respected by her pupils. The school is making good progress under her direction.


The study of music in our schools has continued under the able direction of Mr. Carl L. Akeley. We have been very fortunate in being able to retain him as our instructor. We are of the opinion that his equal does not exist in this state as a teacher of music for public schools. The study of music in our schools is one of great importance and must be continued. It develops the mind, im- proves the character and brings out a musical talent which other- wise might have remained dormant for life.


The average attendance has been lower than last year, caused partly by the whooping cough, which was prevalent during the fall at Centre schools. Parents should make an effort to have their children attend as regularly as possible. Each class advances a step each day, and a day lost is hard to make up.


The State Superintendent is urging on us the importance of form- ing a district with some other town or towns, and hiring a superin- tendent who shall have charge of our schools. Nineteen supervis- ory districts have been formed in the State since the law was placed on the statute books in 1899. When two or more towns vote to unite for the purpose of employing a superintendent, the State will pay one-half his salary.


The number of pupils registered in each school is: Center Grammar, 21 ; Center Primary, 27 ; East School, 25 ; making all who attend school in town, 73. Number of boys, 36 ; girls, 37.


Of those who attend school elsewhere, and whose tuition is paid by the town, there are at Hampton High School the following :
