Annual Report of the Superintendent of Schools.
To the School Board and Citizens of Alton:
I herewith submit my second report as superintendent of your public schools. The statistics are for the school year ending in June, 1914.
MEMBERSHIP.
The average membership for the year was 200, an in- crease of 21 over the previous year. The per cent of at- tendance remains the same at 93.5. The tardy marks were reduced from 357 to 239, or a gain 118. The Mountain school still furnished three times as many as any other school, but did some better than the year before. The num_ ber of pupils neither absent nor tardy increased from 20 to 36, which is unusual. The roll of honor is much larger than it had been in recent years. The number of visits by parents and others increased from 454 to 540, which is a good showing.
STATE AID.
To receive state aid the law requires a tax of $3.40 on $1,000.00 of equalized valuation. To bring the tax to that rate the Alton district must raise this year the same as last, or $5,446 for school purposes.
REPAIRS.
During the summer the village school building was painted, as directed by the district. Other than that no repairs have been made. The inside of the other build- ings needs painting and whitening during the coming summer. The stoves ought to have ventilating jackets as soon as money can be furnished for the purpose.
45
SALARIES AND WORK OF TEACHERS.
Except for the privilege of being in an up-to-date school town and in schools of high standards and efficient work on the part of capable pupils, we could not. keep the teachers we have at the pay they receive. Teachers from the Alton schools are always in demand for more respon- sible and higher salaried positions. The teachers we have this year are getting in the aggregate at least $450 less than the average for the work they are doing. That means of course if we keep our teachers and maintain the high standards we have, we must pay more for salaries during the coming year. It is especially important that the effi- cient principal of a school be retained as long as possible. It is hardly less true for his efficient associates.
In addition to his high school work this year Mr. Walsh has been teaching French one half hour each day in the VIIth and VIIIth grades. It is very interesting to note the rapid advance made by those pupils and the delight they take in that work.
Miss Harmon is teaching Cooking and Sewing for the high school girls, in addition to her work in the Grammar school. Miss Huff, the primary teacher, is teaching Sewing to the Grammar school girls.
Mr. Dee gives two-sevenths of his time to Agriculture, two-sevenths to History and the remainder to Manual Training for the VIth, VIIth and VIIIth grades, and boys in the High school. The cost for teaching Agriculture is therefore two-sevenths of Mr. Dee's salary of $750.
A School Bank has just been started in the schools of the district. It is important that children be taught to save. It is expected that all of the children in school will begin a bank account. Parents are urged to assist in this matter as much as possible.
46
PRACTICAL ARTS.
As I said last year, it is hardly necessary for me to call your attention to the educational as well as practical value of these courses in co-operation with the classical and other courses of the school. The combined development of mind and muscles is essential to the best kind of educational training, whether the aim is a classical or technical edu- cation. Alton ought to take a good deal of pride and satis- faction for the progress being made in her schools in the line of modern training. Also she ought to be glad to stand as an illustration to nearly every other town in the state of what may be done by a live district, intent on giving the children the best training possible.
The manual training in the grades and the high school has already proven itself valuable for the boys. The same may be said of the work in domestic science for the girls. A beginning in this line has been made at Gilman's Corner, and should have support for its extension. Opportunity should be given the other rural schools as soon as the time demands it.
AGRICULTURAL COURSE.
The development of a new course of study in a school is necessarily slower than most people appreciate. Much more work has already been done than shows on the sur- face. It remains for us in the coming two years in making the four year work complete to get into closer touch with the grange and the farmers of this region, to use the hothouse for the extension of experiment and demonstration work, to enlarge the work of field excursions, to give demonstrations worth while in raising of different local crops like potatoes and oats etc., to make a laboratory collection of many things interesting and helpful to those who till the soil, together with open meetings for exchange of views and discussions of mutual interest. The work of the Manual Training and Domestic Science courses have been in prog- ress long enough to thoroughly commend themselves with- out argument.
47
SUPPLEMENTARY ORGANIZATIONS.
There is a teachers' organization for the purpose of pedagogical discussions, for professional improvement and for the purpose of arranging public meetings of educational interest, and for further acquaintance and mutual co-opera- tion with parents for the betterment of the schools.
I commend the work done in Music in the schools, also the musical interests outside of the school work. I com- mend the work in Dramatics and Public Recitals. I also commend the Y. M. C. A. branch organization for the social and moral advantage of the promising boys of Alton. It is worthy of being well supported by the citizens of the town. These cultural interests linked with the best kind of schools has made Alton one of the best known towns in the State of New Hampshire.
I call your attention to the following tables which may be of interest to the parents especially, and also to the large number of names on the roll of honor. Estimates for the coming year are indicated in the report of the School Board.
In conclusion let me express my thanks for the cordial co-operation of the school board, teachers and citizens of Alton in the service of the public schools. May I also ex- press my thanks and commendations to the pupils of the school who have so diligently pursued their several courses of study.
Respectfully submitted,
F. U. LANDMAN, Superintendent.
