Annual Report of The Superin- tendent of Schools.
To the School Board and Citizens of Alton:
I herewith submit to you my fourth annual report as su- perintendent of your public schools:
ATTENDANCE.
Our membership for the past school year decreased twelve pupils due to the small size of the high school and to the small number of beginners entering Grade I the previous fall. The decrease, however, was but temporary. The present year's membership is back to its former level as shown by the follow- ing table:
Village building I34
Bay 21
Mountain II
McDuffee 8
Total
174
The rise in per cent of attendance from 90 per cent to 94 per cent is encouraging. But it is doubtful if this record can be maintained. It is 2 per cent higher than the average. Yet I would urge that every reasonable effort be exerted by parents and pupils to keep it as near this point as possible. It will be remembered that the amount of state aid received is in part dependent upon our average daily attendance.
37
Our tardiness decreased from 611 to 315 cases, or 48 per cent. This also is gratifying. Yet it can be improved. All average of 1.93 cases per pupils is high. No school should have a record of over 1.50 cases. The number of pupils not ab- sent nor tardy for the year increased from 5 to 19.
As intimated in my last report I believe this improvement in attendance to be largely due to our better and more whole- some school conditions. For further data I refer you to the tables.
SCHOOL YEAR.
At the last school meeting sufficient money was appropriated to enable the board to extend the schools outside the village to thirty-six weeks. The Bay, Mountain and McDuffee schools will therefore be continued six weeks longer this year than heretofore. The average school year for the town will thus be raised from 33.50 weeks to 36 weeks or approximately 7.5 per cent. This is decidedly a step in advance, and is one means of providing for the district schools advantages more nearly equal to those of the village. The Bay school can now be considered for all purposes a graded primary school, com- paring well in time, work and grading with the primary school at the village. The Mountain and McDuffee schools, how- ever, must still be conducted as ungraded or semi-graded schools, but the added six weeks will enable pupils to com- plete their elementary work in at least one whole year less time. I would urge that thirty-six weeks be made the regu- lar school year for these schools.
MUSIC.
The work in music as conducted in the village schools for the past year and a half deserves the highest commendation. In interest of pupils, efficiency of instruction, and in its toning up influence upon the schools it has been a decided success.
38
This work has recently been extended to the Bay school and the same work will be taken there as in the Village primary school.
MANUAL TRAINING.
Work in manual training was begun at the village building the last of the fall term. The vacant room was fitted with a minimum equipment of six benches and necessary tools. Wood working is offered to the boys of Grades VII, VIII and IX; sewing is planned for the girls. This will be preceded in the lower rooms by hand work suited to the several grades.
Our purpose is not vocational nor industrial training, nor training for any other purpose than to develop latent powers heretofore neglected by the schools. It aims to call into activ- ity certain nerves and muscles undeveloped by ordinary school routine, and to add a vital, concrete element to the often ab- stract duties of the school room. In former days the child un- derwent a varied drill at home. There were the work bench, the wood pile, the daily chores. There was responsibility in- volved and power derived from doing things. Such drill the nation needed then and needs today. But it has become the exception not the rule. Social conditions have changed. The child now receives his training very largely from the school. His knowledge is derived from books, he discovers little for himself. There is ample head work but little hand work. As a result he is lacking in the resourcefulness and accuracy of his fathers. Partly to supply this lack is the aim of manual train- ing.
Results are at once apparent. Pupils of a mechanical turn of mind finding little attractive in the ordinary courses are waked up and held in school. It fits their taste and flavors of the world's work. In it they feel that they are doing some- thing. They observe material results, successful only in pro-
39
portion to their efforts. It results also in a greater definite- ness in all their own work, in arithmetic and language, his- tory and science. And not the least is its moral effect. It tends to impress upon the minds of the rising generation the dignity of manual labor.
Thus briefly are its aim and its results. It means much to many a child in its immediate effect, and in later years is bound to mean much to the community in which the child shall live, expressed in a better rounded and more intelligent citi- zenship.
REPAIRS, ETC.
I would again call attention to the sanitary arrangements at the village building, also to the matter of ventilation. $1000 was appropriated last year for this purpose but after more thorough investigation the amount seemed insufficient for properly providing the necessary improvements. Work has been delayed, therefore, pending further action by the district.
Minor repairs are needed at the Bay and McDuffee buildings. The walls of the former school should be whitewashed or tint- ed, and some of the seats should be replaced by a smaller size. The McDuffee building needs painting outside and in- side. I would further recommend that the pupils' desks in the several buildings be varnished. They would last longer and be more sanitary. Some floor preparation should be used in sweeping the rooms to keep down the dust and ensure more thorough cleaning. A preparation, as dustbane, would lessen the labor of sweeping and make possible a much health- ier room, preventing many colds and throat trouble. The ex- pense involved would be slight.

HIGH SCHOOL.
Our high school is still small, at least 30 per cent less than normal. But indications point to a gradual increase until in three years it will again approximate forty pupils. Following is the table of attendance:

The past year's work of the school examined by the State Department as a basis for reapproval was up to the standard and satisfactory in every particular.
In my last report I spoke of the necessity of an early de- cision for pupils contemplating college or technical school who ' desire to prepare in four years' time. This cannot be too strongly emphasized. I would here mention another matter of importance in high school procedure. I refer to the ex- pense and elaborate preparations often incident to graduation exercises. Unnecessary burdens may be thrust upon well meaning parents who, prompted by false standards, attempt to provide for their child appointments equal to those of oth- ers. Graduation should not be an occasion for expensive dress nor extended display. Plain dress, simple decorations and brief but appropriate exercises are by far the most ef- fective, and involve but little expense to individual or class.
PLAYGROUNDS.
In general the movement towards better school playgrounds is based upon the assumption that there is much to gain in the way of moral and physical development through well organized
-
41
play, and. that the child's play time as well as his work time should be under the intelligent oversight of interested teach- ers. Wherever the matter has received the slightest attention the soundness of the assumption has been amply demonstrated.
The most that children gain while together on the school grounds is the pure air they breathe and a sense of freedom from the confinements of the school room, manifested accord- ing to the disposition and inclination of the child. It usually takes the form of more or less aimless romping, scrapping and collecting in groups with often questionable conversation and mischievous plots. The mind is idle, drifting, and easily susceptible to suggestions and whims, Troubles arise and the discpline of the school becomes difficult to control. A little is gained in relaxation, but much is lost in wasted time and the formation of careless and idle habts; such habits as lead now and later to careless living and careless thinking. The best of moral instruction in the school room may be com- pletely ruined by laxity of control at recess.
Children together need occupation during their leisure mo- ments. Nature intended play. Few children, however, really play without encouragement and at times intelligent direc- tion. Give them this and they respond in a most natural way. And the result is a transformation of the whole atmosphere of the school grounds. Everybody is busy and happy. There is no time for idleness or corrupt conversation. On their re- turn to the school room they are ready for serious things. Their superfluous energy has been spent. Discipline becomes an easy matter.
As the result of the subscription paper circulated during the fall term considerable apparatus has been secured; tennis and basketball outfits, swings, sand piles, croquet sets, etc. I am sure that the results of this movement are evident on
42
the grounds, on the streets and in public places, and that those who contributed for this purpose have been well repaid in a higher moral tone among the children. To Mr. MacLean is due the success of organization.
As long as this means of recreation maintains its proper relation to the more serious work of the school it would re- ceive the earnest support of all interested in the children of the community. I strongly recommend that the real purpose of these plays and games always be kept in view and that as school interests they never be allowed to serve the purpose of interscholastic rivalry through public contests with out of town schools.
SCHOOL SESSIONS.
Near the close of the fall term the daily sessions of the vil- lage and Bay schools were reduced from six to five and one- half hours in length. The sessions are now from 9 to 12 a. m., and from I to 3:30 p. m. at the village and 1:15 to 3:30 at the Bay. I believe the change was needed and I would recom- mend that the above be made a permanent schedule.
PUBLIC MEETINGS.
A teachers' club has been formed composed of the teachers of the town. Under the direction of the club three public meet- ings are arranged to which all citizens are cordially invited. State, Superintendent H. C. Morrison of Concord, Superinten- den G. H. Whitcher of Berlin, and Principal C. L. Wallace of Plymouth are expected to speak. These meetings held in the high room are intended to give the people of Alton a special opportunity to come into the building, observe the work, and become familiar with matters of educational interest, especially the problems we are endeavoring to work out in their public schools.

IN CONCLUSION.
I would call attention to the tables, etc., immediately fol- lowing, also to the estimated appropriations needed for the ensuing year as outlined at the close of the financial report of the school board.
In conclusion I wish especially to extend to the board my appreciation for their encouragement and support
Respectfully submitted, H. L. MOORE, Superintendent.
