ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SUPERIN- TENDENT OF SCHOOLS.
To the School Board and Citizens of Alton:
I herewith submit to you my third annual report as superintendent of your public schools.
MEMBERSHIP.
0
Our total average membership for the school year end- ing July, 1909, was 175, an increase of three percent. over that of the preceding year. Our tardiness decreased twelve percent. for the same time. A comparison of the year's records is given in Appendix 5.
Following is the average membership at the four buildings for the fall term 1909, with increase or decrease for the year. The village membership includes the school formerly in the block, also pupils transported from Clough district and West Alton.

ATTENDANCE.
A steady improvement in attendance has been made, due in part no doubt to favorable weather, but mainly to more wholesome school conditions, persistent effort of teachers, and a greater interest among the pupils. Few absences have been reported not due to illness or other excusable
34
causes. Following is a comparison of attendance records for the fall terms 1907, 1908 and 1909:

Our tardiness is still abnormal. Cases repeatedly occur with no sufficient reason. Carelessness of parent or pupil is usually responsible. But we are improving. 427 cases were reported for the fall term 1908; 111 cases for the corresponding tern in 1909.
It is vitally important that a pupil be "on time." To be late means a loss. The dav's work is impaired, a pernicious habit formed and personal responsibility weakened. Few cases of tardiness are really excusable. I would urge upon parents the importance of this matter of punctuality. It is necessary to good school work and most essential in the character building of their children.
CONSOLIDATION.
The schools at Clough district and West Alton have been closed, the former in May, the latter at the end of the spring term in June. Both had become reduced to such proportions that it seemed unwise to continue them longer. Each would have enrolled but three pupils had they been opened in September.
The pupils are now transported to the village, and in each case after proper time for adjustment have entered heartily into the work of the grades previously followed. The better facilities of the graded school are attractive, the
35
longer terms, the better graded course of study, the ad- vantage of music, and the broader training that comes from the more varied activities. Parents and pupils accustomed to the small district school soon observe the difference and rarely favor a return.
STANDARD OF PROMOTION.
Heretofore pupils have been promoted from grade to grade on an average rank of 60 percent. Work from 60 percent. to 70 percent. has been designated P, poor but acceptable. At the beginning of the present school year this passing mark was raised to.70 percent. and work below considered unsatisfactory. The other marks F (70-79) fair, G (80-89) good, and E (90-100) excellent remains as before.
60 percent. work is without question poor work. In the business world poor work is unsatisfactory and not accepted. It should be so in school. Much of evil in our American life has arisen from our carelessness of acceptable standards. 60 percent. truth, 60 percent. morals, even food 60 percent. pure, have passed and been accepted. And it may be true that the public schools have been partially responsible for an over production of 60 percent. youth. I believe our standard of work required has been too low. It should be raised, at least to 70 percent.
I would call attention here to the additional mark on monthly report cards under the head of standing in class. This is an attempt to indicate to the parent how closely the pupil is approaching the general requirements of his grade.
MUSIC.
At the opening of the fall term regular instruction in music was introduced in the village schools under the direction of a special teacher. Two lessons a week are now conducted in each room. Results thus far have been most
36
gratifying and fully justify the expense involved. The uplifting influence of music upon individual and school can hardly be estimated. It arouses and stimulates powers often never reached otherwise in the training of many a child. Power is developed and appreciated for higher things. And it elevates the school's moral tone, introducing an emotional element that lifts ideals and modifies the coarser side of life. It makes discipline easier.
THE VILLAGE BUILDING.
As a result of the appropriation of $4,500 the village building has been extensively enlarged and improved. Two two-story wings have been added and the entire building equipped for steam heat. Each wing contains two rooms. The old front room on the first floor has been converted into a hall from which lead the three elementary school rooms. The high room and rear room beneath remains in form as before .. The building now contains six pleasant rooms, well lighted and well heated. One room on the second floor is at present unused, but will furnish ample accommodations for future growth in attendance or for other purposes as occasion arises.
The school board acting as building committee deserve the highest commendation. Upon them fell the respon- sibility of plan and expenditure, and it is difficult to see how the sum placed at their disposal could have been more wisely used. It is certainly worthy of mention that the appropriation was not exceeded. The disinterested efforts of the committee and the results obtained in the present structure will be remembered by Alton's people long after critical differences of opinion have been forgotten.
Early in September just as the building was nearing completion a temporary delay occurred and a shadow fell over the work at the untimely death of Mr. Bennett, the building contractor. He was an excellent workman and
-
37
his interest in the building was more than the ordinary interest. It took the form of a deep personal pride. His removal was a loss and keenly felt. His plans, however, were well known to his men and faithfully followed to the end. The assistance of those who lent their services and assumed added responsibility at this time in completing work unfinished displayed a loyalty most commendable.
Alton now has a good school building. It is yet in- complete, changes and improvements are still needed, but what has been done has been done well.
STATE AID.
By act of the legislature of 1909 an annual appropriation of $80,000 was raised to aid in the improvement of schools among the smaller towns of the state. No town benefits under the provisions of this act whose population is over 3500; whose equalized valuation is over $7000 per pupil of average attendance; which maintains an average of less than thirty weeks of school per year; and whose school tax rate is less than $4.50 on $1000. The last two clauses, however, are not effective until July, 1911.
Each eligible town receives (1) for every twenty-five pupils of average attendance from $ .75 to $1.75 per week, according to its valuation per pupil; (2) $2.00 per week for every teacher in service who holds a permanent state teacher's certificate or who is a graduate of an approved normal school. Upon the records of the school year ending July, 1909, Alton is eligible to benefit, with a population of 1500 and a valuation of $5421 per pupil. She has received, accordingly, under (1) $146.57, under (2) $140, a total of $286.57.
The intent of the law is to supplement not displace usual appropriations; to encourage and assist the mainten- ance of longer terms, more regular attendance, better schools. Each additional week of school maintained increases the'
38
amount received. The amount is further governed by the pupils' daily attendance. In other words every day a pupil is present tends to increase, every day he is absent tends to decrease the amount of assistance from the state. With the aid thus received the services of efficient teachers may be retained for a longer period, and better qualified teachers engaged as vacancies occur. Other needed improve- ments are also made possible. Alton has been enabled thereby to increase the salaries of her teachers and to introduce regular instruction in music.
REPAIRS.
The sanitary arrangements at the village building need immediate attention. Those in use are inadequate and unhealthy in the extreme. Twenty-eight per cent more children are enrolled in the building than last year. Proper flush closets should be installed at once.
The basement should be thoroughly cleaned and, if possible, cemented. A fair sized play room could be provided for the smaller children on stormy days, also a lunch table and benches for those who carry their dinners. From thirty to forty children eat their dinner in the building each day.
Other minor repairs are needed but the above seem to me the most urgent at present.
HIGH SCHOOL.
The high school this year is small. This is for two reasons. There was no ninth grade to promote from the grammar room, consequently only five pupils entered in September. And there is no senior class. These conditions naturally reduce the membership at least forty percent. No class will he graduated in June.
The work and character of the school is improving. The credit plan, outlined in my last report, together with an
39
increased promotion standard, are stimulating higher ideals and greater effort.
Additional apparatus for use in physics and biology have been procured, also reference works in ancient history. I would recommend that some apparatus be purchased each year as a permanent policy. Next year additional chemical equipment will be needed, also further reference works in United States history.
Students contemplating college or technical school on graduation should make their decision to this effect early in their high school course. This is exceedingly important. A year of preparation may be saved. The college and technical school entrance requirements are high. It usually requires the conscientious effort of teachers and faithful work of student combined for four years to ensure efficient preparation. An early decision admits of the proper selection of studies and more consistent work because of the special purpose in view. College preparation is rarely possible in four years to the one who fails to make his decision the first year of his course. For him an extra year or post graduate work is necessary. Our high school can prepare for college in four years, but only on the condition that preparatory work is begun the first year of the course and continued faithfully. One student graduated last June, having completed his course in three years, and entered Dartmouth in September on examination. This, however, is exceptional.
IN GENERAL.
A teachers' library has been started and placed in the villlage building. Eighteen volumes have been secured. I would recommend that a small sum be used for this purpose each year.
Teachers at the village took their visiting day in November. Schools in Ashland, Dover, Portsmouth and
40
Rochester were selected. District teachers visited our own village schools.
On the evening of June 4 an entertainment was given in the hall by the village schools. The proceeds have been expended for school room decoration.
According to law the board must report to the select- men the amount of money needed for books and supplies also for flags and appurtenances for the ensuing year.
No appropriation in school meeting is necessary. I would recommend that $300.00 be raised for books and supplies and $10.00 for flags and appurtances.
Further recommendations in detail have been sub- mitted to the board.
The usual appendices follow.
In conclusion I would express to all my appreciation for kindly support.
Respectfully submitted,
H. L. MOORE, Superintendent.
