work with more than three grades, and some claim that two grades in a room is all that any teacher should have, if results are to be satisfactory.


While the present school buildings are ample for the accommo- dation of all pupils, they are so far apart that the Little River school has to have the first six grades, and these grades are dupli- cated at the Center school house. If they were more nearly locat- ed, so the two buildings could be used as one, or if school accom- modations could be furnished so each teacher would have but three grades, the advantages of such a change would be apparent at once. Under the present conditions, too much energy is wasted by dupli- cation of classes. The ninth grade could be continued with ad- vantage to all who cared to remain in school a year after the com- pletion of the regular school course of eight grades. This waste of energy does not by any means imply that good work is not be- ing done in all the schools, for the teachers are securing them in spite of disadvantages. I have to report a most healthy condition among the pupils. There is no friction between any of those con- nected with the schools, but harmony and hard work seem to be going hand in hand. The splendid attitude of parents, towns- people, school board, teachers and pupils is most commendable.


Considerable attention is being given to the improvement of the reading in the primary schools. A specialist met the teachers for an afternoon to give them hints and new suggestions. New life has been put into the work by the enthusiasm and teachableness of the teachers, and it is reasonably expected that marked improve- ment may follow. Modern students of child life and its needs are studying as never before methods of teaching children to read and to read intelligently. Too often we hear in our schools only me- chanical, stumbling, expressionless readers. The whole effort seems to be to pronounce so many meaningless words. It is to break up this prevailing habit and to teach children to read for thought that so much emphasis is now being placed on the primary reading. The pupil will go no further than the teacher can intelli- gently carry him, so the first effort is to educate the teacher. North Hampton is most fortunate in its primary teachers, so there is reason for expecting this work will tell when a few classes have passed


20


through the same drill in reading, if it is continued up through the grades. On nothing does the success of the future work in school depend so much as on the ability to read intelligently and intelligi- bly. Ability to read rapidly and with understanding is also taught as part of the work in reading, for it is a well known fact that rapid readers read with greater understanding than do those who read more slowly.


The schools are comparatively well equipped with books and supplies, except with supplementary reading. A partial inventory of stock on hand has been made, and, as it is completed, will greatly assist in keeping track of material available and will prevent, if intelligently used, any stock from becoming "dead." Provision should be made for using approximately $2.00 per pupil for books and supplies each year. This amount is needed each year to am- ply supply the schools with what is needed.


The most admirable state course of study is used in the schools, and is followed as closely as conditions will admit.


I have to report a splendid spirit of co-operation between pupils, parents, teachers and school board. With a continuance of this harmony and singleness of purpose, the work in the schools should justify itself to all.


The report of the Supervisor of Music is appended to this report. It deserves careful attention.


Respectfully submitted,


O. H. ADAMS, Superintendent of Schools.

REPORT OF SUPERVISOR OF MUSIC.


I take pleasure in submitting a somewhat condensed report on music this year, because I can conscientiously make it favorable.


I have, during the whole course of my supervisory work in North Hampton, met with kindest support from school boards, and many of the teachers have been excellent co-workers; but at present, I seem to be particularly favored. All of the teachers are willing to do anything that I ask, and Superintendent Adams has helped me wonderfully by the lively interest he has shown in my work, and by his generous appreciation of my efforts, while the School Board is kind and helpful.


The regular teachers and school officers can be of tremendous assistance to a special teacher by entering enthusiastically into the spirit of the work.


Nearly all of the pupils of the primary schools are able to read, at sight, exercises consisting of one and two beat notes, in any key, and many of them can read more rapid music readily.


All of the pupils of the Little River grammar school are doing excellent work, and the work at the Centre grammar school shows a lively interest, and is on a stronger basis than it has been for several years.


I have recently made some changes in presenting the work, nota- bly in introducing four different syllables in the diatonic scale, which have been found to serve as vehicles for carrying a much more beautiful tone than the old ones could do.


In addition to this I am trying to bring out more individual work, in order that all pupils may be reached.


In conclusion, I would say that if the parents of pupils, and patrons of the schools who are interested in music, will visit with us on any Wednesday, I think they will find the work very enter- taining, and will feel a pardonable pride in the musical talent of the North Hampton children.


CARL L. AKELEY, Supervisor of Music.

Report of School Board.


It is with pleasure that we submit the reports of our Superin- tendent, Mr. Adams, and of our instructor in music and drawing, Mr. Akeley.


We consider ourselves very fortunate indeed in the election of Mr. Adams as our Superintendent. He has proved himself well qualified for the position, always working for the best interests of our schools, encouraging both teachers and scholars to do their very best. Under his direction there has been a great improve- ment, especially in the reading of the lower grades. Good read- ing is essential in all the studies; in fact, unless a scholar can read rapidly and understandingly, it is quite impossible for him, or her, to do the best grade of work in any study.


In regard to the desirability of continuing the instruction in music and drawing, there can be but one opinion. The rapid advance- ment under the skilful direction of Mr. Akeley during the year con- clusively proves that the money is profitably invested.


We consider ourselves highly privileged in being able to retain Miss Cousens in the Centre Primary, for she has proven herself to be in the front rank of primary teachers.


At the East school, Miss Webb has ably filled the difficult posi- tion of a teacher of a mixed school.


Unfortunately, Mr. C. H. Woodbury, who so successfully taught the Center grammar during the spring term, decided to leave us early in the fall term, greatly to our regret. For a time it seemed impossible for us to obtain anyone competent to handle the five grades in this school; but after several attempts, Mr. C. A. Davis was secured; and, he is, as Mr. Adams tells you, doing extremely good work. Changing teachers is a serious matter, as every change makes a break, which it requires weeks of hard work to repair.


This same thing is true of the superintendency, and we hope


23


you will vote to continue the services of Mr. Adams for another year.


In conclusion, it is hoped that the loyal support given Superin- tendent and teachers in the past will continue unabated in the future.
